Chapter 103: The Road to Self-Destruction
"Stopped!?What's going on?" Ha Wu froze, she didn't expect it. A few days ago, it was still a rush of fire, and the Zhou Yi army, which had wings and flew to Pingman City, suddenly stopped, and it seemed that it was not in a hurry at all about the situation in the south.
Uh! This makes me feel embarrassed when I am preparing to fight a big battle!
At this time, if the plan is changed, it is impossible to go south to exterminate the half-elf cavalry. Zhou Yi's army was only a hundred miles away from him, and if he went south, it wouldn't take long for them to reach Pingman City in one day. However, if they lead their army north, their nearly 600,000 troops have already set up camp, and they can stop waiting for themselves to fall into the net.
Ahh
At this time, if she can't guess Zhou Yi's plan, she doesn't have to lead the troops anymore, just find a piece of tofu and kill her!
He just didn't want to let himself go south to find trouble with the cavalry, so he made a gesture of rushing south regardless of life or death at first. Now that the time and distance are almost over, he slowed down unhurriedly, recuperated his military strength, and slowly advanced here.
It's funny that he really didn't see Zhou Yi's plan at that time. In this way, the situation of himself who is suffering from the enemy is getting worse and worse!
Alas, why does this man have so many thoughts! Why is he so stupid! He actually fell into such a fool, and he could see the flawed plan at a glance, but he let himself fall into the pit desperately.
Or is the temptation of that result too great! Let yourself be confused!
Annihilating the last large-scale living force of the Qinling Empire in the south in one fell swoop, it would be difficult for the Qinling people to threaten the territory occupied by the elves in the south for a long time.
What a fantasy!
It can't be violated, and no matter how much you regret it, it's already like this. Now let's prepare for defense! Now let yourself go to the decisive battle with Zhou Yi again, hum!
Zhou Yi's five major legions, nearly 600,000 horses, coupled with Zhou's elusive use of troops, Yu Wu was really not sure that he would be able to defeat him head-on.
Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry poking behind him, and there are hundreds of thousands of Qinling troops on the side, so he can't fight in waves at the moment. However, what should I do with this food supply!? Oh, damn it, because the decisive battle was planned, there was not much food left, and all the food stocks were distributed so that the soldiers could eat openly, and the current food stocks could not support long-term holding!
Although Yu Wu studied the art of war, she had never actually led a soldier into battle. This time, after leading the independent army to the north, after suffering a few big losses, the disadvantages of being a novice began to appear, that is, they did not dare to surprise the army again, but strictly followed the traditional art of war, shrinking the army, and strictly guarding against death!
There was only food and grass! I could only urge Prince Hicks to do his best to send food supplies.
Prince Hicks, who had high hopes from her, did not live up to her expectations, and before she could send someone to urge, he had already led a large army carrying a huge fleet of supplies to the north.
But things didn't go according to their script, and Tsavhan didn't fight head-on, but led his cavalry around Prince Hicks' army. As a result, he had to line up in a neat battle array, surround the supplies in the army, and walk slowly.
In this way, one can imagine how slow the march of Hicks' army was, and it would be good to be able to march twenty miles a day! If Chahan led his army to test, the army would have to stop and defend.
This kind of combat method makes Hicks want to die, fight and not fight, withdraw and not retreat, like kraft candy clinging to himself like a kraft candy What is the matter!
There was no large-scale cavalry in his hands, so he could only stare at Cha Hangan! Sometimes, he wanted to pick up the big sword and lead the army to attack, but the memories of being Zhou Yikeng in Baiyue County made him only suppress his impulse.
I'm afraid that this Qinling cavalry army would like to lead the troops to attack by itself!
But if you don't attack, you must always be vigilant against their surprise attacks. In this case, how dare Hicks let the army line out of the normal marching army, so he had to assume a defensive posture and slowly crawl towards Pingman City like a turtle.
Looking at the north, Prince Hicks let out a long sigh, I hope that the grain in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can hold on until he climbs there!
Chahan stood on the hillside, his eyes fixed on the Hicks army not far away like a turtle shell, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Hmph, I made you a surprise attack last time, but I couldn't stop the army of Hamai. Now I want to go north to converge, don't think!
The messenger sent by Zhou Yi was an innate martial artist, who secretly crossed the Lianyun Mountain Range to find him and convey the latest military information. Knowing that Pingman City was burned to the ground, he thought carefully in his heart, and he had already guessed the current situation of the elven army near Pingman City.
The rapid assault of the large army is definitely impossible to bring too much military resources. I'm afraid that the elven army there is already in danger of running out, otherwise there would be no elven supply brigade here. Carrying so much supplies, if you let you run away lightly, you don't have to lead the troops yourself!
The Eight Banners Legion has completed the pursuit mission, the wildebeest cavalry army has been beaten to the ground, and more than 300,000 iron cavalry under his command at this time, if it is really a strong attack regardless of losses, the elf army in front of him may not be able to stop it.
But the task given by Zhou Yi was only to drag the reinforcements, cut off the grain route, and wait for an opportunity to threaten the rear of the elves in the direction of Pingman City.
Turning the horse's head, Chahan sat on the horse, and said in a deep voice to Yue Feijie and the others beside him: "Keep an eye on them, send people to harass them from time to time, and never let them speed up!"
"Order!" Yue Feijie clenched his fists, and looked back at the elf not far away with a smile.
Hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen are ready to attack at any time, so Prince Hicks is afraid that he must be in a bad mood at this time!
Even if the marching speed was slow, it was only a hundred miles away, and Zhou Yi's army had slowly driven to the north of Pingman City and set up camp.
His windy Chinese army war vehicle was parked in the Chinese army camp, and it could be seen clearly through the layers of military camp tents.
Yu Wu climbed to the top of the city and looked into the distance, and saw this qiē clearly.
"Hmph! Extravagance and lasciviousness are nothing more than this! In the march of the army, with such a big frame, Zhou Yi is really greedy for enjoyment!" Looking at Zhou Yi's car, Yu Wu spit out such a sentence coldly in his mouth.
"Your Highness, that guy is now named the King of Zhenguo Wucheng by Emperor Qinling, and he is in charge of the military and political power. Thinking that he suddenly ascended to a high position, he naturally lost his eyes, but it was just a villain's ambition! Otherwise, how about ordering a group to storm their camp?" Xue Qin was also quite unaccustomed to this kind of bad taste of marching and fighting and greedy for enjoyment, and when she heard the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she made a statement.
Yu Wu shook his head, the Qinling army was in good order, and the camp was very tight, and it was not something that could be broken through lightly. Instead of sending people to death in vain, it is better to strictly defend the city.
If the city hadn't been burned to the ground, the city would not have been able to accommodate 600,000 troops. At present, the city is densely packed with tents, and anyway, there are four walls to protect it, which is safer than camping in the wilderness! The only thing to worry about is the lack of food.
She has issued a military order to limit the supply of food. Even so, I'm afraid it won't last a few days!
For now, hold on to the city and wait for Prince Hicks' military supplies. If the grain cannot be transported before the food is cut off, then it is impossible to say that you will have to go out of the city to fight to the death. This kind of situation was absolutely unexpected, and the situation was so bad that it was hard to believe it now.
Not to mention the complicated feelings in the hearts of the elven army in the city, after Zhou Yi arranged the camp tents of each army here, the officers above the division commander of several major legions came to his cart one after another.
"Oh! The elven army has all retreated into Pingman City! Don't they know that this is a dead end!?" Hearing the report, Zhou Yi was stunned at first. He really didn't think clearly, what kind of trouble the elf boss was making!
If Pingman City is a big city like Chuyang City and Nanyue City, and a large number of Qinling civilians live in it, then it is a good way to retreat into the city. After all, he can guess the current situation of the elves, it is nothing more than because of the rash raid and the lack of supplies for the army. Originally, it was planned that after breaking through Pingman City, a large amount of military funds would be captured, after all, there were a large number of military warehouses in Pingman City. This must have been figured out by them from the beginning.
It's a pity that Wang Baobao didn't play his cards according to common sense, and burned Pingman City to scorched earth with a fire, not to mention the military resources in the city, that is, the towns around Pingman City were swept away. Take away what you can take, and hide what you can't take or burn it on the spot.
This kind of scorched earth policy of clearing the wilderness has made it impossible for the elves to harvest even a grain of rice, and the result is naturally tragic now!
In addition, during the siege of the city at that time, the loss of nearly 100,000 troops made their morale drop significantly, which was really worse!
"Hehe, Lord Wang! Presumably, the elven crown prince should have been made suspicious by the repeated blows, and at this time she must be worried that the prince will have some plans, so she simply retreated into the city with the whole army, intending to hold on and wait for help!" Although he was just joking, he was really right about Yu Wu's thoughts.
"Lord Wang, don't care so much about her, the enemy hedgehogs are gathered in the city, let's just not attack the city! A fire will burn the Pingman City, see what they do!" Cheng Peng said directly, he didn't care so much, since the elves themselves died, they all ran into Pingman City. Needless to say, direct fire prevention is. There were no imperial people in the city, and he didn't have any psychological pressure at all when he set fire to the city.
The two marshals Xu Jia and Xu Wei also nodded their heads, and they still remember the military situation at Manchuan Pass!
Although Gong Hao and the others are descendants of Lin Bo, they are regarded as imperial rebels. But the more than 200,000 soldiers under the two of them are not rebellious, they are real imperial soldiers. The elves destroyed more than 200,000 Qinling soldiers with a single cannon fire. Then you will do the first year of junior high school, and I will do the fifteenth.
A fire burned down the entire Pingman City, which can be regarded as revenge for the imperial heroic soul who died in Manchuan Pass!
When Zhou Yi heard this, his heart also moved, he really didn't expect that Yu Wu would make such a stupid move. If it is really according to what Marshal Cheng Peng said, of course, this elven army can be annihilated in one blow. Presumably, after this army was wiped out, the current strength of the elves was temporarily unable to prevent them from leading their army south.
However, I suddenly remembered the information revealed when I heard the conversation between Duke Isaiah Darkleaf and Marquis Horace Swift Arrow when I regained Manchuan Pass, and the homeland of these elves underwent drastic changes, so they landed on the Eastern Continent in a big way.
An entire elven empire was forced to cross the sea and move north, and on such a large scale, the threat to the Qinling Empire was not insignificant!
At the beginning of the battle of Manchuan Pass, although the elves used such ruthless methods, it was still a normal war after all. At this time, he burned more than 600,000 of their army, and the revenge was avenged, but the elven crown prince would definitely not survive. Even if he did not die in the fire, he would have committed suicide to atone for his sins. Yu Wu, a woman she has been in contact with, is weak on the outside, but she is actually very proud inside.
If it was because of her decision-making, the hundreds of thousands of troops who led to the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of troops, she would never have lived alone!
In this way, the Qinling Empire and the Kunya Empire will be an undying blood feud!
Zhou Yi suddenly stopped talking, then got up and left the seat, paced out of the big tent, came to the front of the car, supported the railing with both hands, and looked at the Pingman City in front of him.
As long as he gives an order, the more than 600,000 elves in it will inevitably die!
