[4361] Episode 192: Gathering the Army

"Cavalry, assault!" With a loud shout, Dian Wei took the lead, holding a pair of iron halberds, and broke into the camp of the Yizhou officials and soldiers like a flock of sheep.

The war horse is galloping, the speed is fast, the speed of Dian Wei is faster, the goal is clear, the horse is in the direction, between the raised hands, only to see the iron halberd, the momentum is a blow, straight to the wings, a sharp strange sound in the air "woo" erupted, the wind whistled, and there was a terrifying power to smash the space.

Zhang Yi was defeated in the hands of Gan Ning before, and he had lost his own bravery and sharpness, at this moment, at first glance, he saw the fierce and vicious Dian Wei attacking, and he couldn't even give birth to the mind to resist, and blindly wanted to dodge, but Dian Wei came extremely fast, and he came to the front in the blink of an eye, where was there a chance for him to retreat.

"Click!" With a muffled sound, He saw that the heavy iron halberd fell, and smashed his head and face on Zhang Yi's face, and the terrifying power exploded, Zhang Yi was smashed on the spot, and his flesh and blood were blurred, completely devoid of human appearance, and half of his head was directly smashed into a paste.

Beside him, many Yizhou officers and soldiers suddenly saw such a bloody and cruel scene, and they were all heartbroken, screaming and shouting, and hurriedly ran away.

"Kill!" Dian Wei shouted angrily in his mouth, led the troops to kill forward, galloped with the horse's hooves, and the iron halberds in both hands roared through the air, vertical and horizontal, and the officers and soldiers of Yizhou who were blocking him fell one after another. Kneel and beg for a hundred unique *eye* songs

"Hahahaha! General Dian is so brave! Although he was seriously injured, Gan Ning only felt extremely happy at this moment, and the five thousand elite cavalry was attacking, not only solving the deadly crisis of his vanguard army, but also the possibility of defeating the other party!

"Soldiers, reinforcements, ready to fight back!" After all, he is a general of the unified army, and at the critical moment, Gan Ning still held his mind, seized the opportunity, and shouted.

This shout not only boosted the morale of the 500 Taiping Army soldiers after the break, but also caused the officers and soldiers of Deyizhou to fall into a panic immediately.

First of all, their two generals died in Gan Ning's knife, and now there is suddenly such an elite cavalry reinforcement, the Yizhou official army that originally had the upper hand was rushed in the blink of an eye, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals were completely unable to resist in the face of the impact of the Taiping army's five thousand elite cavalry, and for a while, there were countless casualties, and even some people have begun to lose their weapons, or surrender on their knees, or turn around and flee!

Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but look blue, I have to say that the five thousand Taiping army elite cavalry came at a very bad time, if it was after he annihilated Gan Ning, even if he was not an opponent, he relied on the strength of the crowd, at least he had the strength to fight, but at this moment, even if he had the heart to organize the soldiers to fight back, but in the face of the impact of the elite cavalry, such a degree of resistance still seemed too weak.

Since the Taiping Army, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Jingzhou and even Yizhou have been in great wars, and the soldiers have only undergone strict training, and they have also been baptized by the fire of war, and have transformed into real soldiers.

Under the leadership of Dian Wei, the Taiping Army's 5,000 elite cavalry burst out with such a strong combat power that it can be called brave, and launched a ruthless massacre against the stubborn Yizhou official army!

The 20,000 Yizhou officers and troops collapsed and dissipated in the blink of an eye, and Li Yantu had no choice but to lead hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals, taking advantage of the cover of the night and having the advantage of being familiar with the location, to retreat to Yucheng.

Dian Wei led the army to chase and kill, Gan Ning was wounded to collect the prisoners of the defeated army in Yizhou, although the vanguard army was killed and wounded more than half, but the 30,000 officers and soldiers in Yizhou were also killed and wounded, and 13,000 people became prisoners, which were controlled by the Taiping army and sent to Ba County.

Soon, the vanguard army led by Wei Yan also arrived here, joined the Ganning army, plus Dian Wei, a total of 20,000 troops, and went straight to the city of Ruo, and began to set up camp.

Because of the previous encounter, they knew that the Yizhou official army was ready to fight against the Taiping army on the front line of Luocheng, and now, the Yizhou official army gathered a large number of troops on the front line of Luocheng, Gan Ning was heavily damaged, and although Wei Yan and Dian Wei were brave, it was impossible to break through the heavily defended Luocheng.

Within a few days, Xiao Lan personally led the army to arrive, and the vanguard and rear army combined had reached 80,000 people, which was not much worse than the power of the attack on Bishui Pass that day.

That night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Lan convened the generals to discuss the matter, and when even a young general stepped forward, he respectfully reported: "Marshal Qiqi, these days, the Yizhou army has been assembled on the front line of Luocheng, and the number of officers and soldiers assembled in Luocheng alone has exceeded 40,000, and there are military villages on the left and right, and there are not 20,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Roughly calculated, the number of Yizhou officers and troops assembled has reached 80,000, and as a defender, the Yizhou officers and troops completely occupy a geographical advantage, and the same number of troops will naturally have a great advantage to take advantage of.

"Huh?" With a deep groan, Xiao Lan's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, he thought that by breaking the city, he would have the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Yizhou official army, but he didn't expect that the Yizhou official army would be much more active than he imagined, so it was good, as long as he annihilated this group of Yizhou official troops, then, in the entire Yizhou, there would be no strength to resist the edge of the Taiping army.

"Who are the commanders of Yizhou?" Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "But there are any characters worthy of attention, which should not be underestimated. ”

Wei Yan immediately stepped out of the queue and responded in a deep voice: "Lord Qiqi, the commander of the Yizhou official army is Cao Jialong, a soldier of Yizhou, and in addition, Li Yan and Zhang Ren, who previously calculated General Gan Ning, are not to be underestimated. ”

"Jalon? Li Yan? Zhang Ren? Xiao Lan has heard of these names, and he knows that they are all rare commanders in Yizhou, but although he will be vigilant, he will not have the slightest fear, after all, he is convinced that in the face of absolute power, no matter how capable the other party is, he will not be able to stop his own soldiers.

"Yes, it's them." Wei Yan said in a deep voice: "This time, a large number of Yizhou officers and troops have gathered, it seems that they want to block our army here and have a decisive battle with our army. ”

On the side, Xun You couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a while, he asked out loud: "General Wei Yan, what are the banners of the soldiers and horses who came to test the camp, have you ever seen it clearly?" ”

"This-" Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a while, and then raised his head and responded: "This-if the last general is not mistaken, among the soldiers and horses who came to test, there seems to be a 'Wu' character general flag!" ”

"'Wu'?" Xun You couldn't help frowning again, and only then did he laugh softly: "According to the information collected by our army, there are not many generals surnamed Wu in Yizhou!" It seems that there are only two identities in it, one is Wu Lan and the other is Wu Yi! It's just that they and Jia Long don't belong to the same faction, it seems that this time Liu Yan is out of the way and handed over all the soldiers and horses in Yizhou to Jia Long, so that he can gather such a large number of soldiers and horses. ”

"Good!" Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "The terrain of Yizhou is steep, and it is not a good thing for our army to attack the city one by one, now, they are concentrating their forces, but they also just give us a chance to break the enemy, as long as this official army is defeated, then, to take Yizhou, there will be no need to spend any more effort." ”

Xun You said with a smile: "What the lord said is good, although Jia Long gathered Yizhou's troops, it seems that his strength has risen greatly, but within the Yizhou army, there are many factions and contradictions, although there are tens of thousands of troops, but if you want to break it, it is easier, as long as you use a little trick, it can be effective!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Lan chuckled softly: "The big war is coming, what tricks can Mr. Unknown teach me?" ”

"Hehe......." Hearing Xiao Lan's inquiry, Xun You immediately chuckled, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, lord!" Although there is no way to break the city, there is an existing method, which can decompose the Yizhou officials and army, and the results will be seen in a few days....... (to be continued.) )
