Chapter 533: Re-Raising Troops
Although it was a victory, it still took Li Jing nearly ten days to bring the remnants of the Sanghu tribe back to the Han Department, and the only thing he felt fortunate about was that although the environment was relatively bad, no one died, which was a good result. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the arrangement of Li Jing's departure at the beginning, the clansmen who died in the war naturally had rich compensation, and those captured people of the Northern Hind Bu tribe were distributed as slaves to meritorious heroes. The whole Han tribe was cheering, not suffering from widowhood but suffering from injustice, Li Jing's rewards and punishments were clear, which was a gratifying thing for the entire Han Department, and some clansmen even asked Li Jing to take risks again and strike at the Qiyan Department, even Li Qiao and others also thought that the time to attack the Qiyan Department had come.
In the big tent, the bonfire made the whole big tent warm, all the generals gathered together, Li Jing held a wooden stick in his hand, pointed to the map in front of him, and said: "This is the location of the Qiyan Department that the secret guard has detected, after the war, the Qiyan Department has not lost many soldiers and horses, and there are still fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses under it, and it is not very easy to eat these fifty or sixty thousand people, we can march long distances, and sudden attacks can achieve a certain advantage, but the real advantage still needs our soldiers and horses, Only the soldiers' lives are our real weapons. ”
"If fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses are added together and attack us, we will face a three-way attack." Boyan said seriously: "Now the last general doesn't know the specific location of the soldiers and horses of the Qiyan Army, but I believe that dealing with Hebul is just a brave and unscrupulous person, and the last general thinks that some of the soldiers and horses will resist the opponent's attack, and some of the soldiers and horses will attack from behind, and directly attack the opponent's camp." After Boyan finished speaking, his head lowered.
"A small part of the forces resisted, most of the attack, just?" Li Jing nodded, the only way to deal with cavalry is cavalry, and the infantry cannot gain an advantage on the grassland, but this has to pay a part of the price, and this price depends on whether Li Jing can pay it.
"General, the last general has a way." Li Qiao suddenly said: "In the past, I tried it with a chariot. The chariot itself is relatively cumbersome, and it has long disappeared in the long river of history in the war in the Central Plains, but it cannot be said that the chariot has withdrawn from the stage of history, mainly because the speed of action of the war horse in the war is very fast, and the chariot is much worse in terms of mobility, but this time it is different, mainly defense, and the chariot has many advantages in defense. ”
"Chariots? Is it the Central Plains Bronze Chariot? Brother Xiao Wei was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "It's just that it's too late to make a bronze chariot now." ”
"According to local conditions, sometimes there is no need for bronze chariots, even chariots made of grain and grass are also acceptable, as long as they can block the enemy's attack." Li Jing looked at the wooden cart outside and said, "The main force outside is to contain the enemy and create opportunities for most of the enemies, and it is not impossible. ”
"Moreover, the tank also has an advantage when transporting troops. Keeping all the grain and grass on the chariot also increases the speed of transporting troops. Boyan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say.
"Who attacks, who defends?" Li Jing glanced at everyone around him.
"The last general defends." Li Qiao stood up without thinking about it, the Han people are best at defense, and the fierce generals Boyan and Xiao Weige on the grassland crisscross the grassland, paying attention to the cavalry corps fighting, aggression is like fire, and they have special insights into cavalry operations.
"Very good, the cavalry is divided into two parts, and the two of you will each lead 20,000 cavalry, divided into two parts, left and right, and attack the old camp of the Qiyan Department from the north and south." Li Jing nodded and said: "I personally led 20,000 troops to resist the attack of the Qiyan Army, this time you have to be careful first, and when it is the end, you must also let Hebule know what the arrival of the army looks like, so that you can give Hebule enough time to react, only he gathers more soldiers and horses, but before that, the two of you must set off a day earlier, and when the army is in battle, attack immediately." I'm sure both of you are masters of cavalry and know when the best time to strike. ”
"My subordinates understand." Brother Xiao Wei and Boyan glanced at each other, their eyes were full of fighting spirit, among the two, one is a general, the other is a slave, one is close to Pu Suwan, the other is a person from the North Hindu Bu Department, and Badama is naturally close, Li Jing's meaning, almost the entire Han Department knows that the heir born to the two daughters in the future must be the lord of the grassland, but who has the upper hand depends on everyone's strength. As courtiers, Brother Xiao Wei and Boyan are naturally opponents.
"Very good, rest for three days, after three days, the two of you will set off first, five days, the rest of the army will set off, although some of the grain carts and carriages in the clan will be taken away, and the weapons will be mainly bows and arrows." Li Jing took out the big knife on his waist, slashed at the cases in front of him, and said loudly: "Our main goal this time is to destroy the Qiyan Division, that is, not to destroy him, but also to defeat them, so that they cannot become poisonous snakes hiding behind us." ”
"Yes." The generals stood up and shouted.
"In that case, get ready for action!" Li Jing saw that outside the big tent, there was Tuhuan staring at the big tent, but because there were personal guards outside the big tent, and he was embarrassed to approach, he walked outside, and waited until everyone left, and then walked in.
"A, but you're ready to attack Ebony?" Tuhuan hurriedly asked, "Don't forget to take me forward." ”
If you want to solve the Khitans and Ebony, you must first solve the enemy behind us, the Qiyan Department is behind us, once I fight with the Khitans, they will kill from behind and attack our old camp, this danger cannot be taken!" Li Jing shook his head and said.
Tuhuan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Answer, I don't know if I can borrow 10,000 soldiers, no, 5,000, I want to go back to Bai Dadan, Bai Dadan and many other clansmen are loyal to me and my father Khan, they will not succumb to the tyrannical rule of Ebony, if I lead the army back, they will definitely support me." Tuohuan's eyes flashed, and he looked at Li Jing and said.
Li Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Tuhuan, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Qiyan Department, about fifty or sixty thousand people, and I only have an army of 70,000 under my command, and there is a Tatar in the north, although I have made an alliance with me, but no one dares to guarantee that they will attack me in the south, Yelu Dashi is best at conspiracy and trickery, and I dare not guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to attack me, I will lead 60,000 troops to solve Hebul, and the old camp must leave 10,000 troops." Therefore, I can't help you this time, you have to endure for a while, and when I destroy Hebul, I will naturally help you regain the position of Khan that belongs to you. ”
After listening to this, Tuohuan nodded suddenly, his face was full of bitterness, he arched his hand towards Li Jing, and then came out of the big tent, his back was slightly gloomy.
Li Jing's eyes flashed with cold light, looking at Dehuan's back, he snorted slightly coldly in his heart, how could his soldiers and horses be easily borrowed, not to mention that there were not many soldiers and horses in his hands, even if there were extra soldiers and horses, they would not be easily given to Dehuan, and if they were given, Tuhuan would be able to use these 5,000 soldiers and horses to gather the clansmen to defeat Ebony and regain Bai Dadan's power. It is not conducive to Li Jing's future actions.
Although letting Tuohuan move forward may be able to split the Bai Dadan people, but the Bai Dadan people can't even resist the Khitan Xijing soldiers and horses, and they can't resist the Han army, if Li Jing doesn't annex it, how can he be worthy of his own plan?
