Chapter 118: The Turks Will Do the Tricks
In less than a moment, Ju Yong closed the door and opened it, and more than 20 soldiers, led by Li Jian, held torches and quickly ran towards those ownerless war horses.
It was not too far away, and soon Li Jian and the others leaned in.
The atmosphere became tense at that moment, and by the light of the torches, the sergeants above the city pass saw it really, and as Li Jian and the others got closer, the corpses of the Turks who had fallen to the ground suddenly jumped up in half.
"General, there is fraud!" Zhang Yin was beside him, his expression changed slightly.
Yuan Hui's face was not moved, but his gaze became even colder, he reached out and pressed his shoulder, and wrote lightly: "Look!" ”
The Turks who rose up, the most elite pawns in their army, saw that the Zhou army was "in the middle of the plan" to go out of the city, and a bunch of people attacked and killed Li Jian and others regardless of it. If the soldiers out of the city are unprepared, they may really be defeated by one blow.
However, in the face of the "sudden" attack of the Turks, Li Jian and other sergeants were not surprised at all, and quickly took out the crossbow machine from behind when the Turks pounced. One man and one crossbow, all wound, aimed at the enemy.
Short crossbows, in such close encounters, are especially lethal. The most ferocious Turkic soldiers saw the crossbow in Zhou's hand, and their faces changed wildly, of course they knew how powerful such guys were.
They didn't have any time to react at all, and with Li Jian's shout of "release", the neat sound of the machine began, and the crossbow arrows broke through the air at a terrifying speed, and in one round of shots, more than half of the Turks in front of them fell. Most of the people who fell, their bodies were pierced by sharp crossbow arrows.
The thick smell of blood quickly spread among the mountain passes, and the remaining Turkic soldiers were a little foggy, and soon, a sense of fear surged uncontrollably. They all turned to flee for their lives, and the soldiers of the Zhou army, under the leadership of Li Jian, suddenly pursued forward, and the speed of the arrows in their hands was not slow.
After another round of crossbow arrows were fired, there were almost no Turkic soldiers in front of him. Pulling out his waist knife and quickly solving the scattered survivors, Li Jian beckoned the remaining brothers, grabbed the frightened war horse, rode one by one, and rushed towards the city gate.
A near-massacre confrontation happened very quickly, and the guards who witnessed it at the city gate were a little unresponsive. Zhang Yin was beside Yuan Hui, dumbfounded.
At the same time that Li Jian led people to slaughter the Turkic soldiers who had feigned death, at the end of the mountain road, the Turkic cavalry, which had all been withdrawn, rushed towards the city pass. This is obviously a trick of the Turks.
It's a pity that when it approached Guancheng, Li Jian and the others had already entered Guannei. The leading Turkic general, looking at the closed door under the dark curtain, did not have the slightest recourse. From the tower of the city, the long-range strikes from the guards came one after another, and they didn't dare to stay at all, and they withdrew in a gloomy manner, this time it was a real retreat.
Above the gate, the lights and fires turned on again, dispelling the darkness.
"General, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!" Li Jian hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and said excitedly to Yuan Huiyu: "A total of twenty-three horses have been taken, and it is not clear how many Turks have died, but we have no brothers killed or injured!" ”
"Good work!" Yuan Hui whispered a word of reassurance.
Although he was confident, he still took a certain risk by sending Li Jian and them, and once things went wrong, for the safety of the city, Li Jian and the others would be abandoned under the city. Li Jian is willing to take this risk, this kind of bearing, is indeed a talent.
At this time, Zhang Yin on the side asked in surprise: "General, you have long known that the Turks are cheating?" ”
"After Huairong, almost all of them are mountain roads, and the Turks run all the way, at night, they should have rested, but they attacked the city pass, which is a problem, and people with a little bit of brains will not do this." Yuan Hui directly entered the state of pretending to be X, and talked eloquently: "Originally, I only thought it was a temptation, and I could shoot it back with a bow!" ”
"However, with a total of five rounds of arrows and more than two hundred and fifty feathered arrows, can we shoot so many Turkic cavalry?"
"Even so, I only thought it was strange and didn't think much of it!" Yuan Hui stretched out his hand and pointed outside the pass, as if he was imitating the feeling of Di Fat and Fat X: "Until you say that you want to send someone out of the pass and bring back those war horses left by the Turks!" ”
"I asked Li Jian to lead the brothers, and everyone held a hard crossbow in case the Turks tricked, and sure enough, these Turks really set a trap......
After Yuan Hui finished loading X, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but show a look of admiration, and the captain Zhang Yin was a little afraid, and scolded in his mouth: "These Turkic thieves are so cunning, if it weren't for the general's sharp eyes, they would suddenly be in trouble, and there is really a risk of being taken advantage of by them to break into the city!" ”
Yuan Hui turned his head again to look at the mountain road in front of Juyong Pass, completely black and dark, there was no moon tonight, and only a little starlight was sprinkled on the night sky. With good night vision, Yuan Hui was also able to see the real corpses left by the Turks, lying quietly among the mountain roads.
"Although the strategy is crude, the Turks still know how to use the strategy, which is indeed beyond the expectations of the general......" muttered softly, and Yuan Hui's tone was full of curiosity. Its surface is covered with full of X.
"The defense of the night is up to you! Under no circumstances should the door be opened or closed! With two words of advice to Zhang Yin and others, Yuan Hui walked easily and went to the gate: "Ben will continue to go back to the house to sleep!" If the Turks have not attacked the city, do not disturb me......"
Yigan didn't have any surprised expressions this time, and gave it to Yuan Langjun: "Obey the order!" ”
"These Turks are really disturbing dreams...... Yuan Hui sighed loudly before going down.
……
Less than ten miles north of the Juyong Pass, in a huge river valley, stationed the forward cavalry sent by Helu. There is a tributary of Lushui on the side, and it is not easy to find such a camping place.
It's just that the steep peaks and cliffs on both sides are surrounded continuously, which seems to squeeze the Turkic cavalry in the river valley, which is extremely oppressive. Haji, the leading general appointed by Heru, stood in the tent with a serious expression.
After listening to the reports of his subordinates, the gloom between his eyebrows became more condensed. It seems that his attempt ended in complete failure, with five hundred horsemen, almost injuring an adult horse, which can be regarded as a loss to his wife and soldiers.
"You can retreat and rest......" Haji commanded, waving his hand at the dusty Turkic general.
"Yes!"
"Something is wrong, I have been thinking about the strategy for so long, but I was directly recognized! There are capable people in the pass, who can actually see through the general's clever plan? Haji shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Juyongguan's precautions are not as good as the prince said.......
Out of the tent, looking at the peaks on either side of the mountain towering in the darkness of the night, Haji involuntarily felt some anxiety in his heart. If you lose the effect of the raid, how can you overcome such a danger?
"Bring those two Tang people!" With a cold voice, Haji commanded his own soldiers.
After a while, two rebels who had been ordered to inform the Turks were brought in, and they were extremely worried.
"Didn't you say that there was a response in Juyongguan? Why do I knock on the gate and don't see the welcome? Glaring at the two, Haji said angrily.
His heart trembled, and the two looked at each other, and one of them replied nervously: "The army arrived suddenly, maybe it is the brothers in the city, seeing that it is getting late, it is difficult to do it for a while......"
"Nonsense, I don't dare to do it at night, let alone during the day?" Haji immediately reprimanded.
