Da Wei Chun

Chapter 478 Exploration ([-])

"My lord, the Han army has left Dacheng County, coming from east to west!"

"How many soldiers and horses, how many cars to drive!"

"There are no chariots, and they are all cavalry. There are [-] horses alone. Therefore, it looks like a huge formation, but there are also a lot of empty horses. Many cavalry are riding three horses. And people wear armor, The horses are covered with hemp felt, the swords and guns are very sharp, they look like yellow dragons..."

People wear armor, and horses wear linen felt?
Horses are easy to deal with. Fifteen thousand horses sound like a lot, but most of them in Beizhen are Hu tribes that belonged to the Yuan Wei Dynasty.

But where did the soldiers come from?

If it weren't for the elite cavalry of the town army, not to mention all the armor, even the uniforms of the soldiers could not be unified!

So far, Dou Ling is no longer lucky, and has even guessed the origin of this cavalry: nine out of ten, it is the Huaishuo Town Army.

It should be that Lu Yan did not act confidentially and accidentally leaked information, so the incident happened.After Luo Jian got the news, he only pretended to be ignorant on the bright side, but he hurriedly summoned troops in secret.Taking advantage of Lu Yan's unpreparedness, he made a sudden attack, took Woye first, and then rushed to Jinhao Pass...

Otherwise, in just one or two days, Luo Jian would not be able to gather five thousand elite cavalry. How could he lead all the defenders of Huaishuo Town to Woye?
The more Dou Ling thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his intestines were about to turn green.

If he had known this earlier, he should not have waited for two days in vain. Instead, as soon as he entered Gaoque Pass, he should divide his troops and go straight to Woye's heart.When Luo Jian gathers the army and rushes to the Jinhao Pass, he can grab some more or less.

But now, neither advancing nor retreating, is it embarrassing?

If they go in, there are only two ways: one is to go all out and defeat the five thousand town army, and then the soldiers will advance like the wind, and when Luo Jian's follow-up infantry arrives, they can grab as much as they can.

The second is to cut off like a stream and withdraw troops immediately.

But what about the tribe?
Even as a tribal leader, it is impossible to summon the tribes to come, and to wave away.If he returns without success, he, the leader of the tribe, must subsidize the expenses of eating horse chews and other expenses along the way.

Moreover, in the past half month, it has been conscription and horse gathering, which can be said to be a labor of life and money.When I return to the clan, there will be complaints and mourning everywhere.At that time, my two younger brothers who are watching tigers and wolves will definitely attack.

I'm so unhappy...

"Master Dou Ling!"

Lu Shikui called out in a deep voice, and urged the horse to lean up.

As soon as he saw this face that was six to seven points similar to Lu Yanzu, Dou Ling felt angry and wanted to pull out his knife immediately and split it in half.

If it wasn't for the Lu brothers' indiscretion, how could I be in a dilemma at this time?

But it can't be killed for the time being, at least it depends on the two thousand Han troops under Lu Shikui's command to guard the pass...

Dou Ling let out a sigh of relief: "Speak!"

"I know that my lord is in a difficult situation for a while, and I'm afraid that I will fall into Luo Jian's trick to lure the enemy. But in Lu's opinion, my lord can rest assured!"

Lu Shikui pointed to the Jinhao Pass behind him, "If Luo Jian had already prepared and had enough troops, why would he need to lure the enemy into it? Just take the two passes of Gaoque and Jinhao, and you will be able to trap your lord." Died in this Jinhao River Valley.

Therefore, Lu thought that Luo Jian was just bluffing, and there were only five thousand soldiers for the time being.The reason why he went straight to Dacheng County was nothing more than to make the adults be wary, thinking that he had a good army and a lot of food.If your lord hesitates or retreats, you have really fallen into Luo Jian's trick..."

You can think of it when I can't?
Although there are only [-] Luo Jian soldiers at present, they are all cavalry, but they come and go like the wind, and it is impossible to gather and wipe them out.How do you let me grab it, and how can you take it away smoothly?
And as long as there is a war, people will die.If the five thousand town troops put all their eggs in one basket and fought bravely without fear of death, the Du Lun tribe would surely suffer a lot of casualties.If there are too few robbed at that time, wouldn't it be that he lost his wife and lost his army?
Dou Ling stared at Lu Shikui coldly: "What is Lu Shijun's plan?"

"It's not a high plan!"

Lu Shikui smiled slightly, and pointed to the east, "With Lu's cronies guarding the gate, my lord has a great advantage in terms of land, and can protect Du Lun's troops from any worries. I'm [-]% sure, and my lord will keep another five thousand at most." The soldiers and horses are restrained under the pass, so that Luo Jian will not dare to move lightly."

"Leave five thousand in the Guanxia prison... what about the remaining five thousand?"

"Since I followed Lu to the south: there are nearly [-] households in Gaoque Garrison, and millions of cattle and sheep. Isn't that enough for adults to grab?"

Dou Ling's eyes lit up.

It is not impossible to seize the Gaoque garrison.

Indeed, as Lu Shikui said, if Luo Jian had enough troops, why would he need to lure the enemy in?

It can be seen from this that the trip of the five thousand town troops must have come hastily.Although there are many soldiers recruited by Luo Jian in the follow-up, they will definitely all go north and go straight to Jinhao.Therefore, Linhe and other counties south of Jinhaoguan must be empty.

With the two gates in hand, and with another five thousand Chen Bing in the gate, the Woye Town Army can be blocked to the south of the mountain.The remaining [-] people naturally drove straight to the three counties of Linhe.

And Lu Shikui, the garrison lord, led the way to knock the city, which can be said to be familiar with the road.At least there is no need to take detours, let alone try your luck from county to county to find out where there are more cattle and sheep.

Wait for three to five days, and before the reinforcements from the Han army arrive, let five thousand soldiers go northward first, transport away the goods, drive away Dingkou, cattle and sheep.After the remaining [-] breaks, slowly leave the customs.Forgive the Han army for not daring to pursue...

The idea is a good one, but Lu Shikui is in danger, how can he be so kind?
Dou Ling's heart moved: "Is Lu Shijun going to flee south? But he was afraid of encountering a strong enemy halfway, so he proposed this plan, and wanted Dou to protect you on the road?"

"To tell you the truth, my lord, Lu really intends to go south. But why don't you worry about your lord, lest you come here in vain?"

When his mind was exposed, Lu Shikui was not panicked, but Shi Shiran said, "Please rest assured, my lord, Lu only brought three hundred cronies, and the remaining two battalions of Han troops will be sent to my lord to guard the pass. When my lord returns with a full load , and they can be dispatched or dismissed, or brought back to the north of the mountain. Isn’t it wonderful that your lord has gained two thousand strong soldiers for nothing?”

Dou Ling sneered and said, "Emissary Lu is very calculating? If you leave, will the two thousand Han soldiers willingly listen to Dou's emissary? But when Luo Jian arrives, is there any guarantee that he won't turn against him?"

Lu Shikui sighed sadly: "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. It depends on whether you are willing to part with the goods?"

Easy to say?

So far, I haven't even snatched a cow's hair, so what reward do I get?

This dog thief is a full man who doesn't know a hungry man, and he has made it clear that he doesn't want to wait here, and is ready to flee south.

Dou Ling secretly hated, but there was nothing he could do!
If he stops Lu Shikui from leaving, the thief will definitely encourage the defenders to be shut down, and even if they don't turn back immediately, the morale of the defenders will drop drastically.He didn't even dare to leak the news that Lu Shikui wanted to leave the defenders and flee south alone.

Otherwise, the two thousand Han troops would have escaped immediately.

But if the clan soldiers are allowed to guard the city... it is like an eagle cutting its wings and a wolf pulling out its sharp teeth.

Dou Ling gritted his teeth, and suddenly put on a smiling face: "My Dulun tribe has tens of millions of cattle and sheep, and some money, Dou is willing to give up. But even if the troops are divided, it is necessary to find out how many enemies are coming. , so please make me calm down and don’t get bored. If it’s true, the town army only has four or five thousand soldiers, so what if Dou protects you for a while?”

Lu Shikui pondered for a while, then clasped his fists again: "Then Lu will wait for the good news!"

After all, Lu Shikui rode his horse to the pass again, probably to summon troops to gather food and pack his bags.

Dou Ling's eyes turned cold, and he confessed to his cronies in a low voice: "Watch this thief closely, and be careful that he escapes alone!"

The confidant nodded vigorously and followed closely...

……

About half an hour later, the scouts came to report again.

"My lord, the Han army is stationed twenty miles away. All the soldiers have dismounted and fed and watered the horses. But the army's appearance is acceptable, and the formation has not been disturbed..."

Twenty miles?
Kankan is in the middle of Dacheng County and Jinhao Pass, and the attack is only [-] miles, and the retreat is only [-] miles?

Should the Han army fight or not?

Dou Ling frowned: "Have the scouts checked back to see if there are any reinforcements from the Han army?"

"The Han army's cavalry is very scattered, and there are scouts in front of the army, five miles to the left and right. And the communication is very fast, but when the whistle is heard, the Han army scouts will come out of the forest like a frightened bird. If I am not careful, I will We were surrounded and wiped out, so General Yuchi strictly ordered me not to go deep..."

Don't even dare to go deep, how to find out the enemy's military situation, how to fight this battle?
Yuchi confused?
"Only four or five thousand Han troops scare Yuchi's guts to pieces?"

A hint of anger appeared on Dou Ling's face, "Pass my military order and order Yuchi to send a brigade to the left and right, and go ahead to explore. If one brigade is not enough, send another brigade! If the Han army dares to divide its troops and pursue it, give it to me." Sound the horn, the whole army will attack..."

Feeling that the cold light in Dou Ling's eyes was real, the messenger was shocked, and hurriedly responded: "Please follow the orders of your lord!"

After ordering the soldiers to go away, Dou Ling shouted coldly: "Qiu Dun!"

A short and stout man responded loudly: "My lord!"

"Rate Fuli (also known as the Wolf Guard, the leader of the tribe and the commander-in-chief of King Khan), call for battle in front of the army. And remember, the truth is false, and the false is true. Don't fight hard!"

"As ordered!"

With the sound of horns a few times, a battalion of armored cavalry leaped out behind Dou Ling.The flag soldier carried a letter flag nearly ten feet long, on which was painted a wolf head with sharp teeth, which was lifelike.

Seeing the wolf guards drifting away, Dou Ling's eyes became more and more serious: "Whether it is advancing or retreating, it's all in one fell swoop..."

…………

Rouran's scouts were as swift as lightning, coming and going like the wind, and the Han army's scouts were not idle, and even one of Ermiao's two or three miles under Jinhao Pass was extremely arrogant.

As soon as Yuchi's former army took action after receiving Dou Ling's military order, a scout came to report to Yang Jun:
"Sima, once the creeping scouts changed their shrinking posture, there were about one brigade on each side, heading east, as if they were going to spy on our army!"

There is a brigade on the left and right, isn't it a thousand, can they still be called scouts?

Yang Jun frowned: "Order the vanguard, General Murong, to send out a brigade on the left and right to stop Hu Qi from approaching our camp. It is still limited to five miles..."

But before he finished speaking, there was another sound of riding report in the distance.

"Sima, the creeping cavalry has suddenly increased its troops. This time, they did not send out their left and right sides. They seem to continue to attack from the front... Do you want to order General Murong to divide his troops to meet the enemy?"

Murong Liang only has [-] soldiers, and if he divides them again, he will completely put my handsome man Yang in front of the battle, and divide them?

The rogue is clearly trying to lure me into dividing up my troops so that I can find out the truth, or even attack Huanglong directly.

As expected, Li Chengzhi guessed correctly, the worm was not only probing, but also probing.

I just can't figure it out, he has never fought against Rouran before, how could he predict so accurately?

Yang Jun sighed secretly, and shouted loudly: "Order Murong Liang, to guard the front line, don't let creeping horses scout horses within two miles of the line. In addition, send a message to the Chinese army, saying that there is an enemy brigade on the left and right. The scouts go east, the commander will deal with it..."

"Order!"

Ling Jun responded urgently, and blew his whistle a few times quickly.The whistle sound can be long or short, just like the singing of swallows and warblers, which is extremely beautiful.

During the march, Yang Jun studied for a few days like cramming, so he still didn't understand the sentry order, half understood.

I couldn't help admiring Li Chengzhi in my heart: Seeing how young he is, why are there so many clever thoughts?
At this time, the distance between the front and rear armies was less than five miles, so the sentry order was sent quickly.In just one word (5 minutes), the order has been sent to Li Chengzhi.

And the two brigades of scouts after Rouran's reinforcements had just run two or three miles away.

"First send out two brigades, each to the left and right, and then send out two brigades to attack from the front... Is Commander Zhu not believing that I still have reinforcements, so he feigns a frontal attack, and the left and right wings want to explore my retreat?"

Yang Jun obviously saw through General Rouran's strategy, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and could only hand over the two wings to himself.

Blocking is definitely going to be blocked, but who will be punched and kicked?
Li Chengzhi scratched his chin and looked up.

He looked at Yuan Qiao and Yuan Yan first, feeling uneasy.

After all, these two, or even the brigade under his command, have never actually fought.

But it is impossible to be a nanny all the time and protect them under their wings, otherwise they will not grow up all their lives...

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while, then stared at Yuan Xuan: "General Yuan, go, lead a brigade of tiger cavalry, and attack from the right. Remember, this trip is not to kill the enemy, just force the crawling cavalry to turn west, don't be poor I can't give up!"

"Order!"

After Yuan Zhi agreed, he realized, "Marshal, where's the left side?"

"Leave the left to Li Da, and lead Yuan Qiao's First Brigade to meet the enemy!"

Li Chengzhi pointed at Yuan Qiao and Yuan Yan again, "Don't be arrogant, watch carefully, study hard!"

These two have long been subdued by Li Chengzhi.I also know that Li Liang seems to be indifferent, like a servant, but he is the former deputy commander of the Baijia Battalion.Therefore, Yuan Qiao and Yuan Yan have already put away their arrogance, how could they be arrogant?

"I will wait and see if Li Canjun leads the way!"

"Ok!"

Li Chengzhi responded, and then told Li Liang, "Remember not to use too much force, but also not to expose the truth of our army!"

As soon as he heard this sentence, Yuan Zhi understood: Li Chengzhi was not sure of victory, so he didn't want to fight too early.But I don't want to scare Du Lun's department away.That's why he confessed to himself and Li Liang in this way.

It is the middle degree, but it is extremely difficult to grasp.Li Liang... No, it should be Yuan Qiao and his subordinates who can't travel?

This brigade was Li Chengzhi's first brigade when he was a tiger general, and now it is Li Chengzhi's commander-in-chief guard, under the control of Li Liang, who joined the army.

It sounds very majestic, but don't forget, including the Marshal Yuan Qiao and below, they are all a bunch of dudes.Not to mention going to the battlefield, more than [-]% of them are going out of Luoyang for the first time.

You won't be crushed by Hu Qi, right?
