Late Tang

An urgent report came out of the blue, resounding through the entire Chinese army commander's account!

"It was discovered that the cavalry troops of the Qin Army were rapidly approaching Baishuiluo, and Tan Ma sent an urgent report.

"The unknown enemy cavalry that appeared were not Liu Xun's Wansheng Army from the direction of Yunzhou, nor the Shatuo people under Li Siyuan's command in Niupiguan, but the cavalry that appeared from the east and were advancing rapidly towards us. Got in touch!"

"What, how is this possible?"

Yelu Shilu couldn't help but sat up straight from his handsome wolf fur chair, and said in an unbelievable tone.

Shi Yan picked up a paper roll on the table in front of him, which recorded a lot of military information.On this document, there are some judgments he made based on the military information he received.

"The strong attack for two consecutive days has resulted in huge losses. After the first day of heavy artillery strikes, although the Qin army did not have the kind of devastating shelling cover that he expected, but the Qin army did not respond to the long-range crossbow. The proficient control of vehicles, catapults, flying thunder cannons, etc. still have great long-range suppression on them. The originally inconspicuous front and rear six-layer trenches inside and outside the barracks, as well as the attack on the Qin army launched on the first night The iron wires and horse refusal formations that appeared one after another in the raid night battle caused great harm to them. After repeated, repeated and three fierce attacks in two days and three times, they not only failed to defeat the Qin army and captured Li Jing alive, but instead The distance from Li Jing is getting farther and farther. The ratio of battle damage between the two sides is very different, and what is even more worthy of vigilance is that Liu Xun's and Shatuo's troops in the direction of Yunzhou in the south have not yet appeared. This makes people It has to be doubted that Li Jing was not alone and deeply surrounded. On the contrary, it is more and more likely that he took the initiative to chase here, and it is very likely that behind this pursuit is deliberately luring the enemy. Instead, they directly pointed at them, the last main force of the Hu tribe going south."

"... Li Jing's goal from the beginning was to wipe out all the Hu troops going south, not to let go, not just to capture the north and repel the tribal alliance. If it is just to repel the tribal army, Li Jing With the strength shown in Baishuiluo, he can go directly to Jincheng with Liu Xun's troops, and then go to Yunzhou. However, Li Jing went north first, rescued Li Siyuan, and then deliberately lured the Hu army of the Tatar tribes, but Defeating instead of annihilating, instead causing the barbarians to flee, and the result of his solitary pursuit and deep behind the enemy, this is obviously a very clumsy strategy at this time. But at the beginning, no one believed it, or captured and defeated Li Jing. The ** is indeed too high. After two days and one night of fighting in Baishuiluo, there are less than [-] tribal coalition forces left, while Li Jing's casualties are less than [-], and there are still more than [-] people. On the surface, it seems Li Jing is a little dangerous, but now it seems that the Hu people are the ones who are in danger. The Qin army and the Shatuo people in the south who have been obvious for a long time have not arrived in two days and one night, which is becoming more and more problematic now. I was still a little confused at first, but now it seems that this proves Li Jing's trick more and more. His plan is to use his body as bait to lure the main force of the barbarians to go to besiege. He has already prepared to concentrate a large number of long-range weapons , using this to fight the tribal army on the grassland. It seems that the tribal army has the upper hand in the battle outside the Great Wall, but in fact, this is another trap. The positional warfare of the Qin people is really too strong. And if According to this prediction, the next development of the war is very likely to be the encirclement and annihilation of the few Hu people left by the Qin army."

"Liu Xun's 3 people in the south and Li Siyuan's [-] Shatuo people have been moving slowly. This is a great trap. They have been moving slowly, so they have paralyzed the vigilance of Yelu Shilu and others. As expected In other words, Li Jing has been waiting for the follow-up troops from the east to arrive. Now, Li Jing has successfully lured Yelu Shilu to Baishuiluo, and dragged him here for two days and one night, and consumed nearly half of his troops. Now that the soldiers and horses from the east have arrived, it means that his army is finally going to be put away."

"In the end, only 20 of the [-] Hu troops were left, and the continuous offensive setbacks made their soldiers exhausted, their morale low, and their morale plummeted. Li Jing's troops from the east have arrived, so will the Liu Xun and Shatuo people in the south. It must be coming soon, and even a guy like Li Jing, who has always been cunning and likes to use the reserve team, is very likely to have ambushed an ambush around here. This method is not very clever, but the most rare link is Li Jing personally used his body as bait, and he couldn't bring too many soldiers by his side, so the Hu people had to have great confidence in attacking at the beginning. This is why Li Jing only led [-] soldiers by his side , let’s choose the battlefield on the grassland beside Baishuiluo Lake outside the Great Wall, everything is just to make the whole annihilation plan more perfect..."

Shi Yan closed his record, unable to bear the urge to applaud Li Jing loudly.Li Jing is indeed as cunning as a fox, but most of the time, he is unparalleled in bravery.He glanced at Yelu Shilu and the others, and sighed for them, they found the wrong opponent.

When the confirmation of the "Qin army approaching rapidly" was sent back, Yelu Shilu, the Khitan Yuyue of the Baishuiluohu camp, was greatly shocked.

Climbing up to the high watchtower, a black line appeared in the distant sky.In the blink of an eye, this black line has rapidly expanded like a raging tide.As far as the eye can see, there is a piece of navy blue, like a huge ant colony, moving forward.Seeing this scene, everyone was frightened and thirsty.

"What's going on here?" Yelv Shi Lubian pointed at the navy blue tide coming from the east, and muttered to himself with trembling lips, "Why did the Qin army's reinforcements arrive so quickly? The Liu Xun and Shatuo people in the south are all Haven't arrived yet, why did the Qin army from the military capital pass arrive first? Didn't the intelligence say that the Qin army from the military capital pass had just left the customs? Could it be that they can fly? The roads in the states behind the mountains are difficult, how could they possibly Arriving in no time?"

Some tribal leaders felt that Yelu Shilu had lost his composure at this time, and the speed of the Qin army's soldiers and horses was already unpredictable.Liu Xun had already come here once before when he was reinforcing Jincheng, and he suddenly appeared on the battlefield, thus defeating Yeluzara's army and annihilating the southward troops.Now, the Qin Army's Liu Xun Legion is moving slowly, but the reinforcements from Junduguan are moving quickly. This speed and slowness clearly intend to surround them and intend to wipe out their troops.It is not difficult to see through this layout, or looking back at this time, everything seems so clear.It's just that before this, before this layer of fog was lifted, no one would have thought that Li Jing would be so daring to lay such a big picture early.

According to their original estimates, the first Qin army to approach Li Jing would be Liu Xun and Shatuo people from Yunzhou.Faced with the news of Li Jing being surrounded, Liu Xun will definitely come to reinforce him with all his strength. Therefore, to a large extent, as long as Liu Xun and the Shatuo people are closely monitored, they can still take the initiative, advance and attack, and retreat. can be kept.

Then, Li Jing was crazier than they imagined. He really didn't take his own life seriously. He had already deployed 2 people to lure the enemy from the beginning, and he was confident that he would fight them with [-] people on the grassland outside the Great Wall. Soldiers and horses fought against each other for several days.

"Damn it, did Li Jing eat the bear's heart and the leopard's guts? Where did he get this kind of confidence in the first place? He's just taking risks. How can anyone who is a king personally act as the bait? Knowing how to use soldiers, how can there be such a way of fighting?"

A tribal leader said these stupid words unconsciously. He stood on a high watchtower and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. At dusk in July, the earth that was scorched by fire during the day was still steaming. , the heat is breathless.

"Master, what should we do?"

The leaders of several other small tribes were already as pale as paper at this time, and their voices were full of restlessness, panic and fear.

At the beginning, Yelu Shilu also suspected that Li Jing was trying to lure the enemy, but after a few words from Fu Guzhi, the leaders of these tribes were all moved by the idea of ​​defeating Li Jing, and they all agreed with Fu Guzhi. The offensive proposal, and one by one arrogantly threatened to cut off Li Jing's head with his own hands.Just a few days before and after, their attitude has completely changed.

There are still more than 4 tribal soldiers and horses, and there are more than 5 Li Jing's men in the Qin camp of Baishuiluo.Now, according to observations, the Qin army coming from the east has a total of 3 horses.Not far to the south of them, there are 2 people in Liu Xun and [-] people in Shatuo.

Offensive and defensive changes, the situation and strength of the two sides completely reversed.

Li Jing's 6000 men blocked their way back to the north. General Lin Wu of the Qin Army led 5 horses to rush from the northeast and blocked the northeast.Liu Xun's 3 men and [-] Sha Tuo attacked from the south and blocked the west.They were besieged, completely different from what they had expected, and the whole situation was reversed.

The number of the three-way Qin army reached 11, nearly three times that of the Hu army.

"Retreat immediately!" Someone panicked.

"Prepare to break out immediately, and break out to the northwest. Let's go in the direction of the Zhenwu Army, and from there, pass the Baidao, cross the Yin Mountain, and return to the grassland!" Yelv Shilu ordered. At this time, no one dared to say that he would fight the Qin army again . If 7 people can't beat 2 people, how can they beat 11 people?

Several tribal leaders responded, but their movements and expressions were full of despair.Lin Wu had already dispatched several cavalry units to bypass the battlefield and appear in the west direction, ready to intercept their retreat.

"Feng Guzhi, you take five thousand Khitan warriors to open the passage to the west!"

Yelu Shilu yelled vigorously, the sound of the Qin army's reinforcement cavalry's trampling on the railway made his face turn pale a little.

The Qin army began to attack, and the 5 horses led by Lin Wu rushed straight to the tribal camp without resting.

The iron hooves are like thunder, and the arrows are like rain!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Wu's troops were already close to the tribal army. For a moment, arrows flew across the sky, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Yelu Shilu vigorously waved the scimitar in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army retreats and breaks out to the west!"

In the Qin army camp.

"Report to the king, the Hulu ordered the whole army to retreat and break out to the west."

The military order just issued by Yelv Shilu has soon reached Li Jing's ears.On the arrow tower in the camp, Li Jing's black pupils had a mocking cold look, and he shook his head lightly and said, "I just want to retreat now, don't you think it's too late?"

"Immediately release the beacon cannon, and urgently summon Li Wei and other four-way troops to attack and encircle them!"

The person who issued this order was Jing Xiang, who was full of fighting spirit, coupled with the excellent situation at this time, his joy was beyond words.No matter how risky this plan was at first, everything at this time proved that King Qin won the war again.

"Your Highness, General Lin Wu is really fast. He arrived a day earlier than expected!" Gongsun Lan finally let go of her worries.Lin Wu's early arrival also made this battle a victory in advance.The tension and worry for many days in a row can finally be completely relaxed.

"Well, the third brother came really quickly!" Li Jing nodded.

In fact, when Lin Wu heard that Li Jing personally led the army as a bait in the military capital, he immediately began to yell at all the generals accompanying the army, and then immediately urged the assembled soldiers to attack.He didn't wait for all the troops to arrive before dispatching troops, but directly took the [-] troops who arrived first, one man and two horses, non-stop, and rushed towards the foot of the Yin Mountain day and night.Such a forced march all the way, finally arrived at the battlefield one day earlier than Li Jing expected.
