(Thank you for your generous tip, thank you very much!) οΌ
Early in the morning, Yuwen Yubo opened the window, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning entered the room with the cold air. β Top Novel, www.
"Get up." She returned to the bedside, lifted the quilt, put those somewhat cold hands under Yi Feng's pajamas, pressed them on his thick chest, and felt the powerful heartbeat under the strong chest. Yi Feng was immediately awakened by this coldness, he reached out and hugged Yuwen Yubo to his chest, and kissed her on the lips, "Can't you let me sleep a little longer?" β
"But your generals have been waiting for you outside for a long time, and it seems that there is an important military report." Because he was far away from Jingshi and came to this place, Yuwen Yubo also completely abandoned those worries in the past, and now he is wholeheartedly immersed in the happy time with Yi Feng. The whole person also became brighter, and his eyes were full of happiness.
"Good news or bad news?" Hearing the military situation, Yi Feng suddenly reined in his thoughts, immediately let go of Yuwen Yubo, got up and sat up, and began to dress.
Yuwen Yubo shook his head, "The military situation is important, and I won't interfere with it, but I guess it's good news, because the person who came to report seems to be in a good mood." She laughs.
Yi Feng kissed Yuwen Yubo on the forehead again, "I won't accompany you to breakfast, you can use it yourself." β
Out of the house, Yi Feng walked to the front hall. Stepping into the front hall of the General's Mansion in the military capital, all the generals in the military capital have arrived. In addition, the horses, the scholars, and the housekeepers also came.
Zongzheng Siqing, Sikong, Deputy Marshal of the East Road Xingying, Yang Xiong, King of Qingzhang, Shangshu of the Military Department, Shi Su Xiaoci, Commander of the East Road Army, Zhishu Shiyu Shi, Sima Liu Xingben of the East Route Army, and Yang Zhuchen, the governor of Danzhou, and Li Min, the governor of Xuanzhou, also rushed to the military capital with soldiers and horses in Benzhou.
"His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson of the Army!" The people stood up and saluted.
"Sit down, everybody. Hear good news? Yi Feng waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and walked to the main seat of the head.
Li Mi immediately served Yi Feng a cup of freshly brewed steaming milk. There are also a few meat buns.
Liu Wenjing got up and reported to Yi Feng with joy on her face. "Back to Your Highness, it is indeed good news. His Royal Highness's newly appointed sixth battalion of the Eagle Yang Cavalry sent back the good news to the Longxiang general Li Jingfeige, and he led the sixth battalion to reinforce Huai'an on the way, and successfully raided and annihilated a Turkic ranger in the north of Huai'an, annihilating more than 200 enemies, capturing nearly 300 people, and capturing the brother of Nili Khan, the grandson of Daman Special Service, Ashina Poshi Special Service, and. After being persuaded to surrender, Poshi has surrendered. Also, after persuading Po Shi to surrender, Li Jing used Po Shi to recruit Po Shi to surrender Po Shi and guard a thousand horses to attach to the wolf ride. β
Yi Feng, who was eating meat buns, heard this, swallowed the buns in his mouth in three or two bites, and asked loudly, "You said that Li Jing has annihilated and captured a Turkic army of nearly 600 people, and persuaded an elite detachment of 1,000 wolf soldiers to surrender, and also persuaded Poshi, the son of Nili Khan, to surrender?" β
"Exactly." Liu Wenjing said with a smile.
Yi Feng slapped his palm on the table. Then he laughed, "Well done, Sanyuan Li Jing really deserves to know the soldiers, no wonder he was only a teenager back then." has already been praised by the pillar country Han Capture Tiger. What were the casualties of Li Jing's department? Yi Fengjia asked.
Liu Wenjing didn't need to look at his records at all, and replied directly: "Li Jing's sixth battalion has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and 17 were killed in battle. Seriously injured nine. β
"It's very small, it's almost nothing. A beautiful fight. Yi Feng praised it and did not hesitate. Even if there is only one battle, it is still three thousand raids and six hundred, but less than twenty battle deaths, and the battle loss ratio of more than one to ten, still makes Yi Feng have to praise, although Li Jing is the first time to really command the battle alone, he has fully revealed his ability. Originally, he was still worried that the historical god of war was still young after all, but now it seems that he is worried that it is redundant, Li Jing has been in charge of the training of the Huaihuang Cavalry for half a year, which is not long, but it has already achieved great results. not only trained the Huaihuang cavalry, but also sharpened himself.
The Huaihuang cavalry began to take shape, and Li Jing also began to emerge.
"Ashina Poshi, a big fish caught by accident, the second most powerful person in the country of Nili Khan, although the 50,000 soldiers and horses besieging Huai'an are the commanders of Daman, but Poshi has a very high prestige." The former Military Intelligence Office of the General's Mansion has been renamed the Military Intelligence Office of Taisun Mansion, and the head of the Intelligence Department remains unchanged, and Pei Zeng, the left envoy of the former Tiger Alliance, holds this important position. At this time, Pei Zeng reported to Yi Feng the importance of Poshi, the number two person in the country of Nili Khan, and even more powerful than Nili Khan's son Daman.
"It was a real bonus." Yi Feng couldn't help but stroke his short beard and smiled.
Liu Wenjing continued to report, "Li Jing also attached a request for a battle plan with the letter. β
"Oh, what are our plans for Sect Leader Li, let's hear about it?" Yi Feng is in a good mood now.
General Li planned to take advantage of the surrender of Po Shi, especially now that Daman had not yet realized that the 6th Battalion had arrived near Huai'an so quickly, so he planned to take this opportunity to use the detailed information on the deployment of Daman's troops brought by the surrender of Po Shi to launch an attack on the Daman troops on the periphery of Huai'an. The gods approached them unconsciously, and first surrendered by Poshi, and if they did not, they attacked and annihilated them. β
Yi Feng carefully considered Li Jing's plan, and because he had considered Gao Gong's tricks, he ordered his subordinates to avoid fighting the Turks as much as possible in order to preserve their strength. But now the intelligence on Li Jing's side, Po Shi's accidental capture and surrender, did give Li Jing an extremely rare opportunity. He could clearly know the deployment of the various divisions in Daman, but the Turks did not know that they had quickly rushed to the vicinity of Huai'an, and Li Jing could completely rely on the asymmetry of information between the two sides and the rapid mobility of the cavalry to carry out mobile operations, raid the small forces on the periphery of Daman Huai'an, and annihilate or surrender them.
Such an approach is very positive, and it can also be regarded as a way to reinforce Huai'an and relieve the siege. After all, he asked Li Jing to reinforce Huai'an and relieve the siege. But this does not mean that Li Jing will rush into Huai'an City, and then rely on the city to defend it, it is just a passive defense. Li Jing's plan was to take the initiative to attack and carry out an active defense. Qu Tutong and others were stationed in Huai'an City. Li Jing is maneuvering outside the city, huh. It's a good plan indeed. However, there is also a great deal of danger. After all, Li Jing only has 3,000 men and horses, and if he is surrounded by Daman in the field, if that one is not good, these 3,000 cavalry may be surrounded and annihilated. If Li Jing's troops were wiped out, it would be difficult for Yi Feng to send more troops to reinforce Huai'an, after all, he still had to guard Huai'an as much as possible.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Li Jing's plan?" Yi Feng didn't make a decision right away, he asked everyone present first. Listen to everyone's opinions.
"Your Highness, if according to the minister's view, the safest way is to immediately tear apart the siege and enter Huai'an City before Daman finds out, which is the safest." It was the prince who spoke, and it was Li Gang who washed the horse.
Li Gangwen's aspect is really powerful, after leaving Beijing, he gave Yi Feng several lectures along the way, and interpreted various classics. Even the way of governing the country and being the king is the way of the head, which is very reasonable. However, when it comes to military affairs, he is a complete layman, and as soon as he speaks. It has been exposed.
The history of the commander of the East Route Army, the book of the imperial court's military department, Su Xiaoci immediately spoke out against it. He shook his head, "His Highness sent General Li Jing to relieve the siege of Huai'an. If it only enters Huai'an, it will not have much positive effect on the situation. I thought it was Li Jing's plan. Very good. β
"But fighting in the field is what the Turks are good at, and the Turkic Daman has 50,000 cavalry and Li Jing 3,000. If the reinforcements are lost, Huai'an will not be protected at that time. Li Gang insisted on opposing the wave war, and he advocated defending the city and fighting a defensive battle for the city.
"No, no." Sima on the East Road, Liu Xingben, the imperial court secretary, also stood up to support Li Jing's plan at this time, "There are indeed 50,000 in the Daman Department, but General Pei Zeng also said just now that our scouts have already discovered that there are only 30,000 Turkic troops under Huai'an City, and the other 20,000 horses in Daman are now in Ulzhou. And General Li Jing is not only 3,000 men and horses, Poshi has just surrendered, and there are more than 1,000 Turkic cavalry to follow, and now the cavalry under General Li Jing is more than 4,000 Han cavalry and nearly 5,000 horses. In addition, behind General Li Jing, His Royal Highness also transferred 10,000 Huaihuang infantry troops to the south. In this way, General Li Jing has 15,000 men and horses, plus thousands of soldiers and civilians in Huai'an City, so calculated, in fact, there is not much difference between the two sides, especially General Li Jing has a Poshi in his hand, it is possible to recruit more Turks, you must know that among the soldiers and horses under Daman, there are many of the tribesmen and horses of this Poshi special service. On the basis of all this, I agree with General Li Jing's battle plan. β
"I also agree, even if the situation is not good, Li Jing can still retreat into Huai'an City." Yang Yichen, the governor of Danzhou, also agreed with this aggressive strategy of breaking the siege.
Yi Feng nodded, and said in a loud voice: "What you said makes sense, I also agree with Li Jing's plan, Li Jing has proved to us his ability to train and lead troops, and I believe he can do better in the future." Reply to Li Jing, I agree with his plan, but let him not be cautious, do not seek to have many rich results, but must save himself, do not fight hard, give full play to the mobile advantage of the cavalry, take advantage of our initiative, and fight with them in a mobile battle, once the shape is not good, immediately withdraw into the city. Sue them, even if it is just harassment, as long as Daman can't easily attack Huai'an City, even if he doesn't enter Huai'an City, the battlefield shape is changing rapidly, and the specific situation is up to him to decide. β
Late at night, the bright moon hangs high, and the moonlight shrouds the valley on both sides of the Sheep River.
In the middle of the night, the sentry in charge of night listening in the Turkic army stationed northeast of Huai'an City, on the east bank of the Sheep River, suddenly heard the sound of earth shaking from the quiver on his pillow.
The vibration grew stronger and stronger, and the experienced sentries immediately heard that it was the galloping sound of a large force of cavalry. The sentry gave a sharp warning, and the sleeping Turkic soldier woke up, hastily donning armor, carrying a knife and a gun.
Like a mountain spirit ghost that suddenly appeared in the dark night, a light cavalry group composed of 8,000 Han cavalry cavalry was rushing towards them, like a wild rush.
The dense cavalry swarm resembled a black storm and a flood bursting its banks.
The dull and piercing sound of horses' hooves rolled in like thunder, and they swept and destroyed like a hurricane.
They came too fast and rushed too hard, and the three thousand Turkic cavalry stationed by the river had not yet had time to form a formation before they were overwhelmed by the attacking cavalry cluster. The simple wooden fences, the cowhide tents, and the terrified Turkic soldiers, they were like papier-mΓ’chΓ© at this time, mercilessly destroyed and trampled into mud, and they also tried to resist, but the resistance was so powerless, they could only be crushed into powder by the torrent of steel.
The troops and horses that were suddenly killed were Li Jing's sixth battalion, and after getting Yi Feng's consent, Li Jing quickly formulated tactics and then quickly implemented them. Li Jing relied on Poshi, first quickly recruited several small cavalry belonging to Poshi, and the cavalry of his department quickly expanded to 8,000 people, the sixth battalion of 3,000 cavalry, and Poshi and others surrendered to the Turkic cavalry of 5,000. Li Jing was very bold, and after a simple reorganization of the 5,000 Turkic cavalry that had surrendered, he continued on the road with them. This time, they directly aimed at this group of 3,000 Turkic cavalry on the east bank of the Sheep River. This cavalry did not belong to the Po Shi Department, and after thinking about it again, Li Jing did not send someone to surrender, but directly planned to launch this midnight raid.
In the early hours of the morning, Li Jing had successfully cut almost all the panicked 3,000 Turkic cavalry into pieces on the east bank of the Yang River, and in this battle, nearly half of them were annihilated and nearly half of them were captured.
In front of the bloody cavalry swords, Li Jing sent Po Shi and other Turkic noble leaders, and soon, most of the remaining Turkic captives chose to surrender. For those who refused to surrender and those who wanted to surrender, but were seriously injured or even disabled, Li Jing mercilessly ordered Po Shi to lead his subordinates to hack them all to death.
After this battle, Li Jing's department had expanded to more than 10,000 people, and Li Jing organized the more than 7,000 Turkic troops into 15 cavalry regiments, which were the 31st Cavalry Regiment to the 45th Cavalry Regiment. Officers were selected from the sixth battalion to serve as officers at all levels of the regimental capital, with former Turkic officers serving as deputy ranks, and the original Turkic personnel were scattered and reorganized in order to achieve control.
After hurriedly cleaning up the battlefield, Li Jing did not lead the 21 cavalry regiments to march to Huai'an City on the west bank of the Yang River, which was not far away, Li Jing just looked at the direction of Huai'an City on the battlefield for a while, and then ordered the whole army to mount their horses and turn east.
When the nearby Turks arrived, they saw only more than a thousand corpses of Turkic soldiers, and there was not a single enemy in sight. The terrified Turkic soldiers quickly reported to Dammam, who was equally shocked when he received the news.
The enemy had already hit his side, but he didn't even know who the enemy was, but he knew that since the enemy could touch his side unknowingly, and annihilate the 3,000 soldiers and horses on the east bank of his river in half a night, the other party would definitely not be simple. Daman suddenly thought of an important question, the three thousand soldiers and horses on the east bank were quickly annihilated, so the thousands of troops and horses he arranged in the further north were also more auspicious, and the uncle and mother-in-law who went north to inspect the various departments had no news for several days, was it
Daman didn't dare to imagine it any longer, and a sudden panic and uneasiness rose in his heart.
"Send all the scouts, I want to know who's attacking us!" (To be continued......) R527
