Chapter 798: A Classic Battle Included in the Textbook
After gathering all the people, the people of Middle-earth were not in a hurry to return south. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yongsheng felt that he could go south, and in fact, most of the real people felt that they could return to China - they had been out for too long.
As for saying that the rangers are generally weak and need to recuperate, this is not a problem, with their cover, a distance of more than two hundred miles, they rushed over, as long as the Middle Earth side did not deliberately block it, then there was no problem.
On the side of Middle Earth, it is Kun Shuai who is in charge of the overall situation, who may deliberately obstruct it?
But the Middle-earth rangers were unwilling to go back like this, and in this more than a month of hiding in Tibet, they had suffered too much, and they had also seen too many compatriots die under the strangulation of the Rouran army and herdsmen.
What is especially hateful is that most of the heads of these compatriots are hung on the border between Middle-earth and Rouran.
Who can stand such a shame?
To say that the Middle-earth Ranger entered Rouran, it is not an official action, and no one is responsible for their death - you want to come and make a fortune, who is to blame?
But for these rangers, the heads on the border are a shame that the people of Middle-earth cannot erase.
They strongly demanded that there be another big war - even if they could not return alive, they would leave enough painful memories for the people of Rouran.
Li Yongsheng expressed his support for this: Whoever wants to go back, then go back first, I plan to fight again.
He felt that the heroes of Middle-earth had such blood and bravery, which was worth encouraging, and as for saying that in this matter, the Middle-earth rangers belonged to the invaders, he deliberately ignored it.
Things in the world are supposed to be fair—if it weren't for you who came to my middle earth to make trouble, would we have come to Rouran?
Since you Rouran people chose to provoke disputes in the first place, then how to end it is not up to you to decide.
He made such a statement, of course, no one would choose to return to China first - although everyone was already very tired, most of the people here were summoned by Ding Qingyao and Zhu Erhuan, and they were rushing for Master Li's face.
Then let's fight again, fight hard, and some people even shouted the slogan - go back to Middle-earth!
However, slogans are easy to shout, and if they are put into action, there will be many problems.
The biggest problem is that one-third of the Middle-earth rangers they have gathered at present have basically lost their combat effectiveness.
It wasn't just the loss of horses - as an addition, because the area they were in had gathered more than 5,000 rangers, and several of the surrounding settlements had quickly withdrawn after feeling threatened.
This hasty evacuation not only means that the Rouran people moved in a hurry, but they also killed all the cattle and sheep when they moved, and if these livestock were driven away, it would be too much time for them to do anything that might support the enemy.
The fact that the walls are clear to this extent is enough to prove the cruelty of this war.
The 40,000 people who came over from the surrounding area are squeezing their living space step by step.
In fact, they brought a large number of storage bags and had enough supplies, and the strong wall was not of much use to them, and the difficulty was how to delay for a while to fight for the opportunity to recuperate for the rangers of Middle-earth.
Li Yongsheng convened the real people to discuss, and finally decided: take the initiative to attack first and defeat the combat strength of the two Rouran 10,000 teams.
This decision sounds a bit nonsense, there are more than 100 of them in total, even if you add the rangers with combat power, they can't make up 2,000 people, let alone fight 20,000 people, and it will be difficult to fight 10,000 people.
Besides, if they come out of the nest, who will guard the camp and protect the wounded rangers?
However, what Li Yongsheng proposed was to defeat the "combat strength of 20,000 people", not 20,000 people.
How to defeat the combat strength? It is very simple, it is enough to destroy the grain and grass, and once the grain and grass are destroyed in this kind of ice and snow, no matter how brave the army is, it will not have the spirit to fight.
The reconnaissance showed that the 40,000-strong team did not carry cattle and sheep with the army in a hurry, except for some horses carrying some grain and grass, each 10,000-person team had a super-large capacity military storage bag.
But this does not mean that the grain and grass can be easily destroyed, in fact, those who have really seen the army of 10,000 people know how powerful that overwhelming formation is.
And as an army, when camping and marching, there are certain rules, and the Rouran army doesn't pay much attention to the formation, but it is also an army, tens of thousands of people gather together, and if the grain and grass are placed in the Chinese army, seven or eight real people may not be able to rush in.
Even if they rush in, there will be a large number of dead and wounded.
Li Yongsheng's choice is a night attack, of course, a night attack is not easy to enter the barracks, and the Rouran army will set up camp, and a simple defensive array will also be established, and the possibility of sneaking in is very small.
Of course, if another team comes to attack, it will take some time to find out where the grain and grass are and where the storage bags are.
But fortunately, in Li Yongsheng's team, there are Fang Zhenren and She Feng, the two of them were mainly responsible for auxiliary tasks before, and they were not injured much, and now they can be dispatched.
After discussing the details, eight real people and sixteen cultivators were sent to the camp to quietly touch the two 10,000 people.
The guard post of the 10,000-strong team was released very far, fifty miles away, there were scouts, but because they were intercepted and killed by the Middle-earthers, these scouts were now a team of 100 people, focusing on spying on news.
For these scouts, the Middle-earthers quietly bypassed.
It's not that they can't kill these people, but they can't stop the scouts from sending out the warning - these scouts are all old and spread out from each other, forming battle groups and supporting each other, and there is really not much chance of stealing chickens.
If the Middle-earthers use all their means, poisoning, arrays, mirages, etc., four real people and eight repairers may also make a hundred-man scout unable to send a warning message, but ...... It's too much trouble to row.
Bypassing these scouts of the hundreds, the next step is to approach the barracks, but about ten miles outside the barracks, there are patrols of ten-man teams and five-person patrols everywhere.
It's no problem to bypass these people, but when you get to the barracks, those ubiquitous open and dark sentinels are more of a headache.
The two groups of men and horses chose to start at midnight, and after careful observation, they captured a few secret sentinels, and easily inquired about the location of the grain, grass and storage bags in the barracks.
To their surprise, the Rouran side obviously did not expect that the rangers of Middle-earth would dare to sneak attack the military camp, to say a word of conscience, it was all 10,000 people, and if a thousand people dared to come and steal the camp, there was only a dead end waiting for them.
If the opponent is the army of Middle-earth, the Rouran people may pay attention to it, after all, the army is disciplined, but the ranger ...... What's that? That's a straggler!
Therefore, their defensive array is only in a minimum state of alert, and if someone sneaks in, the defensive array will warn, but other than that, it will not play any other role.
At the same time, according to the agreement of the two groups of people, Qi Qi launched a surprise attack on the two military camps.
The real person attacked the camp, once the target was locked, the threat was very great, and they directly forcibly penetrated the layers of defense arrays, and went straight to the grain and grass and storage bags.
The grain and grass are easy to deal with, don't look at the snow now, if you really want to set fire, the Xuannu Palace plays with fire, that is the ancestral level, the southern propylene fire, in the past in Ivan and Beirouran did not set fire, one is that he does not want to expose his roots, and the other is not worth it.
The storage bag is not difficult to find, as long as it is locked into a small area, it is not too difficult to find it - there is a relatively stable space around the storage bag, which is determined by the nature of the storage bag itself.
If the surrounding space is unstable, the storage bag will collapse too easily.
Of course, this requires some spatial sensing ability, and this is an active search type, just like using divine sense to probe, it is active sonar, and it is easy to expose yourself.
But when they all went into the barracks and took the initiative to expose themselves, it was nothing.
The attack went very smoothly, after a stick of incense, the attack on both sides was successful, and they both left a response outside the barracks, hit outside, rushed inside, and ran away directly after converging.
This is a very classic battle, and after this battle, Ivan, Briten and other countries have included it in military textbooks: 20,000 people, defeated by four great knights in the ice and snow.
As for the fact that there are four big knights and sixteen knights outside the barracks, that's not the point.
In this case, they fully analyzed the various circumstances at that time, and pointed out that in this complex environment, the Middle-earth rangers were basically in a desperate situation - "they seemed to have only two options: defeat and surrender."
"As you can imagine, there was an atmosphere of despair in their shabby, leaky makeshift camp. ”
"Yes, some people can abandon their comrades and risk their breakthrough, however, this does not guarantee the success of their breakthrough. ”
"Of course, breaking through with the wounded will make the success rate of the breakthrough infinitely close to zero...... This seems like a piece of nonsense?"
"Ultimately, however, the actions of the people of Middle-earth have taught us how important logistics are in war...... Yes, courage isn't just the only factor in winning a fight, even if you don't want to admit it. ”
"Knights on high and high, it's time to consider the importance of the groom and even the packer. ”
"It's not a whisper that a single person can dominate the entire battle - in addition to having a True Monarch, we can also consider sneaking up on the opponent's grain and grass, even if it seems very difficult. ”
However, in this battle, Li Yongsheng's side also paid a certain price - Zhang Laoshi was seriously injured, and two Si Xiu were killed.
Sneaking up on an enemy camp is very rewarding, but in that chaotic scene, any kind of accident can happen.
Zhang Laoshi was injured under the indiscriminate blow of the other party.
The captain of the 10,000-strong team probably thought that he was trying to steal grain and grass to alleviate the plight faced by the Middle-earth rangers, so he would rather hurt his own people than destroy the other party—at least destroy the storage bags.
