Chapter 366: The prince sends someone to visit

The heavy cavalry charged, crushing all the way.

After following the heavy cavalry, Li Yixie led the Chinese army to expand the results of the battle, the momentum was like a bamboo, no one could stop it, the crossbow was lost like rain, continuously, and the rebels who killed directly were unable to complete it, and fled in panic.

Then, the heavy cavalry fought back, picked a crowded place to rush, pushed sideways, and suffered countless casualties, so frightened that the rebels only hated the lack of two legs, and did not care about counterattacking, and fled by taking the road.

The heavy cavalry rushed through again, the horse's physical strength plummeted, and they could not continue to charge, Su Dingfang led the heavy cavalry to slow down and go in the direction of the camp, but Li Yixie led the army to follow and kill, and continued to expand the results, the rebels were defeated, and there was no morale, Li Yixie decisively ordered the army to chase and kill separately.

With a crossbow in hand, one is ten.

On the other hand, the rebellion was frightened, and there was no war horse to travel, where could they run, they were shot and fell down one by one, and some simply lay down and died, wanting to pass the test in confusion, but the army developed the habit of mending knives under the influence of Qin Huaidao, and rushed up to shoot them.

The battle turned into a one-sided chase, and the victory was decided.

In the middle of the military tent, Qin Huaidao was relieved after hearing the battle situation from the scouts, his eyes turned to the south, the shouting and killing sound was obviously much smaller, and he didn't know what the outcome was, the most strange thing was the west, 50,000 troops came over, but they stopped in front of the position, did not attack, did not retreat, and showed a little weirdness.

"Newspaperβ€”"

A scout rushed up on horseback: "General, the enemy in the south has been routed and is retreating. ”

"What are the losses of our army, what is the morale?"

"The losses of the four major alien races are not small, and the losses of General Shi and the 1,000 Chinese army are not large."

Qin Huaidao was relieved in his heart, and shouted: "Order General Shi and a thousand Chinese troops, give me a bite to expand the results of the battle, and retreat quickly." ”

"Obey!" The scout hurried to go.

"Did you win?"

Qin Huaidao looked at the heavy cavalry that was slowly returning, and his heart was reassured, as long as the danger in the south and east was lifted, he would not be afraid of attacking from the west, and asked Su Dingfang who came up: "How is the fight?" ”

"To live up to the mission, the two back and forth completely disrupted the rebel formation, and the rebels have been defeated, it depends on how far General Li can expand the results of the battle." Su Dingfang said and took off his helmet, and motioned for the pro-army to come up and help remove the armor, and it was not easy to remove the heavy armor alone.

"Continue to send scouts to the east to reconnoitre, and the scope will be expanded." Qin Huaidao reminded that there was still an army of 100,000 people in the east eyeing him, and he had to guard against it.

After Su Dingfang unloaded his armor, he hurriedly went to make arrangements.

Not long after, the four major tribes came over, and the four major tribes lost one-third of their troops in this battle, but the results were also good, almost killing the same enemy, exposing the disadvantages of the lack of unified command, Qin Huaidao said after some reassurance: "Everyone, it can't go on like this, it must be reorganized into an army and unified command." ”

Unified command means handing over military power, but also who will command?

Everyone is almost the same, no one is convinced, hearing Qin Huaidao's words, they are silent, everyone wants to be the main general, but they can't get Qin Huaidao's meaning, so they don't dare to speak first.

Qin Huaidao pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone, you are all tribal leaders, and you also hold official positions in the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion, and your rank is the same. ”

The official position of Qibi Shamen is higher than everyone, and all of Qibi Shamen's Qibi Shamen are still Liangguo Gong, who has won the trust of today's saints, and has a very good reputation and reputation, everyone can't find fault, plus I don't know what the relationship between Qibi Shamen and Qin Huaidao is, Qin Huaidao proposed, and everyone didn't dare to object.

After determining the candidate, Qin Huaidao asked people to find Qibi Shamen to explain the situation.

Qibi Shamen is an upright and bold person, convinced Qin Huaidao, agreed, Qin Huaidao let everyone visit the trap pit and trench, while explaining the wonderful use, and then let Qibi Shamen leave with his own clan soldiers and horses and the leaders of the four major tribes, and go to the river to set up defenses.

The battalion does not have the hidden danger of alien soldiers and horses, and can completely free up their hands to fight, as for the alien soldiers and horses, with Qibi Shamen in charge and unified command, the combat effectiveness can be improved a lot, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Not long after, the pursuing troops returned one after another, and the results were quickly counted, and the report came up, and more than 25,000 rebels were killed in a battle tonight, and the losses of the Imperial Forest Army were not large, and even the light cavalry led by Shi Yeshan did not suffer much losses, but the losses of the four major tribes were not small, but fortunately, they won the battle and their morale was stable.

Qin Huaidao gave an order, the team cleaned up the battlefield, all the war horses that could be eaten were dragged back, and the weapons, feather arrows, and crossbows that could be used were also picked up.

When the battlefield is cleaned up, the sky begins to brighten.

After a busy night, the soldiers were sleepy and tired, but gritted their teeth and insisted, everyone killed horses and barbecued, prepared to eat, Qin Huaidao patrolled the camp, saw that the morale was good, waited in his heart, returned to the hillside, faced the rising red sun, and looked to the far east, wanting to see the movement of the prince's 100,000 army.

In the battle last night, the prince did not send a single soldier, sitting and watching the two tigers fight, wanting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, calm and terrible, Qin Huaidao was a little worried that there were other conspiracies behind it.

In the end

Li Jiancheng borrowed his own knife to kill Li Chengqian, or did Li Chengqian borrow his own knife to kill Li Jiancheng?

Or did the two secretly join forces and use their own knife to eliminate dissidents?

Everything is eerie, confusing, and unsettling.

After pondering for a long time, Qin Huaidao saw that Su Dingfang sent a piece of roasted horse meat, took it and ate it, and said, "How is it in the east?" Still no news from the scouts? ”

"The scouts sent out several waves, but they were intercepted and killed by the eastern army, and those who came back were too far away to see the real thing, and the eastern army sent a large number of cavalry to chase and kill the scouts, could it be that they were deliberately hiding something?" Su Dingfang said with doubts in his stomach.

Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "Since they sent troops to strangle our scouts, then send more and also strangle their people, this is called battlefield covering, and does not give the opponent any chance to obtain information, you can negotiate with Li Yi of the Chinese army, arrange for a force to go quietly, ambush in advance, and then bring a group of rebels over to kill them directly." ”

Although he promised Niu Jinda not to take the initiative to attack, those who could be sent by the prince to intercept the scouts were definitely the prince's henchmen, and it was not a big problem to kill them.

"Understood, the last general will arrange it here." Su Dingfang agreed and went to find Li Yixie in person.

The army was full of food and drink, and continued to dig trenches, with last night's battle, everyone had a deep understanding of the wonderful use of trenches, and was full of enthusiasm, and Qin Huaidao organized people to heal the wounded.

After a lot of busyness, before I knew it, at noon, the army continued to stew horse meat, digging wild vegetables from nearby and mixing them together, the taste was much better, and I ate horse meat every day, and the taste was very bad, and I couldn't stand it.

After the meal, Qin Huaidao commanded the army to continue digging trenches and expanding the scope of the horse pit, Su Dingfang brought a young man in brocade clothes over, the other party was also respectful, and saluted when they met: "Xiaguan has seen the hussar general." ”

"Is that you?" Qin Huaidao didn't expect Hou Junji's son to come over, he looked at the other party with some suspicion, and asked bluntly, "Your father sent you?" ”

"No, Xia Guan is a subordinate official of the East Palace, and he obeys the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Prince sent him to negotiate the war."

"Oh, let's hear it." Qin Huaidao secretly became vigilant.

The other party saluted again: "The prince has an order, ordering the hussar general to attack the rebels at dusk, and then the two sides will attack and take down the rebels in one fell swoop. ”

"There are too few soldiers and horses under the command of this general to take the initiative to attack, please tell the prince that the rebellion is the prince's business, and it has nothing to do with this general, and the holy decree that this general received is the rebellion of the northern capital of Ping'an."

"You?" The other party didn't expect Qin Huaidao to refuse so decisively, and he was speechless for a while.

Qin Huaidao had to be decisive, who knows if the prince deliberately used a trick to transfer himself out of the Makeng formation to attack Li Jiancheng, so that the two sides would fight to the death? At that time, the prince will not come out with a single army, but attack his own camp, and he will be passive, even if it is not a strategy, it will not work to really join forces to quell the rebellion, and he will not use the advantage of the trapping horse pit position, and go to fight Li Jiancheng to the death, isn't that stupid?

The prince's identity is special, sensitive, and the situation is weird, so it's better to brake quietly.

"Sending off!" Qin Huaidao's tone was cold.

"You...... Do you dare to disobey the Prince's orders? The other party looked shocked.

Qin Huaidao sneered: "It's not to disobey the prince's order, but that the general has a holy order, and the rebellion is the prince's business, and the general can't meddle rashly without the holy decree." ”

"And what are you now?" The other party asked with a cold face.

"The rebels have captured a lot of strong men from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the affairs of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate are under the control of this general, so naturally they are here to find rebel dignitaries, what's wrong with this? As long as the rebels hand over the strong men, the general will immediately withdraw his troops back to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and he will not dare to rob the crown prince of the merits. "Qin Huaidao is neither humble nor arrogant, with good reasons, and does not give the other party any handle.

According to the rules, Qin Huaidao needs to quell the chaos in the Anbei Protectorate or go back to Chang'an to pay the order, and it is really unclear to come to Heicheng rashly, not to mention collecting soldiers and horses along the way, but rescuing Zhuangding is a good excuse.

The other party glanced at Qin Huaidao meaningfully, and turned to leave.

Qin Huaidao saw the coldness in the other party's eyes, and became more and more vigilant.
