Chapter 247: Winning by Strategy
He Xiaoming immediately ordered the guards to open the door to welcome the scouts back, and only two of the original ten-member scout team came back to report the news.
He Xiaoming didn't have time to inquire about the detective's own situation first, and only focused on the war: "How is the situation?" ”
The scout reported: "Back to General He, General Guo and the army were introduced to Baya City by Su Jin's army, and now they have been besieged in the city, and the situation is very bad!" ”
Ten of his subordinates went to investigate, but they were innocently affected by the fighting, and five were killed and wounded. At present, the three of them are still observing the situation outside the city, and the team leader remembers Miss Su's instructions and does not dare to launch signal flares, so he can only order his subordinates to rush back to report the news. ”
He Xiaoming gritted his teeth in annoyance and said, "Sure enough! General Guo still fell for the trick! ”
"Thank you for the information, it's very useful... You two go down and rest. After sending off the probes, Su Jiudong immediately pulled He Xiaoming aside and whispered: "General He, how many people are left in our barracks?" ”
"No more, no less, there are still 120,000 people in the barracks right now." He Xiaoming snickered and said: "There are less than 60,000 remnants in Baya City, and our number is twice as rich as them, so it shouldn't be difficult to return General Guo." ”
Su Jiudong thought about it carefully, frowned, and said, "I'm afraid it's still inappropriate..."
Although General Guo only brought 70,000 men to Baya City to attack, 70,000 horses were the elite troops in the army, of which 30,000 were cavalry. At present, the remaining 120,000 people in the camp are only more than a large number, but the combat strength is not necessarily as strong as 70,000 horses. ”
He Xiaoming's voice couldn't help but rise: "Could it be that because of combat strength, you won't go to the rescue of General Guo?" ”
"It's not that you don't save it, but you have to think about how to organize the troops to save it!" Su Jiudong motioned to He Xiaoming to lower his voice, and said in a low voice: "You have to plan to save people, and the most taboo is to rashly lead 120,000 people stupidly to go outside Baya City to shout, and give Su Jinguo a head for nothing." ”
"There are only 10,000 cavalry left in the army, these 10,000 cavalry are really precious, and it is very likely that the rescue will never return, so General He, you can't order them to support..."
Su Jiudong was silent for a while, and estimated in his heart for a while before continuing: "General He can send 5,000 archers, 2,000 crossbowmen, and 10,000 infantry to me, and I will go to support." ”
"Miss Su wants to go into battle in person?! This, how can this be, you don't seem to be good at leading troops to fight..."Judging from the previous battle with Gao Leqi by the Shicha River, Su Jiudong really only "shouted" to charge, and the technique of leading troops is really not good.
Su Jiudong's face was pale, he didn't expect He Xiaoming to directly point out that she couldn't lead the troops, and said with a wry smile: "I can only outwit this time, not hard-hitting, just to be able to rescue General Guo, and I don't want to entangle with Su Jinjun." ”
After discussing with He Xiaoming, Su Jiudong finally decided that Su Jiudong would lead 15,000 people to the rescue first. If they are really outnumbered, they will finally fire flame flares, and then He Xiaoming can send troops to reinforce quickly.
In Baya City, seeing that the drama of "catching turtles in the urn" jointly composed by Dalantai and Arislan was about to come to a successful end, Su Jiudong, who was worried about Guo Qifeng's situation, led his troops to rush outside the city gate at this time.
Su Jiudong saw the closed city gate from a distance, and knew that the situation in Baya City was indeed not good. Su Jiudong took the lead in front of the military formation and began to arrange the troops:
"Where is the commander of the infantry? Er immediately led 10,000 infantry to storm the gate of Baya City with a rushing chariot, and the archers covered the infantry in the rear, and confronted the Sujin archers on the gate tower of Baya City and fired bows and arrows. ”
Su Jiudong and the infantry commander immediately began to lead the charge of the troops, fighting against the Su Jin soldiers guarding the city gate from outside the city!
At this time, Baya City, the city was the battle between Guo Qifeng and Arislan, and the Yin army led by Su Jiudong and the Su Jin army guarding the gate were fighting in the city. In the hail of bullets, many infantry died in the chaotic rain of arrows.
After a brave fight by the Yin army, the gate of Baya City was finally broken open by a rushing car, and Su Jiudong, who was hit by the rocks, was seriously injured, but still led the remaining 4,000 infantry and 2,000 crossbowmen into the city.
Su Jiudong's eyes searched quickly in the chaotic crowd, and finally locked on Guo Qifeng, who was besieged by Su Jinjun in the west corner of the city: "General Guo! Come with me! ”
The crossbow arrows in the hands of the two thousand crossbowmen that Su Jiudong asked for from He Xiaoming were the weapons they used to rescue the enemy. Su Jiudong led 15,000 people to rescue Guo Qifeng, and finally more than 8,000 people died on the battlefield in exchange for Guo Qifeng's life.
Guo Qifeng, under the cover of Su Jiudong and the crossbowmen, fled from Baya City with all his might.
After this battle, the 70,000 people led by Guo Qifeng injured nearly half of the men, and the 15,000 people that Su Jiudong later reinforced were less than 2,000. The original nearly 190,000 Western Route Army had less than 140,000 horses left, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Guo Qifeng, who escaped from heaven, saw that for his impulsive move this time, he lost nearly 50,000 soldiers of the Yin Army in an instant, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Because of my momentary underestimation of the enemy, it is really stupid to cause our army to be injured so far!" ”
Guo Qifeng burst into tears in front of a group of remnants, but when he saw that the remnants in front of him were already weak and powerless, he felt even more ashamed, and his eyes suddenly shifted to the sidecar in his hand. Glamorous e-books
This sidecar is extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay, and it was once the best proof that Guo Qifeng has killed countless enemies... Guo Qifeng angrily raised his hand and pulled out the knife, and directly pulled the sharp side of the knife to his neck.
"General Guo! Stop! ”
Su Jiudong's eyes were quick to stop Guo Qifeng, who was about to commit suicide in shame, and even tried his best to dissuade him: "General Guo, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, we still have 140,000 troops, and we can fight again, you, as the commander-in-chief, must not leave us softly!" ”
Although Su Jiudong's mouth was a word of dissuasion, she obviously couldn't stop Guo Qifeng's strength, and the soldiers next to her stood up desperately and surrounded him, and everyone stopped Guo Qifeng's suicide together.
Under the persuasion of everyone, Guo Qifeng's sanity slowly recovered: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm out of shape again..."
Guo Qifeng, who was invincible in the past, only felt that he was no longer worthy of being the commander of the first army, and he didn't even dare to mention the three words "General Ben" that he usually talked about, and only changed his name back to the ordinary word "I", and he felt guilty in his heart.
Su Jiudong saw that Guo Qifeng was depressed, and he still seemed to be resisting being rescued, so he couldn't help but want to divert Guo Qifeng's attention, and then urged:
"General Guo, although we escaped from Baya City, this place is still out of a dangerous area, so it is not appropriate to stay for a long time. Even if it's not for your own sake, but for the sake of the other surviving brothers, we should rush back to camp now, and we can't be more indecisive. ”
Su Jiudong urged Guo Qifeng to get on the horse, and did not forget to explain him with nice words: "General Guo, all the soldiers in the army are worried about your situation and are looking forward to your return. If you survive intact, it will be the greatest victory for the soldiers! ”
Su Jiudong took the lead and escorted this Guo Qifeng back to the camp smoothly.
This time, Su Jiudong led people to rescue Guo Qifeng, and now he quickly resolved Guo Qifeng's suicide, and his image in the hearts of the soldiers suddenly rose a lot.
Guo Qifeng was still ashamed and annoyed, and even wrote a letter of guilt to show the entire military camp. Su Jiudong only felt that such a guilty book was equivalent to an afterthought, so he drew a big cross for Guo Qifeng in his heart.
After experiencing a tragic defeat, Guo Qifeng did not dare to act rashly. Su Jiudong also agreed with Guo Qifeng's immobility, and even sent people to the vicinity of Baya City to inquire about the whereabouts of Wen Yiheng, Su Fenglan and others, and then make the next step.
Guo Qifeng and Ajislan's battle in Baya City today also alarmed Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan, who were ten miles away.
Wen Yiheng, who had been asleep for four days, finally woke up, and on the second day after waking up, that is, today, he received information from the Western Route Army, which also detailed the situation of the battle with Su Jin's army in Baya City, as well as the situation of the Western Route Army.
Wen Yiheng really looked down on Guo Qifeng's style of play: "Guo Qifeng tore up with Ajislan this time, although he lost 50,000 people, but he also lost 20,000 soldiers in Baya City. This kind of move that damages 1,000 yourself and injures 800 enemies is really rare. ”
Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan originally pinned their hopes on Guo Qifeng, but they never thought that Guo Qifeng would impulsively fall into the trap of Arislan, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and almost put his own life into it.
Su Fenglan's impulsive move towards Guo Qifeng is also hating iron and steel:
"I thought that Guo Qifeng should be reliable, but I didn't expect him to be so lightly... It is said that this time it was his lieutenant who led people to rush to the front line and broke through the gates of Baya City to rescue him... He, the master of the army, is not as good as a four-rank lieutenant general! ”
Su Jiudong did not widely announce his identity as the daughter of the general, so Wen Yiheng directly attributed Su Jiudong's act of saving people to Guo Qifeng's deputy general He Xiaoming.
Compared with Guo Qifeng's reckless impulsiveness, Wen Yiheng has a good impression of the deputy general who led the team to save people:
"The letter said that the deputy general first used the infantry to rush the car and hit the city gate, and then made the archers release arrows as cover, and finally after the city gate was opened, the crossbowmen launched crossbowmen and shot crossbow arrows at close range, so that Su Jinjun did not dare to approach, and finally successfully rescued Guo Qifeng..."
"Guo Qifeng's lieutenant is smart, and his heroic act of saving people is indeed admirable. Regardless of the number of troops lost, the method of arranging the formation used alone is also very familiar to Heng, very similar to the layout that someone would make, very like..."
"Jiu Dong'er!" Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan invariably shouted the same name.
Wen Yiheng called the messenger who came to report the news back and asked her about Su Jiudong's situation. The messenger's answer was what Wen Yiheng wanted to hear the most:
"There is indeed a woman in the barracks who claims to be the daughter of General Su, who was rescued by General Guo a few days ago."
The messenger subconsciously looked at Su Fenglan and continued to add: "That woman was born very beautifully, and she is indeed similar to General Su between her eyebrows and eyes, and her courage to go into battle to kill the enemy is even more like General Su." ”
"What? You said that Jiu Dong'er also personally went into battle to kill the enemy?! Su Fenglan was shocked: "How could she suddenly become Guo Qifeng's lieutenant?" What is the current situation? Are there any injuries?! ”
