Chapter 219: I Can Fight Back
Yi Feng's plan was to wait for work to ambush, and in the face of tens of thousands of Tiele cavalry, he was not willing to fight that kind of hard-fought battle. The battle plan was very simple, Yi Feng laid an ambush in advance by the Raole River, while Oga Oro led the pursuers of the servant bones and Ba Yegu into the ambush circle of the coalition army, and then it was naturally the praying mantis catching the cicada, and the yellow finch was behind.
It's a very simple strategy, but it's very practical. As Yi Feng expected, after three days of patient waiting, Lu Luo finally arrived at Yi Feng's preset battlefield with a large tribal convoy, the frozen Raole River. Although this team also brought together several Khitan tribesmen and horses along the way, they still suffered heavy losses under the tactics of the Tiele wolf pack, and when they arrived at the preset battlefield, although there were still more than 40,000 men and horses, there were old and weak women and children, and people were tired and tired. At this time, they were generally pessimistic, feeling that under the endless pursuit of the Tielers, they would collapse sooner or later.
The coalition forces had been waiting for news here for many days, and Elo had only told a few people, and the news was kept strictly secret. When the Mokai arrived here with more than 40,000 horses and horses, it was calm, with nothing but snow and the howling mountain wind. In three days, the traces of the coalition forces were buried in the past. Many Khitans didn't know that when the sky was getting dark and Luo gave the order to camp, the entire 40,000-strong Han and Xi coalition troops were hidden in several rivers and valleys next to this pre-planned battlefield.
Many Khitans don't know, and the Tiele people, who have been following the Khitans, don't know.
They had long regarded that Khitan tribe as a piece of fat shaking in their mouths, and they couldn't think of it at all. There will be a Han army going hundreds of miles north all the way, and it has already annihilated the more powerful Wanqi Tongluo cavalry, let alone imagined. This Han army also contacted the Xi people and went straight to the north, where they had been waiting for them for a long time.
The piece of Khitan fat in their eyes has already become a tempting bait on a death trap.
Wang Fubao reported to Yi Feng that the Dila had set up a large camp on the preset battlefield, and less than twenty miles behind the Khitans, the Tiele people were approaching. The two cavalry divisions of Servant Bone and Bayegu were about 20,000 people. This number exceeded the original information, but the Mo Hui who quietly rushed to the Yi Feng camp to contact Yi Feng told that there were still about 8,000 horsemen in the two divisions of Servant Gu and Bayegu. The remaining 10,000 horsemen were their servants after defeating the Ha tribe.
This Mobei army of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses did not hide their whereabouts at all, and followed behind the Khitans with a swagger, and there was no front army or rear army, just lined up in a long line. Yi Feng was very happy to hear the news. The coalition forces were also very excited. The Tiele people were careless about their enemies. Doomed to pay a heavy price, just like the Tongluo people. Now more than 6,000 heads of the Tongluo people have been cut off and piled up into Jingguan, and the headless corpses are inserted high on the top of the stakes to let the violent corpses be left in the wilderness, and there are more than 3,000 left, all of whom have become prisoners of the Wuzhou army, and now all of them have become the hard labor of the Wuzhou army, braving the cold to build cities and forts between the mountains and rivers in the west of the Xi people. Now these servants are just as brainless as the Bayegu people.
The 40,000 allied troops remained quietly hidden in the valley. The Khitans were also camped with apprehension under the concealment of a few informed leaders such as Duluo.
In the snow and ice. This preset battlefield is not wide. In fact, this is a battlefield carefully selected by Yi Feng, the terrain here is relatively narrow, on both sides of the frozen Raole River, several hills and valleys converge, making this a narrow corridor, and there are also several rolling hills on the side, and several river valleys. In general, it's nothing. But at this time, there were already 40,000 coalition troops and more than 10,000 people hidden in the valley on both sides, and under the careful design, this place became a death trap.
The Khitan people untied the carts one by one, formed a large circle, locked the cars with chains, and then worked tirelessly to dig up the thick snow outside the car, dig a circle ditch on the hard frozen soil, and use the excavated soil to build a breast wall outside the ditch, and then began to plant sharp wooden stakes and set up cabinet horses
The detective reported to Bayoling and the Servant Leopard that the Khitans had begun to set up camp, and the two just laughed disdainfully.
When night fell, only ten miles of Tiele stopped advancing across the Khitan camp, they were like those days before, after the Khitans set up camp, they also began to camp not far away, lighting fires to cook, killing cattle and sheep, shouting and drinking, and then there were many scouts and scouts boldly approaching the Khitan camp, presumptuous
As always.
It's just that in the middle of the night, the Tiele people didn't sleep tonight.
As soon as the leaders of the two tribal armies gave an order, they suddenly launched a night attack on the Khitan camp. The cavalry were ready to go, and in the first half of the night they were well fed and fed to the horses, and rested for half a day. Unlike the previous attacks on the camp, this time, the leaders of the two divisions gave a clear order, tonight, they will take the Khitan camp in one fell swoop with the Khitans.
The vibration of the galloping cavalry group had already awakened the vigilant Khitan guards, and in the sound of horses' hooves, the frightened Khitan guard mission sounded the alarm.
In the Khitan Chinese military camp tent, Luo Luo and dozens of officers were already wearing armor and quietly waiting for this moment to come. Even if the Tiele people don't attack the camp tonight, they won't pull out the camp tomorrow, they will set up a frame here and make a posture of fighting the Tiele people to the death.
He stood up violently, and the sound of the sirens outside not only did not make him half frightened, but filled him with excitement.
"It's finally here!" He held the hilt of his sword.
"Enemy attack!" A centurion on duty rushed into the tent and shouted in terror, "The Tielers have raided!" But what he saw was excited faces, a little confused.
Tara shouted: "The soldiers are coming, the soil is flooding, blowing the trumpet, picking up the guys, and fighting with these wolf cubs!" β
The Tiele people came very quickly, and the Khitan car formation they had attacked several times, although it was a little hard, but as long as they were willing to pay the casualties in battle, it was not a problem. From the very beginning, the Tiele people were already attacking with all their might, and the servants of the Mist were driven to the forefront at this time. They rode horses, carried torches, and quickly approached. Then throw torches at the Khitan camp and immediately release arrows.
Under this fierce offensive, the fighting soon came to a fever pitch, with heavy casualties on both sides. However, for the time being, there is one less dead on the Khitan side, and on Tiele's side, the dead ones are basically the Xiaoren. More Tiele people were pressing in the rear at this time, firing arrows from a distance, just waiting for the people to break through a gap for them. Then they rushed in with their knives in hand.
As soon as the battle began, Yi Feng already knew. However, Yi Feng did not immediately reinforce the Khitan camp, and he had already told the Mohui before, asking him to sue SΓΉ Luo. If the Tiele people attack the camp. Then they have to find a way to hold on to themselves, even if the Tiele people don't plan to attack with all their might, they have to show some flaws, so that the Tiele people feel that they can take the camp with no more effort. Only after the Tiele people began to put all their soldiers and horses into the attack would Yi Feng begin to attack and encircle.
On the hill, under the bleak moonlight, I looked at the little fire in the snow ahead, and the tragic tearing and killing. While giving orders, let the ministries continue to be on standby.
In the dark. Xu Deyan looked at the blazing Khitan camp and said to Yi Feng: "The Khitan people are afraid that they won't last long." β
"Wait!" Yi Feng said calmly. The Khitan camp has not yet been broken, and the Tiele people have not yet been fully invested. Since he bothered to set this trap, Yi Feng certainly hoped that he would be able to wipe out these Tiele people once and for all. If you go out too early, you may let some of the Tiele people escape.
In the shouting of killing, the Khitan camp was tense for another hour, and then finally could not support it and began to be breached.
"The fence to the north is broken!" Xu Deyan reminded again.
Soon, several horses under the mountain rushed to the mountain, and the motorcycle would quickly dismount and rush to Yi Feng, "The camp fence has been broken, please send troops immediately!" β
Yi Feng stared at the bottom of the mountain, and as the Tiele people opened a gap, the Khitan camp finally couldn't withstand more blows, and more and more gaps appeared. The Tieler let out a roar of excitement, rushing through the breach like a tidal wave breaking the embankment, and more Tiele people moved.
At this time, Yi Feng finally nodded, and the time had come.
"Blow the horn, attack, close the circle. Don't let a single Tiele man go! β
Like a ghost that suddenly appeared in the night, the Hanxi coalition army, which had been waiting for a long time, finally got the order to attack. Suddenly, more than 40,000 allied troops suddenly slaughtered from the valleys on both sides of the battlefield, and they whispered, without horns, drums, or torches. Just like that, silently but thunderously, he fought out of the valley. At the forefront were 15,000 Xi cavalry, followed by three Wuzhou cavalry battalions, and more than 20,000 war horses carried these powerful cavalry to the battlefield.
Immediately after them came two tank battalions, one to the north and one to the south, and each tank battalion was followed by two infantry battalions, who did not pay any attention to the battlefield and went directly to the north and south sides of the battlefield in accordance with the predetermined battle plan. After arriving at the predetermined location, the drivers of the chariot battalion quickly untied their horses, and then chained the chariots one by one, and quickly erected the first line of defense of the chariot formation. Then the sappers and civilians of the engineering regiment began to carry out rapid civil engineering operations with shovels and iron bills, digging piles and burying walls
The heavy infantry were already lined up in front of the chariot array, followed by a spear formation, left and right with sword and shield formations, crossbowmen on the chariots, and dense longbowmen behind the chariots.
While the charioteers, infantry, and sappers and artillerymen were busy and busy, the cavalry had finally come out of the darkness and stabbed the Tiele man in the back.
Before the Tiele cavalry, who were immersed in breaking through the Khitan camp, had no time to be happy, they were stabbed by the Xi Han cavalry who suddenly killed and were full of chrysanthemum wounds. Wave after wave of Han Xi cavalry came from all sides, and the offensive was endless, half of the Tiele people had already entered the Khitan camp, and the other half had already lost their formation, so they were caught off guard and turned to defeat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, and they didn't know where to come out of this army, they began to flee in a panic, but they didn't run far, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in the snow in front of them, and then, suddenly the whistle sounded, and then the arrows rained down, and the defeated soldiers of Tiele who rushed to the front suddenly dodged and were hit by arrows, and for a while people turned on their backs.
At this time, they finally found that their retreat was blocked.
In front of the mobile fortress of chariots, in front of the heavy infantry helmets and swords, in front of the crossbowmen hidden in the chariots, in front of the dense longbow array behind the chariot, in front of the spears and iron shields, their impact was as weak as a mayfly shaking a tree.
It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake this army! The moment that the commander of Baye Gu, who fell in front of the formation, led hundreds of horses to charge the formation and failed, and fell with arrows all over his body, he roared angrily and helplessly. With his fall, the battle finally came to an end, the two Tiele soldiers and horses who were careless and arrogant finally had to swallow the bitter fruit of their own brewing, under the siege of the coalition forces, in the end, none of the Tiele people could escape from the battlefield, they either died or surrendered, and no one was spared!
