Chapter 160: The Last Battle
Li Luo lowered his head and looked at the marching map carefully, Liu Ce and Hu Chajing had retreated for three hundred miles, and used the terrain to block Xirong's pursuers on the north bank of the dew.
Liu Ce is good at defending, calling for Jing to attack, although the right army of Xirong is trying its best to attack, it is safe for a while, and even worse, only the left army of Qiang Xing is still unknown.
Before sending troops, the generals discussed the worst-case scenario was that Qiang Xingzhi had already set up troops along the dew coast, ambushing the army of herding wolves before and after. However, to this day, there is still no trace of Xirong's left army, and occasionally some clues have been found by exploring horses, but it is difficult to know the truth and truth, and no one has seen the army of Qiang Xingzhi with their own eyes, which adds a bit of solemnity to the generals.
Chi Li continued: "General, Qiang Xingzhi's trick has forced us to change our formation. However, he has missed the opportunity, General Di and Mr. Shen run the army to conquer the west, there are many generals, Mr. Shen's wisdom is not under Qiang's line, if you want to withdraw, I am afraid it is not easy. The last general thought that our army was very fast, and first defeated the right army of Qiancheng before the Qiang Xingzhi reached the dew, and when the time came, the soldiers were united to encircle and suppress Qiang. ”
As soon as Chi Li's voice fell, all the generals in the tent nodded, and Lu Dingyuan interjected: "If the city is defeated, Qiang Xing will be unable to support it alone, so he can only retreat to Yingchou Gorge, and I can take back Dizhou as much as possible in a battle." ”
Ding chopped and said: "General, now that the weather is getting warmer, the dew has almost melted, but the river is not wide, and the dew can be crossed in a narrow place, and the Hu cavalry battalion will quietly send troops at night, and in less than a day, you can kill Qiancheng by surprise, and after a long time, I am afraid that Qiancheng will be prepared, and it will be difficult to collect the effect of surprise soldiers." ”
The generals bowed their heads and whispered, quite moved by Ding Shu's proposal, Chi Li saw that Li Luo was still frowning, and asked, "General, but you still have doubts?" ”
Li Luo said in a deep voice: "Qiang Xingzhi missed the opportunity, and we also missed the opportunity. Qiangqingchi soldiers out of the sand lake. Xijon has taken the lead, and our army only relies on hostages, and Xijon has to fight. Qiang Xingzhi wanted to echo with Qiang Qingchi, and broke General Liu's camp first when our army retreated. However, both General Di and Mr. Shen were not easy people, and General Liu's withdrawal was quite slow, so there was no opportunity to take advantage of it. If my guess is correct. The cavalry of Qiang Xingzhi will not be too far from the dew, waiting for the opportunity to move. ”
The generals gasped, and Shi Zechen said in shock: "This Qiang is so bold, he is not afraid that General Di and Lord Changshi will copy their back road." ”
Chi Li pondered: "What does the general mean, Qiang Xingzhi will give up the Tianshui defense line?" ”
Li Luo nodded and said, "If I were him, I would definitely give up the Tianshui defense line, relying only on Qiancheng, and I would never be able to break my army of shepherd wolves." If you don't send Qiangqing Pond to disturb the sand lake, it may be difficult to say. However, as soon as Qiang Qingchi moved, the rest of the Xirong Left Army would definitely not sit idly by. At the latest, one month later, this battle will end, or my shepherd wolf will return, or the remnants of Xirong will retreat to Yingchou Gorge, and there will be no other result. ”
The hearts of the generals were shocked, and the army of the Shepherd Wolf had been dominating Dizhou for several months, and it was finally time for the final battle.
Ding Chu laughed and said, "Use your brains." The last general is far inferior to the general, and he can't guess what this Qiang is doing. But lead the troops to fight. I am by no means behind, I have long wanted to see the strength of the left army of Xirong, and see who can be better than our shepherd wolf. ”
The generals all looked at Li Luo, Li Luo sighed slightly in his heart, and then smiled and said, "Since Qiang Xingzhi is hidden near the left." And we brought him out. Chi Li, did General Di and Mr. Shen send the summons? ”
"Sent over, when our army left Luocao Mountain, the last general had already sent a bird to General Di, and the halfway post had sent someone to report yesterday. Sending the letter in three ways, this time should have arrived. ”
"Okay, the Shuying Camp really lives up to expectations, and now the Flying Bird Book is at least nearly twice as fast as before."
Chi Li said: "When he was still in the Shuangfeng Camp that day, the general instructed to hand over the secret of the book to General Di, and General Di was full of praise after reading it, and repeatedly praised the general in his reply letter. In addition, the battalion also developed a kind of gunpowder, called thunder, which was used by the general before falling into the grass mountain last time, although the damage was not large, but it could frighten the horses, and the cavalry who were caught off guard suffered a big loss. It's just that it's not easy to make, but fortunately, the general ordered General Qi to take care of the battalion more, and this time more than 300 were made and sent over. ”
Ding Chu said disappreliantly: "What can three hundred do?" ”
Chi Li smiled and said nothing, and Li Luo also smiled and said: "Although three hundred is not much, it should be enough to be used as a surprise soldier, this matter is a secret in the army and cannot be passed on." ”
Chi Li continued: "General, do you want to pass on the matter discussed today to General Di again?" ”
Li Luo shook his head and said, "No need, as long as General Di and Mr. Shen know the movements of the Hu cavalry battalion, it is too late to pass on the book." I believe that Mr. Shen will not miss the battle of dew. ”
Chi Liying said: "Dizhou is vast and sparsely populated, but there are also three big cities and eleven small cities, now we have led out the dedicated right army, Qiang Xingzhi's left army will not be long before it will send troops, the time and place are not much different between the two armies, Dizhou fell into the hands of Xirong for only a few decades, Xirong court rarely operated, plus the two generals of the army are not compatible, if you talk about people, my shepherd wolf is still above Xirong." ”
"Haha, General Chi, don't forget that our army is several times larger than Xirong, not to mention my 100,000 army of shepherd wolf, General Di still has 300,000 troops to conquer the west, if they all go out, it will not be difficult to gather 400,000 troops, and then our 500,000 army will not be able to succeed if we are afraid of Xirong's 200,000 shrimp soldiers and crabs." Shi Zechen said in a strange voice.
Chi Li's face turned slightly red, and he said abruptly: "There is no harm in being careful. ”
Li Luo smiled slightly and said: "Speaking of the large number of soldiers and generals, and the accumulation of Dagan for a hundred years, Xirong is still a lot worse, if it weren't for the ministers of the DPRK and China forming a party for personal gain, and the government is corrupt, where would there be the current situation." Seeing that the generals were silent, Ding Shu looked back at the tent curtain, Li Luo couldn't help but smile, and didn't say much, he stood up, glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "Pass the military order." ”
The generals hurriedly got up and shouted in unison: "The last general will listen to the order." ”
"The Hu cavalry battalion is divided into two places, I and General Ding personally led 10,000 Hu cavalry battalion soldiers, crossed the dew overnight, raided the rear camp of the Xirong right army, General Ding immediately ordered the horse to take the first step, and the news must be transmitted to General Liu and General Hu Cha, fireworks for the news, and Qi Li broke the Xirong right army first."
Ding Shu replied in a deep voice: "The last general will obey the order." ”
"Chi Li."
"The end will be."
"You pick 3,000 soldiers in the army who are good at fighting, follow me and General Ding, go 100 miles to the west, hide the military formation, and when the army of Qiang Xingzhi appears, raid the army in Qiancheng, gather my three-way soldiers and horses, and be sure to defeat the right army of Xirong before Qiang Xingzhi's formation."
"The last will obey."
"There are also 300 thunder gunpowder in the army, you can bring them with you, you don't have to force the capture of Qiancheng, just mess up the military formation of Xirong's right army."
"Yes." (To be continued.) )
