In Pingzhou City, Wushu Gu is listening to Best's advice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A hundred miles of travel took only two hours for the cavalry, and they received news from the scouts shortly after the Dayu army left the city.

"Now is not the time to attack the army of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, for an army, the longer his supply line is, the more dangerous it is, so we have to wait for the army of the Great Chongqing Kingdom to come to the city of Pingzhou, where we use the trenches to consume them, and at the same time wait for the opportunity to use the cavalry to cut off their supply lines and trap them in Pingzhou City."

Best placed a drawing he had drawn on the table and told the story of the vultures and Bei Shan.

Wushu Gu and Bei Shan glanced at each other, they really didn't have a good way now.

The cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom is very precious, and their cavalry is equally precious, and no one can bear the responsibility of losing 120,000 cavalry.

And after several failed battles, they became more and more cautious, and it was clear that they had a greater advantage in fighting near the city of Pingzhou.

"Even so, we can also send a cavalry to test the reality of this army, and if there is a hole in their army, we can also take the opportunity to attack. ”

Best didn't object to the Vultures, as it would be a good idea to harass them with a small cavalry to slow them down.

After deciding on the strategy of engagement, Wushu Gu and Bei Shan left, and after a while, the 10,000-strong team led by Gu Duo set out from Pingzhou City to the army of the Great Yu Kingdom.

At this time, the army of the Great Chongqing State had already marched twenty miles from Shanhaiguan.

Here, Lu Fei left 3,000 men to hold on, using the chariot formation as a barrier to establish a supply point, and the twenty-mile road was very close to the cavalry.

This way, once the barbarian cavalry surrounded this supply point, their cavalry would be able to arrive for reinforcements within an hour.

After constructing a supply point, Lu Fei led his troops to move on, and according to their marching plan, they would arrive at Pingzhou City the next morning, so they didn't go very fast along the way.

In the process of marching, their 1st Division of Huben was at the forefront as the vanguard, the 3rd Division of Huben led by Lei Ming was at the end, and Luo Xin's army was in the middle.

As before, this time the chariots and cavalry also marched on both sides of the army, forming a chariot formation at any time to defend against the attack of the barbarian cavalry.

From the morning to the evening, after marching for eighty miles, Lu Fei ordered to set up camp, and the chassars passed the news back and forth along the way.

When they were halfway there, a barbarian cavalry of 10,000 people appeared nearby, and Lu Fei, who got the news, did not stop but continued to move forward.

If it was the previous army of the Great Yu Kingdom, he was very worried that the 10,000-strong team would suddenly attack, but now he is not afraid at all.

Because they can form a hollow phalanx in a short time after they charge, this is the advantage brought by the military reform, and each unit can respond quickly when facing the enemy.

However, as if enraged by his arrogant attitude, when they were less than a mile away again, the barbarian cavalry suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Great Yu army, which was marching in a long serpentine shape.

The chasseurs first transmitted the dynamics of the barbarian cavalry to the marching infantry phalanx through the banner.

At this time, the infantry phalanx that received the news began to change rapidly from the walking formation, and each company quickly found its position in the hollow phalanx.

The original long snake formation quickly turned into a walking hollow phalanx, and if you look at it from above, it looks like the word "mouth" with a green border is constantly walking.

When Gu Duo rushed in front of him and found that the army of the Great Yu Kingdom had completely changed its shape, he immediately turned his horse's head.

If he continued to rush, it would mean death, after all, he only had 10,000 men, and the main purpose was to attack.

But now it seems that he basically can't do it, because the army of the Great Yu State is too tightly defended.

With a hint of worry in his eyes, Gu Duo and his cavalry suddenly bypassed the army and headed towards Shanhaiguan.

"General, that's the stronghold we built." A cavalry division commander said urgently.

Lu Fei said: "Don't worry, 10,000 people can't break through the fortress formed by the car formation, continue to advance, the real war hasn't started yet." ”

Delayed by the barbarian cavalry, Lu Fei was stationed twenty miles away from Pingzhou City.

The next day they continued their march and arrived at the foot of Pingzhou in the morning, when he finally got a complete view of what is now Pingzhou City.

The army gathered one after another, thundering, and Luo Xin and the others also arrived in front of the battle, and they observed Pingzhou City through binoculars.

At the same time, the soldiers began to set up camp here, because the battle could not be decided in a matter of days.

Pingzhou City.

Best was observing the Great Yu army outside the city, and at this moment, he was holding a telescope in his hand, but his face was getting more and more ugly.

"Damn, when will the natives of Asia be able to have such sophisticated equipment?" Best cursed, "This is already comparable to the armies of Europe." ”

Hearing this, Bei Shan said: "In just six years, this emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom named Xiao Ming has such an army. ”

"Six years, it's incredible." Best put down the monoculars.

Here he saw flintlock pistols, field guns, and even hot air balloons in the air, a picture that could only be seen in Europe.

"Pray God bless us." Best's throat was a little dry, if this war was also a big battle in Europe, he could think of the cruelty of war.

Bei Shan frowned, although he didn't understand what God was in Best's mouth, but he understood that it was definitely not a kind word.

When the army of the Great Yu State was encamped, the artillery on the city wall of Pingzhou also began to prepare, and the slave soldiers entered the trenches with weapons, ready to go to war at any time.

On the other side, Lu Fei and the three of them looked at the 200-meter-long trench with some frowns, the field artillery did not pose any threat to the soldiers in these trenches, and only the mortar artillery could kill and injure the enemy in the trench.

But with the mortar's yardstick, it was fortunate that one out of ten shells could fall into the trench.

"Fortunately, the recruits recruited this time do not have enough muskets, otherwise this time it would be troublesome." Lu Fei looked at the recruits who were encamping.

The recruits wore plate armor and held swords in their hands.

Because the military workshop could not produce 90,000 muskets in such a short time, in fact, 40,000 of the recruits who rushed to the battlefield were still wearing obsolete plate armor.

They were strange when these strange recruits entered the city, and now they finally understood the cleverness of the Military Aircraft Department.

It turned out that these recruits had their own use against the barbarians' cold-weapon troops.

"Let the recruits in plate armor fight for the trenches." Lu Fei pointed to Pingzhou, once the trench was captured, the city of Pingzhou would be finished.
