Chapter 5: The Expansion of War

Lan Huapeng has always been cautious in the use of troops, so he will tell the blue leopard that if there are reinforcements coming from the direction of Taniguchi City, let him withdraw.

It's not that Lan Huapeng is cowardly, he wants to see how many troops Zhou Yunfeng will transfer from Gukou City, if he doesn't drop many troops, then he will not hesitate to eat this army, and then he will plot against Gukou City.

If Zhou Yunfeng can't help but transfer out the troops in Gukou City, it means that Gukou City is empty, and at that time he only needs to send a part of his troops and horses to drag Zhou Yunfeng, and he will personally lead the army to capture Gukou City, as long as Gukou City falls into his hands, then Zhou Yunfeng's Fengyun Division can only be a turtle in an urn, and there is no way to live.

If Zhou Yunfeng had been sticking to Gukou City, Lan Huapeng would not have said that he had 200,000 troops in his hands, I am afraid that even if there were 200,000 more, it would be difficult to capture Gukou City for a while. So Lan Huapeng has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity, this opportunity is that Zhou Yunfeng is young and ambitious, and then his confidence skyrockets, and he goes out of the city to fight him.

As long as Zhou Yunfeng is out of the city, then Lan Huapeng's opportunity comes, he is not afraid that Zhou Yunfeng will have reinforcements transferred out of Gukou City, he is afraid that there will be no reinforcements in Hare Ridge.

He asked the Blue Leopard to withdraw as soon as he saw Zhou Yunfeng's reinforcements coming, in fact, he also wanted to give Zhou Yunfeng an illusion, that is, it would be very easy to defeat his Lan Huapeng's army.

What Lan Huapeng did was to cultivate arrogance for Zhou Yunfeng, so that he could underestimate the enemy and ignore the defense of Taniguchi City.

Blue Leopard, who has followed Lan Huapeng for many years, of course, also guessed Lan Huapeng's thoughts, but when he saw the army reinforced by the Fengyun Division, Blue Leopard was in trouble.

It's just a disgruntled 10,000 ** team, that is to say, the two armies of the Fengyun Division are only 16,000 people together, and he has two full 10,000 ** teams in his hands, a full 20,000 people.

20,000 people against 8,000 people, seeing 8,000 reinforcements, turn around and run, this is not just a matter of affecting morale, no one will believe it at all, unless there are ghosts in it!

"Since there are only eight thousand reinforcements, let's eat them together!" said the blue leopard secretly in his heart.

The blue leopard who has a decision in his heart, of course, will not hesitate any longer, Zhou Yunfeng is the division commander of the Fengyun Division, as long as he takes down or kills Zhou Yunfeng, all the problems will be solved, even if there are reinforcements coming, it will be useless.

But the blue leopard soon found out that he was wrong, although he was a mid-seventh turn martial emperor, but against Zhou Yunfeng, he did not take advantage of it, the only thing that made him acceptable was that Zhou Yunfeng did not take advantage either.

The two kept colliding in the air, but they always ended in a draw, which had to make the blue leopard feel aggrieved.

And this is not the most aggrieved thing for the blue leopard, the thing that made him the most aggrieved was that when he and Zhou Yunfeng fought for more than ten minutes, another reinforcement army came, and the reinforcements came from the direction he came, but it was not his reinforcements, but the reinforcements of the Fengyun Division, and the number was also about 8,000.

The Blue Leopard now knew that the reinforcements coming were not eight thousand, but sixteen thousand, and the reason why the two teams were separated was not for the sake of others, but to make a detour to copy his back road and block his retreat.

The purpose is obvious, Zhou Yunfeng just wants to eat his 20,000 light horses.

"Blue Leopard, do you think you can still eat my 8,000 people now?" Zhou Yunfeng kept his hands on his hands, and his mouth was still moving.

"I admit that I underestimated you! But if you want to eat my 20,000 people, it's impossible! The soldiers of the Central Army are not comparable to those city guards, they are all elite!" The blue leopard had to be convinced in his heart, but he did not admit defeat in his mouth.

"You're right! The soldiers of the Central Army are indeed not comparable to the City Guards, and they are not inferior to the Shangqing Dragon Army and the Viper Army, but this is just their strength and quality! They are even worse than the soldiers stationed on the border, and that is the heart of killing!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded.

"It is true that some of my Fengyun division are from the city guards, but most of them have experienced killing, and it is only in the recent past, so this is an advantage that you can't compare!" Zhou Yunfeng said with a smile.

Although the blue leopard was a little unconvinced in his heart, he had to admit that what Zhou Yunfeng said was right, and he still pointed out the shortcomings of the Central Legion soldiers.

Whether it is the Praetorian Guard Legion of the Tianyun Empire or the Central Legion of the Congyun Empire, this is the case, their soldiers are no less powerful and equipped than the legions stationed on the frontier, because their responsibility is to defend the imperial capital, and their configuration is probably slightly higher than those main battle legions outside.

But one thing is undeniable, that is, they have always surrounded the imperial capital, and if there is no danger at the border, it is impossible for them to transfer out of the imperial capital.

It is difficult to have a war without transferring away from the imperial capital, and a soldier who has not experienced the baptism of war cannot be regarded as a real soldier, and such a soldier is far inferior to a soldier who has fought bloodily in terms of battlefield adaptability and psychological endurance.

This is not to say that the soldiers of the Central Legion are inferior to the soldiers of the Viper Legion, they just lack battlefield experience, because their strength and equipment are superior, so they are highly malleable on the battlefield, as long as they are allowed to fight a few battles, they will really grow up and become no worse than the soldiers stationed on the border.

Regarding Zhou Yunfeng's statement, the blue leopard did not refute it, because this is the case, and the phenomenon of the battlefield below also shows this, even if it is useless to quibble

Lan Huapeng's battalion "I've seen the deputy commander!" A soldier jumped off his horse, rushed into the main tent, knelt down on one knee in front of Lan Huapeng, and hugged his fists.

"Say, what's the situation?" Lan Huapeng said with a piece of information in his hand and without raising his head.

"Captain Blue Leopard, lead people to attack the 8,000 people led by Zhou Yunfeng, and in less than five minutes, a light cavalry of 8,000 people came from the direction of Gukou City, our side originally had the upper hand, and after these 8,000 people joined, the Fengyun Division began to counterattack! The division commander of the Fengyun Division and the Blue Leopard Captain fought against each other, and the two were on par!" the soldier said.

"I know what to do!" Lan Huapeng nodded slightly.

"Sure enough, there is a problem! Zhou Yunfeng, I want to see what tricks you can play?" Lan Huapeng looked at the information in his hand and said lightly.

The information in Lan Huapeng's hand is the information about Zhou Yunfeng, and Zhou Yunfeng's main experience is recorded on it, and even the two years in the Blue Dragon Legion have been dug up.

After the soldier left, about ten minutes later, another soldier rushed in.

"I've seen the Deputy Commander!"

"Say!"

"Reinforcements from the Fengyun Division have arrived, but they still made a detour and surrounded the Blue Panther Captain!" the soldier said.

"How many people?" Lan Huapeng said this time looking away at the soldier.

"About eight thousand! Like the ones before, all light cavalry!" replied the soldier without hesitation.

"How is the battle between Captain Blue Leopard and Zhou Yunfeng?" Lan Huapeng asked with a frown.

"The winner hasn't been decided yet!" the soldier replied.

"Okay, I know what to do! You go down first!" Lan Huapeng said with a wave of his hand.

"Someone!" Lan Huapeng shouted after the soldier left.

"Deputy Commander!" walked a soldier outside the tent, hugging his fists.

"Go and invite the commander of the Hong Division and the commander of the Xiang Division!" Lan Huapeng ordered.

"Yes!" the soldier commanded.

"Zhou Yunfeng, 24,000 light cavalry and you, the commander of the division, are enough to make me fight!" Lan Huapeng said to himself: "Maybe it's today to take Gukou City!"

Ten minutes later, a group of cavalry rushed out of the camp, numbering 15,000 people, but 5,000 of them were wildebeest cavalry.

Including these 5,000 horned cavalry, the combat effectiveness of these 15,000 cavalry is not below the 30,000 light cavalry, or even far beyond.

And this is not the end, after the 15,000 cavalry left, another 30,000 infantry rushed out of the camp, and the leader was the commander of the macro division in Lan Huapeng's mouth, Hongyu.

Although the troops were divided into two routes, their goal was the same, that is, the Fengyun Division under the Hare Ridge.

After the two armies left, the entire camp began to get busy, the army began to gather, and Lan Huapeng also changed into his blue Kai armor, sitting in the main tent and waiting quietly

In Gukou City, outside the south gate, after Zhou Yunlong and Jun Tian received the order brought back by Xiao Yan and transferred away, the five 10,000 ** teams outside the north gate were transferred to the south gate, and at the same time, the blood killing team led by Zhou Yunhu was also assembled here.

"Roar!" suddenly a low roar sounded in the valley, and then a silver-white petite figure appeared on the head of the Red Emperor.

"Xiao Yan, what's going on?" Zhou Yunhu hurriedly asked.

Xiao Yan did not participate in the battle today, but he had a glorious mission as a scout and messenger. It's just that in such a short distance between the two sides, I'm afraid that there are scouts and messengers like Xiao Yan who can successfully complete the task.

"Roar!"

Xiao Yan roared at Zhou Yunhu, what Xiao Yan was saying, Zhou Yunhu couldn't understand, but the Red Emperor could understand, as long as the Red Emperor understood, it would mean that Zhou Yunhu understood.

"It's really a big deal!" Not only reinforced 10,000 light cavalry and 5,000 horned cavalry, but also sent 30,000 infantry, it seems that Lan Huapeng really wants to eat the more than 20,000 people in front!" Zhou Yunhu sneered: "It's just that I'm not afraid of jumping my teeth!"

"The situation is already clear! The five of you will immediately lead the men and horses of your headquarters to set off to reinforce the commander of the division!" Zhou Yunhu said in a deep voice to the five people of Baishan.

Bai Shan and Han Xing glanced at each other and said, "Okay! Let's go immediately!"

With that, the five of them led their headquarters to rush to the other end of the valley and soon left the valley.

"Third brother, you can really toss, I hope we don't jump our own teeth this time by gnawing on the leg of mutton!" Zhou Yunhu smiled bitterly.

Today is Singles' Day, Yuyang is also one of them, I wish all friends who are still singles a happy holiday!

At the same time, I hope everyone will have Valentine's Day next year!
