Perhaps Liu Ling was not the first person in ancient times to use protective colors in war, but there is no doubt that he took this simple deception to the extreme. Before leaving Taiyuan, each of the cavalrymen in the Shura Camp was issued a snow-white robe, wearing
Wearing such robes while walking or resting in the snow, you would not notice anything from a distance. Moreover, the survivors of the Tiande Army told Chen Tiaoxian that the Khitan Wolf Riders were all black-clad and black-armored, out of inertia.
Thinking about it, no one thought that a robe could cover the traces of Shura.
The most recent time, Liu Ling's Shura camp and the Xixia cavalry were only five miles apart, and the two teams that almost passed each other walked past without any intersection. Of course, the prerequisite was that Liu Ling, the cavalry, was not sure that he would be killed.
Eat it whole. But if you encounter a patrol of hundreds of people, Liu Ling's appetite will be clearly revealed.
In this way, within a month, Liu Ling used slightly despicable hide-and-seek and guerrilla tactics to kill more than a dozen Xixia soldiers of all sizes. Counting the Tiande Army, he had wiped out more than 5,000 Xixia soldiers.
The Shura Camp lost less than a hundred people. The remaining team of more than 1,400 people, after countless experiences of blood and fire, has truly grown into elite soldiers in hundreds of battles!
Liu Ling did not bring much rations with him when he led his troops from Taiyuan Prefecture. This time in Xixia, he collected food on the spot. He robbed every village he encountered, but he did not kill the unarmed people. Liu Ling did not bring much food with him.
Ling ordered the cavalry not to speak during the robbery. The team under the banner of Daliao Wolf Head did not look like a Han cavalry. Moreover, Liu Ling and several major generals deliberately communicated in Khitan in front of the Xixia herdsmen.
This further confirmed their identity as Khitan Wolf Riders.
Ten thousand Xixia cavalrymen circled the vast prairie, but could not find any trace of the Shura camp. Every time they found a robbed village, they would learn that the Khitan wolf cavalry had just left, and they would gallop to pursue them.
After hundreds of miles, not even a single horse's mane was found.
The general leading the Blackwater Army is named Geng Zhongxin. He is an out-and-out Han Chinese. However, his ancestors have moved from the Central Plains to the territory of the Dangxiang people for countless generations. After hundreds of years of integration, there is no trace of Han in him.
The shadow of the Geng family. After intermarriage with the grassland people, the Geng family's Han bloodline has become weak. From the whiskers on Geng Zhongxin's face to his strong physique, as well as his speech and behavior, it is impossible to tell that he is a Han person.
Descendants.
A month of futility made Geng Zhongxin furious. In order to find the Khitan cavalry that had suffered a thousand blows as soon as possible, he had to disobey Chen Tiaoxian's order not to separate troops, and divided his five thousand cavalry into two teams, heading in different directions.
Looking for traces of the Khitan Wolf Riders. The reason why he dared to do this was because he concluded that the Khitan people were not familiar with the geography and relied entirely on robbing for supplies. However, the grassland was vast and sparsely populated, and the Khitan people must have been unable to find their villages for several days in a row.
Come and grab it. Once the Khitan heavy-armored cavalry is in a situation of no food, they can't even stand up under their heavy armor!
The Dangxiang Qingqi, who were driven crazy by the Khitans, have strong morale. They are far more familiar with the environment in this area than the Khitans. Playing at home, they have too many advantages to play, even when facing the Khitans, who are said to be like hell demons.
With heavy armor, they also have a chance of winning in a battle, and the chance is quite high.
Furthermore, judging from the activity trajectory of the Khitan people in the past month, the scope of their movement is within a radius of 500 miles. The area that has not been trampled by the Khitan cavalry is already limited, so dividing the troops and encircling them is undoubtedly a way forward.
select.
After making up his mind, Geng Zhongxin sent his personal troops to contact Di Gan, the general of the other cavalry group, to tell him his decision to divide his troops, and then asked Di Gan to cooperate with his actions as much as possible.
Geng Zhongxin wrote a handwritten letter and gave it to his soldiers. After demarcating several areas, he asked his soldiers to tell Di Gan that he divided his troops firstly to find the Khitan cavalry as soon as possible and then encircle and annihilate them; secondly, he divided his troops after
A certain team of the Khitan heavy armor was used as bait to lure the Khitan heavy armor to appear. He speculated that the general leading the Khitan heavy armor must be a greedy person. Once he saw that the Daxia cavalry had separated, he could not say that the bold Khitan general would fight.
Among them, it was the idea of Daxia soldiers all the way.
After demarcating the area, as long as Di Gan's men and horses patrol the area, once the cavalry team used as a bait draws the Khitan heavy armor out, the two teams can quickly encircle the Khitan heavy armor and annihilate it. This
The plan was not only bold but also very feasible. Geng Zhongxin knew that Di Gan would definitely not reject his suggestion. Because Geng Zhongxin knew that Di Luo, the commander of the Tiande Army who died, was Di Gan's biological brother. Even if he didn't
Since Da Xia only wanted to avenge his brother, Di Gan had no reason to refuse his intention to cooperate.
As expected, Di Gan, who received his news, agreed to his strategy, and in order to cooperate with Geng Zhongxin's troops to form an encirclement against the Khitan heavy armor in the designated area, Di Gan sent his five thousand cavalry
It was also divided into two teams, one team was given to the command of General Ensak, and the other team was personally commanded by Geng Zhongxin and had already detoured into the hundred-mile area designated by Geng Zhongxin.
After receiving Di Gan's reply, Geng Zhongxin's confidence greatly increased. He asked his deputy, Lang Jiang Muli, to command a cavalry of 3,500 people, while he himself took 1,500 cavalry to act as bait. He did not intend to
He was afraid that if he brought more men and horses, he would not be able to arouse the appetite of the Khitan general. Fifteen hundred people, such a fat bait should be able to reveal the hidden wolf, right?
What Geng Zhongxin didn't know was that his team had been looking for traces of the Khitan cavalry, and the so-called Khitan heavy armor was following their team, walking leisurely. The pursuers were rushing in front, and were being chased by
The pursuers walked behind the pursuers. If Geng Zhongxin knew that the Khitan heavy armor he thought was behind his butt, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
This was another use of reverse thinking by Liu Ling. He was sure that the Xixia soldiers would not think that his team dared to follow them, and the distance between the two sides was not even thirty miles. Because according to inertial thinking, the Xixia soldiers would not go
Scouts were sent to reconnoiter the enemy's situation in the places they had already passed. Liu Ling took advantage of this opportunity. He even calmly robbed a large village of more than 2,000 herdsmen behind Geng Zhongxin's back, and replenished the food supply.
There are more soldiers than Xixia soldiers.
When the scouts reported to him the news of the division of the Xixia troops, Liu Ling was lying on the grass with a piece of fur in his mouth and was thinking about whether it was time to go home. He had been out for more than a month, and his intention of training for war had been achieved.
Now this Shura battalion cavalry has been reborn once again and has become a truly heroic force.
But after hearing the scout's report, Liu Ling decided to spend a short time before going home. Since the enemy was willing to use him as a bait, Liu Ling really didn't mind swallowing the bait in one gulp, patting his butt and leaving.
.Don’t take advantage of it, you bastard.
Liu Ling, along with Hanasanlang and Zhao Er, and only four or five guards, quietly approached the temporary camp of the Xixia soldiers. On a high slope, Liu Ling observed carefully.
"The Xixia people have divided their forces. Are they planning to lure us out? Or are they planning to expand the scope of the search?"
Zhao Er lay on the grass and said, the snow-free grass was dry and soft, and it felt very comfortable to lie on it, making people want to roll around.
Hanasaburo chuckled and said: "No matter what he wants to do, I'm afraid his wishful thinking will all come to nothing. That Geng Zhongxin will never think that we will follow him right after him."
Zhao Er burst into laughter: "I used to say that following someone else's butt would only eat dirt and shit. I never thought that one day I would live such a happy life following the enemy's rear. I only thought about those few
I just want to laugh when we clean up a large village where our cavalry has left."
Liu Ling chuckled and said: "This time we will follow the enemy and not eat dirt, but drink blood!"
"Huh?"
Hanasaburo pointed to the Xixia army camp and said: "Look, my lord, look at the numbers. The two teams of Xixia soldiers are not divided into five or five. One has more soldiers and the other has fewer soldiers."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "That's natural. If he divided the troops equally, the bait would be too big. If the bait is too big, he is afraid that the fish will be scared away. That small team, it seems that Geng Zhongxin wants to
He personally leads it, so it seems that this guy is a bit brave."
He pointed to the general's flag that had been erected in the small team and said.
Zhao Er curled his lips: "I think he is not brave, but a real idiot. If he acts as a bait as the commander of an army, he might be swallowed up without even the bones and dregs left! It seems that the people around him are
There will be no more than 1,500 men. As long as we keep an eye on him, find an opportunity to swallow it and then walk away, that Geng Zhongxin will regret it even if he is not killed by us!"
Hanasaburo said: "Yes, let's keep an eye on him and eat this fat and beautiful bait if we have the chance!"
The two people began to discuss countermeasures. After discussing for a long time, they realized that Liu Ling had not interrupted. The two people stopped talking and cast their eyes on Liu Ling's face, waiting for the prince to give an order. They just looked at it for a long time, why?
Look, the prince's gaze didn't linger too long on Geng Zhongxin's team. Looking along the prince's line of sight, it turned out that the prince had been staring at the large team.
The two people looked at each other and asked in unison: "My lord, are you planning to..."
Liu Ling smiled, stood up, patted the dust on his body and said, "Well, that's what I planned to do. Now that we're swallowing, we won't swallow the small ones, but the big ones! We'll swallow him until he feels distressed.
