Two days later.
The scouts who had gone to Tuyuhun to inquire about news and explore the road came back one after another.
Not only did they clearly investigate the main force of Tuyuhun, they also handed over the topographic map they drew to Wang Jian.
Three more days passed.
Wei Dabi, Zhang Mugua, Lu Dayin and others who went out to spread the news also made huge noises in various departments in Tuyuhun.
The scouts who went out to inquire about news brought back good news.
In recent days, various tribes in Tuyuhun have been spreading news that the Tang Dynasty will soon have a huge caravan, preparing to sell goods through the Tuyuhun Road to Western Turks, Gaochang, Yanqi and Qiuci. .
This huge caravan was loaded with rice paper, silk and porcelain.
These scarce goods transported by caravans are expensive items for countries in the Western Region.
For a time, King Murong Fuyun of Tuyuhun, Prime Minister King Tianzhu, Prince Tuyuhun and others sent their troops to gather towards Tuyuhun Road, eyeing this batch of goods with eager eyes.
In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.
Wang Jian sat in the first seat, Su Dingfang sat in the second seat, Xue Rengui, Er Dan and other marching general managers, as well as Guo Daquan and other marching deputy general managers were all present.
The atmosphere was not as serious as expected, but rather very relaxed.
Wang Jian first told everyone about sending a caravan as bait to attract Tuyuhun's army.
Then he passed on the news brought back by the spies to them.
"Oh my God! Commander-in-Chief Wang actually made such an arrangement!"
"Now King Murong Fuyun's two personal armies, Prime Minister King Tianzhu's main subordinates, and three The main force of the princes, a total of 60,000 people, all gathered around Mantou Mountain, waiting quietly for the arrival of the caravan."
"The caravan has entered the Tuyuhun territory, and according to their journey, it will arrive in five days. The Queen of Heaven arrives at Mantou Mountain."
"If we can successfully attack and eat this elite force of Tuyuhun, the battle will be half won."
"Commander Wang. What a strong strategy! He is worthy of being appointed as the commander-in-chief by His Majesty."
Guo Daquan and the other three deputy general managers of the march said with emotion.
They originally thought that this expedition would involve chasing the Tuyuhun army everywhere on the vast plateau and Gobi Desert.
Unexpectedly, the greedy enemy has been firmly attracted by the disguised caravan.
After they discussed a few words, Wang Jian stood up and spoke loudly.
"Everyone, the big fat fish Tuyuhun has been hooked. It's time for us to close the net."
"Now I announce the battle plan!"
Listen Upon hearing Wang Jian's words, everyone present stood up and looked at Wang Jian seriously.Wait for him to give the order.
"Xi Junmai, the general manager of the Guaji Stone Road March, took half a month's rations and led his 5,000 cavalry to rush to Guazhou within five days and clear out the Tuyuhun tribe from north to south."
"Your unit also has a mission, which is to monitor the enemies in the ambush city of the Imperial City escaping to the north."
"If they cross the vast Gobi Desert and run to Qiemo City, what will happen to our army?" The battle line will be lengthened."
"So while you are clearing out the enemy, you must also send a large number of scouts to monitor the enemy's movements."
Xi Junmai looked serious. He stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief Wang, our troops will definitely wipe out all the enemies fleeing north!"
"We will not let any fish slip through the net!"
According to the news brought back by the spies, although their army has the farthest front, they have encountered the fewest enemies.
In the area of several hundred miles from Guazhou to Fulu City, there were only more than 30,000 Tuyuhun troops.
Moreover, they are still members of the prince, and their combat effectiveness is relatively weak.
Wang Jian nodded, looked at Xu Hu, and ordered loudly.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Xu Hu, the general manager of the march on Chishui Road, took ten days of rations and led his 5,000 cavalry to arrive in Ganzhou within three days."
"Your goal is to eliminate Ambush the Tuyuhun tribes in the west of the city, and then go along the Qinghai Lake to besiege the enemies in the imperial city. "
"Your main purpose is to clear out the main forces of the Tuyuhun tribes, and there is no need to participate in several legions. Joint operations."
"If we go deep alone and the logistics cannot keep up, and if we cannot find supplies locally, we have to retreat."
"If we are surrounded by a large army. "Don't fight hard, run away quickly, there is no shame in it."
Wang Jian was most worried about Xu Hu's journey, because his lieutenant was also a lunatic who was prone to fighting.
They were afraid that the two chief and deputy marching generals, who were highly skilled in martial arts, would get into trouble and chase the enemy all the way. It would be easy for them to fall into the enemy's trap of luring them deeper.
Xu Hu said naively: "Commander Wang, I will definitely help you eliminate the enemies lying on the west side of the imperial city."
Wang Jian nodded, but did not Say more.
After thinking for a moment, Wang cut out the last battle arrangement.
"Wang Dingtai, the commander-in-chief of the Weidao March, and Xue Rengui, the commander-in-chief of the Hedao March, your two armies will cooperate with the Chinese army to encircle and suppress the main force of Tuyuhun in Mantou Mountain."
"Xue Rengui, you will lead the army for seven days "Wang Dingtai, you also bring seven days of rations, and lead your 10,000 cavalry troops." Starting from Shanzhou, go around Kushan, and end at MantouAmbush in Shandong. "
"I led the remaining troops of my headquarters to attack from the front of Niuxindui. "
"The purpose of this battle is to defeat this elite group. If you encounter enemy harassment on the road, you can send a small number of elite cavalry to chase and kill them, and the larger army must be interspersed in place. "
On the long journey, the army will encounter countless Tuyuhun troops.
If they clear them all the way, it will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
And Wang Jian also had a good time this time. Even if Tuyuhun's main force noticed something was wrong, they would not be able to escape if they wanted to.
Because they are surrounded by large armies from all sides, and they are all elite cavalry.
Xue Rengui and Erdan stood up together and shouted: "Obey the order. "
After brewing for more than a month, the battle is finally about to begin. These young marching directors are indescribably excited.
As for nervousness, there is no such thing. < /p>
They didn't feel nervous when they attacked the powerful Eastern Turks.
This time they were so well prepared to attack Tuyuhun, which was several times weaker. < /p>
Wang Jian stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "Without further delay, let's set off immediately. I wish you success! ”
“Commander Wang, we are leaving.” "
After everyone clasped their fists and saluted, they left the lobby in a hurry.
Wang Jian put his hands behind his back and stared at the march map. Suddenly, he punched Man on the head hard. He said in a deep voice at the location of the mountain.
"General Su, go down and get ready. Our Chinese army will set off early the next morning. "
"Follow orders. "
After Su Dingfang clasped his fists and saluted, Su Dingfang, who was fully armored, walked out.
The distance between the Chinese army and Mantou Mountain was the shortest. In order not to alert the snake, Wang Jian deliberately They set off one and a half days later than Xue Rengui and Erdan's army.
As night fell, a group of Tang Dynasty elite cavalry in Shanzhou stood tall and powerful. Under the leadership of fierce generals, they quickly left from various city gates
The people of Tang Dynasty who lived in the city had excited expressions on their faces
A few months ago, Tuyuhun. The army came to Shanzhou to plunder, and many of the people's relatives were killed by the foreigners.
Now the army of the Tang Dynasty finally came to avenge them!
