Chapter 739 Novel guerrilla warfare
In a small town 400 miles south of Yunzhou City, 20,000 Western Turkic cavalry were camping, and the leader was the Right Sage of the Western Turkic King.
"Damn, this Tang Dynasty man is really a soft man. He didn't even see his personal fucking along the way. He fucked and ran away. He didn't even want to find a place to make a fortune." The Right Xian King cursed.
The deputy general around him advised: "What the general said is that the Tang people in the south are all soft eggs, not like our grassland warriors."
Just then, the Huotou Army, who was delivering the food, walked closer with the bucket, thinking that he would take the opportunity to sell it to the general, and he might be able to make a fortune.
"The general doesn't know anything, and it's okay if there is no one. They were scared away by us, but many of the property cannot be taken away. As we walked along the way, the food in the people's homes alone was enough for our military rations.
The Tang people are really rich, and our food has never been so easy."
The Huo Tou Army spoke vividly. I thought the Right Xianwang could be happy, but I didn't expect the Right Xianwang's face to become darker and darker.
Seeing the beauty, the deputy general stepped forward and kicked the Huotou Army away. How could a small soldier understand what the general thought? We have never lacked food, drink, money, we are thinking about killing and fighting achievements. At the least, he would have to make some beautiful women from the Tang Dynasty. Now there is no one to do, and nothing can be done.
"Hmph, have a meal quickly. After eating, go chase and kill those despicable Tang people. More than 10,000 remaining soldiers will definitely not be able to escape our horses." The Right Xianwang snorted coldly.
Everyone did not dare to have any objection, and quickly picked up the food in the bowl.
In the evening, 20,000 elite Western Turkic troops advanced south again for a hundred miles, but the Tang army was still missing.
At this time, it was dark, and there was no village or shop in front of the village or behind. There were dense forests on both sides. The deputy general was worried, "General, this place is dangerous, beware of fraud. We should pass quickly. There is a town thirty miles ahead, so it is better to camp there."
The Youxian King pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes..."
Before the military order was spoken, a sudden bowstring sounded, and then a sharp arrow penetrated straight into the forehead of the deputy general, and the deputy general was dismissed on the spot.
The Youxian King was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat and exclaimed: "The enemy attacks, the enemy attacks, there is an enemy."
Then there were shouts of shouting from both sides, and arrows continued to shoot into the Turkic army, and many people were caught one after another.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, there is an ambush." The Right Xian King ordered.
The cavalry turned around and ran wildly. It was dark and they could not distinguish the enemy's position and number. There were definitely many movements. The terrain was not good for the cavalry at this time, so they could not fight back and could only retreat.
After the 20,000 troops retreated rapidly, two crossbow teams flashed out from the dense forest, each carrying a crossbow and a big trumpet, which was temporarily created by the army and was used for guerrilla warfare.
In fact, this team had only a hundred people, so they could not ambush the army at all. However, with a loudspeaker, the enemy mistakenly thought that the army was ambushing, and they were so scared that they fled in a hurry.
There were a total of 100 such teams, all of which were elite selected by the Tang army. Because I didn’t know where to encounter Turkic cavalry, I simply divided into 100 teams, and whoever encountered them would harass him. In this battle, I did not take any merits for beheadings, but did not take any merits for the number of times the team harassed. Whoever harassed the enemy more times, would make great contributions.
Similarly, the Turks were originally 80,000 cavalry, but in order to pursue and plunder, Mo Hedu was divided into four armies. Although Yuan Gai Suwen ordered his efforts to chase the fugitive army in the south, he could not come empty-handed when he came to the Tang Dynasty. If you have a thousand plans, I have an old idea. It is divided into four armies, among which the south is the pursuit, and the other three armies plunder to the west and east respectively. It is simply too easy.
It is precisely because of this that there were still people from the Tang Dynasty who were unwilling to leave their homes who were killed by these enemies. This is a real war. It is basically impossible to not be hurt by a commoner.
Just after the Youxian King led his team to escape for thirty miles, he encountered a small town. The 20,000 troops quickly occupied and stationed to ensure that no enemies were chasing him at night, otherwise night battles would not be a strong point and would suffer a great loss.
"How much damage is the battle?" asked the Youxian King with a gloomy face.
"General, we have lost 130 warriors and one deputy general."
He pulled out his waist knife and slashed the door post beside him with one knife. The Right Xianwang said angrily: "Defenses are arranged around the town, rest for one night, and take revenge tomorrow.
Since they encounter an enemy, it means they are not far from us."
This inference is indeed reasonable, but it is not accurate enough. What he didn't know was that in the town where they were stationed, there was a team of 100 people hidden.
It was a coincidence that Niu Jinda was happy to see the hunting. Seeing that the guerrilla tactics were novel, he wanted to fight in person and avenge the sacrifice robes, so he left Yuchi Gong and Li Daoyan, and brought a team of 100 people out to guerrilla.
But they happened to miss the Western Turkic army. As soon as they walked to this town, they were preparing to spend the night. They might as well have a 20,000 Western Turkic army pierced into the town. The soldiers under them were about to rush out and fight to the death, but were stopped by Niu Jinda hurriedly. It seemed that the posture did not look like an attack, but rather it seemed to be running away, so it was better to hide the traces than to fight to the death.
So this team was in the cellar of a farmer. As for the war horses they were transporting for, they were driven away from the other side before the army entered the town.
When it was night, the town was quiet. The Right Xianwang drank a silence with hatred, and the soldiers camped in groups of three or five to sleep in the town.
At this time, another team of 100 people outside the town dared to come over. It was the one that was ambushed in the dense forest at that time. The leader of this group had good military tactics and did not pursue it on the spot. Instead, he hid the enemy far behind. When the enemy was sleeping in the middle of the night, he was preparing to harass him again. Anyway, the general said that once harassing, he would have a military merit.
But before they could raise their loudspeakers and shout, a shrill scream suddenly came from the town, and then the whole town was in flames everywhere, and it was instantly in chaos.
"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks!" The Western Turkic cavalry kept shouting.
The chaos in the town made the soldiers patrolling around the vigil and night patrol very depressed. We didn’t see the enemy at night. Why did you bomb the camp yourself? Could it be that you met a ghost?
The Youxian King did not wear armor, so he got up with a wheel and shouted, "Where is the enemy attacking? Fight quickly."
"The general is not an enemy from the periphery, but the brothers who set up camp in the town to stay." The deputy general of the night patrol rushed up to report.
"What? Are there hidden mice in the town?
Okay, I dare to run to us to make trouble, send orders, and leave the patrols outside, and the rest of the troops searched for the hidden enemy forces with all their might. Once they encountered it, they would be killed without any hesitation."
The Right Xianwang is worthy of being a general, and he can see the key points at a glance, but at this time the town was in the center. If you want to counterattack, you must first stabilize the soldiers. In ancient times, the most feared bombing camps were blown up at night. These 20,000 soldiers had become frightened birds after the setting fires of Niu Jinda and others.
When the guerrillas outside the town saw that they were intercepted, it seemed that they would have no effect on us to harass each other again.
"Captain, retreat, your military achievements are gone. I don't know which brother is so brave and dares to attack inside." A soldier advised.
A sentence reminded the captain, "No, he will be surrounded by the enemy, it is difficult to escape. We will quickly support the outside world and find a weak point to help them out."
