Chapter 909: Miscalculation
"This ······" Tuga was stunned, came back to his senses and asked, "Why did the national teacher suggest this?" ”
Tan Wuye said: "Doesn't the Khan think that this seems to be a trick of the Qianguo people? The poor monk thought about the battles that had happened on the road and the route he had taken, and he always felt that the cadres were deliberately forcing us into the mountains, so we had been led by their noses! If the poor monk guesses correctly, if we continue to walk along this road, I am afraid that we will never be able to get out of this mountain range, and this will be our eternal ambush place! ”
Cold sweat broke out on Tuga Zhen's forehead, "Is the national teacher saying that there are countless dangers waiting for us along the way?" ”
"Absolutely!"
Tan Wuye paused and continued: "Khan, think about it, since the Qianjun can set up an ambush in Fangcai's place, why can't they set up an ambush elsewhere? We must seize the initiative and not follow the marching route designed for us by the Qianguo people, otherwise we will all die! ”
The pressure on Toga Zhen is increasing, he is only a young man after all, and it is really difficult to bear such a major setback when he first became Khan.
At this time, he could only choose to believe Tan Wuye, "Order, the army stops advancing and returns the way it came!" ”
Everyone will not understand why Tuga Zhen gave such an order, you must know that the Qianjun is still attacking the entrance of the valley behind them, blocking the mouth of the valley, even if they return along the same way, can they still kill it?
This time Toga really made up his mind, and the army marched overnight, after all, it had already been walked through, and although the light was not very good at night, there was still some sense of direction in the original way.
This time, Togama sent several teams of detective scouts to explore the way in front, on the one hand, to prevent getting lost, and on the other hand, to be ambushed again.
After a whole night's march, the Rouran people finally returned to the entrance of the valley again, and the general who was guarding here, Hulu, led people to meet them.
"Khan, why did you turn back again? Are you lost in the mountains? ”
Tuga really didn't have the face to say this, after all, he was the one who wanted to enter the mountain against the public opinion, and now in addition to the problem, he is very embarrassed.
Tan Wuye, who was next to him, relieved the siege and said: "The Qianguo people have set up ambushes everywhere, and we can only get rid of the Qianguo people's encirclement and interception by returning along the same road!" General Kuru, how many enemy troops are there outside the valley mouth? ”
"I don't know how many there are, but they've been stuck in the valley and haven't moved!"
Tan Wuye frowned: "There are still five thousand people? Did they attack yesterday? ”
"There were two attacks yesterday morning, not in the afternoon, and the night was calm!"
Tan Wuye looked at the camp of the cadres outside the valley mouth, and there were several groups of cadre army guard cavalry patrolling back and forth not far from the valley mouth, observing the movements here at all times.
Tan Wuye asked, "General Hulu, how far is this from the camp of the Thousand Army?" ”
"It's about three miles and five miles!"
"If we send 3,000 men and horses to rush over, will we be able to rush into their camp before the cadres are assembled?"
Hu Lu shook his head and said, "Didn't the national teacher see the roadblocks along the way?" They have 5,000 men, and when our 3,000 men and horses get around these barricades, they are afraid that they have already completed the assembly, and the 3,000 men will have no chance of winning against their 5,000 men! ”
Tan Wuye said: "The poor monks don't think so, it is precisely because they set up barricades that the poor monks suspect that there are no five thousand people in their camp, if they have five thousand people, they will have enough confidence, and there is no need to set up barricades at all!" ”
After saying that, Tan Wuye turned to Toga Shin and said; "Khan, please send 3,000 men to test it, and if you find that something is wrong, you can withdraw it! Now we have no choice but to break through the blockade of the cadres and kill them from here! ”
It is true that there is no choice, Tuhe Zhen is also very sober at this time, and he immediately ordered: "Kuhehan, you take 3,000 people to attack the camp of the cadres, and if you find that something is wrong, you will immediately retreat!" ”
"Yes!"
After agreeing, he immediately began to organize his troops, and it was not long before the three thousand men and horses were ready, and he gave the order and personally led the team to rush out of the valley.
Several cavalry squads of the cadre army that were patrolling at the mouth of the valley heard the movement and galloped towards the camp on horseback, while blowing the sound of horns.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
"Boom ······" A large number of horses' hooves were heard, and the sound of trumpets was the first to be heard, and the cadres in the camp quickly got up and began to assemble as quickly as possible.
The camp is less than three miles away from the valley mouth, if the Rouran cavalry charges according to the straight line distance, even if the cavalry of the dry army reacts quickly, they are afraid that it will be too late, but the dry army has set up a lot of roadblocks on the distance from the valley mouth to the camp, and the Rouran cavalry must bypass one barricade after another if they want to rush to the camp of the dry army, which requires a lot of time wasted.
"Kill—"
"Rush with me and kill all the Qianguo people!" Kuhehan roared while beating his horse and charging wildly.
Suddenly, Kuhehan, who was rushing to the front, involuntarily fell down, not only him, but also the rows of Rouran cavalry behind him fell one after another.
It turned out that there was a long trench on the way where the Rouran cavalry charged, and this trench was originally camouflaged, with some dead branches on it, and some dead grass on it, and a layer of turf on top, if you don't look closely, you can't see anything strange here.
Countless war horses fell into the trench and were nailed to death by the dense spikes inside, and some of the war horses and Rouran soldiers were not yet dead, and they howled and screamed temporarily.
Suddenly, he was thrown across the trench by his horse, and after hundreds of cavalry in front of him fell into a trap, the Rouran cavalry in the rear finally stopped in front of the trench.
At this time, there was already a reaction in the camp of the cadre army, and a large group of dry cavalry rushed out and rushed straight to this side.
Kuhehan immediately crossed the trench and turned over an ownerless war horse, and shouted: "Withdraw, quickly withdraw—"
The Rouran people came out violently, but in the end, they retreated in despair, which had too much impact on morale.
Seeing that Kuhehan was returning with his troops, Tuga Zhen immediately greeted him: "Kuhehan, are you okay?" ”
"Thank you Khan for your care, just scratching a little skin, I'm fine! I never thought that the Qianguo people dug a trench on the passage and lost more than 300 people, they were too cunning! ”
Tan Wuye said: "This just shows that they are weak in their hearts, there will definitely not be too many cadres in the camp in front, there are definitely not 5,000 people!" ”
At this time, the cavalry of the cadre army had already arrived near the trench, and Tan Wuye only glanced at it and said: "I said that there will not be many men and horses left here by the cadre army, and sure enough, they only have a thousand people!" ”
The general Kulu muttered to himself: "This ······ How is it possible, there were still 5,000 people yesterday, how can they ······ today"
"General Hulu doesn't have to blame himself, the people of Qianguo have always been good at using tricks, and the remaining 4,000 people must have secretly left last night, and these people stayed here just to scare you!"
After Tan Wuye finished speaking, he turned to Toga Zhen and saluted: "Your Majesty, there are only a thousand people on the other side, we can easily deal with them!" ”
Toga Zhen pointed to the barricades in the middle, quite embarrassed: "These ······ Blocking the cavalry charge, even if we only have a thousand men, it is not easy to rush through, in case they have laid a large number of traps in the middle, won't the sons and daughters have to suffer heavy losses? ”
At this time, Hu Hehan said: "Khan, there is no longer much to care about at this time, as long as we can solve these cadres, we can escape and ascend to heaven, even if more people die, it is worth it!" ”
When Toga really wanted to give the order for a strong attack and use his human life to make a way, Tan Wuye reminded: "Khan, don't we still have more than 4,000 soldiers who have lost their horses? Let them go out and clear the barricades! ”
Reminded by Tan Wuye, Tuga really remembered that more than 4,000 people had indeed lost their horses in the ambush yesterday, and he immediately ordered these soldiers who had lost their horses to open the way, clear all the roadblocks, and clear a passage for the cavalry charge.
More than 4,000 horseless Rouran soldiers walked out of the mouth of the valley with weapons and began to clear the barricades outside the valley mouth, which was seen by the cadres and soldiers.
The commander of the Qianran army found that a large number of cadres had gathered in the valley mouth, and there were definitely not so many Rouran soldiers guarding the valley yesterday, could it be that the main force of the Rouran army turned around and came back?
"It's not good, this must be the main force of the Rouran army turning around and coming back! It seems that this time the boss miscalculated! The commander of the Qianjun muttered in a low voice, he thought for a while, and ordered the adjutant general: "Send someone to report to the higher authorities quickly, just say that the Rouran army did not go deep into the mountains, but returned to the valley mouth along the same road, let the messenger bring a few more horses, food and water, go quickly!" ”
"Yes!"
The two messengers took six horses and enough food and water to run off into the distance.
After the adjutant had made arrangements, he returned and asked the commander, "What should we do now?" Since the main force of the Rouran Army has turned around and returned, with our little men, we are only afraid that the enemy will not be able to fight, and we are afraid that all the brothers will confess here, and it will not be delayed for long! ”
The commander frowned and thought for a moment, and ordered: "It's really pointless for us to forcibly block it, and let the soldiers lose their lives in vain, but before we leave, we have to give them a little bit of power, and give the order, everyone will follow me and rush over to shoot those Rouran soldiers who clear the barricades!" ”
"Yes!"
A command flag waved several times in the air, and after a few horns, the spear in the commander's hand pointed forward: "Rush with me, shoot them, charge!" ”
"Rush—"
Under the leadership of the commander of the thousand, a thousand cavalry rushed to the Rouran soldiers who were clearing the barricades, and they shot arrows as they turned, and the arrows shot out in waves, and the Rouran soldiers were shot down without stopping.
After losing more than 200 people, the remaining Rouran people turned around and fled.
Hu Hehan led thousands of cavalry to supervise the formation behind, he pulled out his scimitar with a cold face and shouted: "Order, retreat, kill-"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The Rouran infantry who were fleeing back were shot and killed by the rear Supervisor Fever Team, and more than 100 people were killed in a few breaths.
On the way to clear the barricades, the Rouran infantry paid heavy casualties, they were shot by the cavalry in waves on the way to escape, and more people were shot dead while clearing the barricades.
By the time the last barricade was cleared, there were less than 1,000 of the 4,000 Rouran soldiers who had no horses left, and more than 3,000 were shot to death by the cadres, and the ground was covered with corpses.
"General, look, the Rouran cavalry is about to rush over!" The lieutenant shouted.
The commander glanced at it, and turned around: "Withdraw—"
