Chapter 819 - A two-front war

The 150,000 troops of Dashu were divided into two routes, one was led by Emperor Xuande to intercept the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Great Wei at Hulukou, and the other was led by Guan Yunchang, stepping up the defense and preparing to deal with the attack of Dian Wei at any time.

At this moment, there are less than three days left before the date agreed with Yu Han.

Emperor Xuande hesitated for a moment, but finally sent someone to deliver the order.

It's just that when the herald passed, he found that the Six Banners Army had already gone to the empty building.

And it was a real person who went to the empty building, and the formation arranged inside also disappeared, and in the barracks, there was only a secret letter left, which read, "Your Majesty personally opened!"

The herald did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly delivered the letter to the Emperor Xuande, who was about to march out of the army.

After Emperor Xuande read it, he just smiled slightly, then destroyed the letter, and rode his horse in the direction of Hulukou.

Guan Yunchang looked at their departing backs and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The last time Great Wei and Great Wu attacked together, Zhao Zilong, who ended in the northern battlefield, killed LĂź Fengxian, and Yu Hansheng in the southern battlefield captured the opponent's main general, Sun Shangxiang.

Now that Sun Shangxiang has been released and returned, he just didn't expect that Sun Zhongmou of Great Wu would tear up the agreement between the two sides and attack again, and this time, the two great divine kingdoms seem to be determined to divide the territory of Dashu, so there is no room left at all.

Almost all the troops that could be used were involved.

Therefore, in this battle, Dashu's troops are inevitably dwarfed, and the disparity in strength is difficult in comparison.

Although there is no news from the southern battlefield, it is expected that the situation is not much stronger than here.

He sighed heavily, His Majesty almost 50,000 infantry against the opponent's 100,000 iron cavalry, even with the help of the terrain of Hulukou, it is definitely a life and death.

He had the intention to go to Hulukou instead of His Majesty, but Emperor Xuande seemed to be very insistent and had to give up.

Guan Yunchang's eyes narrowed slightly, all he could do at this moment was to defend the belly river and use this natural barrier to block the 400,000 Wei troops here.

However, this battle is also not easy to fight.

As long as one of them and Emperor Xuande is broken through, they will be completely surrounded, and they will not be spared in the slightest.

Crushing 150,000 troops with 500,000 troops, this kind of disparity in comparison really makes people feel no confidence in their hearts.

Especially that Yu Han, who actually left at this juncture, and didn't know where to go, which was even more annoying.

Thinking of this, Guan Yunchang shook his head, for the sake of today's plan, he could only stick to it.

With a wave of his hand, he said to the general beside him: "Order the whole army to be ready to fight at any time!"

In a remote place outside the Shu army camp, all the Five Elements Flags gathered.

Yu Han stood between everyone, his eyes were cold: "The 100,000 iron cavalry of the Wei army is the fuse of this battle, and the big battle is about to break out, although there are still three days before the time we agreed!"

"But the other party, obviously, will not give us three more days!"

"But with or without these three days, the impact is not big!"

He took a deep breath: "Jin Xingqi and Tu Xingqi will go to Hulukou with me to intercept and kill the other party's 100,000 cavalry, and the other three banners will immediately set up an ambush ten miles north of the Belly River, where there is likely to be a Wei army's team bypassing!"

"We don't have an advantage in numbers, we have arranged an ambush in advance, retreated layer by layer, we can't be defeated, and if necessary, we will cover the retreat with the fire flag!"

The three banner masters were ordered to go forward at the same time, and Yu Han took the other two thousand warriors and flew towards the mouth of the gourd.

Hulukou, as the name suggests, this mountain col is between two mountains, the passage is only less than ten meters wide, it seems to be spacious, but compared to the 100,000 Wei army iron horsemen, it is still not enough.

This is also the main reason why Emperor Xuande wants to intercept the Wei army here!

Yu Han led the two banner warriors to urge the Fengshen Array, and the speed was extremely fast, even several times faster than the rapid march of Emperor Xuande.

Standing in the center of the gourd mouth, Yu Han glanced around at the surrounding terrain.

The entire length of the gourd mouth is nearly 100 meters, which is considered a volume, and it is estimated that it can accommodate at least fifty or sixty thousand cavalry passing through at the same time.

Xu Fei immediately waved his hand and led the Jinxing Banner soldiers to immediately divide into two teams and gallop towards the peaks on both sides.

Yu Han first looked at Yu Fei: "Yu Fei, you take the territorial flag warriors to sneak into the rear, hide underground, once the opponent's large army passes through the gourd, I will stop them and cut them off!"

Yu Fei nodded.

Yu Han looked at Xu Fei again, and found that his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he wanted to stop talking, and immediately asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Xu Fei said: "This place can accommodate a maximum of fifty or sixty thousand cavalry, that is to say, even if they are all allowed to come, at least nearly half of the cavalry will not enter here, although Yu Fei and their single strength is outstanding, but under the trampling of the iron cavalry, it is also much worse!"

"Although they have lost the distance to charge, the 100,000 iron cavalry is not trivial, and I am afraid that the Tuxing Banner alone will not be enough to completely cut them off, or it will not last long!"

Yu Han smiled slightly: "So it's up to you next!"

"Jin Xingqi, immediately climb the mountain to prepare the boulder, the other party will arrive in two hours, and there are five hundred people on each side of the peak, ready to listen to my orders at any time!"

He continued: "After all the big stones are pushed down, the two teams of men and horses immediately assemble to meet Yu Fei, with your Jinxing Banner and Tuxing Banner one bright and one dark, no matter how powerful the other party's cavalry is, they will not want to break this blockade!"

"Chop the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again, so that even if you can kill the opponent's 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, in the end, there will still be 40,000 cavalry who will escape!"

"They are still a potential danger!"

Xu Fei was still a little worried.

Yu Han waved his hand: "Don't worry, you won't let them escape so many people!"

He pointed to the endless field behind the mouth of the gourd: "They thought that field was the paradise of the cavalry, but unfortunately there was also the elaborate feast I prepared for them!"

Xu Fei knew his strategy, and seeing that he was so thoughtful, he immediately didn't say anything more, and immediately led the five hundred gold banner soldiers towards the mountain peak on the right.

The other five hundred people were personally led by Yu Han and set foot on the mountain peak on the left.

Although the number of the Six Banners Army is small, it fights tactics and means, and the sword goes sideways, not really for the indiscriminate fight between the two armies.

This arrangement, even though Emperor Xuande had too many chances of winning, Yu Han still had some worries in his heart that he hadn't explained to Xu Fei.

The Yi Tianjun has been completely destroyed, but the Great Wei still has two independent armies.

One is called the Yitian Army, ranking second, and it is said that all of them are masters, and when it comes to individual strength, it even surpasses the Praetorian Guards who are now only nine thousand left next to Emperor Xuande.

But the first-ranked Heaven Destroying Army is extremely mysterious, because until now, there is no record of this army's shots, so no one knows how effective this army is.

The unknown danger is the most terrifying, so together with Yu Han, who has enough confidence in the Six Banners Army, he is also very worried.

Two hours have passed quickly, and on the field outside the mouth of the gourd, the mighty Great Wei cavalry has gradually approached.

Yu Han, who was on the peaks on both sides, narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the black and oppressive cavalry, and clenched his fists slightly.

At the same time, the 50,000 army led by Emperor Xuande finally arrived at Hulukou at this moment, and of course, he also saw the army rolling on the opposite side.

"Your Majesty, most of us are infantry, we should set up a barrier in the center of the gourd mouth to intercept the charge of the opposing cavalry, and then use this as a base to block the Wei army!" said a military advisor slightly.

I have to say that this arrangement is really the most perfect arrangement in the resistance battle, but Emperor Xuande shook his head.

"Although this move can intercept the other party, they may abandon this road and break through from the mountain roads on both sides, and when the time comes, we will be attacked by the enemy on our backs, and I am afraid that we will not be able to support it for long!"

The military advisor also sighed secretly when he heard this, but if it wasn't like this, what else could he do?

Emperor Xuande pointed to a distance of nearly 100 meters or so around the periphery of the gourd's mouth.

"Immediately let the soldiers cut down wood and move stones, and use this place as a boundary to build a barrier for me to resist the cavalry!"

He looked at the open space in front of him with a radius of 100 meters.

"Here, this is their place of death, let these cavalry come, and then we kill little by little, the dead cavalry is also a natural barrier, and their army will definitely rush out to save them!"

"When the time comes, all of them will flock here, and they will only die more and more!"

Emperor Xuande spent his early life as a horseman, and worked with Zhuge Kongming and Zhao Zilong to formulate tactics, so his understanding of tactics was also very profound.

Hearing his arrangement, the soldiers immediately seized the time to build a defense, and the military advisor and several generals nodded secretly.

I have to say that His Majesty's arrangement this time is really much more clever than the previous military division's arrangement.

With the approach of 100,000 Great Wei Iron Cavalry, the half-human high defense improvised by giant trees and boulders finally took shape.

On the other side, the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Wei army also stopped, led by the general.

It was Xiahou Yuan, who was known as the first person outside the Ten Xuan.

With a wave of his hand, he stopped his own soldiers' advance.

Looking at the semicircular barrier blocking the way ahead, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"They are not slow to come, but, I originally thought that they were going to set up ambushes on both sides, but I didn't expect that they had to stop my army in such a crude way!"

Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "What's the news on the scout team's side?"

"A general came over and handed him a silk silk!"

After Xiahou Yuan saw it, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger: "These student soldiers are really powerful as scouts, I'm afraid that any scout team of the Three Great Divine Kingdoms can't match it!"

"The road they waded through was naturally safe!"

Xiahou Yuan raised his horsewhip high: "The student scout team has reached behind the enemy, once the war starts, it will definitely completely disrupt the camp of the Shu army, he thought that we would pass slowly, so he made such a barrier!"

"It's a pity, I really didn't want to waste time with them!"

"So, let's charge!"

A torrent of 100,000 iron hooves, with an unstoppable momentum, swarmed out towards the mouth of the gourd!
