Chapter 100: Soldiers Descend on the City

Fighting in the rivers and lakes will be completely different from fighting on the battlefield.

Competition, point to point.

Vendetta, unscrupulous!

In order to obtain the general order, the monk was killed without leaving the Buddha and the Loulan ghost envoy, which was obviously biased towards the latter.

The dust drifted away, disturbing the enemy's line of sight, and during the change of moves, a sharp soft sword suddenly popped out of the dust rod.

And the Loulan ghost envoy, with his left hand, flew over, threw a small snake to the Dunhuang lord, touched his waist with his right hand, and when he poked out again, there was already a dagger as black as ink.

"Die!!"

The Dunhuang warlord was not afraid, waving his long lance, blocking left and right, relying on strong strength, forcing the two people from the rivers and lakes who took the dexterous route to retreat, and was about to draw out the horizontal knife to play a lance and knife, but found that the Loulan ghost envoy was dragged out of the battle circle by a figure.

Long live Shi!

The lord of Dunhuang roared and pounced on the monk who did not leave the Buddha, "There is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door for hell to break into, today, you two will stay here and sleep forever!" ”

·······

"Poof·····"

The Loulan ghost envoy spit out a mouthful of blood and pulled out a broken arrow in his abdomen, "Damn, how can there be so many fierce people in the Sui army, just one pawn can seriously injure me!" ”

"Don't speak, climb over the Great Wall, and return to Shanshan City overnight!" Next to him, the face of the Buddha who killed the monk was pale, the original floating momentum was gone, the light-colored Taoist robe was covered with bloodstains, and the right hand clenched the left wrist strangled by the cloth, and the palm of the hand had long disappeared.

"I knew now, why bother to run this not far, it's better to kill the bald army and take the head of the main general!" The Loulan ghost envoy was full of resentment.

"Heh, it's easy to say, can you and I dodge the arrow array? Besides, the bald head can kill Wolverine and the kind old Hades, there must be some means! Even if he breaks through the army with serious injuries, what can he do? ”

"Damn Sui Army! Do they want to take control of the Western Regions on the occasion of the withdrawal of the Turkic army? ”

"It's impossible, don't forget Tuyuhun!" Killing the monk without leaving the Buddha shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's useless to say more now, the horse is lost in front, try to copy the path!" ”

The Loulan ghost envoy looked up to the sky and sighed, "If you don't get the general order, Shanshan City is in danger!" ”

"Dangerous? Haha, I think your lives are in danger! ”

"Who!"

Killing the monk without leaving the Buddha turned back suddenly, but saw a tall man wearing a Confucian robe and a black mask on his face, with two hundred soldiers with bowstrings, rushing out of the dense forest.

"Go !!"

The Loulan ghost cracked his eyes, let out a heart-rending roar, and jumped deep into the swamp.

However, the action is slow after all!

"Put !!"

"Puff ······"

"Gentleman Liuyi, who said that I can't lead troops and can't kill?!"

········

"Squeak Squeak Squeak ~~~~~~~"

The sound of wheels rubbing against the axle is harsh and numb.

But for Yang Shuang, it is like a symphony.

After ten days of holding back, I finally gathered 50 trebuchets and 50 bed crossbows of wood, and for this, I almost cut down an oasis!

In the future, the desertification of the earth seems to have its own credit.

"Speed up !!"

The mountain roads are rugged and very inconvenient to transport.

Fortunately, 500 camels were captured from the Shanshan army, and together with the original thousand war horses, they were enough to carry the baggage.

When I walked out of the Tianshan Mountains, crossed a small desert, and entered the Turpan Basin, ten days passed again.

Looking at Shanshan City in the distance, Yang Shuang suddenly had some realization.

It is no wonder that ancient wars were protracted, sometimes even for years.

It turns out that time is wasted on the road!

"Big brother, there are still five miles away from Shanshan City, it is estimated that the other party has already discovered us, the city gate is closed, and the city is full of flags!" Shi Da was a little idle, running back and forth with the sentry horse, and he had been running for a whole day.

Yang Shuang looked up at the sky, there was still an hour before it got dark!

That's enough!

Half an hour to assemble trebuchets and bed crossbows, half an hour to prepare the army, and the remaining hour to play freely.

With such powerful firepower, even if King Shanshan transforms into a king, it is estimated that he will not be able to withstand the bombardment!

"Attack the city directly!"

"Big brother, the art of war: you can't wear a strong crossbow at the end. After several days of hurrying, our army has been exhausted and tired, so it is better to set up camp and wait for tomorrow to attack the city. "Niu Er's spring and autumn seems to have made some achievements.

"Then have you ever heard that attacking them unprepared and taking them by surprise?"

"I understand!"

Yang Shuang slapped him on the back of the head, "How many times have I told you, read Sun Tzu's Art of War, don't look at the thirty-six strategies, otherwise, don't want to lead troops to fight in the future!" ”

Sun Tzu's Art of War Yang Shuang can memorize it all, and the thirty-six strategies can be counted all, together with Sun Bin's Art of War, recorded by Zhong Kui and taught Yang Shuang's generals.

But these two well-known 'books' are not the same thing at all.

The former is a book of war, and the latter is a strategy!

One needs to be 'understood' and the other needs to be 'enlightened'.

The former involves: planning, combat, attack, shape, potential, virtual and real, military struggle, nine changes, marching, terrain, nine places, fire attack, use and other thirteen articles, each of which is the essence, and those who understand it are the god of war!

The latter, however, are 36 commonly used strategies, whether they are in the bureau or those who set up the bureau, they need to adapt measures to local conditions and circumstances to make corresponding changes.

Sun Tzu's Art of War contains only one sentence, and it contains thirty-six strategies, soldiers, and tricks!

Therefore, on the battlefield, you must first understand the formation of soldiers before you can use strategy.

This thing doesn't even know how to arrange troops, so he wants to play thirty-six tricks, and it is estimated that if he encounters an expert, he will be wiped out!

Niu Er was a little aggrieved, "Big brother, in fact, I have a good idea, not only can I win Shanshan City, but also harvest another city!" ”

"Huh? What method? "Yang Shuang is a little curious, this guy has been reading military books for half a year, and he should have gained a little.

"I will lead a large army to confront King Shanshan here, and you will take five hundred soldiers and horses to raid Gaochang City overnight!"

"Huh?" Yang Shuang slapped his head violently, and he actually forgot about Gao Changguo in the south! "Bring the marching map!"

The sentinel had extended the warning range to two hundred miles to the south, during which he happened to meet Ma Lao Er, a salt seller, and after exchanging information, the marching map covered almost the entire Western Regions.

Originally, Yang Shuang thought that Shanshan and Yumen Pass were thousands of miles apart, but after seeing the marching map, he realized that it was not the same thing.

According to the arrangement order, Yumen Pass, Yiwu, Shanshan, Gaochang, like a "◇" type, the bottom, for Yumen Pass, the top for Shanshan City, the left side for Gaochang, the right side for Yiwu.

From this, it is also conceivable.

When the Silk Road was prosperous, merchants set off from the Central Plains and arrived at Dunhuang along the Hexi Corridor.

After a little trimming, part of it went south to Yangguan, and part of it went west to Yumen.

Those who go south to Yangguan replenish the water source in the Dang River, cross the vast sand sea, and arrive at the end of the country, Wuqiang, Jingjue Ancient Kingdom, Shache, Shule, Qiuzi and other countries in turn, and finally arrive at Shanshan City.

Those who went out of Yumen in the west entered the Xiongnu or Rouran, or the Turks, and when they returned, they repaired in Yiwu, and went west to Shanshan City, where they joined the first part.

The former exchanged valuables for melons and fruits, while the latter sold salt and horses, or smuggled some pig iron.

From here, it can be seen that Shanshan City is an important geographical location.
