Chapter 21 Wild battles, inverse battle exploits!
Tan Shihuai died, he was really dead. He died inexplicably, but suddenly.
When the Xianbei military officer trembled and repeatedly stroked Tan Shihuai's breathing, and under the pressure of several Xianbei adults, he felt that the pulse on Tan Shihuai's arms stopped and stopped.
The Xianbei Camp fell into a strange and yin atmosphere.
Everyone will die, and no one is destined to be immortal. Since Tan Shihuai has been on the battlefield, he naturally expected that the day he would die on the battlefield.
But the commanders of the Xianbei in the West did not expect that they were indeed shocked by this sudden incident.
He was also dragged into a dilemma by the death of the king in their hearts.
Since Tan Shihuai died, according to Xianbei customs, he naturally had to be restrained into a coffin and put it in the soil to make peace. And the faster the time, the better. Otherwise, as time goes by, when Tan Shihuai arrives at the old ground and is buried, the corpse turns into a stinky appearance of a zombie. Wouldn't it be a huge joke?
However, if Tan Shihuai leaves, there is a large army to escort his body back. Wuyuan County is not far from the Xianbei royal court, but if it is close, there is no way to talk about it. Although it seems that the Han Dynasty herders, villagers and other foreign tribes such as Wuheng wished they could avoid thousands of miles away and fear them like tigers. But if there was no Xianbei army to accompany him, Tan Shihuai might not have achieved the simple requirement of being buried under the yellow spring.
The Han people on the border hate Tan Shihuai to the bone. There are many people who are invaded and robbed by the foreign people who hate Tan Shihuai to the bone!
Therefore, if Tan Shihuai's body is sent back to the royal court, at least two thousand Xianbei cavalry must be accompanied by guards to ensure that there is no accident.
How much is minus 2,000? Is 8,000? It's right, but the key is that the Xianbei still has a 10,000 army?
In the fierce and passionate battle, the Xianbei people with simple minds and unruly temperaments did not care much, but five days later, they stopped fighting with the Han army on the top of Wuyuan City, and after statistics, the Xianbei military officer found that the ratio of death and injury between the Han army and the Xianbei soldiers reached an astonishing consistency: 1:1
According to common sense, the Xianbei won, and it was a big victory. However, in fact, the Xianbei lost, which was very miserable, very miserable. Because theirs did not meet the premise: the city was broken!
The constant law of 3:1 casualties between offense and defense. The law of siege and death is three times the loss of the defending city. In this time, it does not apply.
It was just because the Xianbei siege army had transferred to the elite Xianbei cavalry in infantry combat, and every lost cavalry could become a nightmare for the Han army when riding on horseback, but they all died in the infantry-style meat grinder that sieges.
The Xianbei people died of the elite cavalrymen, while the Han army lost the county and state soldiers of the second-rate troops.
In that battle, the Han army suffered more than 2,900 casualties, and the Xianbei army suffered more than 3,000 casualties. What a close and slightly profound number!
At least when Ding Yuan, who was on the road to reinforcements, received the battle report, his look of laughing wildly shocked the war horse under his crotch and was restless.
Fortunately, the governor Ding was pretty good at riding skills. He finally didn't lose a huge face in front of the joint army formed by several counties. He also consolidated his own status and gave the county magistrate an unfathomable image that would not survive without being crazy.
Then, he became bold and brave, and the battle circle lingered in his voice, saying that even if Lu Bu was present, he would not be able to resist the enemy: Xianbei dogs are really slippery, and they can't be beaten and can't be driven away. However, according to this governor, what is the reason to beat dogs?
Kill! The deafening shouts of killing express the thoughts of the coalition forces in the counties. If there was no fear or fear of the Xianbei cavalry before, it would be a huge lie. However, only they knew in their hearts that it was more of a kind of hatred and pain engraved into their bone marrow.
Under the scimitar of the Xianbei cavalry, the wronged souls that were killed in the past and even babies and women could not escape were entangled in the hearts of these people.
You should know that there are even their own wives and children, their own parents, their own brothers and their own brothers.
That kind of indescribable pain cannot be described in words, only: kill!
I have to say that there are no simple people who can achieve the position of governor. No matter what Ding Yuan thinks, his words have brought about the fighting spirit of the coalition forces of the counties!
In this case, the commander told the news that Tan Shihuai was dead and the Xianbei army was in chaos, which was like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, eliminating the last trace of cowardice left by the coalition forces in the counties due to lack of training.
A few days later, when the sound of firecrackers gradually came, the end of the year was about to walk slowly by the hourglass.
The seven thousand rescue troops led by Ding Yuan, which were pieced together from the middle and east of each county, finally arrived.
When the seven thousand soldiers with murderous aura passed by swaggeringly not far from the Xianbei camp, to be honest, they really scared the Xianbei army that Da Shanyu had just died.
Then there was boundless resentment and murderous intent, and the deep shame of the Xianbei clan lingered in my heart!
Ding Yuan guessed the beginning correctly, but he did not guess the process and ending correctly.
I thought the Xianbei people had just died. When the morale was low and they were unable to fight again, they were ashamed of the seven thousand powerful reinforcements who had no courage and courage to attack him.
As long as the commander of the Xianbei Army is a little bit brainy and vigilant, he should discuss the issue of withdrawing troops and how to cut off the rear.
However, Ding Yuan obviously did not expect that the commanders of the Xianbei in the West did not read military books, especially Sun Tzu's Art of War and Wu Zi's Art of War. What kind of thing is that?
They only believe in: if you have grudges, you will be repaid, if you have grudges, you will be repaid, you will be deducted blood and you will never stop until you die!
Because they are Xianbei, a group of wolves, not sheep.
Therefore, an accidental but inevitable fight began. The Xianbei people were ready for the fight, and the coalition forces of the counties were ready for the fight. The irony was that Ding Yuan, who had worked hard to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers, wanted to enter Wuyuan City first and then fight together.
When the five thousand elite cavalry of the Xianbei army suddenly appeared in sight, they rushed towards the coalition forces of the counties with iron hooves that broke through the sky.
When the seven thousand old miscellaneous county troops abandoned their cowardice and left only endless fighting and murderous intent.
When the two thousand cavalry in the coalition forces of the counties faced the torrent of the iron cavalry that seemed to symbolize the gate of hell with unprecedented determination.
When the remaining five thousand mixed bows and infantry were lined up in mixed soldiers to fight in the command orders of Ding Yuan and the county magistrates.
Countless eyes were intersecting at this moment, including madness, killing, bloodthirsty, and fanaticism. However, there was no cowardice and nervousness!
Oh, there is another person who is slightly timid and nervous, that is, the governor Ding Da who only wants to make a successful contribution but does not want to fail to escape.
"Puchi, puchi, puchi." The notes that scimitar cut across the body brought about a dead horse dancing dance.
The dead-headed corpse fell weakly from the horse's back, and then fell to the ground and was stepped on by the horse into blood-red meat.
Screams kept coming from the soldiers' mouths, but when the shouts appeared, I found that the upper and lower bodies were doing the magic of death that split up!
The battle, from the moment it started, entered a white heat.
The splattered blood spilled all over the earth! The expression on Ding Yuan's face was unchanging indifference from beginning to end!
However, as time went by, the seven thousand county troops were unable to believe it but had to accept their fate: although both sides became madmen, there was a gap between the sea level and the continental shelf between the madmen.
The Xianbei Army's aggressiveness, killerness and fierceness are obviously more than the county army that lacks training based on their passion.
Moreover, this Xianbei army is a mourning soldier.
When the strength and morale are not much different, the mourning soldiers will definitely win. The revenge army, who came with passion, had to be suppressed by the Xianbei people who were already strong and fierce, was under the disadvantage of them.
In the end, it was defeated!
The battle took place from noon to afternoon, which took two hours. However, what made Ding Yuanmu dizzy was that the seven thousand county troops were defeated, with 3,000 casualties and more than two thousand people were polished out in the battle. The initial courage was left, leaving only horror and fleeing.
Ding Yuan led the remaining county lieutenants and more than a thousand soldiers, and retreated into Wuyuan City with Tu Yihang's life.
However, with the great victory of the Xianbei and the large amount of military supplies seized, the morale of the Xianbei army became stronger and more free from logistical worries!
Due to Tu Yihang's life of commanding troops to rescue him, Wuyuan County also lost a part of his army. Even with more than a thousand soldiers from the frightened birds entering the city to provide assistance, Wuyuan County became in danger.
Wuyuan County Government.
Ding Yuan's hair was a few white, which was so sad. He didn't expect that when he was about to celebrate the New Year, he would give a big gift to the court thousands of miles away: a big gift that would not be an exaggeration to call it a crushing defeat.
It is conceivable that perhaps the important officials of Beijing who were originally happy and lively preparing for the New Year, the royal relatives would feel extremely uncomfortable when they heard this news as if they had a fly when eating dumplings during the New Year.
Then, his disaster came!
We must not report the war report to the court truthfully! But there are so many people involved, and we can’t hide it even if we want to!
What is the best way to avoid the consequences of a crushing defeat and what is the best way to do it?
The layers of thoughts were entangled in Ding Yuan's heart. Ding Yuan thought a lot in an instant, but they were all denied one by one.
After thinking hard for a long time, a flash of light passed through his mind.
"Come on, please find General Tu for this governor!" Ding Yuan said to the guards in a hurry.
Soon, Tu Yihang arrived in a hurry. He entered the room and immediately bowed to Ding Yuan to salute him, and his expression was also extremely pious!
"Haha, General Tu, sit down, don't be polite, you are a person who has made great contributions!" Ding Yuan pulled Tu Yihang to sit down while joking, and his expression was as friendly as possible.
Tu Yihang was flattered and sat down quickly. From beginning to end, his expression was as admiration and piety as ever!
Ding Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Finally, there are still people who remember him, a brave general who has made great contributions to the construction of Bingzhou. It is rare that people now admire his bravery so much!
"General Tu, this governor solemnly asked you, last time you wanted to recognize me as your lord in your letter, but this governor refused. Now this governor wants you to recognize me as your lord, do you still think the same way?"
A hint of ecstasy and enthusiasm appeared on Tu Yihang's face. He knelt on one knee, raised the general's sword at his waist over his head, and said without hesitation: The lord has his life, but he dares not follow him!
Ding Yuan laughed loudly. Tu Yihang was so pleasant in his eyes. It seemed that he would have to promote him after he had overcome this difficulty!
Ding Yuan kindly helped Tu Yihang up, and then the two of them sat down in different places.
"Yihang, this governor asked you something. Do you know who killed Tan Shihuai?" Ding Yuan suddenly asked with a smile.
Tu Yihang was stunned and said: Didn’t the military newspaper for the lord say that it was Qi Sheng and Qi!
Ding Yuan shook his head slowly, and a faint light flashed in his eyes: Remember, it was you who killed Tan Shihuai, not the dead man. No matter how great the glory the dead man gained, it was meaningless, but the living could do more good things that benefit the country and the people with these merits!
Tu Yihang frowned and pondered: But?
Ding Yuan looked forward coldly, his voice becoming more and more low: No, but, this governor reiterated that dead people have no value. I will leave the matters in the military to you, and it is necessary to be consistent in the same way. But the court will leave it to me, and you will wait for promotion!
Tu Yihang fell silent, but soon he smiled and said: The lord's move is really high!
Ding Yuan was very satisfied with Tu Yihang's performance. His purpose was to emphasize the contributions behind the scenes while Tongbing Tu Yihang's achievements.
After all, Tu Yihang is his slave to Ding Yuan! It is also considered a contribution to teaching, haha.
Of course, these alone are not enough, but the merits and demerits are considered a good result.
If you want to win a great victory, there must be several generals who will break through the enemy's formation!
Chapter completed!
