Main text 2317 The wind rises (V)

The most incredible thing about the border where the Imperial Army sent troops was probably the Dongting people. They were used to seeing the Imperial Army's troops annihilating small forces on the opposite side. The general of the Dongting "Thunder" Army in charge of this border was Goguno. Li didn't take this situation seriously at first. He had just received an order from the royal court, asking him to return to the royal court. The order came from His Highness the Second Prince. The implication was that even the entire Lei Army must go back. As the second prince's confidant, I Furunori. ●⌒ He was confused in his heart, but he did not dare to delay even for a moment. He immediately ordered the troops scattered in various places to gather for the winter. He knew that the second prince could send this order, which showed that now it was the most critical moment to fight for the throne of Khan, and he wanted to help his master. Compared with the fight for the position of King Khan, the movements of the emperor on the border can almost be ignored.

In the vast grassland, only what is under the hooves of horses is the territory. There is no particularly fixed boundary line in the grassland, and there is no such thing as sticking to the border and not retreating. Originally, Wu Guyeli planned to withdraw as soon as the assembly was completed. , but the other party crosses the border The indiscriminate attack completely angered him. This was not because I took the initiative to attack them, but because the emperor bullied others too much. After killing the horse thieves, he did not choose to retreat, but unscrupulously raided the grassland rangers on the border. He really regarded himself as a Got the master? Just now, a squadron of 700 Rangers was intercepted and killed by the opponent. In addition to the constant battle reports coming in the past two days, not counting the so-called horse thieves who were lost, my own Lei Army cavalry had lost more than 2,000. , could it be that Lei Jun, one of the famous Dongting Eight Army, who was once praised by the old Khan King for attacking like thunder, just rolled up his tail and walked away in despair?

"Damn it, it's not over yet!"

Gokunori was riding on a majestic maroon war horse, wearing a golden-red horn helmet. His posture on the horse was like an iron tower. He was angrily mashing up the battle report he had just received in his hand. , was thrown on the ground among the white patches of snow, behind was a group of black prairie cavalry. Most of them were wearing iron felt hats, buckled mail, and carrying prairie bows on their waists. The horses' hooves were restlessly scratching the remaining snow on the ground, and thick white mist sprayed out from the noses of the horses. Since the Cang Army was destroyed, In the Tianlang Valley, the grassland was shaken. At that time, the Dongting Army was storming the hundred-mile long court in the imperial capital of Zhongbia. In order to prevent the emperor from continuing to advance eastward, they took advantage of the fact that the main force of the grassland was no longer approaching the imperial court. In addition, the mistake came from his own subordinates, so the second prince had no choice but to call in Lei Jun, a trusted army, to fill the hole.

Before departure, the second prince gave Wu Guyeli an order not to take the initiative to fight. Even if he gave up the border of Baili Grassland, he should not come into contact with the Falcon Emperor. Wu Guyeli knew his master's thoughts. This was for To preserve his strength, he led Lei Jun to arrive here. He has always shown that he is willing to give in. Not only did he give up the border, he even moved his own troops back a hundred miles away, so although Lei Jun has been stationed here for more than half a year. They had almost never fought against the Falcon Empire formally, and yet, at this time, knowing that the opponent's strength was less than half of their own, they still charged in so arrogantly. No matter how good-tempered I Konori is, I can't hold it back any longer.

"What a joke!"

Gokunori's hand holding the riding crop made a crackling sound. It would be fine if he was at a disadvantage, but he was clearly at an advantage. Just like that, he turned around and left without hesitation. Lei Jun ranked fourth among the eight armies of Dongting, with a strength of 80,000, only less than the first-ranked Long Qiu Army. The number of imperial cavalry that broke into the border this time was three to one. There were about ten thousand people, and the opponent was rushing to death. Lei Jun unexpectedly I don't even have the courage to challenge him. If the news is passed back to the royal court, I'm afraid it won't be of any help to His Royal Highness the Second Prince in fighting for King Khan, and it will be counterproductive. In this case, let's send these annoying guys away. When it comes to fighting on the grassland, Dongting people are real experts

"Sir, the enemy has passed Luyetan, which is thirty miles away, and is heading here!" A galloping scout Qingqi skillfully reined in his horse in front of his horse's head.

Wu Guye is worthy of being the Ten Thousand Cavalry Commander of the Eighth Army of Dongting. The grassland people use small groups of troops as bait and are very skilled in ambush tactics of large armies. Since the other party likes to chase after small groups of cavalry to kill, he sent small groups of cavalry as a bait. The most elite scout team was sent out as a bait. They were familiar with the local terrain even with their eyes closed. I was able to walk back, but I just walked around the border for a long time, and the other party really bit me in one bite. This is God trying to destroy you, but it’s not that I don’t like you. I, Konori, said to himself, and raised his hands. He picked up his riding whip and shouted to the group of prairie cavalry behind him, "Order all armies to follow up with all their strength, and be sure not to let the meat in your mouth escape again!"

. . . . . . . . . . . .

The horse's hooves cracked the frozen ice, making a gurgling sound. The desolate tidal flat in front of him was full of such thin ice, and the horse's legs would slip when he stepped on it. Deputy Fei Tang came up from behind and said in a solemn voice, "Sir, I The situation feels a little bad! According to the information we received, the Dongting Army on the opposite side has a full army. If this is the case, there is really no reason to retreat all the way."

"Yeah, I'm wondering too!" Murphy O'Brien, who was riding on the horse, frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "We swept the border in one breath and killed thousands of Dongting cavalry. No matter how stupid the opponent is, they will not fool the patrol again." Scouts were sent to the border, so I can say with 100% certainty that we have caused With the attention of the Dongting Army, this Dongting scout who is used as a bait is not only superb in horsemanship, but also very familiar with the terrain. No matter how hard he is forced to go, he will not choose to escape to this tidal flat that is not conducive to heavy horses. I I’m sure that the main force of the Dongting people should be waiting for us in front!”

"That should be the case." Fei Tang nodded, raised his riding crop and pointed forward, saying, "The opponent obviously wants to use this tidal flat to block their retreat. Once they cross it rashly, the main force of the Dongting Army on the opposite side will fight back with all their strength. These two or three Ten thousand cavalrymen may not be the opponent's opponent. In that case, it is better to use this tidal flat as the battlefield."

"Use this tidal flat as a battlefield?" Murphy O'Brien's face was determined, and his eyes were coldly staring at the distant horizon. This battle was a life and death battle for the Murphy Dragon Armor Cavalry. If it failed, it was hard to say whether he could go back alive, but If they win, the strength of the Murphy Dragon Armored Cavalry will be approved by His Majesty Falcon.

Yesterday, I received the exact news that His Majesty the Falcon has arrived at the Great Wall, and the most proficient Guards among the Imperial Guards have also left the east. Now, the eyes of the more than 100,000 Imperial Guards are focused on him. They all seemed to be looking forward to how they could break through the Dongting people's defense. He bit off a piece of meat fiercely. This feeling had not happened for many years. His Majesty Falcon did not say anything about the way he led his troops to break into the border of Dongting. On the contrary, the five Dongting troops who had been stationed in Yue Valley for repairs Wanqiu hurriedly crossed Tianlang Mansion. Zhengfeng rushed here in a hurry. It seemed that he did not want to focus on the front. Murphy O'Brien was not a fool. Since he dared to bet on this, he would naturally bet on this. A handful of capital. This time. It can be said that 20,000 Murphy dragon armor cavalry came out in full force, accompanied by 10,000 prairie light cavalry guards. Their combat power was not much worse than that of their opponents.

He had already sent someone to inquire about it. The Dongting people on the opposite side had received an order to retreat. Although they did not know the specific content of the order, the opponent's actions of setting up camp and setting off the camp could not be concealed. At this time, they should not catch up and take a bite. , then my Murphy Dragon Armor Cavalry really has no chance. When the main front-line troops of the empire arrive, there will still be a copy of the Murphy Dragon Armor there! If the other party thinks that he is defeated because of his small number, then he will not mind chipping the other party's two front teeth.

"If nothing else happens, the prairie people will choose to attack early tomorrow morning!"

Feitang jumped off his horse. He picked up a piece of ice that had been trampled by the war horse with his hands, broke it off with his fingers, and said with certainty, "Because they will definitely kill us when they find out that we are not chasing us." Like us, in such a wilderness full of ice at night, it is impossible to hide the sound of horse hooves breaking through the ice. From a positional point of view, after the opponent passes through the tidal flat, the first thing to do is to choose the higher terrain on the right side of the tidal flat as the focus of the charge. The opponent's cavalry group only needs to be slightly adjusted to occupy the commanding heights of the high ground. , and then wait for our army to launch a fatal blow when it takes action."

"You are right, so I have no intention of fighting them to the death here."

Murphy O'Brien smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The opponent has more troops than us and the terrain is more familiar to us. We cannot eat the opponent in one bite, but as long as the opponent feels that this battle cannot be won, they will choose to retreat!" Murphy O'Brien raised the whip in his hand and pointed at the high ground Fei Tang mentioned just now. He laughed coldly and said, "You already said that the other side must fight for it." The high ground, then we will use that as the decisive battle point. The opponent's cavalry will definitely attack there after passing through this tidal flat, which just gives us a chance to attack head-on! As long as the opponent's spirit is destroyed, the opponent will hesitate. Don't forget. The other party is still waiting to return to the Prairie Royal Court. How can it be willing to bear such a large-scale casualty war at such a critical moment?"

In the early morning, three huge cavalry formations of ten thousand people slowly appeared from the distant horizon. As expected, the main force of the well-equipped prairie cavalry emerged from the ambush position. They found that their prey had not been fooled, so they could only be very reluctant. Turning around and fighting back, they cautiously stopped their horses on the thin ice of the tidal flat. All the prairie cavalry looked at one place. Opposite the tidal flat, the imperial cavalry were also prepared.

"These bastards, are they considered a provocation!" The commander of the Lei Corps, Gogu Yeri, was riding on a tall and thick black war horse. His eyes were full of blood-red threads, and his vein-filled hands held the reins of the war horse tightly, his fingertips deeply Deep into the flesh, it was these bastards who made me lose all face, waiting in the cold wind all night in vain,

"Woo!" A burst of exciting prairie trombone sounds sounded, and dozens of slightly spaced smaller cavalry phalanxes of thousands of troops began to advance with the east court flag. In the center was the most elite main force with 10,000 soldiers. It consists of elite melee cavalry with the strongest combat effectiveness. The 20,000 cavalry archers on both wings protect the center like two protective wings. The relatively weak light cavalry and some scattered close combat cavalry were temporarily combined into a ten thousand troops. There were more troops gathering behind them. Although the attack speed of the three square formations was slow, their formations were close to each other. It was so tight that it looked like a dark cloud covering the earth from a distance. At a hundred meters, the prairie cavalry began to raise the prairie bow in their hands.

"Dragon Armored Cavalry, spear!"

Murphy O'Brien raised his hand high and shouted loudly. He saw a whole team of light cavalry suddenly speeding up, horseshoes flying. The cavalry above skillfully and efficiently pulled out a javelin with a fine iron tip from the crotch of the horse, and flew eastward in the distance. 80 meters away from the cavalry formation, the horses used all their weapons to fight before turning. Throwing it out, I saw only metal waterfalls of death falling from the sky. The Dongting cavalry moving forward in the tidal flat seemed to be swept by a huge sickle. Under such a storm-like blow, even the war horses It was twisted into an unnatural posture, flipped over and shot into a hedgehog filled with arrows. There were soldiers spraying blood from horseback and flying into the air. They screamed and fell from their horses in the dust. The people of Dongting had never encountered an opponent who used javelins instead of arrow clusters. They were a little confused for a moment and let go of their hands. , the arrow shot through the air,

"Speed ​​up and rush over!"

There was no frustration on Gonosato's face, but a hint of joy. A hundred meters away, in just ten seconds, at that moment, the melee cavalry on the flanks finally rushed in. Holding the scimitar high in the hand and shouting loudly, he rushed into the queue of the emperor's army. "Bang bang!" The fierce collision in a short distance was completely like man slashing man, horse hitting horse. Tens of thousands of cavalry crowded into this beach area of ​​less than 2 kilometers. The two sides that collided with each other suddenly dispersed like rolling waves, and then collided with each other, biting each other with all available weapons. , blood spattered onto the faces of the cavalry, making them look like ferocious red men.

It was so close that from the eyes of both sides, it seemed as if the opponent's cavalry was rushing on the backs of their cavalry, slashing and killing them! Both sides had no room to turn their horses. The only thing they could do was to swing their swords, swing their swords, and swing their swords again, until every enemy on horseback was no longer in sight. The East Court Army had an obvious numerical advantage. Murphy O'Brien Calmly observing the situation on the battlefield, he loudly ordered "Retreat! While maintaining the front line, retreat..." One of the ten thousand-man formations on the flanks has been destroyed by the impact. The ferocious prairie cavalry pounced on them almost like crazy. With their numerical advantage, they went crazy. Even so, the people of Dongting did not forget to send an elite force to seize the high ground to the west.

I had a cold and a fever. After taking medicine, I was left with nothing but mushy brain. I barely managed to write a chapter (to be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
