Chapter 196: Attack
It doesn't really take a lot of trickery to fight, you just need to use it! 'Sound strikes the west', 'three around the missing one', very ordinary, but very effective. To become a famous general, it is more about the control of details in wartime. Find the right moment to launch a powerful attack. Obviously, Fan Yong is doing well. It took less than thirty people to destroy the Tatibu, which had a population of more than 1,000, and this is the best proof of this. Although Fan Yong's performance in a large group war cannot be seen for the time being, in this kind of small-scale battle, Fan Yong is worthy of the evaluation of an S-level general.
Compared with Fan Yong's performance, Tang Jue, who launched an attack at the same time as Fan Yong, was a little unbearable. Although the strength of the target tribe attacked by Tang Jue was weaker than that of the Tian Ti Division. But the Hu people in his department are all brave and good at fighting, and they are bloodthirsty. Tang Jue was much luckier than Fan Yong, and he led his troops to successfully enter the camp of the Hu people. But after being discovered, the Hu people, both young and old, ran out of resistance one after another, and they did not retreat. In the end, the original night raid battle turned into a white-knuckle street battle. Tang Juebu fought very hard. Although he succeeded in defeating the unknown in the end, he paid more than 80 casualties. This made Tang Jue feel very uncomfortable. Especially after learning about Fan Yong's battle damage, Tang Jue felt very ashamed.
Compared with the two partial divisions, the main force under the personal command of Liu Ye went very smoothly. Although Liu Ye's attack was a medium-sized tribe. However, like the Tian Tibu, there was no walled wall for defense. At the same time that the two partial divisions attacked their respective targets at night, Liu Ye also personally led the main force to launch an attack on the target tribe.
In order to save time, Liu Ye released the white-robed guards at the beginning of the battle. The fence on the periphery of the tribe was rendered useless in front of the white-robed guards. These guys directly smashed these fences with great force. Then he led the soldiers and lightly armed foot soldiers to besiege the Hu people in the camp. Saigo's main force combined numbered in the thousands, even more than the total population of the tribe. And there is also the perverted existence of the white-robed guard. How can these Hu people stop it?
In the face of the onslaught of the Xixiang army, coupled with the greed for life and death of the tribesmen (i.e., the chiefs), they fled ahead of schedule. The Hu people only lasted less than half an hour before collapsing. The Xixiang army successfully extinguished this Hu tribe. By the way, the bearded man who was greedy for life and afraid of death finally escaped with more than a dozen cronies. However, his luck was very bad, and he was then killed on the spot by the chasing cavalry. Thanks to him, the Cavalry successfully made their debut.
After destroying these three tribes, Liu Ye and the others gathered again. Heading towards the southern second part of Fei County. As a result of the destruction of the three northern divisions of Fei County, the whereabouts of the Xixiang Army have been exposed. Liu Ye did not hide the march this time. Instead, he led his subordinates to swagger away. For the nearby Hu scouts, Liu Ye did not cover the battlefield this time, but generously let them investigate. Liu Ye wanted to use their mouths to show the strength of the Xixiang Army to the Hu people of the Second Division in the south, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing people with power and demoralizing the enemy.
In fact, the effect of Liu Ye's move is still good. When he led thousands of troops to the first Hu tribe, this tribe did not resist and surrendered directly. This surprised Liu Ye. You must know that Hu Han is a mortal enemy, how can anyone surrender to his enemy by binding himself.
It wasn't until he met with the envoy of the Hu people that Liu Ye understood what was going on. It turned out that the adults of this tribe saw that the Xixiang army was strong, and they knew that they could not resist. So he fled overnight with his family and his loyal subordinates to join another tribe in the southern part of Fei County. This lord took all the elite of the tribe with him. Only a group of old and weak women and children remained. This group of old and weak women and children are not stupid, they all know that they are abandoned. In the face of Saigo's army, they were powerless. In order to survive, they could only seal the treasury and go out of the city to beg for surrender.
For these Hu people who took the initiative to surrender, Liu Ye was not polite. They were all packed and taken away, and they were welcomed at the Xixiang Labor Camp. Saigo is now very short of labor.
After destroying one without much effort, the Saigo Army rested here for a day. Subsequently, under the leadership of Liu Ye, the Xixiang army marched towards the last and strongest of the five divisions in Fei County.
The last Hu tribe in the southern part of Fei County was called the Tutunu Tribe. Speaking of which, there is still some origin with Saigo. Last year, the Tutunu tribe participated in the coalition of troops in the crusade against Xixiang. It can be said that Tutunubu and Saigo are old friends. There is some deep blood feud between the two sides. Liu Ye can just take advantage of this to report together.
Although the Tutunu tribe is not a large tribe, its strength is not inferior to the top of the medium-sized tribes. Although in the first battle against the Xixiang army, the Tutunu tribe lost many warriors, including a famous warrior. However, as the top existence among medium-sized tribes, the strength of its tribe is still not to be underestimated. In addition, there are more than 400 elite reinforcements brought by the Lord of the Houwu Department. This battle is not easy once it is fought. But in the end, Liu Ye firmly believes that it will still belong to Xixiang. After all, although the combined military strength of Tutunu and Houwu is not weak, it is still far lower than that of Saigo. The only thing Liu Ye had to worry about was when the battle would end. If it drags on for too long, it won't do the Saigo Army any good. After all, there is a giant beast composed of many Hu tribes in Mengyin, which is the real enemy of the Xixiang army.
……
Somewhere in the south of Fei County, on the march.
"How's it going to be in the shade lately?" Liu Ye asked Luan Jie, the leader of the scout team on the side. In fact, this work should have been done by the Dark Blade. But Darkblade has just been formed, and it is still severely lacking in funding. There is no capacity to do so yet. Liu Ye had no choice but to dump this job on the scouts.
"Probably ten tribes have gathered!" Luan Jie thought for a moment and replied.
"How many are there?" Liu Ye continued to ask.
"At least five thousand!"
"So much?" Liu Ye frowned. He didn't expect the Hu people to assemble so quickly!
'Could it be that April 15 is a disguise for the Hu people? ’
'Damn! It seems that it was put on a table by the Hu people. The battle on this side must be resolved as soon as possible! ’
"Intensify surveillance! Report any changes immediately! Thinking of this, Liu Ye instructed Luan Jie.
"No!"
At this moment, a scout suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Hu Qi is coming!" Everyone, defend yourself! ”
After hearing the warnings of the scouts, the infantry of the Xixiang Army, under the leadership of their respective officers, took action one after another, and began to arrange anti-cavalry formations around the supplies.
"This group of dogs dares to go out of the city to fight!" Next to Liu Ye, the little goblin riding a wind-chasing horse was a little surprised. The little goblin was very surprised that the Hu people, whose strength was far lower than them, dared to take the initiative to attack.
"Hugou's field strength is far stronger than its ability to defend the city. The reason why Hu Gou took the initiative to attack this time was to use the advantage of cavalry to win a small victory over us. In order to break the myth of the invincibility of our Xixiang army. At the same time, it can also boost the morale of the party. If you are surrounded without fighting, the morale of the troops will drop very quickly! Liu Ye patiently explained.
"So that's it!" The little goblin was enlightened.
"Humph!"
"But it's not so easy to win on this gentleman!" Liu Ye said arrogantly.
At that moment, a scout rode up.
"How many Hu Qi?" After the scout saluted, Liu Ye hurriedly asked.
"Back to the Lord, at least seven hundred horses! And it's all assault cavalry, and you can reach our army in half a moment! The scout gasped and replied.
"More than 700 assault riders, what a big deal! This should be the elite of the hoogo. Liu Ye muttered.
"But since you're here, don't think about going back so easily!"
"Pass on the order of Ben-kun! All units of the infantry army strictly hold their positions and are not allowed to move! Violators, behead! ”
"All units of the light cavalry army, the cavalry army, and the white-robed guards follow Benjun to fight!" Liu Ye pulled out his matching sword and immediately ordered.
"No!"
……
Saigo Army, southeast. More than 700 Tutunu troops and Houwu troops who were preparing to attack the Xixiang Army stopped. In front of them were nearly two thousand Saigo cavalry.
The Tuhou coalition was made up of the tribe's most elite cavalry. Although their number is relatively small, their momentum is not inferior to that of the Saigo cavalry. This is their pride as the strongest blue wolf in the grassland. Their pride does not allow them to show cowardice in the face of their enemies.
Although the Tuhou coalition army was a whole, they were not connected, but divided into two distinct parts. Obviously, one of them is the Tutunu Division, and the other is the Houwu Division.
"What bad luck! I didn't expect Zhao Gou to scatter the scout so far. Looks like we're going to have a busy day in vain! Brother, what should we do now? Is it hitting? Is it withdrawn? Take a look! Tsukabu-sama, who was riding a black horse, complained. However, in the face of more than 2,000 Xixiang cavalry, this Lord Houwu was not panicked at all, but was very leisurely, and seemed to look down on the Xixiang cavalry.
"Since you're here, how can you go back empty-handed. I have to fight a battle and try the level of these Zhao dogs! "Tutunu is humane.
"Brother, you're right! I've got your back! But how do you fight now? Although the strength of this group of Zhao dogs is not very good, there are many of them. Once you get into the middle of the battle, it's trouble! Although the sons and daughters are brave, the good tigers can't stop the wolves! Lord Hougobu turned to Lord Tutunubu and asked.
Lord Tutu Nubu thought quietly for a while and then said, "Brother Mou sees that the armored cavalry in the middle of Zhao Gou is well-equipped and strong, and if he attacks head-on, he may not be able to rush over. On the contrary, the cavalry on the left and right flanks were relatively poor. Or else! We each led a group to attack Zhao Gou's left and right wings. After completing the breakthrough, let's move according to the situation. If the war is unfavorable, let's retreat immediately! ”
"Remember, brother! The action must be fast! If you are intercepted by Zhao Gou's armor horse. I'm not going to save you! Tutunu-sama instructed.
"Don't worry! I see. If you are stopped, I will not save you. ”
"Let's get moving!" The Great Humanity of the Houwu Department.
"Sons, start killing!"
