I’m The King Chapter 600: : hit halfway

Under the sun, on the green grass, several groups of cavalry marched side by side, trampling countless swaying flowers with their horseshoes, and chasing groups of small grass beasts away.

This is an Eastern Hu cavalry who made a detour for a hundred miles to attack Dayan Lake.

Yu Wenke is not a fierce general with no plans. On the contrary, among Donghu, he is known as a wise general. The Pioneer City and Tongwan City that the Eastern Expedition Army inserted on the banks of the Liao River are nothing more than two nails. What is really important is the Wild Goose City that is under construction.

The Eastern Expedition Army set up Dayan County Gaoyuan, and built Dayan City by the Bank of Dayan Lake. Once it is successful, the pioneer city in front, Tongwan City, will have a strong support point, and Zhengdong Mansion can also be used endlessly. When the people immigrated to Dayan County, within two or three years, they could take root around Dayan City. At that time, Dayan City, Pioneer City, and Tongwan City could form an iron triangle. It's hard.

The Dayan City under construction is not the Pioneer City on the banks of the Liao River. It is comparable to the Tongwan City. Compared with the Dayan City, the Pioneer Tongwan City can only be regarded as a larger castle.

More importantly, there are now tens of thousands of civilians by the Dayan Lake, so Yu Wenke gave Yuwen Chui an order to destroy the Dayan City under construction and kill as many civilians there as possible. Killed the courage, and never rushed to the Hetao Plain again.

The Zhengdong Army by the Dayan Lake was defeated, and Pioneer City and Tongwan City immediately became rootless duckweed.

It was Yu Wenke's careful planning to stick the attack time at this point. Earlier, his troops and horses were not in order. In particular, infantry are scarce, and they cannot pose a threat to Pioneer and Tongwan City. Later, the tens of thousands of acres of farmland in Pioneer City will harvest the first season of crops. difficulty.

And right now, just right.

Leading the five thousand cavalry to avoid the eyes and ears of Pioneer City and Tongwan City, Yuwen Chui also took great pains to walk along the Liaohe River. It was not terrible if Xu Yuan found out their purpose and sent his cavalry to stop them, but the plan to raid Dayan City would inevitably go bankrupt. Sun Xiao, who got the news, would inevitably shrink his front line, and it would be difficult to break through the tortoise shells of the infantry of the Eastern Army. More importantly, five thousand fine riders were left. The vanguard, the Zhengdong army that unified the two cities must come out in full force. Now the two armies have more than 20,000 infantry, facing Yuwenke's remaining thousands of cavalry and 10,000 infantry. Yu Wenke didn't have much confidence, not to mention, it was impossible for him to send all the soldiers across the Liao River and the east bank of the Liao River. Troops are still needed.

Right now, Dayan Lake is only two days away, and Yu Wenchui couldn't contain his excitement.

"Report!" The horse's hooves sounded urgently in front. Several sentry cavalry rushed over. "General Yuwen, fifty miles to the left of our army, we found the Eastern Expedition Army, about 5,000 soldiers, and about 500 cavalry. They are advancing towards the Liaohe River."

"Whose flag?"

"Sun, it should be Sun Xiao's unit stationed in Dayan Lake by the Zhengdong Army."

Yu Wenchui was overjoyed, and when he really fell asleep, someone brought him a pillow. With 5,000 soldiers, the Dayan Lake Conquest Army has only 5,000 soldiers in total. It seems that Sun Xiao has come out to support the vanguard to unify Wancheng. It seems that the opponent wants to start a decisive battle with his own army on the banks of the Liao River. , I want to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, so as to establish a security pattern on the west bank of the Liaohe River.

"Uncle, why don't we attack Sun Xiao's troops first, and then go to Dayan City, where there are only some peasants who are vulnerable." Yu Wenke's son, Yu Wenming Before offering advice.

Yu Wenchui stroked his bushy short beard and nodded slightly. Yu Wenke's order was to destroy the enemy troops in the direction of Dayan City, so Sun Xiao's department was naturally within the scope of destruction, and they actually went all out. However, he gave himself a better chance. If he stayed in Dayan City, he would have to spend more time on the contrary.

"Turn to the left and destroy Sun Xiao!" With a wave of Yuwen Chui's hand, thousands of cavalry turned and rushed towards Sun Xiao's command.

Just as the major shareholder, the Hu cavalry, turned to enter, Sun Xiao also got his right direction, and found a large number of detection reports from the East Hu cavalry.

"A large group of Eastern Hu cavalry, not a small group of Rangers?" He tried to calm himself down and asked.

Several sentry cavalry also turned pale, "Commander, there is no mistake, there are so many cavalry that you can't see the side at a glance, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of them."

"There are ten thousand people there!" Sun Xiao scolded angrily. These sentry cavalry lacked experience in fighting Donghu cavalry, so it was difficult to judge the number of opponents. People's nerves, oppressing people's eyeballs, Yu Wenke only had about 10,000 cavalry in Hetao, how could they all appear here? Xu Yuan and Yan Peng are not fools.

There are no ten thousand cavalry, but three or four thousand cavalry are possible. Even if there are only three or four thousand people, the threat to Sun Xiao is already great. retreat? Impossible, for the cavalry, the distance of tens of miles is within a blink of an eye. During the march, the infantry spread out like a long snake.

"Come on!" In the blink of an eye, Sun Xiao had already made up his mind, "Immediately send someone to send a message to Pioneer City and Tongwan City, and the whole army will attack and fight the enemy decisively."

"Obey!" More than a dozen sentry cavalry rushed out towards Pioneer City and Tongwan City. , The enemy army is absolutely empty, Yu Wenke has to stay behind and guard the camp on the east bank, there are at most seven or eight thousand infantry and four or five thousand cavalry attacking these two cities, and the combined forces of Xu Yuan and Yan Peng have nearly two infantry. Ten thousand people, and more than two thousand cavalry.

Watching the back of the sentry cavalry disappear into his eyes, Sun Xiao has calmed down. He knows that he has underestimated his opponent. The battle situation, but the opponent, thought a step deeper. Now, what I have to do is to stick to this place, attract the invading enemies, and then wait for the news of the battlefield between Xu Yuan and Yan Peng in the vanguard city.

"Immediately send a letter back to Dayan Lake and tell Guo Shangshu that there may be an enemy attack, and let him quickly organize the young and strong to prepare for defense." At this time, Sun Xiao is most worried that the opponent will ignore him at all. People and horses, sending troops to attack Dayan Lake, that would be terrible. Although there are tens of thousands of civilians in Dayan Lake, to the army, they are just a group of lambs who have no power to resist. Where they stay, there are only a few hundred guards Soldier.

Now, Sun Xiao only hopes that his attractiveness is strong enough to allow the enemy to deal with him first, thereby buying a little time for Dayan Lake.

Now, he finally understands that when he came to the Hetao Plain, Gao Yuan and Jiang Jiaquan repeatedly told him that he had participated in too few battles. Over the years, Gao Yuan always left him to guard his hometown when he went out on expeditions. Suddenly standing alone, he immediately exposed his own shortcomings and fell into the opponent's scheme.

"The whole army is in formation!" Sun Xiaohuo drew out his saber, "Fight the enemy to the death!"

An hour later, when Yu Wenke appeared in front of Sun Xiao, what he saw was a steel forest, with 5,000 infantry arranged in five square formations, with four outside and one inside, patchwork and neat. Outside the neat phalanx, there were piles of temporarily dug shallow ditches, and the soil was dug out to block the road for the cavalry to attack. In the passages among several phalanxes, cavalry patrolled back and forth. The dull drumbeat was struck rhythmically.

"Yan people like to set up tortoise formations, and this large formation is beautiful upside down, but I don't know if it will work or not!" Yuwen Chui laughed, five thousand cavalry, against five thousand infantry, this battle is very important Big suspense?

"Amin!" he yelled.

"Uncle!" Yu Wenming rode up to his uncle.

"The Yan army's usual style of attack is to hide and defend. When our army launches an attack, we first use the bed crossbow to attack from a long distance, and then use the bow and arrow to cover the shooting. I am used to hitting me and attacking the cavalry. Finally, our army rushed to them. When the infantry was in front, they were no longer in formation, so they would not be able to take advantage of their heavy infantry at this time. If you were the vanguard, how would you plan to fight?"

"Uncle, the enemy's five phalanxes form four corners to protect the central army in the middle. If uncle takes me as the vanguard, I will attack the phalanx in front left first."

"A frontal impact?" Yu Wenchui frowned.

"No, I will order my subordinates to form a column to attack the front corner of the left phalanx. It is impossible for them to deploy bed crossbows in this direction, and the phalanx beside him has a smaller shooting angle. In this way, the casualties of our army during the charge can be minimized, and this front corner is also the connection between the left and right parts of the enemy army, and it is also the weakest point. Breaking this corner can defeat this Phalanx."

"Yeah!" Yuwen Chui nodded gratified~IndoMTL.com~ You are right, and you are very accurate, but this weakness is not shared by all enemy phalanxes, but Sun Xiao's command does not have it. Enough cavalry to cover the flanks, he now has only a few hundred cavalry under his command, which can only be used as a mobile force. If you encounter an enemy army with enough cavalry, your trick will not work. "

"But now, it works!" Yu Wenming grinned.

"Okay, I'll use you as the vanguard and gnaw off this army formation for me." Yuwen Chui laughed loudly, "This is the last enemy army around Dayan Lake, if you eliminate him, Dayan Lake will be like a naked man." Big girl in clothes, you can do whatever you want."

Hearing the shouts from the Donghu army, and looking at the direction where the Donghu cavalry were rushing, Sun Xiao sneered. Yu Wenming saw it very accurately, but they forgot that the Zhengdong Army had a sharp weapon that the Dayan Army did not have. Arms tense. This kind of range and power is inferior to the bed crossbow, but far superior to the long-range strike weapon of the bow and arrow. It is enough to carry out covering shooting, so that any plan of the enemy will be in vain.

"Let the enemy approach and shoot from a distance of 100 steps!" Sun Xiao gave the order. The power of the crossbow is the greatest threat at the first time, but after the opponent is prepared, it will be greatly reduced. Give the enemy a heavy kill. (To be continued..)
