0573 The wolf rides into the valley, the Tang army abandons the city

In Qingshui City, Lou Shide was also wearing armor and inspecting the soldiers' armor and weapons over and over again, but he did not wait for the right opportunity to attack.

"Oh, I miscalculated it! Mochuo is cunning and almost inhumane."

After retreating to the city, the governor Feng Jingyu was disappointed and clenched his fist and smashed it hard into the palm of the other hand.

Although Lou Shide was quite disappointed, he still cheered up and said, "Bless the brothers of Buzhulu were able to gather the Turks and destroy the rest of the border, which was not fortunate. The Hu Hu was bewitched and had such difficulties. But it was not completely harmless to abandon his party members. At present, the Hu Hu people and horses are flooding the river valley, and the Turkic thieves are also hard to make progress."

Despite the current situation in the river valley, Lou Shide is still optimistic. He looked around Feng Jingyu and the soldiers who went out of the city to fight back and smiled and said, "This attack can force Mochu to abandon his party members, and it cannot be said to be ineffective. Mochu is cunning and refuses to do his best in the face of danger. Then his army will not be tenacious. He is in the enemy country, but cannot fight bravely. Once the power is weak, he will be in danger!"

Resourceful people are actually not suitable to be the head coach of the army. Or as the head coach of the army, they must be good at self-deprecating and not let the soldiers rely too much on the head coach's wisdom.

There are many smart people in the world, but very few are qualified to be generals. Smart people are accustomed to choosing more labor-saving ways to achieve their goals, and doing things may result in twice the result with half the effort.

However, soldiers are very evil, and the army and war are the most complicated things in the world. A truly elite army needs to have a certain degree of stupidity and should not weigh the pros and cons too clearly. A plan is treacherous and will be sloppy. Few people who are good at using troops are known for their weird changes.

Mochu used his tricks to abandon allies on the battlefield and gave the soldiers the idea of ​​avoiding the battle. However, he did not fight at home, which was equivalent to abandoning external help and at the same time disintegrating his own fighting spirit.

Even if it can be effective in a short period of time, the long withdrawal distance cannot end the war in a fast pace. As long as the Tang army can maintain the pressure on its army, its army will be worried about defeat.

Lou Shide felt this way, not just to comfort the soldiers, but to be really inspired.

During the Yifeng period, he responded to Emperor Gaozong's call and devoted himself to the side affairs with a civil minister, and followed the then prime minister Li Jingxuan to fight against the Turks. In that war at that time, Li Jingxuan's war ideas were quite similar to Mochu. In the early days, the army was arrogant and lightly advanced. After suffering a minor setback, it led its troops to not fight, which led to a sluggish morale and was defeated again and again.

Mochu led his troops to bypass Helan Mountain and attack Yuanzhou directly. He unexpectedly and extremely brave, he was indeed extraordinary. He conquered Yuanzhou City almost without any effort. This is the embodiment of the strong army.

However, the next action lost such a fast pace. He was trapped by the river valley Liancheng for more than half a month. It seemed that he was summoned and lured the Hu troops to make the army stronger, but his original aura was no longer there.

Knowing that the Tang army would launch a night attack, but not accurately prevented the soldiers from responding, this would make the soldiers slow to sense the crisis, which would be a fatal omission for the army that was alone in the enemy's territory.

Even though Mochuo is smart, it takes a certain amount of time to spread his intentions to the entire army if he wants to expand his perception and prediction. Once he encounters an equally elite enemy, this is a fighter jet for capture.

But even so, the Tang defenders in the valley obviously do not have the ability to capture and use this fighter. Now the valley has become chaotic, with Hu people running around everywhere, cutting the Zhuzi City where the Tang army is still defending into isolated islands, making it even more difficult to gather military forces to launch a counterattack.

Although these chaotic Hu people are just mobs and have not had high combat power, they are trapped in the narrow and narrow area of ​​the river valley, when their desire to survive bursts out, the destructive power they burst out cannot be underestimated.

Several sub-cities that were captured yesterday have been empty. With the precedent of Turkish setting fire to the city, the Hu people did not dare to enter the city again to avoid disaster. Therefore, those sub-cities that were still under the control of the Tang army have become the choices of some Hu people.

Although the order has collapsed at the moment, some Hu chiefs are still rational. They have just been abandoned by the Turks and no longer dare to continue to be enemies with the Tang army.

Therefore, some Hu chiefs tried their best to restrain their troops, avoid the exit of the valley that the Hu people had attacked the most rapidly, and tried to move to the city of Tang Junzi City, shouting loudly that they would surrender, and work together to defend with the Tang army in the city to resist the Turkic offensive.

However, when the Tang army organized the river valley defense line, in order to avoid the Hu people being afraid of the enemy and indulging themselves, they did not recruit too many Hu tribes near him. At this moment, everyone was in danger and would not accept these Hu people who turned against each other in front of the formation to enter the city.

Among the Zhuzi City, the most Hu people gathered around Qingshui City. First, Qingshui City is the center of the defense line of Zhuzi City, with the largest castle. Second, this city is guarding the river valley pass. If you want to enter the river valley on the south side, you must pass through it.

Therefore, a large number of Hu people gathered at Qingshui City, constantly shouting and begging, and even cutting their faces and asking for help, hoping that the Tang army would shelter or allow them to escape south.

But the defenders in the city were resentful of the previous plan, and they hated the Hu tribes to help the evil and walk with the wolf. Faced with such a plea, they only responded with strong arrows. As the castle in the center of the river valley, Qingshui City was not short of materials and weapons, and the soldiers fought back with hatred, and soon there were corpses everywhere in front of the city.

Seeing that the Tang army had no mercy and tolerance for them, the Hu people gave up such attempts and continued to attack the castle.

Just as Qingshui City repelled the Hu people's repeated attacks, a rapid sound of drums and horns suddenly sounded in Houluzi City on the south. The rhythm was that there was an emergency military situation to convey.

Feng Jingyu and Lou Shide on the top of the city looked at each other and saw a trace of suspicion and a faint surprise flashing in each other's eyes. It was obvious that they were all guessing or having news of reinforcements. After all, the river valley was fighting to death, and it was not this important turning point, and it was not worth using such a level of encouragement.

"I'll guard the city. Brother Zong Ren, please lead the crowd in and check it out."

Feng Jingyu pondered for a moment and said quickly, and at the same time approached Lou Shide and whispered: "If it weren't for a turnaround, Brother Zong Ren will go by himself, this city will be where Feng died!"

Lou Shide opened his mouth, but didn't say anything else. After patting Feng Jingyu's arm, he quickly got off the city, and pointed two hundred people in the city, rushed out from the south gate of Qingshui City, and retreated some of the Hu people who had crossed the valleys and roamed here, heading straight toward the Zicheng, which was sent out by the drum.

"The last general Li Ge, under the order of General Qiezi, entered the valley first to announce the news. General Qiezi was sent by His Highness Yong and led 6,000 elite cavalry to Yuanzhou and arrived at the valley in the afternoon tomorrow!"

At the gate of Zicheng, Li Ge and the garrison were waiting here. As soon as Lou Shide arrived, he stepped forward and crossed his hands and said.

When Lou Shide heard this, his face suddenly showed joy and couldn't help but say, "His Highness Yong is truly King Ren. He is both safe and secure in the inner and outer gates of Yuanzhou. We, the generals and officials of Yuanzhou, have failed to fulfill their responsibilities and guard the territory. I am really ashamed..."

He didn't have time to blame himself in detail, and then said, "The reinforcements will not arrive tomorrow afternoon? But the situation in the valley may not be able to be postponed... When His Highness Yong sent his troops, would he have any other instructions?"

"Your Highness personally said that killing enemies is the only thing to do, and you must not indulge the Turkic jackals and wolves to come and go without any dangers, and they are accustomed to entering and leaving!"

Li Ge hurriedly said after hearing this.

When Lou Shide heard this, he slapped and said, "Your Highness is truly ambition! Since that's the case, then I understand. Please ask General Li to return to General Guizi. This is difficult to support the river valley, and we need to make a new plan to break the enemy..."

He quickly explained his strategy. After Li Ge retelled it correctly, he asked someone to replace the war horses for Li Ge and others and inform the city guards to go out of the city together to communicate with each other.

When Lou Shide learned that reinforcements were expected, he was very calm and immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to beat drums and send messages, and gathered the people and horses of several sub-cities behind Qingshui City to break out of the city and clear the passage with Qingshui City.

"The reinforcements have been reached? This is really great!"

In Qingshui City, Feng Jingyu, the governor who was supervising the battle at the top of the city, heard the drum news and suddenly smiled ecstatically on his face, but soon he looked suspicious: "Abandon the city and retreat? This, this..."

The drumming sounded three times in succession, and Feng Jingyu was sure that it was correct. Although he was confused, he knew that Lou Shide would never make a fool of himself, so he ordered the guards and generals to communicate the orders to the teams in the city.

Outside the valley, the rising sun completely jumped out of the horizon, and the rising sun shone on the earth, and the many things seen in the vision were covered with a layer of golden light.

Mo Chuan sat in his Khan's tent, while lowering his head to eat, listening to the noise of fighting in the direction of the valley, a complacent and cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "The exit to the north of the valley will continue to be strictly guarded. The camp made meals to allow our warriors to have a full meal. After noon, they entered the valley and picked the sweetest fruits of this trip!"

However, not long after, the soldiers who came forward to supervise the battle in the river valley hurried into the tent and said, "Report to Khan, the warriors outside the valley have successfully attacked the river valley and are continuing to hunt down those miscellaneous Hus!"

"Who is allowed to break into the valley?"

Mochu was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and shouted unhappily.

"Yes, it was Luo Teqin. The special agent said that Khan had a clever plan and used the lives of those miscellaneous Hu people to successfully force the Tang army to abandon the city and flee..."

"Did the Tang army abandon the city?"

After hearing this, Mochu became suspicious and directly pushed the case up, put on armor and came out of the tent, stood on the high ground and looked down. He saw that the tribal soldiers who were originally defending the exit of the valley had indeed rushed into the valley and were chasing and killing the chaotic Hu soldiers.

Although the battle situation in the river valley was very good, Mochuo felt a sense of ingenuity. The Tang army had been defending the river valley for more than half a month, but he did not move at all, so he had to borrow the lives of those miscellaneous Hu people to attack the city defense of the Tang army. But now the Tang army obviously still has combat power, so why did he give up the city so easily?

Of course, what he was even more dissatisfied with was Luo Teqin. He dared to make a decision without asking for instructions. After this battle, he must be severely punished and should not be condoned.
