Chapter 010: White Horse (Part II)

Xianbei tooth tent, located in the west of Youzhou 600 miles, and 300 miles north of Bingzhou, also known as Shengle City.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people in Shengle City are still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of harmony, and in stark contrast is the meeting hall of the "adult" Tanshi Huai. The atmosphere inside was intense, suffocating as if it had been sprinkled with concentrated sulfuric acid.

The leaders of the eastern, central, and western tribes, as well as the leaders of the Ha tribe, the largest family in Donghu, were all trembling and accepting the reprimand of Tanshi Huai. But the faces of the leaders of the two divisions are not bad, although it is not necessarily schadenfreude, but it must not be worry. Because for them, it is possible to watch a joke.

The leader of Habu was full of shame, because he approved his youngest son Hahu to lead troops to Pancheng to avenge his eldest son Ha Xiao. The pain of losing a child made him unable to keep a clear head, and he believed that as long as the team of relatives had not reached the tent, the two states of Han and Xian could not be regarded as "relatives". Once the harmony is reached, Ha Xiao's revenge can no longer be avenged.

The eastern chief's face was gloomy, because Habe's actions had disrupted his course of battle. He believes that the massacre of Pancheng has broken through the bottom line of the Han Dynasty's peace and proximity, and the Han army will be continuously transported to Youzhou, build high city walls, and hold the city, and the plan to raid Youzhou will inevitably fail. So he was angry. But Habe is not only his subordinate, but also a tribe of close cronies of Tanshi Huai. In this regard, the eastern leaders dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Sandalwood is sandwiched between the east and Habe, one is his favorite general, and the other is his cronies. This made it difficult for him to choose to criticize the Kabe chiefs on the side of the eastern chiefs. But it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that Hahu, the youngest son of the leader of the Ha tribe, has just sent his subordinates to send news that Pancheng has been successfully captured, and the fate of 10,000 Han people has been controlled.

In order to avenge Ha Xiao, it is impossible to relieve anger by just killing these weak people. Hahu's target is the famous Donghu White Horse Yicong. He wants to destroy the most elite troops in Youzhou. For this reason, a circle was deliberately set up to slaughter a thousand people a day to attract Bai Ma Yi to fight. At the same time, he asked Tanshi Huai to send a large army to come, attack inside and outside, and completely swallow this elite army that made Karasuma fearful.

Tanshi Huai is thinking about whether to send troops to eliminate the White Horse Yicong. Because the harmony is in progress. His goal is not only the White Horse Yicong, but the vast Youzhou of the entire region. Originally, his plan was flawless, but now it was disrupted by Habe, and he was angry! After a tantrum throw, he calmed down and began to look for the best way to solve the problem.

Tanshi Huai flung several thin braids hanging on the side of his face to the back of his head, and decided sharply: "Habe acted without authorization and blocked my plan, and this crime will be counted in the future." Now allow you to make meritorious service as a substitute, and lead the remaining 7,000 horsemen of your headquarters straight to the west of Pancheng. Eastern Chief, which of your troops is closest to Pan? ”

"The Karasuma tribe and the white wolf tribe are both at the foot of the White Mountain on the border, and they are the closest to Youzhou."

"How many knights are there in each of the two divisions?"

"Thirty thousand from the White Wolf Tribe, Karasuma Tribe...... Five thousand. The eastern leader paused and replied truthfully. Because this number will inevitably cause the "adult" to reprimand.

"I distinctly remember that three years ago you were elected as the leader of the east, and I personally put the seventy-thousand-thousand-strong Karasuma tribe under your command. You're telling me now that there are only five thousand left of the Karasuma Knight? Don't go back to the east without a reasonable explanation. Tanshi Huai was quite angry. In the past three years, the knights of other tribes have only increased but not decreased, but the knights of the Karasuma tribe have decreased sharply, which is difficult for him to accept. Because the basis of Xianbei's unification of Donghu is a strong cavalry army.

"Returning to the 'lord', although the Karasuma tribe is nominally under my control, they have been doing their own thing, not listening to warnings, invading Youzhou without authorization, besieging the city, and returning with a great defeat every time. In three years, 80,000 knights have been killed. The reputation of 'Hakuba Yoshiko' also spread through the corpse of the dead Karasuma Knight. ”

"These stupid pigs!" Sandalwood gritted his teeth with hatred. "The cavalry is attacking the city, attacking the enemy with their own shortcomings, and it seems that the leader of the Karasuma tribe has to be replaced. Pass on my orders, the Kunlun God doesn't need a stupid pig to be the leader of the Karasuma tribe. Go back and have them elect a new leader. Then he and the White Wolf tribe lurked into Youzhou and assembled in the east of Pancheng. This time, in terms of numbers, our army has an overwhelming advantage, coupled with the advantage of combat strategy, this time we must completely eliminate this pseudo-elite known as the 'White Horse Righteous Servant'. Let not leave a single Han Dynasty army in Youzhou! ”

……

Twenty miles north of Jixian County, Baima Yi from the big camp. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Zhu Jinlong, Monkey, He Jie, and the three lieutenants, who had just inspected the entire battalion, were discussing matters in the tent.

The enemy's lonely army of 1,000 troops penetrated deeply, and instead of retreating immediately after victory, he carried out the abnormal behavior of slaughtering 1,000 people in one day, which aroused the vigilance of Liu Bei, Zhu Jinlong, and Jian Yong. But they couldn't figure out why the enemy was doing it. If it is a decisive battle to lure the enemy, this amount of strength does not seem to be enough to fight against the White Horse Yisu.

"Boss, this is the latest intelligence on northern Xinjiang collected by my army's sentry scouts the day before yesterday." Tian Kai led Liu Bei to the map, pointed to some places and said, "These places have places where the Xianbei army is assembled. But none of them have intruded on the border. ”

"Don't think about it. We have 3,000 cavalry, how can there be a reason why we can't kill 1,000 cavalry. The soldiers are fast, only two hundred miles, and they will set off tonight, and they will definitely arrive the day after tomorrow. Swallow this thousand Beidizi first! Zhang Fei saw that after discussing for a long time, he still didn't come up with any good strategy, thinking that it was better to kill the generals directly, anyway, the victory was his own.

Jian Yong thought for a long time, and suddenly understood: "Xianbei is under the guise of revenge, so that we feel that they are rushing, so we will inevitably encircle and suppress." Look, an army of the eastern Xianbeiha tribe has been moving west closer to the border. However, the intelligence of the day before yesterday showed that there was no trace. Calculated from the distance of the road march, it took two days to reach Pancheng. Then raid and occupy. ”

"I see. Ha Xiao, who died in Pancheng, was the eldest son of the leader of the Ha tribe. The reason they slaughtered the city was to get revenge. Zhu Jinlong further explained.

"But how to explain the slaughter of a thousand a day? Are they not afraid of being surrounded? "He Jie didn't understand talking to himself." Wouldn't it be easy to slaughter them all in one day? You can also get out of the way. ”

Jian Yong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "The enemy doesn't want to retreat at all!" The reason why a thousand were slaughtered a day was to create a reasonable reason for them to stay in the city. At the same time, a reasonable time difference was also given to prepare us to go to the siege. ”

"It's a trap!" Zhu Jinlong said busily. "Everybody come and see. There was not a single unit in the border area closest to Pan. Obviously, our sentinels were negligent. ”

"Nope. Not negligence. Instead, they deliberately hid it to send us a signal: the enemy in Pancheng is alone, so that we can rest assured and bold to encircle and suppress! Liu Bei said when he saw that everyone was puzzled. He's thinking about a strategy to deal with, so he's been silent.

"It's a trap!" Zhang Fei roared, ashamed of his recklessness.

"If you look at the map, Karasuma hasn't invaded the border for months, but their location is already in the area of the White Mountains, with the tribe called the White Wolf." Gongsun Yue was most familiar with Karasuma. "Every time Karasuma attacked, he would rush to the foot of the White Mountain and select good horses, and they had a large horse farm in that area."

This was also the biggest reason why the eastern chieftains tolerated Karasuma's disobedience to orders, and almost all of the good horses in the eastern Xianbei came from this large horse farm.

"Karasuma has about 5,000 knights, and the White Wolf tribe has 30,000 people. It can be seen that the white wolf tribe appeared in Karasuma's big horse farm, and it must be to replace the old war horses. As far as I know, the White Wolf Tribe has been invading Gaojuli in the eastern part of Xianbei. Traveled all the way to get here? They already have large ranches on the border with Goguryeo. ”

Jian Yong said: "If it is not bad as expected, the White Wolf Tribe is the external force of the enemy army in Pancheng. Even if we go to attack the city, we won't be able to take Pancheng in a day or two. At that time, if the White Wolf Tribe follows the secret path that Habe infiltrated, they will come to Pan City unnoticed. At that time, we will be attacked by the enemy, 30,000 enemy horses, and we will not even have a chance to escape. Destroy us, and there will be no more decent troops in Youzhou. At that time, even if the court endures the humiliation and continues to make peace, I am afraid that Xianbei will not agree. ”

"Mr. Jane is talented! Such a complex situation can be analyzed so clearly. Admirable. Zhang Fei has always respected talented people, and now he respects Jian Yong even more.

"The White Wolf Tribe has 30,000 cavalry, how to deal with this?" He Jie couldn't help asking. In his opinion, at the very least, this battle must be evenly matched. Otherwise, it is tantamount to killing yourself.

"Xuande, I'll leave this matter to you." Jian Yong saw Xuande's relaxed expression and guessed that the other party had already thought of a coping strategy.

When Jian Yong said this, everyone who had nothing to do was slightly excited, waiting for Liu Bei's words. And He Jie is the most excited one, he heard his brother-in-law say how powerful Liu Bei is, and now he wants to really see it and study hard.

"Xianhe is not only quick-witted, but also has a set of observations." Liu Bei said jokingly and asked everyone: "Because I still have very little contact with cavalry combat." So before I say the whole plan, there's one thing I want to know. Who can be sure that he will defeat an army of 30,000 cavalry with 1,000 cavalry in the plains? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Winning with a 1-30 ratio was something they never imagined. For the three major captains Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Gongsun Yue, who have been in cavalry battles for a long time, the best result is a big victory with a score of 1 to 5, which is a surprise attack and encirclement battle, and it takes advantage of the time and place. So at this moment, the three of them were silent.

Zhu Jinlong once had a record, that is, the Battle of Pancheng, where he wiped out Ha Xiao's 700 cavalry with zero casualties. But it was a small-scale operation, and it was the enemy who fell into a trap. If the battlefield had been moved to the plains, this victory would never have been like this.

Jian Yong doesn't know anything about military affairs, if it is to give advice, he can understand some. When it comes to specific command operations, he is powerless. While everyone was silent, the monkey, who had been silent, spoke.
