N-A-A Chapter 213
Chapter 213
"While sneering, Dian Wei looked at the wolf cavalrymen in front of him with contempt, holding a head casually in his right hand. His cold eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and he said bluntly and sarcastically:
'Hmph, you young boy, with just this little skill, you dare to touch my master in the slightest?'
At this moment, on the battlefield, the situation was changing. The black armored heavy cavalry under Liu Yao's command was like a black torrent, rolling towards the Qiang wolf cavalrymen.
Those wolf cavalrymen who once galloped freely on the grasslands, lost their The leader's command suddenly became leaderless, and each of them was on their own, like a group of lone wolves that lost their way, struggling and wailing under the iron hoof.
Liu Yao, who was also worthy of the name of the Jade-faced Butcher, the cavalry under his command seemed to be the tigers under his command. Every blow was accurate and fatal, tearing the Qiang people's wolf riders one by one. On the battlefield, the smoke of war was everywhere, but it could not cover up the cruel scene of the tiger devouring the wolf.
"High Priest, the situation is critical. Our vanguard has been scattered. What should we do next?" A chieftain looked anxious, with a trembling voice, and asked for help from the high priest beside him.
Upon hearing this, the high priest raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed an unfathomable calmness.
"Haha, don't worry, everyone. We Qiang warriors still have blood. Even if the vanguard is lost, we still have 70% of our strength that has not been exerted. The outcome of today's battle is still unknown. Let's see how we can turn the tide and let the Han people in the Central Plains also taste the bitter fruit of failure! "
"Yes, sir!"
As the high priest's calm and majestic command echoed over the vast battlefield, tens of thousands of cavalry seemed to be driven by an invisible force, stepping on the ground in unison, turning into an unstoppable black torrent, and suddenly swept towards the Bingzhou army's position. Under the sun, armor flashed and horses roared.
And just as they charged.
At this moment, all the infantry and archers in Bingzhou had begun to evacuate.
And everyone began to retreat in an orderly manner.
The high priest also noticed something wrong. He frowned slightly and thought secretly in his heart, but heard the chief beside him speak excitedly:
"High priest! Look, the Han army's infantry has been shaken. It is our God-given opportunity to pursue the victory and defeat them in one fell swoop! ”
Another general also echoed: "That's right! There are only more than 10,000 cavalrymen fighting alone on the front battlefield. This is a flaw given by God. How can we miss this opportunity? "
All the chiefs now see that there is something to gain, and they all want to ask for orders.
The high priest did not rush to respond when he heard this, but his deep eyes penetrated the flying dust, as if he wanted to see through all the mysteries behind the retreat of the Bingzhou army. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"The battlefield is unpredictable. The Han army's move seems to be a retreat, but in fact it may be hiding an ambush or luring the enemy deep into the territory. We need to act cautiously and not let our momentary courage ruin the overall situation. "
"I suggest that our army temporarily withdraw first..."
The high priest's words were still hanging in the air, and before they landed, a chief could no longer hold back and stepped forward. His figure looked particularly resolute under the reflection of the fire.
"Humph! You are always timid, who should I blame for the death of my brave brother, Crazy Bull? If you don't dare, I will lead the people to avenge my brother!" His voice was full of unquestionable determination.
"Hehe, the high priest is so cautious that he seems to lack ambition. Chief Crazy Lion, I am willing to follow your steps and go on this journey together!" A chief echoed on the side.
Chief Crazy Lion looked around with a sharp gaze, and his voice was steady and appealing.
"Every warrior present, who is willing to join me on this road of glory and danger? I, Crazy Lion, swear here that the spoils I get will be shared with you and celebrate the joy of victory together!"
"Count me in!" The first voice sounded, like a stone thrown into the lake, stirring up layers of ripples.
"And me! "Then, the second, the third... More and more voices gathered into an unstoppable torrent, and the chieftains of the Qiang tribe responded one after another.
After a while, most of the Qiang chieftains at the scene had quietly dispersed, leaving only a few people, all of whom were the most loyal servants of the high priest, waiting silently by the side.
High priest, are you really going to let the Mad Lion Legion advance alone, while we sit back and do nothing?" The words of a chief revealed an anxiety and confusion that was difficult to conceal.
To be honest, they also wanted to share some of the spoils, but because of the high priest's face, they did not dare to act rashly.
The high priest raised a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth, and slowly said:
"Oh, those warriors who only know how to charge into battle, how can they understand the profoundness of the art of war? The enemy's retreat was orderly, clearly hiding murderous intentions, intending to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory.Into. Blind pursuit is tantamount to falling into a trap, which will only fall into the enemy's calculation. You wait and see what happens, and you will know. "
After speaking, he ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on my order, order all Qiang soldiers to prepare to retreat immediately, but they must stay five miles away from the mad lion army, neither far away nor close. With such a layout, we can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Once the situation changes, we can respond quickly and turn danger into safety. "
"Yes!"
Soon, Liu Yao, who was commanding the black armor heavy cavalry on the battlefield, also received the news from the scouts.
"My lord! For some reason, the Qiang army suddenly split up when they were halfway through the march! The two groups of people were one in front and one behind, less than five miles apart. "
"Less than five miles apart? What's going on?"
"What tricks are these Qiang people playing? "
Dian Wei frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"If the enemy army really understood the ambush plan of our army's rear, they should have immediately called off the troops to preserve their strength. But now they insist on dividing their troops, one in front and one behind, isn't it a trap for themselves and putting their own soldiers in danger?"
Hearing this, Liu Yao raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, shook his head gently, and spoke with a bit of playfulness and insight.
"Haha, E Lai, what you said makes sense, but the Qiang people are a nomadic tribe, with many tribes and each governing itself. This division of troops is not a stupid move, but a compromise strategy due to internal disagreements. "
"Well, they are lucky! They can still save some troops. Order the whole army! Let go of all the enemies on the front line, kill all the prisoners, and don't let any of them stay! The remaining troops should immediately take turns to cover the retreat, so as not to be bitten by the Qiang cavalry. "
"Order Le Jin quickly! Tell him to quickly prepare the ambush in the narrow gap, and make sure to hit the target at the first opportunity. The canyon must be blocked at the beginning of the battle. By then, the reinforcements behind them can only watch their own people being baptized by the sea of fire!"
"Yes!"
