Chapter 741: Cai Cong's inner madness
In June of the second year of Renyou, a war without warning started in the Green Mountains, in the territory of the Turks, the vanguard army of the Great Food Country encountered an ambush by the Tang army, the lake in the mountains was dug by the Tang army, and the power of the flash flood washed the 30,000 vanguard army of the Great Food to death, and the rest was easily harvested by the Tang army.
After such an absurd thing happened, although these two countries did not pull the battle line to their own land, in this era, it is already a world war.
The Turks wrote a letter to inform the whole world of the despicable behavior of the Tang Dynasty to fight without telling the truth, but they didn't want to think about what the vanguard army of the Great Food Country wanted to do.
Cai Cong's ambush battle was transmitted back to Chang'an, which made the court applaud, and at the same time, the officials also secretly admired Cai Cong's foresight, if it wasn't for Cai Cong to strike first, I was afraid that Datang would suffer a big loss.
When the people cheered for the victorious general of the Tang Dynasty, Cai Cong had a very difficult time. This turtle is also called Anxi Duhufu, the city is so big, but the border line to be guarded is extremely long.
This makes Cai Cong really embarrassed, and he can't fly, in this thousand-mile desert, Da Shi can break through the defense line from any place, and even divide his troops to break through in many places, and his troops are too small.
"The gold juice is boiling at a faster speed, these damn black monkeys really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they dare to come to me for trouble with Datang."
In a peculiar clearing, a soldier dressed as a lieutenant, wearing a mask, shouted loudly, and many people in the open space were boiling gold juice in large urns, and this gold juice was dung.
"You rabbit cubs should also move quickly, pay attention to it, if you cut yourself, immediately rip off the flesh of that place, otherwise you don't know how to die."
The lieutenant teased a group of soldiers who were smearing their feathers with gold juice and weapons. It can't be said to be a joke, in this era, in this dry and hot summer, I was cut by a weapon smeared with gold juice, and if it was not treated in time, even a small wound could kill someone.
"Our department has come to receive 3,000 arrow feathers, this is an order, please proofread."
At this time, a stout soldier with a scar on his face came over and said loudly, and handed the order in his hand to the captain, with indescribable pride on his face.
The lieutenant glanced at him enviously, and after carefully checking the order, he immediately arranged for someone to go to the treasury to carry arrows.
He himself leaned over with a flattering smile and asked, "This big brother is from that part, and the scouts who can receive three thousand arrow feathers at a time are all well-known figures!" ”
"Brothers, a team of scout battalions under the command of General Chu Yunzheng..."
"But that team that encountered 300 horsemen, but 50 horsemen killed 70 enemies, and retreated with the whole body, known as cunning foxes?"
The captain shouted feverishly, don't look at him as a captain, and the other party is just a team. He, a school captain, deals with dung and water every day, how can he compare to the heroes who fight in blood?
"False name, it's just a false name, as long as you can be loyal to the country, why be afraid of death?"
The team is waving their hands and saying modestly, but the eyes are about to overflow with a smile, and the beard on that face keeps shaking, they became famous in a fight, and even the generalissimo praised them for their courage and resourcefulness after hearing about it, how can he not be excited?
"Brother, brother, I can't go away if I want to, if you can catch a black monkey arc knife this time, can you give me a hand? lest I go back empty-handed and be laughed at. ”
The captain said flatteringly, the team is a little embarrassed, this time he slaughtered seventy people and didn't get anything, and it was too difficult to pick up some loot, he didn't dare to make a promise easily.
"If you embarrass your brother, then if your brother hasn't said it, look at my mouth, an arc knife is a military feat, and I can't talk a lot."
The captain said embarrassedly, and the team couldn't help but say, "It's not a big deal, if a brother is captured by the enemy, and when he reports his military merits, a certain family will ask for it and send it to my brother." ”
This man's direct friendship is so easy to form, in just a few words, two people who haven't even passed the name will call each other brothers.
They don't plan to exchange names either, and there will be a lot of people in this precarious place who flash like shooting stars, and often it won't be long before that name disappears into their minds.
The team counted 3,000 arrows, the number was correct, the two sides signed and drew a pledge, hugged their fists and left.
The lieutenant looked enviously at the team that went away, he used to be so beautiful, it was still a matter of Zhenguan, and then he broke a hand, lame his left leg, he should have been discharged from the army and was left by Shangfeng to do some heavy work, at that time Shangfeng took pity on him, afraid that his disabled body would not be treated well.
But now that he can finally exert a little residual heat, even if he is a captain in charge of Jin Juice, he will contribute to this war.
Thinking of him, he couldn't help but yell, "Don't look as ugly as eating, they fought to kill the enemy, and that is also due to us, I can't say how many enemy soldiers were injured a little bit, and they died of poison when they returned." ”
Everyone gave him a blank look, if you don't go to the peak, I will press you in this big urn now. What's the difference between this pervasive smell and falling into a dung pit, you're still talking about eating, eating that, aren't you disgusting yourself?
And Cai Cong also felt extremely disgusted at the moment, the scout had just come to report, and the big food soldiers were divided into three ways, marching together, one way towards Qiuzi, and the other two roads, marching in the vast desert.
And the route of travel was actually avoided, the three towns of Khotan, Yanqi, and Shule, which made Cai Cong have to suspect that Dashi had found a local aboriginal as a guide, and there were other hidden and feasible routes to Datang.
"Marshal, what shall we do now? If you divide the troops, it is tantamount to asking for your own death, but if you do not divide the troops and let them go like this, I am afraid that there will be a big mess. ”
A general said with a sad face, the opposing army is divided into three routes, each with more than 100,000 troops, and their troops are divided into three routes, each with only tens of thousands of troops, fighting in the open area, which is waiting to be made dumplings.
"This soldier is not divided, but the last general is worried that the enemy is attacking the east and west, if our army divides the troops to block, in case one of them turns around and besieges the city all the way, it will be more than 200,000 troops to block the gate of other soldiers to return to the city.
And our soldiers outside will definitely rush back to help, and when the time comes, they will be pursued by the enemy and will suffer heavy casualties. ”
Another general also said solemnly, it is too difficult for 150,000 troops to stop the 400,000 troops on this long border.
All the generals looked at Cai Cong, waiting for him to give a military order, who would have thought that they would encounter such a problem at the beginning.
"Shule, Khotan, and Yanqi all have 15,000 troops in the three towns, but they are not afraid that Qiuci will be breached, and no one can resist the enemy. Where else is the enemy closer to us, except for the large army coming towards us? ”
Cai Cong said solemnly, in the final analysis, these four towns are the line of defense, he doesn't care if Qiuzi will be breached, to the point that he will never allow anyone to fight where the people of the Tang Dynasty live.
"The enemy's left flank is relatively close to us, but it is also a hundred miles away, if we catch up and block it, I am afraid that the people are sleepy and the horses are not people's opponents at all."
Da Niu said calmly, what is this called! To fight a blocking war, you need to travel hundreds of miles and send it back to China, but I am afraid that the people will listen to it as a joke.
"Can you find out which team the opposing coach is on?"
Cai Cong's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, and Da Niu hurriedly said, "This is strange, the scout actually found through the telescope that the generalissimo of the enemy army and Qinling were talking and laughing on horseback, and they were in this army on the left, but their handsome banner was in the middle of the road, this is in the old cloth maze!" ”
"Left side? Mid lane? According to Marshal Ben's military order, 40,000 troops were left in the city to defend the city, and the rest of the people followed Marshal Ben to attack the right flank of the enemy's army. Remember! If, after our army has set out, the enemy pursues them in the middle, you will rush out to stop them in the middle.
If they attack the city unhurriedly, then this turtle will be abandoned, and you will pursue the army on the left with all your might, and even if the whole army is destroyed, the enemy army will be slaughtered by this marshal. ”
Cai Cong suddenly said with an angry face, he has not had this kind of gambling mentality for many years, this time he has to gamble with his own life and 150,000 soldiers to see if it is big or small.
