A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 95 Secret Weapon
About thirty miles east of the battlefield, an elite cavalry is here.

A fast horse galloped towards him, and no one dared to stop him.

"Report,"

"Report to the general manager that the hospital army was intercepted by more than a thousand Turkic cavalry about [-] miles east of Longxi County.

When Chai Shao heard this, he just asked indifferently: "How is the battle going? How many soldiers and horses did Wu Huaiyu lose? Has he retreated? Have the Turkic cavalry chased him?"

Tan Ma gave an unexpected answer.

"General Manager Wu was very careful when marching. He sent 24 roads of Tangqi to discover the Turkic ambushes in advance. Cheap, a round of charge knocked down a hundred cavalry, and then the whole army fought again, attacking with the method of roaming cavalry and shooting, but the general commander ordered the sergeant to defend the formation with bows and crossbows to fight back, the Turks still did not take advantage,
When the little one came back, the Turkic army had lost more than a hundred horses and was retreating to rest. "

"what!"

Chai Shao raised his gaze from the map in front of him, a little surprised, "What you said is true?"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense."

"So Wu Huaiyu's hospital battalion not only was not ambushed, but also withstood the impact of the Turkic thousand five hundred cavalry head-on, and even had a slight upper hand?"

"exactly."

Chai Shao was very surprised, and said to his soldiers: "Generals Liu and Xue are invited to come."

Liu Lancheng, Xue Wanche and the others rushed to hear what Chai Shao said, but they couldn't believe it. The [-] and nineteen warriors that were improvised were able to withstand five hundred and five hundred Turkic cavalry?

"This kid has some skills." Liu Lancheng said with a smile.

Chai Shao stroked his beard, "If that's the case, then we'll wait here, maybe we can catch even bigger fish."

"The chief executive is not worried that the hospital camp will be swallowed by then?" Xue Wanche really couldn't bear to think of the kid who helped him, and kept remembering that favor.

"War will kill people, no soldier is special, Turkic Shabola set Ashina Suni to fall into Liangzhou and captured Hexi, Yu She set Ashina Momo to plunder Lanwei, deliberately encircled Weizhou to lure our Tang army Rescue, it is clear that we must besiege the city to fight for aid. Although Niu Xiu killed some Turkic soldiers and horses, he is also surrounded in Weizhou now. Yu Sheshe has a big appetite.
I will help him now, just to see if he has the ability. "

Jieli, Tuli's uncle and nephew led the main force to attack Jingzhou. Now the Turkic general headed by Longyou is Yu Sheshe. He is the eldest son of Jieli's elder brother Chuluo Khan. When he was young, his younger brother Eliver set up the throne as Chuluo Khan, and continued to take Princess Yicheng of Sui as Ketun.

Chuluo Khan died after only a little more than a year in power. He was only about ten years old at the time. Princess Yicheng was his aunt, but his biological mother was actually Li Yuan's niece, who was even called Uncle Li Yuan.But at the beginning, Yicheng thought that he was young and ugly, so he did not make him, but supported Jieli as Khan, and married Jieli as Ketun.

Jieli snatched Momo's Khan position and granted him the title of Nanmianqi. Momo led his troops south to Hetao when he was older.

The siege of Wucheng in the early summer of this year was provoked by Yu Sheshe. This guy is very ambitious and wants to fight for the position of Great Khan.When Jieli Tuli's uncle and nephew invaded Jingzhou, he did not act together, but stayed in Longyou.

Chai Shao had already seen through Yu She's actions and plans, but he still sent Huaiyu to lead the hospital battalion to Weizhou. He was indeed used as bait. The original plan was to use Huaiyu, the fake main force, to lure Yu She into an ambush Unexpectedly, Huaiyu marched cautiously, not only did not get ambushed, but also withstood the attack of the Turkic cavalry, and even gained some upper hand.

"Wait a minute, the better Wu Huaiyu fights, the more Yu Sheshe will believe that this is an elite main force, and he will inevitably increase his troops to eat this piece of fat. "

Chai Shao was going back to Guanzhong for reinforcements to guard Chang'an, and he didn't have much time to entangle with the Turkic people in Longyou. Finding an opportunity to lure them out and annihilate them was the best strategy.

Speaking of which, Yu She set up to call Li Yuantang uncle, and also called Chai Shao a cousin-in-law.

But for Yu Sheshe's cousin, Chai Shao didn't have the slightest favor to say. In fact, when the Tang Dynasty was first established, it was almost wiped out by Yu Sheshe's father Chu Luo Khan. Although Chu Luo reigned for only more than a year, but Very capable and ambitious.

In the second year of Wude, Shibi Khan died, and his younger brother Tilifer set up the successor Khan as Chuluo Khan. According to tradition, he married Princess Yicheng as Ketun. Princess Yicheng was the daughter of the Sui Dynasty clan. It was Qimin Khan, his father and relative Jieli.

The Great Khan at that time was Dulan Khan, he was the son of Sabolo Khan, and Sabolo Khan married the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, the princess kept persuading Sabolo to invade the Sui Dynasty. After Khan continued to marry the princess, he also followed her persuasion to discord with Sui.

The Sui Dynasty recruited the little khan Tuli, sent two princesses of the Yang family to marry him, and finally supported him to destroy Dulan and become a great khan for Qimin Khan.After Qimin Khan died, Princess Yicheng remarried her son Shibi Khan according to Turkic customs.At the beginning of that year, Bi Khan sent troops to surround Yang Guang in Yanmen, and Princess Yicheng reported the news.

Like the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, she has been persuading Chu Luo Khan to help her avenge her family and country. Chu Luo Khan secretly joined forces with Wang Shichong, welcomed Empress Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao into Turkic from Dou Jiande, and established Yang Zhengdao as Sui Emperor. The king launched a southern expedition under the banner of Fu Sui.

The soldiers and horses from all walks of life are in great momentum, looking forward to joining forces in Taiyuan and going straight to Chang'an.

Li Yuan was trembling with fear in Chang'an at that time, and hurriedly sent envoys to the Turkic army to seek peace, but Chu Luo refused at all.

But on his way south to Taiyuan, he died suddenly.

Some people say that he died of a sore attack after eating the five stone powder given by Princess Yicheng, others say that he was poisoned by his niece and wife of Li Yuan, some say that the Tang Dynasty sent assassins to assassinate, and some say that The envoy poisoned it, and some even said that it was Xieli who did it secretly.
It is said that it rained blood for three days, and dogs howled at night.

As soon as Chu Luo died, the four-way attack came to an abrupt end. Jieli joined forces with Princess Yicheng to win the position of the Great Khan, and was busy returning to the Khan Court to consolidate the Khan's position and had no intention of going south, so the other soldiers and horses naturally withdrew.

Li Tang escaped unharmed.

After Xieli had completely stabilized his power, he also began to invade year after year, constantly marching south, but in terms of ability, he was far inferior to Chuluo.

As for Chuluo's eldest son Ashina Momo, he also has no affection for his mother Li Tang. In the past few years, he has been in the Hetao area, and he has been plundering the border of the Tang Dynasty in conjunction with Shuofang Liangshidu.

There is no way to be polite about this kind of cousin.

"Send more sentries and keep an eye on them, don't scare the big fish!"

·····
East of Longxi County.

On the night of the seventh day, the moon is like a sickle, and the stars are dim.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires.

The Tang army camp was very quiet.

The sergeants were still not disarmed, they were still guarding their positions, and they didn't dare to relax at all. Fortunately, there was enough horse meat today, but there were a lot of mosquitoes, and there was even a strong smell of blood on the battlefield.

Only [-] cavalry were disarmed early and rested for a long time. After dark, the cavalry added food, and the horses also added food.

"Cavalry in armor, ready to fight." Huai Yi ordered in a low voice, and the action began.

Turkic Que Teqin came to persuade Huaiyu to surrender, but Huaiyu reminded them to retreat and the Turkic people did not agree. In the afternoon, the two sides fought for more than an hour, and both armies were exhausted at this time.

The hospital battalion lost more than 300 people, and the Turkic people were not much better. However, the Turkic people who lost [-]% did not retreat. They were very tenacious. Apart from the determination to win, it can only show that they are also waiting for reinforcements, and even the reinforcements are already on the way. on the way.

They were all racing against time. Although Huaiyu sent someone to report to the Fuqiang camp at the beginning of the encounter with the enemy, asking for reinforcements, there was no reply.

Rather than waiting, fight for it yourself.

Huaiyu also brought the White Hoofed Crow, he raised the Mo Dao, he carried a Zhongyong long mace on his back, two maces, a horizontal saber on his waist, and a horse lance on his saddle.

"You are the chief, you should stay in the camp."

Huaiyu pointed at Wu Junwei, "He is in charge of staying in the camp. After we enter the enemy camp, you will follow the army to cover up and kill us. If our offensive is not going well, you should guard this army formation and leave us a retreat."

Ma Zhou reminded Huaiyu, "I'm afraid the Turks will be on guard."

"Even if you are prepared, you have to try it. This is the only chance. We have so many infantry and civilians. We can't defeat them, and we don't even think about retreating safely. What's more, our mission is to rush to Weicheng, and now it's overdue. Returning it is also a military law."

"Don't worry, although I am not good at riding and shooting now, I am still good at riding a horse and using a knife."

There were so many casualties during the day. Although the morale of these soldiers was high and they were not comparable to ordinary recruits, the morale of such casualties would inevitably drop. this.

"Besides, I have a secret weapon here."

In fact, when he received the task in Fuqiang City, he immediately collected a batch of supplies in Fuqiang City, just for emergencies, and now he has used them.

Due to insufficient materials, the amount prepared is not much, but he believes that it can help him tonight.

"Are these things really useful?"

"Why, you underestimate these things, let me tell you, this is the Taoist secret method of palm thunder. If it weren't for the critical situation today, I would not want to let this baby appear in the world. This palm thunder, when lit and thrown, can send out thunderbolts and thunderbolts, shaking the sky. When the ground is shaken and the camp is attacked, it is like a tiger with wings added."

It's a very simple thing. Some prepared gunpowder is poured into the bamboo tube, filled with food, and a lead wire is inserted. This thing is a kind of earth firecracker, which can make a lot of noise, but it is basically impossible to kill enemies and wound people. .

But has the world ever seen this thing?

Especially when attacking the camp in the middle of the night, if you click one and throw it in the enemy's tent, wouldn't you be shocked?
To attack the camp, the first thing is to create chaos, so that the enemy cannot gather and form an formation, and that is half the battle.

"The quantity is limited, please remember to wait until you enter the enemy's camp before using it. Also, throw it far away, and throw it when you are looking at the opponent's tent!"

"Wu Junwei, keep an eye on this place. Once the Turkic camp is in chaos, you will immediately lead the army to cover up and respond. If the enemy camp is not chaotic, then guard the army and do not go out!"

Huaiyu planned to wait until the middle of the night before attacking, when people's vigilance is weakest.

"Damn,"

Huaiyu was really in a hurry, the firecrackers came out ahead of time, and they were first used in war!
