Horse on the World

Chapter 269 Dilemma
The 4 wolves stopped in Wuyan Bator, and within dozens of miles around them, almost all the elites of the Dingzhou Army gathered. Lu Dalin's Lv Division alone had nearly 3 people, and Qi Nian Division 2 people, nearly [-] people in the Changsheng Battalion, and nearly [-] troops in the Changsheng Battalion. Almost [-] troops are fiercely eyeing the delicious fat of Wolf Ben. Eating Lang Ben means that the building of the grassland barbarians will explode collapse.

Hu He is known as the number one general in the grassland, so he is not in vain. The choice of Uyan Bator as the last place of resistance is the result of his deliberation. Second, the geographical location of Uyan Mato is very mysterious. If you draw two lines on the map from here, you will find that the distance from here to Fuyuan, Weiyuan and other places can almost form an isosceles Triangular shape, Hu He's stance is a situation where he can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

Hu Hyuk doesn't want to stick to it, there is no way out.The terrain of Uyan Bator is relatively complicated. On the seemingly endless plain, there are actually countless traps hidden, wetlands, and swamps all over it. If you are not careful, you will fall into it.If you are not familiar with the geography here, you will suffer a lot in attacking.

Bayar of the royal court also knew that the battle of Uyan Bator was related to Guozuo of the Yuanwu Empire, who was born not long ago. Although a large number of troops were restrained by the Shiwei people, he still gritted his teeth and drew [-] elite troops from the Zhenghuang Banner to help Huhe. , so that the strength of Huhe's troops reached [-], and he had the capital to compete with Dingzhou soldiers.

The Shiwei army, which was burning, killing and looting everywhere, has gradually lost its advantage after entering the customs under the encirclement and suppression of Bayar and Boyan. Its strength was eroded little by little, and it was forced to begin to shrink its strength and move towards the Yishan division who had passed the mountain wind. Slowly approaching, Bayar, who had been forced out of breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid that the Shiwei people would gather with the passing mountain wind, but he was afraid that the Shiwei people would be erratic and fight randomly. Now Well, the Shiwei people have finally settled down. If they fight head-on, Bayar will not be afraid of the opponent at all.He began to make overall plans, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the Guoshanfeng and Shiwei coalition forces approaching the royal court.

Nearly 20 troops from Dingzhou gathered in Wuyan Bator, and Lu Dalin obtained the power to coordinate and command the entire army from Li Qing.It was the first time for the veteran Lu Dalin, who had fought against the barbarians for nearly [-] years, to hold such a strong soldier and horse, and he could not help but feel a little bit full of ambition when he was in the upper hand in the entire battle situation. His wish for many years will finally be fulfilled.

At this time, the Dingzhou Army was divided into three attacking groups, with Lu Dalin, Wang Qinian, and Yang Yidao as the main groups, and Lu Dalin had the power to control the other two groups. From Lu Dalin's point of view, Hu He on the opposite side had become a dead tiger. The advantage of the barbarian cavalry is their flexibility. Now they are forced to live in one place and take a defensive position. How can they be the opponents of the Dingzhou soldiers? This style of play is the strength of the Dingzhou soldiers!

After the three attack groups were in place, Lu Dalin gave the order to attack without hesitation.

The ideal is plentiful, but the reality is skinny. Lu Dalin, who was at the peak of his military career, was hit hard by Hu He when he was at his happiest. The first attack encountered a major setback. The two wings that launched the attack first, and soon after launching the attack, a large number of soldiers were not familiar with the terrain and did not know what was hidden under the yellow pasture on the seemingly flat grassland. Trapped in the ground and unable to get out, both infantry and cavalry became live targets for the wolf-running army on the opposite side, and a large number of them were shot and killed in the swamp.At this time, the excellent Kaijia of the Dingzhou Army became a burden instead. The Kaijia weighing tens of kilograms made it even more difficult for these soldiers to move forward. When advancing, Langben's trebuchets, eight-ox crossbows, and scorpion cannons caused them heavy losses.

Less than half a day after the storm, Lu Dalin, who had lost thousands of soldiers, was forced to stop his attack.

At the beginning of the retreat, Hu He did not give up the heavy equipment gathered in the camp and finally played a huge role. The Dingzhou soldiers were firmly nailed to Wuyan Bator.On the first day of the attack, the Dingzhou soldiers retreated in embarrassment without even coming into contact with the wolf-running formation.

In the next ten or so days, Hu He continued to send troops through the swamps and wetlands to launch counterattacks against the Dingzhou Army again and again. However, after the pursuing Dingzhou army suffered countless losses, Lu Dalin finally gave an order not to allow such unnecessary pursuits.

In Uyan Bator, a strange situation of confrontation emerged. The Dingzhou Army, which had a huge superiority in strength, was huddled in the camp. , constantly harassing the enemy on the opposite side.

The attack was weak, and Lu Dalin's mouth was covered with blisters, and he was so impatient!The commander-in-chief trusted himself so much that he handed over the command of the [-]-strong army to himself, not his confidant Wang Qinian. This was not only borrowing from his years of experience in fighting barbarians, but also a sign of his great trust in himself. You must know that under Xiao Yuanshan's rule a few years ago, the Dingzhou Army was at its peak, and the entire army did not have as many troops as it does now, but now, he was at a disadvantage, which made him very anxious and felt a sense of responsibility .

"Be sure to take Wuyan Bator before the Marshal's wedding!" Lu Dalin punched heavily on the big case, and said to Wang Qi, Yang Yidao, Wang Yan and other generals gathered in his big tent. "We want to use Hu He's head to congratulate the Marshal's wedding!"

Yang Yidao looked at Lu Dalin's anxious face, and said calmly, "Master Lu, Wuyan Bator has complex terrain, a hasty attack will cause heavy losses to our army, and Hu He on the opposite side is known as a wise general. Be careful, don't be rash and impulsive."

Wang Qinian let out a heavy breath, "Damn it, no one would have thought that this broken place is like this. It's been more than ten days, and I have only explored less than ten miles forward. If the camp is farther away, those wolf soldiers will appear like ghosts and shoot and kill my soldiers who explored the way. In ten days, I lost nearly a hundred scouts. This battle was really fierce."

Wang Yan also shook his head, and said helplessly: "These wetlands and swamps are too complicated. We followed closely and caught up. We saw the enemy on the opposite side passing through safely. When it was our turn, we sank with a bang. In a blink of an eye, victory Negative reversal. Master Lu, if you can't figure out the geographical terrain on the opposite side, it is useless to launch an attack!"

Wei Xin stood up, "Lord Lu, in fact, we have no other choice now. One is to send more scouts and explore the way slowly. As long as we understand the terrain in front of us, we can go straight to Huhe camp." .If we really can’t figure this out, then we can only wait.”

Lu Dalin raised his head in dissatisfaction, and looked at this veteran who was known for his defense, "When do you say we will wait? Could it be that we will hide here and let the newly-married general command the battle in person? If it is true So, wouldn't it make people laugh at me that there is no one in Dingzhou?"

Wei Xin sniffled and stroked his goatee. He didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Lu Dalin's words, and said unhurriedly: "It won't be long, Mr. Lu, the weather is our best helper. Look at this day, But it's getting colder every day!"

Lu Dalin didn't react for a while, but Yang Yidao suddenly remembered that he followed the commander in chief to inspect Jiming Ze last year, and his eyes lit up, "General Wei, you mean that when the weather is cold, it will freeze. After the temperature drops sharply, These swamps and wetlands will be frozen solid, and then they will no longer be an obstacle to our army!"

Wei Xin smiled and said, "Exactly, Mr. Lu, judging by the weather this year, we will have a smooth road in front of us in less than a month."

"One month?" Lu Dalin was silent.In fact, in Lu Dalin's heart, he really wanted the generals to send scouts to find out the terrain on the opposite side at any cost. For the first time commanding the whole army, he certainly wanted to give Li Qing a satisfactory answer, so that Li Qing could see more deeply. His own ability, and defeating Hu Hyuk at the same time is also a huge temptation, but he also knows very well in his heart that these important generals under his hands don't agree with his idea, but want to fight steadily, nibble away at every step, and deal with it. In different positions, of course everyone will have different ideas.Although Lu Dalin is the commander-in-chief of the whole army, he knows that he can't force these people to do something, because people like Wang Qinian and Yang Yidao are not inferior to him.

"Since everyone agrees, let's do this, wait first, but we can't wait. We still have to send out a large number of scouts to survey the terrain. Doesn't Huhe often ambush our scouts? Then everyone may wish to think of ways to counteract the situation." Doing it in the right way will also boost the morale of our army!" Lu Dalin said with a smile.

There was a rare day of peace in the camp of the wolf running army. After more than ten days of suffering, the Dingzhou army on the opposite side finally calmed down and never sent troops to attack again, but Hu He's face was even more ugly.
"Hushuai!" Nuoqia and Haoge quietly walked to Hu He's side.

"Did you find anything?" Hu He said quietly.

"It's getting colder and colder!" Hauge said, "But Commander, we have enough winter supplies in our camp."

"It's getting colder and colder, it's about to freeze!" Nuo Qi'a's expression was also very bad, "Lu Dalin must have thought of this too. That's why they stopped their unnecessary attacks, they are waiting."

"At first, I thought that the people of Dingzhou would be dazzled by the victory and attack my camp recklessly, but now it seems that this calculation was wrong. In the past ten days, Lu Dalin used thousands of casualties to finally let me go. Calm down, Nuoqia, Hauge, once it freezes, our hard days will really begin.”

Both of them are silent.

"After you return to your camp, strengthen your defenses. Learn from the defense of Dingzhou people. We must not only know how to attack, but also how to defend." After Hu He finished speaking, he walked back with his hands behind his back. Nuoqia and Haoge behind the scenes looked at Hu He, who was obviously too old for more than a year, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Hu Shuai was not optimistic about this war at all!
