Chapter 027 Retreat is Advance Prince Ali led his army to gallop wildly.
Unscrupulous, this is not because of how arrogant he is, but at that time, limited by objective factors such as the quality of soldiers and the efficiency of the command system, anyone who pursued the enemy under such circumstances was sure to win.
Regardless of whether the enemy is defeated or retreats on his own initiative, as long as the strong enemy still has the strength to counterattack, and in this case, the flag is unfurled and the whole army retreats, and even the best generals cannot perfectly mobilize the troops, so that they can still maintain a strong fighting spirit and counterattack in an orderly manner during the retreat.
If it is a night retreat, then there are many factors to consider, the command system will almost be paralyzed, if the troops are pursued in the retreat, in this case with a strong enemy, it is doomed to failure, plus the commander is assassinated and the group is leaderless, then even if the fleeing side has a million troops, it is doomed to defeat in front of the pursuers with a huge difference in strength.
So Prince Ali had no scruples, and when he caught up with Yang Hao's army that was retreating at night, he trembled with excitement.
He clenched the scimitar tightly in his hand and shouted, "Rush over and kill them all" The Xiazhou army, which was hurrying to the east, had hurriedly stopped when they heard the sound of their horses' hooves, and laid down a simple defensive formation as fast as possible, at this time, the torches like dragons had appeared on the sand dunes, and the weak defensive formation was obviously unable to stop the Ganzhou army.
The soldiers of the Xiazhou Army naturally knew the real purpose of this sudden withdrawal tonight, so the morale of the army was not affected at all, but despite this, during the rapid march, they suddenly stopped and changed the defensive formation, and the various departments could not coordinate the battle, tacitly cooperated, and Prince Ali's men and horses successfully broke through the enemy formation and stabbed forward like a sharp knife.
At this time, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the desert on both sides, quietly covering them.
The soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared on both sides neither shouted nor shouted, let alone raised torches, and the sound of their horses' hooves was also muffled by the shouting and neighing of horses at the scene.
Finally someone spotted the soldiers and horses that suddenly came out on both sides, because with the army came the sand and dust that rose from the night, and the sand and dust rose high.
The bright stars in the sky were obscured, and for a while it was like a desert monster suddenly swallowing the starlight and moonlight, but fortunately, there were torches held high by the Hui pursuers and the torches hurriedly lit by the Xia Zhou soldiers who were chased in the place where the two sides were fighting.
Thus, the torch became the only light in the desert, and the soldiers on both sides were like moths to the flames, one after the other, endlessly The Hui soldiers never expected that they, who were originally playing the role of hunters, would suddenly become the targets of hunting, and they hurried to meet the battle in a panic, but they had been cut into several sections by the men and horses who had been killed on both sides.
The Xiazhou soldiers who touched it had neither flags nor horns, neither shouted loudly to kill, nor did they need to command and dispatch, although surprise attacks often played a huge role in wars, but the moment of hand-to-hand contact, it was the narrow road where the brave won, you only need speed and courage, you only need to keep rushing forward, and you only need you to cut people better than the other party.
The Xiazhou soldiers who pounced on both sides were holding the most suitable knives for slashing people, and the steel knives with the sound of the whistling wind reflected arcs in the firelight, and with the flash and disappearance of the electric light.
There would be a dull sound of "poof" entering the flesh, the sound of sonorous blades colliding, the screams of neighing, and the long neighing of horses The knife wielder slashed fiercely, and the one was invincible for a fierce and vicious bloody massacre, and a thunderous surprise attack Prince Ali, who was rushing to the front, suddenly noticed that the screaming sound behind him was even more tragic than his place, and Prince Ali hurriedly looked back and immediately realized the problem: it was a trap As soon as he figured this out, Prince Ali's heart immediately sank to the bottom, and he immediately thought of breaking through, but he rushed too deep into the Xia army's formation, and the men and horses behind him had been cut off, and the enemy troops in front were counterattacking back, and on the left and right flanks, there were not many enemy troops in the black pressure at all.
When the enemy army surged and drowned him in the sea like a wave, Prince Ali suddenly remembered an old saying of the Han Chinese: Give somebody a dose of his own medicine "Casualties of our troops" "Tell me the number of enemy casualties" Mu Kui hurried to Tang Yanyan, and was interrupted just as he spoke.
Mu Kui paused and said: "The detailed number is still being counted, according to the current rough estimate, the enemy army has killed more than 9,000 people and wounded and captured more than 15,000 people.
"The close ratio of dead to prisoner shows how brutally this ambush was fought.
Tang Yanyan frowned: "Ganzhou City can almost be said to be a soldier of the whole people, there are at least 70,000 people who are riding and shooting, if it is just to defend the city, it is enough to control the strings, so the number of troops is even higher than this number, that is to say, this ambush battle to lure the snake out of the hole."
We have only destroyed a third of the enemy" Mu Kui said: "Madam, it's not that the soldiers are afraid of the enemy, a night battle, can annihilate thirty percent of the enemy army, this record is very rare."
In night battles, although we have the upper hand, it is also easy for the enemy to scatter and escape, so it is easy to defeat them, but it is not easy to annihilate them all. ” Tang Yanyan sighed and said worriedly: "General Mu, I'm not blaming the soldiers for not using their lives, it's just that this result is not ideal, if we return to the division immediately and trap Ganzhou City again, with the existing troops in the city, we still can't defeat it as soon as possible, but time waits for no one." ” Mu Kui said: "If you can't succeed in one battle, there is no way, in the past, Li Guangrui supported his troops to the west several times, and the results were less than half of ours, and this battle was enough to deter the Western Regions."
We can't wait any longer, the military order for the captain to return to the division has been issued, and we have to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible. ” Princess Aguli, who had been standing quietly in the corner, was almost forgotten by everyone because of this big battle, and when she heard Mu Kui's words, her delicate body couldn't help but be shocked: "The captain ordered to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible, their grain and grass are really not good, I didn't guess wrong, if they continue to hold on, they must withdraw first, we don't have to break through in all directions, we don't have to take the initiative to attack at all."
Aguli shouted in her heart, eager to rush to Yeluosu immediately.
Tell him to open his dog's eyes to see if it is his precious son who is wise or who is smart.
Tang Yanyan sighed and said worriedly: "Yes, the defenders of Ganzhou City have been wiped out by one-third, as long as we are given a little more time and trapped for a while, Ganzhou will definitely be in hand."
It's a pity that in order to annex us, the imperial court actually colluded with Chizhong to oppose Fuzhou, and blamed us, so that we are speechless, and now the imperial army has come to the city, and the Taiwei is withdrawing from Guazhou, and I don't know when it will arrive, so we have to go back first.
If you go back late, the foundation will be lost, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ” "What Song State attacked the two states of Linfu, and blamed Yang Hao and forced Xiazhou" Aguli's heart suddenly jumped up, only to hear Tang Yanyan say categorically: "We can't wait any longer, let's rush to Liangzhou immediately, take a short rest, and immediately rush to Xiazhou."
But will Ganzhou Hui continue to chase after him?"
Mu Kui said: "Madame, don't worry, we retreat not far away, he dares to go out of the city to pursue, now they are ambushed, at this moment Ganzhou City is bound to be closed in four cities, waiting for the day, for fear that we will fight back, where do we dare to send troops."
We will march at once, and by the time dawn comes, the distance between us and them will have been widened, and the night will not dare to go out of the elite to the fullest.
Taiwei may return to the division at any time, if he dares to go far out of Ganzhou, he is not afraid that Taiwei will copy his lair?"
Tang Yanyan praised: "What General Mu said makes a lot of sense, good.
Immediately purge the army, and after half an hour, gallop to Liangzhou. ” "Obedience" At this time, Long Ling'er came running with a sword and said hurriedly: "Madam, there is a Hui who was first mixed in the pile of dead bodies, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people to take the horse away, and there were Hui prisoners who identified that person was the Hui prince Ali. ” Tang Yanyan was moved: "It's really enough to make people chase after it" "Someone has been sent to chase it, but the war has just ended, and corpses are being collected everywhere, wounded soldiers are treated, and prisoners are detained.
Tang Yanyan said: "It turns out that the one who led the troops to pursue was the prince of Hui, hateful, he must be caught after him."
Mu Kui reminded: "Madam, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, we can't delay here for a long time."
Tang Yanyan gritted his teeth and said, "The army will wait for half an hour, and if there is no result, it will go on the road again."
Said that he hurriedly walked forward, and said as he walked: "All the captives are taken away, maybe there are some important people in Ganzhou Huihui among them." ” Standing on the side, Aguli looked around vigilantly, paced slowly, a team of soldiers with captives hurriedly walked by, Aguli gave way, this group of soldiers blocked the view of others for a moment, Aguli hurriedly picked up a discarded armor and helmet from the ground and put it on, hurried a few steps, and disappeared into the scattered soldiers and horses in the shadow and longing formation.
Tang Yanyan and Long Ling'er stood on a sand dune, and Long Ming'er hurried over from behind, clasped her fists and said, "Madam, she really escaped." ” Tang Yanyan nodded, looked back at Long Ling'er and said, "Why didn't you speak according to the words we agreed to lead me away, so as to create an opportunity for her to react quickly, otherwise I would really believe you." ” Long Ling'er smiled bitterly: "Madam, Ling'er didn't lie, there was really someone pretending to be a dead corpse, snatching the horse away, and after being identified by the captive, that person was Prince Ali." ” Tang Yanyan was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "It turned out to be true, and he really sent someone to chase him."
"Yes."
Tang Yanyan looked at it from a distance and near, it was scattered everywhere, they were all soldiers walking around to clean the battlefield, the torches were like a sea of stars, in this case, suddenly a person rode away, and the people around him were afraid that they would not ask, and they wanted to arrest him back to talk about it.
Tang Yanyan shook his head and muttered, "If you want to catch him back, it's difficult, it's a pity" Long Ling'er comforted: "If he can't be caught, then his fate is great, anyway, it won't hinder the overall situation, why should Mrs. take it to heart." ” Tang Yanyan glanced at her, smiled and praised: "Your plan is very good, if it really works, you will make a great contribution in front of the captain." ” It turned out that after the grain stock in Ganzhou was exhausted, Yeluosu tried to break through several times, and the Hui soldiers who fell in the hands of Tang Yanyan were tortured, but they recruited the intention of Yeluosu to break through, Tang Yanyan was very worried when he heard it, if Yeluosu really escaped, the vast desert and the long grassland, it would be difficult to annihilate him at that time.
Fight the snake and be bitten instead of dying, let the tiger return to the mountain to harm their own family, at that time the people of Ganzhou Hui will not surrender to Yang Hao, and the night Luofu is more likely to collude with Longyou Tubo and make a comeback at any time.
In view of this, after Yang Hao got the news from Tang Yanyan, he replied that she wanted her to do everything to fhack Ye Luosu and wait for him to return to the division, otherwise, once Ye Luosu broke through and escaped, it would not be of much use to get this empty city, what really matters is people, it is 300,000 Ganzhou Hui Hui, if they can't be surrendered, the Hexi Corridor will increase by 300,000 haunted guerrillas, and Yang Hao will really be mired in the war quagmire of the Hexi Corridor at that time.
However, with the strength in Tang Yanyan's hands, it was not easy to divide the troops to besiege a huge city, and it was not easy to stop Ye Luosu from abandoning the city and escaping, Tang Yanyan convened the generals several times to discuss the matter, but he did not come up with a way to ensure that Ye Luosu would not escape, and at the same time, the frequency of Ye Luofu's tentative breakthrough and battle was getting higher and higher, and the situation was very urgent.
At this time, Long Ling'er, who was "assigned" to the camp in Ganzhou by Yang Hao, offered a plan for Tang Yanyan, she analyzed: If he is forced to rush Ye Luofu, it really prompts him to abandon the city and flee regardless of sacrifice, and the current troops deployed in the periphery of Ganzhou will not be able to trap him, and Ye Luosu is now in a hurry, and Taiwei does not know when he will be able to solve the two states of Shagua, in this case, it is better to take the initiative to give up Ganzhou, withdraw to Liangzhou, and release the news of the imperial court attack on the two states of Linfu to the Hui people in Ganzhou, and make the false impression of being forced to return to help, Anyway, this news will definitely reach their ears in a few days, and it can be used to make use of it.

As soon as the foreign enemy retreated, even if there was no rice in Ganzhou, Ye Luosu would not abandon the city and flee the famine, he would only try his best to collect grain, rice and meat from the nomadic tribes outside to solve the grain shortage in Ganzhou.
After Tang Yanyan retreated to Liangzhou, he could temporarily rest there and make a gesture of preparing to rush to the aid of Linfu, but he didn't really go on the road, and when Yang Hao solved the two states of Shagua and returned to the division victoriously, he would inform Yanyan that the northern and southern armies were trapped in Ganzhou again with lightning speed. besieged like this without attacking, took the initiative to withdraw his troops, and besieged again, even if his nerves were made of steel wire, he would have to collapse under such ups and downs, joys and sorrows.
Tang Yanyan wrote down Long Ling'er's reasons for such a design in detail and reported it to Yang Hao, and Yang Hao gathered all the generals, especially paying attention to listening to the opinions of the generals who had recently surrendered and were familiar with the situation in Ganzhou, and agreed to this plan.
Tang Yanyan and Mu Kui and others were discussing how to take the initiative to withdraw from the army, and skillfully passed the reason for the withdrawal to the ears of Ye Luosu, and Ye Luosu put forward a plan to offer beauty and beg to surrender, Tang Yanyan was still suspicious at first, and when Princess Aguli started the assassination and understood Ye Luosu's plan, Tang Yanyan knew that as soon as the news of the assassination failure was transmitted back, Ye Luosu would inevitably break through immediately.
So she planned and came to lure the snake out of the hole, and if she could eliminate the main force of Yeluofu in one fell swoop, she would not have to go back and forth with a large army.
However, the result of the battle was not very ideal, and he still had to withdraw to Liangzhou according to the original plan, at this time, how to reveal the reason for the "real" withdrawal of the army after the fake withdrawal to Ye Luosu, and not let him become suspicious, but it became a difficult problem, such a major news, you can't just flee back to a soldier can happen to be able to hear it The Long family was forced to surrender under the pressure of the army, Long Ling'er experienced such a change in mood, so whether Princess Aguli, who was also "forced to surrender", was sincere surrender or false and wronged, far clearer than others, she didn't believe that this arrogant and untamed horse would surrender so happily, so she offered another plan: everyone played a play in front of Princess Aguli together, creating a chance for her to escape, and the information sent back by Princess Hui in person will definitely be able to appease Ye Luosu and let him stay in Ganzhou City steadily.
Long Ling'er said humbly: "Suzhou and Ganzhou are the closest, there is such a strong enemy by their side, why don't you be careful, so my Long family is studying Ganzhou every day, and they are thinking about the person who is Yeluosu, and can come up with such a method, because Ling'er understands Ganzhou and understands Yeluosu's temperament, but it is nothing, but Mrs., you, can adapt to the situation, and use the assassination plan to make Yeluosu suffer such a big loss, Ling'er is really sincerely admired." ” Tang Yanyan grinned and said, "What a sweet mouth, your Long family is full of wisdom even a woman, and she can be regarded as a talent pool." ” Long Ling'er was even more humble: "If you have talents, you must also have strength, so that you can have the opportunity to be rewarded for your ambitions, the Long family has sincerely returned to obedience, and I will ask my wife to support me in the future." ” Tang Yanyan smiled and said: "What are you saying, why don't you wait until the celebration time to say it to the Taiwei in person, after this incident, the Taiwei will definitely look at you with a smile." ” Long Ling'er said suddenly: "Madam, if it weren't for the last resort, whose daughter would be willing to be sent back and forth as a gift, it was the father who was confused for a while, so he came up with such a clumsy way to laugh at the Fang family, in fact, Taiwei Yang is wise and martial, ambitious, and flattering with women, but he will be looked down upon by Taiwei, the Long family follows the rules and does things seriously, and will always be favored by Taiwei." ” Tang Yanyan's eyes were full of anticipation, and he said with a smile: "Then what if my family official is really a womanizer?"
Long Ling'er's heart jumped, and after a little hesitation, she decided that it would be better to answer honestly in front of her, and said: "In that case, Ling'er and the sisters, for the sake of the Long family, will serve in front of the Taiwei and Mrs., and they are also willing." ” Tang Yanyan pretended to be surprised and said: "Such a person, you are willing to commit to him" Long Ling'er pretended to be pitiful, and said faintly: "Ling'er is the daughter of a minister, how can she be qualified to say whether she is willing or unwilling, but for the future of her father and brother, a door is in danger, the Lord is lustful, and he is dedicated to it; The Lord values talent, and it is just a matter of showing talent. ” Tang Yanyan said with a smile: "So, you are doing what you like" Long Ling'er said: "Yes, there are a few people in the world who don't like others to do what they like, the rise and fall of the Long family are all in the mind of Taiwei, so naturally they have to look at Taiwei's face to act."
In fact, the party gathers by like, and the things are divided by groups, what kind of person is the overlord of one side, what kind of things he likes to do, who will gather around him, and these people will like to do the same thing, which is based on the preferences of the lord.
Ling'er looked at the side of the captain, the civil officials were honest and capable, the generals were brave and good at fighting, and Mrs.
Yan was such a virtuous helper who was both civil and military, so she knew that her father had used the wrong method and looked down on the captain. ” Tang Yanyan said with a smile: "What a lovely person, Yunwen Yunwu, handsome and handsome, and so eloquent, if I were a man, I would have love for you."
Hehe, you have made a great contribution this time, and you have indeed shown your talent, and when the Taiwei comes back, I recommend you to go to Yinzhou to be a long history and senator, how about it, it is Li Yide and Ke Zhenwei who are in charge of Yinzhou, and they are lacking a virtuous person to assist. ” Long Ling's childhood Ai Ai said: "I'm a girl, can I be an official?"
Tang Yanyan said: "Why can't Taiwei Yang rule, it is not forbidden for the daughter's family to show up to do things, nor is it forbidden for women to take the imperial examination and enter the office. ” Long Ling'er said admiringly: "Taiwei acts like an ordinary person, and a woman can actually do things in the official office." ” Tang Yanyan said with a smile: "That's natural, the women of our Yang family are now also holding several important positions in the Jieshuai's Mansion, but the Taiwei said that his female dependents have too many disadvantages in the official government, and they are planning to cancel the positions we hold in the military and political circles after unifying Hexi, but it doesn't matter if other people are in office, the Taiwei only looks at talent and learning, regardless of men and women." ” "Oh, thank you, Madame, for your appreciation."
Tang Yanyan smiled and said, "So, you agreed, and when the crisis in Linfu is resolved, I will recommend it to you" After saying that, Tang Yanyan turned around and left.
Long Ming'er immediately ran to Long Ling'er's side and said excitedly: "Sister, Madame wants you to be a long-history senator Wow Sister is a daughter's family, you can actually be an official, and you can be such a big official, it seems that Madame really appreciates you." ” Long Ming'er is the most petite and delicate girl of the Long family, and she is also the youngest.
Long Ling'er looked at Tang Yanyan's back, but there was an expression on her face that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling: "Madame may not appreciate me, silly sister, I think she is afraid that the captain will appreciate me." ” Long Ming'er blinked and said in surprise: "How do you say this?"
Long Ling'er sighed: "It's only so big because Taiwei's territory is lost, if Nanzhao is also Taiwei's world, your Ling'er sister will be assigned to Nanzhao, so that you won't see it for the rest of your life." ” "Ahh Long Ming'er looked at Long Ling'er's departing back, confused:
