Chapter 272: Division of Troops
In one night, Li Fengyun launched five different attacks on the Khitan military camp, one at almost every hour, and the entire Khitan camp was never safely located overnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Shameless!" Yelu Tiande was helpless, for Li Fengyun's completely unreasonable attack tactics, he didn't have a good way, and Li Fengyun didn't fight him head-on at all.
When Li Fengyun's last group of soldiers and horses retreated, the sky was already dark, Yelu Tiande looked at the exhausted soldiers, his eyes were full of despair, he knew, he knew, he knew that he couldn't go far today.
If he continues to move forward at this speed, he will be able to catch up with Du Chongwei's 200,000 army in the year of the monkey.
Of course, it was impossible for Du Chongwei to flee to Dingzhou, the distance was too far, and with the marching speed of the Jin army, he could not reach it at all. Du Chongwei is not a fool, he must have chosen a favorable terrain, set up a camp, and fought to the death with the Khitan army.
"Divide the troops, Tiande!" Xiao Han said, he didn't sleep well last night, his eyes were bloodshot, "Our army has 20,000 elite soldiers, divided into two groups, and there are 10,000 each, which is not something they can resist." Li Fengyun can stop our army all the way, but he can't stop the two.
If the expectation is good, now Du Chongwei must have stopped retreating, and chose a piece of camp that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and one night is not enough for him to build a strong camp. As long as we reach the army all the way and break directly into the camp of the Jin army, Du Chongwei's 200,000 army will definitely be in chaos.
We also followed Li Fengyun's example, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to disrupt the deployment of Du Chongwei's main force, and when the Great Khan's 60,000 troops arrived, things would be easy to do. I estimate that the Khan's soldiers and horses should be less than twenty miles away from us. ”
Yelu Tiande pondered for a while, looked at the map for a while, and nodded: "Okay, Great Elder, you lead 10,000 horses and continue to move forward according to the original plan. I led 10,000 horses and troops to make a detour from the trail, although the distance was twenty miles, I could avoid Li Fengyun's harassment, and it was estimated that I could catch up with Du Chongwei's army in three hours. ”
The two discussed and immediately arranged the division of troops.
"Yelu Tiande is going to divide his troops!" Li Fengyun stood on a forest hundreds of zhang away from Yelu Tiande's camp.
"General Li, what should we do?" Huang Fuyu looked a little anxious, "Even if they split into two ways, we can't beat either of them." ”
Li Fengyun took the map, spread it on the ground, frowned and thought about it carefully, and said after a long time: "If they divide the troops, we will also divide them." ”
Huangfu was surprised and said: "How many men do we have? Even if we divide our troops, we can't stop Yelu Tiande!"
Li Fengyun laughed twice and said, "Who said that we were going to block Yelu Tiande, this time we have to really fight!"
Li Fengyun pointed to a small road on the map and said, "If you guess correctly, the road that Yelu Tiande divided the soldiers and horses must take this path." No matter how he went, he had to pass through the black pine forest, where we ambushed them.
Let's also divide into two roads, one way is still on the original route to attack the Khitan soldiers and horses on the original route according to the original route, the number of people does not need too much, the soldiers of my Fengyun battalion, plus five hundred elite cavalry as a reserve, should be enough.
The Khitan army divided into 10,000 troops, and its strength was greatly reduced, so it must have been more cautious in the process of marching, and did not dare to advance easily.
Brother Huangfu, you lend me 500 fine horses!"
"No problem!" Huangfu Yu agreed without hesitation, "What about the other way, with more than 4,000 cavalry in our department, we can't beat 10,000 Khitan iron cavalry." ”
"That's not necessarily, it can't be beaten under normal circumstances. However, after this night's tossing, the energy of the Khitan army has been almost consumed by us, and it is very good that there is still seventy percent of the combat power left, and our army is resting in batches and has abundant combat power.
After a while, I took two hundred elite horsemen and followed the soldiers and horses who were constantly disturbing the path. Brother Huangfu led the rest of his troops and horses to the black pine forest, spreading traps and forcing him to fight us. I think that after my raids all the way, the soldiers and horses will be exhausted all the way to the black pine forest.
At this time, I will attack them from the back to attract their attention, Brother Huangfu, you have a good time, listen to the sound of my horn, when the three cornets sound, you immediately lead the army to suddenly rush out of the woods and attack the Khitan army from behind.
Attack the exhausted army with the soldiers who are waiting for the spirit, I don't believe they can't be defeated!
As long as we completely defeat this Khitan cavalry, and then go back to deal with the original road, even if he highlights more distance, there is no need to worry. ”
When the emperor heard this, he gave his thumb up, and his eyes lit up: "General Li is really a wise general, fighting with his brother, just one word, cool!"
The two discussed the details and went down separately to prepare.
Li Fengyun picked out two hundred brave and elite soldiers from the Huangfu army, took the crazy monk, and chased the soldiers and horses all the way to Yelu Tiande.
General Xiao Yan was the enemy of him, but he was killed by him, and the guards could not resist it, so he had already dispersed and killed the Chinese army uprightly!" A defeated general hurried over to report.
"Then how many soldiers and horses did Li Fengyun bring?" asked Yelu Tiande urgently.
"There are only a few hundred soldiers and horses!, but the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers are no match for him!" replied the defeated general.
"Rice buckets! It's all rice buckets!" Yelu Tiande was furious, and raised his leather whip and whipped it towards the defeated general, "Two thousand iron horsemen can't stop hundreds of Jin soldiers, what do you want?"
The defeated general said: "In front of Zhangjiazhuang that day, you led 10,000 iron horsemen, and you were not killed by Li Fengyun and fled for your life, why do you still talk about us?"
Brother Yelu Liu (Note 1) hurriedly grabbed Yelu Tiande and said: "Why should the third uncle be in a hurry, then Li Fengyun is brave and good at fighting, and he rarely meets opponents on the battlefield, you also know it." Why don't you hurry up and send a first-class master to block Li Fengyun. ”
Yelu Tiande said sadly: "The seven first-class masters brought, Guo Meng is gone, black and white impermanence and Yin Zhong are seriously injured, and they stay with Xiao Han, Yelu Feng wants to protect Xiao Han, I only have Xiao Li and Huo Yan here, which one do you think is better?"
Brother Yelu Liu said: "Just send both of them out, as long as you kill Li Fengyun, everything will be easy to do." ”
Yelu Tiande exclaimed: "If they are all sent out, who will protect Ben Shuai?"
Brother Yelu Liu said in his heart: "My three uncles are good at everything, but they are too timid and cherish their lives too much." But he couldn't say that, he could only persuade: "Li Fengyun has three first-class masters by his side, even if he doesn't have all of them with him, one is always brought, and one first-class master is sent, I'm afraid Li Fengyun can't help it."
Besides, as long as Li Fengyun is killed, who can rush to the army to assassinate the marshal?"
Yelu Tiande felt reasonable, nodded and agreed, and hurriedly ordered Yelu Liu to lead a thousand men and horses, and quickly blocked and killed Li Fengyun with Huo Yan and Xiao Li.
Xiao Li didn't care, Huo Yan frowned slightly, and said secretly: "Is Li Fengyun so easy to kill? His master, and his two senior brothers, which one can I afford to offend?"
Glancing at Xiao Li beside him, Huo Yan had a plan in his heart, and said secretly: "When I meet Li Fengyun later, I will go to hunt down others and leave Li Fengyun to him, anyway, his master is Xiao Qirui, and he is not afraid of Li Fengyun's two senior brothers." ”
Thinking of this, Huo Yan gladly accepted the order.
