20demayo Chapter 401
Chapter 401
The barbarian cavalry is notorious. They not only have fierce fighting power, but also are extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. Their destructive power is even more terrifying. Therefore, they have always been deeply feared by all countries.
However, these barbarians are not good at production, construction and management. Every time they launch an invasion, they are mainly plundering. They have never occupied a city and are unwilling to leave.
This abnormal phenomenon has caused the Liang court to fall into extreme anxiety.
If the barbarian cavalry attacks on a large scale at this time and cooperates with the Zhenbei Army, then Liang will undoubtedly face huge pressure.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the problem of manpower.
The Zhenbei Army is already strong, and Liang has tried its best to deal with it.
If there is a "shit stirrer" who is causing trouble everywhere and constantly invading, then Liang will inevitably be exhausted and unable to resist.
Faced with such a severe situation, the Liang court held several urgent meetings. After a heated discussion, it finally made an important decision - to send people to contact the barbarians.
As long as the barbarians agreed to withdraw and give up cooperation with the Zhenbei Army, Liang was willing to provide them with a large amount of food and other supplies in exchange.
Even if it could successfully win over the barbarians and make them assist Liang in attacking the Zhenbei Army, Liang would not hesitate to pay a higher price.
When the resolution was finalized, Liang immediately sent envoys to the front line, hoping to reach an agreement with the barbarians as soon as possible to resolve the crisis.
Although Liang's idea was good, it was doomed to be futile.
Liang itself was also worried about such a situation. After sending envoys, the army in the rear also began to mobilize.
Fortunately, the barbarian cavalry began to occupy the city this time. In this way, the barbarian cavalry also lost its advantage of strong mobility, creating a glimmer of opportunity for Liang's counterattack.
In just a few days, the barbarians had occupied half of the state, and they were still expanding their territory and expanding their war results.
At this time, the envoys of Liang State finally arrived at the barbarian settlement after hardships.
They hurriedly told the other party their identities and intentions, and expressed their willingness to negotiate peace with the barbarians.
"Let them go back."
However, Wei Qing had no intention of meeting them, but coldly ordered them to get out.
In this way, the envoys were sent away without even seeing Wei Qing.
Despite this, the envoys of Liang State did not give up easily. They tried all kinds of ways, and even tried to bribe some barbarian generals with a lot of money, but unfortunately, no one was willing to pay attention to them.
In the end, this group of boring envoys had no choice but to embark on their return journey. Along the way, they reported the current situation of the barbarians to the court truthfully.
After hearing the news, the Emperor of Liang was shocked and angry: "What's wrong with these barbarians? What kind of magic potion did the people in the north give them? I don't believe that there are barbarians in this world that can't be bought with money!"
The Emperor of Liang really couldn't understand why the barbarians, who had always been greedy and selfish and had no sense of national justice and country, became so difficult to buy this time.
So he thought that the envoy was incompetent, and immediately ordered a severe punishment for the unlucky guy, and then sent another group of envoys to the barbarian camp.
While the envoys were running back and forth, Wei Qing had been expanding the results of the war.
And the envoys of Liang were unable to meet the barbarian leaders after all.
At this point, the Liang court completely gave up, knowing that this war was inevitable, and began to mobilize the power of the whole country and mobilized the army to rush to the front line.
At this time, the Zhenbei Army led by Yang Zaixing began to act.
In order to cooperate with Yang Zaixing, Wei Qing handed over the elite Han cavalry to Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing handed over the border defense command to Guan Zhong, and personally led the Han cavalry to break through the Liang army's defense line and killed the Liang army behind.
Yang Zaixing's purpose was to harass, and the target was mainly the Liang army's food route.
As long as the food route was cut off, the Liang army on the front line would collapse.
The chief general of the Liang army was a prince from the royal family. Naturally, he knew the importance of the food route and immediately sent his most capable general to lead the most elite cavalry of Liang to chase and kill Yang Zaixing.
With the cooperation of the infantry and various cities, the Liang cavalry tried to limit the range of activities of the Han cavalry, and strive to besiege and kill them in one fell swoop.
"It seems that we must fight a hard battle."
Being in the heart of Liang, without supplies and unable to fight for a long time, Yang Zaixing knew that in order to change this situation, he must kill the Liang cavalry, otherwise these cavalry will keep biting them and fail to achieve their strategic goals.
On a wide official road, a large-scale cavalry with more than oneThe grain transport team of 10,000 people was hurrying on the road.
These soldiers were nervous and hurried because they had learned that the Zhenbei Army cavalry had appeared nearby, and they were full of worry and fear.
They knew that they might be attacked by the enemy, so they acted with extra caution.
"Kill..."
At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly came from a distance. What you fear is what you get.
A cavalry of about 10,000 people swept in like a hurricane, and their target was this grain transport team.
Faced with the sudden attack, the soldiers of the grain transport team were panicked, but they quickly calmed down and responded quickly.
A general shouted loudly: "It's here! Brothers, you must hold on, our reinforcements will be here soon."
At the same time, he hurriedly shouted to a soldier next to him: "Quick, send a signal to notify other troops immediately."
In an instant, a flaming arrow broke through the sky and rushed to the sky.
In the distance, dust was flying, and countless cavalry came like a tide.
It turned out that the Liang army had already made preparations.
To be more precise, all of this was a trap carefully designed by the Liang army.
They had long expected that the Zhenbei army would come to attack the grain transport team, so they deployed ambushes in advance, waiting for the Zhenbei army to fall into the trap.
At this time, the armies of both sides began to fight fiercely, with swords flashing and shouts of killing resounding through the sky.
How could the Liang army not know the target of the Zhenbei army? Instead of searching aimlessly, it is better to wait for the opportunity and take the initiative to set a trap.
Seeing that the Zhenbei army really appeared, the Liang army was excited and finally they could deal with this group of elusive guys.
"General, the enemy really fell into the trap."
As long as they killed this cavalry, the Liang army could solve a big problem.
"Order the decoy troops to hold on. You lead 50,000 cavalry to kill this Zhenbei Army. Give them enough pressure, while leaving hope to attract more Zhenbei Army."
"Be sure to grasp this balance. Don't let them run away, but don't end the battle too quickly. I will lead the main force to continue the ambush and wait for more Zhenbei Army to show up."
This general wanted to expand the results of the battle and didn't want to end the battle too quickly.
The war broke out, but the Liang general didn't know that behind him, Yang Zaixing led 90,000 Zhenbei Army and was ready. Yang Zaixing's target was the main force of the Liang Army who thought they were well hidden.
