Chapter 881: Phantom
『Chapter error, click here to report』
The speed of Huofeng's march was very slow, and not only that, but the army of 50,000 was still divided into two groups.
Thirty thousand were in front, led by Huofeng himself, while the other 20,000 were far behind. First, it is to prevent accidents, in case there is an ambush and the like to be caught off guard, no matter how big the casualties are, the whole army will not be wiped out. On the other hand, it is also guarding the previously captured loot separately, not to mention anything else, just the war horse has already made Huofeng quite satisfied.
In this way, in the next so-called Armageddon, Huofeng will not feel a loss even if he does not participate, he has already made a lot of money anyway.
On the other side, Zhenxi Mansion, which is also an army of foreign aid, can be regarded as a trough in morale. As soon as he saw this appearance, Zhenxi Mansion knew that he definitely couldn't expect this group of soldiers to fight the Turks again, even if he rushed over, that is, he stood far behind and shouted a wave of 666, which was regarded as cheering.
Considering that Xiao Jiaowen, who is also a reinforcement, is now a big loss, Zhenxi Mansion even suspected for a while that what Zhou Shaoyu said in advance was just to ask them to wave the flag and cheer, and the main force or Zhou Shaoyu's own army Yunyun was just a deception, otherwise, why did Zhou Shaoyu's own army suffer little losses?
Whether it's or not, Zhenxi Mansion will have to consider its own situation next.
In the war with the Turks, Zhenxi Mansion's family wealth is almost exhausted, and now it has been beaten miserably by Ashina Falcon again, and the news comes out, even if Ashina Falcon is finally exterminated, it will not be of much use to Zhenxi Mansion, and everyone will only see that Zhenxi Mansion has been defeated again and again, and its strength has been greatly reduced, which is no longer enough to pose a threat to the countries of the Western Regions.
It can be expected that in the near future, the Yongzhou territory will inevitably face the invasion of the Western Regions Alliance.
is already a little suspicious of Zhou Shaoyu's Zhenxi Mansion, but it is really not so trustworthy. But now the only ones who can help Zhenxi Mansion are Zhou Shaoyu and Xiao Jiwen. Since Zhou Shaoyu can't do it, he can only try to seek help from Xiao Yao.
But for no reason, why should you ask others to lose your strength to help you, is it really Xiao Yao's strength is very strong?
A group of people discussed and discussed, and finally made an astonishing decision, that is, to simply join Xiao Jiwen to become a subordinate, facing the entire Yongzhou, Zhenxi Mansion did not believe that Xiao Jiwen would not move.
As an internal decision that Zhenxi Mansion has not yet made an action, of course outsiders have no way of knowing, the number of troops led by Li Xiuning is only 20,000, and in the absence of sufficient geographical advantages, it is natural that he will not rashly march to fight a decisive battle with Ashina Falcon, anyway, it is the Turkic side that has to take the lead in making a choice.
Ashina's current position is a little awkward, and one of them, needless to say, is the hill occupied by Xiao Yao's wife. Unless you take it forcibly, this road will definitely not work.
And the only road to the north is guarded by Li Xiuning, and to the south there is a fire phoenix slowly approaching.
Although it is in the wilderness, it will definitely not be blocked, but at least the avenue is not to think about, it can only be a rugged road through the forest and mountains.
However, Ashina Falcon is obviously not ready to run away in disgrace.
Ashina Falcon, who was already at the end of the strong crossbow, had to run all the way after being chased by Yang Miaozhen, and his body could be said to be weak to a certain level, and then run? Or is it a rugged road over a hill? Ha, Ashina Falcon would naturally rather choose to die vigorously in battle than die on the way to escape!
At this time, Ashina Falcon also made an astonishing decision, the war was imminent, and he actually let go of some Turks who were unwilling to fight to the death, whether these people could successfully break through and return to the steppe for the time being, but at least, after the Turkic army, which is now not very large, has been reduced to just over 10,000.
It seems that the Turkic army of more than 10,000 is no longer a threat, after all, Li Xiuning has more than 20,000 there, Xiao Xiuwen also has more than 10,000, Huofeng even has 50,000, as for Zhenxi Mansion...... Don't mention it.
In short, 80,000 against 10,000 is still a roundup, no matter how you look at it, it is a victory.
But things can't be seen that way.
Since Ashina Falcon dares to let go, then the Turkic soldiers who still choose to stay and fight to the death for Ashina Falcon are bound to explode the most amazing combat effectiveness, in the final analysis, they are willing to choose so when they know that Ashina Falcon will die, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to volunteering to bury Ashina Falcon!
People aren't even afraid of death, but are they afraid of fighting to the death?
I don't know what others think, anyway, Li Xiuning has already been treated as a 100,000 Turkic army. Not only that, Xiao Yaowen definitely can't expect too much, the family has already lost a lot, as for Huofeng, it seems that there are many troops, but the actual combat power can't be too expected.
And it's already good to be able to come over and help, and it's a dream to expect outsiders to do much, and in the end, the pressure is still on yourself.
Since Ashina Falcon hasn't moved yet, Li Xiuning naturally won't move, and he has been repairing and strengthening the camp, and there is a relatively solid place to defend it, which is stronger than proving hard steel with the Turkic cavalry.
However, no matter how it is arranged, a tough battle is inevitable and can be encountered, and the casualties will inevitably not be small at that time. In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Zhenxi Mansion finally preferred to surrender to Xiao Yao, after this battle, Zhou Shaoyu's own strength was reluctant to protect himself, let alone support others.
Don't look at the fact that there are still 10,000 defenders in Taiyuan City, but compared to a huge annexed state, only 10,000 troops are not enough.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuning really regretted it, he was a little rash at the beginning, although he broke the Turks, he also lost more than 20,000 troops that could be collected as his own.
On the first day, Ashina sent away the Turkic soldiers who were unwilling to fight to the death. On the second day, only more than 10,000 Turkic troops were left to feast, drink and eat meat, which was quite a bit of a 'Last Supper', and it was still the same on the third day.
After eating for several days, neither Li Xiuning nor Xiao Xiuwen dared to move lightly, it was a Turkic army with the will to live and die, and no one was willing to take the initiative to touch their brows, even if they looked defenseless.
"See? There are only more than 10,000 of us, and we enjoy the food without the slightest defense, but no one dares to provoke us! Why! Because we are the most elite warriors of the Turks! Our Khan is the great Ashina Falcon! We are invincible in the world! Come, let's toast to our bravery! ”
The slightly drunken Ashina Sima stood up and shouted, drawing the approval of all the Turkic soldiers. Woo la woo la didn't know what he was shouting, he spoke in unison, and his momentum was extraordinary.
However, everything is afraid of exceptions, Huofeng's army was divided into two, and he led 30,000 in front, but he was not at the forefront. In ancient marches, there must be a vanguard army. The same goes for the fire phoenix.
A team of 5,000 people was at the forefront as the vanguard, and was also the first to arrive at the predetermined camping site and set up camp to wait for the Chinese army. And the fire phoenix is also grinding enough, dozens of miles, stunned and slowly grinding little by little, and it has not yet arrived.
In fact, Huofeng also has ideas, and the reason why he walks so slowly is also because he wants to take a steady path. If you can't go far, you will inevitably set up camp and build a small but relatively strong camp, and basically have a certain geographical advantage.
It's a bit cramped with 25,000 people living in it, but it's okay. The march continued the next day, leaving 500 men to guard the camp and continue to fortify, while the rest could not go a few miles and began to set up camp again to continue construction.
It was very obscene to have to accept the fire phoenix's trick, anyway, as soon as Ashina Falcon heard about the result, he immediately gave up the idea of fighting the fire phoenix.
Why? Because people can retreat at any time, and if they can't retreat far, there will be a solid camp to defend, even if it is breached? People can retreat again, and there can still be camps!
You say disgusting or not.
However, on the other hand, since he acted so conservatively, he would definitely not take the initiative to attack to find trouble with the Turkic army, and for this reason, Ashinafalcon's defense of the south side could be said to be minimized.
Again, if you are afraid of exceptions.
Huofeng's vanguard army, the general's surname is Li, he has no background, his name is Yuzi, he was a peasant under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng, Yuzhou, and later followed Huofeng to start a rebellion, because he followed the time very early, captured the king of Zhou, and was also sent to Luoyang as a backbone to secretly develop believers, so as to break Luoyang and drive Sun Shouren away in one fell swoop.
Although they are not the main military meritors, they are all involved, and their qualifications can be described as profound, and they are the diehards of Huofeng. In this way, it is natural to be promoted quickly.
With status, Yuzi was very dissatisfied with his name, and after thinking about it, he decided to give himself the name of 'Phantom', thinking that he was the one who sent a fatal blow from the hidden places, you see Luoyang didn't break out so suddenly.
This time he entered and fought the Turks, and Li Youying said that Mu had any pressure.
His Majesty had the feat of annihilating the entire army of five thousand Turkic cavalry, well, in fact, it was the previous time when the deal was made, and it was actually Yang Miaozhen and Lu Lingqi who made such a record. It's just that too few people know the truth about this matter, and Li Youying was on the front line to guard against Xiao Yu's army at that time, Huo Feng believed whatever he said, so naturally he wouldn't suspect it and went to investigate.
Second, look, this is still on the way, hearing the news of the Turkic army, not defending the counteroffensive, taking the initiative to attack and win a big victory, winning easily!
It's a pity that he didn't share in this kind of credit, and at that time, the vanguard was a guy who was not very good with him. The sharp-eyed guy was promoted by one level because of his merits, which was higher than his level, Li Youying was unhappy, and he wanted to make a great contribution.
No, here's your chance!
As a vanguard army, it is not too far from the Turkic camp, and it must always pay attention to the dynamics, and what is the news you get?
The Turkic army ate and drank all day and was defenseless?
Is this knowing that you will be defeated, and you will lose your fighting spirit and give up on yourself? Li Youying's brain is clear, originally, everyone knows that the Turks are the last to be high, and they should go out to fight when they are done, but Li Youying thinks that people have no fighting spirit, and they can't blame others, they can't do anything after planting for half their lives, although they are promoted step by step, but in fact, their skills are not strong.
Huofeng is also helpless, as a suddenly rising chaotic army, how can there be so many talents available, people are meritorious and loyal, so they naturally have to be promoted. As for the rest, I can only put it aside.
In short, Li Youying was itching, and after making a cameo appearance as a scout in person, he decided to sneak attack!
Considering that the empress may not agree, Li Youying decided to make a prelude first.
Isn't it the Turks, I really don't know how those people fought, didn't they fight very easily before, not to mention that it was still a Turkic army with no fighting spirit and no defense, and the credit for nothing!
In the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner, and the Turks really began to drink and eat meat again and began to revel, some wrestled, some sang, and some danced, which was so lively.
And Li Youying, taking advantage of the gradually darkening sky, approached quietly.
Let's not say that the Turks really don't have much defense now, the smarter the person, the easier it is to be misled, but they don't dare to attack, that is, Li Youying's head is relatively simple and ready to come over to make meritorious contributions. In addition, Ashina Falcon is now also quite vigilant against the fire phoenix.
came and went, and actually touched the outside of the Turkic army's camp all the way!
"Meritorious service is at this time, sons, kill with a certain person!" Li Youying suddenly shouted, and led 5,000 soldiers to rush open the camp gate and kill in!
Not only Li Youying was very excited, but the big guys were also very excited, saying that the old man was dying, and the remaining Turks were also surrounded to eat, drink, and fight all day long.
That's all heads, what about the battle exploits, and what if you are lucky enough to slaughter the Ashina Falcon yourself? I'm afraid that it can be written into the history books and remembered by future generations!
"Roar, kill!" A group of soldiers rushed in with broadswords and spears.
Okay, what kind of generals are there and what kind of soldiers are there?
Not to mention, the Turks are really a little confused.
Especially Ashina Simo, so embarrassing, he just said that no one dared to mess with them, what was the result? It was only a long time before someone immediately came to beat him, and the face was so banging that it was crackling.
This sneak attack is really a bit sudden, unguarded, there is wood, not to mention that he was still drinking and eating meat at the last moment, although there are restrictions on not being really drunk, but who is not at least slightly drunk.
Li Youying took the lead in the charge, and with two swords, he cut down the two Turks, and the soldiers under his command were basically the same.
It's so easy to me! Li Youying was overjoyed, roared, raised his long knife and continued to rush! With interest, I remembered the stories I had heard, so I shouted while rushing: "A certain Zhou man Li Phantom is also, who dares to fight with a certain one!" ”
After shouting, it was another knife, and another one was cut over!
Refreshing! Li Youying picked up the wine gourd in the hands of the Turkic who was cut down, and poured it violently, oops, Meidi is very!
At this moment, the Turks finally reacted, foggy grass, shameless, didn't you see us happy, didn't you even let you enjoy the last supper before the death battle?
Brothers, him!
Old cats don't threaten...... Ahh
When he heard the screams around him, Li Youying was a little confused, huh? What is the situation? Obviously I was so hi just now, why did it suddenly change?
Eh, what am I dripping...... If you hadn't dodged quickly, you would have almost been cut down!
Withdraw, withdraw!
Fortunately, the withdrawal was fast, and the Turks were afraid that there would be ambushes and did not dare to chase them, otherwise only a few thousand people would dare to rush in and fight?
Go back to the camp and count the number of people, good fellow, more than two thousand died in this moment.
But what he didn't know was that that wave of charge, taking advantage of others' mistakes, slaughtered more.
When all parties received the news, they were stunned. Especially Li Xiuning, don't be too depressed, is it because she has been smart for too long? The co-author is really defenseless, otherwise how to explain the successful sneak attack?
Unfortunately, the opportunity has passed, and there is no such opportunity.
And the next morning, after breakfast, the Turkic army was on fire in their camp, and it was not the camp that burned it, but all their remaining rations!
The decisive battle is about to begin!
