23. The Siege of Liaoshan (II)

Dust and smoke swept the sky, a great earthquake roared, and horses neighed.

In the distance, Jiangnan saw the Mobei Iron Cavalry rushing towards them.

The two sides directly collided with each other, directly facing each other.

A man with bright eyebrows, a high nose and a wide mouth. The middle-aged man from Mobei, who looked quite majestic and had a commanding style in his gestures, rode on a war horse, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw a cavalry dressed in vermilion armor and a handsome flag held high on the opposite side.

"Zhu Jiajun, Shuai Qi. This is the soldiers and horses led by Jiang Nan, the general of Youzhou. ”

The face of the Mobei general named Yaoli changed drastically.

If you encounter other enemy commanders and the other side only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and your side has the advantage of troops, then the Yaoli people will have to laugh to death.

But the other party is the Liujia Army, or the most elite Zhujia Army in the Liujia Army.

Yaoli's face turned green.

The Mobei cavalry, who often fought with the Liujia Army, couldn't help but panic when they saw the Zhujia Army coming from the opposite side.

Subconsciously involuntarily strangled the horse's rope.

But the cavalry was rushing, and the front suddenly dropped its speed, and the back directly collided with the rear.

Suddenly, the man turned on his back.

The screams of men and horses were incessant.

Before the battle, there was major chaos on the Mobei side.

If something happens over there, Jiangnan won't stop.

With a wave of his hand, his armor army divided into two groups and scattered towards the left and right flanks.

Bow and arrow.

Countless arrows rained down.

Shui Yun couldn't help but raise his spear.

"For the people of Qi who died tragically under the sword of Mobei, for the soldiers and brothers of Qi who died in the hands of Mobei, for the sake of Qi country! The soldiers of Qi country rush with me! ”

With a golden crown on his head, a water cloud wearing a black armor, a spear in his hand, and a woman who did not let her eyebrows, she led the cavalry of Qi State to charge towards the enemy army in Mobei.

Jiangnan's Zhu Jiajun moved, so she couldn't watch it.

β€œa....”

Jiang Nan was shocked when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to stop Shui Yun.

But she had already charged, and the Qi army had already followed and rushed, and there was no way to retreat.

"Foolish, I'm c!"

Jiang Nan couldn't help but scold.

Didn't you see that his cavalry was using tactics against the enemy army in the north of the desert?

As soon as the Qi army rushed forward like this, how could his cavalry still use tactics.

You'll get hurt by mistake.

"Let the wings detour to the rear."

Jiangnan immediately gave an order to his heralds.

Now he can only let his Zhu Jiajun go around and attack the enemy's rear soldiers.

This behind-the-back tactic is risky.

It is easy to be surrounded by the front army in a roundabout way, which leads to the destruction of tactics.

However, the enemy's front army was already in chaos before the battle, so there was no need to worry too much.

But after all, it is a war, and the risk can be reduced.

There are many examples of one misstep turning into hatred for eternity.

Jiang Nan couldn't help but sigh when he saw Shui Yun leading the Qi army into the enemy's formation, drinking blood with spears, fighting bravely against the enemy, and fighting Mobei at close range: "Empress, cavalry doesn't play like this."

"Give me the bow and arrows."

Jiangnan took the longbow.

He is the commander, and cannot enter the battle to kill the enemy.

So Jiang Nan didn't understand why Shui Yun, as the master of an army, rushed into the enemy formation.

You can only use bows and arrows to help Shui Yun share the pressure and reduce the losses of the Qi army.

"Whoosh."

The tail of the arrow trembled, and with the air current, it broke through the air at great speed.

A Mobei cavalryman was not only pierced through the neck, but also flew off his horse.

Jiangnan, which is blessed by internal force, can shoot far and far, and the power is also very large.

Kill these chaotic Mobei cavalry.

It's like killing a chicken and killing a duck.

In less than a cover of incense, Jiangnan has already sent more than a dozen Mobei cavalry to the west.

Extremely efficient.

The only thing that can limit him now is the quiver.

As long as there are enough arrows, he can kill hundreds, if not thousands.

He took out the eighty-ninth arrow from the third quiver, and was about to drink blood for it.

A cavalryman rushed to the vicinity and hugged his fist and said: "General, I found another Mobei cavalry thirty miles away, the number is extremely large, listening to the sound of the ground, I am afraid that no less than 50,000 are coming."

Jiang Nan, who had already entered the state of seducing his soul and taking his life, suddenly looked at him when he heard the words.

"Are you sure?"

"Subordinates are sure."

Jiang Nan's expression became solemn, the bowstring in his hand was released, and he killed another Mobei cavalryman.

"Fifty thousand iron horsemen? Is it the main force in Mobei? I'm really lucky. ”

That being said, his face was a little unpleasant.

If all the Rokka's troops were there, he would definitely be ecstatic.

But now Wujia is not around, and against the main force of Mobei, it is looking for death.

Jiang Nan's cold eyes looked at the battlefield.

This enemy army is somewhat numerous, probably twenty or thirty thousand men.

His tactics are not the kind of quick ones that can cause a lot of casualties, but they require time and space to constantly pull and consume.

Gradually pull from small casualties to large casualties.

If the Liujia Army is here, tens of thousands of people, the size is there, even if it is a small injury, it is a big injury, and this tens of thousands of enemy troops will soon be wiped out.

But now there is only one armor, and if you want to make the enemy suffer heavy casualties, it is not so fast.

Jiangnan now estimates that this enemy army has lost more than 10,000 people.

Thirty miles, soon enemy support arrived, and if you don't retreat, you'll be in trouble.

"Let the Zhu Jiabing immediately withdraw and support the Qi army." The south side of the river sinks like a waterway.

The herald soldiers around him immediately raised the flag in their hands to convey Jiangnan's order.

"Everyone pick up their melee weapons and charge with me."

Jiang Nan also took out his spear, took the guards around him, and rushed into the battle formation.

The battlefield was like a hell on earth, filled with the screeching sound of swords clashing, the air was filled with disgusting blood, shouts of killing were everywhere, and the bloodied Qi soldiers were fighting to the death, slashing with their knives and rolling out of their throats like wild beast-like roars.

"Poof."

A Mobei cavalry was directly picked out by Jiangnan.

He came to the vicinity of the water cloud, which was already covered in the blood of the enemy, and shouted: "Immediately take your men and horses and retreat, and we will give you a cushion."

β€œοΌŸβ€

The red eyes became blood-colored, and Shui Yun swept towards Jiangnan in confusion.

"Don't ask so much, just listen to me."

Now on the battlefield, if the Mobei support is spoken out and shouted, won't the morale of the Mobei army be high.

"Later."

Jiang Nan was afraid that Shui Yun would be unreasonable, so he insisted on asking, so he specially added another sentence.

Shui Yun didn't say much, she turned the dock,

"Withdraw."

Shui Yun shouted loudly.

The Qi army immediately began to retreat.

The Mobei cavalry wanted to stick to it, but they were transferred back to the vermilion soldiers who were in the formation and gave them a blow.

"Flutter."

"Flutter."

Holding a broadsword, Zhu Jiajun rushed left and right, unstoppable, and the prancing horse slashed high, blood splashed everywhere like goose feathers, and blood stained the earth.

The Rokka's melee combat is a little worse than that of mounted archery, but a little worse does not mean that their ability is not a trump card.

"Kill and retreat."

Jiang Nan's face was also infected with the blood of the enemy, he didn't care so much, just ordered.

Now that the Qi army has withdrawn, then it is time for the Zhu Jia army.

He asked the Zhu Jiajun to break off the Qi army, fearing that the Qi army would be stuck and unable to get out, which would lead to the annihilation of the Qi army.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the Zhu Jiajun forcibly cut off.

In just this short period of time, Jiangnan saw dozens of Zhu Jiajun die under the indiscriminate knife.

It made Jiangnan angry and distressed.

These are all soldiers he has carefully trained in a hundred battles.

But melee combat is so brutal.

Under the chaotic sword, even the most elite soldiers in a hundred battles will die in an instant.

Sometimes whether you can survive on the battlefield depends on luck.

Therefore, Jiangnan wants to protect the Qi army.

It's worth losing a few people for a few thousand combat effectiveness.

The Zhu Jiajun was strong enough, and after paying more than 100 casualties, it successfully distanced itself from Mobei.

The quiver and the arrows turned around and drew their bows and shot arrows.

Let the Mobei cavalry not dare to chase anymore.

"Why do you want to retreat?"

Shui Yun, who was waiting in front, saw Jiang Nan withdrawing and immediately hurriedly asked.

She was red-eyed, and she said that she would withdraw, and the fire was a bit big.

"They have support, at least 50,000 people have come to support, and now it is estimated that it will not be a few kilometers away."

Jiang Nan said gloomily.

"With so many troops, it should be the main force of Mobei."

"Ahh

Shui Yun's expression changed drastically, and his red eyes looked at Jiang Nan in horror.

"Then should we withdraw immediately?" The meaning of water cloud is to run away.

"If you want to retreat, you will also retreat to the area of Yingshan."

Jiangnan Shen Road.

The assembly point of his main force was at Yingshan.

"Then let's retreat to Yingshan."

Shui Yun said immediately.

Jiang Nan shook his head suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Shui Yun's face was puzzled.

"That's our assembly point, and the other 5 routes are different, there will be early arrivals and late arrivals. If we go to Yingshan, we will lead the main force of Mobei over, and then we will be in trouble. ”

Shui Yun's eyes widened, staring at Jiang Nan blankly, unable to speak.

Jiang Nan pondered for a moment, and he looked at the mountains looming in the distance.

It was Liaoshan that he had just come to.

A bold plan appeared in Jiangnan's mind.

"I sent a team of cavalry to Yingshan as soon as possible, we retreated to Liaoshan, attracted the main force of Mobei, and after the 5th Route Army of Yingshan joined forces, reinforcements were sent to us.

Shui Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his red lips couldn't help but open slightly, and he was directly shocked.

"How many people do we have now."

"We must have more than seven thousand people combined." Jiang Nan estimated that the casualties of his Zhu Jiajun should be six or seven hundred, and if you round it up, you can count the remaining four thousand.

The Qi army should have suffered heavy losses, estimated at about 2,000 men.

"How many are there in Mobei."

"If it is really the main force of Mobei, it is more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it may even be 200,000 or 300,000."

Shui Yun almost couldn't hold the spear in her hand, and she exclaimed: "There are too many problems, 7,000 people against 100,000 people..... Even if the other 5 soldiers and horses do not lose the slightest, 50,000 against 100,000, then they are outnumbered, let alone 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"The terrain of Liaoshan is favorable, the terrain there is narrow and long, which is not conducive to their cavalry charge, we are condescending to defend it, and it is not so easy for them to capture it."

Jiang Nan said seriously to her.

"We only need to hold out for a few days, and when the 5th Route Army is combined, then the main force of Mobei will be over."

"At least 100,000, 200,000, 300,000."

"People are sometimes empty, it is impossible to fight to the death, if they can't attack for a long time, the morale of the army will inevitably be frustrated, and when we concentrate our forces to attack the Chinese army, then the situation will be decided."

"But we only have 7,000 men, how can we keep it?"

Shui Yunxiu's face was very ugly.

"As I said, the terrain is long and narrow, and it is impossible for them to attack all at once, and there are tens of thousands of people in the sky, how can they defend it for a few days if they resist it with archery, and then fight it with swords."

"At that time, Han Gaozu lightly advanced the enemy and personally commanded 30,000 vanguard troops, but was surrounded by the Xiongnu for seven days with 400,000 fine horsemen, but the Xiongnu could not attack it for a long time."

Gangnam directly moved out to an example.

"Although I only have 4,000 armor soldiers, I think that if I encounter the 30,000 vanguard troops of Gaozu, even if it is a white-knuckle battle, I believe that my Zhu armor army can win."

His Zhu Jia army is the elite selected by the other five elites, the five are the trump cards in the elite, and the Zhu Jia is the trump card among the trump cards.

Shui Yunxiu couldn't help but be speechless.

Jiang Nan glanced at Shui Yun and said, "You go to Yingshan, I'll stay here."

"Thousands of soldiers and horses, Mobei knows that it is me, and he will definitely try his best to strangle me, the more they can't attack, the more unwilling they are, and the more unwilling they are, the more they want to attack."

"You're a soldier." Shui Yun felt that this was not a dangerous move, but a search for death.

Thousands of people against hundreds of thousands of people, even if the terrain is convenient, but the risk is extremely high.

"I dare to use 30,000 soldiers and horses against hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Mobei, which already shows that I am sure. Okay, don't say any more, I'm up to it. ”

Jiang Nan didn't want to explain to Shui Yun.

Difficulty.

Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Mobei, there are actually not many that can really fight.

Most of the combat effectiveness is the same as that of the Wandering Army, the kind that is given to the battlefield with weapons.

The reason why Mobei is very powerful is that compared with the homeless, they have the skills of riding horses and archery.

To deal with the army of the Central Plains that farms in peacetime and fights in wartime, Mobei has two more skills, and is equipped with god horses, and the galloping of thousands of horses can cause a domineering impact of the overlord color, which naturally looks very strong.

Putting these aside, it essentially does not change the combat effectiveness of ordinary people.

When encountering a well-trained and strong army, it is a situation of being violently beaten.

1 directly hits 3, and the more the number, the exponential increase.

What Jiang Nan is worried about now is that he didn't wear heavy armor this time, and he planned to destroy Mobei with a light cavalry movement war, so it was all cloth armor, and the defense was not very good.

There are only a number of soldiers in his hands now.

If only Rokko were all here.

Jiangnan dared to directly attack the main force of Mobei and penetrate their Chinese army.

No matter how many people there are, there are only tens of thousands of people who can really attack the Rokko Army.

It's not like hundreds of thousands of people can stab at the same time and cause damage at the same time.

In this case, no matter how elite the Liujia army is, it will not be able to withstand it.

..........

"More than half of the loss, this is the battle report you gave me?"

In the tent, Abaoji's face turned pale, even though he expected it.

However, the casualties were as high as 30 percent.

It still makes Abao tremble.

"With so many people lost, how did you come back alive?"

Abaoji was furious, angrily reprimanding the Yaoli people who were half-kneeling below and covered in blood.

"Say! Are you playing dead? ”

Abaoji's eyes widened, and he roared angrily.

"Take off your armor and I'll see if you have any new wounds."

Since there is a history of fighting Jiangnan, the people below have gradually used the method of pretending to be dead to avoid the death battle.

Therefore, the Rokko Army had to mend the sword after each battle.

made Abaoji feel that he was about to lose his face, and he often scolded angrily, thinking that he could get away with pretending to be dead, and the cruel Liujia Army would not let you go.

He also had a severe punishment.

But it didn't work out well.

The people who pretend to be dead are repeatedly banned, and it is clear that the Liujia Army will not let go, so why not fight to the death.

Abaoji couldn't figure it out at all.

Yaoli people were embarrassed and said: "King, although his subordinates have been defeated, this army is the Zhujia army led by Jiang Nan himself."

He knew the king's hatred for Jiangnan, and as long as he told the king this news, he could also atone for his sins.

Sure enough, Abaoji rushed to the steps and glared at him, "Zhu Jiajun? Are you sure that this army is the Zhu Jia Army, and it is personally led by that guy in Jiangnan, and he has his handsome banner? ”

"Yes! The subordinates also saw King Qi. ”

Yaoli hurriedly said again.

Abaoji's eyes were full of shock, and then turned into surprise: "We actually met this bastard of Jiangnan directly."

It was a big surprise.

Crash directly into the enemy commander's troops.

This is.....

"Eternal Heaven bless!"

Abaoji was overjoyed and shouted to the sky and stretched out his hands.

Suddenly something came to him.

"Then what about their current people, I asked you to drag this army, have you dragged it?" Abaoji asked repeatedly.

"I'm all defeated, and I'm still asking this kind of thing." Yaoli sighed in his heart, and barely squeezed out a smile and said: "They retreated suddenly, they should have learned that the king was coming, so they ran away."

He also understood why Jiangnan suddenly retreated when he fought just right.

The smile on Abaoji's face suddenly froze, he stared at Yaoli people, and his expression gradually became hideous: "Didn't I let you drag him down?"

"The Zhujia Army is too strong, we can't hold them back at all, your lord, you know the combat power of the Liujia Army." Looking at Abaoji's angry appearance, Yaoli people panicked and hurriedly said in fear.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know."

Abaoji's eyes were surging with bloodthirsty killing intent.

This is the opportunity given to him by Changshengtian, and he actually missed it?

"Someone's coming....."

Abaoji shouted outside in a rage.

He's going to behead this Yaoli man.

Back then, he was so brave in unifying Mobei, and after the iron horse went south, he always suffered defeat, and Feira was unbearable.

Civil War Insider, Foreign War Outsider.

What's the use of keeping it.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Stand down. ”

At this moment, Shu Liduo walked in and drank away the two Mobei soldiers who were called in.

"Queen, what do you want to say?"

Abaoji said coldly to Shu Liduo: "You are here to buy people's hearts again?"

Every time he wanted to dispose of some people, she, the queen, would stand up and protect them.

For the sake of entrepreneurial husband and wife, he didn't say anything.

Later, slowly, he felt that something was wrong.

Many tribal leaders and Mobei generals listened to her very much.

Before she knew it, the queen's power had become very large.

Sometimes you have to be restrained by the queen to do a lot of things, and you have to ask the queen for her opinion.

However, his opinion was not very good, but many of the queen's opinions made him feel very right.

Abaoji was directly depressed.

"King, the former army found a good news, that Jiangnan did not run, they retreated to Liaoshan." Shu Liduo walked to the top of the throne and sat down, and said to Abaoji: "Now is the time to employ people, the people of Yaoli have been fighting with the king for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, so it is better to let him make meritorious service."

"You're telling the truth."

Abaoji was shocked: "This guy in Jiangnan didn't run!" Didn't he know that my army was coming? ”

"Maybe you know, maybe you don't."

Shu Liduo frowned and thought, "Liaoshan is long and narrow, and it is indeed a good place to defend. Now that they have divided their forces, he has retreated there, is he trying to lure us? Wait for his other soldiers to arrive, and then join forces inside and outside? ”

"How dare he be so bold?"

Abaoji was shocked, and said with a smile angrily: "He doesn't take my 200,000 army in his eyes at all!" How! Do you want to annihilate us completely? ”

This is nothing short of blatant contempt.

Use yourself as bait and use the terrain to block their 200,000 army with the strength of a few thousand men.

So confident, so arrogant.

I also want to be inside and out.

Abaoji felt that his mortal enemy was really crazy.

When his army of 200,000 is papier-mΓ’chΓ©.

It was as if he saw Jiang Nan, standing on a high mountain, scanning his army and him with contemptuous eyes.

"King, we should divide the troops and horses in two ways, surround Bao all the way without attacking, consume their food, they definitely don't have much food when they come from afar, we just need to consume him, take his Zhujia army hungry, and then we will attack. The other road was on the periphery, fending off his support. ”

"In addition, he must send soldiers and horses to convey the news, we must take the initiative to attack, send soldiers and horses to solve them, can we not let them support..."

Shu Liduo expressed his opinion, but the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.

Because Abaoji's face is getting colder and colder.

After a long silence.

"Queen."

Abaoji spoke, and he said lightly: "Thousands of soldiers and horses, our 200,000 army still has to think of so many ways to deal with it, what should I say?" Now that most of the political affairs are in charge of you, don't you know that we have to consume a lot of food to trap them? As long as we kill Jiangnan with all our might, his Liujia army will naturally collapse. ”

"The king, he just wants you to attack Liaoshan, if the casualties are too great, the king will be furious......"

"With only a few thousand people and horses, I still have to tie my hands and feet, my 200,000 soldiers and horses are cattle, sheep and horses?"

"King, the Rokkajun is really strong."

"Shut up."

Abaoji couldn't bear it anymore and felt that he was going to be angry to death.

His 200,000 soldiers and horses fought against Liaoshan, which was defended by thousands of people, and he actually chose the tactic of besieging but not attacking.

Is his 200,000 soldiers and horses all waste?

"I heard that you have unbearable words in the secret letter with that Jiangnan, you said so much, did you secretly communicate with him? Stalling for him? ”

Shu Liduo was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he looked at the angry Abaoji, and then stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Abaoji, how dare you slander me like this? I am also kind to persuade you, these 200,000 soldiers and horses are all the men of our Mobei Royal Court, how many years will it take for one to die before there will be another man? If there were too many casualties, how would the king explain to their mothers and wives? ”

Abao's face sank like water, staring at Shu Liduo.

Shuriduo also glared at him sternly without fear.

..........

On the Liao Mountain.

Jiangnan stepped on the boulder, his eyes squinted slightly at the bottom of the mountain, and the huge Mobei Iron Cavalry was gathered, and the black pressure was one after another.

After the Mobei Iron Cavalry, there is a company camp tent with no end in sight.

"I haven't seen such a large army in many years."

The corners of Jiang Nan's mouth raised lightly.

"You can still laugh? Aren't you afraid? ”

Shui Yun's unhappy voice came.

Turning his head to look, Shui Yun's beautiful face was so gloomy and gloomy at the moment.

It seems that there is a look of being pitted by Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan asked Shui Yun to go to Yingshan to lead his troops over.

Shui Yun can't live or die, saying that if she has a big heavenly position, she will have more strength.

It can't be helped.

Jiangnan could only send a hundred Zhu Jiajun to Yingshan immediately.

"I've been through a lot of ups and downs, and if I fail, I'll just start all over again. I don't think I'm going to lose, it's a good deal, and they have to pay the price of blood if they want to attack. As long as it is delayed for a maximum of 7 days, you and I will have 50,000 horses and horses to arrive, and they will go straight to their Chinese army at any time, and the Chinese army will be defeated, and the whole army will be dispersed, and then they will run for their lives frantically, and we can raise our knives and slaughter them in the back. ”

The wind in the south of the Yangtze River is light and light.

"You're so simple, how can it be so easy." Shui Yun sighed.

"Don't think about fighting a war too complicated." Jiang Nan Youyou said: "If there are enough troops, everything can be decided, the Qin State will not be able to destroy the Six Kingdoms, Gaozu will directly beat the Huns, and he will not cross to the south in the future, and the Liang State that occupies the Central Plains has long been unified in the world."

Shui Yun was speechless.

Jiangnan pointed to the road down the mountain.

"Don't look at them such a huge iron horse, but they come up at one time, such a narrow road, they can't rush up with twenty or thirty thousand at a time, although there are thousands of us, there is no problem with twenty or thirty thousand."

"We will be constantly consumed, and the soldiers will be tired, but they can keep attacking."

"But they are human beings, and if they die more, they will be afraid, and the morale of the army will be unstable."

Jiang Nan said.

He stared at the Mobei Iron Horse at the bottom of the mountain.

"It's time to give them a dismount." Gangnam plays with taste.

"Are you going to do anything? Why not just relax and get to work? Shui Yun frowned slightly, and his red eyes turned to him.

"To dismount is to call them off."
