Chapter 172: The Problem (Asking for Collection Recommendation)
It was too easy to conquer the servant bones, and Yang Tong's ambition grew, so he first escorted the booty to the south bank of the Krulun River, and after handing it over to the militia soldiers who received it, he couldn't help but kill the Tongluo tribe again.
The opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come again. If you don't kill now, when will you wait?
The battle went so smoothly that a servant drew some of the brave men of his tribe. Another point is that they have no sense of precaution: they did not expect that the army would launch a fierce attack on them in the ice and snow, so that they were killed without knowing who did it, and there was no way to resist at all.
After tonight, the matter will inevitably be exposed, Tong Luo and Xue Yantuo are not stupid, once they know that the Sui army has attacked, they will naturally not be as lax as today, and it will not be so easy to get lucky in the future.
But before the news spread, the Sui army still had the advantage of surprise soldiers. There were two days and two nights of attacking the two tribes, but Tongluo was not as easy to capture as the servant bones.
Of course, the Tongluo tribe was also loyal to Jieli Khan, but when they went south to Shibi Khan, even the chieftain was killed by Shibi Khan, and their hatred for the Turks was far greater than that of other Tiele tribes, so the rest of the people were mainly to develop the tribe, but symbolically sent 5,000 soldiers to Yudujin Mountain to shout and cheer, and there were still 80,000 elite guards left.
What's even more speechless is that Tongluo is stationed in the Kent Valley surrounded by mountains on three sides of Kent Mountain to avoid the wind and snow, this Kent Valley mouth faces east, there is a slope more than 500 meters long from the ground, if a large army is blocked at the mouth of the valley, and then arrange two teams of archers to drop arrows down on the left and right cliffs, there will be no solution, no matter how the elite division of the Great Sui is successful, it is difficult to break this dilemma.
If the Sui army is attacked, the condescending Tongluo soldiers will definitely inflict heavy losses on the Sui army, even if Qin Qiong's East Route Army is gathered, it is estimated that after taking the Kent Valley, there will be little left of more than 40,000 Sui troops, this kind of disastrous victory with 1,000 enemy wounds and 800 self-losses is definitely not the victory that Yang Tong wants.
After thinking for a long time, Yang Tong found that he had nothing to do in the face of such terrain.
So he asked, "I have an army of 80,000, and I have more than 300,000 people behind me, and plenty of food." If I arrange for 20,000 troops to guard the mouth of the valley, and the other 20,000 archers are divided around the cliff, and rotate every two hours, how should you break through this valley without siege equipment? ”
Hearing Yang Tong's question, Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong, Shui Tianji, and Li Xiuning changed color one after another, and each thought about it.
After a long time, Wei Chigong shook his head and said, "Except for a strong attack, the last general can't think of any way." ”
Li Xiuning said with a serious face: "Husband, if you don't look for a small way, don't fight this Tongluo if you can't find a small way." This place is too steep, there is a husband when the key is not open, a strong attack is the next strategy, we come from afar lightly, it is really not advisable to attack such an important place. Moreover, our purpose is to shake the rule and prestige of Jieli, and weaken the war potential of Tiele and the Turks. ”
Shui Tianji also said: "More importantly, the servant bones and Bayegu have already been broken by us, and the two defeated tribes will run here sooner or later to seek refuge, and we don't have much time to spend here." ”
Hearing that everyone had no good way, Yang Tong thought about it, immediately retreated twenty miles, stationed at the southeast foot of Kent Mountain to rest, and ordered Luo Shixin to send scouts to cruise around forty miles nearby, annihilate the defeated army, and let another 500 people search and explore the terrain.
If you want to defeat the strong with the weak and win more with less, you must know the layout of the opponent's camp and the reality in order to grasp the opponent's weakness and hit it immediately.
Yang Tong was not an idle person, and he personally climbed the mountain to survey accompanied by more than a dozen soldiers.
An hour later, I came to the outside of the Kent Valley, and saw that the enemy camp in the distance was dense, and I did not dare to continue to go deeper, but I climbed the mountain wall in a roundabout way, and came to a supreme point with a wide perspective. Below, a huge valley sunken into the mountains, where dozens of miles of camp tents were placed. The whole valley is shaped like a huge funnel, and the only exit is the mouth of the narrow funnel.
Although the layout of the tent is neat, there is nothing surprising about it. Yang Tong took a turn on the mountain and found that the other party was very comfortable, except for some children playing in the snow, it was rare to see adults haunting, even if there were, it was a visit or something, the whole tribe was very leisurely, without the slightest vigilance of the enemy, and as for the patrolmen, there was no such thing.
After observing repeatedly for a long time, his eyes aimed at the rear of the camp, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he was afraid of his thighs, and shouted: "Why do you need tens of thousands of troops, as long as a thousand people can break this Tongluo Division." ”
He thought of a clever plan to break the enemy, and he didn't waste any more time, ran back to the camp happily, and recalled the soldiers who stepped on the point, and then gathered with Shui Tianji, Li Xiuning, Luo Shixin, and Wei Chigong.
"Husband, is there a way to break the enemy?" Shui Tianji looked excited when she saw Yang Tong, and asked happily.
"There is indeed a way to break the enemy!" Yang Tong drew a simple sketch on the snow and said eloquently: "Kent Valley is like a huge funnel, the deeper you go inside, the more open the terrain becomes, Kent Valley is indeed very large, but it is a bit crowded to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and millions of livestock. From the fact that they were very leisurely, apparently unaware of our arrival. So, the defeat is tonight. ”
Luo Shixin asked, "This can continue to carry out the night raid war." ”
"Surprise and attack can indeed achieve unexpected results. But...... There's no need to be so troublesome. Yang Tong said with a smile: "Cattle, sheep and horses are the lifeblood of the grassland people, and heavy guards will be arranged when marching, even in normal times, they are hidden in the safest place." ”
Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said excitedly: "I understand what my husband means, the Tongluo people have arranged all the livestock in the deepest part of the valley, as long as we go down from the top of the mountain at night, we can use the power of livestock to rush into battle." Livestock are naturally afraid of fire, as long as the fire is together, the livestock without a way out will only rush to the open area, and here, is the camp of the Tongluo people. ”
Yang Tong nodded, and said to Yu Chigong: "Yu Chi, you will take the tsunami and flying feather bows to chop wood and collect mountain rocks now, and you must seal the valley mouth for me tonight." I want Tiele to change the nine surnames to eight from now on. ”
"The last general commands! If one escapes in this way, the last general will come to see him. Wei Chi smiled respectfully, his eyes flashing with an extremely cold chill.
As a person from a border county that has suffered a lot of disasters, there is not a single one who does not hate the Turkic people who are like wild beasts, and there is no one who does not hate the Turkic lackeys Tiele people.
