Chapter 861: Double-edged sword

On October 25, Anzhou Ghost Fang ushered in a rare sunny day, but the cold wind was still there, and it was cold to the bone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the morning, Li Fengyun led the Fengyun army to arrive at the Donghu garrison battlefield, erected the alliance flag, and personally commanded all armies to attack the fort.

Guo Ming, the commander of the Tiger Army, Mi Yong, the commander of the Thunder Second Army, Feng Hong, the commander of the Anzhou Army, and Mo Hetunhe, the governor of the Mohefu Department, were ordered to rush to the headquarters and report the current battle situation to Li Fengyun in detail. Before dusk yesterday, the Turks increased their troops in Donghu, and about thousands of people came, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 10,000 enemy troops on the battlefield of Donghushu at present. It was precisely because of this change that Li Fengyun took the Fengyun army to the front line in person, and put on a posture of taking the fort at any cost to complete the encirclement.

Guo Ming, as the commander of the front, introduced the military situation to Li Fengyun, Yuan An, Murong Zhili, Li Mengwei, Xu Shisan and others, and at the same time made a request to the headquarters on behalf of the frontline armies, "The infantry corps is attacking the fort head-on, and a large number of horse troops must be protected on both wings, otherwise it will be attacked by the enemy's control of the left and right, so if we want to take the fort, we must first defeat the enemy army on the two flanks outside the garrison, but the Turks are clear about this, and yesterday before dusk, they sent an additional three or four thousand control strings to the East Lake Garrison, revealing their intention to take the initiative to counterattack, Therefore, today's fierce battle is not good for us, and the top priority at the moment is to send more horse troops into the Donghu battlefield to give a head-on blow to the enemy who is waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. ”

Li Fengyun smiled slightly and asked, "You want to take the fort?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Ming, Mi Yong, Feng Hong and Mo Hetunhe looked at each other with suspicious expressions. The current war situation is obvious, the alliance army seized the opportunity, of course, thanks to Li Fengyun, it was Li Fengyun who was determined to implement the decision of the northern expedition, and the alliance army hurried north without waiting for a break, and was very lucky to "dig a trap" before the Turks surrounded the ghost side, and completed the encirclement and annihilation deployment, but the Turks were strong, and the alliance army "couldn't eat", in fact, the goal of the ghost side was not to "eat" the Turks, but to hit the Turks hard, and to knock down the southeast Yaqi of the moraine, which was the biggest threat to Anzhou, Then he relieved the worries of the alliance's northern expedition. Since we want to inflict heavy losses on the opponent, of course, we must actively attack, and passive slackness or stalemate and confrontation will not solve the problem, and we will not be able to effectively kill or injure the enemy's vital forces.

However, listening to Li Fengyun's tone, it seems that he does not mean to take the fort and fight bloodily with the Turks, which is puzzling.

Mi Yong immediately opened his mouth and asked rhetorically, "If you don't take the fort, keep cutting off the enemy's retreat, and don't force the enemy into a desperate situation, how can the enemy fight back desperately?" If the enemy is not desperate, how can we achieve the goal of inflicting heavy losses on the enemy? If we can't inflict heavy losses on the enemy, how can we force the enemy to retreat and end the battle in the shortest possible time? ”

Li Fengyun pondered slightly, looked at Guo Ming and the other four chief managers, and asked, "How many reinforcements do you need to conquer the fort at the lowest cost?" If both sides lose, then the gains outweigh the losses, and it is not what I want. ”

"Ming Gong, if we can reinforce us with four or five thousand control strings, plus the input of the Fengyun Army, we will have a considerable advantage in terms of troops." Guo Ming said without hesitation, "In this way, we will be able to take the fort at the minimum cost, and then the enemy counterattacks, and we can also rely on this advantage to inflict heavy losses on the enemy." ”

Li Fengyun thought for a moment, and then turned his eyes to look at Feng Hong, the commander of the Anzhou Army. After forming an army of the two local Han and Han forces in Anzhou, Li Fengyun handed over this army to Feng Hong and Li Yi, giving them absolute trust. There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, and in his eagerness, Li Fengyun can only gamble on employing people.

"The Thunder armies do not yet have the ability to fight head-on with the Turkic control strings, if you want to transfer reinforcements and ensure safety, the only way to call in is to call in the tribal army, and the only tribal army that can be called at present is the Humiliation King Department and the Mukun Department, so in this way, plus the Mohefu Department and the Ahui Department, the four tribal armies of the Xi tribe are all concentrated on the Donghu battlefield, is this conducive to our attack?" Li Fengyun was blunt and directly consulted Feng Hong's opinion, "When the fierce battle is in full swing, will there be an accident?" ”

Although the Middle-earth army is strong enough to deter them, and the life and death of the old and weak women and children of the tribe are also in the hands of the Middle-earth people, but the hatred is a fact, and the psychological impact is also very serious, and any accident on the battlefield may occur.

Feng Hong smiled bitterly, shook his head, looked at Guo Ming with a look of anticipation, exchanged glances with Mi Yong and Mohe Tunhe to gain tacit understanding, and then replied bluntly to Li Fengyun, "At such a critical moment, there is no room for the slightest mistake, let alone a risky fight, once there is an accident and the defeat is like a mountain, the good situation will be reversed in an instant." ”

Li Fengyun nodded again and again, pointed at Guo Ming, who had a cold face, and said, "A certain Thunder First Army has been transferred over to ensure the safety of your two wings, while the Fengyun Army has not moved, waiting for the opportunity, as for the fort, you still continue to attack, but not with the goal of conquering." ”

Guo Ming frowned and questioned, "In such a stalemate, the battle situation is stalemate, it is impossible to effectively kill and injure the enemy army, and it is impossible to form an encirclement, if there is a protracted stalemate, it will be unfavorable to me." ”

"Rest easy." Li Fengyun shook his hand and said with a pun, "Now the advantage is on our side, the initiative is in our hands, a protracted stalemate is not good for me, but it is even more unfavorable for the Turks, so be patient and wait, in another day or two, the battle situation will change." ”

Tooth Banner Handsome Tent, Ashina received an urgent report, the enemy army appeared in the banner, the white wolf and his guards Fengyun army arrived at Donghu Shu, and Donghu Shu was in a hurry.

The white wolf, the commander of the enemy army in this battle is really a white wolf, which is completely consistent with the secret found out from the mouth of a captive of the Ahui Department last night. This captive was a junior general of the Ahui Ministry, and Shi Alimen personally inquired. The young general is very cooperative, knows everything, and says everything, but his status is low, and the secrets he knows are very limited, but even so, it has played an immeasurable role in the Turks to clear the fog and see the situation in Anzhou.

Based on his own personal experience, the young general told the story of the Xi army's retreat from Luoma City to Sanhui City, the confrontation with the Middle Earth army in Wulieshui, the siege and defeat of Maogou River, the surrender of the tribes, the reorganization of the Great Alliance, the Ahui Department was driven out of Anzhou and migrated to the Shaolang River, and the north went north to attack the Turks.

The white wolf must be the commander of this Middle-earth rebel army, and the purpose of the white wolf's "comeback" is to sweep through the Donghu species to change the situation of the confrontation between the north and the south, and then combined with the news about the white thief from Middle-earth, the white wolf must be the "knife" in the hands of Middle-earth, and Middle-earth intends to use the white wolf to confuse the situation outside the country, while the white wolf uses the support of Middle-earth to survive.

Of course, because Ashina knew that the white thief and the white wolf were the secret soldiers of Middle-earth, and knew that the knife was "incompatible" between some powerful people in the north and south, so he now believed in Shi Shuhuxi's inference that the knife should have gotten out of control, and the relationship between the knife and Pei Shiju should be used by each other. This made Ashina quite uneasy, and he planned to immediately inform Princess Kehe Dunyicheng and Sha Bo Luo of Ashina Suni and other conservative magnates after withdrawing the army.

Today's "knife" is not only out of control, but also has considerable strength, once the wings are full, the tail is not big, it will inevitably damage the interests of the desert. If the tooth tent is determined to quickly strangle the scourge of the "knife", to eradicate the grass and eradicate it all, the southeast tooth banner will definitely undertake this task, considering the complex political struggle and conflict of interest within the tooth tent, the conservatives can use the "knife" to seek some political benefits, but this requires the decision of the conservative magnates of the tooth tent such as Princess Kehe Dun Yicheng and Sha Bo Luo Shi Ashina Suni Loss.

In addition, Shi Alimen also made an important inference, that is, it is very likely that the white wolf took advantage of the excellent opportunity of the Turks to take the Turks by surprise and swept away the weak Luoshui with a thunderous force, and the evidence is that the Ahui tribe has begun to migrate north to the Shaolang River. The reason why the Ahui Department participated in the Ghost Fang War this time was that the coercion of the white wolf was one of the reasons, but the two sides should have other agreements, the Ahui Department helped the white wolf to attack the Turkic artificially on the condition of artificiality, in exchange for the support of the white wolf for its migration to the Shaolang River, otherwise the Ahui Department will definitely be attacked by the Khitans as soon as it comes out of Songshan, and the Ahui Department has no choice but to bow to the white wolf in order to survive.

If this inference is correct, then the white wolf is pouring out of the ghost battle that is going on at this moment, and he will defeat the Turkic army at any cost, so that he can go north and sweep through the weak Luoshui to win enough time.

Now the white wolf has appeared, with his guards Fengyun army, directly killing Donghu Shu, posing to complete the siege and fight to the death. This is going to be desperate, but Ashina will never allow himself to fight a lose-lose fight, which is meaningless, because even if he defeats the white wolf, he can't stop the Middle Earth army from sweeping through the weak Luoshui, because Anzhou still has Li Zixiong, a veteran, and Li Zixiong will be given great support in the Great Wall, and Middle-earth still has the ability to defeat the Donghu Zhuzhu in the shortest possible time. In addition, from his own standpoint, Ashina still needs the existence of the "knife" for the time being, if Shi Shu Huxi's inference is correct, the knife is indeed out of control, the knife is working hard for itself, and he wants to be the overlord of one side, then the knife is a "double-edged" knife, which can not only harm the interests of the desert, but also endanger the interests of Middle-earth, so the use value is greatly increased.

"We must support Donghu and hold on." Shi Alimen reacted to the urgency of the East Lake and came up with countermeasures, "As long as the retreat continues, we will be able to confront the enemy for a long time, we will be able to drag the opponent and continue to consume the opponent, and we will be able to win time for the tooth tent and the Donghu species on both sides of the Bulishe and the weak Luoshui." ”

Ashina scoffed. Deplete? Who consumes whom? Instigating me to fight with Middle-earth and deliberately kill me, the means are too clumsy, right?

"Reinforcements? How many reinforcements? Ashina sneered, "The white wolf is concentrating on attacking Donghu Shu, and no matter how much reinforcement I put in, it won't help." The order went down, and ordered all departments to immediately move closer to Donghushu, and I wanted to concentrate the main force on Donghushu and fight to the death with the white wolf. ”
