Chapter 267: Decisive victory in the West Sea

Bayintu was indeed defeated by Ling Wuwu's Northwest Army and the Manggul Heavy Armored Cavalry, and the place of the battle was the place where the three sides held business talks at the beginning, Xihai. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Bayintu guarded the western part of the grassland mainly to prevent Manggul from moving south, but the Wolf Mountain camp was repeatedly broken through, so Bayintu had to face threats from both the Northwest Army and Manggul. As soon as the battle of the Shenlong Empire against the steppe began, Bayintu realized the seriousness of the problem. Without waiting for Su Meiduo's order, he gathered all the tribes in the western steppe together, and filled all the men who could ride into battle into the army, so that the original 300,000 cavalry of the White Wolf Division was doubled at once. Bayintu sent 200,000 new troops and 100,000 heavenly wolf cavalry to monitor Anxi City, and he himself led 200,000 heavenly wolf cavalry and 100,000 new troops to be stationed in Xihai, trying to block Ling Wuwu's northwest army.

It can be said that Bayintu Khan's foresight and command ability are second only to Jebeli among the generals of the Rong Army. His arrangement is not inconsiderate, but judging from the results of previous battles with the Northwest Army, no matter what kind of battle it is, the White Wolf Division rarely wins. The few victories were also won by luring the enemy and luring the Northwest Army into heavy encirclement. But after this trick was used once, the Northwest Army was no longer fooled. Moreover, he used the tactics of anti-decoy and anti-encirclement to fight several beautiful battles of annihilation.

Bayintu faced Ling Wuwu, the former general of the Northern Army, and the gap was obviously not made up by the bravery of the soldiers. Back then, Ling Wuwu was the long history of the Northern Army, Yan Chengyu's deputy, and he was also the best among the children of the Jiangmen family. If it weren't for Yan Chengyu being too dazzling, the commander of the Northern Army would definitely be Ling Wuwu.

In the past, generals not only represented the level of position and power, but also a sign of distinguishing talents. Some people have fought all their lives but can only be called fierce generals, wise generals or Confucian generals. And the people who can be called handsome are all geniuses who are highly intelligent and command the army to sweep the world. He may not be an outstanding martial artist, but he must be a person who can create miracles. Such a genius is rare and unattainable. The ancients usually said that a thousand armies are easy to obtain, and a general is hard to find, which refers to the wisdom and courage of the generals, and they are also the people who are most likely to be promoted to handsome talents. Ling Wuwu is such a person, on the other hand, Bayintu can only be regarded as a wise general at best. The level of the main generals of the two sides is not equal, so this battle for control of the western grassland is destined to be controlled everywhere by Bayintu from the beginning.

Sure enough, when Sima Changfeng conquered the Wolf Mountain camp, Ling Wuwu led the Northwest Army to drive straight into the West Sea. Xihai is an important transit point of the western trade route, and it is also the only way to Anxi City, and its strategic location is extremely important, so it is also the focus of contention between the two sides.

Bayintu has 300,000 soldiers in the West Sea, and he is waiting day and night, wanting to fight with Ling Wuwu. Unexpectedly, Ling Wuwu did not adopt a fierce offensive posture as soon as he came up, but maneuvered in front of Bayintu's defense line with 100,000 cavalry, choosing weak points from time to time to launch fierce attacks, and never fell in love with battle after a successful blow. In this way, the 100,000 mobile troops that Bayintu had placed behind the defensive line were mobilized back and forth, and they were exhausted.

Bayintu's long-awaited strategic decisive battle has never materialized. And Ling Wuwu did this in order to contain Bayintu's 300,000 army. It was not that Ling Wuwu did not want to fight a decisive battle, but because of the lack of troops. Ling Wuwu only has 200,000 Northwest Iron Cavalry in his hands, and in the face of the 300,000 Heavenly Wolf Cavalry who are already ready for defense, if he fights hard, the loss is too great, and it is not in line with Ling Wuwu's consistent style. Therefore, Ling Wuwu adopted the tactics of pinning down the enemy army with half of his strength and attacking the gathering place of the Rong tribe in the western steppe by surprise.

You must know that Bayintu gathered all the tribes of the western steppe together in order to better protect the tribes, and also to let the tribes help guard the grain and grass materials. Thus, the gathering place of the ministries is in fact the logistics base of Bayintu. It is a fool's act to take advantage of the logistics base and not to fight it, but to fight to the death with an army of 300,000. Ling Wuwu is obviously not stupid, and in Bayintu's words, Ling Wuwu is the fox of the grassland, cunning and cunning. Therefore, Ling Wuwu sent 20,000 cavalry to attack the gathering place of each department, and this battle caught each department by surprise.

Under the bombardment of round after round of mortar shells, the huge gathering place was ablaze everywhere, a large amount of grain and grass was burned, and countless troops fell under artillery fire, horses' hooves and long knives.

When Bayintu got the news, he led 100,000 heavenly wolf horsemen to the rescue, but in this way, he happened to break into the ambush circle that Ling Wuwu had already arranged. After a bloody battle, more than ninety percent of the 100,000 Heavenly Wolf Riders were lost, and Bayintu had to return to the West Sea with a few rescued supplies and troops.

Taking advantage of the victory in the first battle, Ling Wuwu divided the troops into several combat detachments of 10,000 people, and launched a day and night attack on Bayintu. The steppe wolf's tactics were vividly played by Ling Wuwu, but Bayintu passively faced the battle, giving up the advantages of the wolf riding a large group and high mobility, and was beaten by Ling Wuwu's nose, Bayintu is now being beaten in a circle.

When Bayintu came to his senses, he immediately shrank his forces to deal with Ling Wuwu's harassment. At this time, there were only 1780,000 left in the 300,000 army, and the gap in strength between the two sides was flattened by Ling Wuwu.

Bayintu admired and resented Ling Wuwu, and in a hurry, he organized an army of more than 100,000 people together and rushed out of the defense line to chase and kill the combat detachments of the Northwest Army, so as to stop Ling Wuwu's attack. But will Ling Wuwu be helpless? Apparently not.

Ling Wuwu was waiting for this opportunity, he used several combat detachments as bait to lure Bayintu's army into a pre-set ambush circle, these ambush circles were one by one, and the tactics of leaving after the fight and taking advantage of it were withdrawn, that is, not to confront Bayintu head-on. Ling Wuwu called this tactic "skinning tactics", and every time Bayintu's army entered an ambush circle, it was like being stripped of a layer of skin. In this way, the pickpocketing tactics of the Northwest Army under Ling Wuwu became more and more proficient, and Bayintu's army became less and less. Until Bayintu only had 100,000 troops left under his command, in the face of the 178,000 Northwest Army surrounded on all sides, Bayintu was left with only sighs.

In desperation, Bayintu had to draw 100,000 troops from the 300,000 troops who were monitoring the city of Anxi to help in the battle. But to Bayintu's surprise, the 300,000 troops were also dragged in place by Manggul and Anxi's army. When Bayintu learned that Manggul had dispatched 200,000 heavily armored cavalry, with Duke Rommel as his commander. When the Anxi army dispatched 100,000 cavalry, with Tailim as its general, Bayintu's head was big.

To be honest, Bayintu is very afraid of Ling Wuwu, this old guy is too cunning and too good at fighting. Fighting against Ling Wuwu, if you don't use your brain, it will be a death. Bayintu is also afraid of Rommel, that is, the second Ling Wuwu, these two old guys together can play Bayintu to death. But Bayintu is most afraid of Tailim, this veteran is an out-and-out fierce general and a wise general. The efficiency of those two wheel axes to kill people is not ordinarily high. What's even more terrifying is that this old guy is thinking about how to fight and how to kill people efficiently when he has nothing to do. If you don't have great skills, you won't have a good fruit to eat when you encounter Tairim.

Bayintu thought that the 300,000 army could support ten and a half days, but he didn't expect that it only took Rommel and Tairim half a day to eat the 300,000 army with dry claws and no armor left. This is not to say that the 300,000 people are all waste, the key is that among the 300,000 people, there are only 100,000 Sky Wolf Cavalry with strong combat power, and the remaining 200,000 are new troops. The old and the young are different, and the combat power is uneven, so how can it be cheap to take advantage of the elite heavy armor cavalry of Manggul and the axe cavalry of Tailimu. At this time, the Northwest Army completely overwhelmed Bayintu's troops in all aspects, and the decisive battle had not yet begun, and the results were already clear at a glance.

Bayintu judged the situation and decided to preserve his strength, so he set the goal of the decisive battle as the whole army to break through and bring as many troops out of the encirclement as possible.

In the early morning of the next day, the decisive battle of the West Sea began. Bayintu's nearly 100,000 troops formed a huge front array, aimed in the direction of the Great Khan's royal city, and when the horn sounded, the 100,000 army suddenly accelerated towards the northwest army.

Ling Wuwu immediately discovered Bayintu's attempt, and he immediately ordered the entire army to press it. One side wants to seize the road and flee, and the other side is desperately blocking. The two sides totaled nearly 300,000 troops and launched a fierce duel in the West Sea.

Bayintu made up his mind this time not to divide his troops, and the 100,000-strong army formed a group and rushed forward in a rolling torrent, unstoppable. Ling Wuwu's army revolved around Bayintu's army, and cannonballs, crossbow arrows, and wolf's tooth arrows were scattered as if they were not paying for money, and Bayintu's army fell five or six thousand people every time it turned. For no other reason, the formation of the Sky Wolf Rider was too dense, and the power of the shell explosion increased exponentially.

In this moment of life and death, the riding and archery advantage of the Sky Wolf Rider was brought into full play, and both sides were shooting at each other in rapid motion, and the arrows in the sky above the battlefield were dense enough to collide in the air. The soldiers on both sides generally planted dumplings from their horses, and there was no password sound on the battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides could only stare at their respective battle flags and order flags, so the warring sides fought from the West Sea to the grassland.

Bayintu's army suffered heavy losses, but still stubbornly advanced forward. At this moment, no matter which side gritted its teeth and desperately insisted, in comparison, the pressure on the Northwest Army was much less. After all, the Northwest Army had superior strength and well-equipped, and Ling Wuwu's command was uncertain, and the balance of victory and defeat was more and more inclined to the Northwest Army.

Just when Bayintu's army was about to be unable to attack, an army of about forty or fifty thousand men rushed from the northwest, and when Bayintu saw the full moon golden wolf banner in front of this team, he was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Warriors, our reinforcements have arrived, and the whole army is approaching them." ”

The Sky Wolf Riders erupted in cheers, and their momentum skyrocketed. Ling Wuwu was very surprised when he saw it, because Yan Hui had told him before the battle that Manggul would send troops to assist to ensure that no reinforcements would arrive in the decisive battle. But now that the reinforcements from Ronglu have really arrived, it seems that this battle will not be able to be completed.

"Soldiers of the Shenlong Empire, what if the enemy's reinforcements come, our Northwest Army is an invincible male division formed by His Majesty himself, and no matter how many wolf cubs come, we can kill them all. The Dragon Empire wins! The Northwest Army wins! Your Majesty wins! ”

Under the encouragement of Ling Wuwu, the soldiers of the Northwest Army burst out with a soaring heroism, and the soldiers launched a more fierce attack, and Ling Wuwu personally led 20,000 cavalry to kill the reinforcements of Rongyu. When the two sides were getting closer and closer, the Rong cavalry suddenly turned around, avoiding Ling Wuwu's 20,000 iron cavalry and fled. Bayintu and his men were taken aback by this scene, and when they saw the hundreds of thousands of heavily armored cavalry following behind the support army, as well as the blue Gripen flag, the hope that had just been raised was instantly shattered. It turned out that this was not a reinforcement, but a rout army that was chased and beaten by others. Hope was shattered, courage was lost, if Bayintu had not been rushing to the front, the Sky Wolf Rider at this time would have collapsed long ago.

"Warriors, don't be disappointed, kill out, kill out!"

Bayintu adjusted his direction, seized the gap after Ling Wuwu took away 20,000 people, led the army to a desperate assault, and finally rushed out of a bloody way under the heavy interception. Bayintu urged his horse to catch up with the defeated army and killed the captain at the head, so that he could control the troops. And the original 100,000 heavenly wolf riders who followed him were able to break out of the encirclement alive less than 10,000.

"Listen, everyone, don't pause, the goal of the Great Khan City is speeding up."

More than 50,000 defeated soldiers followed Bayintu and fled in panic towards the city of the Great Khan. Ling Wuwu saw Duke Rommel and Terim at this time, and Ling Wuwu just wanted to express his gratitude, but unexpectedly, Duke Rommel apologized again and again.

"I'm so sorry, General Ling. It was all the commander's command mistake that caused the captives to interfere with your battle. Without saying anything, Ben Shuai immediately pursued and killed Rong Ling, this time Ben Shuai's troops were in front. ”

After finishing speaking, Rommel led the army to chase down, Ling Wuwu didn't know why, he looked at Tai Limu and asked what was going on, Tai Limu laughed and said: "Don't ask so much, it has nothing to do with Lao Long, it was caused by the girl behind him making trouble." ”

"Well, it's the king's fault, please forgive General Ling. But isn't it time to pursue the captives? ”

Ling Wuwu was dizzy by the little girl in front of him, who was wearing gorgeous armor and a golden crown on her battle helmet, and looked like a fairy. Who is this, the king?

"Ahem, I'm King Mangul, okay, don't worry about it so much, it's important to pursue the enemy. Manggul, forward! ”

This little girl's tender little voice must be very good at singing, but shouting such a heroic slogan made Ling Wuwu want to laugh a little. But the heavily armored cavalry burst out into earth-shattering shouts.

"Manggul, forward!"

Ling Wuwu was sure that this little girl was really the king. Ling Wuwu left people to clean up the battlefield, and after reorganizing the soldiers and horses, he also killed the Great Khan King City. (To be continued.) )
