Chapter 203: The Battle of Wuwei (Twenty-Nine)

With a bang, Tuoba Shi Shu slammed his fist on the saddle carried by the horse under his crotch, he himself is not good at riding, but he grew up in the Central Plains since he was a child, so he can also ride on horseback with the help of the saddle like the Central Plains people. Later, even when he came to the territory of the Turks to make a living, he did not deliberately learn any equestrian skills or anything like that, but still ran around with the Turkic army in the saddle.

This punch did not startle others, but it snorted the horse under Tuoba Shishu's crotch a few times, and then just stood in place uneasily. In the puzzled gaze cast by the surrounding leaders, Tuoba Shi Shu clenched his fists again, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Let the troops on the front line withdraw, now that the black armor soldiers of the Western Regions Army have arrived, they have no chance of winning." ”

After that, Tuoba Shishu turned the horse's head and returned to the Turkic camp without looking back. There were already corresponding soldiers on the side who went to convey Tuoba Shishu's order, so after Tuoba Shishu returned to the camp, he left a group of leaders who accompanied him here to watch the battle situation and looked at each other here. Fortunately, this embarrassing scene did not last long, and after a while, a Turkic soldier in the camp trotted all the way over, and said to the leaders who were still stunned: "Leaders, Lord Tuoba invites you to come to the camp to discuss tomorrow's battle, and please come with me quickly." ”

So the leaders of the Turkic soldiers, led by the Turkic soldiers, came to Tuoba Shishu's camp again, and after sitting down in the camp in order, Tuoba Shishu said to them: "Today's battle has been decided, and it is impossible to defeat the Han people on the opposite side no matter what. So in order to save our warriors from making senseless sacrifices, I have decided to remove them all, do you have any opinions? ”

From Tuoba Shishu's words, the leaders in the camp all sensed a trace of cold chill, and then since Tuoba Shishu killed Jito, he shocked some Xiao Jiujiu who disobeyed him, plus Tuoba Shishu's management of the soldiers was quite supported by the soldiers in the army, so some orders at this time were even more effective than the orders of Shibi Khan, who was still sick in bed. So at this time, when he heard that Tuoba Shishu was not good, all the leaders in the camp shook their heads, expressing their absolute support for Tuoba Shishu's order.

Seeing that none of the leaders in the camp raised any objections, Tuoba Shishu eased his gloomy face, and then sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and said to the leaders: "Today's events have proved that we can no longer defeat those Han people in close hand-to-hand combat, and their soldiers wearing black armor and holding long knives are much braver than the warriors on our grassland. However, fortunately, the information I got from Liang Shidu said that such soldiers were rare under Li Wenyuan, so I guessed that the black-armored soldiers on the defense line in front of us should be all of Li Wenyuan's stay in Wuwei County. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of our large number of horses and the ability to move quickly with the whole army, and quickly march towards the hinterland of Wuwei County. Presumably, the enemy army on our front line is fighting very bravely at this time, and it must be the elite of Wuwei County, so we move quickly at this time, bypassing the elite troops of Wuwei County in front of us and attacking Wuwei County directly, and we will definitely be able to break Wuwei County in one fell swoop. ”

"Lord-sama, what do you say we need to do? We are absolutely obedient to your orders, and we will never think otherwise, my lords, am I right? After Tuoba Shishu finished his proposal, one of the leaders of the small tribes stood up, and then said to the leaders of the various tribes in the camp.

After hearing the leader of the small tribe speak, the leaders in the camp also nodded their heads in agreement: "Yes, yes, we have the ability of Lord Tuoba for all to see. At this time, there is no more suitable commander of the whole army than Lord Tuoba, and we are all willing to accept the command of Lord Tuoba! Your Excellency, just give the order. ”

These leaders knew that Tuoba Shishu had grown up in the Central Plains since he was a child, and he was deeply influenced by the culture of the Han people, so at this time, he learned the tone of those Han people to say to Tuoba Shishu.

Sure enough, after Tuoba Shi Shu heard this, the strength between his eyebrows was finally almost scattered. And there seemed to be a faint smile, but that expression was fleeting, and no one noticed. Tuoba Shishu saw that the leaders in the camp tent were willing to listen to his command, but patted the table with his hand and said, "Okay, let's settle it like this." After the soldiers of the whole line returned, except for the wounded soldiers who could not ride horses, they remained in the camp, and all the rest of the troops immediately went south to bypass the Han defense line in front of them. ”

When the leaders of the camp heard Tuoba Shishu's words, they were all shocked in their hearts. Except for the wounded soldiers who could not ride horses, they remained in the camp, and all the rest of the men mounted their horses and advanced towards Wuwei County. Isn't that just to leave these wounded soldiers who have lost their ability to move on the battlefield in the camp and wait for death? After a bloody battle tonight, the beams of the two armies are settled. At this time, if these wounded soldiers are left in the camp, and the next morning, after those Han troops react, they will attack the camp, then how can these wounded soldiers still have their lives? However, some of the leaders who reacted made a statement to Tuoba Shishu that they wanted to save the lives of those wounded soldiers. But he was forced by the power of Tuoba Shishu and didn't say anything, and could only sigh secretly in his heart and feel sorry for the fate of those wounded soldiers.

After the leaders came out of Tuoba Shishu's tent, they walked in pairs. Among them, it is inevitable to talk about some of the things mentioned by Tuoba Shishu in the camp. At this time, one leader said to the other: "Isn't this move of Lord Tuoba to send those steppe warriors who have lost their ability to move on the battlefield into the butcher's knife of the Han people?" Although this move is also a helpless thing, after all, this war still has to be won by finding a way. But with so many wounded soldiers killed, is our victory really worth it? I really don't understand how the khan could hand over military and political power to such a person? ”
