Chapter 91: Three thousand breaks twenty thousand (1)
In fact, under normal circumstances, the main function of a battle slogan is to expose the other party's crimes and allow one's own side to stand on the moral high ground. However, in addition to the above effects, Yuan Waqing's slogan is also endearing.
The effect of making enemies happy is that when he satirized Goguryeo in his appeal, he even said "I don't know the danger of guarding Yalu". When Goguryeo's great Moli Zhiyuan Nanjian couldn't help but clasp his hands and laugh when he saw the appeal,
With his forehead and hands he said in celebration that there is no perfect path for man, and then he bowed deeply to the inscription and said: "I sincerely obey my destiny."
Then Yuon Nanjian ordered the army that had retreated from Fu Yuchuan to defend the banks of the Yalu River. At the same time, he urgently summoned his brother Yuan Nanjian to lead an army of 10,000 to the banks of the Yalu River to defend the main force of the Tang army, and handed over the remaining soldiers to the leadership of Goguryeo general Yang Siqi.
Continue to complete the mission of chasing and annihilating the Sumo rebels.
It was not until this time that Li Ji finally learned the news. It turned out that the Sumo tribe in Mohe rebelled, and Yuan Nanchan led his army to suddenly leave to quell the rebellion. He did not know the news, and lost a good opportunity in vain. By the time he understood it, he was ready to march.
, but found that the Goguryeo army had deployed a large number of troops across the Yalu River, and it was very difficult for the Tang army to pass. At this time, Xue Rengui reported the news to him, saying that it was because of Tang Jun's message that he taught Yuan Nanjian to lead his army to guard the Yalu River.
It was so dangerous that Li Ji realized that it was Yuan Wanqing's memorandum that caused the trouble. He was immediately furious and explained the matter to Gaozong. Later, Gaozong used this matter as an excuse to send Yuan Wanqing to Lingnan.
But Li Ji didn't know that the Mohe rebels had not been put down. Yuan Nanchan led his army to attack for several days. Not only did he fail to capture a single rebel, but he lost more than a thousand people. Of these more than a thousand people, except for a few,
They were killed because they fell behind during the pursuit. Most of them were killed when the rebels used their riding and archery skills during the escape. Those rebels were extremely cunning. They shot arrows while escaping, and Ling Yuan was killed.
The vanguard of male births suffered considerable damage.
In Li Xian's words, this tactic is a combination of mobile warfare and annihilation warfare, that is, attacking and killing the enemy while escaping. After all, although the enemy's troops are large, if they run away, the formation will be chaotic. Li Xian
Xian Zai left sentries along the road. When he found a small group of enemy troops, he immediately responded and annihilated the small group before fleeing immediately. Fortunately, his army was followed by guides who had been in Goguryeo for a long time.
When walking around, I am familiar with the terrain of Goguryeo, so I won’t be as embarrassed as Baihegou.
A few days later, although Li Xian didn't know that Yuan Boyan had been transferred, he clearly found that the enemy's speed had slowed down and their morale had dropped a lot. He guessed that the enemy must have had an accident.
After Zhang Deyu and Xue Na discussed it for a while, they decided to test the enemy.
On this day, Li Xian's army unexpectedly did not break camp and leave after a night's rest. Instead, they vigorously built defense facilities, dug trenches, set up horse traps, blocked horses, antlers and other objects, and pretended to be ready to hold on.
This unusual behavior of Li Xian's army was naturally detected by the Goguryeo spies, and then reported to the general Yang Siqi. This Yang Siqi was the son of the famous Goguryeo general Yang Wanchun. He had been familiar with the art of war since he was a child and was quite famous in Goguryeo. However, due to his youth, he did not
How could he go through battles and lack experience, so he had been training under Yuan Nanchan. During this process, Yang Siqi came up with a lot of ideas, which enabled Yuan Nanchan to achieve some small victories, so Yuan Nanchan was quite fond of him.
Yi Zhong, who was recommended by Yuan Nanchan, was left to command the 20,000 troops this time.
When Yang Siqi heard that the Tang army was no longer escaping and was preparing to fight desperately, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He thought that the enemy must have despised Yuan Nanchan because they knew he had left, so they defended desperately.
"Huh, damn barbarian slave, how dare you despise me, Yang Siqi, you will definitely regret it this time!" Yang Siqi felt extremely angry and decided that he must do it beautifully this time and make everyone who despised him regret it.
.
Therefore, he very cautiously ordered another investigation. After reporting back, he learned that the rebels were still on guard in the camp. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately issued an order. The soldiers of the three armies rebelled on the first watch, set off on the second watch, and set off on the third watch.
It's time to encircle the enemy's camp. This time we must annihilate all the rebels.
At the second watch, Yang Siqi left only 2,000 old and weak men to guard the camp, and personally led 18,000 troops to attack the rebel camp. He was full of emotions and excited along the way, because he could finally lead an independent army.
The army has won a battle, and I believe that in a short time, I will be as famous as my father Yang Wanchun.
"The third watch has arrived, send, send the signal to attack." Yang Siqi suppressed his excitement, and finally waited until the third watch, then took a deep breath and gently issued the order, but because of the maneuver in his heart, he couldn't control himself.
, even he stuttered a bit when he spoke.
Seeing this, the messengers around Yang Siqi quickly issued the signal to attack. They raised the torch and waved it around a few times. In an instant, they saw the flames bright and the sound of killing loud. Eighteen thousand troops marched from four camps.
They launched attacks in the direction of the Chinese army.
"Huh? No, I fell into the traitor's plan." Not long after he rushed into the camp, Yang Siqi felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, because he did not encounter any resistance during his charge, and there was no one in the camp quietly.
One man couldn't help but panic, and quickly ordered the army to turn back.
However, in order to encourage the soldiers to advance rather than retreat, Yang Siqi ordered the messengers to place the signal horns used for retreating troops in the camp and did not bring them with them. Therefore, not to mention the soldiers in the other three areas, he himself commanded them.
The army along the way did not hear the order to retreat at night. Only the guards and messengers around him heard it, but what was the use? The army behind him and the surrounding guards were hugging him and heading towards the Chinese army.
Go.
And when all the troops gathered together, Yang Siqi realized that he had made a false alarm. It turned out that there was no enemy ambush here, but what they were attacking was actually an empty camp.
"This damn barbarian actually knows how to use the empty city strategy. Fortunately, the general had the foresight and didn't fall into his plan." Yang Siqi couldn't help but feel proud and said with a smile.
This is when a general stepped forward and said: "General, you think too highly of these barbarians. They must have known that we were coming, so they fled without even having time to break camp."
Yang Siqi laughed immediately when he heard this, patted the general and said: "General Gao's words make sense. Those thieves are very cunning. Although they dare not fight with us, they must have guessed that our army is going to attack their camp."
, so we just escaped overnight, but the thieves were kind-hearted and actually gave us a complete military camp. In this case, I would be disrespectful. Soldiers, we will stay in this camp tonight to avoid running away again.
One trip." Although Yang Siqi was a little annoyed that he didn't kill the traitor, no matter what, he could still be considered a big victory. Coupled with the flattery of the general named Gao, he was also very proud.
, and then ordered the army to rest early.
However, this Yang Siqi is not without merit. Although he is a little cowardly and a little overjoyed, he is more cautious in doing things. Although he is convinced that the rebels have escaped, he is also afraid that the rebels will come back to carry out a sneak attack, so he ordered to strengthen the watch, especially
The sentries who keep vigil outside must be cautious and must not be careless in the slightest.
However, Yang Siqi missed one thing: whether the enemy troops would be hiding inside the camp, especially in some hidden underground areas. Digging underground holes was Li Xian's best skill. It was this omission that
In the end, he suffered a huge defeat.
At the fourth watch, except for the sentries who were cautiously on duty outside, Yang Siqi and his soldiers all fell asleep. At this moment, there was a slight movement in the Chinese army tent where Yang Siqi was.
The ordinary-looking felt tent was opened, revealing a large hole five feet square. Then a man jumped up and jumped out of the hole. Then he saw the man gently stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed the sleeping man in the tent.
The other hand covered the sleeping person's mouth. Then the sleeping person woke up and struggled desperately to get rid of the person's hands, but the person's hands were like iron. He
How could he break free? There was only a crisp sound, and the person sleeping in the tent died before he could say a word.
At this time, a guard on duty outside the tent suddenly heard a muffled groan coming from inside the tent. He quickly came in to check and saw a man standing inside the tent, and at his feet was a lifeless corpse.
"General Gao!" The guard couldn't help but be frightened when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin."
But before he could speak, he saw the man standing in the tent rushing over, covering his mouth with one hand, and pinching his throat gently with two fingers of the other hand.
The guard was dead.
The master who killed two people in a row was naturally Li Xian. He was originally going to hide in the main camp tent, but suddenly came out to kill the enemy general in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect that he only killed a partial general. He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, secretly.
Sighing that the enemy general was so lucky that he escaped this disaster.
However, Li Xian was not discouraged. He quickly put on the armor of the general, then waited for the others to walk out of the cave, came to the big tent, opened the tent again, and walked out of the central military tent.
Because he could not see clearly in the middle of the night, the guard on duty did not see that Li Xian was a fake and even greeted him. Li Xian waved the guards outside the tent into the tent, and then talked with his soldiers
They acted together and beheaded the guards before they could react.
"Now there are no enemy guards near the commander's tent. Now you all take action immediately. This time you must completely disrupt the entire enemy camp." Li Xian had a hint of excitement on his face and issued the order in a low voice. This chapter has been completed!
