Chapter 739: A Novel Guerrilla Warfare
In a small town four hundred miles south of Yunzhou City, 20,000 Western Turkic cavalry were camping at this time, and it was the Right Xian King of the Western Turks who led the team.
"Damn, this Tang Dynasty man is really a soft egg, he didn't even see a single hair all the way, he ran away from the fuck, and he didn't want to find a place to make a fortune." Youxian Wang scolded.
The adjutant general beside him persuaded: "What the general said is extremely true, the Tang people in the south are all soft eggs, just like our grassland warriors." ”
At this time, the firehead army who delivered the rice came close with the rice bucket, thinking that he would take the opportunity to sell it to the general, maybe he would be able to soar.
"The generals don't know anything, it doesn't matter if there is no one, they were scared away by us, but a lot of property can't be taken away, and we have traveled all the way, and the food in the people's homes alone is enough for our military rations.
This Tang Dynasty is really rich, our food has never been so good. ”
Huotoujun said vividly, I thought that King Youxian would be happy, but I didn't expect King Youxian's face to get darker and darker.
Seeing this, the adjutant general stepped forward and kicked the firehead army away, where does a small non-commissioned officer know what the general thinks? We have never lacked food, drink and money, we are thinking about killing people, and he will get some beautiful girls in the Tang Dynasty, now there is no hair, and nothing can be done.
"Hmph, hurry up and eat, and after eating, go and hunt down those despicable Tang people, they have more than 10,000 remnants, and they will definitely not be able to outrun our horses." The Right Virtuous King snorted coldly.
Everyone didn't dare to have an opinion, and they quickly pulled the food in the bowl.
In the evening, the 20,000 Western Turkic elite advanced another hundred miles south, but there was still no trace of the Tang army.
At this time, the sky was dark, there was no shop in front of the village, there was a dense forest on both sides, and the deputy general was worried, "General, this place is dangerous, beware of fraud, we better pass quickly, there is a town thirty miles ahead, it is better to camp there." ”
King Youxian pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Hmm......"
Before the military order could be spoken, a bowstring suddenly sounded, and then a sharp arrow plunged straight into the adjutant general's forehead, and the adjutant general fell off his horse on the spot.
Frightened, King Youxian was in a cold sweat, and exclaimed: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, there is an enemy." ”
Then the shouts of the dense forests on both sides began, and arrows continued to shoot towards the Turkic army, and many people fell one after another.
"Withdraw, retreat, there is an ambush." King Youxian ordered.
A group of cavalry turned around and ran wildly, the sky was dark, and they could not distinguish the enemy's position and number, listening to the movement was definitely not a few, and the terrain was unfavorable to the cavalry at this time, so they could not counterattack, so they could only retreat.
After the rapid withdrawal of the 20,000-strong army, two crossbow squads flashed out of the dense forest, each carrying a bow and crossbow on his back, and a large horn, which was made by the army improvised for guerrilla warfare.
In fact, this team only had 100 people, and it was impossible to ambush the army at all, but with a loudspeaker, the enemy mistakenly thought that the army was in ambush, and he fled in a hurry.
A team like this, a total of a hundred, all of them are selected elites from the Tang Army, because they don't know where to meet the Turkic cavalry, so they are simply divided into a hundred teams, who meets who to harass, this battle is not based on how many merits are decapitated, but by the number of times the squad harasses, whoever harasses the enemy more times, who will have a great credit.
Similarly, the Turks originally had 80,000 cavalry, in order to pursue and plunder, was divided into a four-way army by Mo Helu, although Yuangai Suwen ordered to chase the fleeing army in the south with all his might, but a trip to the Tang Dynasty can not come empty-handed, you have a thousand plans I have an old idea, divided into four roads, of which to the south is to pursue, the other three roads are to the west and east to plunder, it is not too easy.
It is precisely because of this that there are still those people in the mountains and fields who do not want to leave home in Datang who have been poisoned by these enemies, this is the real war, and it is basically impossible to want a single person not to be injured.
Just after the king of Youxian led his troops to escape for thirty miles, he encountered a small town, and the 20,000-strong army quickly occupied and stationed to ensure that no enemy pursued him at night, otherwise night fighting was not a strong point, and he would suffer a big loss.
"How much did you lose in battle?" King Youxian asked with a gloomy face.
"General, our side has lost one hundred and thirty warriors and one adjutant general."
Pulling out his waist knife and slashing it on the doorpost beside him, King Youxian said angrily: "Defend the town around, rest for one night, and take revenge tomorrow."
Since they have encountered the enemy, it means that they are not far from us. ”
This inference was indeed reasonable, but it was not accurate enough, and what he didn't know was that in the town where they were stationed, there was a team of 100 people hidden.
Coincidentally, this is Niu Jinda's joy to see the hunting, seeing that this guerrilla tactic is novel, he wants to fight in person, and at the same time avenge the sacrifice of Paoze, so he left Wei Chigong and Li Daoyan, and brought a team of 100 people out to guerrilla.
But they happened to miss the Western Turkic army, and just walked to this town to prepare to spend the night, it might as well be the Western Turkic army of 20,000 stabs into the town, and the soldiers were about to rush out desperately, but Niu Jinda hurriedly stopped, seeing that the posture did not look like an attack, but like an escape, so it was better to hide the traces desperately.
So the team was in the cellar of a farmer, and the horses they were carrying were driven away from the other side before the army entered the town.
At nightfall, the town was quiet, and the king of Youxian drank with hatred, and the soldiers camped and slept in groups in the town.
At this time, another hundred-person squad outside the town dared to come over, or the one that was ambushed in the dense forest at that time, the leader of this team had good military skills, and did not pursue on the spot, but hung far behind the enemy, and waited until the middle of the night when the enemy was sleeping and was ready to harass again.
But before they could raise their loudspeakers and shout, a terrible scream suddenly came from inside the town, and then the whole town was on fire in all directions, and it fell into chaos in an instant.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The Western Turkic cavalry kept shouting.
The chaos in the town made the soldiers on the night patrol very depressed, we didn't see the enemy at the vigil, why did you bomb the camp yourself? Could it be that you have encountered a ghost?
The Right Virtuous King didn't wear his clothes and armor, got up with a wheel, and shouted: "Where is the enemy attacking? Hurry up. ”
"General, it's not the enemy on the periphery, it's the brothers who camp and stay in the town shouting." The adjutant general of the night patrol rushed up to report.
"What? Hidden rats in town?
Wow, dare to run among us to make trouble, pass the order, leave the perimeter patrolling, and the rest of the men and horses will do their best to hunt down the hidden enemy troops, and if they encounter them, they will be killed. ”
The right Xianwang is worthy of being a general, and he can see the key point at a glance, but at this time the town is the center of the flowering, and if you want to counterattack, you must first stabilize the soldiers, and the ancient night is most afraid of bombing the camp, and these 20,000 soldiers have become frightened birds after the arson of Niu Jinda and others.
The guerrillas outside the town looked at it, well, they had been cut off, so it seemed that it would be useless for us to harass us again on the periphery.
"Captain, withdraw, the military merits are gone, I don't know which brother is so bold that he dares to attack inside." A sergeant persuaded.
A sentence reminded the captain, "It's not good, he will be surrounded by the enemy, it's not easy to escape, let's support on the periphery quickly, find a weak point to pick them out." ”
