Chapter 194: Blue Blood, Yellow Sand
Good! Liang Jianfang slammed his fist on the desk, the objects on it jumped up, a bowl full of tea overturned, and all the papers in the case were soaked. didn't care about letting the water wet his clothes with the case, and laughed: "Broken Ridge is a great victory!" Come on, Zuo Wuwei's whole army will report down, celebrate together! Killing the enemy depends on Lu Gong's means. In January, Su Dingfang's half-dead military newspaper was humiliated, and today it can finally make people breathe a sigh of relief and see the sun! Saying this, he took a big step and shouted everyone out of the hall with open arms, laughing heartily, "Guys, the whole army will add a meal, no wine, full of mash, all go, all eat!" ”
Old Man Cheng's methods have to be admired, and in just two months, he completed a series of actions from marching to forcing the main Turkic forces to fight a decisive battle with them. Most of the military reports are concise and to the point, but the huge number of beheadings reported back is a night sweat, all of them are attacking the city and pulling out the village, and more than 70,000 beheadings are beheaded all the way, and the battle of breaking the age is to kill 90,000 enemies, and the enemy army is completely annihilated from top to bottom. Horses and weapons were captured, but no prisoners were mentioned, as if the Turks were all tough guys who would rather be ghosts under the knife and steal their lives.
"Lu Gong is really a good method." After eating and drinking, everyone climbed onto the sand table and began to review the Battle of Broken Ridge, and the more they deduced, the more they admired and praised from the bottom of their hearts. People really have two sides, the old man Cheng has an old goblin face in the capital, but as soon as he comes out of the plug, he immediately becomes a hot-blooded old tough guy in front of the two armies, this is the style, a person's character can only be seen before the military array, and there can be no falsehood in the dialogue between life and death.
Due to the urgency of time, after cleaning up the Turks, there are still Tuyuhun waiting for reinforcements, and there is no time to delay, the army invades all the way like the wind, and everywhere it goes, according to the figures in the military newspaper, it is estimated that there will be no grass. The Turks were under the pressure of the old man's tyranny. Finally, he couldn't take advantage of the anger and gathered more than 90,000 young people from more than ten tribes to fight the Tang army to the death with their backs against the only gap in the vast desert. Once they choose a decisive battle, they will give up their only advantage, which is exactly what the old man wants.
As soon as the battle opens, it is a dead end, leaving no back for himself and the other party, and working hard against each other, 100,000 to 90,000. The generals who dare to make up their minds to open the formation and cut down against each other will be the only one in the whole dynasty. You can imagine what kind of scene it is, nearly 200,000 men gathered on a front that stretched for 300 miles, bathed in bloody sand, and the wilderness was bloody.
The Turks never expected that the only fortress at the gap, where they thought they could hold their way to survive with their backs to the gap, and that they could leave a glimmer of life even if the war was unfavorable, was raided by the Tang army's light cavalry at night. In fact, the Tang Army's other sniper unit had already been equipped and marched up the river half a month ago, killing people and slaughtering the city. Leaving no living mouth all the way, quietly crossing the rushing river and going straight to the fortress. The Turks who held the fortress would never have thought that there would be an elite Tang army behind them, and the whole raid process was a classic, and it also completed the encirclement of the main Turkic force. The doomsday trial has begun, and Mr. Cheng, the judge, will always only sentence others to death.
Outside the fortress, 3,000 Mo swordsmen and 6,000 Jinnu soldiers cooperated with 5,000 light cavalry. The nails were pierced into the gap, like a meat grinder behind the enemy's back, and the 90,000 Turkic soldiers were forced to the south of the Broken Ridge, and the 90,000 troops who had no way to retreat were stewed away by the main force of the Tang Army.
Unlike the Turks and other ethnic groups in the Western Regions, the Tang army was slightly short of horses, and in order to make up for the lack of cavalry combat power, the Mo knife hand became a sharp weapon for the cavalry army. I once secretly tried to lift the Mo knife on the truss when there was no one around, but failed. A big guy about three meters long. Even if you pick it up, you can't wield it, unlike the Pu knife and the saber, one-third of the stainless steel head of the Mo knife is cold, and the back two-thirds of the long handle can only be hoeed to the ground to hold on, and then borrowed the waist to wield. If a single Mo knife hand stands in front of him, it is a live target. You can clean up as much as you like. With a swing of the knife, the center of the light is offset, and the body cannot be corrected for a long time. You have the kung fu of chopping him five or six knives, but the three thousand Mo knife formations are put out, the momentum is completely different, all by the column composed of biao-shaped big men, one thousand in the front, one thousand in the back, staggered, neatly forward, if the front team retreats, the rear team will be chopped, so, the whole army is like a wall, when the one is broken, the enemy is broken tens of thousands like grinding powder, unstoppable.
After eating, Liang Jianfang dragged me to Li Ji's house to report the victory, and the old man Li was overjoyed when he heard it, and pulled the two of us in front of the sand table to deduce, "Once put the three thousand Mo knife hands on the array, only Lao Cheng dared to make this capital for this killing." Then he sighed, "The Turks are finished, after this battle, the Turks are no longer able to hold on to our dynasty, and Lao Cheng is a flat river in front of him." When people are old, I thought that I would no longer have the heart to win, but this time I was really jealous of Cheng Lao from the bottom of my heart, hehe, haha......"
"That's what the old tricks are." Liang Jianfang laughed unnaturally, and suddenly remembered that I was there, and immediately pursed his lips disdainfully, and said to Li Ji: "You didn't know how to talk like this back then, and you haven't been on the battlefield for a few days, why did you change your temperament?" The words of neither men nor women are disgusting to hear. ”
"Hehe, you dare to talk to the old man like this, what else is impossible?" Li Ji smiled and glanced at Liang Jianfang contemptuously, "When the old man pointed at Lao Cheng's nose, how long would it be your turn to speak?" What a big official authority! ”
"......" Liang Jianfang held his breath and didn't dare to collide, he glared at me with a red face, and there was a tendency to fly legs, which scared me to quickly pretend to look at the formation and turn around. Your family is dedicated to showing your face in the army this time, leading two thousand light horsemen into the enemy's ranks, cutting two Turkic generals, beheading eleven people, which can be described as a general! ”
"What? There is such a kid in the military newspaper as dedicated? Li Ji frowned, with an angry face, "Speaking of going to the army to practice medicine, why did you run to lead the troops to charge the battle?" ”
"What a good boy, you take care of this and that. Let him go through a few years, and I'm afraid that the future achievements will not be under you. "Liang Jianfang and Li Ji don't deal with each other, but they have always admired Li Jingye and are very dissatisfied with Old Man Li's discipline." What a grandson, how do I think it's good, you just say that human face is a scourge, I think you didn't have a good face back then. ”
Li Jichang sighed, ignored Liang Jianfang's sneer, turned his head to me and said: "Okay, the scourge is only my family, this time he has made meritorious service in front of him, the court will definitely be promoted, and the old man will not slack off." Let him go. Zihao, listen to the old man's words, don't be contaminated with Li Jingye, remember, don't do it! ”
It's not easy to say this, the first time I saw my grandfather say this about his grandson, I was rude to agree, and it was rude not to agree. It's hard to speak. Liang Jianfang watched coldly from the sidelines, with a look of disdain.
I have never believed in these superstitious things, but Old Man Li's solemn tone penetrated into my heart, and I couldn't help but believe it. is a famous general through the ages, and he can evaluate his grandson in front of an outsider like this, and he will never talk nonsense with empty teeth, but he doesn't know what the two grandchildren have to do. The words are so heartless.
"Hehe," Li Ji saw that he was cold, waved his hand, and smiled casually, "Okay." Don't talk about that. The old man is idle at home, with nothing to do, and it is rare for someone to make a special trip to show off, so he can't make others uncomfortable because of this. Liang Lao is not dead. Don't report the good news or the bad news, what's going on over there in Tuyuhun? The situation in Dingfang is not as good as Lao Cheng, and the strategy is like a strong wind to get a 'fast' word, and the defense is like a rock, and it has a 'stable' word. Since the founding of our dynasty, there have been many attacks and few defenses, and the soldiers of the three armies are only lacking stability, and it is not easy to defend! It will take another month and a half to wait for Lao Cheng's return. The Tubo thieves know from the bottom of their hearts that they will concentrate their forces in the near future to storm the Tuyuhun Su Dingfang Division, once they succeed, only the Tuyuhun guerrillas will be the Tubo iron cavalry, and they will be vulnerable. ”
As soon as the words fell, Liang Jianfang pulled down his old face and said unhappily: "It is indeed difficult on the Tuyuhun side, and now the whole army has retreated to Xianchuan." Relying on the deep water of the river to confront Tibet. But the Tuyuhun has no rain for two months. The river is now drying up, and there have been frequent raids by Tibetan cavalry bypassing the upper shoals in recent battle reports. It is to buy time for its main force to cross the river, once the Tubo people are assembled in the upper reaches, the first target is the Xianchuan defenders of our dynasty. ”
"Xianchuan, hum," Li Ji leaned down on the sand table for a long time, "With Su Dingfang's temper, he will never let the Tubo people assemble smoothly, and the outnumbered enemy is not happy in our dynasty for a long time, there is a river barrier in front, and there is an advantage in Xianchuan in the back, and the defenders in the upper reaches of Tuyuhun can't easily let the Tubo people come over even if they grow up eating dry rice, not to mention that Su Dingfang is a local person brought out by the old man." ”
Sure enough, he is a veteran, and he will use it better than others when he says it, anyway, I am full of confidence after listening to it, and my nerves have relaxed a little for many days, and I only pray for the blessing of God and Buddha, and I will let Su Dingfang firmly hold Xianchuan, I still hope to fish with him in the future, how can I say that Su Dingfang is also half of my student, isn't it?
"You are amazing, who dares to compare with you!" Liang Jianfang gave a sentence sourly. This old guy is very conflicted in his heart, keep it well, wait for the old man Cheng to come back to help, once the front and back attack is formed, it can be described as a meritorious achievement, but it is a pity that it is his old opponent who has made meritorious contributions, and it is difficult to accept it in his heart. But if you can't keep it, it's over, once Tuyuhun loses, it is difficult to shirk the responsibility on him, if he even sits on the charge of bewitching the army's heart, then his situation will be difficult, anyway, there is a punishment.
It's not easy for anyone to live, the three people present have their own difficulties, Liang Jianfang and I are still sorry to be worried, and it is incomprehensible for Old Man Li to show his face because of his grandson. I haven't accumulated any good feelings for Li Jingye, although he is surprisingly respectful and polite when he sees me, but I always feel that this person can't have deep friendships, in comparison, I prefer Dugu Fu's pervert.
"You just know this, as for whether people are a scourge or not, you don't need to go outside to show off." After listening to my account of the Li family's grandson, Lan Ling admonished: "Although you don't believe in physiognomy, Li Ji's words are still really good, Ying Gong was able to resolutely abandon his family in order to save Shan Xiongxin's life, but he was able to burn his grandson to death with a ruthless hand, there must be a reason for him." ”
"Burned?" Lanling's words made me chill, and I didn't know how to understand it.
"Well, it's just to be burned alive, and there is no other meaning." Seeing that I was confused, Lan Ling explained: "There are not a few people who know about this, it is just not passed on from one to another, and it is you and I who will talk about it." The British public likes to hunt, six years ago, when he went out hunting, he assigned Li Jingye to enter the field to catch the prey, and then let his subordinates light the fire with the wind. Since grandpa can do this, it doesn't matter if Li Jingye doesn't hand it over. ”
"Huh?" Oh my God, what a grandpa this is! Li Ji's great image in my mind collapsed, and it is said that the relationship between the next generation and grandchildren is better than that of father and son, how can this old guy be so ruthless, just because of people's so-called bad face? It's a shame that when he was injured, Li Jingye waited by his side for a few days and nights, why didn't he have any popularity. "It seems that this Li Jingye has a great life, and he can survive the fire attack of the famous generals through the ages, and there is really a way."
"Yes, in the col, there is fire ahead. There was no way back, so he found a gentle slope and killed the horse, cut the horse's belly and hid it low, and let him dodge. It is because of this incident that Ying Gong can be regarded as stopping, the destiny of heaven cannot be done, let it be. Lan Ling pondered for a moment, "There are not many people who can skip their lives from under Li Ji's hands. It is becoming more and more obvious that this Li Jingye is an outlier, you are a sick man, don't mix with others. Live two more years seriously, I'm older than you, and I hope to die before you. ”
"Well, don't worry, I won't mess with the guy who is harder than my life, and it won't be worth it for the two of them to stand together and thunder and split." made up his mind, and it will not only be Li Jingye in the future. It's that Old Man Li can avoid it as much as possible if he can't see it, I don't want him to suddenly say how my face is that day, superstition kills people, why just have a fight with X-gong. "What about Dugufu? What do you think of this man? ”
"Hehe," Lan Ling smiled at me. "Why have you been suspicious lately, haven't you always thought of yourself as a long-term vision? It took a few days to get to the army, and it became like this. He glanced at me lightly, "You can see for yourself how to make friends, I don't want to be an outsider and say bad things about my nephew." But. When the two of you are together, it can be regarded as a good match, quite alike. ”
"Roger!" It's not that I can't believe myself, but recently everything has been gathered in a mess, and I feel like I'm powerless for the first time in three years. If I am alone, it will be easy to do, the key is that there are Ying and the second daughter behind me, and I am afraid that they will be affected if there is a slight mistake, as for the Wang family. I don't take it to heart. Lan Ling said this clearly, Dugu Fu's kid is not a good thing, but this is better, and when I am with him in the future, I will be more like-minded. "It's hard to do, it's been a bit hectic lately. However, don't think that I can't handle it and want to rely on you, hehe, you haven't seen my real means yet. ”
"That's all." Lanling stinked at me. sneered: "I've seen what I should see, and I don't want to see the means of coming down." It's up to you. You've done your best to get this far. Now if you want to be left and right in the officialdom, you don't have that ability, learn more, watch more and talk less, if you can't live long enough. The reason why I don't worry about you is that you don't have such great ambitions, big things can't be accomplished, small things are not ambiguous, and that's all, such a person is limited even if he suffers, and it's a pity that people push you on the big sins. He laughed, "Actually, I'm at ease, it's good like that." ”
"Look down on people, don't you?" was dissatisfied on the lips, but in his heart he still recognized Lanling's words. I know what weight I am, I know in my heart, the people in the bank, the level of the office, earn a quota, get more bonuses, and get someone to climb up at once, if it goes well, I will be satisfied with the retirement of the department-level treatment, and the people who are fighting professionally are not a grade at all. "Forget it, see that you are a woman, if you don't reason with you, I will mix up with an official to let you see, see that the emperor does not kneel!"
"Commander? Good, good! It's not common to see two-faced and three-stabbed commanders these days, and I really want to see them. Lan Ling sat in front of him with a smile, "When you are busy with things in the army, there will be no time, and you should be ready to harvest cotton in another month, why don't you think about getting out?" ”
"There's no way, I'm worried about it these days, I definitely can't get out of it this month, and the winner will be decided in dozens of days." Whether Tuyuhun can be kept depends on whether Su Dingfang can hold Xianchuan in this month and a half, according to today's deduction, Tubo can only go down to Xianchuan first, if he detours south, he will undoubtedly expose his back in front of the Tang army, which is a taboo for soldiers. Tubo is now also in a dilemma, it is difficult to fight Xianchuan, the combat effectiveness of nearly 30,000 Tang troops is not trivial, and Tuyuhun knows the importance of Xianchuan, and he will definitely play with his life, even if he succeeds, it is a miserable victory, and whether he can fight again is still a matter of two things.
"Don't worry," Lan Ling shook his head, "Now that most of the Turks have been resolved, the remaining guerrillas are vulnerable in front of Uncle Cheng, and the bottom line has been preserved for the imperial court." At the beginning of this month, the Ministry of Industry has already pulled the blasting rod you got up for testing, and I don't know if it can be used, but the two cavalry teams on Anxi that prepared for the Turks also entered Tuyuhun, and the number is not large, but the combat power is not comparable to the Tuyuhun soldiers. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll call Grandpa Cheng, you call his uncle to my face," I don't know about the Anxi cavalry going in, and the blaster grenade machine gun has nothing to do with me, but the problem in this generation is important, and it has been several times, and if you don't make it clear, you can't mix it up. "If you don't take advantage of me in front of you, you won't change your name? Even if you don't call Lu Gong, you will always say it, right? ”
"Hehe," Lan Ling leaned against a strong melon on my shoulder and smiled, "I did it on purpose, when you were unconscious." ”
"If you don't take it as an example, if you do it again, blame me for being ruthless."
"Oh? How ruthless? ”
"Hmph, Dugu Fu, next time I pulled this kid and forced him to call him my uncle! Scared, right? ”
"Then you be careful, the knife technique handed down by the Dugu family is fast."
"yes......"
