Chapter 432: Ambush
The Tang army learned a profound lesson and gathered the rest of the army together to discuss the next countermeasures.
Kong Ren, Zuo Buqun, Wang Yunhe, Ye Xiaochen, and Li Taixuan joined forces with Deng Qi, with a total of one million troops.
Although the Wei army said that they only annihilated 300,000 Tang troops, in fact, the damage suffered by the Tang army far exceeded the figure of 300,000.
Some troops had been completely dispersed by the iron hooves and stratagems of the Wei army. For a while, they were unable to muster an army to form an effective fighting force.
This army of one million people is still the fighting force they have organized through painstaking efforts.
They have suffered the consequences of not being united and must not make the same mistake again. This time they are united to find ways to improve this problem.
While everyone was discussing their opinions, a scout came to tell the five people what had happened in the Wei camp.
The six people were stunned when they heard this. The battle had just ended, so they were so anxious to celebrate?
Deng Qi pondered for a moment and then said: "I was the first to start fighting with the Wei army. Ever since the war between Tang and Wei broke out at Niutoushan, we have basically been at a disadvantage. No matter what the battle is, once it starts,
We will definitely lose. It can be said that the current Wei army, after experiencing such a great victory, has become arrogant."
He felt that the Wei army was openly drinking and having fun in the middle of the army, not thinking about the war, and the emperor was taking the lead. The main reason must be that after the war, Zhao Changqing or the Wei soldiers under his command had become arrogant.
"I just heard what the scout said. The Emperor of Wei said in front of the soldiers that our Tang army was vulnerable. It was really too much!"
The person who said this was Ye Xiaochen. Among the Kowloon generals, he had the hottest temper. He always said what he said directly and could not hide things in his heart.
However, there is some truth in what he said.
Zhao Changqing really went too far and openly laughed at Tang Jun. This was blatantly looking down on them.
But, what can they do? After all, in the history of fighting with the Wei army, the Tang army has always been at a disadvantage. It has never won any decent battles, and it cannot be blamed for the arrogance and domineering Wei soldiers.
"Though Wei Jun's actions may seem to look down on us, it doesn't matter. The more they do this, the happier we should be." Kong Ren, a wily man, spoke.
Li Taixuan, who had a good relationship with him, immediately agreed: "Yes, as the saying goes, a arrogant army will be defeated. What the Wei army did is digging its own grave. As long as we can seize this opportunity, we will be able to pay all our previous debts to
Wei Jun is coming!"
The remaining people probably understood what they meant.
"You are saying that you want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Wei army's camp?" Among these people, Deng Qi is the youngest, but he is also the most cautious in fighting.
He has led troops in battles for many years without making any great achievements or mistakes.
Kong Ren nodded, "Yes, only by attacking Wei camp can we overturn the defeat. Otherwise, I won't have the shame to ask for people from the imperial court."
Deng Qi couldn't believe his ears, "Zhao Changqing always likes to use strange tricks to do things. What if this is their conspiracy? Moreover, that is the central camp of the Wei army, so it must be heavily guarded. Without understanding the situation,
Under the circumstances, I don’t agree to use troops like this!”
His answer was firm.
He simply did not believe that the Emperor of Wei, who had served in the military for many years, would make such an obvious mistake.
Kong Ren stroked his beard and said: "I don't think I need to tell you the truth that if you miss an opportunity, it won't come back again. If you give up this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to gain some advantages against the Wei army in the future."
.”
Wang Yunhe thought for a long time and felt that this plan was feasible, "Brother Kong, you are the eldest among our brothers. We will listen to you for this action. Just tell us what should be done!"
When Ye Xiaochen heard the sound, his whole face instantly turned gloomy.
Deng Qi clasped his fists at them and said: "You are all my seniors. As a junior in the army, I should have advanced and retreated together with you old generals to live and die together. However, it involves the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. I apologize for not being able to fight with you."
You all are traveling together."
After saying that, he walked out of the camp.
The rest are all Jiulong generals.
They looked at each other and frowned. They didn't understand what Deng Qi was worried about. He didn't want such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
The Wei army has been drinking and having fun for two days. During these two days, the combat effectiveness of the entire army has been greatly reduced. Is there a safer way to attack them when they are drunk and arrogant?
"Ignore him. After all, he is not a Nine Dragons general. No matter what, we must remain united."
Kong Ren said to him.
Even though Ye Xiaochen has many problems, he understands that the others are listening to Kong Ren's arrangements. If he doesn't listen, he will be isolated by the Nine Dragons General. In this case, if he encounters any enemies in the court in the future, there will be no choice.
Those who help will suffer greatly.
There will always be an unwritten rule in Kowloon. They can fight internally and fight to the death. If an outsider wants to have an idea against them, they will instantly put aside their prejudices against each other and then speak out unanimously.
This is also the real reason why Kowloon will still be preserved at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
If we unite and twist into a rope, and the several big families behind us work together, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he originally wanted to revoke the title of Jiulong General. After all, the state of the vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty was at its most violent at that time.
If this continues, the Tang Kingdom will fall apart. Therefore, Tang Xuanzong has no choice but to cut off the vassals. Later, the nine major families united together and openly and secretly contended with Tang Xuanzong for many years. In the end, they lost all military power.
, retaining the name Kowloon General.
As long as their reputation remains, the nine major families will never decline.
Handing over military power is actually a means of self-protection.
"Now, let me talk about the detailed plan. I just looked at the positions of the Wei army's camps. The closest ones to the Wei army's central tent are Bai Qi, Zhao Yun, and Chen Qingzhi's troops. It will take at least half a century for them to come to the rescue.
hour. Therefore, we must end all battles within half an hour. I will personally lead a hundred thousand cavalry to attack the Wei camp. Buqun, you lead your men to meet your old rival Bai Qi."
Kong Ren paused for a moment.
Zuo Buqun nodded and said, "Okay."
Although there was some pressure, he also knew that at this time, obedience was the best choice.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight for a turnaround.
Kong Ren continued: "Remember not to confront Bai Qi head-on, as long as you can delay the arrival of his reinforcements. The two generals Wang Yunhe, Ye Xiaochen, Zhao Yun and Chen Qingzhi will be left to you. Taixuan, you will keep them for later, just in case.
At that time, other Wei troops will arrive to support Zhao Changqing, so we will stop the attack."
Everyone agreed.
Kong Ren's eyes turned cold, and he said with murderous intent: "This time, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"
I don't want them to take this risky plan.
As a general, no one is willing to give up this golden opportunity.
Moreover, after Kong Ren made some arrangements, even if something was wrong was discovered by then, he believed that he could escape unscathed.
