Chapter 783: Big Victory
783
However, what happened next showed the Turks how stupid their ideas were.
Where will the Han army fight with them, since an ambush has been set up, of course, it is necessary to do it as much as possible.
Dozens of torches were thrown, and the tents were quickly set ablaze. The Turks realized that the wine they smelled was not the wine that the Han army had drunk to celebrate their victory, but that the lower half of the tent had been soaked with wine and had become extremely flammable.
Turkic soldiers liked to wear fur clothes, and the fur was facing outward, so that it caught fire.
And in order to sneak attack them, they did not ride horses, the Han army rode on horses, condescending, the Turkic soldiers had just run out of the tent, and before they had time to extinguish the fire on their bodies, the Han army's arrow rain arrived.
Someone shouted, "Look! It seems to be Xu Jingfeng standing over there! Kill the dog thief! There is a big reward! ”
Xu Jingfeng didn't expect that he would fall into Zhong Ye's ambush, he thought that using the 20,000 Turkic soldiers during the day as bait was enough to make Zhong Ye let down his guard, and the Black Mountain Cliff was also his long-planned plan.
Since Zhong Ye set up camp here, he has already had a plan, the so-called dangerous moves, Zhong Ye's garrison here is just to have the Black Mountain Cliff as a natural danger, so he can defend it with one less side.
So he planned to break through from here and attack it unprepared.
In the process of escaping, Xu Jingfeng still couldn't figure out how Zhong Ye was able to accurately uncover his plan, could it be that he had a spy by his side?
Moreover, the people in Liangzhou City did not know what kind of plan Zhong Ye used to win, only that by dawn, the news of the Han army's victory had spread throughout the city.
However, in one day and one night, the Han army killed 60,000 Turkic soldiers, which can be said to have almost killed the Turkic soldiers under Xu Jingfeng.
It was the greatest victory in the history of the Han army and the Turkic war.
The morale of the Han army was high, and the people in the city beat gongs and drums. The good news was uploaded, and the states along the way were all excited to learn the news.
Even the people of Liangzhou wrote Zhong Ye's name on the red card and worshipped it, kneeling in the morning and evening.
Wei Yining personally cooked, made a few dishes that Zhong Ye loved to eat on weekdays, and personally held a pot to pour wine for Zhong Ye.
Zhong Ye pulled her to sit down with a smile, took the wine jug and poured Wei Yining a glass of wine.
"Grandpa tastes these dishes to see if they are appetizing," Wei Yining pursed his lips and smiled: "I haven't cooked for a long time." ”
"Madame's cooking is delicious," Zhong Ye said seriously, "But the smoke is too choking, so you should cook less in the future." ”
"I don't cook a lot, and I'm not good at washing my hands and making soup." Wei Yining smiled and said, "But I'm really happy today, so I'm ugly." Although this battle could not completely destroy the Turkic ambitions, it was also able to guarantee peace in recent months. The people can finally breathe a sigh of relief and have a good spring ploughing. ”
"Yes, although Xu Jingfeng ran away, it is impossible for him to make a comeback in a short period of time. As for whether the Turkic Khan still needs him, it depends on his luck. Zhong Ye took a sip of wine and said, "And the people who watched before will also be much more relieved, and they will come to Liangzhou to open up the wasteland." ”
"That's right, let's go to the wasteland together tomorrow." Wei Yining smiled: "I have already said it, I have already asked someone to prepare the food clock." ”
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Zhong Ye agreed, "What kind of vegetables do you want to grow?" ”
"Of course, it's suitable for growing here, but it's just cabbage, radishes, etc., and sweet potatoes should also be fine." Wei Yining replied: "I still want to grow some more camellia, although there are wild ones." ”
"You're craving for capsule, right?" Zhong Ye smiled and asked, "I'll dig some for you outside the city in a few days." ”
Wei Yining nodded, and the two of them began to eat, and halfway through the meal, they talked about dealing with the Turks again.
"Grandpa, I've been thinking about one thing," Wei Yining just raised his chopsticks and put them down: "The main reason why the Turkic soldiers are difficult to deal with is that they are excellent at riding, if we can think of a way to force them off the horse, will we have a better chance of winning?" ”
"Needless to say, if the Turks don't have horses, it means that Sun Xingzhi won't be able to drive somersault clouds." Zhong Ye was very curious and asked Wei Yining, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I don't know if this method will work, because it won't work in the short term." Wei Yining said: "I want to grow more elm trees around Liangzhou City, this kind of tree is easy to survive and grows quickly, compared with poplar and willow trees, it is more low, and the branches are horizontally oblique, which can play a better role in hindering." Horseback riders can easily pass through poplar groves and willow groves, but elm groves are difficult to navigate. ”
"Of course this method is feasible, and the battle with the Turks could not have ended anytime soon, and we were prepared for a long and fierce war from the beginning." Zhong Ye said: "It seems that this spring in addition to planting trees." ”
"Actually, there is another benefit to planting elms." Wei Yining said with a smile: "In the spring, there is elm money, and in case of a famine, it is something that can save people's lives, which can be regarded as a multi-task." ”
Zhong Ye put down his chopsticks when he heard this, hugged Wei Yining, and said, "My good Yining, you are really smart and have a bodhisattva heart. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Even after a hundred years, the people of Liangzhou will be grateful for your kindness. ”
"How can I be as good as my grandfather said," Wei Yining couldn't help blushing: "It's just to do your part." ”
"Speaking of which, I also have something I want you to help with," Zhong Ye said, "Last year, because of the cold weather, there was no way to build more fortifications. Now that the war with the Xiongnu is imminent, it is time to start building fortifications. I plan to build a letter tower every fifteen miles, and it will be built on a high place, so that the two adjacent places can look out to each other. It is used to deliver messages, because it is not safe and time-consuming for people to pass messages back and forth in the event of a war. As long as the letter tower is built high enough, and a small number of soldiers are arranged on each building, it is enough. ”
"Grandpa is right, this letter building should be built high enough, open up on all sides at the top, but the opening should not be too big, so that it is difficult for people outside to enter and climb, so as to ensure the safety of the people upstairs and can transmit news at any time." Wei Yining nodded and said.
"It's just that the news is usually transmitted through drumming, and the orders in the army are all unified, and even if there are changes, the pattern can be gradually figured out. People like Xu Jingfeng will surely understand it quickly. If the two sides fight, the news from this side will be transmitted, and the Turks will also hear it, and they will soon be able to decipher it, what should I do? Zhong Ye asked with some embarrassment.
Wei Yining lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said: "This is also easy to do, when it is sunny, you can use flags of various colors instead, but each message must be matched with flags of at least five colors, the order of each other is inconsistent, and the information conveyed is not the same." Our people should memorize in advance, the five kinds of chess pieces have countless meanings, and it is difficult for the Turks to understand it. At night, you can use the light of the fire to wave it in different ways to convey different meanings. ”
