Chapter 5462: Being Fooled
The battle on the grassland began.
A dense rain of arrows rushed down from the sky, and the heavenly camp was in chaos.
Of the 20,000 beast cavalry, only about half of them rode on the six-legged evil beasts at this moment.
The remaining half of the beast cavalry were still looking for their own beasts in the chaos.
Then they were killed by the rain of arrows.
The grain transportation route had been safe and sound, which made these heavenly soldiers careless.
There was almost no defense.
Many heavenly soldiers were pierced by arrows before they found their weapons.
Baturu was worthy of being the first warrior of the White Wolf Clan. He took the lead with a mace in his hand.
The 300,000 cavalry formed a cone-shaped attack formation and pierced into the heavenly camp that stretched for nearly ten miles.
The mace exuded a chill in the moonlight and hit the head of a running heavenly warrior.
The humans in heaven are exactly the same as those in the human world. There is no difference.
The head of the heavenly man was instantly smashed, and blood and brains splattered.
Baturu raised his mace and shouted loudly in the language of the grassland.
In just one stick of incense, 300,000 cavalrymen penetrated the entire camp.
This was the most satisfying battle fought by the cavalrymen since the catastrophe.
Although there were still thousands of six-legged beast riders who were fighting stubbornly, they had no choice but to die in the face of absolute strength.
When Baturu attacked the camp, the other two armies also began to attack the central army of the heavenly realm at Niangzi Pass.
Five million Liaobei cavalrymen, 300,000 northern frontier beast riders, and 200,000 flying feather legions.
This was the most elite force in Zhan Ying's hands.
In order to delay the time for Niangzi Pass to be broken and to delay the war until this winter, Zhan Ying had no choice but to send out the trump card in his hand.
The 300,000 beast riders opened the way.
The northern frontier beast riders were extremely powerful, and were not much inferior to the storm legions of the heavenly realm.
They were responsible for tearing open the defense line of the six-legged beast riders.
Following closely behind were five million Liaobei cavalrymen.
Their target was clear: the tens of thousands of Skyfire Beasts outside Niangzi Pass.
An Wenxiu stood on Que Pass, feeling proud that he had taken the Laojun Cave position in less than two hours.
Suddenly, his subordinates came to report.
"Commander-in-chief, three hundred miles to the northwest, our army's grain transport team was attacked by human cavalry!"
"Is this true? Those guys on the grassland are so bold that they dared to sneak attack our army's grain transport team! I will make them never come back!
Pass my order to withdraw 200,000 beast riders from outside Niangzi Pass for quick support. Make sure to kill all these human ants!"
A deputy general beside him said: "Commander-in-chief, there are only 500,000 beast riders stationed outside the pass to protect the Destruction Legion.
Withdrawing 200,000 will weaken our outer defense.
Hundreds of miles to the north, there are Zhan Ying's 5 million Liaobei cavalry and nearly 10 million grassland wolf riders.
Should we send the Six Wings Legion to scout first and take action after dawn?
Now there is only one last line of defense left in Niangzi Pass, and it is only a matter of time to take it down. We must ensure the safety of the Destruction Legion."
The Destruction Legion is a siege weapon.
After entering the pass, the heavenly army will no longer face natural barriers like Yumen Pass and Niangzi Pass, but cities one after another.
For such a city, the Destruction Legion can basically take it down with one volley.
So the deputy general planned to play it safe.
The only thing left in front of An Wenxiu was the Chengtian Cliff defense line, and he was destined to be recorded in the history of the heaven.
The people of the heaven will always remember that it was An Wenxiu who took the lead in opening the door to the human world.
An Wenxiu would never allow any stain in his military career.
He said: "By the time of daybreak, my grain transport team will have died out. Zhan Ying is the general manager of the Liaobei Road, and Niangzi Pass is not under his jurisdiction.
As for the millions of cavalrymen of the grassland wolf tribe, I don't take them seriously at all. What's more, it's only 300 miles away. If there is an accident at Niangzi Pass, the 200,000 Storm Legion can rush back within two hours. Do it according to my fame and fortune."
He was fooled.
Zhan Ying secretly asked Zhebie Great Chanyu to sneak attack the grain transport team of the heaven, just to let An Wenxiu transfer some of the six-legged beast cavalry.
The 500,000-strong Storm Legion is like an iron barrel, firmly protecting hundreds of thousands of destructive beasts.
It is very difficult to break through the defense circle of the Storm Legion.
Zhan Ying deduced in advance that An Wenxiu would send about 100,000 Storm Legion to support.
Unexpectedly, An Wenxiu wanted to teach the grassland wolf riders a lesson, and actually mobilized 200,000.
This caused a huge loophole in the defense circle of the Heavenly Realm Storm Legion.
Outside Niangzi Pass, a hundred miles.
300,000 beast riders and 5 million cavalry stood quietly on the flat grassland.
There were no torches or any sounds.
They were waiting for the commander's attack order.
Zhan Ying was in a cave in Changbai Mountain at the moment.
He did not rest.
He was waiting for news from Niangzi Pass.
Zhan Ying said slowly: "What time is it now?"
Wanyan Ku said: "It's almost Chou time."
Zhan Ying said: "Has Li Shiyuan not sent any news yet?"
Li Shiyuan was the commander of the sneak attack on Niangzi Pass.
Wanyan Ku looked at the royal cultivator on the side.
The other party shook his head silently.
Zhan Ying's expression did not change at all.
Wan Yan Ku could not sit still any longer and asked, "Could it be that An Wenxiu was not fooled?"
Zhan Ying said calmly, "He will definitely dispatch the Storm Legion to support us. Wait a little longer."
Another quarter of an hour later, the royal cultivator received a secret letter.
The content was very simple, just one line of words: "Two hundred thousand Storm Beast Riders have left Niangzi Pass."
He was overjoyed and hurriedly handed the secret letter to Zhan Ying.
Zhan Ying took a look and smiled, saying: "Two hundred thousand? In this case, the Storm Legion stationed outside Niangzi Pass now has only 300,000 troops. It's really beyond my expectation."
Wanyan Ku said: "Should we order General Li to launch an attack immediately?"
Zhan Ying said: "Don't worry, now these two hundred thousand beast riders have just left, they must not have gone far. It's not too late to wait for them to fight with Baturu's cavalry deployed on the east line.
Tell Li Shiyuan to set off the whole army and sneak quietly. Half an hour later, at eight o'clock in the morning, launch a full-line attack.
Notify the Feiyu Legion to be ready to take off at any time to entangle the opponent's six-winged legion...
In this battle, I will completely defeat the Destruction Legion in An Wenxiu's hands!"
Orders were passed through the royal cultivators.
This royal cultivator was sent to protect Zhan Ying at the beginning of the year, and he was very reluctant at first.
After all, Liaobei had been lost, and the so-called Liaobei Road Marching General was just a face given by His Majesty to Xuanying.
In just over two months, Zhan Ying's art of war deeply impressed this high-ranking cultivator.
Thousands of miles away, Zhan Ying could accurately predict the enemy's every move.
This may be what the art of war says, planning in the tent, winning thousands of miles away.
