Chapter 635: Overcoming Mo Yue
Mo Yuetusi returned to Mo Yue City, and he immediately met Ma Sang, the general of Mo Yuetusi in his chieftain's residence. In fact, in the Tang army's central tent, he did not mention Ma Sang at all. But when he was talking to Ma Sang in his residence, he said a lot about how he negotiated with the Tang army, and added how to ask for credit for Ma Sang and Tang army, which made Ma Sang very grateful because Ma Sang was a martial artist after all, and his mind was not as complicated as Mo Yuetusi. In addition, Mo Yuetusi's performance was very successful. Ma Sang didn't believe it and couldn't help it immediately. The two of them planned to surrender Mo Yuetusi.
The main details are that the east gate guarded by Masang's 5,000 elite troops of Moyue Tusi were replaced by Masang's 2,000 personal soldiers were replaced by the west gate of Moyue City. After careful discussion and decision, the two gates were given to the head gate to surrender because these two gates were very important to Moyue City. Not far from the east gate is the Tubo military camp. As long as the Tang army entered the east gate, they could quickly control the Tubo elite cavalry in the camp and would not give them a chance to resist. The west gate is the seat of the official office of Moyue City. As long as they control this place, they would control all the officials of Moyue City big and small.
Therefore, when Mo Yue Tusi delivered his letter to the Tang Army camp, Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng both showed a faint smile on their faces after reading it.
"The east gate and the west gate are both the two most important gates in Moyue City. Moyue Chieftain can use these two gates as a passage for our army to enter the city when he surrenders, which shows that he is very sincere." Guo Shifeng said with a faint smile.
"It's really sincere, but what I fear most is his sincerity. He is very sincere and sure what he wants is not simple." Chen Qi said coldly.
"What does the general mean?" Guo Shifeng asked
"What if this is a strategy set by Tubo, I want to lead us into the city and then annihilate us?" Chen Qi said.
"What does the general mean?" Guo Shifeng asked
In fact, he never believed in the truth of Mo Yue Toast surrender
However, when he said in the letter from Mo Yue Tusi that he opened the two most important gates to Mo Yue City, Guo Shifeng couldn't help but believe it.
However, now when he heard Chen Qi's voice, it seemed that he didn't take it seriously at all.
Could it be that he has any thoughts in his mind?
However, Guo Shifeng did not ask, he quietly waited for Chen Qi's following text
"I mean, you and I will lead 10,000 troops into the city. You will enter the Ximen to control the Moyue City Office. I will lead 10,000 troops to control the Moyue City Military Camp. We will take a two-pronged approach. However, if one side is surrounded or intercepted, the other side will never come to rescue. Instead, they will immediately break out of Moyue City and return to the camp to rectify the army in case the Tubo army attack." Chen Qi said his thoughts
"The last general takes the order" Guo Shifeng said,
He also knew that Chen Qi's method was the most appropriate
Because, before uncertain about the authenticity of Moyue Tusi's surrender, neither of them could be careless. They designed to trick themselves and Chen Qi into being true, so that the army outside the city would fall into a state of headlessness and would be easily attacked by the Tubo army
In a letter from Mo Yue Tusi to Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng, he said that the time for opening the city gate was the second day's hour.
Therefore, Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng did not issue any orders to the army, but just waited quietly for the next day's Zishishishishi.
By the next day, the chieftain of Moyue City and general Ma Sang used their own soldiers to defend the east gate and west gate of Moyue City. The officials and generals in Moyue City did not notice anything wrong.
Because in the past few days, Mo Yue City has been on guard throughout the whole process, 20,000 elite cavalry guarding the four city gates and always guarding against the Tang army's attack. Therefore, the nerves of the 20,000 elite cavalry are very tense. At this time, using their own soldiers to change the city gates reflects the concern of Mo Yue Tusi and Ma Sang for the army. How can other generals and officials notice anything?
So, when the defense change was over, Mo Yue Tusi and Ma Sang stayed quietly in Mo Yue Tusi's mansion, quietly waiting for Zishishi.
Because, when it is time for me, the two of them will go to the east gate and the west gate to supervise the surrender of their own soldiers. They do not want any omissions at critical moments.
Time passed very slowly, Mo Yue Toast and Ma Sang were waiting anxiously
At this time, 20,000 elite cavalry were ready in the Tang army camp. The chief general Chen Qi and deputy general Guo Shifeng appeared in front of the two elite cavalry, and they were surrounded by military Sima Pei Xingjian.
"Is the army ready?" Chen Qi asked Pei Xingjian.
"Return to the general, 20,000 elite cavalry are ready," Pei Xingjian replied in a humble and arrogant manner.
"Okay," Chen Qi nodded. He did not continue to speak, but quietly looked at the 20,000 ecstasy in front of him.
This is 20,000 black armored cavalry, the black cavalry he trained
This army lost 20,000 troops when Li Ji led the army to the west to Tuyuhun, which annoyed Chen Qi very much.
Therefore, when he came to the Sichuan-Tibet area of Yizhou with Su Dingfang, he increased his training for this cavalry, and continued to fight with a small group of Tubo cavalry. Chen Qi could say with certainty that this 80,000 black cavalry army would definitely show a stunning scene in the future Tang Dynasty's battle against Tubo in the future.
It's almost time for me to come, Pei Xingjian reported to Chen Qi
Chen Qi agreed lightly, and Guo Shifeng and they each led 10,000 elite cavalry to leave the Tang Army camp.
Because it was Tubo surrender, Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng were dissatisfied with the march, and the 20,000 troops did not create much formation.
When Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng arrived at the east gate and the west gate, they saw a bonfire on the city tower.
On the Dongcheng Tower of Moyue City, Chen Qi saw Moyue Tusi
It was almost cold, but Moyue Toast left rows of sweat on his forehead
Seeing the dark Tang army outside the city and the front-end war horse sitting upright was Chen Qi's general, Mo Yue Tusi felt much more relaxed.
Because, since the moment he arrived at the Tang Army camp, he had tied himself to the Tang Army's chariot, and he was destined to follow the Tang Army's footsteps
Therefore, he had to take the surrender seriously and cautiously, which was a pity that it was related to his wealth and life
Chen Qi sat upright on the war horse and saw someone lifting a torch on the city tower. The torch marked a big word in the darkness.
Chen Qi knew that this was the code he agreed with Mo Yue to identify the other party. Chen Qi also ordered his personal guard to light a torch and drew a Tang character in the dark.
"Is it General Chen?" Mo Yue chieftain asked.
"It's this general," Chen Qi replied coldly.
"Please wait for a moment," said Mo Yue Tusi.
Then, he disappeared on the city tower
After a while, the east gate of Moyue City slowly opened
"Draw the sword——" Chen Qi ordered
"Cangzi" The 10,000 elite cavalry of the Black Cavalry drew out their battle swords and followed them to Mo Yue City.
The purpose of Chen Qi doing this is that he does not want to lose such an opportunity to attack.
Because the camp of the Tubo army is near the east gate. If he doesn't quickly enter Moyue City and kills to the Tubo army to control the Tubo army, when the Tubo army finds that it attacks the city, 20,000 of them will break out of the camp to fight with him. He really dares not say that he can get any advantage
The east gate of Moyue City opened, and a pair of Tang cavalry rushed towards Moyue City like a ferocious evil spirit. In addition to leaving two thousand people to guard the east gate, Chen Qi personally led 8,000 people to the camp of the Tubo army.
At Ximen, when Guo Shifeng's army came to Ximen, the situation encountered was the same as Chen Qi.
Ma Sang also confirmed with Guo Shifeng through the secret code that had been agreed upon before. After confirming the other party's true identity, Ma Sang also ordered his personal soldiers to open the west gate of Moyue City.
With the order of Guo Shifeng, the army rushed to Moyue City
Guo Shifeng acted the same way as Chen Qi. He left two thousand people to guard the west gate of Moyue City, and he personally led the eight thousand elite cavalry to attack the official yamen near the west gate of Moyue City.
Although, Moyue City is managed by Moyue Tusi and the generals guarding the city
However, the Tubo royal court still sent many officials, who had very little power, but they still had a certain influence in Moyue City.
Therefore, at this critical moment, no matter Chen Qi, Guo Shifeng, Mo Yue Tusi or Ma Sang, no one dared to take this part of the people lightly, and did not dare not take this part of the people seriously, so he made such a cautious decision
When Guo Shifeng killed the government office near Ximen again, he did not encounter any effective resistance.
Therefore, he led the eight thousand elite cavalry all the way to the government office near Ximen, and in an instant he controlled everything here and captured all thirteen officials from the Tubo royal court.
However, Chen Qi encountered a little trouble when he rushed to the Tubo army camp.
That is, when he was about to arrive at the Tubo camp, he met the entire Tubo 100-man team in the city that was out of the camp to inspect the city.
However, with Chen Qi's alertness and Ming Rui, he did not lead eight thousand people to sweep the fallen leaves when the Tubo people reacted, and cut off a hundred heads and killed them to the Tubo camp.
It can be said that the guards of the Tubo camp are relatively strict
Because, during the war, there were Tang troops outside the city, and they would attack the city at any time, and the Tubo army would not dare to be lazy.
However, even though they were so strict, when they found the Tang cavalry, they wanted to brag about the horn to inform their companions in the camp. However, before the horn was placed beside their mouths, they were stared at the gate by a feather arrow from Chen Qi. The other Tubo camp guards shouted out before they could even shout when they saw the Tang cavalry.
"Kill-" Chen Qi roared and rushed into the Tubo camp
"Kill--" Eight thousand elite cavalry followed closely and followed Chen Qi into the Tubo camp
How could they know that the Tang army would enter the camp so quickly?
So, when they were woken up in their dreams and opened their eyes and found that they were all black-clad cavalrymen in black armor, they were stunned. They didn't know what to do.
The commander and centurion who received the orders were very cautious. When Chen Qi's eight thousand men entered the camp, they knew what they knew and began to lead the resistance, but their number was too small and they had no time to stop the effective resistance. They were killed by the fiercely stormed Tang army.
Therefore, there were not many shouts of killing in the military camp, and there was no scene of fire soaring into the sky.
In just one stick of incense, the eight thousand Tang army controlled the camp that could accommodate 20,000 people, but actually had 15,000 defenders.
At this time, Mo Yue Tusi and Ma Shi, who had changed defenses with the Tang army, led their troops to the north gate and the south gate in time. The two of them used their personal soldiers to control Mo Yue City and seized the weapons of their own army. It was like this. It was a very hard battle, but with officials like Mo Yue Tusi and Ma Sang, generals were easily conquered by the Tang army.
