In Xinye, Li Xiang's plan to divide the troops and attack did not confuse Cui Tingxun, but it gave Cui Tingxun a false impression: the Chu army was quite afraid of cavalry troops. ??? This elite infantry can defeat ordinary infantry with less, but let this elite infantry fight against cavalry, that is a completely different concept. Cui Tingxun has used cavalry for a long time, and he knows how to maximize the advantage of cavalry and completely defeat the infantry.

It was precisely because he had been in battle for a long time that although the Chu army was elite, he didn't take it to heart, he didn't attack Liu Yantao's department, which was easy to attack, but attacked the main force of the Chu army.

Usually, with his order, in an instant, thousands of horses rushed together, raising gusts of yellow sand, covering half of the sky; The sound of the horses reverberated back and forth in the wilderness, and not only the sound shook in all directions, but the whole earth seemed to tremble. I had never seen a large number of infantry from the horse army, and when I saw this formation, I would definitely be frightened and tremble, and my will to fight began to waver.

Then, there is a salvo of ten thousand arrows, the Khitan people are skilled in bowing and horses, while keeping the horses running fast, bend the bow and shoot arrows, even if these bows and arrows are released, the accuracy is reduced a lot, but in the case of intensive casting, how can they aim carefully. As long as someone in the enemy army is hit by an arrow and someone screams, then the enemy's fighting spirit begins to crumble.

Next, it is to rush into the enemy line without fear of death, wield the whip, trample the opponent with the horse, rely on their own height advantage, condescendingly charge back and forth with a spear, and assassinate the enemy, which is the enemy completely losing the courage to fight with the cavalry. As long as you rush into the enemy army and kill a few times after coming, then no matter how elite the infantry is, it will not last long.

When he led the Khitan soldiers to attack the Chu army, he didn't know what the effect of the first step was, after all, he couldn't find a war reporter to interview and interview the feelings of the front-line officers and soldiers of the Chu army. However, he thinks from experience that the Chu army should be a little scared, and when the second step and the salvo begins, the Chu army in the middle has begun to retreat, he thinks that this is the beginning of the collapse of the fighting spirit of the Chu army, and then, he did not hesitate to command the army to rush into the formation of the Chu army, but as soon as he came in, he ran into a little thorn, no wonder some Chu troops did not retreat? Because the armor worn by this girl is too thick, right, those people are basically wearing armor all over their bodies except for the joints? It's okay to be alone, after three or five into a group, it's a little scary, this guy is not afraid of sprinting, and he is not afraid of horses. Cui Tingxun once knocked over one himself, let the horse step on the guy, and as a result, when he looked back, the guy patted his ass and actually got up again. This is the heavy infantry ...

With these people standing in front of the formation, just like a bridge pier, the Khitan soldiers began to fork along the bridge pier. After Cui Tingxun really rushed to the inside of the Chu army, he realized that his army had dispersed, and it became difficult to gather a team of 1oo people, and the momentum of this cavalry coming and going like the wind was completely gone. Although the Chu army in this is no longer an iron man, its superior strength is gone. Either the spear pokes the body of the cavalry, or the short knife chops the horse's leg, the opponent's strange formation, greatly wielding the strength and class advantage of the infantry, the combination of spearmen with long weapons and Pu Dao soldiers with short weapons is so powerful.

Cui Tingxun is still experienced, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately shouted: "Retreat." ”

It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. When Cui Tingxun led people to attack, it was like the sea water at high tide, whistling and slapping at the reef on the shore, the momentum was like a rainbow, stirring up thousands of waves, but when it was time to retreat, it seemed to be like the sea water at low tide, unable to continue to move forward, and could only turn into a trickle through the cracks in the reef. Cui Tingxun fought desperately, rushed left and right, called in response, and finally gathered five or six teams of more than 1,000 people and rushed out of the formation of the Chu army.

Before he could catch his breath and settle his mind, a dense rain of arrows shot from both sides. Cui Tingxun woke up suddenly, just now the Chu army retreated, it turned out that it was not that it could not resist, but that the Chinese army was deliberately recessed backwards, and the two wings protruded and formed the shape of a crescent. These two wings were archers, and when the Khitan army broke through, ten thousand arrows were in unison to make the final blow to the Khitans. Cui Tingxun understood, but it didn't mean that he had a way to deal with it. Moreover, at this time, the Khitan soldiers were in a hurry, bent on fleeing, and had no will to fight, and the situation of defeat had been formed, and his ability to control the army had become extremely weak. At the moment, he could only follow the troops and fled to Dengzhou in a hurry. When he arrived in Dengzhou, he saw the thorn in the preparation of the celebration banquet, Cui Tingxun said the general situation with a disgraced face. After a while, he woke up from a dream, and dragged Cui Tingxun and asked, "General Cui, this... How's that good? ”

Cui Tingxun said nervously: "The Wasion Army and our main force are both in Dengzhou. If we stick to Dengzhou, if the Chu army divides its troops and takes Nanyang, Xiangcheng, Neixiang and other places, it will be a matter of closing the door and fighting... Hit me up. "Cui Tingxun originally wanted to say that he would close the door and beat the dog, but after beating for a long time, he felt indecent, so he temporarily changed it to beating me.

The thorn was also nervous to death, so he didn't pay attention to his statement, but just asked: "That... Then let's surrender Nanyang. ”

Cui Tingxun had already thought so in his heart, but the Khitan military law was strict, and he lost his ground, so he hesitated and said, "This... What if His Majesty pursues this? I'm afraid we can't afford to eat it! ”

Tuthorn shook his head and said: "This is okay, Your Majesty will not stay in the Central Plains for a long time, when I was in Bianjing a while ago, Your Majesty often missed the situation in the North, I heard that there are people in Xiangzhou who rebel now, and officials from Chengzhou (Chengxian County, Shaanxi), Fengzhou (Hui County, Shaanxi), Qinzhou (Baoji, Shaanxi), Jiezhou and other places have taken refuge in Shu, Your Majesty should not be interested in governing the Central Plains. So... Let's surrender to Nanyang first, and if Your Majesty really returns north, we have to follow suit. Besides, we have a lot of money from Wasion, and I will give it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will forgive us. “

As soon as the two of them combined, they immediately surrendered to Nanyang with the money they had looted. After arriving in Nanyang, the two learned that Gao Xinggui had actually died in Xinye, so they hurriedly reported the battle in Dengzhou to Yelu Deguang.

The Xinye War captured more than 20,000 Jin soldiers, and Ni Kefu and Liu Yantao lost 2ooo men and horses together, which can be described as a great victory. However, in the contest between Ma Yun's main force and the Khitan army, although he killed and captured more than 4,000 Khitan people, he actually lost nearly 6ooo people, which could not help but make Ma Yun feel very heartbroken. This formation was completed under the direct care and guidance of Ma Yun, and it took more than half a year to complete the specific planning and training by the General Staff Division, 30,000 people against 10,000 people on the other side, but I didn't expect the losses to be so heavy.

The only thing to be happy about is that the Khitan army did not have many troops, and they were actually scared away to Nanyang by the Chu army. The next day, Ma Yun led the army to the city of Dengzhou, and he sent troops to the inner countryside of the northwest gateway on the one hand, and gathered all the generals to discuss the next step. So far, this military operation has been too smooth, the past plan is only to take Xiangzhou, Suizhou, Fuzhou, Anzhou, and now it has actually taken most of Fangzhou, Junzhou, Xiangzhou, and Dengzhou, and the Khitan fled north, with Zhu Yuan and Ding Sijin's 20,000 troops, Suizhou, Fuzhou, and Anzhou surrendered or conquered sooner or later.

The question now in front of Jack Ma is, is it better to continue to go north? Or just stop in Dengzhou.

Liu Yantao is the oldest, and his actions in the past half a month have also made him the most excited. He stood up and said, "My lord, in your words, the situation of the Northern Expedition is very good. At this time, we can't stop marching, we should march and march again, go straight to Bianjing, and drive out the Khitan. ”

"Yes... Yes, continue to march. The generals in the tent said one after another.

I don't know what Liu Zhiyuan's situation is, if he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to unify the north, it will not be enough. Ma Yun set his eyes on Li Xiang, and Li Xiang smiled: "King, as the saying goes: take advantage of his illness to kill him." Now that you have Dengzhou, how can you no longer take Nanyang? However, the king, if our army moves to Nanyang, there are 5,000 troops led by Shi Da to guard Junzhou in the west, and there is no Khitan army in Guanzhong, and the western front of Dengzhou is safe, but there is Tangzhou on the eastern front, and Ma Quanjie, who was just convicted and degraded not long ago, is quite a famous general. The Khitans lost Dengzhou, will Yelu Deguang send someone to recapture it? After all, Dengzhou is an important town in Shannan, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. If reinforcements arrive, our army will fight under Nanyang City, and Ma Quanjie in Tangzhou will suddenly copy the back road of our army, which... This has to be guarded against. ”

Ma Yun looked at the map, and the current situation was obvious: his own troops were only 40,000, and even if the 20,000 surrendered Jin soldiers were added, it was only 60,000. If the Khitan really has reinforcements coming over and pinning down their army in Nanyang, will Ma Quanjie send troops to attack Dengzhou and cut off his own back route?

"Lord Li, are you filtered, the terrain near Dengzhou is flat, and there are roads everywhere, even if he takes Dengzhou with his horses, it is not easy for us to return to Xiangzhou. Besides, this Dengzhou City, after all, is the seat of the Weisheng Jiedu Embassy, and the city is also tall, leaving a 5ooo person to garrison, and he wants to take it down, I'm afraid it's not so easy. What's more, Zhu Yuan's march in Suizhou was smooth, as long as Suizhou was captured, wouldn't the flanks of Tangzhou also be under the threat of our army? I don't think he dares to move casually. Liu Yantao said.

"There is a horse Pingchuan near Dengzhou, but Dengzhou and Xiangzhou are separated by a Tongbai Mountain, what if Ma Quanjie leads troops to Dengzhou, but goes south to take Huyang?"

Ma Yun looked at the map carefully, the junction of Dengzhou and Xiangzhou, the west is the hilly area of Junzhou, which is not conducive to the transfer of the large army, the right is the towering Tongbai Mountains, in the middle, there is just a gap, the Baihe River is just on this gap, relying on the left side of the Tongbai Mountains to join the Han River, Ma Yun marched into Dengzhou, that is, along the Baihe, through Xinye, in the west into Dengzhou. On this road, it is quite flat, but there is only one place where the terrain is more steep - Huyang Town, it is close to the Baihe River on the left, and surrounds this Tongbai Mountain on the right, if Huyang Town is lost, then the Chu army wants to retreat to Xiangzhou, then there is only one way, that is, to transfer from Junzhou. These 60,000 troops are transferred by mountain roads, and if there are pursuers behind them, it will be called every day.

Ni Kefu stroked his beard and said, "Li Shumi, you are thinking too much. We have 1ooo people left in Huyang, with them, plus the terrain of Huyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ma Quanjie may not dare to fight Huyang... ”

The current situation is quite good, and if you don't give it a try, you will be a little unwilling after all. Ma Yun pondered for a long time and ordered: "Shentu Congjian, now it's up to you to rectify the 20,000 surrendered troops, and those who don't want to stay will be dismissed at the expense of the road." Those who are willing to stay are scattered and supplemented by various units of the army. The rectification was completed within three days, and three days later, the king led his army north into Nanyang. An order was sent to Chen Zhi in Xiangzhou, asking him to pay attention to Huyang's preparedness. ”

"King, since you want to attack Nanyang, it is better to send people to bypass Nanyang first, and first take the shortcut for Nanyang to go north to the Central Plains - Xiangcheng. As soon as Xiangcheng is lost, the Khitans will inevitably take Tangzhou if they want to retreat, so that the Khitans' positions will be chaotic. ”

There are three roads from Nanyang to Bianjing, one is to take Xichuan, detour through Guanzhong, and then turn to Bianjing, this road is the farthest, and Xichuan is also the most difficult to walk, under the current situation, the Khitan people will not go from this road. The second road is to take Tangzhou, the problem is the same, to detour; This third road is to go directly north to take the road to the city, cross Luyang Pass, enter Xuzhou, and go to Bianjing, this road is the closest. Once the Luyang Pass is passed, the road is flat, which is the most convenient for the cavalry.

"Mr. Li, you have a point. However, the terrain of this city is steep, and it looks like a husband is a man who can't open it. Since the Khitans dared to stay in Nanyang, their defense of Xiangcheng should be tight. I'm afraid this Xiangcheng is even more difficult to fight than Nanyang? ”

Li Xiang shook his fan and said: "It is not advisable to storm the city, in the opinion of the ministers, our army surrounds Nanyang, beating drums day and night, thinking that the momentum of the battle, the enemy of the city, must be terrified." At this time, like a drowning person, if someone lends a hand, they will surely invite them in immediately. “

Ma Yun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Mr. mean... “

Li Xiang smiled and said, "You can send an army from the north of Tangzhou to the back of Xiangcheng, falsely claiming that it is reinforcements from Bianjing." “

Ma Yun hesitated: "The movement of the army has always been evidenced by a fuse. We will have this Khitan fuse there. “

"King, do you think it is the Jin army or the Khitan soldiers and horses guarding the city?" Li Xiang blinked slyly and asked.

"Of course it's the Khitans... Oh, sir means ... Ma Yun understood, laughed and said, "Sir, what a clever plan." Attack Xiangcheng, let Cao Bin go. ”
