"Go out!" Yu Ren, who was very proud of himself, announced at the general station that he would go out for battle.
Compared with his ugly son, Yu Ren's eyes are not so protruding, the bags under his eyes are slightly smaller, and his chin is slightly longer. However, his height is still a flaw of the Yu family. As the tallest person in the family, he is only 1.65 meters tall.
This time to attack Zhushan City, Kamikaze City formed an army of 50,000 people. They were assembled at the junction of the two cities two days ago and were waiting for the official declaration of war to enter the territory of Zhushan City.
Yu Ren personally served as the commander-in-chief of the army. This was the Yu family's first battle to conquer the subordinate nobles. Several generations of the Yu family had devoted their efforts to this end, and Kamikaze City invested a lot of manpower and material resources.
The 50,000-strong army was not divided into three armies: front, middle and rear. Instead, they huddled together and pressed directly towards Zhushan City. All the baggage and equipment marched with the army, and the army marched very slowly.
Kamikaze City is to the west of Zhushan City, and there are relatively close exchanges of personnel between the two sides. There are many people who are familiar with the environment of the two places. Yu Ren led his army to advance in a straight line towards Zhushan City. He had no intention of hiding it, and of course he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
Scouts from Zhushan City were everywhere, and someone quickly reported to Bo Cen the situation of the Kamikaze City army.
"It seems that Yu Ren has repeatedly deduced, taking into account our possible reactions, marching in the safest way, and forcing us to confront him head-on. He won't even let me make a small advantage." Bo Cen still said
He hid in the city lord's mansion and asked Ding Kui to deduce the offensive and defensive battle whenever he had time.
"If he didn't send troops to harass him, he would have enough time to camp outside the city, and we would just watch helplessly?" Ding Kui rarely had the opportunity to accumulate practical experience, so he gave up his training time and followed Bai Cen to follow the battle situation.
"Come here, order Bai Yun, lead half of the cavalry to approach the enemy, see their strength, and cover the special detachment to sneak into Kamikaze City." Bai Cen ordered.
"Aren't we going to let the cavalry break into Kamikaze City?" Ding Kui was puzzled.
"The other party can also guess what kind of troops we have. On the first day, they came with nearly 50,000 people. They must still have some troops left to deal with our cavalry." Botzen smiled slightly.
Except for Mount Zhushan, the rest of the terrain of Zhushan City is relatively flat. There are some hills near the border of Kamikaze City. It didn't take long for the Kamikaze City army to cross the hilly area.
Fifty thousand people marched together, nearly ten kilometers apart from one end to the other. Yu Ren's flag was in the middle of the team, making it easier for him to issue orders to the troops in a timely manner.
"Report, Lord City Lord, there are a large number of cavalry in the southeast, and they are driving away our scouts." A scout came from the front of the team.
"Haha, is that little girl really calling the shots in Zhushan City now? Use the cavalry to attack my marching team, make profit if there is any advantage, and run away if there is no advantage. This command is quite satisfactory." Yu Ren grinned, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
Mr. Cheng, who had accompanied Yu Ming to deliver the ultimatum to Zhushan City that day, was by Yu Ren's side at the moment. He said, "Count Yu, why not lure their cavalry into the military formation and eliminate their mobility in one fell swoop?"
"Well, no, that way our elites will be damaged, so it's better to be more stable." Yu Ren hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Instruct the cavalry division to assemble and push back the enemy; the scouts move to other directions and release two
Ten miles.”
Yu Ren's central army suddenly sounded the bugle and waved the flag wildly. The cavalry cruising on both sides of the marching team whipped their horses and ran towards the southeast of the team.
There were very few people in the Northern Empire who couldn't ride a horse. Knowing that Zhushan City would have a large number of cavalry, Kamikaze City also assembled a cavalry force of 10,000 people.
The cavalry from the two cities slowly approached. When they were about ten miles apart, the troops from Zhushan City, which had significantly fewer men and horses, stopped advancing and slowly circled towards the sides and rear of the Kamikaze City army. However, the cavalry from Kamikaze City opened up their formation and formed a half formation.
Pressing toward the opponent in an enveloping manner.
The cavalry of Kamikaze City only need to entangle the opponent. Their large army is behind them and can come up with reinforcements at any time to annihilate the opponent who has lost speed.
Bai Yun, who was hiding in the cavalry team, saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so she had to order to leave the battlefield quickly.
"I want Zhushan City to surrender and make the Bai family obey my orders. Killing them in large numbers will do no good to me. I just need to drag them down." After learning that the enemy troops had retreated, Yu Ren explained to Mr. Cheng.
"Earl Yu is thoughtful and will become a strong support to His Highness in the future." Mr. Cheng said with a smile.
Except for this forced retreating cavalry unit, there was no other troop harassment. Yuren led his army to the outskirts of Zhushan City safely and camped about ten miles away from the west gate.
"About 10,000 cavalry? Those are the troops they use to protect the food road." Bocen asserted, "The cavalry consumes too much. If the number is larger, they will need to send more people to protect the food road. Yu Ren is going to
It’s a long-term battle.”
"Then we must find a way to make them take the initiative to attack and force them to attack the city." Ding Kui said while holding his chin.
"From the time he came out to the time he set up camp, Yuren performed very steadily. It was not easy to force him to attack the city." This was the first time that Bo Cen fought against such a familiar opponent, and he could not find any flaws in his opponent in a short period of time.
"Give him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity worth taking." Ding Kui didn't have much actual combat experience, so he had many combat examples in his mind, and they didn't happen in this space.
"Opportunity?" Botzen's eyes flashed, "What do you mean?"
"Fake surrender to the city. Without you and without Bai Yun, the general who defends the city with average personal strength surrenders on his own initiative. Will Yu Ren, who has the upper hand in absolute strength, give it a try?" What Ding Kui thought of was not new. Fake surrender
There are basically examples of battles in various countries, but few people use them in noble battles.
"The old city lord is newly mourned, the new city lord is leading the troops, and someone is willing to offer the city voluntarily. With high-end combat power, elites, and military strength, I will not let go of this opportunity, no matter whether it is a real surrender or a fake surrender."
Bai Cen immediately conducted a deduction. With Yu Ren's military information, he was 100% sure of capturing Zhushan City.
Fake surrender basically occurs when the opponent's strength is far inferior. Only by desperately fighting to kill the enemy's coach can it be successful. The risk itself is very high.
"This is also the second factor that I learned from Lord Bai, which is to be more proactive and create opportunities for the enemy. Ambitious people will not miss opportunities that are more than 70% guaranteed." Ding Kui had actually deduced it many times in his mind.
In Ding Kui's deduction, the biggest variable is that there are also masters hidden in the enemy formation. In the end, they will not have the upper hand in a head-to-head confrontation, and if they are not careful, they will be defeated and killed. But Yu Ren's steady style dispelled Ding Kui's worries.
People who hold trump cards often reveal many flaws and are not so cautious.
"Come, come, come, tonight we will deduce in detail how to fake a surrender." Betsen has already thought of several tactics. He is also a steady person and strives to make as detailed a plan as possible.
As night fell, the Kamikaze City army camp was brightly lit, with sentries surrounding the camp, and patrolling soldiers walking around the camp from time to time.
"Count Yu, don't you want the enemy to steal the camp tonight? With such tight defense, how can the enemy dare to come?" Mr. Cheng was accompanying Yu Ren to play chess in the Chinese army's tent. The strong man named Commander Zang
Han is watching.
"If Bai Cen is here, I dare not say that. If Bai Yun is in charge of the overall situation in the city, based on our investigation of her in the past few years, she will definitely come to try." Yu Ren casually threw a piece on the chessboard.
Commander Zang pointed at the chessboard excitedly and said, "Hey, Count Yu, you made the wrong move, even a rough guy like Lian can see it."
"Zang Lian, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Earl Yu has already established a solid foundation. Slow down and let me attack first. You may have made a mistake." Mr. Cheng said, twirling his beard.
Zhushan is several hundred meters away from the north gate. From the top of the mountain, you can observe the situation for more than ten miles. Five hundred soldiers from Zhushan City are stationed here to guard this natural observation tower. Once attacked by the enemy, the defenders in the city can always
support.
A scout carefully observed the main camp of Kamikaze City with a monocular telescope. Then he drew a sketch on a piece of white paper, rolled it up and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube, and then blew the eagle whistle as hard as he could. After a while,
A black falcon landed silently on his arm. He tied a small bamboo tube to the eagle's leg and blew the eagle whistle a few times.
The hawk flapped its wings and almost disappeared into the dark night sky.
Most of the night passed, the patrolling soldiers had changed to the third group, and the Kamikaze City camp was still calm. The guards in front of the Chinese army's tent were yawning with their mouths wide open, and their commander was still in the tent without rest.
"Did I make a miscalculation? Or is it not Bai Yun who is in charge of the overall situation in the city?" Yu Ren frowned.
At this moment, drums and trumpets suddenly sounded outside the back camp, the braziers outside the camp were shot out by archers one after another, and a large number of black shadows were crawling forward.
Langback, a young warrior in the tribe, was only thirteen years old. He lied about his age and joined Bai Yun's cavalry unit. Now he is sitting on horseback and playing the trumpet, less than 500 meters away from the Kamikaze City military camp; his brother Langnu
The slave kept shooting arrows, targeting the braziers and torches outside the military camp.
Outside the rear camp, the Kamikaze City sentry was attacked and killed by the companions of the Longback brothers, but the cavalry detachment of two hundred people did not rush into the military camp.
An officer-looking man rushed out of the military tent and listened for a moment, "Huh, what a trick. The archers obeyed orders, loaded up the rockets, aimed at the target outside the camp, and fired with full strings."
A large number of archers emerged from the military tent of the rear camp. Regardless of their formation, they followed the officer's command and launched rockets outside the camp.
Thousands of rockets were fired into the air six times in a row, flying more than two hundred meters before landing. Although they were not fired in a row, after several rounds of rockets, the area more than two hundred meters outside the rear camp was illuminated.
"Sure enough, there are only a few kittens. The fifth largest infantry formation, the stormtroopers, come out of camp to catch people." The officer seemed to be at the level of a division commander, capable of commanding two brigades of different arms.
"Here we come!" Yu Ren from the central military tent raised his eyebrows and walked out of the tent.
Before he could figure out the situation in the rear camp, the sentry in the right camp shouted: "Enemy attack!" Hundreds of flames were seen approaching from a distance.
"How dare such a small number of people rush into the camp?" Zang Lian also came outside the tent, leaving Mr. Cheng alone in the Chinese army tent.
Yu Ren stepped on the ground a few times and said, "No, the vibration came from the direction of Zuoying."
