Chapter 456: Before the War

The open terrain and tens of thousands of troops lined up to wait for the enemy.

What is the importance of the momentum of the three armies? There are many aspects, but perhaps the most important of them is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

In the early days of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, many legal systems continued the previous dynasty, the military legal system, extremely harsh and severe, the main general died in battle, the soldiers did not care, and the officers above the captain were all executed, which was not only to protect the main general, but also to ensure the fighting spirit of the army, so in that period, as long as the main general dared to fight to the death, the people below must also risk their lives to fight, if they don't fight, the main general is dead, and they can't live.

However, with the course of history, the relative perfection of the legal system, this system was slowly abolished, but it is not complete, even now, the Lord will die in battle, if he wins, he can atone for his sins, if he is defeated, many people will also be punished very severely.

A prestigious, popular general is the soul of the entire army, if such a character dies in battle, it is a very burden-bearing blow to an army, such a weight, Li Xun counts.

There's a lot of nonsense, and it's a bit far.

Li Xun's martial arts are ordinary, let him charge into battle, Shan Qiu and others will not agree, and Li Xun himself will not do such a stupid thing, so it is better to stay in the back of the Chinese army honestly.

"I said Lao Dan, we are so clearly in a formation here, will the other party come hard?"

Li Xun asked at Shan Qiu beside him, looking a little worried, if the other party avoided and did not fight, it would really be a bamboo basket to draw water, and there was no way.

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice: "We have few people, why don't you come?" ”

Sima Tu said lightly: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the barbarian clan has always been brave and ruthless, but now that there are many of them and few of us, the temptation of this first merit will not be easily abandoned." ”

Li Xun pondered for a moment, nodded, and said no more.

Li Xun only placed 22,000 infantry here, and the remaining 8,000 cavalry, of which 1,000 cavalry, led by Li Cunxiao, went to the southeast, pretending to be suspicious soldiers, pretending to have more than 10,000 troops.

The other 7,000 cavalry, led by Yuan He and Zhao Wei, were each half of them, and they were ambushed five miles away.

In fact, Li Xun's actions and the scouts on Tubo's side have also been monitoring from the side.

It's just that Li Xun's side is on guard, before the army set off, he first sent 2,000 cavalry to sweep and clean up the surroundings, and then, Li Cunxiao's 1,000 cavalry set off first, and Li Xun's large army set off later, and all the cavalry led their horses, marched halfway, and left with their troops.

The two armies are getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two sides is less than twenty miles.

"Big brother, something is wrong, the other party seems to know that we are coming."

De'an said with some concern, the scouts sent out have returned, more than 200 people, only less than 80 people have returned, and more than half of them have been lost.

Dezui sneered: "Langzhou City has been broken by us until now, and it is almost a day, it is not surprising that they have got the news. ”

De'an said softly: "In this case, we might as well withdraw to Langzhou City and wait for work." ”

Dezui glanced at De'an coldly, and said with great displeasure: "If you are afraid of death, you can go back." ”

De'an's face turned red, and he roared loudly: "When will I fall behind you in a big battle?" ”

Dezui raised his head and laughed, and patted De'an on the shoulder: "Don't be angry, I'm just joking with you, the big war is coming, you should keep a calm mind." ”

De'an is also a fierce general with a violent personality, the entire hatred of the Bai clan, he is only afraid of the eldest brother Dezui, and only serves the eldest brother Dezui.

"Big brother, what the hell do you think?"

Dezui sneered: "The Han people are all sheep, and if there are many of them, they are just a group of sheep, with more than 20,000 infantry, why be afraid..."

The scout brought back two messages.

First, the 30,000 Jin army did not retreat, nor did they sit idly by, but took the initiative to attack.

The Jin army was divided into two routes, and the cavalry went to the southeast, the momentum was not small, there were many banners, the number should be about 10,000, the purpose was very clear, with elite cavalry, blocking the 50,000 Tubo army in the southeast.

Second, with more than 20,000 infantry as the main force, he took the initiative to go to Langzhou to seek a decisive battle.

The military plan of the Jin army, Dezui can see through it at a glance, they are all the treasure pressed on their own here, intending to settle the situation in a battle, reverse the unfavorable situation, as long as they defeat themselves, recapture Langzhou, Shanzhou side of the 20,000 trapped army, you can get out of trouble and retreat to Xiaogu County, several large armies gathered, more than 60,000 troops, Longyou North Road may be hopeless, but it is still possible to hold the land of seven states in the west of Longyou.

Ge Wa's order to Dezui was to drag the 30,000 Jin army, the enemy advanced and I retreated, the enemy retreated and I advanced, not to fight with it, to bite to the death, and wait for the arrival of 50,000 follow-up reinforcements from Longbao, to attack back and forth, eat the Jin army, and then close to Xiaogu County, directly into the west of Longyou, so that the entire Longyou Road is all part of Tubo.

This military arrangement is extremely correct.

However, Detsui was not prepared to carry it out, or rather, he was very dissatisfied with Gewa.

After the city of Liangzhou was broken, Gewa originally promised to give 30,000 women and an equal number of male slaves to the Qiu Bai tribe, but because of the collective resistance and protest of the Tubo generals, Gewa in order to win the hearts of the people, could only divide the interests of the Qiu Bai people, and finally only gave 10,000 women and 20,000 middle-aged slaves, in his opinion, he led 10,000 tribes, risked great danger, with himself as bait, rushed into Liangzhou City, and successfully attracted a large number of Jin troops, for which 10,000 tribesmen suffered heavy casualties and more than half of the casualties.

Gewa put the overall situation first, said many reasons, and promised heavy profits, and De Tsui barely suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.

Subsequently, Ge Wa asked De Tsui to lead the army to attack Langzhou, De Tsui originally brought 30,000 Qiu Bai soldiers, Liangzhou battle, 5,000 dead and wounded, and 25,000, De Tsui meant, that is, with his own headquarters of 25,000 soldiers and horses, attack Langzhou, but was vetoed by Ge Wa, only allowed him to bring 10,000 headquarters of Qiu Bai soldiers, and then sent a Tubo general, commanding more than 13,000 Tubo soldiers, Dezui as the main general, Tubo general as the deputy general, jointly attack Langzhou.

In this regard, Dezui was very reluctant, and the addition of Tibetan soldiers meant that after the capture of Langzhou, the interests would be divided.

Langzhou has always been the defense of Tibet, the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou, the original occupier of the Dashi Empire, the front-line position, the small people, the whole state is only forty or fifty thousand people, such a little clear soup and little water, Gewa has to take a bite, Dezui is naturally unwilling, but there is no way, the overall situation is in the hands of Gewa, and Gewa gave Dezui a very good prospect, or rather, drew a big blueprint for Dezui, after the seven states in the west of Longyou were recovered, in recent years, the Jin Dynasty migrated the people of the Central Plains on a large scale, with more than one million people, The total population there, more than two million, Gawa said, as long as you lay there, you can do whatever you want. 2k reading web
