[Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mending the Cracks in the Heavens, Cracking the Armor on the Remnants]

PS: A big change in case of one event! Ask for votes!

What, if you have any suggestions, can you tell us about them? Don't take it off the shelves without making a sound...... Alas, it's really worrying to watch the collection drop one a day......

With the return of ranger scouts from all directions, the transfer of the Sixth Army to the west and the transfer of the Fourth Army to Shiliping to the south was finally confirmed.

After listening to Bailishu's legion staff plan, the generals and colonels who gathered in the legion's tent shook their hands one after another, preparing to break through.

Shen Yun had been watching the whole process, and he found that Hou Jian was not as "rabbit" as the legend, and he was still very bold. And the charisma should not be overlooked. In the process of deliberation, which was only half an hour, it was Hou Jian who calmed down the generals who were originally shouting to fight to the death with the Yue clan with the strength of one person, and agreed to break through together.

Of course, this also has something to do with the high feasibility of the plan of Baili Beam.

Yes, who would want to die if they can live? A battle to the death is a desperate choice in a lifeless situation. Now that there is a chance to break through and the success is very high, who would choose to die?

Hou Jian looked around at the general standing in front of the sand table, then nodded and said, "Now wait for the specific situation of the rangers on the marshal's tent and the western rangers to report, and then you can break through." My intention was to use the east as a breakthrough point, with a thousand heavy cavalry to attack the enemy's Eighth Army Corps, with the middle division as the main force, and after the breach, the first and second towns of the middle division advanced in two directions, expanding the frontal battlefield and allowing the follow-up infantry to advance. The third town of the middle division was the Chinese army, which went straight to the valley mouth at the southern end of the Orkhon Valley and occupied it.

The rest of the front division and the rear division, with 1,000 heavy cavalry as the rear formation, engaged the enemy in Shiliping in advance. Note that it is not possible to engage in large-scale battles with enemies during the day. Heavy cavalry is not allowed to participate in battle. When the sun is approaching tomorrow, your troops will use heavy cavalry as a breakthrough to the west, and then turn back to the east. It's a bit of a long way, so I'll send you one man and three horses. Strive to meet me at the mouth of the Orkhon Valley after sunset. ”

All the generals nodded their heads.

At this time, Xu Dong said: "Palace Marshal, my subordinates want to ask, if the front division and the rear division are close to the west and find that the defense line in the west is weak, can they break through from the west." Heading straight to Flying Cloud Castle? ”

That's a problem. Feiyun Fort is in the northwest corner of Chagan Lake, but it is only two hundred and sixty miles away. But because there was no straight road, it took nearly a day and a night to go by horse. This is also one of the reasons why Hou Jian did not choose the Third Legion to go to Feiyun Castle to take refuge when he first discovered that the Yue Clan was surrounded. The distance is too far, and the Yue people are chased and killed in the back for a day and a night. It is likely to lead to the collapse of tens of thousands of armies. What's more, there are also enemy troops in the west, and it's hard to say whether Feiyun Castle is still there.

Hou Jian thought for a while. He said, "Wait for the western rangers to send the information back." If the western defense is weak. If you have the chance, you can. However, the commander believes that the enemy will definitely focus on Feiyun Fort, and the rest of the front and rear divisions will break through to the west just to give the enemy the illusion that our army is going to break through to the west. ”

Xu Dong nodded. He glanced at Shen Yun who was standing behind Hou Jian strangely, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, the herald outside the tent came to report, and only one of the six rangers who had gone out to the west came back. And he was seriously wounded, so it is only said that the western side is extremely well defended. And the ranger team that had been in contact with the marshal's big tent through the small canyon of the Shahai of the Zabkhan River has not returned.

Faced with this situation, Hou Jian pondered for a while before saying: "The west seems to be well defended, but it's just strange, the Sixth Legion of the Yue Clan has been fighting fiercely with our army for so many days, how can it still be so fierce after moving to the west?" ”

Baili Shu hesitated and said, "Palace Shuai, do you think you will wait another day?" Look at the combat strength of the people of the Moon Clan tomorrow and then make a decision? After all, the liaison rangers from the marshal's tent haven't returned yet......"

"What does it matter?" Hou Jian said strangely.

Baili Shu said: "The last time I contacted the rangers, I brought back the investigation of the marshal's tent, it seems that someone in the dark guard has already contacted the marshal's tent, and this time it will be the news that the commander of the Moon Clan besieging my third legion will be ......"

Speaking of this, Hou Jian remembered, indeed, the news that the rangers brought back from the marshal's tent last time said that someone in the dark guard had already contacted the flying cavalry guard, and found out who the commander of the Yue's army was this time, as well as the generals of each legion, which was very important for the Han army. However, at that time, the people of the dark guard were still rushing to the marshal's tent with the flying cavalry guard, and the rangers of the Third Legion were eager to send back the military order of "the right to dispose of the battle", so they decided to send the news of the dark guard in the next wave.

Hou Jian manages the eating, drinking, and Lazar of so many people every day, and many things are just a glance, and most of them have to be remembered by the staff officers. This is also the reason why staff officers are indispensable.

Fighting a war is not something that a general can accomplish after all! No matter how wise and powerful the commander is, without these staff officers, he is just an ordinary person who is slightly smarter than ordinary people!

However, this time Hou Jian said: "No need, the fighter plane is fleeting, and it cannot be delayed." The Sixth Legion and the Fourth Legion of the Yue Clan have just changed their guards, and tomorrow is the time when they are most vulnerable, especially the Eighth Legion in the east has also moved to the south, so the defense in the east will be the weakest, if you wait another day, who knows what will happen! Well, that's it! ”

Hou Jian glanced around and raised his voice: "The generals will listen to the order, get up tomorrow, cook at the end of the day, and prepare the whole army for battle." At three o'clock in the unitary hour, the whole army broke through to the east. This order. ”

A group of generals and colonels responded with a bang.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

It was destined to be an unusual night. Shen Yun, who returned to the camp, first found Fang Cheng and Zhao Xin and asked them to prepare. Then I went to the Female Soldier song.

It should be said that after the battle in the past few days, the song brought by the female soldier Wen Cui is the most leisurely. None of the previous battles were their turn. However, they are also the busiest of the people, with logistical support and caring for the wounded on their shoulders.

When Shen Yun came back from injury, Zhou Hui hurriedly ran to see it, but when she saw that Shen Yun was not worried about her life, this rough-lined Nizi pouted, tilted her head, and walked away with her toes high.

Later, I heard Zhong Lisi say that Zhou Hui almost cried when she heard about it at first, but when she saw that Shen Yun was fine, she shouted that she would definitely bring back the head of the Yue clan coach when she went into battle, instead of taking a broken flag to invite credit.

on this. Shen Yun could only smile helplessly.

In the next few days, Shen Yun was busy recuperating from his injuries and helping Lao Cai dispose of Paoze's corpse, and Zhou Hui's female soldier Qu was even more busy taking care of the wounded, and the two had no time to get together. Although they were close at hand, and when they walked through the camp, the two could still meet from time to time, but they could only talk about their lovesickness through their eyes.

Although it is said that it is to get up at the end of the day tomorrow and cook at the hour. But after the breakout order came out, before going to bed, the special editing department was already busy. They were mainly busy with the placement of the wounded. Those who were seriously injured. For example, it is difficult for an injured person with a missing arm or leg to keep up with the speed of this breakthrough. For them, the military regulations of the Han army naturally cannot be abandoned, and the only thing they can do is to explain the situation to them now, and then arrange a horse tomorrow. Tie them to the horses and the breakout begins. They will not receive any medical treatment. It is necessary to keep jolting on the horse until the breakout is over...... This is tantamount to announcing their death sentences!

In this case, many seriously wounded people would actually choose to give the nameplate representing their identity to the other robes first, and then stay behind the palace until they were killed by the enemy - this is also the situation where the Fifth Company said that the wounded should not be carried.

It's cruel, but it's helpless.

Shen Yun for those seriously injured who were about to die. Of course it's much better. In fact, even if Shen Yun is really seriously injured now, for the sake of his identity, there will be a special carriage to carry him. That's the hierarchy.

After four or five days of recuperation, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng were actually almost healed from their injuries. After all, it was only a flesh wound - the seriously wounded were all dead on the way back - so that the only forty-four men left in the entire first battalion could be mounted and fought again. This was after Shen Yun had inspected the camp of wounded soldiers. The only thing that makes me happy.

"Yuan Rang, what you said is true?" Fang Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

While patrolling the camp, Shen Yun quietly walked with Fang Cheng and told him about the legion's tent just now. The original intention was to ask Fang Cheng to give some advice. But when Shen Yun said that the ranger team that contacted the marshal's big tent would bring back the news of the secret guard, he had this attitude.

Shen Yun thought about it, Secret Guard? I'm swooping, could it be that this kid thinks of Yan Ruyu again?

To be honest, after going through so many things, Shen Yun really forgot why he came to be a soldier with Fang Cheng in the first place, and it seemed that everything came so naturally. It wasn't until this moment that Shen Yun suddenly remembered that his brother had become a love saint......

Looking at the excited look on Qing Sheng's face, Shen Yun pouted and said, "That team of rangers hasn't come back yet, maybe something has happened!" ”

"No, I'll stay in the Legion's tent and ask them when they arrive." With that, Fang Cheng jumped on crutches and jumped towards the legion's tent.

Fang Cheng's identity Shen Yun had already reported to Baili Shu, and he went to the legion tent without fear of being kicked out. It's just that Shen Yun wants to discuss with him, whether to let Zhou Hui also follow the legion's big tent to act, and the idea of letting him follow the big tent of the legion is in vain-Fang Cheng is now full of thoughts that he can contact Yan Ruyu through the secret guard, how can he still have the heart to take care of Shen Yun's heart!

Night patrols, this is a must for officers in any time and space. After a day of hustle and bustle, the noisy camp finally quieted down. Shen Yun came back from patrolling the camp and entered the camp tent with exhaustion, only to see Zhao Xin, Zhong Lisi, Pang Tong and Zhang Mo all waiting for him.

"Battalion commander, is there something?" Shen Yun saluted first.

Zhang Mo returned the salute, and then said with a wry smile: "There are only forty-four of us in the entire battalion, and all of them are injured, and the battalion commander is really a little unworthy of his name." Yuanrang, you went to the Legion's tent today? ”

Shen Yun glanced at Zhang Mo, there was nothing to hide, and nodded: "Not bad." Qu Chang has already reported my identity to the palace marshal, but I have already told the palace marshal that it is more comfortable to follow the brothers if I don't break through with the legion's big tent! ”

Including Zhang Mo, everyone showed a touched look on their faces. Seeing their expressions, Shen Yun smiled, "Moved, right? Don't be moved, anyway, our special edition department is also following the legion's big tent! ”

Zhao Xin smiled, only nodded to Shen Yun, and didn't say anything.

Zhong Lisi jumped up, gave Shen Yun a hug with all his might, and shouted, "Haha, this is our good brother!" ”

Pang Tong rubbed his hands and stood up excitedly, everyone thought he was going to say something, but it turned out to be a sentence: "Is there anything to eat?" I am hungry! ”

"Damn!" The crowd was in contempt.

When the hour came, the people prepared to rest. At this time, Fang Cheng jumped in from the outside again, and saw that everyone had already fallen asleep, so he hurriedly woke up one by one, and said, "Brothers, brothers." Good news! ”

"What's the good news?" Shen Yun was not asleep yet, and asked with his eyes open.

Fang Cheng danced excitedly, shook off his single crutch and said, "Just now, Major Baili, the staff officer of the legion, told me that tomorrow a battalion of soldiers will be transferred from the guard brigade beside the palace marshal to our command. Haha, our first battalion can hold up again! ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes naturally turned to Shen Yun - Hou Jian's purpose in doing this was very clear, just to protect Shen Yun!

Shen Yun was also a little unnatural. But he didn't say anything, smiled faintly, and said, "Go to bed early, you have to get up when it's time!" ”

Sleep though. However, Shen Yun was still quite grateful to Hou Jian for this move.

Nothing was said all night.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

Get up at the end of the day, and cook at the hour. At three o'clock, the entire Dahan camp was ready. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the Yue's sentry found out about the movement of the Han army's camp. would only think that the Han army was preparing for today's big war.

A battalion of guard cavalry from the special division of the legion's big tent has arrived. I don't know if it is to take care of Shen Yun's existence, there are no officers in this battalion of cavalry. The battalion commander, company commander, and the like all remained in the regimental battalion. Didn't come with the team. Zhang Mo just added Shen Yun and the others, and then he could smoothly command this battalion.

This is where the elite army of the Han Empire comes in. There is no private army, and any army is respected by rank and rank, and even if the army is scattered, as long as a few officers are added at random, the stragglers can be immediately rebuilt. Form a collective. This is also the key reason why the commander of the Han army was able to break out of the encirclement of the enemy army after being killed many times. Soldiers will respect a certain general, but will not say that they will not obey orders from a certain general. As long as it is an officer officially sent down from above, the low-level soldiers will obey unconditionally.

Of course. It is also inevitable that the officer rank will suppress each other and squeeze each other, but these have nothing to do with ordinary soldiers. As long as they know who has a higher rank, they just do what they want.

All the baggage that could not be taken away from the camp was piled up or buried on the spot. When the breakout operation begins, the burning can begin. In order to bring more, each Han sergeant's marching bag was full.

Because most of the previous casualties were cavalry, there were many horses vacant. The special compilation department can now achieve one person and three horses, war horses, reserve horses and pack horses. The equipment was equipped with a thousand-mile march, and each cavalryman carried ten quivers full of arrows (fifty), four large bales of soybeans and forage, seven days' worth of dry rations, and four jugs full of water. Reserve horses and pack horses are full of them, and they run at full strength without affecting their speed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is poisoning. Shen Yun led the horses, and together with all the robes of the special editing department, they faced the west. Nearly ten miles in the distance, occasionally a few enemy riders flashed from the woods or depressions, and then disappeared. The breakthrough was imminent, and the rangers of the Third Army were also preparing to break through, so they did not go more than ten miles away to clear their vision, and only wandered three or five miles closer. The whole environment is quiet and scary, only the shouting and killing sound of the south side is noisy, which highlights the quietness even more.

After eating a few mouthfuls of dry food and pouring a few mouthfuls of water, he nervously watched the sun gradually setting in the west. The hearts of all the soldiers were depressed.

Shen Yun bit his lip and let the sweat on his forehead slip down from his helmet, and his body was a little wet under the sun. Looking at Zhong Lisi again, this thin man who jumped off is now looking at the front with a solemn face. Pang Tong was sweating profusely, taking off the helmet several times, taking out the cotton absorbent inside to squeeze out the sweat, and then putting it back on. Only Zhao Xin, like a terracotta warrior standing for thousands of years, was firmly nailed there, motionless.

Seeing that the time was coming, Pang Tong drank four pots of water in succession, and had to fill them up again -- near Chagan Lake, there was no shortage of water. However, when Pang Tong was about to fetch water, many robes threw over the kettle: "Fatty, help me fill it too!" "I want it too!" "Two pots, thank you!" ……

It turned out that everyone was nervous, and with the hot weather, it was not surprising that the water was running out quickly.

Especially the soldiers of the second and third songs, who have little contact with the enemy, have seen so many corpses in the past few days, and they are about to break through the whole army This kind of big action, no one knows whether they will die on the way to break through, and the nervousness can be imagined. When Pang Tong hung a large number of kettles to fetch water, many people in these two songs also reported to the chief and went to the rear to fetch water.

Shen Yun tiptoed and looked around, but he couldn't see Fang Cheng's figure, and then jumped to look at the direction of the third curve and saw the position at the head of the row. Zhou Hui also looked at her side from time to time, and suddenly felt a lot more comforted. Wait for a breakthrough later, with the heavy cavalry in front, and the special department will set off behind the legion battalion, which is not the first line, so the safety is okay. However, Shen Yun had already made up his mind, and when the whole army moved, he would try his best to get closer to Zhou Hui.

"What about Teng Yu?" Shen Yun touched Zhong Lisi beside him and asked in a low voice.

Zhong Lisi pouted: "I went to the legion camp early in the morning, and I haven't come back yet." Didn't you see that his company of men and horses was behind me?! ”

"Uh...... This kid! Shen Yun scolded in a low voice.

At the moment of Shen Shi, Pang Tong hung a full kettle and walked back with a jingling sound. The sound is crisp. Looking at Pang Tong's fat body again, he swayed forward, and wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyes with his fat fingers from time to time. Along the way, he drank up another kettle. From time to time, he gasped and scolded: "Malegobi's." The fat man's sweat is enough to fill your kettle, and he still has a fart of water! It had a comedic effect, causing the soldiers who were already nervous to laugh out loud, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

At this moment, Fang Cheng suddenly rushed back from the direction of the legion's main camp, in the quiet camp. The sound of him riding alone on his horse was not small, and it immediately diverted everyone's attention.

I saw that his face was serious, and he ran to the commander array in the center of the camp in a hurry, and talked to Xu Dong for a while. Xu Dong was also taken aback, and ordered: "The whole army is not allowed to move recklessly, and prepare for war at any time." From now on, no one is allowed to walk around without my military order! After speaking, Xu Dong immediately rushed to the direction of the legion camp with his staff officers.

After Fang Cheng finished speaking, he led the horse back to the first battalion array, his face solemn and serious.

Shen Yun, Zhang Mo, Zhong Lisi, Zhao Xin, and Pang Tong all looked at him. But no one spoke.

Under the gaze of the five people, Fang Cheng sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "The news of the dark guard has come back, the commander of the enemy army of the Yue Clan in front of us is Wales, the first tribune of the Roman Empire's Asian Province?" Corvette? Gipurus? Rovinis! ”

Zhang Mo suddenly frowned, but Zhong Lisi said disdainfully: "Who is this person?" Is it famous? ”

Zhao Xin muttered: "The Romans have really joined the war!" ”

Zhang Mo said: "This person has a nickname in Rome, called 'Son of the Sun', and is known as the contemporary Roman god of war...... In short, you just need to know that he is a general on the same level as His Royal Highness Duke Hu. Teng Yu, you continue. ”

Fang Cheng looked at Zhang Mo and continued to whisper: "I was in the legion tent just now, and the secret guard also said this. This Rovinis is very strong, but it is not Rome who has entered the war...... The secret guard got the news that a year ago, this Rovinis was expelled from the military by the province of Asia for violating military law, and his whereabouts are unknown......"

Zhong Lisi sneered: "Hmph, I just want to cover it up." ”

"There is also news that this time it was not the Four Yueshi Legion besieging my Third Legion, but seven, three of which have been hiding in the Orkhon Valley. In addition, my Fifth and Sixth Army Corps have already moved south to support, and now they should be outside Feiyun Castle. The Flying Cavalry Guard is also rapidly advancing northward, and the marshal means that he wants to expand the living space of our northern frontier front army first, and then wait for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle. ”

Fang Cheng finished speaking in one breath, but it was too hot, so he opened the kettle and took a sip. Shen Yun winked at him, Fang Cheng understood what Shen Yun meant, and shook his head gloomily: There is still no news of Yan Ruyu.

"So there is a change in our army's breakout plan?" Zhao Xin looked at Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just told the commander about the situation and asked him to hurry to the legion's tent to discuss the matter." However, the ranger team in charge of liaising with the marshal's tent came from the west, and they said that the Yueshi had stretched the battle line very long and intended to blockade the west......"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Shen Yun asked anxiously, "When did the Ranger team come back?" ”

"In less than two hours!" Fang Cheng replied.

"Doesn't that mean it's easy to break through to the west?" Pang Tong finally heard the meaning and said excitedly.

Shen Yun looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "But now that it's been two moments, is it still too late to change formations at this time?" ”

At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound like thunder from the south, followed by a "killing" sound as loud as thunderbolt and lightning that broke through the sky......

Zhang Mo suddenly changed color and exclaimed: "It's not good, the heavy cavalry in the south has begun to charge!" ”

Shen Yun raised his head in shock, looked at the sky and said, "But, it's only been two moments!" It's not yet unitary......"

"The former division commander has the power to make decisions on the spot, presumably he discovered the fighter, so he took the lead!" Zhao Xin looked at the south with a solemn face and said affirmatively.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

Wars are always made up of one accident after another. Zhao Xin is absolutely right. The front division suddenly ordered the heavy cavalry to start charging into formation. It was indeed the discovery of the warplane. And the chances are not small.

Shiliping, the flat land where tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han and Yue armies have been buried, are still piled up like a mountain of corpses at this moment, and the strong smell of blood can make vampires faint happily. There were mutilated corpses everywhere, and the blood that flowed out gradually gathered into one puddle after another, and the horse's hooves stepped on it, and the splashed blood beads pierced people's eyes......

The former teacher's surname is Leng, and his single name is a cloud character. He is a fifty-year-old veteran. In this battle of Shiliping, Hou Jian handed over such an important position to him, just because he took a fancy to his old and serious side.

And Leng Yun was in the battle of the previous days. is also worthy of the title of veteran, steady and steady, step by step. The kind of fighting style that does not seek merit but seeks no fault deeply implements Hou Jian's lack of urgency in a decisive battle and drags the enemy. The strategic idea of forcing the Moon clan to transfer troops from both wings.

Just half an hour ago, Leng Yun was also thinking about the plan agreed on last night. Hold off the enemy at Shiliping first. Then the heavy cavalry was thrown on the western front, trying to lead the enemy to the western front, and then return to the east of the division and break through with the army. At this time, Leng Yun, as the front-line commander, of course, didn't know that he was facing the enemies of the seven legions in front of him, not the previous four.

Leng Yun's steady and steady. made the Shiliping area the bloodiest hell. There is actually nothing dangerous on the flat land of Shiliping, and the only thing that can be called a must-conquer place is the stream in the middle of Shiliping that is only ten steps wide. The two armies of Han and Yue are fighting for each other in front of this stream, fighting for life and death.

Both armies faced each other with cavalry first. Cavalry shoots back, then let the infantry charge, and the cavalry cuts into both wings. The tactics are all the same. In the previous two days, Leng Yun had fought countless times with the Yue people on the opposite side, and he already knew their fighting style - of course, both armies were Han armies before, and their fighting styles were similar. That's why it will create a ten-mile flat battlefield like a meat grinder, and neither side can break through the other party's formation.

Just half an hour ago, when the Yue's infantry began to charge, the retreating Yue's cavalry did not retreat from the two wings of the infantry phalanx as usual, but for some reason, they rushed up in a daze, collided with their own infantry, and immediately rushed to the Yue's infantry phalanx of about 3,000 people in front of them.

Seeing this, Leng Yun couldn't believe his eyes, and after being stunned for a moment, he almost instinctively ordered the Han cavalry that had originally retreated to regroup and launch an attack on the Yue's infantry phalanx, and at the same time ordered the formation to press two hundred paces and prepare to support the cavalry. After two days of fierce fighting, the Han army crossed this stream for the first time, which cost countless lives.

What made Leng Yun even more unexpected was that his cavalry actually cut into it smoothly, and the Yue's infantry phalanx was thrown into a mess, and the screams were heard from the sky to the ground, and they suddenly began to rout. In order to avoid the advancing Han cavalry, the defeated soldiers had to flee to both wings, and in only a quarter of an hour, the cavalry phalanx on the left and right flanks of the Yue clan were also knocked apart......

Until this moment, Leng Yun was still a little hesitant. But the scene in front of him told him that this could never be a conspiracy of the Yueshi people - in fact, no general would use this method to lure the enemy into taking the bait!

Leng Yun is also a veteran general on the battlefield, and he knows the truth of "time does not wait, time does not come again", and the surrounding division staff officers also suggested that at this moment, charging into battle with heavy cavalry can definitely sweep the fourth legion of the Yue clan on the opposite side!

After a short hesitation, Leng Yun gritted his teeth and ordered, rode across the river in uniform, and the whole army pressed on it, defeating the Yue clan people in one fell swoop.

Here is the assembled team of the front division and the rear division, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people, while the fourth army of the Yue clan on the opposite side has more than 20,000 people, according to normal circumstances, it is just a war of attrition. But I didn't expect that a mistake by the Yueshi people who didn't know what to call led to a chain reaction, and the wide formation of the Fourth Legion was actually crumbling by its own people within two quarters of an hour.

At two o'clock, Leng Yun sent all the heavy cavalry on hand across the river, and in units of five hundred cavalry, they attacked the Fourth Legion of the Yue Clan in front of him like a wave of impact. Followed by the Han cavalry and Han infantry, for a while, the mountains roared like a tsunami and shouted to kill the four fields!

Since the battle was fought in the early morning of 25 April, the first major victory of the Han army on the frontal battlefield actually came at this moment!

However, sometimes victory is not a good thing. At least not for the Third Army, which was preparing to break out.

The Fourth Legion of the Yue Clan was defeated too badly, and Leng Yun rushed too fast. In the first moment, Leng Yun's heavy cavalry had already advanced for fourteen miles, cutting through the entire Yueshi array. If it weren't for the lack of horsepower. It must be stopped and rested, and the heavy rider will continue to harvest the lives of the Yueshi people like a sickle. The heavy cavalry has rushed fourteen miles, but what about the light cavalry? Twenty-five miles! The infantry had all crossed Shiliping and were about to chase directly to the camp where the Special Editorial Department was stationed on the south bank of Chagan Lake. And the light cavalry even saw the houses of Chagan County......

In other words, Leng Yun's former division completely defeated the Fourth Legion of the Yue Clan, but it also opened a gap of ten miles with the legion camp. At this moment, the Eighth Army of the Yue Clan in the east finally arrived and wrapped up Leng Yun's front division from the flank!

At this time, Leng Yun was already difficult to ride a tiger. He ordered a retreat at this moment, and the Eighth Legion of the Yue Clan would chase after him. The Han army has been fighting fiercely for a day, and at this time there is absolutely no strength to run back. Therefore, it can only be ordered to assemble and form a phalanx in the open field to hold back the enemy army. At the same time, messengers were sent to ask for help from the legion battalion.

If it's the usual battles. When Leng Yun defeated the enemy army, the legion battalion would dispatch troops to quickly follow. to expand the results. But Leng Yun was too quick to crush the enemy army. So much so that he chased him out of the five miles before the news came back to the legion's tent. At this time, Hou Jian was anxiously preparing to transfer the direction of the breakthrough, but he didn't expect that Shiliping would be able to defeat the Yue's army in one fell swoop.

At this moment, if Hou Jian had ordered the squadron division with the most troops and the highest morale to follow up, perhaps things would not have developed as they did later.

But as said before. Wars are always made up of one accident after another. The Yue's Fourth Army was inexplicably defeated, and the middle division also began to break through to the east inexplicably......

In fact, it can't be said to be inexplicable, because the unitary time has arrived, and Hou Jianxin's order has not reached the middle division. Then the choice of the middle division is obvious. Of course, it was to burn the baggage, and the whole army broke through to the east!

Of course, at this time, Hou Jian still had a choice, that is, to order the middle division in the breakthrough to quickly rush to the south and join up with the front division that was holding on to the front for reinforcements. But Hou Jian made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that the soldiers who gave the order were actually killed by two Yue's soldiers who were seriously injured and fell to the ground when they crossed the Shiliping battlefield......

And so, one of the most bizarre battles began. The rest of the forward and rear divisions were holding on twenty miles from the corps camp for reinforcements, while the only middle division that could respond was desperately trying to break through to the east. And the Yueshi people didn't seem to know what was happening, the defenses in the east were extremely weak, and the middle division broke through the encirclement of the Yueshi people in the east almost unscathed, and then advanced towards the Orkhon Valley according to the original plan......

The fire on the west bank of Chagan Lake rose to the sky, and it looked so conspicuous in the afterglow of the setting sun, and black smoke rose from the teeth and claws, shrouding the remnants of the cavalry on the Shiliping...... Like a mocking apocalyptic portrait!

From the literature of later generations, it can be found that in fact, the Yueshi people are also in chaos at this moment. At the beginning of the inexplicable collapse of the Fourth Legion of the Yue Clan, the Marshal of the Yue Clan did not issue any effective orders, except for letting the Eighth Legion support the Fourth Legion.

And when the fire at Chagan Lake ignited, the marshal of the Yue clan was busy in his tent. But the order that came out of the big tent was even more inexplicable - the Eighth Army and the Seventh Army joined forces to eat the front division of the Han army first. At the same time, the 9th and 10th Army Corps, which had been transferred from the Orkhon Valley, returned to the valley and fortified at the mouth of the valley. At the same time, the Sixth Army was ordered to assemble and retreat to the south, giving way to the Han army to the west.

After these orders were issued, a violent quarrel rang out in the tent of Marshal Yue.

"Your Excellency Rovinis, if you do this, you will let the Third Legion of the Han Army go, do you know? If this strategic intent fails because of your stupid decision, I will definitely sue you in the Senate! ”

Marshal Yue's Big Tent spoke to a young Westerner wearing Han army armor, but with blonde hair and a high nose.

And the middle-aged man who sat behind the handsome case, smiling silently, was the supreme commander of the Yue's army this time, the Roman god of war, the "son of the sun" Rovinis.

Rovinis has a three-dimensional face that is different from that of the West, and even his hair is black like that of the Easterners, but the dark blue eyes and extremely thin lips can still distinguish the characteristics of the Westerners.

He smiled with a kind old man, at least for the young man in front of him.

Rovinis walked out from behind the case, stood beside the young man, and said with a smile: "My dearest Highness Congennes, don't worry. My order will not let this strategic plan of the Yueshi people fall through in vain. ”

The young man Conganes didn't buy it, and snorted coldly: "Your Excellency, the Yue's people's combat strength is so fragile that they can't stop the Han army at all, if they break through to the west and join up with their fifth and sixth legions, I want to know, how do you go about destroying them!" ”

Rovinis gracefully picked up the wine glass on the handsome tableβ€”the only thing out of place in this Han tentβ€”took a sip, and said, "What is our strategic intent in besieging the Third Legion, my dear Excellency Congennes?" ”

"Of course, it is to seize the baggage of the Han army, annihilate the third army of the Han army, and make the northern frontier front of the Han army only have a cavalry group of flying cavalry!" Congnes finished speaking quickly, and then instantly thought of something, pointed to the outside of the tent, and exclaimed: "Your Excellency, what do you mean ......?" ”

Rovinis's smile became even hotter, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, we have completed the two points you said, so why bother to worry about whether the Third Army of the Han Army will break through and join the other Han Army?" Although I don't know what happened, the fire must have been caused by the burning baggage of the Han army, and their main force, one surrounded by the seventh and eighth legions of the Yue clan, and the other went towards the Orkhon Valley...... Hehe, to be honest, I really hope that the commander of the Han army is among these two main forces! With that, Rovinis took another sip of red wine, letting the bitter liquid run through his taste buds, stimulating the nerves throughout his body.

"Ahh Otsukishu's wines are wonderful! Rovinis admired sincerely, turned to the young man and bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness Congennes, is it my honor to invite you to enjoy this wonderful experience with me?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and woke up from the shock just now, but shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you know, before I was eighteen years old, my father did not allow me to drink. I appreciate your kindness! ”

"Oh? That's a shame! Rovinis shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a smile: "Then let the Yue's dancer do a dance of the Orient!" ”

Conganes shook his head again and asked, "Your Excellency, I apologize to you for my recklessness just now!" It's just that I'm wondering, is this something you planned a long time ago? ”

Rovinis was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Dear Highness Congnes, do you know why I like you?" It's because you're very similar to me when I was young, all your thoughts are spent on business, and if you don't understand something, you have to ask it clearly. Hahahaha, but Your Highness, this time I'm going to tell you, no. ”

Congneschi said, "Could it be that the collapse of the Fourth Legion of the Yue Clan was not arranged by you in advance?" Seeing Rovinis shaking his head with a smile, Congenes frowned and said, "Then why did the Fourth Legion of the Yue Clan suddenly collapse?" ”

Rovinis put down his glass and smiled, "I don't know, and I don't want to know." Your Highness, Augustus has given you to me to study military affairs, so today I will teach you something new, that is, you must remember that anything can happen on the battlefield! The first thing you have to think about after something happens is 'how', not 'why'! Only the 'how' is your responsibility, and the 'why' will be told to you by someone below! Do you understand? ”

Congenes realized and nodded heavily. Then he looked up at Rovinis: "Your Excellency, if you were the commander of the Han army, what would you do?" ”

Speaking of this, Rovinis's face became cautious, pondered for a long time, and said, "To be honest, dear, I don't know. If it were me in this situation, I would choose to surrender. But before that, Prince Yue had told me that the Han army would not surrender. Although it is difficult for me to understand this kind of plot, I admire them! ”

Congenes pinched the sideburns at the corner of his forehead and muttered, "Yes, you can't even guess your Excellency?" I'm really curious, it's all cracked this day, Marshal of the Han Army, how will you make up for it? (To be continued......)
