Chapter 600: Complete Victory
When Zilong's sentence "I want to try" just said it, it hadn't landed yet. White Horse has already moved.
When they saw the Flying Wing Battalion appear, Gongsun Zhan's troops stopped briefly and stood as quiet as a mountain, but their start and attack maintained an amazing tacit understanding. The troops of 3,000 people, starting from Gongsun Zhan and down to the ordinary cavalry, all of them rode on extremely majestic white horses, without any warning, and under the starry sky, 3,000 white shadows started almost at the same time.
As soon as he moved, the flying wing battalion all had a feeling of amazement, "It is worthy of being the white horse righteous servant of the north, and it is worthy of being the trump card unit of the Beiping Army!" ”
In the cavalry team of 3,000 people, not a single horse roared, even the sound of the horse's hooves stomping on the ground was stepping on the neat nodes, and the 3,000 people were like one person. Moreover, although the degree has not yet reached the fastest, the initiation degree of Baima Yicong has already made Zhao Yun's heart sink.
"Sure enough, it's a good opponent!"
Zhao Yun also had some praise for Bai Ma Yicong in his heart. It is not fortunate that this force has made such a reputation. Although stunned, Zhao Yun's command of the troops was not chaotic at all, and less than a second after Bai Ma Yi was activated, the Flying Wing Battalion also moved.
More than 550 horsemen, did not face the White Horse Yicong to kill the past, the purpose of the flying wing battalion to appear here is to drag the White Horse Yicong and buy time for the Wuhuan coalition army to concentrate its forces to defeat the infantry of the Beiping Army. Zilong chose to retreat without hesitation!
The prestige of the Beiping Army, especially the terror of the White Horse Yicong, has long left a psychological shadow in the hearts of the Wuhuan coalition army, and no one wants to touch this hard bone, this glorious and arduous task finally fell on the body of the Flying Wing Battalion. This is also the result of Feng Xiang's agreement with the Wuhuan people before he first participated in this war.
Only the Flying Wing Battalion, which is also a special type of troops and a cavalry, can be able to not fall behind in a head-to-head confrontation with Bai Ma Yi!
However, the strength of the White Horse Righteous Servant is more than five times that of the Flying Wing Battalion, and in such a situation, it is not only unreasonable to ask the Flying Wing Battalion to fight a tough battle with the White Horse Righteous Servant, but also has no brains. As far as Ah Niu is concerned, he definitely doesn't want the precious flying wing cavalry to pay too much price in this war.
Feng Xiang is not the protagonist of this war!
The Flying Wing Battalion, which was originally in a decisive posture, suddenly retreated, somewhat out of Gongsun Zhan's expectations, no matter what kind of calculation the Flying Wing Battalion had, Bai Ma Yicong could only continue to pursue, this mountain road of nearly ten miles was the only way to reach the county seat of Wuzhong.
Half a minute later, the two cavalry units had reached their fastest. Before that. The first to start the White Horse Yicong continued to close the distance between the two armies, but when the two cavalry units reached the limit, the White Horse Yicong could no longer narrow the gap.
The White Horse Followers led by Gongsun Chan himself had never encountered cavalry that ran faster than them.
The horses of the White Horse Yicong are all carefully selected high-grade horses, and Gongsun Chan also has the characteristics of "cavalry proficiency", and the traditional "sprint" of the White Horse Yicong's legion can increase the maximum degree of the troops by fifty percent. When it came to war with the northern nomads, the White Horse's obedience was one of their proudest assets, but now, no matter how hard they tried, they could not get any closer.
The competition between the two light cavalry in terms of degree is evenly divided!
Gongsun Zhan's gaze turned cold, "Fengxiang City's troops are quite fast, first-class deserters, once their degree slows down, they will know what a stupid thing it is to challenge the White Horse Yicong!" ”
Gongsun Chan had every reason to believe that if the Flying Wing Battalion dared to turn back and fight, Bai Ma Yicong would win the final victory without any suspense. Of course, Gongsun Chan himself also understands that this is not worth boasting about, Bai Mayi's advantage in terms of strength is very obvious, and it is also an elite division, and the huge disadvantage of one to five is already destined to be impossible for the Flying Wing Battalion to fight hard.
At present, the distance between the two armies is fixed at two hundred paces, and there is only twenty steps left, and the archers of the White Horse Righteous Servant can be powerful, and their degree has reached the limit.
As an elite division that has been famous in history, the cavalry of the White Horse Righteous Servants are all good at fighting, the effective range of ordinary archers is between 100 and 130 paces, and the effective range of the White Horse Righteous Servants is 180 steps in the Legion tradition and the main general bonus state.
That's an amazing range!
However, the White Horse soon revealed a fact: the range of the Flying Wing Battalion was even farther than theirs!
The bowstring sounded. Two hundred paces away, dozens of feathered arrows flew over with the wind, slashing their heads and stabbing towards the white horse Yi cavalry at the front. Two horsemen fell from their horses, and several others avoided the vital point, but they were wounded but could not avoid it.
Everyone in the White Horse is dressed in light armor, and with the defensive bonus brought by the legion tradition, unless you shoot a part that is not protected by armor, ordinary arrow attacks cannot pose a heavy threat to the cavalry of the White Horse Righteous Servant. **The naked degree is in front of you, and two of the fallen white horses are shot in the chest from the cavalry, which shows that the arrows of the flying wing battalion have extremely powerful lethality!
Gongsun Chan couldn't help but gasp, not inferior to Bai Ma Yicong's degree, and the accurate shooting from two hundred steps away made Bai Ma Yicong out of reach, powerful long-range killing, what kind of army is this? Bai Ma Yi has almost never experienced a situation of fighting more and less since he became an army, and the battle with the Flying Wing Battalion was a precedent, but he was surprisingly suppressed by the Flying Wing Battalion.
Can't catch up, can't shoot, but the other party can leisurely continue to shoot arrows, patiently harvesting the lives of the White Horse righteous soldiers!
"Could it be that my White Horse Yicong can't compare to the Flying Wing Battalion in Fengxiang City? How can it be! ”
Gongsun Zhan's confidence in victory began to waver.
In fact, there is no doubt about the excellence of the White Horse Yicong, this elite cavalry that has been left in history has extraordinary combat effectiveness, and its ability in some aspects is by no means comparable to that of the Flying Wing Battalion. In this battle, Bai Ma Yi had no choice but to take the flying wing battalion and sadly became a live target, only because of the differences in the characteristics of the two units and various objective factors on the battlefield, which created this situation.
White Horse Legion Tradition, Sprint: Cavalry units with this tradition are increased by 5o%; Unit defense, long-range lethality, and effective range are increased by 3o%; Melee Attack increased by 4o%; This tradition does not contradict the characteristics of military generals.
According to the analysis of the legion tradition of the White Horse Yicong, the power of the sprint characteristics is breathtaking.
The White Horse is also a light cavalry, and the degree advantage of the light cavalry is well reflected in them, and at the same time, the troops have also been greatly improved in terms of defense, long-range killing, and range, and the melee attack power has been increased by 4o%. More of an amazing property.
This unit is stronger than most light cavalry in long-range strikes, but they are better at melee combat, like the heavy cavalry. To put it simply, the White Horse Yicong is a strong cavalry that combines the degree of light cavalry, the defense of heavy cavalry and the ability of close combat, they not only have outstanding long-range strike ability, but also have stronger melee combat ability!
This kind of trait makes Gongsun Zhan's elite cavalry quite a bit of an all-round warrior, whether it is a sports war or a positional war, whether it is harassment or pursuit, Bai Mayi can afford everything and let it go!
The sum of Bai Ma Yi's bonuses to various stat values from the "Dash" tradition is 18o%, which is 15o% higher than the sum of the "Mounted Archery" traditional ability bonuses of the Flying Wing Battalion (Mounted Archery: +5o% each for Troop Degree, Long-range Lethality, and Effective Range!).
However, the "omnipotence" of the Northern Ma Yicong is almost unstoppable against ordinary troops, but it may become their biggest weakness when facing opponents of the same level.
Although the total value of the ability bonus is large, it is distributed across five individual items, and the average bonus of each individual item is only 36%; Although the total bonus value of the Wing Battalion is small, the bonus on the three individual items is 5o%.
The "Breaking Strong" tradition of the Trapped Camp is even more extreme, with a total of only two abilities with a total of 1oo% bonus, and the attack power increase reaches 8o%, which also makes the Legend of the Trapped Camp "Every Attack Destroys the Broken" legend (the Broken Camp tradition also has the feature of "reducing the effectiveness of the enemy's formation", which is not reflected in the numerical value, but the importance is self-evident).
That's the difference between specialization and both!
In terms of the bonus to the troops, their "dash" has the same effect as the "cavalry shooting" of the Flying Wing Battalion, and the degree advantage that they are proud of when facing other units is impossible to talk about in front of the Flying Wing Battalion.
Although the defense capability and firing range of the troops have also been improved, the range of the flying wing battalion has an absolute advantage, and the "long-range lethality increase of 5o%" has also prevailed against the "3o% increase in defense power" of Bai Ma Yicong.
Their other killer weapon, "melee combat", has no room to wield it at all.
In addition, the Flying Wing Battalion's preparation for this battle was far better than that of the White Horse Righteous Servant. Before Zhao Yun left Fengxiang, he knew that there was only one opponent that the Flying Wing Battalion needed to face: White Horse Yicong. Prior to this, Zilong had collected a large amount of information about the White Horse Yicong, and in terms of understanding the opponent, the Flying Wing Battalion was very well prepared.
The choice of the battlefield, the initiative is also on the side of the flying wing battalion. This section of the terrain in Xu Wushan is relatively open, and a long straight road is more conducive to the long-range attack of the flying wing battalion and the galloping of war horses, which is a battlefield carefully selected by Zilong.
Zilong had already learned the tactics of the White Horse Yicong, and this arrangement made the characteristics of the Flying Wing Battalion get the maximum swing, so as to take the initiative in the battle. The almost omnipotent White Horse Yicong was completely suppressed by the Flying Wing Battalion in this way, and in the face of the Flying Wing Battalion who was bent on fighting guerrilla warfare, the White Horse Yicong could only follow the life of eating ashes behind his ass.
Of course, this does not mean that the strength of the Flying Wing Battalion is beyond that of the White Horse Righteous Servant. The two forces have their own merits, but this duel has been introduced into the rhythm of the Flying Wing Battalion in advance!
White Horse Yi fell from the arrow continuously!
The two cavalry had galloped for six or seven miles, and nearly 100 Bai Ma Yi fell from the arrow, and more than 300 people were injured, and Bai Ma Yi never even shot an arrow!
It won't be long before the two armies will enter a wider official road, and by that time, the number of arrows fired by the Wingwing Battalion will be multiplied!
Gongsun Zhan glared angrily, he couldn't do anything about the current situation, and the strength of the Flying Wing Battalion was beyond his imagination. Gongsun Chan understood that if this situation continued, not only would Bai Ma Yicong not be able to defeat the enemy with more than 500 cavalry, but under the accurate shooting of the Flying Wing Battalion, he would not even dare to lead his troops to advance towards Wuzhong County, if he did that, I am afraid that before he reached Wuzhong County, Bai Ma Yicong would lose at least 1,000 people.
Even if he rushes to it at any cost, under the siege of more than 40,000 Wuhuan cavalry outside Wuzhong County and the Flying Wing Battalion, how long can Baima Yicong hold out? How many people will be left at the end of the battle?
Fork in the road to.
The Flying Wing Battalion, which was bent on blocking the enemy, turned right under the leadership of Zhao Yun, and this result was not difficult to predict, if Gongsun Chan wanted to save the county seat, he had to bear the price of being shot by the Flying Wing Battalion along the way.
Gongsun Zhan made a difficult choice, and Bai Mayi turned left like a whirlwind, and the degree did not slow down at all, and embarked on the road back to Beiping. Zilong, who had been paying attention to Bai Ma Yicong's movements, ordered the troops to stop, and sighed, "Gongsun Chan is worthy of being a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles, and he will not hesitate to make a decision immediately!" ”
Only in this way can the elite White Horse Yicong avoid the doom of being shot, even if the Flying Wing Battalion turns its head to chase after it, it will take a certain amount of time, and the two troops are almost the same. The Flying Wing Battalion has lost the opportunity to continue to expand its gains.
In this way, it also means that Gongsun Chan slowed down the time to meet with Yan Gangbu, and among the trade-offs between 3,000 Baima Yicong and 10,000 Beiping foot soldiers, Gongsun Chan chose the former without hesitation.
The Wuhuan coalition army has strong troops, and the Flying Wing Battalion only needs to hold off Bai Ma Yicong for a period of time, and the result of this battle is already doomed, and the Flying Wing Battalion is lightly armed without any pressure. On the other hand, Baima Yicong, Gongsun Zhan knew that the Beiping infantry who reinforced the county town of Wuzhong might be in trouble, and was surrounded and killed by the Wuhuan cavalry with superior forces, and his impetuousness was certain.
Ruo Zilong's goal is not to hold back the White Horse Followers, but to stop the advance of the White Horse Followers, once the two cavalry units start to fight in close quarters, the Flying Wing Battalion will be at an absolute disadvantage. Regardless of the combat power of the main general, in a melee duel with the same military strength, the Flying Wing Battalion will definitely lose!
This is not an absolutely fair contest, but success or failure on the battlefield, Bai Ma Yicong is defeated after all, although Gongsun Chan is unwilling, he has to admit this fact.
After running for four or five miles, seeing that the Flying Wing Battalion did not chase after him, Gongsun Zhan stopped his troops and stopped on the official road, and a few minutes later, Bai Mayi marched in the direction of Wuzhong County again. This decision is a great risk, if we meet the Flying Wing Battalion again, the dilemma of being tied up and shot that we have managed to get rid of will come again!
After all, Gongsun Chan still couldn't ignore Yan Gang and 10,000 elite soldiers.
"A small army of more than 500 people, once it is surrounded, it is almost impossible to escape, Zheng Aniu will definitely not take that risk. The cavalry unit in Fengxiang City may have rushed to Wuzhong County and joined those Wuhuan coalition forces. ”
Peiping Taishou thought so, but the actual situation made him extremely disappointed.
Two miles before the fork, the Flying Wing Battalion was in full array, blocking the official road to the county seat of Wuzhong, and Bai Ma Yicong had to stop. Gongsun Zhan saw that the Flying Wing Battalion had not relaxed its vigilance, and if Bai Ma Yicong forcibly sprinted, before Bai Ma Yi Cong entered the effective firing range, the Flying Wing Battalion's degree would be at its peak, and there would be no second possibility to continue to advance except for increasing casualties.
Zhao Yun, who was in white robe and silver armor, urged the blue-maned horse to move forward slowly, and the Flying Wing Battalion was left in place.
"Zhao Zilong of Fengxiang City, please answer Gongsun Taishou."
Zhao Yun's actions clearly conveyed a message that there was no malicious intent in the dialogue. Gongsun Chan hesitated, but still drove the white horse to meet him alone, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed, and he stopped moving forward when he was fifty paces.
"What's the matter with General Zhao?"
After the chase battle just now, Gongsun Chan no longer dared to despise the young Zhao Yun, putting aside the hostile position at this time, this was a respectable opponent.
"If Gongsun Taishou is now ready to go to Wuzhong County and join up with another Beiping Army reinforcement, Zilong's duty is to not dare to let Gongsun Taishou go over. Zilong wanted to remind Gongsun Taishou that the other Beiping army was not only facing the siege of 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry outside Wuzhong County, but also 20,000 cavalry to take its back road. The sincerity in Zhao Yun's words is clearly visible.
Gongsun Zhan's eyes froze, he knew the terrain of the pig cage slope, although the 10,000 foot soldiers led by Yan Gang were all elite, it was impossible to stop the siege of 50,000 crazy Wuhuan cavalry! When this judgment was made, Gongsun Chan didn't know that the tactics of the Wuhuan people had also been improved.
"Why did General Zhao sue me about this? Isn't it not that the more hostile our army is, the heavier the losses of our army? ”
Zhao Yun said solemnly: "Gongsun Taishou doesn't know anything, and today's battle with your army is really a last resort. The fourth brother asked Zilong to tell General Gongsun a word: Why did the war between the Beiping army and the Wuhuan people break out, and who is who no longer needs to be investigated, and the important thing is how to end this war as much as possible, so that the people of Beiping and the Wuhuan tribes can regain peace.
This war has already caused the people of Beiping to suffer a lot, and many hot-blooded men have lost their lives, and such a war will intensify the contradictions, lead the Han people and the Hu people in the north to further confrontation, and thus lead the vendetta between the zhì ethnic groups to never end. Maybe Gongsun Taishou does not agree with this point of view, but also for the sake of the people of Beiping, make a slight concession, in this way, Fengxiang is willing to do his best to resolve the dispute between the two families! ”
Gongsun Chan couldn't help but be silent.
No matter how hostile Gongsun Chan was to the Hu people, he had to admit that it was not for nothing that the Wuhuan tribes reported the revenge regardless of the cost and life and death. At that time, the excessive toughness not only caused Gongsun Zhan to attract a lot of scolding, but also made Youbeiping County pay a heavy price.
If the Beiping army has frequent successes on the battlefield, it would be fine if the Wuhuan coalition army did not have the strength to fight back, but now the situation is just the opposite: the Wuhuan coalition army is suddenly possessed by divine light, and the Beiping army is at a disadvantage, if Yan Gang's 10,000 foot soldiers are defeated, the Beiping army has no more way than to defend the city and wait until the Wuhuan people leave on their own after venting their anger!
Under the scorched earth policy of the Wuhuan people, what will be left of Youbeiping County in the end?
After being silent for a while, Gongsun Chan asked in a deep voice, "Feng Xiang sent troops to help the Wuhuan people, but now he wants to resolve the dispute between the two families, I want to know, which side is Fengxiang City on?" ”
Zhao Yun said patiently: "The reason why the fourth brother sent troops to help the Wuhuan people is because the fourth brother thinks that the reason why this battle broke out is because Gongsun Taishou went too far in dealing with the Beiping bloody case, and the Wuhuan people deserve sympathy." In fact, there are many people who hold on to this kind of thinking, including Mr. Lu Zhi, who thinks so.
Now I want to turn the conflict into a jade silk...... Although the fourth brother did not agree with Gongsun Taishou's high-pressure policy towards the Hu people in the north, he also respected Gongsun Taishou's efforts for the right to survive of the Han people in Youzhou over the years. At the end of the day, we are all Han Chinese after all. ”
On the issue of policy towards the Hu people, it is difficult to determine whether Gongsun Zhan's approach is right or wrong for a while. But in this war with the Wuhuan people, Gongsun Zhan should be fully responsible for this, there should be no doubt!
Gongsun Chan lowered his head, he had already felt Zilong's sincerity, and when the victory and defeat had been divided, Zilong really had no need to slander him.
"General Zhao just said that the teacher also thinks that I did something wrong in this matter?"
Zhao Yun nodded, "Before sending troops, the fourth brother went to Luoyang to discuss with Mr. Lu Zhi in person. Mr. Lu is deeply respected by everyone in Fengxiang, if this matter is not understood by Mr. Lu, how can the fourth brother send troops lightly and confront Mr. Lu's proud disciple on the battlefield? ”
Gongsun Chan let out a long sigh, "That's it." Now that the matter has come to this, how does the city lord of Ah Niu plan to resolve this dispute? The Beiping army has been defeated, and several reinforcements have been designed by you to retreat, how can the Wuhuan people stop here? ”
"It's difficult, but it's not without opportunities.
The battle outside Wuzhong County should be nearing the end, and the Wuhuan cavalry of the brigade will soon come to meet it, and Gongsun Taishou had better take his troops back to Beiping first. The fourth brother will visit again soon, and Lord Taishou will also take advantage of this time to think more about it so as not to make a wrong judgment. ”
Five minutes later, Bai Ma Yi was gone.
The following does not count as words:
Hmm, I was going to finish the Youzhou War in four or five chapters, but now it seems to be a little out of control, and a battle that is not very important and has no direct relationship with the protagonist's territory has been written so much.
Fortunately, it's almost finished, and it should be over tomorrow, if you're interested, you might as well guess the harvest of Feng Xiang's participation in this battle.
ps: The trade relations with the Wuhuan tribes have already been revealed in the book, not counted, but what else?
This question can't be like Zhang Erniang's identity, everyone can guess right, right. (To be continued)
