Li Su selected 500 elite soldiers to lead them himself, and handed over the remaining troops to Dong Bai.
Dong Bai has developed her own reputation these days, and the soldiers are willing to use her, so the takeover went smoothly.
The solemn atmosphere made the military lords and low-level military attachés at the level of Du Bo aware of something. Although they continued to rush on the road inhumanely, no one came forward to complain.
Li Su continued to move forward with his small number of elite troops. Three days later, as he was marching, his strategic tactics were suddenly triggered.
Li Su opened his eyes and looked around, and saw murderous aura rising in the valley in the distance, and countless soldiers and horses were stationed there.
Li Su felt happy in his heart. He sniffed the scent in the air and carefully avoided Zhao Qian's hidden whistle.
When I saw the large camp that had been built hastily, I was relieved.
Judging from the loose atmosphere in the camp, Zhao Qian probably hasn't started to prepare for action yet. If Dong Bai's rear team arrives in time, they should be able to catch them off guard.
Li Su returned to his elite soldiers and directed them to repair and hide nearby. Li Su himself watched nervously what was going on in the camp.
A whole day passed, and Dong Bai's rear team arrived late with their baggage. Zhao Qian's troops and horses seemed to be repairing themselves, and they had no intention of leaving in a hurry.
Li Su carefully observed his surroundings and finally understood. The place where Zhao Qian was stationed was on a high ground. From there, he could ambush the troops coming out of the plank road. He could definitely suppress the soldiers inside without raising their heads.
If Dong Bai was ambushed in a hurry, he would inevitably retreat when the situation was unclear. After retreating for a few days, he found that his retreat had been cut off, and it would be too late to react at that time.
What a sinister intention.
If this is the case, I am afraid that Zhao Qian will soon start purging the Xiliang soldiers in the camp!
Li Su hurriedly went to see Dong Bai and expressed his judgment.
Wang Yun was afraid that Dong Bai would be reckless, so he panicked and said quickly, "If this is the case, we might as well wait until they are fighting and then suddenly attack. Then we can reap the benefits!"
Li Su was a little moved when he heard this. This is indeed safer.
Dong Bai shook his head and said, "That's not right. If Zhao Qian makes a surprise attack, those Xiliang soldiers will definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if we take advantage of the chaos and take the lead, we won't be able to gain much advantage. Those Xiliang soldiers will be an important force that we can borrow."
, it shouldn’t be wasted like this.”
"this……"
Wang Yun was confused.
He is a little confused now and doesn't know where to stand.
Li Su thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's take advantage of them and launch an attack earlier."
Dong Bai made up his mind and said calmly, "Then let's rest for the night. We will attack early tomorrow morning. Success or failure will all depend on this battle!"
Dong Bai said it simply, everyone understood that this was a matter of life and death.
Early the next morning, after a hurried breakfast, Dong Bai summoned his troops and told them that Zhao Qian had rebelled and that his retreat had been cut off.
As she expected, the soldiers fell into fear and commotion.
Wang Yun secretly sighed that Dong Bai was unwise, but Li Su guessed something.
Dong Bai stood high up with his sword pressed, looking calmly at the noisy army below. After those people's panic was vented, he signaled to Li Su.
Li Su instantly confirmed what he was thinking.
He took two steps forward, stared at the soldiers below, and cursed loudly, "Why are you panicking! Are your lives more valuable than the king of Weiyang? The king of Weiyang is not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Li Su's words were unpleasant to hear, but they struck a chord directly in his heart.
After hearing this, many soldiers felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
When the soldiers in the field calmed down, Li Su shouted loudly, "I won't hide it from you, the way to survive is right in front of you! Although Zhao Qian rebelled, there are many Xiliang soldiers in his army who are on our side. As long as we rush in
In the enemy camp, take advantage of the chaos to kill Zhao Qian and raise the flag of Weiyang Lord, and Xiliang generals will naturally respond!"
Li Su paused and waited for the soldiers to digest the information before continuing to shout.
"Life or death, it all depends on today's fight! If you can kill Zhao Qian and defeat the traitor army, everyone will be rewarded generously when you return to Chang'an! If you shrink from the battle, you will be dead!"
After hearing this, many soldiers gritted their teeth and worked hard.
Dong Bai saw that his troops were ready and ordered his soldiers to attack.
Li Su carried a strong bow and a hook spear, and led a small number of elite soldiers to go ahead. Many of Zhao Qian's army's secret agents who were lying in wait were killed by an inexplicable cold arrow before they saw the enemy.
The vanguard of this army was not discovered until not far from Zhao Qian's camp.
A brief fierce battle occurred in an instant.
Those Zhao Qian's soldiers looked at the friendly troops catching up behind them almost completely unprepared. They didn't realize something was wrong until these people showed their fangs.
Li Su held up his hook gun and went on a killing spree, taking control of the camp gate in a very short time.
The fierce fighting and commotion here quickly alerted the soldiers in the camp.
Some low-level military attachés shouted loudly and began to organize resistance spontaneously, and soldiers came one after another from all sides of the camp.
Zhao Qian also hurried out of the Chinese military tent. When he saw the situation in front of him, he understood something instantly.
He hurriedly walked towards the rear camp.
The Sima and Xiaowei who conspired with him quickly summoned their own soldiers and horses, and together they fought towards the camp gate.
After Li Su briefly gained the upper hand, Zhao Qian's numerical advantage in the camp soon exploded.
The location where Zhao Qian camped was very advantageous.
Li Su's soldiers could only launch out a little bit from the plank road.
Li Su's elite soldiers killed and wounded more than 300 people in one go, and he also paid a price of more than 100.
Such an exchange ratio is already a huge advantage, but with the large number of soldiers dying, the team led by Li Su is slowly being squeezed out of the camp.
Li Su shouted slogans to kill the rebels, but all he got in exchange was a hail of arrows.
After Zhao Qian retreated to a safe place, he began to calmly command each battalion head and launch attacks in turn.
Li Su was fighting alone at the front. Seeing that the situation was not good, he could only retreat slowly.
Dong Bai, Wang Yun, and Cai Yan stood at the rear, looking at the situation in front and could only worry. In this surprise attack, Li Su's lack of powerful military tactics was fully exposed.
Although Li Su's own force was strong, the vanguard failed to penetrate the enemy camp immediately and release the troops behind him, so he lost the opportunity.
Wang Yun was the first to back down. He hurriedly said to Dong Bai, "Weiyang Lord, Li Su really can't make it happen! Why don't we let him back down first, and then we can think of a solution!"
How could Dong Bai not understand that this attack was a bit risky?
But her original intention was to kidnap everyone and fight for her own survival, so there was no reason to back down at this time.
Dong Bai said decisively, "How can we turn back at this time? Now we can only rush out with all our strength. No more waiting, I will go to the front of the army personally and try to persuade those Xiliang soldiers to surrender!"
According to the original plan, at least until Li Su breaks into the enemy's formation, the Weiyang Lord will appear.
Now that the situation is ruined, we can only take a risk!
However, Dong Bai's "big bang" words suddenly reminded Cai Yan beside him.
