2317 Wind Rise (5)
The Imperial Army sent troops to the border, the most incredible may be the Dongting people, accustomed to seeing the Imperial Army fighting on the opposite side to exterminate those small forces, the general of the Dongting "Thunder" Army in charge of this border Wu Gu Yeli did not take this situation to heart at first, he just received an order from the royal court, asking him to return to the royal court, the order came from His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the implication is that even the entire Lei Army must go back, as the second prince's henchman Wu Gu Yeli. There was confusion in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay even a moment, and immediately ordered the troops scattered in various places to spend the winter to assemble, he knew that the second prince could send this order, indicating that it was now the most critical juncture in the struggle for the throne of the Khan, and compared with helping his master to fight for the throne of the Khan, the movement of the imperial army on the border could hardly be considered
The grassland of the world is large, only the territory under the horse's hooves is the territory, and there is no particularly fixed border line to the grassland, and there is no such thing as sticking to the border and not retreating, originally, Wugu Yeli is ready to retreat after the assembly, but the indiscriminate attack of the other party across the border completely angered him, this is not that I took the initiative to attack them, but that the imperial army deceived people too much, and after destroying the horse thieves, they did not choose to retreat, but swept the grassland rangers on the border unscrupulously, did they really regard themselves as masters? Just now, a 700-strong ranger squadron was intercepted and killed by the other party, coupled with the battle reports that kept coming in the past two days, not counting the so-called horse thieves who had lost, his own Lei Army cavalry had lost more than 2,000, could it be that the Lei Army, one of the famous Eight Armies of the Eastern Court, had been praised by the Old Khan King for attacking the Lei Army like thunder, and just rolled his tail and walked away? "Damn, there's no end!"
Riding on a majestic jujube red war horse, wearing a golden-red horn helmet, riding on horseback like an iron tower, he was angry and crumpled the battle report he had just received in his hand and threw it into the speckled snow white on the ground, behind him was a black and oppressive grassland cavalry cluster. Most of them are wearing ringed iron felt hats, chain mail rings, and grassland bows on their waists, and the horse's hooves are restlessly shaving the residual snow on the ground, and a thick white mist erupts from between the noses of the war horses. Coupled with the mistake from his own subordinates, the second prince had to be transferred to fill the hole by this henchman army Lei Jun.
Before leaving, the second prince gave Wu Guye an order not to take the initiative to fight, even if he gave up the border of the hundred miles of grassland, he should not touch the Falcon Imperial Army, Wu Gu Ye knew his master's thoughts, this was to preserve his strength, so since he led the Lei Army to this place. He has always been willing to give up, not only gave up the border, but even retreated his troops to a hundred miles away, so although the Lei army has been stationed here for more than half a year. Almost never officially fought with the Falcon Empire, and at this time, when he learned that the opponent's troops were not even half of his own, he was still so arrogant. No matter how good her temper is, she can't help it, "What are you kidding!"
The hand holding the whip in the wild gurgled and it would be okay if he was at a disadvantage, but he was clearly at an advantage. Just turned around and left, the Lei army ranked fourth in the Eighth Army of Dongting, with a total of 80,000 troops, only less than the first-ranked Longqiu Army, and the number of imperial cavalry that broke into the border this time died at about 30,000, and the other party collided with death, Lei Jun didn't dare to dare to fight, and the news was transmitted back to the royal court, I was afraid that it would not be of any help to His Royal Highness the Second Prince to fight for the Khan King, but it would be counterproductive, since this is the case, then send these nasty guys to go again, when it comes to grassland warfare, Dongting people are real experts" My lord, the enemy is marching in this direction after thirty miles of Luye Beach!" a galloping scout squirrel skillfully restrained his horse in front of his horse's head
Wu Gu Ye is worthy of being the commander of the eight thousand cavalry of the East Garden, the grassland people take a small force as a lure, the tactics of the ambush of the army can be described as perfect, since the other party likes to chase behind the small group of cavalry to kill, he sent a small group of cavalry as bait, sent out is the most elite scout team, familiar with the local terrain even if the eyes are closed, can walk back, just in the border long circle, the other party is really a bite bite, this is the heavens to destroy you, but not I Wu Gu Ye look at you unpleasantly, Wu Gu Ye muttered to himself, raised the whip in his hand, shouted to the grassland cavalry cluster behind him"Order all the armies to follow up with all their might, and be sure not to let the meat in your mouth run away again!" ......
The horse's hooves stepped on the frozen ice, and there was a gurgling sound, and the barren tidal flats in front of him were full of such thin ice, and the horse's legs were slipping when they stepped on it, and the deputy Fei Tang came up from behind and said in a condensed voice, "My lord, I feel that the situation is a little bad!" According to the information we have obtained, there is a full army of troops in the Dongting Army on the opposite side, and since this is the case, there is really no reason to retreat all the way."
"yes, I'm wondering too!" said Murphyo Boone, who was on the horse, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice. We swept the border in one go, killing thousands of Dongting cavalry, even if it is a stupid opponent, we will no longer stupidly send patrol scouts to the border, so I am ten percent sure that we can say that we have attracted the attention of the Dongting army, this Dongting scout as a bait is not only skilled in horses, but also very familiar with the terrain, and then forced to be cornered, will not choose to run for their lives to this tidal flat that is not conducive to heavy horses, I am sure that the main force of the Dongting people should be waiting for us in front!"
"It should be so" Fei Tang nodded, raised his horsewhip and pointed forward, and said, "The other party obviously wants to use this tidal flat to block the way for his retreat, once he rashly crosses, the main force of the Dongting Army on the opposite side will fight back with all his might, and these two or thirty thousand cavalry may not be the opponent of the other party, since this is the case, it is better to use this tidal flat as a battlefield."
"Do you use this tidal flat as a battlefield?" Murphy Boone's face was resolute, his eyes were cold and staring at the horizon in the distance, this battle was the life-and-death battle of the Murphy Dragonarmored Cavalry, if it failed, it was difficult to say whether it would be able to go back alive, but if it was victorious, the strength of the Murphy Dragonarmored Cavalry would be approved by His Majesty the Falcon,
Yesterday I had received definite news that His Majesty the Falcon had arrived at the Great Wall, and the most warlike guards in the Imperial Army had also left the East, and now, the eyes of the entire more than 100,000 Imperial Army were focused on themselves, and they seemed to be looking forward to how they would break through the defenses of the Dongting people. Biting down a piece of meat hard, this feeling has not been felt for many years, for his own practice of leading troops to break into the border of the East Court, His Majesty Falcon did not say anything, but the 50,000 cavalry of the East Court who had been stationed in Yue Valley for repair hurriedly crossed the Heavenly Wolf Mansion, and rushed to this side in a hurry, it seemed that he didn't want to let himself focus on the front, Murphy Oone is not a fool, since he dares to bet on this, he naturally has the capital to bet on this. This time. 20,000 Murphy dragon cavalry can be said to be pouring out, with 10,000 grassland light cavalry guards, they are not much worse than the other party in terms of combat power.
He had already sent someone to inquire, and the Dongting people on the opposite side had already received the order to retreat, although he didn't know the specific content of the order, but the other party's action of pulling out the camp could not be concealed, and if he didn't catch up and take a bite at this time, then his own Murphy dragon armor cavalry really had no chance. When the main front-line troops of the empire arrive, there will still be their own Murphy dragon armor! If the other party thinks that he has eaten himself because of his small number, then he will not mind breaking the other party's two front teeth
"If nothing else, the steppe people will choose to attack in the early hours of tomorrow morning!"
Fetang jumped off his warhorse. Picking up a piece of ice that had been trampled by the war horse with his hand, and after breaking it with his fingers, he said with certainty, "Because they found that we were not chasing, they will definitely kill themselves." Like us, at night in such an ice-covered wilderness, there is no way to hide the sound of horses' hooves breaking the ice. From the point of view of position, after the opponent crosses the tidal flat, the first thing to do is to choose the higher ground on the right side of the tidal flat as the focus of the charge, and the opponent's cavalry cluster only needs to be slightly adjusted, and it can be lightly sent to occupy the commanding heights of the high ground, and then wait for our army to launch a fatal blow when it moves" "You are right, so I have no intention of fighting them here at all"
The corner of Murphy Boone's mouth smiled, "The other party has more troops than us, and the terrain is more familiar than us, we can't eat the other party in one bite, but as long as the other party feels that this battle cannot be won, they will choose to retreat!" Murphy Boone's horse whip in his hand was raised, pointing to the high ground that Fei Tang just said, and sneered, "You have said where is the high ground that the other party must fight, then we will take it as the decisive battle point, the other party's cavalry will inevitably attack there after crossing this tidal flat, which just gives us the opportunity to meet head-on!" As long as the opponent's sharpness is defeated, the other party will hesitate, don't forget, the other party is still waiting to return to the grassland royal court, how can he be willing to bear such a war of mass casualties at such a critical moment."
In the early morning, three huge queues of 10,000 cavalry slowly appeared from the distant horizon, and the main force of the well-equipped steppe cavalry, as expected, emerged from the ambush position, and found that the prey was not fooled, so they could only turn around and kill back very unwillingly, they cautiously stopped the horse's hooves in the thin ice of the tidal flats, and the eyes of the steppe cavalry were all looking at one place, opposite the tidal flats, the imperial iron cavalry who were also waiting for them
"These bastards, are they provocative!" The leader of the Thunder Legion, Wu Guno, rode on a tall and thick black war horse, his eyes were full of blood-colored red silk, and his hands full of green tendons tightly grasped the reins of the war horse, and his fingertips were deeply immersed in the flesh, it was these bastards who made themselves lose face, and waited in the cold wind for a night,
"Woohoo" A burst of turbulent grassland trombone sounded, dozens of slightly spaced smaller cavalry phalanxes of thousands of troops, began to advance with the Dongting military flag, of which the center is the most elite main force composed of 10,000 elite melee cavalry, the strongest combat effectiveness, and the two wings of 20,000 archers, like two wings to protect the center, located behind the military array is the relatively weak light cavalry, and some scattered melee cavalry, temporarily combined into a 10,000 team, there are more troops in the back, although the three phalanxes attack slowly, their queues are very close to each other, from a distance it looks like a dark cloud covering the earth, at a hundred meters, the steppe cavalry began to raise the steppe bow in their hands,
"Dragoons, assault guns!"
Murphy Boone raised his hand and shouted loudly, only to see a whole group of light cavalry suddenly accelerate, the horse's hooves flying, the cavalry above skillfully and efficiently pulled out the javelin with a fine iron spear head from the crotch of the war horse, at a distance of 80 meters from the Eastern Court cavalry queue, before the war horse turned, he threw it with all his body's sharp weapons, only to see a waterfall of metal light representing death falling from the sky, and the Eastern Court cavalry who was moving forward in the tidal flat was like being swept by a huge scythe, under this stormy blow, even if the war horse was twisted into an unnatural posture, flipping and being shot into a hedgehog full of arrows。 A soldier sprayed blood from his horse and rose in the air, screaming and throwing dust from his horse, the people of Dongting had never encountered such an opponent who replaced the arrow cluster with a javelin, and he was a little stunned for a while, and as soon as he put his hand down, the arrow broke through the air, "Speed up, rush over!"
There was no setback on his face, but he showed a touch of joy, a distance of 100 meters, it was just ten seconds, and at that moment just now, the melee cavalry on the flank finally rushed in. Holding the scimitar in his hand high, he shouted loudly and rushed into the ranks of the imperial army, "popping" the fierce collision of short distances, it was completely a man slashing people, and a horse hitting a horse. Tens of thousands of cavalry crowded the tidal flats, less than 2 kilometers away, and the two sides that collided with each other spread out like a rolling wave, and then collided again, tearing each other with all the weapons at their disposal, and blood splattered on the faces of the cavalrymen, making them look like hideous red men.
It was already so close that in the eyes of both sides, the other side's cavalry seemed to be slashing and killing on the backs of their cavalry! The two sides didn't even have room to turn their horses, the only thing they could do was to swing their knives, swing their knives, and swing their knives again, until every enemy who was still on their horses in front of them, the numerical advantage of the Dongting army was obvious, and Murphy Boone calmly observed the situation on the battlefield, and ordered loudly, "Retreat! While maintaining the line, retreat..." , The ten thousand people on the flanks have been collapsed by the shock, and the fierce steppe cavalry almost swooped up like crazy, with the advantage of numbers, and swept wildly, even so, the people of Dongting did not forget to send an elite to take the high ground in the west
I had a cold and fever, and after taking the medicine, I only had paste left in my head, and I barely wrote a chapter (to be continued......
