Chapter 711: Fierce Battle

readx;

The situation on the battlefield is already very obvious, Xi Wang Lao Guning is by no means a brainless fool, the grassland warriors bypassed Li Zhongyi's main force and adopted a strategy of besieging from all sides, which is obviously relying on the large number of people and wanting to bully the Li family army with few people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info.Tian Lai Novel.2

Generally speaking, any army in the Cold Weapon Era, as long as it is surrounded by enemy troops, is not far from a complete collapse!

In the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, Bai Qi lured the main force of the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo out of the camp, and then used the advantage of the peripheral light cavalry to completely cut off the grain route of the Zhao army.

Fighting a war has always been the first in logistics, and the officers and soldiers are hungry, even if they want to fight hard, but they don't even have the strength to hold a knife, how can they fight?

Lao Guning's method of besieging on all sides can be regarded as an old routine of the grassland cavalry to deal with the Han army in the Central Plains.

It's a pity that in order to prepare for the decisive battle with the Khitans, Li Jiajun has been practicing for a long time from the beginning to now.

Li Zhongyi expected that once the attack of the steppe cavalry was frustrated, most of them would bypass his main force and attack Po Yong, who was stationed on the hillside.

Because the grassland cavalry carefully bypassed the farthest strike distance of the divine arm crossbow, the Li family army did not bother to deal with them, so that the grassland alliance army was relieved and boldly surrounded the Li family army in the middle.

But the problem is that after the Li family's army was surrounded, the warriors of the various tribes of the grassland did not attack immediately, as if they were waiting for something.

Li Zhongyi had already boarded the command car at this time, and he saw an interesting phenomenon through the telescope, the leaders of all clans were appeasing their own clan's soldiers in front of the battle.

Although Li Zhongyi couldn't hear what the patriarchs and elders of the grassland tribe said, he could guess that it must be to make everyone feel at ease.

Of course, Li Zhongyi can imagine the reason: the warriors of the taunting people have not yet pounced and bitten!

The strength of the Qin State was actually far inferior to the coalition forces of the Six Kingdoms, but in the end, it was Qin Shi Huang who destroyed the Six Kingdoms, not the Six Kingdoms that annexed the Qin State.

The most fundamental factor in this, in Li Zhongyi's view, is obviously the six countries with their own selfish intentions, and it is difficult to twist into a rope and work hard in one place, giving the Qin State a chance to break through.

Qin's unification of the six countries was not only a victory in the military struggle, but also an unprecedented victory in a commendable diplomatic war.

Today, although Li Zhongyi is facing a coalition of grassland tribes that occupy an absolute superiority in strength, the interests of tribes cannot be completely identical, and even because of the competition for pasture, cattle and sheep or population, there are often large and small frictions between them.

This means that the hearts of the people are not aligned, and everyone has a ghost in their hearts, for fear of being used as a gun by other tribes, resulting in serious damage to their strength.

As soon as Li Jiajun appeared, he gave the tribes of the grassland a big dismount, and more than 1,000 Xi warriors were killed before they could reach the side of Li Jiajun.

The grassland wolves besiege the tigers, although the wolves are powerful, but everyone understands a popular truth: the wolves who go up to bite first are often ridiculed as "fools".

All the tribes in the grassland are waiting for the Xi people to make the first move, but Li Zhongyi is waiting for the enemy to target the spearhead at Po Yong's side, because on the slope of the mountain, Li Zhongyi also prepared a big meal for the princes of the grassland.

Lao Guning didn't pay attention at first, thinking that all tribes would rush up and bite Li Jiajun according to the agreement.

Who would have thought that these patriarchs on the grassland, one by one, surrounded the Li family's army, but they refused to make the first move, and they all looked to Lao Guning to take the lead for them.

Lao Guning rushed to the front, and after seeing the confrontation between the two armies clearly, the anger in his heart did not come to one place.

Although Lao Guning didn't know the origin of the exhaustion of the three drums, he knew in his heart that the two armies had not yet started a full-scale war, and the momentum of the coalition forces had weakened by more than three percent.

However, Lao Guning really didn't have the stupid idea of picking the fire for the various tribes, he looked at the entire battlefield, and suddenly had an amazing idea.

The main force of the Li family's army in front of him is obviously a tough nut to bite, and the cavalry stationed on the hillside is obviously easier to deal with.

Instead of fighting to the death with the Southern Barbarians, it is better to take the logistics of the Southern Barbarians first, and even if it is dragged at that time, it will drag the Southern Barbarians to death.

I have to say that Lao Guning is indeed a discerning general, and he sees problems very insightfully.

After Lao Guning thought about it, he immediately pointed to the hillside where Po Yong was located, and said to the patriarchs: "Everyone, if you don't do this, let's surround but not fight the main force of the Southern Barbarians here, and then concentrate on attacking the heavy camp of the Southern Barbarians, what do you think?" ”

Encircling the point to send reinforcements, attacking halfway, and cutting off the grain route, these are the best jobs of the grassland warriors.

In other words, if you can starve Li Jiajun to death without fighting, this is definitely a big deal!

"King, we are all at your disposal......"

"Your Majesty, you can give a military order......

"King, how to divide the spoils, you have to give an explanation in advance......"

As soon as Lao Guning heard the voice of the violent bear, his heart suddenly became nameless, this bastard is really a mercenary villain!

The flames that the patriarchs had originally fanned by Lao Guning were poured cold by a basin of cold water from the violent bear.

Good guys, the loot has not yet been negotiated, so he rushed up to play with his life, and he must not do a loss-making deal.

"Yes, yes, the king, there are so many sons and daughters here, how should the seized materials be divided?"

"Our Xianbei clan has not sent many troops this time, just ask the king to give him some weapons casually." The patriarch of the Eastern Xianbei Yuwen Tribe, based on the reality that his clan was the weakest, did not dare to make excessive demands.

"Great King, my clan suffered a snowstorm last year, not only did the livestock die, but even the slaves were reduced by more than half, so you have to make up 10,000 or 8,000 for me anyway."

"......, "Patriarchs, you say a word to me, this battle hasn't been fought yet, but a spoils sharing conference was held in advance."

It's just that the patriarchs never dreamed that because of the existence of the monoculars, the scene of them arguing with each other was all in Li Zhongyi's view.

Although Li Zhongyi couldn't hear the content of the dispute between Lao Guning and the patriarchs, he could expect that it was mostly related to preserving strength and fighting for loot.

With Li Zhongyi's many years of experience in dealing with the Khitans, he naturally understands how determined the patriarchs of various tribes are to preserve their strength on the prairie.

Lao Guning sighed secretly, judging from today's situation, if the Xi soldiers under his command did not take the lead, these old fox-like patriarchs would definitely not follow.

"Everyone, we can't let the Southern Barbarians see the joke anyway, did everyone send out the little cubs who attacked the harassment?" After all, Lao Guning is an old treacherous and slippery person, he first made a sloppy eye, let the top soldiers of each tribe move first, and then find other strategies.

As long as it doesn't cost blood, resulting in a great loss of power, the patriarchs of the tribes actually don't dare to offend Lao Guning to death.

After the consensus was reached, the grassland coalition forces acted together, including Lao Guning, and everyone sent the first wave of men and horses responsible for the attack.

Four directions, each with about 500 marksmen, were sent out to harass the Li family's army.

Li Zhongyi, who was in the command car, saw a small group of grassland cavalry rushing towards him from all directions early, and he couldn't help but smile, what year is this old emperor's calendar, and he is still playing this old trick?

"Pass the order, according to the armor plan, set up the shield array!" Li Zhongyi then ordered, "Pass it on, and all armies will draw crossbowmen and shoot freely." ”

The enemy's large army did not move, Li Zhongyi naturally would not waste precious crossbow arrows, and it was very suitable for the marksman to fight against the crossbowman!

"Whoosh......" a small group of grassland cavalry galloped in front of the Li family's army, for a warrior had just rushed through the strike range of the god's arm crossbow, a crossbow bolt mixed with the sharp wind and thunder, with lightning speed and speed between the eyes and ears, hindered into the chest and abdomen of the war horse.

"Sigh yo-yo ......" The war horse let out a miserable scream, and immediately lost its front hooves and fell down, and the knight on horseback was caught off guard, and was immediately thrown off the saddle and flew into the air.

"Whoosh......" Before the steppe knight could understand the taste, a sharp crossbow bolt stabbed into his chest.

"Uh......" The knight didn't have time to scream, and he slammed into the ground, and he couldn't see it alive.

"Hehe, an inch long and an inch strong, is it the opponent of my god arm crossbow to ride a bow?" Li Zhongyi put down the monoculars in his hand and smiled with emotion.

Zhu Niang rarely saw her husband, showing such a childlike side, so she joked and said: "Master, the slave family has some itchy skills, why don't you let the slave show you both hands?" ”

Thinking back then, Li Zhongyi conquered the battle of the main force of the party, and under the city of Fuzhou, he once saw Zhu Niang with his own eyes, holding a bow in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, killing more than ten people in one go.

Hehe, such a tigress with an extraordinary background, who does not do it in the main room of a wealthy family, is willing to be a concubine for Li Zhongyi, which shows that it is indeed very reasonable for beautiful women to love heroes.

From Li Zhongyi's eyes, Zhu Niang tasted an unusually familiar evil intent, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and sighed, the husband is not serious again!

Li Zhongyi saw Zhu Niang shyly goodbye to the past, and couldn't help but secretly feel a little proud in his heart, such a strong tigress, he rode under the crotch to pity and love, tactfully accepted joy, it is indeed a beautiful thing full of a sense of conquest.

Zhu Niang and Li Zhongyi have been husband and wife for many years, although Li Zhongyi did not explicitly refuse her to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, but told her in an alternative way that this matter must not be done!

In essence, Li Zhongyi is a very protective man, if his woman is injured and leads to a tragedy such as disfigurement, even if he kills all the grassland barbarians, it will be difficult to understand the regret in his heart.

The steppe peoples fought the world with bows and horses, in fact, the bow here mainly refers to riding a bow. Although the bow with a long arm has a long range and great power, it is difficult for the knights to use their strength if they are equipped with a powerful bow on a galloping horse.

What's more, even if the strong man of the knights of the steppe can draw a bow of more than eight stones, it is difficult to ensure a continuous high-intensity shot on a warhorse.

Based on the needs of the above-mentioned actual combat, most of the knights of the steppe alliance army used riding bows of more than three stones, and the marksmen among them generally used five-stone bows.

According to the experience of the various ethnic groups in the grassland, in the past, the Han army in the Central Plains was generally equipped with a foot bow of about one and a half stones, while the steppe knights used a three-stone bow.

Nowadays, Li Jiajun is generally equipped with a divine arm crossbow, and if this kind of large-scale killing weapon is measured by the bow unit of "stone", it is at least equivalent to the range of a ten-stone bow, and the power is more than doubled.

The Li family army used a ten-stone hard crossbow against a five-stone riding bow, and these knights on the grassland had actually lost at the starting line.

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

"Sigh the law ......"

The steppe knights who fought the world with bows and horses did far outperform the soldiers of the Li family army who were better at foot combat, but the marksmen of the Li family army, relying on the cover of the shield array, could rest assured that they could aim and shoot boldly.

In just one shot, dozens of steppe knights were shot off their horses, rolling on the ground, screaming miserably, crying, and dying and dying.

When the steppe knights made a circle and came back again, they changed their tactics and used their skillful horsemanship to hide outside the stirrup, charging and preparing to shoot.

It's a pity that in front of the well-trained Li Jiajun marksman, the little trick is simply not worth mentioning!

If you can't shoot people, can't you kill a horse? The goal of a horse is several times larger than that of a knight hiding under a saddle!

As soon as the second photo of the "...... of the law began, more than a hundred horses were shot.

"Ah...... Help...... "A steppe knight who didn't have time to take off his stirrups was crushed by half of his body by the fallen war horse, and dragged out a long distance, grinding his flesh and blood into a blur, and his miserable cry was unusually frightening.

The sharpshooters on the grassland are all cattle men who have been killed from the blood and water, although the shield array of the Li family army is very tightly covered, but there is still a stray arrow that pierces through the gap between the shields and fiercely shoots into the chest of a Li family army soldier.

"Ah...... "Man is not a machine after all, and the pain is so great and unbearable that the wounded warrior can't help but cry out in pain.

The chief of the subordinate hurriedly ran to the wounded in accordance with the requirements of the order, and the chief squatted down, covering the mouth of the wounded while shouting: "Doctor, doctor, come here!" ”

The doctor who was on standby nearby hurriedly rushed over, he took off the first-aid kit on his waist, took out the plaster pill for treating external injuries from it, and applied it to a large area around the wounded man's middle arrow area to prevent the wounded from losing too much blood.

Soon, the wounded were covered by the medic, carried on a stretcher, and sent to the rear for first aid.

The commander covered the mouth of the wounded man as soon as possible to prevent him from screaming, which seemed a bit cruel, but in fact it was an inevitable choice to avoid affecting the morale and morale of the army.

The general will inevitably die in battle, the clay pot will not be broken from the well, and since he is on the battlefield, the swords, guns and arrows have no eyes, and casualties are inevitable.

At the height of the battle, if the wounded were allowed to scream in frightening pain, it would cause an unquantifiable disturbance to the soldiers who were fighting.

In addition, no matter how miserable the wounded may be, it is just human instinct and does not help to solve the disease. Only through the strength of the organizational system to carry the wounded down as soon as possible and receive professional-level treatment is the most correct solution.

Li Zhongyi attaches great importance to wounded veterans, and he has said countless times on different occasions that wounded veterans are a huge wealth of Li Jiajun, not a burden!

Li Jiajun is more fortunate that their commander is the most knowledgeable master of traditional Chinese medicine in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that as early as when Li Zhongyi was the vice president, he had already mastered the prescription of Chinese patent medicine that could partially replace the effect of antibiotics, supplemented by high-concentration alcohol extracted after dozens of distillations, which has an obvious healing effect on trauma.

So far, the mortality rate of the seriously wounded of Li Jiajun's wounded due to wound infection is far lower than that of any army of his time.

Guerrilla-style sniper warfare was constantly staged in various places in front of the two armies. The Li Jiajun marksman, who has the protection of a large shield and is equipped with a divine arm crossbow, obviously occupies the absolute initiative on the field.

The hundreds of war horses that fell in front of the two armies, as well as more than two hundred corpses, prove this indisputably!

Li Zhongyi raised the monoculars, and after carefully observing the overall situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, hehe, the chiefs on the grassland, selfishness is still too heavy!" ”

He Dabei nodded and said with a smile: "Lingshuai, after this battle, the warriors of the various tribes of the grassland, when they fight with us again, there will be a shadow on their psychology." ”

Yang Wushuang interjected expressionlessly: "From the small to the big, a disunited prairie is in line with our most fundamental interests. ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Yang Wushuang interestingly, this kid and his cousin Yang Lie were almost cast in the same mold, always showing a cold face, which made it easy to misunderstand, as if they owed the two brothers five million yuan.

Lao Guning looked at the remnants of the marksmen after the defeat of the horse, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, facing the hedgehog-like southern barbarian Li Zhongyi, if this is a full-scale attack, God knows how many lives will be filled?

Until this moment, Lao Guning really regretted it, he still fell for the bastard of Yelu Hugo after all.

But the problem, both armies are fighting head-on, if he orders the withdrawal of the army at this time, not to mention that his niece is the queen, even if his own daughter is the current queen, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor of the Khitan people will not be angry, and the aftermath is unpredictable.

After looking at the whole scene for a week, Lao Guning's eyes suddenly lit up, after the main force of the Southern Barbarians attacked, there were not many people left on the small hillside?

Since it is necessary to pay an extremely heavy price for attacking the main force of the Southern Barbarians, it is better to besiege but not attack, and first mobilize heavy troops to solve the partial division and rear army left by the Southern Barbarians.

The more Lao Guning thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was very good, and he immediately called the patriarchs to his side, so that the patriarchs also thought that this method was good, which not only avoided major casualties, but also cut off the supply of the southern barbarians.

No matter how strong the army of the Southern Barbarians is, they can't eat for three days, and they are hungry and faint, where can they still have the physical strength to fight?

As a result, the patriarchs and Lao Guning hit it off, and quickly reached a consensus that they would attack bravely.

Although there was a consensus, the great enthusiasm of the patriarchs to ask for battle made Lao Guning very annoyed.

Nima, when I was about to gnaw hard bones just now, these old foxes were afraid of becoming cannon fodder for ridicule, but now they are afraid of falling behind, resulting in no good things being grabbed empty-handed.

What the hell, Lao Guning cursed these old foxes secretly, and at the same time reluctantly put on a smiling face, and said politely: "Patriarchs, in my opinion, everyone should stop fighting." I have a proposal that I don't know if I should say? ”

The patriarchs stared at Lao Guning suspiciously, and everyone had an unspeakable thought: they were worried that Lao Guning wanted to eat alone!

Lao Gu Ning had indeed been accustomed to eating alone before, and his reputation had long been stinky, but this time, with a different kind of thought, he also pretended to be generous, and generously proposed: "It's better to do this, let's send 5,000 people each to besiege the party dog mongrels left behind by the Southern Barbarians on all sides." Whoever rushes in first, who takes the lion's head, and the last one to rush in, no matter how big the loss, is only one percent at most. ”

Seeing that the patriarchs were all bowing their heads, nervously calculating the pros and cons, Lao Guning hated itchy, but there was no good way.

The current situation is obvious, and it is impossible for anyone to ignore the main force of the Southern Barbarians in front of them and swallow the mountains of good things alone.

Since Lao Guning couldn't eat alone, he had to bargain with the patriarchs, striving to be the first to break through the camp of the Southern Barbarians and get the biggest dividend.

Storm Bear's strength is not strong, and he doesn't expect to get much benefit, but he is very worried, and Lao Guning is bullying people and sending his Murwei clan to take the lead.

The patriarchs of the steppe all understood an extremely simple logic, but if it was necessary to fill the deal with human lives, then they must enjoy the dividends after the war according to the principle of who contributes more and who shares more.

If Li Zhongyi was present, he would have pointed out sharply: Isn't this the most primitive shareholding system?

After a short quarrel, Lao Guning and the patriarchs quickly reached a consensus, similar to the Xi people, Bohai people and other four major clans each attacked one side, with Xianbei, Murowei and other small clans as the vanguard, to launch a ferocious attack.

Storm Bear never dreamed that the contradictions between the big clans, which originally had gaps to drill, reached a consensus under Lao Guning's rubbing, which was fatal!

The battle plan of the four major clans was obviously based on sacrificing the interests of the small clans and enriching their own clans.

But the problem, after the patriarch of the big clan reached a consensus, if the leaders of several small clans dared to jump out to oppose it, it would definitely not end well.

Lao Guning was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he didn't give Storm Bear and Yuwen a chance to argue at all, so he waved his hand and said, "Then it's decided, everyone is ready to go." ”

Come on, the violent bear endured the monstrous anger, turned around and left, he knew very well in his heart that now he took the initiative to stand up, not only could he not fight for a good result, but he was likely to be waved by Lao Guning and swallowed his clansmen in one bite.
