Chapter 538

The sky was approaching dusk, and the Yinshan Mountain was covered with a golden glow.

Wang Hua looked at Zhang Shougui and Lun Gongren, they were about to part here.

This time Wang Hua brought a lot of soldiers, [-] troops.

For this mission, however, there were still fewer soldiers.In fact, speaking of it, it was also his own trouble.

When he was in Fengzhou, he and Zhang Renyuan jointly built four cities. The first one in the east was just across the river from Shengzhou. Safety.

But this time, when Chang Yuankai's army was withdrawn, it became an empty city, and instead benefited the Turks.In order to evacuate the captured people, a pontoon bridge was built on the Yellow River.There are all kinds of harm in the Yellow River, but only wealth.The Yellow River starts from Qingtong Gorge and goes straight to Hekou Town. There are no major tributaries entering, and the water is gentle. There are a large number of plains on both sides, namely the Yinchuan Plain and the Hetao Plain, and there is not even a flood season or a cold season.So it is very easy to build a pontoon.

This surrendered city just became the barrier of the Turkic pontoon bridge.

If you want to stop the people captured by Mo Chuo in Henan, you must first capture Dongshoucheng and destroy the pontoon bridge.But it was not easy to win. There were [-] Turkic troops stationed in Shengzhou, of which [-] soldiers were stationed in the surrendered city of Hebei.The city wall is already very tall, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it will take a short time to take it down.Otherwise, the Turkic soldiers guarding Shengzhou will immediately use the pontoon bridge to defend.Moreover, Mo Hegan's respected brave general, Mo Ju, is leading an army of [-] to attack Shanyu's Dufu Mansion, and they will come back at any time to respond.

If he was allowed to come back, Zhang Shougui's [-] troops would return home without a feather.Then this sub-strategy will fail.

Then there is the city of Zhongshoujiang, which was built against the Anbei Protectorate.There is also a second pontoon bridge built by the Turks, with only a thousand soldiers stationed there.Compared with the difficulty of attacking, it is a little easier, but Wang Hua's appointment together made the generals a little worried.Wang Hua asked Lun Gong and his son to lead two thousand soldiers to attack.

Now that there are so many fierce generals in the blood camp, why did Wang Hua use this unknown Tibetan to carry out this mission.

But this surrendered city is what Wang Hua is most confident about.The difficulty was low. If Lun Gongren and his sons couldn't even complete this task, the Lun family would not have established such a great reputation after the Tang Dynasty, and Li Longji would not have visited Lun Gongren's bed in person.

Wang Hua himself also led an army of four thousand.

Three thousand Turks were also stationed in Fengzhou and Xishoucheng.And stay away from the Turkic army.But he is the most difficult.
The Yellow River starts from Huaiyuan City and flows not far downstream. In later generations, it diverged into a shoe-shaped fork in the north. In this shoe-shaped watershed, the north side later became a dotted line. The river surface was very small, and there were countless ditches and small rivers. densely distributed.But most of these are artificial rivers, but in the Tang Dynasty, the two Yellow Rivers in the south were somewhat wide, and Fengzhou was in the middle, which seemed to be a Hexinzhou. The area of ​​this Hexinzhou was several times larger than that of Chongming Island later.

Fengzhou is on Hezhou, and the Turkic people in Dahezhou did not build bridges, because there used to be simple stone bridges connecting Hezhou from north to south.Therefore, Wang Hua not only captured the Xishou surrendered city on the north bank of Hezhou, but also broke through the Turkic bridge and defended it.At the same time, the bridge on the south bank must be destroyed so that Wang Hua can use the convenience of the Yellow River to quickly transport supplies in the next battle.

Also, Wang Hua is very likely to use the Yellow River to set up a battle formation hundreds of years ago.Liu Yu's Moon formation!
Not only that, Mo Chuo used his intuition to arrange many backhands before knowing Wang Hua's intention.Wang Hua also had an intuition that the Turkic people might send reinforcements south to support Mochu.

It is impossible for Mo Chuai to be unable to go back, not only him, but also the two ministers, Abodagan and Tunyugu.Once these three people were all killed or captured by themselves, more than half of the Turkic people would fall.But the most convenient path is undoubtedly from the west side of Yinshan Mountain, and the West Shoucheng City will become the main road at that time.

At that time, it is possible to face ten times the oppression of the enemy, so on this side, Wang Hua himself will preside over it.

In this battle, both Wang Hua and Mo Chuu showed keen military sense, and they also had many good advisors under their command. Before the battle started, there was already a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

In addition to these three surrendered cities, there is another city on the east side of Shizuishan, which Wang Hua named Anyuan City.It was this Anyuan City that made Mochuo unable to go south to Lingzhou along the Yellow River, and made Lingzhou City reduce the burden of defense when Mochuo invaded.

But the other three cities are now Wang Hua's burden.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lun Chengxin walked over and said, "Yingdu, come and take a look."

Wang Hua followed him to the top of the mountain, took the binoculars, and looked to the west.Countless people came over on the western mountain road, mixed with cattle, sheep and luggage.Some people were better, some were in ragged clothes, and there were some Turkic soldiers on both sides, yelling at them with whips in their hands.

This is another group of captured civilians, so Mochuo sent soldiers to move to Turkic.

Wang Hua dropped the binoculars, turned around and asked, "In terms of honesty, what do you mean by calling me to see it?"

The young man muttered: "There are quite a few people in this group, and there are not many soldiers on the other side. Anyway, we have come to Yinshan Mountain, and it is getting dusk now, shall we rescue them?"

Wang Hua asked: "In terms of honesty, do you think we can keep all the Turkic soldiers here without any accidents when we send troops at this time?"

Can't answer in terms of honesty.

What is an accident?Unexpectedly, there were only about a hundred Turkic soldiers escorting this group of people, but there are mountains on both sides. If something unexpected happens, it is still possible for the soldiers to use the mountains to escape.

"Besides, if we kill these Turkic soldiers, how will these people be resettled?"

But speaking of this, Wang Hua was also frustrated.He knew that these days, the Turkic people were frantically transferring people. When they left Lingzhou, they learned that they had kidnapped eight or nine thousand people. After these few days, it is impossible to know how many people there are.

There was no way, but it still made him unhappy to watch what happened under his nose.

The two walked back to the hidden ravine silently.

It got dark in no time.

Wang Hua let the soldiers eat dry food, looked at the sky, and said, "Let's go."

The [-] troops broke out of Yinshan Mountain, and began to divide into three places from the plain, rushing towards their respective targets.

Although this time silently transferred the people's supplies to the Turks with confidence and boldness because of the lack of troops in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, it was not without benefits. There are patches of endless green grass, and the smell of the Yellow River blowing in the air.Therefore, the three armies galloped across the field without anyone noticing.

At the same time, on the south bank of the Yellow River, there was also a large army galloping.Silently's son-in-law Huobo Jieli Fashi Ashibi is running to Fengzhou with 5000 people.Along the way, apart from resting on the road for two and a half nights, they were almost on their way.Seeing that Toyosu was approaching, Ah Shibi didn't even agree with the soldiers to rest.

Russian Special Service also set off from Shengzhou. He only rested for a while in Shengzhou. He greeted the general Yibili who was stationed in Shengzhou, and immediately flew to the northeast. This is to call Moji to win immediately The state returned to defense.After the greeting, they have to cross the Yin Mountain and go back to recruit the army for further support.

Although he was not as smart as the two counselors beside him silently, he had guessed something about his father's arrangement.

Silently doing this is not only for the common people, but also may be a showdown with the blood camp.

But he only guessed a little bit, the silent battle will definitely be a battle. At this time, the blood camp will fight several times first, and then go through the Tubo war. Although the morale is high after several victories, the losses will not be low.At this time, defeating the blood camp, or hitting hard, just weakened the strong momentum of the blood camp.
But he will not completely destroy the blood camp, this is to let the blood camp continue to survive, and internal friction with the Tang Dynasty.In this way, neither the Blood Camp nor the Tang Dynasty government will distract him.When it's almost exhausted, he will start again to pick up a bargain.

But fortunately, when Mo Chuan received the information, it was several days late, otherwise Wang Hua would have no chance of winning this battle.

With [-] of his men, he ran wildly in the wilderness, not realizing that the crisis was coming.The field is empty and there is no human habitation, and because of the negligence of the Turkic people, there is not a single spy patrolling.
Soon they arrived in front of Xishou surrendered city, and in front of a ditch a few miles away, Wang Hua reined in his horse, and everyone stopped.

Wang Hua took a binoculars and looked towards the surrendered city. There were a few soldiers patrolling above, obviously because they were relaxed and absent-minded. Several people gathered together and were talking.Because of the darkness, it was difficult to see clearly, but none of the soldiers looked out of the city.

Wang Hua turned around and named the names of more than [-] soldiers. Most of these soldiers were brought from the south. They were light in body, and then nodded to Li Xuejun.

Li Xuejun understood and got off his horse without saying anything.

More than [-] people touched it quietly.When we came to the moat, Wang Hua was still in Fengzhou when the moat was built.So we know that although the moat is not big, it is very deep because of the water from the Yellow River.He got into the water lightly and took the lead in swimming across.The others also swam over, regardless of the wet clothes on their bodies, they touched the bottom of the city wall for a while, and more than [-] people stuck to the corner of the wall. Li Xuejun took out a hook from his arms and threw it on the city wall.The scratching hook caught on the wall stack and made a slight sound.When several Turkic soldiers heard this sound, they stood up together, probably the leader, and shouted in Turkic, "Who?"

Wang Hua made a gesture, and everyone held their breath together, and pressed their bodies tightly against the city wall.

A few Turkic people looked around, but there was no one on the top of the city, and they looked outside the city, but there was no one there.They all thought they heard it wrong, so they sat down again and started talking, laughing cheerfully from time to time.

Li Xuejun cast a questioning look at Wang Hua, Wang Hua nodded and said in a low voice, "Be careful."

"I know," Li Xuejun finished, grabbed the rope, and immediately climbed towards the top of the city like an ape.

Soldiers in the distance and under the city are very worried.But Wang Hua was very calm in his heart, such as the Turkic people are heavily guarded, this method is not advisable, but now the Turkic people have never thought of it, this is the best method.He was even more assured of Li Xuejun's skill.

After a while, Li Xuejun climbed to the top of the wall, but she didn't make a move, but hid her body in the shadow of the wall.

Then Wang Hua also began to climb up, but not as good-looking as Li Xuejun, but still very fast.Still didn't make a move, and it wasn't until the fifth soldier climbed up that Wang Hua rushed over viciously.At the same time, Li Xuejun jumped onto a roof like a wild goose, and after several jumps, he came to the gate of the city.

At this time, the Turkic soldiers guarding the city had seen Wang Hua and the others, and shouted loudly.But it was too late, Wang Hua raised his knife and cut down a soldier.Several other soldiers rushed forward, and the battle ended within a minute.

However, at this time, the soldiers in the city were also awakened. Seeing the situation on the top of the city, they saw a woman opening the city gate, and shouted.Wang Hua ordered his men to put down the suspension bridge, and he himself ran to the bottom of the city wall.

The gates of the city were opened, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered.

At this time Turkic also reacted, a group of Turkic soldiers rushed over on horseback, and he saw the sound of countless horseshoes galloping towards this side in the distance, one by one galloping towards the gate of the city, this is to close the gate again.

But at this time, Wang Hua started from the side, jumped onto the leading horse, stretched out his hand, chopped the warrior off the horse, and slammed the horse's head.The horses behind did not have time to give way, and several horses collided violently, and several Turkic soldiers were immediately knocked into the air.But Wang Hua got up again, borrowing the horse, from time to time raised his sword and fell, one by one Turkic soldiers were chopped down by him.But more and more Turkic people are coming, and Wang Hua is no longer able to resist it alone.

But at this time, the suspension bridge was finally put down.

Four thousand soldiers rushed into the city like a whirlwind.

But Wang Hua didn't stop, grabbed a war horse, and rushed to the south of the city.

Ah Shibi was still running wildly with the soldiers, but his speed had slowed down. His confidant said: "General, let's rest for a while. If this continues, everyone will not be able to bear it."

Not only the physical strength of the soldiers can't bear it, but even the physical strength of the war horses can't bear it.

Ah Shibi said: "Soldiers are expensive and quick, you don't understand this truth."

"No, General, we can first send a trusted aide to notify the Toyosu garrison."

Ah Shibi looked at his subordinates, each of them was out of breath, sighed and said: "It's up to your opinion."

Hearing that Ah Shibi finally asked everyone to rest for a while, everyone burst into cheers.

However, Ah Shibi was still afraid of accidents, so he immediately sent three scouts to deliver a letter to Fengzhou City.

Adulli, the defender of Fengzhou, is drinking with the crowd. This is a spoil of war captured from the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Hearing that Ah Shubi sent someone to deliver an urgent letter, he dared not be negligent, and immediately opened the city to let them in, and several scouts briefly explained the matter.Adulli was a little suspicious, attacking the city, although he was not very vigilant, he also sent scouts to pay attention to the situation during the day.Not to mention the enemy, he didn't even see a single figure of the enemy, how could the blood battalion fall from the sky.

At this moment, one of his subordinates came in to report: "General Adus, something is wrong, the Blood Camp has reached the city of Xishou surrender."

Adulli was shocked when he heard this, but he still reacted quickly, and said to Ah Shibi's subordinates: "The Khan really has a clever plan, the blood camp is here, you go back immediately, notify the general, and ask him to lead the army to support immediately."

Said that he took the army by himself and set off from Fengzhou City.

Before arriving at the Beihe Bridge, another subordinate reported that the city of Xishou surrendered had fallen.

He thought about it for a while, and he would definitely not be able to take it back, and the blood camp came prepared.Thinking of this, he reacted quickly, issued an order, and immediately retreated to the south of the bridge. This ancient stone bridge is several hundred meters long, but the bridge deck is not wide.It is a natural checkpoint.

As long as this stone bridge is guarded, it is equivalent to guarding Fengzhou City. The blood camp came in a surprise attack, and there will not be many people.As long as Ah Shibi's army arrives, the Blood Battalion must retreat.

This is a very wise approach. Wang Hua left 1000 people to clean up the Xishou surrendered city, and brought other soldiers here. After looking at it, he couldn't help frowning.

Then the other soldiers from the Blood Camp arrived, and Jiang Zhengdao, a regiment of the Yuheng Army, asked, "Battle Supervisor, what should we do?"

Now rushing over like this, the sacrifice points are very heavy.This is the first battle. If serious damage is caused, it will be even more difficult to follow up.

Wang Hua didn't answer. He was looking at the Turkic people on the other side. There were not many people, only one to two thousand people, and some of them were holding torches.

But Wang Hua soon saw a doubtful point, that is, he made a violent attack, and these Turkic people were not nervous at all.This is wrong, not to mention the Iron Army, whether it is the Blood Camp or the Tubo people, when faced with such a situation, even if they have a strong heart, they are somewhat flustered.For example, when Tuoba Tao defended Kuizi Mountain, although they used bloody battles to stop Zong Chuke's tens of thousands of troops.But when I first saw tens of thousands of troops coming, I was still very nervous.

It is impossible for the Turkic people to be more courageous than the soldiers of the blood battalion, and it is not the first time to fight against them.

This made him a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, he ordered: "Get off the horse."

Dismounting means changing the longbow, and now even Wang Hua himself has changed the longbow.After all, although the iron arm is good, compared with the longbow, it is more clumsy to exert force, and it is a waste of energy.Compared with the range of the two, the longbow has a longer range.

One by one, they dismounted from their horses and rushed to the south of the bridge under the cover of their longbows.

But this time Wang Hua seemed to have encountered a not-so-weak opponent. Seeing the range of the longbow, Aduli gave another order: "Back."

Tell the soldiers to step back a hundred steps.When the blood battalion rushed to the south of the bridge, there were about [-] to [-] soldiers, and they were about to use their longbows to forcefully cover the cavalry behind them and rushed across the stone bridge. Adulli shouted: "Attack."

Although the number is a little less now, these Turkic soldiers know that a large army will arrive in a while, so their morale is very strong.

Two hundred steps away, the war horse arrived in just a quarter of an hour.Even under the shooting of the longbow, the soldiers fell down one by one.But in the end, Adulli led the people and rushed to the king's screen, forming the advantage of the cavalry over the infantry.
