Chapter 212: Ambush in Counter Ambush
【Another week has begun, votes are good, thank you!】
The biggest change brought about by Fengning County's series of offensives on the grassland is naturally the new city that stands on the grassland. Secondly, there are groups of players who appear on the grassland. In the past, due to the merit value, few players could be promoted to the position of Tunchang and Quchang. This series of battles on the grassland were the most real promotion for the majority of players.
Now on the grassland, you can often see 51,000 players' cavalry troops. Don't underestimate these small troops. Back then, Fang Zhiwen, the boss of Fengning County, also started his business with hundreds,1,000 people.
These player troops are now on the grasslands in the western and northern Fengning County. Most of them belong to the players' guild, and there are retail investors and small guilds. They wander on the grasslands, first of all, they are doing the task of clearing out the Hu tribe, and secondly, they also hope to find a small tribe of the Hu tribe and survive the addiction to looting.
This situation is like the scene when the Hu tribe broke through the pass and went south. However, the place has changed, and the robbers and the robbed people have also been lost.
Generally speaking, the troops of these players will not get too close to the regular Han army. In fact, on this grassland, the regular Han army is Fang Zhiwen's troops. Because when accepting the task of clearing, those young girls who are dispatching the task will tell you very seriously, don't get too close to the Han army, otherwise they may be mistaken for being destroyed by ill-gotten plots.
Of course, if you do have any information or want to ask the Han army for help, you can send someone there, but the troops cannot get close without permission.
Most of the players' troops that appear around the Murong tribe in the southern part of Rushui have been led to the battle mission in Fengning City. On the surface, this mission is very simple, just to clear and harass. However, all players who have taken the mission know that they will face nearly 200,000 Xianbei cavalry, or maybe 500,000. The risk of this mission is really not small.
But with such a great risk, why did these player troops still happily take on the mission and travel thousands of miles against the wind and snow? This is entirely because the regular troops of Fengning County are blocking the front, and the players' troops are actually just supporting roles.
The troops of Fengning County and these players who have taken on missions have always shared information, so players will not worry about being sold by the indigenous people. Moreover, the troops of Fengning County do not mean to use the players' troops as cannon fodder. Instead, during the battles in the past few days, they have arranged quite appropriate tasks for them each time.
The tasks players generally obtain are peripheral alerts, scouts, or feint attacks. There is no risk anyway, they run more powerfully and consume more food and grass. Compared to this, the merit and spoils obtained seem a bit insignificant, but everyone knows that this is just the prelude to the war. The war has not begun at all, and the Xianbei cavalry has not been mobilized yet.
During the day of January 22, players who are active in this area have received new instructions to unify the players to gather at several locations and face the north and northwest directions to set up a large number of cavalry traps.
If you look at it from the map, these ambush places actually use a small hill with slightly undulating terrain. Setting up a pocket-shaped trap in a position suitable for passing through the large army is obviously going to fight an annihilation battle. Players who receive the order are excited.
Players naturally know how to set up traps and can even create more trap forms. In fact, these traps simply prevent cavalry from using large-scale charges, but cavalry is blocked and cannot charge. It is basically a fatal trap, because there may be heavy crossbow infantry garrison behind the trap.
When a large number of players were excited to construct a trap, several flying eagles were flying leisurely on their heads. Although the flying eagles could share their vision, they could not tell whether they were the new cavalry of the players or Fang Zhiwen's elite cavalry.
The time of order issuance is very particular. After most of the players completed the trap, the sky gradually became darker and the players received the order to evacuate. Even without this order, the players would not be stupid enough to stay here for more. These players are not novice. They know what the cavalry war is going on on the grassland, and they also know how stupid it is to try to fish in the water when a large-scale night war is launched in the dark.
Soon, this large area, which was still very lively during the day, gradually became quieter. As the night became deeper, in addition to the occasional north wind, there were also a few small animals or a small group of chasing wild wolves passing by.
Suddenly, the dry shrubs on the ground swayed gently, and it didn't look like they were blown by the wind. Then the ground vibrated more and more. The small animals that were sporadically moving on the wasteland quickly disappeared. Then, a few black shadows appeared on the hillside in the east, stayed for a while, ran down quickly, and then passed through the open valley and ran to the north. It turned out to be some scout cavalry.
When Murong Zhi saw this quiet hill from afar, he had a bad premonition in his heart that the Han army still attacked the southern camp as usual tonight. In the past, the troops of the camp just chased them a little and chased them far away. Because they were ambushed by traps, the Xianbei people will not chase the Han army in the dark night.
But during the day, the patrol cavalry accidentally discovered a large group of Han troops building a trap here, so Murong Han discussed with the generals and decided to fight a counter-ambuster. In the dark, he quietly sent Murong Zhi to the position where the Han army was preparing to set up an ambush. When the Han army lured the pursuit of Xianbei cavalry, Murong Zhi attacked from behind and attacked the indignant Han army on both sides, to avenge Murong Sheng, and to teach Fengning County a severe lesson.
But when Murong Zhi arrived here, there were no one except seeing a few wild wolves from afar. Those traps did exist. Murong Zhi understood that the old patriarch and the generals might have been deceived by the Han people again. This was just a cover, a cover to lure the Xianbei people to pursue, and the real trap was probably somewhere else.
Murong Zhi was not wrong, the trap was indeed somewhere else. On the grassland, especially in the dark, it was difficult to distinguish the direction. Although the Han army did retreat to the preset position in the southwest at the beginning, it gradually deviated from the direction during the retreat, and the real battlefield chosen by Li Yuanzhi was on the west side thirty miles away from the preset position.
"Everyone. Although there is no leader this time, it is also a joint military operation. Please follow the orders strictly. If you violate the orders, you will be severely punished."
The generals sent by Zheluo to conduct unified dispatch were repeating the same rhetoric tirelessly. Although the power of Yi Ren is more scattered and easy to use, when it is concentrated, it seems very scattered and unorganized because there is no leader. The troops here are about seven or eight thousand, and are divided into more than a dozen organizations, and are typical mobs.
"I know General Yan, you have said it eight times."
"There's no way! Haha, I'm afraid that something will happen to you. You know, this time it's a big battle, another night battle, and your losses will be heavy if you accidentally do it. You will definitely blame my lord at that time."
"No, we will never do that kind of ungrateful and ungrateful thing."
"That's right, everyone will despise him in the future if anyone does that!"
"cut!"
"Okay, okay. Don't make a fuss, just say softly! Let me tell you again. After a while, the rockets will take off, and you will line up in a horizontal commando formation. What formation should you choose according to your preferences. Our goal is to rush from the hillside here to the opposite uphill in one breath. How to rush the process of rushing? Should you use bows and arrows to open the way? You can master these for yourself. After rushing to the hillside five miles away on the opposite side, then continue to rush to the formation depending on the situation."
"General Yan, you have repeated this eight times. Next I said, do you think it's right?"
"Haha, OK, then you say."
"After General Li's troops block the enemy's frontal impact and carry out the first long-range strike, we will rush over from the side of the Xianbei people. Then, General Li will carry out a second strike or directly rush forward. If General Li fires two rockets, we will rush forward again. If there are no rockets and only horns, we will move northward and slowly surround these Xianbei cavalry to clean up the periphery to prevent the fish that leaked the net. The entire battle will be completed within half an hour, and then quickly turn northward and reach the second location. Isn't it right?"
"Everything is right. Let me add that my general gives you tens of breaths to rush forward. Then, no matter whether you rush over or not, you will proceed to the next step. Everyone should think about the risks here. If you are not sure about rush over, don't take the task. It is okay to quit now."
"Haha, General Yan, don't worry, we people will not withdraw after taking the task. We Yiren may have many problems, but we are not afraid of death. Don't worry, we will never complain about death during the rushing process. At this time, no one will withdraw."
"Yes, it's so embarrassing to quit now!"
"Haha, how can you miss such a good opportunity? The battle! After fighting tonight's battle, I'm also a serious elite force!"
"Hehe, elite attack the troops!"
"Silent! It seems that there is movement!"
"Everyone get on the horse and enter the position, the battle is about to begin."
"yeah!"
"Quick, hurry!"
General Yan watched the player's reaction nervously. Yes, he did not pay attention to the approaching Han army and Xianbei pursuers, but was paying close attention to the player's reaction. If a player does something strange, General Yan's task is to alert Li Yuanzhi in time and always keep a move. This is Li Yuanzhi's attitude towards players.
The battle process is as planned. Although the player's combat power is a bit weak, he rushed from the side, and the opponent's cavalry has lost its speed. Even if the combat power is poor, such a simple task is not difficult!
Because the commander of the chasing Xianbei people was seriously injured in the first round of attacks, the players successfully carried out two rounds of rushing, and wiped out the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry who were chasing with a slight loss. Then Li Yuanzhi ordered his troops to clean the outside world, and the players quickly cleaned the battlefield, which was a reward for the players. (To be continued...)
