Chapter 537: Sneak Attack After Circling
While Mu Xiayan, the head of Zongzheng Temple, sat confidently and waited for the steppe cavalry to drain his physical strength, he did not know that a crisis was about to annihilate their coalition army was coming.
Although the Qingjia Army in Mu Xiayan's hands and the Tiger Guards in Shi Wensheng's hands, or the personal guards of the vassal kings, are all very powerful.
Even Zheng Yu's Yaowu army strength is not bad, but sometimes the victory of the battle does not only depend on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
If Mu Shayan had read history well, he would have found that there were not as many battles in which the coalition forces had been able to win since ancient times.
Even if these coalition forces were outnumbered and well equipped, it would not help.
For example, the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
However, Zhao Xiang was also a person who admired the seal of the Six Kingdoms, and he could mobilize the army of the Six Kingdoms at will, and finally lost to the Qin State, which seemed to be defeated at that time.
Although he forced the Qin State to dare not send a letter to Guguan for fifteen years during this period, in the end, his joint column was defeated.
In the end, he himself ended up being torn apart by a car and died.
If this example is not enough to show that most of the coalition forces will fail, then the battle between Taizu of the former Han Dynasty and the overlord at that time is once again proved by facts what it means to be scattered, heroic, and heroic, and to gather is a waste bear.
At the beginning, in order to defeat his biggest opponent, the overlord, the former Han Taizu did not hesitate to unite the five princes and gathered an army of 560,000 to attack the overlord's royal capital.
But the result was that the 560,000 army was completely dispersed by the overlord's 30,000 army.
If it weren't for the fast running of the former Han Taizu at that time, it is estimated that even his life would have to be explained on the battlefield.
But now Dayu's coalition army is much smaller than the army organized by Han Taizu before, and even their number is not as large as the number of the grassland cavalry.
And the current steppe cavalry is not far behind the 30,000 cavalry of the original overlord.
Even these steppe cavalry had much sharper insight in battle than the original overlords.
After all, these steppe cavalrymen grew up in battles of blood and fire.
At this time, they were waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow the Dayu coalition to throw themselves into chaos.
And the opportunity they were waiting for was emerging little by little.
Ironically, this opportunity was exposed by the Dayu coalition itself.
"General, these damn cowards are like turtle shells shrunk in a turtle shell, they just refuse to show their heads, and if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid our sons and horses won't be able to hold out for long."
At this time, a grassland general standing outside the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu said to Fei Doujin beside him.
"It doesn't matter, now it's not just that we can't hold out for long, but these Dayu people on the other side can't hold out for long."
Fei Doujin said with a fierce look in his eyes.
Since he knew that his son might have been killed, Fei Doujin had already made up his mind to kill all these Dayu people in front of him to bury his son.
"But the losses of our non-stop charging boys are too great!"
The steppe general wanted to persuade him again.
But then he saw Fei Doujin's eyes like ten thousand years of ice.
"Are you going to disobey the shaman's orders?"
The general shuddered when he heard this.
He didn't dare to take this charge seriously.
"Don't dare!"
"You have to know that we are the attacking side, even if we can't hold on, at most we will stop the attack, and we are cavalry, and the speed of retreat will be very fast, but these Dayu people are different."
Fei Doujin slowed down for a while and explained to the general.
"They're on the defensive side and they're mostly foot soldiers, and if they can't hold on, they're going to end up completely collapsing."
When the general heard this, he immediately lowered his head, and then beat his chest with his right hand.
"Follow the shaman's orders."
He immediately turned his horse's head and headed towards the charging steppe cavalry.
Just when the grassland cavalry and the Dayu coalition army were all gritting their teeth and holding on, in the woods not far away, the old Huainan King and the others had already fought a complete battle with the grassland cavalry.
Originally, Huang Budo thought that it was unlikely that these grassland barbarians would be able to stop him and others.
But I didn't think that these guys were completely out of the ordinary.
Not only did they stand up to stop them as soon as they were about to flee, but they even put on a posture of not ending to the death.
Faced with this situation, the old Huainan king could only grit his teeth and ordered the whole army to attack, and rushed straight to the center of the opponent's crowd, and the generals on horseback rushed over.
Just after the old Huainan King gave the order, the reaction of the grassland general in the crowd opposite was really as the old Huainan King expected.
As soon as he found that all the troops on the opposite side were coming at him, he began to retreat on his horseback.
And the steppe cavalry in front of him stepped forward one after another to block the onrushing city guard battalion soldiers and the personal guards of the king of Huainan.
"No doubt! You don't charge! ”
Just when Huang Budo was about to charge with his knife, he was stopped by the old King Huainan.
"Now is a good time for the king to capture and kill the enemy chieftain, if you delay a little longer, the damned steppe barbarian will run away."
Huang Budo said a little anxiously when he heard this.
"Don't be in a hurry!"
The old Huainan King said unhurriedly.
"Now you get on your horses and go around behind these steppe barbarians!"
"But if we want to go around behind each other, these steppe barbarians will definitely come to stop us."
In fact, Huang Budo also wanted to take people around to the rear of the grassland cavalry, and then give the fleeing grassland generals a hard time.
But he could be sure that once his side made a move, those steppe barbarians would stop him at all costs.
"This time, you and Guo Li will go!"
The old Huainan King said confidently.
"The king has so many cavalry on the other side, so what's the use of the two of us going around?"
Huang Budo said with some annoyance.
"Wonderful!"
Before the old Huainan King could explain, Guo Li slapped loudly in a row.
"What's wonderful? Lao Guo, aren't you stupid? Just the two of us also want to break through the protection of the steppe cavalry and then kill the other party's generals? ”
Huang Budo couldn't help but be even more annoyed when he saw that Guo Li was also applauding inexplicably.
"You bastard, who said that we must break through the other party's protection to kill the other party's generals?"
Guo Li looked at Huang Budo with a smile on his face and said.
"What do you mean?"
Suddenly, something suddenly appeared in Huang Budo's mind.
"That's right, it's thunder! As long as we see the opportunity to throw this thunderbolt into the crowd of those steppe cavalry, even if they surround that damned steppe general into an iron bucket, it won't help. ”
Guo Li immediately said excitedly.
"That's right! Hahaha, good idea, let's do it! ”
Without further ado, Huang Budo immediately mounted his war horse and rushed towards the left side of the grassland cavalry with Guo Li.
Since there were only two of them, and most of the grassland cavalry were resisting the attack of the city guard camp and the Huainan Wang's personal guard at this time, they did not have time to send people to stop Huang Budo and Guo Li.
Even some steppe cavalry thought that these two people were afraid of death, and now they are running away.
So Huang Budo and Guo Li crossed the ranks of the steppe cavalry all the way unimpeded to their left rear.
"I'm going to blow that damn steppe barbarian to minced meat this time."
After rushing to the rear of the grassland cavalry, Huang Budo and Guo Li immediately jumped off their horses, and then walked towards the ranks of the grassland cavalry.
And the reason why they don't ride horses anymore is that they don't want to attract too much attention.
After all, when they wanted to come, this high-status steppe general must have panicked now.
If he found out about the two of them, he would probably run away immediately.
In this way, their plans will fall short.
"We only have this one thunderbolt left, which means that we only have one chance to kill the other party, you must see it before you shoot!"
Guo Li saw that Huang Budo looked full of confidence, and he couldn't help but remind.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely send that damn steppe barbarian to Hades."
Huang Budo said coldly as he looked at the grassland cavalry not far away.
"Where are they, steppe barbarians, qualified to go to see Hades, they only deserve to see the beast they believe in."
It is really a little incomprehensible for the grassland people to believe in the so-called wolf king god Guo Li.
He really couldn't accept a man believing in a brute.
Soon the two of them quietly touched the rear of the steppe cavalry.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the steppe barbarians start shouting.
At the same time, they also saw a commotion among these grassland barbarians, and then they immediately separated from the middle, and a team of twenty or thirty people appeared in the field of vision of Huang Budo and Guo Li.
"It seems that this damn steppe barbarian is also a greedy master who is afraid of death."
Seeing this, Huang Budo couldn't help but smile disdainfully.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, we're ready to do it!"
Guo Li hadn't taken his eyes off the team since he discovered them.
He soon discovered that the steppe barbarians were consciously or unconsciously surrounding one of the men with a headdress that clearly distinguished him from the other cavalry.
"That's it!"
Immediately, Guo Li identified this grassland general who was protected by a kind of grassland cavalry.
"This guy escaped quite quickly, but it's a pity that your Grandpa Huang has been waiting for you for a long time."
As he spoke, Huang Budo took out the thunder and fire fold from his arms.
Then, as soon as he bit the seal of the fire breaker, he blew a little, and ignited the fuse of the thunder.
"Lao Guo, you can take a look!"
After speaking, Huang Budo saw that the thunder in his hand had been ignited, and he threw it towards the grassland general that Guo Li had just pointed out.
With the graceful arc drawn by the thunder in the air, the thunder was impartial and happened to fall into the arms of the grassland general.
And the steppe general was instantly stunned in the face of this sudden iron bump.
Even his first reaction was not to throw this sudden thunderbolt out, but to think about what this thing was.
But when he heard the "clang" of the fuse, he immediately understood what it was.
Apparently he was slow to react, though.
With a "boom" explosion, the thunder exploded immediately.
In an instant, a burst of flames rose in the forest, and then a huge impact flew in all directions with the fragments from the explosion of thunder.
In an instant, all the steppe cavalry within a radius of ten meters centered on the explosion were all knocked to the ground by the shock wave.
Some people who were close to the epicenter of the explosion suddenly felt a tingling sensation in their bodies after they fell.
Immediately, they were horrified to find that their bodies began to appear with bloody holes.
Red blood continued to bubble out of these blood holes.
The steppe cavalry, which was a little further away from the center of the explosion, immediately felt the world spinning in front of their eyes as soon as they were knocked to the ground by the shock wave.
They wanted to stand up on the ground, but they couldn't.
Huang Budo and Guo Li, who were the initiators, were also shocked to the ground by the shock wave of the thunder.
"Did you kill that damn steppe barbarian?"
Huang Budo asked as soon as he got up.
Guo Li, who was standing a little behind, had already seen the situation clearly at the time of the explosion.
"Don't worry! That damn steppe barbarian has now been completely reduced to ashes. ”
Guo Li also said excitedly.
"Damn it, they just snuck up on us!"
Because Huang Budo was too excited just now, his voice inevitably became louder, and this immediately attracted the attention of those steppe cavalrymen who were not killed.
"Kill them and avenge your brothers!"
With the shouts of the grassland cavalry, the surrounding grassland cavalry rushed towards Huang Budo and Guo Li.
Looking at Wuyang, the grassland cavalry Huang Budo and Guo Li, who were rushing towards him, immediately felt that their scalps were numb.
Because these steppe cavalry in front of him must have fifty or sixty people, to say the least.
"Run!"
Immediately, Huang Budo shouted, dragged Guo Li and began to gallop in the direction of his war horse.
"Stop riding, it's full of charred trees, and it's easy for horses to hit trees!"
Guo Li found out the direction in which he and Huang Budo were running, and he immediately understood that Huang Budo was planning to escape on horseback.
So he quickly reminded.
"So what do we do? Now, if we run to the king, we will be torn to pieces by the angry steppe barbarians. ”
Huang Budo looked back at the grassland cavalry trail that was chasing him as he ran.
"Let's run in the direction of Jinling City!"
Guo Li thought about it for a while and made up his mind.
"What should I do if I run to Jinling City?"
Huang Budo couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"We have successfully blown up the opponent's generals just now, and this is a good opportunity for the king to destroy these steppe barbarians, so now the king must be commanding everyone to fight!"
Since they succeeded in killing the general of this steppe cavalry, Guo Li firmly believed that the old Huainan King and they must have taken the opportunity to launch a general attack on the steppe cavalry.
"Alright! Then we will flee first, and the king is on horseback, and it is estimated that they will catch up in a moment. ”
Huang Budo thought about it and felt that Guo Li's analysis made sense.
So they continued to grit their teeth and run all the way in the direction of Jinling City.
"Humph! Sure enough, I guessed that these damn Dayu people would do these ghost tricks. ”
In the crowd of grassland cavalry, Mu Hua Li Falcon said with a sneer.
