478 Steppe Armageddon 3
β¦β¦
"Driving~"
"Dada~~Dada~~"
On the desert Gobi Desert, a 5,000-strong Xuanjia Yuling cavalry led a tide-like storm and swept towards a loess high city hundreds of miles away.
"The capital of Yan Kingdom is nearby, and there are no scouts to explore horses?"
The head coach Duan Cheng keenly felt the strange atmosphere.
Even if the main force of the Yan army was confronting Meng Luo in Mobei, the troops would not be so embarrassed that they would not even be enough to defend the capital.
With this in mind, he decisively stopped the march.
"What's wrong, General Duan? What's wrong? β
"You quickly send a team of scouts to explore the way, and report back as soon as there is any movement, and if you are in danger, you will contact the letter gun."
"Whoa!"
The chief scout immediately led the troops and galloped forward with twenty horsemen.
"The whole army rests in place! The armor does not leave the body, and the war horse does not get off the saddle! β
After three consecutive days of marching, the soldiers of the Han army were also exhausted, but when they thought of the exploits they had obtained after breaking the city, they did not complain at all.
They took out dry food and marching kettles to quench their thirst and hunger, and some took out black beans and forage to feed the war horses, seizing every opportunity to recover their physical strength and meet the upcoming battle.
Duan Cheng finished a pot of water in one go, ate a bite of fried noodles casually, and then took out a speculum and looked into the distance.
At this time, the deputy general Xu Kun asked: "General Duan, we have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all lightly armed, how can we break through the capital of Yan Kingdom?" β
"Who told you that General Ben is going to fight the capital?"
"And what is this?"
"I'm not confident enough to rely on cavalry to climb over the city wall, it's Huo Shuai's business to attack the fortification, and the duty of this general is to sweep away all the resistance forces outside Yandu."
"Will the Yan army really come to us for a decisive battle?"
"The choice they have?"
The cold words made Xu Kun shudder.
I only listened to Duan Cheng continue word by word: "This general is going to slowly eat up the strength of the Yan army one bite at a time, and in the meantime, the Yan capital is the turtle in the urn!" β
As soon as the words fell, there was a soft sound in the distance.
Duan Cheng and Xu Kun picked up the speculum and looked at it together, only to see traces of fireworks blooming in the sky above the northeast.
"Get on the horse! Sortie! β
Duan Cheng gave an order and decisively ordered the whole army to gallop in the northeast direction.
In an instant, thousands of horses galloped, and the still dust once again rolled up a storm of death.
β¦β¦
Outside the capital of King Yan, Murong Bao looked at the twenty Han army iron cavalry who fell in a pool of blood and was pierced by ten thousand arrows, as well as the more than 100 Yan army cavalry around, and immediately frowned.
He had expected that the Han army would take advantage of Murong Yong's troops to fight a decisive battle with Tuoba Hei to raid Yandu, so he began to launch an ambush on Yandu's Wolf King Mountain as early as half a month ago, wanting to take advantage of the Han army's unpreparedness to catch him off guard.
But he never expected that he was still too naΓ―ve, and the Han army only paid the price of twenty horsemen to see through his trick.
But now, he simply decided to fight to the death with the Han army.
He still has 20,000 cavalry, which may not be able to block the steel torrent of the Han army.
"Warriors of the Great Yan Kingdom! Those lowly Han people want to challenge the wolves, are you willing to use your land, your own women, and your wealth to become bargaining chips for the Han people! β
"Unwilling~~"
"You are the children of Mother Earth, the descendants of the Heavenly Wolf King, this land is the foundation of our Yan people's survival for generations, are you willing to watch them fall under the iron hooves of the Han people?"
"Unwilling to !!"
"The Murong clan takes the sky as the father and the earth as the father, and only our gods are worthy of our knees! Are you willing to crawl at the feet of the Han people and steal your life? β
"I don't want to!"
"We don't want to~~"
Encouraged by Murong Bao, the 20,000 Yan army iron cavalry erupted into a tsunami-like roar.
Once upon a time, Saiwai has always been the world of nomads, when will it be the turn of a group of two-legged sheep who rely on farming to call the shots?
Nomads are born warriors, the best on horseback, how can they be ridden on the head by your group of cowardly mud legs?
At this moment, the wolf nature in their bodies was awakened.
Greedy, brutal, and ruthless.
This is the biggest capital that the Murong clan can survive on the grassland.
"Okay, Yan Army warriors, let this Wolf King Mountain witness the rise of our Great Yan Kingdom! Mother Earth will surely bless us and achieve the glory that belongs to us! β
"Roar~~"
The wolf howls and shakes the sky, echoing the universe.
β¦β¦
"Where is this?"
"Wolf King Mountain!"
"All stopped!"
At the foot of the Wolf King Mountain, Duan Cheng ordered the whole army to stop and personally led the team to observe the terrain.
After a rough assessment, he found that this Wolf King Mountain was actually half of the cliff, and the gorge was surrounded by horseshoe-shaped.
If you want to enter the mountain, it seems that there is only one front.
"If you want to use the mountain to dive and expand the effect of cavalry charge, it's a pity."
A grim smile hung on Duan Cheng's face.
Xu Kun asked, "General Duan, why did you stop the army?" β
Duan Cheng pointed in the direction of the cliff: "If I were the commander of the Yan army, I would definitely not give up the greatest impact advantage of the cavalry and see the passage to the upper wind of the Wolf King Mountain?"
As soon as the enemy army passes through the inside of the canyon, I will lead the army to rush straight and launch an offensive against the enemy from the rear. β
Xu Kun nodded.
Duan Cheng continued: "If the enemy army goes up the gentle slope to fight a decisive battle with me, I can take advantage of the situation to cover the army for a surprise kill, and use the advantage of the gentle slope to crush the enemy's situation. β
Xu Kun: "In this way, isn't it difficult to move an inch?" β
"No!"
Duan Cheng said.
"Although the Yan army occupies the best of the territory, they have a fatal loophole that they have not noticed!"
"What?"
"What is lacking in Mobei?"
"This ...... The subordinates don't know. β
"Water!"
Duan Cheng's voice was extremely piercing, and his pupils flashed with killing madness.
"Cut off its water source?"
Duan Cheng nodded, and then ordered: "Order the army to dig the soil and cut off the water source under the mountain!" β
"Whoa!"
β¦β¦
After two days, Murong Bao drank the last sip of water, panicked the water bladder for a while, and after making sure that there was no more half a drop of water, he said to his subordinates: "Is there still water?" β
The Yan Army Sima shook his head: "General, the water has run out. β
"Why haven't the people who went to Yingshui come back?"
"My subordinates are going to investigate."
The Yan army Sima was just about to leave, when suddenly a Yan soldier looking for water hit an arrow and stumbled to Murong Bao's side.
"The general is not good! The Han army surrounded the Wolf King Mountain and cut off the water source under the mountain. β
"What!"
Murong Bao was shocked when he heard this, and he lifted his subordinates and said viciously: "Didn't I already send hundreds of horsemen to station near the water source?" Why didn't the Han army report it? β
"General, and Buye, they have been killed by the Han army, and the heads have been folded into a Jingguan and placed under the Wolf King Mountain."
"Ahhhhh
Murong Bao was furious when he heard this.
"Despicable and shameless Han dog! In vain, I plan to fight with you and others, and I don't want to use such a trick, but it's annoying, it's annoying~~~~~~"
Suddenly, Murong Bao was furious, and decisively turned on his horse: "Warriors, rush down the mountain with me and kill all those shameful and dirty Han dogs!" β
"Roar~~"
The 20,000 iron horsemen roared in unison and began to attack the bottom of the mountain.
However, at this moment, smoke was billowing from the hillside in the distance.
"What's that?"
Seeing this scene, Murong Bao only felt a chill in his heart, and a strong uneasiness swept through his body.
