Chapter 13 Dilemma (Remastered)
"The Tang army has a strict formation and high morale. At this time, the attack is not an excellent opportunity!" Xian Yu Liang raised his eyebrows and saw that Shi Liver set his attitude softened. He set off the railway while it was hot: "Besides, this Hongshan Fort is like a chicken rib, and it is tasteless to eat. The Tang army has arrived here and is determined to escape the siege of Lingzhou. If Ye Hu led his army north and surrounded Lingzhou City, would the Tang army be indifferent and would naturally abandon Hongshan Fortress and be forced to fight with our army!"
Bu Lugen is not a fool either. When he saw that Shi Liver had a erotic appearance, he plucked up his courage and advised: "Ye Hu, don't hesitate anymore. The Tang people are good at defending, we are good at attacking, and when fighting in the field, we will definitely let the Tang people know the power of our Turkic warriors!"
"This plan is very good!" Shi Liver's eyes shot out sharp cold light: "War is to use his brain! Only a small Hongshan Fort can contain a few people? Do you really think the Tang army would have only a few hundred people?"
The Turkic generals were so disciplined by Shi Lifers that they did not dare to raise their heads. Looking at the fearful gazes of the generals, Shi Lifers was very proud.
"If the Tang people want to rescue Lingzhou, there must be more than this number of troops!" Shi Liver said: "You are idiots, you are all idiots. The mistake is that you think that the Tang army has only a few thousand troops, and we have more than 30,000 people. If the Tang people have only a few thousand troops, will you dare to take the initiative to attack us? You have not seen such a big suspicious point! The Tang army that dares to take the initiative to attack our will be at least one guard!"
In fact, the number of troops in the government is also fixed. However, most of the time, the army of one guard is empty. The army of one guard is divided into two left and right armies, each of which is under the jurisdiction of one, two Xunfu, and two Yi. Together, the ten palaces have a total of 12,000 troops! Although Shi Livershi was not proficient in the Tang system, he at least knew about it. For example, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to support Lingzhou, he would definitely set up a general marching manager. No matter who he was at least at the level of a general, the general directly commanded 12,000 troops.
"Then where can they hide? It's impossible for them to dig a hole to bury themselves, right?" Xian Yuliang asked with a lesson that he had completely lost his temper and still asked dissatisfied.
"Who knows?" Shiliffsai didn't understand where the Tang army was hiding. It was much more difficult to hide in the snow than in the grass and woods. Near Lingzhou, there was a flat horse, and there was no place to hide a large number of troops.
Bu Lugen said: "Ye Hu, isn't that beacon tower hidden in the snow? We haven't found it before?"
"There are only a few people on the beacon tower, and you can hide it by digging a snow pit." Shiliffer said angrily: "If a guard is hidden under our noses, we will urinate and drown directly!"
The Turkic generals were speechless.
"Transfer the order from Ye Hu to gather the troops and prepare to attack Lingzhou City!"
Hearing the order from Shiliver, the Turks began to retreat slowly. Then they reorganized their formation to treat the wounded. Of course, the Turks were very simple and crude in treating the wounded. They cut their throats with a severely dying knife to end their pain and collect all the broken weapons and armor that scattered outside the wall of the corpse!
Duan Zhigan had already had the idea of wrapping the body with horses, but he did not expect that the Turks had only tentatively attacked for a while and there was no sound. Now it seemed that they were no longer attacking, and they seemed to be preparing to withdraw their troops!
Duan Zhigan was also very confused. What happened? The Turkic people changed their nature?
...
In fact, not only Duan Zhigan was confused, but Chen Ying, who was connected to the news, sighed and said, "Qiliffer is really not a foolish character!"
In the first battle of Hongshan Fort, Duan Zhigan's troops won a great victory and annihilated more than 600! Although this record is good, it has no breakthrough impact on the overall situation. The strength of both sides has not undergone fundamental changes.
When Liver was unable to move, Chen Ying also held his troops still.
But waiting is very painful. For Chen Ying's soldiers, every minute and every second is a torment.
When it comes to pressure, Chen Ying is actually the biggest one, because he is responsible for the survival of 4,800 Tang soldiers and more than 2,000 civilians, and of course, there are also Lingzhou soldiers and civilians.
Chen Ying had too few resources, and he had only one chance. As long as he failed, he could only return in shame. Chen Ying naturally did not want to go back so shamelessly, nor did he want to sit back and watch Lingzhou City be destroyed. The most important thing about Chen Ying was that he could not grasp the virtual reality of the Thin Bone Rule City.
More than ten scouts were sent to send back the news of Bo Gulu City, which made it a little difficult for Chen Ying to make a decision.
"Or why don't we go to Bob Leo City first?"
"No!" Chen Ying shook his head determinedly and said to Zhang Huaiwei: "Chi Liver will not set up a attack on Hongshan Fort, and Hongshan Fort is too close to Bogulu City. If we do not attack Bogulu City and the Turks return to help in time, then we will be trapped under Bogulu City and be attacked from both sides, then we will be in a catastrophe!"
Wei Wenzhong murmured: "If the Turks are not deceived, then wouldn't we be in vain?"
"It's not a waste of work!" Chen Ying said: "We at least took down Hongshan Fort!"
In fact, Hongshan Fort is a useless rib in Shilivershi's eyes, and in Chen Ying's eyes, although Hongshan Fort can use the wolf smoke from the beacon tower on the top of the fort to directly convey the news that reinforcements have arrived to Lingzhou. However, this wolf smoke cannot burn casually.
Once Chen Ying's troops ignited the beacon, but failed to suddenly blockade by the Turks and entered Lingzhou City, the morale of the Lingzhou defenders would be severely damaged.
This will make the gain more than the loss.
"Can we do nothing?" Zhang Huaiwei was almost mad.
"No!" Chen Ying said: "Concentrate all the snow sledges on the side, form a small convoy, and reinforce Hongshan Fort!"
"Reinforcement of Red Mountain Fort?"
Hearing Chen Ying's order, Zhang Huaiwei became even more confused.
Chen Ying looked at the snow sledges in the side wing and said, "Put the snow sledges in the side wing and two side wing chariots in parallel, taking into account both the beginning and the end, and marched slowly. He ignored the Turkic sentry, just head and head to Hongshan Fort, as long as the Turkic cavalry attacked, they organized defense on the spot, so that the Turkic people could not understand our reality and reality!"
Zhang Huaiwei had just been preparing to set off, but before Zhang Huaiwei was ready, he saw a team of cavalry coming on the snow.
"Report to the general, Bogulu City urgently reported it!"
"speak!"
"The information was wrong before. There were not 20,000 Turkic people in Bogulu City, but more than 30,000! The scout said gasping: "In addition to the more than 8,000 cavalry that Shiliff had taken away, there are still three thousand royal tent troops and more than 6,000 tribal troops in the city!"
Upon hearing this news, Chen Ying felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Chen Ying used to estimate the Han people, and it would be nice to pick out six or seven thousand young men based on the total population of 20,000. But in fact, this is just the traditional thinking of the Han people. The Turks were nomadic people.
The Han people had the habit of respecting the elderly and loving the young, but the Turks did not. When encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, as a wolf-like nation, the first thing they abandoned is the elderly and the weak, and they will only retain the men and women in their prime. For the Turks, the elderly and the weak are just a burden.
Therefore, the Turks went south and left behind most of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. Almost all those who went south were young and strong. There were also young children, but only a small proportion.
