[Chapter 414] The mayfly shakes the tree, beyond its own power!
[Chapter 414] The swaying a big tree is overestimating one's own abilities!
(0414)
There was a little cold sweat on Wang Xia's forehead. It was paralyzed, 30,000 people! Lin Danhan was really powerful! He used 30,000 cavalry at one time! If he used so many cavalry at another time or at another location, the White-Clothed Army might have nothing to worry about. However, at this critical moment, in the distant Bayannur grassland, Lin Danhan did such a move, which really put the White-Clothed Army in a little pressure!
Ergouzi continued to drink a few sips of water, and his expression slowly returned to normal. He provided more information to Wang Xia. From the direction of Guihua City, he did send out 30,000 *** cavalry in one breath, and led the team was Lin Danhan himself. Among them, half were iron-splitter cavalry, half were ordinary cavalry, and a very small number of Halashen tribe cavalry. In fact, these news were not the most important. The most important thing was that Lin Danhan himself came in person!
The white-clothed army knew that the last time Lin Danhan and Xu Xingxia fought fiercely at Zhenyuan Pass. That time, Lin Danhan suffered a great loss and had to leave in disappointment. It can be said that the resentment between the two was very deep. As long as Xu Xingxia still controlled Tessna and refused to hand her over, Lin Danhan would not be able to let Xu Xingxia go. This time, Lin Danhan led the team in person, obviously he wanted to take revenge.
Since he came in person, it means that the people who were dispatched were definitely not just 30,000. The Tumot tribe had 50,000 iron-spun cavalry, 50,000 ordinary cavalry, and some of the Halashen tribe cavalry who assisted in the battle. They all followed Lin Danhan's orders. Therefore, it is possible that more cavalry will arrive at any time. All of this depends on Lin Danhan's personal determination. If he really did not do anything, it would be impossible to transfer all 100,000 cavalry to come.
"*** people? Thirty thousand?"
"God, Lin Danhan himself is here too?"
The news brought by Ergouzi made the atmosphere near Wuliangsuhai suddenly tense.
The soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry had imagined that Lin Danhan would interfere with the Bayannur grassland. From a military strategic perspective, it is absolutely the most correct to dispatch large troops to conquer the Baiyi Army without firm foothold in the Bayannur grassland. Otherwise, they would not have been alert here for a long time. However, they did not expect that Lin Danhan would have so many troops! 30,000 cavalry! This is definitely not a small number!
Wang Xia also felt quite pressured. His original idea was that Lin Danhan would definitely not be more than 20,000 troops, and Lin Danhan himself would not be able to go out in person. Unexpectedly, there were 30,000 people! Moreover, Lin Danhan himself led the team himself! The pressure contained in this definitely shocked Wang Xia! This battle is probably going to set a precedent in history!
Idiots know that since Lin Danhan has arrived, the number of people coming will not be capped. As long as Lin Danhan needs it, more cavalry will arrive at any time. The number of cavalry of the *** people is large, far exceeding the current number of cavalry of the White-Clothed Army. Basically, this time the White-Clothed Army has provoked a bottomless pit. However, Xu Xingxia, the highest commander of the White-Clothed Army, is also a master who refuses to suffer losses. Since Lin Danhan dares to come out in full, Xu Xingxia may not dare. Maybe he will be more bachelor than Lin Danhan.
If the *** people come out in full swing and the white-clothed army comes out in full swing, and the two sides encounter a collision of blood and fire near the Bayannur grassland, it will be really sparks everywhere and cannot be described. No one can imagine what the outcome will be in the end of this battle. Both sides will suffer losses? Death together? Or will one side win a great victory? What if the Tatars, or the imperial army, intervene in the battle, intervene?
Judging from the current situation, the White-Clothed Army is at an absolute disadvantage. At present, the White-Clothed Army has less than 4,000 people in the Bayannur Grassland. The Tuyuhun cavalry that fights in concert have only about 3,000 or 4,000 people, which can be ignored at all. Without any danger, it is quite popular to directly confront 30,000 cavalrymen!
"calm!"
"We must find a way to turn things around!"
Wang Xia took a deep breath and repeatedly warned himself.
Panic is useless. As the commander of the Eagle Cavalry, he must calm down. He cannot let the soldiers below feel that they have completely lost their inch and have lost their confidence. This will be a big blow to their morale. The officers are panicked, and the soldiers below will of course panic. If the troops lose their morale, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it is almost inevitable to defeat the war. At the same time, only by calming down can we think about countermeasures.
There are two things that Wang Xia must do. The first is to quickly inform the situation to Xu Xingxia. He must inform Xu Xingxia of the situation as soon as possible. The earlier Xu Xingxia knows, the more time he can react. The second is to do all his ability to delay the speed of the people moving forward. He must buy time for Xu Xingxia. The more time he wins for Xu Xingxia, the greater the chance of winning the White Army.
The first task is not difficult, Ergouzi continued to inform the rear of the situation. After he arrived at the Phoenix Sea, everything would be running at high speed. Wang Xia had to focus on research, which was the second one. He had to do everything possible to delay the marching speed of the *** cavalry as much as possible. The current situation is very urgent, and time is very important. Even an hour is very important. Every hour is very important to the white-clothed army. Therefore, his basic strategy is to be able to delay one day, and an hour is one hour.
*** The cavalry set out from Guihua City and arrived at Bayannur Grassland. Under normal circumstances, it only takes about fifteen days. If their troops have too many people and the marching speed is reduced, then they should be able to arrive in twenty days. According to the news reported by Ergouzi, the cavalry has crossed the Blue Star Gorge and is about ten days away from the Phoenix Sea. The vanguard troops may be faster.
If he could drag them to ten or eight days, or even twenty or thirty days, it would be extremely beneficial to the strategy of the White-Clothed Army. It would take about ten days to start from the Heishan Camp to urgently reinforce the Phoenix Sea. As long as he let the *** people arrive in the Phoenix Sea area after twenty days, the White-Clothed Army's reinforcements can quickly reach the Bayannur grassland. If the *** people can arrive in the Phoenix Sea area after thirty days, more White-Clothed Army reinforcements will definitely arrive.
"Dry!"
"Go ahead!"
"Brothers, we're leaving!"
Wang Xia quickly made up his mind and immediately ordered the troops to gather.
Around Wuliangsuhai, there were about 100 soldiers in the Diaoqi and Eagle Cavalry soldiers. They quickly packed up their weapons, followed Wang Xia, and set out to the east. Afterwards, the soldiers from other places also arrived one after another after receiving the orders to assemble. I heard that 30,000 people came from the *** cavalry, and Lin Danhan was still the team himself. The soldiers' expressions were a little solemn, and no one spoke along the way.
Wang Xia and the others set out from Wuliangsuhai and moved forward quickly. Three days later, they met the scouts of the *** cavalry. At this time, more than 200 soldiers had gathered around Wang Xia. These were all the troops of the Eagle Cavalry and Eagle Cavalry that could be summoned near Wuliangsuhai. They were originally scattered and intercepted head-on, not their mission.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The gunshots rang without surprise.
***The scout fell down two people, and the rest dispersed.
Wang Xia rode his horse to the bodies of the two scouts, jumped off the horse, and searched them carefully, and was sure that they were indeed Lin Danhan's cavalry. Judging from the amount of dried beef they carried, it was a full amount of one and a half months. Under normal circumstances, the *** people only carried half a month of dry beef, which was three times more! It can be seen that this time, Lin Danhan was indeed preparing to fight.
Generally speaking, when people go to war, they will make dry beef specially for dry food. The more dry beef they carry, the further the combat area and the longer the battle lasts. Experienced veterans can infer rough action goals based on this point. Wang Xia, who was born as a Ranger, also learned this.
"Da da da da!"
Soon after, from the east of the grassland, the sound of horse hooves came.
The sound of horse hooves is like thunder, which means that there are definitely a lot of cavalry coming. Gradually, the sound of horse hooves becomes more and more turbid and blurry, not like thunder at all, but like the sound of the roaring of the Yellow River. This shows that the number of cavalry coming is very large, at least more than 10,000. Only cavalry with more than 10,000 people will have this sound of roaring like the Yellow River. If it is an ordinary army, when they hear this roar, their legs will probably tremble.
Wang Xia raised the thousand-mile mirror and saw a dark red line appearing on the grassland to the east. The line became larger and thicker, and finally evolved into a stream. The stream became larger and wider and wider, and quickly evolved into a river. Finally, many rivers gathered together, like a sea spreading to the west.
"Good guy, there are indeed quite a lot of people!" Wang Xia put down Qianlijing and said in a deep voice.
There were three Qianli Jing seized by Xu Xingxia in total. Xu Xingxia himself asked for one, the other two, one gave to Feng Qingwu and the other for Wang Xia. This was mainly because they needed to fight on the grassland. On the vast grassland, the Qianli Jing's role was indeed very large. All the movements of the people were taken into Wang Xia's eyes. Judging from the situation observed by Qianli Jing, Lin Danhan's determination this time was indeed quite good!
Faced with so many cavalrymen, Wang Xia felt deeply stressed. He was not afraid of death. In fact, even if he died, he could not solve the problem! If death could solve the problem, he would not hesitate at all. The problem now is that the actions of the cavalry must be delayed so that they cannot reach the Bayannur grassland as planned. However, with so many cavalrymen, they only have two or three hundred men, how can they do it?
He summoned all the soldiers around him, wiped his cheeks hard, and said deeply: "Brothers, our current task is to do everything possible to delay the speed of the marching people! The longer the delay, the better! Every day and every hour are very precious! Our reinforcements take time! No matter what method is taken, as long as the marching people can be slowed down, it is a good way! Is there any way for everyone?"
The soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry all looked at each other, and no one said anything. To be honest, their brains are not very flexible. It is okay to fight wars. Face to face-to-face hand-to-hand combat is also possible. However, if you want to use your brain, it will be a bit embarrassing for them. Faced with such a complex situation, they have no idea at all! Seeing their appearance, Wang Xia felt that he was playing the piano with a cow, so he had to give up.
There was no choice but to take the same old trick, just to harass day and night. This was something they had been so familiar with before they could get familiar with it. As for whether it would work, they had to try it out before they knew it. Soon, the scattered soldiers of the Diao Cavalry took the lead in rushing towards the *** cavalry. They took the method of teaming five people to specifically attack the *** cavalry's flanks.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Several consecutive gunfires sounded.
With the continuous gunfire, three *** cavalry fell down.
However, the other cavalry did not stop moving forward. They seemed not to hear the sound of foreign gunshots. They seemed not to see the three cavalry who were killed. When the scattered soldiers of the Diao Cavalry tried to continue to approach and further harass them, a forceful cavalry suddenly came out. They attacked very quickly, almost packing dumplings for the scattered soldiers of the Diao Cavalry. First, the scattered soldiers of the Diao Cavalry were also experienced in many battles and retreated immediately. The scattered soldiers did not chase them too far and retreated.
"Parassive!" Wang Xia was actually scared and sweated.
With the help of Qianlijing, he could tell at a glance that those small groups of elite and powerful cavalry were definitely Lin Danhan's killer moves, and were specially used by Lin Danhan to deal with the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army. Judging from their attacks just now, they were indeed very fast and very sudden. If the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army had not reacted quickly, they might have been made into dumplings.
"Grass! Come again!" Wang Xia gently bit his lips.
You, Lin Danhan, are cunning, our White-Clothed Army, are not mud-made. Do you think this will scare us away? It's so naive! As long as we get involved with you, we will never leave easily! Let's linger on this prairie! Under the command of Wang Xia, the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army stepped forward again and raided the *** cavalry again. Sure enough, Lin Danhan's elite cavalry moved out quickly again and drove the White-Clothed Army away.
After repeated repeated this, the soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry also learned their lesson. They designed a small trap. When the elite cavalry were dispatched, the soldiers lying behind were ambushed with fierce gunfire, killing several elite cavalry. However, the other cavalry continued to pounce on them wildly. They ignored death at all and only knew how to rush forward desperately. The white-clothed army had to retreat again to widen the distance between the two sides.
Amid the intermittent gunfire, the White-Clothed Army and the *** cavalry had been entangled for several hours. There were probably thirty or forty people at the muzzle of the White-Clothed Army. However, no matter how the Diao Cavalry scattered soldiers attacked, the main force of the *** cavalry still did not slow down and continued to move forward. From the perspective of delaying the enemy's marching speed, the actions of the Diao Cavalry scattered soldiers had no effect at all. In other words, the White-Clothed Army's slack strategy was simply a failure.
"Parastic!"
Wang Xia quietly cursed a few words.
These damn cavalrymen obviously made up their minds and didn't care about their harassment at all. They just wanted to reach their destination as soon as possible. This indeed hit Wang Xia's vital point. What he wanted was definitely not the result in front of him. Lin Danhan was indeed not simple. He knew very well what the strengths and weaknesses of the White Army were. He prescribed the right medicine, which left Wang Xia and his soldiers helpless for a while.
It has to be admitted that this has indeed captured the weakness of the White Army. The weakness of the White Army is Bayannur Grassland. If the *** people kill them desperately, Bayannur Grassland will definitely suffer. Even if the White Army can retreat, the Tuyuhun people cannot escape. The Tuyuhun people are a benchmark set by the White Army. If this benchmark is killed by the *** people, the prestige of the White Army will be gone.
"Parassive! Lin Danhan! You are cruel enough!"
Wang Xia cursed again and quickly thought about the countermeasures.
Setting fire? No. The prairie in summer is impossible to burn.
Poison? No. The area of the grassland is too large, and it is impossible to poison every water source. Where can the White Army find so many poisons?
Trap? No. There are too many cavalrymen. How many traps do you have to install them? Even if one trap is equipped with a cavalry, you have to dig at least 30,000 traps. It is estimated that the trap has not been dug, and the white-clothed army will be exhausted first.
After thinking about it, there was still no good idea. In desperation, Wang Xia had to continue to take the original plan, constantly harassing, day and night. He hoped that the number of casualties of the *** cavalry would reach a certain level, and he had to retreat. However, when he thought of the *** cavalry's strength of 30,000 people, Wang Xia felt a headache. Others had 30,000 people, even if you killed 30,000 people, so what? Besides, you can't kill 30,000 people at all!
Faced with the harassment of the White Army, the *** people responded to the harassment of the White Army by distributing a small part of the troops to deal with the harassment of the White Army. The main force was absolutely unaffected. With Lin Danhan in charge, the morale of the *** cavalry was not affected. Eat when you should eat, pull when you should pull, sleep when you should sleep, and rush when you should go. Although the White Army killed more than 100 cavalrymen, it was a drop in the bucket and was not worth mentioning at all.
After a while, the soldiers of the White-Clothing Army couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The 30,000 cavalrymen were simply elephants. In front of this giant, the White-Clothing Army soldiers were like hard-working ants. You can't bite the elephant any bite, and you can't bite much. To put it bluntly, this is simply a scoundrel that shakes a big tree, overestimating your ability!
