"How is it possible? Didn't news just come in this morning that the Qingzhou Army was still stationary in Jixian until nightfall yesterday? How is it possible now... That's more than a hundred miles away! Isn't it said that the Qingzhou Army is mainly infantry?
?Even if you travel all night, you can't go so fast, right?"
"But the Yulin Army has only arrived in Dai County now. Apart from the main force of the Qingzhou Army in Ji County, where else are there other armies in Youzhou?"
The Hu chiefs were all shocked and could not figure out how the Qingzhou Army could appear here at this point in time as if out of thin air. However, apart from the Qingzhou Army, they could not find anyone else.
A reasonable explanation is that originally there were only Han troops in Xiguan in that direction.
"Could it be a bluff? Only a small number of cavalry came?" Murong Feng had read some military books and was no stranger to the allusions of the Central Plains. He knew that there was such a tactic as bluffing in the art of war.
"It's hard to say. Maybe the people in Qingzhou just think like us." The next person was the leader of the Tuoba tribe, who was worshiped as the ancestor by the Xianbei people in later generations. Tuoba Liwei, like Murong Feng, was an admirer of the Central Plains culture.
According to some research, he is known as a wise man and a far-sighted leader among his tribe, and he has made great achievements in military and political strategies.
"It would not be surprising if the Han army set out overnight, without any baggage, and traveled more than a hundred miles in one day and night. Although the Taishan Army was named after the mountain, its leader Xu Huang was famous in the Central Plains for his swiftness in using troops.
It has the reputation of marching straight in..."
"Master Tuoba means..." Murong Feng frowned: "Wang Yu is playing the trick of using the imaginary to make the real, and the real to make the imaginary?"
"Maybe." Tuoba Li nodded slightly, noncommittally.
"Everyone, everyone, there is no need to think so hard." Xu You raised his hands and shouted hoarsely, trying to make everyone hear his voice: "Whether it is a bluff or not, the Qingzhou Army is here. If it is a bluff, then they
The purpose is nothing more than to delay time or fish in troubled waters. If the whole division comes, they will have to attack over a long distance and the division will be exhausted!"
"Although he has all kinds of tricks, I can only defeat him with my strength..." The smoke is getting closer and closer, and Xu You's speech speed is getting faster and faster: "No strategy can change the balance of strength. Don't say he is attacking from a long distance, even if
No, with 20,000 cavalry, how can we withstand the siege of 100,000 cavalry? As long as you don’t mess up your position, this battle will be won!"
"Mr. Ziyuan is right. There is no need to think too much, otherwise you will fall into Wang Yu's plan. We grassland warriors are different from the cowards in the Central Plains. We don't have so many tricks up our sleeves..." At this point,
Leader Ruo glanced at Murong Feng thoughtfully, and everyone's eyes followed the sound, and the look in their eyes immediately also had a hint of contempt.
That's right, everyone was not scared by themselves just now, but by these two cowards who boasted about their resourcefulness. The biggest and most critical purpose of this battle was to lure Wang Yu over, and then shoot the man first and the horse.
Defeat the opponent with superior force. Reversal of disadvantage?
For this reason, everyone has made a lot of preparations. Because Wang Yu has not been fooled for a long time, he was very disappointed for a time. Now that he is here, what else do you want to think about? Just attack with all your strength!
"Qingzhou's cavalry are very powerful, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Ziyu and the others have inquired about it. The cavalry whose whole bodies are covered with iron armor are only over a thousand years old. As long as they don't collide with them head-on, they'll be fine... It's still the same old method, wolves.
The fighting method is to surround him from all sides. Even if he is covered in iron, how many times can he survive?"
Qian Man was dead, and the most likely threat to him was Murong Feng. He took this opportunity to suppress him, which made the leader feel extremely comfortable. He faced the crowd, raised his arms and shouted: "Kill Wang Yu, and the whole of Hebei will be ours."
In the pasture of the Xianbei people, we can kill all the men in Hebei, grab the women by their hair, and drag them to our tents. There is endless food there, no matter what season, there is salt to eat, and new tea...
…”
"Oh! Oh!" The Xianbei-style encouragement was very effective. The Hu chiefs' eyes instantly turned red or even green, like a pack of wolves that prey on others. In the winter afternoon when the sun was setting and the sun was dimming, they looked very...
Especially weird and terrifying.
"Warriors of Da Xianbei, fight to your heart's content!" Kuitou knew that the heat was coming, and he swung down his raised right hand violently, pointing at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance.
"Kill!" The Hu chiefs mounted their horses one after another, returned to their tribesmen, and conveyed the inspiring words of Shan Yu to all the Hu riders.
Cheers spread everywhere, the herdsmen shouldered their bows and arrows, carried their scimitars, howled like wolves, mounted their horses, and surged toward the southeast like a tide. The scene was extremely spectacular.
The Hu Cavalry army was surrounded on all sides, and the company camped for dozens of miles. In response to Shan Jing's attack, Kuitou only mobilized the troops stationed in the direction of Nancheng, but this time, he mobilized all his strength!
Although Hu Qi were not good at array fighting, they assembled very quickly. Long before the smoke in the distance approached, one hundred thousand Hu Qi had already assembled. Under the command of the leader, they formed a scorpion-shaped formation.
.
Facing the southeast direction, there is a scorpion head and two pincers. It is like a pocket, waiting for the enemy to get in, or actively trap the enemy in order to launch a siege. The scorpion tail has the absolute upper hand and can be solved quickly.
Shan Jing and Juyong City, and then joined the besieging Zahu army.
Xu You stood behind the leader, looking at the waiting Hu cavalry army and the Qingzhou army that was gradually slowing down, and couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing, sir?" As a great chanyu, the leader was very talented in playing tricks. When he saw Xu You laughing, he actually asked as if he was joking.
"I laughed at that Wang Yu's child's calculations were too clever, and finally we have today." This is what Xu You was waiting for. He pointed at the Qingzhou military formation and sneered: "The child's wishful thinking is nothing more than a surprise attack. If the big one is in a hurry,
If you don't take precautions, if you fight with a small number of troops and horses first, you will definitely be defeated by it, and it will turn into a bead curtain and sweep the entire army."
"But he had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that someone would make a point here. Da Shanyu would never fall into his trap. Now our army is well prepared and there is no gap to take advantage of. On the contrary, his teacher is exhausted and his son is still alive.
What can be done? If the great Chanyu is willing to trust you, please give the order to attack him head-on. Otherwise, the enemy troops will form a formation and it will be difficult to advance in a short time."
"It's just what I want!" The leader has now clearly seen the Han army's lineup. He found that the opponent's cavalry is in front and the infantry is behind. The team is very long. Although it looks huge, it cannot form an array at all.
From the words of the defeated soldiers in the Battle of Ma Ti Liang, Kuai Tou believed that he had a sufficient understanding of the strength of the Qingzhou Army. Qian Man's death was not unjust. From the moment he decided to fight in the decisive battle at Ma Ti Liang, his tragedy was doomed.
Once the Han army formed a formation in which multiple arms cooperated with each other without hindrance, it would be difficult for even a hundred thousand cavalry to defeat them.
If the Yulin army suddenly marches in this way and rushes to the battlefield before the victory is decided here, it will be difficult to determine the outcome, and the Han army may really make dumplings.
After hearing Xu You's reminder, he did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "The whole army attacks!"
"Woo..." The horn sounded long, and a hundred thousand horsemen rolled forward. The smoke they stepped on rose into the sky, and soon joined the smoke and dust coming from the south, covering the sky and the sun.
Whether it was Xu You, the leader of the Chinese army watching the battle, or Murong Feng and Tuoba Liwei, who were deliberately dragging themselves at the back of the formation with doubts, or the leaders of the various ministries rushing in front, they all showed smiles of relief.
There is no legendary, most soul-killing arrow array. There are no powerful spears and crossbows, and there is no indestructible shield array... The Han army is just like their ancestors who were introduced to the grassland and exhausted their energy on the road.
, fighting exhaustedly. Not even able to exert the fighting power of Eleven.
Is a great victory just around the corner?
If the Han army can be annihilated here, its significance is far from being as simple as a victory, but the beginning of another glorious era, the second spring for the Xianbei people after Tanshihuai!
Under the anticipation of countless pairs of eager eyes, the two armies collided with each other!
…
"Old Dan, Old Dan! What happened in Ji County? What on earth did you say to Wang Junhou! Such a hasty dispatch of troops is not about saving people, it is clearly..."
Hu Qi turned around to face the enemy, but the pressure on Zou Dan's side had not been relieved much. After the fierce battle, they were already bruised and exhausted, and their formation had become a mess. They were completely unable to cope with the siege of their defeated generals in the past. But Zou Dan really couldn't care less.
There were so many, so he left his opponents behind, found Shan Jing among the rebels, and grabbed the opponent's neck and asked loudly.
To forcefully compete for profit is to simply pin the victory or defeat on the enemy's incompetence. If the enemy is prepared to fight, then the only person who will be injured will be the one who cast the plan.
Now it seems that what the Qingzhou Army showed is exactly this posture.
The biggest advantage of the Han army over the Hu people is equipment and formations, especially bows and crossbows. If there are enough arrows and proper organization, it is entirely possible for thousands of Han troops to beat tens of thousands of Hu cavalry to the point where they cannot lift their heads. Li Ling back then
, Yu Jin now proves this point in his own way.
But the current Qingzhou main force, although the moment it appeared was very exciting, after the battle, it was completely disordered, without long-range suppression, without formation, and just ran headlong into the encirclement of Hu Qi, and behaved better than his own intentions.
People who go to death are worse.
"Send yourself to death? Can you blame me? I've begged so many times, but he just doesn't agree! If he had come earlier, why would he have done this?" Of course Shan Jing felt that he was wronged. If crying and begging were useful, the Qingzhou Army should have been dispatched long ago.
Now, if the two armies fight side by side, even if they can't defeat Hu Qi, they can at least make him have great concerns.
Even if the whole army does not come, it is enough to dispatch a part of the Taishan Army and fight steadily like the Yulin Army! How can you blame yourself for what is happening now? It is clearly Wang Yu who has self-defeated.
Zou Dan was speechless and looked sadly at Juyong City in the distance.
Although the lord cannot bear the death of people like himself here, he will not have too many regrets in his heart. But if the main force of Qingzhou is destroyed here, the lord may... That means that the entire Youzhou and even Hebei have lost their protection.
An unprecedented disaster!
The lord whose ambition is to drive out the barbarians and defend the frontier must...
"Eh?" Seeing this, Zou Dan was suddenly stunned and murmured: "My lord... My lord is playing the drum? Is he cheering for the king? He doesn't feel disappointed?"
"Otherwise, what can I do, just watch them die?" Shan Jing no longer had the energy to fight as before, with a dejected look on his face.
"No, that's not right!" Zou Dan shook his head vigorously, tugged on the single scripture, and shouted loudly: "Listen, listen! This drumbeat is not Yi Shuihan... Yes, it is Qin drum! It is Po Zhao's drumbeat.
The meaning of the drum music in the army comes from the classic battles of the past. Yi Shuihan is Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, so it is generous and tragic, suitable for warriors to play before their death. The defeat of Zhao in Qin drums is based on the battle of Changping.
In that battle, Qin general Bai Qi used his weak force to defeat 400,000 Zhao troops in one battle. Zhao, which had the strongest combat power among the six kingdoms in the Kanto region, was unable to recover and was almost destroyed.
Gongsun Zan would not change the drum beats for no reason. He suddenly played the drums himself and played the most exciting and uplifting music of breaking the formation. Apparently he had discovered something!
Could it be...
Are there other possibilities for the war situation?
