Wu Chengsi was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "Okay then, be careful yourself."
Wu Youji said solemnly: "Then I'll go out and make preparations." After saying that, he left the camp.
Wu Chengsi turned his eyes to Hei Te Changzhi: "You should also go and be prepared. When the enemy approaches ten miles away, you can set off directly without asking me for instructions again."
Hei Te Changzhi held his hand, his eyes shining, full of hunger for battle.
After Hei Te Changzhi and Wu Youji left, Han Cheng said: "General, should we leave too?"
Wu Chengsi said slowly: "No hurry." He turned to Liu Shenli and asked: "How far away are the enemy troops from us?"
"The vanguard cavalry is less than fifteen miles away, and the main force should be twenty miles away." Liu Shenli replied solemnly.
Wu Chengsi nodded and sat down behind the case. The battle was approaching, but he felt unexpectedly calm inside, which made him both surprised and very satisfied.
In just a few months after arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he felt his own changes firsthand.
He became confident, and this confidence was slowly accumulated by solving cases one after another.
At this moment, he felt that every aspect of the entire battle situation was clearly flashing in his mind. Even if something went wrong in any aspect, he would be sure to respond quickly.
For the next half hour, Wu Chengsi sat behind the handsome case with his eyes closed to relax.
It wasn't until the soldiers came to report that the enemy's vanguard was approaching ten miles away and that Hei Te Changzhi had already led the army to set off, that Wu Chengsi opened his eyes.
When they came outside the camp, they saw that the infantry troops outside were ready to go. Wu Chengsi said loudly: "Send my general's order and all the troops will follow me to retreat to Mercy Ridge!"
After the military order was given, the army quickly moved into action.
After a while, Wu Chengsi led the army towards the "Mercy Ridge" southwest of the camp.
Han Cheng, Liu Shenli and six thousand infantry accompanied them, leaving only Wu Youji and his own three thousand cavalry.
The entire infantry was flying on the road, stirring up high dust. Liu Shenli followed on horseback beside the group and kept shouting: "Hurry! Hurry! Everyone, run!"
The movements of the Tang army were quickly reported to the vanguard of the Koryo army through scouts. There were only three thousand Koryo vanguard cavalry, led by Euljido.
Hearing from the scouts that the general of the Tang army had abandoned the camp and fled, leaving only three thousand cavalry behind to defend the enemy, Euljita almost burst out laughing.
"Brothers, this Tang army is frightened by us. Everyone, follow me and charge! Kill them all so that the Tang people will never dare to invade our land of Goryeo again!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and Julou interrupted: "Who was left by Wu Chengsi to block us?"
"He's a young general!"
Julou laughed and said, "Could it be that kid who was defeated by me in one move?"
Euljituo could still hold back and roared: "Come on! Kill all the Tang people!"
The group of people increased their speed and rushed towards the Tang army's camp. Not long after, they saw a cavalry formation in a distance, ready to go.
Seen from a distance, it actually looks quite powerful.
Euljituo was secretly shocked: "The Tang Army is indeed the Tang Army. It is led by a waste like Wu Chengsi, but it still has such power. How can it be done if it is replaced by a more capable general?"
I secretly made up my mind to take advantage of this rare opportunity to destroy this Tang army!
As the second bravest general of Goryeo, he likes to call for battle before the battle. Especially when he knows that the opponent's general will be instantly killed by a huge building, he has no scruples.
At that moment, the crowd came out and said loudly: "I am Euljida, the general of Goryeo. Who dares to fight with me?"
Wu Youji rode out and said loudly: "I'm here to meet you!"
Eulchituo was overjoyed and rushed forward with a mace in hand, intending to kill Wu Youji at once and then take advantage of the situation to cover up the Tang army!
Wu Youji stepped forward to meet him. Since his battle with Julou, he knew that he was young and weak and could not confront his opponent head-on, especially since Eulchito was probably more powerful than Julou.
Therefore, from the beginning, he made up his mind to focus on dodge.
However, after two rounds, Wu Youji was shocked and horrified. He thought he could hold on for a while if he didn't use his strength, but he didn't know that the opponent was stronger than he thought. Not only was he extremely powerful, but a mace was also
He wielded it like a spear and carried it as swiftly as the wind.
Wu Youji barely resisted for another round, and received several wounds on his face from the mace. Knowing that he would definitely die if he was hit again, he immediately turned around and fled towards his team.
The Tang troops under his command also turned their horses and turned around in unison, galloping forward as if they were chasing someone else.
Eulchito yelled: "Hurry up!" He was very angry. Wu Youji was knocked down by the giant building for a second, but he was hit three times. This made him lose face. He had to smash Wu Youji's head to relieve his hatred.
.
However, after chasing for a long time, Euljida's army could not catch up with the Tang army. This made him more aware of the gap between the Goryeo army and the Tang army, and he was very annoyed by the incompetence of his men.
Not long after, the Korean army chased them to Mercy Ridge. No one thought much and entered the valley.
Halfway up the mountainside on the right side of the valley, Wu Chengsi quietly looked at the Korean cavalry below.
On both sides of the valley, six thousand infantrymen of the Tang army were already ambushed. However, Wu Chengsi did not issue an attack order until the Korean cavalry came out of the valley.
His target was not this cavalry.
…
An hour later, Seng Xincheng led the army to the abandoned camp of the Tang army. Cui Ranfu also put on his armor at this time, led people to search, and reported back: "General, the Tang army left in a great hurry and did not bring many supplies with them.
Walk!"
Monk Xincheng smiled slightly, it has been a long time since the Koreans defeated the Tang army. After this battle, the momentum of the Korean army will be greatly boosted!
Thinking of this, he ordered: "Don't worry about these supplies. Send an order to General Eulji so that he doesn't have to chase after the Tang army. First, burn the pontoon bridge on the Liao River. Let's catch turtles in the jar again! No Tang army can even hope to go back alive!"
"
Cui Ranfu agreed and conveyed the order to a scout.
Monk Xincheng looked at the army behind him and said loudly: "Brothers, the day of the fall of the Tang Dynasty is now. We no longer need to maintain formation and pursue the Tang army as quickly as possible! Every time a Tang army general is killed, he will be rewarded with a thousand coins.
Whoever captures Wu Chengsi alive will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand coins, brothers, go for it!"
All the Korean soldiers roared together and ran towards Mercy Ridge.
Seeing that Seng Xincheng had no intention of going with the army, Cui Ranfu frowned and said: "General, the army is in such chaos, what should we do if we encounter the Tang army?"
Monk Xincheng said calmly: "The Tang army has become discouraged. At this time, it is a must-win situation. What we consider is no longer victory or defeat, but how many results we can achieve. The way to use troops is to adapt to changes, do you understand?"
Cui Ranfu responded in a low voice, but felt something was wrong in his heart.
Monk Xincheng changed the topic and said: "But what you said makes sense. The army must be restrained by someone. You immediately follow the army's command, restrain the army, and pursue it until dark and come back!"
Cui Ranfu took the order and left, while Monk Xincheng stayed in the Tang army's camp with several hundred soldiers.
After walking around the camp, Monk Xincheng found that the Tang army had indeed left a lot of supplies. Food and grass were second to none, but there were also a lot of ordnance. He was very satisfied.
After walking to the Tang Army commander's tent, Seng Xincheng suddenly frowned. The tent was not as luxurious as he had imagined, which made him very confused.
After scanning around the tent, Monk Xincheng's eyes rested on Wu Chengsi's wooden bed, and he thought to himself: "People in the Tang Dynasty were so rich, Wu Chengsi was a relative of the emperor, and his personality was extremely arrogant. Why would such a person sleep on it?"
On such a humble bed?"
Suddenly, he thought of something and shouted: "No, I've fallen into a trap!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently. Monk Xincheng, who had been in the military for a long time, immediately recognized the sound of cavalry.
Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be that Eulchita is back? No, isn't he following his orders to burn the pontoon bridge on the Liao River?
Monk Xincheng became even more uneasy. At this moment, there was another sound of fighting outside. Monk Xincheng was shocked and hurriedly left the camp.
The moment he opened the tent, he felt as if he had fallen into a valley of ice. Outside the tent was a Tang Army cavalry, led by a black-faced general. All his soldiers had been killed.
"What are you doing in our general's camp?" Hei Te Changzhi asked with cold eyes.
Monk Xincheng panted violently, his hands trembled slightly, he had fallen into Wu Chengsi's trick! Everything the Tang Army scout told was lies!
Hei Te Changzhi lifted Seng Xincheng's chin with his horse and grinned: "Could it be that you are the Goryeo general, Seng Xincheng?"
Monk Xincheng let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect that I fell into your trap."
Hei Te Changzhi raised his head and laughed loudly, yelling: "Tie me up and keep a close guard. The rest of you will follow me to Mercy Ridge!"
Hearing the words "Mercy Ridge", Monk Xincheng trembled all over again, thinking of the situation of the Goryeo army at the moment. If the Tang army set up an ambush at Mercy Ridge, the consequences would be terrible.
Monk Xincheng closed his eyes, feeling regretful and ready to die.
Two Tang soldiers expressionlessly tied his hands and feet and locked him in an empty camp tent.
