Chapter 242: Abandonment, ambush

"Didn't you see that His Majesty hasn't ordered the army to leave camp yet?" Li Jun said with a smile: "In the past, the enemy would just set up camp and His Majesty would order the army to prepare for departure. Now Your Majesty still has

He didn't give us any orders to prepare, so we can see that Your Majesty is probably going to fight a battle here."

"Yes, I'm afraid your Majesty is about to fight a battle here." Zu Ming looked at the Turkic camp opposite and said: "Look, now I am on this side of the valley, and the opponent is on the other side of the valley, in the valley

, the terrain is narrow, if the valley is blocked by Modao troops or heavy armored infantry, the opponent's powerful cavalry will not be able to play a huge role. Even if the opponent drives the people to attack, hey, tens of thousands of people will probably need to pass through this valley.

Time, this time is enough for us to react differently."

"Hey, it turns out that His Majesty has such a reason to camp here." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. But Zu Ming saw it clearly, and suddenly remembered what Lu Zhaoci said back then.

, Cheng Yaojin is both rough and fine, he is definitely a lucky general. I saw him today. He is truly worthy of his reputation. Although it takes some thinking to think clearly about these things, Cheng Yaojin did not know how many victories he won when he traveled across Henan.

, how could he not even understand this truth? Now it seems that the other party does not understand, but is hiding his clumsiness. When he thought of this, Zu Ming glanced at Cheng Yaojin with a deep meaning. He saw that Cheng Yaojin was black

There was a hint of embarrassment on his bright face.

"Dong dong!" At this moment, the sound of drums sounded, shaking the world and spreading far away. Everyone's expressions changed, and a solemn look suddenly appeared on their faces. It has been several days since the Chinese army retreated.

The sound of war drums had never sounded in the big tent. The loud sound at this moment clearly meant that something big had happened. The generals did not dare to neglect and rushed towards the Chinese army's tent. Even Cheng Yaojin put away his face.

With a simple and honest smile on his face, he followed closely behind the generals and headed towards the Chinese army's tent.

"Are you all here? Look!" When the generals entered the tent, they saw a person sitting on the commander's chair of the central army. It was General Chang He, the prison guard.

"Why is it you?" Cheng Yaojin said in shock.

"There is an emergency in Chang'an. Your Majesty returned to Chang'an last night and ordered me to control the generals." Chang He held a sword in both hands, which was Lu Zhaoci's personal sword.

"Listen to the general's orders." The generals did not dare to neglect and quickly said with their hands in hand.

"Well, the generals are summoned this time to discuss how to deal with Jie Li." Chang He did not talk nonsense with the generals, but pointed to the opposite side and said. I saw a huge model in the middle of the big tent. This kind of model

Everyone is familiar with things. In almost every battle, there are such models in the Chinese army's tents. They are just big or small. But the model in front of you is very big. Only those elusive Jin Yiwei can do these things.

Success. The generals glanced at it and saw that there were many embroidered messengers and Jin Yiwei in the darkness.

"This is where our army is now. A thousand steps away is Jieli's camp." Suddenly Chang He stood up, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, pointing at the model. He smiled and said: "These days

, His Majesty has been retreating troops just to get here. The terrain at the entrance of the valley is relatively narrow, which allows Jieli's cavalry to put fewer people on the battlefield. The intensity of the attack will also be much smaller. Haha, more importantly, I believe you

I also saw that it would be impossible for tens of thousands of people to pass through this thousand-step distance at the same time. If Jieli wanted those people of the Tang Dynasty to be the vanguard to force our army to retreat, it would be almost impossible.

Yes, but I would like him to force our army like he did before."

"Hey!" All the generals laughed secretly...

"Zu Ming, you lead the archers and lurk secretly on the mountainside. If the opponent uses the previous method again, after the people have passed by, you order the archers to shoot randomly to buy time for the army. If the opponent has other tricks, you

It depends on the situation. Remember, everything is focused on the overall situation and the victory of this war is the main priority."

"The general will understand." Zu Ming's face hardened, he thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Cheng Yaojin, you lead the Mo Swordsman as the vanguard and open the way for the army to fight from the south of the canyon to the north of the canyon. Everyone along the way, no matter who they are, is your target." Chang He looked cold and snorted coldly.

road.

"The last general takes orders." Cheng Yaojin couldn't help the panic in his heart and said quickly.

"The rest of the troops will be led by me personally as a reserve team. Once the forwards pass through the valley, they will immediately charge at Jieli and destroy all the enemies in front of our army." Chang He hit the model with his right hand, viciously.

said.

"General, what should we do if they divide the army into sections? With hundreds or thousands of people as the vanguard, divide the army into several sections and slowly pass through the canyon. Our army will throw a rat weapon. What should we do?" Zu Ming?

asked cautiously.

"Huh, if that's the case, Jieli's army will definitely be defeated. When the time comes, I will tell you naturally." Chang He's face showed a hint of coldness, unspeakably ferocious. But he did not say it out loud. If he encountered

How would this situation go?

"I will obey your orders, general!" All the generals felt cold in their hearts and quickly responded loudly.

****************************************

"What do you think? It seems that Lu Zhaoci is not ready to retreat." Jieli looked at the canyon in the distance and felt a little bad in his heart. Only then did he understand that Lu Zhaoci was not helpless. He kept

The purpose of retreat is to get here. The canyon is far less spacious than the plains, and the cavalry can play a very small role. As long as the opponent uses Mo Dao Shou to hold the canyon, even if our own army has powerful cavalry, there is no way to break through the opponent's defense.

When he thought of this, Jie Li couldn't help but think about Lu Zhaoci's cunningness.

"Yes, not only does he have to use the terrain to deal with the current predicament, but more importantly, this place is far away from the north bank of the Yellow River. Our army's supplies are very inconvenient. Qin Yong's 7,000 cavalry are roaming across the north bank of the Yellow River.

Our army is intermittent, it will be very bad if this continues!" Tu Li rolled his eyes and said calmly.

"With the existence of this canyon, our army has lost a lot of strength, but the opponent's strength is much stronger because of the terrain. More importantly, I am afraid that the offensive methods used earlier can no longer be used.

That's it." Qibi Heli glanced at Bo Tie coldly, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips. The trail is just a trail after all, and it can't lead to a large platform. Look, the other party can just find a place to solve this matter.

.

Bo Tie looked at Qibi Heli's sarcastic smile, and his face turned red. He naturally knew the meaning behind the other person's smile, and he felt very embarrassed. He wished he could cut Qibi Heli into two pieces, but

But they know that he is just a minister of Jie Li, and Qibi Heli is not only a minister of Jie Li, but more importantly, he has a huge army in his hands, which can even arouse the fear of Jie Li. The only way to confront him is

Death was the only way out. So he could only choose to remain silent and look for opportunities. He vowed to eradicate Qibi Heli.

"What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than the cavalry on the prairie?" Zhi Huan Si Li seemed to have forgotten his original embarrassment under Mo Dao, with a look of disdain on his face.

"That's right, if you don't give it a try, how will you know whether it's successful or not? Send someone to try first and see what the other party does. Then come back and think of countermeasures." Jieli said fiercely, and glanced at the crowd with his eagle eyes.

Finally, he fell on Qibi Heli and said: "Qibi Heli, you are the best general on our grassland. Please escort these prisoners to see what happens and see how Lu Zhaoci is prepared to deal with this situation.

.”….

"Yes. My respected Khan." Qibi Heli took a deep breath. This Jieli is really abominable. He actually took the lead in such a thing. Everyone knows that now Lu Zhaoci has placed his army here.

, obviously you have a way to resist Jie Li's evil tricks. Maybe there is still a trap in front of you. Once you jump into it, you will suffer heavy losses, but you have to jump now.

"Attack!" Ten thousand cavalry, this is the experimental product prepared by Qibi Heli. Although these ten thousand horses are not his own elite, they are his own tribe. Without these ten thousand horses, his strength will be greatly reduced.

Young Master Qibi Heli felt even more uneasy at this time. His eyes were looking at the peaks on both sides. The peaks were not steep, but they were rare commanding heights on both sides. Once there were archers on the mountainside, their side would definitely be there.

The losses were heavy. When I thought of this, I quickly ordered my soldiers to defend carefully.

"General, this man is obviously here to explore the road." On the mountainside, the soldiers cautiously said to Zu Ming: "There are only a few hundred people in front of us at most. General, why don't we let them pass? The brothers behind will probably

Greet him."

Zu Ming thought for a moment. He nodded and said: "Quickly pass the news here to General Chang, and let the general prepare carefully. It would be good if we can keep these ten thousand people."

"Hey! What's going on? Isn't there some kind of ambush?" Qibi Heli looked at the mountain peaks on both sides, with a hint of surprise on his face, and suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, there are only ten thousand of us, and the ones in front are also

It's just a few hundred civilians. It's impossible for 10,000 people to attract the opponent's attention. It's also impossible for hundreds of civilians to threaten the opponent. If our army hadn't been so large in number, it wouldn't have been impossible to adopt such a method! We could get through it.

It's not a big deal even if I waste some time walking through this long and narrow valley. But in this case, when I leave the valley, it will be the time of the war. Even though I have an army of 10,000, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long before I am divided by Lu Zhaoci.

He killed them all in pieces. In the future, when I return to the grassland, how can I have a chance to compete with Jieli and Tuli? How can I ensure that I, Tiele, stand tall on the grassland?" His eyes turned at that moment.

, said to the soldiers around him: "Go back quickly and tell the Khan that there is no ambush here, so you can pass through with confidence."

"Yes!" The soldier heard the words and immediately understood the meaning of Qibi Heli's words. He quickly flew away and went to Jieli to speak.

"Is there really nothing strange?" Jieli Khan glanced at the valley in the distance, with a hint of doubt on his face. After thinking about it, a smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately pointed at Tuli and others and said: "You guys

Each man led a thousand people from the Tang Dynasty and used them as a vanguard to cross the canyon in batches."

"Passed in batches?" Tu Li and others' expressions changed. If so, I don't know when they will be able to cross the canyon!

"I naturally understand Lu Zhaoci's intention. Relying on the favorable terrain here, once our army follows the previous layout and drives the common people as the vanguard to force the Tang army, the canyon space is small. Once we enter it, not only our army's advantages will not be reflected

, and more importantly, when these people enter, their heads have already left the canyon, and their tails are still on the side of the canyon. The control of our cavalry will also be reduced. In this way, when our army comes out of the canyon,

At that time, these common people no longer belonged to us. Now, with more than a thousand common people as the vanguard, I divided the army into dozens of teams. Although the speed is much slower, it is not easy for the other party to make a sudden attack on our army.

As long as their deployment is disrupted, the other party will have no choice but to wait for me. Hehe, Lu Zhaoci, I'm afraid you never thought that I would use this trick to cross the canyon! Let's go!"

"General, you really guessed it right. The other party used this method to cross the canyon!" A hint of excitement suddenly appeared on the soldier's face...

"It's not that I guessed it right, it was His Majesty and the General who won." Zu Ming said calmly: "Your Majesty and the General have already considered all this. I can only say that this Jieli is very unlucky. If I, the General, guessed

If you are good at it, if you cross the canyon collectively, the losses will be some common people at most, and you may still be able to escape unscathed. In the current situation, although it seems to be an advantage, and it seems that you can cross the canyon safely, in fact,

I'm afraid there are big drawbacks. Maybe the Turks may suffer heavy casualties this time. Unfortunately, His Majesty has already returned to Chang'an, and I'm afraid he won't be able to see all this. What happened in Chang'an, and His Majesty was asked to return to Chang'an overnight?

?" When we got to the back, the voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.

"General, I don't understand what you are saying." A look of suspicion appeared on the soldier's face.

Zu Ming said with a smile: "You said in this canyon, after all the Turkic army enters the canyon, what will happen if the army suddenly rushes out from behind?"

"There will be chaos. General Chang's army is leading the attack in front of him, and the army behind is forcing him. He will definitely die." The boss of the soldiers opened his mouth.

"That's right." Zu Ming felt indescribable bitterness in his heart. If this is the case, the opponent will probably burst out with strong combat effectiveness when facing a desperate situation. The Tang army will also suffer great damage. The more unlucky ones are probably those who

Defenseless people. After all, dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious!

"General, this is the message from General Zu Ming." Before the army, Chang He was wearing a chainmail and holding a long spear in his hand. Behind him, there were tens of thousands of cavalry standing behind him.

"It seems that although we can severely damage Jieli this time, I am afraid that our own army will also suffer a lot of damage." Chang He took the detective report and sighed deeply. This person is not as good as God. After all, this Jieli is a cunning person.

It is not easy to be fooled easily. Such a favorable terrain has both advantages and disadvantages. While restraining the opponent's cavalry, it also makes the opponent wary. Even marching uses this method. But this is the result.
