Chapter 17: Soldier Speed
Cui Yan is worthy of being a strategist that even Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have to compete for, smart and wise, and strategic; In a short moment, he pointed out the key to advancing and offered countermeasures.
"Mr. Cui said well, the last general is willing to be a pioneer." He Mao and Jiao Touch responded.
It can be seen that they agree with Cui Yan's strategy very much.
Yuan Xi ignored He Mao and Jiao Touch, and motioned for Cui Yan to continue.
"If you want to arrive in Xiangping unconsciously and achieve the effect of a surprise attack, you must ride lightly to do it. We used to have 20,000 light horsemen, but now... ”
Halfway through Cui Yan's words, he changed the topic again: "There are also Gongsun Du's elite spearmen, who specialize in restraining cavalry. If we do, it's going to be hard to win. Light cavalry raids, lone troops go deep, it is not only a fighter, but also an adventure. ”
The cavalry commander Jiao touched the column and said, "Mr. Cui doesn't know something. Our cavalry is not the same as before. Not only is it much stronger, but it's also fast. I am confident that I will lead them to defeat Gongsun Du's spearmen! ”
"It's good to have faith, but what if you lose?"
Cui Yan did not dare to guarantee that his strategy could be implemented perfectly, because the number of cavalry was too small, and after arriving in Xiangping, if he could not capture and kill Gongsun Du, he would immediately be surrounded by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of enemies, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Ahem..."
Yuan Xi opened a map, spread it on the desk, and said, "Mr. Cui's strategy, I thought about it carefully and decided to adopt it. However, with our cavalry alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win. ”
"Childe means to ask Wuhuan for help?" Cui Yan reacted immediately: "But Wuhuan just left." ”
"It is precisely because the cavalry of Badun has just left and has not yet left Youzhou, that it is more convenient for me to send someone to invite me now. Again... I gave him 20,000 stone of grain, shouldn't he help me? ”
Yuan Xi wrote a letter on the spot, handed it to He Mao, and said, "Send someone to send it to Badun." ”
"No."
He Mao picked up the letter.
Yuan Xi said: "After Wuhuan's cavalry arrives, together with our cavalry, we will go to Xiangping City." Mr. Cui Yan and General He Mao led the rest of the troops to follow up and join me as soon as possible. ”
"No..."
Everyone knew that Yuan Xi relied not only on cavalry, but also on mammoths and colorful tigers, which was also a great help, even if he was surrounded by enemies, he could get out of danger. Therefore he no longer admonishes.
Two days later.
After receiving a letter from Yuan Xi asking for help, he led 5,000 cavalry back without saying a word.
Jiao Touch camped outside the city and was responsible for receiving Badun (the reason why he was outside the city was because he was afraid that the cavalry of Wuhuan would cause chaos and make the people in the city feel uneasy).
Yuan Xi came to the camp outside the city, saw Badun, and said excitedly: "Shan Yu can personally lead the army to help, this son is grateful, and when Gongsun Du is defeated, there will be heavy thanks!" ”
"No thanks, I have to come too!"
There was an angry look on his face: "Gongsun Du, this old boy, when he went to the grassland, he slaughtered how many of our clansmen and how many war horses he robbed. I've wanted to hit him for a long time! This time, you have Gongzi taking the lead, and my five thousand riders, even if they are pioneers, do not care about life and death. ”
"Good. I didn't expect that there would be such a grudge entanglement between you and Gongsun Du. Yuan Xi patted his chest and said: "Shan Yu, rest assured, I promise you that I will capture Gongsun Du alive and hand it over to you Wuhuan to deal with." ”
"Thank you!"
He replied with a fist.
Rested for the night...
Jiao's 10,000 horsemen and Badun's 5,000 horsemen advanced towards Xiangping City.
Yuan Xi rode a mammoth and followed behind, followed by a colorful tiger.
I have to say that the unstrengthened beasts can't outrun the strengthened ones. Even the five thousand horsemen of Badun, known as the wind on the grassland, could not catch up with the cavalry of Jiao Touch.
Yuan Xi's mammoths and colorful tigers, not to mention.
The mammoth weighs twelve tons, is clumsy like a bear, and runs earth-shatteringly, and its speed is not as fast as that of a colorful tiger. The Colorful Tiger is flexible, but it can't keep up with the scorched cavalry.
Yuan Xi has decided to strengthen it immediately!
Only by strengthening the mammoth and the Spotted Tiger will the speed increase.
in order to catch up with the stumbling and the scorched touch.
Yuan Xi is an anxious son, and he will do what he says. While the mammoth was still running, he turned on the system and pressed the boost button. Suddenly, Yuan Xi felt that the mammoth's body had grown taller, at least about half a meter, and the tusks had stretched up a lot.
Heehi...
The mammoth's trunk tilted upwards and its running speed increased.
"Hahaha... Come on! ”
Yuan Xi laughed happily, and when he looked behind him, he found that the ten colorful tigers were almost thrown away by the mammoth. Hurry up and open the beast system and strengthen the ten colorful tigers.
The enhanced Colorful Tiger runs at an astonishing speed. It's like a white horse passing through a gap, an eagle catching a goose, and a rabbit, and before Yuan Xi can pay attention, he surpasses the mammoth.
"Slow down, slow down..."
Yuan Xi shouted a few times, controlling the Colorful Tiger to slow down and follow the mammoth.
Time passes...
The mammoth and the Spotted Tiger quickly caught up with the Badun's cavalry, but not more than Scorch. Because the five thousand horsemen of Badon are the vanguard, they should be the first to enter the battlefield.
It's just that Yuan Xi didn't expect that Jiao Touch's meritorious service would have run away a long time ago. And in his heart, he had the idea of facing Gongsun Du alone. In his opinion, as long as the raid on Xiangping City is fast enough, he will definitely win.
There is no need for five thousand horsemen at all.
That's it...
Jiao's 10,000 cavalry left Yuan Xi and Ku Dun far behind.
In one day, thousands of miles!
After crossing the Great Liao River and entering the territory of Liaodong, it was even more crazy to run.
The tired bones of the soldiers were about to fall apart, but in order to raid Xiangping City and win the final victory, they insisted on holding on without rest, and even ate only the dry food they carried with them.
The next evening.
Sun Du, the prince of Liaodong, feasted his ministers in the palace of Xiangping City and rewarded the generals who had returned from the victory against Goguryeo.
Gongsun Du's sons Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, strategist Yang Yi, and generals Liu Yi, Lun Zhi, and Bei Yan are all in the palace. Gongsun Kang defeated Goguryeo, crossed the Mazishui (Yalu River), forced Goguryeo to take out 30,000 stone grain, and ceded Dongwofu and other regions.
Gongsun Du was very happy and recalled the military generals who were outside to publicize his son's exploits.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my son led the army to conquer Goguryeo, Goguryeo..."
Gongsun Du held the wine bottle and said with a smile the scene when Gongsun Kang fought Goguryeo, and the smug look on his face was fully revealed. However, at this critical moment, there was an unknown Yu Linwei who stumbled into the banquet hall: "Report... Report...! ”
Before Gongsun Du finished speaking, he was interrupted by that Yu Lin Wei, who was very unhappy and scolded: "Fork him out!" ”
"The king, the king... Enemy attack! Yu Linwei lay on the ground and said in fear: "The enemy's cavalry is too fast, and it entered the city in the blink of an eye. Our soldiers stationed in Xicheng are fighting bloodily, but I am afraid they won't last long, King... ”
