Chapter 341 Xianbei Famous General, Murong Shaozong

"The White Lotus Sect has captured six towns, hundreds of villages, and rebels from all over the country, and bandits responded one after another. They joined the White Lotus Sect. Tang Sai'er already has 50,000 soldiers, which is enough to threaten Wancheng."

Gao Cheng and Murong Shaozong led 30,000 troops back to Wancheng. Tang Saier's White Lotus Rebel Army had conquered six towns one after another.

Gao Cheng spreads out the topographic map of the Nanyang Basin. The territory occupied by Tang Sai'er starts with Funiu Mountain, occupying six towns near Funiu Mountain, threatening Wancheng from the west.

Gao Huan of Northern Qi was unpopular. The White Lotus Sect shouted the slogan "Spread the fields equally", and localities responded. The White Lotus Sect expanded at an astonishing speed.

"Although the White Lotus Army has 50,000 troops, most of them are farmers facing the loess and facing the sky. Our 30,000 people are elite soldiers in a hundred battles. One can defeat 300,000 White Lotus Army. Without further ado, they will be killed in the cradle as soon as possible."

As Gao Huan's eldest son, Gao Cheng has extraordinary abilities and is in a similar situation as Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi.

Gao Cheng and his younger brother Gao Yang have similar relationships with Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.

Gao Cheng knew that the White Lotus Sect could not be allowed to continue to grow, otherwise the consequences would be difficult to curb.

In order to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible, the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty even asked local tyrants to recruit soldiers on their own and set up state patriarchs, resulting in the separatist rule of local tyrants.

Because once the peasant uprising army does not suppress it as soon as possible, a spark can start a prairie fire.

After Gao Cheng returned to Wancheng to replenish supplies, he immediately led his troops to rush to Funiu Mountain, hoping to suppress the white lotus saint Tang Sai'er.

"Tang Sai'er caused a lot of trouble to our Qi army. If she was captured alive, five horses would be dismembered!"

Gao Cheng hated Tang Sai'er, who was enemies of the Northern Qi army.

"Your Highness, it is said that this white lotus saint Tang Sai'er is an extraordinary person with an ice-skinned and jade bone."

"Then capture him alive and rush into the Eastern Palace!"

Gao Cheng will still show mercy to the beautiful women and punish them in another way.

Thirty thousand soldiers of Northern Qi who were sharp and strong were pressing towards Funiu Mountain.

Originally, the place west of Wancheng, because Gao Cheng and Murong Shaozong's Northern Qi army arrived, from turmoil to calm down.

For the betrayed village, Murong Shaozong directly razed it to the ground, burned, killed and looted, and killed chickens to warn monkeys.

The famous Xianbei general Murong Shaozong came in a fierce manner, which calmed down the hot-headed peasant uprising army.

It is a very attractive vision to overthrow the rule of Northern Qi and divide the fields equally, but they need to cross the mountain of 30,000 Northern Qi soldiers with sharpness.

If defeated by the Northern Qi army, the heads of the White Lotus Sect will be made into a Jingguan by the Northern Qi army to serve as a warning to others.

Tang Sai'er knew that some of the main forces of the Northern Qi army had been transferred back from the front line, so she voluntarily withdrew from the occupied town and led the Bailian army to retreat to Funiu Mountain.

Zhang Hua taught Tang Saier theories and tactics of military affairs such as "a spark can start a prairie fire", "the enemy advances, and I retreat, and the enemy retreats," which qualitatively improved the level of Tang Saier's launch of the White Lotus Uprising.

Tang Sai'er used the guerrilla tactics taught to her by Zhang Hua, temporarily gave up the six towns that looked mouth-watering, and took the initiative to retreat to Funiu Mountain, and decided to use the terrain of Funiu Mountain to defeat 30,000 Northern Qi soldiers.

"The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we attack, the enemy retreats and we chase."

Tang Sai'er silently recited the military tactics taught to her by Zhang Hua, and firmly thought about dealing with the 30,000 Northern Qi troops in Funiu Mountain.

It seems that Tang Sai'er took the initiative to give up the six occupied towns. This decision was very unwise, but Tang Sai'er had already added troops, weapons, food, and preserved the main force. He chose to deal with the powerful enemy in the favorable terrain he was familiar with, which was in line with the essence of guerrilla tactics.

Many peasant uprising leaders just didn't understand this truth. After capturing a piece of land, they were reluctant to leave. They were either defeated by the main cavalry of the feudal dynasty on the plain, or were besieged by officers and soldiers in an isolated city, and eventually the entire army was wiped out.

After Tang Saier became Zhang Hua's apprentice, his strategic and tactical abilities were significantly improved.

Zhang Hua has theory, while Tang Saier has practice. After Tang Saier learns theory, he is also growing.

"The loss of occupied villages and towns is not worth worrying. The key is to eliminate 30,000 Northern Qi troops. Then Wancheng will be shocked and the wind will fall from all over the country. This decision is quite wise. Is this person really a village girl?"

Ma Liang, who temporarily served as the military advisor of the White Lotus Army, looked at Tang Sai'er with admiration.

Tang Saier's military use level is already a bit like guerrilla warfare.

It’s nothing to lose some territory. As long as the White Lotus Army eliminates the main force of the Northern Qi army and makes the people of the Northern Qi forces panic, the White Lotus Army can instead be as powerful as a bamboo shoot and attack the Yellow Dragon.

No matter how much you care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, few generals can do it.

"However, the generals who commanded the Northern Qi army to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Army may not be good people..."

Ma Liang did not relax his vigilance.

In Gao Huan's era, the Eastern Wei, Western Wei, and Southern Liang were in a state of great power, and wars continued. Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai fought five times in succession, with each other winning and losing. There were countless small-scale conflicts in the middle. Due to frequent wars, many famous generals were born. The Northern Qi forces established on the basis of the Eastern Wei were famous.

These famous generals who survived the sea of ​​blood were not so easy to deal with.

"Wow!" Ling Tong came back on a horse, holding a scout of the Northern Qi army captured alive in his hand. "I have tortured this person and led the troops to encircle and suppress us. They are Gao Cheng and Murong Shaozong!"

"Gao Huan's eldest son Gao Cheng is here in person? He really respects me."

Tang Sai'er had fought with the Northern Qi army before and was defeated by the Northern Qi army many times. He had some understanding of the abilities of the various military generals of the Northern Qi army.

Gao Cheng may not be able to lead troops, but Gao Cheng is a man who is proficient in strategy and is good at politics. He is a person of the same level as Sima Shi.

The real military general who led the troops should be Murong Shaozong, a famous Xianbei general who is good at using troops.

Ling Tong's face was rarely heavy: "Not only that, Murong Shaozong had personally led 8,000 light cavalry and detoured us overnight, cutting off our road to Funiu Mountain. I'm afraid we can no longer choose to deal with the Northern Qi army in Funiu Mountain, and there is still the danger of being besieged by Gao Cheng and Murong Shaozong."

"Gao Cheng is too sinister..."

Tang Sai'er wanted to use guerrilla tactics to defeat Gao Cheng and Gao Cheng in Funiu Mountain. Murong Shaozong predicted the movements of the Bailian Army in advance, and Gao Cheng continued to lead troops to put forward pressure. Murong Shaozong personally led 8,000 light cavalry to cut off the Bailian Army's retreat and drove the Bailian Army to the decisive battle location that Gao Cheng expected!

Both sides wanted to use the appropriate terrain, and Murong Shaozong took the lead, causing the White Lotus Army to become passive.

At this time, Tang Sai'er, Ma Liang, Ling Tong and others were already helpless!

None of the people who can survive in troubled times are simple people, each of whom is a scheming person and intrigue!

Tang Saier's plan was at a disadvantage because of Murong Shaozong's cavalry's rapid maneuver.

Tang Saier's White Lotus Army was almost all infantry, maneuvering for a short distance, and his two legs could not run away from Murong Shaozong's four-legged light cavalry.

Murong Shaozong's eight thousand light cavalry each had two or three war horses. He accelerated the marching speed by transferring and forced the 50,000 White Lotus Army into a desperate situation.

Tang Sai'er immediately spread out the topographic map and looked for a place where he could hide from Murong Shaozong's cavalry: "There is a reed land here. Through the reed land, you can retreat into the mountains and forests. This is the best way to avoid cavalry at this time."

Tang Sai'er adapted to the situation and chose the place to fight again.

The White Lotus Army fought with Murong Shaozong's cavalry on the plains, and had no chance of winning.

These cavalry were not troops that lacked fighting spirit and military pay in the late feudal dynasty, but veterans who licked blood at the trepidation of troubled times, robbed money, grain, and women, and suppressed the peasant uprising army.

"The reed land has a muddy terrain and can indeed effectively block cavalry, but there will be risks here. You can only risk your life and live to death."

Ma Liang recognized Tang Saier's plan to temporarily change.

Fighting with the Northern Qi army in Funiu Mountain is the best way to restrain the Northern Qi cavalry.

Unfortunately, the retreat was cut off, and the White Lotus Army had to go to other places, and the reed land was an alternative.

When encountering the Northern Qi army in the reed land, it will be extremely dangerous, but it is better to fight the Northern Qi cavalry on the plain.

Under the leadership of Tang Saier, the 50,000 White Lotus Army quickly marched towards the reed ground.

The war eagle soared in the air, monitoring the every move of the White Lotus Army.

Murong Shaozong led 8,000 cavalry to block the retreat of the Bailian Army.

The War Eagle Unit of the Northern Qi Army reported the movements of the White Lotus Army to Murong Shaozong.

"The direction of the White Lotus Army's transfer seems to be here... This is a reed land. Do you think you can escape the pursuit of my Murong Shaozong? Even if you escape to the reed land, you will be unable to escape!"

Murong Shaozong led 8,000 Xianbei cavalry to pursue the Bailian army relentlessly.

Under the influence of Murong Shaozong's legion talent, the eight thousand Xianbei cavalry were as fast as the wind and surrounded and intercepted the Bailian Army.

In the rear, Gao Cheng received news that the Bailian Army had changed its marching direction and led his troops to follow and drove the Bailian Army to the reed land with Murong Shaozong.

"Zhang Hua thought that with Tang Saier, a defeated general, could he conquer Wancheng? He really didn't take our Qi army seriously. The 50,000 White Lotus Army had nowhere to escape, how could he escape from my Gao Cheng's palm?"

Gao Cheng's face was gloomy and continued to drive the army to march towards the reed land.

Fifty thousand White Lotus Army, 30 thousand Northern Qi Army, and 80 thousand soldiers gathered in the nameless reed land near Funiu Mountain.

Tang Saier's 50,000 White Lotus Army arrived at the reed land, while Murong Shaozong's 8,000 light cavalry had already arrived first!

"Hurry up, hide in the reed ground!"

Tang Sai'er arrived first when he saw Murong Shaozong's cavalry. He probably speculated that Murong Shaozong's legion talent was related to rapid marching. If he was facing a great enemy, he immediately let the White Lotus Army enter the muddy reed land and avoid the iron hoofs of the Northern Qi cavalry.

Instead of rushing to launch a cavalry charge, Murong Shaozong patiently witnessed the 50,000 white lotus troops entering the reed land one after another.

Murong Shaozong is located on the west side of the reed land, while Tang Saier is located on the east side of the reed land.

"It's God really helping me. The White Lotus Sect will be wiped out here."

Murong Shaozong looked at the flags of the Northern Qi army and saw the flags floating eastward.

Murong Shaozong came first and had already occupied the right time and place in advance.
