Chapter 78: Into the urn
On the hillside next to Gangu, Jia Kui took back the telescope, handed it to Yang Wenguang beside him, and took a sip: "These Fanhu are muttering endlessly there, do they want to rest in the city we built!" ”
Yang Wenguang carefully put away the binoculars and said, "Don't worry, the three nearby Xinbo clans have been moved away by us, and they can't find food even if they want to live in the city." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yu Tibetan hemp can bring a few days of food here? After entering the Sandu River, they must hurry out of the valley, otherwise they will starve to death in the valley. All we have to do is wait for them to depart and go down and take the city again." ”
didn't wait long, Yu Zang Huama's brigade continued to move forward. A brigade of tens of thousands of people, from front to back, has reached dozens of miles, and it takes almost a day and a night from this small city to the past. The army of the Qiang tribe is assembled according to the tribe, and the march is also divided into various tribes, and Yuzang Huama walks in front with the elite. It's not that his courage is commendable, but that he recruited other tribes, and only when the leader walks in front and is brave can he be relieved to follow forward.
Jia Kui was bored, lazily leaning on a big crooked-necked tree, looking at the people in the valley who were advancing like ants, and said to Yang Wenguang: "The days of sitting and waiting are really difficult!" It's a pity that the marshal is not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, otherwise it would be a pleasure for us to have a few drinks on the mountain and watch the Tibetan people slowly get into their pockets. ”
Yang Wenguang has been observing the various departments of Yuzang and Hemp passing through the small city on the hillside, and said without looking back: "If you feel that there is nothing to do, you can sleep first." In the evening, we went to catch a few people and asked them about their arrangements. I think that the leader of the party seems to have left people in the city, isn't it that the marshal said that they want to build up and defend the city? ”
Jia Kui jumped up from the crooked neck tree, took the binoculars and looked at them for a while, and said, "It's really a stay!" The party members were older than the army, and knew that the city was holding their way back, and they could not afford to lose, so they left people to defend it. It seems that they should not be underestimated too much. By the way, if we go out at night to catch people, will it alert the thieves? ”
Yang Wenguang smiled and shook his head: "With an army of tens of thousands of people, what's the matter if a few people are lost on the road?" What's more, this is in the valley, there are mountains on both sides, and there are always a few tigers and wolves every day, who cares! ”
"That's right." Jia Kui rubbed his hands, "When it gets dark, I'll catch someone!" ”
This battalion of troops, Yang Wenguang is the commander, Jia Kui is the right Yuhou, the two with the main force to guard the valley, the battle will go down to reoccupy the city together. In order to enhance their strength, Xu Ping sent additional people from Sandu to come over and temporarily subordinate them to Yang Wenguang. Such an establishment has already taken the initial form of generals between the army and the battalion. The town was so small that it could only accommodate so many people, and any more would be useless.
At this moment, a young man dressed in short brown came over from the bushes, took out his waist card to show Yang Wenguang, and saluted with his crossed hands: "Counselor Lu Qing, I have seen the commander!" ”
After the salute, Lu Qing took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Wenguang: "The military information in this area, I have to fill in the military information, so I can bring it back to the Counsellor's Department." The Tibetan army has already entered the valley, and the military situation will be reported once every two hours in the future, and the commander should not slack off. ”
Yang Wenguang took the paper, beckoned the military officials who were with him, and asked him to fill it in according to the format. It's nothing more than what happened at what time, at what time and at what time you saw the enemy army, what identity, how many, what kind of weapons you have, whether you have baggage, what kind of leader is leading the team, what kind of targeted arrangements you have, and so on. This was all trained before the war, and it was easy to do. The most troublesome thing is actually to determine the time, the big pendulum clock cannot be used for marching, only the hourglass, and the time is proofread once a day at noon. No matter how meticulous it is, the error is still not small, barely enough to be used in the army in this era.
Watching Lu Qing leave, Yang Wenguang let out a sigh of relief and said: "According to the number and time of the Heyu Zanghua Ma Belt, the Sandu River Valley Mouth will fight, and the rear team of the thieves will just come to us, and we will have a good fight then." ”
Jia Kui had a murderous face: "At that time, we occupied the city, so we must not let anyone escape from the valley!" The arrangement in the army this time is so meticulous that it is no longer possible to leave all the thieves who come to attack, and it is difficult to explain. ”
After crossing the Gangu, the river in the Sandu River will be opened, and the marching speed of Yuzang Huama will obviously begin to speed up. It was nearly evening, and the group arrived at the waste Anyuan Village.
Looking at the declining village, Yu Zang Huama buried it to the appreciators: "Since Cao Duhu defeated Li Lizun of the Zongge clan here, the Song people thought that Qinzhou was as stable as Mount Tai, and many of the fortresses built at that time were abandoned. This place is more open than the area around the small city we just passed, if this village is not abandoned, the Song army has hundreds of soldiers and horses here, and it will be difficult for us to advance. ”
The appreciator laughed: "This is God help me!" It's not that Song Jun is negligent in taking precautions, where are we so easy to get here! ”
The two of them walked around the village, and Yu Zang Huama said: "Lord Dutong, this place is open, so I will camp here first and gather the tribes behind." Tomorrow, you will first take the 'Bubazi' out of the valley and camp under the Fuqiang village, and I will arrive as soon as I gather the men and horses. Fuqiang Village faces water on both sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and tomorrow is only afraid of a vicious battle. ”
The appreciator knew that Yu Zang Hua Ma was to let him bring someone to be the striker, and his subordinate Fan was good at picking up cheap in the back, which was a strategy that had been set a long time ago, even if he was dissatisfied, he had to agree. The thousands of negative views he brought also need to settle here temporarily, and the battle situation in front of him will be stabilized before Sanduchuan. Fuqiang village is an important town west of Qinzhou, the county seat of Fuqiang in the Tang Dynasty is located, although the name is a village, there is actually a small old city, the Song Dynasty must have a heavy army there. If you want to lay there, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it in a short time, and this abandoned Anyuan Village will be the rear base of your own side.
The two decided on a division of labor, and Yu Zanghua Ma said: "The upstream of this small river is the Longzhong clan. Now is the autumn season, although they are small clans, they must also store a lot of grain and grass. Early tomorrow morning, Lord Dutong will lead his troops out of the valley, and I will send men to attack the Longzhong tribe and raise some grain and grass from them first. Although the Longzhong tribe is small, if we are inseparable from the battle in front of us, they will come out along the river valley to copy our back road, which will be a great disaster. Destroy their tent first, and we have no worries. ”
"The king is right, the most afraid of an unstable back road when marching and fighting! Our army is coming, and when they get here, they must have been informed and will take precautions. Tomorrow we will send elite soldiers and strong generals, and we must raze them in a battle! ”
Yu Zang Huama laughed: "How can a small man with less than a hundred tents be able to stop our army?" Don't worry, my lord, tomorrow I will send my own people to destroy them! ”
It was getting dark very quickly in the valley, and by this time the sun had already hidden behind the mountains, and the frightened birds in the surrounding mountains and forests were flying everywhere, and from time to time there was a wolf howl. Starting from the Western Envoy City, the march of hundreds of miles finally came to an end, and tens of thousands of troops from Yuzang Huama and below were very excited. Along the way, he did not encounter any obstruction from the Song army, and the Song army was defenseless when he wanted to come to the front. With mental calculation or unintentional, this battle is bound to be won.
Looking at the mouth of the Sandu River in the distance at night, the soldiers seemed to see countless gold and silver treasures beckoning to them.
Xu Ping's handsome tent of the Longzhong clan, Gao Daquan watched Wang Kai lead people to insert the small flag representing the Yuzang Huama Department into the sand table waste Anyuan Village on the table, and said: "Jie Shuai, Anyuan Village is only 20 miles away from the valley mouth, and when the thieves arrive there, they should rectify the troops and go out of the valley." We're on his flank here, and tomorrow they should send troops. ”
Xu Ping nodded: "No matter how brainless these thieves are, they will also send people to attack the Longzhong clan, one is to ensure the safety of the back road, and the other can grab some grain and grass." I guess they should have sent troops out of the valley to ambush the Qiang village, and at the same time sent a small group of men and horses to attack the Longzhong tribe. We must not let the thieves and horses come near here, nor can we disturb them, and we must take care of the proportions in between. Tomorrow your men and horses will harass the thieves along the way, and will slow them down their march here. Don't let them see the flaws, and make sure they recognize your people as Longzhong and paralyze them. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ping pointed to the sand table and said: "Use a day to let them turn around here, and don't let them rush directly through here during the day." After this turn, all your men and horses are to withdraw at once and hold the valley mouth behind. At that time, the dam we built above can be dug up, and the water will be released to flood the Seventh Army! The key to this battle is not whether you can drown the invading enemy, but that you must delay enough time to let Yuzang Huama gather troops in Anyuan Village. Only by letting most of the thieves pass through Anyuan Village can we use the least amount of effort to block them. The more people who let go of Anyuan Village, the easier it will be for us to fight later. Gao Daquan, this time you are doing fine work, not slamming and rushing, be careful! ”
Gao Daquan forked his hands: "The last general understands!" Tomorrow will not disturb the invading enemy too soon! ”
Xu Ping said to Wang Kai: "Send someone to inform Sang Yi again tonight, tomorrow morning there will be thieves going to commit Fuqiang Village, it is very likely that it is the three thousand party items from Huizhou 'Bubazi'." Let him hold the walled city tightly, and not face off against the invading enemy tomorrow. Most of his subordinates were stationed in Yongning Village and Fuqiang Village under the Wei River to the south of the Forts, and to the west of Sandu River. Preparations were made in the river early, and the bridge piers and other objects were pre-buried, and by tomorrow evening, Lu Fang's department was ordered to erect a pontoon bridge. At dawn the day after tomorrow, cross the river to counterattack the invading enemy! ”
Wang Kai promised to go to the side to arrange the military officials to draft the text and send it to the Sang Yi army.
Xu Ping said to Gao Daquan: "Tomorrow evening, eight or nine out of ten of the thieves who come to commit the thieves should have passed Gangu City. Yang Wenguang's troops should occupy the city at night and erect the city gate as soon as possible to block the retreat of the thieves. The road in the valley is rugged, and it will take a day for the military information there to reach Anyuan Village. When Yuzang Huama gets the news, the water we put should also be there. You led people to follow the flood, went to cover the killing, and fought with the Sang Yi department in the south and the north, and flanked the thieves. ”
After speaking, Xu Ping looked at the watery night outside the house and was silent for a long time. After preparing for a few months, we will find out how much we can gain in the next two days. This time, the forces of the two sides are equal, and they use the terrain to divide and surround the incoming enemy, and it is not a problem to defeat them, but to see if they can completely eat the enemy. Yu Zang Hua Ma or lure or threaten, almost brought all the surrounding Tibetan tribes to invade, and solved them here, and there was no resistance force for nearly a hundred miles around the West Envoy City.
