Chapter 370: Retreat is Advance
"Sure enough, we joined forces."
Hearing the news of the attack of the rebels on the two routes, Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up, his anger burned in his heart, and the three ways attacked at the same time, this is to die endlessly, and shouted: "Su Dingfang!" β
"The end will be." Su Dingfang, who had just left, hurriedly returned.
"Operation cancelled." Qin Huaidao made a decisive adjustment, if it was just the prince in the east, he could deal with it calmly, but now that the three roads are coming, the situation has become serious, and he must follow the adjustment, more than 1,000 people in the pro-army can't be led by no one, and it is useless to send people who don't know Niu Jinda.
Su Dingfang also understood the truth and nodded in agreement.
Cheng Chuliang, Li Yixie and Shi Yeshan surrounded them, their eyes were fanatical, 20,000 or 30,000 people faced 200,000 people on three sides, and they were bound to die, but no one was afraid.
Qin Huaidao can't help but consider the consequences, if he retreats, there is no one to defend to the north, but he can jump out of the encirclement, but it may also be a trap deliberately left by the opponent, to the north is Yin Mountain, many places are suitable for ambushes, I don't know how to die, I can't think about it.
There are large armies in the east and south, it is unlikely that they will rush out, and even if they succeed, they will suffer heavy losses, and to the west there are only 50,000 people, which is relatively good, to break through?
When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.
Qin Huaidao made some calculations and made a decisive decision to break through, but not to the west, but to the south.
The 50,000 Jieli tribes in the west are all one tribe, very united, not easy to fight, and keeping the Jieli Department may not be a good thing for Li Jiancheng, after all, it is a foreign race, Li Jiancheng uses the Jieli Department, and it needs to be guarded against, if Li Jiancheng's army is weakened, the white-eyed wolf of the Jieli Department may have a different heart and replace it.
Li Jiancheng in the south was repulsed from two attacks, the losses were not small, and the morale would be hit, and secondly, Li Jiancheng's troops had a complex composition, including border troops, government soldiers, and foreign armies, who were not familiar with each other, and might even be wary of each other, suspicious, and not tacit in cooperation, not united enough, unable to be unanimous with the outside world, and suitable for breakthroughs.
As long as Li Jiancheng's department is severely damaged, the prince's strength will stabilize Li Jiancheng's head, which can break the balance between the two, and even stimulate the contradictions between the two, it would be better if the prince Li Chengqian could annex Li Jiancheng's team, after all, it is the prince, and the troops are bewitched, once the saint comes over, not to mention that the troops will defect after knowing the truth, but a filial piety is enough to crush Li Chengqian.
People in this era attach great importance to filial piety, and those who are not filial will be spurned.
Why does Li Er like to recruit talented people as sons-in-law, that is, he is bound by filial piety, once he becomes a son-in-law, he is half a son, and if he dares to rebel, he is unfilial and will be spurned by the world.
There is another advantage to going south, you can enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty, get the support of the imperial court, and it is mountainous, so it is easy to counterattack.
Since this is the case, let's take retreat as advance, jump out of the encirclement, and have no existence of their own, but to see how Li Jiancheng and Li Chengqian will get along.
In the midst of the lightning, Qin Huaidao analyzed the pros and cons clearly and clearly, and immediately shouted: "Su Dingfang, change horses again, prepare for heavy cavalry to open the way, and move quickly." β
"Obey!" Su Dingfang thought that he was going to fight the same as before, so he agreed and hurriedly went to arrange.
"General Shi, also change horses!" Qin Huaidao looked at Shi Yeshan.
In the battle just now, the physical consumption of the war horse was huge, and many of them were injured, so they were no longer suitable for another battle, and they really needed to change horses, Shi Yeshan nodded knowingly, and quickly asked the guards around him to pass the order, and he stayed on standby.
Qin Huaidao looked at Li Yixie, Li Yixie also thought that he was fighting the same as just now, nodded, and said a few words to the guards around him, the other party left in a hurry, Qin Huaidao saw that Li Yixie was so tacit, he didn't repeat it, and continued to Su Dingfang: "Pass the order, all armies are ready to evacuate, and after the three-way war drums, go south in the existing formation, and the various departments will cover alternately, and they must not mess up their positions, and send people to notify the friendly troops by the water to withdraw together." β
"Obey." Su Dingfang's heart was shocked, he actually wanted to evacuate, and he went out against the south, in the end, he was a famous general, he quickly guessed Qin Huaidao's intentions, called a few subordinates to tell a few words, a few people nodded, and the order went.
The sun is warm and the wind is warm.
Qin Huaidao's heart was full of cold killing intent, two or three hundred thousand people pressed at the same time, there was not enough crossbow to resist hard is to find death, and he couldn't do it, but he was forced to retreat too aggrieved, too angry, and never had it.
After waiting for a while, he saw the enemy coming from afar, and shouted, "Beat the drum!" β
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
The drums of war roared and spread throughout the wilderness, with a strong fighting spirit, as if declaring war.
Su Dingfang looked at Qin Huaidao, his gaze fanatical.
Qin Huaidao solemnly ordered: "Remember, go straight to the enemy's commander's banner, destroy the command system, don't pay attention to anything else, the action must be fast, you can't stop, even if you retreat, you have to step on the corpse of the rebel and kill it, so that the rebels know how not to be provoked." β
"Obey!" Su Dingfang's expression was awe-inspiring.
"Shi Yeshan, the old rule, tear a passage with the heavy cavalry."
"Understood!" Shi Yeshan replied solemnly.
"Li Yixie?"
"The last general understands!" Li Yi replied willingly.
"Out of battle,
Attack after two passes of war drums! β
"Obey." The three of them clasped their fists and rushed to their respective positions.
Soon, the heavy cavalry slowly advanced along the passage, followed by the light cavalry, and then the Chinese army, all three of them quickly lined up after leaving their positions.
Qin Huaidao waited for a while, saw that the attack team had been lined up, and then saw that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life had also packed the supplies, and looked at the wrestlers not far away, the other party nodded and picked up the drumsticks.
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
The second war drum sounded, Su Dingfang picked up the horse lance, stared at the rebels who were still in formation in front of him and shouted: "Brothers, follow the general to rush out of a bloody road, go!" β
The soldiers began to beat their horses and accelerated, and no one was afraid, and the continuous killing made everyone extremely confident.
On the hillside, Qin Huaidao saw that the army leading the way began to charge, and quickly looked to the west, Cheng Chubi was leading the army to fight with the Jieli Department who rushed up, and the cavalry of the Jieli Department did not know the strength of the horse pit and trench, so he sent 3,000 people to come up to test and plunge into the meat grinder.
After observing for a while, Qin Huaidao saw that the three thousand people had been almost strangled, and he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise the Jieli Department would send someone to rush up and kill him, and once he was entangled, it would be difficult to get out.
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
The low drums of war rang out, shaking the heavens and the earth, and buzzing.
The troops stationed in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest quickly rushed out of the trenches, turned over their horses, led another war horse carrying supplies, and left along the passage under the leadership of the main general, carefully avoiding the horse pit.
The Chinese military tent on the hillside had already been demolished, packed and put on horseback, Su Dingfang was not there, Qin Huaidao personally led the pro-army down the hillside, through the passage, and walked out of the position and headed south.
The four soldiers and horses came over, forming four battle phalanxes to protect Qin Huaidao in the middle, and the friendly troops of the alien race had also been assembled, but they did not run around, Qibi Shamen ran over with several tribal leaders, Qin Huaidao stepped forward to greet him, in order to show respect, several people saluted one after another, and Qibi Shamen asked: "General, how do we arrange it?" β
"Our army will charge the rebels head-on and withdraw from the south, do you have any problems waiting for the queen of the palace?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Seeing that Qin Huaidao handed over his back to himself, this is a great trust, and it is a great care, the most dangerous thing to kill the front, the relative safety of the palace, such an arrangement can not find fault, Qibi Shamen is grateful, hugged his fists and said: "The general looks down on us, we can wait to kill head-on." β
"The queen of the palace is also in danger, the enemy army will cover up and chase after you, you look to the west." Qin Huaidao pointed to the west and said, the three thousand people just now were stunned, but they found that after retreating, the Jieli Department was emboldened and chased after them.
"Okay, leave it to us, I've long wanted to have a big fight with the Jieli Department." Chebishamen agreed.
"Don't fall in love with the war, you must keep up with the army, don't fall behind, falling behind means death."
"Understood."
Qin Huaidao looked ahead, the heavy cavalry in the lead had already attacked the rebels, and shouted: "The generals listen to the order, Fang Yiai leads the troops in front, Cheng Zhiliang is on the left, Cheng is on the right, the three armies are distanced, and the word line is given to the general to attack and fight forward, not allowed to retreat, stagnate, the general leads the pro-army in the center, and the crossbow supports all parties, and the palace of Wei Chi Baoqi follows to prevent the rebels from reversing, there must be no mistakes, go and command!" β
"Obey!" Several major generals understood and quickly rushed to their respective positions.
Chebishamen also returned to the army with the chiefs of the tribes.
The army moved quickly and charged forward in a prismatic shape.
Qin Huaidao led the pro-army to occupy the middle of the prism, and ordered the troops to shoot freely to provide cover for friendly troops, so that everyone would not be in danger in the middle and could shoot calmly.
The war horses galloped, roaring like thunder in the sky, shaking the grassland.
A wave of slaughter rose to the sky, shaking and winding, and the heavens and the earth became oppressed.
While running, Qin Huaidao shouted to the three pro-army generals: "The team is divided into three, scattered in a triangular formation, each commands, supports friendly forces, there must be no mistake, this general goes to fight, with a strong voice, driveββ"
Feeling Qin Huaidao's fighting intent, Bai Huwu spread his hooves and rushed over, leaving the three generals to look at each other, and quickly led an army to disperse, and acted according to Qin Huaidao's explanation.
