Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

 Chapter 1610 Ran Min VS Zhou Yafu

 Chapter 1608: Ran Min VS Zhou Yafu

The Qin army has many elite troops, such as the Nine Dragon Guards, Iron Guards, Guards, Flying Tiger Army, etc., but the most representative ones are the trapped camp and the broken military camp.

Among the many elite troops of the Qin Army, Huben Camp's status is relatively embarrassing, neither above nor below, but this does not mean that Huben Camp's combat effectiveness is not strong.

In the hands of any other princes, Huben Camp is a well-deserved strong army. However, the Qin army has too many elites and the competition between the armies is extremely fierce. Therefore, Huben Camp's presence is not that strong, but Huben Camp Its comprehensive combat power is also beyond doubt.

Although the Huben camp is strong, the opponent this time is not weak either. Gongsun Shu's Liaodong cavalry and Zhou Yafu's Youzhou cavalry are both world-famous strong armies, and they will not fall behind even if they go head-to-head with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

From this it can be seen that the overall quality of the Northern Han cavalry was not much worse than that of the Qin army, but their total number was indeed more than three times that of the Qin army.

 You can imagine how dangerous this mission is.

Li Jing naturally knew that this mission was extremely dangerous, so he organized all the strong generals into the Huben Camp, in order to try his best to increase the combat effectiveness of the Huben Camp, minimize casualties, and hope that the Huben Camp could return safely.

General Ran Min, Tai Shici and others left with the Huben Camp. Looking at the Huben Camp gradually disappearing, Yin Shiniang asked, "Sir, can General Ran Min and the others successfully complete this mission?"

 “Definitely.”

Li Jing's eyes were full of determination and he said solemnly: "Just follow the strategy I set."

　　——————

On the other side, 10,000 Northern Han cavalry were also galloping towards Beihai, with the purpose of intercepting Li Jing's 55,000 Qin army.

Among the 10,000 Northern Han cavalry, Zhou Yafu and Gongsun Shu each had 5,000. Although Wang Mang did not explicitly appoint who was the chief general, Zhou Yafu was a member of the Northern Han emperor Liu Che, so the 10,000-strong army was also led by Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu was the second son of Zhou Bo, the famous founding general of the Western Han Dynasty. He was even better than his father. He was not only a famous general, but also became the prime minister. He served in both Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Among the sixty-four generals awarded in the Tang Dynasty, "Taiwei Jianghou Zhou Yafu" was included.

The Song Dynasty followed the practice of the Tang Dynasty in setting up temples for ancient famous generals, and Zhou Yafu was also among the 72 famous generals.

Zhou Yafu was known for being good at running and leading troops, and for being outspoken and holding the witness. His outstanding military talents were most vividly demonstrated in the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

In the third year of Emperor Jing's reign in the Han Dynasty, King Wu Liu Bi joined forces with Chu King Liu Wu, Jiaoxi King Liu Xian and other seven countries to launch a rebellion under the banner of "Execute Chao Cuo and clear the emperor's side".

At that time, there were 500,000 troops in the seven kingdoms, and only 100,000 troops in the Han Dynasty. For a time, the whole court was shaken and people were panicked.

Zhou Yafu was ordered to lead the Han army to fight against the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms. Against all opinions, he sent 3,000 troops to attack the enemy's grain roads and seize all their food and grass. The Seven Kingdoms were defeated without a fight, and the allied forces lost their ability to return to their fiefdoms. The chaos subsided.

From the beginning to the end of the war, it took Zhou Yafu only three months to completely pacify the rebels of the seven countries and save the Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yafu made great achievements in Sheji, but in the end he was unjustly imprisoned and committed suicide.

“Speed ​​up, as long as we pass here, we will catch up with Li Jing soon.” Zhou Yafu waved his riding whip and shouted.

  【Ding dong, Zhou Yafu's skill ‘Strengthening Army’ is activated. 】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　：intended to show off one's strength with a strong voice, to strengthen the power of our army. (Different people have different effects.)

 Effect 1: When commanding cavalry, the commander gets +2 and the marching speed increases significantly.

 Effect 2: When leading the infantry, the commander will gain +3, and the morale of the whole army will be partially increased.

 Effect 3: When personally participating in the battle, the force will be +3, and the morale of the whole army will be greatly improved. 】

【Ding dong, Zhou Yafu's skill 'Strengthening Army' effect 1 is activated. When commanding cavalry, command +2, and the marching speed increases significantly.

 Zhou Yafu's commander is 96. The current commander has increased to 98, and the marching speed of the entire army has increased significantly. ]    Under the command of Zhou Yafu, the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty galloped all the way. The strange thing is that they were marching against the wind, but their speed was three minutes faster than the fastest.

“Report...to the general, a large number of Qin cavalry were found ahead.”

 “Sure enough, it’s here.”

Zhou Yafu sneered, and then asked: "How many people are here?"

 “About five thousand riders.”

Although Li Jing sent Jintai back to Beihai the night before, this was a secret operation and Wang Mang was completely unaware of it. Therefore, as far as the Northern Han generals knew, Li Jing still had five thousand cavalry.

Li Jing knew this, so he asked Ran Min to use three thousand tigers to camp and pretend to be five thousand cavalry, in order to confuse Zhou Yafu and increase his momentum.

If facing the main force of the Qin army, even if Zhou Yafu's side is full of cavalry, they still need to avoid the sharp edge.

But if there were only Qin cavalry, and their strength was only half of their own, then the Northern Han cavalry would naturally not be able to retreat. After all, it would be easier to intercept the main force of the Qin army if the Qin cavalry was eliminated.

After hearing the soldiers' report, Zhou Yafu said decisively: "Our army now has Liaodong cavalry and Youzhou cavalry, and their strength is twice that of the Qin army. However, the Qin army's cavalry is better equipped and well-trained, so it is not appropriate to Head-to-head.

General Gongsun Shu, you lead the 5,000 Liaodong cavalry to engage the Qin army head-on. I will lead the 5,000 Youzhou cavalry to detour to the rear and launch a surprise attack on the Qin army, attacking from both sides to annihilate the cavalry. "

Although Gongsun Shu was a little reluctant, he did not refuse and said solemnly: "No."

Zhou Yafu nodded and said: "Two generals, Tantaiyu and Juwuba, you will also act together with General Gongsun."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

On the side of the Qin army, on a hillside, Qin Ming saw that the enemy army was divided into two, and he immediately said excitedly: "As expected by the prefect, the enemy army has indeed divided its troops."

All the generals also showed excitement. After all, it was a good start, and if it was the same later, this mission would only be a near miss.

Although Ran Min had already made a plan in his heart to save the entire army even if he sacrificed Huben Camp, but Huben Camp was an army he personally trained after all. Since he could save Huben Camp, of course he also hoped to minimize the losses.

“Send the order and the whole army will retreat immediately and lead the Northern Han army away.” Ran Min ordered.

Zhou Yafu, on his side, saw that the Qin army ran away before the battle. He thought that the opponent's general had seen through his strategy and retreated in advance to prevent being attacked from two sides.

 “The whole army is chasing.” Zhou Yafu ordered.

The two separated Han armies reunited and pursued the Qin army in the direction of their escape.

Seeing that the Han army was catching up, Ran Min was overjoyed and shouted: "The whole army withdraws to the southwest, lure the Northern Han cavalry away, and stay as far away from the main army as possible."
