Chapter 269: Defend and Attack!

Tian Ainu hesitated for a moment, then showed a relaxed smile and said, "Since I have promised you, are you still afraid that I will not regret it?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Of course not, I'm just worried, if you hide something from Jiang Gongzi, he won't be unfavorable to you, right?" ”

Tian Ainu's heart warmed, and he shook his head and said, "Don't worry." Although Childe has always been suspicious, he has always trusted me. This time I went to the Western Regions to track Shen Mu, and I was only sent alone, in front of the son, how could I show my feet when I said anything. ”

Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine." Anu, it's really hard for you to do this. ”

Tian Ainu listened, glared at him with disgust, and was about to speak, when there was a few gentle knocks on the door, and someone outside the door shouted: "Girl, is the Yang guard here?" ”

Yang Fan gestured to Tian Ainu, got up and walked to open the door, only to see a border sergeant in military uniform standing outside the door, holding a spear in his hand, and beside him stood the post officer of the post house. As soon as the soldier saw Yang Fan, he said, "Guard Yang, Zhonglang will have a good time to go down!" ”

Yang Fan knew that once this Zhonglang general was idle, he would definitely want to see him, after all, the news of the Turkic attack was sent by him, and he still had to ask him about some specific situations. Yang Fan turned around and said to Tian Ainu: "Anu, I'll go back when I go!" ”

Tian Ainu nodded gently, watched Yang Fan leave, and immediately got up and said sweetly to the post official who was about to turn around and leave: "Uncle, where can I boil some hot water?" ”

What girl doesn't want to dress up beautifully in front of her sweetheart, but when Tian Ainu first met Yang Fan, she was dressed in a night suit and lying in the ditch covered in blood; This time she was dressed as a man, crossing the desert with him in the wind and snow, wearing a thick leather robe, covered with yellow sand and dust, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, of course she wanted to clean herself up fragrant and white.

Yang Fan followed the soldier out of the post house, but did not go to the Zhonglang General's Mansion, but walked directly to Qianmen Street. Arrived at Qianmen Street. Seeing the tall city gate from afar, Yang Fan guessed that Ye Zhonglang would inevitably arrange defense in the city.

Yang Fan followed the soldier to the city gate, and climbed the tower along the military road, where he saw many soldiers busily carrying boxes of arrows, barrels of fire oil, crossbows, and wolf teeth on the city or installing and wiping.

Yang Fan saw Ye Yunbao at the battlement of the city wall in front of the city tower. Ye Yunbao seemed to be giving some orders. There were several generals beside him, and after Ye Yunbao finished his order, these generals left one after another, Ye Yunbao turned his head and saw Yang Fan, so he walked over. Yang Fan hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Zhonglang General!" ”

Ye Yunbao waved his hand and said, "No need to be formal." I have already asked the Flying Fox Guard, the information you sent is very important, although Xu Yisheng is too cautious. It is not accepted, but your credit cannot be buried. At the same time, at the critical juncture, you can think of a way to pretend to be Xu Yisheng, and command the defenders of Feihukou to return safely on his behalf, which is even more miraculous, and a certain has reported this matter to Liangzhou, and I believe it will be transferred to Luoyang soon! ”

Yang Fan bowed and said, "Thank you, General Zhonglang!" ”

Ye Yunbao smiled and said, "General Ben already knows about the hundred horsemen of Yulin Weizhong going to the Holy Oracle to the Western Regions on business. I specially ordered someone to check the official letter about you. It seems that you have been missing for a long time, and your team leader Huang Xuchang has also asked the Shanzhou Mansion to inquire about your whereabouts. ”

Yang Fan said: "Yes, I originally went to the Hexi region to collect intelligence, and accidentally broke into the Turks. Hearing that they intended to attack the White Pavilion, they came here. ”

Ye Yunbao said: "Well, tomorrow I will send someone to escort you to Liangzhou Mansion, and from there I will go to Luojing." What do you think? ”

Yang Fan said: "There is General Lao Ye, but I don't know where my partners are now?" ”

Ye Yunbao said: "When the official letter comes down." They are still in the water, but where they are now is not known to the officials. ”

Yang Fan said: "In this case, then I will go to Liangzhou first, and wait for me to hear their news, and then I will stop." ”

Yang Fan said to Huang Xuchang and them at the beginning, if they have military merits, they will never swallow them alone, if they go back to Luoyang alone at this moment and throw Huang Xuchang and them in Huangshui, what is the matter, even if they want to share the merits with them, it is impossible, so they have this plan. ”

Ye Yunbao said indispensably: "Your itinerary can be arranged by yourself, and this general will send someone to escort you to Liangzhou safely!" ”

Yang Fan thanked him, and Ye Yunbao said: "Although the news of the Turkic attack Xu Lang was not accepted, wasting an opportunity to prepare early, the information you heard is not useless. I want to know, how many soldiers and horses the Turks came this time, who is the commander of the army, who are the tribes involved, what is the relationship with each other, do you know these situations? ”

Yang Fan said: "I know a little bit about it, and I will report it to the general to know!" ”

Yang Fan told Ye Yunbao about the commanders of the two major armies of the Turkic army and the strength of some of the major tribes involved, especially the conflict between Ashina and Ashdena, Ye Yunbao listened carefully and refused to let go of a little detail.

At this time, Moon and Musi, the two sons-in-law of Weng, had already set up a large camp in Feihukou, and the felt tent was formed into a piece, stretching for ten miles.

Moon and Muss's men and horses numbered about fifty thousand, and in addition to these men, there were tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, which were their rations, and at the same time, they circled around the edge of the desert and circled from the Mimo River, so that they could be fed from the tribes that lived in the area along the way. So it's not fast.

They could not march in a straight line in the desert to the Flying Fox Pass, the cattle, sheep and horses could not bear the cold of the night in the desert, and they could no longer bring the forage needed by tens of thousands of livestock and the drinking water of the people and horses.

The camp, forage field, and firewood pile in Flying Fox Pass were all burned down by the Tang army, but Moon and Musi still chose this place as their camping location, because the mountainous terrain here is suitable for camping. Although this place is far away from Mingweishu, it is impossible for them to surround Mingweishu right now, because they still lack siege weapons.

The Flying Fox Pass is on the two hillsides, and not far away is the mountain forest, where they can make a large number of ladders, nest cars, stone throwers, trench bridges, ram bars, Saimen knife carts and other siege weapons, while waiting for another army led by Zhu Tu to come and converge.

The Gobi area that Zhu Tu traveled was farther than theirs, and he needed to send light cavalry to feint to attack Juyanhai, so he would arrive later than them, and when Zhu Tu arrived, Moon had just made a large number of siege equipment. Moon and Jutu's design is quite efficient.

Since Yang Fan wanted to tell Ye Yunbao the news, he couldn't help but mention what he had done in Xue Yantuo City. The information he mentioned was very detailed and very important, because he had impersonated Muss and heard from Moon in person, and these secrets were not easy for outsiders to learn.

Ye Yunbao is a very steady and alert general, he not only has to analyze the information that Yang Fan said has use value, but also analyzes the truth and falsity of the information Yang Fan said.

He didn't doubt Yang Fan's identity, if Yang Fan was fake, he didn't need to protect so many Flying Fox Mouth soldiers at all, so as to strengthen Ming Weishu's defensive strength, he only needed to lead a few remnants of the defeated army to "flee back", and if the Turks wanted to come to the outside to join forces, it would be useless to send one or two people in.

Ye Yunbao was worried about whether the information Yang Fan inquired about was necessarily credible news, so Yang Fan had to say the things that he pretended to be Mu Si and confused.

Ye Yunbao was already amazed when he heard that he looked the same as Ashina Musi, the son of Mo Si, and when he heard him tell that thrilling story, he was even more amazed. This time, he finally believed the information provided by Yang Fan.

Ye Yunbao praised again and again: "Amazing! That's amazing! You are young, brave and strategic, and when you led the defenders of Flying Fox Pass to retreat today, you showed a very clever art of war. ”

Yang Fan felt ashamed in his heart and didn't even dare to say it.

Ye Yunbao saw that he was humble and polite, and he had a good impression, so he couldn't help but praise him a few more words, and said, "This information is very important. The beacon fire has been lit, and it is believed that Liangzhou will soon send reinforcements. At that time, I will consult with the reinforcement generals and see how we can use the information you provide. ”

Yang Fan looked at the tense and busy preparations for war at the head of the city, and asked worriedly: "The Turkic army of 100,000 is surging, can this Ming Weishu be able to hold it?" ”

Ye Yunbao said calmly: "In this world, there has never been an indestructible and impregnable castle. Whether Ming Weishu can hold it or not, it depends on the strength and combat strength of the enemy and us, the use of tactics by the main general, and whether the reinforcements can go to the aid in time, and ...... Luck! ”

He held on to the battlements and looked at the vast snowfield outside the city, where there were many messy rutted hoof prints, because the sun was slanting in the west and the twilight was deep, the originally bright snow color had become dim, and the trampled place had a feeling of withering into mud.

Ye Yunbao pointed to the city and said to Yang Fan: "Since the construction of this Mingwei Fortress during the Taizong period, so far, this place has been attacked five times and successfully defended seven times!" Can you hold it this time, hey! We'll know in a few days......"

Ye Yunbao's conversation and demeanor have always been quite calm, and his expression and temperament are even more majestic and gentle, only at this time, the two sneers of "hehe" have a bit of the coldness and solemnity of the border general.

Yang Fan frowned and said, "Haven't you fought back?" ”

Ye Yunbao took a breath of air, spit out a cloud of white mist, shook his head and said: "The Turks are cruel, but they are not reckless, there are many resourceful people among their leaders, and their soldiers are all cavalry, they come like arrows, go like a desperate string, fight if you want to, leave if you want to, chase?" It's so hard! ”

Yang Fan frowned when he heard this, and looked at the vast grassland: "Really...... Can you only be beaten passively? ”
