Chapter 609: The Decisive Battle of Caiziba (Part 2)
After getting off the Qingyun, Xuanji suddenly asked: "Sir, are you worried?"
In the face of the mystery, Luo Xiang did not shy away, nodding and admitting: "It's a little bit. After Ji Hua escorted Li Hao back, I asked him in detail about every detail of his meeting with Li Xiaomo. Li Xiaomo
, He is really not a simple person. I originally thought that with the information fed back by this idiot Li Hao and Ji Hua's performance, I could at least confuse Li Xiaomo a little more. Who would have thought that he would react so quickly. Hey, if not
Because Song Zhengfeng is so smart, it might be really difficult for us to keep Song Zhengfeng’s 200,000-strong army."
Ji Hua was the personal soldier who escorted Li Hao and his party south that day. He was Ji Qing's biological brother and considered Luo Xiang's confidant.
"However, Li Xiaomo definitely doesn't know that we have figured out the identity of that person. Well, it was not certain at first, but now it seems that it is only possible that it is him."
, we have already made a mistake once, and we will never make the same mistake a second time.”
Luo Xiang smiled slightly, but did not refute. From Xuanji's point of view, he and he just performed a show in front of Li Hao that day, but what Xuanji didn't know was that the reason why he smiled so sinisterly that day was because of him
He and Chu Xiangcheng have already dug a trap for the three major aristocratic families. This trap is too deep and big enough to kill all the three major aristocratic families. Of course, this matter should not be revealed to Xuanji.
Well, Xuanji's heart is a bit too soft after all.
After complaining for a few words, the mystery returned to the topic: "Li Xiaomo is only one person after all. If Qin Chuan had more outstanding people like him, it would have a great impact on us. However, with his current ability
, our Hetao can crush it easily."
Luo Xiang quickly warned: "Military advisor, don't underestimate Li Xiaomo. The most powerful thing about this man is not his military and political talent, but his vision and judgment. No matter what the situation, he will
They can accurately judge the current situation and make the most advantageous choice. If Li Tieming could listen to his opinions on everything over the years, Qin Chuan would never be where he is now."
Although Luo Xiang criticized him so bluntly, Xuanji was not angry. He truly admired this old man and Chu Xiangcheng who stayed behind in the Hetao. These two people are both mature figures. Maybe they have better military and governance abilities.
You can compete with them, but when it comes to being a person and looking at people, there is indeed a big gap.
"Sir, are we now preparing the entire army to set off as planned?" Xuanji is still very concerned about the current battle situation. After all, there are not many opportunities like now, and who knows whether Song Zhengfeng and his son are on a whim. If they want to escape,
So with the current strength of Dugu and Xuesha, it is impossible to keep them all. And if Song Zhengfeng retreats to Yizhou Road, Hetao will definitely pay a heavy price when he attacks Yizhou in the future.
Luo Xiang thought for a while and said: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true. Let's see. The two pure cavalry regiments of Long Xiang and Feng Wu immediately went south to encircle the 300,000 troops of Song Zhengfeng and Li Tieming on a large scale. Huben, Honor and Panshi Corps
Marching at full speed, hoping to reach the battlefield as soon as possible. I think Feng Shuai and Xin Shuai have also received the news now, and they must be rushing to the battlefield at full speed. In this battle, we will break the backbone of the Song family!"
Xuanji gave the order, and the hundreds of thousands of troops heading south from Hetao, except for the Red Snake Legion who were currently resting in Yinfeng Castle, including the Fengwu Legion, all headed south at full speed.
Except for the Yinfeng Mountains in the north and the southwest area, most places on the Qinchuan Road are suitable for cavalry attacks. Qinchuan has long been determined to dominate the world, so among the three major families, the infantry of the Song family and the cavalry of the Li family
The navy of the Zhang family has always been the foundation of the three families. However, the Li family has been in bad luck over the years. During the southern and northern wars, the cavalry suffered heavy losses. Therefore, now, although the total strength of the Li family is still nearly 300,000,
However, the number of cavalry was only 100,000. However, Hetao gathered more than 150,000 cavalry this time, obviously preparing to wipe out all the 300,000 troops of Song Zhengfeng and Li Tiezhan at once.
"Dou Guangye!" Before leaving, Luo Xiang suddenly called out to Dou Guangye who was sharpening his gun. Among the five young men, Dou Guangye was the most inconspicuous. He was short in stature and taciturn in front of outsiders.
, and Tang Jian Guanzhi was a radiant person, so he was naturally covered up. However, Luo Xiang could always see the bloody light flashing in Dou Guangye's eyes when he was not aware of it.
Dou Guangye quickly put down the spear in his hand, saluted Luo Xiang and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Song Zhengfeng and Li Tiezhan are both cautious people. If they get the news that we are going south, they will definitely slip away immediately. The cavalry in the hands of the Solitary Commander and the Blood Commander is limited, and I am afraid they will not be able to hold them all back."
Dou Guangye's eyes flashed, and he said with a bit of blood: "Sir, what you mean is that all obstacles in front must be cleared to prevent people along the way from passing any information to Song Zhengfeng and others?"
Talking to smart people saves trouble, Luo Xiang thought in his mind: "Yes. The key to this battle is to block information and take surprise. Your Long Xiang Legion and Feng Wu Legion are the vanguard of the army. According to your marching speed, at most two hours
You can reach the battlefield with a quick march. But the Rock of Honor and other legions are pure infantry, at least two to three hours later than you. The Feng Wu legion is all women, and Princess Ruo is not a typical soldier like you, who is performing tasks.
Sometimes there will inevitably be a woman's kindness. Guangye, do you understand?"
"The general understands. Sir, please rest assured. The general guarantees that before our two cavalry legions arrive on the battlefield, they will never let the other party receive any news." Dou Guangye did not ask Luo Xiang why he chose himself instead of the legion.
Long Tang Jian, but Luo Xiang must have his reasons for doing this.
Luo Xiang nodded and watched Dou Guangye leave, his face full of joy. Wu Xiaolangjun is the earliest mature second-generation general in Hetao, and because he was influenced by Bian Zhongxing, Fengjing and others since childhood, every one of them
Everyone is the pride of heaven and has extraordinary talents. However, among the five, Luo Xiang only favors Dou Guangye. It is not that he is better than others, just because he can be more forbearing and silent, and his desire to kill is stronger.
Strong. This person, if nothing happens, will be the backbone of future military generals in Hetao.
Accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves, two pure cavalry legions have embarked on the journey. This battle is their first real battle after going south. Both Wu Xiaolangjun and Fu Ruoshui are quite prepared for this battle.
expect.
Jiang Chenzhou looked at the cavalry flying away with some envy, and couldn't help but sigh: "The cavalry is better, they are not like us, two legs cannot compare with four legs."
Hearing this, Xuanji said with a smile: "Different arms naturally have their own innate advantages. However, when the army goes south, the place where the cavalry can really show its strengths is between Qinchuan and Hehuai. Other places are too restricted by the terrain.
Large areas, especially the Jiangnan Third Road and Jinhua Mitsukoshi areas, are places where infantry can exert their combat effectiveness."
Jiang Chenzhou thought so, so he patted his head, whipped a soldier next to him, and shouted angrily: "Run faster! If we are dragging our feet like this, by the time we reach the battlefield, it will be dawn!"
The soldier was whipped by Jiang Chenzhou, but he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled and ran faster.
Xuanji slapped his forehead with a headache. Now, except for the Falcon Cavalry under Fengjing's command, all the legions in Hetao are more or less tainted with the atmosphere of Dugu's gangsters. Just like this, among the Hetao army,
It has become a common practice. Both generals and ordinary soldiers have formed a somewhat abnormal thinking, that is, it is natural and natural for generals to beat and scold the soldiers below. In the eyes of the soldiers in Hetao, if the generals do not care about themselves, they are too lazy to do so.
Learn a lesson. As for the mid-level and senior generals, they all agree that this is an effective way to get closer to soldiers and show their closeness.
Forget it, I can't control these things myself. After all, the military has its own rules. Besides, as long as no big trouble occurs, it's best to turn a blind eye. Xuanji thought in his mind, besides, the military in Hetao
Judge Dai Huang is a selfless man, and if there is any abuse of soldiers, he will definitely not be able to pass his test.
Luo Xiang had something different in mind. Infantry was the main force fighting southward in Hetao, especially in the Jiangnan Third Road and Yizhou Road areas. However, in the Jinhua Mitsukoshi area, if we only relied on infantry to attack, it would definitely cost a lot.
The price. In this case, it is better to do nothing and never stop. Since Haotian has already agreed to the proposal to kill Jinhua Mitsukoshi, then he will strike hard and make them unable to stand up forever.
After looking at the sky, Luo Xiang shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, order the infantry to speed up! You must arrive at the battlefield before dark, otherwise, the opponent will definitely take advantage of it!"
Caiziba. After half a million troops fighting each other for half a day, it was no longer possible to distinguish the original situation. Within a territory of thirty miles, only criss-crossing human figures and stumps scattered everywhere were seen. The rumbling golden drums
In the sound, shouts of death and screams could be heard endlessly, which made people's blood boil to the extreme.
"Commander, military advisor's order!" Song Zhong trotted all the way to Dugu and handed a letter with fire paint to Dugu.
Dugu opened fire and took out the letter. After hurriedly writing it down, he suddenly laughed: "Haha, Song Zhengfeng's death has come!"
Xiong Chuzhao, who had been beside him all this time, couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly: "Commander, are you preparing to attack across the board? If so, can you consider letting our brothers be the vanguard?"
Dugu rolled his eyes at him, and suddenly said: "After passing my command, the army will shrink across the board, form a crescent-shaped defensive formation, and slowly retreat back! Be careful not to let Song Zhengfeng see the clues."
Xiong Chuzhao was immediately discouraged when he heard this, but Ning Bai had a good idea and quickly asked: "Commander, are our cavalry arriving soon?"
Dugu glanced at him sideways and said, "Hey, you are really fast. However, the Fengwu Army and the Longxiang Army were able to reach the battlefield immediately, while the lord's army was only about two hours behind. Sunset.
Before, the infantry must have been able to reach the battlefield."
Although the area of Caiziba is wide, it is not so wide that hundreds of thousands of troops can fight in all directions. The advantages of cavalry on the battlefield lie in mobility and impact, so Dugu deliberately retreated the army five miles back in order to give the enemy a chance to fight.
Loop's incoming cavalry vacated more space.
The defensive front of the Hetao was distributed in a concave shape at the beginning, but as the battle became fierce, it gradually turned into a straight shape. The circular defensive formation is the most conducive to defense among all formations, while the crescent shape is a kind of both offensive and defensive.
A formation that focuses more on offense, but it puts defense first and then outflanks the two wings. However, in this way, the two sharp corners of the crescent shape will definitely bear greater pressure.
Seeing the Hetao army slowly retreating, both Li Tiezhan and Song Zhengfeng and his son breathed a long sigh of relief. The tenacity of the Hetao exceeded their expectations. Faced with the siege of the superior army, the Hetao not only refused to retreat, but also fought back
Li Li, especially the 30,000 cavalry led by Xue Sha, rushed into the rear of the infantry from time to time, causing a lot of trouble to the attacking Song Zhengfeng and others.
"Before dark, if we still can't defeat the Hetao army, then we can only retreat to Xiangzhou City." Song Zhengfeng wiped a cold sweat. The combat effectiveness of the Hetao army exceeded his imagination. At this time, he knew very well.
I found that my initial estimate of the combat effectiveness of the Hetao was wrong. Fortunately, there were no reinforcements in the Hetao, so I and others had maintained a strategic advantage.
However, if the battle cannot be ended by nightfall, the Hetao army will surely escape easily under the cover of darkness.
Li Tiezhan's mood was not at all relaxed. After all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, and his views on the battle situation were very different from Song Zhengfeng's. He knew very well that he and Song Zhengfeng were desperate, and the 300,000 troops in their hands were already two.
We have all the chips we can come up with within a certain period of time, and there is Haotian's 300,000-strong army headquarters in the north of Hetao, and 100,000 cavalrymen inscribed on the south side of the Hetao. If the other party comes to rescue quickly, then our side will be in danger.
Li Tiezhan's biggest mistake was that he was arrogant. In his opinion, under his personal leadership, the two coalition forces were also strong and unexpected. As soon as the two armies came into contact, they were able to severely damage each other and then resolve them in the shortest time.
fighting.
However, no one expected that Hetao's combat resilience was so strong, and its vigilance was also quite high. The surprise attack turned into a strong attack, and the quick battle turned into a protracted battle. This was naturally not what Li Tiezhan wanted. Although this is Qinchuan
The Li family's territory, but the Hetao, has a military advantage. If it continues like this, the only one who will be unlucky is the coalition itself.
"Idiot, you want to drag down our spirit with such an intensity of fighting. You are really a frog in the well." Dugu said disdainfully.
When it comes to combat toughness and fighting will, I am afraid that no army in the entire world can compare with the Hetao Army. In the final analysis, the reason why the Hetao Army's combat toughness is so strong and perverted is that we have to thank Kasin.
The Battle of Hukou planned by Bass. It was in that dark battle that the quality of the Hetao army was fully sublimated. Even the soldiers who joined later, under the influence of such a strong atmosphere, gradually
Being assimilated, it eventually became one of the instincts of the Hetao army.
In addition, the training of soldiers in Hetao is very harsh. Taking the walking ability of infantry as an example, even the most elite infantry in Qinchuan can march up to 130 miles in one day. And once they arrive on the battlefield, they must
They would be so tired that they would have to rest for three to five hours before they could regain some physical strength. But the Hetao infantry was different. Even the left-behind soldiers in Hetao who had the worst combat effectiveness at that time had to march 180 miles a day. And after reaching the battlefield, they still had to march 180 miles.
It is necessary to immediately dig trenches and lay out horse stakes, tripping ropes, etc.
Back then, under Bian Zhongxing's almost cruel training, the infantry of the Panshi Corps actually took less than two days to go from Wangjin Ferry on Hexi Road to Jiayuguan on Anxi Road.
The same is true for the cavalry in Hetao. Since they are all equipped with the finest war horses from the Bloody Plateau, the cavalry in Hetao has an unparalleled advantage. The horses of the Qinchuan cavalry can hardly support themselves after marching for up to five hours. Even if
They don’t care about horsepower and manpower, and they can only run up to three hundred miles a day. However, the Hetao is different. After it is liberalized, it is possible to run four hundred or even five hundred miles a day. Because of this, the Hetao army has grown over the years.
Only then can you dominate the world and dominate the world.
"Huh?" Dugu shouted in surprise. The rear of the Yizhou army suddenly became chaotic, and the chaos continued to expand and spread towards the central army of the Yizhou infantry.
"Could it be that Feng Shuai and Xin Shuai have arrived at the battlefield? Oops!" Dugu had a headache. Feng Jing and Xin Ke were both at Baidi City. Because the road in between was too far, Dugu couldn't contact them. Therefore, it was almost impossible to formulate a strategy.
At that time, Dugu didn't consider the two factors at all. Who knew they got the news from somewhere and actually rushed to the battlefield at this time.
Zhou Jilong hurried over and asked Dugu: "Commander, what should we do now?"
Dugu took a deep breath, suddenly raised his spirits and shouted: "Dugu Yuming is here in the Hetao. Although the world is big, who dares to fight with me!"
Dugu was originally a general at the level of one of China's top ten masters, and after a while of planning, his powerful voice actually overshadowed the shouts of killing on the entire battlefield, and was transmitted clearly.
"We haven't seen each other for several years, but this guy's skills have improved again!" Song Zhengfeng was shocked. More than ten years ago, when he and Dugu fought against each other, they were still indifferent. Later, Dugu became his subordinate. Naturally, there was no difference between the two.
The possibility of a fight. Song Zhengfeng had always thought that Dugu was on par with him at best, but when he heard this roar that broke the sky, Song Zhengfeng realized that he had been left behind by Dugu in terms of martial arts.
