Chapter 979: Tricking the Enemy

For now, except for Li Xiuning herself, no one knows what kind of game she is arranging.

Mo looked at the shadows, it seemed that there were at least 30,000 cavalry troops with Yang Miaozhen bluffing to 90,000, but in fact, they were not around here at all. Yang Miaozhen received a military order to disperse and disappear immediately after confirming that the Turkic spies had detected false information.

And then, it went directly south, passed through the land of Yuzhou, and entered the almost uninhabited Jizhou, and then went directly to Youzhou! And on the way, he also successfully converged with the 7,000 people led by Qin Liangyu.

"Sister Miaozhen, how did you appear here?" Qin Liangyu was a little surprised, the cavalry led by Yang Miaozhen is definitely the most important combat force in Bingzhou, isn't Bingzhou going to be attacked by the Turks, why can't you defend your home well, but attack around the rear like her!?

Qin Liangyu originally thought that it was just Li Xiuning who asked her to harass the rear and force the Turkic army to retreat, but if she thought about it carefully, it was unlikely, after all, even if Qiu Mingyuan who took the northern line was added, it was only an army of 14,000 people, and there were more than 100,000 troops in the Turkic rear, so it would not affect the withdrawal of the army anyway. That's what made her wonder.

For this reason, for the sake of safety, when making a detour, Qin Liangyu also specially ran to Yuzhou on horseback, borrowed some cavalry from Huofeng, and made up 15,000 before continuing to march towards Youzhou.

But now it seems that Li Xiuning's plan is much bigger than he thought.

Before Yang Miaozhen could answer, she hit a woman dressed as a man next to her and smiled: "What, I only know you Sister Miaozhen, and I don't recognize me?" ”

"Sister Miaojin." Qin Liangyu smiled, she really didn't pay attention. But the doubts were even greater, and I looked at it: "Huh? Sister Lihua is also there? ”

Yin Lihua nodded and smiled, her temperament didn't have many words, and it was normal not to speak.

"How's that, aren't you a little confused?" Yang Miaozhen laughed and stepped forward to pat Qin Liangyu's shoulder. "To be honest, I didn't understand it at first, but now it's clear."

"How?" Qin Liangyu asked urgently.

Yang Miaozhen smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't forget that there is still Qiu Mingyuan's army in the north, calculate the time, Lu Lingqi, Zhou Zaixing, and Ainur have all arrived to converge." ”

"Ainur's Turkic cavalry?" Qin Liangyu's eyes lit up.

"Hahahaha, since you dare to come and provoke us, of course you can't give them good fruits to eat!" Yang Miaozhen laughed.

Ashina Huqin would never have thought that there was almost no combat power in the current state, let alone that he would run directly to his rear because he was so encircled.

"Report ...... A large caravan was found ahead, which had now been intercepted, and dared to ask the general what to do. A former military recruit suddenly arrived.

Hearing this, the faces of the four girls were not very good-looking.

Strictly speaking, they are not local natives of Daliang, and they do not have any sense of belonging to Daliang, but because of the similarity of the Central Plains culture, in the division of ethnic groups, they naturally have a greater sense of identity with the Daliang side.

In the end, it is always true that the Turks are foreign.

At the moment, the Turks are proper invaders, and the whole north has been plagued, at this moment, there are still people who dare to risk a big disapproval to trade with the Turks, or a large caravan, what is this not an enemy? Such an act is no different from betraying the country.

Quisling? Ha, who likes it again.

Businessmen pursue profits, which is understandable, but I am afraid that many businessmen have no bottom line for profit. In the history of China, there are not too many such cases, anyway, people are vicious dogs.

"Kill them all!" Yang Miaozhen has the straightest temper, and she doesn't want to wave her hand directly to order.

"Wait." But it was Xu Miaojin who stopped him. "Let's let my sister ask a question or two."

Yang Miaozhen didn't care, but he didn't think that a caravan belonging to Daliang could torture any useful information.

The entire caravan was tortured, but Xu Miaojin inspected the goods, and found no contraband, basically silk, tea, some grain and a very small part of agricultural tools, and it was not enough to cross the line.

Originally, according to these things, Xu Miaojin also planned to save people's lives, after all, there was nothing wrong with doing business, that is, the period was too sensitive, and the Turks plundered so much finance, and it was not wrong to earn it back through business profits, but the problem was with the caravan people.

I am very frank about doing business, and I don't shy away from how much profit I make. But when it comes to identity, they bite to death one by one, and they fight tightly, only to spit out a Qingzhou Li family, which is said to be a famous local home of great benevolent people, but more, keep silent.

Just kidding, no, can an ordinary caravan officer have such a high quality? So many people can withstand the torture!? There must be a demon when things go wrong, and the girls have every reason to suspect that there is some unknown secret here.

However, people don't say anything about death, but there is nothing they can do.

It's normal not to say it, this caravan was secretly formed by Gao Yuyao, all the members are carefully selected, and loyalty can be guaranteed, but loyalty does not mean everything, and other means must be used to control it, so as not to expose secrets that should not be said.

After all, Gao Yuyao is the Empress Dowager of Daliang, if it is revealed that she is trading with the Turks in private, the impact is not just bad, it can be said that once the incident happens, the great reputation that Gao Yuyao has accumulated will plummet in an instant, and her position will be precarious. After all, others don't care how much profit Gao Yuyao can make from it to use it for the country, they only care about her as the queen mother's rival.

It is Gao Yuyao who is very cautious in the selection of people, and controls their families in their hands, if anyone really dares to talk nonsense, the result can be imagined. That is to say, for the caravan personnel, they kept silent, at most they were tortured and died, but if they did, it would be a harm to the lives of everyone's families, and everyone could tell which was more important, even if it was painful, they could only grit their teeth and resist.

Of course, Yang Miaozhen and the others couldn't guess that this caravan belonged to Gao Yuyao, after all, Gao Yuyao's figure was like that, and he generally wouldn't think about it, but he wouldn't believe in the Qingzhou Li family, which was at most a puppet pushed to the foreground.

Since you can't figure it out, let's take it with you for the time being, it doesn't seem to be useful for the time being, but what if it's really useful? After all, you won't lose money figuring out the situation.

The army of the southern front totaled 45,000, advancing towards Youzhou at full speed, and when it entered the territory of Youzhou, the whole army was divided into two, Yang Miaozhen and Yin Lihua led the first army, Qin Liangyu and Xu Miaojin led the first army, and swept the city at the fastest speed.

If you don't sweep, you can't do it, but they don't have logistical supplies, and once they run out of food and are besieged, the consequences will be unimaginable. And the appearance of Yin Lihua and Xu Miaojin is to ensure the efficiency of the rapid pull-out of the city.

Although the intelligence agencies have not been completely built and perfected, they still have their own systems, of which spy personnel are naturally an indispensable part.

Maybe these people hiding in the city of Youzhou can't open the city gate, but it's not a problem to make some preparations in advance to cause a certain amount of chaos, such as burning a few people in the city, in the relatively sparsely populated cities of Youzhou, this kind of thing is not difficult to do.

As long as it attracts the attention of the Turks in the city, and the city gate cannot be closed at the first time, and the army with the advantage of cavalry launches a surprise attack, it can rush into the city before the city gate is closed.

And to contact these undercover agents, it is naturally Yin Lihua and Xu Miaojin, who are currently in control of the intelligence team, otherwise they would not have followed the army all the way. And these two also have some ability to lead troops, but they are not outstanding.

For example, Yin Lihua, she and Qiu Mingyuan are the same type, and they are more guarded, but the sisters are too powerful, so they basically don't need her.

On the day after the southern front was divided into two roads and five cities were captured in one day, the army of the northern line that had not divided its troops also took two cities, and at this time, it happened to be the third day that Ashina Huqin was slowly advancing on the front line.

After three days of marching for a hundred miles, as far as the army is concerned, the speed of this march is also within the normal range, not to mention the cold winter, but the problem is that this is a Turkic army, who doesn't have a war horse or what? And it's not a hundred miles away, and it's still more than 20 miles away, but Ashina Huqin doesn't dare to go.

Li Xiuning did not move, and the spies sent out did not detect any extra troops, but the army did not see it, but in a forest a little further to the south, it did find traces left by a large army, and the same was true in the north.

Ashina Huqin became more and more sure that the other party was luring the enemy deep into the urn to catch the turtle, but he was much more patient than he thought, and it seemed that he would not attack until he entered the camp.

However, since he knew the other party's plan, how could Ashina Huqin be stationed in the camp, didn't he take the initiative to send himself into the other party's encirclement network?

It's just that if he doesn't enter, the enemy won't come out, and he can't do anything about it, which is more or less a dead knot, and he can't solve it.

"Stop the march and set up camp." It's still early, but Ashina Huqin has already ordered, in fact, after three days, Ashina Huqin also thinks that Li Xiuning has seen through his idea of making plans, and everything must be recalculated, thinking about how to deal with it.

However, what he didn't know was that at the same moment, Li Xiuning was drinking with Da Qiao Meizizi.

"I have to say that a pot of wine is warm in winter, not to mention the warmth, and it is not funny." Da Qiao took a sip of the hot rice wine, and his face was flushed. "No wonder Sister Qingzhao likes to have a few sips the most."

"She's a person who really enjoys life." Li Xiuning nodded, she didn't like the things in this cup, but she didn't deny Li Qingzhao's preferences.

After chatting about the sisters in the south, the topic finally returned to the current battle situation, I have to say that Da Qiao is still very worried, the people Ashina Huqin is a real 80,000, and they are now only more than 30,000 foot soldiers here, if there is an accident, the few remaining troops in the rear will really be dangerous.

"The Turkic army is about to enter our former camp, how should we deal with it?" Da Qiao is all worried, the camp they are in now can be said to be far away from the old camp, although the two mountains are not real, but they can really see the general outline, and the distance is very close.

"Impossible." Li Xiuning waved his hand and said with a smile: "If Ashina Huqin is a reckless man, he would naturally have been stationed a long time ago, but he is not, since he has not entered for three days, how can he really enter the station, I expect that he has already set up camp on the spot at this moment, and will never enter again." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for scouts to report that the marching Turkic army had already set up camp.

The corners of Li Xiuning's mouth raised slightly: "I'll earn him a wave today." ”

That night, Li Xiuning personally led the army to launch a night attack, which was completely beyond the expectations of the Turkic side, after all, the 60,000 troops led by Ashina Huqin were only more than 20 miles away from here, and no matter how you look at it, it was not the moment when Li Xiuning should attack.

Unprepared, the 15,000 Turkic troops stationed in the camp were killed by surprise and immediately showed their despair, and they originally sent people to ask for help, but they never imagined that Ashina Huqin's order was: Withdraw!

That's right, let them abandon the captured battalion and retreat directly!

Ashina Huqin thought that Li Xiuning was cheating, and he had a trick of luring the enemy deep from the beginning, but he saw through it and made a plan, but he was also 'recognized' by the other party, originally Ashina Huqin was still thinking about how to deal with it, but obviously Li Xiuning made the first move.

Under such a close distance of his army, Li Xiuning still dared to send troops, which can only show one thing, that is, there are definitely more troops in ambush nearby, and once reinforcements are sent, it is likely that even the reinforcements will be eaten. And if they don't send them to retreat directly, at least a large part of it can be saved.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Xiuning was even bolder than he thought, because what Li Xiuning took was not a night attack to recapture the camp at all, but ...... Encircle!

Yes, Li Xiuning directly surrounded the camp and sealed 15,000 Turkic soldiers directly in the camp.

This move is even more abnormal, and it also makes Ashina Huqin more sure of his thoughts.

Yes, it's definitely a lure to the enemy!

That, after all, is an army of fifteen thousand, to save or not to save?

Rescue, it is almost certain that you will fall into the encirclement, and if you don't save it, is it really just sitting idly by?

Li Xiuning is forcing him to make a choice!

And since you dare to force people, how can you dare to behave like this if you don't have the confidence?

"Li Xiuning!" Ashina gritted his teeth angrily, he has always been unscrupulous in beating anyone, but every time he meets Li Xiuning, he has to suffer a big loss, which makes him not angry.

But anger to anger, Ashina Huqin will not risk himself and more troops, after smashing it, he said unwillingly: "Find a way to pass the order, let them break through and retreat tomorrow, and we will find a way to respond." ”

Under Li Xiuning's deliberate waterproofing, Ashina Huqin's military order finally reached the camp, and as soon as the morning dawned, the Turkic army in the camp began to break through.

Li Xiuning did not respond, and after effectively intercepting and killing some of them, most of the Turkic soldiers let them go, and then ......

"Kill......"

Li Xiuning led the troops to chase behind, and the 10,000 Turkic troops ran in front, which was also a sin, who let the big battalion be on the mountain, and if they wanted to break through, they could only abandon their horses, because they had no speed advantage at all, and they could only be chased and run.

This chase is more than ten miles, and after another period of pursuit, it is time to chase to the headquarters camp of Ashina Huqin.

Ashina was shocked.

"How many pursuers are there?"

"About 30,000."

"How's the morale?"

"This, morale is very high."

"Who's in charge?"

"I'm not sure, but the banner of Li Zi is still there, and I think it's the female general Li Xiuning."

More than 30,000 chasing 10,000 is nothing, but what if you know that there are more than 60,000 troops behind the other party? This is very abnormal, not to mention that it is still as imposing as a rainbow, and even Li Xiuning, the main general, personally went into battle.

The suspicious Ashina suddenly made a decision and shouted: "Order, immediately pull out the camp and retreat!" Continue to send people to explore around, not a single grass or tree is allowed to be spared, and be sure to find the location of the ambush! ”

Hmm, obviously Ashina Huqin thinks that Li Xiuning is completely prepared, and he is really ready to eat their army, no matter how bad it is, he has the certainty of defeating them, otherwise Li Xiuning would not do this.

In this regard, Li Xiuning smiled faintly.

"Being smart is being smart, that's what I said."
