Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 363: Flesh Mill

Hearing the Khitan Youli king Yelvqi said that he came up with a way to decipher the infantry battle formation of the Ya'an Army. Mu Gulu immediately said: "The method that the leader of Yelvqi has thought of must work. We Rouran clan The warriors are willing to give it a try."

The method of the Khitan’s rightli king Yelvqi is to follow the diagonal direction and attack the two front corners from the side of the infantry battle formation, because the number of people at the corners is not enough to form a superior force. Once the chaos, the infantry phalanx will inevitably be It is not impossible to cause chaos and the entire infantry battle formation to collapse immediately.

In the face of Yelvqi's tactics, the speed of the infantry phalanx to adjust its direction will not be faster than that of the cavalry, and it is easy to be caught by the cavalry in the process of transformation, and die faster.

Next, the Rouran tribe divided the three 10,000-person teams into three units according to Yelvqi’s method. One 10,000-person team continued to contain them from the front, and the other two 10,000-person teams chose to start from the front of the Da'an Army infantry battle line. The two corners spread out.

However, when the three Rouran ten-thousand teams charged, they all rushed to the front of the Daan Army infantry battle formation at the beginning, but they were about a hundred and fifty-five from the battle formation formed by the two infantry battalions Le Yi and Gaoshun. At ten paces, the two ten thousand teams on the left and right sides suddenly separated from the middle ten thousand teams, circled a half arc, and directly launched an assault on the two corners in front of the diagonal of the infantry battle formation.

Not to mention that Yelvqi’s method really caught the two infantry battalions Le Yi and Gaoshun by surprise. The battle formations of the two infantry battalions did not have time to adjust the formation. The infantry soldiers at the two corners of the front diagonal of the battle formation were very difficult. Soon the formation was disrupted under the fierce attack of the Rouran cavalry.

If at this time a large number of Rouran cavalry took advantage of the gap between the two corners of the diagonal to enter the entire battle formation, then the battle formation composed of the two infantry battalions Le Yi and Gao Shun would completely collapse, and there would be no more. The infantry in the battlefield was simply unable to resist the cavalry, and only the slaughter was left.

At the critical moment, thanks to the soldiers of the two infantry battalions, Le Yi and Gao Shun, they gave up their lives and forgot to block the gap in the two corners. The Rouran cavalry did not expand the gap in the battle formation, plus Zhou Kai. The cavalry battalion attacked in time, helping to repel the two cavalry battalions Rouran, and finally relieved the crisis of the two infantry battalions Le Yi and Gaoshun.

Yelvqi, the King of Khitan Youli, saw that a cavalry of the Da'an army was dispatched, and immediately asked the Shatuo and Dingling tribes to send out 20,000 cavalry, preparing to leave the cavalry unit of the Da'an army on the battlefield. Kai, the cavalry battalion, quickly retreated to the back of the six infantry battalions after resolving the crisis of the two infantry battalions Le Yi and Gaoshun.

The 40,000 cavalrymen of the Shatuo and Dingling tribes chased the cavalry battalion Zhou Kai from left to right, and rushed to the back of the six infantry battalions of the Da'an Army.

At this time, Liu Ji had already taken many generals and puppet bodyguards and withdrew to the back of the six infantry battalions. He saw tens of thousands of cavalry from the Shatuo and Dingling tribes chasing from both sides of the three huge infantry battle formations. Liu Ji immediately ordered the four cavalry battalions Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, Hua Xiong, and Li Wenzhong to attack all the tens of thousands of Hu cavalry.

At the same time, Liu Ji also ordered the two infantry battalions of Li Xin and Mengwu to move to both sides, preparing to intercept the retreat of these tens of thousands of Hu cavalry.

The Khitan Youli king Yelvqi quickly saw Liu Ji's intention to eat the 40,000 cavalrymen of the Shatuo and Dingling tribes, and immediately mobilized nearly 100,000 cavalrymen from several tribes and rushed to the opposite Daan army.

Because of the joining of nearly 100,000 Hu people cavalry, Liu Ji's idea of ​​eating the 40,000 cavalrymen of the Shatuo and Dingling tribes did not come true. However, the four cavalry battalions of Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, Hua Xiong and Li Wenzhong also failed. It caused no small casualties to the Hu people's coalition forces.

The two sides displayed their own tricks, one defense and the other offensive, and they fought fiercely until the afternoon of May 2. The soldiers of both sides even had lunch on the battlefield.

In the end, it was Khitan Youli king Yelvqi who felt that there could be no more big gains today, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops. One day's battle has caused the total loss of nearly 60,000 cavalry of all races, but still has not defeated the first giant of the Da'an Army. In the infantry battle formation, Yeluqi prepared to discuss the next tactics with the great khan and kings of all races.

Seeing the dense prairie cavalry on the opposite side, it seemed that they had begun to return to the camp. Liu Datou and Zhang Minghui in the infantry battle formation were immediately relieved.

Under the impact of the Hu people's cavalry defying death, although the infantry battle formation composed of the two infantry battalions Le Yi and Gaoshun still maintained a solid formation, both infantry battalions suffered considerable losses.

Liu Datou was originally standing in the sixth row of the battle formation, and Zhang Minghui was standing in the seventh row. The two men held a long wooden gun together. When the Hu people's coalition army retreated, Liu Datou and Zhang Minghui returned. A long wooden gun was clamped together, but their positions in the battlefield became the second and third rows. Four soldiers had already died in front of this row.

"Brother, the Huren cavalry won't charge anymore, right?"

"The little lives of both of us are saved today. These prairie cavalry continue to rush over, and we both will be suspended!"

After the Khitan Youli king Yelvqi returned to the coalition camp, he immediately summoned the khan and the kings of the other nine tribes into his felt bag.

Yelvqi looked at the great sweats and kings of all races and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen it today, and the cavalry of all races also fought against the Da'an army. The fighting power of the Dajin Haohu Liu Ji under the Da'an army. No matter what, this king won’t say much here. Let’s take a closer look at how to defeat the main force of the Daan army here at Qishankou!"

Yelvqi discussed with the great khan and kings of the other nine tribes for a long time, but in the end they didn't work out a better strategy.

Originally, Yelvqi was going to send a partial army to detour into Qianzhou from other gorges in the Anxing Mountains in Qianzhou, and then take the Dajin Jiuhu’s lair into a Yincheng. However, Yelvqi’s idea was lost to others. The profuse sweat of several tribes was stopped.

The reason is that the cavalry of all races are not good at attacking the city. Even if Liu Ji leaves 10,000 in Chengyin City, 100,000 cavalry of all races may not be able to capture Chengyin City. What's more, Liu Ji has concentrated his main army here at Qishan Pass. , Which is equivalent to giving the coalition a chance to defeat the main force of the Da'an army in a field battle. At this time, the coalition should concentrate all its forces and take advantage of this opportunity to eat the main force of the Da'an army. Then Dajin Haohu has all the turf in Qianzhou of Jin State, But he completely opened his mind to the coalition forces.

Yelvqi considered it for a while, and accepted the opinions of several big khans, and gave up the idea of ​​sending a detour to attack Chengyin City. However, Yelvqi then asked Wu Heng, Loufan, Rouran, Donghu, Dangxiang, Shatuo and The Dingling seven tribes, as far as possible, transported more food and forage to the coalition camp. Yelvqi worried that the coalition would not be able to defeat the main force of the Daan army here in Qishankou in a short time. The territory of the Khitan, Bailuo and Limo tribes is far from here. Too far, to supplement the coalition forces can only rely on the seven clans in front.

After the six infantry battalions and four cavalry battalions fought by the Da'an Army returned to the base camp today, statistics show that today’s battle with the coalition forces of the 10 Hu people. The Daan Army’s infantry and cavalry lost a total of more than 10,000. Compared with the losses of the Hu people's coalition forces, it can be said to be a good start, and they have won a battle.

Facing the Hu People's coalition with more than 1.5 million troops, apart from the upright confrontation, Liu Ji and the generals can't think of a good way for the time being.

On May 3rd, Dajin 427, the Hu people’s coalition put more than 300,000 cavalry on the battlefield, and fought a **** battle with the eight infantry battalions and four cavalry battalions of the Da'an Army. When the two sides stopped fighting and retreated, the Hu people The coalition forces suffered nearly 60,000 casualties, and the Daan army lost more than 18,000 people.

As the leader of the Hu People’s coalition, Yelvqi, the King of the Khitan Youli, wanted to put in more troops to defeat the stubborn Tai'an Army with an overwhelming advantage. Unfortunately, the Tai'an Army took advantage of the terrain at Qishan Pass to set up an infantry battle formation. , So that the Hu people's coalition forces could not invest too much of the army at one time, even 300,000 Hu people's cavalry were also put into the battlefield in batches.

On May 4, Dajin 427, the Hu people coalition army still invested more than 300,000 cavalry on the battlefield, and the Da'an army invested nine infantry battalions and five cavalry battalions. In the end, the Hu people coalition army suffered about five casualties. Ten thousand people, and there were more than 14,000 casualties on the Daan Army's side.

On May 5th, 427, Dajin, the Hu people coalition suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and the Da'an Army suffered about 12,000 casualties.

In this way, the two sides fought fiercely for ten days at Qishankou. The Hu people's coalition forces, which had the advantage of force, still failed to defeat the Da'an army led by Liu Ji, and after ten days, the Hu people's coalition forces had dropped to one. One hundred and fourteen thousand, about four hundred and twenty thousand cavalry of various ethnic groups, either turned into corpses, or were seriously injured and could no longer continue fighting. Among them, 400,000 were killed.

The Da'an Army is not doing well here. In ten days of fierce fighting, 120,000 people have been killed and more than 30,000 wounded. Qishankou has become a flesh-and-blood mill.

On the night of May 10, in the camp of the Da'an Army north of Qishan Pass, Liu Datou came to the wounded camp where Zhang Minghui was located.

Zhang Minghui lay on the wool felt and saw Big Head Liu walk into the tent, with a hard smile on his face and said: "Brother Big Head, you are here, no, I should call you too long!"

The leader Liu Datou and Zhang Minghui where, as well as the two corps commanders, have been killed in battle. The courageous Liu Datou was appointed as the corps leader after the corps leader’s death. After his death in the battle. , Liu Datou was promoted to a great length again.

Liu Datou looked at the gauze wrapped around Zhang Minghui's right shoulder, and said with a sigh, "Brother Minghui, I'll call me Big Head Brother from now on! If you hadn't stopped the cut for me, Liu Datou would have already changed. Where can I be that long!"

Yesterday on the battlefield, the battle formation composed of Le Yi’s infantry battalion was madly attacked by the Khitan cavalry. If Zhang Minghui had not used his body to block Liu Datou with a knife, Liu Datou’s head would have been slashed by the Khitan cavalry. Up.

Liu Datou never dreamed that the timid Zhang Minghui would sacrifice his life to save himself, regardless of his own safety. From the moment Zhang Minghui rescued him, Liu Datou regarded Zhang Minghui as his own brother.

"I asked the doctor in the wounded barracks. There is nothing serious about the injury to your shoulder. Thanks to your strong armor, otherwise one of your arms will be gone with the cut. Now you only need to rest for ten and a half days. , I should be able to recover almost, I have already agreed with the team rate, when you return to the team from injury, you will be a squad leader under my hand, and the squad leader also has four taels of silver each month!" Datou Liu Said with a smile.

When Zhang Minghui heard this, he suddenly forgot the sharp pain in his shoulder, and asked with a bit of excitement: "Big head brother, is what you said is true? I... I can also be the head of the army? Can I do it?"

Liu Datou nodded affirmatively and said, "Brother Minghui, of course you are qualified to be a corps leader. These days, not to mention the prairie cavalry under our brother’s long wooden spear. Famous prairie cavalry, with such a record, in one of our teams, or even in the entire village, who can compare?"

Don’t look at Zhang Minghui’s body a little thin, but his strength is not small, and his body is very flexible. When some Huren cavalry rushed into the infantry battle formation without hesitating casualties, they needed the Daan soldiers in the battle formation. These Huren cavalrymen who came in were eliminated as soon as possible and quickly plugged the gap in the battlefield. The five prairie cavalrymen slaughtered by Zhang Minghui were all killed under such circumstances.

"Yes! Big head brother, you are better than me. There are at least thirteen Huren cavalrymen who were slaughtered by you!"

"Hehe, it's fourteen, otherwise how could the team rate allow me to take over a long position!"

"Big Brother, thank you. If I become the head of the corps, I can send more money to the family every month, and the family's life will be better."

"Our brother is a fateful friendship. It's right to help you. By the way, isn't your father sick? If I am short of money, I originally saved almost 14 taels. This time my combat merits can be exchanged for at least seven or eight. Twelve taels, if you want to use them, take them all!"

According to the regulations of the Da'an Army, beheading an enemy in a battle is a reward of five taels of silver. If the enemy is an officer, the reward will be more. The higher the level of the enemy, the higher the reward.

"Thank you, big brother, I don’t need money for the time being. A few days ago, my family asked someone to send a letter saying that the thirty taels of money left by me in the army had cured my father’s illness! By the way, big brother, let’s Did the battalion go to war today?"

Liu Datou’s face suddenly turned a little sad, "No, our battalion did not go to war today. Yesterday’s battle was crippled at our Yiziying camp, so let’s say what we are. Now even if you count you, there are actually only four people left. , This is not bad, we have a total of ten shrines, three of them have died out, and our entire Yizi Camp seems to have more than 5,000 people left."

In each battalion under the Da'an Army, Liu Ji did not give names to all the battalions except for the individual ones. However, the soldiers of each battalion privately named their respective battalions under the names of their captains. For example, in the camp of Le Yi, the soldiers in the camp called themselves Yi camp.

"What? We have more than 5,000 people left in the Yiziying camp, then... isn't our Yiziying nearly 10,000 dead?" Zhang Minghui shouted in shock.

Liu Datou said bitterly: "Brother Minghui, you can recover from the wounded camp! Our Yiziying camp should have no battles recently. I don't know when we can recruit new recruits for the Yiziying camp?"

Inside Liu Ji's tent in the camp, only Liu Ji, Su Lie and Le Yi were here at this time. Liu Ji sighed and asked Le Yi, "How many people are left in your camp now?"

Le Yi said sadly: "Tell the lord, if you don't count the seriously wounded, there are only a little more than 5,300 left. The battalion underneath was maimed by the Khitan cavalry yesterday. It lost more than 4,500 in the first battle yesterday. Hundreds of people."

As one of Liu Ji's ace troops, in addition to the first day of fighting against the Hu people at Qishankou, Liu Ji only sent Le Yi this battalion to fight twice, including yesterday.

However, after Le Yi’s battalion went into battle yesterday, it was spotted by Khitan Youli King Yelvqi. Yelvqi sent his Qidan elite horses to launch a desperate attack on the infantry battle formation of Le Yi battalion~ www.wuxiahere.com~ I hope to annihilate this elite group under the command of Dajin Jiuhu.

Fortunately, the soldiers of Le Yi’s battalion were tenacious and tough enough. They just carried tens of thousands of Khitan elite cavalry attacks. In the end, under the support of several cavalry battalions, they persisted until the evening of yesterday, which was the end of the Hu Ren coalition. Time.

Of course, the loss of Le Yi's battalion is also staggering. The infantry battalion that was originally full of more than 15,000 people now only has more than 5,300 people left, and almost two-thirds of its troops have been lost.

At this time, Su Lie said, "Master, Brother Leyi cannot send out this battalion, otherwise the foundation of this battalion will be wiped out. If we want to rebuild this battalion, it will be a world of difference in terms of combat effectiveness."

Liu Ji's expression was a bit uncomfortable at this time. This time the Daan Army gathered 19 infantry battalions and 10 cavalry battalions here at Qishan Pass, and then Liu Ji's guard battalion.

Twelve of the 19 infantry battalions are newly formed infantry battalions. The combat effectiveness of the new infantry battalions is not high. Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, and Zhang Guibian were seven infantry battalions with strong combat effectiveness.

In the ten days of fierce battle, the Huoan Army suffered about 150,000 casualties, of which cavalry accounted for 60,000, infantry accounted for 90,000, and among the 90,000 infantry, there were seven strong infantry battalions. It accounted for almost 55,000 people.

Therefore, not only the infantry battalion Le Yi, but the other six infantry battalions with strong combat effectiveness were almost all maimed in these ten days of **** battle.

Liu Ji pondered for a moment and said to Le Yi: "Now it's not just the infantry battalions under your command, but the six battalions Gaoshun, Li Xin, Mengwu, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, and Zhang Guibian have suffered heavy casualties. You said How many of the five infantry battalions of Wei Xiaokuan, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Xu Rong, and Cheng Pu in the four counties of Da'an County and Yongjing County should be transferred?"
