Chapter 1027: A Roundabout Battle
With the disappearance of Lin Si and Mu Zheping, and the silence of Nie He, the battle for the Heavenly Seal has finally settled.
What is left behind is only the name of the 'Three Murderers of the Mainland'.
The brief meeting between the Lord of the Sword Sect and the Three Great Saint Realms in the sky above Ming City was not seen by the fifth person.
It's not that no one has thought of taking revenge on the Moon Country and those in the northern fiefdom, but some big forces have already sniffed out the limelight from the three factions outside the heavens.
Even these three factions were silent, and they could naturally see the problem.
What's more, with the end of the Heavenly Seal, the war that had been temporarily suspended in the middle of the continent has finally started again.
Donghuang and Wuxia once again entered a long tug-of-war, while Shenyan and Gao Zhen also began to prepare intensively.
Yue Guo and his party, the major forces have suffered a lot of losses, Gao Zhen is now no longer in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, and the Shenyan side has also lost Shen Hong, an old master.
Donghuang and Wuxia Chilou, as well as the major sects, all suffered heavy losses in those three battles.
Of the masters sent, almost none came back alive. The only exception is probably the Bilan Empire.
This has invisibly changed the original pattern of war to a certain extent. After all, the masters of the Heavenly Realm, especially in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, were already able to play a great role in the war.
Every time they lose, it affects the situation on a local battlefield.
Many people are already secretly regretting that it would be nice not to attend that 'event', but how many opportunities are there in the world to start over?
Maybe it's because the situation in the Bilan Empire is gradually improving, or maybe it's because he sees that if he continues to close the mountain and doesn't choose any faction, sooner or later he will only be drowned by the torrent of the outside world. During this time, the seven major sects such as Baiyun Dao also gradually began to strengthen their ties with the Bilan Empire.
Many people can guess what this sign represents, and perhaps soon these seven major sects will also appear on the battlefield.
This made the Shenyan camp secretly anxious, especially since they had heard that Bi Lan was beginning to plan to march against the Red Tower in the south.
You have to speed up your pace, so it's on this day. On the border between Long Yan and Gao Zhen, a big war finally broke out.
Mi Yuanyun and Luo Hou finally clashed again.
I don't know how many people have set their eyes here, so that many people don't know that in fact, these days, more than a dozen battles have broken out in the grassland country of the southeast region.
Some of these battles were just one-sided slaughter. Some are only in the thousands, and the largest one. There are only tens of thousands of people, and naturally they can't be compared with the big war in the middle of the continent with hundreds of thousands of people.
However, if someone explores carefully, they will find many incredible things, such as these battles, the winning side is all the thousand Song army that has already perished, for example, they win unbelievably every time......
The grassland country is the home of the grassland cavalry, and it is the place where their combat effectiveness can be vividly displayed.
This is not only the six southeastern countries. Even those generals in other countries on the continent knew it well.
In the uniform terrain of the grassland, it is very common to get lost, and it is a great problem to have no castle to resupply and no position to defend.
In this case, I want to defeat the steppe people who grew up here, know this place very well, and come and go like the wind and almost all the people are soldiers. It's just incredibly difficult.
Of course, the steppe soldiers are not invincible in the world, otherwise the six southeastern countries would have been theirs long ago. Their weakness, known to many generals, is that they have strong attack power, but they are not good at defending, and there is no danger to defend on the grassland.
In the past, the Qianlan of the Moon Kingdom entered the grassland to fight.
They often assault with crossbows, followed by foot horses, and engage in encounters with the steppe people. With huge troops and logistics, go and defeat the steppe people head-on.
However, it is only a matter of defeating and expelling, and it is still impossible to truly defeat or even annihilate the steppe people.
When the armies of the Moon Kingdom and the Qianlan Kingdom were unable to advance again due to logistical problems. They can only gradually retreat, and then the steppe people will naturally move back.
But all of this is difficult for Ji Bingyun, even if her strength is only 50,000.
In the middle of nowhere, a battle has just ended.
Nearly 100 miles along the road scattered scimitars and arrows, the corpses of the grassland cavalry and the fallen war horses can be seen everywhere, Bai Jinghuan and others are gathering the soldiers, while simply cleaning up the battlefield.
Li Hua had already dismounted from the horse at this time, and followed behind the woman who had just taken off her battle helmet and revealed her long black hair.
At this time, he looked at the thin body in front of him even after wearing light armor, and he was already full of fanaticism.
That's right, when he was in Pinglou Mountain, he had already chosen Ji Bingyun and regarded her as the last hope of Qian Song. However, it was just a big gamble after all, and he only relied on Ji Bingyun's two victories and the eldest prince's importance to her.
He wasn't sure how far she could take them, and until now, he had given up thinking about it.
When they first entered the grassland, they were apprehensive and uneasy, because they knew that once they entered the grassland, one wrong step would be a dead end.
Ji Bingyun's plan was very simple, that is, to cross the grassland while the grassland people were attacking the Moon Country, and as for the supplies, they would be obtained from the grassland tribes along the way. To put it bluntly, it is to plunder the steppe people and feed the war with war.
This was a cruel plan, which meant that she would take what the steppe cavalry had done when they entered other countries and do it to their people on the steppe.
The plan was entirely hers, as it was the only way for them to survive. Other than that, the rest of the team may be more ruthless than her, but they don't have the courage.
The entire prairie is no less than 40,000 or 50,000 miles, and it is impossible to go on like this smoothly to the end. Even if the steppe country is now empty, it is still unrealistic.
The Golden Horde of the Grassland will soon learn that someone is taking the opportunity to attack them, and they will also guess their purpose, and when the time comes, whether they send troops directly from the Golden Horde or return from the Moon Country, they will encounter the terrible steppe cavalry on this grassland.
Here, an ambush like Pinglou Mountain is difficult to achieve.
Li Hua is indeed not very good at leading troops in battle, but he still knows some common sense. With their little strength, it will only be a dead end to fight the steppe cavalry on the grassland.
However, he can only pin his hopes on her, hoping that she can work miracles again.
Ji Bingyun's heart can't be as ruthless as many people after all, when she first found the gathering place of the grassland people, she just wanted to loot, and didn't want to kill people and set fires. Even though the steppe people are their feud.
But she soon discovered how naïve this thought was, and the moment she saw the Thousand Song Army, the men and women of that tribe, young and old, raised their scimitars and bows and arrows against them.
All people are soldiers, not just words. In the face of the Thousand Song Army that has already hit the door, the grassland people will not be like the people of the rest of the country, most of them can only accept it.
If she didn't want her subordinates to die, then she would have to kill everyone in front of her as enemies.
Of course, these steppe people would not be their opponents, so they were given dried meat, water, and at least for three days no longer had to worry about food.
However, this is just the beginning, and they still have a long way to go.
Over the next few days, they attacked three other steppe tribes along the way, only to be one-sided.
Until one day, the news of the arrival of 50,000 cavalry of the Golden Horde of the steppe finally came from their front.
This news made everyone's hearts heavy.
Although the strength of the steppe people is equal to theirs, although both of them are cavalry, their combat effectiveness on the steppe is completely different. Otherwise, the other party would not know that they had 50,000 people, but they would only send 50,000 people.
Later, Li Hua, Bai Jinghuan and others followed her and created victories that she couldn't even imagine.
She was really on the prairie, riding against the steppe cavalry, and using their tactics to fight them. This kind of tactics that is obviously attacking the enemy's strengths with her own shortcomings, but she has received incredible results.
Her tactics are deceptively simple, concentrating 50,000 men under her command, avoiding the enemy's main forces, and fighting in a roundabout way across the steppes, focusing on the enemy's flanks.
When the enemy retreated, she pursued them until they were all killed, because they were also light cavalry, and she didn't seem to worry about an ambush ahead. Although she did not carry out any ambushes on the grassland, she was extremely good at dividing her troops on the grassland to divide the main force of the enemy.
She would often travel long distances, sometimes thousands of miles, to the rear of enemy troops.
The entire prairie has become a battlefield for her to sway vertically and horizontally, and she has no fixed position at all, and she is completely fighting wherever she goes. On the grassland, the Qiansong army under her command was more elusive and flexible than the steppe cavalry.
The steppe people concentrated their forces, and they couldn't find their position at all, and once they separated, they would be eaten away by her little by little, until they were all annihilated by her in batches.
After more than ten battles in a few days, the steppe cavalry of the 50,000 Golden Horde was annihilated, and the losses of the Thousand Song Army were not even a thousand, but they were supplemented by a large number of bows and horses.
Her tactics can be understood by anyone, whether it is Li Hua Bai Jinghuan or the grassland people opposite.
Because they abandoned their baggage, all their members became light cavalry, so they also had flexibility, and secondly, they avoided reality and did not confront the enemy's main force.
However, knowing this, the steppe people could not crack it. And Li Hua, Bai Jinghuan and the others also knew very well that if they were them, even if they knew this tactic, they would not be able to win at all.
If it was so simple to fight with the grassland people, then the grassland country would have been wiped out by Qiansong and Moon Country Qianlan a long time ago.
The premise of the strategy of roundabout operations is to know the distribution of the enemy's forces and the direction of the advance, and then to formulate specific goals and specific tactics.
And this is where she really surpasses other generals. With her meager intelligence, she can directly analyze the current state of the enemy army, so as to gain insight into the enemy's intentions, and finally predict what the opponent will do next......
At the same time, when she makes a specific plan, she is never really bitten by the other party.
She knows where there will be ambushes, where the enemy will be heavily fortified, where the opponent's weakest areas are, and she will always allow her troops to have enough room to detour.
