Chapter 218: Jie Li's Trick, Li Jizhong's Trick (Chapter 1
In Yunzhou City, Bingzhou Governor Li Ji personally took charge of the feint attack in the east!
"Based on time, Bai Fan and his team went to the Western Turks to seize horses, they should be able to return to the Tang Dynasty in these few days. Our feint attack plan should be almost over!" Li Ji said to the generals below in the city lord's mansion.
Cheng Yaojin said, "Mr. Mao, since this is the case, why don't we take this opportunity to do a good job, otherwise we will die in front of the old boy Jie Li for a few months, and we will not even get a bad fortune!"
Li Ji laughed and scolded, "It's all the generals, and the habit of horse racing cannot be changed. As long as our feint can cooperate with Bai Fan and others to pull the horse back smoothly, then we will be a great achievement. If it is because of our actions without authorization, it will affect the overall plan, let alone get the benefit, we can get the crime in the end!"
"How could it be? You have a master of your magic tricks! Besides, we have still lost hundreds of brothers to the feint attack here. How can we not find the barbarians to find the place?" Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully.
Li Ji shouted, "Retrieve the place? Can you destroy Jie Li in one fell swoop? If you can't destroy him, it would be a tough battle with heavy losses. Our soldiers will have more casualties. This is absolutely not possible, don't think about it!"
At this moment, a commander outside the gate rushed in, "Report! General! Last night, the scout found that there was movement in the army outside Dingxiang City!
A cavalry team of about 50,000 people galloped westward at night!”
What?
Li Ji stood up suddenly, "Looking west? 50,000? So, was Jie Li discovering our purpose? Could it be that a traitor leaked the secret?
No, if it is a traitor, then the secret should have been leaked early. Jie Li shouldn't have just dispatched troops now!
Then, it can only be that there is a war on Bai Fan. Only a big war can alarm Jie Li to send troops westward!
Come and find out how many soldiers and horses are left in Dingxiang City?"
"Mr. Maogong, since Jie Li has sent troops to intercept our Xuanjia Army, let's go and help quickly. The Xuanjia Army cannot fight the 50,000 troops!" Cheng Yaojin shouted.
Niu Jinda below also stood up to ask for a fight!
Li Ji shook his head and said calmly, "No, this is wrong!
We can't chase the 50,000 cavalry, we can't catch up, but we can come to surround Wei and save Zhao!
At this time, he attacked Dingxiang City and forced the 50,000 troops to return to the rescue!"
"Okay, my old Cheng leads the team! Break through Dingxiang and take down Jie Li!" Cheng Yaojin shouted!
Then Li Ji spoke again, "No, not right! Jie Li knew that our army was approaching, so he would definitely not dare to transfer the army casually. Dingxiang only had 60,000 or 70,000 troops. If he transferred 50,000, wouldn't he be afraid of us siege?
So, he wanted to lure us to attack the city, and then the 50,000 troops came outside the city to cooperate with each other!
OK, good plan!"
Niu Jinda questioned, "What if they are not afraid of siege, then 50,000 will be to deal with the Xuanjia Army? Aren't we not completing the task of delaying Jie Li with feint attack?"
"Don't worry, if the 50,000 dare not return to the support, then we will turn the feint attack into a strong attack! Maybe there is still a chance to win Dingxiang City in one fell swoop!
As for the 50,000 people heading west? Humph, His Majesty the West sent a pharmacist to take charge of Liangzhou. The Turkic barbarians must be able to get by!"
After planning everything, Li Ji sent people to Liangzhou in the west to urgently deliver the message to eight hundred miles, he began to arrange troops!
"Cheng Zhijie, tomorrow you will lead 20,000 soldiers and bring all the attacking equipment to attack Dingxiang City head-on. Your purpose is not to attack the city, but to still be a feint attack. You must control the casualties of soldiers!"
"Get orders! That, Mao Gong, no, the general, why not attack? The opponent's city is empty!" Cheng Yaojin said inexplicably.
"Execute the command, if the time comes, you will be there!" Li Ji explained.
"Niu Jinda, I ordered you to lead 20,000 infantrymen to ambush the official road 30 miles west of Dingxiang City. If you see Turkic soldiers returning to help, you will fight out with all your strength, no matter what means you use, it is important to annihilate the enemy to the greatest extent!"
"Get orders!"
Li Ji, who had arranged everything, had a hunch in his heart. There was probably a big battle between the two sides in the last few days of this feint attack on the East Road!
The next day, all the troops in Yunzhou came out and each took action!
Cheng Yaojin had a feint attack all day, and Jie Li's side was purely guarding and defending the death penalty without seeing any abnormal situation. Judging from the situation, the troops in the city were indeed empty, because the defenders at the Dingxiang City were very nervous and the guards were very strict!
Niu Jinda stayed for a whole day, but no reinforcements were seen on the official road in the west to rescue Dingxiang. He had no choice but to follow the military order and wait overnight!
But two days have passed and there is still no movement. Li Ji has ordered Cheng Yaojin to change feint attack into main attack, but except for Jie Li personally climbing the city to boost morale, there are no reinforcements at all!
Li Ji was depressed. It seemed that he had made a mistake in his calculations. In this way, the 50,000 troops were really going to deal with the Xuanjia Army. It seemed that wealth was so touching. The temptation of a BMW group was really great. A hero like Jie Li dared to take risks!
On the third day, a bad news came. It turned out that Li Daozong sent someone to send news that he intercepted Turkic soldiers in the north. The day before yesterday, the Turkic soldiers suddenly increased by 20,000 troops, so Li Daozong wrote to ask Li Ji what was going on!
When Li Ji saw it, he felt something was wrong. Didn’t he say that Dingxiang had 50,000 yuan out of the city? Why did he only 20,000 yuan to the west?
So where did the other 30,000 go?
After taking the map and thinking in detail, I saw the direction of Youzhou in this feint attack. A thought arose from the bottom of my heart, it would not be...
As if to verify Li Ji's ideas, Chai Shao was still performing daily tasks this day. In previous years, the Turks fought south with autumn wind. Now the Youzhou army also tasted the taste of fighting autumn wind. Every day, two thousand people would be sent to harass and feint attacks and scold!
Chai Shao’s purpose is very simple, which is to annoy the opponent. When he is trying his best to save his soldiers, he can shoot a barbarian soldier on the opposite side with a cold arrow. That is a big profit and he wants to drink a celebration wine!
As the saying goes, Feng Shui turns, how can you take advantage of everything and not suffer losses in the world?
On this day, when the harassing team sent by Chai Shao came back with victory, a group of troops suddenly emerged from the rear, and a total of 10,000 Turkic cavalry rushed straight towards Chai Shao's camp!
Chai Shao sneered, thinking you could hold back and fight back, just knowing that you are not good people, ten thousand cavalrymen, Humph, I have been setting up for a month!
Every time Chai Shao sent out, he would leave a line to observe whether there were anyone in the Turkic camp with him. However, the Turkic side was defending the enemy. Today, he reported that the Turkic opposite was still hiding, but now he had 10,000 soldiers and horses emerged from somewhere to attack. Chai Shao, who was puzzled, didn't care. He was bored this month, so he was all here to prepare for a trap to prevent a sneak attack!
At Chai Shao's order, the atmosphere of the Youzhou Army camp, which was originally relaxed and pleasant, changed instantly. The entire army took action carefully. The entire camp exuded a tense atmosphere. All the soldiers quickly set up their defensive postures to prepare for the enemy!
Soon, the two sides fought in the Youzhou camp. Ten thousand people on the Turkic side were overturned by the people from Chai Shaokeng who had been prepared. The front of the camp was full of traps to deal with cavalry, such as horses, bamboo thorns, tripping horses, etc., and arrows were constantly being fired on the arrow towers on both sides!
Although the Turkic cavalry was caught off guard, they still charged forward fearlessly!
Just when Chai Shao ordered the siege of the other party, another strong sound of horse hooves came from the north of Youzhou Camp. When he turned around, he cried out, "It's over!"
I saw the black cavalry rushing over with swords and swords. Judging from the posture, it was as much as 20,000!
Chapter completed!
