Chapter 806: Luring the Enemy Deeper
806. Lure the enemy deep
Wo Yebo, three poles on the sun, Hu Gelu only lazily got up from the ground, last night did not finish the roast mutton, a little fishy, the temperature in early summer is not low, left overnight, and even have changed the taste, but Hu Gelu still bit and devoured two big leg of mutton, a full meal before he got on the horse, beckoned the team with the rising sun slowly left Wo Yebo, believe in the reins, so uncomfortable, two thousand Turkic soldiers, followed by a group of cattle and sheep, walking slowly.
The 2,000 Turkic soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat strength was not strong, and the march was completely unformed, and even acquaintances walked together in twos and threes, chatting with each other.
Hu Gelu sat on a black horse, holding a mace in his hand, leisurely admiring the surrounding scenery, not worried about the safety of his own soldiers and horses, you must know that they have always galloped across the Shuofang territory, and were served as an uncle, no Han people dared to disobey one or two, although this time it was to fight with the Tang army, but Hu Gelu thought that the Tang army was still in the south of Shuofang City, how could he come here, it didn't matter if the Liang division died or not, it was better not to be tired.
So along the way, I saw a hare and also shot an arrow, and when I saw a bird, I also wanted to shoot it, so I was so unhappy that I regarded the war as a hunting and play, so that nearly an hour passed, but I still did not reach the foot of Qiwu Mountain.
Qiwu Pass, seeing that many soldiers were sweating under the scorching summer sun, their eyes were narrow, hot and sleepy, Li Pojun was also waiting anxiously.
"Go to the mountain pass five miles away and hide, if the Turkic soldiers come, come and report quickly, pay attention to concealment." Calling the scouts, Li Pojun commanded directly.
If you wait under the sun in this way, you don't have to fight, you don't have to fight, you are wearing thick armor, and you will get heat stroke in the heat, "the whole army retreats into the forest to rest, and the movements are light."
The Shence soldier breathed a sigh of relief, moved his slightly stiff limbs, and retreated into the forest behind, which was much cooler and more comfortable.
After about half an hour, the scouts hurriedly returned, "General Qiqi, the Turkic soldiers and horses have arrived five miles outside the mountain."
"It's finally here, this Turkic general is marching at a turtle speed." When Li Pojun heard this, he turned over and complained, just as the so-called spring sleepiness, autumn and summer napping, they waited in this shady forest for two or three hours, and they were about to fall asleep.
"Huh? What else? Seeing that the scout didn't go down immediately after the report, Li Pojun also asked.
"General, the Turkic army also sent scouts to explore the way, but they didn't find the inferior, the lowly worried, the Turks saw this steep terrain, they didn't dare to approach, maybe they would investigate on a large scale." The scout also said honestly, the people who can be scouts are not ordinary sergeants, they are all elite, literate, alert and brave, just like the scouts of later generations.
Li Pojun also nodded when he heard this, and muttered: "I didn't expect that this Turkic general would send scouts to explore the way, if the enemy army is suspicious, then how to ambush."
Suddenly, Li Pojun was stunned and said bluntly: "Go and find a set of people's clothes, you lead a few cattle and sheep to graze in the mountain pass, and when you see the Turkic soldiers and horses approaching, you will leave the cattle and sheep and run." The scouts were stunned for a moment, they didn't understand but they still carried out the order, the scouts are all alert and brave people, this task is very easy,
"The whole army is in place, pay attention to concealment, and prepare for battle". Li Pojun picked up his halberd and got on his horse and shouted loudly.
The sleepy Shenzhi soldiers who were resting also got up when they heard the order, and they all took their places and prepared for battle.
Look at Nahuglu again, walking leisurely all the way, still biting the leg of mutton in his hand, eating and playing, so happy, walking, suddenly, a Turkic cavalry came back in front.
"Enlighten the elder Qianfu, the terrain ahead is dangerous, please ask if you want to investigate before marching." Regardless of the country's army, the scouts are all elite, and the Turkic scouts are no exception, looking at the steep Qiwu Pass, the scout's instinct feels very dangerous, so he hurriedly comes to report.
Unexpectedly, when Hu Gelu heard this, he sneered, "As a great Turkic warrior, my courage is too small, in the territory of Shuofang, what danger can our Great Turks have, how can anyone dare to ambush us, no need to investigate, continue to walk, we must be happy in Shuofang City at night, that Han woman, the taste is very good, Jiji." As he spoke, he licked his mouth and smiled.
When the scouts heard this, they also returned to the team, and the Turkic soldiers unconsciously quickened their pace with the longing of being happy in Shuofang City.
After a short walk, Huglu and the others arrived at the Qiwu Pass, and Huglu also stopped, put his hand on the pergola and looked at the mountain, but it was steep, fighting in this kind of mountain, the restrictions on their Turkic cavalry were too great.
When they saw the Turkic soldiers and horses suddenly stop outside the mountain pass, the hearts of Fang Yi Ai Matong and the others were raised, they were already sweating profusely from the heat, and they were sweating like rain at this time, for fear that the Turks would find out about their ambush.
Li Pojun was also staring at the master, staring at the mountain pass, but at this time, there was a burst of cheers, which startled the Shence soldiers, "Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests ......" I only heard a strong Guanzhong accent singing the Manjiang red song made by Li Pojun, and the tone was high.
Li Pojun looked intently, only to see that at the mountain pass, a "common man" dressed in tattered linen and gezu, was waving a long whip in his hand, driving away a few cattle and sheep, and singing Manjianghong, this person was the scout before.
Seeing this, Li Pojun also smiled secretly, driving cattle and sheep, and singing tunes, he was indeed more like a shepherd, this scout was smart enough. Li Pojun's Manjianghong is high and tragic, the song is also simple, and it is widely spread, especially the old Qin people in Guanzhong, and the scouts are Qin people, so they will know it.
Sure enough, Huglu outside the mountain pass was startled by the passionate song, and hurriedly looked, but it was a Han shepherd, and immediately smiled: "There are still herdsmen here, how can there be someone in ambush."
After that, he pricked up his ears and listened, he didn't understand the Central Plains dialect, but the tune was high and majestic, and he also admired and smiled: "This song is very imposing, suitable for my great Turkic warriors to sing, hum, the cowardly Han people sing but it is not worthy, grind, go and arrest him, I want to learn this tune, go back and dedicate it to the Khan."
Mo Du's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, but he still obeyed the military order and rushed towards the herdsman, and the horse's hooves clattered.
"Huh? Turks? The "common people" heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked back, and were frightened, threw down the long whip that drove the sheep, and ran towards the ravine on the other side of the ambush of Li Pojun and other ambushers.
"Hmph, waste, you can't catch a Han person." Hu Gelu scolded, and urged the horse to march again, thinking to himself, when I go to Shuofang City, I will ask, then Master Liang must know this song.
