Through the previous effective response to the cavalry by the Badong Army and the Jingzhou Army, Han Yong realized that the combat effectiveness of these two armies was unmatched by the adult army. {Uploaded by Book Friends} There is no comparison with the Zhao Army. One is cavalry and the other is

The infantry has different combat methods and cannot make an assessment. He feels it is necessary to feed this information back to Yunfeng as soon as possible.

Among the Liangzhou army, there is generally contempt for the Jiangdong army. But if you think about it carefully, Zu Ti was able to stay in Huainan and Henan for a long time. It was not for no reason. You know, he only had more than a hundred troops with him ten years ago.

Crossing the river to the north, he managed to carve out a territory surrounded by enemies. From this, it can be seen that in troubled times, no force can be underestimated, except of course Li Xiong.

Han Yong understands that this battle is inevitable, and the other side will never retreat easily. It is not only about interests, but also about face. So, he can only try to avoid heavy casualties as much as possible.

In the past, when fighting the enemy, the primary goal was to eliminate a large number of their effective forces. However, this time, they did the opposite. They had to master the intensity and heat to make the opponent retreat when faced with difficulties. Han Yong felt a little uncomfortable, but

There is no way, politics and military affairs are mixed with each other, and you have to learn to adapt even if you don't adapt.

Han Yong designated the breakthrough point as the Jingzhou Army. Looking at its military appearance, it was slightly chaotic compared to the Badong Army. It can be seen that Wei Yi was inferior to Gan Zhuode. As long as the Jingzhou Army retreated, the Badong Army would be affected. In addition to returning to the county,

Yufu, also known as Baidi City, is located in the east of Fengjie County, Chongqing today. There is no other way to go.

The current situation is that 20,000 infantrymen have formed a huge square formation. The first three circles are filled with crossbowmen outside the range of the crossbows. 10,000 cavalrymen are stationed in an equilateral triangle at three points. The top of the city is densely packed.

Heads of people stop to watch

Unknowingly, the stalemate lasted from noon to sunset. The sergeants on both sides took the time to alternately use some dry food. Although the Jingzhou Army was a little worse, there were no obvious flaws to be found - Book_)

Gan Zhuo looked at the sky, with a hint of anxiety on his face. In the dark night, it is extremely dangerous for the infantry without a camp and only relying on bows and crossbows to defeat the enemy. The opponent can take advantage of the night to attack the enemy from any direction.

raid

He couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't retreat because of impulsiveness, but that he was busy arguing with Wei Yi and neglected to set up a camp. But who would have thought that a cavalry would fall from the sky?

Wei Yi also sensed something was wrong, and turned around and asked: "General Gan, the night is not good for us. If we don't suffer the immediate loss, why don't we retreat? What if Fuling is given to Yunfeng? It's just a loss of some Miao Yi.

Let's go back and report this matter to the court.

The corner of Gan Zhuo's mouth twitched. In fact, it was not that he didn't know the relationship between Yunfeng and Huaxian Sect, but he didn't want to recognize Yunfeng as a relative. It would be better for everyone to pretend to be stupid, but he looked up at the cavalry not far away.

Gan Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Wouldn't it be ridiculous if we can't retreat without fighting? How will we stand on the temple in the future?"

Our army is in a difficult situation, and they are not much better. The general watched them encircle them without attacking, and must have been unwilling to fight to the death with us. In this case, the competition for endurance means that the soldiers only need to be more careful to guard against night attacks.

, how long can the other side last without any chance? He has 30,000 horses, and the horses also have to eat food and consume much more food than our army."

Wei Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "General Gan's words make sense, let's wait for tonight and then we'll see what happens."

Outside the formation, Han Yong, Jiang Fa and Zhao Su were also observing the military formation in front of them, feeling secretly troubled by the endurance of these two armies.

Jiang Fa shook his head and sighed: "I never expected that the Jiangdong army would be so difficult to deal with. It seems that we can only find another opportunity late at night."

Han Yong thought: "Speaking of which, our side still has the upper hand. Jiangdong's army is crowded in a small area and cannot move. It must always be prepared for our raids. It is nervous and difficult to last. I don't believe it. The three of them

I can still maintain this state after two days."

Han Yong's words inspired Zhao Su. He looked around and suggested: "General Han, I have a plan to defeat the enemy tonight."

"Oh?" Han Yong said with great interest: "Mr. Zhao, please speak."

Zhao Su pointed around: "General Han, please see, Hanfu is sandwiched between the north and south mountains, and the wind is gentle and less changing at night. General Han can find a windward place, cut down firewood, and light up the billowing smoke."

Regarding the opponent, I would like to see if Gan Zhuo and Wei Yi can remain unmoved under such circumstances? If he moves, there will be a flaw, how can he be invincible?"

"Pah!" Jiang Fa slapped Zhao Su hard on the thigh and praised: "You old man is really full of vicious tricks. With this plan, the enemy army will be panicked."

Zhao Su took a breath of pain and looked at Jiang Fa with dissatisfaction.

Han Yong's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Mr. Zhao, this plan is very good. If we retreat the enemy tonight, I will write to the general to ask for your merit."

Zhao Su immediately forgot about the pain and laughed: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

It was eleven o'clock at midnight, and the defenders watching the battle at the top of the city had long lost interest and returned to their respective camps one after another. It seemed that they would not be able to fight tonight. Han Yong sent the cavalry on both sides of the Jiangdong Army.

The team was called back

During this period, Han Yong ordered some sergeants to go up the mountain to cut trees. After careful analysis, they determined that the wind direction was southwesterly. The wind was not strong, but fortunately it was relatively stable.

The soldiers dragged downed trees one by one to the designated location. When the cavalry returned, nearly a hundred trees had been piled up in the dark.

Han Yong gave the order, and a sergeant rushed forward to splash crude oil, while he led the brigade back five miles due west and began to make preparations.

In less than a moment, the dots of fire gradually started to rise, and soon they burned into a large fire. Through the flickering light of the fire, you could see that the billowing smoke was like a thick wall, moving slowly towards Jiangdong.

The army pushed away

Han Yong waved his hand and said: "Get ready." The soldiers took out the soaked cotton cloth and tied it on their faces, and then muzzled the horses. As soon as the enemy showed signs of chaos, they would immediately rush over to show these infantrymen.

What is cavalry?

Both the defenders at the top of the city and the Jiangdong Army below the city were all stunned at this spectacular sight.

Before the smoke cloud arrived, an unpleasant smell had already drifted into the formation. Wei Yi murmured: "This... what should we do? The Liangzhou Army actually has this skill. If the smoke comes, our army will be in chaos. Gan

General, it’s better to retreat, what if we let him go for a while?”

The wall of smoke was getting closer and closer. You could guess without thinking that in the darkness, the opponent's cavalry must be ready to go. Gan Zhuo withdrew his gaze and looked at the uneasy sergeants. There were scattered "cough" sounds in the formation.

One after another, there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes

But Gan Zhuo also understood that if he continued to act impulsively, the whole army would undoubtedly be in chaos. At that time, the opponent would definitely charge forward. Should he show mercy or kill them all without leaving any survivors? He was not sure at all, so he stopped hesitating immediately and resentfully

He shouted loudly: "Listen to the other side, you win this time, but this matter is not over yet, let's wait and see." Then he turned around and shouted: "Everyone line up, the crossbow army is cut off, and retreat to the belly of the fish."

The sergeants exhaled as if they had been granted amnesty. The damn confrontation was finally over. Although they took turns holding crossbows, the feeling of holding the crossbow for an hour at one end was indeed not something anyone could bear.

Before coming here, I had made a plan. After occupying Hanfu, I would attack the surrounding Miao villages in batches. But now it was a waste of time. The graceful Miao girls were given a cheap price to these Liangzhou troops.

Although they were thinking about it in their minds, the strict training they usually had made them unconsciously form an orderly formation and slowly retreat.

The 20,000 infantrymen gradually retreated further and further away. Jiang Fa couldn't help but ask: "General Han, are our troops pursuing us?"

In fact, Han Yong also thought in his heart that although Jiangdong's army had retreated, it was still unscathed. He always felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. After a long time, he shook his head and said: "Let's not ruin the general's important affairs. Let's go. This

Then he went to ask for the city gate to be opened." (To be continued)
