The south bank of the Mazi Water.

In the tent.

Bang Dun said: "Goguryeo was defeated by Gongsun Du, and promised to cede the land and compensate for the grain, which was an agreement with Gongsun Du. Now that Gongzi has eliminated Gongsun Du and taken over Gongsun Du's territory, Goguryeo is still willing to cede the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, which is already the best result. ”

"South of Mazishui, there is no danger to defend, how dare Goguryeo not back down?" Yuan Xi studied the map for a while and said, "I don't care about Goguryeo's grain compensation, but it can also be used as a sincerity to befriend Goguryeo." However, Goguryeo first proposed to refuse to pay the indemnity, but it did not take me seriously at all. If I swallow my anger and leave, then within a year, Goguryeo will definitely attack the Korean Peninsula by attacking Mazisu. Then I will have to go on a northern expedition again. Therefore, we must fight a battle and let Goguryeo know that we are powerful! ”

Yuan Xi had a deep understanding of Goguryeo.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the Buyeo people established the Goguryeo Kingdom. At first, it was only a small country, so small that the territory was only one county, called Goguryeo County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xuansu County.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and Goguryeo took the opportunity to expand and occupy Xuansu County. After that, it continued to fight with the North Wofu, the East Wofu, and the Korean State. Repeatedly invaded the northern border of the Han Dynasty.

It was not until 668 A.D. that it was destroyed by Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

During this period of more than 400 years, Goguryeo was almost never honest, either attacking Korea or invading the Northeast, and was a country with a strong desire for expansion. As long as there is an opportunity, we will never let it go.

Yuan Xi intended to stabilize the rear and chase the Central Plains, how could he let Goguryeo goulyeo?

Bang Dun was here to help in the war, and he didn't want to question Yuan Xi's thoughts, but he clearly knew the strength of the armies on both sides, and couldn't help but worry: "The Goguryeo army is stationed on the north bank of Mazishui, and there are 50,000 people on foot, all of whom are elite. I have more than 4,000 cavalry, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to win. Does Childe have a strategy to retreat from the enemy? ”

"Yes!"

Yuan Xi was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I already have a countermeasure. However, I need three days to prepare. After three days, he was able to hit Mazishui and hit Goguryeo hard. And also... The war horses under your command will be borrowed from me. ”

"Hey, as long as you can win, you can borrow anything." It's refreshing.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi said: "Three days later, you lead your soldiers, prepare bows and arrows, cross the Mazi River at night, and lure the enemy downstream. I'll set up a formation there and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop! But remember, don't shoot the enemy's horses! ”

"Yes."

Yuan Xi did not say a specific plan, which made Bandun very uneasy.

And those 4,000 war horses, no one to ride, can they also participate in the war?

Bunton couldn't help but be curious, and asked the doubts in his heart.

Yuan Xi only said: "Shanren has their own clever plan!" ”

In the blink of an eye.

Three days later.

Four watches.

He left his war horse to Yuan Xi, and only led more than 4,000 foot soldiers to cross the Mazi River at night and kill the camp of the Goguryeo army.

Yuan Xi went downstream to set up the formation...

Goguryeo generals Yang Shuo and Gao Lin built two camps on the north bank of Mazishui. Yang Shuo led 40,000 infantry as the main force and stationed on a high ground. Gao Lin led 10,000 cavalry and stationed on a plain not far away.

The advantage of this arrangement is that no matter which camp the enemy attacks, they can rush to each other's aid.

Condescending, like Tarzan hitting the top!

The cavalry is swift and can instantly reach the vicinity of the high ground and crush the enemy forces attacking the high ground.

It is no wonder that Goguryeo had the confidence to dare to take Ma Zishui as the boundary and refused to pay Yuan Xi's 30,000 stone grain. If it is an upright offensive and defensive battle, Goguryeo's position is enough to resist 200,000 Yuan troops.

It's a pity...

Yuan Xi already has a strategy to break the enemy!

Bandun crossed the Mazi River and attacked the cavalry camp on the plain.

Whoosh...

More than 4,000 of his archers blocked the entrance of the camp and fired a burst of fire into the camp.

"Kill...!" Soon attracted a large group of cavalry and rushed out. In accordance with Yuan Xi's instructions, he only shot the enemy, not the horses. Fortunately, the archery skills of the Wuhuan soldiers are very good, and they will hardly be injured by mistake.

Seeing the enemy's horses rushing over, he wanted to give the order to retreat.

But the strange thing is that the horses all walked around him, preferring to hit the wall rather than hurt his soldiers. In addition to being surprised, he also mustered up his courage and ordered the soldiers to continue shooting in.

After a while...

There are more and more enemies.

Rao is rushing horses did not hurt his soldiers, and Badun also felt that he was about to be unable to withstand it, so he went around to both sides of the walled wall and retreated to the downstream of Ma Zishui.

Da Da...

The overwhelming number of war horses ran downstream.

Soon it was gone.

Yang Shuo, who was stationed on the hillside, received a report from the soldiers, and personally led 30,000 elite infantry soldiers down the mountain, ready to gallop to the battlefield, but when he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he saw that there were all dead corpses, and there was not even a single war horse in the camp.

Yang Shuo subconsciously thought that the enemy's sneak attack on the camp failed, and fled downstream, while Gao Lin led all the cavalry to chase and kill. But when I think about it, I feel that it is not right, maybe it is the enemy's trick to lure the enemy.

Yang Shuo was afraid that Gao Lin's cavalry would be ambushed, so he also led the army downstream.

At dawn.

Yuan Xi was lying on the back of the mammoth, his eyes closed, and behind him were the colorful tigers and the four thousand war horses of the Badun, all of which had been strengthened and neatly arranged on the shore of the horse water.

Suddenly, I heard a rumbling sound in the sky.

Yuan Xi opened his eyes, sat up, and secretly calculated in his heart: "There are more than 10,000 war horses." I don't know what the situation of Badun is, if Yang Shuo can be attracted as well, it will be effortless to hit Goguryeo. ”

As early as three days ago...

He had already blended into Gaolin's cavalry camp and controlled all the horses in the rear camp. And spent three days communicating with those war horses and establishing a friendly relationship.

The process is arduous and dangerous.

Once discovered by the enemy, there is no place to die!

Fortunately, there were war horses as cover, hiding in the pile of horses, and they managed to avoid enemy patrols again and again.

Now everything is ready, just wait to gather the war horses and meet the Goguryeo army.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Yuan Xi stood on the back of the mammoth and shouted, "Go to the back, go to the back..." ”

The war horses could understand Yuan Xi's words and act according to Yuan Xi's instructions.

Soon they formed a phalanx.

Bandun led the Wuhuan soldiers to run, panting out of breath: "Gong... Childe, the enemy's infantry is coming, okay ... Tens of thousands, I really can't stand it. Son... Where's your big array? ”

"It's in the back. Fortunately, it was alone. ”

Yuan Xi smiled slightly and said, "Next, you are watching the battle from the sidelines to see how I beat Goguryeo." ”

He looked behind Yuan Xi and was stunned on the spot. I saw that the dense war horses, when no one was riding, were arranged in a phalanx, ready to go.

If you look closely, every horse is unusually tall and strong, and even its hair stands on end.
