Volume 1 First Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 58: Su Dingfang
"I'm sorry, brother!" Lu Chen glanced at the soldiers who were knocked unconscious and apologized silently in his heart. Although Liu Heitai was on Lu Chen's must-kill list, these soldiers are all farmers after all.
Of origin, many of those who were led by Liu Heitai to rebel were even captured young men. Lu Chen still could not kill these people.
Lu Chen now also knew where he was. The military camp that he thought was well-organized was not the camp where Su Dingfang was. Instead, the camp opposite this camp was where Su Dingfang was, and this was Liu Heitai's camp. Just now Lu Chen
The large tent where Chen is hiding is Liu Heitai's handsome tent.
Now that he was here, Lu Chen decided to recognize him first. Lu Chen tied up the soldier with his belt. At the same time, he cut a corner of the soldier's clothes, stuffed it into the soldier's mouth, and then moved the soldier to the fence.
Then he looked around and felt that nothing had been missed, and then he touched the back of Liu Heitai's handsome tent again.
Lu Chen used a paratrooper's knife to cut a hole in the curtain of the tent, and peeked inside. The whole tent was very tidy. On the armor shelf next to it was a set of gold-lacquered mountain armor, and the Phoenix-winged helmet was hung at the end of the armor shelf.
Above, the golden light was reflected by the candlelight in the tent.
A big man in robes was sitting on the wooden couch at this time, seeming to be thinking about something. According to Lu Chen's guess, if this big man stood up, he would be at least about 1.9 meters tall, with a strong back and a strong waist.
A man of great strength.
It's just that this person's face is not good, with two eyebrows, a straight nose, a wide mouth, and a beard under the chin. Looking at these parts alone, this person definitely has a heroic face. It's a pity that the entire face is covered by a pair of eagle eyes and
A scar on his right cheek was completely destroyed, giving this person a fierce look, and his eagle eyes always gave people a treacherous feeling.
"Hero!" Lu Chen's first impression of this person made Lu Chen unconsciously pop up this word in his mind.
At the same time, Lu Chen also remembered Liu Heitai's appearance deeply in his heart. As for what Liu Heitai was thinking about, it was not Lu Chen's concern. When Liu Heitai arrived outside Weizhou City, this guy would die.
Lu Chen quietly left Liu Heitai's tent. After figuring out the direction, he headed for the left camp where the soldiers said Su Dingfang was.
The so-called left camp is actually the military camp guarding the left side of Liu Heitai's camp. At this time, Lu Chen also understood why he left Liu Heitai's military camp. Apart from the orderly appearance of the troops, the other camps were a bit chaotic.
Because except for Liu Heitai's military camp, which was composed of pure soldiers, the other military camps were composed of soldiers and baggage carriers.
It is precisely because of this, and Liu Heitai's victory along the way, that the rebels were not very vigilant. Lu Chen easily entered the Zuo camp along the way and found Su Dingfang's location easily.
's tent.
Lu Chen repeated his old trick, still hiding in the shadow of the tent, using his paratrooper knife to open the curtain, and peeking into the tent.
Su Dingfang's tent was much smaller than Liu Heitai's. Like Liu Heitai's, Su Dingfang's tent was also brightly lit. The difference was that Liu Heitai was sitting alone in the tent, wondering what he was thinking.
, and there were four people in Su Dingfang's tent.
Naturally, the person sitting on the main seat is Su Dingfang, the ruthless man who will achieve the achievement of "destroying three kingdoms with one man" in the future. On the left and right of him are three people dressed as generals. These three people should be the generals under Su Dingfang now.
Official.
Lu Chen quietly looked at Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang was about thirty years old at this time. He had a white face and a slight beard, sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, red lips and white teeth. This face was full of masculinity and would be left to future generations.
The idol sect, wearing a green military uniform, sat down at the main seat.
"General, do you think we can capture Weizhou City this time?" Just as Lu Chen was sizing up Su Dingfang, the general on Su Dingfang's left asked Su Dingfang.
"Difficult!" Hearing the general's question, Su Dingfang shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack Weizhou City as smoothly as before!"
"Why? Now that we have a strong army and a hundred thousand soldiers, why can't we capture a mere Weizhou city?" A general on Su Dingfang's right said unconvinced.
"Liang Wen, I strongly disapprove of the general's attack on Weizhou City this time!" Su Dingfang turned to look at Liang Wen, who looked unconvinced, "You must know that Sun Tzu said: The first step is to attack with troops, the second is to attack, and the second is to attack.
Soldiers, then attack the city. The so-called siege means taking the lives of soldiers, not to mention, the general manager of Weizhou Tian Liuan is not comparable to the defenders of the previous cities!"
The sieges of this era did not have the heavy firepower of later generations. They were completely filled with the lives of soldiers, and the soldiers were like ants constantly snatching the city walls and gates. The siege force must be at least three times the defending force.
It is possible to succeed, but if you encounter a defender who is good at commanding battles, the difficulty of siege will definitely increase exponentially.
Tian Liuan, on the other hand, had been fighting with Li Tang since the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, and he had rich combat experience.
"But, general, according to the spies' reports, the defenders of Weizhou City only number more than ten thousand. Now we have an army of one hundred thousand, but the defenders are ten times larger. How can we still not capture Weizhou City?" Liang Wen was still a little unconvinced.
"We were able to capture those cities earlier because of the assistance of the Turkic cavalry, and even more so because of Jieli Khan's restraint on Li Tang in the north. Now that Jieli Khan has withdrawn his troops, we are now fighting alone! What's more, among these 100,000 troops,
, the farmers alone account for more than half, can we still drive the farmers to attack the city?" Su Dingfang was not dissatisfied with Liang Wen's dissatisfaction, but continued to analyze the current situation to his three generals.
"General, are we bound to lose this battle?" After hearing Su Dingfang's analysis, Liang Wen also stopped underestimating the enemy and became a little worried.
"If we can capture Weizhou City within ten days after we set off again, we still have a chance of survival, but according to the commander's current marching speed, it will be difficult! We can only hope that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can come to help later.
Weizhou City!" Su Dingfang couldn't help but look in the direction of Liu Heitai's camp, the worried look in his eyes flashed away, "What's more, even if we capture Weizhou City, behind Weizhou City, there is still Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women guarding Niangzi Pass.
, Our journey is really difficult!" Su Dingfang couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
"General, should we make plans early?" After hearing Su Dingfang's analysis, Liang Wen couldn't help but want to find out what Su Dingfang said.
"Eat the emperor's salary, be loyal to the emperor, do your best, and obey fate. What's more, I want to avenge my adoptive father. This general of Weizhou City cannot be opened!" Su Dingfang looked in the direction of Weizhou City with hatred in his eyes. The young man
At this time, Su Dingfang only had the thought of revenge against Li Tang.
"You all go down and make preparations!" At this time, Su Dingfang also lost interest in the conversation and signaled to the three generals that they could leave.
The three generals bowed in unison, saluted Su Dingfang, and then exited the camp.
Lu Chen, who had been outside the camp the whole time, heard Su Dingfang's analysis clearly.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the future military god of the Tang Dynasty. He has analyzed the overall situation thoroughly. Unfortunately, at this time, he has been dazzled by the desire for revenge!" Lu Chen sighed secretly in his heart,
Although Lu Chen knew that Liu Heitai's attack on Weizhou City would end in failure, and Su Dingfang would go into seclusion directly. He was not invited back to the mountain until Li Shimin ascended the throne. However, he remained silent for many years. After all, in this era when aristocratic families were in power, Su Dingfang
His background is his biggest shortcoming.
However, when I met Lu Chen, Lu Chen couldn't say anything to prevent this "Military God of the Tang Dynasty" from being reused. It would be a waste of natural resources.
But now Lu Chen can't go in to see Su Dingfang. After all, there are not only many patrol teams walking around outside Su Dingfang's camp, but also many stragglers walking around. If you don't pay attention, you can easily be discovered.
It's best to wait until it's late at night to go in.
Lu Chen quietly left the shadow of the camp, found a safe corner, and began to wait for time to pass.
Finally, as the watchman in the military camp rang the third watch, Lu Chen quietly came to Su Dingfang's camp again. At this time, in addition to the "cracking" sounds coming from the torches and braziers outside, there were patrols in the military camp.
The sound of the troops' footsteps was basically just snoring in other camps, and the military camp became much quieter.
Su Dingfang's tent was still brightly lit. Lu Chen looked into the tent through the gap left just now and found Su Dingfang sitting on the wooden couch, reading a book under the light of candlelight.
Lu Chen quietly walked towards the door of the camp. When he saw that there was no patrol watching here, Lu Chen entered Su Dingfang's camp in a flash. Su Dingfang was also instantly alert to Lu Chen's arrival and looked up directly.
Lu Chen.
"Who are you?" Su Dingfang shouted angrily, reaching out to touch the sword hanging on the left side of the wooden couch. Su Dingfang's voice also attracted the attention of the patrol, and suddenly the patrol's hurried footsteps got closer and closer.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, just when Su Dingfang reached out to take the sword, Lu Chen directly shot the sword's spike off, and Su Dingfang's hand that wanted to take the sword stopped in mid-air and turned his head.
He looked at Lu Chen with somewhat complicated eyes.
"General Su, I have no intention of taking your life, I just have something I want to talk to you about!" Lu Chen put away his pistol and looked at Su Dingfang with a smile on his face, while Su Dingfang stared at Lu Chen, who was dressed in a weird outfit.
After confirming whether what Lu Chen said was true or false, judging from Lu Chen's action of putting away the strange "hidden weapon", it seemed that Lu Chen did not intend to take his own life.
