1028 Is It an Opportunity or a Trap
The sound of horses' hooves is particularly clear at night, and the night sentinel who is responsible for communicating the emergency military information, holding the neck of the war horse that is already sweating profusely, hurries to the camp of Yu Xiaowang Tuoba Guoluo.
Behind the outpost, a flag is tied diagonally, and the flag is not a cloth like the Han people, but a cowtail is tied, and it flies unscrupulously in the night wind like a demon with teeth and claws.
Seeing this appearance, even the cavalry patrolling the camp would not stop it, but followed aside, and for it, they had to quickly give way, not to mention the other Hu people in the camp.
Tonight, it was Nakrizhen's turn to patrol the camp, and when he saw the sentry of emergency military affairs passing through the camp like a wind, many Xianbei people were alarmed to peek out of the tent one after another, and hurriedly led people along the way to reprimand loudly, and bombarded those Xianbei people who were curious and stuck out their heads, so as not to cause a riot in the camp at night.
Nakri couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "It's so good to die, it just so happened that I was in charge of patrolling the camp to pass on some ghost military information!" It's been a few days, and it's just dry and hard to survive here...... The Han people are shrunken turtles over there, and we Muwei people don't dare to come forward, what the hell is this! Look at this, in the middle of the night, what are the urgent military affairs? Damn, if you want to fight, just do it, or if you don't fight, you can simply go back to Mobei, and it won't delay the season of your own livestock, it's better than getting moldy here! ”
Naturally, the sentry couldn't hear the real complaint of Kerry far behind, but rushed towards Tuoba Guoluo's big tent like the wind. Yu Xiaowang's big tent of the Chinese army, naturally it is a fierce fight, tall and sturdy Xianbei Xiaowang's personal guards, standing everywhere on duty, heard the sound of horses' hooves, raised his eyes, and was also startled, and hurriedly sent someone into the account to report to Yu Xiaowang, while raising a torch, shining a bright light in front of the big tent.
The sentry came to the tent by the light of the torches, turned over and dismounted, and when he landed, he stumbled and fell to the ground. A personal guard of Yu Xiaowang stepped forward a few steps to help him up, only to see that the sentry didn't even have the intention to wipe the dirt on his face, gasping for breath, and said incoherently: "The Han people over there, move, Yu Xiaowang, I have an urgent military situation that needs to be reported to Yu Xiaowang!" ”
The guards who had entered the big tent had already come out again and said, "Xiao Wang has already gotten up, wait a little longer...... Take this brother to walk a few steps and get back to blood, otherwise this waist and leg will probably not be able to get off the ground for several days......"
The guard holding the sentry answered, and then helped the sentry to walk slowly, and after a while, he couldn't help it, and asked curiously: "What's the matter, brother, what's going on on the Han side, so urgent?" ”
Now the Han Dynasty still lacks secrecy about military information or something, not to mention the Xianbei Hu people, which was originally a relatively loose alliance system, so Yu Xiaowang's personal guards asked casually, and the sentry detective did not have the slightest concept of secrecy, although his breath was a little more symmetrical, but because he was walking, he pulled the waist and leg muscles and tendons, and it was really a little painful, and he grinned and said: "Hiss...... Han Chinese, Han Chinese retreated on a large scale...... Sneaky, a lot of people retreated overnight......"
Inside the big tent, Tuoba Guoluo had already gotten up.
In the past few days, the Han army is close at hand, and the troops on the side of the Xianbei royal court have not heard from each other, whether there is anyone to discuss, can only be a person who spends his heart and soul thinking alone, and even sleeps unsteadily, when the guards have not come in, he has heard the sound of horses' hooves, and has already woken up from a light sleep.
Most of the people who came with Yu Xiaowang were people from various tribes. The personnel in these tribes, if they want to say that they go into battle to fight, there is no problem, but when they have to consider it as a whole and plan it as a whole, they are the only ones who have discussed it a little, and they don't even have anyone to discuss it a little.
"Come in!" Inside the big tent, Tuoba Guoluo spoke.
The guards hurriedly entered with the sentry.
When the sentry saw Tuoba Guoluo, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Qiqi Xiao Wang, tonight we will wait for the sentry to bypass the Han scouts to intercept ...... I found that the Han infantry soldiers actually began to evacuate the camp on a large scale and retreated to the south! ”
Tuoba Guoluo had just fallen asleep, and was forced to get up again, his mind was still a little drowsy, but when he heard this, he immediately stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me more details!" ”
"Yes!" The sentry prostrated and said, "On the orders of Xiao Wang, we bypassed the interception of the Han scouts far away and arrived around the Han camp......
It turned out that Tuoba Guoluo felt that Fei Qian was delaying a little, so he immediately sent a lot of sentinels, trying to understand why there was such a situation, but he had been intercepted by the Han scouts, and he passed in the direction of the front, and in desperation, he had to send people to bypass the scout interception net of the Han people like a huge fan, but he didn't expect the cover up to really bring the news that Tuoba Guoluo was surprised......
“…… Are you looking for real? Not discovered by the Han Chinese? Although Tuoba Guoluo knew in his heart that these sentries would definitely not lie, and what they said must have been seen with their own eyes, but after all, the stakes were very high, so he couldn't help but ask.
The sentry also knew that things were cautious, so he patted his chest and repeatedly said that he and his friends saw it really and there was absolutely no problem......
Tuoba Guoluo asked some more details, including the specific matters he saw when the outpost arrived, and then until the final evacuation, whether the Han army found out, whether there was any reaction, etc., all asked carefully, and finally nodded, waved his hand to let the tired outpost go down to rest first.
Although there is indeed no problem on the Sentinel's side, it does not mean that there will be no problem in Tuoba Guoluo's mind. The sentinel went down to rest, but Tuoba Guoluo himself didn't have any idea of resting at all, and countless thoughts kept colliding in his mind.
Han Chinese withdraw?
Is it their own chance or a ploy of the Han Chinese?
Calculating the time, the royal court warriors of King Budugen are almost here, is it because of this?
Some time ago, there was also a riot among the Han people in Yinshan, could it be related?
So now, what to do?
………………………………
To the south of Yin Mountain, the sky gradually brightened.
Behind them, some foot soldiers were digging the dirt behind this small hill under the cover of the dirt slope, and in front of them were the Han army scouts who were constantly shuttling, spreading a huge fan in front of them, bringing back the latest news from time to time.
In this era, the Yellow River was not very yellow, so it was only called a big river, and the snow water that melted from the mountains in the north of the Yinshan Mountains also flowed into this big river, so the horizontal water flow in the Yinshan Plain was relatively shallow, and the longitudinal water flow in the north and south was deeper, and the Yinshan Plain was roughly cut into a shape like several "Tian" characters superimposed together.
On the other side of this hillside, there is a nameless river, this river is also seasonal, there is a lot of water in spring and summer, and it is dried up in autumn and winter, and there are some sandbanks in the river on weekdays, and people and horses can wade in vain, but after a series of heavy rains in the past few days, the water has also risen, and there is basically no place to wade.
Since the strategy had been set before, Fei Qian immediately moved with the whole army, and even lit more torches at night to make a lot of movements, so that the Xianbei scouts could detect the ......
Xun Chen, who was behind him, was explaining some matters that needed special attention to Zhao Yun and the others, and explained the overall plan in more detail.
In order for a large army to engage in battle, it is necessary to first choose the place where the battle will be engaged, and although this place is not a dangerous place, it is the most suitable.
To behave in the world, it is most necessary to compare hearts with hearts and lead troops into battle, which is also the case.
If it is terrain that is absolutely favorable to one's side, then as long as the opposite side is not a fool, where will it not be guarded?
Therefore, if the Xianbei people feel that it is too dangerous, then the Xianbei people have a great possibility that they will make a direct detour, just like the Xianbei scout detour appeared a few days ago, anyway, the Yinshan Plain is big enough, and the cavalry speed is not slow, and there is no big problem at all for a one-day journey, but once the Xianbei people make a detour, then their original arrangement will not mean that it is in vain?
And now here, although it is difficult to pass with a river on one side, it also avoids the risk of being attacked by the other side of the flank, plus there are not many things around that block the line of sight except for one or two small high grounds, and even the trees are very sparse and cannot block any line of sight, so for both sides, it can basically be said to be at a glance, and naturally it will be relatively fair no matter who it is.
Therefore, in a place like this, the Xianbei people are more likely to choose to fight.
The morning mist was rolling and everyone's faces were covered with dew.
Fei Qian's army flickered in the morning mist, and the neighing sound of the war horses came out of the fog, which made this quiet Yinshan morning show a trace of vitality. Under the high ground, the nameless river flows southward, as if the heavens have specially arranged such a battlefield, so that the Han and Hu people can fight a big battle here!
Zhao Yun stood behind Fei Qian, and said to Xun Chen in a low voice: "Xun Dongcao, let me come to this matter of luring the enemy......
Xun Chen laughed in a low voice: "Zilong, you don't underestimate me!" I don't know how much you are stronger than me, but I can still do this by escaping on horseback, and besides, I pretend to be more like you than ......"
Throughout the ages, on the battlefield, it is actually the same old routine.
The flaws that are exposed may be opportunities, or they may be traps, and of course, the reverse is also true, when the opponent seems to be moving in the direction he wants, there are also opportunities and traps.
The big war is coming......
Just as Xun Chen and Zhao Yun were talking, the scout in the distance in front of them suddenly heard a dense whistling sound, which was rapid and slightly poignant, and then in the mist, there was also a faint sound of Hu Ren's horn!
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, took half a step forward, stood behind Fei Qian, and looked into the hazy mist, only to see the figure of the Han army riding looming......
Xun Chen also walked up, stroked his beard, a little happy, but also mixed with some worry and said: "It seems that Xianbei has caught up, and the action is so fast!" ”
The whistling sounds of both sides in the fog became more and more urgent, as if they were mobilizing something.
Fei Qian was also taken aback by this sudden situation, and Xianbei caught up?
But the preparations for my side are not yet ready!
No, calculate the distance, the Xianbei army is definitely not so fast!
Moreover, the Xianbei people also have to guard against Xu Huang and Jia Xu in the Yinshan camp and they rushed out to pull their hind legs, so there must be a part of them left in Yinshan, so it is only the Xianbei striker who came here!
"Junhou, this is the Xianbei Forward Sentinel!" Xun Chen said, "Let's go back first!" ”
Fei Qian immediately nodded and said, "In this way, drive this Xianbei forward back first!" Zilong, I'm bothering you to go! ”
It is too cowardly to seem too fake, and to drive it away appropriately, on the one hand, it means that there are a large number of Han troops here, and on the other hand, the unfinished arrangements on his side will not be exposed under the noses of the Xianbei vanguard scouts.
Zhao Yun took the order, straightened his helmet, turned around and walked down the small high ground, and then got on the horse and rushed forward with some men!
The morning fog had faded a little at this time, and standing on the small high ground, I could faintly see that in the distant fog, this group of Xianbei people and horses, showing a loose formation of charging arrows, was coming here. There is no doubt that these people are the more elite scout sentry troops in the Xianbei army!
These Xianbei sentries are the eyes and tentacles of the Xianbei brigade, and they also deal with the Han army scouts of Feiqian almost every day, most of them are wearing a full body of leather armor, which has a certain degree of protection, but does not look bulky, and they are all fierce and light. Although the manes of these people's crotches are not trimmed like those of the Han people, and they look long and messy, they all look strong enough to support the galloping trek.
On both sides of the saddle of these Xianbei sentinels, longbows and quivers are hung, coupled with the war knives at their waists, which shows that they are veterans who are good at both melee and long-range, and even the eyes that appear under the fur hats show wolf-like eyes!
In such an early morning, in such a hazy fog, the first Han and Xianbei to collide together were still scout troops who had fought many times and were too familiar to be familiar.
Ordinary troops may still be waiting for the superior military monster to give orders, but for these scout sentinels, the decision to fight has become an instinct, and this small-scale outpost battle begins with a rain of arrows fired at the moment of contact between the two sides......
