Chapter 324: Stratagem
North Mangshan, Rouran Chinese army camp.
The hour was just noon, and in such a tense atmosphere, it seemed that a luncheon was being held in the big tent of the Chinese army.
At this moment, sitting on the throne of the big tent is the main general of the Rouran army, Baturu. Under him are not only the generals of the various armies of Rouran and Yu Jiulu Rongzhi, but also Yuan Zhi and Yan Lanzhou who are sitting beside him.
Although Yuan Zhi came to Rou and then received a very high courtesy, he knew that these were just superficial forms, Rou Ran wanted his identity as a prince, and he wanted to use Rou Ran to regain the throne, and the two sides were just using each other.
Today, the reason why he and Yan Lanzhou can have a place in this Chinese army tent and sit in the top position is mainly because the main general Baturu adopted Yan Lanzhou's suggestions.
In terms of the degree of familiarity with the Northern Wei army, Baturu, who has fought with it many times, naturally has a deep understanding, but he was limited by various factors and Rouran did not have the purpose of fighting for a long time, so he won less and lost more against the Upper Wei army, but their captivity of the Wei border people also made them gain a lot of benefits.
And this time, while she was fat and strong, Rouran also wanted to try if she could wrestle her wrist with Da Wei head-on, and the current situation was just right today.
On the main seat, Baturu motioned for everyone present to raise a glass to Yan Lanzhou, for his advice.
After Baturu raised his glass, the original singing and dancing in the tent was still the same, and he only heard his voice say loudly: "This cup allows us to salute Mr. Yan, with Mr. Yan's plan, this victory in the first battle of the door must belong to us Rouran."
When Yuan Zhi saw Baturu raising his glass towards himself, he thought he was going to pay homage to himself, so he also raised his glass. But when Yuan Zhi heard Baturu's words, he felt embarrassed for a while, but he couldn't show it, so he had to raise his wine glass and turn his head slightly to look at Yan Lanzhou.
Yan Lan was shocked by this sudden scene, although this move was arrogant, but at the moment he couldn't confess to Yuan Zhen first, so he had to raise his glass and return the salute to the soldiers, Yan Lanzhou said respectfully: "The general is too famous, Yan is really deserved, thanks to His Royal Highness's advice, I have this strategy."
Yan Lanzhou's return gift was quite decent, although he mentioned Yuan Zhen, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just a scene.
Yu Jiulu on the other side couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "Mr. Yan must not be presumptuous, Mr. Yan alone is better than many people here."
Yu Jiulu's words are actually not exaggerated, and the Rouran soldiers are indeed lacking in the art of war compared to the Central Plains soldiers.
Compared with the powerful military system of the Great Wei, the strength of the Rouran cavalry or the Eight Tents of Rouran was mostly linked together by the personal charm of the generals, and the military strategy was also limited to the ability of the people who led the troops.
Yan Lanzhou not only read poetry and books, but also had profound insights on the art of war and strategy.
In addition, Yan Lanzhou had an understanding of the military of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so Yan Lanzhou was very useful in this operation.
Hearing this, Yan Lanzhou had to lower his posture even more, and said slowly: "It's a blessing that Yan can do his best. In fact, for the time being, this method still depends on the movements of the Great Wei soldiers and horses, and if it is really as I expected, our countermeasures will definitely be able to play a big role."
After Yan Lanzhou finished speaking, Batu Lulang on the main seat laughed loudly: "There is a high probability that the Great Wei soldiers and horses will take the initiative to attack, they are in a hurry, and they will definitely try their best to find our weaknesses, and we happen to give two breakthrough points, so they will definitely take the bait."
Baturu looked quite confident, and the real battle naturally had to be coordinated by the commander-in-chief, and Yan Lanzhou and his advisers could only provide reasonable advice, so Yan Lanzhou did not say anything more after Baturu finished speaking.
After a glass of wine, everyone poured their own wine, probably only Yuan Zhen had some mixed tastes in his heart.
If you want to regain your own power, you must learn from the king of Yue, Goujian, and you must try your courage.
And Yuan Zhen has been at the top of power for too long, so he may not be able to adapt to such a stark contrast for a while.
The Northland is unpredictable and unpredictable.
Just as Rouran was celebrating, Hou Mo Chen Jing and Gao Huan's troops had already completed their respective troops.
Hou Mo and Chen Jing rushed for a hundred miles, and Gao Huan needed strong mobility to contain them, so their respective subordinates chose to travel lightly.
The soldiers led by Hou Mo Chen Jing are considered to be the one that inherits the old Xianbei system the most in the Great Wei military camp, and the military attache in this department was also the old department of Hou Mo Chen Jing, so it is more convenient to cooperate.
This 5,000 soldiers have the ability to be no weaker than the Rouran cavalry in riding and shooting, which is also one of the reasons why Yuwentai dared to let Hou Mo Chen Jing lead the army to raid.
The role of Gao Huanbu is more to contain, so it needs to arouse Rouran's line of sight but not too deliberately for the enemy to recognize at a glance, so disguise has become a science.
In this regard, Gao Huan has his own plan.
Before leaving the customs, Gao Huan specially led a team of 100 people to tie easy-to-remove bells to the hooves of the horses, so that the sound made by the 100-man cavalry during the attack would greatly attract the attention of the Rouran scouts.
After being ready for a long time, the night in the Northland has quietly come.
When there was still a trace of remnant sun hanging in the western sky, Gao Huan led this army of 3,000 people to leave Yumen Pass with great fanfare.
Gao Huan deliberately let the hundred-man team be the vanguard, so not long after they left the Yumen Pass, the earth-shattering sound attracted the Rouran scouts hidden everywhere outside the pass.
Because Gao Huan's troops were going in the direction where the Rou Ran Scout was aware of this information, he immediately ordered someone to send it back to the Beimanshan military camp.
And because Gao Huan deliberately made his subordinates raise smoke and dust in the sky, the Rouran scouts did not dare to assert the number of Gao Huan's troops for a while, and only concluded that there were no less than 5,000 people.
Later, Gao Huan realized that the time was ripe, and immediately used the rear army as a cover to help the hundred-man team of the front army unload the bell on the horse's hooves.
The night soon came up, and Hou Mo Chen Jingbu, who was lightly armed, quickly walked out of the Yumen Pass in the dark night.
Because it was necessary to ensure the secrecy of the front army's gallop, Hou Mo Chen Jing ordered his troops not to carry torches, and the front army led the way to speed by moonlight.
Gao Huan's movement from Yumen Pass was very large, and then Rouran mobilized about half of the scouts to follow Gao Huan's department.
Therefore, when Hou Mo and Chen Jingbu secretly left the customs, the Rouran scouts did not receive the news immediately.
The news of Gao Huan's night attack on the Rou Wu Department soon spread back to the Rouran military tent, and at that time, Rouran and other senior generals were studying the simple sand table set up in the Chinese army's big tent to simulate and deduce various possibilities.
And when Baturu heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed, Baturu looked at Yan Lanzhou and said, "Mr. Yan, your prediction has really come true."
"Is there any other information?" Baturu asked anxiously as he looked at the scout.
When the scout heard this, he replied, "General, the Wei army that attacked the Xuan Wu army is very moving, and we dare not determine its exact number, but it is estimated to be around 5,000 people."
After the scout finished speaking, Baturu waved him down.
Yu Jiulu, Rongzhi, Yuan Zhen, and Yan Lanzhou all fixed their eyes on the direction of Gao Huan's march.
Gao Huan's march was neither fast nor slow, and the most important thing was that there was a lot of movement.
After the scout left, Baturu laughed loudly, "A man who leads a team of 5,000 troops is at least a military attaché, or even a general. Since they dared to target the spearhead at Xuwu, the defenders stationed in Jiuquan County would definitely follow. Zi Zichang, I'll give you 4,000 cavalry, do you dare to face the Wei army head-on?"
When the general, whose full name was Er Mianzi Zichang, heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and confidently received the order: "General, three thousand horsemen are enough."
Even after he finished speaking, several generals around him also scrambled to sit on this front.
It was also at this time that Yu Jiulu suddenly spoke, "General Baturu, I thought that Great Wei's move was very likely to be a suspicious formation."
Yan Lanzhou on the side couldn't help but nod when he heard this.
Baturu, who was still immersed in excitement, suddenly lost his excitement when he heard this, he looked at the sand table and frowned and asked, "What does the princess mean by this?"
Yu Jiulu Rongzhi briefly measured the distance between the Yumen Pass and the current garrison of the Yuwu Department with her hand, and then she said slowly: "General, the Great Wei Yumen Pass is still two hundred miles away from the garrison of the Xuanwu Force. If the general of the Great Wei Dynasty wanted to run a hundred miles, it would take at least a day and night, but if we really waited for that time, we would have already reacted, so why did we say that we would attack?"
Speaking of this, Yu Jiulu paused, raised his head slightly, and his gaze fell on Yuan Zhen on the side, "Does Your Highness also have an opinion?"
Hearing this, everyone in the tent unconsciously looked at Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen's expression was indifferent when he heard this, and he pointed to the sand table and said, "General, everyone, I also agree with Princess Rongzhi's judgment. If you run for a day and night to reach the Vort, it is no different from throwing yourself into a net."
After saying that, Yuan Zhen raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, which was the station of the two tribes of Yoturin and Afugan.
"Look, everyone, in contrast, the two divisions of Yoturin and Afugan are exactly about 100 miles away from Yumen Pass, if you take advantage of the night to march all the way, you will probably be able to reach it at dawn tomorrow. So I thought that this force was probably the bait for the Wei army to attack the west, and the real target of the other side was the two divisions of Yothurin and Afugan."
As soon as Yuan Zhi said this, Yu Jiulu nodded with satisfaction.
Although Yuan Zhi lost to Yuan Ke in the battle for the throne, this does not mean that he Yuan Zhi is a wine bag and rice bag.
Hearing this, Baturu was immediately enlightened, such a method is indeed disturbing people's hearts.
Baturu, who came back to his senses, looked at Yuan Zhi and asked, "How does Your Highness think we should deal with it?"
Yuan Zhi said slowly: "Since the Wei army has this plan, we might as well plan it, the Wei army pretends that the target is the Xuwu department, then we will pretend to believe it, and while cooperating with the Wei army, we will send a small force to help the Xuwu. On the other hand, the general needs to send a large army to open up the two divisions of Yothurin and Afugan, or we can first send a message to the two divisions to wait for the Dan, and finally we and the two divisions will encircle and suppress the Wei army."
Hearing this, Baturu laughed and said, "Your Highness's strategy is not inferior to Mr. Yan, just do this, just do it, I will order it immediately."
Yu Jiulu Rongzhi on the side has been paying attention to Yuan Zhen, and after Yuan Zhi finished speaking, Yu Jiu Lu Rongzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness is more ruthless in dealing with your own people."
Yuan Zhi said indifferently: "Princess Rong has passed the award, and she is just seeking her own government in her position."
After some discussion, Baturu immediately sent the general Atu and 5,000 troops to the east to block Gao Huan's army.
At the same time, Baturu also ordered Zi Zichang to lead 8,000 troops to avoid the sight of the Great Wei scouts from the northwest and rush to the aid of the two divisions of Yuturin and Afugan.
In order to interfere with Great Wei's line of sight, Baturu sent another team of 1,000 people on this basis to march straight towards Yumen Pass, trying to disperse Great Wei's sight with the joint efforts of the three parties.
Today's cloudy but cold winter rain has not fallen, which provides good climatic conditions for Hou Mo Chen Jing, who has been running for hundreds of miles.
After Hou Mo Chen Jing led his troops out of the customs, in order to avoid the sight of the Rouran scouts as much as possible, he sent four scout teams to open the way, so he marched twenty miles all the way without noticing anything unusual.
At the same time, Gao Huan, who pretended to rush to attack the Xuan Wu Department, saw that the time was almost right, so he immediately ordered the whole army to turn around and go straight to the Stone Fort.
At this moment, Ah Tu and the Ministry did not know the news that Gao Huan had turned, and the two sides were seventy miles apart.
I have to say that Gao Huan's military sense of smell is extremely keen.
Not long after the troops left Yumen Pass, Gao Huan had already sent people to closely monitor the movements of Rouran's soldiers.
Therefore, not only was the movement of Ah Tu and his department under Gao Huan's sight, but the thousand-person squad with extremely high mobility had already been noticed by Gao Huan.
Gao Huan not only wanted to retreat, but he also wanted to eat Rouran's thousand-person team in one bite, and his appetite and guts were not small.
Although this move was outside the original deployment, Gao Huan was confident that he would completely annihilate the enemy army and not be pursued by Rouran's headquarters.
Therefore, soon after returning to attack, Gao Huan ordered the military attache Tang Shuo to lead a thousand troops to march from the northwest, planning in advance to block the retreat of Rouran's thousand-strong team.
Soon after the order was given, Tang Shuo left the large army with a thousand soldiers, but for safety reasons, Tang Shuo did not march fast.
On the other side, Rouran's thousand-strong team soon left the northern foot of Beimang Mountain, fifty miles away from the Stone Fort.
Yi Qichu, the commander of this army, was not a fool, and further back, he obviously slowed down his march.
Because their purpose was to contain the sight of the defenders of Yumen Pass, Yi Qichu did not pay attention to the movements of Gao Huan's department.
Soon after Yuwentai received the movements of Yiqi's initial department, he also received the movements of Gao Huan's department.
The group deduced the feasibility of Gao Huan's move in the sand table, and unanimously agreed that the feasibility was extremely high.
Just when Yiqi's initial part was less than five miles away from the stone fort, he finally met Gao Huan's department head-on.
Because the terrain of the stone fort was complicated, and the darkness of the night was dark and the ruins and broken walls were not conducive to large-scale cavalry charges, so after the Rouran general knew that Gao Huan's troops were superior to him, he was not in a hurry to retreat.
Five, four, three......
After Gao Huan's troops continued to approach, Yi Qichu also realized that this Rouran army was coming at them, so he also chose to retreat.
But it was too late.
The two armies were not far apart, and Gao Huan ordered the whole army to charge.
Even if there are ruins and broken walls, even if the night is heavy and heavy, Gao Huanbu still moves forward bravely, and the distance of a few miles is instantaneous.
And the retreat speed of Yiqi's initial division was not slow, and it was orderly at first, but soon they encountered the resistance of the thousand people led by Tang Shuo.
Under this flanking attack, the initial part of Yiqi had to be forced to meet the enemy.
But at present, the terrain is already flat, and when the people of Yiqi are panicked at the beginning, Gao Huan and Tang Shuo each take the lead in the front and back.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing resounded throughout the four fields.
3,000 people encircled and suppressed 1,000 people in this case, but after three rounds, Gao Huan led the army to kill the Rouran Division, and in the end, it was only half an hour before he completely annihilated the Yiqi Division.
It was also at the end of the charge that the Beimangshan battalion received the news of the annihilation of Yiqi's initial army, and the Atu and the troops who interfered with the line of sight and went straight to the Xuwu department did not play any role.
This time, the head-to-head battle ended perfectly with Gao Huan's one hundred and fifty-seven deaths and two hundred and eight injuries.
After the victory, Gao Huan did not stay in the stone fort, but immediately led the army to retreat to a place less than twenty miles away from Yumen Pass to repair.
Gao Huan's sudden return is beyond the reach of the historical records of the Rouran army, and Gao Huan's courage is far beyond ordinary people.
The 1,000 men and horses of Yiqi's initial department were annihilated in this way, and Baturu in the Chinese army camp tent was still a little angry, mainly because he was aggrieved, and he also complained that Yiqichu had no brains.
But Yu Jiulu Rongzhi said: "In this way, the matter of our vision being disturbed will become more and more certain for Great Wei. The Han people have a saying that Saion will not be blessed if he loses his horse, and in the end, the general is not in a hurry."
It was the second half of the night after Gao Huan's troops completely annihilated the enemy army and retreated, and in the big tent of the Rouran Chinese army, a scout rushed back, and reported that he found another army of Great Wei that had raided the two divisions of Yutu Neighbor and Afugan, with a number of more than 5,000 and extremely high mobility ability, and was a very well-trained cavalry.
Hearing this news, Baturu changed his gloom and his heart was greatly lifted, and the Wei army must not know at this time that they had seen through the plan of attacking the east and the west, so that these five thousand people could be eaten by Rouran.
Soon after receiving the news, Baturu sent an order to the two divisions of Yuolin and Afugan to wait for the battle, and Zizichang to bypass the rear of the Wei army, striving to encircle and annihilate the Wei army at dawn tomorrow.
