Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C426
“Brothers, let’s fight our way back to cavalry of Youzhou.” Lin Zhuo could not help but grumble in his heart, he then shouted and led the cavalrymen to attack cavalry of Youzhou. He knew very well that if he were to lose the Changjin Camp, he would undoubtedly be executed by Dong Zhuo.
Most importantly, the Huaixian’s two camps, the’s several hundred thousand West Cold Army s’ provisions were all in the Changjin Camp. If they were burned by the cavalry of Youzhou, what would the Xiliang soldier and war horses eat? It was likely that the morale of the troops would be greatly affected, and the two camps might not be able to hold on.
“Kill …”
Over a thousand cavalry of Youzhou s shouted, and quickly rushed towards the West Cold Cavalry. At such a close distance, there were no longer any more arrows. cavalry of Youzhou took out their Pu Dao s and raised them high up, the sharp blades reflecting the light of the camp, illuminating the darkness before dawn.
“Kill!”
Lin Zhuo bellowed, his eyes burning with anger, he waved his spear and welcomed the spear. He saw Chen Cang leading the charge. He knew that he no longer had any hope of living, so even if he died, he would still kill this fellow that had put him to death.
As the saying goes, one inch long, one inch strong. Almost all of the West Cold Army’s soldiers were long spears, so they were not afraid in the slightest when facing the cavalry of Youzhou with the Pu Dao in their hands. They shouted together, and followed closely behind Lin Zhuo, rushing towards cavalry of Youzhou.
“Die!” Lin Zhuo screamed, the spear in his hand trembled, and the spear blade pierced into Chen Cang’s left chest. In this kind of situation, let alone a sharp spear blade, even a sharp wooden stick could shock the opponent.
Chen Cang was also crawling around in the pile of dead, and he had a lot of experience in fighting for his life. Seeing that Lin Zhuo’s spear was approaching him, he only raised the Pu Dao in his hands up. With a “clang” sound, Lin Zhuo’s spear blade immediately floated up and pierced into the air from Chen Cang’s left shoulder.
Everything had two aspects, positive and negative. The spear had a great advantage, but it was also a fatal weakness. The long spear could be used to strike first, but the defense was slower. Once the long spear pierced the air, not only would he lose the initiative to attack, his own body would also be exposed in front of the enemy.
The advantage of short weapons was that they could react quickly and move freely. As the proverb goes, an inch shorter and an inch riskier, the Pu Dao’s biggest characteristic was that it was suited for close combat, especially when the cavalry was at full speed, all their attacks and defenses were carried out in an instant. Just as Lin Zhuo was about to take back his spear, Chen Cang’s Pu Dao shot towards him along with Lin Zhuo’s spear shaft.
Because of the galloping of the warhorses, Lin Zhuo almost did not feel Chen Cang’s wind blades. He only felt a cold light flash by his waist, as if a cold wind was blowing in. Lin Zhuo unintentionally lowered his head, only to realise that his body was still floating in mid air, his mount had already brought him to the front of the horse.
The sky had just begun to brighten, and a faint mist loomed over the wilderness, revealing the bare branches of trees and withered weeds. As they approached the village, the mist thinned even more, and a few scrawny dogs huddled at the village entrance, staring in horror at the misty wilderness.
In that fog, there were more than a thousand war horses galloping through the wilderness. The cavalry on horseback were all disheveled and battered. Many of the riders even had knife wounds, and fresh blood had already dyed their battle robes red. The thick smell of blood wafted in the cold wind.
This troop of cavalrymen rushed across the wilderness straight towards the West Cold Army Camp. Under the lead of the scout, the cavalry soldiers entered the camp, the leading officers followed the scout into Li Ru’s tent.
“Reporting…” Military Advisor. Changjin Ferry Pass was ambushed by cavalry of Youzhou last night, and they used rockets to ignite the entire camp, even burning the boats at the ferry. Lord Commander Lin Zhuo died on the spot, and only a thousand of the three thousand cavalrymen escaped. More than twenty thousand soldiers died, and the survivors scattered. ”
“Ah …” Li Ru had just gotten up when he received the grievous news, and almost fainted. Lin Zhuo was a cautious person, so he sent Lin Zhuo to defend the Changjin. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the leader of the group, shouting, “Where is the food?” Where are our provisions? ”
He did not care whether Lin Zhuo died or not, even if all of the twenty thousand soldiers were dead, he did not care. Food and food were what he cared about the most, if he did not have any, he would be like the cavalry of Youzhou, or the Army of Montenegro, staying in the Hanoi County for less than three days.
“Military Advisor, the entire camp is on fire, the food must have been burnt too.” In fact, due to the haste of his escape, the leader did not see the granary catch fire. He only took it for granted that the reason the cavalry of Youzhou attacked Changjin was to burn down the rations.
“It’s over …” “We’re finished …” Hearing the leader say that, Li Ru also took it for granted that the purpose of the cavalry of Youzhou’s sneak attack was to burn down the West Cold Army’s rations, so that he could use the advantage of the number of people in the Army of Montenegro to finish the battle quickly. He couldn’t help but complain in his heart repeatedly.
Pass my order, order Wang Fang to immediately gather all the soldiers of the Huaixian Base Camp, prepare to defend against the cavalry of Youzhou’s attack. Order the Fu County Base Camp to Li Meng, prepare to attack and at the same time inform the army stationed at the south side of the Yellow River to gather all the boats, prepare to receive the soldiers at the north side of the Yellow River to cross the river.
Under the cover of the fog, a few cavalrymen flew across the wilderness, heading towards the cavalry of Youzhou’s camp. At the entrance of the camp, they were stopped by the Army of Montenegro soldiers who was guarding the camp. After a few questions, a few riders jumped onto their horses and rushed towards Yang Lin’s Big Account.
“Quick… There’s an urgent matter to report to Lord General. ” The few cavalrymen rushed down from their horses, and panted as they shouted to the guards at the entrance of the Big Account. From the dewy clothes they wore, it could be seen that they had traveled a long way.
“Lord General is waiting for you. Follow me.” The personal guards at the entrance also seemed to be waiting for them. They hurriedly waved at them and led them towards the back of the tent. After running a few steps, he saw Yang Lin and Taishi Ci practicing their blade skills in an empty space.
“Reporting…” The Lord General, Chen Cang and Liu Zhi, the two marquis, had ambushed the Changjin Ferry Pass overnight and had already occupied all the Changjin Camp’s Changjin Camp. He had originally wanted to gather some large carriages to transport the rations back, but he never thought that West Cold Army would rob him of so much rations that it was difficult to bring all of them within a few days. The two marquis specially requested Lord General to send someone to rush to Changjin Ferry Pass so that they can take control of the entire Changjin Camp. ” A few scout s stepped forward and said loudly.
Ever since he received Chen Cang and Liu Zhi’s reports last night, Yang Lin had not slept the entire night, and had been waiting for their news the entire time. In order to not alarm the Army of Montenegro, he had chosen an empty space early on to practice his sword techniques with Taishi Ci. On the surface, it looked like nothing had happened, but in reality, he was feeling extremely anxious.
“Hurry and inform the various large groups of Army of Montenegro. Order the large groups of Army of Montenegro s and above to immediately come to my Big Account for a meeting.” Yang Lin immediately sheathed his blade and ordered the herald beside him. Then, he walked over and started to ask Chen Cang and Liu Zhi for more information.
Not long later, all the big groups of Army of Montenegro’s, Inspector General’s, and Chief of Staff quickly arrived at Yang Lin’s Big Account s. It was densely packed as they filled the entire tent. Since he did not eat yesterday, Generals’s spirit was clearly exhausted, as he weakly stood there.
“Generals, let me tell you a piece of good news.” Yesterday afternoon, the West Cold Army intercepted our food brigade, causing us to suffer a great loss of food. But at night, our cavalry also attacked the Changjin Camp they kept and stocked up all their food, and seized all of their food. ” Yang Lin waved his hand and said excitedly.
“Great!” Zhang Yan cried out, she immediately walked forward and cupped her hands, and anxiously said: “Lord General, then what are we waiting for? “Hurry up and bring the provisions to our camp. The brothers haven’t eaten for a day and a night.”
“This is the problem, our cavalry has occupied the Changjin Ferry Pass, but there are no large carriages carrying food to the pheasant’s nest. Moreover, Changjin Ferry Pass was over a hundred miles away from here. If they waited for them to come, it would take at least a day. Especially since West Cold Army is nearby, I’m afraid that before they can even bring the food over, they will be intercepted by West Cold Army, and even Changjin Camp might be taken away by them. ” Yang Lin swept his eyes across the generals of Army of Montenegro and said solemnly.
“Why are we transporting the food to the pheasant’s nest? Isn’t that unnecessary?” Bai Rao also walked up and cupped his hands towards Yang Lingong, and said loudly: “Lord General, we will immediately set up camp and rush to Changjin Ferry Pass. If it was just a little bit later, the West Cold Army might have snatched it away. ”
Yang Lin was waiting for those words, he also stood up and said loudly: “Master Bai Rao’s suggestion is good, but, if we all set off, we would definitely be attacked by the West Cold Army halfway. That’s why I think we should send a few cavalry brigade s as vanguards to the Changjin Ferry Pass to protect our food. The other army will monitor the movements in the West Cold Army, and when the vanguard arrives in the Changjin Ferry Pass, they will send cavalry with food to support the army. ”
Maybe because she was hungry, Zhang Yan did not care too much and agreed immediately: “Lord General is right, I am willing to be the vanguard, leading three large groups as the vanguard, immediately heading to Changjin, and protecting Changjin Ferry Pass’s safety.”
“No, West Cold Army has over thirty thousand cavalrymen, and you only have three large squadrons of foot soldiers, it’s not even enough for one strike from them.” Yang Lin waved his hands and said to Zhang Yan: “How about this, your twelve large teams will set off in three different directions at the same time. Other than your weapons, weapons, and bows and arrows, do not bring anything else with you, rushing to Changjin Ferry Pass at the fastest speed possible. If I meet West Cold Cavalry, I’ll stay here and group up with him. The other two paths will continue to rush to Changjin Ferry Pass. ”
Once Zhang Yan, Bai Rao, Wu Gu, Chen Lin, Yellow Dragon, and the generals from the left wing Black Hills s had left, Yang Lin immediately said to Yang Feng, Yu Du, Tao Sheng, Liu Shan, Lei Gongzi and the other Generals s in the five elements alliance, “West Cold Army has lost the Changjin Ferry Pass, they will definitely send troops to attack. Therefore, the Five Elements Desolate Domain’s soldiers had to immediately gather together and set up camp. They were to attack the West Cold Army Camp and drag him down to the Huaixian. You have to make it clear to the soldiers that this is a battle for provisions. No matter how hungry we are, we have to endure for a day. If we win this battle, everyone will have a full meal, and if we lose, the food will be taken away by the enemy, and even if we don’t get beaten to death, we will be starved to death. “
