Chapter 175: Suide Snatching Battle (I) Second Update
The few words of the report were silent, and everyone at the scene was silent, including the chief military officer Li Guoqi.
It's so unexpected, it's incredible, it's not that Lin Yi suffered a defeat, but that the sky and the sweeping tiger were eradicated, how is this possible, really fake?
However, how dare the generals who reported this kind of thing talk nonsense, it must be true, the chief military officer Li Guoqi hurriedly asked for details, and the reporter told the reporter about the situation.
Li Guoqi was overjoyed, it seems that they are all wrong, this battle was fought beautifully, shooting the sky and sweeping the tiger, these two thieves were exterminated, Mr. Lin and they arrived soon, this is great.
Li Guoqi and his generals were in a better mood all of a sudden, and they stopped scolding their mothers, and they had a smile on their faces.
At this time, Zhang Hua brought someone to deliver the letter.
After reading Lin Yi's handwritten letter, Li Guoqi was overjoyed. Now that this is done, Xi'an Mansion and Yan'an Mansion are worry-free, and the extermination of the thieves is just around the corner, and then there will be a way to ask the Governor and the Governor and the Emperor for their guilt.
The merits and demerits are offset by each other, and maybe they will be happy. He is exonerated of his own guilt. Therefore, Mr. Li couldn't stop admiring, no wonder Lin Yi and the others were able to defeat the Tartars repeatedly, and they were really brave and invincible, and they lived up to their reputation. Reinforcements like this, one is enough.
Li Guoqi was so happy that he rewarded Zhang Hua with 20 taels of silver, and ordered his subordinates to arrange a sumptuous banquet for a few of them.
After eating and drinking, Li Guoqi also wrote a reply, in which he praised Lin Yi for his courage and invincibility, strategizing to win a thousand miles, worshipping him as a god, and fully agreed with Lin Yi's plan to suppress thieves in the next step, and had sent someone to inform Huang Ming, the deputy general of Yan'an, that according to Lin Yi's plan, he would immediately lead the team to Yichuan.
handed the letter to Zhang Hua to bring, Zhang Hua said goodbye, at this time several of their horses had also been brushed, fed grass and fodder, drank a bucket of water, and after a few hours of rest, recovered their strength. Considering the long distance, Li Guoqi prepared a reserve horse for each of them, that is, each of them had two horses to take turns to carry them to run......
A few people rode fast horses and galloped, of course, much faster than thousands of large troops, because they did not have infantry and heavy grain and grass vehicles, several people and horses were completely lightly armed, and each person had two horses, taking turns to carry them to run, every half an hour to change horses, thirsty can drink water on the horse, and even the horse does not need to get off, when the war horse really can't run, they will dismount and let the war horse rest and rest, whether day or night, this is called day and night.
Therefore, from Xi'an to Suide, a distance of nearly 1,000 miles, Zhang Hua and the others only took two days to catch up with Lin Yi.
At this time, Lin Yi was resting in the mountains and forests, and the tired division had to rest before it could recover its combat strength, and Lin Yi was also waiting for Zhang Hua's reply, which was very important, because this time to break the enemy, it was not a unilateral action, and the three teams of men and horses acted together to completely exterminate these thieves.
When Lin Yi's men were resting, they sent people to inquire about the news of the Suide thieves. At this time, Zhang Hua arrived, and when he saw Li Guoqi's reply, Lin Yi's heart was completely relieved, and the next battle, completely according to Lin Yi's strategy, they took Suide, and Li Guoqi's men took Yichuan, which was the key to this battle.
Lin Yi calculated this time, it took Zhang Hua two days to rush from Xi'an to Suide, so Li Guoqi's men and horses should have arrived in Yichuan at this time when they left Xi'an.
Therefore, Lin Yi decided to attack Suide when the time was ripe, and pulled a team of 8,000 people out of the mountains and forests to Suide County.
As soon as he walked out of more than ten miles, Wang Jian, the commander of the forward troops, came on a flying horse, saw Lin Yi and said: "Lord General Soldier, something is wrong, Guo Tianxing pulled 20,000 horses and suddenly gave up attacking Yan'an, withdrew halfway, and is now on the way to Suide, please decide."
When Lin Yi heard it, this was really a bit troublesome. Lin Yi originally got the news that Hui Dengxiang left Suide with 20,000 thieves and attacked Yan'an from the north. On the Yichuan side, the mud and lights were not lit and more than 10,000 horses were brought to attack Yan'an from the south. In this case, Suide and Yichuan will inevitably be empty, and Lin Yi and Li Guoqi's men and horses will be able to copy their back roads, but now the military situation has suddenly changed.
The reason for the change, Lin Yi immediately guessed, it must be that the remnants of the Shooting Collapse and the Sweeping Tiger ran back, and these thieves got the news that the Shooting Collapse and the Sweeping Tiger were annihilated, so they would react like this.
The thieves on the Yichuan side must have also retreated and given up attacking Yan'an, which undoubtedly added variables to this battle.
Damn, this Huideng Xiang is really cunning enough, he changed his strategic deployment so quickly, and the fall of the Shooting Collapse and the Sweeping Tiger must have alarmed them, he should have thought that the officers and troops might copy their back road, from this aspect, this guy really has two brushes to lead troops to fight, and he can be regarded as an opponent.
But what to do in front of you? If the army continues to advance, Suide will inevitably be a tough battle, 8,000 men and horses against 20,000 thieves, Suide will definitely not lose this battle. But Li Guoqi's battle of Yichuan is difficult to say, and the soldiers in Yan'an City will not immediately come out to participate in the battle.
Because they had already passed the gas in advance, the Yan'an soldiers held the city, and when Lin Yi and Li Guoqi took Suide and Yichuan, they would open the city and kill it, and they should cooperate with the outside to encircle and suppress the thieves.
So it's hard to say who will die in the end of this battle, and now things have changed, and if you don't play the cards according to Lin Yi's strategy, it's too late for the three masters to communicate and exchange information, which is called the plan can't catch up with the change.
At this time, the official army also withdrew its troops, and it was undoubtedly the safest way to look for fighters again, but if Lin Yi withdrew his troops halfway and temporarily stopped attacking Suide, it would mean that this plan to suppress the thieves would fail, and it was likely that General Li would be trapped.
No, the arrow is on the bow, and it is imperative!
After a simple thought, Lin Yi made a decisive decision, this battle can't be fought anymore, it must be fought!
But Suide is undoubtedly the key to this battle. Because whoever occupies this place will be in his favor.
Lin Yi immediately adjusted the strategic deployment, let Zu Keyong lead the standard battalion to rush to the front and seize Suide, and Lin Yi took the remaining men and horses as backup.
After Zu Keyong took over, he rushed to Suide County with 2,000 iron horses......
Lin Yi's analysis is not false at all, Guo Tianxing originally planned to take Yan'an Mansion in one fell swoop, but it was also a critical moment, and things went wrong for the thieves.
They originally planned to storm Yan'an Mansion from the north and south on the third watch that night, and the soldiers and horses of Xi'an Mansion would definitely not dare to move. And they have already found out that there are only 6,000 defenders in Yan'an Mansion, and in this case, it is not a problem to take Yan'an Mansion overnight.
But before the battle started, news suddenly came that the Shooting Collapse and the Sweeping Tiger pulled the team to the Luliang area to deal with Lin Yi's men and horses.
"Damn, these two Leng Touqing, they are well said, how can they act without permission!" Guo Tianxing scolded and scolded, but in the end, he had no choice but to postpone the action plan.
Because of the sudden withdrawal of more than 10,000 horses from the Tianxing and the sweeping tigers, there are no thieves in Xi'an Mansion, and the feint sign is demolished, and it will not achieve the role of containing Li Guoqi. Because in this way, they left the flank to the generals in Xi'an.
In case they can't be attacked, as soon as Xi'an Prefecture sends troops, they will fall into a situation where they will be attacked on their backs.
He saw this very clearly, and for the sake of safety, he had to postpone the capture of Yan'an Mansion backwards.
When will it be postponed, that is, when the shooting and sweeping tigers have defeated the officers and soldiers who rushed to the rescue, and their more than 10,000 people and horses will return to their original positions.
The non-sticky mud and lights on Yichuan's side are not lit, and after hearing the temporary changes of the stars, they are also scolding, of course, they are scolding for shooting the sky and sweeping the tiger, not obeying orders, acting without authorization, for their own interests, fighting for their own interests, they are all fucking bastards!
But scolding and scolding, they still have to listen to the unified deployment of the stars. The centaurs are already in place, only to wait here.
However, they are still full of hope for this battle. In their opinion, it should be easy to deal with 7,000 rescue soldiers from afar with the strength of shooting the sky and sweeping tigers, and after the battle on Luliang's side is over, they will withdraw to the designated position and watch the soldiers and horses of Xi'an Mansion. At that time, they stormed Yan'an Mansion again, and they still had the chance to win, but it was only a few days later than the original plan, and there was no big mistake.
But they didn't expect that a few days later, bad news suddenly came, the battle of Longmen Mountain, shooting the sky and sweeping the tiger, both killed, more than 10,000 people under their hands, almost all of them were annihilated, and only a few hundred people ran back intermittently.
They were shocked when they passed through the sky and the mud, it seemed that Miyun's group of men and horses was not good, with a mere 7,000 people, they could annihilate more than 10,000 people and horses who shot the sky and sweeping the tiger in one battle, and they had never encountered such a fierce official army.
After thinking about it, he immediately made a decision to temporarily stop attacking Yan'an Mansion, and first hold Suide and Yichuan, so as not to be cut off by the official army.
After the three thieves of Guo Tianxing discussed, they immediately withdrew their troops, and Guo Tianxing returned his Suide, and brought people back to their Yichuan without sticking mud and lights on.
The reason why these thieves put their heavy troops in these two counties is also to be able to form a horn defense and deal with the sudden arrival of the officers and troops.
When Guo Tianxing was still more than ten miles away from Suide with 20,000 horses, he suddenly received a report that a large number of officers and soldiers were coming to Suide.
Guo Tianxing was startled, and immediately ordered: "Suide must not be lost, speed up!"
