Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 89 Paralysis
When Li Shimin captured Luzhou City, Qin Tiancai came to Yunzhou with soldiers and horses.

However, after arriving in Yunzhou, Qin Tian did not start a war with the general of Yunzhou, but set up camp ten miles away from Yunzhou.

Not only that, he also let the lieutenant soldiers drink and have fun every day.

There is no intention of attacking the city at all.

Seeing him like this, Qin Wu was very puzzled.

"Brother Tian, ​​we have all arrived in Yunzhou, why don't you attack the city directly? Besides, you were strict in running the army before, why did you let the soldiers drink and have fun all day long after you got here?"

Except for Qin Wu, the other captains and school lieutenants in the army didn't understand either.

Qin Tian smiled slightly: "Let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses of the Later Sui Dynasty are there in Yunzhou City?"

"Five thousand!"

"How many do we have?"

"Three thousand."

Qin Tiandao: "Three thousand soldiers and horses go to attack the city, but they are digging their own graves. Do you want to die?"

Everyone shook their heads again and again, Qin Tian went on to say: "If you want to capture Yunzhou City, you can only use it out of your wits. As long as our army gives the post-Sui soldiers the illusion that they are vulnerable, they will go out of the city to fight us. Why bother?" Siege?"

After hearing Qin Tian's words, everyone immediately understood Qin Tian's strategy, so they stopped talking and just drank and had fun every day.

But when the generals of the Tang army were drinking and having fun in the barracks, Zhou Yun, the guard of Yunzhou, had already received the news from the spies.

"General, the Tang army only has three thousand soldiers, and none of them are famous generals of the Tang Dynasty."

"Not only that, but the leader of the army is a young man who has never fought a war before. He set up the barracks ten miles away from Yunzhou City. At first glance, he knew that they were scared and had no plans to attack the city at all."

"Also, Tang Jun is simply vulnerable. They drink and play all day long. It's not in a good shape."

The spy told Zhou Yun about the situation. Zhou Yun was in his 40s and was slightly fat. After a little thought, he also came to the same conclusion.

That is, this Tang army is a mob, and they have no intention of attacking Yunzhou City. They may be just a bait for Li Shimin, a bait for besieging Wei and saving Zhao, and forcing his emperor Yang Zhengdao to withdraw his troops.

But after understanding this point, Zhou Yun showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Baits are indeed useful sometimes, but if you use the bait and want the bait to leave alive, then Datang thinks things too simply.

He wants to make this Datang's bait never return.

"Command me to go out with this general tomorrow to fight and destroy this Tang army."

"Here!"

Zhou Yun didn't take Qin Tian's Tang army seriously at all, and even forgot to attack the camp at night, thinking that tomorrow the army would march over and crush them.

Early the next morning, the weather was slightly gloomy, and Zhou Yun came straight to the Tang camp with five thousand soldiers and horses.

When they came to the Tang camp, it seemed that the Tang camp was very disorganized and had no rules at all. Some soldiers wandered back and forth, looking extremely boring.

"Good opportunity, let's call."

Zhou Yun didn't take the opportunity to attack the barracks, but ordered people to beat the drums and call for battle. He wanted to have a formal battle with the Tang army. In his opinion, the Tang army was too weak, and he could easily destroy the Tang army without his own tricks.

When the drums of the Later Sui Dynasty came, someone from the Tang army immediately went to report.

"Lieutenant Qin, the general guard of Yunzhou in the later Sui Dynasty led [-] soldiers and horses to call for battle outside the barracks."

Hearing that Zhou Yun called for battle, Qin Tian smiled wryly, thinking that Zhou Yun was quite a gentleman in fighting this time, but it's a pity, soldiers never tire of cheating.

"Assemble the soldiers and horses, and leave the camp with the captain."

Three thousand soldiers and horses followed Qin Tian out of the barracks. The two armies confronted each other. Zhou Yun saw that Qin Tian was indeed young and not strong at all, so he couldn't help laughing: "Is there no one in the Tang army? Young people like you are here to lead the army?"

Qin Tian didn't refute, and said: "My good generals of the Tang Dynasty are all in Lingzhou City. It is already very good for our school lieutenant to lead three thousand soldiers and horses."

"Captain?" Zhou Yun was shocked for a moment, and then laughed unscrupulously: "You are just an eighth-rank captain. It's ridiculous. Datang actually let an eighth-rank captain lead the army. I laughed so hard. kill me..."

Zhou Yun, the eighth-rank school lieutenant escorting grain and grass, thought he was of low rank. It was the first time he had seen Datang let the school lieutenant lead the army, and this made him even more certain that there was no one in Datang who could use it.

All available people were drawn to Lingzhou by Li Jiancheng.

Zhou Yun laughed, and Qin Tian suddenly laughed too: "The captain seems to be quite tall, eighth grade."

At this time, all the soldiers of the Later Sui Dynasty couldn't help laughing, and when they were laughing, Zhou Yun suddenly shouted: "Kill!"

After all, Zhou Yun still had some skills. Although he felt that Tang Jun was a bit vulnerable, he still wanted to find the best time to attack.

And when the morale of one's soldiers and horses is strong and the enemy's defenders are humiliated, it is the best time.

Zhou Yun issued an order, and five thousand soldiers from the Later Sui Dynasty swarmed to kill them. Qin Tian sneered and said to Hu Shiba: "To capture a thief, first capture the king, and to shoot a man, shoot a horse first."

"clear."

After the two finished talking, Qin Tian waved his hand, and when he waved, the Tang army's camp changed immediately, but if this kind of change was from a high place, it was possible to see that this was a formation formed from fragments into whole , You can let your soldiers and horses divide the enemy army, keep your soldiers and horses always in a strong state, so as to destroy the isolated enemy army.

In other words, the strong overcome the weak.

From the point of view of overall strength, the three thousand troops of the Tang army are in a weak position, and it is difficult to win. However, after the evolution of the formation, they can divide the enemy's army and make the local Tang army stronger, so as to eliminate the weak forces. of the enemy.

In this way, slowly eating away, the enemy can be wiped out.

After the formation was completed, the two sides were already fighting together. Zhou Yun stood in the army and didn't notice anything at first, but when he saw that his troops would always be surrounded and wiped out by the Tang army, he It was only then that he suddenly became suspicious.

When he found that his soldiers and horses were getting fewer and fewer, and Tang Jun was gradually gaining strength, his heart suddenly shook, and he secretly thought that it was not good.

"I fell into this kid's trick." Just after I said something, at some point, a Tang Jun lurked very close to him without knowing it.

Just as Zhou Yun shouted in surprise, that Tang Junfei got on his horse, raised a big knife and killed Zhou Yun.

When his broadsword was revealed, many people realized that he was actually Hu Shiba.

"Stop him, stop him for me..." Zhou Yun shouted loudly, dozens of Sui soldiers came to kill Hu Shiba, Hu Shiba swept his sword across, and a dozen corpses fell under the horse.

"Those who stand in my way die!"

With a roar, Hu Shibafei swung his sword back and forth, and there was no one around who dared to go forward. Seeing this, Zhou Yun quickly turned his horse's head and wanted to escape, but Hu Shibafei had already rushed over, chopped him off with a knife, and killed him. The horse was split in half from the middle.
