Shrimp ditch, two mountains and a river, it is the middle of winter now, the river water has dropped to the lowest water level, has already been frozen, and then covered by thick snow, at first glance, it is just a flat snow field. txt full collection download baidu or good search "book shortage la" but if you calm down, sit on this snowfield, and listen attentively, you can still vaguely hear the sound of flowing water under the ice and snow.
However, at this moment, there is silence in the shrimp ditch, and occasionally birds fly across the air, bringing a few more lonely chirps. At this moment, it seems to be a paradise, only the wind rises, the snow falls, and the lone bird crosses the sky.
The silence was broken by a noise from far and near, and more than a dozen cavalry of Xizhao appeared in the shrimp ditch, coming along the road covered by snow, they were scouts sent by Li Mingjun, although he knew in his heart that there could be no danger on the way back, but Li Mingjun still did what he had to do.
It's just that the scout, who was supposed to be shrewd and capable, felt a little funny at this time, wrapped in colorful cloth, carrying some bags behind his horse, and a few chickens hanging from the neck of the horse of two cavalrymen, giggling all the way, from time to time he took out a bottle of wine from the tasting bag next to the saddle, and poured a few sips on his neck.
Li Mingjun is doing a routine, so why shouldn't they be doing a routine? Is there an enemy ahead, of course not, the only enemy is now being left behind by them!
Teasing each other, giggling, and watching the harvest on their horses with satisfaction will make them have a good time this winter. The people here are really rich, and there is no comparison with the situation on their side, Xi Zhao's side, even if they go to grab it, it is impossible to grab anything.
Carried away, they didn't notice that on the side of the road, some of the snowdrifts were clearly a little too high, though they looked like snow falling from some protruding rocks.
Suddenly there was a whistling sound in the air. The snowdrifts exploded suddenly, and a figure burst out from within, ropes flying in the air, landing on the cavalry accurately. With the sound of the attacker's shouting, the rope suddenly collapsed, and the scouts, who were still triumphant, were dragged off their horses one by one, and the attacker dragged the rope man and galloped wildly over the snow, and the horses were frightened. Straight ahead. The scouts were dragged along, and as the ropes grew shorter, they were horrified to see a pair of grim eyes and a scimitar like the one at their waists.
The sound of the porphyry sounded, and the scouts were hit the head, and their eyes went black, and they fainted.
When they woke up, they were horrified by the first scene they saw, the rear they thought was safe, but now it was densely packed with cavalry.
Before they could come to their senses, their eyes were once again filled with a hideous devil's mask. Read the full text of the latest chapter, looking at the horror mask that almost stuck to his nose. The leader of the scouts in the lead of the group whined in his throat and kicked his legs on the ground, trying to move himself back a little.
"Tell me all the situation honestly, and I can spare your life." The voice was a little low through the mask, but the cold killing intent was like a sharp arrow, drilling straight into his heart, making him tremble involuntarily.
"I said, I said." He shuddered.
After a few moments, Guli straightened up satisfied. Everything was as he expected, the other party was not the slightest bit guarded, in fact, the whole incident was in a state of chance, and he secretly arrived in Huining. It was not for this operation, it was originally planned to carry out a big raid after the beginning of spring, but I didn't expect that it would be greatly advanced because of a robbery operation by the Western Zhao army, not to mention that Li Mingjun couldn't think of it. Just a day ago, I couldn't even think of it.
"Send people to keep an eye on him to ensure that Li Mingjun enters the shrimp ditch without noticing, he has 2,000 cavalry, if he detects something and does not enter the shrimp ditch, it will be difficult for us to catch him, and the commander asked us to capture Li Mingjun alive." Gu Li looked at the deputy general Dorjee beside him and ordered.
"Yes." Duoji nodded and turned around to go, but stopped again and looked back at Gu Li: "Division Commander, after our side is launched, can Zhou Zilong's side seal the gap at the other end of the shrimp ditch in time, if he can't seal it, Li Mingjun still has the possibility of running." ”
Gu Li smiled slightly: "You don't need to worry about this, I guess, at this time, Commander Xu should have arrived in Zhou Zilong's army, knowing that Li Mingjun is in this robbery team, do you think Commander Xu can still sit still in Huining?" With Commander Xu under direct command, what do you have to worry about, just do our thing well, two thousand cavalry against two thousand cavalry, we don't have much advantage! ”
Dorjee laughed: "The division commander is really joking, look at these scouts, they should be the elite of the opposing army, with this virtue, can they be compared to us?" Give me five hundred horsemen, and you will destroy them. What are they carrying on their horses? They look like this, can they still fight? ”
The two looked at each other, and they both laughed.
As Gu Li expected, Xu Yuan was still not worried about Zhou Zilong's command in Huining, anyway, this is a young general who has never commanded a big battle, if he doesn't grasp the heat well, it is easy to turn a siege into a chase battle, then his plan to catch Li Mingjun is likely to fail. After thinking about it, he finally took his own soldiers and caught up with Li Mingjun, such a great opportunity, if he let it go, it would be a pity.
Now in Xizhao, there are not many generals who can be used, Li Mingjun is one of the good ones, the opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss this village, there will be no such store.
"Accelerating and approaching!" Xu Yuan's first order when he arrived in Zhou Zilong's army was to let Zhou Zilong speed up his march.
"Commander, the other side has thousands of cavalry, too close, it is not good for us, acceleration can easily make us lose the rigor of the formation, if we let the opponent's cavalry rush over, and we are not ready to fight, the infantry is easy to be penetrated by the cavalry and divided and surrounded." After all, it is not a descendant army, Zhou Zilong still wants to defend himself with Xu Yuan, and it is precisely for this reason that Xu Yuan also has the patience to communicate with the other party.
"That's the norm as you say, but as a general, you must decide your actions according to the actual situation, any military action cannot be static, as before, the other party will be worried that your approach will threaten them. They will definitely want to crush you, but now, they are not far from the opponent's territory, and now they are thinking more about preserving their victory. There are too many uncertainties in fighting you here, and at this time Li Mingjun must be thinking that as long as you reach Pinggu, you will probably not have the courage to chase after you again. Because it is possible that at this time he has already begun to mobilize reinforcements. So approaching at this moment, their biggest possibility is to make a gesture of retreat, in order to tempt you to follow them forward pursuit, until their reinforcements arrive, they can eat you in one bite, if they can eat you, Li Mingjun may want to go back to fight Huining! ”
Xu Yuan smiled and said, "But he would never have imagined that it would be impossible for the messenger he sent out to reach his destination, because on the road he must have taken to retreat to Pinggu, it must have been occupied by Gu Li at this time." And in such weather, under such a wind and snow, the other troops he stationed in Pinggu will definitely not come out, according to what you said, I am afraid that they will not even send scouts. ”
"So, it's approaching at this moment, and it's not dangerous."
Listening to Xu Yuan's explanation, although Zhou Zilong was skeptical, the other party was the chief after all. And after a hundred battles, although he was a little worried, he still gave the order to speed up, compared to Li Mingjun's turtle shrinkage. His troops were advancing much faster, and it didn't take long for them to clearly see the huge procession of wriggling like an earthworm on the snowy field, and at this moment, they also saw the mountains in the distance that encompassed the shrimp ditch.
Li Mingjun's reaction was just as Xu Yuan had predicted, and they suddenly sped up their pace. The old and weak women and children who were caught in the ranks were constantly removed from the ranks and discarded on the snowy fields.
Xu Yuan stared at the entrance of the shrimp ditch, the passage about two miles wide will become the gate of the king of Yama, as long as Li Mingjun steps in, he will enter the ghost gate, and what he has to do is to close the gate.
"Hurry up, speed up!" Xu Yuan knew that the entire length of the shrimp ditch was less than ten miles, and according to Li Mingjun's current team length, when the front team arrived at the exit, the cavalry as cover would not go deep for too long, and he needed to pinch the time to block this gate.
Li Mingjun is indeed as Xu Yuan thought, the closer he gets to his base camp, the more sure he is, if Zhou Zilong dares to step across the shrimp ditch to chase him, he can also attract the opponent a little deeper, and then use the mobility advantage of the cavalry to copy the opponent's back road and eat the opponent in one bite. So at this time, he didn't pay attention to Zhou Zilong, who had been chasing after him, this kind of general who didn't dare to fight, gave up and didn't want to give up, in Li Mingjun's heart, he was already labeled as incompetent.
If a general can't make a decision on the spot, he can only be a failed guy forever.
At the moment, he is in a very good mood, and his opponent is weak, which is always a happy thing. It seems that this Zhou Zilong can sit in this position, not because of his ability, but because he has a good uncle!
Unlike Li Mingjun, who was in the rear, at this time, Guo Fu, who was walking at the front of the team, almost stopped breathing, he looked ahead in disbelief, the dense cavalry filled the valley mouth, and a yellow dragon flag fluttering in the wind and snow marked the identity of the other party, and at the front of the team, the ghost mask that was still extremely eye-catching even in the wind and snow looked extremely hideous at this time, and the soldiers exclaimed, and Guo Fu's first reaction was to reach out and rub his eyes.
This is impossible, it must be that I am too tired, and my eyes will take a dazzle to have such an illusion, how could the Hun cavalry division of the Han State appear in this place, and they did not have wings.
The sound of the loud military horn shattered Guo Fu's illusions, and on the opposite side, a snow-bright scimitar was raised high in the air, and the Hun cavalry destroyed the horses, and under the guidance of the Yellow Dragon Banner, they stepped on the snow, rolled up strands of snow and mist, and rushed towards them.
"Get those mud legs out of the front and stop them." After a short period of panic, Guo Fu's instinct as a commander finally reacted, he wanted to buy time to arrange his troops, the terrain of this place was narrow, as long as he could line up in a thick formation, it was not impossible to withstand the cavalry in front. And at this time, the quickest thing he can use is undoubtedly these captured people.
Xi Zhao's army was in a panic, but it was also this idea, and one by one the people dragged to the front, standing in a row under the pressure of swords and guns, and behind them, Xi Zhao's army was busy preparing formations.
For the convenience of their movements, they did not bring heavy weapons for long-range cover, and the infantry bows they carried on their bodies were too small a threat to the cavalry advancing at high speed, especially the cavalry of the Han State, which was armed to the teeth.
Looking at the crying and desperate Huining people in front, Dorjee involuntarily slowed down his horse speed and looked at Gu Li, but Gu Li didn't seem to see his hesitation, at the moment when Dorjee hesitated slightly, he had already crossed the front and rushed straight to the crowd in front, Dorjee bit his lip lightly, and hit the horse to follow.
Guo Fu was horrified to see that he used the flesh wall formed by the people of Huining to play no role at all, and the cavalry of the Han Army, who had always claimed to love the people like children, did not hesitate to rush past those people, and where he passed, one by one the figures were knocked away, and then he suddenly woke up, and the opposite was the Hun cavalry, which was the devil general Gu Li, who was called a madman. In order to achieve victory, this woman would not care about the lives of these people at all. (To be continued.) )
