348 Night-raiding grain and grass
"Here, dig a trap and mark the location."
Hou Junji gave an order, and the soldiers didn't say a word, and immediately dug the cold ice ground, some people chopped with knives, some people poked with lances, and they were in full swing.
There is no enemy nearby, and the generals have not heard any recent battle plans, this is just Hou Junji took a fancy to the terrain here, and suddenly wanted to let people set up a defense line here, for him, it may not be useful now, but it may be used in the future, so he asked his subordinates to set up a trap here that may be used and may never be used.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
This is for the Zhenfan army under the command of Hou Junji, they will obey unconditionally when they give an order, firstly, he is the commander, a famous general, a great military achievement, and a great reputation, and secondly, it is not the first time that this thing has been done.
Anyway, if you follow General Hou, you can win battles and big battles, who is not willing to serve?
"General, according to the scout's report, the 30,000 Tibetan elites from Luoqi City have arrived, and at that time, with the cooperation of the local tribes and lords, plus the defenders of Doma, they can gather tens of thousands of troops at any time, what should we do?" Qiang Qiang, who was in charge of logistics, asked in a low voice.
He is Hou Junji's cronies and confidants, and he followed Hou Junji when he raised troops from Li Yuan Taiyuan, and now the whole team, that is, he dares to ask like this.
Hou Junji looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said lightly: "What should I do?" Cold salad, here is sparsely populated, the terrain is complex, giving us an infinite detour space, even if there are 100,000 elite soldiers, scattered on this plateau, it is only a dot, not scattered, insufficient mobility, if scattered. It can be broken one by one, it is the training place of the great Lu, and it also makes these slaves know the great exploits of the heroes of my Tang Dynasty. ”
Like Liu Yuan, Changsun Chong, and Cheng Huailiang are walking on thin ice in the hinterland of Tibet, and when they are cautious, Hou Junji regards this place as his own training ground, and the lonely army goes deep, as if he is strolling in a leisurely garden, as if he is not here to fight, but to hunt and play.
Replace it with another general. With only a few thousand men and horses, he has achieved such a big record, and he has long been satisfied, and he has returned to the Tao, but Hou Junji has no intention of being satisfied. He still has to struggle, he has to forge ahead.
To prove yourself. He never tires of it; And his desire to succeed. Endless.
This is the pursuit of a generation of famous generals.
Cheng Huailiang accepted it when he saw it, and it was in line with his Lao Tzu's style, thinking that back then, didn't he call him the king, but as soon as the situation was wrong, he immediately threw himself under Li Er's command. Now that the army is advancing, after getting the order of Hou Junji, he is naturally happy to retreat, for him. Those exploits are enough to return home.
Compared with others, Liu Yuan likes to fish in troubled waters, leading the three hundred Zhenfan troops in disguise, and continuing to prevent Tubo from having a good life, Hou Junji obviously does not retreat for the time being, and Changsun Chong also refuses to retreat, Liu Yuan thought to himself, Cheng Huailiang is a famous family, he should not retreat so quickly, so he is not the first to withdraw from the battlefield.
Four people with completely different personalities also led to different encounters on the plateau
At night, Liu Yuan led people to lie on the top of the mountain, looking at the mountains of grain and grass in the ravine.
In the valley, it was the Tubo logistics brigade, which was resting in this leeward ravine at the moment, preparing to continue tomorrow's departure.
It can be seen from the clairvoyant eye that the military rations in Tibet are mainly grain, grass and livestock, and the livestock are mainly cattle and sheep, while the grain is sorghum and wheat, all of which are packed into bags and carried by cattle and horses, which is very labor-saving.
"General, you say, why are their defenses so lax?" Zhao Fu was next to Liu Yuan, and said a little puzzled: "There are so many grain and grassland here, I think there are only two or three thousand people defending at most, this is also rash, aren't you afraid that we will cut off his grain channel?" ”
Liu Yuan was thinking about the question and didn't answer, Jin Yong on the side whispered: "What's so strange about this, as soon as the Tubo people are nomads in their bones, they will grab wherever they go, where they will go, where is there any logistics, it is estimated that this time we will make a miserable mess, plus the land here is vast and sparsely populated, even if it is not easy to collect grain, it is not easy to snatch from his own people, so he brought grain and grass, two or three thousand, two or three thousand is not a force, don't you see?" There are vanguard troops and Chinese troops passing by first, and most of the troops are passing by, can their spies not know the way? If it weren't for the fact that the general had a claireye, and this skin, he had passed the test several times, and we, the people, would have been tossed up a long time ago. ”
"It's just to let you know that he has grain and grass here, what can you do, are you going to attack others for three thousand?"
Zhao Fu was speechless all of a sudden, but he said slyly: "I can't help it, but General Liu has a way." ”
"You"
"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel" Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Come here, don't do a vote, how can you be worthy of yourself." ”
Jin Yong grinded his fists and said: "That's great, seeing so much grain, grass and livestock here, if you don't burn them all and kill them, I really feel sorry for myself, hehe, it's another great achievement." ”
Qian Weiqiang said with a little hesitation: "General, now we have a total of three hundred wounded, this is a hard bone, I'm afraid it's not easy to gnaw." ”
Liu Yuan nodded, and said confidently: "Indeed, we have too few people, we can only outwit and not be able to defeat the enemy, but just now I have figured out the enemy's patrol rules, and you can just listen to me in a while." ”
"Yes, General!"
The next night, when the second to third watches were the most soundly asleep, the Tibetan soldiers who had been driving in the ravine for a day were already sleeping soundly in the cold wind, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling kept yawning one by one, patrolling weakly.
They are just the lowest level of baggage soldiers, and their elite is definitely not as good as Zampu's personal guards, and there are tens of thousands of troops in front of them to open the way, and they never dreamed that anyone would dare to fight their own ideas.
The defense was very lax, the wild wolf and Jin Yong led the two elite soldiers, and soon quietly put down the few Tubo soldiers guarding the door, from the clairvoyant, the Tubo patrol team was patrolling the night with fire as a unit, Liu Yuan sent a group of ten people led by the wild wolf and Jin Yong to pretend to be a Tufan patrol team, mixed into the camp, obviously, they went inside to burn grain and grass, and cause destruction.
"Stop, password!" Be ahead of the curve. A soldier of the Zhenbo Army, who was proficient in the Tibetan language, saw a soldier who got up and peed at night, and immediately shouted in a low voice.
Like these camps, in order to distinguish between the enemy and us, most of them are set up by the general to set up an internal password, like the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao is "chicken ribs" as a password, but Yang Xiu heard it, he packed up his things and said that he was ready to retreat, and later Cao Cao took the opportunity to disturb the morale of the army and killed him. This is just a story, but later the generals like to imitate, where is the password of the wild wolf and his party, the soldier had an idea and asked first.
"Butter tea," the Tibetan soldier hurriedly replied.
A group of ten people secretly rejoiced. That's it, and the password is there. The soldier who walked in front of him waved his hand and said, "Go." Then the "patrol" continued with ten people.
"Password?"
"Butter tea."
"Password?"
"Butter tea."
The armor of Tubo is very interesting, covering from head to toe, only two eyes are exposed, and no one can see it if you don't open your mouth, and in this camp. There are also two kinds of soldiers, one is the soldier who wears Liu Yuan's armor for battle, and the other is the baggage soldier wearing leather armor, and many soldiers are a little strange to see the patrol team dressed as a line of soldiers in the wild wolf. Because the soldiers seldom participated in the hard work of guarding, but they wore regular Tibetan military uniforms and had accurate passwords, so they still blended in smoothly and approached the "granary" that had been temporarily piled up.
The so-called granary, in fact, is placed in the landlord, covered with oil paper or something to prevent wind and snow, there is nothing special, anyway, Tubo is this condition.
The desolate wolf and his party approached the granary, secretly excited in their hearts, near the granary, there was only one fire and ten people where the Tubo heavy soldiers were on guard, and there were no open posts and secret posts around, it was obvious that the vigilance was tight on the outside and loose on the inside, that is, it was put on the look.
"Password?" It turned out that the fire baggage soldier was tired of hiding from the cold wind in the corner, and when he saw that there were people from the war team patrolling, the fire commander Hado asked for a password according to his custom.
"Butter tea," the soldiers of the Zhenfan Army replied proudly.
It's his own people, the heavy soldier Hado yawned and squatted lazily.
As soon as he got in the car, he smelled the smell of meat, Hado's nose couldn't help but move twice, it was sauce beef, and he couldn't help but look at the fragrance, it turned out to be the team of soldiers, who were sitting down, putting some beef, ghee cake or something on the ground for supper, and two bottles of barley wine, as soon as he saw these, the saliva couldn't help but flow down: it's good to enter the war team, usually they eat fragrant and spicy food, and the meat is eaten with the belly.
Now a supper, so rich, Hado happened to be a little hungry, smelling the oysters, and his saliva flowed, but he didn't dare to come forward to ask for it, and those soldiers were so arrogant that they had to curse in their hearts: Eat you dogs.
Several soldiers beside him also watched one by one, swallowing their saliva constantly.
"Bang" Suddenly a small snowball was thrown on Hado's head, and he was just about to curse, when he suddenly saw the fire captain of the clan beckoning to him: "Come on, come on, you guys also come over and eat together." ”
What, you actually asked yourself to eat, these warriors, they are in such a good mood today?
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie brother, it's really polite." Just now, I secretly cursed myself to eat to death, but as soon as I heard that I was invited to eat with me, I immediately smiled again, rubbing my hands, and walked over with a smile.
Soon, Hado and his men grabbed the beef, picked up the good wine, and ate and drank happily, and on the cold winter night, there was meat to eat and wine to drink, which was a very happy good thing, usually not much oil and water, but now there is food, and it is not desperate to eat more.
Seeing that the time had come, the desolate wolf gave a look, and the ten elite soldiers selected by the Zhenfan army, intentionally or unintentionally, approached those unsuspecting Tubo heavy soldiers, and suddenly moved together, one by one, covering their mouths with one hand and wiping their throats with the other.
"Hmm"
"Hmm"
After a few faint muffled snorts, he cleanly and neatly solved all the Tibetan heavy soldiers who were responsible for guarding the granary. (To be continued......)
