Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 98: The first confrontation between Zhou Yafu and Wu Sangui
"Kill!"
Wu Sangui led 500 light cavalry to hunt down 2000 soldiers in Linyin Town on the plain.
Xueyue Town was under too much pressure, and had to dispatch soldiers stationed in Linyin Town to come for reinforcements, but was ambushed by Wu Sangui's cavalry, and the 2,000 soldiers in Linyin Town were defeated.
The opponent's commander is Wu Sangui, and there are five hundred cavalry. Under the premise of a successful ambush, there are not many people who can stop him.
Wu Sangui brandished the goose-legged waist knife, and the glamorous blade slashed it down, carrying a smear of blood.
Hundreds of grove soldiers were killed by cavalry sabers or spears, and corpses lay everywhere!
"These soldiers are vulnerable. If I have a Guanning iron cavalry, 20,000 soldiers like this can't stop my charge."
Wu Sangui caught up with a soldier in Linyin Town, and using the speed of the warhorse, he cut it down effortlessly.
"General, an unidentified troop appeared ahead, and several brothers were shot dead!"
While Wu Sangui was chasing down Lin Yinzhen's broken troops, several light cavalrymen were killed by crossbow arrows and fell from their horses.
"Appeal!"
Wu Sangui pulled back his horse.
A foot soldier appeared on the horizon, and the banner was completely different from that of Xueyue Town and Linyin Town.
"Do they still have the Second Support Army?"
Wu Sangui was a little surprised. He speculated that the other party deployed a support army outside the town and successfully destroyed the 2,000-strong reinforcement army, but he never imagined that the second support army would come to support Xueyue Town.
The 2nd Support Army has strict discipline, with gun and shield men walking in neat steps, with bowmen in the rear.
Just now, three light cavalrymen crashed into the support army and were mercilessly shot by the crossbowmen.
"The opponent's general should also be a veteran."
Wu Sangui and Zhou Yafu had their first confrontation between the two armies. One was in command of the light cavalry and the other was in command of the light infantry.
"Assemble now!"
Probably aware that Zhou Yafu's arrival was not good, Wu Sangui gathered the light cavalry who chased and killed the soldiers in Linyin Town, and dealt with Zhou Yafu carefully.
Zhou Yafu and Liu Sandao faced Wu Sangui, who had more than 400 cavalry. They were also careful and formed a tight square to prevent Wu Sangui's cavalry from destroying the formation, and then a pig took him away.
The light cavalry had a huge advantage in this plain terrain. Zhou Yafu, who had no cavalry in his hands, frowned.
Being targeted by a squad of light cavalry on the plains is not a comfortable thing.
"This light cavalry should be our enemy. Liu Sandao, don't go into battle easily."
Zhou Yafu was a defensive commander. Before he knew the capabilities of the enemy general, he ordered Liu Sandao, who was the deputy general, not to act rashly.
At the same time, Zhou Yafu summoned the defeated troops in Linyin Town and made them regroup behind.
Zhou Yafu annexed the soldiers and villagers from the villages and towns along the way. There are now 2,700 soldiers. Together with the defeated soldiers in Linyin Town, there are about 4,000 people, forming a military advantage over Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui had the mobility and Zhou Yafu had the advantage in numbers. Both sides were guarding each other, and no one took the initiative to attack.
Zhou Yafu knew that although his troops were large, they were a mob. Except that the soldiers in Xia Town with less than 1,000 people are elites, the rest of the soldiers are either from other towns or from the countryside. If he took the initiative to attack, the formation of 4,000 people would be chaotic, then Wu Sangui's light cavalry would cut into the formation with a saber and win a big victory.
Wu Sangui didn't dare to take the initiative to attack. Zhou Yafu's army included third-tier Xuzhou archers, and some second-tier infantrymen were using infantry crossbows. Once approached, the crossbow arrows would be fired in unison, and the light cavalry would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
The two sides are dealing with each other, like two patient hunters.
The mayor of Linyin Town was sweating profusely and came to find Zhou Yafu: "Brother, thank you so much, you are the general of Xia Town, right? If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have died here today. Damn, the people of the Battle Spirit Guild are too ruthless, they specifically ambushed a cavalry and waited for me to rescue, but I was chased by this cavalry for five miles! Qi Xiaobai is in my hands!"
Zhou Yafu had a headache when he heard this foreign lord talk about it: "Is Xueyue Town still holding on?"
"Still defending, Xue Yue can support such a large guild, and the town she built herself will not fall so easily."
"We're going to Snow Moon Town."
Zhou Yafu observed the surrounding environment. He had to enter the nearby Xueyue Town to get rid of the troublesome light cavalry and get supplies.
Zhou Yafu doesn't have many arrows left. Once the arrows are exhausted, it will be even more dangerous.
The 4,000-strong infantry archers began to pull out their battalion and marched towards Xueyue Town at an extremely slow speed under the surveillance of the light cavalry.
Wu Sangui was still waiting patiently for the timing of the assault. He kept dispatching small groups of cavalry to detour left and right, trying to disrupt Zhou Yafu's formation.
"The supervising team listens to orders, and anyone who panics will be killed without mercy!"
Zhou Yafu sent a small-scale supervising team to stabilize the formation and did not give Wu Sangui a chance to attack.
The two troops confronted each other, and Zhou Yafu approached Xueyue Town without haste.
Xueyue Town is less than 5 kilometers away, because Wu Sangui's cavalry is eyeing tigers, but Zhou Yafu and the others walked for a long time, and finally saw the city of Xueyue Town and the camp of the Battle Spirit Guild.
Now both camps are in chaos.
Xue Yue was the first to react: "Our reinforcements have arrived, open the door and receive reinforcements!"
Under the leadership of Xueyue, Xueyue Town sent two thousand defenders out of the town.
"Intercept them!"
Almost at the same time, Qi Xiaobai led the Allied Forces of Battle Spirits out to intercept, preventing Zhou Yafu from meeting with the Allied Forces of Wolfxing!
"At this point, it's time to attack!"
Wu Sangui has been waiting for the opportunity~IndoMTL.com~ On the outskirts of Xueyue Town, the light cavalry pulled out his waist knife and finally showed his sharp fangs!
The four armies fought meleely, and the original offensive and defensive battle turned into a four-way battle, and it was even difficult to distinguish the enemy from me!
Wu Sangui's cavalry broke into the soldiers of Linyin Town, Zhou Yafu's spear and shield phalanx broke through the battle spirit coalition army, the wolf line coalition tried to merge with Zhou Yafu, and the archers were struggling to identify the enemy...
When Zhou Yafu's group came to Xueyue Town, it was close to sunset. At this time, the days were short and the nights were long, and the battlefield soon turned dark. The two sides who did not prepare torches were completely unable to distinguish each other.
So after a fierce battle, the two sides seem to have reached a tacit agreement and withdraw their troops.
Zhou Yafu led the reinforcements into Xueyue Town.
In the first confrontation with Wu Sangui, Zhou Yafu did not win or suffer. Wu Sangui lost a lot of cavalry, and the training cost of each cavalry was much higher than that of infantry and Xiang Yong.
Zhou Yafu achieved his strategic goal—he successfully merged with the Wolfxing Allied Forces, and there were more than 7,000 defenders in the town.
"General Zhou, we meet again."
Xue Yue had met Zhou Yafu on the battlefield in Guangzong County, and knew that this was the most skilled general under Chu Tian's command.
The fact that Chutian sent Commander Zhou Yafu to reinforce the army is enough to show that Chutian attaches great importance to the northern part of Kaiyang County.
Zhou Yafu replied calmly: "On the order of the lord, come to reinforce, luckily not to be humiliated."
Xue Yue got this batch of reinforcements, and had the idea of counterattack: "Maybe we can counterattack, our defenders are no less than the siege troops outside!"
Zhou Yafu shook his head: "Please wait, there is a second batch of reinforcements on the way."
Xue Yue and the other lords of the Wolf Guild were somewhat shocked. I didn't expect that Xia Zhen could send two reinforcements. That's just the power of one lord.
