Chapter Fifty-Six—Night Exploration of the East (Part II)
The army of the Feng Zhan Hui not only has rich combat experience, but also recruits most of the young and middle-aged men as soldiers, and their combat power is extremely strong. And the sword in this army is the 10,000 cavalry under Xu Chen and the 25,000 cavalry personally led by the leader of the Fengzhan Society. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is always stronger than that of the infantry army, and the mobility of the infantry army is not as good as that of the cavalry. Moreover, as long as the cavalry stretched the distance and made a short sprint, the infantry would be at a great disadvantage if they were not assisted by a large shield or crossbowmen. However, even if it was a well-equipped army like the Wind Gallop Army, and a pikeman with spears was placed behind the shield soldiers, the crossbowmen of the Yunpin Army had already been mobilized, and they immediately fired a salvo of bows and crossbows as soon as the opponent's cavalry entered the firing range. However, even with these two armies, they knew that most of the soldiers in the first row with large shields would not be spared, and they would naturally be killed by the strong impact of the cavalry.
Against cavalry, without the aid of both siege and defensive tools such as catapults and catapults, the only way to gain the advantage of the situation is to trade the death of a small number of troops. This is also the measure that the two armies are taking now.
However, not only that, Chen Jie also quietly mobilized the five thousand cavalry under his command, because he noticed the forest on the edge of the battlefield, which had not yet drawn out new branches.
When the two armies of the Fengqi Yunpin resisted the charge of the ten thousand cavalry of the Fengzhan Society, Chen Jie preserved the strength of his army, taking advantage of the fact that the Yunpin Army's ten thousand crossbows were released, the war horses of the Fengzhan Society kept falling, and the riders on the horses kept falling off their horses, the cavalry of the Qi State also made perfect use of such an opportunity, and mobilized all the five thousand cavalry into the forest road, preparing to implement the encirclement of the back of the Fengzhan Army.
Yuan Yu, the leader of the Wind Gallop Army, rode on a black horse to watch the battle, his eyes were always staring at the back of the Qi army leaving, and he couldn't help but be secretly angry in his heart, his army was so desperate, and they Qi retreated like this, and it was also called an ambush. If Qi succeeds, then it is natural that it will gain a lot and the damage will be minimal. Thinking of this, Yuan Yu unconsciously clenched his fists.
However, he also knew that this time was not a good time for civil strife, but Yuan Yu hated Chen Jie's behavior very much. The current battle of Donglinguan is a good thing for the possible alliance between the Qi State and the Feng State. But Chen Jie did such a thing, although Yuan Yu knew that it was not suitable for civil strife now, but Yuan Tao still had some mustard in his heart. Wei Ben, who was supervising the battle on the other side, couldn't see the expression on Yuan Tao's face clearly, so he naturally didn't notice the slightly strange expression on Yuan Tao's face, and now Wei Ben was engrossed in watching the figure of the cavalry charging over from the Feng Zhan Society. Although some of the cavalry of the Sealing Battle Society who charged had already fallen quite a bit under the attack of the strong bows and crossbows of the Yun Hiring Army. However, the remaining soldiers were still there in a fearless charge, seeing that the cavalry of the Sealed Battle would approach the vanguard of the Galloping Army, who were armed with large shields.
Wei Ben turned the spear in his hand, turned his horse around his crotch, and heard a thunderous shout: "The whole army, prepare to fight! The reserve army bypasses the detour! Yunpin army is out!"
The military order is like a mountain, and this is especially true among the well-trained two armies of Fengchi Yunpin, the 2,000 infantry phalanx of the Yunpin rear army instantly broke away from the large array, and this infantry phalanx did not move quickly. Instead, he leaned the sword in his hand on the small round shield in his right hand, turned the long sword in his hand and swung it, and the two thousand infantry Yunpin army began to slowly approach the phalanx of the Fengzhan army in front. At this time, the cavalry front army that would charge towards the Sealing Battle had already collided with the forward of the Shield Yao Sun's Wind Gallop Army, and suddenly a blood moon splashed.
The soldiers in the first three rows of the Wind Gallop Army armed with shields and spears could not withstand such a long distance charge of the war horses, and the three rows of Wind Gallop soldiers fell to the ground with a bang. However, the fate of their three platoon armies was the same, they resisted the all-out charge of the cavalry of the Sealing War Society, and this should be their fate.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Yu knew that now was not the time to care about anything else, so he pressed the pitch-red spear in his hand, pulled out the silver saber at his waist, and shouted loudly: "Rear army, counterattack!"
After the first three rows of the gallop army fell, the force of the cavalry shock of the Fengzhan Society had weakened, and the army after the third row of the gallop had begun to launch a counterattack under the mobilization of Yuan Yu. Three groups of soldiers armed with spears and knives rushed out, instantly surrounding the elite cavalry of the Fengzhan Society that had lost their momentum from both sides.
Yuan Wei's galloping army had already mobilized and began to encircle and annihilate such a cavalry of the Sealing Battle Society, while the 2,000 infantry army of the Yunpin Army in Wei Ben's hands began to steadily advance the remaining infantry led by Xu Chen, the master of the First Hall of the Sealing Battle Society. The cavalry led by Xu Chen himself had already rushed out to attack the Fengqi Liang army, and there were less than 5,000 infantry left by his side. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 infantry was not a strong army in the Sealed War Society, so when he keenly noticed the Qi cavalry coming out of the forest, Xu Chen immediately waved his hand and signaled the soldiers around him to blow the horn to return to the East Linguan. And he quickly returned to Donglinguan with the people who lived outside the East Linguan. After counting, Xu Chen lost more than 700 cavalry in his own hands and killed more than 1,000 enemies, which is still acceptable.
There were more than 3,000 people brought into the Donglinguan from outside the city, and among these people, Xu Chen and the army of the Fengzhan Society naturally did not find the three children who had mixed into the Donglinguan. Among the three children were a teenager in a blue robe and two girls in a white neon dress. The three children were about the same age, and their faces were covered with a lot of dust. If no one could take a closer look, they would not have been able to detect the maturity and depth in the eyes of the three children.
These more than 3,000 people were temporarily encamped in the residential area of the East Border Pass, and before the guards of the Sealing War Society could leave, the three children, who looked to be only ten years old, quickly jumped to the back of the residents' rooms and disappeared into the East Border Pass. Of course, the soldiers of the Sealing War Society guarding the more than 3,000 people naturally did not pay attention to these things, and the three children fled inexplicably, and they did not notice.
General Xu Chen, who commanded a tentative attack on today's Sealed War Meeting, took off the white eagle helmet on his head and connected it to his armpit. He mobilized his army to rest on the school grounds in the East Border Pass, and he himself walked to the outside of the Governor's Mansion in the East Gate, where the head of the Feudal War Society lived. Xu Chen walked in front of the red-brick and white-tiled mansion, and the two guards guarding the door of the mansion opened their spears, bowed down and said, "His Majesty Lord Xu is waiting for you inside, go in."
Xu Chen nodded to the two guards of the Sealed War Society, and then walked into the general's mansion in front of him. Xu Chen turned two corners and came to the front hall, where two fresh short bamboos were placed, adding a bit of freshness to the general's mansion.
This antechamber is not too bustling, and in this foyer there are four mahogany chairs and mahogany veneer tables. When Xu Chen's footsteps walked in, he immediately noticed a middle-aged man with a bronze mask sitting in the center of this front hall, this middle-aged man was wearing a black and purple robe, and the robe had a golden dragon on the sleeve. He wears a golden crown on top of his head. He held a porcelain bowl in his hand, and the porcelain bowl was filled with clouds. At the head of the man in the black golden dragon robe sat a woman in a crimson streamer phoenix tail dress, leisurely, her eyes moving slightly, like Mu Qinghua. The woman's head was draped in a crown of Fengxi's nine-tailed head, and nine pendants of different colors like tail feathers hung there. This is an ornament that only the queen can be qualified to wear, symbolizing the power of the phoenix and the power of the mother's honor in the world.
Xu Chen knelt on one knee and shouted respectfully: "Weichen see Your Majesty and the queen wish Your Majesty the blessing of the queen forever" The leader of the Fengzhan Society, the current Emperor of the Sealed Kingdom, and the eldest princess Rong Le of the Sealed Kingdom, the current Queen of the Sealed Kingdom!
The middle-aged man with a bronze mask on his face and a black and purple dragon robe hummed softly, and then put the northwest in his hand on the mahogany table, he stood up and asked slowly: "Get up, how about your hard work, Xu Chen, have you gained anything?"
Xu Chen bowed slightly, stood up and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, now the people gathered outside the Donglin Pass have all withdrawn, and the city gate has been successfully closed. It's just that Wei Chen went out of the customs to raid the battle this time, and he did see the strength of the two armies of the Qi State United, and Wei Chen dared to ask Your Majesty, do you have any good plans to solve them?"
The Saint Emperor smiled slightly, and his eyes glanced at the woman beside him who was wearing a crimson dark gold phoenix tail skirt, this woman had a graceful figure, and her face was as white as a green lotus and as white as snow. The Holy Emperor gently hooked the lips of the eldest princess Rong Le, and said as if talking to himself: "I have already thought about this problem, and now what we have to do is just to retreat and I believe that in a few days, the alliance between the two armies of the Qi State and Feng Chiyun will definitely be self-defeating!"
PS: The cruelty of war is certain, and the tactics applied to war are not certain, mobilizing troops and sending appropriate troops, these are all things to be taken into account. I can't guarantee that the war I've written is good, but I'll try to correct it.
