.Chapter 94: Shooting east and attacking west (Part 2)

After listening to Bashav's story, Buzariv realized that he had fallen into the trap of fighting against the west.

Why did the Tang army suddenly change its pace and come to Wuhu River at a quick speed in a lightweight manner? It was just to cross the river, but it was caught off guard, lack of troops and insufficient preparations. This is easier to understand.

But because of the actions of the Tang army in the middle, he neglected himself. He had also seen Guazhu Mountain and saw the willow bushes on the other side of the river. This terrain would lead to visual blind spots. So he deliberately set up an outpost on it. Although the terrain could play some cover, the river surface was wide, and if the Tang army crossed at night, it would still be discovered sooner or later.

But his lack of troops confuses the actions of the Tang army, and they actually transferred the original commander Dugal back. Moreover, the soldiers stationed in Guazhu Mountain were all Persians.

It was a mistake. I thought that the Tang army could successfully cross the river. After all, it had fewer troops, but I didn't expect that the Tang army would cross the river so easily and even defeat him. It was a small defeat. The real Dashi soldiers had only two or three hundred casualties. As for the casualties of the Persians, he ignored it.

But he is a powerful general under Salem. Although he was a small defeat, he was very clear-headed.

The Tang Dynasty army opened a breakthrough, but they came lightly and had to carry the war horses with the Wuhu River again, as well as weapons and supplies, and to build a simple fortification. They didn't go, but it could be imagined that at this moment, the thousands of Tang Dynasty troops on the east route were split into several groups, some were transporting supplies from the other side, some were pulling horses from the other side across the river, some were guarding prisoners, and some were repairing fortifications. But this was not enough. The Tang Dynasty army came to fight to the decisive battle and had to cross more soldiers across the river, otherwise these thousands of Tang troops would undoubtedly come to die.

In order to confuse them, how many rafts they can build in the past few days, even if it is such a rough raft, the large troops in the rear need to cross the river and prepare more supplies and rafts. There is also food. On the south bank of the Wuhu River, Governor Salem implemented a plan to clear the land for victory. Unless the city of Moufu is captured, it is difficult to find a grain of food. Or wait more than a month later, Xia will come.

Even if the Tang army's middle army moves to the East Army, even carries the rafts and runs regardless of the soldiers' physical strength. If you want to cross the river and complete your preparations for crossing the river, you will at least not until tomorrow at noon. At noon tomorrow, your large army behind will arrive.

However, with this landing point, the Tang army was able to make a turnaround, and most of the role of the Wuhu River was lost.

Therefore, a decision was made to lead the troops to defeat the Tang army that had landed on the ashore and rob the Guaju Mountain. However, the Tang army was divided into three groups, creating some problems for him.

After thinking about it, another decision was made.

There are 1,500 people left behind and resist in three parts. If the Tang army crosses the river, they will be severely injured and then huddle into the camp. Use the tightly arranged camp defense to guard the camp. This will not be difficult, and you only need to hold on for a day and a half at the latest.

He led other troops to Guazhu Mountain to deal with the Tang army.

Then the Tang army had only three roads to choose from. The army behind marched at night in the middle of yesterday and could only arrive until the evening. This was definitely too late. Otherwise, it would not be confusing itself. Either the central army would divide its troops to support it, it would not be possible to know whether there was a raft in the camp on the East Road of the Tang Dynasty for them to cross the river. There was a time to cross the river and a time to judge that it would be enough to defeat the Tang army on the Guaju Mountain.

Either you have to force cross the river, then run from land to Guazhu Mountain to provide support. This is also feasible. The troops you have left are small and cannot prevent the Tang army from landing. But if you want to catch up, you must occupy the beach first and then lead the horses over. This will delay a lot of time. You will also annihilate the Tang army on the east route and wait for it.

Either the hero cut off his arm, discarded the Tang army, and forced himself to land. However, the time to camp and prepare materials and weapons cannot be completed before evening. Landing together will be clumsy in action. If you separate, your own central camp is still there and the Western camp is still there, which will separate their mutual connection and cannot cooperate.

Thinking of this, a series of orders were issued.

Let the Xiying army not move lightly, and focus on defending the camp. Then send people to inform Salem with a fast horse and ask him to send a group of cavalry to support and support. If the Tang army adopts the first strategy and fight on Guazhu Mountain, do not be sure to let them land on the shore, so that the Wuhu River will continue to work. If the second strategy is adopted, defend Guazhu Mountain, attack inside and outside, and defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop. If the third strategy is adopted, constantly use the advantages of the cavalry and constantly harass them, so that they cannot successfully build the camp and transport materials and weapons to the south bank. When the army arrives tomorrow, they will be defeated in one fell swoop.

It is also possible that the Tang army combines more than two tactics.

But in that case, their troops do not have an absolute advantage, unless the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army is several times better than that of itself, that is impossible.

After giving the order, he asked his subordinates to leave immediately. He led the army to quickly pounce on Guazhu Mountain.

But this time Buzarif made a mistake. Not only him, but even Salem made a mistake, believing that once the Tang army invaded the Wuhu River, crossed the river, and fought.

Not so. The Tang army's goal was just to grab a bridgehead.

This misunderstanding was also caused by the growth history of Dashi. The Great Cannibal's military command was invincible. Unless there was almost no large-scale stalemate wars because of the seven-year battle in Constantinople. I also saw the Tang army's battle in the Western Regions, whether it was Wang Fangyi and Li Weiyili's battle on the waterfront, they were quick to fight. This was also consistent with the fighting style of the Dashi army, and the style of their previous fighting with the Turks in the River.

However, in the history of ancient Chinese wars, the Three Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties or the Chu-Han struggle all staged countless classic stalemate wars. Some held the city, but most were large-scale wild stalemates.

Do you have to go to a grand battle when crossing the river?

Therefore, Buzarif thought that he could easily defeat the Eastern Army, which Luo Wu had been consolidated. According to Bashaf's report, the Tang army suffered few casualties, but they crossed the river from midnight and fought fiercely. At this moment, fortifications were built and materials were transported. The soldiers were exhausted and could definitely win easily.

Guessed wrongly.

In order to seize the time, Luo Wuqian only transported a batch of large food supplies, and burned all the others. Dashi was defeated and threw a large number of weapons and armor, and only picked up the weapons. After all, he had insufficient weapons and did not take time to strip the armor. Then he helped the wounded soldiers back to the camp. He did not spend time returning to Hebei and transported the supplies back to Guazhu Mountain. Instead, he concentrated on building a defensive fortification in Guazhu Mountain. The second mistake made by Buzarif was that he always regarded the central army of the Tang Dynasty as an imaginary enemy, so he left several catapults. This won a lot of vitality.

Guazhu Mountain is composed of nine small hills of varying heights. The length of a mile is less than 400 meters wide. If a trencher is brought, half of the area of ​​Guazhu Mountain can cover the range of the trencher. The Tang army hurriedly attacked and barely built a fortification. It would be great if there was time to build a trench to avoid it? If a large number of trenchers are brought, the sparse forests cannot stop the huge rocks falling in the sky. Then the effect of this fortification built in hastily will be reduced by half.

Buzarif led his army to leave, and the remaining 1,500 soldiers were given to Dugal as the leader.

He was also a good general. When he gave this order, Bugliff felt a little regretful. If Dugal was left in the East Envoy, the Tang Dynasty army might have taken down Guaju Mountain, but it would never be so easy. At least it could win precious time for himself.

He thought it was OK.

Seeing him leading his army away, the Tang Dynasty army changed again. The middle army continued to divide the two sides. The troops on both sides divided the two miles to the two sides. This point turned into five groups. Dugal was stunned. If there were more than 10,000 troops in his hand, even if the Tang army was divided into nine groups, the problem would not be serious. But there were only 1,500 people in his hand, and the central camp had to stick to it. What should I do if this point?

After only a few splits, Buzarif's arrangement was ruined.

After thinking about it, I had to make adjustments again and ask the scouts to return to the notice, and two hundred soldiers were assigned to garrison on the left and right.

But what effect can this point have? However, it is far from that. Seeing the Dashi army adjusting, Li Wei made another change. The remaining troops were small, and this weakness could be infinitely amplified. The middle route continued to divide the troops, and the other four routes also divided the troops, extending two new routes to more than two miles away.

It was dawn at this time, and the light morning light rose on the surface of the Wuhu River, which was thinner than the gauze. The river water was blue and the scenery was very beautiful. However, when Dugal heard his subordinates' reports, he almost collapsed and thought, "I won't take this kind of fun."

In this way, with the central camp as the center, nearly eight miles to both sides. Although it was dawn, there was no change in both sides. Moreover, it was far away, and it was entirely up to the scouts to report. After thinking about it, I would waste time by moving back and forth. After thinking about it, I moved the newly divided two forces to the middle again and compressed them into three ways to ensure that the central camp was not lost.

Only then did Li Wei order the horn to be blown.

The Nine Route Army officially began to cross the river.

True and false. The actual crossing of the river was the East Second Route Army. Dugal paid attention to the situation and sent people to notify Buzarif. The Tang army in the middle of the third line of the Tang Dynasty had padded the raft to the middle of the river. The Dashi army had already prepared crossbows, and some placed stones on the throwing bags. But the Tang army suddenly stopped. They stayed in the center of the river for a while, and suddenly turned their heads and paddled back.

Dugler was puzzled. But he felt a little cold in his heart. The enemies he encountered this time were far from the enemies of various countries he had encountered before, and they were extremely cunning. Since the army arrived here, it was true and false, and it was confusing. I guessed it many times, but I could not guess their real intention.

After rowing back, Dugal saw a new change in the Tang army. The army on the west route was running back, and the army on the middle route was running east. Finally, he realized that the enemy took advantage of his lack of troops and kept dividing his troops. In the end, he could cross the river safely. The place where he really crossed the river was in the east. If he crossed over, he could support the Tang army in Guazhu Mountain.

But when I woke up, it was too late. The enemy had occupied the beach. Even before, I had no effect. I had few troops, the river bank was empty, and the troops were distributed, so I could see at a glance. After defending the East Second Route, there was no way for the other routes to defend. On the contrary, because I was far away from the camp, the camp might be lost and the entire army would be wiped out.

Sure enough, the scout came back to report that the enemy had occupied the beach. The situation was over, so Dugal had to order the three routes to merge, return to the Central Camp, and guard the Central Camp camp. He also sent someone to notify Dugal and asked him to prepare in advance. The Tang Dynasty army crossed the river and was about to go where you were going, and you must make arrangements in time.

The second group of Tang troops crossed the river again, this time it was very large, and a large number of war horses were brought in. Not only that, Li Wei also began to set off. Zhang Renyuan held him: "Your Majesty, don't take risks."

"What kind of adventure is this? And the danger I was in Qinghai that time? The reason why I wanted to go there was to see the real combat power of the great cannibal."

After letting himself fool him, almost all the elite troops near the Wuhu River were concentrated in the middle. Since Buzarif led his army to Guazhu Mountain, he was the elite among the elite. In this battle, he could see the true combat power of the great cannibal.

He also said, "After I leave, you stay in the central camp, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes."

Zhang Renyuan couldn't persuade him, so he had to respond: "Here."

Ten thousand Tang troops crossed the river and boarded the horses. The remaining soldiers brought the rafts back. The Great Cannibal had few troops and adopted a defensive strategy. They did not make rafts, so they took them away and did not give the Great Cannibal a chance to counterattack Hebei.

This delay took a long time. The war in Guazhu Mountain was at its most tragic time.

The melon egg mountain is not very long. In addition to the more than 200 soldiers who were sacrificed and injured, the main force was retained, and more than 1,000 prisoners were added. These prisoners were trembling and shouted many times. They surrendered and refused to kill them. Let you go home.

But isn't you really letting you go home?

In order not to kill them, and to go home, we worked extra hard to get up. While eating breakfast in a hurry, we kept building fortifications. Luo Wuqi was inspired by Xue Ne and sent Persian soldiers to persuade them, why do you want to help the cannibals? Have you forgotten that you are Persians? Have you forgotten that you have been in Persia for more than a thousand years and have been arrogant? Now that we are the Tang Dynasty and the countries in the river are here to help you, and we Tocharo also help you. How many troops can the cannibals have in Persia? If we don’t help us, even if you Persians muster up the courage, you can expel them from the beautiful Sindhi, Khorasan and Sestan. So many friendly troops are here to help you, but you are willing to be other people’s dogs and slaves?

These prisoners were ashamed of their shame. But they were determined to say this, and they would probably not kill them if they said so.

But time is too tight.

After simply nailing the cut down trees into a rough fence with nails, smoke and dust rolled in the distance, and the big cannibal came.

This was unexpectedly what Buzarif expected. He did not expect that he would come very quickly, so he asked the Tang army to build a fence. It was extremely rough and even left a huge gap, allowing one person to calmly penetrate. But the wood nailed on it was very thick enough to block the horse's collision.

Buzarif's heart was full of confusion. Why did the Tang army just concentrate on building fortifications and not transporting the materials and horses from behind in time?

I didn't figure it out, but knew that the time was urgent, so I rode a horse and saw about it, and asked more than 12,000 soldiers under my command and hundreds of deserters who returned to the team along the way. The terrain was not very bad, and I had seen it before, but I never expected that a fierce battle would start here. I looked at it again. I saw nine short hills, three in the middle, and the four hills on both sides were almost ignored, just four small earth buns rising from the ground. In addition, because I was leaning against the Wuhu River, the ground was wet and there were sparse trees. However, the hills were mainly sand and gravel, and there were only a small amount of sand and soil, which made the mountains not only sparse, but also not tall.

With the sunshine, you can clearly see the activities of the Tang Dynasty army in the woods.

It is not high, and as a defensive terrain, the effect will not be very ideal. Then I confirmed the number of Tang army again.

With the advantage of being a large number of people, Buzarif could also play it out as an excellent general. So he ordered, so the cavalry dismounted the war horses, the infantry took off, and three teams were listed, with two thousand people in each team, and they were divided into left, center and right to launch an attack. More than 7,000 troops were escorted in the back.

Each team of shield soldiers mixed with archers and covered each other. At the same time, each wearing a scimitar around his waist, ready to attack at any time.

Luo Wuqian was also watching. After looking for a while, he said to Xue Ne and Xin Chengsi: "This is a strong enemy."

Xue Ne nodded, of course she was a strong enemy. Otherwise, this was just a country that was not big or small, and it would not have become the most powerful country in the West in just a few decades. The battle last night was not the real combat power of the Big Food soldiers.

The adjustments were made immediately, one divided into four, Jiang four jin, Xue Ne and Xin Chengsi each led 1,000 troops to attack head-on. Luo Wu was escorted to the formation.

Three teams entered the back of the fence and hid behind the trees. However, the trees were sparse and could not have a good shelter.

Seeing the enemy approaching, when he reached fifty steps, Luo Wu blew the horn.

Three batches of arrows were flying out.

But except for a few Persian troops, the Great Cannibals, the other soldiers covered each other very calmly and continued to move forward. That's it. Buzarif was also very dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "Those who retreated, those who quarrel were killed."

After a shout, the Persians did not dare to panic again due to his tyranny.

He shouted again: "Arrow."

The archers hid behind the shield player and raised their bows and arrows to fight back. While fighting back, they moved. At a distance of fifty steps, soldiers on both sides were occasionally killed by arrows. At this time, a horse rushed in the distance. Reporting the first news, the Tang Dynasty divided its troops again, divided into seven routes, intending to cross the river.

When Buzarif heard this, he understood Li Wei's intention. This was to use his military strength to make an open plan to cross the river. But he also felt that time was urgent. He shouted again: "Each team supports another 500 soldiers to go up."

One thousand five hundred great food soldiers walked out of the array, divided into three parts, and rushed up.
