Volume 5 Chapter 722 Datang, there is no good person!
Different from the previous mutual temptations, this time, there was no way out of the war between the two sides from the first contact.
The reason why Datang sent troops was to defend the glory of Datang and rescue Datang compatriots, under this premise, Li Junxian had no way to refuse, let alone release water.
As for Wan Qipu and them, it is actually simpler, this battle is for Li Chengqian to successfully ascend to Dabao, so both sides are clearly showing their strength.
So there is no conspiracy in this battle.
At least at this stage, the purpose of both parties is the same.
Of course, the most aggrieved person here is Li Junxian.
He didn't want to take sides, he didn't want to represent anyone, but he couldn't choose.
As long as Li Er does not transfer him from Taohe County, he must be restrained by Liu Shuyi.
This is where he is most helpless.
Let's just put it this way, as long as this big war continues, even if he doesn't want to choose, he will have to have a choice in the end.
Without him, now, Liu Shuyi tied it to his chariot with great righteousness.
This was the fate he faced.
As for defecting to Li Chengqian, hehe, if he joins Li Chengqian at this time, then he will not betray Li Ke, but betray Datang!
It wasn't until near evening that the battle stopped.
Without him, neither side had the energy to continue.
Back at the barracks, Wan Qipu said to the accompanying soldiers: "Count how many capable soldiers there are in each department, tonight, this general will attack the enemy camp at night." ”
"Our casualty rate in this battle is not low." The soldier said, "Datang's gunpowder bullets have really caused us a lot of pressure. ”
Since Datang developed black powder, Li Er has also invested in this area regardless of cost, of course, there are not many armies that can be equipped with black powder.
The reason why Taohe County has it here is that Li Er is adding weight to Li Ke.
After all, the benefits of the Ming Dynasty's armaments are already famous all over the world.
If Li Ke is too inferior in this regard, then his plan is basically impossible to succeed.
"Don't we have gunpowder bullets?" Wan Qipu also snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Pass the order, prepare all the trebuchets for General Ben, and tonight, General Ben will let them see how to use this gunpowder bullet!"
In addition, the military doctors who followed the army all said that the past two days have been hard, and the war is over, and General Ben personally asks for credit for them.
In the end, all the weapons sent before the prison were sent to Lao Tzu, since everyone has made achievements in external injuries, then find something to do for their doctors.
Hmph, wound suturing, that's my Ming originality, how can there be no way to deal with it? ”
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately went down to do so.
However, Wan Qipu was not idle, going in and out of various wounded barracks, and discussed the specific details of the night attack with his subordinates.
Just after the hour, everyone only got a short rest, Wan Qipu gathered all the soldiers who could still fight, and went straight to the enemy camp.
However, what is more interesting is that when Wan Qipu just led the army straight to the enemy camp, a scout came to report with an embarrassed face: "General, that Li Junxian led the army towards us, looking like that, it is probably an idea to fight with the general." ”
"I'm grass." Wan Qipu was also stunned when he heard this, and scolded secretly, "This guy, is he really going to stand in line?" ”
He was not surprised that Li Junxian would have this kind of behavior, what really surprised him was Li Junxian's choice.
Judging from what he knows, Li Junxian and Liu Shuyi are not all the way.
Since you are not a person all the way, do you need to work so hard?
However, the scouts and telescopes under his command are standard, and he has an innate advantage in anticipating the enemy first.
"General, what should we do then?" The soldiers under his command asked.
Wan Qipu didn't think about it, so he said: "What else can I do, first seize the territory, and set up all the trebuchets for General Ben, since the night attack is not successful, it is okay to fight an ambush battle!" Lao Tzu wants to see whether the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are more fierce, or the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty are sharper! ”
With that, Wan Qipu immediately began to make arrangements.
Now that Li Junxian's movements have been discovered, of course, it is to wait for work, and a fool will fight any encounter, there is no need.
And, at night, it's better to set up an ambush.
When everything was ready, Wan Qipu ordered the army to extinguish the torches, and the whole army hid in the darkness like a hunting wolf.
As for Li Junxian, he naturally wouldn't be careless, and he also sent a lot of scouts to reconnoiter in front along the way, but his scouts couldn't catch up with Daming in terms of equipment after all.
However, Li Junxian is also an old general, and when he found that there were scouts who had not returned for a long time, he ordered the army to stop and sent another scout.
"General, are we being too careful?" A soldier under his command asked puzzledly, "It's normal for a scout to get lost or have an accident at night, and it's just one person, if we keep waiting like this, won't we delay the fighter?" ”
Li Junxian shook his head and said, "The scouts sent by this general are all experienced scouts, if he would get lost at night or have some accident as you said, then he would have died I don't know how many times." ”
Now is not the contest between him and Wan Qipu, and he can't afford to be careless.
If he really wants to fall in love with other people's ways, he will be embarrassed.
The most important thing is that he now represents Datang.
At this time, Wan Qipu was also in pain, he had already received the news of the scouts, just now, their scouts besieged and killed the Tang scouts, and Li Junxian's army was two miles away from their ambush point.
Yes, it's only two miles away, and if Wan Qipu takes out his binoculars at this time, he can still see the fire in the camp where Li Junxian temporarily camped.
This made him quite helpless.
Another half an hour passed, and just when Li Junxian already thought that the scout couldn't come back, someone finally hurried back.
"General, we were discovered by the scouts of the Ming Dynasty, and at this moment, the scouts of the Ming Dynasty are frantically intercepting and killing our people." The returning scout said hurriedly.
"Have you found Wan Qipu's army?" Li Junxian asked.
"I haven't found it yet." The scout said.
"Didn't you find that Wan Qipu's army still has so many scouts besieging you?" Li Junxian pondered for a while and said, "This is not right, Wan Qipu is just afraid that there is an ambush nearby, I have long heard that the scouts of the Ming Dynasty have a telescope, and our whereabouts must have been discovered by them."
Wan Qipu of the dog day probably also wanted to attack the enemy camp at night like General Ben, but their scouts discovered our whereabouts in advance, and this is where the cat is preparing to ambush us. ”
I have to say that Li Junxian is still very brainy.
After thinking about it, I understood the general situation of the matter.
"So what do we do?" At that moment, a pro-soldier asked, "It's all here, do you want to retreat?" ”
Li Junxian thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "What to withdraw?" In this way, let the army camp on the spot, and the fire will be burned vigorously by the general, and all the wine and meat will be brought out, and of course, the meat can be eaten, and the wine will be freed, and besides, that thing cannot be drunk.
Then disperse the scouts, Lao Tzu does not have the ability to anticipate the enemy first, but Lao Tzu takes fifty steps and a scout, dense, can you still sneak attack Lao Tzu? ”
Speaking of this, Li Junxian smiled, "Lao Tzu wants to see if this cold is what the army of Wan Qipu can survive, or we can survive." ”
Should I say it or not, few of these generals in the early Tang Dynasty could do human things.
With such a lack of morality and a smoking idea, it is estimated that Li Junxian can think of it.
Aren't you going to fight an ambush?
Since you want to fight an ambush, then you naturally have to hide yourself completely in this dark night, just this day, then you can't kill a person coldly?
He doesn't care, he is roasting on the fire, he is very comfortable.
As for whether it will be a miscalculation, there is a possibility, but what does it matter?
Even if he miscalculated, it would only be a loss of a chance to attack at night, but if he really wanted to follow someone else's way, then the loss would be great.
When the subordinates heard him say this, they were suddenly happy one or two.
Not to mention, it's a real idea.
At that moment, everyone tossed according to Li Junxian's arrangement.
Of course, it seems that they are camping, but in fact, the entire army is always on standby, ready to respond to all kinds of sudden attacks.
And not far away, when Wan Qipu received the news from the scout, the whole person was not good.
", it's exposed. This guy is deliberately disgusting us! Wan Qianpu was a little helpless, he and Li Junxian had been fighting for so long, and naturally he knew that this guy was difficult, but it was difficult to entangle, such a shameless Li Junxian, he saw it for the first time, "Damn, why didn't Lao Tzu find out that he also had such a shameless side before?"
took Lao Tzu's path, which made Lao Tzu in a dilemma. ”
He is really speechless, he has been fighting with Li Junxian for so long, he used to be a peerless man on the road of shamelessness and no lower limit, and now, Li Junxian, a shameless person, has also begun to embark on this road of no return.
"So we're going to spend it with them?" The subordinate hurriedly asked.
"Consumed?" When Wan Qipu heard this, he didn't hide it, "Consume his uncle, does he really think that he has eaten Lao Tzu?" Since he dared to attack at night, not to mention the empty nest in the military camp, but he definitely didn't have any combat power, so General Ben took three hundred light horsemen and made a detour to smash Huanglong, and you continue to stay here and spend it with him.
Well, as long as you stay here, don't let them scout take half a step, Li Junxian must think that Lao Tzu is afraid that the ambush point will be exposed.
When he reacted, Lao Tzu was killed. ”
"Isn't this a bit risky, their army is here, is it really necessary to sneak up on the camp?" Hearing him say this, the soldiers under his command were also a little confused.
You must know that their entire army has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, some of which were lost in battle before, and some of which were wounded, and now the army is less than 1,000 people.
If Wan Qipu takes away another three hundred light horsemen, they will have hundreds of soldiers and horses, and if Li Junxian really notices it, they will be in danger.
Of course, they are not afraid of death, the key is that the risk is too high to divide the troops in this way.
And Li Junxian's camp is gone, and it doesn't make much sense to raid his camp at this time.
At least in their opinion.
"You know the." Wan Qipu immediately said, "Just listen to Lao Tzu, even if Li Junxian really finds something, don't say whether they dare to make a move on you, even if they dare, there are so many trebuchets, beckoning them is condescending, what are you worried about?"
Lao Tzu complains about the army, which time is not to win more against the enemy?
Fuck, it's been a long time, haven't you? ”
After speaking, Wan Qipu didn't bother to explain to them, and immediately began to make intensive arrangements.
After all the matters were explained, Wan Qipu led the army to let the scouts clear the way and made a detour to Li Junxian's lair.
At this time, Li Junxian didn't know that Wan Qipu had begun to make a mistake, and was analyzing Wan Qipu's ambush point with the soldiers.
"For their subordinates, their best ambush point is on a few hills ahead, although there are no high mountains in this area, but as long as they occupy a condescending advantage, plus their armament, if we rush into it, it will be really easy to get into their way."
Immediately, someone said.
When Li Junxian heard this, he also nodded, and said, "Indeed, if General Ben were to set up an ambush, he would choose like this." Speaking of this, Li Junxian sighed and said, "In the final analysis, our scouts are still inferior to others in terms of equipment, if our scouts can also have a Ming telescope in their hands, we can also do this kind of ambush." ”
"No, our scouts haven't won the scouts of the Ming Dynasty? Don't they have a telescope in their hands? Wouldn't you be able to rob one by killing one? Someone asked, puzzled.
Hearing this, Li Junxian shook his head: "Do you think you're the only one who thinks of this?" Since I learned that Daming's scouts and spies are all telescopes, Daming's spies and scouts have become fragrant, I don't know how many people went to intercept and kill them, at that time, even those outlaws in Datang wanted to make this windfall.
After all, a telescope is about to be hyped up to a sky-high price in Chang'an.
But when they succeeded, they found that as long as they used the telescope, the lens was broken, and from then on, the spies and scouts of the Ming Dynasty were almost ignored......
The risk of intercepting them is high, the cost is high, and who wants to provoke them if it is not necessary? ”
While they were chatting, Wan Qipu had already traveled lightly and went straight to Li Junxian's camp.
"This time, we raided the enemy camp, and for nothing else, we burned their grain and grass and blew up their powder bombs. Damn, dare to play this game with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't give you something powerful, I really think Lao Tzu gave it for nothing! ”
Wan Qipu said with a sinister face, "Who the said that attacking the camp can only kill people?" Did you understand it all for Lao Tzu? ”
As soon as they heard this, all the soldiers immediately understood.
After a while, more than 300 people rode alone and in pairs, and went straight to Li Junxian's camp.
And Li Junxian's battalion heard the movement, and the soldiers who stayed behind also got up one after another to meet the enemy.
However, Wan Qipu didn't care about them at all, and threw Molotov cocktails into the camp if they didn't need money.
For a time, the entire camp was in flames.
Lao Tzu can't find your grain and gunpowder storehouse, but the whole camp is burning, can you still hide?
As for killing, there is no need, as long as Li Junxian's grain, grass and gunpowder magazine are burned, it is more cost-effective than killing as many people as possible.
"General, we haven't found their powder magazine yet." Just as Wan Qipu threw out an incendiary bomb, a soldier shouted.
Bang, bang, bang!
Just as he finished speaking, a rumbling explosion sounded, resounding throughout the night.
Seeing this, Wan Qipu was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
