Chapter 142: Sickness for the Turks (2)
Nearly 100 Tang soldiers disguised as Turks came to the camp of the Turks, looking at the tents around them, the neighing of war horses everywhere, the Turks were in the steppe, they had endless soldiers and horses.
"You guys!" A Turkic strong man shouted, "What tribesmen." ”
The soldiers looked at each other and immediately dispersed.
"Tell me about you! Stop me! A Turk stepped forward and asked, grabbing a weak, pale soldier.
He smiled miserably at the Turkic man, grabbed the other man's hand and bit it down!
"Ahh
A scream rang out from the crowd, and the Turkic kept kicking the soldier in front of him, "Let go of me!" ”
He bit fiercely, and with all his strength, the other party's blood flowed into his mouth, and the Turk picked up a scimitar and stabbed this person into his body again and again.
Breaking away from the soldier in front of him, the Turk covered his wrist with the bloody wound on the tiger's mouth, and kicked the person lying on the ground again, "Which tribe is it!" ”
Lifting the other party's clothes, he saw that behind the clothes was Da Tang's armor, and he didn't care about the wounds on his hands, he immediately shouted, "A Tang man has mixed in!" ”
———————— dividing line
When the Yanmen Gate was closed, Su Dingfang said to Cheng Chumo, "Have you seen it, these two attacks of the Turks are very orderly, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, somewhat like our Central Plains tactics." ”
"To put it bluntly." Cheng Chu said silently.
"A few years ago, I followed General Li Jing to fight the Turks all the way to the north of Yinshan." Su Dingfang said quietly, "The Turks have always been straight to war, and they never want to retreat and advance like this. ”
"You mean someone is teaching the Turks to fight?" Cheng Chumo asked.
Su Dingfang nodded, "I think there are high-ranking people in the Turkic army who are guiding them." ”
Cheng Chumo looked at the grassland, the number of Turks was still increasing, and there were more than 300,000 people, and there were tribes from all over the world filling the army, "How many more men and horses do we have?" ”
"Not much, more than 60,000." Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and said, "The Turks are still replenishing, and there is still a tough battle ahead!" ”
Gu Qing has always been with Yan Liben and the Zuo Supervisor, constantly making mines with his hands and feet, and Jin Wuwei has firmly surrounded this place, and no one can get close.
"What are you doing with your face covered and your hands wrapped in cloth?" Yan Liben looked at it and said.
Gu Qing didn't know if he was infected with smallpox, Yang Sheng hadn't had much contact with the wounded, and it shouldn't be a big problem to see his physical condition, but he had personally dealt with the injuries of the soldiers, although he didn't know if the vaccine he had taken before the crossing would have an effect, but he still had to be vigilant.
I had to keep making mines to relieve the anxiety in my heart.
The Turkic attack seems to have stopped, they have not attacked for three days, confirming that they have no signs of high fever, nor have they developed herpes, and the incubation period of smallpox is only two or three days, it seems that he is indeed not infected, Yang Sheng is also alive, and it seems that he is fine.
"That's a big deal!" Gu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief.
The corpse mountain under Yanmen Pass has been cleared, and there are not many mines that can be made in a few days, only about 300, Yan Liben asked Jin Wuwei to collect raw materials for production, and at the same time, there have been people sent by the city behind Yanmen Pass to send all kinds of baggage and fire oil.
Batches of Guanzhong troops from the rear came to Yanmen Pass one after another, and hundreds of thousands of troops arrived in batches.
Gu Qing came to Cheng Chumo's side, "Why haven't they come yet, father." ”
"How can it be so fast, hundreds of thousands of troops are behemoths when they move." Cheng Yanjin said, "I guess it's already on the way." ”
A gust of wind blew, and Su Dingfang looked at the rare clear sky, "The wind direction is about to change." ”
"It's changed!" Gu Qing felt the wind, "Isn't it still the northwest wind?" ”
"Tomorrow will change." Su Dingfang said with a smile, "This skill was taught to me by General Li Jing. ”
The time of day, the location, the people, Gu Qing also thought in his heart, the location is on the Yanmen Gate, the people and the marching heart are not bad, the time of the day is the direction of the wind, but there will really be a southeast wind this season?
In the following days, the Turks were very strange and did not attack, it seems that the signs of smallpox have appeared, the footsteps of the Turks were dragged down by smallpox, Gu Qing began to make hot air balloons, huge Kong Ming lanterns were placed one by one, the wind direction was really as Su Dingfang said, it had become the southeast wind, some incendiary bombs were placed on the hot air balloons, tens of thousands of soldiers made more than 3,000 huge Kong Ming lanterns were displayed in front, and the bamboo basket under the Kong Ming lantern was filled with explosives and gasoline cans, as long as the lampshade of the Kong Ming lantern was broken, The flaming brazier will tip over, and if the slightest spark touches the fire line on the bamboo basket, it can detonate the explosive and make the gasoline burn.
The Turks are repairing, and these days Gu Qing has led people to make incendiary bombs, explosives, and mines without sleep.
At night, Gu Qing led the soldiers to burn the wet grass outside the Yanmen Pass, and the entire Yanmen Pass was shrouded in smoke, and the figures buried mines in the smoke.
On that night, there was a mutiny in the Turkic camp, and smallpox had spread among the Turkic army, which was the reason why the Turkic army had been slow to move in the past few days.
When the smoke cleared, Yanmen Pass was restored to its original state, but there were many traces of concealment on the ground, and there were many, many mines buried, and the fire burned under Yanmen Pass.
Gu Qing and Yang Sheng looked at the fire in front of them, and the corpses of those Tang Jun were burned, "Gu Qing, don't you bring back their bones?" ”
"Take the ashes with you." Gu Qing said, "I hope their heroic souls can rest in peace under the Nine Springs." ”
From beginning to end, Gu Qing couldn't forget the general's expression when he died in front of him, the clothes blown by the strong wind, Gu Qing bowed deeply to these lost soldiers, "I am honored to come to Datang to see you, with your efforts, with your protection, this land will have prosperity from generation to generation, you go well, your blood will not be shed in vain." I, Gu Qing, will make the Turks uneasy. ”
Yang Sheng also followed a salute, Gu Qing's words were in his ears, Gu Qing had always had a sense of anger on his body, this anger was unreservedly exposed this time, even the battle-hardened Yang Sheng was so cold, why did Gu Qing have such a heavy anger.
"There seems to be something wrong with the Turkic army." Su Dingfang looked at the Turkic army with torches, as if many tribes were evacuating.
"It's weird if it's not messy." Gu Qing sneered.
Su Dingfang understood something, "Your plan has succeeded, but it is too hurtful to do so." ”
"Don't let the Turks come over." Gu Qing said, "We must not let them kill until the Yanmen Gate is closed." ”
The Turkic side is full of shouts and killings, and the various Turkic tribes have begun to kill each other in order to prevent the spread of the plague, and there is a Central Plains person sitting in the Turks, who really didn't expect the plague to break out in the camp, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who ran away were afraid of the plague.
