Chapter 772: I Will Do What You Want

The reason why Wang Yan scolded Xue Wanche for being an idiot with great contempt is actually very simple. It had only snowed heavily, and the ground was white. The Xia army set up an ambush on the road from Fanshui to Wei County, and after waiting for two days in a row, the Yanyun army did not come to counterattack, Wang Fubao naturally became suspicious in his heart, so he sent scouts to quietly approach Fanshui to check.

Xue Wanche's army left Fanshui at night, and the darkness covered the men and horses, but it could not cover the traces left on the snow. Tens of thousands of horses marched, and the snow was a hideous ...... Obviously, Yan Yunjun didn't seem to be aware of this huge mistake.

It is said that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and perhaps this is true.

This time, Wang Fubao came with all his men and horses, and sent troops to attack Wei County at night after success. Deployed most of his troops between Wei County and Fanshui, trying to intercept Xue Wanche's reinforcements. Xue Wanche turned to attack Huanshui and tried to trap the Xia army in Wei County, such a plan is not bold, nor is it not magnificent.

But a heavy snowfall exposed his intentions.

Wang Roar led no less than 20,000 cavalry of the Xia army, as well as more than 20,000 selected light armored infantry, left Wei County in the starry night, took a shortcut and went straight to the direction of Huanshui.

When the snow is clear and the sun shines on the white snow, it will be very uncomfortable for the human eye to look at it for a long time, and if it is in the ice field, if there are no protective measures, it may make people blind for a short time. But the snow in the Central Plains is not that thick, and it doesn't take long for the sun to start melting.

In the field, a black line gradually became clear.

It was a group of men and horses in black armor, marching along the official road all the way to the northwest. The official road built by the Great Sui was flat and wide, and although it was a little muddy to walk on because of the snow, the speed of the procession was still very fast, and it could be seen that this group of men and horses seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere.

About two miles from the official road, there is a forest. At this time, the white-robed Xia Jun was hiding in this wood. The little general Wang Roar stood behind a big tree, his eyes staring at the group of people on the official road in the distance.

"Major General!"

The soldiers who climbed a big tree bowed their heads and said to Wang Roar: "Look at the banner, the Yanyun thief's men and horses should be at least 30,000 people. I don't look very closely, but I can't go wrong. ”

"Hmm"

Wang roared, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick: "Blow the horn, attack!" ”

The herald beside him immediately raised his horn, and soon the sound of the horn came from the woods, and a flock of finches was startled and disappeared into the sky.

Suddenly, the white-robed men and horses rushed out of the woods like a tumbling snow wave to the official road. At the forefront was the cavalry of the Xia army, and after leaving the woods, the cavalry began to accelerate, and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground was like a muffled thunder exploding against the ground. The four hooves of the war horse stirred up the remnants of snow, like the waves when the tide was churning.

The horses neighed, and the distance of about two miles was an instant for the light cavalry, and although the march in the snow affected the speed of the horses, the enemy would also be affected.

When the Xia army rushed out of the dense forest, Yan Yunjun on the official road also reacted immediately. The horn sounded as if it was responding to the horn of the Xia army's attack. The seemingly dragon-like team quickly closed down and formed a phalanx one by one in the shortest possible time.

And at this time, Wang Yan, who was rushing to the front with the cavalry, suddenly changed his eyes.

"Something is wrong!"

He was adopted by Wang Fubao since he was a child, read military books, and followed Wang Fubao to fight in the east and west since he could walk, and he saw more than 100 battles with his own eyes. He was no stranger to war. As for the number of people in the team, he could judge it almost at a glance.

Just when Xia Jun rushed out of the woods, Yan Yunjun on the official road began to change formations.

This shows that Yan Yunjun is always on guard against an ambush!

And...... The number of Yan Yunjun's troops was by no means as large as what I had seen before! The long dragon, which seemed to have at least 30,000 men, began to change formation as soon as the horn sounded, forming ten defensive phalanxes and quickly closing together. There are more than 1,000 people in each phalanx, which means that the Yanyun army on the official road does not exceed 10,000 at most!

Wang Yan's pupils contracted suddenly, and he almost couldn't help but order the army to stop attacking!

……

……

The Yanyun army on the official road is indeed only 10,000 people, but it is full of 40,000 horses. It looks like a long and dense procession, but in fact the middle is empty. In other words, it looks like there are ten people in a horizontal row, but in fact there are only three or four people. It's empty in the middle, and you can't tell it from a distance!

When the horn sounded in the dense forest in the distance, the eyes of the generals leading the Yan Yun Army immediately lit up.

"Blow the horn, form a formation!"

The archers lined up, and the three arrows stepped back. The spearmen lined up to defend, and the scythes were hooked...... After the cavalry of the Xia army rushes over, listen to my order to counterattack! ”

"Whoa!"

The generals below immediately responded and ordered his subordinates to immediately line up for defense.

"You all know!"

The leader of the general was a man in his thirties, with a white face and no beard, and he didn't seem to have the cold and murderous aura unique to a soldier, and even had a bit of a bookish aura that did not belong to the battlefield. But this man's eyes were extraordinarily resolute, and he looked at the enemy troops in the distance like a wave, without the slightest fear.

The leader glanced at the generals under him, raised his voice and said, "You all know that we don't have reinforcements!" The enemy must be far more powerful than we are, and we can only rely on ourselves here! When the general sent out the army, he said that our army would die for life. But now that we're here, can we still turn around and run away?! ”

"Run! Will the enemy let us go! ”

"No!"

The surrounding soldiers replied loudly.

"On your own!"

The iron-clad general said loudly: "I am a civil official, and I am powerless!" But today, I will stand by your side, living and dying together! Outside the city of Wei County, there are nearly 4,000 corpses of comrades still discarded there, and in today's battle, I would rather be the corpses lying in the snow than surrender to the enemy who insulted my comrades! ”

"Born together! Death and death! ”

The soldiers of the Yanyun Army, dressed in black armor, shouted neatly and clenched the weapons in their hands. They were proud soldiers of the Yanyun Army, the armor on their bodies, the weapons in their hands, and the blood flowing in their bodies were all proud. Among them were soldiers who had newly joined the Yanyun Army, and there were also many veterans of a hundred battles. But they all have a kind of pride unique to the Yan Yun Army, and they are never afraid of any enemy.

"Fight!"

The general, who looked a little weak, drew his horizontal sword and pointed it at the surging enemy in the distance.

"Fight!"

Sonic boom clouds.

When the cavalry of the Xia army entered within one hundred and fifty paces, the archers on the outermost part of the Yan Yun army loosened their bowstrings. Thousands of feathered arrows flew out like locusts in a field of crops. The speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the arrows fired at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and by the time the feathered arrows reached the enemy's cavalry, they had been pulled close enough to hurt the enemy.

The first round of feather arrows fired, and the Xia cavalry at the front immediately fell down one floor. The horses pounced forward, and the cavalry on horseback was thrown far away. The body slammed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of residual snow.

There are only three arrows in battle

After three rounds of feathered arrows, the cavalry of the Xia army was overturned by hundreds. But the feathered arrows were not enough to stop the enemy's attack, and the sword-wielding cavalry shouted and urged the horses forward. After the third round of feather arrows, the archers of the Yan Yun Army immediately retreated, retreating to the back along the gap deliberately left by the gun array. Instead of standing behind the gunshots, they continued to retreat.

As the archers withdrew, the array of guns began to solidify. The passage left for the archers to retreat closed, and the dense spears pointed diagonally into the air.

The archers, who had retreated behind the spear formation, continued to fire their arrows, this time not at the enemy cavalry, who had already rushed within fifty paces, but at the large number of infantry that rushed after them.

Ejection

It has always been a sharp means for archers against infantry. As the enemy rushes forward, the archers slowly retreat, always keeping a sufficient distance to fire their arrows.

The weak general standing behind the gun array had a resolute expression, but no one saw his hand holding the horizontal knife trembling slightly. His palms were actually covered with sweat, as well as on his back. But he knew that he had no way out, this plan was originally thought up by him, how could he show fear at this time? And it was he who insisted on leading this group of men and horses to lure the enemy, although he knew that the odds of victory in this battle were not on his side.

His name is Cui Qian.

He was a man of letters.

A march on the snow will inevitably leave traces, such an idiotic thing...... How could the battle-hardened Yan Yunjun ignore and forget?

strike

The cavalry slammed into the gun formation.

Waves of blood are churning.

……

……

There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the moonlight was sprinkled on the earth like water. The white snow reflects the moonlight, so the darkness of the night is not too deep and heavy. On the walls of Wei County, the defenders patrolled back and forth with torches. From time to time, they glanced out of the city, and by the moonlight they could faintly see the small undulations of the snow like tiny waves.

It was thousands of corpses they had discarded in the wilderness, frozen in the snow.

The general of the Xia army on duty tonight is Shi Song, another general of Wupin, who is the cousin of Shi Zan, the general of the Great Xia Kingdom. After Shi Zan's death, he was also implicated, and although he was not convicted, it was difficult for him to be promoted in his career. He was not Wang Fubao's cronies, especially since he knew that His Majesty the Emperor did not really trust Wang Fubao. So he has always deliberately distanced himself from Wang Fubaola, because of his cousin Shi Zan's matter, and now Shi Song has been cautious and makes people feel pitiful.

Sitting in the city gate building guarding the stove, Shi Song still felt a little unbearable from the cold. Facing the fire, the front of the body is warm, but there is always a feeling of an eerie wind blowing behind the back, and it is cold to the bones.

He subconsciously untied the wine bag from his waist, and as soon as he put it to his mouth, he remembered the military regulations set by the general Wang Fubao.

If the man on duty drinks alcohol, he shall be punished with thirty rods.

He looked up and looked outside, shaking his head in self-deprecation.

He tossed the sac aside and watched the fire in a daze.

At this time, a Xia soldier on duty standing on the city wall rubbed his eyes, and after looking carefully outside the city, he couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly.

"Suspicion Gives Rise to Dark Ghost ......"

He muttered to himself, and then sighed: "There are corpses outside the city, and they have long been frozen like stones. Afraid of what? Will the corpse still move? Will you still get up? Corpses only...... Nothing to be afraid of......"

Naturally, the corpse does not move.

On the snow outside the city, a large number of soldiers in white robes crawled slowly. No matter how light the night was, the defenders on the city walls could not see two hundred paces away. And these soldiers in white robes have quietly approached about a hundred steps outside the city wall. Not so long ago, their enemies had approached the city in this way.

Xue Wanche crawled next to a frozen corpse and looked at the Yan Yun Army soldier's expression. He clenched his fists, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"How you defeat Wei County, how I will take Wei County back!"

Thinking of Cui Qian, who led the troops as bait to lure away tens of thousands of elites of the Xia Army, Xue Wanche couldn't help but feel a little worried. It is not easy for a literati to have such courage. What's more, he is still from that background. He came from a prominent family, so there was no need to take this risk.

It's not easy!

Xue Wanche sighed in his heart, how could he not understand the reason why Cui Qian was so desperate?

The Cui family is a little late.

If you want to get ahead, you need credit.
