Plans never change as fast as they do, which makes Li Zhen feel helpless - according to the planned plan, after capturing the camp of the ancient tribe of Beye, the troops should have been divided, except for Li Zhen who led a few soldiers and horses in the camp.
Many military flags were set up, and torches were used to think that the soldiers were not suspected. General Hou Guozhong led the main force of the cavalry to bypass the Shanyin Trail and take the Goosekou Pass to attack the enemy at Hukou. But what Li Zhen did not expect was that the camp was successfully captured, but the soldiers were divided.
It's incredible. Without him, too many were seized.
In a war, it is a good thing to have seizures, and there is a reason to reward soldiers, right? But too many seizures are also a big trouble - pulling out the ancient tribe is just like picking up rags, so greedy, it is simply
It's like moving the whole Kaiyang back to the grassland. I need everything and load it on the carriage. Oh, my goodness, hundreds of carts are loaded with junk, not to mention hundreds of quilts.
The young people of Tang Dynasty who were tied up behind the cart became stronger. It was obvious that the Ba Yegu tribe had packed up all the gains from the invasion of Tang Dynasty and would withdraw their troops soon. In this case, problems would arise.
Here we come - according to the customs of the prairie tribes, the purpose of fighting is for property and slaves. Li Zhen took away the people's lair, which made the Ba Yegu tribe send out troops in vain. According to the temperament of those prairie tribes
, how could he just give up and return to the army, and still risk his life with Li Zhen?
War is no joke, it relies on strength. Even though it took less than half an hour for the Tang Army's thousand cavalry to capture the Banye Ancient Camp, they also killed more than 5,000 people from the Banye Ancient Division.
The armor was removed, and they were in a state of embarrassment, but it was a sneak attack, not a serious head-on confrontation. If Ba Yegu really realized that there were not many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, then Ba Yegu would kill nearly ten thousand soldiers in Kaiyang City.
When Li Zhen came out, he had no choice but to run away. This is not a romance. The story of beating a hundred people is just a legend. It cannot be regarded as a real thing.
It was of no use for the time being, but it was a good idea to do the opposite - as soon as Li Zhen discovered the seizures, he immediately ordered that all the fires in the camp be put out: whether they were torches or burning tents,
Everyone remained silent, waiting for Ba Yegu to come to attack. The bet was that Ba Yegu would not dare to attack with all his strength without knowing the truth.
Obviously, Li Zhen made the right bet. Just when Ba Yetuo signaled his ten cavalrymen to enter the camp first to investigate, Li Zhen shouted: "Fire the arrow!" In an instant, Datang, who had been waiting in the dark for a long time,
The cavalrymen raised their bows and nocked arrows at the same time, and more than a thousand feathered arrows roared through the night sky like locusts, covering the unprepared Baye Tuobu, and shot down more than a hundred people in an instant, before Baye Tuo could understand.
What's going on, but suddenly shouts burst out from deep in the dark camp, nearly a thousand torches light up, and groups of Tang cavalry rush out from the camp. They were originally worried about the ambush of the Central Tang Army.
Tuo didn't dare to stay longer, so he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted: "Retreat! Escape quickly!" Without returning to the city, he followed the predetermined plan and fled along the road on the left side of the camp in the direction of Shenwu. The Tang cavalry
The army did not pursue them. When they saw the ancient tribe fleeing, they immediately turned back to the camp. After a while, the battlefield became quiet again. Except for the frequent deaths of the wounded and the whine of the war horses, there was no sound.
The sound next to it.
At the top of Kaiyang City, Quli looked at the more than a thousand cavalry under his command and fled without even fighting him. His heart went cold, and he shivered for a while, and then he realized that he was still naked.
, immediately sneezed hard, stamped his feet bitterly, and walked straight down the city. High Priest Nalong stared at the camp where the fire was gradually extinguishing for a long time, but he still could not tell the reality of the Tang army.
He shook his head helplessly, ordered the entire army to be on alert, and hurried back to the county government office in boredom.
"Hou Guozhong and Liu Tietao listen to the order: I, the king, will lead your army to set off immediately, and act according to the predetermined plan. We must seize the tiger's mouth before dawn the day after tomorrow." Just after repelling Ba Yetuo's tentative attack, Li Zhen did not
Without wasting any time, he immediately gathered all his generals together and issued combat orders.
"What? According to the predetermined plan?" As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Liu Tietao, the cavalry officer of Yanmen Pass who was cooperating with the battle, immediately shouted: "Your Highness, no, absolutely no, I will leave at this time. Your Highness will only have twenty relatives by his side."
Guard, what should we do if the Ba Ye Gu tribe attacks again?"
"It's okay." Li Zhen smiled and waved his hand and said: "Baye Gubu didn't have the guts to leave the city again. Well, that's good. The troops were ordered to put on the armor of Baye Gubu, and the replaced armor was left here.
, I have my own magical uses."
"Your Highness, those young men have no relevant training. They can just light a torch and shout a few times. If they are allowed to line up and practice, I am afraid it will be self-defeating. In the end, I am willing to use a battalion of soldiers and horses to kill the tiger's mouth. I hope the prince will give me permission."
"Hou Guozhong vaguely guessed Li Zhen's plan and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.
Haha, the little monkey is still somewhat capable. He can react so quickly, which should not be underestimated. Li Zhen's mind was moving quickly, but with a smile on his face he said: "It doesn't matter, I don't want those young and strong people.
Go fight. I have my own discretion on this matter. There is no need to discuss it again. Well, the tiger's mouth is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although there are not many defenders, you still have to put in more effort if you want to successfully capture it. A thousand men and horses have already
I am very nervous. If you keep more manpower with me, you will not be able to defend it even if you can capture it. Whether the main force of our army can capture Xue Yantuo's army depends on you. Haha, it is getting late. If we continue to delay,
It will be daybreak soon. Once the city notices your movements, let alone take down the tiger's mouth, this king will be in danger, so go ahead."
Seeing that Li Zhen had made up her mind, Hou and Liu did not dare to persuade him any more. They looked at each other, and each led his officers to retreat. They went to arrange to change their clothes and armor, and did not mention the wrapping of the horse's hooves. Li
Zhen strode out of the tent, looked up at the head of Kaiyang City in the distance that was brightly illuminated by torches, shrugged, and led the people straight to the back camp.
"Your Majesty." As soon as he saw Li Zhen coming out of the darkness, the young guard captain Li Ge, who was guarding the rescued young man, rushed forward and bowed in salute.
"Yes." Li Zhen nodded. Before he could say anything, he saw a commotion among the young people. A burly man squeezed out of the crowd and hurriedly ran towards Li Zhen. He was so shocked that
Li Zhen's personal guards rushed forward in a hurry, intending to capture this man.
"Let me go, let me go! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to say." The big man was pushed to the ground by Li Zhen's personal guards, struggling for his life, and kept shouting.
.
Huh? What does this kid want to do? Assassination? That's not possible! Li Zhen frowned, waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
The big man broke free from the control of the guards, stumbled to Li Zhen, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Your Majesty, my surname is Chen Mingliang, a local surname. Please let me join the army. I have been hunting since I was a child.
He can shoot a four-stone bow, please accept the younger one."
What? A four-stone bow? Haha, good guy, we are only good at playing a five-stone bow. This guy can shoot a four-stone bow, so that’s a rare commodity. Li Zhen’s heart moved, but she didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she frowned.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he said calmly: "Since you can shoot a four-stone bow, why didn't you help defend the city when Kaiyang City was besieged, eh?"
"Your Majesty, I did help defend the city, but when the city was destroyed, I was captured at the end of my strength. I want revenge. I beg your lord to be kind and take me in." Chen Liang kowtowed and said as if he was pounding garlic.
They all bled, and black and red blood trailed down their foreheads. Under the light of the torch, a face with a scruffy beard looked particularly ferocious.
Revenge? Haha, this is a reason. Li Zhen smiled calmly and said: "Revenge? What revenge do you have to avenge? Let me tell you."
Chen Liang burst into tears and said intermittently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my little one, my whole family of seven, all... Your Majesty, my little one wants revenge, Your Majesty..."
Well, when Chen Liang cried, all the hundreds of young men behind him began to cry. Everyone kept saying they wanted revenge, and everyone shouted that they wanted to join the army. It was really lively and noisy, and Li Zhen's head got big. According to Li Zhen's words,
The plan does require the use of these young men, but they will be put to good use. Li Zhen did not want them to serve as soldiers. Just kidding, the war is about to begin. Who has the guts to lead a group of untrained soldiers to the battlefield?
You said you were killing the enemy. If things go wrong, the general Li Zhen would have to be dragged down by the peasants. But facing a group of people who want to serve the country, refusing bluntly is not an option. You can't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
, had no choice but to wait until everyone was tired of shouting, and then said warmly: "It is a good thing that you all want to join the army, but the military is dangerous and dangerous. Only then can you escape the disaster. I really can't bear to have you suffer another disaster."
"Your Majesty, if the little one is not afraid of death, please give me a large number and accept the little one." Seeing that Li Zhen refused to agree, Chen Liang kowtowed desperately and begged in a pleading voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, just do your best. We and the barbarians are at odds with each other. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy!"
"Please, my lord."
…
A group of young men knelt all over the ground, and the sound of begging was so loud that Li Zhen was helpless. After thinking for a long time, he took a long breath and said: "Fathers, please get up. I will accept it."
…”
Before Li Zhen could finish her words, she was interrupted by the voices of hundreds of young men expressing their gratitude. Seeing that she might have to carry such a big burden, Li Zhen smiled bitterly and shook her head.
He started to say: "Be quiet, be quiet." After everyone calmed down, Li Zhen said calmly: "Since you have decided to join the army, you should all join the king's personal army. But there is one thing. From now on
Now, everything must be done according to the king's orders. If there is any violation, military law will be dealt with."
"yes."
"As commanded."
"good."
"agree."
Yes, a group of people responded at the top of their lungs. The voices were very loud, but they didn't speak in unison. They all answered their own questions. God knows how to lead these soldiers. Li Zhen didn't even have the strength to smile bitterly. He rolled his eyes and pressed his hands.
He said loudly: "All troops, listen to the order." After everyone calmed down, Li Zhen made arrangements in a calm voice... dd
