Chapter 197: Fame (4)
(The first leader of the Beixiong alliance was finally born, thanks to the reward of addict, and added a new chapter to it.) )
The snow was falling and the north wind was howling, and soon the heavens and the earth were dyed white.
More than 3,600 horsemen, galloping south in the heavy snow, the horses' hooves on the ground, the ice and snow crushed, turned out the cold and hard soil, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of armor colliding, all of which were the fierceness and ferocity of the men of the Northland.
Li Po tried his best to distinguish the road and direction in the heavy snow, in fact, he and the cavalry he led were similar, and they were not very familiar with this place, but the general direction would not be wrong.
In the afternoon of this day, the long post road finally appeared in front of the army.
At this time, the whole army almost understood, and Li Shenjun led them around the edge of the Yunnei Racecourse, drew a half-circle, and came to the south of the Yunnei Racecourse.
Li Po raised his arms high and let the army slowly stop.
He wiped his face fiercely, a lot of ice and snow fell, and when he looked back, the soldiers of the Sui army who followed behind him had been dyed white by the snow, and he couldn't see people's faces anymore.
But the heavy murderous aura is already accumulating, and Li Po has no doubt that no matter how many enemies they encounter at this time, they will be able to meet them and fight with the enemy.
The courage and fearlessness of the soldiers of the Sui army, perseverance, hardship and hard work, are not slightly worse than Beihu, which he has seen too much in the battle of Liaodong.
He had come here with his troops, and as many times before, it was full of gambling properties.
The bet is that the enemy does not know, who the opponent they are going to face, and does not know. Where they came from.
Moreover, there is also a bet that the Turks will not put any scouts behind them.
The trail of thousands of cavalry could not be concealed. But he gambled on a time difference, and bet that the enemy hadn't noticed their movements yet.
Most importantly. He was betting that the Turks would rest in the ranches of Yunnei.
In fact, Li Po used the wrong words completely.
This is not called gambling, this is called judgment, every leading general will always judge the enemy's movements in advance, and then make corresponding arrangements and responses.
If you judge correctly, you will have the upper hand in the battle that follows, and if you judge wrong, there is nothing to say. That would pay for mistakes.
War is not a fair game, but sometimes it is fair and terrible.
The one who can cling to the corner of the goddess of victory's clothes is the darling of war.
Of course, according to Li Po's character, he will definitely not make any decisions such as breaking the kettle unless he has to.
He was most certain that the Turks would not find out about them beforehand, and that the damned coincidence of the steppe would not happen at this moment.
With this prerequisite, there are actually a lot more options.
Here, attack the enemy who has not yet realized the danger. are the most advantageous position, because they have come behind the enemy.
If the Turks followed their trail without stopping, he would not choose to follow, it would be too dangerous. He would take these thousands of cavalry and go directly back to Yunnei City.
Look at how good the back road is.
He has begun to gradually adapt to the rhythm of war. The style has gradually become clear, that is, fast, accurate and ruthless. Find the enemy's weak underbelly and attack without hesitation. One hit missed, and then it flew thousands of miles away.
Don't be greedy, don't be impatient, and never let yourself be in too dangerous a situation.
According to Li Po's own words, that is, fighting a war is a life-saving business, those who are not afraid of death and those who are afraid of death die quickly, and only those who do what they can and understand what material they are can live long enough.
The words are too rough, translate it, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
"Order, the whole army is camped on the spot, all work hard, survive this night, everyone can have a good barbecue and eat something hot."
Actually, the snow is not too cold, and the snow is the hardest time.
As for the enemy, such a big snow, so close to the enemy, he still had to beg for it, so more than 3,000 Sui troops stopped next to the post road in such a big way, wearing a white coat, chewing hard jerky, waiting for the arrival of the night.
Aside from the heavy snowfall, this is simply a replica of the raid on Unnai Racecourse a few days ago.
In the same place, Li Po can always play tricks, and this kind of ability is really not something that everyone can have.
The heavy snow stopped before dark, and the more than 3,600 soldiers of the Sui army almost turned into 3,600 snowmen.
The north wind began to whirlwind and the temperature dropped all at once.
Li Po exhaled white gas, and a little hot air on his body seemed to be sprayed out with his breath, and his body couldn't help shaking.
If it goes on like this, will it freeze to death? Li Po muttered a little.
Immediately, Li Po sent an order down and asked the generals to drive all the soldiers up and let them wander back and forth like zombies.
This scene looks a little funny, but Li Po felt that at least he could know that these guys were still alive.
Everyone immediately brought wine, but the degree, it was really better not to drink, a piece of ice lump chewed and swallowed, the taste, really called the inside and outside transparent and sour.
Will people freeze to death at night after heavy snowfall?
Li Po told you that he would, when he was in the camp camp, he felt it most clearly, and after the heavy snowfall, the most people died.
But more than 3,000 strong Northland men, who have food and can also burrow under the belly of the horse to avoid the wind and cold, then, except for frostbite, there will be no non-combat attrition due to the cold.
In the middle of the night, Li Po hugged the horse's neck and hated to kiss him, if he didn't have these war horses by his side, it is estimated that his soul would be blown away by the north wind now.
"Order, get on the horse, pull out, pull out."
Li Po roared tremblingly, his ears were already not very good, and it was estimated that he felt that the sound he roared out was not much louder than the meow of a cat.
In Suosuo's voice, the figure swayed in the darkness like a ghost, and Li Po climbed on the war horse with difficulty, and when he continued to do it, he felt as if the egg was about to break.
Rushing to the cold northwest wind once again made the Sui army miserable.
When the sky was dark, the Sui army finally came to the destination, and tried hard to pull out the waist knife, which made them feel that they would rather fight face to face with the enemy than suffer this crime.
A few days later, the Sui army returned to the settlement on the northeastern edge of the racecourse, where a battle awaited them.
The morning light was slightly dewed, and the appearance of the settlement gradually became clear.
Li Po's judgment was very accurate, the Turks chose to rest here for one night, perhaps because of the heavy snow, or it may be that the Turkic generals who led the troops were the same as those before them, and underestimated the enemy.
In any case, in the settlement, with the neighing of war horses coming from the north, the existence of the enemy has been proven.
The Turks were somewhat lazy and slack, not at all like they were in the midst of war.
But Li Po, who has experienced the battle of Liaodong, is not strange at all, the soldiers after the army are actually quite comfortable, if it weren't for the emperor's goods to see what Sifang City, Li Po felt that he could raise himself fat under Liaodong City.
However, Sui is not Liaodong, and the Turks do not have a million troops available, so how can they be so lazy? Li Po decided that he had to give them a long memory.
This time was significantly different from the last time, the soldiers and their horses were very tired, and they were also very cold.
So, there's not that much effort to waste.
Moreover, the more than 3,000 Turkic cavalry is not as easy to deal with as the previous Turks.
The settlement area is very quiet, the Sui army is waiting for orders, there is no need to mention the morale, it has long been frozen, and the Sui army, including Li Po, hopes to end this battle as soon as possible.
Facts have proved that Li Po's creativity is no worse than Yang Guang's, "Order, dismount, wrap the horse's hooves for me, let's go in quietly, if anyone alarms the enemy, I want his head." ”
"Li Wu, you take someone to the stable and show me the war horse."
With a little arrangement, this unsightly battle began.
A group of Sui soldiers, pulling war horses, as if going home, entered the settlement area, even if they wrapped the horses' hooves, the sound was actually not small.
In particular, there is a thick layer of snow on the ground, and if you step on it, it will make a creaking sound.
But the wind and snow and the severe cold made the Turks sleep very soundly, and they would never have dreamed that more than 3,000 Sui troops would attack them in such a strange way at such a time.
The military orders kept passing on during the march, and the soldiers of the Sui army gradually dispersed, leaving a different number of soldiers outside the houses, they took out their shields, opened their bows and arrows, and they were all in a posture of catching turtles in an urn.
It didn't make the Sui army too happy, and the battle happened inadvertently, and then the screams and cries for help of the Turks sounded one after another like contagion.
"Blow the trumpet."
Li Po roared fiercely, turned over and got on his horse, "Order, take fifty people as a team, and the whole army will disperse." ”
It was indeed a battle like no other, or a bad one, but the results were just as extraordinary.
Li Po used his unique wisdom to change the course of the battle.
Generally speaking, once this kind of raid-style battle starts, it has to go through several stages, the first, charge, the second, the enemy is surprised, the third, take advantage, the fourth, face the fierce resistance of the gathered enemy, the fifth, crush the resistance, and welcome the victory, and the sixth, completely reap the victory.
But this time, the Sui army first dragged the war into a melee, directly entering the second stage, and then, jumping into the fourth stage and the first stage of the mixed process.
Such a surprise attack can only be imagined by Li Po, and only he dares to carry it out boldly, and firmly believes that the victory belongs to him.
After the horn sounded, the battlefield was actually divided into two parts. (To be continued.) )
