Among the Tyumen army, Memphis' brows finally relaxed, because the Hetao army's front line was gradually retreating. Although the retreat was slow, there was still improvement after all. It was just the one on the enemy's flank wielding a double-edged sword.
The tough young man with the ax was really too brave. Under his bloody massacre, although the cavalry formation in Hetao had gradually retreated, he never retreated half a step. This also caused the cavalry in Hetao to regard him as
The door axis slowly rotated, and half an hour later, the Memphis army had slowly moved to the bank of the river. However, Iron Eagle's horizontal stone Hassan was still blocked by the Honor Army, although the two armies were already far away from each other.
Hope, but just can't realize the reunion.
During the fierce battle, Feng Jing carefully controlled the rhythm of the battlefield. The entire battlefield was centered around the letter, and the army began to rotate at a slow speed. However, when Qiu Meng's army moved with its back to the river, Feng Jing resolutely
He stopped his steps, even if the Qiuming soldiers invaded like fire, they could not move forward even half a step.
Memphis frowned again. It was obvious that the opponent's good grasp of the battlefield made him feel a bit of pressure. He was not a foolhardy man. In fact, among the nomads, only one person who could lead an army except
People like Waller who have nepotism or are favored by the chief of the tribe and stick to one side are all cunning and cunning people. Among the nomads, their power changes and survival rules are more bloody, naked, and empty than the civilization of the Central Plains.
People who have force but no brains may be used as gun users by others at some point, and they will be killed mercilessly after using them. So although Memphis and Hassan Hengseishi may seem rough, they are both clear-minded.
People, especially the Iron Eagle tribe who are among Iron Eagle and Rouran, Memphis is able to maintain the prosperity of Qiu Ming on its own, so it is natural that it has its own merits.
"The situation is not good." Memphis looked at the melee army and said to himself.
"General, now we have gradually gained the upper hand. The terrain here is flat and there is no way for the enemy to ambush. I wonder what the general is worried about?" Deputy Tiucle asked strangely.
Memphis shook his head: "Tiukele, don't underestimate your opponent at any time. Although the opponent's coach Haotian was unknown in the Qingfeng Empire before, he was able to sweep across the Hetao with a thousand cavalry and annihilate all the enemies including Mandan.
Many generals, including the famous general Yelu Zhaochang, robbed millions of civilians from the hands of the Northeastern Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. Such figures are by no means ordinary people. Have you noticed that although the other party is retreating, they
There has been no confusion in their formation, and their central army has not been dispatched."
Tiuclet was shocked and said in horror: "General, do you suspect that the other party is deceitful?"
Memphis nodded: "Yes. You immediately send an order to the rear army to keep Dominic's 20,000 cavalry in formation and slowly leave the battlefield. Since the other party is not trying its best, we don't need to fight desperately."
At this moment, a group of Tyumen cavalry suddenly rushed over from the south. Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Memphis's face suddenly changed, and he quickly waved his hand to Tiucle to take the group of cavalry to his own.
before.
"General Qi, Huangzhou has been lost. General Mengbai and the 10,000 soldiers who stayed behind have been wiped out!" A cavalryman gasped.
Memphis' face darkened: "What's going on? Didn't I remind Mengbo to be more careful before leaving? How could ten thousand cavalry be wiped out like this? Then how did you rush out?"
The cavalryman took a few deep breaths, and then said with a frustrated face: "After the general led the army to leave the city, General Mengbai ordered the soldiers below to step up patrols. Considering that the Hetao army was in the battle of Wangjin Ferry that day,
The damage was huge, and the Song family on the Yinping Ancient Road has always been cunning and cunning, so the general focused most of his attention on the Yizhou Road."
Memphis raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the ones who attacked Huangzhou were not the Song family's troops, but the Haotian tribe in Hetao?"
"Exactly." The soldier nodded: "It was Dingzhou Li Xiao's city defense troops who attacked. With the cooperation of the intelligence agency, they first pretended to be merchants and occupied the northern city gate, which was the least defended.
General Bai and the main force were transferred outside the city. As a result, under the siege of the opponent's superior force, General Mengbai died in the battle. His subordinates also escaped under the cover of many brothers risking their lives."
After listening to the soldiers' narration, Memphis finally understood the whole story. It was obvious that Li Xiao had planned for Huangzhou for a long time. The entire army of 50,000 city defense troops stationed in Dingzhou actually came out. Under the cover of Soul Eater,
He used various means to cross the river in one night. However, after occupying the north gate, Li Xiao did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he falsely reported the battle situation and told Meng Bai's 30,000 soldiers of the Song family.
They are secretly passing through the Yinping Ancient Road, preparing to attack Huangzhou. If this were in normal times, Meng Bai would naturally be dreaming of it. With the exception of the White Ear Corps, the young men on Yizhou Road are no match for their elite cavalry. But now it is so huge
There are only ten thousand cavalry left in Huangzhou City, and the opponent's army can still come from Yazhou through the Yinping Ancient Road. After thinking for a long time, Mengbai finally decided to strike first and prepared to lead his army to ambush him halfway.
.
What Meng Bai didn't expect was that as soon as his army left Huangzhou, Li Xiao's army completed the siege of him. In order to achieve the surprise of the ambush, Meng Bai deliberately chose the ambush location in a small area.
In the woods, Li Xiao obviously followed the bloodthirsty style of killing Dugu and others in Hetao. After 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry surrounded the small woods tightly, they threw several numbers into it without hesitation.
Hundreds of torches. It was already winter, and the dead branches and leaves in the grove had already dried up. After a burst of fire, except for a few lucky Tyumen cavalry who broke through the encirclement, almost all the rest were burned to death in the woods.
However, perhaps because he was worried that the Song family would be in trouble again, Li Xiao did not immediately go north to join forces with Haotian's army. Instead, after deploying 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry in Huangzhou, he led the remaining 20,000 infantry through Wangjin.
The ferry returned to Dingzhou. The Song family on Yizhou Road has always been insidious and cunning. Li Xiao has learned from this once and definitely doesn't want it to happen again.
"Li Xiao." Memphis muttered the name with some bitterness. Among the Qiuming army, Meng Bai was not an outstanding general, but he could safely place him in this position in Huangzhou, which also showed that he had
Two brushes. But what he didn't expect was that he was eaten by Li Xiao so easily. This made him sad and made him extremely vigilant. Among the many generals in Hetao, Li Xiao was not particularly outstanding.
Although the Battle of Wangjin Ferry made him famous, he is still different from the bloody murderer with extraordinary strategy, the wise and courageous Feng Jing, the unstoppable letter, the indomitable Dugu, the rock-steady Bian Zhongxing and others.
Compared with, he is still far behind. But such a person can actually slap himself so beautifully. It seems that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Hetao army. In the past, Memphis only thought that the Hetao army
The only two people who can fight with him are Dugu and Bian Zhongxing. Although the three people who killed him are brave, they have never fought against each other. Memphis does not think very highly of them. But now it seems that they are just a ranking below them.
Li Xiao, the second-rate general in Hetao, has such ability, and these people in front of him are definitely good players.
Seeing Memphis frowning, Tiukele stepped forward and said, "Commander, what should we do now?" He was originally very confident in this battle, but the fall of Huangzhou cost them the most important thing.
Logistics base. Although Bingzhou is still in its own hands, if faced with the north-south attack from the Hetao soldiers, without enough troops, Bingzhou will inevitably be in danger. And if you want to go north to join forces with Tieying, you must first break through the Hetao army.
Block. But will Haotian let him get his wish?
Memphis's eyes narrowed slightly. The current situation was very unfavorable to him. If this were summer and autumn, he would not be afraid even if he was at a disadvantage. But it was already winter, and it was the right time on the prairie.
Due to the icy and snowy conditions, the herdsmen in the tribe are now preparing to spend the winter. Under this situation, the Tyumen tribe cannot organize too many reinforcements. In the eyes of the farming people, the nomadic people have always been aggressive and all the people are armed, but the Tyumen 130
Among the population of 10,000, the only real elite soldiers are the 100,000 standing army guarding the city of Rhona and the private soldiers of the tribal chiefs. The army in his hands also exists because of the need to garrison Hexi Road for a long time. This has already accounted for the tribal standing army
One-third of the number. Moreover, since Haotian can raise troops to march westward, it means that he must have something to rely on. And now that Yumen Pass has been blocked by Haotian, even if reinforcements are mobilized from Luona City and come through Jiayuguan, then
It will take at least half a month. And this half month is enough to eliminate the corpses of tens of thousands of people.
"Tiucle," Memphis waved his hand and said softly: "Go and command the army yourself. If the situation changes, immediately lead the army to retreat to the west."
Tiucle was confused. He didn't understand why Memphis had such an idea. He couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "General, why do we want to go west? Bingzhou is still in our hands. Even if we want to retreat,
We can also head northwest and try our best to join forces with the Iron Eagle tribe. Besides, we still don’t know who will win in this battle."
Memphis shook his head: "The opponent's plan is so thorough and the timing is so appropriate. Even if we win this battle, it will be difficult to restore the decline of the battlefield. Tactical success is not enough to restore strategic failure.
, we and Tie Ying have now lost our logistics base, and if we want to return to the outside of the Great Wall from the northwest, the only ones that can allow large groups of people to pass are Yumen Pass in Shazhou and Jiayuguan in Xizhou. Now that Yumen Pass has fallen, for today
The only plan is to retreat westward to Anxi Road, and Rouran and Rouran have already dealt with it together. If that doesn't work, we can also return to the prairie via Jiayuguan. Although there is some gap between us and Rouran, we are of the same clan after all, and they don't want to come either.
It will add insult to injury."
As the most famous general of Tyumen, Memphis' grasp of the overall situation did have an intuition cultivated on the battlefield. Dominic's 20,000 cavalry had just withdrawn from the battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield changed.
I saw a firework suddenly rising in Haotian's camp. Before the fireworks had dissipated, the same firework followed from the south of the battlefield, and then there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves. One side was huge.
The flag rustled in the wind of the river. On the flag, there was a big word "Li" embroidered on it. It was obvious that this was the only cavalry of Li Xiao in Dingzhou. And a boat suddenly appeared on the river.
There is a heroic female general standing on the flagship of the fleet. Next to the female general, there is a large flag with Chinese characters. It is Zhang Yuewan's Huai River Navy, and it was also the naval fleet that Zhang Cangxiong gave to Haotian as a dowry. And the ship
The team carried 10,000 cavalrymen originally stationed at Fengling Ferry Situ Lie in Shizhou. They quickly disembarked and went ashore, and then together with Li Xiao's cavalry, they attacked the Memphis main formation from the south and the north.
"Withdraw!" Memphis didn't hesitate at all. He waved the flag and personally led 10,000 cavalrymen and Dominic's 20,000 cavalrymen to rush out diagonally. Before the armies of Situ Lie and Li Xiao had time to encircle them,
He fled to the west. When Hengshi Hassan saw this, he also knew that nothing could be done. He secretly lowered the flag of the general and led his 10,000 cavalry. He resolutely abandoned the fighting Iron Eagle Cavalry and followed Memphis
He followed the direction and fled.
When Haotian and others saw their actions, they all let out a long sigh. Apart from regret, they couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the two. Although the difference in numbers between the two armies was not very big, the current battle situation was also at a draw.
.However, with the sudden appearance of Li Xiao and Situ Lie's 20,000 cavalry, Tieying and Qiu Ming were undoubtedly defeated. Due to Fengjing's keen grasp of the battlefield, Tie Ying Hetao and Qiu Ming originally fought in a rosary shape along the river, but
As the battlefield progressed, it gradually became Qiu Ming's back to the river, and the Iron Eagle tribe attacked the Hetao in a vertical direction. Originally, under the two-line attack, it was not without its own strength. But now Hengshi Hassan's army was defeated
Jiang Chenzhou blocked it, and Memphis's army was unable to break through the defense lines of Fengjing and Xinke. After Li Xiao and Situ Lie arrived, Memphis became attacked from both sides. Zhang Yuewan, with the medium and long-range attack weapons on the ship, could not only cover Situ Lie's
The cavalry landed, and could also cause serious damage to the rear army in Memphis. Haotian's headquarters still maintains a certain reserve force. If the opponent really makes dumplings, the whole army will be wiped out. A strong man will cut off his wrist, and he will be seriously injured.
In Judgment, although Memphis and Hengshi Hassan left tens of thousands of cavalry behind, they finally retained some of their effective strength. And in the empty Northwest Second Road, it would be troublesome if these tens of thousands of cavalry were allowed to wander.
.
With the escape of the two Memphis men, without excellent commanding generals, the combat effectiveness of the nomadic soldiers obviously began to decline, and with the ebb and flow of morale, tens of thousands of cavalry were quickly annihilated. At this time, Memphis and
Hengshi Hassan's 40,000 cavalry had already fled without a trace.
