Chapter Twenty-Six: A Plan to Exhaust the Enemy
"General, they slept. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info military tents and barracks are all there, but there are vicious dogs, so they can't get too close. The subordinates all stared, and no one slipped away. A scout with a black ash on his face reported to Liu Gangyu.
"Humph! Sortie! Remember, Chai Shao wants to live. ”
In the dark night, I couldn't see my fingers, and there was a moon a few days ago. But now, there is even a crooked crescent moon in the sky. A group of Great Sui soldiers crowded at the gate of the military village, and the Ma army was in front and the infantry army was behind. Liu Gang gave an order, and 2,500 people quietly covered up and killed them.
The humiliation during the day made Liu Gang hate the rebels on the other side. I want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and I think that the night of May is not suitable for attacking the camp. Today, Lao Tzu will attack you, Chai Shao! If you are caught, Lao Tzu will definitely let you survive and not die.
The Sui army was well-trained, and the horse army charged ahead. As for Chai Shao's broken camp, there was no defense at all. Without the slightest pause, the horses rushed in. The spear opened the tent and was about to stab to death the rat-like star-scattered fleeer. found that there was no one inside, and the adjutant general felt a little hairy. But it is only two miles away from the military village. What's the matter, it's very easy to return to the military village.
When the infantry of the rear team arrived, they searched carefully inside and out. Except for a few old dogs with bald tails, all there was in the camp and the tattered tent cooking utensils.
"That's what you call a vicious dog?" The lieutenant whipped a whip on the scout's body, and the armor protected it made a "snap" sound.
"My subordinates did look at it, but it was too dark. The subordinates didn't dare to approach, so they ...... The general spares his life! The general spares his life! The scout fell to his knees in fright and kept prostrating.
"Go back and pack you up, collect the troops and go back to the camp!" The adjutant general said hatefully, and returned to the fine willow camp with a large group of military horses.
Back in Xiliuying, Liu Gang also felt strange. said it was a trick to lure the enemy, but it didn't look like it. After all, Chai Shao and Li Xiuning are not immortals, and in just a few days, even if they conjure up thousands of troops, they are still a rabble. If you want to fight with your own forbidden army, it's like an egg hitting a stone.
I can't figure it out, so I just don't want to. After tossing for most of the night, it will be bright in two hours. The soldiers tossed for a day, and they were already overloaded. Liu Gang ordered the soldiers to return to the camp to rest, and the sentry posts were doubled! I also returned to the marshal tent of the Chinese army, ready to squint for a while.
"Knock", "knock", "knock" ......! As soon as he lay down and didn't wait to fall asleep, the war drums sounded. Accompanied by the sound of war drums of "dong dong", there were countless shouts of killing. The gallop of the cavalry roared, and the infantry was overwhelming, as if a hundred thousand troops were rushing over.
After many years of battle career, Liu Gang became stiff as soon as he turned over, and his arms and a personal soldier began to put on the battle armor with body temperature again. As soon as the bundle of armor silk was tightened, Liu Gang picked up the horizontal knife and rushed out.
The barracks was already full of swordsmen, and the cold light of the torches reflected on the swords and guns flickered faintly. It is worthy of the well-trained Great Sui Forbidden Army, but it is just a cup of tea. A group of soldiers had already taken their place under the leadership of the captain.
Liu Gang climbed the wall and immediately felt that his scalp was a little numb. I saw that outside the wall, there were torches all over the mountains. From his own line of sight, it can continue to the edge of the sky. At this scale, there are 80,000 people, if not 100,000 people. Could it be that Chai Shao is a god and will scatter beans into soldiers?
"Send out scouts and quickly find out what's going on. All departments prepared and held the wall. Send someone to Chang'an as soon as possible to bring in reinforcements. Every time Liu Gang gave an order, a chess and card official ran out with an arrow in his hand.
When Chai Shao came during the day, Liu Gang didn't think of reporting to Chang'an at all. If Qu Tu informed that there were only two or three hundred people on the other side, he would also ask for reinforcements. Even if Qu Tutong doesn't kill himself, then don't think about mixing in the army in the future.
But now it can't be done, so many people are committing at the same time. This is not something that the three thousand soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion can stop, and they have to report to Chang'an quickly. Otherwise, it is only a matter of minutes to be destroyed.
The soldiers of the forbidden army nervously held the weapons in their hands, and many of them sweated in their palms. There are few times in my life that I have not had the opportunity to see a PK of this scale, which is a little strange. The men on the other side shook their torches, and the noise and war drums were incessant. Occasionally, there are knights on horseback, making their way through the darkness. But they didn't get close to the wall, and everyone was out of range of the bow and crossbow from beginning to end.
Although those people did not come close, no one dared to slack off. Everyone stood on the walled wall for a night. For fear of a slack, those people will rush up with a shout.
Early in the morning, Yun Hao stood beside the mountain of money. Next to him were the tiger-like wolf-like guards of the Li family, and Li Xiaosan was watching the field on the side with a sledgehammer in his hand.
There is no way to make this lineup, and there are too many people who have too much money to receive money. Wealth is moving, if these guys come and grab a handful. Without a master of Li Yuanba's level, how can he hold the field.
Countless villagers lined up in more than 20 long lines to receive money, and Li Dazhong shouted loudly: "Two burned torch roots, ten big coins and one cake." His mother's work coaxes Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu uses it as a torch. The tone was fierce, the attitude was cruel, and the villagers, who were mostly women and children, trembled one by one.
After three expeditions to Goryeo and conscription, Yang Guangnan took hundreds of thousands of people with him. With the addition of these years of military service, the number of adult men in Guanzhong has dropped to a dangerous level.
Yun Hao sighed, this was all caused by Yang Guang's eagerness for quick success. In this world, I am afraid that everything will be done quickly. It's easy to make mistakes when you're in a hurry, and it's no problem to conquer Goryeo. Building the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, that's no problem. It is possible to conquer millions of people at every turn, and this is a problem. The Great Sui in the agricultural era could not withstand such a toss. Yang Guanggang tossed for his own use, and he tossed into thirty-six anti-kings, seventy-two puffs of smoke and dust. The world was in turmoil, but he ran to Jiangnan.
Can you really escape?
I have to say that the discipline of the people of the Great Sui is outrageous, and twenty or thirty thousand people gathered together to receive money and food. No one kept order, but no one cut the line. The mess of good order made Yun Hao a little unconvinced.
The woman and the baby all had these two torches and sticks in their hands, and they were still more than three inches long. Last night, Yun Hao hired them to stand in the field for a night. The conditions are simple, one flatbread per person. As long as you stand until the torch is lit at dawn, you can receive another flatbread for ten cents.
Three or four hundred yuan, in exchange for Liu Gang's three thousand soldiers who didn't sleep for a night, Yun Hao felt that it was too worthwhile. I just went to the vicinity of the military village to see, and the soldiers standing guard were all sleepy and shaking. Even the guys on the wall, they all yawned like a game.
It's true that yawning is contagious, when the first soldier starts yawning. The entire barracks was already shrouded in drowsiness, having been tossed all day yesterday during the day. In the evening, the first half of the night was busy stealing the camp, and the second half of the night was busy guarding the camp. In the morning, Liu Gang's nose was about to be crooked.
Looking down on the wall, there is a single empty wool tree. Dozens of scouts sent out by themselves, their corpses covered with arrows. The human head was cut off and placed neatly under a large tree.
Without allowing General Liu to be stunned, Chai Shao came to the outside of the village with more than 100 cavalry and more than 100 foot soldiers to scold. If you don't know this tired plan, Liu Gang will be a general all these years in vain.
"Lao Tzu won't go out, see what you can do. Go down to bed in batches and see what flowers he can turn over. "Tired soldiers, usually there is an ambush behind them. Take advantage of your fatigue to kill the killer, fully demonstrating the great power of the soldier's treacherous ways.
He didn't come out, but he forgot. Last night, he urgently went to Qu Tutong for help!
When the sky was dark, Qu Tutong learned the news that the Xiliu camp was besieged. After many years of military career, he was suddenly taken aback, the Xiliu Battalion had an excellent geographical location, and it was a barrier to the southwest of Chang'an. Therefore, when the imperial court was overstretched, it still kept an army of 3,000 people there.
If the Xiliu battalion is lost, there will be no barrier in the southwest of Chang'an. Now Li Yuan has raised troops to rebel, and the whole of Shanxi has become a mess. Wang Shichong of Luoyang, the eastern capital, was fighting with Zhai Rang Li Mi again, and it was impossible to free up his hands to help him. Counting on the imperial court in Jiangnan, it is even more of a dream. The fine willow camp is lost, and the golden bull road leading to Chang'an in Shuzhong will be cut off. That's one of the few retreats for these people in Chang'an now.
Now the army is already insufficient, if there is no more supply of grain and straw in Shu. Chang'an, I really don't know what will happen.
Qu Tutong didn't even have time to report to Acting Wang Yang Yu, and immediately sent 10,000 Xiaoguo who could be mobilized to support.
This 10,000 Xiaoguo is the elite of the army, and it is also a mobile force in the army that is ready to be called at any time. 4,000 cavalry and 6,000 foot soldiers took turns to wait for emergencies. Now that the war broke out, Qu Tutong immediately notified the standby Xiaoguo to attack.
These Xiaoguo received orders urgently, thinking that the Hosoyanagi camp had been besieged. The cavalry rushed to support first, and the infantry was also in a hurry, for fear that something would go wrong in the Xiliu battalion.
Sui Jun, who was in a hurry, never imagined that a pair of eyes of different colors were staring at this team in the woods on both sides of the road.
According to Yun Hao's plan, Pan Ren was responsible for intercepting and killing these elite Xiaoguo outside Chang'an City. As part of the 35,000 Guan contract, Pan Ren was absolutely obliged to hack these Sui soldiers to death.
Letting go of the cavalry in the lead, these people let him go to the Hosoliu camp. Anyway, the fine willow camp is also a piece of fat on the side of the mouth. Just intercept the foot soldiers in the back! 20,000 well-recharged cavalry, panting and sweating infantry sneak up on the running. Think with your ass, and you know what the result will be.
After about half an hour of the Sui cavalry, the infantry hurriedly ran over the main road. Pan Ren observed and saw that the infantry formation was not scattered, and although the soldiers were out of breath, they did not have crooked armor. It seems that the elite of Xiaoguo really didn't blow it out. This army, which Yang Guang originally wanted to invest in the Liaodong battlefield, is now gradually being consumed in the internal fighting of the Great Sui.
Pan Ren smiled evilly, and then quietly followed someone with him. The roads here are lined with woods, which is not conducive to cavalry charges. The real battlefield is ten miles ahead, and it must be where to go, the physical strength of these Xiaoguo is also consumed. How the generals who lead the army have a little common sense will give the army a temporary rest. And then, it's your chance.
Sure enough, we arrived in the open field ahead. The leading lieutenants saw that the non-commissioned officers were really tired, and the team had begun to drag. If they continue to run like this, even if the soldiers rush to the battlefield, they will not have the ability to fight each other.
The order to rest was given, and the soldiers immediately lay down on the ground. I ran for more than 20 miles in full gear, and now my physical exertion has been extremely great. As soon as the helmet was taken off, sweat flowed out. Everyone's long hair is wet with sweat. We all know that the destination of this trip is the Xiliu Camp, and the distance ahead is still far away. Now we must seize the time to rest, otherwise on the battlefield for a while, the combat power will be greatly reduced.
The lying soldier suddenly noticed that the ground seemed to tremble a little. Those little pebbles, dancing and jumping on the ground. The experienced veterans immediately jumped up and kicked the ignorant recruits on guard, and the team just now became chaotic. Before the recruits could come to their senses, countless cavalry rushed out of the grass and bushes on both sides of the road.
These cavalry are obviously not the cavalry of the Central Plains, not only the armor style is very different from the Central Plains. Even the weapon in his hand is not a horizontal knife commonly used by the Great Sui people, but a scimitar with a circular arc.
"It's Hu Ren!" The captain at the head shouted in horror, and was shot through the head by a flying arrow. The body fell to the ground with a "poof" and began to twitch unconsciously.
The arrows rained down on the chaotic ranks like locusts, and the veterans leaned on each other. Cover each other with large shields to defend against the rain of arrows. But many recruits who had never seen the battle formation had just put on their helmets when they were shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows.
The Hu people shoot arrows in a very poisonous way, they don't shoot like the Turks. Instead, the arrow was tilted forty-five degrees and shot at the sky. Weighted arrowheads are affected by gravitational acceleration and become more lethal. However, the shooting method is not suitable for precision strikes, and can only attack the military formation in the form of a rain of arrows.
The rain of arrows was so dense that it even darkened the sky. Countless Sui soldiers were turned into corpses, and the clusters of arrows stuck in their bodies made them look like porcupines.
The Hu cavalry galloped and threw arrows. There are only three shots in battle, when after three rounds of arrows. They drew their sharp scimitars and rushed into the scattered formation of the Sui army.
The reason why the knife was made into a scimitar was because the cavalry was in the process of charging. The scimitar can leave larger, deeper wounds on the enemy. With the momentum of the horse, a flat-ended scimitar can easily cut through the arm of a samurai.
The galloping Hu warriors rushed through the Sui army like vicious wolves, their sharp scimitars leaving a trail of blood and corpses. Before the Sui army's foot soldiers could recover their senses, the second wave of Hu warriors rushed up again.
The waves-like Hu people kept slapping the broken military formation of the Sui army, and each slap took away a large number of fresh lives.
