Chapter 449: Fat
Da Xi Changrudun soldiers on the riverside, the momentum is violent, and he intends to fight a battle to destroy the country.
And Yang Yan, who was facing the Eastern Turkic royal court north of Wuchuan and on the front line of Yinshan, was struggling to support at this time...... The same is the old monster left over from the Eastern and Western Wei periods, Yang Yan actually secretly admires Da Xi Changru, although this person is not famous in the Zhou State, but has always been known for daring to fight tough battles, Wei Chi Ping Shu, more than half of the credit according to the truth, all due to this person.
But admiration is admiration, Yang Yan is still a little dissatisfied with Daxi Changru's idea and strategy of marching into the army and destroying the Turks in a roundabout way.
The planned decisive battle is running out. If the Holy Lord's edict was to send troops at the beginning of summer, Yang Yan would certainly be sure to leave Ashina's picture, but now it is about to enter winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Yang Yan sometimes went out to inspect in the morning, and saw that the grass on the river and the creek was covered with a thin layer of frost, and then he would think:
Even if Pei Shiju's strategy is clever, the Turkic leaders such as the Turkic leaders should also wake up at this time, the Turks do not have sufficient food and grass supplies, and they can't take advantage of the slightest, they will definitely withdraw their troops and return north, so won't the Northern Expedition be a failure?
As early as the beginning of the Turkic turmoil, Yang Yan had reminded the emperor that he hoped that the emperor would make a decision as soon as possible, but there were always various miscellaneous voices that stopped his claim, and the emperor had made up his mind, and everyone had no ability to waver. Yang Yan had no choice but to do so, it was not an easy job to go out of the jam and fight with the Hu people in bad weather, he was waiting for Xi Changru's good news to come, but there was no news from Xi Changru's side.
Worse.
There are also different voices within the army as to whether this kind of feint attack should continue in the end.
"We simply don't wait, the Turks are like locusts, killing a batch and a batch, and if we wait any longer, I'm afraid that before we reach Xi Changru's success in digging the nest, we will be consumed by them instead! If you want me to say, let's just go out directly, destroy one of the main forces of the Turks, and then send people around and burn down the tents, cattle and horses of the Turks, which is just as great a achievement! ”
When everyone sat together to discuss, the tone of some of the generals was obviously anxious and full of anger, even the generals from the Khitans, who were the most hard-fought on weekdays, were also full of bitterness:
"Dudu, we feel that this weather is very unfavorable for warfare, and we should not go out to fight with the Turks again, not even at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain...... According to the general, there are only two ways left for our army now, either don't care about the side of the Jinyang army, and rely on our current strong strength to directly find the main Turkic force for a decisive battle, or retreat to Yanbei and don't entangle with the Turks any more. ”
The Khitan people have lived in eastern and southern Liaodong for a long time, and the climate there is not as strong as that on the grassland, so they know the terrible winter. In Liaodong, the winter wind can condense the ice ballast, and the cold air penetrates into any crevice of your clothes when you are not aware of it, as long as you stand outside for two hours, no matter how thick the leather armor is, it will freeze into popsicles, just like the fish that the Khitan people cut out of the ice on the river in winter, hard.
And it's not just snow, it's rain and snow!
First, the cold ice rain slapped chaotically, and then the hail smashed down on the head and face......
Don't go a day, and the road will turn into a pot of gruel, muddy and difficult to walk.
The Qi army wants to confront the Turks in the north, and it itself relies on logistics support, how can the Qi army ensure that its supplies can arrive safely in this bad weather? Moreover, the Turks are the most scoundrels, and they are as overwhelming as locusts when they follow the wind, even if they go against the wind, they send a team of horses to attack and disturb them, which will make the Qi army feel annoyed.
I don't want to hurt you, I want to disgust you!
They were almost certain that if this situation arose, more than 10,000 troops would not be able to return from the north, and the Turks would adopt the tactics of surprise attacks. The photographer on the opposite side has not moved for so many days, and he is still calm in the face of Qi Jun's provocative moves, which is obviously very unusual, that guy must be waiting for this moment, holding back his stomach with a bad stomach!
And what worries them the most is that the Qi army is fighting with the Turks, and at the beginning it is indeed overwhelming and invincible, but now it is gradually showing fatigue. Although the combat strength of the Qi army is strong, the ordinary Turkic wolf cavalry is not an opponent, but it is actually the inferior side, whether it is the manpower and material resources mobilized, or the geographical advantage and the time, they are not on their side, this is the grassland, it is the home of the Turks!
No matter how strong the Qi army is and how stoic it is, it can't stand the Turkic people who are pouring in like a tide!
In the final analysis, the Qi army's breakthrough was too deep, the battle line was too long, and once the situation was unfavorable, it would be difficult for them to retreat in their entirety.
At this time, a general with red eyes took the opportunity to report: "Since the beginning of the month, we have lost hundreds of old soldiers and twenty-seven scouts, and the strength of the Turks is gradually shrinking, and it is becoming more and more difficult to pass on the news...... Don't hesitate any longer, give the order for a decisive battle! The morale of the soldiers is high, and if it takes a while, the situation will be even more unfavorable to me. ”
The loss of so many old soldiers, these people are all killing talents for the rest of their lives, and they are the confidence of the Qi army to fight with the enemy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are still in a huge quagmire, and many people are desperate to get out.
But after listening to this, Yang Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"No, now is not the time to return to the south and retreat, the Holy Lord has already decreed, it is for our department to attract the main Turkic forces to confront, if I withdraw, the overall situation will inevitably collapse, and Your Majesty will take off our heads."
Someone's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Why don't we raid once and attract them to do it first, and then we look for an opportunity?" ”
————
Someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, Dudu, we will divide our troops and march at the same time, and attack the different main forces of the Turks at the same time, so that they can lose one and lose the other, and every inch will be in chaos!" ”
"I'm afraid that it will be us who will make a mess like this."
Yang Yan said coldly, he measured the distance between the Qi army and the currently known Turkic main force on the map with his fingers, and judged that the distance between the two was about thirty miles. While saying lightly:
"It's easy to encircle and annihilate in a surprise attack, so divide your troops and advance ...... If your troops are insufficient, it is likely that they will escape, and they will surround you when they come back, and the soldiers are taboo! ”
He thought for a moment, then ordered, "...... Regardless of the division of troops, inform the sergeants below not to sleep tonight and prepare for battle. Let's go ahead and pull out this Turkic camp across the river!
"Sneak attack, don't divide the order before and after, gather troops and advance, the cavalry will go first, and the rest of the troops, when the time comes, all will be killed."
"In this way, it can not only provoke the photograph, but also remove the obstacles to my return to the south."
As soon as this plan came out, everyone was stunned, and someone stubbornly said:
"Dudu, the nearest wolf rider seems to be due east, right?"
Yang Yan glanced at them with contempt, and said firmly: "Kill the farther one first, let's go back, and then kill the close one...... The Turks were not quick to react to me, and by the time they came to their senses, I had already killed the wolf rider across the river. If I don't chase them, I'll let them go for the time being, and if I catch up, it's the meat that will be delivered to my mouth, and I won't eat it for nothing. ”
