Chapter 749: Go Forward

If anyone could look down from the sky, they would be amazed by what they saw.

At first, it was just a small fire, and even in the dark of night, it was not particularly conspicuous, because although there were not many around it, there were still many flickering lights, and the fire was only a large one.

Soon, however, as the flame began to move, the city boiled at once, and a little bit of fire lit up, and then moved rapidly, as if the Milky Way had turned upside down, rolling up huge waves, and all the stars in the sky had turned into droplets, and the sea was like a hundred rivers converging.

It was a spectacular scene.

The initial fire did not stop to rest because of the increase in size, but drove straight to the north without stopping. Guided by it, the sporadic firelight gathered together, followed closely, turned into a long dragon, and forwarded with its head held high, leaving Jixian County and rushing to the deepest part of the darkness.

"One thousand three hundred and twenty horsemen under the jurisdiction of the Iron Cavalry, all of them are here, please make it public!" Lu Qiling carried the halberd and reported loudly. The pre-battle preparation of the mounted cavalry was the most troublesome, but as Wang Yu's guard, they also had the fastest assembly and response.

The idea of the main general Lu Qiling is very simple, the armor can be carried by the servants, and the people and horses follow first is the key.

"Keep up!" Wang Yu didn't look back and replied in a deep voice.

"There are four hundred and sixty-eight people under the jurisdiction of the Bloody Blade Battalion of the Hidden Mist Army, all of them are here, please make it public!"

The Blood Blade is Wei Yan's own name, he thinks that his troops are a dagger, which he usually can't see, and when the blade is revealed, it must be stained with blood.

This team is full of five hundred, starting from the Battle of Zhongshan, and has been fighting dozens of battles since then. In total, more than 30 people were lost.

"Keep up!" Wang Yu's tone did not change in the slightest, and his sharp gaze kept looking ahead, as if he had penetrated the boundless darkness and distant distance, as if he was watching the enemy's every move.

"There are four hundred and thirty-six people under the jurisdiction of the Blue Blood Battalion of the Hidden Mist Army, all of them are here, please make it public!"

Tai Shi Ci's troops only fought one battle, but the losses were much higher than Wei Yan's, but. Wei Yan's battles were all fought with Zhao Yun, but Tai Shi Ci single-handedly solved Yan Rou's seven thousand horsemen. After experiencing such a big battle, it can still preserve such a complete strength, and the combat power of the Blue Blood Battalion can be seen.

"Keep up!"

"The Taishan army destroyed the front, broke the formation, cut the horses, and pulled out the city...... All the camps are open, please make it public! ”

Xu Huang came the latest. However, it is not because of slackness, but the scale of the Taishan army is too large, in addition to the two battalions of soldiers and horses of Guan Ping and Hu Cai, there are six battalions and nearly 20,000 soldiers. In such a hurry, it was not easy for him to count the troops so clearly.

"Keep up!" Wang Yu nodded. shouted the order: "Light more torches, light up the flag, and sing the war songs...... Don't bother with those who have fallen behind, they will follow up on their own......"

"No!" The left and right guards responded with a bang.

More torches swarmed the generals. The flag is lit up as if it were daytime, and the bright red flag is dancing unyieldingly against the strong wind, shining very brightly. The cheers that soared into the sky sounded again, and the loud battle songs resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Battle City South. Rushing to the yellow dust, like electric drums and thunder.

The enemy is fierce, the horses are Yin, and the array is like a cloud.

The long sword strikes, the weak roar, and the flying dizzy dazzles and gallops to the stars.

The tiger rode and jumped, Hua Xuan swirled, and Zhu Huo took off the smoke.

Xiao Xiong slashed, the high flag was waving, and the horns were floating and screaming. ”

is different from the Qingzhou generals who have a high fighting spirit, but Zhang Liao's heart is full of ups and downs.

Fanaticism, only this word can describe the current state of the Qingzhou Army. With this frenzied gesture, inspire all...... Even the extraordinary combat power is obviously Wang Yu's strategy to rescue Juyong City.

What are the wonders of this strategy? Zhang Liao has been pondering since he left the city, but he has not found a definite answer.

The obvious advantage is that this way of sending troops can avoid the danger of flanking and returning to the greatest extent.

When the army left the city, the eyeliner and spies in the city may not be able to figure out what happened, and by the time they came back to their senses, the city gates were completely closed. Even if they still had some unknown secret methods to leave the city without going through the city gate, by the time they delivered the news, the army of Qingzhou had already arrived at the foot of Juyong City and launched an attack on the main force of Xianbei.

Even if Badun received the information and immediately made a decision to send troops, it would be too late, not to mention that Badun might not dare to send troops immediately, because this information was too different from the previous information. The previous intelligence has always said that Wang Yu will not send troops, and it will be too late to send troops today.

Finding that there was no chance to take advantage of it, Badun should have already considered withdrawing his troops, but at this time, a diametrically opposite piece of information came, with this person's shrewdness and prudence, how could he not have any suspicion at all? Zhang Liao was more than 90 percent sure that he would hesitate to wait and see for a few days and collect enough information before launching an operation.

This should be the biggest benefit.

In addition, as far as the upcoming Battle of Juyong is concerned, the 20,000 Qingzhou Army, no matter how fast and sudden it appears, is unlikely to form a tactical raid, but the strategic raid is certain, and it should have a certain impact on the psychology of the Xianbei commander.

The Qingzhou army has now completely blocked the official road, giving up all baggage except weapons and armor, and the marching speed has also reached the extreme. Even if Jixian still has eyeliner, it is too late to send the information out, and before seeing Wang Yu's military flag, the Xianbei people will only get the news that the Qingzhou army is still standing still.

This is the effect of the strategic raid, the Xianbei people will definitely find the arrival of the Han army, and they can also make preparations for the battle in time, but their preparation must not be sufficient.

However, this trick is not without drawbacks.

The most admired thing in the art of war is order, and conversely, chaos is the most disgusting and feared by generals. Whether or not they can maintain order on the march and in battle is the important, if not the only criterion, that distinguishes elite troops from the rabble.

The current performance of the Qingzhou Army is actually subverting common sense, because there was no preparation before the war, not even a warning, and it was suddenly launched.

Out of fanatical worship of Wang Yu, the soldiers certainly completed the assembly...... To be precise, it should be gathered - due to the small number of the two armies of Hidden Mist and Agni, the number of people accompanying them was quickly confirmed, but the Taishan army, which had a large number of people, was much worse, Xu Huang only had time to confirm that the battalion officers of each battalion were following, and he didn't count how many soldiers came.

At present, the Qingzhou Army's high-speed march does not rely on orders, not queues, and military qualities that have been trained for a long time, but simply fanatical support for the commander-in-chief.

Looking up at the hunting and fluttering battle flags in the blazing firelight, Zhang Liao was very uncertain, not knowing how long the effect of this lantern could last, and whether it could run through the whole process.

The more proficient he is in the art of war, the more he will feel that this strategy based on courage and enthusiasm is unreliable, and Zhang Liao is not very familiar with the situation of the rest of the hussar army after all, so he is worried.

And there is a very real problem in front, the art of war has clouds: a hundred miles and for profit, then capture the three generals, the strong first, the tired last, the eleventh coming; Fifty miles and fight for profit, then the general, the law is half to ...... This is the teaching of the soldier saint, and many generals have followed it.

Jixian County is one hundred and fifty miles away from Juyong City, and the battle distance is almost one hundred and twenty or thirty miles, looking at Wang Yu's posture, it is obvious that he wants to complete this journey in one go, and immediately enter the battle after a hundred miles?

This is a taboo for soldiers!

Zhang Liao was worried, even if Wang Yu had a way to solve all the above problems, there was still a more realistic problem in front of him, the strength of the two sides.

Xianbei is retreating only the tribal shepherds, the elite has not moved much, and the balance of strength between the two sides has not changed. Wang Yu didn't wait for the baggage, and drove straight in, looking like he wanted to settle the battle in one day, but the problem is, it would be a big battle with a scale of 100,000 people!

Even in the history of China for thousands of years, such a major war is rare, and even the historians who cherish words like gold will write a few sentences about it.

Solve it in a day?

Worried, Zhang Liaoce immediately stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Junhou, Changping City is not far ahead, do you want to rest here, at least pull the queue out, I'm afraid it's ...... like this now."

"Hmm...... Then take a break. Contrary to Zhang Liao's expectations, Wang Yu, who had a layer of awe-inspiring expression on his body from the moment he walked out of the council hall, was actually much easier to speak than he imagined, he nodded without thinking, and approved Zhang Liao's suggestion without hindrance.

However, Wang Yu's next sentence directly gave Zhang Liao a heavy blow: "However, there is no need for a queue or anything, such a march is the fastest, if the speed of the march is delayed in order to maintain the queue, then why should we make such a play?" ”

"But......" Zhang Liao froze for a moment, and a thousand words were stuck in his throat.

This is not completely unreasonable, keeping the queue moving, it is certainly not as fast as a single person or a squad. But the question is, isn't it time to go to war? Are you facing an enemy that is several times stronger?

"Pass my general's order, all the troops will enter the city in turn, rest for half an hour, and continue on the road, the city has already prepared food and hot water, and those who do not bring all their clothes and armor can also collect it by themselves, this matter, it will be troublesome to Wenyuan and Gongming. Ziyi and Wen Chang also worked a little harder, and took your people around to guide the direction of the follow-up troops and convey military orders. ”

"Whoa!" As soon as they heard this, how could the generals not know that the lord had already made a decision? Otherwise, it is still far from dawn, where is the hot food and water enough for 20,000 troops in a small county town in Changping? Well, and armor......

Zhang Liao is not the only one who understands the art of war, and after the initial frenzy, the generals have more or less similar concerns. But now when he saw Wang Yu's prepared posture, the generals immediately calmed down, no matter what his reality was, since the lord who had won a hundred battles had prepared in advance, what else was there to worry about in this battle?

Go ahead!
