Chapter 1084 Shooting Sirius (sixty)(1/2)

Things happened so quickly that even Xu Le didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, he actually came true.

I thought that even if the Turks attacked, it would take one or two days.

Unexpectedly, he launched a counterattack so quickly, and he adopted such an awkward method that was unexplainable.

You can tell without looking at it that the generals of the Tang army are not good-looking now and there is no decision in their hearts.

Yangwu Fort was originally a fortress built during the Daye period, mainly to facilitate the army to station and reserve equipment.

Once the Turks move south, the fortress can play a role of delay.

During Li Yuan's tenure in Jinyang, he had to vigorously repair the military camps in his territory. Therefore, Yangwu Fort was built very strongly and was enough to serve as a fortress.

But what is guarding there now is not the regular Tang Dynasty army, but the strong rural soldiers and civilians.

It turned out that when the Turkic invasion was launched, a large part of the Xia County defenders had already fled, and the rest of those who fought to the death could only hold on in the city of Hengji City, hoping that they could wait until reinforcements came to help their lives.

Due to the tight military force and unstable people's hearts, even if you hide on the city wall, who dares to come out?

So Yangwu Fort was discarded like many of the forts built before.

Some of them were controlled by the Turks, while the other part was used by the people who built villages and became their own refuge.

Yangwu Castle belongs to the latter.

After the officers and soldiers abandoned, a group of local people organized Ding Zhuang to occupy the fortress first and recruit refugees everywhere. Now it has a bit of climate.

Since Yangwu Fort itself is easy to defend but difficult to attack, there is no amount of oil and water to reap, the Turks turned a blind eye.

There are some places where you can rob, so there is no need to fight with such a heavily guarded fortress and the defenders inside.

Unexpectedly, they still took action today, and as soon as they tried, they dispatched people like Xue Ju, the king of Jincheng.

You should know that as a prince, no matter what you do, you will have your own dignity.

For example, when attacking the fort, burning, killing and looting, Xue Ju often does not show up and just asks his men to do it.

It can not only avoid trouble and protect your reputation.

But today Xue Ju was abnormal and led his troops to attack the city. It can also be seen from the side how angry he was.

Although these people have received training in the Eagle-Yang Soldiers, they are still very different from real warriors.

What's more, their lack of weapons and armor in their hands will have to be even more discounted.

Even if he only defends but does not attack, he will not last long. As long as Xue Ju is determined to attack the city for half an hour, he will be able to break through the fort.

It is conceivable how the Xue family father and son would treat those people with their tyrannical and cruel temperament.

But if we want to go to the reception, these people are scheming in their hearts.

Xue Ju can be said to be the hardest bone to crack, and whoever faces him will be unlucky.

The three thousand Jincheng cavalry under his command must be there. Whoever is going to be this savior will have to face the iron cavalry directly to the formation.

Who is sure of such a thing if people don’t punish themselves for themselves?

Why do things you don’t know for sure?

As for the possibility that not doing this may lead to the death of the people, what does it have to do with yourself?

Xue Ju, who killed someone, was not himself, and this account could not be counted on him.

Changsun Wuji's attitude was clearer: "With Jincheng cavalry against Yangwu Castle, it would be like a killer! The Turkic people were not confused, so how could they make such a arrangement?

Let’s take a step back, if they want to destroy Yangwu Fortress, they will definitely concentrate their troops and eliminate them in one go. How could they give these people a chance to ask for help?

If what I expected was not bad, this was an ambush made by the Turkic character, just to deceive us into saving people. At that time, it would be that people would suffer losses if they could not save themselves."

"Changsun's words are good!"

Hou Junji immediately agreed when he heard this: "I just felt something was wrong. The Turkic warfare was not the same style.

Since Xue Ju wore a pair of pants with them, he must have learned their way of playing.

How can a group of ordinary people resist Yangwu Fort?

The eldest grandson said it right, this is just digging a hole and waiting for us to jump in! Grandpa is not fooled, so they just want to fight, so we ignore him."

Changsun Wuji said: "It's not possible to ignore it. I think it's better to attack Jiangzhou.

There is no need to really start a fight, just bluffing and light cavalry assault, forcing the Turks to retreat.

This is also a must-have to attack the enemy, and it is also a means to save people."

Although Yuchi Gong also attended the military convention at this time, he was a newly surrendered general after all. No matter how much Li Shimin valued him, he knew that his identity was embarrassing and did not dare to speak at this time.

But after hearing the two of them, I couldn't help but frown.

His subtle movement could not escape Xu Le's eyes, and he immediately said, "Yuchi, just say whatever you want.

Are they just allowed to scream here and not speak human words?"

This was almost like cursing people in person. Yuchi Gong coughed twice, then looked at Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji, thinking that it was equivalent to helping Xu Le scold them. This seemed a bit inappropriate.

But if you don’t say this, it’s like you’re stuck in your throat and don’t vomit. Finally, Li Shimin said: “If you have something to say, I want to hear your opinions.”

"I'm a rough man, and I have no high opinion.

I just felt that the grain had just been put into storage and saw that Yangwu Castle was pacified, so I really couldn't say this.

I also know that the place is mostly an ambush, but as a man, we are short-speaking and we can't do it if we don't save you."

Hou Junji snorted coldly, obviously disdaining Yuchi Gong's answer.

"This grain was not produced by Yangwu Fort. How many places can there be stored there?

At best, I have to pay a hundred kilograms of grain. Do I want to buy our lives?

Face is not as good as life, and you cannot act voluntarily in military and national affairs, and you cannot do whatever you want based on your heart and nature.

It is obvious that there is an ambush and jumps in, so that people will be laughed at.

Besides, didn’t Changsun say that, we didn’t go to save him, we just changed our method..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Le suddenly spoke: “If the people trapped in Yangwu Castle are not the people, but the saints today, what should we do?

Just because this is an ambush set up by the Turks, we just kept our troops in motion?

Or should we surround Wei and rescue Zhao and force the enemy to retreat according to what Changsun said?”

Hou Junji changed color: "Xu Le, what do you mean?"

"Do you can't hear what I mean?

I'll ask you one thing, if it's the current Yangwu Castle, what should we do?"

“What else can I do?

Of course, I ordered a military force to rescue you! But aren’t you talking nonsense? Now the people in Yangwu Castle are either the emperor or a bunch of ordinary people.

Can that be the same?”

"Is there any difference?"

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly took over the conversation: "The king's life is fate, is the people's life not fate?

If you cannot save the people today, can you save the car in the future?

I don't think so.

On that day, Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen Pass. Many generals were afraid of the enemy and did not dare to lead troops to rescue him, for fear of being ambushed by the Turks or losing their lives in the chaos.

Those people have similar words on weekdays, and they feel that when it comes to the time to save the car, they will naturally be able to give up everything.

But what's the result?"

The rescue of the Yanmen Pass was a great military achievement by Li Shimin and a battle where he made a name for himself at a young age.

Few people knew the situation better than him. Since he said this, it was natural that he would be true. How could Hou Junji and others dare to argue?

However, Changsun Wuji never gave up and said, "The general loves the people as his son is naturally a blessing for all people. But if the people in Yangwubao are damaged by the elite of our Tang Dynasty, who will protect the other people?

Besides, when we say we are trying to attack the world, we are definitely not letting go, it’s just…” “It’s just that we can’t save people.”

Li Shimin did not give face to his brother: "According to your plan, the Turks might be able to withdraw their troops, but it is also possible that the Turks ignore them at all, rely on the camp to defend to the death, and then slaughter Yangwu Fortress there and calmly withdraw their troops.

At that time, we will have to withdraw the Baibi and make a fuss. We will not save a single person and watch the people be killed.

I don't want to do this kind of thing.

Besides, how do you ensure that the Turks do not set up ambush outside the military camp?

At that time, I will just avoid one ambush and jump into another ambush!"

"Even so, we should make a long-term plan. What General Hou said is not without reason."

"He has his reason, and there is no reason for being alone! Those food and grass cannot come from Yangwu Fort, but today our army can abandon Yangwu, and tomorrow we can abandon other forts! Why do those people hand over their rations to us?

Isn’t it just that when the Turkic army invades, they can get help from the government and the army and not face the powerful enemy independently.

If you can't even do this, why should you give us food? Even if you are ambushing today, you will have to save Yangwu Fortress.

If you ignore it, don’t expect the people to believe us again in the future, let alone eat other people’s food!”

His words were spoken loudly, and the Chief Sun Wuji dared not say anything anymore.
