Chapter 591 Let the Opponent Have Nowhere to Go
The existence of Hu Yanqiu was the key to the implementation of Ouyang Shuo's "war to support war" tactic.
The current prairie is like the back garden of Shanhai City.
Once Di Chen's whereabouts were revealed, it would be difficult to escape Ouyang Shuo's pursuit. With the Xiongnu descending soldiers as outposts, there is nothing to hide from the every move of Dichen's troops.
Soon, an ambush plan against Di Chen's department was drawn up.
...
The morning of the tenth day of the campaign.
Di Chen was leading his troops, marching on the prairie.
After the ambush was over, Di Chen, Zhan Lang and Sha Po Jun parted ways.
The other lords were either defeated and withdrew from the battle; or abstained and concentrated on side quests; In the entire prairie, there are no more lords accompanying them.
Everyone knows that this battle has reached a critical moment. The so-called allies can become enemies at any time. Instead of this, it is better to go on the road alone.
The problem is that not every army has such a powerful Shenwuwei. Not every army has a senior guide like Hu Yanqiu. Not to mention any army can copy Huo Qubing's genius tactics.
The menacing Hun cavalry made all the alien legions taste the bitter fruit.
Along the way, at least six lords were defeated by the Huns cavalry and completely withdrew from the battle.
Even the most dazzling Shapojun, because Zhou Yafu was killed, and the three thousand Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with Shenwuwei, and were unfortunately wiped out in a confrontation with the Huns cavalry.
In the same way, after breaking through the siege with difficulty, Xunlong Dianxue and his troops, like Ouyang Shuo, unfortunately encountered a Hun cavalry.
Even Zhang Liao's troops were struggling to survive.
That's why they didn't rush to the appointed place to meet Ouyang Shuo.
On the other hand, Dichen was lucky.
Under the command of the veteran Lian Po, his troops passed through all the way, and there are still more than 2,000 people left.
Among them, there is also Dichen's cunning.
In the previous encirclement and suppression battle, Dichen led his troops and did not try to stop them at all. The real tough bones are all gnawed by the allied forces who have been bought by money.
Di Chen is sitting back and enjoying the success, otherwise, he will not be at ease so far.
Now, Dichen's good luck finally came to an end.
A scene similar to the Great Encirclement and Suppression was staged again on the prairie.
Three thousand soldiers of the Huns, together with the nearly full-staffed Shenwu Guards, launched a sudden attack on Dichen's tribe.
"No clothes!"
Di Chen immediately recognized the Golden Dragon Banner of Shanhai City, and he was not surprised. His first thought, like Ouyang Shuo's before, was to lead his troops to break through the encirclement.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo didn't give him this chance.
The ambush location chosen by Hu Yanqiu was extremely ingenious. On the left and right sides, there are small hills; not far in front, there is a lake. As for the rear, it was the point where the Huns cavalry stormed.
Immediately, Dichen's department was surrounded by many siege, unable to escape.
As expected of a veteran, Lian Po immediately sensed the unfavorable situation on the battlefield and reported to Di Chen, "Master, the terrain is extremely unfavorable to our army this time, and it may be difficult to break through."
When Di Chen heard this, his face turned pale.
His first reaction was to think of Zhou Yafu who was forcibly killed by Qi Yue Wuyi not long ago. Could it be that, Qiyue Wuyi, is he going to kill them all again this time?
Thinking of this, Di Chen frowned.
If Lian Po was killed, Dichen couldn't even imagine what kind of impact it would have on Handan City.
Although during this period of time, Handan City has recruited extremely king-level generals, but the veteran Lian Po has always been the pillar and backbone of Handan City's army.
Once Lian Po fell, the Handan City army would have to retreat for at least half a year.
This heavy price was beyond Di Chen's ability to bear.
The problem is, six thousand versus two thousand.
No matter how brave Lian Po was, Dichen's troops were beaten and retreated steadily.
"No, I will never allow it." Seeing that the situation was not right, Di Chen's eyes flashed with determination, and he held the saber at his waist tightly in his hand.
"General, are you sure you can break out?"
Di Chen asked Lian Po, as if making a final confirmation.
Lian Po is by no means a reckless person, knowing that the Lord's question must have a deep meaning, he did not dare to deceive him at all, and said in a shy voice: "Master, the chance of breaking through is probably less than 30%."
"Is that so?" Di Chen muttered to himself.
With a 30% certainty, it would have been possible if it had been two years ago when Dichen was still in high spirits. Now, with Di Chen's cautious personality, he dared not give it a go.
"If that's the case, let's quit!" After Di Chen finished speaking, he turned the sword upside down in his hand and killed himself.
His actions were so decisive that Lian Po on one side couldn't stop him.
Once Dichen died, the rest of Handan City was automatically sent out of the battle map. Di Chen saved Lian Po's life through such an extreme method.
In comparison, Sha Pojun is more than fierce, but lacks Dichen's determination.
When Sha Pojun was still hesitating, when he was still expecting to lead his troops to rescue Zhou Yafu, when he was still having extravagant hopes for Huo Qubing, Zhou Yafu was already killed by Ouyang Shuo in an instant.
This is the gap.
If you are lucky, it is difficult to give up your desires, which is actually a big taboo for the lords.
Seeing Dichen's department disappear suddenly, Ouyang Shuo naturally understood what happened, and couldn't help but feel a bit chilled by Dichen's determination.
An opponent who knows how to choose and can afford to let go is very terrifying.
...
The battle to encircle and suppress Dichen ended, but it was not the finale of Ouyang Shuo's plan.
From this, other thoughts of Ouyang Shuo were born.
Now that the battle has progressed, he is not in a hurry and went to catch up with Huo Qubing's department. Ouyang Shuo's plan was to carry out a large-scale hunting operation in the rear of Huo Qubing's headquarters.
If all the lords can be encircled and wiped out, the final winner will naturally be Shanhai City.
This logic doesn't have to be too simple.
What Ouyang Shuo relied on was the surrender of the Xiongnu.
Apart from Hu Yanqiu, Ouyang Shuo has discovered a lot of talents in these strokes.
Yes, good at tracking.
Yes, good at concealment.
Also, these soldiers of the Huns are local snakes on the prairie.
With Xiaobai's cooperation, Ouyang Shuo was confident, surrounded Huo Qubing's department, found the other lords one by one, and encircled and suppressed them on the spot.
After hearing Ouyang Shuo's plan, Zhao Kuo was speechless for a while.
Zhao Kuo must admit that there is still a huge gap between his vision and that of Junhou.
This kind of tactics has broken away from the category of "supporting war with war".
Next, Ouyang Shuo's plan was officially implemented.
Now that the battle has progressed, there will never be more than four surviving alien legions on Huo Qubing's route, excluding Shanhai City.
That's why Ouyang Shuo can afford to waste time.
On the first day of the plan, an army of aliens was killed by the horse.
The next day, no news.
Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry, he approached Huo Qubing's department while searching for the enemy's trace.
There is no contradiction between the two.
Because the ultimate goal of all alien legions is Huo Qubing's department. Without the leader of Huo Qubing's department, no one has the confidence to cross the vast prairie and reach Langjuxu Mountain.
Huo Qubing became the bait for Ouyang Shuo to hunt.
If this god general knew about Ouyang Shuo's actions, he didn't know how he would feel.
On the third day, the Wolf Warriors were found.
Unlike Di Chen, Zhan Lang is a bloody person. In the battle of encirclement and suppression, the wolf warriors did their best to show their military demeanor. Along the way, there have been constant battles, big and small, and we have never flinched.
Therefore, what Ouyang Shuo faced was only a remnant.
Seeing the golden flag of Shanhai City, a trace of bitterness flickered on the corner of Zhan Lang's mouth.
When Qiri Wuyi broke through the siege, Zhan Lang had a premonition that they would meet again. What he didn't expect was that when they met again, the situation had already reversed to this point.
In terms of decisiveness, Wolf Warrior is no worse than Dichen.
It's just that the way they choose is somewhat different.
Di Chen slayed himself, and Zhan Lang chose to fight hard to die. The destination of soldiers is always the battlefield. I saw Wolf Zhan leading his troops and personally committing suicide into the Shenwu Guards. For a while, they were rivals.
Facing such an opponent, Ouyang Shuo gave him the utmost respect.
The two lords, on the prairie, launched a duel between generals and generals.
In this battle, Ouyang Shuo played heartily.
Wolf Warrior is indeed a respectable opponent. Although he can't learn several emperor-level martial arts like Ouyang Shuo, his combat strength is also extraordinary.
The two fought for more than three hundred rounds.
Even the soldiers on both sides of the war stopped unconsciously and watched the battle.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo relied on the continuous essence of "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" and the sharpness of the Chixiao Sword, and finally killed the war wolf with half a move.
"Careful!" War Wolf looked at the Chixiao Sword piercing his belly, and even grinned purely and heartily, "Qiyue Wuyi, if it wasn't for the different camps, maybe we could be friends."
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and said with a little deep meaning: "There will be that day."
"Ha ha!!!"
War Wolf laughed three times and died from exhaustion.
...
The death of Zhan Lang made Ouyang Shuo feel a lot of emotion.
What he said before, that one day, the two may become friends, is by no means a joke. Compared to Wolf Warriors, Ouyang Shuo is naturally more aware of the future direction of the game.
Seeing that Gaia has been coming for three years.
In the game, the most exciting national warfare system is not far away from being activated.
Don't look at the present, [Shanhai League] and [Yanhuang League] are fighting to the death. When the national war is approaching, the two major alliances need to join forces to fight against the enemy.
What is being fought now is the future national war and the dominance of China.
For Ouyang Shuo, who is familiar with the direction of the game, he naturally couldn't tolerate it. The dominance fell into the hands of Dichen and others. He wanted to personally lead the lords of the China region and spread his prestige in the four kingdoms.
But for Di Chen and the others, who were naturally arrogant, how could they easily give up the dominance?
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to convince others with force.
If they are not convinced, they will be beaten until they are submissive.
And this is the source of all the contradictions between the two major alliances.
