Chapter 310: Intention (I)
After some heated discussions, it was better for the Imperial front-line commander to finally decide to retreat, leaving 10,000 infantry behind to buy time, in other words, this 10,000-strong force had already been abandoned as cannon fodder. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info facts have proved that the commander of the Ningyuan Empire is still too petty, too underestimating the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, the 10,000 cannon fodder troops did not have the slightest resistance in front of the 10,000 heavy infantry led by Qin Yan, almost a face collapsed, scattered and fled, and then, the light cavalry of the lone wolf army went out, pursued along the way, wanton slaughter, 10,000 cannon fodder in the end can only go back alive There are only a few hundred, and the others either fell on the battlefield or fell under the arrows of the light cavalry, and there are more who fled into the sea for their lives, life and death are unknown.
After this battle, the first battle of Niujiao Mountain and the coastal plain was successful, Chen Xin, Shi Ping, and Li Yue were divided into three routes, Li Yue led the headquarters of light cavalry to pursue the enemy's main force along the way, Shi Ping went to the Niujiao Mountain defense line to deliver supplies, Chen Xin and Qin Yan joined forces together, and wanted to advance to Yanhai County in the southwest, this is the first time in recent years that the army of the Eastern Saint Empire has set foot on the land of the Rather Empire, and it is also the first counterattack of the Eastern Saint Empire for many years, and all the soldiers have a great morale, especially the Dongzhou Army, which has been pressed and fought for so many years, and today finally has the opportunity to be ashamed, Everyone was very excited, and more of them were glad that the empire had produced a third prince with such courage, and before they knew it, Yang Xing's reputation had soared, and no one could compare.
The cannon fodder of the Ningyuan Empire failed to buy enough time for the main force, and was stopped by Chang Xun's 20,000 iron cavalry only a day's journey from Yanhai County, and in the face of 40,000 enemy troops, Chang Xun did not rush out arrogantly, but tried his best to block it, waiting for the reinforcements behind to come and fight again.
The commander of the Ningyuan Empire was not given in vain, and immediately issued an order to use 10,000 light cavalry to contain Chang Xun's heavy cavalry, and use the speed advantage to harass the flanks, so that Chang Xun suffered a small loss, but there is no good way to take those flies-like existence, this is the defect of the single class, as long as the enemy grasps the weakness and strikes, it is difficult to recover the disadvantage.
Fortunately, Li Yue's lone wolf army arrived in time to relieve the anxious Chang Xun from the siege, and free up his hands to continue to contain the enemy's main force. The lone wolf legion is also a light cavalry, but whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or weapons and equipment, it is stronger than the other party by more than one grade, several times less, the light cavalry of the Ningyuan Empire can not withstand the huge pressure, while fighting and retreating, the lower the morale is, from soldiers to generals, there is almost no courage to fight again, and they simply retreat back to the stagnant main formation. The war was fought like this at the beginning, and I would rather the commander of the Imperial Front not understand that Yang Xing and they were also a little blindsided, and all this seemed to be too smooth, and it was as if they were acting.
After discussion, Chang Xun and Li Yue were stationed in the southeast and northeast of the enemy camp, blocking the enemy's retreat, waiting for Chen Xin, Shi Ping, and Qin Yan to come and converge, and sent a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of Yanhai County.
That night, the commander of the Ningyuan Empire sent someone to negotiate, the person who came was not the commander himself, but a member of his subordinates, Yang Xing got the news and wanted to hear what the other party wanted to say or what tricks he wanted to play, but was stopped by Chang Xun and Yuan Fang, the reason was that he could not meet with a defeated enemy general in the body of His Royal Highness, and he was not the main general, Yang Xing did not have to condescend.
A team of female soldiers escorted the people to a tent near the big tent of the Chinese army, confiscated their sabers and pushed them into the tent, Sang Rou, Jieyue, Ouyang Xianxue and Huo Bingyan followed up the big tent, pressed the handle of the knife, and stared at the enemy general vigilantly, while the group of Ning Yuanjun who came together did not even enter the camp and rushed back after being disarmed.
In the big tent, Chang Xun was in the first place, Yuan Fang was sitting on the side, he was just here to listen, and Chang Xun had to call the shots.
The person who came was unceremoniously pushed into the big tent, and Chang Xun said coldly: "Who is coming, report your name." Yuan Fang rolled his eyes, why is there always such a clichΓ© dialogue at this time? You can't ask anything else, like have you eaten it? Something, the atmosphere isn't going to be so tense, is it?
The person who came straightened his armor and said loudly: "I am Wuhua, the city lord of Yanhai City, who is Your Excellency?" As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Fang curiously, no way, Yuan Fang was too dazzling, he was still wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform, he was actually sitting next to Chang Xun, this was obviously not an ordinary soldier, Wu Hua even guessed whether this young man would be the third prince of the Eastern Saint Empire.
Chang Xun reported to his home: "I am Chang Xun, the commander of the Tiger Roaring Legion of the Imperial Forbidden Army, say, what do you have to say when you come over this time." β
Yuan Fang secretly said that Chang Xun, this old guy is really direct enough, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he was also very curious, what did the other party come to surrender for, it was absolutely impossible, although they were at a disadvantage, but they had not yet reached the point of exhaustion, not without the strength of a battle.
Wuhua looked around at the Sang Rou girls around him, and said, "They are all beauties." Then, he said to Chang Xun: "Is this your way of hospitality?" β
Chang Xun said coldly: "It's hard to say whether it's a guest or an enemy now." β
Wu Hua shrugged his shoulders and ignored Chang Xun, but turned his head to look at Yuan Fang, and his tone was a little polite: "Your Excellency is the third prince of the Eastern Saint Empire?" β
Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and said, "General Wuhua's vision is really good. β
When Wu Hua heard this, he was sure that this product was the third prince, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and out of respect for the imperial power, he gave a military salute and said, "Our Royal Highness the Prince asked me to come over, just to ask His Highness a word." β
Yuan Fang and Chang Xun glanced at each other, but they didn't expect this thing to really believe that Yuan Fang was the third prince, looked at the square-headed Wuhua, and simply looked at what he was going to say: "Oh? β
Wuhua looked around at Sang Rou and the women, and saw that Yuan Fang had no intention of retreating, so he simply didn't hide it: "His Royal Highness wants to know, Your Highness, whether you will continue to cooperate." β
Yuan Fang frowned slightly, he heard a lot of things from this sentence, cooperation, what is cooperation? Yuan Fang remained silent, Chang Xun was silent, and after a while, Yuan Fang said to Sang Rou: "Bring a chair for General Wuhua." Wuhua's hanging heart was slightly lowered, and judging from Yuan Fang's change in attitude, it seemed that the two sides still had the possibility of cooperation.
Sang Rou brought the chair, although Wuhua was amazed by the appearance of these female soldiers, but he didn't look at it much, he thought that those who could be here should be the personal guards of the young prince, and it might even have anything to do with it, since there was a chance to cooperate, the necessary politeness should still be maintained.
gave Yuan Fang a military salute again, and after thanking him, Wuhua sat down, looked at Yuan Fang with blank eyes, and waited for this fake prince to speak.
