Ever since Pan Lenglen got the news from Huo Kan and accidentally let it slip when he was persuading the people to leave the city, the news of the Tuqishi's imminent attack spread quickly throughout the city as if it had wings. , the city suddenly fell into chaos, and every street in the city Shops closed down one after another, and the hawkers who set up stalls on the street quickly packed up their stalls and disappeared without a trace.
The people who were still wandering and buying things on the street also dispersed.
In just half an hour, the entire street was empty.
Not a single soul could be seen on the streets of Changcheng.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Tuqishi people raided the city of Diawhuan.
In the past, Khan Sulu of the Tuqishi took great risks and took great risks to cross the Badaling Mountains and raid Dashi City and Diawhuan City.
At that time The city was completely defenseless and was bloodbathed by the Tuqishi.
But that was in the summer, and even though it is winter now, it is obvious that the bloody lesson is still vivid in their minds.
Many people in Diazhuai City still remember it fresh.
When they heard that the Tuqishi people were coming again, the people were I would rather believe that they all hid, which saved the city lord Pan Lengleng a lot of trouble, at least there was no chaos in the city.
But he said that Zhao Ziliang led a large group of troops to the Diaoguan River soon after leaving the city.
He did not know which section of the river the Tuqishi people had reached.
If the Tuqi Shi people were marching too fast to the west of Tianshan Mountain, they would be afraid of the distance at this time.
Dialong City is not far away.
If Tuqi Shiren is blocked by heavy snow on the road, he still has enough time to prepare, so he must send people to investigate.
Zhao Ziliang immediately called Wang Can and ordered: "Immediately send Ye Bushou to ride fast horses along the dial city to search and explore upstream.
Each person is equipped with three war horses.
Once traces of Tuqi Shiren are found, they will immediately report on flying horses. " "Nuo" Wang Can took the order and left.
Zhao Ziliang called over the leading lieutenants and deputy lieutenants of several other battalions and said: "Maybe you still don't understand why this bonus is brought out for you.
To be honest, it will be repaid based on our detailed work in Tuqi Shi.
The Tuqishi people have sent a team of troops to our territory in the Tang Dynasty.
There are not many people, only 3,000 people, and it is winter now.
According to our previous thinking, we believe that in this kind of weather, it is impossible for the Tuqishi people to raid our border with the Tang Dynasty, so the Tuqishi people dare to come with confidence.
Based on the analysis of information from various sources, this general believes that they It will come from the Diazhuan River.
You see, in normal times, it would be extremely difficult for the Tuqishi people to cross the Tianshan Mountains and reach Dihuai City.
Moreover, our garrison has also arranged troops to garrison in Bodaling, but now The river is frozen.
They can slide on the ice on the river.
Come here, we don’t know where they are at this time.
If we prepare for the battle earlier, we will have a better chance of winning.
Now the Tuqishi people will definitely not think that we already know their movements, so we can completely change the city when they come.
I caught them off guard halfway.”
Fighting in a war is a happy thing for the generals, because if you fight in a war, you will have the opportunity to perform meritorious service, and if you perform meritorious service, you will be rewarded and promoted.
The opportunity is precious, so the generals are extremely excited and eager to try.
Of course, this is only one aspect; on the other hand, not all soldiers come just for rewards and promotions.
There are still a considerable number of people who come here for the ideal of serving the country.
Now that the enemy is coming, they have been waiting for so long. , the opportunity has come, of course I will not let it go.
Li Siye, Wei Meng, Lei Wu, Huo Kan, Liang Qi, Zheng San and others all raised their hands and said: "Please give the general order, we will fight to the death with the enemy."
Zhao Ziliang waved, and a retinue brought over a sheepskin map.
Zhao Ziliang found the location of Diazhuai City, moved his finger westward, pointed at the intersection of Hulu River and Diazhuai River, and said: "The Tuqishi people need to go from the ice If you slide over, there will definitely be no cavalry.
People can slide on the ice.
But the horses couldn't do it, so they must have given up their horses in Dondo City.
It was fastest to slide over the river, and here, at the intersection of the two rivers, the river here is wide and the terrain is flatter than other river sections, so They should stop and go ashore in this area, but the ice here should It is thinner than other sections of the river and is easy to cut through.
Wei Meng, take all the cavalry and go ahead.
Get here and use weapons to cut through the ice on the river.
If the cavalry is unable to stop in time, they will inevitably slip into the river.

Among them, even if you can swim, you will freeze to death in this weather if you cut through the ice After the meeting, if the follow-up troops have not arrived yet, and the Tuqi Shi people have not arrived yet, you should find a place to hide on both sides of the river bank.
If the follow-up troops have not arrived, but the Tuqi Shi people have arrived first, you can make a decision based on the actual situation.
Should we launch an attack or continue to hide, but we must send someone to report."
"Promise" Wei Meng agreed, and quickly led all the cavalry forward.
Zhao Ziliang, with the third battalion, Modao team, a small number of the second battalion and the baggage team, speeded up.
If it is a field army, such as the Shule Army, each soldier has his own private horse.
Not only can he ride on it, but he can also carry a large amount of equipment and food.
The marching speed will not be much slower than that of the light cavalry army.
This is mainly the salary of the field army.
It is much higher than that of the garrison.
The soldiers are relatively wealthy and can afford private horses, but the garrison cannot.
Since he did not know the specific location of Tuqi Shiren, Zhao Ziliang did not dare to let the army run forward.
This would consume the soldiers' physical strength.
Once they reached the river crossing area, Tuqi Shiren suddenly arrived and the soldiers had not recovered their physical strength, which would be troublesome. , so he could only ask the soldiers to speed up the pace, but they could not run forward.
In fact, since Zhao Ziliang took up the post of Shouchu Envoy, he has paid special attention to the physical training of the soldiers.
The training time is not short, but this time is still too little.
If there are three to four months, , the physical fitness of the soldiers will be greatly improved, but it is not yet In two months, although the physical fitness of the soldiers has improved a lot, it is still far from meeting Zhao Ziliang's requirements.
This place is still more than ten miles away from the intersection of the Bohuan River and the Hulu River.
If the soldiers are allowed to run at full speed, they will By the time they got there, the soldiers were already exhausted.
What else was there to fight?
The army had been walking for about half an hour, when suddenly several fast horses came galloping forward.
A knight rode one, and the other two horses were empty.
Zhao Ziliang saw that it was a night warrior.
"Report to the general.
Colonel Wang asked the villain to report to the general that the Tuqi Shi people are here.
At this time, they are only forty miles away from the intersection of the two rivers.
According to the speed at which they are gliding on the ice, they can reach it in only half an hour. " Zhao Ziliang got a look on his face when he heard this, and he calculated in his mind that this place was still seven or eight miles away from the confluence of the two rivers.
If the entire army marched forward at a trot, it would take half an hour to arrive, which meant that he only had half an hour to prepare.
About an hour, maybe less than half an hour.
Zhao Ziliang immediately said to Chu Ge: "The whole army is ordered to run forward at a trot, especially the baggage team.
They must follow quickly.
I will also use their Fuyuan Crossbow and Arm Zhang Crossbow."
"promise" The order was conveyed quickly.
Many messengers rode fast horses and ran back and forth quickly on the side of the army.
As they ran, they shouted: "The general has an order.
The whole army is marching forward at a trot.
The whole army is marching forward at a trot."
The entire team moved quickly, flags everywhere fluttering in the wind and making a whistling sound.
The soldiers ran in neat steps, exhaling hot breath constantly, and their bodies warmed up as they ran.
The baggage train at the end of the team was also much faster than before.
The sleds and carts pulled by mules and horses were all pushed by the soldiers to rush through the snow
