Chapter 417: Bringing the King to the Enemy
At the northern foot of Sheephorn Mountain, a cavalry was quietly advancing eastward, and Qin Yan was among the cavalry teams. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother dog, let's be a head!"
Qin Yan glanced back at a few little brothers, he warned several people more than once that he had to call him by his big name or official position, but these guys didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, they always deliberately called him a dog.
Originally, they were all cavalrymen, but they led their horses through the mountains for a day and a night, and this march was difficult and hard, and they walked slower than the infantry army. Qin Yan didn't know what Wuhu Huaizhong's idea was, so he didn't take the good loess avenue, but he just walked this rugged path in this dense forest.
But he learned from Qin Jin's mouth that this Hu man seemed to be very capable, and even Captain Lu and Captain Pei were far behind. Out of respect and trust for the head of the family, Qin Yan once again took out the score of the team and reprimanded the only five soldiers under him.
"You all know a fart, the head of the family asked us all to listen to the military orders of the black guard captain, can there be anything wrong?"
Although these people were very dissatisfied with this kind of self-inflicted march, as soon as they heard the word "head of the house", they immediately nodded like chickens pecking rice.
At this time, the sky was gradually dimming, and just when Qin Yan thought that Captain Wuhu would soon give the military order to camp and rest, there was a hurried voice of orders in front:
"Listen, you are about to go out of the mountain, and when it gets dark, there will be a bad battle, and you are all ready. ”
After hearing this, Qin Yan's heart inexplicably swelled with excitement, he knew that the first fierce battle in his life was about to take place, but instead of being afraid, he still had some expectations.
Since I was a child, I have heard a lot about my husband galloping on the battlefield, making meritorious contributions, and entering the phase, which is what many people dream of. He had thought that such a story was just an unattainable legend for him, but now there was at least a glimmer of hope.
"The fame will be taken immediately, and the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service has come!"
Qin Yan excitedly cheered up a few of his pawns, but they were all as excited as Qin Yan, and they showed more worry.
Just when Qin Yan was looking forward to killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions and worshiping the general, fifty miles south of Yangjiao Mountain, there was a group of men and horses with a scale of more than 10,000 people on the west side of Hugao Mountain who were slowly moving northward.
Zhang Jia thought that they were really just private and only doing some work in Tuntian, but it had been less than a month since they entered the camp, and the first task was assigned, and they actually marched north. Although Qin envoy's order did not include fighting against the enemy, this was a march in front of the enemy, and once it encountered the rebels, it was bound to be a fierce battle.
However, it was exactly what he wanted. Zhang Jia is an ambitious person, how can he be willing to be a captain in Tuntian, if he does not kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, wouldn't he waste his time?
Looking at the brand-new weapons in the hands of the soldiers under his command, he was secretly wondering if he was looking for an opportunity to do something big with a bang, and not let Qin Envoy look down on them. However, Zhang Jia quickly dispelled this idea of circumventing military orders, as he immediately realized that he could not bypass the two lieutenants in the battalion and the battalion supervisor who spoke as if by magic.
The chances of convincing the three men to follow him are almost nil. After dispelling this thought, Zhang Jia sighed regretfully, so he walked a few steps to find the camp supervisor to find out.
The camp supervisor is obviously Qin Jin's cronies, and he must know a lot of secret things, but unfortunately, no matter how Zhang Jia talks, the other party is tight-lipped as a bottle.
……
"Report to the general, Hugao Mountain has discovered that tens of thousands of ** are moving northward, and it is estimated that they can cross Sheephorn Mountain within three days. ”
Cai Xide's eyes suddenly shot a spark of excitement, slapped the female wall, and asked: "**Is there any abnormal movement of the cavalry that entered Jinju in the early stage?"
"The rangers have lost their tracks, and they are lost!"
"Lost with us, our rangers are no inferior to the Khitan cavalry, how can we be lost?"
Cai Xide's voice was cold and full of anger.
"The general is angry, according to his humble guess, he may have been shot by the ** cavalry......"
Cai Xide slapped the female wall again, and ordered in a cold voice:
"Send someone again, and within three days, at any cost, find out their whereabouts, or else come to see them!"
The deputy general Min Guangjie didn't dare to come out, his own master has always been ruthless, and many people have become the souls of his knife because they have not achieved the set goals.
There is another point that makes Min Guangjie always hold his tail in the army, cautious. Because he is a Korean, he has always had a high status among the Turkic and other Hu people, and the Khitan people have the lowest status.
"Come back!"
Min Guangjie, who was already trembling, was immediately in a cold sweat, he cautiously turned back to Cai Xide, and replied respectfully: "General, what else do you have to order?"
Unexpectedly, Cai Xide laughed unexpectedly.
"The Tang army has a plan, they send a large number of men and horses to the north along the Hugao Mountain, as long as they enter the territory of Jinju......"
At this point, Cai Xide's voice paused. Min Guangjie immediately stammered and said: "As long as the Tang army enters the Jinzhou territory, it will be in the general's pocket!"
However, his stammering was exchanged for a reprimand.
"Idiot, what Cai wants is Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou! As long as Jiangzhou is a moment, Tang Jun will be a lost dog!"
"Yes, yes, the general is wise!"
"Send someone to tell Li Jinzhong that the first two battles must be defeated and retreated, and after luring the enemy into depth, he will try to encircle and annihilate him!"
Cai Xide's purpose is obvious, to attract the main force of the ** to pursue with a small defeat, and after cultivating his mentality of attacking lightly, he will fight back with all his strength and kill him with one blow. In fact, there were many generals in the Yan army who used this tactic, from Cui Qianyou, who was captured by the Tang army a few years ago, to Sun Xiaozhe, who were well aware of this method.
Another day later, Cai Xide received the news again, not only in the high mountains, but also along Fenshui, there were also at least more than 10,000 people heading north to Jinzhou.
Cai Xide can finally confirm that Qin Jin was lured by his false attack on Jinju and began to lean his focus on Jinju, which is exactly what he hoped for under careful planning.
"Order all battalions to immediately reorganize the army, and in two days later, they will cross the high mountains and go straight to the county seat of Jiangxian!"
As soon as the order was delivered, the whole army was immediately busy, ready to march west at any time, and the moment of revenge was coming.
Because he was already familiar with the road, Cai Xide only took a day and a half of a night to climb over the high mountains, and then a hundred miles to the west is the goal of his westward expansion of Jiangxian County.
……
From the moment Cai Xide entered the Hugao Mountain, Qin Jin received an alert from his descendants. He immediately made a careful deployment and explanation to the city of Jiangxian, and the main forces of Huangfu Ke's troops were all guarding against Sun Xiaozhe's troops entrenched in the area of Xia County, so his task was to make every effort to guard against the south.
The front army of the Shenwu Army and part of the rear army were conducting drills in the foothills west of the Hugao Mountain early in the morning, and they were immediately ordered to enter a combat state at this time. In addition, Qin Jin decided to personally go to Hugao Mountain to supervise the battle, this battle is very important, Pei Jing is more than steady but not decisive, and Lu Qi rushed to Tianjing Pass day and night, so he must do it himself.
Chen Qianli, who had been silent, expressed his different views at this time, he thought that Qin Jin was a bit too risky to do this, since he could resist the rebels with a strong city, why did he choose to attack the enemy in the field with his own shortcomings?
"Envoy, when we were in Xin'an, we used 3,000 united soldiers to block Sun Xiaozhe's 50,000 army. Now Jiangxian County is far deeper than Xin'an City, the Shenwu army is strong and strong, and Cai Xide's department is no more than 30,000 people, as long as you hold Jiangxian County, you can be invincible......"
Qin Jin didn't know that he could be invincible by doing this, but he wanted more than that. If you want to completely relieve the crisis in Jiangxian County, it is far from enough to just hold on, only by completely annihilating Cai Xide's main force, he may be free to do other things. Otherwise, Cai Xide will definitely be like a maggot on the tarsal bone, pestering him all the time, and he will never give up if he does not recapture Jiangxian County.
If he sticks to Jiangxian County, he can certainly be invincible, but he can't annihilate the main force of Cai Xide's department, his hands and feet can't be completely liberated, and he must always be on guard against threats from the east and south, so what else can the Shenwu army do in Hedong?
In the end, Qin Jin did not take Chen Qianli's suggestion, but instead took Chen Qianli to the east and went to the Shenwu army, he asked Cheng Qianli to see that the Shenwu army could not only win the battle to defend the city, but also win in the field battle.
Since the main force of the front army of the Shenwu Army had long been arranged at the western foot of Hugao Mountain, Qin Jin only took a few hundred light horsemen and galloped all the way to the east.
Less than thirty miles away, they met the first batch of soldiers from the rear army of the Shenwu Army, who were in charge of the entire plan. The brigade leader of the army was extremely excited when he saw Qin Jin, and asked that his men and horses be transferred to the front to fight the rebels to the death.
There is a strong fighting spirit in the army, which is far better than Qin Jin predicted. But he can't send everyone to the front, after all, a big battle needs to be coordinated with each other in order to achieve the greatest victory.
"Don't think that at the rear, your task is insignificant, once the front can't resist, you are the last hope, understand? If no one guards the gate of Jiangzhou, in case ......"
This brigade leader suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Qianli who was following Qin Jin, and immediately said respectfully: "The last general will see Chen Changshi!"
It turned out that before he was incorporated into the rear army of the Shenwu Army, he was a team leader in the Longwu Army, and later he was beheaded and meritorious in the Battle of Gushan and was promoted to brigade leader.
Chen Qianli actually made Long Wujun a former team leader.
"Wang Qilang, listen to the order of the envoy, this place has a heavy responsibility, comparable to the front of the battle!"
The brigade no longer asked for a decisive battle with the rebels before going into battle, and Qin Jin and Chen Qianli continued on their way, they wanted to feel the front army camp of the Shenwu Army at the western foot of Hugao Mountain before dark. Based on Qin Jin's inference, Cai Xide's ministry will at least cross the Hugao Mountain tomorrow evening.
