Chapter 49: Skillful Entry into Shenwu (3)
Dangerous, so fucking dangerous! Li Zhen looked back at Kaiyang City from a distance, and when he saw the cavalry of the Baye Ancient Department who were swarming out of the city gate, a cold sweat broke out on his vest - in Li Zhen's original plan, he did not take away this group of young and strong thoughts, according to Li Zhen's idea, he planned to put the armor replaced by the Tang cavalry army on the grass man, and then confused the enemy of Kaiyang City with the strategy of "goat hanging the drum upside down", and led the pro-guard team to slip away in the dark night, but what Li Zhen didn't expect was that there was a lot of grass and sheep, but there was no time to tie the grass man, without him, When Hou Guozhong led the cavalry to leave, the sky was almost dawn, not to mention the straw man, it was too late to lead a young man with little combat effectiveness to escape, and in desperation, Li Zhen had to learn from his ancestor Li Guang's trick of "retreating the Huns".
After? At this time, Li Zhen was not very worried that the Baye Ancient Department would raise troops to chase and kill him with all his might, not to mention that the Baye Ancient Department might not be able to catch up with Li Zhen and his party at this time, even if it could be chased, the Baye Ancient Department would not necessarily chase after him, without him, except for those captured young men who were taken away by Li Zhen, all the property plundered by the Baye Ancient Department from Kaiyang was still well placed in the camp, for the grassland tribe, the harvest is the first, and the rest can be ignored, with those belongings and the armor left by the Tang cavalry, How could the Baye Ancient Department still have the heart to chase and kill the Tang Dynasty cavalry that had gone far, but well, the truth is so, but Li Zhen is not completely sure, God knows if the Baye Ancient Department will suddenly have a big explosion of character, desperate to chase and kill, therefore, as soon as he saw the Baye Ancient Department rushing out of the city, Li Zhen didn't wait long at all, urging his gang of miscellaneous fish to speed up and run towards Fosu Mountain.
Fosu Mountain, also known as Caoduo Mountain, according to legend, Manjushri Bodhisattva twice stayed in this mountain, so the name Fosu Mountain, closely connected with Mantou Mountain, stretching for more than 100 miles, these two mountains are not very famous, compared with Wutai Mountain, Heng Mountain is just two nameless mountains, but there is one but not under those famous mountains, that is the height - whether it is Fosu Mountain or Mantou Mountain is a big mountain with an altitude of more than 2,500 meters, the vegetation is dense, there are many ravines, the south of the mountain belongs to Daizhou, the north of the mountain belongs to Shuozhou, the ancient county Shenwu is at the foot of the Buddha Mountain, The road from Shenwu to Kaiyang must also pass through this mountain.
It was past noon, on a small hillside of Fosu Mountain, the deputy pioneer Qin Huaiyu was anxiously looking at both ends of the mountain road, and there was no stability in his heart, not only worried that the servant solid department in the direction of Shenwu would not divide the troops, but also worried that the soldiers and horses of the servant solid department would pass through here before Li Zhen and his party, if so, no matter whether Li Zhen and his party had concealed the ancient department of Baye, the entire plan of this trip would be ruined, without him, if Li Zhen had a mistake, Qin Huaiyu would not be able to explain to the emperor at all. Seeing that the sun gradually rose to the center, not only did he not see Li Zhen coming, but he also did not see the reinforcements of the servant department, Qin Huaiyu was so anxious that the sweat on his head was dripping down his cheeks, but he didn't dare to act rashly, how could the torment in his heart be uncomfortable.
Just when Qin Huaiyu was about to look through, a rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the road in the direction of Kaiyang, and a Biao army horse turned around the foot of the mountain in the smoke and dust, and was coming towards the valley, and the person at the head was Li Zhen, the king of Yue. Seeing that Li Zhen was safe and sound, Qin Huaiyu's hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach, but when he looked at the hundreds of Tang troops behind Li Zhen, his heart chuckled suddenly, and he didn't care about concealment, so he hurriedly jumped on his war horse, rushed down the hillside, and greeted him in the direction where Li Zhen came.
"Your Highness, you can be regarded as coming back, could it be ......" Qin Huaiyu just said this, and suddenly found that the Tang Dynasty cavalry soldiers who were following behind Li Zhen were not in good clothes and armor, and they were all fresh faces, and he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while What was going on, and the words stopped.
Qin Huaiyu's doubts Li Zhen knew in her heart, smiled, didn't explain much, waved her hand and said, "Huaiyu, is there any movement in the direction of Shenwu?" ”
Qin Huaiyu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's just ......" Qin Huaiyu hadn't finished speaking, but seeing that the lookout post on the top of the hillside was shaking the flag vigorously, he immediately changed his words: "Your Highness, there is movement in the direction of Shenwu." ”
Damn, it's finally here, his grandmother's, almost got people stuck in the road! Li Zhen was in a hurry, how dare she delay any longer, and hurriedly ordered: "Go up the mountain, enter the forest, move quickly!" ”
As soon as Li Zhen gave the order, a group of miscellaneous fish soldiers immediately swarmed to the hillside to drill into the woods on the hillside, and the action was very fast, but the problem was that although this group of miscellaneous soldiers could ride and shoot, they had never had military training, and the men and horses were all crowded together.
Smiled bitterly, seeing the embarrassed appearance of the group of miscellaneous fish soldiers, Li Zhen really didn't know what to say except for a wry smile, shook his head, and didn't bother to explain to Qin Huaiyu, leading the guards to rush to the hillside in front.
To be honest, Li Zhen didn't expect that the reinforcements of the Fugu Department would be sent so late - according to Li Zhen's expectations, the reinforcements of the Fugu Department should have passed here a long time ago, and on the way back to this place, Li Zhen also deliberately detoured the path, just to avoid the reinforcements of the Fugu Ministry, but what he didn't expect was that Li Zhen returned several hours later than the scheduled plan, but the reinforcements of the Fugu Department had just been dispatched, which made Li Zhen nerve-wracked- When Li Zhen went to Kaiyang, he gave Qin Huaiyu a death order: If Li Zhen does not return and the reinforcements of the Fugu Department have appeared, then do not fight, and everything will be discussed when Li Zhen comes back, but now the reinforcements of the Fugu Department are late, whether to fight or not, how to fight has become a big problem in front of Li Zhen.
The road from Shenwu to Kaiyang is quite flat, and the only difficult place is where Li Zhen and the others are located - the original straight road, when they get here, they turn into the hills, the road is tortuous, and it is very narrow, and the two sides of the road are full of cliffs several zhang high, even if there are occasional gentle slopes, the slopes are all dense forests, which is really a good place for ambushes. At this moment, Li Zhen's 2,500 infantry had already been ambushed in place, and all kinds of ambush weapons such as sasswood, rolling stones, and ballistas had already been prepared, and they could launch an attack as soon as the enemy army entered this place. Due to the narrow and tortuous roads here, the cavalry is bound to be unable to gallop, and for the ambush side, the cavalry that cannot move is simply a live target, not to mention how cool it is, but how to fight has to be calculated.
Annihilation of the enemy? That is neither realistic nor that time, looking at the smoke and dust, there are four or five thousand enemy troops coming, even if Li Zhen's department occupies the time and place, but it is obviously not easy to completely annihilate the enemy, without him, the road here is narrow, the cavalry brigade can not rush in, it is bound to open the formation, Li Zhen's department can not fight the tail after the head, it is easy to defeat the enemy, and it is difficult to annihilate the enemy; Besides, Li Zhen's original intention was not to annihilate the enemy army that was trying to reinforce Kaiyang, but to take advantage of the situation to enter Shenwu, even if Li Zhen tried his best to annihilate this enemy army, not to mention that time dragged on, it could not achieve the strategic purpose of solving the Shenwu crisis, it was simply a matter of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, not to mention that this place was only less than ten miles away from Shenwu.
"Your Highness." Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, and Li Zhen had never given a battle order, Qin Huaiyu, who was standing beside Li Zhen, finally couldn't help but give a reminder.
"Oh." Li Zhen came back to her senses from her contemplation, glanced at Qin Huaiyu, who was looking anxious, gritted her teeth and said, "Fight!" Send the order down, let go of the enemy's front team, and act according to the king's orders. ”
Although Qin Huaiyu has been promoted to the position of Zhonglang general, he also has a good martial arts, but he has never actually fought, generally relying on the support of his father and Li Shimin's grace, this expedition he is also the same as Li Zhen is a big girl on the sedan chair once, when he saw Li Zhen made up his mind to fight, his face suddenly showed an excited look, of course, there was also a trace of nervousness, he let out a sigh of relief, and didn't say anything more, just glanced at Li Zhen, nodded heavily, rode his horse down the mountain, and went to the other side of the road... …
Sprinting at the forefront of the army, Bayo Tuo was anxious, eager to grow his wings, as soon as possible to rush to Kaiyang City to rescue his own people, but unfortunately he was in a hurry, but the servant people were not very anxious, at least the commander of the Fugu reinforcements beside him, Tong Jin Dagu, was not in a hurry, and the departure was delayed for more than half an hour, not to mention, the horse speed on this road was also very slow, and it was always unhurried, which made Baye Tuo hate his teeth, but it was a pity that at this time, Baye Gubu had a request for help, but he could not allow Baye Tuo to lose his temper, I can only accompany the careful and constantly say good things, trying to make the servant Gu Department speed up the speed of the march, but unfortunately the effect is pitiful, no, just entered the mountain, Tong Jin Dagu immediately excused that the Tang army may have an ambush here, not only did not speed up the march, but also claimed that he had to send someone in to search before the whole army could pass, and when he landed, he would be so angry that he would be angry, and then he remembered the bullshit between last night's request for help and today's noon troops, and he was even more angry, and he didn't talk to Tong Jin Dagu. just threw down a sentence - our troops went into the mountains to reconnoiter first, and your army followed up, so they led the people of the ancient tribe of Baye to rush into the mountain path.
In the face of Bayo's rude behavior, Tong Jin Dagu didn't say much, just shrugged his shoulders, staring at the team of Bayogu's troops entering the mountain with a pair of eyes, his face was gloomy and terrifying......
