Chapter Twenty-Nine: Encirclement and Reinforcement
The news that the black devil army attacked the Chengzhou City of Tuyuhun and washed the entire city in blood reported to the ears of Fu Yun, the king of Tuyuhun, like wings.
"Tell the king that Chengzhou was attacked by an army wearing black armor, the defenders of Chengzhou and the young and strong were all killed, and the tribes near Chengzhou have migrated to Minzhou, and Wuzhou sent people to ask for help."
"What? Black armor? Could it be Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army? How many of them are there? ”
"According to the survivors' description, it doesn't look like the Xuanjia Army, the number is about tens of thousands."
Fu Yun thought about it, it is indeed not like Li Shimin's Xuanjia army, because the number is not right, because the Xuanjia army is cavalry, if it is tens of thousands of cavalry out of the customs, they will definitely not be able to escape the discovery of scouts, where is this army sacred? I haven't heard of an army in black armor.
"Order General Murong to lead an army of 30,000 to reinforce Wuzhou and be sure to destroy this black armor army."
"Yes!"
At the same time, in Chang'an City, a rider with a three-pole flag behind his back galloped on Chang'an Avenue and shouted.
"Six hundred miles expedited~"
When the people in the lively streets heard this, they split their way like Moses had crossed the Red Sea, and the riders galloped towards the palace.
"Sage, six hundred miles in an emergency."
"Pass it on."
Li Er, who was meeting with the hundred officials in the Taiji Palace, took the six-hundred-mile urgent report handed over by the eunuch, quickly read the content above, stood up suddenly, and then roared.
"Who? Who led the army to attack Chengzhou in Tuyuhun without permission? ”
Civil and military officials, look at me, I look at you, okay, who is so bold to attack Tuyuhun without a military talisman, or in this special period, but in retrospect, no, there is no news that there is an army out of the border gate, what is going on? Li Er also came back to his senses, and it was written on the fold that tens of thousands of troops in black armor were written, and his twelve guards did not have such troops, and they razed Chengzhou to the ground overnight and slaughtered it all, which was lost to his own Xuanjia army, but his own Xuanjia army was not dispatched at all.
"Enlightened saint, how it is written in the compromise, can you pass it on to me and see."
Li Er handed the fold to the eunuchs beside him, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling were all full of question marks after reading it, thinking that there is such an army in our Datang? The song quickly circulated the entire civil and military officials, and all the civil officials thought it was incredible, and the military attache was much simpler, and they all praised this black armor army in their hearts.
"Fang Aiqing, you work with the military department to find out which army it is, and find out whose army it is."
"Yes."
When Fang Xuanling led the investigation, Li Yong and his black army had attacked Wuzhou several times at night, making the people in the entire Wuzhou City panic, and they didn't even dare to sleep at night, Li Yong did not order a real attack on Wuzhou City, but just disturbed the hearts of the people in the city, his purpose was to reinforce the 30,000 troops, the ghost had detected the 30,000 reinforcements as early as two days ago, Li Yong just came to a siege point to send reinforcements, and wiped out the 30,000 reinforcements, and the 3,000 black army was ready to wait for the opportunity.
"30,000 reinforcements are already five kilometers northwest of us."
"The whole army is hidden, waiting for orders, and the ghost attacks and kills all the scouts after nightfall."
"Yes!"
The three thousand black army cleaned up the traces and the whole army disappeared into the valley, looking at the clouds that seemed to have been burned by fire, Li Yong thought thoughtfully, and muttered on his lips, it may rain tonight.
"Rest well."
Li Yong walked all the way in front of the soldiers, saying the same sentence all the way, Li Yong sat in front of a relatively flat stone wall, rested with his eyes closed, and fell asleep unconsciously, not knowing that he was awakened by a thunderclap when he fell asleep.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time."
"Ordered the whole army to set off in secret."
"Yes!"
After the three thousand black army got the military order, they quickly assembled and prepared to set off to Murong's 30,000 reinforcement camp, not long after departure, the first spring rain of the year fell in Chengzhou, which was the beautiful season for all things to wake up, but because Li Yong's black army brought the nightmare of the Tuyuhun people, the army marched to a hundred meters away from the opponent's camp under the cover of heavy rain and night, because of the rain, the torches of the camp could not shine farther, and all the scouts outside the camp were quietly wiped out by ghosts, The army of 30,000 did not know at this moment that there was already a black demon standing outside their camp who wanted to take their demons, the black mask only revealed two pairs of cold and ruthless eyes, white mist floated out of the mask, the entire black army was like a devil from hell, a white lightning bolt pierced the black night, illuminating the entire camp, with the muffled spring thunder accompanied by the sentinel's frightened alarm shout.
"Enemy attack, ah~"
The sharp arrow passed through his throat so that he only left the last sentence in this life, the leading black armor pulled out the black steel knife and pointed at the camp, all the black sergeants behind pulled out the steel knife one after another, and rushed to the camp where the soldiers were constantly rushing out in the heavy rain, those soldiers who rushed out were frightened by the scene in front of them, none of the troops in black armor made a sound, and rushed in with a black steel knife in his hand, and then the knife fell and hacked his comrades to death one by one, and the military camp that was attacked by the night exploded instantly, General Murong kept scolding the chaotic army with a knife, and also cut down a few soldiers who did not obey orders, but he couldn't control the army that had already bombed the camp, and the heavy rain seriously affected his vision, General Murong shouted afterwards.
"Withdraw~withdraw~"
Those soldiers who heard the order to retreat hurriedly turned around and fled, but in the camp behind them, the killing continued, one after another fresh lives were ruthlessly harvested by Li Yong's black army, the black army simply took it away with a knife in his hand, without a little mud and water, and directly took out the repeating crossbow to snipe remotely, and the ghost beheaded the generals who were commanding, and the screams of the entire camp became smaller and smaller, until silence, and all the soldiers who were killed were staring at the frightened eyes, It's as if I've seen something terrifying.
"Ghost, follow the rest of the people, order the logistics support troops to collect war horses and supplies, be sure to leave before dawn, burn all that can't be taken away, and the combat troops continue to advance, and be sure to catch up with the remnants of the enemy and annihilate them all."
So the black army steel knife into the sheath, under the leadership of the ghost, found General Murong in the woods five kilometers away, he was gathering the rout, after counting the number of people, he was frustrated, just a wave of attack, let him lose most of the half, although it was a sneak attack, but such a terrifying offensive ability, there was no second such army in the whole world, especially those black-armored soldiers, invulnerable, the bow and arrow hit their armor nothing, and the knife cut on it did not even leave a white mark, On the contrary, their black steel knives could hack his soldiers to death with a single slash, and it was fatal. Looking at the soldiers who had just escaped for their lives, they all trembled with horror, and their mouths were muttering, they were devils, they were not people.
"Alas, the morale of the army is lost, what kind of army is this? Could it really be the demon sent by Hell to punish us Tuyuhun? ”
"You're right, you Tuyuhun violated morality and lost your conscience, so the envoy of hell sent me to take you to hell and kill you."
Before General Murong could ask anyone, countless black troops rushed out of the jungle, and the killing continued, and those soldiers who had already been frightened knelt on the ground and folded their hands and begged for mercy.
"Please let me go."
The soldiers' begging for mercy was only exchanged for indifferent eyes and cold blades, and none of the black-armored soldiers made a sound, but seeing the cold air floating out of their black masks, those soldiers who had been overly frightened, their crotches were full of feces and urine, watching the soldiers around him be harvested by these ruthless demons one after another, until he was the last person left, Murong hissed and roared.
"Who the hell are you and why? Why? My soldiers have begged for mercy and surrendered, why don't you spare us and forgive us? ”
When a black army was preparing to end Murong's life, Li Yong stretched out his hand to make him stop.
"It is God's business to forgive you, we only sent you to God."
Li Yong's hand waved, and Murong looked at his body and knelt on the ground, which was the last thing he saw.
"Clean up the traces, evacuate quickly, and no one can find our tracks."
All the black troops began to clean up their traces, quickly evacuated back to the valley, the logistics support force had pulled back all the materials of the enemy camp, and those who could not be pulled back were set on fire, and there was no eyewitness left in the whole attack, Fu Yun's 30,000 army was wiped out in one night, and there was no one who even reported the news, and when the reinforcements found in Wuzhou had not arrived, the scouts sent found that the destroyed reinforcement camp, including the 30,000 troops within General Murong, were all destroyed, and none of them survived, This terrifying achievement made everyone feel that it was not something that humans could do, but in fact it did happen, the black demon army completely penetrated into the hearts of the Tuyuhun tribe, the adults scared the distressed children, and if they cried again, the black demons would arrest you, and the crying children immediately did not dare to cry, so that Li Yong couldn't cry or laugh after he knew it, and he couldn't imagine that he and his black army could still make the people of Tuyuhun dare not cry at night.
"How much grass do we have left?"
"That's enough for the whole army for two months."
"This time our sneak attack on Tuyuhun has a good effect, the brothers have exerted the prestige of our Xishan Army, in addition to this time a large number of grain and grass materials have been seized, but also captured a large number of horses, the people of the intelligence station have been secretly sent back to our military camp, and then everyone hurry up to rest, I believe that Fu Yun will soon send a stronger army to attack us, and attack Wuzhou City at night three days later."
Li Yong stood on the stone and talked to the resting Xishan Army about the results of this time and the next goal, the successive victories made the whole army feel high, eager to take Wuzhou immediately, everyone admired their commander's tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements, easily annihilated the enemy reinforcements of 30,000, the soldiers took the hot food sent by the logistics support personnel and the armor, clothes and weapons in exchange, the combat tradition of the Xishan Army is that at the end of each battle, they will change their armor and clothes and hand them over to the logistics, and the logistics will replace another armor and clothes and weapons for them, This is to prevent the end of the battle armor and weapons from being damaged and affecting the next battle, and the clothing is to prevent sweating from causing unnecessary diseases, which also led to the envy of many later armies for their logistical support.
"Ghost, closely monitor Fu Yun's movements and find out the whereabouts of reinforcements."
Li Yong took off his heavy helmet, untied his hair, and slowly closed his eyes, Fu Yun received his 30,000 reinforcements were all wiped out, and his general Murong was also killed in battle, and fainted on the spot, and Fang Xuanling, who investigated the origin of Li Yong's black army in Chang'an City and the Ministry of War, couldn't find out a trace of it, and it would be hellish if he could find out, Li Yong's Xishan Army had appeared in front of anyone except for the bandits in the surrounding area, and the people who had seen them had become the souls of the dead. I was so shocked that I didn't even know that the military report in my hand fell, and I thought to myself, who the hell is it, this kind of tactical play, the terrifying attack of the army under his command, and whoever becomes the emperor can't sleep.
