Chapter 613 Sudden Attack
Xue Yunlai was a young man and had a common language with Li Muyun. At this time, he could no longer sleep, so he pulled him to distract himself and asked: "Prince, I think your subordinates seem to be very different from the imperial guards we brought. Can you tell me?"
Xue Wanche also pricked up his ears and listened. He also wanted to know how those guys who couldn't even get close to him were trained.
Li Muyun smiled slightly: "Actually, it's very simple. Just throw them to a place where poisonous snakes and beasts may be attacked by venomous snakes and beasts at any time for a month, and your people can become neurotic."
Xue Yunlai was confused: "Nervous?"
"Yes, it's nerve-wracking, and you're wary of any movement around you." Li Muyun shrugged.
"Is this a bit too cruel?" Xue Yunlai's expression was a little unnatural. Is it really good to train a group of people to be "neurotic"? It's not good to say that it's elite, but if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit nonsense.
Li Muyun tskated: "There is no way to go. When you enter the jungle, you have to adapt to the jungle. Because you have no way to change nature, you can only integrate into it. This is the best way to make them survive."
Xue Yunlai didn't agree with Li Muyun's point of view. Anyway, he didn't want to live such a life. Instead, Xue Wanche nodded thoughtfully. He fought with Li Er and knew very well what it means to be a soldier. If he couldn't do anything during training, he could only pay tuition on the battlefield. At that time, what he would get would be a corpse.
Seeing that this topic was almost over, Li Muyun patted Xue Wanche on the shoulder: "Old Xue, take a break early. I will take you to meet someone tomorrow morning."
"Who?" Xue Wanche asked.
"A leader of the abbot, the initiator of this rebellion." After Li Muyun said that, he raised his hand to stop Xue Wanche who was about to jump up: "Don't be so excited. This man has a high prestige among the abbots in Jiannandao. Although it is easy to kill him, it is not an excellent way."
"Why? You still keep him in the leader of the rebellion?" Xue Wanche was okay in marching and fighting, but when it comes to politics, he could not even compare to Li Muyun, who was defeated by the five scumbags.
Li Muyun was helpless about this and sighed and said, "You also know that Your Majesty asked me to quell the rebellion and slap Jiannan Road. So my mission is not to kill people, but to ensure safety in the area. So you just need to report this matter truthfully after you go back. I believe Your Majesty can understand it."
After hearing Li Muyun's words, Xue Wanche thought for a while and finally nodded, "Okay, since you said that, I'm not good at interfering in it, but I'll disappear from that person."
"Yes." Li Muyun didn't force anything. Xue Wanche didn't want to see Mengshelong, so he wouldn't see him. It was not a big deal to stay.
That's it. After staying with Li Muyun for a few days, Xue Wanche brought his people back to the house. After Li Muyun also explained some things to Mengshelong, he disappeared into the dense forest with his team and completely disappeared from the sight of everyone in Jiannan Road.
Chang'an, Xue Wanche reported the journey truthfully with the situation of Jiannan Road, and the huge Chang'an City once again caused an uproar.
It’s like there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and there are more than a hundred Li Muyun in the hearts of more than a hundred ministers in the court. In some of them, Li Muyun’s behavior is a typical deception of the emperor, while others think that Li Muyun is very smart, at least he has not caused too much murder in Jiannan Road.
In short, there are many different opinions in the court. The ministers are roughly divided into two factions. They argue about whether Li Muyun deceives the emperor every day, and some even propose to transfer him back to Chang'an for punishment.
Li Shimin was a little quarreled and could not make the right choice in a short period of time. In his opinion, Li Muyun's approach was correct. The Jiannandao rebellion had a huge political influence on how quickly it could be suppressed, at least it would not be afraid of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
But why did that bastard make so many promises, and it was the leader of a rebel man. If someone imitates this person in the future, what should he do?
Finally, Changsun Wuji came forward to speak, thinking that it would be better to wait until the Battle of Songzhou ended and Li Muyun came back to let him explain this matter, otherwise the withdrawal of troops halfway would have a great impact on morale. If this leads to the failure of the Battle of Songzhou, wouldn’t it be a joke for the Tubo people?
With the appearance of the old Changsun, everyone was temporarily calmed down, but there were people secretly collecting Li Muyun's "evidence" and intending to wait for him to come back to have a thunderous blow.
On the other side, Li Muyun and his men walked through the dense forests, heading north, opening roads across mountains and building bridges across water. In a day, they had already arrived in a mountain twenty miles away from Songzhou City. At the foot of the mountain was a ten-mile camp of Tubo people.
I have to say that there are really a lot of 100,000 people. When Li Muyun was leading 10,000 people out, he was surprised at the size of the 10,000 team, but when he saw the Tubo camp below, he was so surprised that he almost glared out his eyes.
However, Su Wanqing explained from the side: "There are actually not so many of 100,000 people. The reason why the camp is large is because the Tubo people still have a large number of war horses."
"You mean, there are more horses than people?" Li Muyun said in surprise.
"This is normal, basically nomadic peoples are like this." Su Wanqing turned her head and looked at Li Muyun. She was a little confused about why her man sometimes seemed extremely smart, and sometimes she was so stupid that she didn't even know basic common sense.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he continued to say: "And as far as I know, the Tubo people live on the plateau, and they don't have much food, so military rations are usually living things, such as cows covered with hair and sheep!"
"Yeah!" Li Muyun nodded while listening, paused and seemed to remember something. He reached into his arms and took out a brass cylinder.
Su Wanqing looked at the round tube and looked happy: "Typeg? You, did you make another one?"
Li Muyun held the monocular in his hand and shook it, saying proudly: "Of course, how can you not bring this thing when you come out to fight?"
"Take it and show it to me." Su Wanqing was anxious and snatched the telescope without waiting for Li Muyun to react.
When Li Muyun was in Shuozhou, he made one of this thing, but later gave it to Su Lie. He was taken away like a treasure and even his wife didn't let him move.
Su Wanqing specially borrowed this thing from Su Lie before going to war, but Lao Su's answer was simply: There is no thing, it's a life, you can do it!
That's it. Su Yatou followed Li Muyun on a journey with a lot of complaints to her brother. If she hadn't found that she had been walking through the mountains all the way, the telescope would not be useful, I don't know how long this resentment would last.
But now that we are in Songzhou, the battle is about to come, Su Wanqing unconsciously thought of the telescope again. Before she could come up with it, Li Muyun had already taken out another one like a magic trick. How could this make Su Yatou unhappy?
But when the telescope was placed in front of him, the girl was really unhappy. She quickly put it down and stuffed it to Li Muyun, with a coquettish tone: "What kind of mess are you? You're much worse than the previous one, and you can't even see it clearly."
Can't see clearly? Li Muyun pulled away only one and a half fingers, turning it to nearly a foot long, and then stuffed it to Su Wanqing: "Look at it now."
"Can you actually pull it away?" Su Yatou stared at her eyes wide, took it and put it in front of her, then quickly took it down, and said with a smile: "Mu Yun, this one can be seen very clearly, it's much better than my brother's one, would you give it to me?"
Li Muyun looked at Su Wanqing with her innocent eyes: "I can't say it, will you return it to me?"
"Of course not, it's mine in my hand." Su Wanqing wrinkled her nose and hugged the telescope in her arms, as if Li Muyun would come to grab it, making someone very embarrassed.
After a while, the two of them had enough trouble, and then they carefully observed the Tubo camp below.
In the monocular telescope, you can see everything at the foot of the mountain, the continuous camp tents, the Tubo warriors who are fighting, and countless cattle and sheep.
Yes, cattle and sheep! Because of geographical location, the Tubo people set up their logistics at the foot of the mountain where Li Muyun and others appeared. After all, when the Tubo people were camping, they did not expect anyone to break out of the continuous mountains, and there were nearly 10,000 people.
So when he saw all this, Li Muyun's mouth raised a strange arc, and put away the telescope in his hand, turned around and said to the messenger: "Order all officers above the lieutenant to gather."
"Mu Yun, what do you want to do? Could it be that you want to rush to the camp, right?" Su Wanqing followed Li Muyun and asked worriedly.
Li Muyun smiled and said, "It's nothing wrong to say that it's going to rush to the camp, but it's not us going to rush, but someone else."
Su Wanqing looked at Li Muyun in confusion. She knew that her man never played according to common sense, but she was still a little worried without knowing his specific arrangements.
Time is not long, and all the people needed to be recruited have arrived. Li Muyun took them to the other side of the ridge, and at the same time, after setting up secret whistles around, he said, "I'm going to raid the Tubo people's camp tonight. Does anyone want to withdraw?"
Everyone around looked at each other. It was impossible to withdraw. They traveled thousands of miles to get here, just to break the siege of Songzhou. If they withdraw at this time, they would not tell whether they would be laughed at. Even considering the tens of thousands of miles of running around and traveling through Misson, they would not be able to retreat.
Li Muyun waited for a while, and saw that everyone was not talking, he smiled slightly: "Fortunately, no one of you quit. If there is, I will cut off your head and sacrifice flag immediately."
Everyone looked at each other again, with only one thought in their hearts: madman!
But soon they didn't care whether someone was a madman or not, because the next moment, Li Muyun expressed his next action plan: "Just just now, General Su and I went to see the Tubo camp, and found that these idiots actually put all the supplies under our feet."
Pei Xingjian, as the chief of the marching, also attended the meeting. After hearing Li Muyun's words, his eyes lit up: "What is the general who means...we set fire to their military rations?"
"Smart." Li Muyun snapped his fingers and continued, "But the military rations of these Tubo people are a bit special, and their military rations are all cattle and sheep!"
Pei Xingjian instantly turned into a bitter face: "Ah?! Then, how can you burn it?"
"Who said that cattle and sheep cannot be burned. These things are more useful than food." Li Muyun laughed strangely and asked with a mysterious expression: "Even if the horse is shocked, most people can't stop it. If the cow is shocked, what do you think will happen?"
What happens if you are shocked? No one has ever thought about this problem.
However, these people had seen the look of a stern horse, and soon thought of a rushing ox. In a blink of an eye, everyone's face showed a leisurely expression.
Li Muyun's order was quickly conveyed, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were excited to hear that they would take action at night. After all, they came here from thousands of miles to fight. After the war, they would no longer have to suffer the crime of traveling back and forth in the forest.
At midnight, there were stars, and a thousand carefully selected soldiers climbed over the ridge under the leadership of Li Muyun, and lurked to the position where the Tubo people raised cattle and sheep in captivity.
Each of these people carried several torches on their backs, and the torches were covered with pine oil, because most of the growing mountains were pine trees, and there was no shortage of pine oil that armed thousands of people.
If it weren't for worrying that there were too many people and it was difficult to command, even if another thousand people came, they would have been armed.
Time passed little by little, the drums in the third and fourth, and countless black shadows crossed the fence, or flying knives, or strong crossbows, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the Tubo patrol soldiers who were scattered around them. Then, these shadows pulled out the torches on their bodies as fast as possible, ignited them, and threw them into the pile of forage in the cattle shed.
The fire started to burn in an instant, and thousands of yaks began to congestion under the disturbance of the fire.
At this moment, Li Muyun showed up with more people, either strong crossbows, torches, and people were using stones. In short, everyone used everything, with the purpose of disturbing all the cattle and sheep.
It was so chaotic. When did the yaks that had adapted to the darkness have been frightened like this? Dozens of them instantly exploded, and they mooed wildly and rushed out wildly. Then there was the second and third ones. Until the end, all the yaks started to move. When the Tubo people found that something was wrong, the scene of the rushing bulls was irreversible.
Countless Tubo soldiers who were awakened in their sleep had not yet figured out what was going on. The tent had been knocked over by the yaks that rushed over. Nearly a thousand pounds of weight rushed past their former owner's body.
The Tubo soldiers who were lucky enough to escape quickly discovered the abnormal movements on the cattle shed. The sky-sky fire and the flashing influence of the fire made their faces lose their blood in an instant. What had just happened to their consciousness - the enemy attack!
