Chapter 974 Rogda Hills

Yerusha Gao Pet and the others are all old men who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and Dongfang Jin will say what he thinks a little, and they have a general understanding of the plan of the Northern Dvina River. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info attack to seize the Istrian Heights, not only the Northern Dvina River, open up the Baltic Theater from the southwest, defeat the Essani Dynasty can also attack the Istrian Heights from the west. But no matter what you do, you will face a problem, that is, Kipros still maintains enough combat effectiveness. From November of the 4th year of Taikang to mid-March of the 5th year of Taikang, for several months, Viache used various methods to minimize the damage of the Great Plague, and the serf youth of several principalities near the Grand Duchy of Kiev were concentrated on the Istrian Heights, and for the final decisive battle, all men over the age of fifteen were organized, and there were more than 80,000 Slavic youth troops in the Istrian Heights. Maybe these people have a short training time, maybe these people haven't experienced the real battlefield, but under the pressure of life and death, who knows what kind of power they can burst out? It is always a little inappropriate to put everything on the final decisive battle in the Istrian Heights, for Ding ****, it has occupied an absolute advantage, and the risk should be minimized, from this point of view, Dongfang Jin is completely right to use the Northern Dvina River to consume the Slavs' vital forces. Yang Zaixing thought about it more, he didn't think how easy this plan was, the Slavs were not fools, would they be fooled?

Seeing Dongfang Jin sit down, Yang Zaixing sorted out his thoughts, walked to the battle map, and said with some concern, "Your Highness, judging from our previous battles with the principalities of Kipros, there is no shortage of wise men in Kipros, as far as the last general knows, Viache is scheming, Luo Weide is also scheming, we want to drag a large number of Slavic soldiers and horses by the North Dvina River, it is not so easy." There are two cities in the east and west of the North Dvina River basin, Surisk and Korinth are close to both ends of the river, and there are a large number of hilly landforms in the north of the river, even if we do our best, as long as the other party finds that something is wrong and wants to retreat, we will have no choice. Therefore, the last general thinks that the key to this battle is not in the frontal battlefield, but in the way we have the ability to take Surisk and Kolinsler by surprise and cut off the back road of the Slavs. ”

Yang Zaixing's remarks were a bit suspicious of destroying his prestige, Gao Zhong pursed his lips, and muttered with his hands, "Shao Lie, you underestimate us too much, although the northern part of the river is mostly hilly, but with our ability, it is not difficult to defeat them." ”

There are not a few people who think like high pets, and in the past few months, they have won successive battles, and now they have just wiped out the skinner, and they are even more arrogant. Yang Zaixing smiled wryly and pointed to the northern hills, "General Gao, I don't know if you have been to the northern hills, Yang personally went to the hills a few days ago, where the area is vast, the canyon is vertical and horizontal, and there are soldiers everywhere, and there is no shortage of people who are familiar with the terrain, they have deployed troops, if they sincerely deal with us, we want to eat each other in a short time, it is pure wishful thinking." In a head-to-head confrontation, we are naturally not afraid, we are afraid that others will not fight with us, and the Slavs concentrate their forces in the hilly area, I am afraid that they have the intention of using the terrain to deal with us. ”

Being preached like this by Yang Zaixing, Gao Zhong and the others lost their temper, they really didn't know much about the northern hills, they just thought that it was a highland landform with a radius of more than ten miles. Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong looked at each other and smiled, looking at Yang Zaixing's eyes with approval, in a few years, Yang Zaixing has really grown rapidly, I'm afraid it is no worse than Niu Gao, Han Shizhong and others. Today, Zhao Yougong is in a high position, and it is impossible to personally supervise the battle as before, so he desperately hopes that the generals under his command can mature like Niu Gao and others. Seeing that there was some coldness, Xiao Zhiyun had no choice but to stand up, motioned for Yang Zaixing to sit back first, and glanced at the generals, Xiao Zhiyun frowned solemnly, "What?" Don't you think what Shao Lie said makes sense? Did you win a few games before and you didn't know what your last name was? Hmph, there is a way that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, if you have such a mind to fight, let alone the Istrian Highlands, even the current Northern Dvina River may not be able to take it. The battle was to be commanded by Benfei herself, and Shaolie led the cavalry around from the west and attacked Suriysk. According to the normal situation, if you arrive in Sulysk from Yerinburg around the White Sea Lake, it will take at least three days, that is, from tomorrow, with a time limit of three days, no matter what method you use, the concubine must drag the Slavs in the hills. ”

After that, Xiao Zhiyun slapped the table and looked at Gao Chong and Yelusha with an unkind expression, "General Gao, General Yelu, looking at your appearance, it seems that you don't take the old Maozi in the hills seriously, in this case, the task of taking the lead in the main attack will be handed over to you." The concubine does not have high requirements for you, it is enough to destroy two thousand Slavs a day, of course, provided that you don't scare the Slavs away. ”

Gao Zhong smiled awkwardly, Yelu Sha, as a Khitan, did not dare to disobey Xiao Zhiyun's order, sat up straight and nodded. Xiao Zhiyun sneered in her heart, these arrogant soldiers should learn a lesson, if they don't suffer a loss, they still think that the Slavs are all paper paste. It's not a day or two that the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals have a heart of contempt, among which Gao Zhong and Yerusha are representatives, Yerusha is full of confidence in destroying the skinning family, and recently it has swelled to the point that it seems to be killed directly to the Teginets Manor. Shi Wengong did not envy the two colleagues at all, although he didn't know much about the local area, but he still trusted Yang Zaixing very much, since Yang Shaolie said that the terrain there was complicated, he would not be wrong. The discussion ended quickly, and Yang Zaixing was responsible for the raid on Surisk, so as soon as the discussion ended, Zhao Yougong was called to the second floor alone. Claire blinked her big bright eyes, her long blonde hair was silky over her shoulders, and her small mouth was pouted from time to time, obviously she still had a lot of complaints about the gladiatorial arena. Zhao Yougong was not in the mood to worry about Claire, and when he saw Yang Zaixing walking in, he said with a smile, "Shao Lie, sit down first." The raid on Surisk is a matter of success or failure in the whole battle, and this king wants to hear your thoughts. ”

As a mature general, Yang Zaixing had already been prepared, "Your Highness, the last general feels that the success rate of the sneak attack on Surisk is still very large, and there is no longer the power of the Slavs in the White Sea and the area of Lake Ladoga. There are some small towns, and the general thinks that if he is fast enough, he can reach Suriysk before the Slavs react. ”

There are some things that Yang Zaixing is inconvenient to say clearly, of course, Zhao Yougong can also understand. Sometimes, for military purposes, there is no distinction between civilians and enemy troops, and several villages and towns between Lake Ladoga and Suriysk remain, and many Slavs do not want to leave their homeland and continue to live here. These villages and towns must be able to go around, and if they can't, in order to ensure the success of the sneak attack plan, they have no choice but to be ruthless. Zhao Yougong is not a benevolent person, how could he blame Yang Zaixing, "Shao Lie, it's good that you know it in your heart, after you arrive in the area of Ladoga Lake, it's up to you to make your own decisions on what to do, don't worry too much." We came here from the east, we were conquerors, we wanted victory, as long as we win, we are the righteous side, we can rule this place openly, defeated, then we can only let others say. ”

"Shao Lie understands, His Highness can rest assured that the last general will definitely live up to his trust and take Surisk in one fell swoop" Yang Zaixing stood up, his eyes full of determination. For a long time, the relationship between Yang Zaixing and Zhao Yougong has been a bit special, and as the general of the mansion, he has more responsibility to undertake those important and dangerous tasks, and he has no regrets about Yang Zaixing.

On March 22 of the fifth year of Taikang, 20,000 Ding****, mainly foot soldiers, launched an attack on the Rogda hills of the Northern Dvina River, and the largest battle in Kipros after the beginning of spring began. The battle of the Rogda hills, which was related to the future ownership of the Istrian heights, became the battle that decided the fate of Kipros, and the Slavs knew the importance of the Rogda hills, but instead no longer rushed and fought as before, but made full use of the terrain advantages of its hills, mainly involving and small-scale sneak attacks. The Rogda hills stretch for dozens of miles from east to west, the hills are constantly undulating, the wave posture, the highest place reaches more than 100 zhang, the high slope of the ground is also more than 10 zhang, the wave valley is some narrow and long, some are wide, many times there are wave valleys in the valley, after rushing into many places, it is like a labyrinth. Gao Zhong and the others didn't take the Rogda Hills seriously at first, and they hadn't commanded the hill battle before, so they were still confident, but after fighting for two hours, they saw sweat on their foreheads. The area of the hills is very large, more than 20,000 people spread out, the roots do not show anything, the Slavs do not fight head-on at all, as soon as they show up, they drill into the trough, and after a while they disappear, and as soon as they follow up, many Slavic ambushes appear on the high slopes on both sides. After such a repetition, your side has already suffered a lot, but after you concentrate your forces to capture a certain area of high slopes, the Slavs will run away and do not show their heads. I don't know when the Slavs played guerrilla warfare so badly.

Yerusha's face is a little dark, and he is good at the kind of large-scale regular confrontation of infantry and cavalry, especially cavalry confrontation, and storming the hills, which is not good at it. Now it's good, in the face of the rogue tricks of the Slavs, there is nothing to do.

Han Qi ..... Han Qi, where did you die, bring more people to occupy that high slope, do you see there... Yes, it is the highest mountain, as long as it occupies it, it can be controlled within a radius of two miles, and it is necessary to beat out this group of ground rats" Yerusha was angry, and thousands of soldiers and horses were scurrying around like headless flies, this feeling was not comfortable at all. Han Qi dared to disagree, he ordered more than 1,000 people to rush to the nearby high slope, to reach that high slope, it took a few troughs to pass, it was smooth at first, but when it came to the third trough, it was a little difficult. This generation is constantly undulating, the troughs are uneven, and the soldiers need to spread out in formation in order to pass. At this time, the steep change protruded, and many Slavs on the high slope ahead rushed over with various weapons, dung forks, hoes, wooden sticks, these Slavs were all big shoulders and round waists, not to mention dung forks, even if the wooden sticks were rounded, it was enough for a person to drink a pot. At this time, the Slavs were condescending, the roar shook the sky, and the momentum was very strong, and with the momentum of rushing down, many **** soldiers were caught off guard, and the momentum was suppressed by the Slavs for a while.

Han Qi's troops were not many, but the incident happened suddenly, the men and horses behind couldn't rush up, the Slavs concentrated their forces, and for a while Han Qi's people were blocked in the trough and dizzy. After a while, hundreds of soldiers were knocked to the ground by the Slavs, and Han Qi was also attacked by the Slavs, and he was hit with a fork of dung on his buttocks, and he screamed in pain, he was angry and hateful. Seeing that there was less and less discipline on his side, Han Qi covered his buttocks, held the knife in his right hand and roared angrily, "Withdraw, withdraw quickly, don't rush forward for the people behind, the rear team will become the front team, rush out first." ”

The retreat was not so smooth, many Slavs came out of the trough that had passed smoothly before, and Han Qi's rear soldiers and horses were made to jump, and the loss was not too great, but it was tossed in a mess, and it couldn't play its due combat effectiveness at all. After being harassed, Han Qi also had some doorways, and called the deputy general to order, "The people leading you will launch an attack on that high slope and attract the Slavs over, as long as the Slavs rush towards you, quickly retreat to the north, don't go south, retreat to the northwest along the crest." The Slavs also understood the importance of the high slope, and when they saw that someone was not afraid of death to concentrate their forces to attack the high ground, they immediately threw down the soldiers and horses in the valley and rushed towards the high slope with shouting. Seeing that the plan was working, Han Qi shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, the opportunity has come, everyone follow Lao Tzu to the north and retreat along the crest." ”

Since his debut, Han Qi has experienced large and small wars, from the Battle of Wuzhou City to the bloody Battle of Yongding River, from a small soldier to a commander, and he has never been so cowardly. However, he knows very well that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so don't care about his face now, escape first, otherwise he will be blocked here, and he will be picked up by the Slavs sooner or later.

Han Qi's judgment was not bad, most of the Slavs' troops were hidden in the dark of the trough, there were not many people on the backbone of the crest, and the retreat was quite smooth, but after escaping from the hills, he almost didn't shed tears, and in just one hour, more than 1,000 people under his command lost more than 300, which was almost dead. Yelusha was waiting for the good news, but what he got was the news of Han Qi's fiasco, and he was so angry that he wanted to go into battle in person, "Han Qi, how did you lead the troops, so many people, you were defeated." ”

"General.... It's really bearded people who can hide too much...."Han Qi blushed for a while, and he even got a dung fork on his buttocks.
