Chapter 41: Take it when you see it
There were corpses everywhere on the river beach, human corpses, horse corpses, and banners fell to the ground, and the entire river beach was dyed red, Zhao Ziliang sat on horseback and watched the chaotic Tuqi army on the other side of the river.
On the other side, the commander of the Turgish army, the rat Nishi half of the Luo Si, walked around the river angrily, scolding as he went: "I'm angry, I'm angry!" Before arriving at Tuoyun Fort, they lost 1,500 horsemen on the bank of the Pearl River, how did the rangers investigate, the Tang Army's hundreds of horsemen were hidden in the woods, they didn't find it, what is the use of these rangers, come here, drag those people down and cut them down! ”
"No!"
Several Rangers were dragged down by shouting and screaming, and after a while they came to an abrupt end!
After killing those rangers, the evil anger in Luo Si's heart disappeared a little, and the leader of the Geshu tribe next to him said, "Who is this Tang Army general?" Came up with the idea of a surprise attack while we were crossing the river! He has only 300 troops in his hands, and he has the courage to raid my 5,000 men, this person should not be underestimated! ”
"Wait until I ask him!"
Halfway through, Luo Si turned to face the Zhenzhu River, and shouted to Zhao Ziliang, who was riding on horseback on the other side, "Who is leading the army on the other side?" Do you dare to report your name? ”
"I am the deputy castle master of Tuoyun Castle, and Zhao Ziliang, the team leader! Isn't it ridiculous that you are just a group of lambs slaughtered by me, and you want to beat my idea of Tuoyun Castle, and you also want to enter the territory of my Datang to plunder? ”
"What?"
Hearing Zhao Ziliang's reply, the leaders and generals of the Tuqi Shi on the north bank were suddenly angry, and they all shouted.
One of them cried out, "Abominable, abominable!" How dare a small team be so rampant, sip in half a place, let me lead the soldiers and horses to cross over and kill him! ”
"Bastard, come back to me!" Luo scolded halfway, and said: "How they dealt with our river-crossing army just now, didn't you see?" They're there right there, and if you cross the river now, you'll be treated as a target by them!" Someone, pass on my military orders, cut wood around and build a large raft, and prepare for the crossing of the river! ”
"No!"
Zhao Ziliang saw that the other party sent a large group of men and horses to the nearby woods, and guessed that if the other party built a raft to prepare to forcibly cross the river, this section of the Pearl River is not wide, but there are a little more two arrows, and the other party has more people and horses, if a large raft is built, the raft is fixed in the river with wooden stakes, and the people and horses are standing on the raft and releasing arrows to this side, he has few soldiers on this side, and he will definitely not be able to beat it.
"Order, clean up the battlefield!" After Zhao Ziliang made up his mind, he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and turned away.
"No!" Wei Meng and Huo Kan agreed, and immediately arranged for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Panzhu Junxiu caught up with Zhao Ziliang and asked, "Hey, why did you leave?" If we are blocked by the river, they can't cross the river, so why go? ”
Zhao Ziliang galloped to the hill, dismounted and sat down, and said: "Although they suffered heavy casualties in this battle, I think they only lost 1,500 men and horses at most, and it is far from the point of breaking their muscles and bones, we are far from the point of breaking their muscles, there is a huge difference between our strength and them, they have a way to cross the river, we can't stop it, and after cleaning up the battlefield, we will immediately withdraw to Tuoyun Fort!" ”
When Panzhu Junxiu heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said with a cunning look: "Then why don't we find another place to set up an ambush, and then attack them in an ambush, so that along the way, set up an ambush a few more times, so that they will be killed and injured before they reach Tuoyun Fort, hehehe!" ”
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, this girl would be so simple, it's really ······ He said angrily: "Do you really think they are stupid?" If someone suffers a loss and is fooled once, will they be stupid and defenseless? Okay, our results in this battle are good, with less than 300 troops to break the enemy's army, kill 1,500, it's enough! ”
It took nearly half an hour, after cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Ziliang immediately returned to Tuoyun Fort with more than 200 people including Panzhu Junxiu, and in this battle, they killed 1,500 Tuqi Shi at a small cost of dozens of people, which can be said to be a big profit, and captured a lot of weapons and armor. In addition, Zhao Ziliang's finger space has also increased by more than 1,500 cubic meters, and the total space capacity has reached 2,500 cubic meters.
Zhao Ziliang put all the seized into the space, and the team went back very quickly, and it only took half a day to return to Qingshui Lake from the bank of the Pearl River.
After arriving at Qingshui Lake, Zhao Ziliang asked Wei Meng and Huo Kan to take the rest of the horses to the dug cave to join He Zhong, and he went to Tuoyun Fort to report the details to Xi Yunqing, and Panzhu Junxiu also followed.
At nightfall, Xi Yunqing had just finished inspecting the city defense and was preparing for dinner, when he heard that Jia Chongjun, the guard on duty, had sent someone to report that Zhao Ziliang and Panzhu Junxiu had returned, and he immediately asked people to invite them in.
"Ziliang, Ziliang, you are back, I can't eat or sleep for the past two days, I'm just worried about you! It's okay, it's okay! Xi Yunqing came out of the main hall.
Zhao Ziliang saw that Xi Yunqing did not ask about the battle situation first, but first asked about his safety, and his heart was extremely moved, and he bowed and said: "Thank you for the castle lord's concern, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, at noon today I ambushed the men and horses of the Tuqi Shi on the bank of the Zhenzhu River, killing more than 1,500 people!" ”
"What? Ok, good, good! Hahaha······"
Xi Yunqing laughed, overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Doesn't that mean that half of the Tuqi Shi died before he arrived at my Tuoyun Fort City?" Hahaha, great, Ziliang, you are really brave! They only have 1,500 people now, and the barbarians are not good at attacking the city, and they want to use 1,500 people to capture my Tuoyun Castle, they don't have such good teeth, hum! ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Castle master, don't be careless, according to our investigation, the Tucai army that came this time is not only 3,000 people, but 5,000, that is to say, they still have 3,500 men and horses, which is still ten times that of me!" The Pearl River is only two hundred miles away from Tuoyun Fort, and with the marching speed of the Turgish, if it is fast, it can be reached by the morning after tomorrow at the latest! In my opinion, for the sake of today's plan, I can only send someone to report the situation to General Fumeng of Shule Town overnight, and ask the general to send reinforcements over quickly! ”
"What? And three and a half thousand? This is really troublesome, with the strength of our Tuoyun Fort, I am afraid that we will not be able to withstand the attack of so many soldiers and horses, you are right, since it has been confirmed that the Tuqi army is coming, then you can report to General Fumeng! ”
At this time, the Turgish army had already crossed the Pearl River and was marching rapidly towards Toyun Fort, and after the attack in the morning, the Turgish were much more careful when marching, and asked the scouts to go twenty miles ahead to investigate the situation along the way.
The leader of the Geshu tribe rode over to catch up with half of Luo, and asked, "Luo Si, the night march is extremely easy to be attacked, I think it is better to let the sons and daughters stop and rest, and wait until dawn before hurrying?" ”
Banchu Luo said: "No, there is not much time left for us, we must capture Tuoyun Fort as quickly as possible, and take Tuoyun Fort before Shule Town notices, then we can enter the land of Anxi to plunder, the land of Anxi is vast, it is difficult for the Tang army to find us for a decisive battle, after we plunder, we can withdraw from the north!" ”
The leader of the Geshu tribe said: "I understand Luo Si's plan, but since the Tang army ambushed us and others in the Zhenzhu River during the day, it means that the Tang army already knows our purpose, and Shule Town is only afraid that it will learn the news soon, and then send reinforcements to reinforce Tuoyun Fort!" ”
"Hahaha, Ge Shuchang, do you know, it's not only the Khan and Dumoduna old things who have fine work in Shule Town, our Rat Nishi tribe also has fine work in Shule Town, I have ordered them to send people to ambush on the halfway road between Tuoyun Fort and Shule Town, as long as they find that there is a messenger from Toyun Fort to Shule Town, they will be intercepted immediately, as long as we are given three days, I am confident that I will take Toyun Fort! Hahaha".
