It won''t be because Dong Shou, the Marquis of Qin Mu, led the king''s army in Hexi to ride and stare at Chen Hai. They won''t cross the xiaolianshui river.
Chen Haidu doubted whether the camp at the West foot of Ganquan could last another day, so it would only take one night to raid Guoling camp.
If it is delayed until tomorrow, the camp at the Western foot of Ganquan mountain has been completely broken by the main force of Xiyuan army led by Ying Wang. At that time, some of the main force of Xiyuan army will move north along the Western foot of Ganquan mountain, meet with the king Qin army on the North wing, detour back to the Northeast foot of Ganquan mountain from the gap between Ganquan mountain and Huapu mountain, and intercept the North fleeing troops of Heiyan army, It''s too late.
In only one night, 30000 cavalry should first break through the interception of the king Qin army in Hexi, firmly stick to the vision of other king Qin armies in the north wing, and attract as many pursuers, sentries and spirit birds as possible to Shishuling. Then 3000 elite should sneak to 2450 miles away from the torn hole and the chaos deliberately created by 30000 cavalry, Break through the camp of Xiyuan army in guoguoling.
Only Dong Shousuo, the Marquis of Qin Mu, led 30000 Hexi iron cavalry, while the other two Qin Wang armies stayed in place and continued to stare at xiaolianshui city. Of course, a large number of sentinels and scouts on the southwest bank were attracted. All the situation did not deviate from their prior expectations. Chen Hai and Ning chaner retreated and met Huang Shuang and Le Yi, indicating that the army could forcibly go west, Force Hexi cavalry to shrink back and make way for them to enter the West.
There was only a faint light between heaven and earth. Chen Hai and Ning chaner could see each other''s faces through the very weak light.
Huang Shuang led 3000 elite soldiers to attack Guoling with Chen Hai and Ning chaner; And Le Yi will lead 30000 cavalry to attack shishiling, creating chaos and attracting attention.
Yue Yi''s cultivation is the middle stage of Qiaojing, but when it comes to controlling the battlefield, he is above Huang Shuang, so he is responsible for leading 30000 cavalry; Three thousand elite rushed to Guoling. Huang Shuang, a strong man in the middle of daodan territory, can play a better role.
Heavy fog, heavy snow and the night in heaven and earth cover everything. Only the mysterious divine consciousness and the keen six senses of the disciples of the spirit realm can distinguish the ice and snow road under their feet from different distances. Ordinary generals can only grope forward when the night falls.
As Chen Hai expected, 30000 cavalry suddenly crossed xiaolianshui River, and 30000 elite of the Hexi King Qin army did not rush up. Led by Dong Shou, the main force of the king Qin army in Hexi not only contracted back in time, but even divided a large number of soldiers to get off their horses and form an array, lit bonfires everywhere, and tried to light up the night when they could not see their fingers, so as to prevent the cavalry of the black Yan army from killing them suddenly and completely disturb the formation of both sides.
In that case, in addition to the strong people above Mingqiao territory who can distinguish between the enemy and us, ordinary soldiers are killed indiscriminately. Even if the Hexi iron cavalry is more elite, it is difficult to control the casualties.
This is a situation that Qin Mu Hou Dong Shou would never like to see.
Chen Hai and others are desperate. As long as they can ensure that 3000 elite can successfully dive to the north of Guoling, even if 30000 cavalry are completely disordered and sacrificed, they don''t care, but Dong Shou doesn''t dare to play with them like this.
However, although Dong Shou said he was grumpy, he was not so fooled.
Dong Shou saw that after crossing the xiaolianshui River, the cavalry of the black Yan army did not hide at night, but continued to grope and advance to the West. He also vaguely guessed the intention of the cavalry of the black Yan army.
Dong Shou would not risk the destruction of the whole army and press all his 30000 Hexi iron cavalry, but he would not be helpless. He really let the 30000 cavalry of the black Yan army rush in front of his eyes and nose, immediately divide two thousand people to ride a bow and attack from the flank.
The two armies are only a thousand steps away from each other. They still can''t see the shadow of each other, but in the roaring wind and snow, they have clearly heard each other''s stumble in the snow and the roaring of horses.
At this time, both sides opened their bows and arrows in the dark. They heard the dense feather arrows flying through the wind and snow, and soon returned the crisp sound of hitting the armor or the dull sound of drilling into the body.
When people fell to the ground and horses ran away, they soon became a mess.
"Run west..."
"Run west..."
"Meet at Shishuling..."
"Attack stone rat ridge after dawn..."
The black Yan army made a mess of soldiers and cavalry, but military orders were clearly conveyed, urging all confused soldiers not to stop fighting, nor to care about the pursuers behind them, but to destroy the straddling horses and run west to the stone mouse ridge, the purpose of the war.
In the night when you can''t see your fingers, as long as you can roughly confirm a direction, it''s not as chaotic as in the picture. Against the wind and snow, you''ll ride westward. In contrast, the Hexi fine horse behind you won''t speed up the chase.
Dong Shou''s face was as cold as a rock carved in the reflection of the campfire. He stared at the dark and ink like night. The atmosphere around him was chaotic. No matter how sharp his divine sense was, it was also chaotic at this time. The only thing that could be made clear was that thousands of war horses were staggering towards the camp of King Qin''s army in Shishuling in Hexi.
If he decisively took advantage of the chaos to hide and kill at this time, a big victory would be indispensable, but he was reluctant to bear the loss of his lineal cavalry. He could only bear it.
"The black Yan army''s attack on shishiling can''t solve any problems. Besides, we still have two thousand troops and horses in shishiling, which should be able to support a small half day..." sun quanzong walked to Dong Shou and said in a deep voice. He also hoped that Dong Shou could lead the main force to stay calm at the edge of the river valley, be patient, and wait until dawn to really find out the purpose of the black Yan army, and then take action.
Even if all the signs show that the cavalry who started from xiaolianshui City ran to the stone mouse ridge to cover up the past, sun quanzong still does not advocate easy recklessness.
More than 30000 cavalry of the black Yan army are in a mess. Even if they can arrive at the stone mouse ridge at dawn, it will take a lot of time to assemble and reorganize the cavalry. They stay in the river valley for the night and set out after dawn. They should be able to catch up with the cavalry of the black Yan army. There is no need to take risks at night.
"Will it be the so-called attack on the stone mouse ridge or a cover? The real purpose of the enemy soldiers is to see that the situation is gone and want to escape west across the stone mouse ridge?" Du Junfeng hesitated.
At this moment, there was a roar in the night sky. Soon, Li Yulin came to see Dong Shou under the guidance of Hu Wei: "Marquis Li suspects that the enemy''s change may be intended for Guoling..." Li Yulin came to convey Li Xianghai''s speculation and hopes that Dong Shou, marquis mu of Qin, can pay attention to the black Yan army at the north foot of Ganquan mountain and may boldly attack Guoling.
Du Junfeng frowned slightly and said, "in such a heavy snow tonight, twenty or thirty thousand cavalry of the black Yan army have been in a mess. Maybe they can get to the periphery of Shishuling to reorganize their formation at dawn, but it is impossible to get to Guoling 2780 miles away before dawn."
Dong Shou didn''t think that Guoling might be attacked secretly, but he didn''t believe that the leader of the black Yan army at the north foot was really determined to sacrifice his life for justice. In his opinion, it must be the leader of the black Yan army at the north foot who wanted to run for his life, but he had no excuse to escape to Songdu mountain in the northeast at this time. He could only escape to the west by attacking shishiling.
At this time, a military official came over and told Dong Shou that he had just severely interrogated more than ten enemy soldiers who had fallen or shot. These black Yan army riders also admitted that the target of tonight''s attack was Shishuling.
As for whether the commander of the black Yan army at the north foot has any other purpose, but it can be confirmed that the first stop of the 30000 cavalry at dawn is Shishuling.
Dong Shou pondered for a long time and felt that the main cavalry around him should not move around. He ordered Li Xianghai, Jiang ang and other 6000 elite cavalry to monitor Qiushi and other strongholds, and rushed back to Shishuling at night to ensure that Shishuling was not lost. At the same time, he kept an eye on the 30000 cavalry of the black Yan army, so as not to give them a chance to escape to the West.
Li Yulin was just about to be ordered to join Uncle Li Xianghai. At this time, the black Yan army was in six or seven defense strongholds along the northeast coast of xiaolianshui. For a time, it was burning into the sky. It vaguely saw that there were six or seven troops, ranging from two to three thousand people, all crossing the xiaolianshui river against the wind and snow.
"Damn it!" Dong Shou scolded angrily.
In the daytime, these weak soldiers and horses crossing the xiaolianshui river only need to send three or five hundred elite to annihilate them. However, at this time, the king Qin of Hexi scattered along the xiaolianshui River to monitor the small-scale cavalry of the black Yan army stronghold, but he could not shrink to Shishuling while it was dark. He could only let Sun quanzong send 8000 elite cavalry from this part and go to Shishuling first at night.
Chen Hai did not continue to march westward with the main cavalry. After crossing the xiaolianshui River, they stopped behind a chaotic Stone Ridge not far from the river.
Although the three thousand elite have the cultivation foundation of tongxuan realm, the fierce soldiers of tongxuan realm can''t see things at night. Chen Hai and other major generals pasted a shimmering seal character on their shoulders, which gathered 3000 elite together, so as not to be scattered in the chaos just now.
Fangzhai along xiaolianshui river suddenly sent troops to kill xiaolianshui River, which was not arranged by Chen Hai in advance. Chen Hai realized that there were a group of generals in the middle and lower levels, regardless of their shortcomings, whether the red eyebrow sect or the black Yan army, who had the spirit of sacrifice.
The six or seven route soldiers and horses killed from these strongholds are actually extremely weak. Taking advantage of the chaos can attract the attention of Hexi Qin Wang army, sentry horses and spirit birds. However, if they can''t withdraw from the stronghold in time at dawn, they can''t escape the fate of being destroyed.
Chen Hai''s blood also silently has a heat flow surging. He nods to Huang Shuang. It''s time for them to move.
It was precisely the change of the anti stronghold troops on the 6th and 7th road that attracted the sentinels and marquees on the West Bank of the xiaolianshui River and the spirit birds lurking in the night sky. Chen Hai and them sneaked all the way. By dawn, they had entered a dense forest on the northwest side of Guoling.
In the dense forest, Chen Hai and Huang Shuang put on the robes and armor of the Xiyuan Army
