Chapter 510: Tower Defense?
Seeing this, Han Tong couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In the case of a huge gap in the equipment of the two armies, the army of Yunguo was able to carve a hole in the already set encirclement with an indomitable hard work, which is enough to show its strength.
"It seems that the fact that the Yun State was able to defeat the Chu State twice was not entirely due to the credit of the heavy cavalry."
Han Tong found that he was becoming more and more incomprehensible to this Yun Kingdom that he was about to sweep away, and at the same time, he was becoming more and more interested, just like a lonely swordsman seeking defeat, and suddenly met an opponent who could take over his three moves.
Immediately, he immediately issued an order to transfer 20,000 heavy cavalry to intercept the 50,000 rushing soldiers, and at the same time commanded all armies and units to change formations and try their best to plug the torn gap.
"Kill, kill all these Cangguo dogs!"
"My son of Yunguo is not easy to provoke!"
"Avenge the brethren!"
"Great! Let's break through together!"
After tearing a large gap, the trapped 100,000 soldiers and the 50,000 responding soldiers converged, and the morale of the soldiers soared at once, and small centers appeared in the encirclement, and bursts of violent cheers erupted.
Seeing that the morale of the Yunguo army was rising from low to high, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion were also a little anxious, and under the layers of orders and layouts, they began to change their formations.
In terms of numbers, the two sides are already almost the same.
Han Tong's face became very solemn, although the enemy's heavy cavalry suffered heavy losses, the consumption of ordinary soldiers was still within a normal limit, and at least there were many thousand-man teams to maintain the formation.
This shows that they have not lost their combat effectiveness.
If the Suzaku Legion tried their best, they could have kept most of them here, but if they did so, it would be a result of losing both, and it was estimated that no more than half of the 200,000 Suzaku troops on the battlefield would remain.
In Han Tong's heart, the lives of the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army are much more precious than those.
Don't fight to the death.
The battle of the trapped beasts is particularly fierce, and the morale that has skyrocketed now is only temporary, and when they relax and escape, they will have to face the fact of defeat, and their morale will inevitably fall.
At that time, the scattered soldiers in front of the Suzaku Army were just some ants who could be pressed and rubbed on the ground as long as they caught up.
"Give the order to go down, don't chase them to death, chase them and stop, and force them to the northeast." Han Tong said.
Northeast?
A few strategists and some generals around him were stunned for a moment, and then they were clear.
The Suzaku Legion has a total of 300,000 people.
In the northeast and southeast, 100,000 troops were scattered, especially in the northeast, and 70,000 troops were waiting.
Isn't driving those remnants of the defeated army to the northeast to kill them all?
Sure enough, as soon as Han Tong's command came out, the offensive of the Vermilion Bird Legion slowed down slightly, no longer blindly attacking, but while preserving its own strength, it tried its best to block the enemy army and cover the killing along the road.
This is a very peculiar scene, as if it is like a gourd scoop, the encirclement formed by the Vermilion Bird Army is the gourd skin, and a small opening has been opened in one of the directions, which is the gourd mouth.
It was like a scoop of water, slowly flowing out of the mouth of the gourd.
If Yang Mu was here, he would definitely feel very familiar.
Isn't this a version of a real-life tower defense game?
The Vermilion Bird Legion blocked the only way, and then those Yun Kingdom soldiers retreated while resisting.
A real version of tower defense!
Half an hour passed, and the encirclement continued to shrink until it disappeared from behind.
In this way, the army of Yunguo paid a painful price in the case of internal and external cooperation, and finally succeeded in breaking through.
However, the remaining number is less than 100,000.
For three days in a row, the Suzaku Legion sent troops to pursue behind, leaving countless corpses behind the Yunguo army along the way.
At the same time, the news of the defeat of the 300,000 army of the Yun Kingdom also spread, with the battlefield as the center, and quickly spread outward.
The government and the opposition of Yunguo were shocked, and the monarchs and ministers held an evening court overnight to discuss countermeasures.
In the end, it was decided to mobilize large armies from all over the country to come and intercept it.
Han Tong had another headache.
Because, after all, Yunguo is a big country, if you make up your mind to mobilize a large army, hundreds of thousands can still be pieced together.
With a headache, Han Tong discussed with many soldiers and decided to use the old method.
Cut off the grain road!
Judging from the location, the main force of the Vermilion Bird Army is just between those defeated armies and the Yun Kingdom, that is to say, if those defeated and fleeing armies want to re-form their combat effectiveness, they must have a steady supply of grain and grass.
Those improvised government soldiers, if they want to come to the border, they must also go first.
Stuck on the grain transportation line, then next, just wait here and wait for the Yun Army's grain transportation team.
As for the way to wait for the rabbit, of course, it is an ambush.
"It's coming!"
On the road of transporting grain, there is at least a team of thousands of grain trucks, some of which are horse-drawn carts, and some of which are purely pulled by manpower, or pushed, or pulled by carts full of goods.
As for the soldiers and horses to protect, there were about 500 soldiers and dozens of cavalry.
After peeking on the hill for a long time, he quietly followed the grain transport team for a while, until he saw that the grain transport team had set up a tent before dusk, and the Suzaku sergeant who was in ambush returned the same way.
Report these situations one by one.
In the end, it reached Gu Yi's ears.
Based on years of experience in the march, he immediately judged that this was just a tentative means for the Yunguo grain transportation team.
An even bigger team is yet to come!
Through this grain transportation team, we can test whether this grain road is safe.
Gu Yi thought about it for a while, and immediately decided to bypass this grain transportation team tonight and sneak attack the grain transportation team in the rear.
That's the real gluttony!
Presumably, there is a grain transportation team in the front to explore the way, and the grain transportation team in the rear will relax some vigilance.
Sure enough, a dozen miles from the rear, he found the conjecture of the grain transport team.
"Oh my God! How much food is this!"
Including Gu Yi, everyone was stunned.
Pieces of grain trucks, groups of people, large and small, like a tribe, endless!
At least, it is enough for 300,000 people to have two months of military rations!
With such a large amount of grain, the defensive strength must be very good, and it is impossible for the people brought by Gu Yi to solve this point, so he immediately sent someone to inform the Suzaku Army stationed or patrolling in the vicinity, and told them the news that the Yunguo grain transportation team had arrived in this area.
So that night, tens of thousands of troops gathered behind Gu Yi, ready to attack at any time, and dealt a fatal blow to this grain transportation team!
