Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 183 The battlefield is cruel, the second battle of the champion! 【Ask monthly ticket】

In the flat, vast expanse of grassland.

The advantages of cavalry can be said to be unparalleled, and it is almost easy to form a terrifying combat effectiveness.

Especially if you are a prairie person yourself, you are very familiar with this environment, and your combat effectiveness will be even stronger.

But it is completely different for the army of the Great Wei. The army of the Great Wei is not as good as the prairie people in terms of personal quality and physique, unless they have practiced martial arts and made certain achievements.

Of course, the biggest difference is that the Wei army is better at similar battles like siege of cities and land.

Especially in bows and crossbows, it is unique in the world, as for iron cavalry.

Among the eastern countries, it can be regarded as second to none.

It's just compared with the grassland cavalry.

Still much worse.

Therefore, when the two sides are engaged in a war, the generals of Wei will take this into consideration and give full play to their strengths.

For example, stick to cities and checkpoints, and then use the advantages of bows and crossbows to fight against the grassland army.

As for taking the initiative to send troops to attack, that is when you have gained a great advantage.

Otherwise, it would not have done so.

But this time, under the leadership of Marquis Shenwu, the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at Beiguan in Dawei Town took the initiative to attack and directly started a battle with the main force of the grassland army.

Especially as soon as they fought, Da Wei showed his strongest strength, with the crossbowmen in front and the cavalry in the back.

Directly give people a posture of direct decisive battle.

See this for the main force of the grassland army.

It also suspended the previous idea of ​​​​dividing troops, and gathered all the troops together for the purpose of just responding to this war.

The reason why the prairie army was so serious was because they also got the news that this time it was Marquis Shenwu who personally led the army.

As their old opponent, the grassland side naturally knew how powerful Marquis Shenwu was.

Even if he took the initiative to attack, he abandoned Wei's own advantages.

But there is this person who leads the team himself.

So the grassland side must also be more serious.

The 22 army is twice as strong as that of Wei's side. Coupled with its own advantages, at the beginning of the war, the grassland army gained some advantages.

After all, on such a flat terrain, no matter how many strategies there are, it is difficult to display them.

But Shenwuhou, after all, has experienced many battles and is known as the No. 1 general of the Great Wei.

Even if it is weaker than the grassland army in an all-round way.

He was actually able to fight back and forth with the place.

His platooning of troops had little effect on the enemy's violent attacks again and again, and he was still unable to expand this advantage.

Under such circumstances, the grassland army has no other choice but to continue to organize and increase its strength, and continue to attack the camp of the Wei side. They know that Marquis Shenwu is best at turning disadvantages into advantages, especially in protracted battles. It is the first in the world, and no one can match it.

Therefore, the grassland army can only choose a quick battle to break through the camp of the Great Wei Zhenbeiguan army earlier.

Then divide and break each one, so that there is a possibility of winning.

Otherwise, wait until the army on your side is exhausted.

Marquis Shenwu can lead the army back to Zhenbei Pass, or organize his army to fight back.

Especially when Dawei took the initiative to fight on the grassland, this kind of situation is very rare, and they don't want to give up, every time the impact is more violent than the last time.

And because the prairie army is one generation larger, there is no need to worry about the consumption of troops.

On the contrary, Wei's personnel were not as good as they were, and as the number of troops began to decrease.

The advantage of the grassland side will become bigger and bigger.

"Master Hou."

At this moment, on the Wei side, the core area of ​​hundreds of thousands of troops.

A general came galloping on horseback, cupped his hands and said, "Report to Lord Marquis, we have suffered a huge blow to the southeast, and we have lost too many personnel, we need to replace them!"

Hearing this, Marquis Shenwu who was also riding on the horse did not hesitate, and directly ordered: "Then replace them, let those people retreat to the core area, and the wounded must be treated immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

After the general heard the order, he went directly to convey the order without any hesitation.

As for Marquis Shenwu, he was still in place, frowning.

Although he took the army to go out in person.

But because he was the commander in chief, he couldn't lead his troops to charge, and the purpose of this battle was to support the grassland army without dividing troops, so he could only choose to hold back those people. If he could inflict heavy damage on the opponent, that would be great.

It's a pity that the prairie army is very difficult to deal with. Even though strict formations have been carried out, the effect is still not very obvious.

Of course, this does not mean that Marquis Shenwu is incapable.

Just imagine.

On less than twice the strength of the enemy.

To be able to make it like this is already considered commendable.

After all, this is on the grassland, and we cannot take advantage of any terrain, so we can only use experience to fight against it.

But Marquis Shenwu still knew that if this situation continued, his side would lose sooner or later.

But this is nothing, the big deal is to return to Zhenbei Pass directly.

Now his main purpose.

It is to let the grassland army consume the opponent's troops without dividing their troops.In this way, even if the other party wants to divide their troops, it doesn't make much sense.

But doing so will undoubtedly cost many soldiers their lives
Therefore, Shen Wuhou was under a lot of pressure.

"Master Hou."

At this time, a lieutenant general next to him spoke up and said: "The grassland army seems to have strengthened its manpower again, and continued to attack the right wing of our army. Go north."

He also got the news, knowing that the pressure on his side is very high now, and the number of soldiers killed and injured is not much to fight for.

Although hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Zhenbei Pass have come out, this kind of consumption seems to be nothing.

But the enemy's army is much larger, and head-to-head confrontation with the opponent is completely a bad idea.

So he wondered if he wanted to withdraw to Zhenbei Pass.

In this way, the army can be rested.

At the same time, relying on the tall city wall, it blocked the enemy from outside the pass.

Otherwise, if all the soldiers are exhausted here, it will be difficult to even defend Zhenbei Pass.

"Now is not the time to retreat." Marquis Shenwu glanced ahead and immediately said: "The two sides seem to be fighting fiercely now, but there is no real decisive battle. The grassland army still retains a strong combat power. We retreat at this time. Go back, what should we do if we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

"Besides, if we retreat, what will the grassland army choose to divide? Then other places will be in a hurry. Now we seem to be unable to afford losses, but this commander has already ordered to mobilize troops from other places in the northern border, Zhengyuan Town Beiguan."

"If you want to win the big battle with the grassland army, you must lure their main force to the same place, which is under Zhenbei Pass."

"Otherwise, divide the troops and we will be the ones who are passive."

Shen Wuhou's voice was very soft, but very firm.

Because for them, this is the best and only way at present.

Although I know that many soldiers will die because of this, but in war, how can there be no reason to die?
For Wei, for thousands of people.

The deputy general next to him lowered his head slightly when he heard this, and finally said nothing.

At this time, the war is still going on.The impact on the grassland was more violent than expected. Tens of thousands of cavalry moved in unison, the sound was earth-shattering, and their power was unparalleled.

If it weren't for the soldiers at Zhenbeiguan, who had experienced all kinds of fighting, they would definitely be speechless if they were newcomers.

As time went by, the numbers on both sides dwindled.

Nothing on the prairie side.

After all, there are 22 troops, which can withstand consumption.

But on Wei's side, as time went by, the pressure increased, and the core area continued to shrink, and there was a situation of being completely surrounded.

However, the reason for this is because Marquis Shenwu felt sorry for the casualties of his soldiers, so he adopted a more conservative style of play, striving to save one death, and then one less death.

As he said before, everyone is born of their parents.

That's why, Shenwuhou has a high prestige in the military, because his love for soldiers is not just on the surface, but in every battle and every move.

So every time he leads the army, the morale is always very high, and he can truly win every battle.

Even this time, it was obvious that Wei's side was already at a disadvantage.

But what about the soldiers under his command?

But still fight the enemy bravely!
But Marquis Shenwu knew that he had almost reached his limit now.

Now the army under him, the left-wing and right-wing armies have shrunk to the limit. If they retreat, they will really be surrounded by the grassland army. At that time, it will be really dangerous.

He roughly estimated that in this battle, his own side lost close to ten thousand people, while the grassland army lost more, but it should be less than twenty thousand.

Although it doesn't look like much, in the eyes of Marquis Shenwu, the goal has almost been achieved.

It is necessary to let the army back to Zhenbei Pass for rest.

Continue to attack tomorrow.

In this case, although the loss will be more.

But it can completely prevent the grassland army from distinguishing, and it can be regarded as achieving its own goal.

At that moment, Marquis Shenwu said: "The order is for the entire army to retreat and enter the customs to rest. Remember, the rear team will change to the front, so don't go chaotically. When retreating, the enemy must have sensed it, and the whole army will be dispatched to stop it. Panic, save your strength!"

After the opponent realizes that he is retreating, he will definitely choose to lead his army to pursue. In this case, it is also the most dangerous time.

In order not to be surrounded and try to save the lives of the soldiers under his command, one must be cautious and cautious.

This is the only thing he can do now.

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

After a lieutenant general received the order, he immediately shouted the order to the people below.

All of a sudden, all the armies began to shrink and retreat in an orderly manner.

Although Marquis Shenwu chose to attack before.

But it is not too far from Zhenbei Pass, the reason is that it can be safer when thinking about retreating.

But now, he kept a close eye on the army on the grassland side, and at the same time let his scouts keep sending messages back and forth, gaining insight into the overall situation of the battle, and ensuring that everything was in his hands.

But very soon, Marquis Shenwu suddenly realized something was wrong.

That was the prairie army. When he was retreating, he did not pursue it, but began to retreat instead.

This made him very confused, and he didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Lord Hou, Lord Hou!"

Also at this time.

A scout hurried over and said, "Reporting to Lord Hou, I don't know why, the prairie army has all started to retreat, and has no intention of continuing to fight with our army. Not only that, we also saw a vanguard in the prairie, He is leaving at the fastest speed, and if he looks at the target, it should be the Keqin area!"

Keqin area?

Hearing this, Shen Wuhou's eyes changed slightly.

That was the place where the ten khans of the grassland gathered, hundreds of miles away from here, and located in the relatively center of the grassland.

It's just that he doesn't understand, why send a vanguard to the desirable area?
Did something happen?

"Lord Hou, Lord Hou!"

"problem occurs!"

At this moment, another scout came galloping from a distance, with shock and anxiety in his eyes.

Marquis Shenwu knew that this person was the scout he sent to inquire about the Keqin area.

Because I knew before that there would be Khans from the grasslands in the Keqin area.

So God had already asked the scouts to keep an eye on the movement there, but there was no news before, but now the person came, and immediately, he asked directly: "What happened?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, there was a large army that rushed into the Keqin area not long ago and clashed with the grassland people there."

"The location where the ten Khans are located is completely surrounded, and the subordinates dare not inquire further, so they report back immediately."

"But judging from the clothes of that army, it seems to be the army of Gaoyang area!"

The scout reported back.

Goyang area?

Isn't that where Champion Hou is?

Beside, the generals were all shocked when they heard this.

Especially Shenwuhou, his eyes froze, and after thinking for a while, he immediately understood what was going on.

Gaoyang is indeed relatively close to the Keqin area, and it would definitely be the best to attack the Ten Khans of the Grassland from there.

More importantly, the eyes of the prairie army were all on Zhenbei Pass.

Maybe not at all.

There will also be a large army, which will attack from another place.

"Master Hou, the champion Hou ran thousands of miles to attack Gaoyang and destroyed the country in one battle, and his tactics were as fast as lightning. Do you think the champion Hou will also start from Gaoyang to attack the ten Khans in the grassland in Keqin?"

At this time, a general rode his horse forward and immediately spoke.

His tone was a little excited and trembling.

Because he fully understands in his heart that if it is as he expected, it means that the army assembled by the ten grasslands will start to collapse because of Khan's crisis.

From the situation just now, it can be seen that the army of Mingming Zhen Beiguan has begun to retreat, and it is a good time to pursue.

But the prairie army did not seize this opportunity and retreated instead.

There is also a vanguard army rushing towards the Keqin area.

Can be imagined.

If the champion can surround all ten khans in the grassland, and even capture them alive, that would be nothing short of amazing.
At this moment, the general can no longer be described in words.And the other generals were also excited at this time, because they never thought that this would happen.

Champion Hou played for the second time, and once again led his army to attack like lightning, and this time the target was the ten Khans of the Grassland!
