Tang Jun cavalry took out the tent and set up camp. After that, more than 100 cavalry patrolled around to prevent the enemy from appearing at any time. However, it is obviously a worry. There are still about 500 miles away from Guzang, so we should not meet Sui soldiers. Even if these horses run for 100 miles a day, it will take five days, and the speed of this group of cavalry will be slower.
Several officers are discussing things in a circle. Although it is a long distance, they should make preparations early to find ways to attract the attention of Sui soldiers and delay the progress of Qu Tutong’s attack on Gu Zang. At the same time, they also tell Li Shentong Datang that reinforcements are coming. It is necessary to hold on.
Several officers said that they had attacked Jincheng and sent troops to Gu Zang’s grain route to harass Qu Tutong. They said that a vicious attack would attract Qu Tutong’s attention. Everyone had their own opinions, and they all insisted on their own opinions. When they left the big army, Xue Wanjun gave some opinions, but he also said that they needed to make their own best judgments because they were not very clear about Gu Zang’s situation, which caused several generals to insist on their own opinions.
After arguing for more than half an hour, there was no final conclusion, so several officers broke up in discord. After all, there are still a few days and five days before Gu Zang, so we should be able to come up with countermeasures, right?
The night is deep, most of the cavalry are asleep, and a few soldiers have lit bonfires outside their camps, constantly patrolling to prevent possible dangers, but according to most soldiers, what dangers can there be here? The route they chose was not a golden city, and it was very unlikely that the Sui soldiers would find out about it.
When the night is getting deeper and deeper, it is the most sleepy time for people. The patrol soldiers tighten their robes and get sleepy as they get closer to the bonfire. No one knows that pairs of bright eyes are staring at them in the distance.
In the distance, the first marksman Xi Junmai, the manager of Longxi Road in Qu Tutong, is squatting and looking at the bonfire face in the distance with a cold smile. Liang Jianfang’s face around him is also smiling. Neither of them thought that they would meet Tang Bing here.
The siege of Gu Zang is just a fantasy. Qu Tutong has another purpose. Xi Junmai and Liang Jianfang were ordered to take Liangzhou further in the south to make preparations. If Da Sui successfully takes Liangzhou, Yiwu and Dunhuang to the western regions, he will take control of Da Sui’s hands, which will not only crack down on the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, but also prepare for entering the western regions in the future.
The two men were ordered to camp all the way south before sunset. Because this area is mostly grassland and desert, they are almost uninhabited. They are not worried about being discovered by the enemy, but Qu Tutong is a cautious person and his department has become very cautious. Xi Junmai sent scouts to check the surrounding situation and sent people to try to sneak into Liangchuan County to get first-hand information. Afterwards, I wanted to come to Xi Junmai and I had to secretly rejoice that this move was better than that of Britain.
It was the southern scouts who discovered the trace of Tang Jun and quickly returned the information to Xi Junmai and Liang Jianfang. When they got the news, they immediately made arrangements. Xi Junmai and Liang Jianfang actively prepared for the investigation. Later, the more detailed information was that Tang Jun was a cavalry force, about 22,000 cavalry was a huge battle force. Liang Jianfang listened with different hearts. Although Sui Jun also had fighters, there were more than 15,000 infantry, which meant that Sui Jun could not shake Tang Jun fighters head-on and needed ingenuity.
Xi Junmai and Liang Jianfang made a decision immediately after discussing it. When it was dark, they immediately arranged for the soldiers to rest and replenish their strength, waiting for the opportunity to give Tang Bing a fatal blow. It seems that it is a blessing that although there are patrol soldiers in Tang Jun, they seem to be lazy for a day. They seem to be very sleepy and many scouts are asleep.
Xi Junmai once again bit Liang Jianfang’s ear for a moment, and the two of them immediately followed the plan. Finally, the last Tang Bing seemed to be unable to bear the attack of sleepy people. Slowly, he lowered his head and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, he seemed to be caught on fire by Mars and suddenly jumped up. He felt a little danger, but looking around, except for the bonfire, his place was dark and invisible.
The soldier’s eyes widened to see the moonlight clearly, but it was in vain. At this moment, he felt that the ground began to shake, and he quickly responded. He fell to the ground and put his ear close to the ground, like thunder hooves breaking into his ears, so the soldier couldn’t help jumping up.
He was about to speak when a faint light flashed in a dark place in the distance, and then a vague shadow appeared in the moonlight. It should not be said that it was not a shadow, but a shadow. The soldier opened his eyes wide and was about to speak. The wind suddenly showed a bright color, and the soldier was short and reflexively. An arrow feather brushed past his ear and almost took away the whole ear.
"Enemy, enemy attack!" The soldier drank heavily and sounded very scared. Several sleeping Tang soldiers were awakened by his voice. They looked up in a hurry and didn’t mutter, "Why don’t you let people sleep blindly?"
As soon as a soldier’s voice fell, an arrow feather penetrated his throat. He covered his throat, his fingers were wet with warm blood, and his eyes were wide open. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t say it in the end, and finally he made a heavy noise.
As soon as this man died, others reacted. They quickly crossed the horse and handed out the news of the enemy’s attack in horror. The gong sounded in haste and had fallen asleep. Tang Bing woke up with a start. Many soldiers had not seen what had happened in vain. Sui Jun had already rushed to the periphery.
Liang Jianfang was holding a pike in his hand, and several Tang Jun died. Tang Bing’s screams immediately resounded through the unguarded Tang Jun station. Several officers ran out in succession, all of which were startled and discolored. No one could imagine where this group of cavalry came from.
But at this time, they don’t think much of the officers’ broken voices and struggling to shout that there is an enemy attacking the Tang Jun camp. Suddenly, the soldiers hurried to get dressed and look for horses. Suddenly, people were buzzing. The chaos in Tang Jun gave Liang Jianfang more opportunities. He took 500 cavalry to Tang Jun camp, and some people died.
A seemingly captain general in the Tang army saw that Liang Jianfang was unusually brave and flattery, but he tried to kill the morale of the Sui army, but Liang Jianfang shot off his horse. Several Tang soldiers gave a shout and fled after seeing that Liang Jianfang was so brave and did not change color.
The escape of several Tang soldiers caused the morale of the army to break up, and they were unprepared for the hasty root and rushed to the camp without any defense facilities. In this way, Sui Jun instantly defeated Tang Jun and fled one after another. Some soldiers fled without finding the horses, but they escaped. In two miles, the machine rang and the bolts were shot in rows. Immediately, the horses moaned and the countdown of ten people fell. Some Tang soldiers immediately reacted in a pool of blood. Sui Jun, this was an ambush.
Xi Junmai ambushed here with 5,000 soldiers. They held crossbows and fled. Tang Bing kept shooting, and soon Tang Bing’s casualties exceeded 300. This kind of casualties was huge, which made Tang Jun soldiers feel frightened and the horseshoe loomed ahead, making them white. There were Sui soldiers and fighters waiting for them. Even if they escaped from the Sui Jun crossbow array, I am afraid they could not escape from Sui Jun cavalry.
No one is afraid of death, especially when they look like they are sleeping soundly. When the soldiers of Tang Bing are suddenly attacked, they become the ghosts of Sui Saber. There is little hesitation. Tang Jun chose to surrender. They knelt down and even begged Xi Jun to buy acquiescence. Tang Jun surrendered because these Tang Bing are still needed for the next plan.
Five thousand soldiers tied Tang Bing up one by one until the dust settled and it was already bright. Liang Jianfang swept around with cavalry to catch the fish that escaped through the net. A preliminary count showed that Tang Bing died more than 500 people, and more than 700 Sui soldiers captured more than 1,200 people. I didn’t want to escape.
The soldiers were flying fast, and the two men immediately sent someone to pretend to be Tang Jun to find an excuse that most of the food and water bag losses encountered in the sandstorm on the way needed to go to town to supplement the Liangchuan county magistrate. No doubt, he just opened the city gate and Liang Jianfang grabbed Sui Jun and quickly occupied Liangchuan, completing the first step plan-156521.
Chapter 3 Nai Withdrawal
Tianshui City continued to attack and attack, and Tang Jun paid thousands of casualties. Tianshui City still stood firm. Sui Jun was tenacious, which was beyond Xue Wanjun’s expectation. He vaguely felt that maybe sending troops to the earthquake was the best choice, so that tens of thousands of military forces in Fufeng County could successfully enter Tianshui.
However, it has been several days since he captured Tianshui, and giving up at this time will obviously be criticized. It is also very inappropriate in front of Li Jiancheng. Although Tianshui is difficult to attack, Xue Wanjun has to bite his teeth and continue to attack, otherwise all previous achievements will be wasted. However, at this time, he did not know that the two thousand cavalry he sent to confuse Qu Tutong had been fatally hit.
After Xi Junmai and Liang Jianfang attacked Liangchuan, they left 500 soldiers to guard and sent people to inform Qu Tutong of the news. At the same time, Sui Jiang, who was stationed in Jincheng, also got the news and made arrangements. After Xi Junmai marched south with a thousand cavalry, Liang Jianfang marched.
All the way, Xi Jun bought 1,000 cavalry, worked hard day and night, and three war horses ran out for nearly 150 miles in one day. If it was not considered that soldiers might be able to bear it, he would continue to go south from Huining County. After passing through the short junction of Pingliang County and Longxi County, he entered Tianshui. Because the terrain near Longshan Mountain began to be complicated and changeable, Xi Jun bought it for three days before he arrived at Qingshui County.
Tang Jun was full of towers and scouts along the way, and some of them were shot and killed by Xi Jun. Although Tang Jun got the news that Sui Jun came to support him, Xi Jun bought the March quickly and was stationed in Qingshui County. Tang Bing just got the news that Xi Jun bought it and killed it in the city.
Lin Xingxian, who was stationed in Qingshui County when he saw that Sui soldiers were mostly cavalry, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the enemy was aggressive, most cavalry wanted to attack the city, but it was wishful thinking that everything would be easy to hold Qingshui County first. However, Lin Xingxian never thought that he had just sent someone out of the city to inform the besieged King Chu of Tianshui that Zhao Daoxing launched a rebellion and bought Xi Jun to welcome him into Qingshui City. Two thousand Tang Jun were caught off guard, but Sui Jun was ready to fight hard. Lin Xingxin was killed by an arrow and fell back to Qingshui County.
The news of Sui Jun’s sudden killing came to Li Zhiyun’s ears. He was very impatient and quickly summoned generals such as Xue Wanjun and Mu Luozhen.
Not only did Li Zhiyun look worried, but even Xue Wanjun’s face was very ugly. He was trying to seize Tianshui while the main force of Longxi Army was far away. However, in the past few days, he did not attack Tianshui City, but he paid thousands of casualties, which was worse than Xue Wanjun’s arrogance.
But now Sui Jun unexpectedly came to cut off Tang Jun’s return, which made Xue Wanjun extremely doubt whether there was something wrong with his strategy. Looking at Li Zhiyun a sullen fat face Xue Wanjun hitched a don’t know what to do.
Li Zhiyun was very unhappy in his heart. He told Xue Wanjun that he was good at strategy. There is nothing wrong with listening to him. But it has been ten days since he attacked Tianshui, but Tianshui City is still strong. It is disappointing that he did not attack Tianshui Li Zhiyun as devastating as it was said.
"General Xue, what is the plan today?" Li Zhiyun tried to control his tone, but he didn’t know that there was a slight tremor in his tone. Sui people were extremely hateful, and he was afraid that this time he would plant Sui people.
Xue Wanjun bowed his hand and answered, "There is a retreat in the temple today."
Now, the place where Tang Jun is located is extremely delicate. The robbery of Qingshui County means that the route for providing foodstuff has been cut off. Now, there is still food in the camp for nearly half a month. Only by retreating early can we avoid greater losses. At this time, Xue Wanjun vaguely thought that Qu Tutong was actually attacking Gu Zang, but he besieged the city and Dayuan. However, this is his guess and it is not completely clear how many people there are in Sui Jun. You must never stay here for a long time or you will be surrounded by Sui Jun.
It seems a little disdainful to have followed Li Shimin in the battle for Muro. He disdains his qualifications. He is not white. What is so heavy for such a newcomer? Moreover, he did not show good strategy in the Tianshui attack and attack war. He is much worse than the king of Qin. Now he hears Xue Wanjun say that he wants to retreat without sneering. "The king of Chu is humble and opposed to retreat."
Xue Wanjun glanced at Muruo and knew that he was an old minister of the DPRK and was about to speak. Li Zhiyun asked, "?"
"Now to aid SuiBing situation if not rashly retreat in the Sui Jun ambush? Moreover, Datang spent a few hay to attack Tianshui. Wouldn’t it be a joke if it failed? "Muro said."
"Yes, can you come back with your hand?"
"Yes, General Mu is reasonable!"
Several Tang generals in the big tent will quickly echo it. Obviously, they are very resistant to Xue Wanjun, a "foreign". Li Zhiyun has no experience in leading troops, so it is difficult for the public to suddenly know what to do, but he still remembers what his eldest brother told him before he entered the army, so he turned his eyes to Xue Wanjun and hoped that he could give an idea.
Xue Wanjun heard people talking loudly. He suddenly pulled out his horizontal knife with a vertical eyebrow. It was just a chop, which scared Zhi Li to shake and almost peed. He looked at Xue Wanjun in shock and wondered what he was going to do.
