Chapter Seventy-One: The marching army orders the right army to go out of battle
"It's not that the command is not moving, it's just that it's not going well" Dugu Duwei said strongly.
"How can I command smoothly?" The single deputy chief manager asked.
"The thirteen departments of the Far East have been oppressed by the Turks for a long time, they know it reasonably, they can still go into battle, the mercenaries are here for profit, and they can charge when they are allowed to benefit," Demon Wolf Tianxing pondered for a while and said embarrassedly.
"What's the benefit?" Tang Dudu finally got a good color.
"Such a major event needs to be the master of the camp" Dugu Duwei shirked.
"The march is a major event, and it is not a businessman's act, what is your opinion, tell the truth" Dugu is impatient.
"Take it from the enemy, use it for me, the thirteen departments and the mercenaries of the Provisional Departure are all the first to say, there is no need for the Tang Dynasty, only take fifty percent of the Turkic deposits" Demon Wolf Tianxing raised his head and replied.
"But" Dugu was the general manager of the patrol, and the generals were speechless and made up their minds.
"The chief manager is wise," Dugu Tianxing praised.
"The right army has been recuperating for many days, and this round of battle will be like a tiger out of the box, so wait and see," the former military governor of the four seas then praised.
"All the generals are in the precedent ahead, and some of them have relatives, so they don't dare to win" Demon Wolf Tianxing is preparing to go back.
"The chief manager asked before, how many days will it take to conquer the Tahe River? Does Li Dudu have expectations? Deputy Supervisor Zheng, who had been a transparent person for a while, suddenly spoke, and the generals of the right army who were choked rolled their eyes.
"Ten days is enough" Dugu Duwei cut gold and cut iron.
"Ten days is too much, five days, after five days, the right army can't set foot in Tahe City, only you and others try to ask" Dugu also gritted his teeth.
"But" Dugu Duwei's teeth hurt.
"Can the military order be made?" Chen Daojian asked the military envoy as usual.
"Kecheng, five days later, please ask the two chief managers and generals to celebrate in Tahe City" Dugu Great Magician Hao Han to the end "But within five days, the camp and the army shall not interfere with the actions of the right army, nor shall they set foot in front of Tahe City"
Is this afraid that the right army will steal the merits? The generals don't know how this demon wolf has the confidence to conquer Tahe City in five days.
The former military Sihai and the left army Tang Xiujing both despised the little captain of Temple Street.
"However, within five days, the armies will only watch and not fight," Dugu Governor said on his behalf.
"What if you don't conquer the enemy city after five days?" Chen Dao supervised the military envoy to perform the duty of supervising the army.
"From tomorrow, five days later, if the Tahe River is still in the hands of the Turks, the chief steward and the generals do not need to find someone to ask for the guilt, and a certain person will be in front of the Tahe City."
"If this order is violated, it should be beheaded" Dugu Chief Administrator closed the coffin.
"Prepare a thin coffin for so-and-so, and carry the coffin into battle," Dugu Duwei said fiercely.
"Quasi"
"Carry the coffin into battle?" Wang Jiangnan heard that the flowers were discolored.
"There is indeed courage" The commanders of the forbidden army bowed to him.
"Sensationalism" Ambassador Yan Guofeng sneered again and again.
"Today, the right army has a night banquet, and all generals and people can come" Dugu Duwei's face was gloomy, and he was arrogant.
In the afternoon, the right army and the front army changed defenses, and each battalion should take care of its own affairs, and all the generals and lieutenants gathered in the front army's big tent, and the cups came and went, and they all marched for the right army.
The three little ladies joining the army were also among the banquets, but they just watched the Demon Wolf Celestial Star being overturned by the stars, so they had to eat silently with the three princesses of Yanqiong at the same table.
The momentum has been broken, and the people in Temple Street will put down their minds and work hard to clean up the table, and the dishes are quite prosperous.
Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, jumping in the grass, all available, tired of fighting for many days, quite tired, today is free, full of food.
"General Yan, the right army is out of battle this battle, does it have a chance of winning?" Zheng Sui'er frowned and asked the third princess.
"Yes, carry the coffin into battle, Captain Tianxing, this is a ruined boat" Wang Jiangnan also cared about this battle.
"A certain three armies attacked for a few days, but they didn't gain an inch, and the thirteen departments of the Temple Street and the Far East were brave, maybe they were all successful" General Yan Qiong was also troubled, not to mention that the forbidden army was not effective in combat, and the courage to fight to the death was also compared to the Demon Wolf Tianxing.
"Ha, the three princesses and the three little ladies appreciate their faces, and they are grateful for my strong deeds" After three rounds of wine, the demon wolf on Temple Street, the deputy head of the banquet, toasted from table to table.
"Tianxing Captain Meng Lang, the fighting spirit of carrying the coffin is commendable, but it is really unwise" Zheng Sui'er couldn't help but ask.
"It's really forced by the situation" Dugu Tianxing is still smiling, "I regret it now, or Zheng joins the army to intercede on my behalf, so I don't have this military order"
"As soon as the military order came out, there was no case of taking it back" The three princesses drank "Dugu Duwei is brave, and Jun Luan worships and obeys"
"Compared with the forbidden army, the right army, and the generation of Wu He" Dugu Tianxing is modest.
"Congratulations for the success of the right military horse" The three princesses replied.
Demon Wolf Tianxing is a little dazed, is this little lady general sincere? but drink another glass.
"This battle will be fierce, can the Captain of the Heavenly Star have a poem to pass on?" Zheng Xiuer still does not forget to be ridiculed for the need to study.
"What about Wu Yingyan? Come here, take care of your mother-in-law," Dugu Tianxing was annoyed, and Hawkeye Xiaowu, who assisted Dugu Qiuqiu in taking care of logistics, heard the news, but smiled and said nothing.
"I haven't heard of the poems of the Great Magician of the Heavenly Star for a long time, and the Captain of the Heavenly Star is complete" Zheng Suier and Wang Jiangnan coaxed.
Demon Wolf Tianxing stared at the few little ladies in front of him, unlike the military men who drank and burned knives, the little ladies drank wine, and the crystal clear bone china cup was filled with red wine, which was as moist as condensed fat.
The corner of the Demon Wolf Tianxing's mouth pursed, and he drank a full glass.
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately."
"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times?"
"A song for the expedition is sent to the generals, and the drink wins"
After chanting, I have another drink with the generals.
When the night is approaching, the banquet stops.
Unlike the former army's big tent, which was full of wine, there was also a banquet in the camp at night, and the Dugu chief Shan Sijing, the deputy chief of the army, Chen Dao, supervised the three of them drinking.
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately."
"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times?"
"What a poem to go out to fight, the great magician of Tianxing is smart" Chen Daojian military envoy is also a great Confucian in Yan and Tang Dynasties, and when he heard the good poems, he invited the two chief managers to dinner together.
"This Tianxing Lieutenant still has some talent," the deputy chief manager said casually.
"The two chief managers have been in the army for many years, watching this battle, can the right army have a chance of winning?" Chen Dao spoke.
"The three armies attacked the city for many days, although the city was not conquered, but Tahe City was like a tired egg, and the right army was not weak to the three armies, because it could be successful," Dugu asserted.
"The chief manager has great expectations for the right army," Chen Dao pondered, "I don't know how the chief manager gave this meritorious service to the Dugu Lieutenant?" ”
The chief manager of Dugu was stunned, and he didn't know what the prison envoy meant?
"Although Tahe City is dangerous, the Turkic beasts are still fighting, and the losses of the strong attack will be huge, so the other three armies have a lot of concerns," Shan Sijing explained.
Chief Dugu waved his hand, "Chen Yushi, do you know anything about the situation in the Far East?" ”
"Little is known"
"The coast of Heishui and further north, the mountains are dense and forested, the people are fierce, the Turks suddenly entered the Far East, conquered the original tribes, quite a lot of strength, and the damage was also heavy, if the Turks were expelled from the Far East, the thirteen tribes returned to their former homes, and it was not easy to suppress," Dugu said abruptly.
Chen Daojian made it clear that "the commander of Dugu is far-sighted, and Dugu is a great captain"
The three of them were talking very happily, and suddenly one person entered, but it was Zheng Pei's deputy supervising military envoy.
Deputy Supervisor Zheng looked indignant: "The Supervisor of the Army, the two chief managers, a certain report, the right army is now drinking rottenly, and the whole army is indulging in wine and banquets, I am afraid that it will hinder the major events of tomorrow's siege."
"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times? The pre-war salary of the army is an example, and Zheng Jianjun does not have to make a big fuss" Chen Daojian military envoy disagreed.
"But I also heard that Dugu Du Lieutenant ordered people to collect countless women from all around, and at this moment the right army has become a happy scene"
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Dao frowned, the two chief managers changed color, drinking is a trivial matter, and they also sent prostitutes to the camp? That's the big deal.
The deputy chief was about to order someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, when he suddenly saw Du Wei join the army.
"A certain person received the right army for the record, and the right army found out that a sergeant had summoned a woman into the camp, and he had been arrested, and he wanted the perpetrator to attack the city tomorrow and sacrifice the flag, and hoped that the camp would allow it."
The two chief managers and Chen Daojian looked at each other.
"It's not leaking," Chen Jianjun sighed.
"Please make it clear to the prison army, what should I do?" Du Wei asked
"Quasi," Chen Jianjun was helpless.
"No, it needs to be dealt with strictly, track down the generals, and strictly enforce military discipline"
"Changing generals?" Dugu asked coldly?
"There is no hesitation to change generals in battle," Zheng Pei, the deputy superintendent of the army, made the righteousness awe-inspiring.
"How about letting Deputy Superintendent Zheng lead the army to attack the city?" The single deputy chief sneered.
"The rear army took over the construction of siege equipment, and the responsibility was quite heavy, and Zheng Jianjun had to supervise it, such a big task, Zheng Jianjun was willing to bear it?" Chen Daojian said indifferently.
"Some.... Zheng Pei smiled bitterly, he was not driven back to Kyoto, and it was just like that when he arrived at the rear army.
On the 16th day of July in the 10th year of Shenlong, it was the season of flowing fire, but it was already late summer in the Far East.
The sky was cloudy and foggy, the Humatta River was full of smoke and clouds, and the Dugu Governor took Yan Qiong and other generals of the Chinese army to cross the river, and walked along the Huma River to build a pontoon bridge and walk, but did not see the other side.
The right army changed camps with the front army yesterday, and the north bank of Huma was already garrisoned by the right army, and Li Xiancheng came to greet him personally.
Climb up to the fort built by the original Turks, fortunately the sun rises, the fog disperses, even the sky is full of fine clouds, the sun is like egg yolk, the whole sky is yin and yang.
The third floor of the fort has been cleaned up a little, several feet are complete, the single deputy chief manager stays behind, Chen Daojian military envoy came to watch the battle, Li Xiancheng has placed the Dugu general Chen Jian military envoy General Yan, and beckoned the generals to sit down.
And he commanded the bringers to eat early.
There are all kinds of steamed bread and naan buns, fish porridge and vegetable soup, and a few baskets of steamed steamed cakes.
Chen Daojian military envoy Confucianism, the diet is light, there is no special encounter in the army, the daily diet is the same as that of the military officials, the army of Zhengmohe has been far away from the Dazhou Shufu, the supply is not easy, every morning to eat nothing more than naan rice soup, lunch and evening meals are also corn grains, see this hearty breakfast is a little disliked.
When the right army officer brought a bucket of haggis soup, it changed color and was about to attack, but he saw that the general manager of Dugu and Princess Yan didn't care, took all kinds of ingredients and used them themselves.
"Come on, Supervisor Chen's military envoy has a good mouth, the star master has always attached great importance to the mouth, and he can rectify the food wherever he goes, and try this mutton steamed bun to suit your appetite? Chen Jianjun Guanzhongren's, the piece of soup can be derived from Guanzhong, and the taste can deviate from the original taste? "The chief manager of Dugu did not forget to greet the military envoy of Chen Daojian who did not know why.
"This is not the case with the food of the right army on weekdays, only when the big war is imminent, the sergeants are paid first, and they will do more tricks today" Governor Li Xiancheng is also a person with exquisite eyes and feet, and when he saw that the face of the main supervisor was pale, he hurriedly explained.
"Don't dare to deceive," said Dugu, the chief manager, with a smile.
In a battle to the death, is it okay to have a full meal? Chen Daojian was relieved, and he tasted all kinds of things, which was really good.
"The taste is a bit heavy, maybe the diet has been light recently, and the sudden taste is delicious, and it is a little uncomfortable," Chen Daojian commented while tasting it.
"The meat filling is good, the smell is gone, and the cooking methods are good."
"It's very different from the piece of soup in Chang'an East City, how can there be so many side dishes in Chang'an East City?"
The two bigwigs of Chen Jian Military Envoy and Dugu General Manager commented while eating, General Yan also buried his head and chewed hard, and the generals and colonels of the Chinese army on the second floor of Gangbao, such as Qin Chong, Duan Yuncheng, and Peng Zhengne, also had a full meal, and they all called for this not to lose.
"Have Tang Du Du Du and Fang Du Du ever come?" After a full meal, the general manager of Dugu inquired.
"It has arrived, and they are all placed in several guard forts"
"When?"
Before Li Dudu could answer, a dull horn sounded outside the fort,
"Woo, woo" is short and solemn.
Then the war drums sounded,
"Knock, knock, knock" dull chase.
The barracks, which had been silent before, immediately poured water like oil, crowds of people, flags were unfurled, and a team of officers and soldiers of the right army rushed out of the barracks, anxious but not chaotic, tea and kung fu, and the front of Tahe City was full of people and horses.
"It's good to govern the army" Chen Daojian may have tasted the soup of his hometown, and it is rare to say a good word, but General Yanqiong on the side slandered in his heart, the forbidden army formation is much stricter than this.
The right army is arrayed, and 10,000 people are in the center of the temple street, but the armor is bright, and the military formation is neat.
The left wing of the Heishui Army, the 20,000 horses and horses transferred to the front army a few days ago were built, and the 30,000 Heishui army was in a strict formation, jumping in front of the column, the sword and shield soldiers were in line, the pikemen were stationed in the guns, the Yue cavalry battalion had a bow in hand, and finally the cavalry was pressing.
On the right flank are the thirteen feudal soldiers of the Far East and all kinds of mercenaries, and here they can be chaotic, the teams are not in formation, they are piled together, and the clothes and armor of each department are different, just like the flow of people in the market.
Before the battle, it was not far from Tahe City, and there were already craftsmen sorting out siege equipment.
The chief manager of Dugu was a little dissatisfied, and was about to reprimand Governor Li Xiancheng, but Governor Li surrendered
"A certain person is also in the battle, please take care of yourself"
The manager of Dugu had to wave his hand to let him take care of himself.
The drum beat suddenly and abruptly stopped, a carriage drove out of the camp, on both sides were the two guards of the demon wolf Tianxing, the big bear and the dog, but the person driving was Dugu God, there was one person and one thing in the car, the person was Yantang Andong Dadu Hufu Heishui Dushui Governor's Mansion Temple Street Fold Chong Dugu Tianxing, but the thing was a black coffin, Dugu Tianxing sat on the coffin with a solemn face.
Gangbao is about eight or nine miles away from Tahe City, the clouds and mist are gone, the vision is still good, although they do not see each other, but they can distinguish the generals of the army from the clothing.
Dugu Tianxing has light armor and no helmet, and his dark hair is tied with a purple belt.
The carriage stopped half a hundred steps in front of the formation, Dugu Tianxing stood up, stood on the top of the coffin on the carriage, and looked at the head of Tahe City, the head of the city was full of people, and the Turks were obviously preparing for war.
The military formation, especially the right-wing feudal soldiers and mercenaries, was noisy, and when he saw that the captain of the Heavenly Star stood quietly to observe the enemy, he slowly stopped, and the military formation became solemn.
After a long time, the generals were waiting for impatience, and Dugu Tianxing turned around.
"What's that?" He pointed behind him, but he didn't see any force, but the sound shook the four wilds.
"Tahe River"
"Turkic soldiers"
There was a noise in the military array, Dugu Tianxing pressed his hands, and the military array was silent.
"The Turkic city of Tahe? No, that's where you were. ”
"Many years ago, you and others used to fish and hunt here, live freely, and the Turkic soldiers came, invaded the Tahe River, trampled on the Far East, killed your father and brother, and destroyed your homeland."
"Is there anyone who has no enmity with the Turks?" Captain Celestial Star shouted.
"None"
"There is a feud"
"There is a feud"
It began to be chaotic, and then there were voices of hatred.
"There is revenge, the axiom of heaven"
"Why are you here now?"
"Revenge, revenge"
"Revenge, revenge"
"Okay," Captain Celestial Star signaled.
"The empire marched north, expelled the Turks, took revenge, and returned my homeland,"
"What should I do?"
"Fight to the death," the blonde King Kong Bear roared
"Fight to the Death"
"Fight to the Death"
The armies roared.
"Conquer the Tahe River and rebuild your homeland" Dugu Tianxing continued to bewitch.
"The first to enter, a hundred gold"
"Kill an enemy, reward hardware"
"All that is gained by the Tahe River shall belong to you"
"Soldiers who died in battle, the cemetery is engraved"
"The families of the martyrs, I raise them"
One by one, the bounties shouted out from Dugu Tianxing's mouth, the big bear relayed, and the generals of Temple Street followed, and then the whole army repeated.
"Snort"
Dugu Tianxing and the other armies stopped their voices, opened their arms, squinted at the sky, and saw two fire snakes rushing out from both sides of the carriage, extending out to the left and right.
The armies held their breath.
Dugu Tianxing turned around and faced Tahe City.
"Stormtroopers, cross this line and don't look back"
"Those who retreat, beyond this line, will be killed"
"Conquer the Ta River and celebrate for three days"
"The siege begins, and it does not stop"
"Some, Temple Street Tianxing, has received the military order, carries the coffin and fights, never die"
"Never Die"
"Never Die"
In front of Tahe City, the Tang army was arrayed, and the sound shook all over the world, and the earth trembled.
Dugu Tianxing withdrew his arm, stroked his chest with his left hand, and waved down his right hand.
More than 100 catapults started, and the stone rain hit Tahe City.
