Chapter 306 The Taihang Storm Rises Again VIII [Unban]
Chapter 306: Taihang Storm Resurfaces (8) [Lifting the Ban]
Zhan Shutang gritted his teeth fiercely: "This Leng Fangbu is really a rabbit. He ran away as soon as he saw something was wrong. Xin Shuai, what should we do now?"
Xin Ke also had an angry look on his face. He didn't expect that Leng Fangbu's sense of smell was so sensitive. Now that Leng Fangbu has escaped, he will definitely send someone to notify Yelu Chixian on the Wuzhou front line. If Yelu Chixian is careless,
After going out and joining Leng Fangbu's 50,000-strong army, Fengjing might be in danger over there.
Xin Ke took a breath: "The army will go north immediately. If it encounters Leng Fangbu's army, ignore him for the time being. First, join Feng Shuai's army to eradicate Yelu Chixian!"
Yelu Chixian was shocked as soon as he received the summons from Leng Fangbu. He had no idea that the nearly 100,000 elite soldiers and generals of Hejimul'er when he went on the expedition would be attacked by more than 100,000 cavalry from Xinke and Xue Qingcheng.
The defeated generals retreated to Jinzhou with tens of thousands of remaining soldiers. Fortunately, Leng Fangbu was smart, otherwise his 50,000 troops would have been fed into Xinke's mouth. What should we do now?
Yelu Chi walked around the commander's camp irritably, and said to Yelu Wanhong, Yelu Chengfeng and Xiao Shicheng beside him: "What suggestions do you have?"
Yelu Wanhong lowered his head quietly. At first, he was firmly sure that there were about 50,000 cavalry lurking behind his camp in Hetao, so Yelu Chixian neither dared to divide his troops and rush south to aid Hekimur, nor did he dare to give Xiao Shicheng too many troops.
Testing Fengjing's authenticity. In the end, Xiao Shicheng had to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Fengjing's camp. Fengjing was also one of the five generals in Hetao, and he had more than 100,000 troops under his command. Although Xiao Shicheng was quite strategic, he ultimately failed
More than 10,000 cavalry were left in front of the Hetao army. This was the result of Xiao Shicheng's broken wrist.
Xiao Shicheng looked at Hekimu'er's back expressionlessly, but there was a look of gloating in his eyes. Although he lost more than 10,000 elite cavalry, he was still able to find out the reality of the Hetao army to some extent.
But at this time, Leng Fangbu's messengers had already arrived at the military camp. Yelu Chixian already knew the news of Hekimur's defeat and the large-scale attack by the Hetao cavalry. Although Yelu Chixian was still calm, he kept watching him.
The way he was walking around, it was obvious that he was also hesitant in his heart.
Yelu Chengfeng looked around and found that no one was talking, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Commander, the general believes that our situation has been reversed now. The more than 100,000 soldiers who have been worshiped have blocked our way forward, and
Hekimur's army was defeated, and our garrison was all concentrated on the front line of Wuzhou. This means that there is no one soldier stationed in the other three states. If the Hetao cavalry takes the opportunity to sweep across our territory, then..."
Yelv Chixian frowned. Not to mention the Taihang Road, there are now only 100,000 troops stationed on the north bank of the river, not to mention the Taihang Road. There are only 100,000 troops stationed on the north bank of the river, and there are only 100,000 troops stationed on the Donghai Road in Haixi. It is believed that there were originally 20,000 troops.
He can gallop freely in the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. Now Xinke has no less than one hundred thousand cavalry under his command. If he really takes the risk, the Sixteenth State of Youyun will be turned upside down by him and he will move to the Sixteenth State of Youyun.
The five million people of the three northeastern countries will probably also shed their blood in rivers.
Yelu Chixian also wanted to retreat to Wuzhou from the bottom of his heart. His task was only to contain the army in Hetao. If the losses were too great, then why would he pose a threat to Hetao in the future? But such a retreat would not save face.
It makes no sense.
"Shicheng!" Yelu Chixian shouted in a low voice.
Xiao Shicheng lowered his head and let out a breath. He didn't expect that this matter would still fall on him. But now that the matter had come to this, he had to speak: "Commander, the general believes that we should concentrate all our forces now and attack Feng Feng by surprise.
Jing's army. If Hetao Xinji and the cavalry are chasing them, Leng Fangbu's army will be the first to intercept them. Sooner or later, the Hetao army will go south. The cavalry is suitable for charging into the formation to attack the city and seize the territory. The infantry is the backbone of the war and the main force to defend the pass. If
We have defeated Fengjing's army of more than 100,000, or disabled them. In order to prevent our attack, they must dispatch troops from Hetao to supplement them. Then they have no hope of dispatching a large number of troops southward.
We have to break through. Although we will suffer greater losses in this way, the losses in the Hetao will be greater in comparison. And as long as the Hetao cannot mobilize troops to go south, the situation south of the river will be irreversible."
After saying that, Xiao Shicheng secretly glanced at Yelv Chixian. His plan was clear: let Leng Fangbu be used as cannon fodder to resist the cavalry in Hetao, and use a lose-lose method to defeat the infantry in Hetao. Strategically speaking, this is indeed the case.
A good choice, but it is indeed very difficult for Yelu Chixian to make such a decision. He understands what Yelu Chixian is thinking very well. For this veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, he
What I hope most is to be prudent and prudent.
However, although Xiao Shicheng had considerable military attainments, he did not have much knowledge in politics. How could he understand what Yelv Chixian was thinking.
After three years of fighting with Hetao, Mandan has lost nearly 200,000 elite troops, and now its total strength has dropped to 700,000. Adding in Yelu Minghui's lost troops south of the river, Mandan has lost 200,000 elite troops.
Dan's current strength is not as abundant as it was at the beginning. What Xiao Shicheng said is simple, but if this is really the case, then his own army of more than 100,000 plus Leng Fangbu's 50,000 soldiers may not have much left. That way
If so, the Mandan's total strength is only over 500,000, and there is no need to worry about self-protection. However, it is completely impossible to continue the offensive and sweep across Henan.
But if he retreats and the Hetao army moves its troops south, then the first ones to bear the brunt will be Kasimbas and the Holy Sect of Paradise. In the end, the Northeastern Three Kingdoms and the Holy Sect of Paradise are just a cooperative relationship. After Qingfeng is completely disabled, both parties will
I am afraid that the cooperative relationship will break down, and it will be difficult to distinguish whether the two sides are friends or foes. As for Cassimbas’s northeastern army, the main forces are Baijing and Haixi anyway. Even if the situation is not right, Cassimbas will have to mobilize
The army is also drawn from the nearest Beiyuan Road and Haixi Road. That is the territory of Baijing and Haixi. If Kasimbas can lead his Baijing Haixi army to fight with Hetao Haopo, both sides will lose, then naturally, both sides will lose.
It's the best. Of course, if the Loop can kill Cassimbas without hesitation, that would be the best thing. In that case, the three Northeastern countries will once again return to the era when Mandan was respected.
"Shicheng, do you think Qingfeng is still capable of confronting our Paradise Alliance?" Yelvchi asked with a straight face.
Xiao Shicheng was very confused, but since Yelu Chixian asked, he still answered honestly: "The general believes that Qingfeng's failure is only a matter of time. When Kashuai sweeps Qingfeng's Yuzhou Road, Qingfeng will definitely be defeated.
"
Yelu Chixian smiled slightly: "Then what will happen if we put the Hetao army down Yuzhou Road?"
Xiao Shicheng narrowed his eyes: "What does the commander mean by letting the Loop fight with them? Both sides will suffer?"
Xiao Shicheng's words were rather vague. Yelu Chengfeng and Yelu Wanhong both looked confused. Only Yelu Chi nodded with relief.
Yelu Chixian nodded: "Pass the commander's order to withdraw all the army from Wuzhou City. Shicheng, you lead 50,000 cavalry to go south immediately. Leng Fangbu's current situation is not optimistic. If they are overtaken by the Hetao cavalry inscribed in the letter,
, even if Leng Fangbu has three heads and six arms, he probably won't be able to escape the pursuit of the Hetao cavalry. You have to ensure that Leng Fangbu reaches Wuzhou safely. If that doesn't work, I give you the right to make on-the-spot decisions."
Xiao Shicheng was shocked: "Commander, if the last general takes away 30,000 cavalry, then there will be less than 20,000 cavalry in the camp. Opposite is Fengjing, who is the best at attacking among the five generals in Hetao.
Handsome, you have to be careful."
Yelu Chixian smiled and replied: "Don't worry, there is no cavalry in Fengjing. It is simply impossible to pursue us with infantry."
Nothing is impossible in the world, and Fengjing has now taught the elderly Yelu Chixian a good lesson.
After learning that Yelv Chixian's entire army was retreating, Fengjing ordered the pursuit almost without hesitation. Facing the 20,000 cavalrymen behind Yelvchixian, Fengjing actually led the army with Wu Xiaolangjun as the vanguard.
Twenty thousand infantrymen pursued one after another. As soon as the Mandan cavalry stopped, the Hetao infantrymen immediately defended on the spot. Situ Lie and Lano respectively led 20,000 infantrymen to outflank them.
As soon as he saw the opponent's army retreating, Feng Jing already knew that Xingke's side had succeeded. In this case, he might as well hold off Yelu Chixian's army as much as possible. Of course, it was impossible to keep Yelu Chixian's army.
Yes, but as long as possible, Feng Jing will be satisfied. As soon as the Xingeng army comes, it will be the time for the Mandan army to bury the bones.
Yelv Chixian didn't expect Fengjing's stickiness to be so strong. Although the cavalry was highly mobile, Fengjing caught up with him without hesitation with only the infantry in his hands.
The 20,000 cavalrymen were overwhelmed.
Bad news came one after another. First, the former army led by Yelu Wanhong was unexpectedly surprised by Henghui's 500 cavalry ambushing behind the camp. Although Henghui and Zhang Ba only brought more than 30 remaining soldiers with them in the end.
They escaped, but in the chaos, no fewer than three thousand soldiers died at the hands of Fengjing's soldiers. The number of soldiers killed was not many, but the blow to morale was huge.
Although this made Yelu Chixian shocked and angry, what made Yelu Chixian even more angry was that although Leng Fangbu was fast enough, Xinke and Xue Qingcheng were not slow either. Leng Fangbu's army was within a thousand miles of each other.
When the city was less than thirty miles away, they were finally overtaken by the rolling Hetao cavalry. Fortunately, Xiao Shicheng's cavalry arrived in time, but faced with 150,000 elite cavalry, even Xiao Shicheng and Leng Fangbu were both Manchu and Manchu.
There are few generals in the Danish army, but in this situation, not to mention them, even Cassimbas can't resist the tidal wave of attacks.
Yelu Chixian was frightened and angry at this time, but now that the situation was over, the only thing he could do was to do his best to maintain his defense line and retreat the army back to Wuzhou City as safely as possible.
Fortunately, Leng Fangbu was worthy of being a famous gecko among the Mandan military. At the critical moment, he showed his ability to cut off his tail to the fullest. He threw all the infantry in his hands out in one breath to resist the Hetao cavalry.
Charged, and he led 20,000 intact cavalry together with Xiao Shicheng who came to respond, and easily got rid of the pursuit of the Hetao cavalry.
