Chapter 2121 Discussion before the formation
The Tang army marched out of Baidao and advanced wildly, achieving numerous military exploits.
If we can't annihilate the remnant army of Xue Yantuo in front of us and accomplish all our efforts in one battle, it will be hard to call it perfect. It will be like a white jade with slight flaws and flaws.
With such monstrous achievements, who can not pursue something neat and perfect?
Once Bazhuo is forced into Langjuxu Mountain and broken into pieces, it is almost impossible to annihilate them all...
In fact, even if Bazhuo was defeated like a mountain and faced with the tribesmen who had fled into the mountains and dispersed, it would be difficult to assemble them. So at this moment, Bazhuo still has a little extravagant hope, even if Unable to defeat the Tang army, they also dragged it to Mobei, making it difficult to decide whether to advance or retreat, and eventually had to withdraw its troops.
As long as the Tang army withdraws its troops, Bazhuo will survive.
Therefore, now Ba Zhuo is betting that the Tang army does not dare to attack...
The Tang army set up camp along the frozen Yuwushui River, facing Xue Yantuo's remnant army not far away, and no one dared to fight easily.
Xue Wanche summoned Xue Rengui and others to discuss countermeasures in the camp.
As a result, they discussed for half a night, filled countless pots of tea, and both of them were frowning and yawning, and there was no way to do anything.
Li Siwen couldn't bear his temper and said angrily: "How can we be sure that once the war breaks out, Bazhuo will escape into the mountains? This man killed his brother and finally usurped the position of Khan. If all the people dispersed into the mountains, This Khan is just a decoration. How many people will be left around him at that time is a question! In my opinion, this person is basically sure that we don’t dare to attack, so we are cautious.”
I have to say, what he said actually makes sense.
Bazhuo would be willing to disperse all his troops into the mountains, making the position of khan that he finally came to become a decoration, and no one would obey his orders?
Definitely not.
But no one dares to bet...
Again, what if?
Xue Rengui's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "We have no choice but to take care of many things. If we had not launched a fierce attack before dawn and did not give Ba Zhuo time to react, if we could capture or even kill him in one fell swoop, the rest of Xue Yantuo's remnants would have escaped." Let them go deep into the mountains! Otherwise, if we continue to be entangled like this, when the climate gets warmer and the frozen soil melts, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for us.”
Xue Wanche nodded slowly.
There is really no choice but to do this...
At this moment, the soldiers came to report that Fang Jun had arrived with his army.
Everyone hurriedly got up, went back to the tents, put on their armor, put on their helmets, and went to greet him.
To the west of Yuwushui, Fang Jun arrived at night, and Xue Wanche led his people to meet him. He said with shame: "Erlang gave up the unearned merit of chasing down the enemy to his brother, but he was swayed by this Ba Zhuo. In this wolf It’s not easy to choose between advance and retreat at the foot of Juxu Mountain. It’s really shameless to meet you! ”
Fang Jun laughed, stepped forward to greet Xue Wanche, and said, "Brother, why are you so depressed? The battlefield is changing rapidly. Who could have expected that Ba Zhuo would be so cunning, occupying Langjuxu Pass to retreat in order to advance, forcing us to There is nothing you can do, but don’t worry, brother, I am here to bring you two distinguished guests, which will surely alleviate your brother’s worries.”
After saying this, he summoned Tumidu and Tuomazhi to come forward and meet everyone.
Xue Wanche was confused for a while: "How could these two people be in Erlang's hands?"
He has not yet understood the importance of these two people, but Xue Rengui is overjoyed!
With Tuo Mo Zhi, the situation suddenly clears up!
All it takes is to capture and kill Bazhuo in one fell swoop. Even if the remnants of Xue Yantuo escape into the mountains, they can still be appeased by Tuo Mozhi. After all, like Yinan Khan, they are descendants of Yequin Khan of Tiele Khanate, and they have pure blood. , has the same qualifications to succeed Xue Yantuo Khan as Yinan Khan and Bazhuo!
Tens of thousands of troops rushed forward to attack Xue Yantuo's army. Even if he had three heads and six arms, could he still escape?
Tumidu was the most powerful Uighur chief among the Tiele tribes except Xue Yantuo. He had a good reputation in the clan. No one dared to disobey orders!
As long as he is here, Huihe will definitely turn against the enemy!
Xue Rengui was full of energy, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said loudly: "General, please give me orders. In the battle tomorrow, I will definitely bring Zhuo's head to see you!"
Fang Jun patted Xue Yantuo on the shoulder. This future general of the Tang Empire had already shown his talents in the Northern Expedition. He was invincible in all the battles. Even with the blessing of the power of firearms, he could not conceal his own brilliance. !
As long as you think about the fact that such famous generals who are destined to be famous for future generations come from under your command, the sense of accomplishment of "cultivating" makes people uncontrollably proud...
"No hurry, no hurry, let's go, let's go to the big tent to discuss in detail. We must win the battle and not give Zhuo a chance to breathe!"
"Here!"
The generals responded with a roar and their morale was high.
*****
Inside the tent, candles were burning high.
On the ground, wooden boxes containing ammunition were temporarily assembled into a simple table. Several large pots of hot stew were served, and the aroma filled the tent.
Drinking is not allowed in the army. Everyone holds a bowl of rice and eats it.
They were all strong men in the army, and each of them devoured several large pots of stew and soup. Then the soldiers withdrew and made a large pot of boiling tea and brought it to them.
Fang Jun sat in the first place, holding a teacup in his hand, feeling the heat of the teacup slowly dissipating the severe cold in Mobei, and then he said: "Let's discuss how to proceed."
Tumidu and Dumozhi looked at each other and drank tea in silence.
The two of them had finally made up their mind. They would do whatever Fang Jun asked them to do. They must maintain a well-behaved and obedient image, and they must not appear to be thinking too much, lest Fang Jun think they have too many ideas and ambitions, and give up on them cruelly. , and then replace someone to serve as the puppet of Tang Dynasty ruling Mobei...
Fang Jun looked at Xue Wanche. Apart from him, he had the highest military rank.
Xue Wanche took a sip of tea, wiped his beard, and nodded Xue Rengui with his carrot-like fingers: "You say."
Since the beginning of Xue Yantuo's tent in Yu Dujun Mountain, the two have fought side by side, sweeping away all the Hu tribes in Mobei. Xue Wanche is very optimistic about Xue Rengui, his "family". He is highly skilled, brave and good at fighting, and has a flexible mind and proficient in military tactics. He is a good man with both wisdom and courage. seedling.
He may seem vulgar, but in fact he has his own merits, which is self-knowledge.
He knew that he was quite proficient in marching formations, but he was definitely not good at strategizing and predicting enemy aircraft. He was not jealous of those clever and cunning guys. If there was a problem, he would let these people use their brains to think through it. Think about it, just charge into battle, how easy would it be?
Everyone looked at Xue Rengui.
Everyone knew that although this man was young, he was a scholar before joining the army, and his life was poor, but everyone was convinced by his ability in the army.
Xue Rengui looked at Fang Jun, and when he saw the latter giving him a slight nod, he did not give in and said in a deep voice: "If Tuo Mozhi is here, then there is no fear of Xue Yantuo's remnant army escaping into the mountains. So the most difficult part of this battle is It depends on whether Ba Zhuo can be captured and killed so that Xue Yantuo's dragons are leaderless. Only then can they gather people's hearts and achieve a miraculous effect. In my opinion, it will suddenly happen tomorrow morning. Regardless of how Xue Yantuo arranged or reacted, I led five thousand elite men directly into the enemy's center. I used thunder to open the way and met them head-on. I captured and killed Bazhuo in one fell swoop! Or if they are captured, Xue Yantuo's remnant army will be scattered. At that time, Chief Tumidu will gather the Huihe tribe, and Tuomo will gather Xue Yantuo's remaining army, and a big thing will be done!"
This move was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations because it was too simple.
Fang Jun pondered for a moment.
It can be said that there is basically no tactical strategy, it is just a head-to-head "decapitation tactic". The Tang army with firearms can break through the enemy's center, bite Ba Zhuo to death, and capture him. As long as Bazhuo dies, the rest of Xue Yantuo's remnant army will not be a concern, not to mention the descendants of Dumozhi, the Khan family.
Fang Jun immediately looked around: "What do you think?"
Xue Wanche shook his big head and said: "Good!"
He agreed, how could Li Siwen and others under his command say no?
Fang Jun then looked at Dumozhi and Tumidu: "Do you two have any insights?"
Duo Mozhi shook his head and said: "This is a very good move. As long as Ba Zhuo dies, I can gather the remaining soldiers and make them all attached to the Tang Dynasty!"
Tu Midu said: "Tomorrow, the situation in the battle formation will change unpredictably. If I had not sneaked into Xue Yantuo's camp tonight, returned to the Uihe headquarters, and hidden in the army tomorrow, and command the Uihe troops to cooperate with the commander-in-chief, things would have changed." To be safe.”
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at Fang Jun.
I want to see if Fang Jun has the courage to let him return to the Huihe camp... (End of this chapter)
