Yang Peng suddenly said: "Tubo, will Tubo send troops at this time?"
Yang Erya wanted to speak, but held back and looked at Han Bing aside. In her heart, since Sister Han Bing was here, she should not talk too much! Han Bing thought: "The greatest possibility of the Tubo people is
They are sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, but they are not sure. They may also think that the Khitan Kingdom and Xixia have joined forces and are powerful, and they immediately send troops!" Yang Peng frowned, and suddenly felt that there was a very bad thing in this era, that is
The efficiency and timeliness of intelligence acquisition seriously affects our decision-making, deployment, and strategies. In fact, to a large extent, we are gambling! Although our side has spies hiding in Tubo, it may be difficult to obtain accurate intelligence in a short period of time.
, but the military situation is raging, and many things must be planned and decided now. If we wait until the exact information is received before making decisions, I am afraid it will be too late!
If it is judged that Tubo will not send troops, then there is nothing to do. If it is judged that Tubo will send troops, then a troop should be sent from Yanmen Pass to support Qinfeng Road. This is naturally risky. If the Khitans do not really retreat, Yanmen Pass will be mobilized
Removing a single force will definitely put Yanmen Pass in danger, so we cannot divide our forces unless it is absolutely necessary. This depends on the judgment of whether Tibet will send troops. Some people may say that we can mobilize troops from other directions for support.
But don't forget the issue of food and grass. Due to the lack of food and grass on Yanyun's side, it is impossible to mobilize troops from other directions. We can only mobilize troops from Yanmen.
Han Bing said: "Brother, don't worry too much. Our envoy must have arrived in Dali, and Dali will definitely send troops to contain Tubo! Besides, we have the eighth and ninth legions on Qinfeng Road, with a total of 120,000 troops. With their
The strength should be able to resist the possible invasion of the Tibetans!"
Yang Peng nodded slowly, looked up into the distance, and frowned tightly. He believed that Dali would send troops, but how effective could Dali's army be? If he were the Tubo Emperor, he only needed to
If 20,000 soldiers and horses are deployed in the Daxue Mountain, then Dali will not achieve any results even if he devotes all the strength of the country to attack northward, and the main force of Tubo can still attack Qinfeng Road. Once Tubo sends troops, whether it can hold Qinfeng Road depends on its own side.
Those two legions, Dali is probably unreliable.
The sight turned to the Tubo capital. A harmonious banquet had just ended in the Tubo palace. The Tubo emperor personally sent Li Qingxia out of the palace. After Li Qingxia disappeared into the night, he led several important ministers around him back.
In the main hall.
The emperor and his ministers sat down, and the emperor glanced at the ministers and asked: "What do you think of Xixia's suggestions?"
The general Zanbu said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity given by the Buddha! The Khitans and Xixia people are fighting fiercely with Yanyun. We can take the opportunity to send troops to avenge our previous shame!"
Zambala said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Wasn't it also a great opportunity before, but the result was very unexpected! At that time, Yanyun had almost no defense against us. Even so, now Yanyun has stationed 120,000 troops on Qinfeng Road. If we rashly
If we send troops, I'm afraid the result will be even worse than it was then!"
Zanbutai was very unhappy when he heard Zambala mention the last defeat. He looked at Zambala and said angrily: "The two situations were completely different! In fact, last time, if King Yan hadn't suddenly led an elite group to fight,
If the cavalry came for reinforcements, our army would have already broken through Qinfeng Road. However, it is impossible for them to come for reinforcements this time. According to reliable intelligence, Yanyun is short of food and grass, and all the food and grass has been transported to Yanmen Pass. Their troops in other directions cannot be mobilized at all.
However, the troops at Yanmen Pass were unable to move under the pressure of the Khitan army. Now is a great opportunity to send troops to Yanyun. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that you will never have such a good opportunity! If Yanyun Tiger Wolf does not take the opportunity to attack it
If it is destroyed, how can we, Tubo, have peace?"
Zanbutai's words made the emperor and his ministers nod their heads. The emperor said: "General, you are right! This is indeed a great opportunity for me! I decided to take this opportunity to mobilize 400,000 troops from various ministries to attack Qin Feng Road! General, as the general of the army, for
I will expand the territory of Tubo!" Tai Zanbu agreed happily.
Li Qingxia and her party returned to the hotel, and Li Qingxia was sitting alone at her desk, lost in thought. At this moment, a close aide ran in, came behind Li Qingxia, bowed and whispered: "Princess, I just praised you."
General Bu sent someone to send a message, saying that the Tibetan Emperor has decided to attack Yanyun Qinfeng Road with an army of 400,000!" Li Qingxia looked surprised, "Great! As soon as Tubo sends troops, the overall situation is under our control.
!" He turned to his confidant and said, "Immediately tell him, we will rush to the Song Dynasty tomorrow. I want to add more fire!" "Yes!"
The Tubo Emperor made up his mind to pass on the imperial edict, so the armies of various ministries began to assemble, and Tubo sharpened its sword and prepared to attack Yan Yun.
The scouts of the Yanyun Army flew into Xining Prefecture. Zhou Dayong, the commander of the Ninth Army Corps, received the news and hurried to the hall. As soon as the dusty scout saw Zhou Dayong, he knelt down and reported: "General,
Tubo has assembled an army of 400,000, with Zan Butai as its commander, and is preparing to attack Qin Feng Road!" Zhou Dayong smiled, "Good guy, the Tubo people are not willing to be lonely! Okay, come on! This general's Qinglong Yanyue Sword has not drank blood for a long time.
Yes!" Then he said to the scout: "Rush to Jishi Fortress immediately and inform General Si Xingfang of this situation!" The scout agreed and ran down.
Zhou Dayong called the officers of the personal army and ordered them to send orders to the generals of all armies to come to the commander's mansion to discuss matters. The officers took the order and left.
Almost at the same time, various border counties and towns were in chaos. People who had learned about the imminent invasion of Tibet fled to the interior in a hurry with their families. The originally prosperous border counties and towns were in chaos and panic.
Soon after, all the residents fled, and the counties and towns became a mess again, silent, and even the sounds of dogs barking and cocks crowing disappeared without a trace.
The Yanyun Army withdrew all the troops scattered in various small fortresses on the border, preparing to rely on Xining and Jishi Fortress to stop the enemy. Various combat equipment and materials were transported to the city wall, and the armies were ready; at the same time, the scouts
They all spilled out, and the horse galloped away.
Two days later, it had become extremely quiet outside the city. The fleeing people had all fled into the interior. There was not even a single person or poultry or livestock left outside the city. It felt like entering a wild world as soon as you left the city. It was too quiet.
The west wind blows, causing the treetops to sway and dance, the belts of the soldiers are also blown, the war flags are flapping, the red tassels are swaying with the wind, the sky is densely covered with clouds, and from time to time bright lightning appears in the clouds.
There was a loud boom, shaking the heaven and earth, making everything in the world shine brightly, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to come.
Da da da da..., the rapid sound of horse hoofs came from the distance, which was very harsh in this silent world. The soldiers on the city wall followed the sound and saw a fast horse galloping from the distance.
They are our own scout cavalry.
The scout galloped to the city gate and reined in his horse. The horse stood up neighing, and followed the scout and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, I have an urgent military situation!"
The city gate opened immediately, and the scouts rushed in. Then the scouts appeared in front of Zhou Dayong, kneeling and reporting: "General Qi, the Tibetan army has crossed the border and is heading towards Xining and Jishi Fortress in two directions!" Zhou Dayong!
Calmly, he said to the scout: "Let's explore again!" The scout promised and ran down. The sound of rapid horse hooves sounded again, and the scout was seen galloping out of the city.
Kah! There was a sudden loud noise in the sky, filling the whole world, making people's eardrums numb. At the same time, a flash of white light illuminated the city and Yanyun's soldiers in a white light. Then the sky suddenly darkened, followed by a rustling sound.
There was a loud noise, and heavy rain fell from the sky. The sight that was originally good suddenly became very hazy. The soldiers standing on the city wall could hardly see the scene a few steps away. The water from the sky poured down, and countless creeks appeared instantly.
On the ground outside the city, there is gurgling water on the city wall, and the city gate tower is surrounded by a splashing curtain of water. Every soldier is already in full bloom.
After a while, the rain became heavier, and the soldiers suddenly saw a scout running to the city gate. Due to the heavy rain, the sound of horse hooves could not be heard at all. The scout suddenly reined in his horse and opened his arms toward the city wall.
After several mouthfuls, the people on the city wall did not hear any sound. The city gate opened and the scouts rushed in. After a while, the scouts rushed to Zhou Dayong, knelt down on one knee, and shouted loudly: "General Qi, the enemy is here."
We are only more than twenty miles away from the city!" Zhou Dayong felt a little surprised and murmured: "It's so fast!" He glanced at the scout and said, "Let's explore again!" The scout responded and ran down, and then he saw the scout.
The figure disappeared into the heavy rain.
Zhou Dayong was worried that the Tibetan army would take advantage of the heavy rain and the poor visibility to attack the city, so he urgently ordered the four gates to strengthen their alerts, and at the same time, he ordered all armies to prepare for battle. He himself stood on the west gate tower with a knife, staring with wide eyes.
Outside the city, we waited for the Tibetan army to arrive.
About half an hour later, the rain had slowed down a lot, and we could already see the scenery several miles away. We saw scouts galloping from a distance, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard amidst the noisy rain.
The sound. A moment later, the scouts rushed into the city, followed them up to the city gate tower, and reported to Zhou Dayong: "General, the Tibetan army suddenly retreated!" Guan Sheng was stunned, thinking that he heard wrong, and hurriedly asked: "What did you say?
What?" The scout repeated: "The Tubo army suddenly retreated! They retreated in a hurry, and many heavy supplies were thrown away!" Zhou Dayong couldn't turn his head for a while, feeling inexplicable.
Then Zhou Dayong frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's a conspiracy of the Tubo people, let's investigate again!" The scout responded and ran out of the city again. Zhou Dayong stood on the city gate tower, frowning, thinking about what the Tubo people were playing.
What tricks?!
Soon after, the scouts came again with news that the Tibetans had all retreated into their own country. Half an hour later, news came from the Jishi Fortress that the Tibetan army that had entered the Jishi Fortress also retreated, also in a hurry.
.Zhou Dayong really couldn't figure out what was going on, so he didn't dare to be careless. He still ordered all the troops to be on tight guard and not to act rashly. At the same time, he sent additional scouts to investigate in all directions to prevent the Tibetans from sneak attacks.
However, a day and a night passed, and nothing amiss was found. On the contrary, definite news was obtained that after the Tibetan army retreated to Qingtang, the main army immediately rushed south, with a very urgent look. Another day passed, and news came.
, it is said that the Dali Kingdom mobilized 200,000 troops from across the country and marched northward, breaking through Tubo's snowy mountain defense line. The frontier threatened the hinterland of Tubo. The Tubo Emperor urgently ordered the Tibetan general Zanbutai to stop attacking Qinfeng Road and rush to the aid of the Snowy Mountains to counterattack the Dali army!
Zhou Dayong waited until now to understand what was going on, and was very surprised by the development of things.
The Dali army's surprise attack on Tubo naturally complied with King Yan's request. They obviously understood the stakes involved, so they tried their best to do so. However, their full assistance was not entirely to maintain their alliance with Yan Yun.
In order to get assistance in the future, according to what the Dali prince Duan Zhichun said: "Now is a great opportunity. The Tubo people transferred heavy troops to Qinfeng Road. Their attention was all on Yan Yun and they did not notice us at all. And
They have always looked down on us. We can take this opportunity to devote all our efforts to capture the Snowy Mountains! If we succeed, our situation in the north of Dali will fundamentally improve. The Tubo people will no longer be able to rely on the Snowy Mountains to invade our Dali.
If you want to invade Dali, you must cross the natural chasm of the Snowy Mountains. From then on, this natural chasm has become our barrier against Tibet!"
However, the combat power of the Tubo army was higher than that of the Dali army, and relying on the natural chasm of the Snowy Mountains, how could the Dali army capture it in an instant even though it was ten times more powerful than the Tubo army? It was also because the Tubo people were too careless to underestimate the enemy. They had no idea at all.
They looked down on the Dali people and neglected to take precautions. Until the Dali elite had already invaded the Tubo military camp, most people had not yet reacted. The Tubo army was frightened by the sudden arrival of the Dali army, but then they were about to
The Dali army was almost driven off the snowy mountains by the Tubo army. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Duan Zhichun led the armored army to arrive. A fierce battle finally crushed the Tubo people's counterattack.
The entire Snow Mountain Fortress was destroyed and captured. The Dali army succeeded in one attack, but suffered heavy losses. The urgent news reached the Tubo Palace, and the court was shocked. The monarchs and ministers no longer cared about fighting the autumn wind of Yanyun, and quickly ordered the army to withdraw and counterattack the Snow Mountain.
.In this way, the danger on Qin Feng Road will be resolved without a fight.
Princess Li Qingxia of Xixia suddenly received the news on her way to the Song Dynasty. She was shocked and couldn't help frowning. She didn't expect that Dali would help Yan Yun, but she always thought that Dali's army was weak. Even if it sent troops, Tubo would be defeated.
She should be able to deal with it, but she didn't expect that Dali made an extraordinary move and actually attacked the extremely important snow mountain fortress in the southeast of Tubo. This completely disrupted Tubo's arrangement, and the Three Kingdoms attack on Yanyun that she had tried her best to promote also failed.
Li Qingxia sighed, but murmured: "It doesn't matter, even without the Tubo Army, we should be able to defeat the Yanyun Army! The Generalissimo must have captured Yinzhou at this moment. As long as Yinzhou is captured, the Yanyun Army will be defeated.
It’s decided!” Turning to look outside the car, his thoughts couldn’t help but fly to Yinzhou, thousands of miles away.
Generalissimo Li Zongdao of Xixia led an army of 300,000 to march into Yinzhou. At the same time, General Li Cunxiao of the Right Wing led his Xueshan Army and tens of thousands of civilian troops to garrison Hongzhou to contain the Yanyun Army under Yang Yanzhao on the Great Wall Ridge.
.
Li Cunxiao stood in front of the sand table, frowning. The intelligence he had received one after another in the past few days made him very confused and uneasy. He always felt that something was wrong. He felt that there did not seem to be many Yanyun troops on the Great Wall Ridge opposite. A herald came in.
, saluted Li Cunxiao and asked: "General, what are your orders?" Li Cunxiao walked up to him and ordered: "You rush to the generalissimo immediately and remind him to be careful!" The herald
He responded and ran down.
Li Cunxiao looked at the Great Wall Ridge on the map and murmured: "Whether there is a problem or not, we will know after a fight!" As soon as he thought of this, he sent an order to the civilian army to defend the city, and all 60,000 Snow Mountain troops gathered.
He personally led the march to Changcheng Ridge.
In half a day, the army arrived at the foot of the Great Wall Ridge. Li Cunxiao personally stepped out and shouted a challenge. However, after shouting for a long time, there was no movement on the opposite side of the Great Wall Ridge. Li Cunxiao felt that something was wrong. He fought fiercely with Yan Yun's army for several times, knowing full well that Yan Yun's army had several fierce battles.
The style of the Yun army was that they would never turn a deaf ear to a challenge and cower away. Li Cunxiao further confirmed his previous judgment. He turned his horse around and returned to the army, saying loudly: "The left-wing army attacks the east side of Changcheng Ridge, and the right-wing army attacks Changcheng Ridge."
On the west side, attack with all your strength!" All the generals agreed in unison.
Then the rumbling war drums sounded loudly, and the 20,000 Snow Mountain Army launched attacks on the left and right sides of Changcheng Ridge! The Snow Mountain Army was very fast, rushing like a tide, and reached the mountainside in the blink of an eye! At this time, rocks were rolling on the mountain.
The wood poured down, and arrows flew like locusts. The Snow Mountain Army rushing in front were knocked down one after another. The Snow Mountain Army's offensive was thwarted, and the Yanyun Army's defense strength was as strong as ever!
Li Cunxiao frowned and thought to himself: "Did I guess wrong?" He looked up at the Great Wall Ridge and saw flags spread out and people looking longingly. The troops were obviously very strong. Li Cunxiao hesitated for a moment and said to a very fierce general next to him.
"Li Chongshan, lead your troops and horses to attack me directly in front!" Li Chongshan promised loudly, then rode down and shouted to his soldiers: "Follow me!" Then he rode towards the front of Changcheng Ridge.
I saw a surge of people in the army, and ten thousand soldiers and horses came out to follow Li Chongshan and ran towards the front of Changcheng Ridge.
Li Chongshan led his soldiers and horses to the foot of the mountain. He looked up and saw excitement and bloodthirsty in the leopard's eyes. He raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me, rush up and kill all the Han people!"
"The soldiers under his command were so excited that they shouted in unison. Li Chongshan galloped towards the mountain, and the 10,000 soldiers under his command also shouted and rushed up. From a distance, it looked like a large group of ants climbing the mountain quickly.
Li Cunxiao stared at them, holding the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand.
Suddenly, I saw rolling rocks flying down from the mountain and hitting the Snow Mountain Army. It was like throwing a few small stones into a huge wave, causing some ripples. That was all. It was impossible to stop the Snow Mountain Army's charging momentum.
It's out of the question. When Li Cunxiao saw this situation, his eyes showed surprise, and he murmured: "It's just as I expected! It's just as I expected! The main force of Yanyun here has been transferred!" Then he became anxious.
He turned around and shouted at the drummer: "Beat the drum with all your strength. Don't stop without my order!" The drummer received the order and beat the drum with all his strength. The loud roar echoed between heaven and earth like rolling thunder.
Li Chongshan and his soldiers had already rushed halfway up the mountain and were quickly approaching the top of the mountain. Sparse rolling stones and trees kept flying down the mountain, mixed with arrows. The Snow Mountain Army continued to suffer casualties, but the momentum of the charge was not hindered at all.
This is certainly because of the extraordinary bravery of the Snow Mountain Army, but also because the defensive strength of the Yanyun Army is very weak. There are obviously not many Yanyun Army in this direction! Li Cunxiao saw the flags displayed on the Great Wall Ridge, but there were not many under the shadow of the flags in the sky.
Yanyun’s soldiers!
Seeing that the Snow Mountain Army was about to rush to the Great Wall Ridge, a roar suddenly came from the ridge. The Xixia Army soldiers were all startled. Then they saw an extraordinary and heroic Yan Yun general galloping down with two spears, followed by five hundred people.
War Cavalry. They suddenly rushed down from the ridge, like a rushing mountain torrent, flowing thousands of miles unstoppably!
Li Chongshan quickly ordered the shield men to come forward and form a shield wall. As soon as the shield wall was arranged, Yan Yun's war cavalry rushed in front of him, roaring angrily, and the horses ran wildly! The brave Snow Mountain Army soldiers could not help but show a hint of panic.
Wow! In the blink of an eye, the torrent of cavalry slammed into the Snow Mountain Army’s shield defense line. A thrilling loud noise was heard, and the Snow Mountain Army’s shield defense line instantly collapsed! Yan Yun’s cavalry rushed into the middle of the Snow Mountain Army,
Moving forward inexorably, the surging horse hooves knocked the Snow Mountain Army away and trampled them. The waving swords and guns raised blood all over the sky. The roar was mixed with the sound of the horse's hooves, and the roar was loud, like a raging tide! The Snow Mountain Army screamed and tried desperately to stop it, but how could they stop it?
The power surged thousands of miles! On the long hillside, I saw the Snow Mountain Army being cut in the middle!
Li Cunxiao suddenly saw such a scene and was startled. After thinking for a moment, he immediately led five thousand snow mountain warriors to meet them.
Ma Kuang led his five hundred war cavalry all the way to the bottom of the mountain. Before he could stop, he saw five thousand snow mountain war cavalry commanded by Li Cunxiao rushing towards him. Ma Kuang had no choice but to lead his war cavalry and roared towards them. Seeing the five hundred swallows,
Yun Zhanqi plunged into the middle of the enemy army, and then saw the two wings of the Snow Mountain War Cavalry quickly surrounding him, surrounding Ma Kuang and his five hundred war cavalry. Ma Kuang led his war cavalry to fight hard, but found that he seemed to
It was as if he was stuck in a huge quagmire. No matter how hard he tried to fight, he could not break through the siege of the snow-capped mountain warriors. He broke through the first and second layers, and then the three and fourth layers surrounded him. He kept killing the enemies with swords and guns, but the enemy in front of him was
It seems that the more they kill, the more they kill! The Yanyun army began to suffer casualties one after another. The brave cavalry fought hard in the enemy's siege and died in battle! The mournful cries of the war horses sounded one after another, and each Yanyun soldier was submerged by the enemy's tide!
At the same time, Li Chongshan on the hillside regrouped his troops and continued to attack the ridge. Rolling stones and wooden arrows kept flying down from the ridge, but there was no way to stop their progress.
As they got closer to the ridge, the roars became louder and louder. They really looked like a group of bloodthirsty beasts.
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
