Governor please stay

If the first news made Dou Tai a little uneasy and helpless, then the second news made him greatly relieved.

The scouts reported that there was no trace of Er Zhurong's army around Yangqu County. All in all, the army on the other side of the river was a lone army, and at least they would not be able to wait for reinforcements for the next two days.

"Tonight, the enemy may attack the camp."

Dou Tai said to himself.

On the first night of the confrontation between the two armies, the arrangement of the camp was not so perfect, and the success rate of attacking the camp was also the highest.Dou Tai divided the army into two, and ambushed [-] infantry and [-] cavalry near the pontoon bridge, led by Modolo Loanwen.

Five thousand infantry were left in the camp, ready to guard against danger.

That night, Mo Dolou was a little bored waiting by the pontoon bridge, but found that Erzhu Rong's camp on the other side was brightly lit, and there was no strange place to be seen except the heavy security.

This made Modolou's heart flutter.According to his prediction, Erzhu's army is all cavalry, and the mobility of the cavalry should be used. Tonight, the moonlight is like water, and night raids are normal.

At this moment, he saw the big campfire from a distance, and there was the sound of shouting and killing, and his heart sank!

"General, the camp has been attacked, should we go to reinforce it? If we go late and the camp is destroyed, it will be too late for regret!"

The deputy general persuaded.

"How did the enemy attack the camp? There is obviously no movement on the side of the pontoon bridge."

Modolo asked in confusion.

"General, Fenshui is dry now, not every place can't cross the river. Perhaps the people of the Erzhu family are familiar with the terrain here, found a place where the river can be crossed and crossed directly, and then attacked the weak spot of the camp. place.

If we don't save them, I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will be held accountable, and we will all commit the crime of slowing down the army. "

The deputy general said eagerly.

I have to admit that what the deputy general said made a lot of sense.

Modolo was silent. He was mainly worried that once he withdrew, there would be no guards on the pontoon bridge, which would spoil the food instead.But there were fewer people left, and they couldn't stop the enemy.There are too many people left, and it will not be able to play a role in rescue.

Things on the battlefield often need to be predicted.You can predict the opponent's prediction, but the opponent can also guess you thoroughly, and your prediction is exactly in the opponent's hands.

Something like that is like gambling.

Should the team guarding the pontoon bridge go straight to the enemy camp on the other side, or stay where they are, or return to their own camp to rescue Dou Tai?

For a while, Modolo's credit text fell into the chaos of thinking.

After thinking about it, from a purely military point of view, attacking the enemy camp now is the most risky choice, but it also has the highest success rate.It's just that once it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. Maybe, well, it should be said that it will definitely be punished by military law.

If you stay here all the time and sit back and watch the big camp be broken, maybe Dou Tai will die in the big camp.When the time comes, how will I explain to Gao Huan?Either they murdered their colleagues with ulterior motives, or they were mediocre and didn't know how to use soldiers.

As for bringing troops back to aid, no matter whether there are military achievements or not, at least Dou Tai will appreciate it, and someone will help to say good things when the time comes.Sometimes, even many times, the ability is second, and the attitude is the first.

"In this way, I will give you 500 people, and you guard the pontoon bridge. I will bring the others back to the camp."

Modolo said to the lieutenant general.

He has no foundation by Gao Huan's side, and returning to aid Dou Tai this time can be regarded as accumulating a network of contacts.Even if you make a mistake, you can still use the words "concern leads to chaos" to cover it up.

……

When Modolo returned to the camp, he happened to see Dou Tai commanding his soldiers to put out the fire.This time Erzhu's army cavalry came aggressively and set fire everywhere.Thanks to Dou Tai's preparation, he didn't let those people succeed.

When the fire was almost set off, Erzhu's cavalry withdrew gracefully and calmly, it can be said that they came and went like the wind.Dou Tai didn't leave any organized cavalry in the camp, so he couldn't pursue the fleeing cavalry team, and felt a little regretful in his heart.

"Aren't you supposed to be guarding the pontoon? What are you doing back at the camp?"

Dou Tai asked with a frown when he saw Modolo loaning a thousand cavalry back to the camp.

"Since the big campfire was seen from a distance, 500 people will be left to guard the pontoon bridge, and the rest will come back to support General Dou."

Modolo said without blushing.

After thinking for a while, Dou Tai understood what the other party was worried about.This incident really cannot be blamed on Modolo Loanwen, it can only be said that he made a mistake in dividing his troops. He should let Modolo Loanwen guard the camp and guard the pontoon bridge by himself.

If that's the case, Modolo only needs to fight, and naturally there is no need to consider other things.

"Forget it, you have nothing to do here, go ahead and guard the floating bridge."

Dou Tai waved his hands in disbelief, but did not blame Modolo for disobeying orders.

The subordinate violated the military order to rescue you, and you accused him of rebuking him.Then the next time you encounter this situation, they will stick to the military order and watch you being killed without lending a helping hand.As long as there is still a little bit of emotional intelligence, people will not say anything to criticize Modolo at this moment.

Dou Tai is naturally the same, he only blames himself for making mistakes in judgment.

"By the way, I only saw your cavalry team, where are the infantry?"

Dou Tai suddenly remembered this, and asked in doubt.

"The pawns are running slowly, they are still behind, and they should be almost there now."

Mo Dolou replied, and the surrounding area became quiet at this time, and there was the sound of fighting in the distance.

"It's broken, I fell into Erzhu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

Dou Tai's complexion changed drastically, he hastily asked Mo Dolou to order all the cavalry under his command, while he gathered the infantry in the camp.After arraying, slowly head towards the direction of the pontoon bridge.

Not long after leaving the camp, I saw a "fire dragon" made of torches in the distance, rushing towards me, and under the moonlight, the broken soldiers began to "penetrate" the sparse cavalry. The infantry formation behind the cavalry was rushed to pieces.

Dou Tai's heart sank to the bottom, and he yelled at Modo Lou Wenwen: "We have been tricked, and it is too late to rectify it now. All the cavalry will charge with me, and the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road!"

Things have come to this point, it's too late to make any mistakes, the only way to survive is to fight a bloody path!

Woo!Woo!Woo!

The desolate horn blew, and the two cavalry collided with each other, causing them to be turned on their backs, and each of them suffered casualties.

Bows and arrows are useless now, and it is even difficult to identify friend or foe. Dou Tai fights all by feeling, and he doesn't know if he has killed the cavalry under his command.

And those infantry lines were scattered by the rout, and Erzhu's cavalry had more cavalry, which had already penetrated Dou Tai's cavalry team, fighting and colliding in the infantry formation.

At the critical moment of the battle, Dou Tai found that there was a sudden chaos behind his infantry line. It seemed that a cavalry began to attack the back of the army formation. When it was fragrant, Dou Tai could no longer see his own infantry.

"General Dou, don't go back to the camp, go south with the cavalry, and lead Erzhu's army into the ambush circle!"

Mo Dolou yelled at the top of his voice, waking up the dreamer with a single word!

At this moment, the infantry has lost its organizational system, and it will take time to regroup and a chance to breathe.

However, at this moment, Dou Tai and the others were fighting with thousands of cavalry, and the chance of winning was extremely slim due to the outnumbered enemies.Dou Tai didn't even understand how he failed until now, and he needs to slowly review the game through various information after returning to the camp.

But in any case, at least you have to be able to escape yourself.

It was too late for Mingjin to withdraw troops, Dou Tai and Mo Dolou borrowed their horses and ran away. The cavalry under his command watched the commander leave and ran along with them. Those who had no time to run were surrounded by heavy siege, unable to tell the difference between east, west and north , and was quickly picked off the horse.

……

On both sides of the Fen River in the northwest of Yangqu City, Er Zhuzhao sent troops to resist the vanguard Dou Tai sent by Gao Huan. This army had a mixed infantry and cavalry team of about 9000 people.

Erzhuzhao adopted Erzhu Zhongyuan's strategy, Mingxiu plank road to cross Chencang secretly, and his division crossed the river from a shallower river, attacked Dou Tai's camp, and attracted the main force of Dou Tai's army to return to the camp, while he himself led the main force of cavalry across the pontoon bridge in one fell swoop, instantly killing everyone Defensive pontoon defenders.

Then Er Zhuzhao led the cavalry all the way to Dou Tai's camp, and encountered Dou Tai's infantry on the way back to the camp due to lack of cover.With mental calculations and unintentional calculations, the infantry team was instantly killed and fled in all directions.

Er Zhuzhao, who has entered the best condition, continues to do the tasks he is most familiar with.You don't need to use your brain to think about how to fight, just kill the enemy in front of you.When the last man in Dou Tai's hand encountered him, Er Zhuzhao took advantage of the chaos and loosening of the opponent's infantry formation by deserters and chose to break the formation directly.

It just so happened that Er Zhu Zhongyuan arrived with a partial division and appeared behind Dou Tai's infantry. Under the front and back attack, Dou Tai and Modolou had no time to return to the camp, and fled back to the camp outside Jinyang with a limited number of cavalry. Annihilated to describe.

The disastrous defeat of the vanguard shocked Gao Huan who was sitting in Qixian County. He hurried to the camp to deal with the two defeated generals, Dou Tai and Modolou Daiwen.

Chapter 369 Your Uncle Is Your Uncle After All III

Disgraced and tied up, Dou Tai and Modolou Loanwen sat on the ground in the lobby of the government office without any image, their faces were ashen and defeated, and they did not excuse the disastrous defeat of the troops.

Backed by Wu Ze, Qi County is rich in products, and it is an extremely important node in the Taiyuan Basin.Gao Huan looked at Shu in Long, and saw that Jinzhou was already in his pocket (only Yuan Tianmu was trapped in Huguan City), so he took a large army to Zhaqi County and watched Jinyang as a tiger.

He also sent Duan Rong, Duan Shao and his son to lead the army to besiege Jinyang.

In addition to this elite army, the Yuci City and Gengyang City around Jinyang all have soldiers and horses from the Gao Huan Army garrisoned to provide food and grass for military supplies.All in all, although Gao Huan's army was concentrated around Jinyang, they did not just gather together and wait for Er Zhurong to attack.

Each army was assigned different tasks, some were in charge of besieging the city, some were in charge of reinforcements, forming a dense network, waiting for Er Zhurong, a ferocious shark, to come.

Gao Huan had learned from previous experiences and deployed his troops reasonably this time. He didn't think he would lose, and there was no possibility that Er Zhurong could completely win back the chips he lost before in a decisive battle.

Unexpectedly, Dou Tai went out to test Yangqu, and the whole army was wiped out, which completely disrupted Gao Huan's plan.

"So far, what else do you two have to say?"

Gao Huan sat on the front seat in the lobby of the government office, and asked with a sad face.

"Er Zhurong's army pretended to attack the camp, and diverted the tiger away from the mountain. We failed to see through his treachery, so that most of the whole army was lost, and we were willing to be punished."

Dou Tai sighed and said, how can a defeated general speak bravely, now he can only talk softly.Anyway, he knew very well that it was impossible for Gao Huan to kill him. After all, he was brother-in-law. If he killed him, who would dare to get close to Gao Huan in the future?

Although it is impossible for Gao Huan to have more brothers-in-law, his children are also growing up slowly, gradually reaching the age of marrying and marrying.

In the next stage, Gao Huan will probably put the matter of marrying children and in-laws on the agenda. How could he kill himself at this juncture!Dou Tai thought very clearly.

"Back then, Zhuge beheaded Ma Di to enforce the law of the army. Although you and I were brother-in-law, but... alas, come, I dragged the two of them out and beheaded, in order to enforce the army's discipline. The command and prohibition of the army has its own laws. If the general is guilty, he must be punished severely. loan."

Gao Huan turned his head away from looking at Dou Tai, and waved his hand feebly, as if tears were falling.

"Prime Minister! This time, we are in a fierce battle with Er Zhurong. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How can the army kill the general at the slightest defeat? It is better to write down the previous crimes and order the two of them to pay for their merits. Everything is waiting for Er Zhu to be wiped out." Empress Rong, it's not too late to make a decision!"

Sun Teng rushed over to snatch the command arrow that Gao Huan wanted to throw out, and pulled the opponent's sleeve and begged.

"Prime Minister, it's not too late to make meritorious deeds!"

All the generals stood up to intercede for Dou Tai, not to say how much they liked Dou Tai, but a general emotion of sorrow for the death of a rabbit.Maybe in the future, it will be my turn to lose my teacher and humiliate the country, and I will have to ask others to intercede for me.It doesn't make any sense to add insult to injury at this time.

"Oh, what do you call me?"

Gao Huan sighed persistently, shook his head in disappointment, and remained silent for a long time.

"Prime Minister, let the two of them be the governors and lead the remnants as the vanguard. This matter is temporarily suppressed. It's not like it didn't happen. It's just that they will be liquidated after returning to Yecheng. This does not violate military law.

Furthermore, legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. The two generals have worked hard without credit. If the battle is not good in the future, it is not too late to settle the old and new scores together. "

Sun Teng persuaded calmly.

Both Dou Tai and Modolo looked at him with grateful eyes. Although they knew it was a play, it was a great favor for Sun Teng to intercede twice.

"Then let's do this. Capital crimes can be avoided and life crimes can't be escaped, and twenty army sticks will be used as an example. Now, the two of you will quickly explain the details of this battle, and there must be no omissions!"

Sure enough, Gao Huan's board was raised high, and then gently lowered.

In front of everyone, the two set up camp by the Fen River, built a pontoon bridge, divided the troops at night, and were finally transferred from the mountain to defeat them one by one. Everyone in the lobby looked strange.

Speaking of it, Dou Tai really lost quite unjustly.

It seems that their marching strategy is not a big problem, that is, they suffered from unfamiliarity with the geography. They did not expect that Erzhu's army would forcefully cross the Fenshui River late at night from the shallower river, but this is not the winner of the battle.

To be honest, the enemy's feigned attack on the camp, which caused the troops guarding the pontoon bridge to return to the camp, was the root cause of the failure of this battle.The army of the Tou Erzhu family here also took advantage of some luck, otherwise, Dou Tai might lose, but he would be able to take the remnant soldiers back to the camp outside Jinyang City.

Anyway, one thing is certain, that is, Er Zhurong not only has the strength to fight, but even has a lot of strength.It is far from the "sunset" and "betrayal of relatives" as imagined before.

"King Gao, the last general is willing to lead his troops to Yangqu!"

Gao Aocao stood up and said, asking Gao Huan to fight.The current situation is very obvious. It is impossible for Dou Tai and Modolo Loanwen to send out to attack Yangqu again. This is not only for their own good, but also for the sake of winning the battle.

"Well, General Gao is fine. By the way, Lou Zhao, you can go with General Gao."

Gao Huan said to his brother-in-law.

Eh?

Lou Zhao, who had always watched the nose with the eyes and the heart with the nose, often fished and paddled during the war, raised his head and looked at Gao Huan in bewilderment.

"Have trouble?"

Gao Huan asked calmly.

"Brother-in-law... King Gao, I'm not familiar with General Gao's moves, I don't know who is stronger and who is weaker, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Lou Zhao said with some embarrassment.Although he is not familiar with Gao Aocao's trilogy, but this trip is only as a "supervisor" role, so as to prevent Gao Aocao from rebelling (although this possibility is extremely low).

Lou Zhao refused to go because of another reason.

He believes that Dou Tai is skilled in bowing horses and became famous very early, otherwise he would not have become the son-in-law of the Lou family.As a result, Dou Tai suffered a defeat in Yangqu, obviously there are dragons and tigers in front of him!Lou Zhao didn't want to go to the front to die. He had his sister, Lou Zhaojun, who could blow the pillow wind. Anyway, wealth is guaranteed, so why go to the front line and risk your life for the future?

"King Gao, the last general is willing to go with General Gao."

At this time, someone appeared in the lobby, an unfamiliar face. The name of this person was Yao Xiong and Gao Huan, who had not been around for a long time.His hometown is near the eldest son, so Gao Huan brought him with him this time.

Yaoxiong is brave in battle and obeys orders. He executes tactics thoroughly and never compromises, so he is highly respected by Gao Huan.Now that the other party has offered to invite Ying, it is difficult for Gao Huan to refuse.

"That's fine, Gao Aocao and Yaoxiong will be the main generals and deputy generals, and let the troops from the headquarters go. Remember, don't cross the river easily!"

Gao Huan was also a little scared by Er Zhurong.

How about Er Zhurong, you can think that this person has no political sense, his thinking is naive and indecisive; you can also think that he is unable to govern the world, and his methods are rough and unpopular.
