Chapter Ninety-Nine: King Qin's Weakness (2)
"Bang Bang ”!
The rapid and dense alarm bell sounded throughout this rebel army camp that stretched for dozens of miles.
Because of Liu Qing's ingenious calculation, the real elite Baishui Army generals in the rebel army were dispersed to the camps of the vassal kings to reorganize the army, which directly led to Fei's 20,000 cavalry like a tiger entering the flock, running rampant, continuously breaking through and suppressing the camps of the various vassal armies, and directly aiming the direction of the march to the base camp of the Baishui Army of Li Shen, the king of Qin.
"Phew!"
In the midst of the chaos, a general of the Zhou army tightened the reins of his horse, frowned and glanced at the battlefield that was still fighting in the distance.
After the defeat and death of Li Yan, the king of Chu, Liu Qing replaced the eldest grandson Xiangyu as the military division of the Zhou army, and strengthened the Fei ** and Ma Dan army as the two wings of the division, therefore, Li Jing and his old partner Su Xin returned to the command of Fei Guo, this long-distance attack on the rebel army's dozens of miles of company camp, Li Jing and Su Xin were the two of them as the general of ten thousand cavalry, that is, the general who commanded the battle of ten thousand cavalry.
In all fairness, Li Jing and Su Xin's personal martial arts are not good, so that Tang Hao, Ma Dan, Ou Peng, Zhang Dong, these original generals have gradually climbed to higher military positions than them, especially Ma Dan, who is almost equal to Fei Guo, who is the commander of the Jizhou Army, and has become the deputy general of the coach Xie An, and the general of the two wings.
But having said that, Li Jing and Su Xin were originally born in Jizhou soldiers, although their martial arts are far inferior to Fei Guo, Liao Li, Ma Dan and other front-line brave generals in the Jizhou army, but when it comes to flexibly commanding cavalry battles, they have their own set of methods.
Powerful generals, the main generals on the local battlefield, can bring pressure to the enemy army and expand their own victory, and cannot be like a fierce general who is invincible at a critical juncture, and can not curb the morale of the enemy army at the necessary moment, nor can he think about the war from the strategic level to obtain the greatest strategic advantage with the smallest tactical losses like the commander of the first army.
But it is undeniable that the generals are the most active on the battlefield, after all, monsters like Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Wu, and Array Thunder are after all the brilliant feats of a very small number of ordinary troops, and they still have to be fought by a large number of Xiao generals in the army to lead their soldiers to fight with a knife and a gun.
"Report! Just now, General Su Xin broke the army of the Mianyang Wang, personally killed the rebel king, and marched towards the next camp・・・・・・ General Su Xin asked our army to march with it! A light cavalry colonel hurried to Li Jing's side on horseback and respectfully conveyed to him the news about Su Xin.
"......" Li Jing frowned when he heard this.
The 20,000 cavalry were divided into two divisions, and the two-pronged and simultaneous advance was a tactic that he and Su Xin had discussed earlier, because this could not only cover each other, but also make the rebels take care of each other.
In fact, Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Legion of the White Water Army, was indeed dizzy by Li Jing and Su Xin's hand, so he hurriedly asked Li Shen, the king of Qin, for help and asked for additional generals, after all, Huang Shou only had one person, blocking Li Jing would miss Su Xin, and blocking Su Xin would miss Li Jing, so he Huang Shou couldn't be split from it as two people, right?
However, this tactic has a fatal weakness, and that is mobility.
It is undeniable that Li Jing and Su Xin's tricks were actually stolen from Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, the four generals of the Eastern Army, after all, Xiang Qing and Luo Chao are the fierce generals who are best at using this tactic to lead the cavalry of the Eastern Army to harass and even divide the enemy army, and the personal martial arts of the two of them can even be compared with Fei Guo, unless they encounter enemy generals at the level of Liang Qiuhao, Zhen Lei, Yang Yu, and Wu Heng, it is difficult for the general army to block these two sharp blades of the Eastern Army.
However, the problem is that he, Li Jing and Su Xin, are not Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, and the cavalry of the Jizhou Army under his command is far inferior to the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, so there is an embarrassing situation that Su Xin has conquered the enemy camp where he is and is preparing to march towards the next destination, but Li Jing is still blocked in place.
You know, if this tactic can't go hand in hand and can't work with each other, it's far more effective than twisting all the cavalry together.
And at this moment, a partial general in the distance hurriedly came to report the battle situation, which made Li Jing really relieved.
"Report! The enemy generals in this battalion have all been killed, and our army has taken the gate! ――Within the siege of the Ping Domain, Li Hao, the king of the soldiers and horses and the king of Deyang, fled to the north of the camp with dozens of personal guards, and did not have time to chase ......"
"If you can't catch up・・・・・・ then you have to chase!" With a wave of his hand, Li Jing said in a deep voice, "You don't have to pay attention to the remnants of the defeated army, set fire to the camp, within half a pillar of incense, our army will catch up with General Su Xin's Qu Department!" ”
To tell the truth, the head of the rebellious vassal king is still quite attractive to Li Jing, after all, it is a rebellious vassal king, which is enough for him to be promoted to two levels of martial arts and get a rich reward, but unfortunately, the current situation does not allow Li Jing to lead troops to chase after Li Hao, the king of Deyang. If his Qu Department distanced itself from Su Xin, then Su Xin's Qu Department would become a lone army, and it was very likely to bury the current good situation, and lead to the annihilation of Su Xin's Qu Department.
You must know that the real elite of the rebel army, the White Water Army under the command of King Qin has not been dispatched so far.
"Yes!" The partial general hugged his fists and took the order, conveyed Li Jing's general order to his subordinates, and then in the half-pillar incense, Li Jingqu's department finally caught up with Su Xin's progress.
Su Xin and Li Jing, the two 10,000-strong cavalry led by these two Zhou army generals, like two sharp blades, stabbed the rebel army, a huge camp like a giant beast, to the heart. Although Li Shen, the king of Qin, was pale when he learned of the battle, he could not do anything about it at all, and it was not until the generals of the Baishui Army sent abroad returned to their base camp that the situation improved a little.
But no matter what, the participation of the White Water Army in the war finally reversed the momentum of the Zhou army! Needless to say, compared to the elite of the White Water Army, the armies of the vassal kings in various places are simply a rabble.
"Urgent! General Chu Liang died in battle! ”
A light cavalry of the Zhou army reported the latest news of the battle to Li Jing, only to hear the latter's stunned.
You must know that Chu Liang is his Li Jing's deputy general, a general who has the ability to command 5,000 soldiers and horses, and is quite powerful, and because of Chu Liang and another deputy general as the vanguard, Li Jing can command his subordinates with peace of mind, so that the army is consistent with Su Xin.
But unexpectedly, the vanguard officer was beheaded by the enemy general・・・・・・
"Who? - Who killed the vanguard general of our army? Li Jing frowned and asked.
"According to the identity of the enemy general, he is the commander of the Third Army of the White Water Army, Fu Ao! - This person killed General Chu Liang in five moves, and his martial arts are extremely strong! ”
"Five moves?" Li Jingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, with his understanding of Chu Liang, he was afraid that there were only a few people in the Jizhou army who could kill Chu Liang within five moves, such as Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liao Li, and Ou Peng, and even he Li Jing couldn't do it.
Just when Li Jing was secretly frightened, another light horse came and told Li Jing another bad news.
"Urgent! General Yang Jin died in battle! ”
"Yang Jin・・・・・・" Li Jing's face changed slightly, because this general Yang Jin was another deputy pioneer officer under his command.
"At whose hands did he die?" Li Jing asked urgently.
"It's the commander of the Third Army of the White Water Army, Fu Ao! ――Three swords killed General Yang Jin! ”
"Three Swords・・・・・・" Li Jing's head was a little sweaty, after all, he knew very well that although his martial arts were higher than Chu Liang and Yang Jin, the gap was not very big, in other words, if it was him Li Jing who bumped into that Fu Ao, I am afraid that there would only be a dead end.
The South Zheng Baishui Army of Hanzhong is worthy of being the descendants of the Qin King Li Shen, and as soon as the commander of the third army appeared, he beheaded two brave generals of our army, this martial art, I am afraid it can be compared with Fei Shuai......
It's a pity that I wanted to see if I could take advantage of the camp of King Li Shen of Qin, but I didn't get any benefits, but I broke Chu Liang and Yang Jin・・・・・・
Tut!
Gritting his teeth, Li Jing immediately shouted, "Pass the order, the whole army will change the direction of the breakthrough, and pass by the base camp of the Baishui Army of King Qin!" - Try to avoid engaging with the White Water! ”
"Yes!"
Because he saw the force of Fu Ao, the commander of the Third Army of the White Water Army, Li Jingdang dispelled the tempting idea of wanting to enter the base camp of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and led the cavalry under his command to sweep past the side of Li Shen's base camp and attack a vassal army camp behind him.
On the other hand, Su Xinqu's department also encountered a similar encounter to Li Jing, the two pioneers would be killed one by one by Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army of the White Water Army, and it was extremely easy.
Su Xin, who was frightened into a cold sweat, hurriedly changed the direction of his advance, and swept past the other side of the base camp of Li Shen, the king of Qin, like Li Jing. It's no wonder that flexibility is at the center of the tactics they use, and to put it bluntly, they try to kill and damage relatively weak enemy forces as much as possible to ensure that they have absolute superiority in strength and morale.
Unfortunately, Li Shen, the king of Qin, obviously would not sit idly by and watch Su Xin and Li Jing expand the results of the battle so unscrupulously, and immediately ordered the White Water Army to launch an offensive against the cavalry of the Zhou army, so that in a single stick of incense, the 20,000 cavalry of the Zhou army was sharply reduced by 3,000 people, which was more than the combined number of troops lost by Su Xin and Li Jing when they attacked those vassal kings' camps before.
"The White Water Army ・・・・・・ so fucking strong!" Su Xin, who was frustrated by the momentum of the charge, secretly cursed, looked back left and right and said, "Send a signal, withdraw!" ”
The left and right henchmen nodded, and with a strong bow in hand, they shot three rockets into the sky.
"General, the Su Xin Department has sent a signal to retreat!" A general under Li Jing's command noticed the three rockets in the sky before dawn and hurriedly reminded his general of the incident.
"Are you going to withdraw? ――It seems that the situation on Su Xin's side is also roughly similar to that of our army..." muttered, Li Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Fu Ao, the commander of the Third Legion of the White Water Army, really brought him a lot of pressure.
"Withdraw!"
With an order, Li Jing's Qubu cavalry turned around in a small circle and killed them along the way they came.
"Huh?" As if noticing the abnormal movements of the cavalry of the Zhou Army, Fu Ao, the commander of the Third Legion of the White Water Army, frowned slightly, and suddenly said after half a sound, "I see!" ――It seems that Zhou Jun has no intention of fighting our army to the death this time...... Do you want to take advantage of it and leave? ”
"General, are you chasing?" A general asked.
Fu Ao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness has issued an order, you don't need to chase after the Zhou army too much, just drive it back!" -- After this, our troops withdrew from the camp and set up camp sixty miles back to the northwest! ”
"Evacuate ・・・・・・ sixty miles?" The partial general was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked with an incomprehensible expression, "Why did the prince evacuate this place?" ”
Nonsense, didn't you see that our army was disrupted by the hand of the Zhou army? Naturally, we have to retreat and regroup our troops!
Glancing at the general, Fu Ao said in a deep voice, "This is His Highness's order!" - Okay, our army will follow the Li Jingqu department, recruit the vassal king's army along the way, and collect as many as you want, so you don't have to fight with the Zhou army! ”
“…… Be! ”
"But then again, Your Highness is too cautious, even if it really starts, it doesn't necessarily mean that our army will be inferior・・・・・・" Glancing at the direction where Li Jing was, Fu Ao frowned slightly and muttered a few words in a low voice.
"What? -- Did the military say anything? ”
"No, it's nothing......" Fu Ao shook his head slightly.
On the other hand, Huang Shou, the commander of the second army of the White Water Army, did not chase after Su Xin desperately, so Su Xin and Li Jing took the sneak attack to victory, and killed them again in a beautiful manner, while the White Water Army was far away! Behind them, it was not so much to drive Li Jing and Su Xin as to gather the defeated troops of the vassal king.
Finally, Li Jing and Su Xin returned to the place where Fei Guo and Di Bu were, and at this time, Fei Guo and Di Bu had not yet decided the victory or defeat with the general of the White Water Army.
"Bell!"
A halberd suppressed Fei Guo's spear and thunder glanced at the cavalry of the Zhou army who had returned the same way, and said strangely, "Such a good time, don't you take advantage of the situation to attack my Baishui army base camp?" ”
"You must have been beaten back, right?" While fighting with the thunder, Fei Guo said with a smile, "Li Jing has a steady temperament, Su Xinna is a master who is used to taking advantage of others, if you want him to withdraw his troops obediently, he must have suffered a loss on your side of the White Water Army, right?" - If it goes well, that kid will already attack your Whitewater base camp! As he spoke, he took a deep breath and took a few steps back with a sharp remark.
"This is leaving? I haven't had enough yet! Waving the halberd in his hand, Thunder looked at Fei Guo and said in a deep voice.
"I can't help it, who told our army that the vanguard generals on both sides were frustrated? Now is not the time to fight to the death with your army, since you have taken advantage of it, you naturally have to take it when you see it, so as not to be able to withdraw when you get it......" Shrugging his shoulders, Fei Guo said with a chuckle, after speaking, he glanced at the thunder and said in an inexplicable tone, "How about postponing this unfinished battle?" ”
Although Fei Guo seemed very relaxed when he spoke, in fact, he was secretly wary in his heart, after all, he and Di Bu knew very well that the thunder in front of them might not have used their true skills so far.
Matching, this guy is competing with him Fei Guo and Di Bu in the way of matching moves from beginning to end, similar to the way that the master and apprentice use to learn, so that he and Di Bu are very happy, but they can't hurt the monster in front of him at all.
"It's a pity! It would be nice to have another half an hour......" Looking at Fei Guo and Di Bu, who were sweating slightly, a hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally, he sighed slightly, put away his halberd, nodded and said, "A fierce general like you two will definitely make my generation enjoy the fun of fighting." It would be a pity to kill both of you in a hurry・・・・・・" As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and left with the cavalry of the White Water Army left behind.
“… Seeing the back of the thunderbolt turning away, Dibu wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and whispered strangely, "Should I say that the two of us escaped?" ”
"Maybe・・・・・・" Fei Guo smiled bitterly, not only Di Bu knew the true meaning of Thunder Fang's words.
It's very simple, in half an hour, Fei Guo and Di Bu will be gradually forced out of their full strength by the thunderstorm, and in the case of the thunderstorm, they will reach the peak stage of their personal strength at the moment.
"Is that guy really human?" Dibu said in surprise.
"Huh! If Brother Dibu, you had seen Liang Qiuhao's force, you would probably not have said this......" In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he was almost killed by Liang Qiuhao, Fei Guo smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Fortunately, at least this person still has the strength to fight・・・・・・"
Sure enough, there are a lot of monsters in this world, but if you have seen Chen Shuai・・・・・・ well, if you have seen Liang Qiuhao, no matter what kind of monster you encounter, you will no longer feel so shocked......
Recalling the ashes of Liang Qiuhao placed in Xie Anshuai's tent, Fei Guochang sighed, after all, he always revered Liang Qiuhao, even if the latter almost killed him with a knife.
"Let's go, Brother Dib! -- It's time to withdraw, take advantage of it, and withdraw! ”
"Hmm!"
At the same time, in the commander of the southern camp of the Zhou army, Ji Liu Qing in the sky still couldn't resist Xie An's questioning after all, and told Xie An the real plan, only to hear Xie An's surprise.
"Are Tang Hao and Liao Li just bait? ――Fei Guo's partial division is the real surprise attack soldiers? Glancing at Liu Qing in surprise, Xie An nodded and said, "Yes!" Right! Even if Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, is good at using troops, he can't stop Fei Guo without a fierce general...... When Li Yan, the king of Chu, was still there, Fei Guo just had no intention of fighting with Li Bo, so he maintained a five-five situation! -- Leave Ou Peng to drag Li Bo and ask Fei Guo's 20,000 cavalry to attack Li Shen's camp, if Li Shen is really in a hurry to collect the defeated army of the vassal king, as you said, then our army will have a great advantage ・・・・・・in this battle! With that, Xie An turned his head to look at Liu Qing and asked suspiciously, "Why do you conclude that Li Shen will immediately send his generals to collect the defeated army of the vassal king?" ”
Liu Qing said lightly when he heard this, "The more cautious people are, the more they know what it means to have long nights and dreams, and not all of the princes of the vassal army are stupid, after thinking about it carefully, they should also be able to think that Li Shen deliberately led Tang Hao and Liao Li to their side, since this is the case, Li Shen naturally wants to control the vassal army as soon as possible before those princes react!" - When the wood becomes a boat and the rice becomes a cook, even if those princes are shocked, they can't help Li Shen! ”
"Well, that makes sense!" Xie An nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly frowned and asked, "By the way, you said that your real intention was to force Li Shen to retreat, how can you conclude that Li Shen will not be ruthless and fight with Fei Guo and Ma Dan?" ”
"No, it won't!" Shaking his head, Liu Qing said with a determined face, "He has a cautious and steady personality, he doesn't dare to bet, even if there is only a one-tenth chance of defeat, he doesn't dare to bet!" -- This is Li Shen's most fatal weakness! ”
