Chapter 1207: Feng Lin Mo Enters
Li Luo looked at the eternal flow of the Zhijiang River and was stunned, the art of war has clouds and forests, this Linshan County is not an auspicious place.
The battle between Dagan and Caohai in Bantian Prefecture started quickly and ended quickly. The 200,000 Caohai coalition army was killed by the 70,000 army led by Li Luo, who lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and collapsed, losing more than 100,000 people, and less than half of them fled back to the Caohai camp north of Jianbei City. This battle achieved the name of Li Luo's hundred battles, and overcame the enemy's shortcomings with the enemy's strength, so that the famous Caohai Iron Cavalry had no power to fight back, and killed several Caohai warriors, and the reputation of the thirteen ghost generals was spread throughout Beifu through the tongue of the people who fled to other states, and Zhuo Cheng also heard it after a while.
On the other side of the Zhejiang River, Yanshen Prefecture.
Separated by a river, the military situation of Yeliangzhou was transmitted to the camp almost within a few hours after the end of the war, and the generals of Dagan breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Li Luo for using soldiers like a god, and the thirteen ghost generals were worthy of their reputation, as well as such unpredictable cavalry tactics, even if General Wuzhi and Longhou were resurrected, they must be greatly appreciated.
Yuan Zhen, the deputy marshal of the Dingbei Army, and another large army led by Ling Gumian of the Northern Expedition joined forces to defend Yanshenzhou. Yuan Zhi held on, and Ling Gumian was always ready to cross the river to attack, and he had to meet Li Luo according to the marching formation. How do you know that the military information that came back turned out to be a good news, Li Luo led his troops to defeat the Caohai Iron Cavalry, pointed at Shiyan Mansion, and made the generals of Yanshen Prefecture happy and convinced, no matter what each other's political views were, Li Luo's ability to lead the army to fight is indeed impeccable.
If there is one less strong enemy, although there is no military merit, but the sea of grass is prosperous, and military merit is still secondary, and it is important to solve the danger of Jianbei City. The Dingbei army is extremely happy, no matter what, Jianbei City has no worries, it can be attacked, retreated can be defended, and it is no longer a dilemma before the month.
The generals under the account are quite interested, talking and laughing, the words are nothing more than Li Luo's miraculous means of the enemy, marching and fighting is one of them, and the military heart is the second, in the past, he has never seen the situation of Dagan soldiers greedily chasing and killing Caohai cavalry, such a grand scene may not have even been at the beginning of Dagan's founding of the country, when the military power was at its peak. Li Luo's leading army attaches great importance to strategy, does not adhere to ancient methods, is brave and decisive, and ruthless, and is indeed a rare general. However, this kind of marching and fighting method can only be used by Li Luo. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the money in the Caohai military camp can be cut off first and then distributed to the soldiers under his command, and then just pass a letter to the court. When he arrived in Zhuocheng, Emperor Wanlong must have not looked at it, and handed over the Chinese book order to return to the case after approving a quasi-word. Such a tyranny of power, even Prince Chun is difficult to compare, as for the rewards promised to the soldiers under his account, after the great victory, how could Emperor Wanlong and the court be stingy.
Ling Gumian sat at the bottom of Yuan Zhen, listening to the talk of the generals complimenting Li Luo in his ears, and there was a sense of glory on his face, but he was not as eager as Wei Zixun. There are no two kings in the country, there are no two marshals in the army, and it is not easy to lead an army alone, but I never thought that I was born under the tent of this handsome man in the western sky. This time, Ling Gumian led the army to march north, although the formation is remarkable, quite sophisticated, not at all like the general who led the army for the first time, Yuan Zhi has praised it several times, but it is a pity that compared with the thirteen ghost generals who are famous in the North Mansion, these rules and regulations have lost a lot of color. Before this battle, who would have thought that the cavalry could be used in such a way, the soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, and the winner is called a god because of the change of the enemy, and Li Luo at this moment may be among the gods and generals contained in the book of war, if you want to cover Li Luo in the limelight, it is not an overnight achievement.
Thirteen ghost generals, gods among soldiers, and so on, if Li Luo hears it, at most he will just laugh it off, not to be happy, not to be sad. After every fierce battle, Li Luo always had a feeling of tiredness that involuntarily appeared. Relying on the king's words to seal the marquis, one will succeed in ten thousand bones, become a general, become one, 70,000 troops waved north, just a first battle, but now there are 40,000 people left, 30,000 soldiers buried in Liangzhou, plus more than 100,000 lonely souls and wild ghosts in the sea of grass, just one Liangzhou can still let go of these souls who died in battle.
If this battle is won, the Caohai coalition army will retreat to Mobei, Yeliangzhou will still be the original Yeliangzhou, and the imperial court will still be the original imperial court, and the next opponent does not know who it will be. In the past few years, the inspection department has been walking on thin ice, if it were not for Li Luo's shoulders, I am afraid that the inspection department's yamen would have been burned clean by a fire. Emperor Wanlong is determined to inspect the world, and to this day, Li Luo's original intention has not changed, and I don't know how much Emperor Wanlong remembers.
Linshan County is located in the east of Jianbei City, the county border is mountainous and forested, do not develop agriculture and pasture, the people in the county mostly live by grazing and hunting, and also have the business of planting medicinal materials. Speaking of herbs alone, Linshan County is well-known throughout Beifu, and many of the herbs in Zhuocheng are from here. However, the people did not benefit much, most of them were merchants who made money, and ordinary people just barely made ends meet after a year of toiling over the mountains and mountains, and they were quite poor.
There are no county yacheng cities within the county boundaries of Linshan County, only some scattered villages and villages and towns are located in the mountains, separate and autonomous, and some are simply held in the hands of the chamber of commerce with backers. The road from Linshan County to Shiyan Mansion is the shortest, and there is no official road in Linshan County for cars and horses to enter and exit, many small roads and branch roads, if there are local people who understand the terrain to guide the way, they can unknowingly step into the boundary of Shiyan Mansion, which is why Yuan Jun chose this place to wait for Li Luo.
When they arrived in Linshan County, the generals of the Northern Expedition had gathered the cavalry soldiers and set up camp, waiting for Li Luo and the three of them.
The morale of the battalion generals is high, and there is a momentum of being like a rainbow. In the first battle of Bantian Mansion, the Dagan cavalry killed as many as 110,000 enemies and lost about 30,000 of themselves. Since the Bandung Emperor ascended the throne, the Dagan soldiers against the Caohai Iron Cavalry have never had such a big victory, known as the elite Dingbei Army, if it can be exchanged for one is already rare, then it is necessary to rely on more for victory, if you want to be outnumbered is almost a luxury, it is no wonder that the Northern Expedition will be named a ghost general by outsiders.
Li Luo encouraged the generals a few words, this battle was broken, and it was indeed a bit unexpected for Li Luo and Yuan Jun to receive such miraculous results. However, it is not without strange points, Yuan Jun said, this time, except for the fierce battle when the camp was broken, the generals of the sea of grass did not work together, and the Emperor Saint Jiucai almost had no intention of fighting, and after leaving the camp, he hurriedly went north, and it seemed that he did not intend to compete with the Dagan cavalry. If it weren't for the Emperor Saint Jiucai's withdrawal so simply, it would probably not be easy for the generals of Dagan to win a big victory, and the twelve leading generals except for Li Luo died in a single battle, which is simply a bit incredible.
