Chapter 24: The Might of the Tiger and the Leopard
Bai Yin looked at the young man with a resolute face, and then looked at the sword in his waist, he faintly felt that there would be such a day.
Feng Mo didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, so he began to ask Yuan Li what he thought of today's battle.
"You didn't pursue today, are you afraid of the leopard pawn?"
"Yes! When I commanded during the day, I did not find a leopard pawn on the battlefield, so I did not dare to pursue, for fear of falling into Moko's trap. ”
"Well, that's where I'm weird! Like today, during the day, when the two armies are fighting each other, if the leopard pawn is thrown into the battlefield by Moko, it is bound to gain a great advantage. But Mo Ke Ning was willing to retreat, and did not send leopard pawns. His choice made me very confused. ”
Yuan Li's analysis is exactly what Feng Mo wondered, Mo Ke was the second-ranked general in the imperial capital, so naturally it is impossible not to find this situation, so the leopard pawn still hasn't appeared, what is the reason?
Three hundred miles away from Zhufeng Pass, the leopard pawn camps
"General, I heard from the front that the king of Liwang fought a battle with the coalition forces of the Yang Yu Dynasty today, and there was no winner or loser. If we are here, today will be a big victory!"
Looking at the complaining soldiers next to him, Wu Chen smiled, "What we are doing is much more useful than winning a big battle!"
"General, we are here to escort grain and grass, what's the use?"
"Little Four, haven't you noticed any difference?"
The soldier named Xiaosi thought for a while, "Except for a little more grain and grass, there is no difference in this batch of grain and grass." ”
"It's because he has a lot!" Wu Chen smiled, "Rest early, you'll know in the future!"
Three days later, the battalion of the Yang Yu coalition army
"Report! There are leopard soldiers leaving the country in the northwest of Zhufeng Pass, with about 50,000 people, and a large amount of grain and grass!"
Feng Mo slammed the table and stood up, what? He never thought that Mo Ke would send a leopard pawn to escort grain and grass, no wonder Mo Ke sent no leopard pawn three days ago, because he didn't have a leopard pawn at that time! Feng Mo slammed his fist on the table again, his caution lost the best chance to defeat Mo Ke!
"General Feng Mo, what should we do now?" the black fox Ouyang Yi asked. The Black Fox Soldiers are second only to the troops under the jurisdiction of the four famous generals in terms of the quality of the imperial army, so the reinforcements of the Seven Nations are mainly based on Ouyang Yi, which is what Ouyang Yi said, which is the meaning of the reinforcements of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Cut off the grain and grass. Feng Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Although I don't know what Mo Ke's purpose is for doing this, since it has been sent to us, we have to eat it! In order to prevent Mo Ke from designing an ambush, we have to formulate two sets of plans." ”
Feng Mo and the generals of various countries quickly made a plan. Then immediately set off, and the coalition army rushed violently towards the leopard pawn in the northwest direction of Zhufeng Pass.
Thirty miles northwest of Zhufeng Pass
The banner gradually appeared in Wu Chen's field of vision, and the sound of fighting in his ears became louder and louder, and Wu Chen knew that his whereabouts had been discovered by Feng Mo.
"All the generals listen to the order and prepare for battle! Remember, don't fall in love with war, sending grain and grass to the Casting Edge Pass is our goal!"
Soon, Zhao's light cavalry and cloud cavalry slaughtered the leopard pawn, and the three troops soon became entangled. The cloud cavalry and the Zhao light cavalry relied on the advantage of cavalry to have some advantages on the battlefield, but they were quickly smoothed out by the bravery of the leopard pawn.
The leopard pawns did not hide from the cavalry's horses, they used their bodies to drag the horses forward, the horses shattered their chests, and at the same time the leopard soldiers behind them cut off the cavalry on horseback. The wounded leopard pawns clung to the horse's legs, and some of them were still clutched tightly after being kicked in the forehead by the horse's hind hooves.
The men on the horses kept falling from their horses, and they were accompanied by the sharp daggers of the leopard pawns. The casualties of the leopard pawns were undoubtedly huge, but their opponents paid an even more expensive price. To form a leopard army, it is enough that no one needs to have a weapon, they do not ride horses, do not wear armor, they are such a fragile force, and they once shocked the Sixteen Kingdoms of Yang Yu!
Every soldier of the leopard pawn is not afraid of death, but they are afraid of becoming slaves! They are far away from the country and their harvest is not high, but they still have to be levied by the imperial capital to the same forced labor as the rich countries in the south of the Yangtze River. Now, Moko has rebelled, and they see the hope of freedom! They must die with them!
Under the suicidal style of the leopard pawn, the Zhao cavalry and the cloud cavalry had begun to be afraid, and the number of people charging gradually decreased, and the Zhao cavalry and cloud cavalry began to rout.
And about twenty miles behind the Zhao cavalry, several troops under Feng Mo had also begun to engage Mo Ke.
Mo Ke directly sent the Tiger Departure Soldiers and Heavy Thunder Cavalry, while the Yang Yu Coalition Army was resisted by Dunjia Soldiers and Songzhen Soldiers. However, Mo Ke relied on the advantage of cavalry speed to decisively bypass and quickly killed the Jinmu archers.
The Jinmu archers are mainly crossbowmen, and such troops, in the face of the tiger and wolf army under Mo Ke, once they get close, they will be crushed. Fortunately, the Black Fox Soldiers and Wei Wushu brought their troops closer to the Jinmu Archers in time, holding back Mo Ke's speed. At this time, the Dunjia soldiers and the Songzhen soldiers had already chased back and approached, while the Fengyu cavalry was part of the Huli archers, and the other part was the Zhao cavalry that quickly supported the rout under the leadership of Tang Chen and Bai Yin.
Mo Ke led the Huli soldiers to fight back against the Fengyu cavalry near the city wall, and Mo Zicheng rode behind with heavy thunder to block the interception of the coalition army. Soon the tiger left the army to find the opportunity to break through, Mo Ke immediately led the troops to rush to the Fengyu cavalry under the city wall, Feng Mo saw this, and immediately ordered the Fengyu cavalry to slow down the speed of the tiger leaving the army while quickly withdrawing from the enemy's firing range.
At this time, the heavy thunder cavalry has also rushed to the vicinity of the tiger to join it, and the coalition forces of the Yang Yu Dynasty have also begun to slowly surround Mo Ke's army, and the retreating phoenix feather cavalry has also returned to the coalition troops, the two sides have fallen into a melee, and no one can gain an advantage for a while, and at this time, the leopard pawn and the phoenix feather cavalry who went to support, which side can defeat the opponent first and rush back to support, which side will have the first chance of victory.
Tang Chen and Bai Yin led the army to quickly rush to the vicinity of the leopard pawn, and when they saw the leopard pawn advancing rapidly in front, the soldiers of the Fengyu cavalry did not feel trembling.
The Zhao cavalry and the cloud cavalry gradually approached the Fengyu cavalry under the leadership of Shangguan Muchen, while the cloud cavalry commander Gu Yuanxin was beheaded by Wu Chen in the battle. The Zhao cavalry and the Yun cavalry were afraid, and they recalled how majestic the tiger and leopard were when they left the country, and now, the idea that the majestic tiger and leopard who left the country came back appeared in the hearts of every soldier who was repulsed!
A wave of fear permeated the coalition forces, and in the face of the troops whose numbers and equipment were inferior to their own, the cavalry of the coalition army did not dare to charge forward!
They're scared!
Wu Chen looked at the Yang Yu coalition army opposite, and secretly laughed in his heart: The army of the Yang Yu Dynasty will always be so weak!
Wu Chen signaled the troops to stop advancing, believing that the opposing troops would retreat in fear in a few moments. And this can preserve the strength of the leopard pawn more, although the leopard pawn is not afraid of death, but it is naturally the best to reduce the sacrifice for the current situation.
Just when Wu Chen thought that the other party was about to retreat, a young man, riding a horse, rushed towards him.
"Whoever hurts my soldiers, come and die!"
