- Chapter 364: Clearly planning to win the enemy, but being plotted against him
Fang Jie first led the Shanzi Battalion into the rebel camp. He quickly split the front camp and then rushed towards the Chinese army. He successfully attracted all the people Zheng Duojin had organized hastily. Chen Dingnan led the The cold cavalry arrived at just the right time and opened a gap in the rebels' barely organized defensive phalanx from the flank. After killing and seeing blood, those cold cavalry became more and more unstoppable.
Zheng Duojin was shot to death by Fang Jie with an arrow. This rather brave man died without knowing how.
As soon as Zheng Duojin died, the rebels immediately panicked.
The cold cavalry rolled in from behind, just like how the Mongolians attacked the Sui Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army from behind. They trapped the rebels' defeated troops and intercepted them for a while. The number of rebels faced by Fang Jie's Shanzi Battalion was immediately greatly reduced. Facing the defeated enemy, it would be a shame if they did not take advantage of the victory and pursue the situation.
"Don't rush forward in a hurry, form a small team of fifty people, spread out, go around in circles and drive the defeated rebels back to the rear camp!"
Fang Jie restrained them loudly, fearing that he would lose his advantage if he rushed too fast, and the messenger immediately blew the horn.
As the horn sounded, the cavalry of the Shanzi camp dispersed in groups of fifty. The rake also combed back and forth between the rebel army's main camps, forcing the rebel army's defeated troops to keep running back. The number of rebel cavalry left in the rear camp was not large to begin with, and they were blocked by their own defeated troops and could not support them at all. The rout spread back like a tide, and the law enforcement team tried to stop it but to no avail.
Originally, the rebels still had an absolute advantage in numbers, but a crushing defeat could not be stopped by one or two rebel generals who could still stay awake.
Chen Dingnan, who was on the rise, immediately became more excited when he saw the rebel cavalry appearing in the distance. Slaughtering the defeated troops was far less exciting than fighting the cavalry. He immediately turned his horse and rushed in the direction of the rebel cavalry. The Han cavalry in Northern Liao were more wild than him in temperament, and they naturally liked to fight with the enemy's cavalry. They even look down on the Mongolian wolf riders. This innate wildness is their biggest reliance on being invincible.
From their point of view, there is no sense in killing these rebels who have almost given up resistance. Although the rebel cavalry is not as good as the Meng Yuan Wolf Cavalry, if they make a choice at this time, the Cold Cavalry will naturally choose to kill someone who can satisfy them more.
Before the rebel cavalry, which numbered less than a thousand, had time to get out of their own defeated troops, they were smashed to pieces by the surging cold cavalry.
In the words of the rebels, fighting with the barbarians in Northern Liao will always give the illusion that you are fighting a group of wild beasts.
At this time, Fang Jie no longer deliberately interfered with how the cold cavalry fought. The rebels' defeat was determined. Unless there was a miracle, it would be difficult to organize a decent counterattack even with strong troops. The cavalry of the Shanzi Battalion used the tactics of small teams to move vertically and horizontally to clear out the rebels who were at the rear, constantly putting pressure on the defeated troops. Once this situation is formed, even gods cannot save it.
Fang Jie looked back and ordered: "Let Chen Bishan send people to control the rebel supply camp, and then assign a group of people to guard the camp gate. In addition, send people to Jiazigou and let Lu Fenghou stay where he is." Stand guard and tell him that I will lead the team back before dark."
"Here"
The soldier responded and immediately went out to deliver the order.
Fang Jie stopped his red horse, looked at the battle situation and smiled with satisfaction. The night before yesterday, Sun Kaidao and him had been discussing in the big tent until almost dawn. Sun Kaidao's prediction was indeed correct, everything was within the plan. Sun Kaidao felt something was wrong after Big Dog took Feiyupao to explore Jiazigou. Fang Jie also felt that it was unreasonable, so when Sun Kaidao mentioned it, Fang Jie immediately found resonance.
This decision is not a bold one, as Fang Jie blocked the entire Shanzi Camp.
For Fang Jie, this is a matter of risking his life and fortune.
"But Fang Jie didn't have any worries from the beginning. He is a decisive person. Once he has made a decision, he will not hesitate again. To complete his idea, just one Shanzi camp is definitely not enough. A surprise attack required speed. Yangziying's infantry was not needed and they had to guard the retreat route of Jiazigou, so Fang Jie asked Wanyan Zhongde to lend him three thousand cold cavalry. Wanyan Zhongde lent it to him without even asking, and Fang Jie felt more confident.
Next, Fang Jie is waiting to give the enemy the most fatal blow.
He didn't wait long.
Just after the cold cavalry slaughtered the few rebel cavalrymen like chopping melons and vegetables, a thick cloud of smoke rolled in from outside the camp gate. When Fang Jie heard the loud sound of the horns and saw the flying lion flag appearing in his sight, he knew that today's victory was a foregone conclusion.
What arrived was the cold cavalry led by Wanyan Zhongde himself, no less than 7,000 cavalrymen.?
When Wanyan Zhongde saw where Fang Jie's general flag was, he immediately urged his horse to rush towards this side. When he saw Fang Jie stopping his horse and standing there smiling at him, Wanyan Zhongde couldn't help but admired: "Master Mou, please explain to me. It almost made my heart jump out of my throat. I never thought that you were going to raid the rebel camp by borrowing three thousand cold cavalry from me. If I had asked you clearly what you were planning to do today, I would be surprised if you asked me clearly what you were planning to do today! Don¡¯t be so shocked!¡±
"Feel sorry!"
Fang Jie clasped his fists and said, "I shouldn't have concealed it, but because I didn't have much success in advance, if I told it, I'm afraid you wouldn't even dare to lend me the cavalry."
Wanyan Zhongde didn't care, he nodded and said: "That's right, if I knew how brave you were, I would definitely not dare to lend you troops. I thought you were going to go to Jiazigou and borrow my cold cavalry. Support. Who would have thought that what you are seeking is not Jiazigou but Meng Wansui¡¯s lair!"
Fang Jie smiled: "I still have to trouble Your Highness to lead people to rush to the rebels' rear camp, and we can't give the rebels a chance to breathe."
"clear!"
Wanyan Zhongde nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he led the cold cavalry towards the rebel rear camp. The newly arrived cold cavalry immediately became jealous when they saw that each of their companions who had been fighting for more than an hour had gained a lot. These people were like wolves charging into a herd of sheep, waving their sabers to kill people.
Fang Jie looked at the unstoppable morale of the wolf cavalry and their ferocious appearance when killing people, but his face gradually became serious.
This was a victory, but the people who assisted him in killing people were foreigners from the Northern Liao region. Although the people killed were enemies, they were from the same clan.
Fang Jie looked thoughtful at the flying lion flag in the crowd.
¡¡
¡¡
By the time the infantry of the Sui army arrived, the rebel camp turned into a hell. I don't know what happened, but Mou Liangbi, who was always kind and merciless, treated the rebels uncharacteristically. After the fighting, more than 16,000 rebels were captured, and he actually ordered to kill them all without changing his expression.
This order stunned the Sui generals who were quite dissatisfied with him before. No one could understand that this scholar, who was unwilling to kill even Li Xiaozong's more than 100 cronies a few days ago, was so cruel in his attitude towards the rebels.
Even Fang Jie was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason. The moment he figured it out, Fang Jie's heart couldn't help but sink.
Mou Liangbi is a typical loyal scholar. His deep-rooted attitude towards traitors is that he will never tolerate them. In his opinion, after all, most of Li Xiaozong's soldiers were those who survived the disastrous defeat of Mandu Banner, and he couldn't bear to kill them. But in his eyes, the rebels were no longer Sui people, but enemies. And he was afraid that killing those people would arouse the resentment of other rebel generals, who knew it would be counterproductive.
??And the cool thing about this man is that he knows that leaving these rebels will do no good. More than 10,000 prisoners could not be taken away at all. The quality of these people is far different from that of the Sui army, and the Sui army is bound to be resistant to prisoners. Even if they stay, it will be difficult to integrate them together. They were enemies of life and death, and suddenly they became comrades. I am afraid that no one will look at them. Pleasant to the eyes.
"And the army will retreat immediately. With so many prisoners, the pressure will be too much for the village. Once some of these prisoners collude with the rebels, the safety of the mountain stronghold is not guaranteed.
And the most important thing.
It¡¯s because he has selfish motives.
He was imprisoned for more than ten years, and he was entrusted with important responsibilities when he became an official. When he was supposed to be on the rise, a disastrous defeat knocked him down from the clouds to the mortal world. The position of Secretary of the Ministry of War was replaced by Zong Lianghu, and he was still responsible for the defeat of the Northwest Army. Even if he had some military exploits, the emperor could not arrange for the official to be reinstated. In that case, where would Zong Lianghu be placed?
And he doesn¡¯t dare to stir up trouble now. If someone tells him in front of the emperor in the future that he is soft-hearted towards the rebels, there is no guarantee that his way back to the imperial court will be blocked.
"Can't stay long"
After Mouliangbi ordered the massacre of the prisoners, he immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the rebel supply camp.
"Meng Long live's reinforcements will be back soon, and the baggage must be evacuated as soon as possible."
??The subordinates sighed and went to arrange for people to carry the food, grass and baggage.
"Sir, how could you guess that Meng Wansui was not in the camp?"
A Sui army general asked with admiration.
Mou Liangbi glanced at him and smiled lightly and said: "Li Xiaozong was killed, Meng Wansui will not know about it. Since he knows that Li Xiaozong is dead, there is no need for him to carry out his previous agreement with Li Xiaozong. If Li Xiaozong asked Meng Wansui to set up an ambush in Jiazigou in order to kill me, then if Li Xiaozong died, Meng Wansui would definitely miss his appointment with Li Xiaozong.Could it have been leaked? If it is leaked, what is the use of the ambush in Jiajigou? "
"But after our people investigated, they found that there were traces of rebels in Jiazigou. Why did Meng Wansui do such a meaningless thing?"
Mou Liangbi raised his chin slightly and said: "Because he just didn't want us to go to Jiazigou. He deliberately let our people see the ambush in Jiazigou. The terrain of Jiazigou is dangerous, and he only needs to send some suspicious soldiers there. However, we were too suspicious to leave, so we chose to take the main road and go back around Hou Wushan. At this time, Meng Wansui was afraid that he would lead a large group of people and set up an ambush on the main road, waiting for us to dig in with his pockets open. ¡The rebels¡¯ western camp must be empty.¡±
After hearing what he said, the Sui army general understood, and the look in his eyes that looked at Mou Liangbi no longer had the contempt of the previous few days, but was full of admiration. They were not convinced by Mou Liangbi before, but this victory forced them to be convinced.
"Of course, this great victory was also due to General Fang's bravery."
Mou Liangbi said lightly, then turned and walked away: "Order the men and horses to move faster, and then evacuate in the direction of Jiazigou immediately. I have arranged for the men and horses to meet at Jiazigou. We must arrive before dark!"
Cui Zhongzhen looked at Mou Liangbi's retreating back, the anger in his eyes getting hotter and hotter.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but he suddenly let out a long sigh.
Looking lonely
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie led the team to the front and looked back at Cui Zhongzhen who was following him and smiled: "What's going on? He looks unhappy."
Cui Zhongzhen sneered: "Only now can I understand how unpredictable people's hearts are!"
"Who provoked you?"
Fang explained the question.
"Don't act stupid!"
Cui Zhongzhen said: "I don't believe you didn't see Mo Liangbi's intentions, and I don't believe you can feel happy This great victory had nothing to do with him from beginning to end. It was all arranged by you. But he only treated those generals. Without mentioning a word, it's as if he planned everything from setting up camp to arranging the retreat. Now those generals are full of praise for him and sincerely admire him for putting in so much effort, but it's not like you. no problem."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Lord Mou haha After all, there are many official paths, so I think too much."
Cui Zhongzhen sighed: "Although I know that this is a common trick used by court officials, and I have been taught these things since I was a child, it seems that I am still not suitable for being an official. I will get angry when I see such dirty things. This battle After the beating, I will go home! I would rather farm than see such ugly faces again!"
"Your temper is much hotter than before."
Fang Jie patted his shoulder, hiding the suppressed anger in his eyes.
