8. Node Mubo Fort

Finally, Ye Liqi, Shu Hurong and other party chiefs began to wake up, and Gao Yue, who slaughtered the pheasant clan in the past, still did not change, but now he raised the butcher knife to all the Dongshan party leaders.

What kind of robbery, what punishment of sinners, that is all superficial, what Gao Yue has to do is to eradicate them.

Daechangwon, south of Gyeongju City, led 3,000 soldiers to pay homage to Gao Yue in the tabernacle.

The other four armies in the so-called five armies of the imperial camp have never received the emperor's will at all, so there is no one else in charge of the entire northern battlefield, that is, Shi Gaoyue, the military envoy of the right battalion and the commander of the capital.

"On the Envoy." Gao Yue received this very warmly, but there was no greeting or delay, he directly pointed to the sand table of the copper map, and asked about the fact that the terrain of Gyeongju was marked on it, so that Jun's insight would be what should he do if he wanted to pursue the party items that fled north, such as Ah Bury, Wei Xi, Guwei, Qu Xibao, and Pa Zhen?

Thinking about it, this Gao Yue has slaughtered all the three tribes of Qiaoshan since the first battle of Suwon, and the more than 10,000 party men and women who were arrested were all submerged in the military government, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, which shows that this person's policy is to "annihilate the party" as the core, so he can only cater to this: "The west side of Gyeongju is separated by the Meridian Ridge, the east side is connected along the Baekma River and the Baiyu Mountain Carriage Gorge and the Weibei Prefectures, and the north is after the Qinggang Ridge, and the Ling and Yanhan Seas are adjacent, and the mountains on the south side are linked to Yimaguan, Maling River and Jing and Ningzhou, The whole landform is mountainous and dangerous in the south, and the north is more spreading, and the city of Gyeongju is located between the north and the south, and the boundary between the Chomaling River and the Baekma River is one west and one east and two rivers. The Abury and other tribes now have no horses, take the old and help the young, and travel only twenty miles a day, and those who intend to do so foolishly think that it is Maling. ”

Gao Yue nodded, expressing his agreement with Lun Weiming's analysis, worthy of being a descendant of Lun Qinling.

The eyes of the other generals were focused on Malyeong, northwest of Gyeongju.

"More than ten tribes are buried, but they just want to resist my Tang Tianjun in the danger of relying on the danger of Ma Ling. And at the square canal, there are sinners Ye Liqi, Shu Hu Rong Tong Ye Li, and the big insect two clans responding, which can really be described as unrepentant. Gao Yue then pointed his slender finger at the node of the post road from Gyeongju Castle and Malyeong to Qinggangling, that is, where Mubo Fort is located, "On the envoy, now Mubo Fort is a critical place in the entire Qing War, how many soldiers does the fort have?" ”

Lu Weiming hurriedly replied that there were five hundred soldiers, and there was a warehouse city with a reserve of grain of 100,000 stones.

Gao Yue laughed, and said that if the Yeli and Da Worm clans want to rush to Maling, they can't ignore Mubo Fort, as long as Mubo Fort is in my hands, our Tang army is in the north and south, and it can be connected by post roads unimpeded (the north is Gao Chongwen's Shence Decisive Army), even if they reach the convergence of Maling and Abury and other clans, they are just trapped in the dead place, so the current strategy is:

First, the cavalry pursued day and night, slaughtering all the northern escapees such as Azui, Wei Xi, Guwei, and Qu Xibao, and did not let them go to Maling;

At the same time, a light army was dispatched to the west bank of the Baima River to aid Mubo Fort, to stop the possible attempts of the Yeli and Da Worm tribes to seize the fort, and to ensure the communication line between here and Yanzhou;

This army made peace with the envoy Jun and your soldiers and horses to merge and seize Maling one step earlier, and then we went north, General Gao Chongwen went south, ploughed the court and swept the caves, and cleared out the Dongsan Dangqiang in Gyeongju;

In addition, now send envoys to Huai'an (north of Gyeongju, that is, where the Fangchi Governor's Mansion is located, during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, the Tang government had a large 'including fugitive households', and the fugitive households were concentrated here, so it was named Huai'an, and in the Northern Song Dynasty due to pronunciation errors, that is, Huai'an), Huachi and other places, asking the two clans of Niu Killing and White Horse who were close to our Tang Dynasty also formed a "Qiang Cavalry Yicong" to assist the heavenly officers and soldiers to eliminate the rebellion.

In the end, the "light army" dispatched by Gao Yue to be responsible for emergency reinforcement of Mubo Fort was 3,400 infantry soldiers under Fuyu Huai, the second general of the Yining Army's infantry army, and strengthened the 400 'artillerymen' below Supu with the soldiers and horses of the fifth battalion of the Feishan Army of the Dingwu Army, and let Du Yu wait for Guo Zaizhen to unify the inspectors.

Is the number of reinforcements sufficient? Do you want to strengthen the cavalry of Fan Xichao with the servants and the soldiers and horses of the Fan Xi Dynasty?

"No, as for the cavalry of General Jun and Fan, all of them will be incorporated into the cavalry formation and go to pursue the Abu and other clans."

The cavalry array that Gao Yue said was the five times he organized a total of 10,000 cavalry, and now with the addition of the 2,000 cavalry of Tan Weiming, there are as many as 12,000, and it has become three times, each time 4,000 cavalry, and the tactics implemented are still "shallow attacks", but Gao Yue also proposed: change the original attack on the three clans of Qiaoshan to the current change of pursuit, the purpose is to annihilate all of them before more than ten party items such as A Bury arrive at Maling.

At this moment, in the gathering place of the Fangqu Yeli and the Big Worm clans, nearly 10,000 sturdy party men were recruited, and these two clans were the big clans in the entire Dongshan Party Clan, boasting of their strong force.

However, Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong are actually desperate, they know that according to the intelligence of all parties, the four ways out of the Gyeongju area have been blocked by the Tang army, and now the only way out is to meet with the more than ten surnames who fled from the south of Gyeongju as soon as possible, to see if they can occupy the danger of Maling, hold on under the siege of the Tang army, and then contact the party items in Pingxia and Liufu, "Everyone abandons their prejudices, we have all fallen into the Tang family's strategy before, and used an empty Tianzhu army to make the party that instigated the entire Shuofang fall into cannibalism, Now it is the best policy for brothers to join forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty. ”

In addition, when Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong really began to mobilize, they found that Gao Yue's ruthlessness was that they had fallen into two major battles, and there were less than 800 war horses of all kinds left!

The war horses that were originally raised all over the mountains were sold to Gao Yue before!

On the wilderness of Fangqu, the strong men of the two clans who were full of martial virtue were still shouting, pulling the bowstrings in their hands one after another, and shooting the arrows made of bone clusters like heavy rain, in order to practice their courage before the battle.

Soon Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong agreed: the former led the whole clan to be strong and went to Maling to meet the same kind; The latter also led the whole clan to attack and capture Mubo Fort.

Because Mubo Fort was the important place for the Tang army to store grain in the entire Gyeongju area, as long as it could capture and burn its Cangcheng, it would be able to turn the disadvantage into an advantage, so that the Tang army would not be able to retreat from supply, and then Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong would directly sacrifice the square canal and lead Xifan to attack.

At the same time, the two clans also sent envoys to Huai'an, Fangchi, and Huachi to contact other Dongshan party Xiang Fanluo, and fought together against the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the drums under the city of Gyeongju were noisy, and at the Gaofu place of Dachangwon, Gao Yue and his generals and wingmen were wearing court clothes and armor to watch the formation, and the other two eight thousand cavalry were arranged according to the formation of the team, all spread on the hillside, and on the post road sandwiched below, the first four thousand cavalry were raising a column of banners, under the leadership of Fan Xichao, like a long snake, and were chasing along the Maling River to the various parties and clans that fled to the north!
