Northland Volume Chapter 122 Ambush in front of the White Wave Valley
Chapter 122: Ambush battle in front of Baibo Valley
……………………………………
Although no one dares to underestimate Xun You, everyone is polite, but this has nothing to do with personal prestige, everyone just values his identity. This is also a helpless thing, after all, Xun You has only been in the Han Zheng Army for a short time, and he was not even a soldier before.
Xun You has been watching from the side for a long time just now, these brigade commanders are more than a cow, except for Han Shao, that is, Marshal Gao, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress it if someone else comes. Oh...... Probably Zhicai also has a way......
Xun Yu was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard Gao No.'s name, immediately got up, stood upright, and replied, "Yes!" Then he quickly sorted out his thoughts, thought about the words, and said: "Baibo Valley is the nest of the thief army, and it is mutually supportive with Linfen and Jiangyi, if we can't fight quickly, we will be attacked from three sides." It's foolish, it's better for us to take advantage of the situation, make a big fanfare, make an all-out attack on Baibo Valley, deliberately attract Linfen and Jiangyi thieves to rescue, and then use the advantage of cavalry to ambush two reinforcements halfway, and then turn back to attack Baibo Valley, then there is plenty of time and a greater chance of victory. ”
Zhao Yun couldn't help shouting yes, not for anything else, if it was a fortification, their cavalry would basically stand by and watch the excitement, but if they could bring out the two Baibo reinforcements, then it would be time to see the cavalry play majestic.
Gao Jie nodded and said, "If you attack the enemy, you will save it, and cut off the enemy's wings." If Baibo Valley loses reinforcements, morale will inevitably be low and people will be panicked, and it will be much easier to attack again. In addition, a brigade can be placed in the rear and take the opportunity to attack Jiangyi. ”
If Liu Hanshao is here, he will inevitably make a sudden realization, isn't this the legendary "encirclement and reinforcement"? A big white wave is placed here, everyone wants to reach out and touch it, let's chop off the other claws that come over first, and then we can touch it as much as we want.
Seeing that everyone praised Xun You's plan again and again, and there was no objection, Gao Jie lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and he had a resolution in his heart, and then shouted: "Liu Pi! ”
"Here!"
"Order your troops to be placed in the rear, march into Jiangyi, and wait for the Jiangyi thief army to support Baibo Valley, and then look for an opportunity to capture it. Remember, don't storm it, if you can't do anything, you should pursue the reinforcements of Jiangyi as soon as possible, and form a flanking attack with me. ”
"Yes!"
After Liu Pi sat down, Gao Jie shouted again: "Wu Kuang! ”
"Here!"
"Order your department to make a big show and make an all-out attack on the White Wave Valley. Remember, if the thief army in the valley rushes out, you must resist me to the death! ”
"Yes!"
"Zhao Yun, Chun Yuqiong!"
"Here!"
"Order your two departments to coordinate and ambush Linfen reinforcements. Also, keep an eye on the battle situation in the Baibo Valley at all times, and if the thief army is strong, rescue the 10th Brigade and assemble at our place. ”
"Yes!"
Although Zhao Yun and Chun Yuqiong answered very loudly, they were always depressed in their hearts. The 10th Rescue Brigade shows that Wu Kuang is loose, but we are going to assemble with you, are you worried that we won't be able to handle it?
But before they were depressed, they only heard Gao Jie say again: "In addition, the two of you are cooperating, led by Zhao Yun." ”
Chun Yuqiong was even more depressed......
But there is no way, Zhao Yun has a special identity, although at a glance, everyone is a brigade commander and a quasi-colonel, but they are Han Shao's brothers. Usually Zhao Yun will definitely not talk about this, but at the critical moment, others can't help but care, in addition, don't look at Zhao Yun's youth, he is ruthless, let Chun Yuqiong think about it for a while, and he is really a little stunned.
"Yes!"
The two of them answered at the same time.
"Hua Xiong."
"Here!"
"You come with me to ambush the reinforcements of Jiangyi."
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's all go back and get ready. Early tomorrow morning, the army will set off! ”
Everyone got up at the same time and replied loudly: "Yes!" ”
…………
The White Wave Valley is the place where the White Wave Army raised its troops, not a city, but more like a huge cottage. Wu Kuang's brigade belonged to the vanguard brigade, and after running to the Baibo Valley, he shouted open the gate blocking people's houses. At first, the Baibo army in the village rushed out once, but it really couldn't withstand the attack of the Han army, and after retreating, they guarded the gate of the village and couldn't shrink out. So, Wu Kuang ordered people to throw fire arrows, the gate of the village is wooden, and the weather is dry and cold, it doesn't take much effort to cause a fire, which looks very violent.
Not to mention, if Wu Kuang takes the opportunity to attack and kill now, he may really be able to fight in one battle, but his own losses will definitely be not small. Because this is the lair of the White Wave Army, the wives, babies, and stolen cattle are all here, can the White Wave defenders fight to the end without dying?
Similar to the deduction, the gate of Baibo Valley was on fire, and the defenders were a little panicked, so they immediately sent people for help. From Baibo Valley to Jiangyi, sixty or seventy miles back and forth, this time is the best time for Gaojie and Zhao Yun to set up an ambush.
The Han Zhengjun had three meals a day, and there was a thing called "pancakes", in which various grains were mixed with white flour to make a batter, and then spread out and fried on a large iron pan. A pancake is three feet in diameter, as thin as paper, folded like a book, and can be stored for a long time after drying without rotting.
It is said that pancakes were also invented by Han Shao, and they were specially used to satisfy the hunger of soldiers when it was inconvenient to bury the pot to cook during the march. In addition, each soldier will be issued a cloth bag, which is filled with pancakes, which is also a personal ration, and marching on his back can greatly save the cost of transporting food for the army.
The soldiers carried a part of their rations on their backs, and of course they were at peace in their hearts, and there were rumors that this thing could be used as leather armor on their backs. Of course, this is just a joke, indicating that pancakes are not very delicious when they are dry and hard, but they can fight hunger, and when you eat them, they will be much softer if you smoke them on the fire or soak them in hot soup.
At noon today, Zhao Yun and the others ate pancakes, did not make a fire, did not make food, for fear of scaring the Linfen reinforcements. Zhao Yun depressedly tore off a piece of pancake and stuffed it in his mouth, thinking to himself: The pancakes made by the eldest brother at the beginning were a must, smeared with sauce, rolled with green onions, and even wrapped in scrambled eggs, and the mouth was fragrant when he took a bite, why did he almost lose his teeth when he took a bite now?
This poor stupid baby doesn't want to think about how many ingredients he put in when Liu Hanshao shouted at him to eat, and the pancakes folded into squares after drying can be used as leather armor, how can he not be toothless?
Zhao Yun tore off another piece of pancake and handed it to his white horse, which was quite good. The horse was also given by Liu Hanshao, when the cavalry brigade of the Han Zheng Army was formed, Liu Hanshao asked people to pick such a horse from the palace stables, but unfortunately the name was not called "Illuminating the Night Lion Beast", but "Erha", because this goods is the same virtue as the current Zhao Yun, and he wants to rush when he sees the enemy, and he doesn't know what it means to be afraid.
Erha is Erha, no matter what it is called, Zhao Yun likes it. If it weren't for the fear of injuring the eldest brother and the third brother, Zhao Yun really wanted to worship Erha. That's right, it shows that when Liu Hanshao named this name, he was implying that Zhao Yun was like a big ha.
The Fifth Brigade waited for most of the day with nothing to do, even if everyone had cotton clothes and cotton pants, but the taste of staying in the barren mountains and wilderness was not pleasant, wouldn't it be dinner and have to eat another pancake?
Suddenly, a reconnaissance staff officer ran quickly towards Zhao Yun and reported that reinforcements from Linfen had arrived.
Zhao Yun immediately stood up from the root of the tree where he was sitting, wiped a handful of frozen water and snot, and asked, "How many people?" ”
"About 10,000 more."
"Whose flag?"
"Lee."
Rushing to the back of the slope, Zhao Yun secretly checked the situation on the road, and sure enough, the team was two or three miles long, with a big flag in the middle, and a person riding a horse, should be one of the leaders of the Baibo Army, Li Le.
"Pass the order down and let the brothers prepare."
"Yes!"
…………
Chun Yuqiong had also learned the news of the arrival of Linfen reinforcements, and it didn't even take long for the black line to be faintly visible. His second brigade was blocked on the main road, and the Linfen reinforcements wanted to return to Baibo Valley, so they had to be eliminated first.
At this time, the Linfen reinforcements had also discovered that someone was blocking the road, and they still didn't know who the other party was. There is a flag, but there is no font size on the flag. After receiving the request for help, Li Le hurriedly led the army back, but the person who asked for help couldn't tell who was attacking Baibo Valley. Li Le couldn't figure out how the other party could bypass Wenxi and Jiangyi and directly attack Baibo Valley if the other party was Niu Fujun?
However, none of these matters now, the most important thing is that everyone's wives and babies are in Baibo Valley, once they are beaten down, they will be controlled by others, and the consequences are unpredictable. Therefore, Li Le didn't care if the soldiers were tired and panting after marching for dozens of miles, and only saw that the other party was not numerous, so he immediately ordered an attack.
In fact, the families of the soldiers were also in Baibo Valley, eager to save people's hearts, and everyone was full of energy, and their momentum was high, and they all shouted and rushed to Chun Yuqiong's department.
There are rejecting horses on the road, swords and shields behind them, and then crossbowmen. Although Liu Hanshao said that he wanted Cao Xing to bring out a crossbow brigade, it was only to cultivate professional and powerful long-range troops, in fact, each department had its own various troops, which cooperated with each other, but the number was different.
Before rushing to the rejection of the horse, a large number of Linfen reinforcements had fallen, but the family was behind the enemy, and they couldn't help but not fight hard. One group was repulsed, and then one group was pushed up, and so repeatedly charged, and finally filled in front of Chun Yuqiong with his life.
The sword and shield men were already on the front line, the crossbowmen retreated, scattered freely, and the spears followed, taking advantage of the gap to kill. Chun Yuqiong secretly thought that as long as the enemy didn't run around, he would be sent to death one by one, probably his second brigade would be able to wipe out all these people on the opposite side. Of course, this is just his beautiful fantasy, if the enemy suffers heavy casualties, and the fight is to the end, will the fool rush up again? What's more, some people don't allow him to think about this beautiful fantasy for too long, because at this moment, the trumpet of the charge sounded on the western hillside...... It's over, and the food grabbers are coming.
Thousands of iron horsemen roared down from the western slope, and the momentum was so fierce that the Linfen reinforcements were dumbfounded. By this time, the fools understood that they had fallen into an ambush by the enemy, and Li Le immediately gathered his subordinates and planned to retreat south and retreat to Linfen. But he had not gone far before he heard the strange sound of the trumpet, and this time there were more enemies, two or three thousand horsemen.
There is a word called ten thousand horses galloping, in fact, thousands of horses galloping is also very scary. In the dust and smoke, red flags were unfurled, and in front of the largest flag, a white horse was like a dragon stepping on the yellow clouds, and immediately a member of the army rushed towards Li Lezhong's army......
