Dajigang is the only way to Heqiao City, the main city of Baili Family. It's called Gang, but it's actually a valley. It's at the junction of two mountains. The mountains are about to reach each other, thus forming such a narrow place.
It is said to be a valley, but it is much higher than the grasslands on both sides. The plains on both sides of the mountain climb up to this point, forming such a high hill. Due to the barrier of the mountain, people from outside who want to go to Heqiao City must pass through the high hills here.
At this time, Wu Gen was sitting on a high hill, gnawing on a piece of tough cake. This is the standard equipment of the Fearless Army, as well as some dried meat, which is the ration supply during the march.
Behind him, five hundred cavalrymen were sitting on the ground, silently eating their rations. There was no smoke, no noise, just the sound of chewing food and the gentle scratching of the ground. From a distance, it looks like a forest, firmly blocking the road to Heqiao City.
Five days ago, Wu Gen had discussed with Mo Zhijia and An Sijia to jointly launch an attack on Bailijia. In terms of task allocation, the plan was to capture the two small towns of Bailijia first, and then make a feint towards Heqiao City, while waiting for opportunities to annihilate Bailijia's mobile troops.
Wu Gen gave up the mission of attacking Bailijia's two small towns, and instead chose to intercept Bailijia's reinforcements in the field. It is still clear how powerful our fearless army is. It can fight on the move, but if it is to attack a fortified city, it lacks both the weapons and experience to attack the city, so it cannot be defeated.
It's not impossible to forcefully fight, but I'm afraid I have to leave this little bit of my family's wealth to the city. Wu Gen was reluctant and could not fight like this. After all, his foundation was shallow and it would be difficult to raise these people. Once they were lost, there would be no place to supplement them.
Yang Zheng
Holding a small cylinder in his hand, he hurriedly walked to Wu Gen's side and said, "Captain, the scouts ahead have sent news that the Baili family's cavalry is still twenty miles away."
Wu Gen wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, took a sip of cold water, looked back at Zhuo Ke, "Wave the flag."
Zhuo Keteng jumped up, raised a big flag and waved it vigorously. The three characters "Fearless Army" on it were written by Wu Gen.
Seeing the signal, the five hundred cavalrymen put away their food bags and got on their horses, checking their bridles and weapons. This was the first time for most of the people here to experience such a battle. Nervousness, fear, excitement, and various complex emotions quickly spread among the cavalry.
Yang Zheng's fat body was sitting on the horse, his butt constantly moving, trying to find the most comfortable position. Looking at the cavalry behind him, Yang Zheng sighed in a low voice, "After this battle, I don't know how many people will die."
Wu Gen pursed his lips tightly and glanced behind him, as if he wanted to remember the faces of these people. War is always the cruelest thing. After today, many of these lively people will not be able to see the rising sun the next day.
"There is no way around it. Soldiers are built for war. If you want to fight, you have to die. How can a soldier who has not experienced blood and fire become a sharp soldier? A warrior who has fought a hundred battles has also fought a hundred battles. Only then can we be called a victorious teacher." Wu Gen looked into the distance, seeming to be explaining to Yang Zheng, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Xue Xin, Ha Bao." Wu Gen suddenly shouted loudly.
"My subordinates are here." Xue Xin and Ha Bao hurried forward. It was the first time to encounter such a big battle, and even the two of them were a little nervous at this time.
Wu Gen glanced at the two
The man glanced at me, a little dissatisfied, "You two are both leaders of the army, how can you expose your feelings to your subordinates?"
The two of them lowered their heads in shame, "This subordinate has lost his composure."
"The tasks assigned to you two are clear." Wu Gen turned his head away to prevent the two men from being too embarrassed.
Xue Xin took the lead and said, "It is clear that the whole army is divided into three teams. I am on the left wing and Ha Bao is on the right wing. The two of us led people to ambush on both sides of Dajigang in advance. And the leader of the village... .”
Gritting his teeth, Xue Xin continued to answer: "The leader of the village personally led eight Ling Yun cavalry and twenty guards to guard the front and block the enemy's advance.
As long as the momentum of the Baili family's cavalry weakens, the two of us will attack from the left and right, repeatedly outflanking and cutting apart the other's cavalry, just like cutting flesh, chipping away at the opponent and devouring it bit by bit. Wait until the opponent loses his will to fight, then join forces to surround him. "
Wu Gen nodded, pointed ahead with his riding crop, "This terrain
Like a trumpet, it is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. When two teams of troops cut into the opponent's formation, they should not cut too deep to avoid getting entangled with the opponent and falling into a deadly battle.
Use bows and arrows more often when attacking, and save up a wave of shots before each charge. Don't be stingy with arrows, human life is always the most important. In addition, even if the opponent attacks us, we are not allowed to divide our troops to come to our aid, and we must try our best to weaken the opponent's troops as quickly as possible. But I understood everything. "
"Understood." Xue Xin and Ha Bao quickly replied in unison. Ha Bao asked hesitantly: "Captain, you have the weakest troops here and the smallest number of people. How about Commander Xue and I divide some more and come here?" .”
"No need." Wu Gen waved his hand, but refused on the spot, "We are few people, so we will divide some people out.
None of them are strong.
Remember, the main force in this battle is you two. You must reduce the opponent's effective strength as soon as possible. After waiting for the fight to start, the battlefield will be chaotic, and my military orders here may not be issued in time, so you two need to assess the situation and adapt to the situation. Remember, kill fewer people and kill more. "
"The army of Chu is at peace." Wu Gen called again.
Chu Xi also wore a suit of armor today, holding his signature iron ruler in his hand, and rode behind Wu Gen, "My subordinate is here."
Wu Gen sat on the horse without looking back, "You and I are here, and you are responsible for the military merits of this battle. If anyone dares to be afraid and refuse to move forward, follow military laws."
"This is the responsibility of my subordinates. Please rest assured, Chief of the Village." Chu Xin still looked unfazed and said, "The Chief of the Village is the commander-in-chief of the army. He is responsible for blocking the enemy with such a small number of troops. Isn’t it a bit wanton?”
Wu Gen glanced at the other party coldly, "Chu Junzheng, you are responsible for the military law. There is no need to say more about the military formation."
Chu Xi was startled for a moment, and then realized that Wu Gen today was very different from the past, but he soon returned to normal, with a serious look on his face, "This subordinate has overstepped his bounds."
After looking into the distance, Wu Gen waved his hand, "Xue Xin, Ha Bao, you two go."
After giving the order, Xue Xin and Ha Bao each led a team of troops, staying far away from Wu Gen's front and running towards the left and right sides. Soon the two teams of troops hid in the pre-selected positions and lurked quietly.
Wu Gen, with more than 20 people, did not dismount, waiting for the Baili family's troops to arrive.
After a while of burning the incense, the stones on the ground began to tremble slightly, and a black line gradually appeared on the distant horizon.
Wu
Gen Yin stood at a high place and could clearly see that these cavalrymen were flying the banner of the Baili family. There were six to seven hundred people in total. This should be the most elite mobile force of the Baili family. If they block this wave of people, the Mozhi family and the Ansi family will be able to quickly attack the city and end the war as soon as possible to avoid it turning into a melee among the five families.
In today's situation, all parties are acting cautiously, as if dancing on eggs, for fear of collapsing the entire situation.
The people of the Baili family also looked at the more than 20 people standing at the mouth of the valley. The leader of the team was a middle-aged man. Although he was confused, he did not dare to neglect. With a wave of his hand, a soldier accelerated forward. , running towards Wu Gen and others.
An urgent message came from home. The Mo Zhi family and the An Si family were leading troops to attack their own city. They urgently needed to return troops to support Heqiao City and then to support other cities. The war was urgent and could not be delayed.
Moreover, so many cavalrymen were galloping all the way and could not stop for a short time. So the leader thought for a while, but still did not order to slow down, but went straight to Daji Hill.
There are more than twenty people, even if there is any change, they can trample the opponent to death.
Wu Gen looked down at the Baili family's cavalry, his expression unchanged. According to the information, the leader of the Baili family this time is named Bailiye, and he is the younger brother of the family head.
On weekdays, he is responsible for attacking and patrolling the territory. Although his force is not high, he has rich battle experience.
Seeing a horseman escape from the military formation and speeding towards him, Wu Gen pursed his lips and said, "Zhang Wuyang, shoot him."
Behind him, Zhang Wuyang held a bow in his hand. He was now one of the Eight Riders of Lingyun.
The blood talisman on the bow lit up, Zhang Wuyang looked a little excited, and the red arrow slowly appeared. one
With a roar, the long arrow flew towards the cavalryman running towards the opposite side.
The arrow drew a round arc and hit the man's chest hard, nailing him and his horse to the ground.
"Not bad." Wu Gen nodded. To be honest, stopping six to seven hundred people with just these twenty people would be a sure way to die.
My purpose here is to slow down the opponent's cavalry and create opportunities for Xue Xin and Ha Bao to cross. Before that, it was necessary to create as many obstacles as possible at the entrance of the valley, including the dead bodies of men and horses.
Bailiye looked at the young man standing alone on a horse on the high slope, and felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart. Years of combat experience told him that if he dared to intercept himself with such a small number of people, he must be hiding some back-up plan.
As he ran, he looked to both sides, and sure enough he found some clues in the distance. There were birds hovering over the woods and trees on both sides, but they didn't dare to land.
It turned out that he was thinking of an ambush. Bailiye estimated the distance and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Although your own upward attack may take longer.
But for the sake of concealment, the ambush positions on both sides were too far away. By the time he had defeated these twenty or so people, the ambushers might not have arrived yet.
Even if the young man had ambushed someone behind the slope, he would no longer be afraid when he rushed up the slope. How many people could be hidden in such a narrow valley terrain.
By then, he had conveniently occupied the high ground and took advantage of the terrain to counterattack. The so-called ambush turned into a target. It seems that the young man in front of you still lacks some experience. Today I will teach you how to lead troops in war.
With his mind determined, Bailiye waved his big hand, pinched his mount hard, and took the lead to accelerate forward. The guard beside me blew the whistle
The horn was sounded, and all the cavalry suddenly accelerated.
Seeing the high slope getting closer and closer, he could even see the other party's face very clearly. Looking at the motionless young man, Bailiye suddenly hesitated. With such a terrain, there are only less than fifty people who can face their opponents directly.
Some wanted to adjust their formation, but looking back, they saw that due to the terrain constraints of this canyon, their cavalry naturally lengthened their formation. At this time, I can no longer think of anything else and can only move forward with all my heart.
Suddenly, Bailiye felt his body sinking. A trap suddenly appeared on the otherwise normal ground, with sharp wooden stakes inserted at the bottom of the ditch.
Damn it, Bailiye screamed in his heart, trying to make the cavalry behind him stop. But with the slender formation and the fierce charge of the genius, how could they stop.
Soon, the cavalry at the front fell to the ground one after another, or their horses' legs were tripped, or they died from the trap.
The cavalry behind were still pushing forward continuously. Even if they heard the screams in front and noticed something abnormal, they could no longer stop at this time. They were pushed forward in waves by the people behind.
