Chapter 555: Trap
The Tang army was celebrating beside the Chaka Salt Lake, but in a small tribe in a small mountain col hundreds of miles away, nearly 10,000 remnants of the Tuguhun soldiers were depressed and demoralized.
The Tang army was in hot pursuit, and Fu Yun had already sensed the threat, so he took the lead in leading the elite cavalry of the royal tent to flee westward, handing over the most powerful Tianzhu tribe to him to command, waiting for the opportunity to run out of grain and grass, and giving the Tang army a fatal blow when it was the weakest.
However, who would have thought that Tang Jun would be like a divine help, and he would be able to accurately find the hidden tribe of Tuyuhun, which was like an internal response.
This time they escaped in a hurry, and all the baggage fell into the hands of the Tang army, and they didn't even bring out a piece of dried meat, if it weren't for the fact that there was a small tribe hiding here, I am afraid they would all be hungry.
King Tianzhu looked at the remnants of the soldiers with a gloomy face, this time he suffered heavy losses, not only the loss of soldiers, but even the three tribes of Tianzhu, the capital where he had settled, also fell into the hands of the Tang army, thinking of the countless cattle and sheep in his tribe, he couldn't help but drip blood in his heart, that was the wealth he had accumulated after a lifetime of struggle.
"There must be a traitor who betrayed us!" A burly warrior beside the Heavenly Pillar King roared angrily.
The Tianzhu King nodded with a gloomy face, he was only a little suspicious before, this time, the three tribes of the Tianzhu were attacked by the Tang Army again, and he really confirmed once again that someone must have betrayed them.
"Tuoba Chici!"
King Tianzhu didn't need to think about it, he couldn't help but think of a person in his head, the Tuyuhun tribe would naturally not betray Fuyun Khan, but the party tribe of Tuoba Chici was not necessarily.
Without thinking too much, the most likely person to betray Tuyuhun is probably Tuoba Chici, and these betrayals are not uncommon in the grassland.
"I said that how the Tang army could find us accurately many times, it must be Tuoba Chi's resignation, seeing that the Tang army was powerful, and took the opportunity to betray me Tuguhun to protect himself!" A famous king said hatefully. There is no doubt about it, if it were them, they would do the same.
If Tuoba Chi resigned here, he would definitely cry out loudly, and the previous three times were really not done by him.
"Pass the order, let the hidden tribes within a radius of five hundred miles, the old and weak, women and children move west first, and the elite of the headquarters will immediately go to Juruchuan to gather." The Heavenly Pillar King thought for a moment and said, "Remember, give the same order to Tuoba Chici, don't tell the truth, just let him bring his troops here." ”
This time, he not only wanted to find out the inner ghost of Tuoba Chici, but also planned to give the Tang army a ruthless blow and take the opportunity to recapture his tribe.
……………………
"Drive!"
Cheng Biting Jin quickly whipped his horse and led the cavalry of the left leading guard towards Juruchuan.
Li Jing got the message of Tuoba Chici, and did not have too many doubts, and immediately sent Cheng Biting Jin to pursue, after all, the information given by Tuoba Chici for the first time was very accurate, and the Tang army won a complete victory.
"General Qiyu, this is Juruchuan." Beside Cheng Yanjin, a pro-soldier pointed to the valley in front of him and said.
Cheng Yanjin looked at the semi-circular hill in front of him, and couldn't help but feel nervous, this is a good place to ambush! At the moment, the order was about to be given, but it was too late.
Suddenly, a rapid horn sounded, and a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry suddenly swept down from the back of the hill and rushed straight to the left leading guard.
"General! We're surrounded! The pro-soldier said urgently.
Cheng Biting King Kong wanted to retreat, but found that a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry surrounded him in the rear.
"Hit the mark!" Cheng Yanjin said hatefully.
"General, let's kill it!" The pro-soldier said anxiously. This time, Cheng Yanjin, as the forward, did not lead many cavalry, and he couldn't fight against so many pro-soldiers at all.
Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said: "Tuyuhun's horse is faster than ours, even if it stands out, it can't run, it's better to fight on the spot, maybe it can last until the arrival of the army." ”
"Kill!" Cheng Yanjin didn't have time to think too much, so he made a quick decision and suddenly urged the horse and the Tuyuhun cavalry to collide together.
The Heavenly Pillar King came prepared, and there were many of them, although the Tang army had the advantage of armor, it still immediately fell into disadvantage, and the two armies kept fighting in this narrow space.
"Tuoba Chici is indeed a traitor!" The King of Heavenly Pillar said with a cold face, this time Tuoba Chici did not come to converge, but Tang Jun accurately found him, who is it?
"Tuoba Chiqi, this villain, don't let me wait for the opportunity, I will definitely let the Tuoba tribe be wiped out, and no one will be left." Heru said coldly.
The Heavenly Pillar King nodded hatefully and said coldly: "These Tang troops are just a little interest collected first. ”
However, he didn't know that not far from the battle between the two armies, Merton led thirty firearms guards and looked at the battlefield in front of him with a nervous expression.
"Lord Sacrificial Wine, General Cheng is in ambush." Xue Rengui looked at the battlefield in the distance with a sound of fighting, just because Merton's riding skills were too poor, and Cheng Biting Jin was eager to catch up, so that the firearms supervisor led by Merton was slightly behind the leading guards of the left, but he didn't expect that it was this slowness that allowed the firearms supervisor to escape.
"When will the army arrive?" Merton's nervous palms sweated.
"The cavalry who went back to deliver the message has already set out, but the army is still in the rear, and it will take an hour to arrive at the earliest." Xue Rengui said helplessly. Cheng Biting Jin's march was too anxious, and even the big victories made Cheng Biting Jin take this rout lightly, so he fell into the trap of the Tianzhu King.
"Lord Sake, what are we going to do?" Xue Rengui asked.
It stands to reason that there are only thirty of them at the moment, and even if they retreat, no one will blame them, but everyone knows that it is the father of Merton's best friend Cheng Chumo who is under siege.
If they are indifferent and watch Cheng Yanjin besieged and killed, not to mention that they can't say anything to Cheng Chumo, they can't say anything in the army, and at any time, it is taboo not to save him.
Merton gritted his teeth and said, "How many grenades did we carry this time. ”
Xue Rengui said without thinking: "Each soldier carries ten with him, and ten are tied on each side of the horse's back,"
Each of them carried thirty guns, and the firearms superintendent had a total of thirty people, a total of nine hundred grenades, plus the weapons that he carried with him, this was the entire force of the firearms superintendent.
Nine hundred grenades! Merton's heart was a little calmer, and he turned his head to look at the group of firearms supervisors, and his voice trembled: "This sacrificial wine once said that our firearms supervisors are the most valuable military branches, as long as it is not at the moment of life, we do not need to go into battle to fight, and now although our lives are not at stake, our comrades-in-arms are under siege, in the past, they were all for us, to protect our safety, and now it is time for us to return." ”
The thirty firearms supervisors nodded silently, and couldn't help but think of the decisive battle, when the firearms supervisor was attacked by the Tuyuhun cavalry several times, it was the desperate escort of the left leading guard, but the entire firearms supervisor was unscathed, and this robe could not be repaid in any way.
"Give the order to go down, Marcel, the man is in armor, ready to attack." Merton's voice trembled, but his tone was firm.
Immediately, the entire firearms supervisor immediately plugged the horse's ears, fastened his armor, checked his weapons, and after everything was ready, all the firearms supervisors couldn't help but look resolute and waited for the order.
Merton waved his big hand, and suddenly was about to give an order, but suddenly Xue Rengui dodged and stopped Merton.
"Lord Sacrificial Wine, if I wait for this time to attack, I'm afraid that I will be lucky to rescue the left leading guard, and these Tuyuhun cavalry will probably escape without a trace, so it is better to wait for the right time to attack again." Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.
"But if you breathe late, the left leader and guard will be in danger." Merton said anxiously, although he understood this truth, but a quarter of an hour later, there would definitely be many Tang soldiers who died on the battlefield.
"Lord Sacrificial Wine, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" Xue Rengui said solemnly, at this moment, there was a vague prototype of a generation of famous generals in later generations.
Merton was silent for a moment, at this moment, the left leading army guard is in full physical strength, if the firearms supervisor opens the way for it, the possibility of breaking through must be very great, although there are fewer sacrifices at this moment, but if these Tuyuhun cavalry are allowed to escape, I am afraid that the harm will be greater. This battle is the Tianzhu King besieged the left leading guard, although the left leading guard is in danger, but it is not not a drag on the Tu army, if it is dragged to the approach of the army, and then rescue, this group of Tu army, will definitely be unable to escape.
"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" For the first time, Merton understood the heaviness of the word, and now he no longer insisted, silently calculating the time of the subsequent march of the army.
