Yuan Jun shouted and accepted the order, and resigned and sent a message to Li Luo's military order.
?b?i?q?u?g?Li Luo ordered Liu Ce to send orders to Ding Zhan, Chi Li and Hucha Dongchan to withdraw their troops together with General Zhongwu Shiwei and return to Mu Tianlang Camp.
Now that Dagan's army was far superior to Xirong, Li Luo no longer had any constraints on dispatching his troops. He divided his troops into several groups and drove the Qiang to the northeast of Dizhou.
The lieutenant general's order was quickly sent to the generals who were going to battle. Except for the infantry battalion and the middle base battalion of Mu Tianlang's army, which held the Lushui camp, the rest of the army, led by Liu Ce, pressed hard on Tuocheng the next day to close the Dagan front. Li Luo and Di Jie Shen Xiangdong then marched towards Moxia City, and the encirclement of Dagan gradually took shape.
Li Luo sent orders to set up the formation, and Di Jie saw them one by one. He was very careful and made few omissions. There were many merits in his planning and thinking, and he was secretly relieved.
The tenth day of May.
The remnants of the Xirong left army met Helian Chengxian and Huchajing's army in Qiliang City, south of Moxia City, and fought for several hours. Yuan Jun led 20,000 elite cavalry of the Western Expedition Army to cover up and kill them from the southeast, and the Qiang marched Outnumbered, they abandoned Liangcheng and retreated to the desert.
May 12th.
Mou Zhao bypassed Xinye, where Shiwei was stationed, and raided the southern Dagan garrison. Zhou Linhan received Li Luo's secret order and pretended to be defeated. Mou Zhao hurriedly marched to Moxia City, but was ambushed by General Chi Li and killed by Li Luo on the way. Zhou Linhan followed from behind. Attacked from a flank and defeated the Xirong cavalry.
Mou Zhao fled back to Linxia City in panic. Shi Wei set up an ambush fifty miles outside the city. The Xirong suffered heavy casualties. Thirty thousand troops went out to fight, but less than 10,000 escaped back to Linxia City. The Hui Mongols attacked Linxia, but if Shi Wei hadn't stopped him too much, Linxia City was almost captured by the Hui Mongols.
May 15th.
The Qiang Xingzhi planned to send troops to the Yunwuyan tribe north of Moshan, hoping to join forces with the Qiang Qingzhu soldiers. Helian Chengxian and Huchajing failed to check, and were ambushed and seriously injured. Fortunately, Yuan Jun and Chen Bing were killed. On one side, troops were sent out in a hurry, but the Qiang troops were insufficient and were attacked by the three armies of Dagan. In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat to Moxia City and missed the opportunity.
On the same day, Qiang Qingzhu sent troops to attack Yun Wuyan's tribe. The marching formation was correct, but unfortunately they encountered Yun Wuyan. Also, Qiang Qingzhu was worried about the safety of the Qiang march and sent troops too hastily, so Yun Wuyan retreated instead of advancing. He only wanted to hurt the enemy but did not stop him, which was somewhat similar to Li Luo's march.
The two armies fought for nearly an hour. Yun Wuyan personally led the army to set up an ambush in Moshan. It was almost the same as the Qiang Xing's plan. The whole army counterattacked, severely damaging Qiang Qingzhu's troops, beheading the army's general Ran Sheng, and general Ran Sheng. Qiang Qingzhu was forced to return to the Dizhou camp.
The left army of Xirong lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If Qiang Qingzhu had not known the opportunity to retreat earlier, almost the entire army was wiped out. Only less than 5,000 cavalry in the left army crossed Moshan and returned to Moxiacheng. The next day, the Japanese army inspected the horses. After discovering that Qiang Xingzhi heard the news, he was so angry that he spurted blood on the spot. Five thousand soldiers were surrounded and killed by three generals of Dagan outside Moxia City. Qiang Xingzhi sent troops to rescue the siege, but less than half of the soldiers were able to enter the city.
May seventeenth.
Jie Fenghuo wiped out the remnants of the right army, and they fought fiercely with Zhou Linhan outside Guannan Town. It was likely that the fish would die and the net would be broken. However, not long after the offensive, news came from Yingchou Gorge that Jie Cheng had died of serious injuries. The morale of the right army was in chaos, and Jie Fenghuo could not be subdued. They then sent troops from Xinye to find out the danger, but the right army had no intention of fighting and retreated to Yingchou Gorge. From then on, the left army of Xirong was surrounded by the Dagan army and was trapped alone in several cities in Dizhou.
On May 20th, in the territory of Dizhou, the winter snow melted away, dead trees returned to spring, and green grass sprouted. There was a sense of vitality.
Li Luo led his troops to join Helian Chengxian, Hucha Jing and Yuan Jun to surround Moxia City. Liu Ce led the Shesheng Tunqi and Huben battalions to defend Tuocheng, Ding Zhan garrisoned Qiliang, Zhou Linhan and Chen troops penetrated south.
The army was garrisoned in Xinye, Yun Wuyan was occupying the desert mountains, cutting off the father and son of Qiang Xing, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Moxia City.
Chinese army tent.
Helian Chengxian and Huchajing stood in the tent, and Yuan Jun stood aside. The three generals bowed their heads to plead guilty. All the generals in the tent sat neatly, and no one said a word.
Di Jie was in the middle, and Li Luo was sitting on the left. The three generals were facing Li Luo, bowing their heads and saying nothing. It was quite dull in the tent. Li Luo had not been in charge for a long time, but he was in a high position and had the precedent of being pregnant, so all the generals felt a little worried.
He was worried and didn't know how Li Luo would punish his generals.
Seeing Li Luo's silence, Di Jie coughed dryly and said, "Xuan Lou, it's up to you to decide how to punish him. I will never show favoritism."
Li Luo gave a slight salute and said: "Shuai Di is serious." After speaking, he turned his head, looked at the three people in the tent, and said slowly: "General Yuan, you sent the troops in time, with no faults, so please retreat first."
Yuan Jun was stunned and then replied: "General, Yuan Jun doesn't dare to take the credit. Before sending out the troops, the general and Commander Di repeatedly warned the last general that the march must be done step by step and be safe. General Helian and General Hucha
The leader of the army is outside and does not know it. The general is ineffective in conveying the message, so he should be punished together."
Li Luo did not comment, and raised his head to look at the three generals under the tent carefully. When he saw Helian Chengxian for the first time, he seemed to be young, but even younger than Chi Li. He had a face like a crown jade, a high nose and thin lips, and he was standing in the tent with a majestic air.
, they complement each other well with Hucha Jing and Yuan Jun, which is quite extraordinary.
Helian Chengxian and Huchajing closed their lips tightly, looking guilty but not afraid. After a while, Li Luo asked, "Why did you get ambush?"
Helian Chengxian and Huchajing looked at each other. Huchajing took a step forward and replied in a deep voice: "General, it was the last general who made a mistake. The Qiang Xingzhi led the suspicious troops out of the city. The last general misjudged that the remnants of Xirong's left army wanted to escape.
To the north of Moshan, Qiang Xingzhi hurriedly led his army to attack. Qiang Xingzhi pretended to be defeated and retreated towards Moshan. At the end of the day, the general raised his troops to pursue him. He was attacked by Xirong ambushes from both sides of the army. The Yueqi battalion suffered heavy casualties. If it were not for General Helian and General Yuan
If reinforcements come in time, the Yueqi camp will probably be seriously injured. This battle is really the fault of one person, the general. Please punish me, the general."
As soon as Hucha Jing finished speaking, Helian Chengxian took a step forward and continued: "General, Commander Di, this battle is not the responsibility of General Hucha Jing alone. When the general saw Qiang Xingzhi leading his army out of the city, he thought he was going to abandon the city.
City, and rushed to the rear camp of Commander Yun. When General Hucha sent out his troops, General Mo did not stop him, but followed him. He had the same thoughts as General Hucha, and rashly went to war. Being plotted by Qiang Xing, he asked the general and Commander Di to punish him.
." After saying this, he bowed deeply.
After the generals heard this, they didn't know what to do. They looked at the three people in the tent and then at Li Luo. They saw that Li Luo looked deep in thought. Di Jie, who was in command, also closed his eyes and meditated, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Generally speaking, no one interceded for Hucha Jing and Helian Chengxian for a while.
Li Luo stood up, walked to Huchajing and Helian Chengxian, looked at them intently, and asked quietly: "When Qiang Xingzhi sent out troops, why didn't you two notice that there was a fraud?"
"Qiang Xingzhi led his army to break out of the encirclement and went straight to Moshan. His cavalry officers and soldiers were equipped with dry food and water. In addition, the troops were sent out in a hurry. The general was stupid and thought that he wanted to make peace with Qiang Qingzhu and then plotted against our Dagan tribes.
He led his troops to intercept, but he unexpectedly led him into an ambush."
