When Li Shiyi rushed to the battlefield, the battle, or massacre, in Ma Tiliang was already on its fourth day. The tragic scene made his scalp numb.
It's not that he hasn't seen anything worse than this. The battle in Gaotang that year had a scale of 100,000 people. The number of people who died on the battlefield alone was more than the two armies combined in the Battle of Ma Ti Liang.
Especially those Huns who were slaughtered with iron blood under Wang Yu's order after losing their fighting spirit, were as miserable as they could be.
The reason why he was moved by the scene in front of him was that the battle situation was beyond his expectation. He thought that the Yulin Army would win, and he knew that the Yulin Army won, but he never expected that Yu Jin would fight the battle.
It has become like this!
Among the mountains in the distance, the mountain ridges are covered with white snow, and occasionally a little green and black is exposed. If you look closely, you can see the tall pines and cypresses, which is a very beautiful scenery.
But at this moment, the snowfield is full of spots, and the corpses of men and horses are scattered everywhere. Many people still hug their horses until they die. After careful observation, it is found that what keeps them closely connected is often a throwing gun, or several
Long arrow.
The blood has solidified into a green-black color, covering the white snow and forming a continuous patch, as if the gate to the underworld had once opened here and the karmic fire from the netherworld had burned this place.
Behind the layers of corpses, more than 10,000 Xianbei soldiers huddled together in fear. Their faces did not have the arrogance and cruelty on the faces of the shepherds they had seen along the way. There was no trace of the Xianbei warriors who were powerful in the desert.
Glory? Just like a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
At this moment, Li Shiyi deeply understood his lord's evaluation of the Hu people...
When in power, he is as cruel as a wolf;
When making a sneak attack, he is as cunning as a fox;
When you fall out, you are ruthless;
When you lose power, you are as timid as a rat!
Although you will encounter many enemies when fighting for supremacy in the Central Plains. Some of them may be as cowardly as the Hulu, but it must be said that fighting enemies with faith is much more difficult and easier than fighting against the Hu tribe.
Of course, it is difficult because those enemies have many methods and knowledge. Many times, victory or defeat does not depend on strategy, but only on courage. The Hu people are not that troublesome. After all, the Qingzhou Army is not a Bingzhou or Youzhou frontier army that lacks supplies.
It is completely possible to take advantage of equipment and military strategy to suppress the Hu tribe.
Relaxation refers to the mood after defeating the opponent. Although the victory in the Hebei War was hearty and joyful, Ju Shou's moral integrity, literary ugliness, and Gao Lan's heroism of not surrendering in a deadly battle, even if he is on the winner's side, his mood will become heavy.
.And what about killing barbarians? Even killing prisoners is so refreshing and relaxing.
"...Launch a general offensive today to completely wipe out Qian Man's tribe!" While thinking, he suddenly heard long-lost and familiar words, and Li Shiyi was shocked to realize that he had already arrived outside the Chinese army's tent.
He didn't hear what Yu Jin said before. He didn't care either. Yu Jin's style was to be concise and to the point, without too many modifiers. He didn't want to see the scene where the generals were excited and yelling after his lecture.
"I have the order!" Sure enough. Amidst the clanging of the armor, the generals responded to the order, but there was not much arrogance. On the contrary, each one seemed calm and unusual. And Yu Jin's order was clearly to annihilate all the enemy troops, which should be very exciting.
.
The Yulin generals filed out, and the last one to come out was Ji Ling. This newly-joined deputy general had a white cloth wrapped around his head. He looked injured. However, he was in good spirits. Judging from the looks of him and his colleagues,
With his joking demeanor, he should have integrated well into the new team.
"Eleven?" Ji Ling was slightly surprised when he saw Li Eleven, "Why are you here? Could it be..." He patted the back of his head and grinned: "My lord, you are really clever."
"My lord didn't say it clearly, but I thought that with General Wenze's temperament, he would definitely not let the barbarians come and go freely in a place like Feihu Road, so I went here to find out." Li Shiyi replied with a smile.
Of course, he would not say it clearly. If Yu Jin was still in Lingqiu or Guangchang, it would not mean much whether he went to deliver the order or not.
It is a fallacy that the combat power of infantry must be worse than that of cavalry, but the mobility of infantry is worse than that of cavalry, but it is the most correct truth. He, Mu Wang and others set out overnight on the day Shan Jing asked for help and arrived at Ma Ti
Liang has been using it for two days.
According to Shan Jing, Juyong City should not be able to last for five days. In other words, there are still three days left to save Gongsun Zan. Even if Yu Jin completely eliminates Qian Man today and rushes to the battlefield at the same time, it should be too late to save Gongsun Zan.
Yes, if you are still in Lingqiu City, what else is there to say?
Seeing that Li Shiyi was looking wrong, Ji Ling complained to his colleagues who were out of the tent together. Then he pulled Li Shiyi and was about to ask for details when he saw the tent door opened and Yu Jin, dressed in military uniform, walked out slowly.
"General Wen Ze." The two men hurriedly greeted him.
"It doesn't matter." Yu Jin nodded in return and asked directly: "What Lieutenant Li is here to convey should be the Lord's intention to promote war, right?"
"I don't dare to hide it from each other, actually..." Li Shiyi was very familiar with Yu Jin and knew each other's temperament and style, so he didn't exchange much greetings. He immediately told the other party truthfully about the individual request for help and subsequent military discussions.
"I see, Juyong City is in danger..." Yu Jin nodded slightly and muttered: "The Lord's original intention is to save him, but everyone's opinions have their own reasons. Since Captain Li is here, the Lord should
Have you made a decision and a countermeasure?" He frowned and lowered his voice: "He won't want to..."
"It's true that it didn't happen this time. My lord was just undecided and had no intention of putting himself in danger." Li Shiyi knew what Yu Jin meant. Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, Wang Yu would most likely use his unique troops to take the lead and rely on his personal bravery to reverse the situation.
situation.
However, the same sentence remains. Now that the Qingzhou family has a great cause and many powerful generals, even if they take risks, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and the others should go. Wang Yu, the coach, is the most reassuring to sit in the rear.
"That's the case, I already understand what my lord means." Yu Jin nodded and seemed to put his mind at ease, which confused Li Shiyi.
This time he came out to deliver a message, and the order he received from Wang Yu was very vague, which was to ask them to try to contact Yu Jin and Zhao Yun, confirm the location of the two armies, and then report detailed military information to the second general as appropriate.
There is no specific content about what to do specifically, what kind of cooperation they need to do, and what strategy is finally achieved. Li Shiyi was also very touched by the almost unconditional trust given by his lord to his generals, but this did not help him.
Understand Wang Yu’s intentions.
As a result, as soon as Yu Jin listened to the message he conveyed, he understood that the gap was too big, right?
Li Shiyi was very ashamed and felt that he was not competent enough. He had always been by his lord's side and had handled all military matters, so why hadn't General Wen Ze, who was leading the army outside, figured it out?
He was at a loss. However, Yu Jin was very organized and figured out the key points. He continued to ask: "Li Xiaowei, does the master need a reply, or..."
Li Shiyi calmed down and replied: "My lord ordered me to accompany the army as counselor in case the general inquires." After thinking about it, he finally couldn't hold it back and asked hesitantly: "General Wen Ze, you said you understand what my lord means.
in the end……"
Yu Jin chuckled: "Li Xiaowei, you are a fan of the authorities. The Lord always adheres to the principle of trusting those who use people and not using those who doubt him. He entrusted the Western Front to someone because he believed in someone's judgment and military strategy. This time
, he sent you here to report the military situation, just to tell someone that this battle has reached the final moment, there is no need to think too much, and there is no need to reserve strength. Fight if you can. The priority is to point the troops at Juyong City as soon as possible!"
"..." Li Shiyi was dumbfounded when he heard this. He had no idea that Wang Yu's effort in passing the order had such an intention.
But looking back and thinking carefully about Wang Yu's acting style, he felt that what Yu Jin said was indeed very possible. If the three armies could advance in unison, they might be able to make the Xianbei people retreat without a fight and defeat Juju without a bloody blow.
Surrounded by mediocrity.
"Then now..."
"Qian Man is already a local chicken and a dog. Li Xiaowei is an envoy and is like the Lord's eyes and ears. Let's see Yu Jin defeat the enemy in half a day and annihilate all the barbarians here!" At this point, Yu Jin, who had always been calm, also gained some energy.
A flying look.
Li Shiyi knew that this was probably the positive effect caused by the lord's trust.
The next moment, Guo heard Yu Jin murmuring in a low voice: "When a real man lives in the world, when he meets his master, he relies on the righteousness of his monarch and his ministers on the outside, and the kindness of his flesh and blood on the inside. He must do what he says and follow his plans, and he will share misfortunes and blessings. If this is the case in this life, husband
What more could you ask for?"
After reading, he raised his steps boldly and kept giving orders: "Vice General Ji, please send your troops to serve as our vanguard. Wang Xiaowei's troops will be the second echelon. Zhang Xiaowei..."
Although Yu Jin was originally going to launch a general offensive, the current deployment was completely different from the previous one.
Although it was previously necessary to annihilate Qian Man's remnants as soon as possible, it was not completely non-negotiable. Instead, casualties were minimized. Depending on the enemy's condition, it was decided whether to deal with it on the same day or to allow the opponent to survive for another day or two.
But now, Yu Jin made it very clear that he would defeat the enemy in half a day! Hearing his orders and arrangements again, how could Ji Ling and other generals still not know what the general meant? They all cheered up and accepted the order with great enthusiasm.
"...General Wen Ze, actually..." Li Shiyi's blood was also boiling, and he wished he could immediately join Yu Jin's command and fight together to kill the enemy. He reluctantly used his reason to suppress the surging blood, and he resumed his duties as a scout.
"Is there a conspiracy against Zilong?" Yu Jin was slightly startled and stopped.
"Yes, the generals and others rescued a group of refugees on the way, and one of them was a couple who were Tonghu..." Li Shiyi explained.
What the woman later told was a secret that her lost husband had heard from the people of the Xianyu family. The steward of the Xianyu family was drunk at the time, and it was not that he regretted it later and wanted to silence the couple, so he
There were subsequent disasters. But Li Shiyi was not concerned about this, but the big secret that the other party told.
Things like conspiracy have always been despised by true brave men, but throughout the ages, this kind of dishonest trick has buried countless heroes. When he heard about this, Li Shiyi was already very worried. Now he arrived at his home
In the camp, it was discovered that the Yulin Army had a lot of spare strength, so it was natural to discuss it together.
"It doesn't matter." After listening for a moment, Yu Jin waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "There is nothing wrong with the strategy itself, but it is just used on the wrong target. If it is used against someone, it will have some effect, but if it is used against Zilong...
…It’s a bit too flippant, so don’t worry about it.”
After that, he waved his hand and shouted: "Blow the drums, blow the trumpets, and spread the chariots in the formation!"
"Woooooooo..." The horn sounded urgently, urging people to grow old;
"Dong dong dong..." The war drum beat, and there were bursts of thunder.
There was chaos in the Xianbei camp. The leaders shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to take up weapons to face the enemy. The latter moved reluctantly and tried his best to squeeze his companions in front of him.
"Can you survive today?" Qian Man's voice was trembling, and his eyes were filled with despair.
He doesn't want to die. He is the grandson of Tan Shihuai, and he has the blood of heroes. His mission is not over yet. He still has to lead his people to regain the glory of twenty years ago, and even surpass that glorious era!
How can you die here?
"Maybe..." All the elders around them looked ashen. Until now, they still didn't understand that they had been abandoned and treated as abandoned sons to stop this powerful and outrageous Han army.
Now the leader must be making preparations to escape. Anyway, the Han army cannot pursue them all the way to the depths of the desert. The lost tribes can be made up for by plundering the Han people. Even if there is a shortcoming, as long as Qian Man dies, no one will fight with him.
It is enough for him to fight for position.
The only hope at the moment is to use the remaining soldiers to delay as much time as possible, try to find an opportunity to break out, and escape with a small number of elites.
However, they did not know what they were going to face today. It was the most violent and powerful killing formation among the Han infantry formations! Even Cao Cao and Sun Jian could not resist it back then, and now the Hu people are even more powerful.
The only option is to be crushed into slag!
"To give wings to the country is as prosperous as a forest!"
Amidst the thunderous war trumpets, the rolling formation surged forward, like the wheels of history, rolling away firmly and unstoppably. Hu Qi's formation was bent and stretched in an instant, until the pressure reached the extreme, and it collapsed instantly.
Destroyed and turned into powder all over the sky...
In the second year of the Kaiyuan period of the New Han Dynasty, on the third day of the first lunar month, General Fu Jun defeated Xianbei Qianman in Jin at Ma Ti Liang. They fought fiercely for four days and won a great victory. He was so disgusted with Hu that he slaughtered 20,000 tribal warriors and built a capital at the entrance of Feihu Road.
