Xue Ju originally planned to destroy the Sui army's partial division and the main force, and was very tempted by his precious son's plan to wipe out the Sui army's partial division. After listening to Hao Yuan's report and advice, Xue Ju no longer hesitated. Immediately, he agreed to the tactical plan to kill the Sui army's partial division first.
The comprehensive strength of Xue Jujun's main force is far above that of the Sui Army's partial division. The Sui Army's partial division made a fatal mistake in the site selection of the camp. It is very confident to dispatch the main force to kill the Sui Army's partial division. However, Xue Jujun also faces an important problem. A counterattack by the main force of the army
Although the information showed that Chen Sangliang was sick in bed, it was unlikely that he would lead the troops to fight in person. At the same time, the main force of the Sui army had to retain some troops to guard the pavilion's throat. It was impossible to dispatch all the troops to counterattack and rescue Li Jing. With more than ten thousand people, it is not a problem to dispatch more than half of the troops to rescue Li Jing, and it is very likely to take the opportunity to attack Xue Ju's camp, encircle Wei and save Zhao, and force Xue Ju's main force to return to rescue the camp. The 50,000 main force of Xue Ju's army had to guard the camp and control the key unnamed mountain ridge to prevent the main force of the Sui army from advancing westward to rescue Li Jing. Maybe it might even give the Sui army a chance to defeat them one by one, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Considering this, after careful discussion, Xue Ju, Hao Yuan and others made a very correct decision, that is, to relocate the main camp to the unnamed mountain ridge, and let the rear army be responsible for guarding the camp's food and grass and part-time to prevent the Sui The main force of the army marched westward to rescue Li Jing, and the main force took the opportunity to free up its hands and go all out to wipe out the partial division of the Sui army.
The military situation is like fire, and the fighters are fleeting. After finalizing the battle plan, the main force of Xue Ju's army prepared to move the camp overnight. The next day, it was just dawn, and the nearly 40,000 main forces of Xue Ju's army immediately left the camp and set off, striding towards the unnamed mountain ridge However, to Xue Ju's great joy, not only did the Sui army's partial division not abandon the camp with its fatal weakness, Xue Renguo's scouts also captured a Sui army messenger at night, and found a letter written by Chen Sangliang from the messenger. Uncle Li Jing's letter. In the letter, Chen Sangliang introduced his current illness to his cousin, and asked Li Jing to be calm and calm, not to attack again for the time being, but to protect himself first, and wait for his recovery before personally Commanding troops to respond to cousin Xue Renguo's interception.
There is no longer any hesitation. It was the first time I played against Chen Sangliang. I didn't know that Chen Sangliang had always played the game of death with great proficiency. The camp was moved to the unnamed mountain ridge that also lacked a stable water source. During this period, Xue Renguo also personally led the army westward, and rushed to the dangerous pass to the west of Li Jingjun to set up camp, and blocked Li Jingjun's escape route to the west.
It was also at this time that the partial division of the Sui army, who had just woken up from a dream, realized that the crisis was coming. Li Jing hurriedly dispatched Ma Sanbao to lead the army out of the camp, trying to prevent Xue Renguo from seizing the road to the west. However, Li Jing was too slow to react. If Xue Renguo was able to block Xue Renguo's army in the narrow mountain road in time, so that Xue Renguo could reach the open area outside the Sui Army's division camp first, Ma Sanbao could only start a battle with Xue Renguo in a hasty attack, and then fight again. Xue Renguo's army, which was always slightly superior to the Sui army, finally repelled Ma Sanbao's attack after paying a considerable price. The attack covered Xue Renguo's successful occupation of the western mountain road, blocked the west escape intersection of the Sui army's partial division, and immediately set about building camp fortifications.
So far, the encirclement circle that Xue Jujun has set up for the Sui army's partial division has roughly formed. Xue Renguo's army blocked the westward escape route of the Sui army's partial division, and Xue Ju personally led the main force to block the only way for the Sui army's partial division to join the main force. Encountered by the enemy, the north and south are insurmountable mountains and mountains, which is like living in a prison—and what's worse, there is no necessary water source in this prison!
Regarding this situation, Xue Ju's army was of course full of cheers, the generals and soldiers were all overjoyed, and they all said that the defeat of the Sui army's partial division was just around the corner. The partial divisions of the Sui army, which had already lost two battles in a row, were unavoidably flustered. All the generals of the Sui army, including Ma Sanbao, who had been injured on the battlefield, rushed to Li Jing, and proposed to Li Jing in one go. He warned, and suggested that Li Jing try his best to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, lest the snow in the camp run out and fall into the crisis of lack of water and chaos.
It was Li Jing who answered the generals of the Sui Army with a rare hearty laugh, and said with a smile: "Everyone, why are you so anxious? You don't even think about it. With our prime minister's temper, how could it be possible to sit back and watch our army fall into crisis and ignore it? How could it be possible for Xue Ju to encircle our army easily? Since our prime minister debuted, when did the enemy take advantage of such a big advantage? Who dared to take advantage of our prime minister on the battlefield, did anyone get a good end? "
The generals of the Sui army looked at each other, feeling that Li Jing's words were reasonable, but they didn't dare to rest assured. Ma Sanbao cautiously reminded: "Commander, according to the prisoners captured by our army, it is rumored that our prime minister has unfortunately fallen ill, so for the time being Unable to personally command troops to fight..."
"Prime Minister is ill? Do you believe it?" Li Jing asked back with a smile, and said: "Sambo, you have been with Prime Minister Chen for the longest time, and you know that Prime Minister Chen is not in good health, but Prime Minister Chen was in the battlefield because of a sudden Can you believe that you are sick and unable to command the army?"
After a moment of silence, Ma Sanbao shook his head and replied: "I don't believe it. The prime minister is the most versatile on the battlefield. Don't say it's just a rumor that he has fallen ill. Even if I saw him lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get up, I still don't believe him. fall sick."
"That's the end." Li Jing said with a relaxed smile, "There is no one who can take advantage of our prime minister on the battlefield, you just have to remember this. Don't be in a hurry, and tell your soldiers not to be in a hurry. Just say that the prime minister will definitely send troops to rescue us, as long as we persevere, victory will definitely belong to our army."
The generals agreed, and then Liu Shishan asked again: "Commander, how should we fight next?"
"It's simple, collect as much snow as possible around the camp, strictly control water use, each person gets half a liter of water per day, and at the same time, try our best to reinforce the camp, and prepare to use the camp fortifications to compete with the bandits." Li Jing replied easily: "Then, I want to There is a way to lure most of the main force of the bandit army into the mountain path, and when our main force launches an attack, we will counterattack with all our strength and cooperate with the main force of our army to defeat the bandit army."
While the slightly worried Sui army followed the order, Xue Jujun also quickly set up a new camp. During this period, Xue Jujun also made preparations to prevent the main force of the Sui army from attacking. However, Xue Jujun was happy and slightly dissatisfied. The solution is that the main force of the Sui army has been standing still all the time, and has been sitting and watching some divisions being surrounded, as if they didn't know about it at all. But things have come to this point, it is obviously impossible for Xue Jujun to adjust his tactics, and he can only go one way to the dark, while starting to strengthen the defense on the eastern front, and at the same time starting to arrange a plan to attack the Sui army's partial division camp.
Of course, it is impossible for Chen Sangliang to not even know such an important thing as his cousin being surrounded. In fact, when Xue Jujun just started to move the camp, Chen Sangliang had already concluded that the main force of Xue Jujun would move to the unnamed mountain ridge to be stationed. After the military scouts confirmed the address of Xue Jujun's main new camp, Chen Sangliang also heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the tactics of luring the enemy had initially succeeded. However, Chen Sangliang was not in a hurry to launch an attack. He had to wait for the main force of Xue Ju's army to enter the narrow mountain road in a large scale and completely achieve the tactical purpose of luring the enemy into the unfavorable terrain before he could consider launching an attack.
Regarding this, generals like Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who were seasoned in the military, also warned Chen Sangliang, pointing out that there was little water in the mountains, and Li Jing was in danger of water shortage. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Sui army's partial division to defeat Xue Jujun. Chen Sangliang replied: "Don't worry, we don't need to worry about this problem. Li Shangshu will solve it for us. We just need to wait patiently."
It’s true that Chen Sangliang didn’t need to worry about it, and even God came to help. On that night, amidst the dark clouds, and heavy snow fell around the pavilion, the Sui army took the opportunity to store a large amount of ice and snow, and piled up many snow mountains in the camp. As a reserve, at the same time they attacked Xue Renguo's new camp. Although they were unsuccessful, they also issued a warning to Xue Jujun, forcing Xue Jujun not to consider strengthening the troops on the western front, and gradually moved westward bit by bit.
Xue Ju was also very calm, knowing that in a short period of time, it would be beneficial to his own army, so after moving the camp for two consecutive days, Xue Ju never launched an attack on the Sui army's partial camp, nor did it allow the main force to enter in large numbers. The mountain roads that are not conducive to the self-army's combat, just strengthened some troops for Xue Renguo, severely cracked down on the actions of the Sui army's partial divisions going out of the camp to collect ice and snow, fought many small-scale contact battles with the Sui army's partial divisions in the mountain forest, and successfully forced capital Li Jing, who is not thick, gave up the action of fetching water outside the camp.
Xue Ju can only do this. I believe that Chen Sangliang is currently ill and cannot lead the troops to fight in person. Of course, Xue Ju has the plan to annihilate the partial division of the Sui army before Chen Sangliang recovers to completely lay the foundation for victory. So on the third day after the camp was moved, after the fortifications of the new camp had been thoroughly improved, Xue Ju could not hold his breath after all, and left Zong Luohu to guard the unnamed mountain ridge. The partial division camp launched an attack.
The time to test the Sui Army's partial division has finally arrived, but fortunately, the Sui Army's partial division has an absolutely reassuring commander. Under the command of Li Jing, the soldiers of the Sui Army's partial division rely on the terrain and fortifications that are favorable for defense to fight head-on. Xue Jujun's battalion attacking team repelled many attacks launched by Xue Jujun, and killed the tall and powerful Longxi soldiers, causing many casualties. Furious, Xue Renguo personally led the army to charge, but was still repelled by the Sui army relying on fortifications, and failed to achieve any results. Hao Yuan suggested sending infantry to climb to the high ground behind the Sui army's camp and attack the Sui army's camp from a high position, but soon found that Li Jing had ambushed hundreds of soldiers on the top of the mountain, condescendingly killing Xue Ju's soldiers who were climbing the mountain. Numerous, successfully defeated Xue Jujun's conspiracy.
The battle lasted until it was completely dark. However, when the main force of Xue Ju's army retreated to the unnamed mountain ridge, Li Jing immediately launched a counterattack. Withdrew to the camp after many casualties.
Xue Ju was furious when he heard the news, and ordered the main force to station westward the next day, set up a new camp outside the Sui army camp, and then launched a continuous attack on the camp day and night until the enemy was defeated. Hao Yuan was worried that the main force would go too deep into the mountains, and urged Xue Ju not to do so, it would be better to station in Liangshan, an unnamed mountain, before attacking during the war. Not to mention that Mr. Chen Yingliang is sick and unable to lead the army to fight, even if he dispatches the main force, what is there to be afraid of? With Zong Luohu guarding the narrow mountain road, the distance is only fifteen miles, and it is not a word that we want to return to the eastern front about?"
Considering that it is really convenient to return to the east line not far away, Hao Yuan did not insist on objecting, but instead suggested that Xue Ju station more than 10,000 cavalry on the unnamed mountain ridge to prevent the main force of the Sui army from detouring to attack the north of the unnamed ridge. Xue Ju adopted this According to the plan, Zong Luohou left 7,000 infantry to guard the fortifications on the eastern front, and then moved westward with the main force, moved to the southern end of the plain where the Sui army was stationed, and entered the narrow area between the mountains in a large scale.
The scouts of the Sui army who closely monitored Xue Ju's main force brought the news back to the main camp of the Sui army. The generals of the Sui army immediately cheered and rushed to Chen Sangliang to ask for a battle. They scrambled to be the vanguard and launch a counterattack. . Chen Sangliang flatly refused, saying: "No, the opportunity to fight is not mature yet. The main force of the bandit army has only just entered the mountain path, and their physical strength is still very strong, and their morale is also very strong. If we attack at this time, even if our army can win, it will definitely suffer a lot. !"
"Prime Minister, when will we wait until we can take action?" Qin Qiong asked: "The main force of the bandit army has entered the depths of the mountain road, and the road is blocked. It is difficult for our scouts to detect the enemy's situation. How can we judge that the fighter is mature?"
"Three days! There will be a favorable opportunity in three days!" Chen Sangliang replied decisively: "Xue Ju's bandits go deep into the mountain road, and they must look forward to a quick battle, and they will never delay. I can be sure that Xue Ju's bandits will surely We will launch a strong attack in the next few days, or even continue to attack day and night. After three days, the physical strength and morale of Xue Ju's bandit army are almost exhausted. We will take the opportunity to launch an attack again, and we will surely win a big victory!"
After Qin Qiong nodded, he reminded: "Prime Minister, if Xue Ju's bandit army really keeps attacking our partial division day and night, can our partial division persist until then? Also, the bandit army has already established in the narrow part of the mountain road. Once we have established strong fortifications, we will spend a lot of time if we want to break through the bandit army's position."
"Don't worry about the side division, our side division can hold it." Chen Sangliang was absolutely confident in his uncle God of War, and said with a smile: "As for how to break through the interception position of the bandit army, why do we have to attack it? Isn’t the north side of the bandit army’s camp able to defeat the enemy? Besides, if we use real artillery to bombard them, how long can the bandit army build those broken fences and antlers on the eastern front to withstand it?”
As Chen Sangliang guessed, after the main force of Xue Ju's army marched westward outside the Sui Army's camp, it took only one day to set up the camp to prepare, and then immediately launched an attack on the Sui Army's camp, and divided the army into two groups, attacking in turn. The battalion fought and took turns to rest, and stormed the Sui army's partial camp day and night. Li Jing led the army to fight, and fought day and night with the main force of Xue Ju's army. The battle was extremely fierce.
The fighting power of the Longxi soldiers is indeed well-deserved. As the horse-rejecting antler fortifications outside the Sui army camp were gradually destroyed, the casualties of the Sui army, which was always inferior in physical strength and arm strength, gradually increased. After more than a day of fierce fighting, the Sui army The number of soldiers killed in the army's partial division soon exceeded 3,000, and many fence fortifications were destroyed. They could only rely on flesh and blood to contend with the enemy. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jing had no choice but to give up the outer battalion and retreat back to the Chinese army camp around Shen time on the afternoon of the third day, taking advantage of the opportunity of Xue Jujun's main force to attack the battalion. Xue Jujun, who has made progress in storing water in ice and snow, cheers thunderously, and the attack on the camp is urgent.
The most powerful point of the Yanyue-shaped camp created by Li Jing is its strong defense. After withdrawing to the camp of the Chinese army, it continued to defend in a half-arc. However, the exhaustion caused by continuous combat and the thirst caused by the reduction of drinking water still weakened the combat effectiveness of some Sui army divisions. When Xue Ju and his son realized this, they were secretly delighted. Regardless of Hao Yuan's good intentions to dissuade them and because of the decline in physical strength of the soldiers, they still attacked the Sui army's camp overnight, leaving no time for the Sui army to rest.
At the same time, the main force of the Sui army, which has been recharging its energy for a long time, is also ready to go to battle. As soon as the fifth watch arrived, all the generals of the Sui army had gathered in Chen Sangliang's central army account to accept Chen Sangliang's orders. . Chen Sangliang was not too polite. As soon as the generals arrived, he said straight to the point: "Everyone, today is the tenth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Yining. It will also be a day that must be recorded in history. Why? Because we will In today's battle against the main force of Xue Ju, the puppet emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty, I hope everyone must encourage the soldiers to take the lead bravely, and never withdraw the troops if they do not destroy the bandit army!"
The Sui army sang promises, and Chen Sangliang said loudly: "Today we will attack in two ways. Kan Ling, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and the Baoguo army will attack the north of the camp where the rebel army has piled up food and supplies. Lead 5,000 infantry first, and fight at the foot of the mountain. The bandit camp is full of cavalry, and they will inevitably send troops to attack your army. You have to hold on! Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin each lead their own cavalry to the rear. Afterwards, immediately charge forward and make sure to win! Force the main force of the bandit army to return to the division to save the grain fields!"
"Guo Feng, Chen Ci, Zhao Yu." Chen Sangliang turned to the three generals of the Baoguo Army again, and ordered: "Don't show your white robes and the flag of the Baoguo Army for the time being, and bring more dry food and horse feed to lie in ambush in the north of the bandit army. In the woods on the way to escape, recharge your energy and wait for the opportunity to fight, and when the main force of the bandit army is defeated and flees northward, attack at the waist!"
The generals who were named sang promises, and Chen Sangliang named the names of Luo Shixin, Yuchi Jingde, Qiu Shili, Pang Yu, etc., and said: "You and I will lead the main force to take the mountain road to attack the enemy army's eastern interception position. Using real artillery, Du Ruhui and Li Zhengming are in charge of staying in the camp."
"Also." Chen Sangliang added with a smile: "Kill pigs and sheep, and prepare more delicious food and wine. Our teachers have worked hard these days, so we must prepare to reward them well."
