Chapter 546 A Tragic Beginning

The person Wang Hua begged for was Gao Xianzhi.

In fact, if Wang Hua could remember more history, he would have found him long ago.His father, Gao Sheji, served as a guerrilla general very early on. He made many contributions in Hexi, and became an official in four towns and ten generals.Therefore, Gao Xianzhi followed his father to Kucha when he was a teenager. Because Gao Sheji had meritorious service, he could no longer be rewarded, so he, like Wang Hua, rewarded Wang Hua's family members.The imperial court rewarded Gao Xianzhi, who had just won the crown, as a guerrilla general.

But it's just a military job, and I haven't really fought on the battlefield.It was this time that Guo Yuanzhen did not bring this young man with him when he went to Dafeichuan.

But because of this award, Gao Xianzhi began to enter Wang Hua's field of vision.

I don't know whether Guo Yuanzhen, an old fox, will let him go. Does Gao Xianzhi agree?It made Wang Hua feel uneasy.If you get this young general, the blood camp will really become a concentration camp for famous generals.Think about it, Hu Jiang has Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi, even Lun's father and son are not weak, Li Kailuo and Wu Keli are only overshadowed.

Among the generals of the Han people, there are many famous generals, such as Guo Zhiyun, Wang Junchuo, and the famous Wang Guo.Feng Changqing is one of the top players.As well as Zhang Shougui, Wang Jun, Guo Qianguan, they all have such and other problems, even inside the blood camp, they pride themselves on their superiority, sometimes they are not convinced by the opponent, but they are also famous generals.Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong have officially grown up, and they are also one of the famous generals with both civil and military skills.Xue Song is also remarkable.And there are a large number of people who were cultivated or selected by themselves, such as Kong Heizi, Gongsun Yun, Liu Tong and others, who also have high talents in military affairs.

In future generations, the whole Real Madrid is even better than Real Madrid.

There are two other people who don't need to be recommended, he has always taken it to heart, Wang Zhongsi from the Wang family in Taiyuan, unfortunately he is only four years old.I will stop thinking about it.Later generations find Wang Zhongsi's talent inconceivable, and believe that Li Longji adopted Wang Zhongsi in the palace because of the pain in his heart after Wang Haibin's tragic death, and taught Wang Zhongsi the art of war hidden in the palace. Military talent.That's bullshit.Wang Zhongsi asked Li Longji to stay in the palace for a period of time, but there was no such thing as Li Jing's military strategy.If there is, and it is so miraculous, Lao Wu has long been passed on to Wang Xiaojie and other confidant generals, so why their disastrous defeat?

Art of war is still dead, but talents are alive.I have never had the chance to see Li Jing's Art of War painting, but I believe it may not be better than "Sun Tzu's Art of War". "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has never banned it, even the Hu people got it, but how many people can appreciate the essence of it?
But precepts and deeds are very important, and Li Jing's apprentice Su Dingfang may have benefited in this way.Half of his apprentice Hou Junji also benefited in this way.

There is another person, Wang Hua, who is also brooding. Li Zhongsi, one of the top ten Hu generals in the Tang Dynasty, was later ranked.This General Hu is only recorded in the history books as a native of Chang'an. This seven-foot-long general with outstanding physical strength joined the army very early.However, it is said that Tianbao joined the army in the early years, so it is possible that he has not yet been born or has just been born.

So Wang Hua can only recruit so many people at present.

Of course, even if Lao Guo suspected that summoning Gao Xianzhi would not make Guo Yuanzhen reuse him immediately.

Famous generals are cultivated step by step, just like Feng Changqing, the later top famous generals, although they were remarkable in the Yanzhou defense battle and Xiazhou defense battle, they have not been able to achieve more perfection.This was only obtained after Zhang Shougui treated him as a half-disciple and taught him carefully for several months.

I believe the same is true for Gao Xianzhi.But Guo Yuanzhen was no one else, and Gao Xianzhi agreed, Guo Yuanzhen agreed, would Gao Sheji agree?Thinking of this, Wang Hua's heart fluctuated.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked the soldiers to bring another message: Attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom.Unite the people and fight against the nobles.

The reason why there is resistance, but our own army goes smoothly, is mainly due to the people.

Previously, the resettlement of the people by myself even made the people of Dafeichuan look forward to entering the territory of eight states.Just like some tribes in Liuhu Prefecture, they really want to enter Turkic, otherwise Mo Chuai would not be able to capture all the people in several states this time.It is these well-know tribal cooperation that caused it.

But for Guo Yuanzhen's army, the people are full of doubts.

It was not done by the common people. It turns out that I entered Dafeichuan just to take away some common people's supplies to fight against the Tubo people, not to take possession of them.Therefore, the nobles of Tuyuhun were afraid and forbeared and did not dare to resist.This time, all the Tuyuhun people on the east side of Chiling came under his own tent, and Guo Yuanzhen went out to Dajichuan again, leaving only a place with a big dish on the southwest side of Qinghai, and it was cut off from Tubo, so Guo Yuanzhen could eat it at any time.The nobles of Tuyuhun must resist to the death.

If the battle situation is in a tangled state and the Tubo people send troops again, Guo Yuanzhen's army may be defeated.If Guo Yuanzhen retreats, Tubo will attack Jishi Mountain again from Zishan and Dafeichuan.But if he withdraws the main force, Jishishan will be empty of troops, and Jishishan will quickly rot.Once corrupted, the same Shanzhou and Hezhou will also be empty of troops, and it will be even more corrupted by then.I had to divide my troops and go south.The situation in the north was once again unfavorable.That's where disaster comes.

Therefore, Wang Hua did not want Guo Yuanzhen to fail.

However, distinguishing the common people from the nobles, and adopting some appropriate soft policies towards the common people, the nobles will have no soldiers to use.

Moreover, these nobles were also lackeys of the Tubo people, and their status was not high in the hearts of the Tuyuhun people.With Guo Yuanzhen's ability, he should be able to do this.

But Wang Hua didn't elaborate. With Guo Yuanzhen's cunning, after hearing the sixteen characters, he didn't need to elaborate.

But then received a very bad news.

It turned out that Wang Hua's plan was to call up a large number of militias, and then draw out part of the army to start guerrilla tactics with Mo Ju in Beihetao.Although Moji and Yibili's army combined, reached more than 8000 people.Conquering the East Surrendered City, Wang Hua is not sure now.However, if he sent an elite army to fight Mo Ju in the wild and force them back to Dongshoujiang City, Wang Hua still had a chance of winning.

In this way, the field of Beihetao will become the world of the blood camp.But after receiving the news from Pugu Qing, Wang Hua made another arrangement.This arrangement is correct, but there is one thing that Wang Hua was negligent, or he had to do it knowing that he was negligent.That is sacrificing the advantages of the field, and deliberately delaying the establishment of the militia battalion.

This arrangement led to this sacrifice.

After Mo Chuan learned about Xiazhou and Triangle City, he immediately summoned troops to attack Shengzhou City.

Not his own troops, yes, only a few of them play a role of supervision and supervision, which is very similar to the arrangement of the Blood Camp in Xiazhou City.The others are all Hu soldiers recruited from Liuhuzhou, let them put on armor and hold weapons, and even the war horses are also the war horses raised by the Tang Dynasty court.

The original army and the young and middle-aged men who were forcibly pulled in later made up about [-] people. They rushed to the city of Shengzhou and began a fierce attack on the city.

Zhang Shougui wasn't jealous either, and launched a counterattack on the basis of the city wall.

These stragglers suffered heavy losses under the counterattack of the blood battalion. After only one day of attack, the soldiers immediately fell down.Then at this time the Turks used a very shameless trick, using their relatives to threaten them.If the city of Shengzhou cannot be breached within seven days, the Turks will execute all their family members to death.

In fact, not to mention seven days, if it was just these people, they would not be able to conquer the city even if they conquered it for a month.

Mo Chuo didn't expect them to capture Shengzhou, mainly to polish the defensive weapons in the city.It would be better if it could cause some damage to the blood camp.This point is very similar to Wang Hua's arrangement again.

But I didn't expect these miscellaneous soldiers to start desperately because of worrying about their families.Moreover, after a day of offensive and defensive battles, they gradually began to look good. The next day, they were actually allowed to climb to the top of the city several times, although they did not cause serious harm.But on this day, more than 300 soldiers were injured in the blood camp.

So Wang Hua sent [-] ships to Shengzhou, not only weapons, but also [-] soldiers.Shengzhou is very important in strategic position.From the east, it controls the east side of the south bank of the Hetao.Then use the Queyue formation to station an army on the west side of the south bank of Hetao.These two armies are like two ghosts knocking on the door, firmly stuffed in the heart of the Turkic army.

These fifteen hundred soldiers were drawn from Gongsun Yun's Azure Dragon Brigade and Kong Heizi's Yaoguang Army.One of the two leading regiment leaders is a Han Chinese, a soldier transferred from Luzon, who is proficient in water warfare, and his name is Liang Sitai.One is He Tongmo, a general of the Hu people, who is also a brave general.

The fleet rushed towards Shengzhou in a mighty way, but after passing through Zhongshou surrendered city, they began to encounter counterattacks on the shore.If you shoot arrows from one side, you can also move the fleet closer to the other side.Even if the arrows are fired normally from both sides, they may not reach the center of the river.The river surface in this section is much wider than that in Lanzhou, usually more than 300 meters, and the width can reach more than 400 meters, which is between 250 and [-] steps.Throwing it away, now that the spring water has come, the water is huge, and the width of the river has increased, and the widest place reaches nearly [-] paces.

But just for ordinary bows and arrows, if the more powerful crossbow is fired from both sides, it will still completely cover the entire river.

But Wang Hua gave up because of his reasons.If the Turkic people built the pontoon bridge, it would not take a day or two. Wang Hua is fully capable of destroying their plan, and even brought out the tactic of burning the Yellow River in Lanzhou again, and burned it immediately.So freeing up space in the wild isn't a big problem.

As for the strong crossbow, the bow and arrow technology of the Turkic people is much more developed than that of Tubo. They also have strong crossbows in their hands, and several cities have been destroyed, and they have obtained a large number of weapons from the Tang Dynasty. Among these weapons, there are many strong crossbows used to defend the city.But the problem is also not big.There are also baffles on both sides of the boat.Unless the Turks now also have the new trebuchet in their hands, and huge stones fall from the sky, then it will be a devastating blow to the fleet.Guan Jian Turks must have.

I saw groups of Turkic people divided into two rows, and one row held up shields, which were used to guard against the longbows of the blood battalion.I can't hide this news now.Another platoon held crossbows and started firing at the fleet.

Liang Sitai and He Tongmo didn't panic either, and began to command calmly.

Just as Mo Chuai thought, now that the blood battalion has won successive victories, the morale of the soldiers is high. No matter how many difficulties they face, they behave calmly.

In fact, there was no difficulty. He picked up the shield to prevent the crossbow from falling from above his head, and sailed the boat in the middle of the river, keeping a distance.Soldiers just protect themselves.

However, some counterattacks started, using the range of the longbow to aim at the opponent, and kept shooting the rain of arrows.But Liang Sitai kept shouting: "Save bows and arrows, save bows and arrows."

The Turks on the shore had nothing to do with them, but also because they were protected by shields, they were not very lethal to the Turks on the shore.There is no need to shoot all the arrows, and these will be reserved for use in Shengzhou City.

The blood camp reduced the shooting of bows and arrows. Seeing that there was no effect, the Turks on the shore shouted to each other and began to retreat helplessly.

Liang Sitai didn't bother with them either, and ordered the soldiers to shake the oars vigorously and move on.

It was evening, and it was getting closer to Shengzhou City.

At this moment, many Turkic soldiers appeared on both sides again, which made Liang Sitai vigilant, and he watched the movements on both sides of the strait.But he was negligent, and everyone was negligent.

There were many Turkic soldiers on both sides of the strait, all holding bows and arrows, Liang Sitai was a little puzzled.Turkic menacing this time, let him have a pressure.But what method did they use to pose a threat to their own line of work?Then he saw the mud on the river bank began to loosen, and the ropes stretched straight.

This is the ambush set by Mo Chuai for the blood camp, and the inspiration came to the chariot formation where Wang Hua attacked Jishi Mountain.The river is dominated by blood camps. The Turks have boats, including a group of small boats captured by the Turks. However, the Turks dare not use them, and there are very few people who can drive slave boats.Even if the local residents are invited to drive the boat, the soldiers will react with fear when they board the boat.

To start a war directly on the water, silently won't do it.

But Mo Shui was inspired by the blood camp's battle at Jishi Mountain, not the car formation, but the noose.There is no way to make a noose that is too difficult, such as a winch on a large ship.But the simple noose does not need skilled Han craftsmen, even the Turkic people can make it themselves.

Because the king of the field, Huanuo, came out and became the Turkic people's world. Although most of the Turks were landlubbers, there were still a few Turkic tribe warriors who lived by the river, and they could still swim.Dozens of very long hemp ropes were woven in advance.Of course, steel rope is the best, but due to technical problems, there is no way to realize it.

Then he pulled it to the opposite bank, but he was afraid that Xue Ying would find out that the rope ends on both sides were buried in the soil, and the rope sank under the water.

When the fleet enters the range of the rope, straighten the rope and block the fleet.

In fact, Mo Chuai was planning to catch a big fish.Regarding the two points related to Jian in this twist, Mochuo occupied Dongshoucheng City on the north bank, and Xueying occupied Shengzhou City on the south bank, which made the situation extremely chaotic.Neither the Blood Camp nor the Turks will give up on these two places.Under the fierce Turkic attack, the blood battalion will definitely support weapons and soldiers to guard Shengzhou City.

But I didn't expect Wang Hua to be petty, and only sent [-] soldiers.

This is the first step. The second step is inspired by Wang Hua, Lanzhou's Burning Yellow River.This fever made Mo Chuai dare not build a pontoon bridge lightly, but this inspiration was used in this battle.

When the rope gradually became straight, Liang Sitai realized that it was not good, and he immediately ordered to send soldiers who are good at water to go down the river to cut the hemp rope.

But there were too many hemp ropes, and they were very thick. After soaking in the water for so long, they were not brittle, and they were not easy to cut. Finally, one was cut off, and there was another one in front of the rope to hold the boat sailing.

Some ships collided with each other because of the obstruction of the ropes. Fortunately, many of the soldiers were brought from Luzon. Seeing that the situation was not good, they lowered the sails one by one, and used the oars to row backwards to slow down the speed of the ships. .Then use the ball cushion to prevent the ships from colliding with each other and causing the ship to break.

But the fatal blow has only just begun.

The rope in front was gradually being straightened, and the soldiers on the bank behind them used shields to cover and pushed the small bamboo rafts down the river one by one.But it's not just bamboo rafts, there are many straws and branches piled on it. When they reached the river, the Turks ignited all the flammable substances on it.

Borrowed by the evening wind, these bamboo rafts immediately turned into huge fireballs one by one. With the flow of the river, some rolled back to the shore, and some floated towards the fleet.

Seeing this situation, Liang Sitai knew that he was helpless.He immediately issued another order: "Throw the explosives into the river immediately."

There was a large amount of explosives on board. If the fire was allowed to ignite the explosives, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This is also the second time the blood camp explosives have not come in handy.But the nature is different. A lot of explosives were sent to some villages in Xiazhou, but due to various reasons, not much explosives were used.Then he used the captives to grind hard, and the Turks withdrew.The explosives were recovered.

But now it is thrown into the river uselessly.

Seeing that everyone had finished throwing the explosives, Liang Sitai ordered again: "Listen up, all brothers, remove the baffle immediately, hold the baffle and go down the river, and swim in the direction of Shengzhou. Save your energy. And, again Take a baffle and put it on top of your head to prevent the Turks on both sides from shooting with bows and arrows."

This is a wise choice, otherwise if this continues, everyone will be burned alive.

After giving the order, he started to cry.

Since the establishment of the Blood Battalion, there have been countless battles, big and small. Whether it is a big victory or a miserable victory, it is always a victory.However, this time he failed, and he failed so foolishly that he didn't even have a chance to resist.

The soldiers of the Blood Battalion also had their eyes tearing apart, but knowing that Liang Sitai's order was the only choice, they angrily began to remove the baffles one by one.

Mo Mo on the shore saw this and immediately ordered the soldiers to start shooting.Among the dense crossbows on both sides of the river, many blood battalion soldiers were shot to death by the crossbows without jumping into the river.Even after fleeing down the river, many soldiers were shot to death again under the continuous shooting of Turkic people on both sides of the river.Some were drowned alive by the river because they were not good at water.

Although there were not many soldiers from the blood battalion participating in this battle, it was a complete defeat.Only a hundred or so people who were proficient in water were able to escape to the city of Shengzhou by chance, including Liang Sitai, but in front of the city gate, Liang Sitai almost wiped his neck with a knife because of remorse.It was Zhang Shougui who went out of the city and carried him into the city.But the other group leader, He Tongmo, did not escape.

Although Liang Sitai was persuaded, Zhang Shougui began to feel heavy.No one thought that Mo Chuai would use this trick.In this way, the river course is no longer a convenience for the blood camp, and Shengzhou City has no weapons or soldiers to supplement, but his pressure is even greater.

This battle finally refreshed Mo Chuai, and finally got a bargain from the Blood Camp.

He ordered again: "Do it."

This is an attack on An Jiewu's 1000 fighters and more than [-] clansmen.They should send the fake news back to the blood camp, there is no need for them to stay.

But he didn't expect that when he cheated Wang Hua, Wang Hua immediately cheated him hard, and the trick was even worse.
