Chapter 527 Fighting in Yanzhou again (2)
After receiving news from the scouts ahead, more than 20,000 Northern Liang cavalry troops slowly appeared from the horizon, and then circled to the northwest.
The purpose of making a big circle is to avoid the inspection of Jinbing scouts as much as possible. If one is accidentally discovered, Beiliang's entire plan will come to nothing.
The main army here is composed of the Zuo Cavalry Army and Ben Lei Camp, with a total of 20,000 cavalry.
Both groups of cavalry were wearing black armor, and the banner of Benlei Camp was a silver-white thunder pattern, which was impressive.
Xue Meng and Xie Xiaolei stood side by side, with fighting intent on their faces.
"Master Marquis is true to his word, this assault battle is really left to my Zuo Cavalry Army, haha." Xue Meng laughed.
A while ago, the Zuo Cavalry Army suffered defeats every day, and Xue Meng was frequently eliminated by his generals, making him disgraced every time he returned to camp.
This time, the task of leading the army to attack finally fell on the Zuo Cavalry Army. Xue Meng could finally walk with his back straight.
"I have hardly fought a decent battle since I set up the Benlei Camp. General Xue, I am much more miserable than you." Xie Xiaolei said with a grimace: "And there are some new soldiers who are in urgent need of sharpening themselves in battles."
Benlei camp has a total strength of five thousand men, half of whom were transferred from the original Right Cavalry Army, and the other half were new recruits who joined the army from around Jianmen Pass.
"Hey, your thousands of cavalry broke through the sword gate and became famous in one battle. Enough is enough. How can I give you big battles again and again? Now let's watch my left cavalry army show off its power." Xue Meng laughed and waved.
Wave your hands.
Speaking of the most popular young general from Northern Liang after entering Liaodong, Xie Xiaolei was the quickest to emerge. Qianqi broke through the Jianmen and became famous in the first battle. Xie Xiaolei's outstanding achievements in regaining Tanzhou made even Xue Meng admire him.
"I, Xie Xiaolei, came from the command of General Lang Yi of the Right Cavalry Army. I will avenge the soldiers of the Right Cavalry Army this time!" Xie Xiaolei looked into the distance and said fiercely.
"What a man!" Xue Meng gave a thumbs up in approval: "But my left cavalry army and my right cavalry army are brothers, so leave it to me to take revenge. This time I have made up my mind to win the gold medal.
The dog’s head is a tribute to my brother who died in the battle of the right cavalry!”
"Okay! General Xue said so, and I, Xie Xiaolei, am a beautiful adult." Xie Xiaolei cupped his hands and said, "I, the Benlei Battalion, are willing to lead the way for the Zuo Cavalry Army!"
With the Benlei Camp as the vanguard, the Zuo Cavalry Army can ensure sufficient physical strength to annihilate the Jin soldiers of the Qilian Mountain Camp, and have a greater chance of winning.
"Good boy, you have such an appetite for me, old Xue! You are worthy of being from Liangzhou." Xue Meng punched Xie Xiaolei hard: "Then there are brothers who have worked hard at the Lei Camp. When we return from the victory, I will definitely treat you.
drink wine."
"Haha, then I, Xie, will be waiting for General Xue's fine wine. Come on!"
Xie Xiaolei laughed and rode away. With shouts and shouts, the five thousand Benlei Camp cavalry quickly broke away from the army and headed straight for the Qilian Mountains.
Night falls slowly, and it is not late autumn yet. The temperature in the middle of the night is not particularly low, but a slight chill can be clearly felt.
In a secluded mountain col, tens of thousands of gold soldiers were quietly ambushed. After a day of forced march, 60,000 gold cavalry finally arrived less than twenty miles away from the Beiliang camp.
All the war horses were tied up in hiding places, and the horses' mouths were sealed with branches. The tens of thousands of troops could hardly hear much noise, and not a single torch was lit.
Surrounded by the army and protected in the center were the five thousand iron pagoda knights who were not wearing armor.
Although hundreds of people died in the battle at Xinkawakou at Tiefutu, Wanyan Aguda had already selected capable soldiers to make up for the 5,000 soldiers.
Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Bi and other generals were sitting around a boulder. On the boulder was a cowhide map, and Pucha Rongbao was holding a fire folder to illuminate the map.
The flames fluttering in the breeze were a little dim, and I could barely see the approximate location on the map.
"According to the scouts' report, the Beiliang military camp is located here." Wanyanbi pointed to a certain place on the map and said.
"Have the scouts found anything? Are the two wings safe?" Wanyan Aguda's eyes kept circling the map. To this day, he is still a little worried about Chenyue.
"From the reports of the scouts who have returned, everything is normal. The scouts who traveled as far as forty or fifty miles have not returned yet." Kaldan reported the news obtained by the scouts from all walks of life.
Hearing that there was nothing unusual, Wanyan Agu felt a little relieved.
"Judging from the time of the Northern Liang Army's withdrawal, they will break camp and retreat again tomorrow. Tomorrow is our best opportunity to attack!" Wanyanbi said with a cold face.
"Then let's fight! The end of Beiliang has come!"
…
Everyone looked gloomy, looking forward to tomorrow's battle.
"Let everyone have a good rest tonight. Our tens of thousands of troops will definitely be discovered by the Beiliang Army at dawn tomorrow. Then it will be up to the generals to kill the thieves with all their strength!" Wanyan Aguda said in a deep voice.
"promise!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
The huge Beiliang Camp was sparsely populated at the moment. Except for the 20,000 Daliang Dragon Cavalry and Tiger Leopard Cavalry who were still in the camp, the rest of the infantry had all retreated, and all the food and supplies for the wounded soldiers had been sent back to Jianmen in advance.
close.
There were only a few figures standing in Chenyue's commanding tent, surrounding the map. Qian Zimo, Yan Hongyi, and Xiao Shangwen were all leaders of Beiliang's first-class cavalry. Even those who had been following Chenyue
Chu Yucheng beside him also left with the infantry.
"Wanyan Aguda thought we wouldn't be able to find them if they were hiding there. He really underestimated me, the Beiliang crossbowman." Qian Zimo sneered.
It turned out that the movements of the Jin people's pursuit had been clearly detected by the Beiliang army.
"What happened to the two armies that were attacking? Were they not discovered?" Chen Yue looked at the map and asked, slightly distracted.
Two crooked vermilion lines were drawn on the map, which were the marching routes of the left and right cavalry. There were also several red circles marked on the lines, which were the places where the Jin soldiers might be encountered in the end.
"The crossbowmen occasionally encounter Beijin scouts, but they are completely wiped out immediately. The army is currently marching smoothly." Xiao Shangwen replied from the side.
"It looks like our strategy of luring the enemy was very successful." Chen Yue chuckled.
Yan Hongyi, the head coach of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, grinned: "I'm afraid the Jin soldiers never dreamed that the retreating Beiliang army would suddenly appear in the Qilian Mountains camp."
"They are planning to annihilate us outside Jianmen Pass." Qian Zimo raised his eyebrows proudly.
"dream!"
"Hahaha!"
Several people laughed out loud in unison.
"However, the Jin army has 60,000 cavalry, and the iron pagoda cavalry is among them. We cannot take it lightly." Chen Yue said with his hands slightly folded in front of his chest.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis! Brothers, we don't mean to look down upon you at all!" The three of them clasped their fists together.
"Go according to the original plan tomorrow. The two groups of cavalry will attack in full force, try to attract Tiefutu to pursue them, and reduce the pressure on the infantry and horse formation. As long as the left and right cavalry gain one or two days, the battle will be won!
"Chen Yue shouted softly.
Chapter completed!
