Chapter 259: Offense and Defense
Li Deyi, who was next to him, saw that his senior brother was so shocked, thinking that something important had happened, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, what's the matter?" ”
"According to our scouts, the Crashing Command Army sent 50,000 soldiers and horses this morning and has set off for us. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Huh? What the? Yes! Well done! We still have to go a long way to beat this ancestor Chiren, he is good this time, and he sent it to the door himself! Could it be that after he became a lackey for the Tuliao people, he learned to be obedient? As soon as Li De heard his senior brother's words, he was first surprised, and then he was overjoyed.
Commander Xiao Liu thought for a while, and then said to his junior brother: "The original plan remains unchanged, and the 15,000-strong army will continue to meet the battle and set up camp outside the city. The army must not be allowed to attack the city, and the people of this valley county must be protected from being disturbed by the war. ”
What Commander Xiao Liu said was full of pride, and in the face of the 50,000 menacing Command Army, he resolutely chose to go out of the city to fight in the field, refusing to rely on the city wall to defend it. This is also the strong combat power of the garrison regiment, inherited from the spear army created by Taizu, the founding of the Ping Zhou Dynasty 600 years ago, which is extremely strong, so that Xiao Liu has the confidence to compete with Zu Chiren outside the city.
Li had a little head, and then ordered the army to set off. The herald sent orders down to the commander, and the entire 15,000 soldiers and horses moved out of the city in a mighty manner. As for the candidate to defend the city, Commander Xiao Liu didn't think about it at all. If Zu Chiren is allowed to fight under the city, then what kind of victory will it be in the north camp of a hundred battles! How dare you call the spear army array handed down by the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty invincible?
Ten days later, the Crashing Order Army finally slowly appeared in view. Fifty miles away from Gucheng County, Zu Chiren cautiously ordered the army to stop moving forward and begin to set up camp. At the same time, arrange for the infantry to begin to line up, ready to deal with the attack of the garrison.
At this time, the scouts of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment had already found out the actual number of the colliding army. This ancestor Chiren sent troops is still the same old practice back then, once the army is mobilized, he likes to deliberately expand the number of soldiers and horses, and boast. Although the colliding army that came this time claimed to be 50,000, in fact, the real soldiers were only a little more than 30,000, and the rest were all Ding Zhuang's people who were forcibly captured by Zu Chiren from the village outside Yecheng.
Zu Chiren is used to doing this, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong at all, in his eyes, the Dingbei garrison is called 20,000, and it is not bad to actually have 10,000 soldiers, and the rest are probably forcibly conscripted by the people.
In this battle, Zu Chiren also brought Guo Wuchang over, although he was conceited, he was not stupid, he knew that the more he knew about the enemy before the war, the more beneficial it would be for him to fight. Guo Wuchang was brought over by him because he had fought with Weibeiying, so that he could ask at any time. Of course, there is also a layer of surveillance, so it is needless to say.
Zu Chiren forced Ding Zhuang to start digging trenches, piling up earth walls, and building camps, while ordering the soldiers to stand by in battle to guard against a surprise attack by the garrison. Guo Wuchang watched from the side, and he didn't say much, he knew that as the second-in-command, the first leader didn't ask, he didn't talk too much, he said too much, and once something happened, it was easy to become a scapegoat.
In fact, Zu Chiren's division of troops this time seemed sudden, but in fact it was a decision made after "deep planning" and "heavy consideration".
However, since Zu Chiren defected to the Tuliao people, he has been a fox and a tiger, relying on the support of the Tuliao elite cavalry behind him, and has also won many battles and defeated many famous generals. Gradually, Zu Chiren had the illusion that "I was already so strong!" ”
Zu Chiren, who was full of self-confidence, suddenly realized that he had 80,000 elites under his command, and it was too stupid to stare at a Yecheng like this. Zu Chiren felt that he had the strength to divide his troops into two places and build two large camps, which were the strength of each other's horns, so that he could besiege Yecheng on two sides. Not only that, if the troops are divided into two places, he can completely prevent the insect-like Dingbei garrison from making trouble at the critical moment when he is besieging Yecheng.
Zu Chiren, who lived in the illusion of "Lao Tzu is very strong", took it for granted that as long as he pulled the soldiers between the west of Yecheng and Gucheng County, the small Dingbei garrison would definitely be frightened by his elite soldiers and horses, and he would dare to pick up his tiger whiskers again. At that time, the two large camps will be one, and they will only have a few days to travel from each other, and they can attack Yecheng on both sides in peacetime, and if one side is attacked, they can hold on and wait for the other side to come to help.
Tsk, how perfect this plan is, only a capable person like my Zu Chiren can think of it, and only have the courage to implement this idea.
Poor Zu Chiren, didn't your scout tell you how elite the soldiers and horses of the Dingbei Garrison are? Yes, he is living in "Lao Tzu is very strong, except for Tu Liao Jing Cavalry, Lao Tzu is invincible in the world!" "This hallucination. At this time, even if the scout reported the actual situation, Zu Chiren would definitely sneer at it, and even scold the scout and scold him for making things up. What are you kidding, how can there be such a strong army in the world!? This kind of strong army is clearly only found in the book that describes the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and it is all made up by storytellers, how can it be true? !
Guo Wuchang wanted to tell Zu Chiren about the situation in Weibei Camp, but when he saw his nostril-filled face, Guo Wuchang simply stopped. People who are full of smugness, where can they listen to the words that others are better than themselves.
It is said that the present world newspaper comes quickly. It didn't take long for Zu Chiren to be complacent, when he met a young man riding a mule and came to slap him in the face.
As soon as the colliding army arrived, Commander Xiao Liu climbed the city tower, saw through the details of Zu Chiren's colliding army, and combined with the intelligence collected in the past few days, he immediately made a decision and immediately went to battle! Frustrate its spirit first!
Without waiting for the colliding army to line up in formation, Commander Xiao Liu had already taken the lead in completing the formation outside the city with the elite infantry of the garrison regiment, and then pressed straight towards the colliding army. On the flank of Regiment Commander Xiao Liu, there were twenty-four students led by Li Deyi, as well as five thousand cavalry of the garrison regiment. In this operation, Commander Xiao Liu did not assign any specific battle plan to Li Deyi at all.
Li Deyi is no longer restrained by his senior brother, so he naturally fights as much as he wants. Simply, he used the old routine again, relying on the "Humvee" to be brave and invincible, and there was no horse in the whole world to stop him, and he first went to attack the cavalry of Zu Chiren's ramming army on the flank.
The "Humvee" was fast, and this one rushed up, rushing to the forefront of the army in the blink of an eye. Zu Chiren immediately noticed the young man who came out of the formation on a mule, and immediately burst out laughing. "How can this garrison be so poor? Can't even prepare a war horse? Look at that young general, he actually rushed out on a mule! It's really handsome, hahaha......"
Zu Chiren deliberately laughed loudly, wanting to use his laughter to infect the soldiers under his command and calm them down. Sure enough, the soldiers around Zu Chiren hurriedly picked up the stinky feet of their handsome man and licked them violently. The soldiers gestured to each other with their eyes, and united in a wanton loud mockery.
Guo Wuchang listened to it next to him, and intuitively felt that this voice was extremely harsh, and said in his heart: "Let's laugh hard now, after a while, if you can still laugh, it will be weird!" ”
Poor Zu Chiren, it was dark when Li Deyi committed the crime outside his camp, and he didn't have time to see how Li Deyi knocked down his cavalry. Guo Wuchang is also a wise man to protect himself, Zu Chiren doesn't ask, he doesn't say.
In the blink of an eye, Li Deyi took the lead in leading the mule to rush into the cavalry of the Crashing Army, and at this time, the military order conveyed by Zu Chiren to the cavalry to meet the enemy had just arrived. Zu Chiren patronized and laughed, almost forgetting about the order.
Then, in the next moment, the cavalry of the colliding army was a group of people turning over on their backs, and the "Humvee" was powerful this time, directly knocking down more than 300 cavalry of the colliding army. Zu Chiren saw this situation in the back formation, and almost shocked his jaw shell. He stopped talking and laughing like before, and stammered and asked, "This, this, what's going on?!" Could it be the mule?! ”
Guo Wuchang was also very bad, and hurriedly stopped him: "That mule is the only descendant left by Di Zaiqing, the god horse ridden by Di Dashuai, and the fire-eyed fox." ”
"Ahh Really?! Zu Chiren was shocked, and suddenly lost his voice.
"Indeed, according to legend, the fiery eye is the king of horses. Back then, Dashuai Di led the cavalry of the Weibei Battalion to crisscross the fortress, and most of them relied on the trick of fire eyes. Since that mule is his descendant, he must also inherit this trick," Guo Wuchang tried his best to suppress the schadenfreude in his voice and replied calmly.
Just when Zu Chiren turned his head to ask Guo Wuchang about the origin of this mule, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
Li Deyi first tore a hole in the cavalry of the Crashing Army, followed by his twenty-four students, divided into two rows, and the war horses were next to each other, like two walls, and they crashed headlong into the wounds of the cavalry formation of the Commander's Army.
Zu Chiren had just finished marveling at the origin of the mule, and when he looked up, he saw this scene again. The twenty-four cavalry of the Dingbei garrison regiment were like mowing grass, harvesting the flesh of his heart. The cavalry of the Crashing Order Army was not at all the opponent of the cavalry of the twenty-four magnificent realm Dingbei garrison regiments, and in front of them, if they couldn't even make a move, they would be cut off their horses.
Twenty-four students followed behind Li Deyi, relying on Li Deyi as the vanguard to disrupt the formation of the leading cavalry for them, and killed the crying father and mother of the cavalry of the colliding army.
Zu Chiren looked at it for a while, and suddenly his whole body was excited, "Hiss! He gasped and said, "Twenty-four good hands in the Qi Magnificent Realm!" This garrison regiment is a big deal! Where did they come from so many magnificent masters! And train them separately into an army, this, this, how is this possible?! ”
Not long after the surprise was over, the cavalry of the garrison regiment also killed. The cavalry of the 5,000 garrison regiment and the more than 8,000 colliding troops were strangled together on the open battlefield in the northeast of Gucheng County, amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
Because the cavalry of the Collision Commander Army was forced by Li Deyi to rely on the "Humvee" at a fast speed, the first move to disrupt the formation, at this time was in place, and the horse speed did not rise at all. The cavalry of the North Garrison Regiment has a horse speed bonus. The cavalry of the garrison regiment took advantage of the speed of their horses and followed the opening of their own commander, and rushed into the cavalry of the collapsing army like a huge wave. The cavalry of the Crashing Command Army, which lacked the horse speed bonus, suffered heavy damage as soon as they first fought. However, there were many bad people in the colliding army, and after the war horses of the two sides were mixed together, they still had a slight advantage.
Even though Li Deyi relied on the "Humvee" to be brave, after all, he only had one man and one mule, and if he wanted to defeat the more than 8,000 cavalry of the Crashing Army, it would take a while. (To be continued.) )
