Chapter 69: Run if you can't beat it
On that day, Yang Hong led 10,000 soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty to the river channel near Qingzhou and began to dig clay.
Zhao Yan emphasized that as long as the moist and fine soil layer is not enough, it is not enough to have soil particles larger than the size of a date pit.
Shen Tuyi sent 5,000 soldiers to place hundreds of large tanks on the open space outside the five passes in Qingzhou, and the tanks were filled with water.
As for what to use for these, Zhao Yan did not explain it.
Some secrets, once some details are leaked, they will be found by the enemy, so Zhao Yan is very cautious.
That evening, Zhao Yan called Shen Tuyi and Yang Hong into the camp, and the three of them chatted for more than an hour.
The next day, it was not yet dawn.
Shen Tuyi summoned 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to appear outside the pass, while Zhao Yan stood on the city wall not far away.
"Brothers, do you know what we are doing this time?" Shen Tuyi said loudly while sitting on a tall horse.
"Kill the Beimeng Dog!" A uniform voice came from below.
Shen Tuyi smiled faintly and shook his head.
"No, this time, we are going to be bait, we can only lose and not pursue!"
The soldiers below were stunned.
Twenty thousand soldiers left the pass, and they clearly wanted to fight a tough battle, but now the order is to be defeated. What is the way to fight?
All the soldiers were puzzled.
"The specific situation is too late for me to explain. You just need to obey the flag order, let you rush, let you rush, let you rush, and let you rush, and do not disobey!" Shen Tuyi said seriously.
"Yes!" the soldiers and generals said in unison.
In the military camp, obeying orders is the soldiers' duty. Even if Shen Tuyi asks them to break into the enemy camp alone, no one dares to disobey.
"Walk!"
As soon as the flag was shaken, ten thousand cavalry opened the way, and ten thousand infantry followed him, and then rushed towards the North Mongolian military camp in a mighty manner.
At this moment, Yang Hong also went out with 20,000 soldiers, but when these people were dispatched, they were not weapons, but bags of clay and water tanks filled with water. Their destination was only ten miles away.
Looking at the dust rising in the distance, Zhao Yan murmured: If this battle can be won, the Great Zhou might be able to recover Shenzhou and Qingzhou by at least 30%.
In the Northern Mongolian military camp, the soldiers were having breakfast. After dinner, they were about to start attacking the Great Zhou.
At this time, soldiers came to report that a large number of cavalry in the Great Zhou rushed towards the Northern Mongolian military camp. According to spies' investigation, there were at least 20,000 people.
Ergu was stunned and said to himself in confusion: "Just like the Great Zhou, how dare you fight a tough battle?"
Ergu thought for a moment, then suddenly became excited.
"Come on, hurry up and get the Agula cavalry regiment to prepare for the battle!"
Outside the Shenzhou Pass, there is a flat land. If the Agula Cavalry Regiment rushed out, even if it faced the 50,000 cavalry of the Great Zhou, it would still be able to break out.
"Since you are looking for death, I'm not polite!" Ergu licked his lips, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Half an hour later.
The 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry led by Shen Tuyi were less than two miles away from the Shenzhou Pass.
At this moment, Ergu stood on the city wall and whispered: "Send troops!"
Ergu doesn't like being surrounded by others because this will not give full play to the huge advantages of the cavalry.
Swish!
The black king flag of Northern Mongolia waved on the city wall and the pass opened immediately. Ten thousand cavalrymen rushed outside first, and then five thousand infantrymen were holding crossbows and spears. Then there were five thousand fully armed Agula Cavalry Regiment.
In the blink of an eye, the battle of attack became a battle of attack.
Shen Tuyi looked at the dust in the distance and couldn't help but feel happy and murmured: "Your Majesty is really a god. He actually guessed that Bei Meng would definitely attack the main attack!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Huanglong commander flag of the Great Zhou shook left and right, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou immediately formed a battle formation and then ran forward.
Each of the infantry carried fifty arrows. When the distance between the two sides was about 100 meters, the bows and arrows could cause the greatest damage.
"Shoot the arrow!" Shen Tuyi shouted loudly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows rushed towards the Northern Mongolian army like rain.
At this moment, the Northern Meng had already prepared. The infantry rushed to the cavalry and quickly formed layers of shields.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
All I could hear was the sound of long arrows hitting the shield.
This wave of bow and arrow attacks did not cause much damage.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters.
"Run!"
Almost instantly, the double convenience battle began.
Hands-to-hand combat is the cruelest way of fighting on the battlefield. Either you die or I die.
Form a formation! Form a formation! Form a formation!
Shen Tuyi shouted loudly behind the army, and the commander-in-chief flag not far away was waving vigorously.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty formed a formation in units of capital and cut the Northern Mongolian army into pieces.
Ergu, standing on the city wall, showed a look of contempt and smile on his face.
"Hmph, although the queue has improved, it is simply a dream to defeat our Northern Mongolian Army!"
Ergu made a big move and said, "Agula Cavalry Regiment will fight!"
In ancient times, wars were full of morale. Once the Agula Cavalry Group broke out a hole in the Great Zhou army, the morale of the Great Zhou soldiers would be immediately disintegrated, and the battle formation could not be set open, and the only thing that could be massacred.
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
The moment the Agula cavalry rushed out of the pass, the surrounding ground trembled.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The black king flag in Northern Mongolia swung, and a large area was immediately empty in the middle.
The Agula Cavalry Regiment rushed towards the army of the Great Zhou like a surging flood.
Raoshi Shentuyi had heard of the information about the Agula Cavalry Regiment, but after seeing the real situation, he was still very trembling.
Such a team is completely invincible on the plains, which is really terrible!
"withdraw!"
With a wave of Shen Tuyi's hand, the Great Zhou army began to retreat.
The cavalry quickly turned around, then pulled the infantry on the ground, carried the two of them with one horse, and quickly retreated. Although they still looked a little panicked, they did not cause any unexpected casualties.
This is Zhao Yan's order to retreat immediately as soon as he sees the Agula cavalry rushing out of the pass.
Ergu looked at the embarrassed soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Haha, stupid, what a stupid talent. Who thought of this way to carry two people with one horse? I don't know the slightest military tactics. I let the Agula Cavalry Group rush for me, rush straight to the Qingzhou Pass, and send another 20,000 cavalry. Today, I will catch Zhao Yan!"
Although the speed was accelerated in a short time, the war horse would inevitably fall tired and fall in less than half an hour. By then, the war horse would become a burden.
But Shen Tuyi could not have known this kind of common sense. When Zhao Yan discussed tactics with the generals last night, everyone had already considered it.
If you can't beat it, run away, and if you can beat it, run away.
Although the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were indeed somewhat different from those of the Northern Mongolian in terms of strength, they were still able to run easily due to long-term training.
