Chapter 229: The main force arrives
Boom! Boom!
War drums beat, trumpets blow.
The second round of offensive and defensive battles on the eastern battlefield is in full swing, and Li Huai is still the scattered formation suggested by Yang Dong.
The two sides have been fighting back and forth.
It is estimated that no results will be produced.
on the main road.
Tu Nao's troops braved the baptism of artillery, and they had almost filled the stumbling pit, and the shield soldiers had all taken it back.
Li Huai knew that the enemy's main attack was about to begin, and the Liang army was also ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Brush!
Tu Nao pulled out the two scimitars on his waist.
"Brothers, warriors, can you agree to the invasion of our land by the Liang army?"
"Can't!"
The Western Regions and the Central Plains have a somewhat different way of fighting, and many times, their main generals are mixed in the charging team.
This is also the reason why the generals of the Western Regions have generally high cultivation, and if their cultivation is low, they will not survive at all.
"Then follow me......"
Tu Nao's knife was half swung.
"Attack now!"
"Attack now!"
“……”
The herald carried an eagle totem flag, shouted and rushed up, this flag represents that the four words just now were said by Chun Yuyue, the king of Gaochang.
Tu Nao's mind was dark, and he had just sent a letter, blaming him for delaying the attack, and now he was asked to stop.
What the hell do you want to do?
But this was an order from King Gaochang, and he had no choice but to withdraw all the troops on the front line, including the army that was attacking from the east.
Then he retreated three miles and joined the main army, waiting for a new round of instructions from King Gaochang.
It's about to be a big one.
It was withdrawn.
Li Huai was also a little confused, he picked up the telescope and swept it back, although the night was very thick, he could still see that there seemed to be a black river flowing in that direction, stretching with no end in sight.
"The main force of the Gaochang Royal Department is here!"
He was expecting a big one, but a bigger one was about to happen.
Glancing up at the sky.
The moon has set in the west.
It was less than two hours before Qi Yuanbai attacked the Jingtai region, and I don't know if they were ready.
After all, it is necessary to mobilize tens of thousands of troops and prepare for occupation, and the transportation of this material is not a simple matter.
But no matter what the situation, it can only go according to the original plan.
Military orders cannot be changed!
Yang Dong snatched the binoculars from Li Huai's hand, and after taking a look, he raised his head and said, "Lord Wang, let the Hexi cavalry feint!" ”
"Now?" Li Huai was surprised, is it necessary to use the rangers so soon? He thought it was a trick.
"The main force of the Gaochang royal department has just arrived, and before they can gain a firm foothold, Tu Nao led his troops to pick them up, which means that they have blocked the two ends by themselves, and this is the opportunity to attack."
Yang Dong explained that although the Western Regions were brave, they had not fought much in large-scale corps wars after all, and they despised the Liang army, so they made such a low-level mistake.
"However, don't think about war, if you see a baggage cart, put a few fires and withdraw, if you don't see a baggage cart, throw a few fires, and then withdraw." Yang Dong instructed.
Li Huai immediately asked the herald to convey the order, and it didn't take long to cross to Hexi from behind.
No delay at all.
"We can take advantage of this time to rebuild the position to the east, and we can dig improvised gullies from the ravines, fill them with gunpowder, and cover them with a layer of dirt and hay."
Yang Dong continued, the firearms produced in Liangzhou, she was shocked for a while after learning the quantity.
When the meal is enough.
She really didn't understand why Li Huai was so partial to firearms.
So there's a waste of capital.
She also knew that Li Huai had an extremely mysterious army, and few people in the Liang army knew about it, and this army was among his White Horse Rebellion.
"Don't connect these ravines, you can arrange them one by one, so that the enemy can't judge the truth and the false." Yang Dong added.
Li Huai smiled suddenly, "After listening to your words, I suddenly thought of mine warfare, and it really looks a little like a god." ”
Yang Dong raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Mine warfare? Which dynasty is the war? How I've never heard of it. ”
"Nothing, you continue." Li Huai was vague, but he was thinking in his mind, there seems to be a mine.
"Then dig foxholes in the back, so that when the enemy rushes in front of them, they can't gather together." Yang Dong said.
Li Huai did everything she said.
Soon.
There was a fire on the main road, and the rangers had already launched a harassing offensive against the Gaochang royal army, and after throwing some torches, they immediately withdrew.
But the fire did not get smaller, but it grew stronger and stronger, and it took a while before it was brought under control.
"You are really clever, compared to what Zhuge Villager has." Li Huai exclaimed, now there is no way for the Gaochang royal army to launch an attack immediately.
"Who is Zhuge Villager?" Yang Dong's eyes widened, and he asked curiously, why does the prince always say something that people can't understand.
"Uh...... Zhuge Villager, he is ...... A villager. Li Huai was vague again.
"Let's rest for a while, and tell the firehead army to make food." Li Huai said, the latter sentence is said to the herald.
Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to fight.
For many people, I'm afraid this is the last meal, but it can't be helped, war always kills people.
Master Wuliu said well, war is a group of people to kill another group of people, and at the same time be killed by that group of people.
But Li Huai is different from him.
He doesn't like to complain, and he can face everything that happens, and everything that will happen.
"I figured it out, the Liang army has a ranger in Hexi, with its back to the Yellow River, and it has also erected a pontoon bridge."
In the Gaochang royal department, everyone could feel that the atmosphere was very depressing.
Chun Yuyue glanced at Tu Nao with a helpless and sarcastic expression, a veteran who had followed him for many years and had made great achievements.
But one night, he committed a sin that he could never forgive, and first invited Li Huai out for dinner.
Then, he didn't even realize that there was still an ambush in Hexi.
This fire burned a lot of supplies, including a few cannons, a few carts of gunpowder, and siege equipment.
Fortunately, the control was timely.
Otherwise, there would be no need to fight this battle.
Tu Nao's face remained calm, he knew that at this time, he should be silent, but he still had the obligation to explain.
"The enemy's commanding officer is very sophisticated, and he or she is not inferior to the talent of a general, and he (she) can give full play to the advantage of stragglers."
No matter how good the formation is, after being attacked, or when attacking, there will be unpredictable deformations.
If you can control the spread of stragglers and stabilize the formation relatively steadily, you can be considered an excellent officer, and you can give full play to your advantages.
It must be a general!
Tu Nao wanted to remind them that they must not underestimate the enemy.
However.
His words caused more ridicule.
Tu Nao didn't seem to see it, he continued to say what he knew, "Also, the number of enemy artillery is unpredictable, I have been attacking for so long, and not a single cannon has been fired in Heishui Mountain, which is a great threat to our cavalry." ”
"Enough!"
Chun Yuyue didn't want to listen to these excuses, which would make him lose his last bit of love for the veteran.
"I have obtained information from Liangzhou, and there will be no more than one army guarding the mouth of Heishui Mountain, at most 16,000 people."
"We have 80,000 elite soldiers, can't we capture a single gap?"
Ha ha!
Everyone laughed, no one thought that the Liang army could resist their attack, just waiting for them to be ready.
You can go on the offensive.
Tu Nao saw that his kind words didn't have any effect, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "We have not fought such a large-scale corps war for many years. ”
"We should now pay the price for not participating in the war against the Northern Wilderness!"
Although the Liang army is a new army, the army of Yu State is a fight, first a Yu country, and then fought with the Northern Wilderness for so many years.
Decades of war experience, the accumulated energy, unpredictable, which means that the growth rate of the Liang army will definitely be faster than they think.
Syllable!
When Chun Yuyue heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table, "Tu Nao, are you afraid?" ”
"I ......" Tu Nao also wanted to explain.
The lieutenant general beside him grabbed him and shook his head at him, at this moment, he must not say anything that affects the morale of the army.
"I'm not afraid, I follow orders." Tu Nao could only hang his head helplessly.
"An hour later, launch an attack on the position of the Liang army, and within two hours, before the sun comes out, take the mouth of Heishui Mountain!"
Chun Yuyue said angrily.
"Yes!"
The expressions on the faces of all the officers indicated that it was a very simple matter.
However...... It took them an hour and a half to prepare for the attack......
