Chapter 328: Attack from both sides
The Yan army's iron cavalry ran long distances from Selangor City, and speed was their advantage, even if there were scouts on the side of the road, it was absolutely impossible to return in time to inform the Huaibei army to prepare. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is conceivable that when countless of them polished their sabers and raised them, the faces of the Han people in the Central Plains would inevitably be full of fear, and fear would turn into fear until their heads were in a different place.
Wei Wei had used this tactic to annihilate many small tribes that did not obey, as well as some rebellious thieves and rebels on the Yan land, he didn't think there was any difference between the Han people in the Central Plains, and even said that it should be even weaker.
Even if we don't talk about self-confidence, from the theory of the so-called way of using troops, they still have an advantage.
The area west of Selangor City is mountainous and hilly, and the Hu people's iron cavalry cannot give full play to their greatest advantage, and the tactics of speed and impact are simply not feasible.
But on the south bank of the Yellow River, the vast plains, were the most advantageous battlefield for cavalry warfare, and any enemy who dared to challenge the authority of cavalry would pay the price of blood in such a place.
Han Yan is a Han Chinese, as the general of the Yan army, he does not have the recklessness of the Hu people, he feels that he can go up, and the Huaibei army must eat, but the problem is how to eat, how can they say that there are also 40,000 people, fighting head-on, Han Yan is confident that he will be completely defeated, and even as long as 20,000 or 30,000 iron cavalry is enough to achieve enough impact on the Huaibei army.
But his own side will definitely not be good, Han Yan is worried that the matter of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred will happen, before the king of Yan does not go south, he must hold Selangor, meet the world of the king, and before that, the Huaibei army can not consume too much military strength, he also has to retain his strength as much as possible, in the face of the possible king of Wu, the king of Chu and other major forces in the south, Han Yan thinks very long-term, so the Huaibei army can only be an appetizer for him.
The design was to send them to the south bank of the Yellow River, divide their army, and attack from the north and south banks, so as to completely annihilate the Huaibei army.
Han Yan thought very well, Wei Wei also executed very well, they felt that as long as the Huaibei army really went to the south bank of the Yellow River, even if they sensed the intentions of the Yan army, they would not be able to return to the sky, even if none of their tens of thousands of people died on the boat to go to the north bank and line up against the water?
Learning from Han Xin is too superficial, and the cavalry's incomprehension will make them taste that no matter how hard they struggle, it will be a dead end.
However, to Wei Wei's surprise, when their cavalry arrived at the predetermined position, it was very different from their imagination, and the Huaibei army neither panicked because of their appearance, nor waited for a big fight, nothing, because there was no one.
It's not quite accurate to say this, because although there is no one, the things of the Huaibei Army are left here, horses, and some baggage supplies.
The Huaibei Army has cavalry, but it can't be compared with the iron cavalry in the land of Yanhu in terms of quality and quantity.
It is these donkeys are now abandoned near the south bank of the Yellow River, leisurely eating grass, after the Yan army came, raised a pair of big donkey eyes, looked at these compatriots who were taller than them, and thought to themselves Where did the brothers come from, come and come to eat grass together, the grass here is still quite sweet.
Seeing only these, a huge question mark appeared on Wei Wei's face, this is not the same as the result Han Yan expected, it is completely different, according to reason, when faced with such a dead end, the Huaibei army either does not know, according to the arrangement, send half of the army to cross the river by boat, or anticipate the intentions of their Yan army, the team is ready to fight, no matter what the situation appears, Han Yan's explanation to him is enough to deal with it.
But what the hell is it right now? The Huaibei army disappeared, leaving behind horses and supplies and running away?
No, it's not. There are plains around here, and if you run, you won't leave a trace at all. There must be sporadic soldiers around, and not a single person in sight at all.
"General Wei, look." The lieutenant behind him pointed to the river in the distance, where dozens of building boats sailed down and headed downstream to the north bank. "It seems that all the Huaibei troops are on board."
"All on board..." Wei Wei looked at the buildings and muttered. "What the hell are they trying to do."
Wei Wei couldn't figure it out, not only did he abandon his horses, but also boarded the ship, could it be that he realized that their 20,000 iron horsemen were going to kill them, so that he wanted to take a boat to hide on the north shore, if this was the case, then their results would be even more miserable.
Wei Wei snorted coldly, pulled the horse rope, and wanted to turn the horse back, in his opinion, the stupidity and cowardice of the Huaibei Army had buried everything for them after all.
As he turned back, a huge roar sounded on the north bank in the distance, the Yan artillery that had been waiting on the north bank for a long time, after all, began to vent their anger, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the land, among them, countless iron balls fell towards the building boat on the river, the boat on the river, that is the live target, which is the boat that the Yan soldiers have prepared for the Huaibei Army for a long time, there are no counterattack props, and the range of the bow and arrow can not reach the distance of the artillery.
This is a massacre, a massacre without any resistance, the building ship is very large, but it is extremely heavy, it is very difficult to turn around, when their fragile hull is opened by the artillery, the boiling water of the Yellow River is pouring into the hull, and after that, no matter how big the building boat, will be gradually swallowed by the raging Yellow River.
The ship sank, all of them sank so much, the people of Yandi are not good at shipbuilding, Qi people can build ships, these are given to Yan Wang by the King of Qi, the Hu people of Yandi originally felt that this big thing was useless, crossing the river or something, just make do with a small boat, and the war still depends on the sharpness of the cavalry, but I didn't expect that at this time, those buildings that originally thought it was useless came in handy, but that's all.
Wei Wei shrugged his shoulders, in his opinion, with the sinking of the ships, the Huaibei army was destroyed in this way, although there was some regret, because Wei Wei originally wanted to fight, staying in the city all day, it was really not his character, I thought that today could make his own blood boil a little, but I didn't expect to come here, I didn't meet anything, no one, catch some donkeys and go back, at most improve the food for a few days, as for the credit, it is estimated that it was taken away by Dongfang He on the north shore, it is really unlucky.
Thinking of this, Wei Wei scolded secretly, he felt that Dongfang and luck were good.
Dongfang He is another general of the Yan Army, as the commander of the artillery battalion, this time he was arranged on the north bank, as long as those people of the Huaibei Army entered the firing range by boat, they would pull out the artillery and hit it fiercely, and he didn't care about the rest, he didn't know what Wei Wei was thinking now, although Dongfang He didn't encounter any problems in artillery, but he was a little uneasy because of a strange phenomenon.
