Chapter 235
Chapter 235
When the cavalry led by Liu Yao surged to the land where horse bandits once wreaked havoc, only a few dozen horse bandits remained on the battlefield. Their figures stretched out in the sunset, looking particularly desolate and powerless.
Upon hearing that Zhang Liao had captured the bandit leader, Liu Yao's eyes flashed with admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wenyuan is really a tiger general, brave and unparalleled, and it is really a blessing for our army!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liao's heart surged with indescribable joy and pride, but he still remained humble. He stroked the warhorse under his crotch, brought the middle-aged bandit leader to Liu Yao, nodded slightly and said: "My lord, you are too kind. This is the result of the concerted efforts of all the soldiers in the army. Liao just followed the trend and fortunately did not fail his mission."
However, in the afterglow of this victory, an untimely roar broke the silence.
The bandit leader, who was pinned to the ground, roared out in fluent Chinese, mixed with endless anger and unwillingness.
"Han dog! If you have the guts, just kill me with a knife, why humiliate me like this!"
This scene made the air around him seem to freeze a little.
The soldiers of Bingzhou around him all looked surprised. They had never expected that this kid could speak Chinese. This person must be someone extraordinary.
Liu Yao waved his hand.
"Hehe, let Wang Yue escort him away and take good care of him. Don't hurt his life. Maybe, from him, we can dig out some valuable information for us."
"My lord, as for the remaining bandit captives..."
Huang Xu made a gesture of wiping his neck at the right time, with a look of determination in his eyes.
Liu Yao nodded slightly, with a flash of determination in his eyes.
"You can handle it yourself, but make sure it does not affect the speed of our army. Start replenishing food and supplies immediately, and set off immediately after replenishing the supplies!"
As the night fell, the army quietly set up camp on the vast Gobi Desert. The stars dotted the sky, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to this desolate land.
Soon, Wang Yue's figure shuttled through the night. His steps were steady and heavy. The blood stains on his clothes inadvertently glowed under the weak firelight. He walked straight into the big tent.
"My lord, after some interrogation and verification, the identity of this thief has been confirmed.
This man is one of the generals around Meng Chuge, and his mother is Han Chinese."
"This kid has been stationed in the royal court before. This time he can return to his tribe just to prepare a gift for Meng Chuge's 50th birthday."
Tian Feng narrowed his eyes immediately.
"Hehe, the bandit leader's birthday, this is a good opportunity!"
"My Lord, if we can take advantage of their birthday celebration to launch a thunderbolt attack, all their high-ranking officials will be caught in one fell swoop!"
Liu Yao turned his head and looked at Wang Yue.
"Do you know the location of Wang Ting?"
Wang Yue stretched out his hand and directly marked the location of Wang Ting.
Zhang Liao looked at the map and rubbed his chin.
"Well, the location is indeed a bit remote, but since we already know the exact location, we can prepare to lead the army to attack."
"In that case, Zhang Liao, Gongsun Xu! You continue to lead the front army and set off immediately to Wang Ting! Others march according to the previous plan!"
"I obey your orders!"
Liu Yao looked at everyone.
"Everyone, as the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Let's also give Meng Chug a great gift!"
"Send troops to the royal court!"
...
On the third day, everyone followed the instructions of the map. As they approached the royal court, the number of horse bandits on the road increased.
It was too difficult for a force of tens of thousands of people to hide their whereabouts in the vast Gobi Desert with yellow sand all over the sky.
Soon their whereabouts were exposed.
A scout, covered in dust, galloped over, with a bit of urgency in his voice.
"Report - Lord! Behind our army, dark clouds are pressing down, about 30,000 horse bandits are swarming in, and their momentum is getting stronger and stronger!"
Ju Su narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He pondered for a moment, and his tone revealed an unquestionable determination:
"Lord, if these horse bandits are allowed to gather together, they will become a big problem. We need to make a decision quickly and not give them any chance to gather. They dare not attack now because they are too few in number, so they dare only follow behind."
Zhao Yun shook his head gently on the side, revealing a trace of solemnity between his brows.
"The team of elite cavalry I just sent out has been like a sharp sword out of its sheath, trying to find out the enemy's situation. However, the other side seems to have been prepared. When they saw the main force of our army approaching, they retreated hurriedly like a frightened bird, and at the same time continued to use arrow rain to cover themselves."
Tian Feng heard this and spoke slowly, with both disdain for the enemy and confidence in defeating the enemy in his tone.
"Although the enemy is cunning, it can't escape our wisdom. They have Zhang Liang's wisdom, but I have my own way to defeat the enemy. "
"I suggest that our army be divided into three routes!"
"The first route slows down and continues to advance. The second route will make a roundabout attack on this cavalry, but it must not quickly resolve the battle!"
"The third route will stay at the outermost perimeter to encircle and attack the reinforcements. Once the enemy reinforcements come, eat them immediately!"
"Our army is all cavalry, so we should conduct mobile warfare and maximize our cavalry advantage!"
Liu Yao immediately assigned the combat tasks.
"I will continue to lead the black armor cavalry to move forward. Those horse bandits must recognize my big flag. Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, you lead your troops to conduct roundabout operations."
"Zhang Liao, Gongsun Xu, stay at the periphery and eat all the horse bandits who come to reinforce!"
"Yes! "
The generals responded in unison, their voices shook the sky.
As the order was issued, the army began to move in an orderly manner like a giant beast endowed with souls.
The black armor cavalry, led by Liu Yao, began to slow down and move forward.
Zhao Yun and Huang Xu's troops cleverly used the terrain and directly divided their troops to start their roundabout journey.
And Zhang Liao and Gongsun Xu ran the farthest, firmly guarding the outermost perimeter, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
The horse bandits following the Bingzhou army saw this group of people start to divide their troops without knowing whether to live or die, and the whole army began to get excited.
In their eyes, the Han people were just small mobile treasuries. Their armor and horses were all top-notch. If they could really get a set back, they could live a comfortable life for several years.
In the horse bandit camp, a burly general walked in quickly.
"Chief Ma Han! The Han army began to divide its troops. It seems that they should go to find rescue. Now the army in front of us is! The Han champion marquis! The troops led by Liu Yao himself! There are only about 10,000 people. "
Ma Han jumped up from his seat.
"Liu Yao is alone! ? "
