The general manager of Hanoi, Huang Junhan, was leaning in a small boat, looking at the brightly lit Heyang Water Camp of Zhao Jun on the other side of the Yellow River.
But we saw grain ships coming from the lower reaches of the Yellow River in a steady stream, docking near the dock, unloading bags of grain and grass from the ships, and then transporting them to the city. As for outside the water camp, Zhao Jun's warships patrolled back and forth. The lights on the ships were brightly lit, illuminating the water of the Yellow River clearly.
Huang Junhan couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, Zhao Jun's water camp is too tightly defended. It's almost impossible to intercept Zhao Jun's food and grass from the waterway."
The deputy general said to Huang Junhan: "General manager, Pujin Pass is already firmly defended. It seems that Cheng Yaojin will not be able to hold it any longer. However, His Majesty told us that we are going to attack Zhao Jun's food road, but there is still no clue."
Huang Junhan said angrily: "You are anxious, am I not more anxious than you? But you must not be anxious now. Although Zhao Jun's grain road intercepts from the waterway, it is not even possible, but the distance from Heyang to the Pujin front line is nearly a thousand miles. We can always find opportunities on shore.¡±
While Huang Junhan was discussing with the deputy general, a man on the side came to report in person: "To inform the general manager, your majesty has sent the left prison guard general Li Junxian with 5,000 troops to assist our army in intercepting the grain road."
Huang Junhan clasped his hands and said happily: "With the fifth lady here, there is no need to worry about the failure of great things."
Li Junxian¡¯s nickname was Wu Niangzi because he was from Wu¡¯an County and was awarded the title of Wulian County Duke for his contribution to the Xuanwu Sect. In addition, he served in the Wuwei Army and had several five overlapping positions, so he was nicknamed Wu Niangzi by the Tang army officers and soldiers.
"However, although Li Junxian is called the Fifth Lady, she is extremely brave in battle. When she attacked Wang Shichong. Li Shimin once joked with the generals: "With the five ladies here, there is no need for the captives to worry." So after receiving support. Huang Junhan and Li Junxian joined forces. Crossed the Yellow River and landed secretly on the north bank of the Yellow River.
For Li Shimin, who specializes in attacking grain roads, Huang Junhan and Li Junxian are the unique soldiers of the Tang army.
At this moment, Zhao Jun¡¯s food team was slowly advancing through the Zhongtiao Mountains.
Zhongtiao Mountain runs along the Yellow River and is long and narrow. For Guanzhong, Zhongtiao Mountain is like a natural barrier, covering the hinterland of Guanzhong. Safety is guaranteed.
Now Zhao Jun¡¯s 30,000 grain trucks are traveling slowly on Zhongtiao Mountain¡¯s Zhongshan Road. This road is an ancient road. It was dug by the ancients in the mountains of Zhongtiao Mountain to prevent the salt from breaking the pond and transporting it to Hanoi.
Guarding Zhao Jun¡¯s grain team were the men and horses of the Wuwei Army. General Qin Qiong of the Wuwei Army led three thousand soldiers to escort the grain trucks to the Hedong front line. In addition to the 3,000 government soldiers, there are also 20,000 civilian servants.
"I was supposed to be the vanguard general, but I ended up being the general who solved the problem!" Qin Qiong said. He expressed his dissatisfaction with his arrangements.
Although Qin Qiong said this, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the rolling mountains not far away. The place was densely covered with jungle and covered by mountains. It is very easy to hide soldiers.
Qin Qiong said it indifferently, but she was very cautious in her heart. From time to time, she reached out to the saddle to hold her golden mace.
Just when Qin Qiong was thinking about it. Suddenly a burst of birds flew up in the forest.
Qin Qiong raised his hand and saw the soldiers behind him. The advance of civilian service was immediately halted.
The civil servants each picked up the holding wood and bit it in their mouths. He ran to the side of the grain truck and squatted down with his head in his hands. As for Sergeant Zhao, they picked up their spears and crossbows, and took advantage of the cover of the grain truck to stand ready in the direction of the forest.
Qin Qiong wielded his golden mace and led more than a hundred men to ride up the slope to observe the overall situation.
All this happened in just a few moments, which shows that Qin Qiong's military management is strict and Zhao's soldiers are well-trained.
"But there were only a dozen cavalry coming out of the woods, and they were all soldiers in military uniforms from Zhao. Seeing this, no one under Qin Qiong's command took it lightly. Instead, a ranger rushed forward towards the unknown cavalry team and shot a warning arrow at them to make them stop.
"I've heard for a long time that General Qin is brave and resourceful. Today I saw that he was really like this. I admire him so much. I've heard about Si Caowen!"
Immediately, a person clasped his fists and spoke from a distance.
Qin Qiong's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he put down the golden mace in his hand. The soldiers on the side of Zhao also released their prepared posture.
Qin Qiong personally rode his horse to Cao Wen, clasped his fists and said, "Cao Canjun is not in Guanzhong, why are you here?"
Although Cao Wen was of higher rank than Qin Qiong, he still clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Our company has found out that thousands of Tang troops have secretly crossed the Yellow River and seem to be planning to attack our army's food route. Therefore, I have been ordered by Your Majesty to come here to protect you." .¡±
Qin Qiong laughed loudly when he saw it and said, "Is it just your dozen cavalry? No need, I have three thousand men here, which is enough to deal with the Tang army."
After hearing this, Cao Wen smiled and said: "In fact, we can't help, but?The ones who can help are actually these two little guys. "
As he spoke, Cao Wen pointed back, but saw two men dressed as barbarians coming forward. Each had a goshawk resting on the leather holster on their right hands.
Qin Qiong's eyes lit up when he saw it and said: "This is"
Cao Wen nodded and said: "Yes, they are Turkic eagle slaves. I heard that there are only more than twenty people in the department, so I will transfer two of them to serve under General Qin."
Qin Qiong was overjoyed when he saw him and said, "With the two of them here, they are enough to defeat three hundred scouts."
Night falls!
Zhao Jun¡¯s food team set up a camp nearby.
The defense of Zhao Junliang Team is not very tight. Qin Qiong's soldiers simply surrounded the grain cart in a circle. There was no trench around the perimeter, and they didn't even place their carbine rifles or caltrops. This kind of marching formation is too crude.
Qin Qiong said to Cao Wen: "Isn't this too crude? Our Zhao army is well-trained and will never set up such a crude camp. It is obviously a trap."
Cao Wencheng said with confidence: "Although it is a simple plan, General Qin can rest assured that the Tang army will definitely fall into the trap."
"Why?"
"Because Tang Jun is pressed for time."
Qin Qiong hummed a few times after hearing Cao Wen's words, but for him, he still decided to do what he wanted. After all, Yingnu had clearly confirmed that there was a large group of unidentified people moving nearby. But who knows whether these two flat-haired beasts will lie to themselves.
¡°However, after Cao Wen¡¯s repeated assurances, Qin Qiong decided to believe it once.
So Qin Qiong left only civilians in the grain truck for defense, while he led 3,000 men and horses to ambush in the bushes nearby, waiting for the Tang army.
Zhao Jun waited until dawn. Just when Qin Qiong thought Tang Jun would not show up, he heard a rustling sound coming from the woods opposite.
"The Tang Army is here!"
Qin Qiong raised his golden mace and looked through the grass, but saw a Tang Army cavalry wearing a black cloak appearing in the woods opposite in the hazy sky. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could see that the light of the armor was covered by the broad black cloak. The tip of the knife in the hand of this Tang Army cavalry was dark, and it seemed that it had been roasted by fire. As for the horse's hooves, they should also be wrapped in cloth.
