Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 782 I am determined not to be noble

The Xianbei army moved like thunder, and dust rolled up with the horses' hooves. The two armies met and retreated quickly. The rest of the army showed no commotion and still stood as steady as a mountain.

It can be said that it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as the fire, as motionless as the mountain, as unpredictable as the shadow, and as moving as the thunder.

Looking back at the Western Region Allied Forces, the Temple Army was naturally as stable as Shen Yuan, and the elites from various countries could also stand calmly under the military flag. However, the herdsmen and farmers recruited temporarily behaved in a panic when facing the Xianbei Army.

"Hoho! Hoho! Hoho!"

Facing the Xianbei people's probing attack, Luo Gu did not react immediately. He also wanted to test the Xianbei army's combat power and the combat power of his own coalition forces.

The Xianbei army took turns attacking, charging forward, then reining in their horses, and the rear troops charged again. The front troops made circuitous turns, forming a stepped wave charge. The Western Regions Army was in a dilemma, feeling attacked from the front and back. After just a few back and forth, the formation was scattered. Later, many soldiers were killed by arrows shot in the chaos.

Luo Gu's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his left hand, a thousand temple troops slowly rode forward and accelerated. Xianbei's more than [-] horse archers retreated in a roundabout way while grazing the edge and rushing towards the temple army.

The temple army refused to give in. They drew their bows and arrows and fired. The arm strength of the temple soldiers was better than the cavalry archers. The Xianbei army had already entered the shooting range of the temple army before they met.

With the sound of bowstrings, the Xianbei horse archers fell off their horses one after another, but even so, the Xianbei soldiers still maintained a circuitous route and carried out a round of shooting with the temple army despite casualties.

Then it was still a touch-and-go tactic. The Temple Army drew the attention of the Xianbei Army away, and the previously chaotic Qiuci Kingdom's formation finally stabilized again.

A team of 3000 armored cavalry rushed out from the Xianbei formation and passed by the retreating horse archers. There was no collision with the war horses galloping at such a high speed. This armored cavalry headed towards the temple army. The temple troops all covered their faces with iron masks and held lances in both hands, but iron whips were hung on the left and right sides of their horses, which were used to knock the iron shells of their armored cavalry.

As soon as they made contact, the Temple Army, which was lined up with lances and cavalry, gave the Xianbei Army a hard demonstration of why the Temple Army could guard the Western Regions for 200 years, and why the Temple Army was the best in the world!

The five cavalry rode side by side, three with guns and two with whips, hitting the head, chest and back of the Xianbei cavalry hard. The blows were so powerful and heavy that only clang and buzzing sounds could be heard, and then they fell off the horse. A wave of attacks on the Xianbei army resulted in hundreds of casualties, while the temple army's casualties were minimal.

The Western Region Army suddenly cheered loudly, while the Xianbei Army was still stationed in place, with some horses moving uneasily and their hooves tapping on the spot.

"Dudu~dududu~"

The dull sound of cattle horns sounded in the Xianbei formation, and the military order was to retreat. No one dared to disobey it. Yan Hui was riding on his horse, looking in the direction of Luogu from a distance, with no expression on his face. The armored cavalry attack was still for testing, and he did not The plan is to compete with the temple army here.

Now that the temptation is over, we can withdraw our troops. High Priest of Suwang Temple, Luogu, your defeat has been determined, what choice will you make?
The Western Region is vast, with no obstruction from the earth to the sky. It is a natural place for stargazing. The stars cast their light and shine, making it difficult to see. However, Luo Gu had no intention of admiring it. He looked at the extremely bright moon and only wished for it. As it quickly dimmed.

In the brazier not far away, there is another letter from Yan Hui. The wording is the same as before, threatening and tempting, "The high priest of the temple, I give you this letter. Since ancient times, those who know the current affairs are called heroes, and I deeply think of them." However, as the heaven declares, there should be a world under heaven. This heaven's way is magnificent, so there will be good luck. You should know that if you act against heaven, don't you hear me and respectfully carry out heaven's punishment? I give you two trusts, so that you have Ability and respect.

In the daytime battle, if you are capable of military strategy, you should know that we, Daxia, are so powerful that we cannot control it. If you are not capable of military strategy, you will be even more of a laughing stock. You can only raise your head and wait for death. You should hand over the divine staff at the foot of Wushuang City. , bow down and bend your knees, I should touch your shoulders with the divine staff, grant you honor, and keep the Luo family rich and honorable forever. You should think more about it. "

His wife Luo Yu and son Luo Jialan stood side by side, staring at the big moon through the window, the holy marks between their eyebrows shone, and there were actually dark clouds passing by, covering the big moon, and the sky and the earth suddenly dimmed. , [Closed Moon]!
Luo Gu turned around to look, breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the letter in his hand to Luo Jialan. This was a letter that he hoped to send to the main line of winter. yes.

Luo Jialan took the letter and left. The lights in the house were dimmed. He walked quickly out of the house and met Zhao Yingluo who couldn't sleep and was patrolling the night. He asked in the dark: "Princess, if you don't rest early to prepare for war, why do you want to patrol in the dark?" Be careful where you step, it’s not very bright.”

Zhao Yingluo looked at the corner of the letter exposed in Luo Jialan's arms and said softly: "Although the bright moon is gone, especially the torch, it can naturally light up the way forward. Please, sir."

Luo Jialan left quickly, while Zhao Yingluo stood there holding her sword, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, she recovered and returned to the house Luo Gu arranged for her to rest.

As for the Xianbei army, Luo Gu naturally had a stern reply, "The holy land of the temple is bright and shining. You are just a barbarian. You look like a human being, but you are actually a beast. The paradise of the gods cannot see bloody people and cannot tolerate the stench." How can I allow you to be so rampant and defiled like this? If you advance, I will have a sword to defend you. There will be blood to make you aware. Under King Su and above the temple, there are gods raising their heads to frighten evil spirits and subjugate monsters. , I know that thousands of people in the Western Region wish they could eat your flesh and sleep on your skin in repayment to King Su."

Yan gritted his teeth as he read the reply, but recalling what he saw during the day, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a gloomy expression: "It's ridiculous, but it's just a pile of scattered quicksand, which can be broken easily. In that case, I'll let you know what it means." play hard."

The next day, the heads of the kingdoms gathered together. Luo Gu's face was as usual, but the faces of the heads of the kingdoms were a bit unsightly, especially the head of Loulan. His awkward behavior in the face of the Xianbei people made him look very embarrassed yesterday. As soon as they gathered together today, he first He spoke out: "High Priest, the blades of Loulan warriors are already hungry and thirsty. Yesterday, the despicable Xianbei people used cunning tactics to achieve some victories, but that was just an accident. Today Loulan is willing to fight, and he will definitely let the Xianbei people see me." The style of a Loulan warrior.”

Zhao Yingluo curled her lips secretly when she heard this. King Loulan was really a military idiot. The Xianbei army made the Loulan army confused with just a slight joke. He actually wanted to defeat the Xianbei army. Then she set her sights on Luogu. What would the high priest do?
Luo Gu first comforted the Lord of Loulan, then looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "The advantage of the Xianbei army lies in its strict military discipline. All tribes are integrated and can advance or retreat. Therefore, they were able to win a small victory yesterday. All the Lords are heroes of the Western Regions." , brave and resourceful people, but two fists are no match for four hands. It is better to clench your fingers with five fingers and look at the sand flowing on the ground in the Gobi Desert. They can only go with the wind, but the big rocks can stand there for thousands of years. The armies are like quicksand and can only be defeated individually. We must gather together and become one. I meditated on countermeasures last night and made many command flags, marking the armies with different colors and numbers. Each army holds a command flag, and there is no order. Then guard the camp carefully, and if there is an order, follow the command of the Chinese army. All armies will move according to the order. In this way, the Xianbei army will be defeated." Facing the powerful Xianbei army, integrating the Western Region Army is the only victory Luo Gu can think of. To defeat the Xianbei army, as long as there is a group of more than two people, tacit understanding is the key. The prime minister's priority is to reconcile yin and yang and assist the officials.

Luo Gu looked at the princes of the Western Regions in the hall and secretly prayed that there were no arrogant or pushy people among them, otherwise something bad would happen. The princes put down their flags with some surprise, and then began to look at the formations in their own military camps. In this position, Luo Gu did not plan to attack directly. He had to endure the strong fighting spirit of the Xianbei army first. The walls of Wushuang City were high and thick enough to resist the enemy.

However, the Xianbei army never appeared under Wushuang City. They only built obstacles on all the roads leading to Wushuang City. It seemed that they were going to besiege Wushuang City. However, the Xianbei army was more numerous and could not sustain the food and grass. Luogu immediately Realize what the Xianbei army is going to do.

The Xianbei army has been divided into several groups under Yan Hui's order, and they are all heading east, intending to directly seize the back roads of the hometowns of the heads of states. Most of the cities in the Western Regions are low and short, and are not as solid as Wushuang City. Not only the city, but also the people living outside the city were the targets of the Xianbei army.

This is actually a big taboo among military strategists. Why can't you bypass a fortified city? It's because the most taboo in fighting is to be cut off from your retreat and fall into a situation where you have no logistics and are attacked from both front and rear. However, the Xianbei army can solve these two problems. As a nomad, The Xianbei army sent cattle and sheep with them to bypass the fortified cities. As long as they captured enough cities quickly, the balance of power between the two sides would change qualitatively. Whether this was the Western Region for the Western Regions or the Western Region for the Xianbei people was a matter of difference. It is still unknown. As for the army attack in Wushuang City, the Xianbei army cannot fight in the field. It is still unknown what effect the Western Region Army, which has just begun to purge, can have.

The Xianbei army was extremely fast and quickly broke through several relatively small cities and captured all the people in them. Then a group of them returned to Wushuang City. Xianbei's classic tactics allowed these prisoners to consume as much cannon fodder as the current platoon. Those who survive can get rid of their status as slaves and no longer need to be cannon fodder. It can be described as ruthless.

Before Luo Gu could say anything, the kings of the Western Regions had already jumped up one by one, especially the kings at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. They all said in shock: "High Priest, please go out to fight and protect our people!"

Surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao, attacking those who must be rescued, is a tactic that will never fall behind when facing the coalition forces. When the Seven Families of the Five Surnames were on the way to King Qin, they returned to Guandong. When Cao Wei and Yuan Zhao fought in the Central Plains, they also used this tactic, and all of them were defeated. Achieved excellent results.

Luo Gu closed his eyes slightly and sighed. With Xianbei Shanyu's wisdom, how could he not have thought of this move?

This is the biggest flaw of the Western Regions. Besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao is useless for a unified country, because a unified country has a strong central force that can sacrifice the interests of a small number of people in exchange for greater interests. It is cruel but effective. .

But the coalition is different. What maintains the coalition is the people's hearts. Even if the coalition suffers losses, it must be as balanced as possible, otherwise the people will be dispersed in an instant.

The most correct decision now is to stick to Wushuang City, wait until most of the Xianbei Army moves further east, then go out of the city to defeat the Xianbei Army guarding around Wushuang City, and then set up an ambush when the Xianbei Army returns, and wipe out the Xianbei Army step by step, but Luo Gu knew this, but he had to go to war immediately. Even if it was just a pretense, he could not let the kings of the countries arise. He only cared about the temple and ignored the emotions of their countries.

All countries responded to the call of the temple to participate in the war. The high priest of the temple has the responsibility to ensure that the lives and property of all countries are not harmed. Xianbei Shanyu, today is your first victory, then let me try the king of You. How strong are the Court Guards?

Luo Gu's eyes burst out with endless murderous intent. Faced with the situation of having to fight, he decided to take action with all his strength. Due to the situation of the coalition forces, he was forced to be guided tactically, so he used the method of using military situation. , using force to overcome skill, the Temple Army, which has never met an opponent across the grasslands of the Western Regions, is his biggest support. He wants to see if the Xianbei people can stop the Temple Army.

The tall and wide gates of Wushuang City slowly opened, and all the kings led their armies and rode out. Looking at the scene of thousands of horses galloping in front of them, Yan Hui stood on a high place, with flags covering the sky around him, in front of him Countless soldiers holding shields, even on the grassland, are not all cavalry. Yan Hui attaches great importance to the role of infantry.

Yan Hui pointed at Wushuang City and laughed loudly to a group of Xianbei nobles: "The turtle shell is very hard and hunters cannot break it, so he gave up in frustration. Today, Ben Shanyu asked the turtle hiding here to throw away its shell and crawl out. This is What a way to defeat the turtle!"

All the Xianbei nobles laughed wildly when they heard this. Yan Hui raised his hands and the laughter stopped suddenly. Yan Hui drew his sword and said: "The joke is over. Anyone who dares to rely on himself will win. Facing the Western Region Temple Army, he was negligent, resulting in After suffering heavy casualties and defeat, I decided to chop off your head and throw your body into the wilderness, where the wolves in the wilderness will eat your body.

Even though victory is inevitable, the military order is still as strong as a mountain and cannot be disobeyed. Do you understand? "

All the nobles solemnly said in unison: "Yes, great Chanyu!"

"Go and kill, so that this Shanyu can celebrate for you!"

A group of Xianbei generals rode away, leaving only a few eight or nine-year-old children beside Yan Hui. Looking at the murderous battlefield, their faces were full of shock and excitement. Yan Hui looked at this A few children seemed to have seen Xianbei's future.

The Xianbei army roared in unison. Two light cavalry archers rushed out on the left and right. The armored cavalry behind them paced slowly. They had not yet accelerated. The infantry holding shields and guns pressed behind them step by step. It was not the time for them to attack yet. , the military order has not yet been issued, so we can only prepare, watching the horse archers whizzing past, flying and dancing like butterflies in front of the army.

After Luo Gu’s adjustments, the Western Regions Army performed much better than when they first faced the Xianbei Army’s tactics. However, facing the prisoners rushing towards them in the front row, the Western Regions soldiers’ hearts were still agitated. Luo Gu waved the military flag, and the Western Regions countries pressed Shoot every time.

"High Priest, can't we attack yet?"
