Chapter 1025: Change of Goals

Scouts flew in. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"General Lei, ten miles away from us, I saw the enemy's cavalry." The scout said sweatingly.

Lei Tong was taken aback and asked nervously, "How many people?" How many people are there? ”

The scout said uncertainly, "Estimated in the thousands." ”

"Order the troops, stop the advance, form a dense formation, and prepare to block the enemy." Lei Tong shouted loudly, "Send someone to inform General Liu Bi, quickly move closer to our department, and the enemy's cavalry unit has appeared." ”

The drum beats.

The Yellow Turban soldiers quickly gathered together and set up a defensive position.

"General Lei, aren't we going to retreat?" At this time, several military commanders of the Yizhou Army drove horses to come and asked.

"General Lei, the enemy has thousands of cavalry, I'm afraid we can't deal with it."

……

Lei Tong waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said proudly: "General Liu Bi has expected that the enemy may attack us, so the Chinese army following us is actually the main force, more than 40,000 people are here, and it is now ten miles away from us. There are 50,000 more on our right flank, eight miles from us. All we have to do is hold back here a little, and then we will feign defeat and lure the enemy into the encirclement, and the main force will fight it. ”

"How can there be troops on our right flank?" A military commander asked in surprise.

Lei Tong's eyes widened, and he scolded loudly: "Just obey my orders, why do you ask a lot?" Want to die? ”

………………

Xue Rengui saw Wei Yue rushing over like crazy, and hurriedly hit his horse to meet him.

Wei Yue said loudly: "General, Poshan has found traces of enemy troops. ”

"Pershan?" Xue Rengui repeated in surprise, "Poshan? Isn't Pershan on the right side of Liu Xuan's troops? Where are there enemy troops? ”

"Yes, the news is very accurate, and it was reported by a local lieutenant commander himself. I've sent someone to check it, and it's about 50,000 horses. ”

Xue Rengui unfolded the map, his face showed a look of horror, and said, "Lei Tong's location is an ambush circle. ”

Wei Yue nodded and said, "Yes." The troops must retreat immediately, and they will not be able to do so. ”

"Retreat." Xue Rengui shouted at the heralds, "Inform all the subordinates and immediately retreat in the direction of Dangyang." ”

The heralds immediately dispersed and galloped away.

Although Xue Rengui was a little surprised that his actions were discovered by the enemy, he was prepared. First of all, the place of battle is Liu Biao's territory, and someone will definitely contact Liu Biao or Liu Bei. In addition, before leaving, the lord also repeatedly explained that Liu Bei's military advisor Pang Tong was an extremely strategic person, and he was in no way inferior to any of the seven military divisions of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

On the way to withdraw the army, Xue Rengui suddenly thought: since Liu Bei calculated his plan this time, and his attention was focused on Xiaofang Mountain in the north of Yiling, why couldn't he raid Lingbao in the south of Yiling? The Bud Department is on its way to Zhicheng, and must be unprepared.

He immediately called a few generals and said what he thought. After careful discussion, everyone felt that the odds of victory were very high, and they could fight. There are only a few difficulties, one is the exact location of the Lingbao troops. If he had already rushed to Zhicheng, he would naturally not be able to raid. The second is to go to Zhicheng for more than 300 miles, and in order to be in a hurry, it is necessary to march day and night. If you raid the enemy in such a situation, the soldiers and horses will be very tired, the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced, and the casualties will also increase. If the casualties are too great, is it necessary to fight this battle?

Xue Rengui thinks that it is necessary to fight, and it must be fought.

After defeating the Lingbao Division, the flank of Liu Beijun's main force was completely exposed in front of the Northern Xinjiang Army, which posed a certain threat to them. Zhicheng is in the hands of the Northern Frontier Army, which can effectively delay the enemy's attack. If he was entangled with the Lingbud Department in Zhicheng, it would not help to prevent Liu Bei from joining Liu Biao. The defeat of Liu Beijun's Lingbao Department had a great impact on Liu Beijun's going to Jiangling City to join Liu Biao's army, which was far greater than the annihilation of Liu Biao's army.

………………

Xue Rengui was lucky. The marching rhythm of the Yizhou Army's Lingbao Army was very well controlled, and they kept moving slowly. Ling Bao thought that this could ensure that the soldiers had strong combat effectiveness and abundant physical strength, because the Northern Xinjiang Army could move south at any time, and after arriving in Jiangling, it would definitely face a bloody battle.

Today, they rushed to Zhijiang Pavilion, sixty miles away from Zhicheng.

Blue sky, clean and spotless. The white floating clouds floated leisurely in the air. The white sun was delicate and weak, lazily looking at the endless Jianghan Plain below.

It's a huge plain, a land of ointment.

It's the middle of May, and I've heard that there is going to be a big war, so the crops in the fields have been harvested by the nearby residents.

Standing on the great plain, looking around, there was an indescribable sense of comfort and joy in her heart. Ling Bao grew up in Yizhou since she was a child, and she is used to seeing the mountains that connect the sky and the earth, but she has never seen such an endless plain. That kind of emptiness, that kind of majestic emptiness, makes people feel refreshed, and they can't help but shout.

"Ah......h He thought of countless dead comrades-in-arms, and remembered his lord Liu Yan, who yelled with all his might, letting tears soak his eyes.

He was originally just an ordinary soldier, but it was the lord Liu Yan who discovered him in the ranks and made him a famous general in Xichuan. However, after the death of the lord, he was unable to assist the young master Liu Zhang to do something, and even the young master's life could not be saved, which made Ling Bao have a kind of spirit in the sky that has no face to see the lord again after he dies.

He felt the earth tremble, he felt the sun tremble, he felt the sky spin.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves broke the silence on the plain and woke up the bud that was immersed in grief. The scouts of the Huang Yizhou army rushed from the rear of the army from seven or eight different directions like frightened birds.

Ling Bud had just been released from a relaxed heart, and suddenly it beat violently.

Big thing, big thing, so many scouts running back at the same time, something big must have happened.

As a native of Xichuan, Ling Bao is not tall, but strong and powerful, with a pair of vicissitudes of black face covered with dense fine wrinkles, short beards like needles, and a pair of melancholy eyes that seem to have endless sadness.

He stood silently on the plain, silently looking at the galloping soldiers, and suddenly felt that the ground was really shaking, not his own hallucination.

He shook his whole body and roared violently: "Beat the drum and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

The fierce and passionate war drums rose into the sky, resounding through the empty plains, echoing between the empty heaven and earth.

"General, general, enemy cavalry, enemy cavalry......" The scout who arrived first was drenched in sweat, out of breath, and slurred.

Ling Bao's face was as usual, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many people?" ”

The scout panicked and said, "I can't count, I can't count......"

"General, the enemy's cavalry has suddenly killed us from behind...... other scouts arrived one after another, all of them looking like dirt and out of breath with nervousness.

"How many? Whose flag? Ling Bud asked calmly and quietly.

"There are too many, there are about tens of thousands of people in sight."

"It's Xue Rengui, a fierce general in Northern Xinjiang, and we saw his battle flag."

"It's only three miles from us, it's only three miles away."

……

The scouts said babblingly.

Ling Bao's heart suddenly sank, and a chill rushed to his brain.

Xue Rengui? The news sent by Liu Bei yesterday also said that Xue Rengui's cavalry was near Xiaofang Mountain, why did they cross more than 300 miles overnight and run to Zhijiang Pavilion? Do you need to fly?

"Do you see clearly?" Ling Bud asked solemnly.

Several scouts nodded together and said loudly: "General, we did see clearly, it was the cavalry of Xue Rengui, the general of Northern Xinjiang. ”

Ling Bao's heart almost jumped out of her heart as the ground shook more and more strongly. Cavalry, we're finally going to face off against cavalry. Conquer the world, invincible northern cavalry. A duel with such an army is not a pleasure in life.

Fight until you die in battle. A smile appeared on Ling Bao's face, and he gave several orders one after another:

"Order, the rear army becomes the front army, the former army becomes the rear army, prepare for the battle."

"The three armies immediately deployed their positions intensively, echelon defense, and the longer the depth, the better."

"The spearmen and shield men of the rear army immediately assembled in the front formation, and the archers followed."

"Push all the cars to the front and form a formation."

……

The drums of war sounded like a burst, resounding from all corners of the army, one after another. All kinds of battle flags fly in the air, colorful and dazzling. The heralds were like the swallows in the fields before the rainstorm, moving in and out of the formation of the army, busy and busy.

Ling Bud gave orders in succession, one after another.

At this moment, his heart is like water, and he will no longer be in waves. He kept looking at the sky on the great plains, looking forward to the spectacular scene of thousands of galloping horses before his eyes.

The horizon in the distance is the dividing line between blue and black.

Between heaven and earth, a big flag suddenly rushed out, a black Chinese character flag. It's like a ghost, breaking through the sky.

Then the fiery red banner rushed out, and then a dense crowd of cavalry warriors poured out.

"Drumming...... Responding to the battle......" Ling Bud waved the battle flag with all his strength, galloped wildly, and kept shouting loudly in his mouth.

Under the repeated encouragement of the commander and the encouragement of the war drums, the officers and men of Yizhou were full of enthusiasm, their morale was like a rainbow, and they regarded death as home.

………………

Xue Rengui received the news of the scout, and his heart was ecstatic.

If a person is lucky, then luck is like a flood beast, which cannot be stopped.

Being able to intercept the Yizhou army on the plain of Zhijiang Pavilion as they wished was originally a luxury.

The cavalry can give full play to all its strengths and strengths on the plains, and can attack and kill the infantry, especially those who lack sufficient training like the Yizhou army.

It's a miracle that a dream can become a reality.
