Chapter 570: Absolute Decision

When Li Feng was fighting fiercely with Ouyang Jianqiang's Imperial Forest Army, the Yanggu Valley fifty miles away from the battlefield fell, and the 20,000 cavalry who crossed the mountain wind were blocked by the wind and snow, and were camped here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info half a day later, Guo Shanfeng got the news of the battle between Li Feng and the cavalry of the Royal Forest Army in his own Chinese army tent.

Although the most important reason is because of the obstruction of the wind and snow, a large part of it is because of the rapid advance of his cavalry, and the distance between him and Wang Qinian's infantry group is too far, and the two sides cannot effectively form a cooperation, and the enemy that the mountain wind is about to encounter is an army with tens of thousands of troops and complete infantry and cavalry, and Zhang Aimin, the commander of the army, is not incompetent. This made him have to be careful.

Although since the army, in addition to Bai Mountaineer suffered a big loss, the mountain wind is basically invincible, never suffered a big loss, but just like the literati, the more knowledge you learn, the more clearly you can perceive your own shortcomings, the mountain wind is no longer the original kind of general who fought with a single blood, a courage to fight, with more and more troops under his command, the pressure on his shoulders is also increasing, I think when he was in Fuyuan, he just took hundreds of scouts, Even if it fails, there will not be much loss, and now, as a heavy general in Dingzhou, commanding thousands of troops and horses, a mistake in decision-making is the blood and lives of thousands of soldiers, which makes the mountain wind a lot more cautious.

20,000 cavalry, against Zhang Aimin's 50,000 or 60,000 troops, is not without fighting, but the mountain wind knows that if the cavalry encounters the well-disciplined and brave infantry, it is not as ordinary people imagine that they can defeat the opponent with one blow, which has been fully reflected in the early battle between Dingzhou and the barbarians.

At the beginning, the combat effectiveness of the barbarian cavalry was not weak, but when it encountered the Dingzhou infantry with a will like steel, once it could not disrupt the infantry phalanx and fell into the swamp of the opponent's sea of people, the cavalry without speed was simply the felt of the infantry formed by spearmen, shield soldiers, and long knife soldiers.

Guo Feng was reluctant to repeat the mistakes of the barbarian cavalry, because judging from the early battles between the Minzhou soldiers and the Yizhou soldiers, the fighting will of this army was quite tenacious.

When Zhang Aimin had no way to go, he had become a turtle in Weng, and he was reluctant to take the risk of grabbing the head of this fish, and now for him, he no longer needed to use these credits to prove himself, and it was the most correct choice to defeat the enemy more securely, and he was more willing to wait for Wang Qinian's infantry group to arrive, and Dingzhou horses and feet cooperated, and the world was invincible.

Once Wang Qinian arrives, the strength of the two sides will be equal, and the advantages of the Dingzhou soldiers will be fully brought into play.

But at this time, there was news of a fierce battle between Li Feng and Ouyang Jianqiang.

After inquiring in detail about the fighting situation of the two sides, the mountain wind frowned, and there were questions lingering in his heart, and he could not get an answer for a while, and paced back and forth in the tent, his brows twisted into a Sichuan character.

"General, Li Feng's Yizhou battalion only has 6,000 people, but Ouyang Jianqiang has 10,000 people, the Royal Forest Army has good combat effectiveness, and it has an absolute advantage in numbers, I'm afraid that General Li Feng won't be able to please him." Su Qi said.

Jiang Heiniu also nodded and said: "General Guo, the marshal has always valued General Li Feng very much, and cultivated in many ways, although General Li Feng is brave, but after all, he is young, in case of loss, the marshal is not easy to explain, should we go to support immediately?" ”

Guoshan Feng raised his palm, shook it, and said, "I'm thinking, the 10,000 cavalry of the Royal Forest Army fought with Li Feng, where did Zhang Aimin's Minzhou soldiers go?" If Zhang Aimin had sent a few battalions of infantry to cooperate with Ouyang Jianqiang to fight, Li Feng would have been defeated a long time ago, and it would not be that he was still in a stalemate, why? What does Zhang Aimin want to do, and where are the others? ”

Pulled the map over and spread it on the case, looked at the map in confusion, and said, "Hei Niu, if you are Zhang Aimin, what do you want to do most now?" ”

Jiang Heiniu smiled and said: "General, do you need to say this, of course you are racking your brains to run away?" Seeing that we are about to be heavily encircled, is he still here waiting to die? ”

"Yes, he was going to run, but why didn't he run after defeating Li Feng's trailing cavalry? He threw out the Imperial Forest Army to stop Li Feng, what did he get? "The mountain wind murmured.

After a while, he said over the mountain: "If I were Zhang Aimin and threw out 10,000 Imperial Forest Army to block Li Feng's Yizhou Battalion, according to common sense, it would be difficult for Li Feng's Yizhou Battalion to defeat these 10,000 cavalry, even if Li Feng was undefeated, the best result could only be a stalemate, just like now, then, on the day the Dingzhou soldiers arrived, if they didn't have a detailed inspection, the first reaction should be to support Li Feng and completely eat Ouyang Jianqiang's 10,000 Royal Forest Army, if you want to completely annihilate and defeat these 10,000 people, it is not something that can be done in two or three days!" I see, Zhang Aimin is stalling for time! ”

Guo Feng raised his head, "Yes, he is using this 10,000 Royal Forest Army to stall for time." Create an opportunity for his Minzhou soldiers to escape! ”

"Escape? Where can they flee? Jiang Heiniu looked at the map, "General Guo, I don't think Zhang Aimin is a dead end, he only has two ways, either turn back and fight to the death with Li Sizhi's waiting master, or come over and fight to the death with us!" ”

"No, no!" The mountain wind waved his hand, "He still has a way!" Fingers poked heavily in one place, "Here, his way out is here!" ”

"Dacang Mountain!" Jiang Heiniu and Su Qi both screamed in shock, "This is impossible, in this season, climbing over the Great Snow Mountain is no different from suicide." ”

"Why can't it be?" Guoshan Feng sneered, "Zhang Aimin thought very clearly, whether they turned back or ran into us head-on, they were short of food and clothing, and they were cut off from logistics, they were all wiped out, but if they crossed Dacang Mountain, if they were lucky, maybe they could still preserve a large part of their strength." Dacang Mountain is indeed a natural danger in this season, and no army has ever been able to climb over Dacang Mountain in winter, but no one has done it, it doesn't mean that it can't be done, and it is greatly unexpected by all expectations, haven't you also thought of it? This is enough to prove that Zhang Aimin's idea is successful, the strong man broke his wrist, and Zhang Aimin is so courageous. ”

"But general, Zhang Aimin threw out 10,000 Imperial Forest Army as bait, this is the Son of Heaven's own army, even if Zhang Aimin escapes, he is not afraid that the Apocalypse will settle accounts with him in the future?" Su Qi asked.

The mountain wind laughed, "Zhang Aimin doesn't think so, he has 50,000 Minzhou soldiers, even if only half of them survive, there are still 20,000 people, these 20,000 people will be reborn after this battle, really a real elite soldier, it is too late for the apocalypse to win him over, how can he blame him, besides, under this magnificent situation, Zhang Aimin can still bring out so many people, it is enough to prove that this person can be reused, and in Zhang Aimin's opinion, 10,000 Royal Forest Army is a fart, if his Minzhou army dies, he will become a light general, That will attract the apocalypse of the autumn queen to settle accounts! ”

"General, what should we do then?" Jiang Heiniu leaned closer to the map and looked at the place where a hole had been poked by the mountain wind.

"The herald ordered the whole army to assemble immediately, let's go to Gufu, Zhang Aimin must be there, I want to run away so easily, that's not good! I've never been old and I've never returned empty-handed. The mountain wind laughed.

"Where's General Li Feng?"

"Send a messenger over and tell him, just stick to Ouyang Jianqiang for me, don't bump into the other party, but don't let them run away! If the Yizhou battalion is really disabled, the handsome may not say anything, but the old man An Guogong and the handsome old man will definitely not give me a good look! "The mountain wind is smiling and smiling.

Gufu, Zhang Aimin's Minzhou army has begun to advance towards Dacang Mountain, and when they arrive here, whether the soldiers want to or not, they have to advance towards the daunting, snow-capped mountain.

The soldiers all took off their heavy armor and wore only cotton clothes, and a large number of tents were divided into pieces of one or two meters square, and the soldiers wrapped them around their bodies to resist the cold wind that had risen above the firmament. There are all kinds of feet on the feet, some with straw ropes, some with ropes, and then wrap the shoes to prevent the snow from soaking the shoes prematurely.

Looking at the team of snakes winding and struggling to climb up the mountain, Zhang Aimin's face twitched, and he didn't know how many people would survive on the other side of Dacang Mountain in a few days or ten days.

"All the cavalry kill the horses!" Zhang Aimin turned around and gave orders to his cavalry generals.

"Yes!"

The order was swiftly given to each of the cavalry sentinels, but not a single one of them moved, and the soldiers led their horses and stroked their comrades, who were with them day and night, but could not speak.

"Do you want to disobey?" Zhang Aimin was furious and walked quickly to a school captain.

The lieutenant's lips trembled for a long time, and he suddenly knelt in front of Zhang Aimin, "General, the last general can't go, this horse has been with me for many years, he has saved my life, he is my brother, the general, the last general knows, the horse is not allowed on the Dacang Mountain, please allow the general to let him go, let him fend for himself!" ”

With this lieutenant taking the lead, thousands of cavalry knelt down all over the field, "General! Everyone shouted in unison with a crying voice, although they knew that it would be impossible to cross the snow-covered Dacang Mountain with their war horses today, but these cavalrymen refused to kill their war horses.

Zhang Aimin's nose was sour, and he had fallen to the point where he is today. Looking at the cavalry who knelt on the ground under black pressure, Zhang Aimin suddenly shouted loudly: "Guard, bring my horse over." ”

Zhang Aimin's personal soldiers were stunned, and suddenly understood what Zhang Aimin meant, and hesitated.

"Bring it!" Zhang Aimin roared.

The guards slowly, step by step, led Zhang Aimin's war horse, this horse with hair like black satin was purchased by Zhang Aimin's daughter back then, extremely impressive, accompanied by him for many years, took the reins from the guards, Zhang Aimin stepped forward, gently hugged the horse, his face will be attached to the horse's neck, gently combing the horse's mane, the horse snorted, turned the huge horse's head, stretched out his long tongue, and gently licked Zhang Aimin's face.

Zhang Aimin couldn't hold back tears in his eyes, hugged the horse's neck tightly, raised his right hand high, and there was already a short blade in his hand.

In the exclamations of countless people, the short blade of Zhang Aimin's hand fell suddenly, from the back of the horse's head to the stalk, the huge head of the war horse was raised suddenly, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Zhang Aimin turned around abruptly, strode forward, and shouted angrily as he walked: "Kill the horse!" If you don't want your partners to become the spoils of your enemies, but your enemies on the battlefield in the future, kill them all! ”

The lieutenant stood up with a whimper, put his face close to the war horse, touched his robe a few times, drew his war knife with his backhand, and cried out with a sharp slash, blood splattered, and the war horse fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhang Ai turned his head and left, he thought he was hard-hearted, but at this moment, he couldn't stand it.

After a pillar of afternoon, the corpses of war horses were scattered at the foot of Dacang Mountain. The cavalrymen turned back step by step, looked at their partners who had fallen to the ground, and advanced towards Dacang Mountain with blurred tears in their eyes.

"General, if these soldiers can survive, they will become warriors who will never lose to the Dingzhou soldiers, we have such an army, and there will be a chance to find the Dingzhou soldiers to avenge their blood hatred in the future!" Zhang Ai said hatefully.

"Report!" A pegasus came from afar. It was the sentry sent out by Zhang Aimin to be on guard, and the sentry came by flying horse, and when he saw the horse corpses all over the ground, he understood what was happening.

"What did you find?" Zhang Ai asked sharply.

"I found that the Dingzhou mountain wind cavalry is advancing towards Gufu at a high speed!" The Sentinel shouted.

Zhang Ai's body was shocked, and he looked at Zhang Aimin, Zhang Aimin stepped on the land of Dacang Mountain with one foot, and looked back at the back, "The mountain wind is really smart, I didn't fall for it, but I was prepared, come on, the mountain wind, do you have the courage to follow me to Dacang Mountain!" Let's go! Zhang Aimin strode along the slope step by step towards Da Cang.

Behind him, a mountain of grease-soaked armor was thrown into torches, and flames rose several feet high. Under the light of the fire, the Minzhou soldiers divided into dozens of groups, and climbed up the steep hill like ants.

A few hours later, Jiang Heiniu's cavalry was the first to rush to the foot of Dacang Mountain, but at this time, it was empty, only the armor and blood that had not been burned out were left all over the ground, and the corpses of horses were everywhere. Jiang Heiniu couldn't help but be speechless.

After a pillar of incense, the mountain wind led the main force to arrive, turned over and dismounted, looked at the hellish scene, and then looked at the messy footprints on the Dacang Mountain, the mountain wind was silent, and on the high Dacang Mountain, you can also vaguely see the shadow of the other party climbing upward.

"General, we're late, they're running away!" Jiang Heiniu shook his head, "It's so slippery, it's really cheap for them!" ”

Guoshan Feng was silent for a long time, suddenly clasped his hands into fists, and saluted respectfully to the opponent on Dacang Mountain, "Such an enemy is worthy of our respect!" Guo Feng said: "I hope Da Cangshan can destroy this opponent for us, otherwise, we will have one more terrible enemy in the future!" ”

"General, what shall we do now?" rushed to the scene, but returned in defeat, and the generals under the command of the mountain wind were all depressed.

"What are you doing?" Guoshan Feng quickly adjusted his mood, and laughed: "Look, tens of thousands of Minzhou troops were forced by us to kill their horses, throw away their armor and run out of Dacang Mountain, what else are you unhappy about, ah, are you unhappy without eating fat?" Don't forget, behind us, there's a big piece of fat, and that's a fat thing. The Royal Forest Army, haha, the Son of Heaven's pro-army, let's go, let's clean them up! ”

Jiang Heiniu also laughed and said: "General, what kind of bullshit Tianzi pro-army, I saw it many years ago, and we were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, oops, I think back then, General Tang Hu's mad dog title was fought there, he bit off that what Xiao what, oops, little person, I really can't remember, anyway, I bit off the guy's cheeks in one bite, and the big man also said, those guys are only suitable for honor guards, and it is not okay to fight, go, let's go pinch this soft persimmon and go to Luo!" ”

Jiang Heiniu made a sudden blow, which made the passion of a group of generals and lieutenants adjust again, and one by one they became excited again, and one by one they turned over and got on their horses, screaming and running towards their troops. In fact, the Royal Forest Army is so bad, although Jiang Heiniu won at the beginning, it was not as easy as he said, with Tang Hu's kung fu, he also used a way of playing with both defeats, and he overturned the opponent with pure blood and bravery.

The mountain wind smiled silently, although Jiang Heiniu's words made the soldiers have the mind of underestimating the enemy, but the Royal Forest Army has become an abandoned wild dog at this time, his own 20,000 cavalry, plus Li Feng's Yizhou battalion, it is easy to overturn the opponent, the important thing is to adjust the soldiers to be infected by the tragic atmosphere of the strong man who broke his wrist like the Minzhou soldier.

It's a pity, I still let the Minzhou soldiers run away, although Dacang will already eliminate a part of the Minzhou army for himself, but he didn't defeat it himself, after all, there are still some regrets, Zhang Aimin, amazing, if you meet this person in the future, be careful.

Ouyang Jianqiang was very distressed at this time, the strength of the six thousand Yizhou army greatly surprised him, in two days, the two armies clashed nearly ten times, although the other party lost thousands of people, but he was even worse, more than two thousand people had died on the snow, Ouyang Jianqiang was already retired, but annoyed, the other party seemed to understand his intentions, as long as he made a slight move, the other party immediately forced up, not far away and not close to himself, this time he did not panic to attack, but this state made Ouyang Jianqiang even more uncomfortable, The other side seems to be waiting for something.

His expectation was soon confirmed, and when the sentry rode in a panic and reported to him that he had spotted the Dingzhou Mountain Wind Cavalry behind him, Ouyang Jianqiang almost fell off his horse.

The cavalry came very quickly, and his troops were already in the field of view of the other party before the sentry had just delivered the news to the Imperial Guards.

Looking at the Dingzhou cavalry rushing up with a scream, Ouyang Jianqiang knew that he was finished. The Dingzhou cavalry, which was in the air after Gufu pounced, completely vented his anger on this group of imperial forest troops, and Li Feng also excitedly commanded the Yizhou battalion to pounce.
