Chapter 964: Battle of Taiyuan (5)
After only a moment, Broza led the cavalry to the city, and after listening for a moment, there was no shouting and killing in it, and Broza shouted to the soldiers at the head of the city: "I am Broza, let Clumsy come to me immediately!" ”
It took a while for someone to agree, "We're going to report it!" ”
At this time, the battle in the city was over, the Sui soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield and deploying new defenses, almost all the three thousand Turkic soldiers in the city gate were killed, and none of them escaped from the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wei Wentong hurriedly came to the head of the city, looked down through the battlements, and saw that there were more than 2,000 cavalry under the city, but he couldn't see where the main general Broza was?
After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly had a plan to ask the soldier to tie a roll of sheepskin to the arrow, and one of the soldiers shouted in Turkic: "We have the order of the Khan, and General Buzaro can see for himself!" ”
The soldier shot the sheepskin arrow, and at this time, Wei Wentong immediately opened his bow and arrow, and slowly pulled the bowstring.
The Turkic soldiers under the city picked up the parchment scroll and hurriedly ran to present it to Buzaro, who wondered in his heart, how could there be an order from the Khan?
He could not think of the tricks of the Central Plains, and the strong curiosity in his heart drove him to know how the khan had given the order, so he took the parchment and immediately opened it, and a torch came up.
Wei Wentong was waiting for this opportunity, when the torch illuminated Buzaro's face, and as soon as his bowstring loosened, a wolf's tooth arrow 'whoosh!' The earth shot out, and the arrows shot like lightning at Buzaro.
Buzaro never dreamed that this Khan's warrant was a trap, and when he found that there was not a word in the parchment scroll in front of him, he was stunned, and as soon as he instinctively looked up, the arrow came to his eyes.
The arrow was so fast and so hard that he couldn't dodge it, and he just listened to 'poof!' An arrow struck him in the right eye, and Broza screamed and fell from his horse to the ground.
At the same time, Wei Wentong shouted: "Shoot me an arrow!" ”
The arrows on the head of the city were like a torrential rain, intensively shooting at the cavalry under the city, and the cavalry below was suddenly in chaos, hundreds of cavalry were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and dozens of personal guard cavalry robbed the main general who was seriously injured, and retreated quickly, and the Turkic cavalry withdrew like a tide.
........
Wei Wentong knew that even if his arrow could not kill the enemy's commander, it would be able to buy them a little time, and in a day or two, on the one hand, he ordered the Eagle Slave Feiying to send a message to the commander, and on the other hand, he immediately began to deploy the defense of Guancheng.
This time, Wei Wentong led 5,000 soldiers to make a detour to avoid the Turkic patrol posts, and went up the mountain from the west of Loufu Pass, and 3,000 troops raided lightly to seize the pass, and 2,000 soldiers with a large number of bows, crossbows, arrows and some grain were waiting on the top of the mountain.
Wei Wentong ordered a lieutenant to go up the mountain to receive the 2,000 reserve troops down the mountain, while the adjutant general Wang Xuanjing was responsible for urgently deploying soldiers to defend the city at the north and south of the city to prevent a surprise attack by the Turkic army.
Wei Wentong took dozens of soldiers to check the situation in the city, he was especially concerned about how much food was still in the city, and the soldiers behind carried a large number of bows and crossbows and arrows, but the food was not much, if the food in the city was insufficient, they must immediately ask the commander for help.
However, Wang Xuanjing told him just now that the grain Turkic army they had left in the city basically did not move, which made Wei Wentong breathe a sigh of relief, they left two thousand stone of grain at the beginning, if these two thousand stone of grain were still there, the five thousand people would be able to solve the problem of one and a half months of food.
Several soldiers pushed open the heavy warehouse door, there are two warehouses, one is a grain depot, the other is an armory, Wei Wentong advanced the grain depot, there are only bags of neatly stacked grain in the grain depot, each bag of grain weighs one stone, the soldiers quickly counted, sure enough, there are two thousand bags in total.
Wei Wentong stabbed open a bag of grain with a dagger, and the golden wheat flowed down, he nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, a soldier next to him rushed to report: "General, please go to the warehouse next door to have a look." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The general will see it."
Wei Wentong was surprised, so he walked quickly to the warehouse next door, as soon as he entered the warehouse gate, he immediately gave him a cold shiver, this was originally an armory, it was emptied before he retreated, it should be an empty warehouse, but this is not the case, the sacks inside are piled up, and the sacks are bubbling with a trace of white gas, making everyone fall into an ice cave.
A soldier had already cut open a sack, only to see that it was a frozen half-sheep, a bag with a total of five half-sheep, and a large block of ice, Wei Wentong immediately understood, this armory has become a granary for the Turks, no wonder they did not touch the grain.
"General, there's still wine in there!"
Several soldiers went inside and found a large number of leather bags, all of which contained brewed mare's milk wine.
Wei Wentong was overjoyed and smiled at everyone: "I was still thinking just now, what if we only have food, but no vegetables?" This is not! The Turks have prepared it for us, delicious beef and mutton! Everyone should have a good meal at noon today. ”
One of the soldiers also playfully shouted: "General, it's a pity that we only brought salt, and we would have brought more barbecue spices if we knew it!" ”
Everyone burst out laughing.
.......
The Sui army's sneak attack on Loufu Pass was of great significance, as it not only cut off the supply channel of the Turkic army, but also cut off the way for the Turkic army to return north, which had an extremely significant impact on the entire war situation in Bingzhou.
Two days later, Chu Luo Khan received the news of the loss of Lou Fu Pass, which made him furious, and his henchman General Broza was also seriously injured by an arrow, and finally died, which made Chu Luo Khan even more upset, and he vented his anger on Kang Xuanli, it was Kang Xuanli's negligence and incompetence that enabled the Sui army to sneak attack Lou Fu Guan.
He believed that the Sui army had broken through from the north, and that it was a hole in Kang's defenses that caused the Sui army to attack the Lou Fu Pass.
At the same time, Chuluo Khan began to retreat north and began to retreat slowly.
In fact, there was no need for Luo Khan's urging, and Kang Sheli also discovered that Lou Fu Pass had changed hands a day later, and the chief general who guarded Lou Fu Pass, Du Le, was his confidant, and every day at dusk, Du Le would send a soldier to report to him that he was safe, and at the same time light a pile of wolf smoke to indicate that the pass was safe and sound.
But the next day, at dusk, although the pass was lit with wolf smoke as usual, but the soldiers who came to deliver the letter were gone, Kang Sheli faintly realized that something had happened to Lou Fu Pass, he did not wait for dawn, and sent an army of 5,000 people to the city to test the city that night, but was attacked by a rain of arrows at the head of the city, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and Kang Sheli was sure that Lou Fu Pass had been lost.
In the big tent, Kang Xuanli was extremely anxious, just yesterday he got the news of Zihe, the Sui army burned the Zihe camp, and the 10,000 receiving army was wiped out, which made him realize that the Sui army was likely to go north to the Turkic court, he had just sent someone to report to the Khan, but Lou Fu was unexpectedly lost.
The reason why the northern Turkic army was not stationed close to Lou Fan Pass was because they needed water, and Kang Sheli had to protect not only the northern part of Lou Fan Pass, but also the millions of cattle and sheep needed by the Turkic army, and a tributary of the Sanggan River was twenty miles north of Lou Fu Pass.
Although Yangma City has a water source, in order to ensure that Lou Fu Pass is not lost, Kang Sheli sent another 20,000 troops, stationed on the roads leading to Lou Fu Pass, as long as there is an army from the north close to Lou Fu Pass, it will inevitably be discovered by the Turkic army.
Despite all the efforts of Kang Sheli, the Sui army still captured the Lou Fu Pass from the south, which put the Turkic army into a huge passivity, and was already in a situation of being divided and surrounded by the Sui army.
However, Khamlilu was slightly relieved that he still had an army of 60,000 under his command, which was the foresight of the Khan, and he had a heavy army in Mayi County, so that they would have a chance to recapture Lou Fu Pass.
At this time, a soldier reported outside the tent, "General, they are coming!" ”
"Let them in!"
In a moment, a group of generals walked into the big tent one after another, Kang Sheli's army was more mixed, except for 15,000 Turkic soldiers, the rest of the army was all Tiele army, and it was not Tiele's servant army to plunder wealth and women in the south, so these Tiele troops were left in the north and handed over to Commander Kang Sheli.
The generals of Tiele were gossiping and talking, and they also heard the news of the accident in Lou Fuguan, which made everyone feel a trace of panic in their hearts.
At this time, Kang Shealy coughed heavily, and the big tent slowly quieted down, and Kang Sheli said: "Presumably everyone knows the news of the accident at Lou Fu Pass, I want to tell you that this is a loophole in the southern defense, and it has nothing to do with us, although we are more than ten miles away from Lou Fu Pass, but all the passages are blocked by us, and it is difficult for the Sui army to fly over, so the responsibility is not ours, it is the responsibility of Buzaro, please rest assured." ”
Kang Sheli first had to clear his responsibilities and stabilize everyone's emotions, but he changed the topic and said in an accentuated tone: "Although the pass is lost and we are not responsible, but Lou Fu Guan is very important, our main force will be trapped in the state and cannot come back, and the food cannot be sent over, the consequences are extremely serious, the situation is extremely critical, we must recapture Lou Fu Pass at all costs!" ”
At this time, Ah Cai, the leader of the Sijie Tribe, asked, "May I ask the general, I heard that the Zihe army has been wiped out, is this news true?" (To be continued.) )
