In the battle of Leling, Shen Yi took a big advantage.
Although the Leling garrison suffered heavy losses, the Northern Qi army, especially the vanguard sent by the Northern Qi Dynasty to explore the road, was almost crippled by Shen Yi from both sides.
In this battle, Mr. Shen's biggest gain was not how powerful he achieved, but that he had a vague idea of the combat effectiveness of these Qi troops.
Because until now, even Ling Su and Su Ding have been fighting with the Qi people for several months, and they are all fierce battles.
but…
So far, the main body fighting the Huai'an Army is still the Southern Conquest Army under Zhou Shizhong. The Southern Conquest Army is already an old opponent of the Huai'an Army, and both sides can be said to know the ins and outs.
However, the Huai'an army has never been able to engage in a large-scale battle with the Northern Qi's border troops.
This is also the reason why Shen Yi has adopted a conservative strategy so far.
According to the subsequent intelligence provided by the internal guards, during the battle of Leling, there were basically not many Qi troops who attacked Leling.
They should all be border troops, or other armies of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
In the study, Shen looked at the three generals in front of him. After thinking for a while, he looked at Zhou Huai, who was closest to him, and said: "Qi people have suffered heavy losses in the past two days and retreated very quickly. Although It's not certain where this Qi army came from, but its combat effectiveness..."
He touched his chin and said, "It seems unremarkable."
"Zhou Huai, you lead two Qianhu camps and explore north. If you encounter a large group of Qi troops, you will quickly withdraw. If it is a small group of Qi troops or other situations, you will make a decisive decision when the opportunity arises."
Zhou Huai lowered his head respectfully and said, "I obey my orders."
Shen Yi looked at the other two generals. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Two generals, take people out and observe the terrain near Leling to see if we can use the terrain to build defenses."
"The prisoners captured two days ago."
Shen Yi paused and said in a deep voice: "Strike hard, pry open their mouths, and ask for all the information that can be asked."
All three people stood up and clasped their fists.
"I will obey my orders!"
…………
Directly north of Leling, in the territory of Cangzhou in the Northern Qi Dynasty, there is a county called Yanshan County.
At this time, the troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty that had returned to the north from Leling were temporarily resting near Yanshan County.
In the Chinese army's tent, the leader of the army, General Fu Quanfu, looked at the information handed over by his subordinates, his face turned extremely ugly.
"They are all cavalry, all cavalry!"
"Leling didn't even let them fight, he just let them raid the formation! How could they be surrounded by infantry? So many of them were captured alive!"
The person who came to report was a Han man from Qianhu. He lowered his head cautiously and said: "Sir, the people below reported that the cavalrymen immediately panicked when they saw that there were Nanchen troops on both sides. , some can’t even ride a horse properly..."
"Most of those who were left behind did not have time to mount their horses, or they mounted their horses too slowly."
"There are also some people who, after getting on their horses, were completely panicked when they were shot by arrows. They couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. In their panic, they even plunged into the encirclement of the southerners."
Fuquan suppressed his anger.
After taking several deep breaths, he finally calmed down and said expressionlessly: "Is there a specific number?"
The subordinate lowered his head, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Almost more than 1,600 people are dead. How many of them were killed and how many were captured..."
"There is currently no way to count."
Fuquan clenched his fists tightly, unable to restrain his anger any longer, and said angrily: "These wine bags and rice bags!"
He was a general of the frontier army, but this time, he was ordered to make a surprise attack on Leling, and only a small part of the people he brought with him were soldiers of the frontier army.
Some of them are local troops.
And more importantly, the Zhu Lizhen cavalry from Yandu.
Nearly five thousand Zhu Lizhen cavalry were placed under his command and came to the Leling battlefield to "train" and increase their combat experience.
The predecessors of these Zhu Lizhen Cavalry were during the time of the late Emperor, who asked His Highness to recruit Zhu Lizhen's young and strong men to form the Zhu Lizhen Cavalry, with the intention of restoring the Northern Qi cavalry seventy years ago.
After the death of the late emperor, the situation in the court was in turmoil, so this cavalry was temporarily put on hold and failed to achieve success.
After Emperor Zhaowu stabilized the political situation, he picked up the Zhu Lizhen cavalry again and resumed training.
Now, this cavalry, which has almost fifteen thousand men, has been put on the battlefield, and those brought by Fuquan are the first batch.
These "pure-blooded" Zhu Lizhen cavalry clearly had no problems with riding and shooting during training. It even made people feel that the brave Zhu Lizhen cavalry from seventy years ago was about to return!
However, in just two days, these Zhu Lizhen "cavalry" who were only skirmishing on the side and did not directly participate in the siege were killed by 30% by the Huai'an army in a single battle!
General Fu was very angry. After a while, he finally suppressed his anger and sat down in his seat with a sullen face: "Don't tell anyone about the statistics. Report them to the court and report them to the court."
All matters reported by General Nuo will be reported by me personally."
"Go on, no one below is allowed to say anything more."
Thousands of Han people bowed their heads respectfully: "I will obey your orders."
Fuquan waved his hand: "Go ahead."
When Qianhu clasped his fists and left the Chinese army's battle, Fuquan sat in his seat and picked up the brush, his hands trembling slightly.
He finally put pen to paper.
"The cavalry attacked and killed countless Nanchen troops, forcing them to retreat to Leling in embarrassment."
In just a few words, most of the results of this Leling battle were attributed to Zhu Lizhen's cavalry.
This was something he was extremely reluctant to do, but had to do.
Not only because, among these "Zhu Lizhen Cavalry" from Yandu, there are many children of some big families, but they also represent Zhu Lizhen's face.
Represents the interests of all Zhuli people!
After all, Na Xigang had just sued all the Han people in Yandu. At this time, Zhu Li's face and His Majesty's face could not be lost.
After writing the letter, Fuquan sat in his chair, feeling a little weak.
He walked out of the tent and looked up at the moon in the sky, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.
"The glory of Master Zhu Li..."
He closed his eyes, feeling very confused.
"Can it happen again?"
…………
Shanxi, Zezhou.
General Xue's camp welcomed a new guest today.
The guest was taken all the way to General Xue's Chinese army tent. After seeing Xue Wei, the young man stepped forward with a smile, raised his hands and saluted: "Shen Xu pays homage to General Xue."
Xue Wei was looking through a document at the moment. Because he was a beginner in reading, he read documents much slower than ordinary people. After hearing the word Shen Xu, he suddenly came back to his senses. , threw away the paperwork in his hand and stood up.
After seeing Shen Xu in front of him, Xue Wei was very happy and stepped forward: "Yes... Mr. Shen is here."
Shen Xu bowed slightly and said with a smile: "I don't dare to call you sir, the general just calls me by my name."
"That won't work."
Xue Wei shook his head and said: "You are the younger brother of the Marquis, and you are Xue's distinguished guest."
"The Marquis has already said in the letter that you will come and help me conquer Shanxi together."
He bowed his hands to Shen Xu in a decent manner and said, "Now that Zezhou has fallen, how can you teach me, sir?"
Shen Xu quickly returned the gift and said seriously: "General, I grew up in Taiyuan. Following my family's business, I traveled to almost all the prefectures and counties in Shanxi."
"On the way here, I have been thinking about where Shanxi should start."
As he spoke, he looked at Xue Wei and said quietly: "After thinking about it for so many days, I finally have some clues and some rough opinions."
Xue Wei was overjoyed: "Sir, please tell me!"
Shen Laoba chuckled and said: "Go straight to Taiyuan."
Xue Wei was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened.
"Go straight to Taiyuan?!"
