Three days later.

Ten miles before Yangguan, the war horses of the Turkic battalion neighed, and it was very lively.

Another huge reinforcement army hurried in, accompanied by a large number of cattle and sheep, the warm sun hid in the thick clouds, and there was a large shadow on the vast wasteland, but the rest of the place was golden, and the green grass swayed with the wind, revealing a bit of stubbornness and unyielding.

The Turkic prince walked out of the tent with a group of generals to welcome the arrival of reinforcements.

It was the king of Khotan who came to help, and the kingdom of Khotan was the same as the kingdom of Khotan, and the king of Khotan, who was closest to him, did not come.

After some politeness, the eldest prince changed his words: "The king of Khotan can lead 30,000 troops to support the king, as well as a large number of cattle and sheep, this kindness is remembered by the king, and it will never be negative in the future, the gathering of soldiers and horses is not a good thing, the terrain east of Yangguan is flat and open, please also ask the king of Khotan to lead the army to station, noncommittal?" ”

The east side of Yangguan is not a good location, once the Tang reinforcements come, the first to bear the brunt, the eldest prince is in the guise of letting Khotan block the Tang reinforcements.

The king of Khotan is not stupid, it is not bad to look at the terrain in the east, and it is convenient to get water, as for the imperial army, if you can fight, you can fight, the face of the Turkic prince can not be given, and it is a big deal to run, so he agreed, signaled his subordinates to go directly to camp and set up camp, and followed the eldest prince into the big tent.

With the 30,000 troops brought by the king of Khotan, the number of soldiers available to the eldest prince was as high as 100,000.

In the big tent, the eldest prince sat on the head, let the king of Khotan sit on the right, Wuchi sat on the left, and the others sat on both sides.

Bonfires are blazing, and volcano-roasted sheep are bubbling with oil.

The eldest prince personally cut off a piece of meat and handed it to the king of Khotan, as a courtesy, and the king of Khotan took it gratefully, knowing that the eldest prince was buying people's hearts and minds, and forced himself to express his position in this way, but he had to say: "The eldest prince, the soldiers and horses of Khotan went down by themselves, and they all obeyed the orders of the eldest prince." ”

"Then thank you, when you take Longyou and complete the task assigned by Father Khan, there will be a recompense." The eldest prince expressed his gratitude and made no secret of his intention to woo him.

"Please give the order of the eldest prince." The king of Khotan once again expressed his position.

The eldest prince smiled with satisfaction and looked at the Uchi.

Wuchi nodded knowingly: "Respected King of Khotan, in Xia Wuchi, the commander of the soldiers and horses under the account of the eldest prince, according to the order of the eldest prince, responsible for commanding the battle of Yangguan, your army came from afar, you need to rest, at dusk, our army launched an attack, and then please also ask your army to flank Yangguan." ”

The king of Khotan saw that the eldest prince did not say anything, which showed that this vultures were not simple, and he agreed: "No problem, how to fight specifically?" ”

"Yangguan was repaired by the Tang army, the cavalry could not rush up directly, only foot fighting, I have many soldiers, but Yangguan can not accommodate too many people at one time, I intend to choose ten attack points to attack at the same time, disperse the enemy's forces, the enemy army is few, once dispersed, the combat power is greatly damaged, ten points of wheel battle, take turns to attack, as long as a little breakthrough, the army presses, and the enemy is completely torn apart." Wu Chi said with a murderous face.

Attacking in ten directions at the same time can spread out the troops to avoid artillery bombardment, and can also give full play to the advantage of having more troops to force the opponent to divide his troops to resist.

I have to say that this Wuchi has some ability, and he finally thought of a way to deal with it in the past three days.

The biggest threat to Yangguan is artillery, the troops are concentrated on attacking, and a large area will be killed once it is blown up, although it will be blown up if it is dispersed, but the casualties will be much less.

The king of Khotan didn't know the power of the artillery, but he liked this way of playing, and said with a smile: "When the wild wolf attacks the buffalo, the strong buffalo will protect the periphery, and the wild wolf will scatter, test from different angles, look for opportunities, as long as one place is not guarded, you can rush in, bite the effective calf, the bison herd will inevitably be in chaos, the vultures commander This way of playing is very subtle, I don't know what our army needs to be responsible for?" ”

"Your army is in charge of three positions, how?" Wu Chi asked with a smile.

Three positions are not much, a thousand people are invested at a time, and three positions are three thousand people, even if the defeat and losses will not be large, they can afford it, and immediately agreed: "No problem, what are the specific three positions?" ”

The eldest prince suddenly smiled and said: "King Khotan, don't be in a hurry, eat something first, the meat is not delicious when it is cold, as for the attack position, go back and say, don't worry, drink some wine." ”

The king of Khotan was not polite, took the leather bag handed over and poured a sip, and said in surprise: "Good wine, this is Tang Guozhen's drunkenness, right?" I heard that this wine was made by the king of Han on Yangguan, and it is hard to find. ”

"Like? Turning around, let someone send one altar over, and this prince still has two altars left. ”

"Thank you very much!" The eyes of the king of Khotan lit up.

"Defeat Yangguan and capture King Han alive, you can make the recipe for winemaking, and it will be no problem to drink as much as you want when the time comes." The eldest prince said with a smile.

The king of Khotan understood the subtext behind him, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that the Khotanese army will be the first to rush to Yangguan and capture the king of Han alive and dedicate it to the eldest prince." ”

"Hahaha, good, if you really want to capture the King of Han alive, you can get 10,000 altars of Zhenguan drunk in Khotan every year."

"It's a deal." The King of Khotan's gaze became feverish.

It is not important that the wine will not be long in the future, but the important thing is that it will be completely tied to the eldest prince, who has the best chance of inheriting the throne, which is of great benefit to the Khotanese kingdom.

The two looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and smiled.

……

The sun is closed.

Qin Huaidao stood and looked into the distance, and said: "Another support army came, and brought a lot of cattle and sheep, the Turks now have a large number of troops, eat and drink without worry, it is time to attack, it is not noon, it is dusk, and the army is ordered to be on guard, 100,000 people, we are less than 10,000, we can't be careless." ”

Luo Wu nodded knowingly, motioned for a guard to give orders, and asked, "Uncle, how do you estimate they will attack?" The general way of fighting is useless to us, the Turks are not stupid, they know that we have artillery and send them to death in vain, and after holding it for three days, they must be thinking of a way to attack. ”

"There are no more than two kinds of offensive battles, one is to concentrate troops, a little breakthrough, the other is to disperse the troops, more flowers, concentrate troops in front of the shells is to send them to death, how much is not enough to bomb, the Turks are not fools, they will eat a trench and grow a wisdom, so, disperse the attack, more blossoming is the most likely, of course, it is not ruled out that the Turks continue to concentrate their forces to break through, no matter what, it doesn't matter, the soldiers will block it."

Luo Wu pondered the truth carefully, and couldn't help nodding and said: "It makes sense, but we have dug a trench in the past three days, and we can cover it through the trench and support at any time, and besides, it is not easy for people to be shot when they hide in the trench, but they can calmly shoot the enemy, Yangguan is already like a hedgehog, and it is useless to attack more." ”

"That's because you know the company deployment of Yangguan, and the enemy doesn't know."

Qin Huaidao said with a smile, seeing a group of people coming out of the Turkic camp, this group of people rode forward for a distance, stopped and pointed, as if they were talking about something, and continued: "The enemy came out to observe the situation, this is to prepare for an attack, it seems that the reinforcements are almost coming." ”

"You say, will our people in the three cities of Hanzhou take the opportunity to kill the Turks left behind to come and support?" Luo Wu asked suspiciously.

"It's hard to say, but it doesn't matter, as long as Yangguan wins, everything else is not a problem, but it's a pity that the Turks suddenly released mountain eagles to kill our carrier pigeons, and the news can't be transmitted, and I don't know what everyone's situation is now." Qin Huaidao looked in the direction of Qitun with some concern, and then looked in the direction of Loulan.

As for the end, with Xue Rengui guarding it, Qin Huaidao was not worried.

"Do you want to send someone to inform Yumen Pass and let An Guogong send troops to help?" Luo Wu proposed.

"No, if it really can't be stopped, we still have the strength to kill it, then we can go to Yumen Pass, An Guogong come over, in case the Turks send troops to attack Yumen Pass, we have no way to retreat, you have to remember, the battlefield is dangerous, the most taboo gambling, you have to leave a few more ways to retreat."

"Remembered." Luo Wu nodded solemnly.

Not long after, the Turks who came up to observe were divided into two, one returning to the Great Tent and the other going east.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement of the Turks, Qin Huaidao estimated that the enemy would not attack at noon, in order to ensure the period, let the army have lunch early, and asked to eat more, as soon as the battle sounded, there may not be time to eat, and all the feather arrows were also distributed, and they were ready for the big battle.

Time slowly slips away, and before you know it, it's dusk.

The setting sun was like fire, as if feeling the danger, and hurriedly ran behind a thick cloud of clouds, and the earth instantly darkened, and even the birds did not dare to fly over the sun.

The wind is fierce, and the grass is all over the sky.

The desolate land is full of slaughter.
