Chapter 550: Killing Three Birds with One Stone
It's dawn again.
At the end of the day, the soldiers of the main army of Yunguanbang walked out of the tent, this was the second day they came to the bank of the Yunguanxi River, according to the original plan, today, they must advance to the west bank of the Yunguanxi River.
"The vanguard coalition is already approaching West Cloud City, we should also quickly cross the Yunguan West River and approach West Cloud City."
"Yunxibang's team is guarding the opposite bank, and there is such a turbulent river, how can we cross the river?"
"If you can't cross it, you have to cross it! The Vanguard Alliance is already approaching Xiyun City, so we can't let them win the battle alone, right? This Yunxi Bang team has just been established, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not strong, so we can easily defeat them. As long as we cross the river, we are victorious! ”
"But we can't cross the river now, you see, the current is faster than yesterday, and it can't be crossed at all!"
Several Yunguanbang soldiers said as they walked towards the river.
At this time, on the east bank of the Yunguanxi River, many soldiers of the main army of Yunguanbang had gathered, and they looked at the turbulent river, and they did not dare to approach the river at all, let alone cross the river!
The generalissimo of Yunguanbang Zhenbang was also on the bank of the river.
He knew before Chenshi that the river was rising again, and the original plan to cross the river at Chenshi could not be carried out again.
He knew that the Yunxi Bang team controlled the size and flow of the river upstream, and it would definitely not be easy for the Yun Guanbang team to cross the river smoothly.
But such a large army of 100,000 soldiers should not be blocked by the river, and it will be made fun of by other creatures. Therefore, it is now necessary to come up with a way to break this practice of Yunxi Bang's team as soon as possible.
To break this practice of the Yunxi Bang team, the first way is to seize control of the upstream water flow and change the unfavorable position of the main army of Yunguan Bang, and the second is to bypass.
But it won't be easy to seize control of the upstream flow now.
Because the main army of Yunguanbang is now unable to approach the upstream dam at all, it can only watch the tall dam on the east bank and be helpless.
Therefore, it is somewhat impractical to seize control of the upstream water flow, and the only way is to bypass.
"Order the entire coalition army to advance downstream and find a suitable place to cross the river!" The Generalissimo of Yunguan Bang Zhenbang ordered loudly.
He doesn't want to wait here any longer, he wants to find a way forward in the movement.
With the order, the main army of Yunguanbang marched towards the south.
The small coalition forces of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force also left their positions and marched south when they saw that their opponents were moving south along the Yunguanxi River.
"Yun Guanbang's team wants to cross the river downstream, and we will also follow them to the south, quickly, don't lose them!" The marshal of the Eleventh Coalition commanded loudly.
As the eleventh coalition moved, the smaller coalition forces behind also moved south, all staring closely at their opponents.
So, I saw that on both sides of the Yunguan West River, the two armies were advancing rapidly along the river bank from north to south, as if they were racing.
Seeing this situation, the generalissimo of Yunguanbang immediately ordered: "All legions speed up, cross the river in front of the Yunxi Bang team, and don't give the Yunxi Bang team time to dig trenches!" ”
The various legions of Yunguanbang increased their speed again, and quickly advanced along the east bank of the Yunguanxi River, trying to find a suitable place to cross the river in front of Yunguanbang's team.
Seeing that the main army of Yunguanbang had accelerated its advance, the various small coalition forces of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force had also accelerated their advance.
However, the Yunguan West River is curved, and the section in front of it happens to be a large bay, and the east bank where the main army of Yunguan State walks is the inner circle of the big bay, and the west bank where the Yunxi Expeditionary Force walks is the outer circle of this big bay.
This made the main army of Yunguanbang quickly throw off the Yunxi Expeditionary Force and go to the front far away.
Seeing that the main army of Yunguanbang was getting farther and farther away from him, the officers and soldiers of the various coalition forces of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force were anxious, so they charged forward together, wanting to catch up with the main army of Yunguanbang.
And the main army of Yunguanbang continued to advance to the south, trying to find a suitable place to cross the river.
In this way, the two armies chased after me on both sides of the Yunguanxi River, and quickly rushed towards the lower reaches of the Yunguanxi River.
Two hours later, Yun Guanbang's main army advanced nearly sixty miles downstream, and finally found a suitable place to cross the river.
Here, the river is wide, the water is completely spread out, and the water flow is slow, which is a good place to cross the river.
The most important thing is that this is also a big river bay, and the main army of Yunguanbang can cross the river by taking a shortcut, and the Yunxi expeditionary force is still on the other side of the river bay.
"Quickly cross the river and rush to the west of the river. Then they faced the Yunxi Bang team in battle formation. Generalissimo Yunguanbang immediately ordered.
The allied forces of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force, which was still rapidly chasing north of Dahewan, saw that the main army of Yunguanbang began to cross the river, and all the soldiers ran with their feet.
Although it is easy to cross the river here, if you want to leave the Yunguanxi River and move westward after crossing the river, you must bypass the mountain in front of you and pass on the river bank not far from the front of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force, so he immediately sent a message to the various coalition forces, asking them to ambush along the river bank in front of them, preparing to block the main army of Yunguan State after crossing the river.
After receiving the transmission from the mountain eagle, the marshals of the various coalition forces led their soldiers to advance and ambush along the way, blocking all the riverbanks that the main army of Yunguanbang must pass through after crossing the river.
The mountain eagle flew to the sky above the main army of Yunguanbang, and watched the main army of Yunguanbang cross the river while flying.
At this time, the vanguard of the main army of Yunguanbang had crossed the river and was advancing along the west bank, while the eleventh coalition army of the Yunxi Expeditionary Army, which was walking in the front, had also reached the river bank in front of them.
When the marshal of the Eleventh Coalition Army saw the soldiers of Yunguanbang who were getting closer and closer, he shouted loudly: "All the soldiers will charge with me and kill them back." ”
With the order of the marshal of the 11th Coalition Army, the three legions rushed together to the vanguard of Yunguanbang, which had just crossed the river and was advancing along the west bank, and soon a great battle began.
Immediately afterwards, the Twelfth Coalition Army also encountered the Yunguanbang team that followed closely behind, followed by the Thirteenth Coalition Army, the Fourteenth Coalition Army, and the Fifteenth Coalition Army all joined the battle.
With the five legions in front being blocked by the Yunxi Bang team, the Yun Guanbang team in the back could only stay in the river and wait.
When the generalissimo of Yunguanbang Zhenbang saw the battle on the river bank to the west, he immediately urged the Yunguanbang team, which was still crossing the river, to advance from both sides, detour back to the back of the Yunxibang team, and then flank the Yunxibang team together.
In the air, Shanying saw that the five legions behind the Yunguanbang team began to cross the river from both sides, so he sent a message to the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth allied forces, telling them to keep a close eye on the Yunguanbang team behind them, and attack when they saw them approaching the riverbank.
After the marshals of the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th allied armies received the news from the mountain eagle, they immediately organized their soldiers to move from the ambushed bank to the river, preparing to block the Yunguanbang troops crossing the river from both sides.
Soon, the Yunguanbang team that had crossed the river from the left gradually reached the riverbank, and the three legions of the Sixteenth Coalition Army immediately rushed up, because this was the Yunguanbang legion they had been staring at.
As soon as the team of Yun Guanbang who crossed the river on the right walked onto the river bank, they were surrounded by the 17th Regiment of Regiments.
After this, the Yunguanbang team that followed these two legions across the river was blocked in the river and could not advance.
At this moment, the mountain eagle suddenly said loudly in the air: "The main army of Yunguanbang has failed, all the soldiers of Yunguanbang, withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly, don't fall in love with war!" ”
The voice of the mountain eagle was sharp and piercing, and it entered the minds of the Yunguanbang soldiers, causing many of the Yunguanbang soldiers to give up the battle and retreat towards the river.
When the soldiers of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force heard the voice of the mountain eagle and knew that it was the generalissimo's voice attack, they not only did not stop their own attack, but attacked more vigorously.
In this way, the soldiers of Yunguanbang, who were fighting on the bank of the river, began to retreat behind, while the soldiers of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force were staring closely at the front charge.
After a while, the soldiers of the main army of Yunguanbang were driven into the Yunguanxi River, and they completely lost the possibility of landing on the west bank of the Yunguanxi River.
Seeing this situation, the generalissimo of Yunguanbang Zhenbang had to order the troops to retreat and retreat to the east bank of the Yunguanxi River.
Although the battle on the riverbank of the two armies was not long, both sides suffered damage.
Due to the huge disparity in the number of officers and men of the two armies, coupled with the fact that the soldiers of Yunguanbang consumed more power when crossing the river, and most of the officers and men of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force were waiting for work, the losses of the main army of Yunguanbang in this riverbank battle were relatively large.
According to the statistics of both sides, no soldiers of the Yunxi Expeditionary Force were killed, but more than 30,000 soldiers were injured.
The main army of Yunguanbang left more than 6,000 corpses on the embankment west of the river, and more than 25,000 soldiers were wounded.
The generalissimo of Yunguanbang Zhenbang was very angry and a little unbelievable when he learned of such a loss.
"Report to the Generalissimo, the number of our troops is too small, and basically one legion is against three legions in Yunxi State. I suggest hurry up and give us more troops, or we won't be able to win!" A general who had cultivated in the early stage of the second level of the Divine Disciple Realm said.
"How can Yunxi Bang have so many teams? Could it be that all the creatures in Xiyun City have come here? Generalissimo Zhenbang asked puzzled.
"Report to the Generalissimo, there are more than one million living beings in Xiyun City, and there are about more than 200,000 Yunxi Bang soldiers here, and most of them are above the eighth level of the Divine Infant Realm, and they should be living beings in Xiyun City and the surrounding grassland. In addition, they are all a team of ten soldiers, advancing and retreating collectively, as if according to some formation, it is difficult for us to defeat. Another general who had attained the first level of the Divine Disciple Realm said.
"We only have ten legions now, and the team that appeared in Yunxi Bang just now has about twenty-four or five legions, which far outnumber us. It's really hard for our soldiers to make a difference! Do you really want to ask the lord of the state for more troops? Generalissimo Zhenbang thought.
"Generalissimo, I have a suggestion." The deputy marshal of the second-level mid-stage cultivation of the Divine Disciple Realm said.
"Okay, you can say it!" Generalissimo Zhenbang said.
This deputy marshal of the mid-level cultivation of the Divine Disciple Realm is a leopard, and he was originally the marshal of the main army of this Yunguan State, but because the Generalissimo of Zhenbang was ordered by the director of the Yunguan State to recruit the marshal of the army for the Yunguan State, he had to be the deputy marshal of this main army.
He said: "The vanguard coalition led by Marshal Rhino has crossed the Yunguan West River, and we should send a message to him, telling him to lead the vanguard coalition army to attack from west to east, and cooperate with us to flank the Yunxi State troops." If we can do this, we will not only be able to wipe out the Yunxi Bang team that is blocking us, but we will also be able to cross the Yunguan West River and go to Xiyun City smoothly to destroy Yunxi Bang, killing three birds with one stone! ”
