Final Chapter. Beacon Scroll Sky 268.The gas is exhausted
Since Guo Xing brought 50,000 Mobei slave soldiers, the battlefield space suddenly became crowded, which greatly increased the difficulty of pursuing Ding Shuo.
Guo Xing clearly knew that it was absolutely a fantasy to want to annihilate all the defenders of Qingshan City; Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to quickly loot military rations and supplies. In addition, there are melee everywhere around, although Ding Shuo is the main general of the first army, his life and death can have little impact on the battle situation.
The role of the chief general is like a conning tower; Now that everyone is fighting each other, they don't care about the art of war, and the command tower has lost all its value.
On one side are the soldiers and civilians of Youbei who have the idea of fighting to the death, on the other side are the slave army who have just been sent to the battlefield and are in excellent physical and mental condition, plus the Huashen Sect who has just returned to their souls, and the war situation has also rapidly developed to a white-hot stage. With the passage of life, the blood splattered, and the eastern sky gradually became a layer of fish belly white......
Hohoo...... Hohoo...... Whew
Everyone was panting rapidly, and their chests were like bellows being pumped wildly, panting faster and faster. At this point in the war, no one was willing to shout any empty slogans that inspired people and boosted morale; All the strength is used to wield the blade in the hand; It doesn't matter if you can kill the enemy or not. Because in the primitive and savage fighting environment, the moment you stop the attack, it is equivalent to exposing your exhausted weakness to all the enemies who are eyeing you.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Guo Xing and his twenty personal guards quickly captured a slope. He wanted to take advantage of the warm sun that was about to rise and have an excellent perspective from a condescending perspective to overlook the battlefield situation of the two armies, and make a troop deployment that was in line with the matter, so as to firmly grasp the initiative back into his own hands; However, just as he was standing on the low slope, there was a slight tremor under his feet. Guo Xing looked up and saw that Hulegen, who had been ordered to enter the city to rob the grain, was taking his 8,000 light cavalry brothers around the outer edge of the melee center; And on his ponytail, a white coarse cloth is tied to it, which is very dazzling
According to the agreement between the two in advance, the meaning of the horse's tail hanging white is that the grain robbery operation has completely failed!
It is the so-called lost mulberry elm and harvested east; Just when Guo Xing was thinking about the reasons for Hu Legen's failure, the stragglers who gathered around Ding Shuo and He Wendao also happened to take a fancy to this low slope with an excellent view......
As the so-called enemies meet, they are extraordinarily red; Guo Xing, who was thinking about the problem of grain storage in Qingshan City, happened to be facing Ding Shuo, who was rushing from a distance! The eyes of the two crossed half of the chaotic battlefield, stirring up a spark of hatred. Subsequently, Ding Shuo turned his head and ran, and Guo Xing chased after him......
It's a pity that the battlefield is extremely crowded, Guo Xingcai rode his horse down the low slope, and Ding Shuo was no longer visible in his eyes; He had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and with twenty personal guards, he retreated to the edge of the battlefield.
At the same time, after a night of slow marching, Fang Junping and his two thousand heavily armored cavalry had already arrived thirty miles away from the battlefield of Hedong City.
"Report ......!!! Returning to General Fang, although the road ahead is narrow and deep, and the dense forests on both sides are layered; But I only explored the way below, but found that the birds and insects in midsummer were constantly singing! According to the experience of his subordinates, there should be no enemy troops in the dense forest in the mezzanine. When we crossed the narrow road, there was another open plain ahead. According to the information provided by the villagers before, we are less than fifty miles away from Qingshan City! ”
After listening to the detailed report of the Tanma, Fang Junping considered it for a while, and then turned around and waved his hand to the two thousand brothers:
"The whole army quickly passed through the dense forest road, and then hung guns and swords, tied pack horses, and men and horses put on battle armor, and rushed straight to the bottom of Qingshan City!"
This unnamed heavy cavalry showed extremely good combat qualities; Not only in a short time, it passed through this steep dense forest road in an orderly manner; Within a quarter of an hour of the passage, he was ready for battle.
"Brethren, I won't say much nonsense; Today is a great opportunity for me to think about it day and night. In this battle, we must fight the momentum of destroying the ancient and sweeping away thousands of armies; It is necessary to be worthy of the war horse under the crotch, the iron-armored long knife on the body, and the wives and children at home, and the villagers and fathers who died tragically under the enemy's butcher's knife! Brethren, take up your spears and mount your horses, and go with me into battle to slay the enemy; Defend the country and make contributions, just now! ”
Fang Junping's simple words did not get anyone to respond, but it brought out the sound of a page of brushing! At this moment, the two thousand heavily armored cavalry were as quiet as a sleeping volcano, slowly marching towards the battlefield with the speed of Fang Junping's deliberately suppressed march.
After the horses and cavalry had become accustomed to the weight of the iron armor, the thirty-mile journey was also completed. Fang Junping, who had been leading the way at the head of the team, rode his horse on a low slope, his eyes facing the rising sun in the east, and overlooked the chaotic battlefield under Qingshan City.
At this moment, Guo Xing was in the queue of 8,000 rangers, discussing with Hulegan about raising food and grass. If the light is still bright today, the real strength comparison between the two armies will be exposed in the eyes of every onlooker. Although the soldiers and civilians of Youbei poured out, it seemed that there were only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and most of them were weak and weak, sick and disabled, and they were not vulnerable at all.
It seems that the main elite of the Youbei Army has also paid an extremely painful price in the continuous attrition a few days ago!
To deal with such a group of red-eyed trapped beasts, the 50,000 slave soldiers and thousands of lucky people of the Huashen Sect were completely sufficient. So Guo Xing quickly gathered his heart and soul treasures, the rangers, and ordered those worthless cannon fodder to besiege and kill the living force of the enemy army.
As soon as Qingshan City is broken, it represents the second of the three parts of the secluded north; These lost dogs and fish that slipped through the net are no longer important.
"Hulegan, do you see the man with the strange tiara? He is He Wendao, a shaman in Youbei University. After a while, you, the first meritorious officer, will go and cut off the heads of He Wendao and Ding Shuo; Then put it into two wooden boxes, send people to the Great Wilderness City, and hand them over to the Great Khan and the master mother. According to my guess, the news that there has been no grain and grass in the Great Wilderness City has come, and it must be Li Zilin, a live animal, who played some small tricks with the Great Khan and the main mother. Let's send these two heads at this time, which can be regarded as a clear reminder to Li Zilin, who has no king and no father. ”
"There's a question I haven't figured out. Now that the Great Khan and the master mother have entered the Great Wilderness City, why do we still keep Li Zilin? As long as he is made, the food in Dongyou Road is not our own thing, and we don't need to look at anyone's face at all......"
Guo Xing stared at He Wendao, who was surrounded by the crowd, and asked Hu Legen:
"It's easy to start a business, but it's hard to keep a business...... In whose hands are the food in the Great Wilderness City? How many people are there in Dongyou Road, how many young and strong laborers are among them, and who are they at the mercy of? How much arable land is there? How much new grain can be harvested from the autumn harvest every year, and how much internal consumption needs to be filled, can we figure out these inconspicuous little problems? Moreover, marching and fighting is a matter of the brain, and farming is also a technical job! Among our Mobei people, is there one who can grow food? Hu Legen, the housemother kept Li Zilin's life just to be able to accept Dongyou Road smoothly! Youbei Third Road is by no means the end of the Shenshi tribe, an extremely stable granary and rear, and it is the main condition necessary for the Central Plains......"
Just when Guo Xing was talking eloquently about Sardi's strategy, he suddenly felt the ground trembling under his feet, and couldn't help but muttered a little strangely:
"It's an earthquake ......"
"Reinforcements are coming, it's our Iron Cavalry brothers!"
At the end of the light cavalry, there was a sudden cheer of joy! Many people laughed and turned over and dismounted, opened their arms, and walked towards the billowing dust and smoke in the distance with joy on their faces......
Hu Legen and Guo Xing also looked back, only to see the first member of the team, wearing black heavy armor from Di Ting; And although the war horse under his crotch is also neatly draped, he only looks at the height of the war horse, and he also knows that it is a typical Mobei horse breed. There is no problem with the armor system and the breed of war horses, this is obviously the 2,000 heavy armored cavalry that "evaporated from the world"!
"Damn, that day, Su kid, still knows to come back......"
Seeing this, Hulegan was overjoyed, and just laughed and cursed, and planned to turn over and dismount, and come forward to greet him; But suddenly Guo Xing's solemn expression was shocked.
“…… No...... This is not the day of the Su ...... Broken! Everyone quickly dispersed, and the enemy attacked! It's a enemy attack! ”
Guo Xing suddenly roared wildly, but he was drowned in the dull sound of horses' hooves like a landslide and five thunders......
Because the weight of the heavy cavalry is very exaggerated, the speed of the march is very ordinary, usually a slow canter like a warm-up, like the leisurely rhythm of "the son riding a free horse"; Only when they reach about two miles away from the charging target, they will begin to urge the war horse under their crotch to exert force, and slowly increase the speed of the war horse through gentle acceleration; Until they are about 150 paces away from the target, the speed of the heavy cavalry charge will climb to a peak, and then they will rush headlong into the enemy's formation, crushing everything in front of them into powder in an instant!
Now the two sides are exactly about two miles apart, and the rhythm of the horse's hooves hitting the ground has risen instead of decreasing, and it is obvious that the horse's speed has increased and launched a frontal charge against the own ranger formation!
It is already very obvious whether they are friends or foes.
In fact, from the perspective of the characteristics of the troops, the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry started a fight to the death, and the heavy cavalry had absolutely no chance of winning. Because the knights of the heavy cavalry, although they are all solid metal armor; However, in order to reduce the weight and increase the speed of the attack and the power of the collision, the armor of the war horse is leather.
So for the rangers, who are known for their mobility, they are not stupid enough to charge head-on with the heavy cavalry; Instead, they will adopt the kite flying style, and use bows and arrows to shoot horses, dragging the enemy soldiers to death!
It's a pity that the equipment of Fang Junping's group of heavy cavalry is all the relics that Su "entrusted" to Qi Hui before he died!
