Chapter 1411: Confused and Disoriented, Using Troops Like a God!
Today's first update: Chapter 1411! 1/2!
…
Four crossings of the Sanggan River, Bai Qi relied on hundreds of thousands of troops to fool the hundreds of millions of troops of the Wolf Tribe stationed on the north bank of the Sanggan River!
Also fooled were Xu Kun and others who were in the Sanggan River.
Relying on the spies in the Sanggan River, Xu Kun first learned about the traces of Bai Qi's army when the Changlin Army was surrounded in the Hunyuan area!
Through the feedback from the small fish and shrimp over there, he learned about the movements of the Changlin Army pretending to be the main force.
The Changlin Army is not only brave, but also named Changlin, which means that there are more wood-type talents in this army!
Therefore, when they deliberately expose their positions, it is difficult to figure out the number of the other side at once!
As the saying goes: every tree and grass is an enemy!
The Changlin Army, with less than 10,000 people, with the cooperation of various wooden dummies, made the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops.
When Xu Kun learned that the "Bai Qi Corps" entered the Hunyuan area, his brows furrowed.
Because from the map, it can be clearly seen that the Hunyuan area is surrounded by mountains on three sides!
Since ancient times, great powers who are good at military formations have sorted out twenty military taboos!
Among them, including Han Xin's glorious record of fighting with his back to the water, it has always been imitated, but few people succeeded. The four words "fighting with your back to the water" naturally became one of the military taboos!
Not everyone is Han Xin, who can rely on a weak brigade to fight with his back to the water and solve an army several times larger than his own!
Xu Kun didn't think that Bai Qi would not know this military taboo, so why did he enter the Hunyuan area with great fanfare...
Did he plan to be like Han Xin in the past, knowing that he had few troops, and then entered the encirclement, so he planned to complete the battle with his back to the water that few people succeeded in?
To be precise, in the Hunyuan area, it was a battle with his back to the mountain!
If the number of enemies is within a limit, even if it is five times the enemy, based on Xu Kun's judgment of Bai Qi's personal bravery and military talent, it feels that the battle behind the mountain has a high probability of success!
It can be found through intelligence that although the tens of millions of troops that encircled and suppressed Bai Qi's army did not all come, there are still millions of people!
That is ten times the enemy. It can be seen that the wolf tribe is also afraid of fraud, so they did not completely shrink the encirclement.
But if Xu Kun is the commander of the wolf army, when he has ten times the enemy's troops, there is no need to rush.
The art of war says: ten times the encirclement!
Whether it is a siege or a positional battle, ten times the number of people, this battle is simply too rich.
If the two armies are facing each other on the plain, it is possible that the enemy will find a weak point to break through.
But the key is that Bai Qi led the army into the pocket formation, which is equivalent to cutting off his own retreat. Then as long as the pocket is tightened, the fish and shrimp inside will only have the life of jumping!
The Wolf Army didn't need to rush at all, and didn't even need to fight with the other side for morale. They just needed to set up a defensive formation and wait for the other side's morale to decline and collapse without fighting!
And the fact was just as Xu Kun expected. The Wolf Army was not all mediocre. No matter what purpose Bai Qi led the army for, as long as the Wolf Army took steady steps and trapped the enemy in the Hunyuan area, it would be solved sooner or later!
At that time, Xu Kun was very anxious. He couldn't understand why Bai Qi would fall into the trap, but he couldn't watch Bai Qi's army perish, so he immediately led his men to the Hunyuan area!
However, before they advanced eastward in the Sanggan River to reach the landing site, a scout from the Sanggan River reported that Bai Qi's army crossed the river at night and was already attacking the wolf tribe ambush on the north bank!
What the hell?
Xu Kun, who was just about to land, was dumbfounded, but after a while, he thought he had figured out Bai Qi's strategy!
Abandon the car to protect the general, make a feint to the east and attack the west!
The so-called main force that entered the Hunyuan area was just a step of abandonment. Although this was inhumane, as long as it could contain the main force of the enemy's encirclement and buy time for its main force to break through, that was enough!
Sometimes, a general cannot be soft-hearted and sacrifice the small to protect the big in order to achieve the effect later!
This group of pretended main forces that entered the Hunyuan area can rely on the terrain to hold on for a long time, and the real main force can take advantage of the enemy's slackness when the enemy thinks that they have forced themselves into a desperate situation and penetrate another encirclement of the enemy again!
In the case of fast beating slow, plus it was at night, Bai Qi's army had a high probability of breaking through and returning to Yanmen Pass while retaining the main force!
Although the bait in the Hunyuan area would be paid, it was much better than the annihilation of the whole army!
After understanding this, Xu Kun also quickly led people back to help, intending to cooperate with Bai Qi's army to break through and return to Yanmen Pass!
However, he had just brought people to the south bank of the Sanggan River, which was full of smoke, but found that it was deserted!
Equally dumbfounded were all the ambush troops on the south bank who heard the news and set up their positions to try to stop Bai Qi's army from breaking out!
Xu Kun and his men fought a battle with these ambush troops, but they didn't want to fight and hid in the Sanggan River again.
Where did Bai Qi go?
Both sides were thinking about this question. Halfway through the breakout, he turned around and left. Where could he go?
First of all, we have to rule out one answer: Hunyuan area!
Because no matter Xu Kun or the commander of the Wolf Army, they have already assumed that the Changlin Army that entered the Hunyuan area is a discarded pawn. Even the Changlin Army, from the commander Ying Bu to the ordinary soldiers, knew that they would not survive this time!
The Changlin Corps was originally composed of prisoners who survived through constant fighting. For these people, death is the least worth mentioning. Knowing that they will die, ordinary armies will lose faith because of fear of death, start to abandon themselves, and even blow up the camp!
But when the Changlin Corps knew that they were at a dead end, they had only one idea, that is, to kill one to protect their capital, kill two to make a profit, and they wanted to compete on who could kill more enemy troops before dying!
Going down to Jiuyou, they also have the capital to brag!
Therefore, according to Bai Qi's original arrangement, the Changlin Corps, with less than 10,000 people, burst out with a combat power comparable to hundreds of thousands of people!
This group of people is simply crazy!
Even with an advantage of hundreds of times the strength, millions of wolf troops were dizzy for a while!
The frontline positions collapsed again and again, and were almost torn open by the opponent!
Fortunately, under the leadership of the Wolf Army's semi-saint commander, all the Wolf Army stood firm and set up a defensive formation. After several hours of fighting, they repelled the Changlin Army's wave after wave of offensives!
At the end of the fight, there were less than 2,000 people left in the entire Changlin Army. It was not that the attack of the surrounding Wolf Army was too fierce, but that every soldier who died in the Changlin Army fell on the road to advance!
With his bravery, the Changlin Army made the surrounding enemy troops sure that this was the main force at the beginning, but after multiple investigations, until they learned that Bai Qi's main force had crossed the Sanggan River, the surrounding Wolf Army was dumbfounded again!
What the hell? Less than 10,000 people, and we dared not move here?
What a joke!
The Wolf Army commanders, who felt their IQ was insulted, began to give orders, constantly advancing, compressing the enemy's action space, and swallowing up these thousands of fearless people!
After all, the Wolf Army itself is strong, and the tens of millions of people who formed the encirclement were not all transferred to the Hunyuan area, so there was no rush to mobilize these millions of people. Although they failed to swallow the main force of the enemy in one bite, this team of thousands of people was so brave that they were definitely the elite troops of Yanmen Pass. We won't lose if we swallowed them steadily!
The Hunyuan area was left for both sides to play with. The North Bank Wolf Clan began to send spies to find other directions and try to find the traces of Bai Qi's main force.
But sometimes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is!
Who would have thought that Bai Qi's main force, who had abandoned the Changlin Legion, would make a comeback?
It's like you wet the entrance of the cave, and you could have thrust your spear straight in, but you suddenly changed to a dry hole and poked it in!
Is this reasonable?
Will it work?
How can you fight like this?
The Wolf Clan had three consecutive questions, and Xu Kun also had three consecutive questions.
Xu Kun guessed that Bai Qi felt that it was difficult to break through the encirclement because he saw the ambush troops on the south bank surrounding him, so he looked for other weak points in defense to break through!
The Wolf Army looked like a Muggle, and did not make any effective deployment at all!
One word: Find it for me!
The Bai Qi Army was like a fly, flying around the north bank. Although it could not bite people to death, it was very annoying!
When they thoroughly understood the whereabouts of Bai Qi's main force, the high-level leaders of the Wolf Army and Xu Kun were dumbfounded!
Some things you have to believe, some people just like to do extreme operations to live and die!
Facing the encirclement of millions of people, they came to counter-encirclement!
The so-called mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind, the Hunyuan area is a pocket formation, then the Changlin Army is the bait, the millions of troops are the big fish on the hook, and the Bai Qi main force is the fishing net!
Once the net is down, it is a big fish!
Millions of wolf troops were penetrated, the front army didn't know what happened, and the rear army had already collapsed!
The defeat was like a landslide. Bai Qi's second crossing of Sanggan caught the siege army by surprise!
It also taught a good lesson to the Wolf Army leaders and Xu Kun.
Even Han Xin, who lived in Xu Kun's sea of consciousness, exclaimed that it was beautiful. Bai Qi used the four words "taking risks" to the extreme!
All of a sudden, the Wolf Clan leaders were shocked. They received reports from scouts that after Bai Qi's main force had dispersed millions of troops, it stayed in place and did not move!
Logically speaking, at this time, it would be enough to send another army to encircle and suppress!
But for some things, you can't make a calm judgment from a God's perspective. You have to consider the changes in people's hearts!
What the Wolf Army leaders thought was, what we can think of, the other party can't think of?
Just relying on this second crossing of Sanggan, we were fooled around. Will the other party stay there stupidly and wait for us to encircle and suppress?
There is a trick! There must be a trick!
The Wolf Clan leaders unanimously believed that the Bai Qi army, which seemed to be stationed in the Hunyuan area, was luring them to attack!
Sometimes, it is better to be simple!
The self-proclaimed smart wolf clan leaders thought that Bai Qi was stationed in the same place and was plotting something, so if they didn't want to be fooled, then we wouldn't move!
Adhering to the principle that it is not wrong to do nothing, but more mistakes to do more!
You can't be impatient to hit a fly. You have to wait until the fly has no strength to fly before slapping it!
Although Bai Qi played tricks on the wolf clan leaders, the troops were there, so he could only disgust them. If he really wanted to hurt himself...
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
This kind of cold treatment naturally hit Bai Qi's heart. What he wanted was that you would keep your troops still so that he could surrender!
Hundreds of thousands of wolf soldiers were forced to surrender, which greatly expanded the vitality of Bai Qi's army!
Bai Qi, who was supplemented with soldiers, naturally didn't have to live a tight life like before. He set out with a large army, crossed the Sanggan River again, and headed for the south bank!
In fact, at this time, after discussing with Han Xin, Xu Kun roughly understood that Bai Qi was playing the empty city plan.
Not to mention, even if the high-level Wolf Army did not admit it verbally, they must be afraid of Bai Qi in their hearts, so they did not send the army to the Hunyuan area again, but built an encirclement from a distance, trying to suffocate this fly in their pockets!
Han Xin and Xu Kun judged that once Bai Qi completed the surrender, the troops would be greatly supplemented. Millions of troops, as long as they were used well, could break the encirclement!
The facts were also different from the two people's guesses, but there was only one difference. They wondered why Bai Qi crossed the river openly, giving the ambushes on the south bank a chance to attack him halfway across the river!
The casualties in this way were very heavy!
Just crossing the river, hundreds of thousands of troops were lost!
And the south bank, after knowing that Bai Qi led his army to cross the river, had already built dozens of defense lines, not giving Bai Qi any chance to break through.
Xu Kun, who had planned to keep up with Bai Qi, stopped halfway.
Something was wrong, something was very wrong!
He sincerely felt that this was not in line with Bai Qi's previous style of using troops!
Even if Bai Qi chose a dark and windy night to break out, he would feel a little more normal, but with such a big fanfare, even if you double the troops, you may not be able to successfully break out of the encirclement!
What he could think of, Bai Qi couldn't think of?
I don't know if the wolf tribe knows it, but their response to Bai Qi's three crossings of Sanggan is to take steady steps!
As long as we don't make mistakes, we won't make mistakes!
To this day, the high-level leaders of the Wolf Army still feel that their own troops have an absolute advantage. As long as all the rear troops in the Maowusu Desert come to Shanyin, Yanmen Pass will be lost under the bombing!
With such a military advantage, it is the most unwise to take risks!
But they don't understand that sometimes, war is not just about brains or soldiers' combat effectiveness, but about people's hearts!
Rather than saying that Bai Qi used his military skills to cross the Sanggan River three times, it is better to say that he thoroughly understood the little thoughts of the wolf clan leaders!
I know that you dare not take risks, so I dare to dance on the tip of the knife!
I don’t want the hundreds of thousands of troops that I just surrendered!
If you can bite the hook once, then I will let you bite the hook a second time, and this time I will use the meat cut from you to feed you wolf cubs!
Let’s fight!
It is not possible to cross the river with millions of troops in one go. When the surrendered soldiers had landed, the real main force of Bai Qi had not yet landed!
When the battle broke out on the south bank and the sight was all tied up by the surrendered soldiers who crossed the river first, Bai Qi once again quietly led the main force that had not yet completely crossed the river and went north!
Leaving hundreds of thousands of people on the south bank to attract firepower, he was going to do a big job!
The high-ranking officials of the Wolf Army fell into the trap again, because they were already irritated by Bai Qi, and they would not bully others like this. So after confirming that Bai Qi led all the troops to cross the Sanggan River to the south this time, they stopped waiting!
One more thing, the Fen River and Sanggan River flooded, submerging the route of the Wolf Army heading east, and Shenchikou was bombed, and the time for the subsequent main forces of the Wolf Army to arrive would be delayed again!
We can't wait any longer. Since Bai Qi's main force is on the banks of the Sanggan River, let's go all in.
We want Bai Qi's army and Yanmen Pass!
We help the army squeeze together, and see how you can break through one by one!
It must be said that Xu Kun's strategy of bombing Shenchikou helped Bai Qi's plan succeed from the side!
The high-ranking officials of the Wolf Clan could no longer sit still. Their backyard was on fire, but the front army was dawdling here. How long would it take to take down Yanmen Pass?
Their goal is not just the Great Wall Base City, which only has a small corner left!
They want to swallow up the whole of China!
The entire army will press south, cross the Sanggan River, occupy all positions on the south bank, and attack Yanmen Pass!
This is exactly what Bai Qi wants to see!
