Chapter 501: Strength and Weakness
Just when Huang Budo fell behind the grassland cavalry and slashed hard, the few fleeing Huainan Wang guardsmen also discovered the abnormality behind.
It's just that although they had already discovered that Huang Budo was slashing and killing those steppe cavalry, they didn't turn around to help.
On the one hand, this is because once they turn around, those steppe cavalry will inevitably stop, so all the steppe cavalry will probably turn around and kill Huang Budo first.
On the other hand, it was also because of Huang Budo's words just now that these Huainan Wang guards felt very angry.
Therefore, they didn't want Huang Budo to have a good time, they now wanted the grassland cavalry to give Huang Budo a little hardship.
However, they did not dare to go too far, and as soon as the steppe cavalry stopped pursuing, they would immediately come to their aid.
They absolutely did not want Huang Budo to be killed by the steppe cavalry.
Otherwise, they will be punished when they return.
"These damn Dayu people are as cunning as foxes!"
The corpse at the gate of the city, Xingchen, after seeing Huang Budo coaxing his steppe cavalry, suddenly attacked the killer, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
"Major General, don't be angry, I'm going to go and capture that cunning Dayu man myself!"
Seeing this, the grassland cavalry was also extremely angry, and after he made a grassland salute directly to the corpse star, he turned his horse's head and personally led more than thirty horsemen to kill in the direction of Huang Budo.
And on the top of the hill where the King of Huainan and they were temporarily stationed, Li Yi and the others also saw Huang Budo's actions clearly.
Although they couldn't see the faces of Huang Budo and the others clearly, they still understood the whole thing.
"What a cunning guy that chased the steppe people to slash and kill."
Keiko said with a smile as she looked at it with her arms in her arms.
"Since ancient times, soldiers have never been tired of cheating, this guy must have used some method to deceive the trust of the grassland people in the first place, so that he can have the current results."
Li Yi guessed the general situation of the matter at once.
"Although that guy has some brains, but the people in front of him who are running away seem to be deliberately embarrassing the guy in the back, if they stop at this time, and then a counter-charge, although they may not be able to kill many people, but at least they can rescue their companions behind!"
An Su's attention at this time was not on Huang Budo's body, he was now frowning at the few Huainan King guards' guards who were still running wildly.
"They seemed to have some arguments at the beginning just now, so maybe now they are deliberately embarrassing the person in the back!"
Qi Chao opened his mouth.
At the beginning, it was Qi Chao who discovered the actions of Huang Budo and others for the first time.
So he was very careful at the time.
"So the brave and resourceful guy in the back is going to be killed by his comrades?"
Mi Yiren was a little unbearable.
"If they don't turn around and rescue, then the guy in the back should be dead."
Li Yi looked at the direction of the grassland army, and suddenly rushed out of twenty or thirty horses, and he said with a sneer.
"Now that they're all burning their eyebrows, these guys are still hurting their comrades because of personal grudges, if I were the one behind, I would definitely kill these ruthless and unrighteous guys first."
Qi Chao said angrily at this time.
"Humph! Do you know what, now they turn around and a lot of them can save the guy behind them, even if they don't go back to help, they will be reprimanded by the top at most, after all, the number of the grassland army is several times more than them, and it is not easy to punish too much. ”
Qin Shaojie looked at Qi Chao with disdain at this time and said.
"No wonder the army of the Dayu Dynasty is so weak that it is defeated and retreated by the grassland army every year, that is, there are too many people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
When Qi Chao heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet and mocked.
"Boy, you know a fart, if a guy like you goes to the battlefield, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive even a battle."
Qin Shaojie was not angry at Qi Chao's ridicule, but instead teased Qi Chao in a weird way.
"Okay, both of you shut up!"
Just when the two wanted to continue arguing, Li Yi on the side interrupted the quarrel with a cold snort.
When the two saw Li Yi speak, they obediently closed their mouths.
"Jing Gongzi, do you think the next person will survive?"
An Su turned his head and asked Jing Zizheng, he admired the guy who chased the grassland cavalry alone.
"It should be, you see those people down the hill are also starting to act."
Everyone looked in the direction that Jing Zizheng knew, and found that the king of Huainan and the crowd where they were also rushed out of twenty or thirty horses.
"There is so much difference in the distance between the two sides, and the speed of the steppe cavalry's war horses is fast, can they arrive in time?"
Mi Yiren is still a little worried.
"If the guys in front of them stop now, they won't be able to catch up, but if they keep running now, they should be able to catch up."
Li Yi gave a direct answer at this time.
"But if the steppe cavalry suddenly stopped and concentrated on dealing with the one behind now, wouldn't it be okay?"
Qin Shaojie felt that he was very faceless because he was scolded by Li Yi just now, so he immediately jumped out and asked.
"If they suddenly stop and turn to deal with the person behind them now, then the few Dayu people in front suddenly turn around and kill the horseshoe, then the steppe cavalry will be attacked in front and behind, not to mention how many people they will lose, the delay alone is enough for the people on Dayu's side."
As soon as Li Yi's words fell, Qin Shaojie's unconvinced voice sounded again.
"Isn't it that the steppe cavalry over there has also been killed, and it is uncertain who will win and who will lose at that time!"
After Qin Shaojie finished speaking, he looked at Li Yi and Qi Chao with a proud face.
In his opinion, his words would definitely be able to make the two speechless.
"If you take a closer look at the comparison of the numbers of the two sides, although there are more than twenty people on the grassland army's side now, but that one Dayu man alone has killed six or seven of them, and each of the twenty or thirty people on the Dayu side is wearing armor, and then look at those grassland cavalry, all of them are not armored, if it is really hedged, it is not clear who wins and who loses!"
Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Isn't the combat effectiveness of the steppe cavalry much stronger than that of the Dayu cavalry? Otherwise, why are these steppe people in the border fortress able to defeat my Dayu army every year! ”
Qin Shaojie still defended unconvinced.
"Who told you that the steppe cavalry must be stronger by the combat effectiveness of the Dayu cavalry?"
Li Yi looked at Qin Shaojie in surprise and asked.
But Li Yi's question made Qin Shaojie, Mi Yi and Qin Shaoyan stupid.
"Isn't that true?"
Qin Shaoyan looked at Li Yi puzzled and asked.
"Actually, what Gongzi said is right, the grassland people are actually inferior to the Dayu people in terms of pure combat power."
Yu Zhen, who had not spoken much, said angrily.
"How is this possible? Then why can't the Dayu people beat the grassland people? ”
Mi Yiren had already known Yu Zhenlei's identity before, so he did not doubt the authenticity of what Yu Zhenlei said.
It's just that Yu Zhenlei's statement really subverted his previous cognition.
"That's right, why do you say that the combat effectiveness of the steppe cavalry is not as good as that of the Dayu cavalry?"
Qin Shaojie saw Yu Zhenlei's big and tall man open his mouth, and he immediately asked.
"Because I used to be a prairie man!"
Yu Zhenlei's words made Qin Shaojie completely dumbfounded.
"In fact, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, the grassland people are really inferior to the Dayu people, whether it is in weapons or armor, the grassland people are far inferior to the Dayu people."
Yu Zhenlei continued to explain.
"Then why do the steppe people win every time?"
Qin Shaoyan thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Yu Zhenlei said.
But this made her even more confused, why the weak can win and the strong will lose.
"Because we steppe people know that our individual strength is not as good as you Dayu people, so we will pay attention to our tactics when fighting."
Yu Zhenlei thought for a moment before concluding such a sentence.
"Tactics?"
After hearing this, all of them showed puzzled looks.
"In fact, the grassland people are aware of their own shortcomings, so when they fight, they will use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and try to suppress the Dayu army with their super speed and cavalry."
Li Yi saw that it was difficult for Yu Zhenlei to express what he wanted to say, so he took over the conversation.
"So, if the steppe cavalry hadn't been able to defeat our Dayu army if it weren't for their good speed?"
Qin Shaojie still felt that what Li Yi said was a bit ridiculous, but Qin Shaoyan beside him had already fallen into deep thought.
"That's right, that's why I just said that if the steppe cavalry stopped to attack the man behind, then when the reinforcements from Dayu arrived, they would have no chance of winning, because the cavalry would be no different from foot soldiers when they stopped."
Li Yi continued to explain to them.
"I see, then now that the grassland army is attacking them around Jinling City, once they enter the city, won't they lose their strength?"
Then the ghost doctor asked with a frown.
"Theoretically, once they capture Jinling City and enter the city, their strength will inevitably be greatly reduced."
Li Yi nodded and said.
"In that case, why don't you just let go of the city gates, let them enter the city, and then close the city gates, and give them an urn to catch turtles?"
As soon as Qi Chao heard that the strength of the grassland cavalry would be greatly reduced when they entered Jinling City, he immediately proposed excitedly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.
And Qi Ning also looked at him with an idiot-like gaze at this time.
"Childe, do you mean that this time the grassland cavalry attacked Jinling City under the guise of a front?"
At this time, Ansu had already heard the strangeness.
"That's right, they can't really enter the city until they annihilate all those troops in Jinling City."
"So, they're going to encircle the point and send reinforcements?"
As a member of the Grass Army, Mi Yiren also participated in the battles of the Grass Army attacking the mansions of various officials and vassal kings some time ago.
He also learned a lot of battlefield tactics in these battles.
"It's supposed to be just one of their purposes!"
Li Yi still always thinks that these steppe cavalry came to get the thunder smuggled by the imperial court.
Although he didn't know why the steppe army had to get these thunderbolts, it was obvious that they were of great use.
"Look at the few Dayu cavalry who fled in front of you and killed them back."
Just as everyone was discussing, Qi Chao suddenly shouted loudly.
So Li Yi and the others immediately stood on tiptoe and looked.
Then they found that several Huainan king's guards who had fled suddenly turned their horses and killed them.
In fact, it is not that they are heroic, nor that they have a conscience.
The reason why they would kill back at this time was that they had already seen that there were already twenty or thirty people on their side who had killed again.
If they continue to run back at this time, then they will not be able to explain it when they go back.
"The guy in the back shouldn't be in any danger now."
Keiko was looking at the battle situation in the distance and said slowly.
"You say these steppe people won't suddenly launch a large-scale attack, right? Those guys from the city guard camp are stationed at the foot of our mountain! ”
Qin Shaojie said worriedly.
In fact, as soon as the king of Huainan and the city guard battalion were stationed on their side, he began to curse secretly in his heart.
He was very worried that he would be caught by these guys.
And now these people actually took the initiative to provoke the grassland army, once the grassland army was completely annoyed, the other party's army was dispatched, and the king of Huainan and the city guard camp were not enough to see at all.
"This man who arranged the troops is also a knowledgeable person, and he temporarily stationed his army at the foot of the mountain to prevent the steppe army from attacking."
Jing Zizheng shook his head and reassured Qin Shaojie.
"Is what you're saying true?"
"If you don't believe you can get out on your own, no one is forcing you to stay here!"
Qi Chao couldn't help but say with disgust when he heard this.
"I can stay wherever I like, you can't care!"
Seeing that he was being scolded, Qin Shaojie couldn't help but sneer.
"Childe, what are we going to do next? Shall we help a bunch of those guys in the city guards? ”
After Ansu confirmed that the people at the foot of the mountain were the people from the city guard camp, he wanted to propose to go down and help them.
But Li Yi shook his head.
"It's not time yet, I always think that the grassland army is coming back this time for those thunderstorms in Jinling City, although I don't know what they want to do with these thunderstorms, but it's definitely a big deal."
"Senior brother, do you mean that we just need to keep an eye on it now, and don't let the grassland army carry away the thunderbolts?"
Jingzizheng looked at Li Yi with some surprise and asked.
"That's right!"
Li Yi nodded and said affirmatively.
"If the grassland army wants to do something with the thunder, I have a guess!"
After hearing this, Keiko thought about it and said.
"Oh? What did you think of, brother? ”
"Do you remember the harrier eagle we shot down just now?"
Keiko asked instead of answering.
"Of course I do, but what does this have to do with the thunderbolt?"
Li Yi asked puzzled.
"Senior brother, think about it, the grassland army has left a group of men in the shadows, is it possible that they have other responsibilities besides monitoring the movements of those troops in Jinling City?"
Keiko immediately reminded.
"You said they were going to transport the thunderbolt to Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum?"
Li Yi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.
"Senior brother, you might as well make a bold guess about why they want to transport the thunderbolt to the Ancestral Tomb of Emperor Yu?"
Keiko continued to remind.
"They are planning to blow up the Imperial Tomb!"
At this moment, Li Yi's thoughts suddenly broke through, and what he didn't understand before suddenly became clear.
