It was 3,000 when it came, and King Gu Li's troops lost some of their losses when they first came into contact with Yang Tianhong's cavalry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info lost some after intercepting the Chu army and launching an attack. Now, after the horn of retreat sounded, the remaining cavalry belonging to King Guli was in their early thousands.

More than 1,000 Rongdi cavalry ran lifelessly on the grassland, desperately trying to open a safe distance from the pursuers behind them. The first thing Rong Di did was to replace the tired war horse. Their transfers are not completely stationary, either. It is a transfer action that maintains a low speed.

Changing horses is the most special part of Rongdi's tactics. Horses, like humans, can get tired during high-speed running. The rider on horseback is a burden to the horse. In order to maintain the highest speed of maneuvering, it is necessary to equip two horses, and then the cavalry constantly rotates between the two horses, giving the horses a rest.

The Lizhou cavalry does not have to be so troublesome. War beasts are far superior to ordinary horses in terms of endurance and speed. Therefore, the Lizhou cavalry did not need to change horses as much trouble at all.

Seeing that Rong Di was also doing transfer tactical moves, Yang Tianhong paid special attention to it. He found that although Rong Di in the transfer was faster than he imagined, he didn't even fall to the ground because of it. Several unlucky ghosts, even those who almost fell, used their vigorous reach to grab a certain part of the war horse and climb up again. Its agility and skill are staggeringly strong.

"If the culture of the Northern Rongdi is comparable to ours, and even has the same skill of domesticating war beasts as me, then it must be a difficult opponent. Unfortunately, the Rongdi race was not born during the ancient wars, and the shamans only slowly appeared later. They would never have had war beasts, let alone spend a lot of pills to feed horses. ”

Thinking of this, Yang Tianhong felt a sigh of emotion in his heart and felt extremely happy.

The Chu army has dispersed. There are traces of the Chu army in the northwest, and the Lizhou cavalry in the west is diverted, and the direction that can make the cavalry belonging to King Guli move is only to the north or south. If the south is besieged again, they will have to wait until they reach a safe distance, and then they will turn north, where the Rongdi army is located.

What Yang Tianhong wanted was also for the enemy army to move northward, but whether or not he could annihilate this Rongdi cavalry was whether Yang Qian could lead the troops to complete the detour in time and arrive at the interception position. Therefore, Yang Tianhong was also hesitating whether to suspend the speed of the pursuit? Don't push the enemy too quickly, the result is that Yang Qi's subordinates, who should appear in the interception position, have not arrived, and let this group of Rongdi cavalry run away, it should be a bamboo basket to draw water.

The Lizhou cavalry who had been pursuing the chase heard the sound of the horn "Woo woo woo" in their ears, and turned their heads to look at the position of the main general Yang Tianhong, where there was a black military flag that was constantly waving the flag, and also saw that some robes were cleaning up the battlefield.

The waving flag is a kind of flag that indicates the speed of the cavalry to slow down the pursuit, and it also signals the leading officer to lead the headquarters to block the enemy's maneuvers to the south or north.

Flag language is the ability to communicate simply, and more complex instructions are simply extravagant. And some unreliable film and television flags can be used to chat? flags are not Morse ciphers, flags are specific kinds of established signals, and it is pure nonsense to use flags to chat.

In the distance, there was the sound of the horn blowing by Yang Qi's horn hand. Yang Qi strictly implemented it, but she knew her grandfather's plan. He knew even more that just by relying on the strength of his hundreds of people, he would not be able to eat the enemy army in front of him at all, and if he really continued to chase it, at most he would gnaw off a small part of it every time, and he didn't know how long it would take to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Of course, the Lizhou cavalry that followed behind could not completely give up the pursuit, otherwise it would be clear and clear that the enemy army was already waiting for you in a certain direction in front. That would be a very stupid act.

The Chu army can also rely on the established flag signal for simple communication, which is the greatest convenience for Yang Tianhong on the battlefield in the early morning. Speaking of which, it is also because of the technology of another world.

In the face of the strength displayed by the cavalry of the Chu army, the Rongdi cavalry felt frightened on the one hand, and on the other hand, they did not hesitate to speed up their escape. Behind, the pursuing Chu army slowly slowed down, and then turned to make a gesture of going back to the original road.

It's a deception.

The pursuit speed of the Chu army was not very fast, and the cavalry commander of King Gu Li did not feel strange in his heart, it was impossible, but before he could come up with a reason, the cavalry of the Chu army that was following behind began to slowly approach again. When Rong Di came and led his troops to move in the direction of the west, his end was already doomed.

The situation of front and back siege has taken shape. The moment Yang Qi's troops appeared from the front, the Rongdi cavalry suddenly became chaotic. Reloaded bolts flew through the air, leaving countless corpses on the ground. There are Rongdi cavalry covered in blood, and there are also war horses that are dying and dying.

Hua Jun stepped on the flying sword and galloped from the battlefield in the distance. More than ten meters away from Yang Tianhong, Hua Jun began to slow down and jumped high from the flying sword with a beautiful turning motion. At the same time, there were two Rongdi shamans who were firmly tied up by the fairy rope and looked like zongzi.

Part of the reason why Yang Tianhong wanted to eat this Rongdi cavalry was because of these two shamans.

Hwajun kills people along the way. There are Rongdi herdsmen, and more are shamans. By calculation, he had killed more than twenty shamans. The strength of these shamans is actually very good, at least there are cultivation above the foundation. But in front of Hua Jun, who has entered the infant stage, he is simply an ant in front of an elephant.

Hwajun felt more and more like the legendary demon and monster. Since the first time he used shaman cultivation to set up the Burning Sun Circle, Hua Jun began to seal the knife not to kill people, but to capture the shamans alive as much as possible in battle, and then turn them into indispensable "raw materials" for the barren grassland.

This world also has legends similar to "Journey to the West". It's just that the content is a story of a scholar who wants to seek the Tao Te Ching and goes to the magical land of the East to find it. That scholar is also coveted by countless monsters, and eating a piece of his meat can lead to immortality. In fact, for youkai and demons, monks do have a similar effect. Their bodies are full of spiritual energy, and after being absorbed by monsters and demons, it is equivalent to a great supplement. Huang Shiren and Baozi, who were left in the Linglong Treasure lock by Yang Tianhong, are like this. Their favorite food is the monks. And it's the living kind. In Huang Shiren's words: Eat and kill, the taste is really delicious.

The steppe was littered with corpses. The Lizhou cavalry has returned to their respective ranks. While the sky is still dark, at least we can walk for more than an hour on the way back to the south.

Hua Jun unceremoniously stripped the two shamans naked and cut them in the stomach with a knife. The practice of using Qiankun bags to warm gopher fetuses is definitely a new invention created by Huajun himself during the battle. I saw him take out two large gray-white gopher fetuses with blood and water from the Qiankun bag, constantly wriggling in the air, and stuffed them into the abdomen of the two Rong Di shamans with a cruel smile.

In ancient times, there may have been only one way to kill people. As human beings become more and more cruel and the social system becomes more and more sound, there are more and more ways to kill people. Ling Chi, car cracking, halving ...... The punishments of various countries, large and small, are simply innumerable, and it makes people feel their hearts beat when they see them. The same is true for Hwajun, who has created a new method of revenge in the war. The two large bunches of gopher fetuses are like two bunches of grapes that have just been cut from the branches, and they are stuffed alive into the belly of a living person. Although the two Rong Di shamans didn't understand what Hua Jun wanted to do, no matter who saw such a large mass of inexplicable things stuffed into their bodies, they would feel extremely terrified.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"You can't die well! You, you're the devil!"

The scolding sounded meaningless to Hua Jun. He grinned "hey, hey, hey" and tied up the two shamans with a rope again, and got up and jumped on the war beast next to him who was being held by the soldier in the reins.

Hua Jun's technique of setting up the Burning Sun Formation became more and more proficient. He no longer even needed soldiers to help dig a dirt pit, but used earth-based spells to create a large pit in the ground dozens of meters deep. Hua Jun has now determined that using the Rong Di Shaman to set up this kind of desperate formation will definitely not be punished by the rules of heaven and earth. This kind of thing has become Hua Jun's favorite game. When it was time to set up camp every night, it was the best time for Hua Jun to set up a formation near the camp with the daytime capture shaman and complete the revenge plan little by little.

Hua Jun is becoming less and less like a normal person. Yang Tianhong didn't think there was anything about it. No matter who it is, the blood feud of the broken family and the death of the family will be carried on the body for hundreds of years, and it will become crazy and chaotic, which is extremely abnormal. In fact, Hua Jun has a very bottom line in doing things. His cruelty and madness are at most vented on the grassland. When he returns, Hua Jun will be the same as before.

The grassland is large enough to destroy a tribe of white sheep, and Yang Tianhong feels that he has achieved his goal.

What we have to do now is to lead the troops back to the territory of Chu. Then, lead the troops to lift the siege of Youzhou.

Yang Tianhong didn't worry about what would happen in Lizhou at all. He left behind a full 100,000 soldiers and horses, if Yang Han can't even deal with this kind of thing, he is not qualified to continue to follow him.

The Yang family's personal guards do not need waste.

......

Under the city of Youzhou, the corpses of the war dead are already everywhere. There are Rong Di, and there are also Chu soldiers who defend the city.

At this time, in Youzhou City, the arrival of Rong Di's army had caused a panic. Although everyone knew in advance that Youzhou had been the forefront of the Chu State's resistance to the Rongdi of the grassland since ancient times, when this Rongdi army really came to the eyes, people still instinctively felt that indescribable fear.

At the head of Youzhou City, Li Guangfeng, the assassin of the assassin, and Yong, the general of the town guard, climbed to the head of the city together to observe the opponent's military formation. In the distance, the Rongdi cavalry was patrolling outside the city, and in the distance was where the Rongdi camp was located. The army was busy but orderly, like a beast ready to choose someone to devour.

From the siege to the siege, the confrontation between the defensive and offensive sides went back and forth for a long time. There has been no winner or loser. Standing on the head of the city, Li Guangfeng could feel that Rong Di under the city was becoming restless.

The walls of Youzhou are tall, and it is definitely not the kind of border town that is easy to capture. What's more, the state of Chu has been operating in Youzhou for many years, and it has always been the top priority to the mainland of Chu. There was a great deal of grain in the city, countless weapons and armor, and a lot of money in the treasury. With sufficient logistical supplies, it is naturally easier to defend the city.

After squinting his eyes and observing it carefully, Li Guangfeng couldn't help but take a secret breath of this matter.

It is already known that the Rong Di outside the city belongs to the Aries tribe, but the Rong Di army in front of him is orderly, advancing and retreating freely, and the military law is strict. It is worthy of being the strongest force on the grassland, even if he can hold Youzhou, Li Guangfeng still feels very worried.

Going out of town and fighting in the field is a. With the combat effectiveness of the Chu army in Youzhou, it is definitely not the opponent of Rong Di outside the city. Li Guangfeng was very aware of this from the very beginning. He didn't want to retreat or run. Even if he dies, he must live and die with Youzhou City.

Just below the inner city was the army under the command of Li Guangfeng and Guan Yong, and it was also the last armed force of the Chu State on the northern border that could resist the Rongdi of the grassland. At this time, they were deployed along the trench. Through the battlement space on the women's wall, she looked nervously at the Rongdi army in the distance outside the city. Although these Chu troops were armed with weapons and armor, they did not dare to come out, and their morale was obviously very low.

Just keep it and don't fight, it's like this for anyone. This is the case with passive beatings, and it is simply impossible to boost morale in such a situation.

"Why don't we have such strong cavalry?

After seeing the military situation on both sides, Li Guangfeng suddenly turned his back to the sky and sighed.

The town guard officer Yong, who was standing next to him, did not answer, but turned his head to look at Li Guangfeng. In the state of Chu, Guan Yong was a well-known military general. It's not that this person is strong in martial arts and experienced in leading troops, but this person has a unique interpretation of his own name. Guan Yong often has a sentence on his lips, that is: Lao Tzu's name is Guan Yong. The official who is an official, the brave and brave.

As a town guard general, Guan Yong really took this sentence to the extreme. In Youzhou for more than ten years, the Chu army under Guan Yong repeatedly defended the city. Guan Yong himself also wanted to lead his troops out of the city to fight Rong Di, but reason told him that between reality and imagination, the former was the most important.

Yes, it is certainly very pleasant to lead the troops out and kill them. But what about Youzhou in the future? Once Rong Di captures Youzhou, the situation in the entire Chu State will suddenly become chaotic. Although there is still the Great Wall in the back that can be guarded, but even Youzhou can't be defended, so how can you talk about the Great Wall?

Quite here, Guan Yong's face is now pale, his brows are furrowed, and even his hands are trembling slightly, obviously he is extremely angry.

"General, don't behave like this. ”

Seeing that Guan Yong's face was full of resentment, Li Guangfeng couldn't help but reproach him, "Now the soldiers are looking at me and waiting, if I can't be calm and set an example, but panic, won't the soldiers be discouraged? How will they defend the city then?"

"Defending the city?"

Guan Yong asked a rhetorical question with a sad face, then looked up at the sky, sighed and muttered to himself: "Can this Youzhou City still be defended now?"

The current state of Chu is no longer what it used to be. The civil and military officials are all proud of the splendid article, and the intrigue in the court is nothing more than to force the opposite faction down. Sometimes when I think about it, even a general like Guan Yong finds it unbelievable: the geographical environment occupied by the Chu State is really good. It is precisely in the adjacent positions of Qi and Wei that they occupy advantageous positions. It's really a one-man affair. However, it is precisely because of this that the state of Chu has not thought of forging ahead for hundreds of years, and its soldiers have no will to fight, and they will have no will to fight. Even if there are one or two generals who can fight occasionally, nothing will end well. The literati were so careful about guarding against military generals. Even if he is a small guerrilla general, there are always countless pairs of eyes around him, always on guard whether he will suddenly lead the troops to rebel.

The overall environment of the whole country is like this, how can the army get better?

The fall of Tieyang City gave the defenders of Chu a very bad start. He Tianyang, the general of the town guard, was greedy for life and afraid of death, and led the troops to surrender. The Aries King also knew how to win people's hearts, gave He Tianyang the title of Rong Di Xiaowang, and rewarded him with a lot of cattle and sheep slaves. According to the news from Tanma, the days of raising on the grassland are also nourishing. Although Rong Di is vulgar and barbaric, he also gives him face as a general. At least, prosperity and wealth are still guaranteed.

With Tieyang City He Tianyang in front, the defensive battle of Youzhou became more and more difficult to fight. In fact, Guan Yong and Li Guangfeng are very clear that the current situation in Youzhou City is very bad. Although there is no shortage of weapons, food and grass, people's hearts are unpredictable. God knows how many fine works Rong Di has placed in the city? There are still many people who are riding on the wall and watching, all secretly brewing plans to open the city and surrender.

There is no shortage of brave people in the world. In the same way, there are more people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. What ancestral fame, what kind of national society, in the eyes of those people is just a piece of. If they can sell it for a good price in front of Rong Di, they can even sell it all for their parents.

The number of officers and men that Guan Yong can command is no longer very large. Looking at the entire Youzhou City, there are only a few thousand people at best. It's not that the soldiers in the city have died, but the generals below have their own thoughts. What are you kidding, now the soldier is the most valuable reliance in his own hands. Regardless of whether Youzhou can hold it or not, it is always good to have soldiers in hand. Even if you don't want to open the city and surrender, at the moment when the city is broken, you can have the strength of the soldiers to protect your own population and escape as soon as possible. Speaking of which, this is not greed for life and fear of death, but it is just the deepest selfishness of the human heart. (To be continued.) )
