Chapter 1041: Success in the East and Success in the West (Thirty-Four)

Gao Yuan said it very easily, but He Lanxiong suddenly couldn't swallow it. He thought that he had been invincible and invincible in these years. He was a powerful figure and was called a famous general in the world. Unexpectedly, he met Li Xin and rode against him. Stepping forward, they were actually surrounded by opponents from all sides, and there was almost no room for them to stand up. In the last few days in the Ayakula Grand Canyon, they had already begun to kill horses, and for the cavalry, killing their horses was They simply killed their parents, first the injured horses, then the sick horses. Even so, the soldiers whose horses were killed would rather starve to death than eat the flesh of their own horses. What would happen later? , He Lanxiong cruelly killed Wu Cui, a good horse that had been following him for many years, with his own hands. In front of all the soldiers, he ate the meat of Wu Cui, and then he reluctantly made all the soldiers accept the cruel fact that in Ma He Among people, people are naturally more important.

Of course, what they didn't see was that after avoiding everyone, He Lanxiong vomited so much that he burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, Helan still asks to be the vanguard in this pursuit!" Helanxiong said loudly: "Helan is willing to lead his troops and fight Li Xin to the death again!"

"He Lan has rich experience. He has learned a lot and gained wisdom. I think you will never fall into Li Xin's tricks again. This pioneer position was originally meant for you." Gao Yuan laughed.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Tang He walked in and said, "Your Majesty, we have found out where Li Xin's soldiers and horses have gone."

"Li Xin's main force is divided into two groups. One is led by General Liu Dacheng and attacks the troops led by Commander Yan. The main force is led by Li Xin himself, bypassing Yan's department and heading directly towards Jishi City. In addition, you Danyu, who has just been put back, is wandering in front of us with all the remaining cavalry of the Qin army, and it seems that he is trying to block our way forward!"

Gao Yuan was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Interesting, interesting. The thoughts of famous generals in the world are indeed not understandable to ordinary people. Helan, you want to be a pioneer and slowly kill Li Xin on the grassland, but you don't." The solution was achieved.”

"You are really looking for death!" He Lanxiong also shook his head repeatedly, "Is this Li Xin just lost his mind?"

Gao Yuan flat-mouthed, walked to the map, stared at the map with vertical and horizontal lines in front of him, for a long time, suddenly turned to He Lanxiong and said: "He Lan, what do you think we should do next?"

"What's there to say? Since Li Xin wants to touch our Jishi City, then we naturally have to help him, kill the generals from the rear, surround him under Jishi City, and annihilate him with one blow."

"Well, then which way should we take to get to Jishi City the fastest and surround Li Xin?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

He Lanxiong walked to the map and drew a road on the map with his finger: "I can pass through the terrain here with my eyes closed. This road is the closest. If we take this road, maybe we can still get there." We intercepted Li Xin halfway and hit him with a few sticks so that he couldn't even see the edge of Jishi City and he was already beaten to a pulp by us."

"That makes sense!" Gao Yuan turned to look at Tang He, "Tang He, where is the cavalry led by Dan Yu?"

"Your Majesty, the cavalry led by Dan Yu are closer to the line where Commander Yan's headquarters is located." Tang He replied.

"As expected!" After Gao Yuan returned to the big case, he picked up his pen and wrote a secret letter quickly. He carefully put it into an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to He Lanxiong. "Congratulations. Lan, Yan Haibo's 30,000 men, against the 30,000 men in Liudacheng, our chances of winning are extremely high. However, in order to add some chips, you will lead your troops and the rebels led by Gu Li to support Yan Haibo with the final goal. Defeat Liu Dacheng's troops as quickly as possible. Please wait until you see Liu Dacheng's troops before opening this letter. Remember, you must open it after you see the Qin army led by Liu Dacheng. Do you understand? ?”

"Understood!" He Lanxiong glanced at Gao Yuan strangely. He had worked with Gao Yuan for a long time. Gao Yuan always issued military orders neatly, simply and clearly. How could he be so mysterious this time?

"The Qin army has already moved. You and Gu Li should go and prepare, and then break camp and set off!"

"Yes!" He Xingxiong and Gu Li clasped their fists at the same time, turned around and strode away from the tent.

"Tang He, come here!" Gao Yuan greeted Tang He and walked to him, leaned over and whispered in his ear for a while. Tang He had a look of extreme surprise on his face.

"Do you understand?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Understood, promise to complete the mission!" Tang He said loudly, turned around, and ran out of the tent quickly, even forgetting to salute. Obviously, the order given to him by Gao Yuan made him a little distracted.

"Brother, what are you doing, so mysterious?" He Lanyan walked up to Gao Yuan with some confusion and asked.

"Yanzi, do you still remember those battles we fought against the Hu Tu tribe?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember!" Helan Yan raised her head slightly, "That was one of the most dangerous battles we fought. You only had three hundred soldiers, and our Helan clan only had more than two cavalrymen. Although the Hu Tu tribe only had four There are more than a hundred cavalry, but for us, they are already a giant. Those battles were really thrilling. If there was a problem in one link, we would not be where we are today."

"Do you want to be thrilling again?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" He Lanyan's eyes widened.

Gao Yuan stood up, walked to the map, stretched out his hand to take a picture of the map, and laughed and said: "Who is Li Xin? He is the kind of guy who will never give up until the last moment. Now he still has 80,000 troops. , do you think he will really let it go without restraint? He just put up this position to lure me into taking the bait."

"Trying to lure us into taking the bait?"

Gao Yuan pointed to the route that He Lanxiong pointed out just now, "Look, this route is the closest road to Jishi City. If we want to go to Jishi City, of course, this is the most direct route. Your brother knows that the day Li Xin arrives at the grassland It’s not too short, he naturally knows it very well.”

He Lanyan blinked her eyes, "Are you saying that this Li Xin went to Jishi City to attack us under false pretenses? He wanted to attack us halfway through our march, right?"

"It's not an attack, he wants to repeat his old trick. He wants to surround us!" Gao Yuan clicked on a place, "Look, this is the Black Cloud Banner, which is the only way for us to aid Jishi City, but what about the terrain here? ? Behind you is the Siyang River, and in front of you is the rare Gagege Mountain on the grassland. Although it is not high, it is enough. The Wuyun Banner extends in a semicircle from the Siyang River to the Gagege Mountain. It is really a piece of land. It's a good place for an ambush. A solid defensive position is set up on the mountain, and it's blocked at both ends. There's really no way out except jumping into the river!"

He Lanyan frowned and searched for the appearance of Wuyunqi in his memory. After a while, he changed his expression and said, "Then you sent your brother and Gu Li away?"

Gao Yuan chuckled: "Look at how big the place is in Wuyun Banner. If Gu Li and your brother also go, we will have too many people. How can this place be used? It would be better if there are fewer people."

"You want to take the initiative to fall into this trap?" He Lanyan said in disbelief.

"Why not?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Li Xin is a famous general in the world. It's a pity that the hero has come to an end. He didn't want to win this battle. The only thing he thought about was whether he could kill me. I'll give him this chance." , and it just so happens that we can catch the Qin army here to avoid the endless pursuit. He had a hard time escaping, so why shouldn’t we have a hard time chasing him?"

"Your idea is really weird, why take such a risk?" He Lanyan pouted: "Since we know, let's go around and give him a stick."

"Li Xin is not an ordinary person. If we don't follow his steps, he might do something wrong again. It's better to just jump in and kill him." Gao Yuan raised his head, "Fifty thousand infantry can indeed do that. I have 20,000 cavalry blocking me under the terrain of Wuyun Banner, but the problem is, I still have reinforcements outside! He surrounded me, and I want to counter-surround him. Cooperate inside and outside, blossom inside and outside, and have 50,000 Qin elites. , if you don’t want to stay on the grassland and work as a coolie for us big men for a few years, then you can work as fertilizer in Wuyun Banner!"

The first ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, illuminating the entire grassland in an instant. But what accompanied the rising sun was not the breeze, the blue sky, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, but the rumble of war drums. The two armies were several miles apart and were slowly fighting each other. approaching.

A black-clad army was the Qin army led by Liu Dacheng.

One group, wearing navy blue military uniforms, was the Han Dynasty's Eastern Field Army led by Yan Haibo.

The formations of the two armies are very different. They are both composed of a thousand men per square, well-organized, covering each other, and advancing layer by layer.

"Stop!" Yan Haibo raised his hand and shouted loudly.

The sound of the bugle sounded, and in an instant, the corresponding bugle sounded in each square formation. With a roar, tens of thousands of troops stopped. But the Qin army accelerated its pace at this moment.

Yan Haibo laughed heartily, "You bastard Qin people, this time I want to show you the power of our latest weapon. Come here, bring me the divine machine crossbow and the vehicle-mounted crossbow."

The divine machine crossbow has just begun mass production and is equipped with only a small number of troops. As for the vehicle-mounted crossbow, more than a dozen sample vehicles have just been produced. This time Yan Haibo went out and put these in the Jishi City workshop at once. All the divine machine crossbows and vehicle-mounted crossbows were brought out.

The divine machine crossbow has a range of 300 steps and an effective killing range of 200 steps.

Vehicle-mounted crossbow, with a range of 400 steps and an effective killing range of 300 steps.

The Qin army's foot-operated crossbow has a range of 200 steps and an effective killing range of about 150 steps.

The Qin army is still moving forward, but the Han army's crossbows have begun to aim at them. In addition to the dozens of divine machine crossbows and a dozen vehicle-mounted crossbows in the front row, the arm-shaped crossbows in the dozens of square formations in front are also raised. Got up.

"Shoot!" The saber in Yan Haibo's hand fell heavily. A high-pitched bugle sound suddenly rose up and went straight to Yunxiao. At the same time, the command knife in the hand of the crossbow commander in front also fell.

"shooting!"

A dark cloud suddenly appeared in mid-air, almost covering the sky above the Qin army. The Han army fired tens of thousands of crossbow arrows at once. (To be continued)
