Chapter 1025 Spring and Autumn Period
Fei Qian didn''t expect that thousands of miles away, Lu Bu inadvertently disrupted Zhang Yan''s overall layout, and even directly ruined the good situation of Zhang Yan''s Black Mountain Army in one breath, causing Zhang Yan to have to resist Lu Bu''s crazy attack. , while gathering the soldiers who were defeated and scattered by Lu Bu, they slowly retreated to Montenegro.
As for the commanders of the Black Mountains who suggested waiting a few more days to get more supplies, they regretted it so much that their intestines were green, but what could be done?
? Zhang Yan was also helpless. If he had been tougher at that time, or even forced the order regardless, he might have been able to avoid these losses. However, in this world, if there were regret medicine to take, there would not be so many regrets.
??For Zhang Yan, now the plan to move to Yinshan has to be put on hold temporarily, and he has to deal with Lu Bu''s fierce pursuit...
?For Fei Qian, it is natural that he does not know what happened to the Black Mountain Army. There has been no movement for a long time, so the original arrangement cannot take effect.
From this point of view, I don’t know whether Lu Bu’s actions are helping or not helping...
In Jia Xu''s estimation, the Black Mountain Army should have started taking action after receiving the news that Fei Qian had arrived in Yinshan. Only in this way could the Black Mountain Army maximize its benefits. However, there was no trace of the Black Mountain Army after waiting and waiting. Even Jia Qu sent a fast horse to ask Fei Qian whether any adjustments and changes were needed in the next steps.
"...Let Liang Dao stand still..." Fei lurked in the big tent, looking at the map densely marked with the locations of various troops placed in the middle of the big tent and said, "...Heishan will come back sooner or later, they will not give up such an opportunity...otherwise they would have Everything you do has no meaning..."
Xun Chen nodded in agreement and said: "What the Lord said is true... In my opinion, the Black Mountain Army has not shown up yet. Firstly, it may be that they are living in the mountains and have not received the news yet. Secondly, there may be some delay." I don’t know yet... After all, it rained heavily a few days ago, and the roads in the mountains may also be covered with mud and rocks... But since the Black Mountain Army has not arrived yet, there will be at least three days here..."
After Xun Chen finished speaking, he looked at Fei Qian.
On the battlefield, time differences are common, but...
Since there is no news about the Montenegrin Army from Jia Qu and Cui Jun, then most of the Montenegrin Army must not have appeared yet, and the small group of Heishan troops that disappeared into the ravines of the mountainous area have not been seen without most of the Montenegrin Army. With the support, even if he rushed out, in front of the troops led by Fei Qian, he would be a piece of cake and not enough to look at.
So now, even if the cavalry sent by Jia Qu''s front foot messenger has just left, the Black Mountain Army will appear on the back foot. It will take at least three days until the Montenegro Army appears near Yinshan. This is still fast. If the Montenegro Army moves slower, It might take five days, so if Fei Qian concentrates his forces to defeat the Xianbei attack from Yinshan within these three days, then even if the Black Mountain Army arrives, they won''t be able to gain any advantage.
?So now, it is Fei Qian''s choice whether to take the initiative to attack this part of Xianbei coming from Yinshan...
The previous delay was actually due to many factors.
??In addition to waiting for Ma Yue and Yu Fuluo to flank the army on the one hand, the other aspect is also to attract. This attraction not only refers to the Montenegrin army, but also attracts Xianbei, this part of the Yinshan Mountains.
??Everyone wants to take advantage. This has nothing to do with good or evil. It is human nature. However, through acquired experience and learning, some people understand that some advantages may not be easy to take advantage of...
Originally, the Montenegro Army was definitely going to take advantage of Fei Qian''s battle with Xianbei, so Fei Qian simply did the opposite and deliberately came to Yinshan with great fanfare, while secretly setting up an ambush against the Montenegro Army. , as long as the Black Mountain Army appears, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
?Similarly, if the news about the appearance of the Black Mountain Army behind Fei Qian reaches the ears of Xianbei in Yinshan, will the Xianbei people in this part of Yinshan be gentlemen who will never do anything to take advantage of the situation?
?The troops from Yinshan and Xianbei probably also want to attack Fei Qian''s camp while Fei Qian is busy fighting the Black Mountain Army from the rear...
As we all know, the combat effectiveness of cavalry on grassland plains is far greater than that of attacking castles and camps. If the cavalry can exert 100% or 120% of its power on flat ground, which is a suitable place for galloping, then when the cavalry wants to forcibly attack a camp or city, often only 60% is left. , and even less combat effectiveness. As for the farming people, they are obviously more confident and better at defending camps and cities than fighting in open fields.
Therefore, in comparison, Fei Qian would rather the Xianbei cavalry in the Yinshan Mountains could not bear the temptation and turned around to attack his own camp. In this way, the Xianbei cavalry invading from the Yinshan Mountains would be completely destroyed and there would be no possibility of escape.
Now, as the situation changes, is it necessary to make partial adjustments?
Fei Qian frowned and looked back and forth across the map.
When Fei Qian and Xun Chen were chatting leisurely before, they mentioned the so-called clever plan. Later, both of them thought that this was a relatively pure fantasy. The battlefield situation was ever-changing. Just think now, Jia Xu''s plan before was not It''s not perfect, but it still needs adjustments and changes. It''s impossible to follow the so-called original strategy.
??The only way the so-called tips and tricks may be more reliable is when the war situation changes to the worst, and it can be used to point out the way to escape.
So now, should Fei Qian change his original plan and actively seek a decisive battle with Yinshan? Of course, this means that Fei Qian must take more risks than the original plan, and it also means that he may have to pay more soldiers'' lives. And we also have to consider whether this part of Yinshan Xianbei is willing to cooperate...
……………
To the north of the Feiqian camp, on the bank of an unknown shallow river in the Yinshan grassland, a large group of Feiqian cavalry is stationed here. There are many shallow rivers like this in the land of Yinshan. It is precisely because of such environmental conditions that such a rich land is created.
Although they are about to face a war, the soldiers, especially the veterans of Bingzhou who have participated in many battles, do not appear to be too nervous. They still do whatever they need to do, and some are farming in the lower reaches of the shallow river. Some of the horses are mixing some fine materials to feed them, and some have nothing to do and just lie on the grass with their horses, chattering so much that they don’t know what they are saying to their horses...
??The sun was warm but not very bright near noon. It was also the season of the year when plants grew wildly. Even the half-lying war horse couldn''t help but take a few bites on the grass nearby.
Most of Feiqian''s main cavalry force is about ten miles away from the main camp, not far nor close, a moderate distance.
Fifty or sixty miles ahead, scouts were spread out like a net. It was daytime again. Even if there was no small slope, standing on horseback, one could clearly see the movement of smoke and dust hundreds of miles away. Therefore, here The Fei submarine cavalry unit was somewhat peaceful before the war.
??But even if the surrounding area was safe, Zhao Yun did not relax at this time. He still wore his armor, but took off his helmet and sat on a big rock. Zhao Yun''s exhaustion from galloping long distances in the past few days has not been reflected at all on Zhao Yun. His body is still full of vitality. Even if he is sitting quietly, he is like a lying cheetah, which may explode at any time. It''s like running like lightning.
?Two or three personal guards who followed Zhao Yun sat around Zhao Yun. The veteran with half an ear looked at the surrounding Bingzhou cavalry and couldn''t help but sigh: "These are all good soldiers... You can see, tsk tsk... a fight is about to begin, but look at this posture, there is not even the slightest bit of There is no tension or panic at all..."
?Zhao Yun smiled faintly but said nothing.
?Another guard took up the topic and also smiled and said: "It sounds like you are so experienced. I still remember that time when we went down the mountain to fight, I don''t know who peed his crotch..."
Ban Er became angry and said: "Who doesn''t have a first time? I don''t believe how much you can endure in the first time. Besides, on the mountain..."
?Zhao Yun coughed slightly.
Several guards realized something, so they closed their mouths and stopped talking.
Zhao Yun lowered his head and sighed inaudibly. He was about to say something when suddenly the sound of hoofbeats of some war horses came from the distance, and the soldiers immediately cheered and shouted: "The general is here! The general is here! "
Zhao Yun looked up and saw that Fei Qian had come on horseback with a group of personal guards. Behind him, a three-color battle flag was flying high in the air...
Fei sneaked up close, easily dismounted, threw the horse''s reins to the bodyguards on the side, and walked over with a smile while pointing at a Bingzhou veteran who came forward and said: "Old Niutou , You did a good job last time! I heard that you also used iron wire to trick the barbarians, which is interesting! "
The scout Lao Niu, who didn''t have his turn to go out to inquire, was so happy that he didn''t know where to put his hands and feet. He was usually eloquent, but at this moment, he didn''t know what to say. He just grinned innocently, Nothing to say.
Fei Qian laughed, patted Lao Niu''s shoulder, and then raised his voice and said to the soldiers who were surrounding him after hearing the sound: "Okay, don''t come close. There are three straight baggage trucks behind you, and there are some for you." , there are also some good materials for the big guys, call your commander and go get it quickly! It’s too late, it’s all gone, don’t say I was delayed!”
Fei Qian said casually, and the surrounding soldiers also laughed, and then they dispersed to find their own team leaders or commanders, and went to the back to collect supplies.
Lao Niu also bent down and saluted Fei Qian. He was about to walk out, but he stopped and whispered: "General...are you about to start a fight?"
Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How? Are you afraid?"
Lao Niu patted his chest and said, "I''ve been looking forward to this day for a long time! General, just keep an eye on it!"
Seeing Fei Qian smile and nod in appreciation, Lao Niu left happily.
Veterans naturally have the acumen of veterans, and there is no use hiding it. Just like many places, no matter how poor or embarrassed they are, they will try their best to find a good meal before the war. Now that supplies arrive, it probably means that the war is about to begin...
??Zhao Yun walked up, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I have met the king."
Fei Qian nodded and said, "Zilong, no courtesy. How is the situation here?"
"One thousand seven hundred Bingzhou cavalry and one thousand five hundred Hu cavalry are all ready and ready to go at any time..." Zhao Yun said with cupped hands, not a single bit stuck, "Now a total of twelve teams of scouts have been sent out, spreading over sixty miles. In addition, I come back and report every hour. So far, no trace of Xianbei has been found..."
Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu''s troops and more than a thousand cavalry were withdrawn to the rear for repairs. They were also used as an important support force to prevent the invasion of the Black Mountain Army. Therefore, this part of the cavalry on the front line is Fei Qian''s main cavalry currently used to deal with Xianbei. The cavalry is strong.
Fei Qian saw that Zhao Yun had made it clear and the arrangements were safe, so he walked forward, motioning for Zhao Yun to follow him, and walked to an area with fewer soldiers nearby. Fei Qian''s personal guards spread out in all directions, leaving an area for the two of them to discuss.
Fei Qian raised his head and looked into the distance, was silent for a while, and then said: "In this battle, Zilong has completely escaped the traces of Black Mountain... I wonder if Zilong has any thoughts in his heart?"
??The wind on the grassland blew past. Although it was not strong, it seemed to blow through Zhao Yun''s body, making Zhao Yun feel a little chilly...
Montenegro, a once prestigious name, now seems to be coming to an end. For Zhao Yun, who was once a member of Montenegro, it would be a lie to say that he has no ideas at all. Regarding this matter, it is inevitable I feel some sadness lingering in my heart.
Zhao Yun was originally a taciturn person, but now that Fei Qian spoke his mind, he suddenly felt a little sad. Looking at Fei Qian standing in front with his back to him, he didn''t know what to say for a moment. He just lowered his head and remained silent. language.
Fei Qian slowly turned around, looked at Zhao Yun''s expression, then stretched out his hand, patted Zhao Yun''s shoulder, and said: "Zilong, look, you and I are standing here now, and these soldiers around us are also here. Here, however, maybe the next moment, maybe the next day, these people will go in different directions...The path of life is like this, but sometimes you can''t help it, sometimes you have to make your own choices..."
At this moment, Fei Qian stood upright with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhao Yun, as if looking through Zhao Yun at the mysterious future ahead, his eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "... Zilong, do you know that Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan?"
