Chapter 18 The Bitter Mandarin Duck

Looking back at the deep space of the world, I can't help but go to the attic.

Flying snow and jade flowers dance in the city, and the green silk dyes white sorrow overnight.

According to what Du Wu discussed with himself before departure, Du Wu was responsible for luring the enemy, once the enemy successfully took Xiuyuan City, Pang Tian would definitely send troops to rescue, and he would lead the cavalry to ambush near Longyi City, as long as Pang Tian went out of the city, he would follow closely and kill him halfway.

Dou Jing watched Pang Tian's wolf tooth banner move forward in the cold wind of hunting, followed by a long line of infantry. Those infantry walked heavily but a little loosely, and most of the weapons in their hands were Han army-standard equipment such as ring-headed knives, and Dou Qing couldn't help but curse a few times. At that time, the city of Xihai County was broken, and he lost many weapons to Pang Tian in vain, and in turn equipped the enemy to target him, and Cheng Yongzhen was innocent.

However, complaining is complaining, and the situation of Dou has to pay attention to the situation in front of him. It was about half an hour before the foot soldiers came out of the city. Dou Qian hastily calculated, there were almost two or three thousand people, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, fortunately, all the cavalry he brought today was cavalry, if it was infantry, it would be a tough battle.

After waiting for another cup of tea, the two thousand cavalry led by Dou Kuang quietly followed.

By this time, it was nearly three watches, and the wind began to lighten, but the snow was still very heavy. The horse's hooves were slippery on the muddy snow. An ominous premonition rose in Dou Jing's heart. Before leaving, the deputy general once reminded himself that the road was slippery on a snowy night, and suggested that the whole army's war horses should take anti-skid measures. And he was worried about Du Wu's ability, and was afraid that all the credit would be robbed by Du Wu, so he set off in a hurry regardless of the deputy general's obstruction. Sure enough, now he's starting to regret it a little.

The horses began to slip incessantly, and one after another knights fell off their horses. Seeing this, Dou ordered the army to slow down. After walking for a long time, when they arrived at a barren meadow, the horses had become very laborious to move forward, and Dou was helpless, so he had to order the cavalry to dismount and lead the horses. At this time, Pang Tian's wolf tooth flag was no longer visible, Dou Guan felt a little strange, and was about to order the scout to investigate, when he suddenly heard a shout, and when he raised his eyes, Pang Tian's wolf tooth flag was shining in front of him.

The army hurriedly mounted their horses, but unexpectedly, the enemy suddenly lit torches, and in a moment, the torches flew overhead. Although many torches began to go out when they touched the snow, there were still some torches that fell right on the horses, burning them so that they rolled back and forth, and the knights who sat on them were either trampled to death or dragged down in the snow. More torches fell into the grass, and the grasslands near Qinghai Lake had already dried up in winter, and although they were covered with a layer of snow, the dead grass still burned brightly, lighting up most of the sky.

Dou was a little stunned, and for a moment, he even suspected that it was not Pang Tian's men on the other side, but Du Wu who was taking revenge. Because this tactic was used by Du Wu on Fu Wan just a few hours ago. However, his only remaining sanity and the chirping Qiang language under the wolf's tooth on the other side told him that he had once again been defeated at the hands of Pang Tian.

Damn Qiang, when did you learn to use tricks!

Thinking hatefully, he hurriedly ordered the cavalry to retreat back in order to avoid the range of the torches. However, as soon as the order was issued, I saw a big man under the Wolf Tooth shouting loudly: "Dou Guan, surrender, you have fallen for the strategy of our Jiang Junshi, and there is no way to escape, hahaha!" ”

Jiang Junshi? Dou Jing thought quickly in his mind, and he didn't remember that there was such a person under Pang Tian.

However, at this time, he was no longer allowed to think about it, the other party was an indigenous foot soldier who lived near the Xianshui Sea all the year round, and he led a group of Central Plains cavalry to meet him in the snow, and fools knew how big the victory rate was.

The army was hurriedly retreating, but they heard another drum sounding in the way, and then saw a rain of arrows flying in the air. Everyone fled in a hurry, the horses ran wildly, and countless people were trampled to death.

Dou Guo secretly screamed bitterly, held his hat, and shouted: "Rush!" Otherwise, you'll all have to die! Then he lifted the reins vigorously, and the big black horse neighed, and rushed out first.

The words are divided into two ends.

Just when Dou Qing was monitoring Longyi City, there was already a lot of noise in the Taishou Mansion in the city. Pang Tian learned from the remnants of the Qiang soldiers who fled back that the vanguard was defeated by Du Wu with a fire ox cart, and Fu Wan did not know whether he was alive or dead. Pang Tian was furious, and immediately prepared to send troops to rescue Fu Wan, and by the way, he returned to the Far City of Defense and Xiuyuan.

All the generals hated the same enemy and asked for battle, but at this moment, Pang Tian noticed that the yellow-faced scholar in the hall was half-squinting, his heart moved, and he said: "Why didn't the military advisor say a word?" ”

When the yellow-faced scholar heard this, he stood up and saluted hastily, and said, "Has the chief ever wondered if the army of Dou Guan has not yet appeared? ”

Pang Tian was puzzled: "The Dou situation army has not yet come out, is it only the scholar general who burned our army?" ”

The yellow-faced scholar nodded: "Judging from the description, it is true. The second chief who acted tonight only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, and we got the news that the general of the imperial court was preparing to return to Chang'an, so he definitely wouldn't have too many soldiers and horses. A mere grain transport team needs to use fire to defeat the second chief, which shows that Dou Quan's army has not been dispatched. However, now that the flames are blazing, the war with the second chief has ended, and it is impossible for the Han army not to know. Although Dou Guo has been repeatedly defeated by me recently, his strength has not suffered much loss. He can be regarded as a good general, how could he give up such a good opportunity? In the next guess, the general who transported grain to Beijing in the middle of the night may be Dou Qian's plan, how can it be reasonable to set off in the middle of the night? ”

When Pang Tian heard this, he nodded and became calm: "According to the military division, where is the most likely situation of Dou Qian?" ”

The yellow-faced scholar stood up and pointed to the ground.

Pang Tian patted the case, stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and kept rubbing his hands and said, "Not bad!" Not bad! He first lured people to Fu Wan, and when Fu Wan was defeated, he expected that the old man would go to save him, but he came to Longyi City! Not bad! Not bad! Fortunately, thanks to the military advisor, otherwise tonight would have been unpredictable. The congregation will obey the order! ”

A moment later, a group of foot soldiers drove out of Longyi City under the gaze of Dou Jing, and it was not Pang Tian who led the troops, but the yellow-faced military division. It's a pity that the sky is too dark, and Dou Guo can't tell who the main general is, so there is the opening scene.

Who is the yellow-faced military advisor?

It turned out that the yellow-faced military advisor was named Jiang Banxia, who was originally the son of a businessman in Longyi City, and he was already famous when he was weak, but he was notorious, and he was a well-known prodigal. He loves music very much, and often takes his friends to the Qinglou to listen to music. What "Baitou Yin", "Picking Turnip on the Mountain", and "Mo Shangsang" are already familiar with it. At the beginning of the year, a wonderful woman came to the Qinglou where he frequented, she was delicate and a little charming, her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were like waves, and her lips were blazing, Jiang Banxia fell in love with her at a glance. However, this woman is quite arrogant, and she never wants to date a man alone, but only plays a song on stage every night, which attracts everyone to linger.

How many times, Jiang Banxia asked to meet with this woman in order to kiss Fang Ze, but they were all refused. Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances, and just when he wanted to make another big appointment, Pang Tian led the Qiang people to attack Xihai County, and Xihai Taishou Cheng Yong abandoned the city and fled. Because Taishou ran in a hurry, most of the soldiers and civilians did not escape and were forced to become slaves of the Qiang people. Qinglou naturally did not escape this catastrophe, and when the Qiang soldiers rushed in, Jiang Banxia was still grinding with the old bustard. Pang Tian is a lustful person, after entering the city, the first thing he occupied was the Qinglou, and when he saw that the woman was charming and charming, he asked his subordinates to take him back to the army. The woman's personality is also strong, seeing that she can't avoid this catastrophe, she picked up the dagger she carried with her and was about to kill herself, but was discovered by Pang Tian and kicked in the chest, the woman was seriously injured and fell to the ground, the dagger slanted, and cut a long cut on the right side of her face.

Pang Tian was reluctant to give this woman, and seeing that her appearance was ruined, he wanted to reward her to the soldiers, but Jiang Banxia, who was standing at this time, suddenly stood up and said that if the chief was willing to reward this woman to himself, he would teach Qiang how to break the Han army.

Pang Tian smiled, he was really a young man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he was still a slave, he actually thought of being a hero to save the beauty, and immediately ordered the soldiers to push Jiang Banxia out and kill him.

"Wait!" Jiang Banxia became bold at this time, perhaps knowing that he might definitely die, but he became more calm

"If the chief is willing to let the two of us go, he will help the chieftain to take Xiuyuan City without blood."

Pang Tian was a little skeptical, but after thinking about it, the two of them were already under his control, and life and death depended on his own words. If this young man really has real talent and learning, wouldn't he have gained a treasure? Anyway, this woman has been disfigured, so it's better to be a favor. If he doesn't have real talent, it's not too late to kill him.

The woman didn't expect that she would be able to pick up a life, she looked at Jiang Banxia coldly, and let the two Qiang women take her out of the Qinglou and imprison her.

Seeing the beauty leaving, Jiang Banxia couldn't help but take a step forward: "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"Luo Jianqiu!" A cold voice came from outside the door.

Although Jiang Banxia was not born in the army, he had his own unique views on marching and fighting, and he would formulate corresponding tactics according to the characteristics of the Qiang people. With Jiang Banxia, Pang Tian not only attacked Xiuyuan City, but also successfully surrendered the Three Cities of Jianqiang, and since then he has more trust in him.

In order to win Jiang Banxia's favor, Pang Tian also deliberately lifted Luo Jianqiu's ban, gave him his wife, and worshipped him as a military advisor. Since then, Jiang Banxia and his wife's fate have been closely linked.

In order to survive, Jiang Banxia could only keep giving advice to Pang Tian, Pang Tian's power was getting bigger and bigger, and Xihai County regained its former glory, but this glory belonged to the Qiang people, not the Han people.

Later, Dou Guo came and brought 20,000 soldiers and horses. Under Jiang Banxia's suggestion, Pang Tian had a deep ditch and a high base, that is, he would not fight with Dou Qian, and planned to wait for Dou Guo to retreat. Sure enough, two months later, Liangzhou could no longer support the supply of grain and grass for Dou Qian, and Dou Qing had no choice but to ask the imperial court for reinforcements. Pang Tian originally planned to take this opportunity to send troops to destroy Dou Jing, but Jiang Banxia refused.

"There is a shortage of food in the Dou Qian's army, and the Han will definitely send someone to transport food to him. We only need to ambush on the road to transport grain, and when the grain and grass arrive, we will rob and kill them, so that there is no grain available in Dou condition, and we can grab a large amount of grain and grass for winter, why not? ”

Pang Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the scouts to inquire about the news day and night, preparing to rob the grain and grass. But he didn't want to meet Du Wu, who didn't play cards according to the routine, and Fu Wan didn't know life and death.

Jiang Banxia, who knew Pang Tian's thoughts, said again: The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the snow is heavy, and it is easy for the cavalry to be trapped in the snow when they go out of the city, so it is better to go to the rescue with foot soldiers. In order to prevent a sneak attack, the city needs to be defended by a general, and there are two troops outside the city. The foot soldiers go first, and lie in ambush behind the snowman's nest, if there is an enemy trailing, they can attack it with fire, and at the same time, Pang Tian, who left the city half an hour later, can follow the foot soldiers to attack back and forth, surround and destroy the enemy.

After Pang Tian discussed with the deputy general, he said with a smile: "The Han people have an old saying that the bell must be tied to the bell. The old man marched after half an hour of leading the army, leaving the wife of the military advisor to assist the lieutenant general to guard the city. ”

Jiang Banxia didn't expect Pang Tian to be so cunning, after all, he still didn't trust himself enough, but at this moment, there was no other way, so he had to go out of the city to lure the enemy under the protection of Pang Tian's own soldiers, and there was the scene just now.

What an old fox!

Jiang Banxia thought hatefully.
