As early as Sun Bo's vanguard army rushed to Gusu City, Qin Feng's southern expedition plan had been quietly launched.
After all, this matter is of great importance, and Qin Feng will never wait until the beginning of spring to start a fair war with the powerful clans in the south, fighting against generals and generals.
The situation in Gusu City has already been conveyed to Qin Feng's ears through Jin Yiwei.
As more and more troops were stationed, Qin Feng, instead of being nervous at all, became more and more relaxed.
Gusu City is so big, and at its peak, it only had more than 10,000 troops stationed there.
Now, 50,000 people have been crammed in at one go, and the material consumption alone is an extremely terrifying number.
Qin Feng just wanted to wait until Gusu City's carrying capacity reached its limit.
In this way, all we need to do is to besiege Gusu City, and it won't take long for Gusu City to collapse from within.
In the final analysis, the best way to fight a tough battle is always to "encircle without attacking".
But how easy is it to besiege Gusu City?
Just the series of important city-states behind Gusu City gave Qin Feng a huge headache.
Therefore, the key to capturing Gusu City lies not in Gusu City itself, but in how to cut off Gusu City's backup.
Qin Feng's plan is simple, but extremely subtle.
Three thousand Beixi Qingqi, in batches, gradually penetrated into the boundaries of Gusu City.
Although it is said to be infiltration, this place is the territory of the Southern Realm's wealthy families after all. There are many eyes, ears and eyes, so it is impossible to completely cover up.
Because of this, Qin Feng was able to take advantage of his plan.
As long as Gusu City gets news of the entry of elites from the north, it will inevitably become tense and strengthen the defense of Gusu City.
In this regard, Qin Feng is extremely confident.
Firstly, it was because Qin Feng had just finished the Beidi War and was in the spotlight.
Secondly, Lin Wenwan is in charge of Gusu City. Lin Wenwan knows Qin Feng very well, and precisely because of this, it is easier for her to be clever and be misled by her cleverness.
Of course, the most important thing is to ensure that Gusu City is defensive.
It also depends on the pressure from Sun Bo's army.
The vanguard army is made up of the Central Plains Imperial Party and the Gyeonggi garrison. Its combat effectiveness is self-evident, and it is mainly infantry.
Infantry is the main force, which means that this vanguard army moves slowly but is not easily conquered.
To completely annihilate the vanguard, at least twice as many troops are needed.
And Lin Wenwan obviously would not let the defenders of Gusu City come out in full force.
As long as it can be determined that Gusu City will adopt a defensive posture.
Then there is a lot to be done on the battlefield outside the city!
These three thousand Beixi Qingqi, relying on the advantage of their war horses, can shuttle back and forth between Gusu City and the rear city.
Although this cavalry could not capture any city, nor could it engage in any "frontal hard battle".
But just by continuously attacking and killing the logistics troops, disrupting the rhythm of the war, and requiring the southern army to send a large number of manpower to protect the logistics troops, the strategic purpose has been achieved.
Not to mention directly cutting off the logistics line, the disruption alone is enough to cause huge pressure on Gusu City.
At the same time, the craftsman troops of the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade have quietly advanced towards Gusu City.
As soon as the baggage troops arrive, they can begin to assemble various siege equipment and launch an all-round attack on Gusu City.
There are vanguard troops guarding outside, and when the Gusu City defenders come out, they will face a field battle.
If you don't come out, you will always be bullied by siege equipment.
This is a strategy to trap the enemy and encroach.
But in addition, Qin Feng also has a backup plan, which is... Gusu City sends troops abroad in advance, and the plan can change accordingly.
At this time, Gusu City Qingqi, who was being chased and intercepted, was already in Qin Feng's backup plan.
Liu Ming and Sun Bo had only one mission, which was to do their best to trap this Qingqi.
Then use this light cavalry as bait to weaken the morale of the defenders in the city, or induce the opponent to open the city gate.
At this time, the vanguard cavalry had already attacked Gusu City, starting from Gusu City and driving away the Gusu City light cavalry from east to west.
Because of the gap in horse power and bow and arrow reserves, Gusu City Qingqi did not dare to fight rashly with the Pioneer Qingqi, and could only keep running away.
Under normal circumstances, the vanguard cavalry would not be able to catch up with the Gusu City cavalry in a short period of time.
pity……
Before the Beixi Qingqi carried out the task of "interspersing and blocking logistics", they were all scattered around Gusu City, in units of a hundred people.
Before performing the logistics task, the only thing they had to do was to assist Sun Bo.
Not long after, the Gusu City cavalry were entangled by more than a hundred Beixi Qingqi.
One thousand seven versus one hundred, the difference is seventeen times.
Beixi Qingqi, who should have been crushed directly, instead fought and retreated, causing Gusu City Qingqi's scalp to go numb.
The reason is very simple. Beixi Qingqi is sitting there waiting for work and has abundant horsepower.
The war horses of Gusu City Qingqi were already exhausted.
Before this, too many arrows were consumed when harassing Sun Bo's vanguard. On the other hand, the arrows carried by each of the Beixi Qingqi were more than twice the standard quota.
Coupled with the Beixi Qingqi, the "cavalry" advantage was taken to the extreme.
Continuously weaken training in "foot combat".
As a result, there are only two main training subjects for Beixi Qingqi. One is riding and the other is archery.
These Beixi Qingqi, who specialize in mounted archery, will never engage in close combat with any enemy.
How long they can fight depends entirely on how many arrows they carry, and even the horseshoes have been cancelled.
When the arrows are finished, they will withdraw from the battlefield without hesitation and look for the nearest material transfer station or military stronghold to replenish the arrows.
The Gusu City Qingqi could not catch up with the Beixi Qingqi, and they were frequently shot by the opponent's arrows.
After the more than one hundred Beixi Qingqi withdrew from the battlefield, the Gusu City Qingqi were in chaos.
It is not known how many people were killed. The general Wu Teng only knew that of the 1,700 cavalry under his command, only more than 500 were left, and the rest were all scattered.
Before Wu Teng could breathe a sigh of relief, another energetic and well-equipped Beixi Qingqi rushed out.
This time it was even more extreme, there were only over fifty people.
However, the sparse Beixi Qingqi began to harass Wu Teng's troops without hesitation.
After a series of fierce battles, the arrows of Wu Teng and his men were almost exhausted. They could not replenish them. Faced with the continuous harassment of Beixi Qingqi, they could only passively take the beating.
In the end, there was really no choice but to turn the horse's head and rush in the opposite direction.
During this period, explorers kept coming together.
"General, there are Sun Bo cavalry approaching from the north."
Wu Teng had no choice but to flee to the southeast.
As a result, not long after, another spy came to report.
"General, there are enemy troops in the three directions, northeast and west!"
The war horse under Wu Teng's crotch was almost unable to run, could not be beaten, and could not escape. He couldn't help but roar hysterically.
"What nonsense Mrs. Lin, she's just a woman with long hair and short knowledge!"
