Chapter one hundred and seventy-eight of underestimating the enemy
Huchajing and Helian Chengxian looked ashamed. Helianchengxian replied in a low voice: "Qiang Xingzhi was defeated by General Hucha. The army withdrew eastward. General Mo and General Hucha pursued them in a hurry. They ambush troops from the east of Moxia City.
When they left the city, they set up an ambush just as General Mo and General Hucha were catching up. There were Xirong ambushes on the left and right flanks. General Mo and General Hucha were caught off guard, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.? w?w w.?b?i?

Li Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back at Yuan Jun, and said lightly: "How could General Yuan send troops?"
Yuan Jun bowed hastily and replied: "General, I have discovered that the remnants of the Xirong Zuo Army have been coming from the east of Moxia City towards Moshan. Their movements are unknown. I am afraid that the Qiang have ulterior motives, so I lead 20,000 elite troops."
We rushed to Moshan from the southeast side, but we still got there a little late."
"Now that things have happened, do you think there are any flaws in Qiang's plan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an imperceptible smile appeared on Di Jie's lips.
Huchajing and the three men looked at each other, and Yuan Jun carefully considered his words and said: "The general thinks that there is indeed a flaw in Qiang Xing's plan. Yun Shuai has an army of 150,000 under his command, and Qiang Xing has been attacking for a long distance, and the troops are trapped and the horses are tired.
, and have fought with our army many times, and I know that Commander Yun is not an easy person. It is not easy to achieve success in a single battle. If our army cuts off the retreat, the Qiang Xingzhi will not be able to break through Commander Yun's camp.
There is almost no chance of survival. Qiang Xingzhi has been fighting with our Western Expedition army for several years. He is very cunning, his advance and retreat are orderly, and his march is unpredictable. He has never seen such desperate measures as today. The last few generals should have known that there was a trick."
"Well, apart from that, is there anything else?"
"This?" Huchajing and the other three looked hard at thinking, and the other generals in the tent were also secretly thinking about the flaws in Qiang Xingzhi's plan for sending troops this time. Helian Chengxian raised his head suddenly and said: "General, the last general
I got it."
"Oh, General Helian, tell me."
"The Qiang Qingzhu soldiers were trapped in a corner. The Qiang Xingzhi broke through Yun Shuai's camp without reason and joined the Qiang Qingzhu. This is true. When our army arrives together, together with Yun Shuai's hundreds of thousands of troops, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qiang Xingzhi.
They were trapped to the north of Moshan. Once our army is strong, unless the Qiang can use the Mongolian route, they will have to cross the black water between Huicheng and Huicheng, let alone the Huicheng country. Huicheng and Xirong are
It’s a feud, and the two countries have been at war for nearly a hundred years. If the Qiang choose this path, they are simply seeking their own death. I’m afraid they won’t be any more polite than I am when they return to Mongolia.”
Li Luo smiled slightly and said, "General Helian's words make sense. If you were Qiang Xingzhi, how would you resolve this crisis?"
"The last general thought that in order to break our Dagan army formation, we had to kill our soldiers on the battlefield. But now it seems that Qiang Xingzhi's left army no longer has such combat power, so he must find another way. In this way
, Qiang Xingzhi can only march eastward, bypassing Qiliang and Tuocheng, and flee to the south of Dizhou. There may be a glimmer of hope."
Helian Chengxian's idea coincided with that of Li Luo, and the generals in the tent nodded repeatedly. At the beginning of the march, Li Luo took precautions to prevent the Qiang from escaping back to the south bank of Lushui, and ordered Liu Ce to take strict precautions along the Lushui. If the Qiang were allowed to
After crossing the dew, the territory of Dizhou is vast, and it will be difficult to capture the Qiang and reach the sky.
Li Luo nodded and continued, "Is there anything else?"
Hucha Jing did not fall behind and said in a loud voice: "General, please think about it carefully. Although Qiang Xingzhi and his troops have food and grass, their army is lightly equipped. The food and grass are only enough for a few days at most, and they cannot last for long."
Japan. If there is no food in the army, no matter how brave the Xirong left army is, there is no way to fight our army on an empty stomach. Once trapped, the Xirong left army will collapse without a fight."
"You're right, Qiang Xing's troops are at the end of their strength. Even if they win this victory, as long as they don't kill all of my Dagan soldiers, they will inevitably be in decline." Li Luo changed his tone and said quietly: "Huh.
General Cha, General Helian, since Qiang Xingzhi has so many flaws, why did you lose?"
The air in the tent suddenly condensed, and after a long time, Huchajing replied loudly: "General, this is the fault of the last general who underestimated the enemy. Please punish me, general."
Li Luo shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about punishment for now. General Hucha, just say it's okay."
Huchajing calmed down his mind and replied in a deep voice: "The defeat this time is really due to the general underestimating the enemy. He thought that the trapped beasts of the Qiang were still fighting, so it was nothing to worry about. He was eager to avenge my brothers who died in Dagan.
The troops were sent out too hastily. Secondly, I was worried that he would break through General Kaiyun's camp and join Qiang Qingzhu's 60,000-strong army. It would take more time for our army to win again, and we don't know how many soldiers would be killed or injured. Furthermore,
Huchajing glanced at Helian Chengxian beside him, and said with a slightly red face: "The general still wants to compete with General Helian, so he will take the lead in raising troops."
Seeing Huchajing's outspoken words, Helian Chengxian glanced at Huchajing in surprise and replied in a low voice: "General, even the last general has a desire to win. He sent troops without permission without thinking carefully."
Li Luo didn't say anything, and you could hear needles dropping in the tent. Li Luo turned around and glanced at Di Jie and Shen Xiangdong. Di Jie's face was solemn, neither angry nor happy. Shen Xiangdong looked down at the tea cup on the table, as if to learn from the rough pottery.
Seeing some clues in the cup, Li Luo had no choice but to shake his head secretly, turned around and sat down behind the table. The generals in the tent took a deep breath and looked at Dongchan, looking at Li Luo and then at his brother, feeling uneasy.
Li Luo let out a long breath and said slowly: "Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting. If you encounter such a situation again in the future, what should you do?"
When the generals in the tent heard Li Luo's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Li Luo had no intention of punishing him. Huchajing was better, Helian Chengxian and Yuan Jun were both shocked, and Helian Chengxian was the first to reply:
"Follow closely behind the remnants of the Xirong troops, coordinate with Commander Yun, and defeat the Xirong cavalry."
Huchajing and Yuan Jun said in unison: "First break the desert and go to the city."
"Okay." Li Luo said loudly, "Yes, our three armies in Dagan separated two armies to follow the Qiang Xingzhi, and another army broke into the desert and went to the city. Once the city was defeated, the Qiang Xingzhi would be nothing more than rootless duckweeds.
It is difficult to escape from the siege of our army."
After saying that, he stood up and said: "This battle is not a bad one. It's just that the generals underestimated Qiang Xingzhi. You must know that Qiang Xingzhi has been running across Dizhou for decades and has not fallen. He has his own advantages."
, the battle in Dizhou, if Commander Di had not come to help, our Mu Tianlang tribe would have been almost wiped out in a decisive battle. We must not underestimate the enemy when we march in the future."
General Huchajing's eyes were filled with heat, and he loudly responded: "Follow the general's order."
Li Luo shook his head slightly and said: "Li Luo has only been in the army for less than a year, and his marching skills are far inferior to those of everyone here. Nearly half of Mu Tianlang was killed or injured, and it has something to do with me as the commander. These days on the battlefield and fighting
The soldiers lived and died together, attacking the city, but they didn't feel anything. Success or failure, life or death, it only took a few hours. It was just that the battle slowed down a little, and the wounded soldiers in the camp were still dead.
The hero of Dagan in a foreign land always lingers in my heart, making it difficult to feel at ease." (To be continued.) xh:.218.2o4.13
