The plain at the foot of Black Mountain is more than ten miles long from east to west and eight or nine miles from north to south. It is higher in the west and lower in the east. A river runs through the plain.
Little China's 80,000 troops were originally just here to rest and recuperate, and had no intention of staying. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to arrive at Chang'an City at dusk.
Unexpectedly, the main force of the old Chinese army descended from the sky, arrived first and seized the key areas of Montenegro and held the mountain pass.
The enemy's nightmare is not over yet.
Zhang Yi saw the opponent's 50,000 infantry gathered into a formation, like a dense ant colony. This kind of formation was specially designed to deal with cavalry and would cause significant trauma to the cavalry. The cavalry of Little China retreated to the cavalry side.
After the formation.
The enemy huddled together.
Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Zhang Yi wants to make a bigger plan.
He sent General Wang Zhengda and led 20,000 cavalry to advance quickly to the west of the plain and occupy the upper reaches of the river. The river was more than ten meters wide and the water was only waist deep. If ditches were dug upstream to divert the water, the river in the middle and lower reaches would be
The little Chinese troops had to go to the rear to find new water sources.
Another possibility is to build a dam to store water. Once a gap is opened, the flood will rush towards Little China's position.
This is another strategic location outside Montenegro. Whoever seizes the upper reaches can control the water source, which is of great significance to both parties.
In addition, our army is divided into two and are at the horns of each other. No matter which side the enemy attacks, their flanks will be exposed and they will face the possibility of a pincer attack.
Before the enemy commander could react, Zhang Yi completed the battlefield layout.
Six thousand warriors from Mopan City guarded the Black Mountain. They could shoot arrows to snipe the enemy, and launch unstoppable cavalry charges down the hillside.
Twenty thousand wolf cavalry control the mountain pass, and another 20,000 wolf cavalry control the upper reaches of the water source. They mainly focus on riding and shooting, and can defend or attack.
In addition, there are 20,000 wolf cavalry in the rear as a reserve regiment, which can be put into the battlefield at the most urgent moment.
Zhang Yi, who had always been as calm as a mountain, had a satisfied smile on his face. He grabbed the enemy's throat tightly, and victory was in sight. The most gratifying thing was that he had never commanded such a huge legion. At first, he led hundreds of troops.
Later it was reduced to thousands, and now it is finally over 10,000.
Zhang Yi did not feel strenuous when conducting. Instead, he felt that he was more powerful than a tiger, like a dragon in water, and could use his imagination as much as he wanted.
"Brother Yi, your arrangements are so good!" Xiao Liu praised, his slightly childish words made Niu Ben and Shi Gandang laugh beside him.
The two of them looked at Xiaoliu eagerly until she praised, "Daniu and Xiaoshi's performance was also great!" The two of them laughed happily and received praise from their sister-in-law, which was more important to them than anything else.
Xiaoliu was very happy.
My husband is strategizing and commanding well, and controls the entire battlefield with one hand. The Six Tigers of China are brave and invincible and can gallop freely among the enemy troops. The Mopan City Warriors and Wolf Cavalry are both elite divisions that have been tested.
So satisfied!
…
Little China's coach Yang Ting, Chief of Staff Fu Xiang and others who were watching the battle from the rear were all stunned. When the first three thousand Mopan City warriors faced General Deng Yun's 10,000 cavalry, they all showed contemptuous smiles, thinking they were bandits.
Vulnerable.
Next, I fell into a state of shock.
The three thousand warriors were simply beating General Deng Yun's cavalry. If the attack continued like this, General Deng Yun would not even be able to save his life. Marshal Yang Ting was furious and sent out all the infantry and cavalry.
I thought that I could annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, but I didn't know that the enemy was not willing to fight and left as soon as he said it. When the whole army launched a charge, tens of thousands of wolf cavalry suddenly rushed out of the valley. At this moment, Marshal Yang Ting's jaw almost dropped to the ground. .
At the reminder of Chief of Staff Fu Xiang, he hurriedly issued the order and tried his best to stabilize the position. Before he could take a breath, he saw General Wang Zheng of old China leading his troops to seize the upper reaches of the river.
The opponent's series of operations were so smooth and flowing, with such superb command and unique vision that even Marshal Yang Ting was impressed by it.
"Commander, the young general commanding at the foot of Black Mountain is Zhang Yi. The black war horse under his crotch is called Jueying, and he is holding a Panlong stick in his hand. The two people next to him are Iron Fist Niuben and Zhensanshan Shi Gandang."
Chief of Staff Fu Xiang put down the telescope in his hand and said that the generals of Little China had already grasped the situation of Zhang Yi brothers, and then he said angrily.
"It's just that I don't know who the girl next to Zhang Yi is. Zhang Yi is really arrogant to the extreme. He goes out to fight and brings a beauty with him. He is so underestimated!"
Marshal Yang Ting picked up the telescope on his chest and carefully observed Zhang Yi and others. He had many questions in his mind. As the military commander of Little China, he and King Liu Kai had fought many battles and were familiar with each other's battles. style.
In the sudden encounter, Marshal Yang Ting felt the presence of King Liu Kai, but it was very different from before, that is, the opponent's performance was more flexible, more violent and faster.
With deep doubts, he looked at Zhang Yi carefully. As Governor Lu Wang said, this young man is very handsome, very brave, and very smart. But in life, he is very simple and never approaches women. So, he Who is the girl next to me?
Marshal Yang Ting's eyes fell on the girl. She was wearing an exquisite and sturdy battle armor with a bunch of peacock feathers on the helmet. She was riding a sweaty horse and looked heroic...
"Princess Xiaoliu!?"
Marshal Yang Ting couldn't help shouting. A few years ago, the two countries signed a peace agreement in Chang'an. Marshal Yang Ting was warmly entertained by King Liu Kai. At the grand banquet held in the palace, he met the queen and princess. The queen was dignified and beautiful. , Xiaoliu was lively and cute, which left a deep impression on Marshal Yang Ting.
After hearing the news of the queen's death, Marshal Yang Ting was still sad for a long time. He also knew that King Liu Kai was injured. Although it was a secret, he could tell.
After learning about Wu Rui's rebellion and Liu Kai's death, the senior officials of Little China sent Marshal Yang Ting out to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the northwest.
The information was wrong. At this moment, Yang Ting came to the correct conclusion and sighed.
"Liu Kai, the king of the northwest, is still alive. He should be at the rear of the battlefield. Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu are getting married, and the two families have become one family!"
"How is it possible? How did you see it?" Chief of Staff Fu Xiang was dumbfounded.
Marshal Yang Ting glared at him. Do you still have to explain to him?
Some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Marshal Yang Ting saw the happy smiles on Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu's faces, exactly what young people on their honeymoon should look like. This proves that King Liu Kai is still alive, otherwise he would not There will be a wedding.
The command of the Wolf Cavalry was handed over to Zhang Yi, indicating that the rebellion of Wu Rui and Liu Guang was suppressed. Zhang Yi would not have been able to control this ace army if he had not been King Liu Kai's son-in-law.
Marshal Yang Ting came to a series of inferences in an instant, frowned and said.
