Yelv Mingxiang died in battle, and both Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Bianhuang felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads. Yelu Canglang always had a bad temper. If they knew that their only son actually died in battle, then Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Bianhuang would definitely die.
It was very ugly. Now, the only thing the two of them could do was to defeat Feng Jing in front of them, otherwise they would not be able to explain to Yelu Canghai and others.
But Fengjing felt that something was wrong.
Although Lan Gaoping's 30,000 cavalrymen tried their best, there were too many Mandan people who came to grab food, and the cavalry was easy to attack but not defensive, so there would always be many fish that slipped through the net. Fortunately, Henghui still led 10,000 cavalrymen.
Sitting behind, there is no danger for the time being. But if this trend continues, it will be a matter of time before the defense line is broken through. And although Fengjing himself gave Xiao
Shicheng and others suffered huge damage, but he was also restrained by the opponent. The most important thing was that Fengjing was reluctant to risk his own men and dyed his medal red with the blood of the soldiers. This was something that the Hetao generals were not ashamed of.
Therefore, even on a fierce battlefield, the first thing the Hetao generals thought about was how to reduce their own casualties.
"Zhang Ba, immediately send reliable personnel to see where Xin Shuai's Qinglong Legion is now. Why has he not arrived yet despite such a big movement on our side!" Feng Jing frowned.
Underestimating the enemy.
Fengjing knew very well why he was in a dilemma this time. The main reason was that the Hetao side underestimated the enemy. Fengjing deployed a strict scout network from Mifeng City to Jiming Post Road, but Xiao Shicheng actually asked Xiao Shicheng to drive a group of
Only when the common people were killed in front of him did he realize that this was simply unimaginable in Fengjing's view. Even if there was luck involved, the negligence of Hetao also accounted for a large part.
In addition, Hetao knew that the Mandan would definitely have plans for his food, grass, baggage, etc., but even if he respected himself, he underestimated the Mandan's courage and threat, and only deployed a cavalry regiment here at Jiming Post Road. As a result,
The sudden arrival of the Mandan's 100,000 elites and more than 200,000 ordinary people caught the Loop by surprise.
The most important thing is that the Azure Dragon Legion, which was supposed to be cruising east of him, has not appeared now, and there is not even any news about it.
Feng Jing was suddenly a little worried. It stands to reason that Xin Ke would have noticed such a big movement on his side. His Blue Dragon Army should be on their way to this place now, but there has been no news until now. Could it be that Xin Ke was not aware of it?
Bian was also attacked? However, with the current situation in Mandan, there is no way to threaten the safety of Xingke. Then, the only possibility is that Baijing in the east finally sends troops.
In the melee, Xiao Shicheng smiled coldly: "Fengjing, this time you finally fell into my general's plan, haha."
The soldiers around him looked at Xiao Shicheng in confusion. Xiao Shicheng realized that he had lost his temper, but in a happy mood, he didn't care about it at all. He laughed loudly and said: "Soldiers, keep up the good work, there will be no reinforcements in the Hetao!"
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Mandan soldiers is indeed very strong, but unlike Haixi's simple strength, their cooperation is more tacit, and it is definitely not a simple bravery. Facing the 60,000-strong cavalry, the Mandan soldiers
Dan soldiers are happy and not afraid, Xiao Shicheng can do anything
He was able to lead the cavalry to entangle Fengjing, while Yelu Bianhuang used infantry to outflank the Hetao cavalry rear formation. Although Fengjing was brave, Xiao Shicheng was the leading general in Mandan after all, and he had an advantage in terms of military strength, although he still had the upper hand.
, but I couldn’t get away for a while.
The 30,000 cavalry led by Lan Gaoping could not stop the Mandan people at all. There were too many opponents, and each of them was fearless of death. Even the fierce Hetao cavalry could not completely defeat them. On the contrary,
This forced the opponent who was bent on grabbing food to continuously retreat. Under such circumstances, Henghui, who was originally sitting behind, had to dispatch five thousand cavalry to help.
The advantage of the cavalry lies in its mobility and high speed. It is an absolute offensive unit. Even in defense, the cavalry can only undertake strategic defensive tasks, that is, covering retreats. However, Lan Gaoping is now completely using cavalry to replace infantry.
Due to his responsibilities, he gave up his own strengths and used short attacks to achieve long results. Naturally, it was quite difficult to cope with the situation.
Half an hour later, Fengjing's soldiers finally came back and told Fengjing the situation there.
"What? Cassimbas suddenly led his army to attack and broke through the Blood Commander's defense line. The Green Dragon Army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses." Feng Jing's face suddenly became serious when he heard this.
Hetao first annihilated Mandan in the hope of concentrating all its efforts on Kasimbas. Although after many years of fighting, the Hetao army has become a well-deserved first-class elite in the entire Chinese continent, and the five generals such as Blood Kill are also famous and frightening.
.But even so, facing the undefeated military god of the Baijing Dynasty, Cassimbas, he was still walking on thin ice.
I originally thought that Cassimbas would be honest for a while after the battle of Anjou, but I didn't expect that he would jump on his horse and pick up a gun so quickly, and actually cooperate with Mandan to launch an attack at this inopportune time. It seems that Xiao Shicheng's attack was also premeditated.
.
"Cassimbas personally leads the army? It seems that the problem is really serious now." Feng Jing's mind was spinning rapidly. Since Cassimbas personally led the army, it can only mean that this battle plan is Cassimba's.
The shadow of the famous tree designated by Si personally. For Cassimbas, Fengjing has always had a sincere admiration. Since the other party can formulate such a battle plan, it must be difficult for Xinke to provide help to him.
Thinking of this, Feng Jing called Zhang Ba and gave a few instructions in a low voice, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. If the person leading the troops in front of him was Cassimbas, then he would still have some scruples. But just with that
Xiao Shicheng, at most, could only catch himself off guard.
After receiving Feng Jing's order, Henghui and Lan Gaoping retreated slowly. The civilians who were covering the Loop retreated toward the inside of Jiming Post Road. The grain truck in front was left like that, while the grain truck in the back slowly retreated, and
Keep a certain distance in front.
Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Bianhuang were overjoyed when they saw this. Although they had not yet achieved a decisive victory here, it would be considered a victory if they could entangle Fengjing and prevent him from supporting Henghui and others. Moreover, Henghui and Lan Gaoping could no longer resist.
Due to the attack of the Mandan people who were going crazy, they had to give up part of their food and grass.
Xiao Shicheng was very happy. He had already ordered his soldiers to mingle among the people. When they approached the Hetao grain truck, they immediately set fire to the grain truck. In this way, the people would inevitably rush forward to grab grain even more because of the strong contrast. In this way,
Come, even if you can't severely damage the Loop, you can at least put huge pressure on the opponent.
Feng Jing sneered. On the battlefield, whoever is more ruthless will be able to survive. Although Xiao Shicheng is also a famous Mandan general and is indeed ruthless, his thinking is always limited to the battlefield. Seeing that the people of Mandan are basically
They had already flowed into the range of the grain trucks in Hetao, and Feng Jing was even more happy. The 60,000 cavalrymen under his command suddenly pulled out of the battle with Xiao Shicheng, went around in a circle, and came to the back of the two armies.
Relying on the mobility of the cavalry, the Mandan's retreat was cut off.
Xiao Shicheng was shocked. He didn't understand what Fengjing was planning to do. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of his eyes. Accompanied by the screams of the Mandan people, Xiao Shicheng was stunned. A fire shot up into the sky and instantly swallowed up the Mandan people who were grabbing food.
Dan people.
"What a vicious strategy!" Xiao Shicheng only felt his scalp numb. At this time, he truly understood Feng Jing's decisiveness and cunning in killing. Although he paid half of the food, he easily defeated the two men on his side.
More than 100,000 people were burned to death. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, they would definitely survive under the cavalry sweep by Henghui and Lan Gaoping. At that time, the opponent would be able to concentrate their forces to deal with their 100,000 cavalry.
Yelv Bianhuang looked sad and asked anxiously: "General Xiao, what should we do now?"
It is true that he is arrogant, but after all, he has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he is not an idiot without vision. The reason why he was able to catch Hetao off guard and capture Feng Jing, one of the five generals in Hetao, was largely due to
It's because the Hetao authorities pay too much attention to the grain, and the people grabbing grain are not only huge in number but also almost crazy.
However, the Hetao is now on fire. Although more than half of the food is burned, it will swallow up almost all the people who are grabbing food. In this way, Henghui and Lan Gaoping's 40,000 cavalry can be freed. In this way,
, the forces between the two sides were already evenly matched, but the other side still had the advantage in arms. Yelu Bianhuang suddenly looked bitter.
Xiao Shicheng also smiled bitterly. He naturally understood what would happen when the troops in Hetao were freed from the Mandan people. After weighing it, Xiao Shicheng said decisively: "General, let's withdraw first after leaving two troops of 20,000 people.
Otherwise it will be too late."
Yelv Bianhuang was not a person who regarded death as home. Otherwise, he would have died countless times in battles south of the river. He left behind two teams of ten thousand people who were already stuck with Fengjing's cavalry, and under the cover of Xiao Shicheng
, Yelu Bianhuang quickly led the remaining 20,000 infantrymen to retreat towards Mifeng City.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jing wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue him. However, the fighting power and fighting will of the Mandan soldiers were indeed quite strong. Although they knew they were being treated as abandoned sons, from the generals to ordinary soldiers, everyone was
They fought to the death and refused to retreat. They were all gnashing their teeth and looking like they were going to die together, forcing Feng Jing to mobilize all the troops at hand to kill him in order to reduce his own losses.
The Mandan soldiers are indeed worthy of their reputation. Even though Fengjing personally led the troops and had an absolute advantage in strength, it still took Fengjing nearly an hour to wipe out the 20,000 dead soldiers. At this time, Xiao Shicheng's Yelv side
Huangzao ran away without a trace. Fengjing was furious and immediately vented all his anger on the ordinary people who survived the fire. Originally, Henghui and others thought it was troublesome and planned to execute them on the spot, but Fengjing was furious.
He directly ordered all the more than 30,000 surviving people to be escorted to the Gulan area to be used as materials for building a city.
According to Feng Jing's plan, if the Mandan army in Mifeng City dares to come out to provoke, then his cavalry regiment can hold it back first, and then the Qinglong Corps with the letter engraved on it can outflank its back, and maybe take the opportunity to capture Mifeng.
City. As a result, the well-designed plan was ruined by Cassimbas.
Feng Jing escorted only half of the remaining grain all the way to Gulan. After hurriedly handing it over to Quartermaster Zhang Nao, he went directly to Haotian's carriage.
Since Feng Jing came here, there was no need to inform. Walking into the reception room of the Qingyun, Haotian was holding Hao Anzai, Dugu Xuanji and others pointing at the map. The two brothers, Hao Jin, looked exactly the same and were wearing the same clothes.
The clothes and costumes are also exactly the same, but Feng Jing is still very sure that the person in Haotian's arms is Hao'an, because there is a boy next to him who is playing happily with the small bow given to him by Ying Ji'er and others.
"What a heavy loss." As soon as Feng Jing walked in, he heard Haotian sigh.
After a hurried exchange of information, Feng Jing asked: "How did Cassimbas kill him? How much did we lose?"
Xuanji smiled bitterly and said: "No one knows where he came from. He mobilized a total of 150,000 cavalry from Beijing. He avoided the sight of the Five Young Masters and suddenly appeared in the eastern part of the Mandan. Fortunately, the Blood Commander
We noticed it in time and tried our best to block Cassimbas' attack, but the Blood Commander only had 70,000 soldiers under his command, so he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and more than 20,000 soldiers died on the spot."
"Is the letter engraved? Isn't his Green Dragon Legion nearby?" Feng Jing asked. He was still a little lucky in his heart. If Kasimbas didn't want to catch Loop by surprise, he would have been able to wipe out those still in Baijing first.
Wu Xiaolangjun.
"After Commander Xin received the news, he immediately rushed to the aid of Commander Blood. Kasimbas had already prepared, and ordered Hekimul to use a small number of cavalry to contain Commander Blood. He personally led 120,000 cavalry to ambush him midway. Commander Commander Xin was unprepared and simply
Unexpectedly, Kasimbas would surround the area for reinforcements, and was immediately killed by the opponent. Fortunately, the blood commander saw through Hekimur's falsehood and mobilized all his troops to counterattack across the board. Hekimur could not resist. Kasimba
Si was afraid of being caught in a double attack between Commander Xue and Commander Xin, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops and headed north."
Feng Jing took the tea from Xin Jiao and asked, "Going north?"
Xuanji nodded: "Yes, just go north. Fortunately, Commander Xue and Commander Xin delayed him for a while, allowing the two legions of Snow Lion and Phoenix Wu to move closer to us in time, avoiding being defeated by the Beijing cavalry. No one expected that Cassin
Bass did not return to Baijing immediately, but suddenly sent troops to attack our camp head-on."
Feng Jing turned his head and glanced at Dugu, who said awkwardly: "Cassimbas is indeed well-deserved. Although our army has an absolute advantage and the number of cavalry is greater than that of the opponent, his art of using troops has indeed reached the point of perfection.
We suffered a little loss."
The Gulan area originally had two legions, the Huben and the White Tiger, with a total of 200,000 troops. Together with the Snow Lion and Feng Wu legions, the total strength was as high as 300,000. However, facing the more than 100,000 cavalry of Cassimbas, there were already
Even though they were prepared, they still suffered a small loss. From this, we can imagine how powerful Cassimbas was.
Luo Xiang supported on the side: "In terms of casualties, they should be about the same. We lost nearly 30,000 people, but Cassimbas left at least 20,000 corpses. In addition to the losses during the battle with the Blood Commander and others,
, his 150,000 cavalry should only have 100,000 left now."
Haotian also knew that Luo Xiang was trying to comfort himself. In this battle, Hetao lost more than 70,000 people, while Baijing lost less than 50,000 people. Since the founding of the Hetao Kingdom, there has never been such a huge loss. Thinking of pacifying Qinchuan, the loss
Less than 70,000. However, Cassimbas only paid the price of 50,000 cavalry and severely damaged the Hetao side. For Baijing and Mandan, this is more about the stability of military morale.
Hearing this, Feng Jing said in a deep voice: "Our troops are too dispersed, which gives the other side an opportunity to take advantage of us."
Haotian nodded, the troops in Hetao were indeed too spread out. In addition to Wu Xiaolangjun who was causing trouble in Baijing, there were 30,000 infantrymen of the Blood Killing Legion in Anru City. The remaining 600,000 soldiers were stationed in the south of Mifeng City.
, Xing Ke and Xue Sha are in the southeast of Mandan, Haotian and Dugu are in Gulan, Jiang Shenzhou and Li Xiao are on their way to Gulan. If Dugu hadn't fought desperately to block Kasimbas's attack in Gulan, he would have suffered a heavy setback.
If the opponent's morale is low, Kasimbas will inevitably go all the way west to find trouble with the Legion of Honor and the Red Snake Legion.
Haotian took a deep breath and said: "Cassimbas has ruled the Great Wall for sixty years and has never been defeated in a hundred battles in his life. We must not underestimate his strength."
Dugu looked at the serious-looking Haotian and said, "My lord, are you planning to launch an offensive in advance?"
Haotian slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Yes, if we don't destroy Mandan as soon as possible, then we will not be able to deal with Baijing wholeheartedly. And if Cassimbas comes here again, we will definitely
The losses were heavy.”
Dugu's head drooped. The Five Hetao War Generals are famous throughout the Chinese mainland, but there is still a certain gap between them and Cassimbas. Just like this time, Cassimbas's army of 150,000 people was defeated in a row.
If it weren't for the strong defenses of Xuesha and Xinke, the outcome of both sides would still be between 50 and 50.
Hao'an in Haotian's arms was startled by the sound of Haotian's slap. He carefully looked at everyone's expressions with his little head and struggled desperately for a few times. Haotian understood and quickly handed Hao'an to Xin Jiao next to him.
Xin Jiao took Hao An with a smile, and the little guy immediately became quiet.
"Capture Black Rock City first. Use your bow as a draw, and capture the thief first. Capture the king first. Although the troops in Black Rock City are strong, our sisters will definitely be able to severely damage the opponent by taking them by surprise, leaving an army to guard Mi Feng and prepare for a decisive battle with Bai Jing.
." Haotian said in a deep voice.
Dugu nodded after hearing this and said: "In that case, I will go and make arrangements. Lord, don't worry, in five days, five days at most, I will definitely give you an explanation."
