Chapter 195 Xue Wanshu(2/2)
After saying that, Xingzhong became inexplicably excited and attacked Khitan. This was a huge opportunity to make a contribution. He instantly understood the meaning behind Xue Wanshu's arrangement and saluted Qin Huaidao: "Xue Feng is at the mercy of the general."
"You're welcome, go get ready and leave at any time without leaking anything," Qin Huaidao warned.
"Follow the order!" Xue Feng hurried away.
"Remember to have General Qin's two horses fed with the best ingredients." Xue Wanshu warned, and then gratefully added to Qin Huaidao: "This boy is also somewhat brave, and he wants to join the Khitan and make contributions.
Now that the opportunity has come, I naturally wish for more generals from Qin to make it happen!"
"It's me who should be grateful."
"Hahaha, you two have come all the way, how about we chat while eating?"
"That's fine." Qin Huaidao was not polite.
The three of them sat down. When Qin Huaidao saw that there was still wine, he refused bluntly and said: "Captain Xue, forget the wine and leave immediately after eating. This time, in addition to the map, I came here as a guide. With the help of the Governor, both items have been completed.
I will definitely report it to the Holy One and ask for merit for the Governor."
"I'm serious, fighting is not easy, but do you still need some dry food?" Xue Wanshu asked.
"If you can, prepare some salt. If you need some silver, I'll pay you."
"It's all for the imperial court. If you need any silver, the Governor's Office will help you prepare it." Xue Wanshu said quickly, how could you miss such a good opportunity to perform meritorious service?
"That's it, thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
"Hahaha, I'm out of sight. Eat meat, eat meat. There's not much to eat in Yingzhou, but there's a lot of meat."
"Hahaha, if the people of Chang'an hear this, they will be hungry to death!"
The two complimented each other and said polite words, and they seemed to enjoy each other's meeting.
After the meal, Qin Huaidao got up and left. When he came to the door, he saw that the horses were still chewing something with a satisfied expression on their faces.
, Xue Feng came up to greet him and said in a low voice: "General, is it enough to hold the green salt?"
The white salt did not come out. Green salt is considered one of the best salts in this era. So much is valuable. Qin Huaidao said gratefully to Xue Wanshu: "Captain, I don't say thank you for your kindness. You will have a long time to come!"
"Hahaha, you're welcome. If necessary, send someone to inform you at any time." Xue Wanshu smiled with satisfaction, knowing that the favor was given away, and this incense relationship was concluded, which was a great comfort to me.
The three of them got on their horses and left in a hurry.
After leaving the city, the group galloped on horseback and soon came to a valley.
In the valley, countless war horses were resting on the ground, and people were leaning on the horses' backs, hugging each other, keeping each other warm. They were too cold to speak, and the silence was a bit depressing. The alert Yulin Army saw the three of them and immediately sent the news back.
Zhi Huansi Li, Cheng Chumo and others came forward one after another, and everyone looked at Xue Feng curiously.
Qin Huaidao introduced everyone one by one. When everyone heard that he was Xue Wanshu's nephew, they all greeted him.
When Xue Feng heard that they were all Dukes, he was frightened and returned the courtesy one by one. In this era of strict etiquette and respect for superiors and subordinates, the title of Duke was unattainable and precious.
Inexplicably, Xue Feng became excited. With so many generals participating in the battle here, it shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to it. If he follows and achieves some military merits, not to mention becoming a general, he will at least be promoted to an official position. He has more ambitions in his heart.
I wish I could pick up the sword and go to the battlefield right away.
"Dong An Guo, brothers, let's have a chat." Qin Huaidao shouted, came to a depression and squatted down.
The wind in the depression was much lighter. Everyone gathered in a group and saw Qin Huaidao taking out the map and spreading it out. Everyone's eyes lit up and they all became excited. Zhi lost his mind and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a beautiful map with such precision.
, this battle has a better chance of winning, General, this picture is a bit strange, where does it come from?"
"The governor of Yingzhou dictated it, and I will draw it."
"The general is a great talent!" Zhi lost his thinking and said sincerely. As a veteran general who fought hard, he was very aware of the importance and role of this map.
Qin Huaidao pointed to a tribe in the east and said, "Dong An Guo, do you dare to fight?"
Please be more aggressive than others!
Zhi lost his thoughts and knew that Qin Huaidao was agitating, but he said nonchalantly: "The general gave the order. All Turkic men are good at fighting, and no one will flinch."
"In this way, I will give this song to you." Qin Huaidao said with satisfaction and looked at Xue Feng.
Xue Feng took the topic knowingly: "General, this is considered a medium-sized Khitan tribe. There are more than two thousand households, and there are no less than a thousand people who can control the strings. It has considerable combat power. It can be reached in about an hour by horseback from here."
Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction. This was a good guide. He looked at Zhi Huansi Li and said, "Dong An Guo, if I leave it to you, no one is allowed to escape. How are you going to fight?"
"A tribe of two thousand households is not a small one, but it is too easy to get something to eat. You only need to sweep up the scouts along the way, suddenly attack, and concentrate your forces to kill them in the middle. You can kill most of their troops, causing extreme panic, and then turn around.
We can fight back and annihilate them all without any pressure." Zhi lost Si Li said confidently. We have fought many such battles in the past and we are sure of it.
Qin Huaidao also knew that this seemingly simple tactic was actually very effective. A sudden attack, catching him off guard, could not only greatly injure his opponent, but also cause panic. Once a person panics, his combat effectiveness will plummet, and when he turns back, he will
Not many have the courage to resist.
But he would also suffer a lot of losses. Qin Huaidao didn't want to suffer too many casualties and asked: "Dong An Guo, how much loss will be caused by fighting like this?"
"There is no one who can't die in a war." Zhihu Si Li said. Although they are all members of his own tribe, there is nothing he can do. After years of fighting, he has become accustomed to it and has even become numb.
Qin Huaidao asked: "I have issued a military order in front of the Holy Majesty to kill as few people as possible. Duke An, you are a veteran of the battlefield. Tell me, if you fight according to your method, how much damage will be done?"
"At least more than a hundred, probably close to two hundred." Zhi lost his ability to think and said.
When Qin Huaidao heard about the serious damage, he decisively gave up this strategy and stared at the map for a while. He suddenly remembered the Mongolian cavalry and archery tactics of later generations. It was considered the pinnacle of light cavalry tactics. It had three cores: one to encircle, but to run in a circle, and three
It's a projectile. To put it bluntly, it means using riding skills to continuously move quickly on the periphery and shoot the opponent from a long distance, taking full advantage of being good at riding.
Simply speaking, when it comes to archery while riding horses and moving quickly, it is really difficult for nomads to rival them.
A bold tactic comes to mind.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Huaidao said that there was absolutely no problem, "An Guogong, the biggest problem with your fighting method is that after you rush over, someone will sneak attack from behind, causing considerable damage, right?"
"That's true. When a large army rushes to kill, they focus on the front. They are not afraid of enemies in the front. However, it is impossible to kill them all when rushing. There are always many fish that slip through the net. Once a sneak attack from behind causes damage, for example, the general has a better way to solve it.
"Please tell me." Zhi lost his thoughts and asked, it would be better if fewer clan members died.
"This general has a way, wait a moment." Qin Huaidao said, picking up a piece of paper, taking out a piece of charcoal and starting to draw. Without a satellite map in hand, it is not easy to understand in vain. He can only draw to facilitate understanding of the battle intention.
Everyone saw Qin Huaidao sketching out the appearance of the tribe nearby, and they all looked at it curiously.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhi lost his mind and fully believed that the map was drawn by Qin Huaidao. He felt inexplicably more hopeful in his heart. Maybe this time he would be able to achieve unparalleled military exploits and save a few tribesmen.
After painting for a while, Qin Huaidao asked Xue Feng: "Does Xue Canjun have anything to add?"
"The terrain here is higher, here is a steep slope, and war horses will fall to death if they rush down, and here..." Xue Feng pointed at the drawings to add details. These details can often affect the battle. Qin Huaidao listened carefully and revised them carefully to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After a while, a detailed picture of the local terrain was completed.
Qin Huaidao pointed to the map and said: "Dong An, the team will set off in an hour. When we arrive here, it happens to be dinner time in the evening. People at this time are most relaxed and suitable for raids."
"That's right, everyone is eating with bowls and no one is holding a knife, so the effect of the surprise attack is better." Zhi Shisi Li agreed. Unexpectedly, Qin Huaidao knew how to choose this moment. He became confused. This was a newcomer who had never been on the battlefield.
?
Qin Huaidao continued: "Dong An Guo, you must make it clear to your troops that we will launch an attack at the same time. A thousand people will rush down from the west, which is the gentle slope. The terrain here does not affect the sprint of the war horses, but will help to accelerate. One word long
The snake formation rushed to about a hundred meters away from the tribe and launched a projectile attack. The speed did not slow down. It rushed south and ran around the tribe's camp. The projectiles could not stop. Is there any problem?" He pointed to a location on the map.
"No problem, but a thousand people may not be enough." Zhi lost his mind and looked at the map to remind him.
"Of course not enough."
Qin Huaidao pointed to a position to the east and said: "Another thousand people rush down from here, throw the same shot, and don't rush into the tribe. They also use a long snake formation to rush down. When they get close to the tribe about a hundred meters, don't slow down, and go towards
North, and then circle around the tribe, the two attacking troops can form a head-to-tail attitude, surround the tribe, spin in circles quickly, and launch missiles at the same time, like two giant pythons tightening tighter and tighter, until they strangle the tribe alive.
die."
"This strategy is to strangle two snakes!"
