Yang Peng looked at the Tubo military camp carefully, thought for a moment, and murmured: "How can you be willing to give up if you don't give it a try!" He turned to Wang Kai and said, "Wang Kai," Wang Kai responded, and immediately led more than a hundred black-clothed and masked men.
The secret guards without armor walked quietly towards the camp gate. When they arrived nearby, they stopped. The twelve secret guards were divided into two groups. They climbed over the fence from the darker areas on the left and right sides of the camp gate and entered inside. They all looked like they were in the dark night.
Like a civet cat in action, even if you stare at it, you can only feel a black shadow fleeting.
The twelve hidden killers walked gently towards the twelve sentries by the camp gate under the cover of shadow. The twelve sentries were divided into two teams, facing each other on the left and right sides of the camp gate. At the same time, the ones beside them
There were two sentries on each of the two sentry towers and the corridor above the camp gate. Twelve secret guards came quietly behind the twelve sentries, suddenly jumped out of the darkness, covered the sentry's mouth and nose with his left hand, and covered the sentry's mouth and nose with his right hand.
The dagger suddenly cut the sentry's throat, and the twelve sentries died simultaneously. Then the twelve secret guards dragged the bodies of the twelve Shaobings into the darkness on both sides.
A sentry on the sentry tower heard some strange noises below, so he stretched his head and looked down, but the twelve sentries who were supposed to be below were missing. He couldn't help being surprised, and quickly called his companion: "Hey, you
Come and see where those guys below have gone?" Another sentry came over and stretched his head to look down. Sure enough, those sentries were missing. He couldn't help cursing: "These stupid donkeys must have gone to be lazy.
Got it!"
At this time, both sentries felt as if someone was climbing up the sentry tower, and thought it was one of the missing sentries below. At this moment, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound in the air, and the two sentries were still
Before I could react, I saw the two sentries on the corridor below collapse at the same time. I couldn't help but be shocked. A terrible thought immediately came to my mind. At this moment, a black figure suddenly jumped up from the stairs in the middle of the sentry tower.
Shadow, swish, swish slashed the throats of the two men respectively, and both of them died before they could even scream. At the same time, the sentry on the sentry tower opposite was also killed using the same method.
Lost.
A secret guard poked his head out of the sentry tower and made a gesture to the people below. The secret guards guarding below immediately ran to the camp gate and opened it. Wang Kai immediately led all the secret guards to rush up and removed the horses in front of the camp gate.
Rushed into the military camp, divided into several teams and dispersed.
Seeing that Wang Kai and the others had succeeded, Yang Peng immediately led his army and rushed forward. The majestic killing sound suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the night in an instant. Eighty thousand troops poured into the military camp like a tide, and their iron hooves trampled directly over the tents.
, the tent and the awakened Tibetan soldiers inside were trampled into mud; the infantry rushed into the tent, and the Tubo army was panicking. Many of them were still naked.
.
At the same time, flames burst out in the forage yards and grain farms, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of huge torches were formed. The flames soaring into the sky turned the night into day; and suddenly there was the rumble of horse hooves from the stables.
The sound turned out to be tens of thousands of war horses surrounding the stables, which were frightened and rushed out. Behind them, some black figures could be seen driving the horses. This made the military camp even more chaotic.
Zanbutai hurriedly ran out of the tent with a big sword, and saw that the entire military camp was in chaos, with countless Yanyun troops galloping around, while his own soldiers were running around in panic like chickens and ducks that had exploded their nests, and most of them were still alive.
Before they had time to put on their clothes, they saw one after another falling under the iron hoofs of Yan Yunjun's blades, screaming and shouting. "This, this, how could this happen?" Zan Bu Tai shouted in disbelief. He had reached this moment.
I thought that the Yanyun Army would launch an attack tomorrow! In fact, it was not just him, but all the Tubo soldiers had this idea. In their subconscious, King Yan was a terrible enemy and an unparalleled strong man.
The enemy said in public that he would come to take revenge tomorrow, so he would definitely come back to attack tomorrow. How could he launch a surprise attack tonight?
This is actually a kind of mindset. Most people will not doubt the words of people they are afraid of. They will have a subconscious mind that such a powerful enemy will not lie to them. Chen Xiao's daytime
The reason why I went to the Tubo military camp to talk nonsense at that time was actually that the oath was only a secondary purpose. The main purpose was to set a trap for the enemy. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to completely annihilate this huge enemy force.
Simple things, even if they are successfully annihilated, I'm afraid there will be a huge price to pay.
When Zanbutai was in a daze, he suddenly saw a group of extremely fierce warriors rushing towards him. The leader was the King of Yan whom he had seen during the day. At this time, he was galloping with an iron horse and a leaping horse in hand, and his murderous intent was astonishing.
Zanbutai hurriedly retreated, and the soldiers around him immediately rushed to meet him.
Yang Peng and his dozens of hidden killers crashed into the middle of the soldiers. Many of the soldiers were knocked away by the strong impact. At the same time, the horse sword flew up and down, killing the soldiers until their corpses were covered with blood. Yang Peng
After breaking through the barriers of the soldiers and rushing in front of Zanbutai, Yang Peng stabbed Zanbutai with his sword. At the moment of death, Zanbutai could not care less about the general's face and hurriedly shouted on the spot.
Roll, narrowly escaping Yang Peng's blow and rolled into the tent. Yang Peng frowned and rushed into the tent, only to see Zan Butai cut the opposite tent with a waist knife, and his head
Yang Peng turned away with his front legs on the ground. Yang Peng cursed and immediately turned his horse's head and ran out of the tent. At this time, the secret guards were killing the soldiers. The soldiers were rolling around and running around, but they were stabbed by Hengdao.
One by one, they were chopped to the ground, and those who were lucky enough to escape into the darkness.
Yang Peng rode his horse to the back of the tent, but Zanbutai was nowhere to be seen. Looking around, he only saw Tibetans chasing and killing people everywhere in the chaotic tent, but there was no trace of Zanbutai.
The Tibetan soldiers who luckily escaped from the military camp had no time to take a breath when they encountered Yan Yun's army coming up from two wings. They were so frightened that they rolled and crawled in all directions. They really only regretted that they had lost two legs.
Yanyun's army pursued them from all sides, with screams, shouts, the sound of horse hooves, and the sound of slashing and killing echoing in the night sky.
…
The next morning, when the sun shone on the earth, the melee that lasted all night finally ended. White smoke and black smoke were rising in many places in the military camp. The originally neat military camp became a mess, and many fences collapsed.
, countless tents were burned, and countless tents were trampled down at the same time; corpses were strewn on the ground, and blood turned the original yellow ground into dark brown. The air was filled with a strong smell of burnt and blood, and groups of people
The Tibetan prisoners shook their heads and gathered at the concentration point under the escort of the Yanyun Army. At the same time, many Yanyun soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, cleaning up corpses, and carrying trophies.
The wasteland outside the military camp was also a miserable scene littered with corpses. Those Tibetan soldiers who escaped from the military camp last night were attacked by two wings of Yanyun troops outside the military camp. Seventy-eight out of ten died, and not many could escape.
Yang Peng and more than a hundred secret guards immediately stood on a hill near the military camp and looked at the scene in front of them.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from above and below. Yang Peng followed the sound and saw the stunningly beautiful Yang Erya in military uniform, leading a dozen female guards. They galloped to Yang Peng's face, reined in the horse, and Yang Erya
Ya clasped her fists in excitement and said: "Brother, the enemy army was completely wiped out, and less than ten thousand people fled westward into the deep mountains and forests! In addition, we seized countless baggage materials in the Tubo military camp and countless looted by them.
property!"
Yang Peng nodded and asked, "Have you caught Mrs. Zanbu?"
Yang Erya's excited look disappeared, he frowned and shook his head, "No! I suspect he may have escaped into the deep mountains and forests!" Yang Peng thought of what happened last night and couldn't help but cursed: "This bastard is not good at fighting.
Yes, he has a way of escaping, just like a mouse!"
At this time, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats again at the foot of the mountain. It turned out that Xuanzan was coming at full speed with a few officers. When he came to Yang Peng, he reined in his horse, cupped his fists and said, "King Yan!" Yang Peng said, "If it weren't for you Nine
The legion fought tooth and nail to defend Xizhou, and it is impossible for our army to achieve today's great victory! Now that the Tibetan army has collapsed, the task of recovering the states and counties in the west will be completed by your ninth legion!" Tianyou and several of his officers were grateful.
, Tianyou bowed: "Thank you, King Yan!" Then he turned his horse's head and led several officers to run down.
Yang Peng said to Wang Kai again: "Send an order to Shi Liancheng, asking his First Army Corps to go forward and cooperate with the Ninth Army Corps to regain the states and counties in the west!" Wang Kai accepted the promise and rode away.
Later that day, Tianyou led 20,000 soldiers of the Ninth Army to leave Xizhou and advance to the west. At the same time, the First Army led by Shi Liancheng cooperated with the Ninth Army. The First Army did not want to regain any place first.
This honor belongs only to the Ninth Legion.
As the main force of Tibet had collapsed, the news spread to the states and counties in the west. The Tibetan soldiers who stayed behind were frightened and fled in panic before the Yanyun army arrived. And those magistrates, magistrates and other officials who had surrendered to Tibet before
He impatiently raised the Flying Tiger Flag to abandon darkness and turn to the light. In just three days, all previously occupied prefectures and counties were recovered.
Tubo Qingtang City, located near the current Qinghai Lake and more than 100 miles west of Xining Prefecture, was the most important city in Tubo close to Xixia and Song Dynasty at that time. It was stationed with 100,000 troops. The commander was named Zanpu, who was the leader of Tubo.
The royal family is in his sixties, tall, and has a slim appearance. He is also a famous general of Tubo.
On this day, Zanpu was walking in the garden of General Zanbu's mansion. Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly reported: "General, General Zanbu's envoy is here. All urgent military affairs must be reported to the general!"
When Zamp heard that it was an urgent military matter, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately walked towards the front hall. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw a dusty officer standing in the hall. As soon as the officer saw Zamp, he immediately bowed: "
This servant pays homage to the general!" Then he held up the letter with both hands and presented it to Zamp: "This is a letter written by our general!"
Zanpu took the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and read it. His expression suddenly became solemn, and he raised his head and asked the officer in front of him: "The king of Yan, Yang Peng, led an army to Xizhou. Is this true?
"?" The officer said: "It's absolutely true! Please send reinforcements quickly, general!" Zanpu did not answer immediately. He walked a few steps with the letter in his hands behind his back, turned around and said: "The letter said that King Yan only led the army
200,000 reinforcements have arrived. Isn't it possible that General Yizanbu's troops can't resist them?" The officer quickly said: "The general doesn't know what he knows. The Yanyun Army's combat power is very terrifying. Even the Ninth Army Corps, which ranks at the bottom, can't resist it."
We suffered a lot and suffered heavy losses! But the 200,000 troops led by King Yan are the most elite direct legion and the first legion. Although it is 200,000, we must deal with them with 400,000!..."
When Zamp heard this, he was very surprised and said with a smile: "Such words are really unbelievable! I don't believe there is such a powerful army in the world!"
The officer quickly said: "We didn't believe it at first, but after the battle with the Yanyun Army, we can't believe it anymore!" Then he urged: "My general and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are in a dangerous situation. Please hurry up, general."
Send a large army to support us, I’m afraid it will be too late!”
Zanpu walked back and forth a few more steps, stopped, and said to the officer: "My one hundred thousand army is responsible for guarding Qingtang. Without your majesty's order, even I cannot mobilize it!..." The officer listened to this.
He meant that he no longer planned to send reinforcements, and immediately became anxious: "General, the matter is extremely urgent. General, please don't stick to the rules! Otherwise, once my army of hundreds of thousands is overturned, this, this..."
Zanpu also felt that the matter was a bit serious. He thought about it and said, "Let's do this. I will order the army to prepare, and at the same time I will send people to Luoche to ask for orders from His Majesty the Emperor! As soon as the Emperor's order comes, I will send out the army immediately..."
The officer frowned and said, "But..."
Zan Pu waved his hand, "Don't worry too much! Zan Bu Tai's army of more than 200,000 people is guarding it, and Liang Yanyun's army can't do anything to them!" The officer felt that what Zan Pu said was reasonable, and he also understood that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, there would be no hope.
Well out, so I responded.
Zamp immediately wrote a letter, stamped it with the gold seal of his general, sealed it, and then called the herald, handed the letter to him, and ordered him to immediately send it to Luoche and hand it over to His Majesty (Luoche, which is now
Lhasa, Luoche is the ancient name. The herald promised and ran down. Then Zanpu summoned the four most important generals under his command and ordered them to prepare for the departure immediately. The four generals took the order and left.
In the next three days, news came one after another from the border. It turned out that the troops who originally guarded Lanzhou and other places had escaped. Various rumors were flying all over the sky, which made Zampu confused, but he still didn't believe it.
Zanbutai's army of hundreds of thousands would be defeated in such a short period of time.
Three days later, Zanpu was still waiting for news from Luoche. No news came from Luoche, but Zanbutai and others suddenly arrived. Zanpu was surprised, and hurriedly went out to greet him, only to see Zanbutai and others.
With his clothes in rags and his face covered, he looked like a beggar! Zanpu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with the general? How did he end up like this?" Zanpu was so ashamed that he let out a long sigh.
, but remained silent.
Zanpu felt that this was not the place to talk at the gate, so he immediately ordered the soldiers around him to lead Zanbutai's soldiers to the backyard. He then invited Zanbutai and Duosang to enter the hall. The guests and hosts sat down and were escorted by soldiers.
When the tea was served, Zanbutai and Duosang, who were already so thirsty that their throats were smoking, ignored their image, grabbed the tea bowl and drank it in big gulps, but they still looked very thirsty. Seeing this, Zanpu simply ordered his soldiers to take it.
Two big teapots came and were placed in front of the two of them. They didn't even bother to pour the tea into the tea bowls, so they picked up the teapot and slurped at the spout. After a long while, the two put down the teapot and vomited for a long time.
Take a breath.
Zanpu felt that he was too rude just now. He stood up and said shyly: "How rude!" Zanpu waved his hand, "General, you don't have to be polite. But shouldn't the general be under Xizhou City? Why did he come here?
Here?" Then his heart moved, and he asked in an unbelievable tone: "Could it be, could it be..."
Zanbu was so ashamed that he didn't even dare to face Zanpu. Then he cursed angrily: "That King Yan is really as cunning as a fox! We have been fooled by him!"
He told the story of the attack, and then how he escaped into the deep mountains and forests, and how he escaped into Tubo territory. Finally, he sighed and said with great sadness and anger: "An army of three hundred thousand, an army of three hundred thousand, can we...
Only a few hundred of us are the only ones who have returned!" His statement is not entirely correct. In fact, the Tibetan army that fled back from Lanzhou and other places totaled almost 5,000 people, but only the Tibetan army that marched to Xizhou remained.
There are hundreds of them.
That night the army collapsed, and almost ten thousand people fled into the high mountains between Tonghui Pass and Gaolan Mountain. The Tubo army ran in panic and did not choose the road. As a result, most of them got lost in the high mountains. Only Zanbutai and a few hundred others were lucky.
He escaped from the mountains and then fled to Qingtang.
After listening to what Zanbutai said, Zanpu didn't say anything for a long time. His heart was full of shock and disbelief. If Zanbutai hadn't been right in front of him, he still wouldn't be able to believe it. "I really don't know what to say.
..., I really can’t believe that in just a few days, hundreds of thousands of troops fell apart! Is Yan Yun’s army really that strong?”
Zan Bu was dejected and did not speak; Duosang said: "The Yanyun Army is known as the elite in the world, and it is truly well-deserved! The Ninth Army, which ranked last, made us suffer a lot, and the general of the Ninth Army, Chen Jie,
, single-handedly killed my entire army! To be honest, if Chen Jie hadn't been seriously injured and died, we would have retreated at that time! Hey, if that were the case, maybe there wouldn't be such a miserable takeover. It's really
Things are unpredictable!"
Zamp frowned.
Duosang continued: "In fact, after the enemy troops broke into the camp, we also carried out several counterattacks. However, the opponents were too powerful. Our counterattacks were defeated by their indestructible front as soon as we organized them, and finally collapsed completely.
I can't deal with it anymore! I heard the legend of Yan Yunjun before, but I just thought it was something that boring people spread rumors. However, after fighting with them with real swords and guns, I found that some parts of the rumors were not enough to show.
How terrible they are!”
Zamp was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said: "You two are already very tired, so let's take a good rest first." Then he called the soldiers and ordered them to take them down to rest. The two stood up and faced Zamp.
After bowing, he followed the soldiers down.
Zanpu thought for a moment, and immediately called the herald, ordering all the troops to stand ready, but also ordered all the troops not to act rashly, even if the Yanyun army took the initiative to provoke, they must not act rashly, and the offenders would be killed even if they won. Then Zanpu sent out another
Messenger, convey the latest situation to Luxue.
On the same day, an order came from Luoxue, ordering Zanpu to lead an army to Qinfeng Road to support Zanputai. This was obviously in response to Zanpu's previous request. Now that things have changed, it is obviously out of time. Zanpu did not carry out this order.
, and continued to wait for new orders in terms of logic. Soon after, another order came, ordering Zanpu to be on guard, and told Zanpu that 100,000 reinforcements were gathering here. At the same time, the imperial envoy had already set off to Qinfeng Road to prepare for the battle with Yan Yun.
In addition to these, he also ordered Zanpu to arrest Zanbutai and Duosang on the spot and escort them back to Luoche to await sanctions.
A few days later, the imperial envoy came to Qingtang, met with Zanpu, and asked: "What actions has the Yanyun army taken these days?" Zanpu said: "The army gathered at the border, but did not launch an attack! Unexpectedly,
They are still waiting for the logistics!" The imperial envoy frowned and felt very heavy. This imperial envoy was also a member of the royal family, named Zambala, and was one of the few civil servants in Tubo who was proficient in Chinese culture.
Zamp sighed, "I don't understand why the Han people who have always been cowardly suddenly became so fierce?"
Zambala sneered: "Cowardice? Where do you really start talking about this? In fact, you don't understand them. They can be said to be the most cruel people in the world. Because of this, Confucianism and Taoism were developed to curb them.
However, Yan Yun completely independent of Confucianism and Taoism, especially Confucianism, and deliberately stimulated the cruel nature in their blood. This is like opening the cage of a ferocious beast, and the ferocious beast escaped, and also seduced
Let this ferocious beast pounce on its food! That’s why the Yanyun army you are facing is so terrifying! Without the restraints of Confucianism, I really don’t know how much damage Yanyun will cause to the world! Hey!”
Zanpu laughed and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is too mysterious!"
"Xuan? Huh, you must also know what happened during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains. Don't you think that the Han people at that time were completely different from the Han people now? The Han people at that time were extremely murderous and cruel, and did not take their own lives seriously.
They don't take other people's lives seriously, but today's Han people seem to be very docile. Why is that?" Zan Pu frowned. Zan Bala said: "This is all the result of Confucianism!"
The two were silent for a moment, then Zamp asked: "My lord, are you going here to ask for peace?"
Zambara nodded, "Of course, we have no enmity with Yan Yun, so there is no need to fight to the death!" After a pause, "Even if we have to use troops against Yan Yun, we must not rush in front! Then Xixia General Qin Fenglu
They really have bad intentions when they promise us, and they want to attract trouble so that we can share the pressure for them. We can't fall for this trick and make wedding clothes for others!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
