Chapter 230: The Story of the Wolf
Zhenglan Banner Sushun did not get rid of the chase of the Dingzhou cavalry until it was dark, and when he heard that the scout reported that the Dingzhou cavalry had retreated, and Long Xiaojun, under the leadership of Naben, had rushed to help, he breathed a big sigh of relief, and finally avoided the fire with the Dingzhou soldiers.
Defeat Dingzhou, Su Shun also wanted to, but he didn't want his soldiers to pay a heavy price, the best result was to follow Long Xiaojun's ass, just beat the water dog, to let him be the first person to eat crabs, he would never refuse. Haningqi, who wanted to do this, has now returned to the underworld, and the second Daishan who wants to do it was beheaded by his own son, and the bloody facts have proved that the Dingzhou Army is a thorn, even if it is gnawed, it will be pierced with blood, not to mention, so far, all the departments of the grassland have been pierced with blood, and the meat has not been bitten a few bites. As soon as he thought of the excellent equipment of the Dingzhou soldiers, Su Shun's scalp was numb.
Bayar, since you are the emperor of the Yuanwu Empire and the leader of the grassland, then you should pay a little more, Su Shun thought in his heart.
"Sushun Banner Master!" Naben rode his horse in front of Su Shun, turned over and dismounted.
"Second Prince!" Naben has always been called Uncle Su Shun before, but now it is not as good as before, Haning Qi died, Dai Shan died, Boyan was a hardcore ally of the Bai clan, and he was already alone, of course, he should be more low-key. "Fortunately, you came in time, which scared away the Dingzhou army, the second prince is wise and powerful, and it is indeed the future eagle of our grassland." After Najib's death, Naben was already on the rise.
Naben frowned slightly, his bronzed face was drenched with water, he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, his black and shiny hair was carefully braided into countless small braids, and a purple and gold headband tied his hair, he hated Su Shun from the bottom of his heart, but the current situation made him have to let this disgust be suppressed in his heart.
"Banner Master, why do you blindly retreat instead of fighting? There are 20,000 elites in your department, and the enemy is only more than 10,000 people, if you can entangle the opponent and wait for me to arrive, it will be a great opportunity to completely annihilate the Dingzhou cavalry. ”
Su Shun's face was full of smiles, "Second Prince, you haven't fought head-on with the Dingzhou cavalry, you don't know the other party's bravery and well-equipped, don't hide it from the second prince, although I have 20,000 elites, but if I really fight them, I have no chance of winning at all, Haningqi, Dai Shan's experience, they all thought they were very strong, but they were defeated by the Dingzhou soldiers." Besides, if you look at our blue flag, there are only a few thousand iron armors, most of them are leather armor, and although there are few Dingzhou soldiers, everyone is wearing strong armor, the strength of the bow and crossbow, and the fierceness of long-range strikes are not comparable to me. Your Majesty's order to me is to attack Zhenyuan Castle, not a decisive battle with the Dingzhou cavalry! ”
When Na Ben heard this, he was immediately furious, saying that he still wanted to save the strength in his hand, if Su Shun could entangle the Dingzhou soldiers at any cost, and when he arrived, he didn't dare to say that he would annihilate the opponent, at least he could let the opponent flee.
Taking a deep breath, Naben sneered, "Since it's an attack on Zhenyuan Fortress, I don't know what's going on right now?" Have you ever laid it? Su Shun spread his hands and said with a smile: "Attacking the fortress is not the strength of my grassland iron cavalry, I have worked very hard, and my sons and daughters are also desperate, if you don't believe it, the second prince can go to Zhenyuan City to see the pile of my sons and daughters, since the second prince is here, why not help me, and let me see the courage of the second prince?" Hahaha, since the second prince has arrived, with the second prince's divine martial arts, presumably the Zhenyuan Fortress can be lowered, and our department is willing to press the battle for the second prince. ”
Naben was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha entered the ground, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Longxiao Army in his hand were all the same color, and he didn't even have a siege tool, how to fight the fortified fortress, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, and under Su Shun's smile, he sneered in his heart: "Fight with me, your kid is still a little tender." ”
"Second prince, just now the scout came to report, the Dingzhou cavalry did not withdraw to Shahe Town, but rushed to Dingyuan Fortress, it seems that they want to fight the two flags of Zhenghuang and Huang. Shall we go to support the Banner Master of Boyan right away? It was Hu Sha'an, the general of the Long Xiao Army, who spoke.
Naben narrowed his eyes, "You said they went to Dingyuan again?" ”
Jushaan nodded affirmatively.
Naben's eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Shun and said, "Su Shun Banner Master, there is a great opportunity right now, do you dare to go with me?" ”
Su Shun arched his hand and said, "Second prince, please speak clearly." ”
"More than 10,000 cavalry from Dingzhou went straight to Dingyuan, obviously wanting to pay attention to the two flags of Zhenghuang and Huang, and at this time Shahe Town was empty. We bypassed Zhenyuan, rushed directly to Shahe Town, and took Li Qing's Chinese army camp. ”
Su Shun's eyes lit up at first, but then he thought of another possibility, "Second Prince, this is too risky, please be cautious, even if these more than 10,000 cavalry go to Dingyuan, but there are also Li Qing's Changsheng battalion, the whirlwind battalion and two battalions of cavalry, besides, it is the Qi Nian division that defends Shahe Town, Wang Qinian's best thing is to break the cavalry with steps, and they have been operating Shahe Town for a long time and occupy a favorable location, we are going, once we take Shahe Town, it is very good, but what if we can't take it?" What about being entangled in Sand River Town? That Zhenyuan Fortress is a knife across our heads, what about our logistical supplies? If it is sealed in this area, there is a danger that the entire army will be destroyed. ”
Naben said angrily: "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, that battle with full certainty, as long as you are fifty percent sure, you can give it a try, we are all cavalry, come and go freely, entangle us, what does Li Qing take to entangle us, his personal guard battalion, the elite of the whirlwind battalion is not much left in the battle of Baishan Mountain, how much can the rebuilt army have left?" ”
Su Shun just shook his head and said: "Second Prince, if it is really as you said, our department is willing to send a cavalry to attack Shahe Town with the Second Prince, but most of the men and horses still have to be stationed in Zhenyuan, in order to be safe, if the 20,000 sons succeed, we can then advance, in case the second prince fails, then the back road is safe, and we can retreat at any time." ”
Facing Su Shun, who was not advancing with oil and salt, Na Ben had nothing to say, and said in a cold voice: "How many cavalry can the Su Shun banner master give me?" ”
Su Shun spread out a slap, "Five thousand, second prince, this is already a quarter of my military strength, and it can't be more." ”
"Five thousand is five thousand, Hu Sha'an, the whole army, let's go!"
Dingyuan Fortress, Boyan was very annoyed, the general Bru died at the head of the city, and now the head is still hanging high at the head of Dingyuan City, and Guan Xinglong's night attack burned a lot of his baggage, so that his siege momentum had to stop, looking at the continuous rain outside the tent, but he didn't know how to vent the anger in his heart.
"Banner Master!" A general strode into the tent, "Fifty miles away from my camp, I found a large number of Dingzhou cavalry, which was rushing towards us. ”
"Dingzhou cavalry?" Boyan stood up, "How many people, where did they come from?" ”
"About 10,000 people, coming from the direction of Zhenyuan Fortress."
Boyan pondered for a moment, "Dingzhou has always avoided fighting with us, why is there a large number of cavalry coming from the direction of Zhenyuan at this time, is there any news from Sushun?" ”
The general shook his head: "Our contact with the direction of Zhenyuan has been completely cut off at present, I don't know what the situation is over there?" ”
"The left wing of the camp is on guard, don't act rashly, and see what these Dingzhou people want to do first." Boyan said, "Beat the drum and convene the generals to discuss the matter." ”
The two cavalry battalions of the Qi Nian Division led by Shang Haibo, plus the 2,000 cavalry of Feng Guopan's battalion, stopped when they were ten miles away from Boyan and camped on the spot. On the one hand, he ordered a large number of scouts to sneak in the direction of Zhenyuan, trying to find out the exact news, and on the other hand, he sent people to report to the Long Xiaojun of Naben, asking the Long Xiaojun to approach him.
After doing this, Boyan tilted his defensive focus to the left flank, and Boyan did not want to risk attacking until he found out the details of the enemy.
It was night, the direction of the Dingzhou army was frightened overnight, every other time, the camp was brightly lit, the war drums shook the sky, and it seemed that they would rush out of the camp to attack at any time, but whenever Boyan was ready, the opposite side would die down and be silent. Several attacks overnight, so that the Boyan Department is exhausted, the fourth watch, the Dingzhou camp once again drums shook the sky, this time except for the left wing of the troops, the entire camp no longer cared, took care of their own head and fell asleep, sure enough, the thunder and rain of the Dingzhou soldiers after beating a drum, and once again fell silent. There was not the slightest sign of going out of the city to fight.
"Tired Soldiers!" Boyan sneered: "Such a pediatric combat technique, I dare to use it again and again. After really despising the other party's main general, he also climbed onto the soft couch and went to sleep by himself.
Ling Cheng, when it was about to dawn, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the rain finally stopped, Shang Haibo stood on the command platform, looked at the Boyan camp opposite, and said with a smile: "It's almost, give me a drum." The drum sounded again, but this time, the barbarian battalion on the opposite side did not react in the slightest, and Shang Haibo laughed, "It's done, the attack of the big boss will start soon!" ”
Before the words fell, the ground seemed to tremble, it was the amazing effect caused by tens of thousands of war horses galloping at the same time, Shang Haibo tried his best to open his eyes wide, wanting to penetrate the night and see the two battalions of cavalry of Li Qing on the right wing of Boyan. At this time, his 12,000 cavalry were also ready to go, and the cavalrymen who had slept all night were in good spirits and ready to attack at any time.
When the ground trembled, Boyan got up from the bed and said loudly, "Has the enemy started attacking?" Prepare to fight back, fight back! ”
A general rushed into the tent and said in a trembling voice: "Patriarch, the enemy is from our right flank and has broken through the right flank camp. ”
"What?" Boyan was suddenly petrified to the ground. "What about the left flank, what about the Dingzhou cavalry on the left flank?"
"The Dingzhou cavalry on the left flank has come out of the camp and lined up, and the first to attack is on our right flank."
Boyan Khan rained down, and at this time he already understood that the cavalry of Dingzhou had poured out, and the target was himself.
