Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 73 Raid
Once the tactics were set, the entire guard army moved. After all the materials were prepared, the entire guard army left 5000 people to guard the base camp just in case, and the remaining 2 people went to the target location in a mighty manner. .

The target point this time is a small lake. Although the lake is not big, it is the only water source within a hundred miles of the grasslands in the southern part of the country entering Yunzhou County.

By the time the army arrived at their destination, it was already the sixth day since the news came.

According to intelligence, the Hegel Department will lead an army to invade Yunzhou County early tomorrow morning, and they will arrive here at most the day after tomorrow based on the distance calculation.

After having people explore the entire terrain of this water source, Ding Hongguang ordered all the infantry to find another place to station, leaving only the cavalry to station here.

This is not a place suitable for defense. In addition, they have few people, so they only need to leave cavalry units with sufficient mobility.

In this way, [-] cavalry of the ten armies were left with [-] cavalry stationed nearby, and the remaining [-] cavalry left with the army to adapt to the situation.

The remaining [-] troops erased the traces they had brought and found a hiding place to hide.

If it is really difficult to hide on weekdays, there is nowhere to hide on the open grassland, but it happens that it is snowing, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. This time they came out and brought white cloths for concealment. Cover the remote places with a white cloth, and no one will be able to find them unless they go up to check carefully.

Time passed, and on the second day after the guards arrived at this water source, the Hegel Department, which had completed the convening, came to Yunzhou County with [-] cavalry in a mighty manner.

And arrived near the water source the next day.

Gebatu Hegel frowned looking at the white scenery in the distance, then turned to the man next to him and asked, "Gesang, are you sure there is a water source nearby?"

The army dispatched must be familiar with the road on the way to facilitate the army's supply. Gebatu found a "local man" who used to be the closest to Yunzhou County as a guide.

This guy's tribe had previously secretly traded with the four major families in Yunzhou County, and he was familiar with the surroundings.

When Gesang heard the words, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "Great Gebatu Khan, don't worry, everything Gesang said is true, and you can swear to Changshengtian!
That water source must be nearby, but it's snowing heavily now, so it's hard to find. If it was normal, the pearl-like lake would have caught our eyes long ago! "

Gebatu believed what Gesang said, and he also believed that the other party would not dare to deceive him. He looked around, identified it with years of grassland experience, and asked Gesang next to him for some details. Batu set the direction, and the army marched towards the southwest.

As expected, the personality Batu, who lived on the grassland all year round, was heading in the direction of the water source, but within a quarter of an hour, the army could already see the lake surface reflecting the crystal light from a distance.

And the movement of the [-] army has already alarmed the [-] guards stationed nearby, and they have already quietly circled behind...

Seeing the surface of the lake, Gebatu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the real existence of the water source. It is no wonder that he brought a full 5 people, and all the fighting forces in the tribe came out. If he died of thirst on the road because he could not find the water source, then he would It's really ridiculous.

As for the freezing of the lake, this is not a big deal, just break the ice.

This territory has not yet entered Yunzhou County, so Gebatu was not very vigilant. When he saw the lake, he immediately let the army move towards the lake and began to station to replenish the water bag. It was already getting late, and it seemed that he was about to go tonight. Stationed here.

When nearly [-] cavalrymen got off their horses one after another, smashing ice, setting up tents, and replenishing water sources, they did not notice that the hunter who had been waiting for a long time showed a ferocious smile.

A cavalry of 7000 people quietly got out, and launched a surprise attack on them when they were unprepared!
In the camp, Gebatu looked at the surrounding ground with some doubts, looked down, squatted down and picked up a smear of black ash to look at it.

This is the trace left by someone who cooked something here. It seems that this trace was left only recently, otherwise it would have been blown away long ago.

With a buzz, an incredible idea appeared in his mind. Gebatu's expression changed instantly. He turned his head and saw that the soldiers around him had dismounted and started to station. It's too late now!

Boom!Boom!Boom!
At the originally silent distant horizon, a roar sounded. Anyone who is familiar with this sound can immediately recognize that it is the sound that can only be made by big horses galloping together.

At this moment, not only Gebatu realized that something was wrong, but the Hegel cavalry who were doing other things also realized the danger. Those who were close to the horses immediately remounted, and those who were far away quickly ran towards their horses.

However, time was running out.

In such an emergency, only a few people returned to their horses. Before most of them had time to return to their horses, the cavalry of the guard battalion had already rushed towards their camp!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get on your horse! Get on your horse!"

The entire Hegel camp was in a mess, and those who got on their horses quickly approached Khan Gebatu who was shouting loudly, while the others who were not on their horses were desperately looking for horses.

They knew that if they were unable to mount their horses in the face of cavalry, then they and others could only become fish on the board of others and be slaughtered by others.

They couldn't find their own horses, so some people just grabbed a random horse and used it, and this also made the already chaotic camp even more chaotic.

In this chaotic situation, the cavalry of the guard army cut into their camp like a red hot knife cutting into cheese!

Bang bang bang!
Ahhhhh!
The tyrannical charge of the horse knocked away objects blocking the front one by one. Where the horse passed, the one-meter-long sharpened cavalry knife in the hands of the cavalry of the guard battalion only needed to tilt the edge outward and place it on the side of the horse. Wherever it passes, everything nearby will be cut with a long wound by this cavalry knife carrying momentum!

Regardless of whether you are wearing leather armor or iron armor, all beings are equal in front of this cavalry sword made of fine steel, only to be cut open in a burst of fine iron.

Usually, the angle at which the cavalry puts the cavalry knife corresponds to the neck position of a normal person standing. The defense here is already weak, which leads to the horrible scene where the cavalry pass by with scattered heads everywhere!
"rush!"

This time the cavalry was commanded by Guan Ning, the deputy commander of the guard army. After his own side pierced Hegel's camp, Guan Ning led the cavalry around a semicircle and changed direction. The gathered Hegel Ministry issued an order!
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry of the guard battalion followed him again and went to the camp of the Hegel Ministry!

After they pierced Hegel's troops again, Hegel's troops had already gathered some 3000 cavalrymen and rushed towards them.

Guan Ning looked back at the camp that was pierced again by his own troops. Although the losses were heavy, a certain order had gradually been restored. Knowing that there was no chance, he gave the order to retreat.

The [-] guard cavalry galloped back into the distance.

Hegel's troops alone left corpses all over the ground, countless casualties, and a mess all over the place.

Seeing that they were about to run away, Gebatu was in time. Even if one of his subordinates, Wan Hu, led the [-] cavalry that had been rectified, they chased after them. Where it is, it is also easy to fight back.

The other is to prevent the opponent from going back and forth to give them another surprise attack.

But he himself stayed where he was and continued to organize the camp and gather warriors.

In this way, under the leadership of Wan Hu, the three thousand Hegel cavalry who had just gathered chased in the direction where the guard battalion cavalry left.

Although there are few people, they are not trying to annihilate the enemy and fight the enemy head-on. They are just monitoring. The appointed Wanhu is still confident about this.

Guan Ning quickly noticed the cavalry following behind him. After a little thought, he came up with a plan. He called one of his subordinates and gave some instructions. After his subordinates left, he immediately turned around and led a group of subordinates to lead the "guests" behind him. "They circled around...
