Chapter 1170 As Long as I Am Timid Enough, I Will Not Be Defeated! Why Do the Barbarians Surround Our Army!
Zhao Jiang did send troops to hunt down Dayar as Baoler expected!
But what shocked Baoler was that Zhao Jiang only sent out 1,000 Qin soldiers, and these 1,000 Qin soldiers dismounted and then formed into the smallest unit of the five-level battle formation to cover each other's advance.
They were too lazy to even run, let alone charge!
What shocked Baoler even more was that Zhao Jiang not only sent 1,000 soldiers to hunt down Dayar, but also sent another 1,000 soldiers to scout everywhere.
Baoler was dumbfounded!
The number of troops chasing the enemy was the same as the number of scouts scattered around for scouts?
Is this the southerner's military strategy? This general has really learned a lot!
Di Dao was completely convinced.
He knew very well that the Dayar tribe was running wildly, but Zhao Jiang not only ordered the Didao tribe to dismount, but also ordered the Didao tribe to chase in formation. If the Didao tribe could catch up with the Dayar tribe, it would be a miracle. Looking at the strength of both sides, even if the Didao tribe caught up with the Dayar tribe, it would be powerless to annihilate the Dayar tribe. It can be seen that Zhao Jiang never thought of annihilating the Dayar tribe!
As a subordinate, Didao couldn't understand why Zhao Jiang was so cowardly, but Didao could only do things according to the leader's wishes, so the speed of the Didao tribe was only slightly faster than walking.
But while walking, Didao's peripheral vision suddenly caught a discordant brown!
"Stop!"
Didao shouted and immediately led a hundred Qin soldiers to run towards the brown.
Using a sword to sweep away the weeds, a hemp rope suddenly appeared in front of Didao!
Didao hurriedly accelerated his sword swing and finally found the knot tied to the tree trunk along the hemp rope!
Instantly, Di Dao's heart trembled violently, and his eyes subconsciously looked around, his face pale.
Di Dao was sure that this was definitely not the only remaining hemp rope, and similar ropes must be scattered in the nearby grass.
Di Dao could fully imagine that if Zhao Jiang had not let Di Dao's troops chase the enemy on foot, but galloped on horseback to kill the thousand enemy soldiers, then Di Dao's horses would definitely be tripped by the rope, and Di Dao's soldiers would fall off their horses one after another, and then be annihilated by the rushing Hu army!
Di Dao used all his strength to cut the hemp rope in front of him with a sword, and shouted: "Report to the captain immediately!"
"My troops found a tripwire here. I suspect that the enemy's detachment is nearby and has set up a large number of traps and ambushes around. Please be cautious, captain. I will wait for the captain's order here!"
"Order my troops to move closer to me immediately and prepare for battle!"
Seeing from afar that Di Dao's troops gathered their troops on the spot and stopped pursuing, Bao Le knew that his trap had been exposed and his tactics had been completely broken!
Bao Le'er felt a little regretful, but this test also made Bao Le'er find out Zhao Jiang's character, and he decisively ordered: "Order! Set up traps and tripwires along the way to confuse the enemy!"
"All units of our army retreat slowly under the cover of trees and grass, and all units pay attention to concealment and must not be detected by the Qin army."
"Report the situation here to the Chanyu, and send a message to Cheng Ge Le. The Qin army's vanguard is cowardly and cautious, and it may be difficult to get close to the Chanyu in a short time. The Chanyu is safe. Please ask Cheng Ge Le's troops to rush here quickly and cooperate with our troops to attack the Qin army!"
Zhao Jiang's cautiousness and conservatism made it difficult for Zhao Jiang's troops to fall into traps and ambushes.
But war has never been a matter of seeking stability.
If it is too stable, not only will it miss the opportunity to severely damage the enemy, but it will also give the enemy sufficient opportunities to arrange the battlefield and adjust the troops, and finally form a killing situation that cannot be stabilized no matter how stable it is!
——
The complex environment in Jin'arin restricted the speed and vision of the scouts, and also made it more difficult for the generals to see the overall situation and obtain accurate military reports.
Listening to the intelligence brought back by the messengers and scouts of various units, Li Mu's brain was working at high speed, and his eyes scanned back and forth on the Kunyu map.
"Report! The scouts under the command of Captain Qiang Huai greet General Li! Our troops have chased the Xiongnu Chenggele tribe here, about 70 miles away from General Li's troops, and are continuing to rush north! I am investigating the whereabouts of Chenggele tribe along the way!"
"Report! The messenger under the command of Captain Yang Hu greets General Li! Our troops have chased the Xiongnu Lakshan tribe here, about 30 miles away from General Li's troops, and are continuing to chase the Lakshan tribe southward. Our troops have 9,762 soldiers, and the Lakshan tribe has about 36,000 soldiers. Our troops have received the order of the commander-in-chief. If General Li needs it, our troops can be temporarily under the command of General Li! Our troops have found the Kunyu map here, please read it, General Li!"
The two Qin troops that sneaked into the Jin'alin Mountains to intercept and pursue the Hu army at the beginning of the battle sent intelligence to Li Mu one after another, and they lit up a large area of the map for the generals of Li Mu's troops like two spy satellites.
Li Xian looked at the Kunyu map and frowned slightly, saying: "According to the friendly generals, this Lak Shen seems to be heading southeast of the main force of the Xiongnu, and Chenggele's army is leading more than 30,000 troops to join the main force of the Xiongnu!"
"Brother Zhong, Duwei Hong and other three Duwei's troops are just between Chenggele and the main force of the Xiongnu!"
"General, do you want to order Duwei Hong to lead his troops to retreat, and at the same time send our troops to lead Duwei Hong's three troops to withdraw from Jin Alin?"
The more Li Xian looked, the more he felt that Li Hong's troops were surrounded by the Xiongnu!
Li Xian didn't want his brother to die in the battle of the Hu bandits!
Li Mu was not burdened by emotions, but calmly and rationally sorted out the chaotic battle situation.
The strength of Li Mu's troops had been explored by the Xiongnu, and Touman Chanyu should know that the strength of Li Mu's troops was slightly higher than that of the Xiongnu, and they were not far away. The two divisions of Qiang Huai and Yang Hu and the main force of the Qin army were all within a range of 150 miles, and they could arrive at the battlefield to complete the rescue in one day at most.
It is almost impossible for the Touman Chanyu to complete the annihilation of Li Hong's three tribes in one day. If the Touman Chanyu really encircled and annihilated Li Hong's three tribes, this encounter would inevitably turn into a decisive battle.
Did Touman Shanyu have the will to launch a decisive battle with the Qin army in the Jin Alin Mountains at this stage?
Obviously not.
Ying Chengqi has already analyzed the strategy of Touman Shanyu, that is to drag it out!
Drag until the time that was beneficial to the Huns came, and then drive away the Qin army without any effort!
Through analysis of this battle, Li Mu also believed that the Touman Shanyu could not choose to start the decisive battle at this moment.
In this case, the possibility that Li Hong’s three tribes were surrounded by the main force of the Huns did not exist!
Li Mu immediately focused his main attention on the Lak Extension running eastward.
Why did this army run eastward to the main force of the Huns?
After pondering for a few breaths, Li Mu spoke in a deep voice: "Tell the commander Zhao Jiang and the commander Ma Chong to obey the commander Li Hong's order."
"The commander Li Hong to continue to march towards the main force of the Huns, and make an attitude of pursuing the Huns. Pay attention to the favorable terrain suitable for defending. Once a large number of enemy troops are found, immediately form a formation to defend the favorable terrain and prepare for a long-term battle. .”
"The commander Xu Kuo will lead the defenders on the front line of Fenghuang Mountain to conduct scattered reconnaissance and prepare for siege. If they encounter Hu thieves, they will immediately expand the general and bite the tail of the Huns to death!"
"Transfer all the military reports of our troops to the head coach, please make a decision."
"Our troops head south immediately!"
Li Xian looked at Li Mu in confusion, but his hands subconsciously arched: "Yi!"
On the other side of the battlefield, when Li Hong heard Li Mu's order, Li Hong was also confused. However, Li Hong was like Li Xian. Although he scoffed at Li Mu's level of struggle in the court, he was willing to trust Li Mu unconditionally Strategic arrangement.
Li Hong immediately shouted: "Terminister Zhao Jiang as the front and Tiger Ma Chong as the rear. Keep the current speed and continue to move southeastward, and send additional scouts to explore the surrounding geographical location."
"The elite troops of all divisions are stored in the central part to keep them as a new force and prepare for a big battle!"
Li Hong made adjustments according to Li Mu's order, but as long as the front vanguard was still Zhao Jiang, the speed of Li Hong's three divisions had not changed much.
In Baole's view, Li Hong's three tribes still kept moving slowly as slowly as a turtle climb.
Hearing the Chenggele division's messenger's message, Baole smiled proudly: "Since the beginning of this battle, my bearded warriors have been beaten by Qin dogs."
"Today, it's finally time for my big Hu Warrior to drink blood!"
As he turned over the horse, Baole pointed at Zhao Jiang in his hand and shouted angrily: "Soldiers, surround the Qin dog!"
"Use the blood of Qin dogs to sacrifice to the heaven of immortality!"
The two big Dayaer who had been tricked by Zhao Jiang couldn't wait to roar to the sky: "Yohoohohohohohoho~ Kill!!!"
The war horse stepped out of its four hooves, carrying Dayal to the Qin army first.
But when he was thirty feet away from Zhao Jiang's army, Dayal tied the reins and avoided the front of Zhao Jiang's army, and drifted across the northeast side of Zhao Jiang's army. At the same time, he pulled the bow and arrow, aimed at Didao and sent it out. A arrow full of affection!
Zhao Jiang hurriedly ordered: "Each unit forms its own formation! Shield soldiers live outside, and archers live behind the shield soldiers, and kill the enemy with arrows!"
Thousands of Hu cavalry rode their war horses and whizzed like strong winds passing by, and continuously projected arrows in their hands.
Fortunately, Zhao Jiang's troops have changed into new armor and have a copper square shield as a basis. Although they were a little scared, there were no casualties.
At the same time, the Chenggele tribe has also arrived at the battlefield.
More than 30,000 Hu cavalry rushed towards us from the southwest like locusts passing through. Li Hong's eyes showed a bit of ferocious murderous intent, and he shouted loudly: "How dare more than 30,000 Hu cavalry attack our army first? The Hu thieves thought our army was Is the sword unfavorable? ! ”
"The horses and horses are on their horses, and the scattered soldiers are accompanying us within fifty feet of our army. If any thief dares to approach our army within fifty feet, they will rush to kill them! But remember, you must not leave our army a hundred feet away. Don't fight in love! ”
"Our army dismounted! The geese-shaped formation advanced, and raised the spear for me and aimed at the enemy's war horses."
"Any Hu thief who enters the formation, first stab his horse and then his soldiers!"
"I will destroy this Hu thief here! I will earn enough credit for being a noble man from Qin!"
The Qin soldiers of Li Hong and Ma Chong roared together: "Kill!!!"
Hearing the sound of the Qin soldiers shouting and killing from afar, Touman Shanyu looked at the battlefield with deep eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "After half an hour, the ten thousand men's eldest son Baole, the ten thousand men's eldest son, the ten thousand men's eldest son, the ten thousand men's eldest son, the ten thousand men's eldest son, the ten thousand men's eldest son, the ten thousand men's eldest son, the He ordered the two troops to use the mountains and forests to escape the pursuit of the Qin army, and went west to the Jin Alin Mountains to find the original Shanyu to join forces. "
"Immediately send a command to Lak to the end of his body, and then move forward thirty miles eastward, and then move northward to clear the way north for our Shanyu!"
