Chapter 643 Training
Although Yunzheng and the others wanted to launch a massive attack, their advance was not very fast.
What they are doing now is that the army is advancing steadily.
The war horses of the royal weapon department have been put behind.
Now, the royal troops have once again become infantry.
At first, neither Wang Qi nor Qu Zhi understood the meaning of Yun Zheng's actions. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that Yun Zheng was going to follow through on his bluff.
Yesterday they were led by nine thousand cavalry.
Today, it became 5,000 infantry advancing forward, 4,000 cavalry covering the left wing, and the right wing being completely released.
In this way, the enemy would naturally think that they still had 5,000 cavalry in the rear or hiding.
Just as the army was advancing steadily, Yunzheng received the news brought back by the scouts.
A large group of enemy cavalry was approaching them. It was roughly estimated that there should be a team of two thousand people.
The distance between the two sides is less than twenty miles.
"Keep exploring!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand to signal the scouts to retreat, then turned to look at Wang Qi, "What do you think?"
Wang Qi replied calmly: "In my opinion, the enemy is just testing and will not actually launch an attack."
Yunzheng nodded and smiled, and asked: "If the enemy goes against the grain and directly launches a surprise attack on our troops, what do you think we should do?"
Wang Qi had already thought about this issue last night.
Facing Yunzheng's examination, Wang Qi raised his eyes, looked around, and immediately pointed to the hillside not far away and replied: "Our troops are defending in a half-moon formation over there, and Qu Zhi's cavalry retreats to the rear of our troops. , If you can find a hiding place, try to hide it. If you can't find it, fight and retreat behind our troops..."
Listening to Wang Qi's countermeasures, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Not bad!
It's quite thoughtful.
According to Wang Qi's method, even if the enemy cannot be defeated, there should be no problem in containing the enemy for a few days.
As long as they can contain the enemy for a few days, Yu Shizhong and Jiayao should be able to defeat the enemy's other army.
After giving Wang Qi an approving look, Yun Zheng immediately ordered: "Wang Qi, I order you to immediately lead your troops to defend on the hillside in front! Order Yi Zhi, immediately launch an attack on the enemy, and make a posture to lure the enemy deeper..."
After Yunzheng made the arrangements, Wang Qi and Qu Zhi took action quickly.
At the same time, Chi Yan, who was standing high and looking far away, also learned about the movements of the Beifu Army from the scouts.
"A few thousand people dare to launch a surprise attack on us?"
Chi Yan snorted coldly, anger welling up in his heart.
The enemy army was clearly a provocation to their 20,000 elite cavalry!
However, anger is anger, and Chi Yan will not lose his mind because of such a little thing.
The more provocative the enemy is, the more he has to remain calm.
Next to Chiyan, a bearded general looked disdainfully into the distance and reminded: "Your Highness, please calm down. The enemy is obviously trying to lure our troops into pursuing them!"
"I know!"
Chi Yan responded coldly, "Whether it is the enemy's cavalry or the stubborn infantry, they are all bait! The enemy did not set up defenses on the right wing before, and they are also setting a trap for us! As long as we press hard, the enemy will hide in Baitou Lin's army will be able to attack from the flanks and cut off our retreat..."
Chiyan's face was extremely disdainful, as if he had seen through everything.
This Yunzheng is indeed as cunning as the legend.
Now, although they have an army of 60,000, they only have more than 20,000 cavalry.
If the 20,000 cavalrymen he led were eaten, the enemy troops would be able to come and go freely, pursue them all the way, and eat up all the remaining men and horses bit by bit!
He won't give the enemy this chance!
"Your Highness is wise!"
The general quickly flattered him and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Use the trick first!"
Chiyan said confidently: "Immediately lead 10,000 horses to the enemy's right wing and make a move to outflank the enemy's forward troops. I will personally lead another 10,000 horses to attack the enemy's cavalry. If the enemy is The army is fighting and retreating, trying to lure us deeper, which proves that our judgment is correct..."
The enemy's vanguard consisted of only a few thousand cavalry.
If the enemy dares to attack under such circumstances and is not afraid of being outflanked by them, then it must be that they are confident!
They don't need to tangle too much with the enemy.
Their fundamental purpose is to test the enemy's strength!
"Yes!"
Soon, Guifang's 20,000 cavalry took action according to Chiyan's plan.
Facing the menacing enemy army, Qu Zhi was still a little stressed.
After all, they only have four thousand riders!
Before the war officially begins, all judgments are predictions.
No one is sure whether the enemy will turn out as they expected.
If the enemy's general has no strings on his head, he will simply attack them stupidly. Once the enemy sends a large army to outflank them, they will be surrounded by the enemy.
Even if they could break out, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
However, they are now ready to do so.
We must attack!
Otherwise, the enemy is likely to see through their true purpose!
Just when Qu Zhi was about to issue the order to attack, Yun Zheng's personal guards galloped over.
Qu Zhi quickly stopped and asked hastily: "Does His Highness have any new orders?"
"no!"
The Guards shook his head, "His Highness just sent me to check on the situation."
Just checking in?
Qu Zhi frowned, as if he didn't believe what the guards said.
The two armies were about to go to war, and His Highness suddenly sent a personal guard. How could he just come to the front to see the situation?
However, the enemy troops were very close now, and Qu Zhi had no time to inquire further.
After Qu Zhi took a deep breath, he immediately issued an order: "The entire army will attack our right wing!"
A surprise attack to the right?
After hearing Qu Zhi's order, the deputy general's expression suddenly changed, "General, if we attack on the right wing, our attack distance will be further, so it will be easier for us to be outflanked by the enemy!"
"We must attack to the right!"
Qu Zhi said categorically: "Our right wing is Baitou Forest. If the enemy fights to the end, we can only rush to Baitou Forest to avoid being surrounded by the enemy! If the enemy is afraid of being attacked from both sides by us and the ambush of Baitou Forest, they will probably attack retreat!"
Although Yunzheng asked him to fight and retreat to lure the enemy deeper, the situation is different now.
They want to fight and retreat at the same time, but they have to see if they can retreat!
If you can't retreat, it's not much different from dying!
Moreover, his arrangement did not conflict with the entire strategy, and Yun Zheng did not order him to attack in any direction of the enemy.
He was not disobedient at all.
The guard looked at Qu Zhi with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "General Qu, I will go back and report to His Highness first!"
Before Qu Zhi could speak, the guards quickly rode away.
Looking at the guards who came and left inexplicably, Qu Zhi showed a hint of understanding on his face.
He got it!
This personal guard originally came with His Highness's orders.
His Highness’s intention must be to attack on the right wing!
If he had not attacked on the right wing, the Guards would have conveyed His Highness's order to him.
Now that he has decided to attack on the right wing, the Guards naturally no longer need to convey orders.
To put it bluntly, Yunzheng is still training him!
Since Yun Zheng also meant this, Qu Zhi didn't have any scruples at the moment, and immediately shouted murderously: "Send the order, the entire army will launch a surprise attack on the right wing! Kill!"
