Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 463 Chapter 474: Xue Rengui won the first battle

Li Hao's reaction was a little excited, Di Renjie was taken aback by his reaction, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of being an official?"

Sun Fujia also walked up to him in great confusion and asked, "Master Li, has he heard of Di Renjie?"

Li Hao really wanted to tell them, not only heard of it, it was like thunder, is there anyone in the future world who doesn't know Di Renjie? But it is well-known to everyone, and the classic line: "Yuan Fang, what do you think?" It became popular all over the Internet for a while.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Li Hao could only smack his lips and said, "I have heard a little bit, I heard that Di Renjie is a god-like detective at a young age, he is a rare talent."

"My lord is too famous." Di Renjie said modestly, "Although Di Renjie has solved a few cases, he is absolutely unworthy of being a master of detectives."

Seeing that Di Renjie was neither arrogant nor proud at such a young age, Li Hao was quite calm and very satisfied. He nodded and said: "This trip will be led by Di Renjie, and the others will be at his disposal."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. In terms of qualifications and experience, all the veterans present are higher than Di Renjie, but now Li Hao has appointed Di Renjie as the captain before Li Hao asked anything, which made them feel a little uncomfortable. convinced.

Di Renjie also looked confused, and wanted to push back, but Li Hao didn't give him a chance, said "Let's go", turned around and left.

A team of more than 60 people galloped to the northeast after leaving Chang'an City. Among them, 13 people were wearing official uniforms of Dali Temple. Pedestrians and vehicles on the official road saw them and all of them gave way. It is quite a scene of police cars clearing the way in later generations. .

On the side of West Turks, Garqin Mausoleum has led the team back. This time he has perfectly completed the task of forming an alliance. Marriage request, give Dililarna to Galqin Mausoleum, but Dililarna can only be picked up after Galqin Mausoleum sends 20 taels of gold dowry.

Garqin Mausoleum is busy guarding Tuyuhun, so it must not be free for the time being.

Xue Rengui's army marched all the way to Tuyuhun, marched for a little more than a month and a half, and arrived in Langzhou. It took more than 20 days to cut wood near Langzhou to build siege equipment, and then drove to Tuyuhun via Chiling with the siege equipment.

And the Garqin Mausoleum has been waiting for more than ten days by the Qinghai Lake in the southwest of Futeng City, Tuyuhun. When the scouts came to report that the [-] troops of the Tang Dynasty came, and the banner was a general surnamed Xue, he was very happy. He didn't pay attention to the [-] Tang troops, not to mention that Li Hao didn't come in person.

Thirty miles away from Fucheng City, Xue Rengui ordered the army to stop and set up camp by Qinghai Lake for a while to rest. After all, they marched all the way, and the troops and horses were exhausted. If they did not rest in time, they would easily be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Xue Rengui ordered someone to build a high platform in the camp, and then he went into the tooth tent alone, took out the kit bag that Li Hao gave him from his arms, opened it, and took out a roll of hard yellow paper inside, and saw that it was written crookedly. There are three lines of bad words: "Be careful of Tubo and Western Turks. First seek undefeated, then seek victory. It is impossible to do anything, Chang'an asks for help."

Xue Rengui frowned immediately, rolled up the hard yellow paper, and fell into deep thought. This was his first time as a commander leading troops to fight, and his experience was not very rich. He had to carefully deduce various possible situations and prepare well in advance Prepare, and prepare corresponding strategic measures at the same time.

Soon after the high platform was built, Xue Rengui boarded the high platform, picked up the binoculars that Li Hao gave him and looked around, and found that there seemed to be a group of people in the southwest of Fucheng City, stationed there, about 3 people, more than 60 kilometers away from here. inside.

Xue Rengui frowned suddenly. The origin of these 3 horses is unknown, and he didn't know if they belonged to Tuyuhun's army. He guessed that it should not belong to Tuyuhun. Outside the city, this obviously has ulterior motives.

Xue Rengui guessed that the [-] troops were likely to be Tubo troops. If so, he had a premonition that this battle would not be easy.

In the evening, a fast horse came running towards Futeng City. It was actually a peace envoy sent by King Nuogebo of Tuyuhun. This was as expected by Xue Rengui. These weak countries have always been like this. When the Great Tang army arrived, they pretended to be grandsons and begged for peace. There is no such good thing in the world.

Xue Rengui directly reprimanded the envoy of Tuyuhun severely, and asked him to send a message to Nuogebo, ordering him to surrender the city, and then drove the envoy away.

The envoy hurried back to Futeng City and conveyed Xue Rengui's original words. Nuo Gebo's eyebrows were twisted into twists. Although they had [-] defenders in Futeng City, he was full of fear of the Tang army, especially the last time Li Hao After defeating the Seven Kingdoms, Tuyuhun was as docile as a little sheep, but Datang still held grudges, which made him very distressed.

In desperation, Nuogebo could only send envoys to the marching camp of Garqin Mausoleum to ask him for help. Garqin Mausoleum had met him before and informed him of their intentions. They did not come to conquer Tuyuhun this time. It was to protect Tuyuhun. In fact, to put it nicely, he had already made a plan. As long as the Tang army was repelled, he would occupy Tuyuhun by the way, and completely divide Tuyuhun into Tubo's territory. This important territory is still in his own hands. Li was relieved.

Galqin Mausoleum met with Tuyuhun's envoy and asked him to send a message to Nuogebo, reassuring him that he would meet the enemy as he should.

Xue Rengui originally thought that the Tubo army would attack the camp at night, so he sent extra guards at night, but before the Tubo attack at night, Xue Rengui was a little confused and did not dare to attack rashly.

This exhaustion caused a problem. The Western Turkic army also arrived, and there was a total of 11 troops. Now, the Tubo and Western Turkic troops have [-] troops. If you add the [-] troops from Tuyuhun, it will be [-]. And Xue Rengui There are only [-] troops, and the disparity is not a little bit big.

Xue Rengui was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't attack rashly, otherwise if he was entangled by the Tubo army and the Western Turkic army came to follow his back, the [-] army would be completely wiped out.

Xue Rengui immediately sent [-] Li Kuaiqi to send the battle situation back to Chang'an, and at the same time asked for assistance. After all, there was such a huge disparity in military strength, it is not a shame to ask for help. Li Hao also told him to be steady and strive for victory.

The leader of Western Turks this time is Zhenyuan General Yang Long. Western Turks have two generals named Yang, one is Yang Hu and the other is Yang Long. These two are brothers. Yang Hu was defeated by Li Hao in Tingzhou a few years ago. , In the tent of death, Yang Long has always hated Tang Jun for this reason, this time he begged for nothing for the opportunity to lead the army, just to avenge his shame.

Immediately after he arrived, he sent scouts to inquire, and learned that the Tang army had only 2 people, and an unknown young general was in command, so he immediately ordered [-] troops to attack the Tang army camp at night.

Xue Rengui has always been on strict defense, and the defense is even tighter at night. All the sergeants sleep at night with their weapons close to their sides, sleeping with armor.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, which was a good opportunity to rob the camp. The [-] Western Turkic army quietly attacked, bypassing the city of Fuqi, and went straight to the Tang army camp.

Suddenly, Xue Rengui's personal guards reported loudly outside the tooth tent: "Master, there are rapid water marks in the water basin."

This is Li Hao's water pattern defense method, which is actually very simple, that is, put a large water basin in the camp, fill it with water, as long as the ground trembles slightly, there will be ripples in the water basin, representing The enemy soldiers and horses are attacking.

Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately ordered to blow the whistle to wake up the soldiers of the whole battalion, and waited in full force.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and the five thousand troops rushed to kill the Tang army's camp.

"Crossbow shoot!" With an order, countless bowstrings rang together. It turned out to be Datang's crossbow and arrow team. This is a high-tech unit of this era.

Countless arrows were as dense as raindrops, and the Western Turkic raiding cavalry team immediately turned their backs. Facing the powerful crossbow arrows of the Tang army, they lost half of their troops before they got within a hundred meters. The leading general saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly retreated. However, the cavalry of the Tang army had already rushed out of the camp, chasing and killing them all the way, and they chased them for nearly ten miles. Only a few hundred people from the five thousand army fled back, leaving behind corpses all over the place.

After this battle, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and the irritability of waiting here disappeared, and all the soldiers were full of expectations for the next battle.

When Galqin Mausoleum learned of the failure of the Western Turkic night attack on the Tang army, he snorted coldly. The Western Turkic generals also underestimated the enemy. The Tang army has always been strong, and it is not for nothing. , He has already acted, how could he have not acted all this time.

Yang Long's stupid behavior made Gal Qinling disdainful and angry at the same time, because this battle boosted the morale of the Tang army, and morale is very important in a war.

In the afternoon, Garqin Mausoleum ordered the whole army to advance in the direction of the Tang army, and he wanted to test the Tang army commander.

The Tubo army marched along the bank of Qinghai Lake, and did not stop until the Tang army was fifteen miles away. If it continued to move forward, the two armies would confront each other. Don't be afraid of Garqin Mausoleum, whose strength is already greater than that of the Tang army. , and there are [-] troops of Tuyuhun and Western Turks in the rear, what is he afraid of.

After Xue Rengui got the news, he immediately ordered the army to withdraw and temporarily avoid the front. At the same time, he sent a cavalry team to set out along Qinghai Lake to the southeast. He planned to let this cavalry team circle around Qinghai Lake and attack Tubo The army, when the time comes, his main army will cooperate with him, attacking back and forth, and hopefully defeat this Western Turkic army.

His idea can be said to be whimsical, because after the cavalry team left, it was difficult to get in touch with him, that is, they were in a state of disconnection. Even if they attacked the Tubo army at night, it would be difficult for their main force to cooperate immediately. If the raid failed, Then this cavalry team will be destroyed.

But Xue Rengui was not afraid, because he had binoculars. Even across the huge Qinghai Lake, he could still see the movement of the cavalry team, and he was ready to cooperate with them to complete the front and rear attack at any time.
