Chapter 58: A Traitor?
It is already very good to be able to equip 200 cavalry among more than 2,000 people, and there are all kinds of troops among more than 2,000 people, and Lu Chen has mainly honed and cooperated with these various arms in the past two days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the morning of the third day, Lu Chen found Li Xinran and asked for a copy of the information on the nearby terrain, as well as information on the recent movements of the Tubo army.
Most of the mountains in this area are not very high, and it is more appropriate to call them dirt slopes because the mountains here are low and very gentle. Seeing this kind of terrain, Lu Chen frowned slightly, this kind of terrain is very suitable for cavalry combat, but they only have two hundred cavalry, once they meet the opponent's cavalry team, they are likely to be completely defeated, and they must find a way to restrain the cavalry.
Lu Chen thought about the cavalry for a long time, and finally he called Long Yan and said, "You go to find dozens of people to go to the mountains to catch a few wolves and come back, remember to live!" ”
Long Yan asked suspiciously, "General, what's the use of catching wolves?" ”
saw Lu Chen smile mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes, now you just have to carry out the order!" ”
Although he didn't understand Lu Chen's intentions, Long Yan was still very serious and took dozens of people to the nearby mountains to catch six wild wolves, and they caught a total of eight, but in the process of capturing, they accidentally killed two of them.
Lu Chen looked at these six wild wolves, which were no bigger than dogs, and sighed in his heart: There were many wolves in this Tang Dynasty, and if in his previous life, it would be very troublesome for this national-level protected animal to catch a few.
After preparing these, Lu Chen once again took out the information collected by Li Xinran and studied it, and it can be seen from the information that in recent days, the remnants of the defeated soldiers in Tubo have begun to be active again, and there are still quite a few of them, and several of the surrounding villages have been attacked by them.
These cavalry of Tubo came out to loot and were also very careful, although they were divided into squads, but the distance between these squads was not very far, once they encountered the army of the Tang Dynasty, they were able to quickly assemble.
Recently, General Lin Yuan also sent some cavalry to exterminate these Tibetan cavalry, but the effect was very small. These people are very cunning, and once they find that the Tang cavalry is too large, they will immediately retreat. And if the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty only has a few dozen people, they will immediately gather and attack.
Perhaps it was for this reason that General Lin Yuan ordered the cavalry outside to be taken as a whole by 100 people to exterminate the cavalry of Tubo. However, there were not many cavalry on their side, and now they can't divide them too much, which makes those Tibetan cavalry still plunder.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Chen finally chose a direction. To the southwest of their barracks, there were many villages because of some small plains and fertile land suitable for growing grain, which led to the fact that these Tibetan cavalry would always use this place as a key plundering location.
This time was no exception, and of the more than thirty robberies that took place in total, nearly twenty took place here. Lu Chen paid his own silver taels and bought a lot of meat from the people in charge of the food in the military camp, and that evening, Lu Chen had all the meat he bought cooked.
Soon, a faint smell of meat came out of the cauldron, although it was not very fragrant, but for these soldiers who lived a hard life, it was not easy to eat meat, and no one would think that meat was not delicious.
Do you think this meat is too hard? If you don't eat it, bring it to me and eat it!
After dozens of cauldrons of meat were eaten, these people looked at Lu Chen's gaze more gently, after all, this was bought by Lu Chen for them with two pieces of silver, so that more than 2,000 people could eat meat, which cost a lot of money, if it wasn't for Lu Chen's rich family, the average general might be poor for this meal.
After eating, Lu Chen didn't waste any time, and after letting these people digest for a while, he directly asked them to gather, and then led two thousand people with Li Xinran straight out of the camp.
.....................................
As soon as Lu Chen and the others left the station, a soldier in Lin Yuan's barracks had already reported the news of Lu Chen's trip. After listening to the soldier's words, Lin Yuan waved his hand and asked him to retreat. Then he waved again, and this time everyone in the tent retreated, leaving only a few of the strategists sitting still. Anyone who knew Lin Yuan knew that once Lin Yuan had something to discuss with his advisers, he would make them retreat.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, I saw General Lin Yuan pick up a pen and write a paragraph on a blank piece of paper, and then handed it to a strategist, saying, "You go and hand over this letter to the people over there, and say that sit in and let them pay attention, there will be a team of about 2,000 people to exterminate them." However, the leaders of this team are all little guys from the capital, and they shouldn't be able to lead troops to fight, so it's best for them to capture the two alive! ”
When Lin Yuan finished speaking in a low voice, the strategist respectfully agreed, and immediately walked towards the outside of the military tent.
Looking at the departing strategist, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Jiang family, back then, you killed my whole family in order to monopolize Minzhou City, and you killed Lao Tzu incognito for decades, and now you can finally take revenge!" Clansmen, watch from the sky, I will definitely let the Jiang family destroy the clan and repay the blood feud of the year!! ”
.........................
At this moment, Lu Chen and the others had already left Lin Yuan's military camp and were advancing in the southwest direction. On the way, they passed through several villages, but before they could reach them, the people of the villages were so frightened that they had already fled into the mountains, apparently mistaking them for the Tibetan cavalry.
They marched southwest, and finally, after walking for about two days, they saw the looted village for the first time. The situation was very tragic, the whole village was full of ruins, and when they got closer, they found that the village had become a dead village, full of bones, these Tibetan cavalry did not leave any living mouths, and the whole village was full of corroded bones.
Seeing this scene, even the steady Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, this was simply a massacre, the scene was too tragic!
In his previous life, Lu Chen killed many people, but he never killed unarmed ordinary people, after all, he was still a loving and righteous person, not a ruthless executioner. Although there will be casualties in war, this kind of unilateral massacre, and the target of the slaughter is still this kind of innocent villagers, which made Lu Chen directly sentence the cavalry of Tubo to death in his heart. In the future, as long as you encounter these people, you will kill them!
