At this time, Zhang Yang's army was also issuing a battle plan.

The lieutenant general he promoted suggested taking the initiative to fight and teach the Turks a lesson.

Five thousand people went to teach sixty thousand people a lesson, and Zhang Yang stared at him suspiciously, "Who gave you the courage?" If you're going to kill yourself, I'm not going to stop you. ”

The adjutant general laughed wryly, "Isn't this swelling with the general's repeated victories?" ”

Zhang Yang already had a full set of operational ideas in his mind, "The key to this battle is the water source. According to the spies, the water level of the moat has dropped, and it is believed that the Turks cut off the river. Without water, their siege strategy would work, and the top priority was to restore water to Zhaozhou.

Let's not contact the city for now, so as not to startle the snakes and let the Turks take precautions.

The Zhaozhou River, thirty miles from the Turkic military camp, at night, we made a small circle to avoid the inspection range of the Turkic spies, and then captured the river and fought quickly.

Today's training has been halved, so everyone can take a break.

Although the Turkic cavalry is brave, but the horses along the river are frightened, which will affect the cavalry battle, the Turks are not watery, if they can make good use of the river, how can their military formation play better.

If the Turks call for formation, they will retreat ten miles directly. In the evening, some of the baggage was left behind, and the rest was moved to the vicinity of the river. Do you know all about it? ”

The seven lieutenants in the barracks replied yes in unison.

The brave army is different from the ordinary army of the Great Zhou, the night is similar to the Turkic bonfire party, the people who are not on duty that night, after training and running, around the fire chatting, showing talents, telling stories, singing military songs, so there is no need to bother to announce a few more cooking, and the enemy cannot judge their movements by their eating habits.

The Turkic scouts found out that the diet was the same that night, and the Turkic officers were even more convinced that the attack on the camp tonight was safe.

Before the war, the general will let the soldiers eat more, eat a full meal, and exert their strength, no matter how bad they are, they can be a full ghost, so the consumption of food and grass before the war will generally increase, and when training in peacetime, it will be less.

It's just that the flamboyant troops, at any time, are only allowed to eat eight points full, and the exercise of eating enough will overload the human organs, which is not conducive to physical and mental health.

The Turkic scouts could hardly detect this military discipline and thought it was business as usual.

At night, the north wind is howling, and the barracks on both sides are as bright as ever.

Zhang Yang held a silver-white spear and a white armor, leading the soldiers to the Turkic camp.

Most of the Turkic soldiers guarding the river are still in bed, there is no wind and sand of the Turkic Khanate at night, and there are no jackals that eat people, they are relaxed, although there are the cities of the Great Zhou on the side, but there are scouts and large armies, and the silent Khan is strategizing, and they sleep very sweetly.

The patrolling armor soldiers were also a little slack, and the elite soldiers brought out by Zhang Yang slowly broke through one by one, and they didn't shout too much when they were beheaded.

By the time there was a faint sound of enemy attack in the Turkic camp, many of them had already been beheaded, and many of those who woke up early had been shot by the archers on the periphery, and only a few escaped.

The Turkic soldiers did not have time to put on their armor, they could only touch the usual weapons, and then rushed out of the battalion.

The camp slowly became lively.

Zhang Yang shouted "kill", and then the shouts of the Great Zhou soldiers came and went.

In the cold night, I don't know the number of enemy troops, and the corpses of the Turks are all over the ground, which really makes people unable to think of fighting.

The Turks decisively began to rush horses to break through, although Zhang Yang laid many traps, arranged sneak attacks and archers, but the number of people was too small, and the preparation time was short, many people still escaped from the camp.

At the end of the First World War, the spear in Zhang Yang's hand was already dyed red, and the blood stained his robe, and the soldiers slowly gathered and began to count, count the battle damage, and collect Turkic materials.

The Turks who broke through the siege wounded about 100 soldiers, 5,000 against 8,000 in this battle, 3,000 enemies were destroyed, 3,000 were taken prisoner, and 2,000 fled.

The battle was won, and the warriors quickly set up camp not far from the Turkic camp, dredged the river, and set traps to prevent the silent slur.

Mo Si led 40,000 cavalry, made a slight detour, and arrived at a higher place, leading 10,000 soldiers to wait for news, and leading 30,000 people to quickly attack the enemy camp by his henchmen.

When they arrived at the camp, they found only a few tents and campfires, and when they entered the camp, they encountered traps and lost a number of horses and warriors.

Everyone returned in vain, silently screaming in their hearts that it was not good, and soon, the people left behind in the camp came to report that Zhang Yang attacked the river, and only two thousand of the eight thousand warriors remained.

On the march in the middle of the night, the Turkic soldiers were tired, so Mo Si had to order him to return to the camp for rectification.

In this battle, the army led 100,000, and the loss was nearly forty percent, and the Turkic warriors no longer had the pride to break through the six states in a row, and they were afraid of Zhang Yang.

In the past, the garrison of the Black Tooth Chang lasted for three years, and several Turks were broken, and the former Khan Ashina Gu Dulu had to lead the tribe to flee to the north of the desert. Since Mo Si succeeded to the throne, the black tooth is getting old, and now he is responsible for the important task of assisting in the defense of Tibet, the Turks invaded the border, and the Great Zhou War will defeat countless people.

It's a pity that I met Zhang Yang.

It's really a great week, and generations of generals will do their best.

The Turkic generals agreed to go to Liuzhou to avenge the fallen soldiers, and then retired to recuperate, but suddenly an uninvited guest who claimed to help Mo Si arrived.

Mo Si knew that the Great Zhou court was intrigued, and it was not a bad thing for this person to come secretly, so he drank everyone back and met him alone.

The person who came was Wu Sansi's henchman Song Yan.

Song Yan was dressed in black and black, blending into the dark night, like a ghost.

Mo Si was a little displeased when he saw him sneaky, "If you can't say that you are ugly, don't think about leaving alive today." ”

Song Yan bowed slightly to Mo Si with his fists clenched, "Below is the henchman of Wu Sansi, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who has come to help the Khan." ”

Mo Si knew that Wu Sansi was this person, "The general is not subject to foreign military orders, what is the use of him in the court." ”

Song Yan was not panicked at all, especially after he lost the battle, he believed that he needed Wu Sansi's support even more, "The prime minister can inform you of the reinforcements, you are now in the army, so you won't be frightened by the five thousand soldiers." ”

Mo Si snorted coldly, "Just the news of reinforcements wants to exchange the friendship of the Turkic Khanate?" ”

Song Yan: "There is another piece of news, which should be what the Khan wants to know." Now the black tooth Changzhi can't come, the mobilization of armaments in Xiazhou is slow, if there are reinforcements, they must first apply to the Ministry of Annexation to report the military salary expenses, and now it is difficult to recruit troops, and the prime minister can make it more difficult for him. In addition, you are guaranteed plenty of time to retreat. ”

"What about the conditions?"

Song Yan stretched out his finger and gestured, "Two conditions, first, you must take Zhaozhou Dingzhou." Second, on the grounds that the Turkic world received the favor of Emperor Li Tang, he requested that King Luling be appointed as the crown prince, and then before marrying King Yin, Wu Yanxiu was not allowed to return to Beijing. ”

Mo sneered: "These are the four conditions, the Turks lack siege equipment, they must be provided by you, and I still have to know the military salary of the two states." The marriage of the Turkic princess will not bother the prime minister of Da Zhou. ”

Two more
