Chapter 885 Dismounted
After brainstorming, Attila decided to take Movol's suggestion.
Ordered Movol, Yelucheng, and other generals to lead 50,000 wolf cavalry, divided into three routes, and plundered the people of the Tang Dynasty in the Pinglu territory.
As a close confidant of Yelu Puhua, Attila is like a mirror to the Liwang Department of the Right Valley, after being ambushed by Yan Xingjun and leading the army, even though he transferred the eastern part of the grassland from the Western Front, recruited troops and horses, and made up for the battle losses, the vitality of the Liwang Department of the Right Valley has not yet recovered.
Tens of thousands of Tang people migrated to Shencheng, it is fat meat with bones, if it is eaten safely, it will naturally make the right valley Liwang strong, if the bones are stuck in the throat, the consequences are unimaginable.
Be careful to sail a 10,000-year-old ship, and be cautious to catch cicadas.
As a general, he would rather have a reduction than let the right valley Liwang fail again and make the situation worse.
Yelucheng was very dissatisfied with the rejection of his proposal, but at least he led his troops to the battle, but he could ruthlessly plunder the people of the Tang Dynasty, and humiliated him fiercely under Yang Yue's nose, and did not refuse Movol's proposal.
When Movol and Yelucheng were about to leave, Attila glanced at the two of them, and proposed cautiously: "Little prince, Movol, the success or failure of this battle will affect the prince's decision, and if you want to attack Youzhou and capture Yang Yue, you must not lose this battle."
"Attila, don't worry, keep the camp!" Yelu Cheng's tone was firm, ignoring the scars on his body, and said coldly.
Movol didn't say a word, silently bowed his head, and walked out of the tent.
On this night, in the military camp of the Liwang Department of Yougu, the lights were bright, as bright as day, Movol, Yelucheng, and Zhao Mingcheng, the general of Silla, reorganized the army and horses, marched rapidly in the night, and approached the vicinity of Pinglu.
defense in advance,
Following.
In Youzhou City, Lin Kaiyue and Yuan Crazy Ge straightened out the military horses, pushed the cart, and there were weapons hidden in the car, and everyone was wearing shabby linen clothes, wrapping the red shirt and black armor tightly.
In front of the neatly lined Xiaowu army, Yang Yue personally came to see him off, sweeping the specially dressed Xiaowu army, Yang Yue patted Lin Kaiyue and Yuan Yange on the shoulder, and ordered: "General Lin, General Yuan, you have been stationed in the north for a long time, dealing with the Khitan wolf cavalry, and you know the opponent's art of war and tactics best.
In recent months, the right valley Liwang plundered a lot of people out of the customs, seriously affecting the imperial court's plan to reclaim the Bohai Sea, this time, you pretend to be the people to go to Shencheng, if you do not encounter the Khitan wolf cavalry harassment, the army is stationed in Shencheng, send soldiers to open up the wasteland, if you encounter the Khitan wolf cavalry on the way, occupy the upper hand, teach the other party a hard lesson, when the situation is unfavorable, strive to contain the other party, I immediately sent General Luo to lead the army to the expedition.
Remember, this time the battle against the Khitan is not to eliminate tens of thousands of Khitan wolf riders, but to completely and completely eliminate the Liwang Department of the Right Valley, rescue the plundered people, and take advantage of the situation to invade the eastern Khitan."
"Don't worry, the emperor doesn't worry, the last general led the army to rest in Chang'an for more than half a year, the Xiaowu army is full of energy, and if you meet the Khitan wolf horse, you will definitely completely destroy the other party." Lin Kaiyue clenched his fists and said to Yang Yue.
"That's right, the last general and General Lin have already been deployed, and Jiang Taigong has taken the bait!" Yuan said loudly.
"Let's go!" Yang Yue's eyes swept over the imposing Xiaowu army, waved his hand to signal Lin Kaiyue, and Yuan Yangge led the army to the battle.
Yuan Yangge took two or three steps forward, and shouted to the forward Xiaowu army: "Twenty thousand soldiers in the forward, quickly tidy up the clothes, board the car, Hugh must show clues, go!"
The forward 20,000 Xiaowu troops sorted out their clothes, moved the sacks containing straw, and the weapons hidden in the cover car, and the forward 20,000 Xiaowu troops set off from the barracks and moved to Shencheng.
According to Yang Yue and Xu Wennuo's plan, Yuan Haoge led the army as the vanguard, and Lin Kaiyue led the army to be separated by more than ten miles.
After the strikers of the Xiaowu army all left the city, Lin Kaiyue led the rear army to follow the march.
The two armies were camouflaged and could not easily detect anything unusual unless they were closely observed.
Yang Yue watched the two armies disappear from sight at the north gate, and turned to Zhao Xuanhu and ordered: "Send the forbidden army to secretly follow the Xiaowu army, but if the Xiaowu army encounters a surprise attack by the Khitan wolf horse, report it immediately."
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanhu nodded, turned around and left!
At this time, Yang Yue said to Luo Shishang: "General Luo, in recent days, you have often asked for battle, quickly prepared the army, after the forbidden army sent back the news, directly led the army to the aid of General Lin, General Yuan, after eradicating all the ambushed wolf horses, led the army to the right valley Liwang military camp, burned their military camp, remember to fight quickly, and never give the right valley Liwang any chance to prepare."
"Yes!" Luo Shishang heard the voice, and in the vicissitudes of life, a thick smile was revealed.
I didn't stay at the city wall for long, and I left in a hurry!
"General Guo, send a messenger to Liaodong non-stop, and order Duanmu Ye, Ruoluo Shishang, Lin Kaiyue, and Yuan Yangge to lead the army to hit the camp of the Liwang of the Right Valley, and order him to lead the army to directly kill the Liwang tribe of the Right Valley, uproot the Liwang tribe of the Right Valley, and occupy the eastern grassland!" When Yang Yue turned around and walked under the city wall, he commanded Guo Huaiyuan with a cold face.
"Yes!" Guo Huaiyuan bowed his head and walked away.
Moving forward, Yang Yue sighed helplessly.
He took his concubines to Hebei Province and made a private visit to the micro-service outside the border to learn about the economy, military strength, and the situation of the major workshops in the Tang Dynasty.
At present, he does not want to start a war with the King of Lili in the Northeast for the time being, so as not to destroy the stability between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan.
Yelu Yao, Yelu Puhua is flying and domineering, the right valley Liwang is ready to move, hurting the interests of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't hit the other party hard, weaken the other party's flying momentum, the side will not accept it, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will suffer.
This time, within a certain range, quickly, ruthlessly, and with the momentum of thunder, he ate the right valley Liwang Department, showed off the Tang muscles, and let Yelu Xiao and Yelu Puhua An.
Only in this way will not only not break the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan, but also knock the mountain and shock the tiger.
.....
Jizhou!
The only way to exit the customs in Hebei Province.
Northeast of Jizhou, a place bordering Le Rao Duhu.
Next to an ordinary official road, the three generals Yelucheng, Movol, and Zhao Mingcheng led the Khitan wolf to ride and deploy within a radius of thirty miles.
In his heart, Yelucheng was full of resentment towards Yang Yue and the Tang Dynasty, and he personally proposed that he be in the center and lead the troops to take the lead in launching a fierce attack on the migrating people.
After Movol led the army to break, Zhao Mingcheng led the wolf to ride in front to defend it, and after surrounding the people who migrated to Shencheng, he gradually followed one by one.
Yelucheng sat on horseback, raised his eyes to look at the south, and noticed that the official road was empty, not to mention that tens of thousands of people had migrated to Shencheng, and there were no ordinary figures.
When he insisted on the three poles of the sun from the east, he still did not meet the traces of the people, Yelucheng was annoyed and displeased, and said to Movol next to him: "General Movol, I have not seen the traces of the people of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, could it be that the Tang army spies will detect the dispatch of troops last night?"
When he was in Luoyang, he knew that when Yang Yue was fighting, he liked to send many spies in advance to reconnoiter the situation of the enemy army.
Last night, 50,000 wolves rode the starry night to transfer, and the movement was not small, if Yang Yue sent secret agents, he would definitely detect their movements in advance.
Otherwise, after half a day, why is there still no trace of the people of Datang?
When Movol heard this, he secretly sighed that Yelucheng's revenge was too heavy, and he couldn't solve the problem.
"Little prince, from Youzhou to Jizhou, even if the army marches in a hurry, it takes half a day, ordinary people are in a hurry, naturally it takes too much time, besides, most of them carry food, etc., and the speed of the journey is even slower!"
He also hoped to achieve victory, capture the people of the Tang Dynasty, give Yang Yue a dismount, and wait for Yelu Puhua to return from the royal court, and then lead the army to storm Youzhou, and strive to capture Yang Yue.
However, anxiety could not solve any problems, since the wolf cavalry was properly deployed in advance, the leading troops waited patiently, and the fish entered the net, and the net was collected.
When Yelucheng wanted to refute, the messenger in the southern official road rode his horse and galloped over, and soon arrived beside Yelucheng and the three, and said: "Prince, General Movol, General Zhao, the people of the Tang Dynasty are only seven or eight miles away from here, and the composition of this group of people is very strange, there are no women and children, no old people, if it is not for tattered clothes, it is more like an infantry transporting grain and grass."
The messenger did not dare to be sloppy, the spies ventured to find out the news on the front line, and since they had doubts, they must have their own concerns.
"Do they carry weapons?" Movol asked.
Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, the battle of the Black Bone City was vivid, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Yang Yue is in Youzhou, if he secretly changes the identity of the people and soldiers, most of the people who go to Shencheng will be the elite of the Tang Dynasty.
"General, I didn't carry any weapons, except for the carts to transport grain and farm tools." Courier debrief.
"General Movol, don't make a fuss, most of the people of the Tang Dynasty that we captured before were young and middle-aged, isn't it, besides, when Prince Ben recruited people in Luoyang, the people who were willing to come to the Northeast were almost all young and middle-aged.
The northeast is very far away from Guannei, except for the young and middle-aged, there are no old and weak women and children, and they are willing to travel long distances to the Bohai Sea!" Yelucheng said according to his past experience, wanting to dispel Movol's inner worries, afraid that the other party would change his mind in battle.
Movol looked hesitant, still having his own concerns, but the people of Datang were about to approach, and it was simply unrealistic to go back to investigate.
After thinking for a while, he reminded: "Little prince, General Zhao, you hurry back to your respective hiding places, if there is anything unusual about the people who come, the general will definitely send a messenger to inform the prince."
He was glad that he was in the rear with his army, and he could be the first to contact the people of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, if he was replaced by Yelucheng, he would definitely charge desperately.
Ye Lucheng, Zhao Mingcheng bowed slightly, did not hesitate, and turned around and left.
Seeing the two generals leaving, Movol became cautious, as one of the fierce generals of the Right Valley Liwang Division, Movol knew that the more confusing the situation, the more cautious he should be, so as not to have an accident.
The battle of Wugucheng and the battle of Yan Marching on the Western Front were all due to the carelessness of the enemy after the Khitans won one after another, resulting in defeat, and finally watched the enemy regain the lost territory.
Turning around and signaling the wolf rider to hide in the dense grass on both sides of the official road, when the people of the Tang Dynasty approached, when they were sure that the other party's identity was not unusual, they could let the other party go and wait for Yelucheng to take the lead in attacking.
If the identity of the other party is different, the Tang army is equipped with the people, or there are many Tang troops among the people, the only way to send someone to remind Yelucheng to stay still and seek a good opportunity.
More than 10,000 wolf riders retreated one after another, hiding in the grass, clutching the hilt of their swords and longbows, looking into the empty official road, not daring to act rashly.
About half a moment, there was a faint sound in the south of the official road, and when I looked up, I was already in the crowd.
As the people got closer and closer to the place where Movol was ambushed, the voices grew louder and noisier.
Movol's eyes stared straight into the approaching crowd, as if admiring a stunning beauty, looking back and forth in detail, not daring to let go of any details.
Soon, Movol found that there was no surprise to the people, but there were a few cavalry on both sides to protect the people, more than a thousand people.
This time they led 50,000 wolf horsemen to come, but Movol did not take more than 1,000 cavalry into account.
Slowly hiding his body from the dirt slope, he said to the messenger beside him: "Hurry up to the place where the little prince has set up an ambush, and tell the little prince that he is ready to capture this group of people."
"Yes!" The messenger nodded, walked down the dirt slope with his waist bent, and rode his horse ten miles away, in the direction where Jelucheng was.
At this moment, in the official road, Yuan Madge was wearing ordinary linen clothes, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, and his left hand was on the cart, talking and laughing with the people next to him, blowing and joking, but his shrewd eyes looked back and forth.
All the way over, the official road is flat, there is no place to hide ambushes on both sides, but the closer to the edge of Jizhou, the more complex the terrain, and a lot of dirt slopes appear one after another, even if it is impossible to hide the army, but hide more than 10,000 soldiers, do not personally send spies to investigate in detail, usually can not be detected.
Moreover, he once led the army to fight against the Khitans near Jizhou, and severely damaged the Liwang Department of the Right Valley.
Therefore, the closer he got to the place where he fought with the Khitan wolf cavalry in the past, Yuan Yangge became more cautious, and his eyes signaled to the cavalry next to him to protect the people, and he was vigilant in all directions.
In this battle, they only carried ring-headed knives, shield soldiers, longbows, and a few earth-shaking thunders, and when they didn't know where the Khitan wolf was hiding, they deliberately broke into the opponent's ambush circle, which was extremely dangerous, and life and death were unpredictable.
Yuan Yange didn't want Xiaowu Army to be buried in Jizhou from the bottom of his heart.
"Everyone be quiet, cheer up, if you encounter a Khitan wolf rider, grab the farm tools and fight them to the end." The cavalry captain who protected the people swept his eyes in all directions, drew his sword, and commanded sharply.
Soon, all the cavalry shouted wildly, conveyed the captain's military orders, and the people gradually quieted down, looking cautiously in all directions.
"Humph!"
"More than 1,000 horsemen, wanting to take revenge on 20,000 people to go to Shencheng, wishful thinking!"
Movol watched the people pass under his nose, and suddenly heard a reminder from the cavalry captain, secretly sneered, and sneered.
At this time, Yelucheng, who was lurking with his troops ten miles away, suddenly received news from the messenger that the people of the Tang Dynasty were coming, and he could lead the army to attack, and he clutched the mace to imply that the wolf rode up his spirits.
When he was in Luoyang, Yang Yue humiliated him and tortured him, at that time, he had no chance to take revenge.
Moreover, the messenger reported that there were more than 1,000 horsemen to protect the people and go to Shencheng.
This time, he will lead the army to kill all the Tang cavalry, and after capturing the people, he will personally send wolf cavalry to send the corpses of the Tang cavalry to Youzhou.
Tell Yang Yue that the Khitan wolf ride is not easy to mess with, and he Yelucheng is also not easy to mess with!
