The Northern Zhou army's numbers and experience were able to crush the Han cavalry under Xi's command.
Never be brave when you should follow your heart, as it will only cause insignificant losses.
Of course, Han Qinhu would not let Yu Xi hit the stone with an egg.
But this time, it is not impossible to use it as a bait to attract people's attention.
For Yu Wenchun, the Han cavalry was inexperienced and the number was not very large. If he could eat it in one bite, it would be a fatal blow to the morale of the defenders in the city. Don't say whether he knew it was a bait, even if he knew it
, or maybe you can’t help but bite your tongue.
After all, when one is strong enough, it is not impossible to eat the bait.
The Han army soldiers quickly moved to the foot of a hill, and the team disappeared into the woods.
The sky was overcast with light snow falling, and soon the footprints they left on the snow would be covered up again by the snow. Even if Northern Zhou scouts came half an hour later, they would not be able to find anything.
Snow was falling in the woods, and Li Jing took three steps at a time and then two steps up to the top of the mountain.
The two scouts have been lying here observing the enemy camp in the distance for a long time. Even their shoulders and heads were covered with snow. If they hadn't been closer, no one would have been able to tell that there were two people lying here.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they have become one with the snow.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Jing said, taking out the dry food from his arms.
The two scouts were not polite. They had been out for a short time, and their dry food had run out. In order to move faster in the snow, they didn't bring much food. Moreover, the weather was cold and their body heat was consumed a lot.
Naturally the demand for food is high.
The two men were munching on dry food and said: "Please look at the supervisor, the mountain in front is Bailangdui. The Bailangdui is two opposing hills. They are not very tall. To the south is the water, and to the southwest is the mountain."
Sangqian County (southwest of today's Ying County), today Yu Wenchun came out of Sangqian County and set up camp here after traveling. He must have realized that the weather was bad and wanted to take shelter."
Li Jing nodded slightly, the water can be considered a relatively large river, and Bailangdui is slightly north where the tributary Sanggan River enters the water, guarding the only way to Pingcheng and then to the grassland after going north from Yanmen Pass.
The water is the Sanggan River in later generations. After the main stream of the water dried up, the tributary Sanggan River became the upstream main stream. The name of the Sanggan River also replaced the complex and difficult-to-write water. As this river meanders eastward, its downstream is famous
Yongding River. Of course, these are all things for later.
As for Bailangdui, although it is just a small hill, it also has allusions.
At that time, Cao Cao led his army to pacify the north and attack Wuhuan. When he passed by, he saw a white wolf on the mountain, so he named it "White Wolf Pile", which was considered auspicious. In the end, Cao Cao really killed Wuhuan and defeated him.
The grassland has aroused the emotion of later generations that "the Han alone will perish by force". That should also be the time when the people on the grassland were the most useless. Even if the Han people were divided and civil war, you still have to call you daddy. If you don't, you will be called daddy.
You call me grandpa.
This is a good place
Li Jing smiled.
He doesn't know whether Wuhuan and Xianbei are related by blood, but since they are both from the grassland, this White Wolf Pile is not a good place for you, Yu Wenchun. The only drawback is that he is from the north.
If you come from the south, it will be even more perfect.
Li Jing was not superstitious, but he still prayed for the blessings of the Chinese ancestors.
It was Li Jing's dream to drive away the chaos and restore China.
"Supervisor, when are we going to take action?" The generals and battle leaders leading the team have already arrived.
Three thousand people gathered in several hills around here.
These hills are not dangerous, so there is no need to talk about defending according to the danger. Otherwise, Han Qinhu would have sent a partial army here, but the Tibetan troops are still good, especially since there has been no war in this area for many years. , there are not many people in the village, so the woods are quite dense.
"Wait until dark, and then listen to a certain order." Li Jing said directly.
He reached out and took off his cloak and spread it on the snow.
Everyone is a little surprised, what do you want to do?
Li Jing covered his cloak in the snow and then said: "Let everyone do this, it will come in handy when the time comes."
The reputation of this military supervisor may not be prominent in other places, but in Han Qinhu's army, no one knows about it, and no one knows about its existence. Han Qinhu has saved the day from danger several times, and all the credit goes to Li Jing. The figure behind him, coupled with Li Jing's status as a Qianniu Guard, made everyone even more impressed.
How can the people around His Majesty, the God of War, be just ordinary people?
"Yu Xi."
Yu Wenchun picked up the lamp and looked at the map, checking the latest news from the scouts. He found Han scouts thirty miles away to the north. He immediately followed them twenty miles further north and found Han cavalry, numbering 5,000.
The leading general was Yu Xi, the son of Yu Yi, one of the founders of the Han cavalry.
The Yu family in Lantian was one of the first Guanzhong aristocratic families to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Although this was actually driven by the Han Dynasty's alienation plan and Yang Jian's own suspicious character, not many people actually understood the reason, so for Yu Wenchun It is said that the Yu family of Lantian was an outright traitor to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Even if you say that there is no way out for you to take refuge with the big man, then why did you follow Yang Jian in the first place? Following Yang Jian is a betrayal!
Therefore, for a traitor like Yu Xi, Yu Wenchun did not mind cutting off his head.
What's more important is that there are only five thousand cavalry, and Yu Wenchun knew the details of these Han troops before. They are just a bunch of new recruits. What is there to be afraid of?
If it wasn't still snowing and the night was getting dark, Yu Wenchun would have even wished he could rush out with his cavalry and kill these five thousand enemies.
This is a mouthful of plump meat that almost reaches your mouth.
"Send the order, make some food one hour early tomorrow morning, break camp and head north, and have the scouts keep an eye on this group of cavalry to see if they dare to go south again." Yu Wenchun said coldly.
"Your Highness, could this be a piece of bait?" A close confidant couldn't help but ask.
Otherwise, Yu Xi is really too arrogant, appearing so arrogantly so close to Bailangdui, he really doesn't take the Northern Zhou cavalry seriously.
"It's possible, but probably not likely." Yu Wenchun said directly, "If you use five thousand cavalry as bait, then what are you going to use as predators? Infantry?"
At this point, Yu Wenchun laughed first.
Will Han Qinhu do something that puts the cart before the horse?
Several generals also smiled.
Are you kidding me about using infantry to surround the cavalry?
"There is a possibility that their infantry were actually used as bait. Unfortunately, it was dark and snowy, and our scouts did not find the bait at all, but found the predator. It may also be because the enemy cavalry moved too fast. , leaving our own infantry behind." The cronies couldn't help but start to imagine.
The atmosphere in the big tent became more relaxed.
