Chapter 114: Blocking the main force of the barbarian army
"Commander, this is the third wave of scouts we have sent, and there has been no news!"
Ke Wushu's face was solemn, since they arrived at Xiaocang Mountain, the scouts sent out had not returned, and in the third wave, Ke Wushu even sent out the elite in his hand, but he still did not come back.
At this moment, Ke Wushu was a little apprehensive in his heart.
After all, he didn't know the situation of the Su army, they had been operating in the south for so many years, but they only extended their tentacles to Tianfu County, and there was a blank outside Tianfu County.
It stands to reason that now that the task of the barbarian army has been accomplished, it is enough to take Wucheng in Tianfu County, and most of Sunan will be included in the territory.
But Ke Wushu thought that it was best to be able to win the Violent Tiger Xiongguan, as long as he could win the Violent Tiger Xiongguan, relying on the protection of the Violent Tiger Xiongguan, Sunan would be able to hold it firmly in his hands.
It's just that now, before he has reached the Violent Tiger Xiongguan, just Xiaocang Mountain, and he is still in Tianfu County, he already feels that it is difficult to move an inch!
Ke Wushu was a little displeased, starting from the time he led the troops from Nanban, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, invincible, and had nothing to resist, but he didn't expect that he was attacked in Wucheng before, delayed for a while, and then the vanguard army of Chagu was defeated, and now he seems to be blind, losing his scouts.
Since I arrived in Wucheng, the back has been unsmooth, and I always feel that someone behind me is stumbling on me!
"Order! The whole army is divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, and marches in turn! Everywhere you go, spread the scouts, and be sure to turn over the entire Xiaocang Mountain! Ke Wushu ordered.
Judging from the current situation, he doesn't know the situation of the scouts, so he can only advance in stages, and scatter the scouts to collect intelligence at each point of advancement.
In this way, even if the front army is ambushed, he can use the rear army as a barrier to stabilize the situation.
I have to say that Ke Wushu's method is very good, and under the premise that there is no way to obtain information, steady progress is the safest and most correct choice.
Of course, for Huang Zhang, this is better, he was worried that the barbarian army would find the transferred people because of the speed of the march, and now the barbarian army is slowing down, which is exactly what he wants, and it can be regarded as a mistake!
After Huang Zhangyi received the news that the barbarian army had slowed down, he immediately rewarded Niu Zhantian and Zhuang Chengfeng.
The barbarian army was able to slow down the speed of the barbarian army, and it was all because Niu Zhantian's Shanzi battalion was familiar with the terrain of Xiaocang Mountain and blocked the barbarian army's scouts.
Because of Niu Zhantian's move, Huang Zhang had enough time to arrange the battlefield and wrestle with the barbarian army.
Now Huang Zhang has in his hands the 5,000 Cold Wind Battalion led by Kou Xin and the 8,000 Northwest Army led by Chu Liang, with a total of 13,000 troops.
Before, Chu Liang and Kou Xin Niu Zhantian didn't get along well, but since the last time the two sides cooperated to defeat the barbarian vanguard army, Chu Liang changed his previous arrogance and began to cooperate sincerely with the Cold Wind Battalion.
At the very least, there will be no problems in the implementation of military orders.
The biggest problem at the moment is to face the barbarian army that is overwhelming by the army!
According to the information transmitted back by Niu Zhantian in front, the barbarian army was divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, with 10,000 in the front, 20,000 in the middle, and 10,000 in the rear.
Huang Zhang, who received the news, jumped up with excitement.
What he is most worried about now is the large number of barbarian troops, and he can't stop this little bit of people in his hands.
But I never expected that the other party would divide the troops!
Of course, although they are not completely separated, at least when the two armies meet, the gap is not particularly large, and it is acceptable.
"Your Highness, even if the barbarian army divides its troops, against 10,000 barbarians, it will take at least 30,000 troops to stabilize the formation and not be scattered!" Chu Liang said.
After fighting with the barbarians last time, Chu Liang had a relatively clear understanding of the barbarians.
The barbarians are all tall and tall, and once they charge into battle, without solid depth, the queue can easily be broken up! This is the understanding that Chu Liang came to after fighting with the barbarians.
At present, with only their mixed troops of 10,000 people, it is very difficult to clash head-on with the barbarian army!
Huang Zhang also understood that he had personally fought with the barbarians, and he had a hard time dealing with the barbarians, not to mention that these ordinary soldiers were already very human if they were not afraid of the barbarians' charge, so he naturally didn't expect to fight the barbarians.
"I know that I can't go head-to-head with the barbarians, and even if it's a fight, if the winner is not divided in a short period of time, and the barbarians' Chinese army catches up, it will be the end of the group's annihilation!"
Seeing how sober Huang Zhang's understanding of the battle situation was, Chu Liang was very satisfied. After all, Huang Zhang was much younger than him, and he was afraid that the young man in front of him would look down on the barbarians after winning a battle, which was a taboo for soldiers! Now it seems that he is overthinking.
Although Huang Zhang repelled the barbarian vanguard army before, it was by fire and weather, it was the force of nature, and without this force of nature, it was impossible for them to go toe-to-toe with the barbarian army.
"Then what can Your Highness do?" Chu Liang asked.
It is not a simple matter to stop the advance of the barbarian army.
Although the barbarian army has slowed down, with the pace of the barbarians' advance, they will be able to reach the entrance of the official road in Linjiang Town early tomorrow morning.
And before that, it is necessary to ensure that the barbarian army does not accelerate, and there are no scouts to break through the blockade of Niu Zhantian.
If there is an accident in one of them, the consequences will be fatal!
Huang Zhang looked around the official road, this is Xiaocang Mountain, in order to build the convenience of the official road, most of the roads are built in the flat part of the valley, there are mostly high mountains on both sides, and the terrain of the axe is really difficult to hide soldiers.
The only two places where soldiers can be hidden, one is where Huang Zhang stacks up the stone pillars, and the other is the major cottages that enter the depths of Xiaocang Mountain from Tianjiabao, but it is obvious that these two places have nothing to do with them now.
"The terrain on both sides is very dangerous!" Huang Zhang looked at the mountain walls on both sides of the official road and said.
"That's right, if we have as much army as Wushanhui, we can set up camps on the official road, and these sides are so steep that it is impossible for the barbarian army to spread out for a large-scale impact. It's a pity that Wu Shan will shrink in Tianjiabao, and now he has also returned to the Violent Tiger Xiongguan, which is really infuriating! Chu Liang reprimanded angrily.
As a well-known Northwest man, he really can't get used to Wu Shanhui's behavior of retreating without a fight, of course, Wu Shanhui can make such a cowardly move, which is indeed excusable, but he just can't accept it!
It was Chu Liang's words that made Huang Zhang think of something.
"What did you just say?" Huang Zhang asked suddenly.
Hearing Huang Zhang's question, Chu Liang was stunned for a moment.
"I ...... I didn't say anything, huh? ”
Seeing Huang Zhang's inexplicable excitement, Chu Liang thought that he had said something wrong.
"You just said that if you set up a camp on the official road, the barbarian army will not dare to move!"
Chu Liang nodded, this is what he said.
"But Your Highness, this is also a premise, if there is no army of Wu Shanhui in charge, we will be crushed by the barbarian army as soon as we build a camp!"
