Chapter 670: Sycophants have their own merits
"Murong Daxi wants to fight me in a decisive battle?" Easily threw the war letter on the table, and looked at the Tuyuhun messenger with an unruly face, and the heart of this son blossomed.
"Yes, our servant shoots hope that your majesty will be able to appear on the battlefield and enjoy the performance of our brave Tuyuhun warriors." The messenger didn't know if he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he looked arrogant.
"Well, since Murong Daxi has this idea, if I don't satisfy him, won't I let the people of the world look down on my Huaxia Revival Army?" I touched my chin. "I agreed, two days later, I will personally lead the army to wait twenty miles west of my camp, and when the time comes, don't let me down."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty of Huaxia, our heroic Tuyuhun warriors, have decided not to give up an opportunity to show off their martial arts." The departing general Tuyuhun threw down such a bravaful sentence before he finished.
"These idiots!" Luo Shixin looked at the guy's back with a look of disdain and contempt. And the civil and military forces in the big tent were all uncontrollable excitement.
"It seems that Murong Daxi is quite confident in his army." Bae In-ki said with a smile.
"No matter how confident you are? This time, I want to let the Tuyuhun people know what the real elite is. I chuckled and looked at the full-body plate armor hanging from the wooden frame behind me. General Luo, I have an important task for you. ”
"The minister is here!" Luo Shixin excitedly stepped into the tent and replied loudly with his head held high.
"The 1st and 2nd Heavy Cavalry Regiments of the Praetorian Cavalry Division will be handed over to you for command, and in addition, General Pei ......, "I sat in the big tent and began to assign tasks, and the 40,000-strong army has begun to prepare and wait for the coming of the big battle."
"Your Majesty, the information from the sailor. Hou Junji had already led a partial division, attacked and captured Shudun City at night, and also captured more than 3,000 Tuyuhun prisoners of war. An intelligence officer burst in and shouted loudly.
"How much is the loss?" Hearing this news, I couldn't help frowning, for such a result, it was indeed a little unexpected, originally I thought that Hou Junji was in charge of the army at the beginning, and it would be good to be able to capture Shudun City, but I didn't expect to capture so many Tuyuhun soldiers and horses.
"Three hundred and fifty-nine soldiers were killed and nearly 1,000 were wounded." The intelligence officer replied immediately, handing the information to me by the way, and then stepped aside.
Yes, quite well, on the first night of Hou Junji, he sneaked over with the first batch of foot soldiers, and then found out that the Tuyuhun people had left less than a thousand people outside the city to take care of the horses and livestock, while the rest of them went into the city to live.
At this time, it was the rainy season in the middle of summer, and compared to tents, the Han people's houses could not only shelter from the rain, but also protect from the dry. Therefore, the vast majority of this defender squatted in Shudun City to eat, drink and have fun.
In addition, the defense was also extremely loose, and all night, only two teams of 100 horsemen of Tuyuhun cavalry were seen walking along the base of the city wall. And there were not many people on the city wall, but near the four gates of Shudun City, there were about 100 Tuyuhun soldiers left to guard.
Hou Junji naturally knew that his opportunity had come, but this guy's heart was really not small, and he didn't just want to seize Shudun City, but also wanted to eat the five thousand Tuguhun soldiers and horses.
The plan to seize Shudun City was soon determined, first of all, this guy arranged for 3,000 people, yes, a full 3,000 people to deal with the 1,000 unlucky ghosts outside the city, and be sure to seize Tuyuhun's livestock and horses.
Although the Chinese Revival Army came to be foot soldiers, more than 80 percent of these foot soldiers could ride horses, and at least 2,000 people who were proficient in horsemanship, but the number of war horses in the Chinese Empire was not much, so many cavalry who were eliminated by the elite cavalry units did not want to go home to be farmers, so they became foot soldiers.
You must know that the cavalry of the Revival Army of the Chinese Empire is definitely the elite of the elite selected from the infantry, even if these lords are selected and eliminated from the cavalry troops, their riding skills will definitely not be much inferior.
Therefore, this guy decided to take the nearly 3,000 war horses into his hands as well. And the four gates were each assigned 500 men. In the second half of the second night, after the second batch of foot soldiers arrived, Hou Junji didn't even give him time to rest, so he let the 2,500 foot soldiers immediately devote themselves to the preparatory work.
Then, two thousand foot soldiers climbed the wall from the middle of the city wall in the darkness of the night, and then five hundred men from each place would divide their troops and rush towards the city gate. And when the grenade exploded in the battle to seize the gate, the 2,000 people who had already been ambushed in the Tuyuhun camp outside the city launched a surprise attack.
The other 1,000 men were responsible for controlling the stables and barns. The 1,000 Tuyuhun soldiers and horses outside the city were not at all the opponents of these two thousand elites, and only one charged, leaving behind more than 300 corpses and more than 500 prisoners of war.
And the movement outside the city and the movement on the city wall alarmed the Tuyuhun people outside Shudun City, however, they had never seen gunpowder weapons, and when they faced the grenades thrown from the four gates of Shudun City, they completely collapsed, and they couldn't imagine that the Chinese Empire Revival Army could actually master the heavenly thunder, well, these stupid birds didn't understand what gunpowder was at all, let alone know the power of gunpowder weapons.
Therefore, these guys are completely frightened and even think that the heavens are punishing them, and it can be directly said that these 4,000 Tuyuhun soldiers trapped in the city are completely frightened, although they also have the intention of recapturing the four gates without fear of death, but they will soon be defeated and retreat, or they will die directly under the power of gunpowder weapons that are as terrible as thunder and as powerful as several trebuchets.
Early the next morning, Hou Junji, who had already settled the battle outside the city, ordered to let go of the west gate, and then the soldiers of the other three gates began to pretend to attack. Sure enough, all these Tuyuhun people who had been frightened all night were driven out of the city, but outside the city, the 3,000 elite Chinese revival army had already raised their bows, crossbows, spears and spears, and surrounded the thousands of defeated soldiers who had just broken out of the city.
In the end, these 5,000 Tuyuhun people either died under the sword of the Chinese Renaissance Army, or they could only lay down their arms and surrender in despair. It was neat and tidy, and it only took one night to take Shudun City and wrap the five thousand Tuyuhun defenders into dumplings.
Pei Renji, a veteran general in the army, also commented on Hou Junji, he was bold enough, but he was able to see the situation accurately, a typical bold and careful type, thinking that I, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, really had superhuman vision and level. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hou Junji to become a commander of a partial division from a small regiment-level captain.
Of course, many civil and military ministers who came with the army are also at this moment with lotus flowers, and the sycophants are constant, compared to the generals, the sycophants of the civil servants are more obscure, but they can be evocative and long, although they are not as direct as the generals, but they also have a different flavor.
However, for the Wenchen who is always a crooked Confucius and Mencius when he pats the sycophants, this son secretly remembers them one by one, and when he returns to Chang'an, I will check the twists and turns of these guys to see if they dare to use classical Chinese to fool me, the knowledgeable and cultured emperor.
A sycophant who doesn't cost money, regardless of the cost, makes this son happy to bloom, well, it shows that our vision is still very accurate, although I know that he Hou Junji is a famous general in another historical time and space, but in this time and space, there has been a certain degree of mutation because of my arrival.
In addition, this son has spent almost two years sharpening him, so if you think about it, it will naturally not be worse than Hou Junji in another historical time and space.
"Well, Hou Junji is quite meritorious in this battle, by the way, someone will immediately send a message to Hou Junji, I will fight with the Tuyuhun army in the afternoon two days later, and when the time comes, Tuyuhun will definitely retreat to Shudun City after the defeat, I hope he will lead the army to block the strong attack of the Tuyuhun army, and be sure not to let the Tuyuhun army escape." When the minds of the people were calm, I addressed the messenger.
"No!" The messenger rushed out quickly, and many civilians and soldiers in the hall had a relaxed look, Luo Shixin and the opponent's cavalry, as well as Hou Junji's air raid, these two battles have proved the difference between our side and Tuyuhun. Now it seems that the final outcome of this battle is self-evident.
Luo Shixin grinded his fists on the side and said: "It seems that there shouldn't be any big problems, two days later, in the battlefield, let's have a good look at those Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, how many catties and taels there are." ”
Zhu Wenwu returned to their respective camps, what should they do, and I stayed in the tent, looking at the handwritten letter sent by Yaoguang's sister, her handwriting was not the kind of delicate female Xiaokai, but like a man, there was a sharpness and strength between the strokes.
She had already led her army to Xiping County in the north and was waiting for Murong Fuyun's arrival, but Murong Fuyun did not rush directly to Xiping County recklessly, but stopped at the border of Xiping County. Then he put on a posture of being ready to fight, neither attacking nor retreating.
And Sister Yaoguang told me that her intuition was that Murong Fuyun must have some kind of conspiracy. Therefore, she did not directly attack the army, but also stopped very tacitly, and then sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter around Xiping County.
I put down the letter, a little worried, but not too concerned. I trust Yaoguang's military strategy and vision. And Yaoguang's intuition is definitely very effective, many times, she has relied on her intuition, detected the crisis, and finally made a decision to turn the crisis into safety.
It can be said that Li Jing, Qu Tutong, and Wei Yunqi, these veteran generals in the army, belong to the type of planning and then acting. And the Yaoguang girl belongs to the type of decision that is made on the fly and sees the move. This is also the reason why Qu Tutong has always been able to win for a long time, but when he met my mother-in-law, he was bloody.
In addition, my mother-in-law has more soldiers and horses than we have, so I really don't worry about what happens, the only thing I need to worry about is that I am afraid that my mother-in-law will want to take Murong Fuyun's head single-handedly.
