Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth struggle and choice
Missua is a character who can't catch rabbits without letting go of hawks. This was already clear before Mr. Jin came here. With his sharp tongue and no real information, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to want Missua to turn back the enemy. , so after talking about the plan, his advice to Misua was only two very simple words: wait.
Originally, I had many doubts about Mr. Jin's plan, or simply didn't believe it. No matter how powerful Yi Nan was, he couldn't possibly have such a huge strength. Otherwise, he would have dominated Mobei long ago. Why would he have to wait until today?
But the reality was very disappointing. It didn't take long for military reports to return to He, A'di, Tongluo, Pugu and Li Ji's tribe started a fierce battle. The battle was extremely fierce. Li Ji was surrounded by layers of siege and had no time to take care of himself, so he no longer had the ability to attack the West. Jin joined the main force.
The water problem was solved, but the plague in the army was even worse, especially in the Sixth Army of the East Palace, which the Prince of Tang was proud of. Thirty percent of the officers and soldiers were infected with the disease, so he had to order the entire Sixth Army camp to be cordoned off. According to common sense, He said that the work style of this army is very strict, the protection work is very good, and the chance of infection is very small.
But who would have thought that the corpses of sick cattle and sheep would also appear in Liuli's new well. This is so unbelievable. At least Missua didn't understand how Mr. Jin did it.
Yes, I have to say that the Tang Army's logistical supplies are first-rate. A large amount of medicinal materials, grain, water trucks, weapons, etc. are constantly being transported to the camp to prolong the life of the Tang Army who is fighting against the disease. Otherwise, these twenty The Wanlian Army has long since collapsed.
But these were not the worst news, because Missua discovered that even the Tang Prince had been infected with the plague. Although he was still holding on to his body to take charge of military affairs, he transferred Su Shichang to the camp and handed over the main military affairs to Qin Huaiyu. Fang Yizhi could tell from the two of them that he could no longer hold on.
Moreover, it is not difficult to find that the Tang army is preparing to turn around due to several suspicious arrangements made by Su Shichang, the head of the prosecutor's office. Otherwise, Wooden and Luo Tong would not have been transferred to the rear in the name of guarding the grain road? Isn’t it just lice on a bald man’s head? Isn’t it obvious?
One predetermined result after another is in front of you, Missua's suspicion of Mr. Jin's plan has changed from doubt to belief? Don't think this guy is as formal as a woman? But this little scheme is really ruthless, from six You know why he drags so many dead people out to bury them every day? He really wants to leave the Tang army on the grassland!
Is Misua greedy for money and lust, lustful but lustful? Are all of this correct? The fact that he has been able to deal with Jieli, Tuli, Datang, Xue Yantuo and other forces for so many years with ease cannot be said to have anything to do with his own clever mind.
Yes, the current situation of the Tang Army is not optimistic, but the tyrannical strength of the Tang Dynasty still cannot be underestimated? What is the loss of a few troops? At most, it can only take three or two years to cultivate and make a comeback.
Ever since the Battle of Yinshan, Yi Nan's ambitions have been obvious. Not only did he run rampant on the grasslands, but he also constantly caused friction with the Tang army? Of course he didn't care whether the Tang army pursued him or not. But he couldn't do it. These 50,000 cavalry were What is the foundation of oneself and the tribe? If he offends the Tang army, will he be destroyed? If he continues to delay, it is no different from waiting to die.
Is it difficult? There are mountains of swords and seas of fire on both sides? No matter what choice you make, you can't guarantee your escape? For Missua, this may be the most difficult choice he has ever encountered in his life. If he is not careful, his entire clan will be destroyed.
Just as Misua was tossing and turning, another piece of heavy news reached the army, completely breaking his inner balance. Li Ji's Tonghan army was annihilated at the entrance of the Xixia Valley. Dead bodies piled up like mountains, and blood soaked the entire place. In the canyon, the four tribes of Huihe, Adiao, Tongluo and Pugu took advantage of the victory to pursue and were rushing towards the main force of the Tang army.
After the news spread among the army, the soldiers of the Tang Army lowered their proud heads, and the generals discussed privately, trying to persuade them to retreat quickly before the enemy could completely surround them and form a confrontation with Xue Yantuo's tribe. They went to Dingxiang for a while to rest and recuperate, so as not to make the same mistake as Li Ji, but because they were afraid of the authority of the prince, no one dared to go to the army to speak.
Plague, defeat, and lack of water, the arrogant Tang army finally encountered their biggest dilemma since the fourth year of Zhenguan. Moreover, once an encirclement was formed, the food road would be cut off, and the 200,000 allied troops would be in dire straits. There is no chance of breaking out. Just like the Yinshan War at Jieli, there is no other choice but to sit back and wait for death.
Misua didn't know what Li Chengqian was thinking, and he didn't care whether the Tang prince was ill or not. Saving himself and his tribe was the most important thing at the moment. So, in a panic, he quickly ordered his confidants to quietly touch Li Chengqian at night. Leave the camp and head west.
Three days later, at noon, four tribes including Xue Yantuo and Uighur who were blocking Heishanjia and Malikou formed an encirclement on the Tang army. Under the dual pressure of heavy troops, the existing walled city was used to launch defense.
"The left guard leads the way to prepare for the East Gate!"
"The right guard is preparing to fight against Ximen!"
"Chinese Army's crossbow troops are preparing to attack the North Gate!"
"Mo Dao troops move to the north and south to prepare for war!",...one by one, the messengers were running in the camp holding the order flag, and the troops who received the order followed the order. However, there is one very strange thing, Tu Lihe Ba Yegu did not receive the order to fight, and was forgotten as if he had never existed.
Some unable to sit still, Missua went to Tuli to find out why there was no mission, and to inquire about the condition of the Tang Dynasty Crown Prince, but this old guy didn't know anything about it. He looked like a foodie. He was so angry. Missua almost lost her breath.
However, he really couldn't wait. Since the situation was already one-sided and the Tang army had become the turtle in the urn as Mr. Jin said, he had to act according to the plan discussed in advance and win this great achievement as a leader. He has no choice about his qualifications for promotion.
After returning to the main tent and drinking two liters of wine to gain courage, Missua gathered together three thousand soldiers who were secretly selected and marched through the camp one by one in the name of being ordered to strengthen the defense of the north gate. The soldiers responsible for guarding the gate of the village did not report the situation as usual. Instead, they were very happy to let him go.
