Chapter 602: The Battle Begins Before the Battle
"So, the king of Lingnan County refused to allow our army to enter the country?" Situ Lei put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, his brows furrowed and shrunk slightly.
"Yes, the king of Lingnan replied that he could solve the Jiaozhou war. Moreover, the imperial court has not yet issued an order to clearly state what crime the King of Qi has committed, and he cannot be lightly attacked. Lin Shucheng reported in a deep voice.
"Can you solve it yourself? Solve the fart! Murong Cheng's army has already entered the border between Jiaozhou and Jiangzhou, and with the tens of thousands of troops in his hands, can he resist the elite soldiers in Murong Cheng's hands? Accusation? Now for war, what charges are needed? What can the charges of the imperial court change? This bastard should have taken advantage of the chaos of Shu to sweep eastward. Keeping him behind now is simply an obstacle. Situ Lei said hatefully.
Lin Shucheng also knew that this was just angry talk. I think that at the beginning, after quelling the rebellion of the King of Shu, the conquest army was also in urgent need of rest, and in addition, Murong Cheng had just turned his focus to Yangzhou at that time. Situ Lei's subordinates all thought that it was more cost-effective to control the overall situation than to attack Jiaozhou, not to mention that Jiaozhou was still under Murong Cheng's sphere of influence at that time.
After deciding on it, Situ Lei said coldly: "In this case, let's leave him alone, let him involve Murong Cheng's army." Now, let's first solve the Wuwei army in Yanzhou. Then he coerced Xu Jie to lead the Yanzhou army to attack Yuzhou. It is best to compress Murong Cheng's forces south of the Yangtze River.
Youzhou.
"Feng Ziming came to the news, Murong Cheng found him, and after he asked for a lot of supplies, he agreed to attack the land of Yanzhou and take action against the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
Situ Liang smiled: "It seems that this Feng Ziming picked up a cheap one for nothing." This thing was originally what he was going to do, but he was wronged. If Murong Cheng knew the process before and after, he would definitely be able to blow his beard and stare angrily. ”
Zhao Xun looked at the map, raised his head and said, "If nothing else, there shouldn't be any major problems in the Youzhou headquarters." There are three towns in Jizhou, and Li Huaiyuan is in charge of the situation in the south of Youzhou, so I am not afraid of any accidents. But Shanyang Mansion is going to participate in the Yanzhou Rebellion, and I think I still have to go to the town. After all, I am Li Feng, the general of the Shanyang Prefecture Army, and if I don't show up for a long time, there will definitely be problems. ”
"My lord, the soldiers and horses of the three towns on the southern front are still too few, if not, the Wudu Yan cavalry that stayed in Youzhou will be transferred to the south to assist southern Hebei, in case there is a change in southern Jizhou. After all, southern Hebei is connected to Yanzhou and Yongzhou, and it is convenient to use it if necessary. In addition, we have to take over the western part of the North Sea, and if the Lords do anything, we will also prevent accidents. Although most of the cavalry soldiers of these five capitals speak Chinese, know Chinese characters, and wear Hanfu. But after all, they are still Tatar people themselves. Yang Wangqing said.
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "This is very good, so I will transfer the five Yan cavalry to the south, but three will be transferred to southern Hebei and two will be transferred to Qingzhou." Qingzhou is located in the north of Xuzhou, and may be the land of the Tang Army in the future, but we can't leave it alone. ”
Everyone understands that Zhao Xun did this, not only to guard against the cavalry, but also because Jizhou and Qingzhuang had just been accepted, so as not to have any accidents.
However, in addition to the continuous war in Yanzhou, the next war broke out not in the border of Jiaozhou and Jiangzhou, where heavy troops gathered, nor in the border between Yongzhou and Jingzhou, but in the northern Zhuhu.
As soon as Zhao Xun was about to set off, he received the news that the Beihai Department, the Liaodong Kingdom, and the Sumo Yan Tribes had simultaneously dispatched troops to march towards the three eastern provinces. This news came, which made Zhao Xun a little unconvinced.
"What's going on? Why haven't we heard anything about it before? After hearing about the report from the north, Zhao Xun got the detailed news. The Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Jin Tribes each sent 50,000 troops to attack the two prefectures of Andong and Liaozhou. If it weren't for the fact that the defenders of the two provinces had not slackened, they were afraid that they would suffer a lot of losses.
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "The situation is still unknown, but whether it is the Liaodong Kingdom or the Su Mo Yan Ministry, there is no sign of action before. If the King of Beihai sent troops to the Beihai camp, it was still expected by us, then the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Sect would be a little caught off guard. Neither the Eagle Eye Division nor the Shadow Division have detected the movement of the two ministries to send troops. ”
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Set up the Youbei Camp, Li Chenfeng is the head of the march, Yang Wangqing is the Sima of the camp, and the capital is the envoy, and the Youbei Camp is under the jurisdiction of the first town stationed in Dongping Mansion, the fifth town stationed in Liaozhou Mansion is stationed in Andong Mansion and the sixth town army is stationed in Xiping. He was solely responsible for the war between the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Army. The Khitan Eight Banners were transferred to the command of the Youbei Battalion and obeyed the dispatch of the Youbei Battalion. ”
"Send a message to Li Muzhi, the head of the Beihai camp, and let him take action against the Beihai Department until it is eliminated. The Chief Secretary for Administration's action to rectify the western part of the North Sea has accelerated, and this matter cannot be delayed. In addition, let Li Muzhi send someone to assist, either surrender or exterminate the clan. Kill those tribes who refuse to obey orders! ”
"Give the guard Wei Zhonglang an order to attack the east, since we are going to fight, then we will fight a certain battle. This Black Water Sect is not a good thing, and this time, they must be involved. ”
"In the name of the Xiaoguo Army, I sent an order to the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Ministry, and the two sides will not die. From now on, it is forbidden for any material in our land to flow into the tribes of the Turbulence, not even a single silk or a grain of salt. ”
"Command the Youzhou Navy to move north, find a landing site from the eastern coast of the Sumo and Heishui Formations, and prepare to provide a landing place for our sergeants. In addition, let the Youzhou Navy set up an interception at sea, and any merchant ship that enters or leaves the territory of the Tatar people will be intercepted, and let it trade under the rule of our Xiaoguo army, otherwise, it will be sunk, no matter where it comes from! ”
"This time, we need to get rid of this place completely, even if we don't go to war in the south. The rear is unstable, how can we talk about anything else? Tell the soldiers, don't leave your hands behind. So many clans in history have become memories, and this king doesn't care about destroying one with his own hands. Sent an order to the Logistics Department that all the earth-shattering thunders were provided to the Youbeixing Camp and the Beihai Camp, so that they could blow them up. Orders were sent to the ministers of the river to temporarily dispose of those sections of the river that did not need to be excavated and rocked. I wanted to move forward slowly, but you had to find death, so it's no wonder that this king is coming. Zhao Xun said coldly.
"Let the Eagle Eye Division and the Shadow Division act immediately, and find out the reason for this change in the Shadow Division, and why the Late Shadow Tribe, which has always been hostile, and the Liaodong Kingdom can join hands to send troops."
"Let Li Muzhi solve the Beihai Department with the fastest action, those who descend will live, and those who do not surrender will die! After the administrative secretary rectified the western part of Beihai, Beihai Prefecture was established and included in the jurisdiction of Dingzhou. ”
Zhao Xun issued several military orders in a row, and everyone understood that Zhao Xun was determined to rectify this secluded northern place this time.
Soon, the Xiaoguo army immediately took action, and the army moved one after another. Li Chenfeng also led the army to fight with the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Jin Tribes at the junction of the two sides. The Youzhou Navy officially began to participate in the sea landing operation this time.
Dongkatsu Castle.
Dongshengcheng used to be the territory of Liaodong Kingdom, but after being defeated by Zhao Xun in the past, he begged for peace with the Xiaoguo army, and was built by the Xiaoguo army as an outpost of Andong Mansion to resist Liaodong Kingdom.
The long sound of the horn resounded in the sky, and in the northern sky, a thin line of black pressure gradually expanded and thickened, and finally formed rows of cavalry, which were arranged in a dense cavalry formation in the wilderness north of Dongsheng City.
"Brethren! It's been two years since the Xiaoguo Army rode on our heads, and now, we don't have to put up with it anymore. Previously, we pulled out four Xiaoguo army camps, and this city is also the land of my Liaodong country. Today, we want to take it back! He Louyu, the forward general of Liaodong Kingdom, waved his knife and shouted.
Since relying on the Xiaoguo army to ask for the position of the lord of Liaodong State, He Lou Yanwen has wantonly reorganized various armies, appointed his own people as generals, and incorporated the soldiers and horses of Liaodong Kingdom into his command.
"Kill!"
He Louyu pushed the long knife in his hand forward, and tens of thousands of Yan Ya cavalry roared like wild beasts, and launched an overwhelming charge towards the Xiaoguo army outside the north of Dongsheng City.
In the formation of the Xiaoguo army.
Captain Zhang Ju gasped, rode his horse close to Li Chenfeng of the Chinese army, and said in a condensed voice: "Good guy, there are 20,000 people." Of the 50,000 troops, half of them were the vanguards. It seems that the fall of several outpost camps in front of us made the Liaodong cavalry think that we were unprepared. ”
Li Chenfeng, who was appointed as the head of the Youbei Xing Camp, was under Dongsheng City. He discussed with Yang Wangqing, one person was responsible for one side, and he was responsible for the invasion of Liaodong.
"Liaodong Kingdom! Hum...... In the past, they were spared, but now it seems that these people are white-eyed wolves. ”
"It looks like a lot, and it's very imposing. However, the art of war is full of vigor, and then declines and exhausts three times. The enemy had just passed through several of our villages, and had come from a long distance, and the men were sleepy and tired, and because of the emptiness of my outpost, I thought that we had all withdrawn to the rear. However, now our soldiers are extremely angry at the invasion of Liaodong Kingdom, and their anger is surging, and they will definitely kill the three armies. At this moment, take advantage of the situation to break the enemy. ”
"The cavalry of Liaodong is indeed very powerful, but its main general has never read the book of sages. I have never learned the soldier's book formation, and it is not difficult to break this kind of fighting method in which the whole army attacks and swells up, intending to submerge our army in one fell swoop with superior troops. ”
Not only Zhang Ju, but also several other captains also swam forward, and sure enough, they saw that nearly 20,000 Liaodong cavalry were sweeping in a half-moon-shaped scattered formation. It seems that most of the formations of the northern Zhuhu are like this, and what tactics are still talked about there.
Li Chenfeng slowly raised the steel gun in his hand, pointed directly at the opponent's Chinese army and said: "After a while, the general's personal commander and the two infantry soldiers will go straight to the opponent's Chinese army, and directly take the enemy's main general, and the enemy's two wings will see that the main general of the Chinese army is in danger, and they will inevitably lead the army back to rescue, so that the two wings will inevitably be in chaos. As for the last, it was the Khitan cavalry of the two banners that had already arrived. As long as they came out from behind enemy lines at this time, nearly 20,000 Liaodong cavalry were scattered. This time it will definitely make Liaodongguo hurt hard. I won't have that chance next time. After all, Liaodong didn't know that we had loosened up the information when they had just sent out their troops. I don't know, in order to prevent them from accommodating the affairs of the western part of the North Sea, we have always been prepared. ”
When the lieutenants heard this, they immediately shook their heads and said: "No, the general is the chief general of the three armies, how can he rush to kill in the center of the enemy army, and besides, the general enters the battle, and the situation of the enemy army cannot be detected, and we cannot make corresponding judgments." General, leave the matter of attacking the Chinese army to me. ”
Li Chenfeng thought about it and agreed with Zhang Ju's opinion, after all, he was responsible for the direction of the whole army, not leading the army to rush into battle.
Zhang Ju pointed the big gun in his hand and pushed it forward, and said in a long voice: "One and two will obey the order, and form a formation...... Kill! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Nearly 10,000 soldiers formed a triangle to meet the enemy, led by heavy infantry.
Nearly 20,000 cavalry of the Liaodong Kingdom spread out a formation four or five miles long and surrounded the Xiaoguo army.
"Dare to fight back? Kill me! "The cavalry of Liaodong Kingdom, there was a sharp roar.
At the sharpest edge of the cone-shaped array, Zhang Ju, Nangong Kai, the two lieutenants and their own guards formed a sharp knife, riding a horse and holding a spear, like a killing god, plunged into the vast Liaodong cavalry formation, and the steel spear stabbed out like a poisonous snake, and the two Liaodong officers who rushed to the front were pierced by Zhang Ju in an instant.
But both of them were foot soldiers, so Zhang Ju and the others did not dare to rush forward lightly, their task was to lead the army to pay the enemy's central army to break through, in order to attract the Liaodong cavalry on both sides to move closer to the center. Of course, if the two wings of the cavalry of the Liaodong State do not move closer to the middle, then. The formation unfolded by Liaodong Kingdom will be broken into three sections.
"Vertical shield! Defense! Archers, save up! Spears like a forest! Nangong Kai shouted.
The Xiaoguo sergeant in front of the "Boom ......" suddenly paused the giant shield in his hand and made a loud bang, and then passed the spear in his hand through the oblique round hole specially left above the shield, forming a shield wall based on the black iron shield. Above the shield wall, rows of sharp spears reflected the cold light.
The next moment, the tidal wave of Liaodong cavalry rushed to kill. Viciously entered the shield wall. Suddenly, the war horses neighed, the people turned over on their backs, and the endless miserable howls resounded in the sky in an instant.
…………
"Well, the third, fourth, and fifth all set out, and the third and fourth all cut diagonally from the enemy's slightly weaker left flank. Sidu captured the enemy's right flank, and your task is to hold back the enemy's right flank and prevent it from supporting the left flank and the center. ”
"Sandu and Sidu will be killed with me!" "Five are all with me!" The Sandu cavalry, which had been dismounted and stood in the rear and hid their horses behind the banner, roared out.
"Ignite, summon, let the Khitan Eight Banners attack, and go straight to the back of the enemy." Li Chenfeng ordered viciously. A moment later, a puff of black smoke rose into the air, accompanied by a rumbling whistling sound, of course, at this moment, the whistling sound was already under the cover of various sounds on the battlefield, and it was not clear.
"General, more than 10,000 cavalry were killed in the Xiaoguo army's formation, not the foot soldiers we saw, we were fooled. This is not the place where their captives say, and the righteous brave pretend to use the Xiaoguo army to intimidate us, they are real soldiers. ”
"What? How so? Don't panic, even if it is a town soldier, we are not afraid, let the brothers face it. We, 20,000 mighty men, are we still afraid of them? He Louyu roared.
Although He Louyu spoke proudly, there was still some panic in his heart. The striker didn't do reconnaissance, and the whole army was killed, not because those people said that there were not many town soldiers stationed here, but they were all reserve soldiers. The Xiaoguo army trained young and strong in the time of farming, which is also well-known in Liaodong.
"Report ...... General, the big thing is not good, we have 10,000 cavalry behind us, it is the Xiaoguo army! ”
"What's going on? Andong Mansion shouldn't have so many cavalry at all! ”
