"The Tang army is in a tight formation and has high morale, and it is not an excellent opportunity to attack at this time!" Xian Yu raised his eyebrows, saw that Liver's attitude softened, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Besides, this Red Mountain Fort is like chicken ribs, and the food is tasteless." If Ye Hu led the army north and surrounded Lingzhou City, the Tang army would not be indifferent, and naturally abandon Hongshan Fort and be forced to fight with our army in the field! ”

Bu Lugen is not a fool, as soon as he saw that Li Lifu set the color and stubble, he had the courage to persuade: "Ye Hu, don't hesitate any longer." The Tang people are good at defending, we are good at attacking, and when we are in the field, we will let the Tang people know how powerful our Turkic warriors are! ”

"That's a good plan!" Liver's eyes shot a sharp cold light: "To fight a war is to use your brain!" How many people can fit in the small Red Mountain Fort? Do you really think that the Tang Army will only have such a few hundred people? ”

The Turkic generals were so trained by Phillips that they did not dare to raise their heads. Looking at the fearful gazes of the generals, Liversh was very proud.

"If the Tang people want to relieve the siege of Lingzhou, there must be more than that!" "You are a fool, you are all fools, the mistake is to think that the Tang army has a few thousand men, we have more than 30,000 people, if the Tang people are a few thousand people, dare to take the initiative to attack us?" None of you have seen such a big suspicion! The Tang army that dares to take the initiative to attack us is at least one guard or more! ”

In fact, the number of soldiers is also fixed. It's just that most of the time it will be empty, and the army of one guard will be divided into two armies, left and right, and each army will have jurisdiction over one of the relatives' mansions, two of the Xunfu, and two of Yi. In total, there are 12,000 people in the ten provinces! Although he is not proficient in the Tang system, he at least knows about it. For example, if the Tang Dynasty wants to support Lingzhou, it must set up a marching commander. No matter who it is, it is at least the rank of a general. The general directly commanded 12,000 troops.

"Then where can they hide, it's impossible to dig a pit and bury themselves, right?" Xian Yuliang gave a lesson and completely lost his temper, and still asked unconvinced.

"Who knows?" He also didn't figure out where the Tang army was hiding. It is far more difficult to hide in the snow than in the grass and woods. Near Lingzhou, there is no place to hide a large number of troops.

Bu Lugen said: "Ye Hu, isn't that beacon tower hidden in the snowdrift?" We didn't find it before? ”

"There are only a few people in the beacon tower, and you can hide it by digging a snow pit." He said angrily: "If the soldiers of the first guard hide under our noses and don't know, let's pee and drown directly!" ”

The Turkic generals were speechless for a while.

"Pass on the order of Ye Hu, gather the troops, and prepare to attack Lingzhou City!"

Hearing the order of Philosher, the Turks began to retreat slowly. Then reorganize the formation and treat the wounded. Of course, the Turks treated the wounded very simply and rudely, and the severed and dying slashed their throats to end their suffering, and collected all the broken blades and armor scattered outside the corpse wall!

Duan Zhigan had already prepared the idea of the horse leather shroud, but he didn't expect that the Turks would only attack tentatively, and there would be no sound. Now it doesn't look like it's on the offensive anymore, it seems to be ready to withdraw its troops!

Duan Zhigan was also very puzzled, what was going on? The Turks have changed?

……

In fact, not only Duan Zhi was puzzled, but Chen Ying, who was connected to the news, also sighed and said, "Tong Lifushi is really not a character who is easy to fool!" ”

In the first battle of Hongshan Fort, Duan Zhigan's troops won a great victory and annihilated more than 600 people! Although this record is good, it has no breakthrough impact on the overall situation. The strength of the two sides has not fundamentally changed.

Tong Lifu did not move, and Chen Ying also did not move.

But the wait is very painful, and for the soldiers of Chen Ying's department, every minute and every second is torment.

If you want to talk about pressure, in fact, the biggest is Chen Ying, because he shoulders the life and death of 4,800 Tang Army soldiers and more than 2,000 people, and of course, the Lingzhou army and civilians.

Chen Ying's resources are too small, and he has only one chance. As long as he fails, he can only return with a feather. Chen Ying naturally didn't want to go back so disgraced, and he didn't want to sit back and watch Lingzhou City be destroyed. The most important thing for Chen Ying is that he can't really grasp the reality of the Thin Bone Law City.

More than a dozen scouts were sent successively, but no news was sent back to Thin Bone Law City, which made Chen Ying a little difficult to decide.

"Why don't we rush to Thin Bone Law City first?"

"No way!" Chen Ying shook his head resolutely, and said to Zhang Huaiwei: "Tong Lifu will not attack the Red Mountain Fort, and the Red Mountain Fort is too close to the Thin Bone Law City, if we don't attack the Thin Bone Law City, and the Turks will come back in time, then we will fall under the Thin Bone Law City, and we will be attacked on our backs, then we will fall into a catastrophe!" ”

Wei Wenzhong muttered: "If the Turks are not fooled, then wouldn't we have to work for nothing?" ”

"It's not in vain!" Chen Yingdao: "We at least took the Red Mountain Fort!" ”

In fact, Hongshan Fort is a chicken rib in the eyes of Tong Lifushe, and it is also a chicken rib in Chen Ying's eyes, although Hongshan Fort can use the wolf smoke of the beacon tower on the top of the fort to directly convey the news that reinforcements have arrived to Lingzhou. But this wolf smoke can't just burn.

Once Chen Ying's troops lit the beacon fire, but failed to suddenly blockade the Turks and enter the city of Lingzhou, then the morale of the defenders of Lingzhou would be seriously damaged.

This will not be worth the loss.

"Are we just going to do nothing?" Zhang Huaiwei was about to go crazy.

"No!" Chen Yingdao: "Gather all the snow climbing plows in the partial compartment and form a small convoy to reinforce Hongshan Fort!" ”

"Reinforcements to Fort Red Mountain?"

Hearing Chen Ying's order, Zhang Huaiwei became even more puzzled.

Chen Ying looked at the snow ploughs and said: "Plough the snow plows in the partial compartments, use two chariots in parallel, take care of the end and end, and march slowly, don't pay attention to the Turkic outposts, just march towards Hongshan Fort, as long as the Turkic cavalry attacks, organize defense on the spot, so that the Turks can't figure out our reality!" ”

Here Zhang Huaiwei just went to prepare to set off, but before Zhang Huaiwei was ready, he saw a team of cavalry coming in the snow.

"Tell the general, the city of thin bones is urgent!"

"Speak!"

"The previous intelligence was wrong, the Turks in Bogulu City were not 20,000 people, but more than 30,000 people! The scout gasped and said, "In addition to the more than 8,000 horsemen taken away by Liversheh, there are still 3,000 king's tent troops and more than 6,000 tribal troops in the city!" ”

Hearing this news, Chen Ying suddenly felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Chen Ying used to estimate the personnel of the Han people, with a total population of 20,000, it would be good to be able to pick out six or seven thousand young and strong men. But in fact, this is just the traditional thinking of the Han people. The Turks, on the other hand, are nomadic peoples.

The Han people have the habit of respecting the old and loving the young, but the Turks do not. In the event of natural and man-made disasters, as a wolf nation, the first thing to give up is the old and weak, and only the prime men and women will be retained. Old and weak are just a burden for the Turks.

Therefore, the Turks went south, leaving behind most of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and almost all of them were young and strong. Young children also exist, but only a small percentage.

In fact, he can leave boldly with confidence, and he doesn't worry about the nest being raided at all. Because an army of 10,000 people can't gnaw at the city of thin bones.
