Chapter 159: Night Attack Logistics
Chapter 159 Night Attack Logistics
In less than five days, tens of thousands of troops are rapidly gathering in the temporary garrison of the Allied Army! At this time, there were a total of 30,000 troops in the garrison, in addition to the 20,000 allied troops, there were also 7,000 Ma Yi troops, and the 3,000 Lou annoying troops who arrived overnight last night!
The Yin World Division was very efficient, and after Su Shang and the others left yesterday, they prepared all the war horses and soldiers in less than two hours, and transferred them to the Allied Army garrison overnight, and also provided them with five days of food, grass and water.
To Su Shang's surprise, the general who led the 3,000-floor annoying army turned out to be Yin Hongzhi, the son of Yin Shishi. Su Shang knew that this Yin Hongzhi was the youngest son of Yin Shishi, who was smart and studious since he was a child, both civil and military, very talented, and very famous in Daxing City.
Su Shang somewhat understood, and the Yin Shishi was also very optimistic about his attack, so he sent his most talented youngest son out, wanting to take the opportunity to let Yin Hongzhi make a big contribution and pave the way for Yin Hongzhi's future career!
At the fourth watch, the army got up to have breakfast and prepare. In addition to the 1,000 soldiers of the Angel Ambulance Battalion and the 2,000 Ma Yi Army infantry who protected Princess Yunyang, Su Shang was ready to lead a total of 27,000 people to set off in this operation!
As the vanguard generals, the two lieutenants Chi Gong and Xie Yingdeng had already led 3,000 men and horses to set off first, and he and Wang Rengong led the rest of the army to take a step back!
"General, Li Gongzi is here!"
Su Shang turned around, only to see Li Shimin wearing silver armor and walking briskly, followed by the eldest grandson Wuji, at this time the eldest grandson Wuji was also wearing a bright light armor, looking even more powerful than when he saw it yesterday!
Li Shimin stepped forward and bowed, "Let the general wait for a long time!" ”
Su Shang nodded, "We're ready to leave now, I wonder if Childe is ready?" ”
"We're ready!"
Su Shang turned over and got on his horse and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
……
The logistics of the Turkic army was located in Yunnei County, Mayi County, but not in Yunnei City, but in a steppe dozens of miles away from Yunnei City, which is close to the Sanggan River, with a wide area and lush pastures, which can accommodate millions of cattle and sheep.
The strategic location here is extremely important, it has always been a strategic place for the steppe nomads to invade the Central Plains in the south, from here to the south, you can go through the Mayi Road to enter the state, you can also go east along the Sanggan River, the army can go straight to Youzhou, ride the table tennis and even take the flying fox road, directly into Hebei!
The logistics of the Turkic army is a sheep and horse city, which is several miles in radius, consisting of thousands of big tents and more than a dozen sheep and horse pens covering an area of hundreds of acres, and there are also 20,000 elite cavalry stationed here, who are responsible for protecting the safety of the sheep and horse city!
For this southern invasion of the Great Sui, the Turkic army brought a total of millions of cattle and sheep as military rations, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were driven to Yanmen City every day to ensure the food security of more than 400,000 Turkic troops in Yanmen City.
And this sheep and horse city is also the storage place of the spoils of the Turkic army, this time the Turkic army invaded the south of the Great Sui and looted countless people and materials, all of which were temporarily stored here, and when they retreated, they would bring all these materials back to the grassland, including thousands of young women!
As the sun sets in the west, the sun shines brightly, and tens of thousands of young women squat on the banks of the sparkling Sanggan River, washing their clothes, and behind them hundreds of fierce Turkic soldiers, armed with whips and swords, supervise the women's work.
These women are all young women who were captured by the Turkic army in the south of the Great Sui, they have already endured a family ruin, they bear the heaviest labor during the day, and they are tragically abused by the Turkic soldiers at night, many women can not bear this pain, and they committed suicide shortly after being taken captive!
As night fell, bonfires burned in the steppe, and Turkic soldiers came out of their tents to enjoy the barbecue of mutton. This is their very ordinary day, after the Great Sui Emperor was trapped in Yanmen City, the Turkic army had the advantage, and Yangma City was located in the rear every day, and gradually became a little lax!
In a forest ten miles south of Yangma City, Su Shang and the others who came from afar were leading a large army to be stationed there, waiting for the best time for the army to attack!
A tent has been set up in the woods, and there are more than a dozen people standing in the tent, and Su Shang and they are discussing the details of this operation!
Su Shang pointed to the topographic map of Sheep and Horse City, and said with a little frown: "The surrounding area of Sheep and Horse City is open, it is difficult for us to sneak close, and according to the latest information, there are a total of 20,000 Turkic cavalry in Sheep and Horse City, these cavalry are the most elite cavalry in the Turkic army, if we attack at this time, it is estimated that there will be great casualties!"
Li Shimin next to him nodded in agreement, "General, if we attack with fire, we will first send a scout team to burn their logistics tent and create chaos!" ”
"No way!"
Wei Chigong refuted loudly, "There are still more than 10,000 poor women who have been taken captive in Yangma City, if they attack with fire, they will be the biggest victims, I don't approve of this!" ”
Su Shang was not surprised by Wei Chigong's reaction, Wei Chigong is from Mayi County, and these young women are all taken captive from various counties of Mayi County and Yanmen County, among these people may be his friends, wives and daughters, and Su Shang does not approve of fire attacks, these women have suffered enough, and he can't bear to cut another knife on their wounds!
At this time, Xie Yingdeng suggested: "Marshal, the Turkic soldiers rely on war horses to exert their combat strength, we can sneak attack in the middle of the night, as long as we can capture the stables as soon as possible, so that the Turkic soldiers have no horses to ride, then this sneak attack is a victory!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, Su Shang slowly glanced at everyone, and no one made any more suggestions, so he decided to say: "The time is set for the fifth watch,......
……
The night in the steppe was quiet, and at the fifth watch, most of the Turkic soldiers slept soundly.
At this moment, Su Shang led a cavalry team of more than 20,000 people to appear near Yangma City, and soon a Turkic patrol found them, and the patrol guards were shocked, turned around and shouted and ran towards Yangma City!
Su Shang held the black overlord halberd, looked coldly at the Turkic tent that stretched for several miles in front of him, and resolutely gave an order: "General Xie led five thousand men and horses to capture the stable, and the rest of the soldiers entered the camp!"
The overwhelming cavalry soldiers roared and rushed to the Turkic camp, like a mudslide in the mountains, swept towards the Turkic camp, the soldiers rode war horses on their hips, brandished the big swords and spears in their hands, and their eyes were full of excitement for meritorious service!
Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
