Chapter 470: Destroying the Qiang Ride
A p
The Hexi Army successfully gained a foothold in Weinan, allowing the Later Qin to lose the Weishui natural danger.
In the city, the Later Qin generals were all depressed and disappointed in the failure to intercept the Hexi army to cross the river.
But Yao Shuode is very aware of how big the gap between the strength of the enemy and us is, and the failure of the interception plan is also expected.
Not only did he not blame the generals, but he was full of praise for the achievements of thousands of enemies.
After the generals' emotions gradually calmed down, he knocked on the ground and asked, "How should our army break the enemy next?" ”
No one answered, everyone seemed to be thinking, and they all fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yao Shuode couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Could it be that you have lost the belief in victory? ”
Without waiting for the generals to speak, he said to himself, "Yes! Today, I, Daqin, do think that the general trend has gone. ”
"Now the Hexi soldiers are attacking Weinan by way, and all the places have been lost, and it won't be long before Chang'an will fall."
"But are you really willing? Since then, he has given up his Qiang identity and been forced to live as a Han Chinese? ”
Facing Yao Shuode's questioning, someone said in a muffled voice: "But ...... But now that Hexi is strong, how can we defeat them? ”
Yao Shuode narrowed his eyes and said confidently: "Hehe, no! We still have a chance to turn the tables around. ”
"What!?"
The generals were full of consternation, completely unable to understand where Yao Shuode got his confidence.
Yao Shuode immediately got up, pointed to the map and analyzed: "If the Hexi army gathers in one place, the old man is really helpless. ”
"But right now, Wei Shuo has divided the army under his command into three, which invisibly gives the old man a chance to raid."
"Could it be that my uncle and grandfather plan to break them all?"
"Individually broken? No, we don't have that strength. ”
He paced a few steps behind his back, and said with a long sigh: "Although Yao Xun's words are in line with the art of war, they are out of place at the moment. ”
"We only have one chance, and we must hit it with one blow, otherwise both sides of the Weishui River will fall into the hands of Hexi."
The generals were shocked and said: "Could it be that the king wants to use cavalry to risk a sneak attack on the Hexi Central Army?" ”
Yao Shuode crossed his arms, and his eyebrows lightly raised: "Breaking the cauldron and winning in danger, this is our only chance." ”
"This strategy is dangerous, leaving no way back, a little carelessness will be a catastrophe, not the brave and can't do it!"
"Now the Hexi Army has repeatedly gained the upper hand, and successfully crossed the Weishui, and now the troops are sharp and their morale is flourishing."
"That Wei Shuo never thought that you and I would dare to take the initiative to attack at this time, let alone sneak attack its main force."
He looked at the generals, his eyes slid over them one by one, and his voice was calm and powerful.
"The order is down, Yao Xun stays to defend the city, and the old man personally leads the iron cavalry to attack."
"You must remember: if you don't succeed in this battle, you will become a benevolent!"
……
When the eastern and western armies swept through all parts of Weinan, the main force of the Chinese army did not blindly attack after crossing the river.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals are divided into two sides, and a geographical map of the mountains and rivers in Guanzhong is hung on the wall.
Mountains and rivers are like spider silk, weaving a large web on the map, covering the city like a chess piece.
Wei Shuo lightly knocked on the table, glanced at the generals and said, "Just now the scout came to report, Yao Shuode has handed over the overlord city to Yao Xun to guard. ”
"He himself took 30,000 iron horsemen with him, and he left the city a few days ago."
"Guess where he will go next?"
At present, the 30,000 Qiang cavalry has become Wei Shuo's henchmen, and if he does not eliminate them, he will never dare to let go and attack Chang'an.
He didn't want to be attacked by the Qiang Cavalry again, and the last time he was able to turn the tide thanks to Kuang'en, next time he wouldn't be so lucky.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Shuo couldn't help laughing and said, "Why don't you speak?" Could it be that Yao Shuode was frightened? ”
At this time, Tan Daoji looked left and right, and arched his hand: "Dadu Protection, the last general thinks that Yao Shuode is very likely to take a risk." ”
In fact, as early as the beginning of crossing the river, Tan Daoji had secretly thought about how Yao Shuode could use the Qiang ride in his hands.
The last time he was in the meeting, because the time was not ripe and there were many concerns, he hesitated for a moment and did not say anything.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Today, our army is marching step by step, and the Later Qin forces are constantly compressing in the direction of Chang'an and Bacheng."
"As the wiggle room gets smaller and smaller, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for Hu Qi to play."
"Yao Shuode led the cavalry to disappear, and he must be unwilling to give up."
"And now Hexi is powerful, and if it wants to survive to the death, the only way to win is to win by surprise."
"Maybe he has already sent someone to monitor our army's every move, and once a flaw is revealed, he will definitely rush forward desperately."
Wei Shuo paced a few steps with his back hand, thought for a few moments, and bowed his head slightly.
"What Dao Ji said is very reasonable"
"I wonder if you have a countermeasure to lure this group of Hu Qi out?"
"My lord, if you want to lure Yao Shuode into being fooled, you must make a clever layout."
"What's the trick?"
"It has to be like this, this way."
"Another...... In addition, the last general needs to be given command of the army. ”
"Hey! Why do you ask for it?! Wei Shuo waved his hand magnificently.
"Come on, pass on the order of the generals: the officers and men of the three armies are temporarily under the orders of Daoji, and those who dare not comply will be punished by military law."
When the Hexi Army successfully set up camp in Weinan, how to gather and annihilate the 30,000 threatening and erratic Hu cavalry became a thorny problem at hand.
Wei Shuo knew that the battle of wits between the two armies in front of the battle was not his own strength, so he used his military power to the fullest.
This scheming historical general will deal with Yao Shuode, a famous Qiang general.
Of course, if Tan Daoji's strategy is not used, the Hexi Army will risk waving troops to besiege Chang'an, and it is estimated that Yao Shuode can be forced to take the initiative to appear.
However, it is too risky, and it will cost a lot of troops and will take too long.
At present, the situation in Hebei and Jiangdong is not good, and Wei Shuo has no time to keep going with Yao Shuode, so he must fight quickly.
……
Tan Daoji is really powerful, and after getting the command of the army, he quickly made a move.
He first ordered the main force of the army to camp near Chang'an, and put on a posture of attacking Chang'an.
Then they did not move and began to build, and as a result, camps rose one after another.
In just a few days, the Hexi army set up more than ten camps one after another on the periphery of Chang'an.
This...... How many soldiers are there in this Chinese army battalion?! Isn't dividing troops and setting up camps looking for death?
In the eyes of the generals in Hexi, Tan Daoji's move clearly sent the fighter plane to the enemy.
Some people ran to Wei Shuo and gave him advice with concern for the country and the people.
said that Tan Daoji was young and reckless, and would bury tens of thousands of Chinese troops, and strongly asked Wei Shuo to take back the military power in Tan Daoji's hands.
But Wei Shuo was full of confidence in Tan Daoji and was unmoved.
Even in order to strengthen the authority of Tan Daoji, he also gave the other party a portable sword, granting him the right to cut first and then play.
In this way, the generals were awe-inspiring, and they no longer dared to criticize Tan Daoji's deployment of troops.
At the same time, Yao Shuode was also secretly monitoring the Hexi Army, waiting for the other party to reveal his flaws.
As long as the Hexi army flashed even the slightest gap, he would lead his Qiang cavalry to pounce unceremoniously.
On this day, Yao Shuode finally waited for the news he wanted: the Hexi Army changed the turtle flow tactics of concentrating in one place in the past, and began to divide troops to surround Chang'an.
In his opinion, the Hexi Army was divided into more than ten places, and there must be weak points among them, and even the troops were weak everywhere.
In other words, the time has come to storm the Hexi Army!
So which military camp is Yao Shuode's target? It must undoubtedly be the most central and largest one.
Yao Shuode judged that it should be the command center of the Hexi Army, that is, the place where Wei Shuo himself stayed.
Attacking cities may not be the strength of the Qiang cavalry, but night raids are their forte.
Let Wei Shuo become a prisoner in his sleep! Thinking about this situation made Yao Shuode excited.
finally waited for a good opportunity to break the enemy, and finally made Yao Shuode give up his original caution and send all the cavalry in a desperate manner.
God also seemed to take special care of the Qiang people, and that night the north wind suddenly rose, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the dark clouds covered the moon.
All the Qiang people believed that in such bad weather, the Hexi army must have taken refuge in tents early.
Even the sentinels were not as alert as usual, and it was time for the Qiang cavalry to attack at night.
In the middle of the night, it was dark and cold around, and the Qiang cavalry quietly approached the Hexi Army camp.
With Yao Shuode's order, it was as if a tornado suddenly blew up, and the mountains poured into the Hexi military camp like a tsunami, and the target was Wei Shuo himself!
However, when the Qiang people rushed into the Hexi military camp with excitement, they were stunned to find that the camp was brightly lit, but there was not a single soldier in sight.
Oops, fooled! Yao Shuode secretly screamed that it was not good, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, but unfortunately it was too late.
But seeing the shouts around him, rockets flying in the sky, and the flammable materials left in advance, along with the military tents and wooden villages, were ignited.
This was deliberately done by the Hexi army, of course, because they did not want the Qin army to defend the village, so they did not hesitate to set fire to their own camp.
In the night, Yao Shuode could only feel that there were countless Hexi troops, almost surrounded by Qiang cavalry on all sides.
War drums and horns sounded, and the Hexi army released deadly crossbow arrows in the dark, killing the Qiang riders and neighing horses.
Now the Hulu have long been thinking about a sneak attack, and they just want to fight their way out of the encirclement.
It's a pity that the Hexi army finally surrounded the Qiang cavalry, how could they be allowed to escape easily?
In a short time, except for a few elites, the rest of the Qiang cavalry had already collapsed.
And those elites have been in danger with Yao Shuode many times, even at this point today, they still remain calm.
They didn't break through, they didn't seek battle, tightened their horses and waited for the commander Yao Shuode to give the order.
Looking at the Qiang cavalry that was already in a mess, Yao Shuode felt bitter in his heart: It's over, it's over, it's all over!
When the ambush was everywhere, Yao Shuode knew that the general trend was gone.
Looking at the more than 1,000 elites around him, Yao Shuode gritted his teeth and said: Come with me.
He took the lead, stabbing to the east, and more than a thousand elite horsemen escorted the main general desperately forward, trying to fight a bloody way.
Suddenly, there was a shouting and killing, the drums in the front and back and left and right were loud, and the shouting and killing sound shook the sky, and I don't know how many Zhou troops surrounded and killed them from all directions.
In an instant, 10,000 arrows were fired, and the Qiang cavalry fell down one by one, Yao Shuode was caught off guard, hit several arrows in a row, and turned over and fell off the horse with a scream.
