Chapter Ninety-Five: Dividing the Troops and Raiding
After less than one hour, the first day of fighting between Bai Wenxuanjun and Yangwujun was over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At night, in the camp of Bai Wenxuan's army, Bai Wenxuan, who had changed into a robe, was sitting upright on the main seat studying the map.
Today's battle was a little inexplicable, and Bai Wenxuan always felt that something was wrong.
In less than an hour of fighting, his more than 18,000 troops lost more than 5,000 men, 3,000 wounded, and more than 2,000 killed.
Such a large casualty rate shows the strength of the Yangwu army.
But this is also where Bai Wenxuan is puzzled, according to the strength shown by the Yangwu army, if they go all out in today's battle, they will definitely be able to hit them hard.
According to the information they discovered, the other side still had 10,000 tiger battalions and 2,000 armored cavalry.
But Sima Yu easily let them go, which made Bai Wenxuan feel strange in his heart.
With the experience of winning a hundred battles in the Yangwu army, Bai Wenxuan did not believe that Sima Yu let them go because of negligence, and there must be fraud in it.
But for a while, he couldn't think of any clue.
"General!"
At the camp gate, a military general in dark gray armor walked in and saluted Bai Wenxuan.
"General Ma, there is no need to be polite, but the whereabouts of those thousands of cavalry can be detected"
Pingdong General Ma Bao, Bai Wenxuan's most powerful assistant, has been in charge of investigating the movements of Zhao Yun's 5,000 flying feather cavalry.
This cavalry has been wandering outside, threatening the safety of the army at all times.
Bai Wenxuan also designed to get rid of this cavalry many times, but unfortunately the opponent's main general was also a difficult opponent and it was difficult to start.
"We have lost dozens of good men, and the other side has turned into countless squads, constantly attacking our sentry and grain guards along the way, and it seems that they have detected the location of our grain and are heading in the direction of Wanggu."
Ma Bao's face was slightly gloomy, and he shook his head and said solemnly.
The trickiness of this cavalry is far beyond Ma Bao's imagination, with strong mobility and strong individual combat ability, which is far from being comparable to the non-commissioned soldiers in Bai Wenxuan's army.
If the enemy army is few, it will be annihilated, and if the enemy army is large, it will be far away.
Ma Bao's sentinels are unbearable, and a large number of mature sentries have been killed under the knife of Feiyu Cavalry, and they are no longer able to control the intelligence of various places in time.
"Immediately give Tong Fei an order and order him to command troops to support Wang Gu!"
Bai Wenxuan's face also froze when he heard this, and he immediately ordered.
Wanggu Town is located on the western border of Wujian County, located in the plain, and is an important grain-producing town in Wujian County.
In order to support the war with Li Dingguo's army, Wanggu Town has a large amount of grain and grass for the use of the army all year round.
At this time, Bai Wenxuan somewhat understood why Sima Yu didn't do his best in today's battle, and the other party was just waiting for Fei Yuqi's action.
That night, a cavalry rider rode out of the army of Bai Wenxuan overnight and headed for Xianlong Town.
"Crunch"
On the morning of the second day, on the gallop road more than 10 miles away from Xianlong Town, a long convoy was moving slowly.
As many as 30 horse-drawn carriages were loaded with bags full of grain, which had just been transported from Wanggu Town and were specially supplied to tens of thousands of soldiers in Xianlong Town.
On both sides of the convoy were three thousand soldiers guarding the grain, all of them drooping their heads listlessly.
Since the departure from Wanggu Town, this journey of more than 10 kilometers, they have been attacked by 5 flying feather riders.
The number of people who flew feathers each time was not large, but there were hundreds of people, and the damage was not great, but with the help of horse shooting, the three thousand escorts were disgraced and exhausted.
"Poof! When is this day a head, fighting every day, I knew that I would not be this soldier, and I always have to worry about my life! ”
In the group, a young soldier complained to his companion that he had just seen his companion die at the hands of the Flying Feather Rider.
"Shhhh You don't want to die! Nonsense said that he was going to be beheaded! ”
Hearing this, the companion beside him hurriedly grabbed him and shrugged softly.
Nonsense, cholera military heart, this is a big crime to kill the head in the army.
"What are you afraid of! Now that the Yangwu army is pressing the border, the front line is tight, these officials and masters are clamped one by one, and they are ready to slip away at any time, who will care about us"
The young soldier was not afraid, and still said viciously without care.
"To say, in this Yangwu army as a soldier is majestic, it is said that not only can you have a good salary, but also get a share of the land, you see how majestic these grandsons used to be in front of us, but in front of the Yangwu army, they can't turn up the waves at all, you said that if we go quietly to the Yangwu army, anyway, there is no one in my family!"
Then the young soldier turned his head to look left and right, then lowered his head and whispered.
"yes!"
The companion beside the young soldier also muttered in a low voice with a look of fascination when he heard this.
With the continuous expansion of the Yangwu Army, the treatment of soldiers in the Yangwu Army has long been widely spread, coupled with the Yangwu Army's record of winning a hundred battles, many people in these long-term oppressed soldiers under Sun Kewang are envious.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Just as the two were talking facilitated, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the flat slope not far from the grain team.
"Drive!"
Zhao Tong, dressed in white robe and silver armor, appeared on the top of the slope.
Behind him, 2,000 flying feathered riders were densely scattered on the flat slopes.
"It's the enemy!"
"Yang Wu Army!"
The sudden appearance of the Flying Feather Rider instantly attracted the attention of many soldiers of the food protection team, and they all said in horror when they looked at the battle flag of the Yangwu Army raised high.
"Raise your bow!"
Looking at the panicked food guards below, Zhao Tong raised his right hand and ordered with a cold expression.
"Shoot!"
"Woohoo!"
Bending bows and archery, 2,000 arrows flew towards the food protection team in an instant.
"Ahh
"Ah, run!"
The formation was scattered, and the unsuspecting soldiers of the food protection team had no time to dodge, and under the accurate arrow skills of the Feiyu cavalry composed of Xianbei cavalry, hundreds of people were hit by arrows in the first round of arrow rain.
"Bang!"
The morale of the soldiers of the grain protection team, who was already not high, was suddenly attacked by the flying feather cavalry, and as soon as the morale dropped to the freezing point, some timid soldiers even began to abandon the cart and flee directly, and the frightened horses dragged the cart around, and the grain bags on the cart were also scattered all over the ground.
The scene is chaotic!
"Woohoo!"
"Ahhh
The 2000 Feather Riders continued to fire arrows in their hands, causing a series of screams.
Dozens of rounds of arrows rained down, and more than half of the food guards below had been killed or wounded, and the rest were even more fleeing and wounded.
"Rush!"
Thundered!
Zhao Tongyi waved the silver spear in his hand and ordered the charge.
"Ah, I surrender! I give up! ”
Faced with the swooping cavalry group, the young soldier who fell to the ground because of his wounds quickly got up and kowtowed continuously, asking for a surrender in panic.
"Surrender!"
"I surrender!"
The young soldier's actions quickly led the others to the rest, and the other surviving soldiers of the food protection team also knelt down and asked to surrender.
"Surrender the prisoners and pursue the deserters!"
Seeing that the battle situation had been decided, Zhao Tong decisively ordered.
The swooping feathered cavalry bypassed the surrender and pursued the deserters who had fled in all directions.
The battle ended quickly, more than 800 soldiers of the 3,000 grain guards were killed, more than 1,800 prisoners were captured, less than 400 soldiers escaped, and the 30,000 stone of grain carried on 30 carriages also went into the hands of the Yangwu army.
After successfully annihilating this grain protection team, Zhao Tong once again led Feiyu to ride westward, leaving only 200 people to detain the captives and go to Wanggu Town in the east, as for the 30,000 stone grain and grass, they could not be taken away at all, and all of them were burned by a fire.
"Kill!"
"Ahh
"Woohoo!"
Outside Wanggu Town, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and 3,000 flying feather riders were shooting back and forth outside the city in an arc, and dense arrows continued to shoot at the guards on the city.
"Immediately send troops to break through and ask for help from Xianlong Town!"
On the city wall, Cheng Ze, the guard of Wanggu Town, looked at the menacing Feiyu Rider outside the city with a miserable face, his heart was occupied by infinite sorrow, and he ordered the soldiers on the side.
In the early hours of this morning, the grain protection team escorting 30,000 stones of grain and grass had just set off for just over an hour, and the flying feather cavalry outside the city had arrived, and the grain team was probably finished, and their Wanggu Town could really support the arrival of reinforcements?
"Whoa!"
Soon, Wanggu Town sent dozens of people to break through, but in the end, only a few people successfully broke through and went to Xianlong Town with Yu Chengze's distress letter.
