I really can't control myself
Chapter 2982 Making trouble
Li Chengqiao arrived in a hurry, and he really didn't even take a breath. Linton immediately started to cause trouble again.
The 80,000 reinforcements here have just begun to arrive at the stronghold. They haven't even settled down yet. Linton has already issued a new order to set off.
Of course, Linton did not ask the entire army to set off. At this time, Li Ying's troops were integrated together, and there were already about 100,000 troops.
Linton did not ask all the 100,000 people to set out, but ordered all the cavalry to follow him. The remaining people continued to confront the 60,000 to 70,000 remaining soldiers of the King's Gate over there.
As for why, of course it's because the cavalry is faster. Linton didn't have much patience to begin with, and he wasn't prepared to spend much time on fighting, so he naturally came as fast as he could.
Anyway, according to my understanding of the situation, I can automatically win if I bring Person A up there, so why should I care about what troops I bring, right?
All he has to do here is gather the troops and let them go straight up. Don't ask, just ask about the physique of a military god.
As for the target, it is obviously not the tens of thousands of remnants of the royal clan. Of course those remnants are easy to deal with, but it will take a lot of time.
Because according to the inquiries in the past few days, this group of remnants of the army will not take the initiative to attack for the time being, but will strengthen the camp somewhere, obviously preparing for defense. Although it is just a camp, the location where the opponent chooses to camp is still relatively good. Even if they have an advantage in numbers now, it is estimated that the fight will take a long time.
Linton had no intention of taking care of these tens of thousands of people, because although their defenses were well laid out, it was impossible to fight them off unless their reinforcements arrived.
And will their reinforcements arrive? Linton is now eyeing the opponent's reinforcements.
How many reinforcements does the other side have...probably more than 400,000.
Yes, although the Wangmen's army has more than 100,000 people, it is also a vanguard army. The subsequent main force is the army that the Fourteenth Emperor is currently gathering. It is said that after the troops from all parties are gathered, the total number will probably exceed 400,000. The entire army added up to an army of nearly 600,000 people.
Then Linton said that they should leave this remnant army alone and just kill their main force.
To be honest, even Li Ying, who was extremely blind to Linton, was shaken for a moment after hearing Linton's words. After all, Linton's target this time is an army of 400,000, and what about their side...
Although they had 100,000 troops, Linton said he did not intend to bring them all, only the cavalry. And how many cavalry troops are there among these 100,000 people?
Taken together, there are about 7,000 people.
To be honest, this is already a lot. After all, the cavalry unit is really difficult to handle.
Daning's army is mainly infantry. It's not that everyone doesn't know how powerful cavalry is, but the problem is how to build cavalry without horses. There really aren't many horse farms in Daning.
Li Ying was born in the army, so he naturally knew the importance of cavalry. But war horses are strategic materials. He is just a prince. If you mess with this on a large scale, you clearly want to rebel.
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Ying did not dare to engage in large numbers of war horses openly. But he has always been making little moves behind the scenes.
Even so, the number that could be gathered together in the end was not much. These cavalrymen in front of them were already regarded as Li Ying's family wealth.
However, in the end, the cavalry that Linton gathered was not just 7,000, but tens of thousands.
Isn't this because of the great gift from Wang Clan?
In the previous battle of Wutao River, Wangmen's side was originally crossing the river. And all the war horses in his army did not follow him across the river, but were all kept in the temporary camp.
Sending horses across the river is really troublesome, and crossing the river does not require the participation of cavalry. The arrangement on Wangmen's side is naturally to send people across the river first and then set up camp. It is of course a very normal choice to wait for the frontline camps to be completed before transporting heavy supplies and war horses.
However, he did not expect to encounter such a big defeat.
After the defeat, although the lieutenant here saw the situation clearly and retreated early to get back part of the baggage, there was definitely no way to take it all away. Their temporary camp was also penetrated, and they had to retreat for dozens of miles before they managed to settle down. Their belongings were also lost everywhere.
Now all of this baggage has naturally been accepted by Li Ying's troops, including the war horses.
A lot of war horses were obtained from Wangmen, but it was a pity that the number of cavalry on Li Ying's side was not enough.
This cavalry is not just for infantry to mount a horse. You can't even ride a horse without training, so you still have to fight on a horse? Obviously it's impossible.
So I gathered together the remaining soldiers from the King's Gate, and probably gathered another 3,000 cavalry. There are actually quite a few war horses left, but no one can use them anymore.
Linton set off with the 10,000 cavalry gathered together. Because there is still room for war horses, some people can even ride two horses per person. There was no shortage of military supplies and provisions. With a little care, Linton set off directly on the same day without giving him any time to rest.
Of course, Linton also made it clear that the target was the main force of 400,000 people. After hearing the news, the generals on Li Ying's side went crazy.
Even if they knew that Linton was the actual commander of the previous Battle of Wutao River, they would not be able to understand this. Brother, do you want to hear what you are talking about? Apart from anything else, in terms of quantity alone, if you have ten thousand people and the other side has four hundred thousand, do you think you can win?
Not to mention 400,000 people, just 400,000 pigs, standing there for you to kill, how long do you have to kill them?
And they were not some miscellaneous army, not bandits, not peasant troops, they were the regular army of the imperial court. Although the troops assembled this time come from all over Daning, they are indeed regular troops. How do you think we can win?
Don't talk about the advantages of arms, because there are also cavalry over there, and the number of cavalry is also several times as many as yours.
In short, all the generals went crazy when they heard that Linton was going to take his troops. Of course, their joy was a little too early, because soon they heard even worse news, that is... their lord, King Cheng Li Ying, was planning to go with Linton.
Yes, it’s okay for Linton to lead troops to send him off. Li Ying is also planning to go with Linton. Just give it to Linton. Li Ying is the leader of the rebellion. If something happens to him, wouldn't everything be over?
So a group of generals tried to persuade him crazily, including several of Li Ying's sons, but to no avail.
Yes, Li Ying was completely blind now. Although she was stunned for a while after hearing Linton's plan, she was completely obsessed with it and made up her mind to go with Linton.
The eldest son Li Chengqiao was so angry that he fainted, but it still didn't work.
Under everyone's shocked, confused, and worried eyes, these ten thousand troops set off.
