Chapter 51

Zhu Wushi couldn't hold back the blood in the end, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he had nothing to do with Night Breeze.

The current situation is that Night Breeze and the others cannot attack because there are few people.

Zhu ignored it and couldn't attack, because the terrain advantage was on Night Breeze's side, and they couldn't spread out with too many people, so they continued to attack and suffered losses in vain.

Now who is the fool.

Zhu ignored seeing that Night Breeze had arranged to evacuate, but he didn't want to let it go, and wanted to continue to arrange for people to attack.

Liu Bowen had no choice but to step forward and comforted him: "King Qi, retreat, further attacks will only increase casualties."

"Okay!" Zhu Wushi sighed heavily, which he swallowed forcefully after all.

As far as Liu Bowen was concerned, it was also his worst defeat since he joined the army. Seeing that more than 30,000 people were eaten, he was helpless. What he can do now is to minimize losses.

He naturally knew where the problem was.

The spies made it clear that there was no ambush on the mountain, but who were Ye Feng and the others?

There are a thousand people hiding in this mountain. The target is not big, but it is definitely not a small number. After careful inspection, we can still find some clues. The problem lies in the way these people deal with it.

But as the commander, he didn't take into account the slackness of the spies in a long-term safe state, which was also a mistake.

Although a wise man is sure to make mistakes, such mistakes cannot be tolerated.

Now that things have happened, it is useless to think too much. We can only learn this lesson, behead these spies, replace them with new spies, and then detour.

This canyon can no longer be walked. Although people can climb over this roadblock, things such as food, grass and siege weapons cannot pass.

Due to various reasons, the two teams that had fought to the death before retreated separately without interfering with each other.

After returning to the camp, Night Breeze gathered with the group of people again after a simple dinner.

"The enemy has already bypassed Lijiao Mountain, and at their marching speed, it will take about a day and a half to reach us. Tell me, what should we do next?" Night Breeze opened the conversation first.

A group of people gathered together, looked at the map, and found nothing that could be used, and no one spoke.

"Since everyone has no idea, let me analyze the current situation first." Xu Maogong stood up.

"First of all, it's the enemy's. Before this battle, the enemy's strength was more than 180,000. Today we took action to annihilate and capture close to 36,000. The other party paid nearly 5,000 for rescue, and buried them in the mountain. The filling is almost the same, and the total damage of the enemy today is more than 41,000, that is to say, they still have more than 140,000. Among the 140,000 people, there are 13,000 cavalry, 30,000 archers, and the rest Pure infantry."

"As for our army, today the total loss on both sides is less than 5,000, but there are still more than 43,000 combat troops, more than 29,000 infantry and archers, more than 7,000 prince's personal soldiers, and formal cavalry. More than six thousand."

"Have you discovered that we have an advantage?" Xu Maogong asked.

"Advantage?" Everyone was at a loss.

There are more than 140,000 enemies, and only 40,000 on our own side. There is no advantage at all in a head-on confrontation.

Night Breeze was not in a hurry to veto, but was thinking.

"Horse!" Li Xun said a word.

Others are still thinking.

Night Breeze and Li Shimin's eyes lit up first.

Seeing that Li Shimin also reacted, Night Breeze motioned for him to speak.

"Our advantage is that we have more horses than the opponent. More horses means more cavalry. We have nearly 30,000 horses. As long as we equip the remaining horses to the soldiers, there will be nearly 30,000 cavalry, while the enemy has only 30,000 cavalry. More than 10,000 cavalry, this is where our real advantage lies."

Night Breeze continued: "The cavalry is a fast and mobile unit. The enemy's troops come to us mostly on flat terrain, and there are not many that can be used to intercept them, but this just gives the cavalry room to display their strength."

"The eldest son's personal soldiers can be used as cavalry, but there are only more than 13,000. What about the remaining 10,000? Even if some infantry have been trained on horseback, we can't get together the remaining 10,000 cavalry. "Wang Chongyang said the crux of the problem.

Hearing this, Night Breeze also realized that it was necessary to expand his military training philosophy, otherwise he wouldn't be in the embarrassment of having horses but no cavalry like he is now.

As a cavalryman, it is not enough to just know how to ride a horse, but also needs the ability to assassinate immediately.

And Night Breeze's training philosophy included immediate combat.

His idea is the modern idea of ​​omnipotence. Soldiers take out their bows and arrows to become archers, and they can be used as cavalry when mounted on horses. Because of omnipotence, their physical fitness is naturally stronger than the current elite soldiers. Without horses, they are a top elite infantry. .

Only such soldiers can deal with all kinds of wars.

Xu Maogong said: "Xue Rengui still has 8,000 cavalry soldiers. He has some foundation earlier and these days of intensive training. Even if he can't compare with the elite, he is much better than ordinary infantry on horseback. Anyway, we just happen to escort the prisoners. By the way, the horses Take it with you, pack lightly and set off overnight, and you should be back early tomorrow morning."

Night Breeze added: "The army should also choose to see which infantry or archers have reached the standard in riding, and finally see how many can be achieved."

"Okay!" Everyone exited the Night Breeze tent in response and began to choose.

Not to mention, this selection really selected more than 2,000 people out of nearly 30,000 people. These people are all horse riding enthusiasts. They have practiced in private, and their riding skills are not much worse than regular cavalry. The only difference is the ability to assassinate immediately.

After completing these, all the people also entered the rest.

After winning the battle, when you are in a good mood, it is also the time when you are most likely to relax. Night Breeze doesn't want to let the enemy take advantage of his loopholes.

The normal march of the two armies takes a day and a half, but it is very fast for the cavalry.

After having the other generals check it out, Night Breeze went to check it out himself, and then went to rest.

However, Night Breeze had only rested until midnight when he was woken up.

"Prince, enemy attack!"

With the sound, Night Breeze immediately got up and walked out of the tent with the Dragon Soul Saber.

But what he saw was not the enemy, but the fire.

Night Breeze is now stationed here in a forest, which can prevent sudden cavalry attacks and is not easy to be discovered, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, once the enemy finds out, it will be more troublesome to set fire.

Fortunately, there are enough inspections, and the fire is still far away from here.

Even so, the soldiers were a little flustered when they saw the camp surrounded by fire.

"Kirin."

Night Breeze shouted loudly, and Huo Qilin suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Dear master, what are your orders?" Qilin asked playfully. This fire is scary for others, but she likes it very much.

"Can't you absorb the fire element into your body? Absorb the fire element from one direction and make a way," Night Breeze ordered.

"Obey, my master." Qilin immediately jumped out and entered the fire field on the left side of the camp.

The fire element over there immediately seemed to be attracted, and gathered in the body of the fire unicorn, the fire element disappeared, and the temperature dropped sharply. Those big trees that were originally burning were quickly covered with a layer of frost.

Qilin walked all the way, and the fire elements within three meters of his body disappeared at a very fast speed, and could no longer burn.

The others were not idle either, as soon as Baili Que's Fengshennu was used, the ground was blown up, and after more than ten seconds, the big tree was blown away by its roots, opening a five-meter-wide passage.

Xie Xiaofeng's "Burning Heaven and Earth" is performed, the demigod domain is unfolded, and three or four rows of trees in front of them are cut neatly.

Wang Chongyang, with the defensive cover of the innate stellar energy, plunged into the woods and directly used the stellar energy to shoot the trees all the way, and also ejected three to five meters wide.

When they were done, Qilin ran back and forth two more times.

At this time, the fire-free passage was already twenty meters away.

"Everyone, don't panic! There is a way out on the left, and there is plenty of time. Everyone, quickly pack up your bags and put on your armor. Let the infantry go first, the cavalry behind, and those who disobey the order!" Night Breeze's loud voice spread out mixed with internal force.

Seeing such a wide way out and Night Breeze's order, the army immediately calmed down and quickly began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

And Night Breeze who came out saw Zhu Wushi who was rushing here with the cavalry for the first time.

For this night attack, Liu Bowen objected, but Zhu Wushi, who had suffered a great loss, couldn't swallow it.

In the end, Liu Bowen could only offer a plan, asking him to attack with fire as much as possible, and if the fire attack didn't work, he would just evacuate.
