Chapter 289: Scheme

At this time, Agul reminded on the side: "Your Highness, don't forget, Qin Dong's three thousand guards and iron cavalry have arrived on the north shore and are stationed next to the Moduo battalion, and the combat effectiveness of these three thousand iron cavalry cannot be underestimated!" ”

Enek snorted, "So what? Could it be that his 3,000 iron horsemen can beat ten by one person? There are 20,000 heroes here in this king, no matter what kind of iron horse he has, one will charge over, even if it is one, it will be bulldozed! ”

Enek is purely angry, belonging to the kind of dead duck with a hard mouth, obviously a little worried, but he is not convinced, and he does not admit defeat on the surface, it is really a little immature.

However, the military advisor Agul did not care about this, and he persuaded: "Your Highness, why bother? Even if the number of the three thousand iron horsemen is small, there are three thousand, right? His Royal Highness led a large army to kill him, and they resisted desperately and stubbornly, which will bring great casualties to our army! No matter what they are doing now, if they want to cross the river, let them cross the river, after crossing the river, they can't go far, they can only spend the night in the small town of Viding, as long as it freezes in the middle of the night, we will immediately cross the river from the ice to surround the town of Viding, none of them can escape, if they are tricky, wouldn't we be killed by them now? So, no matter what they are doing, we ignore it, just wait for the river to freeze in the second half of the night and we will cross the river and attack the town of Weiding, even if they are still in the camp on the north bank of the river and have not moved, but all their grain and grass should be in the town of Weiding, we have robbed their grain and grass, burned the town of Weiding, blocked their retreat, they will definitely be like lost dogs, when we are full of food and drink and then pursue at full speed, how can they outrun us with hunger? It was only a matter of time before He was wiped out by His Highness. Maybe you can capture Qin Dong alive, if you catch Qin Dong, then the territory that belongs to Qin Dong will belong to His Highness in an instant! ”

The first part of this statement is well analyzed. Enek was immediately full of confidence, and the next few words made Enek itch and feel overwhelmed, and Enek was very happy, and immediately rewarded Agul with a large amount of gold, silver, cattle and sheep, and Agul accepted all of his gratitude.

The night is getting deeper and the temperature is dropping quickly. It was about ten o'clock in the evening when all of Modo's 9,000 cavalry crossed the river via the pontoon bridge, and by this time the river had begun to freeze, after all of Modo's army had withdrawn. Batu also disappeared without a trace with his 3,000 Iron Cavalry Guards.

Gramada, where the 1st Regiment was stationed.

Qin Dong had already arrived here for three hours, and this place was only thirty miles away from the town of Vidin, but it was not easy to discover that there was a legion hidden here in this weather.

The commander of the First Army will be Su He. This Xiongnu strong man who first followed Qin Dong was loyal. His meticulous executioner Qin Dong's every order, every time he made a decision, he was unswervingly in support of Qin Dong, and his deputy commander was a Skir general named Malik, and the reason why he appointed a Malik, a general from Skil, as Su He's deputy was to give Su He the greatest autonomy, although Qin Dong repeatedly declared that all ethnic groups were equal under his rule. But in fact, in all industries, official and military, the Huns are superior. This is the spontaneous formation of the people's hearts, stained with the light of Qin Dong, and the status of the Han people under his rule is also higher than that of some ethnic groups, so Malik, as a deputy, has a pitiful restraint on Su He in view of his own status.

Qin Dong looked at a map on the table under the oil lamp, and at this time, Su He walked in with all his armor and the hilt of his sword in his hand and saluted: "King, Modo sent someone to send a message that all his men and horses have entered the town of Viding, and Batu has also disappeared with three thousand guards and iron horses!" ”

Qin Dong raised his head and asked, "Hmm, what time is it now?" ”

"It's about eleven o'clock!"

"Prepare to march towards the town of Vidin, send out scout cavalry to investigate the situation ahead, and report back as soon as you find that the town of Vidin is besieged by the army of Enek! In addition, send someone to order Darba, the commander of the Fourth Legion, and Duoyin, the commander of the Sixth Legion, so that they can lead the army to slowly move closer to the town of Viding, but not too fast," Qin Dong ordered the guards while packing up the map.

"Yes!" Su He agreed, flicked his cloak and walked out of the big tent.

Qin Dong calculated that Enek would definitely obey the advice of his military Agul, and wait until the river froze in the middle of the night before attacking the town of Viding, so he would now order the Fourth and Sixth Army Corps to slowly approach the town of Vidin. Sometimes it's more interesting and easier to fight wits with smart people, on the contrary, it's not easy to fight wits with blunt people, the brain is not very flexible, and the people who don't react quickly are basically people with a tendon, thinking of a play is a play, completely according to the preference or the situation to make a decision, there is no sign and habit to follow, it is more difficult to guess, but for people who like to use their brains, their way of thinking is regular and characteristic, and it is easier to guess their inner thoughts.

When the three-way army on Qindong's side was slowly advancing towards the small town of Viding, in the camp of Enek, which was located more than twenty miles northeast of Calafate, Enek got a report from Tanma that the river was frozen!

For Enek, the time was finally ripe for his troops, and he immediately ordered his whole army to prepare to cross the river from Segall, twenty miles away, the wide beach and gentle terrain of Segar, which was the best place for cavalry to cross the river, and the water here was shallower than other sections, even if the ice was split and the men and horses fell, it would be easy to rescue.

An hour later, Enek arrived at the river with an army of 20,000 men, and sent people down to investigate, but the river was indeed frozen, and it was not easy to break with a sword, and there was nothing to do with men and horses standing on it.

After Enek, who was riding a horse at the front, went down to the ice of the riverbed, the war horse suddenly slipped and almost fell, which made Enek break out in a cold sweat, and at the same time scared the military Agul and several other generals behind him half to death, if something happened to Enek at this time, then these people will be left with a mess, and the future is uncertain waiting for them.

After being frightened by this, Enek simply stopped riding, he dismounted and said: "The horse riding on the ice is unstable, it is difficult to move, and the cavalry used to attack the town of Vidin has no effect, let everyone dismount and carry weapons and bows and crossbows and arrows, and slide towards the town of Vidin from the ice, leaving a thousand people behind to drive all the horses over!" ”

When Agul and several generals heard this, they also felt that this move was feasible, and it happened that many soldiers could not ride horses on the ice, and they were not stable on the ice, and they were easy to fall, so it was better to sit on the ice and slide all the way to the town of Vidin, which not only solved the problem of most soldiers walking unsteadily on the ice, but also accelerated the speed of the raid on the town of Vidin.

At this time, under a big tree by the river in the small town of Weiding on the south bank of the river, two black shadows squatted here motionless, just when one on the left couldn't help but want to yawn, one on the right reached out and patted the shoulder of the person on the left and whispered: "Cheer up, look, what is that?" ”

The man on the left looked up at the river when he heard this, and found that there were many black spots sliding from the upstream direction, and the river was much brighter after freezing, and the river was covered with snow on both sides, and the brightness was very high at night, but Enek's soldiers who were sliding towards the town of Victor noticed it.

The man on the right immediately said: "That's the enemy army, they are sliding from upstream, go and tell General Modo, I'm here to watch!" ”

"Okay, be careful, I'm leaving!" The man on the left immediately climbed ashore, turned over on a horse, and ran into the town.

At this time, on the north bank of the river, some people also noticed that a large number of black shadows appeared on the surface of the river, and these black shadows were either sitting or sliding quickly towards the opposite town of Vido, and a knight immediately turned over his horse and ran north.

It didn't take long for the knight to run into a wood, "General Batu, Enek has been tricked, he has already attacked the town of Vidin with his men and horses, because the ice is too slippery, they are not on horseback, they all slid to the town of Vidin either sitting or lying on their stomachs, and now they should have reached the outskirts of Vidin town!" ”

Hearing this, Batu immediately got up and said in a deep voice: "Order, everyone get on their horses, trot towards the river, prepare weapons to chisel through the ice on the river, hum, I want to see if Enek will break through this side when he finds himself surrounded, and when the time comes, the ice that has been chiseled through many places can bear the weight of his army, and go!" ”

By the river in the small town of Vidin, Enek got up from the ice, Wuzhu followed him closely, and a large number of soldiers all came to the shore from the river, and after Enek came ashore, he suddenly felt a little cold in his back, he felt as if he had forgotten something, he stopped and thought.

What is it? Enek couldn't think about it, and then Agul, who was shivering from the cold, followed him and saw him stop where he was, so he asked urgently: "Your Highness, what are you still thinking?" Since he has arrived here, he will immediately organize troops to attack the town of Weiding, regardless of whether there is Qin Dong's army inside, rush in and grab the grain and grass first! ”

"Wait, I seem to have forgotten something!" Enek pondered and meditated, and finally remembered him: "By the way, the original camp of Modo on the other side doesn't know what the situation is, immediately send someone to investigate, and go over the ice, if Modo's army is still there, we leave three thousand men and horses to block the river, and the others rush into the town of Viding, if that side is empty, it means that all of Modo's army has entered the town of Vidin, then there is no need to leave people behind." Everyone followed me into the town of Viding, snatched the things that everyone stook, killed all the people in the town, and left no one behind, and then we went around from Qin Dong's territory and went back, this time since we came, how could we let Qin Dong have a blood!
