Chapter 685: Go all out
In a few days, Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin were elusive, and they were really desperate as opponents.
The way of this sneak attack of the vanguard is very simple, their rations are compressed biscuits, and they don't need to make a fire to cook, and if they don't make a fire, they can't find their whereabouts at all.
Each of them carries a water bladder of boiled water, and they are able to control the amount of water they drink when they exercise, which saves a lot of time.
If the enemy pursues it, it is the middle set, if it is not pursued and the cold arrow is caused by a large number of casualties, it can be said that the Youzhou soldiers have a new nickname called ghost soldiers in the past few days.
Two days ago, the vanguard in charge of sniping led the soldiers and horses to launch an all-out attack and directly dispersed the soldiers and horses who lacked food.
Completed the blockade of 100,000 soldiers and horses.
On the other side, the negotiations of the Northwest Army went very smoothly, but the result was very bad.
"It seems that this time the backer king is serious, he can't be consumed like this, if he can't talk about it, then start a war."
"Let's go now." Li Dedao.
In order to cope with this battle, the vanguard has long been prepared, and the soldiers and horses can be deployed at any time.
Li De definitely personally led the troops to the battle, and the twelve Taibao under the king of the backer were not idle people, and they must be paid attention to.
Luo Song, Situ En, Xiong Kuohai, Pei brothers and others brought many people, and 50,000 vanguard soldiers set off immediately.
The convoy of supplies prepared in the back followed.
The scout kept an eye on it, and soon joined up with Li De and the others.
"Governor, the Northwest soldiers are hurrying fast, they are resting at this time, according to the habit of marching every day, they will be on the road again in half an hour."
The scouts of the vanguard were very professional, and they even recorded very clearly what time the other party rested.
"Send someone to deliver the letter again." Li De said to the scout.
The scout discovered the other party's location and did not act directly, but tried again.
So soon a scout went to deliver the letter as instructed, and this time there was a real reply.
Li De had already determined that he was really going to fight this time, so he would not be polite, so he asked Situ En to prepare with the equipment such as the spray train.
In Jean Rosong led the cavalry to attack the camp directly.
The battle began so suddenly.
There was no battlefield drumbeat, no war horn, and there were suddenly dense arrows in the sky.
Whizzing, the hurried arrows hit many cavalrymen.
"Enemy attack!"
"Hold the shield."
The Northwest Army was highly disciplined, and the battlefield response was very fast.
The cavalry in front were all elite, and when they were in danger, they all had small shields, and they were all using their posture to protect vital parts.
More people are sideways and on horseback to reduce the chance of hitting.
"Archer prepare!"
In this case, the soldiers and horses are all in danger, obeying the command all the time, Li De is watching from a distance, and it is really not easy to routinely prohibit them to deal with them.
"Release the signal, attack!"
Li De commanded the operation remotely, and the return letter was a little slower, but it did not affect the effect.
Luo Yi's Yanyun cavalry dispatched directly to the front, this army can be regarded as the ace cavalry of Youzhou, coming and going like the wind, and the combat effectiveness is very strong.
As soon as they looked at each other, the generals of the Northwest Army felt a lot of pressure, and the support of the opponent's archers was too fast.
They didn't know that it was all the work of the crossbow chariots.
The leader of the Northwest Army, the king of the mountain, is in the middle position, the front is led by the vanguard general, and the leader of the team for a few days is the big Tai Paul Fang.
He was quick to react after the attack, leading the scout team to move quickly to find the target of the attack.
How could the Yanyun cavalry make it so easy for them to discover the chariot, just using a small number of cavalry to use it as bait.
It's a pity that the Northwest soldiers were not fooled at all, and Li De also had a headache when he saw it, and in the face of such a strong enemy, he might really need to go head-on.
Then Li De led 50,000 soldiers and horses to block the way of these people.
Li De was dressed in a powerful and domineering armor and blocked the intersection to greet him.
The backer king is very powerful, and the veteran who points out the country is to make people feel not angry and self-assured.
Both sides kept a certain distance, and the purpose of such an arrangement in the middle of the negotiations was simple: to ensure that those behind both sides were ready to charge at any time.
Cavalry charges need to be borrowed.
"Lord Wang, we are all our own families, do we really want to invade Youzhou?" Li De saw the king of the backer and said straight to the point.
The backer king has a serious face, and this expression is difficult to speak at a glance.
Li De stepped forward and approached the middle position, and the backer king was about to hit the horse and was stopped by several Taibao and worried: "Lord Wang, be careful!" ”
"What scene this king hasn't seen, get out of the way!"
The king of the backer came over alone, and the two communicated directly in person, and Li De felt that it was much better now, and there was no need to shout.
"Yu'er is good?" The backer king asked.
"The family is happy, if the prince is not here to attack Youzhou." Li Dedao.
"The will of God, the king must obey." The backer is kingly.
"I can understand, I heard that His Majesty is going to use 600,000 soldiers and horses to pacify Youzhou, and now 100,000 soldiers and horses have been scattered by the Youzhou cavalry, I can understand but I will not be soft on the enemy."
"No need to keep your hands on." The backer king said decisively.
"I won't keep my hand, Yu'er will be safe and sound in Youzhou, this is my promise." Li Dedao.
"Don't let me down."
The backer king's eyes flashed coldly, and from this moment on, the two already knew that the next would be the enemy.
Li De beat the horse and left, the current situation is like this, even if the two sides have some relationship, but the situation is stronger than people, he doesn't want to do this, but he will definitely respect the choice of his elders.
Even if he doesn't agree.
"Xiongkuohai, Pei family brothers, the next thing for Yuanba will depend on you, launch an attack."
The 50,000 soldiers and horses did not have a battle formation, only tactical coordination, because they were all cavalry and launched a general attack in three directions.
The vanguard marched as soon as the order was given, the heavily armored cavalry swept through the formation, and the soldiers attacked.
The king of the backer admired Li De's decisiveness in killing, and when the big Taibao saw this situation, he immediately asked the shield soldiers to be responsible for defense in the front row.
Their cavalry also attacked from both sides.
The strongest defense is to attack, and the cavalry must play the role of cavalry, and the number of soldiers and horses in the northwest is very large, and all the soldiers and horses fighting are in the front row.
Don't look at the 300,000 people, the most that can be dispatched now is no more than 100,000, and not all of these 100,000 can be dispatched.
In the end, no more than 30,000 people participated in the battle.
It's not that the kings are reluctant to commit soldiers, but that they are in a hurry and are not ready to start a full-scale war.
For the experienced Northwest soldiers, the first offensive test is more important than really trying to do your best.
Li De swept the formation behind, and the reason why the heavy armored cavalry was not sent out was that he wanted to ensure that the soldiers and horses could retreat at any time.
Temptation or something doesn't exist, all he has to do is give it his all.
