Chapter 177: The city blocking the road
After half a day of renovation, at night, the troops led by the rest of their lives were full of energy and morale. All the staff boarded the horse and shuttled through the steep mountains of Songshan Mountain in the enclave.
The bright moon is in the sky, and silver light is everywhere. Among the steep mountains of Songshan Mountain, everything seems to be hidden in the clouds and mist, and the shadows are magnificent, and they are not real.
The neat cavalry formation, black helmets and black armor, black maned war horses, armor and horses, and dried blood stains, reflected under the silver moonlight, showing the bleakness and solemnity.
Yu Sheng was still walking in front, and Huang Yuchen rode his horse to follow him.
The paths in the mountains are very difficult to walk, and sometimes this path is only enough for a war horse to pass through, and thousands of troops are moving on such a road at a slow speed.
But the rest of his life was helpless. If you walk on the main road, you will encounter enemy ambush. Even if you walk on this small road, you will be careful all the way, and whenever there is any disturbance, all the members will be suspended immediately.
In order to maintain the preparation and combat effectiveness of all the staff, I have taken great pains to the rest of my life.
It took two days to walk the main road from Heishi Bridge to Wufeng City. Last night, Yu Sheng led his team to gallop on the main road and encountered the first batch of enemy troops blocking the road. At this point, he walked 30% of the road.
If the remaining road is not blocked by the enemy, it will be 400 miles away, and it will be reached in a day and night.
But this plan is obviously not available.
One is because there must be ambushes halfway, and the other is because long-distance raids are extremely costly for both war horses and soldiers. There must be elite enemy troops in front of Wufeng City. If you drag a tired army forward to attack, it is like hitting a stone with an egg.
And taking this mountain stream path, the date of arrival at Wufeng City will naturally become much longer. I guessed that if the whole city walks on the mountain road, it will take about four to five days to enter the Wufeng City area. If it really arrived at that time, everything would be too late.
Yu Sheng rode his horse in front, passing a ridge, and a fork appeared in front of him.
There is a main road on the side, which is obviously an official road, which can lead directly to Wufeng City.
The other is still a mountain road, leading to the vast mountains ahead. It is unknown where this mountain road leads to.
At this moment, Yu Sheng rode his horse in front of the fork, and hesitated in his heart.
By walking the road, you can reach Wufeng City in a flat manner, but you will definitely encounter obstacles and will inevitably have several battles. Even if you use the good mobility of the Eastern Palace cavalry to bypass the enemy's ambush, after arriving at Wufeng City, the enemy ambushing behind will become reinforcements. At that time, Ye Guan only has two thousand troops and is too short to defend Wufeng City, so it is impossible to go out to help. He has brought 4,000 troops to fight against the entire enclave elite for the rest of his life and knew that he would not have such great ability.
By walking the small path, you can avoid the enemy's ambush halfway. After arriving in Wufeng City, you don't have to worry about reinforcements appearing in the rear. Even if they get news about something happening in Wufeng City, they can set off, and it will take a day to arrive. When the reinforcements arrive in Wufeng City, the battle may be over. But there is a problem here. Time cannot be controlled, and some unexpected things may occur in the middle. In this way, it will definitely delay the time to reach Wufeng City. If it is really too late, it will definitely delay major events.
Yu Sheng frowned slightly. At this moment, the entire knight army had left the path, arranged neatly behind Yu Sheng, waiting for him to issue an order.
Huang Yuchen rode his horse to Yu Sheng. He understood Yu Sheng's worries in his heart, and Huang Yuchen also had an estimate in his heart about his current behavior.
Between walking on the main road and walking on the small road, Huang Yuchen is more inclined to walk on the main road, using the mobility of the iron cavalry to make the enemy's arrangements chaotic and create as much time and space as possible for Wufeng City. If it can be delayed for a few days, all problems will be solved as soon as the army of the East Prefecture arrives.
General, walk the road. Huang Yuchen rode his horse to Yu Sheng, turned to look at Yu Sheng, and whispered: We use the mobility of the cavalry to disrupt the enemy's formation and do not have to rush forward.
Yu Sheng heard this and did not say anything or express it. Of course, he had considered the plan Huang Yuchen said, but this plan had its pros and cons. It was true that the cavalry had strong mobility, but no matter how good the war horses were, it was impossible to rush endlessly. Sooner or later, we had to rest. The number of enemy troops was far better than ours. When we were resting, we would be set up by the enemy, and then we would die without death.
Or divide the troops into two groups, alternating light and darkness, which can also disrupt the arrangement of the enemy. Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't say anything, Huang Yuchen continued to whisper: General, if you continue to walk the mountain stream, let alone speeding up to Wufeng City, it will be difficult for us to come out of the mountain stream. In fact, there is only one road in front of us.
Yu Sheng thought for a moment, nodded slightly, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said softly: You are right. Then he turned around and ordered: All soldiers, rush along the road at full speed and head straight to Wufeng City. If they encounter an ambush from the enemy, they will bypass them and will not be allowed to fight!
The messenger behind him immediately passed on Yu Sheng's orders. After a moment, all the soldiers received Yu Sheng's orders, and they all understood Yu Sheng's choices.
Since the enclaves are vast and sparsely populated, and there are far more enemy soldiers than themselves, there is only one way to achieve their goal, guerrilla.
With a command, three thousand and seven hundred cavalrymen moved with the momentum and left along the enclave's official road.
Under the bright moonlight, the entire team turned into a galloping dragon, galloping on the flat official road, with dust flying.
What Huang Yuchen and Yu Sheng said was only added with a reference. After the last incident in Dongxuan City, Huang Yuchen had a deep understanding of Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng, this person has great ability, calm mind, and extremely high combat power. He is a rare good general. But he has problems. Yu Sheng's problem is that he is easy to hesitate when encountering things. He will count all the things he will encounter, and then make a decision after calculating gains and losses. This is not a bad habit. Ye Guan is probably the same way in doing things. However, compared with Ye Guan, Yu Sheng, the speed of thinking about problems is obviously much slower, which can be seen in the previous incident of Yu Sheng dealing with Dongxuancheng.
Huang Yuchen's two words undoubtedly played a role in fueling the fire, making Yu Sheng make a decision naturally.
In fact, Yu Sheng's mind was also inclined to move forward on the road, using guerrilla tactics to destroy the enemy's voice and disrupt their arrangements. But he thought too much about it and could not make a decision easily. At this time, Huang Yuchen's few words made him make up his mind.
There was nothing to say along the way, and the cavalry of the East Mansion followed the enclave Guan Road and galloped eastward for two hours. When they reached the middle of the night, no ambush was found nearby, which surprised Yu Sheng.
According to common sense, whether it leads to other cities or to the main city on the road, when the enemy attacks, even if there are no ambushes, you can see outpost scouts, etc., it is very important to spread news on the battlefield.
This enclave has many ridges of Songshan Mountain, and guerrilla tactics are not so easy to develop. Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuchen sitting down and whispered: If we attack the city head-on and advance step by step, we will only rely on our 4,000 troops, and we will be destroyed before we pass a few small cities.
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he smiled softly and said: The general has already had a plan in his heart. What is the meaning of telling me about these things?
Haha. Yu Sheng glanced at Huang Yuchen and said: You are smart and can't hide it from you. After saying that, he sat up straight, turned his head and said to Huang Yuchen's ear, and said softly: Don't you know how to use formations? Will you be able to create fire formations?
The fire-making formation? Huang Yuchen was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Yu Sheng meant. After thinking carefully, he replied: I have made some progress in my formation practice recently. It should not be a problem to arrange the fire formation, but it takes time to arrange this formation. How do the general plan to use it?
