Chapter 364: Night Attack on Xiyun Slope.
In Yanmen Pass, after Feng Yebei decided to surprise attack Xiyunpo, he and Wang Bukong went down to prepare, except for the two of them, there were only 100 horsemen accompanying them, so it was not easy to be discovered. At this time, Wang Bukong was making preparations before leaving, including preparing torches, etc., at this time, Shen Tuyuan came over and said to him: "Monk Wang, I will accompany you this time, I have quietly put sweat medicine in the military division's meal, and he will not be able to get up for a while." ”
Wang Bukong looked at him in surprise and said, "If you do this, you will touch the military law, are you not afraid that the military advisor will wake up and punish you?" And what are you going to do with the Flying Feather Battalion? ”
"The Flying Feather Battalion can be without a commander, but the Xuanjia Army can't do without a military division, you should know very well, and the military division has been blind since the last battle, how can we let him do such a dangerous thing again? As long as the surprise attack can be successful, I can accept the punishment no matter how much, this opportunity is fleeting, don't have any more worries, after a stick of incense, we will set off. ”
Wang Bukong is not the kind of person who twists and entangles, Shen Tuyuan said this, he naturally wants to support his brothers, after getting ready, the two of them took the elite of the hundred horsemen, from the northeast of Guangwu City, that is, Dongcheng Pass, and Xiyunpo is in the area of Dongyun Snow Ridge. After the group left from Dongcheng Pass, they went straight to Xiyunpo, at this moment, An Lushan's army was stationed in the area of the ancient battlefield, and their grain and grass camp was probably only guarded by a thousand people.
Half an hour later, they arrived outside Xiyunpo, everyone dismounted and walked, quietly approaching the grain and grass camp hundreds of meters away, and then hidden, Wang Bukong said to Shen Tuyuan: "In this way, I will lead a group of people to rush in from the gate and disturb them, and you take the rest of the people to burn their grain and grass, and after you succeed, withdraw immediately." ”
Shen Tuyuan's archery skills can be said to be second to none today, that is, their current position, as long as he wants, he can also shoot rockets into the grain and grass camp of the Wolf Tooth Army, but this speed is too slow, and it is easy to give the other party time to react. Wang Bukong took eighty people back and rode on his war horse, and then went straight to the gate of the grain and grass camp, and the shouting of killing instantly woke up the wolf's tooth army, and they looked at Wang Bukong and his party who rushed over, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet the battle.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Tuyuan took the remaining twenty people to quietly touch the back of Xiyunpo, and then rushed up with torches, their purpose was only the other party's grain and grass, and they had no intention of fighting at all. Seeing that all the torches were thrown at the grain and grass they had hoarded, the Wolf Tooth Army was completely angry and launched a fierce charge towards the Xuanjia Army, and after Shen Tuyuan succeeded, he naturally wouldn't stay any longer, and led people to slip out from the rear.
Wang Bukong saw that the fire in the grain and grass camp had started, and immediately ordered a retreat, and the wolf tooth army chased out about hundreds of people, and the rest stayed to extinguish the fire. There is a small river next to Xiyunpo, which was originally frozen, and after the wolf tooth army came, they broke the ice, and now they are diverting water to extinguish the fire, but the fire is too fast, and all the food and grass are burned, even if they extinguish the fire together, they can't turn the tide in an instant.
In the direction of the ancient battlefield, General Cao looked at the red light of Xiyunpo, and hurriedly said to An Lushan: "General, something is wrong, something seems to have happened to Xiyunpo, come out and take a look." An Lushan came out of the tent, looked at the fire in the direction of Xiyunpo, and his eyes widened: "It's a disaster, our grain and grass camp!" I didn't expect to trap them in Yanmen Pass, and they were not honest enough to burn down my grain and grass camp. ”
Gardonzan touched the rosary in his hand and said, "General, I have already said that you will put all the grain and grass behind the army, if you had listened to me earlier, how could you have been burned by the night attack of the Xuanjia army?" Saying that, Gardongzan looked at General Cao with a smile, because it was General Cao's intention to place the grain and grass camp in Xiyunpo.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, there are four red-coated cannons in Yanmen Pass, if you put the grain and grass camp in the rear of the army, it will only become their target. We can't enter Yanmen Pass for a long time, isn't it because of the containment of these red-clothed cannons, the order goes down, the army retreats five miles, General Cao, please go to the Xiren tribe to borrow some grain and grass... Forget it, I'll go in person. ”
The Xi tribe, in the north of Yanmen Pass, for many years, the Xi tribe has often harassed Yanmen Pass, but just three years ago, the leader of the Xi tribe, Battle, was beheaded by Yan Wangqing, and then the Xi tribe fell into a long incubation period. Battle's son Kumo has always been obsessed with this matter, so he secretly trained a team of Xi people's children to take revenge, after An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, Kumo felt that the time was ripe, so there was the last incident of the joint attack on the Xuanjia Army.
After Xue Zhi's death, Kumo's ambition gradually revealed, and he wanted to take the opportunity to attack Dongcheng Pass, but his time to send troops was based on An Lushan's fighters, so the war was delayed. In the place of the ancient battlefield, the wolf's tooth army retreated five miles overnight, and An Lushan also took advantage of the night to take General Cao to the Xi tribe, and it was not until the next day that they finally arrived at the Xi tribe and met Kumo.
An Lushan got straight to the point and said: "Leader Kumo, let's be straight, I came to you this time to borrow some grain and grass, the grain and grass we hoarded were burned by the Xuanjia Army, there is no way, the grain and grass from our tribe are still on the way, and we can't get here for a while." ”
Kumo looked at An Lushan in surprise and said, "Didn't you trap the Xuanjia Army in Yanmen Pass, how could they still burn grain and grass by them?" How much do you need? ”
"200,000 stones, as long as our grain and grass arrive, we will return it to you immediately, but we will at least survive this half a month, and when our grain and grass arrive, we will definitely return it to you." Or let's do it, when we break through the Yanmen Pass and capture the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan City will be yours, how about it? ”
Kumo couldn't believe his ears, looked at An Lushan in surprise, and then said: "That's it, the two of you are coming in the starry night, you must be tired, it's better to go and eat and drink first, let's talk after resting, and give me a little time to think about it, I'll let people prepare wine and food for the two of you now." ”
An Lushan was not in a hurry, anyway, he made his intention clear, and originally he was waiting for an opportunity, before the heavy rain came, he would not attack Yanmen Pass. After An Lushan and General Cao left, a tall man beside Kumo got up and said: "Chief, this thief is not credible, he even betrayed the Tang Dynasty, if we give him grain and grass now, in case he turns his face and denies people one day, we may not be their opponents." ”
The person who spoke was one of Kumo's generals, Tara, and when Kumo heard him say this, he raised his hand and said, "Don't rush to conclusions, I want to think about how much it will benefit us to help him, you guys go down first." ”
