I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 164
The enthusiasm of these Western troops for war horses is really touching.

In this state of frightened horses, they actually gathered eight or nine hundred war horses, which is also a desperate effort.

Passing by Langsong without attacking, Zhao Xi just came here on a whim.Now, the surrounding area has also been hit, what's the next step?

Zhao Xi couldn't care less about this group of soldiers who were crazy about horses, he was thinking about how to stir up trouble next.

"Let's pursue, you just need to stay behind, no one should stray too far from the team. Those with horses can go three or five miles ahead, pay attention to vigilance!"

Zhao Xi's order was somewhat vague, and to put it bluntly, it was almost purposeless.

What do you mean?Even Di Qing was taken aback, but he didn't speak.

Yang Wenguang has already been scolded, there is no ambiguity, His Royal Highness said so, and he just passed the order.

Di Qing looked at Zhao Xi, waiting for his explanation.Because Di Qing was confused.

At this time, the reinforcements were beaten back, and now Lang Song was isolated and helpless, that is, there were less than a thousand guards, so it should be easy to take down.He couldn't figure out why His Highness would let him pursue him.

His Highness should be clear about what will happen in the pursuit, whether it will be facing nearly three times as many Annan's troops, or they will be fully equipped and heavily armed.

Even if it was a joint attack with the soldiers of the Guo Dynasty in Guangyuan City, even if they won, it would be a miserable victory.

Could it be that His Highness thinks that with gunpowder, there are no taboos, and he is invincible?
"Di Shuai, I have no intention of fighting an encounter, and I don't think gunpowder will sweep everything away. I want to fight Gao Bang!"

Gao Bang?This... Di Qing has to admire His Royal Highness's thoughts, this is really not what ordinary people think.

Even he, Di Qing, would only want to fight back, go back to Langsong, occupy the stronghold of Langsong, and use the ability of Guochao soldiers to defend the city to drive a nail into the territory of Annan.

Besides, Langsong was very close to Yongping Village, and these tens of thousands of soldiers would go deep into the enemy's rear, isolated and helpless.

And His Highness...

"As a result of this aid campaign, more reinforcements should be attracted from Guangyuan. Because Langsong is a key point on the border between them and China, there is no room for loss."

"Taking advantage of this gap, tens of thousands of soldiers may succeed in attacking Gaobang!"

Zhao Xi didn't say how to arrange it further down.This has to wait and see, to see the other party's reaction to determine one's own actions.

Fighters are never static. The so-called decisive victory is pure nonsense.

In Zhao Xi's view, those formations of the ancestors are just better looking, and they are useless except to kill people.

Sneak attack on Gaobang!If Di Qing has absolute autonomy, he has the power to make impromptu decisions like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Perhaps, he thought, he would do the same.

There is no doubt that Gaobang should be the supply point for the entire northern part of Annan, that is, the tens of thousands of people who are preparing to harm the country and Guangnan, and it is the focus of Liangcaozi.

It is said to be chasing, but it is also attached to the back, which is similar to tracking.

Everyone was walking in the direction of Guangyuan almost casually, and they were even interested in cooking with a fire.

As for the Annan army soldiers who were trampled and injured by war horses, His Royal Highness said that they were not injured by us, and there is no reason to take care of them, so we just left them there...

The wounded are more disturbing than the dead!
It is still very useful to gather the war horses at this time.Zhao Xi divided them into several groups and used them as outposts. The task was to scout the Annan Army in the direction of Guangyuan, but they must not be contacted.

……

"Your Highness, the army is coming from the direction of Guangyuan, a mixture of infantry and cavalry, about ten thousand."

Zhao Xi is still worried here, worried that the eldest prince Annan will also have a sudden whim and directly attack Guangyuan.

After all, if that's the case, staying in Guangyuan's team now may not really be able to withstand the impact of others.

The final result is that they caused harm in Guangyuan, and they tossed and tossed in Annan. No one could take advantage.

But now it's all right, the plot is coming exactly as I expected.

"Go into the mountains and hide! If you can't watch the horses, kill them all, and don't expose them!"

Zhao Xi accompanied Di Qing, checked the map, and gave the order directly.

There is no way, to go to Gaobang, you must go another twenty or thirty miles northwest, and then go directly west.

Originally, Annan, the eldest prince, was given time to think about it, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious.

Just lying in the mountains and forests, listening to the thousands of troops passing by down the mountain... My heart is really itchy, and I have the idea of ​​​​firing a few gunpowder bombs several times.

But at this time, Yang Wenguang felt at ease, and it was easy to be with a group of lieutenants.

A few of them discussed it, and they all thought that His Royal Highness was about to fight a hard battle, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness to let the reinforcements pass like this.

What are you going to do?There are nearly [-] Annan soldiers in the direction of Guangyuan. If they link up with the Wang Shi in Guangyuan Prefecture and attack from both sides, it should be a big victory.

They are all generals, and they all have their own judgments and assessments of the battle situation.

however……

After letting go of Annan's reinforcements to support Lang Song, they went forward for another [-] miles. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness let the guard battalion open the way, and the whole army turned westward, over the mountains...

This is to hit Gaobang!These generals suddenly realized.

His Royal Highness the Prince's use of troops has never been real, and has always been avoiding the most important and taking the lightest, attacking those who are unprepared...

Yu Jing watched as the other side dispatched reinforcements again.He who was ambushed and fled back in a panic couldn't see him, so he was very worried.

Five thousand for the first time, nearly ten thousand this time, still a mixture of infantry and cavalry... Your Highness, Di Shuai, is it possible that you are going to stick to Lang Song?
He is just a literati, and he has ordered to attack the enemy camp several times!But it won't work.

Don't talk about the Nong people who promised money and food, but talk about recruiting soldiers, which is not material for charging, only the tens of thousands of Western troops...but the enemy is twice as many.

Alas... Only Sun Mian can empathize with this anxiety.

"Bachelor, continue to confront like this?"

It's a confrontation, but it's more like living their own lives.

The two sides fought at the border like this, and no one crossed the border once, let alone a war.They are all anti-mouse weapons, and they are cautiously maintaining the status quo.

Annan's troops were reduced, so he didn't dare to quarrel with them, while Yu Jing knew his own affairs.

"Prince, Di Shuai, you have your own calculations. We will continue as usual!"

Now the two sides are like arrows on the string. As long as they don't let go, they will always be a threat, but once the arrow is released, it means showing their cards.

Yu Jing sees this truth very clearly, and Sun Mian also understands it himself, it's just that he is so exhausted, worrying in his heart...it's not a good feeling.

Every day, they talked casually like this, and the two of them encouraged and cheered each other up, and then pretended to have a confident look, and started to tour the camp.

Gaobang is not Langsong, this is the nearest city to Guangyuan.

At this time, almost all the soldiers in the north of Annan were concentrated in Guangyuan, so the entire Gaobang is now a grain depot.

Annan's eldest prince is not the kind who grew up in a deep palace, but has gone through battles, and his military strategy is not bad.

For example, in the current Gaobang, he has deployed at least [-] soldiers to guard.

The key is that the military discipline of the entire Annan army is not lax at all, even in the rear of the army, their patrols are also very standardized and rigorous.
