In Yuyang.

Gao Kaidao quickly led all the soldiers, threw down a plundered material, and rushed to Yuyang: his family foundation is here, if Yuyang is lost, Li Tang will not tolerate him, and the Turks will not let him go. In any case, this Yuyang must be taken back. And you only get one chance.

Li Tangqi did not attack many soldiers and horses in Yuyang, and with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, it was still possible to break the deadlock. As long as the Tang soldiers behind him rush to Yuyang to support, and recapture Yuyang, Yiqiē is under control again.

Smoking the horsewhip, Gao Kaidao remembered what the Xi clan had done, and still couldn't help but scold: "Ungrateful guy, if I Gao Kaidao escapes this catastrophe, you don't want to take advantage of it in the future." ”

Gao Kaidao came to Yuyang without stopping, and was thinking about launching an offensive immediately, but found that the huge Yuyang was not even the city gate, and there was no one in the long street in the city gate.

"This ......"

Gao Kaidao was a little dumbfounded, and asked the love general beside him in amazement: "What do you think?" Is there an empty city? It's not right, if it's an empty city, there should be Zhuge Liang, it's nothing, when I'm a three-year-old child? He said mockery, but the truth was that he didn't dare to move, which frightened him. Along the way, he was thinking about the method of siege more than once, thinking about how to take Yuyang in the shortest possible time. There are more than a dozen sets of play plans demonstrated in my mind, and there is no doubt that each one is a fast attack, and I immediately go into battle.

But Tang Jun put on this scene, breaking all his plans, but he didn't dare to move, worried that the city would be ambushed. put his own few more than 10,000 soldiers and horses into it.

Zhang Junli also looked puzzled and said: "It may be that they are suspicious and scare us, they shouldn't have many soldiers and horses?" His tone was also full of hesitation. The current situation is too weird, and the weirdness makes the already small IQ in his head not enough in an instant.

Gao Kaidao nodded cautiously and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense, or General Zhang will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to go in and have a look, and the Lone King will support in the back." ”

Zhang Junli was startled, and shouted in a hurry: "There may be no other mystery." It is better to go around the east gate and avoid the south gate. ”

Gao Kaidao also felt reasonable, and raised his whip. The army came to the east gate in a mighty way.

"Embarrassed!"

The expressions of Gao Kaidao and the generals changed instantly, becoming extremely ugly, this east gate is the same as the south gate, there is no difference.

"Let's go. Go to the North Gate! Gao Kaidao gritted his teeth. Turn north again.

"Embarrassment!"

The north gate is still the same, not that the city gate is wide open, but that there is no such thing as the city gate, and the street is empty. Yuyang is not a populous town, but there is not even a figure in this daylight.

Gao Kaidao's big face, which was originally like a big pie, became bigger and rounder.

Xie Ling said softly: "King Yan, should we turn to the north gate?" ”

Gao Kaidao was angry, raised his hand and whipped it over and scolded: "Turn your grandmother's leg ......"

Xie Ling suddenly felt a sharp pain like a tear in his cheek. I was angry in my heart, but I didn't dare to express it. Gao Kaidao was originally born as a local tyrant in Yanhu, and he was agile and brave. Grumpy, often beating and scolding his subordinates, if he dares to show the slightest dissatisfaction, he may be a corpse.

Gao Kaidao whipped out, angry and uneasy, and even more worried in his heart, looking at Xie Ling, who was covering his face and hurting, he suddenly thought that he was the one who led the Xi clan to attack Tang, and the culprit who caused this qiē was him, and said with a hideous smile: "General Xie, you are responsible for contacting the Xi clan, and now it has become like this." The lonely king sees that you are hard to blame, and gives you a chance to make meritorious contributions. Lone will give you a hundred people, kill into the city, and explore the truth. ”

Xie Ling saw that Gao Kaidao's color was gloomy, and a desolate feeling welled up in his heart, knowing that if he didn't agree to this little life, he would hand it over here, so he gritted his teeth and said hello, and rode out of the hundred horses to bombard the city......

Until this moment, Gao Kaidao knew that there was not a single Tang soldier in the city at all. The reason for the small number of people is that Su Dingfang preached that the war was imminent, and the people took refuge in the city one after another, so that the huge city was like a dead city.

"Embarrassment!"

When Gao Kaidao, Zhang Junli, and Zhang Jinshu learned of the facts, they thought that they were facing an empty city, and the ridiculous behavior of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses almost circling the city, all of them had a big red face, and they couldn't wait to stick their heads into the ground.

Xie Ling's body trembled, and he almost laughed out loud.

This is their big swallow.

Gao Kaidao forcibly took over Yuyang calmly, and sent scouts from all sides to inquire about the intelligence of the Tang Army.

Only then did he discover that Li Tang intended to be in the Xi clan, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

Zhang Junli said suddenly: "Su Dingfang drove away the people, demolished the four gates, and destroyed all our city defense equipment. After doing this qiē, he rushed to the Snake Valley. It shows that they are killing two birds with one stone. Yuyang has no danger to defend now, so it is better for us to have a surprise attack. Go around to the rear of Luo Shixin's army, make a dumpling for the Tang army, and let them taste it too? ”

"Fart!" Gao Kaidao is also experienced in a hundred battles, so he naturally saw Li Tang's intentions, and also knew that what Zhang Junli said made some sense, but the Xi clan treated him like that, and now he asked him to save it, so he said with an iron face: "That group of ungrateful Wang Balamb doesn't care what she does, our purpose is Yuyang." Hold Yuyang, we have a future. ”

As he spoke, he immediately sent someone to ride his thousand-mile horse to the Turks to ask for help as quickly as possible, and then issued an order to repair the city gate and city walls, and made a posture of defending Yuyang. It is bound to be under this Yuyang City with Luo Shixin and Li Tangyi, waiting for the Turkic Lao Tzu to come to help.

Gao Kaidao didn't know that the reinforcements he sent were redundant, and Luo Shixin didn't expect that someone would leak military secrets for personal vendettas, so that the mighty 100,000 Turkic army was already on the way to Yuyang.

The 100,000-strong Turkic army galloped rapidly, raising dust that obscured the sky and the sun like a swarming flood.

**********

The northern entrance to the Valley of the Coiled Snake.

Su Dingfang stood on the cliff and looked at the situation at the foot of the mountain.

They rode lightly and quickly, and arrived at the valley of the snake two days earlier, and came to the mouth of the valley on the other side of the valley.

The terrain of the valley mouth on this side is more steep and dangerous than the southern entrance, and after Su Dingfang took the gate, he learned the art of war and accepted various tactical concepts since he was a child. Far from being comparable to the soldiers on paper, he immediately ordered his soldiers to cut down timber and carry huge rocks as soon as he arrived at the place. After his rigorous exploration of the terrain, in accordance with the topography of the valley, he built three camps with wood and rocks, held the mouth of the valley, and used the terrain to cooperate with the fortifications, even if there were few people, he had the power to fight.

Su Dingfang is a commander-in-chief general with his own thinking and ideas. Therefore, for such a talent, Luo Shixin can not hesitate to hand over to him the arduous task of attacking Yuyang and Ben to the Snake Valley, and let him choose freely according to his talents. He knew that instead of tying Su Dingfang to his strategy and letting him perform the task mechanically, it was better to rank him out of the strategy, and let him cooperate with the achievement of his grand strategy with his own strategy. In this way, all the talents and potentials of Su Dingfang can be perfectly brought into play.

This also means that the opponents of the Xi clan and Gao Kaidao not only have one difficult Luo Shixin, but also Su Dingfang, who is both wise and brave.

There is such a sentence in "The Mirror of the Six Armies" that only with the wisdom of commanding generals can you command the crowd of 10,000 people. It is said that if you want to command the army, the key is not the army, but the generals and colonels who command the army, as long as you can command the lieutenant generals and colonels of the army, and make reasonable use of their wisdom, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, the more the better. On the contrary, even if you have the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, if you can't give full play to the ability that a general should have, it will not help you to give you 100,200,000 military horses.

It was Luo Shixin who did not forget to give full play to the abilities of his subordinates when he used his wits and strategy, especially a great talent like Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang is not a pedantic and inflexible general, after arranging a qiē defense, he took Meng Chao and a few henchmen, from the foot of the entrance of the Snake Valley, next to the broken mountain wall, artificially opened a hiking trail and walked along the cliff. I walked up and down the mountain road for ten miles, until the road ahead was cut off, and a straight mountain peak blocked the way, and there was no way to go.

He was not reluctant to make a detour, so he set up a tent around the perimeter, remotely controlled the soldiers and horses at the entrance to the north, rested on the spot, and waited for the arrival of the Xi tribe.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

Su Dingfang's purpose was to find a high place that would not be discovered by the other party, so that he could observe the whole picture of the valley in order to investigate the movements of the Xi people.

It's just that the distance is too short and I am not satisfied, and there is no extra time to prepare for key things, but it is better than nothing.

After waiting for three days, Su Dingfang finally waited for the arrival of the Xi clan, which was a day and a half faster than expected. Looking at the Xi clan who were in a hurry, he naturally guessed the reason, and secretly praised in his heart: "The general is really good, in the face of the disadvantage of geographical advantages, in the case of only fighting hard, he still gave them a lot of pressure, forcing them to carry heavy objects and travel all the way." ”

He looked at it seriously: the Xi soldiers under the mountain had changed to walking, and one person led two or three load-bearing war horses to pass under the valley with difficulty but quickly. Because they were in a hurry, tens of thousands of people were crowded together, and there were only two or three gaps between them, moving at a certain regular speed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Meng Chao, who came with Su Dingfang, looked at it for a while, smashed his palms with his fists, pointed at the Xi soldiers below and sighed in annoyance: "They didn't expect our ambush soldiers at all, this way of moving is fast and fast, but there can be no accidents." As long as there is an accident, it is a situation of crowding people and horses. If we have more soldiers and horses, we can give them a blow head-on, and keep them in a mess, and they can't control themselves. ”

Su Dingfang also saw it, and felt a pity, but his inspiration suddenly moved, and he laughed: "I have a note, go, they are coming, let's get ready and pick up customers." (To be continued......)
