Chapter 1102 Trap or Coincidence?

Across a big river in front of him, the 200,000 Montenegrin army with amazing combat strength could not pass.

In the firelight on the other side of the river, you can see the wolf cavalry galloping across the river, and you can see that the Han infantry has gradually broken down. On the river, the Han sailors began to slowly evacuate, and when the battle situation could not be changed, it was reasonable for the sailors to leave in order to protect themselves.

Gai Yu's brow was locked deeply, and his heart was full of doubts.

Why do you make such a mistake?

Let the big ship take the wolf cavalry to the other side of the river, this is definitely not a good thing for the Black Flag Army, once it is in frontal contact, the plain field, even if the Black Flag Army is well-trained, it is difficult to win in the face of the impact of nearly 200,000 wolf cavalry. How could someone like Fang Xie not consider such a situation?

Gai Yu firmly believes that Fang Xie is not a person who will feel that everything is worry-free as soon as he agrees.

Because of this suspicion, Gai Yu always felt that he was seeing an illusion. Even if it seemed that the fight on the other side was real, he still felt that it was fake. If it had been someone else, he might have ordered the construction of a pontoon bridge to prepare for the crossing, because neither side on the other side of the river had spare strength to prevent the Montenegrin army from crossing the river. During the period of the Central Plains campaign, especially in the many battles preparing to force the crossing of Yishui, the Montenegrin army had learned the method of building pontoon bridges by the Han Chinese.

Although it is now in a hurry to wait until the pontoon bridge is built, this kind of opportunity is undoubtedly a great temptation for the Montenegrin army.

A battle can destroy Meng Ge and Fang Jie.

but

Gai Yu was an excellent general, and his years of experience in leading hundreds of battles told him that such temptations seemed delicious, but they were often traps. If you rush over because of gluttony, the food on the other side will turn into a hideous and terrifying beast in an instant.

"General?"

His cronies tentatively called him: "Do you want to give the order to prepare to cross the river?" If you start preparing the pontoon now, you can finish it before dawn. ”

Gai Yu shook his head: "If we go now, we will be ambushed by people halfway through the river." I decided to come back because it was really an opportunity. But now it seems that this sudden opportunity may have been an illusion created by the enemy. ”

"So what do we do?"

His cronies asked.

Gai Yu glanced back at the riding school who had collapsed on the ground in a coma not far away, and his brow furrowed even deeper. He had already sent his subordinates with good cultivation to cross the river to investigate, and if there was really a great cultivator to fight, he would definitely not be able to hide it. If it was confirmed that Fang Xie was really entangled by a great cultivator of unknown origin and could not be separated, then it was somewhat possible for Meng Ge to take the opportunity to lead the army to attack.

Before the matter was confirmed, Gai Yu decided to wait and see.

Time passed slowly, and the moon slowly shifted from one side of the sky to the other. The sound of fighting on the other side has gradually subsided, and when the east shows the white of the fish's belly, there are not many people on the other side of the river. However, through clairvoyance, you can see the corpses in that place.

There were warhorses that had lost their owners standing there, waiting for their masters to wake up and fight side by side again.

Gai Yu didn't sleep all night, and from time to time he walked up the high slope to observe the situation on the other side.

When the sun became brighter, Gai Yu's face was still a little eager. From the analysis of the scene seen so far, there is no doubt that the Han people have been defeated. Looking at the clothes, most of the dead bodies on the ground were Han Chinese. Although there are also corpses of Mengyuan wolf knights, the number is much smaller than that of the Han Chinese.

The fact that there are not many people on the other side does not mean that the fighting is over, it should be the Meng Yuan people who are chasing the retreating Black Flag Army. On the other side of the river is the Shujing Road of the Great Sui, and there is no dangerous place in the Shujing Road, and there is a flat river. From Yishui to the east, until the junction with Gangbuk Province is an endless mountain.

If the Han people were defeated, they could only be chased and killed by the Mengyuan people all the way on the plains for hundreds of miles. When Emperor Yang Jian of the Great Sui Dynasty fought the first battle with the Mengyuan people in the northwest, he relied on the gun array to make the light cavalry suffer. Coming and going on the grassland like the wind, he was accustomed to rushing and killing the wolf cavalry, and the first time he faced the Han infantry in formation, it really seemed too arrogant. It was customary for them to think that a single charge would kill all the enemy, but when they rushed over, they found that it was not a delicious cake at all, but a quagmire.

After being caught in a gun formation, it was difficult for the light cavalry to move, and the soldiers sitting on horseback were simply targets for the spearmen, poking one at a time.

It is precisely because of that arrogance that in the first battle, the Mengyuan people paid an extremely painful price. Some people may not believe that the Great Sui soldiers in that battle were far inferior to the wolf cavalry in terms of strength, and they were infantry against cavalry, and as a result, the number of soldiers killed by the wolf cavalry was more than double the number of soldiers killed in the Great Sui battle.

But this is not absolute, the reason why the Han infantry in that battle was so brilliant in terms of results was because of the arrogance of the wolf cavalry, and secondly because the wolf cavalry did not understand the Great Sui soldiers.

With such a big victory, of course, don't forget that when Emperor Tianyou went on his first expedition to the west, nearly 700,000 elites were buried on the grassland. Once the spearmen and shieldmen were in formation, there really was nothing the light cavalry could do. But once the infantry was defeated and turned to flee, what could the light cavalry do but slaughter as much as they wanted?

On the grassland, the nearly 700,000 elite infantry who exposed their backs in front of the wolf cavalry were chased and slaughtered by the wolf cavalry in this way.

It seems that the defeat of the Black Flag Army is exactly the same as the defeat of the Sui Army on the grassland.

"There's a scout back!"

A personal guard came over and bowed his head to Gai Yu and said, "General, a few scouts sent across the river have returned, and they have brought back very important news!" ”

"General"

The scout centurion who had just rushed back from the other side looked a little tired, and his face looked a little yellow after not sleeping all night, and he was running around, so his face was very bad. But even so, the excitement on his face could not be hidden. So in this tired yellow, there is a red of excitement.

"Last night, it was indeed the Mengyuan people who won."

The scout's throat was a little dry and hoarse, perhaps because he had not drunk water: "My subordinates found a few Han families who had taken refuge in a forest, and they originally lived by the river to support the Han people, but last night the Mengyuan people suddenly killed them, and the Black Flag Army was caught off guard and even the camp was breached. The people fled to the woods and hid, narrowly avoiding the massacre of the previous night. ”

The scout centurion sorted out the wording and continued: "According to those Han people, it seems that Fang Xie took the initiative to send a big boat to pick up the wolf cavalry, in order to make the wolf cavalry not threatened, when crossing the river yesterday, the wolf cavalry and the war horse were still transported separately. When the wolf cavalry first arrived on the other side of the river, they were also stationed in the camp divided by the Black Flag Army, and the horses were guarded by the Black Flag Army. ”

When Gai Yu heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Why did you fight later?" ”

The centurion said: "Those few Han people don't know the details, but after dark, something suddenly happened in the camp of the Black Flag Army, they lived far away and saw the vision in the camp, one of them happened to go to the camp to deliver fish before coming back, he saw a large blue mist suddenly appeared in the distance, a radius of dozens of meters, followed by the fog around it shook like an earthquake, and even the ground cracked. ”

At first, the Han people were curious, and they leaned over to take a few looks, and he said that he saw that many tents were swept up by the hurricane, and then when he saw the place where the wind blew, the people were immediately crushed into pulp. He was so frightened that he ran away, saying that he would never forget that terrible scene for the rest of his life. ”

The centurion swallowed and continued, "My subordinates speculate that it should be a battle between great cultivators. Then someone saw that the blue mist began to move outside the camp, as if they didn't want the camp to be destroyed, they quickly moved to the outside of the camp, and then went east. ”

Soon after this vision, the Mengyuan people moved. It is said that the Mengyuan people took advantage of the chaos to storm the camp of the Black Flag Army, snatched the war horse back, and then began to storm the camp of the Black Flag Army. At that time, I didn't know what was wrong, the command of the Black Flag Army was in chaos, and there was almost no coordination between the battalions, so that the wolf cavalry broke through the Han camp in only one hour. ”

After hearing this, Gai Yu's tightly frowning brow relaxed a little.

"That cyan mist, it should be the blue realm of Fang Jie."

Gai Yu remembers very well what the realm of Fang Xie looked like. The battle between the two that day, although the time was very short, the shock to each other was incomprehensible. Fang Jie's Boundary Knife and his Knife Transformation Realm had a hard fight, but Gai Yu couldn't kill the enemy with one sword, so Gai Yu retreated in fear.

Gai Yu muttered a sentence and asked, "Have you ever found out about an old Taoist in a shabby Taoist robe in the Black Flag Army camp?" ”

"Yes!"

The scout centurion nodded vigorously: "This is what many people have seen, and the few Han people who were on the riverside saw it with their own eyes at that time. When Fang Xie sent a big boat to pick up the Mengyuan people to cross the river, the old Taoist in shabby Taoist robes appeared, and the reason why those Han people remembered it so clearly was because the old Taoist was very strange at that time, and they said that the old Taoist was holding an iron cable in his hand, and the other end of the iron cable was actually wrapped around a person's neck. It was as if he was leading a dog, and the person who was being led was wearing a white monk's robe with handsome eyebrows. ”

"Feel free!"

Gai Yu's face changed suddenly.

The centurion didn't notice the change in Gai Yu's face, and continued: "The old Taoist led the man in the white monk's robe to talk to Fang Xie and Meng Yuan Great Khan Meng Ge by the river and then left, heading west. ”

Meng Ge's heart is like turning the river and the sea!

Now it is almost certain that the reason why Da Zizi disappeared was because he was captured by an old Taoist named Xiao Yijiu. As for where they went, Gai Yu speculated that nine times out of ten they went to the Great Snow Mountain. And just after Xiao Yijiu left, a person with extremely strong cultivation suddenly came and fought with Fang Jie, so that Fang Xie had to leave the camp in order to avoid losses. Presumably, at that time, Meng Ge saw it with his own eyes. So Meng Ge immediately made a decision, ordered the wolf cavalry to snatch the war horse back, and then launched a surprise attack on the Black Flag Army.

All this should be a coincidence.

If it weren't for Xiao Yijiu's departure, Fang Xie would not have a great cultivator by his side as a helper, and that mysterious visitor would not dare to make a move, after all, Xiao Yijiu's cultivation is so strong, and now there are few people in the world who can stand out.

Fang Xie and the mysterious Great Cultivator fought fiercely and left, giving Meng Ge hope. For people like Meng Ge, he naturally will not give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Therefore, the wolf cavalry suddenly became powerful, and it became easy for the Black Flag Army to be defeated without defense.

Gai Yu took a deep breath, and his face gradually calmed down.

"Is this a coincidence?"

Gai Yu muttered to himself, although he had already speculated on this, he still had some doubts.

"Prepare the pontoon, but don't act rashly without my orders."

Gai Yu turned around and ordered: "I will cross the river myself to see the situation, if there is no ambush, I will send a signal to come, and you will cross the river at once!" ”

"Yes!"

All the generals of the Montenegrin Army responded with their fists clenched, and everyone's faces were solemn and solemn.
