The sudden new situation made the generals in the tent a little confused, and they were all thinking silently."
What do you say, what is Jieli doing now" Zhao Yunze suddenly asked.Wei Chigong said angrily: "What else can you do, lie down in Gaoling."
If Jingyang City can't be defeated, he can't approach Chang'an. ”"Gaoling is in the northeast of Jingyang, is there no way to enter Chang'an from Gaoling?"
Zhao Yunze asked puzzled.He had not been to Gaoling at this time, so he was not clear about the road conditions there.The reason why he knew that the current Gaoling City was in the northeast of Jingyang was that he also saw it from the marching map.The map was so rough that you couldn't see the road conditions at all.Yan Liben explained Zhao Yunze's doubts: "Gaoling naturally has a road to Chang'an, but it is a narrow mountain road, and there is no official road at all.Jieli brought 200,000 soldiers and horses, if he directly attacked Chang'an from Gaoling, his marching army would be drawn into a long line, plus the Turks were all cavalry, and the mountain road was slower than the infantry, our army only had to send infantry, all the way along the mountain or set up an ambush or direct attack, his 200,000 soldiers and horses, the head and tail were difficult to care, and could only be wiped out one by one. ”Hearing Yan Liben's words, Zhao Yunze strengthened the guess in his heart, and his face immediately became serious: "That's right, the Turks attacked Jingyang before, and it was also to open the passage to attack Chang'an."
However, when the commander Chi led the army to Jingyang, the Turkic vanguard officer Ashdewumo suffered another defeat, and Jieli may have changed his mind and wanted to attack Chang'an directly from Gaoling.Only in this way can we explain why the stubborn thinking force blocked the road of our army to the south. ”Zhao Yunze's words made the faces of everyone in the city tower suddenly change greatly.Yan Liben was the first to echo Zhao Yunze's words and said: "Perhaps, the Turks attacked Jingyang, which was originally two plans.If the city can be broken as soon as possible, Jieli will march directly from Jingyang; If the city cannot be broken as soon as possible, then part of the forces will be allocated to hold back our army, so as to ensure the safe march of Jieli's brigade from Gaoling.This was a surprise plan, everyone thought that Jieli would march from Jingyang, but he didn't go to Jingyang.The regular troops in Chang'an City have all been brought out by us, and no one can stop Jieli's attack. ”Zhao Yunze's inference is based on his foresight of the "Weishui Alliance" event.And Yan Liben, because he is a person of this era, he has a better understanding of the current situation, and with Zhao Yunze's inference, he has made more reasonable inferences.The two sang and harmonized, and completely guessed the truth of the matter.Wei Chigong smashed his fist on the table in annoyance, and scolded: "Jieli thief is so daring" At this moment, a personal guard entered the tent and knelt on the ground to report: "Report to the chief manager, someone is coming from Gaoling." ”"Didn't Gaoling be captured by the Turks a few days ago, how could anyone come here to check the identity of the person who came here," Wei Chigong doubted.The guard said: "It has been inspected, and the person who came is the order of Gaoling County, and he only brought two entourages, and all three of them were covered with scars. ”"Gaoling County Ling Fang Zhi, he's not dead yet, call in," Wei Chigong said.The guards went out of the tent, and the next moment, a civilian official in a green robe limped into the Chinese military tent with the support of two entourages.The civil servant, who was about thirty years old, was now gray-headed, his clothes were crooked, and one arm was still hanging on his chest with a splint; The two attendants also wore many colors on their bodies.The three of them looked very embarrassed."
Gaoling County Commander Fang Zhi, meet the general manager of Wei Chi."
The civil servant knelt down with difficulty and bowed to him."
Fang Zhi, let me ask you, how did you escape with your life, and what happened when you came to Jingyang" Wei Chigong asked with a cold face.Fang Zhi cried before speaking, wiped his tears and said: "When Gaoling City fell, Fang Zhi already had the will to die, but General Luda, the captain of the school, ordered someone to tie Fang Mou to the horse, and sent troops to escort Fang Mou to escape.General Luda was martyred" choked a few times, and Fang Zhi said again: "Fang Mou originally planned to go back to Chang'an to ask for guilt, but the surrounding area of Gaoling was occupied by the Turks, and there was no way back.After hiding in the mountains for several days, this evening, I occasionally saw a Turkic brigade suddenly leaving the city and heading south along the road.Fang Zhi saw that something was wrong, so he took advantage of the gathering and relaxation of the Turks, broke through and came to Jingyang to report to the chief manager. ”When everyone in the tent heard Fang Zhi's words, they immediately understood.Zhao Yunze and Yan Liben's inferences were verified, and the Turks really did something unexpected."
Fang Zhi, your report is very timely.Take credit for you first, and I will exonerate you from His Majesty when I turn back.Let's go down and rest. ”Wei Chigong waved his hand, and Fang Zhi retreated.Sighing, Wei Chigong said, "It seems that Jingyang City will not be attacked again."
But the big camp in the south of the city must be pulled out.Otherwise, we can't go back to Chang'an, so we can only watch the Jieli soldiers come to Chang'an City. ”"Father, that big village is very solid, we only have less than 10,000 troops, and it is difficult to pull it out," Yu Chi Baolin said.Wei Chigong glared at him and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we have to fight, otherwise is there any other way" Yan Liben also nodded and said: "Gaoling County and Wugong County have all fallen into the hands of the Turks, and it is not advisable for us to detour back to Chang'an." ”Wei Chigong spread out the map, beckoned to the generals, and said, "Come and take a look, see how this battle should be fought." ”All the generals gathered in front of the handsome case, and Yu Chi Gong said to Yu Chi Baolin: "Only you have seen that big village, tell everyone about it." ”Yu Chi Baolin looked at the map and explained the situation of the big village.After a general understanding of the situation in the Turkic Village, Yan Liben frowned and said: "There are cliffs on both sides of the Wind Piercing Valley, and there is no road to attack at all, if you want to break the village, you can only attack from the front." ”Yu Chi Gong nodded and agreed: "The Turks are really good at picking places" Zhao Yunze's eyes lit up at this time, and asked: "Are those two cliffs high?"
Yu Chi Baolin said: "We passed by there when we came to Jingyang, didn't you pay attention" Zhao Yunze shook his head and said: "When I came, there were mountain peaks and cliffs on both sides of the road, how do I know where the Wind Piercing Valley is" After speaking, he asked Yu Chi Baolin again: "How high is the cliff?"
"There must be thirty or forty zhang of it." ”Yu Chi Baolin replied.Thirty or forty zhang, that's more than a hundred meters, this height is about the same."
Boss, I have a way to attack from two cliffs."
Zhao Yunze had an idea in his heart and said firmly.Wei Chigong glared at Zhao Yunze: "What are you kidding, you haven't seen those two cliffs, don't talk nonsense, except for birds, no one can go down to the bottom of the valley from there." ”"Then let our soldiers all become big birds," Zhao Yunze said confidently
