Chapter 861: Sunrise in the East (86)
The war in western Liaoning has undergone a earth-shaking reversal, more than 30,000 cavalry of the Eastern Army, hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers have been turned back from the Liaodong Peninsula, and Tian Dan, who broke through the Kunshan Pass, is still in the dark at the moment, as soon as the army comes out of the Kunshan Pass, he immediately divided the division into two left and right divisions, one led by Huo Si'an, one led by himself, and the two divisions one left and one right, like a big pincer to the county town of Liaoxi. As for Qingtian and other county towns along the way, Tian Shan didn't take a look, in his opinion, instead of spending time attacking these small county towns, it is better to concentrate on attacking the county town of Liaoxi, as long as the county town of Liaoxi is destroyed, and then take advantage of the situation, the army forces Jishi City, after taking these two places, how can these small county towns not fall without looking at the wind?
At this time, it was the end of October, the weather in western Liaoning had begun to turn cold, Tian Dan did not want to fight in the ice and snow, when the first heavy snow came, it was his best wish to draw a perfect end to this war.
At this time, tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Eastern Army were also rapidly approaching them. Wei He's 20,000 cavalry perished too quickly, and after the Eastern Army annihilated this Qi cavalry, the scouts were exhausted, completely covering this predetermined battlefield, which also made Tian Dan not get this situation in the first place, and the loss of control of the battlefield intelligence in just a few days finally led Tian Dan to drill into the big net woven by the Eastern Army.
After Huo Si'an's left army passed through Qingtian, he entered Yunyang, and the 30,000 troops he led also ignored Yunyang County, and prepared to pass through Yunyang to attack Liaoxi County, but at this time, the news brought by the forward scout shocked him and immediately stopped his progress.
Looking at the bloodied man with a vegetable-colored face and tattered clothes brought by the scout, Huo Si'an could hardly believe his eyes, let alone his ears.
"What do you say? What are you talking about? He roared loudly, "Are you spies of the Eastern Army, aren't you here to disturb our army's heart, right?" "
A few cavalry soldiers who escaped by luck cried loudly, for them, this period of time was like spending in hell, first by the two cavalry of the Eastern Army, one after the other, tens of thousands of cavalry disappeared in these two battles, they finally escaped with a life, but in the following days in order to avoid the scouts of the Eastern Army, as well as the pursuit and killing of those villagers, they suffered a lot, they saw a few companions because they were so hungry that they could not stand to sneak into the village to steal food, Then he was beaten to death by the angry villagers, and finally managed to fight by the army of his country, just like a child who was bullied outside, he returned to his hometown and cried about his grievances, hoping that his parents, who were extremely strong in their hearts, could avenge themselves and their companions.
"General Huo, we are not spies, we are from Qi State, we are soldiers under General Wei, 20,000 cavalry, all gone, General Wei was also captured by them, some time ago, I heard that General Wei was captured by them and paraded! One of the leaders cried out loudly.
Huo Si'an swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, closed his eyes, and tried his best to calm down, "You tell me carefully, how did Wei He's 20,000 cavalry not exist?" "
In the narration of several surviving soldiers, Huo Si'an's mind showed a picture, the thoughtless Wei and the battalion, on a stormy night, was suddenly attacked by tens of thousands of cavalry, and the unprepared Qi cavalry didn't even have time to step on the war horse, so they were killed, and finally broke through, but encountered a second cavalry with more mathematics and more powerful combat effectiveness, and the rest also died in a battle.
Huo Si'an's body shook and opened his eyes suddenly, according to the accounts of these soldiers, if there is no exaggeration, the cavalry of the Eastern Army will be tens of thousands, and this is the main cavalry of the Eastern Army. They came back from Donghu.
He jumped up all of a sudden, what is the concept of tens of thousands of cavalry, Huo Sixin knew too well, when he thought that there was such a large cavalry team that might be close to his left, he was from head to toe, like falling into an ice cellar.
"Order the whole army, immediately turn to Yunyang, and take Yunyang County as quickly as possible." He turned around and frantically gave orders to the generals beside him.
"Send someone to deliver a letter to Xiang Ye immediately, the main force of the Eastern Army is back! "
With Huo Si'an's frantic shouts, messengers rushed out one by one, and the Qi army, which was advancing towards the county seat of Liaoxi, turned to the front army, and one turned around, and pounced on the county seat of Yunyang.
At this time, only more than 50 miles away from Huo Si'an's army, there is a cavalry resting by a small river, the cavalry is all over the mountains, although the banner of the Eastern Army, but the clothes on the body are not the standard clothing of the Eastern Army, but varied, the people around them look at the dress of these people, they know that they are not from the Central Plains, but these villagers are not afraid, in their hearts, most of them think that this army is the Hun cavalry under the command of Gao Dudu. The Huns have been naturalized and conquered Dongfu for a long time, and now not only in Jishi County, Hetao area, but also in Liaoxi, there are also a large number of Huns coming and going, and the big guys are also used to seeing these guys of different nationalities who are very different from the locals.
Gao Yuan's policy of ethnic integration in western Liaoning and other places has been fruitful, and under the jurisdiction of Zhengdongfu, now basically no one thinks that it is not my race, and its heart must be different, on the contrary, with the Hun cavalry repeatedly making military exploits on the battlefield, it has become the object of praise from the villagers. In particular, the merchants who often traveled to and from Jishi County were accustomed to seeing the Huns living and working in Jishi County, and through their spread, the local people had basically accepted these naturalized aliens.
However, if they knew that the cavalry of tens of thousands of people was not the Huns, but the Donghu people, they were afraid that they would be scared and run as far as they could. After all, the war between the Eastern Army and the Donghu people has just ended, and in order to meet this war with the Qi people, the Eastern Army has already destroyed the good news of Donghu, and it is also limited to a certain range.
Gao Che looked at several Qi scouts who were pressed down and knelt down in front of several of them, this is Huo Si'an's sentry captured by their cavalry, Huo Si'an is also very careful, the sentry spout came out, and it was dozens of miles away, but these people were very unlucky, they bumped into this Donghu cavalry.
"General Agu, what a chance, it's only 30,000 people, or foot soldiers, as long as we get close, one rush to kill, and we are guaranteed to kill them to the bust! Gao Che touched his beard and said happily: "This is a great achievement, this is the left army of the Qi people, and if you defeat him, you will break Tian Dan's right-hand man!" "
Agu Huai'en is also very eager in his heart, the Qi army is not the Eastern Army, although there are 30,000 people, but it may not be able to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of Donghu cavalry, if it can be successful in one blow, it can indeed be regarded as a great achievement.
Mu Gulu also came over, "Gao Che is right, 30,000 foot soldiers are in the field, unobstructed, and they are on the march, as long as we grasp the timing properly, we will have great confidence to destroy them."
Although Agu Huaien was also shocked in his heart, he had been in the regular army of the Eastern Army for a long time, and he was used to the strict military discipline of the Eastern Army.
Gao Che was very dissatisfied, "It's only fifty miles away from us, let's go at full speed, but it will take an hour or so to defeat them, and then go to Qingtian, what can we get by mistake?" How can there be a reason not to let go of the credit? Agu, you know, we urgently need credit now, otherwise in the governor's tent, we will only have to line up at the door of the tent."
"What if you can't beat it!" Agu Huaien made up his mind not to pay attention to this Qi army, "These Qi troops have been fighting with the Zhengdong Army in Langya for many days, not to mention that they are stronger than the Zhengdong Army, even if they are only seven or eight percent of the Zhengdong Army, can we eat them lightly?" Don't forget, it's not like we haven't attacked the army formation of the Eastern Army, but what was the result? Can you chew it? When facing a large number of foot soldiers, they avoided it, and used the method of swimming to find an opportunity to destroy the enemy, our ancestors This is a lesson in exchange for blood, if we rush to fight this cavalry, we can't take it down for a while, and we miss the time to go to Qingtian County, and when the time comes, let Tiandan run from, I'm afraid that our heads will not be saved."
"How can these Qi troops be so powerful as the Eastern Army?"
"Have you ever fought with the Qi army? How do you know they can't. Just look at the governor so solemnly treat this Tiandan, not a good guy, we act in accordance with the military order, even if there is any deviation in the end, we will not find any forks in us, high cars, wooden bones, we are still in the second place in meritorious service, the key is not to make mistakes. Do you understand?" Agu Huaien said sternly: "Since the governor has appointed me as the commander of the cavalry division, you must listen to my orders, do not disobey, ignore this group, and we will go to Qingtian."
He has been dealing with the people in the Eastern Army for a long time, and he also knows a lot about the situation of the Eastern Army. When he turned around and saw a few Qi scouts, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and shouted loudly: "What are these miscellaneous pieces still for, aren't you still going to invite them to drink wine and eat meat?"
As soon as they heard this, several Donghu people behind the Qi scouts pulled out their scimitars with a bang, and when they raised their knives and fell, they killed several scouts on the spot.
Half an hour later, the 10,000 Donghu cavalry finished resting, turned over their horses, and galloped towards Qingtian. R1152
