Chapter 24: Xuan Ce Black Mountain skillfully burns grain, and the Taoist Sect breaks the valley
The book was picked up last time, and with the orderly transmission of the military order, all the soldiers heard that the battle was about to begin, and they were all in high spirits, with high morale, and followed Li Daozong's steps with a murderous aura like a tiger and a wolf! This front vanguard, Wei Chi Zhanfei showed his true colors as a fierce general, and after a while, he waved his army directly to the outside of the Tuyuhun camp!
When the Tuyuhun soldiers saw the Tang army coming to kill, they immediately closed the gate of the village and hurriedly reported to the king of Tianzhu. With the urgent military situation, the generals of Tuyuhun have also hurried to the tent of the Heavenly Pillar King. At the time of the discussion, another small school reported in a hurry: "The rear team of the Tang Army, there are Mo knife men in front, crossbowmen in the back, and cavalry guards on both sides.
At this time, the Heavenly Pillar King was as calm as before, sitting in the middle of the handsome tent, silent! In stark contrast, it is these generals. I didn't expect this Tang army to dare to take the initiative, so they looked at each other, anxious like ants on a hot pot, and kept urging him to come up with an idea as soon as possible! And he still didn't move, but at this time, another small school came to report like a lightning speed: "Qiheyuan on the left and Xiangling Yuan on the right have Tang army arrays attacking, stone throwers, and countless crossbows in Fuyuan!" ”
The generals who didn't know the details were shocked; Where did the Tang army come from so many men and horses, this is a situation where they are going to be encircled and annihilated! In the face of such a crisis scene, Murong Lei Leopard's rough impatience was undoubtedly revealed: "In this case, we will open the door to fight!" There is a final general to take the lead first, see what kind of reputation this Tang army is making "The Tianzhu King raised his head and glanced at him who was like a fire, and he was still silent!
The calm and dignified Murong Lei De has always been a master who does not see rabbits and eagles, so after thinking about it, he said to the King of Tianzhu: "The last general suggested sending more spies to find out what was going on, so that the Tang army poured out. Before the enemy situation is named, order the archers to strictly guard the gate of the fortress and not fight for the time being! ”
Hearing this, the Tianzhu King, who has always been an old man, felt that his words were exactly what he wanted. After all, the enemy situation is not very clear at this moment, and it will not be that the Tang Army will not be able to support it; It should be the life-and-death decisive battle that Li Daozong, an old slippery head, is going to come after the detailed planning, which should wear down his sharpness! Thinking of this, he immediately sent an order: "The left and right roads, as well as the frontal defenders, are holding the gate of the wall, if the Tang army attacks, use arrows and crossbows to resist the enemy." Cao Jia, a special order school, sent spies to go out of the camp and quickly investigate the enemy's situation! After the generals received the order, they divided up and prepared to go......
But I saw that the front team of the Tang Army pressed the back team, neat and orderly, and the mighty and majestic arrived in front of the Tuyuhun formation. Wei Chi Zhanfei wanted to make a strong attack with the speed of cavalry, but he was instantly blocked by this arrow and crossbow, and he couldn't break through for the time being! Looking at the Tuyuhun soldiers who couldn't hold out, this captain Chi Zhanfei was also quite helpless, and there was nothing he could do for the time being. So, he ordered the soldiers to scold in front of the battle, up to the despicable and shameless of Fuyun Khan, down to the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Tianzhu King, all of them!
Li Daozong watched Wei Chi Zhanfei march and fight like this, and didn't say anything, just smiled faintly. According to the current time, this Wang Xuance should have already walked half the way, as long as he dragged this Tianzhu King here, the matter seemed to be half successful. Immediately, some of the soldiers were ordered to join the ranks of the scolding war.
After a while, I saw a small school report to report: "In the small gate of Tuyuhun Camp, there are dozens of spies who sneak out quietly. Hearing this report, Li Daozong immediately sent an order: "Kill half, let go half, and the living half must not be allowed to return to the camp before the sun sets, and closely monitor Tuyuhun's every move!" ”。 After receiving this general order, I saw a team of soldiers immediately under the leadership of a small general, according to the policy!
After a long period of scolding and fighting, one by one the soldiers with dry mouths scolded; Although it was like a deflated ball, he sat staggered in front of the formation, but he still scolded listlessly. Watching this scene, the generals of the Tang Army also wondered, what is the marshal singing; So, some generals who couldn't hold their breath asked tentatively: "Marshal, this has been scolded for almost two hours, this Tuyuhun just doesn't fight, how can this be good." Li Daozong smiled faintly again, and then ordered: "If the brothers are tired, let the brothers eat and drink, and be sure to eat and drink to their heart's content, and be ready for strength!" This remark made the generals speechless. The two armies are arrayed, and they are in front of each other's formations, so scattered, how can they ensure that nothing goes wrong! But complaining is complaining, but still obeying the order!
Return to the tent of the Heavenly Pillar King. Except for the fact that this lieutenant Chi Zhanfei was repelled by a strong attack by crossbow arrows, they did not get the slightest news that the Tang army would attack again. However, to their great surprise, none of the spies released have yet returned. The Heavenly Pillar King and the generals were not sure what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of Li Daozong for a while, although they felt a lot of abnormalities in their minds, they didn't dare to attack rashly, and let the Tang army abuse them wantonly!
Looking at the red wheel falling westward, soon the moon hit the east, the words are divided into two ends, and the book says twice. At this moment, this Wang Xuance led two thousand elite cavalry to wait this week, and after a difficult and rapid march, he had quietly entered the land of Black Mountain. Along the way, Wang Xuance had already ordered the soldiers to eat and drink to their heart's content, and when he came to the foot of Montenegro, he looked at these Tuyuhun soldiers who were cooking, and suddenly had mixed feelings. It's time for us all to go home! Because of Li Daozong's strict precautions against the spies, these Tuyuhun guards did not find them. Although some of the spies sent by the Heavenly Pillar King had already discovered their whereabouts, they were very anxious and at a loss in the face of the helplessness of not being able to return to the camp.
Looking at the majestic Black Mountain, vast and upright; Look at the endless Liangzhou Plain, under the background of the sunset, all this is more and more agitated and desolate, all this will end tonight, and history will be rewritten at this moment! Immediately ordered Zhou Zeng to lead 1,000 people for the right team, and personally led 1,000 people for the left team, to attack this Tugu Hun grain and grass supply place from both sides!
These sturdy war horses and sturdy black-armored knights, like visitors from the sky, caught the Tuyuhun guards who were cooking by surprise. In just one dive, these Tuyuhun guards had already suffered three out of ten casualties. But seeing that the sky was dark in this battle, the ghosts cried and the wolves howled, which not only saw blood, but also made people's scalps tingle. This battle also made Wang Xuance, Zhou Zeng and others vividly and thoroughly display their wolf nature. Seeing that there was no hope, some of the Tuyuhun guards scattered and fled, some came to the camp of the Tianzhu King, and some were captured! In just half an hour, they had already occupied this land where the grain was stored. Since then, gold, silver, jade silk, grain and forage have all fallen into the hands of Wang Xuance. With an order, the soldiers who were ready to ignite the fire, put the torches into the granary, and after a while, white smoke rose everywhere, the wind borrowed the fire, the fire helped the wind, and the raging fire instantly illuminated the entire battlefield! The sunset reflects the firelight, the firelight is accompanied by the sunset, the mountains are like the sea, the remnant sun is like blood, and the sound of broken horses' hooves and cheers resounded in the sky!
Coming back to the main force of the Tang Army led by Li Daozong, the soldiers have already eaten and drunk enough to light the torches, just waiting for Li Daozong's order to be ready to go to war at any time. With Li Daozong's deliberate insertion before, I saw that at this time, Tuyuhun's handsome tent had also been illuminated by the lights, and several spies with injuries were kneeling on the ground to report everything to the Tianzhu King. When they heard that the Tang army had thousands of elite horsemen and rushed towards the direction of Black Mountain, the Tianzhu King and the generals were instantly stunned. Only then did he understand that this was Li Daozong's plan to dig into his heart. He personally led his army to call for battle in front of the battle, in order to hold himself back; And this killer weapon is the elite cavalry who attacked the land of food and grass supply in Montenegro! Immediately, he ordered Murong Red to personally lead the soldiers to support Montenegro, only praying that before they arrived, the Montenegrin guards could withstand the blow of the Tang army!
But at this time, I heard a noisy sound outside the camp tent, and suddenly a small school entered the account to report: "The northwest is blazing"!
Hearing this, all the generals hurriedly came out of the tent with the Tianzhu King. At this sight, the shocked crowd was dumbfounded and looked at each other; This land of Montenegro is the capital they hold onto, but in this way, it must be precarious, everything is over! Seeing this scene, the Heavenly Pillar King urgently ordered Murong Red to rush to reinforcements. But when Murong Red was about to attack with his soldiers, he saw some wounded Black Mountain guards coming to the camp out of breath, and one of them hurriedly said: "Tang Army...... Tang Jun...... Sneak attack on Montenegro, Montenegro...... Loss of ...... of grain storage Shou "fainted after saying that! He was so tired......
Hearing the report of the Black Mountain guards, the King of Tianzhu knew that the general trend was gone. At this moment, we can only take advantage of the fact that there is still a little food in stock and take the opportunity to break through, otherwise we will be trapped alive by the Tang army. Therefore, I ordered everyone to be ready to fight to the death with the Tang army, but not to fall in love with the battle, and wait for the breakthrough to open and retreat in the direction of Qilian Mountain!
But it seems to be too late. When Murong Lei Leopard brandished this war knife and rushed out of the camp, Wei Chi Zhanfei had already recuperated for a long time. I thought: I've been fucking waiting all afternoon, and finally such a person has come out! In this way, the two of them didn't say a word, and took advantage of the light of the night and the torches to crackle and go into battle. As soon as Li Daozong saw that Tuyuhun took the initiative to attack, and then looked at the heavenly flames in the northwest, he had already expected that Wang Xuance had succeeded, and immediately gave an order: "Attack on all fronts and encircle all the departments of the Tianzhu King!" ”
It didn't take long for him to see this captain Chi Zhanfei raise his knife and fall with his hand, and he beheaded Murong Lei Leopard under his horse. In this way, Tuyuhun is a generation of fierce generals, and his soul returns to his hometown! War is about morale, when two armies are facing each other; As long as you get off to a good start, it's as smooth as chopping melons and vegetables. Seeing that Murong Red was beheaded by Wei Chi Zhanfei under the horse, the morale of the originally high Tang Army was greatly boosted again. And the Tuyuhun soldiers, watching the fall of a generation of fierce generals, coupled with the fact that they were breaking through in a hurry, suddenly lost their confidence and fled west one by one in fear!
When King Tianzhu and Murong Lei De heard that Murong Lei Leopard had been beheaded under their horses, they were shocked! Murong Leide was furious, and was about to swing his sword and get on the horse to avenge his brother, but the Tianzhu King immediately stopped him: "At this moment, the morale of the Tang army is high, let's retreat to Qilian Mountain first and then plan for the future." In this way, he ordered his soldiers to carry the angry Murong Red and retreat to Qilian Mountain.
From daytime confrontation to sunset, and from sunset to ten minutes of dawn; After this battle, the Tang army captured countless cattle, sheep and horses, killed 40,000 soldiers and cavalry, and ended up with a Tianzhu king with less than 10,000 remnants of the defeated general fled back to Qilian Mountain. And the Tang army only suffered more than 10,000 casualties!
The early winter morning seemed a little cold, and the dawn sun gradually rose from the eastern plains, blood red and blood red. But seeing that this Xiangling Plain and the Seven Rivers Plain have long been stained red with blood; The fallen war horses and the dead soldiers make people feel the cruelty of war. Life was gone overnight, no matter the Tang Army or the soldiers of Tuyuhun, they are all heroes, for the country, for the nation, for the people to live a better life! In the face of foreign enemies, go all out, just to keep that promise in your heart!
And Wang Xuance looked at this scene, and really felt the true meaning of Li Daozong's theory of life and death, life and death are between a thought, as a general, it is born for the country, and it is the duty to protect the family and defend the country. This period of Tang army minimized the casualties, these deceased soldiers are all warriors of the Tang Dynasty, they are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of death, they shed their blood for the country, they fight for justice, they fight for reason, and they die with supreme glory. On the other hand, many dead and wounded Tuyuhun soldiers, they did not hesitate to start a war for the greed of the country, not so much to fight for the country, but to fight for the monarch! Justice and injustice, aggression and counter-aggression, which can be resolved peacefully, and resolutely do not start a war, are deeply engraved in Wang Xuance's mind! Because, the war is too cruel!
The story goes back to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, at this time Chang'an City has a deep chill, and the trees have long been stripped of their leaves; The earth was also covered with a layer of hoarfrost with dense water vapor, and it was as white as snow. The majestic Daxing Palace is still majestic, but seeing that in this Hongwen Museum, a small yellow door keeps fiddling with this charcoal fire, just asking it to burn more vigorously and warmer!
Li Shimin is still dealing with this government affairs next to the royal case of mahogany and pear, he has become accustomed to getting up early over the years, and Wei Zheng often accompanies him. Hearing that King Ren Cheng defeated Tuguhun in Liangzhou City, the two monarchs and ministers were also very pleased. However, the cruel situation of Li Daozong's report on the war situation made Li Shimin, who fought in the south and the north, vividly remember; Although he already had the idea of flattening Tuguhun in one fell swoop, he looked at such an intense scene; In order to avoid the loss of life, there is a plan for a truce!
At this time, Wei Zheng also understood Li Shimin's intentions; Then it played: "The minister heard that since he succeeded to the throne for 39 years, Fuyun Khan has waged wars again and again, not only annexing the countries of the Western Regions, but also treacherously committing against our Tang Dynasty more times. If Your Majesty gives up the idea of continuing the attack because of the tragedy of the war, it should not be! ”
"What does Xuan Cheng mean by this, the soldiers on both sides are living beings, if the war resumes, how many families will be shattered. I really can't bear it! ”
Hearing Li Shimin's fraternity, Wei Zheng continued: "Since ancient times, they have raised the banner of righteousness, walked the royal way, and punished the unjust. This Fuyun Khan is very unreasonable, and should be killed. If His Majesty gives up this great opportunity, and waits for Fu Yun'er to recover, it will be a non-stop killing. When the time comes, not only will it be Tuguhun but it will also bring my Datang back into the endless war, my wife will be separated, and the people will not be able to make a living! Instead of letting the tragedy happen again, why not calm this Tuguhun in one fell swoop, so that the West is stable, the Hexi Corridor is gradually opened, and the people can also breathe. Although there were many casualties at this time, it was more advantageous than the heavy casualties in the future! In addition, with this move, we can deter the countries of the Western Regions, so that they dare not underestimate our Tang Dynasty, and even reduce the killing, Your Majesty!
Hearing Wei Zheng's advice, Li Shimin woke up like a dream, only by stopping the war with war is a complete strategy, and can the people of Li live and work in peace and contentment!
Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately issued an edict: Li Jing, the right servant of the Duke of Weiguo and the chief of the Xihai Road march, as the marshal, with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department as the king of the city and Li Daozong, the head of the Shanshan Road march, as the deputy marshal, the commander of the military department Shangshu Lu Guogong, the head of the Jishi Road march Hou Junji, the governor of Liangzhou Wuyang County, and the head of the march of the last road Li Daliang, the governor of Minzhou Yixing County and the head of the Chishui Road march, Li Daoyan, the head of the Lizhou Thorn History and the Yanze Road march Gao Yongsheng and the Turkic army of the Tang Dynasty and other six route armies attacked Tuyuhun!
It is said that the King of Tianzhu and Tugu Hun Fuyun Khan faced the Tang army that poured all their strength into the army, and they were defeated again, and they had no choice but to retreat to Zhangshan, and this place was thousands of miles away from the Tang army! The generals of the Tang Army, looking at the remnants of Tuyuhun who were far away, were also divided into two factions: one faction insisted on pursuing and completely wiped out Tuyuhun; The other faction insisted that it was located in a remote area and was not suitable for another expedition.
Wang Xuance encouraged the soldiers through His Majesty's vision, coupled with what he had done and seen during this time, he had deeply understood His Majesty's long-term idea of the peace of the world, so he also advocated a resolute pursuit! Only by taking advantage of this victory can we completely pacify Tuyuhun and solve the border issue once and for all. Not only for the people, but also for thousands of living beings in the world! So, said to Li Daozong, he never thought that the two would coincide again!
Therefore, at the military meeting of the generals, Li Daozong set up the main pursuit; Although Li Jing, a famous general of the first generation, knew the cruelty of the war, he understood His Majesty's intentions better, so he insisted on doing so. In the face of the two bosses being so firm, it is difficult for the generals to oppose it again! After the arrangements were made, Li Daozong led his troops to march for ten days and caught up with the Tugu Hun Tianzhu Wang's troops at Kushan (now southeast of Qinghai Lake).
A big war is coming...... What kind of test will lie ahead of you......
