407 [Sweeping] (3)
The Tibetan Front Guards quickly left the battlefield and galloped directly towards the northeast.
This turn of events was so dizzying that Gu Mang and Gao Linfen, who were already in a good mood, almost lost their temper. They were both cavalry commanders, and they were well aware of the brutality and bloodshed after the cavalry confrontation, and they were even mentally prepared for the loss of the front guard.
Heavy preparations, or Pei Yue unexpectedly defeated Ruijin Camp.
Either sad or angry, or excited, after all, these are emotions that soldiers have long understood. I never expected that this kid would dare to play the golden cicada to escape on the battlefield.
Gu Mang shook his head and led his subordinates to quickly approach the army's main formation, waiting for Tang Youzhi's next order. At the same time, he muttered: "I really can't see through your mind."
He had been trapped in Xishan Village during this period and had not received any news from Tang Youzhi, so he could not guess Pei Yue's true strategy for this battle. After seeing the Zangfeng Guards appear, he originally thought that Pei Yue's strategy was the same as before.
The old suspicion formation forced Xie Lin to retain part of his troops in order to smooth the gap in strength between the two armies.
Now it seems that it is not that simple. Otherwise, how could he leave the battlefield with the hidden front guards at this decisive moment? Tang Youzhi would not agree!
Fang Duanwu, who was full of anger, had no time to think of so much. He only knew that his order was to deal with this cavalry. If they were allowed to leave the battlefield and continue to roam outside and raid, Xie Lin would definitely chop off his head.
"Follow them! Kill them all!"
Fang Duanwu immediately ordered, and after a brief adjustment, the Ruijin Battalion followed the Zangfeng Guards away from the battlefield.
Xie Lin did not stop Fang Duanwu's decision. For him, although Ruijin Camp's departure was a loss, it was far from the key to victory or defeat. As long as Fang Duanwu could kill the Tibetan front guards, no changes would occur on this battlefield.
, he can completely defeat Tang Youzhi with the remaining troops in his hands.
"Send the order, the light cavalry on the left and right will circle behind and surround, and the Chinese infantry will move forward to support!"
The herald and flag bearer quickly spread Xie Lin's order throughout the battlefield, and the Xiwu formation began to change for the second time. After a short rest, the two light cavalry that had previously withdrawn began to attack again along the edge of the battlefield. The third
A team of ten thousand infantrymen moved forward to hold the position of the former army comrades, constantly squeezing forward.
At this point, Xie Lin had invested more than half of his 40,000 troops, forming a very large encirclement against Liang Jun.
Tang Youzhi took his time and allowed the opponent's two light cavalry to surround him. The large shield soldiers formed a solid defense line to resist the rain of cavalry arrows from the opponent's cavalry.
Tang Linfen and Gu Mang did not attack this time. Their duty was to protect the flanks of their own infantry formation.
The 15,000 infantrymen of the Longbow Army who rushed in front, faced with a force twice their own, refused to give an inch and fought bloody battles to the end!
The war has reached the most difficult stalemate stage, but Tang Youzhi remains calm. Now on this vast battlefield, he is the only one who knows all the strategies. As the commander of the Longbow Army, his emotions will undoubtedly infect everyone around him, and then
It spread like a wave. Seeing how calm he was, even if the current situation did not look good, the Chinese army did not show any panic.
No one knew that Tang Youzhi's right hand behind his back had been clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.
He glanced toward the northeast and said silently: "Pei Yue, it's up to you."
The Zangfeng Guards were extremely fast. After sacrificing the lives of hundreds of people, they ignored the Ruijin Camp behind them and galloped all the way, as if they wanted to be deserters.
Fang Duanwu would not think so, because this cavalry obviously did not exert its full strength, not to mention that their retreating formation was still very intact at this moment.
The distance between the two elite cavalry was about three or four miles. After leaving the battlefield, they headed northeast and gradually lost sight of the outline of the city wall of Xishan Village. The reason why Fang Duanwu wanted to maintain such a long distance was because he did not fully take advantage of the speed of his own mounts.
, because he knew that the young man was very good at a sinister tactic, pretending to be defeated and then using mounted fire to defeat the pursuers.
In the front line of the Zangfeng Guard, Shang Yu looked back from time to time and said regretfully: "Sir, that guy was not fooled."
Pei Yue smiled softly and said, "I didn't want them to be fooled."
Tani cut
In the brief confrontation just now, he already knew that the Ruijin Battalion had a reputation for having no real warriors and could become Xie Lin's trump card. The combat power of this armored cavalry was indeed stronger than that of the Tibetan front guards. If they pursued too closely, even if they could use Manchu
The ancient evil tactics will cause a certain amount of damage, but will also be completely entangled by the opponent, and then it will become a bad battle.
For the current Zangfeng Guards, even if they have a slight numerical advantage, they are not a direct opponent of the Ruijin Camp.
Fu Hongzhi next to him said calmly: "Old Shang, guess what gift the lord has prepared for these people?"
Shang Yu shook his head slightly and said with complicated eyes: "How can I guess this with my brain? But you, Fu Xiucai, didn't guess it either?"
Fu Hongzhi shrugged and said: "I didn't guess it, but there is someone who is not here at the moment. With Sir Alex's trust in him and his own ability, I think it is a luxury to hope that Ruijin Camp can return alive."
Everyone suddenly realized that Wei Rui was not here.
Each of the five commanders has their own areas of expertise, but whether they are convinced or not, Wei Rui is the most promising star.
He was left in Linqing County by Pei Yue before, presumably preparing a surprise for the Western Wu cavalry.
Pei Yue did not stop their speculations. Anyway, he was walking the dog at the moment, and there was no need to maintain the solemnity and tension of wartime all the time.
The cavalry team of more than 10,000 people was divided into two groups and galloped rapidly on the Gaoyang Plain. After about half an hour, they had traveled nearly seventy miles and were not far from the border of Dongqing Mansion.
A dense forest appeared ahead. Pei Yue suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Slow down!"
As the front army slowed down, the distance between the Tibetan Front Guard and Ruijin Camp began to shorten.
Fang Duanwu was also aware of this change. His pursuit this time was more like driving away. As long as the Tibetan front guards were driven away from the battlefield, when the overall situation at Xishan Village was settled, this cavalry would become a lonely ghost and there was nothing to fear.
Therefore, he did not take advantage of this opportunity to catch up, but ordered him to slow down like the Zangfeng Guards.
After bypassing the dense forest, there was a relatively undulating slope. The Zangfeng Guards suddenly changed direction and seemed to want to lead the Ruijin Camp in a circle. However, when they completed the circle gracefully on the slope, Fang Duanwu saw an infantry appearing in front of him.
.
There are only two thousand people at most.
The strange thing is that this infantry has no archers or shield bearers, and they all hold spears.
Fang Duanwu smiled coldly. He had been wary of an ambush, so he was very careful along the way. However, when he saw the two thousand infantry, his heart finally dropped.
Although this team of infantry looks particularly burly, everyone has a tall and thick build.
But that young powerful man thought he could ambush Ruijin Camp with these people?
What a joke!
"Rush over to me and crush them to death!"
