Chapter 546: The Brave Who Meets in a Narrow Way Wins
Wei Ba sighed and said slowly: "I know you hate them. But it is precisely because you hate them that you cannot be impulsive or alert the enemy. What we want is to eliminate all 10,000 of them, not just kill them.
A few scouts. We are fighting, not fighting between tribes, let alone snatching brides. I have emphasized this point countless times during training. If you can't change this habit, then leave now. I don't need you.
Such subordinates will kill everyone if you do this."
"Sir, we were wrong." The barbarian scouts who made the mistake were scolded until their faces turned red and they were ashamed, but they refused to leave. It is an honor to become the subordinates of the god general. If they are driven away by the god general, they will return to the tribe.
You can't see anyone either. Although the barbarians have never read books and don't know what a saint is, it goes without saying that they attach great importance to face.
"Now that you know you were wrong, stop standing and go have a rest. We will continue marching in a while."
The barbarians left obediently, and no one dared to mention their merits. General Wei did not punish them, which was already a great gift.
Xia Houxuan frowned: "Ziyu, what should I do about this?"
Wei Ba pondered for a long time and made up his mind. "Now that we are here, we can't retreat. The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Let's go up to him and catch him off guard."
Xia Houxuan said worriedly: "The soldiers have been traveling for two days and are in urgent need of rest. If we continue marching, even if we get there, will we still be able to fight?"
"We are tired, and so is Dai Liang. Compared with ambushing him in Guiling, we may have lost the advantage of the location, but we have the effect of surprise. And it is closer to Guangxin. If the battle situation is unfavorable, we can retreat to Cangwu, and
Shi Kuang will join together so that we won't lose ground in advance or retreat."
Xia Houxuan nodded. He knew that what Wei Ba said made sense. Since it might have been exposed, it would be more dangerous to continue to insist on the ambush plan in Guiling. It would be better to go up to him and catch Dai Liang off guard. Maybe there would be a chance.
After resting for an hour, Wei Ba ordered the march to start again. Although the soldiers were tired, no one questioned Wei Ba's order. At dawn, they arrived near Dai Liang's camp. In the faint morning light, Wei Ba observed
After checking the camp, he ordered the prime minister to immediately lead his troops to attack.
"Destroy them and then have breakfast." Wei Ba said to the soldiers.
The husband promised with a bang, led two thousand soldiers, raised their torches, drew their swords, and rushed towards the camp at the foot of the mountain. In an instant, the sound of killing broke out, and the roar shook the sky, breaking the tranquility before dawn.
Wu Jun's scouts were very tired. Although they were ordered to inquire about the news, they were lazy at night. It was normal to find a place to sleep. Dai Liang's mission was to inquire about the situation near Guiling. No one thought that Wei Ba would abandon Guiling.
Taking advantage of the great terrain of the ridge, they rushed to their camp to invite an attack. By the time they realized something was wrong, the charge had already begun.
The soldiers at the front almost rushed to the front of the camp together with Wu Jun's scouts.
Bai Jian rushed to the front with his strong crossbow battalion. When he was still fifty steps away from the main camp, he sternly ordered: "Shoot!"
Two hundred crossbowmen raised their repeating crossbows and fired the crossbow machine. Hundreds of crossbow arrows broke through the darkness and flew towards the Wu Army camp. The Wu Army soldiers on the watchtower of the camp were shot by sharp arrows before they could react.
, screaming and falling to the ground.
"Kill!" Five hundred Wuhu barbarian forwards rushed to the camp gate, brandished their machetes, chopped open the camp gate, and rushed in. Wu Jungen was unprepared. He looked at the torches all over the mountains and fields, and heard the roar of the earth shaking.
Knowing how many enemies there are, he is panic-stricken and his liver and gallbladder are split.
Dai Liang suddenly sat up, sweating. He had a nightmare. He dreamed that Wei Ba came to him. The two fought, but he was no match for Wei Ba. He was decapitated by Wei Ba with a knife.
He was rolling on the ground, but he was not dead. He could even hear Wei Ba's ferocious smile clearly and see Wei Ba's ferocious face. Although he woke up, he was still terrified.
Fortunately, it was just a dream. Dai Liang looked at the tents around him and comforted himself. But he immediately realized something was wrong. The voice was so real, not like a dream at all. What was going on? He stood up as best he could and stretched out his hand.
Go get the sword next to it.
"Sir, the enemy is attacking!" A personal guard rushed in, looking frightened.
Dai Liang didn't dare to be careless. He didn't have time to put on his armor, grabbed his sword and rushed out of the tent. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he was stunned by what he saw. There were fires everywhere, enemies everywhere, and enemies everywhere.
It was the roar of the barbarians, and the camp had turned into a sea of fire. The bright sword light flashed in the firelight, like stars in the sky. Every time it flashed, it brought a burst of screams.
Dai Liang was stunned. He knew that he was not dreaming, but he would rather believe that it was just a nightmare.
Wei Ba stood on the hillside, looking at the soldiers who had rushed into Wu Jun's camp. Looking at Wu Jun's camp that was already on fire, he couldn't feel any relief. Wu Jun had no defense at all, and he easily broke into the camp.
His adventure was successful again. When everyone thought Guiling was the best place for an ambush, he proved that his decision was correct.
However, he did not dare to relax a little because of this. Five thousand people attacked a camp of 10,000 people. If he could not defeat the opponent immediately and give the opponent time to breathe and organize a counterattack, the advantage would be completely lost.
Wu Jun rested all night, but he marched all night. He did not have an advantage in terms of physical strength, and was absolutely disadvantaged in terms of numbers. The danger has not decreased, but will increase as time goes by. Once the two sides are in a stalemate, the other party will
The numerical advantage will become apparent, and one's own side will fall into a bitter battle and will most likely be reversed.
Wei Ba's face was solemn, and he stared at Wu Jun's camp. The guard camp stood quietly behind him, waiting for the order to attack.
Xia Houxuan's face turned pale. Although he had not experienced the battle personally, he could still understand the current crisis. He wished that Wei Ba would send two thousand of the most elite guards down now and decide to fight in one fell swoop. The longer he waited, the more dangerous it would be.
The bigger it is.
But Wei Ba remained unmoved. He looked down the mountain quietly, like a lurking cheetah, patiently waiting for the opportunity to attack.
…
Dai Liang climbed onto the command platform and looked far into the distance. The camp was in chaos, with countless people fighting together. It was not easy to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. However, he had been fighting for many years and had rich experience, so he could still tell the difference.
The enemy's location and approximate number. His tense heart relaxed. Although the enemy came suddenly, their number was not large. At a rough look, it was about two to three thousand people. It was possible to make a surprise attack with this small number of people.
Trying to defeat him completely is tantamount to wishful thinking.
After learning the details of the opponent, Dai Liang relaxed and commanded his troops to counterattack in an orderly manner. He ordered the front army to retreat slowly, let the enemy in, and the most powerful Chinese army to block it, and then outflank it by the two battalions on the left and right.
.Cut off the enemy's retreat and kill them all in the camp. Judging from the equipment of these people, these people are not ordinary barbarians, nor are they members of Shikuang's organization. They are probably Wei Ba's subordinates.
Maybe Wei Baren is among them. If he can be killed here, not only can he get revenge, but he can also end the war early.
The powerful drums sounded, and the Wu army gradually stabilized its position. The front army that was attacked first received the order and slowly retreated. The Chinese army was ready, and the two battalions on the left and right rushed out of the camp and ran forward, preparing to surround the enemy in front.
In the main camp of the army, they were completely annihilated.
Wei Ba looked at the activities in the camp and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. Dai Liang was indeed a strong general who had followed Lu Dai for many years. Even if he encountered a sudden attack, there was no chaos. Instead, he quickly stabilized the situation and launched a counterattack.
Judging from his tactics, he was not satisfied with holding the camp. Not only did he want to defeat the incoming enemy, he also wanted to take advantage of his large numbers and devour the enemy in one go. Such a powerful strategy is rare.
But his style is very similar to Lu Dai's.
Lu Dai would rather die in battle than retreat when the situation was unfavorable. Chen Shi dared to pursue the Xuefeng Mountain camp when it was destroyed, and now Dai Liang can launch a counterattack after being attacked. This is the same style.
A general is often the soul of an army, and his character is the character of the army. Although Lu Dai is ruthless, dishonest, and has bad moral character, he has his own uniqueness in commanding operations. He
It is not unreasonable to come to finally pacify Jiaozhou.
"Ziyu, take action quickly, otherwise it will be too late." Xia Houxuan shouted anxiously.
"There is no point in attacking before the time comes." Wei Ba said calmly. He raised his hand and ordered the troops to withdraw with gold.
The crisp gongs passed through the powerful drums and reached the ears of every soldier. The barbarians who were fighting in the camp could not see the situation around them. They only saw the retreating Wu army. They thought the battle was going well, but suddenly they heard the sound of gold ringing.
They were very puzzled by the sound. However, they also knew that the number of enemies far exceeded their own. If they disobeyed orders and rashly went deep, they would likely encounter danger. In the face of life and death, they did not hesitate and immediately retreated.
Seeing the enemy retreating, Dai Liang sneered and ordered the Chinese army to attack to hold off the enemy and buy time for the two battalions on the left and right. The drums sounded, and the Chinese army, which was waiting in full formation, began to pursue forward. In this way, the Chinese army appeared much weaker.
Dai Liang didn't care. In his opinion, even if there were enemies hiding in the darkness - which was almost certain, the sound of war drums was on the hillside in the distance - preparing for a surprise attack, the number would not be too large.
The Chinese army still has more than 3,000 people, which is enough to cope with any situation. He has enough time to make adjustments.
Seeing the changes in the enemy's center, Wei Ba raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He smiled at Xia Houxuan: "Now is the time to attack."
Xia Houxuan's eyes widened and he looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance. He didn't see any changes. He didn't know where the opportunity Wei Ba mentioned was. But he believed in Wei Ba's eyesight and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wei Ba raised his hand: "Order the prime minister to counterattack! The guard battalion is ready to attack, directly attack the Chinese army, and kill Dai Liang!"
The mighty war drums sounded again, and Xiangfu commanded the retreating barbarians to turn around and fight again, fighting together with the chasing Wu army. Seeing this, Wu Jun rushed forward without hesitation, and the Wu army that had just retreated turned around and rushed over, killing Xiang.
My husband and more than two thousand people gathered around.
They screamed loudly at each other, waved their swords, and chopped three people in a row. "Counterattack! Counterattack! Keep the formation, don't mess up!"
The barbarians were a little nervous. Although they often fought, they rarely encountered such large-scale battles. In the past battles with the Wu army, they were often able to win if it was a small-scale battle, but with thousands of people
Fighting with a large army, they were basically defeated. It was not that they were not brave, but because they were accustomed to fighting alone and could not resist the Wu army's neat formation. In a war, personal bravery alone cannot solve the problem, so
When a large-scale battle occurs, once the enemy's position cannot be defeated quickly, they will panic, become confused, and flee. Now that the enemy is surrounding them from all directions, they may be completely wiped out, even if the prime minister is trying his best to boost morale.
Reminding them that the God General was watching them from the mountain, they could not restrain the fear in their hearts, and some people had already begun to run away.
Looking at the enemy army that was about to collapse, Dai Liang curled his lips, dismissed it, and ordered the Chinese army to move forward and be sure to kill all the enemies.
At the same time as Dai Liang gave the order, a battalion of two thousand guards led by a hundred soldiers rushed down the hillside. Wang Shuang roared angrily, brandished his sword, and charged into the Wu army's left camp position.
