Zhang Wu's troops finally crossed the Qilian Mountains, led by mountaineer Fang Jianguo.
Zhang Wu looked at the cauldron. In the churning cauldron was boiling the rhodiola rosea that Fang Jianguo led his men to find. It was only with the help of these potions that the soldiers overcame altitude sickness and successfully crossed the Qilian Mountains.
As long as you cross the Qilian Mountains, you can immediately attack Dadou Bagou!
Zhang Wu went to great lengths to cross the Qilian Mountains in order to attack Dadou Valley from the rear!
Dadou Bagou, as the name suggests, looks like a big funnel opening in the Qilian Mountains.
The funnel on the Tubo side is very big, and the outlet of the funnel is on the Tang side.
Therefore, as long as Datang controlled the exit of the funnel, it could firmly control this canyon.
The camp of the Tang army was built against the exit of the canyon. If they attacked from the west side of the river, the Tibetan army could rely on the obstruction of the military camp and the river to firmly hold the military camp.
But they never expected that the Tang army would go to all the trouble to fight across the Qilian Mountains!
Zhang Wu looked at the soldiers who had regained their vitality and ordered everyone to take medicine and eat immediately, preparing to raid the Tibetan military camp at night!
Zhang Wu smiled slightly. When the Tang army withdrew from the Dadou Bago military camp, they left a big "gift" for the Tibetan army!
The person guarding Dadou Bugu is Shang Qixin'er's son Daize.
After the last failure in Wuwei City, Dai Ze lost his courage and glory.
Guarding Dadou Bugu was a simple task, but Dai Ze left the guarding task to his lieutenant and spent the whole day drinking in the barracks.
It seems that only when you are drunk can you forget that humiliating defeat.
Dai Ze had been drinking for a whole day. He was drowsy and woke up from the urge to urinate. He just stood up from the bed when he suddenly heard a noise outside the tent.
Now Dai Ze is sober from the wine. Could it be that Xiao Ying is in trouble?
He picked up his saber and rushed out of the military camp, seeing the soldiers running around in panic.
What exactly happened here?
Dai Ze found that even his own soldiers were missing, and he realized that something was wrong.
I only saw flames shooting into the sky everywhere. Was there a fire?
Dai Ze pulled the soldier and asked, "What's going on!?"
"General, General...General! It's the Tang Army! The Tang Army has robbed the camp!"
Dai Ze felt as if he was dreaming. He pinched his arm hard to make sure it was not a dream.
He asked again: "Why did the Tang army rob the camp? Aren't we in a camp along the river? Did the Tang army swim over and set fire to it?"
The soldier didn't know what was going on, he just expressed fear that he didn't know.
Dai Ze kicked the soldier away, and at this time the leader of his soldiers hurried over.
"General! The Tang army came from the other side of the canyon!"
The other half of the canyon?
Dai Ze only felt that his hands and feet were cold. When he first occupied the camp, Dai Ze ordered the removal of the fence facing the canyon in order to prepare for attacks from the Hexi direction.
Now the Tang army actually crossed the Qilian Mountains and entered the camp to set fire to it. How were they going to defend it now?
Dai Ze gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my order, everyone gather at the river!"
The current plan is to collect the defeated troops first and then wait until daybreak.
But Dai Ze had just given the order. After a loud noise, he saw a terrifying flame coming out from under his tent, and a huge shock wave directly lifted him out.
Dai Ze fainted directly, and the leader of the personal guards beside him was even worse, being blown to pieces!
There were several more explosions, and now the entire Tibetan camp fell into complete chaos.
The soldiers waved their weapons at their companions, just for the chance to escape from the camp.
Zhang Wu smiled and looked at the camp with flames blazing into the sky. These explosives were all left behind by the Tang army when they evacuated the camp.
Yuchi Xin expected that the Tibetan army was reluctant to give up these ready-made camps and would definitely live in them.
Now it really worked. Although the explosions were not very powerful, they completely defeated the Tibetan people's will to fight.
By daybreak, the river next to the camp was filled with the corpses of Tibetan soldiers.
The Tang army conducted an orderly inventory of the Tubo barracks and arrested several surviving officers who were well-dressed.
When a basin of cold water was poured on Dai Ze's face, he saw Zhang Wu's face.
"You! Guangwu!"
Dai Ze recovered his memory. Isn't this the Tang monk who deceived him together with Monk Guangde?
No! He is from King Jianning!
Looking at Zhang Wu's newly grown hair, Dai Ze wanted to bite his gums.
But he soon discovered that his hands were tied behind his back, and there were two Tang Army soldiers standing behind him.
Dai Ze looked around in despair. His lieutenant general and his men were all captured by the Tang army, and the camp was lost!
Dai Ze couldn't wait to faint again! The Battle of Valley is the main route for the Tibetan army to retreat!
If he knew that if the battle was lost, the Tubo army would not need the Tang army to fight, and he would have collapsed.
"You are the prince of Dalun, right? You finally caught a big fish this time."
Zhang Wu showed a cunning smile, then walked up to Dai Ze and said:
"We Han people have a saying, which is that people are the knife and fish, and I am the fish and meat. Before, I was the fish and meat on your chopping board, but I didn't expect that today I would be the knife."
"It's a rare fate that we can meet again on the battlefield. Forget it, I'll let you go."
Dai Ze looked at Zhang Wu in surprise, this Han man actually let him go?
He clearly knew that he was the son of Tubo's great theory, but he actually wanted to let himself go!?
Is he crazy?
Zhang Wu smiled and said: "What? If I ask you to leave, are you going to die with them?"
He only saw Zhang Wu waving his hand, and one of Dai Ze's centurions was dragged out. Dai Ze heard the sound of a knife and an axe, and then a bloody head was brought in.
I don't want to die!
Dai Ze was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he quickly said: "I'm going! I'm going!"
Dai Ze just walked to the entrance of the military camp, and Zhang Wu said again: "Wait a minute."
Is he going to regret it?
Dai Ze wanted to cry, but he heard Zhang Wu say:
"The journey is long, give him a horse."
Dai Ze never expected that this Han officer would let him go and give him a horse?
Waiting until Dai Ze left the military camp, Zhang Wu said with a smile:
"I'm just afraid that if he doesn't leave, when he comes back, the news that Dadou Bugu is missing will be hidden."
Shang Qixin'er's army here has just arrived at Wuwei City. According to the original plan, Shang Qixin'er is preparing to besiege the city in Zhangye.
He felt uneasy for no reason. Is there any omission in his plan?
At this moment, Dongri Malang rushed in:
"Big talk! Big talk!"
Shang Qixin'er immediately scolded: "Speak well, why are you panicking!"
Dongri Malang stammered: "Big talk! The army guarding Dadou Bagou has been completely wiped out!"
"What!"
Shang Qixin'er stood up immediately!
He then said angrily: "Where did you hear these monstrous words?"
Dongri Malang said: "It's the news from the soldiers who were defeated in Dadou Bago!"
Shang Qixin'er was worthy of being a hero of the generation. He quickly regained his composure and said: "Come here! Go and kill all those soldiers for me!"
"What?"
Dongri Malang thought he heard wrongly, and Shang Qixin'er said angrily: "These guys who disturb the morale of the army! Shouldn't they be killed?"
"Send my order again! The battle has not been lost! These are the spies of the Tang army who deliberately disturbed the morale of our army!"
Dongri Malang immediately understood that the 35,000-strong army would be defeated on its own without the Tang army attacking if they lost their food route and return route while fighting alone in Hexi.
Dongri Malang was about to carry out Shang Qi Xin'er's order. He had just rushed to the gate of the military camp and was about to order the soldiers to hunt down the defeated troops in Da Dou Bagu.
At this moment, Dongri Malang suddenly saw a familiar person riding a horse and rushing towards the military camp.
Daize!
Dongri Malang naturally knew the heir to this great theory, and he was suddenly stunned. If he followed Shang Qixin'er's order, Dai Ze would also be a "defeated soldier" who needed to be killed.
But he killed Dai Ze, can Shang Qixin'er forgive him?
Just when Dongri Malang was in a daze, Dai Ze, who looked like a defeated soldier, rushed into the camp.
"General Daize! It's General Daize!"
"Isn't General Daize guarding the valley of Dadou?"
"What they said is true! Dadou Bugu is lost!"
"What! Dadou lost the grain, how can we transport our grain and grass in? How can we go back?"
Oops!
Dongri Malang knew he was wrong, but Dai Ze had already run all the way through the entire military camp.
More and more people saw Dai Ze’s miserable appearance. Malang’s hands and feet were cold in winter. It was over, it was over!
Shang Qixin'er, who was feeling restless, suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the tent.
"Father's theory! Father's theory! The great battle to pull out the valley is an ambush by the Tang army!"
I saw Dai Ze rushing into the tent, his face covered with snot and tears.
Shang Qixin'er quickly pulled him and said, "Dadou Bugu is really lost?"
"Lost! The Tang army crossed the Qilian Mountains and attacked the camp from the other side at night!"
Shang Qixin'er suddenly realized something. He pointed at Dai Ze tremblingly and said, "How did you escape? How did you enter the military camp?"
"I? Tang Jun gave me a horse to let me back. I came in through the main entrance of the camp."
Shang Qi'er felt dizzy. He drew out his sword and pierced Dai Ze's heart with one sword.
"Shu Zi harmed my fifty thousand army!"
Outside the military camp, the noise became louder and louder.
At this moment, Gar rushed into the camp with a gray face.
He glanced at Daize's body on the ground and said to Shang Qixin'er regardless of etiquette:
"Big talk, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, the cavalry is here!"
Shang Qixin'er was thinking about how to calm down the chaos caused by Dai Ze, and said impatiently:
"Isn't there a resistance horse outside the camp? Can't you hold on even if you don't get out?"
Gar took a breath and said: "Big talk! It's not light cavalry, it's armored heavy cavalry!"
"What!"
Shang Qixin'er immediately stood up. He only saw the camp in complete chaos, and could hear the heavy sound of horse hooves in the distance.
In the hot air balloon rising in Zhangye City, Wan Xiangjun saw a black torrent, which plunged straight into the Tubo camp!
Not far away, Yu Chixin's army also raised its flag and attacked!
