Chapter 117
Yu Ban thought for a moment and said: "In this case, in the coming day, you will personally go out to convince your brothers, after we control the Xianbei monarch, we will support the king of Han as the new monarch, and your brothers are naturally in power, can this be called?" ”
"If so, very well. It's just that when the Han army enters the city, you must promise not to kill the soldiers and civilians in vain. Wei Tuling said,
"That's natural, my Han army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and how can it be a murderous maniac. The general can rest assured of this. Yu Ban said.
Then, Yu Ban kept Wei Tuling in the camp tent and didn't let him go. Wei Tuling naturally asked where the elite army was going, and Yu Ban told him that the army was out to patrol, because he was afraid that his brother would come with soldiers to rob the camp, so he had to guard against it.
When Wei Tuling heard this, he secretly said in his heart, this Yu Ban is really well prepared, if his brother and brother bring troops to rob the camp, I am afraid that they will not be able to get any bargain. It wasn't until the moon was empty that Yu Ban ended the conversation with Yu Tuling and let everyone rest. Wei Tuling found that during the conversation, many of the generals inside did not come in after leaving the city, and there was the sound of soldiers and horses coming and going outside from time to time. But he couldn't come out, so he could only secretly pray in his heart that his brother would not come to rob the camp, otherwise he would definitely be ambushed.
Wei Tuling came out of Yu Ban's tent, and as soon as he returned to his tent, his adviser walked in with a sad look on his face. Wei Tuling knew that he also saw that Yu Ban was setting up an ambush, and before he could speak, the strategist said in a panic: "General, it's not good, the Han army is setting up an ambush." ”
Yu Tuling said quietly: "I know the truth, but there is no way to inform my eldest brother of them. I hope they don't think about robbing the camp. ”
The strategist shook his head and said: "General, this is impossible, if it is ordinary, naturally it may not come, but we have already released the news that there are no combat generals in the forbidden army, and General Wei Tuwu will definitely come to rob the camp, this is a great opportunity, no one will miss this opportunity." ”
Wei Tuling said gloomily: "Although there are really no generals in this army who can fight, and there is only one of them, but he has not officially fought with any general, and I don't know what his strength is." But we have been in the Han army camp for so long, and we don't know that they have such an elite cavalry, and when I look at them, they are all excellent soldiers with a dozen or ten, and our soldiers are outdated in equipment, and in front of them, there is no resistance at all. ”
"But it's too late, and we've been told we can't just go out." The advisor said.
Wei Tuling got up and walked to the door of the tent, and only a few steps later, the soldier stopped him and said, "The general has an order, for your safety, you must not come and go at will." ”
Wei Tuling said: "General Yu Ban let me come and go in the camp at will, even if I want to leave, I can leave at any time, how dare you restrict my freedom, are you going to disobey the military order?" Your generals are strict in governing the army, do you know what the consequences of disobeying military orders are? ”
The soldier said without humility or arrogance: "I'm sorry, I just said that I really carried out the military orders of the vanguard general." For the sake of your safety, you are not allowed to leave the camp tonight, you have already taken refuge in our Han army, and we must be responsible for your lives. ”
Wei Tuling was very angry, but he had no choice but to retreat into the camp with hatred. He and the advisors discussed the situation of Yu Ban's army, and so far, how much of their situation was unclear? That little gatekeeper was actually a deputy lieutenant, and in today's battle, he actually defeated two generals in Xianbei. And there are such well-prepared troops in the forbidden army, but they have never known what to do.
Wei Tuling really felt that this Han army was a little terrifying, they were too deeply hidden, if they didn't use any unpredictable tricks, I was afraid that it would be really difficult to resist them, and now it was only the vanguard troops here, and when their large army arrived, I don't know if the army of Xianbei could resist. Although Yu Ban said it was very tempting, but the most vanguard general could not really do this kind of surrender and betrayal of the country.
Just thinking about it, I only heard the gongs and drums outside shaking the sky, and the horses' hooves bursting, it was really the Xianbei army that came to rob the camp. Wei Tuling's heart was cold, and he sighed that his brother came at this moment, and it must be in the name of being captured, although he has many soldiers, but in terms of the ability to break through, he is not as good as himself.
"General, what should we do?" The advisor asked.
Wei Tuling sighed secretly, and said quietly: "What else, sit quietly again, wait for my brother to be captured, it can be regarded as a reunion of our brothers, just ask the Han army not to kill him." When the strategist heard this, his face was also sad, and he walked quickly, then sat still, and walked quickly.
He also thought that the Han army might be on guard, but he was too numerous to clash with the enemy. And he sent people and soldiers to divide into three roads, all the way around the back of the Han army camp, from behind the attack, all the way in the road ambush, if the enemy is really invincible, then the Han army to chase, and then attack together, will definitely be able to defeat the Han army.
Let's say that Wei Tuwu, the person is tied to the hooves of the horse, and he quietly intends to sneak attack. I never thought that before I arrived in front of the walled gate, there was a burst of fire in front, and suddenly an army was killed, headed by a person, holding a spear, to straddle the sword, riding a black-maned horse, with a red tassel in his pocket, very dazzling, this person is really a pioneer general in the ban.
"Bold thieves, dare to attack my camp at night, and don't surrender quickly." Yu Ban said loudly on the horse.
Wei Tuwu strangled his mount, thinking secretly in his heart, this Yu Ban was really cautious, and actually led the troops to wait here, could he be sure that he would come back and sneak attack, and asked: "Is it Yu Ban in front?" ”
Yu Ban laughed loudly: "I know that the Tao is me, and I dare to attack, you really don't want to die?" ”
When Wei Tuwu heard this, he was furious and said, "I'm here to capture you." After speaking, he commanded the army to rush over. Yu Ban clamped his legs, and also commanded the army to fight with great spirits. In the firelight, the two fought for more than 50 rounds. When the battle reached more than 80 rounds, Wei Tuwu gradually felt that his sledgehammer was at a loss in front of Yu Ban's spear, and he was a little numb, but Yu Ban had the tendency to become more and more brave the more he fought. I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart: "This pioneer of the Han army is really powerful." Since the sneak attack can't be successful, let's wait for the withdrawal of troops first. ”
Thinking of this, Wei Tuwu turned his horse's head and ordered a retreat. Yu Ban would let them go and ordered the soldiers to pursue. Wei Tuling knew that Yu Ban was chasing, but he was secretly happy in his heart, because there was his own ambush of 1,000 people five miles ahead, and if Yu Ban chased there, he would be ambushed, but he could be surrounded and killed.
Walking to the ambush place, Wei Tuling went straight through, and the Yu Ban army also pursued directly. However, after all the forbidden troops entered, there was still no movement from the ambush soldiers. Just as he was startled, suddenly there was a burst of anger in front of him, and a group of troops came out.
Wei Tuwu was very angry in his heart, whether he remembered the location of the ambush by mistake, or the general in charge of the ambush moved the ambush location without permission, and it was considered to have moved, so he had to wait for Yu Ban to come over and surround it again, how could he kill it now.
But when he stepped forward, Wei Tuwu was almost frightened and fell off his horse, how could that army be his own army, but the Han army, and the first general was Deng Zhong, who saved Zhao Qi by archery during the day.
Wei Tuwu saw Deng Zhong and asked, "Where are our soldiers?" ”
Deng Zhong said: "Those ambushes of yours have all been destroyed by me. After speaking, a person who was knocked unconscious was pulled out from the side of the horse, and it was the deputy general Peng Ye Zhengzheng. Deng Zhong said: "The thief will see that I am not ready to surrender quickly. ”
Wei Tuwu was furious, and came up with his soldiers to kill the general, and after fighting for less than twenty rounds, he found that his soldiers were screaming and falling, but the army led by Deng Zhong was killing his own soldiers like cutting vegetables. Look at their equipment, holding halberds in their hands, carrying a long bow on their shoulders, carrying a sword at their waists, and a short dagger on their high combat boots.
Hearing that Yu was chasing after the forbidden army, Wei Tuwu did not dare to fight, and fled with the remnants of the soldiers. Looking back, only a dozen soldiers followed, and the rest were all killed.
Wei Tuwu was horrified in his heart, his own 8,000 troops, 2,000 left in the camp, 6,000 brought out, 1,000 ambushes, all of them were killed by Deng Zhong's troops, and the 5,000 troops he brought with him are now only a dozen people following, and he can't help shouting in his heart Is this Han army possessed by heavenly soldiers, how can it be so good.
Later, Deng Zhong and Yu Ban continued to lead the troops to chase and kill, and chased them straight to the front of Wei Tuwu's camp. Wei Tuling returned to the gate of the camp, shouted loudly, and asked the soldiers to open the door, who knew that a burst of rockets was fired, the gate of the village opened, and a general came out, headed by a general, with a square face in the national character, a beard in eight characters, and a horizontal eyebrow of the silkworm, looking majestic, holding a long knife, and being majestic. This person is Gao Shun, as early as when the Yellow Turban was in trouble, he followed Zu Zhaotong to resist the Yellow Turban Army, and later as the leader of the elite cavalry, he was strong in martial arts, and he once competed with Zhang Pre and Zu Ping for 300 rounds without winning or losing. Later, he learned the art of war from Chen Youzhi, and learned from Feng Luoxue to fight in the rivers and lakes, but he has been in secret training and has never been in battle.
"Who are you? Where is our army? Wei Tuwu asked in surprise.
"I am the Zhonglang general Gao Shun, your military camp has been robbed by me, you have no way to retreat now, why don't you surrender quickly?" Gao Shun said.
Wei Tuwu stared at the soldiers beside Gao Shun, there were only less than two hundred soldiers, and the equipment was exactly the same as the army led by Deng Zhong before, all of them looked mighty, tall and big, tigers and tigers, and they were fearful without a fight.
"Your less than 200 soldiers robbed and killed 2,000 soldiers in my camp?" Wei Tuwu asked in disbelief.
Gao Shun smiled and said, "That's true, you don't surrender quickly." If I Gao Shun is like this again, do you still want to escape? ”
Wei Tuwu had never heard the name of Gao Shun, because before Wei Tuling almost knew the names of the big and small lieutenants in the Han army, but he had never heard of this Gao Shun, and he disdained it in his heart, and rushed to kill him with his horse, taking Gao Shun. I saw Gao Shun driving the mount, swinging the knife to kill, the first round of the confrontation, Wei Tuwu was shocked in his heart, this Gao Shun charged bravely, like a dead soldier. After fighting for more than ten rounds, Wei Tuwu was even more panicked in his heart, this Gao Shun's courage was no longer under the ban. Hearing that Yu Ban and Deng Zhong were chasing after him with their troops, Wei Tuwu didn't dare to fight, so he rode his horse and fled.
As soon as he escaped less than ten zhang, he was caught up by Gao Shun and intercepted and killed. At this moment, Yu Ban and Deng Zhong also surrounded them, and Wei Tuwu fought with all his might, and was finally captured and brought back to the camp of the Han army. Wei Tuling heard that the Han army was coming back, and hurriedly came out to visit, but at this moment the Han army guards did not hinder him, try it, at the beginning of the battle, the guards allowed them to enter and exit freely,
Wei Tuling came to the door, and when he saw that his eldest brother Wei Tuwu was really captured, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and stood in place and watched the Han army come in. Gao Shun took Yu Tuwu to Yu Tuling's side, put him down, and said, "You brothers have a good gathering." With that, he led the soldiers and left.
Yu Ban came up, dismounted and said: "General Wei Tuling, we didn't embarrass your brother, whether to go or stay, we don't force it, you can talk to him." After that, he left.
Wei Tuwu was very shocked when he saw the generals of the Han army like this, he thought that the Han army would humiliate him or force him to surrender, but he actually left him to negotiate with his younger brother? It's really incredible, if you want to say that they are arrogant, they do have this strength, two hundred soldiers killed him two thousand soldiers, it's really unimaginable.
Wei Tuling took his brother into the camp, and when the two met, they were both sad and happy in their hearts, happy that everyone had nothing to do, and sad that both brothers were caught by the enemy. After talking for a while, Wei Tuwu suddenly said coldly: "Second brother, you have been in the Han military camp for a long time, why is it not mentioned in the intelligence that they have such an army with elder brothers who are all at the level of generals, and their equipment is even better than that of generals?" ”
Wei Tuling sighed and said: "Brother is strange, I only saw such an army when they sent out their troops tonight, I used to walk around in their barracks and observe at will, but I have never seen such an army, and I have never seen the person who took you off the horse just now." ”
"His name is Zhang Shun, and he robbed my camp with 200 elite armor soldiers, and more than 2,000 soldiers in our army were killed, and more than 800 were killed, and all the rest were captured. I've fought him for forty or fifty rounds, and I've found that his abilities are not at all forbidden. Wei Tuwu said.
"Could it be that their leader, Zu Zhao, has led the army here? I heard that the guy sent troops unpredictable, before the Silla queen Jeon Zhiyu brought an army to help him was completely destroyed by Goguryeo, and then offended him, he quickly broke through all the defenses of Goguryeo. Wei Tuling said.
"No way, if their army arrives, it is impossible for our spies to know the way. This elite unit, our spies can't detect it, and you don't know the way, it can only show that they are usually dressed like ordinary soldiers, and they are so powerful when they attack. Wei Tuwu said.
Wei Tuling thought about it, and only in this way could it make sense, and said: "This is very in line with the methods of the Han army. The Zhao Qi who punished the two generals of our army in the daytime actually disguised himself as a guard, the Han army is really cunning, no wonder he dared to leave me in the barracks. ”
"Could it be that they know that you are pretending to surrender?" Wei Tuwu asked.
"Whether you know the way or don't know the way, doesn't the fourth brother mean to lead them deeper? Twenty miles from now is the border city of our country, and then the fourth brother will definitely have a plan to break them, and since you are also captured, brother, then surrender to them. I think they are very arrogant, and they don't mind whether we are real or not, lest they insult my brother. Wei Tuling said.
Wei Tuwu sighed and said, "That's the only way." However, as long as they dare to attack the city, then even if they have any elite cavalry, they will definitely be defeated. ”
Wei Tuling was stunned for a moment, and then went down again, and asked, "Could it be that my brother is saying?"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Tuwu shook his head at her and told him not to say it. Wei Tuling tacitly understood it, and naturally knew that he had said it, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Later, he told Wei Tuwu all the thoughts of the Han army, in order to let him have something to say when the Han army recruited him, so that the Han army felt that each other's thoughts were the same.
The next day, Yu Ban really took a group of vice-presidents, and the two brothers saw Yu Ban coming, they had already discussed, Yu Tuling said that he had persuaded his brother, and Yu Tuwu looked arrogant, it seems that you can kill it, and if you want me to vote, it's okay, but I have the conditions.
"General Wei Tuwu, are you willing to surrender to our army?" Yu Ban asked.
"What good shall I do to you?" Wei Tuwu asked coldly.
Yu Bandao: "I have already told Brother Ling that we are not going to occupy your land, let alone plunder, but to help you defeat the unkind monarch." You know better than we do about the deeds of your kings. After you have established a new monarch, as long as you promise not to invade our Han, then we will withdraw our troops immediately, and we will not invade your country in the future, and our two countries will form an alliance to jointly develop the economy and jointly resist the invasion of other countries, and you can also control the real power, increase the official and promote the knighthood, and pay homage to the prime minister. ”
Wei Tuwu smiled: "It sounds very tempting, but how do I know that what you said is true?" ”
Yu Ban also smiled slightly, and said: "This is our original intention to send troops, but now you don't believe us and we won't force you to believe it, if the general surrenders, we welcome it, if the general does not surrender, then we will not embarrass the general, but if we break your army at that time, then the treatment will be different." ”
"Are you threatening me?" Wei Tuwu asked coldly.
Yu Ban smiled: "The general is serious, this is not a threat, just to explain the situation." Imagine if you surrender and persuade your brothers and brothers to surrender as well, there will be less killing, and once you have a new king who is highly respected and respected for the country, you will be able to realize your own value. ”
Wei Tuwu thought for a while, agreed to surrender, and was willing to persuade his brother and brother to surrender as well. Yu Ban was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring wine, meat, and food for Wei Tuwu to eat. Wei Tuwu drank the wine of the Han army, and he was full of praise, such wine, they naturally did not have it. There was a brewing technique introduced to Xianbei before, but it didn't know the essentials, so it was very unpleasant. Unbeknownst to them, this wine was obtained by Zu Zhao's special provision of recipes and improved brewing techniques.
