The reason why Mochu sent troops was because of Zong Chuke's strong request and dissatisfaction...

But his movements are indeed unknown. Even his confidants around him don’t know what Mochu was thinking.

Mochuo came to the city of Yinzhou and started siege, but it was not considered a real siege. He sent soldiers to the city wall and shot arrows and left immediately, without even giving him a chance to counterattack.

Then send troops to plunder everywhere.

In this battle, the biggest loss was not Shanzhou or Guzhou. Although these two states used space to exchange time for victory, they transferred more than half of the people in the prefectures and counties, and the delayed production was impossible to calculate.

However, compared with Yinzhou, these two states are still drizzling.

The capital of Yinzhou is Huaiyuan City, which was later famous Xingqing Prefecture and Yinchuan. However, the four counties under its jurisdiction, Rulin, Funing, and Zhenxiang, were consecrated in Jiaxian County, Shaanxi to Mizhi and a few areas in Hengshan. Its actual area borders Liuhu Prefecture and Suizhou. When Wang Hua was in Fengzhou, he often brought soldiers to train in the four counties and had a good mass base.

This is a very strange organization, but it is not considered geographical or military factors, which protects the borders of the Tang Dynasty, so Huaiyuan City is regarded as the capital of Yinzhou.

In order to reduce losses and make room, Wang Hua transferred almost all the people in the four counties to the rear of Lingzhou, Yanzhou and Huaiyuan City in advance. This is different from Lanzhou. Lanzhou was an army led by Zong Chuke, and the royal army of the court. In order to influence, they did not dare to kill the people casually.

However, Chang Yuankai was almost all of Hu soldiers, who were very far away from the capital. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, and there was no distinction between discipline and the country. Once the attack was made and the people did not retreat, the consequences would be very serious.

With this abolition, the four counties almost became an empty county. Because of its vast territory, Yinzhou originally registered more than 40,000 people in the Ministry of Revenue, which is the second largest state among the eight prefectures. Later, some people were moved, resulting in more than 70,000 people.

The loss can be imagined after evacuation.

It is precisely because of this evacuation that from Yanzhou to Lingzhou, many people have been squeezed out, including the rear of Yinzhou City.

Mochu's plundering caused great harm to the people of the Eight Prefectures.

Kong Heizi wanted to lead troops out of the city to snipe several times in Yinzhou City, but was afraid of this. Zhu Tong wrote several letters in succession and sent them to Yinzhou City with a fast horse, warning Kong Heizi not to act rashly.

The losses are heavy. But no matter how heavy the losses are, you have to endure them. The opponent Mochuo is a very cunning fox. If Kong Heizi sends troops to defeat, then Huaiyuan City may be lost immediately. Once Huaiyuan City is lost, the five thousand soldiers of Lingzhou City rely on Wukeli will undoubtedly be like a beautiful woman taking off all her clothes, and Lingzhou has hoarded a large amount of supplies. Once Lingzhou is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhu Tong even believed that the reason why Mochu did this was to anger Kong Heizi and lead Kong Heizi's army to the outside of the city to annihilate it. Then he attacked Lingzhou.

Therefore, in Yinzhou, the Blood Camp showed a rare weak side.

But this consequence led to the resentment of the blood camp towards the court.

If the court had not divided so many troops and came in a fierce manner and the troops were under the city, Mochuo would have dared to be so rampant in Yinzhou?

Due to distance, Zong Chuke didn't know that Mochuo had actually sent troops. Only Chang Yuankai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

But he did not expect that Mochu's invasion only hurt some people. Of course, the Turks and Tubo were a nation that raised wars. They plundered the people for logistics. But this result caused the soldiers of the Blood Camp to transfer hatred to his head.

The strange fortification war in Mukeling continues.

Chang Yuankai began to ask the soldiers to dig tunnels. He had one of the biggest advantages, that is, there were many people, and he got tools from the rear and digged them immediately. It was not very difficult, and the tunnel was progressing smoothly. After a night of hard work, he quickly approached the underground of the bunker bush.

On the fourth day, the sun came out, and Chang Yuankai continued to let the soldiers dig. He was arrogant and had a capital to bully the other party. Moreover, on the ground, no matter whether the blood camp uses fire attack or great ability, he could not reach the ground with water attack.

As the sun rises higher and higher, everyone puts their eyes under the ground, and there will be an invisible battle wherever it will unfold fiercely.

At this time, Shi Jinle was lying under the tunnel of the bunker, listening to the movements on the surface with his ears. As time went by, he finally heard the sound of mud being dug up.

The enemy was coming, and he waved his hand. More than 300 soldiers spread out along the long tunnel, and then attached themselves to the soil with their ears to listen. After listening for a while, they also picked up the shovel in their hands and started digging the soil. Perhaps a little different from what Chang Yuankai imagined above, they dug the soil in the direction of the tunnel dug by the enemy.

Finally, the two tunnels were connected together. Without any defense, the Tang Dynasty soldiers screamed, and then several bows and arrows shot to block the tunnel.

We were prepared for this situation. The Tang Dynasty engineers retreated to the back, climbed over to the archers, and both sides shot at each other.

When the two sides are fighting, the second, third and fourth tunnels are respectively collided.

Then Shi Jinle waved his hand, and more than 300 people immediately retreated into the straight tunnel behind, but ignited all kinds of cotton, rotten grass and oil piled in the horizontal tunnel. Then he pulled up the iron gate of the tunnel and sealed the tunnel with mud, because there were several ambushings behind, and there were also burning objects inside, so the fire could not be suppressed back.

These burning substances were very dry and suddenly became increasingly burnt, spreading into a sea of ​​fire inside the tunnel.

Chang Yuankai was still watching, but when he saw thick smoke rising from the cracks on the ground, he realized that something was going to be bad. Just as he was thinking, more thick smoke came out from the entrance of the tunnel, and then many embarrassed soldiers came out.

In fact, not many people were burned to death. Only a few soldiers near the tunnel entrance were swept in by the fire without any protection. They did not escape. Most of the soldiers escaped. They were so infused and stuffy. After all, the oxygen under the ground was not very good, and the large amount of combustion took away a lot of oxygen. The lack of oxygen caused the fire to burn from the beginning to the slow burn, and also produced a lot of carbon monoxide. The fire in the tunnel was not very strong, but there was a lot of smoke.

Chang Yuankai was a little angry, but this did not have much hindered his plan. Just burn it. When the burn is finished, send soldiers in. Could it be that there are burning objects under the ground? Even if the depth is getting further and further, will it be that the soldiers in the bunker be suffocated to death?

The smoke dissipated very slowly and it was not completely dissipated until the afternoon.

Chang Yuankai sent soldiers in again, but the other party's old tricks repeated, and this trouble was midnight.

Feng Changqing curled up on the ground, thinking about his worries. After a few days, he truly won the respect of the soldiers because of his perfect performance in this offensive and defensive battle.

However, he knew that this was not the case, but fortunately the fourth day passed again. And there was also good news under Yanzhou City that all the fortifications ended today.

This made him close his eyes with peace of mind.

At this time, Chang Yuankai and the generals did not rest. They received a war report sent by Cao Cen and asked Chang Yuankai to send troops to support immediately. At this time, Cao Cen had not seen the ambush of the Blood Camp, but he subconsciously thought that the Blood Camp was deliberately trying to toss his soldiers, so that the soldiers could not get rest, and they could not recover their physical strength without rest. Moreover, the soldiers had no morale after this tossing. It is possible that they would take action next.

Chang Yuankai was as puzzled as Jiang Zhuo, where did the troops come from the Blood Camp?

Now the Blood Camp is about to start a war in five places. Guo Yuanzhen does not work hard, but at least part of the troops in the Blood Camp will be divided, right?

Mochu was extremely cunning, and he also worked ten points of work and used three points of strength. But he was definitely not here to make a comeback. Once the defense of the Blood Camp was relaxed, Mochu would not be unaware of Lingzhou City.

Tubo and the Blood Camp are as deep as the sea, and this also requires the Blood Camp to deal with it. In addition to Zong Chuke's army, there are still many troops in the northwest direction of the eight states. In addition to the army that sniped itself in front of you, the army left behind to ambush Cao Cen.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he said to his guard: "Get the map."

The personal guard brought the map over. He looked carefully on the map, and then said to the generals: "Look, the Blood Camp is going to remove the army from the north and leave the army defense. It is possible that some troops have been distributed to Nanhetao. Now this army is stopping us from advancing in front of us, so are there any soldiers in Yanzhou City now?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

When you arrive in Yanzhou, you must go to Mukeling because you carry a lot of supplies. However, if you leave the supplies behind, there are not no roads. There are many mountain paths that can be directly inserted into the city of Yanzhou. But there is one premise: if you cannot conquer Yanzhou City in a short time, because there is a lack of supplies, it will be a disaster in four or five days.

But if Yanzhou City had no defensive soldiers, it would be easier to conquer Yanzhou. Now Wang Hua has withdrawn all the four counties of Yinzhou and the people in the east of Yanzhou City to the two states and cities, and there are many supplies in both prefectures. As long as Yanzhou is captured, the defense of Mukeling will become waste.

It is completely possible to ignore it and continue to send troops to the northwest to attack Lingzhou. Combined with Mochu, the three states of Lingyan and silver will be lost in an instant.

At that time, we will use our army to suppress the south, and attack Yuanzhou and Huizhou in three directions with Zong Chuke's army and Guo Yuanzhen's army, one west, one south and one north. We will also be very easy to attack Yuanzhou and Huizhou in three directions.

Thinking of this, he immediately said excitedly: "Send scouts immediately."

Because these roads are all paths, most of them are not marked on the map. Even if they are marked, they are not very detailed. Therefore, scouts have to be sent to inquire.

On the fifth day, Chang Yuankai still sent soldiers to drill into the tunnel, but now it has changed its nature. This is a way to make a fool of others.

But he was just a blind eye to steal the bell. Feng Changqing received information from his subordinates early in the morning. There were many scouts from each other on the mountain roads on both sides of Mukeling. Wang Hua was just worried about this, and Feng Changqing was also worried about this.

Therefore, despite the weak force, some scouts were sent to pay attention to these paths. Seeing Chang Yuankai's scouts coming, some scouts even launched an ambush and counterattack. It was just because the other party sent too many scouts, so they had to escape one by one.

On the other hand, Chang Yuankai also learned the news. This time he did not pretend, so he simply opened up and stopped to attack. Then he began to divide his troops. In the afternoon, he was divided into three armies with weapons and simple dry food, and set out towards three easier paths.

The Blood Camp still had no movement, but when it was dark, Feng Changqing summoned all the soldiers together and returned. Because of the detour, Chang Yuankai's soldiers would delay some time. But if they didn't go back, as Chang Yuankai thought, Yanzhou was an empty city, and it might be possible that the flag would be changed tomorrow morning.

A dozen soldiers were left behind, and the others quietly blocked their sight with the help of the slope and returned to the city of Yanzhou, where they would use the second line of defense to block Chang Yuankai's army.

But he sighed in his heart, "Five days."

It was a long five days!

But in Nanhetao, Blood Camp won another great victory.

Looking at the 20,000 troops opposite, Zhang Shougui said, "Poor child, you must be in trouble now."

Cao Cen is not a child, but he is really in trouble now. He knows what impact this fire will have.

But what should I do now? If I retreat, all the other side are cavalry, and I can only withdraw the cavalry, and the infantry will be wiped out. Even the cavalry may not escape. After harassment this day and night, all the soldiers will lose their morale and physical strength. They will be chased by the enemy and eliminate most of the troops.

If you don’t escape, garrison it on site and quickly set up a fortification. If you can still make a fortune under normal circumstances, the other party can burn these wolf smokes, but it is not a pile of wolf smokes. What are the consequences?

Just as he was hesitating, the fire started to burn.

If it was a big fire, Cao Cen would not care. Even if Wang Hua moved all the food and grass from Lingzhou, he would not be able to burn his soldiers at such a long distance.

It is mainly smoke, which will spread through wind and heat, blocking the sight of its soldiers. The other party is carrying the wind direction and has little impact on the sight. At least one of his subordinates is blinded by half, while the other party is only half blind. And there is no such smoke, and with the current morale, it is impossible to be the opponent of the other party.

A long fire dragon quickly spread six or seven miles, and flew into the air with large swaths of smoke.

Some of these substances are deliberately semi-dry and are not easy to burn them completely. They are the same as those in the canal. One is due to insufficient oxygen and the other is due to moisture. And there are a lot of irritating substances mixed in it.

This arrangement is not to defeat the opponent, but to win the greatest victory at the lowest cost. Not only do you have to win, but you also have to maintain the strength of the Yuheng Army. Not only for the safety of the soldiers, but also for the sake of the safety of the soldiers, but also for the reinforcements of this force, both Yanzhou and Lingzhou.

The smoke immediately spread to Cao Cen's army with the wind. In the blink of an eye, it looked like the sun fell, and the sky and the earth were dark. Not only was it like a stimulus, but it also caused the soldiers to cry and cough because of some irritants.

At this time, Cao Cen had no choice but to hesitate.

He immediately issued an order: "The whole army gathered, threw down the baggage, and broke northward."

Not far to the south is Xingning County, but now there are 100,000 taels of gold placed in Xingning County, and he dare not break south.

This order may not be necessary. The breakout is true. All the cavalry immediately fled north in a panic. There were many infantry in the army, and they became the biggest victims. They also followed the army to flee north, but now they are not clear in sight, but the sight is clear, and the other one is in charge, and most of them are trampled on by their own war horses and died.

Zhang Shougui immediately ordered the division of 1,000 soldiers, to sweep away some lost direction and a small number of surviving infantry. The third regiment stopped the front, and the sixth regiment central army rushed towards the enemy's main force.

Ten thousand new forces came over like a whirlwind.

Unlike the enemy's blindness, Yuheng's army had targets to kill, and they also used Cao Cen's army to practice the tactics taught by Wang Hua.'

They rushed into the enemy army in swarms, which seemed messy, but they were not. They used the bravest soldiers as their cone heads to forcibly break the enemy's formation. Then the army caught up, cut the enemy into small circles, and then swam constantly, maintaining the situation of annihilation of a minority with the majority. They threw most of the enemy's troops behind and ignored them. After annihilation, the enemy was cut again.

This tactic is also one of Yuan Meng's wolf biting tactics, and it forms an important part of the wolf biting tactics with the scout's harassment tactics. This tactic made Genghis Khan famous invincible in the world.

But now the cooperation between the blood camp is very unfamiliar, and this actual training is not ideal.

The soldiers of the Blood Camp rushed into Cao Cen's army and were defeated. Where did the enemy resist? And when the soldiers of the Blood Camp shouted, "Surrender and not kill, put down their weapons and squat to the side, you can avoid death."

Even the cavalry saw that there were still soldiers in the Blood Camp blocking ahead, so they turned over and dismounted, squatted aside with their hands raised and surrendered.

As for Cao Cen who truly became a poor child, his three personal guards saw that something was wrong, so they came to him by protecting Cao Cen, raised their swords and cut Cao Cen into three and half, and asked for credit and reward from the Blood Camp.

In two hours, the battle was over.

Cao Cen himself was killed. In this battle, more than 7,000 Cao Cen soldiers were killed and more than 11,000 Tang soldiers were captured. This was repeatedly instructed by Wang Hua. If his family members could make them survive, they should try to be the main ones. Otherwise, more soldiers would be killed. However, in this battle, the blood camp suffered less than 1,000 people.

After all, everyone came with anger.

There were nearly a thousand soldiers, but I don’t know where they had fled. Seeing that they had fled far away, Zhang Shougui did not chase them, and he had to rush to Yanzhou. Otherwise, Feng Changqing might be in danger.

After cleaning the battlefield, a thousand soldiers sent to take the spoils and prisoners to Lingzhou, and he led his army to Yanzhou.

Zhu Tong came out in person. In this battle of Hetao, not only defeated an important enemy force, but also freed up troops to consolidate the defense strength of several states, and even possible to launch a local counterattack.

With confidence, he sent someone to write a letter to Mochuo, which said that after Wang Hua arrived in the Eight Prefectures, he only asked Princess Jincheng to seek justice, and the enemy was only Tubo, and he did not think about being an enemy with the Khan. Today you will be invading yourself, okay, let's commit it for you! In the future, you will definitely return to you Turkic people ten times a hundred times. If the Khan let go, just pretend that the matter has not happened. Where can I go, the Khan should do it himself!
Chapter completed!
