Chapter 5: The Turks Flee at Night
In the dense forest east of Broken Leaf City, the leader of Qarluq, Mou Ra Black Mountain, looked at the fire in the direction of Broken Leaf City, and was so anxious that he kept whipping the trunk of the birch tree with his horsewhip, beating the gray-white bark to the point of flesh.
"Damn the shift, it was so damn that it burned Lao Tzu's future tooth tent with one fire. When Lao Tzu catches and pulls that guy, he will be cut with a thousand knives! With a whip of the Black Mountain, he whipped a large piece of bark away, and the bark flew directly towards the bark of the tree that flew directly towards the one who was standing behind him.
The twenty-year-old Mou Ra Sihan was bowing his head and pondering, when he suddenly felt a "hidden weapon" flying in front of him, hurriedly dodged his head, brushed the ground and pulled out his scimitar and slashed at the "hidden weapon", but it was empty. I saw the gray "hidden weapon" rubbing past my ears and falling on the yellow leaves behind me.
"Stupid, you can't even hide a piece of bark, are you the son of so-and-so?" Seeing the embarrassment of his second son, he couldn't help but be furious, and the horsewhip whistled towards his son. Mou Ra Sihan didn't dare to dodge, and let the horse whip whip the cowhide armor on his body, making a muffled sound.
When Mou Ra Heishan was tired, Mou Ra Sihan whispered: "Father Khan, I am thinking that this fire may not have been removed. ”
"Why? Make it clear to a certain person, don't go around the bush, learn more from your eldest brother, and speak simply and directly. Mou Ra Black Mountain leaned against the birch tree that had been beaten by himself for a long time, panting slightly.
Although he complained a lot about his father taking that reckless brother as his example, he still had a calm face and hurriedly replied: "Father Khan, there are nearly 50,000 Turks in Broken Leaf City, and although most of the men can ride horses and draw bows, there are still nearly 30,000 women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. When you move and break through, you will definitely not bring these burdens, but you will not ruthlessly burn Broken Leaf City and let tens of thousands of your fellow clans die in the fire. To the west of Broken Leaf City were the Shatuo and the Quegas. The people of the Gang are thousands of miles apart from our territory, and their leader Li Kun is very arrogant and disdainful of conspiracy, so it should not be his fire. The Shatuo people have a feud with our clan, and there have been several bloody conflicts around the grasslands near Jinshan, and they are cunning and cunning, and they are likely to set fire to Broken Leaf City in the name of blocking the breakthrough of the Tuqi Shi people. Because he knew that his father Khan wanted to set up a tooth tent in Broken Leaf City after the war. ”
"There is some truth to this, that guy is really not a good thing." Mou Ra Montenegro touched his huge rosacea, "So what should I do now?" You kid has been thinking about it for a long time, and you must already have an idea. ”
"Father Khan, our army is now under the order of the commander to intercept the Turks here. If you leave your post without permission, you will be punished by the commander after the war, and the plan to set up a tooth tent in Shattered Leaf City will be even more difficult to realize. Now that the city is burning with fire, there will be chaos and empty troops in Broken Leaf City, and Father Khan can quickly divide 2,000 soldiers to capture Broken Leaf City in the name of fighting the fire, control the fire, and collect the rest of the turks in the city. At the same time, he sent someone to the front of the marshal army to explain the situation, only saying that the elbow and armpit had changed, and the situation was urgent, in order to keep the broken leaf city, our clan had sent some soldiers and horses to extinguish the fire and take the city, but the main force had not moved, and the commander would not be delayed. ”
"You can always come up with so many ways, and a certain person would have been eager to go to the city to fight the fire immediately, but because of his duties, he didn't dare to move lightly. Your plan is good, but who will the marshal send to say it? You know that our Qarluq people are hard enough to have knives and fat horses, but they are stupid, and they are not as good at fooling people as the Shatuo people. ”
"Father Khan, I am willing to state the situation in front of the marshal army, and strive to ensure that this Broken Leaf City will become the tooth tent of Father Khan after the war." Mou Rasihan half-knelt down and begged for his life.
"Okay, you're finally a little better at something than your eldest brother, you can go." Mou Ra Black Mountain laughed out loud and ordered the guards, "Quickly divide two thousand people to capture the Broken Leaf City and extinguish the fire." ”
Not far from the woods where the Qarluq people were hiding, two thousand Beiting Mo knife hands, under the leadership of the other general Li Dingbang, were wiping the Mo knife that was more than one person long, and the sharp blade reflected the moonlight, murderous. Not far from the Modao Battalion, three thousand crossbowmen were sitting on the ground, maintaining their strength. Once the battle has begun, the archer has to keep stretching his bow, which is an extremely physically demanding activity.
"Dashuai, Broken Leaf City is really burning." Du Liulang rode on the green horse that was sneezing boringly, and said lightly to Wang Zheng. Around him and Wang Zhengjian, there were dense light cavalry and heavy cavalry, except for Wang Zhengjian's personal guards, most of the cavalry sat on the ground to rest or tending to their mounts.
"Liulang, you are really exhaustive, you can see through people's hearts, and you know that Gu Duzhi will definitely be unable to help but shoot when he has the opportunity." Wang Zhengjian was very satisfied with his judge and said appreciatively.
"Dashuai, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why I have repeatedly won many battles, shocked Mobei, and whipped Lingxi, in addition to Xuanwu Huaide, is also good at using razing to control raze. Di Rong is not good at construction, loves to encroach on everything, and is already fighting with each other. My Datang took advantage of the situation, borrowed the water to sail, and used the strategy of killing three soldiers with two peaches, so that Di Rong attacked each other, suffered big injuries and small annihilations, no matter whether he won or lost, it was beneficial to the country. The western part of the city is far away from the center, and the Han people are still few, so it is difficult to set up counties, so it is only suitable for restraint. And Dijon's generation is like a detached grass, destroying the old and bringing out the new, which is difficult to eradicate. If it is allowed to develop, it will hurt one and gain one, and waste money and food, which will not help. It is necessary to lure them with profit, so that Dijon will fight against each other, and there will be no time for other care. After this battle, the vitality of the Tuqi Shi people was greatly damaged, and it was no longer a climate. The Qarluqs are in their prime, and they will want to take their place. If Dirong is big, the Central Plains is worried, and if the barbarians are strong, Huaxia is weak. Hui and Qarlu both have wolf ambitions and have to guard against them. If it is not contained, it will be a fierce enemy. The two sides attacked each other; Shatuo is in the east of Qarluq, and the two tribes have always been in dispute. Our army uses Broken Leaf City as bait, and uses the momentum of the war to add fuel to the fire, so that the snipe and the clam are fighting each other, and the marshal can mediate in the middle and reap the benefits of the fisherman. In this way, the North Court is safe, the Central Plains is safe, and the Huaxia is safe. ”
"Liulang has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and he is really the Du family's thousand-mile horse!" Wang Zheng saw his long beard in his hand, and couldn't help but admire, "A seat to raze the theory of razing and razing to break into the inside, to the point, is a good strategy for governing the border in China!" ”
"Don't dare to be a thousand miles of horses! The thousand-mile horse of my family should be the uncle of a certain family. Although he is a few years younger, he is well-versed in the past and the present, knows the power of change, is full of splendid articles, knows the way of the state and the world, and is the talent of the prime minister. A certain firefly does not dare to compete with the sun and the moon. And a certain performance, thanks to the trust of the marshal, I really dare not be greedy for the merit of the sky for myself. ”
"Rokuro is too humble!" Wang Zhengjian wanted to say something more. Suddenly, a personal guard came to report: "Marshal Qiqi, according to the scout's report, it has been found that nearly 20,000 Turkish cavalry are galloping in the direction of our army, and the target should be the Suqing Gorge in the east of the city. ”
"Nearly 20,000 people? Looks like I've staked all the cards! Orders were given to all armies, quickly reassembled, and according to the pre-battle deployment, they were ready to wait for the offensive order. With an order, the woods filled the woods with the sound of armour and weapons being arranged.
"As Rokuro expected, the main direction of attack of the Tuqi Shi people was indeed the Suqing Canyon in the east of Broken Leaf City. Yiba took out the fox's strength to evade the hunter, so he set up a suspicious array and attacked the east in the west. Instead of taking the flat Northwest Avenue, he went the opposite way, trying to turn south from the Suqing Gorge in the east of the city, detour to Yezhi City, and escape to Shiguo under the cover of the stretching Qianquan Snow Mountain. There are some ways to move and pull, but unfortunately it is only a rough surface, and the situation is under the control of our army. Wang Zhengjian said lightly, his words full of confidence.
