Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 999 Lure the Enemy Deep 1
Two days later, there was a sudden mobilization of soldiers and horses in the camp of the Han Army. In the evening, the spies of the Guishuang Army saw a large number of elite cavalry rushing out of the camp of the Han Army. Tight, the spies of the Guishuang Army couldn't figure out how many Han troops had left the camp.

However, until after dawn, the Guishuang army was not affected in any way. It seems that the Han troops who left the camp yesterday were not targeting them.

"General Qi, the spies are here to report. Judging from the traces of the Han army's march, they are heading north." A general walked in and wanted to report to his superiors. The former commander of the Guishuang Army was a man in his 40s. His middle-aged man, his name is Yan Gaoji, and he has been the most valiant general in Guishuang in the past ten years.

He is a descendant of Yan Gaozhen, the former monarch of Guishuang Kingdom, but unfortunately, the position of monarch of Guishuang Kingdom could not be passed down from their family, and his family also began to decline after Yan Gaozhen's death. The most outstanding man in the family, Yan Gaoji never wanted to revive the family's glory, so he changed his name after he became an adult, implying that he inherited the ability and courage of his ancestor Yan Gaozhen.

I have to say that Yan Gaoji is really powerful, and there are few people in the country who can compare to him. If he hadn't led the army to fight in the east and west in these years, I am afraid that Guishuang Kingdom would have been harassed by those nomadic tribes.This time he sent troops to the Western Regions, but he was actually just a partial general. The deliberate suppression of the monarch and the designs of those political opponents made it difficult for him to move forward.He needs military achievements to stabilize his status and glory, and only in this way can he stop the rumors of his opponents in the country.

This is also the main reason why he led a [-] army ahead of the rest of the troops and arrived at the front line earlier. He was shocked by the change of the Han army yesterday. He thought it was Yan Liang who was about to launch a large-scale raid on him. Fortunately, the intelligence sent by the spies denied it. all this.

"Have you ever found out how many soldiers and horses the enemy has dispatched?" Yan Gaoji looked at his subordinates and asked, "So many people dispatched, it is impossible not to leave some traces."

"Judging from the traces of the horseshoes, the enemy has dispatched at least [-] riders,,,,,,"

"So many, the Han army's cavalry has dispatched a lot..." When some generals heard this, they began to speculate how many people the Han army dispatched. Twenty thousand cavalry is not a small number.

"There shouldn't be so many." Yan Gaoji looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Han army is well-equipped. When the emperor formed the cavalry in his early years, he required three or even four cavalry per person in order to ensure the quality of the cavalry. In terms of combat effectiveness and maneuverability, this emperor is indeed amazing, and his move can be said to have maximized the advantages of the cavalry."

"Then, that is to say, the Han army may only have 1 troops out of the camp last night? What are they trying to do?"

"It may not necessarily be a lot of people. After all, our military spies only found out that about [-] horses left the Han army's camp. It is not certain how many of the [-] horses may be war horses. Therefore, the Han army who left the camp There won't be too many cavalry.

If I'm not mistaken, the task of these cavalry is to harass the rear of our army. "Yan Gaoji pointed to the map and said: "What a formidable opponent. He only sent a few cavalry to attack our army's morale and disrupt our army's rear. Let's go back to the army to stabilize the supply line, pass on the order, all the generals will come to my tent to discuss the military situation, we must do it first,,,,,, "

Gongsun Xu used the entire army to lay out this situation this time, how could he only send a few troops to harass the enemy's rear.Taking advantage of the cover of the night, [-] selected front troops were dispatched in batches. However, in order to confuse the enemy, nearly half of the selected front troops set off to the rear and side, and then detoured to the rear of the Guishuang army.It is impossible for the spies of the Guishuang Army to go deep to inquire about the news, so the Guishuang Army still does not know how many people the Han Army dispatched.

Knowing that his logistics supply line might be harassed, Yan Gaoji still decided to send troops, which seemed like a reckless act.In fact, Yan Gaoji knew very well that the reason why the friendly troops in the back slowed down was to get rid of him. Usually there will not be too many supplies sent.

Besides, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the cavalry of the Han army to detour to the rear to harass their allies. At least this can let those idiots in the rear know the seriousness and importance of the war. Win a battle to consolidate your position and shut up those idiots in the country.

Four days later, when he learned that some of the cattle and sheep of the Han army were grazing in the north, Yan Gaoji decisively sent [-] cavalry to plunder. Yan Gaoji doesn't mind if there are more words.

The Han army grazes the cattle and sheep in batches and blocks. Since there are more pastures in the north, and the camp is fifty miles away, a small half of the cattle and sheep gather here. These days, both sides are very quiet and there is no large It was recruited by hand, so it didn't seem that much danger to go out to graze. In addition, the Han army also sent [-] cavalry to guard them, so there would definitely not be any major problems.

When the [-] cavalry of Guishuang arrived, the [-] cavalry of the Han army were scattered everywhere. This was a battle without any suspense. The five thousand cavalry of the army could not resist, so they had to retreat.When they saw that the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains would belong to their own side, all the Guishuang cavalry went crazy, and they all galloped to snatch their trophies.

"Report to General, the Han army has indeed dispatched." The scout ran to Yan Gaoji and reported: "The Han army has dispatched about 5 people to the north to snatch cattle and sheep. I am afraid that the forward side of our army will not be able to support it."

"It's good to move, it's good to move, hahaha,,,,,," Yan Gaoji laughed and said, "The Han army is well-defended. If I want to attack the camp, I don't have the confidence yet, but since it's a field battle, Then we will have a chance, order the [-] cavalry from the left to attack the rear of the [-] cavalry of the Han army, and the rest will be on standby at any time.

Presumably, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would not have expected that today would be the beginning of a decisive battle between the two armies. Hmph, how could I let him be fully prepared before attacking? As long as these 5 people are defeated, the rest of the Han army will definitely be dispatched. At that time, We can defeat the Han army camp in one fell swoop, hahaha,,,,,, "

This battle for livestock was very fierce. The 5 cavalry of the Han army fought fiercely for most of the day when they were flanked by the enemy's [-] cavalry. Ten thousand people failed to deploy all of them, coupled with the situation of being attacked from both sides, they finally began to be defeated in the afternoon of the same day.The [-] Guishuang cavalry were also exhausted, and the prestige of the Han army was indeed not blown out. If it hadn't been for their own side to seize the initiative, it is really uncertain who lost today.
