Chapter 19: When it is broken, it is broken
As soon as the sky was bright, the black flag army that was facing each other outside the valley suddenly whistled, and there was a commotion in the neat camp tent, and after a stick of incense, a black torrent gathered together, like a tide, and it seemed that it was possible to attack at any time.
The scouts who were watching from the top of the hill quickly reported the incident, and the Northern Guards immediately assembled their entire army and waited for it.
Yang Weiyuan stood behind the Chinese army's defense line, squinted his eyes and looked out of the valley, and after a little groaning, he saw Su running to him with two dark circles under his eyes and crooked armor.
He frowned, and finally couldn't help but not reprimand Su in public.
"The Black Flag Army began to rearm at dawn, and it seems that your strategy has worked!"
Yang Weiyuan glanced at Su and said nonchalantly.
Su breathed a sigh of relief, the most difficult part of the plan was that the three thousand cavalry secretly Chen Cang, a long-distance raid on Yishui, in order to achieve this strategic goal, in addition to a series of tricks, he even did not hesitate to risk exposing the Chinese army in front of the Black Flag Army, just to drag down the main force of the Black Flag Army and create conditions for the capture of Yishui.
You must know that 50,000 infantry, in the absence of weapons and equipment such as knives and spears, and heavy cavalry field battles are tantamount to hitting stones with eggs, and there are almost no victories in ancient and modern China and abroad.
Judging from the performance of the Black Flag Army, he was right, the 3,000 cavalry of the Northern Guards should have conquered Yishui, and the news must have reached the Black Flag Army, shattering their confidence in the slow confrontation.
All that remains is for the Black Flag Army to storm the canyon in a hurry and fight a decisive battle with the Northern Guard.
This is the key battle of whether you can go home, win it, the Northern Wuwei will no longer be fettered, and can withdraw to Wei safely and steadily, but if you can't win, it will be a waste of previous achievements, and you still can't escape the end of the annihilation of the whole army.
Life or death is about to be decided!
Su couldn't help but get nervous, and a thin bead of sweat appeared in her palms.
Yang Weiyuan glanced back at him, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"Are you sure that the strange equipment you asked the craftsmen to make is really sure to stop the Black Flag?"
Yang Weiyuan asked worriedly.
Quirky equipment?
Su was slightly stunned, and then remembered the sketches he had drawn before, the horse rejection stakes, the blocking ropes, the ground thorn forest, and the trench six meters wide and two meters deep, full of sharp wooden thorns, as long as the Black Flag Army was not a real tank, it would definitely not be able to break through the frontal defense line.
Coupled with the strange wind in the Valley of the Crying Grave, once it suddenly sounded when the cavalry charged, it would immediately disturb the horses and throw the cavalry into chaos.
After all, the number of these three thousand black flags is too small, even if they are filled with corpses, it is impossible to break through the defense line from the front, so they can only turn to the mountain, and as long as they go up the mountain......
Su sneered: "It's okay, I didn't plan to confront the Black Flag Army head-on, but to force them to go up the mountain." ”
Yang Weiyuan glanced at him deeply, and suddenly shuddered: "You bury almost all the fierce fire oil on the mountains on both sides, just one spark can ignite the entire forest, once the Black Flag Army goes up the mountain, it will definitely die."
However, when you saw that the enemy did not attack immediately, you concluded that the enemy had seen through your plan, and now how sure are you that they will obediently go up the mountain? ”
Su shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, the initiative on the battlefield has always been in the hands of the Black Flag Army, and now the conspiracy has become a conspiracy, I have been working hard to build momentum to make the other party unable to bear the pressure and take the initiative to make mistakes, only in this way can we defeat the Black Flag Army!" ”
"Defeat the Black Flag Army?"
Yang Weiyuan's eyelids jumped, the Black Flag Army has been rampant on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he has not tasted defeat, even he never thought that he could defeat such a strong army, could it be that the Black Flag Army will really be planted in the hands of Xu Rui, a boy who is just sixteen years old, today?
This matter was already a bit unbelievable, but what really surprised him was that if the Black Flag Army was really wiped out, Yang Weiyuan would probably not be surprised.
Unconsciously, Xu Rui had already given Yang Weiyuan infinite strength, looking at his thin body, and then thinking of the Black Flag Army that fell into the trap step by step, Yang Weiyuan even had an illusion, there may be nothing in this world that this kid can't do, right?
When did your perception of him change like this?
Su didn't know that Yang Weiyuan was setting off a storm in his heart, so he patiently explained: "In the strategy of the Holy Lord, the Northern Wuwei only needs to undertake the task of blocking the enemy's reinforcements, and neither the weapons and equipment nor the mobility are enough to resist the Black Flag Army head-on.
It took me a lot of thought to create the only chance to defeat the Black Flag Army, and if we missed today, it would be impossible for our army to defeat this Black Flag Army, and because of its strong mobility, our retreat would be dangerous.
Therefore, success or failure is in one move, today either they die, or we die, if you want to live, today's battle must be won! ”
These words were not only for Yang Weiyuan, but also for himself, Su's two eyes narrowed into a thin line, looking at the tide-like black flag army formation from afar.
In the Black Flag Army Array, Zhong Qingyuan was jumping like thunder, and a whip stained with water was slammed on Wang Ting's body, and the skin and flesh were open and blood was flying everywhere he passed.
In the early hours of this morning, the scouts on the periphery of the Black Flag Army came to report and found a small group of people, at first Zhong Qingyuan thought it was an ambush of the Northern Wuwei, and immediately gathered the whole army to wait, but he didn't expect that what was waiting was the rout of the royal court.
Wang Ting was ordered by Shangguan Buda to lead 2,000 cavalry out of the city secretly, in a vain attempt to suddenly kill when the Black Flag Army was fighting with the Northern Wuwei and grab a military merit.
However, he set off a day late, marched according to the wrong information, and when he arrived sixty miles east of Yishui City, there was no trace of the Black Flag Army and the Northern Wuwei, so he had to return to Yishui in a huff.
Halfway through, the two thousand cavalry of the royal court happened to meet Lord Yishui Tongzhiqi, who broke through the siege and left the city.
Lord Qi originally wanted to go to Zhong Qingyuan's 3,000 black flags according to Shangguan's explanation, but he also thought that the Black Flag Army was in the east of Yishui City, so he went in the wrong direction and collided with Wang Ting, who had returned to his division.
When Wang Ting learned that the Wei army had descended from the sky and attacked Yishui bloodlessly, he was so frightened that he immediately turned his head to the south and fled towards the south.
But their luck was very bad, and it didn't take long for them to run into the 3,000 Wei troops who were heading south from Yishui City.
The 3,000 Wei cavalry led by Hong Qi followed Su's clever plan, replenished a large amount of supplies and rested for the night, burned Yishui, and then moved south, encountering the 2,000 men and horses of the royal court.
The brave wins, the Wei army is full of morale and unstoppable, but the Wu army is like a lost dog, and it will collapse at the first touch, so it has to continue to flee south.
After a whole night of pursuit, Wang Ting and Lord Qi led hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals and caught up with Zhong Qingyuan's main force by mistake.
When Zhong Qingyuan heard that Yishui City was broken, and the Wei army was rushing towards him, he was immediately furious, and this was the scene just now.
"Wake him up!"
Seeing that Wang Ting had passed out, Zhong Qingyuan coldly ordered, and immediately two sergeants carried a bucket of cold water and splashed it on his head, Wang Ting shivered and woke up, looked up, and met Zhong Qingyuan's cold gaze, and hurriedly fell to the ground and trembled.
"When Ben General left Yishui, he ordered the Yishui defenders to stabilize their defenses, and not a single soldier was allowed to leave the city, and you turned a deaf ear?!"
Zhong Qingyuan suppressed his anger and asked coldly.
Wang Ting trembled, fell to the ground and replied in a low voice, "Hui ...... Returning to the general, the last general will be ordered by the prefect of Shangguan to pursue the Wei army......"
Before he finished speaking, a whip slapped him on the mouth, and suddenly blood was dripping, flesh and blood were flying, and he couldn't say a word anymore, just kowtowed desperately with "woo", begging Zhong Qingyuan to spare his life.
Lord Qi knelt on the ground, hugged Zhong Qingyuan's thigh, and cried: "General, don't fight, don't fight, now that the army of the Northern Dynasty is pressing, please make plans early, make plans early!" ”
Zhong Qingyuan kicked away Lord Qi, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Where is Shangguan Buda now?" ”
Lord Qi cried: "When the city was broken, Lord Shangguan knew that he was deeply guilty, and he swore to live and die with Yishui, but now I am afraid that he will ...... I'm afraid I've already been martyred......"
With a "snap", Zhong Qingyuan interrupted the small tree beside him with a punch, and said angrily: "Shangguan Lao'er mistook me Da Wu, and he should be killed!" ”
A deputy general walked out of the Black Flag Army, hugged his fists and said: "General, at present, there are 50,000 Wei troops in the Valley of the Crying Tomb confronting our army, and tens of thousands of troops from the north are coming. ”
Zhong Qingyuan glanced at the man and asked, "What about your opinion?" ”
The man said: "General, my Black Flag Army is the prince's own army, there has always been no retreat, the Wei army in the north is still at least half a day away from our army, as long as our army launches a general attack, captures the Crying Tomb Valley within half a day, crushes the dream of the Northern Dynasty barbarians on both sides, and then turns around to deal with the enemy army in the north, it will definitely be able to fight down!" ”
As soon as these words came out, several black flag generals immediately echoed them, and one of the young generals who was just in his early twenties even hugged his fists and said: "General, our army and the Wei army have been confronted for two days, and there has been no movement of the Wei army.
As long as our army blocks both ends of the canyon and sends an army to dive down from the canyon, we will definitely be able to cut the Wei army into several sections, so that it will not be able to take care of the end of the end, and then the Wei army will be in chaos, and our army will definitely be able to win a complete victory! ”
"That's what you all think?"
Zhong Qingyuan coldly glanced at the generals, and the generals nodded again and again.
"Foolish!"
Zhong Qingyuan sneered: "Let me ask you, except for this partial division and the water division that stopped on the overflowing water, the 300,000 elites of the Northern Dynasty were trapped in the encirclement by the prince's army, where did the army that attacked Yishui City come from?" ”
"This ......"
The generals look at me, I look at you, and I can't help but look at each other.
For the generals of the Black Flag Army who have enshrined King Wuling as a god, they will not believe that anyone can escape from the prince's net, so where did this army that attacked Yishui and cut off their back road come from?
Seeing that no one answered, Zhong Qingyuan looked at Lord Qi who was lying on the ground.
"Lord Qi, did you really see tens of thousands of Wei troops breaking through Yishui?"
Lord Qi immediately kowtowed and said: "Returning to the general, the lower officials did see tens of thousands of troops breaking through Yishui, not only the lower officials, but also the generals who broke through with the lower officials also saw it with their own eyes, there is no half of a lie, and the general is also asked to be clear!" ”
Zhong Qingyuan looked at the military judge, and the military judge nodded slightly, confirming that what Master Qi said was true, and the generals were suddenly even more puzzled, and no one spoke with different expressions.
"Report!"
A scout rushed into the Chinese army and reported loudly: "General, the advance of the Wei army has been found thirty miles away, numbering at least three thousand, all of them light horsemen. ”
As soon as they heard this, the generals were in an uproar, and the deputy general who had offered the plan before hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "General, the speed of the Wei army's attack is much faster than expected, there are three thousand forwards alone, and they are all light horses, and the main force is at least more than 30,000!"
General, no matter where this Wei army comes from, it is a fact that its momentum has already endangered our army, and I ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible, and do not hesitate any longer! ”
Lord Qi also kowtowed and said: "General Zhong, the lower officials dare to guarantee with the head of Xiang, what Fang just said is not half a lie, and please ask the general to quickly defeat the Wei army and avenge thousands of soldiers in Yishui!" ”
The officer, who was in his early twenties, also said: "General, it is advisable to be cautious in the use of troops, but if you are too cautious and delay the fighter plane, won't you tie your hands and feet and regret it too late?"
Please give the general an order, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, lead a thousand men and horses to cut off the Wei army camp from both sides of the canyon, and defeat the enemy in one battle! ”
"General!"
"General!"
"The last general, please give the general's order!"
A group of black flag generals knelt on the ground and clenched their fists towards Zhong Qingyuan.
Although Zhong Qingyuan said that he was confident, he could disagree with the generals, saying that there was no pressure was false, at this time he frowned deeply, and his heart gradually began to waver.
Am I wrong, or is everyone wrong?
The prince said that when the army is in turmoil, it is dangerous, and the current enemy situation is unclear, and our army is in crisis, is it the time when the prince said that the army is in chaos?
What's more, since the beginning of the Yishui War, he seems to be controlled everywhere, and he is one step back, is there really such a general in the Wei army who is so exhaustive and extremely wise and close to the demon?
Or is it all just a coincidence?
Just as he was hesitating, another herald suddenly rushed over and shouted, "General, I have received the flying pigeon from the prince!" ”
The generals were stunned for a moment, and looked at the little soldier with a brush, Zhong Qingyuan took the flying pigeon and took a look, his frowning brows suddenly brightened, and he seemed to have a plan.
