Chapter 930 The unknown is the most terrifying

Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the east of Phoenix City, and it was a miracle that the 100,000 barbarian troops in the city who were suppressed did not dare to move. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In the final analysis, the ability to set **** conventional combat is too strong, after Zhao Yougong's training, coupled with the long-term combat formation, the **** combat literacy is extremely high, and it pays more attention to the whole, compared to the barbarian army, it is too much worse. When Dongfang Jin decided to give up Phoenix City before, many people stationed in Tula City were quite complaining, but now seeing such a situation, they can't help but admire. At that time, the idea of abandoning Phoenix City was not only a matter of great military talent, but it also required considerable courage to do so, because the idea could easily offend people.

Viache and Lothair were helpless about the situation in front of them, because as long as the Orientals did not take the initiative to attack the city, they could not find their flaws. After several engagements, it had to be admitted that it was too difficult to defeat the Orientals head-on in the field with the same number of troops. Lothair is now beginning to trust Dorle's judgment, the Holy Empire has provoked an invincible lion, and of course, it is too late to stop it. The lawyer Gersiyun hurriedly ran into the house, and when he saw that Lothair was still resting, he said, "Your Majesty, the Orientals have not made any changes so far, as you expected, Vyache tentatively sent a force of troops and horses, and the Orientals ignored them. ”

"This Slavic bear, I know that he will not give up, and by this time he will send reinforcements, and it is estimated that all the people of Tchaidov have been swallowed up by this time. By the way, is there any news from Dorle, how are our people? "Lothair has no time to care about the losses of the Slavs, he only wants to know what is the situation of Dorle's soldiers and horses, and his only hope is to count on Dorle to use his military talents and lead the Germanic cavalry on the Tymel Plateau to escape. Sure enough, Ge Siyun shook his head gently, with a sad look on his face, "There is still no news, but Your Majesty, no news at this time is good news." ”

"I hope Dorle can be smarter, don't go to the city of the North Sey, let alone think about rescuing the Slavs, if the people of Dolle suffer heavy losses, then our connection with Kiporos will be completely severed" Lothair has a more long-term view, if there is a grain route, then the Yenisei must be in a very important position. If even Dolle's soldiers and horses are completely annihilated, then the long battle line from Phoenix to Kiporos will be dominated by the Orientals, and at that time, Phoenix will only be left to the mercy of men, but as long as Dolle's soldiers and horses are preserved, with this powerful Germanic cavalry, there is always hope to turn the situation back. From the beginning of the expedition, when did you think that one day the army of more than 100,000 Eastern Crusade would pin all its hopes on 20,000 cavalry.

The strong combat effectiveness of the Germanic cavalry is well known, not only Lothair pays attention to this cavalry, but even Zhao Yougong also pays attention to this cavalry, whether or not this cavalry can be erased is related to the smoothness of the future war. Although the situation in Phoenix City is very favorable, Zhao Yougong is still a little nervous, on the battlefield, no contempt is allowed, when it is approaching, Xiao Zhiyun and Dongfang Jin are still accompanying Zhao Yougong to study the situation in Phoenix, Sanniang walked in with a military report, "Just now the Slavs in Phoenix City sent a group of people out of the city, the number is about four thousand, and the Gao Pet Department did not send troops to intercept it according to the previous orders. In addition, Yang Zaixing's department has the latest news, at the end of yesterday or so, the Germans have left the camp to meet the Slavs to the east, and our men have already pasted from the south, if nothing else, it is expected that around midnight today, we will be able to bite the vanguard of the Germans. ”

Although Baikal was victorious, the Germans were more likely to lose due to lack of preparation, and if the two sides had understood each other equally, the Germans would not have lost so badly. The Germans had just suffered a big defeat, but no one dared to underestimate their combat effectiveness, Dongfang Jin's expression was grim, far from his previous relaxed demeanor, "General Yang has 20,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and he has led the cavalry all year round, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in this battle." Now the subordinates are worried that our people will be arrogant because of a series of victories, and in the event of a rash attack, they are likely to be bitten hard by the Germans. ”

What Dongfang Jin said is a very real problem, but it is a long way from Phoenix City to Taimel Plateau, and it is impossible to write a letter to remind Yang Zaixing, because there is not enough time, and when the news is delivered, it is estimated that the two sides will already fight, "There is no good way now, I can only hope that Yang Shaolie will control the situation." ”

If it was Wu Jue who led the troops to the battle, he would definitely not have this kind of worry, Wu Jue's cavalry tactics were perfect, and his personality was fierce and steady, but Yang Zaixing was different, compared to Wu Jue, he lacked a little stability. In fact, the worries of Zhao Yougong and others are not unreasonable, the morale of the cavalry in the ancient town who had just won a battle was high, coupled with the defeat of the Germans on Lake Baikal, many people were already a little overconfident, especially for the upcoming battle, full of confidence, and even many commanders had begun to discuss how to divide the credit. Ti rode out in all directions, probing the horses non-stop, and news kept coming to Yang Zaixing's hands, and as the Germans got closer and closer, he became nervous. As for why he was nervous, Yang Zaixing couldn't figure it out, rubbed his confused eyes, stroked his forehead and slowly got up. Most of the soldiers have rested, the whole camp is unusually quiet, walking outside the tent, the night is dotted with stars, the wind on the Taimel Plateau is very urgent, raise your head, feel that the sky is very close to your eyes, thinking that when you come to the tent, the mood will be much easier, who knows that the feeling of uneasiness is more serious, Yang Zaixing does not understand, leading the troops to fight for so many years, has never been so worried.

It should be normal to be worried, because the outcome of the battle on the Taimel Plateau will directly affect the future battle situation. What the hell haven't you arranged? It happened that a patrol soldier walked by, and when they saw Yang Zaixing, they quickly stopped to give a military salute, and Yang Zaixing also knew the leader, so he called him over, "Qiao Mai, come and chat with Ben General." ”

Qiao Mai was very surprised, and ordered his brothers to continue patrolling, and he accompanied Yang Zaixing to wander around the camp, Qiao Mai was also a clever person, and soon noticed that Yang Zaixing was a little uneasy, "General, are you worried about the next war?" ”

"Yes, how can you not worry, Your Highness once said that every judgment of a general determines the life and death of many soldiers, so you have to be cautious!" From Yang Zaixing's words, you can hear that his worries are completely instinctive.

Qiao Mai bowed and looked quite relaxed, "General, are you a little too worried, didn't we just fight them on Lake Baikal?" These Germans are not very good, they were able to defeat them easily last time, and they can be defeated this time as well. The general didn't know that in the evening, Commander Tian was still chattering about how to collect people's heads tomorrow. The soldiers are full of confidence that there will be no problems, let...."

Qiao Mai said to himself, but his voice stopped abruptly, because Yang Zaixing, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped, Qiao Mai definitely didn't know that Yang Zaixing at this time was already covered with fear, and his back was cold. Yang Zaixing exhaled deeply, he finally understood where his uneasiness came from, if he hadn't listened to Qiao Mai say these words tonight, maybe he would have made a big mistake. As the saying goes, the proud soldiers will be defeated, and the current ancient town cavalry is a group of proud soldiers, and it was too easy to win the battle of Lake Baikal, so that all the ancient town cavalry inevitably gave birth to contempt. Were the Germans really that vulnerable? Wrong, big mistake, the Germans, especially the Knights of the Holy Cross, who have a rigorous and courageous character, should not be underestimated, if they engage in the battle in their current state, I am afraid that they will be desperately counterattacked by the Germans.

With the answer in his heart, Yang Zaixing's brows condensed, and he took a step back to the big tent, and soon after, the cavalry camp in the night sounded rumbling drums, and the soldiers didn't know what to do, but they still quickly went out of the tent according to the usual training, and the generals in the army also came to the tent. From everyone's puzzled eyes, you can know that they were all blinded by the urgent drumming, and when Yang Zaixing came to the case, someone came out and said, "General, gather me in the middle of the night to wait, is there something wrong?" ”

Yang Zaixing's expression was serious, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Everyone, the drums are gathered, there is no enemy attack, I am looking for you, I just have something to tell you." The previous plan of march was nullified, and the whole army withdrew fifty miles from the three o'clock in the morning. Remember, this is a military order, and if anyone dares to disobey the military order and take the initiative to attack privately, don't blame the military law for being ruthless. ”

Boom, the tent became unusually quiet, and the twenty-odd generals all widened their eyes and mouths were half-open, apparently frightened by the news. What the hell, obviously the cavalry in the ancient town has an obvious advantage, and it is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and the general actually wants everyone to give up the initiative to attack, so that's it, and retreat fifty miles? For a moment, everyone wondered if General Yang was infected with the wind cold and was confused, or how could he give such a nonsensical order. Many people wanted to ask questions, but when they remembered Yang Zaixing's serious expression and warning before, they could only swallow back their words. Yang Zaixing's order could not be changed, everyone could only accept it, and when they walked out of the tent, everyone couldn't help but talk about it again, "Brother Tian, what the hell is the general doing, didn't we just make the arrangement last night, let us cooperate with the soldiers and horses in the south to attack the barbarian army head-on?" Why did you change your mind now, and you have to withdraw your troops, why? ”

The corners of Tian Delong's mouth twitched, and a pinch of his beard was even more fluttering, listening to others asking, the two eyes were stunned, and he snorted angrily, "How did Lao Tzu know what the general was crazy about, and it was okay when he discussed the military situation with the general two hours ago." Hey, it's not me saying, it's come to this, don't think about it, since the general has arranged it like this, it is estimated that he must have some new ideas. ”

Having said that, Tian Delong still had a stomach in his heart, a new idea of fart, there is no need for any ideas at this time, as long as tens of thousands of cavalry attack from the front, they can definitely beat this group of barbarian cavalry into rotten porridge. Siberia is on higher ground, and the sky is brighter than elsewhere, and at three o'clock, more than 10,000 ancient town cavalry began to withdraw their troops. This withdrawal of troops is indeed a little inexplicable, which makes people very unwilling, but there is a fine tradition in the ****, that is, no matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you will still strictly implement the military order. Before the hour came, the cavalry of the ancient town began to withdraw from the central highlands and retreated to the east, gradually narrowing the distance between them and the Germanic cavalry.

In the Germanic cavalry battalion, Dolle and Bertern, Suggs and others gathered in the big tent, discussing how to fight next, everyone was saving up a lot of energy, wanting to get back the lost face on Lake Baikal, this time everyone had to deal with it, and they would definitely not lose to those eastern cavalry. In order to deal with the terrible eastern cavalry, everyone brainstormed and found many feasible ideas, but the news from the spies made the whole big tent silent, "Lord Dorle, I just got the news that the easterners in the east have withdrawn, and the vanguard horses that were approaching us before have also withdrawn. ”

"What?" Dolle stood up suddenly, his eyes showed a look of surprise, he was not happy at all when he heard the news of the withdrawal of the Orientals, he had been preparing for so long, but he punched the air with a punch, and the feeling was really uncomfortable, "Have you figured it out, why did the Orientals retreat, did it come to the reinforcements from Phoenix?" ”

The spy shook his head innocently, "Lord Dorle, the reason for the retreat of the Easterners is still unknown, and our people have increased the search area, and there is no trace of reinforcements from Phoenix City. ”

Pottenne and Sugus glanced at each other, and they both understood what the other meant, what the hell? If you want to say that the Orientals were scared away by the Germanic warriors, they wouldn't believe it if they were killed, "Lord Dolle, no matter what, we have to be more careful, the Orientals can't withdraw their troops for no reason, I'm afraid there are some traps waiting for us." ”

Sometimes things in the world are like this, in the unknown, there will always be all kinds of worries, and the usual withdrawal of troops will make the Germanic people suspicious. So in the central highlands of the Taimel Plateau, a strange scene occurred, the front had been unblocked, and the marching speed of the Germans had slowed down, and the cautious style was more than the ****. Yang Zaixing's withdrawal order did make the Guzhen cavalry lose the best opportunity to destroy the Germanic cavalry, but it also avoided a possible fiasco. In many cases, fighting a war is not based on how many enemies are destroyed, as long as the set goal is achieved.

Dolle's cautious march became farther and farther away from the city of the North Saihe River, and finally allowed the Mongol cavalry of Ogedai to kill unimpeded near the city of the North Saihe River. (To be continued.) )
