This cavalry battle was very smooth in the Wei State!
First of all, after confronting the Qin army with intentionality and unintentionality, the Wei army launched a surprise attack without warning.
Secondly, the Wei army had an advantage in terms of military strength. After the Qin army was drawn and Gao Yun attacked, the number of people was only 15,000.
Wei Wuji's direct troops had 7,000 troops, which was against a 10,000 Qin army; while Xu Guanxiao's 10,000 troops were against a 5,000 Qin army.
The result of this battle is actually not difficult to guess!
Xu Guanxiao's previous hesitation was not just about worrying about the outcome of the war, but more about Xu Anhong's military order.
But no matter what, as long as this battle is won, Xu Guanxiao will not be afraid of Xu Anhong's offense.
This battle was indeed won, and more than 15,000 Qin troops were defeated, with nearly 7,000 casualties among the crowd.
These two Qin troops have actually been crippled, and the seven or eight thousand people who fled back were injured and could not enter the battle in a short period of time.
The most important thing is that the army that fought with Wei Wuji's subordinates was even more frightened by the Wei army. They might not dare to charge when they meet again.
As far as Wei Wuji knows, even if the chief general of this army fled back this time, he would probably be severely punished by Qin.
The defeat of the Qin cavalry will remove the mobile power of the Qin State outside Changping Pass. In other words, the Wei cavalry can drive in at this time without worrying about being chased away.
So, after Wei Wuji sent someone to send a message to Changping Camp, he carried Xu Guanxiao and continued to carry troops south with him.
This time he wanted to station troops at Xinle City, causing a slight shock to the Qin and Chu countries.
The Wei cavalry all attacked the city of Xinle, and this news was enough to cause great psychological pressure to the Qin and Chu coalition forces.
…………
Three days later, when the time came on August 15th, Wei Wuji led his army to advance dozens of miles, and received reprimand from Xu Anhong.
Of course, the reprimand here is full of powerlessness, because this is a large army, who made Wei Wuji win a big victory just now?
Of course, Xu Anhong was not a fool either. He took this opportunity to mobilize the cavalry that was wandering on the border of Wei and Zheng.
This is the time to take the lead. Only after sending the cavalry out of Changping Pass can it play its role better.
Now, Qin and Chu no longer have strong enough cavalry outside Changping Pass, and the Wei cavalry was enough to suppress the remaining tens of thousands of infantry in the city.
In addition, Wei Wuji also received news from Zhangan Guard that day that Fang Xuan's troops escaped from the Qin and Chu army's encirclement and suppression, which made the other party feel embarrassed.
Once, we can also see that Fang Xuan is still very capable, but he is facing several times of encirclement and suppression of the enemy on the enemy's territory!
Of course, there was bad news that the Qin State transferred 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry from its country to advance east to fill the disadvantage of troops after the evacuation of the army.
Wei Wuji couldn't help speculating whether Xianyang would have added troops to Changping Pass again if the Xianyang side learned about the defeat of the Qin army on the front line.
Of course, what really made Wei Wuji calm was the last news coming from the corner.
As early as the ninth day of the eighth month, Xianyang sent a delegation to the Zhou Dynasty to marry Princess Ji.
How could Wei Wuji stand this? So he immediately ordered the frontline to rest assured and let them suspend their plans to return to the army, and must find a way to strangle the Qin delegation.
This order is actually a bit unreasonable, because the Qin delegation would not detour the Chen State, but would directly enter the Zhou royal capital from Qin State.
It was obviously unrealistic to enter Qin State to kill his delegation. Therefore, when Fang Xuan received this order, he knew that his chance of doing things could only be within the Zhou Dynasty.
So it's time to formulate a strategy...
According to more specific circumstances, although Qin State sent a mission this time, its guard forces would never exceed 500 except for its ceremonial personnel.
It sounds like there are fewer people, because Qin State is not very concerned about the Zhou princess, not to mention that she is still a princess who is not favored at all.
So Fang Xuan brought the army along the river, which was also the border between Chen State and Zhou Shi.
More importantly, Wei Wuji inherited the army of Xinle City, so the Qin and Chu troops dared not act rashly, so it was very safe for the other party to come here.
Then what he had to do was wait, waiting for the moment when the Qin delegation entered the Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, during this waiting process, Fang Xuan also arranged his troops to cross the river and enter the Zhou room.
There is no need for too many people. The Qin State's escort force is only 500, so it is enough for the Wei army to send 1,000 troops to the side.
Two or three hundred people crossed the river quietly every day, and these thousand people crossed the river in less than three days, carefully hiding in the mountains and fields.
Because of the evacuation of most of the Chu army, the Zhou Shi's own security forces were not afraid at all. It was thankful that they could protect Shang Luo.
Therefore, after these thousand Wei troops crossed the river, they were not very worried about being discovered. Because even if they were discovered, who could do what they could do!
While Fang Xuan and others were still wandering by the river, Wei Wuji outside Xinle City did not stop.
He wanted to let the army move, but he was idle anyway, which would make the enemies in the city even more anxious.
Not only Xinle, but also Xiping City, which was occupied by the Qin people, sent people to disturb him. Anyway, he must not give the enemy a chance to relax.
In the military tent, Wei Wuji stared at a map behind the Shuai Case and was stunned, and his eyes focused on the red dot of Shangluo.
At this moment, Gao Yunzijun walked in outside the tent and said, "Young Master, the people sent to Xiping have already returned. The Qin people are like rats, and they can only stare at us!"
As the only captain under Wei Wuji, Gao Yun has a strong desire to perform now, and he cannot lose too many Fang Xuan who has made many contributions.
Wei Wuji naturally understood what his subordinates were thinking, which was what he wanted to see.
Therefore, Wei Wuji smiled and encouraged, "Okay... Very good! You not only want to prevent the Qin and Chu people from going out, but also let Xu Guanxiao and the others see how brave our army is!"
Gao Yunze bowed and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates know what to do!"
Wei Wuji is certainly relieved of this. Gao Yun is a man who works from the bottom and has his own sense of responsibility and rules in his work.
At this time, Gao Yunze said again: "Young Master, in the Zhou Shi... do you want your subordinates to bring people there?"
Gao Yun himself knew very well that attacking the Qin bride-welcoming mission would be more favorable than killing thousands of Qin troops.
After glanced at his subordinates, Wei Wuji said slowly: "I am very pleased that you have this idea... But the war is equally important at the moment!"
Gao Yun nodded. It didn't matter whether Wei Wuji agreed or not, as long as his loyalty could be passed on to the young master.
Afterwards, the two talked about military affairs, Gao Yun left suddenly.
His subordinates were anxious to show their loyalty, and they had to say that Wei Wuji was still quite happy at this time. When he thought of Xu Guanxiao's subordinates' "mutilation", he felt even more relieved.
His reputation has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and he is not afraid of any challenges at this time.
Thinking about the cavalry that was about to be transferred to the front line, Wei Wuji felt even more comfortable. At that time, he could only go to the other party's military camp.
Could that cavalry general of the aristocratic clan still keep Wu Yangjun out? Wei Wuji couldn't help but sneer.
Capturing military power was the most important purpose of his trip to Changping.
However, after burying these in his heart, Wei Wuji stared at the northwest, where Fang Xuan's troops were moving.
At this time, Wei Wuji said in his heart: "Yue'er, no one can take you away!"
It is important to seize military power, but for Wei Wuji, it is also important to save his love.
