Chapter 379 (1/2)
Besides, it's really not good. You can also go east. This will directly enter the Liaohe plain, where there is a vast farmland. Wei ran as long as he is cruel, he doesn't worry about food and clothing at all. He can also destroy it wantonly and find a lot of unhappiness for yeluabao.
So he waited for work with ease, held two mountain roads with 3000 troops, and then rushed to help with 2000 troops as a reserve mobile force at any time.
Yeluabaoji saw the formation arranged by Wei Ran. After exploring the geographical environment, he found that there was only one way to fight a decisive battle in the mountains. Unless he is willing to return to Yingzhou, he can enter the Liaoxi corridor from the Daling River, that is, the White Wolf water to the south.
However, after looking at the hot-air balloon overhead, the movement of our side must be observed by the other side. If a partial army is sent to bypass, it is easy to be known by the other party in advance, so as to withdraw.
Yelv abaoji would never suffer such a big loss. After thinking about it, he had to force the other party from the front to create pressure, not give the Fenglin army the chance to retreat easily, and then wait until the partial army is arrogant, Linghe goes to the corridor in western Liaoning, detours behind the Fenglin Army, and attacks back and forth!
Several hot-air balloons overhead had appeared in Li Chengye's army, which frightened Khitan's army. However, because of this, Qidan soldiers and horses are basically used to the existence of hot-air balloons and are not afraid.
Of course, Wei Ran found the transfer of Qidan soldiers and horses. At this time, he had two choices.
First, withdraw immediately! With his skill in Mountain Warfare, he can defeat the enemy in the mountain path first, and then retreat calmly on horseback to ensure that the other party can leave at any time before dismantling the stronghold in the middle of the mountain path.
Second, continue to entangle, wait to be surrounded by the other party, and then finally be besieged and defeated.
Wei Ran has dealt a heavy blow to the economy of Qidan people in western Liaoning. They can only return to Liaohe plain or Eastern Liaoning. However, if the troops are not lost, they still have the capital to invade. Therefore, it is necessary to find an opportunity to give them effective forces and kill them a lot.
Although Yelv Baoji's division of troops is cruel, it also reveals flaws. Since you divide troops, I'll accept it!
In the daytime, after the Khitan troops divided, the main force immediately attacked the military stronghold arranged between the two mountain roads. With such urgent actions, Wei Ran naturally saw that the other party wanted to put pressure on his own side and make it difficult for his own side to retreat calmly.
But under the observation of hot-air balloon, the actual situation and trend of Khitan's attack were clearly seen by Wei Ran. The mountain roads are tortuous and narrow, and it is not easy to arrange large siege equipment.
The strong attack of the Khitan army, although fierce, did not achieve the desired results under Wei Ran's targeted defense. Instead, Wei Ran's Fenglin army, who was good at Mountain Warfare, took advantage of their rotation interval, fought a counterattack and almost killed all the way to the camp in front of Qidan.
Yelu Abao was shocked by his fierce combat effectiveness. He secretly lamented that there were indeed a large number of talents in the Tang Dynasty. This young general who has become famous in recent years really deserves his name, has clear command and scheduling, and is mobile in combat. In this mountain battle, even if his troops and horses are several times higher than each other, he is not sure of victory.
After nightfall, yelyabao took advantage of the number of people to rotate the troops who attacked the city in the daytime, suffered heavy casualties and demoralized. He launched another attack at night and exerted pressure to prevent Wei ran from easily withdrawing his troops. At the same time, he was also tired of Fenglin army.
However, since Wei Ran saw through Yelv's idea of protecting the machine during the day, he naturally made targeted arrangements long ago.
When the troops who fought back in the daytime pursued the chaos, in fact, they divided thousands of troops at the two mountain roads and hid into the forest land in the mountains.
At that time, the flaw in the rotation of Khitan troops was caught by the attacking Fenglin army. They were killed crying for their father and mother. They retreated all the way and were in great confusion. So that Yelu abaoji was dispatching troops to deal with the tension at that time. He didn't notice that Wei Ran had hidden two thousand troops in the mountains and forests.
