Chapter 096: Niu Fu’s Defeat

As for the cavalry among the county soldiers, they cannot be compared with these people. The so-called arrogant soldiers are connected together. If it were not for the brave generals who have followed the brave generals all year round, it would be difficult to have such momentum.

The camp of Wei Xuan and others was not far from that of the Xiliang soldiers, and many new recruits stood at the gate to watch the fun.

Wei Xuan looked at it for a while and felt why Zhang Jiao failed back then? So what if there were a million people? In the empty fields, such cavalry could sweep all the way with 30,000 or 50,000 cavalry. If Zhang was still called Congming to hide.

Entering Montenegro, you can't find it.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the cavalry of Xiliang headed towards Dongxi with two days of dry food. Niu Fu handed over a thousand civilians arranged by the prefect Yinde to Wei Xuantong.

Wei Xuan led about 3,500 new and old soldiers, plus 1,500 civilians, and slowly marched towards Bingze.

As Niu Fu and others expected, Hu Cai, who had originally had five or six thousand people stationed in Dongwu, heard that Dongwu, a cavalryman in Xiliang, was so scared that he immediately gave up Dongwu and fled to the Yize, leaving only for Niu Fu and others.

A person was an empty city. Niu Fu and others successfully recovered a county town in Hedong without any effort.

When Wei Xuan set up camp that night, he received a messenger sent by Niu Fu, informing them that they would rest in Dongwu for one night and would send troops to the ground tomorrow morning, so that Wei Xuan would march according to the plan to ensure the supply of food and grass.

The infantry from Jiangyi to Bingze is about three days away, and the speed of the baggage team is slower. Wei Xuan made plans for four days and continued to send scouts to Xiangfen and Xiangling to investigate the movements of the bandits.

What Wei Xuan was worried about was that when facing the fierce Western Liang cavalry, the bandits would choose to escape into Wangwu Mountain, or go north to rob Yangxian, Huoshan and other places.

Especially for the latter option, the situation you have worked hard to maintain is likely to be destroyed, and even the bandits may attack Xiangling in retaliation before heading north.

As a result, neither of the two worries appeared. The next night, Wei Xuan had just arranged the patrol personnel, and a scout from Niu Fu's army came to report that Niu Fu and others encountered thieves about twenty miles from Binze County.

The soldiers ambushed and defeated!

When Wei Xuan heard the news, the first thing he thought of was that Yang Feng must have brought his troops to Bingze. As expected, after asking in detail, the messenger realized that they were ambushed on all sides when they marched to a valley outside Bingze City that afternoon.

.There are at least 10,000 bandit soldiers in each direction!

Niu Fu and others broke through to the east with their own bravery and the training of the Xiliang cavalry. After about an hour of bloody battle, they finally returned to the east at the cost of losing about two thousand people. They were preparing to wait for General Dong's.

After the army arrived, they entered the mountains to encircle and suppress them.

Wei Xuan knew about the mountainous land of Wangwu Mountain to the east, and he also told Niu Fu and others that he would be paralyzed after seeing many mountains. However, if he saw many mountains, he would be numb, but it would be too inappropriate to be ambushed by bandits.

You should know that a cavalry team of 5,000 people will have at least two or three hundred people to serve as scouts. Considering the maneuverability of the cavalry, the distance between scouts is generally at least twenty miles away. In other words, when Niu Fu and others are ambushed, the scouts are scolded.

The forward should have arrived at the city of Bingze.

This is obviously because everyone was careless under Niu Fu's leadership. This is the case with the general, Sima and the military marquis. Even the scouts did not take these bandit soldiers seriously. The arrogant soldiers would be defeated. The more ancient truth of military tactics is

.

The good news is that Niu Fu and others led them were warriors who had been through the battlefield. Even if they were surrounded on all sides, they would kill at least seven or eight thousand bandit soldiers during the breakout! They could also be considered to be effective in killing bandit soldiers.

After receiving the letter sent by Niu Fu, Wei Xuan sent someone to Dong'an overnight to ask about Niu Fu's next plan. He did not agree with Niu Fu's waiting in Dong'an City, so he suggested that he be with him.

, advance slowly.

Niu Fu's reply arrived at Weixuan's camp at noon the next day. Niu Fu refused Weixuan's request and asked Weixuan to send some of the baggage to Dong'an. He himself would have better return to Jiangyi because if Wei

Xuan was surrounded by bandits in the wild, so it was difficult for them to send reinforcements as soon as possible.

Wei Xuan had no choice but to take his team to retreat to Jiangyi. At night, there were people lurking in the White Tiger Hall in Dongxi to send messages. Niu Fu's army entered the city in the past two days, and the next day, not only was the number much smaller,

And almost everyone is injured!

The four words "Everyone is injured" scared Wei Xuan. He could imagine the tragic scene of five thousand cavalrymen surrounded by all sides in the valley and struggling to break through the siege.

Perhaps that battle was due to the repeated boost of morale by Mr. Guo, Yang Feng and others, who had the courage to surround Niu Fu.

Everyone was injured. I think this is also the reason why Niu Fu insisted on waiting for Dong Zhuo's army to enter the mountain after he arrived, because his team is basically very capable of combat.

Wei Xuan immediately asked Pegasus to inform the Pegasus of Xue Li in Xiangling and Xu Huang in Xiangfen to prepare for them. Guo Tai and others would definitely have a high morale after defeating Niu Fu. If they learned that Niu Fu could not hide, they would be very good.

They may go north to attack Xiangling and Xiangfen again.

Although the numbers are not very accurate, after Niu Fu's breakthrough battle, there are more than 30,000 bandit soldiers! This is twice as many as when he attacked Anyi.

According to Wei Xuan's estimate, it is unlikely that the bandits will attack Anyi and Dongguan again in the short term, because although Niu Fu's losses are great, the cavalry's combat power is terrifying. If it is in the plains, 30,000 people may not be blocked.

It can withstand the charge of the three thousand Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

Thinking of his happiness in vain, everything depends on himself, Wei Xuan smiled bitterly. He did not retreat to Jiangyi as Niu Fu's request, but went to Xiangfen. Now, even if he is fighting for Xiangling, he will still want to win Xiang.

Fen stays in his own hands.

He led his troops in Xiangfen, Niu Fu was in Dongwu, and Wei Xuan bet Guo Tai and others did not dare to attack Jiangyi or Anyi in the west.

Considering his own strength, Jiangyi currently relies on 3,000 reinforcements from 3,000 Qingzhuang and Wenxi, and the total defensive power has reached 3,055.

Wei Xuan's captives who were surrendered during this period have brought more than 3,000 new recruits from Anyi City, and together there are nearly 7,000. Except for Xue Li and one thousand of them in Xiangling City, the remaining six thousand are added.

All 1,500 civil servants returned to Xiangfen.

If he could persuade Niu Fu to move, he would definitely let him take his cavalry to station in Xiangfen, because the cavalry would arrive in any surrounding county town in one day, but Wei Xuan could not be the master of Niu Fu and had no friendship before.

Persuasion was also futile. What he was thinking now was whether to give up Xiangling and protect Xiangfen!

Guo Tai, Yang Feng and others gave Wei Xuan an answer again, because Yang Feng and Guo Tai and others had another disagreement on whether to attack Xiangfen or Xiangling.

Without Niu Fu's existence and Dong Zhuo's army's upcoming pressure, the bandits were also snatching the time. Yang Feng used facts to prove that his decision was true. If Guo Tai and others followed the previous plan, they would steadily.

Before Niu Fu and others arrived, the Za and Baibo army occupied at least six county towns, or even more. Even if they retreated to the Yize or Yi family, they would have at least 20,000 more troops and sufficient money and food. Tens of thousands of people would be stationed.

Zhu Yi's county town with abundant food and supplies, and Dong Zhuo was full of cavalry, so it was not necessarily time to do anything to them.

But if there is no if, Mrs. Guo regrets it, but he refuses to admit defeat because he is a general.

Speaking of money and grain, Guo Tai and others insisted on regaining Xiangfen because he believed that Wei Xuan must have hoarded the money and grain they had looted in Xiangfen City during this period. Taking advantage of Niu Fuxin's defeat, Dong Zhuowei came to regain the grain and strategic location.

The adventure in Xiangfen is worth it.

Yang Feng's idea was that Xiangfen was too close to Dongye and Anyi. Once the anxiety was formed, Guo Tai had already experienced the power of the cavalry attacking the camp outside the city. Wei Xuan was only one hundred,56 cavalrymen, and now Niu Fu's hands are

There are more than 3,000 troops. I would like to estimate that Wei Xuan's troops set out from Anyi, 5,000, and 2,000 soldiers and defenders in Xiangling and Xiangfen City each. According to half of the prisoners, it is 2,000, and Li Lebu's five,000 people.

Surrounded, according to the two thousand prisoners, Wei Xuan now has at least eight or nine thousand people!

Yang Feng didn't think that those bandits would have any loyalty and strength after being captured. Wei Xuan took out some of the money and food, and he would not fight to defend the city. Moreover, Wenxi only had a day's march to Xiangfen.

, it doesn't matter if someone else is the county magistrate, but that is Wei Xuan's elder brother Wei Ji! The best rent in the city is the Pei family and the Wei family have been in marriage for generations. Wenxi, the people in the city are at least 50,000, and you want to be in a short time.

Recruiting three or four thousand new recruits is no more difficult than Anyi!

Therefore, Yang Feng's conclusion was that he would take 30,000 people to attack Chen Chi, who had nearly 10,000 defenders, and faced attacks from 3,000 cavalry at any time. That would be unwise and basically had no chance of winning.

The correct method should be to defend the lun Ze to delay Niu Fu's cavalry, and then concentrate on sweeping the north of the county. Xiangling is by the way. To the north of Xiangling are Yang County, Huoshan, and Daning counties, and you can even try Pingyang.

, I just can't waste time under Xiangfen City. Because Donghu Lake always walks hundreds of miles a day, maybe it will arrive by day.

Yang Feng, Guo Tai and others were not the same person. Seeing that Guo Tai was going to seek death under Xiangfen City, he proposed to divide the troops into two groups again. His own 15,000 people lost 2,000 in the defense of Fuze.

Many people left behind more than 2,000 people to guard Yi's family, and were preparing to take the remaining 10,000 people to plunder Xiangling again, and then go north to Yang County.

Guo Tai and others could not keep Yang Feng, nor could they give up their only base, the land of Fucheng, leaving behind 4,000 people and more than 1,000 small families, and more than 18,000 people came straight to Xiangfen.

What Guo Tai and others thought was that Xiangfen was not as tall as Anyi, with deep walls and deep pools, and there was not even a moat, so it should be much simpler to attack than Anyi.

But when they came outside Xiangfen City, they were stunned. The trees that were not many had been cut down, and even a decent stone was not left for them.

Xiangfen is close to the Fen River, which is a lower plain, and the terrain is also very beneficial to the cavalry. Guo Tai has also seen the scene where Niu Fu and others were surrounded and rushed left and right to kill the entire Baibo army's elite troops.
