Chapter 144: General Reserve

Chen Kefu stood on top of the mountains, and his heart was also constantly calculating.

At the moment, he had three options, first, the reserve team was dispatched to directly attack the cavalry of the front army to the west of the Liao. He believed that as long as he took more than 20,000 people from the reserve army to rush over from the east and counterattack their rear formation, the 5,000 cavalry of the Liao people would end their mission ahead of schedule. After the reserve team and Mao Yi converged, there were more than 35,000 soldiers and horses, and there was no problem in taking down the Liao cavalry that had been attacking for a long time.

As long as the Liao front army is taken, the momentum on his side will inevitably rise, and the morale of the Liao army will also drop greatly. After all, this battle has been fought for several hours, and he is not very relieved about the Liaodong Army, which is mostly new recruits. Before, it was still a blast, relying on a bloody punch and rush. If the battle formation is in a state of stalemate, then no one can be sure that it will be Goguryeo's Chinese army or his Chen Kefu's Northeast Army recruits who will be the first to collapse.

If you take Qiancao, you will be able to turn more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the Goguryeo Chinese army, which can be said to be a good plan1.

But what Chen Kefu is hesitating now is that if he wants to take down the 5,000 cavalry of the former Goguryeo army, it will definitely not be able to do it in a short time. Maybe it's not impossible to play for a few hours by then, and it's entirely possible that there will be some changes in the middle. By then, his reserves will be all out, and it will be difficult to do anything else.

The second option was to send the whole army out and go straight to the Goguryeo Central Army, when they would be able to form a superior force against the Liao Chinese Army. At present, the Chinese army of the Liao people is shaking, and there are a large number of young tribes there. There is a great certainty that as soon as they flank the attack, the Liao Chinese army will collapse, and then the Chinese army will be broken as soon as the Liao army is broken. The Qingqiang army, which has lost the command of the formation, will not have much combat effectiveness at that time, except for the counter-effect to the Liao people.

But this is only his prediction, there is no 100% certainty, in case Na Yuan Taidi still has any backhand, and then the two main forces will be completely glued, this is not what he wants to see.

The last option is to transfer 10,000 people from the reserve to attack the Liao Chinese army, leaving more than 10,000 people as the final reserve, just in case.

Chen Kefu turned his head and looked at his side, although there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses around him, the highest officer was only at the regimental level. All officers above the brigadier general level have now been transferred to the following three units as commanders. He wanted to find someone to discuss, but there was no way.

For such a big battle, he understands that sometimes victory and defeat are between the first line, and no one can say that he can win, and whoever will lose. Only now did he really understand how far there was between a fierce general who fought and rushed and a general who commanded a battle formation. If he were tearing down below now, he wouldn't hesitate.

But now he had a troop in his hand, hesitating to throw his troops into battle. The fleeting nature of the fighter planes on the battlefield is not good sooner or later, which tests a general's precise vision and accurate judgment, as well as his ability to make decisions.

Chen Kefu said to a pro-soldier behind him, "Do you think we should attack now?" โ€

The pro-soldier was also selected from among the people after the reorganization, with five big and three thick, and a full beard. At this time, when he heard Da Shuai ask him, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Da Shuai, let's beat his mother, the brothers are fighting so hard, let's just watch it here, it's too uncomfortable." โ€

Chen Kefu stood there solemnly, looking at the battlefield below, there were dead horses, spears, and bleeding men every minute and every second, and for the first time he found that he could be so calm about this bloody battlefield.

"Which side should we fight?" Chen Kefu looked at the battlefield and said lightly, as if he was asking the pro-soldier, and as if he was talking to himself.

The pro-soldier lowered his head, and didn't know if Chen Kefu asked him at this time, and said loudly, "Dashuai, of course, we are fighting on the side with more people, and there are the most Liao people in the middle, so we should fight there, and when the Liao people are defeated, the others will naturally be defeated." โ€

Chen Kefu nodded, as if he had finally made up his mind, straightened the Mingguang armor on his body, and took over his horse lance from the guards beside him. "You go and convey the military order of the commander to General Mao Yi in the west, and the commander will lead the reserve to attack the Liao army first." Let him hold on any longer, not asking them to destroy the cavalry of the front army of the Liao army, only asking him to at least completely drag the 5,000 cavalry of the front army of the Liao army to me before the main force decides the victory, and not let them get close to the battlefield of the Chinese army! โ€,

Turning around, he said to the other guards on the side, "Inform General Liu Tiezhu of the Chinese army and ask him not to stop." Continue to maintain the offensive in front of you, don't care about the rest, just press the whole army and go straight to the banner of the Liao army. Ben Shuai immediately personally led a reserve of 20,000 horses to help him, and before sunset, he must defeat the Chinese army of the Liao. โ€

"In addition, one more person sent an order to General Li Benlei of the rear army, telling them that the Liao people's Ju army had completely lost its command. Now I ask them to send only one army of soldiers and horses to block the exit of the eastern gorge, and the rest of the cavalry will attack the Liao army with all their might. Tell them that Ben Shuai has seen the bravery of them when they cut down the banner of the Liao people, and I hope to see them again The glorious moment when they cut down the flag of the Liao people! โ€

"Messengers, inform me of all the battalion commanders of the reserve, the reserve is dispatched with the whole army, and the target is the Liao Chinese army! Before sunset, Ben Shuai demanded an end to this ambush battle! The majestic voice was full of confidence and domineering, Chen Kefu turned over and rode on Qingya, and the horse lance in his hand pointed at the Liao Chinese army. โ€

The 20,000-foot mixed reserve descended the hill from the North Ridge, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the footsteps of the infantry continued to be heard. The entire army completely maintained a charging formation, and was starting to charge, accelerating towards the Liao Chinese army. Between the autumn wind and falling leaves, one flag after another fluttered, and the battle flag of the largest rear pole black sรจ fluttered in the wind, which was embroidered with two golden sรจ characters for breaking the army, and a small battle flag next to it was embroidered with a big Chen character.

"Report to the marshal, the soldiers and horses of the Sui army standing on the north ridge have been dispatched, with a number of about 20,000 foot cavalry, and the target is directly aimed at the front of our Chinese army."

"Ben Shuai saw it, not only the soldiers and horses on the north ridge of the Sui army that had not moved, but also the Sui cavalry of the rear army left the men and horses of our rear army and came straight to us. It seems that the commander of the Sui people has made up his mind and intends to directly break the big array of our Chinese army. โ€

Yuan Taidi gritted his teeth a little, the Sui general on the opposite side was definitely a wise general, and he had a very good grasp of the battlefield situation. He didn't care about the situation that he could go down at any time on both sides, and he was stunned and came to the Chinese army. This Sui general just wants to solve their troops as quickly as possible, and not give them the slightest chance to breathe and deal with it. At present, the front of the Chinese army is unstable, and this is indeed a rare and good opportunity.

Yuan Taidi said to the herald with a dark face, "Go and give an order to the Yuan Pure Land General of the front army immediately, let them stop caring about the Sui people in the west, and let them immediately take the cavalry of the front army to quickly move closer to the Chinese army, they must be fast." โ€

"Give an order to General Yuan Gaitong, who has retreated from the rear army, to return to the rear army immediately, and order him to be sure to collect the rout of the rear army, and immediately move closer to the left flank of the Chinese army to protect the left flank of the army. โ€

After the two orders were passed down, Yuan Taidi was also a little hopeless. But now the situation is critical, and I have to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Under the banner of Shuai, many generals of the Chinese army and the lords of various tribes are panicking, and now the Sui army's offensive is so brave, and the front and rear roads have been broken, they can't run if they want to.

When I thought that I might die here, my face was pale, and my eyes were full of despair.

, "General, the front line of the Chinese army is already unstable, and as soon as the troops of the Sui army's northern ridge join, the front is very likely to collapse." One of the generals said worriedly.

"My lord, there are tens of thousands of fierce infantry of the Sui army in front of you, there are Sui cavalry on the left, and a new force of the Sui army on the right. The soldiers have been fighting for several hours, and now they are all sleepy and tired, and they are almost unable to stand it. General, let's withdraw! โ€

Withdraw, where to withdraw? The front and back are all Sui troops, and they can't withdraw to the sky.

Yuan Tai Di glared at him without a good face, the clan lord who shouted to withdraw.

The lord was glared at, and he didn't mean to stop at all, and continued, "The situation in front of us clearly shows that the information given to us by King Rongliu is wrong, and we have fallen for the Sui people.

There are at least 100,000 elite Sui troops in front of us, and it is impossible for us to win, and most importantly, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Sui army attacking our Goguryeo, but there are hundreds of thousands.

Maybe it won't be long before hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Sui people arrive, and then we will be unable to fly. While the Sui army has not yet arrived, let's break through. If you can't beat it hard, you can still highlight part of it with all your strength. No matter how you say it, it's better than dying here. โ€

For these lords, no one wants to die here. Even if all the soldiers and slaves are dead, as long as they can run back, that's fine.

"Breakout? There are Sui soldiers before and after, where are we going? Besides, the east and west canyons were blocked by the Sui army's soldiers and horses, how could we get out of tens of thousands of horses? โ€

"Dashuai, abandon the pawn and protect the car!" Several clan lords and mountain city lords all said in unison, for the sake of their lives, at this time, everyone can be said to have an instant increase in IQ.

In the past, no one would dare to speak like this in the face of Yuan Taidi's tiger power, but now, life is almost gone, and no one cares about this anymore.
