Chapter 697: The Bloody Battle of Raven Ridge (2)

The ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny, the proud son of heaven from the Beijing Division, who wants to make meritorious contributions and take revenge, and Ouyang Gangqiang, who is famous all over the world, was brutally attacked as soon as he came out of the division.

Ouyang Gangqiang can sit in today's position, although there are family reasons, but I have to say that although the family has the family's illness, it is still very strict in cultivating children, at least in the use of soldiers, Ouyang Gangqiang can also be regarded as a moderate discipline, although his eyes are too high, but he is not presumptuous, even in the stimulation of Zhou Zuhao's yin and yang, he still maintains quite calm. At the beginning of the attack, he chose a fort on the far left and launched a tentative attack.

This fortress is a bit lonely compared to other fortresses that echo left and right, although it can only launch an attack of hundreds of people at a time, but it can test the opponent's military deployment, the strength of combat effectiveness, and the power of the opponent's long-range weapons, even if it fails, the loss will not be too great. Withdrawing is also relatively simpler.

But what Ouyang Gangqiang never expected was that the other party did not trap the fortress, but brazenly went out of the fort to engage in the battle. When thousands of people poured out of the fortress, as soon as the two armies engaged, the one-sided battle scene suddenly made Ouyang Gangqiang change color, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Division, who had always made him very proud, was a slag in front of the other party, seeing that the other party cut his soldiers in front of the battle like chopping melons and vegetables, Ouyang Gangqiang hurriedly ordered the follow-up troops to come forward to respond.

If the attacking soldiers can hold back the opponent, it is not impossible to take advantage of the situation to capture the fortress.

Ouyang Gangqiang, who was angry and hopeful, turned into despair in the next moment, and the overwhelming coverage of long-range weapons from the main village of Yaque Ridge made the follow-up troops suffer a heavy blow as soon as they set off, and they couldn't advance at all. He could only watch as the hundreds of pioneers who had launched a tentative attack were slaughtered by their opponents in a single cup of tea, and then Shi Shiran carried his wounded or dead comrades back to the fortress.

The faces of the officers and men of the Beijing Division battalion changed miserably, and the originally high morale was frustrated.

In the Yaqueling Military Village, Sun Zewu clasped his fists and replied to Li Qing: "My lord, the Flying Eagle of the Supervision Yuan successfully completed the task, killing 475 enemy soldiers, killing 85 Flying Eagle and wounding 127 people."

"Good!" Li Qing said with a smile: "These old soldiers in the Jingshi Battalion have always been good at fighting against the wind, let's kill his majesty first, he will not be so difficult, hahaha, I'm afraid that Ouyang Gangqiang never thought that the first battle would start with a complete defeat."

This battle was specially arranged, the entire fortress of Yaque Ridge is connected by an underground passage, soldiers and horses can be mobilized at any time, when it was found that the opponent's purpose was a military village on the far left, Li Qing immediately ordered Sun Zewu's special brigade to go out of the fort to meet the enemy, the purpose was to kill the opponent's sharp spirit. The Flying Eagle Brigade itself is selected one out of thousands in the Dingzhou Army, and one out of ten thousand, and then after special training, its combat effectiveness is so strong that I am afraid that except for the special brigade of the former Statistics Department, there is no one to compare at all, and it still has a huge advantage in numbers.

The result of this battle made Ouyang Gangqiang lose his color, and similarly, Zhou Zuhao, who originally had the mentality of watching the excitement, was also shocked, before in Shikan, the other party did not show such a strong combat power, if in Shikan, the other party also had such combat power, then, Tang Wansong's battalion would not be able to capture Shikan.

Although he can't get used to seeing the other party's eyes too high, Zhou Zuhao also understands that everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and they can't run and jump on Ouyang Gangqiang.

He took the initiative to go to Ouyang Gangqiang's command post, ready to have a good discussion with the other party.

After experiencing the first defeat, Ouyang Gangqiang's courtesy to Zhou Zuhao was also a 180-degree turn, no matter what, the other party fought a bloody battle, or won the Shikan position, although the casualties were heavy, but there was a reward, and on his side, he didn't even bubble up, and he was completely defeated by the opponent, which made him have to re-examine the combat effectiveness of the Qinzhou soldiers.

The two generals put aside the past unpleasantness between the two sides for the time being, and sat down to discuss countermeasures.

"According to some information obtained by the Ministry of Labor on the Dingzhou Fortress." Zhou Zuhao said: "These fortresses are not the same as any kind of city defense we have seen before, it is extremely difficult to attack, we have some general diagrams of the fortresses, but its internal structure can not be obtained in detail, originally in Fuyuan, the other party has a fortress, but after the barbarians returned to Dingzhou, these fortresses were demolished, we have no chance to explore, but according to the previous combat experience and the opponent's troop scheduling, I suspect that all these fortresses are connected by secret passages, so that the other party can easily mobilize troops and horses, Connecting seemingly unrelated fortresses means that what we see as the weakness of the opponent's defense may become the opponent's strongest place after we attack."

Ouyang Gangqiang stared at the plane diagram of the Yaqueling Military Village, and gasped, "That is to say, we have no choice at all, we must attack in an all-out as soon as we start, rely on the superiority in numbers to press on all fronts, and then find the opponent's weak point in the all-out attack."

"Nice! | Zhou Zuhao raised his head and said, "Attack in an all-round way, attack on all fronts."

"How do you suppress and fend off the opponent's ranged attacks?" Ouyang Gang said abruptly, the first round of attack had already allowed him to see the sharpness of the opponent's armament.

"Dingzhou's long-range weapons have a longer range than ours, but even so, we must start shooting at them, and it's better than nothing. We are outside, and the opponent is inside, we can make a steady stream of all kinds of weapons, and the opponent is trapped in the lonely city, but if there is a bad one, there will be one less." Zhou Zuhao said.

"Siege vehicles, Mengchong vehicles, and storming vehicles, we have to make a lot of them, and in addition, we can also make some equipment to cover the infantry and reduce casualties." Ouyang Gang said strongly, "It's a pity that we can't take a lot of soil here, otherwise, we will be able to attack the city, and with our huge advantage in numbers, we will fill it in, and we will fill it up alive."

Zhou Zuhao smiled, "General Ouyang, it seems that we have to stabilize our mentality and slowly grind with our opponents, we still have General Ben's third team, and when he arrives, we will have an absolute advantage in military strength."

Ouyang Gangqiang said with a smile: "Then we will suspend for two days, and build a large number of these equipment first, together with the war, the damage rate of these things must be extremely high, but we can't drop the chain when we need it most, it's not exciting."

"That's nature!" Zhou Zuhao said with a smile.

Xingzhou Zhou Tong's third counterattack on the Xiaoai River of the Benkuan Division, soon after the departure, it was learned that Zhou Zuhao, Ouyang Gangqiang's troops had arrived at the Yaqueling, and took the lead in the attack, has taken the forward position, after the troops arrived at the main village, the Benkuan Department changed the route of the march, the whole army stabbed straight into the Xiaoai River, ready to cut off the connection between the Yaque Ridge and the Dingzhou Army on the other side of the Xiaoai River and the way back.

Li Feng rode on the war horse, looking at the direction of the Yaque Ridge with some concern, the opponent's main attack on the Yaque Ridge has reached 30,000 people, and after he left, the troops on the Yaque Ridge are only more than 10,000, whether it can be blocked is still an unknown number. Especially Li Qing was still there, which made him even more worried.

"General Lee!" Li Tie rode his horse and trotted to Li Feng." More than 10,000 people from the enemy's Benkuan Division are directly inserting into the Xiaoai River, and it seems that they are preparing to cut off the rear road of the Hengdao Division."

Li Feng sneered, "He wants to pick up a bargain, let's let him touch his nose, how far is he from us now?" ”

"Less than fifty miles, the vanguard scouts are less than thirty miles away from us."

"Li Tie, you bring a sentry, go and eat their scout team for me first." Li Feng gritted his teeth and said: "The other party must think that the terrain in this section is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, but let's give him a surprise."

Xingzhou Benkuan Department, is the original Taizhou soldiers as the skeleton, and then the town army of other states after reorganization, combat effectiveness than Zhou Zuhao and Ouyang Gangqiang army is more than one grade worse, and these town army after a period of bloody purge, is even more panicked, in order to stabilize the heart of the army, before departure, these soldiers have been issued a year's salary in advance, heads, silver, all kinds of means, finally stabilized these troops, because of this Ben Kuan led the department to set off, has fallen behind a lot.

Ben Kuan is also a veteran, from the Luoyang Jingshi battalion, his family knows his own family affairs, and his own soldiers are pulled up for a brutal siege war, he has no confidence at all, especially when the opponent is the world-famous Dingzhou soldiers, they all say that the Dingzhou soldiers are invincible in the field, but most people forget that at the beginning of the Dingzhou soldiers, it was in Fuyuan to hold on, tens of thousands of barbarians besieged less than 10,000 people to stick to Fuyuan, Leng was not laid, and finally was copied back road, burned grain and grass, and even the military town was lost in the forest, had to retreat gloomily, It can be said that the battle was the most important strategic turning point for Dingzhou to conquer the barbarians, since then, Dingzhou has turned from defense to attack, began to attack the barbarians in a big way, and finally three years later, conquered the barbarians who had been rampant on the grassland for thousands of years, and incorporated the vast grassland into its command.

Since you can't fight against the pair, you can only play the side drum and knock on the nails. If the Dingzhou Army Horizontal Knife Division feels that it can't hold on, then it will naturally choose to break through, cut off the opponent's back road by himself, and wait for work here, if you are lucky enough, you may be able to intercept the remnants of the opponent's army.

When Ben Kuan's small abacus clanged, his scout team ran into Li Tie's Yizhou cavalry, which had been completely devastated, and only a few people fled in embarrassment.

When Li Feng's brigade was about to attack, the messenger of the mountain wind arrived.

"General Li, General is in a hurry." The messenger is out of breath.

At this time, why did the mountain wind suddenly come with an urgent order, and Li Feng opened the sealed letter in confusion.

"What, General Guo won't allow me to defeat my Benkuan's troops?" Li Feng's face changed suddenly, "What does he mean by this, if Ben Kuan's department is allowed to cut off the back road, Yaque Ridge will be attacked on all sides, what does it mean to cross the mountain wind, does he want to trap the commander to death?" What does he want to do? Rebellion? Li Feng was in a hurry, and suddenly he didn't choose to speak.

The messenger's face turned pale, although Li Feng's status is much lower than that of the mountain wind, but he has a special identity, he is Li Qing's half-brother, and all along, Li Qing loves him very much, he is angry, he scolds, but the messenger does not dare to say anything.

"General Guo said, General Li, you can only continue to harass the other party, get the opponent in, and make it not increase troops in the direction of Yaque Ridge." The messenger stammered.

"This is chaos, Lao Tzu doesn't listen!" Li Feng shouted furiously, stretched out his hand and pulled out his war horse, and waited to give the order to the whole army.

The messenger was in a hurry, if he couldn't complete the task, he would have to cut off his head when he went back, and in a hurry, he took a step forward and hugged Li Feng's thigh, "General Li think twice!" Disobeying military orders is a crime, but it should be beheaded! ”

"Let go, I don't know if I don't know if I don't let go, I'll kill you now!" Li Feng said angrily.

"Report!" Not far away, there was another hurried sound of horses' hooves, and a herald arrived on a flying horse, both men and horses were sweating profusely, "General Li Feng took the order."

Li Feng looked at the herald, his body couldn't help but shake, he clearly saw that the war horse inlaid with gems in his hand was Li Qing's daily saber.

The herald stood on his horse, held Li Qing's saber in his hand, and said loudly: "The general has an order, if Li Feng does not obey the military order, he can take the sword of the commander and kill him on the spot."

The eyes of all Li Feng's generals flickered, and they all looked at Li Feng. Li Feng was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qing's saber, gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally jumped off the horse, strode forward, raised his hands high, bent down and said, "Li Feng obeyed the general's order!" As soon as these words came out, everyone let out a long breath.

The generals of the mountain wind barracks, Xiong Dehai, Jiang Heiniu, Buyangu and other generals all looked at the mountain wind with some concern. Today, the generals were ordered to return to the camp and accept the military arrangements, knowing that three days ago, the mountain wind and several military orders were given to Li Feng, forcing Li Feng not to attack the Benkuan Department that cut off the return road of the Yaque Ridge on a large scale, which is a bit incredible in the eyes of the generals.

After reviewing some official duties, he raised his head and motioned for the generals to sit down, while he stretched his waist and yawned.

"Too big a general!" Jiang Heiniu finally couldn't help it and asked.

The mountain wind raised a finger and shook it, "I know what you're going to say!"

"Generals, do you think that the order I gave to Li Feng is a bit unbelievable, and I am trapping the commander to death?" The mountain wind asked.

The generals were silent.

Guo Shanfeng smiled: "Do you still wonder in your hearts whether I have different intentions and bad intentions?" ”

The generals' faces were all pale, "Don't dare!" The general is loyal to the lord, I don't dare to have some ideas! ”

The mountain wind laughed, he commanded a heavy general, Jiang Heiniu was originally from Wang Qinian's department, Xiong Dehai was born in the Hailing battalion, and Buyangu was personally promoted by Li Qing, although he had a heavy army, but as long as he had the idea of not being a minister, he would immediately become a lonely man, and the lord was a hero, how could he let himself hold the largest group army in Dingzhou without checks and balances?

"This is before the lord left, after repeated discussions with a certain person, personally gave an order, now it is just issued through my mouth, I have a master in this life, that is the lord, the lord ordered, go to the soup and go to the fire, do not give up, if you are turning this idea in your heart, you don't trust Guo so much, then I am very disappointed!" Crossing the mountain, I sneered.

Everyone was shocked and stood up, "I don't know the master's plan and the general's strategy, and I have asked the general to show me."

Guo Shanfeng smiled, "That's it, the big war is imminent, there is no need to hide it from you, the lord wants to completely penetrate the Qinling defense line this time and open the door for us to attack Xingzhou, but you all know that the opponent of the Qinling defense line has laid heavy troops, if we fight hard, even if we win, we will not be able to attack Xingzhou, not to mention, next to our couch, there is also the tiger of King Ning on one side, so the lord is making this plan, using himself as bait to tempt the enemy."

"Bait?"

"Yes, let Ben Kuan's department cut off the return route of the horizontal knife division, and at the same time let them unexpectedly find that the lord is actually in the horizontal knife division, creating the illusion that a lord will cut off the way back before he has time to withdraw from the horizontal knife division, if he finds that the lord is in the Yaque Ridge, Xingzhou Zhou Tong will inevitably storm the Yaque Ridge at any cost, and when he finds that the existing troops cannot be taken, he will inevitably mobilize heavy troops to support, which Xingzhou army is the closest to the Yaque Ridge?" The mountain wind looked at the generals.

"Tiger Pavilion!" Several people said in unison.

"Yes, Tiger Pavilion, the focus of our attack this time is on Tiger Pavilion, but the premise is that the main force of the Tiger Pavilion defenders is transferred!"

"Will Song Kaige, the master of the Tiger Pavilion, let him go?" Jiang Heiniu asked worriedly.

"If he is not fooled, we will do everything possible to fool him." Over the mountain wind road, "Ben Kuan Department cut off the return road of Yaque Ridge, a few days later, the lord will be accidentally discovered there by the opponent, and at this time, our heavy troops will also gather to the Xiaoai River, make a rescue illusion, mobilize the Tiger Pavilion defenders, I believe that Song Kaige will also receive Zhou Tong's military order at that time, as soon as the Tiger Pavilion moves, our opportunity will come."

"In the process of our movement, Ming repaired the plank road, secretly crossed Chencang, moved towards the Xiaoai River, attacked the Tiger Pavilion is true, Xiong Dehai, your department has been moving towards the Xiaoai River, and Buyangu and Jiang Heiniu suddenly turned around and attacked the Tiger Pavilion in the process of moving towards the Xiaoai River. You don't need me to teach you all this deception and deception, do you? ”

"General Guo, if I and Buyangu are gone, it will be difficult to hide Song Kaige from so many troops leaving suddenly!"

Guo Shanfeng sneered, "At that time, Song Kaige and his army no longer existed!" Xiong Dehai, after you arrive at Xiaoai River, join forces with Li Feng, attack Ben Kuan, and take him down in one fell swoop! ”

"General Wang Qinian's Qinian division will launch an attack on the defenders of Anfu Temple fifty miles away from Huting at the same time, so it will not be able to reinforce Huting, Jiang Heiniu, Buyangu, you must capture Huting with lightning speed, and then wave your division to flank Anfu Temple to help General Wang uproot the enemy army there, in this way, the Qinling defense line will collapse on the whole line, and the enemy troops at other points will have to abandon the defense line and withdraw to Xingzhou, opening the door to attack Xingzhou for us."

"Obey!"
