Chapter 314 Scales
The battle in the northeast of Yixian County is not a classic example of winning more with less.
But this is a typical battle, in which cavalry is better than infantry, and officers and soldiers are better than righteous army.
Song Jingang is not ignorant of military affairs, this is a rebel leader who broke through the rebellion, and he can lead a team to survive to this day, which also shows his ability to lead troops.
But it is also because of his wild background that he relies entirely on his experience, and his vision is very limited.
He had no idea what an elite cavalry would be like when they stormed the infantry in a frenzied and unreserved manner.
When he led his troops out of Yi County, he was still laughing at Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, for not knowing military affairs, and only sent a thousand cavalry as the vanguard to attack a small city like Laishui, but the follow-up army was nowhere to be seen.
This gave him the opportunity to annihilate this cavalry.
He consciously reacted quickly, and led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with great momentum, only running to the shore of Laishui.
In order to be able to reach the shore of Laishui before the main force of the Youzhou Army rushed to the shore of Laishui, his army marched very fast.
The first striker has almost left the county boundary of Yi County, and the tail behind it is still in the county seat.
In Wei Chigong's eyes, this is simply putting the battle exploits in front of him, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can get it.
Prepared to attack unprepared, the strong army defeated the weak army, and the numerical superiority was also thrown away by the chaotic army itself.
Wei Chigong did not hesitate to lead a thousand cavalry out of Laishui City.
After traveling more than 20 miles, he first attacked the southwest of Laishui City, and defeated more than 500 cavalry cruising in front of the chaotic army.
And then......
In fact, it's just what the so-called is, Wei Chigong led the army to drive dozens of miles. In one day, he engaged in more than a dozen battles with the Song Jingang rebel army.
The corpses of Song Jingang's army, which looked like a long dragon, were all over the field. The army was defeated.
And in one go, he rushed into Shanggu County with Song Jingang, who was fleeing frantically.
This battle. It shows the terrifying impact of the Heng'an Town Army in the field battle, of course, the Sui officers and soldiers against the rebellious army back then were actually such an effect.
Zhang Xutuo's department is just a local military brigade, and it can fight all the way out of the reputation of a famous general at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which is also based on the huge gap in combat effectiveness between the official army and the chaotic army.
Therefore, Wei Chigong's achievements this time have nothing to boast about.
A cavalry force like the Hengan Town Army was in high morale. In the field war, they encountered a chaotic army, and the result was actually inevitable.
In the west of Yi County, Wei Chi Gong's troops captured Song Jingang, defeated Song Jingang's tens of thousands of rebellious troops at the cost of nearly 100 casualties, captured Shanggu County, and won a big victory.
At this time, Wang Zhibi, the lieutenant of Yanmen County, led the follow-up 5,000 cavalry to Shanggu one after another, and quickly participated in the battle of encircling and suppressing the defeated army.
This is the new army of the Hengan Town Army. and Yanmen, the first battle when the Lou Fu cavalry came to Hebei, it was almost the same as cleaning the battlefield, but with their help. Thousands of rebel soldiers were captured.
The rebel army also staged their inherent drama of scattering and fleeing, and a large part of the rebel army ran to the south and threw themselves into Wei Dao'er. By this time, they didn't know either. It was the men and horses from Jin who defeated them, and they thought it was the Youzhou army.
The frightened Wei Dao'er rebelled and lived a long life. When the news reached the ears of Dou Jiande in the south, Dou Jiande and his generals were also taken aback.
They all felt that the Youzhou Army was so capable of fighting, and everyone was still playing a fart, so the sound of waving the army to the north suddenly became smaller......
Dou Jiande thought about it, sent someone to find Wei Dao'er, and habitually started his way of combining vertical and horizontal.
And for Li Po, this is another unexpected victory.
At the same time, it also gave him a more intuitive impression of the rebellious army in Hebei, a thousand cavalry, effortlessly breaking tens of thousands of rebellious troops in the field, if the Turks were also so cowardly, it would be great, but unfortunately, they were just some bandits who made trouble in Hebei.
Subsequently, he sent an order to Wei Chigong and Wang Zhibian, asking them to leave two thousand men and horses to garrison Yi County, and the rest of the thousands of horsemen to come to Zhuo County immediately to listen to the order.
The two of them led the army very quickly, and it was not beyond Li Po's expectations, Wei Chigong also had the intention of competing for merit, the territory of the Hengan Town Army was expanding rapidly, and the generals under Li Po's command were all thinking of adding officials to the knighthood.
It's just that Wei Chi has always been meticulous, and he will not be as straightforward and reckless as Luo Shixin, but he personally brought Song Jingang and several of his generals to Li Po.
I didn't say a superfluous word, but the meaning of praise was unobstructed.
As Wei Chi Gong expected, Li Po was not interested in meeting these leaders of the rebellious army at all, so he quickly sent him an order to correct the law on the spot.
The heads of several famous people in Hebei immediately fell to the ground.
Just like when they were in Mayi City, Liu Wuzhou, Huang Ziying and others died very simply.
Li Po's perception of these leaders of the rebellious army, that is, the so-called reckless heroes, was known to everyone at this time.
Song Jingang was actually the second well-known hero of the late Sui Dynasty who died at the hands of Li Po.
He failed to follow Liu Wuzhou, set off a monstrous storm in Jindi, and failed to divorce his wife and marry Liu Wuzhou's sister, but he still followed the existing trajectory, like Liu Wuzhou, died at the hands of the same person, but changed from a Turkic to a Hengan town.
Fate is wonderful, even if it deviates from the original route, it still creates some events with quite black humor.
And only the culprit, regardless of the rest of the practices, is also Li Po's usual way.
killed Song Jingang and others, the rest of the prisoners of war, and the few remaining people in Shanggu County, who were ordered by him to be sent back to Yunnei.
There were also some grain, grass and ordnance of the Song Jingang Department, but not many, and they were all sent back together, leaving only a part of the armor and arrows that could still be seen in the past for the army to use.
By the end of May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, more than 13,000 cavalry troops finally gathered behind the side of Zhuoxian, silently waiting for the arrival of the Youzhou army.
Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong and others are also preparing for the next battle, and they will make military achievements, so that when they are rewarded for their merits in the future, they can stand out and suppress others.
It's not the first time Li Po has done the thing of waiting for the fighter, this time he is very patient, but as usual, time is not always on the side of the Hengan Zhenjun, so this kind of waiting is still quite uncomfortable.
In fact, the response from the direction of Jicheng was very fast, and on the day after the letter of help sent by Zhuo County to the county town arrived, Luo Yi sent scouts to inquire about the enemy situation in the direction of Zhuo County, and at the same time ordered all units of the Youzhou Army to reorganize their troops and prepare to go on the expedition.
Luo Yi's army is still very capable, and a chaotic army like Song Jingang is far from the Youzhou army in terms of morale, ordnance and equipment, and even combat power.
This is also the reason why the Youzhou army was able to hold on to a corner and defeat Lishanfei, Gao Shida, etc. one after another.
If it weren't for Xue Shixiong and Guo Xuan, the two of them had failed to send troops to suppress bandits, and there was another mutiny within the Youzhou Army, the Youzhou Army at this time would be enough to look at Hebei and make Dou Jiande and others dare not face it.
By the time Luo Yi led the 15,000 Youzhou army out of Jicheng, he actually felt that something was wrong.
The scouts were attacked one after another, and they were unable to penetrate deep into the territory of Zhuo County to probe the enemy's situation.
This phenomenon has never been encountered before.
Even if Li Shanfei led hundreds of thousands of chaotic troops to besiege Youzhou, before the arrival of his army, the scouts could still send back the news, when did Song Jingang and Wei Dao'er have such great ability? To be able to cut off the road to this point, how did Zhuo County's request for help be sent?
This obviously alerted him, so the Youzhou army was not marching fast, and it would definitely not pull a long dragon out like Song Jingang and let others slaughter it.
However, having said that, the geographical location of Zhuo County is too important for Youzhou, Zhuo County is close to Laishui in the west, Juma River and Baihegou in the south, Fangshan in the north, and in the southwest, it is the gateway of Youzhou.
It is similar to the role of Juyongguan in the north of Youzhou.
Only in this way will Luo Yi lead troops to rescue Zhuo County several times, and continue to win over the Lu clan in Zhuo County, but unfortunately, a Hebei clan like the Lu clan is always unwilling to obey, and he needs to make greater effort and patience.
Therefore, he also deliberately delayed sending troops to garrison Zhuo County, wanting to make the Lu clan suffer a little bit, and he would come to the snow to send charcoal again.
When he received the letter asking for help from Zhuo County, he was quite happy and felt that the time had come.
But this will, the smell of danger, made him finally regret it, he shouldn't have ignored Zhuoxian before.
At this time, he also missed the Xue brothers very much, although those two guys were unruly, they were both good at marching and fighting, and they were also quite strategic.
And these henchmen and generals around him are not bad at fighting, but if they really want to discuss important matters in the army, it is all in vain to find them.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Luo Yi sent scouts out while letting the army speed up its march.
This is based on his self-confidence in the combat power of the Youzhou Army under his command, and his reaction.
And Luo Yi doesn't believe that in Hebei today, except for Dou Jiande, Wei Dao'er, and Song Jingang, who else can besiege the Youzhou army and send reinforcements.
He didn't know that before he entered Zhuoxian, every move of the Youzhou army was already in the enemy's sight.
They didn't take a step towards Zhuoxian, and they got closer and closer to the trap that was not a trap.
This time, no one knows what kind of brilliant sparks will collide when the two elite border armies of Jindi and Hebei meet.
But at this moment, one side is ready to go, and the other side is still ignorant that the balance of victory in this battle has been tilted towards the visitors from Jindi at the beginning.
Of course, the strategic and tactical initiative, at the moment when the Hengan Zhenjun successfully walked out of the Flying Fox Road, was actually tightly held by the Hengan Zhenjun.
(Monthly pass, monthly pass, how to write this battle, well, Ah Cao went back to see the blood, looking for a feeling.) (To be continued.) )
