Chapter 179

: Forced stroke of tiger beard

Although it is not a combat marching, Chen Kefu still has high requirements for the troops.

The marching line was maintained along the way, and the prisoners and logistics supplies were in the marching line, with soldiers guarding them in front and behind. The cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion of Mao Yi's First Division was directly under the reconnaissance battalion, with 500 people reconnaissance about two miles in front of the entire brigade.

Chen Kefu's central army was separated by two miles, composed of soldiers from the heavy infantry brigade and the 6th Division. The rear army was the remaining part of Lu Shishen's second division, serving as the rear guard. The entire army was more than 30,000 people, and the number of elderly prisoners also reached more than 20,000. They winded forward and backward for dozens of miles, like a long snake.

In the dense forest of the valley, two bald Khitan spies dressed in tight clothes were climbing on a tall tree, using their hands as curtains to explore a large army coming from the forest in the distance. Seeing that the army was numerous, the flag was covered with sky, there was a cavalry with hundreds of people leading the way in front, and the central army also had cavalry guarding them. As the team got closer, the two slipped down from the tree like monkeys and ran into the valley not far ahead.

"Young clan leader, here, the Sui people are here. The number of people is at least 50,000 or 60,000, but there seem to be about 30,000 soldiers. In fact, they are all captives of Goguryeo. There are not many cavalrymen, and there are about 50,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry. There are at most six or seven miles, and there are five or six hundred cavalry ahead and about two miles to open the road."

Mogo stared at the road ahead with his eyes shining, and nodded, "Okay, go down."

After saying that, he said to the leaders of the soldiers who were also lying on the ground behind him, "Okay, the fat sheep has arrived, let's go down and prepare. This time we have to do a big vote. After capturing this Grass Valley, our entire tribe can have a safe winter."

Abaoku next to him still said with some concern, "Mogo, I always think this is inappropriate, let's forget it. The Sui army has more than 30,000 soldiers and only 13,000 people, so don't mess with them. Besides, the tribe leaders and elders of various tribes don't know about this, but I'm afraid they will be scolded at that time."

As the young leader of the Yaonian tribe, Abaoku was moved at the time and brought five thousand cavalry from his clan to him, but he had already regretted it at this time. If there were few people from the Sui army, he would have done it just gritted his teeth. But now the Sui army has more than 30,000 soldiers and more than 60,000 people. Although they were ambushing, they were a one-to-two comparison. In addition, they would be really ambushed by then. If so many people ran away from one or two soldiers, this matter would be impossible to stop.

The Khitan was not strong at all and had to rely on the Turks to survive. However, even the Turks had been defeated by the Sui Dynasty over the years. If this was caused by the revenge of the Sui army, then their Khitan would not be able to stop it.

Moge looked at Abaoku with some contempt and said coldly, "Don't you think it's too late to say this now? Look at the horizontal knife on your waist now, and then look at the Mingguang armor on your body. Where did these come from? Don't forget, we had robbed and killed a small team of messengers sent by the Sui Army in Fuyu City yesterday. We have done this. Do you think we can still push it off? A real man will do it. What's the matter if he is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back? If you admit that it is not the bloodline of a wolf, then you can leave now with your five thousand troops. Even if I, Moge, have no one, and you will definitely be able to make this ticket today."

Abaoku looked at the horizontal sword in his hand and the Mingguang armor on his body. His face was red and he didn't say anything for a long time. This was the equipment of the Sui army messenger they killed yesterday. At that time, he and several young tribe leaders of Mogo tribes divided up one set of equipment that had been taken off the Sui army messenger.

Seeing him hesitant, Mogo said impatiently, "If you want to leave, leave quickly. Don't wait for the Sui army to come, and you want to leave again. It doesn't matter if you leave, don't ruin my good things."

A Baoku's face was flushed and hesitated for a while. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, do it, we are brothers who have made righteous things. Since you want to do it, I will accompany you. Whatever the consequences are, I will talk about it then."

"Okay, this is my good brother." When Moge saw that he was willing to stay, he patted his shoulder happily and said. Abaoku had five thousand cavalry under his command. If he really wanted to withdraw, then they would only have eight thousand people left. It is still unknown whether they could succeed at that time. But now his brothers are willing to stay together, with 13,000 people in his hand, and they will be ambushed again after a while. He thought that although the Sui army had 30,000, but they still brought a large number of prisoners and baggage. As long as they broke through the formation of the Sui army and made them panic, then, his three-strong cavalry would definitely annihilate the Sui army.

"Prepare the catapult cart. Let the hundreds of cavalry in front of you first, concentrate the catapult carts to attack the central army of the Sui army, disrupt their positions, and then fireballs. Abaoku, you will lead your five thousand cavalry to directly attack the central army of the Sui army, and do not necessarily cut off them and their rear army. Remember not to fight stalemate, just drive the Sui army to run and let them get disorganized. Watai, you will lead the three thousand cavalry of their respective tribes to go around the rear army of the Sui army and intercept their retreat route. This mountain road is in the valley, as long as the retreat route is cut off. At that time, we will completely disrupt the formation, and the Sui army, which has no formation and no retreat route, isn't it a group of lambs under our swords, act!"

This time, the Khitans originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack Fuyu City, but because Fuyu City is high and hard, they specially brought a lot of catapults, tinder oil and other items to prepare for the attack. As a result, when they heard that the Sui army was coming, they retreated one after another. The batch of catapults and tinder oil was included in the rear army by the intentional Mogo. At present, it is the time to use its value.

When the sun was on the verge of the mountain road in this valley, I felt a gloomy feeling. The two tall mountain walls made the entire team only stand in four or five cavalry side by side. The troops of more than 60,000 people were forced to form a long, one-character snake formation. They winded for more than ten miles in front and the tail in the back.

"call out!"

Several stones weighing dozens of kilograms suddenly flew out of the dense forest beside a wide valley that had just passed and fell straight into the army of the central army. The blood was directly smashed by more than ten Goguryeo prisoners there, and their lives were splattered.

This sudden change also scared the Sui army. Chen Kefu was the first to come over, and he drew out the horizontal knife and shouted loudly, "Enemy attack!"

"Protect the General! Arrange the Formation!" Zhang Jin roared.

The soldiers of the Guards Company were as if they were facing a great enemy. They rode their horses to surround Chen Kefu at the first time. More than 100 people directly picked up Chen Kefu and formed an airtight wall of people.

The Goguryeo prisoner in the middle suddenly screamed. The death at such a close distance happened in front of them, and even the blood splashed out from the dozen dead prisoners just now spilled on their faces and bodies.

"Design the formation!"

"Hold the shield!"

"Stay on your feet!"

The loud orders of officers came one after another, and the officers from various divisions, regiments and battalions issued orders as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, although most of Chen Kefu's Northeast Army are new recruits, they are veterans in ambush battles. Whether they are new recruits, they have fought at least twice. Moreover, the most recent one was just a few days ago, and everyone understood the terrible ambush battles.

There are too many ambushing others. When they are ambushed, most of them are not panic, and they even show better than some troops that have experienced battle formations. Because from generals to soldiers, the Northeast Army understands that when they encounter an ambush, don’t panic at the end. It is best to form a defensive array on the spot, stabilize the position on the spot, and hold the shield to defend. The taboo at this time is to panic and run around.

The more you run around, the more likely you will fall into chaos. Once the entire army is in chaos and loses command, the army will be over. As the saying goes, long-term illness becomes a doctor, they also understand what to do if they are ambushed for a long time.

Teams of soldiers took off their shields and formed small defensive formations with the people around them at the first time, and then slowly moved closer to the defensive formation next to them and formed a larger defensive formation.

Compared to the orderly order of the Sui army, the captives of Goguryeo all burst into a nest all at once, and they were dead and ran around like headless flies. They didn't know where to go, but they just couldn't stop anyway.

"Defense, those who dare to rush to the formation will be killed without mercy!" One after another, the orders spread.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the Sui army roared desperately, as if only in this way could they reduce the panic in their hearts. The geese were pecked by the geese all day long. In the past, they were the only one who ambushed others, but now they are still ambushed by others.

Fortunately, the soldiers were also unsure and panicked, but at least they restrained the fear in their hearts and began to defend step by step according to the correct steps. Before the ambushing of them appeared, the captives from Goguryeo ran around, some running towards the mountain, and many running directly towards the Sui army's defense formation.

No one hesitated. After receiving the order, the Sui army soldiers were mostly male prisoners over fifty years old, old women over forty years old, or disabled prisoners picked out. As long as these people dared to hit the defense circle of the Sui army, they would shoot and raise their spears without hesitation.

One by one, the old, weak, sick and disabled, were unarmed and panicked, and in just a moment, countless people fell down.

"Kill, kill, kill!"
