Chapter 20: Falling Clouds and Scorching Clouds
Soon, the news that the Wang army and the northern army had divided their troops to take the Kauer Valley and Tianhu Lake penetrated to the side of the Luoyun Canyon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nangong Hong in the military tent received the news and couldn't help laughing, he finally understood what Qing Ying meant by "waiting for good news".
He said loudly, "It seems that our side should be able to break through the Falling Cloud Canyon soon!" ”
"Third uncle, Yan Yan's side should have already gotten the news, I'm afraid it will attack in the next two days, right?" Nangong Jie took over the words, and his expression was a little worried, "Now that Yan Yan has lost in Luer Valley, Entering the Capital and Tianhu, it means that there are only the last two lines of defense left in the capital, the Valley Pass and the Protector of the Capital. The forces on this side of the Falling Cloud Canyon may go to support, but they may not divide the troops, but choose to fight us one step earlier, so as to join up with the side of Tianyou. ”
Nangong Hong smiled a little when he heard this, and nodded slightly, "Ajie, what you said is very right, so in the past two days, Yan Yan should take the initiative to attack, and the Beixia City side where the Eastern Army is stationed may also attack at the same time!" ”
Nangong Jie was a little puzzled when he heard this, since the third uncle understood this, why was he so happy? Isn't the current situation more serious for them?
"Although the decisive battle is imminent, it is actually beneficial for us." Wu Yan waved his feather fan and said slowly, "The Wang army won a great victory in the battle of Kauer Valley, and the casualties were very few, which means that the army division will definitely send troops to support us." What she said by 'waiting for good news' shouldn't mean that waiting for their side to break through would cause the Yan Yan army on this side of Luoyun Canyon to divide their troops, so the pressure on us would be less. Of course, this possibility is not impossible, when there is also the possibility that Yan Yan will directly abandon the capital and speed up the attack in order to join forces with Tianyou. The question we can think of, how could the army division not think of such a clever calculation? ”
"So what we can do now, is to resist Yan Yan's attack before reinforcements come." Zhang Yuanyi (Zhang Shaogong), who had not spoken, suddenly asked.
After he finished the East School, he was sent to the Northern Xinjiang Army, and after Yan Yan invaded from the Northern Frontier, the Northern Frontier people were slaughtered, and in the end, only he was left to retreat to the Northern Mansion with Nangong Hong. This time, when the Restoration Army was reorganized into three armies, Nangong Hong came to Peony City and left him to guard Luoyun Canyon.
Even if Zhang Yuanyi was not incorporated into the three armies and became a general with troops, he was the one who knew Luoyun Canyon the most in the whole army. So these days, after the arrival of the Northern Army, Nangong Hong still handed over the most important position to Zhang Yuanyi to guard, which shows his trust in him, and it can be regarded as indirectly justifying his name.
"That's right! And the offense should be even stronger than before. Nangong Hong pursed the corners of his mouth as he said and looked at him, "Yuan Yi, Yan Yan may attack at any time in the past few days, so be prepared." Ajie, you guys remember to defend at any time, and do what we discussed before. ”
"Yes!" The generals got up and gave up, and then each withdrew from the main account.
Three days later, Yan Yan really launched an attack as they expected, and the number of people attacking this time was incomparable compared to the past, and looking at the formation was the rhythm of the decisive battle.
Although the northern army occupied a geographical advantage, it did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and sent nearly eight layers of soldiers to resist.
At the same time, the news that Beixia City was attacked by Tianyou also came. The situation in the army was unprecedentedly grim, and the hearts of the soldiers were also tightened.
At this time, on the front line of Luoyun Canyon, the battle was stalemate, and it had almost entered a white-hot state.
The battle that began in the morning was halted, and the attack and retreat were carried out in turn, and the battle was not over until the next morning.
The genius was bright, the sound of killing sounded again, and Yan Yan's new round of attack began again.
I saw that in the midst of the chaos of the soldiers, a person rushed into the battlefield, he was wearing black armor, raising a black brocade cloak behind, and a black horse galloped on his crotch, like a black wind swirling on the battlefield.
I saw him waving a spear in his hand, showing off his might in the morning breeze. Where the tip of the spear swept, there were bursts of blood rain, and the horse's hooves flew by, and how many thieves fell behind them?
The black horse shuttled through the battlefield, as fast as if it were about to fly, as fast as lightning, and as fast as the wind, unexpectedly fast.
This is a horse that Zhang Yuanyi only recently acquired, and it is said to belong to the same breed as Yuelongxiang. However, apart from the fact that only certain people can ride it, it is different from the Yuelongxiang: it is a stallion, and when tamed, it is not irritable and does not become aggressive towards others who come close.
It also took Zhang Yuanyi a long time to tame it, and this time he took advantage of the decisive battle to bring it to the scene.
This speed and momentum is really a "dark horse"!
The Yan Yan army immediately withdrew its troops and retreated temporarily.
Zhang Yuanyi also hurriedly asked the soldiers to stop, not to chase, and to retreat for the time being.
Looking at the Yan Yan army retreating in an orderly manner, and turning his head to look at the tired brothers, Zhang Yuanyi became more and more worried.
Yan Yan rushed into battle with cavalry first, and Liuyu also resisted with cavalry, although the cavalry of Northern Xinjiang is also famous in Feiyun Continent, but compared to Yan Yan's, it is indeed a little worse, not to mention that this is a new army that has just been formed after the defeat of Northern Xinjiang, and the original Northern Xinjiang is only two hundred horsemen.
So at the beginning, they were slightly inferior, but fortunately, because of the geographical advantage of Luoyun Canyon, they barely held on.
Hu Erchi relied on a large number of soldiers, and the Yan Yan people were originally physically stronger than the Liuyu people, so it was indeed beneficial for Yan Yan to use wheel warfare to make them tired of fighting. On the one hand, Yan Yan has this capital consumption, and on the other hand, it also shows that Hu Erchi has been forced to have no way.
After all, wheel warfare not only consumes the enemy, but also consumes oneself.
Now that they have taken the Holy City and the Heavenly Lake, Kuerchi does not send troops to reinforce the valley mouth, which means that he wants to break through the Falling Cloud Canyon to make the army of the King of Jewels divide troops to support, so as to alleviate the threat of the valley mouth.
The fact that Hurchi would use wheels to fight shows his urgency, and that he had no better way.
Of course, compared to the Kauer Valley and the Heavenly Lake, Luoyun Canyon is the best place to deal with, and it is also the closest and easiest place to join forces with Tianyou.
This is also one of the reasons why Khurchi must be captured.
The exit of Luoyun Canyon is very large, and they divide their troops to guard five passes, and Yan Yan must send troops to contain them at the same time if they want to prevent the joint defense of the five passes.
That's why Yan Yan dispatched so many main forces to attack here this time.
They have attacked five times now, and in terms of the situation on his side, it is estimated that after three more battles, Yan Yan will be able to break through the Luoyun Canyon, and the situation at other passes should be similar, right?
Although the news from Wang Jun's side says that reinforcements are already on the way, whether they can catch up now is the biggest problem!
Zhang Yuanyi thought about it, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and his mind was full of sorrow.
