Horse on the World

Chapter 591 I want to fight a chaotic war

Li Qing's Dingzhou army stationed in place for five days, and the Hailing camp that took down Zhuocheng also stopped. They were already too far ahead and too far away from the main force. Tian Qi killed a carbine and ate nothing left. While defending from the city, he waited for the large army behind him, the middle army and the Li's Yizhou army on the left to catch up.

Five days later, Li Qing's Central Route Army took Wang Qinian's Tianlei Battalion and Guan Xinglong's Hengdao Battalion as the vanguard. There are two more things under the feet of the pawns, and that is the sled.In the past few days, the craftsman camp has been fully activated, and tens of thousands of such simple sleds have been made. Of course, it is said to be simple, but it is many times more refined than Buyangu's.

This thing is extremely simple to make. To the craftsmen at all levels in the craftsman battalion, it is nothing at all. It can be done at a glance, but it took several days for the soldiers to learn it.

The two battalions were under the unified command of Guan Xinglong, and they marched lightly. The soldiers only carried a few days of dry food and the necessary weapons and arrows at any time, and then they set out on the road. Their purpose was not to destroy how many armies of Tianqi, but to entangle the opponent tightly. , don't let the opponent retreat too calmly.

Entering Qinzhou, it is not as calm as in Yizhou. Along the road, Qinzhou people used a large number of docks built in the past, and the villagers and local troops guarded the forts, trying to delay the speed of the Dingzhou army's advance. , if they are defeated one by one, it may take several months to remove these Wubao along the way. , Li Qing categorically ordered the implementation of leapfrog tactics. For these Wubao along the way, as long as the guards were less than a thousand, they would ignore them, bypass Wubao and keep moving forward.

The speed at which Li Qing's army advanced greatly exceeded Tian Qi's expectations, and also disrupted his pace of withdrawal. In Yizhou, Tian Qi categorically ordered the withdrawal of troops, which surprised Li Qing. But the following heavy snowstorm made it difficult for the armies of both sides. Relying on the advantage of going ahead for more than ten days, Tianqi was calm and unhurried. God is fair to both sides. If I can’t go fast, so can you.

This was indeed the case at the beginning. Although Li Qing's Dingzhou army was strong, the heavy snowstorm made the Dingzhou iron cavalry useless. Then they felt that something was wrong, and every day when they visited the horses to report where the opponent's army had arrived, Tianqi Qu Yongjie and others frowned.

"Li Qing, what kind of ability does he have to make the pawns advance so fast? Could it be that this person really has inexplicable supernatural powers?" Tian Qi was extremely depressed, and the information brought back by the sentry made them all confused. It seems to use some equipment to walk on the snow like flying.

"There's only one battle left!" Zhang Aimin gritted his teeth and said, "Since the opponent's assault was only two battalions of more than ten thousand soldiers, and they didn't bring luggage and a large number of long-range weapons, we turned around and fought fiercely. Hit him once, and you will get unexpected results!"

Tian Qi stared at the map in front of him, seeing the imprints that were getting closer and closer, and his heart was really moved.

"No!" Qu Yongjie categorically denied it.

"Your Majesty, since the opponent can walk like flying on the snow with this kind of equipment, it means that it is extremely labor-saving. Walking dozens of miles a day does not consume much energy. If we hadn't started the fight, we would have been exhausted, and if we were to deal with the tiger and wolf army with exhausted soldiers, even if the opponent had only ten thousand men, we would have no chance to fight, and instead we would lose soldiers and morale in vain."

"Furthermore, with the speed of the opponent, it must be quite fast to transfer. If they don't confront me head-on, but drag our counterattack army around, pull apart our army's connection, and then use their speed to intersperse and encircle , Breaking through one by one, our army moves slowly, and the rescue is not in time, so the loss of troops is certain."

Tianqi broke the charcoal pencil in his hand vigorously, Qu Yongjie said it well, although the forwards of the Dingzhou Army were buzzing around him like annoying flies, but he really couldn't turn around and slap him, And as long as he is stable, the opponent's troops will not have the guts to defend his army.I'm afraid the opponent is also playing this attention.

"General Qu is right. We don't have to pay attention to it. We follow our own pace and go our own way. The rear army pays attention to strengthening defenses. If the enemy troops attack, they only need to stick to the spot and not fight back." Tian Qi said.

"Your Majesty, even so, the arrival of the enemy's vanguard will inevitably slow down our marching speed, and our previous plan has to be changed." Qu Yongjie said.

"Yeah, I have to change. It seems that we still have to fight head-to-head with Li Qing after all. Yongjie, we have the right to choose the battlefield. Tell me, where is this last battle?" Tian Qi said.

Qu Yongjie said without hesitation: "Of course it is Qinzhou City. Qinzhou City is high and strong. It only needs [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to guard it, and it can firmly strangle the enemy's neck and put the enemy in a dilemma. Withdraw into Xingzhou."

Tian Qi smiled and said: "Yes, a few days ago, I sent an order to retreat to Qiu Zhi's Department in Qinzhou in advance, and immediately repaired the city wall and built the outer defense line. Under the Qinzhou city, we will see how powerful Li Qing's Dingzhou soldiers are!"

"That's right. Although the snowstorm is not good for us, it is even more bad for Li Qing. His Dingzhou iron cavalry is useless."

"I can't say for sure. If God stops snowing and blows the north wind for a few days, the snow will be as frozen as a stone, and the Dingzhou cavalry can still be used. We can guard against this." Zhou Tong was worried. "Also, Your Majesty, General Qiu withdrew to Qinzhou. If the Southern Army is also attracted to the city of Qinzhou, what should we do?"

Tian Qi sneered, "King Ning is an idiot, how could he do such a thing to take chestnuts for Li Qinghuo. He is now in a hurry to end this war, so that he can go back and run the three states of Liao, Shen and Shun well What! The trio has been established, but his southern army is the weakest. He knows well that if he does not strengthen his strength, he will be swallowed up at any time. Maybe he is still looking forward to a big fight between us and Li Qing field?"

Qu Yongjie smiled and said: "He is smart, we are not stupid, and Li Qing is not stupid. Li Qing's goal at most is to win Qinzhou, and he also knows that if he moves forward, he will definitely encounter our desperate attack. Li Qing will never do such a thing that harms others and benefits himself."

Zhou Tong lowered his head depressedly, and said no more. The Qinzhou that Li Qing wanted to take was his own territory. After this battle, Qinzhou changed his surname to Li, and he wanted to take it back again, but he didn't know when and what month it would be. Since then, I have been reduced to a rootless duckweed, tied tightly to the chariot of the apocalypse, and I don't have much autonomy anymore. In this regard, Zhang Aimin is much better than himself .After resting his Minzhou soldiers, Tianqi generously gave him another [-] Imperial Forest Army. He has already prepared to divide his troops in Minzhou. Li Qing basically has no garrisons in Minzhou. Taking Minzhou back is a certainty. Zhang Aimin has been in Minzhou for many years. With the foundation of the business, it didn't take long before they returned to form a powerful Minzhou army.

Guan Xinglong led the Tianlei Battalion and the Hengdao Battalion, which had already been decorated with Tianqi's rear army, but the opponent's army was well-organized and defended the camp, which made them sigh. They had no long-range weapons and no cavalry to assist in the attack. They only carried sidearms. The infantry has no confidence to break through a well-defended camp.

The Tianlei Battalion is known as the number one infantry in Dingzhou, and the current battalion commander, Lei must be gearing up, salivating to Guan Xinglong: "General Guan, give him a vote, these Chaoyan brats are worthy of a blow from us."

Wang Peng was also eager to try, "General, Tianlei Camp and Hengdao Camp are the elite of our Dingzhou Army, why don't you give it a try?"

Guan Xinglong caressed his slightly sore broken arm, shook his head and said: "No, because we are the elite, if we don't fight, we will win. If we fight, we will win. Otherwise, it will deal a blow to the confidence of the soldiers. In the current situation, Our strong attack is the next strategy, and I will not fight such an uncertain battle with Dingzhou's elite."

"Then watch our opponents retreating swaggeringly under our noses? General, this is not far from Qinzhou City, let them retreat into Qinzhou City, we will have no chance!" Lei must be anxious.

Guan Xinglong smiled slightly, "The commander-in-chief asked us to stick with them, but he just made it difficult for them to go so smoothly. The commander-in-chief predicted that there would be a fierce battle under the city of Qinzhou. Our purpose is to make them panic as much as possible. In Dingzhou There is not much time to arrange, but well, we finally arrived here, and it is indeed unreasonable not to fight, but it is not now."

"What time is that?" Wang Peng asked impatiently.

Guan Xinglong opened the tent and said leisurely: "Didn't you realize that the north wind is more urgent tonight? The snow seeds are falling again. There will be another heavy snow tomorrow. In the heavy snow, the vision is blurred. Maintaining such a tight lineup, tens of thousands of troops, as long as they have a distance of several miles between each other, under this kind of heavy snow weather, there will be enough time for us to have meat!"

Lei's eyes must have brightened: "That's right, as long as they pull a few miles away, we can use our speed, slot in, detour, cut off, and destroy some of them."

Guan Xinglong laughed loudly, turned around, and said to the second general: "Send more spies to find out the retreat order of the opponent's rear army, while we prepare our troops, ready to pounce on the opponent at any time, I will fight a chaotic battle."

"Chaos?" Lei must and Wang Peng looked at each other, wondering what Guan Xinglong meant.

The next day, as Guan Xinglong said, a heavy snowstorm swept across the ground, and within a few meters, the vision was already blurred.Seeing that the weather was so bad, Lei must and Wang Peng couldn't help gasping for air despite their bravery, but Guan Xinglong was overjoyed, "Wonderful, wonderful!"
