Chapter 737: Zhu Biao throws empty, Hu Qi's ambition
Zhu Biao is very bored now!
After a leap of seven hundred miles, the 30,000 Hedong Army arrived at Izumokou. This was a distance comparable to the width of Inner Mongolia in his previous life. In the history of ancient Chinese wars, it was completely deep into the grasslands, but he had never experienced a battle, even a small one.
A small fight.
Only She Diaoer, who has been wandering around the frontier for many years, has come into contact with the first choice Di Feng. The traces and traces of Hu Qi found along the way are all small campsites with more than ten or twenty people. It is obvious that the previous ones
One year Hu Qi did not station troops outside the Great Wall in Hedong.
In this way, Zhu Biao found the first large-scale camp until the northern end of Izumokou, but the number of Huqi stationed here was only two to three thousand at most.
Gao Xie's camp was left at the north entrance, and Zhu Biao led the remaining infantry and cavalry to continue heading north. Thirty miles away, traces of the abandonment of the First World War were still there, and a hundred miles away, traces of Uwetuo's large camp where tens of thousands of troops were stationed at that time were still there.
There are still some, but not even a single Hu Qi can be seen.
He did not let Di Feng explore further north. With the fifty-mile coverage guaranteed, the outstanding Di Feng in the Han army swarmed toward the northeast.
Hu Qi could extend the distance to the north to an unlimited extent, but Zhu Biao did not believe that they could extend the distance to the northeast to an unlimited extent. That was the main battlefield of the Hu and Di tribes.
Sure enough, in just one day, Difeng received a detection report. Hu Qi's eagles were found seventy miles northeast. Looking further in, they found two Hu Qi camps, with a strength of about 5,000 people. Regarding the current wish,
For the Biao army, this is not a threat. However, will there be a larger and more Huqi army behind these two Huqi camps?
Zhu Biao was not sure and did not dare to take risks. He could only ask Di Feng to capture the eagle alive as much as possible.
However, military aircraft are unpredictable. Before Zhu Biao could take out the words from She Diao'er's mouth, the urgent military information coming from the rear made his heart twitch - the Hu Cavalry army broke into Hexi!
"Are they all idiots?" In just three days, we lost 500 miles of land and seven cities. Except for the county town, which was still in our hands, Hexi County was completely in ruins, and many places where military supplies and supplies were stored for the army heading north fell into the hands of the enemy.
"Hexi Army Commander Shi should be beheaded! Hexi Prefect should be beheaded!" After Zhu Zhong was horrified, he slapped several cases to pieces.
Shameful, so shameful! Unbelievable, too unbelievable!
The 50,000-strong army was holding up outside the fortress, but the 50,000 barbarian cavalry were stunned to sneak into their home. That was a full 50,000 barbarian cavalry, not 500 cavalry, including the horses, which was less than 200,000.
How is this possible?
The response and response of Hexi Army Commander Shi and Hexi Prefect were also terrible. Not to mention that the leader of the army, Bo, died in Weixiang County on the first day of the battle.
The map of Hezhou was spread out on the table. Zhu Biao waved his hand and used red mud to draw two lines of Luozhou on the map. The march route of the Han army in Hexi, although he did not know the detailed arrangements of the two troops.
But the Di Bao that kept coming from the rear helped him. Relying on the news revealed in the Di Bao and Zhu Ming, Yu Shaoan sent information from Beiping City and roughly guessed the marching route of the two armies.
A line of black ink passes between the two red streams!
"Only in this way, only in this way can Hu Qi penetrate to the north bank of the Luo River without anyone noticing. Could it be that someone leaked the military plane?" Even Zhu Biao himself only guessed the route of the two armies after reading the subsequent Di Di newspapers.
I didn’t know that before. How could Hu Qi capture him so perfectly?
This mere guess made the angry atmosphere in the tent suddenly drop. Zhu Biao's guess had no basis in fact and was just a 'delusion'. But after hearing this, the generals who trusted and relied on him in the tent felt really sad in their hearts.
Such a suspicion arose. Who dares to say that it was really not a military plane that was leaked? How did Hu Qi fly hundreds of miles from the two armies and drink the Maluo River in one fell swoop?
The messy thoughts filled everyone with gloom for a moment.
"Commander, the most important thing now is our Hedong. Hedong only has 20,000 troops. If the Hu cavalry invades Hedong after wreaking havoc across Hexi, then... it will be very bad."
Zhu Zhong believed in the combat power of the Hedong Army, but the remaining Hedong Army had many infantry and few cavalry, which was completely inferior to a man with two horses or three horses. If they could not leave the city and fight in the field, they would be dragged away by the horsemen. The result would be disastrous.
Something really big will happen.
Zhu Biao had also thought of this. Compared with Hexi, Luozhou, and Yandong and Yanxi, the biggest problem of the Hedong Army was that they were in trouble with the imperial court. Although there are no specific regulations now, it is obvious that the imperial court
Spending money and effort to enhance the strength of the Hedong Army is nonsense.
The more realistic situation is that the two sides have a tacit understanding that the Hedong army will not leave Hedong. The recovery of strength and the allocation of military supplies completely depend on the output of Hedong land. In other words, they are now considered an administrative unit without authority.
As a small warlord with great power, the whole army lived in Hedong. They ate, drank, had sex, and subsidized the military. Everything depended on the support of Hedong. It was because of this that Zhu Biao made that provision on the first day when his troops entered Hedong.
, the increase in troops only recruits refugees and refugees, not households in Hedong. Isn't this just to avoid delaying the production of money and food in Hedong.
If Hu Qi went to Hedong after making trouble in Hexi, then Zhu Biao would not talk about continuing to expand the army and build armored cavalry. Only the appeasement of Hedong and the military attrition of Hedong Army in the coming year would make him have to deal with it.
The court bowed its head, or even lowered its figure to the king of Tang.
Zhu Biaowan didn’t want to be like this.
"Commander, there is a critical situation in the east of the river, and our army cannot ignore it. According to my wishes, we can ride back with horses, and at least... also send back two cavalry battalion heads." Chen Mengren's qualifications are much older than those of Zhou Zi'ang and Xia Yunzhuo.
He also has a very close relationship with Zhu Biao. If he does not care about the overall situation and does not obey orders, he can safely say: "The imperial court can still pull the eggs of birds. If you want to do so, chop off the heads of the Hexi Army first."
"
Zhu Biao remained silent, tapping his fingers on the table, "Ta-ta, tap-ta..."
Uwetuo no longer works in Hexi County. His troops are all cavalry, so it is the next best thing to attack the city of Hexi County. The two groups of Hu cavalry who met in the south of Hexi County were led by him to fight southward into Tongning.
"The reinforcements from the Han people came so quickly." But the news from Peking came even faster.
People who have not experienced this kind of "knowing everything" really can't appreciate the fun of such a battle. Uwetuo had no pressure on the two armies coming to attack Beiping and Pingzhou.
"Beat the drum! Gather the generals!"
Two Han armies, one with 50,000 troops and the other with 30,000 troops, and a plate of feast were placed in front of them again, and Uwetuo wanted to open his bloody mouth.
"Your Majesty, are you thinking of Mingluo River? Even if our army eats two Han armies, the Northern Han army returning to Hexi and Luozhou will completely block the way?" Hu Jietan exclaimed.
Although the purpose of sending 50,000 Hu cavalry southward was to bring back the main force of the Han army heading north, his own life must also be kept safe. If the route back to the grassland was blocked by more than 100,000 or 200,000 Han troops, he would have to wait for the army.
Even if the hinterland of the Northern Han Dynasty was completely turned upside down, he would still be... unwilling to do so.
The war situation on the prairie has turned towards the Central Plains people, but Dahu is not ready to fight to the death and die together, right?
"Hmph. As long as we capture these two groups of Han troops, Luo Mingjiang will open the door to us. Taking advantage of the lack of troops in the Northern Han Dynasty, we can even attack the gates of Beiping City. Where is the retreat then?" Uweituo said to Hujie.
Tan's worries were dismissed with disdain.
When necessary, we only need to capture tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Han people, put swords and arrows on the necks of every Han people, and let the Han army, which can be forced, give itself a way to survive.
"Wu Qi, you lead the five thousand golden wolf cavalry to break up the rear and watch the movements of the Han army in Hexi." Without any hesitation, Wu Weituo kept his legitimate son and gave him an important task. Who called the twenty thousand golden wolf cavalry outside?
He was a little worried about the 30,000 cavalry, and their combat power was not enough to sustain this arduous task. "The remaining generals returned to their camps, quickly ordered their troops and horses, and followed me into Huating." Although this strategy was too risky, it was very practical.
If he could go to Beiping City and burn, kill and loot, the entire Northern Han Dynasty would be in panic. And the most important thing is that when Uwetuo encountered the two groups of 80,000 Han troops, he could win the battle in a horizontal battle.
"Your Majesty," shouted Hululuomen. He was also a veteran general. When fighting, he not only considered the attack, but also considered all aspects. "What if the Han army in Hexi pursues an immediate pursuit? Is Prince Wuqi's military strength too weak?"
Already? Why not allocate another five thousand cavalry..."
"Haha, since our army broke into Hexi this time, the commander of the Hexi army has been mediocre and incompetent, and the governor of Hezhou has been as timid as a chicken. The two of them only dared to stick to the strong city and even abandoned some county towns. This shows their courage. These days
The surrounding areas are full of our army's scouts and cavalry. The Han people have no way of detecting them and know nothing about our army's intelligence. How can they dare to send troops rashly?
You know, with the current strength of the Han army in Hexi, if they are trapped by our army, they will be able to skin them even if they are not strangled to death. Without definite information, they will not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field."
In the army, Uweituo always said that one is one and two is two. Once he made up his mind, all the generals had to do was obey orders. Hululuomen and Hujietan looked at each other and both swallowed their saliva.
, hugged each other with both fists, turned around and left. Fight as hard as you can, anyway, King Youxian is in charge, and if you don’t fight, the situation will become more and more difficult, and you may not be able to see him again in the future.
He coveted the opportunity of being the capital of the Han people.
If you can really show off your power under the walls of Peking City, this life will be enough!
"Father!" Seeing that Hu Jietan, Hulu Luomen and other generals had already withdrawn, Wu Qi reported to Wu Wei Tuo with some nonchalance, "My child has an idea..." There was a whisper in Wu Wei Tuo's ear.
.
"What do you think, Father?"
"Okay, you have the courage. You are worthy of being my son, Uwetuo, the warrior of the Immortal Heaven." Uwetuo slapped the table and shouted, "Okay," and cast his admiring eyes at his son without reservation, "Just be bold.
Just do it, even if you fail, it doesn't matter." If you have such courage, it is worth cultivating. Five thousand soldiers and horses are nothing, and they are nothing compared to your son's future.
"Thank you, Father." After receiving the heartfelt praise from his father, Wu Qi felt that his spirit was suddenly lifted, and his chest could not help but become higher. "My child, go down and prepare now."
