The pressure on Dugu Yuming, Xue Sha and others was relieved. After seeing Haotian's handsome flag, they naturally understood Haotian's thoughts. It was obvious that Haotian hoped to transfer all the pressure to him.
Thinking that the army had opened up a path, everyone was moved. They heard Xue Sha and others shouting, and the army that had almost stagnated started to move again.
Seeing such a scene, Kasimbas and Yelv Canghai Jinmeiliu both smiled slightly. If nothing else happened, the war should have been settled like this. Although the Hetao army began to move forward again, this was not their concern
It seemed that it was just a flashback. At this moment, a dark cloud suddenly came over the horizon, and the sky suddenly darkened. There was only a thunderbolt, and the faces of Cassimbas and others suddenly changed, but they were originally suffering.
Haotian, who was supporting me, laughed wildly: "God helps me! God helps me!"
Dingzhou fell!
This news immediately deceived Li Xiao. Although there was no regular army in Dingzhou City, there were still 30,000 civilians serving as reserves under the command of He Fu himself, and He Fu personally sat in Dingzhou, and
There are no hostile forces around Dingzhou. Why did Dingzhou fall?
"General, Song Junlin, the eldest son of the Song family on Yizhou Road, suddenly led an army of 80,000 to the gates of Dingzhou City. On the pretext that the barbarians were about to invade Dingzhou and help defend Dingzhou, he forcibly took over all the military and government affairs in Dingzhou. The prefect He was also under his command.
House arrest." The soldiers said with tears in their eyes. After all, they themselves were still fighting the enemy bravely on the front line, but the Song family, who were nominally their allies, suddenly sent troops to Dingzhou and took advantage of the situation to rob their base. Such evil behavior is really outraged by both humans and gods.
At this time, Li Xiao finally understood where the Qianqiu Ming cavalry came from. Apparently they were disguised as businessmen heading south on the prairie, and entered Yizhou Road from Huangzhou on Hexi Road through the Yinping Ancient Road.
Then they passed through Bazhou, Yazhou, north of Yizhou Road, and entered the Dingzhou area through Jianmen Xiongguan. At this time, they began to tear off their disguises and led their troops to sneak attacks on their front and back. The Soul Eater intelligence agency in Hetao focused on Hu
The information about Tianwu Xinghe has not yet been completely digested. The three major aristocratic families were already prepared for the Hetao, so they actually missed this important news. It is said that the nomads are brave and foolhardy. Look at it this way
Come on, the opponent's coach Memphis is indeed worthy of being a famous general on the prairie. But what he didn't expect was that although his actions were hidden from the Hetao side, they all fell on the Song family on Yizhou Road.
In his eyes, Song Zhengfeng took advantage of his plan and let these thousand cavalry fight with him to the death, but he occupied Dingzhou effortlessly.
"Brothers, work harder and kill these nomadic barbarians first!" Li Xiao shouted loudly. The development of the war situation has now exceeded his expectations. Dingzhou has been lost, which means that he has no chance of defeating the 20,000 people.
There is no support from Dingzhou. However, even if Dingzhou is in our own hands, I am afraid that there is no support at all. The enemy is now attacking from both sides. It seems that the only way to hold the hope is to strangle these thousand cavalry first, and then concentrate their forces.
Jin Ferry.
Although they were caught off guard by the Tyumen cavalry at first, these soldiers were after all led by Li Xiao himself. Under the calm command of the general, the 10,000 soldiers quickly calmed down. The intensive spear formation began.
They were formed around a thousand cavalry. Countless arrows also began to tilt towards the nomadic cavalry of Zhongjian. Although the speed and flexibility of the light cavalry are the best among all types of arms, their protective power is very poor.
Poor. Especially when facing the spear formation of infantry, if you cannot break through the encirclement, the only consequence will be that you will be strangled step by step by the opponent.
When Li Xiao's spear formation was completed, the general of the Tyumen cavalry was obviously aware of the approaching danger, so he began to attack the outside regardless of casualties. However, the innate conflict between the arms and the narrow terrain here severely restricted the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
The fighting passion of the Hetao soldiers was obviously beyond their imagination. As the infantry slowly gathered together, although the Tyumen cavalry were unwilling to do so, they all died on the east bank of the ferry in the end.
The thousand cavalry were quickly strangled, but the general Li Xiao was not excited at all. Because he understood that the key battle was still on Fu Yang's side. If Fu Yang's side fell, no matter how great a victory his side could achieve,
It was useless. Although these thousand cavalry had been destroyed, they had bought a considerable amount of time for the Tyumen soldiers. The sheepskin rafts kept going back and forth, and the number of Tyumen soldiers on the east bank of the ferry soon reached a terrifying ten thousand. In balance
After the two sides gained a military advantage, they began to be unwilling to consolidate their territory, but steadily extended outwards. By the time Li Xiao eliminated the opponent's cavalry and rushed here, the opponent had already opened up a channel on the east bank of Wangjin Ferry.
The beachhead is half a mile deep.
Yinfeng Castle in the south of Dingzhou, the real master of Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, Jingxi King Li Tieming is standing on the top of Yinfeng Castle looking at the land in the north in a daze. Beside him is the commander of the Red Eyebrow Army.
, his brother Li Tiezhan and the commander of Yinfeng Castle, his second son Li Xiaoran.
"Brother, I don't understand why you suddenly became so hesitant. Now the interior of the Hetao is completely empty, and all Haotian's forces have been concentrated on those three fronts. With our current strength, as long as we command it properly,
, we can completely capture the six states of Hetao in less than a day. But at this critical moment, you suddenly ordered to stop the action, allowing Song Junlin to get Dingzhou in vain." Li Tiezhan said very dissatisfied. Capture Hetao
They had planned the Six Provinces plan several times, and had discussed many details for a long time. However, Li Tieming stopped at the drop of a hat, allowing the Song family to take advantage.
Li Tieming did not answer. After a long time, he said to Li Xiaomo: "Xiao Mo, you have lived in Yinfeng Castle for a long time. What do you think of the situation of the soldiers in the Hetao opposite?"
"Father, although I have lived here for a long time, we do not have much friendship between Qinchuan and Hetao, and our scouts have not crossed their respective borders at all, so I am not familiar with the specific situation. But I have watched it before
The military exercises of their Dingzhou soldiers. To be honest, their combat effectiveness is not as good as our Red Eyebrow Legion, and there is a certain gap compared with the garrison of Yinfeng Castle. However, their morale is extremely high. In time, they will definitely
He will be our strong enemy." Li Xiaoran said honestly.
After hearing this, Li Tieming just nodded slightly, and then asked noncommittally: "Tie Zhan, what do you think is the most decisive factor in the outcome of the war?"
"There is a saying in the art of war: time, location, and harmony. All three are key, but harmony is the most important." Li Tiezhan said without hesitation.
"That's right. Harmony means harmony." Li Tieming sighed and said: "Harmony, specifically, means the people's morale and the military's morale. If you have the military's morale, you can be invincible. If you have the people's morale, you can be invincible."
He can get the support of the people anytime and anywhere. Haotian raised a banner of justice that day to drive out the Hulu, which was really a happy thing. The hearts of millions of people in the six states of Hetao were captured by him. Therefore, although he took control of Hetao for a short time, he was
The status of the six states in the Hetao is unshakable. For any political power, we cannot only see its superficial strength. Although Haotian has 300,000 troops, what really scares me is the six million in the Hetao.
I have unreserved support for him."
"Father, do you mean that Haotian still has a backup plan?" Li Xiaoran asked half-understanding.
"No, in order to send troops to Jinzhou, he has used up all the strength in Hetao. However, Haotian can create such a magnificent situation in Hetao with a thousand cavalry, he must not be an ordinary person. He must also have some talents. This
Although Cassimbas laid a heavy siege, it is difficult to say whether Haotian can really be trapped. As long as he can return to Hetao alive, with his previous righteous deeds and this action, the people of Hetao will definitely be grateful.
Give him the most naked help. With the support of these six to seven million people, he will surely be able to regain his strength in the shortest possible time. Haotian is a sincere and sincere person, and he will repay every favor and resentment.
We must retaliate. If we take advantage of him now, we will definitely suffer his crazy revenge in the future."
"Brother, do you mean that we just sit back and watch? When they have the results, we will make decisions?" Li Tiezhan said with sudden realization.
"Yes, if Haotian defeats Jinzhou, then our army will immediately send troops to Hetao. The cavalry will rush to Fengling Ferry in Shizhou and Hukou Ferry in Anzhou as quickly as possible to block the footsteps of the foreign tribes going south, and then take precautions
He took over all affairs in Hetao on the grounds of being a foreigner. If Haotian wins, then we can only come forward to congratulate him. Song Zhengfeng thinks that he is extremely intelligent, but he is just dangerous and cunning. He sent troops to Dingzhou, thinking that
He took advantage of the sky, but if Haotian doesn't die, he will definitely not let it go in the future. Moreover, even if Haotian is defeated, there are still 80,000 troops from Qiu Ming Memphis at Fengling Ferry, and there are Luozhe in the south of Yizhou Road.
The dynasty is also ready to make a move, and they simply don’t have the extra power to control the Hetao. Their biggest role is to help us block Qiu Ming’s troops.”
These words made the two people around them suddenly realize. The reason why the Li family on Qinchuan Road has been able to rank first among the three major families in the past twenty years is inseparable from Li Tieming's cunning. Although the regular army on Qinchuan Road only has
The Red Eyebrow Legion's 100,000 plus the troops stationed in various places total 300,000, but once the army is launched, at least 200,000 trained soldiers can be summoned in the territory. Such a powerful force, although it cannot be compared with the imperial court, is already not inferior.
He also has the largest mobile force of any force in Qingfeng territory. No one in China can be his opponent.
Although the Song family on Yizhou Road can build an army of more than 400,000 with all its efforts, the Song family has no generals. Moreover, the Song family does not produce cavalry. In comparison, if you set out from Dingzhou and Yinfeng Castle at the same time,
, the Li family’s cavalry and the carriage that had been prepared would definitely arrive first.
"If Xiao Mo could hear Big Brother's judgment here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so willful, right?" Li Tiezhan sighed and said.
Li Tieming's face sank slightly, and he felt unhappy for a while. After the dispute at the Tiandu Shengjing Palace that day, Li Xiaomo mysteriously disappeared, along with his 10,000 elite troops stationed on the outskirts of Tiandu Shengjing.
.Although he knew clearly that Li Xiaomo had been taken out here, Li Xiaomo had always been meticulous, and there were also many forces in Qingfeng. For a while, he was unable to find out where Li Xiaomo had gone.
However, he is not too worried. He believes that with these 10,000 elite soldiers and Li Xiaomo's own intelligence and martial arts, even if he really goes north to Jinzhou, he will be able to escape unscathed.
"Tell brothers, Dingzhou has been occupied by the Song family, and we don't have any reinforcements. We can only fight to the death to kill these barbarians first, and then take back Dingzhou!" Li Xiao shouted almost hoarsely.
Although the water flow at Wangjin Ferry is fast, there are too many sheepskin rafts in Qiu Meng, and just a few trebuchets in the Loop cannot pose a fatal threat to the other party. Every time there is a round trip, there will be hundreds or even thousands more on the east bank of the ferry.
soldiers. If this continues, and the number of people in Qiu Ming exceeds our own, and even the war horses are brought over, then our 20,000 soldiers will no longer have a burial place.
At this moment, there was only a muffled thunder, and the sky suddenly turned gloomy. Without any warning, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy rain, like the first heavy rain after spring.
"God help me!" Li Xiao was ecstatic for a while, and his soldiers were also extremely excited. The water flow at Wangjin Ferry has always been fast, but now it's windy and rainy, and the world seems to be dark. It's impossible to cross the river.
Most of the thousands of floating sheepskin rafts were overturned by the wind and waves in just an instant, and it was obvious that the soldiers on them could not survive.
"Trebuchet, aim at those big ships and hit them!" After a moment of excitement, Li Xiao regained his composure as a soldier. He ordered to gather the remaining horses after a thousand cavalry were strangled, and sent them
They all rushed to the east bank of the ferry. Then they stabbed the horses hard on the buttocks. Hundreds of horses were frightened and immediately ran with all their might. However, the Tyumen soldiers who were lining up in front were caught off guard and were knocked out several times.
a gap.
"Charge forward!" Without too many words, the remaining three thousand reserves followed his figure and all rushed towards these gaps. The Qiumeng soldiers whose retreat was cut off were already fighting against this group.
The soldiers who looked at them were all trembling with fear. The originally relatively complete defense line was immediately broken up, and tens of thousands of soldiers were quickly surrounded.
When the storm suddenly came, Memphis knew that it had been defeated. It was not defeated by the location, nor by the strategy, but by the timing, and by the people. Without the support of the follow-up soldiers, it only relied on the ferry.
Although the 10,000 soldiers on the east coast could resist for a while, they were still unable to escape the situation of being wiped out in the end. Shaking his head helplessly, Memphis couldn't help but let out a long sigh, stealing chickens and losing rice. Unexpectedly, he not only
Wangjin Ferry was not captured, and nearly 20,000 soldiers and hundreds of sheepskin rafts were lost. Is this really God's will?
