Chapter 663: The Overall Situation is Stable! Pursue Meng Yi!
Huo Qubing led the cavalry and had been waiting for Meng Yi's soldiers and horses for a long time.
The reason why I waited was because Huo Quzhi looked at the surrounding terrain, which was flat, suitable for cavalry combat, and could give full play to mobility.
At this time, when the time came, Huo Qubing led the cavalry and began to charge!
Meng Yi, who got the news, asked Meng Fang to make meritorious service and lead the cavalry to counterattack, and he could not let the other party limit the speed of the march, and he must rush to the North Hub Pass as soon as possible.
Meng Fang was eager for revenge, and immediately led 10,000 cavalry to send troops and killed Huo Quai.
I saw that on the flat terrain, two cavalry teams, one east and one west, were like two pythons, raising smoke and dust on the ground, and thousands of horses galloped towards each other.
This battle seems to be tough!
It's just that when the two sides were about to meet and collide, Huo Quzhi's cavalry team suddenly split, split from the middle, and moved to both sides, Meng Fang didn't expect the other party to play this game, and he didn't dare to play a conspiracy, but at this time he had already led the cavalry to rush over, as if his edge split Huo Quai's cavalry into two parts.
At the same time, Huo Quzhi's cavalry, which had been divided into two parts, bypassed Mengfang's soldiers and horses, directly made a big circle, then turned around and turned around, and then killed the Qin army, with only the simplest change, from a frontal attack to an attack from behind.
Meng Fang was surprised, he was originally a pioneer, but now he had become the queen of the palace, he immediately turned around and led the cavalry to deal with Huo Qu's illness.
Who knew that at this moment, the speed of Huo Quai's cavalry increased suddenly, and the cavalry at the front was a reckless team formed by Han Xin himself, proficient in cavalry and archery.
In an instant, the Qin cavalry suffered heavy losses.
At the same time, while the reckless team was designing, the cavalry of the white-robed battalion was faster, and they stepped forward from both wings, taking advantage of the crossbow arrows to shoot at the same time, and quickly bit the cavalry team of the Qin State.
He was followed by Huo Quai's other cavalry.
Huo Qubing is one of the originators of the blitzkrieg, making good use of roundabout depth, interspersed with encirclement and other methods, and playing fast, so although Meng Fang also led the cavalry, they were all cavalry, but the gap was very large.
If you can stand in the air and watch with God's vision, you will find that the cavalry was originally a big cake, and it looked like an unbreakable whole.
Meng Fang wanted to counterattack, but he could only lead part of the cavalry to fight, and the other cavalry could not form an effective closing momentum at all.
On the other hand, under the wave of the military flag, the cavalry changed rapidly, from attack to retreat, from encirclement to intersperse, as if the entire cavalry regiment was under the control of Huo Quai, turning the enemy army into a plate of scattered sand.
This is the real cavalry battle!
On the other hand, Mengfang has completely lost its grasp of the overall situation!
Meng Yi had already lined up the army, and at the same time he slapped his horse forward. When he saw the battle between the cavalry of the two sides from a distance, although he did not have God's vision, he could see the disadvantage of his soldiers and horses at a glance after fighting in the south and north for so many years.
"Is it Han Shin who is leading the troops?" Meng Yi was shocked, knowing that Meng Fang would be defeated, and would be defeated, he immediately ordered someone to blow the horn of attack, and the army behind him began to rush forward to support Meng Fang.
Huo Quzhi heard the horn, looked at the large number of Qin troops coming from in the distance, he waved the battle flag again, and the cavalry instantly no longer entangled the Qin cavalry, but converged, turned into a spear, and rushed towards Meng Yi's army.
"Chase!" Furious, seeing that his side had suffered countless casualties and was being played like this, he immediately led his troops in pursuit.
Meng Yi saw the killed Huo Qubing cavalry, he immediately took the drum as the signal, the infantry lined up, and set up a circular formation, once Huo Quai's cavalry fell into this formation, they would be trapped in the formation, this array had nine gates, only one door, and it was hidden, and it was not easy to find at all.
This is one of the formations that Meng Yi is best at, with shieldmen, gunners, and sword and axe hands, as long as Huo Quai's cavalry enters, it will be difficult to escape.
Huo Qubing naturally saw the strength of this formation, he naturally would not break through, this time he came to attack Meng Yi, and brought a total of 12,000 people, but at this time, Huo Qubing only had 7,000 cavalry behind him! The five thousand cavalry had already circled to the rear of Meng Yi's army and waited quietly.
So Huo Quzhi's attack was just to attract firepower, and when Meng Yi arranged his troops, the cavalry in the rear launched an attack!
Directly annihilating the rear of the Qin army is like a poisonous snake biting its prey.
As for Huo Quai, when he was about to kill Meng Yi's formation, he immediately made a detour, relying on his strong mobility, and did not accept Meng Yi's move at all.
Meng Yi had already retreated into the army, and when he saw that the rear was attacked, he understood the conspiracy of the other party, and at the same time, thinking of the terrain of this place, Meng Yi understood that this was a conspiracy that the other party had designed a long time ago.
However, Meng Yi is not Meng Fang, he immediately shrunk the rear formation, and at the same time ordered the rear army to counterattack, although the Xia cavalry succeeded in the sneak attack, but after all, there are few people, as long as the formation is contracted and the counterattack begins, the opponent will flee.
Sure enough, the cavalry of the Xia State accepted it when they saw it, and after annihilating thousands of Qin troops, they immediately retreated and went to join Huo Quai.
Meng was so angry that he wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Meng Yi with the sound of Mingjin.
"The enemy chose to use the mobility of the cavalry to harass us in order to contain the speed of our army, so don't fall in love with the battle, shrink the formation, and continue to march! As long as you put on a defensive formation and continue to set off, the other party will not dare to fight! Meng Yi commanded.
Meng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, General!" ”
Meng Yi asked, "Who is the one leading the troops?" ”
Meng Fang shook his head and said, "I don't know the lowly position, I only know that he is a young man who has not reached the weak crown, and he is very cunning. ”
"It's not Han Shin! Xia Guo is really full of talents. Meng Yi sighed.
It is said that after Huo Qubing fled, the cavalry reunited, and seeing that the Qin army did not chase after him, Huo Qubing knew that Meng Yi had insight into his plan.
But it doesn't matter, they are like hungry wolves, biting each other tightly, so that they can contain each other's speed, this is their task!
"Take a break for a while, wait for the sun to fade, and when the other party rests and eats, they will continue to entangle!"
Huo Quzhi immediately gave an order.
In the next few days, the cavalry led by Huo Qubing was like a hungry wolf, biting Meng Yi's soldiers and horses tightly, the enemy advanced and I retreated, the enemy stationed in me to disturb, the enemy was tired and I fought, and the enemy retreated and I chased, Huo Qubing had never seen Xiao Rui, and naturally he had never heard of guerrilla tactics, but he had already used these sixteen true tricks very handy.
Even if Meng Yi knew Huo Quai's intentions and contracted the formation, he was also given a headache, and the speed of the army's march was greatly reduced, he originally planned to kill the North Pivot Pass in four days, but now it takes six or seven days!
was so angry that Meng Yi didn't have a good temper, and now he wants to understand who the other party's generals are, and why they are so cheap.
Seven days later, Meng Yi's army was only a hundred miles away from the North Pivot Pass.
Huo Qubing was not entangled, and finally let go of the Qin army and returned to Beishu Pass in advance to return to the situation.
Don't underestimate Huo Quai, they have been entangled with the Qin army these days, killing a total of more than 30,000 enemies, although it is not a lot, but you must know that this is a little bit of meat bitten off from the nearly 400,000 army, if you give Huo Qubing 50,000 cavalry, and then hand over the heavy armored cavalry iron dragon cavalry to him, he will completely dare to harden the army of Meng Yi.
Huo Quzhi returned to Beishuguan to meet Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi, and the two highly praised Huo Quzhi's efforts and successfully delayed the Qin army. Now that the follow-up reinforcements of Great Xia have entered the southern part of Tonglu County, as long as Meng Yi's army is dragged for a while, the reinforcements will come, it will be Meng Yi's nightmare, and the follow-up will be 200,000 troops!
Next.
Meng Yi's soldiers and horses pressed twenty miles away from the North Pivot Pass, and after rectifying the whole army, Meng Yi ordered a strong attack!
In an instant, more than 300,000 troops began to press up, densely packed, all of them were people.
Han Xin, as the commander, arranged 50,000 soldiers on the Beishu Pass, which was the last barrier to defend the Beishu Pass, because outside the Beishu Pass, there were still Qin troops to kill, and it seemed that they were preparing to attack inside and outside.
Fortunately, Han Xin had ordered someone to block the city gate with a boulder to prevent the Qin army from breaking through the city gate. And the soldiers on the city pass need to counterattack the Qin army outside the pass.
The remaining troops were forced to harden the Qin army in front of the city pass.
And Huo Qubing led the cavalry to play freely on the battlefield.
In order to deal with Meng Yi's soldiers and horses, Han Xin took advantage of Huo Quai's delay for him, and made preparations in front of the Beishu Pass, trapping pits, fire bull arrays, gunpowder, fire attacks... did everything he could to hold back Meng Yi's attack.
On the first and second days, relying on excavated pits and gunpowder, the speed of the Qin army's attack was limited.
On the third day, a fire attack was adopted, which stopped the pace of the Qin army.
On the fourth day, Huo Qubing attacked the enemy camp and caused trouble to Meng Yi, and rampage with the fire bull formation, playing a wave of active attack.
From the fifth day onwards, the prepared routines are exhausted and the head-on hardening begins.
Meng Yi was outnumbered, approaching the central pass step by step, Han Xin led the soldiers to defend to the death, and relied on the terrain of the central pass to counterattack.
By the seventh day of the battle, the Great Xia side had lost more than 40,000 troops, and the Qin army had suffered more losses, reaching more than 80,000 troops.
Han Xin had no choice but to retreat to the central pass, relying on the dangers of the central pass to continue the battle.
On the eighth day, the reinforcements of Great Xia finally arrived.
Now the counteroffensive begins!
I have not been able to take the North Pivot Pass, for too long, the news of the arrival of the Great Xia reinforcements has become more and more intensive, and the military spirit of the Mengjia army has been dissipated.
Meng Yi had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat and think about it in the long run.
Han Xin had defended for so long, and he had long been suffocated, so he immediately led the crowd to pursue, and the Mengjia army had already broken and fled, and was pursued by the soldiers and horses of Great Xia for dozens of miles, annihilating and capturing a large number of Qin troops, and he was willing to give up.
However, Han Xin would not let the tiger return to the mountain, he did not continue the pursuit, but let Huo Qubing lead the cavalry to pursue, and the task assigned to him was very simple, take Meng Yi! To live to see people, to die to see corpses!
This is a great merit, Huo Qubing immediately led the troops to chase after him.
Meng Yi I was famous, but now he has become a lost dog.
And with the arrival of the reinforcements of Great Xia, the three passes of Qinling completely fell into the hands of Great Xia, and the sixteen counties of Dongqi were like lambs, which were placed in front of Great Xia with great honesty.
After the news spread all over the world, the people of the world were in an uproar.
