    Of course, it won't work if it's too close. If Xiao Guan launches a surprise night attack, the distance will be too close, leaving Ast's vanguard army not enough time to react.  It is deeply imprinted in their hearts.

    This was their East Turkic army marching south. In so many years, it was the only time they encountered an army of tens of thousands. It was successfully attacked by three thousand enemy cavalry in a heavily guarded camp, and retreated safely with almost no damage. Even the leader of the vanguard army was able to retreat safely.  General, in the midst of the rebellious army, he beheaded one-on-one generals to death, and at the same time let go of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, causing countless casualties. This can be described as a great shame and humiliation.

    Therefore, the cavalry in the Tang army that is not fully prepared for the elusiveness and amazing combat effectiveness. The vanguard army must not be stationed too close to Xiaoguan. Otherwise, the tragedy of the Asde grass mud horse will not be heard in Asdewu.  It happened again.

    In addition to this thing, another thing is to send people to fill in the moat of Xiaoguan overnight, so that the army can take advantage of the opportunity to launch an siege on Xiaoguan after dawn, and capture  Seize the opportunity and fight to capture the city.

    Of course, it seems that no rational person will believe that it can be successful, but the sooner they launch an attack on Xiaoguan City Defense, the better for them, the vanguard army of the East Turks. After all, according to the plan, they  At this time, it was time to seize Xiaoguan early, invade the prosperous place within Xiaoguan of the Tang Dynasty, and let them burn, kill, loot, rape, humiliate, unleash their bestiality, and make a fortune.

    "The fact that they were blocked from Xiao Pass by the Tang army not only failed to capture Xiao Pass.  They also lost leading generals, suffered numerous casualties, and even planted spies who had been lurking in Datang for countless years.  There were hundreds of casualties. This was the biggest loss in recent years.  The losses were so heavy that Asdewu didn't even know how to explain it to Jieli Khan. Fortunately, Asde was dead and someone was blamed.

    Faced with the task of cutting grass and setting up camp, and digging and filling the river, Ashdewu Buchu originally arranged for Yixuan to cut grass and set up camp. Although this task is not an important task, it is better because there is no danger (risk and  Profits are always there. If you don't take risks, your profits will naturally become very small!), even if this Yixuan is ambitious and talented, he won't be unable to earn anything and cause trouble.

    It¡¯s a pity that Asdewu didn¡¯t show his kindness, and Yixuan didn¡¯t appreciate it. After Asdewu finished assigning tasks.  Obviously he was not convinced that Asdewu did not assign more important and more meritorious tasks to his confidant Asde Weiyi.

    In his opinion, there is nothing difficult about digging the earth to fill the river. No matter how big the moat of Xiaoguan is, it is very limited. He has more than 10,000 men working at the same time.  At most, it only takes two or three hours to complete the filling of the required areas.

    As for the danger, in Yixuan's opinion, there is no danger at all. Isn't it just the threat of the defenders' bows and arrows?

    When they first started digging and filling in the moat, it would have been after the second watch in the morning. If it was later, it would have been after the third watch. At that time, the sky was already bright and the moon was in the sky. Archers had to make a sure shot.  The goal still requires a lot of effort.

    Having said that, when it comes to Xiaoguan, it is still a question of how many guards can be awake there. If there are few manpower, it will not pose a threat to the soldiers filling the moat. Most of the night,  Sometimes when he couldn't see clearly, he believed that the defenders guarding Xiaoguan would not take drastic actions and would only shoot arrows at most.

    How many people can be injured by shooting arrows? What's more, the most important thing is that the shooting has nothing to do with him at all. It has no impact on him at all. He, the captain of ten thousand people, does not need to do the filling of the soil himself. He only needs to do it himself.  It's fine if he needs to be commanded far away. As long as he doesn't stand within the shooting range of the Tang army, he can't be threatened at all. As for the dead and injured soldiers, he doesn't take it seriously at all.

    There is no such thing as immortality in this battle. Yixuan understands this truth very well.

    At that time, it seemed to Yixuan that Asdewu was giving this easily obtained military merit to his fellow general Asde Weiyi. This made him, a captain of ten thousand men who had climbed up the ranks by robbing other people's military merits, how could he not be jealous?  How not to be jealous.

    So under Yixuan's strong request, Astdewu didn't give the task of filling up the Xiaoguan moat to Yixuan, and exchanged his task with Astideweiyi, which calmed down Yixuan at that time.  feelings of jealousy.

    Of course, Asdewu didn't expect it at that time. Although the task of filling in the moat was an easy military achievement, it was not so easy to win it easily. A certain amount of losses had to be paid. Of course,  It's definitely no problem to win it.

    So after returning to Kaiyixuan and proposing to exchange tasks with Ast Dewei, Ast Dewu agreed after some consideration.He ignored Yixuan's request and asked him to fill in the moat of Xiaoguan, making him suffer, quenching his vigor, and at the same time weakening the strength in his hands.

    For those who are domineering, high-minded, narrow-minded, short-sighted, and mercenary, Ashdewu would have been dissatisfied with him for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Yixuan was Jieli Khan who was inserted into this vanguard army, he used  To balance and restrict the people who control him.

    Otherwise, Asdewu would have ignored him long ago and relegated him to idleness, where he would have been able to stay here safely and be his captain of ten thousand people.  The Khan's favorite general, the vanguard general, the only person who restricted him Ast Dewuwei was killed by Zhang Yang. Now he, Yixuan, is the only one left. In order to prevent Jieli Khan from attacking  He became more suspicious.

    Until now, he has never thought of this idiot Dongta. It would be an easy task to deal with such an idiot with his incomparable methods. There is still his Yixuan who can point fingers at him.  , I didn¡¯t even know I was being sold, and I was helping count the money.

    It's okay now. I originally asked you to wait for your merits to arrive and steadily win a lot of military honors, but you are looking for death and are not stable. Then don't blame me, Astew, for not giving Jieli Khan face and letting you fall.  Two falls.  It's not impossible.

    It¡¯s a pity that Asdewu never thought that Yixuan would be so useless and stupid.

    When he wanted to come, it was like this.  After dark, the excavation and filling work of Xiaoguan moat can be regarded as a small soldier.  It should be possible to direct tens of thousands of people to do this project. Even if it cannot be completed before dark, it should be completed without any problem. Then after dawn, if you continue to work hard for half an hour, it will definitely be  It should be able to be completed, even if the casualties are heavier.

    It¡¯s a pity that they really didn¡¯t think about this Xiaoguan incident.  There were so many sergeants on the night watch last night. After they spent two or three hours cleaning up the entire plain in front of Xiaoguan, Yixuan led his army of tens of thousands and began to attack the moat in front of Xiaoguan.  The attack began.

    Then I thought that when Yixuan led the team to start digging and filling the Xiaoguan moat, a shower of arrows suddenly erupted from Xiaoguan. There were one or two thousand arrows shot from Xiaoguan and hit Yi  Among Xuan's team of ten thousand people who were digging the Xiaoguan moat, screams suddenly broke out from inside.  The soldiers who were digging the earth under the threat of two thousand archers suddenly collapsed.

    It retreated like a tidal wave, scattering the team transporting soil behind it. At that time, Asdewu was left gasping for breath.

    At that time, he pointed at Yixuan¡¯s nose and began to curse, not caring about the fact that he was a spy planted by Jieli Khan.

    "Yixuan, you idiot. You are an elite trooper who usually flaunts your power and praises everyone you meet. Is this what you are like now?

    I know that this army of ten thousand people in your hands was taken over from General Dehou, but look at what has become of these people under your command. They are facing the blind attack of just two thousand archers.  Shoot, they were defeated in a swarm. Tell me what use they are.

    Before, when they were in the hands of General Dehou, they were elites who had fought in hundreds of battles. In every battle, if they did not fight bravely to take the lead, they killed countless enemies and fought to the death, they were elites who never retreated. How long have they been in your hands? It has only been less than half a year.  It has turned into such an army with disorganized military discipline and no fighting ability. Tell me what you have done in the past six months to turn an iron army into this.

    ??This matter of taking down Xiaoguan City Moat is something you want to do on your own initiative. Let¡¯s see what you do first!  "

    (At this time, Asdewu didn¡¯t know that Xiao Guan actually had only two thousand guards, and one of them only had a thousand archers. To be precise, Xiao Guan now had a total of full-time archers.  There were less than 3,000 people. The remaining 1,000 people at this time were all infantry, not archers. They just took a bow and arrows and shot randomly. However, because they all had a certain foundation, the arrows they shot,  It¡¯s not too much of a deviation to make Astew think it was two thousand archers.)

    Asdewu didn't say this, which made Yixuan feel ashamed. He knew very well why his men had become so useless. He could become like this because he had nothing to do. He brought up those who were flattering him and brought up the real people.  Those who are capable will fight or be forced away.

    A team with a bad morale will naturally have little fighting power, but can he say this clearly?

    "No, if he told this, wouldn't he be asking for trouble for himself, so he just admitted it.

    Turning around and going out, he scolded the generals under him, scolding them to pieces.

    Then those generals got angry at Yixuan and committed suicideRan had to run to his men to retrieve it, so the troops in Yixuan's hands were scolded from top to bottom, which made everyone feel angry.

    In addition, although this army has become very bad under the leadership of Yixuan, most of its personnel are still there. This ensures that its previous foundation is still there, so after a scolding, it was once again under the leadership of Yixuan.  Under the command of Yixuan, excavation work began.

    It's a pity that the mud can't support the wall. This kind of army, which is already rotten to the root, will show off its courage for a moment, and it will be as powerful as a tiger.  It took three busy hours to complete a task that took less than seven hours.

    The first excavation operation this morning. Since it was broad daylight, the excavation operation was completely exposed to the eyes of the Tang army above Xiaoguan. In addition, at this time, there were already many remaining people on the Xiaoguan city wall.  Two thousand archers pulled up, and with the help of infantry who knew how to shoot, today's first wave of arrow rain was deliberately controlled, and more than 4,000 arrows were shot.

    Thousands of Turks who had just started digging were shot down by this wave of arrows, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and even more injured.

    Because of this, the scene just happened, where Asdewu sat in the vanguard tent and angrily scolded Yixuan.

    Bu Yixuan now left the vanguard camp of Asdewu Buchu with his head down. He was not sure at all that he would complete the filling of the entire Xiaoguan moat before three quarters noon. He was just forced into a desperate situation just now.  , Ashdeu agreed with the thought of killing himself and becoming a benevolent person. In fact, if there was a way out, he would never camp. This would be to die.

    Yixuan, who was not walking, saw the war horse running in front of him. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of something. Suddenly, his face, which had been frowning just now, turned into a smile with relief on his face.  smile.

    This made all the generals who knew that he was facing huge pressure feel very different. This man would not be driven crazy!

    But at this time, Yixuan was not in the mood to care about what other people thought. He was so happy that he had just thought of the solution. All he wanted was to have his subordinate Ran implement the plan quickly so that he could feel proud and proud.

    After a while, Yixuan arrived at his military camp. At this time, thousands of dejected soldiers had just retreated from the moat. They looked at him with blank eyes, sighing and complaining.

    Seeing this kind of scene, Yixuan was too angry to vent his anger, but he had secretly decided to go back and train them properly after this battle was over, to vent his cowardly anger.

    But this time is not the time for him to vent his anger. They still need them to complete the task he just promised for him.

    "Brothers, I know that the Tang army above Xiao Pass has many men, high walls, and sharp arrows. If we go to dig earth and fill the river, we can only be their living targets. Then they have no choice but to  Pray for God¡¯s blessing.

    I am very considerate of everyone on this point. Now I have thought of ways to reduce everyone's casualties. Everyone should cheer up. I guarantee that this time everyone will not go up and die like before.

    I think you don¡¯t want to be looked down upon by other brothers. At the same time, what I want to tell you is that the general has given me a deadline to complete the work on the Xiaoguan moat before three quarters noon. If I can¡¯t finish it, I will look good. If I don¡¯t feel good, brother  Don't even think about being good at it!  "
