The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 803 790 II: The army moved to Beishan Pass, the king discussed the strategy of defeating the enemy

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I mean brother! You must always remember in the future that the army must be strictly governed!

If there is no strict discipline, this army will not be able to win battles for a lifetime.

If Zhang's Zhang Tianwang, Li's Li Bawang, can you still get this army!

Once this military discipline is abolished, no matter how many troops there are, it will be useless!

Whether you can win a battle, one depends on military discipline, and the other depends on the morale of the army. Neither of these two conditions will work!

You have led the army for a long time, and you will understand this truth.

Brother, let's go, let's go back to the big tent to drink and eat meat! "

Songtsan Uza grinned when he heard this.

"Why, Brother Wuji, are you kidding me!

You also know that just now I bragged about my father in front of all the generals in the camp. If I don't show some real skills, I will be ashamed and embarrassing! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Brother, you are right to think so, as the chief general in this army, you have to worry about it all the time, and be good at everything!

If you don't have that kind of thinking, how can you win the battle! "

Songtsan Uza nodded.

"Hmm! That's really what you said!

Why!I said Brother Wuji, I want to ask you a question, you have to come back to me truthfully! "

"Oh? What's the problem? Tell me and listen!"

"This time I led the troops out of the customs to fight that Pu Tashi. If that old boy can't beat me, what should he do if he wants to negotiate with me?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"What is there to negotiate with those traitors?

The best way is to eliminate them completely!
Let me tell you, if I commanded the troops, I wouldn't even give them a chance to surrender!

I will completely destroy them all! "

"If you are like you, aren't you afraid that the opponent's army will die against you?

Don't you understand the truth that mourning soldiers must win! "

"What are you talking about! If he wants to surrender, I think it must be a tactic, at least a tactic to delay the attack.

He has a plan, we also have a plan!

We can give them a surprise attack while their minds are paralyzed.

Let's kill them all, isn't that the end of the matter! "

Songtsan Uza stuck out his tongue.

"My God! Brother Wuji, you are too cruel, right?

Have you killed so many people?

Hey, I said Brother Wuji, does your country have a record of killing prisoners of war? "

"Yes, why not?

In the records of our country, when Qin State unified the world, Bai Qi once killed 40 Zhao State prisoners of war.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Overlord of Chu once killed 20 soldiers from the State of Qin.

This is written in the history books of our country, I am not kidding you! "

Songtsan Uza laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Wuji, I understand what you mean, come down and read mine!
If you want to go back to the big account, go back!

I'd better go around my barracks and talk about it! "

"Well! Then you turn around!
We both went back to the barracks.

If you have time, let's chat together again. "

When the two returned to the treasure tent of the Chinese army, they saw that everyone was still drinking!
When the generals saw Duan Wuji and the others came back, they all pulled them to sit down and drink.

After Duan Wuji and the others took their seats, they drank two bowls of kumiss, and then went back to their big tent to practice their internal skills.

A day has passed like that.

In the morning of the next day, the old king led his generals, escorted more than 3 prisoners, and returned to the capital with the captured horses and weapons.

After arriving in the capital, the knives and guns were put into storage in time, and the horses were put into the horse farm outside the capital.

The old king reorganized these prisoners of war, and then sent personnel to retrain them. After three months, these prisoners became the old king's army again.

During this period of time, good news came from the southern front from time to time. Songtsan Uza led the army to attack the city continuously, and the whole situation was changing in a direction that was beneficial to the Turpan Dynasty.

Those who used to have a bad opinion of the dynasty also gradually changed their views of the dynasty, and regained their confidence in the continuation of the dynasty.

This backward dynasty has the hope of continuing.

During this period of time, the old king wanted to send troops to the northern border several times, but was dissuaded by Duan Wuji. The reason was that these soldiers were not well trained and could not win the battle yet!

Now the weather is also cold, and the whole plateau has entered the slow winter again.

During this period of time, Duan Wuji and Tieniu helped the old king train the army almost every day!

After such a long period of training, a capable cavalry team has gradually formed.

When the first snow fell in the royal city, when the old king proposed to send troops again, Duan Wuji finally nodded in agreement.

After repeated discussions with the old king, the old king finally decided to order Tieniu to lead [-] cavalry to Xishan Pass to help Chai Shao and the others to quell the anti-kings in the west.

The old king and Duan Wuji personally commanded [-] cavalrymen to go straight to the north mountain pass.

These two groups of armies attack together, and they have great ambitions to wipe out these two groups of anti-kings immediately!

The eldest prince Songtsan Gampo was overjoyed when he received the news that the old king had personally marched north.

For so many days, the eldest prince, Songtsan Gampo, can be said to be undressed, working hard!

I'm afraid that there will be a mistake in this North Mountain Pass, which will cause the dynasty to lose its last barrier!

Over the past few days, the eldest prince can be said to have worked so hard, he has done everything himself!

Afraid that something might have gone wrong, now that he finally got the news that his father is going to send troops, do you think he can't be happy from the bottom of his heart!

The capital of the Tufan Kingdom is only more than 200 miles away from the mountain pass in the north. For the cavalry of the brigade, it will take less than a day to arrive.

The main generals in the army led by the eldest prince Songtsan Gampo came out.

When Duan Wuji saw Songtsan Gampo's appearance, he was overjoyed.

"I said big prince, why do you look like this now? You don't look like a big prince! You clearly look like a beggar."

The eldest prince's clothes were greasy and greasy, and his face was full of exhaustion.

Songtsan Gampo grinned when he heard this.

"I said brother, don't laugh at me anymore. You are busy with military affairs all day, how can you care about these trivial matters?
Oh, you don't know!

I've been so busy all day.

I am guarding the North Mountain Pass, which means that there are few soldiers and there will be few.

Once you are not careful, there is a danger of losing the pass!

What do you think I can do about this?

Brother, I'm relieved when you come, who doesn't know!

You are a resourceful man, extremely brave and warlike!

With you here, brother, I don't think we will be invincible in this battle.

You see that you have brought so many elite soldiers here at once, if this battle cannot be won again, then there is really no reason for it. "

When the old Wang Guo saw his eldest prince like this, he felt very distressed.

"My lord, since we're here, then you and your soldiers should retreat, you should rest for a few days, and then we can discuss the military situation!

Let me tell you, this time we brought over [-] soldiers, plus your [-] guards, we now have [-] people!

If there are a little more of them than us now, but that's not much more!

When you are all tired and come, we will start a decisive battle with them immediately!

This battle has been going on for a long time, and it has been more than a year now.

If you don't settle this matter anymore, when will this be a boss! "

"Father, you brought so many troops here at once, why didn't your old man send some reinforcements to the West Mountain Pass?"

The old king laughed out loud.

"My lord, how do you know that I didn't send troops to the Xishan Pass?
Let me tell you, the elite soldiers I sent to Xishankou this time are also [-].

That army is commanded by Tie Niu!This time we advance together from the west and the north, and we strive to win both armies. "

Songtsan Gampo was shocked when he heard this.

"Father, when did your old man recruit so many troops?"

The old king grinned.

"These troops are all surrendered soldiers when Wuji and the others went south.

We have trained them in the capital for several months, and this is not the time to bring them to the battlefield.

With so many people, if we want to recruit troops, it will be impossible to organize such a large army in less than a year.

That bastard Pu Tashi, I don't know how much effort he spent organizing such an army!

Damn, he hasn't used it much yet, this army is taking advantage of me.

That old boy never dreamed that he would take advantage of me after spending a long time.

Wang Er, let's stop talking nonsense. "

Hurry up and switch between your army and my army.

Withdraw your army to this pass, find a place to rest well, my army will guard this pass in the next few days! "

Songtsan Gampo was overjoyed when he heard this.

Immediately went to shut down and mobilize his army, and then Duan Wuji led the army to take over the defense.

Everything was handed over very smoothly, and the time was not too long, Duan Wuji took over all the defense.

Songtsan Gampo found a place outside the pass and set up camp. These people have been resting here for more than half a month!

After more than half a month of rest, these people finally got over their exhaustion completely.

Morale in the army has returned to its peak.

At this time, another excellent battle report came from the south.

Songtsan Uza wiped out Pu Tashi's remnants of rebellion in a place called a stone.

The anti-king leader Pu Tashi and his family members were all beheaded and executed.

More than a dozen human heads were packed in wooden boxes by Songtsan Uza and sent over.

After the old king saw it, he ordered the soldiers to hang the dozens of heads on high poles for public display for three days!

Three days later, the dozens of human heads could be thrown into the ravine to feed the wolves.

The big serf owner Pu Tashi ended up in such a tragic end. Not only was he killed, but none of his family members escaped!

This is called good and evil will be rewarded in the end, don't fight to come early or late.

All the soldiers in the battalion were greatly encouraged when they got the news that southern Xinjiang had calmed down!

The morale of the army suddenly rose.

Two days later, good news came from Xishankou.

Tieniu and Chai Shao each led an elite soldier to surprise the anti-king in the west. They killed [-] enemy soldiers, captured [-] prisoners, and gained countless swords, guns, and horses.

The good news is one after another!

The old king was a little carried away with joy.

The old king thought about it, and now the news of the two victories is coming out frequently, and the news of the victory is one after another!

Now this Beishan Pass has not won any victories, so it won't work if it goes on like this.

The lonely king sits here personally, if there is no good news from me, where can I put my face?

no!In any case, I have to convene a military meeting in the near future to discuss fighting the enemy.

Now that the south has been defeated, the military forces there are also idle.

If we can't defeat the anti-king in the north with our current strength, we can mobilize troops from the south to attack him together.

I don't believe it's impossible to win.

The old king is also short-tempered, that is to say, act as soon as he says action!

The old king immediately summoned all the generals in the battalion, and held a military meeting in the large tent of the Chinese army where all the generals at all levels participated.

The old king glanced at the generals and said: "Generals, you also know recently that good news has come from both the south mountain pass and the west mountain pass, and they have achieved great victories in those two places.

The anti-kings in southern Xinjiang have been wiped out.

Didn't you see a few days ago that the heads of the anti-king and his relatives have been hung on high poles for public display.

Tieniu and Chai Shao from Xishankou, they also won a major victory.

They killed a total of [-] enemies, and captured thousands of enemies.

I'm afraid you have heard of this matter before, right?

Right now it's our Beishankou, and we haven't made any progress at all!

Dear generals, I called you together today to discuss with you, when shall we fight to the death with the anti-king in the north? "

The generals listened, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first to speak.

The old king glanced at Duan Wuji and said: "I said Wuji, what's wrong with you these days? Why don't you talk about the war anymore?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, you don't know! These days, our Han family celebrates the New Year. Because of this New Year, I am not in the mood to discuss these things!

It is today, which happens to be the twelfth day of the first lunar month in our Han family. Two days later, it will be the Lantern Festival in our Han family.

I always think that killing people with a sword is not very festive during the Chinese New Year!

Therefore, I plan to go to war with them after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Aren't they just 6 to [-] people? In this icy and snowy place, let them live for two more days. Why are you so anxious about this matter!

We are land tigers now, and we have no shortage of food and grass, so what are we afraid of spending a few more days! "

The old king blinked his eyes.

"Oh! So it is!

I can't blame you for not fighting wars these days!It turns out that you are celebrating the New Year!

The New Year’s Eve in your place is not quite the same as ours, it’s still two months away!
In more than a month, the New Year in our place will come. I didn't expect that the New Year in your place has already passed for more than ten days.

Promise!Then when do you plan to fight them decisively! "

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. When you are about to celebrate the Chinese New Year, let's make a surprise attack on them, which can greatly reduce our casualties!
Let's fight for a battle to completely eliminate them, do you think this will work? "

The old king nodded.

"Well! That's fine! If you attack them during the festival, it will indeed greatly reduce the number of casualties!

Generals, can you take a look at this matter? "

All the generals replied in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, we all follow your arrangement."

"That's good! Then let's delay this war for a while longer!

When the festival is over, we will launch a surprise attack on them again.

Let's fight for a fight to praise them! "
