Chapter 811: Flying The Battle Flag
It can be said that it is the most considerate in history.
voted for an out and out.
On the second day, while the army was cooking, Xiao Ye, Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue led a group of shadow guards to drive away from the camp, and came to a place where they could see the Wanyan camp with binoculars.
Xu Qing, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ruxue looked at the prairie army with binoculars, and the prairie army also raised smoke, obviously they were also cooking.
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and asked: "Brother Xu, do you think what Wanyan Chong said last night is true?"
Wanyan Chong is the name of the third prince.
Xu Qing said; "It stands to reason that his life is in our hands, so there is no need to lie, but it is better to be cautious."
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue, who had been silent all this time, said, "Xu Qing, Xiao Ye! I have observed it, and the information provided by Wanyan Chong should be true."
Xu Qing was surprised: "Xue'er, did you find anything?"
Xiao Ye also turned his head to look at Xiao Ruxue.
Xiao Ruxue said: "In the Central Plains, five people set up a team leader, and ten people set up a fire to set up a fire leader. It is most reasonable for ten people to eat around a pot, but there is too much cooking smoke in the grassland, and the grassland is no better than our Central Plains. However, the supply of ironware and fuel is not as good as ours in the Central Plains, and they usually eat in a pot in rotation. Look at this grassland army, how could they be richer than our Central Plains, and the smoke rising from their kitchens is even more than our camps in the Central Plains! "
When Xiao Ye heard this, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that they wanted to make more cooking smoke to increase their momentum, but based on their current number of troops and tents, it is impossible to need so many pots and stoves."
Xiao Ye said: "In this case, we will pull out this fake camp! Then we will find the main force of the grassland for a decisive battle!"
Xu Qing said: "Brother Xiao, have you forgotten? There are so many traps and traps in the entire camp, and the number of traps is ridiculous. There are only 1,500 people in the area. We dare not take such a big risk to attack a fake camp." ?"
Xiao Ye asked: "Then what shall we do?"
Xu Qing said: "We've been looking for a decisive battle with the main force of the grassland. Why do we care about this fake camp? This is not necessary for the Central Plains to attack city by city. The grassland is open on all sides, and the wind is leaking from all sides. We just leave and it's over. Is it? In which direction to go is not to go."
Xiao Ye's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
At this moment, Xu Qing couldn't help but start worrying about Xiao Ye's IQ. Didn't the Xian Wang say that he is very smart on the battlefield and has a lot of tricks?
Looking at Xiao Ye now, Xu Qing didn't feel much difference from before.
The brain is not long at all.
...
If this is the main force of the prairie, there will be a decisive battle sooner or later. Even if they go around and attack the rear of Yanbu, the prairie army is full of cavalry and they will come after them if no one restrains them. What do they do?
If they are willing to stare at and feed the mosquitoes here, let's feed the mosquitoes slowly.
After resting for another day, the army set off and hurriedly marched towards the direction marked by the third prince and the fourth prince.
Since the third prince and the fourth prince can act as good guides, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye didn't let them enjoy the glory and wealth right now, so they still have to live a hard life for a few days.
Because the army of Zhou State was far away from the army of Chu State, Xiao Ye almost crossed half of the grassland under the guidance of the third prince before leading the army to approach the grassland army.
Fortunately, it only took a few days on the grassland. If it was in the Central Plains, the mountain roads are winding and winding, and it would take half a month to walk.
After Xiao Ye found this place, he still didn't see the main force of the grassland, but there were indeed traces of fierce fighting.
By identifying the traces left by the battle between the two armies, Xiao Ye could deduce that Zhou's cavalry must have been killed by the grassland when they advanced deep into the grassland and retreated steadily.
Zhou's cavalry dared to go so deep into the grassland because they believed that the grassland army was restrained by Chu, and their pressure would be very small.
But the fact is exactly the opposite. The main force of the grassland was aimed at Zhou State, and instead left a fake camp for Chu State.
The cavalry of the state of Zhou who lost to the grassland naturally only had to retreat.
The Chu army searched along the traces for a long time before finally finding the main force of the grassland army.
At this time, the grassland army should have caught up with Zhou's cavalry again.
Xiao Ye rode on the horse and looked at the battlefield in the distance with binoculars. Zhou Guo's cavalry was almost crushed and beaten by the grassland cavalry.
If Xiao Ye continued to be nailed to the side of the fake camp, Zhou Guo's cavalry would probably be killed by the grassland.
Xiao Ye put down the binoculars, picked up the spear stuck on the ground and said, "The whole army is ready to fight!"
At this moment, the third prince Wanyan Chong who was beside Xiao Ye rode over and said, "Your Highness, don't worry."
Xiao Ye turned to look at the third prince and asked, "What else do you have to explain?"
Wan Yanchong said, "You see, the army in the grassland is about to completely wipe out Zhou's cavalry. After all Zhou's cavalry is wiped out, the loss in the grassland will definitely not be small. When the time comes, we will order a charge. Not only will the grassland After suffering a great loss, you can also use other people's hands to destroy Zhou's cavalry, which kills two birds with one stone."
When Xiao Ye heard Wan Yanchong's words, he snorted coldly and said, "Although Zhou State is another country, Zhou's army is also from our Central Plains! This prince will destroy them in an upright manner on the battlefield!"
...
on the battlefield
Of Zhou's 15,000 light cavalry, less than 6,000 were killed at this time, while the cavalry on the grassland was still in the dark, and it could be seen that the army on the grassland was still several times their size.
In the chaos, Song Ning rode a horse and wiped the blood from his face, came to Su Zhong who was riding a horse and said, "Marshal, there are too many troops in the grassland, we are surrounded, and when the time comes, order someone to tear a gap , the Marshal rushed out of the encirclement under the cover of his personal guards, there are still tens of thousands of elite infantry in the camp, as long as the Marshal arrives in the camp, he will be safe."
Su Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "15,000 cavalry are about to die at my hands. How can I, Su Zhong, have the face to go back to my hometown to meet His Majesty?"
Song Ning said loudly, "Marshal! Only when the Marshal returns to the camp can he avenge us!"
Just at the moment of desperation, a shocking cry of killing suddenly sounded in the distance, and a battle flag was suddenly erected on the empty hill in the distance, followed by ten, and then a hundred.
These battle flags were held high by the cavalry, condescending, and fluttering!
Moments later, groups of cavalrymen on horses galloped down from the hill with spears in hand, charging towards the army on the prairie.
