The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 848 830 Seven:
When Tie Niu saw that Su Dingfang and his son had left, he looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Brother, do you really have a way to get six thousand horses?

No matter what I heard, what you said just now was a little bit suspenseful.

Both of us are imperial envoys now, so you have to be careful when you talk in the future!

How can I talk nonsense all day long!

If it doesn't reach the amount you mentioned, let's not talk about paying or not, shouldn't we be ashamed of ourselves!
Our buddies are doing so well now!Why are we looking for that embarrassment!

If the enemy only comes with five or six thousand people, how can you say there are so many horses!Could it be that none of the horses died?

Even if one horse does not die, if there are not [-] horses, then you are doomed, right? "

Duan Wuji smiled and did not speak.

"Brother Tieniu, well, let's stop talking about this, what's the point of just talking about it?

When the time comes, take a look and you'll know what's going on.

I don't think these things have much to do with us. I think we should practice the new martial arts we have learned from Shaolin Temple! "

After speaking, Duan Wuji hummed a little tune and walked away.

In the morning of the next day, the two brothers ate breakfast in a hurry, and then Su Dingfang came back with his two sons.

"Commissioner Duan, I have notified the team, let's go over and have a look, if there is nothing wrong, we can set off in a while, how can this not be done according to the arrangement in advance!

Once the enemies have rushed over, if we go again, wouldn't it be too late!Do you think this is the case? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"That is indeed the case, then let's go now, when everything is arranged, we can have a good rest, if there is anything inappropriate, we still have time to do it now!

Come on, let's see it now! "

The five people went outside the gate and got on their horses. Under the leadership of Su Dingfang, they rushed straight to the school military field outside Beiping City.

After arriving at the school military field, I saw that the soldiers had already assembled, the cavalry and horse teams were neatly formed, and rows of cavalry had long been lined up.

Those infantrymen also wore their helmets brightly one by one, and the team was very neat.

When Duan Wuji saw that all these soldiers were full of energy, he was finally completely relieved.

Duan Wuji took a closer look and saw that the five hundred cavalrymen he brought were also in the cavalry team, so he was completely relieved.

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "My lord, what do you think of the army I trained?"

"Well, yes, this army seems to be okay. Hey! I said Old Su.

How many of these cavalry are there?How many infantry are there? "

"My lord! There are 300 cavalrymen in total, which is almost the entire family property of my Su Dingfang. The infantrymen are 500 in total, which is almost one-third of my team.

These troops add up to more than 1 people. If there are fewer people, how can this battle be won? Do you think it makes sense! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded!
"Well! It is enough to have these teams. Whether this battle can be fought well or not is all in one fell swoop!"

"Master Imperial Envoy, why don't you mobilize these soldiers before the battle?"

As he said that, Su Dingfang shouted loudly: "Brothers, be quiet, the imperial envoy is going to talk to us, you have to listen carefully!"

When the soldiers heard that the imperial envoy wanted to give a lecture, they all fell silent.

Duan Wuji cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "Brothers, those Turkic people have repeatedly violated our borders and robbed our border residents of things, everyone must know about this!
This is a disgrace to our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!This time we went, we have to inform them cleanly.

Let these bastards come and go!

If we win this battle, we can win a long period of peace!
Whether you can win this battle depends entirely on you.

Brothers, for this expedition, each of us has brought eight days of dry food. If the enemy has not come after eight days, then we will return quickly!

Of course, everyone should prepare enough water, don't forget this.It's absolutely impossible to drink without water!

I have already decided to send troops this time. They say that when sending troops to fight, food and grass go first, but this is just the habit of our Han soldiers. Don’t those bastards not bring food and grass, they can eat wherever they go!
Why can they do it, why can't we?
I think everyone should disband now, and we will leave when it gets dark. Anyway, it's not cold now, and we don't need to bring too many things!

We all need to pack lightly, this is also good for fighting!

Alright, let's break up now!Let me tell you, if anyone doesn't bring enough food, I won't care about the lack of food and drink at that time!

You can figure it out for yourself! "

Su Dingfang was taken aback.

"Master Imperial Envoy, how can we do this without food and grass! How can we make so much dry food all at once!"

"No problem, fighting the Turks, that's how we should be.

If you still plan to bury the pot and cook in that place, once the Turkic people find out, if the enemy doesn't leave from that place, then we will be working in vain! "

"Well! What you said also has some truth, well, then let's do it according to the method you said!

I think it's better for our cavalry team to bring some fodder. It's not too much trouble to bring two bags of fodder for each horse!
Imperial envoy, what do you say!At that time, how can the horse not have enough physical strength to win the battle! "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"The cavalryman can also bring two bags of feed for the horses, this is a must.

General Su, since there is going to be a war, you should increase the food for the soldiers!

This war must not chill the hearts of the brothers! "

"I know about this, don't worry, the food will never be low.

Now that we have decided on this matter, let me arrange these specific matters! "

Su Dingfang shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Let's disperse now, after three hours, we'll set off on time, didn't my lord make it clear just now!

Just follow suit! "

As soon as the soldiers heard what Su Dingfang said, they immediately disbanded.

Su Dingfang looked at Duan Wuji and the others and said: "My lords, there is nothing wrong now, let's go! Go to the barracks for a while!"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"We won't go, hurry up and make dry food for the soldiers! Everything is ready, let's go right away!

Let's practice martial arts here, my brothers! "

As soon as Su Dingfang heard what Duan Wuji said, he immediately led Su Long and Su Hu away.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were practicing martial arts in the school's military field, waiting for the soldiers to gather again!

The two brothers were tired from practicing martial arts, Duan Wuji took out five taels of silver and handed it to Tieniu.

"Brother Tieniu, go to the city and buy some pancakes and cooked meat! We brothers have to stick to it for a few days!

How can I do without food! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Brother, we are imperial envoys, do we need to pay for this?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's just a matter of a few taels of silver, let's not wait for this.

We are not poor, can we care about such a small amount of money?
Well, don't mention this matter, you can go to the city to buy it, and you don't need to pay for it!

The things we buy ourselves must be better than the things made in the barracks! "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Alright then! Then I'll go now!"

With that said, Tie Niu rode on his horse and ran towards the city.

After a short time, Tie Niu came back on horseback, and Tie Niu handed Duan Wuji a burden.

"Brother, I bought a total of two packs of food. We brothers each have a pack. Let's take it separately. It's more convenient!"

Duan Wuji took the burden and carried it on his back, then sat down and continued to practice internal strength.

After the sun went west, the disbanded team slowly gathered again.

Su Dingfang looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "You two imperial envoys, all the work has been prepared, isn't it you who command the battle this time! Then you can divide the troops and send generals for us!"

As soon as Su Dingfang waved his hand, more than [-] generals, big and small, gathered around.

Duan Wuji glanced at these people and said: "Su Long, Su Hu, the [-] infantry should be under the command of your two brothers. Each of you will lead [-] infantry and lie in ambush on the left and right sides of the hill.

When the enemies are all within your effective range, shoot them with bows and arrows!

You two told the soldiers that we only shoot people, not horses. "

The two listened and nodded.

"Yes! The last general takes orders."

After finishing speaking, the two brothers led their infantry team away, and all the generals who belonged to the soldiers followed.

In a short time, those infantry teams all left cleanly.

Su Dingfang looked at Duan Wuji and his brothers and said with a smile: "My lords, what should I do?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "At that time, you can guard the narrowest mountain pass! I will give you [-] cavalry, don't let a single enemy soldier pass, killing the enemy is not your main task.

You just have to hold the pass!Of course, you can kill some enemies!Dude, can you guard this mountain pass? "

The narrow part of the mountain pass is only more than ten feet wide, so many soldiers can't hold it!Don't worry, I can definitely complete the task.

If I run past an enemy, I, Su Dingfang, would like to come and see him. "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Then you can pick up the soldiers! The rest of the soldiers can be led by our brothers, and we will wipe out this group of enemies in one fell swoop."

Su Dingfang got on his horse and ran straight towards the cavalry team.

Su Dingfang ordered 2000 cavalry under his command!The remaining [-] riders all belonged to Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

The three led the cavalry of the brigade and rushed straight to the two wolf mountains.

When he arrived at the mountain pass of Lianglang Mountain, Duan Wuji took a look, and saw that Lianglang Mountain was a mountain pass going up from northwest to southeast. It was wide on the northwest and narrow on the southeast!

I saw dense trees on the hillside and jagged rocks on the hillside. There is absolutely no problem hiding thousands of people on the hillside!
Duan Wuji said to Su Dingfang: "Old Su, those cavalrymen will come over in a while, you can let them ambush at the narrowest position of the mountain pass. If you shoot and kill the enemy at this position, I think none of them will be able to run away." ah!"

"Well! I know about this, so don't worry!"

Duan Wuji and Tieniu led the cavalry group and rushed towards the northwest mountain pass.

Duan Wuji saw that the northwest mountain pass was indeed two or three miles wide, and this place was indeed a natural place for ambushes!

After leaving the mountain pass, Duan Wuji saw that there was a relatively dense grove one mile to the east of the mountain pass. Duan Wuji pointed to it.

"Let's go, let's hide in the woods! When the enemy comes, let's attack immediately."

After arriving at the grove, people jumped off the horse one after another, then opened the hay bag on the horse's back, poured out the hay and started feeding the horses!
People also sat and began to rest.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu walked out of the grove, and found a river pit on the east side of the grove, half of which was full of river water!
Duan Wuji smiled and said: "It's enough to have this half of the pit water! This place is just right for drinking horses!

This saves trouble, and saves us from looking for water sources again. "

The two men walked around for a while and then came back. They told the soldiers what they had discovered. The soldiers were all very happy when they heard that there was a place for drinking horses in the east.

Duan Wuji and the others stayed in this place for three days and three nights!In the past few days, people rested when they were full. That was nothing. When it was getting dark, Duan Wuji stood up abruptly.

"Brothers, give me energy. The Turkic cavalry is coming soon. Everyone, get ready. After a while, when the enemy enters the mountain pass, we will immediately block the mountain pass. Anyone will fight bravely for me." !"

When these soldiers heard this, they immediately stood up one after another, and everyone immediately made preparations for the battle.

The soldiers had already rested for the past few days. As soon as they heard that the battle was about to start, everyone got ready. It was the swordsmen who held the swords, and the bows and arrows took the bows and arrows!Immediately everyone was busy.

It took only half a cup of tea to see dust billowing in the northwest direction.

The Turkic cavalry rushed over like a gust of wind, and the enemy galloped all the way, and rushed straight into the mountain pass.

Duan Wuji and the others hid in the woods and watched until the last enemy rushed into the mountain pass. Duan Wuji and Tie Niu turned over, and Duan Wuji shouted to these soldiers: "Brothers, the enemies are all in, hurry up!" Follow me!"

After finishing speaking, the two men galloped straight to the pass and rushed over, followed by the cavalry from the brigade, and the dense team immediately sealed off the mountain pass completely.

The two people led the team straight to the South Mountain Pass and pressed down here. When the two rushed in for four miles, they heard that the back of the mountain was already in chaos, and they heard shouts resounding through the sky from ahead. Killing sound.

It was the sound of crying and shouting, and the sound of shouting and killing intertwined together, and in a daze, the remnants of the enemy's defeated generals were defeated back from the valley!

Duan Wuji roared and said: "Brothers, the enemy's deserters have come out, come, everyone follow me to kill!"

After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and held a big stick straight to the enemy and rushed over.
