Chapter 277: Inviting the Leader to Respond (Compensation)
By the time Luo Yan figured out the countermeasures, the army was already approaching the foot of Yin Mountain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The team brought out by Li Jing this time was only 5,000 people, compared to the 70,000 people after joining Xu Shiji, this was definitely a small force. Among the 5,000 people, of course, there are 1,000 elites of Luo Yan. Li Jing can not give Luo Yan the opportunity to be the main force, but he must not give him the opportunity to go north with the army. Everyone understands the filth here, and it's one thing to bring it without fighting, and it's another thing to bring it at all.
The Turkic tribes had already relocated to the vicinity of Yinshan with Jieli's northward retreat, and they did not encounter any resistance along the way, and not even a single Turkic scout found it.
This result made the originally excited elite soldiers lose a lot of fun in running long distances. That's right, picking up the Turks along the way is a pleasure in their eyes. If I had to summarize such an idea, it would be to destroy the living forces of the Turks. Anyway, the Turkic young and strong people who dismounted were herdsmen, and when they got on their horses, they were soldiers.
But that disappointment is now gone.
Without him, after running for several days, a dense camp tent appeared in front of him.
What does this mean? O Turkic army. The tents of the nomadic tribes are very arbitrary, and the size and color of the tarpaulin are made according to the actual needs and preferences of each family. Therefore, when encountering the kind of tent communities of different sizes and sizes, they must be Turkic tribes.
But that's clearly not the case in front of you. Estimates, there are almost a thousand tents. Uniform color and size, in the middle of this tent like a star, there is also a huge tent that is guarded. If you can't see what it is, then Li Jing and the others will be generals for nothing.
That's right, officially Turkic barracks.
If you estimate it, there are tens of thousands of people. Of course, this is not the real reason that makes Li Jing and them happy, 10,000 people is nothing. Just as this tent guards the big tent in the middle, so it also guards the tooth tent of Jieli. With these 10,000 people, it can finally be determined that further forward, it must be where Jieli's tooth tent is.
"Dashuai, go around, or?"
Luo Yan pursed his lips and looked at the general who asked this question with a burst of contempt. If you don't eat the meat to your mouth, can you afford to run for so long? What's more, if you don't grab a few tongues and ask, how can you confirm the exact location of Jieli. I really don't know how this thing became a general, leading the most elite soldiers.
"Hit." Li Jing only said one word.
But how to fight needs to be carefully studied. Because Luo Yan is burdened with a special task, he also knows that he can only do miscellaneous work now, so he can only come up with ideas here to mess with people.
"Marshal, I see, General Su led people to attack on the left, General Chang led people to respond on the right, and I led the team to quickly circle the horse and prepare for the volley. We are acting secretively this time, and we will not be able to let even one of these Turks escape. Even if the Turks wanted to escape, they would have to do so from where we are standing now. When the time comes, the three parties will pursue together, and there will be a large team of people in charge of Xu behind, so I am not afraid that they will be able to escape. ”
"It's a good idea to encircle three and lose one, and then let the deserters throw themselves into the net. However, are you sure that your thousand men will be able to withstand the pressure of the rout? ”
"Although the commander can rest assured, my thousand people can attack from afar and fight closely, and the rout itself is flustered, seeing that there is an ambush on my side, I will definitely not dare to break through too much. As soon as I repel a round of their attacks, I will suspect that I have a heavy army here. ”
Li Jing, who was already a little tight, listened to Luo Yan's suggestion, nodded, and responded. Just do what he said, and after some arrangement, Luo Yan walked around the camp group for thirty miles to the back. Before he could breathe his breath, he heard shouts of killing in the distance.
Gu couldn't say that these two teammates were pigs, Luo Yan looked at the distance, ordered his men to form a good formation, and just waited for the Turks to flee this way, and then launched a fierce attack.
"The archers have taken note of me, and now the three hundred men are divided into two rounds, and the Turks have come and are within range, and they will shoot me to death. Our goal is not to kill as many people as possible, but to stop the enemy from coming this way. ”
As soon as he finished giving the order, he saw a large group of Turks rushing towards his side.
Not only Luo Yan, but also the archers in front of him were silently counting the distance in their hearts. The sky is not beautiful, it is just noon at this time, and there is no strong wind or anything. As for the foot, it is a flat river. If you don't have the right time and place, you can only fight for the word "people". Luo Yan knew that the effective shooting distance of these archers under his command was about fifty paces. At this time, the Turks were on horseback, and their side was on the ground, and the distance had to be discounted.
When the Turks saw that someone was blocking them, they began to shoot on horseback from a distance of sixty paces. Of course, these guys also want to be able to clear the obstacles in front of them with a few rounds of bows and arrows, and it is best to be able to completely extinguish them, and then their escape will be smoother.
With the speed of the horse, he shot arrows beyond the maximum range, a method that Luo Yan had used before, so he knew the secret. "Sword and shield hand, shield formation." Luo Yan didn't want these precious balls under his command to be killed by the Turks so easily, and the shield array was formed, but in the blink of an eye, he heard the sound of arrows nailing to the shield.
If the Turks continued to shoot like this, the archers on their side would be completely useless.
Luo Yan stretched out his bow, looked at a Turk who was giving orders on the opposite side, and sent the arrow out. Seeing the man fall off his horse, the Turks in front of him panicked. Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Yan shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, archer, shoot me in turn." Don't leave the Turks an opportunity. ”
What is Elite? In these archers, it is reflected that they are faster than others and farther away than others. At the urging of Luo Yan, the archers took turns firing arrows in their hands, and did not let any of the Turks rush thirty paces in front of them. In the blink of an eye, a ridge made of corpses was piled up in front of them, and with the horses scattered in the panic, the Turks' charge against Luo Yan's side became more and more powerless.
The Luoyan side was the least numerous, so the Turks did not give up their assault on this place.
Breathe a sigh of relief, this time the Turks learned to be obedient. First, the surplus war horses were organized, and then these war horses were the leaders, wanting to use the way of horses to rush through the Luo Yan encirclement.
To be honest, Luo Yan really doesn't have any good way to do this. But if you let the Turks rush over like this, wouldn't you be punished by Li Jing.
Absolutely not, after thinking about it, Luo Yan knew that the Turks must not be allowed to succeed. The next thing is a direct war against Jieli, if he is absent, not only will the system task not be completed, but even Li Shimin's task will not be completed. In this way, where can I still live?
"The soldiers took notice, and quickly took out the thing that ignited the fire, and the archers, tied the arrows to the strips of cloth and set them on fire and shot them out for me. The firehead, throw the firewood and the oil you have gathered in front of you about ten paces ahead, and then quickly ignite them. Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, and he can't cure these Turkic cubs. ”
In a hurry, Luo Yan suddenly remembered that most animals were afraid of fire. Before the horses could rush over, they would create a wall of fire on their side, and the Turks would naturally not be able to succeed.
Fortunately, although it was already February at this time, the snow and ice in the north had not yet melted. If it were in March, when the ice and snow melted and the withered grass became patches, Luo Yan really wouldn't dare to use this method. That will definitely cause a big fire, and in the end, even Su Dingfang and Li Jing in front of them can be cleaned up.
Sure enough, it just worked. The Turks began to attack from a hundred meters away, and Luo Yan lit the ignition when the horses were nearly forty meters away from him. Not only that, but let the archers shoot the rockets. When the horses that had been driven saw this, they were already frightened and turned around. Trampling on each other, the Turks were already blocked by their own horses before they could reach the effective firing range of the archers.
An attack became a joke.
The two rounds of breakthroughs were ineffective, and seeing that the left and right sides were about to kill the Chinese army, the Turks had no choice but to retreat obediently.
There aren't many opportunities to beat up the water dogs, and now is the right time. Luo Yan didn't want to waste it like this, so he waved the spear in his hand and shouted one word: "Chase." In an instant, the sword and shield man put away his shield, and the archer put away his arrows, turned on his horse, and after bypassing the wall of fire, he quickly pursued the Turkic cavalry who had fled.
This battle lasted only two hours, and Xu Shiji's rear army was not used at all, so he took all the heads of these 10,000 people.
After a big victory, Li Jing's face also showed a smile. smiled and praised the generals of the three parties, and then asked about the information provided by the captured tongue.
As expected, two hundred miles away is the Turkic tent.
This news was a big surprise for them as they prepared to raid. Two hundred miles away, the starry night journey can be reached in just two days. At this time, it was time for Li Jing to lay out the next plan to send troops.
After pondering for a while, I only heard Li Jing say: "Su Dingfang, you led more than 300 elite cavalry to raid the Jieli Tooth Tent. This part of the people was selected by General Luo's account. The others, with me, followed suit, and just waited for the Turkic camp to be in chaos, and we rushed in. General Luo, if I arrange it this way, you won't have any opinions. ”
Luo Yan was about to scold. But under the military order, where is there room for his opposition.
However, he can't be completely without opinions, since Li Jingcheng wants to let Su Dingfang take the lead in this Turkic work, then he is not polite. "The marshal naturally did not dare to have any objections to Luo Yan's arrangement, but in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, I asked myself to march to the west side of the Turkic tent. Before that, I had already agreed that Tang Shangshu and them would take advantage of the chaos and flee to the west. ”
Hearing Luo Yan like this, he had no intention of fighting for merit, although Li Jing was unhappy that Luo Yan contacted Tang Jian privately, he didn't say anything, and nodded and agreed to Luo Yan's request. (To be continued.) )
