Chapter 385 Chapter 396: Reversing the Battle Situation

About half an hour later, Li Hao felt the ground tremble. It seemed that a large group of people was galloping towards them, and they were within seven miles of them. Since it was impossible to see whether it was an enemy or a friend in the dark, Li Hao ordered that all members be on alert with bows and crossbows. .

When he approached four miles, he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and then Li Hao saw a scout soldier rushing over, got off his horse and reported: "Director Li, General Xue has returned victorious!" flag.

"Okay!" Li Hao laughed heartily and said loudly, "Welcome to General Xue!"

All the troops lined up to greet them, but they did not relax their vigilance at all. This is the iron-like military discipline of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why the Tang army is strong is not that the Tang people are braver and stronger than those barbarians, but because the Tang army has an iron-like military discipline.

Soon, Xue Rengui's bright armor appeared first in the light, Li Hao drove his horse forward ten feet, Xue Rengui also drove forward alone, and both of them got off their horses, only to see Xue Rengui holding a square sky painting halberd and carrying an iron bow on his back, He said cheerfully: "Shi Kuang, thank you for giving me these two magical weapons, they are really treasures in the world!"

Li Hao knew that he was talking about Fang Tian's painted halberd and iron-backed bow, so he smiled and asked, "How about it, is it easy?"

"Extremely smooth! Unstoppable power!" Xue Rengui excitedly said, "Especially this steel-tired and iron-backed bow, which is nearly four stones in strength, I shot it with one arrow, and the arrow connects the two without stopping. I, Xue Rengui, will not exchange for the supreme treasure!"

"As long as you like it." Li Hao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "How is the result of this sneak attack on Tubo's food and grass?"

Xue Rengui laughed and said: "It went very well. Although they had a large number of people, they were careless. When we killed them, they were still sleeping. We not only burned their food and grass camp, but also killed more than 6000 people. They all fled in the dark night, I originally planned to chase them down, but I was afraid of accidents, after all, the poor should not chase them, so I came back."

"You did the right thing." Li Hao nodded and smiled, "Our task is to burn food and grass. As long as there is no food and grass, the morale of the Tubo army will be greatly damaged. We must not try to be quick and miss a major event. This is a big taboo for military strategists. .”

"Yes." Xue Rengui nodded, "Although this is my first time fighting, I still understand these principles."

Li Hao said: "Let's go back to the camp, let's discuss the next strategy."

Xue Rengui arranged for all the troops to set up camp, and then went back to the camp with Li Hao.

When they arrived at Li Hao's tent, Xue Rengui took off the binoculars and returned them to Li Hao, saying: "Shi Kuang, is your binoculars really a magic weapon of the fairy family? .”

Li Hao took the binoculars with a light smile, changed the subject and said, "Don't talk about that, come on, let's discuss the next action, how do you think this battle should be fought next."

Xue Rengui said: "Now that the Tubo army has lost their food and grass, they must be anxious. They have only two choices right now, either to withdraw their troops, or to borrow food and grass from the Western Turkic Army or Xue Yantuo's army."

Li Hao nodded and said: "That's right, but we guard their rear and cut off their retreat, so they can't retreat, they can only choose to borrow food and grass."

Xue Rengui said: "Since they borrow food and grass, they will inevitably divide their forces into two groups. With the help of your magic weapon, we can see their division and deployment. At that time, we can attack, either sneak attack on the Chinese army, or intercept them. The troops who went to borrow food and grass."

Li Hao thought for a while, then slowly said: "Your idea is good, but I have a better idea."

"Oh?" Xue Rengui asked curiously, "What kind of strategy do you have for poet madness, let's hear it."

Li Hao said: "Although your method just now is good, it can only deal with the Tubo army. You know, I am a greedy person. I want to cripple the Western Turkic, Tubo, and Xue Yantuo armies at the same time, so I think we The troops should be divided into two groups. While Tubo was going to borrow food from the Western Turkic army, I led people to intercept and kill the Tubo food loan team halfway, and then I pretended to be the Tibetan food loan team, went to borrow food from the Western Turkic army, and then suddenly launched an attack , the Western Turkic army was caught off guard, and as for you, you will be responsible for leading troops to attack Xue Yantuo, but you must be careful, Xue Yantuo and the Huihe army combined have 5000 people, and you only have [-] people. You must not act recklessly, after all The distance between the main force of the Tubo army and Xue Yantuo's army is less than ten miles, and they may support them at any time, and if they find that the situation is not right, they should retreat immediately and look for a better opportunity."

"Okay." Xue Rengui nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "Shikuang, how do you know that Tubo will definitely ask the Western Turkic Army to borrow food instead of borrowing from Xue Yantuo?"

Li Hao smiled and said: "This place is not far from the Khan Futu City of the Western Turks, and their food and grass can be continuously sent from the Khan Futu City, so the Western Turks have the most food and grass, and the commander of the Tubo Army will definitely find them. Western Turks borrow food, not Xue Yantuo."

"So that's how it is. I admire the poetic mind." Xue Rengui admired it sincerely. When it comes to military tactics, Xue Rengui thinks that he is not much worse than Li Hao, but when it comes to strategic calculations, he sighs that he is not as good.

"Don't admire it." Li Hao said, "Starting tonight, you should be ready at any time. I will send people to closely monitor the movement of the Tubo army with binoculars. As soon as their food lending team leaves, we will start to act."

"Decree!" Xue Rengui nodded and accepted the order.

Li Hao said with a smile: "What the hell, you and I are both marching chiefs, and we are equal, but after this battle, I'm afraid I will become the new military god of the Tang Dynasty, and I will really aspire to the position of marching chief. At that time, you will come again."

Xue Rengui smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said: "Your talent is maddened by poetry, and you deserve the title of military god. There are seven countries participating in this battle, with a total of 17 enemy troops. Moreover, they suddenly launched an attack and surrounded us. They are about to wipe us out. If any famous general of the Tang Dynasty came, he would be unable to deal with it. Even General Li Jing would be helpless, but Shi Kuang, you recruited flying to seize Xizhou, completely reversed the situation. We have also changed from prey to hunters. I have never convinced anyone before, but you are the only one who has convinced Shi Kuang."

Li Hao waved his hands and said modestly: "It's still too early to talk about reversing the situation. If our next action can be successful, we can truly reverse the situation. Moreover, the [-] troops of General Manager Su are still trapped in Tingzhou City. Their food and grass can last for a few days, this battle cannot be delayed, it should be settled quickly."

Xue Rengui nodded: "It's true, I hope Chief Su can last a few more days."

While Li Hao and Xue Rengui were discussing tactics, in the tent of the Tubo Central Army, the coach Tenzin Jiangcuo received an urgent report from the rear, and was so angry that the general's case was overturned to the ground, and then he kicked the front The messenger who delivered the letter glared and yelled angrily: "Idiots! They are all idiots! 1 people can't keep food and grass. Without food and grass, what do you let my commander's [-] troops eat!"

"Great... Marshal, spare me... Spare me... This subordinate is just a messenger..."

"Murzan, you idiot! Come here!" Tenzin Jiangcuo gritted his teeth and called out loudly.

Immediately outside the door, a personal guard walked in, made a Tubo military salute, and said, "Your subordinate is here!"

Tenzin Jiangcuo gritted his teeth and said, "Pass down the commander's order! Murzan neglected his duty and caused the army's food and grass to be burned by the enemy. This crime is unforgivable. If he is captured, the commander will chop off his head himself!"

"Yes!" The guard immediately received the military order and retreated.

Tenzin Jiangcuo drove away the messengers, walked back and forth in the tooth tent for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Come here!"

"The subordinate is here!" Another personal guard entered the tooth tent.

Tenzin Jiangcuo said in a deep voice: "Pass down the commander's military order and order General Yaher to come and see the commander as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, a voice came from outside the tent: "Commander, Yaher asks to see you."

"Come in."

A thick and bearded Tubo general came in, and he saluted Tenzin Jiangcuo when he met him: "Yahel sees the commander-in-chief."

"There is no need to be too polite." Tenzin Jiangcuo said, "Yahel, news just came from the rear that our grain and grass army was attacked by the Tang army, and all the grain and grass were burned. Now the commander suspects that Xizhou may also be attacked by the Tang army. It was taken back, and those Tuyuhun wastes are really embarrassing."

Yaher was shocked when he heard the words: "What, all the food and grass are gone, and Xizhou has been taken back? Then we are going to starve to death in the desert!"

"What are you panicking about?" Tenzin Jiangcuo said, "This matter must be kept secret and not publicized, otherwise the morale of the army will be shaken. In this way, you will bring the commander's order and take another [-] left troops to the Western Turkic Army. They first borrowed three thousand stones of food and grass to meet their urgent needs."

Yaher asked doubtfully, "Will they borrow it?"

"If they don't borrow it, they will seek death themselves!" Tenzin Jiangcuo said coldly, "Now we, the countries participating in the war, are all on the same boat. Only by working together can we deal with Tang Dynasty. If our Tubo army is defeated, How long can their Western Turkic army last? Also, here is only a few hundred miles away from Western Turkic. If the Tang army wins, they can take advantage of the victory and pursue it, directly attacking the Western Turkic border, and maybe even hit their royal court."

Yaher nodded: "Commander, this subordinate understands, and this subordinate will go to borrow food immediately."

"Well." Tenzin Jiangcuo immediately wrote a warrant and handed it to Yaher. Yaher took the warrant out of the tooth tent and immediately began to deploy troops.

Li Hao had just finished talking with Xue Rengui, and went to the high hill outside the camp to check the situation of the Tubo army camp with binoculars. He shouted the order: "Everyone listen to the order, quickly prepare and assemble!"

Xue Rengui hurried over when he heard the sound in the distance, and asked anxiously, "Shikuang, what's the matter?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows excitedly: "The enemy army has made moves, and they may have to borrow food. You are also ready to act. Remember, if things change, I will notify you with signal arrows."

Xue Rengui nodded: "Okay!" After speaking, he quickly returned to his barracks to integrate the troops.
