Chapter 286: March
Gan Ning is known for his bravery in the army, and he must take the lead in every battle. 30,000 light cavalry was divided into several battalions by Gan Ning, crisscrossing the grasslands of western Liaoning, and within a few days, more than 10 small cavalry of Kebineng were exterminated, 3 or 4,000 cavalry were killed, and 2,000 war horses were captured.
This result was not a big victory, but it successfully broke the tactics of Kebineng and allowed the caravans of the various tribes of the steppe to be effectively protected.
After receiving the news, Kebi Neng had to suspend the harassment of the Daxianbei City area.
After confirming the news of Yang Xi's arrival in Daxianbei City, Li Ru suggested that he closely observe the movements of the Chenhe army in order to calm the brakes.
According to Li Ru's analysis, Yang Xi didn't stay long outside the Saiwai, because he had a huge stall in Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, how could he focus on the barren land outside the Saiwai.
But Li Ru's analysis was wrong this time, in the eyes of Li Ruke and others, Saiwai is indeed a barren land, but in Yang Xi's eyes, this is also a granary and a foundation.
Three days later, Su Li came to see Yang Xi. Su Li's choice was to join the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and he finally did not choose to stand on his own, but served as the head of the Construction Department of the Daxianbei City of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.
This is still influenced by ancient thoughts, there are officials to do, why do they want to do business, the status of officials and businessmen is very clear in ancient times, this kind of feudal thinking, it is difficult to break, it can only be done step by step.
When Su Li entered the Chamber of Commerce, Yang Xi began to integrate the entire eastern Xianbei.
There were 40,000 soldiers and horses from the Xianbei Yuan tribe in the east, plus 50,000 soldiers and horses from Chenhe, Yang Xi integrated them all and temporarily divided them into three legions, which were commanded by Jian Xian, You Tu, and Gan Ning.
The commander-in-chief of the three armies is the current commander of the Daxianbei City Theater.
After the integration was completed, Yang Xi immediately released the news that the Daxianbei City Theater sent two legions of 60,000 horses and horses to the west on the tenth day of April.
On the tenth day of the first month of April, 60,000 troops and horses were mighty, all dressed and sent out, Yang Xi sat in the war elephant battalion, and the Wujin BMW was taken care of by Tian Han and others in the escort camp. Next came 10,000 heavy cavalry, and finally, a solid battalion of 50,000 light cavalry and artillery.
Kebi was shocked to receive the news.
"Crazy! Yang Xi is crazy! Although Badun was killed and his soldiers and horses returned to Louban, I mobilized all the troops with all my strength, and I was still able to gather 80,000 iron horsemen, and he dared to openly attack! Mr. Li, do you think this Yang Xi is crazy! ”
Li Ru shook his head and said: "No, Yang Xi is not an impulsive person, he dares to send troops, he must be sure." Throughout Yang Xi's life and 20 years of battle, every time, he was well-planned, there were no omissions, and he defeated his opponent with strength in a dignified manner. Investigate again, adults need exact information, why Yang Xi is so confident and dares to attack with 60,000 soldiers and horses, even if he has heavy armored cavalry, that is not a reason! ”
Kebineng also felt that there was something wrong with it, the Sky Bombardment Cannon and the heavy armored cavalry were not enough to pose a threat to his royal court.
Without waiting for Kebi to send someone to re-probe, the previous spies sent back the news.
"Report! The latest news is delivered! ”
"Say!"
According to reliable sources, Yang Xi brought something called a war elephant from the south and established a war elephant battalion. It is said that this war elephant camp has 300 huge war elephants. ”
"War elephants? What is a war elephant? "Kobineng has never heard of war elephants.
"This thing is tall enough to reach one zhang and eight zhang, three or four zhang long, with a pair of fangs half a zhang long, and has two or three zhang long noses, which is extremely powerful."
Kebi couldn't imagine what this thing looked like, so he could only look at Li Ru.
Li Ru said: "This thing should be an elephant correctly, and the war elephant should be taken from the largest individual. It is said that this Yang Xi also has power overseas, ten, this thing is obtained from overseas, the elephant of the Han Dynasty is slightly smaller, and it is difficult to gather so many in number. If there are really 300 war elephants, adults have to be careful, this thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is said that knives and guns are invulnerable. ”
"Invulnerability? Isn't that invincible? Even Li Ru said this, Kebi was shocked.
"Don't worry, my lord, although this thing is strong, but after all, it is too tall and inconvenient to move, so Yang Xi wants to gallop on the grassland according to this thing, but he can't do it yet."
"Mobility issues? That's easy, everything has its weaknesses, and since you know its weaknesses, you just don't have to fight them head-on. Kebineng finally felt a little relieved, so he mobilized troops and horses, temporarily held the royal court, and waited for Yang Xi to attack.
Yang Xi traveled halfway, and there were already spies who came to report, and Yan Kebi was able to gather soldiers and horses, and sat in the royal court, so he raised the account to discuss the matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first step of the strategy has been achieved, and the next step is up to you."
Yang Xi's baton pointed in the direction of Yuyang in the south and said: "Tonight, Gan Ning will lead a light horse out of the city, especially Tu!" You lead the 30,000 light horsemen, bring some oil, go south after nightfall, join Gan Ning here, outflank the Louban on the left and right, break the Wuhuan, and get rid of the future trouble forever! ”
"Subordinates obey!" You Tu was excited to receive the order.
"Jane! You lead 20,000 light horsemen, and after nightfall, go southwest and ambush here, in case Lou Ban is defeated, and take refuge in Kebineng. All departments should pay attention to the fact that no matter what the war is, they are not allowed to stay if they succeed, and they must withdraw their troops to the east and return to the city, in case Kebi can discover the intention and attack our headquarters directly! ”
"Subordinates obey!" Jian Xi also led the generals of the department to prepare for the account.
It turned out that Yang Xi deliberately made a mighty move and led the troops to attack Kebineng, the purpose of which was to paralyze Kebineng and Lou Ban.
As long as Ke Bineng does not send troops to fight, and Lou Ban thinks that Yang Xi's purpose is to attack Ke Bineng, he will be able to implement his current strategy.
According to the news sent back by the special service battalion, Kebi Neng really guarded the royal court, while on Wuhuan's side, Lou Ban only concentrated troops and horses, just in case, but did not join forces with Kebi Neng to attack.
At night, You Tu and Jian Xi set off quietly, while Yang Xi camped on the spot and made a posture of rest.
A spy had already reported that Yang Xi was resting, and because of his heavy grain and grass, he was marching slowly, and it was expected to arrive at the royal court in about two days.
Kebi can ambush a group of soldiers and horses and Wang Tingnan for several miles, waiting for Yang Xi's arrival.
But it was said that Qin Qing had been depressed all day since he learned that Yang Xi was really Yang Xi, and at night, another person was depressed outside the tent, and suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "What? Our Qin Qing girl is angry? ”
"Where do you dare to be angry, you are a big man, I am a little underclass." Qin Qing didn't look back when he spoke, he just silently grabbed the grass on the ground and pinched the grass one by one with his fingernails.
Yang Xi sat down next to each other and sighed: "Many things in this world, telling the truth, may not be listened to, they are all preconceived. Okay, don't be angry, I didn't mean to lie to you, you know, my identity is important, if someone gets my detailed whereabouts, I don't know how many people will send killers to assassinate, because I never live by a specific rule. ”
"I wish you weren't Childe!" Qin Qing suddenly burst out.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing! It's not fun! Okay, tomorrow I have to hurry, kill the royal court, and go to bed early. Qin Qing seemed to have little interest, took a deep breath and stood up, ready to return to the camp.
"Sit down, chat, there is no battle tomorrow, everything is an illusion, tomorrow we will go back to the city."
"What? Return? Qin Qing sat down anew.
"Yes, everything was arranged by me, my first step strategy is not Kebineng, I have to eradicate all other variables first, and then concentrate on dealing with Kebineng." Yang Xi said that he had arranged himself, and Qin Qing felt that he had been tricked again.
"Do you have the truth, one action to deceive hundreds of thousands of people in the grassland." Qin Qing was speechless, and he was still excited to go on the expedition, thinking that Amon was going to show his might.
Seeing Qin Qing sit back in place, Yang Xi said seriously: "From beginning to end, I haven't lied to you, it's you who don't believe it." From the beginning to the end, I didn't say that I was going to attack Kebineng, it was you who thought so. Of course, even you think that we are going to attack Kebineng, what about Kebineng himself? ”
Qin Qing thought about it, he had never heard of the battle order to attack Kebineng, everything was just everyone's guess.
