ps: Thank you to brother Zong. Heng for the reward, thank you to brother Nuomi for your monthly ticket, and thank you to brother Danghan for chasing the book. I am really sorry. I have a meeting in the suburbs these two days and can only update once. I really don’t have time. I sincerely apologize to everyone.
Huolu looked at the roaring Huyeshibili on the mountain ridge with great interest, and asked Minister Adahe who was in charge of liaison beside him: "Is this Huli? Well, it seems to be him, he is
What's wrong?"
The elder lowered his head in panic and said: "Master Huolu, it is indeed Huli... I don't know what happened..."
Huo Lu thoughtfully said: "Stop it first, please Zhu Bu Lu Qi Jin come and see me."
Zhubulu came to Huolu's horse, rolled his saddle and dismounted, bowed down and said: "Master Huolu, the sinner Zhubulute comes to apologize."
Huolu hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhubulu: "Zhubulu is so polite, why should he be so polite! By the way, what does your eldest man mean by this? Rebellion before the battle? Well, I think it shouldn't be, so I asked.
you."
Zhubulu looked ashamed: "Master Huolu, it is my Huli..." At this time, Zhubulu did not dare to hide it anymore, and immediately told Huli's infatuation for Salanna.
Huolu suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I see... Zhubulu, don't panic, Huli can be regarded as an infatuated man on the grassland. Haha, what do the Han people say? Don't give up the country for the sake of beauty? Haha..."
Zhubulu's face turned red with embarrassment, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in: "Master Huolu, please don't misunderstand the sincerity of our Adahe tribe. Don't worry, I will sacrifice my old bones to destroy the mountain ridge."
If you take it away, even if this beast is alive, I will go and chop him down myself!"
Huo Lu smiled and stopped: "It doesn't matter! I understand the sincerity of Zhu Bu Lu Qi Jin. Hu Li was confused for a while. I believe he will wake up soon..."
Just as he was talking, his subordinates rode over and reported: "Master Huolu, the Yingzhou Army has been dispatched."
Huo Lu hurriedly asked: "How?"
The knight said: "More than four thousand people have already approached Dayakou. They arrived ten miles away half an hour ago. The Yingzhou army is stopping to rest."
Zhubulu said from the side: "Don't worry, Master Huolu, I will personally lead the army to attack, and I will definitely capture the mountain ridge before the Yingzhou army arrives!"
Huo Lu smiled and shook his head: "No need, I've been waiting for them for so many days, and they finally came..."
…
On August 20, the left wing and the old camp of the Yingzhou Army, which had completed the combined drill, departed from Liucheng and deployed their marching array in the northwest direction.
The first infantry battalion commanded by Hao Xianen was the lead, the middle battalion commanded by Wen Sishuo, the old battalion of the Yingzhou Army commanded by Zhou Xiaolang, and the cavalry battalion commanded by Xue Jisheng were the central army, followed by the second infantry battalion commanded by Zhu Yuanyou, and Feng Shu commanded
There are three battalions of infantry. Each battalion is half a mile apart. The scouts of the middle battalion are scattered outside the army, as far as ten miles away. Following closely beside the army are the five capitals under the direct jurisdiction of the Logistics Department of Yuhousi, Yingzhou Dudu Prefecture.
Logistics soldiers, they escorted all kinds of materials needed to support the left compartment for a month of operations. These materials were loaded on more than two hundred vehicles. The convoy stretched for more than a mile.
The army headquarters is located in Laoying. Meng Xuxing, the commander of the left wing, has taught Wei Keming, and Wang Yibo, the Marquis of Duyu, is accompanying Li Chengzhong. The intelligence gathered by the scouts is reported to the middle camp at a regular pace, and is discussed by the three of them.
Department, only important information will be reported to Li Chengzhong, who will make the decision.
Zuoxiang was originally the predecessor of the Yingzhou Army and the main force of the new Yingzhou Army. Therefore, the synthesis drill was very efficient. In less than half a month, everything was already in order. As soon as the Zuoxiang synthesis drill was held
After that, Li Chengzhong couldn't wait any longer. He immediately ordered to go to Dayakou on the upper reaches of Rao Le River to rescue Kumo Xi.
Most of the troops on the right wing were new soldiers, and the Huaiyue Allied Forces were also newly trained soldiers. Therefore, the synthesis of the two armies was not fast. Li Chengzhong left Zhou Kan, the military envoy of the Training Department, for ten days, asking him to complete the drill within ten days, and then move the right wing to the army.
The carriage was handed over to Zhang Xingzhong. At that time, he would go north to join Li Chengzhong. The order left to Yuhou Zhongshao, the capital of the Huaiyue and Yuhou joint headquarters, was to wait for the Huaiyue coalition forces to complete their drills and then choose an opportunity to march to Fuyu.
The Yingzhou Army has a tradition of field training, so its marching speed is far faster than that of other armies at the same time. Even if it is fully loaded with combat supplies, the daily marching distance reaches seventy miles. After starting from Liucheng, follow the Bailangshui to the west
, they arrived at the northern foot of Bailang Mountain in three days. From the northern foot of Bailan Mountain, they turned north and arrived outside Dayakou in less than five days. At this time, the scouts sent news that Khitan rangers were spotted ahead. After a brief contact between the two sides,
The Khitan Rangers left north.
Meng Xuxing ordered the entire army to dismount and slow down and march northward. Half an hour later, the scouts reported again and found the Khitan camp ten miles ahead, so Meng Xuxing ordered the entire army to rest on the spot and have a good meal.
At dusk, the army arrived outside Dayakou. At this time, the Khitan people had withdrawn from the original camp, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Outside Dayakou, Salanna led the tribal elders and soldiers to welcome the arrival of the Yingzhou Army. When both sides saw the opposite flags in the distance, they both burst into cheers that resounded throughout the grassland.
After the meeting, Li Chengzhong highly praised Rhee Chengwan, Luo Yuanan, Qin Laogen and Cui He. With an almost sincere attitude, he paid military salutes to the four of them respectively and shook hands one by one, praising their efforts.
and hard work. After receiving the commander's enthusiastic affirmation in front of the entire army, the four of them were so excited that they could not help themselves. They just nodded hard to express their gratitude.
Li Chengzhong came to Salanna who had been waiting for a long time and said: "I'm sorry for you..."
Salanna's eyes were wet and she looked at Li Chengzhong without saying a word. Hu Yesibili turned his head aside and snorted coldly.
Salanna hurriedly said to Li Chengzhong: "Brother Huli and I have become sworn brothers and sisters. Don't get me wrong, Li Lang... Well, although the Adah tribe surrendered to Holu, brother Huli is still on our side..."
She then said to Huye Sibili: "Brother Huli, come quickly and see the governor."
Huye Sibili was unmoved and said coldly: "I said I would protect you, but I didn't say I would serve your Li Lang." This sentence made Salanna feel embarrassed.
Syngman Rhee explained the cause and effect in a low voice on the side, and Li Chengzhong understood that he was now in a high position and had the bearing of a superior. Of course, he would not care too much about this love rival who was defeated by his subordinates, and would just smile lightly.
, said to Salanna: "It doesn't matter. As long as Huli can protect you well, he doesn't recognize me as brother-in-law, but I want to recognize him as brother-in-law. You can relax, I don't mind."
Salanna breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the husband she had entrusted to her seemed to be more manly.
That night, the Yingzhou Army camped in the abandoned camp of the Khitan people. The Khitan people left in a hurry and only took away their tents and personal belongings. They did not have time to destroy the camp fence and other infrastructure, which was an advantage to the Yingzhou Army and ordered the Yingzhou Army's logistics
The soldiers of the battalion were able to save a lot of effort.
Li Chengzhong ordered a military meeting to be held immediately to discuss the current war situation.
The overall plan of the Northern Expedition of the Yingzhou Governor's Office had been determined before departure, that is, with the Yingzhou Army and the Huaiyue Allied Army as the main forces, they would divide into east and west routes and head north at the same time. The ultimate goals of the two armies were Raoleshan and Fuyu City
, Raole Mountain is located in the middle part of Raole River, and Fuyu City is located in the lower reaches of Raole River. They are three hundred miles apart in the west and east. In the middle is Raole River where the Khitan people have lived for hundreds of years.
In the plan, the Yingzhou Army is the West Route Army, marching from Liucheng, relieving the Kumoxi people, and then continuing north to capture Raole Mountain; the Huaiyue Allied Army is the East Route Army, sending troops from Huaiyuan Army City, and arriving at Fuyu City
Standby echoes the long-awaited thoughts of the East Route Army. Among them, Raole Mountain has a lofty and sacred status in the hearts of the Khitan people, and it is also the core area where the Khitan people have lived for generations. Therefore, the west road is especially important among the two routes. The Northern Expedition armies of the east and west routes occupy Raole Mountain.
After fighting Buyeo City, according to changes in the war situation, the main Khitan force seeking Abaoji and others will conduct a strategic decisive battle to determine the grassland in one battle.
Throughout the countless grassland campaigns in history, the strategy pursued by the grassland peoples has always been to retreat deeply, making full use of the wide vertical height to extend the supply line of the Han army in the south, exhausting the Han army through harassment tactics, and cutting off the supply line of the Han army with surprise troops.
In the end, the Han army, which lacked supplies, was surrounded and annihilated. Therefore, the key to the plan was to find the main Khitan force led by Abaoji and others, that is, the Tarma attendants led by Abaoji, the combined horse infantry led by Huolu, and Aping,
Only by annihilating the main force of these Khitan troops can the Shulu family soldiers led by the Abo brothers finally win.
This is also the main reason why Li Chengzhong immediately marched into the army as soon as the left wing was formed. He didn't even have time to wait for the right wing, because he needed to hold on to Huolu's Hema infantry. This army was one of the three main forces of Abaoji and others.
First, as long as the Hema Infantry Army is captured, all the counselors in the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion believe that Abaoji will never have the courage to sit idly by.
In fact, in the eyes of the Yu Hou staff officers of the Third Division of the Yingzhou Dudu Mansion, the Kumo Xi people are just a piece of bait used to hold back the enemy. However, because of the Xi people's princess Salanna, no one will blatantly use this person as bait.
With this view proclaimed, even Li Chengzhong himself had mixed emotions and allowed Huolu to bite the bait for nearly a month without moving.
Fortunately, the Kumoxi people withstood Huolu's attack, so the first step of the strategic plan of the Yingzhou Governor's Office was realized. The next step was to keep holding back Huolu's traces and wait for the main force of Abaoji and others.
"Because our army arrived relatively quickly, Huelu had no chance to turn around and escape. They had already set up camp three miles away in the northeast. According to the battle plan, the scouts from the old battalion continued to put continuous pressure on the Hema Infantry Army, and the cavalry battalion in the left wing also
We are on standby at any time. Once we find signs of Huolu evacuating and escaping, we will launch a pursuit. In addition, the intelligence from the old battalion scouts shows that this combined horse infantry is as we originally expected. It mainly fights on foot.
We are at a disadvantage in the battle..." Meng Xuxing, the commander of the left wing, was playing the role of Du Yuhou at this moment. He summarized the analysis of the staff and reported to Li Chengzhong.
Salanna was also sitting in the military meeting, and she immediately reminded: "Although the Hema Infantry Army mainly fights on foot, this army is all equipped with horses, and the military range is large and very fast."
Meng Xuxing nodded and said: "We have already prepared for this, but if Huelu tried to use horse power to escape, then he made a wrong calculation, because from another perspective, our Yingzhou Army is also a 'horse-horse infantry'
, our pursuit speed will not be much worse than our opponents!"
