Chapter 107: The Yellow Sparrow is behind
Unlike Liu Feishen's unwitting march, Dezi had no way to hide the traces of his army, in order to avoid falling into the encirclement, Dezi didn't care about resting at all, and hurried overnight, interspersed with the back of Nancheng, which was a small hill, as long as he reached that small hillside, he could take advantage of the location to charge towards Nancheng.
According to Dezi's idea, the troops of the Southern Military Region were ambushed everywhere, and at this time, Nancheng was in a state of virtual defense, so he only needed to rush to Beicheng District of Nancheng as soon as possible and take it in one fell swoop while he was unprepared.
Dezi naturally couldn't imagine that he and Liu Fei's thoughts coincided.
It's just that, compared with Liu Fei's unaware march, Dezi's goal is really too big, after all, he is an army rushing to Nancheng from the frontal battlefield, and just when he is marching in a hurry, the intelligence officers of the Nancheng Military Region are also rushing to Nancheng......
At three o'clock in the morning of the fifth day, more than 10,000 horses led by Dezi had already arrived at the hillside a few miles away in Nancheng and set up camp.
Because of the overnight journey, when the more than 10,000 soldiers arrived on the hillside, they were already exhausted, and it was obviously impossible to attack the city at this time.
Sometimes, when we look back at history, we will find that many things have their own providence.
Dezi rushed to Nancheng ahead of schedule, not only disrupting Liu Fei's plan, but also disrupting General Ed's plan of the Nancheng Military Region.
The combat effectiveness of the Three-Way Army greatly surprised General Ed, and although one of the Three-Way Army had been completely dispersed, this partial victory made General Ed unable to rejoice.
General Ed was a little anxious, he couldn't imagine that under his carefully arranged ambush, there would be two armies in the three routes with combat effectiveness, and what he didn't expect was that the remnants of one of the armies actually rushed to Nancheng in advance, and what made Ed most depressed was that this army with a small number would actually go around to the north of Nancheng under the cover of night......
The most fatal thing is that this remnant army did not immediately attack the city, but camped, which made General Ed extremely depressed.
According to the marching speed of the other army, it will be under the southern city at eight o'clock in the morning, and when the time comes, the southern city will be under the enemy's back.
In order to ambush Wei Jiaji and the three-way army, General Ed has sent the most elite cavalry, the current army in Nancheng is mainly infantry, and the number is not superior, if it is attacked from the front and rear, the consequences are unimaginable!
Destroy the remnants of this army!
After twenty minutes of reflection, General Eddid made the difficult decision to destroy the remnants of Tokuko's army before dawn to avoid being attacked after dawn.
General Ed made this decision in fact, it was also deliberate, at this time, the annihilation of this small group of enemies would be beneficial to Nancheng, once dawn, Nancheng would be attacked by the enemy on his back, and he would not be able to concentrate his superior forces to destroy another strong army.
For General Ed, an army of 100,000 capable of annihilating 10,000 gladiator vine armor cavalry is definitely a formidable army, and he must concentrate all the forces he wants to destroy in one fell swoop.
General Ed was well aware that the four major military districts of the Utopian Republic were at least thousands of kilometers apart, and it was impossible for him to count on reinforcements, he could only rely on himself.
The most important thing is that he must annihilate the rabble of Wei Jiaji in a very short time, once the war enters a stalemate, the market towns around Nancheng will join the uprising, and at that time, the Nancheng Military Region will have fewer and fewer soldiers, and there will be more and more mobs participating in the uprising......
At four o'clock in the morning, 30,000 infantry assembled in the dark in the northern city and rushed to the hillside several kilometers away in the night.
General Ed is good at ambushing sneak attacks, however, this time he meets his opponent and meets Tokuko.
When he set up camp, Dezi at least arranged hundreds of spies to keep an eye on the movements of the southern city, and the news reached the camp the moment the gate of the northern part of the southern city opened.
More than 10,000 people immediately prepared for battle, to be exact, more than 17,000 people.
Instead of attacking, Tokuko stood on the hillside in a dense defensive formation, in which less than a few hundred cavalry were in the center, and in front of them, a passage was opened for the cavalry to raid.
This is a tired army, and likewise, it is also an army that has come out of the pile of corpses, and in the darkness, no one makes the slightest sound, standing silently, like sculptures, waiting for the moment when the storm comes.
Every soldier knows that apart from victory, there is only death left.
There is no bloody mobilization for war, there is the murderous aura of death in the air......
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
In the darkness, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout of killing, and a tide of soldiers rushed over, and the spears reflected a cold cold light in the moonlight.
30,000 infantry against 17,000 dead men, one soldier shot like an arrow into the hillside, and the other army stood still like a rock in the mainstay.
The blood swayed in the air, the head leaped in the air, the screams continued, and the rushing murderous aura swept the entire hillside......
……
In the rapid march, the night of the steppe gradually withdrew, and the dawn of the steppe gradually fell.
Liu Fei, who was walking in front, was fascinated by the sunrise on the grassland, and at this time, the east was still iron and green, and the stars were still dotted. Then, the morning light flickered, opening the cloud curtain of the eastern iron blue......
Gradually, the clouds connecting the edge of the grassland became mottled from iron blue, and a faint lead color appeared under the canopy, and from thick to thin, from thick to light, from round to long, ethereal, and free. Unconsciously, the cloud curtain opened, and the lead-colored sky was instantly dyed with an orange color, and then the color became light red, then pink, and then orange, first like a shy girl, and then like a wide tent of colorful silk, from east to south, from east to west, from east to north, from bottom to top, from far to near, gradually burning, and the sky of the whole grassland also burned quickly, and people guessed that a round of red sun was about to rise from the east.
"Mr. Liu, there is an infantry from the Nancheng Military Region fighting with an unknown army in front!" Wei San came in a hurry, and beside him, followed by a spy with a nervous expression.
"How far?" Liu Fei's body shook, and faintly, he heard shouts and screams.
"It's about four kilometers or so."
"Four kilometers! It's too late, our infantry must have been exhausted when they arrived in a hurry, and they couldn't fight at all, Wei Xiong, you bring the four groups of Qinglong and White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu and cavalry to keep up with me, Wei San, you lead the infantry to come, don't be too anxious, keep your strength, understand? ”
"Understood, Mr. Liu!"
"Let's go!"
Liu Fei shouted violently, turned over and jumped on a captured war horse and galloped towards the northern city area, and when Wei Xiong came to his senses, Liu Fei's back in the morning light was only a small black dot......
