The Wuping soldier frowned and rubbed his injured leg with uneasy hands.
"Did you hear that? I, the deputy commander of the Han Dynasty Zhengbei, Xie Dutong, come face to face. If you want to survive, please answer honestly, otherwise you will be killed!" the deputy general shouted from the side.
"The general is just asking. If the villain knows everything, there is nothing he can do about it. If you don't know, there is nothing you can do." The soldier whispered.
Xie Gui nodded and said, "Well, what's your name?"
"The villain Lu Asan."
"Are you all soldiers under Li Yuan?" Xie Gui said coldly.
The soldier hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied, "Yes."
Xie Gui asked again: "Where did you come from? Did you set an ambush beforehand?"
Soldier Lu Asan raised his head and said, "Yes, we have been lying in wait in the valley for two days, just waiting for you to pass by."
Xie Gui frowned and said, "How do you know our whereabouts? Did Li Yuan ask you to ambush here?"
"This little guy doesn't know. How do we, the little soldiers, know about the orders from above? Anyway, we left Yiyang City four or five days ago. After entering the mountains, we went straight to ambush you. As for why we know your whereabouts, you Ask me, who will I ask?”
As expected, Xie Gui frowned and asked, "You mean you are soldiers of Yiyang City? Didn't you just say you were soldiers of Li Yuan?"
The soldier replied: "Of course we are soldiers under the Governor. The soldiers and horses in Chu are all soldiers and horses under the Governor. We are all the Wuping Army of the Governor."
Xie Gui asked doubtfully: "So you didn't go to support Li Yuan, but went straight into the mountains to ambush you as soon as you left the city?"
Lu Asan said: "Yeah, didn't I make it very clear? You know everything, so you don't understand, or something? We will follow Lin Du out of the city, and we will set up an ambush and wait for you!
Support the Governor? That's not necessary. How can you be the opponent of our Grand Governor? No matter how you fight, the result will be defeat..."
"Shut up, what the hell did you say, are you looking for death?" The deputy general kicked Na Lu Asan in the chest. Lu Asan was kicked and fell to the ground, covering his chest and coughing. It was all pain.
Xie Gui glared at the deputy general, stepped forward to help Lu Asan up, and said in a deep voice: "Do you really have such confidence in Li Yuan? Then why does Li Yuan make you respect him so much?"
Lu Asan raised his head and said with a bloody smile: "Our Governor is a general from the sky, how can you be his opponent? Looking at you like this, it seems that you have not suffered enough under the Governor!
Let me tell you one more time, our chief governor knows things well and knows that you are going to be defeated and flee, so he ordered us to set up an ambush here. You are controlled in every way, and every step you take is in the calculation of the Grand Governor, do you understand?
I advise you to surrender to the Grand Governor as soon as possible. If you are against him, you will die sooner or later..."
Xie Gui frowned and shouted: "You are very courageous. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Lu Asan opened his mouth and smiled with his blood-stained teeth: "Afraid of death! Who is not afraid of death? But what's the use of being afraid? Can you spare us? Besides, we are all seriously injured. This wound on my leg The bleeding wouldn't stop, and I knew I was definitely not going to survive.
Commander-in-Chief, if you are sensible, please give us a good time and leave yourself a way out. When you are beheaded by the Chief Governor of my family in the future, if we meet in the underworld, my brothers and I will not cause any trouble for you..."
Xie Gui's face turned pale and his teeth clenched. He stood up slowly and walked aside.
The deputy general whispered: "Du Tong, what should we do with these people?"
"Throw them all over the cliff!" Xie Gui said coldly.
Dozens of Wuping wounded soldiers were dragged to the cliff and pushed off the cliff one by one. Amidst the screams, Xie Gui stood aside with his brow furrowed, but his mind was not on the tragedy in front of him, but secretly frightened.
My previous worries were verified. When I was attacked last night, I had been wondering why the incident happened so coincidentally. Sure enough, the Tang army from Yiyang City had already set up an ambush here. Can Li Yuan really predict the future?
This man was also extremely confident in his military use. He seemed to have expected that his troops would be defeated and flee, and they would pass through that valley, so he had arranged this chess move in advance.
From this point of view, this person is really scary. He takes one step and thinks three steps. He is really being played around by him, and he is in his calculations from beginning to end. After the sneak attack last night, he lost more than 3,000 people, and even his own clan brothers were killed, which really made matters worse.
"Set off immediately, non-stop all the way, and rush back to Chenzhou as soon as possible!"
Xie Gui ordered loudly that he could not stay here for one more moment. Every time he stayed here, he would feel shuddering. He didn't know what powerful means Li Yuan had waiting for him. It was better to stay as far away from Li Yuan as possible as soon as possible.
…
At dusk, the Wuping Army camp welcomed the ambush soldiers and horses returning in triumph. As Nalu Asan explained, these soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses of Wu Ping's personal army who have been guarding Yiyang City for many days. The leaders were naturally the chief and deputy commanders of the army, Li Yuan's two favorite generals - Lin Sichang and Wumu Teqin.
This time, the two men mounted their horses to lead troops to harass and then dismounted to garrison the city. They performed extremely well in the battle against the Han army. Although half of the 10,000 soldiers sacrificed themselves, which can be said to have paid a huge price, they succeeded in defeating the Han army, which was several times their own. The main force of the army was dragged behind Yiyang City, unable to advance even an inch. Miraculously, the commander-in-chief Li Yuan returned from Xizhou to come for reinforcements.
In fact, when they learned that Li Yuan's army was heading south, the two of them planned to send people out of the city to contact their own governor, but they had no choice but to give up because the Han army was lying in the middle. It was not until the Han army was defeated a few days ago that the two finally waited for Li Yuan. Zhu Kuang personally led Qingqi to convey the order, asking him and the two of them to lead the army to Wuping Camp.
Just as they were about to set off, another group of light cavalry arrived. This time, the order was for Lin Sichang and Wu Mu Teqin to lead the army into the mountains and go directly to the valley to plan an ambush...
In less than a moment, Li Yuan urgently changed the military order, which made the two men and Zhu Kuang Congjin confused. However, since they followed Li Yuan, they had become accustomed to obeying orders without asking the reason, so they led the army directly. The valley awaits.
As a result, a really big fish was caught and the Han army was successfully hit hard.
Li Yuan and his generals greeted the two triumphant generals outside the camp with smiles on their faces. General Lin Wu saw Li Yuan and hurriedly dismounted his horse and leaned forward to salute.
Li Yuan smiled and helped the two of them up and said: "Thank you for your hard work, generals! These days, I have been informed of your battle reports, and you really did not disappoint me! When I return to Langzhou, I will give you many rewards." you!"
Lin Sichang choked up excitedly for several times, and then trembled with shame: "I would like to thank the Commander-in-Chief! However, I have failed the Commander-in-Chief. I lost more than half of my own troops in this battle, which is really heartbreaking..."
Eighty percent of the soldiers in the army were Uighur tribesmen who came from Tianyin Mountain, so the leader Umut Qinshi was the most distressed. At this time, he lowered his head and cried and blamed himself, and then solemnly clenched his fists to his chest, as if to solemnly commemorate the battle. Dead tribal brothers.
I sighed secretly in my heart: "Rest in peace, gentlemen! You are all eagles on the grassland! Your soul can return to your hometown, and the fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots..."
