Man Tanghong

After Li Shimin didn't know whether it was a real temptation or a fake temptation, he began to recover his true colors as a commander, and began to write documents for dispatching troops.

A document that dispatched twelve guards to Ma Sui, urging Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Li Daozong and others to hurry on their way, was sent out of Huai'an.

The generals of the Twelve Guards had just arrived at Baima when they received the entry documents.

When Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Li Daozong and others received the exact marching date, they had just arrived in Shizhou.

I don't know if it's because of the majesty of the commander-in-chief's order, or because he knows the importance of this battle to the Tang Dynasty. Whether it's the generals of the Twelve Guards or the three of Su Dingfang, after receiving the document, they all decisively abandoned it. Some heavy luggage were rushed to Suizhou in light vehicles.

December fifteenth.

Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin arrived in Suizhou first. On that day, the Yanzhou governor was defeated in Saimen Town. In the battle of Saimen Town, more than 1 people were captured, and more than 4000 people were forced to retreat to Suizhou.

The one who defeated the governor of Yanzhou was Suni Shi, who was not as famous in history as Jieli and Tuli.

After Li Shenfu got the news, he immediately sent Yin Kaishan to lead [-] troops to the Tuyan River to meet him, and at the same time ordered Yin Kaishan to guard the Tuyan River.

After Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin got the news, Luo Shixin led [-] fine riders to the Tuyan River without rest day and night.

For a time, the Tuyan River became the most intense battlefield in Suizhou.

December seventeenth.

Yin Kaishan and Luo Shixin lost a battle with Suni by the Tuyan River. Yin Kaishan and Luo Shixin took advantage of the geographical advantage of Tuyan Water to block Suni's lost army.

Suni was hindered by the fact that the terrain of the Tuyan River was not conducive to the performance of the Turkic cavalry, so he expanded the battlefield from the upper reaches of the Tuyan River to the clear stream in the lower reaches of the Tuyan River.

At the same time, the Turkic soldiers and horses outside Suizhou also launched a fierce attack on Dabin and Shangxian in Suizhou.

From north to west, from west to south, Suizhou has almost all been reduced to battlefields, only the east side has no war.

When Su Dingfang arrived at the Tuyan River, it was already December [-]th. Luo Shixin hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights.

When Suni lost the battle line to hundreds of miles long, the Turks' advantage of more than [-] soldiers and horses was fully brought into play.

In the face of more than [-] soldiers and horses attacking from any place from Tuyanshui to Qingjian, as well as the nuisance and attack day and night, Yin Kaishan and Luo Shixin, except for sticking to a few important ferries, spent the rest of the time Running around the long line of defense.

Yin Kaishan was fine, because he had enough soldiers and horses, and they were all infantry, so he only needed to guard a few important crossings.

Luo Shixin was different, he had all fine cavalry in his hands, so the heavy responsibility of running around the defensive line fell on him.

When Su Dingfang saw Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin's eyes were already filled with bloodshot eyes.

"Shixin!"

At the intersection of Tuyanshui and Qingjian, Su Dingfang grabbed Luo Shixin's horse by the reins and shouted.

Luo Shixin gritted his teeth and said, "I should go to Yanchuankou to help them. There are only less than 100 people there, and they can't stand it at all."

Su Dingfang tightly grabbed the horse's reins, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers have already arrived, you should rest!"

Luo Shixin turned his head subconsciously, stared into his scarlet eyes and said, "I won't go! They will die!"

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice again: "I have sent someone there, you can rest!"

Luo Shixin said in a hoarse voice: "Our troops are not strong enough. If you take care of Yanchuankou, you can't take care of other places. I will go to other places..."

Su Dingfang took a deep breath, raised his voice a few times and shouted: "I know you can still hold on, and I also know that you didn't want Suizhou to fall, and you didn't want those brothers who were sticking to every ferry and every important road They are alone.

But the brothers under your hand can hold on, right? "

Luo Shixin's eyes were a little lost. After subconsciously looking back at the soldiers behind him, he found that there were less than 3000 of the 1000 people who followed him. Most of them were wounded, and some of them even passed out. I just tied myself to the horse's back with a girdle belt, so I didn't fall off the horse's back.

Almost all have red eyes, almost all have white faces, and some have chilblains that have begun to ooze pus.

"Let them rest..."

Su Dingfang lowered his voice and said.

Luo Shixin stared blankly at the soldiers behind him for a while, then nodded stiffly and said, "Then let's rest."

He may not be sympathetic to himself, but he will not be sympathetic to his brother.

Many times, he regards his brother's life as more important than his own.

It is precisely because of this that while he is holding on to his death, his brothers are also following him to death without any regrets.

Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, Luo Shixin lay down on the horse's back as if he had been drained of energy. He didn't faint, but he couldn't feel any strength in his body.

On the hands, feet, face, and ears, itching like ants biting came up at the same time, and I couldn't even scratch it.

"Putong...Putong...Putong..."

The soldiers behind him fell off their horses one after another like dumplings.

While Su Dingfang went to help Luo Shixin, he shouted at the people under his command, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you help the brothers remove their armor, bury the pot and make food, and then call all the doctors in the general over.

The chilblain oil that was snatched from the Turkic people will be used by the brothers! "

It is cold in the north in December, especially in places near Turks, where it is even colder.

Doing nothing on weekdays, just wandering outside the house for a few laps may cause frostbite, let alone galloping by the river for three days and three nights in the cold wind.

Compared with other places, the cold outside the river is more likely to cause frostbite.

Su Dingfang had already seen Luo Shixin, and many of Luo Shixin's brothers were frostbitten.

Compared with those soldiers, Luo Shixin's frostbite was obviously more serious, because he gave his own cloak to a young soldier.

When Su Dingfang took Luo Shixin off the horse, Luo Shixin had already fallen asleep.

After helping Luo Shixin apply chilblain oil and wrap it in a thick cloak, Su Dingang began to dispatch soldiers and horses to help all parties.

He has completely different views and opinions from Yin Kaishan and Luo Shixin about the Turks spreading their troops and horses and pulling the battle line from Tuyanshui to Qingjian.

In the eyes of Yin Kaishan and Luo Shixin, the Turkic people took advantage of their military strength, and in the eyes of the Turkic people themselves, they also thought so.

But in his opinion, this is completely an act of sending someone's head to the door.

The Turks have a strong army right now, so they can give full play to their advantages by spreading out their soldiers and horses and stretching the front line. But in the same way, the Turks also gave them the opportunity to break down one by one and strangle them in batches.

They don't need to stick to the defense at all. They can open a few gaps in the defense line that are beneficial to them, let the Turks in, and then set up ambushes along the way, killing the Turks as pigs one by one.

Kill until the Turkic people dare not cross the line of defense at will, until the Turkic people have to regroup their forces and start a frontal fight with them in a certain place in Tuyanshui.

Therefore, when Su Dingfang allocated his troops, he only dispatched some of them to rush to support various ferries and main roads, and then kept the rest of them by his side.

At the same time, another document was sent to Yin Kaishan, asking Yin Kaishan to let go of Chengping, Suidedu, and Yanchuankou, and let the Turkic people in in batches.

Whether it is Chengping, or Suidedu and Yanchuankou, they are all places that are conducive to the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses to set up an ambush.

So as long as the Turkic people dare to come in, Su Dingfang is confident that they can wipe them out.

Hesitation Chengping, Suidedu, and Yanchuankou are located in three different places, almost at the upper, middle, and lower points of Tuyanshui and Qingjian in Suizhou.

So Su Dingfang didn't dare to take care of Luo Shixin for too long. Before Luo Shixin woke up and regained his energy, he had already led his army to leave, leaving only a few hundred people to take care of Luo Shixin and others, and they will be in Suide The task of setting up an ambush was handed over to Luo Shixin.

After Luo Shixin woke up, Su Dingfang had already left.

After Luo Shixin had a simple meal with his brothers, he rushed to Suidedu without stopping.

Accompanying them were hundreds of soldiers left by Su Dingfang.

Regarding Su Dingfang's new defensive strategy, he had no doubts at all, nor did he chase after it to get to the bottom of it, but chose to implement it immediately.

He has been working with Su Dingfang for more than a year, and he has developed some tacit understanding with him. He admires Su Dingfang's attainments in the art of war and strategy.

Therefore, he would not doubt Su Dingfang's strategy.

He is very clear that he is not a person who relies on his head for food, so he knows that Su Dingfang's strategy must be better than his, so he has no reason to doubt it.

However, some people think otherwise.

This person is Yin Kaishan.

When Yin Kaishan received Su Dingfang's 'order', he was dazed, stunned, and at a loss.

In terms of official rank, he is on the same level as Su Dingfang, and in terms of household closures, he is more than Su Dingfang.

And there is no relationship between the two of them as superiors and subordinates, let alone a subordinate relationship.

When he was in Hebei Road, he was an anonymous leader of the rebel army, and everything was secretly controlled by Li Yuanji, so he had to obey Su Dingfang, Li Yuanji's dog and horse.

But now he has left Hebei Road, and has resumed his status as Duke of the Tang Dynasty, leading the troops in Suizhou together with Li Shenfu.

It has nothing to do with Su Dingfang anymore, Su Dingfang has no way to bring Li Yuanji's prestige to order him, but Su Dingfang actually gave him an 'order'.

This made him angry and unhappy.

"Oh!"

Yin Kaishan angrily slapped the case table in the military tent, and cursed: "The one surnamed Su is too deceitful!"

A group of school lieutenants guarding outside the military tent heard that the general was angry, and rushed into the military tent.

"General?"

"What kind of general, what kind of army, is there a general who is riding on the head?!"

Yin Kaishan once again slapped the case and cursed.

All the school lieutenants looked bewildered.

Yin Kaishan stared and said: "What are you still doing, why don't you let go of Chengpingkou, set up an ambush behind Chengpingkou, and wait for the Turkic people to throw themselves into the trap?!"

The school captains were even more at a loss, what kind of regulations is this? !
