After Zhongliang rode away, Huang Songpu, a veteran of many battles, was not discouraged at all. The survival of a supply camp that had nothing to do with the overall trend did not bother him. The rich heritage of the Southern Dynasty could still withstand such losses. , as long as the Chinese army and the Zuoying cavalry successfully capture a dragon-elephant army and eat it, even if it is less than half, or even only five or six thousand cavalry, this battle will be a small victory for one's side, a small victory in the true sense. , instead of what the Taiping Order calls a small loss, a small victory!
In order to ensure that they could keep up with the Dragon Elephant Army who was killing people in the supply camp as quickly as possible, Huang Songpu and the second-class elite cavalry army of the Southern Dynasties and Longxi Province circled the camp to the north. It was impossible for the Dragon Elephant Army to flee all the way north. , must return south to Qingcang. If the Dragon Elephant Army with everyone on horseback dares to return from the military camp lined with tents in order to avoid pursuit, then it is really asking for death. It can only be defeated by the army who still have an absolute advantage in military strength. The Southern Dynasty's border troops came to catch turtles in a jar. Once Wanyan Yinjiang's elite frontier troops defeated the Kou Jianghuai reinforcements with fine cavalry, they would be sure of victory. This camp would be the graveyard of more than 20,000 dragon and elephant troops!
Huang Songpu believed that Li Mofan, the deputy general of the Longxiang Army, was not so stupid.
In fact, Huang Songpu had expected the movements of the Longxiang Army that broke into the enemy camp.
The dragon, elephant, and light cavalry of the three groups of cavalry gathered together. Facing the heavy supply camp in Beimang, they naturally cut melons and vegetables without any suspense. They killed people and horses when they saw them and burned the food and grass when they saw them. After that, they left the camp from the north, and then they did not divide their troops into two groups. Instead, they maintained their formation and headed south along the left periphery of Beimang Camp.
They happened to encounter a large number of more than 38,000 Longguan Yi-zi cavalry.
And the main force of the Huang Song Pu lineage's Jingqi, which still had 16,000 people, began to gallop from behind after taking a long detour.
Further south, the infantry of Bei Mang's western front army also began to move out of camp and form formations, and began to move to the right, blocking the Beiliang cavalry army that could successfully dig their formations southward.
Further to the south, more than 20,000 elite cavalrymen from the Jia-shaped nobles faced off against the 10,000 cavalrymen from the Kou Jianghuai tribe and Bei Liangmo and others.
According to this situation, if the main force of the Dragon Elephant Army wants to cross the three lines of defense while avoiding the pursuit of Huang Songpu's elite cavalry, it will definitely have to pay a heavy price!
When Wanyan Yinjiang galloped forward, he was really full of ambition. He was already imagining that not long after, he was holding Beiliang Xu Longxiang's head in one hand and Kou Jianghuai's head in the other, striding into Xijing where His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on a dragon throne. Temple, becoming the first frontier general in the dynasty to be crowned king and marquis based on military merit!
This powerful Southern Dynasty man in his prime couldn't help laughing and said loudly: "Beiliang Huang Man'er, Kou Jianghuai! Where are the heads of the two of you?!"
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Whether the two towns of Linyao and Fengxiang in Liuzhou were surnamed Beiliangxu or Beimang Murong, they almost changed their city flags.
Ma Liuke, who was originally the deputy general of Liuzhou and also commanded the military power of Fengxiang Town, was originally a local snake in Fengxiang. He was forced to attach himself to Qingliang Mountain due to the situation. After that, he became erratic and had many connections with the spider web. Finally, he was killed by Wang Lingbao, the deputy general of the Longxiang Army last year. After leading the encirclement and suppression, almost all of Ma Liuke's direct cavalry were lost. Ma Liuke himself was missing and no body was found. Cai Anshan, who served as the city shepherd in Linyao Military Town, had to be more secure. In addition, Cao Wei's cavalry passed through Linyao Military Town twice, and Xie Xijie replaced Ma Liuke to take charge of the military affairs of the two towns. Cai Anshan was completely shut down. Say goodbye to guests and withdraw from officialdom.
Under such circumstances, the new Liuzhou deputy general Xie Xique, who was supposed to lead 20,000 Landuo Mountain monk soldiers to Qingcang City, suddenly split up his troops halfway through Fengxiang and approached Linyao, and personally led half of the monk soldiers back to Fengxiang Military Town. The remaining 10,000 monks and soldiers were handed over to the Six-Jead Bodhisattva to station troops in the Yaojun town. The female Bodhisattva from Mount Landa had no objections to this. After all, the reinforcement of 20,000 monks and soldiers in Qingcang was a decision made by both Qingliang Mountain and the Protectorate. Without the personal military orders of the young vassal king or Chu Lushan, the established route could not be changed! Now, both the Landa Mountain and herself were tied to the Xu family. How could she dare to add any unnecessary extravagance to the situation? If the opportunity was delayed, a newcomer from Northern Liang, Xie Xiqiao, would probably die to apologize, but she had to Thousands of believers in the Western Region were plunged into a miserable situation that would never be restored. For this reason, she had a tit-for-tat dispute with the young lieutenant. She had no idea that it was a waste of 20,000 monk soldiers to stay in two towns far away from the main battlefield of Qingcang. What's the point? ! Could it be that it was a common practice in the unjust wars of the Spring and Autumn Period to watch the fire from the other side? But do you, Xie Xijie, really think that these 20,000 monk soldiers are your direct soldiers? Do you want to build your own troops and wait for the price?
At that time, Xie Xiqiao just told her calmly that the battlefield was changing rapidly. The two towns of Linyao and Fengxiang, which connected the Western Regions and Beiliang, seemed to be the icing on the cake and dispensable. However, under some special circumstances, it was very likely that Beiliang would become the icing on the cake. The breakthrough point of Mang Qi's troops can not only serve as a "dangerous pass" to cut off the retreat route of Yu Luan Dao's Youqi and Cao Wei's cavalry, but also allow the Southern Dynasty frontier army, whose strength has never been a problem, to comfortably rely on the two military towns to attack the enemy. The lonely green outside the Great WallCangcheng, spread out an offensive line of sufficient breadth. Originally, the two towns were not enough to become a turning point in the Liuzhou war, but the current favorable situation in Liuzhou has instead highlighted the potential strategic significance of the two towns, and truly allowed the old strategy of Beiliang counselor Li Yishan to come into play.
The female Bodhisattva is profound in Buddhism, but she knows that she is not good at military affairs. Especially since Xie Xijie is a young military master who shines on the battlefield of Guangling Road. She thinks that she cannot convince him, but she will never dare to put the safety of the entire Buddhist community in the Western Regions at stake. As for the young man, facing Xie Xiqiao who insisted on his own opinion, she could only propose a compromise, that is, they rushed to Linyao Military Town with 20,000 monk soldiers, and at the same time, one of the monk soldiers had a hidden identity but was wearing a The middle-aged eminent Buddhist monk with the Vajra Superpower temporarily rushed to the Liuzhou Governor's Mansion in Qingcang City as a scout to report the matter. She meant that even if Qingliang Mountain and the Duhu Mansion had no time to reply to the matter, as long as the Governor's Mansion was willing to nod, she would He agreed to thank Xiqiao for dividing his troops into the town.
"But Xie Xiqiao told her bluntly that in Qingcang City in Liuzhou, neither Yang Guangdou nor Chen Xiliang, the governor, dared to make an independent claim on this kind of matter, not to mention that it might not be in time.
So the two reached an impasse at that time.
The final winner was the brilliant Hai Dongqing who pierced through the clouds and landed on Xie Xiqiao¡¯s arm!
The war in Liuzhou has begun, and the war in Liangzhou is about to begin. However, in this case, Hai Dongqing, who was raised by Chu Lushan himself and has been following the young vassal king all these years, is actually so young and Xie Xijun, who is far away from the two battlefields, is the only contact person!
At that moment, she felt complicated and speechless.
Xie Xiqiao told her in a deep voice, "I alone shall bear the credit for this matter!"
The young man added another sentence, "The King of Northern Liang also firmly believes that I, the deputy general of Liuzhou, Xie Xijie, can be the leader!"
She then acquiesced to his arrangement of troops and horses, and 20,000 Landuo Mountain monk soldiers, who were physically strong and fearless of death, divided their troops and stationed in Fengxiang and Linyao towns.
At this moment, a female Bodhisattva wearing a white cassock but with green hair on her head stood at the top of the city of Linyao Army Town, looking at the more than ten thousand elite infantrymen of Beimang who came to attack the city under the escort of thousands of cavalry troops outside the city. She was relieved.
The bet was right.
Beimang really intends to attack the two towns!
Even a military layman like her knows that the weak forces caused by the continuous transfer of troops from the two towns are simply not enough to defend the two towns. She has a general understanding of some of the main elites of the border armies on both sides of Liang and Mang, such as Liang and Mang. The Snow Dragon cavalry and white horse crossbowmen outside the state pass, the Yan Wenluan tribe's infantry in Youzhou, and the dragon elephant army in Liuzhou. The infantry under Dong Zhuo's command in the Northern Mang Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty were said to be able to compete with the Youzhou infantry, as well as that Dong Fatty's crow fence, or the Qiang cavalry that had been destroyed in Liuzhou, the Rouran cavalry that was now dismantled, etc. , she has heard all about it.
In addition to this, there are also some soldiers and horses that she is not unfamiliar with. Among them are the infantry who are more "outstanding" among the frontier armies of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Everyone knows that the prairie cavalry has caused harm to the Central Plains for nearly 800 years. I have never heard of soldiers and horses in the grassland who are good at attacking cities. They have always either bypassed the dangerous passes and high towns, or the grassland cavalry has always taken the initiative to seek out the main field force of the Central Plains frontier army and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Those border cities have lost their original strategic significance. But today's Beimang is different. In addition to Dong Zhuo's private army, which is mostly infantry, the Southern Dynasty border army has a special kind of troops stationed in several military towns, namely infantry. They are definitely different from ordinary infantry. , whose treatment is not inferior to that of the heavy-armored infantry in the history of the Central Plains, and is a real man of 100 gold in the eyes of the Northern Mang empress. Li Yishan once described this soldier and horse like this, "The infantry of the Northern Mang and the Southern Dynasties , is the work of Huang Songpu, the king of the South Academy. He can go up and down hillsides, enter and exit streams, and is the best at crossing high and far distances. He is good at walking with light feet. In deep and dangerous valleys, he often uses infantry and foot soldiers, and his siege power is not inferior to that of the top warriors in the Central Plains. .¡±
She exhaled softly, her eyes turned cold for a moment, and she threw an armored corpse high out of the city.
It is Linyao City Shepherd Cai Anshan who is trying to wait for the opportunity!
Beimang obviously came well prepared. He had already persuaded Cai Anshan to secretly submit to the Southern Dynasty, and cooperated with the outside. How could the Linyao military town be defended?
Before entering the city, Xie Xiqiao told her to keep an eye on Cai Anshan. As long as there was the slightest sign of trouble, it would be better to kill by mistake than not at all!
She didn¡¯t even look at the body that fell heavily to the ground, and murmured: ¡°I used to think that the so-called ¡®use of soldiers like gods¡¯ in military books was just a random boast by historians who were scholars. Now it seems that I am the frog in the well.¡±
The young man not only foresaw the consequences of Beimang's intention to interfere with the two towns, but also ordered Cao Wei's cavalry through the Haidongqing not to coordinate Yu Luan Dao's Youzhou cavalry in the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty, but to return quickly to the original route. Eat all the Beimang border troops who infiltrated the Liuzhou border!
? ?Her courage and courage really frightened everyone in the same camp.
In case, the thing is in the end, one is one.
But that Liuzhou lieutenant general was able to return this to Beimang intact just in case this came true.
She doesn¡¯t think this is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
People who practice martial arts have amazing and unparalleled talents.
The same is true for those who use soldiers, and become the kind of heroes that are never seen before.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
On the top of the Fengxiang Military Town in Beiliang, the most remote of the three towns in the Western Region, Xie Xiqiao was wearing armor, holding a cold knife in his hand, and his expression was indifferent.
Even in this kind of attire, this elegant-looking young man still gives people the impression of a scholar.
He whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Kou Jianghuai, you said in the early years that one day, in a cavalry battle, it would look like you were bullying the infantry with your cavalry!"
After Chen Zhibao, Xie Xiqiao is the first Confucian general!
The three of them each lead the way, and there is no distinction between them.
¡°Perhaps because only Xie Xiqiao was still alive at that time and held a high position in the temple, this coffin-closing conclusion may not be able to completely convince the public.
But even so, Xie Xiqiao's outstanding status in the minds of later generations of military strategists is already important enough.
In this regard, Xie Xijie, who was in his twilight years, just smiled and said to his close friends in private, "I am far inferior to Kou Jianghuai in terms of military skills."
