Chapter 225: A Mess of Paste
Li Huai boarded the cabin and raised his hand to touch Shangguan's pretty face, "Did you hear it?" β
She nodded.
"You know, sooner or later, we're going to face this day." Li Huai said that the reason why he wanted to attack Jingtai was because he knew that if he didn't fight Jingtai, the Western Regions would also come to attack him.
simply hit in advance.
However, this is not a family matter.
"I promise you, I'll come back safely." Li Huai said gently.
That's what the men who went to war said.
But which time did it all?
Shangguan Keke reacted immediately, she knew that her current mood would not help anything except to make him worry.
She stood on tiptoe, put her hands around his neck, and kissed him gently.
"Don't rush too far ahead, you are the king of Liang, the backbone of millions of people in Liangzhou, anyone can fall, but you can't."
She was worried that Li Huai would go to war for the first time, and he would be enthusiastic and high-spirited, and he rushed to the front.
In fact, the Lord will never be involved in the charge.
The most important task of the commander is to command the battle, and the charge is usually a battalion-level lieutenant officer.
"Understood."
Li Huai said two words, hugged her thigh, and hugged her in his arms.
Shangguan Keke exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly beat his chest, "What are you going to do, someone will come later." β
"It's okay, the army is pulling, it will take some time."
Li carried her in, kicked her with his foot, and closed the door.
Shangguan Keke was speechless, didn't he come back from Yue Qianqian, how could he not use up his energy.
β¦β¦
Night falls!
Li Huai changed into a military uniform, rode a little white dragon, and was about to go.
Yang Dong rode over, "Lord Wang, please allow me to go with me." β
Although she did not attend the military meeting, and the participating officers would not leak secrets to her, after all, it was the sand table she had arranged.
She knew where Li Huai was going.
The same knows it will be dangerous.
But because you know the danger, you must follow it.
Li Huai nodded and agreed, Yang Dong had followed Yang Lingyun to fight for many years and had rich combat experience.
It just so happens that there is a lack of an expert around.
If she's really pushy, she might be able to remind her by the side.
Everything is ready to go.
Open up!
Li Huai led the White Horse Righteous Army, a pro-guard army, as well as an army drawn from the Zhenguo Army, plus half an artillery battalion.
First head south, go around to the central and southern section of Beidi County, then cross the Yellow River west, and arrive at Hexi before the early morning of the next day.
There is a mountain in the southern part of the Jingtai area, called Heishui Mountain, and between Heishui Mountain and the Yellow River, forming a sandwich.
A loess road in the middle is the only way to go.
Li Huai first hid the army in Hexi, ordered all the soldiers not to light fires, and then sent scouts to the west of Longxi County to reconnoiter and monitor every move of the Gaochang royal army.
He took Yang Dong, Li Xin, and a few guards to lie down less than a mile away from the clamp.
It was just dawn.
Li Huai took out the binoculars and glanced at them, "The two arrow towers are both facing south, there is a wooden village in the middle of the arrow tower, and the troops are deployed on the inner side of the wooden village, that is, on the north side, fifteen tents, about more than 300 troops, and no artillery positions have been found." β
"The cavalry patrol interval is a quarter of an hour, eight horsemen each time, and after walking out of the wooden village for about a mile, turn back, there is a sentry post on Heishui Mountain, and it is basically impossible to sneak in."
According to his narrative, Yang Dong drew a simple layout of the enemy's troops, and after drawing it, she asked once.
"Are you sure there are no cannons?"
"I can't see it, you can take a look." Li Huai handed her the binoculars.
Yang Dong picked up the binoculars and looked carefully at the most likely positions of the artillery position.
It's true that you can't see it, but you can't say that you don't have it.
If the enemy hides the artillery position on the side of the Blackwater Mountain, and does some vegetation camouflage, this position will not be visible at all.
She put down her binoculars and suggested: "I think we can send a small team to go around the back of Heishui Mountain first, and if the enemy has an artillery position, destroy it directly, and if no artillery position is found, take the sentry post on Heishui Mountain first, and at the same time launch a general attack on our side." β
This is critical.
The sound of the cannon is too loud, as long as it sounds, it will definitely attract the attention of the surrounding troops, then they will not have time to rearm.
Li Huai nodded, "I think it's okay." β
"I'll go."
Li Xin immediately asked: "I have followed the prince on the expedition, I have combat experience, and I only need thirty people." β
Li Huai nodded, "These thirty people are selected from the White Horse Righteous Army, you bring a red flag and a black flag, the enemy can open artillery, you will play the black flag, if the enemy has no artillery, or you have destroyed the cannon, then hit the red flag, no matter what flag you play, I will launch a general attack as soon as possible." β
"Yes!"
Li Xin went down.
After Li Huai and Yang Dong looked at it for a while, they also followed, first transferred five cannons over, hid under the hillside, and aimed at the side of Heishui Mountain.
If the enemy really had an artillery position, and Li Xin failed to destroy it, they would strike first and directly bombard the opponent's artillery position.
The rest of the artillery remained hidden west of the river.
After Li Xin passed, he first transferred a battalion to block the south side to prevent the enemy from rushing out to ventilate and report the news.
Li Huai personally led all the remaining troops and stayed at the bottom of the hillside as the general attack force.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The longer they stay, the easier it is to be discovered, but at this moment, there is nothing but waiting.
That's when it happened.
There was obvious commotion in the enemy camp, and they all headed in the direction of Heishui Mountain.
Soon after.
Brush!
A red flag was raised on Blackwater Mountain.
"Kill!"
Li Huai pulled out the long knife at his waist and pointed forward, and the cavalry hura galloped past him, turned over the hillside, and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of alarm bells sounded in the enemy camp.
The army, which was originally heading towards Heishui Mountain, immediately turned around and began to organize a defense to the east.
Before they closed the camp gate, they also released a cavalry and galloped to the south, that is, in the direction of the main force of the Gaochang king's army.
However, waiting for them ahead was the strength of a whole battalion.
Now.
Li Huai only needs to stand on the hillside and wait for the result, thousands of people fight hundreds of people, is there a second result?
When the cavalry all rushed over.
He still couldn't hold back, slapped the horse's buttocks, and followed the cavalry over the hillside, followed by the infantry.
"Lord Wang!"
Yang Dong exclaimed, but there were horses' hooves and killing sounds all around, and he was completely drowned out, so he had to follow.
Less than a mile away.
The cavalry sprinted at full speed and was still very fast, and the rest was in front of the enemy camp, and with scattered arrows, the hook was thrown at the enemy camp.
Then turn the horse's head, use the power of the war horse, and forcibly tear over the walled gate and the arrow tower, and then it will be simple.
Rush!
Kill someone you see!
Li Huai followed behind, holding a horse chopping knife, and without seeing a drop of blood, he had already reached the middle of the enemy camp.
Before the enemy's formation was even laid out, it had already been dispersed, and what was left was a massacre!
This battle came quickly and ended sooner.
After a few rounds of rush kills.
The enemy officers surrendered with the remnants.
"Protect the prince, be careful of deception!" Yang Dong rushed to say and immediately asked the guards to surround Li Huai.
The most dangerous time is not the process of fighting, but the beginning of the battle, when the vigilance has just been lowered.
The enemy lies on his stomach and pretends to be dead, waiting for people to approach, and directly come to the same end.
It's all experience.
Li Huai looked at the mixed battlefield, the battle in front of him had ended, and the cavalry had stopped.
The infantry behind was still rushing forward.
The clamp is almost untenable.
Li Huaicai realized that he still had to command, and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, let the infantry withdraw first, and dredge the road.
It took less than a quarter of an hour to annihilate the enemy, but the evacuation work took half an hour.
This is a big mistake.
δΈδΈιθΏζδΈζ―ζδΊΊδΌε ΅οΌδ»δ»¬ζ€ζθΏζ ·οΌι£ε°±ε¦εζ―η²ζΏδΈηι±Όθγ
Before he was killed by the enemy, he squeezed himself to death.
That's a lesson.
As soon as the road was cleared, the battlefield began to be cleared, the cavalry withdrew outside, and the infantry came in to re-establish camp.
At the same time, most of the artillery battalion was pulled in and deployed to the east of Heishui Mountain and Jiakou.
Yang Dong asked Li Huai to keep one-third of the artillery and deploy it at the rear of the camp to be used as a reserve.
Dig a stumbling pit outside, collect stones and timber from the vicinity, and rearrange the gate.
Yang Dong also asked Li Huai to arrange a few more sentry towers on Heishui Mountain, not only to have a clear sentry, but also a dark sentry.
Leave a part of the cavalry in the west of the river to defend the flanks, and at the same time can be used as rangers, cooperate with each other, and form a corner.
Li Huaiquan listened to her, and only then did he realize at this moment that after reading so many military books, how could his brain become a mess at a critical time.
All the work is scheduled.
Li Xin also returned from Heishui Mountain, and was slightly injured.
"There is indeed an artillery position on the side of Heishui Mountain, with a total of six cannons, but they didn't expect us to sneak attack, completely defenseless, we touched in front of them, and they found out that I slaughtered all their artillery."
"Good."
Li Huai patted him on the shoulder, "You go to rest first, bandage the wound, and credit all of you." β
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Li Xin and the others left happily.
Subsequently.
The enemy's supreme commanding officer was pressed in front of Li Huai.
When he saw Li Huai, he scolded.
"King Liang, you are treacherous, the Western Regions and Yu are allies, if you don't declare war, you will be spurned by the people of the world."
Li Huai smiled coldly, "Do you see any ally who stares at others building cities every day and sends people to sabotage?" β
To say who started this war.
If they really want to investigate it, they still have to blame themselves, if it weren't for the Gaochang Wang's forces being so tight, he wouldn't want to fight.
"I'm not starting a war, I just want a chance to make peace with your King Gaochang."
After Li Huai finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked people to take him down.
