Take the mall to Datang

"Baolin, this sandy dirt road is really too difficult to walk. If we continue like this, we may not be able to achieve our goal within the stipulated time, or our vanguard will be overtaken by the people behind." Wei Dayou said.

"What's the difference between us bringing so much supplies and the supply battalion? The current speed is already the limit of the soldiers. If this continues, the horses of our Beiya Army will not be able to use them normally." Wei Dayou continued.

"If you encounter a problem, you have to solve it. Call Huo Da and let's discuss a countermeasure." Yuchi Baolin said calmly.

He has seen the situation of the team now, but the military order is difficult. It is absolutely impossible not to arrive at the destination within the specified time. Huo Da is mainly responsible for supervising the march. Now, Wei Dayou came over on horseback and told Huo Da about the matter again. , Hoda was also silent.this

Yuchi Baolin said: "Or let's divide up the troops, Huo Da led a part of the cavalry to put down the heavy supplies and march quickly."

"Dividing troops is not an option. Although our Beiya army has strong combat effectiveness, it is true that there are few people. Most of the time we still have to rely on those firearms. Dividing troops is not a wise decision." Huo Da said.

The three of them discussed for a long time but failed to come up with a solution. Then they called the captain of the Beiya Army to vote on the division plan. The results showed that most people voted for the division, so Yuchi Baolin prepared to divide the troops and move forward.

Doing so is very dangerous. Yuchi Baolin didn't want to see this, so the number of grenades carried by the cavalry doubled again. At this time, the imperial court's bulletin arrived at Yuchi Baolin's side and had just written a message to send back. Unexpectedly It was right at this time.

Yuchi Baolin saw that these were two letters, one was from His Majesty and the other was from his teacher. After reading the letters, Yuchi Baolin ordered: "Now stay where you are and rest."

After the letter was handed over to Wei Dayou and Huo Da for reading, they felt relieved that they didn't have to rush so much now, but they were a little reconciled, Huo Da said: "This pioneer's sudden cancellation of the operation is a big blow to the morale of the soldiers. Influence."

"The military order is like a mountain. We must obey the arrangement. In fact, this is good. Although we can't be a pioneer, at least we don't have to delay the fighter. Besides, didn't the teacher's letter say that we must take advantage of the Beiya army? Although it can't be done at the current speed. The vanguard, however, must be able to reach ahead by chance than Manager Li's team, so we will have a lot of time to prepare." Wei Dayou said.

Yuchi Baolin didn't speak. He was thinking about the information mentioned in Yuan Shanxin's letter, so he said, "Actually, there is another choice."

"You see, this is the route of the troops behind. Although we are passing through the trail, it doesn't take long to join them. My plan is to dispatch a thousand-man cavalry as the vanguard to continue forward, and the rest will divert. After meeting with most of them, we immediately handed over those materials to Director Li according to the distribution standard, and then followed him to meet at the destination. By that time, our vanguard may have already figured out the situation of the enemy." Yu Chibao forest road.

"That's a good idea, I agree." The three voted immediately.

"Well, that's the decision. I'll lead 1000 people to move forward. Wei Dayou Huoda, you two, hurry up and join Director Li." Yuchi Baolin said.

The soldiers of the Beiya army who had been on their way for several days in a row were miserable, and the men led by Yuchi Baolin still carried twice as many grenades before leaving.

The speed of the Beiya army is very fast. Although they are very tired after several days of driving, they can get some rest when they are marching. The only shortcoming is that the rest of the horses is the key to restricting their speed.

Even if you are like you, their journey in the past few days is still very big. The people behind have to rest for half a day to wait for Li Jing's troops. As the forward, Yuchi Baolin has already reached the destination and is now starting to correct and prepare to send humanity. The East Turkic garrison is conducting investigations.

Li Jing had already received a letter from the Ministry of War and did not need to understand the situation. Originally, there were [-] hand grenades assigned by His Majesty in his team. He believed that although such weapons were not powerful, they could deal a fatal blow to the enemy if used properly. There were [-] hand grenades distributed among the Beiya army, and now Li Jing's subordinates showed that almost everyone had three of them.

With the new-style firearms, Li Jing became more confident. The Beiya Army's load was reduced, and the speed of ordinary troops became the same as that of ordinary troops under normal physical exertion.

It's a pity that there is no communication in this era, and the divided teams all start the war according to the previously negotiated time.

After Li Jing's troops arrived at their destination, the spies sent by Yuchi Baolin had already handed over the collected information to Li Jing, and the next battle was up to the general managers, and the Beiya Army began to repair as soldiers.

Soon after receiving Li Jing's order, the deployment to attack the Turks was launched in Yinshan according to the scheduled time. Yuchi Baolin and the others broke away from Li Jing's command in this matter. When Yuchi Baolin left the enemy, he didn't know Li Jing's psychological shadow. How big is the area? At this time, some people actually disobeyed his orders, but so what, the team led by Yuchi Baolin has privileges. After the overall deployment is completed, they can choose to act alone and do not need to treat anyone. Be explained.

This is where the Beiya Army is really different from other guards, so the Beiya Army is a double-edged sword. According to Yuchi Baolin’s letter mentioned in Yuan Shan’s letter, when Li Jing did not launch an attack, they rushed to the back of Yinshan Mountain Deployed, this is to cut off the enemy's retreat.

If the combat application of Li Jing's troops could not annihilate the enemy at all, then they would not have to do it. Military merit is actually not that important to them. Judging from the current treatment, they are already the best among the guards.

What they want to ensure is that the battle is foolproof, and they will win the greatest victory at the least cost.

Chapter 441 Start Deployment

Li Jing's troops were already preparing. He was very helpless when the Beiya army suddenly acted alone at this time. He, the commander, had nothing to do with His Majesty's decree.

The camp where the army tent had just been stationed for a short time did not order to light a fire for cooking, because the smoke from the stove would be easily spotted by the enemy, so they had to eat some dry food to barely satisfy their hunger. This was originally unnecessary, but because Li Jing wanted to seize the opportunity Night raids, so the soldiers can only eat these things.

Compared with eating dry food, what they hope to get is military exploits, and all achievements are made with their lives. The quiet departure of the Beiya army did not attract too many people's attention.

At night, the members of Jieli Khan at the foot of the Yin Mountain were eating, and there were no singers in the big tent who sang and danced while everyone was eating. Not long ago, he had a falling out with his nephew Ashina Shibobi, who was Tuli Khan. However, the two forces still fought for this, but the nephew had never beaten his uncle, so there was an incident of wanting to unite with Datang, and then he was caught and beaten by his uncle.

Isn't it precisely because of this that the spies who were in the team of Jie Li Khan gave Datang the first-hand information. There were no laughter and laughter in Jie Li Khan's tent, but there was a haze, because they already knew Da Tang Tang was going to trouble them with Master Liang, and everyone was thinking about countermeasures while eating.

Most of Jieli's men will be generals, and several powerful tribes have been following him all the time, but the Turkic problem has become very serious recently, which made Jieli Khan feel jealous, and sooner or later he sent more patrols sentry post.

The spies sent by Li Jing have been observing for a long time, but they have never been able to get close because the nomads are such a seemingly simple matter of camping and sleeping. Once there is any trouble, they will leave quickly with some valuable things, and then gather and fight back. Such plundering wars are very common in the north, so their vigilance is very high.

In addition, the guards also observed for a while, and then the spies immediately went back to report that the army of the Tang Dynasty was approaching quickly under the leadership of Li Jing. This time, Zhang Gongjin was in charge of the vanguard of the battle. Those who are talented, although they suffered a defeat last time, winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs. For generals like them, it would be nice to lose and fight back. After the ups and downs, Zhang Gongjin will finally be ashamed.

If it wasn't because Li Jing hadn't given the order to attack, I'm afraid Zhang Gongjin would have rushed over with his people at this time. Junling is the military order, even Zhang Gongjin had to obey.

"Mr. Li, how long do we have to wait?" Zhang Gongjin asked.I was very anxious at this time, he had already regarded all the Turks as his credit, because he reported the reason for sending troops to the Turks at this time, and it was also adopted by Li Shimin, so he took the current measures.

If you say that Gongjin is also a person who died with meritorious service, otherwise "24 Lingyan Pavilion" would not have his portrait, not to mention his hard work, and he is still young and promising. In the early Tang Dynasty, he suffered the defeat of the Turkic people, and all [-] soldiers under him died. Qiu Ta wrote it down, and since then he fled to Li Jing and began to study how to deal with the Turks.

"Hongshen (Zhang Gongjin's word), now is not the time to wait until late at night. Turkic people's work and rest time is somewhat different from ours. If we act early, I may not have the expected effect." Li Jing said, in fact, it is very simple to wait. When the other party fell into a deep sleep, even though the generals of the Tang Dynasty had taken sufficient rest during the day, they would still be sleepy in the middle of the night, and they could only work hard.

At this time, Yuchi Baolin and the others had found an opening in the north of Yinshan Mountain to ambush. Yuchi Baolin was holding the map and began to mark on the fan. At this time, he did not forget to ask Huo Da to call someone to ambush the grenade at the intersection.

The Yinshan Mountains run from east to west, including Langshan, Wulashan, Sertengshan, Daqingshan, etc. The drier the more eastward you go, now there are dwarf forests on the hills where Yuchi Baolin is located, which shows that they are now in mountainous and alpine areas It can be said that they have found a good position to ambush the enemy in this place, and what needs to be worried is whether the rout will pass under their noses.

"Huo Dadu sent some scouts out to find out the news." Yuchi Baolin instructed.

"Wei Dayou, go and place the [-] turrets we carry along this position on the map. If the Turks don't go in front of us and need to pursue them, you can just give up these turrets, but there must be some left behind if you encounter them In case of accident, ignite all the gunpowder and destroy the equipment." Yuchi Baolin said in a deep voice.

"If this kind of situation really happens, I will arrange for someone to take care of it." Wei Dayou said.

If other subordinates encounter this situation, it may be difficult to give up such valuable equipment, but they are different. They were warned during the hunter training that they don't want to transport these things when they first set off. Therefore, the purpose cannot be delayed, but fighting is another way.

Wei Dayou is very decisive about this kind of thing. Firearms are no better than weapons. They know the damage effect of this firearm, so if they encounter a large group of enemies, they will destroy these equipments immediately.

"General, Deputy Chief Zhang's vanguard has already started marching and is expected to launch an attack on the Jieli Department after two incense sticks." The spies came to report.

"Explore again." Yuchi Baolin said.

Yuchi Baolin had no idea, but based on the deduction on the map, if the Jieli tribe was attacked, they would flee in this direction. Now he was not sure whether Li Jing would wipe out all the enemies.

"The Beiya army is now in a state of combat. Without my order, no one can make a sound or launch an attack." Yuchi Jingde said to Wei Dayou and Huo Da, and the orderly standing beside Yuchi Baolin became nervous at this moment , because Yuchi Baolin gave an attack order, and he, the messenger, would immediately act. It's no wonder that he, a recruit, said he was not nervous.

The Beiya army drilled according to the requirements of the artillery, but this does not mean that they are all artillery, and there are [-] cavalry trained by ghost hunters. This is the strongest fighting force among the guards. Handle skirmishes.

According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 20 troops from the Jieli Department gathered near Yinshan Mountain, while Li Jing now has only 5 troops at his disposal. The other 5 troops are led by Li Ji, Chai Shao, and Xue Wanche. It is within his jurisdiction, but it belongs to joint operations.

Yuchi Baolin had already prepared an ambush near Tieshan Mountain, looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky, and it would be even darker when it merged into the night. He couldn't help saying a poem mentioned by Yuan Shan: The people of the Long March have not yet returned. But let the flying generals of Longcheng stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain."

This situation made him feel deeply. Suddenly his heart sank and his eyes became sharp. The whole person's aura changed in an instant, and a chilling aura emerged leisurely.

Wei Dayou and Huo Da who were beside them also felt something in their hearts and said softly: "But let the Dragon City Flying General stay, and don't teach Huma to go to the Yin Mountain. We are the Iron Mountain Flying General today, and we must show the Turkic people a good look."

Chapter 442 The trend of defeat

The captain and several captains of the Beiya army were all present. Hearing such a poem, he immediately thought of the scene of the common people being invaded by foreigners, and then Li Guang, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, came to the fore. Today they will do this to protect the territory of the Tang Dynasty. People's lives and attack the Turks.

Shan Daozhen is one of this group of captains. He is very calm at this moment. He has never heard Yuan Shan say this poem, but now that he has stopped, he feels something in his heart. It is to mobilize the atmosphere, thinking that this is really a good way to improve morale, as expected of the teacher's disciple.

Because Shan Daozhen is also Yuan Shan's student, Yuchi Baolin still takes more care of him, but things in the army depend on strength, and he believes that capable people will always seize the opportunity to make their mark.

Shan Daozhen's original official position was Sima in the frontier garrison, and he was promoted to captain because of his outstanding performance in training. Although these two official positions are actually of similar ranks, Sima has no title after all, and how can the Ministry of War recruit people? Wei is different, this is a small boss who can lead two to three hundred people under his command, and it is very easy to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.
