Chapter 864: Deadly Stupidity

(The power has been out during the day, sorry!) Thank you for your support from Ocean-Love, Demon Heart Cub, Sky No. 9, Heavenly Sword Dance Fragrance, and Gas Stove. )——

Li Jing agreed to Yang Lin's request to send troops to rescue Li Siyuan.

"Li Si'an, the master of the Xiao cavalry, Dong Zhang, the master of the martial cavalry! Listen to orders! ”

"The end will be." Li Jing's ninth and eleventh disciples heard the order and answered loudly.

Li Jing glanced at the two young disciples, in the past few years, the performance of the two has also been remarkable, but if compared with the performance of Liu Xun, Gao Siji and others, who are also senior brothers, they seem a little too ordinary. As the disciples of Li Jing, the king of Qin, and there are outstanding brothers such as Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang, they are expected to be higher by the Qin army. However, Li Jing knew that these two people were by no means ordinary, and they could achieve higher glory, but they had never gotten that opportunity.

But they are ready, these two shining stars in history, after several years of waiting, the hidden dragon is in the abyss, and now it is time to soar into the sky.

"Lone ordered the two of you to lead the cavalry of your headquarters to immediately send troops and immediately go to the rescue of Li Siyuan." After a pause, Li Jing said again: "If Li Siyuan is at the mouth of the Great Wall, then he will annihilate Hu Bing in one fell swoop." If Li Siyuan is not at the mouth of the Great Wall, but is still in the place where he is separated from Staff Officer Yang, then rescue Li Siyuan, but. ”

"After rescuing Li Siyuan, I want you to lose to Hu Bing and retreat all the way to the mouth of the Great Wall."

Li Si'an, nicknamed the flying general, was born with a resolute and brave face. Usually he is silent and rarely speaks. At this time, I couldn't help frowning. "My lord, there are only 20,000 Hu cavalry miscellaneous soldiers, and the 5,000 soldiers of my Xiao cavalry army are enough to annihilate them, even if you want to rescue Li Siyuan, plus the armed cavalry army, it is already more than enough, why bother to defeat?"

Li Jing smiled, "You also said that the mere 20,000 Hu Qi are just some miscellaneous fish, since that's the case." Our appetite certainly doesn't stop there. Lone let you deceive you, naturally to lure the enemy, but it was not these 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers who were lured! ”

Jing Xiang's eyes lit up on the side, and he already understood something in his heart.

"Your Highness wants to catch a big fish?"

"If you want to fish, you can catch big fish, and small fish and small shrimp are not interested." Li Jing smiled faintly.

In a war, a very important thing is not to let the enemy always control the initiative, and we must not always drag the passive side along, and the rhythm must be controlled by our own hands. Li Jing's plan is actually very simple, first send 10,000 horsemen to rescue Li Siyuan, and at the same time lure them over. He led his troops to set up an ambush at the mouth of the Great Wall, and then annihilated 20,000 Zahu in one fell swoop. Of course. As he said, this was not his ultimate goal. He planned to draw his banner of King Qin at the mouth of the Great Wall to lure the enemy again.

"The last general commands!" After understanding that King Qin did not look down on the combat effectiveness of their two armies, but wanted to catch bigger fish, Li Si'an and Dong Zhang's two generals immediately received the order.

Li Si'an immediately led the cavalry, and Dong Zhang led the cavalry under the leadership of Yang Lin, and the constellation went to the rescue.

Subsequently, Li Jing ordered Qiu Shengong, the main commander of the Leopard Cavalry, Xuancheng, the main leader of the Flying Bear Army, and Li Wei, the main commander of the Yingyang Army, to lead the infantry of the headquarters, plus the three armies of the guards and guards led by Wang Chong, the three guards and horses of the three guards led by Gao Sixiang, Qin Zongshou, and Guo Zhenhai, and the vanguard second army of the Iron Cavalry Corps led by Gao Rong and the township soldiers, Hu cavalry, and Xuejun, followed closely and moved in the direction of Huai'an.

Li Si'an and Dong Zhang's two cavalry marched rapidly with banners.

But then Li Jing personally led most of the troops, but the banners and drums were silent, the people were ranked, the horses were wrapped in hooves, and even the torches were not allowed to be beaten, and the army only relied on the moonlight of the night to advance.

The vanguard of the Iron Cavalry Legion, the vanguard of the Second Army, asked to speed up the march, but the reply in exchange was: "Those who dare to raise fire are killed!" ”

Li Si'an's second army is in the light, and his troops and horses are in the dark, he will never let the Hu people discover them in advance, so that they startled the grass and the snake and frightened away the miscellaneous fish. Although Li Jing's target is the big fish, this trash fish is not allowed to escape.

The Xiao cavalry army and the armed cavalry soldiers galloped on both horses, like a galloping wind, but Yang Lin always felt slow. Li Jing originally arranged for Yang Lin and the 100 Shatuo soldiers to stay in Broken Cloud Ridge, but Yang Lin insisted on being a military guide despite his exhaustion, and even none of the 100 Shatuo soldiers were willing to stay.

"Hurry up, please hurry up a little more!" In Broken Cloud Ridge, after listening to Li Jing's troop transfer, Yang Lin also knew that maybe what Li Siyuan said about holding on to the Great Wall and waiting for reinforcements was just a lie that made him leave with peace of mind at that time, and they may have already been surrounded by the Hu people. Fighting side by side these days when they fought together to break through made this Han scribe really regard Li Siyuan and other Shatuo people as brothers in life and death in his heart. He was responsible for moving the rescuers, so he had to bring the reinforcements back, and he had to bring them back as soon as possible.

Every moment of delay, I don't know how many soldiers will die in Lu Dao, and he doesn't know if Lu Dao Li Siyuan can hold out until the moment when reinforcements arrive!

However, Li Si'an and Dong Zhang did not speed up again, for the two, the will of King Qin was their iron hooves. Li Siyuan they will save, but they have their own rhythm. Cavalry marching, even if they gallop to help, cannot move at full speed at will, they must maintain their spare strength and be ready to fight at any time. Moreover, they also believed that Li Siyuan, who was so valued by the King of Qin, would never be annihilated so easily.

If Li Siyuan can't wait for them to rescue, he can only say that he is incompetent.

"Faster!" Yang Lin, who clenched his teeth and followed behind Li Si'an, shouted.

"Don't worry, this speed doesn't seem to be the fastest, but it's more stable, this is the fastest speed to reach the battlefield and rescue Li Siyuan."

The nights in June are always exceptionally short!

June under the Great Wall has also become extremely hot, and the temperature at this time is bearable for the Shatuo army, who has lived in the land of Daibei for decades. But for those grassland tribes from the north of Yinshan, especially those tribes from the north of Mobei, this hot weather has even become their most terrible enemy.

During the day they drank water and had to hide in the shade of the trees at the foot of the mountain to fend off the fireballs from the sky. But even so. The heat is still unbearable. Only in the evening. The cool evening breeze made them feel a little more comfortable.

However, on such a night, Ironwood Thorn and Ghost Chi'er could not sleep peacefully.

During the day today, they finally blocked the exhausted Shatuo defeated army again, and Li Siyuan's banner fluttered high, making the eyes of all the Hu people red as blood.

Li Siyuan couldn't run anymore, so they finally stopped, and retreated to a small valley on the bank of the Dongyang River, where they cut down trees and piled them at the mouth of the valley. A ditch was also dug temporarily, and a lot of sharp piles were inserted. However, Temurat was overjoyed, and when the flying Shatuo cavalry began to stop galloping, but hid in a small valley, trying to resist stubbornly, it already showed that these Shatuo people were completely cornered.

More than 20,000 tribal troops who pursued all the way surrounded the small valley.

Then, instead of attacking immediately, they drew lots to decide the fate of the task of besieging the valley, and the rest of the lucky ones rushed into the Dongyang River one after another. I took a good shower, and then hid in the trees to rest.

There was not only a hot fireball outside. The heat made them unable to attack, and the day and night of pursuit made them really tired. Since the Shatuo people have been blocked in the small valley, then, rest first, and when you have enough spirits, after dark, you can just enter the valley in one fell swoop and destroy them.

After dark, Temu Thorn held a meeting with the tribal leaders of the 20,000 Hu army, and everyone discussed while eating roast horse meat.

"The sons and daughters have already raised enough strength, light torches and fight at night tonight, and we must kill these damn Shatuo pups!" Tiemu Thorn said viciously, they had judged the right direction of Li Siyuan's breakthrough, but they did not stop Li Siyuan, six thousand people intercepted four thousand defeated soldiers, but they let the other party escape from under their noses, which is simply a great shame. What made him even more angry was that they chased for a day and a night, but suffered heavy losses. From besieging Li Siyuan in that cottage to now, more than 30,000 Hu soldiers have dealt with more than 10,000 defeated soldiers, five days have passed, and they have lost more than 10,000 people, but Li Siyuan still has more than 3,000 people. If you add the Hu soldiers killed by Li Siyuan in the first battle of Niupiguan and the first battle of Baishuiluo, a total of 40,000 Hu people have died at the hands of Li Siyuan. Even if those are mostly old and weak with bait, it is very heart-wrenching for the tribes. If they don't be destroyed immediately, they will really become the laughing stock of the tribes.

Gao Tansheng of the Goguryeo tribe was brought from Liaodong to join the Khitan after the Goguryeo Kingdom was briefly restored and quickly destroyed by Li Jing. Goguryeo perished, and he and his tribe became vassals of the Khitan and became his mercenaries. This time, he took the warriors of the 5,000 clans to the south, and he wanted to grab a vote, but who would have thought that he would run into Li Siyuan's hard stubble. From Bai Shuiluo's pursuit of Li Siyuan to the present, his 5,000 men and horses have lost a full 2,000 men, and forty percent of them have died. Even if most of the dead were auxiliaries, it made his heart bleed.

In any case, he had already lost a lot this time when he went south, and now he was not thinking about how to get rich and how much money to grab, but how to ensure that the remaining 3,000 soldiers would not be lost. He knew very well that it was because of these warriors that he was able to get a pasture under the Khitan people and settle down for the tribe. But if these warriors are gone, the Khitans will definitely be the first to annex them.

"I think that at the moment, Shatuo is at the end of the road, and if he attacks at this time, these Shatuo people will definitely fight back desperately, and a death blow will definitely cause us a lot of casualties. It's better to besiege them, a certain has already seen that this valley is very small, there is no water source in it, and they have long run out of food and grass. As long as they are besieged, even if they kill horses and eat meat, but there is no water, and within three days, they will destroy themselves. As long as we surround here for three days, five days at most, those Shatuo wolves will turn into a group of Shatuo dead dogs by themselves. ”

Gao Tansheng's proposal was immediately supported by several other small clan leaders who had suffered heavy casualties in the pursuit. They went south to make a fortune, not to die. Since Li Siyuan's defeated army has been trapped, he only needs to wait quietly for a few days to get the victory, so why pay the lives of the rich and noble tribal warriors needlessly.

On the grassland, the weak eat the strong, and every tribal warrior is extremely precious.

"I understand everyone's thoughts, but you need to be careful of long nights and dreams. This place is not far from the territory of the Qin Domain, in case the Qin army comes to help, and then the meat of the mouth flies, it will be regretted. Temuthorn didn't expect these tribes to be so timid, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Tiemu Thorn, the Wuzhou of the Qin Domain is still nearly two hundred miles away from here, and Marshal Yelu has already taken the northwest of Ulzhou in the south of Wuzhou, do you think that at this time, the Qin people still dare to go deep into the outside of the Saiwai? Just wait a few more days, just wait a few more days, a good meal is not afraid of being late, what are you anxious about. If you really want to fight, then you Tatars will be in charge of attacking, and we will take care of it for you. "Gao Tansheng didn't give Tiemu a stab at all, everyone didn't belong to each other, and no one could control anyone.

When Ghost Chi'er saw that he had said this, he knew that these guys were determined not to attack now. Of course, he didn't want to be attacked by their Tatar warriors, but those cowards pressed the formation behind, and quietly kicked the sticker thorn at the moment, and said with a smile: "Since everyone agrees to besiege, let's besiege." ”

The meeting finally decided to continue to besiege the defeated army of Shatuo and not to attack it for the time being.

The tribes drew lots and drew the tribes responsible for the siege tonight, and then the other tribes each chose a cool place near the valley, set up camp, and continued to rest.

Li Siyuan stood on the arrow tower erected at the mouth of the valley, looking at the quiet night, and couldn't help but chuckle, these dog-day Hu people actually didn't attack. They did not attack during the day and did not attack at night.

With a long breath of turbidity, Li Siyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, they had won another precious day, and now they were all counting on Yang Lin to bring back the Qin army reinforcements.

A bunch of stupid dogs, you are about to pay a heavy price for your stupidity at this time! Li Siyuan's fingers clenched the handle of the knife, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth!

Although the Hu people did not attack, Li Siyuan did not dare to relax at all, he was not completely sure whether this was just a trick of the Hu people, maybe they were paralyzing them, wanting them to relax their vigilance, and then suddenly attack. To this end, Li Siyuan divided the 3,000 remnants of the army into three divisions, which took turns to be responsible for guarding and defending, each defending for two hours, so as to maintain vigilance and keep most of them energetic to deal with the battle that might occur at any time.

Just after the past, the Hu people outside the valley suddenly quietly slipped out of more than 100 horsemen, they dismounted and walked, quietly went around to the side, climbed from the hillside, and wanted to sneak into the valley. Fortunately, Li Siyuan had already arranged a group of defenders on the top of the hill on both sides of the valley and found them in time. After a rain of arrows, the group of Hu people left a dozen corpses behind and were beaten back.

Then, it was quiet for about half an hour, and suddenly hundreds of horsemen rushed straight to the valley mouth, and released rockets to the valley mouth, and the startled Shatuo army in the valley turned on their backs, and Li Siyuan hurriedly woke up the two men and horses who were resting and rushed to the valley mouth to fight, but it turned out that it was just a false alarm, and those Hu people shot a burst of rockets, and quickly retreated.

Li Siyuan also saw at this time that this was just a harassment plan by the Hu people, and he didn't want them to have a good rest. But he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he had to keep an eye on the valley in person, so that the other soldiers would not leave their armor and wait for him! (To be continued......)
