Cavalry is not suitable for attacking cities, and it is not the same with a dominant knight, the magicians who rebel against the Sixteenth Legion can't stop the magicians and Shaodiantai of the Tenth Legion.

A dominant knight is easy to deal with, and Shaodiantai, who comes with the might of the army, is the master of the battlefield.

The Tenth Legion played the strength of the elite legion, and the rebels could only cover the retreat of the Sixteenth Legion when a fire-based forbidden law arrived.

You can no longer attack the Demon Suppression Pass unscrupulously, the attacking troops must first prevent cavalry raids, and you don't dare to wander in the wilderness without 200,000 troops acting together.

On the other side, Liu Yi led 50,000 soldiers and horses to rush overnight, and suddenly appeared outside Huanggang City before dawn, and did not greet one, carrying a simple cloud ladder to attack the city directly.

At this time, the baggage troops escorted by Dou Dou Meal woke up and prepared to set off from the camp.

It turned out that Ao Yu caught up with the Fifth Army Corps, and Liu Yi learned that there was a great martial artist to help, so he immediately ordered to rush to Huanggang City as quickly as possible, and attack while the enemy was unprepared.

This will make it harder for the soldiers, but it will reduce the preparation time of the enemy army, especially if the enemy army does not block the city gates.

The best way to do this was to quickly break through the gates and concentrate on rushing into the city to fight street battles.

Liu Yi's troops are more than the defenders, and he is not afraid of street battles, and there are great martial artists in the key door, which can reduce a lot of battle losses.

Ao Yu flew around first, and came back to tell Liu Yi: "You send people to besiege the four gates, concentrate magicians to storm the south gate, secretly transfer 20,000 people to ambush outside the east gate, and wait for me to enter the city after opening the east gate." ”

"Okay, it's all up to you!"

Liu Yixinxi: This strong reinforcement even gave me a siege plan.

He didn't doubt Ao Yu's level, following Ding Kui for so many years, that bit of tactical vision would not be lacking, attracting the defenders' magicians to the south gate, how could the east gate have the strength to defend against a great martial artist.

However, is Ao Yu just a great martial artist?

The defenders of Huanggang City were a little desperate, and found that the enemy was attacking early in the morning, and the whole city was surrounded when it was dark, and the signal for urgent help was issued, but they received an order to hold on for two days.

As soon as his determination to fight to the death was established, he found that twice the number of mages on his side were flying in, so he had to concentrate his elite to the south gate to resist hard.

When Ao Yu flew up to the East Gate Tower stealthily, he found that there was only one captain directing the battle above, and there were no personal soldiers around him, only two heralds.

He only used three punches to defeat the Dongmen command system, and the opponent was too weak.

The friendly forces outside the city were clearing the obstacles and suppressing the city wall from a distance, and the defenders of the east gate braved the rain of arrows to organize a counterattack.

There was a squadron guarding the city gate here, and was moving debris into the city gate hole, Ao Yu pounced, his hands pulled continuously, and tore several defenders alive.

Such a terrifying picture frightened the remaining officers and soldiers.

The officer who looked like a squadron leader shouted that the enemy was attacking, but his feet strode into the city.

The others did the same, and the birds and beasts scattered with a bang.

"A rabble. Ao Yu spat contemptuously, and then began to clean up the debris in the city gate hole.

The process of clearing the clutter and opening the gates was much more laborious than the previous battle, and he regretted not staying on the walls to chase away the defenders.

The soldiers of the Fifth Legion watched in amazement as the east gate opened, and found Ao Yu behind the door.

"The door is open!

The two divisions that were lying in ambush were the first to react, and they did not pay attention to the formation and queue, from the division commander to the soldiers, they all ran wildly with their legs open, scrambling to the east gate.

The defenders of the city were inexplicable, and there was no fierce fighting, so why was the east gate opened?

As more and more people rushed into the east gate, Ao Yu slowly disappeared in one corner.

"What? The East Gate was lost?" the Huanggang City guard was shocked.

The battle at the south gate had just entered a critical moment, and the only thirty or so magicians in the defenders flew to the ground to fight, relying on the infantry to barely block the attack of the opposing magicians.

This is the advantage of the defending side, the walls are covered by troops, and the attackers have to find a way to climb the walls first.

"How can this be?" the guard immediately panicked, and immediately asked people to find the East Gate deserter.

After a while, the soldiers brought a soldier with a bloody face, and the guard quickly asked, "What is the situation at the East Gate? Who did it?"

The soldier replied coldly, "I did it." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a blue light flashed from the front of the guard to the back, and a piercing hole appeared in his chest......

Liu Yi jumped off the platform, stepped on the war horse, and ran into the south gate, and Ao Yu flew down to greet him.

"Lord Liu, Ding Kui said that all the warehouses are under my control. Ao Yu did not wait for the Fifth Army to completely capture Huanggang City.

"Ah, no problem! Someone, order the 50th Division to occupy and block the storehouse area, and obey the dispatch of the special envoy Ding Yu before the commander has another military order. Liu Yi didn't care.

The treasury of Huanggang City is very important, it is full of supplies for the front line, and it is also the baggage that Ding Kui needs to attack Baise County, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

Because the guard died in a bit of a hurry, he didn't have time to order the burning of the warehouse materials, and there were still people resisting when Ao Yu rushed to the warehouse area.

He didn't wait for the 50th Division to come over, and personally took action to expel the enemy, the greed for money outweighed the murderous intention, and he didn't chase after all the people he was scared away.

The 50th Division rushed over and did only one thing, to surround the storehouse area and set up a cordon, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, of course, this did not include the special envoy Ding Yu.

Ding Kui received the news of the capture of Huanggang City as soon as possible, and immediately ordered: "The Ninth Army Corps will advance at full speed, catch up with the rear guard of the Fifth Army Corps, throw away all the baggage, and run to Huanggang City lightly." ”

There is no need to mobilize at all, and the order will be passed down to the Ninth Legion, and the speed will definitely make the Fifth Legion feel ashamed.

Dou Doujie led more than 20,000 people as a rearguard, and there was enough manpower to accept the baggage of friendly troops, but he walked more slowly in this way and became the rearguard of the whole army.

She can see it: "Anyway, you can't fight the main force, and you can contribute your own strength to defeat the enemy." ”

......

"Ding Kui has captured Huanggang City, one thing can be certain, he commanded the Fifth and Ninth Army Corps, and possibly the Eighth Army Corps, which has already reached the rear of our army. ”

He summoned his men to discuss countermeasures, and the current situation was very serious for them.

Cheng Jie suggested: "Hurry back to help, recapture Huanggang City, and fight Na Ding Kui head-on." ”

Pan Hong shook his head and said, "How do you know that the enemy army will not set up an ambush on the way back from our army, maybe Ding Kui is waiting for us to automatically get into the trap." ”

"Then you say, where will he set up an ambush?" Cheng Jie was not convinced.

"I'm not Ding Kui's subordinate, how do I know ......?"

"Don't make any noise, Yang Shuai, I want to hear your opinion. "Luo Kui has a headache, and at this time, he only thinks that Yangfeng is more reliable.

Yang Feng came to the sand table and paced around a few times before looking at Yang Kui.

"Lord Zhen, my subordinates have three strategies, upper, middle, and lower, I don't know which one you want to hear?"

This top staff officer of the Shaodian Kingdom thought of three countermeasures in a while, which made people have to be convinced, and no one thought that his countermeasures were trying to make up the numbers.

"Let's talk about what to do first. "He used to think about the worst-case scenario first.

"Concentrate all our troops, use the fastest time to defeat the Demon Suppression Pass, and then divide a team of men and horses to attack Tianmen Town, forcing Ding Kui to lead the army back to help; ”

Yang Feng demonstrated on the sand table, but he did not strictly follow the deduction requirements.

"Let's not talk about whether we can capture the Demon Suppression Pass, the troops commanded by Ding Kui may not come back to help, it is too risky to do so, and some factors are beyond our control. Yang Kui did not approve of this "next policy".

"If the risk is small, it is not a good idea. Yang Feng could guess Luo Kui's reaction.

He also said: "The central strategy is to immediately turn south and attack the enemy's southern defense line with all their might, cooperate with friendly forces to cross this defense line as soon as possible, quickly advance eastward, cut off the support south of the Xijiang River to Zhenwangzhou, and at the same time get rid of the dilemma of insufficient logistics and materials." ”

This sand table demonstration was much smoother than the last one, and the generals next to him couldn't find anything wrong.

"At this time, it seems safe to go south, but this is based on the premise that the enemy army in the south has not received reinforcements, and Ding Kui can join forces with the 1st and 10th Army Corps to follow our army and find an opportunity to sneak attack our army. It is inappropriate to count on the ineffective rescue of the enemy army. He still shook his head.

"If you want to be safe, the only way is to retreat to the base camp of the original enemy's northern defense line, divide the troops into two ways to encircle Huanggang City, and quickly advance to the base camp of Baise County after recapturing it. If the base camp is lost, our troops will take a detour back to the vicinity of the state border, or return directly to Haishan State. Yang Feng said vaguely about the great retreat.

This time he did not demonstrate on the sand table, and no one present did not understand what he meant.

He was silent, neither for nor against.

"Doesn't returning to Haishan Prefecture mean that our army has been defeated, and all the results won in the past few years have been handed over to the enemy?"

The best strategy is to suggest that Yang Kui withdraw his troops, and it is to retreat in great strides, it is best to withdraw to Haishan Prefecture, and not seek a decisive battle with Ding Kui at all, it is safe and safe, but it has reached the level of fear of the enemy and fear of death.

Yang Feng glanced at Pan Hong, but when he saw Pan Hong's blank appearance, he sighed secretly in his heart, so he had to say: "Now it is completely different from a few years ago, the situation on the battlefield will change every moment, not to mention that the restoration of the Shaodian seal is a big change in the country. ”

He rearranged the sand table according to the relatively accurate ratio of troops.

"First of all, Ding Kui was reused by the Commander's Office, and the 8th, 12th, 19th, 20th, and 21st Army Corps, which were originally under his command, plus the Protector Army, would all join the Wangzhou and Zhongwangzhou theaters and be enemies of our army. ”

"This army of more than 500,000 people has just finished many major battles, and has rich combat experience and strong combat effectiveness, which can be compared with any army of our army. Don't forget the Eighth Legion, which defeated the Tenth Legion not long ago, who among you can match it?"

"At present, the three elite legions of the Shaodian Kingdom are around us, and one of them has penetrated deep into our rear, is this the enemy that our army faced a few years ago?"

"May I ask if the base camp of Baise County can withstand Ding Kui's attack? Ding Kui's master and servant plus the masters of the Ninth Legion, there are at least four sixth-level combat power, and there are two legions of magicians, and no one legion can hold the base camp!"
