Chapter 219: Burning the company camp

When Zhuge Liang and Ma Yue received Yuan Qi's order and rushed to the Monkey King camp, Chen Gong under Qi Tian explained Qi Tian's intentions to everyone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Qi Tian used Wang Nuo's nephew Wang Chen as a bait, pretending to reach an agreement with Lian Man in Xianbei in the middle of the country, ostensibly allowing Lian Man's subordinates to enter the territory of Youji, and deliberately detaining the generals under Yuan Qi's command to create an ambiguous illusion. In fact, those Xianbei people who entered the territory of the Youhe were confined to a limited space, and they could not plunder at will, which was a strategy to close the door and beat the dogs.

Through this plan, Qi Tian not only captured Lian Man, but also dug out Wang Nuo who was lurking in the shadows, and helped Yuan Qi remove a time bomb, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. The whole strategy was planned by Chen Gong little by little under Qi Tian's assumption.

After listening to Chen Gong's narration, Ma Yue laughed and said, "How is it? A certain person has said a long time ago that the eldest brother will never do anything betrayal, and now, you have all seen it?"

Ma Yue's words made most officials bow their heads in shame. Zhuge Liang took the lead in coming to Qi Tian, bowed deeply to Qi Tian, and said: "The general is righteous, very human. Liang was cautious, did not know the general's mind, and was deeply ashamed, so he asked the general for his guilt today. ā€

Qi Tian stretched out his hand and pulled Zhuge Liang up, and said with a smile: "Everyone is serving under the lord's command, why bother with so much?"

Seeing Qi Tian and Zhuge Liang staged this warm scene of "making peace", Yuan Qi laughed happily, and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this matter is over for the time being." Let's discuss the next step, we don't have much time left. ā€

Although now the elite of the Flying Dragon Army has taken down Lian Man, and detained the Xianbei Army brought by Lian Man. But in the territory of the Youji Alliance, there are still nine Xianbei squads. It is said that it is a squad, but in fact, each squad has at least 5,000 people. These nine squads are the main force of Xianbei in the central part of the company, and their numbers add up, there are 50,000 people.

Everyone spoke enthusiastically and expressed their thoughts. In the end, Yuan Qi decided to adopt Zhuge Liang's strategy and use Lian Man, who was captured, to gather the nine squads of Xianbei in the central part of the country. And then the First World War completely crushed it!

Subsequently, Yuan Qi selected some soldiers who were close to the Xianbei people in size, disguised as Xianbei sergeants, and scattered to various places in the north of Youhe, holding the tokens found from Lian Man's body, and falsely passing on Lian Man's order, so that all the Xianbei soldiers who were scattered would assemble towards Yangping Valley of Wolf Mountain.

The terrain of Wolf Mountain is dangerous, Yangping Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is a large open area, and there are only less than two horsemen who can pass through the narrow place, if it is to do the trading of Wuthering Heights and forests, it is a good stronghold, but if it is an ambush, it will be even more exciting. After sending the order to summon the Xianbei people to assemble, Yuan Qi immediately arranged men and horses to set up a heavy ambush near the Yangping Valley, dry firewood, sulfur and other fire-starting things are indispensable, and a large number of boulders were also prepared on the mountains on both sides to block the valley mouth behind. In this battle, the elite of the Flying Dragon Army under the command of Qi Tian was the mainstay, and the elite of the 20,000 Flying Dragon Army was divided into two parts, Yuan Qi and Qi Tian each led half of the elite, and ambushed the mountainside of Wolf Mountain in advance, preparing to give the Xianbei people a fatal blow with the condescending impact of the war horse.

In addition, Zhao Hu and Ma Yue also led the elite of the 10,000 Heavenly Returning Army and the 10,000 Returning Army elite respectively, setting up an ambush on the periphery and being responsible for cutting off the back road of the Xianbei Army. After everything was ready, everyone began to calm down, breathing softly, waiting for the arrival of the Xianbei army.

Time passed little by little, and finally, a rapid sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of Wolf Mountain, and the sound of thunderous horses' hooves accompanied by the unique shouts of the Xianbei people entered the area near Wolf Mountain. One after another Xianbei squads galloped in, and within half an hour, eight squads had already gathered here.

After waiting for a while, the soldiers of the last squad also galloped over and returned to the division with the eight squads that had arrived earlier. After all the nine Xianbei squads entered the encirclement, Zhao Hu and Ma Yue, who were responsible for cutting off the back road of the Xianbei people, quietly commanded the elites of their subordinates and sealed the escape path of the 50,000 Xianbei army, and the boulders on the mountain also fell with a bang.

The figures of Yuan Qi and Qi Tian appeared halfway up the Wolf Mountain, and behind them, there were tens of thousands of elites of the Flying Dragon Army. The predecessor of the Flying Dragon Army was the white horse Yicong trained by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and Gongsun Ruyun under Qi Tian, as well as thousands of elite cavalry of the Thorn Tower who had long moved to the mainland. At this moment, 20,000 elites of the Flying Dragon Army stood on the mountainside, each holding a cavalry bow in their hands, with a tooth-souring string pull, the sound of creaking was endless, like a talisman, floating into the ears of the Xianbei people.

"Oh no! there is an ambush ......"

"Gather your troops and rush out of the valley!"

"Oops!

The shouts of the various Xianbei generals rang out one after another. At such a critical moment, the reaction of the central Xianbei was chaotic compared to the eastern Xianbei of the Amaiti department. Such a reaction is determined by the different systems of the two Xianbei Ministries. Under the rule of Amaiti, the generals at all levels of the eastern Xianbei and Xianbei had clear responsibilities, and even after the death of Amaiti, the eastern Xianbei could still organize effective resistance; while the central Xianbei was an alliance tribe, and the leaders of more than a dozen tribes elected Lian Man as the big leader to command the central Xianbei, which would inevitably lead to a situation in which the central Xianbei were generally the same, but the details were separated.

In the face of the enemy's ambush, the weakness of Xianbei in the middle of the country was infinitely magnified, and the nine squads were actually nine different tribes, and the commander of each squad was the leader of the tribe.

Compared with the chaos in Xianbei in the central part of the country, the elites of the Wyvern Army are organized and orderly. Every army under Yuan Qi's command, whether it is an elite unit or an ordinary army, will receive such a message on the first day of its formation: Absolutely obey orders! This clause is an outline extracted by Yuan Qi from the thinking of later generations of soldiers, and soldiers should regard obedience to orders as their duty! It is precisely under this kind of thinking of managing the army that all the armies under Yuan Qi can be invincible, invincible, and win victory after victory.

The raised right hand was slashed off, and Yuan Qi shouted: "Release the arrow!" After receiving Yuan Qi's order, the elite of the 20,000 Flying Dragon Army immediately shot accurately at the Xianbei army under the Wolf Mountain from two directions, Peng Peng's bowstring shook into a piece, and 20,000 rockets covered the sky and the sun from the mountainside to the air, and after reaching the highest point, with huge inertia, more than 50,000 Xianbei troops under the mountain slammed down.

As the rocket fell, a large amount of dry firewood, sulfur and other ignitions were ignited, and the sky-high fire spread everywhere...

Ahh

The screams sounded in the Xianbei camp, sharp arrows poured down like a storm, Yangping Valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, causing a large amount of heat to accumulate in the valley, and over time, most of the 50,000 people lost their combat effectiveness, burned to death, smoked down, abound... And those with a little common sense immediately covered their mouths and noses with a damp cloth to prevent them from being suffocated by the thick smoke, and the fire did not burn for a long time. In Yuan Qi's words, it means that God has the virtue of a good life, and I have compassion in my heart, and I can't bear to be burned by a fire. As the fire gradually weakened, there were less than 10,000 people who could stand there, this was the real elite, and the few leaders who could dodge in the core station circle were also a few big leaders who were quite powerful and famous in the central Xianbei.

However, they were faced with the charge of 20,000 elites of the Flying Dragon Army, and these so-called Xianbei elites only insisted on resisting half a pillar of incense for a while. Yuan Qi's requirements for elite troops are the strictest in the world, because Yuan Qi knows that elite troops seem to be beautiful on the surface, but the combat missions they actually undertake are often several times or even dozens of times higher than those of ordinary soldiers, and without strict requirements for excellence, it is irresponsible for the lives of elite soldiers. Yuan Qi, who has the idea of later generations, will never tolerate such a situation.

Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. This is a well-known aphorism in the army of later generations. This sentence is well reflected in the four elite troops under the command of Yuan Qi. Although the Flying Dragon Army is the latest of the four elite troops, the group it forms determines that this unit has the same terrifying combat effectiveness as the previous three elites! Coupled with the strict training on weekdays, the elite level of the Flying Dragon Army, if they consider themselves to be the second cavalry in the world, I am afraid that no cavalry will dare to claim to be the first in front of them.

As a result, the core standing circle of the Xianbei cavalry, under the fierce impact of the Flying Dragon Army, only lasted for half a pillar of incense, and was broken. The elite of the Flying Dragon Army in two directions, driven by the war horses, were like two chainsaws staggered back and forth, ruthlessly cutting off a large piece of the fat meat of the Xianbei cavalry!

Because the weapon used by the Wyvern Army was a long-handled Rahu dragon horn spear, it was not equipped with a Xizi hand crossbow, and the hand crossbow was not convenient to use with one hand. It will also affect the combat effectiveness of the Wyvern Army, so they are equipped with a cavalry bow exclusive to the heavy cavalry. When hand-to-hand combat, use a Rahu dragon horn gun. Before launching a charge from a distance, they used the cavalry bow to strike in a large area, and the dragon horn spear and the cavalry bow were used alternately, which was a major feature of the Wyvern Army's combat. Different from the Flying Dragon Army, the weapons in the hands of the Heavenly Return Army and the Earth Return Army are horse swords, so that they can insert the horse swords into the scabbard behind their backs at any time, so among the standard equipment they are equipped with, there are long-range weapons such as Xizi hand crossbows, which are extremely convenient to operate.

When a small number of Xianbei cavalry tried to disperse and flee, they were greeted by the Xizi crossbows that had already been prepared by the Heavenly Return Army and the Earth Return Army. Because the number of Xianbei people who escaped was small, the elites of the two armies did not waste crossbow arrows, and did not choose to fire five arrows in bursts, but chose to launch at a single point.

As the crossbow arrows flew away from the crossbows on the arms of the elite of the two armies, the Xianbei people who tried to escape were subjected to extremely accurate individual shots, and each flying crossbow arrow, as if they had eyes, the target was the throat of the Xianbei people, and it was rare for two crossbow arrows to shoot at a Xianbei person at the same time.

With a round of crossbow arrows, a small number of Xianbei people who were about to flee screamed and fell off their horses, each with a crossbow bolt stuck in their throats, and the tail of the crossbow was still shaking slightly!

Seeing that there was no way to escape, many Xianbei people felt despair in their hearts. In the face of the threat of death, the brave Xianbei people were frightened and retreated, and some began to throw away their weapons and ask for surrender from the Wyvern Army in front of them.

After arranging the prisoners and booty, Yuan Qi left Xu Shu and Pang De to lead 10,000 troops to defend the border and the border, and then oversaw the army to the west, preparing to launch an offensive against the last of the three Xianbei - Western Xianbei.

When he was determined to resist Xianbei, Yuan Qi ordered Cui Shou and Gao Shun to resist the Maidang Department together. Later, under the influence of the Qianlong members under Li Ru's subordinates, rumors spread within Xianbei in the west, which made Maidang feel like a mess, and had to temporarily stop plundering the Yuan family, and instead spent most of his energy on pacifying the internal strife. But then again, if Maidang was a master, I'm afraid the rumors spread by the members of the Hidden Dragon wouldn't have played such a big role at all.

After a five-day trek, Yuan Qi arrived at Guyang, the northwestern part of Bingzhou, which was closest to the northern prairie. Cui Shou and Gao Shun's camp was located in Guyang City. After bringing Yuan Qi and his party into the city, Cui Shou told Yuan Qi about the big events that had happened in the past month or so.

At first, Gao Shun took the 20,000 county soldiers stationed in the northwest of Bingzhou, and Maidang's subordinates had several battles that were not too large, and the two sides won and lost each other, but in general, Gao Shun won more, and also caused some casualties to Maidang's department. Later, with the rumors spread by the members of the Qianlong Hidden Dragon, Maidang no longer had the intention of invading the south, which created some fighters for Gao Shun, Gao Shun took advantage of the opportunity of the Xianbei people's hearts in the west, and led his troops to attack twice, one was a night attack on the military camp where Maidang's subordinates hoarded grain and grass, and burned one-third of the grain and grass of the Xianbei people, and snatched back one-third; the second time was designed in a small valley twenty miles outside Guyang City, fought a beautiful ambush, and killed more than 6,000 Xianbei people in a battle.

In Cui Shou's report, Yuan Qi heard his undisguised appreciation for Gao Shun. Originally, in Yuan Qi's impression, Gao Shun was just a good soldier in training, and he also thought about finding an opportunity in the future to transfer Gao Shun to Yanjing and be responsible for deeper training of the four elite troops, but through Cui Shou's words, Yuan Qi suddenly realized a problem, and he underestimated Gao Shun a little.

After listening to Cui Shou's report, Yuan Qi asked Cui Shou to write Gao Shun's exploits into a document and browse it among the officers and men of the whole army. For meritorious officials, Yuan Qi does not hesitate to reward and praise.

After completing the reward for Gao Shun, Yuan Qi led the topic to Central Xianbei, and turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, what do you think of Central Xianbei?"
