Chapter 136: The Trouble I Played
(Continue to ask for collection)
After arranging the soldiers on duty, Li Xian swam in the water very comfortably, the weather at this time was already a little cold, especially at night, at least twice as low as the temperature during the day. However, since childhood, the demon who has been saying that he has been taking cold showers non-stop is naturally not afraid of anything, and he tossed in the water happily for a while, and the boredom in his heart has also been dispelled a lot.
After wiping his body and putting on his clothes, Li Xian sat down on the stone on the shore, carefully recalling Wang Qinian's previous report, Li Xian's heart tightened again.
The discovery of Goguryeo scouts from the upper reaches is not a good sign. Li Xian vaguely remembered the reason for the failure of the Sui army in the battle of Sashui, he was not a historian, and probably only remembered that Eulzhi Wende blocked the river in the upper reaches of Sashui, and then dug it when the Sui army crossed the river, and released the water when the Sui army crossed the river and rushed straight down, and then the Goguryeo army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the Sui army. Although he seriously injured Yizhi Wende outside the Sui army camp and changed history, Li Xian was not sure that Yizhi Wende couldn't think of this trick because of his injury.
That's why he sent Wang Qinian to inspect the upstream with scouts, and Wang Qinian ordered to kill those Goguryeo scouts very beautifully, and Li Xian appreciated Wang Qinian's thoughts.
Wang Qinian knew that there were definitely more than a few Goguryeo scouts nearby, and he ordered the killing, just to warn the Goguryeo people hidden in the shadows, and the men and horses of the Great Sui were already paying attention to the upper reaches of the Sashui.
Wang Qinian did a good job, if he was the leader of other people's teams, he would not necessarily be able to think of this layer, which shows that Li Xian's admiration for Wang Qinian is definitely not because this person's sycophants are very good, and he is very careful, and he is definitely not comparable to people like Fuhu Nu and Chen Qi'er.
Perhaps it is precisely because Wang Qinian is timid that he thinks more. Just like Li Xian, because he wants to live well, it is inevitable that his attitude towards life is different from others.
Do you want to remind Brother Xue Wanche?
Li Xian thought, if he told the Xue Wanche brothers the news that there were Goguryeo scouts in the upper reaches, would the two brothers tell Xue Shixiong the news, and then attract Yuwenshu's attention? If Yuwenshu could send another group of men and horses to patrol back and forth in the upper reaches, the Goguryeo people would have no chance even if they wanted to cut off the Sasu.
Li Xian knew that if he sent someone to tell Xin Shixiong the news, there would definitely be no follow-up.
After thinking about it, it seems that there is only one way to tell the Xue brothers.
He stood up, called his soldiers over, and said: "Cross the river overnight and report to General Xue Wanche, saying that there are traces of Goguryeo soldiers found twenty miles upstream, which may be unfavorable to the army, and ask General Xue to give orders on how to deal with it." ”
As he was talking, suddenly Li Xian felt a little strange. He subconsciously turned his head, only to see a faint fire flashing in the camp of the Xue brothers on the other side of the river, and across the river, he could faintly hear people's shouts.
Enemy attack?
Li Xian's face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Blow the horn and gather!" ”
He quickly ran back to his camp, and with the help of his own soldiers, he put on his black armor neatly, brought a hard bow and arrow pot, took the black knife in his hand, and walked quickly outside. Outside the military tent, there were already soldiers who brought the big black horse over, Li Xian got on the horse and rushed to the outside of the camp, and Luo Fu and others came one after another on the way. Li Xian ordered the Iron Fang Wolf to guard the camp with one of his Zhichong battalions, while Luo Fu Liu Man gathered soldiers to follow him across the river to the north bank to rescue the Xue brothers.
At this moment, the well-trained soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion were fully reflected. In about 20 minutes, the soldiers and horses of each battalion had already been assembled.
"All the cavalry, cross the river with me first, Luo Fu, you come with me, do good, you cross the river with foot soldiers, you don't have to look for enemies to fight, just maintain the camp, but if there are rebels who take the opportunity to make trouble, no matter whose subordinates they are, there will be no mercy!"
Li Xian ordered.
Liu Man hugged his fists and said: "I understand my humble duties!" ”
Li Xian nodded, waved his hand, and took the lead in running out with more than 500 cavalry. This section of the river is very shallow, and the cavalry crossing the river is basically unaffected. Just when Li Xian was gathering his men, the fire in the camp of the Xue brothers in the north of Sashui had become brighter and brighter.
……
……
"Tell the soldiers to shout louder!"
Xue Wanche stood on the south side of the camp, observing Li Xian's camp on the other side of the river while smiling and commanding loudly. Xue Wanjun, who was standing behind him, pursed his lips, as if he was quite disdainful of the appearance of a villain like his brother. At first, Xue Wanche asked him to take a few hundred people to pretend to be Goguryeo soldiers to see if Li Xian would bring troops to the rescue. If Li Xian came, he only said that the Goguryeo people attacked at night, and he had already been driven away. He left Li Xian to garrison the north bank to test whether Li Xian really had the heart to repay the Xue family.
It's just that Xue Wanjun said that he wouldn't do anything, and persuaded Xue Wanche not to use such villainous methods to test Li Xian. Xue Wanche didn't listen, and sent his cronies to lead a few hundred people to set a fire on the side of the camp, and then roared a few times and pretended to be attacking from the Koreans. Xue Wanjun was so angry that Suo stood coldly on the side and watched the joke like watching his brother's idiotic performance.
Perhaps because he thought that his method was very good, Xue Wanche actually thought that the soldiers' shouts were not loud enough, and he had ordered the soldiers to amplify their voices a little more twice in a row. He had a lot of fun playing by himself, but Xue Wanjun was so angry that his face turned white.
"Shout, shout, General Yan will bring someone over in a while, and I will see how you explain!"
"Shout, shout, I'll see how you end up with the Goguryeo people in a while!"
He waited for Xue Wanche and muttered in his mouth.
Xue Wanche glanced at him, turned around and asked seriously, "Are you my younger brother?" Why is there some unlucky words muttering in my mouth? Didn't I say that if Yan Yun brings troops to the rescue, I will tell him that the Goryeo people have been repelled by me, and if the Goguryeo people really come to steal the camp without opening their eyes, I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”
Xue Wanjun pursed his lips and said, "Do you think that Yan Yun is as idiot as you?" ”
Xue Wanche said angrily: "If you say I'm an idiot again, believe it or not, I'll beat you!" ”
Speaking of fighting, the two Xue Wanjun are not Xue Wanche's opponents, every time the two of them quarrel, when Xue Wanche is angry and ready to make a move, Xue Wanjun will always retreat.
This time was no exception, seeing that Xue Wanche was about to make a move when he pulled up his cuffs, Xue Wanjun immediately shut up, turned around and walked into the distance, muttering as he walked that the villain would say something like that. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Brother...... It doesn't seem right. ”
Xue Wanjun shouted.
"Don't call me, you be your good person!"
Xue Wanche said angrily.
Xue Wanjun didn't look back, looking at the firelight in the distance, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Quick! There really is a night attack by the Goguryeos! ”
He shouted, and hurried towards the flickering fire. It's just that he is too fat, and he jumps up and down with fat when he runs, but his speed is not a few points faster. Xue Wanche heard that his tone was wrong, turned around and looked into the distance and listened, and immediately his face changed.
The shouts in the distance were obviously mixed with the barbarian words of the Goguryeo people!
Not good!
Xue Wanche was shocked, there were really Goguryeo people who came to rob the camp! He did not dare to delay, and while loudly ordering the horn to be blown, he snatched his lance from the hands of his own soldiers, and rushed forward quickly. Xue Wanjun ran first, but was chased by Xue Wanche from behind within a few steps. Xue Wanjun complained as he ran: "It's all your fault, you have to come up with such a bad idea!" This is good, it must be the Goguryeo people who saw the fire in our camp, and thought that someone was coming to attack at night, so they had the courage to rush over, originally they didn't dare to attack rashly, but they were all attracted by your fire! ”
Xue Wanche passed by him and replied with only two words: "Shut up!" ”
Xue Wanjun ran sweaty, but after all, he was too fat, and his speed was far from Xue Wanche's opponent, and he no longer ran with the surname Suo, but restrained the soldiers not to panic while walking. In addition, he sent his own soldiers to fetch his large armor, and at the same time sent people to quickly cross the river to General Yan Yun for help.
In fact, as Xue Wanjun had just predicted. The Goguryeo people saw the fire in the Sui camp and thought that a friendly army had attacked the Sui camp. The composition of the Goguryeo army was very complex, not only the men and horses of the Goguryeo court, but also the foreign warriors who were bought with a lot of money, such as the Tatar and the Khitans, etc., in addition, Goguryeo seemed to be a complete country, but in fact, the lords of each city were all princes who occupied one side of the territory, and did not fully obey the orders of the Goguryeo king Gao Yuan. However, it was this Great Sui Eastern Crusade that united these forces.
But even so, the army of Goguryeo was extremely chaotic in terms of command. Some tribes did not dare to fight with the Great Sui army openly, but followed from a distance, and when they had the opportunity to attack, they pounced on it like wolves and tore it for a while, and once they were frustrated, they immediately fled in swarms. The city lords of each city also fought their own battles, and even if Yizhi Wende relied on force to gain military leadership, it was still difficult to achieve the unity of military orders like the Sui army.
The attack on the camp of the Xue brothers was an army cobbled together by several city lords with their men and horses, and they had only recently arrived near Sashui on the orders of E-branch Wende. happened to see a fire in the camp of the Sui army, and thought that it was the soldiers and horses of Yizhi Wende who launched a night attack. As soon as they thought of the enviable equipment of the Sui soldiers, these Goguryeo people immediately rushed up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
This was definitely not a premeditated attack, but for the Sui army, it was more threatening than a long-planned attack, because ...... This is Xue Wanche's own trouble.
The Goguryeo army, numbering no less than 20,000 men, launched an offensive from the east side of the Sui camp. Xue Wanche's camp on the north bank only has five folding camps, 6,000 people, and less than 8,000 people including auxiliary soldiers, and half of them are sleeping, and the other half are watching the play!
Just when the Sui army was having fun himself, 20,000 wolf-like Goguryeo people came overwhelmingly!
