Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth: strategizing
Yes, from the beginning, Li Min had no intention of letting them leave.
As the saying goes, when friends come, there is wine; when enemies come, there are shotguns.
Since you dare to invade the Tang Dynasty, you must be prepared to lose your life.
The number of cavalry around Moad was decreasing little by little.
What makes them feel even more sad is that they can't escape the pursuers at all.
What made them feel even more desperate was that they were unable to cause any harm to the pursuers.
If the cavalry led by Moyad had the only advantage compared to the steam tricycles of the Tang Dynasty, it was that their speed was even higher.
Unable to get rid of Datang's steam tricycle array, Moyad also tried to fight back.
He was prepared to get close to the steam tricycle at all costs and destroy part of the neat tricycle.
In this way, it is possible to create a gap for them to pass quickly.
But the result made Moyad realize in despair that he seemed to be overthinking.
It is true that their cavalry could catch up with Datang's steam tricycle formation, but after they paid a bloody price to catch up, they discovered even more despairingly.
Their steam tricycles are all made of thick steel. Their bows and arrows cannot penetrate them, and their swords and guns cannot cut or pierce them.
They were riding on war horses, and some of them could not reach others, but they could easily attack with short crossbows.
This seemingly method of risking death and living later turns out to be only death but no life.
In the end, Moad desperately led the remaining 500 cavalry and fled in panic.
But what if we can escape this time?
They couldn't get rid of the array of Tang Dynasty steam tricycles surrounding them.
By now, from top to bottom, they are in complete despair.
At this time, Moyad no longer expected to lead the remaining cavalry to escape.
He only hoped that he could bring the news here to Khalid, Ibn, and General Wei Lide.
So, Moad gave the order to the remaining two hundred cavalrymen and told them to flee in all directions.
No matter who it is, after escaping from the battlefield, they will immediately report the news to the general.
Let the general make his decision early.
After receiving Moad's order, the cavalry immediately dispersed.
On the contrary, Datang's Steam Tricycle Team was confused for a moment.
However, they quickly reacted and gave the order to split up and pursue each other.
In the handsome tent, the video fed back by the unmanned reconnaissance drone was perfectly displayed on the screen.
Seeing this scene, Li Min immediately guessed the little thoughts of the Dashi general.
The Steam Tricycle Team is not without flaws.
As a new thing, there are bound to be problems of one kind or another.
And the later Dashi learns their trump card, the greater glory they will be able to achieve.
Therefore, Li Min was not ready to let any of them go this time.
And because it was dark night, more than two hundred cavalrymen scattered and fled.
Although most of the cavalry were quickly killed by the Tang army, there were still a very few cavalry who escaped through the gaps.
There were also a few extremely cunning cavalrymen who gave up their horses and quietly sneaked towards the woods or rivers.
If you are not careful, they may really escape.
But how could Li Min let them escape?
With the unmanned reconnaissance drone, Li Min had a God's perspective.
Li Min could see clearly where they were escaping.
However, the current situation is that although Li Min can see traces of Dashi soldiers through the screen.
But now there are no telephones or walkie-talkies and other real-time communication equipment.
However, this is not difficult for Li Min.
This time, he came with Xiao Cai.
From the screen, Li Min saw five Dashi soldiers sneaking into a short pine forest in front of them.
They wanted to pass through short pine forest, then cross a grassy area, and finally leave through the river.
The feasibility of this route is very high, and there is a real possibility of them escaping.
However, it is a pity that the person they met was Li Min.
The next moment, Li Min wrote a note directly and handed it to Xiao Cai, ordering Xiao Cai to buy it for Xi Jun.
At this time, before Xi Junmai could reach the battlefield, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the front.
Well, in other words, it was a one-sided scream.
This voice was so loud that I couldn't understand what they were saying.
No need to ask, it must be Dashi's soldiers who are screaming.
It seems that the Fu army led by Xue Rengui has not only fought against the defenders in Dashi City, but also carried out a unilateral massacre.
Being able to do this made Xi Junmai impressed.
You know, he led an army of three thousand and attacked the camp at night, but there were still casualties.
And listening to the sounds coming from the battlefield ahead, it seemed like this was a one-sided massacre!
If it were his team, it would be impossible to achieve such results.
The battlefield was a completely one-sided scene. It seemed that by the time they arrived, the battle would have been over long ago.
At this moment, a colorful bird flew from the sky.
Xi Junmai saw this bird in Yizhou City.
One of the three major mascots of Yizhou City, the first is the divine dog Doudou, the second is the parrot Xiaocai, and the third is the panda Panpan.
Among these three mascots, Xiao Cai is the most famous.
Of course, this is also related to Xiaocai being a parrot.
Neither Doudou nor Panpan can speak, so Xiaocai has the final say no matter what.
It is impossible for the people of Yizhou, or even tourists who have been to Yizhou, not to know Xiaocai.
Not to mention that Xi Jun, who has lived in Yizhou for many years, bought it.
Soon, Xiaocai flew in front of Xi Junmai and made a difficult move.
It stopped and whirled on the spot, then stretched out its claws and handed the note written by Li Min to Xi Junmai.
After Xi Junmai took the note, Xiaocai spread her wings and flew onto Xi Junmai's shoulder.
Xi Junmai opened the note and found it was the handwriting of the King of Shu.
An order was issued from above, saying that there was a short pine forest five miles ahead of them, and five Taishi soldiers were hiding in it.
Then he ordered Xi Junmai to send soldiers to the short pine forest and capture the five Dashi soldiers.
After reading the order from the King of Shu, Xi Junmai murmured in his heart.
Xi Junmai naturally admired the King of Shu very much.
The king of Shu knew their whereabouts very well and admired them quite a lot.
However, Xi Junmai was actually quite dissatisfied with the order of the King of Shu.
It was night now, and Shu King Li Min was still in the commander's tent. How could he know that five Dashi soldiers were hiding in the short pine forest?
Xi Junmai felt that this order was meaningless.
There is no way there are five big food soldiers hiding in the short pine forest.
Xi Junmai didn't even want to give this order.
Because Xi Junmai believed that even if he did not issue this order, he could tell the King of Shu at that time.
I had already issued the order, but I did not find the five Dashi soldiers in the short pine forest.
Xi Junmai believed that it was impossible for the King of Shu to know whether he had sent any mission or not.
Well, what Xi Junmai didn't know was that Li Min actually had a clear view of the situation here through an unmanned reconnaissance drone.
But in the end, Xi Junmai decided to carry out the order of King Shu.
After all, Xi Junmai admired the King of Shu very much, and Xi Junmai was not willing to disobey his orders.
The short pine forest in front is actually quite large.
If a hundred people were sent there, it would probably take more than an hour to search.
In order not to waste time, or to put on a show, Xi Junmai directly sent all three thousand soldiers there.
In the forest of short pine trees, five Taoist soldiers were in shock.
Not long after they escaped from the battlefield, in desperation, they abandoned their horses and fled into the short pine forest.
At this time, they were exhausted and exhausted both physically and mentally.
After resting for a while, they did not dare to stay longer and prepared to cross the short pine forest, then enter the river and follow the river to leave here.
But at this moment, they heard countless footsteps outside the short pine forest, and countless torches were lit.
Looking at this posture, there must be at least two to three thousand people.
For a moment, these five Dashi soldiers were stunned.
I'm in a big mess!
Are these two or three thousand people here to arrest us?
We only have five people here, do we need such a big formation?
The five Taishi soldiers couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.
The five people hurriedly escaped.
Unfortunately, when the five of them entered the short pine forest, all of them were injured.
Although they have tried their best to erase the traces they left behind, how can they deal with it completely in the dark?
Xi Junmai's men quickly saw these traces and quickly reported them to Xi Junmai.
After learning the news, Xi Junmai couldn't help being shocked beyond measure.
It turns out that there are really Dashi soldiers hiding here!
It turns out that the news from King Shu is true!
But just now, I actually wanted to go against the will and do my best.
Thinking of this, Xi Junmai felt scared for a while.
Next, Xi Junmai personally came over with his men and quickly arrested five Dashi soldiers.
Then they carefully searched the short pine forest and confirmed that only these five people were hiding here.
At this point, Xi Junmai's admiration for the King of Shu has reached its peak.
The accuracy of the information about the King of Shu has reached an incredible level.
Not only did they know that someone was hiding in the short pine forest, but they also knew exactly how many people there were.
After this incident, Xi Junmai became secretly wary.
From now on, if you follow the King of Shu, you must complete every task assigned by the King of Shu without any compromise.
At this time, Li Min, through Xiao Cai, continuously mobilized troops and commanded the soldiers to capture the escaping Dashi cavalry one by one.
Xue Rengui, on the other hand, took the opportunity to attack the city and captured Guizi Town in one fell swoop.
Then, martial law was imposed on Guizi Town.
Send soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
After this battle was won, not a single person in the Dashi Empire escaped.
Moreover, Datang also blocked the news in time, making it difficult for Dashi to get effective news for a while.
Dashi had no idea how many soldiers and horses Datang sent here.
I don’t know how the Tang Dynasty won this war.
Using this kind of unequal information, Li Min can still fight a good battle.
After the prize battlefield was cleaned up, Xi Junmai, Li Yuanfang and others arrived at the temporary command post in Guizi Town to report the results of this battle to the King of Shu.
The first one to report was Xi Junmai.
The one Xi Jun bought had very high breasts and a loud voice.
"Your Highness, at the end of yesterday, the general was ordered to attack the enemy camp and kill three thousand enemy troops. Our army's casualties were three, seven were seriously injured, and fifty-six were slightly injured! At the same time, His Highness's precision
Based on the intelligence, five Dashi soldiers were captured."
After listening to Xi Junmai's report, Li Min nodded, and then said to him: "General Xi, when you go back, you can make a report to me about the battle, and I will help you present it in front of the emperor.
achievement."
Hearing Li Min's words, Xi Junmai couldn't help but blush, and couldn't help but nod his head.
Next, Li Yuanfang began to report on their battle situation.
"Your Highness, at the end of yesterday, the general was ordered to attack the enemy camp and kill two thousand enemy troops. No one in our army was killed or seriously injured, and only three people were slightly injured. My subordinates have punished them severely! In addition, according to Your Highness's intelligence
According to instructions, we captured eighteen Dashi soldiers."
What?
Hearing Li Yuanfang's words, Xi Junmai almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.
How can this be?
Although Li Yuanfang killed a thousand fewer enemies than they did.
But equally, their number is 2,000 less than them!
It was also an attack on the camp, and there were just as many people on their side.
As for Li Yuanfang's Huya Special Forces, the ratio is one to two.
What surprised Li Yuanfang even more was the number of casualties.
There were zero deaths! There were no serious injuries! There were only three minor injuries!
What's even more outrageous is that the three people who were slightly injured were punished severely!
Do you mean to say that it is simply embarrassing to be slightly injured in such a battle?
When you did this, did you consider the feelings of our team where three people died, seven people were seriously injured, and 56 people were slightly injured?
For a moment, Xi Junmai felt his face burning.
Only now did he understand how big the gap between their team and the Huya Special Forces was.
Xue Rengui's next report also made Xi Junmai feel ashamed.
Although Xue Rengui led an army of 50,000, he almost wiped out all 5,000 cavalry of Dashi, and not one of them died.
Only dozens of people were seriously injured.
I heard that the cause of serious injuries was due to unfamiliar road conditions in the middle of the night, and the car overturned and injured people...
It turns out that the serious injuries suffered were not due to the war, but due to the rollover of the car...
Looking at his side, three people actually died. This made Xi Jun even find it hard to accept.
If it is said that it is just inferior to the Huya Special Forces, Xi Junmai can barely accept it.
Because the Huya Special Forces is an army secretly built by the King of Shu, and the Huya Special Forces have sharp combat capabilities, Xi Junmai can still accept it.
But now the army led by Xue Rengui is so powerful, completely outmatching his own army, which Xi Junmai cannot accept.
Xue Rengui's martial arts skills were, at best, just a tier above him.
When it comes to leading troops to fight, although Xi Junmai admits that Xue Rengui is very strong, he is not weak either!
Why is the army he leads now so much worse than Xi Junmai?
