Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3164 Who is the destiny?

Two days later, scouts came to report that Tuyuhun's army had still advanced to a place only fifty miles away from Dadouba Valley.

Before Fang Jun stopped at the map, he turned his head and looked at the sky outside. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. The dark clouds that had covered the sky two days ago had been blown away by the autumn wind. Naturally, the worrying heavy rain disappeared before it came.

This gave Fang Jun a reassurance.

Looking back at the map, he asked Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting beside him: "Where is the place where we buried the gunpowder?"

Cheng Wu stepped forward and pointed to a marked red spot in the Dadouba Valley: "This is the place where hundreds of catties of gunpowder are buried on the slopes on both sides. Massive collapses and landslides are enough to block entire valleys."

That place is about [-] miles away from the mouth of the valley, and it only takes half a day for the Tuyuhun army to cross here.After the war started, the gunpowder buried here was detonated to block the valley, and the Tuyuhun army had no way to retreat.

Of course, the current gunpowder power is limited, and it is impossible to cause the entire mountain to collapse. Even if the rocks of the landslide block the valley road, the height and width are extremely limited, and it is impossible to strictly isolate the inside and outside.If the Tuyuhun army gave up their horses, they could still climb back.

However, once Tuyuhun couldn't get out of the valley, he would be hit by Youtunwei's firearms, not to mention the casualties, and his morale would drop.And even if the Tuyuhun soldiers who abandoned their horses escaped, how much combat power would they have to continue to harass the Hexi counties?

Fang Jun nodded, and said: "The order goes on, the whole army is ready to fight, everyone must stay in their respective positions from now on, and those who leave their posts without authorization will be executed!"

"Here!"

Cheng Wu complied, and was about to go out to deliver the order, when he saw a scout walking in hurriedly, stood still at a step inside the door, and said with a military salute: "Commander, there is the latest battle report!"

As he spoke, he presented the battle report in his hand.

Pei Xingjian was close, took it casually, and passed it to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun took it, took it apart, took a closer look, and frowned immediately, then handed the battle report to Pei Xingjian, and turned back to the map again to check the terrain.

Pei Xingjian took a look at the battle report, and couldn't help frowning, and then handed the battle report to Cheng Wuting, who was eagerly watching.

Cheng Wuting saw it, and immediately scolded: "This Nuohebo is too cunning, isn't he? Damn, it's just perfect!"

Pei Xingjian said in a deep voice: "In the past, we underestimated this person. A total of 2 troops set up camp at [-] miles from Taniguchi, sent out scouts, and then only let [-] people move forward, trying to attack the fortress of Taniguchi, instead of swarming Come up... Commander, I am afraid that this battle will be difficult for all."

Fang Jun was silent.

He really didn't expect that Nuohebo's army of [-] to [-] men would come in a menacing manner, but when he was approaching the door, he suddenly shrank back and became cautious.

When 2 people came to attack, the Youtunwei must also go all out and dare not slack off in the slightest. If Nuohebo saw the strong firepower of the Youtunwei at that time, he felt afraid, so he simply withdrew along the original road and turned it into a whole. It would be troublesome for Ling to rush into Hexi along the narrow valley roads in various places in Qilian Mountains, so as to avoid the fortress at the mouth of Dadouba Valley.

Fifty thousand cavalry spread out, and the combat power and destructive power were naturally much more dispersed. It was difficult to pose a fatal threat to the right guards. The circle, melee.

This will not only cause fatal damage to the people's livelihood in Hexi, but will also drag Youtunwei to Hexi. He will not be able to return to Chang'an to stay in Gyeonggi, nor will he be able to go to the Western Regions to assist the Anxi Army in fighting powerful enemies.

After a long time, Fang Jun said: "If you resist for a while, let the enemy's [-] vanguard go, and wait for the main force to follow up, and then resist the enemy with all your strength, how about keeping the contract?"

Pei Xingjian also came to Fang Jun's side, looked at the map on the wall side by side, thought for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Showing the enemy's weakness and luring the enemy to go deep is certainly feasible. Once the [-] enemy vanguards who broke through the siege took the rear route, they would be attacked from both front and back, and they would definitely be defeated. However, can the original garrison forces of the Hexi counties be able to stop the [-] enemy vanguards and persist until the right village? Wei completely defeated the main force of the enemy attacking from the front? The final general dare not guarantee."

Chang'an's terrain is superior, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, since history, there have been many encounters where the enemy broke through the defense from the west and reached the center. Therefore, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, all the troops stationed in the west of Guanzhong were elite. To resist the Hu tribe from the west, attack Guanzhong.

However, the entire Guanzhong and Hexi areas are now empty of troops, and the four counties in Hexi have less than [-] troops stationed there. After all, it is impossible for these troops to go out to guard the back of the right guard, making the four counties' cities useless.Otherwise, once any one of the cities is captured by an enemy army, and more than [-] people in the city will be slaughtered, who can bear the responsibility?
Therefore, with all the battles and calculations, the number of troops that can be drawn from the four counties is less than [-].

These soldiers are indeed elite, but facing the [-] Tuyuhun iron cavalry deliberately released by Youtunwei, they are at an absolute disadvantage regardless of their type and momentum. God knows how long they can last...

After Pei Xingjian finished speaking, he thought about it again, and continued: "However, in the current situation, I'm afraid we can only take a risky gamble like this. Otherwise, if we can't attract the main force of Tuyuhun, he will definitely be heartbroken when he sees the strong firepower of the Youtun Guard. Be afraid, if we retreat timidly and infiltrate into the Hexi counties from various mountain passes in the Qilian Mountains, the entire Hexi counties will be involved in the flames of war. At that time, our weak troops will be even more vulnerable Unlimited magnification, but the Tuyuhun iron cavalry charges recklessly on the flat ground... time is waiting for no one."

After all, this sentence "Time waits for me" hits the nail on the head, and it is even more helpless.

At any time, a variety of strategies and tactics can be used to deal with the invasion of the Tuyuhun cavalry. Whether it is an annihilation war or a war of attrition, Tuyuhun is doomed to fail.

However, the current situation is critical, Guanzhong is empty of troops, and powerful enemies from the Western Regions are invading. Therefore, the battle of Hexi can not only be won but cannot be defeated, but must be settled quickly.

Fang Jun made a decisive decision and ordered: "The generals who rule the four counties will immediately mobilize [-] soldiers and horses and hand them over to Yuchi Baohuan to guard and protect the rear of our army. In addition, tell Yuchi Baohuan that if we win this battle, we will Shuai personally recommends him a title of County Marquis in front of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, if he loses, this Shuai personally beheads him!"

Pei Xingjian's heart trembled, he nodded and said, "Here! The general will pass on the order."

I really prayed a few words for Yuchi Baohuan in my heart.

[-] infantry against [-] Tuyuhun elite vanguard, how to fight this battle?If he can win, he is indeed worthy of the honor of a Marquis.

But even if you win by luck, you will lose both...

But apart from Yuchi Baohuan, the rest of the Hexi defenders were either lacking in ability or had problems standing in line, so how dare they hand over the important task of guarding the rear?

……

In the Dadouba Valley, Nuohebo looked up at the gradually thinning sky. The sun shone from behind the clouds, dispelling the haze and water vapor in the valley. The rocks and trees on the hillsides on both sides became clearer and clearer. Let out a long breath.

Tuyuhun is rich in war horses, so all the troops under his command are cavalry.The Dadouba Valley is inherently steep, and only a dozen or so cavalry can walk side by side in the narrow part, and the rocky mountains and dense ditches in the valley are not conducive to the cavalry charge.If there is another heavy rain, it will inevitably wash down the earth and rocks on the slopes on both sides, and the valley will become more and more muddy, making it extremely difficult to travel, let alone the cavalry to accelerate the charge?
Looking at the sky overcast and cloudy for the past two days, Nuo Hebo felt nervous and depressed.

I have planned for many years, and now I finally sit on the throne of Tuyuhun Khan, hoping to use this battle to boost my prestige and secure this position.Is it possible that he has not succeeded in his mission, but he will be abandoned by the gods and punish him with a heavy rain?
Thunder, rain and snow are all at the right time.

And the time of day represents the luck of heaven.If it rained before the war started, it must be God giving him a warning, telling him to withdraw his troops and return to Qinghai Lake as soon as possible. In this life, he would never even think about setting foot in the land of Hexi, let alone sit firmly on the throne of Khan...

Now the weather is fine and the dark clouds have cleared away, which naturally makes Nuo Hebo excited and confident.

The heavy rain that started to fall just as I was looking at it, but suddenly the clouds opened and the rain dispersed, isn't it just God's favor for me?
Even God is on my side, the right time, place and people, this battle must be won!
