Chapter 261 Pulling
Of course, the reason why he could win so easily was not only the inheritance of Li Guanting, but also the fact that the demons underestimated their enemies.
The demons were born out of the human race. Although they are fierce and rough in nature, they also have military skills.
Being ambushed in a dangerous place like Xiantian Canyon is a taboo for military strategists.
If it were normal times, the vanguard scouts would have been advancing layer by layer for several rounds. Only when the previous layer of scouts sent out a signal that the place was clear would the next layer of scouts continue to advance and explore.
In this way, there would be no large-scale ambush along the march of the army.
However, the overwhelming and unhindered march in the past ten days has greatly fueled the Demon Flame.
The scout army completely turned into a vanguard cavalry and passed by in one round, which gave the Qing King's army an opportunity to take advantage of.
Not only did they destroy five thousand Fire Demon troops in one battle, but they also used the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements, and ordered the Tianfeng Army to ambush the Demon Clan reinforcements.
Nearly 10,000 demons were killed, but our own side suffered less than 2,000 casualties.
Moreover, there seemed to be only 12,000 troops left out of the 13,000 troops.
But in fact, not only was the combat strength of Li Guanting's army not damaged, but it was increased by at least 30%.
Military combat is more than just a competition of military strength.
Morale and military spirit are also indispensable.
Before this battle, there was almost no morale, but the victory in the battle made all the soldiers recognize their temporary leadership.
This kind of heartfelt support and belief from the soldiers not only made it easier for Li Guanting to deploy troops and generals.
Even the military force method will be smoother.
…
[You watch the demon army march towards Chengzhou. In order to conquer Chengzhou as soon as possible, the troops dispersed in all directions, and their march was straightforward and reckless. 】
[Then he ambushed the Flame Demon Army outside Kuangming City, and encircled the enemy for reinforcements. In the end, he killed nearly 10,000 enemies, leaving the Demon Clan with severe injuries. It was a great start. 】
[After this battle, the morale was like a rainbow, and the soldiers were all convinced and showed no fear of the demons. 】
【So, you choose...】
[A. Continue to ambush B. Fight head-on C. Attack in circles D. Intervene personally]
[You choose to toss around and attack. 】
[You know in your heart that the Fire Demon Army and the Blood Demon Army are the elite armies of the demon clan and should not be underestimated. 】
[Although they took advantage of their relaxed vigilance to ambush and win a great victory, it must have aroused their vigilance. 】
[Ambush can be used as a clever strategy, but it cannot be used frequently. 】
[So you led your army to attack, attack and annihilate the scattered demon army, so as to forge the belief that the Qingwang Army will be undefeated. 】
[The King of Qing’s army fought successively with great successes, their morale was greatly boosted, their momentum was like a rainbow, and their military tactics became increasingly sophisticated. 】
[The demon army regards you as a thorn in your side. After several encirclements and suppressions, they all returned without success. There is nothing they can do. 】
Facing the harassment of the Qingwang Army, the Demon Army fell into an inevitable dilemma.
They wanted to divide their forces to fight, invade cities all over Chengzhou on a large scale, and conquer and enslave Chengzhou in one fell swoop.
As a result, the troops were divided and scattered. Although the process was fast, it was continuously eroded by the Qingwang Army.
Later, when the demon army even saw the Qingwang flag, they became frightened.
They couldn't help but be afraid of the sound of successive battles and victories.
As a result, the demon army, which had originally spread out and advanced over a large area, had no choice but to shrink its front line to avoid losing sight of the end.
It's not like the demon army never thought of luring the Qingwang army with thousands of scattered troops, so as to stage a counter-ambush.
But the King Qing's army was too slick, as if they had a full-scale perspective, and if there was even the slightest mistake, they would be gone at the touch of a button.
Not only did they fail to catch Qing Wang's army, but they also wasted valuable advancement time.
More than 50,000 demon troops pushed forward for ten days and captured half of Chengzhou without any damage. However, they encountered a tough opponent here.
Unable to advance or retreat, always at a distance, constantly harassing, and impossible to guard against.
It is a tug-of-war like "when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue".
The demon army, which was advancing with overwhelming force, encountered such a cunning figure as the Qing Wang army, and felt as uncomfortable as eating shredded potatoes with a mouth full of ginger shreds.
In the past ten days, no progress has been made and the advance has been slow. Instead, a total of 20,000 troops have been lost. The morale of the demon army is low as it has been repeatedly pulled back.
It is precisely "one vigorous effort, then weakened, three times exhausted."
The lone army penetrated deeply and could not win in a single battle. Instead, it fell deeper step by step. The demon army already had the idea of retreating.
At this time, the Qing King's army will rush in and harass them, giving them an ambiguous distance and arousing the anger of the demon army.
Under this repeated pull, the demon army suddenly became uncharacteristic.
Instead of marching, they turned around and started back.
It was already a half-dead gesture.
The posture of burying one's head in defense, scurrying around, and running straight north, roughly means -
Okay, if you are ruthless, we will admit defeat this time!
Ten thousand troops are chasing our 30,000 to 40,000 demon troops, just chase them! We will never look back and be pulled by you again!
However, before he finished speaking, the commanders of the Fire Demon Army and the Blood Demon Army gritted their teeth and turned back angrily, trying to extinguish the pursuers behind them.
Because--
[You know very well that the demon army is advancing alone. Once it is blocked and stuck in the mud, it will inevitably withdraw temporarily. 】
[So you personally led the army to pull and pull the troops several times, and then entrusted the important task of pulling and harassing the army to Tianfeng's three thousand troops. 】
[You used harassment and pull as bait, making the demon army anxious and distracted. It is unimaginable that you only sent 3,000 troops to chase 40,000 elite demon army. 】
[The demon army is extremely wary of your plan to lure the enemy deep and ambush you. They are determined to withdraw their troops and will not pursue the three thousand La La army at all. They cannot know your exact military situation. 】
[So you took the opportunity to lead the rest of the soldiers to hide and attack, until they reached the breached Hengjian Pass. 】
[The demon army goes deep alone and will definitely need the support of the Northern Qi army from behind. 】
[Now that the troops are withdrawing, there must be reinforcements from the rear to support them. 】
[As long as its rear is cut off and the demon army is completely isolated and helpless, it can be gradually engulfed. 】
So, when the demon army thought they were being chased and beaten by ten thousand troops.
In fact, there are only three thousand troops.
The real large army has already arrived at the city.
"Soldiers! Follow me and charge!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Qingwang flag was raised high, and Li Guanting took the lead.
The torrent of steel with golden light followed closely behind, and the aura of the military force had a trace of blood generated by enduring a hundred battles.
In the end, the two thousand troops guarding Hengjiang Pass were easily wiped out.
When the news spread back to the demon army, the commanders of both armies were furious and turned around to hunt down the "Blue King's Army" who had been harassing the rear these days.
As a result, when I looked back, I saw that the troops in the rear had long disappeared, and they could only be helpless and furious.
…
It rained heavily in Hengjianguan.
The rain hit the corpse, turning the blood beneath it into a river.
A 100-meter-tall "tower" stood precariously in the pouring rain.
This is a Beijing temple, made of soil and thousands of heads, used to show off its power.
After the demon army broke through the Hengjian Pass, they slaughtered all the defenders, leaving this capital intact.
At the top of the capital's view is the head of the ninth prince of the Qi Dynasty who was guarding Hengjiang Pass. It has been nearly a month and he still refuses to close his eyes, his eyes wide with anger.
