Nine hundred and eighty-third chapter in-depth fifty-one(1/2)
Qingyue is a bit big-headed. He doesn't go into battle very often. He only goes to suppress horse thieves. But although the cavalry in front of him are classified as horse thieves, are they really horse thieves?
At least the elite cavalry under him are far inferior to this group of men... Whether it is equipment, military quality, or personal combat effectiveness, the difference is so bad that it is impossible to calculate.
Qingyue originally suggested that the Presbyterian Council send an experienced general to lead an army to pursue the warrior adventure group, but for some reason, the three major families decided to let Beecher Sutton take advantage of the situation.
Although theoretically speaking, Beecher Sutton does need this opportunity, but Beecher Sutton has always been leading infantry, and his understanding of cavalry is naturally not as good as that of a professional cavalry commander.
Of course, these are not the main problems. The question now is, if the cavalry of the Warrior Adventure Group really goes to Yancheng again, should Qingyue give up the original siege plan?
Not giving up is equivalent to betting that this cavalry will come back again. But if this cavalry really goes away and never looks back, Beecher Sutton's lone army will not be able to stop him, and he will let this cavalry rush to Yancheng again.
under……
The triangular eyes of the Presbyterian Church suddenly appeared in front of Qingyue's eyes, and she immediately shuddered and ordered: "Turn the entire army! Head north! Return to Yancheng as soon as possible!"
When Qingyue turned north, Beecher Sutton also received news from the scouts, saying that they had discovered this cavalry heading towards Yancheng!
This is such a shame, Beecher Sutton doesn't even know who to scold.
Originally, they were well guarded in Yancheng, but then they rushed to Jiangyin according to the order. Before they even arrived, something like this happened!
"Send the order! Dig trenches immediately..." If infantry and cavalry engage in an encounter in the wild, they are undoubtedly seeking death. Only positional warfare is the best strategy.
After receiving the military order, the soldiers did not dare to complain and got busy... For the generals, this was to win the battle, but for the soldiers, it was to save their lives, so they worked very enthusiastically.
"Send more scouts! Send more! Find out the movements of the bandits!" Beecher Sutton still felt uneasy, although he didn't quite understand why the enemy seemed to be crazy and wanted to attack Yancheng again.
, but it is also very important to know more about the battlefield.
But the problem is that in terms of scouts, they are still lagging behind a lot. Many of the sentinels who were separated rarely came back with all their beards and tails after encountering the cavalry of the Warrior Adventure Group. Therefore, their understanding of the battlefield is very low.
, actually it’s not much better.
But Beecher Sutton doesn't care about the loss of the scout sentries... As long as one of the hundred scouts comes back, he only needs to know that those ruthless bandits are indeed still there, and he also doesn't care about letting the other party know that he is here -
- Beecher Sutton knew in his heart that as long as he entangled this bandit, when Qingyue's troops flanked him and outflanked them, he would be done.
Keep waiting!
Because Beecher Sutton had learned from the past, he did not dare to make any rash moves. If the infantry competed with the cavalry in maneuvering, it would be to seek death. Of course, the scouts were still sent out non-stop, although Beecher Sutton did not have many cavalry under his command.
They can act as scouts and keep sending them forward. Even if these scouts cannot come back, it is equivalent to telling Beecher Sutton that those ruthless bandits are still here.
After all, battlefield intelligence is more important than the lives of scouts.
Not only Beecher Sutton, but also Qingyue's scouts were all moving forward crazily, even at the cost of their lives. The specific location of Qin Lei, the deployment of troops, and the situation of the three scouts in this area
On the ground, a fierce battle of interception and counter-interception was launched. Its excitement and intensity were no less than that of a large army battle. Zhang Jiayue watched it with relish from the air.
On the third day, Qingyue finally received information that the bandits could not continue going north because Beecher Sutton had built a position in front of them, so they turned south and headed here.
Qingyue was overjoyed. He seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. He now thought that he had finally surrounded these guys who were wandering around!
This is a big fish!
Qingyue immediately asked the soldiers to prepare to build a position, and like Beecher Sutton, they followed the route and stared at Qin Lei wholeheartedly as the big fish crashed into the net bag.
However, something unexpected happened to him. Just when he was waiting for Qin Lei to throw himself into the trap, Qin Lei led the cavalry troops to make a false shot, but suddenly returned to the original route, broke away from the contact, and headed north.
.
"What the hell is this?"
Qingyue was furious, but with the previous experience, he did not act rashly, but waited patiently...
Qingyue believed that Qin Lei would definitely come again. After all, there was Beecher Sutton to the north, mountains to the east, and large forests to the west. If these ruthless bandits were blocked here, where else could they go?
On the fifth day, Qin Lei and his troops still did not come, and the scouts did not find any trace, as if they had disappeared on the ground.
Qingyue's scouts cannot be sent too far. One hundred miles is the limit, unless Qingyue wants the scouts to report only every other day, and even so, it will greatly deplete the stamina of the war horses and make them unable to run.
After a few trips, you may not be able to run anymore.
However, there has been no news about this cavalry, which made Qingyue gradually become uneasy, and her originally confident thoughts could not help but waver.
There are mountains to the east and swamps to the west, but are the mountains and swamps really impassable?
Not necessarily?
Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious, but people may hold back an idea when they are anxious!
Although the mountains and swamps are not suitable for cavalry to travel, what if the cavalry breaks into the mountains and swamps regardless of the fact that both the north and the south are obviously blocked?
More and more thoughts were tumbling in Qingyue's mind. On the morning of the sixth day, Qingyue couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the troops to break camp and search northward. He wanted to see where this bandit was going.
Where did he go? Why is there no trace?
In the Cangjiu tribe, the automobile industry has not developed. When the infantry breaks out of camp, they do not take transportation, but rely on two legs. The cavalry is mostly reconnaissance troops or specialized cavalry troops, and carriages and the like are mainly responsible for transporting...
In fact, Zhang Jiayue has always been surprised that the technology tree of this Cangjiu tribe is obviously crooked.
In fact, Qingyue's decision was a bit risky. They had already built a complete position. Even the cavalry troops would have to pay a heavy price to defend the position. Now it was very dangerous to abandon the position without knowing the opponent's position.
——After all, if he suddenly encounters a battle, no one will give him the time and opportunity to build a position.
The scouts are in chaos, and they are constantly collecting information from the front, some and some, to Qingyue. Qingyue's scouts have suffered a lot. At present, many of these scouts are temporarily recruited from various armies.
Not to mention their riding skills, they are not qualified for the basic tasks and abilities of scouts. Many times they don't even know what they should observe.
But no matter what, it is better than nothing.
Finally, the scouts discovered the marks left by Qin Lei and others, and they reported to Qingyue that they found some injured horses abandoned by the bandits in the valleys of the eastern mountains...
Heading to the mountains to the east?
It is indeed possible to abandon the horse and jump over the mountains. It is indeed possible to jump out of the battlefield and find a way to Jucheng. But in this way, wouldn't it mean that the greatest advantage of the cavalry is abandoned and it becomes the same speed as the infantry? It loses its powerful mobility.
, do they really think they still have a chance to return to Jucheng?
After Qingyue arrived in the mountainous area and saw the injured horses, she no longer had any doubts. She ordered the soldiers to search for traces of the bandits near the abandoned horses, and launched a pursuit without stopping.
From the middle of the sun to the sunset, Qingyue finally turned the troops and dispersed them into a huge array of flying geese. The two extended wings headed towards the mountainous area. However, perhaps it was because the soldiers were not fully trained and stretched out.
The two wings that came out were not as light and agile as the wild goose crane. Instead, they were like two arms stretched out by a monkey, swaying and twisting... There was no way, no matter what the front arrow formation, the crescent moon formation, the long snake formation, they were all like
A product of the cold weapon age, the main reason why Qingyue organized the troops like this is that the mountainous area is too large. If something is wrong, it may be too far off.
Qingyue looked at the array of soldiers entering the mountainous area to search, and sighed helplessly.
Although it doesn't look good, this is the greatest ability of these soldiers. It is extremely difficult to command an infantry that has only gone through the current formation, stabbing, and shooting training to put up a formation in the cold weapon era.
The thing... Fortunately, there was a temporary telephone command set up. As long as the telephone line was long enough, we could contact the troops on the front line.
To conduct a search in the mountains, it is impossible to line up skirmishers into the mountains in the same way as pulling a net. Instead, we must form a stepped array along the mountain roads and valleys, taking care of the front and back. Under such requirements, the wild goose formation is naturally the most suitable.
suitable.
Of course, Qingyue also sent messengers to Beecher Sutton to pass on the news here. I believe that if Beecher Sutton cooperates, they can definitely catch the tail of this army...
However, when the sun was setting, the scouts who were wandering around the periphery suddenly ran in front of Qingyue as if their buttocks were burned by fire, with no blood on their faces, "General... General! Bandit... Bandit...
…”
Although the scout could not speak completely because of panic, the tremors from the ground and the smoke rising in the distance had already told Qingyue all the answers - this cavalry did not enter the mountain, but hid in the mountain.
They have reached the direction of Dalinzedi and are now heading towards Qingyue's main formation to kill them!
If God gives Qingyue another chance, even if Qingyue still goes into the mountains to search, there will be no damn flying geese array!
If the long wings that have penetrated into the mountainous area are barely regarded as the two wings of the wild goose, then Qingyue's current position is at the body of the wild goose, and the cavalry coming from the Dalinze area in the east seems to be
Holding the sharp tip of the knife, he pointed it at Qingyue's anus and stabbed it. Even just looking at this posture would make his lower body twitch.
Qingyue picked up the phone and shouted loudly, Ji Tu rotated the entire formation 180 degrees, and then turned to the direction of Qin Lei's attack to fight head-on. However, these patchwork soldiers could completely understand the "backwards"
Is this command of 'return'?
Where is the end?
Where is the back?
The messy orders greatly affected the sight and hearing of the surrounding soldiers. Not only did the officers fail to let Qingyue's group of rabble understand what happened, what exactly they needed to do, what they heard and what they didn't hear, what they understood and what they didn't.
Understandably, they bumped into each other in a chaotic manner, pushing and shouting. The disorderly panic quickly spread. The poor little hearts of the soldiers were played wantonly by an invisible little claw, and they began to become
Insensitive, like a broken toy.
The setting sun on the horizon reflects on the sword raised high, and falls on the galloping cavalry. It shines with golden light, and the slight orange-red color coats everything with a warm color, like
A beautiful butterfly shining with dangerous and beautiful colors.
"The ruthless bandits! It's the ruthless bandits!"
Among Qingyue's troops, some people screamed hysterically.
At any time, when soldiers form a formation, when a powerful violent war machine reveals its claws, it can shock people's hearts. This power to shock people's hearts is not expressed in words, but is displayed in the formation of these soldiers.
That coordination and unity.
Every time when facing this rolling cavalry force, everyone can't help but feel that they have to fight against such a group of people alone. Even though there are countless comrades around them, they can't feel any sense of security.
Their eyes wandered, their hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, their mouths and tongues became dry and painful, and they just wanted to escape from this damn battlefield immediately and hide in the safest place.
"The gangsters are coming!"
To be continued...
