"Drive~"
"Click da da~~ click da da~~"
On the desert Gobi beach, a group of five thousand black armored feathered cavalry brought up a tidal storm and swept towards a high loess city a hundred miles away.
"The capital of Yan Kingdom is nearby, but there are no scouts to explore the horse?"
The head coach Duan Ji keenly felt the strange atmosphere.
Even though the main force of the Yan army was confronting Meng Luo in Mobei, the troops were not so embarrassed that they were not even enough to defend the capital.
With this in mind, he decisively stopped the march.
"What's wrong, General Duan? Is something wrong?"
"You quickly send a team of scouts to explore the road. If there is any movement, report back immediately. If you are in danger, call us with artillery."
"Here!"
The scout leader immediately led his troops and galloped forward with twenty cavalry.
"The entire army is resting on the spot! Keep your armor on your body and your horses on their saddles!"
After marching for three consecutive days, the Han soldiers were exhausted, but when they thought of the achievements they had made after breaking the city, they did not complain at all.
They took out marching kettles of dry food to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger, and some took out black bean fodder to feed their war horses and mounts, seizing every opportunity to restore their physical fitness for the upcoming battle.
Duan Jiong finished a pot of water in one go, took a bite of fried noodles, then took out the looking glass and looked into the distance.
At this time, deputy general Xu Kun asked: "General Duan, we only have five thousand soldiers and horses, and they are all lightly armed and simple. How can we attack the capital of Yan?"
"Who told you that this general was going to attack the capital?"
"Then this is?"
"I'm not confident enough to rely on cavalry to climb over the city wall. It's Huo Shuai's job to attack the city wall. My general's responsibility is to clear out all the resistance forces outside Yandu."
"The Yan army will really come to us for a decisive battle?"
"What options do they have?"
The cold words made Xu Kun shudder.
Just listen to Duan Jue continue to say word by word: "This general will slowly eat away the Yan army's strength one by one. In the meantime, the Yan capital will be a turtle in the urn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a soft sound in the distance.
Duan Juan and Xu Kun both picked up the looking glass and looked at it, only to see traces of fireworks blooming in the northeast sky.
"Mount your horse! Attack!"
Duan Jiong gave an order and decisively ordered the entire army to gallop northeast.
In an instant, thousands of horses galloped, and a death storm once again rolled up in the still world.
…
Outside the capital of King Yan, Murong Bao suddenly frowned as he looked at the twenty Han cavalrymen lying in a pool of blood with their hearts pierced by thousands of arrows, as well as the hundreds of Yan cavalrymen around them.
He had expected that the Han army would take advantage of Murong Lian's troops to fight Tuoba Si to attack Yandu, so he started an ambush on Wolf King Mountain in Yandu half a month ago, hoping to take advantage of the Han army's unpreparedness. It caught him off guard.
But he never expected that he was still too naive, and the Han army discovered his trick at the cost of only twenty riders.
But now, he simply decided to fight to the death with the Han army.
He still has 20,000 cavalry, which may not be able to block the steel torrent of the Han army.
"Warriors of the Yan Kingdom! Those humble Han people are going to challenge the wolves. Are you willing to let your land, your women, and your wealth become bargaining chips for the Han people to claim credit?"
“I don’t want to~~”
"You are the children of Mother Earth and the descendants of the Heavenly Wolf King. This land is the foundation for our Yan people to survive for generations. Are you willing to watch them fall under the iron heel of the Han people?"
“I don’t want to!!!”
"The Murong clan regards heaven as their father and the earth as their father. Only our gods are worthy of our kneeling! Are you willing to crawl under the feet of the Han people and live an ignoble existence!"
"I don't want to!"
“We don’t want to~~”
Encouraged by Murong Bao, the 20,000 Yan Army cavalry roared like a mountain and a tsunami.
Once upon a time, the world outside the Great Wall had always been dominated by nomads. When did it become the turn of a group of two-legged sheep who relied on farming to take charge?
Nomads are born warriors. How can they, the best on horseback, be ridden on their heads by a bunch of cowardly mud-legged men like you?
At this moment, the wolf nature in them was awakened.
Greedy, cruel, and vicious.
This is the Murong clan's greatest asset for surviving on the grassland.
"Okay, warriors of the Yan Army, let this Wolf King Mountain witness the rise of our Great Yan Kingdom! Mother Earth will definitely protect us and achieve the glory that should belong to us!"
"Ho~~"
The howl of the wolf shook the sky and echoed throughout the world.
…
"Where is this place?"
"Wolf King Mountain!"
"Stop the whole army!"
At the foot of Wolf King Mountain, Duan Jiong ordered the entire army to stop and personally led the team to observe the terrain.
After a rough assessment, he discovered that half of Wolf King Mountain was a cliff with a horseshoe-shaped canyon surrounding it.
It seems that the only way to enter the mountain is from the front.
"If you want to use the mountain to swoop down and expand the effect of the cavalry charge, it's a good idea, but it's a pity."
A cold smile hung on Duan Yan's face.
Xu Kun asked: "General Duan, why are you holding back your troops?"
Duan Yan pointed in the direction of the cliff: "If I were the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army, I would definitely not give up the greatest impact advantage of the cavalry. Do you see the passage leading to the upper wind of Wolf King Mountain?
As long as the enemy passes through the canyon, I will lead the troops to charge straight and launch an offensive against the enemy from behind. How can the enemy organize to meet the enemy in chaos? "
Xu Kun nodded.
Duan Jiong continued: "If the enemy goes up a gentle slope to fight me decisively, I can occupy the advantageous position and cover up the army to make a sudden attack. I can use the advantage of the gentle slope to crush the enemy's force. Oh, how can I fall into his evil plan?"
Xu Kun: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be difficult to move even an inch?"
"No!"
Duan Jiong said.
"Although the Yan army had all the advantages, they had a fatal flaw that they didn't notice!"
"What?"
"What is missing in Mobei?"
"This... subordinate doesn't know."
"water!"
Duan Zhuo's words were bone-chilling, and his pupils were filled with killing madness.
"Cut off its water source?"
Duan Ji nodded, and then ordered: "Order the army to dig out the soil and cut off the water source under the mountain!"
"Here!"
…
Two days later, Murong Bao drank the last sip of water, fidgeted with the water bag in a panic, and after making sure that there was no more water, he asked his subordinates: "Is there any water left?"
The Yan Army Sima shook his head: "General, the water has been exhausted."
"Why don't those who went to welcome the water come back?"
"My subordinates are going to investigate now."
Sima of the Yan Army was just about to leave when suddenly a Yan Army soldier who was looking for water was hit by an arrow and stumbled to Murong Bao's side.
"The general is in trouble! The Han army surrounded Langwang Mountain and cut off the water source at the foot of the mountain."
"What!"
Murong Bao was shocked when he heard this. He picked up his subordinates and said fiercely: "Didn't I send hundreds of horsemen to station near the water source? Why didn't the Han army come to report the attack?"
"General, He Buye and others have been killed by the Han army. Their heads were stacked into a Jingguan and placed at the foot of Wolf King Mountain."
"Ahhhhhh~~"
Murong Bao was furious when he heard this.
"Despicable and shameless Chinese dog! I wasted no time in planning to fight you openly, but I didn't expect to resort to such despicable means. It's annoying, it's annoying~~ Yeah yeah yeah~~~"
Suddenly, Murong Bao became furious and jumped on his horse decisively: "Warriors, follow me and rush down the mountain to kill all those shameful and dirty Chinese dogs!"
"Ho~~"
Twenty thousand cavalry roared in unison and began to attack down the mountain.
However, at this moment, thick smoke billowed from the hillside in the distance.
"what is that?"
Seeing this scene, Murong Bao felt a chill in his heart, and a strong uneasiness swept through his body.
