Chapter 763: The Decisive Battle Riding the Wind on Haizi
Chapter 763: Decisive Battle with Chengfeng Haizi (Part 1)
"Deploy all the cavalry. On the northern front are the Longxiang, Snow Lion and Fengwu cavalry regiments led by Wu Xiaolangjun with 150,000 soldiers. On the western front are the Qinglong Corps with 100,000 soldiers led by Xin Shuai. On the eastern front are Feng Shuai.
The Falcon Legion, the southern front is composed of 50,000 cavalry from the Tiger and Ben Legion, 30,000 cavalry from the Blood Killing Legion, and 70,000 cavalry from Shan Heqi on the Bloody Plateau, totaling 150,000 people. In this way, our army is both in strength and quality.
Far more than Tyumen. The four front armies are encircling us. Even if Memphis has the power to reach the sky, it cannot escape our grasp."
Luo Xiang raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "In this way, although we can surround the opponent tightly, our troops are somewhat scattered. If the entire Memphis army breaks out in one direction, the cavalry regiment in that direction will bear the burden.
A lot of pressure.”
"No matter which direction he breaks through, I believe in the strength of our Hetao soldiers and the commanding skills of our generals. As long as they can temporarily block Memphis, the armies from the other three directions can immediately pounce on it and tear it to pieces.
"Xue Sha said in a deep voice.
"Xue Shuai's plan is feasible, and I also believe in the strength of our Hetao soldiers." At this moment, a clear voice came from not far away. Xue Sha and Luo Xiang quickly turned around and bowed and said, "Greetings, my lord."
Haotian frowned and said with some displeasure: "How many times have I told you that there is no need to be so polite? Isn't it good for everyone to be more casual as before?"
Both of them laughed, but didn't say anything.
Haotian did not dwell on this issue. He raised his thick eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Commander Blood, I believe that 500,000 cavalry is enough to deal with Qiu Ming Memphis. But in this way, our more than 400,000 infantrymen will not be able to send any troops at all.
It’s of no use.”
Luo Xiang said in surprise: "Master, what you mean is that the infantry will attack Tieying at the same time?"
"Yes." Haotian nodded: "The combat effectiveness of Dodi and Leng Fangbu's 200,000 cavalry is not worth mentioning at all. With our current infantry strength, we can completely kill them. In this case, why wait until they are eliminated?
Are you taking action after Memphis?"
In addition to the cavalry corps, Haotian now also has seven legions including Huben, White Tiger, Honor, Qilin, Canglang, Dongfang, and Red Snake with more than 400,000 soldiers, as well as the newly completed Blood Killing Legion with 70,000 infantry, with a total strength of nearly 500,000.
.
Luo Xianghe Xue Sha has no doubt that the Hetao infantry has the strength to destroy Tie Ying, and can even kill it completely without leaving any consequences. But in this way, the army will definitely suffer some damage, and it is necessary to reduce their own losses as much as possible
Loss, this is the first thing that Hetao must pay attention to when marching and fighting. Both of them believe that they can send troops to sweep Tieying after wiping out Tyumen Memphis, and rely on their huge troop advantage and military advantage to easily wipe out it. This is also the case.
Able to minimize losses.
But according to Haotian's words, it seems that he is preparing to take action at the same time.
As a counselor, Luo Xiang had to remind Haotian: "Lord, if we launch an attack at the same time, we will suffer certain losses in the face of Iron Eagle's highly mobile cavalry. But if we eliminate Memphis and plot Iron Eagle
Eagle, the loss must be extremely small."
Haotian said calmly: "Then how long do you think it will take to completely eliminate Tie Ying and Qiu Ming?"
Luo Xiang looked at Xue Sha, who pondered for a moment and said, "Half a month."
Haotian nodded and said: "For half a month, plus cleaning up the battlefield and wiping out the remnants afterwards, we will need at least five more days to prepare. However, we don't have that much time now."
"Why?" the two asked in surprise.
"Sashan, with Xibu Jiasha as the commander, has mobilized an army of 300,000, and is expected to attack Loulan within the next few days."
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
Two days later, Dugu's White Tiger Legion arrived at Jingmayuan and took over the position of the Fengjing Cavalry. The Fengjing Cavalry moved westward, slowly pressing the Qiuming Cavalry and forcing it to retreat towards the capital Qingprairie. At the same time, the Northern Front
Wu Xiaolangjun, Xing Ke on the Western Front and Blood Killing on the Southern Front also launched their force at the same time. With a relatively complete encirclement of half a million cavalry, they continued to reduce the scope of Qiu Ming's activities at almost the same speed.
Memphis was obviously aware of the danger coming. At the beginning of the encirclement of the Hetao army, he led 300,000 cavalry to break out eastward and join Iron Eagle's Dodi. However, Fengjing did not let him do what he wanted. It was originally a favorable attack.
The undefended cavalry blocked the front of Memphis this time, while Xue Sha and others quickly moved closer to Feng Jing.
Memphis had a big headache at that time.
If he cannot defeat Fengjing in the shortest time, he will face the danger of being attacked from both sides. Fengjing's cavalry will bite him like a magnet, preventing him from spending more energy to deal with the blood.
He was attacked by Sha and others. In desperation, Memphis had to retreat towards Qingprairie. This was also the ideal battlefield chosen by Hetao for him.
Wherever the Hetao cavalry passed, all the Tyumen herdsmen were wiped out, all tribes were burned, and their cattle and sheep were snatched away, just like what the nomads did to the people of China after they broke into the Great Wall defense line, but I am afraid that Qiuming will also
Unexpectedly, they would have such a day.
Most of the Tyumen herdsmen in the encirclement retreated towards their royal capital, Green Grassland. Although Green Grassland only had low earth walls, this was their royal capital after all, and their king was still there, as well as hundreds of thousands of them.
Elite, somewhat safe.
"Among all the tribes, there is almost no adult man. It seems that Qiu Ming's potential has indeed been exhausted." Marching all the way, he continued to kill and observe the situation on the prairie, and finally said calmly.
Xue Sha secretly thought to himself that if all the 300,000 cavalrymen in Memphis were wiped out, then the entire Qiuming tribe might not be able to find a few adult men. In this way, even if Hetao does not continue to sweep, if they want to regain their strength,
It will take at least thirty to fifty years.
"Commander of the cavalry, we found a settlement of a small tribe ahead. However, the herdsmen have fled, but the tents are still there." The scout came to report.
"Well," it seemed that the Qiuming herdsmen fled in quite a panic. They didn't even take away their tents. After thinking for a moment, Xue Sha said in a deep voice: "Keep all the tents safe and search if there is any grease among their tribes."
And so on."
After a pause, Xue Sha said in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers be careful not to let Qiu Ming take advantage of the loopholes. The distribution range of the scouts is expanding."
The total strength of the four armies in Hetao is as high as 500,000, but half a million troops, thrown on the vast prairie, are actually not much. Qiu Ming has the advantage of fighting on the inside, and is familiar with the geographical location. If Memphis decides to lead the army
Three hundred thousand cavalrymen abandoned all the Tyumen herdsmen and fled. It was really difficult for the Hetao army to block them. Therefore, the bloody killing must be careful and not give the opponent any chance to escape.
At the same time, within Tie Ying's territory, nearly half a million Hetao troops began to slowly encircle them. However, since they were all infantry, they did not dare to spread their formation too far apart. Basically, they were separated by legions.
It is not very far away, so that when any of the legions is attacked by the Iron Eagle Cavalry, the nearby legions can come to the rescue.
"Lord, our infantry encirclement has too many loopholes. If Dodi and Leng Fangbu decide to escape, we will not be able to stop each other at all." Jiang Chenzhou said doubtfully.
Indeed, if the Hetao cavalry encirclement is airtight, then the infantry encirclement is full of loopholes. Dugu personally led the White Tiger Army to sit in Jingmayuan to prevent Tie Ying and Qiu Ming from joining together, while Haotian led Huben Honor and others
The main army slowly approached the northwest. In the vast east and west, Hetao did not deploy any troops at all. If the Iron Eagle Cavalry broke through from here, Hetao would not be able to stop it.
Moreover, on the prairie, there are roads everywhere, and even gods cannot tell where the other party is passing through.
"They won't leave. Even if Leng Fangbu wants to leave, Dodi won't let him go." Haotian said with a smile.
Jiang Chenzhou was puzzled, but Xuanji and Luo Xiang understood what Haotian meant. Leng Fangbu was not a Tie Ying man, and Tie Ying's survival had nothing to do with him. His only purpose was to save his life. As long as he could save his life
, he can do anything. But Dodi is different, he is General Iron Eagle. Badasi Khan and Hengshi Hassan died in battle, and now Iron Eagle is the only one to support the overall situation. If he escapes, Iron Eagle will
It's over. Therefore, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, Dodi will not give up. Because he can leave, but the people of Iron Eagle cannot leave at all.
"Give me the order to kill all the Iron Eagle tribesmen along the way. If there are any strong ones among them, then drive them to Chengfeng Haizi to cause more trouble for Dodi." Haotian said in a deep voice.
Chengfeng Haizi is located in the central area of Tieying. The triangle area between it, Haiziyuan and Jingmayuan is the most abundant place in Tieying. The water and grass here are abundant and the climate is mild. It is the main rest area for Tieying herdsmen in winter. Now
Dodi's 200,000-strong army and the fleeing Iron Eagle people gathered here.
As expected by Haotian, facing the slow advance of the Hetao army, Dodi did not choose to leave. He gathered all the Iron Eagle people, regardless of gender, old or young. Here, he and the entire China
The most powerful armies in the mainland fight to the death.
"Are all the Iron Eagle people stupid?" Jiang Chenzhou asked in confusion. Dodi didn't run away, so that makes sense, but why are so many Iron Eagle herders, regardless of gender, old or young, all gathered together? Don't they know?
, is the only outcome in this case death? Although escaping will also be very risky, at least there is hope of escape.
Xuanji was also silent. Just when they were about to arrive at Chengfeng Haizi, Dodi sent them a gift, a gift that they thought should never appear.
Haotian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "They chopped off Leng Fangbu's head and brought it to us. Obviously, they wanted to tell us that they would never escape, so they will fight us to the death here."
No one expected that Dodi would kill Leng Fangbu, who was ranked number one even outside the Great Wall, before the war started. Haotian and others originally thought that Dodi would definitely use his strength in this battle.
Leng Fangbu’s military talent.
"Leng Fangbu, like Zhu Zhao, is best at escaping and tail-cutting. This battle is a sure defeat for Tie Ying. But Dodi definitely didn't want to escape. In order to prevent Leng Fangbu from shaking the morale of the army, he simply killed him first
Leng Fangbu was slaughtered. Leng Fangbu is not a good thing anyway, so it was just used to sacrifice the flag." Luo Xiang said coldly.
Haotian knocked on his head and felt that something was wrong. Dodi may not be particularly good in the military, but he was able to sneak into General Iron Eagle and become the leader of the Iron Eagle tribe after Badasi Khan and Hengshi Hassan died in the battle.
People's brains are definitely not too bad. Killing generals in front of the battle will have an unpredictable impact on morale.
But there was a sigh in my heart: Leng Fangbu was able to rise to the rank of general of Mandan with a humble body. Over the years, no matter how he was encircled and suppressed by Hetao, he was able to escape smoothly. When Hetao sent troops to the prairie, he originally thought that he could escape smoothly this time.
To kill him, I don't know how much effort I have to put in. But I didn't expect that this cunning and fox-like Mandan general would be killed by Dodi. But this is good, at least it fulfilled Xiao Shicheng's wish.
"Send out scouts to closely monitor the Iron Eagle tribe to see if they really have any tricks up their sleeves." Haotian said.
Xuanji smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, my subordinates have sent out scouts, but none of the scouts found anything strange. Tie Ying's remaining 300,000 herdsmen, together with Dodi's 200,000 troops, were all concentrated in Chengfeng Haizi.
.”
Situ Lie said in disbelief: "Are these people crazy? Does he really think that their entire clan is our opponent?"
Xuanji shook his head: "Impossible. Even if Tie Ying and Qiu Ming completely merge now, they can't defeat us. In the battle in the Stone Wasteland, the morale of our army was once again improved, and Tie Ying and Rou Ran were severely damaged. Qiu Ming Varun
The 100,000 soldiers of the Sias Division were also wiped out. They have no power to stop our army from advancing. There will be no traps, and the vastness of the prairie is endless, so there is no way to ambush an ambush."
Everyone's eyes are on Haotian, because only Haotian has the final say.
"Don't worry so much, just send out troops and wipe them out. That's enough. We in Hetao are not afraid of intrigues. If anyone tries to play tricks on us, we will play with them with a knife. This should be what we in Hetao are best at.
"Haotian thought about it and finally ordered the army to move forward. Just as Luo Xiang once said, since you can't guess the opponent's strategic intentions, then fight to reveal their intentions. If they continue to preserve their strength, then first
Kill everyone in front of you and see if they can still sit still.
Chengfeng Haizi. 626 years, late September.
Tie Ying did not escape. The men on the prairie are all upright men. Even if they are equipped with swords and axes, they will never bow down. They are cruel, but they are also affectionate and righteous. They are bloodthirsty, but they will never bow down.
Will escape. Here, more than 500,000 Iron Eagle people picked up their weapons, formed a thick square formation, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Hetao army.
This is a real decisive battle. Iron Eagle General Dodi had someone send a handwritten letter of challenge to Haotian, hoping to have an upright decisive battle with the Hetao army. In response to this, Haotian's dragons and phoenixes danced amidst the surprise and confusion of the Hetao army.
He wrote one word on tactics: accurate.
"We, the Iron Eagle people, have been living outside the Great Wall for more than a hundred years. We, the Iron Eagle people, are a proud nation. We would rather all die on the battlefield than endure the humiliation of being slaughtered like cattle and sheep by the other side. Iron Eagle
People, for the pride of our ancestors and the glory of the Eagle people, pick up your weapons, even if we die on the battlefield, we are worthy of our ancestors!" Dodi roared loudly.
All the Iron Eagle soldiers and civilians did not say a word. They just held their weapons tightly. There were nearly 500,000 people. Except for the nearly 200,000 regular soldiers in armor at the front of the team, the rest were either gray-haired old men.
, or women with sad expressions, or even many children who are not good at swordsmanship. When a nation is mobilized, the power he unleashes is extremely domineering.
"A proud warrior should have a proud death. A nation with backbone will never have its backbone bent." Luo Xiang said lightly.
Haotian nodded, but the words he spoke were filled with a strong smell of blood: "In that case, let's send them on their way proudly."
Turning his head, Haotian asked Xuanji: "Military advisor, has the commander-in-chief arrived on the battlefield?"
"We just arrived, but the morale of the White Tiger Army is strong. Our formation is ready and we are just waiting for your order, my lord," Xuanji said.
"Military advisor, since everything is ready, let's get started. I believe in your ability." Haotian said lightly.
Xuanji Xiaoxiao, with 500,000 elites, against the opponent's 200,000 cavalry and the old, weak, women and children with little combat power, if he still can't win, then he will commit suicide. Therefore, not only must he win, but he must also win.
Beautiful, but also to minimize your own losses.
On the towering mobile sentry tower, the flag soldiers were constantly waving the command flags in their hands under the command of Xuanji. Seeing this, the soldiers of various departments also adjusted their battle formations. Since Dodi's army was forming with their backs to Chengfeng Haizi,
, so the Hetao army adopted the tactic of being surrounded on three sides. Dugu's White Tiger Legion was in the west. Although there was only one legion, everyone in Hetao felt that this was enough. With the White Tiger Legion's fierceness, no one in the world could break through in a field battle.
His line of defense.
There are three legions on the eastern front: Red Snake, Honor and Dongfang. Li Xiao is temporarily the supreme commander. Among the second-level generals in Hetao, Li Xiao is considered a very smart one. At least, Haotian thinks he is more powerful than Jiang Chenzhou and Chu Lianfeng.
He has a strategic vision and is more proficient in combat skills.
To the south is the main force where Haotian himself is stationed. Here are the Tigers, Canglang, Qilin and the 70,000 infantrymen of the Blood Killing Legion. Wang Xian's 10,000 cavalry have been taken out of the Canglang Legion, and Xuanji is preparing to use them as a last resort.
of assault force.
Accompanied by the rapid sound of golden drums, an army of 500,000 people slowly rushed towards the Iron Eagle Cavalry on the edge of Chengfeng Haizi from three directions. The Iron Eagle Cavalry also began to move. Under the leadership of Dodi, 200,000 regular soldiers
The cavalry clamped the horse's belly and attacked Haotian's central army without hesitation. The rest of the Iron Eagle people, led by their respective tribal elders, met the Hetao army on both wings.
Hetao really couldn't figure out why Dodi gave up the guerrilla warfare that the nomads are best at and went head-to-head with Hetao. Everyone knows that the tenacity of the Hetao infantry is unparalleled in the world. Even when facing the most elite Mandan armored heavy cavalry, they would not give in.
