Chapter 451: Confusing

Peng Yi saw Lu Gao's surprised expression, and he had already guessed that Lu Gao must be in the dark:

"So, General Lu doesn't know about it?"

"No, I don't know, I don't know." Lu Gao stammered.

"For so many years, you Xianguo didn't know that Gongzi Yan was hiding in Xianguo, and Jin didn't know either, it's really weird."

"General Peng, this won't be a mess. Gongzi Yan died in the chaos ten years ago, how could it be General Wei Xian. ”

"Ben will also be very curious, it seems that only after Gongzi Yan wakes up, can he know the reason. Now, General Lu first reported the situation of the barbarian army in detail so as to facilitate the actions of our army. ”

At this time, not far to the south, Jabanis found that the coalition army had arrived, and reluctantly led 20,000 gold-armored heavy cavalry to retreat to Tusai.

Lu Gao explained in detail the ins and outs of the past half month, and when he heard the news that the Xian army had annihilated 35,600 barbarian troops with 12,000 people, Peng Yi and others were shocked:

"This is the left ear of the barbarian army, please General Peng." Lu Gao motioned to his subordinates to bring out hundreds of sacks, and then said: "There are more than 22,000 left ears here, and another 2,500 are distributed to the Qi army. There were still more than 10,000 barbarian corpses in the place where our army camped yesterday, a total of scattered corpses and fierce wolves, killing 35,600 enemies, and the casualties are unknown. ”

After listening to Lu Gao's detailed explanation, Peng Yi gasped, and his eyes quickly turned to Sai Qian:

"Master Saiqian, this doesn't seem to match Gongzi Yan's life."

Peng Yi's meaning is very clear, I doubt that Sai Qian will not admit his mistake, after all, it is said that Baili Yan is cynical, cowardly and lustful, where can he be such a general.

Seqian reacted strongly with emotion, and he said with tears in his eyes:

"How can my own disciples have the reason to admit their mistakes, the pendant on the swallow's chest is clearly owned by the country, how can there be a mistake."

"Did the master teach him the art of war? Ben doesn't seem to remember that the master is proficient in the art of war. ”

"This ...... Sai just didn't know. ”

The dead Baili Yan is incomprehensible, and the living Bai Li Yan is becoming more and more confusing, and no one knows why in the past ten years, Bai Li Yan has become the general of the Xian State who is famous in the Central Plains.

When he was young, the medical officer gave Bailiyan a few fever-reducing pills, and the reinforcements continued to move south, preparing to besiege the fortress.

Peng Yi returned to the Chinese army and told the whole thing in detail with the military advisor Su Fangxin:

"Strategist, how do you think this matter can be resolved?"

"This matter is tricky, the Jin army is now stationed in the country, and the excuse is to mourn for Bailiyan. It is conceivable that the Jin Kingdom has long had the intention of killing Baili Yan. Now Bailiyan is not only not dead, it is not what it used to be ten years ago, I am afraid that it will be more dangerous than it was back then, how can the Jin Kingdom raise tigers in the Xian country, sooner or later he will be eliminated.

However, at present, Baili Yan went all the way north to kill the barbarian army, and he was able to send 20,000 gold-armored heavy cavalry to chase and kill, which shows that the barbarian army hates him, but our army might as well play the banner of the Xian army and continue to go south, in order to deter the barbarian army, it will definitely be able to reap miraculous results. ”

"Well, this plan is exactly what I want, then play the banner of the Xianjun army and deceive them."

Peng Yi ordered the elite to move forward to open the way, play the banner of the Xianguo, and pretend that the main force of the Xianguo passed by, so as to strengthen the prestige of the reinforcements.

About half an hour, Peng Yi's vanguard of 80,000 people was the first to arrive three miles north of the barbarian army, and Jabanis was horrified to see more than a dozen banners of the Xian army waving in the wind, and he inexplicably had a certain fear in his heart:

"Oh shit, their main force has arrived!"

"It's the head of the regiment, let's withdraw." The first soldier commander said.

"Without the order of the corps commander, who dares to withdraw, when will the messenger sent return."

"At least it will be dusk before we can get back. There is no room for so many of us and horses, and if they surround us, they will shoot us into a sieve with arrows. ”

"How many wolves are there in Kiros?" Jabanis asked again.

"Eight heads, five wounded."

"What, eight-headed! The northerners actually killed one hundred and thirty heads. Jabanis was furious: "Order the cavalry, withdraw to the outside of the city as soon as possible, and set up camp outside the city, let the strong archers join the wall, and if the northerners dare to approach, shoot them." ”

"Yes!"

The Jinjia heavy cavalry quickly retreated to camp two miles south of Tusai, Peng Yi did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and transferred troops to defend the two wings of the Chinese army.

"For thousands of remnants, the barbarian army dispatched 20,000 gold-armored heavy cavalry, and it seems that the Xian army's record is really worthwhile. Soviet division, how should our army respond? ”

"The commander ordered our army to attack the cavalry corps from behind, which now seems to be difficult to achieve. Most of our troops are infantry troops on horseback, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in cavalry combat, and if they continue to march, they will be taken advantage of. If you can attract the main force of the barbarian cavalry, or force it to retreat, and fight a decisive battle under Xiaochi City, you may be able to fight. ”

"There are still three days left in the imperial marshal's deadline, and it will take more than one day to go west of Luyuan Slope, and it will be difficult to attract the main force of the barbarian cavalry within two days."

Peng Yi said, Su Fangxin thought for a moment, and suddenly had a plan:

"The Xian army killed the barbarian iron cavalry with a trap, why can't our army besiege the barbarian army with this plan, and then make a detour?"

"I'm afraid it can't. As long as the barbarian army does not move, it can make a plan. Moreover, the confrontation between the two armies was only three to five miles apart, and the situation was clearly divided, so if our army made any abnormal moves, how could we hide from them. ”

"Hehe......" Su Fangxin smiled indifferently and continued: "Why hide it from them, our army has 300,000 horses here, and people will dig a trench on the spot to surround this soil plug, and it will be done in one day, what can he do to me." ”

"Huh! Turn the attack into defense, and force the barbarian army to come and attack me! ”

"If our army is on the defensive, most of the barbarians will not attack, but if our army is on the march, it will come to attack us. Trenches can be dug to the north and west of the blockade, and then our army will set up a position on the south flank, forcing its gold-armored heavy cavalry to retreat to the east or southeast.

In the end, our army dug a trench on the south side and besieged Tusai on three sides, so that our army could continue to force the barbarian gold-armored heavy cavalry to retreat to the east, and its garrison Tusai infantry army could not watch our army cut off its retreat, so it was inevitable to abandon the Tusai and join forces with the gold-armored heavy cavalry. ”

"Well, it's a good plan, then dig a trench and surround him to death!"

As he spoke, the royal scout came on horseback and said quickly:

"Report to the general, a large number of barbarian soldiers and wolf corpses have indeed been found ten miles to the south, not to mention as many as 10,000."

Su Fangxin took over and said:

"General Peng, the combat strength of the Xian army is extraordinary, if the coalition forces can be like this, why should I worry about the barbarian army in the Central Plains."

"But the Xian army is well-equipped, and the armor and weapons used are beyond my reach, and the cost is huge, which is beyond the reach of our coalition forces."

Peng Yi came to lead an army of 300,000, but the regular army was actually only 50,000, and the rest were all civilian troops from all over the country, all the way on horseback. The scale is huge, but the combat effectiveness is very worrying, the armor ratio is less than 30%, the iron equipment rate is only 40%, and more than half still rely on bronze weapons to fight. 300,000 cavalry infantry troops were attacked by 20,000 elite gold-armored heavy cavalry in a hurry, and the consequences can be imagined.

The hastily built earthen plug by Kilos was only a few miles long, and the wall was no more than a foot high, barely holding tens of thousands of people at best. Peng Yi ordered 80,000 men to dig a trench 250 steps north of Tusai, transfer another 80,000 spears, hook and sickle men, and 20,000 crossbowmen to defend them, and the main force of the army was stationed three miles west of Tusai.

The coalition movement also caught Jabanis's attention:

"Hell, they're digging trenches!"

"We can rush over and crush them"

One of his subordinates proposed, and Jabanis scoffed:

"Are you blind, their infantry has set up a spear formation, and they are rushing to attack to send them to death!"

The barbarian army learned in advance that Peng Yi's reinforcements would ride south on horseback, so the cavalry battle undoubtedly had an absolute advantage over the barbarian cavalry. As an infantry on horseback, no matter how good the fighting skills are, it will not help, and cavalry is a class of men and horses after all.

Peng Yi listened to the Soviet side's strategy and formed an infantry formation to besiege Tusai, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the cavalry to attack the infantry formation.

At dusk, the order of the corps commander Bunachu arrived:

"Report to the general, the commander of the corps has ordered our army to hold this place, and has sent the commander of the regiment of Dean to lead 20,000 light cavalry to reinforce the general."

"It's only 20,000! Oh my God, there are 300,000 of them. "Jabanis

Kiros originally had 30,000 infantry troops, 15,000 strong archers, 5,000 light cavalry, and 140 fierce wolves, and 40,000 or 50,000 light and heavy cavalry to guard here, which should be more than enough to clamp down on Peng Yi's reinforcements in a short time.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, more than 140 fierce wolves were inexplicably killed by Bailiyan, 120 or 30 were killed, 50,000 horses were killed in battle, more than 11,000 were injured, and more than 5,000 were injured.

"Hurry up and send someone to inform the corps commander immediately, the northerners are digging a trench outside the Tusai and can't hold on, I ask for the withdrawal of troops."

"Yes!"

Now everyone can see that the trenches on the periphery of the coalition forces are intended to trap the earth blocks, and continuing to hold on is tantamount to sitting still. Of course, Jabanese knows this truth better, Tusai has lost the ability to take the initiative to attack, and he can't take the initiative to attack, so he can only be surrounded and killed in Tusai.

That night, Cao Chi was in the camp, and the return of the Qi army led by Ji Yao made Cao Chizheng puzzled:

"Mr. Su, how much truth do you think what Ji Yao said is true and how much is false?"

"According to the following opinion, seven points are false and three points are true, it is not false to encounter a strong enemy, and it is a lie to die and retreat. There were only more than 3,000 people who fled back to the Qi army with Ji Yao, and the total number of wounded soldiers who accompanied Xian and Qi was only 6,000, and then 15,600 people fled back.

According to Ji Yao and Qi Jun, after Wei Xian led the army to break, he actually led his troops to escape. If this is the case, why did the Qi army break through the siege in two parts, so that they were not afraid of being annihilated by the barbarian cavalry? ”

"Then since it is not an escape, Xu Tu will also report that the Xian army will enter the city in the future, where will Wei Xian and the Xian army be?"

"Will it be inserted between Xiaochi and the Barbarian Cavalry Legion?"

Su Fangyi boldly guessed, and pointed behind the barbarian army in front:

"There? Ben Shuai explicitly ordered him to enter the pine forest in the northeast of Pingshuang Mountain, why did he go there. ”
