Chapter 216: Xiao Guan's Great Victory
Xue Yang, a native of Youzhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty, is a wealthy local businessman, so Xue Yang has received ample education since he was a child, so unlike ordinary martial arts generals, General Xue thinks that he plays with his brains, and he also considers himself a wise general on weekdays.
However, Ren is our General Xue, and no matter how resourceful and unpredictable he is, he would never have guessed that Yan Kui, as a dignified general of Xiao Pass, did not sit in the city, but quietly went out of the pass by himself and ran to the valley between the Zhou army camp and Xiao Pass to hide.
And if it's just Yan Kui alone, the most important thing is that Yan Kui has thousands of elite cavalry with him.
Such a whimsical, absurd and inexplicable thing.
Xue Yangfei is a boring scholar who writes a script, how could he think of such a situation, and naturally he will not be prepared.
So, when Yan Kui rushed from the rear of the Zhou army with 1,500 white-robed cavalry to Xue Yang's Chinese army, Xue Yang still couldn't believe all this in front of him.
He sat on his horse, his eyes stunned and looked at Yan Kui's subordinates who were wantonly rushing to kill the Zhou army who was caught off guard, and he was puzzled.
Isn't Yan Kui guarding the city in Xiao Pass?
How did he suddenly run behind him?
Moreover, there are thousands of cavalry in the rear of this damn army, what are the scouts doing to eat, and of course they didn't find anything wrong in the slightest?
………
Just when General Xue was still confused and angry here, Yan Kui was leading the white-robed cavalry to rush the formation of the Zhou army.
Last night, when Yan Kui was thinking about how to justifiably cover up the identity of the white-robed army, he suddenly thought that he thought about when the Western Zhou Dynasty attacked Beiling and Nanling in a big way.
Xiao Pass, as a barrier for Beiling's defense of Youzhou, was the key target of the Zhou army, and it was also one of the first passes to be lost.
At that time, there were tens of thousands of border troops stationed in Xiao Pass, and after being caught off guard by the Zhou army, most of these border troops were either killed or captured by the Zhou army, or fled back to the Northern Jin Dynasty to join the reinforcements to form the enemy.
But a small number of others, for various reasons, fled in place.
And not only the battle of Xiaoguan, but also the Northern Jin Dynasty was beaten so badly by the Western Zhou Dynasty before, the most elite 200,000 border troops were almost wiped out, and the Jin army was defeated and fled countless times.
Under this background, it is inevitable that some border soldiers will flee and hide during this period, and Yan Kui feels that the identity of the white-robed army can make a fuss here
First, the white-robed army is strong, far better than ordinary elites, and it is difficult to explain if you fool around as a recruit like the yellow turban elite soldiers.
In fact, it's not that it can't be explained, if Yan Kui wants to replenish the Qi Baipao Army in the future, he will still use this excuse, and he has to find the right time to use the excuse, it is okay for new recruits to become a strong army, but there must be a certain amount of time to buffer.
You can't directly take the mythical combat power displayed by the top elite in China for no reason, and then tell others that this is a young and strong explosive seed, the means are too rough, and others will definitely not believe it.
Therefore, in this case, it is easy to explain that the white-robed army pretended to be the border army that had fled before, the border army was the most elite unit in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and its combat strength was brave and would not attract suspicion.
And this can also explain very well why Yan Kui suddenly found an elite cavalry to raid the Zhou army, and someone asked afterwards, directly taking Hua Wenzheng and others as an example, saying that this border army was the remnant division that fled to the mountains of Youzhou after the defeat of the Jin army, and later heard that Yan Kui recaptured Xiao Pass, and quietly contacted him, Yan Kui formulated this raid plan according to local conditions.
The logic is self-consistent, and there is no need to be afraid of being questioned by others.
Because I also said that there were too many people in the rout of the Zhou army at that time, the situation was chaotic, and the generals of the border army were almost dead, and another year had passed, who could still find out the information of the soldiers and horses of each department.
There are still changes in the number of people, but it is not a big problem for thousands of people to fake.
……………
After figuring out how to hide his identity, Yan Kui was full of inspiration, and then thought of a way to break the enemy.
The 7,000 white-robed army fought for thousands of miles, attacking the city, and was the best at attacking fortifications, but it was also okay to fight sneak attacks.
If Yan Kui can suddenly lead more than 1,000 white-robed troops to raid the rear of the Zhou army when the Zhou army is attacking the city tomorrow, with the fierce combat effectiveness of the white-robed army, Yan Kui is confident that he will rush to Xue Yang's Chinese army when the Zhou army is attacking.
There is a way to capture the thief and capture the king first, if Xue Yang can be slaughtered, these tens of thousands of Zhou troops will have no master to sit in the town, but they are just some local chickens and dogs.
Thinking of this, Yan Kui began his own action, because the Zhou army's camp was not far from Xiao Pass, and the Zhou army had planted many scout outposts nearby, as long as the Jin army had a certain number of troops to move, it would definitely alarm the other party.
Therefore, Yan Kui did not recruit soldiers and horses in Xiaoguan, but after explaining to the deputy general, he went out of the city alone.
Just now, he announced that when he saw Yan Kui leading his troops to the rear, he was angry why the Zhou army scouts were so slack, in fact, he couldn't rely on other scouts at all, because Yan Kui didn't lead the troops at all, but went out of the city alone, and then found a corner, and then "changed into a living person".
No matter how tightly guarded the scouts of the Zhou army are, they will not even let go of a person's movements.
What's more, Yan Kui's skills are there, ordinary people can't touch his body at all, and Xiao Guan has such a large area, Yan Kui wants to avoid scouts, it's too simple.
So, in this way, Yan Kui came to the valley and dense forest, and recruited 1,500 white-robed cavalry at night.
That's right, the white-robed army has cavalry.
Because of the confusion of the infantry in the General's Mansion before, Yan Kui thought that the white-robed army were all infantry, but later learned about it from the mouth of the soldier.
The White-robed Army is a mixed branch of the armed forces, and they fight together on horseback.
The 7,000 white-robed army was divided into 3,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry, of which the 4,000 infantry were divided into 2,000 pikemen, 2,000 archers and 2,000 shield soldiers.
Of course, this is only a rough classification, Yan Kui asked carefully, these seven thousand white-robed troops are all first-class and compound talents, and the four arms of the bow contradictory cavalry can be arbitrarily served.
You pick one of the cavalry, and your archery skills are good, and you pick one of the archers, and you can charge and defend with a large shield.
The specific division of the military is just to refine the military formation tactics and facilitate the response to various war situations, so don't think that the 7,000 white-robed troops will kill thousands of cavalry and thousands of archers.
In fact, when they take up their bows, they are seven thousand archers, and when they mount their horses, they are seven thousand berserk horsemen.
What do you mean by the top elite?
This is the fucking top elite (tactical back)
…………
Because Yan Kui's tactic was to raid the rear of the Zhou army, and the polemic array was to attack and kill, the natural cavalry had the most advantage.
Therefore, the 1,500 white-robed troops recruited by Yan Kui this time were all cavalry, which was convenient for his raid plan.
As I said before, before Yan Kui left the city, he discussed with the deputy general, and the deputy general dragged down part of the main force of the Zhou army in Xiao Guan, and even Yan Kui approved that he could appropriately release water as appropriate, so as to attract the Zhou army to increase the attack, which in turn led to the emptiness of its rear.
However, what he didn't expect was that Yu Qiang inserted a lever horizontally, forcing Yan Kui to send troops to raid in advance, and at this time, the Zhou army had not yet put all the main forces in his hands into the siege.
Counting Xue Yang's Chinese army, there were at least more than 20,000 troops in the rear and two wings of the Zhou army.
Yan Kui led more than a thousand cavalry to charge into battle, although the offensive was very fierce, but under such a large gap, it still seemed a little unwise.
At least, that's how General Xue sees it at the moment.
At this time, after adjustment, Xue Yang had recovered from the shock and anger he felt when he first saw Yan Kui's "Divine Soldier Heavenly General".
Ignoring the dissuasion of the guards around, he looked at Yan Kui, who was constantly rushing towards him, drew the sword in his hand, personally sat in the Chinese army, and pointed at Yan Kui.
"Since this bureaucrat has come to send him to death, he will be fulfilled, left and right, give it to me, kill Yan Kui, and Xiao Guan will stand down."
Yes, Yan Kui is self-conscious and brave, and wants to lead the army to charge into battle, capture the thief and capture the king first, and coincidentally, Xue Yang also thinks so.
Moreover, General Xue felt that his chances were far greater than Yan Kui's, although the rear of the Zhou army had been disrupted by Yan Kui at this moment, but the Chinese army still had 5,000 soldiers to defend, and at most half an hour of effort, nearly 10,000 horses on both wings of the Chinese army would immediately converge and surround him.
No matter how brave Yan Kui is, can he break through the blockade of the 5,000 Chinese army in half an hour and kill him?
Joke.
The corners of Xue Yang's mouth were slightly hooked, looking at the figure who was constantly waving a mace, his eyes were cold.
"If you want to give up your life, let's leave your life here."
…………
"Kill, kill, kill."
Yan Kui roared angrily, waved his mace left and right, and smashed all the Zhou troops in front of him, but in his hideous and murderous face, a pair of tiger eyes were exceptionally clear.
When he saw that Xue Yang, who was sitting in the Chinese army, was still moving, and the guards around him kept waving the command flag to direct the Zhou army of all departments to kill him continuously, he was not surprised and rejoiced.
He was not afraid that the Zhou army would come to besiege and kill, but he was afraid that Xue Yang would run away directly when he saw that the situation was wrong.
Ordinary Zhou soldiers, no matter how much they killed, they only frustrated their morale, and they couldn't hurt the bones of their army, if they wanted to really win this battle and relieve the siege of Xiaoguan, Xue Yang, the main general, was the key.
Thinking of this, Yan Kui's weapon in his hand did not stop, but there was an extra whistle the thickness of half a piece of chalk in his mouth.
Shout~
Shout~~
Shout~~~
A few sharp and piercing whistles immediately spread throughout the battlefield around Yan Kui.
Immediately afterwards, the Zhou army found that this Jin cavalry suddenly changed, and then the impact was stronger, and in just a few hundred breaths, the white-robed cavalry broke through the two defense lines of the Zhou army's central army, and rushed towards the direction of Xue Yang with an unstoppable momentum.
"Impossible?"
Xue Yang had been watching the battlefield situation here, and saw that Yan Kui and the white-robed cavalry broke through his two ...... so easily No, it's Sandaofang County now, and I'm so scared that the horsewhip in my hand fell to the ground.
He stared at those white-robed cavalrymen deadly, and saw that their thousands of people were in a charging formation, tacitly and efficiently cooperating to cross and divide their own formations, and their skilled and brave personal martial arts, his face was full of disbelief.
"How can there be such a strong army in the world?"
General Xue is not a hillbilly who has never seen the world, he has been in the army for many years, and he has dealt with many elites.
The Northern Zhou Forbidden Army, Ji Linbing's White Feather Flying Cavalry, and a secret army under his boss, Qin Botao, the right general, Xue Yang personally tried their quality, and then admired them, often fantasizing about such an elite under his command, how he would gallop across the field and dominate the world.
However, today, when Xue Yang saw the unparalleled demeanor of the white-robed army led by Yan Kui, he immediately forgot about those elites of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
What kind of white feather flying horse, Xue Yang really wanted to drag Ji Linbing to him, let him look at the white robe army, and then ask the other party what he thought.
The first elite of the Western Zhou Dynasty?
Bah!
…………
Just when Xue Yang despised Bai Yu Feiqi, he suddenly felt a shaking of his body, and when he came back to his senses, it turned out that it was the guard beside him who was shouting at him to retreat with an anxious face.
Yan Hui was already close to the front, and he was only a thousand steps away from his location at most.
Hearing this, Xue Yang was startled, looked back, and sure enough, Yan Kui was leading people to rush here with a murderous spirit, although there were still many Zhou troops desperately blocking it, but looking at its collapsed and scattered formation, I am afraid it would not last long.
Seeing this, where did Xue Yang dare to delay, don't care where the white-robed army came from, it is important to protect his life first.
"Cover left and right, and the pro-guard will retreat to the right flank with Ben."
Xue Yang hurriedly gave an order, then turned his horse's head, and retreated to the right in a bit of embarrassment under the escort of his personal guards.
When he ran, he immediately alarmed the white-robed army who had been staring at Xue Yang, and someone was the first to find out and immediately shouted to inform Yan Kui.
"General, Xue Yang ran away."
Yan Kui hadn't seen Xue Yang's movements at this time, and as soon as he heard this, he was anxious and yelled.
"Kill me, don't care about these miscellaneous fish, you must catch up with Xue Yang's guy, live and die, and shoot him with arrows when you have the opportunity."
"Yes."
Hearing Xue Yang's order, the white-robed army took action one after another, and some of them took the initiative to take charge of the Zhou army's blocking and entanglement, and gave up a group of men and horses to quickly pursue Xue Yang.
At the same time, Yan Kui led people to cut Xue Yang's handsome banner, shouting everywhere that Xue Yang was defeated, and the Zhou army, which was already mixed with the panicked Chinese army and the rear, directly became a pot of porridge, and even the left and right wings that were about to be encircled were at a loss.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Kui and others killed the entangled Zhou army, followed Xue Yang, who fled, and prepared to behead.
But it's a pity that Xue Yang ran too fast, and the right-wing Zhou army came to respond in time, resulting in the white-robed army not taking Xue Yang.
But let's talk about it. The consolation is that because of Yan Kui's order, when the white-robed army finally found that they could not take Xue Yang, they took out their bows and shot arrows in time, although they did not shoot Xue Yang directly, but someone saw that Xue Yang was hit by an arrow.
Afterwards, Zhou's rapid withdrawal back to the camp also proved this, and Xue Yang was probably indeed wounded by an arrow.
Yan Kui, who learned of this, was overjoyed, and that night, with 1,500 white-robed troops as the backbone, plus more than 1,000 Jin cavalry, he raided the Zhou camp at night.
At this moment, the Zhou army was injured by Xue Yang, the dragons were leaderless, and the entire camp was panicked, and without defense, they were almost stewed by Yan Kui.
In the battle, Yan Kui first sent people to shoot rockets to burn the Zhou army camp, and when the Zhou army camp was fighting the fire, he took the opportunity to attack the camp and kill several people, killing thousands of enemies, causing the Zhou army to trample on each other and flee and burn countless people.
The Zhou army was defeated and could no longer continue to attack Xiaoguan, so he hurriedly withdrew the army the next day after the night attack, and Yan Kui's credit book was added to the book............
