Chapter 199 Close the door and beat the dog
Generally speaking, playing cavalry in front of the nomadic people in Mobei is like playing a big axe in front of Lu Ban and playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
Although the Xi people are also considered nomadic tribes, they are different from the pure nomadic Tiel and Luo tribes in Mobei. The territory of the Ahui tribe is not an endless grassland. Their territory is in the river valleys between mountains and waters. The Ahui tribe of the Xi tribe has always been a semi-nova and semi-fishing tribe. Even because of the Han people who farmed in the Central Plains, the Xi tribe gradually began to farm simply. Such tribes are indeed inherently lacking in playing cavalry with the Tongluo people.
But at this moment, the eight hundred Xi warriors were resolutely and unswervingly launched a charge towards the Tongluo cavalry who were standing in front. The blood of more than 10,000 people who died tragically had already dyed their eyes red. At this time, they were like the wild wild boars stabbed in the forest. Even if there was a tiger in front of them, they dared to go up and fight to the death. What's more, with nearly two thousand Han cavalry behind them, they felt full of confidence.
The fighting style of these crazy Xi warriors is very simple, which is to attack, impact, and then attack, repeatedly rush, and rush at any cost. This is completely a fighting style that dies together. They hit people without avoiding or avoiding them. Even when the two cavalry rushes to each other, they jump directly to the opponent's horse, jump on the opponent's back, drag the opponent off the horse, and ignore the flying iron hooves. Such a desperate move surprised the Tongluo cavalry, and then feared. After leading a thousand cavalry, they had previously shouted to give these Xi people a hard lesson. When they received the order of Gu Luo to defeat, they were still very reluctant to do so. At this time, they were very depressed. Why did these weak Xi people suddenly rushed over like crazy wild boars?
At this time, the two cavalry soldiers led by Qin Qiong rushed up quickly, but the Huaihuang cavalry had different fighting styles. They did not attack as crazy as the Xi people. Instead, they were like an experienced Tieler. They were walking on both sides of the battlefield, with recurved horn bows in their hands, and occasionally pulled a arrow. The Tieler cavalry, who were already a little tired of dealing with the Xi people, became even more embarrassed. Often, they finally escaped a Xi people, but were immediately coldly plotted against a Sui army. The Tieler cavalry, who had just beaten the Xi people, fled like a pig, was frightened by the Xi Sui cavalry, and they dodged left and right.
The Tieler people can't stop it.
Originally, the cavalry war was the director of the Tieler people. But now the cavalry war is extremely uncomfortable. It is simply powerful and has no place to use it. It seems to be stuck in mud. Looking at the subordinates who are constantly being thrown off the horse and being shot by the Han cavalry. They dodge left and right and dodge the miserable subordinates, Si'an shouted and cursed, and finally couldn't help but wave and gave the order to retreat to the horn.
The horn sounded. For the first time, the Tiel cavalry felt that the horn of retreat was so pleasant. It was so wonderful and beautiful. They all turned around and ran away immediately without any entanglement with the lunatics.
Gu Luo left Si'an to lead a thousand cavalry to break the rear. He led a large group of troops to leave. He was waiting for Si'an to escape according to the plan, and then he could lead his troops to turn around and kill the cavalry and lure out the cavalry and eat it in one bite.
"Wait for the jin, the thousand men of Si'an were defeated." A scout rushed over and said panting on the horse.
Gu Luo frowned slightly, and Si'an would not act even if he acted. Yi Qiantong Luo warriors faced two or three thousand Han Xi cavalry, how could he retreat so quickly? This was obviously suspected of being a fraudulent defeat. If the Sui people were timid, they might not dare to come up. Just as they were thinking about this, there were already horses over there, and there were already thunderous cavalrymen in the distance. They rushed to flee, even without any formation.
"I pretended well, but it really seemed like I was running away without support. And I ran away in a very embarrassing way. Those Sui people would definitely be fooled." A thousand-time captain smiled and praised Si'an's deception, and several others were echoing.
Gu Luo vaguely saw the flag of the Sui army advancing behind the defeated army of Si'an.
"No!" Gu Luo suddenly felt something was wrong. Si'an and the others were acting too realistic. They had no intention of stopping and kept rushing here, as if they wanted to rush into their team.
The Sui Xi cavalry chasing behind were also very fierce, and some Tiel cavalry who were behind were cut down from time to time.
"Damn, Si'an is really defeated." A strange idea suddenly appeared in Gu Luo's mind. When this idea came out, he himself didn't believe it, but soon he strengthened the unbelievable idea. This almost intuitive idea made him feel alert, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Welcome to the enemy!"
......
The last ray of light in the sky was swallowed up by the vast twilight.
The lead clouds hang low, and the iron-gray shadows occupy half of the sky, and night is coming.
The mountains are vast and snowy. In the dim twilight, it seems like bloated elephants running in groups. The She River flows into the mouth of the Luoma River, and a little orange flame lit up, which is particularly eye-catching in the snow. Then there is the second and third... until countless torches, like stars hanging upside down in the sky, illuminating the eastern entrance of the She River like daytime.
"The Tongluo people have not left the river yet!" Zhang Jinsheng excitedly reported to Yi Feng, who was covered in wind and snow, "I led the people into the valley for thirty miles, but I haven't seen the Tongluo people yet. They are trapped in the Shehe River. They are entangled by the cavalry battalion. We succeed, really succeed."
Starting from the camp in the middle section of the Shehe River, I walked 180 miles in the wind and snow. Yi Feng led nearly 10,000 people to the Dongchuankou of the Shehe River. It took Yi Feng and his team only two days and two nights. At this speed, in such a season, tens of thousands of people were already extremely fast in such snow. They were afraid that the cavalry battalion could not hold back the nine thousand Tongluo people, so they asked them to run out of the river. Fortunately, they had not yet walked 80 miles, and they had not even finished 50 miles. Yi Feng's infantry battalion and chariot battalion walked 180 miles in two days, but the other side's cavalry had not completed 50 miles in two days. This was a bit unbelievable.
"We have not won yet, but now we have only succeeded for half of it." Yi Feng was also very excited, but he did not show it in front of the generals. He tried his best to suppress his excitement and just smiled slightly, "I know that the brothers are very tired, but it is not time to rest yet. We have already walked ninety-nine steps, and we are just shivering. We must not lose a lot of money. Let the brothers cheer up. We must build camps overnight and block the valley entrance. This time, we will annihilate all the arrogant Tieler people here."
"After the victory, everyone will reward you!" Yi Feng said loudly again.
The chariot battalion's drivers began to drive the chariots to their designated locations and formed a series of 200 chariots. They first established a chariot battalion at the mouth of the East Valley of the Shehe River. Two hundred chariots formed a rectangle. A battalion was left on both sides. After the chariot battalion was erected, in this vast snow, the Huaihuang army already had the capital to fight the Tielite people. Even if the Tielite cavalry suddenly rushed over from the river, the chariot battalion could block them with this chariot battalion. However, it was not enough to have a chariot battalion, and more battles
The soldiers began to shovel, shovel and pickaxe to shovel and dig the first trench in front of the camp, and built the first trench. The people clearly divided the work. Some shoveled snow, some dug the soil, and some used baskets to transport the soil. The shoveled snow was poured directly into a large pot and started to cook, and used to drink horses and cook, while the dug soil began to pile up the first chest wall behind the trench. Many soldiers began to stand up and resist horses and tree guns. Some soldiers were sent nearby to cut trees and cut wood, and some were even sent to break ice and fish... Chuankou was busy, but in order.
As long as this camp is built, these thousands of Tieler people will be locked in a cage and will be unable to fly.
On the hillsides on both sides of the valley entrance, there was already a group of people climbing up the mountain and starting to build camps there and establish longbow positions.
Under the White Tiger Banner, Yi Feng immediately looked at him, and Wang Bao, Dou Jiande and other generals stood behind him.
"The Tongluo people were afraid of death, but we had already blocked the entrance of the valley first and locked them in a cage." Dou Jiande looked at Yi Feng in admiration. When Yi Feng decided to quietly divide his troops and march to block the Tongluo people, he was very surprised and thought it was a very risky move. The infantry took a detour of 180 miles, but blocked the cavalry that could only be out of the valley with only 80 miles. But Yi Feng did it. This young commander was like this every time. It was always hard to believe at the beginning, but in the end he could always do these things that others thought were impossible.
When the cavalry in Mobei went south and others felt that they should guard Huaihuang, the commander decided to lead the army north. When they saw the Xi people's envoys for help, many generals thought they should march to rescue, but Yi Feng asked to choose a river valley that was extremely beneficial to the Huaihuang army as a battlefield halfway away from the Xi people, and successfully let the Xi people leave thousands of corpses and have to retreat. Originally, the matter was already successful, but Yi Feng took the risk again. He took half of his men and left only a not-strong army in the camp, and then led his army to close the door and fight the dogs.
This is an extremely risky act. It would be nothing if the Tieler people could not get out of the valley first. But if Tieler people knew the reality of the camp in Huaihuang Army Valley, and rebel the generals and returned to the camp, it would be dangerous. If one is not good, not only can the door be closed and the dogs cannot be beaten, but it may be defeated by them. Now the Tieler people have not yet left Sichuan, and there are no people even thirty miles from the entrance of the valley. Some people even doubt whether these Tieler people are already attacking the camp in Sichuan. However, Dou Jiande believes that even if the Tieler people really turn back to fight the camp, the camp will definitely be fine at the moment, otherwise, they should have received an urgent report.
"This is thanks to the sled car that the coach thought of. In addition, we put nails on the horse's hooves before we set off. Although we were marching in the snow, it would be quite smooth to run. Otherwise, how could the 10,000 infantry troops run through two days?"
Huang Junhan, the battalion general of the Chariot Battalion, exclaimed that it was extremely difficult to march in the snow, especially his chariot should be more difficult to move forward. However, before Yifeng set off, he asked the chariot battalion to bring a batch of supplies. Before this marching, Yifeng asked the engineer battalion to carry a simple modification to the chariot battalion and the four-wheeled chariots of the baggage battalion. He added two wooden strips and brought the chariot here safely. Those simple sled carts easily transported the soldiers' armor, equipment, food, etc.
"I think this snowboard is not bad, it is knee-deep and thick snow, but with two snowboards tied on his legs and two wooden sticks in his hand, it was extremely relaxing and much easier than walking." Lai Zheng also smiled. Until now, the two snowboards on his feet have not been taken off. He lifted his feet and shook them while saying that. He is in a very good mood now. He is originally the deputy general of the chariot battalion. Just now, Yi Feng demolished the chariot battalion, which was originally nearly 5,000 people.
One was divided into two. He, the deputy general, was immediately promoted to the battalion general of the Second Chariot Battalion, and his subordinates were in charge of nearly 3,000 men and 100 chariots, which was in a good mood. It turned out that the first battalion of the chariot battalion had 200 chariots and nearly 5,000 people, was indeed quite large. After the split, there were only 100 chariots in one battalion, and the fifth regiment of the 1st battalion had 50 teams. Each team had two chariots, and each chariot was added to the original one. Each car was equipped with twenty-five sergeants, with one chariot as a squad, and one
The team has two squads, with five groups below, a total of twenty-five people. Two crossbowmen teams, each with five people and two groups of ten people. One heavy infantry team, five people, one sword and shield team, five people, and five people in the spearman team, five people in the spearman team, the team leader is the chariot leader, two are the chariot masters, and two are the deputy chariot masters. They are responsible for commanding the driving car during the march. If they stop marching and form formations to fight, then the five people in this driving group will fight with long spears and guard the chariot. In this way, one combat chariot team has two squads.
Each squad has twenty-five people, and one team is still the standard fifty. The entire chariot battalion, like the infantry barracks, has a full 3,000 people, but in fact it is about 2,800 people. This configuration makes the chariot battalion one of the main battalions, which also makes the Huaihuang Army have two main battalions after four infantry barracks and one cavalry barracks, with a total of seven main battalions. If a teaching battalion is added with a mixed infantry and cycling teaching battalion, the entire Huaihuang Army already has a total of eight main battalions.
