It is advisable to chase the poor bandits with courage. There is a principle in chasing the poor bandits.
Don't chase the enemy when you are poor. There is also a reason why you should not pursue the enemy when you are poor.
The beauty of application lies in one intention.
Yang Hao now has a reason to pursue him. If Li Guangrui escapes to Suizhou, even if he cannot inflict serious damage on Li Guangrui this time, it will form a pattern that is extremely unfavorable to Li Guangrui. This will doom his downfall. However, if he is allowed to
If the soldiers are successfully transferred to Youzhou, west of the Great Wall, and returned to their base, the results will be difficult to predict.
The significance of the Dunkirk evacuation was not to allow the 300,000 defeated troops to escape, but to give the 300,000 troops who took a long time to train well the opportunity to take up arms again and restart a war. Li Guangrui
If he successfully evacuated to Youzhou, what he was fighting for was the geographical advantage, the people, and the right political situation. He would have the opportunity to break the unfavorable situation of the San Francisco siege and regain control of the northwest. How could Yang Hao not pursue it?
However, although this move is of far-reaching significance, it is also more risky. Risks and benefits are always proportional. How can you get something for nothing? The defeat of the army is the most likely factor to cause the command failure of the three armies and the lowest morale. A huge army in
When retreating, especially in that era, even a wise general would be unable to turn the tide and effectively command the three armies. Therefore, as long as Yang Hao can catch up with Li Guangrui's main force, Li Guangrui's strategic adventure will begin from now on.
The previous terminal symbol.
Yang Hao marched quickly and rushed to the Wuding River. He used the broken siege equipment to rebuild three pontoon bridges and drove his army across the river. Unexpectedly, his army had just crossed the Wudu River and Li Yide, who was behind the formation, had not caught up yet.
, a huge wave surged from the upper reaches of the Wuding River, carrying giant trees and smashing the three simple pontoons into pieces. The raging river water overflowed both sides of the river and roared downstream. More than a dozen people had just stepped onto the shore.
, the soldiers who had no time to advance were swept away by the flood that rushed over in an instant.
"No! I fell into a trap!"
Seeing such a situation, Yang Hao immediately changed his color. The three armies stood quietly by the river, looking at the water level that fell back in an instant. Everyone was stunned and silent. Li Yide rushed to the shore in panic and looked at the other bank.
He immediately shouted angrily: "Quick, collect all the available wood, build a pontoon bridge quickly, and bring the commander back."
Yang Hao stood on his horse, facing the wind, and listened to the thunderous sound of Yin's hooves in the distance. He suddenly looked back and shouted to the other side: "Please help General Zhe quickly!"
Although the huge waves were released, the Wuding River was already rolling and turbulent. After several spring rains, the river water surged and the waves shook the sky. It was impossible to hear clearly from the other side. Yang Hao waved hard to Li Yide and felt
Li Yide understood what he meant, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Go upstream!"
The sound of horse hooves in front of him was loud. He didn't know the number of enemy troops. The only way he could go was up and down the river. There was a dam built upstream, so there must be enemy troops. But he just rushed upstream. If there was any enemy information, he would have an opportunity to take advantage of it. And just now this wave
The flood was rapid and short-lived, indicating that the dam upstream was very small. This may be because the Wuding River was extremely fast and it was difficult to build a larger dam, but it may also be because the number of enemy troops upstream was limited.
When the sound of horse hooves became more and more clear in his ears, Yang Hao had led his army upstream. A falcon spread its wings and soared in the sky. He saw a Milky Way rushing straight down. Thousands of troops and horses were going upstream. On the other side, they were helpless.
There were 6,000 rear-line officers and soldiers standing there. On this side, countless war horses were like wild wolves pounced on their prey, drawing in arcs towards Yang Hao's troops.
How many people are there on this route?
Li Guangrui pretends to return to Youzhou, but in fact all the troops are here, trying to kill me with a carbine? Or are these troops just the rear army that hurriedly crossed the river the day before? Is their morale still usable?
Yang Hao had no time to think too much. The enemy army was like the huge wave rushing over the Wuding River just now. It seemed that with the force of this attack, it would push Yang Hao's entire army into the Wuding River. Yang Hao led nearly ten thousand cavalry The horse galloped, rushing upstream at a crazy speed, looking for favorable terrain to stand on.
As expected, there was a troop responsible for building and demolishing dams upstream. Their number was indeed limited. It seemed that they did not expect that Yang Hao's soldiers and horses were suddenly attacked. They actually rushed towards a side that knew there were enemy troops. However, it was difficult to conceal the galloping horses. Despite the message, they responded quickly, mounted their horses, took off their bows, and strung their arrows.
With blood running through his eyes, Yang Hao personally charged forward, used a spear to strike the eagle feathers, and charged into the enemy formation. He led his bodyguards to rush forward as fast as tigers out of a tiger, killing the enemy without hesitation.
The enemies in front were only close to a thousand people, and they were completely unable to withstand Yang Hao's charge to the death. The army rolled over like an iron wheel, rolling over dead bodies and turning them into mud. But after all, this team of more than a thousand people had some effect. The blocking effect was that the army behind had already taken the opportunity to catch up.
The sounds of bugles and shouts of killing were mixed together. Yang Hao led his troops, and their only goal was to go upstream. He knew that his judgment was right. As long as he broke out of the encirclement, there would be no enemy ambushes to stop him going upstream, and his chance of survival would be in front of.
The armies of both sides collided on the river beach. Their swords were clanging and they were fighting endlessly. Yang Hao was as powerful as a mad tiger. A spear in his hand was soaked with blood. He was always at the forefront, and the Xiazhou army came up from layers of congested layers. The iron cavalry pierces through, move forward! Move forward!
The enemy troops were like locusts swarming over the sky to cover them up. Being in the middle of the situation, Yang Hao could not estimate how many soldiers and horses the enemy had. He could only move forward, like an arrow piercing through silk, piercing through layer by layer. The enemy's defense is weak, but the force of the crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Jian. How far can his arrow shoot?
In the turbid waves of the river, the wind rises and dust rises, covering the sky and the sun.
Zhe Ziyu took the horse and strolled gently through Yang Hao's military camp.
The military camp was empty, with many miscellaneous items scattered on the ground, showing the haste of the army's departure.
Zhang Shisan hurriedly opened the tents one after another, and then rushed back to Zhe Ziyu, anxiously saying: "Miss, there is no one there, everyone is gone."
Zhe Ziyu's eyes narrowed and she caught sight of a stove with an iron pot removed. She walked over, stretched out her hand to test the ashes on the bottom of the stove, stood up slowly, patted her jade-white palms lightly, and said: " It's probably Shenshi now, and Yang Hao's army may have set off in a hurry early in the morning, and we can no longer catch up."
Zhang Shisan said anxiously: "Didn't the eldest lady say that Li Guangrui must have a clever plan? What should we do now?"
Zhe Ziyu was actually more anxious than he was, but even if she cried so loudly, could Yang Hao be brought back from crying? She turned around silently, looking towards the southwest with a pair of eyes as clear as water, and a gust of wind and sand hit her. Gently lowering his eyelids, his long eyelashes shone slightly, as smooth as gelatin, and his delicate and beautiful dimples as white as plain jade showed a hint of melancholy: "The more times like this, the more panic you can't do. Don't be anxious, go to Jialu River first. Meet my big brother."
Zhe Ziyu has been paying attention to the intelligence in the northwest. Yang Hao, Zhe Yuxun, and Yang Chongxun agreed to build the plank road openly and secretly cross Chencang. Since the matter involved extreme confidentiality, the core information was only handled by Yang Hao's "Feiyu", and then Yang Hao chose
It needs to inform Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun of the intelligence. In this way, the Zhe family's "Suifeng" and Jisitang's intelligence organization are separated from the core intelligence group of the plan. This is why Cui Dalang only vaguely revealed the plan after it was done.
Get some clues as to why.
Due to the confidentiality and timeliness of the information surrounding the plan, Yang Hao would be able to obtain first-hand information at any time and respond immediately. It would be an afterthought for Ziyu's "Suifeng" intelligence agency to pay attention to this incident.
Zhuge Liang, so Zhe Ziyu put the intelligence gathering in a relatively clear place. If "Feiyu" is now spying and delivering core intelligence related to the secret war, then what "Suifeng" is doing now is overt intelligence collection.
Work, such as transportation of grain and grass, mobilization and deployment of troops, battle reports from various places, statistics of casualties, etc.
Of course, all of this revolves around Yang Hao mobilizing the tiger from the mountain and Li Guangrui besieging the city to bring reinforcements, so Zhe Ziyu will know the progress of the war at any time, and Zhe Yuxun cannot hide it from his sister and his own intelligence agency, so
Zhe Ziyu was fully aware of the latest trends. She knew that Xiazhou had fallen into the hands of Yang Hao, she knew that Yang Hao and Zhe Yuxun, Yang Chongxun judged that Li Guangrui was about to withdraw his troops and move closer to Suizhou, and she knew that Yang Hao and her eldest brother had already stationed troops in Liangchuan.
At the same time, the intelligence agents she spread out also continuously sent her intelligence from various places:
Li Pilu, the governor of Suizhou, stood still and had no intention of responding to Li Guangrui's battle;
The soldiers and horses of Shizhou who guarded the dangerous pass of the Great Wall leading to the Central Plains from the Western Regions had frequent exchanges with Youzhou to the west of the Great Wall. Youzhou provided Shizhou with a large amount of grain, grass and baggage.
Li Guangrui, the last grain team rushing from Xiazhou to Yinzhou, originally accelerated its journey after receiving the news of the fall of Xiazhou, and tried its best to get closer to Yinzhou. However, when it reached the vicinity of Wuding River, it suddenly gave up crossing the river and moved nearby.
We went to the only nearby mountain range and settled on the most dangerous Moyun Ridge.
Although Shizhou is a military fortress that can be blocked by one man, but that is only when its rear is unbreakable. Now Xiazhou behind Shizhou is in the hands of Yang Hao, and in front of Shizhou is Lin Mansion.
In the two states, there is no need to hold on to this so-called dangerous pass. Why do they still need to transport a large amount of grain and grass and make a defensive posture?
Why did Li Guangrui's grain team suddenly move to Moyunling? What was their intention?
All kinds of deeds seemed to be driven by an invisible big hand. Zhe Ziyu instinctively felt that a conspiracy was being formed against Yang Hao and her elder brother. She wanted to tell them her worries immediately, but Jialuchuan and Zhuolunchuan
They were two strategically important places that were temporarily seized. Whether it was a carrier pigeon or a flying eagle, it was impossible for her to be smart enough to fly to a place without setting up communication points in advance, so she had no choice but to rush there by herself. Unexpectedly, she was still a step too late.
When Zhe Ziyu rushed to Jialuchuan, Zhe Yuxun had received the news sent by Yang Hao before he camped. The army had been assembled and was ready to set off. When the brother and sister met, they immediately started marching together. During the march, Zhe Ziyu took control of himself.
With her elder brother, the two brothers and sisters deduced Li Guangrui's possible plans, and rushed all the way to the Wuding River.
The poor bones by the river are like those in a spring boudoir dream.
How many young men’s bones will be left behind on this ancient battlefield?
Yang Hao's foothold was an abandoned ancient city. The city was shaped like a gourd based on the mountain. It was small in area. Stone walls were built along the cliff. More than ten feet down, there was the surging Wuding River and the loess in the city.
The house collapsed long ago, leaving only ruins here and there. The loess city walls were extremely weathered, and large pieces of loess fell rustlingly when touched. There were a large number of pottery pieces and cattle and sheep bones in the ruins. A long time ago, this place should have been
It was a very prosperous place, but perhaps just because of a cruel war, this small town fell into ruins.
Yang Hao stood on the loess fence, looking at the dense enemy troops forming an encirclement in the distance. He was worried. He didn't expect that Li Guangrui would take a bite before he died, and the bite would be so poisonous and cruel. Who would have thought that he was so big?
With so much courage, he dared to launch such a perfect counterattack when the morale of the army was already in chaos? Who would have thought that in order to make the trick more realistic, he would even sacrifice two battalions of soldiers and horses as bait, and even his son became an abandoned son?
?
In this way, who can doubt his intention to move to Suizhou? Zhuge Liang, who is almost as smart as a demon, probably can't do it.
Now, his series of arrangements have successfully cut off the connection between Zhe Yuxun, Yang Chongxun and Yang Hao. Yang Chongxun has been firmly restrained on Luotuo Ridge. Li Jiyun's military strength is not weaker than Yang Chongxun, and Luotuo
The east slope of the ridge is gentle and not difficult to defend. The fortifications that Yang Chongxun spent a day and a night building are all on the west slope, turning into a pile of useless decorations.
Zhe Yuxun was left on the north bank of the Wuding River. It would be a long time before he could be found here, and Yang Hao... When Yang Hao broke out of the siege, he only had 6,000 soldiers left. The 4,000 soldiers
Not all of them might have died in the battle, but whether they died in the battle or the prisoners were scattered and broke out, it made no difference to Yang Hao at the moment.
A rough estimate of the number of enemy troops near and far is about 20,000. This is the last force to retreat. For Yang Hao, this is both a great blessing and a misfortune. The great blessing is that if all the 80,000 troops in Li Guangrui's hands are here,
His men and horses will be trampled into the mud. His relatives, when they arrive at the Wuding River in the future, they may not even be able to pick out his complete body among the countless bones.
Unfortunately, there are only 20,000 people here. Li Guangrui's main force must have traveled all night to return to Xiazhou. If he died here, could Xiazhou still be able to hold on? Maybe Li Guangrui's 20,000 troops could eat his remaining troops first.
, turn around and deal with Zhe Yuxun's reinforcements. At that time, it may not be impossible to retreat safely.
Li Guangrui is indeed not an easy person to deal with, nor is he an idiot-like opponent. The Northwest King, who has been in the Western Regions for thirty years, will use his tricks to counterattack before his death. This battle was fought beautifully, but the young and energetic Yang Hao finally made a mistake. He made a mistake.
There is bound to be a high price to pay. But how much does he need to pay?
Li Guangrui fell into Yang Hao's plan. As a result, he lost Xiazhou and his second son Li Jipeng died. His Western Region Empire has completely tilted towards Yang Hao. Yang Hao fell into Li Guangrui's plan. What did he have to pay?
