Section 0319 Encountering the enemy

A few days later, when it was about to arrive in Yanzhou, a team of knights was stationed on the side of the road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Zhang Shigui was about to send someone to investigate, there were already a few horsemen around Liu Mu, and when those horses returned to Liu Mu's side, Liu Mu said to Zhang Shigui: "Change the route, don't enter Yanzhou, let's go in the direction of Nanxia Prefecture." ”

"Holy Order......" As soon as Zhang Shigui opened his mouth, Liu Mu choked him: "Then general, you go according to the holy order, and I will follow my path." The Decree doesn't say I must follow your men, but you follow me. ”

Wang Jue, Wei Zheng, and Gao Jian also came over.

At this point, five people can be said to represent five different voices. Wang Jue spoke first: "Liu Juma insists on going alone, so please do it." ”

Gao Jian smiled coldly, but did not speak.

Wei Zheng said at this time: "If you let Liu Juma go alone, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to enter the city gate even if we go north this way." ”

At this time, Gao Jian spoke: "The old man walks with the horse." ”

Zhang Shigui asked Liu Mu: "Liu Horse, can you tell the general the truth, why do you want to go northwest?" ”

"To be honest, I don't need the 1,000 men of the Forbidden Army at all. I have my own business to do on this northward journey, and I can't do it, so I will follow my route no matter what. Until I can't get what I want, it's useless to persuade anyone. "Liu Mu and Zhang Shigui didn't have a holiday.

On the contrary, Liu Mu admires a general like Zhang Shigui.

But right now, Liu Mu can't tell the truth, so he can only choke Zhang Shigui with words.

When Zhang Shigui was in a dilemma, Gao Jian said to him: "Follow the route that Liu Juma said, if there is any problem, the old man will bear it." ”

"It's just that it's not safe over there, and Nanxia Prefecture goes west and north. They are all areas where the Turks are active, and if there is any conflict, it will be difficult for these thousands of people to protect your safety. It's not that Ben will be cowardly, but he doesn't want to take unnecessary risks. ”

The knights who were waiting on the side of the road had already come to Liu Mu's side, and Liu Mu shouted at a few people: "Reliable information? ”

"Lang Jun, absolutely reliable."

"General Zhang, change course." Liu Mu said to Zhang Shigui again.

Zhang Shigui ordered the deputy general with a horizontal heart: "Change to Southern Xia Prefecture." ”

Why is it called Southern Xiazhou, because the real Xiazhou does not belong to the Tang Dynasty, and is still in the hands of Liang Shidu. The location of Nanxia Prefecture is the location of Jingbian County in later generations.

In Datang, there are only two roads from the northwest to Chang'an, one is to Chang'an through modern Pingliang, and the other is to take Jingbian County.

Liu Mu got the news that the ranger spies sent found that it seemed to be Turkic infighting, and a team was constantly fleeing in the direction of Chang'an, and there were several Turkic cavalry in pursuit, with a total number of more than 10,000 people, and the smallest single team also had 3,000 horsemen.

In just three days at most, the fugitive Turks will be able to approach Southern Xia.

Su Dingfang had already arrived in Xiazhou, but he did not enter the southern Xiazhou City, but continued to camp thirty miles west of Xiazhou City. The reason given to Duan Decao, the city guard of Nanxia Prefecture, was that they were a caravan, and Liu Ju Ma had a holy order in hand to trade with ordinary cattle, horses, and sheep in the north, and they were responsible for fighting the front station.

Duan Decao is the general of the Right Wuwei, and Cheng Yanjin's subordinates, after asking if they need help, they gave some local specialties.

Two and a half days later, under the urging of Liu Muyi, Zhang Shigui rushed to the west of Xiazhou thirty miles with a thousand forbidden troops to let the baggage go slowly.

There is already a military camp that can accommodate 10,000 people.

"Why is there a military camp here, looking at the layout of this camp, he must be a famous general. Someone came, took the token and went to ask who and what army were stationed here. Zhang Shigui gave an order and ordered the whole army to slow down.

saw that Liu Mu rode a horse with his people, and then Brother Pu and Gao Jian had left the team.

Liu Mu rode over: "General, why did you let them slow down again, it is less than five miles away from that camp, isn't it good to enter the camp quickly?" ”

"There are rules in the army." Zhang Shigui replied stiffly.

Liu Mu motioned for his people to take Gao Jian and Silla Jindeman first, and he accompanied Zhang Shigui.

Soon, the people sent out came back: "Report to the general, the front camp called itself Liu Ju Ma Jia Ding, and went north on the order of Liu Ju Ma, but was attacked by the Turks, so he urgently set up a camp to defend." ”

Zhang Shigui really wanted to scold and fart.

Can this camp be built as an emergency camp? This requires very specialized sappers, and there are famous generals who arrange it according to the topography and it will take at least a day to build. And a closer look at this camp, from the water, wood, horses, arrow towers, etc., are very complete, throughout the Tang Dynasty whose family can make so beautiful.

Just as Zhang Shigui approached the camp gate on the east side, he watched the camp gate on the west side open from a distance, and thousands of horsemen went out.

Zhang Shigui handed over the forbidden army to the adjutant general, and rode his horse forward.

Seeing this, Wang Qi and Wei Zheng also hurriedly followed.

When the three men came to the camp on the west side, the men who had left the camp were already three miles from the camp and had finished their formation.

Wang Jue found that the Silla princess Jindeman, Brother Park Tai, and Gao Jian were already sitting on top of the arrow tower, with a clairvoyant mirror in front of them.

At this time, many of the people who accompanied the camp quickly retreated with horses on their shoulders.

Look at the eight hundred men, their whole bodies and horses, all covered with gray linen, and even their faces wrapped in the cloth.

The more Zhang Shigui looked, the more he felt wrong, and saw Liu Mu walking with a clairvoyant mirror and changing into clean clothes, snatching Liu Mu's clairvoyant mirror and quickly climbing up to an arrow tower to look at it.

Seeing this, the startled Zhang Shigui felt that his breathing had stopped.

Eight hundred people, setting up a formation that even a battle-hardened general could not understand.

It looks like a crane's wings, but in it is the feeling of a fish scale array, and it is said that there is a fish scale array, but there is also the feeling of a moon array.

When Zhang Shigui was in a daze, he saw dust in the distance, and a group of Turks who had given a thousand people seemed to be on the run, and on the north and south sides of the back, judging from the scope of the dust, there were 3,000 horsemen chasing each side.

"Prepare for war!" Zhang Shigui roared, the enemy has at least 6,000 cavalry, maybe 8,000, Zhang Shigui said in his heart that relying on this large battalion with the current strength can block the enemy army.

But the soldiers of the forbidden army had just been disarmed and rested, and when they heard the order to prepare for battle, more than 100 people stopped them, and the leader was one they still knew, and this was also a captain in the forbidden army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need for non-horse orders in this battalion, just a few thousand Turks."

This captain was one of the forbidden troops sent to Huayuan County, so Liu Mu flickered with him, he has always been ashamed, he is so good at martial arts, he was not even selected as a soldier.

Of course, if there were no hundred flying horses sent by King Qin, he would be one of the right to choose flying horses.

The 1,000 Forbidden Army did not have armor suits, but they were still neatly dressed and arrived on the west side of the camp.

At this moment, two small gates on the west side opened, and about 1,500 people rushed out, shouting at the dismissed Turks: "Kneel down and abandon your weapons and don't kill." ”
