Da Wei Chun

Chapter 511 Counterattack
"Jungong, our army is going to retreat today?"

"What if you don't retreat? With the current strength of the West Camp, can you defeat Fuluo's [-] armored cavalry at Bailitan?"

Li Chengzhi didn't expect that Fu Lianchou would be so willing to spend his money?
Thirty thousand armored cavalry, with Tuyuhun's national power, how many are there in total?

Both horses and people are easy to deal with. Where does A come from?

Diao Zheng choked violently, parted his lips, but couldn't speak.

The terrain of Baili Beach is flat, without any advantage to rely on, which is extremely unfavorable for the infantry.But the enemy is all cavalry, which can be said to be like a tiger with wings added.

So it is definitely a must.

But what Diao Zheng didn't expect was that it's not surprising that he retreated, but Li Chengzhi would also retreat, and retreat again and again?

It simply overturned the world's inherent impression of Li Chengzhi.

He thought that Li Chengzhi must have a good chance of winning by rushing over...

After pondering for a while, Diao Zheng asked again: "Dare to ask the county magistrate, how much should we retreat today?"

Li Chengzhi raised two fingers and gestured: "It's still twenty miles!"

Twenty miles?
Diao Zheng's heart beat violently.

Qingshui County is only [-] li away from Longguan. When camping on the western front, [-] li was vacated, and yesterday it retreated another [-] li. That's [-] li.If we retreat another twenty miles today, isn't it ten miles left?

If the width of the formation was slightly narrower when camping, the rear army would have to camp at the foot of Longguan.

Then what will we do tomorrow, we will not abandon Longguan and retreat into Longxian County, right?

And after Longguan, there is Qinchuan thousands of miles away in the Pingchuan wilderness. Once he abandons his defense, wouldn't he let Hu Qi drink his horse to pass?
Now that the enemy's soldiers are strong, it is true that they should temporarily avoid the edge, but even if they do, there should be a limit.At least you can't just retreat without fighting a single battle.Otherwise, the morale is getting lower and lower day by day, what is the morale of the army?

Diao Zheng has no doubts at all, if he really abandons Longguan and allows Hu Qi to enter Qin, he will be defeated like water and vent thousands of miles...

He glanced at Li Chengzhi's face, and tentatively said cautiously: "If Fuluo is still pressing every step of the way tomorrow, how should we deal with it?"

Li Chengzhi was drawing something on the paper, when he heard this, he stopped his pen, raised his head and looked at Diao Zheng very seriously:

"General Diao is afraid that I will abandon Longguan, right? Don't worry, no matter how ignorant Li is, he will not commit such a suicide act. General, you can rest assured, I am just luring the enemy to go deep..."

Lure the enemy to go deep?

Baili Beach is so wide, even if you lure Fu Luo in, where can you go to ambush?

He was still puzzled, but fortunately he got Li Chengzhi's accurate words of "never abandon Longguan", which made Diao Zheng feel more at ease.

After bowing respectfully, he went to deliver the order.

"Mr. Lang, will retreating like this for two days in a row will destroy morale? I'm afraid the soldiers will not be able to last long in the hard battle tomorrow..."

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Li Chengzhi picked up the charcoal again, and shook his head while drawing: "Morale is like water in the skin. As long as it doesn't break, he will still have the same amount. If you squeeze hard, he will have more strength when he rebounds." .So just waiting for a small victory tomorrow, the soldiers who have been suppressed for two days will surely be like a rainbow..."

With Li Chengzhi's explanation in this way, Li Liang naturally wouldn't doubt it, so he immediately relaxed and waited for Li Chengzhi to finish drawing the picture with peace of mind.

It was very quiet in the tent, only the rustling sound of the tip of the pen falling on the paper.

After a while, Li Chengzhi asked again abruptly: "How many rockets can we prepare until tomorrow?"

Li Liang quickly replied: "There should be more than 30!"

30, divided among the [-] Huqitou, each person should have at least ten... It should be enough.

"Where's the kerosene?"

"It's been brewing for days, and when the war starts tomorrow, it should be more than [-] catties."

In fact, it is open-air oil. This thing first appeared in Yan'an generation, and it belongs to Yanchang County. It has the most, and a lake can catch fire at every turn.

Li Daoyuan, who is now the Sima of the Right Army, also recorded in the Notes of the Water Classics: Gaonu County (that is, Yanchang County, which belongs to Jinming County, Xiazhou) has water, and the fertilizer is combustible.There is fertilizer in the water, you can pick it up and use it...

With such a good thing and so convenient, how could Li Chengzhi not know how to use it for war.So as soon as the spring thawed, he asked Gao Meng, the governor of Xiazhou, to send people to dig in Gaonu County.

But it can't be used just by digging it out, it still needs to be tempered.That is to filter out the sediment and evaporate the water.

Although refined in this way, it is not as good as the gasoline and diesel oil of later generations, but it is enough for setting fire.

Everything is ready, except for the explosives!
"Send fast horses and hurry up Chengxue: the explosives must be delivered to the West Day Camp by night at the latest. You and Li Song work hard and distribute them overnight. Well, pay attention to fire prevention..."

Li Liang responded repeatedly, and seeing Li Chengzhi put down his pen, he handed him another blueprint: "Tomorrow, when Yuan Zhi and I drive Hu Qi to the south wing, you and Li Song will lay mines accordingly..."

Just glanced at it, and Li Liang was refreshed.

The painting is too detailed, and every hill, every lake, and even every square field is marked.

And it's extremely three-dimensional, but if you add some color, it's like being there?
"What are you doing in a daze?"

Li Chengzhi waved his hand, "Hurry up and make arrangements!"

Seeing Li Liang's admiring eyes, Li Chengzhi secretly sighed: Unexpectedly, this is the man's old profession.

There is not enough time, and there is no material at hand, otherwise he would like to make a sand table.

Li Liang bowed his head in response, carefully folded the drawing, put it in a leather envelope, and put it in his arms.

……

It was afternoon, the sun was warming, and a group of war horses gathered around the hill, nibbling short grass shoots.

Fu Luo stood on the top of the hill, chewing the jerky leisurely.It seemed too hard, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the lieutenant handed the wine bag into his hand.

After taking several sips in a row, he stretched out his hand to wipe the wine dripping from his beard, and Fu Luo laughed loudly: "Happy!"

As he expected, Wei Jun retreated again today?
Thinking about it now, so what about Li Chengzhi, who is not supercilious, and can go against this trend of heaven?

Laughing at myself, being intimidated by Li Chengzhi's prestige for a while, I almost missed the opportunity.

For a while, Fu Luo was smug, and couldn't wait to see Yuan Ji and others' faces after learning that Li Chengzhi avoided fighting and retreated forty miles in two days...

About one mile to the east is the front camp of Wei Jun.Today is still the tiger riding in front, and the remaining nearly [-] riding guard the left and right wings.

The lieutenant stretched his neck and tried his best to look east.It is not very clear how the Wei army's central army was deployed, but it can be seen that the black smoke billowed like ink, covering half of the sky like a cloud, and lingered for a long time.

What is Wei Jun doing, cooking?

But why is the smoke so black, and also exudes a strange smell?

Just as he was suspicious, the lieutenant general heard the faint sound of a golden drum again. For some reason, it was extremely chaotic.

There were frictions on the border between the two countries from time to time. The lieutenant general followed Fuluo to guard Longku (the border between Tuyuhun and the Yuan and Wei Dynasties), and often fought with the Wei army.Therefore, he concluded that this was not a military order.

But looking around, Wei Jun's front line was motionless, and the sound of the golden drum should have come from the Central Army, which is two or three miles away.It can be seen how loud the sound of the gong should be?
And like this, the sound has been ringing in Wei's barracks for two days.And the cloud-like black smoke has been rising for two whole days, and as long as the sun never sets, there are few interruptions.

The deputy general racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Wei Jun was doing.I had to re-evaluate the army formation.

After watching for a while, the subordinate general said in a low voice: "At this time, the Wei army is eating food, and the central army will inevitably be in chaos. Why don't you take advantage of the instability and let the subordinates lead the armored guards to charge. As long as they break through the third battalion of tiger cavalry, the Wei army can be defeated." The whole camp is in chaos..."

I thought that even if Fu Luo didn't agree, he would definitely be moved, but he didn't want him to shake his head as if he was determined: "No!"

The subordinates knew that if they wanted to rush to Weiying, they had to break the tiger cavalry first.But why don't you think about it, tiger riding is so easy to break?
This is not the current Southern Dynasty Beifu Army and the Rouran Proton Army who have a reputation in vain but have long lived up to their former glory.

Since Emperor Daowu of the Yuan Wei Dynasty, for more than 100 years, there has not been a year when the tiger riders were not fighting.

Fu Luo reckoned that if he followed his subordinates' strategy, he would definitely be able to win, but it would definitely be a tragic victory.

If the damage to his subordinates is too great, Li Chengzhi will be defeated. When the southern army enters the pass, what will he use to compete with Nanliang for the pass?

So just keep the current situation. If Li Chengzhi retreats, he will advance. If Li Chengzhi does not retreat, he will not be good at fighting.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the subordinates were very unwilling: "My lord, if the Wei army retreats to Longguan tomorrow and sticks to the pass, what should we do?"

This is indeed a problem, but Volo has long thought about it.

"Siege of cities and barriers is not the strength of our army, so if the Wei army is really like this, it should be replaced by Yuanji's infantry to conquer. Moreover, even if the Wei army defends the various pass cities and valley roads in Longshan, there will always be a slightly advantageous location. Slow, where my cavalry can cross.

Therefore, if a surprise soldier is dispatched, it may not be impossible to seize one or two passes. At that time, in this huge pass, wouldn't it be possible for me to gallop? "

The subordinate was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Fu Luo's words were a little vague, and he took several turns before he realized: Forcing the Wei army to retreat for dozens of miles, Fu Luo Weimang is so strong.As long as the Wei army is forced to retreat to Longguan, if Fu Luo wants Yuan Ji to forcefully send troops to conquer, how dare Yuan Ji refuse?

There is no such thing as an ally.

After Yuan Ji lured the enemy head-on, Fu Luo then secretly crossed Longshan Mountain, or highlighted the strange soldiers to go around Li Chengzhi's back, or captured one or two passes, and gave Li Chengzhi's flanking soldiers.

Under the enemy's front and back, the Wei army will inevitably be in a state of confusion, and can only repeat the old tricks, retreating and retreating again and again.

This Long Pass naturally fell into Fu Luo's hands...

It's a good plan, but I don't know if it can be fulfilled?
Thinking like this in my heart, my subordinates showed a look of admiration: "Your Excellency has a good opinion, and this subordinate admires you!"

Volo laughed happily, his voice really loud.

Just like that, the tens of thousands of troops from both sides lived together for another day in peace.

The sun was going to the west, and it was going to be dark. Fu Luo ordered the army to retreat ten li, and the whole army camped on the spot.

The tiger cavalry of the Wei army and the more than ten thousand cavalry guarding the two wings also returned to the camp.Although no stronghold was established, Li Chengzhi ordered Diao Zhengyi to deploy a chariot formation ten miles long outside the camp, so there was no need to worry about Hu soldiers stealing the camp.

Thinking about how many miles Wei Jun will retreat tomorrow, Fu Luo is extremely excited.It was not until midnight that he fell asleep in a daze.

"Ugh..."

The sound of the horn was deep and long, awakening Volo from his sleep.

He opened his eyes abruptly, and found that the sky was bright, and through the gaps in the yurt, he could still see the scattered stars in the sky.

The general hurriedly rushed into the camp, and said solemnly: "My lord, the Wei army has sent troops, all of them are elite cavalry, but for some reason, they come from the left wing?"

"Tiger riding?"

"It's not just tiger riders, but there are nearly tens of thousands, at least seven or eight thousand. Except for tiger riders, the rest are all wearing armor."

At least seven or eight thousand, wouldn't it be that the Wei army sent out more than [-]% of the cavalry?
Is Li Chengzhi going to fight back?

Fu Luo was stunned: "Why?"

According to his prediction: Since he has retreated for two consecutive days, Wei Jun will still retreat today.At least they should retreat to Longguan.

But Wei Jun suddenly counterattacked?
It would be better not to retreat on the first day, at least the soldiers still have the morale of a battle.But now that you're venting and mourning again and again, when the morale of the army is falling, you want a decisive battle?
Now there is no sky in front, no ground in the back, and no terrain to rely on, so you just stick to it, but you took the initiative to provoke a war?
Li Chengzhi is not afraid that if the Chinese army moves, I will launch a light cavalry to attack your back?
I've never seen anything like this before...

The subordinate general didn't know how to respond, and wondered if your lord had fallen asleep?

I am not Wei Shuai, how can I know why he is like this?

Fu Luo also knew that the question was inappropriate, so he rubbed his hands vigorously on his face a few times, and calmed down: "Our army is facing east, and the left wing is north. The Wei army is trying to drive us south... South can Is there any trace of Wei Jun?"

The lieutenant general shook his head: "Traveling the horses to report, except for the armored cavalry on the north wing, there are only infantry camps in the front, and there is no Wei army on the south wing until Qin'an..."

Volo couldn't figure it out again.

Now Qin An is still in the hands of the rebels, and the guard is Yuan Ji's younger brother Yuan Ni. Although there are not many soldiers, there are five or six thousand infantry.There is a city to rely on, even if he retreats to Qin'an, Li Chengzhi can only return without success.

Even if you want to set up an ambush and drive yourself into your pocket, you should go north.

What's more, my troops are superior at this time, and they are all cavalry, so if you don't retreat, why do you do that?

Unless Li Chengzhi is confused and really wants to fight.

Fu Luo silently calculated, assuming that Li Chengzhi really put all his eggs in one basket, he has at least an [-]% chance of winning...

He really expected Li Chengzhi to retreat again and again, even abandoning Longguan.But if the Wei army dared to fight back, Fu Luo did not lack the courage to fight.

After these two days, his confidence has more than doubled?
This battle is not difficult to fight, so Fu Luo made a decision after pondering for a while: "Fight: Guards Jia sits in town, Guards B go north to meet the enemy's cavalry, Guards C are divided into two parts, and the front part will try to attack the enemy's infantry on the left and right. , the rear detoured to the east, pretending to attack the rear camp of the Wei army..."

"Follow the order!"

The deputy general walked out of the tent quickly, and Fu Luo called his own soldiers and put him in armor.

……

There are many ways for cavalry to deal with infantry, and there are many tricks.But if the cavalry meets the cavalry, the tactics can be called lackluster.

If it is a small-scale battle, you can also use the "8" figure tactic in order to constantly change the direction, relying on drawing arcs to go around the opponent's rear and attack with as little deceleration as possible.

But if you encounter a large army fighting, there are only two words: hedge.

If the formation is too dense, the impact force will be too strong during the charge, and the cavalry will fall off the horse.At this point, it becomes a step-by-step battle.

Regardless of whether it is hedging or foot combat, it is precisely what tiger cavalry is best at.

It's a pity that Li Chengzhi brought three battalions, and they were too expensive, so he only dared to let Yuan Zhi charge once.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, it entered a fierce battle...
