After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.
Chapter 137 Ambush
By the time the intelligence soldiers came back, it was already full moon.
After listening to the intelligence soldier's report, Li Xiujing pointed to the terrain map in front of him and said: "Although the Turkic cavalry is strong, there are deserts on both sides of Fengzhou, and there is only one fertile land in the east. There must not be much horse supplies in the city, and the Turks If you want to keep your horses strong, you have to go out of the city to graze. Our army can set up an ambush here to seize their horses."
All the Turkic combat power is concentrated on the cavalry, and taking away their horses is equivalent to strangling their combat power. Without many cavalry, the Turks' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"How many people will the general take?"
"Five hundred people."
"Would this be too risky?" General Shence frowned.
Li Xiujing smiled and said unceremoniously: "Soldiers are treacherous. It is not a good idea to attack the enemy head-on with the current strength. If you don't take the risk of a surprise attack, how can you know the strength of the enemy?" He patted the general on the shoulder and said: " The camp is left to you."
"Here."
Li Xiujing immediately reviewed the military supplies and equipment in the camp and other matters, and then asked He Liang to personally select 500 people, ready to go at any time.
Although the Youshence Army has always been strictly disciplined, there is no guarantee that no spies will sneak into it. Therefore, key operational deployments cannot be informed in advance to avoid leaking secrets.
When the sky was light, Li Xiujing sent an order to congratulate Liang. Let him order the five hundred people to wait until the fifth watch before setting off.
Standing in the hazy sky, He Liang and five hundred elites waited for a long time and finally welcomed Li Xiujing. Li Xiujing ordered He Liang to quickly count the number of people and set off in the morning light.
A mighty force of five hundred elites left the camp and headed straight to the grazing land in the east.
Ashina Qingli, who led the Turkic army this time, had fought with him six years ago, and this time he brought 30,000 people. It seems that he is determined to attack the Great Wall and lead his army to Chang'an. The loss of Fengzhou meant that the defense line of the Kanai Road would also have to move inward.
Even if there are two states, Ling and Xia, it is difficult to resist the Turkic cavalry. At that time, Heshuo's group will also use this to threaten the imperial court.
The morning wind carried the dryness of autumn, and the goshawks circled above their heads and flew high, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves.
There is a wooded area to the left of the ambush grazing area. Although it is already late autumn and winter, there are still many dead leaves hanging stubbornly on the treetops, forming a natural barrier. There are many piles of rocks beside it. The forwards of the Right Shence Army were lying in ambush here, holding their breath and staring ahead.
The intelligence soldiers who went to explore the road quietly sneaked back. He lowered his voice and said, "They came out, two thousand people in total." He took a breath, "There are eight hundred horses in total."
Li Xiujing nodded upon hearing this, and summoned General Shence and deputy generals as well as He Liang and Feng Yuanxian to quickly confirm the combat deployment. It goes without saying that He and Feng had a tacit understanding with him. The You Shence Army is also experienced in foreign conquests and has extremely high quality. With just a few pointers, you'll know what to do.
The forest suddenly became quiet. Several archers, led by He Liang, quietly moved to hide behind the boulders in the distance, waiting only for Li Xiujing's order.
The intelligence soldier turned around and gestured to He Liang. He Liang passed on the news. Soon, the clatter of horse hooves came from directly ahead.
The leading Turkic general looked around and waved to the Turkic soldiers behind him to follow him quickly. Each led the horses they brought and spread out to graze, very leisurely. Some were lying on the ground with impatient expressions, and some were even sitting together chatting.
Li Xiujing squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. He gestured to He Liang. He tilted his head and whispered a few words to Feng Yuanxian.
After giving his instructions, Feng Yuanxian led ten Shence soldiers armed with crossbows and went around from one side.
The Turks are still grazing and chatting leisurely. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Why is there a fire in front?"
Thick smoke filled the air instantly. The Turkic soldiers seemed not to have expected such a sudden fire, and watched as the horses fled in all directions due to fright. Shouting that there is no ambush, please retreat quickly.
Listen to the shouts spread. Li Xiujing stood up and gestured to He Liang again. He took the lead and jumped behind the pile of rocks, holding a crossbow, but it was delayed. Instead, he whispered to He Liang.
The military order was passed on, and suddenly bows and arrows rushed towards the Turkic soldiers like a heavy rain. The already frightened horse was even more uncontrollable at this time and ran away like crazy.
Li Xiujing also triggered the crossbow at this time, and the iron arrow flew straight to the back of the head of the leading Turkic soldier and penetrated the head.
Seeing this, the Turkic soldiers became even more confused, and dust flew up for a while. Don't know where to run.
Shence Jun on the side cast an admiring look at Li Xiujing.
However, Li Xiujing didn't say anything and asked the tooth general next to him to take advantage of the chaos and fire arrows. With the sudden sound of arrows, the Turkic soldiers had no idea and fled in all directions. The raging fire in the west was mercilessly devouring everything around it, and it was difficult to tell the direction under the black smoke.
Another wave of arrows fell. Taking advantage of the fact that the Turkic soldiers lost the ability to argue their direction, Li Xiujing led his men to pursue them in formation. Under the constant rain of arrows, the Turkic soldiers, who had lost their leader, were in great chaos. Many people fell off their horses in panic and were trampled to death by the riders behind them.
Li Xiujing led hundreds of people, under the cover of He Liang, to go around to the front and block the path of this wave of Turkic soldiers. Upon seeing this, the Turkic soldiers wanted to withdraw eastward, but were blocked by He Liang. There are also horseshoes in the south, and the fire continues to the west.
The Turkic soldiers lost their command and were in chaos. The people led by Li Xiujing have become encircled, and they have no way to retreat.
Riding on his horse, Li Xiujing glanced at the Turkic soldiers who were already trapped in the urn, and ordered the final cleanup. After all, they are not of my race, and because of national hatred, they naturally cannot stay.
Following his order, the Shence Army rushed into the Turkic Army.
For a moment, wailing sounds and blood mist intertwined.
The strong smell of blood and burnt smell combined filled the surroundings. The fire stopped in front of the trench dug in advance, and corpses were everywhere on the ground.
"General, all the enemies have been wiped out." He Liang rode to his side and said.
Hearing this, Li Xiujing nodded and asked Feng Yuanxian to lead people to clean up the battlefield, while he led people to recover the lost horses of the Turks. After all, horses are important military assets. He set up this situation to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Turkic cavalry.
Fortunately, the horses did not run too far. An hour later, Feng Yuanxian and his men drove the horses back.
"General, a hundred horses ran away. The rest were all recovered." Feng Yuanxian said loudly.
Listening to Feng Yuanxian's words, Li Xiujing looked into the distance. Ordered the entire army to return to camp and prepare for battle.
Based on his understanding of Ashina's strength, he lost so many horses at once, and the combat effectiveness of his cavalry was greatly weakened. In order to regain the horses, they would most likely go out of the city to chase them.
Although the people he brought out this time were all elite, they were already exhausted. It would be useless for them to forcefully challenge them.
Military orders were passed down from level to level, and Li Xiujing led the crowd back to the camp where they were stationed.
After entering the camp gate, Li Xiujing immediately ordered the camp to break out. Step back three miles and start cooking again. And each team reduces the pot.
