Chapter 341: Deception and Anti-Deception (I)
The wind is blowing, the sky is gradually getting darker, the clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, covering the scorching sun that has been raging for days, a heavy rain is about to fall, the nectar after a long drought is really hard-won, how much can alleviate the disaster of the drought, but for the Tang rangers who are riding horses, it is a little troublesome - a large amount of sand and dust mixed with the wind hits the people and hurts faintly, the vision is blocked, and it is a headache to not be able to speed up the march. If it rains again, I am afraid that all the clues will be completely destroyed, and if it is really mistaken because of this, then the consequences are only unimaginable.
It's definitely a lie to say that you are not in a hurry, don't look at Gao Heng, who is at the forefront of the whole army, with a faint look on his face, there is no trace of anxiety, but in fact, his heart is as if a cat is scratching, and he is uncomfortable like turning over the river and the sea - the first time he led the troops was a heavy burden on his shoulders, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was ordered to be in danger, but seeing that the ten-day period has passed for nearly two days, he has not even arrived at the location of the incident, let alone to track down the whereabouts of Fu Kui's department, which makes Gao Heng full of anxiety in his eyes, but he can't show the slightest in front of the whole army, so I can only carry it silently by myself, how can I be "depressed".
"Sanwazi, how far is it?" Gao Heng looked up at the sky while the horse was galloping, and saw that the rain was about to fall, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, and he glanced at Wang Sanwazi, who was neck and neck with him, and asked, although the tone was gentle, but the anxiety in his heart was that Wang Sheng, such a simple person, could hear it.
Wang Sheng has been following Gao Heng for the past few days, although there is a lot of difference in status between each other, but Gao Heng treats Wang Sheng like a brother, which makes Wang Sheng very moved, at this time seeing Gao Heng is in a hurry, Wang Sheng hurriedly pointed to a big sand dune more than 100 zhang high in the distance, and smiled honestly: "Brother Heng, it's almost time, turn the big sand dune." ”
"Oh." Gao Heng responded, glanced at the big sand dune three miles away, took a deep breath, and ordered in a loud voice: "Blow the trumpet, go full speed!" At this moment, a terrible horn sounded, and the three thousand rangers immediately sprinted at full speed, and rushed quickly in the direction of the great sand dune, but no one noticed that there was a black-clothed soldier on the big sand dune who rushed down the back of the sand dune, jumped on horseback, and galloped away in panic to the east.
It's been four days, it's been four days since the grain transport team was robbed, but the corpses on the battlefield are still lying all over the ground, the remains of the burned carriages, grain and other things are black and dotted on the earthy brown desert, hundreds of Tang cavalry killed in battle still maintain the posture of the last bloody battle, and the scavenging birds are "croaking" in the sky over the battlefield, as if they are protesting against the rapid Tang Rangers who have disturbed their meals, and the wind is blowing, and the bursts are extremely strong The breath is disgusting, a breath of death wafts back and forth over the battlefield, and with the darkening sky, how can it be "miserable"? Rao is Tang Dynasty soldiers are all characters who rolled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, but when they saw such a tragic scene in front of them, they all fell silent, and three thousand men and horses stood neatly on the edge of the battlefield, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and there was a flame of anger burning in everyone's eyes.
"Brother Dazi......" In the dead silence, Wang Sheng suddenly let out a miserable cry, jumped off the horse, stumbled to a corpse not far away that was only half cut and had been pecked beyond recognition by the scavenging birds, and regardless of the corpse, he hugged it and cried loudly.
Gao Heng Tieqing's face twitched, he clenched his fists hatefully, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Captain Liu! ”
Captain Liu, whose real name is Liu Qiming, is one of the three captains in this sortie, this person was originally a sand thief under Liu Whirlwind, and his best skill is to trace and track, at this time he was standing on the side in a daze, as soon as he heard Gao Heng's greeting, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "The last general!" ”
Gao Heng said calmly: "Bring people into the field immediately, be sure to find clues, go quickly!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Qiming answered the promise loudly, quickly ran to the side, and walked into the Shura Field on foot with more than 30 of his subordinates, quickly dispersed, and looked around on the huge battlefield.
Liu Qiming's gang of people not only have the original sand thieves who are good at tracing the sand thieves, but also the grassland hunters who are called from Ashina Thero's department, and there are also martial arts masters selected from the "Rising Sun", all of them are extraordinary, less than a meal, they have found the clues left by the Black Wolf Army before the heavy rain fell, Liu Qiming did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly summarized the various situations, ran to Gao Hengma, and reported loudly: "General Gao, the remains of the Black Wolf Army have not been found at the scene, and they should have been taken away by the Black Wolf Army." , it should not be far from the battlefield, and it is estimated that it will be buried in one place; In addition, alfalfa dried orange stalks were found in the bellies of more than a dozen horses suspected to be killed by the Black Wolf Army, and this grass is only produced in the northern part of the Nalati grassland, at least a thousand miles away from here, so it can be concluded that the place where the Black Wolf Army spent the winter must be in the Nalati grassland, and the hay it carried must have been brought from the Nalati grassland; According to the on-site investigation, the Black Wolf Army entered this place from the east, and when they left, they also withdrew from the east, and it was found that not long ago, a horse had just left this place and rushed to the east, and the last general had sent someone to continue to track, this is the case, please show the general!"
"Oh?" Gao Heng replied noncommittally, looked up at the dark and gloomy sky, frowned and thought about it: "Captain Liu has worked hard, please send a few brothers who are good at tracking to continue to investigate, the whole army will immediately dismount, bury the war dead on the spot, our army will camp under that big sand dune, and we will ...... tomorrow if there is something" Gao Heng said this, just turned his head to the big sand dune not far away, suddenly his eyes lit up, and the words stopped, beckoned Captain Liu to his side, and whispered a few words, Hearing this, Captain Liu nodded again and again......
At last the rain began to fall, and God seemed to make up for the months of rain, and poured rain on the world, and the rain was so dense that it was impossible to see the scene from a few feet away, and the raindrops of soybeans crackled on the roof of the tent, like fried beans, and the noise was unbearable. Fu Kui, dressed in black, walked back and forth in the tent that was not too spacious like a grumpy lion, and his face was full of resentment and anxiety as sharp as a knife and axe - the anger was naturally directed at Li Zhen, the king of Yue, every time he thought of the tragic death of the whole family, Fu Kui's heart ached like a knife, and the anger of revenge burned in his chest. He doesn't want to die and can't die, as long as Li Zhen is alive, he can't die, so he can only endure, even if he knows that Dadushi is using himself, Fu Kui can only accept the fate of being used, as long as he can make Li Zhen uncomfortable, he Fu Kui can do anything, even if he sells his dignity! Anxious, naturally because he was waiting for news, he was waiting, waiting for the suspicious soldiers sent out and the return of the probe to determine the next move.
"Report, General Fu, the Tang Army has been dispatched!" Just as Fu Kui was pacing angrily, a soldier of the Black Wolf Army, whose whole body was drenched in the rain like a chicken in soup, rushed into the tent, nodded to the ground on one knee, and reported loudly.
"Huh?" Fu Kui turned his head suddenly, and strode to the side of the black wolf soldier, regardless of the wet clothes on his body, grabbed his corset, glared and said, "Say, who led the army, how many troops are there, and where are they now?" Say it! ”
Fu Kui since the fight into the black wolf army, because of its martial arts, good ability to lead the troops and set up a place for the magnanimity, its people are harsh, subordinates slightly do not go with their wishes, will be heavily punished, since the beginning of the year to steal the Altai Mountains, every more than one offender in its hands of the officers and soldiers died, the whole army is not afraid of the tiger, however, Fu Kui is not greedy for money, not lustful, rewards and punishments are clear, every spoils of war, never keep privately, all reward the whole army, and good at fighting, before and after several shots, are a big victory, is so, Whether it is a general or an ordinary soldier, they are obedient to it, but there is an order, and there is no one who dares to disobey, the soldier of the Black Wolf Army who was carried up by Fu Kui was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly opened his mouth to report: "General Qiyu, the small one saw that the enemy army was fierce, and he was worried that he would expose his whereabouts, so he didn't dare to stay longer, however, he had seen the banner clearly, the surname of the leader of this army was Gao, and it was not clear who the small one was, the strength was about three thousand, and the equipment was the rangers of the Tang Dynasty. Just outside the battlefield where our army ambushed last time, another team of more than 300 horsemen was rushing to this place in the rain along the small deliberately exposed flaws, and it was estimated that they would be able to reach the ambush circle of our army in more than half an hour. ”
"Surname Gao?" Fu Kui thought about the generals of the Anxi Tang Army that he knew, but he didn't think that there was a general surnamed Gao among them, and for a while some people couldn't understand what Li Zhen's intention was in sending such an unknown general, and the hand holding the soldier unconsciously let go, strode to the large map hanging in the tent, frowned, and pondered silently.
"Three hundred, hey, then take these three hundred people to sacrifice the flag first." After a long time, Fu Kui sneered, said something to himself, turned around, looked at the black-clothed soldier standing in the tent with his hands down, and said coldly: "Pass on the general's order, be sure to destroy all the enemies, and not miss a single person!" ”
"Yes!" The black-clothed soldier who came to report the news replied in a loud voice, and threw himself into the rain curtain despite the heavy rain outside......
Although the rainstorm in the desert is dripping, but it will never last, this is common sense, but there is nothing to say, no, the rain has only been falling for half an hour, and the clouds have dispersed, but the sky is already close to dusk, although the sun poked its head out of the thinning clouds, but it can no longer wreak havoc, just hanging on the horizon in the dusk, rendering the clouds on the horizon of the sky red and yellow, but there are also some poetic scenes, but Liu Qiming's more than 300 riders have no intention to enjoy such scenery, Wearing wet clothes and armor, he walked awkwardly among the gently undulating hills, walking towards a branch of the Tianshan Mountains that penetrated deep into the edge of the desert.
Liu Qiming walked at the forefront of the whole army with a calm face, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, without him, it was unlucky enough to be drenched in the heavy rain, but what made Liu Qiming even more troublesome was that the heavy rain rushed like this, and all the clues were broken, which was like a hunter hunting when he found that the prey suddenly ran away, which made people annoyed, but who is to blame for this, only God can be blamed, it has not rained for several months, and it is really enough to be so ruthless at this time.
"Report, General, I found a clue ahead." Just as Liu Qiming was riding forward with a tired face, a spiky soldier who had been released rushed over from behind a small hillside not far ahead, and said a loud report.
"Oh? Let's go, let's go! When Liu Qiming heard this, his spirit was suddenly lifted, and with a wave of his hand, he led the whole army to rush forward, and the galloping horses' hooves stepped on the soft grass, splashing countless sludges.
"General, look." Several of the swimming sentinels who had already gathered heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind them, all turned around, and when Liu Qiming came closer, a big man with a full beard handed Liu Qiming a broken stirrup.
The break on the stirrup is obviously new, and Liu Qiming's old way can be seen at a glance, he frowned, looked at the mountain beam less than a mile away, and after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said: "The whole army dismounts and rests on the spot, and the two groups A and B are responsible for guarding!" Liu Qiming gave this order, except for the two cavalry squads of ten people each scattered their horses to keep guard, the remaining two hundred or so cavalry stopped in front of a small hill no more than ten feet high, and did not start to set up camp, as if they did not realize that it was getting late.
The Tang army stopped and didn't tighten, but it made the black wolf officers and soldiers who were ambushed near the mountain beam a mile away in advance depressed - when the Tang army was drenched in the rain before, the black wolf army in ambush was soaked in the rain, and originally thought that the Tang army would not come to such a big rain, but I didn't expect the Tang army to arrive here at the bottom, but it stopped outside its own encirclement. It's almost dark, and God knows if Tang Jun will not move forward, so he can't lie in the mud for a night.
The Tang army seemed to stop moving as soon as it stopped, not only did the more than 200 cavalry who stopped to rest no longer move their nests, but even the mobile sentinels that were wandering around no longer moved forward, and only walked around on a few small hills nearby, as if they were planning to camp here, but they did not see the Tang officers and soldiers unloading tents and other things from their horses, which made the black wolf officers and soldiers in the distance wonder what kind of nerve the Tang army was doing.
Not good, fooled! Fu Kui stood on the mountain beam and carefully observed the movements of the Tang army under the cover of a big tree, suddenly woke up, secretly exclaimed in his heart, his face suddenly turned pale, gritted his teeth, raised his hand, just thought of ordering the whole army to attack immediately and drive away this Tang army, but saw a black line on the horizon in the distance, with Fu Kui's eyesight, he knew that it was the Tang cavalry of the brigade, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and the hand that had been raised was frozen in the air.
"General Fu, the main force of the Tang Army has arrived, how should our army respond, please give instructions to the general." Just when Fu Kui was in a daze, a general dressed in the costume of a thousand households ran over a little panting, and asked anxiously.
"Got it." Fu Kui put down his hand raised in the air, didn't even look at the head of the thousand households, and responded very calmly.
This thousand households is named Gree Sudden Loss, is a brave general under the generous set up, is one of the five thousand household chiefs who went out with Fu Kui this time, he has always been unruly, he is not satisfied with Fu Kui can be reused by Dadu, and Fu Kui has competed in public, but he has not been able to walk under Fu Kui's gun, since then only Fu Kui's order is obeyed, but all Fu Kui's orders, he has never asked why, just resolutely follow the order, but at this time saw that the main force of the Tang Army was about to arrive, Fu Kui did not give any orders, couldn't help but get anxious, and said loudly: "General Fu, the enemy army is in full swing, our army should not fight hard, it is better to avoid it for the time being, I hope the general will make a decision as soon as possible." ”
"I can't leave, General Gerry immediately passed on the general's order, and told all the brothers to withdraw to the mountain beam immediately, and then make a decision after dark." Fu Kui shook his head with a wry smile, didn't explain much, just gave the order to withdraw the troops.
"This ......" Gerry suddenly didn't understand why Fu Kui gave this strange order, but he didn't ask any more, after hesitating slightly, he went to pass the order, and after a while, a horn sounded, and the two black wolf army cavalry of more than 300 horsemen each ambushed behind the mountain bag on both sides of the mountain beam ran out of the ambush one after another, rushed up the mountain beam that was not very steep, and disappeared in the grove behind the mountain beam, and although the three hundred Tang rangers led by Liu Qiming all turned over on horseback, But he did not launch an attack, but just watched the cavalry of the Black Wolf Army retreat to the mountain beam two or three hundred zhang away, but after a while, Gao Heng led the main army to the bottom of the mountain beam, but did not immediately attack, but joined forces with Liu Qiming, and set up a camp under the mountain beam in a big way.
Fu Kui turned out from behind the big tree with a pale face, silently staring at Gao Heng standing under the fiery red battle flag of the Tang Army, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, Gao Heng seemed to have noticed the killing intent from the mountain beam, raised his head, and looked at Fu Kui, who was dressed in black and standing under the tree, with a powerful battle intent bursting out in his eyes......
