Chapter 978 Rat-Throwing Trap
King Zuogu is in a hurry!
Like an ant fire on a hot pan
Grain?
For food
In this battle, they must do whatever it takes, and they must grab enough food from Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue
First, help your tribe resolve the crisis
In the dark of night, the wind is fierce in the wasteland
When the king of Zuogu Liwang led the army forward, he sent a large number of spies to investigate and search for the traces of Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming's army, and ordered the three armies to speed up the pace
In his eyes, the terrain was empty, and it was by no means a good place to ambush the elite
At the moment, the Tang army is either outside the fortress or in the south of the three surrendered cities, but it will not suddenly appear in front of the army
Traveling all the way for dozens of miles, the deputy general beside him suddenly reported to King Zuogu Li with a serious face, "Lord Wang, it's not good, the city is on fire, most of the Tang army took advantage of our withdrawal from the city, and the major generals of the Yan army were outnumbered, and launched an offensive to the city of Zhongshou, preparing to recover the city."
Hearing this, the king of Zuogu Li turned his head to look, and the two cities in the south were on fire, even if they were far apart, the fire was still clear in the dark environment
"Yang Yue, this bastard, is really impatient!"
The city of Zhongshou was on fire, and the nearby city of Shengzhou, or the city of Dongshou was also on fire
For a while, the king of Zuogu Li's face was blue and gloomy, and he waved his horsewhip and said angrily
He led the army to withdraw from the city with the front foot, and the Tang army caught up with the back foot to attack the city overnight, which was clearly ready to take advantage of the weakness
How many cities have you captured!?
"Lord Wang, our army led the army out of the city, the Tang army immediately launched an offensive, and the last general suspected that Yang Yue was by no means a simple way to recover the city, I am afraid that there will be a follow-up move" An Dalu said with a serious expression
He led the rear army forward, found that the southern city was on fire, and hurried to report to the king of Zuogu Li
Although he did not fight against the Tang Army in the past, in recent years, the Tang Army has become famous in all directions with its outstanding military exploits, and its combat effectiveness and strategic deployment have become mature
Tonight, they went out of the city for more than an hour, and the Tang army came to kill them, and it was obvious that Yang Yue and the Tang army generals had already prepared
This shows that Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue led the army deep into the grassland, most of which were just bait
Yang Yue's main purpose was mostly to recover several cities in the south, and by the way, to find a good opportunity to annihilate the Turkic elite who had returned to the steppe
At this time, another general next to him echoed with a cautious face, "Lord Wang, we led the army to the grassland, and we were not absolutely sure to find Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming, and then led the army back to most likely take the opportunity to severely damage the Tang army attacking the city, and teach Yang Yue a lesson."
"Duanmu Ze, have you forgotten the fate of Su Li of King Zuoxian, he led the army to rescue Tang Wan and Mugu, not only did he complete King Zuoxian's explanation, but also encountered an ambush by Nandao Ming, Yang Yue is the best at the tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements, we categorically can't go
Our duty is to find Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming and seize their food!"
King Zuogu Liwang was a bit of a mouse-thrower, and he was afraid of missing the opportunity to chase Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming, and missing the opportunity to seize the grain in vain
He was more hungry for food than for potential danger
Duanmuze, Andaru heard the voice, it's not good to persuade anything?
After all, the speculation of King Zuogu Li is by no means empty, Yang Yue may soon surround the point to send reinforcements, the so-called siege is fake, it really attracts them to return, and it is true to arrange ambushes to destroy them in advance
The two did not speak again, and nodded silently in agreement with the words of King Zuo Gu Li
The three did not dare to delay, and led the army to the north quickly
In the middle of the night, the king of Zuogu arranged for the whole army to rest and recuperate, and by the way, he waited for the spies to report back to the front
Along the way, he carefully considered that Yiran and Temur were about to lead their troops south, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming led their troops north, and the two Tang armies were very likely to meet the elite of the tribes going south
Speaking of which, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming mobilized the people to go to the tribe, but they couldn't torture and kill many tribes, so they were about to lead the army to meet the tribal army going south
According to Yang Yue's cunning, it is impossible for him to trade at a loss
At this time, he even suspected that the Tang army's invasion of the tribe was fake, lured them out of the city, and then looked for a good opportunity to annihilate them
This kind of speculation is not impossible
Even, Yang Yue sent an army to implement it like this?
For a moment, King Zuo Guli's mind became nervous
Speaking coldly and solemnly to Andaru, Duanmuze and the two commanded, "Andaru, you return to the rear army as soon as possible, be vigilant in all directions, beware of the Tang army chasing from the south, Duanmuze, you quickly go to the front army, and order the forward 30,000 elites to cheer up, enter the combat state, and always be vigilant ahead, lest the army accidentally get into the ambush circle set up by Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming."
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!
Especially in the face of a cunning opponent like Li Xuanyuan, any carelessness of the enemy may cause a catastrophe to the army
Duanmu Ze, Andaru got the order, clenched his fists, and rode his horse to their respective posts
The experience of Zuo Xian's Wang Department is vivid
They didn't dare to be cautious, for fear of ending up with Tang Wan and Mugu
From night to dawn, King Zuogu Li led his army into the grassland, but he did not encounter half of the Tang army
The army's mind was tense all night, unusually anxious, and tired
When arranging for the army to rest and replenish supplies, King Zuogu re-predicted the current situation
He even doubted himself, could it be that his guess was wrong, Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming led the troops into the grassland and really robbed the tribe of food?
If so, the problem is simpler
Just find them, destroy them
While eating dry food, Duanmuze led a spy from the north
For a moment, King Zuogu Li suddenly became vigilant and asked anxiously, "Duanmu Ze, what's the matter, have you found the traces of the Tang Army?"
Duanmuze didn't speak, and motioned for the spies around him to answer
"Lord, thirty miles away here, the Longchige tribe was attacked by the Tang army, the clansmen were killed and wounded, all the women were plundered, and there were no cattle, sheep and horses left."
Hearing this, King Zuogu Li suddenly got up from the ground and exclaimed, "What, Longqige's tribe is not in the Khitan place near the northeast, why did you suddenly come to southern Xinjiang?"
Longchig's department is not small but not small, and when it comes to war, can it gather enough 30,000 elites?
How can it be said that if it is destroyed, it will be eliminated?
Whether it was the Khitan who took advantage of the fire to rob and invade the Turks from the east, or Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, after going deep into the grassland, killed the Turks
Calming down the anger in his heart slightly, King Zuogu Li asked the spy, "Do you know who did it, Khitan, or Datang, where exactly is this elite going?"
"Lord Wang, it was Lin Kaiyue's ministry who did it, and the villain found the banner of the Tang Army in the Longchig tribe!" The spy replied that he sent the military flag to the king of Zuogu Li, and immediately said cautiously, "The drought in the north of the tribe is getting more and more serious, and many tribes are going south to find water sources.
