Chapter 66: Operation Winter Thunder (2)

Yunnei Prefecture's Fuzhi Roufu and Zhenwu are only separated by a Dajin River, when the weather is good, you can see the head of the city on this side, this city can be heard from the name when the Han army attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and later it will become a trading field with the mainland, and it is on the traffic artery, so it is needless to say that it is prosperous.

Liao once set up a heavy garrison in the northwest to recruit Situn in the Roufu City to manage the northwest tribes, and the Tatar tribes at that time were deeply oppressed by the Khitan, so rebellion and suppression became the norm, and the city as a frontier town was naturally taller and stronger than elsewhere.

Liao to the Tatar tribes have the north of the block, the west of the block, the northwest of the block, the blockade of the Zara, the blockade refers to the tribal alliance, occupying the soft is the north and south of the mountain to block the eight leaders of the eight tribes of the Sunichi, the frequent movement of the Xijing army can not not attract their attention. Previously, they and Xijing did not disturb each other, but now they have a grudge because of the protection of autumn, and Sunichi ordered 10,000 tribal soldiers to defend the city of Roufu.

Early in the morning of September 6, the scouts reported that the Xijing army had driven to the riverbank to prepare to cross the river, and Sunichi ordered 5,000 men to set up a formation along the river to prevent the Xijing army from crossing the river. At this time, the river surface has been frozen, and it is feasible to use cars and horses, and the tiger generals who are responsible for recovering Yunnei have commanded Wang Heng to wave his army to cross the river, and he made a feint attack with the first brigade in the front, and secretly sent the second brigade to choose the ferry ten miles downstream to smuggle in.

Now it has just entered winter, and the ice is not frozen, so the brigade does not dare to attack in formation, so they can only dismount and attack on foot. Liu Baozhen, the commander of the first brigade, played the treasure and commanded the troops to start an offensive and defensive battle with the Tatar army on the wide river, and the soldiers of the first brigade held round shields and carried sabers in a scattered formation to attack in front, and the machine guns and bead guns in the rear 'crackled' non-stop, but they just did not enter the range of the enemy's bow and arrow. But it also attracted the enemy firmly.

The 2nd Brigade had already reconnoitred and selected the crossing point before the war, where the embankment was gentle. War horses can go ashore directly. Liu Biao is also an old man of the loyal army, and he sent a battalion of men and horses to cross the river on foot. Quickly establish a defensive line on the beachhead to block potential Tatars, while sending scouts to intercept enemy scouts. Then, the battalions crossed the river with their horses, and after more than half an hour, more than 2,000 people in the whole brigade crossed the Dajin River under the cover of mist and marched in line to Roufu City!

When Sunichi found the smuggled 2nd Brigade, the two armies were less than 2 miles apart, and he hurriedly sent a cavalry army to stop it, but only one shot was crushed by the 2nd Brigade. These people immediately carried forward the old tradition and ran away, each returning to his own home, and those who couldn't run were led to their house by Lord Yama. At this time, the 1st Brigade, which had been playing with them in the river for a long time, also changed its fearful attitude and launched a strong attack under the cover of machine guns.

Sunichi, who was arrayed outside the city, was suddenly attacked from two sides, and he found that his retreat had been cut off, and it was too late to enter the city, so he could only lead the rest of his army to the north to be defeated. The second brigade pursued and killed for a while, and the enemy troops scattered and fled, and they could not form an encirclement for a while, so they could only watch Suni go away.

Wang Heng had already led the third brigade and reinforced artillery to land at this moment. Without hesitation, he immediately set up artillery to attack the city. Sunichi ran away, and the tribes of the city recommended Sunichi's eldest son, Borha, to defend the city as the lord of the city. But as soon as the cannons of the Xijing army rang out, the castle tower was destroyed almost at the same time. The shells kept falling in the city, and they had nowhere to hide, and people couldn't get up to the city walls. Those people can't look like this. simply tied Borja and surrendered the city.

In just one morning, the city of Roufu was captured by the tiger generals. Wang Heng waved his army into the city, and he strictly abided by the prince's regulations. They must not kill, loot, or disturb the people, and respect their customs and beliefs. However, the smooth start did not bring them good luck, the Tatars who lost the city of Rouran were more difficult to capture, and the tiger general sent a large group of men and horses to sweep forward, but they were constantly harassed by the enemy, and by the time they arrived, the Tatar tribe had long disappeared without a trace, and could only return in vain...

The leopard generals who attacked Toyosu also encountered the same problem, it was easy to attack the city, but it was difficult to destroy the enemy. The Tatars do not engage them head-on at all, they adopt the tactics of hitting and running, and if you chase him in a hurry, he will be reduced to zero, and you will divide your troops to pursue them, and they will also use their advantage of being familiar with the terrain to quickly assemble a team several times your size to fight with you in the movement, and if you can't die, you have to tear off a piece of meat, which makes Sun Ji also very headache, and can only sit in the lonely city, and it is difficult to carry out the attack.

Speaking of the lion generals who attacked the Tiande army, because they had a long way to go, and they had to cross the Yellow River and cross the desert, they were still on the march when the other two families began to attack the city. Zhang Yue, who was bent on showing off, took advantage of his familiarity with the road and superior equipment to reach the Tiande Army before the lion general arrived.

This made Zhang Yue find a reason to fight independently, and the prince said well, he took the lead in attacking if he did not give the foreign order. The capture of Tiande City was even more dramatic, the Tatars who lived here did not know that the Xijing army had launched an attack on them, and the vast desert also made them feel that the Xijing army could not cross in this windy season, and when the Jurchens came, they also came from Yunnei and did not dare to cross the desert.

Just as the Tatars were waiting for the Xijing army to come from Tiande, a disgraced army suddenly appeared under the city of Tiande, they didn't even have time to close the city gate, these people rushed into the city, Xibani, the leader of the four alliances of the Western Blockade Bu, only had time to put on his armor, and the city lord's mansion was captured and taken prisoner, and he could only obediently order the defenders in the city to lay down their weapons according to Zhang Yue's instructions. But when he saw that there were only more than 2,000 of them, Shaybani could only look up to the sky and sigh!

After the lion general arrived, Dou Jun did not blame Zhang Yue for acting without permission, but gave him a credit for the first time, and they then began to transfer to the work of clearing the rest of the Tatars, but they encountered the same problem, it was difficult to catch the enemy's traces, and they often found that they could not be surrounded, and they could not keep up.

"Zhang Yue, how did you kid fight, didn't you get it?" At this time, Dou Jun found that Zhang Yue's desert brigade did not have this problem, don't look at their small manpower, but the number of enemies destroyed is the largest, and the most loot captured, every time he goes out, he rarely returns empty-handed, he couldn't help asking.

"All commanders, you can't say that, how can it be blinded, how can so many of you not be blinded!" Zhang Yue is also an old man in Beifu, and Dou Jun also served as his captain, and the two of them talk a lot more casually.

"Hehe, you still want to take me, be careful that I beat you!" Dou Jun said with a smile, but a bottle of wine was dangling in his hand.

"Then I'll talk to Commander Du!" Zhang Yue licked his lips, held the bowl and said, "There is a shortage of wine in our army, what do the Tatars living on the edge of the desert lack?" (To be continued......)
