Chapter six hundred and sixteen: Tocharo's backlash
Li De was very focused on baking the food.
Helan Mountain is very large, with nearly 20,000 cavalry hiding there without any trace. He is waiting here for Tochar to send troops to rescue Laza.
If there was such a force, it would inevitably be the elite cavalry under Tocharo. The other Tubo army is now invested in the Yinzhou battlefield, which is almost for nothing.
After Li De flew a shot, he moved to Ningshuo County and ambushed in Helan Mountains, waiting for the right fighter. If he could find an opportunity and destroy an elite cavalry in Tocharo, he would inevitably give Tocharo another heavy blow.
Countless scouts were wandering outside the mountain, waiting, looking for fighter opportunities.
Liu Xiaochan came back from patrol camp. Li De had just baked the food with bamboo sticks in his hand. A layer of egg liquid was roasted golden and the aroma came to his nose.
"After just a moment, son, where did you get these delicious food again?" Liu Xiaochan sat opposite Li De and reached out with honesty and unceremoniousness.
Li De can always pick up some delicious food anytime and anywhere. After getting married, Liu Xiaochan has learned about this. She never knew she could eat some things, and after Li De fiddled with them, the taste was excellent.
Li De smiled and handed the things in his hand to Liu Xiaochan.
I took the skewers and put them in my nose and sniffed them deeply. Along the way, I basically ate dry food and cold food, and I rarely have such delicious food.
When I bite it, the fragrance spreads everywhere. The egg yolk is wrapped in meat. I don’t know what it is. My small body is crispy and crisp when chewed.
"It smells so good, what is this?" Liu Xiaochan chewed in big mouthfuls, and then ate three buns in two or three times.
Li De smiled strangely: "It's good to have fragrance, do you care what it is?"
Seeing Li De look a little weird, Liu Xiaochan's eyes slowly widened: "What the hell is it?"
Li De shook his head and refused to answer.
The two were in a stalemate, but suddenly a cheerful voice came from one side: "General Li, he has dug out several more nests!"
Liu Xiaochan turned around suddenly. Li De had no time to stop him. The two of them watched Li De's personal hand walking over with bunches of pink things. The little things were still struggling and twisting in the hands of the personal hand.
Liu Xiaochan's face turned pale little by little.
They were some small field mice that had just been born.
The personal soldiers were unaware of anything, holding a field mouse in one hand and a bird's nest in the other: "General, he dug up another large family and a bird's nest, with five or six eggs!"
Liu Xiaochan took his eyes back from his personal soldiers, stared at the skewers in his hand, and slowly moved his eyes back to Li De.
Li De nodded.
Liu Xiaochan suddenly felt that the abdomen was overturning. When she turned her head, she vomited all of them with a wow sound.
"Li De, you actually gave me a rat!" Liu Xiaochan screamed. Li De quickly moved to her side and stroked her back, "I'll eat it after eating, and I'm still asking what are you asking? Didn't you just say it's delicious?"
Liu Xiaochan opened her mouth, but then turned her head suddenly and vomited non-stop.
The personal soldier seemed to know that he had made a mistake. He was stunned for a while, then turned around and ran away without a trace.
"Damn it, it's not the time to come, and run faster." Li De cursed in his heart. "This thing was just born, it's not dirty, it's clean. We often ate it when we were young, and sometimes we can get vinegar or something. Dip it a little, and the thing is still squeaking. If you bite it, it's fresh."
Wow, Liu Xiaochan even spit out bitter galls.
Only then did Li De realize that he seemed to be getting worse and worse as he said it.
Actually, what is this? I ate earthworms when I was a child, and they were very nutritious. If I hadn't eaten anything, I wouldn't be as strong as I am now? If I weren't strong, how could Tu Erye take him away? Even the little yellow-haired girl Yan Jiu, if Li Han hadn't sacrificed his life to raise her, she would have a good body and would not have been taken away.
Mr. Tu will not let the skinny and sickly seedlings beetle.
But I definitely can't say this now, otherwise the person in front of me would have to vomit.
What about the lucky ones who come out of everyone!
After finally vomiting, Liu Xiaochan realized that she was still holding the skewer in her hand, and threw it aside as if she was holding a spark. Li De felt distressed and quickly picked it up.
Liu Xiaochan ran away quickly, ran away a few steps before saying weakly: "You can give me something like this in the future, so I won't deal with you well."
Li De laughed: "You rushed to eat just now."
It was not until Liu Xiaochan ran away that his personal soldiers tiptoed over. Li De kicked him angrily: "Damn it, I want to kill me!"
The personal soldiers smiled and said, "General, I'll bake it."
In fact, for the rangers under Li De, especially the older generation of rangers, they really went through the most difficult period. At that time, they ate whatever they caught, and sometimes even insects were a rare opportunity for their teeth to sacrifice. If they could catch such a nest of little mice, it would be a joyful thing.
Later, the Rangers joined the army had already had much better life, but these newly enlisted soldiers would be forced to eat these things by the veterans. The thousands of Khitan cavalry under Zhang Jia's command were also not very particular, but the cavalrymen of the Zuo Jinwu Guard had never suffered such hardship.
Life is much better now, and every soldier carries pancakes, jerky meat, and fried noodles with him, but for Li De, these nutritious gadgets are indispensable supplements.
The rare rest time is precious for these long-distance cavalry.
On the third day of hiding in Helan Mountain, the scouts outside the mountain finally returned one after another.
But the news they brought made Li De puzzled.
"A elite cavalry of more than 10,000 people is advancing towards Yinzhou. It seems that they are going to rescue Laza!" Li De touched his chin, looked at Liu Xiaochan in front of him, and Xue Jian said in confusion: "Even if ten thousand people are elite, what is the purpose of investing in Yinzhou? Tochar's headquarters is retreating, which is expected. However, the main force retreated and sent an elite cavalry to die. Is this unreasonable? Tochar is so unwise?"
"Maybe he was anxious and confused!" Liu Xiaochan said.
"Bad!" Li De bluntly said to his wife, "Li De never gives anyone a face in business. Even if this person is his wife, as for whether he will be cleaned up and begging for mercy in the middle of the night, that is another matter.
"If Tocharo makes such a low-level mistake, the old sows over there will be trees. General Xue, you are very knowledgeable, guess what the old turtle of Tocharo wants to do?"
Xue Jian pondered for a while and said, "General Li, even if Tocharo wants to retreat now, it will be very difficult. After all, in Xiazhou, there are still tens of thousands of Du Youcai's army staring at them with their eyes. If I were Tocharo and wanted to retreat safely, I would be afraid that I would have to find a way to get Du Youcai heavily."
"In other words, this cavalry is just a cover, and it is for people to see, and their real goal will never be in the Yinzhou direction." Li De pulled out a map from his arms and looked at it repeatedly, but his face became worse and worse.
"What's the reaction of Du Youcai in Xiazhou?" He turned to ask another scout.
"The Du Youcai troops in Xiazhou were all elite. Du Youcai personally commanded it and pursued Tocharo and headed towards Lingzhou." The scout said.
"Oh no!" Li De glanced at Xue Jian: "I'm afraid Tocharo will set a trap and wait for Du Youcai to be fooled."
"I think so too." Xue Jian said: "General, where is the right place for setting up an ambush in Tochar?"
"Tongwancheng!" Li De stood up straight: "Tongwancheng between Wuding River and Hei Shui. Once Du Youcai was in this area, he could only seize the Tongwancheng. Tocharo only needed one seal, and Du Youcai became the turtle of the man in the middle of the palace. The cavalry that was out was not from Yinzhou, but from Xiazhou who were preparing to attack halfway to rescue the Xiazhou tribe. Who was left behind in Xiazhou?"
"Du Liang!"
"It's over. If it were Dai Lin, or more mature, Du Liang would definitely go to save him." Li De cursed. "If he was hiding halfway, Tocharo would definitely have another army to rob Xiazhou City. Xiazhou City is rich in supplies, and the essence of the entire Ansui was moved to Xiazhou City some time ago by Du Youcai. Tocharo wanted to make a fortune when he left!"
"What should we do?" Although Xue Jian is a veteran, this army is led by Li De: "Do you want to send troops immediately and destroy this Tubo cavalry?"
"This Tubo cavalry must be the elite of Tochar. If we fight head-on, we will suffer a lot of losses. It is not cost-effective!" Li De thought for a moment, waved his hand, and let the other generals and scouts retreat. Only Xue Jian and Liu Xiaochan were present.
"What are General Li's plans?"
"I have an idea!" Li De suddenly laughed. "This matter is done well, and I think it will be of great benefit to us in the future."
As expected by Li De, Tochar designed a big trap and introduced Du Youcai into the siege. Thirty thousand Xiazhou soldiers were surrounded by Tochar in Tongwan City.
The city defense facilities of Tongwan City, which were occupied by Tubo for a long time, were basically destroyed. When Du Youcai had to enter Tongwan City, he realized that he was facing an extremely dilapidated city and a siege of nearly 100,000 Tubo troops.
Du Youcai, who wanted to take advantage of Tocharo's hastily retreated, was finally cheated by his own little thoughts.
Tocharo was unable to rescue the troops of Laza in Yinzhou, but at this time, he regarded Du Youcai's Xiazhou soldiers as a punching bag. The continuous fierce attack made Du Youcai exhausted and struggling.
