Chapter 555: Precarious

Since ancient times, the only way to defeat the enemy on the battlefield is to surprise and attack the unprepared.

As the so-called strange is right, and the hostility is strange, then I am attacking it.

Although the cavalry of the steppe tribe may not be able to refine such a sentence.

But they are well aware of the reasoning.

After all, their steppe tribe is a tribe that has lived on horseback since childhood, and they have been fighting all their lives.

Therefore, when the vassal kings in the Dayu coalition army and their subordinate vassal princes' guards pursued the two thousand steppe cavalry, suddenly these steppe cavalry made a sharp turn again, and then they rushed towards these vassal kings' guards without hesitation.

Although the distance between the two sides was not very large, and the speed of the steppe cavalry charge was not very fast, because these steppe cavalry suddenly turned around, which directly caused those vassal princes and guards to be caught off guard.

Therefore, when the steppe cavalry rushed into the crowd of the vassal king's guards, these vassal king's guards began to collapse and scatter in an instant.

Although the feudal prince's guards desperately scattered and fled, the steppe cavalry did not give up the attack.

These two thousand steppe cavalry did not have the slightest fear in the face of the vassal prince's guards, who were several times their size.

"Your Majesty, let's withdraw now!"

Looking at the steppe cavalry riding war horses, frantically slashing and slashing the frightened feudal princes' guards, Ma Zheng said nervously.

"No, if we retreat now, then we will become the target of public criticism, and we will be crucified on the pillar of shame of the Dayu Dynasty at that time."

The old Jin King gritted his teeth and said.

"But now it's too dangerous here, and a bad steppe cavalry will kill it."

Ma Zheng also knew that if he escaped now, he would become a scapegoat for defeat in the future, but compared to his own life, it didn't matter if he took the blame afterwards.

"Now let's go to Mu Xiayan and them immediately, and let their Qingjia Army divide a part of their forces to exterminate these damn grassland barbarians."

After the old Jin King finished speaking, he took the lead in riding a war horse and running towards the battle formation of the Qingjia Army.

Behind him was a scream.

Soon the old Jin King came to the war of the Qingjia Army, and then he truthfully reported the sneak attack of the grassland cavalry in the rear to Mu Xiayan.

Mu Shayan couldn't help but be furious when he heard this.

"What do you say? You lost the line of defense in the rear? ”

"Those steppe barbarians suddenly killed us, we were caught off guard, my Houma Iron Cavalry and King Jin's personal guards have been wiped out, if I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have been crushed by them under the horse's hooves."

The old Jin King said aggrievedly at this time.

But Mu Xiayan was not deceived by his grievances.

"Humph! Mudify what kind of person you are, we all know that you don't have to be cowardly here. ”

"Mu Xiayan, what do you mean by that? My people have been wiped out, do you think I did it on purpose? ”

The old Jin King couldn't help but lose his temper when he heard this, and he asked angrily.

"Humph! Since your people can't stand it, why don't you notify others to help as soon as possible? ”

Mu Xiayan continued to question angrily.

This time, the old Jin King was even more aggrieved.

"I did ask for help from others at the first time, but those steppe barbarians were so fast that my people couldn't resist it at all!"

The old Jin King explained.

"Fart, you can't resist just two thousand grassland barbarians?"

Mu Xiayan didn't believe the words of the old Jin King at all.

In his opinion, the old Jin king, with this Hou horse iron cavalry and the Jin king's personal guard, should easily resist two thousand grassland cavalry.

Even if it resists, it should buy enough time for the reinforcements behind.

"Mu Xia said that I can swear by the heavens, this time my people have really done their best, but these damn steppe barbarians are too strong, and my people really can't resist it."

The old Jin King said with a sincere face.

"I'll deal with you about this later!"

Mu Xiayan tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and then ordered the Qingjia Army to transfer some people to assist the vassal princes' guards.

But when he had just drawn out a part of the Qingjia Army, Mu Hua Li Falcon on the opposite side showed a smug smile on his face.

"It seems that those two thousand sons have lived up to expectations and have entered the army of the Dayu people."

"So we can move on to the next step?"

A steppe general beside him asked excitedly.

"Let the corpse burst light charge with all his strength again, and at the same time let Wan Qi Yuele's attack slow down a little."

Mu Huali Falcon shook his head and said.

When the grassland general heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy.

"The last general will go and give the order."

Immediately, the steppe general rode his war horse and ran in the direction where the corpse burst light was.

After a while, the Qingjia soldiers suddenly found that these steppe cavalry opposite them were charging frantically towards their own battle line as if they were crazy.

For a while, they were pressed by each other and could only keep retreating.

"Lord Teramasa, it seems that these guys have seen that our strength has suddenly decreased, and they want to take this opportunity to break through our defenses!"

A general of the Qingjia Army looked at those steppe cavalry fearlessly attacking his battle formation, and he said with a worried expression.

"These grassland barbarians are really sensitive to the grasp of the battle situation!"

Mu Xiayan couldn't help but admire.

"It's all to blame on the damn guy of the old Jin King, if he hadn't lost the rear front, we wouldn't have to divide our troops to help."

Although this Qingjia army general knew that the old Jin King was not far from them.

But he still spoke directly.

"It's useless to talk about this now, we must resist the opponent's attack now, the number of grassland barbarians on our side is the largest, once we lose here, then the entire battle formation will completely collapse."

Mu Xiayan also secretly hated the incompetence of the old Jin King at this time.

At this time, he even had the heart to kill the old Jin King.

It's just that now is not the time for him to make a move on the old Jin King.

"You immediately send someone to the Tiger Guard and Yaowu Army to see how their battle is doing, and if possible, let them send a group of people over."

"But Lord Teramasa, I'm afraid they won't agree to send troops over for reinforcements."

The general of the Qingjia Army was well aware of the contradictions between them and the Tiger Guards and the Yaowu Army.

At this time, it may not be easy to get them to send people over to help.

"It doesn't matter, you just tell them that if our side is lost, everyone will be doomed."

Mu Xiayan is not worried about this.

In his opinion, both Shi Wensheng and Zheng Yu are smart people.

They must know what it means to have cold lips and cold teeth.

Sure enough, not long after the famous Qingjia army general left, he came with a thousand Tiger Guard soldiers and a thousand Yaowu soldiers to reinforce him.

"These are ripe times!"

Although the sky was dark in the distance, Mu Hua Li Falcon could still see the general movement of the Dayu coalition army in the distance by the moonlight.

"Wise Shaman, it's time for us to end this fight."

The steppe general who was in charge of delivering the message nodded and said.

Just now, he ran around from the line where Corpse Tuguang and Wan Qi Yuele were located, and found that although their steppe cavalry had killed a lot of Dayu people, they had also lost a lot of sons.

He estimated that their steppe cavalry had lost at least 3,000 men so far.

This is already a huge loss for an army of 20,000 people.

If they can't end the battle quickly, I'm afraid their losses will increase dramatically.

The reason for this is that over time, the horsepower of their horses will slowly deplete, and as a result, the combat effectiveness of their cavalry will inevitably decline rapidly.

"Yes! It's time to finish! ”

Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at the bright moonlight in the sky and couldn't help but sigh and said.

Then the steppe general once again mounted his horse and galloped forward.

This time, he didn't return to Muhua Li Falcon's side after delivering the order.

Because by this time he had also joined the charging cavalry.

"My lord, we sent a thousand people to support the Qingjia Army, which always makes me feel inappropriate."

Although the attack faced by the Tiger Guards suddenly weakened a lot at this time, Hu Er, as the general of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, still felt uneasy in his heart.

He always felt that there was a kind of crisis hanging over him.

"What's wrong?"

Shi Wensheng then asked.

In fact, Shi Wensheng, as a civil minister, will command the army to fight.

But he also knew that he had always lacked some of the generals' perception of danger in battle.

Therefore, during this operation, he asked the prince to send him some more experienced generals.

And this Tiger Er is one of the best.

"I always feel that it is abnormal for the steppe cavalry to suddenly weaken our attack!"

Tiger Er groaned for a moment and then said.

"Could it be that these steppe barbarians have exhausted their strength, and they no longer have the strength to launch fierce attacks on us?"

Shi Wensheng frowned and asked.

"It's possible, but it's not very likely."

Tiger Er shook his head and continued.

"According to what I know about the steppe cavalry, it is impossible for them to lose their strength so quickly, after all, they seemed to attack fiercely just now, but the speed of their war horses is obviously not fast!"

"So, these steppe barbarians did it on purpose?"

Shi Wensheng still believes in Hu Er's judgment.

"Yes, I feel like we've probably fallen for each other's tricks!"

Hu Er thought for a moment, and then still said his guess.

"Tell all the brothers to be on guard immediately!"

Shi Wensheng thought for a moment and then immediately commanded.

Immediately, the Tiger Guards lifted their spirits, and then lined up and waited for battle.

Although Shi Wensheng's side reacted immediately, Zheng Yu's side did not realize the danger.

At this time, he was still rejoicing with his subordinates, but fortunately, the attack of these steppe barbarians had suddenly weakened.

"Zheng Shuai, it seems that this grassland barbarian suffered on the side of the Qingjia Army, and then they found that the number of the Qingjia Army has decreased, so now the grassland barbarians on our side have been transferred."

The general surnamed Lu in the Yaowu Army said with a happy face.

"Zheng Shuai, I think this matter may not be so simple, we still have to be careful!"

The general, surnamed Wei, had a different opinion.

"Hey! Lao Wei, don't you always worry about the sky! The current situation is obviously as Lao Lu said. ”

Zheng Yu disagreed.

In his opinion, if the steppe barbarians really have any conspiracy, the steppe cavalry on the opposite side should now increase the intensity of the attack or retreat directly.

But now the number of these steppe cavalry they faced did not decrease.

It's just that the intensity of their attack has decreased a lot.

Therefore, Zheng Yu judged that this must be because the grassland cavalry had begun to slowly lose their strength.

So as long as they persist any longer, these damn steppe barbarians will probably lose their strength completely.

Then will be the time for them to blow the horn of the counteroffensive.

Just when Zheng Yu had already begun to fantasize in his heart, when they rode their horses to chase and kill the grassland cavalry, the general surnamed Wei beside him suddenly screamed.

"Not good!"

And Zheng Yu's beautiful fantasy was shattered accordingly.

"What's the situation with Lao Wei?"

Then he asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Zheng Shuai, look over there!"

As he spoke, Lao Wei pointed to the left side of the steppe cavalry.

Zheng Yu looked at it, and all the hairs on his body stood up at once.

Although it was night, Zheng Yu could see the situation clearly at once in the moonlight.

At this time, he saw the slightest dense grassland cavalry.

These steppe cavalry all came from the direction where the Qingjia Army was located.

Zheng Yu roughly estimated that the number of people was at least about 4,000.

There were so many steppe cavalry compared to the steppe cavalry they were facing now.

"Zheng Shuai, are they preparing to break through from our side?"

The general surnamed Lu was already speaking with a trilling voice at this time.

The ambition that had been so complacent just now disappeared without a trace.

Now he was trembling slightly.

"Needless to say! Zheng Shuai, so many grassland cavalry, we can't stop it at all! ”

The general surnamed Wei was also very anxious at this time.

"Send someone to seek reinforcements from the Qingjia Army immediately!"

Although Zheng Yu was also extremely frightened at this time, as the commander of the Yaowu Army, his psychological quality was quite passable.

He wasn't as frightened as everyone else.

"You don't fucking go yet!"

After Zheng Yu finished giving the order, he found that none of his people reacted, so he couldn't help but kick towards a herald beside him.

And after the herald was kicked by Zheng Yu, he recovered from the shock.

Immediately, he confessed his guilt, and then ran in the direction of the Qingjia Army in a rage.

"Zheng Shuai, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Looking at the suddenly extra four thousand grassland cavalry, they were like the wind slanting towards him, and the general surnamed Wei was now in despair.

Although the distance between them and the Qingjia Army was very close, he knew that it would take time for the Qingjia Army to send four or five thousand people to assist in the defense in a short period of time.

But these steppe cavalry are clearly not going to give them enough time.

"So we'll shrink the formation right away."

Zheng Yu then frowned and said.

"But once we shrink the formation, the Qingjia Army and the vassal king's guards on both sides will inevitably be attacked."

The general surnamed Wei reminded him.

"When is it, as long as we can delay for a moment now, and wait for the Qingjia Army to come to reinforce us, we can still beat these grassland barbarians back."

Zheng Yu said with a serious face.

"In that case, without further ado, I'm going to order the formation to be contracted."

When the general surnamed Lu heard this, he immediately rolled and climbed on his horse, and then quickly ran towards the front line of the Yaowu Army.
