Chapter 217: The Battle of Shangjing (2)
"Haha, now this kid Wujie should know the power of our Tiance Army, right?" Hu Xiaosi saw that the momentum of the pro-guard team was like a rainbow, and he actually suppressed Wujie's troops with an absolute disadvantage, and suddenly smiled happily.
"Lord, has the pro-guard team been trained by Xiaohu for a while? This is the only thing this guy likes the most. Chen Fan saw that these guards were silent one by one, but after rushing up, every move was directed at the opponent's head, and the head rolled down between the swings of the long knife, almost never using the second move, and couldn't help but say.
"Okay, you two go forward and rescue Huanjiu, and then lead the troops to retreat, if you really want to lure out the opponent's large army, maybe this war will be launched in advance, which is not good for us." Li Xuanqing shook his head, he didn't have much interest in this kind of skirmish, and it was enough to teach the other party a lesson.
Chen Fan and Hu Xiaosi glanced at each other and urged the war horse to step forward violently, cutting down the Huangjiasi cavalry surrounding Huanjiu and others to the ground and entering the field, and the three of them worked together to force back Wujie.
"Usuke, you're not our opponent, go back, let's have a showdown in the future." Li Xuanqing made a move with his right hand, and the pro-guards began to cover each other for retreat.
Wujie glanced at Hu Xiaosi, who was grimacing at him, and silently led his troops to retreat. Li Xuanqing and the others also returned to Shangjing with their personal guards.
"Lord, I don't think Usuke will give up, so I don't want to come back tonight to attack." Hu Xiaosi beckoned a few people to take Huan Jiu and the injured members of the guards down to recuperate, and walked into the big tent and said: "This person has a gloomy eye, and at first glance he is a narrow-minded person, and he will definitely find a way to get back to the field if he is pressed and beaten by us this time." ”
Chen Fan said with a smile: "Little Four, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, how did I find that your tactical level is a lot better, just a few glances at the other party and I know that they will come to sneak attack?" After a pause, he said to Li Xuanqing: "If there is no problem, I will arrange it." ”
After Chen Fan walked out, Hu Xiaosi saw Li Xuanqing stunned at the map, walked over and took a look: "Lord, why are you studying Wujie's defense map?" Any questions? This is the camp of the ordinary steppe troops. ”
"I'm not studying Usuke's tent defenses, but I'm trying to learn more about the Yakus. You go and inform Xiaohu, find a way to catch a tongue and come back, and let's ask about the matter over there in the Tooth Tent of the Yellows. Li Xuanqing shook his head and said.
"The lord means to summon the Lords when necessary?" Hu Xiaosi was a little shocked and said: "The reputation of the Huangjia in the grassland is not very good, if we defeat his main force in this battle, it is estimated that they will definitely not be able to suppress the vassal tribes below, even if the Uighurs and other western tribes do not trouble him at that time, the large and small tribes on the grassland in the northern desert will not be able to suppress the elite Huangjiasi people." ”
"You're thinking too much, I didn't plan to recruit the Legnes, I mean that when the time comes, I can try to force the Plague to move westward and explore the way for us to enter the Western Regions." Li Xuanqing was really speechless about this guy's associative ability, so he had to explain.
"This, it doesn't have to be so simple, after this battle, I asked the people of the Xuanyingwei Grassland Branch to arrange to find a way to sneak into the Tooth Tent of the Xuanying Guard, waiting for the opportunity to contact the other party's ministers and other high-level officials, and instigate them to enter the Western Regions." Hu Xiaosi said a little embarrassed.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Looks like we're going to have a fight with Tunos tonight. Let Xiaohu work harder. Li Xuanqing looked at the sky and smiled.
"My lord, let's drink and eat meat in the handsome tent tonight, and sit and wait for the people to come up. Anyway, with Chen Fan's character, he will definitely not give up if he doesn't take down all the people who are attacking. Hu Xiaosi asked the guards outside the big tent to serve food and wine, and Li Xuanqing waited for Chen Fan while eating.
Half an hour later, when it was about to get dark, Chen Fan came back, and when he saw Li Xuanqing and Hu Xiaosi waiting for him after setting up the wine and food, he immediately smiled and said, "Lord, are you really planning to sit firmly in the Chinese military tent?" ”
"Tell me how you set it up?" Hu Xiaosi poured Chen Fan a glass of wine and said with a smile.
"How else can it be arranged? I arranged a few fewer people at the gate of the city, and tried to lure them into the city, the heavy cavalry battalion ambushed inside the city, Hou Yong and Li San laid an ambush outside the city, and the grassland cavalry battalion cruised around the periphery to intercept the other party's rescue corps. Chen Fan replied solemnly.
"Yes, if you win, you can create so many layers of defense with just one ambush, I really convinced you." Hu Xiaosi cocked his thumb and smiled, "I told you, if Wujie doesn't come to see you tonight, he won't be laughed at by Hou Yong and them." ”
"I trust Commander Hu's intuition." Chen Fan choked Hu Xiaosi half to death with a word, picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with Li Xuanqing, and ignored this guy.
The three of them chatted while drinking, and this time also passed slowly bit by bit, and in the second half of the night, the entire Shangjing City was silent, and the troops who were not assigned to the task began to rest, and the patrolling troops began to perform the task very compactly according to the arrangement of their respective troops, and the entire military camp looked like there was no abnormality from the outside, but the handsome tent where Li Xuanqing and Chen Fan were located was brightly lit, and the three of them continued to eat and drink as if no one was around.
However, the quietness of Shangjing does not mean that the military camp of Huangjiasi, which is dozens of miles away, is quiet. During this time, the Flying Eagle Brigade, which was wandering in the grassland like a ghost, was also quietly ambushed outside the camp of the Giant under the summons of Su Xiaohu.
"Boss, Huang Jiasi is really ready to sneak attack, but it is not the men and horses of the headquarters that are dispatched, it should be the cavalry of the Ugu Department. Look at this posture, there are almost 30,000 or 40,000 people. Is this Usuke a broken head? What is the use of thirty or forty thousand? A member of the Flying Eagle Brigade beside Su Xiaohu muttered.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if he has 30,000 or 40,000 or 300,000, the lord will not let these people get away. It's good for Usuke to send these fish belly troops, just to deter the grassland tribes and let them know how powerful the Tiance army is. Su Xiaohu said indifferently: "Tell the brothers, as soon as these people leave the camp, we will do it immediately." ”
"Didn't Boss Hu let us sneak attack the back camp of Huangjiasi? Boss, we're in each other's camp right now. The team member who was talking to just now was a little inexplicable and said, "Boss, you don't plan to kill from the front camp to the back camp, do you?" ”
"Don't worry, they have hundreds of thousands of people, how many of us are there? I'm telling you, even if we walk by in the open, no one notices us. Su Xiaohu didn't bother to explain to the other party.
At this time, all the people and horses of the Wugu Department in the military camp of Huangjia Si came out of the camp under the order of Wujie and began to slowly move towards Shangjing, and they didn't know what they tied to the horses' hooves, even if the shock of thirty or forty thousand people was slow to go, it was impossible to be so small, if it weren't for Su Xiaohu and others to monitor it in real time, it was estimated that they might not be able to feel it.
"Okay, they're gone, it's our turn." Su Xiaohu watched this group of soldiers and horses go away from his side, and began to gather his own men to act, in the dark, this group of soldiers and horses with only more than a thousand people was like a group of ground rats drilling around the dark grassland land, and soon approached the gate of the camp.
The way the camp was set up was a little different from that of the eastern army, and there were no strict boundaries of the camp gates, but a large number of corner towers were erected on the edge of the main camp, and they used their condescending superiority to monitor everything around them. However, for the Flying Eagle Brigade, there are hardly any barracks that cannot be broken through. Su Xiaohu divided his men into three parts, entered the Huangjiasi military camp from three different directions, and went straight to the back camp to re-attack the captive cattle and sheep, all the way to find the alliance of the tribes such as Dilie, Tatar and Murowei, and he led a team of men and horses straight to the camp in the middle of the Huangjiasi headquarters.
Speaking of the hundreds of thousands of military camps that stretch for hundreds of miles, the route Su Xiaohu chose is already the shortest, but it is still extremely long, and one tent with gray and white is like a mushroom. This made Su Xiaohu and the others, who were scurrying around, complain, and almost wanted to find a random place to set a fire.
However, when Su Xiaohu was leading people to run around in the other party's military camp, the more than 30,000 people of the Wugu Department had already approached the city of Shangjing, and seeing the few patrols on the city tower walking back and forth, Sha Yasi, the leader of the Wugu Department, smiled coldly, and felt a trace of disdain for the Han people's preference to rely on the city to resist the impact of the grassland cavalry. After sending a few people to the edge of the city wall to inquire about the movement near the city gate, several ropes were quickly hooked to the gate of the capital city by the iron hook thrown in, Sha Yasi waved his hand, and hundreds of cavalry dragged the ropes in the opposite direction suddenly, relying on the drag of horses to pull out a city gate in an instant.
This time the movement was big, but Sha Yasi didn't care about this, as soon as the city gate was broken, there was no need to worry about the rest, and immediately rushed over and rode in through the destroyed city gate. Sha Yasi, who entered the city, went straight to the goal, because the only light in the city at this time was Li Xuanqing's handsome tent, and this light was unusually bright in the dark night, giving Sha Yasi the best guidance.
More than 30,000 people shouted and rushed into Shangjing, but they suffered the most fierce counterattack at the first time, Sha Yasi was suddenly blinded, the other party seemed to have expected that he would come to sneak attack, and there were soldiers and horses pouring out of many buildings in Shangjing City to intercept their troops and then start a fight. After the roads in the city were blocked, the impact of the cavalry could not be exerted at all, and the cavalry that had slowed down were slaughtered by the other side one after another.
"Retreat, retreat." Sha Yasi's voice spread far away in the open grassland, although the Tiance army at this time basically couldn't understand what he was saying, but all the troops involved in the ambush methodically executed the tactics that had been planned before, constantly using the roads and buildings in the city to intercept and kill these Wugu cavalry who broke into the city like headless flies on the spot. Tieliang's heavy cavalry battalion rose up, and many soldiers remounted their horses and began to countercharge, driving these people to the city gates.
Shayasi's order did not have much effect on the troops who penetrated into it, but it was very timely for the rear army, they had almost just entered the city, and it was very convenient to retreat, almost the moment the order came, they began to rush towards the city gate, rushing out of the city in a swarm.
But almost at the same time, a strange smoke rocket outside the city soared into the sky, radiating a multicolored light that brightened in the dark night.
This was the signal for the troops deployed outside the city to counterattack, and Wu Wenlong and Li San, who had received the order, pressed over from the north of the city, while in the south of the city were 10,000 horses from Hou Yong's cavalry corps. The unity of the two parties once again blocked Shayasi's back road. At this time, it would be strange if Sha Yasi didn't know that the other party had been waiting for him to take the bait, and in his eagerness, he hurriedly ordered the deputy general around him to find an opportunity to fight out of the encirclement and find the main force for help, while he took the rest of the men and horses to retreat from the city and came to the outside of the city with difficulty.
"Let's go, let's go to the city wall and see how many people Usuke will send tonight." Li Xuanqing saw that this group of men and horses was killed and retreated by Tieliang's heavy cavalry battalion, and took Chen Fan and others to the city wall. At this time, the soldiers of the Tiance Army outside the city held torches in their hands, surrounded everyone in the Wugu Department at the gate of the city, and the shouts of killing shook the four fields, and the cavalry troops attacked Sha Yasi's defense line one by one, disrupting all the defenses that Sha Yasi had temporarily organized, Wu Wenlong and Li San took advantage of the chaos to lead the infantry and horses into the opponent's formation, and cut Sha Yasi's men out little by little.
"Chen Fan, let Hou Yong immediately lead his men out of the battle circle and hand them over to the heavy cavalry battalion, and let him immediately lead the remaining men and horses to join Tahi's cavalry battalion and prepare to block Wujie's rescue corps." Li Xuanqing looked at the Wugu tribe that was defeated under the city, and immediately changed the order to let the heavy cavalry battalion in the city Phi Jian go out of the city to replace Hou Yong in the battle, and let Hou Yong and the remaining cavalry corps such as Toyota all attack to join the steppe cavalry battalion of Tashi to intercept Wujie's reinforcements.
"Do you want to inform the two wings of the men and horses to enter the battle here, our battle with the Centaurs is estimated to be advanced." Hu Xiaosi, who was beside Li Xuanqing, said with a solemn face.
"It's okay, you immediately inform Gao Siji and Xue Yang, from now on, don't care about the Chinese army, and each chooses an opportunity to start a war with the other party, there is only one principle, Wujie's headquarters will be handed over to the Central Corps, but the huge vassal army will all be handed over to them." Li Xuanqing said calmly.
At this time, Chen Fan had just finished conveying the order, and the Chinese army's personal guards began to launch smoke rockets to inform Hou Yong to lead the army and Tie Liang to hand over, and after hearing Li Xuanqing's words, he felt a sudden heat all over his body, and took a deep breath and said: "Lord, the battle of our Shangjing is now officially started." ”
"Don't worry, no matter how many people there are on the other side, we will definitely win this battle." Li Xuanqing pointed to the camp of the Qiangsi that was already moving in the distance, and then looked at Hou Yong, who had withdrawn from the battle circle outside the city and went to the direction of the opponent's camp, nodded and smiled.
"The Chinese army beat the drums of war and told all the soldiers that God bless the Tang Dynasty and the Han army is mighty." Li Xuanqing's voice suddenly high-pitched, revealing an indomitable momentum, the sound shook the sky, and spread far away to all the officers and soldiers of the Tiance Army.
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, the Han army is mighty." Li Xuanqing's voice was echoed by all the soldiers, and the battle under the city became more and more intense, and the Tiance army, whose morale was rapidly rising, completely suppressed Sha Yasi's last trace of resistance, and the 30,000 people of the Wugu Department were cut into countless small pieces and wiped out little by little. The invincible momentum of the heavy cavalry battalion reappeared on the battlefield at this moment, and countless Wugu cavalry were trampled by spears and horses outside the capital city.
"My lord, the other party's reinforcements have arrived." Chen Fan pointed to the fire dragon flying in the distance and took a deep breath.
