Horse on the World

Chapter 232 The story of the wolf coming
Zhenglan Banner Sushun didn't get rid of the Dingzhou cavalry's pursuit until dark. When the scouts reported that the Dingzhou cavalry had retreated and the Long Xiao Army, led by Naben, rushed to help, he Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, finally avoiding an annexation with the Dingzhou soldiers.

Taking down Dingzhou, Sushun also wanted to, but he didn't want his soldiers to pay a heavy price. The best result was to follow Long Xiaojun's ass and beat the dog in the water. Let him be the first to eat crabs He is absolutely unwilling.Han Ningqi, who wanted to do this, has now returned to the underworld, and the second Daishan who wanted to do it was beheaded by his own son. The bloody facts prove that the Dingzhou Army is a thorn, even if he gnaws it down , their mouths will be covered in blood, not to mention, so far, all the ministries in the grassland have been stabbed in their mouths with blood, and the flesh has not been eaten a few bites.Thinking of the excellent equipment of the Dingzhou soldiers, Sushun's scalp tingled for a while.

Bayar, since you are the emperor of the Yuanwu Empire and the leader of the prairie goose, you should pay a little more, Sushun thought in his heart.

"Sushun Banner Master!" Na Ben rode his horse up to Sushun and got off his horse.

"Second prince!" Naben used to be called Uncle Sushun, but now it's no different than before, Han Ningqi died, Daishan died, Boyan is a staunch ally of the Bai people, and he is already a loner, so of course he should keep a low profile. "Fortunately, you came in time to scare away the Dingzhou army. The second prince is wise and powerful, and he is indeed the future eagle of our grassland." After Najib's death, Naben has already risen.

Na Ben frowned slightly, his bronzed face was drenched with water, he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, his glossy black hair was meticulously braided into countless small braids, and a purple gold headband tied his hair, from the bottom of his heart, Na Ben frowned. Li really hates Sushun, a sloppy guy, but the current situation makes him have to keep this disgust in his heart.

"Banner, why do you keep retreating instead of fighting? You have [-] elite troops, and the enemy has no more than [-] troops. If you can entangle your opponent and wait for me to arrive, it will be a great opportunity to wipe out the Dingzhou cavalry .”

Sushun's face was full of smiles, "Second prince, you haven't faced Dingzhou cavalry head-on, and you don't know the opponent's bravery and excellent equipment. Let me tell you the truth from the second prince, although I have [-] elites, if I really fight They are against me, but I have no chance of winning. Han Ningqi, Daishan’s lesson from the past, they all thought they were strong, but they were defeated by Dingzhou soldiers. Besides, look at our Zhenglanqi , there are only a few thousand iron armors, most of which are leather armors, and although there are few soldiers in Dingzhou, everyone is wearing solid armor. The strength of bows and crossbows, and the fierceness of long-range strikes are beyond my comparison. Your Majesty give me The order was to attack Zhenyuan Castle, not to fight a decisive battle with Dingzhou cavalry!"

When Na Ben heard this, he suddenly became furious. After all, he still wanted to preserve his strength. If Sushun could entangle the Dingzhou soldiers no matter the cost, he could at least wipe out the opponent when he arrived. Let the opponent run away.

Taking a deep breath, Na Ben sneered and said, "Since we are attacking the Zhenyuan Fortress, I don't know what's going on right now? Have you ever captured it?" Sushun spread his hands, and said with a fake smile: "Attacking the Fortress, I It’s not my strong point in the grassland cavalry. I’ve worked very hard, and my subordinates have also worked hard. If you don’t believe me, the second prince can go to Zhenyuan City to see the mountains of my men. Since the second prince is here, why don’t you help? With my help, let me see the bravery of the second prince? Hahaha, since the second prince has arrived, with the second prince's prodigious power, the Zhenyuan Fortress must be able to take down with one hand, and I am willing to fight for the second prince."

Na Ben was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and two Buddhas fell to the ground. The [-] Long Xiao Army cavalry in his hands did not even have a single siege tool. How could he attack the fortress of Jiancheng? His face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water Come, but under the smile on Sushun's face, he sneered in his heart: "Fight with me, you are still a little tender."

"Second prince, the scouts came to report just now. The Dingzhou cavalry did not withdraw to Shahe Town, but went straight to Dingyuan Fortress. It seems that they want to fight the Zhenghuang Banner and the Yellow Banner. Shall we go to support Boyan Banner immediately? Lord?" It was Hu Sha'an, the general of the Long Xiao Army who spoke.

Na Ben narrowed his eyes, "You said they went to Dingyuan again?"

Hushaan nodded affirmatively.

Na Ben's eyes lit up, he looked at Sushun and said: "Sushun Banner Master, there is a great opportunity right now, do you dare to come with me?"

Sushun cupped his hands and said, "Second Prince, please speak clearly."

"More than [-] cavalrymen from Dingzhou went straight to Dingyuan, obviously wanting to fight the Zhenghuang Banner and the Yellow Banner. At this time, Shahe Town was empty. We bypassed Zhenyuan, went directly to Shahe Town, and captured Li Qing. The Chinese army camp."

Sushun's eyes brightened at first, but then he thought of another possibility, "Second prince, this is too risky, please be careful, even if these tens of thousands of cavalry go to Dingyuan, there is still Li Qing's Changsheng What about the two battalions of cavalry from the Whirlwind Battalion? Besides, it is the Qi Nian Division who defends Shahe Town. Wang Qinian is best at breaking cavalry with his feet. It would be great to take Shahe Town, but what if we can’t take it? What if they are entangled in Shahe Town? The Zhenyuan Fortress is a knife on our heads. What about our logistics supplies? If it is sealed in If they enter this area, there is a danger that the entire army will be wiped out."

Na Ben said angrily: "The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous. As long as you are [-]% sure of the battle, you can try it. We are all cavalry, come and go freely, pester us, what does Li Qing use to pester us? His The Guards Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion were depleted of elites in the Battle of Baideng Mountain, how much combat power will the rebuilt army have left?"

Sushun just shook his head and said: "Second prince, if it is true as you said, our department is willing to send a cavalry to follow the second prince to attack Shahe Town, but most of the troops still have to be stationed in Zhenyuan to ensure safety. If it succeeds, we can push forward, if the second prince fails, there is no danger of retreat, and we can retreat at any time."

Facing Sushun who refused to enter, Na Ben had nothing to say, and said in a cold voice: "Then how many cavalry can the Banner Sushun give me?"

Sushun slapped openly, "Five thousand, Second Prince, this is already a quarter of my army strength, there can be no more."

"Five thousand is five thousand, Hu Sha'an, the army, let's go!"

Boyan was very annoyed at the Dingyuan Fortress. The general Bolu died on the top of the city, and his head is still hanging high on the top of the city. Guan Xinglong’s night attack burned a lot of his baggage, making his attack The momentum of the city had to stop, looking at the continuous rain outside the tent, but he didn't know how to vent the anger in his heart.

"Banner Master!" A general strode into the tent, "Fifty miles away from our camp, we found a large number of Dingzhou cavalry charging towards us."

"Dingzhou cavalry?" Boyan stood up, "How many and where did they come from?"

"About ten thousand people came from the direction of Zhenyuan Fortress."

Boyan pondered for a moment, "Dingzhou has always avoided field battles with us. Why is there a large number of cavalry coming from Zhenyuan at this time? Is there any news from Sushun?"

The general shook his head: "Our communication with Zhenyuan has been completely cut off. I don't know what's going on there?"

"The left wing of the camp is on guard, don't act rashly, first see what these Dingzhou people want to do." Boyan said, "Beat the drums and call the generals to discuss matters."

The two cavalry battalions of the Qi Nian Division led by Shang Haibo, together with the two thousand cavalry of Feng Guo's Panshi Battalion, stopped ten miles away from Boyan and set up camp on the spot. It looked like a plan for a long-term battle. This made Boyan suspicious. He didn't know what happened in the direction of Zhenyuan, but Dingzhou soldiers were stationed on his left flank in a big way. You know, his left flank is only a hundred miles away from Sushun's Zhenyuan camp.On the one hand, he ordered a large number of scouts to sneak in the direction of Zhenyuan, trying to find out the exact news, and on the other hand, he sent people to report to the Long Xiaojun in Naben, asking the Long Xiaojun to approach him.

After doing these things, Boyan tilted his defensive center of gravity to the left wing. Before finding out the details of the enemy, Boyan didn't want to take risks.

It was night, the direction of Dingzhou army was frightened all night. Every other time, the lights in the camp were brightly lit, and the drums of war shook the sky. It seemed that they would rush out of the camp at any time to launch an attack. The flags and drums died down, and there was no sound.Several times of harassment overnight made Boyan's troops exhausted. At the fourth watch, the drums in the Dingzhou camp were loud again. This time, except for the left-wing troops, the entire camp ignored them and went about their own business I buried my head in a deep sleep, and sure enough, the Dingzhou soldiers, who were thundering and raining little, fell silent again after beating a drum.There was no sign of leaving the city to fight.

"A strategy for tired soldiers!" Boyan sneered, "I dare to use such a pediatric combat technique over and over again." After despising the opponent's general in his heart, he also climbed onto the soft couch, I went to sleep on my own.

Lingcheng, when it was about to dawn, the sky was getting darker and darker. The rain finally stopped. Shang Haibo stood on the podium, looked at Boyan's camp opposite, and said with a smile: "It's almost done, beat the drums for me." The drums sounded again, but this time, the barbarian camp on the opposite side did not respond at all, Shang Haibo laughed loudly, "It's done, the commander's attack will start soon!"

Before the words fell, the ground seemed to tremble. This was the amazing effect caused by tens of thousands of horses galloping at the same time. Shang Haibo tried his best to open his eyes wide, trying to penetrate the night and saw the two battalions of Boyan's right wing Li Qing. cavalry.At this time, his [-] cavalrymen were also ready to go. The cavalrymen who had slept beautifully all night were all full of energy and ready to attack at any time.

When the ground trembled, Boyan got up from the bed and said loudly: "Has the enemy started to attack? Prepare to fight back, fight back!"

A general rushed into the tent and said in a trembling voice, "Patriarch, the enemy is from our right wing, and has already broken through the camp of the right wing."

"What?" Boyan immediately petrified to the ground. "Where's the left wing? Where's the Dingzhou cavalry on the left?"

"The Dingzhou cavalry on the left wing have already left the camp, so the first attack is on our right wing."

Boyan was sweating like rain. At this moment, he understood that the cavalry in Dingzhou had come out in full force, and the target was himself.
