Chapter 779: Infantry Phalanx
When Wang Peng saw the fifteen thousand cavalry in the west of the opposite ridge, his heart shrank suddenly, this is still the western part of the ridge that was beaten by the Mugyu and prepared to go south, there is such a terrifying strength, if he meets the Mugyu in advance, the Black Domain City may only be able to shrink in the city.
This is the difference in strength between medium-sized tribes and large tribes, if Lingxi goes south half a year early, Heiyu City will probably be wiped out.
"Report! The big chief, within a radius of thirty miles, found no reinforcements from the western part of the ridge, and the big tent in the western part of the ridge was still ...... two hundred miles away", a cavalryman panted and ran to the bottom of the high platform.
According to the latest news, the strength of the western part of the Lingxi lost more than 20% in a big battle with the Mughuls last year, and if it weren't for the fact that the Mugyu were worried that the dog would jump over the wall in a hurry and was unwilling to force the western part of the Lingxi to the death, the western part of the Lingxi would probably not be able to use 15,000 cavalry to fight against the Black Domain City now.
In terms of strength and types of troops, Black Domain City was at a significant disadvantage this time.
Of course, when Zhen Da discovered that there were signs of southward movement in the western part of the Lingxi, Wang Peng immediately formulated a plan for a sneak attack from multiple directions, and sent a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of the forwards in the western part of the Lingxi, preparing to eliminate the living forces in the western part of the Lingxi as much as possible before the western part of the Lingxi did not react.
However, what Wang Peng didn't expect was that the western part of the ridge seemed to have sensed the existence of the forces of the Black Domain City, and contracted his forces, without giving the Black Domain City any opportunity to take advantage of it, and crushed it in the direction of the Little Xing'an Mountains, so that Wang Peng had to retreat again and again, and retreated to the edge of the Little Xing'an Mountains.
If Wang Peng retreated to the south of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, in addition to defending the city, Heiyu City could only give up a radius of 300 miles to the west of the Ling, which Wang Peng did not want to see.
The Black Domain City is already preparing to build a third city south of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and once the third city is completed, the entire Black Domain City will have strategic depth and will not be passively beaten.
However, as soon as this plan was implemented, it was found that the advance in the western part of the ridge had advanced to the north of the Xiaoxing'an Ridge, and the entire Xiaoxing'an Ridge was in no danger to defend, so the Black Domain City could only fight with its back.
To fight or not to fight, this is a dilemma!
This question didn't make Wang Peng struggle for long, and Wang Peng found that he had to face the western part of the ridge, because the western part of the ridge had already gone south in advance.
The western part of the ridge is menacing, and as soon as it appears, it is ready to directly cross the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and go south, blocking the Black Domain City at the door of the house. Seeing that it is the spring of Murowei after looking for a small half a month, the cattle and sheep that spend the winter will die if there is no suitable pasture, even Wang Peng, who has just come to Murowei, also knows that the importance of cattle and sheep for the people living in this land is self-evident, so Wang Peng gave up any illusions and dispatched all his troops to fight to the death in the west of Lingxi.
The wars of Murowei are usually only perished, and only by standing on the corpse of one perishing can the other be strengthened!
The war came too fast, which caught Wang Peng a little off guard, and hurriedly gathered all the reserve soldiers in Black Domain City together, and only then did he make up 12,000 steps.
This is all the strength that Black Domain City can show, and compared with the fifteen thousand cavalry in the western part of the ridge, the momentum is a little weaker.
For a while, the people of the Black Domain City were panicked, and Wang Peng also felt a huge pressure, this is not the defensive battle that the Black Domain City is good at, if it is possible, Wang Peng prefers to have a city defense battle with the west of the Ling, but unfortunately the third city of the Little Xing'an Mountains has just begun to be built, and the Black Domain City has no strategic space at all, so it can only have a head-on battle with the Murwei cavalry for the first time.
This was the last thing Wang Peng wanted, no matter what the final outcome of this war was, Black Domain City would lose its ability to expand for a long time to come.
This is also very different from the plan conceived by Zhen Qian, there is no room for reversal at all, and he can only fight hard with the lone wolf in the western part of Lingxi.
"Report to the Great Chief, the cavalry on both wings has been assembled!"
"Report to the Great Chief, the infantry phalanx is on standby!"
"Report to the Great Chief, the people we sent to negotiate with the western part of the ridge have been expelled back by the western part of the ridge!"
Wang Peng often has a humane around him: "Prepare to fight!" β
"Zhen Da led 2,000 cavalry to stand by on the left flank! No attack without my orders? β
"No!" Zhen Da stood up from behind Wang Peng, bowed down to accept the order, and walked off the high platform.
"Zhen Er led 2,000 cavalry to stand by on the right flank! No attack without my orders? β
"No!"
Zhen Er walked out with a happy face, with irrepressible excitement on his face, he could finally have a big fight.
"Zhen Sixteen, Zhen Eighteen listen to orders!"
ββ¦β¦β
One command after another came out of Wang Peng's mouth, and the formations of the two sides began to advance slowly, ten miles, nine milesγ...... Seven miles, six miles, until the two armies were four miles apart, slowly stopped, this distance is not conducive to the infantry attack, but it is just right for the cavalry to charge.
Lingxi naturally won't let the other party shorten the distance between them, and Wang Peng also knows that as long as he advances one more mile, Lingxi will launch an attack in advance.
In the cavalry formation in the western part of the Lingxi, on a tall horse of a jet-black divine horse, there was a young man in his twenties who was like a giant bear, with a big head, big eyes, and a big mouth, and at first glance he was a rough man, it was the eldest son of the big leader of the western part of the Lingxi Dynasty, Yu Han, the horse whip in his hand pointed to the military formation opposite, laughed, and said to a few brothers side by side: "The third, the fourth, do you see if the Black Domain City is poor and doesn't even have a war horse, and he actually learned from the Tang Dynasty to play the infantry phalanx, and he really forgot his roots!" β
In addition to being more savage, Murowei is not much different from other steppe tribes, and if you meet ordinary herdsmen, their simple enthusiasm will make people feel at home, and it is difficult to associate savagery and fierceness with kind herdsmen. And those leaders and nobles who are above the herdsmen are as cunning as foxes and bloodthirsty, as if there is a difference between heaven and earth.
This very strange social phenomenon is completely related to the vision of the grassland tribes, many ordinary herdsmen may not be able to communicate with the outside world in their lives, and they do not know anything about what is happening outside, but the leaders and leaders of the tribes know very well how big the outside world is.
Yu Han was very curious about the newly rising Black Domain people, and when he heard that there was a city in Black Domain City, he was a little unbelieving when he first heard about it, but after catching a few Black Domain people spies, and when he heard the Black Domain people's description of the city, he knew that this matter was probably true.
When he saw the infantry phalanx set up by the people of the Black Domain, he didn't believe his eyes, he lacked any supplies in Murowei, but there was no shortage of cattle, sheep and war horses, and if there were no dozens of war horses in the hands of each Murowei people, they were embarrassed to say that they were Murowei people.
