Chapter 20: The Battle of Youzhou (4)

 Wu Zang Qingxiang lay on a carriage with a tired look, and fell asleep for a while. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in his ears, and he suddenly sat up with excitement.

"Grandpa?" Wu Zang Jie Ming opened the curtain with a worried look on his face.

"It turned out to be a dream." Mei Zangqingxiang smiled helplessly and jumped to the ground with the help of her son.

It's completely dark now.

There was silence all around, and darkness shrouded the earth. Many torches were lit in the camp, which slightly dispersed the darkness. The soldiers of the Zangbu Department held their swords and guns tightly, and looked around with wide eyes. At the slightest sign of trouble, they would become nervous.

He screamed so hard that other people who were resting couldn't get a sound sleep, and they were extremely tired.

Wu Zang Qingxiang has long been aware of this problem, but he has no choice. After all, they are all mountain people, and few of them are serious sergeants. Although they are fierce, they have too little experience, and most of them are fighting between tribes.

, I have never seen a big scene. If I can become the governor of a state like Tuoba Sigong, or even the governor of the army, learn the Chinese system, train the army according to the Chinese law, and have Chinese armor

, equipment, given time, will be able to train a strong army.

Compared with the Han people, those people in the tribe are hard-working and don't have to worry so much. They can do whatever the leader tells them to do. They are all good soldiers!

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity. The Tuoba family was originally the closest to this opportunity, but now they are in dire straits. They are besieged by the 30,000-strong army of Shao Shude, the commander of the Dingnan Army. They dare not fight and cannot leave. This situation

,well!

"Jie Ming, where are you now?" Wu Zang Qingxiang took out the dry food and asked while eating.

"We just passed Baijing garrison and walked less than ten miles," said Mu Zang Jie Ming.

"It only took a few days to travel thirty miles..." Wu Zang Qingxiang frowned and said: "Shao Thief has too many cavalry and pawns everywhere. But they don't want to have a good fight, and they just harass the surroundings.

They are all courageous people."

Wu Zang Jie Ming said nothing. Of course he understood that his father was emboldening him. If they were not afraid of Shao Thief's cavalry, everyone could just lie down and sleep now. Why should they be so nervous? In fact, Li Abe, who set off with them

Already dispersed, more than 500 people were harassed day and night by the cavalry. The whole army was extremely tired. Finally, they were approached accidentally and more than 500 people were cut to pieces. If it weren't for others,

If everyone desperately rescues them, more than 500 people will probably die, instead of being able to rescue more than 200 people.

From then on, Wu Zang Qingxiang ordered all the ministries to stay close together, cover each other, and advance alternately. But this was really tiring. They couldn't walk very far, so everyone had to stop and rest. I didn't know if they could make it in one day.

Move forward seven or eight miles.

At night, there was no rest. Wu Zang Qingxiang could imagine that Shao Thief's cavalry must have been divided into many groups, with hundreds of people in one group, taking turns to rest and sleep, and always maintained a high intensity of harassment to them, no matter during the day

It's still night.

Even if they set up camp, they cannot rest peacefully and must always be vigilant against their night attacks. No matter how hard the mountain people work, they feel a little war-weary at this time, because it is too frustrating to have to be beaten passively and not be able to fight back.

"Grandpa, this battle can't be fought." Mu Zang Jie Ming said: "They have horses, so they can find a safe place to sleep far away. It won't take much time to catch up after they have rested enough. But here we are

They are all infantry and there are not many vehicles. What should we do? There is no way to fight!"

"The Tuoba clan didn't send any cavalry to meet us, so they definitely didn't dare to come out. Even if they dared to come out, God knows how many cavalry the Shao thieves have, and it's hard to say whether they can beat us. Without cavalry cover, we can only rely on four to five thousand of us.

The infantry is to die." Wu Zang Jie Ming continued: "Master, it's too late to retreat now. First retreat to the south of Baijing garrison and find a stronghold to rest. I don't believe Shao Thief's cavalry can still chase them up the mountain.

Come, I will definitely give them a good look when the time comes and let them know who is the real master of Hengshan!"

"But we have already sent out troops. The Shao thief knows our relationship with the Tuoba clan. How can he let us go in the future?" Wu Zang Qingxiang sighed. It seems that marrying his daughter to Tuoba Renfu was a mistake. It is equivalent to

If you stand on the stage, you will inevitably be liquidated in the future. Ye Li Jingchen, a dignified chieftain, ended up giving his daughter to Shao Thief as a maid. He was ridiculed by himself at first, but now it seems that he may not

It's a bad thing.

If the Muzobu is liquidated in the future, will Noribu also be involved?

"Grandpa, do we still have to go to Youzhou?" Wu Zang Jieming sighed. Since his father has made up his mind, there is nothing more to say. If the thousands of people from Wu Zang tribe die together, it's better to die together.

Come on, let Shao Thief see that we are not cowards, but warriors who dare to fight!

"No, go back to the mountain." Wu Zang Qingxiang said: "As long as the strength is still there, there is still a chance to turn around. When the strength is gone, there is really nothing, and then they will definitely be liquidated. These thousands of people

, you must take it back!”

"It is clear that Shao Shude is a hero and will not pursue him just because of a trivial matter. As long as we are more respectful and pay tribute to Xiazhou, we may not be targeted by him. Because we still have strength and can be used by him.

Whether you understand this truth or not, in short, we have to take these thousands of people back completely. If it doesn’t work, just demote Shao Shude. He won’t do anything to us, and maybe he will comfort us with gentle words.

Give him a reward. What he has to deal with now is the Tuoba clan. As long as we return to the mountain, everything will be easy." Wu Zang Qingxiang seemed to have made up his mind and was not sloppy at all: "Have a good rest tonight and send someone to fight with you tomorrow.

Contact people from Shao Shude and see what they say."

Wu Zang Jie Ming never expected that his father would have this idea. Thinking about it carefully, it may not be a solution!

These days, you really have to rely on your strength. You can vote for the Tuoba clan, or of course you can vote for the Shaw clan. It seems that the Tuoba clan is not going to make it, so you have to decisively change the family.

What a pity for my sister, alas!

Wu Zang Jie Ming thought of the time he took his sister to play around in the mountains when he was a child, and felt sad. It was a miserable life on the mountain, and it was also a miserable life down the mountain. His sister actually had no chance to enjoy wealth in her life.

This world!

****

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Feather arrows were flying around, and the sound of killing outside the camp was loud.

"Go back and sleep!" Lu Huaizhong walked to a tent and drove back more than a dozen soldiers who were looking around.

When the enemy attacks the camp, the army has its own laws.

After nightfall, scouts were set up on each side, and one person led several horses and went out to camp more than ten miles away to prepare for emergencies. If there was an emergency, they galloped to report to the army and would not pull back even if it rained or snowed.

A group of thieves rushed to the front of the camp. At night, the camp sergeants beat drums, and the backup sergeants stood up, put on their armor, and held weapons. The other camps stayed still and shot at anyone who walked away to maintain order in the camp.

If there are more intruders, the Chinese army will send troops to rescue them. However, considering that the enemy troops who steal the camp often shout and bluff, at this time, the generals on night watch must be experienced and ready to judge whether the enemy troops are bluffing or really bluffing.

A lot of people came.

There are many other methods, such as building a small village 20 to 30 steps outside each camp and stationing fifty people to guard it. For example, setting up dark bunkers outside the rebel camp (or city) at night can be used when the enemy must attack the camp.

There are night shelters near the road, and there are many ways to do it.

The Dingnan Army is an army of disciplines, and all the rules and regulations are summed up over time in the army. Shao Shude manages the army very strictly, and the laws are strictly enforced. Although it seems very troublesome, after a long time, everyone has adapted to it.

Trouble is a little troublesome, but insurance isn’t?

The Tuoba family's stolen camp was discovered by the Anpu from the beginning, and then the rangers also returned to the camp to report the news. When they arrived near the camp out of breath, Shao Shude ordered the backup sergeants to get up, and the rest continued

Anyone who dares to shout and move while sleeping will be shot immediately.

Because they did not stay in this camp for one night and then leave, it was a standard method of digging trenches. A trench was dug outside the camp, with a bottom width of one foot and two feet, a mouth width of one foot and five feet, and a depth of one foot.

The soil was beaten inward to form a wall, four feet five inches high, compacted, and unable to collapse in a hurry.

The trenches were only equipped with bridges and trench gates at the access points, which had been removed when the message from the rangers was heard. A number of horse traps were also dug within a radius of 25 steps outside the trenches, and three antler guns were placed in each trench.

There is a layer of thorns on the inside, a war tower at the back, and a number of archers.

As long as you don't neglect your duties and follow the rules strictly, you will basically make no mistakes. Those who are successfully stolen from the camp often have problems of one kind or another. After all, war is a battle between people, and you don't follow the rules.

Come on, ignore the rules, be lazy and slippery, and take chances, and you will suffer big losses one day.

The Dingnan Army was very disciplined. No matter how complicated it was, the officers used whips to teach the soldiers not to be lazy. Therefore, when the Tuoba clan's carefully selected elite attackers rushed near the camp, they were greeted by precise

Incomparable arrows, as well as various defensive methods that are difficult to trap and deceive.

Tuoba Sizhong, who led the team, was furious and a little flustered.

Three thousand elite soldiers were dispatched to the city, all of whom were veterans of the Tuoba family and were semi-professional warriors. They had just attacked a wave, but before they could cross the trench, they suffered more than 200 casualties, so they had to retreat.

Tuoba Sizhong didn't want to work in vain, so he sent people to attack twice in succession.

They braved the rain of arrows, bypassed the horse trap, rushed towards the ditch, and bravely climbed over without fear of death. In the end, they failed both times, and another four to five hundred people were left behind.

Seven hundred elite soldiers were lost in the three attacks. In fact, not many died on the spot. But the injured were lying in the horse pit, lying in the trench, lying on the thorns. It was basically impossible to go back. And if you couldn't go back, that would be the same as death.

What's the difference? After dawn, the auxiliary soldiers came out and rewarded each with a sword. All their efforts were in vain. They didn't even have to wait until dawn. At this time, they and the archers upstairs could lock in their achievements in advance and they wouldn't move.

A living target, easy and comfortable to shoot.

Stealing the camp turned into a strong attack, and the strong attack could not even touch the camp walls. This battle was frustrating.

Before setting off, Tuoba Sizhong even imagined the best scenario: a sudden attack on the camp, and the Dingnan Army was in chaos. They took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the Dingnan Army was in chaos. They took advantage of the situation to prevent fire, and the Dingnan Army was panicked and had no fighting spirit.

, fled one after another, and then they took advantage of the situation to cover up and behead thousands or even more than ten thousand!

But reality slapped him hard. Most of the sergeants of the disaster-ridden army were even ordered to go back to the camp to continue sleeping, and were not allowed to make any noise and move around at will. Then, with the two troops on duty and backup, they were unable to even break through the perimeter.

.

The book of war says: Attack at night with fine cavalry and strong troops. If you take advantage of the situation without causing chaos, attack and become more peaceful, the generals will not be frightened, and the walls of the camp will remain as they were, then the law will be strict and the preparations will be thorough, and this will be a strong army.

Is the gap between the Jizhi Army and professional warriors really so big? Or is the Difficulty Army particularly powerful? He remembered that the Xing Ning Army was not so rigorous.

"Withdraw!" Tuoba Sizhong finally gave the order reluctantly. He was no longer in the mood to tell which army was more powerful. He only knew that he had lost, and his brother was probably also defeated, and he felt very depressed.
