The Turk Jieli Khan was not an incompetent person. After mobilizing troops and horses to meet Xu Yunyan, his vanguard unit that suffered heavy casualties, several small tribes also directly attacked the east and west under Jieli's arrangement and began to go A sneak attack on Tangjuncheng County on the border.
One of the cavalry's targets was Yanmen County, where Xu Guichang was located.
Xu Yunyan, who got the news, of course meant the news released by Li Jing.
Xu Yunyan stared at a sketch he had drawn in front of him, lost in thought.
The Turkic cavalry came from afar and were quite large in number. They encountered a night sneak attack and would never be careless here.
It was necessary for them to set up camp in front of the military formation, and Xu Yunyan immediately called other brigade commanders from the Tang army to assign tasks to them.
Seeing Xu Yunyan here constantly arranging orders to expand the size of the military camp, everyone was puzzled and couldn't help but step forward to persuade Xu Yunyan.
"Lord Captain, our army is elite, but there are too many Turks coming. Let's retreat to the Great Wall and die on the Great Wall. This way we still have the strength to fight. What if we camp behind the city and are surrounded by Turks? We want to retreat I can’t even retreat.”
Seeing these people constantly trying to persuade him, Xu Yunyan smiled.
"Do you know the empty city strategy?"
"Empty city plan?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes! We have built a large camp in this city, and it's hard to see how many of us there are from the outside. If the Turks come, seeing that there are 35,000 Tang troops in our camp, they still dare to do it easily Launch an attack on us?
If we don't attack directly, we will definitely call for a battle. We can use this period of time to pretend to drag them out here and buy time for our army to set off.
You must have known General Li's letter. It took two days for the Tang army to reach the border, and it only took one day for the Turks to come here. If we let these 30,000 Turkic cavalry cross the Great Wall in one day, what kind of world would be behind us? Hell, I don’t need to say it, you should know it, right? "
Xu Yunyan kept talking here, and these people seemed to react, "I will respect the military orders of the Captain!"
Write a book
Just when these soldiers of the Tang Army were going out to collect trees to expand their tents, Xu Yunyan called out to Uncle Zhou.
"Colonel Zhou has a task here that you need to perform."
Zhou Shu hurriedly stepped forward, "The captain has an order, even if it's just what he said, why do you need to do that?"
To be polite? "
Seeing Uncle Zhou like this, Xu Yunyan said, "I want you to hide in this place with five hundred soldiers."
Xu Yunyan said and clicked on the map, which was the ravine where Xu Yunyan first hid.
"You hide here with five hundred people. If the Turkic cavalry really comes to attack the camp, you will rush out from here with the sound of golden drums and make it look like there is an ambush.
Seeing you waiting, I think the Turks will definitely be able to retreat. As soon as the Turks retreat, you can return to the south of the Great Wall and board the Great Wall to garrison. "
When Uncle Zhou heard Xu Yunyan's arrangement, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely not let you down."
Seeing Uncle Zhou following his orders, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but look at the generals going away, sighed and waved his hand, asking Zhai Peng next to him to come closer.
Whisper something in Zhai Peng's ear.
"You take our elite guards and arrange it in the camp like this."
Xu Yunyan talked about a series of traps that were like conspiracy tracks. Listening to the traps arranged by Xu Yunyan and the configuration of the traps, Zhai Peng felt cold sweat break out and trembled uncontrollably.
"Captain, do we really need to make such a trap? If the Turks don't come in and our own people trigger this trap, we will suffer heavy losses."
Xu Yunyan looked at Zhai Peng with dead eyes. Zhai Peng knew that he had said too much, so he was there to accompany him in an instant.
"I understand, Commander-in-Chief, I will do whatever you arrange."
"This is right!"
Xu Yunyan laughed.
After a day of preparation and finally transforming the camp into a steel behemoth armed to the teeth, the Turkic cavalry finally appeared on the horizon again in the early morning of the next day.
Jieli Khan, who was far away in the military formation, couldn't help being surprised when he looked at the Tang Army's military camp in the distance.
"What's going on? Isn't the news sent back that there is only a little Tang Army here? Why are there such continuous Tang Army camps? Looking at the size, the Tang Army must have at least 50,000 people."
At this moment, Jieli Khan did not dare to charge forward anymore. He hurriedly arrived here without taking any rest last night. It was Tang Jun who was waiting for work here, which made Jieli even more angry and wished he could kill those soldiers. The scouts who delivered the news were dragged out and killed over and over again.
But Jieli gritted his teeth here. The Turkic general behind him, who was considered a think tank, said to him, "Big
Khan, since the Tang army has camped here again, we might as well camp there and have a decisive battle with the Tang army tomorrow after recuperating for a day. Presumably, why do we, the great Turkic warriors, fear such a Tang army? "
But as soon as the think tank proposed setting up camp, someone immediately refuted the idea that setting up camp was inappropriate.
"How can we camp here? The last time we camped here, we were defeated by the Tang Army. If we camp here again, wouldn't we be putting our heads under the sword of the Tang Army?"
What this general said made Jie Li quite unhappy.
"The warriors of the Great Turks are never afraid of anyone's challenge. How dare you sway the morale of the army here? If you dare to sway the morale of the army again, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag!"
At this moment, the general was completely helpless, "I... I was just discussing the matter, how could it be that I have shaken the morale of the army?"
When the general was a little unconvinced, Jie Li looked at him and snorted coldly, "Since you said you are afraid that the Tang army's sword will be placed on our necks again, then you have to bring your troops to me first." Test and test the reality of this Tang camp."
The Turkic general who was arranged by Jieli looked so ugly! Quickly admit your mistake.
"The Great Khan is the last general who is wrong. The last general must obey the Great Khan's instructions. However, the Turks have been running all night and are exhausted. They are not suitable for such a laborious expedition. Please ask the Great Khan to let them rest for the night. I will take care of them tomorrow morning." People come forward, do you think this is good?"
Before Jieli could say anything, Gudri, a Turkic general with a face somewhat similar to that of a Tang Dynasty man, had just finished speaking when Meng Gema, who was not dealing with him, started talking in a strange manner.
"Do you want to repair? What if the Tang Army invades while you are resting? Or General Gudri should be on guard in front with your troops. If you don't dare to guard, is there something wrong in your heart?"
The anger in Gudry's heart was: "Montgomer, what do you mean? My loyalty to the Great Khan can be seen from the sun and the moon! How could I do such a petty act?"
"Huh, everyone can say it, but I don't know how to do it."
Gudry saw that Montgomery kept slandering him here, and his face turned red with anger. He said to Jieli, "Great Khan, since General Montgomery said this, then the general will lead his troops." How about being a scout for the whole army and guarding the Tang army from the front?"
What Gudri didn't expect was that Jieli waved his hand without even thinking and allowed Gudri to take his soldiers out to guard, which made Gudri feel very uncomfortable.
