Chapter 230: Fight Again
On the city wall, Zhou Chuan's face was not very good-looking.
In today's battle, his side lost more than 5,000 elite Praetorian Guards, although the Xiaoyue Dynasty must have lost more, but he was still unhappy.
The reason is very simple, once the Xiaoyue Dynasty hit the city wall halfway, if it wasn't for Huo Quai's personal action, there might really be some trouble.
This made Zhou Chuan realize that Li Yuanhao is worthy of being called the most capable general in the north, but this ability is not simple.
Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang, and Huo Quzhi saw that Zhou Chuan's face was not very good-looking, and they didn't dare to speak much, and stood behind Zhou Chuan respectfully.
"Qi Jiguang, if you are asked to command the Praetorian Guard plus your trapping camp, and at the same time select the elite from the soldiers of Bianhe City to form an army of 100,000, are you sure that you can block the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty in the front?" Zhou Chuan turned his head to look at Qi Jiguang and asked.
Qi Jiguang groaned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to block the iron cavalry head-on, just the first line of the north gate, I am confident that I can block it, but I don't need too many soldiers, just the veterans of the former Praetorian Guard, plus the trapping camp." ”
"Why?"
"Your Majesty, the minister used to be the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he trained the first batch of Praetorian Guards, and they knew the military orders of the last general, and with the trapping camp, the last general was sure that he would be able to block the north gate for more than an hour. But if you add some of the current Praetorian Guards and soldiers, the general's grasp in his heart is not so great. ”
"After all, if you really want to do this, you need every soldier to be able to absolutely obey the military orders of the last general, the Praetorian Guard is okay, but the soldiers have not been trained by the Praetorian Guard, and they don't understand some military formations. ”
When Zhou Chuan heard it, he groaned slightly, Qi Jiguang's words were very clear, he could block it, and he wanted to use a powerful military formation, but a powerful military formation needed elite soldiers to arrange it.
It's okay for soldiers to defend the city, but if you want to say it's elite, it's not at all.
"Okay, this matter will be handled by you, tomorrow tomorrow you will lead the infantry to block the front, and Qi Jiguang and Huo Quzhi will each lead 100,000 iron cavalry to attack from the left and right. After the enemy's formation is broken, attack on three sides at the same time, and slaughter the two million Iron Cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty!"
"The last will obey!"
Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiguang, Huo Quzhi and the three of them immediately responded.
The tactics arranged by Zhou Chuan are not very clever, they are just ordinary tactics.
One of the most important links is the infantry under Qi Jiguang's command, who want to block the attack of the Xiaoyue Dynasty before Qi Jiguang and Huo Qubing completely break through the enemy's iron cavalry formation.
This is a very difficult thing to do.
However, Zhou Chuan chose to believe in Qi Jiguang, because he was only defending the front line of the city wall, and Qi Jiguang's ability should be able to do it.
Coupled with the increased defense of the Earth Spirit Knife, there won't be much of a problem.
"Your Majesty, what about me, where am I attacking?" Huo Qubing saw that Zhou Chuan had arranged for Qi Jiguang Qi Jiguang Huo to go sick, but he didn't arrange it, and hurriedly said.
"You follow me, lead the remaining 50,000 iron horsemen, I can be useful!" Zhou Chuan said.
Huo Qu was overjoyed, he actually followed His Majesty, this was an opportunity to behave well, and he immediately said: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Zhou Chuan nodded and said, "Go down and make arrangements." ”
"Yes!"
The generals immediately went down to prepare for tomorrow's expedition.
Zhou Chuan looked at the Xiaoyue Dynasty military camp not far from the north gate, sneered, and muttered, "Tomorrow, that military camp will become a slaughterhouse!"
The next day, just after dawn, there was a solemn aura wafting in the sky above the north pass of the city.
Two hundred and fifty thousand iron horsemen quietly waited for their esteemed Son of Heaven to give the order to set off.
Zhou Chuan stood at the head of the Chengbei Guancheng, looked at these cutting-edge iron horsemen under his command, his face was solemn, he suddenly pulled out his sword, pointed obliquely at the Xiaoyue Dynasty military camp outside the north gate, and said loudly: "The sons and daughters of the Wuzhou Dynasty, today is the day of meritorious service, kill, kill the Xiaoyue Dynasty outside the north gate, it is a merit." ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Two hundred and fifty thousand iron horsemen shouted.
"Let's go!"
Qi Jiguang took the lead in leading the iron cavalry to set off, and his mission was to attack the left side of the Xiaoyue Dynasty's military camp.
Huo Qubing followed, and his mission was to attack the right side of the Xiaoyue Dynasty's military camp.
Secondly, it was Qi Jiguang who led an infantry army of 30,000 veterans of the previous Praetorian Guard and less than a thousand trapped.
Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, they walked out of the north gate and stood not far in front of the north gate, under the arrangement of Qi Jiguang, they arranged a strong military formation, waiting for the attack of the Xiaoyue Dynasty.
Zhou Chuan's purpose is very clear, once Qi Jiguang and Huo Qubing rely on their god-level combat power to successfully break through the military camp of the Xiaoyue Dynasty and break its military formation, the Xiaoyue Dynasty has only two choices.
First, Qi Jiguang and Huo Quzhi, whose strength was not suppressed, led the iron cavalry to slaughter them all.
Second, the army gathered and stormed the Chengbei Pass, as long as the Chengbei Pass was taken, it would be able to defend the city and block the iron cavalry under Huo Qubing and Qi Jiguang outside the Chengbei Pass.
The first choice, as long as you are not a fool, will definitely not choose.
The second option is Li Yuanhao's only choice!
Therefore, Zhou Chuan arranged for Qi Jiguang to wait outside the north gate to block the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty.
In fact, Zhou Chuan could also arrange Qi Jiguang to defend on the city wall, but he thought about it and didn't do so.
The reason is simple.
In that way, the battle line shrank to the wall of Chengbei Pass.
Huo Quai's 50,000 iron horses are meaningless.
His plan was to break through the enemy's army formation with Qi Jiguang and Huo Quzhi, and when the army of the Xiaoyue Dynasty attacked Chengbei Pass, Huo Qubing led 50,000 iron cavalry to attack from the front and catch the enemy by surprise.
In the end, Qi Jiguang led the infantry to follow and slaughtered the two million Li Yuanhao's Xiaoyue Dynasty iron cavalry here.
Even if you can't kill all of them, you have to kill most of them.
Only in this way can Li Yuanhao completely lose his combat effectiveness.
Therefore, he needs Qi Jiguang to block the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty outside the city wall of the north gate, only in this way can the 50,000 iron cavalry under Huo Quzhi's command become a surprise soldier and play the role they should play.
"Qi Jiguang, don't let me down!"
Zhou Chuan stood on the wall of the north pass of the city, looking at Qi Jiguang, who led 30,000 elite infantry to form an army formation in front of the north gate, his eyes were solemn.
Qi Jiguang's move is related to the final result of the battle, which is very important!
"Report, marshal, the enemy sent troops to attack, and the enemy army sent troops to attack. ”
In Li Yuanhao's military tent, Li Yuanhao, who was sleeping, heard the advice of his soldiers, and was immediately shocked, hurriedly got up, pulled the soldier's clothes, and said angrily: "Where is the enemy?"
"That's it...... On the left and right, there were enemy iron cavalry, extremely fast, and they were about to reach the barracks. The soldier said hurriedly.
"Hmph, what are you doing in a panic? I have two million troops here, and I'm still afraid of a sneak attack by the enemy?"
Li Yuanhao snorted coldly, and immediately took his soldiers to the lookout platform built in the middle of the barracks.
The lookout is extremely high and allows you to see the entire barracks, including the surroundings of the barracks.
When he arrived at the lookout, Li Yuanhao soon saw that there were enemy iron horsemen on the left and right sides, as the soldiers had announced.
However, when he saw that all the cavalry on both sides added up, it was only 200,000, so he directly sneered and said, "Just 200,000 cavalry, dare to come and attack my military camp?
"Drumming, today, I want these 200,000 enemy cavalry to be my morning snack!"
