Chapter Ninety-Eight: The First Confrontation Between Zhou Yafu and Wu Sangui

"Kill!"

Wu Sangui led five hundred light cavalry to pursue and kill 2,000 soldiers in the town of Boulevard on the plain.

The pressure on Xueyue Town was too great, and it had to send soldiers stationed in Linyin Town to reinforce it, but it was ambushed by Wu Sangui's cavalry, and the two thousand soldiers in Linyin Town were defeated.

The commander of the other party is Wu Sangui, and there are 500 cavalry, and on the premise of a successful ambush, there are not many people who can stop it.

Wu Sangui brandished the Yanling waist knife, and the cold blade slashed down, bringing up a touch of blood.

Hundreds of Boulevard soldiers were killed by the swords or spears of the cavalry, and their corpses were strewn all over the field!

"These soldiers are vulnerable, if I have a Guanning Iron Cavalry, 20,000 such soldiers will not be able to stop my charge."

Wu Sangui caught up with a soldier from Grove Town, and using the speed of his war horse, he cut it down effortlessly.

"General, a unit with an unknown flag appeared in front, and several brothers were shot!"

While Wu Sangui's troops were chasing and killing the rout of Lin Yin Town, several light cavalry were killed by crossbow arrows and fell from their horses.

"Phew!"

Wu Sangui Lema.

A foot soldier appeared on the horizon, carrying a banner completely different from Snow Moon Town and Boulevard Town.

"Do they have a second support army?"

Wu Sangui was slightly surprised, he speculated that the other party had deployed a reinforcement army outside the town and successfully destroyed the reinforcement force of 2,000 people, but he never imagined that there would be a second reinforcement army to support Xueyue Town.

The 2nd Support Army was disciplined, with gunmen and shieldmen marching in order, and crossbowmen in the rear.

Just now, three light cavalry ran into the support and were mercilessly shot by the crossbowmen.

"The other party's general should also be a general."

Wu Sangui and Zhou Yafu met for the first time between the two armies, one commanding the light cavalry and the other commanding the light infantry.

"Assemble now!"

Probably sensing that Zhou Yafu was not good, Wu Sangui gathered the light cavalry that chased and killed the soldiers of Linyin Town, and carefully dealt with Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu and Liu Sandao faced Wu Sangui, who still had more than 400 horsemen, and were equally careful, forming a tight phalanx to prevent Wu Sangui's cavalry from destroying the formation, and then a pig rushed away.

The light cavalry occupied too much of an advantage in this plain terrain, and Zhou Yafu, who had no cavalry in his hands, frowned.

Being targeted by a squad of light cavalry on the plains was not a pleasant thing.

"This light cavalry should be our enemy. Liu Sandao, you can't fight easily. ”

Zhou Yafu is a defensive commander, and before he knows the ability of the enemy general, he ordered Liu Sandao, who is the deputy general, not to act rashly.

At the same time, Zhou Yafu summoned the rout of the town of Lin Yin and ordered them to regain their strength in the rear.

Zhou Yafu annexed the soldiers and townsmen of the villages and towns along the way, and now there are 2,700 people, plus the rout of Linyin Town, there are about 4,000 people, forming a military advantage over Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui occupied the mobility, Zhou Yafu occupied the numerical advantage, both sides were guarding against the other, and no one took the initiative to attack.

Zhou Yafu knew that although he had a large number of troops, he was a rabble. Except for the soldiers of less than 1,000 people in Xia Town, who are elite, the rest of the soldiers are either from other towns or are village warriors. If he takes the initiative to attack, and the formation of 4,000 people is chaotic, then Wu Sangui's light cavalry will cut into the formation with a saber and win a great victory.

Wu Sangui did not dare to take the initiative to attack, Zhou Yafu's army included third-order Xuzhou archers, and some second-order infantry were using infantry crossbows.

The two sides are maneuvering with each other, like two patient hunters.

The mayor of Linyin Town was sweating profusely and came to find Zhou Yafu: "This brother, thank you so much, you are the military general of Xia Town, right?" If it weren't for your timely arrival, Lao Tzu would have died here today. Damn, the people of the War Soul Guild are too ruthless, they specially ambushed a cavalry, just waiting for me to come to the rescue, but Lao Tzu was chased and killed by this cavalry for a full five miles! Uncle him, don't let Qi Xiaobai of the Battle Soul Guild fall into my hands! ”

Zhou Yafu heard a lot of things from this Inhuman Lord, and couldn't help but have a headache: "Is Snow Moon Town still holding on?" ”

"It's still guarding, Xueyue can support such a big guild, and the town she built herself won't fall so easily."

"Let's go to Snow Moon Town."

Zhou Yafu observed the surrounding environment and had to enter the nearby Xueyue Town in order to get rid of the troublesome light cavalry and get supplies.

Zhou Yafu didn't have many arrows left, and once the arrows were exhausted, it would be even more dangerous.

The 4,000-strong infantry archers began to pull out of the camp, marching at an extremely slow pace towards the town of Snow Moon under the watchful eye of the light cavalry.

Wu Sangui was still patiently waiting for the timing of the assault, and he constantly sent small groups of cavalry to detour left and right, trying to disrupt Zhou Yafu's formation.

"The overseer team listens to orders, and anyone who panics will be killed!"

Zhou Yafu sent a small team of warlords to stabilize the formation and not give Wu Sangui a chance to attack.

The two forces confronted each other, and Zhou Yafu approached Xueyue Town without hurrying.

Xueyue Town was less than 5 kilometers, because Wu Sangui's cavalry was eyeing it, but Zhou Yafu and the others walked for most of the day, and finally saw the city of Xueyue Town and the camp of the War Spirit Guild.

Now both camps are in disarray.

Xue Yue was the first to react: "Our reinforcements have arrived, open the gate and receive the reinforcements!" ”

Under the leadership of Snow Moon, Snow Moon sent two thousand defenders out of the town.

"Kill them!"

Qi Xiaobai led the Battle Spirit Coalition Army out of the camp to intercept it almost at the same time to prevent Zhou Yafu from converging with the Wolf Coalition Army!

"Now it's time to attack!"

Wu Sangui had been waiting for the opportunity, and on the outskirts of Xueyue Town, the light cavalry pulled out their waist knives and finally showed their sharp fangs!

The four troops were in a scuffle, and the original offensive and defensive battle became a four-way battle, and it was even difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy!

Wu Sangui's cavalry broke through among the soldiers of Boulevard, Zhou Yafu's spear and shield phalanx broke through the battle spirit coalition army, and the wolf line coalition army tried to merge with Zhou Yafu, and the archers struggled to discern where the enemy was......

When Zhou Yafu's troops came to Xueyue Town, it was close to sunset, the days were short and the nights were long, and soon the battlefield became dark, and the two sides who had not prepared torches could not distinguish each other clearly.

So after a fierce battle between the two sides, it seems that they have reached a tacit agreement and withdraw their troops.

Zhou Yafu led reinforcements into Xueyue Town.

The first time he clashed with Wu Sangui, Zhou Yafu did not win and did not suffer. Wu Sangui died a lot of cavalry, and the training cost of each cavalry was much higher than that of infantry and village warriors.

Zhou Yafu achieved his strategic goal - he successfully joined the Wolf Gang Alliance, and the defenders of the town reached more than 7,000 people.

"General Zhou, we meet again."

Xue Yue had seen Zhou Yafu on the battlefield in Guangzong County, and knew that this was the most proficient general under Chu Tian's command.

The arrival of reinforcements sent by Chutian to Commander Zhou Yafu is enough to show that Chutian attaches great importance to the northern part of Kaiyang County.

Zhou Yafu replied calmly: "On the orders of the lord, I came to reinforce me, and fortunately I did not disgrace my life." ”

Xue Yue got this batch of reinforcements and had the idea of counterattacking: "Maybe we can fight back, our defenders are no less than the siege troops outside!" ”

Zhou Yafu shook his head: "Please wait, there is a second batch of reinforcements on the way." ”

Xue Yue and the other lords of the Wolf Guild were somewhat shocked, they didn't expect Xia Zhen to send two teams of reinforcements, it was just the power of one lord.
