Chapter 271 White Horse Qiang(1/2)
"Our army prepared early in the morning to prevent any eventuality."
"That's how it should be."
At this moment, the generals in the tent also realized the unfavorable situation of the battle after a short period of thinking, and they all raised their hands and made suggestions.
After raising his head and looking around, Fei Yao paused for a moment before showing a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice: "All units of our army have been assembled."
"The envoy also sent two rounds of newly recruited young men."
"At present, the total number of infantry and cavalry in the army is about 30,000."
"According to the Sentinel Cavalry's inquiries, those who invaded Longsang City and other southwestern borders this time were Shu troops stationed in Qiang Road, with only a few thousand men under their command."
"I have decided to set out from now on and march towards Longsang, seeking a decisive battle with the enemy and wiping out the enemy invaders forcefully."
A very solemn speech came to an end.
Fei Yao also issued the order to go out.
As soon as this was said.
The general under his command seemed to be thoughtful, and couldn't help but raise his hand and suggest: "General Fei, since our army has the advantage in strength, why not divide our forces?"
"Are you referring to dividing an army and going south to attack Qiang Dao again?"
"What the general said is true!"
"This is the meaning of the last general. The so-called art of war says: attack the enemy and you must save it. Qiang Road is an important town in the military capital, and it is also the rear area of this Shu army."
"Once this place is lost, the enemy's military morale will definitely be shaken."
"When our army launches a fierce attack on Longsang, won't it be easy to defeat the enemy?"
This general also spouted every word he spoke.
Describe the strategy you have in mind.
Immediately, he paused, thought for a moment, and then said: "The enemy's garrison at Qiang Road is only about five thousand troops. It turns out that the enemy general does not know what to do and actually leads most of them to the north to invade."
"Isn't this a God-given opportunity for our army to attack the Qiang Dao? The general must not miss it."
"This is indeed a good strategy."
"General Fei should agree!"
"The general should send the main force to Longsang to hold back most of the Shu army, so as to prevent them from hearing that the Qiang Road was attacked and returning with their troops for reinforcements."
"Immediately send an elite force to the south again."
"This is the best strategy!"
One word after another fell out.
Most of the generals in the army agreed with this strategy of dividing the troops.
An almost unanimous echo was heard.
General Fei Yao's mind was also spinning rapidly, thinking about the feasibility of this strategy.
While he stretched out his hand, he looked at the markings on the map.
It seemed like a while had passed.
He then looked around at the generals on both sides and responded in a deep voice: "I have just thought about it seriously. If this strategy is arranged properly, it can be regarded as a good strategy."
Having said that, Fei Yao had already made up his mind.
First, the generals who proposed this strategy were ordered to select 3,000 elite infantry and cavalry from the army to march southward along Didao, bypassing the Shu army knight corps along Lintao, and quietly make a surprise attack.
Then he sent someone to the important town of Xiangwu to inform Dai Ling of his plan.
It is necessary to attract the attention of the enemy cavalry as much as possible.
Delay it so that the enemy cavalry can't receive the news and return with reinforcements to attack our partial division.
A brief military discussion came to an end.
Fei Yao issued various instructions in an orderly manner.
The main garrison troops then divided their forces and advanced.
A partial force went south along the Qiang Road to attack.
Fei Yao himself led his soldiers to fight westward toward Longsang City to meet the invading Shu army.
Along the way, Cao Jun's various departments stood with flags and military formations in order.
I saw the flags held by tens of thousands of troops like floating clouds covering the sun, and the formations were also in order.
In the formation, there are young athletes holding sharp weapons.
All filled with a state of high spirits.
There was even a trace of looming resentment on his face.
Obviously, the battle last winter ended with a defeat.
But he is worthy of being regarded as the elite of Cao's army stationed at the border.
The ability to adjust is indeed quite amazing.
It’s only the end of the new year!
He has regained his fighting spirit.
And he still has the intention of revenge.
At this moment, all the soldiers were ready to show off again with the Shu army!
Waves of fierce and passionate momentum emanated from the military formations without any pause.
Gradually……
The entire marching official road seemed to be filled with a fierce and depressing momentum.
The surrounding ordinary people who were busy in the farmland seemed to feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.
And just when Fei Yao and his troops were rushing to Longsang City.
Zhao Tong also ordered all ministries to step up reinforcements of the camp in order to be fully prepared for the battle.
Especially when the main force of Cao's army got closer, the atmosphere of war in this place gradually became stronger.
At the moment when both armies were focusing their attention on Longsang City, the envoys sent by both sides also rushed between Zongma and the camps of the various Xiqiang tribes.
It was not just Zhao Tong who sent envoys to the Qiang camp.
Regarding Cao Jun.
After receiving the news of the Shu army's invasion.
Gusao
The governor of Liangzhou passed some discussions with his aide Yang Fu.
Zhang Ji also sent envoys to the Qiang land in the same way.
But considering the distance, it was natural that the envoys under Zhao Tong arrived first.
Wudu County is northwest of Qiang Road and Longnan is to the west.
There is a large area of terrain in between which is mainly flat land with few mountains, making it extremely suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry.
This vast area is surrounded by endless rivers.
Starting from the source of Xihan River, it is divided into Bailongjiang River and Baishuijiang River.
The Baima Qiang camp is located here.
According to historical records, the Baima people are engaged in agriculture and produce horses, cattle, sheep, paint, honey, etc.
From the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people gathered to defend themselves. The Tang and Tibetans were at war for a long time, and the Baima people were in the midst of it. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was the "Baima Fan".
The predecessor of the Qiuchi Kingdom, which was famous between the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was Baima Qiang.
That is the country established by the descendants of Qiang King Yang Wanwan.
As the Han envoys rushed to the bottom, they rushed to the bottom.
After questioning along the way, we finally found the location of Baima Qiang.
He followed Zhao Tong's instructions and knew that the war was about to break out. The time was urgent and there was no room for any delay.
Therefore, he did not have time to rest, so he quickly went to ask to see Yang Wanwan, who was now the prince of White Horse Qiang.
New here.
The reason why he did not ask to see Qiang King Yang Ju was also because Zhao Tong warned him before leaving that after arriving in Qiang land, he could just visit Yang Wanwan first!
This person has a close relationship with General Ma Mengqi, one of the Five Tiger Generals in our army.
As long as you can convince them.
Of course, there is no need to worry about King Baima Qiang!
