Xu Huai sat next to the stacked wall, covering his legs with a felt blanket. Hearing Xiao Yanhan talk about the changes on the battlefield in the past half day, he couldn't help feeling that the battlefield was changing so fast. He never expected that the enemy would take the initiative to abandon the three companies in Taiyuan City, and the generals
The horses were all shrunk into the two forts in the northwest and northeast corners.
Xu Huaigang wanted to ask about the whereabouts of Wang Ju and others and the situation in Taiyuan City. When he saw Wang Zhang hurriedly ran down the wall of the village and quickly came back, holding a donkey's hoof that was roasted to a golden color, he felt hungry.
Roll.
Xu Huai took the roasted donkey's hoof from Wang Zhang and cut off a small strip of meat with a bag knife. It was crispy in the mouth, but a little bland. Xu Huai sat back against the wall, pulled out the saber, and held the blade across his knees.
, then take out the salt bag from your pocket and pour a handful of salt particles onto the polished horizontal knife.
At this time, Xu Huai took a bag knife and cut off a piece of donkey meat, mixed it with some fine salt, tasted it, and repeatedly praised: "This is good, you should also take a few bites..." and handed the donkey meat to Xiao Yanhan's mouth.
Xu Huai and Xiao Yanhan cut off the donkey meat in strips and mixed it with salt to eat. After a while, seeing Niu Er still staring at them, they cut off a large piece of donkey meat and threw it over, asking:
"Why are you staring at this with your donkey-sized eyes? You haven't had lunch either?"
Niu Er was also very particular about his food. He came over and poured some salt. He stuffed a large piece of donkey meat into his mouth and started chewing it. He said in a loud voice: "The Marquis fell asleep just now. The princess looked at you as if she wanted to eat."
Like a human being, Master Zhou said that you should be careful about such people appearing around the military prince, as this kind of person is most likely to be detrimental to the military prince!"
"Which dog of yours saw that I looked like a cannibal?" Xiao Yanhan's beautiful eyes widened and she scolded.
"That's what Master Zhou ordered. Anyone who keeps staring at the Junhou, there is probably something wrong. Anyone who wants us to guard the Junhou must cheer up," Niu Er said in order to prove that he was right.
Looking at Shi Hu, who had already hid aside, Wang Zhang shouted, "Do you think there is something wrong with the way the princess looks at the military prince, as if she wants to eat someone?"
"Fuck you uncle..." Xiao Yanhan became angry and kicked Niu Er.
"Hey, don't spread the salt particles!" Xu Huai quickly turned sideways to prevent Xiao Yanhan from moving too much and touching the blade of the knife on his knee, and spread the salt powder, and then smoothly pulled Xiao Yanhan back and let her
He sat down next to him and said, "What are you doing with that idiot?"
"Uncle Qi, Qian Langjun and others went to Tianmen Pass to pick up someone. At this time, they came south from the Han army camp in Yunzhou!" Wang Zhang came over and reported.
Xu Huai took a piece of deerskin, wiped the salt grains off the blade, threw the donkey's hoof with a lot of meat left to Niu Er, and said, "Take it and gnaw it."
Xu Huai put his sword back into its sheath, stood up and looked around.
By this time the sky had cleared, and the surrounding fields were unobstructed.
There are five company camps directly north of Taiyuan City, but there are one camp in the northwest and northeast corners, which are larger in scale.
At this time, the five companies directly north of Taiyuan City were under their control. They all mobilized troops and horses from Taiyuan City to fill these forts for defense. The front lines on both wings had advanced to the northeast and northwest corners of Taiyuan City.
The Han army camp in Yunzhou is only about a thousand steps away from the camp at their feet, and about 1,780 steps away from the east and west corner camps.
Considering the range covered by arrows and crossbows, the space between the main camp and the company camp of the Han army in Yunzhou is extremely small.
If it hadn't been a snowy night attack, or if the enemy hadn't figured out their situation at all and caught them off guard, two or three thousand men and horses would have poured into such a narrow battlefield space, and they would have had to storm the enemy base while being attacked from both sides. It wouldn't have been that difficult.
Know how much to improve.
A large group of troops was heading south through the low ridge west of the Han army camp in Yunzhou.
Qiao Jien officially came on behalf of King Jing Zhao Tuan, and now everyone expects the Gu family to send more soldiers and horses to Lanzhou to participate in the war, so they treat Qiao Jien and Gu Jian with great courtesy. Wang Ju and Qian Zerui went to Tianmen in person
Greet them at the gate to ensure there are no accidents along the way.
Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue were in poor health and needed to stay in Taiyuan City. Qian Zerui had previously broken out of the encirclement and went south to seek help under the escort of dead soldiers. Although they had gone through untold hardships, their physical condition was worse than that of Xu and Wen.
The two of them are much better. If anything happens now, he will step in and coordinate on behalf of the Taiyuan garrison.
Xu Huai just looked north silently at this time.
I was not familiar with the situation last night, and it was full of wind and snow. It was difficult for the cavalry to pass through the low mountainous areas on the east and west sides of the Han army camp in Yunzhou, so they had to go around the enemy camp. Many Chushan generals were killed in this process.
The enemy stood close to the wall and shot and wounded.
However, during the day, the cavalry bypassed the low ridge areas on both sides of the enemy camp without many obstacles.
Xu Huai also saw that during his rest, Wang Ju, Xu Wuqi and others decided to send many scouts to the low mountainous area west of the Han army camp in Yunzhou.
"With so many scouts sent over there, Fifth Uncle, Seventh Uncle and others think they can open a passage to the mouth of the Tianmen Mountain Gorge on the west side of the Han army camp in Yunzhou?" Xu Huai asked Wang Zhang.
"Qian Langjun and others also mean the same thing, but you were sleeping soundly before noon, and no small movement could wake you up, so they went ahead to check the terrain!" Wang Zhang said, "They must go through it themselves at this time!"
Xu Huai nodded. Now, except for Guo Junpan, Xu Wukun, Fan Yong, Xu Wuliang, Shi Zhen and others who stayed behind in Chushan, Chushan could be said to have used all its elites for this attack on Taiyuan.
At this time, Pan Chenghu and Xu Wujiang stayed in Lanzhou and were responsible for commanding troops to suppress the remnants of the Qingshun Army in Lanzhou and guard against the Chihu reinforcements assembled from Shuozhou. At this time, the Gu family also sent troops into Lanzhou, and all matters were handed over to
Pan Chenghu and Xu Wujiang coordinate, so you don’t have to worry about anything going wrong in a short period of time.
Xu Wuqi led Yang Qiye's troops to the chess pieces in the northeast of Tianmen Mountain to meet up with Chen Zixiao's troops. What he had to consider now was to mobilize more soldiers and horses from Taiyuan City to strengthen the flank defense.
Of course, the most critical ones are the battlefields in the northern part of Taiyuan City.
In various battlefields in the north of Taiyuan City, Wang Xian, Xu Xin'an, Tang Pan, Yin Peng and others were sitting on the front line to command the battle. Xu Huai was also accompanied by Wang Ju, Zhou Jing, Han Qi, Wu Qihai, Shi Hu, Wang
Zhang, Niu Er, Fan Zongqi, Wang Jun and others will be there.
Xiao Yanhan also led more than 300 captured soldiers of the Tianxiong Army to join them.
The presence of so many elite soldiers and generals ensured that even though they were fighting and marching for days on end, everyone could still seize every opportunity to take turns to rest, so as not to wear down their bodies.
After waiting for a while, Wang Ju personally picked up Qiao Jien, Gu Jian and others into the camp; Zheng Tu also accompanied Qiao Jien, Gu Jian and others from Lanzhou this time.
"Sir Qiao, Gu Tongpan, you have worked hard all the way!"
After Qiao Jien entered the camp, Xu Huaicai walked down the camp wall, met them in front of a row of sheds that served as the command tent, and exchanged greetings.
"The Marquis is so polite, how can we talk about hard work?" Gu Jian returned the greeting.
Although Xu Huai's arrogant and domineering attitude before was very unpleasant, Chushan rode eastward for several days and achieved many miraculous achievements. Gu Jian had to admit that this was something that the Fuzhou Army led by Gu could not do.
In other words, this is not something Gu dared to do at all costs.
The Gu family has been in charge of Fuzhou for more than a hundred years, but they still dare not admit this reality.
At this time, Gu Jian also quickly handed over the two hundred cavalry led by Gu Minghai to Xu Huai for unified control: "We are not familiar with the situation. The two hundred cavalry led by Gu Minghai can barely be regarded as the elite of Fuzhou.
If you have an errand, please tell me to come down."
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, let's go into the room and talk." Xu Huai invited everyone to enter the command tent.
"General Wang Ju, Qian Langjun personally came to pick us up in front of Tianmen Mountain and said that you have considered opening a passage to the west of the Han army camp in Yunzhou to take Taiyuan soldiers and civilians northward. How sure are you?" Qiao Jien sat down in the hall.
, without too many pleasantries, we just got straight to the point and got into the topic.
The Hehuai War is already beyond their reach. Their most important thing at present is to ensure that more soldiers and civilians who have been holding on to Taiyuan for a year will be withdrawn to Fuzhou.
Qiao Jien and Gu Jian had already heard Wang Ju and Zhou Jing introduce the latest situation here on the way.
Chushan Cavalry could tear apart the enemy's encirclement so sharply, which they had never imagined before. And the enemy army voluntarily abandoned the company camp north of Taiyuan City, which shows that they were frightened by the killing.
In this case, use elite troops and horses to close in and block the enemy troops in the camp, and then organize Taiyuan soldiers and civilians to pass through the low mountain area on the west side of the Han army camp in Yunzhou and enter Lingjing west of Tianmen Pass.
In the opinion of Qiao Jisi and Gu Jian, the gorge canyon is still very feasible.
"This can only be said to be a choice that is being considered at the moment. Should we implement it as it is, or should we make arrangements according to changes in the battlefield situation," Xu Huai said, "I will accompany Senior Officer Qiao first, and Gu Tongpan will go to Taiyuan City first to meet
Mr. Xu Fu, General Wen..."
Qiao Jien came on behalf of King Jing, so he naturally had to go to the city to meet with the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians as soon as possible, and express his condolences to the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians on behalf of King Jing. Xu Huai also had to see the situation of the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians with his own eyes before he could decide how to fight next.
, Gu Jian and the others took a short rest, and then accompanied them to Taiyuan City with Xiao Yanhan...
