Chapter 489 Killing for killing, the cunning wolf conspiracy to trap Sanjie
It is still easy to gather the cavalry of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment and the Pingming Kingdom, and make up these more than 900 war horses. www.biquge.info But if a large army is dispatched, each cavalry can only have one horse, and in order to maintain the horsepower, it is impossible to run long distances.
Now the elite cavalry of this garrison regiment of 300 people, one person and three cavalry, can greatly increase the speed of the march, and in this Xudu Province of Pingchuan, they can catch up with the Tuliao cavalry who come up and go like the wind.
Li Deyi and the three of them led this cavalry detachment of the elite garrison regiment, and the marching speed was extremely fast, flexible and mobile, which was suitable for fighting against the Tuliao horse bandits all over the south of Xudu Province.
Ashina Huo'er broke into pieces and scattered most of his cavalry and let them plunder on their own, intending to take advantage of the flexibility of the Tuliao cavalry to avoid fighting head-on with the main force of the Dingbei garrison, so that the battle could continue, or even drag on indefinitely.
As for how long it will be delayed, it depends on when Ashina Huo'er can come up with a way to defeat the Dingbei garrison head-on.
This tactic was also decided to be used by Ashina Huo'er after careful consideration.
After carefully observing the cavalry operations of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment several times, Ashina Huo'er found that the cavalry of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment was not strong in individual skills, but its collective combat ability was very strong.
A Tuliao cavalry can kill ten cavalry regiments in a row in a row. But the cavalry of ten garrison regiments gathered together was able to crush a hundred Tuliao cavalry.
Now Ashina Huo'er adopted this tactic can just avoid a large-scale frontal battle with the cavalry of the garrison regiment, so as to give full play to the individual advantages of the Tuliao cavalry, with their excellent riding skills and war horses, constantly intruding on the Dingbei garrison.
Ashina Huo'er pondered the cavalry of the garrison regiment thoroughly, and the tactics were shameless enough. It's a pity that what he met this time was a man who was even more good at bad water, and he risked his uncle.
The two sides fought for a month, Li Deyi led the elite cavalry of the 300 garrison regiment to fight hundreds of battles, large and small, sometimes even three or four units of Tuliao cavalry a day, and in a month, the garrison regiment killed nearly 10,000 enemies.
To the south of Xudu Province, the trees were full of man-high wooden stakes, each of which hung the corpse of a Tuliao cavalryman.
Behind a certain stake, sometimes there is a strong sentence engraved on it: one life is worth one life.
These Tuliao cavalry often brutally killed the people of Pingzhou for fun when they plundered. They disemboweled, dragged them to death with horses, gathered the people together, knocked them down and trampled them with horses, and burned them with fire. The fate of women is only worse, they are often ravaged to death, or after being ravaged, they are eaten.
Li Deyi's treatment of these Tuliao wolves was even more cruel than theirs. All the Tuliao cavalry caught by Li Deyi would first have their tongues cut out, their eyes gouged out, their ears cut off, their legs broken, hung on a stake, and left to die slowly in a painful wail.
Slowly, the Tuliao cavalry began to fear the terrible general who rode a mule. This terrible general on a mule was both powerful and cruel and cunning. When you meet him, you can't beat him, let alone run away. The dragon mule under his crotch was so strong that no war horse could run past it.
If you are caught by the mule rider, you can only commit suicide immediately, or you will die slowly and wailing in great pain.
The Tuliao cavalry thought they were wolves, and it was natural to slaughter the Pingzhou people who were as cowardly as sheep. Li Deyi is very supportive of the view that the Tuliao wolf is a beast, and it is only natural that he slaughtered the Tuliao cavalry.
From this point of view, Li Deyi is indeed very friendly, never criticizing other people's opinions, but supporting them with practical actions. The Tuliao wolf beast believes that it is natural for the strong to slaughter the weak and feed on the weak. Li De is a strong man, and according to this reason, he naturally slaughters the Tuliao wolf beast who is weaker than him.
Ashina Huo'er used a small force of Tuliao cavalry as bait several times, and the 20,000 golden wolf cavalry then ambushed, intending to trap Li Deyi and his elite cavalry team, but to no avail.
Li Deyi ate the bait every time, and then relied on the unrivaled combat power of the Humvee to lead the cavalry of the elite garrison under his command to fight his way out of the encirclement.
Ashina Huo'er didn't dare to chase too far, because he was afraid of encountering an ambush by the elite cavalry of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment.
After more than a month of fighting between the two sides on the vast plains south of Xudu Province, Ashina Huo'er had to stop this tactic and regain his cavalry.
Nearly 10,000 cavalry were killed in just one month, and if he continued to fight like this, it wouldn't be long before he became the commander of the light pole, officially returned to the emperor's side, and enjoyed the terrifying punishment of trampling ten thousand horses.
Ashina Huo'er regrouped his forces and began to think of new ways to deal with the Dingbei garrison.
But this time, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment will not give him any more chances, and Commander Xiao Liu has already figured out the marching rules of Ashina Huo'er.
Ashina Huo'er was mainly a cavalryman, with only a small number of infantry soldiers, who were used by him as a kneeling slave. Since there are many cavalry, there are naturally more war horses.
It's only April now, and a large area of Xudu Province is still withered and yellow, and the new green grass has not grown much. The main food of the Tuliao war horses is still the reserve of forage and beans, plus a small amount of grain. In this way, the Tuliao war horse must be close to a large water source in order to facilitate drinking water. Because from these dry foods, the horses cannot absorb enough water.
There is only one water source in Xudu Province that can afford to supply such a large number of war horses with drinking water, and that is the Meng River.
By sorting out the intelligence of the past month, Commander Xiao Liu found that the main march route of Ashina Huo'er had always wandered on both sides of the Meng River.
As Ashina Huo'er began to recall the scattered cavalry, Li Deyi also hurried to return to the camp with the elite cavalry to resupply and replace the horses.
After Li Deyi came back, Commander Xiao Liu called him, as well as Li Wudi and Chang Mao, and the four of them discussed together how to catch the cunning Ashina Huo'er and annihilate his main force in one fell swoop.
The four of them discussed for a long time and discussed several methods, but after a lot of deduction on the sand table, it was difficult to work in the end.
The vicious wolf Ashina Huo'er is too cunning, and he is extremely experienced in battle, and if he finds the slightest disturbance, he will immediately flee far away. He would rather be scolded by his clansmen than embarrassed, and he would never suffer easily.
In the end, there was often a bad water, and after listening, Xiao Liu, the head of the regiment, nodded, Li Deyi also nodded, and even Li Wudi nodded in agreement.
Then, Commander Xiao Liu gave full play to the ideas that he often came up with, and a huge battle plan was released.
Three days later, Li Deyi, Li Wuving, and Li Changmao, a group of three people, with a team of 300 elite garrison cavalry, came out again to sweep the Tuliao cavalry.
They swept along the Meng River, sweeping away all the Tuliao cavalry they encountered along the way. Gradually, Li Deyi's cavalry broke away from the large army stationed in Xingqing Mansion and went farther and farther.
But this time they seemed to be carried away by one victory after another, and continued to sweep the Tuliao cavalry along the Meng River non-stop.
On both sides of the Meng River, countless wooden stakes were gradually inserted, and the Tuliao cavalry sticks were hung on them.
The commander of the Tuliao Thousand Commanders couldn't help but ask Ashina Huo'er for battle, asking for an all-out attack to kill this villain who insulted the brave warriors of the Tuliao tribe.
As the corpses of the Tuliao cavalry on both sides of the Meng River hung more and more, the call for war around Ashina Huo'er became higher and higher. In the end, even the captive army came to ask for battle, demanding that troops be sent to kill this bold deputy regimental commander and wash away the insults suffered by the steppe warriors.
In the end, Ashina Huo'er was forced to send the best scouts to investigate the intelligence of this elite cavalry in detail.
The news came back to him that he was quite excited, and because of the continuous fighting, there were already many wounded and lame soldiers among this elite cavalry.
However, Ashina Huo'er, the cunning and fierce wolf, was still very cautious, and did not rush to dispatch a large army, but continued to send more "scattered" cavalry to lure the cavalry of this elite garrison regiment to continue to pursue north.
Ashina Huo'er kept sending "scattered" cavalry, and little by little the elite cavalry detachment led by the deputy commander of the garrison regiment was seduced to the north.
Finally, the deputy commander on the mule was lured far enough, and through the constant attrition of the battle, the elite cavalry squad never had enough time to rest.
This elite cavalry squad was already showing fatigue, and nearly half of the wounded soldiers in the team were already in the ranks.
The young deputy commander of the mule, who was young after all, seemed to have been carried away by the successive victories, and in this case, regardless of the bad condition of his cavalry, still wanted to continue to pursue the Tuliao cavalry along the banks of the Meng River.
Ashina Huo'er sent a large number of scouts and repeatedly confirmed that the main force of the Dingbei garrison was still stationed in Xingqing Mansion at this time.
Subsequently, he began to mobilize the main force of soldiers and horses, and gathered all the remaining more than 20,000 golden wolf cavalry in his hands.
Li Deyi, Li Wuving, Chang Mao, and the rest of the elite cavalry, before they could react, they were surrounded by the surging Tuliao cavalry.
This time, in order to prevent the deputy commander who was riding a mule from escaping, Ashina Huo'er even surrounded both sides of the Meng River.
After Ashina Huo'er surrounded the deputy commander of the mule, he did not rush to kill the killer, but found a soldier who had collided with the order and asked him to persuade him to surrender. said that as long as he was willing to cut off his nose and ears and bow down to the Tuliao Emperor, he would surround Li Deyi without dying.
Of course, Ashina Huo'er knew that the deputy commander would not surrender, and he just took the opportunity to humiliate him in this way, and then used a large army to trap the deputy commander to death, so as to vent his hatred.
Li Deyi cut off one of the ears of the soldier who came to persuade him to surrender, and then found a set of clothes of a Tuliao woman out of nowhere and asked him to wear them back.
When Ashina Huo'er saw this scene, he immediately flew into a rage, and immediately ordered the army to attack, and he was sure to kill the deputy commander of the abominable garrison.
Li Deyi was not in a hurry, and rushed into battle with Li Wushu and Chang Mao in person. Relying on the Humvee to break through the Tuliao cavalry formation, the three of them rushed directly in. After a day of fierce fighting, the three of them fought together, galloped vertically and horizontally, invincible, and fought hard to kill more than 3,000 Tuliao cavalry.
On this day of fierce fighting, the three of them were bloodied all over their bodies, and even the mounts under their crotches were stained with blood. Chang risked the horse's physical strength, and couldn't stand such a long time of fierce fighting, and there were a few times along the way, Chang risked to directly grab the Tuliao war horse to ride.
The sun had set and it was already dark. Ashina Huo'er had to temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for tomorrow to fight again. He ordered the army to be deployed on the spot, and surrounded the elite cavalry of this garrison regiment on the bank of the Meng River.
"This time, look where you're going!" At the moment when the last glimmer of light faded, Ashina Huo'er gave the mule one last last look.
There are tens of thousands of Tuliao cavalry in front, and behind them is the Menghe River, and there are Tuliao cavalry on the other side of the river. This time, Li Deyi was really surrounded to death, and it was difficult to fly. Of course, he can rush out with a Humvee, but the elite cavalry of the garrison regiment around him may have to stay here.
At night, the three of them sat around the campfire, munching on roast horse meat, but they were silent and did not speak. It seems that the three of them also know that the situation is not right, or that it has reached the most critical moment.
Ashina Huo'er looked at the three figures around the campfire close at hand, squinting his eyes and hating himself.
In the middle of the night, Li Deyi suddenly opened his eyes, woke up Chang Mao, and said in a low voice: "It's time for us to act!" (To be continued.) )
