"Bring me the map."
Li Zixiao shouted, and Quartz immediately spread out the map he was carrying.
"Mt. Wushi, I've found it." Soon, Li Zixiao found the location of Qi Wei's surrounded Wushi Mountain on the map.
"The hill chosen by Qi Wei is not bad, although the terrain is not high, but it is enough for them with muskets and artillery.
What's more, there is still a water source in this mountain, so we don't have to worry about Li Zicheng's army being besieged by water cuts, so that it can leave us for a longer time, so that we can plan well. ”
Li Zixiao's eyes stared at the location of the map of Wushi Mountain, and a bold plan gradually emerged in his heart, making his eyes brighter and brighter.
After a while, Li Zixiao laughed out loud and said: "Haha, who will set up a trap for whom this time, it's not certain, I want Li Zicheng to steal chickens and rice this time." ”
"The general already has an idea? How to fight? Han Tong, who was next to him, also showed joy when he heard Li Zixiao say this, and asked.
"I have a preliminary plan, but I have to see again, everything has to be cut off on Qi Wei's side, can I resist it, but I believe in Qi Wei."
Li Zixiao's eyes looked to the northeast and said in a deep voice.
"General rest assured, General Qi didn't notice it too late, although we still couldn't withdraw safely in the end, but we didn't lose much.
And in the end, Qi Wei couldn't escape, so he chose a suitable hill to refuse.
With the strength in Qi Wei's hands at this time, even if Song Xiance had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, it was impossible to eat Qi Wei in a short period of time. ”
Han Tong said with confidence.
"That's it, okay." Li Zixiao smiled slightly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"So general, do we have to rush over immediately now and rescue General Qi!" Huo Gang on the side also interjected.
"No, we're going now, do you think we can rescue Qi Wei from the army of tens of thousands of thieves?" Li Zixiao looked at Huo Gang and asked rhetorically.
"This ...... is a bit difficult, but if we don't save it, General Qi and the more than 8,000 brothers won't ......."
Huo Gang said a little anxiously.
"Don't worry, didn't we say it just now, Qi Wei will be fine in a short time, now the thieves are strong and strong, and their morale is like a rainbow, our little people, I'm afraid that Qi Wei won't be out in the past, let's also get in."
Avoid its edge, I'll take you to other places to shop, let Qi Wei resist for a few days first, and then let's kill the spirit of the army of thieves. ”
With Li Zixiao in his heart, he perfected his plan little by little, making him more and more relaxed, and said with a smile on his face.
"That's what the general is listening to."
Han Tong and Huo Gang glanced at each other, and they were very helpless, and they said in their hearts: General, your heart is really big, you are really not afraid of Qi Wei being destroyed!
Although they don't know how Li Zixiao is going to fight next, since they can't guess it, they will honestly obey orders.
"General, the battlefield has been cleared, the enemy's corpses have all been buried, and our fallen soldiers are preparing to be cremated, this is the number of our dead and the number of enemies killed."
At this time, Quartz came over, reported to Li Zixiao, and handed Li Zixiao a list.
Everyone's faces suddenly became serious, although they won this battle, it was not easy to win.
In the end, if it weren't for Li Zixiao and them coming, it stimulated the morale of the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion and the morale of the enemy they struck, and Zhao Zilong brought five hundred guards to join the battlefield.
It is estimated that this battle will be fought for a while longer, and it is not certain who will die in the end, although Liu Tichun's chance of turning the tables is not very large, but when Han Tong wins, it will inevitably be a miserable victory.
"Four hundred and seventy-three men were killed, thirty-nine were wounded, one thousand and eighty-four were killed, no wounded, one hundred and sixty-three horses were lost, and one hundred and seven horses were wounded.
Five hundred and eighty-six horses were captured, of which four hundred and eighteen were intact, and the rest were wounded. ”
Li Zixiao took the post-war statistical list handed over by Quartz and read it out loud.
After Li Zixiao finished reading, Han Tong and the others all gasped, they didn't expect that in just a few moments, they would directly lose more than 500 people.
Although they had already annihilated twice as many enemies as them, they were proud to be able to achieve one or two results when the forces of both sides were close to three-one.
However, the Flying Feather Battalion lost 500 people at once this time, although it was not a big injury, but it was also a broken muscle, but looking at Li Zixiao's expression, he was still more satisfied.
"You fought well, even if you pursued and killed the enemy after the war, it is estimated that there must be more than 1,200 people, and when the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is already very good to be able to fight like this.
The soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion have worked hard, they didn't let me down, and they didn't let me and Qi Wei think in vain. ”
Finally, Li Zixiao put away the statistics sheet and said to Han Tong and Huo Gang.
Hearing Li Zixiao say this, Han Tong and Huo Gang both breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, Li Zixiao was already very satisfied with such a result.
Such a record, in the era of cold weapons, can already be said to be a very good answer.
The important thing is that in the end the bandit cavalry was defeated, they won the battle, and the number of enemies destroyed in the battle was not too important.
After all, this is not a war of annihilation, the number of enemies destroyed cannot be too large, and in this era, there are too few examples of battles that can fight a war of annihilation.
The battle mainly depends on the result, in fact, the number of soldiers who actually died in the war is not too high.
And it's still cavalry, coming and going like the wind, it's easier to retreat, this thief cavalry lost to the cavalry of the Flying Feather Battalion under the advantage, it's not just a loss of more than a thousand horses.
This will be a heavy blow to the morale of their team, and the next time they fight the Flying Feather Battalion, they will at least be timid.
"Let's go, go and cremate our fallen soldiers, and let the wounded soldiers, with their ashes, return to Ruzhou City first, and wait for the news of our triumph."
Li Zixiao's expression was solemn, and he personally took quartz, Han Tong, and Zhao Zilong to participate in the cremation of the fallen soldiers, and Li Zixiao even personally lit the wooden pile.
Next to several huge fires, more than 6,000 white dragon soldiers stood and watched, no one dared to make a loud noise at this time, all with solemn expressions, bidding farewell to their comrades.
"Defeat the thieves, our army will win!" Suddenly, Han Tong raised his right hand and shouted.
"Defeat the thieves, and our army will win! Defeat the thieves, our army will win, win, win! ”
With Han Tong taking the lead, thousands of White Dragon Army soldiers behind echoed one after another, shouting to the sky, morale like a rainbow, and murderous spirit.
"Give the order, the whole army will be opened, and the deeds will be covered."
Subsequently, Li Zixiao ordered the whole army to march, he was worried that Song Xiance's side would soon get the news of Liu Tichun's defeat, and he would send people to find the traces of Li Zixiao and their team.
At this time, Li Zixiao must not let the thieves find them, only if they are in the dark, can Song Xiance and others be jealous.
However, Li Zixiao then led more than 6,000 White Dragon Army, including the remaining cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion in their early 2,000s after the war, and marched covertly in the northwest direction.
"General, we're heading northwest! Isn't it getting farther and farther away from General Qi? Zhao Zilong asked Li Zixiao puzzled.
"Zilong, you are still too young, study hard, war is also a science, very broad and profound, offensive and defensive, victory and defeat, there is no clear division.
At this time, you can see that we are getting farther and farther away from the place where Qi Wei was trapped, but we went directly to rescue them, which is more useful. ”
Li Zixiao said to Zhao Zilong with a smile.
"Yes, the lesson of the general is that Zilong really needs to learn from the general and several generals." Zhao Zilong was also humble and said.
Subsequently, Li Zixiao took more than 6,000 White Dragon soldiers and soldiers to go around in a big circle, but he was getting farther and farther away from Wushi Mountain.
At this time, they were hidden in a wood, ten miles southwest of Dagu Pass.
"Han Tong, can your scouts contact Zhang Fugui's intelligence officers nearby?"
Li Zixiao sat on a tree trunk, untied the water bladder and took a sip of water, and asked Han Tong a question.
"General Yu, the scout sent out, the scout just brought back an intelligence officer."
"Bring him here."
"Yes."
Soon, a young man dressed as a common man was brought to Li Zixiao by Han Tong, and immediately knelt down and said, "Shi Lei, an intelligence officer under Luoyang Mansion of the subordinate Intelligence Bureau, will meet the general." ”
"Get up." Li Zixiao waved his hand and said.
"Shi Lei, let me ask you, Li Zicheng set up a trap at Dagu Pass to lure our army forward, why didn't you find out in advance?"
Li Zixiao's voice was a little cold, so frightened that Shi Lei quickly knelt down again, with a bitter face, and explained: "General, I really don't blame us this time, it's really too cunning to break into the thief."
The information we get about the thieves comes mainly from the lower-level generals who have bought off their army of thieves and obtained information from them.
However, this time Li Zicheng learned well, and this time he designed an ambush for General Qi, and we didn't get any news in advance.
Even in the army of thieves, except for some of Li Zicheng's henchmen and generals, until the army of thieves was opened, those generals under their hands didn't know what they were going to do.
They all thought they were going to attack Bishui Pass, but who knew that they were only told the true purpose after they left Yanshi City, but at that time we didn't have a chance to receive information at all.
This time, you really don't blame us! ”
Looking at Li Zixiao's gloomy face, when he saw Li Zixiao's stone thunder for the first time, he was about to cry, and his heart was even more trembling.
After Li Zixiao heard Shi Lei's explanation, his face softened slightly, if he really wanted what Shi Lei said, he really couldn't blame them this time.
"Forget it, let's not worry about this matter for now, now let me ask you, how many thieves and defenders are there in Dagu Pass now, and who are the guards?"
"I know this, since yesterday's army of thieves pursued General Qi Wei, there are not many defenders left in Dagu Pass, or as usual, there are almost three thousand thieves and defenders, and the guards don't know for the time being."
"Three thousand? You can give it a try. After Li Zixiao heard this, he whispered to himself.
Shi Lei saw Li Zixiao's contemplative appearance, and he was also a little thoughtful in his heart, and after a while, he finally had the courage to speak: "The general is going to take Dagu Pass?" ”
"What? Do you have a way? Li Zixiao raised his head and looked at Shi Lei.
"Hehe, what can I do under my subordinates, but I have an important piece of information here, which may be useful to the general." Shi Lei said with a smile.
"Tell me about it." Li Zixiao was also interested and asked.
"Yes." Shi Lei responded excitedly, and then said: "From this afternoon to now, several bands of thief cavalry have entered Dagu Pass one after another.
Moreover, these thief cavalry looked embarrassed, untidy, covered in blood, and even many of them were injured, as if they had just experienced a fiasco.
The number of them is not too many, some are dozens of people, some are hundreds, and several teams have entered the Dagu Pass one after another. ”
After Shi Lei just finished speaking, Li Zixiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Han Tong, Zhao Zilong, Huo Gang and others next to him, and their eyes obviously showed excitement.
"Very good, your news is very important, take credit to you, go back to Zhang Fugui to receive the reward." Li Zixiao also suppressed the excitement in his heart and sent Shi Lei away.
After Shi Lei just left, Zhao Zilong jumped out excitedly and said to Li Zixiao: "General, great, this piece of information is too important."
If what the man said just now is correct, the thieves and cavalry who arrived at Dagu Pass one after another this afternoon.
Most of them were the thieves who were separated from their large forces after they were pursued by me and the two generals Han and Huo, and then returned to Dagu Pass.
In that case, this is our chance! ”
"Haha, Zilong is right, General, this is indeed our chance." At this time, Han Tong also stood up and said.
"Haha, you've all thought of it, it's very good, it just so happens that the armor of the thieves we cleaned up from the battlefield hasn't been thrown away yet, but now it can come in handy."
Li Zixiao smiled brightly and said.
By this time, of course, everyone had thought of the same plan, which was to pretend to be defeated and return from the thief cavalry to open the gate of Dagu Pass.
"God will help us too, now that the sky is dark, it is a good time to cheat the city, but this plan is also a dangerous plan, which of you is willing to take on this heavy responsibility."
Li Zixiao looked at Han Tong, Huo Gang and Zhao Zilong, and asked.
"I, General, let me go." As soon as Li Zixiao finished speaking, Zhao Zilong shouted impatiently.
"Zilong, don't you need to be so loud, your ears are deafened by you, general, let your subordinates go down." Han Tong was not to be outdone.
"None of you are suitable, I think it's better for me to go." Huo Gang, who is not good at words, is not to be outdone at this time.
This is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and no one wants to lose the opportunity, especially Zhao Zilong is even more excited.
"Okay, don't fight, let Zilong go this time, Zilong, you go down and prepare, and select a batch of White Dragon Army.
The number of people should not be too much, two hundred people walked, and the provincial one aroused the vigilance of the thieves and defenders. ”
Li Zixiao instructed Zhao Zilong.
"Yes." Zhao Zilong was very excited, answered, and went down to pick someone.
