Although Guo Zhiping's words were very cautious and left him an escape route in advance, Ye Mingsheng could still feel his confidence from his words.
Although Ye Mingsheng has not assigned any tasks to Guo Zhiping and the cavalry team in the past few months, as his beloved, Ye Mingsheng has been silently paying attention to the training situation of the cavalry team under Guo Zhiping... ···
Regarding the support and trust given by Ye Mingsheng, Guo Zhiping was also moved by the feeling that a soldier would die for his confidant. During this period, he basically stayed in the military camp for food and accommodation, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the training of the cavalry. He wanted to Build a thousand-man cavalry for Ye Mingsheng.
Thanks to Guo Zhiping's efforts, the current cavalry team has basically set up a good fight. In the previous battles with Xiao Xiu and Brother Yeluhan, although the cavalry team had the same number of people, it was still unable to defeat the Khitans. This nation, which was born on horseback, gained an advantage, but they also fought in an orderly manner, with back and forth.
Being able to rely on the advantages of numbers and equipment to annihilate several small groups of Khitan Rangers and accumulate a certain amount of combat experience. Ye Mingsheng was very satisfied with the good start. At the same time, Ye Mingsheng was satisfied with the cavalry team under his command. Placed higher hopes··········
The current situation is almost clear. Although he is in a critical situation, Ye Mingsheng does not want to abandon the more than two thousand brothers of the third battalion and leave in despair with the cavalry as He Jingyun proposed.
First of all, that's not his Ye Mingsheng's style!
Secondly, Ye Mingsheng admitted that he underestimated Ye Luyan and accidentally fell into his trick and fell into a critical situation. However, in Ye Mingsheng's view, this did not mean that he had already lost and was defeated before fighting. !
When he was on Earth, in order to write and expand his knowledge reserve, Ye Mingsheng read a famous book. If he remembered correctly, there was a sentence in it that said that when the struggle is the most difficult, victory is often about to come. is also the time when it is easiest to be shaken...
Looking back on this sentence now, Ye Mingsheng feels that this sentence can be said to be a very accurate description of the situation of him and his three thousand soldiers!
Yeluyan's move was very bold. He ignored Lin Huaiwu's troops in Xinfa County and led his troops directly to the hinterland of Fengzhou, hoping to eat him.
While this move put Ye Mingsheng in danger, it also put Ye Luyan himself in danger!
After all, this is the hinterland of Fengzhou, Ye Mingsheng's territory. As long as Yeluyan cannot take him over in a short time, he will first have to face the problem of logistical supply.
Secondly, Ye Mingsheng can mobilize Yuan Song's tribe in Qumaling and Lin Huaiwu's tribe in Xinfa County to come to support. This will form a situation of attacking from the front and back, closing the door and beating the dog. At that time, the offensive and defensive momentum will change again. !
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng is really not willing to run away in despair like this. Ye Luyan is so talented and dares to make such dangerous moves, and Ye Mingsheng dares to accompany him to give it a try!
In this battle, he, Ye Mingsheng, took the gamble!
Seeing the change in Ye Mingsheng's expression, He Jingyun seemed to be aware of Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, and couldn't help but persuade him again:
"Lord General··········"
Before He Jingyun could finish speaking, Ye Mingsheng interrupted him and said:
"General He, I know what you are thinking, but I want to give it a try. On the land of Dazhou, I believe God will help me!"
"From now on, our three thousand soldiers and horses will be divided into three shifts to strengthen the fortifications for an hour each. Before dawn, I want to see three trenches in front of and behind the stronghold, the front trench, the middle trench, and the rear trench. Each trench You have to stick a spear in me!"
"Send an order to Yuan Song in Qumaling, asking him to come within three days to provide support!"
"Send an order to Lin Huaiwu of Xinfa County and ask him to lead his troops out of Xinfa County and put pressure on Yeluyan from behind. Since Yeluyan is so talented, let me see who is tougher this time, me or him!"
···············
···············
In a very hidden mountain col somewhere near Yaowo Fort.
Although it was already late at night, Yeluyan in the felt tent was dressed in military uniform with a scimitar on his waist, as if he was waiting for something...
Ye Luyan originally planned to wait for Ye Mingsheng to attack Yaowobao tomorrow, but he suddenly rushed out, caught Ye Mingsheng by surprise, and wiped out Ye Mingsheng's troops. It would be better to chop off Ye Mingsheng's head and use it as his collection. Taste.
He already collected the head of a Fengzhou commander, but that head was too old and he didn't particularly like it. Young heads like Ye Mingsheng were his favorite in the collection.
Ye Luyan had been planning this attack for a long time. He had already investigated clearly early on. Ye Mingsheng's 7,000 soldiers and horses were divided into three locations. Therefore, as long as these 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Ye Mingsheng were annihilated. , the door to the hinterland of Fengzhou will be opened, and he can already sweep away the property and population of Fengzhou City.
It was with this intention that Ye Luyan formulated this battle plan, hoping to use the high mobility of his cavalry troops to beat Ye Mingsheng at a time lag.
After getting hold of Ye Mingsheng and starting the pursuit, Xiao Xiu and Brother Yeluhan, Yeluyan, who was originally staying in Xinfa County, immediately ordered his men and two horses to rush to the waist as quickly as possible without resting. Ye Mingsheng lurks in the valley of the fort.
Ye Luyan didn't care. Lin Huaiwu, who was restrained by him, chased after him after discovering that he had left. The reason was very simple, two legs could not run as well as four!
In Ye Luyan's view, it was a good thing that Lin Huaiwu led his troops in pursuit. After he annihilated Ye Mingsheng in Yaowo Fort, he could turn around and annihilate Lin Huaiwu and his men on the plains, leaving the protection of the city. Two thousand infantry.
I have to say that Yeluyan planned very well, making full use of their high mobility with many cavalry, but unfortunately, plans and reality are often different...
Ye Luyan did not expect that at such a late night, Ye Mingsheng sent two groups of scouts out to investigate the situation and found him hiding in his mountain col. This made his plan for a surprise attack go bankrupt before it could be implemented.
Although he was a little annoyed that he had lost the advantage of a surprise attack, Ye Luyan didn't care too much. After all, he still had the advantage on the cards. He was fully confident that he could lead his cavalry to overwhelm Ye Mingsheng's camp within one day. , beheaded Ye Mingsheng under the horse.
But before that, he was a little worried. After seeing him appear, would Ye Mingsheng be like a cowardly lamb and escape overnight, which would not be fun...
