Chapter 451 Surrounding (1)

The old soldiers in the six towns of Northern Qi were experienced. Under the leadership of more than a thousand old soldiers, Yang Jian's army formed a camp for half a day, resisting horses, looking at the towers and city walls, and repairing them, they looked a little bit. The camps established by the Qi army were based on the "Great Wall". The main force of infantry was in front of them, facing high above, and relatively flexible cavalry and armored infantry were stationed on the back of both sides.

This is the wonder of the Northern Wei Dynasty’s ‘Great Wall’.

After the camp was built, the Grand Governor Yang Jian looked at the terrain by the railing, and couldn't help but smile and said to the left and right:

"People in later generations always listen to the words of those Confucian scholars. Anyone who talks about the First Emperor must say that he is cruel and unkind, does not care about the people's strength, and builds the Great Wall to poison the world... Although the First Emperor is cruel and unkind, it is not necessarily a false false to not care about the people's strength, there is no place to blame for building the Great Wall. Those Confucian scholars would only sit at home and talk big, and they knew that building the Great Wall would be at least two benefits:

"First, the pain of stopping the travel and defense. The former Rouran and the Turks today were all the barbarians who fought on horseback. When they fought, their family business came together, and when they ran, they fled with animal husbandry, and were not restricted at all, so they could cause disasters to the Central Plains many times. After building the Great Wall, we only need to station on various passes of the Great Wall to ensure the safety of the heartland of the Central Plains.

"Secondly, the Hu people in the north are good at field battles and shorter than siege cities, and come and go like the wind. If the Great Wall is not set up, the Hu people will rush into the mainland to burn, kill, loot, and then the losses of the dynasty will be much greater than the expense of building the city wall... If it is a large Hu people, the King of Central Plains will naturally not be afraid and can be surrounded and destroyed. However, if it is a small group of enemies entering the country to rob, the border troops will probably not be able to react in time. They will also burn, kill, loot, and leave directly after setting fire. The King of the Kings can't catch up at all. Then should they continue to fight? If they continue to pursue, they will inevitably mobilize troops and spend money like flowing water; but if they are not investigated, the Hu people may think that the dynasty is weak and will be more and more troubles in the coming year. With this approach, building a city is probably the most cost-saving method."

Yang Wei photographed the bricks and stones on the city.

"Look at this boundary, built along the mountain, not only with terrain, but also with small cities on both sides as protection, with sufficient troops and excellent military equipment. The enemy cannot overcome it if there are ten times more people.

"The barbarians south of this city were all expelled by our army, and behind them were the important military camps such as Huaishuo and Wuchuan. It can be said that we are now soldiers, food and grass, and retreat routes, and we are not short of them. We can just let go of our hands and feet to fight against the Turks!"

The previous morale of the army was sluggish, mostly because the soldiers were delayed when the war was delayed, and they were afraid that when the snowy day arrived, the Turks would cut off the Qi army's food route, and the Qi army would not have time to retreat, so they might be surrounded and destroyed.

Although this Qi army is a rare strong army and Yang Jian is also a famous general in the world, this kind of worry is still spreading more and more. Until the end, the morale of the army was affected. No one wants to stay at the Turks' home court to fight against the Turks. Even the Khitan soldiers, who are known for their skillful bows and horses, are unwilling to fight with more than ten times the Turks in an unrestrained snowy day, which is undoubtedly a death!

After seeing the city wall, the huge rock hanging in the hearts of Qi Jun fell to the ground. He had a support in his heart and knew that the Turks could no longer do anything to them. Therefore, they all smiled happily and were excited. Several of the generals could wink, bowed and said with a smile: "The Grand Governor used his troops like a god. From the beginning, he expected that there would be today. He had already made plans. Finally, he admired him so much!"

Faced with a sound of flattery, Yang Yan said in a stern voice:

"Don't be too happy too early, and you can't think you'll be restless if you get out of danger. Ashina photographed this person, ambitious and stubborn, and always regarded himself as the lord of the Turkic revival. We killed so many of him and left in front of several wolf riders, which was to slap several times on his face. I don't think he would give up."

"... The scout came to report that the large number of wolf riders gathered in the north, as if they were going south."

The generals stopped the noise, and there was no frivolity in their eyes, but only unprecedented solemnity.

Yang Qi put his hands on his back, moved his feet forward two steps, and then ordered:

"I know you can fight, and you are not afraid of fighting, but remember that those who drowned are all water-conscious, and those who die in battle are all able to fight... You must not be careless and underestimate the enemy. You must also instruct the soldiers under your command, and not slack off. Fix your bow and sharpen your sword. You must strictly follow the orders, otherwise, I will recognize you, and the military law will not recognize you!"

"Abide by the governor's orders!"

The generals and generals knelt on one knee together, clasped their fists and answered neatly. Yang Qi pondered for a moment, nodded gently and said, "Go down and prepare."

Yang Jian lived up to the name of a famous general. Four days later, there was indeed a movement from the north and east. The neighing sounds of scouts who were sending newspapers could almost make the entire camp hear: "——Report! The Turkic soldiers and horses are gathering in large numbers towards the south, with great momentum, with about tens of thousands of people, and countless supplies, cattle and sheep. In a hurry! In a hurry!"

"——Report that the enemy troops on the northeast side are less than twenty miles away from our city and are now stationed!"

Scouts riding fast horses rushed in through the camp gate and told everyone loudly that a bloody battle was coming. Everyone in the Qi army quickly prepared for the battle. They were going to put down the camp gate, but because some scouts went out and did not come back, they could only endure it for the time being. In the end, several scouts came in side by side, almost everyone was lying on their backs, and they were all shot through the neck with an arrow, and they had already died.

It is said that when this scout team went out to spy on military affairs, they encountered a wolf guard with the golden wolf flag. They originally wanted to withdraw without disturbing each other, but they were still discovered. There were many archers in the wolf guards with skillful shooting skills. Each of them shot the team of people and horses as rabbits with a long bow. Several of the unlucky guys were hit and shot through their throats with an arrow, losing their lives.

The general responsible for guarding the city gate was the Khitan Dahe family. He had a lot of contact with the Turks in his early years and was familiar with the Turks' tactics, habits, systems and other matters. When he saw the arrow thick with his thumb on the neck of the deceased, his eyes were a little wrong. When he heard that the wolf guard was shooting out the golden wolf flag, his expression was even more solemn. He said to several comrades in difficult Chinese language:

"Look at the position where these arrows were shot... such a thick arrow rod passed through, but not much blood was seeping out. Those people's archery skills were very clever. Even in our Khitan tribe, such a magical archer was hard to find. And they said that the Turkic people they saw were the golden wolf flag. But as far as I know, only the great khan could use the golden wolf flag in the Turks."

The expressions of several generals were so gloomy that water could drip out, "What do you mean is the Turkic Khan coming in person?"

"Yes, this is the only possibility."

Several people were silent. Since the golden wolf flag was lit, it means that the Turkic Khan was not far away. Although this so-called Khan was actually just a puppet taken in the picture, the appearance of this flag means that the Turkic Khan is likely to be another war that will devote all its national strength!

No wonder these Qi generals were all solemn. Although they had fought with the Turks for a long time, they didn't know that Anluo had given the position of the Khan to the photograph a few days ago. The photograph called himself "Shaboluo Dahan" and conferred Anluo as the "Third Khan". He was just a powerful minister before, but now he is a real Turkic Khan, so he is naturally qualified to shoot the Golden Wolf Banner.

When the news was reported to Yang Jian, Yang Jian didn't care.

Yang Jian had long expected that the scale and scope of this plan would not be small, and he was ready for war early. Now even if the so-called Turkic Khan came in person, he could not scare him at all. For him, this was just a small twig that arose outside the festival, and it was irrelevant. The arrow on the string was nothing more than a soldier to block it. Therefore, he just gave a light command:

"Call the generals to discuss matters."

Yang Rui was relatively generous in the military administration and had fewer regulations to restrain sergeants, but the only thing was that the requirements were extremely strict, that was, those who were on time should be killed if they were outdated.

Yang Jian asked the generals to set a stick of incense on the table. Before the incense was burned halfway, generals above the lieutenant level were already standing in the big tent. Yang Jian also tied his armor and sat in the murderous aura behind the commander's case, and ordered: "The Turks are coming in full force, I won't say anything extra... The generals obeyed the orders, and after distributing the tent, they immediately sank the soldiers, organize teams, and prepare to go out of the city to fight!"

Go out of the city to fight?

Even though these generals have been following Yang Jian for a while, they still feel their heads buzzing when they hear this order. Before these people can say anything, Yang Jian ordered again: "Wei Ying leads two thousand cavalry as the first team, Han Wu's side leads three thousand infantry armor as the second team, Dahe Shixiong leads the infantry armor, and 10,000 light cavalry to plunder, and becomes the third team. The other generals lead the troops of the headquarters. Except for the first team, the rest of the troops are commanded by me personally, so there must be no mistakes."

"The last one will obey the order!"

All the generals took the order together.

Yang Jian glanced at one of the generals and said in a low voice: "Once the cavalry front army you lead encounters a Turkic army, you can only attack on both sides and hold on. If they send troops to pursue and suppress them, don't fight with them and get out immediately. In short, before the main force of the Turkic forces arrive, you must not fight with any of their troops. Do you understand?"

The general surnamed Wei was obviously stunned for a moment and asked, "Governor, you are entangled and not allowed to fight. What is the reason?"

Yang Qi's eyes suddenly became stern and shouted: "Military orders, just implement them, what do you do?! In short, before the main force of the Turkic army reaches the mouth of the ditches in the northeast, if the troops you led had a hand-to-hand combat with the Turks, no matter whether the battle was a victory or a defeat, I would kill you and hang your head on the flag!"

Seeing that the governor looked harsh, the general didn't dare to give a single fart, so he had to obey.

After the generals dispersed, Yang Jian sighed and sighed quietly: "It's over now. We'd better expect Da Xi Changru to get some news soon, otherwise we will work hard on the expedition and lose troops and generals. After all, Mao didn't even catch a single one. Even if His Majesty didn't say it, the imperial ministers wouldn't let us go easily."
