Five hundred and sixty-five, besiege but not attack
When Tan Yuyu sensed that something was wrong, he ordered the march to be suspended and let Yingfeng go out to investigate first. Anyway, Xiqin is very close, so there is no need to rush in a day or two. Within three days, Tan Invite Yu got the news from Yingfeng.
It was the Northern Wei Dynasty who instructed the Western Qin Dynasty to deliberately show weakness to the Xia Dynasty. Now Helian Ding thought that victory was in sight, and he was about to enter the encirclement of the Northern Wei army after relentless pursuit. Yingfeng's words are very certain, Helian Ding is afraid that this time he will be more than lucky.
"It's actually a trap...... Cui Yong slapped the desk. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the niece, we would have to follow Xia Jun into the trap of the Northern Wei Dynasty and die. ”
Qin Zhongzhi frowned, "Girl, our current strength is not enough to compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty. Before they find out about us, do you want to withdraw our troops? ”
Hearing this, Tan Yuyu glanced at Qin Zhongzhi coldly, "When will you start, and learn to start talking about everything first?" ”
Qin Zhongzhi's neck shrank, he was really the instinct of being a strategist and a courtier. After all, the middle strategy can be attacked, retreated, and defended. It's just that he forgot for a moment that he was facing Tan Invite Rain.
Qin Zhongzhi swallowed his saliva, "According to Yinglangjun's news, the Northern Wei Dynasty only sent 30,000 cavalry this time, including 5,000 heavy cavalry. This number, plus the stragglers of Western Qin, is about 40,000. ”
Qin Zhongzhi paused at this time. Although he knew that Qiu Chijun was no longer what it used to be, after all, he had never fought in actual combat, so it was difficult to say. And they still have to face the ironclad army of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Qin Zhongzhi is actually not optimistic, "The Northern Wei and Western Qin armies alone are already twice as large as us, and it is a little reluctant to fight hard." Even if he can resist the offensive, he is most afraid that the Xia Dynasty will also fight back. If that were the case, we would have to deal with a full 70,000 enemy forces at the same time. The chances of winning are slim...... If the girl insists on fighting, why don't you write to the king of Northern Liang, Fuqu Mengxun, and ask him to fight against the Northern Wei army? ”
Tan Yuyu looked at the deployment map of the various marches that Yun Daosheng had helped draw, and fell into deep thought.
Although she found a reason for herself to calm the chaos and save the world. But she and several henchmen around her knew that Tan Zhaoyu was going to the land and population of Western Qin. Originally, she planned to suppress the Western Qin and Xia Dynasty, so that she could enjoy the results of the Western Qin alone. Now it seems that it is not the time for her to rise to the top.
This is her first battle as a leader of the army as Qiu Chi Senji, so she has to make a name for herself. In this way, her Salvation Army can have a certain deterrent effect. Let all the enemies start to be afraid when they see the Hanging Sword Taiji Banner in the future.
Tan Zhaoyu said to Qin Zhongzhi: "Go and inform the King of Beiliang." Bring some of our battle flags and headbands over as well. There is my Taoist temple in Horseshoe Mountain in Beiliang, and it is not a grievance to let them listen to the orders of the Taiji Banner. Tell Fuqu Mengxun that after the matter is completed, take Baohan City as the boundary and divide the West Qin together. If he refuses, he will wait for the Northern Wei Dynasty to destroy the Xia Dynasty, and then point his sword at Beiliang. ”
Qin Zhongzhi suddenly clenched his fists, "Girl, the Xia Dynasty may enter the ambush circle of the Northern Wei army at any time, and time is pressing." Why don't you go to Beiliang in person. Although the minister has some kung fu, it is not worth mentioning compared to a few walkers, you have the protection of all walkers, and the minister is also at ease. The minister quickly whipped up his horse and personally went to invite the king of Beiliang to come out. ”
Tan Invite Yu did not hesitate, although the messenger was able to deliver the letter to the hands of Fuqu Mengxun, but the weight and supervision were incomparable to Qin Zhongzhi's personal going. She nodded and admonished, "Stay safe." ”
I was afraid that things would change, so in the end, I invited two walkers to protect Qin Zhongzhi and immediately went to Beiliang together. Tan Zhaoyu believed that as long as Qin Zhongzhi arrived in Beiliang safely, with his eloquence, he would definitely be able to let the king of Beiliang send troops.
Gai Wu, who came to the battle with Lu Shuihu, asked Invite Yu at this time: "Then what should we do?" Xia Jun was afraid that he couldn't wait for Beiliang to send troops, and he had already entered the encirclement. ”
"Helian Ding will not be captured...... Tan Invite Yu analyzed: "The Northern Wei Dynasty will not want to be killed or injured too much at this time...... If Tuoba Tao had made his own decision, he might have chosen to make a quick decision. However, the news from Pingcheng from Mengshi's people said that it was Cui Hao's idea to Tuoba Tao to attack the Xia Dynasty first. ”
Tan Yuyu's slender fingers tapped on the map, trying to figure out Cui Hao's intentions, "If I am Cui Hao...... If I were Cui Hao...... I should have chosen to let Helian Chang persuade Helian to surrender. ”
Everyone present woke up one after another when they heard this.
"That's right, this is indeed Cui Hao's style." Yun Daosheng had been with Master Kou Qianzhi and Cui Hao for a while, so he was afraid that he could understand Cui Hao's style of acting better than Tan Yingyu.
Cui Yong also agreed: "The Northern Wei Dynasty obviously wants to unify the north, but the current troops are not enough to fight on multiple fronts. With more than 20,000 troops in the Xia Dynasty, Tuoba Tao was reluctant to kill them directly. ”
Tan Zhaoyu's fingers were on the Kanyu map, and he slid all the way down Pingcheng to Xiqin, "Tuoba Tao was the addict of Helian Chang when he was the Guiji Gong, and he also married his imperial sister Princess Shiping to him, the purpose is undoubtedly to recruit Anxia people. If it was just to cut down the entire Xia army, Tuoba Tao would not have to go so hard to lead them into the encirclement. ”
After listening to Tan Zhaoyu's analysis, everyone was already convinced of this speculation.
Tan Zhaoyu immediately invited two more seniors, "Helian Chang should have set off from Pingcheng a long time ago." He was extravagant and could never stand suffering. If he sets out from Pingcheng, he will definitely take the smoothest official road. Trouble the two seniors to intercept him, and secretly use some means to drag him for a few days and give us time to buffer. ”
When the two walkers heard this, they didn't say a word, and immediately set off in the direction of Pingcheng.
Now that Tan Zhaoyu has guessed the intentions of all parties, the deployment is no longer targetless.
"Uncle Cui Shi, pass the order, let 20,000 cavalry wrap the horses' hooves, and the four uncles will lead the team to divide into four roads, each road will be separated by three miles, and approach the encirclement of the Northern Wei Dynasty in batches, and we will meet in Longxi."
Tan Zhaoyu's hand nodded at Longxi on the picture, "Walk day and night, try not to be discovered." If you encounter a spy, you can kill it directly, and you don't have to think about catching and interrogating it. ”
Cui Yong clenched his fists, "Order!" Let's take a look at my niece! ”
Qiu Chi's 20,000 men were quickly divided into a team of 5,000 men, and they quietly moved towards the encirclement of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the night, without even lighting a single torch.
Since he knew that the Northern Wei army would not directly open the killing ring, Tan Zhaoyu was not in a hurry, and tried to approach the encirclement of the Northern Wei Dynasty as slowly as possible.
By the time the 20,000 Qiu Chi army converged again three days later, the Xia army had been besieged by the Northern Wei army on a mountain for a whole day and night.
Helian Ding really guessed with Invite Yu, and would rather die than surrender. The Northern Wei Dynasty wanted to collect 20,000 Xia soldiers, so they also besieged it but did not attack.
After Tan Zhaoyu's men and horses quietly ambushed, she immediately left a few secret numbers of walker buildings nearby. It didn't take long for Yingfeng to touch it at night.
