Chapter 70 The Destruction of the Yan Army Cavalry
()Seeing that the Yan army was gradually weakening and its morale was completely depleted, Liu Yu immediately led his soldiers to remove the obstacles and rushed into the valley. Liu Yu took the lead and shouted, "Brothers, kill me." Under Liu Yu's encouragement, the Ming army
All of them rushed forward without fear of death. Just kidding, the third prince rushed at the front, please take a step back and try!
The Ming army was in great momentum, but the Yan army had very little morale left. Moreover, in this narrow valley, the cavalry could not charge and could not exert much strength. As soon as they made contact, the Yan army collapsed and people continued to surrender.
Seeing that the Yan Army was about to lose its hold, the Yan Army's cavalry commander jumped out again, "Brothers, charge! We have a large number of people. As long as we rush out, we can survive." The Yan Army cavalry was encouraged by the cavalry commander.
, the Yan army's morale recovered and began to work hard to resist the Ming army's attack.
Seeing that victory was in sight, but someone disrupted the situation, one can imagine Liu Yu's mood. She was furious and said, "This bastard is looking for trouble again."
Immediately, he rode the Purple Winged Lion King and chased after him. As soon as the Purple Winged Lion King let go of his momentum, the surrounding horses immediately trembled and knelt down. Many Yan Army cavalry did not react at once and were thrown to death.
Liu Yu successfully rushed to the cavalry commander and stabbed him with one shot. In anger, Liu Yu exploded with 120% of his strength and struck hard.
There was a sudden change in the war horse, and of course the cavalry commander noticed it. The first thing he did was not to immediately investigate the cause, but to do the duty of a general, constantly encouraging the surrounding soldiers to prevent the morale of the soldiers from plummeting.
When Liu Yu came to the cavalry commander, he had not yet reacted. He only saw a flash of golden light, a pain in his throat, and then lost consciousness. It can be said that he died of suffocation.
Liu Yu took the opportunity to shout, "Your generals are dead. Surrender without killing them."
The death of the cavalry commander became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Without the backbone of the Yan army, their morale suddenly jumped and they all surrendered not long after.
The battle was decided, and Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "All ministries quickly cleaned the battlefield and surrendered the prisoners. Move quickly."
The Yan army's cavalry was wiped out, and the Yan army must be wary and dare not attack easily. What's more, without the cavalry, the Yan army now only has infantry, which is the kind of goods that can be beaten, or the kind that can only be beaten without being able to fight back.
After annihilating the Yan Army cavalry, everyone was very excited. In addition to the excitement, the huge enthusiasm burst out, which made the battlefield clean up a lot faster. In less than an hour, the battlefield was cleaned up.
Of course, the most excited one among them is Zheng Xingyun. He is not very old, only in his twenties. He is proficient in riding and riding, and his skills have reached the acquired level. He is considered a genius. He is the one who gave Chen Wen the five thousand knights to Liu Yu.
Rui's commander-in-chief was also one of the young men whom Chen Wen was more optimistic about. This time he gave Liu Yu five thousand elite cavalry without horses. Chen Wen felt bad about it, so he reluctantly handed Zheng Xingyun over to Liu Yu.
A little compensation.
After a while, Zheng Xingyun came to Liu Yu with a list of seizures. Liu Yu wiped the gun in his hand and asked, "How is it? How was the harvest?"
"Your Highness, we have really made a lot of money this time. The Yan army's cavalry suffered more than 7,000 casualties, more than 12,000 surrendered, and only less than 1,000 escaped. Your Highness, we also harvested more than 10,000 fine war horses.
.This time, I finally know why Your Highness only wants five thousand elite cavalry and not horses. It turns out that Your Highness has already made a plan to seize the Yan army’s horses for your own use, and I am extremely ashamed."
Now Zheng Xingyun really looked at Liu Yu with admiration and began to admire Liu Yu from the bottom of his heart. In the past, in the military camp, he often heard how the Third Highness was a god in the military and how brave he was. Zheng Xingyun thought that he was just blowing it up.
, the former reputation of His Highness the Third Highness is there, even if it has changed, it cannot be such a huge change.
Now, Zheng Xingyun has truly realized his ignorance. His Highness is more wise and powerful than the legend says. Being loyal to him is definitely a wise choice.
"Who said I want the Yan army's horses and training cavalry?"
Liu Yu's words obviously shocked Zheng Xingyun. If you don't need Yan army horses to train cavalry, why do you need five thousand elite cavalry? Zheng Xingyun, who was confused, couldn't help but asked, "Your Highness, I don't understand."
Seeing Zheng Xingyun's face full of confusion, Liu Yu smiled and said, "My Highness has a better mount for you, which is a hundred times better than a war horse."
Liu Yu's words not only failed to clear up the confusion, but made Zheng Xingyun even more confused: "What kind of mount is hundreds of times better than a war horse?" However, Liu Yu did not elaborate, and he did not dare to ask.
At this time, it was not yet sundown in the afternoon, and the Yan army was still desperately attacking the city. On the other hand, the Yan army, which numbered less than a thousand, broke up and ran madly towards the Yan army camp.
"What, you said that of our 20,000 cavalry, except for less than a thousand remnants, the rest were wiped out. How is this possible? Do you know what the crime of lying about military information is?"
After learning that his cavalry had been wiped out, General Yan was furious. He couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it. After all, military laws were strict and no one dared to lie about military information. The annihilation of the cavalry made him a little scared.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, the expression of fear is very simple, which is anger. The greater the anger, the crazier the way of venting it, which proves that the heart of the commander-in-chief of the Yan army is less peaceful and more fearful.
"Everything I say is true, and I would never dare to deceive the general. Our army was ambushed in Fengyun Valley, and its morale was low. General Zhao was attacked and killed by an enemy general again during the battle, and the soldiers were leaderless, so they were defeated."
The words of his subordinates made General Yan completely believe the news that the cavalry troops had been completely wiped out. Suddenly, the anger in his chest could not be calmed down, and he kicked his subordinates down. He shouted loudly, "Everyone died in the battle, how did you come back?"
, it is clear that he was afraid of death and escaped from the battle. Come here, pull this thing that is greedy for life and afraid of death for me and chop it down!"
His subordinates stood up, their faces pale with fear, and kept kowtowing, "General, spare your life, spare your life!" His subordinates' begging for mercy did not make General Yan Jun change his mind, and General Yan Jun waved his hand. The guards on the left and right would continue to beg for mercy.
The unfortunate guy dragged it on.
The deputy general on the side saw the general's angry look and hurriedly advised him, "General, calm down. Judging from the current situation, the opponent's troops are insufficient. As long as we are careful, there is nothing the opponent can do. We are sending additional scouts to search everywhere. As long as we find them
camp, we can wipe them out effortlessly."
"It sounds nice, but it's not that simple!" At this time, the Yan army general suppressed his anger and began to worry instead. This Ming army would never be destroyed, and he felt uneasy.
Obviously, the general of the Yan army was very uneasy at this time. Without the cavalry, it meant that the army he led was in a passive position of being beaten. Maybe at some point, someone would come to sneak attack and leave after being beaten, and he didn't
Method.
Of course, this is not what he is most worried about. What worries General Yan the most is that this army can quickly form a cavalry by messing with the horses of his own cavalry. When his army is at its most stalemate in attacking the city, this army can quickly form a cavalry.
If the army suddenly rushes out and cuts off your own army in the middle, your own side may be overturned.
"Alas" General Yan Jun sighed. Now he had no other way but to defend passively. Just in case, he left at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops when attacking the city. In this way
, there are only 50,000 to 60,000 troops attacking the city, and there are 20,000 defenders in the opponent's county. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight!
This army has been harmed, otherwise I would not have to be so passive. However, the deputy general is right, as long as more scouts are sent to search carefully everywhere, their camp will be found sooner or later, and they can be wiped out without any effort.
The general of the Yan army who had been in distress, on the other hand, Liu Yu asked people to take prisoners and hand them over to Chen Wen for disposal, and then led the army to find a place with rich water and grass to set up camp.
After the camp was stationed, Liu Yu ordered the five thousand elites to choose two war horses for each person, trying to make it possible for one man to have two horses. The camp site was rich in water and grass, just enough for grazing, enough to fatten up the war horses.
.
Looking at the sergeants grazing everywhere, Liu Yu nodded with a smile. Zheng Xingyun on the side was full of confusion: "Your Highness, didn't you say that Yan Army's horses are not needed to train cavalry? Why now...?"
Liu Yu stared at Zheng Xingyun, making him tremble for a while. Then Liu Yu joked, "Who said I used Yan Army horses to train cavalry?"
Zheng Xingyun pointed at the sergeant grazing in the distance and asked uneasily, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, you're talking about this!" Liu Yu seemed to suddenly realize, "This was deliberately shown to Yan Jun."
