Chapter 206: Heaven and Earth Synergy (5)

At first hearing his senior brother's voice, Li Deyi's curiosity suddenly came up. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Senior brother, what have you done?" Do you look like that? Tell me about it. Li Deyi asked curiously.

Who knows that the head of Xiao Liu shook his head again and again: "I can't say it now, this matter is very important, and the less people know, the better." ”

"Can't even tell me?" Li Deyi was a little puzzled.

"I can't." Head Xiao Liu answered categorically.

Hearing that the senior brother was so resolute, Li Deyi didn't ask any more questions, turned his head and left.

Li Deyi originally stepped out of the military tent door with one foot, but suddenly withdrew again, hurriedly approached the side of Xiao Liu, and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, are you optimistic about which daughter of the Li family again?" ”

"Brewing fart! Now that I am in love with your sister-in-law, where am I optimistic about the daughter of the Li family? Besides, he doesn't have a daughter in his family. "Captain Xiao Liu was furious, and when he raised his hand, he gave Li De a hard slap in the head." Get out! If you dare to mess around again, I will deal with you by military law! "Commander Xiao Liu was also confused, how could military law be so casual.

Li Deyi covered the bag on his head, his face was full of doubts, and he walked out of his senior brother's tent.

Next, the first thing the garrison regiment had to do was to guard the camp gate to prevent the Tuliao people from retaliating. At the same time, sentry spies were widely dispatched to monitor the movements of the Tuliao people in the west of Luodu.

This rain is strange to say, and it never stops. This rain is the last rain before the start of winter this year, and it is the last rain in autumn. A few days ago, the head of Xiao Liu discussed with his junior brother about the weather near Luodu, saying that he had asked someone to inquire about it, and for more than ten years, every autumn when the last rain came, it would rain in Luodu City for five or six days in a row, and it was like this every year.

As a general, when you know astronomy, know geography, and take precautions. Li Deyi was in the Dingbei garrison regiment and was very busy every day. Commander Xiao Liu is also busy, including collecting astronomical and geographical information about nearby cities. Among them, astronomy, rain, snow, and wind, these three things will affect the march and battle, and they must be mastered. If one is not careful and chooses to cross the river during the rainy season, the army will be stopped by the river that swells during the rainy season. If you block these days, you will probably lose your fighter planes and lead to the defeat of the entire battle.

If conditions permit, the commander-in-chief of an army should collect all kinds of intelligence on strategic points in advance, and if necessary, even send secret agents one or two years in advance to find out the topography of the future combat site, the local hydrometeorology, and so on. In the past two years, Old Medical Officer Sun has been doing these things in secret, and Captain Xiao Liu has naturally helped a lot. As for Li Deyi, Old Medical Officer Sun didn't tell him for the time being, because his original qi cultivation was not in the Juwu Tong realm, and he was afraid that he would be distracted and affect the progress of his original qi cultivation.

The rain became heavier and heavier, day and night, but it was not light at all, and on the third day, the raindrops were so dense that even the view was obscured. On this day, taking advantage of the heavy rain to obscure his vision, Li Deyi personally sent Li Wudi and Li Shiluan back to Luodu City.

Although it was difficult to walk all the way because of the heavy rain, it was impossible for the Tuliao cavalry to dispatch with such heavy rain. On rainy days, the bowstring gets damp and can't shoot arrows. Without arrows, the power of the Tuliao cavalry will be greatly reduced. Choosing to travel on rainy days, although it is a little troublesome to rush, it is much safer.

All the way to send Li Wudi to the city of Luodu, Li Shiluan personally stepped forward, gave the password, and slowly put down the hanging basket at the head of the city. Li De opened his mouth and said: "His second brother, after you go back, train your soldiers well, it's really not a good look, you see that the Tuliao people will fight." It's just blind to the good armor on their bodies and the good family stuff in their hands. ”

If this was said by another person, Li Shiluan would argue with him on the spot, but as soon as Li De said it, Li Shiluan really didn't have any temper. He stayed in the Dingbei Garrison Regiment for three days, and he also knew that Li Deyi was not looking at his young age, but he was also the deputy commander of the garrison regiment, commanding all the 4,000 elite cavalry of the garrison regiment, if it was really calculated according to the military rank, he would be three levels higher than himself.

Besides, the battle record of the light wheel, the Tuliao cavalry ambushed and killed by the garrison regiment in one battle, killed more than the Li family who defended the city for three months. In that battle a few days ago, the garrison regiment fought twice as much as its own Tuliao cavalry, but it did not fall behind at all, and seriously injured the commander of the Tuliao West Route Army, Ashina Heibei, not to mention, he even took advantage of the situation to defeat the Tuliao cavalry, killing nearly 10,000 enemies in one battle. This record, looking at the world, is also unique.

In the face of such a strong army, the Li family's little family foundation is really nothing. Li Shiluan nodded with a wry smile, didn't say anything, and walked into the hanging basket. This hanging basket is small, and only one person can be hung up at a time, and Li Wushu is waiting under the city.

Li De glanced at the fact that there was no one around, lowered his voice and said, "In the past two days, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this is wrong. At the beginning, your Li family sent people out to attack the stone cannons of the Tuliao people, who sent you out? Your dad? ”

Li Wudi shook his head and said, "Voluntary." ”

Li De glared at each other, and said with some anger: "Are you a biao?" With the soldiers and horses of your Li family, you dare to fight against the Tuliao people? I really don't know how thick the sky is. If I hadn't arrived in time that day, you would have drowned in the Tuliao cavalry. ”

"I tell you, if you have to fight with the Tuliao cavalry in the future, be more careful. Their 'exploding arrows' are no joke. If it is not necessary, you should try to avoid engaging the Tuliao cavalry head-on in the future, use your brains more, and engage in some surprise attacks. Give full play to your strengths, your strength and skills, run with one shot, where can the Tuliao people stop you......" Li Deyi couldn't help but start nagging again.

After chattering for a while, Li Deyi suddenly stopped. "Who in your family proposed a raid to take out the stone cannon?" Li Deyi asked. Li Wudi didn't think much about it, and opened his mouth and said, "My father." "Then who made your second brother fight?" Li Deyi continued to ask.

"Voluntary."

"That's not right! Your family has always paid attention to seniority, which is a common problem of large families. According to the big and small rounds, it should be your eldest brother who will fight, how can it be your second brother's turn? Li Deyi grasped the crux of the matter and asked. Li Wudi hesitated a little this time, held back for a long time, and said, "Big brother......"

"You mean!"

"He's not going."

"Well, I'll tell you. It seems that your family doesn't stop much, and there is a mess of things. If you can't stay at home in the future, come here, you can go into battle and fight enough, don't you listen?! ”

Li Wudi didn't squeak, just stood there and listened quietly until the hanging basket squeaked and put it down again. Li Wushu walked up to the hanging basket and waved his hand to Li De.

Li Deyi finally shouted: "After you go home, don't get involved in the of your eldest brother and second brother!" If it's wrong, ask someone to send me a message, and I'll help you! ”

As Li Wuyi rose higher and higher, the heavy rain gradually obscured Li Deyi's vision, and waved his hand at Li Wuyi, who gradually disappeared into the city, Li Deyi turned his mule head and hurried back to the camp.

After Li Shiluan returned, he immediately reported to Li Sinai the news that the Tuliao cavalry was defeated by the Dingbei garrison regiment. After Li Sinai heard this, an old face that hadn't shown a smile for several months finally smiled, stroked his hands and laughed: "Good fight!" ”

Next to him, Li Xinxiao heard that the Dingbei Garrison had killed and injured nearly 10,000 Tuliao cavalry in a battle, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart. After a while, he was finally blinded by this fire of jealousy, lost his basic judgment ability, and began to ponder in his heart: "The Dingbei garrison regiment is only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it can defeat twice the Tuliao cavalry. It seems that the strength of the Tuliao people is nothing more than that, and Dad really shouldn't be afraid of the Tuliao people like tigers. ”

Child, your father is not afraid of the Tuliao people, but he is old and sophisticated, and he knows that the catties and catties of his own soldiers and horses are indeed not as good as the Tuliao cavalry. Only then did his best to avoid field battles, blindly defending the city, relying on high walls and deep fortresses, and enriching grain and grass, to fight a war of attrition with the Tuliao people.

But it's no wonder that people are like this when they are young, and when they see that others are capable and have done something big, they are inevitably unconvinced, and if they are a little worse, they become jealous. Even some people, fifty or sixty years old, seventy or eighty years old, still can't control the fire of jealousy burning in their hearts, and they open their mouths to say: "His horse's xxx, when he was young, was not that bear-like, but he didn't expect it to become a piece of material later." "It's fun to look at him like that, isn't it?

Thinking about it in his heart, Li Xinxiao immediately spoke: "Father, it seems that the strength of the Tuliao people is no more than that, and they have a new big defeat, and their morale is low. I think we should take advantage of the situation to attack, defeat the Tuliao people in one fell swoop, and completely relieve the siege of Luodu. After all, Li Sinai was old, not so young and vigorous, and after listening to his eldest son's impassioned words, he just nodded lightly and did not agree immediately.

Seeing that his father did not agree, Li Xinxiao took a few steps forward and strongly persuaded: "Father, tomorrow I am willing to personally lead the Flying Tiger Battalion and act as a pioneer for the Li family." The Tuliao people are newly defeated and their morale is low, and this is the best time for us to defeat them in one fell swoop. There is no time to lose. Father, decide! ”

Li Sinai actually had some intention in his heart, and he also agreed with his eldest son's words. After all, sons are like fathers, and his eldest son is this virtue, which is naturally inherited from Li Si Nai. Li Sinai also felt that the Dingbei garrison could defeat the Tuliao cavalry, and his Li family's soldiers and horses were well-equipped, so they could naturally do it.

See, people are sometimes so blind. Obviously, a few days ago, the second brother Li Shiluan's elite black-armored long knife battalion was almost wiped out, and at this moment, the two of them seemed to have completely forgotten about it. To put it bluntly, he was burned by the flames of jealousy, and he didn't know it. I think I've analyzed it very well, and there are a lot of reasons, which sounds very reasonable, but it's not like that at all.

After two days, Li Si Nai finally couldn't withstand the repeated persuasion of his eldest son and agreed to his request to send troops. and sent 15,000 elite foot soldiers and 5,000 elite cavalry to suppress the eldest son's Flying Tiger battalion. Li Xinxiao took 20,000 soldiers and horses from his Flying Tiger Battalion, as well as 20,000 elites given by his father, and rushed all the way to the Tuliao Battalion to kill him.

Li Shiluan shirked his injuries, and the black-armored long knife battalion under his command was completely wiped out, so he didn't get involved in this battle. Li Wuyi had just received Li Deyi's advice, although he was itching in his heart to go into battle to kill the enemy, he still couldn't help but not get involved. The third child has always been the first to look forward to the eldest brother, so he naturally followed the army to fight together.

The outcome of this battle is really miserable. The commander of the Tuliao West Route Army, Ashina Blackback, who had just woken up from his sickbed, supported his sick body and personally rode a horse to command the Tuliao cavalry to fight. The morale of the Tuliao cavalry was suddenly greatly boosted, and the remaining more than 40,000 Tuliao cavalry, under the leadership of the commander, skillfully sent 10,000 cavalry to attack the Li family's 40,000 army from the side, and cut off the Li family's soldiers and horses.

Then, the Tuliao people took out all the "explosive arrows" at one time and carried out a full-coverage and indiscriminate attack on Li Xinxiao's Chinese army. After three rounds of "exploding arrows", the superb riding skills of the Tuliao cavalry once again played an unimaginable role, and more than 30,000 cavalry in front of them were actually on the high-speed charging road, and suddenly the soldiers were divided into three groups, from three different directions, launched an unstoppable charge against the Li family's soldiers and horses, and directly rushed the Li family's army that was blinded by the "explosive arrows".

After the defeat of the Chinese army, Li Xinxiao escaped from the encirclement alone under the desperate cover of more than a dozen personal guards, fled back to the city of Luodu in embarrassment, and was hung into the city by a hanging basket alone. The soldiers and horses he brought out had no command, they could only be meat on the board of the Tuliao cavalry, and it didn't take long for the rear army to be completely defeated. The Tuliao people were extremely cruel this time, they chased and slashed the rout of the Li family, leaving not a single prisoner, and the blood of 40,000 Li family soldiers dyed the entire turbid river red, and even the river water in the downstream Luodu City was dyed blood red.

After Li Xinxiao fled back to Luodu City in embarrassment, he simply hid in his room and didn't see anyone who came. In fact, in this battle, he still killed and injured a lot of Tuliao cavalry, and his father Li Si was watching from the city, at least more than 5,000 Tuliao cavalry were killed.

Li Sinai saw clearly in the city that his eldest son, although he had to learn the art of war and strategy from an early age, but in fact, when he was in battle, he would only stick to the stubborn routine, and according to what the military book said, he would fight a tough battle, fight a dumb battle, and would not adapt at all. In fact, speaking of this defeat, Li Xinxiao did not make any big mistakes in commanding the battle, but he was not flexible enough.

Who would have expected that in this battle, the Tuliao people would suddenly use so many "explosive arrows". Who would have expected that the cavalry of the Tuliao cavalry would be so superb that in the high-speed charge, they would be able to divide into three units and charge separately. This defeat is really not because Li Xinxiao is incompetent, but because the Tuliao cavalry is too strong. Li Sinai sighed again and again at the head of the city.

Before deciding to fight, Li Sinai thought in his heart that the morale of the Tuliao cavalry was low, and the Li family would definitely win this battle. Now that they have failed, they immediately find out the inevitable reasons for all kinds of failures.

A comparison before and after, suddenly it is ridiculous. Pingzhou Taizu said in the art of war, "First is invincible, so that the enemy can be defeated." Li Sinai obviously completely forgot this sentence, but he just analyzed it indiscriminately with his own intentions.

The Li family was defeated this time, and the tide of the battle, which had been reversed, fell into its favor again.
