Chapter 631: Inexplicable Evolution of the Battle Situation
Heh, Xu Yin is really impatient......
Zhao Hongrun noticed the movement of the Fen Jun for the first time, and after being slightly surprised, a slight smile appeared on his face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is undeniable that in this battle, the Fencheng army did fight beautifully, with the same number of troops, with a weak array, it actually blocked the attack of the Chu army, and even suppressed the other party in turn, which really gave the Wei infantry a long face.
But then again, what is the situation of that Chu army, Zhao Hongrun still hasn't figured it out.
Obviously, at this moment, Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army, was also a little impatient to continue this kind of confrontation with the Chu general Doulian, and secretly sent out the flanks to attack the Chu army's main formation, which was obviously to make the confrontation of the thousand-man army instantly expand the scale of the battle, and force the Chu general Doulian to expose himself The real purpose of coming to fight.
It's a pity that the Fencheng Army is the fortress garrison of Fencheng Fortress, except for a few scout cavalry, there are almost no so-called cavalry battalions, otherwise, if Xu Yin also has a 5,000-person cavalry like the Dangshan Army and the Junshui Army in his hands, I am afraid that this will be enough to destroy this Chu army.
Instead of the Fencheng army on the flanks slowly outflanking the Chu army as it is now, it is certain that the Fencheng soldiers on the flanks must be running as hard as they can, but for the generals who look at the entire battlefield, the speed of the infantry is still too slow.
But then again, Xu Yin's purpose this time was not to completely annihilate this Chu army, but to figure out the purpose of the Chu general on the other side.
After all, the total annihilation of about 5,000 soldiers of the Chu State is not a small feat, but it is actually nothing for this big battle that costs hundreds of thousands or millions at every turn.
However, to the dumbness of Zhao Hongrun and Xu Yin, not long after Xu Yin sent Cai Baohu, the Chu general named Dou Lian actually retreated.
What are you doing?
Zhao Hongrun's face was very exciting, and he couldn't understand what the Chu general named Dou Lian was thinking.
Could it really be as Yan Mo said, that Dou Lian mistakenly thought that the Wei army had traveled all the way, and wanted to harass the Wei army while it had not yet established a firm foothold, so that the Wei army could not build a camp quickly?
Or did that Dou Lian arrogantly believe that more than 5,000 Chu troops alone could defeat 50,000 and Wei troops?
"What about being underestimated?"
While Zhao Hongrun was secretly puzzled, Xu Yin looked at the Chu Jun who turned around and fled, and sneered.
Although he didn't attach much importance to these five thousand Chu troops, Xu Yin did not refuse to add this to his merits.
"Order Cai to capture the tiger and let him pursue the Chu army!"
After issuing this order, Xu Yin thought about it and added: "You must beware that the Chu army is deceitful and luring the enemy, so Cai Baohu should not be careless." ”
"Yes!"
Among Xu Yin's personal guards, two of them drove their mounts to chase Cai Baohu quickly and conveyed Xu Yin's general order.
At this time, Xu Yin once again glanced up at the sky, and then summoned two more guards and instructed them: "You wait to go and tell His Royal Highness King Su that my Fen army wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and see if there is a chance to take Mengshan." ”
After that, Xu Yin immediately ordered the entire Fencheng army to go out and head towards Mengshan, which was now under the control of the Chu State.
The two guards didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told Zhao Hongrun about Xu Yin's words as they were.
Zhao Hongrun did not have the slightest annoyance about Xu Yin's "self-assertion", after all, Xu Yin was originally a general who could take charge of himself and had the right to choose his own battle, and responding to changes on the battlefield was originally a truth that leading generals must understand.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said to the two Xu Yin's personal guards: "This king knows, you two go back and tell General Xu Yin, just say that this king allows him to act cheaply, but be vigilant...... Forget it, go for it. ”
He originally wanted to say that Xu Yin should be vigilant and guard against the Chu army to deceive and lure the enemy, but he thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible for a general like Xu Yin to be negligent in this kind of thing, so he just gave up and reminded him.
I have to say that Zhao Hongrun and Xu Yin guessed well, when Cai Baohu led thousands of Fen troops to pursue the Chu army of thousands of people, when they passed through a wooded terrain, the woods suddenly killed a group of ambush soldiers, and at the same time, Chu General Dou Lian also ordered a counterattack, and the rest of the ambushed Chu State flanked Cai Baohu's Xiwei battalion one by one.
Seeing this, Cai Baohu laughed after being slightly stunned.
Don't look at this fierce general's rough appearance, as if he is a rammer like Chu Heng, but in fact, once as one of the gangsters in Shangcai and other places, Cai Baohu is a thief and cunning, and belongs to the kind of people who are thick and fine, otherwise, he would not be able to become the battalion general of the Fencheng Army's Xiwei Battalion.
Not to mention that before the pursuit, Xu Yin had already told Cai Baohu to be on guard, even if Xu Yin didn't tell him, how could Cai Baohu fall for such a superficial ambush?
He chased the Chu army along the way, but in fact, he was on guard at any time in his heart.
And now as soon as the Chu army in the forest came out in ambush, Cai Baohu not only did not have the slightest fear, but laughed.
Don't look at the ambush of this Chu army, the number of local Chu soldiers immediately overtook Cai Baohu's Xiwei battalion, but the large number does not mean that it has an advantage.
"Xiwei Battalion, round formation to meet the enemy!"
Cai Baohu shouted loudly.
"Rock solid!"
After a neat shout, thousands of Fencheng troops immediately took Cai Baohu as the center of the circle and arranged a circle array.
Like Fang Cai, it is also the sword and shield hand in front and Chang Ge's hand in the back.
Don't look at the number of Chu troops here is more than Cai Baohu, and it is the army under the command of the latter who is flanked by one left and one right, but it is not difficult to find that the circle formation of the Fen army is as stable as Mount Tai, and no matter if the two Chu armies attack, there is no sign of collapse.
"Lao Tzu guessed that Dou Lian had a trick, but he didn't expect this kind of trick to be unpopular......"
With a grin, Cai Baohu moved his limbs, straddled his mount, took a heavy iron gun from the guards beside him, and said to the deputy general Xu Contempt beside him: "Xu Contempt, you command for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will go to meet that Dou Lian for a while!" ”
The adjutant general named Xu Cong rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "General Cai, Boss Cai, Uncle Cai, the general's army is in the rear, and these two Chu armies can't break through our army's defense line, why should you take the risk yourself?" ”
"Nonsense!" Cai Baohu said angrily: "It is precisely because the general's army is in the rear that Lao Tzu has to hurry up and kill that Dou Lian ......."
After that, he ignored the helpless Xu Contempt on his face, and rushed out as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly.
"Brave soldier, follow Lao Tzu!"
With his loud shout, a team of about 1,000 soldiers in the Xiwei battalion of this Fencheng army followed Cai Baohu.
I saw these soldiers, all five big and three thick, burly, although they were holding a shield in one hand and a war knife in the other, they did not show any strength, but they were all excited, shouting excitedly.
Come to think of it, this so-called brave soldier must be a fierce pawn in the Xiwei Battalion.
"Huh?"
At this time, near the fighting banner of the Chu army, Dou Lian, the defender of Mengshan of the Chu State, also noticed this thousand-man team that was different from the ordinary soldiers of the Fencheng army.
I saw him raise his hand and point in the direction of Cai Baohu, when even a Chu army divided its men and killed Cai Baohu.
At this time, Dou Lian had long since lost the arrogance he had when he scolded Xu Yin, and he saw him staring at the Fencheng Army Xiwei Camp in the distance with a sinking face, and his eyes flashed from time to time.
"What a terrible infantry...... Right? ”
At some point, a bearded man who was also wearing the general's armor appeared next to Dou Lian, and said with a chuckle.
"Wu Mo?" Dou Lian glanced back at the person who came, and said in a low voice as if agreeing: "The foot soldiers of the Wei State are the best in the world, I thought it was just a lie, but I saw it today, and it was really extraordinary...... Dou never thought that my Da Chu's army would actually lose in a head-to-head confrontation. ”
Wu Mo, the general of Chu, also sighed with emotion when he heard this: "Yes, if it is defeated by the Qilu infantry with strange and clever skills, it will be forgotten, if it is not for those strange things in the Lu country, my Great Chu's army will definitely be able to kill the Qi army without leaving a piece of armor, but the Wei army ...... Didn't you say that Wei Wushu had already fallen? ”
Dou Lian rolled his eyes and gave the latter one, how do I know? expressions.
At this time, the scout rushed to say: "Report! On the north side, there was a Wei brigade of men and horses, and there were more than 10,000 people, according to which it was only three miles ......"
"It's coming so fast, Xu Yin of the Fencheng Army......"
Dou Lian muttered, and then said to his colleague Wu Mo: "Withdraw." ”
Wu Mo nodded.
A moment later, the Chu army was once again in a rout, whether it was the army of Dou Lian or the ambush led by the Chu general Wu Mo, they were all under the stubborn defense of the West Guard Battalion of the Fencheng Army, and they had to give up the attack and flee in both directions.
And Chu General Dou Lian and Wu Mo also fled to the east and west sides respectively.
As soon as the two of them left with their front feet, Cai Baohu killed the place with his back feet, and gritted his teeth angrily when he looked at the Chu general Dou Lian, who had fled.
"Fuck! …… The rats of the Chu State escaped quickly? ”
At this time, there may be a brave soldier beside him and said, "General Cai, what should I do?" The brothers haven't finished killing yet! ”
"You ask Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu asked who to go? ”
Cai Baohu replied rudely, and then, he looked at the direction of Dou Lian's escape, and his heart moved slightly.
That Dou Lian...... Seems to have fled to Monsan? In this case......
Licking his lips, Cai Baohu raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, take advantage of the victory to pursue!" …… Kill Monsan! ”
"Wow!"
Nearly a thousand brave soldiers raised their arms and cheered, and the army led by Cai Baohu bit the rout under Dou Lian's command.
Seeing this, Cai Baohu's deputy general Xu Wei did not dare to sit back and watch his battalion general go deep alone, and immediately ordered the troops to march.
As a result, the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army advanced all the way to the bottom of Mengshan, and the Chu army on the road was full of corpses.
Behind the Xiwei Battalion was the more than 10,000 Fencheng troops led by Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army.
And when Xu Yin arrived at Mengshan, Cai Baohu was struggling to attack Mengshan, and looking at the battle situation, the Chu general Doulian, who was guarding Mengshan, seemed to be unable to support it.
Seeing this, Xu Yin immediately ordered the Zhongwei battalion to guard against the Chu army in the direction of Xiangcheng, and threw the Dongwei battalion into the attack on Mengshan, so that the recent situation of Mengshan was precarious, as if it could be conquered by Wei at any time.
But unfortunately, Xiangcheng really sent troops to support as Xu Yin guessed, and there were 20,000 soldiers as soon as he dispatched.
However, Xu Yin was not afraid, on the one hand, he stormed Mengshan, and on the other hand, he blocked the Chu army in Xiangcheng, and fought with the Chu army vigorously.
However, when the news reached Zhao Hongrun's ears, it made the king of Su not react for a while.
What's the situation? Isn't it temptation? How did it suddenly turn into a big war?
Zhao Hongrun was a little confused.
He felt that this sudden battle had happened a little too quickly. (To be continued.) )
