    Chapter 72: The Tragic Beginning The person Wang Hua wanted was Gao Xianzhi.  In fact, if Wang Hua could remember more history, he would have found him long ago.  His father, Gao Sheji, had served as a guerrilla general at an early age and had made many meritorious service in Hexi, reaching the rank of ten generals in four towns.  Therefore, when he was young, Gao Xianzhi followed his father to Qiuci. Because Gao Sheji had meritorious service, he could not be awarded a higher title, so like Wang Hua, he awarded the title to the family members of Wang Hua.  The imperial court awarded Gao Xianzhi, who had just attained the title of guerrilla general, the title of guerrilla general.  But it was just a military position and I had never actually fought on the battlefield.  Even this time when Guo Yuanzhen went to Dafeichuan, he did not take this young man with him.  But because of this award, Gao Xianzhi began to enter Wang Hua's field of vision.  I don¡¯t know if Guo Yuanzhen, the old fox, will let him go. Does Gao Xianzhi agree?  Wang Hua felt a little uneasy.  If we get this young general, Blood Camp will really become a concentration camp for famous generals.  Think about it, there are Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi among the Hu generals. Even the Lun family and his son are not weak. Li Kailuo and Wu Keli are only eclipsed.  There are many famous generals among the Han generals, such as Guo Zhiyun, Wang Junchuo and the famous Wang Guo.  Feng Changqing is one of the top players.  As well as Zhang Shougui, Wang Jun, and Guo Qianguan, they all have problems of one kind or another. Even within the blood camp, they pride themselves on their superiority and sometimes disobey each other, but they are still famous generals.  Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong officially grew up, and they became one of the famous generals with both civil and military skills.  Xue Song is also remarkable.  And there are a large number of people who were trained or promoted by themselves, such as Kong Heizi, Gongsun Yun, Liu Tong and others, who also have high military talents.  In future generations, the entire Real Madrid would be even better than Real Madrid.  There are two other people who don¡¯t need to be recommended. He has always kept them in mind. Wang Zhongsi of the Wang family in Taiyuan is unfortunately only four years old.  I stopped thinking about it.  Later generations found Wang Zhongsi's talent incredible. They believed that it was Li Longji who felt so sad after Wang Haibin's tragic death that he adopted Wang Zhongsi in the palace and taught Li Jing the art of war hidden in the palace, which made Wang Zhongsi achieve such a high level.  Military talent.  That's bullshit.  Wang Zhongsi asked Li Longji to be kept in the palace for a period of time, but there was no military book from Li Jing at all.  If there was, and it was so miraculous, Lao Wu would have passed it on to Wang Xiaojie and other close generals long ago. Why did they suffer such a disastrous defeat?  The book of war is still dead, but the talent is alive.  I have never had the opportunity to see Li Jing's "The Art of War" painting, but I believe it may not be as good as "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.  "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has never been banned, and even barbarians and Tibetan people have obtained it, but how many of them can appreciate its true essence?  ¡°But teaching by words and deeds is very important, and Li Jing¡¯s apprentice Su Dingfang may have benefited from this.  Half-disciple Hou Junji also benefited from this.  There was another person Wang Hua also held grudges about, and his descendants ranked Li Zhongsi, one of the top ten Hu generals in the Tang Dynasty.  The history books only record that this general Hu was from Chang'an. This seven-foot-long and extremely powerful general joined the army very early, and as soon as the front arrived at the Anxi Army, he was reused in the back.  However, it is said that Tianbao joined the army in his early years. Based on this calculation, he may not have been born yet or he may have just been born.  So Wang Hua can only recruit so many people at present.  Of course, even if Lao Guo was suspicious and summoned Gao Xianzhi, Guo Yuanzhen would not be able to reuse him immediately.  Famous generals are cultivated step by step, just like Feng Changqing. The later top famous generals, although they were remarkable in the Yanzhou Guard War and Xiazhou Guard War, they were not able to be more perfect.  This was only achieved after Zhang Shougui treated him as a half-disciple and taught him carefully for several months.  I believe the same is true for Gao Xianzhi.  But Guo Yuanzhen is not an outsider, and it was Gao Xianzhi who agreed. If Guo Yuanzhen agreed, would Gao Sheji agree?  Thinking of this, Wang Hua felt a sudden loss in his heart.  After thinking for a long time, he asked the soldiers to bring another message: attack the heart first, attack the city second.  Unite the people and attack the nobles.  The main reason why we encountered resistance but our army went smoothly was because of the common people.  ??My previous arrangements for the people even made the people of Dafeichuan look forward to entering the eight states.  Just like some tribes in Liuhu Prefecture, they really wanted to enter the Turks, otherwise Mo Chu would not have been able to capture all the people in several prefectures this time.  It is the cooperation of these well-informed tribes that creates this.  But the people were full of doubts about Guo Yuanzhen's army.  It was not the common people who did it. It turned out that when he entered Dafeichuan, he only took away some common people's supplies to fight the Tubo people, not for possession.  Therefore, the nobles of Tuyuhun were afraid and did not dare to resist.  This time, all the Tuyuhun people east of Chiling were under his own control. Guo Yuanzhen sent troops out of Dafei Sichuan again, leaving only an area as big as a saucer on the southwest side of Qinghai, which was cut off from Tubo and could be eaten by Guo Yuanzhen at any time.  The nobles of Tuyuhun must resist to the death.  If the war situation is in a tangled state, the Tubo people willAfter sending troops this time, Guo Yuanzhen's army may be defeated.  If Guo Yuanzhen retreats, the Tibetans will once again counterattack Jishishan from both sides of Zishan and Dafeichuan.  But if he withdraws the main force, Jishishan will be empty of troops, and Jishishan will quickly decay.  Once it is corrupted, Shanzhou and Hezhou will also be empty of troops and will become even more corrupted.  He had to divide his troops and go south.  The situation in the north was once again unfavorable.  That's when disaster strikes.  Therefore, Wang Hua did not want Guo Yuanzhen to fail.  "But if we distinguish the common people from the nobles and adopt some appropriate and gentle policies towards the common people, the nobles will have no soldiers to use.  "Besides, these nobles are also running dogs of the Tubo people, and their status is not high in the eyes of the people of Tuyuhun.  With Guo Yuanzhen's ability, he should be able to do this.  But Wang Hua did not explain in detail. With Guo Yuanzhen's cunningness, after hearing these sixteen words, there was no need to elaborate.  But then I received a very bad news.  It turns out that Wang Hua¡¯s plan was to mobilize a large number of militiamen, and then detach part of the army to launch guerrilla tactics with Moju in Beihetao.  Although the combined forces of Moju and Ibili amounted to more than 8,000 people.  Wang Hua is not sure about conquering Dongshoujiang City now.  But if he sent a group of elite soldiers to fight Mo Ju in the wild and forced them back to Dongshoujiang City, Wang Hua still had a chance of winning.  In this way, the wilderness of Bei Loop will become the world of blood camp.  But after getting the news about Pugu Qing, Wang Hua made another arrangement.  This arrangement was correct, but there was one thing Wang Hua neglected, or he had to do it even though he knew he was negligent.  That was sacrificing the advantages of the wilderness and deliberately delaying the establishment of a militia camp.  This arrangement led to this sacrifice.  After Mo Chui learned the news about Xiazhou and Triangle City, he immediately summoned an army to attack Shengzhou City.  It is not his own troops. There are only a few who play a role of supervision and supervision, which is very similar to the arrangement of the Xiazhou City Blood Camp.  The others were all Hu soldiers recruited from Liuhu Prefecture, who were equipped with armor and weapons. Even the war horses were raised by the Tang Dynasty court.  The original army deployed and the young men who were later forcibly pulled in, totaling 7,000 people, rushed to the foot of Shengzhou City and began a fierce attack on the city.  Zhang Shougui was not jealous, so he used the city wall to launch a counterattack.  These stragglers suffered heavy losses under the counterattack of the Blood Camp. After only one day of attack, the soldiers immediately fell into decline.  Then at this time, the Turks shamelessly used a move to threaten their relatives.  If the city of Shengzhou cannot be conquered within seven days, the Turks will execute all their families.  ??Actually, let alone seven days, if it were just these people, they would not be able to capture the city of Shengzhou even if it took a month.  Mo Chui did not expect them to capture Shengzhou, but mainly polished the defensive weapons in the city.  It would be better to cause some damage to the blood camp.  This is again very similar to Wang Hua's arrangement.  But I didn¡¯t expect that because they were concerned about their families, these motley crews started to fight desperately because of their worries.  Moreover, after a day of offensive and defensive battles, they gradually began to take shape. On the second day, they were actually allowed to board the city several times, although no major harm was caused.  But on this day, more than 300 soldiers were injured in the Blood Camp.  So Wang Hua sent 50 additional ships to Shengzhou, not only with weapons, but also 1,500 soldiers.  Shengzhou is strategically important.  Controlled the east side of the south bank of the Loop from the east.  Then use the Queyue Formation to station an army on the west side of the south bank of the Hetao.  These two armies were like two ghosts knocking on the door, firmly stuck in the heart of the Turkic army.  These fifteen hundred soldiers were drawn from Gongsun Yun's Qinglong Brigade and Kong Heizi's Yaoguang Army.  One of the two leading regiment leaders is a Han nationality. He is a soldier transferred back from Luzon and is proficient in water warfare. His name is Liang Sitai.  One is the Hu general He Dongmo, who is also a brave general.  The fleet rushed towards Shengzhou in a mighty manner, but after passing Zhongshou Jiangcheng, they began to encounter counterattacks on the shore.  If you shoot arrows from one side, you can also move the fleet closer to the other side.  Even if arrows are fired normally from both sides, they may not reach the center of the river.  The river in this section is much wider than the river in Lanzhou. Normally it is more than 300 meters, and the width is as wide as more than 400 meters, which is between 200 and 250 steps.  Throwing it aside, now that the spring water has arrived, the water is huge and the width of the river has increased, reaching nearly three hundred steps in width.  But just for ordinary bows and arrows, if a more powerful crossbow is fired from both sides, it will still completely cover the entire river.  But Wang Hua had his reasons for giving up.  If the Turks built a pontoon bridge, it wouldn't be a matter of a day or two. Wang Hua was fully capable of defeating their plan. He even used Lanzhou's tactics of burning the Yellow River again and set it on fire.  So freeing up space in the wild is not a big problem.  As for the powerful crossbows, the Turks' bow and arrow technology is much more advanced than the Tibetan people. They also have powerful crossbows in their hands. Several cities were destroyed and they received a large number of weapons from the Tang Dynasty. Many of these weapons were used to defend the city.??Crossbow.  But the problem is not big either.  There are also baffles on both sides of the ship.  Unless the Turks now have a new trebuchet in their hands and huge stones fall from the sky, it will be a devastating blow to the fleet.  Guanjian Turks must have it.  I saw groups of Turks divided into two rows, one row holding shields to guard against the long bows of the Blood Camp.  I can't hide this news now even if I want to.  There was another row holding powerful crossbows and started firing at the fleet.  Liang Sitai and He Dongmo did not panic and began to command calmly. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With the bloody battalion¡¯s successive great victories, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they remain calm no matter how many difficulties they face.  In fact, there was no difficulty. I picked up my shield to prevent the powerful crossbow from falling from my head, and sailed the ship in the middle of the river to keep the distance.  Soldiers just need to protect themselves.  But some counterattacks began, using the range of the longbow to aim at the opponent and keep shooting arrows at them.  But Liang Sitai kept shouting: "Save bows and arrows, save bows and arrows." The Turks on the shore were helpless against them, but because they were protected by shields, they were not very lethal to the Turks on the shore.  There is no need to shoot all the arrows, these will be saved for use in Shengzhou City.  The blood camp reduced the shooting of bows and arrows. Seeing that it had no effect, the Turks on the shore shouted to each other and began to retreat helplessly.  Liang Sitai did not entangle with them, and ordered the soldiers to shake the oars vigorously and continue to move forward.  It was getting dark in the evening, and we were getting closer to Shengzhou City.  At this time, many Turkic soldiers appeared on both sides again, which made Liang Sitai alert. He watched the movements on both sides of the strait with his eyes.  But he was still negligent, and everyone was negligent.  There were many Turkic soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, all holding bows and arrows. Liang Sitai was a little puzzled.  This time the Turks came with a fierce force, which created a kind of pressure on him.  But in what ways do they threaten their own profession?  Then his eyes saw the mud on the river bank beginning to loosen, and the ropes stretched straight.  This is the ambush Mochu set for the Blood Camp, and his inspiration came to the car formation where Wang Hua attacked Jishi Mountain.  On the river was a world of bloody camps. The Turks had boats and a number of captive boats. However, the Turks did not dare to use them and there were very few people who knew how to drive slave boats.  Even if you ask local residents to drive a boat, the soldiers will react with fear when they get on the boat.  ???????????????????????????????????????¡­  But Mo Chuo was inspired by the battle at Jishi Mountain in the Blood Camp. It was not the car formation, but the noose.  There is no way to make a noose that is too difficult, such as a winch on a large ship.  But a simple noose does not require skilled Han craftsmen, even the Turks themselves can make it.  Because the Wang Hua in the wild was moved out, it became the world of the Turks. Although most Turks are landlubbers, there are still a few Turkic tribal warriors living by the river who are still good at water.  Dozens of very long burlap ropes were woven in advance.  Of course, steel rope is the best, but due to technical problems, there is no way to achieve it.  Then he pulled it to the other side, but to avoid being discovered by the blood camp, the rope ends on both sides were buried in the mud and the rope sank underwater.  When the fleet enters the rope range, straighten the rope and block the fleet.  In fact, Mo Chui was planning to catch a big fish.  There are two important points in this twist: Mochuo occupied Dongshoujiang City on the north bank, and Xueying occupied Shengzhou City on the south bank, which made the situation extremely chaotic.  Neither the Blood Camp nor the Turks will give up on these two places.  Under the fierce Turkic attack, the Blood Camp will definitely support weapons and soldiers to defend Shengzhou City.  But I didn¡¯t expect that Wang Hua was so petty that he only sent 1,500 soldiers.  This is the first step. The inspiration for the second step still comes from Wang¡¯s painting, Lanzhou¡¯s Burning Yellow River.  This fire made Mochu dare not easily build a pontoon bridge, but he used this inspiration in this battle.  When the rope gradually straightened, Liang Sitai realized that something was wrong. He immediately ordered soldiers who were good at water to go down to the river to cut off the hemp rope.  But there were too many hemp ropes, and they were very thick. After being soaked in the water for so long, they were not brittle and difficult to cut. I finally cut one off, and there was a horizontal rail in front to stop the ship from sailing.  Some ships were blocked by ropes and collided with each other. Fortunately, many of the soldiers were brought over from Luzon. Seeing that the situation was not good, they lowered the sails one by one and used the oars to row backwards to slow down the ship's speed.  .  Then use ball cushions to prevent the ships from colliding with each other and causing the ships to break.  But the fatal blow has just begun.  The rope was gradually straightening in front, and the soldiers on the bank behind used shields to push the small bamboo rafts down the river one by one.  But it was not just a bamboo raft, there were many straw branches piled on it. When they reached the river, the Turks set all the flammable materials on fire.  Taking advantage of the evening breeze, these bamboo raftsIt immediately turned into huge fireballs. As the river flowed, some rolled back to the shore, and some floated towards the fleet.  Seeing this situation, Liang Sitai knew that there was nothing he could do to save his life.  He immediately gave another order: "Throw the explosives into the river immediately." There was a large amount of explosives on the ship. If the fire came over and the explosives were ignited, the consequences would be unimaginable.  This is also the second time that explosives have not been used in the blood camp.  But the properties are different. A large amount of explosives were sent to some villages in Xiazhou, but due to various reasons, not much explosives were used.  Then they used the prisoners to grind them hard, and the Turks withdrew.  The explosives were recovered.  But now it¡¯s just a waste of time to throw it into the river.  Seeing that everyone had thrown away the explosives, Liang Sitai ordered again: "All brothers, listen up. Immediately remove the baffle, hold the baffle and swim down the river towards Shengzhou. Save your energy. And, again,  Take a baffle and put it on your head to prevent the Turks on both sides from shooting with bows and arrows. "This is a wise choice, otherwise everyone will be burned alive if this continues.  After giving the order, he began to cry.  Since the establishment of the Blood Camp, it has gone through countless battles, large and small, whether it is a big victory or a tragic victory, it is always a victory.  However, this time he failed, and failed so cowardly that he didn't even have a chance to resist.  The blood battalion soldiers were also stunned, but knowing that Liang Sitai's order was the only choice, they angrily began to remove the baffles.  Seeing this situation, Moju on the shore immediately ordered the soldiers to start shooting.  Among the dense crossbows on both sides of the river, many Blood Camp soldiers were shot to death by the crossbows without jumping into the river.  They escaped down the river and were shot by Turks on both sides one after another. Many soldiers were shot to death again.  Others were drowned alive by the river water because they were not good at water.  Although not many soldiers from the Blood Camp participated in this battle, it was a complete defeat.  Only a hundred or so people who were proficient in water properties were able to escape to Shengzhou City, including Liang Sitai. However, in front of the city gate, Liang Sitai almost wiped his own neck with a knife out of regret.  It was Zhang Shougui who went out of the city to carry him into the city.  But another regiment leader, He Dongmo, did not escape.  Although Liang Sitai was persuaded to stop, Zhang Shougui began to feel heavy.  No one thought that Mochu would use this trick.  In this way, the river no longer becomes a convenience for the bloody camp, and Shengzhou City has no weapons or soldiers to supplement, but the pressure on him is even greater.  This battle finally made Mochu feel relieved. Finally, he got a bargain from the blood camp.  He ordered again: "Do it." This was to attack An Jiewu and his entourage of a thousand soldiers and more than a thousand tribesmen.  They should send the false news back to the blood camp, there is no need to let them stay.  ¡° But he didn¡¯t expect that he had tricked Wang Hua, and Wang Hua had immediately tricked him severely, and the trick was even worse.  []
