Chapter 464: Clearly calculated to win the enemy, but fell into the secret calculation

Fang Xie first broke into the rebel camp with the Shanzi battalion, first quickly split the front camp and then immediately rushed in the direction of the Chinese army, successfully attracting Zheng Duojin's hastily organized men and horses, and Chen Dingnan's Han cavalry came just right, and broke a gap in the reluctantly organized defensive phalanx of the rebels from the flank. When the killing was bloody, those cold cavalry became more and more unstoppable.

Zheng Duojin was killed by Fang Xie with an arrow, and this quite brave man didn't know how to die.

As soon as Zheng Duojin died, the rebels immediately panicked.

The Han cavalry rolled over from behind, just as the Mengyuan people did when they attacked the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great Sui Dynasty from behind, and they were intercepting and killing the rebels' routs for a while. Fang Jie's Shanzi battalion immediately reduced the number of rebels in the face, and if the enemy was unable to break the army, it would be sorry for the situation if he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Don't rush forward, a squad of fifty people, spread out, and drive the rebel rout to the rear camp in a circle!"

Fang Xie restrained loudly for fear of losing his advantage if he rushed too fast, and the herald immediately blew the horn.

As the horn sounded, the cavalry of the Shanzi battalion dispersed in groups of fifty. Like a rake, it combed back and forth between the rebel camps, forcing the rebels to run backwards. The number of rebel cavalry left in the rear camp was not large, and they were blocked by their own defeated troops and could not support them at all. The rout spread like a tidal wave, and the law enforcement team tried to stop it but to no avail.

Originally, the rebels still had an absolute superiority in numbers, but the defeat was like a mountain, and it was not something that one or two rebel generals who could still stay awake could stop it.

Chen Dingnan, who had risen to the occasion, immediately became more excited when he saw the rebel cavalry appear in the distance. The slaughter of the rout was far less exciting than the fight with the cavalry, and he immediately turned his horse and charged in the direction of the rebel cavalry. The Han cavalry of the Northern Liao region is wilder than him, and he naturally likes to fight with the enemy's cavalry. They even looked down on the wolf riders of the Mengyuan people, and this innate wildness was their greatest reliance on invincibility.

In their minds, killing these rebels, who had almost given up resistance, did not feel anything. Although the cavalry of the rebels is not as good as the wolf cavalry of Meng Yuan, if they make a choice at this time, the cold cavalry will naturally choose to kill the object that can satisfy them more.

The rebel cavalry, which numbered less than 1,000 men, was smashed to pieces by the surging cold cavalry before they could withdraw from their own defeated army.

In the words of the rebels, fighting with the barbarians of the Northern Liao Land will always have the illusion that they are fighting against a group of wild beasts.

At this time, Fang Xie no longer deliberately intervened in how the cold cavalry fought, the defeat of the rebels was decided, unless there was a miracle, otherwise it would be difficult to organize a decent counterattack even if the troops were strong. The cavalry of the Yakuji battalion cleared up the rebels who were at the rear with the tactics of squads and criss-crossed, and kept putting pressure on the rout. Once this situation is formed, the gods can't save it.

Fang Xie glanced back and ordered: "Let Chen Yishan send people to control the rebels' baggage battalion, and then divide a group of people to guard the gate." In addition, send someone to the Jiazigou side, let Lu Fenghou stay in place, and tell him that I will lead the team back before dark. ”

"Whoa"

The soldiers answered, and then went out to give the order.

Fang Xie stopped the red horse, looked at the battle situation and smiled with satisfaction. The night before yesterday, Sun Kaidao and he discussed in the big tent until almost dawn. Sun Kaidao's prediction was indeed not wrong, everything was planned. After the big dog took the flying fish robe to the clamp ditch to investigate, Sun Kaidao felt that something was wrong. Fang Xie also felt that it was unreasonable, so when Sun Kaidao mentioned it, Fang Xie immediately found resonance.

This decision can be said to be bold, and it is the entire Shanzi Camp that is blocked.

For Fang Jie, this is fighting for his life.

But Fang Xie had no apprehension from the beginning, he was a decisive person, and since he had made a decision, he would not hesitate anymore. And to accomplish his idea, it is definitely not enough to rely on a mountain character battalion. The surprise attack requires speed first, and the infantry of the Yangzi battalion can't use it and have to guard the retreat of Jiazigou, so Fang Xie went to ask Yan Chongde to borrow 3,000 Han cavalry. Wanyan Chongde lent it to him without even asking, and Fang Xie was more sure.

Next, Fang Xie is waiting for the time to deliver the most lethal blow to the enemy.

He didn't have to wait long.

Just after the cold cavalry slaughtered the few cavalry of the rebels like chopping melons and vegetables, a thick cloud of smoke and dust rolled in from outside the gate. When Fang Xie heard the loud sound of bull horns and saw the flying lion flag appear in his sight, he knew that today's big victory was a foregone conclusion.

Rushing to the Han cavalry led by Wanyan Chongde himself, no less than 7,000 cavalry.

Wanyan Chongde saw where Fang Jie's flag was, and immediately urged the horse to rush over to this side, seeing Fang Xie stopping the horse standing there and looking at himself with a smile, Wanyan Chongde couldn't help but praise: "When Master Mou explained to me, it scared my heart out of my throat, I never thought that you borrowed three thousand cold horses from me to plan to raid the rebel camp!" If I had asked you what you were going to do last night, I wouldn't have been shocked today! ”

"I'm sorry!"

Fang Xie hugged his fists and said: "I shouldn't have concealed it, but because I didn't have much success beforehand, if I said it, I'm afraid that even you wouldn't dare to lend me cavalry." ”

Wanyan Chongde didn't care, nodded and said, "That's right, if I knew that you were so bold, I would definitely not dare to lend you troops." I thought you were going to go through the clamp ditch and borrow my cold cavalry for support. Who would have thought that what you are seeking is not a clamp ditch at all, but Meng Wansui's lair! ”

Fang Xie smiled: "I have to bother His Highness to rush to the rebels' rear camp with people, and I can't give the rebels a chance to breathe." ”

"Understood!"

Wan Yan Chongde nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he led the cold cavalry to the rebel rear camp and pressed over. The newly arrived cold cavalry saw that their companions who had been fighting for more than an hour before had gained a lot, and they immediately felt red. These wolves rushed into the flock of sheep, wielding sabers and killing people.

Fang Xie looked at the unstoppable morale of the wolf cavalry, and looked at their hideous appearance when they killed, but his face gradually became solemn.

This was a victory, but it was the alien race of the Northern Liao Land who assisted him in killing people, and although the enemy was killed, it was of the same origin.

Looking at the flying lion flag in the crowd, Fang Xie was thoughtful.

……

……

By the time the infantry of the Sui army arrived, the rebel camp turned into a hell. I don't know what's wrong, but the always soft-hearted Mou Liangbi treated the rebels unusually, and after the battle, more than 16,000 rebels were captured, and he actually ordered to kill them all with the same face.

This order made the generals of the Sui army, who were quite dissatisfied with him before, dumbfounded. No one understands that this literati, who was unwilling to kill even Li Xiaozong's more than 100 cronies a few days ago, was so ruthless in his attitude towards the rebels.

Even Fang Xie was a little surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason. And the moment he figured it out, Fang Jie's heart couldn't help but sink down.

Mou Liangbi is a typical loyal literati, and his attitude towards traitors in his bones is that he will not tolerate them. In his opinion, most of Li Xiaozong's personal soldiers, after all, were mostly people who survived the defeat of the Mandu Banner, and he couldn't bear to kill them. But in his eyes, the rebels are no longer Sui people, they are enemies. And he was afraid that killing those people would arouse the disgust of other rebel generals, who knew that it would backfire.

And the calmness of this man lies in the fact that he knows that there is no benefit in keeping these rebels behind. More than 10,000 prisoners, they couldn't be taken away at all. The quality of these people is too far from that of the Sui army, and the Sui army is inevitably resistant to the captives, even if they stay, it is difficult to integrate together, they are enemies who are incompatible with life and death, and they suddenly become comrades, who are afraid that no one will look at them.

And the army was about to retreat immediately, and with so many prisoners, the pressure on the cottage was too great. Once these captives were in collusion with the rebels, the safety of the cottage was not guaranteed.

And the most important thing.

It's his selfishness.

He was imprisoned in prison for more than ten years, and he was entrusted with important tasks before he came out to be an official. The position of the secretary of the military department was replaced by Zong Lianghu, and he still has the responsibility for the defeat of the Northwest Army, even if he has some military exploits, but the emperor is not good at arranging for the official to be reinstated, in that case, where will Zong Lianghu be placed?

And he doesn't dare to provoke right and wrong now, if he is said in front of the emperor in the future, he is soft on the rebels, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not cut off his way back to the court.

"Can't stay long"

After Mou Liangbi ordered the massacre of the prisoners, he immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the rebels' baggage camp.

"Meng Wansui's reinforcements will be back soon, and the baggage must be brought and withdrawn as soon as possible."

The subordinates sighed and arranged for people to carry the grain and grass baggage.

"My lord, how could you have guessed that Meng Wansui was not in the camp?"

A Sui army general asked admiringly.

Mou Liangbi glanced at him and smiled faintly: "Li Xiaozong was killed, Meng Wansui will not know." Since he knew that Li Xiaozong was dead, there was no need for him to carry out his previous agreement with Li Xiaozong. If Li Xiaozong asked Meng Wansui to set up an ambush in Jiazigou in order to kill me in Jiazigou, then Li Xiaozong died, Meng Wansui would definitely wonder if his agreement with Li Xiaozong had been leaked? If it leaks, then what is the use of an ambush in the clamp ditch? ”

"But after our people investigated, they found that there are still traces of rebels in Jiazigou, why did Meng Wansui do such a meaningless thing?"

Mou Liangbi raised his chin slightly and said: "Because he just doesn't want us to go to Jiazigou, and the ambush in Jiazigou is what he deliberately let our people see." The terrain of Jiazigou is dangerous, he only needs to send some suspicious soldiers there, we will not dare to go, but choose to take the avenue to bypass Hou Wushan and go back. Meng Wansui was only afraid of taking a large group of people at this time, and he had already set up an ambush on the avenue, opening his pockets and waiting for us to drill, so ...... There must be emptiness in the rebels' western camp. ”

After listening to him, the generals of the Sui army understood, and the eyes that looked at Mou Liangbi no longer had the contempt they had a few days ago, they were all admiration. They weren't convinced of Mou Liangbi before, but this big victory made them have to be convinced.

"Of course, this big victory is also because of General Fang's bravery."

Mou Liangbi said lightly, then turned around and walked away: "Order the men and horses to hurry up, and then immediately evacuate in the direction of Jiazigou, I have arranged for the people and horses to answer in Jiazigou, and they must arrive before dark!" ”

Cui Zhongzhen looked at the back of Mou Liangbi who was far away, and the anger in his eyes became hotter and hotter.

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly let out a long sigh.

Looks lonely

……

……

Fang Xie walked at the front with the team, glanced back at Cui Zhongzhen, who was following up, and smiled: "What's the matter, I was unhappy." ”

Cui Zhongzhen sneered: "I can only understand now how unpredictable people's hearts are!" ”

"Who is messing with you?"

Fang asked.

"Don't play stupid!"

Cui Zhongzhen said: "I don't believe in Mou Liangbi's intentions, you don't see it, I don't believe that you can be happy in your heart...... This big win has nothing to do with him from start to finish, it's all arranged by you. But he didn't say a word about the generals, as if they were all planned by him. From setting foot on the camp to arranging a retreat, which one did he think? Now those generals are full of praise and sincere respect for him, and it has taken so much effort to make it have nothing to do with you. ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "Master Mou...... Hehe...... After all, there are many official roads, so I think about it more. ”

Cui Zhongzhen sighed: "Although I know that this is a common trick used by court officials, and I have been taught these things since I was a child, but now it seems that I am really not suitable to be an official, and I can't be angry when I see such dirty things." After this battle, Lao Tzu will go home! I'd rather farm than look at such ugly faces again! ”

"Your temperament is a lot hotter than before."

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder, hiding the suppressed anger in his eyes.
