Da Wei Chun

Chapter 482 I don't know how to cry

It was night, and the sky suddenly became overcast.Not a single star could be seen in the night sky, as if the sky was covered with a black cloth.

The surrounding fields are gloomy, cold and gloomy, like a monster with a black hole in its mouth.

Turn off the lights and light up, it's extremely dense.But I always feel that the light seems to be swallowed by the night, and I can't feel much light at all.

A felt blanket was spread on the stone platform under the closed door, and Dou Ling sat in the open air like this, staring at the east with cold eyes.

A battalion of wolf guards, and a battalion of fine cavalry, just return home like this?

Not only did he fail to find out the reality of the Han army, but in just a short while, more than [-] of a thousand fine horses were lost?
But who would have expected that a group of tiger cavalry would suddenly appear?
Hehe... Could it be that it fell from the world?
If you are more cautious, you should retreat at this time, at most, you will return without success.But Dou Ling always felt that he couldn't swallow this breath.

Didn't take advantage of the cheap, but suffered a small loss?

Furthermore, he had already concluded in his heart that the Han army must not have many troops.Otherwise, he would have taken advantage of the victory to pursue it, not as strange as it is today:
Obviously they have won a great victory, they only need to let the front army take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and Yuchi's front line can be forced back.If you're lucky, it's not impossible to kill them.

But the Han general remained indifferent and let himself go, watching Yuchi's broken cavalry escape back?

Then why did the former Han army have to work so hard when they fought in the first day of junior high school?

There is only one possibility to explain: the Han army is strong outside but capable in the middle, so it can only be deterred first, so that it can be used to avoid rats.And the Han generals did not dare to reveal their strength prematurely, so they could only deliberately delay, waiting for follow-up reinforcements...

There was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and a general Hu hurried over and whispered in Dou Ling's ear:
"Lu Shixuan said: Yuan Yi did bring hundreds of armored guards with him when he went north, but he didn't know whether it was a tiger rider, and Lu Yan didn't mention it emphatically in his letter. But he also said: Even if it was a tiger rider, He also wears iron armor on weekdays. If he hadn't declared his family name, Lu Yan would definitely not have recognized him..."

"So, even the real Tiger Cavalry, there is only one brigade?"

General Hu nodded and said, "Lu Shikui thinks so too!"

This is also consistent with Dou Ling's deduction: Huqi is far away in Luoyang, which is two thousand miles away from here.Even if they rode lightly on fast horses and traveled day and night, it would take at least ten days to get to the foot of Wolf Mountain.

And ten days ago, Lu Yan had just launched it, and captured Yuan Yi with lightning speed.May I ask where the Tiger Rider was at that time?
Even if Lu Yan's plan leaked the news, it's impossible for the news to grow wings and fly to Luoyang overnight, right?
Therefore, the tiger riders that Wuyin encountered today must be the guards from Yuanyi to Beizhen, and they are only five hundred at most!

Dou Ling felt a little relieved, then turned his head and reached out to pick up something.

It was a burnt-out rocket, and the barrel was empty, exuding only a faint smell of gunpowder.

Dou Ling put it under his nose and smelled it, his eyes moved: Shi Liuhuang?
There is such a thing on the north slope of Wolf Mountain. Although it is rare, it is not a rare thing.If Hu people encounter it by chance while grazing, they will scrape it off the stone with a knife to stop bleeding and relieve pain.

Of course, anyone with a little knowledge knows that this thing is flammable, but because the Hu people are extremely short of medicines, naturally no one is extravagant enough to use stone yellow to start a fire.

And it was such an inconspicuous thing that scared the left wing and fled without a fight?
"Hehehe..."

Dou Ling smiled, but his voice was as cold as ice: "It's this thing, and you are so scared that you will be defeated and have no fighting spirit?"

The commander-in-chief gave a sudden shock, and knocked his head heavily on the stone ground.When he raised his head, his face was already covered with blood:
"My... my lord, it's not that I'm timid to fight, but... it's that the horses are shocked when they see this thing, and they are completely out of the control of the knights... I am afraid that the whole army will be destroyed, so I ordered the withdrawal..."

What a sharp mouth, to speak so grandly of fleeing without fighting?
If he is let go, how can he comfort Yu Yin who fought to the last moment?

Dou Ling waved his hand coldly: "Pull it down and cut it up. The flesh and blood are chopped into paste, the bones are mashed up, and mixed with fodder to feed the horses... All members of the family are assigned to be slaves in the Wuyinbu..."

"My lord... forgive me..."

Without even yelling for mercy, Dou led several wolf guards out of his body like a sidewind, and kicked the brigade commander to the ground with a kick on the head.

After three or two more strokes, it was tied like a zongzi, and several people worked together to lift it down.

"All the soldiers who died in the war with the house were given two horses, two cows, and twenty sheep... Ordered two sons of the house to be recruited into the wolf guards, and the rest of the survivors were recorded in the upper camp..."

"Yes!"

The tribal Han officials beside him responded and quickly wrote it down on paper.

Those who should be killed have already been killed, and those who should be rewarded have already been rewarded.Dou Ling was speechless, grabbed a sheep and roasted it on the fire.

Not long after, the leg of lamb was roasted and sizzled with oil, and an aroma permeated it, causing the guards behind to swallow their saliva one by one.

The wind gradually picked up at the foot of the mountain, and it became colder and colder outside the pass.Dou Ling still sat firmly like a clock, slowly and methodically peeling the mutton.

He is waiting for news, waiting for news about the strength of the Han army, whether it is true or not.

Dou Ling thought from the beginning to the end that no matter how capable the Han generals were, no matter how fast the Han army scouts were, it would be absolutely impossible to seal off all of Langshan, which is about a thousand miles long.

Unless the Han army has tens of thousands, and all of them are placed on Langshan.

Therefore, seeing the Han army suddenly approaching Dacheng County last night, Dou Ling was ahead of the enemy and sent several scouts out from Langshan.

I didn't think about it, did it really come in handy?

It's also strange that the captain lost a brigade of fine cavalry, but he hasn't found out the reality of the Han army?
Until a sheep retreated and was eaten by Dou Ling, finally the news came.

A team of fast horses came from the south. As soon as Fang approached the pass, he was led to Dou Ling by the surrounding guards.

Looking at his travels and dust, it is obvious that he has spared a lot of distance.

"Where did you find it?"

"Lord Bing, my subordinates have approached about thirty miles west of Wuyuan County..."

Wuyuan County is nearly three hundred miles away, how far has it traveled?
No wonder there was no news for two full days?

It seems that the traces of the Han army's journey must have been investigated, and the geometry of its soldiers and horses can be roughly calculated.

"Is there any gain?"

"Have!"

General Hu nodded vigorously, "My subordinates have found out that the Han army's strength is at most six thousand. It's just because they came from Woye in a hurry, so most of them are on two horses, and there is even one on three horses. Therefore, the formation is extremely huge..."

Dou Ling's pupils shrank slightly: "Why is it so clear?"

Don't blame him for being suspicious.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are no boundaries.Even if you count them one by one close to the front of the formation, it is impossible to count them so clearly.

It's because you can only see the outer edge of the array, but you can't see whether the array is empty or solid.

Unless you go deep into the enemy's line and investigate camp by camp...

Hu Jiang bared his teeth with a smile: "As close to Wuyuan, my subordinates came across a small number of Shule herdsmen who fled to the county seat, forced them to find out their origins, and killed them all. Then ordered a dozen subordinates to pretend to be halfway When he was robbed, he mixed into another small department and entered Wuyuan County...

Afterwards, several investigations were carried out, and a county official was kidnapped for interrogation, claiming that the county magistrate ordered the county officials to collect food, which was to prepare for the needs of six thousand soldiers for three days..."

Dou Ling was overjoyed, stood up abruptly, and patted General Hu on the shoulder twice: "God helped me... so good..."

With Lu Yan as an internal thief, Dou Ling knows the military situation of the three towns of Woye, Huaishuo, and Wuchuan like the palm of his hand.

Except for the garrisons at each pass, most of the defenders in the three towns are only a few thousand, with as few as four or five thousand, and as many as seven or eight thousand.

Among them, more than [-]% are infantry, and only [-]% of cavalry are at most.

Therefore, the [-] cavalry had done what Luo Jian could do to remove all the cavalry in Xisan Town.

And the rest are only infantry. It will take five or six days at the fastest when Luo Jian summons all the soldiers, collects enough food and grass, and then stops under the Wolf Mountain.

For five or six days, how many things can't be done as long as these six thousand Han cavalry are imprisoned to the pass?
The more Dou Ling thought about it, the more excited he became, he laughed loudly and said, "Remember one of your great achievements, I will definitely reward you later...

General Hu responded repeatedly, and was led by his personal guards to rest inside the pass.

After he left, Dou Ling circled the felt blanket, seeming very excited.

The Han army only has six thousand soldiers, so what if they are all elite cavalry?
Forgive me for knowing what I want to do, but you never dare to divide your troops...

"My lord, since it is known that Wuyuan will definitely transport grain to Dacheng, why don't we cut off the road?"

"What's the use? Even if Wuyuan is cut off, there is still enough food for great success. Moreover, the Han army has at least two horses. Killing one horse is enough to feed for fifty days. And the Han army has six thousand horses in reserve. I can't finish it for two months!"

Dou Ling sneered, "Furthermore, did I wait here to fight the Han army?"

All the generals were suddenly startled, as if enlightened.

That's right, why go head-to-head with the Han army?

Seeing that Dou Ling's brows were beaming with joy, Wu Luohou, the leader of Fuli Army, immediately knew that Dou Ling had been moved by Lu Shikui's words in the morning.

He tentatively said cautiously: "My lord, why don't you follow Lu Shikui's words and divide up the troops to protect him from going south overnight..."

as predicted!

Hearing this sentence, a gleam flashed in Dou Ling's eyes: "Don't worry, just wait..."

The wind is getting stronger and the weather is getting colder.Relying on the fire can no longer withstand the wind and cold.Dou Ling ordered his guards to set up tents on the spot.

Waiting for another hour.

Another group of scouts came back to the camp, but this time they came from the north, so they should have turned over from the wolf mountain.

"My lord, at night, all the Han troops withdrew to the city. By nightfall, all the soldiers and horses had entered the city, and the city gates were tightly closed. There were many lights on the city, so more guards should have been sent!"

Haha... The Han army really doesn't have many troops, and they sent troops in a hurry?

If it weren't for the tents of the soldiers, the fences for camping, and the sufficient supplies of chariots, why would they need to enter the city?

Just because there was no cover, the Han general was afraid that he would steal the camp in the middle of the night, so he didn't dare to let the army stay outside the city...

Dou Ling turned around the felt blanket again, clenching his fists as he walked.

After spinning more than ten times, he slammed his left fist into his right palm, making a crisp sound.

"Call Lu Shikuang to come..."

……

Li Chengzhi sat on the bench with a big horse and a golden sword, holding a bowl of mutton noodles, which was so thin and sweet.

Dacheng County Magistrate looked at him blankly as if he was dumbfounded.

The magistrate of the first rank and the governor of the four prefectures eat this?

Meat is not absent: there are pork legs, lamb chops, and fat chicken on the table.The county magistrate of Dacheng also deliberately killed a cow, but for some reason, Li Chengzhi didn't move a chopstick.

Looking at Yang Jun, Yuan Zhi, and the army leaders, it seems that they have already seen the strange things.He just gnawed on the bone in his hand and let the coach Li Chengzhi eat noodles.

"Marshal, urgent report from Wuyuan!"

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a loud roar from outside the hall.

Hearing Li Liang's answer, Yuan Qiao rushed into the county office like a storm.

Li Chengzhi raised his head in surprise, and looked at the two soldiers behind Yuan Qiao.

What urgent report can Wuyuan have?

Could it be that Dou Ling secretly divided his troops and captured Wuyuan County?

impossible!
Du Lun's troops are full of cavalry, not even a log, not even a ladder. Could it be that they broke through the city wall on horseback?
Unless Li Yanqing, the county magistrate of Wuyuan, has already surrendered and Hu Bing is let in by the gate of Dakai City...

He put down the bowl and chopsticks, and replied softly: "Speak!"

"About noon, a herdsman who fled suddenly came to report that dozens of corpses were found in a mountain [-] miles west of Yucheng... Li Changshi (Li Shenjun) and the county magistrate Li checked in person, guessing it should be Was killed by a creep ride yesterday...

Li Changshi immediately concluded that the enemy bandit should have sneaked into the city pretending to be his identity... Li County magistrate conducted a thorough investigation throughout the city. He was tortured..."

The hearts of the generals thumped: Has the strength of the troops been exposed?

Before dispatching troops, Luo Jian sent urgent orders to the counties north of the town, ordering them to prepare food and grass for Li Chengzhi.

All counties are bound to move, and Wuyuan is no exception.

Although it is unlikely that Li Yanqing will disclose the size of the army and their origins to the public, the officials in the county can guess the size of the army based on the amount of food they have prepared...

From Yang Jun down, the faces of all the generals were not very good-looking.

After all the calculations, it didn't count that Dou Ling's secret work would be so far away, to Wuyuan, which is more than 200 miles away from Jinhaoguan?
Li Chengzhi didn't panic at all.

"Wo Ye has a radius of nearly a thousand miles, how vast is it? Naturally, it is impossible to completely seal off all places. If Dou Ling is determined to investigate, it will be a matter of time before the troops are exposed!"

Yang Jun was really surprised: "Aren't you worried?"

Li Chengzhi asked back: "What is there to worry about?"

"If you change places, I, as the leader of the sinus, will definitely divide the army: either intercept your food road, or attack your rear..."

"Ha ha?"

Li Chengzhi laughed out loud, "You are the leader of Dou and you are here to fight with us?"

Yang Jun froze for a moment, his face blushed uncontrollably.

Yuan Zhi and the others immediately reacted: Du Lun's troops were invited by Lu Yan to rob, and they would fight the Han army only if they lost their minds?

"Now that we know our army's reality, how will Dou Ling respond?"

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while: "No accident, it should be possible to divide the troops!"

Yang Jun's eyeballs almost popped out: "What's the difference between your division of troops and mine?"

"Don't worry!"

Li Chengzhi took the noodle bowl and asked Li Liang to bring a map and lay it on the table, pointing to the open space south of Jinhao Pass: "What is this place?"

Gao Queshu, isn't it written?

Hmm... no?
The garrison master of Gaoque is Lu Yan's younger brother, and he has long been in collusion with Du Lun's tribe...

"He wants to snatch Linhe?"

"It's not just Linhe, there are also Sanfeng, and even Gaoque guards the city of Linrong!"

Yang Jun sighed sadly: "But even if you guessed Dou Ling's intention, what do you and I do?"

The incident happened in a hurry, and it was too late for Luo Jian to deploy troops to take precautions.Moreover, most of Yuliu's troops were infantry, and without three or even four times as many soldiers, they would not be able to stop Dou Ling's Qing cavalry at all.

"It's not all useless..."

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while, and shouted in a deep voice, "Da Li, send a quick horse and send a message to Governor Luo, asking him to send more troops to Jiluguan as soon as possible... Even if he takes human life, he will guard Jiluguan to death... "

"Why bother?"

Yang Jun was puzzled, "Gao Que and Jin Hao are in the hands of Dou Ling. How many soldiers can't escape the river valley nearly half a mile wide?"

Li Chengzhi didn't argue, just smiled.

Who said it was superfluous?
More than [-] days ago, before the army set out from Luoyang, he ordered Li Song's whole army to advance eastward, and it reached Bigan City (Langshan Pass) ten days ago.

Dou Ling can't pinch and count, how could he expect that the way back is broken?
Just let you be proud for two days, wait for Luo Jian to block the chicken and deer, and then Li Song will take Gao Que, I will make you cry even if you don’t know how to cry...
