The Young Master Is Fierce Chapter 1189: Battle of Hotz Plain
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
This time the marching speed of the army suddenly accelerated.
After Fu Xiaoguan carefully studied the map of the Peacock Kingdom, he gave He Sandao an order: the entire army would only bring three days of food and grass, and the advance team would not stay in the town as long as it was not attacked.
Attack a town every three days, collect food and grass, and then the army leaves.
This behavior is very strange.
Asuka in the Huayue City Palace frowned as he looked at the continuous intelligence sent by the scouts.
The Daxia Army did not attack Kantil. Shouldn’t their original goal be Huayue City?
Why did they suddenly change direction... this direction... Ashoka walked to the wall in two steps, and took a breath when he looked at the huge map on the wall!
His 500,000 Peacock Army is heading west to Hoz City under the leadership of Laxman's personal guards. According to the report, Prince Laxman will arrive in five days.
Alexander's troops from the west will arrive in seven days.
Laxman's personal guards had two days to prepare. In the original strategic plan, it was not a battle to defend the city, but a head-on battle with the enemy on the Great Plains of Hoze outside Hoze City!
The Peacock Army needs a quick victory so that they can escape and return to Huayue City.
But now, the direction that the Great Xia army is heading towards is also Hoz City!
They actually set up a lot of spies in my kingdom!
They want to wipe out my king’s 500,000 peacock army in the Hotz Plains!
This is absolutely not okay!
"Here comes..."
"Inform Prince Laxman quickly that the Great Xia army is heading towards Hoz City, and ask him to lead the army to garrison Hoz City. I will lead the new army there immediately!"
……
……
Prince Sangjiayi of Kantil City did not order the pursuit.
The commander of the Daxia Army marched straight in, covering thousands of miles within a few days, getting closer and closer to Hoz City.
This night the army camped on a plain to rest.
Ji Yungui walked into Fu Xiaoguan's tent worriedly with a few pieces of information.
"The news just came back that 500,000 Peacock troops are stationed in Hodes City. 400,000 Alexander's troops will arrive in the Hodes Plains roughly three days later. In addition... King Ashoka of the Peacock Kingdom in Huayue City brought Three hundred thousand recruits are also heading to Hodes City!"
"Your Majesty, plus our Daxia army... there will be a full 1.6 million troops facing off on the Hotz Plain!"
Fu Xiaoguan took the information and looked at it. This scene is indeed quite big!
The Peacock Kingdom has 800,000 people, Alexander has 400,000 people, and his own side has 400,000 people.
The three parties are on the same battlefield. They have no friendly forces and are all enemies.
In other words, either side must be prepared for attacks from the other two sides... He did not bring artillery, but he had plenty of ammunition. The air force consumed a lot of money in the battle in the Tire Mountains, but it could still launch An air raid.
How to fight this battle in order to achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties?
In fact, the best way is to ignore the Battle of Hotz Plains at all. If your army turns north again at this time... the king of the Peacock Kingdom has gone to Hotz Plains, and Huayue City will definitely be empty. It is better to take it directly The best time in Huayue City.
With this in mind, Fu Xiaoguan ordered Liu Jin to call in Guan Xiaoxi and the other four.
"War plans changed!"
The four people in Guan Xiaoxi were immediately stunned. A guy ran so far. His Majesty said he wanted to change the war plan?
"Your Majesty, how should we fight?"
“Abandon the attack on Hotz Plains, the army immediately breaks camp and marches towards Huayue City!”
Fu Xiaoguan did not explain, and Guan Xiaoxi and the other two did not ask any further questions. The 400,000-strong army turned around and headed north again on this starry night.
From here, we bypassed the Ganzoya Mountains and no longer passed through the city of Cantil.
He Sandao received His Majesty's autograph from Tianji Pavilion in the middle of the night. After reading it, he looked up to the sky and sighed, turning around and running north with ten thousand marines.
This time the army marched faster!
Asuka's troops were less than halfway to the Hozi Plains when he received this amazing news!
"This **** Daxia man, I fell into his trap and retreated..."
“Order Laxman’s personal guards to quickly return to Huayue City to support Huayue City after destroying Alexander!”
However, Ashoka's order has not yet reached the city of Hoz, which has been surrounded by Alexander's troops.
The violent sound of artillery sounded, and the city of Hoz trembled in the thundering sound of artillery fire.
The broad city wall endured the artillery fire for a whole day, and in the early morning of the next day, the city wall collapsed.
Prince Laxman rushed out with half a million peacock troops, and the Battle of Holtz Plains broke out completely.
This is a war of equal strength.
Alexander had one hundred thousand fewer men than Laxman, but had the advantage of artillery. Laxman stood firmly in front of Hoze City and had the rear supply of Hoze City. If he persisted in this war strategy, Alexander would have nothing to do with him.
But...
Asuka's royal order was delivered to him.
The Daxia Army actually went to Huayue City!
If the Great Xia Army occupied Huayue City, the 300,000 recruits in the king's hands, even if Prince Sangjiayi's millions of recruits were included, would never be a match for the Great Xia Army!
Because he is a new soldier, and his combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of veterans.
What should I do?
In the garrison of Hoz City, Laxman issued a battle order to his generals——
Tonight, we will raid the Alexander camp and destroy this enemy in one battle! Then return to support Huayue City and compete with the Daxia Army in Huayue City!
The Battle of Hotz Plains, which was supposed to last for a long time, reached its climax that night. Alexander the Great had never seen such a desperate army in his many battles!
He showed extremely high command skills at this time. Relying on the fierce artillery fire, his soldiers were divided into three groups, two of which dealt with the enemy, and the other group went around outside the battlefield and launched an attack on Huo The attack on the city.
Laxman invested all his troops in the frontal battlefield, and the city of Hoz was just an empty city.
The more than a thousand personal guards around him could not withstand the attack of 20,000 Macedonian soldiers, and Laxman was beheaded.
The Macedonian soldiers hung Laxman's head on the city wall and lit many torches. The Peacock Army in front of them, who were desperately attacking, got the news.
At dawn, the Peacock Army was defeated!
In just one day and one night, the Battle of Hotz Plains ended.
The huge Hotz Plain is still filled with the smoke of war, and there are people and dead people everywhere!
Alexander the Great stood on this plain and watched for a long time, until the sun rose, and then three poles above the sun.
This is the most brutal battle he has encountered so far during his expedition. He still doesn't understand why the enemy is so eager to fight him - they have the rear!
If the enemy's commander was smarter, he would have no choice but to retreat!
The enemy only needs to follow behind you to eat away at your army bit by bit.
In the original strategic concept, such an active attack should be initiated by oneself, so what exactly happened on the enemy's side?
