Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 221 The script is wrong!

Alvi's words shocked the surrounding Ye Hu.

They had always thought that the target of this trip south was the Si Jie Department.

How did it become Lingzhou and Xiazhou?
Attacking Sijiebu is not the same concept as attacking Lingzhou and Xiazhou.

Ao Shi said: "This..."

He opened his mouth, his voice trembled a little, and even his voice got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

The Tang Dynasty used troops against Mobei twice in the past 30 years. One was to destroy the Turks, and the other was to destroy Xue Yantuo. The former controlled millions, and the latter also had 30 grassland overlords. Both ended up being swept away by Li Ting of the Tang Dynasty. solved.

These two wars placed an unprecedented psychological burden on the grassland peoples. The Turks were annihilated in the first war, and the Xueyantuo was annihilated in the first war, which completely broke the backbone of the northern nomadic peoples.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tang Dynasty had too strict control over Mobei, which seriously affected the development of their clan, they would not have dared to have any rebellious intentions.

Now that they were forced to rebel, what they thought about was not to fight against the Tang Dynasty, but to migrate and escape.

This attack was just to plunder supplies and to escape better.

Ao Shi couldn't even think of directly attacking the Tang Dynasty's city.

"We have no siege equipment, how can we attack the city?"

The speaker was Lai Yihua, Ye Hu of Gu Lun House.

Originally, the Gulunwu Gu tribe was a powerful tribe in the Mobei grassland and belonged to the Xue Yantuo Khanate. However, due to being beaten by the Tang Dynasty, their strength was greatly reduced. They were unruly and did not choose to surrender. Instead, they hid. A period of peaceful life passed.It was not until the first year of Yonghui that Youxiao Weilang general Gao Kan attacked the nose of the car, wiped out the bones of Gulun House, and chose to surrender.But because he returned too late, not to mention the lush Monan grassland, even the barren Mobei grassland was not a good place.

As a result, a rather powerful tribe was assigned to a bitter and cold land that was barely self-sufficient.

Every winter, a group of people in the tribe would die. Lai Yihua knew that if this continued, Gulunwugu would become a small tribe that everyone could bully.

Flowers don’t bloom for a hundred days. If one day in the future, the Tang Dynasty declines, the deterrence will be insufficient.The grassland is once again dominated by the weak and the strong, and the declining Gu Lun House will be the first to disappear.

Because of this, his anti-Tang attitude was second only to that of Bi Sudu and Alvi, but he was also frightened to let him go to Lingzhou.

Alvi narrowed his eyes and said: "You don't understand this. If you attack Lingzhou, you may not actually attack. There is a saying in the Central Plains people's art of war that you must save the enemy if you attack it. If we attack Sijie Department directly, we will face The right one is the Si Jie tribe’s desperate resistance, as well as Huang Heshou’s [-] Tang army. We do have an advantage in numbers, but who of you can guarantee that you can really win?”

When he asked this question, the situation was immediately awkward.

The martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty were excessive, and the ability of their generals, the quality of their soldiers, and their equipment training showed a tendency to crush the nomads.

Facing the Tang army due to the numerical gap, they really couldn't produce very good results.

These tribes often fought together with the Tang Army, and they had psychological shadows about the Tang Army's terrifying combat effectiveness.

Especially with the rise of Su Dingfang in the past two years, what kind of fairy wars are they fighting?

Five hundred breaks the formation to [-]?

Walking and riding 13 people swept [-]?
"So, fight them wisely..." Alvi, as everyone's think tank, pointed to his brain and said: "I have had contacts with Huang Heshou and know his temperament very well. This person is very courageous. , brave and good at fighting, in terms of force, only one of us can fight with Mi Du, the first warrior on the grassland. The Sijie tribe is indeed not strong, but in the face of the danger of genocide, men, women, old and young are still very powerful when they go into battle together. It's a threat. If they work together, if we really fight, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. Dragging a group of wounded soldiers across the desert to the west may not make it out."

Those words made the people around me feel chilled.

Alvi continued: "It's different to attack Lingzhou. We lured Huang Heshou out, but instead of fighting him head-on, we sent a team of ten thousand people to the empty Lingzhou. It would be best if we could catch them by surprise. , directly capture Lingzhou City, and the wealth and food in the city will be enough for all of us to move westward. Even if they are prepared, we don’t have the means to attack the city. If we cannot capture Lingzhou City, we can still sweep away the surrounding villages and harvest. Not less, Lingzhou is a place rich in food."

"Of course! Our purpose is not to plunder, but to transfer Huang Heshou back to Lingzhou."

"Think about it, with our [-]-strong army here, how many people can Huang Heshou bring from the Si Jie Department?"

"If he brings more, we will directly attack the Sijie tribe. If he brings less, we will follow Huang Heshou and attack them front and back with the team that attacked Lingzhou. As long as they are eliminated, the Sijie tribe will collapse without a fight, and Lingzhou will be defeated." The materials from the surrounding villages and counties, as well as the cattle and sheep of the Sijie tribe, are enough for us to move to the west." Lai Yihua asked: "How can the army penetrate deep into Lingzhou without being discovered?"

Alvi answered eloquently and said: "In recent years, under the cover of Tangting Colonel Xu Kai, my people have traveled between two places and found two detours into Lingzhou. One is for smuggling, and the other is for today's Victory is assured.”

Alvi described the situation vividly and thoughtfully.

Mobei has little contact with the Central Plains and has little knowledge of the Central Plains culture.

The environment in the area they live in is harsh, and they don't have much time to calm down and study. Fighting depends on experience.

In the past, they continued to attack and devour internally, and each clan member had rich experience. Now the Tang Dynasty does not allow them to use troops internally. Most of the combat experience of the soldiers was honed by following the Tang army.

The generals of the Tang Army did not have time to teach them the skills of marching and combat. Most of them were wire-raising operations, doing whatever they were asked to do.

The personal abilities of the soldiers have not weakened much because they remain nomadic, but the level of the generals in the clan is obviously in a retrograde stage.

Hearing what Alvi said was reasonable, the serious and tense atmosphere was relieved, and there was hope in his eyes to escape the devil Datang.

Bi Sudu suddenly said: "You and I have 2000 men each. How about an equal distribution of the materials obtained?"

Strength is respected on the grassland.

The Yaoluoge tribe and the Tongluo tribe are firmly ranked first and second. If they are willing to share equally, it would be the best.

"As it should be!"

"no problem!"

The crowd readily agreed.

Bisu and Alvi looked at each other. There was another key point in attacking Lingzhou. They did not explicitly say that this forced move westward was a last resort and there would be many difficulties along the way.If we don't completely break up with the Tang Dynasty, it would be bad if someone couldn't support it and regretted it on the way.

In addition to looting, the other purpose of attacking Lingzhou was to take advantage of the chaos to massacre and cut off everyone's way back.

If the east and west are equally divided, the killing will naturally be the same.

Immediately, the [-] cavalry left the main force under the cover of night, and the remaining [-] troops set off at dawn and headed south into the Monan territory.

The fertile Monan grassland made Ye Hu of the tribes even more jealous of the Si Jie tribe.

They hate that Si Jiebu is a dog but has such a pasture, and they hate that they are not even qualified to be a dog.

"Report!"

A horse is coming from afar.

The first warrior on the grassland, Bimi, and the first wise man, Alvey, took a few steps forward at the same time.

Bi Sudu said: "Quickly tell me what's going on!"

Lai Qi looked confused and said: "There is no situation!"

Alvi said anxiously: "We are almost at the Thought Department, how come there is nothing going on?"

Lai Qi said: "The Sijie tribe has moved elsewhere, and the old site is empty."

Alvi was confused...

The script is wrong! !
