Chapter 336: Cavalry Show (Part II)
The next day, in the early morning, 30,000 iron horsemen successfully crossed the Blue Water River. did not encounter the resistance of the Sang Bear army as everyone thought, which made Ji Qingchen more sure of his judgment, Sang Xiong ambushed the army in Pingmapo, and was preparing for him to enter the net.
When the army reached the other side of the river, Ji Qingchen gave an order, and 30,000 iron horsemen dismounted and began to rest, because in the afternoon they were going to march quickly, and when they reached Pingmapo before dark, they might fight with the Mulberry Bear cavalry who were waiting for work.
The army rested for two hours and then set out.
The sixty-mile road was like a walk for Ji Qingchen's Qingfeng rider, and after three hours they reached the ten miles outside Pingma Slope. At this time, the scouts in front of them could clearly see the scout horse team sent by Mulberry Bear.
When the scout informed Ji Qingchen of the situation, the Northern Liao king of Dayan did not say anything, but ordered the army to stop marching and stay quietly to rest, but did not let the knight dismount.
Half an hour later, the scout reported to Ji Qingchen again, saying that the army of Mulberry Bears had been found ten miles ahead, numbering about 40,000, and was moving towards his side.
"Continuing the Investigation ββ!" Ji Qingchen said in a low voice, his expression was still the same, but he was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that there were only 40,000 foot soldiers around Sang Xiong, so he divided the 80,000 foot soldiers into two parts and deployed them on his two wings? Is this for fear of his own escape? Or did Sang Xiong think that his 40,000 foot soldiers could deal with his 30,000 iron cavalry, and he was afraid that his 100,000 cavalry would surround and kill them, so he would let the 80,000 foot soldiers hide in the depths to prevent accidents?
For the two doubts, Ji Qingchen was still puzzled.
However, he was sure that no matter what the reason was for Sang Xiong to have only 40,000 foot soldiers around him, as long as Sang Xiong dared to lead these 40,000 foot soldiers to fight him, he would definitely kill Sang Xiong and not give Sang Xiong a chance.
Just when Ji Qingchen was thinking about this, another scout rushed in front of him on horseback.
"Your Highness, the 40,000-strong army of Mulberry Bear is already less than six miles away from us." The scout replied in a calm tone, not nervous or uncomfortable because of the imminent battle.
"Six miles?" Ji Qingchen sneered, "Could it be that Sang Xiong is so confident that with only the 40,000 foot soldiers in his hands, he can annihilate my 30,000 iron horsemen here?" β
As he spoke, Ji Qingchen looked around and found that the position he was in was indeed not suitable for a large-scale cavalry charge, not to mention the rugged roads and crisscrossed by hills, it was not a battlefield for cavalry operations at all.
"Ji Xuanyuan, you are the commander of the headquarters as the vanguard army, Li You, Mu Feng, you lead the headquarters of the people and horses as the two wings, as long as the king gives an order, you will launch a charge, be sure to break through the formation of the mulberry bear as soon as possible, and kill him and the horse." Ji Qingchen ordered decisively.
At this moment, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, always feeling that he seemed to be missing something, and as if he seemed to underestimate the other party. That's why he decided to use a charge to break through the opponent's formation when he encountered Mulberry Bear, and strive to exit the battlefield immediately after killing Mulberry Bear at the first time.
"No!" Ji Xuanyuan, Li You, and Mu Zhan, who were following behind Ji Qingchen, received the order, and each rode back to his headquarters on horseback and gave the order to prepare for battle.
Shaoqing, the army that was a little out of breath and a little sluggish just now was suddenly full of murderous aura, and the fierce murderous aura broke through the sky and permeated the surrounding five miles.
Sang Xiong, who was marching towards Ji Qingchen, suddenly felt this chilling murderous aura on his horse, and he instinctively shivered on his horse.
He glanced around with lowered eyes and asked Xin An, the scout captain beside him, "Is there any news about Lan Yu and Duan Hu?" β
"They have blocked Ji Qingchen's retreat to the east and west, waiting for the general's order." Xin An replied.
"With only 30,000 iron cavalry, such a strong fighting spirit broke out, the cavalry beside Ji Qingchen is not simple!" Sang Xiong suddenly sighed and said, "Our plan is going to change, you immediately send someone to inform Lan Yu and Duan Hu, so that the two of them can immediately kill Ji Qingchen from both wings when we clash with Ji Qingchen, the 40,000 army can't trap Ji Qingchen's 30,000 iron cavalry, we can only use all the army to kill him." β
Xin An was a little stunned when he heard Sang Xiong's words, this is a desperate decision! is to ignore the 100,000 army around Ji Qingchen, and specially use his 120,000 army to deal with the 30,000 iron cavalry in front of him. If Ji Qingchen came to meet the battle, it was just to lure his 120,000 troops into the battle, and then let the 100,000 iron cavalry around him take the opportunity to break out of the siege and annihilate them, I am afraid that the 120,000 army on his side will be wiped out!
Besides, the terrain of Pingmapo is narrow, and the confrontation of 70,000 troops is already a bit crowded, how can it accommodate Lan Yu and Duan Hu's 80,000 elite soldiers?
Therefore, before Xin An could answer, Bai Bairen spoke, "Teacher, I'm afraid this is not appropriate-" It's just that Bai Bairen's words were interrupted by Sang Xiong before he finished speaking, so he listened to him say in a sharp tone that no one could question, "Just give the order!" β
"Yes." Xin An heard a surge of anger from Sang Xiong's words, and no longer dared to guess the terrible consequences that would occur after this order was given, and rode away quickly.
"Teacher-" Bai Bairen was still arguing, but he saw Sang Xiong say lightly, "Don't worry! Ji Qingchen's marching route and number of people are under my control, and as long as we are cautious and careful, there will be no major problems in this battle. β
And he said no more!
Seeing that the teacher was so persistent, Bai Ren stopped insisting and followed Sang Xiong's side silently.
At this time, a gust of wind blew in the sky, and the pennant was blowing fiercely, and the two armies gradually approached in the wind and met. Sang Xiong ordered the army to stop moving forward at a safe distance of six hundred paces away from Ji Qingchen's army, and then set his eyes on Ji Qingchen on the opposite side, and began to carefully look at the young council king known as Dayan Optimus Prime.
Similarly, Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to Sang Xiong when Sang Xiong appeared in his sight, quietly staring at this famous general of the Baiyan clan who dared to lead 300,000 Lingnan foot soldiers to invade Dayan.
The two glanced at each other, and Sang Xiong rode forward to the center of the formation, and Ji Qingchen saw Sang Xiong's actions and he also rode forward and walked towards Sang Xiong.
The two rode opposite each other until they were a hundred paces away.
At this time, Sang Xiong's pupils contracted, because he found that Ji Qingchen was still wearing a black python robe like the legends of the people, and he didn't even wear the minimum leather armor, and a black green dragon horse lance hung on the saddle, and he was wearing a world-famous wolf blade sword around his waist.
"King of Northern Liao, I didn't expect that we would meet here, I have long heard of your name, saying that you defeated Beirong Jingqi with less victory, and destroyed Beirong, 30,000 iron horses rode into Shangjing, and killed tens of thousands of white horses who left the country and returned to China calmly. I've only heard about it before, but I've never seen a real person. Seeing each other today is really worthy of the name! Sang Xiong said with a faint smile. The tone was very kind, but the sharp glint in his eyes flickered, and at a glance, he knew that the Dao was already full of murderous intentions.
"I was surprised to meet General Sang Xiong here, I thought that no one would want to find death to offend my Dayan, but I didn't expect you to come, General, this king admires the general's courage and courage." Ji Qingchen also said lightly.
Since the two were enemies rather than friends, they didn't have much to worry about when they spoke.
"Ha Lu Ha-" Sang Xiong heard Ji Qingchen's sarcastic words, not only did he not get angry, but he laughed and said, "The language of the King of Northern Liao is really sharp, I just wonder if the combat effectiveness of the cavalry around Lu Dao is also like your language?" I'm really looking forward to itβ"
"General Sang doesn't need to be in a hurry, I can let you see it later, so that you can come to Dayan this time later!" Ji Qingchen said with a faint smile.
He never gave any face to the enemies who invaded Dayan, especially a brutal general like Sang Xiong, who was even more unpopular with Ji Qingchen.
"Humph! Ji Qingchen, don't be arrogant, this time you are dead, in today's battle, General Ben will definitely not let you go. Sang Xiong was finally angered by Ji Qingchen, and said fiercely with an angry face.
"This king is waiting for you, don't let this king down later!" Ji Qingchen smiled indifferently, and no longer talked to Sang Xiong, but rode to his camp.
Sang Xiong just quietly watched Ji Qingchen's back, watching Ji Qingchen leave step by step, he wanted to shoot Ji Qingchen off the horse with an arrow, but he still didn't dare to make this decision, so he let Ji Qingchen stay away from his sight and returned to the main formation.
However, what Sang Xiong didn't expect was that as soon as Ji Qingchen returned to his own formation, he immediately gave the order to attack.
Mulberry Xiong's people were still in front of the two armies, but Ji Qingchen's move almost scared Sang Xiong off his horse, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran to his camp, and when he arrived at his own formation, he immediately looked back at Ji Qingchen, and found that the Dayan cavalry on the opposite side had launched an attack formation, and 10,000 cavalry were ready to kill him step by step.
"Prepare for battleβ" Mulberry Bear was out of the danger zone, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the order to fight.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
The long horn blew the clouds of warβ
Among the 40,000 foot soldiers around Sang Xiong, 20,000 foot soldiers are back soldiers, and 20,000 foot soldiers are also the elite of the elite, and the 40,000 army immediately launched a formation after receiving Sang Xiong's order, of which 20,000 elite foot soldiers are step by step to meet the 10,000 Dayan cavalry that rushed towards him on the opposite side.
Knock ββ! Knock ββ! Knock ββ! Knock ββ!
In an instant, the battlefield was filled with a terrifying atmosphere that was enough to suffocate people, and at the same time, the earth began to tremble after slowly spreading its center with 10,000 cavalry.
"Killβ"
10,000 iron horsemen slaughtered the enemy under the leadership of Ji Xuanyuan, and they shouted loudly, "The majestic Great Yan will never fall!" The blood is inexhaustible, and the fight to the death is endless! β
"War-War-War-Warββ!"
The 20,000 Lingnan infantry did not dare to lag behind, and they met the 10,000 Dayan Iron Cavalry step by step, and shouted loudly at the same time.
The Great War has begun!
