Chapter Thirty-Seven

The blue sky horse face was snaking, and the dark night was even more rampant...

Nine out of ten people will die, and one person will never break into the gate of ghosts.

Yangyanling, people are heartbroken.

This is a rumor circulating in the local area.

Yangcai Ridge is at the junction of the eastern and central parts of Yinrang. It is not a strange terrain like Li Bai’s writing about Shu Road, and ten thousand men cannot open. On the contrary, the road in Yangcai Ridge is very wide. Mochu led his army to attack Hedong twice from this avenue.

Nine out of ten people here died, and one person could not pass the gates of hell. It was not a road, but a bandit. Because the mountain road of Yangcai Ridge is more than ten miles long and there are many black forests on both sides. It is also at the junction of the two countries, and it is a place where the three are not caring about the uninhabited areas. However, although the border wars continue, civil trade exchanges are very frequent.

The Central Plains needed fur and livestock in the north, and the herdsmen in the north also needed cloth and utensils from the Central Plains. This long mountain road gave bandits the opportunity to appear. If the big merchant group had not passed by these, they would have been robbed and would have killed and robbed. Of course, among these thieves, there were Tang people, Khitan people, and Turks, which were formed in various ways. And they often fought each other because of the profits of their power.

The Tang Dynasty government was very disgusted with this group of lawless robbers, and the Turks were also very disgusted with it. After all, this group of people even killed Turkic merchants. But it was useless to come a small army, and a large army came and fled, and could not find it in the vast forest.

This situation especially gave many thieves from both countries and the murderers who were fleeing to capture them. They all defected to this group of thieves. The addition of these murderers made the bandits become more and more powerful.

.

But thieves are thieves. When they heard the Turkic army retreating, the left-wing army might have to pass here. They immediately became deserted.

Standing on the mountain road of Yangcai Ridge, Wang Huazhan looked at the terrain. The surrounding woods were quiet, with only the chirping of birds.

This is where the Turkish Left Army must pass. If they want to encircle themselves, they must encircle northwards along the northwest, otherwise they will run along the southwards of Yinshan and cross the army, or cross the Yinshan and encircle from the west side of Yinshan? Then time will be delayed.

Now, when the army in other parts of the Tang Dynasty saw the Turks coming, it was too late to hide. Even Mochuo did not expect that his thousands of people would really dare to attack their tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, this place is also a good place to set up an ambush. After passing here, it is outside the frontier, which is a vast grassland. Unless you harasse yourself, you will have no chance to achieve a great victory.

The mountain road that is more than ten miles long was observed soon.

Wang Hua pointed to the road and said, "Uncle Kong, Guo Youying, look, it's just outside the mountain road, or a continuous forest."

This was the Tang Dynasty. After a few hundred years of work, I wanted to find such a black forest of one or two hundred miles in Yinshan. It was very difficult. After passing the mountain road, there were many woods. It was just not as dense as both sides of Yangchan Ridge, and it stretched dozens of miles away.

"If I were leading the army, on this road, I would definitely pass through this forest and then camp and rest in the back."

Behind Yangchan Ridge is the grassland with a vast view. There is also a small lake for war horses to drink.

"If we set up an ambush here, we can also bet on a chance. If the enemy comes from afar, we must cross Yangchan Ridge in darkness. If that happens, the enemy will consume a lot of power because of the road. In addition, it is dusk here, which is more beneficial to us. Of course, if the enemy camps outside the woods and rests for a night." Wang Hua measured with his eyes. Although the Turks were cavalry, they could not rely on plundering food and livestock like himself to supplement them. After all, after crossing Yinshan, it belongs to the scope of their people. Therefore, they must carry a lot of logistics, he said: "Then they may pass by twelve o'clock to four o'clock from late noon to early Shenshi."

Speaking of this, he frowned and said, "That was the time when the day was the strongest, and it was not very beneficial to us. But there was no way to do this, so he had to gamble."

This depends on the enemy's itinerary. If you arrive here after 2 o'clock that afternoon, a cautious commander, Bi Ran, will camp outside the woods and send scouts into the black forest to inquire, of course, it is also a good example. The black forest is so big. Not to mention a few scouts, even if 15,000 people are stuffed in, there will be no figures.

Then the evolution of things is just about to develop into a bad time in Wang Hua's idea. If the enemy arrived before noon, then Biran would force his way across Yangchanling and arrive here. No matter how he catches it, it will be dusk or even dark!

But this is not something that Wang Hua can master.

In fact, after nearly a year of war, Wang Hua was nothing more than sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. With the court's rewards, he secretly took out some money to be helped, so that the soldiers had no worries about their families, and made the soldiers die and exerted their combat effectiveness. Some of the military tactics of the second general Taizu were used. If the enemy was strong, we would let them go, and if the enemy was weak, we would fight, even if we fought twice, it would be a situation that the opponent could not imagine.

If you really have to face to face and confront the enemy, Wang Hua doesn't think he will beat Mochuo in the formation. This time he will still have to attack, but the difficulty will be increased many times. They will face the 15,000 most powerful Turkic warriors head-on, or while they are marching.

Wang Hua came to the middle of the mountain path again, which was also the only high point of the entire mountain path, with a gentle slope, about sixty or seventy meters high. It was not very high. Wang Hua said to Guo Zhiyun: "Guo Youying, at the beginning of the battle, you brought 500 soldiers. With this slope top as the boundary, the enemy came out when they crossed half of the people. Be sure to take down the slope top and cut off everything from the enemy. This is also the most important task in this battle."

Guo Zhiyun nodded, but his face was cautious.

Cut off is equivalent to dealing with half of the enemy. There is also a mountain road that is wide, after all, it is a mountain road, and the widest part can only accommodate more than ten people through it. In this mountain road, the number of people is one or two is beneficial. At the very moment, only those who are brave are brave and then cut off are half-knowing, eight may not be a chance. Then, with the power of great victory, they will turn to deal with their other half of the enemy. And the other end of the other half of the enemy will soon reach the vast grassland. If ordinary soldiers are afraid, they will have the idea that it will be safe to escape from this mountain road.

There are many soldiers who have thoughts and start to escape outside the mountain road, and the entire enemy's camp will collapse. This kind of magic weapon war also contains books on the war of three and one, which makes the enemy think they have the opportunity to escape, but they lose the intention to fight. The example is the Battle of Yuanshui. Zhu Xu shouted behind and fled together. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Former Qin defeated the Eastern Jin army, which had won tens of thousands.

But before this, the enemy would inevitably counterattack frantically and forcefully open up the entire army. Whether it would be the end of one hour or two hours. No one could predict. Therefore, his five hundred soldiers had the heaviest task and had a greater chance of sacrifice.

They were discussing, and the rear was also discussing, and Wei Yuanzhong and Xue Ne were gathering in the tent to check the map.

Wei Yuanzhong also believed that Wang Hua was very talented, not just talented, but also a person who flattered him. No one thought so, and Lao Wu would not think so. But Wang Xiaoer was a little indifferent to his right and wrong, which often annoyed him.

Chang'an is too far from Hebei, and they received the court's express news, only a few days later. According to Lao Tang's collective thoughts, let's cooperate.

But how to cooperate? What plan does Wang Hua have? The army is wrong. Where did the army go? Not to mention these people, even Xue Ne’s old man, Xue is still alive, there is no way to judge.

Come

He had to draw out tens of thousands of troops to follow him. But even Xue Na did not dare to be greedy for merit. It was not that he was timid. The soldiers were not as skilled as others, the troops were not as strong as the opponent, and the number of cavalry was not as large as the opponent. Although he followed, he was far away from Mochu's central army. He only sent countless scouts to inquire about the news.

Finally, I heard the news that I continued. A few days ago, Wang Hua and his army were about to kill to the Turkic tent.

Seeing this information, Old Wei smiled bitterly and said, "General Xue, your junior nephew is stronger than you."

Xue Ne has been stationed in the border areas in recent years, and the two have not met yet. Of course, if it were in the past, it was Wang Hua who joined the Xue family, but now the situation is different. Wang Hua has been secretly squeezing into famous generals after a battle outside the border. Even if they recognize each other, they are just truly recognizing the relationship between master and apprentice. In ancient times, the relationship between master and apprentice was highly valued.

Lao Xue pinched her beard and felt a little proud. After all, this was also the honor of her father. He said, "Don't mention this. Even my son of Lao Wu said that my uncle had not learned the martial arts of my father and wanted to join the Blood Crown. Let Lao Wu be suppressed."

Xue Ne's fifth brother is Xue Chuyu, who is also a powerful general, but he has not arrived at the border. Now the three guards are the chief lieutenant of Zhechong Mansion. Everyone has some impressions. After thinking about it, Li Duozuo said, "Are you talking about that little Xue Song?"

When he mentioned it, even Wei Yuanzhong remembered it. The teenager had strong arms and often roamed with a group of friends in the capital. However, this young man was generous and did not do anything bad, so no ministers impeached him.

“That’s right.”

The monk laughed and said, "You, the authentic descendant of General Xue, don't learn skills from you, but follow a monk who has become a monk halfway through what skills can you learn? But, Lao Xue, don't say it, in my opinion, your nephew's method of military use is really more like General Xue's method of military use than you."

When Li Duoji heard this, he nodded and said, "It's really a bit like a slight look."

Xue Ne used troops to cherish his troops and rarely sent troops directly. On the border, he was more important than the soldiers who defeated others without fighting. He was not as good as his brother. Later, when he attacked the Xi tribe, his army was wiped out by the Xi people and was ridiculed as Xue Po. However, he was also one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and then defeated the Tubo Turks. Moreover, the wealth and prosperity he enjoyed throughout his life was far greater than that of the old Xue.

However, Wang Hua used troops, took risks, defeated the enemy with fewer risks, and made good use of surprise soldiers mainly for large-scale use. Wang Hua was not sure, so he might as well use an elite soldier, which was more flexible, but others didn't know that, and would not think so. He was good at taking risks and won with courage. He led about 500 people and rushed into the 8,000 Turkic military camps in a stupid way. He also cheated the enemy. It was almost the same as Xue Rengui's way of using troops.

After laughing and making fun, I have to think about it, but I don’t want to come out. There is no way to cooperate.

Several of them were famous generals, and even Old Wei went to the border to serve as ambassadors, and they have been very familiar with military affairs several times.

Looking at the marching map, the directions of the three Turkic armies were marked. The impossible on the right side were all crossing Yanshan Mountain and out of the pass, on the vast grassland or on the Gobi Desert, which was clear at a glance. Wang Hua wanted to create the opportunity to be in the special day that night, which was simply impossible.

In the middle, even generals Xue Rengui and Heichi Changzhi had also performed the military camp feat of attacking the famous Tubo generals of Qinling with 500 soldiers. However, because the opponent had many brave soldiers, they only killed a few hundred Tubo soldiers, which caused chaos in the Tubo army. The general hurriedly led the army to escape, and concentrated the courage to rescue Li Jingxuan's army on Wang Hua alone, and did not dare to make up for the idea of ​​this army.

But they didn't know that Wang Ran really wanted to fight. But the methods were different.

Then there is only the left.

The map is not so standard now. Some are as long as 100 kilometers long, and can only mark 50 kilometers on the map, while others can mark 40 kilometers on the map. But the approximate terrain is still marked. Especially the marching map, it is very strict in marking the terrain. Although this small map is used, it is only for the lives of many scouts and soldiers.

Black Forest! Yangchang Ridge!

Several people said again.

It’s not that they have higher military talent than Mochu. They just learned about Wang Hua’s plan and preparation, which was easy to analyze. Mochu didn’t know the details, so there was a deviation.

The only terrain here is the chance to sniper with less than the others.

Luo Wuqian, deputy governor of Youzhou, said: "The general of Yijiang Guizhan really has the courage to do it. He gathered his hands and said, "What's wrong?" Xue Ne asked with his eyes slanted. After all, he was his own family. He wanted to help him.

"I just fell with him ten or eight."

The three of them laughed again. Wrestling was the best show for the nomadic peoples. No matter how good Wang Hua is, he would not be Lao Luo's opponent, he was just bullying.

But when Wang Hua guessed that it was possible, he began to plan to make a plan. On the surface, he continued to follow Mochuo, secretly drawing out a 10,000 army. Xue Na personally followed the leader behind the Turkic East Road, but it was far away to prevent the Turkic people from killing and retaliating. After all, the soldiers were not as brave as others, and they were on the back of the horse, so there was no chance of victory. At the same time, they sent scouts to pay attention to Yangcailing.

Wang Hua came back from Yangyan, and the fifth person arrived.

Start the action immediately and lead the army into the Black Forest. At this time, the Turkic army on the left was only one day away from the Black Forest.

On March 14th, the scout finally heard news. But this news was not a good thing for Wang Hua and the others. The Turks arrived, but they set up camp on the periphery of the forest. This meant that they would enter the forest area the next morning and reach Yangcaoling in the afternoon.

Wang Hua looked at the soldiers lying around him, but they were still confused. They all had an excitement in their eyes. If they succeeded in this battle, the contribution would be greater than that of Jian Jian. This was also the confidence that they won repeatedly.

Wang Hua called Kong Heizi and Guo Zhiyun, informed the news and whispered: "We want to prepare for a fierce battle."

The two nodded, although they were not afraid of death. However, it is hard to say whether to win or lose in this battle. Even if they win, they may be a miserable victory again. How many people are left in these three thousand soldiers is very suspicious.

Before dawn the next day, the scouts once again lurked in the forest and watched the enemy's actions. But the report from the back made Wang Hua stunned again. The number of people was correct, about 15,000, but they did not continue to set out, but walked into the forest outside and lurked like their own people.

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Friends."

This lurking was obviously against the army of the Tang Dynasty. This was a surprising piece of news. So the scouts immediately sent out a forest to inform the other party. However, the scouts came back to report and could not hide out unless they were discovered. Because in the woods outside the Black Forest, the Turks sent countless scouts.

Of course, you can't force yourself to break through. You will know it once you break through the enemy, and it will lose the effect of a surprise weapon.

The three of them concluded again and decided to formulate a second set of methods, and the first set of methods continued to be used. But in order to prevent the situation, if the Tang army really entered the forest, they immediately rushed out from behind and surrounded the Turkic left-wing army on both sides. If the Tang army did not enter the forest, continue to follow the second set of methods.

However, the three of them were disappointed. If they were in contact with friendly forces outside and cooperated with each other, once they fought, they would kill from behind, which would have a great blow to the Turks. Now it is possible that the Tang Dynasty's army retreated because of fear of Lin Dao.

Outside this forest, Xue Ne was also depressed. He led his army to follow him a hundred miles behind. This was a safe distance, which could attack or defend. According to their expectations, the Turks entered this forest avenue. However, none of the scouts sent could come back.

When Fenglin Mo entered, he could not guess whether Wang Hua was ambushing the woods of Yangchan Ridge with his blood camp. He had to let the army stop and station. The Turkic left commander Yege in the woods was also very depressed. He had known that this Tang army was following behind, but because of the long distance he hung, he did not fight back. Now he wanted to use this forest area to set up an ambush, but the other party was not deceived, but just killed a few scouts.

One day passed.

At night, Wang Hua sent scouts again. However, after a while, the scouts came back to report. Now that night is coming, the Turks not only did not relax their warnings, but instead added many scouts to the woods.

This made Wang Hua even more determined that there was a Tang Dynasty army outside, but he could not contact him.

?

Lao Xue was also depressed. He and Wang Hua thought of it, and he also sent scouts. However, his scouts were very miserable, and because of their lack of vision, they would die for life. But because of the night, two scouts ran back carefully, letting Lao Xue know where the Turks were ambushing.

But what about Wang Hua? If they were ambushed in Yangchen Ridge, they could not contact him. It is possible that because of the contact, they sent scouts to expose their identity. Could it be that they were not in Yangchen Ridge, and how many of them guessed wrongly?

Yege was also very angry. It was obvious that the Tang Dynasty army knew that it was ambushing in the woods and you had to go back without success. Are you tired of following like this? But the Tang Dynasty army stopped at a safe distance and set up a camp.

Wang Hua and Kong Heizi, Guo Zhiyun scratched his scalp.

What's going on? If the Tang army had entered rashly, it would have started fighting long ago. If an experienced Tang army saw this forest, they would also know that Fenglin should not enter and retreat with the army. After all, it was a prairie after leaving Yangcao Ridge, and it was still a grassland with not growing too vigorously. It had a wide view and a flat terrain. When it came here, it would be a paradise for the Turks.

But it doesn't look like this now. The sun began to set in the west again, and the Turks were still ambushing in the forest.

Just within a distance of less than a hundred miles, nearly 30,000 troops were camped, ambushed, and ambushed. Depressed.

Prevention: I originally wanted to explode again today, but I didn’t dare to explode, for fear that the quality could not be guaranteed. But at least three updates were offered, more than 15,000. By the way, I would like to ask for tomorrow’s monthly tickets. If there is a guaranteed monthly ticket, please vote. Finally, I want to say something. This month’s list will still be honored even if it fails. The specific reason is "I can’t be honest."

Therefore, I really thank you everyone.
Chapter completed!
