Chapter 560: Marching Formation
With Mu Wenpei's order, all the officers and men of the Qingjia Army immediately changed their previous defensive formation.
"Not good! These people are still ready to escape! β
The corpse who was in charge of attacking the Qingjia Army's side saw that the Qingjia Army suddenly made a move, and he immediately understood their intentions.
"Hmph, these stupid people are so naΓ―ve!"
A Xianbei general beside the corpse burst light snorted coldly.
"These guys are not in the same position as the Khan and Fei Doujin, they attack the Dayu people, they now have the army led by the Khan on the left and the army led by Fei Doujin on the right, and behind them are their own people who are in a mess, where else can they break through!"
In the face of a general's statement, the corpse suddenly suddenly agreed.
It's just that he also knows that the trapped beasts are still fighting, let alone these fierce Qingjia troops!
"Don't take it lightly, although these Dayu people have no way out, but once they really plan to give us a fish to break the net before they die, then we will also suffer a lot of losses."
Seeing that all of his subordinates didn't care about the breakthrough of the Great Yu People, he immediately reminded him.
And the Xianbei generals didn't dare to say anything more when they heard this.
After all, the reason why their Xianbei clan can now divide their troops into two places to attack the Dayu coalition army is because their strength is stronger than that of the Tugu tribe.
But once they lost too much and lost a lot of troops, they no longer had enough advantage when they went to plunder Jinling City.
"So what do we do now?"
The other Xianbei generals then asked.
"Now order all the sons to stop attacking, and when these Dayu men charge us, draw out a part of their forces and attack them from both sides."
As the commander of the Xianbei clan, he is still very experienced in commanding operations.
He knew that in the face of the surprise attack of the Great Yu people, if he was tough with him, it would easily lead to heavy losses on his side.
And if you attack these breakthrough Dayu people from the flank, you can cut their formation in two, which can greatly reduce the impact on the front.
And after splitting the opponent's formation into two, it can also make the opponent fall into panic.
"Yes!"
When the Xianbei generals heard this, they beat their chests with one hand, and then commanded their cavalry to begin to retreat.
"Why did Wen Pei, these damn prairie barbarians, suddenly start retreating?"
Mu Xiayan rushed out not long under the leadership of Mu Wenpei, and he found that the steppe cavalry in front of them had suddenly begun to retreat.
"Lord Teramasa, don't rejoice too soon, if my expectations are correct, these steppe barbarians will first avoid our edge, and then they may send men to attack from our flanks."
After all, Mu Wenpei used to be stationed on the frontier for many years, and he fought with the steppe cavalry many times during this period, so he still knew a little about the fighting style of the steppe cavalry.
"In that case, are we going to pause the assault and then defend it?"
Mu Xia Yan immediately frowned when he heard this.
"We can't stop now, and if we stop, we're going to miss the chance to break out."
Mu Wenpei immediately shook his head and said.
He knew very well that the reason why the steppe cavalry was constantly retreating now was because their Qingjia army was charging forward without stopping.
And once they stopped to defend, the steppe cavalry would most likely take advantage of their unstable foothold to attack them.
You must know that the ability of the steppe cavalry to seize opportunities on the battlefield is not ordinarily strong.
Therefore, now they will continue to retreat only if they continue to press forward and put pressure on the steppe cavalry.
And as long as the steppe cavalry retreated some distance further, he was sure enough to lead the Qingjia army into the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu.
When the time comes, as long as they block the road, these steppe cavalry can only pay several times the sacrifice to be able to attack.
"But if we don't defend, the steppe cavalry will attack from both sides, and it is likely that we will be cut in two."
A general of the Qingjia Army reminded with some concern.
"Now we have to speed up to be able to attack the Ancestral Tomb of Emperor Yu before the steppe cavalry launches an attack on our flanks."
Mu Wenpei said with a serious face.
"But in this case, maybe we will lose more than half of our manpower, and even if we rush to the ancestral temple, we may not be able to have enough people to guard it!"
The general continued.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to delay their attack later."
Mu Wenpei didn't explain too much about the doubts of the Qingjia Army generals, he just said lightly.
And everyone immediately focused their eyes on Mu Xiayan.
Obviously, they wanted Mu Xiayan to stand up and persuade Mu Wenpei.
But Mu Xiayan turned a blind eye to the gaze of these people.
"Everything on the battlefield is under Wen Pei's command."
Although Mu Xiayan's sentence was very plain.
But the crowd still heard some dissatisfaction from these words.
Of course, this dissatisfaction is not directed at Mu Wenpei, but at them.
So they could only continue to ride their war horses and continue to charge in the direction of Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb.
At this time, Mu Hua Li Falcon, who was standing in the distance, also discovered the actions of the Qingjia Army.
At first, he didn't really care, because it seemed to him that it was just the struggle of the Dayu army before they died.
But after a moment, he suddenly frowned.
"Something is wrong, there is something wrong with the actions of these Dayu people."
Mu Hua Li Falcon muttered to himself.
It's a pity that he couldn't see what the problem was.
Therefore, he could only frown and observe the further actions of the Dayu army while secretly thinking in his heart that something was wrong.
Just as Mu Hua Li Falcon was thinking carefully, the corpse burst light arranged a detour, and the grassland cavalry on both sides of the road ready to raid had already crossed the front of the Qingjia Army and was ready to attack at any time.
But at this moment, the charging Dayu army that they suddenly discovered suddenly changed from the original sharp arrow formation to a single formation.
"It seems that the man who commands this Dayu army is a master, and he has already seen our intentions."
Seeing that the Dayu army had changed its formation, he immediately said.
It's just that there was not the slightest surprise or discouragement in his tone, obviously he had already anticipated the actions of the Great Yu people.
"Tell all the sons to charge the Dayu people now."
Corpse Burst Light pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and then ordered the surrounding generals.
The steppe cavalry, who were still retreating, immediately stopped retreating, and then they drew their scimitars one after another, and then slammed their horses' bellies and roared towards the Qingjia army.
"Oh no, the steppe barbarians in front of us are rushing over!"
Some of the generals who rushed to the forefront of the Qingjia Army discovered the movement of the steppe cavalry at the first time, so they immediately screamed.
"Don't panic! Now immediately let the sons and daughters scatter around me, and then pretend to go to reinforce both sides. β
Mu Wenpei said very calmly.
And although those Qingjia Army generals didn't understand what Mu Wenpei wanted to do, but now that the situation was urgent, they could only follow his orders.
So, in the surprised eyes of the steppe cavalry, the Qingjia army suddenly split into two from the middle and rushed towards the steppe cavalry on both sides.
"General, these damned Dayu people seem to want to kill the cavalry on both sides of us first!"
A general of the Xianbei clan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this.
You must know that although the corpse burst light just now dispatched some people to prepare to attack the Dayu people from both sides, there were not many people he transferred.
After all, he needed to leave most of the steppe cavalry behind to stop the Dayu people from breaking through his defenses.
But what he didn't expect was that the Dayu people suddenly changed the direction of the attack and attacked directly on both sides, which was obviously that they were preparing to break through from both sides in two ways.
And the reason why they want to divide the troops into two ways instead of one road alone has already thought of the reason.
In his mind, this was the cunning place of the Dayu people, and they planned to divide their steppe cavalry into two ways.
This will take the opportunity to weaken their combat power, which in turn will make it easier for them to break through.
Of course, the benefits of splitting the army into two ways are actually more than that.
Another advantage of splitting the Dayu men into two ways was that they made it impossible for the steppe cavalry to guess their actual escape route.
"General, what should we do now?"
The generals of the Xianbei clan obviously didn't expect the Dayu people to make such a move.
They were directly caught off guard by the tactics of the Qingjia soldiers in two ways.
"What else can I do! Immediately divide the sons into two groups, and immediately disperse to support the two sides. β
Seeing this, the corpse suddenly commanded loudly.
Soon, the Qingjia Army in front of the Qingjia Army was divided into two teams, and they rode their horses and moved towards both sides of the Qingjia Army.
Seeing this, Mu Huali Falcon, who was standing behind, couldn't help frowning even tighter.
At this time, an ominous premonition completely enveloped him.
At the same time, on the side of the Qingjia Army, Mu Wenpei couldn't help but smile smugly when he saw the actions of the grassland cavalry.
"Wen Pei is a good means!"
Seeing that the steppe cavalry had begun to rush to both sides in two ways, Mu Xia couldn't help but praise.
At this time, he had thoroughly understood Mu Wenpei's tactics.
In fact, from the very beginning, Mu Wenpei had already expected that the steppe cavalry might adopt the tactics of attacking from both sides.
Therefore, he used the Sharp Arrow Formation at the beginning, which gave the steppe cavalry a feeling that I was about to break through from the middle.
Of course, the steppe people are not stupid, and they will definitely be suspicious when they see the arrows.
Moreover, the grassland people also know that behind them is the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is impossible to break through from this direction.
So he must have thought that the Dayu people would break through from both sides.
Then, when the steppe cavalry attacked from both sides, Mu Wenpei suddenly ordered the Qingjia army to change to a one-line formation, so that in the eyes of the steppe people, they were ready to break through from both sides.
Because the Qingjia army lined up in a line only needs to turn one direction, and then change the formation slightly, it will become a new sharp arrow formation.
And this arrow formation can be to the left or right.
But apparently the steppe people were not stupid, and as soon as they found out about it, they immediately ordered the cavalry in front of them to charge.
In this way, they could cut the Qingjia army in two sections from the middle.
So Mu Wenpei once again ordered the Qingjia Army to separate directly from the middle, and then pretended to go to the two sides to support.
This gives the steppe people the illusion that I will break through from the left and right.
And in order to ensure that the Qingjia Army could not break through from both sides, the steppe cavalry had to be divided into two, and then went to the two sides to support.
"Master Temple is falsely praised!"
Mu Wenpei heard Mu Xiayan's praise and bowed slightly.
At this time, Mu Hua Li Falcon, who was standing in the distance and saw the battlefield clearly, suddenly woke up.
"It's not good, the corpse is fooled!"
He yelled, then grabbed one of the steppe horsemen beside him and shouted.
"Immediately let the corpse burst light collect the troops and return to defense!"
The steppe cavalry was suddenly stunned by the crazy state of the Muhua Li Falcon.
At this time, the anxious Mu Huali Falcon grabbed the stunned steppe cavalry and slapped him on the head.
The pain instantly brought the steppe cavalry to its senses.
"Don't go yet!"
With a loud roar, the cavalryman immediately turned on his horse and galloped away in the direction of the corpse light.
After the steppe cavalry galloped away, Mu Hua Li Falcon finally couldn't hold on.
He suddenly felt a thump in his chest, then his throat was sweet, and then a mouthful of purple-black bloody phlegm came out of his mouth.
"Shaman, are you alright?"
The others around stepped forward to care.
"I'm afraid it's too late!"
Mu Huali wiped his mouth, but turned a blind eye to the concern of the people around him.
He just muttered to himself.
And the battle situation in the distance was indeed as expected, and it was too late for the steppe cavalry to return to defense.
Just when the corpse suddenly divided the cavalry soldiers in front of the Qingjia Army into two ways to reinforce on both sides, Mu Wenpei gave the Qingjia Army an order again.
"All the Qingjia troops are moving closer to the middle, and at the same time rushing forward as fast as they can."
When this order was conveyed to the hands of the generals of the Qingjia Army, these guys realized how subtle Mu Wenpei's previous order was.
By this time, the steppe cavalry had completely cleared the road ahead of them.
And because they were cavalry, they had already rushed out a long distance in this short moment.
So now, even if you want to turn around and run back to defend, it's too late.
So, in the stunned gaze of the corpse suddenly, the Qingjia Army, which had been divided into two, suddenly merged into one again.
And the Qingjia army on both sides of the original also quickly shrank towards the middle.
Although many of the Qingjia troops near the sides were killed by the grassland cavalry, most of the Qingjia troops still escaped the impact of the cavalry.
"Brothers, rush me!"
Then Mu Wenpei let out a loud roar, and then rode his war horse and galloped away in the direction of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum.
The Qingjia army behind him also immediately sped up and ran wildly with Mu Wenpei and the others.
"It's really too late!"
At this time, Mu Huali Falcon, who was standing at the gate of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum, angrily smashed himself on his war horse when he saw this.
The war horse under his crotch was in pain, and immediately neighed, and was about to throw the Muhua Li Falcon down.
However, Mu Hua Li Falcon hugged the neck of the war horse, which stabilized his figure.
"Shaman, let's get out of here! These adults are about to rush over. β
Several of the steppe cavalrymen who were in charge of protecting the Muhua Li Falcon immediately reminded.
Mu Hua Li Falcon could only sigh helplessly, then flicked the reins of the horse, and fled towards the left side of Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb.
