In the end, what prompted Regiment Commander Xiao Liu to change the established war strategy was not only forced by the situation, but also other favorable factors at play. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One of them is the traditional habit of Emperor Gao of Tuliao Taizu who did not like the city and liked to station the Golden Horde in the wilderness.

For a long time, the royal court of the Tuliao Kingdom has always followed the emperor's golden horde, and rarely stationed in the city. After the Tuliao State left Tongwan City on the grassland and broke through the pass to capture the Ping Zhou Dynasty in the south, the Golden Horde never stayed in the city.

On the grassland, because the winter is too cold, in order to avoid the severe cold that can freeze people to death, the Tuliao Emperor will move into Tongwan City in winter. But in the Pingzhou Dynasty to the south, winter can be called warm for the Tuliao people. Therefore, since the capture of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, the Tuliao Emperor has always set up the Golden Horde court in a place outside the city where the water and grass are abundant.

This also means that if a soldier and horse can break through to the Golden Horde, the Emperor of Tuliao will not have the protection of the city wall. It's just that for a long time, no soldier or horse in the world can defeat the powerful Golden Wolf Cavalry and kill the Golden Horde of the Tuliao Emperor.

Fan Guoshi once suggested that the Tuliao Emperor set up the Golden Tent in the city, but at that time, the Tuliao Taizu Emperor Gao waved his hand and said loudly and heroically: "The 120,000 golden wolf cavalry is my city wall. If the 120,000 golden wolf cavalry can't stop the enemy, no matter how thick the wall is, it will be useless. ”

The royal court was set up in the golden tent in the wilderness, which was a manifestation of the strong self-confidence of the Tuliao Emperor, and it was also the arrogance of the Tuliao Emperor.

After the little emperor succeeded to the throne, no one mentioned the matter of letting the emperor move into the city. On the one hand, the Tuliao nobles really did not like to live in the city, and they preferred to live in tents in the wilderness. After all, our ancestors have lived like this for generations, and it is difficult to change it in a short period of time.

Second, you let the new emperor move into the city, which is implying that the new emperor is not as powerful as the old emperor? Seeing that the new emperor is young, he wants to stir up trouble? Although Huang Ji is still a half-sized child, he is already very imposing, and he can't allow people to despise him at will. There were a few Ashina nobles who had mentioned this, but Huang Ji found an excuse and rushed back to the grassland to eat sand. The nobles of Ashina are reluctant to bear the flowery world of Pingzhou, and they dare not mention this matter again.

Moreover, the court of the Golden Horde is set up in the wilderness, and there is no danger to defend, but if the enemy comes to attack, it will inevitably be discovered in advance. Then the emperor can mount his horse and withdraw, and there will be no danger.

Although the Golden Horde of Tuliao is now set up in the wild, it is still safe. In addition to the cavalry of the Tuliao Kingdom, no one in the world has such a fast marching speed, which can throw off the Tuliao cavalry and forcibly storm the Golden Horde's court.

However, now the situation has taken a new turn. With this new four-wheeled carriage, the marching ability of the garrison's infantry regiment was greatly improved. What's more, this new four-wheeled carriage has only appeared for a short time, and now the Tuliao Kingdom knows nothing about it, and is defenseless.

Surprise and attack unprepared! It is an important condition for the victory of the raid.

This time, Commander Xiao Liu is planning to directly attack the Golden Horde of Tuliao, where the Golden Horde Court is located, Huanglong Mansion! Drive the forces of the Tuliao State out of Northern Hebei Province forever at one time. If possible, Xiao Liu even wanted to try to directly capture and kill the little emperor of Tuliao, thus dividing the Tuliao country and plunging into civil strife.

"Straight to the Yellow Dragon" is the code name given by Commander Xiao Liu to this military operation.

This seemingly difficult, even somewhat whimsical action, is now actually sufficient!

The internal reason is that the infantry of the Dingbei garrison regiment has a new four-wheeled carriage to travel, which can send 2,000 infantry troops over long distances in a short time. Two thousand foot soldiers, although it doesn't sound like much, but don't forget, this is a garrison regimental commander who can be ten or even one hundred!

Moreover, the current garrison regiment commander spearmen are no longer the poor foot soldiers of the past. The current garrison regiment commander spearmen are well-armoured, sharp-edged spears in their hands, well-fed and extremely strong, and each soldier also carries a huge square shield on his back. This kind of armament is also well-deserved in the world.

The external condition is that the Tuliao State is declining day by day, and there are already signs of internal division.

With a large number of golden wolf cavalry deaths of the Qiliao tribe, the dominance of the Tuliao Golden Ashina family in the entire Tuliao country has begun to gradually decrease. After the little emperor of Tuliao ascended the throne, he repeatedly summoned Ashina Wolf Qing to come, but he was rejected on the grounds that he was unwell and suffered arrow wounds.

And the little emperor of Tuliao did not dare to do anything to Ashina Wolf Qing, who still had most of his troops, due to the lack of troops. Now Ashina Wolf Qing's Wanjin tribe has withdrawn to the grassland to recuperate in advance, and its strength is growing day by day, and it is no longer inferior to the Qiliao tribe directly led by the Tuliao Emperor.

On the other hand, the Golden Qiliao tribe led by the little emperor of Tuliao has been far less powerful than the beginning due to repeated defeats. The nobles of the major tribes on the grassland have been keenly aware of this, but they just don't dare to take the lead. After all, although the old emperor is dead, that terrible Fan Guoshi is still alive, and he is also loyal to the little emperor.

Although Fan Guoshi's combat strength has been greatly damaged now, if he talks about the ability to command the march and fight, he has not weakened at all. In the bloody battles that unified the Tuliao tribes, it was Fan Guoshi who personally formulated strategies and tactics, commanded the elite wolf cavalry, and defeated the powerful coalition forces of various ethnic groups again and again, which finally established the unshakable golden Ashina family of the Qiliao tribe on the grassland.

Regarding the recent situation in Tuliao, Commander Xiao Liu knew very clearly through the caravans from Dingbei County to various tribes in the grassland.

He concluded that if he could kill this little emperor in one fell swoop this time, the Tuliao Kingdom would inevitably fall apart immediately and fall into civil strife. It will be a great thing for the Dingbei garrison regiment.

Both internal and external conditions are available, even the most unstable variables, people's hearts! It is also in the grasp of Xiao Liu.

The reason why Commander Xiao Liu dared to arrange such a bold combat operation this time was because he had an accurate grasp of Ashina Huo'er's thinking and psychology.

He knew that Ashina Huo'er was unwilling to fight head-on with the Dingbei garrison now, but preferred to find some bargains from other soldiers and horses.

In this operation, in the early stage, Commander Xiao Liu directly sent the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang Kingdom, the Pingming Kingdom, and the Han King to Ashina Huo'er and let him choose at will. And Commander Xiao Liu will take a small elite unit of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, two thousand of the most elite first-class soldiers, in a new-style four-wheeled carriage, under the escort of three hundred Beiwei troops, to the north for hundreds of miles, and go straight to Huanglong Mansion!

Li Deyi was in charge of commanding 53 student cavalry and 300 back troops. At that time, as the sharp spearhead of the Golden Horde of the Liao Emperor, he stabbed a shot in the heart of the Liao State.

At the same time, in order to ensure that Ashina Huo'er felt at ease to find the advantage of the three soldiers and horses, the head of Xiao Liu specially arranged for someone to spread the news outside, saying that the three generals joined forces to force the palace and asked the Dingbei garrison to give up more benefits. The commander of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment was furious and allowed the three generals to act separately and would no longer provide any support.

The person who spread the news was a local man who had been hired by the garrison to help unload grain. It is said that he had seen five generals come out of the house in embarrassment, and then the two regimental commanders also rushed out in a rage.

This news spread through layers and layers, and was soon heard by the spies of the Tuliao people, and then spread to Ashina Huo'er's military tent layer by layer.

Ashina Huo'er is very cunning and unusual, and of course he will not believe this kind of news. For a long time, the Dingbei garrison has always attached great importance to secrecy, and the Tuliao spies have rarely been able to detect any useful information.

Ashina Hu'er wouldn't be so easily fooled. But he subconsciously didn't want to give up the news, just pretended to ignore it, but secretly doubled the scouts, and tried his best to keep an eye on the recent movements of the soldiers and horses of the three families and the Dingbei garrison.

In the depths of his heart, Ashina Huo'er did not fail to desire the news to be true, and he wanted to win a good battle too much.

Two days later, in accordance with the military orders of the commander of the garrison regiment, the three soldiers and horses led their troops out and went straight to their respective scheduled attack cities.

The Tuliao scouts then reported the situation to Ashina Huo'er.

Hearing the scout's message, Ashina Huerden stood up from his stool. Because of his excitement, even the bookcase in front of him was knocked crooked by him.

Ashina Huo'er kept pacing in the tent, his brows furrowed, and he tried his best to analyze the current situation.

Eventually, Ashina Huo'er took a deep breath and ordered the scouts to probe again. He had already suffered too many losses, and he knew that the commander of the garrison regiment was good at scheming, and he would never easily expose such a big flaw.

At this moment, Ashina Huo'er chooses to be an honest person first, and after honestly observing the changes in the situation for a while, he decides how to act.

The military situation began to come one after another, and the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State had already driven to the city of Xiaopei and began to prepare for the siege. The Dingbei garrison regiment did not move.

The soldiers and horses of the Pingming State have begun to attack Anyang. The Dingbei garrison remained stationary.

The Han army is attacking Ji'an Province. The Dingbei garrison remained stationary.

The Pingtang State soldiers and horses attacked Xiaopeicheng and suffered a setback, and the attack for three days made no progress. There was still no movement from the Dingbei garrison.

The soldiers and horses of the Pingming State attacked Anyang and were frustrated, losing more than 1,000 casualties. The Dingbei garrison did not move.

The Han army besieged Ji'an Mansion for three days, besieging but not attacking, and it seems that they were not in a hurry to attack the city. The Dingbei garrison regiment also did not send anyone to urge.

Ashina Huo'er received the latest military information sent back by the scout, and couldn't help but go back and forth in the tent faster and faster, "What is the Dingbei Garrison Regiment going to do this time?" ”

Not only did Ashina Huo'er not understand the plans of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, but the five generals of the three families added up also did not understand what the Dingbei Garrison Regiment planned to do.

The five generals had already sent a quick horse to the Dingbei Garrison Regiment for help, but the Dingbei Garrison Regiment only replied, telling them to calm down and act patiently according to the military orders.

On the tenth day of the war, the Pingtang Kingdom finally made progress. With 10,000 elite infantry soldiers trained by the garrison regiment, Xu Shiji took them to the head of Xiaopei City for the first time. However, due to the desperate resistance of the defenders, the Pingtang State failed to capture Xiaopeicheng in one fell swoop.

If this fight continues, Xiao Peicheng will not survive the next ten days, and he will be conquered by Pharmacist Li with his troops.

Among the hundreds of thousands of commanders of the Tuliao army, Ashina Huo'er raised his hand several times, wanting to order troops to attack the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State, but finally fell again. "Double the scouts! Go to find out the movements of the Dingbei garrison regiment, and once you find something, report back quickly! Ashina Huo'er gritted his teeth and ordered.
