Turbulent Times Chapter 1261: Take 100,000 people as bait

Although the 100,000 bandits were defeated in a short period of time, the 20,000 people led by Wang Junlin killed less than 20,000, and most of the bandits escaped.

Wang Junlin knew that if these people did not take the opportunity to kill more people, at dawn, Yang Su sent someone to bring some carts of food over, and immediately became Yang Su's soldiers again, so he led his people to chase after the bandits. , chasing him until dawn.

In the beginning, the leader of the bandits was chased and tried to lead people to fight back, but they were all easily killed, so in the end, no one dared to turn back, and they just ran away desperately until they got into the foot of a big mountain. jungle.

Entering the mountains, the rogues regained some courage. The surrounding terrain is complex, which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. The rogues live in the mountains all the year round and know how to use the woods and rocks to protect themselves. In addition, a group of rogues with more than 20,000 people nearby was sent by Yang Su to support them.

Wang Junlin led his men to fight a few more moderate battles with the rogues in the mountains. The rogues were defeated, gave up their positions again, and began to flee to the deep mountains one after another.

A flying eagle fell from the sky and landed on the arm of a military officer next to Wang Junlin. This person was an official of the Military Intelligence Department and one of Shen Guoer's capable subordinates. After receiving the information, he looked dignified and ran to report to Wang Junlin: "My lord, just received the news that Yang Su's 50,000 elites have been broken into pieces and hidden in this mountain range, and they have rushed to us at this time." , less than ten miles away from us."

Wang Junlin's expression was fixed, and naturally he would not panic at all. He sneered and said, "The 100,000 bandits from Han Xiangguo are indeed the bait that Yang Su still came out. Maybe Yang Su wants these 100,000 people to consume our troops and resources Physical strength, and then bring his 50,000 elite to deal with our tired soldiers who are less than half of theirs."

Yuchi Jingde also had a sneer on his face, and said with a fierce fighting spirit: "My lord, Yang Su has been hiding in Hongnong County for more than eight years, and I'm afraid he is still on the battlefield eight years ago!"

"That's right." Luo Shixin also laughed and echoed. Their weapons and equipment are much more advanced than the opponent's. At the same time, their military training methods are far beyond the imagination of the world. The army under his command did their best.

"Although this is the case, the old thief Yang Su must not be underestimated." Wang Junlin said with a smile, and at the same time pointed to a gentle **** in front of the left, saying: "That hillside is very suitable for our army to attack!"

After speaking, he rode forward, and more than 20,000 cavalry accelerated together, and the leopards flocked to the distant hillside. There are few trees on that gentle hillside, and the position is stuck on the main road into the mountain.

Under the command of Luo Shixin and Yuchi Jingde, more than 20,000 cavalry from the Whirlwind Battalion and the Tiger Battalion quickly occupied a favorable terrain.

Yang Su's 50,000 elite also came very quickly, and with the arrival of Yang Su's 50,000 elite, the bandits who were driven to the mountains these days gradually appeared, and soon 50,000 to 60,000 people gathered, Surrounded here from a distance, obviously as long as Wang Junlin and others will meet Yang Su's spirit

When Rui fights, they show a slight defeat, and they will rush over like wolves.

Wang Junlin didn't see Yang Su, but the group of elite enemy troops that came was indeed about 50,000 people, and they quickly formed a square formation as soon as they appeared. The cavalry and infantry covered each other and retreated to the other side of the road hillside.

Wang Junlin asked Luo Shixin, who took the initiative to ask for a battle, to lead more than 4,000 cavalry under his command to rush over to test the opponent when he first appeared. Tactics, the rogues are naturally unable to deal with it, and even Goguryeo's strong army will suffer a lot. But today, after the first wave of crossbow arrows shot into the enemy's formation, although dozens of people screamed and fell off their horses, the formation recovered quickly, and immediately a sky full of feathered arrows shot back.

Whirlwind Battalion had excellent armor, even the face was protected, but in order to reduce weight, the horses had no protection, so they retreated quickly, but more than a dozen horses were still injured during the retreat.

The seven cavalrymen were thrown off by the wounded horses. Before their companions could save them, the other party still brought over twenty short spears and pinned the seven cavalrymen to the ground, dying miserably on the spot.

The battle started almost before the enemy and us had time to make any preparations. As soon as we made contact, the invincible Far Eastern Army suffered a small loss when we came to the Central Plains. The battalion soldiers have never encountered a situation.

Luo Shixin was furious and wanted to lead his men to rush there. Wang Junlin ordered them to blow the horn to retreat.

"Shixin, Yuchi, this is our first contact with the other party, and we haven't found any flaws in the other party so far. At present, we still mainly use long-range attacks and harassment to test, and the speed of the horse can be increased as fast as we can! The other party is obviously an elite soldier. Strong army, and the enemy's strength is several times that of ours, we must not underestimate the enemy." Wang Junlin pointed to the enemy's right wing and ordered in a low voice.

The enemy lined up in a well-regulated phalanx, with about 20,000 infantry in the center, and more than 30,000 cavalry scattered on both sides of the infantry. There are not many flaws in this formation, but it may not be able to withstand the impact of more than 20,000 cavalry from the Far East Tornado Battalion and Tiger Battalion. As long as Yuchi Jingde and Luo Shixin can confuse the infantry in the center, Wang Junlin can lead the 500 cavalry around him, wearing steel armor newly produced by the salt field in Fanyang County, with abnormal defensive capabilities, to step forward from the front.

This time, it was Yuchi Jingde who led his 10,000 light cavalry to roll down the hill like the wind. They had practiced this tactic countless times, and practiced it countless times on the enemy.

There was no one shouting, no horn drums cheering, and the sound of horseshoes was the only melody in the wind. The smoke and dust brought up by the horseshoes rolled up, getting faster and thicker, and suddenly, the trajectory of the smoke and dust turned, and countless sharp arrows rose into the air.

Not only were the crossbow arrows shot by the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Tiger Camp, but the enemy army also shot white feathers all over the sky at the same time. The wind of death is on the horse

Whistling back and forth, some people landed while galloping, and unowned horses hissed sadly and fled out of the battlefield. Most of the Tiger Battalion cavalry were still galloping, shooting arrows with one-handed crossbows while galloping.

Most of the feathered arrows shot by the enemy have lost their targets. Hitting a fast-moving horse requires very good archery skills. These elite soldiers secretly trained by Yang Su may have enough training, but they have never encountered a tiger camp before. This kind of enemy who is good at riding and shooting has no choice but to shoot aimlessly.

During the gallop, Yuchi Jingde shot three arrows, and each arrow took away a life. The cavalry behind him also maintained the same shooting rhythm as the general. In order to maintain the speed, most of the fast-paced crossbow shots missed. However, due to the dense formation of the opponent, more than 300 crossbow arrows still hit the target. .

It's just that although many people in the enemy line screamed and fell off their horses, there was still no chaos. It can be seen that the elite soldiers trained by Yang Su secretly had extremely strict discipline. Moreover, the enemy general on a horse waved his command flag, and someone raised a shield from the depths of the phalanx to protect the spearmen in the front row. More soldiers in the back row raised their bows and arrows and shot at the heads of the cavalry moving at high speed.

"Flash away, run away quickly!" Yuchi Jingde yelled, his whole heart jumped into his throat in an instant. The opponent's move was too surprising, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of tactic, but he immediately remembered that he had learned it during the training of senior generals on Snake Island. A kind of - to deal with the opponent's high-speed running shooting with large-area coverage shooting.

Yuchi Jingde led the cavalry of the Tiger Battalion to quickly adjust their direction, and rushed obliquely out of the coverage of the feather arrows in a thrilling manner, but more than a dozen people were still shot off their horses.

Yuchi Jingde was not reconciled, he rode his horse to flee for his life, and at the same time ordered to shoot back with a quick crossbow. This is one of the killing moves designed by the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army for the quick crossbow, but today this killing move is completely ineffective, because the opponent has already prepared a shield wall, and the crossbow arrows hit the shield wall, like dew hitting a rock, and there is no gain.

Yuchi Jingde was enraged immediately, he shot an arrow with his strong bow of four stones from a hundred paces away, and what he got was the general who was the leader among the enemies.

At this distance Captain Chi Jingde suddenly shot an arrow, this is an unexpected distance for the enemies. And divine archery is another unique skill of Yuchi Jingde, and at this distance he seldom misses.

Taking the enemy's general with one arrow is enough to completely confuse the enemy's army, and then take the opportunity to charge directly. Perhaps today's battle will end directly.

Long arrows are like shooting stars, shooting directly at the enemy general standing in the first row.

However, just as the feather arrow was about to hit the face of the enemy general, a bright knife flashed, and the enemy general swung the sword in his hand quickly but without panic. a knife.

With a sound of "Ding", the arrow that Yuchi Jingde must have hit was precisely slashed away by the opponent's general.

The pupils of Yuchi Jingde, Wang Junlin, and Luo Shixin who witnessed this scene suddenly shrank.
