Chapter 566: Into the Enemy Camp
In the camp of the Jin army more than ten miles northwest of Wudu City, Hua'an and the generals of the department were discussing how to deal with Tuyuhun.
"Report, general, the 50,000-strong army of Tuyuhun has crossed the Western Han River and is camping five miles west of Wudu City." At this moment, the scout reported the latest movements of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses.
When Hua An heard this, he was slightly shocked, the marching speed of the Tuyuhun army was still faster than he imagined, but fortunately, the main army led by himself finally arrived.
"Big brother, the Tuyuhun army is coming so fast! It looks like they're going to attack the city tomorrow. Wang San said loudly.
"General, this is an opportunity, when the Tuyuhun army attacks the city tomorrow, the main force of our army will be killed from the back, and the main force of Tuyuhun will definitely be able to break through." Chen Ting Zhengse said.
Hua An nodded and said softly: "That's right, tomorrow is the time to break the Tuyuhun army, let the officers and soldiers of the whole army have a good night's rest, assemble after breakfast tomorrow, and immediately prepare for a surprise attack on the main army of Tuyuhun." ”
"Yes, General." The generals were amazed.
Hua'an looked in the direction of Wudu City, and imagined in his heart the scene of the surprise attack on the Tuyuhun siege army, in Hua'an's imagination, although the Tuyuhun army has many soldiers and horses, but they don't know the existence of their 40,000 main army, therefore, as long as the Tuyuhun main army concentrates on attacking the city, it will definitely be able to break it, and 30,000 of the 40,000 main forces under his command are cavalry, and the effect of the cavalry raid is the best, when chasing and killing the fleeing enemy. The effect is even better.
But the most important thing in fighting a war is to know oneself and the enemy, and before fighting, it is also very important to understand the combat strength and constant movements of some Tuyuhun troops.
In order to better understand the combat power of the Tuyuhun army, Hua An decided to take advantage of the night to personally enter the tiger's den and lead a small number of personal soldiers to venture into the vicinity of the Tuyuhun camp to investigate the situation of the Tuyuhun army.
At this time, the soldiers of the three armies had basically rested, Hua An looked at the few personal soldiers beside him, and said softly: "You guys have taken off their armor." Put on Orion's clothes. With Ben will go to the Tuyuhun camp to investigate. ”
Seeing that Hua'an wanted to take the risk himself, his own soldiers hurriedly objected: "General, you are the chief general of the three armies, how can you risk your life." Let the scouts investigate! ”
Hua'an naturally understands that the responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces is to lead the three armed forces. Instead of doing what these scouts are supposed to do. After all, once the main general is lost, the three armies will collapse. The consequences are unimaginable.
However, there are some situations that cannot be completed by a few small scouts, and this battle against Tuyuhun is related to the stability of the rear during the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the future, so it is absolutely impossible to be careless.
Hua An looked at a few pro-soldiers and said softly: "Don't worry! Ben will just go to the outside of the Tuyuhun camp to take a look, and it will be fine, obey the order. After speaking, he motioned to several pro-soldiers to prepare immediately.
Several pro-soldiers did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly went to prepare Orion's arrival clothes and bows and arrows, Hua'an also dressed up as Orion, and brought a few pro-soldiers, and rode their horses in the direction of Tuyuhun camp.
Along the way, Hua'an and his party were cautious, for fear of causing a big movement, because the Jin army camp was not very far from the Tuyuhun camp, therefore, Hua'an and his party soon arrived at the periphery of the Tuyuhun camp.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Tuyuhun sentinels, Hua'an and his party immediately dismounted, and let a soldier be responsible for taking care of the horses, while the rest of the soldiers followed behind Hua'an and continued to grope in the direction of the Tuyuhun camp.
At this time, it was already night, the main army of Tuyuhun had rested, and there were patrolling soldiers in the camp from time to time, and there were also many scattered cavalry on the periphery of the camp, galloping back and forth, to prevent spies from mixing in.
Looking at the large tent in front of him, Hua An could estimate the number of Tuyuhun's army, and sure enough, among the 50,000, so many soldiers and horses, if he hadn't led the main force back, with the 20,000 troops under the command of Lei Storm, Wudu and Yinping County, it would have been really dangerous.
It can be seen from this point that Tuyuhun is very good at timing me, perhaps, they have formed an alliance with Zhao State to jointly deal with Liang State and Great Jin, but Tuyuhun overestimated the strength of Zhao State, so he did not expect that his main army could withdraw and return so quickly.
"General, the Tuyuhun camp is well guarded, let's go back!" Seeing the surroundings of the Tuyuhun camp, the sentry rode around, and a personal soldier whispered a way.
Hua An shook his head and said softly: "Don't worry, we just came, how can we just leave?" If only you could scratch your tongue, you can ask about the situation of Tuyuhun's army. After speaking, he looked at the soldiers.
The soldiers were shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "General, don't do it, this is a big camp in Tuyuhun!" If our whereabouts are revealed, it will be difficult for us to escape. ”
Hua An smiled and said softly, "If it's not in the way, go and lure them over." After speaking, he looked at a pro-soldier.
The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "General, this is the Tuyuhun camp, and it is too dangerous to deliberately expose your whereabouts like this." ”
"What so much nonsense, let you go, you go, obey the order." Hua An was slightly angry.
"Yes, General." The soldiers had no choice but to stand up and quietly walk forward.
Tuyuhun's sentry is not blind, after this soldier walked out of the woods, two sentry horsemen found him, saw someone haunting near the camp, Tuyuhun sentry horseman's first impression, thought that this was the Jin army's scout, so, the two sentry horsemen looked at each other, raised the scimitar in their hands, and rode their horses to kill.
Seeing that the two sentry riders of Tuyuhun raised their scimitars and killed them, the soldiers took two steps back, and then turned around and fled into the woods.
At this moment, Hua An and the rest of his own soldiers had already bent their bows and arrows and were ready to attack.
"Don't shoot anyone, shoot all horses." Hua'an didn't want a dead man who couldn't speak, so he gave the order softly.
When the soldiers heard this, they all nodded their heads in obedience.
The two Tuyuhun sentinels wanted to catch the Jin army scouts to make meritorious contributions, but they didn't want to fall into the trap set by Hua'an, and they were unaware of the impending danger.
"Shoot the arrows." When the Tuyuhun Sentinel rode into the ambush, Hua An gave the order to release the arrows.
"Whoosh...... Several sharp arrows whistled out, and the Tuyuhun Sentinel sat down in the middle of the horse.
"Plop ......" fell to the ground with an arrow on his horse, knocking the two sentry off his horse.
Hua An and several of his own soldiers immediately stepped forward and stuffed the prepared cloth into the mouth of the Tuyuhun Sentinel to prevent it from making a sound, and tied the two up immediately.
"General, the tongue has been caught, let's go back immediately!" The soldiers were afraid that the movement just now would attract a large number of people from Tuyuhun, and asked Hua'an to leave immediately.
Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "Take off the clothes of these two people, I am going to be a sentry horse." ”
The pro-soldiers naturally understood a trace of Hua'an, but it was too dangerous to do so, and if they were discovered, the consequences would be extremely severe.
"General, think twice!" The pro-soldier pleaded.
"Okay, don't say it, Ben Jiang has made up his mind, you stay with me, and the rest of the people, immediately escort these two people back to the camp for interrogation, and be sure to ask about the various situations of the Tuyuhun army from their mouths, go quickly!" After Hua An finished speaking, he looked at one of the pro-soldiers.
Seeing that Hua'an had made up his mind, the soldiers knew that it would be useless to persuade them, so they obeyed Hua'an's order, took off the clothes of the two Tuyuhun sentinels, and then escorted them back to the Jin army camp.
Hua An and one of the soldiers left behind changed into the clothes of the Tuyuhun Sentinel Cavalry, stepped on their war horses, rode their horses in the direction of the Tuyuhun camp, and galloped back and forth along the periphery of the Tuyuhun camp to observe the situation in the camp.
After some careful investigation, Hua'an discovered that the patrol characteristics of Tuyuhun's sentry were loose and loose, and they could enter the camp at will to rest.
After all, this is a nomadic people, and the military discipline is not very strict, and this just gives Hua'an the opportunity to blend into the camp.
Hua An glanced at each other with his own soldiers, and rode his horse towards the Tuyuhun camp, and along the way, he was not hindered in any way, and no one doubted their identity.
In the Tuyuhun camp, Hua'an calmly galloped around, and checked the various military equipment of the camp to understand the excellent equipment of the Tuyuhun army, so as to know it in his heart.
There was still a light on in a tent in front of him, and Hua An rode his horse lightly, but he heard the standard Shuzhong dialect inside.
As soon as he heard the Chinese dialect in Shu, Hua An'an couldn't help but be slightly shocked, in the Tuyuhun camp, some people could speak the Chinese dialect in Shu, which was enough to show that the person who spoke was a member of the rebel army of the king oath.
Hua An gently lowered the war horse and slowly leaned over, but the slight noise did not attract the attention of the people in the tent.
In the tent, Wang Wei smiled, looked at the envoy of Zhao State, and said softly: "Lord Envoy, this time there is the help of the Tuyuhun army, I think the Great Zhao Wang Shi will definitely be able to destroy the Liang Kingdom first, and then destroy the Jin army, what do you say?" ”
The envoy of Zhao State looked proud, nodded, and said softly: "This time, thanks to Lord Wang for persuading Tuyuhun Da Danyu, otherwise, my Great Zhao Wang Division, there would not be such a support army, Lord Wang helped me Great Zhao, and this envoy will definitely report to my king." ”
When Wang Wei heard this, he was immediately flattered, and hurriedly said: "The envoy is polite, this is what should be done in the next, as long as the Great Zhao Wangshi destroys the Jin army, he will be able to realize the great wish of recovering the country." ”
When the envoy of Zhao State heard this, he nodded again and again, paused, and said: "The Jin army wants the yellow finch to sneak attack the back of my Great Zhao Wangshi, but I don't know that there is the eagle Tuyuhun behind it, wait for the army to capture Wudu County, and see how the main force of the Jin army can escape the fate of annihilation." ”
Hearing this, Hua An, who was hiding outside the tent, suddenly realized, he suddenly understood why Ma Qiu dared to ignore himself and lead the main army to the west. (To be continued......)
