Chapter 272
Yangchang Ridge, Ridge Broken Heart.

The blue sky is full of horses, and the night is even more rampant with tigers and wolves.

Nine out of ten people will die, and it is difficult for one person to die in hell.

Yangchang Ridge, people heartbroken.

This is a local folk song.

Yangchang Ridge is at the junction of the eastern and central parts of Yinshan Mountain.It's not like Li Bai wrote that in the difficult road to Shu, one man should be the husband, and ten thousand husbands can't open the weird terrain.On the contrary, the road at Yangchang Ridge is very wide, and it is from this road that Mo Chuo led an army to attack Hedong twice.

Nine of the ten people here died, and it was difficult for one person to pass through the gate of hell. This does not refer to the road, but to the robbers.Because the mountain road of Yangchang Ridge is more than ten miles long, there are many black forests on both sides, and it is at the junction of the two countries, a no-man's land.However, although there are constant wars on the border, non-governmental trade exchanges are frequent.

The Central Plains needs fur and livestock from Saibei, and herdsmen in Saibei also need cloth and utensils from the Central Plains. This long mountain forest road gives opportunities for bandits to haunt.If it weren't for the big business groups passing through these places, they would be robbed in all likelihood, and they would kill people and steal goods.Of course, among these thieves, there are Tang people, Khitan people, and even Turkic people, and they are composed of all kinds.And often because of the division of forces, they fight each other.

For this group of lawless robbers, the Tang Dynasty government was very disgusted, and the Turks were also very disgusted.After all, this group of people even killed Turkic businessmen.But it is useless when a small-scale army comes. When a large-scale army comes, it flees and cannot be found in the vast forest.

In particular, this situation gave many thieves from the two countries, as well as the murderers who were on the run, a chance to defect here.The joining of these murderers made this group of bandits even more intensified.

But thieves are thieves. Hearing that the Turkic army retreated, and the army on the left might pass by here, they all immediately disappeared.

Standing on the mountain path of Yangchang Ridge, Wang Hua inspected the terrain, the surrounding woods were quiet, only the chirping of birds.

This is the place where the Turkic left army must pass.If they wanted to outflank themselves, they had to follow the north of Yin Mountain and outflank to the northwest. Otherwise, if they ran along the south side of Yin Mountain, there would be very few roads to cross the army, or cross Yin Mountain and outflank from the west side of Yin Mountain?That time was also delayed.

Now when the troops from other places in the Tang Dynasty saw the Turkic people coming, they had no time to hide. Even Mochuo didn't expect that there were thousands of them, and they really dared 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 beyond the Great Wall, which is a vast prairie. Unless you harass yourself, you have no chance of winning a big victory.

The mountain forest road for more than ten miles was quickly inspected.

Wang Hua pointed to the road and said: "Uncle Kong, Guo Youying, look, there is still a continuous forest outside the mountain road."

This is the Tang Dynasty, and maybe a few hundred years later, it will be very difficult to find such a black forest stretching for one or two hundred miles in Yinshan.After passing the mountain road, there are still many forests, but they are not as dense as the two sides of Yangchang Ridge, and they stretch for dozens of miles.

"If I lead the army, on this road, I must pass through this forest, and then camp behind to rest."

Behind Yangchang Ridge, there is a grassland with a wide field of vision, and there is also a small lake for the horses to drink.

"If we set up an ambush here, we can still gamble on a chance. If the enemy comes from a long distance, we must cross Yangchang Ridge before dark. The timing is more beneficial to us. Of course, if the enemy camps outside the woods and rests overnight," Wang Hua inspected with his eyes. Although the Turks are cavalry, they can't rely on plundering grain and livestock from the Turks to replenish themselves like they do.After all, after passing the Yin Mountain, they belonged to their ethnic group.Therefore, a lot of logistics must be carried, he said: "Then they may pass here (from twelve o'clock to four o'clock) from the end of noon to the beginning of Shenshi."

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

This depends on the enemy's itinerary. If they arrived here after two o'clock in the afternoon, a cautious commander would camp outside the woods and send scouts into the Black Forest to investigate.The Black Forest is so big, not to mention a few scouts, even if 5000 people were all crammed into it, there would be no one to be found.

Then the evolution of the matter happened to develop towards the bad moment in Wang Hua's mind.If the enemy arrived before noon, then Bi Ran would forcefully cross Yangchang Ridge to get here, no matter how hard he rushed, it would be sunset, or even dark!
But this is beyond Wang Hua's grasp.

In fact, after fighting the war for nearly a year, Wang Hua was nothing more than sharing weal and woe with the soldiers. In addition to the rewards from the court, he secretly took out some money to be helped, so that the soldiers had no worries about their families, let the soldiers have a will to die, and displayed extraordinary combat effectiveness .The second is to use some of Taizu's tactics. If the enemy is strong, I will yield, and if the enemy is weak, I will fight. Even if I fight twice, I will create a situation that the opponent did not expect, and I will succeed in one attack.

If he really wanted to confront the enemy face to face, Wang Hua didn't think he would be better than Mo Chuai in the formation of troops.

This time there is still a sneak attack, but the difficulty will increase many times. They will face the [-] most powerful Turkic warriors head-on, and they will still be in the process of marching.

Wang Hua came to the middle of the mountain path again, which is also the only high point of the entire mountain path. There is a gentle slope, about 70 meters high.Not very high.Wang Hua said to Guo Zhiyun: "Guo Youying, at the beginning of the battle, you take five hundred soldiers and take the top of the slope as a boundary. When the enemy has crossed half of the people, you must take down the top of the slope and kill all the enemies. This is also the most important task of this battle."

Guo Zhiyun nodded, but his face was cautious.

Cutting it off is equivalent to dealing with half of the enemy, and although the mountain road is wide, it is a mountain road after all, and the widest part can only accommodate a dozen people to pass through.In this mountain road, the party with the most people is not advantageous. At the end of the day, there is only a competition for who is braver.Coupled with cutting off half of the enemy, it may not be an opportunity.Then, relying on the prestige of the great victory, he turned his head to deal with the other half of the enemy.And the other half of the enemy soon reached the vast prairie.If ordinary soldiers are afraid, they will have an idea that they will be safe if they escape from this mountain road.

There are more soldiers who have ideas and start to flee to the outside of the mountain road, and the entire camp of the enemy will collapse.This method of play is also found in military books, around three and one, making the enemy think that they have a chance to escape, but instead lose the will to fight.An example is the Battle of Feishui. Zhu Xu shouted from behind and fled together. Hundreds of thousands of former Qin soldiers forced the tens of thousands of Eastern Jin troops to be defeated.

But before that, the enemy will inevitably counterattack crazily and forcibly break through the entire army. Whether it will end in one hour or two hours, no one can predict.Therefore, his five hundred soldiers had the heaviest task and the chance of sacrifice was greater.

They were discussing, and the rear was also discussing. Wei Yuanzhong and Xue Na were gathering in the camp, looking at the map.

Regarding Wang Hua's impression, Wei Yuanzhong also thought that Wang Hua was very talented, not just talented.He is not a flattering villain, and no one thinks like this, even Lao Wu would not think like this.But this Wang Xiaoer is a bit indiscriminate between right and wrong, which often annoys him.

Chang'an is too far away from Hebei, and it was only a few days before they got the imperial court's express report.According to Old Tang, let's cooperate.

But how to cooperate? What is Wang Hua's plan?Dajun, no, where did Xiaojun go?Not to mention these few people, even Xue Na's old man, Lao Xue is still alive, and there is no way to judge them.

They had no choice but to draw tens of thousands of troops to follow.But even Xue Na didn't dare to be greedy for merit, not because he was timid, but because his soldiers were not as skilled as others, his troops were not as strong as his opponent's, and his cavalry was not as many as his opponent's.Although he was following, he was far away from the quietly sipping Chinese army.Just sent countless scouts to inquire about the news.

Finally, I heard the news that Wang Hua led an army to the Turkic Yazhang a few days ago.

Seeing this information, Old Wei smiled wryly and said, "General Xue, you little nephew is stronger than you."

Xue Na has been stationed in the border area for the past few years, and the two of them have not met yet.Of course, in the past, it was the Xue family of the Wang Huahui Association, but the situation is different now.After the battle beyond the Great Wall, Wang Huayin has become one of the famous generals, even if they met each other, it was only a real recognition of the master-student relationship.In ancient times, the teacher-student relationship was highly valued.

Old Xue squeezed his beard, a little proud, after all, this is also the glory of his father.He said: "Don't mention it, even my fifth son's son said that my uncle didn't learn the martial arts of my father, and was going to join the blood camp. Let the fifth suppress him."

Xue Na's fifth child is Xue Chuyu, who is also a mighty general, but he did not go to the border. Now the three guards are serving as the captain of the Zhechong Mansion.Everyone had some impressions. After thinking about it, Li Duozuo said, "You mean that little Xue Song?"

When he mentioned it, even Wei Yuanzhong thought of it, a teenage boy with a strong arm, often flaunts through the streets with a group of friends in the capital.However, this young man was bold and did not do anything bad, so no minister impeached him.

"Exactly."

Luo Wuzheng became very happy, and said: "You, the authentic descendant of General Xue, don't learn art from you, but learn from a nephew who is a half-way monk? But, old Xue, let alone , In my opinion, your nephew's way of fighting is really more like General Xue's way of using his troops than yours."

When Li Duozuo heard this, he nodded and said, "It's really similar."

Xue Na used troops sparingly, and rarely sent troops directly. On the border, he paid attention to soldiers who surrendered without fighting.He was not as good as his Lao Tzu in terms of military use. Later, when he attacked the Xi family, the [-] army was wiped out, and he was ridiculed by the Xi people as Xue Po.However, he can also be regarded as one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and then defeated the Tubo Turks.Moreover, the prosperity and wealth he enjoyed in his life far surpassed that of Old Xue.

But Wang Hua used troops, took risks, defeated the enemy with less, and made good use of strange soldiers (mainly for large-scale use of troops, Wang Hua was not sure, it is better to use an elite soldier, which is more flexible, but others don't know, and they don't think so ), good at taking risks, winning with bravery.He took five hundred people and rushed into the eight thousand Turkic army camp without hesitation.He also pitted captives, which is almost the same as Xue Rengui's way of using troops.

After laughing, you have to think about it, and if you don't want to, there is no way to cooperate.

Several of them are famous generals, and even Lao Wei has been to the border to serve as the ambassador-in-chief several times.Familiar with the military.

Looking at the marching map, the direction of the Turkic three-way army marching was marked.It is impossible for the ones on the right side to cross Yanshan Mountain, go out of the pass, and see it clearly on the vast prairie or Gobi Desert. It is impossible for Wang Hua to create the opportunity of being in the prosperous place that night.

In the middle, Xue Rengui and Hei Chi Chang Zhi (who also made a surprise attack on the barracks of the famous Tubo general Lunqin Ling with [-] soldiers, but because the opponent's soldiers were many and brave, only a few hundred Tubo soldiers were killed. The Tubo army was in chaos, General Ba Di hurriedly led the army to flee for his life, and rescued Li Jingxuan's army) the courage was concentrated on Wang Hua alone, and he did not dare to attack this army.

But they didn't know that Wang Hua really wanted to fight, but the method was different.

Then only the left is left.

Looking at the map.Now the maps are not so standard. Some are [-] kilometers long, but only [-] kilometers can be marked on the map, and some are [-] kilometers long, and [-] kilometers can be marked on the map.However, the approximate terrain is still marked, especially the march map, which is very strict on the terrain.Don't look at this small map, but the lives of many scouts and soldiers were exchanged for it.

black forest!Yangchang Ridge!
Several people said in unison.

It's not that their military talent is higher than Mo Chuu's, but it's easy to analyze Wang Hua's plan and preparations.Mo Chuai didn't know the details, so there was a deviation.

Only the terrain here is Wang Hua's sniper opportunity to win more with less.

Luo Wuzheng, deputy governor of Youzhou, said: "If this Wangying general really has the courage, I will fight with him."

"What's the matter?" Xue Na asked with slanted eyes.Anyway, it's my own family, so we need to help each other.

"I just wrestled with him."

The three of them laughed again. Wrestling is a nomad's forte. No matter how powerful Wang Hua is, he will not be Lao Luo's opponent. This is pure bullying.

But after guessing the possibility of Wang Hua's actions, he began to plan. On the surface, he continued to follow silently, and secretly drew out an army of [-]. Xue Na led it himself, and followed behind the Turkic East Road, but it was far away. To prevent the Turks from killing the carbine.After all, soldiers are not as brave as others, and they are on horseback, so the chances of winning are not great.At the same time, scouts were sent to pay attention to Yangchang Ridge.

Wang Hua came back from Yangchang, and the fifth group of people also arrived.

Get into action now and lead your army into the Black Forest.At this time, the Turkic army on the left was only a day away from the Black Forest.

On March [-]th, the scouts finally sent news, but the news was not good for Wang Hua and the others.The Turks arrived, but set up camp on the outskirts of the forest.This means that they will enter the forest area the next morning and arrive at Yangchang Ridge in the afternoon.

Wang Hua looked at the soldiers ambushing around him, they were still at a loss, their eyes were full of excitement, if they succeeded in this battle, they would be more credited than the ones in Fanzheng.This is also the confidence that has been brought to them by repeated victories.

Wang Hua called Kong Heizi and Guo Zhiyun to report the news.Whispered: "We are going to prepare for a fierce battle."

The two nodded their heads. Although they are brave and fearless, it is hard to say whether they will win or lose after this battle.Even the victory may be a tragic victory again. It is very doubtful how many soldiers are left of the three thousand soldiers.

From the next day before dawn, the scouts lurked in the forest again to observe the enemy's actions.But when he came back to report, Wang Hua was stunned again.The number was right, about 5000 people, but they did not continue to set off, but entered the outer forest to lurk like their own group of people.

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

This lurking is obviously to deal with the army of the Tang Dynasty.This is all surprising news.So immediately sent scouts out of the forest to inform the other party.However, the scouts came back to report after a while, and they couldn't lurk out unless they were discovered by the other party.Because in the woods outside the Black Forest, the Turks sent countless scouts.

Of course, you can't force your way in. Once you break into the enemy, you will know it, and you will lose the effect of surprise soldiers.

The three of them summed it up again, and decided to formulate the second set of methods. The first set of methods will continue to be used, but just in case, if the Datang army really enters the forest to ambush, they will immediately rush out from behind and encircle the left side of the Turks. army.If the army of the Tang Dynasty does not enter the forest, continue to follow the second method.

However, all three were disappointed for a while.If they get in touch with the friendly forces outside and cooperate with each other, once they fight, they will attack from behind, which will deal a great blow to the Turkic people.Now it is possible that because of fear of Lin Dao, the army of the Tang Dynasty withdrew back.

Outside this forest, Xue Ne was equally depressed, and he followed with his army a hundred miles away.This is a safe distance, both offensive and defensive.Also according to their expectations, the Turks entered this forest road.But none of the scouts sent out came back.

Feng Lin Mo enters, and he is not sure whether Wang Hua is ambushing in the woods of Yangchang Ridge with the blood battalion.The army had to be stopped and stationed.

Yege, the Turkic left commander in the woods, was also very depressed.It has been known for a long time that this Tang army is trailing behind, but because of the long distance of hanging, there is no counterattack.Now he wanted to use this forest area to set up an ambush, but the other party was not fooled and just killed a few scouts.

One day passed.

At night, Wang Hua sent out scouts again, but after a while, the scouts came back to report again. Now that night is coming, Turkic not only did not relax his vigilance, but added many scouts in the woods.

This makes Wang Hua even more convinced that there is a Tang Dynasty army outside, but he can't contact him, is this depressed?

Lao Xue was also depressed. He had the same idea as Wang Hua and sent out scouts.It's just that his scouts are very miserable, because of the lack of vision, they are all close to death.But because of the night, two scouts escaped carefully.Let Lao Xue know where the Turks are ambush.

But what about Wang Hua?If they ambushed in Yangchang Ridge, they would not be able to contact themselves.It is possible that because of the connection, the scouts were sent and the identity was exposed.Could it be that they are not in Yangchang Ridge, and some of them guessed wrong?
Ye Ge was also very angry.Obviously, it is possible that the army of the Tang Dynasty knows that they are ambushing in the woods, and you return without success, so you have to go back.Are you tired like this?But the Tang Dynasty army stopped within a safe distance and set up camp.

Wang Hua, Kong Heizi, and Guo Zhiyun scratched their scalps.

What's the matter?If Tang Jun entered rashly, the fight would have started long ago. If an experienced Tang Jun saw this forest, he would also know that Feng Lin would not enter, and would withdraw with the army.After all, after leaving Yangchang Ridge, it is a prairie, or the kind of prairie where the grass does not grow very vigorously, with a wide view and flat terrain. When you arrive here, it is a paradise for the Turkic people.

But it doesn't look like that now.The sun started to set again, and the Turks were still lying in wait in the forest.

Within this distance of less than a hundred miles, nearly [-] troops camped, ambushed, and depressed.

PS: I originally wanted to blow it up again today, but I didn't dare to blow it up, because I was afraid that the quality could not be guaranteed.But at least three more, more than [-].By the way, please ask for the monthly pass for tomorrow. If you have a guaranteed monthly pass, please vote for it.Finally, I would like to say a word, although this month's ranking is a glorious defeat, the specific reason is,,, people can't be honest.So really thank you all.
