Chapter 216: Caught off guard
The battle for the Central Plains started on time after a bell full of the rhythm of the avenue.
The Western Route Army of the Tripartite Coalition was led by Genghis Khan, assisted by Ming Shiyin, Su Lie, and Fan Xu.
The North Road Army, that is, the Central Army, was jointly led by Ying Zheng and Liu Bang, with Han Xin, Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Gao Yuanli as auxiliaries.
The East Road army was led by the empress, assisted by Di Renjie, Li Bai, Sun Bin and Meng Tian.
Zhang Liang stayed in the rear, coordinating all aspects of military supplies and other matters, providing a reliable guarantee for the three-way army.
The million-strong army of Hao Hao Tang Tang slaughtered from three sides, and the momentum was like a rainbow, making the territory within a radius of thousands of miles full of the intention of slaughter.
The marching speed of the army on the northern route was slightly slower than that of the armies on the eastern and western routes. This was agreed before the start of the war, with the central army as a temporary source of replenishment, and if any of the eastern and western armies had problems, the central army could provide timely support.
The team led by Han Xin mainly supported the army of the Western Road. The team led by Bai Qi mainly supported the East Road army. If the central army was attacked by Cao Cao, the team led by Lian Po would be the main force of defense, and the whole army would cooperate, waiting for the reinforcement of the two armies on the east and west roads.
In the army of the West Road, Su Lie led the mechanical troops, and Fan Hao led the military beast troops. Ming Shiyin followed Genghis Khan's side and led the army of mages in Haohao Tangtang.
"Great Khan, I think there is a problem with the coordination this time, you are good at cavalry combat, archery combat, and the mage legion is more suitable for Yingzheng and the empress." As a close confidant of Genghis Khan, Ming Shiyin should have raised grievances for him.
"Shiyin, you're right, but do you know why I didn't object, but instead promised it?" Genghis Khan looked up at the sky with a yearning smile on his face.
"Great Khan, you won't be because of Cao Cao's stimulation, you think it's not bad to make a cameo appearance in other roles once in a while!"
"That's right! They all say that I am unparalleled in riding and shooting, why can't I lead the mage army with ingenuity? Is there a difference for me between leading a corps of mages and leading a corps of cavalry, archers, infantry, etc.?
It's nothing more than that, the mage legion, like the archer legion, has poor melee ability and strong long-range attack ability. Compared to individual combat ability, a mage can do more damage than an archer.
The mage legion behind us is good at long-distance team control, with strong lethality and a large killing area. If it is an archer, whether it is standing or riding archery, its lethality, coverage area and subsequent continuous output are obviously not as strong as mages.
You must know that bows and arrows are purely physical attacks, while magic attacks are indeed varied. When a water attack and a fire attack meet, the hot gas attack will exert an attack damage that neither of them has.
Although I am not a mage, I have never stopped studying spells, otherwise, how could you be my close minister? ”
"The Great Khan's thoughts are too far-reaching for us to reach. As long as the Great Khan has a spectrum in his heart, I am relieved. The battle itself is not important, what matters is the experience process and the life of the Great Khan. ”
"Well said! I also want to experience something different! Do you think Cao Cao will lead his army to take the initiative to attack our army on the Western Road? Genghis Khan changed his mind and turned the conversation to what was most likely to happen at the moment.
"Probably not! Wasn't he afraid of a swift cavalry attacking his camp? Ming Shiyin didn't think about it, and replied.
"I had a sense of foreboding, an innate instinct and an alertness honed in war." Genghis Khan withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at the mountains in the distance.
"Prime Minister, do we have to launch a medium- and long-range charge? This mountainous terrain is very suitable for us to set up an ambush! Xiahoudun told Cao Cao that he felt that the cost of setting up an ambush was much smaller than that of a medium- and long-range raid, and the gain was also great.
"Yuan Rang, you have thought of it, Genghis Khan will not think of it? We were originally a surprise army, and we fought by surprise. The first half of our journey went well, and if we had been buried in this mountain for the second half, all our plans would have failed, and we would have been counter-encircled by Genghis Khan. ”
"Yuan Rang, let's listen to the prime minister! The prime minister will not joke with our net worth and lives. "Li Dian's worship of Cao Cao is almost like the worship of gods by ordinary people.
"Hahaha..., Lone will lead you to take him by surprise. Then, let him know what it means to be a soldier! What is the rumor of the wind! ”
Cao Cao waved his leather whip and rushed out on horseback first. Driven by him, the soldiers behind him were full of wild wolf energy, and a kind of crazy morale almost barbarian erupted all over his body.
Smoke and dust billowed from far to near. Genghis Khan, with his experience, shouted: "Enemy attack, prepare for defense!" The Legion of Beasts stood in the way, and the Legion of Mages immediately entered the battle mode. ”
Genghis Khan drew his sword at his waist and stared ahead, ready for battle.
However, after waiting for a moment, he realized that the Legion of Warbeasts was indeed moving, but at a snail's pace. The mage legion was even more sluggish, like an old man in the twilight.
"Damn! This is war, not acting, you are all soldiers on the battlefield! Genghis Khan roared angrily.
It was only then that he realized that he had miscalculated. The combat effectiveness of the Beast Legion is high, but its slowness is its biggest flaw. The long-range output of the mage legion is high, but they are all from the nobility or the mage academy, and they are not as good as the soldiers who come out of the military academy.
The soldiers were quick to wait until they were assembled. The cavalry army led by Cao Cao had already rushed to their forefront.
There are no superfluous movements, only a murderous aura. The sound of "booming" iron hooves, the crashing sound of "bang bang bang", the sound of "clanging" of swords, guns and halberds, and the screams and howls of "woo woo" and "ahhh
Genghis Khan's army on the Western Route was dealt a strong blow by the cavalry corps led by Cao Cao. The reluctant resistance and resistance will not wipe out the entire army of the Western Road, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the army of the Western Route has suffered serious losses, and its combat effectiveness has been reduced to five or six.
"Hahaha..., Great Khan, I agreed, this gift is too big. But you know, Lone has to take it! Lone told you that Lone is afraid of death, so Lone can't afford to lose! ”
The cavalry regiment killed a round trip in the army of the Western Road. As he was leaving, Cao Cao laughed loudly, telling Genghis Khan that he was in this cavalry regiment, and at the same time, further disturbing Genghis Khan's mood and thoughts, creating difficulties for him.
"Cao Cao, you are a good man! Winning or losing in the moment does not mean the final outcome. Genghis Khan swung his sword in his left hand and pulled the reins with his right hand, raising the front hooves of his horse high.
"Shiyin, straighten out the army. We have suffered a loss once, and we cannot suffer a second loss. Genghis Khan put away his sword and glanced at the chaotic army of the Western Road. He wanted to get angry, but was it useful? Since it's useless, I have to comfort myself.
