Chapter 303: The Great Army Overwhelms the Village
Chapter 303: The army suppresses the stronghold
Just when Zuo Aoran rushed to the camp gate that had no door, he happened to see Liu Hu's slowly falling figure. Zuo Aoran thought that Liu Hu had died of exhaustion, and a surge of grief and anger surged from the bottom of his heart.
Zuo Aoran waved his big gun and roared: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Leave no one behind!" The soldiers behind him roared in agreement, urging their horses to rush towards the defeated Wuhuan soldiers.
The four words "Don't chase the poor criminals" given to Zuo Aoran by his teacher Li Yan have already been forgotten by Zuo Aoran under such circumstances. Now Zuo Aoran just wants to avenge Liu Hu and kill everyone in front of him.
The Wuhuan soldiers are miscellaneous!
Liu Hu left the camp privately and Zuo Aoran didn't know about it, but later Tan Ma came to report that the Wuhuan army camp was in chaos. Zuo Aoran was afraid that it was a trick of the Wuhuan people, so he did not send troops. He just asked Tan Ma to investigate again and report again.
Later, Jiang Yiqu, who liked to go around looking for people to talk nonsense, came to report that Liu Hu was no longer in his camp. The soldiers said that he had not come back since he left. By this time, Liu Hu had already killed the grain camp and set fire to the grain camp.
After Zuo Aoran heard this, he immediately thought that Liu Hu must be eager for meritorious deeds and rode alone to steal the camp and rob the village. At this moment, Tan Ma came to report that there was a fire in the Wuhuan Army's camp. Now Zuo Aoran
Ran was even more certain that it was Liu Hu who sent troops without permission. Zuo Aoran did not even hesitate and directly ordered all the cavalry to attack the Wuhuan camp.
Only then did thousands of people ride horses to Wuhuan Village. The brotherhood was as high as the sky, and Liu Hu was lucky enough to survive!
In the battle outside the Lulong Wall, more than 22,000 enemies were beheaded. Liu Hu beheaded Wuyan, and the Wuhuan army's grain and grass camp was set on fire. Only Wang Tong escaped with more than 6,000 men, and Gu Jin fled with more than a hundred cavalry.
There were more than a thousand casualties, and Liu Hu was slightly injured and fell into coma. All the above were written as good news and sent to Luoyang, the capital, and presented to the Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
Five days later, Qiu Liju learned that Wu Yan was dead, so he joined Wang Tong, Gujin, and the troops were united. They led a 150,000-strong army, including 100,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry. Yu Wenkang from Xianbei
As a military advisor, with Zi Tadun as the vanguard, he led his army directly to Lulongsai and camped fifty miles away.
Zuo Aoran hurriedly contacted the generals and borrowed Gongsun Zan's official residence as a temporary military tent to discuss with the generals in the mansion.
Zuo Aoran looked at it and saw that everyone was here, so he said: "I am living in Qiu, leading 100,000 Wuhuan elite cavalry and 50,000 Wuhuan elite infantry. We are camping outside the city at noon. At noon, we only have more than 20,000."
, there are less than 30,000 elite cavalry, and less than 100,000 infantry, what are your strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"According to my nature, I will lead five thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry to kill the generals. I will take Qiu Liju's head and offer it to Ninth Brother. If not, I will issue a military order." Zhang Xu said from the side. Zhang Xu was influenced by Liu.
This is what happens when the tiger stimulates you.
Zuo Aoran waved his hand and said: "Tenth brother, please don't mess around. This is treating the lives of the soldiers in the trash. If the army is defeated, it is really unkind. You must not act like a temporary hero."
"Our army can send a general to pass through the steep mountain road of Zhongwu and go around to Xuheng Mountain. In the evening, taking advantage of the north wind, we can attack Qiu Liju's cavalry with fire. At the same time, we can attack Qiu Liju's former military camp head-on and order them to
It's difficult to save each other from head to tail, so break them one by one." Zuo Chun offered his advice.
"Although the strategy mentioned by my dear brother is strict, our army will still suffer more than half of the casualties before we can win." Zuo Aoran paused and said: "Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, powerful forces are separatist in various places, and rebel armies are everywhere.
Only the army and territory can occupy a place. If our army suffers too many casualties in this battle, even if it is a victory, it will be detrimental to our army and the Han Dynasty, and it will not be able to make the Wuhuan tribes surrender, but will become a disaster in the future."
At this time, Gongsun Zan suddenly stood up and said: "Is it possible that my brother's intention is to seek peace? The people of Wuhuan are stubborn. Even if they surrender, there is no guarantee that they will not rebel in the future." Gongsun Zan hated these things extremely.
Gongsun Zan's only idea was to eliminate foreigners as much as possible. Otherwise, he would not have spent thousands of white horse followers and wiped out a large number of Wuhuan cavalry in western Liaoning and Youbei.
He would not be given a relatively good title among the many feudal lords of one side; "National Hero!" This title was only obtained because of his resistance to foreign invasion.
"What senior brother said is reasonable, but if I introduce them to the Central Plains and let them intermarry with us Han people, they will have to be sinicized over time. At that time, will they still rebel?" Zuo Aoran looked at his own with a somewhat joking tone.
Senior brother Gongsun Zan said.
Everyone nodded in sincerity, and then Zuo Aoran spread out the silk map and said: "Zuo Chun, the two wise brothers from Zhang Tai led 10,000 troops as the first vanguard to attack Qiu Liju's forward camp, and waited for Qiu Liju to counterattack.
When the time comes, you will retreat and no longer want to fight."
"Yes!" Zhang Chun responded.
"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the second and third vanguards. They each lead their own troops and attack in sequence. They are not allowed to fight. The purpose is to drag down the spirit of Qiu Liju's soldiers, destroy their spiritual pillars, consume their physical energy, and make them unwilling to fight.
My heart is distracted." Zuo Aoran said.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou responded: "Yes!"
Zuo Aoran pointed to Xuheng Mountain on the map and said: "Xu Chu led his troops and horses as the front team, took farm tools and iron catalpas, and went to the mountains to dig trenches according to this picture. Senior brother led his troops to the mountains to cover Zhong Kang's troops and also lure them
Qiu Liju's vanguard troops entered the battle, and I went with my two brothers. Tian Feng stayed at the main camp, and Jiang Yiqu led his own troops and 5,000 soldiers to assist Zuo Chun, Zhang Tai, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou. Dian Jie led 5,000 troops and horses.
Help defend the city. After everyone understood it, they went back to camp to rest. Three days later, there was a fire on the second watch and a sneak attack on the third watch."
Zuo Aoran, Chen Deng, and Gongsun Zan ceased their activities and led the soldiers to bypass the dangerous road and rushed to Xuheng Mountain in one day. Zuo Aoran ordered the soldiers to transplant the trees according to the nine-turn formation, and Gongsun Zan covered the whole army.
military.
Nine-bend formation is also known as "Nine-bend array" or "Nine-bend confusion array" among the people. The entire array is square, with 19 horizontal rows and 19 vertical rows. There are 361 coordinate points in the array, east, west, south and north.
, divided into nine curve formations.
Each song has a song head. It is said that a song head is a dead end. That is, as long as you follow a specific route to enter the formation gate, you can go out smoothly, otherwise you will go astray. The east-west song in the formation is called "Pingqu", and the north-south song is called "Pingqu".
The moving song is called "Liqu".
Some formations go straight to the middle palace and then go around the middle palace. Some formations go straight to the middle palace and then go all the way around. Some formations have more flat curves than straight curves, and some formations have more vertical curves than flat curves. Curved formations
The balance and uprightness, more and less, and the direction of the order depend on the careful manipulation and change of the people who set up the formation.
However, the positions of the nine stars in the Jiuqu are fixed. The nine stars are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, lunar, sun, Luohou, Jidu, etc., one by one according to the east, west, south, north, center, etc.
Location layout.
The position of "Gold" is due east, the position of "Wood" is due west, the position of "Fire" is due south, the position of "Water" is due north, the position of "Tai Yin" is in the northwest corner, and the position of "Sun"
In the northeast corner, the position of "Luohou" is in the southeast corner, the position of "Jidu" is in the east and west corners, and the position of "Tu" is in the center. The entire lineup is dotted with stars, and the barriers are tight, and it has the potential to be sacred and inviolable.
It took two full days before the formation was completed. Zuo Aoran told Gongsun Zan and Chen Deng the secrets of the formation. After hearing this, the two were filled with admiration.
Zuo Aoran looked at the map over and over again in the camp. He understood the significance of this battle because he could not afford to lose. He won this battle. From then on, the aliens in Hebei and Liaoning were at peace and had a steady stream of good horses.
and elite cavalry, and transport them to themselves. If they lose, the entire Youzhou and Jizhou will fall into war.
Looking at the bright moonlight outside the tent, Zuo Aoran felt tired and tired for the first time in this space. He thought of Jin Lian and the child in Jin Lian's belly. Whether it was a boy or a girl, Zuo Aoran would always be happy.
Because Zuo Aoran is a modern person, boys and girls are the same! Thinking of this, Zuo Aoran smiled from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Chen Deng came to Zuo Aoran and whispered, "Lord, the second watch has arrived. Is there a fire?"
"Pass my order, each camp will set fire to cook, and send out troops at three o'clock." Zuo Aoran said.
Each battalion carefully ate war food and everything was ready. Zuo Aoran personally inspected each battalion to ensure that everything was correct and that there were no accidents. The northwest wind ushered in the breath of victory. Zuo Aoran
I firmly believe it in my heart.
At the third watch, Zuo Aoran issued an order, ordering Gongsun Zan to lead his 3,000 white horse followers and 5,000 soldiers under his own command to sneak attack Qiu Liju's camp.
In a chain formation, the soldiers ambushing on both wings were commanded by Chen Deng, and shot them with arrows at the same time to weaken their spirit.
The war went on as scheduled without any mistakes. Qiu Liju entered the formation and found that there was something strange about the place. He wanted to retreat further and further without an end. From time to time, there was a hail of arrows. The soldiers around him fell down in response, and the horses were in chaos.
He ran around and finally disappeared.
Horses came out of Zuo Aoran's Shengmen from time to time, and the soldiers captured them all. (It turns out that the Nine-Turn Chain Formation can control people, but it cannot control animals. As long as it escapes the control of humans, it can walk out of the formation on its own.
This was also the strategic thinking of the person who invented this formation. After all, horses were an important military object in the cold weapon era and had an insurmountable position.) By this time, Qiu Liju's cavalry had already been killed or injured.
After a third of the battle, the morale of the soldiers was low and they had no fighting spirit.
Seeing that the time was right, Zuo Aoran ordered Chen Deng to stop firing arrows, and Gongsun Zan's white-horse righteous men would clear the way and enter through the Shengmen. The soldiers shouted in unison: "Our general, General Zuo Aoran, will clear up the chaos in Pingbei.
I hope that Wuhuan King Qiu Liju will surrender to the Han and put the lives of his soldiers first!" After hearing this, Qiu Liju's soldiers looked at each other and towards Qiu Liju.
Qiu Liju pondered for a while and looked at the military advisor Yu Wenkang who was wounded by an arrow beside him. Yu Wenkang nodded silently and said nothing. So Qiu Liju shouted to the soldiers: "Surrender is okay.
But Grand Marshal Zuo Aoran must come in person and convince our king."
After hearing this, Zuo Aoran happily came to the center and saw Qiu Liju. Zuo Aoran asked Gongsun Zan to step forward and get out of the way. He went to the formation of the two armies alone. When he came to Qiu Liju, Zuo Aoran pulled him
Lai Qilin, who has an ink-carved rib on his hip, raised his hands to Qiu Liju and said: "I am Zuo Aoran, the general commander of Pingbei's anti-rebellion, and I came here to put down the rebellion under the orders of the imperial court. There are three reasons for recruiting you, one of which is,
You are the King of Wuhuan, and you belong to the Han people like me. It was only because you were bewitched by Zhang Ju that you did such a rebellious thing. This was not your intention. The emperor of the Han Dynasty is magnanimous. I hope you will find your way back as soon as possible and serve the country.
The second is that all the officers and soldiers are Han people. They resisted the invasion of foreigners, sacrificed their lives for justice, and wrapped their bodies in horse leather. They are heroes. Now they are all Han people and kill each other. This is unjust and the lives of innocent people are ruined. The third is, this
The formation is an ancient and strange formation, no one can break it. If we are powerful, I admit that we are no match for the Wuhuan cavalry, but if we want to outwit you, you are no match for me, and the lives of the generals will be sacrificed in vain. This is actually
I don’t know! I don’t know if these three points can convince King Qiu Liju.”
