Chapter 934: Cavalry Torrent
If there was a main force behind, Wang Yue would not have so much pressure, but he knew that he was a lone army, and Wang Yue had to act cautiously.
He said to the spy, "Order the scouts to increase the detective range." ”
"Yes." The spies took the order and left.
"Well, how long is it going to take?" Wang Shuang complained a little.
The cavalry march was not fast, and Wang Yue was not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, because it would take time for the main army to go to the northeast of Youzhou to arrange a pocket formation.
At this moment, only to hear a "wow" sound from the sky, the two eagles circled for a while, each running in two directions, left and right.
"General, there are ambushes." King Mulu ran over from behind and said, because the vanguard army must win this time, so for insurance, Liu Zhang sent King Mulu out to accompany the army and use eagles to reconnoiter at high altitude.
"Send the horses to follow the eagles at once." Wang Yue immediately ordered, and the two knights waved their horsewhips and followed the direction of the eagle.
After a while, the horse came back and reported: "Report to the general, I found that a large force of cavalry was stationed twelve miles away. ”
"Report to the general, I found that a large force of cavalry was stationed twelve miles away."
"Ambush soldiers in two directions, twelve miles." Wang Yue smiled: "This Kebineng is really as cunning as a fox, I know that the general scouting horse only explores five or ten miles, so it is ambushed for twelve miles, what is the name of the terrain in front?" ”
"Slanted slope." A young general who is familiar with the terrain returns.
"Since it's a slope, isn't the terrain undulating, just right for a two-way assault?"
Seeing the soldier nodding, Wang Yue said: "I see, they just want us to enter the slope and then attack suddenly." Attack us on the advantage of the situation. ”
"What are you afraid of?" Wang Shuang said loudly: "What kind of slope is not a cliff. With the strength of our army. Walking on the ground, afraid of his surprise attack. ”
Wang Shuang knew the power of Dawan horses, when he received the training task, he was really startled when he saw the galloping of Dawan horses, and every war horse was equivalent to a good horse in the Central Plains.
The cavalry composed of such war horses is in Wang Shuang's heart. It's simply invincible. Not to mention a small slope, as long as it is not vertical, Wang Shuang feels that he can rush up.
"No matter how strong you are, you can't waste your troops."
Wang Yue used to travel all over the north and south of the river, how could he not know the value of Dawan horses, even if the Sichuan army is now equipped with tens of thousands of Dawan cavalry, but this may be the savings of Dawan for decades and hundreds of years, it seems to be a lot, if it is wasted, it will be distressing.
"What is the extent of the lookout slope and where will we cross?" Wang Yue asked.
The young general who was familiar with the terrain said: "The slope is not very undulating. The range is wide, if our army marches in a straight line. It's basically in the center, with upward terrain on both sides. ”
Wang Yue nodded, thinking in his heart that Xianbei had chosen such an inconspicuous battlefield but completely superior to Xianbei cavalry, obviously using the horsepower that rushed over madly, to defeat the Sichuan army in one fell swoop and achieve a quick victory.
When the Sichuan army marched in a straight line, the Xianbei cavalry on both sides would inevitably approach and accelerate and charge towards the Sichuan army.
"General." Wang Shuangdao: "Since you don't want to suffer, let's take a detour, divide into two roads, and defeat the ambush, on the flat ground, the Xianbei army is not our army's opponent." ”
Wang Yue echoed and asked Ma Chao and Zhao Yun: "What do you generals mean?" ”
Ma Chao said: "General Wang's suggestion is nothing peculiar. ”
"Ma Mengqi, you ......" Wang Shuangsheng blushed.
"I have a peculiar plan, do you think it is feasible for the generals?" Wang Yue discussed with Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and others for a while, and said to Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and others: "If this method is successful, it can annihilate the Xianbei army to the greatest extent, but it depends on the cavalry command ability of the generals, can it be done?" ”
"I'm fine." Zhao Yun said in a deep voice with a silver spear.
"I'm fine." Ma Chao said confidently, the cavalry is as good as his own hands to him, and he can command as much as he wants.
Wang Shuang looked left and right, and said in a deep voice: "I just feel a little aggrieved to retreat before fighting, other ...... Of course I don't have a problem. ”
"Okay, change formation immediately and move forward."
The rangers conveyed Wang Yue's orders, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun returned to their original positions, and the entire Sichuan cavalry formation changed in general and flowed, with Dawan riding in front, archers in the middle, and heavy cavalry in the back, pulling into a marching team that stretched for several miles, and a large number of rangers were released to monitor the movements on both sides.
"Report." A Xianbei scout rode to report to the Bi Neng military camp, hit his chest with his right hand, and said loudly: "Tell the king, the Sichuan army has begun to enter the slope, half an hour ago, the Sichuan army adjusted its formation, and Huang Zhongzhong's heavy cavalry was dragged last. ”
"It seems that the Sichuan army wants to march quickly, this Wang Yue, who thinks he is strong in martial arts, doesn't he take our army in his eyes at all? The king is going to let him remember it for a long time this time. ”
Kebi Neng groaned slightly: "If Huang Zhong's heavy cavalry is in front, the oblique slope may be able to reduce the momentum of the heavy cavalry, but our army will suffer great damage, and I didn't expect to be dragged to the end, then we have no scruples, give the order." ”
"Yes."
"Immediately order the left side of the foot to return to the mud, the right side of Suli and Wuhuan troops, with a small number of troops to contain Huang Zhong's heavy cavalry in a swimming way, and the rest of the soldiers and horses to defeat the Sichuan army in one fell swoop at the fastest speed."
"Yes."
"The whole army obeys orders and prepares to attack." Kebi can shout, and the Xianbei people in the rear have carried bows and knives on their horses, and their scimitars are held high.
"Oh, oh, oh." The Xianbei army has a high fighting spirit.
Kebi was able to ride a tall horse, and looked coldly at the endless grassland ahead, "The Long Snake Formation March, isn't this a gift to my army to be cut in half?" Wang Yue, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wang Shuang, and the famous generals of the Jiechuan Army, it seems that this time a famous general will be annihilated. ”
The 30,000 horsemen of the Xianbei Kebi Neng Department slowly approached the slope of the oblique view, with a heavy killing intent.
"The Sichuan army entered the slope for three miles."
"The Sichuan army entered the oblique slope for five miles."
"The Sichuan army went deep into the hinterland of the slope, and the Xianbei cavalry on both sides of our side began to accelerate."
News keeps coming back. Kebi Neng drew his scimitar and said loudly: "Xianbei warriors, the time has come to take revenge, kill me." ”
The sound of horses' hooves changed from sparse to dense, shaking the earth in an instant.
Xianbei Kebi energy department, step root department, Suli department. Discharge back to the mud department. Wuhuan Department. Attack at full speed towards the slope together.
Looking down from the sky to the oblique slope, the entire oblique slope is covered with soldiers and horses, and the Sichuan army flows into the oblique slope like a thin and long river.
On the left, right, and front of the Sichuan army, countless alien cavalry converged towards the Sichuan army, and they were accelerating faster and faster under the acceleration of the slope.
Finally, Kebineng could already see the front of the Sichuan army's marching column. Budugen, Guiguini, Suli, and Wuhuan also appeared in sight, almost equidistant from the Sichuan army no more than five miles away.
Perfect siege.
With the long march of the Sichuan army, the alien rider is like a pair of scissors, but the strip of cloth of the Sichuan army can be cut in an instant, and the Sichuan army can't run away if it wants to.
The speed of the Xianbei cavalry was completely raised, and he charged towards the Sichuan army at the fastest speed. Kebineng is to use the moment of maximum horsepower to cut the Sichuan army to pieces in one fell swoop.
That's when it happened. Kebi Neng suddenly saw that there seemed to be a change in the Sichuan army in front of him, a Xianbei outpost came on a flying horse, and the skillful Le turned the horse and galloped with Kebi Neng, while riding the horse and giving a report.
"King, the Sichuan army changed formation, and the army in front suddenly turned back and retreated to the rear."
"What? Fall back? Is Wang Yue kidding? Kebi Neng snorted: "Retreat at this time, doesn't Wang Yue think it's too late?" ”
At this distance, Xianbei can be reached in the blink of an eye, and a sudden retreat at this time is simply a mess.
"Wait." Kebineng suddenly grasped the key: "You said that the Sichuan army is the front to spread and retreat to the two wings, not the rear team to the front team to retreat?" ”
"Yes, King."
"Hahahahaha." Kebi Neng laughed, the galloping war horse sent the laughter into the distance, Kebi Neng said loudly: "Wang Yue, although the martial arts are high, but I don't know cavalry combat at all, if it weren't for the fact that my Xianbei army was paralyzed by Zhe Lanying twice in the way of betraying his father, with a fool like Wang Yue, how could it be the opponent of my Xianbei warriors, this battle, the Sichuan army will be annihilated, hahahaha." ”
Kebi can be accustomed to cavalry combat, how can he not understand that cavalry crossing is a taboo in cavalry combat, the retreat of the Sichuan army did not change the rear army to the front army, obviously because the heavy cavalry behind one person and two horses dragged heavy equipment can not run fast.
The front army retreated from the two wings, and the whole formation was in chaos, and as long as the left and right Xianbei cavalry rushed, the Sichuan army would impact the inner encirclement after the periphery was chaotic, so that the whole army was in chaos.
Originally, the Xianbei cavalry had the chance to win the half-cut tactic, so that the loss of the Xianbei cavalry would be smaller, and the possibility of the Sichuan army being completely annihilated was greatly increased.
"There is no need to reserve horsepower, the whole army charges."
Kebineng let out a loud shout, picked up the scimitar and rushed out first.
The 140,000 alien riders finally saw that they were finally about to converge, and the sound of horses' hooves boiled on the slope like a torrential rain.
But at this moment, Kebi Neng slightly noticed that something was wrong, at such a distance, the cavalry on the left and right sides did not complete the waist cut, and most of the cavalry scattered on the two wings in front of the Sichuan army had withdrawn to the rear, passing by the outflanked Xianbei cavalry.
"How can it be so fast?" Kebi Neng was shocked, but he couldn't think too much about it, after all, there were still some Sichuan cavalry who didn't run out, and at this time, the three Xianbei cavalry were already nearly a stone's throw away.
The Xianbei cavalry raised their bows and arrows from behind and prepared for the first round of projectiles.
"Whoosh."
At this moment, the arrows of the Xianbei cavalry had not yet been shot, and suddenly sharp arrows were shot from the cavalry of the Sichuan army that had not completely retreated, and the sharp arrows were in the air, covering the sky and the sun.
"Ahh
"Hiss~"
The Xianbei cavalry turned on his back, the war horse was out of control, and the Xianbei cavalry, which was diving down at full speed, rolled out dozens of meters away.
"How can an arrow be so far away? Could it be...... Impossible, isn't there only more than a thousand archers in the Sichuan army? How can there be so many? ”
Xianbei cavalry occupies a favorable geographical position, and it stands to reason that the bow and arrow should shoot farther than the Sichuan army, but the fact is that the bow and arrow of the Sichuan army are much farther than the Xianbei cavalry.
And those arrow rains are basically not projectiles, they are accurate flat shots, and flat shots are more effective than projectile blocking, but if the distance is long, this requires extremely powerful bows and arrows to do.
Now the Sichuan army archers can launch a flat shot from a place of arrows, and seeing that those Xianbei horses are immediately pierced after being hit by arrows, Ke Bineng is really shocked by the range of the Sichuan army's bows and arrows.
Kebi was suspicious, and the cavalry of the Sichuan army in front continued to flee, and the central cavalry continued to retreat to the rear of the two wings like a river, and at the same time pulled the bow and stripped the strings, and the dense rain of flat arrows swept away a large area.
The Xianbei cavalry that charged ahead was quickly washed in blood.
Kebi Neng faintly felt that something was wrong, but at this time, he couldn't be distracted, so he could only fight to the end and lead the whole army to rush over.
Under the cover of a dense rain of arrows, the Sichuan archers and cavalry had just escaped from the gap in the Xianbei cavalry encirclement like loaches.
"Chase."
"Kill."
Budugen, Gui Mu, Su Li and other Xianbei leaders, seeing the Sichuan army fleeing, only thought that victory was in sight, and immediately shouted to pursue the Sichuan army.
"Whoosh."
The Sichuan army archers marched all the way, immediately turned around and shot arrows, countless arrow rain like sharp teeth in front of the forklift, shooting towards the Xianbei horse, the arrow rain with a strong whistling sound, every Xianbei horse that was shot, was pierced.
The Xianbei cavalry kept falling off the horse, but not a single Sichuan cavalry was killed, and finally some Xianbei soldiers couldn't help it, obviously the distance was not enough to lift the bow and arrow to shoot, but no matter whether it was flat and thrown, the arrows fell in the air.
Only those sharpshooters with amazing arm strength can barely shoot their bows and arrows, but their lethality is really limited.
"That's not right." Kebineng finally frowned, Xianbei rode perfectly encircled, but now the Sichuan army is retreating perfectly, and such a retreat is obviously orderly.
Even if many things are beyond Kebineng's understanding, that is, why the cavalry in front of the Sichuan army can run so fast, spreading and retreating to the two wings is not chaotic at all, and this archer has such a long range of bows and arrows.
But Kobi Neng really felt as if he had been fooled.
At this moment, the last bit of the Sichuan army's archers began to flee on horseback, revealing the rear cavalry of the Sichuan army, which Ke Bi could know, it was Huang Zhong's heavy cavalry.
But what Kebi didn't expect was ......
"Oh my God, the heavy cavalry didn't try to retreat, they were equipped?"
Kebineng exclaimed, and the other Xianbei riders also gasped, and in front of them were 20,000 fully equipped heavy cavalry, and the heavy armor glowed with a cold metallic light on the vast grassland.
These ancient armored troops, with an incomparably heavy sense of oppression, enveloped the entire Xianbei army with killing intent.
In the retreat of the front team of Dawan cavalry and squadron archers on two wings, the heavy cavalry changed their clothes in the middle of the "escaped" Sichuan cavalry, the heavy armor got on the horse, the Dawan cavalry and the archers completed the retreat, and the heavy cavalry had already completed their redress.
Looking at the heavy cavalry of the Sichuan army that could only be seen from the blindfold, Kebi could look at the Xianbei cavalry on his side again, the so-called encirclement was really encircled, and now the Xianbei cavalry in three directions had been concentrated in one place.
If the heavy cavalry charges......
"Tread, step, step."
Huang Zhong raised his sword, and the heavy cavalry began to ride their horses, start, and charge.
"The squadron retreats, the rear team changes to the front team, retreats."
At this time, encountering so many heavy cavalry, Kebineng knew what the consequences would be even if he was a fool, and now he still had a glimmer of hope and only ordered the squadron to retreat. (To be continued......)
