Chapter 171: Dispatching troops and dispatching generals
After nightfall, the iron mountain was quiet.
Apart from the howling sound of the cold wind.
Li Zaigu, Su Dingfang, Tang Jian, An Xiuren, Min Pohu and others gathered together to discuss the matter.
"Pohu, have the people who are monitoring us left?" Li Zaigu asked Min Pohu with a serious expression.
"The Turkic soldiers have left before, and there are fewer Turkic soldiers patrolling around, but there are still people secretly monitoring us." Min Pohu also said with a serious expression, "All the people who secretly monitored have been exposed. As long as the general gives an order, his subordinates will kill them one by one at any time!"
Li Zaigu said "hmm" and said in a deep voice: "Let him live for a while first."
After a pause, Li Zaigu looked at everyone with a more serious expression, but his voice lowered: "Today there are 100 elite soldiers leaving Iron Mountain, and tonight the enemy will relax their guard. Tonight will be the best time for us to take action. This general has ordered those who leave today to tell the chief executive about the operation tonight. Next, I will arrange tasks, and you all obey the order!"
Everyone couldn't help but straighten their bodies.
"Pohu, take people to clear the people who were secretly surveillance, and then bring ten people to burn the Tieshan granary." Li Zaigu's eyes fell on Min Pohu's face and ordered.
"Abide by the order!" Min Pohu bowed.
"You don't need to sneak into the granary directly. It doesn't matter whether you can burn the granary. The purpose is to attract the enemy's attention. Remember to evacuate in time after completing the task and must save your life." Li Zaigu reminded.
"Abide by the order!" Min Pohu bowed again.
"Zhang Zheng, take ten people to burn the Tieshan Haystackyard." Then, Li Zaigu ordered Zhang Zheng, "The demand is the same as Pohu!"
"As for your order!" Zhang Zheng bowed.
"General Su, please bring forty people to raid Jie Liya's tent. It's best to capture him alive. If he can't capture him alive, he will be killed if he can't be captured alive!" Li Zaigu changed to a negotiated tone and said to Su Dingfang.
"Okay!" General Su nodded, "General Li can rest assured, I will definitely capture Jie Li alive!"
Li Zaigu said "hmm" and then resumed his orderly tone and said to He Wen: "He Wen, bring thirty people to protect Duke Ju and General An. If Duke Ju and General An are in trouble, you are waiting for military law to deal with it!"
"Abide by the order!" He Wen bowed his hand and said with a firm look, "I will guarantee my life with my subordinates, and I will definitely protect Duke Ju and General An!"
"General Li, I am not old and can protect myself. You don't need to worry. Back then, I was killed by a broken sword and killed the Turks!" An Xiuren interrupted.
"Okay!" Li Zaigu's mouth raised slightly and showed a smile.
He said that, he still winked at He Wen and signaled that He Wen should not let Tang Jian and An Xiuren be harmed.
He Wenyi blinked in an understanding way.
"I led ten people to control the entrance of Tieshan and let the general manager lead the army to enter!" Li Zaigu said again.
"General Li led only ten people to control the entrance of Tieshan?" Tang Jian said in surprise, "There will be no less than a thousand defenders at the entrance of Tieshan, or even more!"
"Actually, there is a team of surprise soldiers at the end." Li Zaigu said seriously.
"Shock?" Tang Jian showed suspicious eyes.
An Xiuren's face also showed a look of doubt.
Others seemed calm without any surprises.
Everyone in Tiance Mansion knows that Li Zaigu has a strange weapon, so it is not strange.
Su Dingfang was not surprised to hear that others mentioned it.
"This surprise soldier had sneaked into Tieshan last night. Since it was a military secret, the Mo Jiang did not say it out in advance." Li Zaigu explained.
"Oh." Tang Jian nodded slightly in doubt.
The questioning expression on An Xiuren's face disappeared. He knew that in this military-based Tang Dynasty, there were many generals with their own troops.
Of course, each general does not have too many soldiers. After all, in order to prevent some generals from causing trouble, the court does not allow the general to have too many soldiers.
Some generals allowed to have more than a thousand private soldiers, while some generals allowed to have only more than a hundred private soldiers.
As the emperor's confidant, he naturally has more private soldiers.
However, whether it is the emperor's confidant general or ordinary general, they must report to the court to the number of private soldiers they own. The expansion or reduction of personnel must also report to the court.
Li Zaigu didn't care whether Tang Jian believed it or not, and then said firmly: "The actions of the middle school must not be wrong!"
"Abide by the order!" Su Dingfang, He Wen, Zhang Zheng and Min Pohu responded.
"He Wen, while we are waiting for the action, you will escort Duke Ju and General An from this place and find a place to hide." Li Zaigu turned to He Wen and ordered, "If we wait for the action, Jie Li's soldiers will definitely control Duke Ju and General An as soon as possible."
"I understand, obey the order!" He Wendao.
At the hour of Hai, Li Zaigu ordered Min Pohu to lead people to clear the enemies he was secretly surveillance.
The enemies who secretly monitored Tang Jian and An Xiuren, as well as the one hundred elite soldiers such as Li Zaigu, thought they were hiding well, but they did not expect that they had been exposed.
After a moment, all will be removed.
When midnight was approaching, Li Zaigu ordered everyone to act.
Snowflakes continue to fall in the sky.
At this time, Tieshan was quiet except for the whistling of the cold wind.
The guards of all important measures in Tieshan, sleeping, and dozing off, no one would have thought that someone would attack.
What's more, it was a sneak attack inside Tieshan.
The soldiers on patrol did not expect that someone would attack in the middle of the night on heavy snowy days. Therefore, they all relaxed their vigilance.
Min Pohu, Zhang Zheng and Su Dingfang led their men to avoid the patrol team and headed towards their respective destinations.
Li Zaigu merged with Zhao Zilong, a white helmet, white armor, white robe and white horse, holding a dragon gall spear, and carrying ten elite soldiers. He quietly approached the entrance of Tieshan.
Li Jing, who was outside Tieshan, was also ready.
Before dark, he had received a message from Li Zaigu from the elite soldiers who left Tieshan. Li Zaigu and others would take action at midnight.
If you see a fire in Tieshan, Li Jing can launch an attack.
Li Jing summoned all the generals and began to dispatch troops.
"At midnight tonight, the Tang army in Tieshan will take action, and use the flames in Tieshan as a signal. When we see the flames in Tieshan, we will immediately launch an attack!"
"As for your order!" the generals responded.
"The General Manager of the Jinhedao Army obeys the order!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Let the Jinhedao marching chief Chai Shao lead the soldiers to attack the left wing of Tieshan!"
"Get orders!"
"The deputy general manager of Jinhedao march obeys the order!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Let Qin Qiong, deputy general manager of Jinhedao marching, lead the soldiers to attack the right wing of Tieshan!"
"Get orders!"
"This general manager is the central army and leads soldiers to take Tieshan directly! Now he mobilizes his troops and launches an attack on Tieshan at midnight! The battle tonight will be a decisive battle to attack Jie Li's troops. All the generals will unite against the enemy and fight bravely!"
"The Tang Dynasty will win!" The morale of the generals was high.
After dinner, the Tang army outside Tieshan was divided into three parts and marched towards Tieshan in the dark.
As long as there is a fire in Tieshan, an attack will be launched immediately.
