„horsecity? The Khitan peoplepeoplecrossedhorseCitynot to enterseveral times, hownowto havehorseCity the idea?”
“马城?契丹人已数次过马城而不入,如今怎会打起了马城的主意?”LiDuozuois surprised, turns roundto look at the map on wallhurriedly. Thismapisheto the localcounty magistrateinquired that a quitesimplemap of laterplan, can only label the approximatepositionsandseveralwell-knownmountainsrivers of variouscities, the militaryvalueis limited, can only quitestrengthen the impressionvividly.
李多祚大吃一惊,急忙回身去看墙上的地图。这张地图是他向本地县令询问之后绘制的一份比较简易的地图,只能标注各处城池的大致方位和几条尽人皆知的山川河流,军用价值有限,只能比较形象地加强印象而已。LiDuozuoselected the pointto write the small circles of horsecitytwocharacters, the ponderfor a very long time. LiDuozuonot only the soldierare now few, widowed, the sideconsidering everythingononlyhimtwocourt attendants who bringsfromFeathered Forest Guardsas well asMa Qiao, in additiononly hadYang Fan, altogethersuchfour.
李多祚点了点写着马城二字的小圆圈,沉思久久。李多祚现在不但兵少,将也寡,身边满打满算就只他从羽林卫中带来的两个郎将以及马桥,除此之外就只有杨帆了,一共就这么四员将。Infourpeople, Ma QiaoandYang Fanbegin a new career late in life.
四人中,马桥和杨帆都是半路出家。Ma Qiaoyear to yearin the armed forces, isstep by stepcrawlsfrom the soldiers, individualskill in martial artsis fine, the marchingset up formationis good, the skill of thisanalysisenemy intelligenceanddecision strategyfell far short. Yang Fanis worse than the role that hecanplayin the armed forces, leads troops, to march, set up formationnot to be good not good not good, goes to war is also primarilyindividualWu Yong, is not good atdirecting the subordinatesto display the collective powergreatly.马桥常年在军中,是一步步从士卒爬起来的,个人武艺佼佼,行军布阵还行,这种分析敌情、决策战略的本事就差得远了。杨帆在军中比他能起的作用更差,带兵不行、行军不行、布阵不行,打仗也是以个人武勇为主,不大擅长指挥所部发挥集体力量。As forthisstrategic decision, non-managertohim, thereforetheystand on one sidevery muchclever, played the role ofXuShu.
至于这种战略决策,对他而言更非所长,所以两人很乖觉地站在一边,扮起了徐庶。Imperial guardsLangJiangliMuLandao: „Great General, horseCityis not big, the commodityare also few, the Khitan peoplepeoplepassed byfromthisareain the past, has not haditsidea, the commodity that now the Khitan peoplepeoplegrabare many, does not need itsidea, ifattacksforcefully, to the Khitan people people are the gain does not equal the loss, canbe the Khitan peoplepeopleviathisplace, slightlymakes the recuperation, causes the horsecitycounty magistratesto be scared?”
羽林郎将李慕岚道:“大将军,马城不大,物资也少,契丹人以往从这一地区路过,从来没有打过它的主意,现在契丹人劫掠的物资较多,更没必要打它的主意,如果强行攻打,对契丹人而言是得不偿失,会不会是契丹人途经该地,略作休整,引起马城县令恐慌?”LiDuozuoforeheadtightens, shook the headgently, said: „The goal of Khitan peopleperson, wenoware not explicit. Theyhavemanymilitary strength, nowis not clear, frompresenttheseinformation, is very difficultto judgetheirreal objectives.”
李多祚眉心紧锁,轻轻摇了摇头,道:“契丹人的目的,我们现在还不明确。他们有多少兵力,现在也不清楚,仅从现在这些情报,很难判断他们的真正目的。”Anotherimperial guardsLangJiangchuyaw: „Enemypotentialis unclear, our armyis weak, is not suitableacts rashly. Great General, weshouldsend outto reprimand the marquisfirst, the situation of nosingKhitan peoplepersonmakes the behavioragain.”
另一位羽林郎将楚逸道:“敌势不明,我军虚弱,不宜轻举妄动。大将军,我们应该先派出斥侯,查探契丹人的情况再做行止。”LiDuozuonodded saying: „Reprimanded the marquis to send, youfastsent, found out the details of Khitan peopleperson, asking the localcounty magistrateto arrange the localguideto accompany, toheregeography, ourreprimandingmarquiseswas not familiar.”
李多祚点了点头道:“斥侯是要派的,你速派人去,摸清契丹人的底细,还有,叫本地县令安排当地向导陪同,对这里的地理,咱们的斥侯也不熟悉。”ChuYicomplies withone, walkedin a hurry. SeveralpeoplealsodiscussedinShuaiZhang, regardingattempt of Khitan peopleperson can not the methodicalness, at this moment, ownsoldierincoming telegram, the horsecitycounty magistratessend foras before.
楚逸答应一声,匆匆走了出去。几个人在帅帐中又议论一番,对于契丹人的企图依旧不得章法,就在这时,亲兵来报,马城县令又派了人来。LiDuozuoaskedpeopleto take to bring in the messenger who thatrequested reinforcements, looked the support requirement letter that horsecitycounty magistrateown handwritingwrote, askedtohim: „Yousaid that theseKhitan peoplepeopledo bring the commodity that is grabbingin large numbers?”
李多祚叫人把那求援的信使带进来,看完马城县令亲笔所写的求援信,向他问道:“你说那些契丹人带着大批劫掠来的物资?”
The messengersaid: „Yes! The Khitan peoplepeopleare stationedsouthwest the horsecitynoweven the family/homehollow of 40li (0.5 km)place. LocalWoodcutteris startledto seelarge quantities ofKhitan peoplepeopleto enter the mountain, when runs awayin a panicsaw that hesaidtheseKhitan peoplepeoplehaveseveral hundredbig and smallvehiclesfully, on the vehiclepile up with various grain and fodderandtypebelongings.”
那信使道:“是!契丹人现在驻扎在马城西南40里处的平家坳。当地一个樵夫惊见大批契丹人入山,仓惶逃走时见到的,他说那些契丹人足有数百架大小车辆,车上堆满粮草和各式财物。”OnLiMulanfaceshows the relaxedexpression, said: „Solooks like, so-calledattackshorseCity, buthad a false alarm. Khitan peoplepersonso manygrain and fodder, are impossiblealso to have an idea of littleXiaomacity. horseChengyi the mountainconstructs, YiShounanattacks , the mountain cityis barren, anythingcannotseize the thing that seizes, the Khitan peoplepeopleworks as the willnotinthis.”
李慕岚脸上露出轻松的表情,道:“如此看来,所谓攻打马城,只是虚惊一场了。契丹人有这么多的粮草,不可能还想打一小小马城的主意。马城倚山而建,易守难攻,偏偏又山城贫瘠,没什么可以掳夺的东西,契丹人当志不在此。”
The delivering a letteralleygovernment official who thathorsecitycounty magistratessendsaid: „This master, wealsothought the Khitan peoplepeopledo not have the interestto the horsecity, buttheirsoldiers and horseswent to the horsecity. Theysent the roaming cavalryto cruisearound the horsecityfirst, immediately the armyrushed, was stationedsouthwest the horsecityoutsideboth sides the city, was making the attacking a cityinstrument.”
那马城县令派来的送信衙吏道:“这位将爷,我们本来也觉得契丹人对马城没兴趣,可是他们的兵马已经到了马城了。他们先是派了游骑巡弋马城四周,随即大军就赶到了,驻扎在马城西南两面的城外,正在制造攻城器械。”LiDuozuothisalsothinks that is the horsecitycounty magistratesis very suspicious, onehear of thisnewsfrowned.
李多祚本也以为是马城县令杯弓蛇影,一听这个消息不禁又皱起了眉头。
The Khitan peoplepeoplelet offBeichengactuallyto understandthattheydo not excel atattacking a city, itsgoal is always tograb, butdoes not lie ineliminates the entirecitystrength, therefore one side besieges a cityalwayslets off, looks forward to the city the garrison troopsnot to fightto run away, thenenters a cityto grabwantonly, nowtheyshowthisstance, clearlymusthavehorseCity the idea.
契丹人放过北城倒是可以理解,他们不擅攻城,其目的一向是为了劫掠,而不在于消灭全城力量,所以围城向来放过一面,巴不得城中守军不战而逃,然后进城大肆劫掠一番,如今他们摆出这种架势,分明是要打马城的主意了。But, how manysoldiers and horses do the Khitan peoplepeoplehave? Ifmustgo to the help, thatmustfight the field operation, LiDuozuonownot onlysoldierwidowed, but also the cavalry soldierstrength in handis limited, dispatches troopsrashly, onlyfeared that could not solveencirclement of horsecity, insteadcompletelyhas ruinedownarmy, ifsuch, there is nothing likeclung to tenaciously the daughterto smelt.
可是,契丹人有多少兵马呢?如果要赴援,那就得打野战,李多祚如今不但兵微将寡,而且手中的骑兵力量有限,贸然出兵的话,只怕解不了马城之围,反把自己的军队全部葬送了,如果那样,莫不如死守千金冶。horseCity the messengerurgedunceasinglythathoweverbeforehaving a more accurateinformation, LiDuozuonaturallycannotact rashly. LiDuozuotold that the personleadshorseCity the messengerto get down the first rest , to continue to analyze the combat intention of Khitan peopleperson, waitsto reprimand the marquisnews.
马城信使不断催促,但是在掌握更准确的情报之前,李多祚自然不会妄动。李多祚吩咐人带马城信使先下去休息,一面继续分析契丹人的作战意图,一面等候斥侯消息。Midnight, reprimanded the marquisto returnfinally, LiDuozuoheard the newsto throw on clothingto get out of bedin a hurry, calls to the commander's tentasks. Yang Fan, Ma QiaoandChuYiandLiMulanlivearound the gracefulaccount, hears the newsalsoin a hurryto catch upbusily.
半夜时分,斥侯终于返回,李多祚闻讯匆匆披衣起床,升帐问讯。杨帆、马桥、楚逸和李慕岚就住在帅帐周围,听闻消息忙也匆匆赶来。Yang Fanhas not pursued the husband and wifecomes the northernnewsto tellLiDuozuo, AnuandGu Zhutingare not then goodto make an appearance, is goodaftertheyreturn to the citywas also easyto allowto change costume, plays the role of the bigbusinessman of goodmagnanimous act, but alsolivedintheiroriginaldwellings. Thiscitycounty magistratetotwopeopletreats, ifhonored guest, tothemisattentiveto the greatest extent.杨帆没有把家室追来北方的消息告诉李多祚,阿奴和古竹婷便不好露面,好在两人回城后又易容改扮,扮回了行义举的大商贾,还住在他们原来的住处。本城县令对二人待若上宾,对她们自是殷勤备至。ThisreprimandedHouBing30about, a capableappearance, the speechalsoreallyhad the orderliness: „Great General, the Khitan peoplepeopleare really attackinghorseCity. When BeiZhiand othersrushed tohorsecity, theynearbyin the treesusing the mountainhave madesomecrudeattacking a cityinstruments, lives the fire, the nightattackshorseCity.”
这斥侯兵30出头,一副精干模样,说话也甚有条理:“大将军,契丹人果然在攻打马城。卑职等赶到马城附近时,他们已经就近利用山中树木制造了些简陋的攻城器械,生起大火,夜攻马城。”From the LiDuozuofollowingaudiencesis the lookonetight. ThatreprimandedHouthen saying: „Brothersclimb up the mountain, under the flameobservationtaking advantage of the mountain, Khitan peopleencirclesWestern citynot to hit, the concentration of effortattacksNancheng, the total military strengthapproximately about 10,000people!”
自李多祚以下众将都是神色一紧。那斥侯接着说道:“兄弟们爬上高山,借山下火光观察,契丹围西城而不打,集中兵力攻打南城,总兵力约在10000人左右!”horseCityis not big, particularlyrelies on the mountainto construct, mustattack a high place from below the difficultyto be biggerfrom the west, onlyconcentratesto attack the words10,000soldiers and horsesfeet of Nancheng, the populationare manydid not openon the distribution, canput into the fightactuallyalso5,000-6,000people.
马城不大,尤其是倚山而建,从西面要仰攻难度更大,只集中攻打南城的话10000兵马足矣,人数再多了就排布不开了,实际能投入战斗的也就五六千人。LiDuozuosinkingsound track: „Theyremain behindeven the family/homehollowhow many people have?”
李多祚沉声道:“他们留守平家坳的有多少人?”ThesereprimandedHouBingto moveseparately, havehorseCity, hadeven the family/homehollow, allnewscompiledto reprimand the marquisleaderto locatetothisto report, thereforethisreprimanded the marquisto be all clear, immediatelyreplied: „Brothersgropingwatch foreven the family/homehollow, looksis notveryclear. It is estimated that the garrison troopsare not mostover3000people.”
这些斥侯兵分头行动,有去马城的,有去平家坳的,所有消息汇总到这个斥侯头领处才呈报上来,所以这个斥侯全都清楚,马上答道:“兄弟们摸黑窥伺平家坳,看的不是很清楚。估计守军最多不会超过3000人。”He, adds: „Byevenfamily/homehollowsteep and dangerous, only thenmedicineagricultureWoodcuttercanclimb upwith the rope, the armyalreadycannotthrough unable to guard, the Khitan peoplepeople only need defend the mouth, 3000people of feet. The brothersjudge the mouthgarrison troopsless than3000, isbecausetherecannot arrangemoresoldiers and horses.”
他顿了一顿,又补充道:“平家坳两侧陡险,只有药农樵夫以绳索可以攀爬,大军既不能通过也不能驻守,契丹人只须守住谷口,3000人足矣。兄弟们判断谷口守军不足3000,也是因为那儿安排不下更多的兵马。”LiDuozuonoddedgently, LiMulansaidangrily: „Khitan peopleare very extremely arrogantnow, does not pay attention tous, knew perfectly well that weare stationedhere, divide forcesto attackhorseCityunexpectedly, onlykeeps3000peopleguard the military baggage, the haughtyusdoes not placein the eye!”
李多祚轻轻点了点头,李慕岚愤然道:“契丹如今好不狂妄,根本不把我们放在眼里,明知我们驻扎在这里,居然分兵一路攻打马城,只留3000人守卫辎重,大剌剌的根本不把我们放在眼中!”ReprimandedHouWeiluto be awkward, said: „ General, BeiZhihas not saidthatBeiZhiand otherssearchedto observeclearly, on the way of returns to the daughterto smelt, smellssmell of horsesrunning free, 12horses are impossibleto spread such bigsmell, BeiZhicauses suspicion, thenabandoned the horses, wentto investigateon foot, discoveredin the setting sunriver bank, Khitan peoplesoldiers and horsesambushes.
斥侯微露尴尬,道:“将军,卑职还没有说完,卑职等探察清楚,返回千金冶途中,顺风嗅到一阵马匹的气味,12匹马是不可能传出这么大的气味的,卑职生疑,便舍了马匹,徒步前往察探,发现在落日河畔,有一支契丹兵马埋伏。horsedoes not have the long and loud cry, personallsilent, the ten pointssecret, it seems like that the Khitan peoplepeoplehave made the preparation, does not make the troopssend out the least bitsound. Because the weatheris dark, the inferiordutyis unable accuratelyto judgetheirpopulation, onlydepends on the topographyto estimate, most , in 8000rides. BeiZhidoes not darefor a long timeto delay, for fear thatwas realizedbythem, returnshastilyquietly. ”
马无长啸,人皆无声,十分的隐秘,看来契丹人是做了准备的,不让人马发出半点声息。因天色黑暗,卑职无法准确判断他们的人数,只依地势估计,最多当在8000骑。卑职不敢久耽,生怕被他们察觉,连忙悄悄返回。”LiDuozuochanges colorsuddenly, hurriedlooksagaintoward the mapon. Thismapaccounted orallyto drawbecause of the native, wasneareris naturally clearer, fartherscantiergrass. horseCitysmelts the recentcityaway the daughter, before both, associatesfrequently, thereforeinmountainsriverflow channelmostclarity of by-roaddescription.
李多祚陡然变色,急忙再往地图上看去。这张地图既是因当地人口述而绘,自然是越近越清楚,越远越寥草。马城是距千金冶最近的城池,两者前交往最为频繁,所以山川河流道中间路描绘的最清楚。LiDuozuocarefullylooked, the setting sunriveristworiverintersection points, herehas a piece of delta, the place that is also reprimands the marquisto say the Khitan peoplesoldiers who ambushes. LiDuozuorecalls the geography and area of thatplacehehas understoodcarefully, ifcompletelyis the cavalry soldier, shouldmost, only then5000ride, are many troops, althougharranges, oncein factrushes ahead unable to distribute, instead the display of influencestrength.
李多祚仔细看了看,落日河是两条大河交汇处,此处有一片三角洲,也就是斥侯所说的契丹兵埋伏的地方。李多祚仔细回忆了一下他所了解的那个地方的地理和面积,如果尽是骑兵的话,应该最多只有5000骑,再多的话人马虽然安排得下,实际上一旦冲杀起来排布不开,反而影响战力的发挥。Thisriver mouthdaughterYechenggoes tohelpshorseCity the essentialimportant highway, daughterYechengin the north of horsecity, this timeisearly winter, is blowing the north wind, thereforegoes to the soldiers and horses that helpsnot to be impossible the smell that smellsnumerouswarhorseaccumulationsto produce. Ifdid not reprimandmarquis'sdiscovery, whenLiDuozuocommanded the armyto go to a hurryhelps, thisKhitan peopleambushersuddenlykills......
这个河口正是千金冶城赴援马城的关键要道,千金冶城在马城的北面,此时是初冬,正刮北风,因此赴援的兵马不可能嗅到众多战马聚集产生的气味。如果不是斥侯的发现,当李多祚率军匆匆赴援时,这支契丹伏兵突然杀出……Thinks that sinister of Khitan peopleperson, LiDuozuohas held breath an cold air/Qi.
想到契丹人的阴险,李多祚不由倒吸了一口冷气。Hisaltogether20,000soldiers and horses, abouthalfancient covered wagonlarge armies, the strengthis limited. Oncegoes to the help, he must keeppart of military strengthto guard the daughterto smelt, cango tohelpshorseCity the military strengthto be limited, ifthislimitedsoldiers and horsespartlywere crossed againto strikeby the Khitan peopleambushers, being annihilatedwill shortly be only the matter.
他一共20000兵马,其中还有近半辎重兵,战力有限。而且一旦赴援,他也不可能不留出一部分兵力守卫千金冶,能够赴援马城的兵力有限,这有限的兵马如果再被契丹伏兵半渡而击,全军覆没只是顷刻间事。LiMulancomplexionuglytunnel: „The gooddeceitfulKhitan peopleperson, wecannotdivide forcesto go tohelp.”
李慕岚脸色难看地道:“好狡诈的契丹人,如此说来,我们是不能分兵赴援了。”ChuYialsocomplexiondignifiedtunnel: „Does not know that someKhitan peoplepersonalsomanysoldiers and horses, perhapsthey in secretalsoambushto havesoldiers and horses, onlywaitsusto dispatch troops, thenseizes the chanceto sneak attack the daughterto smelt, althoughthiscitydoes not havehow muchgrain and fodder, has the massiveiron hardware, the Khitan peoplepeoplebattlescontinually, the damage of arrowarrowandweaponmustbe also serious, perhapshereistheirtruegoals.”
楚逸也脸色凝重地道:“也不知契丹人还有多少兵马,说不定他们在暗中还埋伏有一支兵马,只待我们一出兵,便趁机偷袭千金冶,此城虽无多少粮草,却有大量的铁器,契丹人连番作战,箭矢、兵器的损毁必也严重,恐怕这里才是他们真正的目标。”LiDuozuoshakes the head saying: „Cannot! Iftheirsoldiers and horses are really sodistribute, thentheirgoalsshouldbehorseCity. Theywantto eat the soldiers and horses that wego tohelp, wields the armed forcesto seize the daughterto smeltagain, has the possibility of ambushernot to be big.”
李多祚摇摇头道:“不会!如果他们的兵马确是如此排布,那么他们的目标应该就是马城。或者,他们是想吃掉我们赴援的兵马,再挥军来夺千金冶,另有伏兵的可能不大。”LiDuozuopoints at the map saying: „ Youlookedthataccording to the combat report that wereceivemostnewly, Khitan peoplearea the gorgelamountainresistsLouShideLouGreat Generalsoldiers and horses, anotherareaKunYangHe, confrontswithWuYou the suitableunit that receiving ordersto go to battle with, although the Khitan peoplepeoplewinagain and again, is even more extremely arrogant, butmustresistsuchtwosoldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses of theireachunitwill not be less than20,000people.
李多祚指着地图道:“你们看,根据我们最新收到的战报,契丹一部在硖垃山一带抵御娄师德娄大将军的兵马,另一部在坤阳河一带,与奉旨出战的武攸宜部对峙,契丹人虽然连连取胜,愈加狂妄,可要抵抗这样两支兵马,他们每部的兵马不会少于20000人。AlthoughKhitan peoplewinone after another, makingsomeinitiallyone after anothernot go for shelterwith the Khitan peoplesmalltribe that theyrevolted, buttheirgoing for shelterhave also supplemented the Khitan peoplepeople, becausebattled the soldierlosses that continuallycaused, theirtotal military strengthswere only60,000-70,000peopleas before.

虽然契丹接连取胜,使得一些当初没有跟着他们造反的契丹小部落也相继投奔,可是他们的投奔也只是补充了契丹人因为连番作战所造成的兵员损失,他们的总兵力依旧只有六七万人。这样的话,出现在马城地区的契丹人,最多只有20000,攻打马城的、留守辎重的、再加上这路伏兵,总计大约在20000人,恰已用去他们的全部兵力,他们已没有余力另派伏兵了。”Did not know that Yang Fan that excels at the militarythereforehiding one's incompetence by remaining silent, looks that LiDuozhuogesticulateson the map, thump, has thought of a fearfulpossibilityat heartsuddenly. „Mr.XuShu”coughs, has preparedto speak......
