Gaobi Ridge to the south of Queshu Valley is where the main camp of the Western Wei Dynasty's forward division is currently located. When Prime Minister Mo Chen at the northern end was summarizing the results of the battle, Gao Le was also summarizing the gains and losses with his generals.
"In today's battle, it is not enough to show weakness. Don't think that you will become arrogant when you go straight into the heart of the enemy's territory. The reason why you entered an uninhabited territory before was all because the master had tipped off the enemy's clever plan, causing the enemy's troops to be diverted elsewhere.
But now Queshu Valley is an important road that thieves must defend. Once I advance, thieves will definitely attack!"
When he heard that he had been fighting and retreating more than thirty miles to the south since the battle today, Gao Ledang frowned, but it was not because his troops were not strong enough to fight, but because they were still too eager to fight: "Sparrow
Rat Valley, a thousand miles in diameter, is the two main route for thieves to come south. But now that I don't have enough troops, I can only garrison one side, and the Jinyang disciples on the opposite side must be doing the same.
Of the two roads, the Thousand Miles Path is more dangerous and difficult to travel. If the thieves see that I am weak, they will be eager to regain Queshu Valley and will not send troops to go around the other way to attack. But if our brigade is blocked in the valley road, it will be too much.
, making it difficult to advance, the thieves still have to make other plans. At the moment, they are eager to fight, although they are brave but foolish. When our army comes to support, it will be the time to truly defeat the enemy!"
Because the forward division and brigade were traveling lightly and quickly, there was a slight disconnect between the forward division and the rear troops, which was naturally quite dangerous. Therefore, after seizing the Queshu Valley passage, Gao Le also needed to weaken the enemy's counterattack by showing off to the enemy.
Along the way in Queshu Valley.
As for the Thousand Miles Trail as a backup passage to Queshu Valley, the road condition itself is even worse. The enemy army is eager to regain Queshu Valley without sufficient troops to separate routes, so of course the main combat power must be concentrated in Queshu Valley.
Rat Valley Line.
Therefore, Gao Le wanted to create a feeling for the enemy that he was weak and could be bullied, so that they would not divide their troops and take a dangerous route to attack in a detour of thousands of miles.
"The generals and junior generals know their own interests and dangers, but it's really hard to know the scale."
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look bitter. After all, their main occupation was fighting rather than acting. In addition, they met on a narrow road in the Queshu Valley and the enemy troops were pursuing too close. They also needed to provide corresponding counterattacks and resist.
Even if the rhythm of the retreat is slightly stabilized, it is really hard to grasp how to perform more realistically.
After Gao Le heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "We will fight tomorrow. After being attacked, retreat ten miles. After bringing in the thieves, we can then defend Qimaling to fight. No evacuation is allowed before evening!"
Qiumaling is a dangerous place in Queshu Valley. Since you want to lure the enemy's main force to attack here, you must be familiar with it. When fighting in the early morning, first put in the enemy's offensive, and then hold on for most of the day in the evening.
Give them another bait to make them more confident in the next battle.
So after receiving Gao Le's order, at the beginning of the battle the next morning, the Wei army officers and soldiers at the frontline immediately withdrew from the line and fled southward along the rugged mountain road. The Qi army officers and soldiers in the north were overjoyed when they saw this.
, Dang even strode to catch up.
Nearly an hour passed between the two sides escaping and chasing. Although the mountain road was rugged and difficult, they had already arrived at Qiumaling where the Wei army's position was located. The Wei army built a relatively complete defense line here and stopped retreating after arriving here.
, guarded the camp and launched a counterattack against the enemy who was quickly approaching.
Most of the soldiers of the Qi army who were chasing at the front were not wearing armor that would affect their climbing movements. As the fighting began, because the Wei army occupied the advantage of the bows and arrows between the camps, it immediately caused a lot of damage to the Qi army.
Casualties, many soldiers were thrown directly on the spot after being counterattacked, and even the surging Fenshui River at the bottom of the valley was dyed red with blood.
Due to the limitations of his age and physical strength, Hou Mo and Chen Xiang were advancing slowly under the support of a large group of troops at the rear. When he learned that he was encountering a fierce counterattack on the road ahead, he immediately sent a group of elite soldiers to attack the enemy.
When he finally arrived at the front line of the battle, he frowned deeply when he saw the fortress set up by the enemy on Qima Ridge. This fortress was different from the ones that had been captured before.
It is completely different to be in a simple and simple place, and the choice of the location of Qiimaling is also extremely clever.
If the defenses in the north were still hastily established, then from the moment they arrived here, it was already apparent that the enemy had a very clear idea of how to defend themselves in Queshu Valley.
At this time, the fighting between the two sides has entered a fever pitch. Although the Qi army's heavily armored soldiers can attack and destroy the enemy's fortress without being disturbed, the enemy's fortress has relatively complete facilities and even has wooden shooting equipment.
Waiting for the counterattack facility, when the Qi army's heavily armored infantry finally rushed to the top of the wall, a huge log fell down in front of them, directly smashing the armor-wrapped warriors until their flesh and blood splattered!
When Prime Minister Hou Mo and Chen saw these bloody and tragic battle scenes, he could not help but frown tightly. Judging from the stubborn resistance of the enemy troops here, it seemed that his previous judgment of these enemy troops was probably miscalculated.
At present, Qiuma Ridge is only in the middle of Queshu Valley. Even if the fortress is captured at all costs, the enemy will still have many such strongholds set up for dozens of miles south, especially
The distance from Fenshui Pass to Gaobi is more difficult. If you want to follow this route to get through Queshu Valley in a short time, it will probably be much more difficult than previously estimated!
With this in mind, Prime Minister Hou Mo and Chen ordered his troops to continue to launch a fierce attack on the fortress in front. At the same time, he summoned his confidants and ordered the five hundred elite soldiers to withdraw from Queshu Valley, join the troops stationed on Qianli Path, and march along the Qianli Path.
Go south, detour to Yong'an City and then counterattack Fenshui Pass, hoping to create a dilemma for the enemy with enemies from both sides.
Prime Minister Hou Mo and Chen's sense of crisis and insight into the battlefield were much sharper than Gao Le imagined. He did not expect that the temporary arrangement would make him alert and make some tactical adjustments.
At this time, Gao Le was still busy constructing a new defense line in the south of Queshu Valley to meet the soldiers who had withdrawn from the Qimaling front line in the evening. He had no idea that the enemy troops had already come southward from the Qianlijing Mountain Road on the other side.
.
But many times, there is a very obvious gap between taking the initiative in war and being passive, and a very important element in this is the timing.
After Prime Minister Hou Mo and Chen learned the information from Jinyang, he decided to lead his army southward after discussion. After a day of fierce fighting, he entered Queshu Valley. He also made tactical adjustments by observing the enemy on the battlefield. A series of
The change process can be described as timely, but that is only from his perspective.
For the party that has taken the initiative, there is no need to deliberately compete for many opportunities. It only needs to proceed step by step, and it will naturally be one step ahead.
In the afternoon and towards dusk, a cavalry team of about 5,000 people arrived at the Jiqi Plain in the south of Queshu Valley, which was the plain northeast of Yong'an City that Gao Le and his party had captured before when they marched north.
The leader of this team was He Ruodun. When he arrived at Jiqiyuan, he met the soldiers sent by Gao Le to stay here nearby. When he found out that Gao Le and his troops had already stationed and penetrated deep into Queshu Valley, He Ruoden couldn't bear it.
Zhu frowned and said: "Your Majesty asked me to go north to Yong'an City to join the vanguard, and then separate ways. I don't want these long-legged donkeys to move so quickly!"
Only three thousand forward light cavalry were naturally not enough to hold every road from Jinyang south, and there were many enemy garrison strongholds from Pingyang to the north. When Li Tai formulated the battle plan, he did not ensure that Gao Le and his party could
The journey to Queshu Valley was smooth, so a team of troops were arranged on the back road to help complete the task of blocking the enemy.
Although He Ruoden was not the first general to march north, after Li Tai led the main force across the river and entered Hedong, he sent his men to the war zone first. After gathering with Wei Xiaokuan and other people in the south of Pingyang to understand the situation, he led five thousand elite cavalry.
Continue heading north and arrive at Jiqiyuan smoothly.
The expected scene of appearing as a hero and rescuing Ze Ze who was in a miserable battle did not appear. Instead, He Ruoden confirmed the fact that he had been chasing after him all the way. Naturally, he felt quite unwilling.
So he was too lazy to go to Fenshui Pass to meet up with Gao Le. Seeing that there was still some time before dark, he ordered his troops to camp in Jiqiyuan for the time being, while he led dozens of disciples to enter through the mountain pass to the east.
Thousand Miles Trail, prepare for a short exploration to prepare for the next step into Thousand Miles Trail.
Although Thousand Miles Path does not have the turbulent Fenshui currents, the mountain road is more winding and winding than Queshu Valley. Therefore, after wandering for a certain distance into the mountain, He Ruodun and his party found themselves lost as expected.
He was not like Gao Le who had frequented this area, and he did not deliberately lead the locals as guides. He wandered around the valley for a while. As the sky became darker, he honestly accepted this fact and found a man.
The mountain col that is in the lee of the wind gets up and waits for dawn tomorrow before continuing to look for a way out, or waiting for people from outside the mountain to come looking for it.
He Ruodun's son, He Ruobi, was previously rejected from the National Guards because he was too young. Two years later, he was caught in the war before he could stand for election, so he repeatedly begged his father to take him to join the army.
He Ruobi's heroic military career had not yet begun, but he had such a terrible experience first. He Ruobi was also deeply shocked. However, seeing that his father also looked gloomy and unhappy, he still comforted him in a low voice: "The mountain road is winding.
"It's inevitable to get lost. Even though Li Guang is young, he is not a brave man. Aye, please look away..."
"Shut up!"
It was difficult for He Ruoden to understand his son's admiration. Before He Ruobi could finish his words, he glared and scolded him, then pulled the felt blanket around his body, lay down in the hay and fell asleep.
Sleeping in the mountains this night was not a good experience. He Ruobi woke up and down that night, and did not fall asleep until almost dawn. However, he felt that he had not slept for long when he was woken up by two snapping sounds, and his eyesight
I was still a little confused, and my cheeks were already burning and hurting.
He Ruoden slapped his son awake with two slaps, and immediately covered the kid's mouth and tucked him under his arm, whispering: "There are enemies approaching, prepare to fight!"
