Chapter 663: Armageddon
Turkic, inside the Great Tent.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces were solemn, one Yangguan is difficult enough to deal with, and then there is an army of 10,000 people, how can this battle be fought? Everyone looked at the shaman.
The shaman suddenly regretted seizing power, he was responsible for losing the battle before, and he had to take responsibility for losing the next battle, the question was whether he could win the battle?
The eldest prince was inexplicably relieved, and when he saw the shaman's depressed expression, he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh, but after all, he was one, and if he continued to lose in the future, he was also not qualified to take the position of Great Khan.
Soon, a suspicious fox came to mind, where did the Tang army get reinforcements? Could it be that there is a problem with the army on the left led by his father? Or was the war of Tibet defeated?
The shaman also thought of this question, looked at the eldest prince and asked bluntly, "The eldest prince, have you received the battle report of the left army recently?" Also, is there any news coming from Tibet? ”
The flying eagles in the army are all in the hands of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince shook his head with a solemn face.
The shaman continued: "The Han King of the Tang Kingdom can take a few thousand people to walk through Longyou and arrive here, how can the Tang Imperial Court Army do it? Unless Tubo is defeated and Zhangye is lost, second, judging from the information we have, the king of Han refused to be appointed by the imperial court to serve as the commander of the expedition, even if Tubo is defeated, it is impossible for the Tang court army to come to assist the king of Han, and there must be something behind this that we don't know. ”
Wu Chi couldn't help but remind: "Lord Shaman, these are no longer important, the important thing is that they are indeed here, and there are more than 10,000 people, how should our army fight next?" ”
"That's right, now the army is under your command, you give the order." The eldest prince also took the opportunity to say, throw off the responsibility, and if he is defeated, he will be able to get out in the future.
Where would the shaman not be able to hear the meaning, but the words had already been spoken, regretting that it was too late, thought about it, and looked at the king of Khotan: "The Tang army is on the left side, that is, the side of your army, you will keep an eye on it, don't let them disturb our army's attack on Yangguan, as for the night attack, your army does not need to participate." ”
"That's fine!" The king of Khotan was eager and agreed.
"The night attack plan remains unchanged, let's discuss the division of labor." The shaman continued, his face beaming with confidence.
This self-confidence infected everyone, and the military spirit waited for a while.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a scout hurriedly came in: "Inform the eldest prince that there are three large armies in the rear of our army, each with more than 10,000 people, and the composition of personnel is complex. ”
"What?"
Everyone's faces changed drastically, and their newly settled hearts were in turmoil again.
Even the shaman was confused, staring at the scout and asking, "Is this true?" How far is it? ”
"Lord Hui, the situation is true, the distance is only five miles, and many people in the rear have seen it."
"It's so close, why are you only reporting now?" The shaman was furious.
The scout took a step back in fright, and quickly explained: "Back to my lord, the other party is strange, and the scouts who scattered out didn't notice it, as if it suddenly appeared. ”
"What about the scouts who scattered? Who is responsible? The shaman asked.
"Both...... They haven't come back yet. ”
If you don't come back, there is only one possibility, if you are wiped out, the grain transport team may also fall into the hands of the other party.
30,000 people is not a small number, looking at the posture, it is obvious that they are here to support Yangguan, how can this be fought?
Wu Chi reacted quickly, and hurriedly looked at the eldest prince: "It's not good, I'm afraid it's the army of the three cities of Hanzhou, and only their army is complicated." ”
"Impossible, they are surrounded by the remaining troops of our army, unless there are reinforcements ......" The eldest prince arrived at a certain possibility first, his face changed greatly, he looked at Wu Chi and asked: "The situation is not good, is there a way?" ”
"Break through, it's too late." Wu Chi hurriedly said.
The eldest prince looked at the shaman: "What do you mean?" ”
"No, they only have more than 40,000 people, and our army still has more than 70,000 people, and there are more troops than them, as long as the king of Khotan stops the 10,000 Tang troops, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to stare at Yangguan, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will kill back and kill the enemy troops in the rear, it is not easy to attack Yangguan, but it is still very simple to prevent the enemy from attacking Yangguan." The shaman made a decisive decision.
When everyone heard that it made sense, their hearts were reassured.
There are fortifications in Yangguan, and they can only fight on foot, and it is difficult to fight if they are not what everyone is good at.
But field warfare is what everyone is best at, and the chances of winning back to the rear are very good.
Morale boosts instantly.
……
Yangguan.
Qin Huaidao also saw the army that rushed to support, at first he thought it was Luo Zhang, and notified the fifth regiment cruising on the periphery to go up to check, and the news was quickly passed through the flag, and he learned that it was Li Jing and Fang Yiai who came with the army, Luo Zhang, Su Dingfang and Luo Tong appeared behind the Turks with the army, and their hearts fell.
Reinforcements have arrived, and it's time for a decisive battle.
The news soon spread throughout Yangguan, and when the soldiers heard that reinforcements had arrived, they surrounded the Turks, and their morale immediately soared.
"Woooooo
A thick, low trumpet sounded and spread throughout the wilderness.
The Turkic army moved, and a cavalry rushed out of the camp, stopped after a certain distance forward, spread the vigilance, and did not come up to challenge, revealing a bit of weirdness.
The army on the left also moved, and the array confronted the army led by Li Jing, maintaining about three miles.
Qin Huaidao was a little surprised by this scene, it is understandable to take the initiative to attack, what kind of way to play when he takes off half of his pants, occupying the pit but not?
Defense?
Qin Huaidao had a guess, but he didn't dare to be careless, the reason why Yangguan could be held was because of the fortifications and terrain, and he was not good at rushing down to field battles, so he couldn't move blindly, so he continued to observe, while loudly ordering all armies to prepare for battle.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move, in case of traps.
Anyway, according to Shouyang Pass, as many kills as you come, you can't lose your geographical advantage.
Not long after, the Turkic army pulled out of camp and rolled towards the rear.
But the two people who confronted each other did not move at all, and they were on the alert with murderous vigilance.
Luo Ying asked worriedly, "Uncle, the Turks want to run?" Or are you going to hit the people behind them first? ”
"It is very likely to fight the rear first, leaving two armies to keep an eye on it, to prevent us from sending troops, uncle, let's send troops." Luo Wu's face was determined and murderous.
"Don't worry, take a look first, in case the enemy kills the rifles, and wait for them to go away." Qin Huaidao said cautiously, in case the left army returns, the consequences will be very serious.
The two brothers Luo Ying nodded knowingly and said no more.
After waiting for a while, the Turkic army walked away, the hostility was clear, Qin Huaidao no longer hesitated, and secretly glad that the mines had not been buried, otherwise they would block everyone's way, and shouted in a deep voice: "Order, the whole army is ready to go, prepare more feather arrows, guard regiment, bring all artillery and bombs." ”
"Obey!" The two brothers quickly ran to make arrangements.
It didn't take long for the army to move, and the feathered arrows were distributed, and one by one they turned on their horses, their eyes fanatical.
Qin Huaidao looked at the mountains of feather arrows, as well as all kinds of equipment and weapons brought, no one left behind, and thought about it, the Guards Regiment left a battalion, and all the injured brothers of the Special Operations Division were left, a thousand people smaller, it was enough.
Soon, the army was ready to go.
Luo Ying hurriedly came over: "Uncle, I'll take someone first?" 10,000 people are like staring at us to death, and the Turks look up to themselves too much, do you really think that our special combat division can't fight in the field? ”
Luo Wu immediately objected: "You can't attack hard, I'll take the artillery battalion first, and disrupt their formation, and the war horses will inevitably be in chaos after they are frightened, and if you shoot again, it's foolproof." ”
"Okay." Luo Ying had always been convinced of his brother's ability in the art of war, and looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao nodded and said: "Fight according to what Luo Wu said, however, it is enough to defeat the blocking troops in front, there is no need to chase and kill, kill to the left, support Wei Guogong and them, as long as the enemy in front of them runs, the enemy army on the left is a lone army, and it is easy to fight." ”
"It makes sense, or Uncle is wise." Luo Wu said admiringly.
Luo Ying thought so, nodded and said: "That's right, the lone army will not last long, we and Wei Guogong will fight on both sides, and we will win, if we can eat this army, the Turks are not worried." ”
"Pass the order to the Duke of Weiguo." Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Wu.
Luo Wu nodded knowingly, and quickly arranged for the flag soldiers to pass the order.
After a while, the distant Turkic army still showed no sign of retreating, it could not be a trap, Qin Huaidao shouted: "The artillery battalion of the Guards Regiment takes the lead, and when it reaches the firing range, quickly build a position, give me a bomb!" The special operations division keeps up, ready to attack at any time, act! ”
"Obey!" The generals clenched their fists and took their lives.
The army quickly moved and descended the hill along the only passage where no trenches had been dug, and the artillery battalion of the Guards Regiment took the lead, rushed down the hill and hurried for some distance, stopped to set up grenadiers, adjusted the angle, opened the boxes and took out one shell after another.
The special operations division came up and guarded the rear of both sides of the artillery battalion, staring at the front.
Armageddon is on the verge of breaking out!
