About thirty miles east of the battlefield, an elite cavalry team is here.
A fast horse was approaching at a gallop, and no one dared to stop him.
"Report,"
"Report to the General Manager that the hospital army was intercepted by more than a thousand Turkic cavalry more than 20 miles east of Longxi County. They fought from Chenzhong to Weizheng,"
Upon hearing this, Chai Shao just asked lightly: "How is the battle going? How many troops and horses did Wu Huaiyu lose? Has he retreated in defeat? Have the Turkic cavalry come after him?"
Tan Ma gave an unexpected answer.
"General Manager Wu was very careful when marching. He sent 24 Tangqi to discover the Turks' ambush in advance. He immediately put on armor and formed an array, using vehicles as a camp and guns as a defense. When the Turks arrived, they attacked but were not killed.
Taking advantage, a round of charge knocked down hundreds of cavalry, and then the whole army fought again, using the method of roaming cavalry and shooting. However, the military commander ordered the sergeants to defend the formation and fight back with crossbows, but the Turks still did not take advantage.
When I returned, the Turkic army had already lost more than a hundred horses and was withdrawing its troops to rest."
"Huh!"
Chai Shao raised his eyes from the map in front of him, a little surprised, "Is what you said true?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense."
The Great Khan at that time was Dulan Khan, the son of Shabolu Khan. Shabolu Khan married a princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, the princess kept persuading Shabolu to invade the Sui Dynasty. Dulan Khan succeeded him.
After the Khan succeeded to the throne and married the princess, he also followed her advice and was at odds with the Sui Dynasty.
"The quantity is limited, please remember to wait until you enter the enemy camp before using it. Also, throw it far away and target the opponent's tent before throwing it!"
"You are the general manager and should stay in the camp."
Jieli, Tuli's uncle and nephew led the main force to attack Jingzhou. Now the Turkic general leading the Longyou side is Yu Sheshe. He is the eldest son of Chuluo Khan, Jieli's brother. After the death of Shibi Khan that year, his son Nian
When he was young, his younger brother Lifushe succeeded him as Chuluo Khan, and he also took Princess Yicheng of Sui Dynasty as Ketun.
In the second year of Wude, Shibi Khan died, and his younger brother Tilifushe succeeded to the throne as Chuluo Khan. According to tradition, he married Princess Yicheng as Ketun. Princess Yicheng was a royal daughter of the Sui Dynasty. Initially,
It was Qimin Khan who was married to Jieli’s father.
Huaiyu also brought the White-Tied Crow, and he picked up the Mo Dao, carrying the Zhongyong Mace on his back, a double mace on his waist, a horizontal knife, and a horse's pin on the saddle.
It turns out that if Yu Sheshe calls Li Yuandang uncle, he should also call Chai Shao cousin husband.
"Are these things really useful?"
"Don't worry. Although my riding and shooting skills are average now, I can still shoot with a sword while riding a horse."
"The cavalry is armored and ready to fight." Huaiyi ordered in a low voice, and the action began.
"exactly."
"Aren't you worried that the hospital camp will be swallowed up by the general manager?" Xue Wanche couldn't bear to think of the boy who helped him. He always remembered that favor.
Especially when attacking a camp in the middle of the night, if you light one and throw it into the enemy's tent, you won't be shocked out of your wits?
When attacking a camp, the first thing is to create chaos and prevent the enemies from gathering, let alone forming formations. That is half the battle.
They are all racing against time. Although Huaiyu also sent people to report to the Fuqiang camp in the rear and ask for reinforcements when he first encountered the enemy, there was no reply.
The sergeants still haven't disarmed and are still holding on to their positions without daring to relax at all. Fortunately, there is enough horse meat today, but there are a lot of mosquitoes, and there is even a strong smell of blood permeating the battlefield.
"Besides, I have a secret weapon here."
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.
"In war, people will die, and no soldier is special. The Turkic Shabo Luo set Ashina Suni to attack Liangzhou and captured Hexi. Yushe set Ashina Momo to plunder Lanwei and deliberately besieged Weizhou to lure our Tang army.
Rescue, it was clear that they would besiege the city for reinforcements. Although Niu Xiu killed some Turkic soldiers and horses, he was now besieged in Weizhou. Yu Sheshe had a big appetite.
I will help him now, just to see if he has the ability."
Li Tang escaped.
Chai Shao wants to return to Guanzhong to reinforce and guard Chang'an. He doesn't have much time to tangle with the Turks in Longyou. The best strategy is to find an opportunity to lure them out and annihilate them.
"Even if we are prepared, we have to give it a try. This is our only chance. With so many infantry and civilians, we can't defeat them, and we can't even think of a safe retreat. What's more, our mission is to rush to Weicheng, and now we have missed it.
Returning is also a matter of military law."
"Wait a minute, the better Wu Huaiyu fights, the more Yu Sheshe will believe that this is an elite main force, and he will definitely increase his troops to eat up this piece of fat. Let's have a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
"
There is no way to be polite to such a cousin.
It is a very simple thing. Pour some prepared gunpowder into a bamboo tube, fill it with food, and insert a lead. This thing is just a firecracker. It can make a lot of noise, but it is basically impossible to kill the enemy or hurt people.
.
When Chuluo died, the four-pronged attack came to an abrupt end. Jieli joined forces with Princess Yicheng and won the position of Great Khan. He was busy returning to the Khan's court to consolidate the Khan's position and had no intention of heading south. Naturally, all other troops withdrew.
Liu Lancheng, Xue Wanche and others rushed over and heard Chai Shao's words. They couldn't believe that the 1,900 improvised soldiers could actually withstand 1,500 Turkic cavalry?
The Sui Dynasty wooed the young Khan Tuli, and sent two Yang princesses to marry him. Finally, he supported him to destroy Dulan and became the Great Khan, which was Qimin Khan. After the death of Qimin Khan, Yi
Princess Yicheng remarried her son Shibi Khan according to Turkic custom. That year Shibi Khan sent troops to surround Yang Guang in Yanmen, and Princess Yicheng also reported the news.
The soldiers and horses from all walks of life are huge, hoping to join forces in Taiyuan and march directly to Chang'an.
Instead of waiting, it's better to fight for it yourself.
But Chai Shao had no sympathy for Yu Sheshe's cousin. In fact, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, he was almost destroyed by Yu Sheshe's father Chuluo Khan. Although Chuluo reigned for only more than a year, he
Very capable and ambitious.
But on his way south to Taiyuan, he suddenly died suddenly.
Chai Shao was surprised and said to his soldiers: "Please invite generals Liu and Xue to come."
There were so many casualties during the day. Although the morale of these young soldiers was high and not comparable to that of ordinary recruits, their morale would inevitably drop greatly due to such casualties, making it difficult to persevere. If the Turkic reinforcements arrived first tomorrow, then they might really have to explain everything to them.
this.
·····
East of Longxi County.
"Why, you are looking down on these, let me tell you, this is the Taoist Secret Palm Thunder. If today's situation was not critical, I would not be willing to let this treasure appear in the world. This Palm Thunder, when ignited and thrown, can emit thunderbolts and thunderous explosions that shake the sky.
When you move the ground and attack the camp, you will be like a tiger with added wings."
After Jieli completely stabilized his power, he also began to invade every year and continued to conquer the south, but in terms of ability, he was far inferior to Chuluo.
The Turks came to persuade Huaiyu to surrender but failed. Huaiyu suggested that they should withdraw their troops and the Turks refused. In the afternoon, the two sides fought for more than an hour. Both armies were exhausted by this time.
The Tang Army camp was quiet.
Only the five hundred cavalrymen disarmed themselves early and rested for half a day. After dark, the cavalrymen were given extra meals and the horses were also given extra food.
As for Ashina Momo, the eldest son of Chuluo, he has no affection for his mother's family, Li Tang. In the past few years, he has been plundering the Tang border in the Hetao area in conjunction with Shuofang Liangshidu.
"Send more sentries and keep a close eye, so as not to scare the big fish!"
Like the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, she had been persuading Chuluo Khan to help her avenge her family and country. Chuluo Khan secretly joined forces with Wang Shichong and welcomed Empress Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao into the Turks from Dou Jiande, and appointed Yang Zhengdao as the Sui Dynasty emperor.
The king raised the banner of reviving the Sui Dynasty and marched southward. The troops were divided into four groups. He also summoned Khitan, Xi, and Mohe tribes to send troops. He also united with Liang Shidu, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others to rebel against the king.
Some people say that he died of a poisonous sore after eating the Five Stone Powder given by Princess Yicheng. Others say that he was poisoned by his wife, Li Yuan's niece. Some say that the Tang Dynasty sent assassins to assassinate him, and some say that the Tang Dynasty sent assassins to kill him.
Some people even say that it was Jie Li who poisoned the messenger secretly.
It is said that it rained blood for three days and dogs howled at night.
But has the world ever seen this thing?
The siege of Wucheng at the beginning of this summer was instigated by Yu Sheshe. This guy was very ambitious and wanted to compete for the position of Great Khan. When Jieli Tuli and his nephew invaded Jingzhou, he did not act together, and
But he still stayed in Longyou.
On the night of the seventh day of the lunar month, the moon is like a sickle and the stars are dim.
The Hospital Battalion suffered losses of more than 300 people, and the Turks were not much better off. However, the Turks who lost 30% did not retreat. They were very tenacious. In addition to their determination to win, it only meant that they were also waiting for reinforcements, and even the reinforcements had already arrived.
on the way.
"So Wu Huaiyu's hospital camp not only was not ambushed, but also withstood the attack of 1,500 Turkic cavalry, and even had a slight upper hand?"
"This kid has some skills." Liu Lancheng said with a smile.
Due to insufficient materials, the quantity prepared was not large, but he believed it could help him tonight.
In fact, when he received the mission in Fuqiang City, he immediately collected a batch of supplies in Fuqiang City to prepare for emergencies, but now he has used them.
Chai Shao stroked his beard, "In that case, let's wait here. Maybe we can catch a bigger fish."
Jieli snatched Momo's position and made him the southern commander. When Momo got older, he led his troops south to Hetao. In the past few years, he became more and more powerful and became more and more dissatisfied with Jieli's control.
Li Yuan was so frightened in Chang'an that he quickly sent an envoy to the Turkic army to sue for peace, but Luo refused.
Ma Zhou reminded Huaiyu, "I'm afraid the Turks will be on guard."
Huaiyu pointed at Wu Junwei, "He is responsible for staying in the camp. After we enter the enemy camp, you will follow the army to cover up the attack. If our offensive does not go well, you guys will defend the army and leave us a way to retreat."
Chai Shao had already seen through Yu Sheshe's actions and plans, but he still sent Huaiyu to lead the hospital battalion to Weizhou. He was indeed used as bait. The original plan was to use Huaiyu, the fake main force, to lure Yu Sheshe into reinforcements and ambush him.
Unexpectedly, Huaiyu marched carefully and not only was he not ambushed, he was able to withstand the attack of the Turkic cavalry and even gain the upper hand.
Chuluo Khan died after reigning for just over a year. He was only in his teens at the time. Princess Yicheng was considered his legitimate mother, but his biological mother was actually Li Yuan's niece. She even called him uncle Li Yuan. But at the beginning, Yicheng was named after him.
She was young and ugly, so instead of marrying him, she supported Jie Li as Khan and married Jie Li as Ke Dun.
"Wu Junwei, keep a close eye here. Once there is chaos in the Turkic camp, you will immediately lead your troops to cover it up and respond. If the enemy camp is not in chaos, then defend the military formation and do not leave!"
Huaiyu planned to wait until late at night before attacking, when people are at their weakest vigilance.
"Damn,"
Huaiyu was so desperate that firecrackers came out in advance and were used in war for the first time!
