Chapter 1542 like entering a land of no one
The attack by the Bingzhou Army happened very suddenly, and the Xianbei people were completely unaware of it. At that time, the entire Xianbei people's royal court Shengle was in chaos. The tribes fled and pursued, almost everyone had something to do, and they never stopped all night.
The Bingzhou Army's attack was launched at dawn. All four cavalry battalions attacked and entered the Xianbei camp at the same time from four directions.
Since the entire Shengle was an unguarded camp, the Bingzhou army's attack was almost unhindered, and even the commander of the operation, Yang Hu, was surprised.
After all, when the Bingzhou army left Yanmen Pass, the defection of the Xianbei tribes had not yet begun. After a night of raid, the Bingzhou army arrived at Shengle. It was the most chaotic time of the Xianbei people. The Bingzhou army took advantage of the opportunity and entered the situation like a bamboo shoot.
This full-scale attack by the Bingzhou Army was Cao Liang's move to another big move after burning the forage farm. The forage farm was burned. Although there was no problem with the supply of food for the Xianbei people in a short period of time, the chaos caused by this was irreversible. Cao Liang decided to take advantage of the situation to defeat Shengle in one fell swoop, and completely solve the problem of the Xianbei people who had suffered for hundreds of years.
However, during the operation, Cao Liang showed no signs. Even if the Xianbei people sent countless scouts to detect the whistle, they could not find out the true intentions of the Bingzhou Army.
Cao Liang either did not take action, and he would catch the Xianbei people off guard if he wanted to take action, just like a sneak attack on a forage farm. With one hit, the Xianbei people didn't even have time to react.
This time, Cao Liang's move was even more fierce, and he directly suppressed all the four major cavalry battalions of Yueqi Camp, Tunqi Camp, Xiaoqi Camp and Ruiqi Camp. The infantry camp and Xiandeng Camp also went out of the frontier. Cao Liang devoted all his strength this time to give the Xianbei the heaviest blow.
Deng Ai served as the commander-in-chief of the raid and unified command of the four major cavalry battalions. Although he used sneak attack methods, Deng Ai still adopted an extremely cautious attitude towards the attack and used it as a tough task.
After all, the Xianbei people are said to have 300,000 cavalrymen. Such a huge number of enemies, even if they fall asleep, they are also a snoring tiger. Deng Ai must prepare for a tough battle without ensuring that one blow is fatal.
Therefore, in the tactical arrangement, Deng Ai decided to divide troops into four groups, and the Tunqi Camp and the Yueqi Camp adopted a frontal attack, the Xiaoqi Camp and the Ruiqi Camp redirected from the flanks, forcibly breaking through, disrupting the Xianbei camps as much as possible, and dividing and surrounding them, so that the Xianbei people did not know how many troops the Bingzhou army sent and won the victory in the chaos.
Deng Ai is smart and good at making strange strategies. He is a real tactical master. There are many people in Xianbei, but due to the accident in the forage farm, he is now deeply trapped in a quagmire of chaos. Even if Tuoba Liwei can barely gather the tribes together with his personal prestige, the entire Xianbei is already dispersed and it is impossible to restore the situation he was in the past.
In this case, the Bingzhou Army's use of sneak attacks is the most effective offensive method, which can make the chaotic situation even more chaotic, so that the Bingzhou Army can easily take advantage of the situation.
Deng Ai is considered a master in this regard. The plan of multiple surprise attacks he formulated can directly point to the key points of the Xianbei people, so as to achieve the role of defeating the more with fewer and defeating the enemy with the weak.
When the Bingzhou army set out, there was no defection in the Xianbei people. Until around the third hour, these Xianbei tribes defected collectively as if they had agreed. The Yuwen tribes and Duan tribes fled to the east, while the other tribes fled to the north, and the Tuoba tribe's army chased after them overnight, which inevitably led to the emptiness of Shengle, so that the resistance they encountered after the Bingzhou army rushed into Shengle was sporadic and weak.
The four major cavalry battalions of the Bingzhou Army were like four sharp swords, easily piercing the defense line of the Xianbei people, as if they were entering a no-man.
At first, the Bingzhou Army thought that the Xianbei people were sleeping too hard and did not wake up even when they encountered enemy attacks. It was not until they rushed in and found a large number of empty camps, and then they realized that the main force of the Xianbei people was gone.
Did the Xianbei people have discovered the intention of the Bingzhou army to attack and deliberately set up an ambush? But it doesn't look very similar. After all, the Bingzhou army has almost plowed Shengle's camp. The so-called ambush has not appeared yet. Will they not appear until the Bingzhou army general Shengle was swept across the board?
Later, the Bingzhou Army captured several prisoners and asked for it, and then they found out the real details. So that's it!
It seems that the Bingzhou Army's surprise attack was really good. The civil strife of the Xianbei people led to the emptiness of Sheng Le. Deng Ai originally planned to fight a tough battle, but unexpectedly, he was like entering a deserted state. The 40,000 cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, swept Sheng Le across like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Any army that dared to resist was easily suppressed by the Bingzhou Army.
When Tuoba Silu woke up from his dream, the whole Shengle was already in chaos, and there were fire everywhere, and there were endless shouts of killing. Tuoba Silu quickly led his troops to the king's tent, trying to meet Tuoba Liwei, but when he arrived at the king's tent, he found that there was no one inside the king's tent, and Tuoba Liwei was missing, and his life and death were uncertain.
Tuoba Xilu had no choice but to lead his troops to break through. Along the way, he encountered many interceptions from the Bingzhou Army. More than half of the men and horses he brought were injured and killed, and finally escaped in the chaos.
Tuoba Xilu didn't know what to do, but fortunately his confidants reminded him that Tuoba Demo Khan was going east to pursue Yuwen and Duan tribes. As long as they walked east, they would have the chance to meet Tuoba Demo Khan.
At this point, Tuoba Silu had no other choice. His father Khan was not sure about his life and death. The Xianbei people were defeated like mountains. Now he had to meet with Tuoba Desert Khan and then make a decision after the meeting.
So Tuoba Silu took the few soldiers and horses all the way east. After rushing dozens of miles, he happened to run into Tuoba Desert Khan. Tuoba Silu cried and told the details of Sheng Le's loss, which made Tuoba Desert Khan both startled and angry, and at the same time he was very worried about Tuoba Liwei.
Tuoba Demo Khan immediately ordered the entire army to speed up his march and return to Shengle. He wanted to fight to the death with the Bingzhou army and search for the whereabouts of his father Khan at the same time.
Liu Yuan quickly stopped him and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. Sheng Le has lost, and the situation is over. If you return to Sheng Le at this time, wouldn't you hit the Bingzhou Army's thoughts? What's the difference between you and the death?"
