I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Anyway, the matter has already happened, all he can do is to remind the magistrates of the counties and counties to tell the king, admit a small mistake first, and if any big disturbance occurs in the future, his charges can be less. Although the tactic of protecting one's life wisely is old-fashioned, it works.

When the prefect of Shuzhou received his warning letter, several large market towns and some villages in Tianzhong County, the capital of Tiandong County, had been washed away by the nasty Tang Army Qingqi.

In the evening, Shangxingyun led the tiger and leopard cavalry into a forest. Xia Houheng led five hundred cavalry in the rear to ambush a Jin army's night-buying team that was following behind. After completely annihilating the night-buying team, He led the team to rendezvous with the large army. The exhausted soldiers fell on the grass and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

They washed in Shuzhou County, and then rushed into Yanyun County. The sky was getting dark, the soldiers were exhausted, and Shang Xingyun had to find a place to rest.

Don't look at the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers riding three times alone, running thousands of miles, coming and going without a trace, but bumping on horseback for a long time, and sometimes fighting, this consumes a lot of physical energy, and the lone army went deep into the hinterland of the Jin Empire, and the nerves were tense It is very tight, and it is definitely not something ordinary people can bear.

Shang Xingyun led dozens of personal guards into another forest on the opposite side, dug a hole to bury the looted gold and silver beads and other valuable things, and some fragile items such as antique calligraphy and paintings had to be carefully wrapped in oiled paper. Then put it into a special bamboo tube, bury it in the ground, and then mark it on the map, and send someone to pick it up after the fighting subsides.

Although the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Department are spread all over the mainland, these spies must not be easily exposed, and the hundreds of special agents who secretly follow the cover cannot be followed all the time, so most of the looted stuff is buried somewhere hidden dense place.

After Xia Houheng ate the dry food, he was wrapped in a military blanket and lay on the grass. Although he was exhausted, he didn't feel sleepy at all. Murong Zhen's voice and smile always flashed in his mind and couldn't get away.

Chapter 295 I'm so happy

When Shang Xingyun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to plunder the two counties under the jurisdiction of Yanyun County, the memorial of Xiong Molin, the prefect of Pennsylvania, and the urgent report of the prefect of Yanyun County were presented to King Hua Zhao of Jin at almost the same time.

"Bastard, you're all worthless, trash!"

King Jin, who was not in a good mood, kicked down the desk in front of him in anger, and all the ministers were silent.

It's no wonder that the King of Jin was unhappy. The 20 troops quickly captured the two important towns of Jiankang and Qing'an in the Zhou Empire, but failed to capture Jianye City as scheduled.

However, King Zhou's national mobilization has already assembled 30 troops to defend Jin'an City, the capital of the emperor, and the divisions of all walks of life who serve the king are still gathering in a steady stream.

In addition, the 20 reinforcements from the Tang Empire had already arrived at the city of Jianye, posing for a decisive battle. The 20 Jin army had to give up attacking Jianye, retreat more than ten miles, set up camp, and put on a defensive posture to meet the attack of the coalition forces. Big counterattack.

And the King of Han also sent [-] troops to reinforce the Zhou Empire, and the army would reach Jianye City in a few days.

That is to say, with the arrival of 20 reinforcements from the Tang Empire, it is still a question of whether the Jin army can hold Jianye City, let alone capture it. After all, the strength of the two sides is too great.

Turning from offense to defense is not good news for the Jin Empire. The current situation is not good for the Jin Empire. A new round of century war has begun, and the mainland empires have already deployed their troops Attacking the border fortresses of the Jin Empire seriously restrained the strength of the Jin Empire.

The King of Jin was already upset, but another ten thousand cavalry from the Tang Empire went deep into the hinterland of the empire, turning the counties and counties upside down, and the prefects of the counties were helpless, why didn't he fly into a rage? "What's the best strategy, gentlemen?"

After getting angry, King Jin rubbed his painful temples and looked around at the ministers in front of him.

"I believe that now that the coalition forces are powerful, they should not rush to a decisive battle. They should retreat, defend Qing'an and Jianye to the death, and send troops to reinforce them at the same time."

A minister suggested that although it is a moderate strategy, it is worse than rushing to a decisive battle with the coalition forces. If they lose, the occupied Qing'an and Jianye counties will probably be difficult to hold. It is better to shrink the defense line and stick to it. At least it can be regarded as the harvest of this expedition Bar.

Although it is a middle-of-the-road strategy, judging from the current situation, it is indeed better to shrink its troops and stick to it with all its strength. The result is luck.

Seeing a group of ministers seconding the proposal, King Jin also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he also meant this. After all, the empire fought on multiple fronts, a large number of troops were restrained, and the daily consumption of supplies was astonishing. No matter how rich the empire was, it could not afford such a burden. Toss ah.

Some ministers also suggested that Marshal Mingzhu, who was temporarily ordered to stay in Tiandu County to deter the Golden Empire, would be recalled and transferred to the southern front, where she would lead the army to a decisive battle with the coalition forces.

This proposal was not supported by many ministers, and none of the people present doubted the military talent of Marshal Mingzhu, but if she took all the credit, what else could they gain?

Driven by interests, most of the ministers present opposed this proposal.

King Jin would also not agree to this suggestion. Just kidding, Mingzhu is so young, she has already been appointed as the Marshal of the Empire, and if she makes great achievements, how can he be rewarded?

The capable ministers with high meritorious deeds have reached the point where there is nothing to reward, and they can only beheaded.

Fortunately, Mingzhu is a woman, a young and beautiful woman. Even though King Jin is afraid, he has no intention of murdering her. If she were a man, she might have turned into a bone of bones.

The matter of the southern battlefield was settled in this way, and the next step was how to solve the problem of the [-] cavalry of the Tang Empire fleeing in the hinterland of the empire.

General Huwei Yu Jiahui was the first to speak out, willing to lead the army to encircle and suppress this lone army that has penetrated deep into the Tang army.

The 1 cavalry troops of the Tang Empire went deep into the hinterland of the empire alone. The purpose was to harass and divert the strength and attention of the empire. Although the number was small, it was extremely destructive and must be eliminated.

His plan is to use the cavalry to deal with the cavalry, as long as he bites the opponent tightly, so that he can't hide, and then the army will encircle and annihilate him.

However, his condition is to use the 3000 Royal Forest Cavalry to defend the imperial capital, and temporarily borrow the cavalry troops from the three counties of Yanyun, Shuzhou, Binzhou, and the prefect must cooperate with him unconditionally.

Theoretically, the success of this method is very high, Jin Wang was overjoyed, and immediately entrusted this important task to Huwei General Yu Jiahui.

After Yu Jiahui took the order, he left excitedly.

The Imperial Forest Cavalry is the elite of the elite cavalry of the empire. In addition to his personal guards and cavalry troops drawn from the three counties, no matter how he can gather 8000 cavalry, he also has infantry from the three counties It can be mobilized, as long as the enemy army is stalked to death and the infantry encircles it on three sides, it will definitely annihilate the Tang Empire's [-]-strong cavalry that dared to go deep alone, and make outstanding military exploits.

Two days later, Yu Jiahui led 3000 Royal Forest Cavalry and [-] personal guards to leave Beijing, and rushed to Yanyun County excitedly.

Before arriving at Yanyun County, King Jin's holy mission had already been sent to the three counties, and the cavalry from the three counties were rushing to assemble, except for the unreserved handing over of the three thousand light cavalry that had been put together with great difficulty by Binzhou prefect Xiong Molin, Yan Yunshu The prefects of the two prefectures were not happy. Although they each sent [-] cavalry, the horses were all mules and horses, and there were no good horses outside the Great Wall.

Although Yu Jiahui was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. Although he held the holy order, he did not dare to offend others severely.

Soon, he threw the unhappiness in his heart out of the sky, and he looked very high-spirited. He now has more than [-] in his hand, and the strength of the two sides is equal. It's a sure thing.

The outstanding military exploits are beckoning to him.

Although Yu Jiahui was overjoyed in his heart, he was considered a battle-hardened veteran, and he was not overjoyed. He first sent out a large number of Yebushou and reconnaissance cavalry to search for the enemy's whereabouts, and then The army walked slowly along the official road, which could be regarded as recharging their energy.

At noon, the scouts reported back one after another, and Li Village in Yi County, Zhaojiazhuang, Yang County, under the jurisdiction of Binzhou County, and Li Village, Yi County, under the jurisdiction of Yanyun County, were simultaneously ransacked by the cavalry of the Tang Army.

Not long after, another cavalry reconnaissance returned, and Wangjiaji under the jurisdiction of Shuzhou County was ransacked by Tang cavalry.

"God help me too!"

Yu Jiahui couldn't help the pride in his heart, and laughed wildly. Ten thousand cavalry in one place is indeed a powerful force that cannot be underestimated. What is it if it is not suicide?

Yu Jiahui thought for a while, and immediately ordered to march towards Pennsylvania. His first target was the cavalry of the Tang Army in Pennsylvania County.

He was seeking far away because of his selfishness, whoever called the prefect of Yanyun and Shuzhou two counties made him unhappy, and they might not accept his affection.

Shuzhou's Xiong Molin Xiong Taishou is interesting enough, let's help him solve the big trouble first.

Ten thousand cavalry galloped forward along the spacious and flat official road, the rumble of hoofs was earth-shattering, and billowing dust and smoke covered the sky and the sun.

Chapter 296

In Pennsylvania County, the flat official road surrounds Mount Mount, extending forward like a long snake. In the dense forest halfway up the mountain, Xia Houheng and a group of cadres hid inside. They saw Yu Jiahui's [-] cavalry galloping past. There was no tension at all, on the contrary full of excitement and anticipation.

The majestic ace cavalry of the empire, the purpose of this expedition was to become a robber and rob everywhere. It would be embarrassing to spread it. It would be a lie to say that he has no complaints in his heart.

The task of this trip is not only to cooperate with the tiger and leopard cavalry, but also to spy on and deliver information. Yu Jiahui led 3000 imperial guards to ride out of the three counties of Beijing, Binzhou, Yanyun and Shuzhou. Smell, the information was quickly passed to Shang Xingyun.

Shang Xingyun knew that this was the Jin Empire's plan to use cavalry to deal with his tiger and leopard cavalry. Anyone would do the same. When the war of the century broke out, King Jin would not allow the hinterland of the empire to be turned upside down by the tiger and leopard cavalry. I want to get rid of the thorn in my side and the thorn in my flesh.

Yu Jiahui commanded a total of [-] light cavalry, more than three times that of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and had a clear advantage in terms of military strength. Among them, the [-] imperial cavalry were still the elite of the elite, but the tiger and leopard cavalry were so easy to deal with , then it is not called the ace of the empire, the army of prodigals who are so extravagant that people vomit blood.

He drew up a plan of action, first using the super mobility of the tiger and leopard cavalry to divide his troops to loot everywhere, and then wait for Yu Jiahui's actions before making a decision.

To be honest, with only [-] tiger and leopard cavalry, he has absolute confidence to defeat Yu Jiahui's [-] light cavalry in a head-to-head confrontation, but the loss is bound to be heavy. Stupid, what he needs is a perfect win.

Not long after Yu Jiahui led [-] light cavalry through Mangshan Road, several small groups of cavalry came galloping from the official road in the east and west directions. , All the way to clear Yu Jiahui's Yebushou and Tanqi scattered everywhere. Without these eyeliners, Yu Jiahui is blind if he can't grasp the information.

Yu Jiahui led 500 Qingqi across Mangshan Road and arrived near Tanjia Village. He reined in his horses and issued a series of orders. A cavalry team of [-] people stayed on the trail. If the Tang army escaped from the trail, they didn't have to fight, just bite them hard behind them.

After the subordinates were finished, Yu Jiahui led a large group of troops to Zhaojiazhuang, Yangxian County. Because the reconnaissance cavalry returned, the Tang army's light cavalry troops were still looting there.

However, when he led a large team to Zhaojiazhuang, Tang Jun had long since disappeared except for a few poor families who were crying to death.

They came all the way, and all the imperial knights couldn't do anything even if they wanted to smoke some money. These big households have been washed all over. Although there are still many valuable big things, they are not convenient to carry. , everyone gritted their teeth and cursed this hateful Tang army who had no conscience and didn't leave them half a copper coin.

However, they soon became happy. This Tang army ran around and robbed. It is said that they robbed many aristocratic families and wealthy families. There are countless valuable things. If they can catch up with them and defeat them, then Don't you want to make a big fortune?

It is said that there must be a brave man under a great reward, and now there is no need for Yu Jiahui to mention whether to reward or not, just the innumerable treasures in Tang Jun's hands can make people jealous and risk their lives to fight.

Yulinqi is the Tian family's army, and their status and treatment are not comparable to ordinary troops. They have always been domineering. Even if Yu Jiahui has a sacred order, he can't really command them. Everyone was jealous, the crowd was aggressive, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he had no choice but to follow suit and order the army to chase after him.

There are obvious messy hoof prints on the ground, the army only needs to chase along the hoof prints, and they are not afraid of chasing the enemy, but out of safety considerations, Yu Jiahui still ordered a thousand Royal Forest Cavalry as the front army, I led a large group of people to follow behind.

Let's say that Hu Chong, Yu Jiahui's bodyguard, was ordered to lead three thousand Qingqi to stay on the official road. Everyone was free and sat in twos and threes under the shade of a tree or on the grass by the side of the road to rest. A thousand or so cavalrymen from the Tang army were galloping towards this side.

In fact, there is no need to report from the scouts, everyone can see the billowing dust and smoke in the distance, and know that a large group of cavalry is galloping here.

Hu Chong's mind quickly calculated that three thousand was against one thousand, and he was waiting for work at leisure. No matter what, his own side had the absolute advantage, and no one would miss this good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

In fact, meritorious service is only second. The most important thing is that the Tang army ransacked everywhere. It is said that they robbed a lot of valuable gold, silver and jewelry. As long as they can be caught, they can pay a large sum of money.

Faced with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels, no one could remain calm. Without Hu Chong's order, all the soldiers got on their horses, with their iron swords out of their sheaths, ready to charge out at any time.

"Follow me!"

The morale was so high that Hu Chong's spirit was lifted. He drew his admiration, pointed forward, and rushed out first with a roar. The three thousand Qingqi immediately rushed out with the roar, like a torrent of iron and steel, crushing the oncoming one Thousand Tang Army cavalry.

The Qing cavalry of the Tang army saw a large number of cavalry of the Jin army approaching from a distance, and immediately turned their horses around and fled back and forth.

"kill!"

Hu Chong, who took the lead, saw that the cavalry of the Tang army consisted of three cavalry, and the number would not exceed 400.

Ten to one, just one person can drown more than 300 enemies by spitting out their saliva. Only fools will hesitate if they have made military exploits and made a lot of money.

You chased and chased each other, and the two sides chased for ten miles. A Tang army cavalry with a number of about [-] people suddenly rushed out from a small path, and greeted them with arrows without saying hello.

The cavalry of the Jin army who were chasing was caught off guard, and dozens of cavalry were shot down immediately. The cavalry of the Tang army continued to approach, and another pile of arrows shot down. Amid the sad hiss of the horses, dozens of soldiers were shot down. horse.

Hu Chong ordered his men to lead [-] cavalry to fight, but he still led the main force to pursue the fleeing cavalry of the Tang army. He was surprised when he saw that the enemy could ride and shoot. Fortunately, he had an absolute advantage in troops. But don't worry too much.

On a not-so-high hillside, Shang Xingyun watched Hu Chong lead the main force to chase farther and farther, a playful smile escaped from the corner of his lips, and said to Xia Houheng beside him: "First play hide-and-seek with the enemy, and lure Divide up the enemy's forces, then gather and annihilate them, this is the wolf pack tactic invented by the young master."

Xia Houheng nodded, but with a strange expression on his face. This tactic of luring the enemy into division and then gathering and annihilating them can be summed up in four words, wolf pack tactics. Why do words feel weird?

Chapter 297

The [-] cavalry left by Yu Jiahui were chasing after the [-] Tang Jun Qingqi. On the surface, they seemed to have the upper hand, but only Chen Duwei, who was calmer in mind, knew the feeling best.

Tang Jun was indeed chased by them and ran all over the ground. However, they could ride and shoot like soldiers on the prairie outside the Great Wall. They shot arrows while fleeing. A dozen or twenty soldiers were shot by arrows and fell off their horses.

People can beat you, but you can't beat them. This is the most aggrieved and maddening feeling.

After chasing for a few laps, Captain Chen glanced back inadvertently, his face turned pale and bloodless, he was too busy chasing people, and didn't pay attention to counting the number of people, and the cavalry team of 500 people was killed by others unconsciously , which used to have an advantage in numbers, is now completely reversed.

What was even more terrible was that two cavalry teams of the Tang Army suddenly rushed out from both sides, completely outflanking his cavalry team.

"Follow me to break through!"

He chased him all over the ground just now, and he was surrounded by heavy soldiers in the blink of an eye. The gap between heaven and hell is really unacceptable.

However, Captain Chen was also a battle-hardened veteran, so he quickly reacted and hurriedly led the remaining hundreds of soldiers to break through.

It's a pity that he only ran for less than a mile. He found that the horses he stepped off were running slower and slower, but Tang Jun's riding speed did not decrease at all.

Looking at the less than 50 people alive around him, the ashen-faced Chen Duwei dropped the iron sword in his hand, and crouched on the ground with his head in his arms.

Shang Xingyun ordered the soldiers to take away the enemy's war horses, and then with a sigh of relief, he gave the order to slaughter the captives.

There is no way to kill the prisoners. The tiger and leopard cavalry went deep into the hinterland of the Jin Empire. There are many crises. Except for the necessities such as dry food and weapons, everything is a burden. But if these prisoners are released like this, they will pick up weapons again after returning. , Therefore, he could only give the order to slaughter the prisoners.

Next, Shang Xingyun did not go to reinforce and lure the [-] subordinates of Hu Chong's subordinates, but repeated the same plan. First, he played hide-and-seek with the [-] Jin army Qingqi who were guarding on the trail, luring them to divide their troops, and then used the superior force Gathering and annihilating them, the wolves' tactics were fully displayed, which greatly impressed Xia Houheng, who had just joined the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Qin Empire, Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although the Li family father and son have a clear division of labor, one is in charge of the government and the other is in charge of the army, but important information such as intelligence and battle reports are in duplicate and distributed to the father and son.

Li Gang naturally knew the little tricks his son was playing, and sent tiger and leopard cavalry deep into the hinterland of the Jin Empire to harass him. He also knew that the so-called "harassment" was just a name. The aristocratic families and powerful families of the Jin Empire who looted the money of the rich and powerful.

Although this action is shameless and obscene, it is the fastest way to restore the empire.

In order to regain Pingtang Dangerous Pass and defend it, not counting the soldiers lost in the war, the consumption of various materials alone is innumerable. Even now that the War of the Century broke out and the Tang Empire temporarily stopped attacking, the army still besieged the city, and the empire also Don't dare to be negligent in the slightest. There are also a large number of troops stationed to confront each other. The daily consumption of the army is astonishing. Now it depends on who can't sustain it first.

At this point, Li Gang has no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on, even though the empire's treasury is so empty that even the mice have moved.

The protracted war is terrible, but Li Gang believes that he will not have a good time, and Tang Wang Jili will not be much better. Besides, the empire is now a temporary respite, and the Tang Empire is next to the Zhou Empire. The army reinforced the Zhou Empire, wars continued, and supplies were consumed more and faster. Based on this estimate, the Tang Empire should be the first to fail.

Li Gang doesn't care how Li Wei plays, as long as he doesn't risk himself like last time, scaring people's three souls and seven souls away. full of doubts.

Don't look at the [-] tiger and leopard cavalry rioting in the hinterland of others, but as long as they are clear-headed, encircled by a large army, and block the main border roads with a force, not only will the tiger and leopard cavalry lose room to maneuver, they may even come back. It's all a problem.

Li Gang couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, so he sent his confidantes to Yi County. In the end, Li Wei's reply surprised him, and there were only four words to adapt to the situation.

How to make the tiger and leopard cavalry withdraw safely?

Li Wei and Wu You racked their brains on this question, thinking of many possibilities, but they all felt unsafe, mainly because the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any wrong decision may ruin the tiger and leopard cavalry. The firm has the right to adapt to circumstances.

Li Wei's wisdom team can predict the general situation of the battle. Of course, everyone's opinion is different, but Li Wei and the left and right military advisers have roughly the same views. Although the coalition forces are powerful, they still cannot defeat the mighty Jin The empire, at most, would lose both sides. In the final analysis, it was because there was no unified command power, and the commanders of the empires were selfish. When the negotiation was completed, the opportunity to fight was already missed.

However, this time in the battle of the century, the generals of the Jin Empire no longer blindly wanted to defeat the coalition forces as soon as possible and rushed to a decisive battle with the coalition forces. The war is bound to last.

Once the war between the two sides fell into a stalemate, that is, when the tiger and leopard cavalry withdrew, as for the method and route of evacuation, it was up to Shang Xingyun to decide. All they had to do was to cooperate fully and let the tiger and leopard cavalry withdraw safely.

A large thatched shed was built beside the Fen River, a small tributary of the Nujiang River. Li Wei and Wu You were sitting in the thatched shed, fishing with fishing rods in their hands, looking relaxed and freehand.

Both of them gained a lot, but what made Li Wei a little depressed was that Wu You, who had just learned to fish, caught mostly palm-sized fish, while most of the fish he caught were small fish the size of two fingers. Very shocked.

The most important reason why Wu You is able to cheat people without paying for their lives is that he is good at observing his face, he catches big fish by himself, and it feels very good to walk the fish, but the young master catches only small fish, so this will not work. , although his luck today is very good, but this fish can't watch his face like a human, so he has to think of a way quickly.
