Chapter 763: A Different Army
As soon as the sky was bright, the small village where Yu Linwei was stationed was already empty.
Yu Linwei, who was still stationed outside the village at night, was now left, and all of them left the camp.
At the foot of a hill more than ten miles away from the village, thousands of Yulin guards wearing big red armor were riding horses up the hill along a path under the leadership of Gao Shun and Xiao Si.
The trail was narrow enough to fit only four or five horses in parallel.
Five thousand Yu Linwei walked on this path, like a long winding dragon, with no end in sight.
"Where does this path lead?" Walking along the path, Gao Shun asked Xiao Si.
"At the end of the road is Xiangling!" Riding on a war horse provided by Yulinwei, Xiao Si pointed forward and said to Gao Shun: "The thief army should be stationed at the end of the road!" ”
Nodding his head, Gao Shun didn't ask any more questions, but shouted to the Yulin guards behind him: "Speed up, before the sun rises three poles, rush to the shore of the river!" ”
Gao Shun led Yu Linwei along the path to advance to the shore of the river, on the bank of the river, Yuan Yin was busy asking the soldiers of the Huainan army to pack up the camp tents, planning to take advantage of the fact that the Qin army had not yet discovered their plans, and quickly retreated to the south bank of the river to confront the Qin army.
"Hurry up!" With his hand on the hilt of his sword and standing in the barracks, Yuan Yin shouted to the Huainan army who was busy packing up the camp tent: "All of them are like women, even if this general takes thousands of women to go on the expedition, he will be much better than you!" ”
was scolded by Yuan Yin, and the soldiers of the Huainan Army did not dare to say anything, and they were all busy loading the camp tents onto the cart and preparing to transport them across the riverbank.
"General!" Yuan Yin was watching the soldiers pack up the camp tent, a scout rode into the barracks, and when he approached, he turned over and jumped off the horse, clasped his fists and said to him: "The Qin army Yulinwei camp is empty, and there is not even a tent!" ”
After listening to the scout's report, Yuan Yin secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the Huainan Army in the barracks: "Hurry up, clean up quickly!" ”
"General!" was busy asking the soldiers to clean up the barracks, when a pro-soldier officer came to Yuan Yin's side and whispered to him: "The Qin army's barracks are empty, and they are already coming to our army!" If our army withdraws, what should we do if the Qin army is killed later? ”
"General Ben has left two troops and horses behind!" Turning his head to look at the officer, Yuan Yin asked him, "What do you think?" ”
"Soldiers march to fight, and the military salary is not much!" Clenching his fists and facing Yuan Yin, the officer whispered: "If our army leaves all the grain, grass, and baggage behind......"
"What a plan!" Looking at the officer, Yuan Yin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to the soldiers on the side: "Order the army, don't clean up the camp, be responsible for intercepting the soldiers and horses of the Qin army, and return to the camp to be ordered!" ”
The soldiers responded and conveyed Yuan Yin's order.
When the soldiers left, Yuan Yin patted the officer's shoulder and said to the officer with a smile: "When the Qin army arrives, when it sees the baggage left by our army, it will definitely come to fight." When the Qin army is in chaos, our army will take advantage of the situation to kill ......"
"Ha Lu Ha!" Speaking of this, Yuan Yin looked up and smiled, and said very proudly: "If General Ben defeats the 5,000 Qin Army Yulin Wei with 2,000 soldiers and horses, then General Ben will be prestigious!" ”
"The general's wish will come true!" Clenching his fists, the officer said to Yuan Yin suspiciously, and then looked at the Huainan Army officers and soldiers who put down their baggage and began to form a team with Yuan Yin.
The sun was gradually rising, and I saw that it was about to climb to the third pole.
Under the guidance of Xiao Si, Gao Shun and his five thousand feathers Lin Wei left the path and walked onto a wilderness full of green grass.
Standing on the wilderness, Gao Shun saw at a glance that there was a military camp in front of him.
Seeing the barracks, the corners of Gao Shun's mouth twitched slightly, and he shouted to the Yulin guards behind him: "Chen Gong is not bad, the Huainan Army has two ways to choose, one is to divide the troops to resist, and the main force crosses the river; The other is to leave the grain and grass and baggage, and ask our army to go and grab it! ”
"The enemy camp is intact, apparently they have chosen the second way! Tell General Ben that you will rob the Huainan Army of its baggage? Gao Shun turned his head, looked at the Yulin guards behind him, and asked in a loud voice.
"No!" All the Yu Lin Guards let out a neat shout.
Hearing the shouts of the Yulin guards, Gao Shun nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and shouted to the Yulin guards behind him: "In this way, both roads are the dead end of the Huainan army!" Go forward with General Ben and drive the Huainan army into the water! ”
"Kill! Kill! The five thousand Yulin guards all raised their blades in their hands and let out a roar that shook the sky.
Inspired by Yu Linwei's shout, Xiao Si, who led them here, also raised his arms and shouted.
"March!" When the soldiers finished shouting, Gao Shun drew his long sword, pointed ahead, and gave the order to attack.
Gao Shun led Yu Linwei to appear on the bank of the river, and Yuan Yin had also discovered them, and immediately organized the Huainan army to line up and confront Yu Linwei.
Thousands of Lin Wei arrived nearby, and with just a few shouts, they rode their horses like a tide towards the Huainan army.
This scene was completely beyond Yuan Yin's expectations.
Looking at Yu Linwei, who was getting closer and closer, Yuan Yin shouted loudly: "The whole army retreats!" ”
After giving this order, Yuan Yin originally planned that the Huainan Army could retreat in an orderly manner, but he didn't know that on the first night, the soldiers of the Huainan Army were ready to escape.
As soon as the order to retreat was issued, the Huainan army was like a pot of boiling porridge, and it was suddenly in chaos, and many people dragged their weapons and turned around and ran.
Countless Huainan troops turned around and fled, which was even more unexpected than Yuan Yin.
Looking at the Huainan army scattered and fleeing like a swarm of headless flies, Yuan Yin shouted loudly: "Don't mess up! Retreat in an orderly manner! ”
Just thinking about running for his life, where can he care about what Yuan Yin shouted, some soldiers of the Huainan Army, dragging weapons, ran not far, probably felt that the weapons were too heavy, let go of their hands, threw the weapons on the ground, and ran quickly in the direction they thought might save their lives.
What's more, when some Huainan soldiers were running, they even felt that the armor on their bodies was very heavy, and they took off their armor while running.
Standing in the distance, looking at the fleeing Huainan army, Gao Shun smiled and said to the junior next to him: "How long do you think our army will win a complete victory?" ”
"An hour!" Looking at the fleeing Huainan Army like Gao Shun, Xiao Si showed an excited look on his face, and said to Gao Shun: "General, I also want to go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”
"You?" Turning his head to look at Xiao Si, Gao Shun said to him with a smile: "The army fights, and the soldiers have to go through several years of training before they can go to the battlefield. You go to a mess, don't ruin your own life! ”
When Gao Shun said this, the look on Xiao Si's face suddenly turned gray, and he sighed lightly and said, "I don't know that His Highness has come down to Huainan, and I may join the Qin army!" ”
"General Deng used to follow His Highness in the past, and the Dragoon Guard was also His Highness's personal soldier!" Looking at Xiao Si, Gao Shun kept a smile on his face and said to him: "Since General Deng has allowed you, I want to recommend it to His Highness." From General Ben's point of view, there is a chance that this matter will be nine times out of ten! ”
After hearing Gao Shun's words, Xiao Si's gloomy expression turned into joy, but looking at the Huainan army that was fleeing in the distance, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and wanted to come forward to fight.
The Huainan army was mostly infantry, and Yu Linwei, under Gao Shun's training, had already become a team that could fight on horse.
The Yulin guards rode their horses, waved their blades in their hands, and rushed towards the fleeing Huainan army, shouting along the way.
Most of the Huainan army had already collapsed, and the soldiers beside Yuan Yin added up to only four or five hundred.
Seeing Yu Linwei getting closer and closer, Yuan Yin shouted: "And retreat with General Ben!" ”
The four or five hundred Huainan troops that had not yet retreated, although they were still in front of Yuan Yin, but looking at Yu Linwei, who was getting closer and closer, all the Huainan troops were also weak in their hearts.
In this battle, the strength of the two sides was already very different, coupled with the collapse of most of the Huainan army, as long as Yu Linwei rushed forward, the Huainan army beside Yuan Yin would definitely be broken by Yu Linwei in an instant.
Yuan Yin gave the order to retreat again, and the soldiers of the Huainan Army beside him turned their heads and retreated towards the Weishui River after him without thinking about it.
The water is not very deep, and it is not very wide.
With a little knowledge of water, you can cross this narrow river.
"Kill!" Just when Yuan Yin led four or five hundred Huainan troops to retreat towards Weishui, the charging Yu Linwei had already killed their previous military camp.
After entering the barracks, Yu Linwei did not scramble for the baggage as Yuan Yin imagined, but scattered on all sides, riding his horse to chase the fleeing Huainan army.
A small number of Yu Linwei went to chase the fleeing Huainan army, and the Huainan army that they caught up with fell under Yu Linwei's Pu knife one after another.
More Yu Linwei lined up in the camp of the Huainan Army, slowed down and approached Yuan Yin and the others, who were already about to retreat to the shore of the river.
Yu Linwei was getting closer and closer, his two legs had already stepped into the river, Yuan Yin pressed the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were full of horror looking at this army beyond his imagination.
In the past, the army that Yuan Yin saw, no matter what, after winning the battle, would coax the baggage left by the enemy.
But the Qin army's Yu Linwei didn't, they didn't even look at the baggage discarded all over the ground, and all their attention was focused on the Huainan army that had not yet been wiped out.
The scene in front of him made Yuan Yin regret endlessly.
He regretted that he did not follow the original expectation, leaving the two teams to break off, and led the main force to withdraw to the south bank of the river.
As long as the main force retreats to the south bank of the river, although it is the Qin army Yu Linwei who confronts him, there is a water barrier to Yu Linwei, and Yu Linwei will have to suffer quite heavy losses if he wants to cross the river.
Thousands of Yu Linwei, who were riding tall war horses, had already approached to a place where they were only twenty or thirty steps away from Yuan Yin and the others, and two fast horses were rushing towards the shore of the river in the distance.
