Chapter 203 Jun Ranger leads the troops as a scout

Faced with Yu Dehuai's question, Yang Guang did not shy away and said bluntly: "I received a tip earlier that the Turks might invade Shuozhou, so Uncle Wei Wang and I came to Shuozhou to lead the defense."

Yu Dehuai asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you tell us as soon as possible to resettle the people of Shuozhou and protect them from the Turks' invasion."

Faced with his question, Yang Guang replied: "How many days have I been in Turks? How can we properly resettle the people of Shuozhou into the pass when there are so many people in Shuozhou? Also, before I came here, I encountered the country of Yiyetan Buddha. I don't trust you. The facts are not true." Put it in front of you.”

Yu Dehuai had nothing to say and sighed: "I, Yu Dehuai, have been guarding the border for the imperial court for decades, and I have never died on the battlefield. I tried to save my life by killing a few more Turkic villains, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to do so in the evening." Bao, let your subordinates do such things."

No need for Yang Guang and others to say anything, now Yu Dehuai feels regretful.

"General Yu regrets that it is useless. If you really want to serve the country, you two can advise me here and mobilize your troops. You should be rewarded for defeating the Turks. You can also prove your innocence. As for Gao Huairong, leave a Good reputation."

As soon as Yang Guang said this, a different look suddenly flashed in Yu Dehuai's regretful eyes. He understood Yang Guang's words. As long as he helped him win this battle, Gao Huairong's matter might be solved. Suppress it, at least you don't have to bear the curse. Does the emperor know that this matter is not a matter of Yang Guang's words?
"The last general takes orders."

The two people who were still unconvinced before took the initiative to remove their armor this time and stood next to the tactical sand table to study it.

Yu Dehuai said: "Your Highness the King of Jin, the Turks fought yesterday. Although the general did not personally participate, he knew from the military report that their losses were extremely heavy. Today, they will definitely launch a more violent attack. If they can block it today, Maybe the Turks will not attack suddenly in tomorrow's battle, because the enemy's morale will be low after being blocked. According to Wei Chen's understanding of the Turks, they will clamor for the generals to fight outside the city. I believe His Highness King Wei will have good arrangements. "

Yang Guang nodded. This was also a commonly used combat method in this era. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties also had this routine. Let the general fight first, and the two sides would challenge each other. If the other side's general could be beheaded, the opponent's morale would be low, or even directly Surrender, if you don't fight, you are a coward. Unless you have Zhuge Liang's empty city strategy to make people scold their ancestors for eighteen generations without changing their expressions, you will definitely not be able to bear it.

Let people yell and curse under the city gate, don't get beaten up and it will hurt morale.

The Turks don't talk about martial ethics. They must fight first and then be polite. They know very well how to fight against the Sui Dynasty. First, try to make a force like a tiger and wolf with one drum. If it doesn't work, then follow the rules with you.

"Then do you have any good countermeasures?"

"The Turks have gathered forces in a short period of time, and their logistics supplies will definitely not be able to keep up. Our best plan is to delay. If the general can win today, the Turks' offensive will cease today. Then we will send a thousand cavalry to attack their rear in a detour. Destroying their food and fodder will demoralize their military."

Yang Guang frowned slightly: "Aren't you worried that the Turks will run out of food and grass and sink their boats?"

"Your Highness, the Turks are different from us. Their soldiers are often from different tribes gathered together, and they are not united. When they win the battle, they are easy to say, but when they lose the battle, people are panicked. And as far as I know, their soldiers There is already disharmony internally.”

At this time, Qin Qiong came with Zhou Wu to ask for an audience. After hearing Yu Dehuai's words, Qin Qiong immediately said: "Your Highness, King Jin, please allow me to lead troops to attack the enemy's grain and grass camp."

"Not at the moment. We haven't found out where the enemy's food and grass are yet. How can we attack rashly? Wait until the scouts have found the location and determined the plan before going."

"Please allow me to go forward at that time. I don't want them to be fighting the Turks while I am in the pass."

Qin Qiong seemed a little angry at the arrangements given to him. Of course the high-spirited young man wanted to lead the troops in battle.

Zhou Wu beside him also said: "Your Highness, King Jin, I would like to be your deputy."

Both of them were too young, and Yang Guang hesitated: "We'll wait until the situation is confirmed."

Zhou Wu immediately said: "Your Highness, King Jin, I am very familiar with the surrounding area. I am a scout and will go to find out where the local grain and grass warehouse is for Your Highness."

Considering Zhou Wu's familiarity with this area, Yang Guang nodded and said, "Take a small team of troops and find where the enemy's food and grass are. Pay attention to safety."

Yang Guang then gave Zhou Wu a team of five people, so the scout team did not need many people.

Zhou Wu did not stop and set off immediately.

At the same time, today's battle in Shuozhou City was extremely stalemate.

The Turks were still launching a fierce attack on Shuozhou City and encountered stubborn resistance from the Sui army.

Death and destruction spread all over the battlefield, and it was a mess. The open and flat area in front of the city gate was covered with blood and flesh. Broken swords made the land devastated. The low city wall was full of corpses, some with people and some with horses. Yes, now you can rush up to the city wall by following these corpses.

The main battlefield at this time was on the city wall, and the fighting was fierce with swords and swords. The Turks were about to break through the city wall, but the Sui army was not a vegetarian. The soldiers kept resisting with swords. , at least so far, there are more corpses of Turks on the ground than Sui people.

This is an unacceptable war of attrition for both sides, but both sides have to do this. Whoever retreats first loses.

When the battle was so stalemate, a group of cavalry charged in from the side. It was the cavalry group led by Lai Huer. However, it was Gao Huairong who was leading the cavalry group a few hundred meters ahead.

Gao Huairong was alone as if his eyes were red with blood. He held his knife high and rushed towards the Turkic army: "Kill!"

"Kill!" "Kill!!"

"Kill the Turks."

Accompanied by the powerful roar, Gao Huairong ignored it and rushed into the Turkic formation. Laihuer sighed: "You have great righteousness in your heart, why did you commit the act of subjugating your country and treason?"

"Brothers, let's rush in and kill the Turks."

A thousand cavalry troops charged in from the flanks. The leader, Lai Huer, held a heavy black iron spear and killed the Turks in front with one swing. They fell on their backs and a large gap was opened in the Turks' line due to the flank attack.

Yang Shuang, who was at the top of the city tower, keenly noticed that his friendly troops were entering the formation, and immediately gave a decisive order: "800 people from the cavalry battalion will follow me out of the city from the rear and intercept the enemy troops on the right."

The two cavalrymen on the left and right charged quickly. The morale of the Turkic army was already low at this time. Seeing that Shuozhou City, with its low walls, was difficult to capture, those who charged forward were as if they were being sent to a slaughterhouse with no return, and they were heartbroken. Timid.

The cavalry on the left and right sides rushed to kill, knocking the morale of the Turks to the bottom.

They all retreated for a while.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Sabolo Khan glared at his retreating team in front, and could only shout with hatred: "Retreat!"

Following the Turkic Khan's order, the Turkic army began to retreat. Laihu'er laughed ferociously, and the general, whose eyes were red with bloodshed, started to chase after him.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yang Shuang's subordinates clapped their horses and came to protect the children: "King Wei has ordered that the whole army retreat."

Lai Hu'er's spear was still wearing an unknown person's arm, dripping with blood, and he was killing the general. He was not a vicious tiger at all, and he was irrational.

Now because of Yang Shuang's order, he had to withdraw first.

Shaking off the severed limb from the spear, he rode to Yang Shuang's side and put the bloody spear on his shoulder. The blood was still dripping down the barrel of the spear. He said to Yang Shuang: "His Royal Highness King Wei." , the Turkic traitors have been repulsed by our army, why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue them?"

"Don't chase the poor enemy. Although we defended the city and captured the Turks, we don't know whether there was an ambush on the Turks' retreat route. We don't need to chase them. Moreover, our efforts failed again and again, and they were exhausted. Today is the Turks." After attacking for the second time, our morale is obviously not as good as yesterday. As long as this situation remains, the Turks will definitely lose this battle."

Lai Hu'er is a reckless man and doesn't care about these things. He just feels that today's fight is not entirely enjoyable.

……

At night, the smell of blood is still pungent in this war-torn land. The army of Shuozhou City is now taking advantage of the moonlight to clean up the corpses piled up and down the city wall. Some of them have to be cleared away. In addition to looking horrifying, it is also There is a risk of plague.

It was best to burn them, but it was not easy to burn so many corpses, so they had to throw them far away first.

In the Turkic camp, the quarrel was extremely fierce.

Sabolo Khan was under great pressure due to two consecutive days of defeats, and the leaders under his command frequently had conflicts of opinion.

"Khan, our troops suffered the heaviest losses today. We will not be the vanguard tomorrow."

"What do you mean? You died, but we didn't? Two teams of cavalry rushed out from the side. How many troops did the Sui Dynasty deploy here?"

"I originally thought that the troops from Yanmen Pass had come over. I sent them to Yanmen Pass today to investigate. I didn't expect that Yanmen Pass had enough troops and food supplies. They could even send cavalry to support them. How could there be so many Sui Dynasty troops in a small place like Shuozhou? This battle If we continue to fight like this, let alone grabbing things, everyone will die."

Sabolo Khan looked solemn: "Don't build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. I don't believe that the Sui Dynasty can have so many troops here. Don't they defend other places? Send people to explore the nearby cities. If there are any empty ones, we will send them The team goes forward and cannot return empty-handed this time.”

"Also, tomorrow I will personally go into battle against the enemy."

Sabolo Khan's words silenced everyone's discussion. The coach was going to play in person, so what else was there to argue about?

The curtain of the camp opened, and a Turkic soldier walked in and said loudly: "Khan, we have captured the scout sent by the Sui Dynasty."

"What's there to say? Just kill him and hang his head in front of the expedition team tomorrow."

"Khan, but the other party said he wanted to see you. He said he was the son of businessman Liu Kuang."

"Liu Kuang's son? Come and see him quickly."
