Section 108: Li Yuanxing's Pit (Second, Ask for a Monthly Pass)
That night, Li Yubao met the Turkic army, with 30,000 elite soldiers, and behind him were 40,000 to 50,000 people with their families, one million sheep, and 60,000 horses.
"The Turks are going to take the lead in attacking the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yubao whispered to the deputy general beside him.
"Shut up in front of the big tent!" a Turkic soldier yelled.
Li Yubao and others quickly shut their mouths, but it was not over yet. Another Turkic soldier raised his whip: "Get out of the way, don't block the running of the big Turkic warrior!" Helpless, Li Yubao had no choice but to retreat to the corner.
He took out one of the black-feathered arrows he brought and pinned it on his leg.
A group of Turkic knights rode past without even looking at Li Yubao and others.
It seemed that it would take some time for the Turks to receive him. Li Yubao said to the guarding Turk soldiers: "I want to go to the toilet!"
"Get away!" The Turkic soldier raised his hand and whipped him.
In the eyes of the Turks, Liang Shidu was just a dog, and Liang Shidu's men were even worse than dogs.
Li Yubao was whipped, but he did not dare to resist and walked towards the darkness.
A slave who was feeding the horses caught Li Yubao's attention. The man's hair was tied with straw to represent a piece of cloth. This seemed to be the same as what the small official from the Security Department of the Datang Empire had told him before he came.
"Da Qin is a water virtue!" Li Yubao whispered.
The slave feeding the horse didn't even turn his head, he just said: "Get out of here, you lunatic!"
Is it wrong? Li Yubao was a little confused, so he walked to a tree and opened his pants to let some water out. But just when Li Yubao was about to go back, the feeding slave shouted to him again: "Come here and help me carry the grass."
Li Yubao didn't want to pay attention to the slave, but a shout came from not far away: "You cheap soldiers in Liangcheng, hurry up and pick up the grass. Our Turkic horse slaves are much nobler than you!" After shouting, several Turkic soldiers laughed.
Laughing.
Lift the grass, you can only lift the grass.
However, Li Yubao also understood that this time the Turks planned to destroy Liang Shidu. It seemed that even if the Tang Dynasty was not destroyed, the Turks would take action. Liang Shidu would always die, but he was lucky.
It seems better to surrender to the Tang Dynasty earlier.
While carrying the grass, the slave cursed in a low voice: "Who trained you? How dare a Turk to shout the joint signal!"
"This..." Li Yubao was choked and speechless.
"What are you here for?" the slave asked again. Just when Li Yubao was about to answer, he suddenly came to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing!" Before coming, the young man from the Security Department of the Tang Empire
The official has already explained it, and Li Yubao's mission cannot be told to anyone except himself.
Fortunately, Li Yubao reacted.
"This is not bad. Is there any way to arrange for one person to go back? Could it be that we have already captured Shuofang City!"
The armor on Li Yubao's body is that of Liang Shidu's soldiers and horses. This is easy to identify. If you can't even recognize this, people like the Security Department of the Tang Empire are too useless.
"Yes!" After Li Yubao thought about it, he thought it was still possible to send someone back first.
A wax pill was handed to Li Yubao's hand and he whispered: "It must be delivered." Then the slave kicked Li Yubao: "Get out, you are stupid and can't even move grass, get out!"
Li Yubao collected the wax pills in his arms and left quickly.
When Li Yubao returned, King Zuoxian of the Turks happened to want to see him.
"Honorable Lord Zuo Xian, Mr. Liang asked me to say hello to you on my behalf." Li Yubao knelt on the ground. It turned out that this was not the first time that he knelt at the feet of Turks. It seemed that Turks liked to see Tang people kneel down. Before, he felt in his heart
There weren't many fluctuations, but this time, Li Yubao felt a huge sense of humiliation!
King Zuo Xian waved his hand, and someone threw a piece of meat bone in front of Li Yubao. "It's for you!"
Li Yubao had to pretend no matter how unwilling he was, he held up the bones and thanked him and said: "Please send the troops quickly, King Zuo Xian, my Duke Liang can't hold it anymore. The little Qin King of the Tang Army is really arrogant, asking my family Liang
The duke surrendered, but he only promised a wealthy earl. If he doesn't agree tomorrow, he will attack Liangcheng!"
After speaking, Li Yubao took out a box.
In the box, there is a letter stamped with the seal of the King of Qin, the one that conferred the title of earl. Then there is an autographed letter from Liang Shidu. This letter was written by several of Liang Shidu’s close scribes under the whip. Finally, there is also a letter
It's Zhao Yande's personal letter and a token!
"Hmph!" King Zuo Xian snorted coldly: "Why doesn't that bitch Zhao Yande come over to see me personally?"
"General Zhao flashed his waist last night!"
Hahaha! King Zuo Xian laughed: "A bitch who can only roll on a woman's belly and can't even show off any dignity!"
Li Yubao did not dare to answer, but lowered his head very low.
"Send people back quickly. I will enter the city at noon tomorrow. Let that bitch and your Liang Gong come out of the city to meet you. You will serve as my guide and we will set off at the fourth watch tomorrow!" King Zuo Xian obviously did not intend to travel all night.
If you arrive at noon tomorrow, you won't be in trouble. If the Tang army attacks the city, a cavalry charge below the city will solve the problem.
That night, Li Yuanxing got a wax pill.
It was written in a secret language. Qin Qiong hired someone who was responsible for the secret language to read it and write it in popular language.
People in the Tang Dynasty were very frugal, saving paper and ink.
Li Yuanxing only glanced at it and gave it to Li Jing. In fact, Li Yuanxing couldn't understand most of what it meant. Li Jing understood everything easily, and then said to Li Yuanxing: "With this thing, we will win. With the strength of the Turkic troops,
All the arrangements are here, there are about 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the front group and about 70,000 herdsmen."
"The only trouble is the sheep!" Qin Qiong also said: "There are too many sheep, not to mention how difficult it is to surround them all. Even if they are surrounded, these sheep can feed them for a month, and the herdsmen still have some food on them."
Li Yuanxing didn't feel much pressure. There are at least hundreds of versions of this tactic in later generations. "I have a tactic, which requires a certain amount of sacrifice. At most, half of the 500 riders who rush forward can come back alive.
But it can cut off the Turks’ front and back formations!”
"What kind of method?" Li Jing and Qin Qiong asked at the same time.
"Heavy cavalry chain formation!" Li Yuanxing was actually talking about later generations. In the Song Dynasty, a variant of the kidnapper horse used by the Jin Kingdom had many similar uses in cavalry formations. Especially when cutting off enemy troops,
The effect is very good, but the disadvantage is obvious, that is, the follow-up force cannot keep up, which will cause a consumption of combat power.
Li Yuanxing was afraid that the two of them would not understand, so he drew water on the table: "Connect four horses with iron chains and iron frames, and install iron spurs on the outside. The knight holds a spear in his hand, and a crossbow can be installed at the back. At the most suitable place
The timing can produce huge results. In addition to the weakness that the follow-up troops cannot keep up, this formation can only attack for five miles at most, and the horsepower is insufficient!"
"Wuli, that's enough!" Qin Qiong thought differently from Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing was worried that there would be too many casualties, and at most half of the cavalry would come back alive. This tactic was to let the sergeants go up and die.
But Qin Qiong was different. What Qin Qiong thought in his mind was, what if all the 500 cavalry died? Then there would be 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 heavy armor. Cutting off the Turks was not a problem. As long as 3,000 to 5,000 people were killed, he could hold on to the large group of troops.
If there is a chance to form a formation, then this plan will be considered a complete success.
Li Jing's ideas are very similar to Qin Qiong's.
But Li Jing was obviously smarter than Qin Qiong. Li Jing said: "Wulang's proposal is very clever. Why don't we modify some larger vehicles and use them in vehicle formations? The speed of the light armored infantry is fast enough, so intercepting the Turks will not be a problem!"
"Okay! Let's make arrangements separately!" Li Yuanxing patted the table.
Someone will naturally do the specific work, and Li Yuanxing, the King of Qin, does not need to personally inquire about this trivial matter.
Qin Qiong went out to inspect the preparations for the trap again, while Li Jing went to select the elite light-armored infantry and the carts to be used to set up the formation. The five hundred knights who were the first to rush into the formation were naturally served by slave soldiers.
This kind of mission is the same as Yuchi Gong's mission after his death. As long as you are alive, you will have merit.
Lao Lang and Bai Erwa came back and heard the news.
Both of them knelt outside the door of Li Yuanxing's room, asking for only one thing. They wanted to be the leader of the five hundred cavalry. It didn't matter whether it was a fatal battle or a narrow escape.
Li Yuanxing felt a headache as he pressed his temples. Old Wolf is a fool and a bastard. But Bai Erwa, why are you joining in the fun? I want to persuade them, but I don’t know how. I really want to ask someone to pull these two bastards down and give them a good beating.
Ten boards.
"Old Wolf!" Li Yuanxing said after thinking again and again.
"Here!" The old wolf finally raised his head. Every time he saw the shallow wounds on Li Yuanxing's face, the old wolf was heartbroken.
"I'll give you a life-threatening mission!" Li Yuanxing said calmly.
The old wolf's body was trembling: "Xu Wan will not hesitate to die!"
What a real person. Li Yuanxing was filled with emotions. He tried to keep himself calm and said slowly: "Li Yubao is a surrendered general. This time he dared to lure the Turks into my trap. This is a great achievement. They
It is very likely that such a person is in the Turkic front army and has meritorious service, so I don’t want to see him die, so you have a thousand-man team to rescue them!"
"I accept my order!" The old wolf kowtowed heavily and retreated.
Of course, someone will arrange the dispatch of troops. Lao Lang has Li Yuanxing's order and just goes to the military camp to select people.
After the old wolf walked a few steps, Li Yuanxing suddenly stopped the old wolf: "Old wolf, there is another task." This time, Li Yuanxing did not speak, but took out his notepad, tore off a piece of paper, and then quickly wrote with a signature pen
After writing a note, he said to Lao Lang: "As long as you know this task."
The old wolf took it and took a look, stunned.
Li Yuanxing was laughing, and Old Wolf suddenly laughed too, and nodded vigorously: "Old Wolf, take your orders!" After that, he ran away with a smile.
Now when it comes to Bai Erwa, Li Yuanxing really doesn't know why Bai Erwa is so crazy, but there really is a task that can be given to Bai Erwa.
"Erwa! We have spies who should infiltrate among the herdsmen, and some of them may be in the army. After cutting off the Turkic army, you lead two thousand people. I want those spies to come back alive, and those herdsmen to surrender honestly in the end."
"What will happen if they don't surrender?" Bai Erwa asked blankly.
Li Yuanxing looked at Bai Erwa with a non-smiling smile: "What are you wearing on your waist?"
Bai Erwa lowered his head and glanced down. He took off his belt with both hands and held it in his hands: "It's the knife given to Erwa by His Highness!" After saying that, Bai Erwa also reacted: "If they don't surrender, Erwa has a knife in his hand. !" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
