The Turkic camp was quiet, and there was no sign of any further fighting. It was so calm that it made people panic.
At Yangguan Pass, Qin Huaidao waited for a long time but did not see the Turks attacking. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already noon. The Turks also had to eat. He estimated that there would be no more attacks for the time being, so he quickly ordered: "Instruct all regiments to be on alert, and the reserve battalions of each regiment are in charge."
Make a fire to cook, and the leaders of each group will come to the top of the mountain for a meeting."
After saying that, Qin Huaidao headed towards the top of the mountain.
Luo Wu immediately arranged for someone to pass on the order and caught up with Qin Huaidao and asked: "Uncle, is the enemy going to change his fighting style?"
"What do you think?" Qin Huaidao took the exam.
"We must change. Concentrating our troops to attack fiercely is seeking death. Spreading our troops to break through at multiple points will not work. They suffered a lot in the battle just now and will not continue to use it. They will inevitably adjust their tactics, but I don't know how they will adjust?" Luo Wu said quickly,
A look of confusion.
"Believe it, let's see if you can think of it." Qin Huaidao didn't point it out, but started to take the exam.
The two quickly arrived at the top of the mountain and sat on the ground around the campfire.
Qin Huaidao picked up the dry firewood and threw it on the fire, burning it brighter, and said: "Can anyone help me get some meat to roast? The Guards will also arrange lunch."
Someone immediately agreed and hurriedly made arrangements.
Not long after, a large piece of clean and skinned horse leg was brought over and grilled on the volcano. Luo Ying came quickly with the leaders of each regiment, and everyone sat together.
Qin Huaidao inquired about the damage, and after learning that the casualties were not serious, he waited a moment. As for the lost arrows, explosive packs, grenades, crossbow bolts, etc., there was nothing he could do or use. Fortunately, he brought a lot with him this time.
After everyone chatted casually for a while, Qin Huaidao changed the topic and said: "Everyone, the Turks have not attacked yet, probably because they have not thought of a way to deal with our army. This afternoon is critical, so be vigilant."
"Uncle, the Turks can't defeat us by dividing their troops and attacking with more troops. If they concentrate their troops and attack hard, they will die. What else can they do? I probably can't think of anything for a while. What if they don't attack in the afternoon?" Luo Ying asked.
"There is a way, a night attack!" Qin Huaidao reminded.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly.
Luo Ying agreed: "Yes, visibility is low at night and we cannot see clearly, so our army cannot kill the enemy from a long distance. Once the Turks advance to the foot of the mountain and attack, the foot of the mountain is only ten meters away from the first line of defense, and they will soon be able to
If we rush close, our army will be passive, and darkness is the best cover. The Turks have a great chance of advancing to the foot of the mountain."
"What are some ways to restrain yourself?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.
Everyone was silent, thinking to themselves.
After waiting for a while, no one made any good suggestions.
Qin Huaidao did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "If you don't have a good idea, just follow my advice. When night falls, mines will be laid at the foot of the mountain. The Guards Regiment will be responsible for this. Once the enemy sneaks up on them, for example, if they step on the mines, the mines will explode."
There will be fire after it is fired, and each unit can freely shoot or throw grenades after discovering the enemy without asking for instructions."
"Follow the order!"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they agreed knowingly.
Luo Wu reacted and said: "With landmines, no matter how many people come here, they will be killed. Once exposed, we can still shoot them. If there are many people, we can use grenades to blow them up. We can also arrange special people to be responsible for the explosive packs."
When everyone heard that it made sense, they all looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Wu: "Use all the landmines, try not to use the grenades, save them for future use, take out half of the explosive packs and distribute them, it should be almost done, the artillery battalion is on standby, and fire support will be provided if necessary."
"Understood!" Luo Wu agreed.
Everyone discussed some details, and Qin Huaidao carefully explained to everyone the various tactics of using trenches to kill the enemy. With the previous battles, everyone understood it immediately and learned quickly.
After that, Qin Huaidao taught everyone how to use trenches for night fighting, such as observation posts, how to use firepower without accidentally injuring one's own people, how to determine passwords to identify identities, etc.
This lesson only lasts half an hour, and the horse meat is almost cooked.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they returned to their respective units.
Qin Huaidao observed for a while and saw no Turks attacking. He was a little more confused. Could it be that the Turks really planned to attack at night? Then there would be something interesting tonight.
…
Almost at the same time.
A large army appeared outside Yumen Pass, and the leader was Li Jing. Looking at Guancheng with the shuofeng blowing, Li Jing couldn't help but think of the scene of chasing the Turks. He was excited. After being ignored by Li Er for so many years, he could finally fight against the Turks again.
"Shibo, the Jade Gate is just ahead." Next to him, Fang Yiai said respectfully.
"Yumen Pass is very quiet. The imperial flag is erected at the top of the city, indicating that it is still in our hands. It seems that Yumen Pass is very safe. I don't know what happened to the nephew Huai Dao." Li Jing said, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Since Yangguan was besieged by the Turkic Prince's soldiers, all the carrier pigeons released were hunted down by Turkic eagles. There was no way to deliver the message, and all the people lost contact.
Li Jing was worried that something might happen, so he rushed over with his follow-up troops, and the journey was dusty.
But Fang Yiai said nonchalantly: "No need to worry, Uncle Shi, no one in the world can defeat Brother Qin, and everything will be fine. But we are so busy with nothing to do, and there is nothing to fight for, and all the brothers have their opinions."
"The one I have the biggest problem with is you." Li Jing smiled angrily. Seeing someone approaching in front of him, he looked familiar. He shook the reins and urged his horse forward.
Soon, Li Jing recognized that the person was An Guogong, and couldn't help laughing and said: "An Guogong, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just bored." An Guogong was also very happy and urged him to come right away.
"drive!"
Fang Yiai signaled the army to stop and then rode forward. After meeting with An Guogong, he couldn't wait to ask: "An Guogong, where is the King of Han now? Is everything okay?"
"The King of Han is at Yangguan in the southwest. It is not far away. War horses can arrive there in an hour. However, the King of Han has used his body as a bait to attract a hundred thousand Turks and they are fighting." An Guogong said with a bitter smile.
"What's the situation? Tell me carefully." Li Jing's expression changed.
An Guogong briefly stated what he knew: "The king of Han dared to conquer Yangguan, and the Turkic prince came with 50,000 soldiers and horses. The two sides fought a battle and killed nearly 30,000 Turks. The Turkic prince had no shame to withdraw his troops and continued the siege.
Troops were mobilized from other places, numbering about 100,000 so far. Scouts came to report, and there was another battle in the morning. The King of Han was so powerful that he killed more than 20,000 Turks, and there has been a truce ever since."
"Didn't he kill more than 50,000 Turks?" Li Jing's face changed drastically.
"Oh, it's a pity that I missed it." Fang Yiai sighed sadly, with a depressed look on his face.
Li Jing glared at Fang Yiai and immediately asked: "Where is Luo Zhang?"
"General Luo led his troops along the river and headed west to Loulan. The Turkic prince mobilized troops to support Yangguan. The number of troops attacking Loulan was bound to be reduced. General Luo intended to break the siege of Loulan, and then joined forces with the Loulan army to relieve Qi.
Once the siege of Tun is successful, the Turkic army in Yangguan can be attacked from behind."
Li Jing has been fighting for a lifetime, and he can understand everything at once. He thought of a lot in an instant and praised: "This method is very good. It seems that Luo Zhang has learned a lot of skills from Huai Daoxian. As long as a large army appears behind the Turkic army, the morale of the army will be in chaos."
, Yangguan can take the opportunity to attack, attack from the front and back, and the battle will be decided."
"Then don't we have a chance?" Fang Yiai was overjoyed and looked at Li Jing with shining eyes.
"Young man, you know how to fight, but this is indeed a good opportunity." Li Jing agreed.
"How to fight?" Fang Yiai asked impatiently.
Li Jing also wished he could fly to the battlefield. He looked at the large army behind him, thought for a moment, and said: "The battle at Yangguan is crucial. If we win, Hanzhou will have no worries. If we lose, the army will have to withdraw to Longyou. No wonder
Nephew Huai Dao left you to guard Yumen Pass. This is to force the Turks to fight Yangguan decisively, which is a big game of chess."
"Yes, the King of Han also said so." Duke An Guo said with some admiration.
"The accompanying army of craftsmen, civil servants, family members and the two princesses have entered Yumen Pass to rest and recuperate. I leave it to you." Li Jing clasped his fists and said, his eyes becoming fanatical.
Duke An couldn't see that Li Jing wanted to lead troops to Yangguan, so why didn't he want to go to Yangguan? But Yumenguan couldn't be deserted, and the retreat couldn't be lost. He responded sternly: "Don't worry, Duke Wei, meals have been prepared at Yumenguan, and I promise not to do anything about it."
I will treat everyone unfairly."
Li Jing nodded and looked at Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai was delighted when she heard about the battle. She couldn't wait any longer and asked quickly: "Gong Wei, please give me the order."
