Chapter 487: An embarrassing battle is better than a hearty defeat
Li De opened his mouth and said: "Hit the third uncle from the south?" Why did you switch to grave guarding? ”
"Do you know whose tomb this is, old man?" Old Medical Officer Sun suddenly asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This is Di Zain's graveyard. Although I am a beggar for food, I have also heard that this Di Dashuai is a great hero. If he had been there back then, the Divine City would not have been breached, and the Ping Zhou Dynasty would not have died. On the day that Zhongshen City was breached, the old man and I quickly fled here to live, and since then I have been guarding Di Dashuai's tomb to live. Not to mention, Di Da Shuaihu is dead, the old man and I live here, the Tuliao wolf thieves slaughtered Zhongshen City cleanly, and no Tuliao cavalry dared to come here to spread wild. "The old man is quite organized when he speaks.
After hearing this, Old Medical Officer Sun frowned, waved his hand, and asked Head Xiao Liu to take this begging old man in.
Commander Xiao Liu asked the soldiers to take out a piece of light cake and hand it to the old man who was begging, so that the old man could fill his stomach first. Seeing that the old man finished eating in two bites, Commander Xiao Liu asked someone to take the old man down to settle down first, and then bring him back to the camp together later.
The coffin of Di Dashuai was lifted, carried by four veterans, and the old doctor Sun walked in the front and welcomed Di Dashuai back.
Arriving at the camp, the old medical officer Sun no longer stayed, and together with a group of veterans, he immediately set off with Di Dashuai's coffin and returned to Dingbei County.
Li Xiuming returned with his two sons. After all, this is a large camp at the front, and the next Northern Expedition is about to happen, and there are frequent battles. It's not safe for her to stay here with her two young children.
Her husband, Commander Xiao Liu, has been fighting outside for more than a year, and her son misses his father, so she followed her to the front to visit her husband who had not returned for a long time. Now that a new round of war is about to begin, she can only return to Dingbei County with her two young sons.
Seeing off the master and sending away the daughter-in-law, Xiao Liu, the head of the regiment, stood by the dock and stopped for a long time, and then reflexively returned to the camp.
The old beggar stayed in the camp. Commander Xiao Liu arranged him to the Huotou Camp, and he helped to light the fire every day, and he didn't need to do manual work.
Seeing off the master, Li Deyi and his brother began to discuss how to attack Xudu Province in the north.
Xu is not better than Jiangbei, Xudu Province is a horse Pingchuan, and the Tuliao cavalry can be arbitrarily vertical and horizontal here. If the Dingbei garrison is still like in Jiangbei Province, attacking city by city, I am afraid it will not be as smooth as it was at the beginning.
In Xudu Province, the Tuliao cavalry could rely on the cavalry's super mobility ability on the plain to repeatedly tug at war and fight with the Dingbei garrison regiment. For example, when the Dingbei garrison regiment went to attack the city, the Tuliao cavalry could go around the rear to invade or even seize back other cities that were captured, or make a detour to invade the garrison battalion.
The garrison regiment was dominated by foot soldiers, supplemented by cavalry. This kind of troop composition, in the plain area of Xudu Province, obviously can't outrun the Tuliao cavalry. If the speed of the march cannot keep up, a series of problems will arise. These problems will have to be faced by the Dingbei Garrison in the near future, and they cannot be avoided at all.
"This Tuliao cavalry is running around, it's really a big trouble. I was asked to do it in the north before, but now that they have learned well, they seem to be deliberately avoiding our main force. Senior brother, we have been camped here for so long, and we haven't seen a single Tuliao cavalry coming. Li Deyi said a little anxiously. He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a way to deal with this situation, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient.
"It's okay, now that we've gained a firm foothold, we might as well take a city first and see how Emperor Tuliao reacts." Commander Xiao Liu decided to attack a city first, and the right to test it.
Ten days later, Xingqing Mansion, north of the ruins of Zhongshen City, was captured by the Dingbei garrison.
After capturing Xingqing Mansion, Commander Xiao Liu quickly made all kinds of arrangements outside the city, waiting for the main force of the Tuliao cavalry to appear in battle. But this wait was half a month, but only a few Tuliao scouts were scattered, and the expected main force of the Tuliao cavalry did not appear.
To this day, the Golden Wolf cavalry has engaged in large-scale head-on battles with the garrison regiment several times, all of which ended in failure. In the first few times, the Dingbei garrison regiment was going all out, and the Golden Wolf Cavalry was led by Fan Guoshi, but it was still difficult to win. In the battle of Li Deyi in the north, he only used 3,000 cavalry of the garrison regiment, Yiren cavalry, and 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang State to defeat the superior Tuliao cavalry.
The current Tuliao cavalry has long since lost the invincible appearance of the lily when they first entered the customs, and they can learn much more honestly now.
At this time, the Tuliao cavalry was still coiling near the Golden Horde of the Tuliao Emperor in Yucheng and had not yet set off.
Ashina Huo'er, who won the "great victory" of the Dingbei garrison regiment, has been touted to the sky by the Tuliao Emperor, and is known as the hope of the younger generation of the Tuliao people, and what is the outstanding young man of the Ashina family. Ashina Huo'er Yi happily enjoyed the wine, the beauties, and his own rising power. But he knew his own affairs, and what defeated the Dingbei garrison was simply a glorious record that he blew out.
While enjoying the wine and beauty given by the emperor and enjoying the luxurious and wealthy life, Ashina Huo'er tried his best to delay the time and delay the day when he went south to fight the Dingbei garrison again.
Finally, seeing that it dragged on any longer, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but be furious, and Ashina Huo'er had to leave the soft couch of the beauty, ride a war horse and lead the troops to set off again.
Before leaving, for three days in a row, Ashina Huo'er went to Fan Guoshi's mansion, and claimed to be consulting the strategy of the Dingbei garrison. The old Tuliao Emperor praised this, saying that Ashina Huo'er was diligent and studious, worthy of being a rising star of the Ashina family, and also called on the younger generations of the clan to learn from him and not be ashamed to ask.
It's a pity that at this time, the nobles of the Ashina family are still shouting, we are relying on bravery and war horses, we have defeated the Pingzhou people who like to read, plundered their wealth casually, and ravaged their wives and daughters, how can we let the brave and warlike Tuliao people learn the things of the Pingzhou people. If you learn the things of the Pingzhou people, you will inevitably become as powerless as them, and you can only be slaughtered by others.
Emperor Tuliao wanted to punish these ignorant clansmen, but in the end he couldn't help but do nothing. His body has begun to decay, and at this time, maintaining the stability of the Tuliao tribe so that his son can smoothly take over power is the top priority. If it is a bloody cleanup of the noise in the clan, it will inevitably cause turmoil, and the already aged Tuliao Emperor obviously does not want to cause turmoil.
Ashina Huo'er took 50,000 golden wolf cavalry and tens of thousands of captive troops to set off again to pacify the Dingbei garrison in the south.
Although His Majesty the Emperor and his men were expecting him to defeat the Dingbei Garrison again, Ashina Huo'er was very clear-headed and knew that it was impossible for him to defeat the Dingbei Garrison head-on.
"This Dingbei garrison is too powerful. Their elite cavalry was even more powerful than the emperor's golden wolf cavalry. Not to mention the terrible pike-arm, which was simply impossible to break. Ashina Huo'er silently muttered these words in his heart, thinking hard about countermeasures.
Ashina Huo'er went down to Baoan Prefecture, not far east of Xingqing Province, and began to confront the Dingbei garrison.
As soon as he set up camp, he immediately sent out a captive army. Every day, the captives would go around to the back of the Dingbei garrison, trying to find a grain route and intrude.
Whenever Li Deyi personally led the team to catch these pesky bloodthirsty mosquitoes, the captive army would immediately flee, and even if the fallen part was caught by Li Deyi, the other cavalry of the capturing army would not hesitate to withdraw, and would never fight easily.
Ashina Huo'er this time, he is simply planning to make the shrinking turtle to the end. When the Dingbei garrison came to attack, he directly abandoned the camp and fled. When the Dingbei garrison regiment rested, he continued to send cavalry to intrude on the grain route of the garrison regiment. Shoot rockets, shoot explosive arrows secretly, run away after shooting a round, never love to fight, your garrison can't catch up with my cavalry, anyway, how do all kinds of people come.
After two months of confrontation, although Ashina Huo'er lost some cavalry, the main force was well preserved, and the Dingbei garrison did not take any big advantage.
With Ashina Huo'er nearly 100,000 Tuliao cavalry on the side, the Dingbei garrison has never been able to attack the city with confidence, and for more than two months, a city has not been captured.
The Dingbei garrison tried to attack the city several times, and the cunning Ashina Huo'er would always take the opportunity to take the golden wolf cavalry around the back of the garrison, aiming at the chrysanthemums of the garrison, and staring at the wolf.
The Dingbei garrison had to stop the siege and drive away the Tuliao cavalry first.
At this time, Ashina Huo'er will shamelessly flee again. Anyway, Xudu Province is all plains, and his golden wolf cavalry runs very fast, except for the Humvee, which can leave two or three hundred horsemen at a time, the other cavalry can escape smoothly.
In the past two months, Ashina Huo'er also achieved good results, successfully burning down two grain teams of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment and killing many soldiers of the logistics battalion of the garrison regiment.
Relying on the terrain advantage and the speed advantage of the Tuliao cavalry, Ashina Huo'er used this rogue style of play to make the northern garrison regiment overwhelmed.
Head Xiao Liu teamed up with his junior brother to think of several ways, but he couldn't succeed once, but he couldn't catch this Ashina Huo'er. Captain Xiao Liu even sighed: "Ashina Huo'er is really the most cunning of the Tuliao wolf pack!" It's hard to deal with. ”
However, what Commander Xiao Liu didn't expect was that it was the commanders of the Golden Wolf Cavalry who finally helped the Dingbei Garrison Regiment.
In the past two months, every time Ashina Huo'er encountered the Dingbei garrison, he only cared about escaping, which made the golden wolf cavalry, who had always been arrogant and self-esteemed, extremely uncomfortable. After fleeing in the wilderness again, more than a dozen commanders in the Golden Wolf Cavalry Army finally couldn't bear this humiliating way of fighting, and jointly played the Emperor of Tuliao, saying that Ashina Huo'er had deceived the emperor and falsely reported his achievements.
More than a dozen commanders jointly exposed Ashina Huo'er, claiming that the garrison soldiers he killed were only auxiliaries transporting food, not elite soldiers.
When the Tuliao Emperor heard the dictation of this piece from a dozen messengers sent by a dozen commanders, he was just in time for him to have a heart attack, his head was dizzy, and his heart was furious.
After hearing this, the Tuliao Emperor was immediately furious, indiscriminately, and directly ordered to seize Ashina Huo'er's military power, and wanted to escort him back to the Golden Tent and trample him to death with ten thousand horses.
The Emperor of Tuliao, who was on his sickbed, wisely decided to send the brave and fearless Ashina Gao Wolf and one of his sons, Ashina Teddy, to replace Ashina Hu'er to lead the army.
These two new commanders were both main battle factions, hard-line militants, and within ten days of coming to the army, they personally commanded the army and launched a general attack on the Dingbei garrison.
In this battle, the Dingbei garrison strangled 30,000 golden wolf cavalry, and the capture army was annihilated, and even the 50,000 wolf teeth brought by them were beaten to death. The Dingbei garrison took advantage of the situation to connect the three cities, and one-third of the land south of the entire Xudu Province was forever out of the control of the Tuliao State.
The Dingbei garrison regiment achieved a brilliant victory.
When the good news (bad news) reached the Golden Horde of the Tuliao Emperor, Fan Guoshi was doing his last effort to persuade the emperor not to kill Ashina Huo'er, saying that Ashina Huo'er had never suffered a major defeat since he commanded the army, and there were small victories, and he was a rare good general and could not be killed.
Ashina Huo'er closed his eyes in despair as he looked at the ten thousand Tuliao horses outside that were about to trample on him to death from the crack in the cage. (To be continued.) )
