Chapter 298: Bloody Battle (2)
(Commuter Pass)
In March of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the war in northern Mayi was full of chaos and variables, and no one could control the pace of the war.
Locally, the Hengan Town Army is elite and flexible, and the most important thing is that there is a fortified city behind them that can be garrisoned, making their attacks appear sharper.
And the ability to attack, retreat, and defend is also the advantage of the terrain in the clouds.
However, under the premise of the grand strategy, they are undoubtedly at an extreme disadvantage.
They had too few troops and horses to be surrounded by the Turkic cavalry at any time, and they were not far from the main force of the Turkic army, which obviously made their sortie look a little reckless and contain great risks.
Such a situation tests the sense of war of the leaders of the two sides and their ability to make decisions on the spot.
Obviously, Li Po, who devoted himself to the war, looked even more terrifying, and his desire to win was even stronger.
So, he took the lead in making a bold attempt.
After Bu Qun and the other three led their troops to win a small victory, Li Po could no longer wait in Yunnei City with peace of mind, waiting for the news from outside to come back.
He immediately ordered Li Bi to lead the army to sit in Yunnei City, and he himself led 6,000 cavalry to embark on the journey again.
And this was not a desperate gamble, he led a large army, and soon entered the boundary of the Yunnei Racecourse, and stayed at the northeast edge of the Yunnai Racecourse.
He had two plans.
One is that the enemy army is too large to confront head-on, so it responds to the thousands of cavalry outside and turns back to the clouds.
One is that when he discovers a fighter, he can lead his army directly into battle and carry out the fastest attack on the enemy.
This is based on the flexibility and mobility of the Hengan Town Army. The decision was made, and not recklessly. But it showed a very strong desire to fight.
Moreover, there are Buqun and others cruising outside. While expanding their combat horizons, the Heng'an Zhen Army also blindfolded the Turks by the way.
He was very sure that the Turks did not know how many soldiers and horses there were in the Heng'an army.
His only worry was that the Turks regarded the thousands of cavalry outside as the main force of the Heng'an Zhen Army, and planned to encircle and annihilate them, so that the Heng'an Zhen Army would have no chance to take advantage of it.
So. At the beginning of this war, it was a contest of patience and judgment, and when the winner was decided, it was determined by the determination of the two sides to fight.
The waiting process is undoubtedly painful, and each moment seems to be incredibly long.
For Li Po, this is even more so.
He didn't know how many people and horses there were in the Turkic elite cavalry that he chose as the target, and with the strength and combat power of the Heng'an Zhen Army, the bottom line that could withstand it was not high.
And in terms of the importance that the Turks attach to the Heng'an Zhen Army, it is likely that he is doing it now. It's all useless, and it's putting itself in an extremely dangerous situation.
As time passed, Li Po felt more and more that it was a little unreliable to lead his troops to attack this time.
Turkic tribal warriors who are moving south one after another. and the main force of the Turkic army, which didn't take too long to arrive, made every breath of air he breathed full of danger.
At this time he even felt. No news seems to be the best news.
Li Po let out a long sigh in the spring breeze and sighed quite anxiously. Heng'an Zhenjun's family background is still too thin.
And in a canyon in the southeastern foothills of Wuzhou Mountain, a Turkic nobleman was also frowning. Listening to the reports that kept coming back, I felt that it was difficult to choose.
His name was Ashina Siyun, the nephew of the Raider Western Khan, and his uncle Jieli Khan summoned him to tell him about him before he led his troops to fight for the khan at the royal court last winter.
This time, he followed the khan south to attack the Sui, and if he could cut off the heads of two Sui people and bring them back to Jieli Khan, then his uncle would marry his favorite daughter, Ashina Anlan, to him.
Thinking of the face that made the white and sacred peaks on the holy mountain lose their color, the names of the two Sui people were immediately engraved in Ashina Siyun's heart.
Li Ding'an, Liu Wuzhou.
One commanded the Heng'an town army of the Sui people, and the other was the commander of Mayi County.
The official positions and names of these biting Sui people are not important to him, the important thing is that he leads many of the most elite warriors under the Western Khan account, and wants to kill these two people in the war with the Sui people like hunting.
This is obviously not an easy task, because there will be many Turkic warriors competing with him for this glory, so he needs not only patience or bravery, but also some luck.
Fortunately, as the royal family of Ashina, luck has always been with him, and this is the darling of the gods who are blessing him.
Therefore, he received an order from the Khan, ordering him to wait in a hidden place, waiting for the enemy to penetrate and be caught, and this enemy was the Heng'an Zhenjun of the Sui people.
Then, what he had to do now was very simple, and when the time was right, he would lead the warriors out of the breathless valley to cut off the coveted head.
Of course, troubles followed, and he now needed to figure out which cavalry the head was hiding.
Because the report came back that the Sui army did appear on the plain, they were quite surprisingly fierce, and in a very short time, they killed many Turkic warriors.
There was another cavalry of 1,000 men, which was moving along the foot of this mountain range, and it was getting closer and closer to them, and it was clear that the prey had also sensed the danger and was searching for the source of the danger.
As news grew, the cunning foes dispersed, and if they struck, they were likely to scare away their cautious prey rather than capture them.
Obviously, Ashina Siyun is also facing a choice.
Is it to divide the forces now, or ...... Wait patiently until the enemy is farther away from the lair.
Time passed slowly in Ashina Siyun's hesitation.
At this time, it was an accident that decided the direction of the war.
When Wei Chigong led the army forward, by chance, the scouts searched a group of mountain people.
In the place of Mayi, the so-called mountain people are actually no different from bandits, and the mountain people on Wuzhou Mountain, which is close to Yunnei, are almost the same as the western mountain thieves in Yunnei, and complement the eastern mountain thieves.
No matter what these mountain people do on weekdays, if they are exposed to the army, it will be a catastrophe for them.
What's more, at this time, the army is searching for enemy traces, and it is also the time when the soldiers are the most anxious and sensitive.
After a chase, several men and women were caught.
Shuanglong ditch.
This is a place name that the mountain people said in order to survive, a desperate valley not far from Wuzhou Village, and the mountain people are knowing that there is a large army entering there, so they are walking eastward, wanting to avoid the war.
After inquiring about the terrain there, Wei Chigong was ecstatic.
A desperate valley, where no general with a brain would lead an army to station, and the Turks chose such a place carelessly.
When they were hiding, they probably never thought that someone would attack them here.
Of course, whether it is arrogant or underestimating the enemy, there is only such a place that can accommodate the army to hide, anyway, Wei Chigong feels that if what a few mountain people say is true, this is simply a fighter sent by God to the Hengan Town Army.
At this time, the quality of an excellent general was also undoubtedly revealed in Wei Chigong.
He did not happily lead his troops to join the army, nor did he rush to take the lead and make meritorious achievements, but while ordering someone to bring a mountain man to Li Po to summon the message, he led the army to continue to move forward slowly.
This obviously confused Ashina Siyun's eyes.
At this time, he had almost made up his mind, wait another day, let these Sui troops go further east, and then he could go out and surround them.
When he made up his mind, his mood was also relaxed, and he drank bitterly with the generals in the account for a night, and at this time, they even felt that it was a bit overkill for the khan to let the 25,000 elite horsemen guard here.
Of course, they also understood that encircling and destroying thousands of fleeing cavalry, 25,000 cavalry was not much, and it was not difficult to defeat the enemy, but it was the most difficult place to encircle and annihilate them.
This is actually similar to the siege of the Sui people, the difference in strength is the key to obtaining the results, the bigger the gap, the better the results, especially the cavalry battle, even more so.
Obviously, Ashina Siyun was not a Turkic general in the typical sense, he was very patient, and he was not irritable in the war, in fact, it was this steady heart that made him appreciated by Jieli Khan and relied on him as an arm.
But in this battle, his advantages suddenly turned into disadvantages, which shows that the sentence that soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent is very reasonable.
One night was not a long time, but it decided the fate of this Turkic elite horseman.
The contingency of war played a crucial role in this war.
Of course, when this kind of lucky accident happens, you have to be fully prepared, otherwise, the phrase that the fighter plane is fleeting is the final footnote to these accidents.
When he received the summons from Wei Chigong, Li Po's decision was very fast, and he immediately sent a message to Bu Qun and Chen San, ordering Chen San to continue to lead his troops and wander around the flank of the army, and the Bu Qun Department took advantage of the night to march towards Shuanglonggou.
Then there was Liu Jing's promotion of the army, and Li Po ordered him to cruise near the left side of Shenwu, clear the Turkic rangers, and report to him when the main Turkic army moved.
As soon as it was nightfall, Li Po led 6,000 cavalry, took advantage of the night to move forward, and soon converged with the infantry group, and countless scouts began to scout in front, cutting off the Turkic rangers to the direction of Shuanglonggou layer by layer, and in the second half of the night, the army had quietly come to Shuanglonggou more than ten miles away.
At this time, the Turks were still unaware that the prey they wanted to hunt had come to their eyes.
