Chapter 22: Xiao Zhao

The sun was scorching, and a group of old and weak soldiers walked in the narrow valley, everyone sweating profusely.

On both sides of the canyon, the Ottoman army was in ambush, and they waited quietly for the Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers to enter, as if they were waiting for their prey to be sent to the door.

Above the steep valley, the steepness is infinite, and it is condescending.

Beneath the seemingly yellow meadows and woodlands, the Ottoman army had already prepared a large number of powder kegs, boulders and logs, waiting for the Qing army to come to support them and wipe them out.

The generalissimo of the Ottoman Empire, Ya Li, learned from the bribed internal spies that the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who supported Yumen Pass would inevitably pass by here at three o'clock in the afternoon today, and arranged for his subordinate general Telangfu to lead the elite to ambush here for a long time, waiting to wipe out the main force supported by the Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, this conspiracy was inadvertently known by a concubine of Ya Oak when Ya Li was discussing with other generals in the tent.

This little concubine's nickname is Xiao Zhao, and she is a border citizen looted from the border of the Qing Dynasty, and she has a deep hatred for Ya Oak.

Xiao Zhao always wanted to skin and crush the bones of the arrow oak and split the corpses of the five horses, but because of the limited strength of the woman and the strict guards, she always had no chance to get off.

It was the Ottoman Soldiers' Carnival, and the soldiers were drinking and having fun together, and Xiao Zhao took the opportunity to escape from the land of right and wrong, and the first thing he did when he escaped was to immediately find a way to help the Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers defeat this most hated Ya Oak tribe.

Because Xiao Zhao has heard a lot about the Mo School, and Xiao Zhao's cousin Dai Yu is also a disciple of the Mo School, he once studied with Tao Fuzi in Qingtianguan for a period of time, and now he is enslaved by the landlord to help them raise horses, and the two often have contact.

Xiao Zhao immediately informed Dai Yu of the news, and Dai Yu used the regular secret meetings of the members of the Mohist School to urgently convey the reinforcements that the Ottoman Empire would ambush in the Ziqi Valley to support, and successfully obtained the battle plan of the Ottoman Empire.

The members of the Mohist school are distributed all over the country, but the speed of information transmission is so fast, it is only eight hours, and Runzhi, who is far away in Yangzhou, has already received urgent information.

So the pigeon flew overnight and passed the book to Mo Yilin, a disciple at the headquarters of the Mo family, and this was the scene where Mo Yilin visited Tian Wenjing.

Tian Wenjing not only sent Mo Yilin away, but also donated 1,000 taels of gold to the Mohist School as office funds, and sent the sergeants to safely transport them to the designated area of the Mohist School.

"The general has an order, when the team marches to the Zzi valley for a third of the time, the front team will be the rear team, and the back team will be the front team, and retreat quickly, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

In this army, which was composed of old and weak soldiers, it deliberately carried part of the grain and grass baggage. At this time, the soldiers whispered to each other in secret.

One step, two steps, three steps, people have a thrilling feeling with every step, but the general said that you must pretend to be calm.

"Retreat, retreat!"

After the one-third marked soldiers entered, the soldiers began to retreat in a hurry according to the plan.

Seeing this, the Ottoman generals quickly rushed down the mountain and chased after the old and weak troops sent by Tian Wenjing, frantically grabbing grain, grass and baggage.

Suddenly, the Ottoman army's lineup was in disarray due to looting.

In an instant, thousands of archers suddenly appeared in all directions, aiming at the elite troops sent by Ya Li, who participated in the ambush, and thousands of sharp arrows were shot towards the elite soldiers of Ausuman, and in just an instant, the Ottoman army lost most of it.

By this time, the defeat of the Ottoman army in the ambush was assured, and some of the routed soldiers were trying to break through, and some of them were running and crying and shouting strange bird songs.

"Chong, resist the invasion, protect my rivers and mountains!"

Tian Wenjing's Five Banners Army's encirclement of the Ottoman soldiers gradually narrowed, and then the ambush army that tried to ambush the Qing army was completely annihilated.

Colorful flags fluttered, singing and dancing.

In the Yumen Pass, many soldiers are holding a "celebration banquet" to celebrate the arrival of the reinforcements and the victory of the first battle of the reinforcements, and to celebrate the defeat of the army before the beginning of the Ya Li.

Tian Wenjing ordered the soldiers to publicize the convening of the celebration banquet everywhere, and brought hundreds of singing and dancing beauties from the city to which Yumen Pass belonged, and deliberately sang and danced near the barracks.

At this moment, the Ottoman army was eyeing the city outside, but the city was full of joy, which made people can't help but question his Tian Wenjing's command ability.

"Report, visit Malay report, inside Yumen Pass, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are holding a celebration banquet, and the defense of Yumen Pass has been greatly reduced!"

A soldier wearing a red and black Ottoman uniform appears in front of Ya Oak and reports the latest battlefield situation to Ya Oak.

For Ya Oak, this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack, and with such a good opportunity, Ya Que cannot be unmoved at all.

How is it possible, I heard that the old general Tian Wenjing of the Qing Dynasty is both civil and military, he is a military genius, and a veteran of the battlefield with rich experience, how can he commit such a taboo in soldiers!

Ya Li felt very puzzled in his heart, but his subordinates were already ready to move, and they were all eager to try, obviously most of the generals thought that this was a good time to completely defeat the defenders of Yumen Pass, seize Yumen Pass, and then capture the land of the Qing Dynasty and expand the territory area!

A general, sometimes not alone, has the final say, and for the opinion of the majority of the generals, unless the general is sure enough to win, in most cases he will often agree with the opinion of the majority of the generals, or persuade the generals to agree with their opinions.

"Tell me to go down, stick to the camp, and no one is allowed to act without my orders!"

Ya Oak temporarily gave an order, this order seemed to him very far-fetched, a bit like a piece of fat in his hand, but he didn't dare to eat it.

"Generalissimo, the enemy army is holding a celebration banquet at this time, it is the most empty time for its garrison, it can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, such an opportunity, it can be said that the opportunity cannot be lost and will not come again, if it is held and then attacked, it will be too late to regret!"

"If the generalissimo is worried, in this attack, the generalissimo can wait for the news for the time being, and we will go forward to break through the Yumen Gate Tower, and the head of the Xiang of Tian Wenjing will come to see you!"

"Please give the order to attack the city quickly!"

The generals began to kneel in front of the oak, originally the Ottoman Empire did not promote this kind of kneeling ceremony, but because of the more dealings with the Qing Dynasty army and the people, began to gradually use this special ritual symbol.

"Please give the order to attack the city quickly!"

All of Yaka's generals fell to their knees in front of Yaka, and for those who knelt, their minds were filled with thousands of slaves and women to be slaughtered, vast tracts of fertile land, and of course, thousands of chests of gold, silver, and jewelry.
