Chapter 546: The agency is too smart

  Chapter 546 Too smart to calculate all the organs

  Tuoba Chici sat on the bank of the Yellow River with a gloomy face, watching the clansmen who fled back from the north.

  Out of the eight hundred forwards, only four escaped. Tuoba Dun, known as the Black Yak, used to be Tuoba Chici's personal soldier. He lost one arm and was wrapped in a cloth indiscriminately. It was dyed black long ago. His three young sons were also wounded in many places. They were in a panic and panic.

"General Sitou and General Xigan were both captured. We escaped by jumping into the Yellow River. We hid under the grass on the bank of the river and did not dare to show up. We saw with our own eyes that the Tang people killed all of our people. The first The level piled up into a mountain, and all the headless corpses were thrown into the Yellow River, dyeing the clear water of the Yellow River into a red river..."

  Tuoba Chici's face became more and more gloomy, and the anger in his heart became more and more full.

  They were deceived by the Tang people.

  That stupid thought, I shouldn't have listened to his persuasion at the beginning, I was thinking of forming an alliance with Li Daoyan, at least it could delay some time to buffer, who knew that the Tang people would be so shameless.

   "Are they still there?"

   "How many people are there?"

   "Are Sitou and Xigan dead?"

  Three questions in a row, Chi Ci gritted his teeth.

  Old Hei Yak hurriedly said that Xigan and Sitou had been captured but not killed. There were quite a few Tang people, more than ten thousand.

   "We soaked in the river until dark before fleeing quietly. At that time, the Tang people were still there. They obviously wanted to ambush you, the patriarch."

   Chi Ci drew out his knife and drew a simple map on the ground based on the news from the old black yak. ​​Chi Ci knew this place like the back of his hand.

  He is very clear about where the Tang people are now. It is indeed a good place to ambush. To the west is the Yellow River, and there are no grasslands in the north and south. There is only a not-so-high mountain forest to the east of the Yellow River.

   Guard the narrow place that must pass, and ambush the soldiers and horses in the mountains and forests.

   "These **** Tang people."

   Chi Ci recruited his generals, pointed at the simple map with a knife and made deployments.

  The team continues to set off.

  ······

   Afternoon.

  The troops of the Tuoba tribe came slowly and appeared in Tang Jun's sight.

  Jiuqie Luosheng personally reported to Li Daoyan.

   "Captain, Tuobachi has resigned. We have already seen his banner. There are not many people coming, only about 3,000 riders, which is similar to Sitou and the others."

   "The opportunity has come." Jiuqi Luosheng said excitedly.

   Li Daoyan didn't change much on the surface, but he was extremely excited in his heart.

   "Did they spot us?"

   "Looking at their appearance, they have never noticed it, and they are completely defenseless."

   "That's good, that's good, let everyone cheer up, don't have to capture Tuoba Chici, if you can't capture him alive, kill him, and never let him run away." Li Daoyan repeatedly explained.

   "Please rest assured, the governor. There are only three thousand horses. We have more than 10,000 horses. We will wait for work at leisure. If we lay in ambush and attack, we will definitely wipe out the Qiang bandits."

  The Qiang people came slowly, without even dispatching a forward scout.

  Li Daoyan hid behind a tree, staring at the Qiang people, looking for Tuoba Chici's flag and his figure. "You deserve to be defeated. You actually underestimated the enemy so carelessly that you didn't send a single scout." He was a little proud. His plan for this cross-border sneak attack seemed really good.

If the alliance was held on the border of Taozhou, the Qiang people would definitely be more on the defensive, but now they have crossed the territory of the Tuyuhun people and ran into the territory of the Tangxiang people. This is absolutely unexpected for them. They thought they were marching in their own territory, so they swaggered , defenseless.

Once Tuoba Chici died, if the thousands of people in the Tuoba tribe were wiped out, then the Tuoba tribe would have no strength, and the entire party would not be worth mentioning. He brought more than 10,000 people here this time, almost All the soldiers and horses from the Mintao states were brought.

  Before he came, he purposely kept it secret and didn't reveal any news. In fact, he mainly guarded against Qin Lang from Diezhou, lest he come to steal credit.

  The last time he reinforced Diezhou, he returned without success. This time, he must monopolize the great achievement of exterminating the Qiang.

  He believes that the battle will end soon, as simple as the eight hundred cavalry who attacked and wiped out Sitou and the others earlier.

   More than 10,000 vs. 3,000, he is five times that of the Qiang people. He does mental calculations but doesn't care. There is no need to think about this battle. Even a fool can win it.

   Regarding the war, Li Daoyan handed it over to Taozhou Governor Jiuqie Luosheng.

  Jiuqiu Luosheng, as a Xianbei general, has rich experience in fighting and is absolutely not picky. Just like yesterday's battle, he was clean and beautiful without messing around, and he did not let anyone go.

  Li Daoyan just needs to sit in the woods and wait quietly. It won't be long before he can go out and enjoy his victory again.

  He didn't even ride a horse, and he didn't even put on his armor.

  The heavy armor on his body really made him a little uncomfortable. Anyway, he didn't need to take action in this battle.

  The Qiang people are slowly approaching, not knowing that they have entered the ambush circle.

   They know nothing about death.

  The horn sounded suddenly, passionate and high-pitched.

  For a long time, Luo Sheng took the lead and got out of the forest first.

  In the forest beside the road, dense arrows gushed out like locusts, and the archers were covering the cavalry.

   Arrows rain down.

  Jiuqie Luosheng led the cavalry to fight out, trying to cut the three thousand Qiang people into several pieces, just like they had ambushed the eight hundred Qiang people before.

   Raid, cut, surround, slaughter, and triumph.

  Jiu Qie Luo Sheng is very brave, wearing bright light armor, holding a black lacquer lance, behind him is a standard bearer holding up the general flag, two brave standard bearers follow the guards, and his bodyguards follow closely.

  He shouted loudly, and looked at the Qiang people in front of him with some pride.

   They should be terrified and caught off guard, right?

   is near.

  Jiuqie Luosheng unexpectedly discovered that the Qiang people on the opposite side did not seem to be panicked or chaotic.

How is this going?

  Maybe Tuoba Chici is more fierce, and the soldiers under his hands are also tougher?

  Thinking like this, Jiuji Luosheng's charge did not stop, but accelerated again.

   No matter how hard it is, how hard can it be? Being ambushed and attacked, there is no time to react and defend. You can only watch them rampage, cut them into several pieces, and then divide and surround them.

   Tang Qi continued to charge.

  The Qiang people did not flee in all directions, nor did they panic.

  They watched them charge quietly, methodically and unhurriedly.

  The Qiang people turned around and they started to run away.

  Jiuqiu saw this scene, and Luo Sheng became more and more proud?

  Although the calmness of the Qiang people surprised him, didn't they run away?

"Chase!"

Qiangqi's reaction surprised Jiuqie Luosheng. They ran very fast, but they didn't panic when they met Tangqi. They completed the U-turn very calmly and quickly. The 3,000 troops turned around in an orderly manner without any confusion head ran.

  For a long time, Luo Sheng led his cavalry in hot pursuit.

  Thousands of Tang cavalry chased further and further, and the more than 10,000 infantry behind were pulled away and stayed in place.

   Li Daoyan frowned a little in the face of the report from the soldiers, why things were different from what was expected.

"Chase!"

   Li Daoyan finally gave the order to pursue.

  More than 10,000 infantrymen came out of the mountains and forests, clad in armor, carrying bows, crossbows, knives and guns, striding forward with both legs to pursue.

  Thousands of auxiliary soldiers followed Li Daoyan and stayed in place, responsible for guarding food and grass.

   "We must catch up with the Qiang people, and we cannot let them escape." Li Daoyan told his soldiers to pass on orders to Jiuqie Luosheng.

  How can the meat that reaches the mouth be released?

  Three thousand Qiang cavalry fled at a gallop, the Tang people pursued closely, the infantry and cavalry pulled farther and farther, and the auxiliary soldiers were left far away.

   In the blink of an eye, the two armies that were chasing and fleeing had disappeared into the distance, leaving only the sound from the sky.

  Li Daoyan walked around a little restlessly.

  Suddenly, there was a violent vibration, like a sudden thunder, but it came from the north.

   Li Daoyan turned his head to look in surprise, a black shadow appeared from the direction they came from.

  Tyuhun people or Tang army in Diezhou?

  Just as he was still guessing, the team had already rushed a little closer, and the banner appeared.

   "Qiang people are party members."

   "Tuoba Qiang people."

   An auxiliary soldier exclaimed.

  These auxiliary soldiers were only summoned by the township soldiers from the Mintao states. They were responsible for leading mules and horses to transport food, grass and military equipment that accompanied the army.

   Li Daoyan also panicked.

  How could there be Tuoba Qiang people coming from their north?

  He was in a daze, unable to figure it out.

  A member of the military saw this, and hurriedly shouted, "This must be a fish that escaped yesterday and reported to Tuoba Chici. The Qiang bandit sent Qingqi to the north of us, and we were fooled."

   "Impossible!" Li Daoyan refused to believe it.

"After the battle yesterday, I found that the number of beheadings was wrong. There was no level 800, and dozens of people were missing. However, the governor said that some Qiang people died and fell into the water and washed away. At that time, someone must have jumped into the river and escaped. .”

Another member of the army complained, "I said a long time ago that we should let go of Tuoba Sitou's 800 forwards first, and just focus on Tuoba Chici. Now it's all right, greedy for those thousands of bastards, but It’s because we’ve already frightened the snake, the gains outweigh the losses, and now we’re being tricked by Tuoba.”

   Li Daoyan stood there, still refusing to admit this fact.

  Thousands of auxiliary soldiers watched the Qiang cavalry getting closer and closer, but they didn't get orders, so some organized defense, and some started to turn around and run away.

   Soon, more and more auxiliary soldiers escaped.

  By the time the 2,000 Qiang cavalry approached, not a few hundred of Li Daoyan's 3,000 auxiliary soldiers had fled.

  The three thousand auxiliary soldiers collapsed at the first touch and fled in all directions.

  No one commanded, no chariot formations or camps that could withstand the attack of Qiang cavalry, and the auxiliary soldiers with only simple weapons had no fighting spirit and fled in all directions.

  After the Qiang cavalry broke up the auxiliary soldiers, they sent out a part to continue to charge and kill the broken auxiliary soldiers, and most of the rest continued to charge south, but they went to stab the main force of the Tang army in the back.

   It's over! Li Daoyan thought to himself.

   "Quickly inform Governor Jiuqi, and tell him to watch out for Qiangqi behind his back!"

The soldiers took Li Daoyan and fled in panic. The experienced soldiers already knew the result. Under the front and back attack, Jiuqie Luosheng would never be able to hold on. , under the attack of five thousand Qiang cavalry, they will be defeated for a long time.

   "Hurry up, go east, to Diezhou!" a soldier shouted.

   I can't wait for a long time and Luo Sheng is born, so it's important to run for your life first, and you can only flee eastward, and seek asylum from Qin Lang, the governor of Diezhou.

Tens of thousands of infantrymen from the Tang Army in the Minzhou Governor's Mansion are running after Huan, but human legs are no better than four legs of a horse. The more they chase the Qiang people, the farther they run, and the farther and farther they are from Tang Qi, and finally they are all gone. .

  The infantry ran out of formation, panting and sweating, when suddenly many Qiang cavalry rushed out from behind like wolves and tigers.

   On the plain by the Yellow River, Tang army infantry scattered like cattle and sheep, facing the Qiang cavalry who suddenly charged from behind, it was too late to gather into formation.

   Qiang cavalry approached like the wind, rampaging, slashing left and stabbing right, Tang Jun soon couldn't resist the collapse and scattered. The Qiang people still stayed behind and drove the defeated Tang army in all directions, and then most of them continued to gallop south to pursue them.

  In a meadow on the bank of the Yellow River, Tuoba Chi stopped the horse and turned the horse's head.

  Three thousand Qiang riders also turned around.

  Jiuqie Luosheng was about to say that the Qiang people finally had nowhere to escape, but unexpectedly, a Qiang cavalry appeared behind him.

  The tens of thousands of infantry who should have followed behind were gone, but a thousand-strong Qiang cavalry emerged.

   After a long time, Luo Sheng's complexion changed drastically.

  Tuoba Chici had already raised his saber, and led three thousand angry Qiang cavalry in a desperate charge.

  Thousands of cavalrymen started a cavalry duel on the bank of the Yellow River, but after a long time, Luo Sheng could no longer laugh. The Tang army, which was originally in absolute advantage, is now caught between two sides, with neither a numerical advantage nor a morale advantage.

  The Qiang cavalry behind them even made the Tang cavalry flustered.

   A **** battle, long and Luo Sheng rushed several times, seeing Qiang cavalry appearing continuously behind him, but no Tang army arrived, he already guessed what happened.

  The morale of the Tang army was low, and there was no fighting spirit. Many Tang cavalry began to leave the battlefield and fled in all directions.

  Recovery fatigue.

  For a long time, Luo Sheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and order the whole army to break through to the north, trying to join the infantry.

  They charged desperately, finally tore open a hole, ignored the bite of the Qiang people and rushed northward, finally fled back to the ambush, but only saw groups of Qiang cavalry chasing the defeated defeated soldiers all over the mountains and plains.

   Li Daoyan was nowhere to be seen, and the auxiliary barracks were completely dismantled.

  Jiusheng Luosheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

   Qiang cavalry came after him again.

   "Let's go!" For a long time, Luo Sheng didn't dare to fight, and he didn't care about the scattered infantry and auxiliary soldiers, so he had to take the defeated cavalry and continue to break through to the north, trying to escape back to Taozhou by the same route.

  ······

  Sunset and dusk.

  On the banks of the Yellow River, the corpses of Tang soldiers were everywhere, the flags were broken, and the soldiers fell down.

  Qiang cavalry are reaping the fruits of victory. They drive teams of captives together, and many Qiang cavalry are beheading.

   Make up for the seriously injured Tang Bing, and then cut off his head.

  Some people were turning over the corpses and searching for loot. Tang Bing's armor, valuables in his arms, and even the boots on the soles of his feet were all taken off by them.

  The Qiang warriors harvested with smiles, satisfied with the capture.

  Tuoba Chici was sitting by the river, washing the blood off his body.

   Several soldiers were reporting to Tuoba Chici.

   In this battle, Tuoba Chici finally made a comeback.

  He led 5,000 Qingqi, and after receiving the timely report from the old black yak, he did not retreat. Instead, he decisively sent his son to take 2,000 Qingqi to detour north.

  When Tang Jun wanted to ambush him again, Tuoba Chici, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately turned around and left with three thousand Qingqi.

   There were not many cavalry in the more than 10,000 Tang army. When the more elite cavalry was lured away from the battlefield by him and the infantry was dispersed, the Tang army actually had no advantage at all. In the end, he was pinched on both sides and defeated one by one.

   "Did you find Li Daoyan and Jiuqie Luosheng?"

   "It seems that Li Daoyan fled to Diezhou with some defeated soldiers, and Jiuqie Luosheng fled to Taozhou with some defeated cavalry."

  Tuoba Chici wiped off the blood on his face, "It's quick to escape."

  Thinking for a while, "Leave a part of the troops to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the troops will be divided into two groups, all the way to pursue Jiuqie Luosheng, and part of them will follow me to pursue Li Daoyan. He cannot escape to Diezhou."

   Li Daoyan must be killed.
