I’m The King Chapter 676: : Blizzard and Snowstorm (28)
Qutu Argen sat on the snowdrift in despair. For two whole days, there were more and more troops around him, not only the army, but also countless people in the fields. They were surrounded by death Within an area with a radius of less than five miles. (
Half of the 20,000 cavalry he brought had already been lost. For the cavalry, they had no room to maneuver and were trapped in such a small area by countless infantry, almost losing all their advantages.
The enemy army surrounded them from four directions. They did not take the initiative to attack, but crazily built all kinds of parapets, horses, and antlers between the battles. Behind these things, they were densely packed. The daunting bed crossbow, and the seemingly endless arm crossbow hidden behind the bed crossbow.
Most of the 10,000 soldiers lost were killed by these long-range weapons.
This battle was the most suffocating and the heaviest battle Qutu Argen fought. After two days, he did not have any hearty hand-to-hand combat with his opponent, but only with the boundless There are endless obstacles of all kinds, and endless arrows are fighting.
The lives of the warriors were lost in such a charge again and again. In two days, he advanced two miles forward, but fell into the opponent's four-sided attack.
Looking at the walls made of ice and snow that were advancing towards the center, Qutu Argen had completely lost hope of victory.
On the night of this day, nearly ten thousand soldiers from Dayan City led by Sun Xiao who was stationed at Dayan Lake finally rushed over, and the five thousand East Hu cavalry who restrained Sun Xiao had already detoured to Crescent Moon after receiving Yan Qi's order. The lake ran towards Ningyuan. Although these 10,000 troops are all new troops, for Qutu Argen who is in a desperate situation, it is undoubtedly the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Sun Xiao is the commander of the entire northern field army. After he arrived, the command on the battlefield was automatically handed over to him, in his tent. The first-level generals of the various military divisions gathered. Although the battle is not over, everyone is already beaming with joy. There is basically no suspense in this battle.
"Commander, I think we should attack with the whole army now, the opponent's morale has fallen to the bottom, and in such a small area, they can no longer move their troops maneuverably, building walls step by step like now The way of advancing slowly is really too slow!" Tao Jiawang was the first to speak.
"Inappropriate!" Luo Weiran shook his head and said, "Although Qutu Argen suffered heavy losses, he still has 10,000 troops. The commander's wish is not to hope that our victory will be a miserable victory, but a complete victory. , Therefore, since there is a better way to reduce our casualties, we must not rush forward. It is a pleasure to rush up and kill, but the casualties of our army will increase greatly."
"Mr. Luo, are you afraid?" Tao Jiawang sneered.
Yan Peng knocked on the table, "Mr. Tao's words were wrong. Wei Ran led a lone army out of the city. First he attacked Azizi, and then fought a **** battle with Murong Kun. Then he led his troops back to help. During the battles of the past few days, I think Master Tao has also seen Wei Ran's performance?"
Tao Jiawang couldn't help but hesitate, the reason why this battle was so close to victory so quickly. It was indeed the second army that made the first contribution, and of course this was the reason why he was unhappy, not only him, but most of the first army was also unhappy.
"Okay, we're all brothers Paoze, so what's the point of arguing!" Sun Xiao said with a smile, "Jiawang, don't be so sour, this time the Second Army has indeed made great contributions. But your first army is not bad, not only you, but Huazong have performed well, even Chen Bin, who has been broadcast, is also impressive. There are still battles to be fought in the future. I am afraid that you will not fight with Wei. Opportunity to compete? Don't worry, I will give you this opportunity, it depends on whether you can seize it."
Tao Jiawang smiled proudly: "As long as the commander is willing to give me this opportunity, I will naturally seize it."
Luo Weiran smiled and said nothing. Although he has made great achievements this time, he is still extremely low-key. He and Chen Bin both came from the standing army of Yan State. Compared with people like Tao Jiawang and Ni Huazong, their roots are inevitably weaker. He has been in the standing army of Yan State for so many years, so he naturally knows how to deal with these things.
Neither showing weakness, but also not being able to pick things up, anyway, Yan Peng will never watch him suffer.
Ni Huazong coughed, and said softly: "We can draw it slowly here, but I am worried about the governor's side. The governor took cavalry to intercept the palace guards. The number of the two sides is about the same, but the combat effectiveness of the palace guards , It's really worrying, whether I can win steadily, to be honest, I'm a little nervous, Jia Wang said so, and he also wants to free up troops to support the governor!"
"Since I said I can win, the governor, he will naturally win!" Sun Xiao has almost a kind of blind confidence in Gao Yuan. Going up to kill the Quartet is a psychological result of various behaviors that have been exhausted.
"Although that is the case, we still have to be on the safe side. If we can send a support army, at least it will be a psychological deterrent to Yan Qi." Ni Huazong still insisted on his own ideas.
Yan Peng smiled and said: "But the governor's side, no matter the enemy or us, are all cavalry, and according to the commander's thinking, he will definitely use the strategy of exhausting the enemy first. I'm afraid it's hundreds of miles away from us. They are all pawns, even if they work day and night, they will not be able to catch up!"
Ni Huazong smiled and said: "Actually, we can still gather a cavalry."
"There are still cavalry there?" This time, even Luo Weiran was a little confused.
When Sun Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up, "Hua Zong is right, we can indeed gather a cavalry, Commander Yan, there are still dozens of cavalry under your command. Horses, right? All of our soldiers here add up to hundreds of riders, so it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”
"Get our own soldiers together?" Yan Peng frowned, "But they have never fought together, let alone cooperate with each other, and they are not familiar with each other. Cavalry, can it be useful to send out?"
"The main function of sending this cavalry is not to fight, but to frighten the enemy. Think about it, if Yan Qi saw such a cavalry appear on the battlefield, what would he think? Thinking that Qu Tu Argen is finished, our reinforcements are already on the way, not far from him, what do you think those palace guards will think?" Sun Xiao had already figured out the joints, and said with a smile.
"Who will be in command?" Yan Peng also understood this, "This person must have a high enough position, otherwise it will be difficult to control these people! Will come back again."
"I think Weiran will go!" Sun Xiao looked at Luo Weiran with a smile, which meant to reward Luo Weiran for his great contribution in this battle.
"I can't!" Luo Weiran waved his hands again and again, "I have never led cavalry before. I am an infantry general, but I can't lead cavalry. Commander, please forgive me."
Luo Weiran is an extremely smart person. In this battle, he has already done his best. Although Sun Xiao had good intentions, he was roasting him on the fire. Wouldn't it make the other generals jealous? It's not a good thing for me, I smiled and declined, and looked at Yan Peng for help.
Yan Peng is also from a family of old bureaucrats, so he naturally understood what Yan Peng meant, "Commander, Wei Ran fought too hard this time. After lying in the nest for nearly a day, after this battle, he rushed here non-stop. It seems that he is in a good state of mind, but in fact, he is already at the end of his battle. The commander is sympathetic to the meritorious minister and let him rest for a while. !”
Sun Xiao pulled the short beard under his chin, looked at the strange state of Yan Peng and Luo Weiran, and seemed to understand something. Sun Xiao really didn't know much about these things, but since he noticed something strange Naturally, he would not insist any more, "Okay, since that's the case, let Jiawang go. Jiawang is a veteran of the Eastern Army. Everyone knows you, and you will never go against your will."
Tao Jiawang stood up eagerly, "Don't worry, Commander, Jiawang will definitely rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to help the governor."
"Okay, after the meeting, all the generals, please hand over all the cavalry you can gather to Jiawang. We don't need them here. Anyway, they can only serve as infantry envoys here." Sun Xiao smiled. Said: "It didn't make them feel wronged."
Everyone burst into laughter~IndoMTL.com~ Amidst the laughter, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and an officer rushed in, gave a military salute to the generals present, and said loudly: "Commander, I just received a report from the sentry in front. The Donghu army has changed. It looks like they want to attack overnight."
"It seems that Qu Tu Argen is impatient to come and die. Everyone, please return to your own defense zone. Let us use arrow rain, spears, and large shields to let these invincible Donghu cavalry be baptized Go!" Sun Xiao laughed.
All the generals rushed to their defense area impatiently. According to the order, the soldiers of the generals must prepare all the materials and weapons needed for the long-distance attack within an hour. Tao Jiawang will attack overnight.
When Tao Jiawang led more than 400 assembled cavalry to leave the battlefield on horseback, the shouts of killing rang out behind them. To attack, even if he used his life to pass through, he still had to make a final desperate fight, protruding as much as he could. (To be continued!
