Chapter 608: Aspirations Are High as the Sky, but Life Is Thin as Paper

"What did you say?" Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Yu Wenke suddenly jumped up, grabbed the reporting officer's collar with his hands, and shouted angrily: "What are you talking about?"

The officer's voice trembled, "General, General Yuwen Chui was defeated and is now on his way back. The messenger has arrived at the camp. I was worried that the news would be exposed and affect the morale of the army, so I hid him.

"How could it be defeated? How could it be defeated?" Yu Wenke let go of the officer in despair, took a step back, and shook his head in disbelief, "This must be a trick of the Eastern Expedition Army. There are only five thousand infantry in Dayan Lake, and Sun Xiao I have already mobilized A Chui with five thousand cavalry, how can he be defeated? "

"General, the messenger said that General Yuwen Chui was about to succeed, but at the last moment, Gao Yuan led his red guards and suddenly arrived." Thinking of the brutality of the red guards described by the messenger, the officer couldn't help but get excited. Ling shivered. "General Yuwen Chui said that the general should make a decision quickly. Now Gao Yuan is chasing after him, and according to his estimation, Gao Yuan should have reinforcements behind him."

Yu Wenke's face was pale. In a short period of time, he seemed to have aged by ten years. His previous high spirits were gone, and he seemed to have slumped down in an instant. "You will lose this way? How can you lose? "

Seeing that Yu Wenke was distracted, the officer became a little worried, "General, Xu Yuan from Pioneer City and Yan Peng from Wancheng have invested all their troops like two lunatics. Now we have two fronts. Everyone is in a hurry and dispatch the cavalry quickly, otherwise if a few pontoon bridges are damaged, we will have no way out when Gao Yuan arrives. "

"Yes, the pontoon, we must defend the pontoon." Yu Wenke suddenly jumped up, "Send the order to Tian Zongmin, and guard the pontoon at all costs."

"General, General Tian has been defending for three days and has suffered heavy losses in troops. If he doesn't use the cavalry, I'm afraid he won't be able to defend."

"Cavalry?" Yu Wenke shook his head and said: "Xu Yuan still has two thousand cavalry who have not moved. Yan Peng has at least one thousand. These three thousand cavalry have not been dispatched since the war began. They must be targeting us. The cavalry. If they are entangled, it will be difficult to escape. If Gao Yuan arrives again, it will be troublesome. "

"General, what should we do now?"

"Let the infantry cover the cavalry to cross the river first." Yu Wenke said decisively.

Chen Bin swung his sword and chopped down another enemy in front of him. His eyes suddenly became empty. He found that not far in front of him, there was already the surging Liao River. There was no enemy in front of him. In this round of charging, he finally Killed through the Donghu people's formation. Just raising his head and glancing at the river, he turned around and immediately turned to the other direction and rushed over. Behind him, an endless stream of Zhengdong soldiers poured in from the gap.

The Donghu people guarding the pontoon bridge were immediately cut into two parts, the left and right parts.

And more places are being penetrated.

Tian Zongmin sighed, after all, he did not block it, but what made him even more confused was why Yu Wenke's cavalry did not dispatch. If the cavalry came to cover up the attack at this time, it would be impossible to defend the pontoon bridge.

"Retreat!" He was also a decisive person. When he saw that something was inevitable, he immediately decided to abandon the pontoon bridge behind him and retreat to the direction of the Chinese army. Where was the largest pontoon bridge? When crossing the river, this pontoon bridge But it bears the heavy responsibility of Yuwen Ke's cavalry crossing the river.

In Pioneer City, Xu Yuan saw Chen Bin covered in blood.

"Well done!" He patted Chen Bin on the shoulder vigorously, "This is the general of my Eastern Conquest Army."

Chen Bin bared his teeth. After this battle, even though he was wearing the best armor, these armors only protected the vital parts of his body. There were also countless injuries in other places. He didn't feel it in the previous fierce battle. However, as soon as I stopped, I suddenly felt pain all over my body.

"Commander, we have prepared fire grease and other materials. As long as you give the order, this floating bridge can be turned into ashes." Chen Bin said.

"Burn him?" Xu Yuan paused, "No, no, no!" He shook his head repeatedly: "Chen Bin, the situation has changed. I have great use for this bridge. Can you still fight?"

Chen Bin puffed up his chest and said, "Of course I can fight!"

"Okay, your division commander Ni Huazong and the second division Tao Jiawang are now marching their troops to force Yu Wenke's army. You lead the team to follow. As a reserve team, come and have a good rest. In addition, if necessary, you must rush forward. Give your opponent a fatal blow."

"Understood!" Chen Bin turned around and started walking. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around: "Commander, are our cavalry going to cross the river?"

Xu Yuan was startled, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Chen Bin, you can actually guess this. Yes, our cavalry is going to cross the river. News just came that the governor has arrived and destroyed Yuwen in Dayan Lake." The cavalry led by Chui Yu Wenming, with the governor in front and Commander Sun behind, is running towards here. If my prediction is correct, this old boy Yu Wenke will definitely run away. "

Chen Bin was immediately ecstatic, "Our army's reinforcements have arrived. If we can cut off Yu Wenke's retreat, we can make dumplings for him. If this battle keeps Yu Wenke here, our army can fight for the Hetao Plains." Great advantage."

"That's natural. Yuwen Ke's heart is as high as the sky, but his life is thinner than paper. There was no flaw in the whole plan, but he happened to bump into my family. The governor has always tried his best to make plans. This time, he hit the iron plate, and a piece of paper was thrown away. My life will be lost here!" Xu Yuan laughed wildly.

Chen Bin ran out happily. At this time, the numerous wounds on his body no longer felt so painful.

"Gongsun Yi, Luo Lei, Yan Xiaohe!" Xu Yuan turned his head and looked at the three cavalry generals on his left and right who had been watching from the sidelines since the war started. Among them, Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei were his cavalry generals, and Yan Xiaohe It was the general of Yan Peng's Second Army. After the war started, the cavalry under the two men was not enough to compete with the Donghu people, so they simply joined forces in order to play a big role at the critical moment. Now it seems that at the beginning, The decision was really wise.

"Chen Bin has taken control of a pontoon bridge. What you have to do now is to cross the river as quickly as possible, capture Yu Wenke's remaining personnel on the other side, and then block their retreat. Remember, in the past few days, The infantry have already shed enough blood. You just saw that Chen Bin can't see much good meat on his body. Don't let their blood be shed in vain. What we want in this battle is a perfect victory. ”

"Yes!" The three of them bowed in unison.

"Gongsun Yi, you will command this battle. If something goes wrong, you know the consequences!" Xu Yuan said coldly.

"Understood!" Gongsun Yi suddenly became energetic. This was a cavalry of more than 3,000 people. All the cavalry from the First Army and the Second Army were gathered together. It was also the largest cavalry commanded by Gongsun Yi. : "If Yuwen Ke is allowed to run across the river, I, Gongsun Yi, will come to meet him."

"There's no need to raise your head, but the position of the cavalry division commander has nothing to do with you." Xu Yuan laughed. "Hurry up, Yuwen Ke must jump over the wall now."

Yuwen Ke was indeed furious now, because Tian Zongmin was roaring at him.

"Where is your cavalry? Where is the cavalry? How long has it been? If you haven't thrown your cavalry into a desperate fight, the Eastern Expeditionary Army must be mobilizing troops and horses to rush towards your central army. When they get here, line up. Formation, can your cavalry still be able to attack them? While they are still being mobilized, deploy your cavalry immediately and strike halfway to isolate them. We will still have a chance." Tian Zongmin waved his arms. , regardless of the size of the Donghu generals in the account.

"I am directing the battle. I don't need you to dictate. I have my own overall arrangements." Yu Wenke said angrily: "You have lost the pontoon bridge, and you still dare to dictate here. Do you mean that I don't dare to use military law?"

Tian Zongmin was furious, "General Yuwen, aren't you afraid of betraying your heart by saying this? There are more than 10,000 infantry guarding three pontoon bridges. Each bridge can only be allocated more than 3,000 people. Facing the Eastern Expeditionary Army that is multiple times my number, we After three full days of defense, if you were willing to send out cavalry to support us, how could we have ended up like this? Now that the surprise troops you sent have been defeated, the enemy is taking advantage of the situation to counterattack. If we don't push back the enemy in front, we will retreat even if we want to. No. Letting the opponent get entangled will lead to death. At this time, you only want to let the cavalry retreat. Do you want to abandon all the infantry to the Eastern Expedition Army? "

"The cavalry is the foundation of my Donghu!" Yu Wenke said proudly: "As long as my Donghu cavalry is still there, the Eastern Expeditionary Army will not dare to act recklessly. Infantry, hehe, it is easy to train. General Tian, ​​I have many people under my command in Donghu. Even if this In a battle, all the cavalry will be lost here, but as long as the cavalry is successfully withdrawn, it will take at most half a year to form an infantry force of 10,000 or more. This matter cannot be discussed again. "

Tian Zongmin was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and two Buddhas came out of the ground. They stared at Yuwen Ke, panting heavily, and could not speak. He just pointed at Yuwen Ke and moved his lips: "Yu Wenke, you are going to eat a lot of food like this." Unfortunately, when the time comes, the infantry will not be protected and the cavalry will not be able to escape. It will inevitably be a waste of water. The pontoon bridge on the left has been lost. As long as the opponent's general is in his right mind, he will definitely send troops directly across the pontoon bridge to block your retreat. There is no way to retreat. A single attack with the whole army must at least repel the opponent's counterattack to buy enough time to retreat. Only cavalry can suppress the opponent's counterattack. "

"General Tian!" Yu Wenke shouted, "You are just my guest in Donghu, not my superior. Here, General Tian, ​​please cross the river first. Yu Wenhao, you will take over the command of the infantry to resist the enemy. All the cavalry, Get ready to cross the river."

Two Donghu guards rushed forward, grabbed Tian Guomin on the left and right, and dragged him away. Tian Guomin struggled and roared: "Yu Wenke, you will regret it." (To be continued.
