Chapter 514: At the last moment, the cunning wolf made a quick decision

Seeing that the junior brother was actually touching his chin and pretending to be old, Xiao Liu slapped him directly on the head, and said angrily: "What are you touching your chin, do you have a beard there?" What's it packed in? I don't learn well at a young age. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Touching his head with his hand, Li Deyi smiled and said, "Senior brother, I thought about it for a while just now, and I felt that Ashina Huo'er should attack the soldiers and horses of the Pingming Kingdom in the east. At this time, presumably the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Pingming Kingdom had already begun to attack Shoucheng. The terrain of Nashou Castle is surrounded by mountains, and the castle is located in a flat basin in the middle. If the Tuliao cavalry went to raid this time, they could launch a charge from a high position, which was very advantageous. At this time, the Tairang Kingdom was also attacking the Daimyo Mansion in the west. The city of the Daimyo Mansion fell on a hill, and the terrain was very rugged, which was not conducive to the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty galloping and killing, and Ashina Huo'er would not choose to attack the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom in the west. ”

"You're right, it's possible. From the topography analysis, the terrain around Shoucheng is the most favorable for the Tuliao cavalry. But Ashina Huo'er is not an ordinary young man who has just entered the battle, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is familiar with the trick of fiction and reality. Now let's analyze the topography and judge according to common sense that Ashina Huo'er will lead part of the cavalry to raid the soldiers and horses of the Pingming Kingdom. I concluded that Ashina Huo'er would inevitably do the opposite, going to the western Daimyo Mansion to raid the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom. "Captain Xiao Liu made a judgment based on Ashina Huo'er's cunning and changeable habits.

"Huh? This Ashina Huo'er still wants to shake us a little? Li Deyi was surprised.

"Not bad. Besides, the terrain around Nashou City, although it is in a flat basin, it is very conducive to the Tuliao cavalry galloping, but it is surrounded by mountains, and there are only three ways out. If you bring cavalry to support you, you are likely to take advantage of this terrain to block all the Tuliao cavalry and completely annihilate them. Ashina Huo'er would not risk such total annihilation. Head Xiao Liu made the final judgment.

Commander Xiao Liu immediately shouted an order to his junior brother: "You immediately lead our elite cavalry to the western Daimyo Mansion to help Pharmacist Li!" ”

"Order! I'll go now. Li De shouted, turned around to catch up with Li Wuving, and led his own cavalry directly out of the battlefield and galloped to the west.

Li Deyi took Li Invincible, Chang Mao, and a group of elite cavalry of the garrison regiment to the west to aid Li Yaoshi and Xu Shiji's second general.

On the first day, Li Deyi sent out a large number of scout cavalry, trying to find the traces of the Tuliao cavalry, but he never found anything. Li Deyi'an endured the doubts in his heart, and according to his senior brother's judgment, he continued to rush west. At the end of the next day, the scout cavalry finally found a trace of the Tuliao cavalry.

A large horse's hoof print on the road ahead went all the way to the west, which was clearly visible. The Tuliao war horses are all high-headed horses of the best grasslands, with huge hooves, and the hoof prints left are easy to identify.

Li De was overjoyed, knowing that his senior brother's inference was correct, and immediately ordered the cavalry to speed up their advance, and be sure to rush to the city of the Daimyo's Mansion before it gets dark tomorrow. Li Deyi was afraid that he would be too late, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Pingtang Kingdom would not be able to withstand the onslaught of the Tuliao cavalry and would be defeated in advance.

With the cavalry of the garrison regiment day and night, he rushed to the city of the Daimyo's Mansion to take a look, and it was as expected by Commander Xiao Liu. Ashina Huo'er was commanding the Tuliao cavalry to storm the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and also tried to cooperate with the defenders of the city to forcibly break through Li Yaoshi's Chinese army commander's banner.

Although they had been on the road for three days in a row, the elite cavalry of the garrison regiment still maintained considerable combat strength, and Li Deyi immediately ordered the whole army to put on armor, replace the mounted horses, and mount the war horses, ready to attack.

Li Deyi looked at the battle situation in front of him and found that the battle situation was at a critical moment.

The cavalry of the Pingtang Kingdom, led by Li Yaoshi, was struggling to engage the cavalry of the Tuliao State that was attacking from behind. The cavalry of the Pingtang Kingdom was fortunate to have undergone special training of the garrison regiment before the war, and at this time in the face of the onslaught of the Tuliao cavalry, they were able to hold the line.

But Li Deyi could see that the cavalry of the Pingtang Kingdom could not hold out for long. Once the cavalry line was dispersed. The soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom, who were storming the Daimyo's mansion, would directly face the ferocious rush of the Tuliao cavalry, and I am afraid that it would be a big rout at that time.

We can't wait any longer, we must strike now!

Turning his head, he saw that his cavalry was ready, "Kill!" Li De roared, took the lead, and rushed out towards the Tuliao cavalry outside the city of the Daimyo's mansion.

This castle was built on three rolling hills, and the terrain was treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was not easy for the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang Kingdom to gnaw such a hard bone, but unexpectedly, a large group of Tuliao cavalry were killed halfway to make trouble. Fortunately, Pharmacist Li and Xu Shiji were not in chaos, so they could barely stabilize their positions and fight hard until now.

Xu Shiji continued to lead his troops to attack the city, while Li Yaoshi personally led the cavalry of the Pingtang Kingdom and fought hard with Ashina Huo'er.

After the cavalry of the Pingtang State received special training from the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, it was different. Although in terms of personal horsemanship, it is still not as powerful as the Tuliao cavalry, but it has more of a fierce and brave fighting momentum, and has fought with the Tuliao cavalry several times, although the losses are quite large, but all the cavalry of the Pingtang Kingdom has gritted their teeth and fought bloodily until now, and there is no cowardly species.

Pharmacist Li saw that the cavalry around him was fighting less and less, and although he was anxious, he didn't dare to draw foot soldiers. The foot soldiers are besieging the Daimyo's Mansion, once the troops are reduced, I am afraid that they will be rushed out of the city by the defenders of the city, and then they will form a joint attack with the Tuliao cavalry, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State will be defeated immediately.

Therefore, Li Yaoshi gritted his teeth and did his best to deal with the Tuliao cavalry, protect the perimeter of the siege infantry, and prevent the Tuliao cavalry from invading his own infantry. But after fighting so far, Pharmacist Li knew in his heart that if there were no more accidents, it would be dark today to the limit of what he could support, and he would have to retreat at night.

Pharmacist Li had to start secretly thinking of a plan in his heart to find a way to withdraw the army.

Fortunately, the terrain around this daimyo's mansion was rugged, and the cavalry was not easy to use, so Li Yaoshi was able to rely on the cavalry in his hand to entangle with the Tuliao cavalry for so long.

This rugged and narrow terrain restricted Ashina Huo'er from throwing all the Golden Wolf cavalry into battle. The Golden Wolf Cavalry was limited by this narrow terrain and could not launch a large-scale charge, so it could not exert its maximum power, so it dragged on for two days and failed to solve the cavalry of Li Yaoshi.

While trying his best to deal with the Tuliao cavalry, Pharmacist Li began to look for a way out.

Ashina Huo'er saw that the cavalry of the Pingtang Kingdom in front of him was about to be unable to withstand it, and immediately threw all the golden wolf cavalry in his hand into it. This cunning hungry wolf wanted to bite off the fat of Pingtang Kingdom.

As the war progressed, the pressure on Pharmacist Li increased, and he was about to be unable to withstand the rout.

At this moment, Pharmacist Li heard a life-saving voice coming!

Pharmacist Li followed the prestige and shouted in ecstasy: "Brothers! Deputy Head Li is here to save us again! ”?? Why add another word?

Ashina Huo'er also found out about Li Deyi's arrival for the first time. When he saw the elite cavalry of the garrison regiment following behind and rushing fiercely, Ashina Huo'er's eyes couldn't help twitching, and he didn't hesitate to issue a military order, and the golden wolf cavalry immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

When the Golden Wolf cavalry was almost gone, Ashina Huo'er immediately sounded the horn of retreat and ordered the capture army and the crashing army to retreat.

I have to say that the Tuliao cavalry is indeed elite, the attack is fierce, and the escape is also neat.

Li Deyi couldn't chase too far, because his main task this trip was to protect the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State and protect them from successfully capturing the Daimyo's Mansion, rather than chasing the Tuliao cavalry. Moreover, the elite cavalry of the garrison regiment galloped for three days, and after fighting this again, they were already sleepy and could not pursue.

Squinting his eyes, looking at the Tuliao cavalry who had fled away, Li Deyi said fiercely: "Let you be arrogant for a while, sooner or later I will kill you wolves and beasts." ”

The soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State were originally in a bitter battle, and their morale was already a little low, but the timely arrival of the cavalry of the garrison regiment simply repelled the Tuliao cavalry, which made the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State immediately rise in morale again, and mustered up the courage to continue to storm the city.

When Xu Shiji heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Li was coming, he immediately put down his command and ran over in person to ask Li Deyi for instructions on whether there was any iron egg to help. Li Deyi: "There is no iron egg." After a pause, Li Deyi said again: "General Xu can attack the city with peace of mind, and I will have my own way when the time comes." ”

This Daimyo's Mansion is also a majestic city, and with the current strength of the soldiers and horses of the Ping Tang Kingdom, it is still impossible to take this city in one day. The siege of the city on this day can only consume some of the strength of the defenders in the city. According to Pharmacist Li's pre-war estimates, if the war goes well, it will take at least half a month to capture the Daimyo's Mansion.

If the defenders of the city stubbornly resist, then there will be street fighting. At that time, it is very possible to delay it for another month.

Li Deyi found Pharmacist Li and inquired with him in detail about the situation in the Daimyo's Mansion, and Pharmacist Li told Li Deyi all the information he had. After listening, Li Deyi frowned and looked at the battlefield in front of him a few times, and suddenly asked, "This Daimyo's Mansion guard planned to lead the army to rush out from the north gate?" ”

"Yes, when the Tuliao cavalry came, the guard of the Daimyo Mansion once opened the north gate and rushed out of a cavalry from inside, wanting to cooperate with the Tuliao cavalry. Fortunately, the last general had 10,000 elite foot soldiers in his hands, and with the narrow terrain, he was in front of this cavalry, which made it unable to succeed. Pharmacist Li said.

"In this case, the general of the Daimyo Mansion has already contacted Ashina Huo'er in advance, and discussed this strategy, and wants to cooperate with the outside and catch you off guard." Li got one.

"That's true, if Deputy Head Li hadn't come in time today, the last general would have suffered a big loss." Pharmacist Li remembered the thrilling battle before, and he still has palpitations in his heart. At that time, in another half an hour, the casualties of the cavalry in his hands would exceed 30%, and a rout would inevitably occur. In the end, if Li Deyi hadn't come in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"In this way, the north gate of this daimyo's mansion should not have had time to die with stones." Li Deyi suddenly said this.

Pharmacist Li was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "It must be so." The general of the Daimyo Mansion deliberately left the north gate not to block it, that is, he planned to send out the cavalry and the Tuliao cavalry to defeat a certain general. ”

Li De rolled around with a bead, called Pharmacist Li to his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "At the end of tonight, you are like this, so ...... like this."

When Pharmacist Li heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.

Subsequently, Li Deyi came to the top of a hill, and while the sun had not yet set, he stared closely at the head of the Daimyo's Mansion and observed carefully.

In less than half an hour, the sun had set and it was getting dark. As soon as Li Deyi had dinner with his own cavalry, he rested early.

In the middle of the night, Li Deyi opened his eyes on time, walked out, and woke up Li Wuving.
