At this time when the sky was about to dawn and the sun in the east was still a red circle, Tuoba Changkong suddenly remembered something.
Suddenly, I shuddered hard on my horse.
Tuoba Changkong naturally had no chance to participate in the battle that was regarded as the shame of the Rong tribe, but he had also heard people talk about it. In that battle, tens of thousands of Rong tribe soldiers were killed, and the powerful Northern Barbarians were unable to recover from the fall, and even changed.
The situation in the entire grassland.
Not everyone in the empire is resourceful, and not everyone in the Rong tribe eats hair and drinks blood. Among the middle and upper classes of the Rong tribe, there are many people who yearn for the imperial culture and are well-read in poetry and books. Afterwards, many people reviewed the battle and investigated the facts about that battle.
intelligence.
Among them, there is one name that cannot be ignored.
Tuoba Changkong suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if the great river falling from the sky was sweeping down again across time and space.
This time, a big fish came to the pond.
That fish?
Guan Yu's fish.
After the Rong tribe was dispersed, heavy equipment such as trebuchets, crossbows, etc. had lost their lethality. Bows and arrows were used instead to kill enemies that came within the attack range.
Tuoba Changkong ordered his soldiers to spread out to avoid large-scale casualties from the opponent's attacks. The soldiers looked for positions not covered by the horse trap and approached the enemy's main formation.
It was impossible for Guanyu to set up a complete defense line in one night, and there would definitely be gaps. Once the cavalry was restricted in speed, it would not be able to achieve effective kills.
The real duel unfolds invisibly. Tuoba Changkong can find the attack route as quickly as possible to attack the enemy's main formation. The longer the delay, the more Guan Yu can use the archers to kill more enemies.
The competition is about battle formation layout, patience, carefulness, and calmness before battle.
Guanyu's formation was very shameless. He chose to set up on the hillside, so that his own soldiers could save their physical strength by going downhill. If the enemy's cavalry charges, their speed will inevitably be restricted.
Finally, after losing many men and horses, Tuoba Changkong finally found the attack route by relying on the instinct of the beast.
The cavalry assembled and charged towards the Guanyu main formation. Those at the forefront were spearmen and heavy armored soldiers. The two sides finally had a formal collision. The cavalry was like a tide and the infantry was like a rock, blocking one wave of attacks after another.
At this time, Guan Yu once again ordered the trebuchet crossbow to launch a second round of attacks. Tuoba Changkong discovered a helpless fact. The passage left by the enemy was very narrow. Five thousand people were crowded together in one place, and they could not use it at all.
When a big rock falls from the sky, you can only carry it with your head.
The two wings began to wrap outwards, squeezing the Rong clan's cavalry team, and the Rong clan was almost attacked from both sides.
Li Xingzai climbed up and looked far into the distance, taking in a panoramic view of this scene. The other princes were also paying attention to this battle from beginning to end.
Although they retreated when they saw the enemy, there were many knowledgeable and capable people among them. Now, they had to look at Guan Yu with new eyes and no longer despise him because of his age.
It seems that Guan Yu's tactics are not complicated. They use horse traps to limit the enemy, lead the Rong people into the passage, and wrap the two wings...it is nothing more than a simple pocket formation.
But big skills come from small things. The mobilization of soldiers and the control of timing fully show Guan Yu's extraordinary ability. In a simple pocket formation, some people will be pierced by the enemy's charge, but the pockets Guan Yu pierced can kill
Five thousand people were completely enveloped in it.
Once a person gets into a pocket, no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to do it. The same goes for a team being put into a pocket.
The Fox Tribe of the Rong Tribe is known for its cunning. They are good at guerrilla warfare and will keep the enemy in their hands while escaping. Often a large army pursues them, but after pursuing them, they find that their own side has suffered serious casualties.
But no matter how cunning a fox is, he cannot defeat a good hunter.
Guanyu is a big fish and a good hunter.
Tuoba Changkong began to retreat and broke free from the tied pocket. After all, it was not his own men and there were not enough manpower. Guan Yu did not fight with the opponent and opened a gap to allow the enemy to leave.
Tuoba Changkong withdrew from the battle line, but this time he bumped into him hard, and his head was badly bruised. The enemy in front of them was no longer a rat that was running away from them, but a solid stone.
He lingered on the periphery, his eyes burning, but he did not dare to attack for the time being.
Guan Yu was also a little dissatisfied and asked: "Are the other princes still watching the show? When will we take action?"
Qi Jiguang replied: "There is no movement for the time being, and we are still holding our ground."
Guan Yu suppressed his anger and said: "Tell them that the enemy's morale is weak. If we attack at this time, we will definitely defeat the enemy. There are still three thousand people from the Rong tribe coming. If they are allowed to join forces, I'm afraid they will be defeated."
We can't last long."
The opponent's morale is low, and so is our own side. Although the troops trained by Qi Jiguang are prohibited from obeying orders, this is their only advantage. If it were the Yuzi Army trained by Guan Yu, they would have launched a cavalry hedge against the enemy and cut off the enemy in a chaotic battle.
With the general's head, the enemy will be defeated.
Everyone thought that Guan Yu fought well enough, but Guan Yu didn't think so in his heart. The right time, place, people and people were not in his hands, so he could only make small calculations and calculations.
It's like a nine-sky eagle whose wings are tied and can only fight with chickens and dogs on the ground. How can Guan Yu go as he pleases?
Li Xingzai quickly left his own army formation and rushed to the coalition camp. Now is a good time to take advantage of the victory and attack. What are they waiting for?
This is a question Li Xingzai also wants to ask.
There was a break in the battle, and what had to be done had to be done. Guan Yu began to reorganize the military formation, asking the soldiers to take time to rest and replenish their arrows.
"Second brother, when will the attack start?" Zhang Fei came over. In such a positional battle, he had no room to display, and he was impatient to wait.
"Be calm and don't be impatient. Be calm and don't be impatient."
"Give me five hundred men, and I will go and bring the heads of the enemy generals. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Guan Yu shook his head. He knew Zhang Fei's ability, and what he just said was not a big lie. However, rushing into the battle rashly was too risky. Now was not the time to take risks.
The only hope can only be placed on the coalition forces. If they attack at this time, they will be able to defeat the enemy.
All in all, the enemy's backup is almost here.
The coalition camp finally showed signs of mobilization and moved towards the war zone. Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, these princes were finally not too stupid.
At this time, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and enemy reinforcements arrived.
The opportunity passed in the blink of an eye, and in the end, I failed to seize the chance of victory.
After the coalition forces were assembled, reinforcements from the other side had arrived. The front and rear armies merged, and the lost troops were replenished.
The opponent seemed to know the power of Guan Yu and did not attack rashly. Instead, he retreated five miles and set up camp.
Guan Yu was unable to attack and lost its formation advantage. To engage in an encounter with the Rong tribe on the plains was almost equivalent to letting these people die.
The soldiers and horses of the Rong tribe were like a nail driven down, pinning one hundred thousand imperial troops here.
The day passed like this, the two sides were at war with each other but did not start a war.
