Chapter 123: Victory (1)
After the black-clothed cavalry crossed the mound to the north, they continued to gallop towards the Jin army. As they run, their formation spreads out to the wings, like a giant black hawk spreading its wings and about to pounce.
Although it is a plain, the terrain is not completely regular. The direction of the black-clothed cavalry drew an arc along the undulating terrain, detouring from the northwest to the northeast, and finally rushing to the high slope where the Jin army was located. The distance of three or five miles passed in an instant under the full speed of the war horse, and after dozens of breaths, everyone had vaguely seen the sharp blade of the spear held high, and the hideous and bloodthirsty face.
Zhu Sheng was right, the number of enemy horsemen was not less than three thousand. Looking at the rhythm of their natural ups and downs when riding horses, and the momentum of their peers when they change formations, they are undoubtedly 'elite' sharp.
The 800 cavalry of the Jin army were ready to inflict the final blow on the Changshan bandits, so all the men and horses stopped and waited to fight. But in the face of a completely unexpected enemy, many soldiers were a little flustered. Lu Yao heard a 'commotion' in the team behind him, and the sound of people whispering to each other was like the wind. Even a few of the horses neighed and stomped on all fours, the result of the knight's nervousness being transmitted to the horses.
"General!" Chen Pei rode close to Lu Yao and shouted. The sudden number of enemies was huge, and most of the Jin army's strength was still entangled with the Changshan bandits, and the team was only 800 horsemen. At this time, it seems that it is not a good choice to fight or retreat. But the enemy cavalry is about to be killed, and Lu Yao, as the main general, must react immediately!
Lu Yao didn't pay attention to it, just stared at the enemy cavalry that rushed to kill.
When the enemy horse appeared, he was no less surprised than others, and his face was still a little pale until this moment. But he quickly regained his composure. He raised his hand to 'touch' and 'touch' the forehead horn, and the blood vessels that touched the forehead horn beat slightly, and it was the heart beating violently, pumping hot blood into the brain. The more tense the environment, Lu Yao always felt that the quicker his thinking and the more judgmental he was.
The mountains of Daidi stretch, the terrain is complex and changeable, and only the terrain of hundreds of miles around the center of Zhishodai County is flat. At this moment, the place where the two armies fought was located in the westernmost part of the plain, where the remaining veins of the mountains gradually flattened, forming a series of raised mounds, extending eastward for several miles or ten miles, and gradually disappearing into the wilderness.
These mounds were neither very high nor steep, and could be climbed effortlessly without climbing, and though overgrown with trees and weeds, they were not dense enough to hide troops. Therefore, Lu Yao and other generals did not pay much attention to this terrain. But Zhu Sheng should not neglect to inspect this continuous earthen hill.
In fact, it is impossible to cover the entire battlefield with a small number of scout cavalry, and how to make the most effective use of the scout's forces, identify where to focus on investigation, and where only to pay a little attention, depends on the general's vision. Zhu Sheng has some talent for reconnaissance in front of the enemy, and in the past few days, he and his subordinate spies have been running day and night, and the information from all over the county has flowed into Lu Yao's hands, no matter how big or small, no matter what is missing.
He is definitely a qualified scout leader, but why did he not know anything about such an enemy cavalry raid beforehand?
It's a pity that Zhu Sheng has fainted to death and can't answer Lu Yao's question. He was struck by two arrows in the back, one in the shoulder blade and one in the side, and the spring of blood stained the horse's back red. Two of his own soldiers carried him off his horse and were tearing open his armor and bandaging him.
"General! The enemy is near, what should we do? Chen Pei asked loudly again.
At this moment, with Lu Yao, only Chen Pei, who was the governor of Chengdu, has the most rich combat experience. He knew very well that what he was facing before him was not just a problem of being outnumbered.
Of course, Lu Yao's Chinese soldiers are all 'elite', but some of these soldiers are descendants of Jisang thieves, and a considerable number of them are recruited locally from Daijun, from the Hu clan or horse thief gangs in Daijun. No matter where they came from, they were still in a hostile position with the Jin army for just over a month, even a few days ago. These soldiers have no identification with the imperial court, and they do not have the slightest idea of meritorious service to the frontier and horse leather shroud, the reason why Lu Yao was able to drive them to Ruyi was because of severe punishment, generous rewards, and continuous victories.
After all, such an army cannot be compared with a regular army that has undergone long-term training and support. These soldiers are accustomed to victory, and can only accept victory, and if they do not see the hope of victory, they are likely to collapse...... This is the case with the Chinese army, and the same is true for the troops of Ding Miao, Xue Tong, Liu Yao and others who are fighting on the front line!
Chen Pei had already seen that Liu Fei, who was a little far away from Lu Yao, made a few hidden gestures to his subordinates. Obviously, the former giant under the command of Jisang did not have the will to die for the country. And Chen Pei's own subordinates 'exchanged' each other's eyes, and they were already full of uneasy emotions. Chen Pei didn't know if Lu Yao knew what the current problem was, but on this occasion, he couldn't tell Lu Yao directly...... If that happens, I'm afraid that the soldiers will no longer have the will to fight.
I finally got rid of the miserable days of being trapped in Jisang thieves, is I going to die in the northern Xinjiang? Chen Pei was anxious.
Lu Yao suddenly laughed softly.
I see, I see. I and Shao Xu, Hu Liuniang and others calculated the situation in every possible way, and put a lot of effort into it, but who would have thought that there would still be mistakes. There really is no god plan in this world. It is impossible for any one plan to take all variables into account, and it must always be constantly adjusted in accordance with the ever-changing actual environment. The process of adjustment, that is, the process of continuously investing resources in response to changes in the situation. The side that invests more and is more effective will win, without exception.
Now it's time to invest resources again, and as a soldier, what is his most powerful resource? Lu Yao himself knows best, that is the perseverance and strong desire for victory!
Lu Yao turned around and arched his hand to Shao Xu: "If it weren't for Shao Gong's reminder, I would have almost been framed by Murong Longcheng." ”
The enemy cavalry was still some distance away, but the sound of shouting and killing drifted in the wind. Even the generals were flustered and 'chaotic', not to mention Shao Xu, a pure literati. Shao Xu's face was almost blue, he clutched the reins tightly, and reluctantly replied: "General, what are you talking about Murong Longcheng at this time......
Lu Yao looked at Shao Xu and looked up to the sky and laughed.
Everyone was shocked, but he was full of ambition, as if everything was in the palm of his hand: "Shao Gong, that Murong Longcheng is really a powerful person. The inscrutable nature of his actions was something I didn't understand until this moment. He marched eastward with his army and fought a decisive battle with our army here. In fact, the decisive battle is fake, and the goal is to single-handedly push all the Changshan tribes that disobey him to death. Before the decisive battle, this person pretended to be an envoy to write a letter in person, and in the letter, he carefully explained his intention to be close to the court. But this intention is still false. If we listen to his nonsense and attack boldly with confidence, then this cavalry surprise will suddenly rise and destroy our army in one fell swoop. ”
"If what I expected, this cavalry is not a local soldier of Daijun, but a subordinate of the Tuoba Lu officer. They did not hide near the battlefield, but set out in the early morning and drove from the depths of Yanshan Mountain in the north of Daijun, which made the sentinels along the way unable to react! Lu Yao took the iron spine spear from his rider, and with a slight dance, the iron spear made a buzzing trembling sound. He looked around at the generals around him and continued: "Fortunately, because of Shao Gong's reminder, our Chinese army has always been 'fine' and has not been put into battle. This made Murong Longcheng's plot completely unsuccessful...... We have won this battle! ”
Lu Yao summoned a few of his own soldiers and ordered them to cover Shao Xu, Hu Liuniang, Zhu Sheng and other unbearable fighters to retreat to the rear, and then raised his breath and shouted: "He Yun! ”
He Yun stepped forward immediately: "Here!" ”
When Lu Yao was still the military master under Sima Teng, He Yun was his subordinate. Since the Daling fiasco, He Yun has been born and died with Lu Yao many times, and I can't count it. Although the enemy was surging at this moment, He Yun's face did not change his 'color', and he did not take the black-clothed cavalry in his eyes at all.
Lu Yao asked: "Let me ask you, during the Jinyang War a year ago, I defeated Qiao Xi, the champion general of the Huns, in Qi County, and beheaded Qiao Xi. How many of us were there at that time? How many were there in the Huns? ”
He Yun replied loudly: "Our army is less than 100 cavalry, and Qiao Xi's department is no less than 6,000!" ”
"After killing Qiao Xi, I annihilated all the Xiongnu general Shi Lesuo in Tuanbai Valley. How many of us were there at that time? How many were there in the Huns? ”
"Our army is only six hundred, and the Huns are ten times larger than our army!"
"Let's talk about the battle of Yecheng. When I was killing Jisang outside the 'spring' and 'gate', how many of us were? How many people are there in Jisang? ”
"Our army only has dozens of cavalry in formation, and the Jisang army has newly broken Ye City, and the thieves are surging, which is more than a hundred times that of me!"
The Huns once established a powerful Hu regime that fought against the Han Dynasty, driving Hu Er in the north of the country like a lackey, and the prestige of hundreds of years has long been deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts. Thinking that the general Lu in front of him had defeated the Hun army with fewer victories and many victories, the tension of the soldiers was suddenly relieved a lot. When the soldiers from the old department heard these words, they were ashamed, and then they suddenly remembered the incredible defeat of that day. Thinking that Lu Yao was also invincible after entering Daijun, many people suddenly had confidence.
But Lu Yao laughed: "As long as the soldiers are strong and brave, and the top and bottom are united, a little 'fine' riding is enough to cut the flag." What's more, there are as many as 800 iron horsemen at this moment? He Yun, are you willing to make contributions to the battlefield with me? ”
He Yun said enthusiastically: "Those Xianbei people came from a long journey, and they looked fierce, but in fact, they were only afraid that they were half tired to death. I'm only worried that they won't be able to withstand the onslaught of our iron cavalry, so that I won't be happy to kill! ”
"Worried about killing you badly?" Lu Yao squinted at He Yun, waved his spear and drew a semicircle behind him: "Then you have to tell the brothers first, don't kill all the enemies, leave a few for you!" ”
Chen Pei laughed and said, "Little brother of the He family, it's okay to keep three or five, but it's okay to have more...... The sons and daughters will also be beheaded for merit, and after this battle is over, everyone is counting on being promoted to become rich! ”
The army roared yes, and their morale soared.
