Chapter 14: Confusion (I)


Zhao Yunze's lunch was eaten in the city tower of the north gate of Jingyang.With flatbread in one hand and pickles in the other, Zhao Yunze missed the taste of compressed biscuits.Although, it was a dark dish that he had cursed countless times with his comrades-in-arms before, but it was much better than lunch at the moment.If it's a white-flour flatbread, it's okay, but look at this thing in your hand, it's actually mixed with one-third of the bran; Look at this pickle again, it is dry and dry, biting it in the mouth is like chewing a rubber band, but it is exercising the teeth.Yan Liben, the logistics manager, is too irresponsible, this is a war, okay, he actually gave us men to eat this, but when I saw Wei Chi Gong and Wei Chi Baolin, the father and son, they ate the same food as themselves, and looking at the expressions of others, it seemed that they were enjoying the food, and the resentment in Zhao Yunze's heart also faded."

Rite Niang's Turkic dog cubs, the food is really good, they actually eat barbecue, guard a dead corpse, and lose their food."

Everyone can hear that there is a sour taste in Yu Chi Baolin's words.The Turks on the opposite side were also having dinner, but they could enjoy it better than the Tang army, so they set up firewood in the same place at the formation and held a battlefield barbecue party.The aroma of roast mutton could be smelled nearly a mile away."

Chief, if we send a team of cavalry here and kill out of the city gate by surprise, do you think we will have a great success" Zhao Yunze glanced at the lazy Turks in the distance, and proposed to Wei Chigong.Wei Chigong glared at Zhao Yunze, and said angrily: "Open your eyes and take a closer look, you can see that there are no two wings of the Turks, there is a cavalry team on guard." ”Only then did Zhao Yunze notice that although most of the Turks were sitting on the ground eating in 351 piles at the moment, on the two wings, there was a team of about 2,000 cavalry on each side that did not disband, but did not even get off the horse, and still maintained a battle formation."

It's good to see that the distance between those vigilant cavalry and the city wall is uninhabited, and if we go out of the city to raid, that distance is just enough for the Turkic cavalry to speed up their horses to the extreme.And our army is limited by the city gate, and the cavalry formation out of the city will be stretched, which is equivalent to dispersing the combat power.The Turks only need one charge to annihilate all our men and horses out of the city. ”After Wei Chigong finished explaining, he sighed again and said: "Zhao boy, not only do you have to learn to ride a horse, but you should also learn the ability to march and arrange formations and judge the situation." ”Dead black pot face, if you don't mention riding a horse, you will die, right, Zhao Yunze was speechless again."

Hurry up and eat and drink enough, so that you have the strength to deal with the battle in the afternoon."

After Wei Chigong finished speaking, he chewed on the flatbread and pickles again.However, the development of things was beyond Wei Chigong's expectations.In the afternoon, the Turks did not attack the city again.Not only did they not attack the city, but they also took the initiative to retreat a few hundred meters, as if there was something under Jingyang City that they were particularly afraid of, and leaving these few hundred meters more would increase their sense of security."

What the hell are the Turks doing" waited for half an afternoon, and did not wait for the Turks to attack the city again, and Wei Chigong was a little confused.He immediately called Yan Liben, Wei Chi Baolin, and several captains who were responsible for defending the north gate to the city gate tower."

Boss, I'm wondering too.Even if you don't attack the city, you can just go back to the camp.It is incomprehensible that the Turks walked and did not walk, fought and did not fight, and retreated hundreds of meters. ”Yan Liben also frowned, "Retreating for such a distance doesn't seem to have any effect" "Maybe the Turks roasted mutton at noon and ate it, and they slipped their legs to digest the food." ”Yu Chi Baolin didn't know which tendon was wrong at this time, and he still had the leisure to joke.Maybe he swallowed the opposite direction when he ate the flatbread at noon and plugged his brain."

You shut up" Yu Chi Gong glared at Yu Chi Baolin viciously.Yu Chi Baolin stuck out his tongue and closed his mouth very obediently."

Zhao boy, what do you think" Wei Chigong suddenly looked at Zhao Yunze."

That big manager, this ability to march and arrange formations and judge the situation, the kid still has to study hard, and he doesn't dare to have an opinion."

Zhao Yunze returned what Wei Chigong said to him at noon.Wei Chigong choked on Zhao Yunze's words, and then chuckled with a "sneer": "Do you not want to express your opinion, or do you have no opinion at all?"

”Zhao Yunze hesitated and said."

When is it, you kid is still hiding something to say quickly, and if you have a fart, no one will laugh at you" Yu Chigong said angrily."

That's what I think, did I receive an order from Jieli to suspend the siege.Perhaps, there is another task assigned to him. ”The reason why Zhao Yunze judged this way was because he remembered a record in the history books.Before the "Weishui Alliance", Jieli had sent Zhi Sili into Chang'an City to meet Li Shimin in order to test the details of the Tang Dynasty.The time of the "Weishui Alliance" was August 28, and today is already August 26, if there is no bifurcation in this period of history that I have experienced, it will be the day after tomorrow, and I should enter Chang'an if I lose my thinking power.Maybe he has now received Jieli's order, and is hesitating whether to continue the siege or directly withdraw his troops to carry out Jieli's order to let him enter Chang'an.The reason why Zhao Yunze knows this history in such detail is because when they were in military school, the instructor had asked them to deduce the situation of the enemy and the enemy during the "Weishui Alliance".The instructor was a history buff, especially fond of studying the history of the early Tang Dynasty.Because the history books did not record the war situation of the enemy before the "Weishui Alliance" occurred, the instructor asked them to conduct a battlefield simulation war game deduction together, firstly to develop the students' war thinking, and secondly, to try to deduce those stories that were not recorded in the history books.And the final conclusion of this deduction is that history cannot be restored, and who knows what the hell the historian at that time omitted.After Zhao Yunze's words were finished, Wei Chigong and Yan Liben glanced at each other, and Yan Liben said: "This inference of Captain Zhao is not impossible. ”Wei Chigong said: "If this is the case, it is a good thing, at least it can delay the speed of the Turkic advance."

If you're afraid, the Turks don't have a conspiracy.This person who is stubborn and loses his thinking power is very cunning" Wei Chi Baolin couldn't keep his mouth shut at this time, he spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter what conspiracy he has, anyway, we'll be like this, we'll go whatever he comes." ”Yu Chi Gong slapped Yu Chi Baolin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid said something this time. ”"Pauling is right, since everyone is confused, then don't guess, do your duty, and wait and see what happens."

Wei Chigong waved his hand, and the "gods" returned to their places.Until it was dark, the Turks did not attack the city again.Night is not conducive to the siege of the city, Wei Chi Gong breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to return to the military camp in the city, Zhao Yunze suddenly shouted: "Look, the chief governor, the Turks seem to be withdrawing":
