Chapter 1032: Raid Under the Rain Curtain

Although the retreat of the Northern Frontier Army was slow, it was still safe, and it did not give the Yizhou Army a chance to attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the tenth day of the first month of June, the fourth day of the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army, it was slowly moved to Dangyang.

Li Yi found a woods to rest the army.

"Kill!"

"Capture Li Yi alive!"

……

As soon as Li Yi sat down, he heard shouts of killing from the periphery.

"It's hateful seven or eight times a day, it's better to fight head-on." He was furious and stuck the overlord on the ground.

Jia Xu said helplessly: "Lord, this is a tired soldier's plan, you can't be tricked, you must be cautious." ”

However, it is not a way to let the enemy do this, Li Yi pondered for a while, and said: "Wenhe, it is better to let the cavalry of the Chinese army go out and rush to buy time for the infantry to rest." ”

The quantity and quality of cavalry in Northern Xinjiang are well-deserved to be the first in the world, but whether it is the knights of Northern Xinjiang or the war horses of the knights, they are now making trouble and their combat effectiveness has been greatly affected. But after all, with the help of horses, it is no better than the enemy's infantry.

Xu Maogong thought about it, then understood Li Yi's intentions, and said: "The cavalry retreats with the infantry, and the infantry is hurrying in the process, while the cavalry can rest on the horses. The idea of the lord can allow the infantry and cavalry to take turns to rest, which is still feasible. ”

So, from this moment on, Li Yi found Gao Changgong, Lu Bu, Xue Rengui, Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong, and asked them to lead their own cavalry outside, and expel the enemy who came to make trouble while resting. They are also outside while marching, and if there is an ambush, they will launch a cavalry assault.

………………

On a nameless hill.

Liu Bei looked at the sun, shook the big pu fan, and asked Pang Tong beside him: "Shiyuan, Li Yi's cavalry is really difficult, this tired plan can't be used." ”

Pang Tong was also very unhappy in his heart, and said that the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and there is a plan to go to the dark.

Pang Tong didn't speak, just looked at the sky, and saw a thin layer of clouds in the sky, as if covered with a white silk curtain.

Seeing this, Pang Tong was overjoyed and laughed: "June day, baby face, change when you say change." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, it was the second monk who was confused, and he didn't know what Pang Tong meant by such a sentence suddenly, so he asked: "Military advisor, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It may rain soon, and in the heavy rain, it is not conducive to the overall defense, but it will not hinder the arranged attack. The tired Northern Xinjiang Army in the heavy rain is like a worse situation, and our army is recuperated and will definitely be able to tear apart the tight defensive battle formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Pang Tong smiled.

In ancient times, there were no radios in warfare, and large armies had to be sophisticated to resist the all-pervasive attacks of their opponents. However, as a native of Jingzhou, Pang Tong knew that when it rained heavily in the summer, the rain between heaven and earth would be like a note, not only the vision would be greatly limited, but even the hearing would be completely limited, and it was difficult to command from a distance with horns and command flags, and it could only be transmitted orally, which made it difficult to quickly convey instructions.

Therefore, bad weather is very unfavorable for the defense side, especially in the field. The attacking side only needs to find a breakthrough to deal a heavy blow to the enemy's battle formation.

However, Liu Bei looked at the sky and said in his heart that the sun was on it, how could it rain?

However, the weather soon changed, and dark clouds continued to drift in from the south.

An hour later, I saw that the clouds in the sky were getting lower and thicker, and looking at the sun through the clouds was like a layer of frosted glass, hazy.

Pang Tongxi said: "There will be heavy rain in an hour, lord, beat the drums." ”

At this time, Liu Bei naturally saw the change in the weather, and was convinced of Pang Tong, and immediately asked the heralds to beat the drums and gather the generals.

Pang Tong took Liu Bei's sword and began to give orders, he enjoyed such a feeling of being on top, and said: "General Li Yan, General Zhou Cang, General Shamoke, General Liu Bi, General Wu Yi!" ”

"The last general!" The five of them bowed down and clasped their fists in worship, and they also admired Pang Tong's wisdom.

Pang Tong pointed to the silk map in the tent, which marked the distribution of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and ordered: "Your military horses have been repaired for a long time and have enough energy, and this is a good time to attack." From these directions, you cut into the enemy's formation, and then rush out from these directions. From these directions, cut into the enemy position again, and so on, the enemy army will be confused. ”

After Li Yan and the others received the order, Pang Tong took out a few more arrows and ordered: "General Meng Da, General Lei Tong, General Wu Ban ......"

"The last general!" Meng Da and the others will go out to worship together.

Pang Tong said: "You can rest first, and when General Li Yan and them cut into the enemy formation for the second time, you will cut in from several other directions." ”

At this time, Pang Tong pointed to the small flag representing Li Yi's Chinese army and said to all the generals: "Everyone is gathered in the center, and when you see Li Yi's honor guard, the big flag is the main formation of the Chinese army." I have only one request for you, to capture Li Yi alive. ”

"Yes, yes, capture Li Yi alive!" Liu Bei was overjoyed, and now Li Yi is like Tang Seng for him, he must be captured alive. captured alive, the north can go down without a fight, and the world is his.

"Whoa!" Li Yan and others responded with confidence.

Under the command of Pang Tong, Liu Bei's 200,000 Yizhou army was operational, gathered around the Northern Xinjiang Army, and only waited for the rain to make a surprise attack.

After everyone left, Pang Tong looked at the darkening clouds in the sky, moved his nose towards the sky, and said proudly: "Li Yi, even if you have a monstrous sky, but your army is not suitable for the environment in the south of the Yangtze River, the sky will destroy you, and you will die." ”

………………

When the sun is shining.

The 180,000 Northern Xinjiang Army was resting, dizzy and diarrhea due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil. However, because it has been in the Jianghan Plain for a while, the physical fitness of the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army is relatively good, and most of the soldiers have gradually adapted to the environment in the south of the Yangtze River, and their symptoms are gradually reducing, and their physical strength is also recovering.

And the generals Tai Shici, Lu Bu, and Xue Rengui have excellent physique, and they have fully recovered in the past few days.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shi Xushu, the head of the general's mansion, was reporting on the situation of various departments of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Xu Shu is a native of Yingchuan County, but he had traveled to Jingzhou in his early years, and even stayed in Lumen Mountain for a year or two, so he was able to adapt to the climate in the south, and he was one of the few people in the army who did not encounter water and soil adaptation.

At this time, there was a muffled thunder outside the sky, and the sky immediately darkened.

"Oh, it's going to rain!" Dian Wei scratched his head honestly and said.

"Nonsense, everyone in the Han knows it." Li Cunxiao pouted and said.

In the midst of lightning and rain, heavy rain poured down.

Jia Xu bumped into the big tent in the rain, looking panicked.

Li Yi was shocked and asked, "Wenhe, why are you so flustered?" ”

"Lord, it rains suddenly, and it's as dark as night outside, beware of enemy attacks." Jia Xu said anxiously.

As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, Xu Maogong and Liu Bowen also bumped in, and said, "Lord, it's not good, there is an enemy attack from the front army." ”

It seems that it has been discussed, and one after another, heralds have brought news from each battalion.

"Enemy attack on the left!"

"Enemy attack on the right!"

"Rear enemy attack!"

"In the heavy rain, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the enemy has, our troops have been fighting, please instruct the lord!"

……

Li Yi hurriedly braved the rain to come out of the tent, his big tent was the highest, and he could watch the situation of various departments during the day. However, at this moment, under the heavy rain, the surroundings were gray, and there was nothing to see but the rain.

At this time, the sound of fighting began to be heard all around, and it was getting closer and closer.

More than a dozen heralds from each department arrived, claiming that the headquarters had been penetrated by the enemy, and asked how to deal with the enemy.

The sound of fighting is getting louder and louder, shouting and killing, and the screams are endless. And the sound of weapons clashing, at some point, has drowned out the sound of heavy rain.

However, Li Yi's eyes were full of darkness, and the rain was flowing down his forehead, and he was a little dispossessed.

Nearly 200,000 troops, without a unified dispatch, can only fight on their own, being eaten away by the enemy one by one. And in the darkness of this day, there is no direction to see the enemy's advance. I don't know where there will be an ambush, and where is the direction of the enemy's main attack.

And the departments can't see the Chinese army, and the Chinese army can't use the order flag to quickly transmit orders, and if it is a single person, 200,000 troops, and the big battalion stretches for more than ten miles, how to pass it?

Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen, Jia Xu and Xu Shu and other military advisors and strategists were also embarrassed, they clenched their fists tightly, and let the rain hit their faces mercilessly, and suddenly there was no mistake.

Xu Maogong deserves to be the chief military advisor, he thought about it, then he had an idea, and said loudly to Li Yi: "Lord, it is impossible to judge the enemy's situation in the heavy rain, and it is difficult to pass the news out quickly. It is better to order all the departments to link up nearby, gather 350,000 soldiers and horses, and look north. It is also difficult for the enemy to transmit orders in the rain, and it is not easy to find the enemy in the rain, so the troops can avoid contact with the enemy and quickly approach. ”

The enemy has 200,000 troops, and its combat effectiveness is still above the Northern Xinjiang Army for the time being, so Li Yi cannot let his army stay where it is and be beaten. He agreed with Xu Maogong's proposal, and ordered the whole army to assemble nearby in the heavy rain, and after a certain scale, retreat to the north.

However, the enemy's raids were relentless.

"Suffer death!" Li Yan brandished a big knife and rushed forward, and the soldiers of the Yizhou Army behind him seemed to be as sharp as knives and guns, harvesting the lives of the Northern Xinjiang Army. His army entered from the southeast corner, and then from the southwest corner, and walked a big U-line. Along the way, the officers and men of the Northern Xinjiang Army fell to the ground, either dead or wounded.

"Haha, the military advisor has a brilliant plan. Where is Li Yi, where is Qin Li Yi! Every time Zhou Cang shouted, the big knife in his hand took the life of a soldier of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The Yizhou army led behind him was like a poisonous snake, and everywhere he passed, the corpses were like mountains.

"I am Shamoko, and if I have made great achievements, I will soon be the barbarian king!" Shamo Kehaha laughed, holding the iron thistle bones, and as soon as he smashed down, the soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army were torn apart. The barbarian army he led, like a real thistle, ejected out one by one, and on the route they passed, blood flowed like a river.

Coupled with the soldiers and horses of Wu Yi and Liu Bi, the army of 150,000 on the five routes frantically cut the battle formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
