Chapter 65: Arrest the Scouts

Heaven is not beautiful. Ever since the news of the Turkic invasion was received, it had been raining in the sky.

From the preparation of supplies to the departure of the whole army, almost all of them were carried out in the rain.

And Li Yuan was on the railing of Lanchi Palace, watching Li Shimin's troops walk into the drizzle, but his heart became unhappy.

Looking at the whole Tang Dynasty, the most capable of fighting is probably Li Shimin. As soon as he set out on the expedition, he took the fierce generals in the Tiance Mansion, where could he not fight! The more this is the case, the more jealous Li Yuan is. However, every time he needs to go on an expedition, he can only be dispatched.

Li Shimin led the army all the way north, but due to the continuous rainfall, it not only made the ground muddy and difficult to walk, but also seriously hit the morale of the **.

Looking at the silent soldiers who were buried in the march, Li Shimin sighed helplessly. Looking up at the sky, I saw a slight drizzle falling, falling on my face, cool.

The marching procession was a little messy, and many of the soldiers even left the procession to rest on the side of the road. And those cavalrymen, in order to save horsepower, also had to dismount and walk, advancing one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Zhang Yunwen walked in the center of the line with the reconnaissance battalion, with cavalry in front and foot soldiers behind. Looking at the listless appearance of the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, Zhang Yunwen was secretly uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say: "Look at you, what do you look like!" ”

Then Zhao Yi suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, isn't this rain too annoying?" Look at the appearance of the brothers, they don't have the heart to walk at all! ”

Zhang Yunwen looked at the long flow of people in front and back, and suddenly had an idea, and said loudly: "Brothers, let's sing a song!" After speaking, he sang "One, Two, Three, and Four Songs" by himself:

"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, like a song

Green barracks, green barracks taught me

The singing is shaking and moving

Singing happily

One, one

A steel gun was handed to me

Two, two, two, two, two

didn't say a word for the motherland,

Three, three, the soldiers of the three armies are bitter and happy

The four seas are home

Hi! Hi Hi!!

Where is me

Where is me

There's it there

One two three four

One two three four

One two three four

Warrior's song

……”

This "One, Two, Three, and Four Songs" has a strong sense of rhythm and is very suitable for marching. In addition, the lyrics are simple and catchy, and after Zhang Yunwen sang it for the first time, some people began to hum along! Of course, these people were the non-commissioned officers of the reconnaissance battalion. But soon, this "One, Two, Three, Four Song" spread from the reconnaissance battalion to the cavalry in front, and the foot soldiers behind were humming again.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen took out the momentum of singing back then, and roared this song hoarsely. This roar suddenly roared with passion, and I saw that the whole team also roared with Zhang Yunwen's voice. Unconsciously, the footsteps were in rhythm, no one cared about the soil on their feet, no one looked at the clouds in the sky, and all concentrated on shouting this "One, Two, Three, Four Song".

Suddenly, morale was like a rainbow.

When Li Shimin was helpless, he suddenly heard a bright song singing in the advancing ranks, first one person, then a battalion, and finally the three armies, and the morale of the entire advancing team slowly rose, and in the end, the singing was high-pitched and the morale was like a rainbow. History, my heart suddenly rejoiced, and when I looked at the person who sang again, it was Zhang Yunwen. I couldn't help but praise in my heart.

After singing "One, Two, Three, and Four Songs" seven or eight times, seeing that the soldiers had already learned, Zhang Yunwen suddenly shouted: "Brothers, work hard, can this wind and rain stump our big ** people?" ”

"Can't!" The sound of neatness is like a landslide and a tsunami.

"Our Datang is the strongest!"

"Datang is the strongest!" The soldiers shouted in unison again.

Morale is at its highest all of a sudden!

In this way, they marched all the way and sang all the way, until they reached the outskirts of Fenzhou.

However, when he first arrived at Wulonghan outside the city of Fenzhou, suddenly several scouts came to report.

"Marshal, I found a large Turkic army in front!"

Li Shimin was shocked, he was stumped by the city of Fengzhou, and the Turks had already attacked? The soldiers were ordered to camp nearby.

"Zhang Yunwen!" Li Shimin sat in the big tent.

"The last general!" Zhang Yunwen clenched his hands into fists.

"Immediately lead the rangers to cruise around, waiting for an opportunity to capture the Turkic scouts!"

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Yunwen was ordered to leave the big tent and come to the camp where the reconnaissance battalion was stationed.

"Brothers, come here, there's work to do!" Zhang Yunwen stood outside the camp and shouted.

A few moments later, more than a hundred people were assembled.

"Now I order that all the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion be divided into five teams, led by me, Li Yang, Zhao Yi, Liu Cheng, and Hu Boss, and each lead a team, to cruise around the city of Fengzhou and capture the Turkic scouts! Remember, keep your mouth alive! Also, whether you catch it or not, you must return here after an hour. ”

"Yes!" More than a hundred people said in unison.

Zhang Yunwen turned over and got on the horse, glanced at a few people next to him, and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

Suddenly, five cavalry teams galloped out in different directions.

Zhang Yunwen took the lead, carefully controlling the speed of the horse, not too fast, not too slow, so that he could maintain the horsepower well, and he could chase when he encountered the Turkic cavalry.

There are many low and undulating mountains outside the city, and the vegetation on the mountains is so lush that it is extremely easy to hide.

Zhang Yunwen was standing on a mountain ridge at the moment, and a pair of eyes swept over every place below.

Alas, it would be nice to have a telescope! Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of this telescope, his mind suddenly moved, well, this thing is not difficult to make, two convex lenses put on a straight tube, adjust the focus and it's over. However, it is difficult to find materials to make convex lenses.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a soldier next to him say: "Boss, look over there, it's a Turk, right?" ”

Zhang Yunwen took a look and saw a scout team of thirteen or fourteen people galloping on horseback. Depending on the direction of their movement, they will pass by the mountains under their feet.

"Hehe, wait for the rabbit, I'm really waiting for a rabbit!" Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but smile, "Prepare for battle!" As they passed by, we fired a burst of crossbows and then rushed down at full speed. Remember, only a bow can shoot them on the limbs and shoulders, not the head! We're going to catch it alive! ”

When the scout team came running quickly, Zhang Yunwen picked up a crossbow and aimed it at the shoulder of the horseman, which felt like he was shooting a moving target.

"Put!"

Only a string sound was heard, and more than thirty arrows were shot out at once. The galloping cavalry suddenly fell by half.

"Rush-" Zhang Yunwen pulled out the three-edged military thorn and rushed out first.

With little effort, the scout team of more than a dozen people was captured. Of course, three people were shot, one was trampled to death by horses, and a dying Turkic scout was stabbed by Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen looked at these Turks and found that they were still a little different from the Han Chinese. The first is the skin tone, which is much darker. The second is physique, looking at their big shoulders and round waists, their physique is better than ordinary people.

Tie the remaining men together with ropes, put them on their horses, and go back.

In the meantime, several Turkic soldiers yelled and made a fuss, but in Turkic language, Zhang Yunwen couldn't understand it, and directly held the knife on the back of their necks, and suddenly, several Turkic scouts fell to the ground softly.

On the way back, he encountered another scout team, but this time it was a head-to-head confrontation, and Zhang Yunwen saw the power of the Turkic bow and horse. The bow and arrow were very accurate, if it weren't for Zhang Yunwen and the others wearing a layer of chain mail and a layer of leather armor, maybe someone would have been injured.

In the end, Zhang Yunwen's captives increased to more than twenty people.

Back to the barracks with these people, a team has already returned. They all encountered a scout team and, like Zhang Yunwen, killed a few people and captured most of them alive.

Two more teams came back one after another, both of which were fully loaded.

However, seeing that an hour was coming, and the team led by Li Yang had not returned to the camp yet, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but be a little secretly angry.

After waiting for a long time, finally, dozens of Li Yang's people returned.

"Boss, look at how many people I have arrested?" Li Yang got off the horse and said excitedly. Behind him, there were nearly fifty Turkic scouts tied.

Zhang Yunwen opened his eyes angrily and said to Li Yang: "Li Yang, you are guilty!" ”

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but Zhang Yunwen said sharply: "When I set off, the general had already made it very clear that he would return in an hour, but you actually regarded the military order as child's play!" Come on, unload all the equipment of Li Yang and his team! In this battle, you must not act, so reflect on it! ”

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then shrugged his head.
