Chapter 222: Waiting for Work with Ease
Lu Fang is the son of Pi Lixian, the commander of the Left Tent, and the nephew of Da Tan, after Pi Lixian was captured by Wei together with the ghost Fang, he has always wanted to save his father, but he couldn't find a chance.
Rushing into the Black Mountain camp is of course a way to find death, there are only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Lu Fang's headquarters, and the rest of the soldiers and horses have already been brought to my father, and they intercept Tuoba Tao on the road with the ghost side. As a result, Tuoba Tao was not intercepted, and was first discovered by the Xianbei people, and the whole camp was broken.
He once asked Da Tan to send troops to rescue his father, but Da Tan has failed in the affairs of Wei State three or four times since the winter, losing a lot of men and wealth, and has no intention of provoking Wei again, Lu Fang can only silently train soldiers and horses, recruit warriors, just to one day capture a Wei general, so as to exchange hostages.
It was during the northern expedition of Wei to Rouran, the entire Rouran tribe was frightened and inexplicable, and fled in the direction of the royal court, only Lu Fang not only did not go to the rescue of the royal court, nor did he resist the Wei cavalry, but ordered the five thousand sons of the Qi clan, and went to the wife clan to borrow three thousand people, forming a force of eight thousand people, wanting to copy the back road of the Wei State, if a few more dignitaries could be captured to change their father, it would be great.
Pi Li was first known for his resourcefulness and calm personality, so he was awarded the official position of Zuo Tent Grand Lieutenant by Da Tan, assisting Zuo Xian Wang Wu Ti. It is precisely because of this that after Pi Lixian was captured by the Wei State, Tuoba Tao killed the ghost Fang, but did not kill Pi Lixian, but sent people to persuade him constantly, wanting to soften his mind and completely gain his allegiance.
It doesn't matter if you don't owe allegiance, when Rouran is broken, there is no more such country in the world, and Pi Lixian can only choose to be loyal to Great Wei.
His men and horses had been probing near the Difu Pond for a long time, and the Wei people underestimated the enemy, and when they saw that it was a few herdsmen who had nothing to do, they did not chase after them, fearing that they would be ambushed, so his scouts were able to stay by the Difu Pond for a while, and saw the army heading towards the east, before returning to report it.
A large battalion with only baggage and grain and grass, even if there are some cavalry guards, but there are only tens of thousands of people, and the eight thousand cavalry he brought are all battle-hardened soldiers, as long as a burst of rockets is fired into the camp first, in order to protect the grain and grass in the camp, it will definitely be chaotic.
When the time comes, he will take advantage of the chaos to attack, and he will definitely be victorious.
Lu Fang was immersed in his own fantasies and couldn't extricate himself, but his other brother Haruba beat the leather drum and motioned for everyone to get on the horse.
"Have you eaten enough? Eat enough and continue the march! In the evening or so we will be able to reach the Pond of Dif, when the time comes, we will go around from the east, avoid their scouts, and then steal the camp! "
Lu Fang looked at his younger brother, didn't say anything, and then turned over and got on the horse, looking into the distance.
A little longer...... In a few moments, he would make the Wei people regret capturing his father......
Hey? What is that?
Haruba was the first to roar: "Scout! Scouts go check it out! What's ahead! "
At this time, there will be no wild horses running in the place where the crowd is nomadic, such a large piece of dust, at least tens of thousands of horses galloping to cause such a momentum.
The scouts grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward as if flying, and Haruba and Lufang looked at the dust with gloomy expressions, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long time, Lu Fang gritted his teeth and said: "Didn't you say that the Wei people in the west have already led most of them to the royal court in order to compete for merit?" Why is there such a large group of people here for no reason?"
"Ah Gan (brother) don't worry, I don't think it's a Wei person. We came from the north on purpose, and this cavalry went south but did not move east, not for the purpose of the royal court, perhaps because they also sensed the emptiness in the rear, so they came to steal the camp of their own people?"
Haruba also felt that he had spoken uncontrollably, but now if he is not calm as the commander-in-chief, then the next few generals will be even more panicked.
"Even if it's a Wei person, we have to step on it!" Lu Fang gritted his teeth, "If you don't save Grandpa, you will be a son of man in vain!" We need bargaining chips with the Wei State! "
After a while, the scouts quickly reported that an army of Wei had appeared in front, waving the banner of the tiger's roar, and the number was not clear, but at least tens of thousands, not only that......
"What do you say? They captured a lot of high-riders?"
Lu Fang and Haruba looked at each other.
"Isn't the Western High Car in the Alliance? Are they the troops who are going to the high chariots?"
The number of people in the alliance is also tens of thousands of people in each meeting, and the people of the high car can also fight, if you want to capture them, you must at least several times their number, otherwise they will run away in the high car and will soon be unable to catch up.
"Do you see clearly? What a high-rider?"
"Yes, I saw a large number of high carts being pulled by the oxen of the high cart people, and there were Wei soldiers escorting them in the direction of Difu Pond." The scout's face turned pale, "I saw the men, women, and children of the high chariots tied together, driven by many knights, and the war horses were endless, not only cavalry, but also substitute horses, and the momentum was so great that it was simply terrifying."
"Two masters, should we take shelter for a while, wait for them to return to the camp south, and then continue the march? If we meet in the middle of the road, the number of the other party is several times that of us, even if we shoot to death, not to mention there are high cars, if the high cars are used to form a village, we can't run at all! "
The cavalry is the heaviest of its movements, and if the horses charge at close range, it is enough to trample the enemy into a pulp.
The reason why the high-speed charioters can survive on the grassland for so long is because the high-chariot cars are tall and can be connected as a temporary camp in times of crisis, especially when encountering cavalry, hiding behind the high-chariot and shooting arrows can resist many enemy attacks.
Fortunately, there are not many trees on the grassland, and the number of cars of the high-speed car people is not much, and the construction of the high-speed car is not easy and easy to damage, and the speed is not very fast. [,! Relying on this set of tactics to run rampant in the grasslands.
"Agan, what should I do?"
Haruba felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only wait for his brother to come up with an idea.
Lu Fang and Haruba lost their father, and their forces weakened a lot all of a sudden, and now the cavalry they brought with them was all the soldiers and horses they could bring out, so naturally they could not lose anything.
Their father is also the king of the tribe, although he is not the king of Khan, but he is also one of the best lords in the east, but there are many tribes in the east, and without the deterrence of Pi Lixian, if they lose these soldiers and horses, even if there are no Wei people to fight them, there will be Rouran people to rob their territory......
So Lu Fang thought for a moment, gritted his teeth rattle, and scolded hatefully: "Wait! Wait for these jackals to pass! Sooner or later, their captives will become ours. When they are gone, we will go south again, and at most we will camp at night! "
"Still going for a sneak attack? Agan, this is tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, we just ...... people"
Coupled with the people and horses in the Difuchi camp, the number of this group of people has exceeded them by three or four times, even if the people they bring can each defeat one against three, it is not considered to be nine out of ten!
"They have captured so many high-riders, and when they return from the high-chariot victory, they will surely celebrate and not notice our coming. And they have traveled a long way, and they are already too tired to do it, and once they get to the barracks, they will celebrate again, and they will be tired and fall asleep. You think the other party has a lot of people, but I think it's a good opportunity from God! "
Lu Fang bared his teeth, "When the time comes, we attack the enemy camp at night, and then rescue the high-roller people, and the two sides will definitely be able to capture that camp!" "
"You're Agan, I'll listen to you."
Haruba thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with waiting for work, so he said no more, and ordered everyone to dismount and rest, wait for the Wei and the Gaocha people to leave, and then go south.
When this group of Rouran people heard that a large army had appeared in front of them and was ready for battle, as a result, the main general ordered everyone to dismount and raise their horses, and they immediately seemed to be deflated.
Not long after they had finished eating, they were asked to rest, and after eating, the afternoon sun shone warmly, and after a while, a few Rouran soldiers fell asleep back to back. The sleepy insects seemed to be contagious, one by one, and after a while, they snored.
They marched day and night, they were already very tired, Lu Fang thought that they would have to steal the camp at night, maybe it was another night of hard fighting, it was better to let them rest for a while at this time to recuperate, maybe they would have more energy to fight at night, so they did not let the army head wake them up, but only arranged a few teams to patrol nearby, in case the Wei scouts or stragglers bumped into them.
"Ah Gan, you can sleep for a while, I'll just watch." Seeing that Lu Fang did not dare to slack off, for fear that he would be tired before he arrived at the place, Haruba persuaded him to take off his armor and rest for a while.
Lu Fang was grateful, and he was indeed so nervous that he couldn't do it, and when he heard his brother persuade him, he took off his armor, spread out the felt, and prepared to take a nap.
The other end.
He Mulan, who had arranged a qiē early in the morning, deliberately turned the team so that the whole team looked like it was going from the north to the south, rather than going north to greet others.
As for the whirlwind, the high chariots, and the huge number of soldiers and horses, they are naturally also frightening.
"I really have a few friends." He Mulan thanked Di Staple Food and Hu Lu in advance, the bone protector, and the person in charge of the Yuan Su clan." If it weren't for you helping us make this scene regardless of life and death, I'm afraid that team would have been killed a long time ago."
"General Hua is polite, you are here to escort us, and this is also for our own safety, not to mention disregarding life and death."
Hu Lu Feihong shook her head with a smile, "It's just that these Rouran people probably can't guess their heads and can't imagine that the women sitting immediately are all women in men's clothes, and the whirlpools are also fake......
Of course, there are not tens of thousands of tigers in the army, but there are a lot of old and weak women and children who go south, plus the tall cars who escort these high-speed people are young and strong, it is not a problem to make up the number of 5,000.
These tens of thousands of people drove war horses, plus pack horses and substitute horses, and under the mighty and mighty, it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people. Coupled with the borrowed carts, the captives that the old men and children pretended to look like tens of thousands of people returning victoriously and escorting the booty back to the camp from a distance.
Everyone knows that the morale of the troops who have just won is the strongest, and there are teams with high chariots that can be used to block the cavalry at any time, even if this group of Rouran people is reckless, they will not attack more with less, not to mention that it is possible to face the team at the peak of morale.
These people didn't dare to take risks, so they could only wait for the army to pass first.
They waited in place, but the Tiger Ben army was fighting hard, and the cavalry of the rear battalion was coming as a rescue, and it didn't take long for their troops to really reach tens of thousands.
"Report! The enemy is now dismounting and resting, and many soldiers have even removed their weapons and armor and are sleeping! "
The grass was high in the spring, and a few scouts ventured to climb closer, and when they saw this, they immediately rushed back to investigate. The better the other person sleeps, the more panicked he will be when he gets up, which is an eternal common sense.
"General Hua is really a god!"
Where have a group of high-tech people seen such a thing like a god, and they are immediately impressed in their hearts. Nomads have always been straight to the point, no matter how many people come, a battle to the end.
"It's not that I'm a man of God, but if I'm the commander, and I see a large army in front of me after a long-distance attack, and I can't pass it, and there may be a fierce battle at night, I will definitely order my subordinates to rest on the spot and store horsepower."
He Mulan heard the words translated by several high-speed chariot soldiers, and explained with a smile: ". [,! Now the situation is just right, just wait for our army to meet quickly."
"General Hua, since the other party has already rested, also dismounted, and went to Jia, there are quite a few of you, why don't you go to the battle now?" Hu Lu Feihong is the eldest son of Hu Lu Guangdou, and when he heard such news, he couldn't wait to immediately take the Tiger Ben Army to rush and kill.
"Our people are precious, and I don't want to risk them unless I'm completely sure." He Mulan has not been able to get the Tiger Army for half a year, so naturally no one wants to lose. Not to mention that there are also comrades like Mangu, Hu Lihun, and Na Luo Hun, and they can't send them into a crisis.
It's naturally a good thing for the other party to slack off, but on the other hand, they have really rested, and the horsepower is just right. As soon as you react, turn over and get on your horse, you will immediately have the strength to fight.
When the time comes, it will be a vicious battle.
He Mullan is a modern person, accustomed to the rhythm of modern prophets knowing themselves and knowing their opponents, and then fighting after the arrangements are made, and does not appreciate the courage of Xianbei people who are not afraid of death and are not afraid of death.
Courage and morale are naturally necessary, but that does not mean recklessness and fanaticism.
Calm, braking with static, and standing upright with odd victory, this is her way of using troops with Hermulan.
It was only half an hour, and the defenders of Difu Pond arrived quickly, much faster than He Mullan had expected.
"Great, General Hua, please let our warriors rush with you!" Hu Lu Feihong has been stimulated by the rolling army, and he can't wait to rush and kill for a while.
He Mulan smiled and declined his kindness.
"No need, our 10,000 people are enough, when the army is dispatched, you should protect your people!"
"Since they're all allies......"
"Oh, you're so annoying, I won't let you fight because you can't keep up with our speed, but you want to hold us back!"
Mangu let out a low roar unceremoniously, wielding his axe.
This is the weapon he has recently acquired, and he is using it in his hand, waiting to drink blood and cut it.
"May I ask what the general was talking about?"
Hu Lu Feihong asked the Gao Che soldier who was interpreting on the side in a low voice.
The high-chariot soldier looked at him, and then at the soldier behind him, and since he admitted in his heart that what the barbarian said was good, he was reincarnated to be supreme, and these high-chariot people were indeed inferior to their people. And the cavalry is the heaviest formation, and if they disrupt the formation, it will be a disservice.
So the charioteer opened his mouth to translate: "The general said, we are here to protect you, how can we let you bleed?" You are waiting in the rear for our triumphant return, and you will sing our praises."
In a word, the high-tech people were in tears. Since they became the slave clan of Rouran, every time there is a big war, they must go on an expedition, if you say how many battles Rouran has fought, how many times have you killed the brothers and children of the Gaoche people, how can anyone ever sue them......
- "How can I make you bleed?" You just have to wait for the victory to come back?"
Just this sentence is enough to wipe out the wisps they originally had.
The general and Hermulan who had rushed to the aid of Difuchi gave the high-chariot soldier an approving look, and Hermulan silently wrote down this man, and took him with him as an interpreter when he was about to turn back and march to Jinshan.
Peanuts are good, but they are noisy, not as good as this young man.
"All the tigers are ridden, change the war horses!"
He Mulan's men and horses had already been prepared, and at this time, they listened to the order, and immediately changed their horses and set up their weapons.
At the same time, the friendly forces also ordered to change their horses.
"Blow the trumpet, the whole army assault!"
Mullan pointed to the north.
"I'm going to let them have no return!"
"Order!"
