Chapter 574: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is Rushing at Night, Attacking the Guanning Army at Night
When night fell, Wu Sangui was still thirty miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion, and it was very unwise to rush overnight, Wu Sangui was very experienced, and knew that Xu Yifan grew freely in the Daimyo's Mansion and was very familiar with the grass and trees here, if he marched overnight, if he was ambushed by Xu Yifan, it would be miserable, and now the Manchurian army has the initiative, Wu Sangui has no need to take that risk.
Wu Sangui ordered to be stationed on the spot, preparing to rush to the Daimyo's Mansion early tomorrow morning.
However, it is obvious that Xu Yifan will not give him such a chance, this time Xu Yifan personally went out and brought out all the elite cavalry in the first town of Tianwei Army and Tongzhou Town, just the musketeers, nearly 400 people were transferred, and it was still 3,000 elite cavalry, carefully selected from the two towns!
Wu Sangui's prediction was good, Xu Yifan is very familiar with the grass and trees of the Daimyo's Mansion, even if he closes his eyes, he will not find the wrong road, when he followed Lu Xiangsheng to learn art, Lu Xiangsheng used the terrain of the Daimyo's Mansion as a template, and demonstrated a variety of combat strategies for Xu Yifan, it can be said that if Xu Yifan can't fight this battle here, even if Zhu Jie comes, it won't be much better.
Xu Yifan is not aiming at Wu Sangui's forward elite cavalry, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is well-trained, most of them are veterans who have been with the enemy for a long time, and they are the most difficult existence to mess with, now it is necessary to avoid the real and make a false move, attack on Wu Sangui's weakest area, and give Wu Sangui a fierce blow, even if he can't knock Wu Sangui out, he must let Wu Sangui spit blood!
Goal - Rear infantry promised!
That is, Xu Yifan has such courage, let go of the elite of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and not fight, once the rear army loses, let the Guanning Iron Cavalry in front surround it, and the mighty army will be surrounded here that day, but Xu Yifan is just this way of playing, I am not afraid that you will come to surround me, as long as you Wu Sangui has this ability, then you just come!
When the time just came to Chou, Wu Sangui's army had just rested after a long march, Xu Yifan led the cavalry to arrive, when Xu Yifan's elite cavalry advanced all the way to the rear army was only six or seven hundred steps away, and suddenly began to accelerate, rushing towards Wu Sangui's rear army!
It's only six or seven hundred steps, for the elite cavalry, it is just a blink of an eye, you can rush to the opponent's camp, Wu Sangui's rear army was completely awakened by the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, and the soldiers who were lying in their clothes rubbed their eyes vigorously, and just got up, they saw a team of cavalry surging in the distance!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The infantry under the command of Wu Sangui began to roar bitterly, but at this time, it was too late to send another warning, and the cavalry had already begun to rush into the distance less than 100 steps away from the camp, and the elite cavalry of the Tianwei army waved the sabers in their hands and broke directly into the camp!
Xu Yifan held a bright silver spear, took the lead, and launched a surprise attack towards the enemy, the bright silver spear in his hand continued to assault forward, one by one the soldiers were directly provoked by Xu Yifan, facing the powerful assault of three thousand elite cavalry, the entire rear army camp was all in chaos, Wu Sangui's soldiers were like headless flies, fleeing in all directions, but how could they escape the pursuit of the cavalry?
A large number of cavalry rushed up, and the soldiers were drowned under the iron hooves of the elite cavalry of the Tianwei army, the Wu army suffered heavy casualties, and the entire rear army of the Wu army was all in chaos, and the screams completely tore apart the quiet night sky!
Wu Sangui was completely awakened from his sleep by the terrible screams and the neighing of the war horse, Wu Sangui jumped up, and jumped out of his military tent in a few steps, originally Wu Sangui thought that even if the opponent sneaked attack, it was also a direct sneak attack on his front army, but did not expect that the opponent did not sneak attack the front army, but went back to the back and attacked his rear army!
Yes......
Wu Sangui jumped like thunder, and roared angrily: "Order, order, mobilize the right wing cavalry to the north to immediately rush to the rear army, force the enemy army to me, order the left wing cavalry to detour to the opponent's rear, Lao Tzu wants to completely surround them here and eat them in one bite!" ”
Although Wu Sangui was annoyed, he also knew very well in his heart that the other party's sneak attack would not have many troops, and he had an army of 60,000, so he only needed to stabilize his position and come to a counter-encirclement, then he had every chance to turn defeat into victory and annihilate this enemy army here!
However, it is late at night, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was originally resting, and the 60,000 army stretched for several miles, even from the left and right flanks to the rear army, there was a distance, not only that, but the army still needed to set off with the whole army, where could it be rushed to the rear army in a short time?
In this short period of time, the entire rear army has become a mess, the Wu army is full of casualties, blood is flowing like a river, the combat power of the Tianwei army's elite cavalry is not covered, the attack is unprepared, three thousand men and horses in the position unscrupulously back and forth, there will be no less than thousands of casualties under the assault of the Tianwei army's elite cavalry, the Wu army is all retired!
However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will definitely not give the Tianwei Army Elite Cavalry too long, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry on the left and right wings only took a quarter of an hour to begin to surround from the rear, trying to attack the Tianwei Army Elite Cavalry from both sides, and the army slowly pressed up, compressing the space of the Tianwei Army's elite cavalry step by step!
Once the two wings of the Guanning Iron Cavalry were encircled, the Tianwei Army was completely encircled, and it was not so easy to get out.
Xu Yifan's eyes were full of cold light, his spear was raised, and he shouted angrily: "Order, the army will immediately form a team, arrow formation, in the direction of due south, assault!" ”
Due south, that is where Wu Sangui's Chinese army is, and it is where the elite combat power of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is, although there are not many troops, but it is definitely not inferior to the combat power of the Eight Banners of Manchuria!
The elite cavalry of the Tianwei army did not hesitate, and immediately launched a fierce assault in the direction of due south, ignoring the Guanning iron cavalry that came up from both sides!
In the distance, Wu Sangui's eyebrows raised, and his heart was extremely surprised, what is the mighty army doing this day? Even if you want to directly attack your own Chinese army from the rear? This is inevitably too bold, don't say that you are only a few thousand, even if you are tens of thousands of elites, you don't want to easily break through my Chinese position!
"Order, the Chinese army is ready to attack!"
Wu Sangui shouted.
Although the combat strength of the Chinese army is ready to meet the battle, but the attack of the Tianwei army is at a loss and puzzled, there is such a war, the army is about to encircle, the Tianwei army wants to escape, then the best way is to tear open the encirclement of the Guanning iron cavalry on the left and right wings, and kill it in one fell swoop while the encirclement of the Guanning iron cavalry has not been completely completed! Who would have thought that this Tianwei army would be so bold and do the opposite? Don't talk about the soldiers below, even Wu Sangui didn't think of it!
Suddenly, the Chinese army was a little panicked, and the Tianwei army's elite cavalry was like a rainbow, swooping down on the Chinese army, fighting and retreating, and it was unspeakably miserable!
Wu Sangui was furious, roared, picked up the Qinglong Sword in his hand, and led a pro-army to pounce on the Tianwei Army, he must withstand the charge of the Tianwei Army!
