Turbulent Times Chapter 1485: Crossroad
Relying on Xiaohe Town, the Violent Bear Camp is stuck at the exit of the mountain road, and the transfer is convenient, fast, and concealed. It may send troops to attack Fengyang City at any time.
In addition to the 60,000 troops originally stationed here in Fengyang City, the Wagang Army is the elite 10,000 inner battalion who just arrived here. There are also more than 50 miles away. It is naturally difficult to hide from the scouts of the Far East Army for the transfer of troops at such a long distance.
Although Cheng Yaojin has decided to send his horses out to fight the Far East Army, Cheng Yaojin knows in his heart that the Far East Army should look forward to fighting outside the city more than storming the city. They can't afford it anymore, they won't be able to do it if they don't fight field battles.
When Cheng Yaojin thought this way, he didn't know that Li Jing on the opposite side had personal reasons and didn't want to procrastinate. He also wanted to fight the Wagang Army as soon as possible, and was even much more decisive and stronger than him.
So, at this time, a soldier came in to report: "Deputy Chief, there are alarms from the two beacon towers at the mountain pass..."
"What..." Cheng Yaojin, Fang Yanzao and others suddenly stood up.
The two beacons mentioned by the soldiers were built three years ago when Wagangzhai had not yet expanded from its old nest. They had long-term confrontations with imperial officers and soldiers at this mountain pass, so they were built. The hinterland has been abandoned. A few days ago, because the Far East Army came to attack, they each relocated a hundred people to monitor the mountain pass of Xiaohe Town.
Now the two beacons are burning at the same time as a warning, indicating that a large number of soldiers and horses of the Far East Army are sending troops from the mountain pass of Xiaohe Town...
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Yanzao led the generals of Wagang out of the meeting hall in a hurry, walked to the east of the city, climbed up the east tower, looked around, except for the two puffs of wolf smoke going straight into the sky, Other objects are blocked by rolling mountains to the east, and nothing can be seen.
At this time, a scout horse galloped into the city from the east, and soon the scout climbed up the tower to report: "Deputy Chief, the Far Eastern Army's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have left the mountain pass and headed straight for the two beacon towers. It should have started attacking..."
Before the scout finished speaking, everyone saw the two puffs of wolf smoke gradually dissipating, and their faces changed drastically.
"Damn it, the two beacons are lost." Cheng Yaojin couldn't help cursing.
"Those two beacons are easy to defend but hard to attack,
Although there are only 100 soldiers in the garrison, it is not difficult to capture in one day. How can the Far East Army move so fast. "Fang Yanzao had an unbelievable expression on his face, and was faintly afraid.
At this moment, another cavalry galloped from a distance, came to the city, and shouted loudly before entering the city: "The two beacons have been lost, and the Far Eastern Army has killed 10,000 people to Huangshizhai." /
"I went to Huangshizhai. Damn it, the Far East Army has such an ingenious plan." Cheng Yaojin looked extremely serious.
Huangshizhai is the nearest of several foreign camps near Fengyang City. It is located about 50 miles southeast of Fengyang City. Carry out a blockade, and even with the geographical location of Huangshizhai, troops can be sent around to the back of Fengyang City at any time, breaking the connection between Fengyang City and the main Wagang village.
Everyone on the tower looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally realized the power of the Far Eastern Army.
When Cheng Yaojin came the day before yesterday, he had already strengthened the defense of Huangshizhai. In addition to the 5,000 elite soldiers stationed at Huangshizhai, he sent another 3,000 people there the day before yesterday. Compared with the elite of the inner battalion, they are also much stronger than the ordinary knockoff troops of the outer battalion.
Furthermore, Fengyang City is not far from Huangshizhai, and can send large troops to support it at any time, but a large number of soldiers from the Far Eastern Army rushed to Huangshizhai, and at the speed of pulling out the two beacon towers, Cheng Yaojin, who was still quite confident , Fang Yanzao and others have lost confidence in whether they can hold Huangshi Village.
Cheng Yaojin took a look at Fang Yanzao, and ordered to a burly general who looked like an iron tower beside him: "Wang Xuan, you lead the ten thousand people under your command to leave the city immediately to support Huangshizhai, and play by ear after you go there." .”
Wang Xuan sits firmly at the thirteenth place in Wagangzhai, but his force ranks among the top ten in Wagangzhai. veteran.
Wang Xuan glanced at Fang Yanzao, seeing that the latter did not say a word, he clasped his fists to accept the order, went down the tower, and soon 10,000 people rushed out of Fengyang City.
Fang Yanzao ordered people to quickly report the situation here to Li Mi in Wagang Village.
Wang Xuan led 10,000 people to leave Fengyang City and gallop towards Huangshizhai fifty miles away, or to be more precise, to Huangshipo in front of Huangshizhai.
Huangshipo is a hillside in front of Huangshizhai, geographical location
Setting is very important, because if you want to attack Huangshizhai, you must first attack Huangshipo, and taking Huangshipo will cut off the connection between Fengyang City and Huangshizhai.
So the Wagang Army must not give up Huangshipo easily. Wang Xuan led his troops to the northern foot of Huangshipo, just in time for Li Xuanba to lead the 10,000 storm bear battalion.
Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Huangshizhai itself has 3,000 troops in Huangshipo, plus the 10,000 people brought by Wang Xuan, the Wagang Army has 13,000 people, which is superior in terms of strength.
In addition, the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting. Although Wang Xuan knew that the combat power was probably not the opponent of the Far Eastern Army, he was not very afraid. He immediately began to deploy and immediately started a battle with the Far Eastern Army.
The two groups of men and horses raised a cloud of dust. Seen from a long distance, they looked like two giant dragons, directly colliding with each other at the southwestern foot of Huangshipo.
The Far Eastern Army's Violent Bear Battalion was originally composed of 40,000 Turkic wolf cavalry, and later intensively trained in the Snake Island training camp.
Although Wang Xuan's 10,000 people came from bandits, all of them were thieves who were still alive after participating in countless killing battles. Those who have killed an unknown number of people are the real desperadoes.
In addition, they have been recharging their energy these days, and they are also dissatisfied with the Far East Army, so their fighting spirit is boiling and their murderous aura is raging.
Especially these days since the Wagang Army adopted a shrinking defensive strategy from the Eastern Front, they spent most of their time defending in the walled city. Generals such as Wang Xuan couldn't wait to fight the Far Eastern Army.
Wang Xuanben was a well-known brave general in Wagang, and he was also one of the first batch of murderers who went to Wagang village. He was good at fighting tough and fierce battles. It was the most difficult battle in my life, but I didn't even have the intention to evade or avoid the sharp edge. Pointing to the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, I asked my troops: "When we meet in a narrow road, the brave wins. What happened to the Far Eastern Army? Kill his mother. "
"Kill his mother!" The crowd behind them yelled sharply, drawing their knives, holding bows, end shields and spears, showing no fear.
On the opposite side, Li Xuanba led the 10,000 Violent Bear Battalion, but they were silent. Because they were attacking uphill, the horses couldn't charge up, so the 10,000 people dismounted and fought on foot, forming a neat infantry battle formation to this side Pushed over.
