Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 126 Field Battle
At this time, Chengxin had already received the information that the Turks were on the road, and his originally calm heart was also completely beating at this moment, and he sighed and greeted Cheng Chu, who was on the side, and said silently: "Brother Cheng, you send someone to send a letter back to Jingzhou with Uncle Tuesday, tell them that the Turks are already on the way, and let them get ready!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Uncle Tuesday and said, "Uncle Tuesday, you have worked hard to take care of me during this time, this time I will trouble you to bring a letter to Jingzhou City, and then you should leave as soon as possible, you Jianghu people should not be involved in this matter!" ”
Uncle Tuesday was a little surprised when he heard the words of Chengxin, he thought that Xiangxin would definitely keep himself to protect him, although Uncle Tuesday was a little hesitant when he heard the words of Xiangxin, he still nodded, and returned to Jingzhou City with the people sent by Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo looked at Uncle Tuesday who was far away, and said to the satisfaction on the side: "Why do you want him to leave, leave him by your side to protect you, at least he can save your life!" ”
He looked at the soldiers who were still asleep on the side, and said something that surprised him, "I'm tired, I might as well die like this!" ”
Cheng Chumo was shocked, and hurriedly pulled his heart, for fear that such unmorale words would be heard by other soldiers, and the commander did not have the confidence to fight, how do you let the soldiers fight.
Satisfaction also took care of it, and looked at Xu Dongdao on the side: "Do you have any way, there are not even a few decent stones on the mountain near here, I really don't know what to do!" ”
Xu Dong was also a little distressed, although he knew the terrain well, but he still didn't understand the things of marching and fighting, and he could only shake his head helplessly when he heard the words that he was happy with.
Cheng Chumo instructed his subordinates to flag the opposite one, and then turned his head and said: "Don't think too much about the two of you, the spies have said that there are at least more than 10,000 Turks, and they all rest in the mountains during the day, and they will only march on the road at night, which shows that they are still very careful, plus the siege equipment they bring is a very small kind, and when it comes to the day of defending the city, they may not be able to break the city soon, we can still defend it for a while!" ”
Satisfied, he still trusts Cheng Chumo very much, but now it is a situation where it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice, and there are more than 10,000 people on his side and 10,000 people on the other side, how to fight this battle, who can have a conclusion!
The news of the whistle would come every once in a while, and it made everyone's mood more and more nervous, and everyone was waiting for the quiet reward of this night, and everyone knew that this night was the time when the Turks would pass by the ambush place.
Looking at the reward at night, it was unfortunate that there was only a light rain during the day, but there was a strong wind at night, and this wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
The city of Jingzhou is also paying close attention to the situation here, and they also know the news that the Turks have appeared at this time, and they are all anxiously looking at the mountain peaks in the dark night, for fear of learning that the war has begun later.
Everyone watched with bated breath as the road below took place, and the Turks crossed the corner and came into view, a U-shaped junction, and when they found it, they decided to ambush here.
At this time, the vanguard of the Turks was tiptoeing forward, and everyone behind them was also following closely, although the long line did not make a sound, but the sound of footsteps and carriages in this valley could not be hidden.
Seeing that the length of this team was beyond imagination, and everyone's ambush circle could not completely surround this team, he watched the vanguard of the Turks get out of the encirclement before he ordered: "Do it, you can't wait any longer!" ”
Cheng Chumo on the side heard this and immediately lit the fireworks, and in an instant the sky was lit by brilliant fireworks, although the wind was blowing, but the fireworks still lit up the entire night sky.
Yu Chi Baolin, who was on the opposite hill, had also been staring at the Turkic ranks, and finally waited for Cheng Chumo's signal, and Yu Chi Baolin immediately ordered: "Do it!" ”
The only few big stones were pushed down the mountain, spinning rapidly with potential energy, and Cheng Chumo's side was no exception, and he immediately ordered the stones to be pushed down.
In addition to the big stones, the small stones, the logs, and the only things that were left were thrown away by everyone.
The Turkic troops under the mountain panicked the moment the fireworks were lit up, and everyone no longer stopped speaking, but shouted loudly, "There is an enemy, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
Although they have been on high alert, they were also a little panicked when they were suddenly attacked, and the huge stones quickly took away several lives, even the carriage and horses fell to the ground in an instant, and the wooden stakes and stones also brought a lot of trouble, but they were all slightly injured, so this first round of attacks probably only took the lives of less than a hundred people.
Looking at the Turks who had returned to normal after a period of panic, he said helplessly: "There are too few stones, otherwise more people can be taken away!" ”
Xu Dong on the side also said with some pity: "Actually, the most pity is the green jaw flower mechanism I set up at the entrance before, if it wasn't for the wind too strong tonight, I think they should have someone in a coma!" ”
Xiangxin also sighed a little, "Maybe this is God helping them again, what should we do to stop these more than 10,000 people!" ”
Cheng Chumo interrupted on the side: "Don't complain here, the Turks have already started to climb the mountain!" ”
Xiangxin also saw that the Turks were climbing up the mountain, and hurriedly ordered: "Let Yu Chi Baolin go to the gate of Jingzhou City and wait, remember to let them be seen by the Turks when they enter the city, otherwise don't enter the city!" ”
Cheng Chumo knew the meaning of satisfaction, and while waving the flag to let Yu Chi Baolin lead people back to Jingzhou City, he instructed his subordinates: "Go to the gate of Jingzhou City to stop them, and tell them that they can only enter the city when the Turks can see them enter the city!" ”
The people attacking on the hill were fleeting, and after the Turks had climbed to the top of the mountain with great difficulty, there were no people to be seen, and seeing the small pits left behind, the Turks were furious, and they had planned to attack tomorrow night, but they were going to do it today.
Night Lieutenant Chi Baolin led more than 100 people to Jingzhou City, but the opposite mountain was running in the opposite direction, in fact, it was also dangerous to do so, after all, the Turks were also climbing the mountain at this time, if the two groups of people encountered, I am afraid it would not be a blocking battle, but a small dish sent to the door!
Fortunately, they ran in the direction of the west and walked in the direction of the descending mountain, although they were going in the opposite direction, but they still kept a little distance from the Turkic team, leaving them with only a mess all over the ground.
Satisfied, with these soldiers, lay in a mountain forest, and by this time they were already some distance from the Turks.
The Turks also learned to be obedient after an attack, and completely divided the team into three parts, the middle road was carried by people carrying grain and grass siege trucks, and the mountains on both sides were also probed, for fear of another ambush.
This not only slowed down the march of the Turks, but also left a lot of time for Satisfaction.
Seeing the fireworks light up, Li Chengqian and Tang Xin's hearts were beating wildly, although they could only see the corner of the fireworks, but they had already made up the scenes of the big battle in their brains.
Although the expected roar did not appear, they all silently prayed for Chengxin and the others in their hearts, for fear that something would happen to them.
At this time, Xiangxin also gave an order, "Everyone returns to the original state this time, in groups of ten, to hunt down the Turks who came to the top of the mountain to investigate, but our most important purpose is to find a way to burn their grain and grass!" Everyone must take out the skills they have practiced in the woods before, and don't run to the top of the mountain to fight them, even if you think you can fight! ”
When everyone knew about this mission, they were a little happy and wanted to laugh, remembering the jungle where they used to train with their brothers, and now the biggest task was to trick the Turks into the mountains and forests!
After receiving the order, everyone disappeared into the jungle, although the distance between Jingzhou City and Yizhou City is not particularly far, but the terrain is completely different, the mountains and forests outside Jingzhou City are dense, and the outside of Yizhou City is a plateau plain, such a difference in terrain makes Xiangxin decide to guide the Turks to hunt in the woods.
The day was getting brighter, and the Turks were carefully probing the traces around the top of the mountain, and the pace at the foot of the mountain was gradually slowing down, all waiting for a complete siege tomorrow after today's rest.
Although at this time, it was already known that the Datang soldiers were prepared, but the roads near here were all at the foot of the mountain, and if they could not completely eliminate the hidden dangers on the mountain, they would not be able to move forward with confidence.
The Turks on the mountain looked carefully at the jungle not far away, and suddenly a dark arrow hit and directly exploded the head of a Turkic soldier, and the rest of the people immediately surrounded them, seeing a figure appear in the woods and disappear, they ran over while shouting!
"There are Tang soldiers here, come quickly!"
When they entered the woods, these Turkic soldiers were completely blinded, because they didn't know where a Tang soldier would appear, and they killed them with lightning speed, and disappeared before the soldiers behind could react.
The soldiers at the foot of the mountain and the soldiers on the opposite side of the mountain soon discovered that only this time could find traces of the Tang soldiers, and it seemed that the number was not to be underestimated, because the first soldiers who went up the mountain and were about to be killed by the Tang soldiers.
The Turkic leaders were shocked and angry, on the one hand, they were afraid that the Tang soldiers would be harassing them on their flanks, and on the other hand, they were worried that their soldiers would be annihilated in the woods after going up the mountain, but after much consideration, they still decided to clean up the woods next to them first, and then prepare for tonight's siege.
It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful, and yesterday's light rain caused the original dry grass and branches in the woods to be damp at this time, and the idea of wanting to attack with fire had to be invalidated.
Seeing that more and more soldiers were dying, and three or four hundred people were about to die, the Turkic general ordered a large army to go up the mountain and completely sweep the flanks.
