Chapter 145
: Defeat the boat
"Give up the horse and protect the car?"
Yuan Taizuo's pupils opened, and he turned his head and locked his eyes tightly on the faces of the tribal lords who were shouting that he wanted to abandon his troops and protect his carts.
This time, Yuan Taizuo led these 80,000 people to join the war, but came for the result of winning. Among the 80,000 people, 10,000 elite private soldiers of the tribe of the Yuan clan came. It can be said that these are all the elite forces of their Yuan clan in the northwest.
In addition, Fuyu City, Gaimu City, and Jinshan City, the three direct troops who had been in the long term brought another 30,000. Finally, when he was in Jinshan, he felt that this time he was here to grab military merits and divide the spoils, so he asked his uncle to transfer more than 10,000 young and Zhuang tribes and slaves from Jinshan, and transferred more than 10,000 people from the tribe that depended on him.
It can be said that this time, Yuan Taizuo mobilized the entire northwest region and the power of the Yuan clan. If this battle fails and the army is missing, then the Yuan clan will be over. The old man is now in the court for the great opposition. Seeing that the three years of this term are about to be over, if their power in the northwest is lost, there will definitely be many tribes that have been suppressed by them in the past. By then, they will not even have a bone left.
To abandon the horse and protect the cart, which one is the pawn here? Which one is the cart?
"Master, we are trapped in the Sui army now, and we must not be able to fight against the Sui people. And the longer the time is delayed, the more dangerous we will be. If one is not good, we will be lost here. Once the army is gone, how can we have a good result in the northwest? Master, break through. As long as we rush out, the city of Fuyu is strong and the walls are thick, we can still block the Sui people. At that time, when the Grand Duke Lu dispatches troops from the south to the north, everything will be fine."
"In your opinion, what kind of way is this to break through?" Yuan Taizuo did not express his attitude, but just said coldly, his tone was indescribable.
At this critical moment, those tribal lords who used to be afraid of the reputation of Yuan clan and the power of Yuan Taizuo did not care about so many. They hurriedly said, "The Grand Commander, the Sui people have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all elite soldiers and generals. In addition, most of our army are new soldiers such as slaves and are ambushed in this canyon. Now the morale of the army has been lost and it is difficult to hold on. In the small opinion, the Sui army in the east are all cavalry, the most fierce. But those cavalry are now all coming to our central army, relying on one go, and there are not many formations. The Sui people in the west are all infantry. Although the front army of General Yuan Jingtu broke through the Sui army's array, they have obviously fallen into the Sui army's calculations. Up to now, the five thousand cavalry of the front army have no combat power."
"For the sake of the present plan, General Yuyuan Pure Land should continue to drag the Sui army to the west, and then let the slaves and tribal young men of the central army resist the infantry of the Sui army. Are you still the most elite 5,000 White Horse Battalion by your side? At this time, General Yu ordered the five thousand cavalry who had not yet participated in the battle to attack from the rear of the central army, and guarded General Yu and us to rush straight to the exit of the canyon in the east. I believe that with the assault of the most elite White Horse Battalion, we will definitely be able to rush out of the canyon. As long as we leave the canyon, the Sui army wants to trap us again, how can we still have a chance?"
Yuan Taizuo was silent there, without saying a word, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip out of water. None of the five thousand cavalry in the White Horse Camp did not participate in the battle, and the five thousand men were resting. This was his reserve team, which was reserved for use at the critical moment.
Now he was plotted by the tribal lords to cover the troops who broke through the siege. He felt angry. Although the battle situation was now unsuccessful, it was not as good as losing. The front army fought for so long, although it was useless, but it was equivalent to dragging down the more than 10,000 troops in the west of the Sui army. Although the formation had been broken in the east, it had only lost command. The Sui people had not yet had time to divide and annihilate the ten thousand troops. The power was still there, and he had sent his uncle to reorganize the troops.
Everything is at the center of the army now. As long as he can stabilize the army, he has hope. He has already seen that except for a few soldiers and horses in the Sui army, it is not as those lords said that the 100,000 strong soldiers and horses were strong. The Sui people are fighting so fiercely now, because they took the lead and attacked their ambush. Secondly, the Sui people have the support of thousands of catapults and crossbow beds on the two sides of the mountain.
However, the battle lasted for several hours. Although the catapults and crossbow beds caused huge damage to them, he had already seen that the attacks of the catapults and crossbow beds of the Sui people were getting slower and slower, and had changed from waves of cover attacks to scattered attacks. The crossbow arrows and stone bombs of the Sui army's equipment were insufficient.
"It's too early to say defeat now. After the Sui army fought for so long, their advantage in ambushing is no longer obvious. The morale of both sides is not high, and everyone is equally tired. I am traversing the northwest and I have never seen any kind of battle formation. At this time, there is only a small setback. How can I take the initiative to admit defeat? Yuan Daqi, I am ordered to lead the 1,000 guards of Benben to pounce on it. No need to worry about the other Sui people. You are specifically responsible for attacking the infantry holding big swords under half of the flag. Their big swords are sharp. You three are besieging the infantry for a group. Remember, those people are the arrows of the Sui army at present. As long as we stop this big sword infantry, our formation will be stabilized."
Yuan Taizuo could not take the initiative to give up at this time. As those lords said, the front army of his younger brother Yuan Pure Land, his uncle Yuan Gai Tong's rear army, his Yuan clan members, and his elite troops from various cities under his command would be lost in one day. Even if he ran back to Fuyu City, what would happen if there were only a few thousand cavalry left in the White Horse Camp?
This loss is too great that he cannot accept it.
"Master, but..."
Yuan Taizuo stretched out his hand and shouted angrily, "I am the commander of the army. At this time, the battle is only halfway through, and you all shouted defeated one by one. This is outrageous! The previous words of the generals are no longer concerned, but now the generals have made a decision. The soldiers of the three armies work together to defeat the Sui army and defeat the Sui army. Anyone who dares to say defeat and persuade the generals to abandon the army will be punished as a crime of shaking the morale of the army and will be killed without mercy!"
When everyone saw Yuan Taizuo's tough attitude, no one dared to break through again.
Fuyu City spoke to Lu Guanyuan Ziwen, "Master, the Grand Marshal has been arranged on both sides. But the new force of the Sui people's Beiling has been dispatched. How should we deal with it?"
The central army's defense line was already shaky. If the Sui army in the north joined the battle formation, they would definitely collapse.
"Do you think that the Sui general knows to have enough strength. Don't I know how to keep the backup? The most elite cavalry of the 5,000 White Horse Camp has been raising energy for a long time, and it's time to wait for this time. Since the Sui army no longer has the backup, the entire army will be dispatched. Then why should I keep the backup? I passed the command of the commander, the white horse cavalry divided into three groups, and two thousand people gathered together with the troops gathered again in the rear army to fight against the Sui cavalry. The remaining two thousand cavalry will give me the commander the troops coming from the north of the Sui army. The remaining one thousand cavalry, as well as the elite guards of the lords and the city lords, all of them will attack the Sui infantry in the front."
When the lords and city lords heard that Yuan Taizuo actually asked them to follow the battle, and they all changed their faces. If they win the battle and charge, it would be nothing. Now they are going back and forth, and they are completely fighting. At this time, they don’t think it’s a good idea.
"Master, you should leave this kind of charge to the generals who lead the troops. You are the commander of the army, so you should be dispatched here. How can you take a risky place?"
Yuan Taizuo looked at the army that was constantly fighting in front of him and said softly, "At this critical moment, how could I sit here wither? I have been observing the enemy's formation for a long time and found that the biggest flaw of the entire Sui army is actually the army. There are the most people here, but except for the infantrymen holding big swords, most of the remaining ones can be seen at a glance that they are not veterans fighting for a long time. Seeing their charge and fighting, this must be the new recruits in the Sui army."
"The current situation is for the enemy and me, and the winner is hanging on the front line. Whoever can break the opponent's formation first will win. Time is very precious to us. Because we are from afar, the Sui people are ambushing here. The longer the time delays, the more tired our soldiers will be. We must seize the time and fully attack the weakness of the Sui army. As long as we can open a gap, then victory belongs to us!"
"Either they defeated first, or we defeated first. Until now, there is no other result. All the lords, city lords, generals, and I promise that after defeating the Sui army, all the spoils will be divided equally according to the tribal mountain city! Brothers, now, charge!"
Yuan Taizuo turned over and rode the war horse led by his personal guard. The war horse was not in any way, and his whole body was snow-white. Behind him, there were five thousand cavalry, all of whom were selected from thousands of miles away. The elite knights and the war horses under him were all selected from snow-white horses.
"Get your handsome wolf-tooth stick!"
Yuan Taizuo was on the horse and had superb martial arts skills. Unlike generals in the army who liked to use precious horse spears, he only liked the heavy golden steel wolf teeth stick. Every time he used it, the heavy golden steel wolf teeth stick with an inverted hook hit the enemy's head, which could always break the enemy's brain. Not only could it kill the enemy, but the fierce way of killing the enemy can also intimidate the enemy.
The dark clouds in the sky became even darker, and the wind began to blew up on the battlefield, gusts of wind blew, rolling up the leaves and dust in the sky.
