Chapter 254: The Battle of the Vanguard
The seventeenth day of the first month.
The 100,000 army led by Bai Qi, Huo Quzhi, and Yue Fei fought fiercely with the vanguard of the Jin army for three days and three nights, and finally forced the Jin army to retreat to the north of Mangshan with great difficulty.
However, their own losses were also heavy, and the bitter cold outside the country made the army temporarily unable to move forward, so they had to camp here.
Later, the three of them rode up to a hill and condescended to observe the nearby terrain.
Bai Qi looked around, and gradually felt a sense of amazement in his heart, and said to the two of them: "Back then, the Protector of the Kingdom was trapped here, and was almost killed by Liang Zheng, the general of the Jin State at that time, but fortunately, His Majesty made a strange move at that time, broke the Jin army, and rescued Marshal Zhao. ”
Yue Fei nodded on the side, and said in sincere admiration: "Yes! What kind of person is General Zhao Zilong? That is the existence of taking the head of the enemy general in the ten thousand armies, but he also suffered a big loss in the confrontation with the Jin army.
But since the beginning of Your Majesty, our Wei army has almost never been defeated in a decisive battle with the Jin army. This is all thanks to His Majesty's military training skills, which makes the three words of Wei Wushu powerful all over the world. ”
Huo Quzhi said proudly: "Sooner or later, one day, we will attack the land of the Jin Kingdom for Your Majesty, and set up a monument in the capital of the Jin Kingdom, so that everyone in the world will know that our Wei Wushu is strong!"
Bai Qi smiled and said: "Well said! You can't embarrass Your Majesty! At present, the vanguard of the enemy army is stationed in the plain hundreds of miles outside Mangshan, and I suggest that we send cavalry to attack the enemy camp at night!"
Yue Fei has always been steady, and after he asked, he frowned and said: "Is it a little inappropriate to send troops at this time?" Since the establishment of the vanguard army, within six days, we have broken out seven battles with the Jin army, and there are mutual victories and defeats, the combat strength of the Jin army is not trivial, and the weather outside the country is cold, I am afraid that there will be danger in attacking rashly at this time. ”
Huo Qubing is good at quick blitzkrieg, he objected to Yue Fei's words, and said disapprerovitically: "At present, the Jin army has retreated again and again, if we don't take advantage of the victory to pursue it once and for all, then when they rest and recover, where will our army be placed?"
Moreover, when the Jin army learned that our army was stationed here, they would definitely think that we would have to rest for a few days and would not attack them. But at this time, if we make a desperate bet at all costs, we will definitely catch the Jin army by surprise and make this vanguard force completely defeated. ”
Bai Qi touched his beard and said to Yue Fei: "It is reasonable to go to the disease, Pengju should not worry too much, since this battle has begun, we can only fight to the end, and the Jin army will be afraid of pain."
Go to the sick, I will give you all the cavalry, estimated at 40,000 people, there are no reinforcements, you have to lead this army and give the vanguard of the Jin army a painful blow.
All the captives and Jin soldiers and soldiers will be killed, otherwise if they stay, sooner or later it will be a trouble, after all, we don't have extra soldiers, so we can take a good look at them. ”
Huo Qubing received the order, hugged his fists and said: "Although the surname Bai can rest assured, early tomorrow morning, I will bring the good news of the defeat of the vanguard of the Jin army." ”
After saying that, he went back to the barracks and made arrangements.
Tonight's surprise attack was crucial, Huo Qubing knew his mission, so he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.
If the surprise attack is successful tonight, the conflict on the border will basically show victory for Wei.
In a battle like this that has not risen to the level of a national war, basically the victory of the vanguard can determine most of the battle situation.
When Chen Qingzhi received the plan that Pioneer was about to implement, he expressed his very much agreement.
For him personally, he is also good at surprise siege battles, so he still appreciates the way Bai Qi proposed and implemented by Huo Quai.
At the same time, he personally led an army of 100,000 and stared at the main force of the Jin army, creating an excellent environment for Huo Quai's surprise attack.
His approach also has the effect of spreading suspicions, which will make the Jin army think that the Wei army is coming for its main force.
At the beginning of the unitary time.
Bai Qi sent a master of the army to cooperate with the Jinyi Guard's action to kill all the scouts planted by the Jin army near Mangshan.
The end of the unitary time.
Huo Qubing began to lead 50,000 cavalry straight to the vanguard of the Jin army.
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
At the same time, after Chen Qingzhi got the news, the 100,000-strong army began to feint against the main force of the Jin army, the purpose of which was to cooperate with Huo Quzhi's actions.
Jin Army Pioneer Battalion.
After several battles in a row, everyone was very tired, in fact, not only them, but also the entire Wei army, were more or less overworked.
But no matter how hard and tired the Wei army is, they will rely on their tenacious willpower to fight the Jin army to the end.
Not for anything else, just for the prosperity of the Wei State.
Throughout the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Wei State lived in a history of humiliation, either being trampled by the enemy, or on the way to being trampled by the enemy.
The grudges accumulated over the years, by their generation, have completely erupted, and in addition to the Ming lord to govern the country, so everyone knows very well in their hearts that finally a strong emperor has appeared in the Great Wei, if you don't take advantage of this emperor's reign, the Wei State will be prosperous......
Then the trouble will continue to stay in the next generation.
Rather than this, it is better to solve all the troubles in your own generation.
After Huo Qubing approached the Jin army's vanguard camp, he couldn't help but say something and rushed straight to the Jin army.
In the hazy night, the Jin army was slow to react.
After beheading them, these people reacted and began to attack Huo Quai.
But it was too late, and the hearts were distracted.
It was night again, and the Jin army was no longer able to stop the slaughter of the Wei army.
Moreover, in the midst of the chaos, Huo Qubing also killed the main general of the Jin army.
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and the battle lasted several hours, and finally ended with a complete victory for the Wei army.
A total of 40,000 enemies were annihilated and 100,000 prisoners were captured.
The rest of the soldiers fled to various places in countless places.
After Bai Qi learned the news of the great victory, he sent the remaining troops to arrive.
Huo Quzhi reported the results of the battle to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi was worried about Zhongzhong.
Huo Qu was puzzled and asked, "Brother Bai, our army has won a big victory, why do you have such an expression?"
Bai Qi said: "100,000 captives, not a few, our battle with the Jin army, in the final analysis, is to compete for the initiative of the Three Emperors Alliance, so it is impossible for these 100,000 captives to take them with them at any time or surrender them." ”
Yue Fei said: "You can send someone to keep them under strict guard. ”
If it weren't for a national war, dealing with these captives would be extremely tricky.
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "It's true to say that, but with these more than 60,000 people staying in the rear, it's always unreassuring." Our dispute with the Jin State is not a land dispute, and if these people are left in the rear, I am afraid that there will be unexpected consequences. ”
100,000 people, it's really too many.
Moreover, the mood of these 100,000 people is very irritable, and if one is not well controlled, it is likely that a mutiny will occur.
Because these people are the elite troops of Emperor Jin, they cannot be regarded as ordinary troops.
However, one thing that can be imagined is that Huo Qubing will become famous through tonight's surprise attack.
A general star of the Wei State has officially risen.
