Chapter 51 Fraudulent surrender
Wuwei City.
Those soldiers who hesitated repeatedly and failed to participate in the night attack felt so embarrassed that they did not want to stay here and went back to their tribes.
They were soldiers following Li Chuyun. This time, the tribes immediately attracted the attention of each other's clan leaders.
When I learned that Li Chuyun was going to test his courage with five hundred soldiers and take a tour of the enemy camp, his face turned green in an instant.
They all came to the Central Plains with the hope of a bright future. If Li Chuyun died, all the promises they made would be lost.
So what prospects do they have?
Are you kidding us?
At this time, several tribal leaders even regretted following Li Chuyun.
Who would have thought that Li Chuyun would be so unreliable, rash, and aggressive...
The three people gathered together in a hurry.
Long Xu, the leader of Zhilong Clan, said: "Li Jiedu left the city, what should we do now?"
Ayudan scolded: "What else can we do? There is no reason to turn back the arrow that was shot. I have already summoned the warriors of the clan to support Li Jiedu, and I must do whatever it takes to keep him alive..."
Niu Tianjin said: "Let's come together. Li Jiedu won't be stupid enough to die. The more people there are, the greater the chance of rescue."
Long Xu was old and no longer visited the battlefield in person. He said, "I asked Mi Ban to lead the troops to go with you."
Mi Banji was the number one general under Long Xu, and his bravery was one of the best in Liangzhou.
At this critical moment, a few people reacted quickly. They hurriedly gathered four thousand soldiers and left Wuwei City to capture Jia Shi's camp.
They were only six miles apart from each other, and the cavalry arrived near the camp in less than half an hour.
Looking at the chaotic capture of Jia Shi's camp, Niu Tianjin and Ayu Dan, how many people looked at each other in confusion?
Ayudan whispered in disbelief: "Is this the result of a battle caused by five hundred people?"
Mi Banzhi had the lowest status, but was the most courageous. He said: "If this is not enough, how long will it take?"
Niu Tianjin and Ayu Dan looked at each other and saw what each other meant: "Do it!"
Without much hesitation, three men and four thousand soldiers directly joined the battle.
In fact, even without their four thousand soldiers, the outcome of this battle would not have changed in any way.
The troops used to capture Jia Shi were too mixed and chaotic.
Led by four powerful men, more than thirty tribes near Liangzhou relied on them to cooperate.
Not to mention that small and medium-sized tribes cherish their wings, retreat when they can and hide when they can.
The four great powers are not aligned with each other and do not trust each other.
You doubt me, I doubt you.
When they encounter an attack at night, what they think about is not how to defeat the enemy, but who is the enemy?
What comes to mind is not how to save the war situation, but to preserve one's own strength to avoid being annexed by others.
If they are so wary of each other and fearful of each other, how can it be possible to fight against the enemy together?
But after all, Li Chuyun only had more than 500 men, and their lethality and physical strength were limited. They were able to take advantage of their opponents' mutual wariness, create an effect of bombing the camp, and kill them back.
But the damage caused is limited...
Niu Tianjin, Ayu Dan, Mi Banzhu and these four thousand fresh troops joined in time, which just made up for Li Chuyun's lack of stamina.
They took advantage of the chaos and rushed in, taking advantage of the victory to cover up the killing. They chased and killed for ten miles in one breath until dawn, and then returned happily.
The 50,000 Allied troops who tried to capture Jia Shi were severely defeated. They fled in panic, trampling on each other, and suffered countless casualties.
"Meet Li Jiedu!"
Niu Tianjin, Ayu Dan, Mi Banzhi and Li Chuyun met.
Facing the bloody Hexi Jiedushi Li Chuyun, the three of them each represented each other's tribe and respectfully saluted Li Chuyun, their eyes full of shock and awe.
Five hundred killed and fifty thousand retreated?
What a terrible achievement this is!
Their previous respect for Li Chuyun originated from the Central Plains.
Now it's not for anything else, but for Li Chuyun's own ability.
Li Chuyun felt the different eyes, and said with great pride: "Leave some of the people to clean the battlefield, and the rest will return to Wuwei City!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Thousands of soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
A column of soldiers and horses returned to Wuwei City.
Long Xu has already learned that Li Chuyun made a great attempt to capture Jia Shi.
The old patriarch, who was astonished, went out of the city to greet him personally. As before, he bowed respectfully and said: "Li Jiedu defeated an enemy of 50,000 with 500. He is really a god. The famous generals in ancient times are nothing more than that."
Li Chuyun said sincerely: "The words of the leader of the Dragon clan are serious. When it comes to military strategy, a certain person is not ranked high in the Central Plains court. How can he dare to compare with the famous generals of ancient times?"
The people around him were slightly shocked when they heard this, and they all thought: It must be a humble statement. If it is true, it would be terrible.
**********
After capturing Jia Shi, they were defeated and fled all the way until they retreated to Hongchi Valley, where they breathed a sigh of relief.
Hongchi Valley extends from Anyuan Town to Gulang County, with a length of fifty miles. The width of the gorge varies. The widest part is only one mile, and the narrow part is only tens of meters. There are side walls and Gulong Mountains at the mouth of the gorge, which are separated from the east and west.
Like the two giants guarding the entrance of the valley, it is a natural defensive fortress.
It is also one of the strongholds occupied by Zhezuo Jiashi.
The tribal leaders fled here without summarizing the experience of the disastrous defeat.
Instead, they shirk responsibility from each other.
You say what I am wrong about, I say what is wrong about you.
This monster ran away first, and that monster attacked his own tribe.
It was so noisy.
"enough!"
Zhezuo Jiashi shouted: "Whoever is shirking responsibility should get out!"
"If you don't want to hear it, I'll just stop talking!"
The Duo Duo shrugged angrily and kept silent.
He retreated earliest and suffered the least loss.
On the contrary, the Chinese army that captured Jia Shi was the first to be attacked and suffered the heaviest losses.
This battle was a disastrous defeat, and it was hard to blame for the capture of Jia Shi. His prestige had been greatly reduced.
Zhezu Jiashi suppressed his anger.
At this moment, the details of the battle reached Hongchi Valley.
Five hundred people...
Four thousand people...
The night attack of 500 people caused 50,000 of them to be in disarray, and the pursuit of 4,000 people caused them to lose half of their troops...
This is a huge humiliation!
"puff!"
The elderly Zhezuo Jiashi couldn't bear the stimulation. He was so angry that he fell to the ground and died, spurting blood.
The powerful people in Liangzhou were also dumbfounded and fell into chaos.
Although they were very dissatisfied with Zhequan Jiashi, when Zhequan Jiashi died in front of them, they instantly lost their backbone and had no idea how to deal with the current situation.
Compared with Jia Shi's domineering attitude, Pan Luozhi, who was once the third oldest, usually played a sweet role and was quite popular. He was unanimously recognized and promoted as the big leader.
Pan Luozhi finally got his wish and sat in the position of the great leader. Looking at the many powerful patriarchs of Liangzhou who were like bereaved dogs, a feeling of sadness came to his heart. This was very different from what he had imagined.
Si Duodu asked for advice: "Big boss! What should we do next?"
