Yue Qifeng didn't expect that after his side was ready to collect the troops, the battle guards actually put on a posture of interception and entanglement, you know, the ambushed battle guards only had more than 10,000 people, but the bandits were close to 30,000, if it was in peacetime, the battle guards saw the bandits withdrawing their troops, and it was too late to be happy, how could they intercept and entangle and obstruct the withdrawal of troops?

Looking at the unreasonable and suspicious actions of the battle guards, thinking of Mr. Dongfang's drum, Yue Qifeng felt that something was wrong, ignoring the entanglement and obstruction of those battle guards, he ordered the team to retreat quickly.

"Drive! Drive! Come on! ”

As soon as Yue Qifeng led his men to retreat from Shajiamen to the foot of Baihu Mountain, he saw a piece of iron cavalry attacking from the direction of the base camp of the war guards, countless war horses neighed in front, and dust rolled up in the rear, the earth was shaken by the trampling of those war horses, and the cavalry waved their weapons and roared loudly, looking at those horse-wielding cavalry, Yue Qifeng's scalp was numb.

"How------ how is it possible?"

"Oh my God, so many cavalry!"

"Those cavalrymen must have at least seven or eight thousand, right?"

"Could it be that the Heavy Cavalry Legion has been dispatched?"

Hearing the whispers of the various leaders under him, Yue Qifeng's face was a little ugly, looking at the cavalry on the opposite side that was covered with dust, Yue Qifeng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he walked in front of Mr. Dongfang, and said sincerely:

"Thank you sir for the timely warning, I only thought that the other party hid more than 10,000 infantry, but I didn't think that they still have such a killer weapon, looking at that posture, there are seven or eight thousand cavalry, almost one cavalry 10,000 people.

If it really goes against a cavalry team of 10,000 people, our brothers will really not see enough, and then with those infantry ambushes and those officers and soldiers who withdrew before, the two sides will fight and lose both.

Just now I was still wondering that those soldiers who ambushed in the woods would actually prevent us from withdrawing, it turned out that he had made this calculation, he wanted to attract us all over, and then annihilate us in one fell swoop, it was really insidious, fortunately withdrawed. ”

Facing Yue Qifeng's emotion, Mr. Dongfang ignored it, he looked at the opposite camp from a distance, only to see that after those cavalry arrived in the woods, they had no intention of continuing to chase them, and hovered in place for a while before withdrawing, leaving only the infantry to clean up the battlefield.

"Why didn't you chase after you? Are you reluctant to break the net? Or is it a bluff at all? With an imperceptible whisper, Mr. Dongfang told Yue Qifeng: "Send someone to clean up the battlefield under the mountain and find a way to find a living mouth for the battle guards."

Check these corpses one by one, as long as there are still panting on the side of the battle guards, find a way to cure them, today's battle is interesting, the other party's generals have some doorways, I need to find those wounded to understand the situation.

In order to avoid the plague, all the corpses were burned and buried, since both sides showed their hole cards, it was only a game left, whether to lose or stop peacefully, it depends on the other party's next move. ”

"Sir, shall we arrange some men from the foot of the mountain? What if the other side continues to besiege the mountain pass? One of the leaders asked.

"No, they're not going to do that." Mr. Dongfang said slowly.

"Why?" The man was puzzled.

"Because they don't dare." With that, Mr. Dongfang turned and walked towards the mountain.

Hearing Mr. Dongfang's affirmative tone, Yue Qifeng and those leaders looked at each other, and then everyone began to clean up the battlefield.

……

Four days have passed since the battle of Baihu Mountain, and on that day, Ling Xia used more than 2,000 war horses and more than 1,000 hybrid horses of the entire division to tie a branch to the tail of each horse, learning from the protagonist in the allusion in the book.

When Yue Qifeng led the people to fight with the soldiers hidden in the woods, Ling Xia and the others rode those horses, dragging the branches and pretending to support, not to mention, when Mr. Dongfang, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw the scene here, he was immediately frightened.

Not only Mr. Dongfang, Yue Qifeng and the others were frightened, but even some soldiers on their side believed it, looking at the dust raised after the war horse, people who didn't know thought that this was a cavalry team of 10,000 people.

With this bluff, Ling Xia scared Mr. Dongfang back, although Mr. Dongfang collected his troops and returned to the camp, but he also saw through the hole cards of the battle guards, and before leaving, he robbed three towns in a row, gritting his teeth but helpless with Yi Haojie.

Ling Xia was better, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and after leading people to the woods of Shajiamen, Ling Xia did the same thing as Mr. Dongfang, he quietly rescued several bandits with minor injuries under the pretext of treating the wounded.

After returning to the camp, Ling Xia interrogated those people, wanting to know some clues related to Baihu Mountain, but those bandits were quite tough and refused to answer Ling Xia's questions.

After a burst of crying fathers and mothers, Ling Xia interrogated the bandits again, this time they were much more honest, and told everything they knew like beans, and after listening to the confessions of several people, a name caught Ling Xia's attention------- Mr. Dongfang.

Collect those bandits and take them prisoners, Ling Xia is not asking, during this period, Yi Haojie once came to find Ling Xia, it turned out that when the war was summarized afterwards, several commanders questioned Yi Haojie's command ability.

The reason is that when Yue Qifeng led the vanguard of the first echelon to attack the mountain pass, Yi Haojie could have sent the ambush soldiers hidden in the woods over, and with the addition of these ambush soldiers, he could also strangle thousands more bandits, and everyone accused Yi Haojie of wasting this opportunity in vain.

In this regard, Ling Xia smiled, and he told Yi Haojie that if all the ambush soldiers hidden in the woods rushed to the foot of the mountain to participate in the battle, they would indeed be able to strangle thousands more bandits, but the price paid would be the annihilation of the entire army.

The reason is very simple, when the second and third echelons of the bandits converge to participate in the battle, it is impossible for those soldiers to withdraw and retreat, and even if they reluctantly retreat, they will not be able to resist the pursuit of the bandits.

By the time the bandits chased them to the woods of Shajiamen, there was no longer anything to rely on, because that was already the full force, and at that time, let alone sending 3,000 fake cavalry to bluff people, even if 10,000 real cavalry were sent, the other party might not retreat.

The reason why they were able to bluff those bandits this time was because they couldn't figure out the real strength of the battle guards, mistakenly thought that the forces of the two sides were close, and they were reluctant to fight with the war guards, so they withdrew and truce.

Therefore, in that case, it was better to kill fewer bandits than to retain their strength, and if they had rashly sent all their troops, the bandits would have been exterminated by a few thousand at most, but the battle guards would have all been wiped out.

When Yi Haojie told Ling Xia's remarks to the commanders who questioned him, everyone was shocked into a cold sweat, and apologized to Yi Haojie for admitting his mistakes, and Fu Qingyun and Xiang Kunlun were also secretly dangerous, praising Yi Haojie for being brave and resourceful, wise and brave.

Then, Fu Qingyun told Yi Haojie with a slight hint that the division was greatly injured this time, and it was bound to replenish the troops after suppressing the bandits, and the position of the general might be adjusted at that time.

Hearing Fu Qingyun's words, Yi Haojie was immediately overjoyed, he was full of gratitude for Fu Qingyun's kindness, calmed down, Yi Haojie forced himself to calm down, saying that he would do his best to suppress the bandits, seeing Yi Haojie so calm, Fu Qingyun was even more satisfied with him.

"Great victory!"

"The Tiger Division has won a great victory!"

After several days of counting and dealing with the aftermath, the division issued a good report to the military headquarters, saying that in the first battle of Baihu Mountain, the Tiger Division suffered more than 4,700 soldiers, damaged 35 chariots, suppressed more than 8,000 bandits, including more than 1,700 cavalrymen, captured more than 600 war horses, and captured more than 500 prisoners.

This battle against bandits was earth-shattering, and the report of the war on the suppression of bandits that the governor yamen had already learned about had to say that the extermination of more than 8,000 bandits in the Juyi Hall this time really surprised the governor yamen, and they did not expect that the Tiger Division would hit the Juyi Hall hard.

After the good news was issued, the governor Yamen immediately sent an official messenger to condole, sent a large number of supplies, the corps commander Nangong Bo personally came to the temporary camp of the division to commend the meritorious people who suppressed the bandits, it is said that Fu Qingyun praised Yi Haojie in person, Nangong Bo even left Yi Haojie to eat a meal.

Although the White Tiger Mountain is still there, and the Juyi Hall has not been exterminated, but this battle has hurt their vitality, in view of the loss of 4,000 people in the division this time, and there are only more than 17,000 people left in the entire division, worried that all the remaining soldiers will be wiped out, so Nangong Bo ordered to suspend the suppression of bandits, and wait for the imperial court to replenish the strength of Qi before continuing to encircle and suppress Baihu Mountain.

Hearing that there was no need to suppress bandits for the time being before the strength was replenished, the officers and men of the division and regiment immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was already a miracle that they were able to achieve such results last time, although Juyitang had lost more than 8,000 bandits, there were still more than 27,000 people, close to a reorganized division.

If the battle guards fight blindly and continue to suppress the bandits with the soldiers and horses in front of them, what awaits them can only be the annihilation of the whole army, fortunately, Nangong Bo thought of this and ordered a pause to suppress the bandits, so that the soldiers could take advantage of this gap to recuperate.

Because Yi Haojie was in charge of the main station this time, when he cleared the spoils, he sent most of those war horses, shields, bows and arrows, and sabers to his side, leaving only some defective products to be distributed to other teams.

During this time, Ling Xia was busy and untenable, he sorted and put away the newly collected materials, and was busy allocating materials, in the army, other materials were not in short supply, only medicines were in short supply.

"My lord, the 300-man team will receive forty copies of the gold sore medicine."

"My lord, the 700th team will receive thirty copies of Qingliangsan."

"All of them will be distributed in full, and some bone-setting drugs will be distributed." Ling Xia commanded without raising his head.

"My lord, there's something wrong with that, isn't it?" The little official in charge of managing the medicine stood up and looked at Ling Xia with a look of embarrassment: "Although this Golden Sore Medicine and Qingliangsan are only Nine Rank Pills, there is too much consumption gap, if we have unlimited distribution according to our needs, we will not have enough reserve medicines in the future when we fight." ”

"Jiupin? What do you mean? Are these healing potions still graded? Ling Xia asked suspiciously.
