Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 280 The flames are rising and the smoke is scattered
This is a full hour, Gong Fu will say all the pros and cons, Ye Chang finally made up his mind: "Okay, you can rest in my camp for the time being, and let you go back to the Khitan army tomorrow, if you can say that the troops attached to the Khitan will rebel, then this battle of Liaodong, remember your first merit, I will play the court to ensure your wealth"
"Ye Sima really saw a thousand miles" Gong Fu slapped his thigh excitedly: "Please rest assured, just wait for my good news"
"Then it's decided." Ye Chang didn't drag the mud and water: "You go down to rest first"
Tong Mu Ding went out with Gong Fucai, and Zhang Hao rushed over angrily, and when he saw the two of them, he shouted: "Sure enough, Linu is treacherous, and wants to take advantage of my absence to go to Meng Sima Hu."
Tong Mu Ding seemed to be afraid of him, bowed his head and said nothing, but Gong Fu laughed: "The rotten Confucianism has no plan to break the enemy, so he is bent on blocking the virtuous road, and does not want others to make meritorious contributions, I am ashamed, I don't want you to see you."
After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, and Tong Mu Ding followed him, and walked for a while, hearing Zhang Hao scolding behind him, obviously, he was shocked by Gong Fu's words.
When he returned to his residence, he praised him: "Senior brother is so eloquent, and one sentence will make that guy angry."
"You don't blame Senior Brother for offending your colleagues."
"What kind of colleague shouts at me like a slave on weekdays, I just don't want to deal with him." Tong Mu Ding said: "However, he found out that we were looking for Ye Sima at night, but I am afraid that we will slander in front of Ye Sima again." ”
Gong Fu thought about it for a while, and said, "You go and inquire and see if Ye Sima has been moved by him." ”
At first, he was very polite to Tong Mu Ding, but at this time, he began to speak in the tone of an envoy. Tong Mu Ding laughed at it, went out to pretend to inquire, and came back after a while and said: "Senior brother, that guy broke up with Ye Sima unhappily, your sentence 'Blocking the virtuous road and not wanting others to make meritorious contributions, Ye Sima heard it"
Yusuke laughed.
He felt that this trip to the Tang camp was full of gains, not only to find out the reality of the Tang army, to make friends with Mou Ding, but also to divide the relationship between Ye Chang and his advisers and staff, and most importantly, to induce Ye Chang to believe that he had the ability to make the tribes dependent on the Khitan defect. Therefore, when he left this morning, he could be said to be full of ambition and returned to the Khitan camp, full of energy.
Originally, they thought that he was also a certain death, but they stared at him one by one, watching him proudly show off in front of him, and some people couldn't help but say: "Didn't you betray our army's secrets and exchange your life for a dog's life?" ”
"Nonsense, my loyalty to Direk Khan can be seen from the sun and the moon, how can you think of it"
"Then did you see that Ye Chang in the Tang military camp, and what did you say to him?"
Di Lie was also very curious, and when he heard the various leaders of his subordinates urging questions, he did not speak. Gong Fu sneered: "This matter is extremely confidential, and I can only say that I can listen to Di Lie Khan...... Shall ye hear?"
Everyone immediately scolded angrily, but Yusuke regarded it as a boast to himself. Di Liha smiled and waved his hand: "You guys stand down first, let me hear what news he brought." ”
After those Khitan leaders retreated, Gong Fu told the story of this trip, and when he first heard that the Tang Dynasty would have 50,000 troops to Liaodong, Di Lie was frightened, but he heard Gong Fu's plan for a quick battle, and he pondered for a while: "This matter ...... Is it fake? ”
"There is no falsehood, I have heard and seen with my own ears"
If so...... No, you have to test and tempt again, you go again tomorrow, if there is no flaw, make an appointment with it, and we will fight under the city of Jian'an Prefecture in four days."
"Yes"
Gong Fu ran to the Tang camp again, and it was another rhetoric, agreeing to fight under the city of Jian'anzhou. After he brought back the quasi-letter, Di Lie was still not at ease, and sent a scout to check, and found that the Tang army had indeed pulled out the camp and advanced, and he was overjoyed at the moment.
"This battle will be won," he smiled and said to Gong Fu: "The army that Ye Chang is waiting for is turning against him, I don't know what his expression will be when he arrives."
"After defeating him, grab the other man and make him put on a show for the Great Khan."
After laughing, Di Lie ordered: "Pass the order, wine and meat will be rewarded, and wait for the big battle"
This is the habit of the Khitan people, they do not have the rules of prohibiting alcohol in the army, before the war, they can only fight if they are full of food and drink. However, because of the big battle in the coming day, the Khitan did not besiege Ancheng that day, but collected the troops and returned to the camp and rested early.
In the middle of the night, a group of dark shadows quietly approached the Khitan camp.
Because of the preparations for the coming Japanese war, the Khitan was much more relaxed than usual on this night's defense. Moreover, it is impossible for a large camp of 60,000 people to be gathered in one place, but it is based on the mixture of their respective tribes. The group of dark shadows scattered into the middle, and no one even asked.
This group of black shadows scattered in all directions, and after a while, they saw that there were fires in all directions, and when the sleeping Khitan army was awakened, they saw the flames everywhere, and there were shouts of killing in all directions
"Enemy Attack"
Everyone immediately realized this, but the more they tried to understand the reason, the more confused it became. In the darkness, although there is a firelight, but in a hurry, where can you see who is who, not to mention, the 60,000 coalition troops of the Khitans are simply a rabble, and many of them are old, young, women and children who follow the nomads, they panicked and became chaotic, and led their own tribes to chaos, and then the entire coalition army was chaotic.
More and more fires were lit, and chaos spread from one camp to another, even in a camp where no one had infiltrated, and there was a camp roar, and those who were awakened from their snoring instinctively slashed with their knives at anyone who approached them
Gong Fu was also awakened, he put on his clothes and got up, looking at the flames around him, he knew that something was wrong, and rushed towards the Chinese army camp. On the way, I saw that the Khitan people themselves were killed by the camp roar, and I was even more frightened, and finally arrived outside Di Lie's camp tent and saw Di Lie whipping a few dazed Khitans.
"Great Khan, things are not good...... We...... We've been hit," said Yusuke, trembling.
Di Lie glared at him hatefully, where could he not understand now, he had been tricked
The Tang people clearly did not plan to fight again tomorrow, they made a plan for a night attack from the beginning, and the bow and auxiliary rushed back and forth, seemingly spied on the reality of the Tang army, but in fact it was used by the Tang people to cover up their true intentions
This is a plan in a plan, both sides are fighting wits, but Tang Ren's chess is a better move.
However, Di Lie is a good person, although he hates that the bow and auxiliary plan cannot be used, but it is used by the enemy, but he is not deeply surprised, but shouts to the guards around him: "Go and gather people, let's go"
In this case, it would be a fool's dream to turn the tide, and Di Lie didn't know what the true number of the Tang Army was now, if the Tang people were given the opportunity to kill him in front of him and kill him, it would really be all over.
He seized his horse and fled, with only a few hundred guards with him, and fled far away, looking back at the camp, only to see fire everywhere. The crying and screaming were faintly heard, and Di Lie sighed: "Tang people......"
"In today's plan, the only way to do this is to collect the defeated troops first, and then go back to Anshi Prefecture, we still have some horses in Anshi Prefecture, and most of the gains from this southern expedition are also in Anshi Prefecture, as long as we gather men and horses, bring these wealth, let's go back to Gaimu Prefecture, it is still a big victory." Gong Fu said in a trembling voice: "If there are really reinforcements in the Tang Dynasty, we will ask for surrender when the reinforcements arrive...... Anyway, the most favorite thing for the Son of Heaven in Datang is face, as long as he is given some face, I think we can still recuperate in the land of Liaobei. ”
Di Lie has nothing to do at this time, after this battle, those dependent departments will obviously be scattered, relying only on his own department, not to say that he may not be able to collect it, even if it is collected, there are only less than 20,000 people, and it is impossible to attack the south.
Please make peace, please make peace, anyway, the Khitan did not think about fighting with the Central Plains Dynasty at this time, and it was not a shameful thing to ask for peace.
He withdrew more than fifty miles after retreating, and then scattered his men out of the army, gathered the defeated troops and did not mention them. In the city of Jian'an Prefecture, he had long been awakened by the sound of fighting and fire outside, after hearing the news, the city lord Gao Ji hurriedly went to the city, and looked down at the wall, only to see the Khitan camp five or six miles away, full of sporadic firelight, and in this silent night, the screams and cries were extremely harsh.
"It's ...... The Tang reinforcements have arrived," Gao Ji was so excited that his hands were trembling.
"Are reinforcements really coming?"
Although the Khitans have not yet come up with all their strength to attack the city in the past few days, the pressure on Jian'an Zhou City has already made the soldiers in the city unbearable. They waited hard for the legendary Tang reinforcements, but only seven or eight days ago, they waited for a Goguryeo man who claimed to be the envoy of the reinforcements, and they were silent again. In Jian'an Prefecture, in fact, there were already people secretly thinking about whether to surrender the city, but they never thought that on such a night, the Tang reinforcements appeared in such a way that they didn't expect.
"Kaesong, let's fight together," Gao Ji ordered.
"Wait, stabbing history, don't do it." The strategists beside him were shocked and came up to persuade: "What if the Khitans tempted me to open the city?" And it's not a Khitan, this black light is blind and kills out, and collides with the Tang Heavenly Army, how to identify it? ”
"Yes, yes, you're right"
Gao Ji Fangcai was too excited to forget about this stubble, he looked at the Khitan camp for a while, thinking about it and feeling uneasy: "But I will wait in the city to watch the Tang Heavenly Army and the Khitan people fighting, I am afraid that after the victory, the Tang Heavenly Army will be blamed......"
"Thorn Shi can prepare wine and rice, and go out of the city to reward after the victory of the Tang Heavenly Army, and prepare more goods...... Naturally, be prepared to respond. And the counsellor said.
Although everyone is very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, if there is a case, maybe they will have to meet the city so that the Tang army can enter the city to rest.
"Okay, recruit me five hundred warriors, and prepare them under the city to receive them, as well as food, drinks, and property...... Let the rich people in the city come out, if the Khitans break through the city, they will have nothing, and the Tang Heavenly Army is fighting for them"
Everything was arranged, and the people who received it also went out of the city, and they were in battle under the city, and Gao Ji looked at the prime minister at the head of the city, just waiting for the arrival of the Tang army. But until the east turned white, the sound of fighting outside was quiet, but no one was seen coming.
This made him gradually disappointed, could it be that the Tang army was killed and retreated by the Khitans and failed to break the camp? Or is that lively scene just now, just a scene performed by the Khitans themselves in order to lure them out of the city?
"What should I do?" He looked again at his counsellors.
"Send a warrior to investigate." That's all the counsellor can say.
The so-called warriors, naturally, were recruited by heavy rewards, and they rode fast horses to the direction of the Khitan camp, Gao Ji was still at the head of the city, and after a while, he saw these warriors galloping back.
"What's wrong, what's going on?"
"Dead people, dead people in one place" The faces of several warriors were like dirt.
"What's all the fuss, there are fewer dead people in the city these days?" Gao Ji was very dissatisfied: "Let's make it clear"
"Thorn history, it's not that we're making a fuss, it's really that there are too many dead people, all over the place, and the blood has accumulated into puddles"
Hearing this, Gao Ji's heart jumped suddenly: "It's clear that it's a Tang person...... Are they still Khitans? ”
"It's not a Tang person, I haven't seen any Tang corpses."
If it's not the Tang people, then it proves that at least the Tang people didn't suffer a lot of losses. Gao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and said strangely: "You only see the dead, but you don't see the living?" ”
"This ......"
It turned out that they were afraid when they saw a dead person in the land, and ran straight back, Gao Ji was furious, reprimanded, and sent them again.
This time they finally brought back the living, and when they returned, they were accompanied by five or six Tang troops in bloody battle robes. When these Tang troops arrived at the city, they looked up: "But Jian'an Prefecture assassinated Gao Gong?" ”
"Exactly, you strong men are warriors under Ye Sima's account?"
"Yes, our department has defeated the Khitan coalition army, and my family Sima pursued it overnight, so let's come to find Gao Gong at dawn and borrow some people from Gao Gong."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Khitan has really been defeated?"
"The big defeat, I just counted it, and more than six thousand were killed last night, so Gao Gong can rest easy."
Hearing this, Gao Ji was overjoyed, thanked the Buddha for his gratitude, and then lifted his spirits: "Since the Khitan is defeated, we should help Ye Sima - come to the city, open the city, gather all the people and horses, and go out of the city to fight the thieves"
Although his heart is to the Tang Dynasty, but more to himself, the Khitan people went south this time, even broke through the Liaodong Prefectures, looted countless goods, although most of them were accumulated in Anshi Prefecture, but those easy to carry gold and silver, there must be a lot of around. At this time, it is time to go and grab the loot.
He went out of the city with his whole army, but he was majestic, but the Tang army ignored him and only cared about talking and laughing quietly. After leaving the city with more than 2,000 people, it didn't take long for him to arrive on the battlefield, and a thick bloody breath came to his nose, making Gao Ji almost vomit.
Then he saw a scene that made him lose his soul.
The person who inquired about the news said that there were corpses everywhere, but he didn't say enough details, strictly speaking, there were naked corpses everywhere. Some Tang troops were digging pits to bury the stripped dead, but Gao Ji still saw mountains of corpses.
