The first thousand four hundred and eighty-fifth chapters meet on a narrow road
The Bao Xiong Camp is based on Xiaohe Town and is stuck at the exit of the mountain road. It can move easily, quickly, and concealed. It is possible to send troops to attack Fengyang City at any time.
As for the Wagang Army in Fengyang City, in addition to the 60,000 troops originally stationed here, there are 10,000 elite inner battalions that have just arrived. In addition, the troops from the outer battalions are scattered in various places nearby. The nearest Huangshi Village is also 50 meters away.
It is naturally difficult to maneuver and transfer troops at such a long distance, many miles away, from the Far Eastern Army's scouts.
Although Cheng Yaojin had decided to pull his men out to fight with the Far Eastern Army in the field, Cheng Yaojin knew in his heart that the Far Eastern Army should be more looking forward to fighting outside the city than storming the city. However, under the current situation, the Wagangzhai side could no longer afford to hold off.
Now, they can't do it without fighting in the field.
When Cheng Yaojin thought like this, he didn't know that Li Jing on the opposite side did not want to delay for personal reasons and wanted to fight the Wagang Army as soon as possible. He was even more decisive and stronger than him.
Therefore, at this time, some soldiers came in and reported: "Deputy General Manager, the two beacon towers at the mountain pass are warning..."
"What..." Cheng Yaojin, Fang Yanzao and others suddenly stood up.
The two beacon fire towers mentioned by the soldiers were built three years ago when Wagang Village had not been able to expand from its old nest. There was a long-term confrontation with the imperial officers and soldiers at the mountain pass, so the beacon fire towers were built. In the past two years, it has become a hinterland.
It has been abandoned. Because of the Far Eastern Army's attack a few days ago, a hundred people were re-stationed in each to monitor the Xiaohe Town Pass.
Now the two beacon fires are burning at the same time as a warning, indicating that the Far East Army has sent a large number of troops from Xiaohe Town Pass...
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Yanzao hurriedly left the meeting hall with the Wagang generals, walked to the east of the city, climbed to the east city tower, and looked around. Except for the two plumes of smoke that shot straight into the sky, there was no other scene.
They were all blocked by the rolling hills to the east, so nothing could be seen.
At this time, a scout galloped into the city from the east. Soon the scout climbed up the tower and reported: "Deputy General Manager, ten thousand soldiers of the Far East Army left the mountain pass and headed straight for the two beacons. It should have started by now.
attack……"
Before the scout could finish speaking, everyone saw the two puffs of smoke gradually dissipating, and their expressions changed greatly.
"Damn it, two beacons have been lost." Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but cursed.
"Those two beacon fire towers are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although there are only a hundred troops stationed there, they are not difficult to capture in one day. How could the Far Eastern Army move so fast?" Fang Yanzao looked in disbelief, faintly afraid.
At this moment, another cavalry galloped from a distance and came to the city. Before entering the city, they shouted loudly: "The two beacon fires have been lost. Ten thousand people from the Far East Army are heading towards Huangshi Village."
"Went to Huangshi Village, damn, the Far East Army has such a clever plan." Cheng Yaojin looked solemn.
Huangshi Village is the closest of several foreign camp villages near Fengyang City. It is located about fifty miles southeast of Fengyang City. Once Huangshi Village is occupied by the Far Eastern Army, it will be difficult for the Wagang Army to block the mountain road in Xiaohe Town.
Even with the geographical location of Huangshi Village, troops can be sent around to the back of Fengyang City at any time, cutting off the connection between Fengyang City and the main village of Wagang.
Everyone on the city tower looked at each other in shock, finally realizing for themselves the power of the Far Eastern Army.
When Cheng Yaojin arrived the day before yesterday, he had already strengthened the defense of Huangshi Village. In addition to the five thousand elite soldiers originally stationed in Huangshi Village, he sent another 3,000 people there the day before yesterday. Although these 8,000 people were not able to compete with the elite troops in the inner camp,
In comparison, it is much stronger than the ordinary camp troops.
Moreover, Fengyang City is not far from Huangshi Village, and large troops can be sent to support at any time. However, a large number of Far Eastern Army troops rushed to Huangshi Village and pulled out two beacon fires at the speed of Cheng Yaojin and Fang Yan, who were originally quite confident.
Zao and others no longer have confidence in whether they can defend Huangshi Village.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Fang Yanzao and ordered a burly general next to him who looked like an iron tower: "Wang Xuan, you lead your 10,000 troops out of the city immediately to support Huangshi Village. Once you get there, you can act accordingly."
Wang Xuan firmly holds the thirteenth position in Wagang Village, but his military force ranks among the top ten in Wagang Village. He is famous for his bravery and good at killing, and his 10,000 troops are all veterans who have been on countless battlefields.
Wang Xuan glanced at Fang Yanzao and saw that the latter did not say a word, so he accepted the order with clasped fists and got off the tower. Soon ten thousand horses rushed out of Fengyang City.
However, Fang Yanzao ordered people to quickly report the situation here to Li Mi of Wagang Village.
Wang Xuan led 10,000 people to leave Fengyang City and galloped towards Huangshi Village, fifty miles away. To be precise, they headed towards Huangshi Slope in front of Huangshi Village.
Huangshipo is a hillside in front of Huangshizhai. Its geographical location is very important, because in order to attack Huangshizhai, Huangshipo must be captured first, and conquering Huangshipo can cut off the connection between Fengyang City and Huangshizhai.
Therefore, the Wagang Army must not give up Huangshi Slope easily. Wang Xuan led his troops to the northern foot of Huangshi Slope, and was just in time to catch up with Li Xuanba personally leading 10,000 men from the Baoxiong Camp.
The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Huangshizhai itself has 3,000 troops on Huangshipo. In addition to the 10,000 troops brought by Wang Xuan, the Wagang Army has 13,000 troops, so they have the upper hand in terms of strength.
In addition, opportunities on the battlefield were fleeting. Although Wang Xuan knew that the combat power was probably no match for the Far Eastern Army, he was not very afraid and immediately began to deploy and start a big battle with the Far Eastern Army.
The two men and horses raised up a cloud of dust. From a distance, they looked like two giant dragons, crashing directly into each other at the southwest foot of Huangshi Slope.
The Far Eastern Army's Bao Xiong Battalion was originally composed of 40,000 Turkic Wolf Riders. Later, they were trained intensively at the Snake Island training camp. They have strong combat power and strict discipline. They are an army like dead soldiers.
Although the 10,000 people under Wang Xuan's command are from the bandit army, they are all thugs who are still alive after participating in countless killing battles. They have crawled out of the dead many times, and their killing skills on the battlefield have all killed countless people.
How many people have become true desperadoes?
In addition, they have been recharging their strength these days and are dissatisfied with the Far Eastern Army, so their fighting spirit is boiling and their murderous intent is surging.
Especially these days since the Wagang Army adopted a shrinking defensive strategy from the eastern front, they spent most of their time defending in the walled city. Wang Xuan and other generals could not wait to have a big fight with the Far East Army.
Wang Xuan was originally a famous brave general in Wagang, and he was also one of the first batch of fierce men to go to Wagang Village. He was good at fighting hard and fierce battles. He only wanted to have fun and have no fear of life or death. Although he knew that this battle was probably the most difficult battle in his life.
It was a difficult battle, but he did not avoid it at all. He avoided the edge of his thoughts, pointed at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, and shouted to his troops: "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. What happened to the Far Eastern Army? Kill him."
"Kill him!" Thousands of people behind him shouted fiercely, drawing their swords and holding bows, holding their shields and spears, without any fear.
On the opposite side, Li Xuanba led 10,000 men from the Storm Bear Battalion but remained silent. Because the attack was uphill and the horses could not charge forward, the 10,000 men dismounted and fought on foot. They formed a neat infantry formation and pushed towards this side.
