Chapter 30: The Camp of Destruction Again
"Woo ......" The long and deep horn sounded, and Prince Hicks sat on the white wildebeest, which walked briskly in the direction of Manchuan Pass. In front of him was a large phalanx of 40,000 people, and beside him were 10,000 royal knights and mages, followed by nearly 150,000 troops.
Huangfu Lesheng stood on the Guancheng, looking at the elven army slowly approaching from afar, his brows stretched, and he said to Yan Junxia, the commander of the ninety-first division beside him: "Yesterday you said that Zhou Yi appeared near the elf camp, and Hicks sent two cavalry teams of 10,000 people to pursue it. Now it seems that Zhou Yi's plan has succeeded!
You see, there is no trace of the light cavalry in the elven army, and it is estimated that they are still pestered by Zhou Yi. ”
"Marshal, I'm afraid that Hicks's light cavalry has a big problem, the elven army on the opposite side is only more than 200,000 people at best, except for the 10,000 or 20,000 people left behind in the camp, at least 80,000 or 90,000 troops have not appeared. Wu Yangping's sharp voice suddenly sounded, and he pointed to the elven army outside the city and said.
"Oh, maybe they stayed in the camp or had some other task!How does the commander of the Wuyang Division think that Lord Zhou did it?" Peng Yue questioned Wuyangping's statement, he didn't think that the half-tone cavalry led by Zhou Yi was so capable.
"Hehe, General Peng, the elven army has invaded the vanguard army of nearly one million in the north this time, and the more than 400,000 army led by Hicks is the vanguard force, and their most important task is to break through the Manchuan Pass and open the way to other counties of the empire. Under what circumstances would Hicks have to divide his troops?
Naturally, other armies are responsible for transporting supplies in the rear, and don't forget that the number of elven armies is nearly one million, and the army here is not yet more than half! For the same reason, there was no problem in Baiyue County that needed to draw the Hicks front-line troops, because they had plenty of troops.
The only reason that forced Hicks to divide his forces was that his siege was threatened in some way, and he had to divide his forces to defend himself. The only thing that our army has the ability to threaten Hicks in Baiyue County is the 40,000 cavalry of Lord Zhou!
I don't know if General Peng agrees with what I said?" Wu Yangping slowly said his speculation in his unpleasant voice, and Huangfu Lesheng agreed with it, and nodded again and again.
Peng Yue was speechless by Wu Yangping's words, so he had to nod in agreement.
"Okay! Since Zhou Yi can force Hicks to be busy with his half-civilian and half-army troops, then our Ninth Legion can't be soft! Yan Junxia, your 91st Division is responsible for defending the city pass, and the Shenji Battalion of the two major legions is all transferred to serve under you, so you must let Hicks break his big teeth!" Huangfu Lesheng directly ordered, and Yan Junxia beside him immediately took the order.
Then, Huangfu Lesheng took the other two division commanders down the city tower, and the 93rd and 94th divisions had to continue their training, and he himself had a lot of official business to deal with. After Le Cheng left, the internal affairs of the two legions were basically handled by himself.
Duke Simpson Darksong was very annoyed that the command of his First Army was taken away by Prince Hicks because of an inexplicable Qinling cavalry, and he had to lead these 90,000 troops to search for the whereabouts of the Qinling people.
This cunning and ferocious Qinling army is all cavalry, and its own side is an infantry army, so it is strange that they can be caught. With this in mind, General Simpson led this detachment of troops to march slowly to the rear, and after carefully inspecting the place where the wildebeest cavalry had been attacked, he set up camp.
