The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

His Majesty also said that Li Fu was most familiar with gunpowder. If he wanted to win a great victory by surprise with gunpowder, Li Fu would definitely help.

This was his role in the army.

Yuchi Gong glanced at the map in front of him and thought of the 5,000 vanguard troops of the Turks.

If he could wipe out the vanguard troops, it would definitely dampen their spirits.

Morale was something that could only be destroyed in this way.

Five thousand people were all eaten up. Although the Turks claimed to have a million troops, in fact, this number was very exaggerated. If the vanguard troops were completely wiped out, it would be a major loss for the Turkic army.

Yuchi Gong was thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter.

It was feasible for Li Fu to personally lead people to make arrangements in advance.

If Li Fu did not personally go up and could not make the most of the gunpowder, it would be difficult to completely wipe out the enemy.

The problem was how to make the most of the gunpowder.

The deafening sound will surely scare the enemy. Even if the people can recover, what about the cavalry's horses?

Once the horses can't be controlled, the cavalry will be useless.

Li Fu saw that Yuchi Gong was still hesitating, so he said to Yuchi Gong seriously.

"General Manager, even if there are only 3,000 cavalry, it is not a small number. We only have 20,000. If we don't do this, our casualties will be very heavy. These soldiers are all good men of our Tang Dynasty. If there is a way, no one wants to sacrifice them."

Li Fu's words moved Yuchi Gong even more.

He sighed and looked at Li Fu with worry.

"I promise you." Yuchi Gong responded to Li Fu: "I will assign a part of the people to you separately, and you lead them to complete the arrangement of the ambush."

"Got it!" Li Fu firmly bowed his hands and clasped his fists in response.

At night, at night, the scouts reported and determined the marching route of the Turkic vanguard.

According to their marching speed, they will reach the ambush location they have determined in advance tomorrow morning.

At this time, their scouts have also been dispersed, inquiring about the road ahead and constantly feeding back to the rear.

The scouts of both sides have been competing in secret.

Relying on the advantage of their own territory, the scouts of the Tang Dynasty have firmly occupied the upper hand.

It's time!

"Deputy General Manager Li Fu!"

"Here!" Li Fu bowed and responded.

"I order you to lead 500 people and set off immediately!"

"Got the order!"

Five hundred people, just right, when it gets dark and the scouts' vision is not very good, they will ambush in advance, and then guard there until midnight, when Yuchi Gong will lead this large force to quietly rush there.

By then, even if there are Turkic scouts groping all the way, they can be caught and killed directly.

In the early morning, when the Turkic army was about to break camp and continue marching, at this critical moment, even if some scouts did not return, they would not be suspicious.

Their biggest reliance was the war horses under their crotch, which could retreat at any time, and the 100,000 troops behind them, which were their confidence.

Chang'an City was just around the corner, and they had to open the way for the subsequent army.

Li Fu, wearing soft armor, took 500 people and boxes of gunpowder and quietly set out under the cover of night.

"People hold their mouths shut, and horses wrap their hooves." Li Fu ordered: "Pay attention to the surrounding movements."

They marched at night and must not be discovered by the enemy scouts, otherwise all their plans would fail.

Before leaving, Yuchi Gong also ordered all scouts to give priority to passing the news to Li Fu, so that Li Fu could grasp the dynamics of the enemy's vanguard at any time.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In such weather, they did not need to light torches during the march. With the bright moon in the sky, they could grope and reach the ambush site.

Along the way, scouts kept coming and going, sending messages to Li Fu.

They also stopped and walked along the way.

After all, they still had to avoid the enemy's scouts.

After marching for more than two hours, they arrived at the location.

At this time, Li Fu gave the scouts an order.

That is, if the enemy's scouts approached the ambush site, once discovered, they would be killed on the spot.

In war, the first to fight are the scouts of both sides, who want to cut off the source of the other side's information and their judgment of the battlefield.

Therefore, scouts are the top priority.

"Come on, pass the order down, assign 100 people to guard the surrounding area, and the rest of the people, take out the gunpowder, and dig a pit according to my order to bury it. When digging the pit, the soil on the surface of the ground should be placed separately, and when backfilling, all traces must be covered."

"Yes!" The deputy general responded.

When Yuchi Gong decided to let Li Fu lead the team personally, he assigned him several deputy generals,Before coming, Li Fu found a few deputy generals and told them his idea of ​​ambush.

After all, even if there were only 400 people working, they had to be divided layer by layer. If Li Fu had to watch everyone in person, he would not be able to see it all by himself.

Therefore, he assigned all the tasks to the deputy generals and showed them the drawings of burying explosives. They only needed to follow the markings on the drawings and lead their subordinates to work directly.

Once the two sides of the valley were blown up, they could block the opponent's way forward and backward, and the blasted rubble could also cause certain damage to the people below.

The purpose was to block them all here and catch them in a jar.

Still taking advantage of the cover of night, more than 400 people were busy in the valley.

"It should take more than an hour to reach the border of Jingyang."

Two Turkic scouts met and looked around cautiously: "Tomorrow, our vanguard will reach Jingyang. This time, we will make a fortune. If we win this battle, we can have a good winter again."

As for why it is said "again"

The grassland does not produce food, and life in winter is not easy. If you want to live a good life, then go south to ask the Tang Dynasty for it. Anyway, if their eagle-like army passes by, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will always admit defeat and obediently hand over all the food and gold and silver to them.

In this way, they will have food to survive the winter and live a good life.

People need to eat, and animals also need to eat...

"Let's continue to move forward for a while. The road ahead is the only way to march. Let's go and explore it."

"Okay." Another scout also responded: "It's so quiet."

"Yes, why is it so quiet."

After saying this, it seems that the surroundings are a little too quiet.

At night in this season, there should be constant chirping of insects...

There are no chirping of insects, it is so quiet, that must be...

There are people around!

And there are quite a few people!

It's broken!
