Chapter 337: Guerrilla Warfare in the Northeast Second Strike
After receiving Bai Fan's flying eagle message, Dingxiang began to dispatch troops, and finally determined that Li Ji would lead Cheng Zhijie, Li Yuanji, Chai Shao, and Cheng Huaimo to fight against Goguryeo, and the remaining 100,000 troops would continue to pursue Jieli north.
From Dingxiang to Youzhou, the army needs ten days to march, seven days to march urgently, and four days for cavalry at the earliest.
When the vanguard army heard that Goguryeo had committed a border at a critical time, they were furious and rushed to kill the enemy one by one. These people are basically on the battlefield for the first time, and there are still many opportunities to go to the battlefield in the future, and in their opinion, capturing prisoners and taking war merits is not as happy as killing the enemy, so when Li Jing asked who was willing to meet the enemy, Cheng Huaimo was the first to stand up.
In the account of the Chinese army, Cheng Huaimo will discuss sending troops!
"This time to meet Goguryeo, although we also have 100,000 people, but the cavalry are all left in the grassland to chase Jieli, only our vanguard army has 3,000 cavalry, and the situation in Youzhou is urgent, so we need to rush as quickly as possible.
Bai Ma Yi from the fastest, the first batch of departure, starry night gallop to help Youzhou City, the military newspaper said that Yingzhou is estimated to have been lost, according to the speed of the calculation now it is estimated that the enemy has been under Youzhou City, the worst may be Youzhou has also been taken.
So, when your two thousand cavalry arrive, see if the city is broken? If the city is broken, it will look for an opportunity to wait for reinforcements, and if the city is not broken, the camera will attack and harass the enemy, and the other party has 100,000 people, so you must not touch it hard, Master has taught guerrilla tactics, so it is best to use this tactic to delay the enemy for three days. ”
"What about our tiger and leopard rides?" Fang Yiai asked.
"The tiger and leopard rider follows the army forward, you are a stunned thing, a thousand people dare to fight with 200,000, and you can't be let out alone.
Besides, the tiger and leopard riders are all heavily armored, and they can't run far at all, even if you go first, it's useless, follow the army with peace of mind, and wait until we successfully reach Youzhou, where is your slaughterhouse! ”
"What's wrong with me a thousand? A hundred people in the big black are on the ......" Fang Yiai whispered, everyone laughed, the two of them were reckless this time, and they almost folded in, Yu Chi Baolin is still lying now!
Due to the command mistakes of the two, many soldiers were killed, so the commander ordered that all the exploits of the two were canceled, and each of them wrote down fifty military sticks, and the military position was temporarily replaced, and they were settled together after the end of the war.
Four days later, when Qin Huaidao rushed to Youzhou with Bai Ma Yicong, he saw a devastated scene.
It turned out that the 100,000 troops of Goguryeo rushed into Youzhou and did not blindly besiege and attack, but seized the weakness of the internal defense of the Tang Dynasty, not attacking the city, only plundering, along the way from the border Yingzhou opened a gap, 100,000 soldiers and horses entered and began to loot Youzhou, although the city of Youzhou was not broken, but the loss of Youzhou has been difficult to estimate.
These Goguryeo people robbed everything, from the needlework and clothing of the poor people's homes, to the property, furniture, and farm tools, and finally took away all the young and strong laborers from all over the country as slaves.
Qin Huaidao was furious, where are these people still regular troops, they are simply bandits, they are all poor ghosts, and they rob everything!
This is also the cleverness of Goguryeo this time, Jieli sent people to the alliance, but who would blindly help if there was no interest? Even if the lips and teeth are cold and the horns are each other, so what? It is not enough to send troops once to do good deeds, at least 100,000 people must earn back their food and drink.
What's more, Goguryeo's powerful minister Yuan Gai Suwen didn't just think about this, this person was a generation of heroes, and he saw an opportunity in this war, that is, Jieli restrained all the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty must be empty inside, and it is definitely a rare harvest to plunder at this time, and at the same time, it can also relieve the siege of the grassland, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of the covenant!
"Brothers, Youzhou is the birthplace of the White Horse Righteous Servant, the White Horse General has been resisting the Hu Capture with the righteous troops outside, and today the barbarians are committing again, we can't shame our ancestors, follow me to kill all these bandits!" Qin Huaidao shouted.
"The sky is the proof, and the white horse is the evidence! White Horse is righteous, righteous and invincible! ”
The speed of Baima Yicong is unparalleled in the world, like a gale, it is an advantage in the flat land of Youzhou, this time Goguryeo divided troops to plunder, there are small forces everywhere, and the thousand-person team is rare, and they did not expect the Tang Dynasty to return so quickly, and they are still plundering.
The original plan was that Bai Ma Yi would come in to fight guerrillas, but the reality was that there was no need to plan at all, and the layout of Goguryeo's troops originally needed to be killed one by one, and the two thousand Bai Ma Yi Cong slaughtered the invaders on the land of Youzhou, just like a tiger entering a flock, leaving no place behind.
Goguryeo didn't react at all, until two days later, when the number of people was counted, it was found that there were 20,000 fewer unconsciously? Only after this investigation did it become clear that all 20,000 people had died silently.
This news made Goguryeo's leading general, Eji Wende, break out in a cold sweat, how could it be? Could this be a conspiracy of Datang? The one who lures us into plundering and then quietly kills us?
After thinking about it carefully, Eulzhi Wende felt that it was wrong, these days, the looting is extremely rich, in addition to the property, the most precious thing is a lot of classics and a lot of technical talents, whether it is farming or weaving, there are many talents who make iron and make iron, and now they have been successfully transported back to Goguryeo, and it is impossible for Datang to throw such a big bait.
Now it seems that it can only be that the Tang Dynasty has insufficient troops, there is no large army, and small forces are breaking through each other.
Yizhi Wende, who figured out the situation, immediately ordered the whole army to assemble, encircle Youzhou, and grab this last stop, this battle is considered a complete merit, as for the slaughter of our army? Surrounded by Youzhou, you naturally appeared.
In seven days, not only did Li Ji's side make substantial progress, but Li Jing's army also came to Jieli's lair again-the Eastern Turkic Royal Court!
"Great Khan, woe to us, Li Jing led the army to surround us again!"
"What? He still dares to chase in? Didn't Goguryeo and Tuyuhun do it? Jieli exclaimed.
"There is news that the two sides have already moved, and looking at Li Jing's troops, we know that there are only 100,000 people surrounding us now, less than half."
"How many of our 200,000 sons have returned?"
"Less than a thousand!"
"What? What's going on? ”
"According to the brothers who came back, the Tang army did not kill like crazy this time, but grabbed people like crazy, shouting to surrender and not kill, and our horses were also restrained by the tigers of the enemy army, so they couldn't run at all, and almost everyone surrendered and were captured.
The hundreds of people who came back were the first to run away on horseback. The subordinate reported in detail.
"Can he, Li Jing, eat my 200,000 captives? The guards alone need no less than 50,000, where did he get the troops? Jieli was puzzled.
In order to meet the needs of employing people in various places, all the state roads of Datang sent people to wait in Yunzhou early in accordance with the agreement, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were transferred from Dingxiang to Yunzhou in two days, and they were taken away by the defenders and officials of the various states and roads waiting here in one day.
If there is no such good way, Li Jing will definitely worry about these hundreds of thousands of captives, he can't afford to eat food alone, and he may finally negotiate with the two countries to put the captives back after fighting foreign wars, but now it's good, he didn't think about putting them back at all, and the captives are still in high demand, so they don't have to raise them themselves, just like doing business, they were sold when they were caught.
