Chapter 300: The Taihang Storm is Coming Again (2)
Before dawn, all the 120,000 Hetao troops left behind in the camp had breakfast in advance and were standing in the camp ready to go. Feng Jing had a silent look on his face, silently looking at the dark mass of the Hetao troops, his heart still as it was.
The victory or defeat depends on this morning. Feng Jing thought in his heart. All the 100,000 cavalrymen were taken away. Now the only cavalry force in his hands is the 5,000 cavalrymen guarding Yumen Pass and 500 of his own soldiers. But the strength of Yumen Pass is
Absolutely cannot be mobilized. Only relying on the 120,000 infantry in hand can only hold back Yelu Chixian's remaining army. However, Yelu Chixian is a veteran on the battlefield and has more than 50,000 elite cavalry in hand. Therefore, this task
It's not easy either.
But if we don't take the initiative to attack now, Yelv Chixian might see through the reality of the Hetao army. It would be nothing if he leads the army to attack the Hetao camp. Feng Jingzheng wants it. But if Yelv Chixian also mobilizes all the cavalry to rush south
, then the one hundred thousand cavalrymen engraved on the letter would be in trouble. In order to cover up the traces of the engraved letter, Fengjing had to put on a show here.
"Commander, the entire army has been assembled and is waiting for your orders." Henghui stepped forward and said.
Feng Jing nodded, grabbed his pear blossom gun, looked up at the gray sky, and strode towards his horse.
"Henghui!" Fengjing suddenly shouted.
Henghui was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Fengjing to call him at this time, but he still answered with his feet upright and his back straight.
Feng Jing pondered for a long time, turned around, patted Heng Hui on the shoulder and said: "You don't have to participate in the war this time. I have a special mission for you. Remember, this matter concerns our 120,000 soldiers in Hetao.
Life and death, after thinking about it, only you have this ability."
Henghui was shocked. Before leaving, the commander-in-chief actually spoke in such a tone. What on earth could make the commander-in-chief be so cautious? However, he stood up straight and said calmly: "Commander, despite your orders,
Even if my body is broken into pieces, my subordinates will not hesitate."
Feng Jing nodded: "Today's battle is of great importance. Although the main battlefield is not on our side, we must play this scene well, otherwise it will be ruined. Henghui, you are an old soldier, you should understand
The battle situation between Commander Xin and Mistress Qingcheng is of great importance to our future offensive in the Hetao. If we win, then the Northeastern Allied Forces in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures will no longer be able to threaten our security in the Hetao, and we will be able to mobilize a large number of troops to go south.
If we fail and lose our most elite assault force, it will take us at least a year to recover. We don't have that time now, so we can only win this battle but not lose."
Henghui has been following Fengjing for more than a day or two. He still understands the thoughts of his old boss, so he tentatively said: "Commander, what you mean is that you will never tolerate Yelv Chixian deploying troops to disturb Commander Xin and
Mistress Qingcheng’s game?”
Feng Jing nodded: "Yes, that's what it means. According to our information, among the one hundred thousand troops of Bai Jinghe Kimur, there are only 30,000 cavalry. Even if some unexpected factors are added, the number of his cavalry will not be as high as 30,000."
More than 50,000. And there are more than 50,000 cavalry in the Mandan army. Yelv Chixian has rich battlefield experience, and Hekimur has good military skills, but we currently do not have enough cavalry to contain Yelv Chixian. Therefore, we must
Use some means to hold back Yelu Chixian's cavalry."
"A plan to suspect soldiers?" Henghui raised his eyebrows and said with some understanding,
A flash of appreciation flashed across Fengjing's face. Henghui saw it and felt happy in his heart. It is not an easy thing to get Fengjing's appreciation.
Fengjing patted Henghui on the shoulder: "Henghui, I only have 500 cavalry soldiers in our hands. Now you should lead these 500 cavalrymen out of camp and go straight south, along the lines of Xinshuai's cavalry last night.
The road makes a half-circle and then comes to the back of the Mandan camp. Along the way, you must hide your traces as much as possible, but you must also disguise yourself as someone with thirty to fifty thousand cavalry."
Henghui said in confusion: "Commander, why is this?"
Feng Jing smiled and explained: "The war is about to begin. Given Yelu Chi's apparent stability, we will definitely send more scouts to patrol with all our strength. Even if we can temporarily hide from their eyes, there is a high chance that the other party will discover you through some clues."
Whereabouts. The purpose of pretending to be between 30,000 and 50,000 cavalry is to make Yeluchi show his scruples, thinking that we want to attract their attention head-on and use the cavalry's partial division to win the victory. It's just a measure of this. You should take care of yourself.
Take advantage of it."
The art of war lies in the virtual and the real, and this is very clear to Feng Jing. The Henghui cavalry moved along the road engraved last night. They were able to cover up the traces engraved on the letter and confuse the opponent's sight. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
.
Henghui pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled at Fengjing and said: "This subordinate knows what to do. Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely be able to complete the task."
Feng Jing nodded: "It's good that you know. Xin Shuai's cavalry will attack and they will probably fight each other at dawn. However, even I can't guess the specific time when they will meet. Your mission will be
It's a disguise until noon. As soon as noon arrives, you will retreat immediately."
"Yes!" Henghui said respectfully.
"Then you go." Feng Jing said happily, but after taking a few steps, he stopped again: "Henghui, be careful when you go. But don't take it lightly when you come back."
Before dawn, Yelu Chixian was already sitting in the tent. As he got older, his sleep would not be very good. And with the war approaching, Yelu Chixian felt heavy in his heart. Last night, he tossed and turned in bed until
Around this time
He just went to bed, but maybe he was worried about Hekimul's army, so the old man only slept for less than an hour and two hours before he woke up. With nothing to do, he simply took a tour of the military camp.
Then he returned to his camp.
"General, there is a noise coming from the camp of the Hetao army, and there are signs of a large-scale gathering."
"Well, let's explore again!" Yelu Chixian nodded. It seems that he and Hekimul'er guessed correctly. Hetao has always been a passive defense since the troops were stationed at the border of Shazhou. It is rare for such a large-scale gathering of troops to occur.
The way they look now, it is obvious that they are preparing for a large-scale attack.
"General, the Hetao army has set up camp. I don't dare to get too close, but judging from the size, the number should be more than 100,000, but they are all infantry and no cavalry."
Yelu Chixian frowned slightly. According to his own intelligence, there were at least 100,000 cavalry among the more than 200,000 troops in Hetao. The leading generals, Feng Jinghe and Xinke, were famous cavalry generals in Hetao. In the past few years,
The three Northeastern countries are in the hands of these two.
Even Cassimbas sounded very solemn when he mentioned these two people. They are good at fighting, respecting and attacking. One hundred thousand cavalry is not a small number. It should be used at the right time and at the right place.
, enough to put yourself in a situation of no return.
"Send an order for the scouts to pay more attention to the camp in Hetao and pay close attention to news about the opponent's cavalry." Yelu Chixian said after a moment of pondering.
The sky is gradually turning white. In the far east, there is already a touch of white in the sky. In a while, the sun will come out. Yelu Chixian stood in the camp and faced the cool morning breeze and thought with a smile. The life of a soldier,
He has spent most of his life on the battlefield, from his youthful and frivolous youth, to his passionate and impulsive youth, and now to his mature and prudent old age. Decades of time have passed by in a flash, and countless scenes have emerged before his eyes. Originally, he thought he was enduring
I was able to retire in two years, but I didn't expect that I, who was already gray-haired, could still meet such an opponent.
Looking at the increasingly red eastern sky, Yelu Chixian suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. Have the current Northeastern Three Kingdoms reached the pinnacle of glory? Among the Northeastern Three Kingdoms, the capital of Beijing
Simbas is already eighty years old. Yelu Canghai, who is the same age as him, and Jin Meiliu, who is slightly older than him, are both sixty years old. Among the younger generation, Heji Muer and Jin Zongbiao have just turned five.
The ten-year-old Kan'er, the youngest should be his nephew Yelu Minghui, who is only in his early thirties now. If people of his own generation leave one after another, then just with Hekimul and the others,
Can it support the overall situation?
The most important thing is that the reason why the Three Northeastern Kingdoms are so powerful is because of the long-term vision and strong abilities of several people in power. Yelu Canghai's strategizing, Kasimbas's victorious battles, and Jinmei Liu's insidiousness.
When facing the Shenzhou Empire, due to common interests, although everyone had various conflicts, they finally came together. If my generation is gone, will the successors like Heki Mu'er and others still be able to do it?
Can such a cooperative situation be maintained?
Mandan Langye King has four sons, among whom Yelu Mingzhuang has died in Jinzhou, but the other three still have the right to inherit the throne. Although Yelu Minghui is a rising star in the Mandan military, but Langye King
I like the second prince Yelu Minghuang even more. The fight for the throne has destined that Mandan will not be too peaceful.
Although Baijing has confirmed Trikbus as the heir to the throne, he also has a good relationship with Hekimur, the most outstanding military figure in Baijing besides Cassimbas. But Hekimur is the king's uncle after all, and Pu
Liski II's health is getting worse now. When the time comes, the emperor will be strong and his ministers will be strong, and Hekimur's prestige in the military is quite high. Who knows whether an accident will happen.
As for Haixi, the three brothers Jin Zongbiao, Jin Zongwu and Jin Zonghan have never been calm. Jin Meiliu, who is in charge of power in Haixi, does not have a harmonious relationship with these three brothers. I am afraid that once Jin Meicang dies, Haixi will be his uncle and nephew.
It's a situation where brothers are fighting among themselves.
