Life Winner Training Guide

Since Dugu Hong was not stopped, it means that Dugu Hong also has intentions.

So Wang Mi boldly put aside the original tactical goal of cooperation and began to gather military talents for his master!

The Xianbei people are strong and tough. If they are gathered under the lord, they will be another force. Moreover, Dugu Hong has his own soldiers and will not affect the interests of the generals under the lord.

If he does not strive for such credit, the "Flying Leopard" who was once famous in Luoyang is a fool.

Obviously, Wang Mi is not.

Finally, under Wang Mi's persuasion and Dugu Hong's reserve, the two sides agreed that Dugu clan would use the battle of Taihang Mountain as a gift of surrender, and You Hongyin would send troops to deal with other Hu people in Sizhou, and mark a stable place for the Xianbei people of Dugu clan to live, and there will be support in farming, weapons and other aspects.

You Hongyin had to make the final decision on the details, and Wang Mi only gave a general promise. He couldn't make the decision on his own.

After Wang Mi returned, Dugu Hong was relieved. Guo Xi was a very tolerant lord. He found a good backer for his tribe, and the pressure on him was reduced a lot. You know, it was too difficult to deal with Liu Yuan, who might attack with the strength behind him.

And You Hongyin's prediction was not wrong. After Wang Mi secretly brought the ambush troops, he waited for less than half a month. On a late autumn morning, when everyone was half asleep, someone suddenly attacked Taihang Guang.

Looking at the flag, it was Liu Cong, the King of Chu.

Wang Mi felt a sense of destiny. In fact, before Liu Yuan sent troops, no one knew who he would send, and Liu Cong happened to be the person the lord wanted to get rid of.

The lord's destiny was destined, and he could also get a glimpse of it from many corners.

"Order, continue to hide, everyone, be alert, hide yourself well, if you leak any trace, you will be charged with treason! The spies immediately investigate the specific number and formation of the enemy." Wang Mi signaled the messenger to pass the order.

Like his father, Liu Cong is a very good general. This time he has drawn 100,000 troops originally stationed in the direction of Bingzhou. Now 30,000 are attacking the pass, and another 70,000 will arrive later.

Wang Mi received the specific report from the spies and understood that Liu Cong's attack at this moment was just a test. This man is cunning and cautious, and will not order an attack on Taihang Pass when the army is exhausted.

Sure enough, the Dugu family guarding the pass had long been accustomed to this level of attack and easily dealt with it. Then, Liu Cong saw that the situation was almost over, so he asked the messenger to order a retreat.

Wang Mi saw this situation from the telescope and thought it was a good opportunity. He immediately said: "8,000 people on the left wing intercept the rear army, and the rest of the people will follow me."

Then Wang Mi's horse galloped out, and then the sound of thunder behind him.

Wang Mi, who was on horseback, saw that he had reached the range of the bow, and immediately drew his bow and arrow. The first arrow killed Liu Cong's messenger, and the second arrow directly shot off the general's flag.

Fei Baoer was not in vain.

Everyone on Liu Cong's side was shocked. No one expected that they would attack Taihang Pass, but they actually went beyond the city's garrison, and Dugu Hong also invited foreign aid to ambush. Could it be that there was a traitor in the army, and the enemy had already received the news and made defensive preparations early?

Liu Cong was very experienced, and immediately tried to calm his men's panic and organize a square formation to resist the cavalry's attack. In fact, the best way to deal with cavalry was cavalry, but because cavalry was useless for siege, the vanguard had only thousands of accompanying cavalry, and could not stop the enemy cavalry's attack at all, so Liu Cong had to organize the infantry into a square formation and use shields and spears to deal with the enemy.

But the speed was still too slow.

Because the messenger was killed, the soldiers attacking the city in front did not receive the detailed retreat order in advance. Although Liu Cong called back the troops, the soldiers who had already suffered serious deaths were in chaos. The retreat of the chaotic soldiers in the front also disrupted the rear. When the enemy cavalry rushed to the front, the square formation was still a mess.

The cavalry led by Liu Cong was mainly to guard the main tent. He did not want to let the chaos spread to the main army, so he simply ignored the chaotic infantry and began to mobilize the cavalry and archers near the main tent to attack the enemy cavalry from a distance, hoping to use this side pressure to reduce the enemy's killing power on the infantry and reduce casualties.

But who knew that Wang Mi was not interested in the fat meat that could be slaughtered at will and eaten as soon as it came to his mouth. He directly led his army to attack Liu Cong's main tent, and his goal was to capture the thief and the king, and kill the target that the lord wanted to eliminate!

Chapter 218: The Charm of Famous Scholars (Forty-Five)

The impact of tens of thousands of cavalry was an irresistible torrent. Liu Cong could never have imagined that he was just leading the vanguard troops to test the waters, but was caught by others at this fleeting flaw, completely tearing the front and rear armies apart, and turning himself into a country bumpkin trapped in a jar.

But, can Liu Cong be blamed for this?

No.

This attack on Taihang Pass was very confidential. At the beginning, it was a secret decree issued by the emperor's father. Later, from the transfer of troops to the leading of the troops to Taihang Pass, he did not even tell his subordinates what the real purpose was. It was not until he was dozens of miles away from Taihang Pass that he really announced the purpose of this march. Therefore, Liu Cong was caught off guard by a large number of ambushes hidden in the dark, and such elite cavalry.

As Wang Mi's cavalry charged, Duguhong in Taihang Pass also led Erlang to open the switch to meet the enemy, completely leaving the operation in chaos and evacuating the siege troops who were not in time.

Under attack from both sides, Liu Cong saw that the situation was not going well, and the soldiers around him were all loyal people, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, it is better for you to leave first. We still have 70,000 troops behind us. Bring some people over to cover this." A group of people is enough, but you must not get into trouble."

Liu Cong made a prompt decision and immediately took off his commander's robe, put on the same clothes as his soldiers, threw away his commander's flag, and ran towards the main force in the rear.

The coach left, causing his soldiers to immediately fall into chaos. They were fighting on their own. Even their initial blocking function could not be used, and they completely became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Liu Cong fled in a panic. Naturally, he only took a dozen or so soldiers with him, not too many or too many. In this chaotic environment, Liu Cong would not be hurt by others, and his actions were very coordinated and fast. Not a second is wasted.

Unexpectedly, just when Liu Cong was about to leave the battlefield and enter the dense forest, a powerful arrow suddenly struck from behind, penetrating the bodies of the two soldiers and piercing Liu Cong's chest with an arrow.

Seeing this, the other soldiers rushed forward. Some smart ones immediately turned around to see where the cold arrows were coming from. However, at first glance, they saw the figures of their own soldiers fleeing in all directions, and the perpetrators could not be seen.

"What to do?! The crossbow is poisonous!" shouted a junior soldier.

Seeing that the prince was dying, he didn't know what kind of poison it was. It was very powerful. Within a few breaths, Liu Cong's complexion began to turn blue and purple, and it was obvious that the poison had hit his heart.

The older one among the remaining soldiers said: "Let's go! We must escape. It will be disadvantageous to protect the prince, and let the prince be assassinated and die. Even if we go back, we will die."

Although many of the soldiers were indeed loyal to Liu Cong, these people were already dead. Compared with his own life, no amount of loyalty could be worth it.

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. The last soldier who was holding Liu Cong, who was almost out of breath, cried twice, slowly let go of his hand, touched his tears, and said, "But where to escape? "

"Bring a few corpses, put them on our clothes, shave them off, and throw them wherever you want." The old soldier sighed: "Some of us must still have relatives in the Han Dynasty. , if we are found running away, I am afraid it will harm our family, let them think that we are dead."

At this time, other than their own lives, the others finally thought of the people at home. After hearing the idea, they all nodded immediately and started looking for the bodies.

Nothing is lacking on the battlefield except dead men.

Wang Mi managed to disperse King Chu's army. However, upon closer inspection, he found that the cunning King Chu had escaped and disappeared. Wang Mi was not in a good mood, but he could not be ignored on the battlefield. He immediately led his troops back to aid Duguhong. Completely devouring all 30,000 enemy vanguard troops.

After more than half of the 3,000 Han cavalry originally escorting the Chinese army's camp were lost, the cavalry commander immediately abandoned his friendly troops and used the cavalry's excellent mobility to escape.

The siege launched by the Han Kingdom ended quickly under such circumstances.

Soon, the eight thousand cavalry on the left wing sent by Wang Mi to block the enemy's rear army came back.

The 70,000 Han rear troops were caught off guard, and nearly 1,000 of them were killed by the 8,000 cavalry. However, the opponent's cavalry immediately came up to hedge. Seeing that the enemy's front army had been almost wiped out, the left wing vanguard felt that it was not cost-effective to hedge against each other, so they quickly withdrew. The other party was probably afraid of an ambush, and the cavalry did not dare to pursue them, so the left-wing cavalry retreated calmly. ◇◇

Eight thousand people dealt with hundreds of people with some injuries, and only a dozen people died. It can be said that it was a great victory. Wang Mi was already prepared to suffer heavy losses. After all, eight thousand people faced an enemy of 70,000. It was really a great victory. It's a hugely disparate number.

"Ignore the 70,000 people for now, General Dugu, organize the manpower to clean up the battlefield." Wang Mi said: "There are still tough battles to be fought behind."

Wang Mi mistakenly thought that King Liu Cong of Chu had escaped and survived. As long as he returned to the army, he would lead the remaining 70,000 troops to attack. He only had 30,000 cavalry in his hands, so he could not help much in the defense of the city, and Dugu Hong had There are only fifteen thousand generals guarding the city, and Taihang Pass is not a city. If you really want to play dirty tricks, there are still many ways to think of. So Wang Mi was a little worried.

"The spies went to investigate the situation," Duguhong said: "Seventy thousand troops cannot attack Taihang Pass, otherwise the reputation of the most powerful pass in the world will be wasted."

"General Dugu thinks they will send more troops?" Wang Mi asked.

Duguhong said: "Yes, so I also ask the general to ask Guo Shijun for help."

Yanzhou is not far from here. If Wang Mi asks for reinforcements, the reinforcements should arrive faster than those from Han.

Wang Mi said: "Don't worry, General Dugu. If the situation is really urgent, I will definitely ask for help. These cavalry I have brought out now are my lord's heart and soul. If they are damaged, I am afraid I will be heartbroken."

However, both Wang Mi and Duguhong did send spies respectively, waiting for the battlefield to be cleaned and for the spies to report back their intelligence.

Who knows, spies will come soon: "The Han army has withdrawn!"

Duguhong didn't know what was going on, but Wang Mi reacted immediately and immediately went to see the corpses of the Han soldiers.

Sure enough, Liu Cong's body was found.

When Wang Mi saw that his face was purple, he was obviously poisoned. He understood that Heming probably arranged people in the Han army. Maybe his position was not very high, so he could only take advantage of the chaos to assassinate him.

A big stone was put down in his heart, and Wang Mi said: "Congratulations to General Dugu for his great achievement."

Now that the battle of Taihang Pass is over, not only did they defeat the Han army and wipe out 30,000 people, but they also killed Liu Yuan's fourth son, Liu Cong, the King of Chu. Dugu Hong's surrender is very important, and the lord will definitely reward him.

After the war, in addition to sending a victory report, Dugu Hong also held a grand celebration ceremony. The Xianbei people, like most grassland tribes, can sing and dance well. The so-called celebration ceremony is a bonfire party.

Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else attended the party, but Wang Mi and Dugu Hong were worried about accidents, so they left more soldiers on duty.

But these two people were drunk, and Wang Mi was bragging to Dugu Hong about the benefits of being a soldier under the lord.

"Although it is forbidden to take empty salaries, the food and salary are sufficient, not only can I eat a full stomach, but also enough to support the whole family."

"There are rewards and bounties for winning battles, and the military rank will be upgraded. The amount of salary is directly linked to the military rank."

"If the merits are enough, you will become a leader and the welfare benefits will be better. There are gifts for festivals, such as bath beans,
