The Qiangqu Department marched for more than half an hour, and the scouting horse behind him came the news that the Huai'an defenders were pouring out. Moreover, the speed of the officers and soldiers was not fast, and they always maintained a distance of more than 30 miles from the Qiangqu Department, and followed unhurriedly.

Qiangqu's intentions to Tai Shi Ci were clear, and Tai Shi Ci must have wanted to take advantage of the battle between himself and the soldiers of Guangning County, and suddenly launched an attack from behind, and attacked the defenders of Guangning in front and back, so that his own troops were exposed to the enemy.

As long as the general with a little brain can guess the intention of Tai Shi Ci's department, the deputy general expressed his worries: "Chief, Tai Shi Ci wants to fight with the defenders of Guangning County to flank our army back and forth, and then our army will be able to win by the enemy?" ”

The meaning of this deputy general Qiang Qu understands that the deputy general wants to defeat Tai Shi Ci's department first, and then when to take Huai'an and when to take Guangning, it is not Qiang Qu who has the final say.

I have to say that the strategy that this deputy general said is suitable for the Hun army. The initiative is now in the hands of Qiangqu, and it is naturally up to Qiangqu to decide where to attack. This time, Qiangqu did not deny the adjutant general's method, and ordered the soldiers of the department to immediately turn around and change the rear team to the front team, and immediately march towards Huai'an County to eliminate the Taishi Ci department!

One-on-one with the official army, and it was also a frontal impact of the field battle, how could the officers and troops of Tai Shi Ci's department be the opponent of the brave and strong Hun cavalry.

Qiangqu even thought of the scene where he defeated the main force of Tai Shi Ci's official army, the elite of Youzhou's official army, at this time it was all in the hands of Tai Shi Ci, if it could be defeated in one fell swoop, the counties and counties of Youzhou would be powerless to stop their army from advancing eastward, if they attacked quickly, then the entire Youzhou might be subjugated to his iron cavalry.

The reason why Qiangqu chose to attack Guangning County, because this is a good road, if Tai Shici ignores it, Qiangqu will take the situation to capture Guangning County, if Tai Shici leads his troops to come to the rescue, then Qiangqu will immediately turn the gun and lead his troops to defeat Tai Shici. In Qiangqu's eyes, he was already invincible at this time. Even if Zhao Yi, who is famous in Youzhou, is in Huai'an County, he has nothing to do with himself.

In the past, Zhao Yi's defeat of the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army came to Qiang Qu's ears, and Qiang Qu had to admit that Zhao Yi did have some brains, but some strategies were okay to use once or twice, but in the face of absolute strength, any strategy was pale and powerless.

The combat effectiveness of his own soldiers is not good, even if there are strategists like Zhao Yi. Even if it is undefeated in the hands of the Qiangqu Department this time, it will be defeated in the hands of others in the future.

The war horses of the Qiangqu Department were extremely fast, and the 50,000 army brought up a puff of dust and smoke, turning into an overwhelming black wave, and flooded towards the Taishi Ci Department.

At this time, Tai Shici and others, who were marching to Guangning County, felt very awkward about Zhao Yi's slow marching method. Under the pleas of many generals, Zhao Yi finally agreed to lead his troops out of the city to rescue.

Tai Shici, Murong Fu and others had just mounted their horses, preparing to leap on their horses and whip the Hun soldiers, but they were stopped by Zhao Yi, who ordered his soldiers not to step up, but to keep a certain distance from the Hun army.

Tai Shi Ci vaguely thought of Zhao Yi's approach, Zhao Yi wanted the Xiongnu army to attack Guangning County first, when the Xiongnu and Guangning County defenders fought fiercely and it was difficult to get out, he led his troops to rush and kill, so that the Xiongnu army was killed in Guangning County. At that time, the attack of the Hun soldiers who were fighting with the defenders of Guangning County was slowed, and their own troops launched an attack at that time, and the chances of victory must have been greatly increased, this method was a good way, but watching the Hun army attack Guangning County and kill the soldiers of Youzhou, Tai Shici felt a little awkward.

Zhao Yi's mind was lively and saw the embarrassed look on Tai Shi Ci's face, and knew the ambivalence in Tai Shi Ci's heart, the ten-year-old boy was just when his blood was strong, there was no room for sand in his eyes, and he only had a very simple sentence to treat the enemy, if he didn't accept it, he would kill. But he has indescribable feelings for his colleagues and comrades-in-arms. In Tai Shici's eyes, allowing the Xiongnu to attack Guangning County was like beating himself. Even if this battle is won, Tai Shici will be very guilty.

"Have you ever heard a word from the Captain?" Zhao Yi asked Tai Shi Ci, but he didn't wait for Tai Shi Ci to speak, and he replied, "One will be a success, and ten thousand bones will wither." ”

"One will make ten thousand bones dry?" Tai Shi Ci muttered a few words, but what Zhao Yi said was a big truth. Xiang Yu Julu became famous in the first battle, although he defeated the main force of the Qin army led by Zhang Han, but the casualties of his soldiers were nearly 10,000. Although the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu, who defeated Xiang Yu, became famous, their soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties.

"Combat is like a grinding wheel for the average soldier. But what is crushed in this mill is not food, but life. Zhao Yi sighed, "As a captain in charge of a side of the army and horses, if he can't even see life and death, how can he annihilate the enemy army?" "In order to annihilate the enemy army, even if some soldiers are used as bait to lure the enemy army. There are many strategists who have done this kind of thing in history, and the world only remembers the merits of the strategists in the first battle, but they do not remember the innocent soldiers who were used as bait. This is where the ruthlessness of war comes in.

Tai Shi Ci heard Zhao Yi's words and nodded slowly, "My lord, the last general understands." "Zhao Yi is right, if you can't even see through life and death, how to defeat the enemy, in fact, leading troops to fight is like doing business, as long as you can exchange a small price for big benefits, then the leading generals can cooperate with the devil at any time.

Zhao Yi nodded, and glanced at the junction of heaven and earth in front of him, and Tai Shici and the others also noticed it, and even heard the sound like a muffled thunder, and the overwhelming murderous aura swept over, and the war horse under the crotch was stimulated by this murderous aura, and its four hooves kept hitting the ground, and a low neighing sounded from its mouth.

The scout who was exploring the way in front of him quickly ran over, "My lord, the Qiangqu department suddenly turned the army and was rushing towards our army, and at this time it was less than twenty-five miles away from our army!" ”

Hearing the scout's words, before Zhao Yi gave the order, his officers and soldiers pulled out their weapons one after another and looked ahead vigilantly.

Dian Wei subconsciously moved closer to Zhao Yi, and if there was a fight later, Dian Wei would protect Zhao Yi's safety. Even though Tai Shici and others were fierce generals in the world, they confronted 50,000 Hun soldiers head-on, and they were a little bottomless in their hearts. There were only 30,000 cavalry under his command, and the rear was all infantry. Fighting in the wilderness was a privileged place for cavalry to deal with infantry.

Zhao Yi's face did not change, and he had the courage to collapse in front of Taishan and not change his face, but the order given by Zhao Yi was diametrically opposed to this bearing, and Zhao Yi directly ordered "The army should immediately withdraw to Huai'an County!" ”

"Withdraw?!" Zhao Yi's order made Tai Shici and others very surprised, at this time the sabers of the Hun soldiers were almost on their necks, at this time, all bloody men should hold high their weapons and fight to the death with the Hun soldiers, even if they die under the other party's knife, they will not lose their integrity. There is no reason to flee without a fight?

"My lord, at this time, our troops should fight to the death with the Hun soldiers. And should not run away. Tai Shi Ci said.

"It's too late to explain why, so please do what I order. I promise that if the general does what I order, there will be a place for the general. ”

Zhao Yi had already said everything to this point, Tai Shici could only obey the order, and reluctantly waved his hand to order the soldiers of the Daijun Office to quickly withdraw to Huai'an County.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi and the others walked less than ten miles out of Huai'an County, and under the crazy running, they returned to Huai'an County in a very short time.

The Qiangqu Department that pursued Zhao Yi stopped less than five miles away from the county seat of Huai'an, and saw from a distance that the official army had fled outside the city, Qiangqu hatefully slapped the saddle and scolded in his mouth, "Tai Shici, you coward, you are not worthy of leading troops at all!" You're not a warrior! ”

Qiang Qu led his troops to fight in all directions, never let the enemy see his back and the butt of the war horse, for Qiang Qu to die in the hands of the enemy is not ashamed, but if he does not even have the courage to fight to the death with the enemy, he is simply not worthy of being called a man.

Qiang Qu scolded a few times here, and after venting the anger in his heart, he sighed. The initiative to attack is in his own hands, but the right to fight or not to fight is in the hands of Tai Shici.

Tai Shi Ci relied on Huai'an County to attack and retreat, and the city wall that was more than three feet high was like an insurmountable moat, blocking the fire and water like Hun soldiers.

"Chief, how should our department act at this moment, should we attack Huai'an County, or should we turn around and attack Guangning County?" The deputy general was very contemptuous of Tai Shici's behavior, and he wanted to slap Tai Shici a few times, but he also knew that this kind of thinking was impossible at present.

Qiang Qu looked at the city wall full of soldiers in the distance, and reluctantly waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to turn their horses and attack the county seat of Guangning. Huai'an County, which was guarded by 50,000 officers and soldiers, was naturally not easy for the Hun soldiers to break.

However, after Qiangqu led the soldiers to march for an hour, Tanma, who was observing the situation in Huai'an County, came and reported, "Chief, Taishi Ci's troops have left the county seat again and marched towards the county seat of Tianning. The speed is not much different from the last time. ”

Hearing this news, Qiangqu stopped and turned his head to look at the south, the intention of Tai Shici's department was so obvious, how could Qiangqu watch the other party achieve his goal. But if he turns his horse's head and goes back to fight with Tai Shi Ci, how should Tai Shi Ci deal with it when he returns to Huai'an County?

If you come again, the cavalry may lose its greatest support, and such a big movement of your own department will definitely attract the attention of Quang Ninh County, and then the time of your own round trip, the county order can be prepared.

"I see." Qiang Qu's eyes lit up, and he finally understood why Tai Shici fled without a fight. He's trying to stall for time! The longer the delay, the more obvious the disadvantage of the Qiangqu tribe will be, and hunger will easily crush their fighting spirit. At that time, the officers and troops will win without a fight.

What an insidious poisonous scheme! Qiang Qu praised in his heart, stared at the Guangning County in the north, his eyes flashed, and he gave an order, "Pass my general order, don't pay attention to the Taishi Ci Department behind, and the army will march towards Guangning County at full speed!" ”

The scouts of the official army reported the situation of the Qiangqu headquarters to Zhao Yi and others at all times, and learned that the speed of the Qiangqu headquarters suddenly accelerated, Tai Shici said, "It seems that the Qiangqu has abandoned us and is ready to attack the county seat of Guangning with all its might." ”

Zhao Yi had a smile on his face, he didn't want Qiangqu to return the same way, and going to Guangning County was exactly what Zhao Yi wanted. Because Zhao Yi had already prepared a gift for Qiangqu in Guangning County.
