"Yan Tang's expedition this time, although the preparation is slightly lacking, but it is magnificent, like the momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top, the Mohe Turks have declined, and they are unable to return to the sky."

Yeluzhao did not hurry up and talked about the general trend.

"Three years ago, the Yan and Tang dynasties were defeated, losing 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the loss of the Turkic Khanate was only a lot more, but the empire was strong and the population far exceeded that of the Turks, so it was very easy to replenish, and the development of a certain temple street from two or three thousand remnants in three years is an example."

"The Turkic main account is located in the Western Regions, the Mohe Turks are isolated in the northeast, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate and the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate have been strategized over the years, the Tiele tribes are attached to the empire, and the Mohe foreign aid is embarrassed, and it is no different to use one or two cities to fight against the entire Yantang Empire."

"Most of the veterans of the Mohe Turkic Department of a hundred battles have died, and their combat power has decreased sharply, and they have suffered heavy losses in the three battles of Hailan Pao Aldan Huma in the previous month, so it can be said that all the mobile troops were annihilated, and the Turks were all immediately warriors, but now they have given up the mobile field strengths of the cavalry, and Ashina Qiji has no choice but to set up a trap to defend the Tahe."

"In the past two years, there have been repeated conflicts between the Black Water and the Turks in Temple Street, and no matter the foot and cavalry, they have not fallen behind, and even the Song Mo Army has repeatedly won it, otherwise the Song Desert Governor Zhang Tietou has written a blood letter to petition the saint, in order to conquer the Mo River."

"Now there are few major generals in the Mohe Turkic Army, and more importantly, the spirit has been defeated, and even the confidence in fighting with a certain field is gone."

"On the other hand, Yan Tang, the fiasco three years ago made the whole army united, and the Anton Protectorate worked hard, and the momentum of successive victories was like a rainbow"

"This is the momentum, Yan Tang overwhelms the Turks"

"In the past three years, the Andong Protectorate has been taking the re-conquest of Mohe as a priority, with sufficient military resources, well-trained military strength, a certain temple street to contact the 13th Department of the Far East, familiar with the geographical advantages, and the support of the forbidden army, the whole Yantang thought it was a backup, and the brave soldiers were wide, and the equipment was far from being comparable to the Turks."

"This is the strength of the force, the Yantang army and horses surpass the Turkic Khanate"

"The forces are all overwhelming the Mohe Turks, and Yan and Tang will win this battle"

Yelu Zhao spoke eloquently, and the crowd listened with relish.

But Xue Jian was still scratching his ears and cheeks, he had no preparation for defeat in his heart, but the first thing was how to pull out the obstacles in front of Tahe City.

Fortunately, Yelu understood General Xue's thoughts, and turned the topic to Tahe.

"The commander of Tahe City, Ashina Qijishe, calls himself an apprentice of the military god, but in fact, he only learned the fur of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and shrunk into Tahe, and put out the fort, the whole Tahe is like a hedgehog, and it seems that he has no way to start, but it is not."

"Tahe City is small, even if Ashina Jishi moves all the surrounding residents into the city, it is only about 100,000 people, although all the Turkic people are soldiers, but how can the herdsmen with the whip pick up the knife and gun to compare with my Yantang warriors?"

"Ashina Qiji is located on the banks of the Tahe Huma River with eight Ming Forts and six Hidden Forts, each with its own collusion, each Ming Fort is garrisoned with 300 to 500 troops, and the Dark Fort is 50 to 100, and if each place is attacked, the alarm will be issued, and support can be obtained within half an hour at the latest."

"Eight Ming Fort is half a mile to one mile apart, there is no one between the dark forts, the Ming Fort protrudes four or five zhang from the ground, but the dark fort is the key point of the Ming Fort behind the trench traffic and hiding troops, such as attacking one of them, it can be attacked nearby. However, its weaknesses are also clear, as long as two or three guard forts are forcibly taken, it can form a width of two or three miles, and one or two regiments of soldiers and horses can be forcefully crossed. ”

"This situation is already clear, although it is not as clear as your department" Xue Jian paused and listened attentively, "A certain plan is to attack at both ends, and the former army echoes the suspicious soldiers along the bank of the Huma River"

"This strategy should be cautious, and General Xue is thoughtful," Yelu Zhaoshun said. "But it's better to put up a majestic formation, force the whole line along the Tahe Huma line, hit the eggs with stones, and take it by force"

"The front army is 40,000, a certain right army can support 20,000, Ashina Jishe will never dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle, and the enemy will never have more than 20,000 enemies in the fort and support."

"60,000 against 20,000, a certain coercion comes, scares the bird with the bow, there is no calculation to prepare for the attack, it will be successful"

"Hiss" Xue Jian and Li Xiancheng were frightened, and they put on a desperate posture when they came up?

"Then the casualties will be big," Governor Li Xiancheng frowned.

"60,000 against 20,000, the enemy's geographical advantage is advantageous, our army is victorious, Ashina Jishe has decided to fight a decisive battle at the head of Tahe City, relying on the high walls of the fortified city to survive, in order to protect the army will not be entangled outside the city, if the planning is appropriate, the casualties can be controlled below 10,000"

"Ten thousand?" Xue Jian was stunned, "It's just the battle for the periphery of the Tahe River, so miserable?" If the siege of the city is not carried out, will the casualties be heavier? ”

"Naturally, if there is enough time, what is General Xue's estimated casualties?" Yelu Zhao asked.

"This... One or two thousand," Ambassador Xue Jian was not mentally prepared.

"Ten times the siege of the city, five and attack it, the Turks are not paper paste, attacking the fortified city is the flesh and blood grinding plate, that is, if there is enough time, the siege year, it will be able to overcome it, and then the time will not wait for me, the time to conquer Mohe is only May and June, Mohe is stronger than Tahe City, and the soldiers are wider, giving Yan Tang the most months to capture Tahe."

"The most conservative estimate is that at least 40,000 soldiers will be sacrificed in the capture of Tahe," Yeluzhao asserted.

"This is too big, three years ago, there were only more than 20,000 casualties under Mohe City" Li Xiancheng also participated in the battle three years ago, and he knew all kinds of situations.

"Three years ago, the Turks also adopted the strategy of luring the enemy to go deeper, trapping the fortified city, and delaying time, but they did it more thoroughly, at that time, the communication between Mohe and the Western Regions was still smooth, the back road was not cut off, and the strategic room for maneuver was greater, and this time it was a lone army, and it was a countermeasure to trap the Mohe River and intercept it layer by layer."

"Forty thousand soldiers were sacrificed in the First World War, I'm afraid that the chief Dugu can't make up his mind, right?" Although Xue Jian has fought a hundred battles on the battlefield and is accustomed to life and death, this is inevitably too much, accounting for almost half of the army's military strength.

"The longer the time drags on, the greater the casualties are feared"

"Think about it again?" Ambassador Xue Jian was at a loss.

I have no intention of drinking again, withdraw from the table and serve tea, there is no talk of the head of the group, and the account is stuffy.

"If you force the crossing with all your might, you can take it in two days at most, and if you follow the general's policy, it may take more time," Yeluzhao said frankly.

"More is more time, but is there a better way to do it?"

"Yes, but this strategy depends on luck," Yelu Zhao said, and Xue and Li were overjoyed.

"Speak quickly"

"Gangbao is built along the river, less than 100 steps by the river, but it is four or five miles away from the city, if you send troops to cut off, Gangbao becomes a lone army, and the enemy is attacked on both sides, and it is easier to attack."

"This is a good idea, but Gangbao blocks the way and can't bypass it" Xue Jian was first happy and then annoyed, he originally wanted to pull out the Gangbao roadblock when he was on the Tahe River, and there was a way to bypass it.

"Unless the divine soldiers descend from the sky," Li Xiancheng pouted and joked.

"That's right, it's a divine soldier from the sky" Yelu Zhao is mysterious.

"Say it quickly, don't sell it, okay? A certain is familiar with the captain of the Ru family, and it is a big deal to complete the military order and invite you to wait for a big banquet for three days."

Is there a lack of food for these three days in Temple Street? The wolf group in the account will secretly think.

"There are two ways to send troops to the fort, one is to sneak in, although it is difficult, it is not impossible, as long as you secretly take one or two places, do not alarm others, you can be smooth."

"It's too difficult, there are two or three hundred people in each sentry fort, how can it be done if you don't alarm other places?"

"Yes, it's difficult, but it's also possible," Li Xiancheng shouted.

"What else?" Xue Jian didn't think so.

"The second is the god soldier from the sky"

"Divine Soldiers from the Sky? Seriously? "Commander Xue Li is not calm.

"The two generals have seen the falcon, right?"

"Naturally, I've seen it, but that... Can it carry people? Can you domesticate falcons and carry people? ”

"The weight of a soldier still needs to carry a blade and a bow and arrow, how can an eagle falcon carry it?"

"That..."

"Can people learn from falcons to fly over?" Yelu Zhao learned the Shinto Tao of his family head proficiently.

Xue Li was speechless, this was unheard of.

"General Xue, don't be surprised, conquering the Mohe River and attacking the Tahe River is the wish of the whole army, the wolf regiment has been thinking day and night for three years to avenge, and this battle Temple Street should do its best" While Jin Yifeng was silent, he said at this time, "The fort on the Tahe side can be handed over to our right army, and a certain one should be killed"

Xue Jian and Li Xiancheng glanced at each other, they had already said so.

"The wolf group has a perfect strategy, and a certain class is not allowed" Xue Jian is not a person who holds power, "Then this battle strategy will be granted to you, and you will be willing to obey the order"

"General Xue's words are serious, there are few perfect strategies in the world, some only need to plan thoroughly, if you need the help of heaven to do everything" Yelu Zhao was not happy to see that Ambassador Xue Jian took the initiative to hand over the command authority.

"Then please tell me about the war, how should we arrange it?"

"The former army can make a strong crossing posture tomorrow afternoon, and the direction of the Tahe River will also be arranged accordingly, and the main force will act tomorrow night, and the battle will be clear."

"Okay, but does this matter need to be presented to the camp and the two chief managers?" Li Dudu asked.

"This matter still needs General Xue's decision"

General Xue understood that the people of the wolf regiment wanted to fight the guard fort but also did not want to take responsibility, so they pushed his old Xue to shelter from the wind and rain in front, but they secretly made waves.

Hey, who called us cheap? and Yan Guofeng, who is bound to repay, hmph, let's talk about it later.

So the deputy commander of the former army of Zhengmohe, the imperial Huaihua Zhonglang, put down the ambassador of the Lu Long Army, General Xue Jianxue, and asked the wolves of Temple Street for advice on how to deal with the enemy in the posture of a small soldier.

Yelu Zhao no longer hid and tucked away, and when it came to all kinds of tactics, the more General Xue Li listened, the more frightened he became.

As the night approached, Xue Jian took his leave and promised to send the military order as soon as possible tomorrow to carry out the operation as soon as possible.

Xue Jian returned to the camp of the former army, the former army commander Fang Sihai had not yet rested, and urgently recruited the captains of all armies, and Xue Jian narrated to the map, and the generals were silent, and Shi Chen Gu, the governor of Yingzhou, sighed, "Such complicated tactics can be said to be comprehensive, and they are not as good as others."

Fang Sihai also made a decision on the spot, and ordered the army to write a document on the spot, one to negotiate with the right army on the matter of transferring troops to march to fight, and the other to send a copy to the Chinese army's camp.

On June 29, the tenth year of Shenlong, the weather was still fine in Tahe, Far East.

When the morning haze dissipated, there were already many people by the Tahe River, and the soldiers of the right army of Zhengmohe had begun to be busy.

More than 100 wooden boats have been placed in the water, and are being tied with ropes and chains, and there are siege crossbow carts installed on the shore, and there are those who transport arrows and blades, but they come and go in an orderly manner.

When Xue Jian, who came with the military order in person, found Yelu Zhao, who was in charge, Shi Zheng, the governor of Temple Street, was facing the map to verify the progress of the actions of each department.

"Hey, you're all up to action? Aren't you afraid that the governor of Fang Du will not issue military orders? Although Xue Jian only slept for two or three hours last night, he was in good spirits at this time.

"It's better not to issue it, just a certain drill" Yelu Zhao didn't raise his head, and continued to discuss with Dugu Qiuqiu how to stabilize the catapult on the wooden raft.

"It's boring, give, the former military governor's transfer order"

"Go to Governor Li, it's the right army, and the military order of the former army is invalid for a certain class" The wolf group on Temple Street is arrogant.

As he was talking, Li Xiancheng, the commander of the Right Army, also came to check, and no two words were issued.

"Hehe, your wolf group has finally fallen into someone's hands, why don't you come to talk to General Ben" Ambassador Xue Jian began to snort.

"General Xue, get out of the way, okay?" Just as a team of soldiers carrying wooden platoons passed by, they disliked Ambassador Xue blocking the way.

"Hey" General Xue was speechless and let go, and the people around him were busy performing their duties, but no one paid attention to him, and no one laughed at his villain's words.

Xue Jian had no choice but to personally paced to Yelu Changshi's side and listened to the wolf group's regulations.

"A certain army will bring a house of soldiers and horses, and the vanguard of this battle will be served by a certain former army," General Xue waited until the interval to interject.

The temple street generals only raised their eyes to look at Xue Jian at this time.

"What's wrong? Isn't a little lady? What's there to see? Xue Jian was numb when he saw it.

"General Xue is a good man," Yelu Zhao said leisurely.

"What do you mean?" General Xue's face darkened, he knew that the good people in the mouth of Temple Street were not good words.

"That's it, launch it at the right time" Yelu Zhao ignored it, and the generals of the surrounding temple streets agreed loudly.

Adian is the centurion of the Gangbao at the front of the Tahe River, who was born in the moon at the foot of the Golden Mountain, and is a man of authentic Turkic blood, who only traveled a long way to the Far East last year and was stationed in Tahe City with a team of 10,000 people.

After a year's hard work, and many battles with the Far Eastern Yan Tang Andong Dadu Protectorate, Adian Chuyue has become a qualified Turkic warrior, but the fellow tribesmen and brothers have died in battle, and he has also become an iron-blooded captain who commanded a hundred people from a herdsman who just dropped his whip last year, and is currently one of the two centurions of Fort No. 3.

His subordinates are all soldiers of various departments who were only recruited last year, and they are not good at holding knives and guns, and they are doing their best to rectify and eat, and they have just warmed up the mare's milk and Emmanke naan, Yan Tang called this a hu cake, and I really miss the Ahab naan that was added to the meat in my hometown before, and the kind of naan that can only be eaten openly on the birthday of the golden wolf god is sweet.

In fact, Adian's Chuyue Department is only the Black Turks who have been conquered and integrated, only those Ashina and those who started with him are the authentic Blue Turks, Adian rarely envy those guards who are attached to the wolf soldiers, well-equipped, and eat Kakqi Naan with mutton fat every day.

Adian muttered a few words with a few people and horses to start a routine inspection, Tahe these forts have three layers, three zhang high, bluestone is made of bluestone, there are round and square, the second number is square, each floor has about fifty steps wide and long, each wall opens four holes, for lookout and archery, each floor is open in the middle, there are four wooden ladders, Adian came to the bottom and asked the gatekeepers to move the three iron bolts, drill out of this half-human high small gate, each guard fort has such a small gate and a cover door facing down to the traffic trench in the direction of Tahe.

At the end of June, the air of the Tahe River was fresh, Adian looked at the green mountains in the distance, and missed the wild things a little, but the Yan and Tang soldiers on the other side of the river had surrounded the Tahe River tightly, and the iron commander in the city could say clearly, try to kill the Tang soldiers, protect themselves, and we will consume the Tang army until the snow falls.

The golden wolf god is above, how did your descendants fall to the point where they did not dare to fight with the enemy in the field?

Although the water of the Tahe River is shallow, but the depth is wide, there is more than a mile of muddy tidal flats under the fort, and now it has been filled with two sharpened half-human high wooden stakes, the shadow on the other side of the river is more than enough for people to move, Adian does not care, the Tang soldiers on the other side have been on the other side for more than three days, they have been checking the movement of the Tahe River, and even have the courage to touch the river, and I heard the No. 3 Fort say that a few were shot to death, but the corpse was snatched away by the Tang army companions, Adian only bragged, but one of his subordinates ran out of Huma and said that the opposite side was the soldiers and horses of the Heishui Governor's Mansion, They were the ones who defeated Ardan's flooded Huma, and Adian was very worried when he heard this, he had gone on an expedition with Lord Kolkut to Hailan Pao, and had seen how powerful they were.

He had just walked not far when he saw the people and horses of the adjacent No. 3 Fort also coming to breathe, and before he could say hello, the other party ran back like a rabbit as if he had seen the Demon God.

Adian was in a hurry, and the men who came out together reminded him that there was a signal in this fort, and when he looked up, he saw that someone was waving a red flag on the third floor of his fort two.

"Come back, there's an enemy situation"
