Li Chengqiao arrived in a hurry, and he really didn't even take a breath. Linton immediately started to cause trouble again.
The 80,000 reinforcements here have just begun to arrive at the stronghold. Before they have even settled down, Linton has already issued a new order to set off.
Of course, Linton did not ask the entire army to set off. At this time, Li Ying's troops were integrated, and there were already about 100,000 troops.
Linton did not ask all the 100,000 people to set off, but ordered all the cavalry to follow him. The remaining people continued to confront the 60,000 to 70,000 remnants of the King's Gate on the other side.
As for the reason, of course it was because the cavalry was faster. Linton was not very patient to begin with, and he was not prepared to spend much time on fighting, so he naturally went as fast as he could.
Anyway, according to my understanding of the situation, I can automatically win if I bring Person A up there, so why should I care about what troops I bring, right?
All he needs to do here is to gather the troops and let them go directly to A. Don't ask, just ask about the military god's physique.
As for the target, it is obviously not the tens of thousands of remnants of the royal clan. Of course, those remnants are easy to deal with, but it will take a lot of time.
Because according to the inquiries in the past few days, this group of remnants will not take the initiative to attack for the time being, but will strengthen the camp somewhere, obviously preparing for defense. Although it is just a camp, the location where the opponent chooses to camp is still better, even if
They now have an advantage in numbers, and it is estimated that the fight will take a long time.
Linton had no intention of taking care of these tens of thousands of people, because although their defenses were well laid out, it was impossible to fight them off unless their reinforcements arrived.
And will their reinforcements arrive? Linton is now eyeing the opponent's reinforcements.
How many reinforcements does the other side have...probably more than 400,000.
Yes, although the Wangmen's army has more than 100,000, it is also a vanguard army. The main force that will follow is the army that the Fourteenth Emperor is currently gathering. It is said that after the troops from all parties are gathered, the total number will probably exceed 400,000.
.The entire army adds up to an army of close to 600,000 people.
Then Linton said that they should leave this remnant army alone and just kill their main force.
To be honest, even Li Ying, who was extremely blind to Linton, was shaken for a moment after hearing Linton's words. After all, Linton's target this time was an army of 400,000, and as for them...
Although they had 100,000 troops, Linton said he did not intend to bring them all, only cavalry. And how many cavalry troops were there among these 100,000 men?
Taken together, there are about 7,000 people.
To be honest, this is already a lot. After all, the cavalry unit is really difficult to deal with.
The army in Daning is mainly based on infantry. It's not that everyone doesn't know how powerful cavalry is, but the problem is how to build cavalry without horses. There really aren't many horse farms in Daning.
Li Ying was born in the army, so he naturally knew the importance of cavalry. But war horses are strategic materials, and he is just a prince. If you want to do this on a large scale, you clearly want to rebel.
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Ying did not dare to recruit a large number of war horses openly. However, he was always making small moves behind his back.
Even so, the number that could be gathered together in the end was not much. These cavalrymen in front of them were already regarded as Li Ying's family wealth.
However, in the end, the cavalry that Linton gathered was not just 7,000, but tens of thousands.
Isn't this because of the great gift from Wang Clan?
In the previous battle of Wutao River, Wangmen's side was originally crossing the river. However, all the war horses in his army did not follow him across the river, but were all kept in the temporary camp.
Sending horses across the river is really troublesome, and crossing the river does not require the participation of cavalry. Naturally, the arrangement on Wangmen’s side is to send people across the river first, and then set up camp. Waiting for the camp on the front line
It is of course a very normal choice to get it done and then transport the baggage and war horses.
However, he did not expect to encounter such a big defeat.
After the defeat, although the lieutenants here saw the situation clearly and retreated early to get back part of the baggage, they definitely couldn't take it all away. Their temporary camp was also penetrated and they retreated for dozens of miles.
I barely settled down and my things were scattered all over the place.
Now all of this baggage has naturally been accepted by Li Ying's troops, including the war horses.
We received a lot of war horses from Wangmen, but unfortunately, the number of cavalry from Li Ying's side was not enough.
This cavalry is not just for infantry to mount a horse. You can't even ride a horse without training, so you still want to fight on a horse? It's obviously impossible.
So I gathered together the remaining soldiers from the King's Gate, and probably gathered another 3,000 cavalry. There were actually quite a few horses left, but no one could use them anymore.
Linton set off with the 10,000 cavalry he gathered together. Because there were still some horses left, some of them could even ride two per person. There was no shortage of military and food supplies. With a little help, Linton would not be able to do anything at all.
No time for rest was given, so we set off directly on the same day.
Of course, Linton also made it clear that the target was the main force that was said to have 400,000 men. Hearing this news, the generals on Li Ying's side went crazy.
Even if they knew that Linton was the actual commander of the previous Battle of Wutao River, they would not be able to understand this matter. Brother, do you want to hear what you are talking about? If nothing else, just in terms of quantity, you
Ten thousand people are facing 400,000 people. Do you think you can win?
Let alone 400,000 people, let alone 400,000 pigs. If they stand for you to kill, how long will it take for you to kill them?
And they are not some miscellaneous army, not bandits, not peasant troops, they are all regular troops of the imperial court. Although the troops assembled this time come from all over Daning, they are indeed regular troops. How do you think we can win?
Don't talk about the advantages of arms, because there are also cavalry over there, and the number of cavalry is also several times as many as yours.
In short, all the generals went crazy when they heard that Linton was going to take his troops. Of course, they were happy a little too early, because soon they heard even worse news, that is... their lord, King Cheng Li Ying was still there
Prepare to go with Linton.
Yes, it’s okay for Linton to lead the troops to send him off. Li Ying is also planning to go with Linton. You said Linton sent it off, so he sent it off. Li Ying is the leader of the rebellion. If something happens to him, it won’t matter.
Is it all over?
So a group of generals tried to persuade him frantically, including several of Li Ying's sons, but to no avail.
Yes, Li Ying was completely blind now. Although she was stunned for a while after hearing Linton's plan, she was completely obsessed with it and made up her mind to go with Linton.
The eldest son Li Chengqiao was so angry that he fainted, but it still didn't work.
Under everyone's shocked, puzzled, and worried eyes, these 10,000 troops set off.
