Chapter 1675 : In the middle of the night
Zezhou is not far from Handian. After some inquiries, Tang He got accurate information. The Tartars commander Wang Baobao was not in Taiyuan. Because he was seriously injured when he attacked Dadu last time, he was seriously injured and recovered from the injury. This made him make up his mind that the biggest reason for sending troops without permission from Grand Marshal Xu Da was that he learned that Wang Baobao was in Handian, and there were only 5,000 soldiers around him. It was this that gave him the courage to send troops. Five thousand soldiers and horses fought against five thousand, ten times.
1. As long as you are not a fool, you will never lose this battle. Of course, Tang He is not a fool, nor is he a useless man like Zhao Kuo who only knows how to talk about war on paper. Tang He made many outstanding achievements in Chuzhou, Hezhou (now He County, Anhui), Taiping (now Dangtu (now Dangtu), Zhenjiang, Pingjiang (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), eastern Zhejiang, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other battles. Later, he conquered Yanping (now Nanping, Fujian), captured Chen Youding, and forced Fang Guozhen to surrender.
Now he is the vanguard general of the Northern Expedition who has captured Zezhou City. Although Wang Baobao is terrible, Tang He is not a weak person. It is enough to capture Wang Baobao for 50,000 troops.
Tang He looked confident and the army came out of Zezhou City. Wherever the 50,000 troops went, there was no resistance. Even some Tartars opened the city gate and surrendered when they heard his name. That night, all the cities around Zezhou fell into his hands.
"General, is the scout back?" Deputy General Tang Xin held the horse's reins and clasped his fists.
Tang He's body, sitting on the horse, trembled slightly and said nervously: "Where is the front?"
Tang Xin said: "Report to the general, the convenience of the front is the Korean store!"
Tang He asked: "How many enemy troops are there?"
Tang Xin said: "According to the scouts' investigation, there are less than five thousand soldiers?"
Tang He let go, nodded and asked again, "Wang Baobao is here?"
Tang Xin said: "Are you, I heard that I was injured very much, and the big tent was closely guarded by the Tartars!"
After a series of inquiries, Tang He was completely relieved after learning the news. He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. Changzhi County was ahead. He captured Wang Baobao alive. The first contribution to Shanxi was Tang He.
"Listen to my order, the three armies rushed to the Handian and captured Wang Baobao alive!" Tang He sat down immediately and issued an order in a deep voice.
"The three armies are moving forward quickly!" Tang Xin tied the reins of the horse and issued an order to the 50,000 troops behind him.
The night was silent. In the tent, Wang Baobao was patiently waiting for the news sent by the scouts ahead. This battle was crucial and he could not be careless. All the people were already ambushed. Just waiting for Tang He's 50,000 troops to enter the Korean shop, it was enough to capture and kill him in one fell swoop. In this way, not only would the morale of the court be improved in all aspects, but it was mainly because he knew that Xu Da's army was still in Yuci this time. Even if he knew that the 50,000 troops were surrounded, he would not be able to rescue him. Therefore, this time he must not miss such a good opportunity given to him by God.
There was a slight footsteps outside the door, and Han Zha'er flashed and walked in.
Wang Baobao immediately stood up, lowered his voice and asked, "What's the situation? Is Tang Heke here?"
Han Zha'er nodded and said, "Tang and the 50,000 troops have arrived in the Handian. All the ambushed people have formed a siege and surrounded them. This time, let the Tartars see how powerful we are!"
Wang Baobao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to say in a low voice: "Send the order, the sound of the horn sounds, and watch the fight!"
"Mind Master understands!" Han Zha'er hugged her fists and was about to turn away when she suddenly remembered something, and stopped and turned around and said to Wang Baobao: "Marson, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver an order, saying that His Majesty is not used to living in the upper house, so that the Marshal can quickly regain Dadu and the former country of Photovoltaic Yuan!"
Wang Baobao looked silent for a moment, nodded, and said calmly: "I understand!"
Han Zha'er responded and left the tent.
The candlelight swayed in the tent. Wang Baobao sighed softly with his hands on his back, looked at the military map on the table, reached out and clicked slightly in Dadu's position, and said to himself: "Catch Dadu back?"
After a night of hard march, the 50,000 army led by Tang He finally arrived at the Han Dian on the eve of dawn. Looking at the Han Dian, which was still blurred in the night fog, Tang He showed a slightly smile on his face and said to himself: "Wang Baobao, this time I, Tang He, must capture you alive!"
"Marson, they are here!" Han Zha'er whispered in a low voice.
Wang Baobao was wearing brand new armor, with a solemn face, but his eyes were flashing with a confident light. He looked at the Nan barbarian who was vaguely visible in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited: "Send the order, blow the trumpet!"
"Wuwu-Wuwu-Wuwu-?" A sharp and rapid sound of horns quickly spread in the night sky.
Tang and the 50,000 troops were taking advantage of the bright sky, afraid that the enemy would have ambushed. Wang Baobao was cautious and was entrenched in Shanxi and Gansu for many years, so he could not allow him to be careless, so he let the soldiers rest on the spot, wait for the bright sky to take the opportunity to launch an attack.
"What's the sound?" Tang He sat on the horse, listening to the sound coming from the southeast, and his face changed immediately.
Tang Xin's face also changed. He could hear the sound clearly behind Tang He.
"Go and see what the sound is?" A feeling of uneasiness made Tang He yell at Tang Xin beside him.
"Yes!" Tang Xin responded, turned around and left after he pulled the horse back. After a moment, Tang Xin galloped over the horse and said breathlessly: "No, no, no, general, is this the horn of the Tartars?"
When he heard the sound of the Tartars' horn, Tang He's expression changed drastically. He, who was calm in the past, showed a look of horror for the first time.
The horn sound came very quickly. At first, only one sound was heard. Soon there were whimpering horns everywhere. The more Tang He heard it, he became more and more uneasy. He said in his heart: "I heard that the horn sound was originally from the southeast, and now the west, north, and south. Is it because we were surrounded by the Tartars? But how did these Tartars know that we would come and how could they come so quickly? Oh, yes, they must have made arrangements. Zezhou is just a bait, and the Han Dian is the real battlefield. This strategy is not very clever. It's a pity that I, Tang He, was fooled! It's ridiculous, ridiculous?"
The sound of the horns became faster and faster, and the sound became louder and louder. When the sound of the horns on all sides was heard, the lively horns suddenly stopped suddenly and no sound could be heard anymore.
The night began to reveal the fish-white morning light, illuminating everything around. Tang He, outside Handian City, was silent with his 50,000 troops. No one spoke, for fear that as soon as someone spoke, it would attract a crazy attack from the Tartars.
