Chapter 159: Predicament, Enemy!
In the past few months, Daqin's crusade order spread all over the desert, and more than 10,000 people arrived at the text sent by Chen Qing's order, and all the people were shocked by the 'extermination' above, the two Hu tribes, with a total population of no less than 100,000, can be pieced together soldiers
Not less than 50,000, which can be counted in the desert, so openly issuing a crusade order to exterminate the tribe is equivalent to forcing them to join forces, which is the common idea of all the big tribes, but before Li Ang led the dragoon army to attack the horse thieves, in January, dozens of battles of all sizes, never
A defeat, which made them extremely jealous.
This time will be the last wait-and-see, many big tribes have made a decision, for them, the old legend of the Great Qin Legion is a terrible legend that is almost a nightmare, they are afraid of the Great Qin, but they faintly hope that the undefeated myth will be broken,
The days of looking up to people and snorting are as good as the days of the free and easy emperor of the soil.
Outside the city of Xingqin, inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Ang and Chen Qingzhi and other officers were sitting quietly, with a chill in their eyes
The precursor, the crusade against these rebellious thieves, most of them are on the sidelines.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have not used swords in the thirty years of Great Qin, and I have been despised so much, which is really a shame for our martial artists." Li Ang said expressionlessly, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
"I am willing to kill the thief with the general and show my great Qin Wuwei." The neat response sounded, and the killing intent exuded by the officers present was strong, for these young officers who were mainly children of military and martial families. Since childhood, they have grown up listening to the past of their ancestors, the country
Glory is the glory of their family. It is their personal glory, they are a group of real great power chauvinists, or unloaded iron armor, they are the children of a well-behaved and prudent family, but once they set foot on the battlefield. It is not only the country that is carried
The majesty of the homeland, and the honor of the ancestors, all of this made their hearts like iron and stone, almost cold-blooded.
Li Ang looked at the cold officers, nodded at Chen Qingzhi, the situation has changed suddenly in the past half a month, and the fire that has been dormant before finally made a move, they sent 10,000 horse thieves to help the two Hu tribes, and even proposed to ask for the desert departments. Rise up
Strong, in order to protect the alliance of self-preservation. It is already equated with blatant rebellion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Dragoon Army has had a small-scale scout battle with the rebels five days ago, and the current strength of the rebels has reached 60,000, and the whole army is advancing towards Xingqin City, which is a provocation to our Great Qin." Chen Qingzhi told the latest news, he originally wanted to ride a dragon
The army intercepted the two Hu tribes. Then, with Ran Min's infantry division as the main force, supplemented by the tribal alliance, he directly exterminated these two Hu tribes, who would have thought that they would merge with the Liaoyuan fire and take the initiative to organize the army and march towards Xingqin City, which greatly surprised him.
"This battle will completely determine the situation of our army in the desert, if we win a big victory, then those wait-and-see tribes will attach ants to Xingqin City, if they are defeated. Then the tribes of the desert will be gathered under the banner of the traitor Shile, and the roads we have built will be reversed by those
The tribes of Shile were constantly harassed. Chen Qingzhi's face no longer had his usual gentleness. With a solemn face, there was a chilling coldness, "At that time, we have to ask for help from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which is not only a shame for our southern soldiers, but also for all the dragoons here."
Shame on the wingmen. ”
"At present, the main force of the enemy army has been stationed a hundred miles outside Xingqin City." Chen Qingzhi walked to the side of the sand table and explained, "The terrain near here is flat, and there are not many important places to defend, so this time it will be on the plain, with a dignified front
In the decisive battle, our army has 10,000 heavy infantry, 3,000 light cavalry, and 40,000 tribal coalition troops. ”
"In terms of military strength, our army is not weaker than the enemy, but in view of the current unclear attitude of the major tribes in the desert towards our dynasty, coupled with the fact that the main force of the traitor Shile has not moved, we have to be wary of the safety of Xingqin City, so we must leave the tribal alliance army and an infantry division
The town guards the city of Xingqin. "Chen Qingzhi has never trusted those tribal alliances, and he doesn't like to be stabbed in the back.
"General Zhou, Xingqin City will be handed over to you!" Li Ang, who had been silent, spoke, although he had not been with Zhou Panlong for a long time, but from Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min, he knew that this taciturn man was a really reliable defender general, although he was not in a hurry
war, but he is very steady in doing things, and he deserves to be as immobile as a mountain.
"The last general commands." Zhou Panlong calmly took this military order, of course he knew the significance of Xingqin City, this was the first stronghold of Great Qin in the desert region, and it was extremely important to the entire battle situation in the future, and it must not be lost.
"In this battle, we only have 7,000 infantry troops and 3,000 cavalry, I hope you will remember the undefeated and brave name of your ancestors, and you must not lose your prestige in our hands." Li Ang stood up, his eyes coldly fixed on the sand table where Chen Qingzhi had explained the terrain earlier.
"Whoa!" In the sound of the armor crashing, the officers responded with a bang, tapping the breastplate and responding to Li Ang.
The simple pre-war meeting was over, and only Li Ang and Chen Qingzhi and a few senior officers of the Dragoon Army were left in the big tent of the Chinese army, and they did not make any detailed arrangements just now, just because the next battle would be a wrestling on the plains, and the various departments of the desert would be revealed
In a battle to show the strength of Great Qin, there is nothing more powerful than attacking the crowd with a small number of people and annihilating the opponent in a dignified and upright manner.
"I will personally lead the dragoons, go and give those rebels a big gift first, and the infantry army will be handed over to Ziyun to take care of." Li Ang looked at Chen Qingzhi, he had his own understanding of cavalry, in his opinion, the most lethal weapon of cavalry was not anything else, but speed, yes
Speed to break all plans of the enemy.
"What the general means, I understand, but the general should be careful when he goes, those rebels have the help of my Han people, and their camps are not so easy to raid." Chen Qingzhi looked at Li Ang and nodded, "I will rush to the battlefield as soon as possible with Yongzeng Ran Min's words, if the general can."
It's best to lure the rebels into pursuit. After speaking, Chen Qingzhi indifferently withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
"This man deserves to be called a genius." Hearing Chen Qingzhi's last sentence, Ma Jun couldn't help but say. In fact, they had discussed some plans a long time ago, but they didn't expect this Chen Qingzhi to see through it just from Li Ang's words.
"Let's go." Leon glanced at the people in the tent. didn't say much, just took them out of the tent together, and went straight to the dragoons who were already ready
Columns and gone.
In the gale of hunting, the dragon cavalry army flag and the dragon flag of Daqin fluttered, and behind the marching cavalry was the smoke and dust raised high. Leon's ears were filled with the sound of the howling wind, and a fire burned in his heart. Passionate and uncontrollable.
For the dragoons, it was a matter of an hour for them to speed up their horses, but they did not advance at full speed, but before nightfall, they reached a place ten miles outside the camp of the Hu rebels, a place that could barely be called a hill
As soon as they arrived, the other two thousand-strong dragoons who had already fought with the Hu rebels had already come to converge, and those scouts were returning the news they had discovered in the past few days to Li Ang and the others.
"They marched extremely slowly. He only walks about 30 miles a day, and has been stationed here for nearly three days. The camp is built in a way that is not as casual as the horse thieves in the past. "The scouts are presenting the map of the horse thief camp drawn in the past few days to Leon.
"Gentleman's Battalion." Looking at the military camp with strict laws on the paper, Li Angdi's eyes showed a cold glow, this Han people-based think tank under Shi Le's command was named after the gentleman. But what he did was an out-and-out traitor.
"Big... Checkmate. Looking at Li Ang, whose face was suddenly cold, Murong Ke knew what he hated in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "These people are stationed here, it can be seen that they listened to the words of those national thieves and deliberately led our army to attack, presumably their real purpose is to let us divide our troops in order to fight for each other."
Break through, we have to raise our vigilance on the side of Xingqin City. ”
Listening to Murong Kedi's words, Ma Jun and the others all frowned. They knew he was right, but they didn't have a better choice. Xingqin City, the eastward land, a vast field, no danger to defend, 60,000 rebels came to attack, they had to divide their troops to meet the enemy, at this time he
There are only 13,000 people in the desert, and it is all thanks to the past power of Great Qin that they can shock those wall-headed grass tribes at both ends of the first rat, and they must not show weakness to the enemy, and this battle against 60,000 people cannot be avoided.
"General, what I'm most afraid of now is that if these 60,000 people just avoid fighting and drag our army, and Shi Le orders a partial division to entangle Xingqin City, and lead the rebels to attack from behind our army, so that our army will fall into the point of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly." Known as Murong
Murong Ke, who has been talented for nearly 50 years, finally showed his talent.
"After all, the number of rebels far exceeds that of our army, and Xingqin City has not been fully completed, if the barbarians in the annexed areas in the city are in chaos..."Hearing Murong Ke's worry, Li Ang frowned, ordered someone to take the map, and looked at the terrain around Xingqin City, the light in his eyes became colder and colder
In the end, he summoned the scout who gave the order, and immediately wrote a military order, ordering him to send it to Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min, who had already set off, "Although this battle is dangerous, the final victory will definitely be Daqin." ”
Hearing Li Ang's categorical voice, Ma Jun and the others were all in their hearts, and they were a little ashamed in their hearts, how could the Great Qin Legion in the past dynasties ever be afraid of the enemy, even if it was ten times more than themselves, even if they would die in battle, the soldiers of Great Qin would not be afraid, because they always were
I firmly believe that it will be Daqin who will win the final victory.
After 30 years of no war, should the domineering spirit passed down by the ancestors be thrown away on himself? Everyone tortured themselves in their hearts, and gradually the expressions on their faces relaxed, as if the 60,000 troops in the distance were just a group of chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack.
"Order the whole army to rest and assault the rebel camp before dawn." Leon passed the order, then fell silent, wiping his greatsword and spear. Seeing him wipe his armament, others were just like him, and the officers' calm emotions infected every soldier
Thinking of the enemies that the Great Qin Army encountered in the westward expedition one hundred and fifty years ago, they felt that the current situation was nothing remarkable, and the ancestors of that year were not in a strange battlefield, fighting with enemies several times their size, and finally won the victory.
It was late at night, and in the camp where Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min were stationed, looking at the sand table, Chen Qingzhi suddenly showed a sense of self-shame, "I actually missed Shi Le's people, he dared to send someone to Hu to help openly, what else can't be done?" ”
Hearing Chen Qingzhi's voice of self-injustice, Ran Min couldn't help but look at this always calm companion, to be honest, he had never seen him so annoyed. "Actual combat is really different from martial arts, my state of mind is not enough, not enough!" Chen Qingzhi stared at his death
With the sand table, the herald was suddenly summoned.
"My lord, General Li has a military order." Just when Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth, the scouts sent by Li Ang had already arrived, and at this time, the two armies were only seventy miles apart, and if they hurried away, it would only take more than an hour.
Hearing that there was a military order, Ran Min opened his eyes suddenly, in the days when he was competing with Li Ang in martial arts, he already knew that Li Ang was a very calm person, and under normal circumstances, he would not let any emergency situation appear.
"Did he think of it too?" Chen Qingzhi was also stunned, and said to himself, at this time, the scout had already presented Li Ang's military order to him, and after taking it, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but freeze his expression when he saw the simple military order.
"What's wrong!" Seeing Chen Qingzhi's sudden paleness, Ran Min couldn't help asking, he didn't know what could make Chen Qingzhi's face so weird.
"The general asked me to return to Xingqin City, and transferred all the hoplite crossbows to him, and he plans to use the dragoon army and your 3,000 infantry army to encircle and annihilate the 60,000 Hu rebels." Chen Qingzhi handed the general order to Ran Min and said in a deep voice, "This battle is not as easy to fight as we thought, you."
And the general may then be heavily damaged. ”
"Six thousand against sixty thousand, interesting." Ran Min looked at the military order, grinned, his ordinary face was a little more hideous, he remembered that three years ago he exterminated those native rebels in Borneo, at that time, he was also less to more, three thousand pairs
50,000, but in the end he won.
"Yongzeng, this place is no better than your previous Borneo, most of those natives are infantry troops." Looking at Ran Min, Chen Qingzhi knew what he was thinking, and said, "You and the general are facing 60,000 rebels on horseback, and they are not those weak natives. ”
"I know, but the stronger the opponent, isn't it more interesting?" Ran Min replied in a deep voice, the bloodthirsty light in his eyes made Chen Qingzhi feel shocked when he saw it, and just as he was distracted, Ran Min had already strode away from the military tent, leaving him alone in the sand table.
