Chapter 202: The Decisive Battle
The Hedong army marched to Yijin Pass, which may be good news for the wolf riders of Datong Mansion, but it is definitely not a good news for Yelushu who fought with Liu Feng outside Yijin Pass, and it can even be said to be bad news.
Jacob's defeat pushed Yelushu to an extremely passive position, and he was a little difficult to take care of at this time, but he, like Jacob, experienced that trace of intriguing meaning from Guo Wei's soldiers to Yijin Pass, instead of sending troops to Datong Mansion.
Not only is the internal affairs of the Khitan unstable, but there are also many factions in the Han army, and the Hedong Army and the Fanyang Mansion Army will not always have such a deep brotherhood, Yelushu understands it very well in his heart.
Although the Fanyang Mansion Army has shown the characteristics of a strong army, the number of the Fanyang Mansion Army is still far from being comparable with the Hedong Army and the Khitan Wolf Cavalry, which is also the biggest weakness of the Fanyang Mansion Army at this time.
Yelushu and Yeluwu carefully weighed the gains and losses in front of them in the big tent, but after thinking about it, they still couldn't think of what the Khitan army would gain from going south this time. Perhaps finding out the combat power and strength of the Fanyang Mansion army stationed at Yijin Pass is a goal for the Khitan wolf to ride south.
Both Yelushu and Yeluwu knew that before the arrival of the Hedong army, they would retreat, how to retreat? How to protect the warriors under his command, Yelushu did not dare to be the slightest slack, and carefully discussed with Yelushu.
This time the south did not come to fruition, the Khitan tribes, the grassland tribes, will have some words, Yelushu will find a scapegoat for all this, Jacob will be the best candidate.
Jacob was not stupid, he did not return to the camp after the defeat, but returned to Xijing Datong Mansion to recuperate, and avoided Yelushu's questioning under the pretext of this, and Yelushu at this time could only bear all this.
Looking at the Yijin Pass outside the camp, Yelushu whipped the horse whip viciously, once upon a time, this northern land was under the iron hooves of the wolf rider, trampling on the horses at will, after each autumn harvest, they could plunder the horses, and plunder the carts of gold and silver treasures back to the grassland.
However, this time, the wolf cavalry crashed into the Jiancheng Iron Pass, perhaps in vain, the Fanyang Mansion Army retreating in the Yijin Pass, and still has the ability to go out of the city to fight in the field, this is called the Khitan Wolf Cavalry Army, this time the south has a lot of rules, and does not dare to loot at the border pass.
Jerush was unwilling! The Khitan wolf rider warriors were not reconciled!
Time passed in a flash, Guo Wei led the army to Mayi, and arrived in Baozhou in a few days!
Outside Yijin Pass, the drums of war have not dissipated, and Yelushu and Yelu Wu are making the final plan, perhaps wanting to use a victory to draw an end to this southern invasion, and continue to impact Yijin Pass for several days.
And there are a small group of wolf riders, who also circumvent Yijin Pass and go south to plunder, intending to loot some property to supplement the losses of the army, but these wolf riders who broke through the blockade line have little effect, and even leave themselves and their war horses in the north.
Thirty miles away from the three passes, almost all of them are military forts, where the military cantonment is located, if the wolf cavalry invades in a big way, these military forts will inevitably not be able to hold it, but they deal with some small groups of wolf cavalry, but they are hand-to-hand.
Within a few days, Liu Feng, Zeng Yu, Guo Chongtao and others were a little anxious and tired of dealing with some of the methods of Yelushu and Yeluwu, Fanyang Mansion is still a nascent force in the end, and there are deficiencies in all aspects, if it is in ordinary times, it naturally seems to be vigorous and upward, but in wartime, or when it is dangerous, the response at all levels is a little immature.
After more than a month of war, Fanyang Mansion has exposed all kinds of problems, of course, the biggest problem is the lack of talents, but there is a lack of talents to take charge of themselves.
Fortunately, everyone was united, although they were busy, but there were no big mistakes, and they still held Yijin Guan firmly in their hands.
The wolf cavalry attack was fierce, the resistance of the Fan Yang army was stubborn, the Hedong army was getting closer and closer, Yelushu's brows were tightened, and the Yelu house beside him was also very anxious.
When night fell again, the attack had to slow down again, and the small group of wolf cavalry that attacked and the wolf cavalry of the large group attacking the city made no progress, and everywhere was still tightly controlled by Fan Yangjun.
"Where has the Hedong Army gone?"
"The troops have arrived in Yizhou, and they can go to Yijin Pass tomorrow!"
Hearing the general under his tent answer, Yelushu's already tightly knit brows became even tighter, "Rectify the wounded soldiers and retreat first!" Yelushu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, asking the generals under his command to go down and prepare.
"Tomorrow I will have a face with the Hedong Army, and then make a decision!" Jerushu said again, but he didn't know about this decision, and sent himself to the Jedi, and also rode tens of thousands of wolves to death.
Yizhou, in the Hedong Army camp, it seems to be a huge military camp, but in fact there are not too many soldiers, Guo Wei is not a short-sighted person, not attacking Datong Mansion, but it is another consideration, but if the army comes out, just to scare the Khitan wolf away, such a thing, Guo Wei disdains to do.
So after the army set off, Guo Wei began to make arrangements, among the 300,000 troops, 50,000 elite soldiers were selected and secretly marched towards Yijin Pass, while the rest of the army rushed to Yijin Pass at the usual marching speed.
Guo Wei just wanted to catch Yelushu off guard, or to teach the wolf a hard lesson, everything was carried out in an orderly manner in Guo Wei's plan.
The leader of the 50,000 elite soldiers was Murong Yanzhao, the fierce general of the Hedong Army, but these 50,000 troops were the elite iron cavalry that combined the forbidden army and the Hedong army, and it may be said that it was the most elite combat power in the Han Dynasty.
These elite generals took advantage of the night to quickly enter the Yijin Pass, in order to cooperate with the 50,000 troops to achieve a surprise effect, Liu Feng did not immediately put them to use, but waited for a day.
Yijin Pass has always maintained a state that is about to be captured, and it is this crumbling appearance that makes Yelushu and Yelu Wuzhi unable to make up their minds to retreat, and they always feel that there will be a moment when Yijin Pass will be under the iron hooves of the wolf's ride.
……
The sky is bright again! The battle is up again!
However, Yijin Guanzhong is a little different, after the 50,000 elite fresh troops have been repaired for a day, there is a trace of fighting spirit, if Liu Feng still does not allow them to go to the battlefield today, I am afraid that there will be a military mutiny!
There are only 80,000 wolf horsemen left in the Khitan army, but there are the elite of the wolf horses, Yelushu's palace tent army, Yelushu has not been willing to let his elite attack the city, this last assault, Yelushu also let the palace tent army come out to suppress the formation, at this moment, maybe he himself did not have the idea of breaking through Yijin Pass.
However, just when the wolf cavalry used the usual cavalry to suppress the defenders on the city pass, the north gate of Yijin Pass was opened, and the unique carriage sergeant in the Hedong Army quickly drove out of the door hole, and the stunned wolf cavalry stabilized his mind a little, and the Fan Yang Army, the Hedong Army, and the Forbidden Army also totaled 80,000 troops and drove out of the city.
Yelushu and Yeluwu in the Khitan army formation also discovered that something was wrong at the first time, and he didn't need others to explain to him, the completely different military uniforms of the forbidden army, the Hedong army, and the Fanyang army had already given him the best answer.
Looking at Yelushu, who was a little stunned, Yeluwu had to go beyond his bounds and ordered: "Stand back!" Formation! ”
When the frightened Yelushu retreated with his sergeants to form a formation, he found that the Han army against them was by no means an ordinary army, and its calm and fierce momentum had been oppressing his side.
Even if Yelushu was in the straw bale, he found that things were not good, when did the Hedong army arrive at Yijin Pass? Is the whole army here? and other problems followed, but at this moment he had to press the anxiety in his heart.
At this moment, the war drums sounded among the Han army, and the Hedong army, which was still recuperating, and the Fan Yang army, which had already held back a vicious spirit, pressed towards the wolf cavalry formation.
Seeing that the Han army began to act, Yelushu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "The Han army bullied me too much!" With only an army of 80,000 cavalry, do you dare to fight with my wolf cavalry? ”
"Sons! Give me all the horses, the whole army to fight, today we have to teach these arrogant people a hard lesson! ”
Yelushu gave an order, and the wolf riders turned over their horses one after another, and put their weapons in their hands, how could the wolf riders be afraid of a field battle with the Han army, let alone under the same strength.
The cavalry rushing into battle is nothing more than a three-plate axe, but the technology and artistic mastery of the three-plate axe are none other than wolf riding, 20,000 palace tent horsemen go straight to the middle army in Hedong, and the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping is extraordinary, which can make the world lose color.
The wolf rider's move angered one of the Han army, it was Murong Yanzhao, the fierce general in the Hedong Army, who was still in high spirits and teased Chai Rong beside him, but when he saw the wolf rider's action, he was like picking a soft persimmon and pinching it, and he came straight to the middle of the Hedong army.
Murong Yanzhao didn't understand civilization and subtlety, so he immediately scolded angrily: "Grandma is a bear!" These wolf cubs, do you think our Hedong Army is easy to bully? Actually the first to attack our Hedong Army? ”
He didn't know that the Hedong Army had about 40,000 people, but almost all of them were infantry troops, and the other 10,000 forbidden troops were horse troops.
In the angry scolding of Murong Yanzhao, the Hedong army quickly formed a military formation, with the horse rejection pile in front, the heavy shield knife and axe hand followed closely, and the shield was followed by spearmen and crossbowmen, which was the most ordinary defensive formation.
But in the array, there were box trucks one after another, which were connected from end to end, forming another line of defense.
Although Murong Yanzhao is not a fierce general, he is also thick and fine, while arranging the troops, he carefully observed the formation of the wolf cavalry, he knew that the palace tent army in the wolf cavalry, even if he was proud of the combat strength of the sergeants under his command, but if it was against the palace tent army, his heart could not help but feel a little weak.
Liu Feng was in front of the Fan Yang army, and he also closely observed all the changes on the battlefield!
