Chapter 338: Meeting at Night
Yang Guang was originally because Yu Juluo recommended two newly recruited hussar battalion warriors to him, and casually asked their names, but he was unexpectedly startled by the names reported by these two people, and looked at the two intently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The self-proclaimed name is Luo Yi, about seventeen or eighteen years old, white-faced and bearded, handsome, and quite similar to Luo Cheng, the seventh good man of the Sui and Tang dynasties described in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Yang Guang thought to himself: I clearly remember that before I crossed over, I watched "Exploring History", and there was an article that said that there was no one else in Luo Cheng's history, he was a character in novels and romances, and this person reported his name as Luo Yi, isn't this the name of Luo Cheng's father? Could it be that the son is a character in the romance, but the father is really a person in history?
The one standing side by side with Luo Yi, two years older than Luo Yi, was born black, thin and short, and his appearance was not amazing, only when he occasionally looked up, he found that his eyes were shining, which was different from ordinary people. This person is actually the same name and surname as Shu Guogong Liu Yi, which can be regarded as a miracle.
Yu Juluo saw Yang Guang's eyes staring directly at the two warriors behind him, so he introduced to him in detail: "Lord Wang, if these two people are the strongest of the nearly two hundred people who have joined the hussar camp this time, Luo Yi's archery skills are outstanding, and Liu Fang's body is agile, they are the two teams selected by Lao Er, and they will go out with Lao Er this morning. ”
Yang Guang's eyes were still fixed on Luo Yi and Liu Fang, but he asked Yu Juluo: "I have ordered the Duke of Qi An to lead the army out of the pass tonight and attack Baidao Prefecture, are you willing to lead the 200 warriors newly recruited by the hussar battalion to serve as army scouts, take the first step, and explore the road?" ”
"The old man is willing to go." Yujura stepped forward and replied.
"Outside the tent, there is Zhao Cai, a warrior who is serving in front of the king's tent today, with strong martial arts and the ambition to kill Hu, so I ordered him to go out with you." Yang Guang intended to test Zhao Cai's sincerity in serving the imperial court, so he ordered Yu Juluo to take him with him.
At nearly two o'clock that night, Li Che led 20,000 horses and horses through the city from Yanmen Pass, and rushed straight to Baidaozhou, a hundred miles away, and the Great Sui army launched its first counterattack against the Turks in Hebei.
With Yang Guang's permission, Yujuluo led the 200 Hebei warriors who had newly joined the hussar camp to go out of the customs first, serving as the vanguard of the 20,000 army, responsible for finding out the enemy's situation and opening up the road for the march of the army.
At that time, although due to the frequent wars, resulting in a shortage of horses, 200 Hebei warriors all went out on foot, but these 200 people were one in a thousand, and the brave men who were personally selected by peerless masters such as Yujuluo to fill the hussar camp were lined up in two teams under the leadership of Luo Yi and Liu Fang, and the speed of the march was no less than that of the cavalry. Zhao Caishi showed what he had learned in his life, but he could only keep it from falling behind, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart: I didn't expect King Jin to have such a strong guard army by his side.
Two hundred people went out of Yanmen Pass, marched forty or fifty miles, and Liu Fang, who was at the forefront of the team, suddenly reported in a deep voice to Yujuluo, who was not far behind: "General, there is a fire ahead!" ”
"The whole team stops." Yu Juluo immediately ordered the whole team to stop, and looked forward in the direction indicated by Liu Fang, and sure enough, he vaguely saw a flickering fire at least four or five miles ahead, which seemed to be the light from the torches in the hands of a marching army.
Seeing that the long line of firelight in front of him was coming from far and near to the south, Yu Juluo couldn't help but curse hatefully: "His grandmother's, this must be the Turks who have come to attack our Yanmen again at night." Brethren, copy the fellows, and prepare for battle. ”
Most of the 200 Hebei warriors who had recently joined the hussar camp had been bullied by the Turks, and they hated the Turks to the core.
On the opposite side was the 3,000 Turkic army led by the Turkic prince Yongyu Lu himself. When the Turkic Kehe Dunyuwen Prajna learned that his husband Shabalu Khan led the main Turkic force south to invade the Sui Dynasty, he immediately ordered Yongyu Lu to launch a strong attack on the Sui army in Hebei to cooperate with the war in the northwest and contain the main army used by the Sui Dynasty to resist and prevent the Turkic invasion in Hebei.
Because he heard that Yang Guang had issued two recruitment orders in succession, and the news that Ding Zhuang was recruited into the army by the people of the nineteen state capitals under the rule of Hebei Province, in view of the disadvantage in the number of Turkic troops left behind in Baidaozhou, in order to enhance the attack on Yanmen Pass, and unexpectedly dealt a heavy blow to the Sui army in Hebei, Yuwen Panruo deliberately handed over the two siege heavy weapons that he had secretly built - the fire oil punch car and the improved heavy stone machine to Yongyu Lu before leaving Baidaozhou to go west and meeting with Sha Boluo, asking him to take the way of retreating day and night. Make full use of the powerful siege power of siege heavy weapons to carry out many attacks on Yanmen Pass.
After the first time on Chinese New Year's Eve used siege weapons to severely damage the Sui army guarding Yanmen Pass, Yong Yulu took the initiative to lead the army to retreat before dawn according to the prior requirements of Ke Hedun, so as to avoid being discovered by the Sui army defending the city of insufficient siege forces.
Tonight, Yong Yulu wanted to use the wheel warfare method, in addition to carrying dozens of heavy stone machines, left 2,000 men and horses to camp at a distance of 60 miles from Yanmen Pass in the north, and took a short rest, and he led more than 2,000 cavalry troops to escort hundreds of specially trained sergeants who could skillfully operate heavy stone machines to go south again at night and attack Yanmen Pass at night.
The horses were at the forefront, and it was Yongyu Lu's guards -- the 500 Wolf Tooth Cavalry -- who served as the vanguard of the whole army.
This supposedly the most elite Turkic iron cavalry never dreamed that they would meet the Sui army scout detachment led by Yujuluo in the middle of the road tonight, nor would they have imagined that compared to when they met at Lingshi Fort more than two months ago, their fate would be surprisingly reversed tonight.
Although the newly recruited 200 Hebei warriors have not yet been trained in formation and cannot form a phalanx to fight against the enemy, their ability to fight individually is superb, far from being comparable to the hussar battalion in the past.
The two hundred Hebei warriors quietly approached the wolf's tooth under the cover of night, and under the order of Yu Juluo, they jumped out of the side of the road and killed the Turkic cavalry like a tiger descending from the mountain: the light flat ground jumped high, and launched a surprise attack directly on the Turkic knights on horseback with the weapons in their hands; The able-bodied ones picked up their weapons and swept the Turks off the legs of their horses; There are even more skilled people like Luo Yi and Liu Fang, who attacked multiple Turkic iron horsemen at the same time with the power of one person.
When Yong Yulu, who rode his horse behind the "Wolf Tooth Five Hundred Cavalry" team, reacted that he encountered an ambush by the Sui army halfway, the "Wolf Tooth Five Hundred Cavalry" formation that was originally marching in front of him had been completely dispersed, and as many as dozens of horsemen had been killed or injured in the Sui army's sneak attack.
