Xiao Chuyun nodded slightly, his expression still gloomy.
"Next, there is another big battle. You all know how important the outcome of this battle is, even if I don't tell you!"
"Therefore, I ask each of you to give up any hope of survival."
"With the determination to die, face the coming war!"
"Can you guys do this?"
All the generals shouted in unison.
"able!"
Xiao Chuyun shouted, "Speak louder, this general can't hear you!"
The generals shouted again: "Yes!"
The sound suddenly increased several times.
Xiao Chuyun nodded in satisfaction: "Okay! Go and prepare, let the brothers take the time to rest!"
After everyone left, Xiao Chuyun took another deep breath and looked at the few close followers and staff around him.
A middle-aged staff member said: "General, we have now successfully occupied the station."
"Do you think we need to change the previous battle plan?"
"Although our army is powerful, if there are more barbaric soldiers coming later, our advantage will not be so obvious."
Simply considering the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the war horses, without considering other factors.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Xiao Chuyun's eyes flashed: "What do you mean?"
The aide said, "In my opinion, why don't we stay here and fight a defensive battle."
"With our army's combat capability, this can achieve greater results than fighting a pursuit battle."
"Moreover, if we occupy this stronghold, we will completely paralyze the enemy's food supply."
"They must be taken back!"
Xiao Chuyun nodded slightly.
However, after pondering for a moment, he finally shook his head.
“No!”
"Now, the enemy also has thunder bombs in their hands."
"Although in terms of power, it is not comparable to our thunder bomb."
“But we don’t know how many there are.”
"If the enemy has a large number of bombs, our troops will stay at the station and the enemy won't even need to charge."
"As long as we continue to throw bombs, it will cause huge casualties to our army."
"Our biggest disadvantage is that we don't have an advantage in terms of manpower."
“Therefore, we must never fight a defensive battle.”
"We still have to proceed according to the original plan. We only need one battle to completely defeat the two countries."
"All the stations along this 600-mile trade route belong to us."
"When that time comes, we can have whatever we want!"
After hearing what Xiao Chuyun said, the staff nodded repeatedly.
"The general is indeed far-sighted. I have learned a lot from him."
Xiao Chuyun snorted and laughed, looking at the other party and said: "You old boy, stop flattering me in such a meaningless way."
"I just don't believe that you can't see this simple thing?"
"I've told you many times that this general is not the kind of person who likes to flatter others."
"Although your flattery is very good, this general still doesn't like it!"
The middle-aged staff member bowed and apologized quickly: "Yes, I will remember it."
…
At midnight, scouts came to report that the Yue army from the north and south were less than a hundred miles away from the fourth garrison.
A hundred miles, if it is during the day, is not even a distance for cavalry.
Especially on this grassland.
At night, the travel speed is slightly slower, but it is only a matter of one to two hours.
After receiving the report, Xiao Chuyun immediately ordered the army to march out.
The captured baggage, war horses, weapons and other items have already been sent away.
The army left its base and did not move very fast.
About an hour later, the army caught up with the team transporting the baggage.
However, at this moment, the two armies of Yue State had already caught up from two directions.
They did not run to the fourth outpost, but after receiving the news of the Gan army's retreat, they changed their route and intercepted them.
Seeing the approaching of pursuers, Xiao Chuyun decisively ordered his men to abandon the captured baggage and fled forward with only the war horses.
Seeing that Gan's army was about to escape, the Yue army, which had already entered the river, under the command of the Crown Prince of Yue, chased them frantically.
On the Gan army's side, all the war horses were equipped with horseshoes.
In theory, as long as they speed up, they can immediately leave the Yue army behind.
However, they cannot do this and have to control the speed all the time.
Keep the two armies five to ten miles apart at all times.
In this way, the race lasted from midnight to almost dawn, and both armies had suffered heavy losses.
Xiao Chuyun took action.
He ordered all the soldiers to throw out all the caltrops they were carrying.
Not long after, the neighing of war horses was heard from behind.
Hearing this voice, everyone smiled.
The Yue army was indeed tricked.
Xiao Chuyun waved his hand and ordered everyone to turn their horses around and charge towards the Vietnamese army.
At this moment, the Yue army had been badly harmed by the caltrops.
The warhorse was completely unable to move.
Many war horses even fell to the ground due to pain.
After falling to the ground, he immediately caused panic among the marching team.
Seeing this situation, the Crown Prince of Yue was shocked and immediately asked someone to ask what had happened.
Soon, someone brought caltrops to him.
He took the bloody caltrop in his hand and felt its hardness.
The Crown Prince of Yue suddenly looked extremely ugly.
However, his reaction was very quick, and in just a moment he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Immediately, he ordered the army to stop the pursuit and retreat towards the garrison.
However, at the moment he gave the order, Xiao Chuyun led the Gan Kingdom's army and rushed back.
Fifteen thousand troops rushed into the army of seventy thousand.
The war horses of the Gan army were as fast as a whirlwind, and the swords in their hands were like divine weapons from heaven.
Facing the Yue soldiers, they started slaughtering them directly.
Seeing this scene, the Crown Prince of Yue could hardly believe his eyes.
"This... How is this possible? What weapons are they using?"
"Why is it so strong?"
He saw with his own eyes that a cavalryman of the Gan army raised his sword high in the process of rapid charge.
He chopped at a Vietnamese soldier.
The Vietnamese soldier also reacted quite quickly.
Seeing this, he quickly raised the saber in his hand and made a blocking gesture.
However, the soldier still raised his sword and chopped off the sword in the Vietnamese soldier's hand, and also smashed his head.
It's simply too scary and too unbelievable.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the crazy shouts and cries of the soldiers.
On the other hand, the army of Yue was immediately dispersed and disrupted.
The Crown Prince of Yue immediately ordered his men to organize a counterattack and control the soldiers under his command.
However, if one side lacks fighting spirit and is not fully prepared, it will be difficult to organize such a fight between cavalrymen.
The only thing waiting for them is to be slaughtered.
