Chapter 148: The Enemy Is Approaching
Morale is available, of course Lin De will not vent everyone's strength, but he announced unhurriedly, saying that at the year-end conference, the Black Lotus Divine Pill will be mixed with a dry of gold and silver property, cattle, sheep and horses, blades, treasures, slaves, livestock, etc.
It's still the old rule, and those who have more credit have priority. It's so hard that everyone is gearing up, and they can't wait to earn the next credit right away.
Lin Feng used a little means to make the morale of the tribe high, and all of them were full of motivation! At this time, they also went out for a lot of time, lest there would be instability among the tribes, so the top priority at present was to return to the tribe first. Fortunately, the characters who stayed behind are still the elite of the film, and they also swept and wiped out the surroundings before leaving, so it is estimated that it should not be a big problem.
Then there was nothing to say all the way, a dry group of people walked through the grassland, it was the light car familiar with the road like a fish in water, their group of people came and went like the wind, and the desire to fight was very strong, so along the way, they once again wiped out five or six or medium or small tribes, in front of the warriors of the Sanli tribesmen, the resistance of these tribes was really very weak, and it could be said that they had no power to fight back.
After the people returned to the tribe, they naturally rested, and the horses who went out had to nourish their fat, and the people had to take a breath and talk about the reasons for not coming in the future. As soon as Lin Fengjin returned, he wanted to find the old man Agude, who did not stay in this place after he was defeated by Linde that day, but was defeated, and it is estimated that he should be looking for the group of clansmen who left.
At the same time, under Lin Fengjin's orders, the Sanli Department also released a large number of sentinels to control the information of thousands of miles above the grassland as much as possible.
As a result, at noon on the third day, a horse galloped back, and the horse had been bloodied, and could not restrain its steps at all, and crashed into the wooden fence and died. The knight was bleeding from a stumbling head, and as soon as he woke up, he asked to see the patriarch, saying that there was urgent information to return him.
Soon, Lin De came to Lin Fengjin with a pale face, and said in a deep voice:
"Master, something is not good, I just got the news, saying that the remnants of the previous Duoli Department really took refuge in the Dongxia people, and the main general is General Guo Xi, commanding 50,000 troops! He hastened to come to level us, and it is estimated that it is only three days' journey. ”
At this time, although Tuoba Sanli was strong, no matter how fast its strength swelled, its combat power was at most equivalent to a large tribe of 10,000 people, but Guo Xi led the regular army of Eastern Xia, and it also had the amazing crushing figure of 50,000, so it was not enough to compare two by two. It's no wonder that De Linde's face is very ugly
After Lin Fengjin heard the news, he smiled slightly:
Guo Xi is a general, but this person is on the wrong side in the political struggle. It was not easy to climb to the current position with the help of the strength of the family, so the Eastern Xia army under his command was just an ordinary army, not an elite. ”
And the army he can actually command is about 15,000 people, and more than half of them are infantry. The rest of the men and horses are all miscellaneous armies of various ethnic groups pieced together, which can be called a rabble, and the so-called 50,000 is just a claim. There can be 40,000 horses and horses up to the sky, such a dragging army, the spies reported that it was two days away. I estimate it will take four days to get there. ”
Linde finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this:
"Master Mingjian, if we travel for four days, we can evacuate more calmly, have enough time to transfer the cattle, sheep and horses, and send two thousand elite horsemen to attack day and night, we should have a great certainty that we can successfully evacuate. It's just that in this way, I am afraid that those people of the Duoli tribe who have already accepted their fate with peace of mind will have restless thoughts again. ”
Lin Fengjin smiled meaningfully and said:
"Run??hehehe, I'm just going to see who's going to jump out. ”
When he was talking, no one noticed that Lin Fengjin was playing with an iron arrow in his hand, which looked very shabby, but he didn't know what it was, it always gave people a sense of calmness, as if there was a stream of cold air emitting from it anytime and anywhere.
Four days later, the 50,000-strong army of Eastern Xia approached Sanlibu, with 3,000 pioneers, and the general led by Budugen was Budugen.
This person is the patriarch of the Tuoba Duoli tribe, one of the principals who formulated the plan to annex the Sanli tribe, and its purpose is naturally to raise troops outside the Tuoba Sanli tribe, show off his might, and try to persuade him to surrender.
Linde and Kirby were unable to prevent the two of them from one left and one right, respectively, leading 800 elite cavalry to attack Budugan, Linde bent his bow and shot an arrow from 800 meters away, not only piercing the throat of a guard, but also breaking his throat and shooting into the head of the horse under Budugan's crotch, causing it to fall off his horse and chaos in a chaotic formation.
Kirby Neng is eyes are bloodshot, dancing wildly with a huge stick, frantically rushing in, his mouth is like a beast, relying on his own strong defensive ability of the Black Lotus Divine Pill, and he is still wearing two layers of iron armor, even if he is wounded dozens of times, he actually smashes Bu Dugen's head without hesitation with a hammer!!
The lord will be blatantly killed, and the cavalry of the three miles of the shepherd slaves who were ambushed on both sides then drove straight in and crossed the killing, this vanguard is not the elite of the Eastern Xia army, otherwise how could it be handed over to the commander of an outsider?
The two took advantage of the momentum to wave the army to cover it, rushed to kill more than ten miles, and the blood flowed like a river, until they saw the reinforcements coming, they slowly retreated, and the three thousand pioneers suffered heavy casualties, only seven or eight hundred people were left to escape and come back, and there were more than a thousand wounded who were crying in pain and waiting for help on the battlefield.
The initial battle was unfavorable, Guo Xi immediately noticed the unstable noise in the army and the fluctuating situation, and decisively camped on the spot to comfort the soldiers and comfort the wounded. But this night there were always groups of more than a dozen rangers patrolling back and forth to harass them, and in order to deal with such harassment tactics, the rangers had to go out to search and kill them.
But in the middle of the night, Guo Xi suddenly found in surprise that the cavalry under his command was getting smaller and smaller!!! but obviously he had an army of 50,000, how many elite people could the other party have? Can it exceed 2,000?
Guo Xi didn't want to think about it, although he claimed to be 50,000 people, in fact, the real combat power was more than 30,000 people.
And the one who led the team that night was Lin Fengjin, who had excellent eyesight and night vision!
Under his leadership, the entire attack of more than 1,000 people was dispatched like a finger, not to mention a fierce man like a wolf like a tiger?
And the one who was sent out at this time was definitely not Guo Xi's henchmen, but he was also a member of the grassland tribe who was coerced by him.
These people fight with the wind, and when they have something to grab, they must be howling wolves, and they are all good players, the key is that their morale is depressed now, or TM stays up late at night to fight, and they can't see any benefits, and the equipment can't be compared with Lin Fengjin's Sanli Department armed with silver. It is almost a one-touch collapse, where is the willingness to fight to the death? As soon as the contact is made, the situation is not good, and half of the run and half of the escape.
The people who ran don't have to say it, the people who fled will definitely come back and feel that they can't be too embarrassed, and they will inevitably cry and say that it's not that I'm too weak, but that the enemy is too strong and too much - as soon as I make contact during the day, the head of the vanguard commander of 3,000 people has been beaten to a rotten watermelon, and now you can blame me?
As soon as these rumors of seven points of truth and three points of falsehood came out in unison, everyone heard the same reason, and the morale dropped to the point that it was simply an uproar
At this time, even Guo Xi was shocked, seeing that the faces of the people who were pointed out were like bitter melons, so he simply didn't send someone out to extinguish the flames. Stick to the camp, and if there are approaching people, they will shoot back with arrows, anyway, they will toss until the middle of the night, and it will be less than an hour or two before dawn.
The other party made a turtle with a shrunken head, and Lin Fengjin was immediately even happier, according to common sense, the night horse was to light the torch, and then it became the target of the archers hiding near the barracks. As soon as he whistled, more than a dozen archers gathered around him shot in the direction of his fingers, exchanging quantity for quality, and the hidden archers should not die too quickly.
After galloping around the camp twice, Lin Fengjin and the others almost killed the archers who had already emerged, and then they lit the torch and threw it directly at the flammable materials of the felt bag barracks inside. Guo Xi was also unaware that his plan to stick to the shooting was over so quickly, and he was a little hurried for a while, and he didn't have time to take measures on the spot.
At this time, most of the outer military camps had been set on fire, and when Lin Feng saw this, he simply divided his troops into two ways, and rushed to the camp to stab the grain pasture and the stables! To be honest, this was a big gamble, and if the bet was won, then the Eastern Xia army would probably have to leave immediately even if it did not retreat.
---- so Lin Fengjin kicked the iron plate and was ambushed, fortunately, his character is also cautious, and when he ordered the charge, he only lost more than 200 horsemen and escaped in a hurry, but it also made Lin Fengjin understand the reality of this barracks and some of Guo Xi's character, that is, calm, even if it is a lion fighting a rabbit, he will do his best, so he will definitely not make any big mistakes in various aspects, and the tactics of gamblers and strange soldiers are almost of little use to him.
"But it's also giving me more time in disguise. Lin Fengjin sneered.
After dawn, the sneak attack naturally could not be carried out, and after Guo Xi heard that there was no way to reach the destination in the day no matter what, he ordered to slow down, and just after the hour (three o'clock in the afternoon), he ordered to set up camp, this time the military camp was set up on a high place, and five or six watchtowers were built.
