The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 275 The whole army is dispatched

"Your Highness, you can't do that." Someone immediately stopped him.

"Your Highness, although the barbarian troops have only a few vanguards, the tens of thousands of other cavalry are less than two hundred miles away. They can come to support us at any time. If we get entangled, we will easily suffer losses."

Ning Yi smiled faintly and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"

He looked at several commanders of the Beijing camp and said, "Your mission is to attack the group of rioters head-on and defeat them. Is that okay?"

Defeat the rioters? The Beijing troops looked at each other.

"Your Highness, defeating them is not a problem, but they have 30,000 veterans in their rear."

"That's not that difficult." Ning Yi said, "To defeat the rioters and face these 30,000 veterans head-on, even a group of you, the Beijing Army, who have been trained for so long and are well-equipped, can't do it."

"If you can't do it, just take off your armor and go home to hug your child."

Several commanders felt that this was not a big problem.

It would be a shame if we couldn't stop 30,000 veterans.

But there are bigger problems.

"Your Highness, it's not difficult to stop them, but there are still 10,000 cavalrymen in the rear."

"If we face off head-on and are attacked from the side by cavalry, it will be difficult for us to fight. We might even get routed."

"That's not that difficult." Ning Yi looked at Yu Shengfei. "You 30,000 cavalrymen, if you force your way around the enemy's flanks, you'll only hold back 10,000 barbarian cavalrymen. That's no problem, right?"

Yu Shengfei frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, our cavalry is naturally happy to fight against these barbarian bandits."

"But they're sending everyone out for the first battle, without holding back at all?"

"Also, if it's the barbarian tribe, tens of thousands of cavalry will quickly come south to provide support."

Ning Yi laughed and said, "Don't worry about that."

"Tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry are scattered across the north, all busy looting."

"Even if we get the news and gather everywhere, it will be good if we can get everyone together in half a day."

"How long will it take for us to come and provide support? We need to fight this battle quickly and we can finish it in less than half a day."

Everyone was speechless. People were usually cautious, after all, there were only so many soldiers and horses at Hushan Pass.

If there are too many casualties, it will be difficult to hold out for long.

However, His Highness, upon encountering the vanguard troops, immediately ordered the entire army to move out.

In that case, there is nothing more to say, let’s all go together.

Ning Yi also gave orders on the spot that this battle must be fought beautifully and the invading enemy must be completely wiped out.

If anyone dares to delay and not fight with all his heart, he will really kill them.

All the generals trembled in their hearts. This lord was different from others. He could really kill people.

Just look at the recent period, we haven't had any confrontation with the barbarians yet.

Ning Yi had ordered so many officers to be beheaded that no one dared to disobey his orders.

Each army quickly returned to prepare its weapons without any further ado. Whichever army was negligent would have its general in trouble.

Although the barbarian army arrived at a distance, they did not attack by force. They also received news that Hushan Pass was difficult to capture.

They also set up camp, ready to wait for reinforcements to arrive from the rear so that the army could attack Hushan Pass again.

But they didn't care. After all, they had been fighting in the Great Wu Kingdom for so long and had attacked the city countless times. They had always attacked by force, and few troops from the Great Wu Kingdom had left the city for a decisive battle.

But this time, their army was busy, some setting up camp and some cutting down trees.

But at the Hushan Pass opposite, several gates in the long city wall suddenly opened, and groups of soldiers in full armor came out.

It was coming towards them like a mighty stream.

That’s not all. Soldiers and horses also came out one after another from the military camps on the hillsides on both sides of the city.

This stunned the general of the barbarian army. Did these soldiers of the Dawu Kingdom want to be discovered and have a decisive battle?

He also shouted orders, and everyone immediately organized themselves and prepared for the decisive battle.

The barbarians were not afraid of a decisive battle, especially after the border was cleared. They felt that there were not many troops left in the territory of Dawu except for the troops of the vassal kings.

They have tens of thousands of cavalrymen. Even if they can't win, the worst that can happen is they can just turn around and run away.

As for the tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers and tens of thousands of refugees, they have little to do with them.

Even if they are all killed, the worst that can happen is that we can go back and catch more. Once a city is captured, there will be as many miscellaneous soldiers as needed.

It seems that the barbarians also have a huge army of nearly 100,000.

But it was a mess, especially the tens of thousands of rioters pushed forward, with everything in their hands.

They were all very panicked, because the people on the other side were the regular army of the Dawu Kingdom who were fully armored.

Twenty thousand criminal troops were also pushed forward.

Ning Yi also didn't feel sorry for them. You barbarians have rioters, right? I have a guilty army, so who is afraid of who?

All 30,000 troops outside the city came out of the camp.

Of the 40,000 defenders in the city, except for 10,000 who stayed behind, the other 30,000 also came out.

There were even a steady stream of cavalry coming out from the rear, and they were deployed in a mighty force onto the vast plain two miles away from Hushan Pass.

Just as the army of over one hundred thousand had taken their positions in rows, Ning Yi stood on the chariot, fully clothed in golden armor, surrounded by groups of elite guards.

The cavalry in the rear had not yet arrived. Ning Yi looked over and saw that his side was almost there, while the opposite side was still in chaos.

Order a violent attack on the spot. No more nonsense, we must fight now.

Ning Yi's sudden order made many of the commanders worried. Was it appropriate to launch a violent attack before the army had even established its position?

But His Highness gave the order, and the army had to be urged to advance quickly.

Especially the criminal army, after receiving the order, they advanced forward one by one with weapons in hand.

Twenty thousand criminal soldiers led the charge, and behind them were guards in neat formations. They were easy to count, several thousand in a group, with flags fluttering, representing a guard.

Tens of thousands of soldiers advanced together, it was a mighty and spectacular sight.

Qin Haifeng said worriedly, "Your Highness, although the barbarian troops are weak, be careful that they may rob your property."

The purpose is to prevent the barbarian cavalry from running in circles to attack their rear and flanks.

"Let's send out the cavalry as well," Ning Yi said calmly. "Thirty thousand cavalry, fifteen thousand each attacking from either flank, should be enough to stop the ten thousand barbarian cavalry."

"Oh, and the three thousand cavalry of the criminal army are also rushing over. Their mission is to force the attack on the army formation when confronting the rebels after the main army has defeated the rioters."

Qin Haifeng looked at the cavalrymen who were arriving one after another, as well as the 3,000 cavalrymen not far away, all equipped with excellent weapons and armor. "Your Highness, we can claim these 3,000 cavalrymen as our own. They are such excellent cavalrymen. If we rashly use them to attack the enemy, the losses will be too great. What a pity."

In Qin Haifeng's opinion, these cavalrymen were gathered from the armies of several vassal kings. They were all good cavalrymen. It would be a waste if they were used here.

Their own troops had very few cavalry.

In order to gather three cavalry armies, Ning Yi looked for cavalry everywhere, even using the Fang family army and the soldiers selected from King Huai.

There is still a steady stream of new horse-riding recruits coming from job fairs all over the northwest. Cavalry is really too difficult to train.
