Chapter 869: The Mercenaries Arrive
Yes, just now, the regiment directly under the New First Army was sent out. The target is precisely the grain and grass base in the rear of Xihaba. Once the place is occupied, the news will come out, and the barracks will be shaken, and you can imagine what kind of face Sihaba will have.
"This can't be blamed on Young Master Ben for being ruthless, isn't it the other party's idea to hit me first, do you think it's so easy to ask our mercenaries to make a move? How can you do it without getting some interest? Yang Chendong said leisurely while riding on a horse.
The backbone officers of the New First Army on the side trembled in their hearts after hearing this. Don't think about messing with the sixth young master in the future, otherwise, the consequences will definitely be very terrible. Of course, they were also rejoicing, glad that they were the Sixth Young Master's people, not his enemies.
The army was still advancing at an unhurried pace. Every quarter of an hour, scouts come to report on the battle ahead. It can be seen from this point that Yang Chendong is still paying attention to the battle situation at all times, and once he wants to deviate from his own plan, he will immediately adjust the military deployment.
Walking slowly, seeing that it was already afternoon, and in the evening after an hour, he looked at the tiger mang on the side and asked, "How is it?" How is the night training of the New First Army? Can you guarantee normal combat at night. ”
"No problem." Hu Mang replied by patting his chest. "Our fighters are well fed and nutritious, and there is no longer a problem of night blindness. In addition to this period of assault training, although it is still not possible to attack as freely as during the day, it is no longer a problem to fight and kill the enemy at night. ”
"Okay, that's good, tonight, there should be a chance for you to perform." Yang Chendong nodded happily, everything is ready now, just wait for it to get dark, he will enter the battlefield and show his skills.
But the so-called plan did not change quickly, just when Yang Chendong rushed to the decisive battlefield with the army in no hurry, the scout suddenly came to report, saying that a third-party force had suddenly entered the battlefield, and there were enough 10,000 cavalry, and they were launching a fierce attack on Fan Yuhai together with Xihaba, and now the famous general had been forced to press another 10,000 cavalry on the battlefield, so that the battle situation could be stabilized.
"A third party? Who is it? This change surprised Yang Chendong. He didn't think that anyone would raise troops to participate in the war at this time, and before the victory or defeat of the big war was decided, who would be so stupid to do such a non-beneficial thing at this time.
"I don't know, we're still investigating." The scout shook his head, unable to answer the question.
"Revisit." Yang Chendong's expression became much more solemn, and while repulsing the scouts, he also ordered the army to speed up some things. The sudden change disrupted his deployment, and he also needed to arrive on the battlefield in advance, only in this way could he respond to all changes with the same.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the scouts to have new news. The situation of the new party joining the battlefield has been clarified, and it is the county lord of Toya.
"Is that her?" When he heard the news, Yang Chendong's expression quickly calmed down and said, "She must have wanted to save her father Khan, but unfortunately, Fan Yuhai's movements were too fast, and she was finally one step late." ”
"This... Sixth Young Master, in this case, I am afraid that the county lord of Toya will play with the enemy, she only has 10,000 cavalry, and I am afraid that it will not play a big role on the battlefield. Besides, with Xihaba's person, I am afraid that she and her cavalry will definitely be used as cannon fodder, you see..."
"Not bad." Yang Chendong nodded. There is nothing to do with Toya in this battle he planned, this woman is ready to be "solved" at the end, but even if the battlefield changes, he must change with it. "In this way, immediately order the recruit division of the front army to speed up, rush to the battlefield early, and tell them to protect the two wings of the army of the county lord of Toya as much as possible, and everything will be decided when the army arrives."
"Understood." He nodded and galloped forward. And at this moment on the battlefield, as Yang Chendong expected, Xihaba did treat this woman and the cavalry she brought as cannon fodder, and when facing Fan Yuhai's 10,000 cavalry, he did not follow the additional army, but instead ordered the cavalry to retreat as much as possible, leaving the main battlefield to Toya and Fan Yuhai's cavalry.
It is naturally a good idea for Xihaba to fight, let these two opponents fight together first, and then it will be a good thing for him to consume too much regardless of which side. Originally, such a plan was to be left to the mercenaries, but since they haven't arrived yet, let's let Toya taste this feeling first.
On the battlefield, Toya and Na Risong were constantly rushing forward with 10,000 cavalry, facing the cavalry to which Fan Yuhai belonged, not retreating.
The decisive battle was about to begin, and Toya naturally inquired about the situation early. Her initial idea coincided with Yang Chendong, and she wanted to take advantage of the fact that these two parties were hit hard by dog-eat-dog, and it would be great if she could take the opportunity to rescue Sude Khan.
After thousands of calculations, Su De was no longer in forbearance at the last moment, not only that, but he also angered Fan Yuhai by speaking out, and was shot to death on the battlefield on the spot. Toya, who was also dozens of miles away, almost fainted when she learned of this bad news. Then she came desperately with a large army to kill, and she wanted to kill Fan Yuhai with her hand to avenge her father Khan.
Toya appeared on the battlefield one step ahead, and indeed caught both sides of the battle off guard. It's just a joy and a shout of bad luck.
Wielding a knife, like a man, he kept rushing forward on the battlefield to kill. Toya, who has practiced equestrianism since she was a child, and even worshiped several masters, does have a woman's side, just after a few charges, there are already three enemy horsemen killed and injured under her, but she still tirelessly rushes straight on horseback.
Even if he has the intention of killing, there are too many cavalry under Fan Yuhai, and a total of 30,000 are sent before and after, even if there are some dead and wounded, the remaining number is not comparable to Toya. Coupled with Sihaba's deliberate retreat, Toya's department has already advanced very suddenly, and even faintly threatens to be surrounded.
"County Lord, that dog and mother of Sihaba has retreated behind us, and now we are about to be surrounded." That day Song swung his sword and slashed another enemy rider under his horse, and then came to Toya's side, and said in a slightly nervous tone.
"It doesn't matter, we still have the same goal with Sihaba in this matter. As long as we are really in danger, he will not fail to save us, he just wants to consume us, not to destroy us, so tell the brothers, just rush forward. Toya's face did not show the slightest color, at this moment, the revenge of killing her father had filled her heart, and even she had already repaid her will to die, she only wanted to kill Fan Yuhai, as for the rest, she didn't care about it.
Tuoya was already crazy, and Narisong on the side could only shake his head and smile bitterly in the face of such a county lord, and then said to the soldiers beside him: "No matter what, to protect the safety of the county lord, if it really doesn't work, we will fight a bloody way to withdraw." ”
"Understood." The other guards all nodded in agreement, and then stayed on Toya's left and right, so that she would not be disturbed and not worry about the safety of the flanks.
Despite being well protected, facing Fan Yuhai's army, which was at least twice as large as them, Toya's troops finally began to suffer large-scale casualties. The strength of the troops is inferior, and the combat power is equal, and often whoever has more people has the advantage.
"Rush!"
Just when Risong was already thinking about whether to withdraw from the army and forcibly carrying the county lord of Toya to leave, a cavalry team appeared not far away, and from a distance, a uniform army green uniform was like a sea of green rushing towards the center of the battlefield.
The first reinforcements of the mercenaries have finally appeared. Leading the team was Lu Zhuo, the commander of the New First Army's recruit division, and all the 6,100 men and horses of his department came out and galloped wildly.
The starting lineup is a new division, this is what Yang Chendong meant. He didn't want Sihaba to see his hypocrisy, and the first army sent out was relatively weak.
Recruit divisions appeared. They did not adopt the method of fighting with the tip of an arrow, but maintained a cavalry formation in a battalion of 400 people, broke up the cavalry arranged by Fan Yuhai on the periphery, rushed to the middle of the formation, and came to the side of the county lord of Toya, and then the army slowed down, maintained mutual contact, and protected the safety of the county lord.
"It's a mercenary." When he saw these special uniforms, Narimatsu recognized their identities. But what he didn't expect was that they had come to protect the county lord. Seeing that in addition to the front, the left and right wings, as well as the rear were protected by a formed contingent of mercenary cavalry, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Naturally, Toya noticed the coming. At first, she was also stabbed in front of her, a protective frame. In a sense, she and Yang Chendong are still enemies, who knows if they will deal with themselves if they appear?
The battle situation changed again, and in the eyes of Fan Yuhai in the rear army, his face became even more ugly. Originally, he was just dealing with one Xihaba, but he was still very confident, even if he added 10,000 people to the county lord of Toya, he would not be afraid. After all, such coalition forces are not unified in their intentions, and they have various opportunities to break through.
But now the sudden appearance of the mercenaries made him feel extremely stressed.
The combat power of the mercenary, others don't know, but he has already understood it, and he is a witness to the destruction of the country in Jiaozhi, that is, from that time, he became an orphan and began to wander the world.
Now that the old enemy is in front of him, Fan Yuhai wants to fight a good time to avenge the revenge of the day. But reason eventually triumphed over impulse, and with a one-on-three approach, he didn't have the confidence to do so. "Pass the order, retreat slowly, get out of the battlefield as much as possible, and look for opportunities in battle."
