Names and surnames:

The first place: Cao Renshi, the general of the Left Eagle Yangwei, there is no history book. There was only one time before this, that is, two years ago, in 694 AD, Feng Xiaobao (Xue Huaiyi), a lover of Wu Zetian and a merchant in the rivers and lakes, went out to conquer the Turks, but he only went out for a spin and did not encounter the enemy, so he went to the army.

Second place: Zhang Xuanyu, the general of the right Jin Wuwei, there is no history book. There had been two times before this, once when he led the army to the southwest to pick up the surrendered Tubo and Su troops; One was to go to Lingnan to suppress the rebellion of the barbarians.

Third place: Li Duozuo, the general of Zuo Weiwei, the only one who has been passed down in the history books. He was the same as Li Jinxing as the chief of the Yan Dynasty, and the history records that he was "brave and good at shooting", and he was the only one who was good at fighting in the Khitan and had rich combat experience against all ethnic groups in Fanyi.

Fourth place: Sinong Shaoqing Ma Ren Festival, there is no history book. From the official name, it can be known that this is a deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. Wu Zetian really dared to make up the numbers for the sake of posture.

……

The rest of the people are all included in "wait".

This is a worrying list!

The only ones with combat experience in it are Zhang Xuanyu and Li Duozuo.

Zhang Xuanyu has a very high rank and should be one of the commanders of the army, fortunately he once led the troops in person, although the result is unknown, at least he has some understanding of military affairs. It's just that, judging from the development of the story, he is not a competent manager, and even, he is not worthy of being this coach.

Li Duozuo, I need to focus on it.

"Hundred battles and remnants" Li Duozuo

Name: Li Duozuo Nationality: 靺鞨族

Year of birth and death: 654-707

Career Experience:

Born as a chieftain of the Eagle,

687, 33 years old: General Zuo Yingyang;

694, aged 40: General of the Right Eagle Yangwei;

696, 42 years old: General Zuo Weiwei;

……

Main achievements: Cooperate with the Black Tooth Changzhi to break the Turks and clear the desert north; As the commander of the army, ...... successfully suppressed the rebellion of Mur Wei, one of the "Erbo" known as one of the Khitans, so far, Li Duozuo's exploits are only these two aspects, but compared to his later achievements, the victory over the Turks and the defeat of Murwei can be ignored or even not mentioned. Just beware, that's later, not now!

Li Duozuo, who has rich experience in fighting against Fanyi, and the remaining 27 generals, it seems. This army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty will return triumphantly!

Looking at the army with bright armor, red flags, and covering the sky, Wu Zetian was full of confidence, and she believed that this army would definitely be able to defeat the Khitan. Defeat a hostile force that dares to defy the authority of women.

In order to be more relieved, and at the same time, for a good omen, she decided to change Li Quanzhong to Li Duan. Sun Wanrong for Sun Wanrong! The implication is good! It's a pity that judging from the development of the war later, she seems to have corrected her mistake, and she should have changed it to "Destroy Li" and "Ten Thousand Beheaded Suns", which seems to be a more accurate expression of her meaning.

The army set off in the direction of Khitan!

Khitan side

Sun Wanqi (Sun Wanrong), who was distressed on the front line of Xincheng, was no longer distressed, and quickly withdrew his troops, and he wanted to discuss with Li Duanzhong (Li Quanzhong) how to break the enemy. Although Datang is now a sick tiger with both internal and external injuries, it is still not to be underestimated when it comes to initiating Weilai!

What's even more terrifying is that the trainer of this sick tiger is a tigress!

Although I, the Khitan, claim to have "100,000 soldiers". But in fact, there are only tens of thousands of horses, and the other side has Li Duozuo and other good generals, and the Khitan is definitely not an opponent.

How do you win more with less? How to defeat the strong with the weak?

Only: Ambush!

Ambush warfare, one of the common tactics of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, is one of the preferred ways for the weak to annihilate the enemy under the enemy's strong and weak shape. Specifically, there are two types, waiting for ambush and lurking.

The so-called ambush is, in layman's terms, a passive ambush, that is, after detecting the time and the path of the enemy's sortie. Set up an ambush in advance and wait to destroy the enemy;

The so-called ambush is, in layman's terms, an active ambush, that is, our side chooses a good ambush location. Then, we will use the technique of luring the enemy to our preset battlefield and wait to destroy the enemy.

Theoretically, it seems simple. But in practice, it is not something that can be done simply with the word "ambush". The right time, the right battlefield, the right vanguard, and the right lure ......

As a culturally backward Khitan who is not proficient in the art of war and only has brute force, this requires a high level of military literacy from commanders, can they do it? Will they be able to stand up to this behemoth? In 696 AD, the first year of Emperor Zetian of the Tang Dynasty was long lived. October.

Hebei Province, Weizhou (now Hebei Daimyo).

After receiving the order from the imperial court to serve as the assassin of Weizhou, the 66-year-old Pengze County Ling Di Renjie finally came to Weizhou after traveling non-stop, day and night, and after a long distance of more than 1,000 miles.

From the promotion of the small county order to the assassination history, Di Renjie will not be surprised, because this is not a promotion, but a reinstatement (process) - four years ago, Di Renjie, who was the prime minister, was framed by Lai Junchen and demoted to Peng Zeling.

To Di Renjie's surprise, it was the autumn harvest season when the fields were full of fruits and golden fields, and there was no one working in the fields, not only in the fields, but also on the roads, and there were few pedestrians!

It's weird! What's going on? Where have all the people gone?

Don't get excited, this is not a detective suspense novel, nor is it a TV series "Detective Di Renjie", and there is no need for "Yuan Fang" to check the case!

Di Renjie and his entourage hurried to Weizhou, and under the city of Weizhou, Di Renjie found the disappeared people. Inside and outside the trench in mid-August 694 AD, in the Tang Dynasty, Hebei Province, and Youzhou.

Wu Zhou's "Twenty-Eight General Army" was marching rapidly, and their goal was clear - the main Khitan force.

While marching to Youzhou, they encountered hundreds of Tang soldiers who had fled from Yingzhou, and these Tang soldiers provided the army with the latest information on the enemy situation: the Khitan was in a great famine, the disaster was severe, they could not survive, and the rebellion was also a last resort. As soon as the imperial army arrived, they would surrender immediately.

After analysis, Zhang Xuanyu believes that this information is very credible, because the Khitan hunger is true now.

So, Zhang Xuanyu ordered: the army is speeding up, the Khitan is short of food due to the disaster, its army is weak, there is no suspense about the outcome of the outcome, and the goal now is to find its main force and annihilate it.

Mission: Hunt down the enemy!

It's really simple to find them. Beat them!

Zhang Xuanyu's self-confidence infected every soldier, everyone was high-spirited, and there was no need for any heroic oath-taking ceremony, the Khitan soldiers were vulnerable!

Make a difference. Right now! History records that "when the soldiers heard it, they wanted to enter first." ”

Fortunately, Zhang Xuanyu still had a hint of skepticism, and for the sake of prudence, he divided the army into two. He personally led the main force of the army to advance in advance, and ordered Yan Bandit Shi and Zong Huaichang, the commanders of the march, to lead part of the troops as the rear army, and then set off, and the front and rear armies responded to each other. Just in case.

On August 28, 694 A.D., Datang, Hebei Province, Pingzhou.

When Zhang Xuanyu led the main Tang army to march to Xikip Stone in the north of Pingzhou, he encountered a small Khitan army. After the battle, they won easily, and the remaining Khitan soldiers were defeated and fled.

Winning is not exciting. What is exciting is that from this battle, the Tang army found that the so-called legendary Khitan soldiers who are brave and good at fighting are just old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning!

The most excited person was Zhang Xuanyu, who was convinced that the news of the defeated army from Yingzhou was completely credible!

Don't miss the opportunity!

Zhang Xuanyu, Cao Renshi, Ma Renjie and others left the infantry and only led the cavalry to quickly pursue the Khitan rout. ("The three armies abandoned the infantry and advanced the cavalry.") ”

This is a children's song, which began to be sung in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places in April 692, and the author is unknown. The meaning is unknown, but it has been four years now......

Yellow deer, is the yellow deer valley also! It is a canyon located in the West Kip Rock with high cliffs on both sides. There are only two exits, front and rear. Moreover, the Yellow Deer Valley is very narrow, and it is difficult to make a U-turn even if you go in.

Under the pursuit of the Tang army, the Khitan rout all fled into the Yellow Valley.

Can a boiled duck still fly?

The Tang army did not hesitate to rush forward and also rushed into the Yellow Valley.

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely." Pursue deserters, and they are vulnerable deserters, and they still need formation? There's no need to disrupt the establishment, and where there are Khitans, they will rush there!

The main Khitan force is ahead!

The confident Tang Jun didn't know that at this time, on the high ground on both sides of the canyon, there were countless pairs of eyes watching their every move! You guessed it right, these people are the real Khitan main force!

Among these countless pairs of eyes, there is a pair of eyes that are particularly spiritual, and in these eyes, Tang Bing in the canyon is the real "boiled duck".

The owner of these eyes is Li Kaigu!

Li Kaigu, a fierce general under Li Qianzhong, has strong martial arts, especially good at using the rope (lasso), which is the kind of long rope with a live buckle tied at one end and used to lassoe a horse. According to the Tang Dynasty notebook novel "The Ruling and Wild", Li Kaigu "roe deer, fox and rabbit, go to the horse to cover the interception, let go of the rope, and there is no omission." Li Kaigu is not only skillful in the use of ropes, but also very good at other horses, what bows, arrows, spears, and lances, that is proficient in everything, and the dance is dazzling, the ancients called it: "Make (compare) like a flying immortal." ”

Now this Li Kaigu is holding the noose tightly in his hands, his eyes are like torches, he is looking for the commander of the Tang Army...... When the Tang army, which was preoccupied with the rapid pursuit of the Khitan soldiers, all entered the canyon, the long-awaited elite Khitan army launched a fierce attack on the flank of the Tang army from the high ground on both sides!

The Tang army, which was suddenly attacked, was shocked and defenseless, and suddenly there was chaos at the bottom of the valley, and people turned on their backs!

The frightened commander of the Tang Army was also helpless at this time and moved forward? Or backwards?

The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light!

The enemy is in the high place, I am in the low place!

I can't fight and I can't fight, so I can only run......

Got in and want to run out? I'm sorry for you!

Li Kaigu didn't give Tang Army commander Zhang Xuanyu and others too much time to hesitate, and directly threw a throw, trapping the two generals, Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie.

These two brothers were lucky, and although they were captured, they at least survived.

Zuo Yingyangwei's general Cao Renshi and others were not so lucky and died in the chaos.

The leaderless Tang army is only left to be beaten passively, there are too many people, it is not easy to run, you go north, I go south, it is messy, the valley bottom is so narrow, it is a mess, it is all crowded into a lump; Just like the first station of the Wuhan subway, as soon as the door opens, the inside is squeezed out, and the outside is squeezed in, unless you have the brute strength, you can only move with the flow of people, yes, just that feeling, I can experience it twice a day!

The battlefield has become a slaughterhouse!

History: "The dead fill the valley, and there are few escapes." "The dead fill the valley, and there is rarely a remnant."

Fortunately, our "remnant of a hundred battles" Comrade Li Duozuo triumphantly ran out of the chaotic army. This is the real talent, you can fight, you can run!

Zhang Xuanyu, Ma Ren Festival? Gee......

The front army of the "28 General Army" was completely annihilated, Li Quanzhong, Sun Wanrong and others did not have time to celebrate, they also knew that this was only the front army, what should we do if there is still a rear army?

You have to admire Li Quanzhong's military mind, although he was born a barbarian, he has the many tricks of the Central Plains.

It turned out that the hundreds of Tang soldiers that Zhang Xuanyu and others met in Youzhou were deliberately released by Li Quanzhong, and those Tang soldiers were captured in the Battle of Yingzhou and were originally locked in prison, but after hearing the news that the Tang Dynasty sent an "army of twenty-eight generals" to conquer, Li Quanzhong began his plan to destroy the enemy and win!

His plan was to send the Xia people guarding the Tang prisoners to spread false news to the Tang prisoners: we are now hungry and cold, and we can't survive anymore, as long as the official army arrives, we will surrender. (That's what we saw at the beginning.) ）

Step 2: In order to convince the Tang prisoners that this news is accurate, send the Khitans to release the Tang prisoners again, and continue to fool these Tang prisoners: Lock you up here, have nothing to eat for you, and kill you, but we can't bear it. You'd better go.

The hundreds of Tang prisoners who were freed completely believed this false information, and indeed, they had no reason to release us except that they had nothing to eat.

So, Zhang Xuanyu and others entered Li Qianzhong's trap in this way.

This is Li Quanzhong's "lure and ambush" plan!

After the analysis, Li Quanzhong didn't have time to savor the pleasure after the big victory, the real problem was that the follow-up troops of Tang Junyan Bandit Shi and Zong Huaichang would come immediately.

Li Quanzhong decided to continue to use the "lure ambush" strategy!

Among the captured trophies, Li Quanzhong found the military seal of the Tang army, so he wrote a military book (military Chinese), which reads: "The officers and soldiers have broken the thieves, and if they go to Yingzhou, the generals will be beheaded, and the soldiers will not be honored." ”

The gist of it is: The official army has defeated the Khitan rebels, and now if you don't hurry to Yingzhou, all the officers will be beheaded, and the soldiers will not be honored.

However, it is not enough to have a military seal and a military seal, you must have the signature of the commander, this is not difficult, Zhang Xuanyu, the commander of the Tang Army, was arrested, and now he is in front of me. It's just that it's a bit difficult to get him to sign it.

Once, Xu Qinlian, the deputy envoy of the small Longshan Army, was unwilling to give in to me, but now he is Zhang Xuanyu, the commander of the "Twenty-Eight General Army". (To be continued.) )
