Dajin royal family

Chapter 129 Decoy

The entire land of Shanxi is shrouded in the Taihang Mountains, where large and small mountains criss-cross.In the north of Fenyang County in Taiyuan County and south of Xiurong County in Loufan County, there is a small mountain range split from the Taihang Mountains, which is called Xizhou Mountain by the locals.This small mountain range is also the natural dividing line separating Taiyuan County and Loufan County.

There is only one narrow mountain road in this mountain range that can go directly to Taiyuan County, and this is where Jiang Chengxiao asked General Zhao to defend.General Zhao's name is Zhao Jiao, and he was born in the Zhao family of Xindu County, which can be regarded as a well-known local family.Therefore, compared with General Xue, his knowledge is far superior to the latter.

Although he hadn't been in contact with that Jiang Hussar for a long time, judging from his conversation, strategic analysis, and deployment of soldiers and horses, he would definitely not be a child of an ordinary small family.Therefore, in this strategic command, he completely followed Jiang Hussar's arrangement.

After Jiang Chengxiao's strategic arrangement was completed, Zhao Jiao immediately led two thousand infantry to rush to Xizhou Mountain. It was about thirty miles from their current position to Xizhou Mountain. Two hours later, Zhao Jiao led two thousand infantry to Xizhou Mountain. mountain road.

"In order to send the order, the crossbow infantry immediately climb the mountain to find a favorable location for shooting arrows, and the equipment infantry is ready to dig stones. The others start from this place, set up horse pits every [-] steps, and lay a layer of barbed wire every [-] steps. , and send ten scouts to patrol along the foot of the mountain to prevent any other mountain roads that can pass through Xizhou Mountain." Zhao Jiao gave the order very skillfully.

He is not as visionary and strategic as that Jiang Hussar when it comes to commanding the battle, and he is not as brave as Xue Li when it comes to charging, but he thinks that he will never lose to those two people when it comes to defending the city with infantry.

The biggest difference between guarding the mountain pass and defending the city is that there is no city gate at the pass, and he must ensure that the enemy will suffer heavy casualties before they enter the pass.When they enter the mountain road, there will be a "Heavenly God Stone" to greet them.

"Yes!"

The two thousand infantry who received Zhao Jiao's order moved quickly, and a pair of archer infantry quickly climbed the rock with two stone bows on their backs.The equipment pawns took out their hoes and began to dig a horse pit. The pit was five feet long, one foot wide, and three feet deep. Antler guns, bamboo sticks and other killing weapons were buried in the pit.

Zhao Jiao himself also climbed up Xizhou Mountain. When he looked back, he could vaguely see Fenyang County in Taiyuan County.The task on him is very heavy. He must strictly guard the mountain pass for more than three hours, giving enough time for Xue Li and Jiang Chengxiao who are ambushing outside to fight. Once the mountain pass falls, the people in Taiyuan County will suffer, and they will also suffer. The responsibility of the general.

In the south of Xiurong County, a Turkic cavalry of 5000 horses is marching fast. Their speed is very fast, and the wolf head flag is fluttering in the wind.The leader of this Turkic army was Zuo Duhou Zhu Xieluo.Not long ago, he was ambushed by the Jin army, and the vanguard suffered heavy casualties and had to temporarily retreat to Yikou County to rest. He thought he would be scolded by the second prince Jiao Li, but unexpectedly, Jiao Li did not scold him. Instead, they added 5000 troops to him, and asked him to be the vanguard again. He must take down the mountain pass from Zhoushan to Taiyuan County, so that his troops can enter Taiyuan tomorrow.

In fact, Zhu Xieluo is very puzzled by the decision of the second prince Jiaoli. They have achieved the purpose of their trip and successfully dragged the Jin army to Bingzhou. Why did they invade Taiyuan? Once they enter Taiyuan, it will be a real dead end , There is no chance to return to the grassland.

"Master Zuo Duhou, I heard that there is a palace of Emperor Jin in Taiyuan County, which is full of treasures and women. Is this true?" the soldiers asked him enthusiastically.

Zhu Xieluo glanced at him, and said calmly: "Well, I heard that there is a Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan County, which is full of concubines and maids of the Jin Emperor. It is rumored that the city was built with gold, and there are countless treasures in it. "

The soldier's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Master Zuo Duhou, then we must take down Taiyuan County. This time, the brothers went south and only took down a few small counties. There was nothing in them, not even women enough for the brothers to share." of."

"That's natural. As long as Jinyang Palace can be conquered, whoever grabs the treasures and women inside will be the one who grabs it. Therefore, for the sake of treasures and women, you must kill all the resisting Jin troops." Zhu Xieluo didn't move. Said with a seductive look.

Since they went south, their gains have been pitiful, and the momentum of the Turkic warriors is very low. It would be good if they could use that Jinyang Palace as a bait to boost their morale.

The surrounding soldiers passed his words to the Turkic people below, and cheers erupted in the formation. All the Turkic people wished they could fly to Taiyuan now, take down the Jinyang Palace, and drink the fine wine brewed by the Han people. The woman who enjoys the Emperor Jin is holding countless gold and silver treasures.

About three hours later, when the last rays of the setting sun were about to disappear, the Turkic soldiers and horses finally arrived at the mountain pass in the Han population.In the entire rolling mountain range, that small gap is not as big as the gap between fingers when viewed from a distance.

Zhu Xieluo didn't like the terrain of Bingzhou very much. There were mountains everywhere, and their cavalry couldn't give full play to their advantages. Even when they attacked the city, they could only be forced to fight to the death.He really missed the time when he fought with the Jin army on the grassland, and no one could resist the invincible Turkic cavalry.

The 5000 people stopped three hundred steps away from the mountain pass, Zhu Xieluo suddenly had a very bad feeling, he always felt that something was wrong.He couldn't tell what it was, he always felt that he was in danger now.

"Master Zuo Duhou, when will we set off?" The guards clamped their horses tightly, waiting expectantly for Zhu Xieluo to give an order.

"Don't worry, you send people to look around to see if there are any ambushes. In addition, let everyone get off their horses to replenish their strength." Zhu Xieluo learned to be careful. If he was ambushed by the previous Jin army when he was crossing the mountain pass, he would would be very dangerous.

"Yes."

The 5000 troops stopped in the gradually dimming sky, and the long formation was completely exposed to Jiang Chengxiao's eyes.On a mountain to the west of the Turkic people, Jiang Chengxiao stared at the Turkic people who were gradually disappearing into the night, and couldn't help being very confused.

Although he knew that Turkic people were not human and did not understand the art of war, but this was too much.Don't they know that a Jin army has already appeared in Loufan County, why the march is still so grandiose, and they don't even know how to hide it.

"Jiang Hussars are really powerful, and these sons of bitches are really planning to enter Taiyuan County through the mountain pass." Xue Li admired from the side.

Jiang Chengxiao didn't answer him, and now he was very puzzled, he always felt that things were going too smoothly, it was incredible.The Turkic people actually came here as he guessed.

No, now we have to think about it in a different way.

From the perspective of profit, if this group of Turkic cavalry enters Taiyuan, even if they can plunder one or two counties, they will still die by then, so what's the point?People are dead, isn't it even more hurt for the Turkic people who have been hit hard by the blizzard.

There must be something else that he didn't think of. Jiang Chengxiao rearranged his thoughts and connected with the development of the whole thing.While he was thinking hard, a Qingqi scout came to report: "General, there are about 5000 Turkic troops, and they are ready to set off now, trying to cross the Xiezhou Pass."

"5000 people?" Xue Li asked strangely, "There are at least 3 people in the Ministry of Science and Technology. How come there are only 5000 people, or are these 5000 people the vanguard army?"

When Jiang Chengxiao heard that there were 5000 people, a flash of light suddenly passed through his mind, and a trace of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.He was tricked, this bastard didn't plan to enter Taiyuan at all, if he guessed right, these 5000 people should be bait, throwing them out to make them think that the Turks are going to attack Taiyuan, his real purpose should be to escape Loufan County!
Jiang Chengxiao punched a dead tree, he took it for granted.What he should have thought of was that he would spare his life personally, let alone the second prince of Turkic.He had always thought that no matter how he chose, he would be a dead end.But now that the bait of 5000 people appears, it will change the current situation.
