The Sacred Ding Chapter 252: Draw the snake out of the hole

Moyue Lake is one of the three horse thieves in the depths of the northern desert of the Western Qiang Kingdom. At its peak, it had more than four thousand soldiers and horses. It is located more than a thousand miles southwest of Jinxiangling.

At this time, the allied forces were fighting, and the two leaders of Moyue Lake led 1,800 horse bandits to the Songyang Lake confluence, which meant that there were more than two thousand elites left behind in the Moyue Lake cottage.

If Yequ Mountain’s soldiers and horses recruited the remnants of Jinxiangling, and the nearly five thousand horses of infantry training had preliminary results, they might be able to fight in Moyue Lake, but at this time, the invaders ordered the remaining soldiers in the small and medium thief villages. The horses all gathered in Moyue Lake and Guhuo Mountain, which means that the Moyue Lake they will choose to attack may gather four thousand or even more elite horse bandits.

Although they have five thousand-horse infantry troops, they still cannot be used as the main force; and the Yequshan soldiers and horses recruited the Jinxiangling remnants, and there are more than five hundred elite cavalry. How to fight this battle?

After reading the letter sent by Hu Junhu and Lingying, Fan Dachun and others have figured out Zhu Kou's first dynamics, and watched Chen Hai waiting for him to make a decision.

Chen Hai outlined the geographic locations of Heishanzhai, Jinxiangling, Moyue Lake, Guhuo Mountain and other places on a piece of yellowed fluffy paper, and supplemented the main topography according to Fan Dachun and Deng Tonger’s descriptions complete.

In the depths of the vast desert, in addition to a little oasis, it is not all sand seas, but more gobi deserts and barren rocky mountains and ridges, but the ups and downs are small, and there are no large forests and rivers. Therefore, it is the world of cavalry.

"Should someone go to Moyue Lake by Lingying for reconnaissance first, and find out how many soldiers and horses there are in Moyue Lake?" Deng Tonger suggested.

Chen Hai shook his head and said, "Anyway, there are more soldiers and horses in Moyue Lake than expected, and it will be quite difficult to attack the village again. If the spirit hawks are sent rashly over, the thieves will actually know. Their details have been leaked."

"What should I do?" Fan Dachun asked, "Retreat to the Black Mountain Village?"

Fan Dachun has won two consecutive victories, and Fan Dachun is not so courageous. Thinking of retreating to the Black Mountain Village and watching the situation, it is still a good choice.

Even if Kong Peng and other thieves and the internal thieves of the Western Qiang Kingdom succeeded in subverting the Ye clan, they still had six or seven thousand soldiers and horses in their hands to defend, and they could not fight against the elite horse thieves. After seeing Chen Hai's various methods, Fan Dachun Believe that they will stick to the Black Mountain Village where the city is strong and dangerous, there is still no problem.

"We did not appear as a spirit eagle. We are here for three more days. However, you directly led five hundred spirits to ride to Moyue Lake, then retreated to the east in panic and fled to the Black Mountain Village. We are in Shiyue Gorge. Convergence," Chen Hai said to Fan Dachun, pointing to a barren mountain and stone gorge between Heishanzhai and Moyue Lake on the crude map, "As long as the thieves who gather in Moyue Lake are not reconciled, let us guard the Heishanzhai, then we Fight against this bandit in Shiyuexia."

"Fight with the horse bandit?" Fan Dachun and Deng Tonger looked at Chen Hai in disbelief.

They thought about all kinds of possibilities, but the battle between five or six thousand horse infantry troops with extremely reluctant combat power and three or four thousand elite horse bandits in the flat stone ridge desert is definitely not something they can imagine.

"For a good time, the horse infantry can rush to Shiyuexia one day in advance to rest, and the chasing soldiers are arrogant," Chen Hai squeezed his fist and said, "This battle, we may not have no chance to win!"

"Even if there is a chance to win, wouldn't the chance of defending the black cottage be greater?" Fan Dachun asked puzzled.

"Zhukou can make the soldiers and horses of many small and medium thief villages gather in Moyue Lake and Guhuo, which means that the horse thief forces in the northern part of West Qiang will be completely united," Chen Hai said. Hei Shanzhai, there is no worry for the time being, but let the thieves contact the internal and external eunuchs and successfully steal the West Qiang country. When the time comes, seven or eighty thousand soldiers will attack the Black Shanzhai. What chance do we have?"

After hearing what Chen Hai said, Fan Dachun and Deng Tonger took a deep breath, thinking about it in their hearts, thinking that the past habits of the bandits are really going to the point where they have to abandon their nests, and they should also order the soldiers to stay behind. The horse rushed to Yequ Mountain to join the main force with the belongings accumulated over the years. How could it be possible to bring the belongings into the nest of others and be controlled by others?

Now that this anomaly appears, it is very likely that it is just like Chen Hai said that all the bandits must unite completely.

This is no surprise. As long as Black Mountain Wuzun Kong Peng can convince the bandits that the subversion of the Western Qiang State will be successful, and after success, all bandits will have the title of glory and wealth, and they will be able to give up what they see. Some small interests are united more closely.

In that case, the horse thieves in the northern part of the Western Qiang Kingdom alone have gathered more than 30,000 elite horse thieves. Coupled with their success in subverting the Western Qiang Kingdom, the soldiers and horses that will eventually come to attack the black cottage will be difficult to estimate. They It will be difficult to guard the black cottage again.

In order to keep the war horses still able to maintain sufficient physical strength after crossing the sand sea for more than a thousand miles, and avoid being caught up and besieged by thieves in the depths of the sand sea before reaching Shiyue Gorge, Fan Dachun and Ning When Cicada and the others set out, they also carried two thousand catties of stone mist honey.

Two thousand catties of stone mist honey is worthy of the city, and it is not a human service to carry it with the army. Instead, it is mixed with horse material and fed to the horse to ensure that the horse can pass through the vast sand and sea to ensure sufficient physical strength.

Fan Dachun led his troops to the outskirts of Moyue Lake, and the sentry confirmed that the number of thieves gathered outside Moyue Lake far exceeded the originally expected more than 2,000 remaining soldiers in Moyue Lake. Fan Dachun did not hesitate to take the lead. Escape to the southeast.

As expected by Chen Hai, there are more than 4,000 thieves who gathered in Moyue Lake. How can the strong and strong horses allow Yequ Mountain's five or six hundred horses to withdraw calmly?

Immediately there were three or four thousand horses galloping out of the city in the Moshan Lake, chasing after the tail, like a black cloud group, passing through the sand sea, sweeping in the southeast direction. At the same time, the bandits also sent a large number of scouts to Search for the enemy in the direction of Jinxiangling.

Previously, the Yequshan soldiers and horses attacked the Black Falcon Cliff and Jinxiangling Villages. They were all cavalry first. The main force of the horse infantry rushed to the outside of the cottage two to three days later. This time, since they saw that Fan Dachun led hundreds of elite cavalry soldiers just approaching, they fled in a hurry, guessing that the main force of the thousands of horses must also drag a lot of siege equipment on the way to Moyue Lake.

Chen Hai and Fan Dachun really want to lead five or six thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city. The invaders of the Moyue Lake will not rush to attack. After all, siege and pull out the city are not good for horse thieves, but Chen Hai is a slave and a prisoner. The five or six thousand weak soldiers selected, dared to enter the boundless sea of ​​sand, and no matter how timid and uneasy the Moyue Lake bandits were, how could they escape back to the Black Mountain Village?

The reconnaissance sent by the Kou Kou of Moyue Lake found the horse infantry in Yequ Mountain on the second day. At the same time, it was also discovered that the horse infantry in Yequ Mountain had collected more than 5,000 horses from prisoners and slaves. Siege equipment and food supplies were thrown into the middle of the desert, and fled to the Black Mountain Village in panic to the south.

The main force of the invaders of the Moyue Lake, after staring at the five or six hundred cavalrymen under Fan Dachun, obtained the detective report, and it can also be confirmed that the two soldiers and horses in Yequshan want to join together and fight and retreat. Go to the black cottage and refuse to defend.

The walled city of Heishanzhai is completely different, but the wall is intact. How can the bandits of Moyue Lake allow the five or six thousand soldiers and horses of Yequ Mountain to withdraw to Heishanzhai?

The time when Fan Dachun appeared on the periphery of Moyue Lake was deliberately arranged by Chen Hai. At about the same time, Chen Hai led an army of five thousand horses on the route from Jinxiangling to Moyue Lake. Moreover, it was also the closest geographical location to Shiyuexia, less than 300 miles away. In this way, when performing this play to lead the snake out of the cave, the five-thousand-horse infantry will abandon the large equipment and excess food and luggage, and only need to go south for a day to enter the preset battlefield.

When Moyuehu reconnaissance found the main force of the horse infantry force, it was actually not far from Shiyuexia. At this time, hundreds of Moyuehu scouts were on the spot, and Chen Hai led his troops into Shiyuexia, which was more like a defense. Hundreds of enemy riders attacked the horse infantry from the flanks.

Fan Dachun led the six hundred elite riders not to flee all the way, but to use the rugged stone ridges and sand dunes from Moyue Lake to Shiyue Gorge to slow down the pace of the chasing troops as much as possible to give the horse infantry more It was not until the early morning of the third day that he arrived at Shiyue Gorge and joined the horse infantry led by Chen Hai.

Shiyue Gorge is located in the depths of the boundless sea of ​​sand. The canyon is like a long and narrow crescent. The narrowest part is less than two to three hundred meters, and the wide valley is only one or two miles.

The stone ridges on both sides of the Shixia are not very high, ranging from about one to two hundred feet to three to four hundred feet, but they are extremely rugged, which can limit the elite horse riding of the bandits and thieves from the flanks. Cut into the Macedonian spear phalanx~IndoMTL.com~ Except for the twenty hundred teams, they all have five-meter super-long iron spears, and they are mixed with the archers to form four Macedonian spear phalanxes guarding the four corners of the Shiyue Gorge. The gaps in the sword and shield formations left narrow passages on the two wings, which could restrict enemy horses from outflanking them, but could allow more than six hundred horses on Yequ Mountain to quickly leave the formation and engage the enemy from the flanks.

Even in the formation, there are still six stone throwing crossbows that have been assembled, and hundreds of stone bullets are neatly stacked to one side.

The bandits of Moyue Lake almost laughed their teeth when they saw the horse infantry in Yequ Mountain holding an ultra-long iron spear that was much taller than normal. These super-long iron spears, the spear shafts are temporarily lengthened, that is, a large number of Populus wood rods are re-cut, and they are tied together with ordinary iron spears. Only such super-long iron spears, apart from the simplest stabbing, are basically What can it be worth without performing more complex tactical moves?

The invaders of the Moyue Lake also saw that the super-long iron spear would limit the impact of the cavalry. At this time, more than two thousand people were arranged to raise their swords and shields and dismount to fight.

In the eyes of the bandits of Moyue Lake, the horse infantry in Yequ Mountain is not even as good as the servants of the Western Qiang Kingdom. There are two thousand elites who dismount and fight, which is enough to make these little-known slaves fly in blood. There are more than a thousand horses left to guard against the six hundred fine horses led by Fan Dachun from the formation.

When more than two thousand bandits in Moyue Lake came up with swords, shields, halberds and spears, the Korean who was in charge of the two spear phalanx at the front should wave the flag and order the first five rows of the spear phalanx to be densely packed. Paste them together, raise the spear and push forward.

The bandits of Moyue Lake have never seen this kind of warfare, especially the more than two thousand horse bandits who dismounted to fight. Only then did they realize that they were not facing the forefront generals and spears. The first four to five columns of Yequ Mountain’s densely stacked spear wall, like a stormy wave, pushed one after another to their relatively loose and conceited battle formation...
