Three Kingdoms: I am not an ant thief Chapter 125, I have been fighting for a lifetime, and I have never seen such a general who is so greedy for life and fear of death
Chapter 125, I have been fighting for a lifetime, and I have never seen such a general who is so greedy for life and fear of death
"What is He Lian doing? Doesn't he know that this kind of behavior will ruin 30,000 warriors!" Murong Peng said with anger when he saw He Lian running away.
Tuoba Mo also sighed and said: "We shouldn't have chosen him to be the Great Khan in the first place. This is the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. His behavior today has completely disgraced Tan Shihuai's Great Khan.
"
After Tan Shihuai died in the battle, the entire Xianbei Kingdom was leaderless. Tan Shihuai's sons became the backup candidates for the Great Khan. At that time, Tan Shihuai's sons each had their own supporters.
Among them, the most prestigious one is his eldest son Kuizong. Because he is the oldest, he has experienced military exploits with Tan Shihuai in the south and north, and many tribal leaders support him.
Tuoba Mo naturally became a supporter of He Lian because his daughter married He Lian, and He Lian used the strategies he learned from the Han people to join forces and actually defeated all his brothers and forced the prestige to death.
The tallest brother took over the position of Great Khan of the Xianbei people.
And it was precisely because of this success that He Lian always regarded strategy as the strongest means to rule Xianbei.
But this time he was disappointed. The Xianbei country, which has always been dominated by reckless men, looked down upon any strategy at all. Instead, it believed that the methods used by Helian were all conspiracy and tricks.
Following the orders of the Great Khan again, He Lian ordered not to leave Baitan Mountain.
Luri Deyan was also extremely disappointed with Helian, but he still gave the command and said: "Now the morale of the soldiers has dropped greatly, and we can no longer continue to fight against Lei Gong's men, blow the retreat horn! At the same time, we will also go to meet these warriors!
"
"Woo, woo, woo!"
When the Xianbei men lost all their morale, they heard the horn of retreat and turned their horses around to retreat to the rear without even thinking.
Wang Yong originally wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the enemy, but when he saw tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry appearing from behind, he could only order his soldiers to retreat and watch these Xianbei cavalry warily.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Xu Wei's men appeared on the battlefield with fierce drums beating. The soldiers quickly arranged themselves from columns to horizontal formations. Eight giant phalanxes faced the Xianbei people face to face.
Looking at Xu Wei's military formation, Luri Demo sighed: "No wonder Luo Luo Bupo said that Lei Gong's subordinates have a rigorous military formation. This formation is even more rigorous than the Northern Army back then. If Lei Gong wasn't a traitor to the Han Dynasty, I would have thought
What Lei Gong brought here are the elite of the Han Dynasty."
At this time, a chariot came out. Xu Wei was sitting on this chariot. He shouted: "Xianbei people, why are you attacking my territory? Since I came to Mayi, I have been selling briquette stoves, iron pots, sweaters, etc."
I’ll give you the goods that are lacking on the grassland, and I think I’m quite friendly to you!”
At this time, He Lian had already woken up from the panic. He knew that if he didn't do something to remedy the situation, he wouldn't be able to survive this big sweat.
So he shouted to Xu Weiwei: "You exchange one sweater for 10 sheep on our grassland. This is considered friendly, especially since this sweater is knitted with the wool of these 10 sheep. Every sweater you have is in vain."
You robbed 10 sheep on the grassland, and there are millions of cattle and sheep in Mayi. You used this despicable method to rob us. We are here now, but we just want to get back our own wealth!"
"Yes, we want to get back our own wealth!" The surrounding tribal leaders felt that these words spoke to their hearts, and they all supported He Lian.
Xu Wei was shocked. Although everything this man said was unreasonable. Without him spinning wool into wool, how could this sweater be knitted? There were no Xianbei people knitting a sweater themselves. But he had to admit that this was a talent.
, he actually said such fallacies so confidently and without changing his face, he is a diplomatic talent.
Xu Wei said with interest: "Boy, you are a talented person. Are you interested in working with me? I will be treated well. It is better than eating windy sand and blowing cold wind on the grassland. It would be a waste to leave all your talents on the grassland."
He Lian was shocked. Someone finally appreciated his talent, but he didn't expect it to be Lei Gong, his enemy.
Fortunately, he quickly realized that they were enemies. He said fiercely: "I am the Great Khan Helian of Xianbei. Who do you think Lei Gong is? How dare you accept me as my subordinate!"
Xu Wei suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are the despicable, shameless, insidious and treacherous villain He Lian that is widely spread on the grassland!"
These words almost made He Lian furious. These damn traitorous ministers slandered me like this, and now this reputation has spread to the big men.
He Lian said angrily: "If you dare to slander me like this, my 100,000 cavalry will trample you into powder."
Xu Wei mocked: "It is said that you can't get out of Baitan Mountain. Do you really have 100,000 cavalry? I have 100,000 troops here to show you clearly. Although I don't have the reputation of being a great khan, just with the army in my hands
, enough to accept a master like you as the master of Baitan Mountain as my younger brother!"
In a verbal exchange, Xu Wei thought he could compete with Zhuge Liang, who said, "I have never seen such a shameless person." Was all those years of typing on the keyboard in vain?
After a verbal battle, Xiaohan and Lianwai were easily suppressed by Xu Wei.
Luri deduced the formation and said: "Thunder Lord, stop talking nonsense here. The warriors on the grassland all speak for themselves with their own swords. Those who talk nonsense are just insidious villains!"
He Lian suffered double attacks and his face became even more ugly.
Xu Wei asked curiously: "Who are you?"
"I am Lüri Deyan, the leader of the western Xianbei tribe, and I am also your opponent. If you don't want Mayi to bleed into a river of blood, please give up all the cattle and sheep in your hands, and we will retreat!"
Xu Wei sneered: "There is a saying in my hometown that what you can't get on the battlefield can't be obtained at the negotiation table. If you want Mayi's cattle and sheep, it depends on whether your saber is faster or the sword in my hand.
It’s profitable!”
After saying that, he returned to the military formation. He could negotiate with the Xianbei people, but he would not accept such threats. No one hated reparations more than the people of the Celestial Dynasty.
Under Xu Wei's command, all spears were pointed at the Xianbei people, swearing Xu Wei's attitude.
If you want to fight, I will fight!
Tuoba Mo rode up to Luri's side and asked: "Are we going to openly fight Lei now?"
Luri shook his head and said: "We have just been defeated for a while, and the morale of the tribal warriors has not been restored yet. Now is not the time to start a war. You lead the people to break up the rear, and I will lead the army to retreat. We will set up camp first to restore morale, and then fight with Lei Gong.
A battle!”
Tuoba Mo nodded and led his men to monitor the movements of Xu Wei and the others.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
As the retreat horn sounded, tens of thousands of Xianbei people continued to retreat to the rear!
Xu Wei and others also noticed the movements of the Xianbei people. He also felt that it was not the time to start a war. After all, they had traveled hundreds of miles. The soldiers were very tired physically and mentally and needed a period of rest before they could exert their full combat power!
So he wisely withdrew his troops and asked Wang Yong to lead 20,000 cavalry to monitor the enemy.
And he brought 80,000 soldiers and began to build a camp. He first used personnel carriers to form a car city, and then led the soldiers to dig a trench two feet wide and one foot deep outside the car city to guard against the cavalry's resistance.
On the outermost side, there are three layers of barbed wire, with 20 steps between each layer of barbed wire. The fortifications have been built to a hundred steps away from the Checheng. Any enemy who wants to attack the camp will be hit by crossbows from here.
Inside Checheng, Xu Wei dug trenches and installed fences. Even if the Xianbei people broke through Checheng, their cavalry could not move after entering the camp.
Then the watchtowers used for surveillance were also built very high. One such high watchtower was built every 100 steps. The entire periphery of Checheng was covered with such tall watchtowers. Unless the guards on the watchtowers went on strike collectively, the Xianbei people
He will definitely be discovered if he comes to attack the camp, and he will make the entire military camp look like a hedgehog.
It took 100,000 people three days to build such a well-equipped camp.
When Lüri brought people to observe Xu Wei's camp, he discovered that Xu Wei was not building a camp. He was simply building a wooden city.
He sighed with emotion: "In all my life's fighting, I have never seen a general who is so greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Murong Peng smiled bitterly and said: "But you have to admit that this camp is like a hedgehog, making it difficult for people to attack. Unless tens of thousands of warriors die, they probably won't even be able to break through his outermost line of defense! This Thunder Lord is quite capable. No wonder he can kill a big man.
He escaped and ascended to heaven during the army's encirclement and suppression, we underestimated him too much!"
Luri Deduction said in a deep voice: "Now that the war has started, there is no possibility of taking advantage of the situation. We can only occupy Mayi by defeating Lei Gong head-on! Write a challenge to Lei Gong tomorrow!"
The next day!
The Xianbei people's letter of war came to Xu Wei's hands!
Xu Wei summoned all his generals and asked: "The Xianbei people are planning to fight us. Do you think it is better to stay in the camp or fight the Xianbei people?"
Wang Geqi asked: "Commander Qu, do you have any news about General Wang Lei? They have one person and two horses. Even if they have a thousand miles to Baitan Mountain, it is enough to run back and forth? Logically speaking, as long as they heard that Baitan Mountain was attacked
If they get the news, they will retreat immediately! How come it’s been more than ten days and there’s still no movement?”
Xu Wei could only smile bitterly and said: "There is no news about Wang Lei and the others yet, and I don't know what happened to them. After all, they went to the prairie, and anything could happen to them. There is no news about them for so long.
, we have to prepare for the worst."
There is no wireless telegraphy in this era, and Wang Lei and the others are not fighting on the inside. Now they cannot receive Wang Lei's messages at all, and all they can do is wait for the final result.
Xu Wei was a little worried now. He had high hopes for Wang Lei and the others, and wanted to use Wang Lei's actions to cut off the Xianbei people's logistics and force them to retreat.
Now Wang Lei and the others can't see anyone alive or dead. Xu Wei now only hopes that they got lost on the grassland, which is why there is no news for so long.
Everyone was a little frustrated when they heard this. Wang Lei was considered a veteran of the Tengjia Army and had a very good relationship with everyone, but now they might be about to lose such a companion.
Wang Ge said calmly: "Even if we can no longer look forward to Wang Lei's journey, I think we should continue to defend. We have Mayi as backup, and the food and grass are enough to survive the snow in winter. Although the Xianbei people also have some
Cattle and sheep are used as food and grass, but their cattle and sheep will never be eaten for a month before they are exhausted. We have an advantage over the food and grass. If the cattle and sheep are exhausted, the Xianbei people will have to retreat.
At that time, we will lead the army to the grassland and launch a counterattack. Then we will burn Baitan Mountain to the ground and let Helian know the consequences of offending our Tengjia Army!"
Xu Wei agrees with such a safe plan. This defensive counterattack plan best brings out the advantages of their numerous weapons. If the Xianbei people really get confused and want to attack his camp, Xu Wei is sure to keep half of them.
Xianbei people!
Xu Wei, who had a phobia of insufficient firepower, brought a total of 5 million long arrows. As long as 50 long arrows could kill one Xianbei, he could kill 100,000 Xianbei on the way to attack.
But Brother Wang Yong disagreed and said: "The 100,000 Xianbei people are all cavalry, and their mobility is better than ours. If they cross the camp and attack Mayi, we will not be able to catch up. Don't forget that we are surrounded by enemies.
What should we do if the Han army and the Huns see us confronting the Xianbei people and they rush towards Mayi?
Especially the Han army. Yanmen Pass is less than fifty miles away from Mayi. The Han army at Yanmen Pass can reach Mayi in just one day. What will we do then?
How can we helplessly watch our relatives, friends, flesh and blood, all killed by the Han army! So I think the longer the stalemate lasts, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us. The border troops in Youzhou, the border troops in Yanmen Pass, and even the Huns may attack
Come to us! We don’t have the capital to stand in a stalemate, we can only win quickly!”
Hearing Wang Yong's words, Xu Wei regretted giving up Yanmen Pass. Normally, he had 300,000 troops, and the 3,000 Han troops at Yanmen Pass were not in his eyes at all. But at this moment, the 3,000 Han troops at Yanmen Pass were like a group of soldiers.
He pointed the sharp sword at Xu Wei's chest, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
Xu Wei secretly made up his mind that as long as this war is over, he will conquer Yanmen Pass no matter what.
Wang Yong's words made all the generals present break into a cold sweat.
Everyone said one after another: "What Xu Shuai and Wang Yong said makes sense, we must fight quickly!"
Wang Yong continued: "My subordinates fought with the Xianbei people twice along the way. The first time both sides dispatched three thousand cavalry. Thousands of Xianbei people died, and even the cavalry commander was killed by us. And we
The casualties were no more than a hundred."
"The second time the Xianbei army of 30,000 people fought against our 20,000 cavalry troops, the Xianbei people left 5,000 corpses, while our casualties were less than 1,000!"
"It can be seen from these two wars that the Xianbei people are not as powerful as we imagined. No matter in terms of equipment, tactics, or elite soldiers, we are superior to the Xianbei people. Now our enemy is only 70,000 Xianbei people.
Man, with the strength of our Tengjia Army, we have a 70% chance of defeating the Xianbei cavalry! We have the advantage in the decisive battle, so why should we drag our feet with the Xianbei here? We should defeat them quickly!"
Xu Wei thought for a while and said firmly: "Then reply to the Xianbei people and we will fight!"
