Great Tang princess

Chapter 257 Pei Xingjian's Strategy
Pei Xingjian didn't show off his tricks, picked up his teacup and said, "Turks like to rob grain trucks, so let them rob them once! What I mean is to prepare [-] grain trucks and use weak soldiers to pull them. Five people are hiding in each truck." A master in the army, let's do an anti-robbery..."

Listening to his explanation, Li Yuechen and Cheng Wuting looked at each other.

Cheng Wuting's eyes showed admiration, while Li Yuechen was a little puzzled.

The main reason is that her way of thinking is fundamentally different from that of people in this era. After receiving the influence of future TV dramas, all kinds of weird tactics emerge one after another, so this simple method makes her feel a little unreal.

But she knew this truth herself, so she didn't refute immediately, but asked instead: "Then it's only 500 people, so what if the other party has a lot of people?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will naturally send someone to follow. Besides, with the divine thunder in His Highness's hand, it will surely scare the other party to the ground. Once their morale collapses, no matter how many people there are, it will become a show..." Pei Xingjian said slowly Come.

Listening to his explanation, a picture gradually emerged in Li Yuechen's mind.

The opposite side rushed towards him in a mighty manner, and he took out the grenade and threw it out while chanting a spell.

After the explosion was triggered among the enemy troops, the opponents were chanting about the gods coming down to earth, and then fled...

Thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing is really possible in this era. After all, the ancients were very superstitious. Whether they are Han or Hu people, they all have various beliefs.

With the blessing of grenades, it is not impossible for 1000 people to chase tens of thousands of people.

So Li Yuechen nodded: "Okay, then follow what Pei Shangshu said!"

After all, she is only Pei Xingjian's deputy in this expedition, and his order should be given top priority.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Cheng Wu was rather dazed. He didn't know what the god thunder they were talking about. He was curious but didn't dare to ask.

After finalizing the plan, Pei Xingjian immediately sent someone to prepare. Before leaving, he suddenly asked, "Can the soldier in the army, Your Highness, be able to take on this task?"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "If it's an assassination or an infiltration operation, even if Pei Shangshu doesn't say anything, I will let them go. But they are really not good at fighting head-on. This time, let's choose experts from other armies."

After all, this kind of task is very special, not for ordinary soldiers. It must be a soldier with good enough physical fitness and relatively capable of fighting.

And they will also cooperate with each other. After all, if there are too many Turkic people, they must be able to hold out until Pei Xingjian's army behind them surrounds them.

……

The candidates were quickly finalized, a total of 500 people, all of whom were military experts, and all of them were tall and strong.

Such people can fit up to five people in an ordinary grain truck, and no more people can fit in.

Li Yuechen, Cheng Wuting, and Geng Yunqiang sat alone in the front carriage, instead of being buried in the grain and grass like other soldiers.

After making all the preparations, two days later, three hundred grain trucks lined up in a long line except for Yunzhou, and walked east along the Great Wall, making the illusion that they were going to transport grain to Youzhou.

Li Yuechen, Cheng Wuting and Geng Yunqiang sat in the front of the carriage. While feeling bored, they also asked Cheng Wuting about the customs and customs of Fengzhou.

Seeing the princess taking the initiative to chat with him, Cheng Wu couldn't help being a little excited, and chatted cautiously.

Now the princess's reputation in the Tang Dynasty is well known to everyone. If she can attract the attention of the princess, maybe she will have the opportunity to be transferred back to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so she won't have to continue to live and sleep on the border.

Cheng Wuting, who was thinking about how to make a good impression on the princess, heard that the princess took the initiative to find something to talk about, so he immediately started talking cautiously.

Li Yuechen listened quietly, feeling the difference between this era and the future from his words.

Fengzhou, called Baotou more than a thousand years later, is on the bank of the Yellow River, and Yinshan Mountain is just outside the door.

Perhaps because she saw that the princess liked to ask about various scenery, Cheng Wuting also began to focus on introducing the scenery.

For example, looking at Yinshan Mountain from afar, beyond Yinshan Mountain is the prairie or something...

Chatting and chatting, the whole morning passed, and when it was time to eat, everyone took out the mustard biscuits they had with them and ate them.

Li Yuechen took out his own bacon and shared some with Cheng Wuting. At the same time, he was also thinking that he could consider making this bacon into a kind of military ration in the future.

This thing can be stored for a long time. When troops are fighting outside, nutrition must be guaranteed. This can be taken into consideration.

At the same time, Li Yuechen had already considered letting them learn how to hunt. Although eating raw food was unavoidable in field battles, it was an emergency.

When it's over, let's teach the cooking class how to dig a smokeless stove, and then learn how to hunt by the way.

Although Li Yuechen is an environmentalist, people are more important than others.

……

In the carriage, Geng Yunqiang, who felt a little bored, couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, it's been three days, could it be that the other party didn't notice at all?"

In the blink of an eye, the grain trucks had been walking along the Great Wall for three days, during which time it was very quiet and there was no movement.

Li Yuechen leaned against the carriage, raised his hands behind his head, and lazily said: "Don't worry, it's coming soon!"

If the Turks can't find such a large grain transport team, then go home as soon as possible to wash and sleep.

Now that it is discovered, it is impossible not to do it, after all, the temptation is too great for Turks.

What's more, they won the war by robbing food and grass before. People always have habits. If they win once with a tactic, they will subconsciously use it a second time.

Not to mention that they actually won more than once. With the high mobility of cavalry, this method has always been tried and tested for Turks.

Just because I have won many times with this tactic, I will definitely continue to use it if I don't suffer a loss.

This is the conclusion Li Yuechen came to after bringing into the thinking mode of this era.

Man learns only when he is taught, and they have not been taught yet, so they will come!

……

Sure enough, just after noon, Niu Ermao, who was in charge of driving ahead, lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, there is a situation!"

He is equipped with a telescope in his hand, which is convenient for observing the situation in the distance.

"How many people?" Li Yuechen asked with his eyes closed.

"The number is estimated to be around [-]." Niu Ermao replied, "The Great Wall has not yet been crossed here, so they would not dare to dispatch on a large scale."

"3000 people...that is, there are [-] horses..." Li Yuechen smiled slightly, the wine on her face was faintly visible, she opened her eyes and looked at Cheng Wuting who was sitting opposite: "Are you sure you can keep them all?"

Cheng Wuting grinned, showing some yellowed teeth: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"

As he said that, he opened the curtain at the back and waved to the soldiers who were responsible for pulling.

When the soldiers received the signal, they immediately raised their hands and tapped lightly on the edge of the grain truck a few times. Upon hearing the signal, the soldiers who had been buried in the grain for three days also cheered up, and each of them clenched the horizontal knife in their hands.

……

Not long after, Li Yuechen and the others could already hear the sound of horseshoes, and Niu Ermao, who was in charge of the car, exploded in acting skills. He got out of the car and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Turks are coming!"

The soldiers pulling the carts gathered the grain trucks together one after another, then took up weapons and surrounded the grain trucks, facing the Turkic people who hadn't run over yet.

Although it seemed that there was still a long distance, let alone a few hundred meters, the speed of the horses was very fast, and more than [-] Turkic soldiers ran over in a mighty manner and surrounded the grain carts.

The soldiers held their shields and weapons solemnly, and looked at the Turkic soldiers who surrounded them with a little fear.

With trembling legs, Niu Ermao hid behind the soldiers, looking at the Turkic soldiers nervously.

Not many of these Turkic people wear armor, and even if they do, they don't fit very well.

They didn't have the craft of making armor themselves, and these armors were snatched after killing the Tang army.

Most Turkic people are wrapped in animal skins and have no iron armor.

But everyone has bows and arrows and scimitars, which are necessary weapons for Turks.

After enclosing the grain truck, these Turkic people talked to each other in Turkic, and even made fun of them from time to time.

Although the soldiers couldn't understand it, they could probably tell from the contemptuous expressions that it was definitely not a good thing.

At this moment, a man from the Turkic side suddenly came out and shouted in his half-baked Tang Yayan: "Listen, if you put down your weapons and armor and surrender, you can still live, otherwise, you will be killed on the spot." Kill here!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Niu Ermao who was trembling behind the soldiers: "You are the grain transport officer? How much grain are you transporting this time, and where are you transporting it?"

Niu Ermao didn't answer, but took a few steps back with trembling legs, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Get ready to fight, be careful not to defend!"

Seeing his appearance, the man on the opposite side translated his words in Turkic to the bearded Turkic leader in bright armor on the opposite side.

Then the Turkic people laughed out loud, as if they were laughing at his overreaching.

After laughing, the leader said a word, and most of the Turkic people got off their horses and walked straight over here.

The soldiers all clenched their weapons and prepared to fight, but the person in charge of the translation on the opposite side shouted: "If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot! Put down your weapons and save your life. Think about it yourself!"

And those Turkic people who got off their horses and walked over also pulled out the knives from their waists with contemptuous faces, apparently intending to kill people to gain power.

It has to be said that these Turkic people are generally taller and stronger than the Han people.It looked very oppressive.

At the same time, the man opposite who could speak Great Tang's elegant words got off his horse and walked straight to the carriage of Li Yuechen and others, as if he wanted to see if there was anyone hiding inside.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, he froze in place.

He fantasized that there might be someone inside, but he really didn't expect that it would be a woman!
This woman looked very young, at most fourteen or fifteen years old, and was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Although she was wearing a pure black armor and a red robe with only one sleeve outside the armor, he didn't pay attention to these, as if she was completely absorbed in that smile.

In this era, even ordinary women among the Han people would not be easy to see where to go, let alone the Turkic environment where the sun and the wind blow every day.

The skin of Turkic women is bronze, and most of them are rough in appearance and personality.

Suddenly seeing a fair-skinned woman made this person unable to react for a while.

The Turkic leader on the opposite side saw him suddenly froze, and shouted something in Turkic.

The man turned his head and was about to answer, but Li Yuechen suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar.

Before he could say a word, he saw a hand stretched out from inside the carriage and dragged him into the carriage.

The Turkic people on the opposite side were startled, and drew out their scimitars one after another, with vigilant expressions on their faces.

Li Yuechen opened the curtain with his helmet and jumped down, exposing his face to the air.

At this moment, almost all the Turkic soldiers turned their heads to look at her.

In this era, it is very difficult to see fair-skinned women in the mainland, let alone on the grasslands, so these Turkic people fell into a short-term stupor as if seeing a foreigner for the first time.

Li Yuechen even heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and several Turkic people even started to walk towards her.

But then the leader on the horse yelled a Turkic language, and looked warily at the armor on Li Yuechen and the helmet in her hand.

Li Yuechen's record in Tubo last year, after such a long period of fermentation, has basically spread to the surrounding areas.

Although the rumors may be a bit exaggerated, the outfit of the black armor and red robe plus the grimace mask fits the rumored image very well.

Looking at his eyes, Li Yuechen also knew that he was recognized, so he yelled before he could speak: "Do it!"

With a sound of "crash", the grain and grass on the grain transport truck were lifted into the air one after another, and the heavily armed soldiers inside rushed out, without any hesitation, the horizontal knife in their hands slashed at the Turkic soldiers not far in front of them!

All of a sudden, the whole scene became chaotic, and the Turkic soldiers who got off their horses quickly took out their scimitars and started to fight back.

However, despite their strong physical fitness, the Turkic people knew almost nothing about infantry battle formations. Before they could make a move, they were squeezed by several shields from around them, and then hacked to death with random knives.

Li Yuechen also put on his own helmet, turned his head and said, "Hongfeng!"

"Your Highness, continue!"

Geng Yunqiang, who jumped out of the carriage, threw the two hammers over with great effort.

After Li Yuechen took it in his hand, he rushed directly towards the nearest Turkic soldier in front of him.

When the soldiers on the opposite side saw the hammer in Li Yuechen's hand, which was much larger than ordinary size, they knew it was difficult to deal with. They instinctively turned around and ran, wanting to go back and ride their horses.

However, it was obviously too late, Li Yuechen chased him just before he turned around and took two steps, and then hit him on the head with a hammer.

With a muffled sound of "bang", a pile of red and white sticky matter was sprinkled on the ground and mixed with the soil.

Then Li Yuechen kept walking, and continued to rush towards the Turkic leader on the opposite horseback. The principle of capturing the thief first is the same as ever!
