Chapter 0415: A Difficult March

Guan Hai left, Sima Ju was still angry, gasped for a while, and he raised his voice: "Someone!" ”

"Dashuai!" A pro-soldier walked in and bowed to answer.

"You go with him, look at this coward, don't let him lead the team." Sima Ju sneered.

He decided to use Guan Hai to train soldiers first, and after capturing Fenggao, he would use this coward to kill chickens and monkeys.

Can't beat Li Yi with his own army of two million? Bah! Even Mr. Ziyuan said that he would win, how could there be a problem? Now that the morale of the army is high, no matter what tricks he has, he can't shake himself at all!

………………

"Woo...... Whining! ”

At the sound of the horn, Guan Hai took the lead, quickly killed from his own formation, and pounced on a group of northern frontier light cavalry who came to harass.

The other party seemed surprised, but reacted quickly, and while quickly loosening the bowstring that had been full, it was flying far away like the wind.

In this way, the Yellow Turban Army suffered a lot, although they were also riding on war horses, but the other side was retreating and shooting back, from a distance, Guan Hai's cavalry seemed to deliberately come to the tip of the opponent's arrow.

A similar experience, Guan Hai had also seen it in Duchang that day, and he had already been mentally prepared, but the newly formed cavalry under his command was not as calm as him.

He roared angrily: "Speed up, speed up, don't hide to the side, don't fight back, stick up, entangle them, and exchange lives for lives!" ”

He knew that the horses of the cavalry under his command were not as good as the other party's, and the horsemanship and archery skills were incomparable, and the equipment was also a lot behind, and the only thing he could rely on was the numerical advantage.

In addition, due to the lack of armor, the horse's weight is smaller, and in short distances, the sprinting power will be superior.

Under Guan Hai's roar, the Yellow Turban cavalry began to accelerate. The Northern Cavalry realized the enemy's intentions, abandoned the task of continuing to harass, and accelerated to flee into the distance.

Guan Hai estimated the distance, and then slowly raised his hand, ready to order the troops to be withdrawn.

There was no need to chase any further, he had seen the hussars' ability to gather and disperse. The thousands of cavalry of the Yellow Turbans were scattered all over the queue, and there were only more than 300 horsemen under him, and once he was ambushed, the consequences would be quite disastrous.

"Rush. Keep rushing, their horses have been running for a long time, we are a new force, kill them, and avenge the brothers who have been killed and injured these days! A loud shout stopped Guan Hai, and Sima Ju's personal soldier brandished his war knife with red eyes, urging the horse to cross Guan Hai and rush to the front.

"Don't chase!" Guan Hai was shocked.

"Revenge, kill!" The morale of the Yellow Turban cavalry was greatly boosted. roared and chased after him, and no one was willing to look back at Guan Hai.

Guan Hai admitted that if he was in Duchang, his brothers also had this kind of morale. Maybe that battle really won't be lost.

But the problem is that while the Yellow Turban is different, the enemies faced are also different, after entering Mount Tai. It was Li Yi who commanded the Northern Xinjiang Army to fight, not the little-known Tai Shici!

A general who is not well-known under his command is so strong, how terrible will Li Yi himself be?

Guan Hai does not have a clear concept yet. But he still reined in his horse.

Amid the neighing of the warhorse, he vaguely heard the faint sound of strings coming from ahead.

He shuddered, that's right, the cavalry of the northern frontier not only gathered and scattered freely, but also had strong crossbows......

Before a thought was finished, he had already skillfully turned the horse's head, and the riding skills he had trained when he was young were firmly remembered by his body, and he could save his life at a critical moment.

Behind him, people screamed, and the sound of horses neighing suddenly sounded, one after another.

………………

In the depths of the twilight, there is the majestic Mount Tai.

When the majestic figure of Mount Tai really appeared in front of him, Sima Ju burst into tears, and he had the urge to kneel down and pray.

He was so excited, of course, not because of the joy of seeing Daizong for the first time, but purely because the journey had finally reached the end and the light was finally seen ahead.

From Laiwu to Fenggao, the total distance is less than 200 miles, and the army has walked for 13 days, and it is not more than 15 miles a day, which is too difficult.

In fact, along the way, except for a few dock forts, the Yellow Turban army did not encounter much resistance on the road, and the name of the millions of Yellow Turbans was enough to scare the life-sparing heroes and people into escaping. Even the only big county town on the road, Yingxian, has become an empty city, and there is no obstacle at all.

The only, and most deadly, problem is the lingering Northern Frontier Light Riders, which are more annoying than the most sticky flies.

Sima Ju tried all means, but in the end it didn't work.

The cavalry, which was originally very promising, counterattacked, because the soldiers' fighting spirit was too strong, and they were successively ambushed by the light cavalry in the northern frontier, and as a result, the 3,000 cavalry that was finally formed lost more than 1,000 people in three days, more than 30 percent, and an average loss of 3 or 400 a day.

In the end, Sima Ju had to equip all the armor and shields with the troops walking on the periphery of the queue, and then organized the soldiers to counterattack with throwing guns and stones, which barely resisted the harassment of the light cavalry in the northern Xinjiang, causing the other party to suffer large casualties.

Because the Northern Frontier Army had never engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and even if there were casualties, they would take their comrades away, so Sima Ju could not determine how many casualties the other side had, and he could only estimate from the intensity and frequency of harassment.

The casualties of the other side are about thirty percent, that is, about 1,000 people.

It looked good, but the price paid by the Yellow Turbans was more than ten times the casualties and the estimated march time of nearly ten days.

Sima Ju didn't know the famous saying that time is life in later generations, but he understood that during the ten days of delay on the road, Li Yi was definitely not idle.

In the night attack of Duchang, the light cavalry in Northern Xinjiang only lost dozens of people, and now, Li Yi has taken a full thousand horsemen for these ten days. Although the losses on his side were greater, because the march was slow, the grain and grass were consumed a lot, and the fatigue of the soldiers was also increasing.

However, the other party's goal is certainly not so simple.

Grain and grass can be grabbed, Li Yi's descendants are all in Fenggao City, and the other cities are all in the pocket of the army.

Fatigue can be recovered, and now that the army has come to the city, even if it is stormy, it will not delay anything, anyway, he has no intention of attacking the city immediately.

Perhaps, as Guan Hai said, what conspiracy is being planned by the other party......

Sima Ju suddenly regretted a little, he knew that he should have discussed this topic with Guan Hai in depth.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the coward left his minions behind and fled to the mountains to the south.

But it's nothing, just like Mr. Ziyuan said, Li Yi's current behavior is to shake the tree, in the face of the absolute strength of the Yellow Turban Army, any conspiracy and trickery of Li Yi is false, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, this battle will not be lost.

"Encamp! Stabilize the camp, and dig a deeper trench for Ben Shuai! ”

"Send more spies out to reconnoitre, within a radius of twenty miles, not a single tree! The bottom of the stone is all opened by Lao Tzu to look carefully, whoever misses it, Lao Tzu will fill the pit with him! ”

"Send some more men to check the ground in the camp...... Do? Don't you know that there are hidden pits and tunnels? Then Li Yi is cunning, maybe he dug the pit in advance, just waiting for us to jump in! Poke with a bamboo pole and chisel with an axe! No matter what he uses, he must make sure that there is no weirdness for Lao Tzu! ”

……

The minions of all sizes were also relieved, but before they could catch their breath, they were driven by Sima Dashuai.

"Isn't this idle? It's just enough to dig more trenches, cut down trees and burn them as firewood, or build siege equipment, what is it to turn over stones, and someone can hide under it? There is also a Tibetan pit......"

"Da Shuai is indeed a little ...... However, it's okay to be careful, after all, we are opposite the hussar general, and he has a lot of fancy intestines, and if he doesn't keep the camp airtight, maybe he will really let him in. ”

"Anyway, the marshal also said that after setting up camp, you can rest for three days, and then besiege or attack other cities...... It's better to be tired than to lose the battle, and the commander also studied the art of war before giving the order, so don't complain. ”

"That's right."

……

The Yellow Turban generals began to complain and slander in private, but as soon as they were relieved by a few veteran leaders, the anger in everyone's hearts also calmed down.

It's not a bad thing for the commander to have a strategy.

Speaking of which, after such an arrangement, the main camp should be regarded as an iron pass, as long as there are no accidents in the big battalion, no matter how many small losses are suffered, the final victory will belong to their side!

Thinking about it like this, the complaints turned into strength, and the Yellow Turban army was in full swing.

There are many people and great strength, and when I look at the head of Fenggao City, I see a large camp like an iron wall, built with a degree visible to the naked eye.

"Fence, uh, I guess it's a fence, almost two feet, right?" Li Yi looked at the enemy camp in the distance.

"It's not far away, it's not far away." Xu Maogong squinted his eyes and responded slowly.

"There are enough trenches in this trench, deep enough, and the rejection of horses and deer is also very dense, Chengdu, when you launch an attack, remember to be cautious." Li Yi casually instructed.

"Don't worry, my lord." Yuwen Chengdu solemnly promised.

Li Yi looked at it and asked again, "There are ...... They are poking everywhere on the ground, is this Feng Shui? ”

"Obviously, they're worried about the authenticity." Guo Jia snorted.

"This camp is really stable enough, I really don't see it, this Sima Ju really has the demeanor of a famous general." Li Yi smacked his tongue.

Liu Bowen sighed: "Lord, you are a world-famous hussar general, invincible, invincible, who dares to be careless against you." Not to mention that Sima Ju was harassed by you all the way, and he was also very awakened, maybe he even got some guidance from some masters......"

Li Yi touched his beard that had grown again, and muttered, "Am I that powerful?" It's almost a frightened bird. ”

Xu Shu said in an obviously sympathetic tone: "Lord, I have been harassed by you sending troops for more than ten days in a row, and I am not a bird with a frightened bow, but I am also scared into a bird with a frightened bow by you." (To be continued.) )
