Chapter 43 He has made a hundred years of meritorious service
Although Li Yanrao is not a famous general, he is both wise and brave, and he is well-behaved, but he is worthy of the title of a good general. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Since he learned that the Khitan vanguard was coming, Li Yanrao no longer let the generals talk about the situation, and immediately showed the bearing that the main general should have, and arranged the battle arrangements one by one.
Because Xu Jing's troops reported the Khitan army's movements in time, Li Yanrao was able to deal with it first, but counting his footsteps, it was not far from Wanmapo, and the other party did not have enough time for Li Yanrao, but fortunately, Lu Longjun was well-trained, and there were no indiscriminate people in the school, and there were not many 3,000 soldiers, after the military order was issued, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and it was not prepared to be completed beyond the time limit.
The words are divided into two ends, and it is said that the Khitan commander led the Khitan vanguard to take advantage of the night, and it was indeed a surprise to attack the Tang army camp at night and defeat it in one fell swoop. Li Congjing knows the danger of Wanmapo, as a native of the Khitan, the commander of Wanfu naturally knows a thing or two, the vanguard of the Tang army retreated to Wanmapo, it is not difficult to guess what the idea is, the commander of Wanma is not a fool, how can he not know the importance of fighting for this place.
Moreover, hundreds of soldiers and horses were lost during the day, which was a bad breath, and the commander couldn't swallow it, and at the same time, he also knew that the capture of hundreds of people was not small for the three thousand Tang Army, and the other party was likely to be proud of his achievements and neglect his precautions at night, so that he had the opportunity to sneak attack.
However, Commander Wan didn't dare to be careless, he made up his mind and seized the opportunity when he had the opportunity, but if the Tang army was well guarded, he would not force it, after all, he had the advantage of troops, and there would be a chance tomorrow. Although the former is easy to succeed and easy to make a lot of credit, it is important to be cautious in marching and fighting, and Commander Wan knows that the Tang army is cunning and must not be taken lightly.
Seeing that Wanmapo was imminent, the lights of the Tang Army's camp could be seen, and Captain Wan's unsteady heart gradually settled down.
On the way, they have found several Tang army sentry posts, not many, but also a lot, within a reasonable range, it seems that the Tang army did not neglect to guard, but also did not strengthen the guard, this is a good situation, everything as usual in the Tang army means that they can do it by surprise.
There were several condor archers in the army of the commander, which was specially sent to him by Yelu Enemy, and they were used to solve the Tang army sentry on the road, and the commander was able to lead the army to quickly touch the slope of Wanma.
Stopping not far in front of the Tang military camp, Captain Wan first sent several waves of spies to secretly check the situation of the Tang army camp, and by the way solved the Tang army sentry on the road.
Seeing that the moon passed in the middle of the sky, it was close to Yin, and I went to check the sentry report of the Tang Army camp, the fortification of the Tang Army camp was very normal, slightly tight, whether it was the gate or the arrow tower, you could see the figure of the Tang Army on duty at night.
The commander was so determined that he immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for an attack on the camp.
If the Tang Army's defense is not tight, he can't say that he will hesitate, for fear that it is the Tang Army's plan to lure the enemy into depth, but since the Tang Army's defense is normal and slightly tight, Captain Wan will be relieved - he has 10,000 people, and even if the other party is well guarded, it is only 3,000 people, and under the sudden attack, where can the other party resist?
The laxity of the Tang Army that the commander saw before, was the laxity of the Tang Army's generals and colonels, and it was a state in which there were no other superfluous ideas and arrangements, and they should eat, eat, sleep, and sleep, rather than the soldiers all holding the wine jar and shouting, and even the night was deserted - it is rare to be lax to this extent.
Since the Tang army was defenseless and did not deliberately show flaws, Commander Wan did not hesitate and ordered the whole army to attack.
Immediately, the sergeants mounted their horses and slowly drew their sabers.
When the advance team finished solving the sentry posts at the gate and corner tower of the Tang army, the Khitan brigade had already taken advantage of the night to cover not far in front of the camp.
It's like thunder.
The night was shattered.
The Khitan army, which poured into the Tang army camp like a tide, rushed in the front one by one, trying to reach the deepest part of the camp in one breath, not giving the Tang army a chance to react and gather soldiers, and the rear army rushed into the camp tents one by one and pounced on the Tang army bunks in the camp tents.
Seeing the "Tang Army", the Khitan sergeant didn't say a word, and killed with a knife. The "Tang Army" in front of him should also be ignorant, and before he could react, he let the Khitan sergeant cut him to the ground. All of a sudden, the Khitan army was attacking fiercely and no one could stop it.
The camp of 3,000 men was not large, and it was only a matter of a moment to go deep into it.
But gradually, some of the Khitan sergeants were clever, and they realized that something was wrong.
First of all, the Khitan sergeants rushed into the camp for a while, killing a lot of "Tang troops", but they did not hear the Tang troops in the camp ring the alarm, nor did they see any Tang troops rushing out of the camp tent to meet the enemy.
Secondly, those "Tang Army" who were killed by them either sat on the ground and "dozed", or leaned on the pillar to "nap", and they were cut by them, and they fell to the ground without shouting.
All the "Tang Army" has neither moved nor called!
Although there were wine jars everywhere on the ground, Tang Jun looked like he was drunk and unconscious during the celebration tonight, but it was too outrageous that no one had risen up to resist for so long.
This is not only intriguing, but also terrifying!
"Commander Wan, something is wrong, there are too few Tang Army!"
Suddenly, a Khitan commander ran to the commander in a panic and shouted anxiously.
"Ahh Hoo Nasul, how are you?! ”
At the same time, in another camp tent, a Khitan sergeant who had just hacked to death a "Tang Army" suddenly found that he recognized the "Tang Army" as a guy who failed to come back after going out with the commander during the day......
"Captain Wan, the 'Tang Army' in this tent is dead!"
Another centurion stumbled up to the captain and shouted.
"That's our people, the ones who didn't come back from the daytime......"
"Captain! I didn't see a single Tang army who took the initiative to attack! ”
"Captain! Rear battalion, no ...... There is not a single Don Army! ”
"Captain ......"
Captain Wan's face changed again and again, and he was like a landslide, hearing this, he could no longer let the subordinates continue to report, and shouted in a trembling voice: "There is an ambush, go quickly......"
However, he couldn't leave.
......
"So many dead people have been arranged to serve as soldiers of our army, just so that you will not notice the abnormality too soon, and now that you are deep in the camp, why should you rush out?" Li Yanrao lived on a high place, overlooking the camp, and the captain in the lights was easy to identify.
There is a sentence he doesn't want to say, in fact, the Tang soldiers in the camp are not all the Khitan dead soldiers who were killed by them today, at least not the ones on the Yuanmen and the corner tower, otherwise the Khitan army will most likely not rush into the camp, and they will not react so slowly after rushing in - that is the price that Lu Longjun must pay for setting up an ambush tonight.
Well, those people were Khitan captives who took refuge in the Tang army in Yikun Prefecture.
Li Yanrao looked at Xu Jing beside him, the other party was sinking his waist and opening his hips, and he was opening a big outrageous longbow, and the arrow on the bowstring was also very big, his face was very hideous, and a pair of sharp eagle eyes were even more breathtaking, so that people didn't dare to look directly.
"If you capture the thief and capture the king first, you will be pointed at this arrow, but don't shoot it crookedly." Li Yanrao reminded him.
With a bang, the strings trembled, like cicada wings, humming, and the arrows came out, like meteors, and they were not visible in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, the Khitan Wanfu in the camp seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and his body suddenly crooked, falling off the horse's back.
"Humble duty has never been missed." Xu Jing took the longbow and tilted his head slightly, both arrogant and indifferent.
Li Yanrao hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, both indifferent and bloodthirsty.
An arrow comes out, and a thousand troops move.
The soldiers who were ambushed in the tents at the corner of the camp came out, and the lit explosives bags in their hands kept throwing towards the dense Khitan crowd.
Explosions rang out one after another.
In the extremely dazzling white light, the blood mist in the Khitan crowd was covered, and the horses fell and people flew, howling miserably.
The scene was suddenly chaotic, the horses were frightened and ran, the people fled in panic, and everyone shouted "there is an ambush" and "there is an ambush" and other words, you hug me and squeeze, scrambling to retreat.
After dozens of thunders, the Lu Long soldiers had already appeared on the periphery of the camp, the strong crossbows were fired, the arrows rained down, and the Lu Long soldiers in black helmets and black robes shouted to kill the Khitan soldiers in the camp. In the camp, dust flew up on the ground, and groups of Lu Longjia soldiers appeared, and the curtain of the heavy vehicle fell off, and groups of elite soldiers rushed out.
Everywhere on the hillside outside the camp, countless torches were lit, and in front of the torches, countless flags and flags were unfurled, war drums were beating, and people were in shape.
The Khitan soldiers in the camp were all frightened, and the drums beat like ghosts, and the crowds sounded like nightmares, surrounding them. On the hillside in the dark night, the lights were shining far and near, like a sea of stars hanging upside down, and I don't know how many Tang troops were surrounding them.
Tonight, they are not a sneak attack, but an attack, not that they break the camp, but that they are ambushed!
On the hillside, which was only two or three hundred steps away from the camp, a huge royal flag suddenly lit up, and a huge "Qin" was written on it, majestic as a god. Under the king's flag, a person dressed in bright light armor stood with his hands in his hands, looking coldly at the camp.
Li ...... Li Congjing! ”
"It's the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, it's Li Congjing!"
"Li Congjing is here!"
"Run! Come on! ”
"Ambush!"
"The main force of the Tang Army is ambushing here, run!"
The panicked voice was startled everywhere, and the Khitan soldiers near and far heard it, and they didn't know who was shouting, let alone whether it was their companions shouting, but they could see it clearly on the royal flag and the figure under the king's flag, and they could see it clearly, and the Tang army that was rushing from far and near inside and outside the camp, they could see it clearly.
Thousands of Khitan soldiers threw away their armor and fled in embarrassment.
Many people tumbled down the hillside, and many more people climbed with them, and countless people trampled on each other and died.
The Tang army rode on foot and followed to kill.
It was a battle, the Khitan ten thousand cavalry was defeated, and the Tang army pursued and killed all the way until dawn.
The so-called Raozhou pioneer has ceased to exist.
Li Yanrao and Xu Jing became famous in a fight.
......
When the battle report reached Li Congjing's hands, the army was only half a day's journey from Wanmapo, and Li Congjing couldn't help but praise the battle report.
"The plan is calculated, and the anti-customer is the main thing. General Li fought a wonderful battle and won a hearty victory, and we couldn't help but feel refreshed just by browsing the battle report! Du Qianshu was also amazed.
Li Congjing said with a smile: "Xu Jing's insight into the opportunity is the key to winning this battle, Li Yanrao arranges the troops, and the virtual and the real are even more clever, but the most important part of this battle is actually a series of details. Li Yanrao is both wise and brave, and he is well-behaved, and he is indeed worthy of his reputation. ”
"Your Highness." Du Qianshu bowed.
"Lu Long's soldiers are brave and brave, and the border army is full of talents, this is a fortunate thing for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Congjing said with emotion.
Li Yanchao took over the conversation and said solemnly: "According to the last general's opinion, these are actually the merits of His Highness. Seeing that Du Qianshu and the others looked over, Li Yanchao's tone was more sufficient, "The elite of the border army is due to the inheritance of various rules and regulations established by His Royal Highness when he was in charge of Lu Long; There are many talents, but also because His Royal Highness has set up a martial arts academy in Youzhou. With these two, after war, how can the three armies not be elite, and how can the generals not be famous? If you look at it, Your Highness has made a hundred years of achievements in Youzhou! ”
Li Yanchao was moved, "Back then, everyone praised His Highness as 'the blessing of the clouds', but according to the general's opinion, it should be said that His Royal Highness is the 'blessing of the Tang Dynasty'." ”
Du Qianshu nodded solemnly, and even said that it was reasonable.
Li Congjing laughed, "Okay, you Li Yanchao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect that your kung fu of sloping and slapping horses has reached the realm, and you flatter the lonely king in front of you like this, your face is not red and your heart is not beating, you really deserve the words Tian shameless!" ”
