Chapter 37 (1/2)
”Report to the military division that there has been a large-scale military mobilization in the army!” Not long after Zhang Longyun's order was issued, the assembly of the three armies of the Universiade immediately attracted the attention of the Xiqi scout, who quickly passed the news to the Xiqi military division.
”As the military division expected, there was a conspiracy for the Ares army to leave the city.”
”Is it that the Ares army is a bait to attract our five group armies to encircle them, and then the Universiade army will form a larger encirclement outside and finally eat us at one stroke?”
”Should we immediately withdraw the two groups that attacked the Dayun Feiwei army in case of fraud?”
……
In the face of the latest intelligence, Xiqi military division looked at the sand table and did not speak. The public discussed for a while. Finally, there was no voice. They looked at Xiqi military division one after another.
”Where are the 60000 cavalry of Ares coming out of Tianyuan city?” For a long time, Xiqi military division came up with a word.
”Report to the military division that they are out of the periphery of Tianyuan City, and they are 80 miles north of our camp.” Someone said immediately.
”That's the problem.” Xiqi military division pointed to the sand table, ”you see, if the purpose of the 60000 cavalry of the God of war army in Tianyuan city is to attract our group army to encircle them, that is to say, the enemy has seen that we want to lead them out to annihilate them, but they still come out. This is their trick, then the 60000 ares cavalry should not stay in our camp To the north, we should stay in the south. In this way, we can best cooperate with the anti encirclement of the Universiade army. However, the 60000 people of the Ares army just stayed in the north, which I can't understand. It seems that their purpose is not to attract us as bait, and then let the other armies of the army carry out anti encirclement on us
As soon as Xiqi's words came out, they were cold. Indeed, if the 60000 ares want to be bait, they shouldn't be in the north.
Soon someone said, ”military division, we should cut off the back of the 60000 cavalry of Ares first, so that they will not have the opportunity to go back. Then force them two times to see how they react
”Yes, commander, since 60000 of the Ares army have come out, they must not be allowed to go back.”
”Well, this can be implemented. Let the two armies block their way back to Tianyuan city.” Xiqi Army division nodded.
”Commander, the Xiqi army has sent two troops to block our way back to Tianyuan city.” The action of Xiqi army did not escape the Scouts of Ares army.
”This is what I expected.” Zhou Han said lightly, ”the whole army will have a good rest this evening, and tomorrow we will march in a hurry, which will give the Xiqi army the false impression that we want to recruit from the bottom of the country and fight against his grain and forage camp.”
”Commander, the food and forage camp of the Xiqi army is more than 100 li away from the ancient Yuanfeng peak. Our long-distance attack must be stopped by the Xiqi army. Once we are entangled by them, we may be surrounded by heavy troops.” Cao Xiqi said.
”I don't worry about that. We are light cavalry. We can move quickly and do not give the Xiqi army any chance to contact.” Zhou Han said.
”That's why you unloaded the heavy cavalry.” Cao Xiqi is suddenly enlightened.
”Naturally, although the heavy cavalry have a strong ability to attack, they are too heavy and have poor mobility. So I removed their heavy cavalry equipment and increased their speed.” Zhou Han nodded his head.
”Commander, I'm really curious. The ancient Yuanfeng has no land to use and no water source. We can attract Xiqi heavy troops there. I have no second possibility except thinking about the result of our being surrounded by them. What kind of calculation do you have in mind? Can you let me know in advance?” Cao Xiqi couldn't help but ask again.
”Then you will know.” Zhou Han said.
”Well, I hope I can open my eyes then.” Cao Xiqi had to suppress the doubts in his heart again and said helplessly.
On the second day, the firehead army cooked at the third watch of the day, and at the fifth, the light cavalry of the 60000 ares army immediately marched toward manxucheng, the new food and forage camp of Xiqi army.
”Military division, military division, military division, no good. The scouts have just heard that the cavalry of the Ares army, 80 miles north of us, suddenly moved in the morning.” Someone immediately came to report to Xiqi military division.
”Where did they move?” Xiqi asked.
”To our manxucheng, they are very fast, I'm afraid they can be under the city in half a day.” Said the bearer.
