In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the Xirong army quietly opened the city gate. Jie Cheng's 80,000-strong army only left more than 10,000 to defend the city. The rest of the right-wing soldiers attacked in full force and headed towards Dizhou Mu Tianlang's camp.??
Just when Jicheng was dispatching troops, Li Luoluo at Luocao Mountain also received an urgent military report from Kuang Lizhe and Qi Shaobing in Shahu Prefecture. The Qiang Xingzhi secretly dispatched more than 10,000 elite cavalry, led by the Qiang Xingzhi.
The eldest son, Qiang Qingchi, led by Qiang Qingchi, took advantage of Liu Ce's troops in Dizhou, quietly crossed the dew line, broke into Shahuzhou, burned, killed and looted everywhere in order to herd the Tianlang rear camp.
When the message was sent to the army, Qiang Qingchi had already broken through Kuang Lizhe's defense line, rushed into the hinterland of Shahu, and was even more likely to march towards Zhuocheng.
Li Luo called Ding Zhan and Chi Li into the tent to discuss matters. After reading the urgent report from the army, Ding Zhan and Chi Li frowned.
The skilled warriors in Mu Tianlang's army have followed Liu Ce and Ding into Dizhou. The ones left behind in the Shuangfeng camp are only the rear troops of Qi Shao's soldiers. Their combat strength is far from that of the elite left army of Xirong. Even Kuang Lizhe
He has a reputation of being wise and brave, but he has no available soldiers and can do nothing but let Qiang Qingchi wreak havoc in Shahu.
Chi Li clicked his tongue and said, "Qiang Xingzhi is so courageous. General Di has more than 300,000 troops, and he dares to use his elite troops to attack our Shahu Camp."
Ding Zhan solemnly replied: "General, it is really difficult to prevent this move. It would be better if the Xirong cavalry only plundered and felled in Shahu. I am afraid that he would break through the border of Shahu and enter the land of Zhongfu. In this way,
, even if I, Mu Tianlang, defeat Jie Cheng, I'm afraid there will be a lot of gossip."
Li Luo looked at the map of Xifu drawn by the army and was silent. Ding Zhan continued: "General, between Shahu and Zhuozhou there are Huluzhou, Quanzhou and Gongzhou. If you lead half of the Huqi camp, you will
Officers, please intercept Qiang Qingchi before he enters Zhuozhou."
Chi Li hesitated and said: "General Ding, Qiang Qingchi only has more than ten thousand cavalry. I, Dagan, have hundreds of thousands of defenders in Hulu and Quangong Prefectures. How can I still not stop them?"
Ding Zhan smiled bitterly and said: "The defenders in these states are a little short of resources to suppress the mountain bandits, let alone the elite cavalry of Qiang Xingzhi. Let alone blocking the attack, we are lucky to be able to save our lives."
Chi Li was speechless. The defenders of the state capital were usually very domineering, but when it came to fighting, they couldn't be more different from Mu Tianlang.
There was silence in the tent for a moment. Ding Zhan and Chi Li looked at Li Luo. After a while, Li Luo raised his head and smiled slightly: "Don't panic, I sent a message to Zhuocheng a month ago to let them take precautions.
There is no danger in Hu Lu Prefecture, but Quanzhou is mountainous and there are many checkpoints in the prefecture that can be defended. As I expected, the Shepherd King Li Chengwen has now sent troops to Quanzhou."
"Ah!?" Ding Zhan and Chi Li exclaimed, looking at each other. After a while, Chi Li took a deep breath and said, "General, it turns out you had expected this."
"When I arrived at Luocao Mountain, I kept thinking about what I would do if I were Qiang Xingzhi. This was also thanks to General Di's words. Qiang Xingzhi acted carefully. But he also made good use of surprise troops. Dizhou's war was unfavorable.
Attack against attack, Xirong will not gain much advantage. Only by making dangerous moves can we achieve a great victory over our Dagan tribes."
Ding Zhan and Chi Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Ding Zhan continued: "General, how should our army respond?"
Li Luo smiled and said: "General Ding has already made a plan. You might as well tell him and listen."
Ding Zhan smiled awkwardly and continued: "Since Qiang Xingzhi has sent cavalry to Shahu, he must send troops to break the Dizhou camp and then try to lead him. For this plan, the general will think that we can no longer defend Luocao
The two armies on the left and right of Shan and Xirong are gathered together. General Liu is afraid that he will not be able to hold on and our army will come to help."
Chi Li also nodded and said: "After such a long rest, Xirong has not sent any more soldiers to Luocao Mountain. It is expected that Shepherd Tianlang will not give up easily, so he simply took a gamble and let Sheng Yin fall.
We have it in our hands. Don't rush to fight us in Luocao Mountain." Chi Li paused for a moment. He glanced at Li Luo and then continued: "But we have the Saint of Ancestor Mountain as a hostage, so the Xirong army has no choice but to fight.
If there is a delay, our army can be deployed calmly. Judging from the secret report sent back by Shuo Xi, if the right army in Jie City still cannot rescue Sheng Yin, I am afraid that Jie Luo's throne will not be preserved."
Li Luo continued: "Jiecheng may have known the news of Qiang Qingchi's Qingqi entering Shahu Lake for a long time, and they will definitely send troops today at the latest. Firstly, they will break through the armies of General Liu and General Hucha, and secondly, they will attack us
Intercept our troops before withdrawing to Shuangfeng Camp to prevent Shengyin from being taken back to Shahu Camp. Qiang Xingzhi’s plan forced us to fight, and did not give Jie Cheng a chance to breathe. The two armies originally did not fight.
If we don't stop, let Qiang Xingzhi force a situation where we can fight or retreat. If we and General Liu are allowed to retreat to Shuangfeng Camp, not only Jie City, but also Qiang Xingzhi will be in trouble."
Chi Li frowned and said: "If we withdraw our troops, General Liu and General Hucha will be unable to support themselves. Qiang Xingzhi can send troops to severely injure our Mu Tianlang, and then try the Shuangfeng camp. In this way, in addition to fighting to the death, the right army in Jie City will also
There is no way to retreat. This Qiang is very clever. Once our army retreats to Shahu, he will have Jie Cheng to die for him. Maybe the royal court of Xirong will ask him to lead his troops to fight."
Ding Zhan tugged at Qiu's beard and said in a low voice: "My son has rushed into Shahu with his cavalry. I will definitely not be able to sit still. I just don't know when Qiang Xingzhi will send out troops and from where."
Li Luozhan smiled and said: "Now his whereabouts have been revealed. Hu Qi's camp is far away in Luocao Mountain. He is beyond his reach. The person he is targeting must be the Dizhou camp of General Liu and General Hucha. Qiang Xingzhi's courage is so great that we are sure
He will not retreat without a fight. In this case, there is no need for us to make wedding clothes and give him a big gift in vain. General Ding, you and General Chi prepare your troops and send troops immediately. Dizhou is turbulent, how can we be left behind?
"
Chi Li and Ding Zhan suddenly became angry. They all responded and turned around to leave the stone house.
Five days later.
Hu Qiying settled down in a secluded place on the back of a mountain three hundred miles away from where Liu Ce and Huchajing led their troops.
Li Luo looked at the map in his hand and frowned. Chi Li Dingzhan, together with the generals Lu Dingyuan and Shi Zechen who were members of the Hu Qi camp that day, gathered at the Chinese army's tent. They all had solemn faces and looked at the things on the table.
Tu Tu remained silent for a long time. Chi Li took out a long breath and said, "What is this Qiang Xingzhi's reputation?"
Li Luo looked up at Ding Zhan and asked, "How about General Liu and General Hucha?"
"Back to the general, before our troops sent out troops, General Mo and General Chi personally sent a military order to the general, ordering General Liu to lead his troops to retreat to Shahu. As expected, Jicheng attacked General Liu fiercely. The scouts reported that the right army of Xirong has been
In contact with General Liu, the two armies fought several times, and both suffered injuries. However, General Liu and General Hucha had already expected that Jiecheng did not take advantage of it. Now they are in a stalemate on the north bank of Dew, three hundred miles away. After breaking camp,
Jiecheng became anxious. The Xirong cavalry attacked day and night, but were repulsed by General Liu. However, the Xirong cavalry was good at attacking. In the past few days, our army has suffered quite a lot of casualties." (To be continued.)
