The 1st Cavalry Division moved slowly towards the designated rendezvous point.
Zhao Yun was a little worried, because by accommodating three people from Zhou Yunfei's family, the speed of the entire cavalry division would be restricted to a minimum. If Zhao Yun was faced with such a situation, he would never let go of the God-given opportunity of the cavalry being speed restricted. Therefore, Zhao Yun
The closer we get, the more anxious we become. [Search for the latest updates here.]
Logically speaking, since it has not appeared until now, the most likely scenario is that the opponent has lost traces of the 1st Cavalry Division, or is simply waiting for the 1st Cavalry Division to fall into the trap.
"Meng Qi, I want you to lead 10,000 vanguards and move forward after dawn tomorrow." Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Zhao Yun finally gave Ma Chao an order.
Zhao Yun's words stunned Ma Chao, "Brother Zhao, why is this?"
After expressing his worries, Ma Chao understood the seriousness of the matter. "Yes! I will obey the order!"
"If the situation changes, don't hesitate!" Zhao Yun gave his last warning. This sentence was equivalent to giving Ma Chao the right to fire. At the moment of crisis, Xu Sheng, commander of the First Army, and Zhao Yun, commander of the First Cavalry Division, both agreed.
The order to attack first was chosen.
If this matter had been done during the Three Kingdoms period, it would have been almost impossible for the two of them to act like this. The ancients valued a teacher's reputation and a righteous teacher. Even Zhuge Liang had to write a crusade when he went to Shu several times.
But after coming to the Ross Continent, Zhou Yunfei kept instilling a concept into his subordinates, the powerful men of the Three Kingdoms, which is to strike first to gain the upper hand!
War is not a child's play, just like Zhou Yunfei strictly prohibited generals from engaging in so-called duels before battle.
Duel before the battle is cool and awesome, but very stupid. In Zhou Yunfei's words, it's a double-blind act! War is not an individual act. Personal heroism has advantages but even greater disadvantages.
War is always collective, which is why Longcheng emphasizes military discipline and rules so much. These dogmas, which are too rigid in the eyes of many people, invisibly increase the power of the collective.
It was under this subtle influence that Zhao Yun and Xu Sheng gradually broke away from their previous inherent concepts and learned Zhou Yunfei's law of the jungle.
Ma Chao's actions naturally could not escape Zhou Yunfei's eyes, so he called Zhao Yun and inquired.
After hearing Zhao Yun's thoughts, Zhou Yunfei also became serious.
Zhou Yunfei, who had been intoxicated in the gentle countryside these days, realized the danger that might exist at the moment.
"Zilong, where is the location of the supporting troops?" After Zhou Yunfei finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yun take out the letter.
After taking it and reading it twice, Zhou Yunfei frowned.
Zhou Yunfei and the others were still three days away from the scheduled location, and these three days' journey would be the most critical section. Knowing that the cavalry who had lost their super mobility would probably fall into the enemy's siege, Zhou Yunfei thought hard.
He didn't believe in miracles, so as soon as he heard Zhao Yun's analysis, Zhou Yunfei thought that the other party must have set a trap for Zhou Yunfei and his First Cavalry Division to enter. As for how many enemies there were and where they were, he didn't know.
The information from the Intelligence Bureau has not reached Zhou Yunfei for two days, which gave Zhou Yunfei an ominous premonition. It is very likely that the trap targeting him this time will be extremely dangerous.
Looking at Cecilia and her baby Mengjun who were sleeping soundly in the carriage, the cold light in Zhou Yunfei's eyes became colder and colder.
"Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they can't stop me." Zhou Yunfei made up his mind and never let anything happen to Cecilia and the baby.
"Zilong! I order you to declare the first level of combat preparation. You will preside over all battles. I will give you the right to attack all enemies!" Zhou Yunfei was very self-aware and handed over all the command of the troops to Jingshang, who was better at it.
of Zhao Yun.
"In addition, send a team and I want to contact the outside." Zhou Yunfei's words are very clear, and Zhao Yun also has such a plan. For the Dragon City army, which has always relied on a powerful intelligence system, it seems very passive now without the support of intelligence.
.
Zhao Yun immediately made arrangements after Zhou Yunfei authorized it. The several teams that rushed in left overnight in various directions. Their mission was naturally to find the intelligence agency's leads. Ma Chao's team also set off in advance. As the vanguard, they would provide
The large army took the lead in testing the waters.
The noise outside woke Cecilia.
Cecilia rubbed her dry eyes and asked confusedly, "Husband? What happened?"
Zhou Yunfei turned back with a smile on his face, "It's okay, they just went to the front to find the support team."
Cecilia nodded, and then gently picked up the baby. The baby was still sleeping soundly. The peaceful expression on his face seemed to soothe his anxious mood. Zhou Yunfei looked at the mother and daughter. He must want this happiness.
guard!
While the 1st Cavalry Division was operating at the garrison, the Dark Brotherhood's troops in front also arrived at the designated location.
This force exists just for Zhou Yunfei and Longcheng.
Last year, the Dark Brotherhood and the Intelligence Bureau in the hands of Zhou Yunfei launched a fight in the dark. The final winner was naturally the Intelligence Bureau of Dragon City. However, do not underestimate the organization that has lasted for hundreds of years. Although it was attacked by intelligence
The situation was strangled by the Bureau, but it still failed to truly damage the foundation of the organization.
Trusting the Speaker of the Dark Brotherhood, he proposed a development idea that adapts to the new era. For this idea, they in the darkness will step out of the shadows and onto the bright stage of the mainland. The first target is naturally the enemy of Dragon City!
I don’t know where this nearly 100,000-strong force came from, nor how their logistics are supplied, but one thing is certain, their target is none other than Zhou Yunfei!
Just as Zhao Yun worried, the 1st Cavalry Division had indeed been surrounded. Since leaving the City of Roses, the 1st Cavalry Division had walked step by step into the trap set by the enemy. Coupled with the unusually slow speed, the opponent
This encirclement is formed more perfectly.
In this siege, more than 300,000 troops were used. More than 100,000 of them were troops controlled by the Dark Brotherhood, and the rest were troops in the hands of the First Prince and the Fourth Prince!
Why did the eldest prince actually participate in this operation, and with one of his biggest competitors, the fourth prince?
"If it's not of use to me, I'll get rid of it."
This sentence can well describe the regretful attitude of the eldest prince.
Yes, the reason why the eldest prince joined this siege was that he was deeply afraid of Longcheng's strength. Moreover, the relationship between Zhou Yunfei and the third prince made the eldest prince finally determined to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Zhou Yunfei!
Therefore, he did not hesitate to join forces with the Fourth Prince, and with the Dark Brotherhood taking the lead, a carefully arranged siege began.
Speaking of which, it was really a blessing that this unexpected marriage robbery finally gave them such an opportunity. You know, before this, the Dark Brotherhood had just secured the eldest prince, and before they had time to contact the fourth prince, things had already happened.
However, this also gave them an opportunity to contact the fourth prince, which finally led to this incident.
On the other hand, the First Army, which was dispatched urgently after receiving the order, also encountered trouble. Their trouble was due to the several blockades placed by the eldest prince on the only way to pass.
Because the situation was urgent, the First Army had no time to take a detour, so Xu Sheng issued the order very decisively.
"Fight! Fight! Whoever stands in front of us is the enemy!"
Xu Sheng's order directly caused a sudden battle.
The first and second divisions of the First Army before the attack were directly crushed under the leadership of Dong Qing. What they encountered was the light infantry team of the Cantero family in the eldest prince's power.
In just a few hours, the First Army broke through the defense line deployed by a legion of the Canterlot family.
There was no time to organize and recover, so the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the First Army invested in the second line of defense.
This time, they faced the elite royal legion in the hands of the eldest prince.
The Byvost Royal Regiment is a force that compliments the imperial capital. It can be said that apart from a few elites in the far north, it is the most capable force in the empire.
This legion has been responsible for guarding the royal family all year round. This time, the eldest prince actually put them on the defense line to block the first army. It was really a generous move.
Don't underestimate this force. The two main divisions of the First Army led by Dong Qing ran headlong into the defense line stationed by the Royal Legion.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the First Army was at a disadvantage. It had just experienced one battle and immediately entered the second battle. Therefore, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the casualties were very high from the beginning.
As the deputy commander of the First Army, Dong Qing held the rank of brigadier general. He risked his own life and led his first division in a storming attack for more than two hours.
But the other side held the position firmly and did not let the First Army cross the thunder pool even half a step!
Dong Qing, who became more and more anxious as the battle progressed, moved the Second Division to the flanks and attacked from both sides together.
The rain of arrows in the sky caused the front-attack troops of the First Army and the First Division to suffer heavy casualties. This was the first time that Longcheng suffered a loss in long-range attacks. In the past, only Longcheng troops attacked the enemy from a distance. This time
It was his turn to be baptized by the arrows.
In order to stop Dragon City's elite infantry regiment, the eldest prince specially mobilized tens of thousands of archers to join the royal regiment. With the well-arranged defensive line and offensive, the leading troops of the First Army were blocked here and unable to move forward.
!
Dong Qing was also injured in the arrow rain attack, but he had no time to care about his injuries. The current situation was very critical. If the passage could not be opened quickly, the subsequent First Army would also be trapped here! Once
The First Army is trapped, then the First Cavalry Division and Zhou Yunfei in the encirclement will be completely trapped!
"Brothers! Charge with me!" Dong Qing hastily broke off the arrows in his body, drew out his sharp sword, and roared with anger in his eyes.
"Han Army!"
"mighty!"
The First Army launched the charge again!
