Chapter 947: People are rare in the snow mountain peaks
Late at night, the lights in the general's mansion were still bright. In addition to Aqige and Tiemo, other generals such as Orger and Zhou Dingshan were also present in the room. The Namtso Valley was simply a dead place, and Tiemo had no intention of attacking Namtso again. The local army
If it cannot be deployed, our numerical advantage cannot be used at all, and the cavalry cannot enter. If we continue to confront the Wusi Tibetans, we will still suffer the loss.
If you really want to pass the Tanggula Pass by another way, there is no way, but Tiemo has been wondering whether to do so. Tanggula Mountain is towering, with an altitude of more than 1,000 feet. And the Namtso Valley can also be entered from the eastern peak of Tanggula Mountain
The peaks on both sides are just that Tanggula Mountain is too high. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and there are many mountains. There is another snow peak across one snow peak. When entering the Namtso Valley from the north, you have to cross Sangdankang.
Sangxue Mountain, and Sangdankangsang Snow Mountain is the most steep snow peak in the Tanggula Mountains.
People can freeze to death on the snowy peaks in summer, let alone the early winter in November. Most of these soldiers are from the northern Shanxi and Hedong areas. Most of them cannot adapt to the plateau climate, let alone climb the steep snowy peaks?
Tie Mo has such a way, but he dares not make a decision because no one knows whether he can cross the Sang Dan Kang Sang Snow Mountain, or everyone may freeze to death on the snow peak.
"Supervisor, it is unwise to storm the Namtso Gorge at the moment. Instead of marching day and night, the last five thousand soldiers and horses will be marched from the hinterland of Tocharo to the hinterland of Usizang." It was Orger who spoke.
But knowing Geng Zhongming's ability to lead troops, if even Wu Jinqing, who has always been cunning, steady and resourceful, can't do anything to defeat Namtso, who else can confidently defeat Namtso?
Tie Mo shook his head and rejected Orger's proposal. Orger's idea was good, but the principle was still the same. It was too time-consuming. If that was done, it would be better to retreat and detach a large army to trap Wu Si Zang to death on the plateau.
Above. Now that bitch Dorgon has started to take action. Woller is happily gathering the Koreans, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. If Tie Mo can't stand up in time, Daming will really suffer.
catastrophe.
Tie Mo only wanted the Ming Dynasty's officialdom to be reshuffled, and did not want real national humiliation. If he had to bear such heavy humiliation after rebirth, why would he return to the Ming Dynasty?
His brows furrowed, then gradually relaxed, he pointed his finger on the table and said slowly, "I have a method. I heard that there are many snow peaks on the top of Tanggula Mountain, among which the highest peak in the east is connected to the northern intersection and Namtso.
.The Governor now needs one person to cross this snowy peak, but there is one thing that I will not deceive you. Going to the Snowy Peak will lead to a narrow escape."
Everyone was wondering, how did the Superintendent know that there was a road to the top of the mountain? But now is obviously not the time to ask questions. Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Orger led the troops eagerly and immediately raised his hands and said, "Superintendent, send
Let’s go in the end!”
This time not only Tie Mo shook his head, but even Aqige on the side also shook his head gently, "No, Orger, you can't go. You have rarely walked the mountains in your life, how can you survive the snow peaks?"
Aqige's words were very reasonable. After hearing this, Orger could only smile helplessly. Tie Mo thought about it and handed over the task to Zhou Dingshan, "Dingshan, it's you who should go this time.
In addition, Zheng Zeshi’s people are at your disposal. If you really can’t go up, come back. Don’t ruin everyone’s lives!”
Tie Mo's words were heavy, with some helpless emotion. If Namtso really couldn't be defeated, then it can only be said that Wu Si Zang should not die.
Tie Mo has never believed in the theory of fate, but sometimes you have to admit that human power is not omnipotent, just like the Tanggula Mountains. If you can't get over it after exhausting all methods, you can only retreat. Maybe it's true.
We can't destroy Wusi Zang. In fact, we should have this awareness. Wusi Tibetans have lived on the plateau for thousands of years and have never been wiped out. If there is a war, it is only a dispute between Wusi Zang and Zhangxiong Kingdom.
The next day, Zhou Dingshan left Yushu. This time he took five thousand elite soldiers with him. In addition to Mu Ali, he also had Zheng Zeshi. Zheng Zeshi was obviously very upset about the previous defeat. This time, he followed Zhou Ding.
The mountain Tanggula Mountain was also requested by him on his own initiative.
The five thousand troops have a long way to go, and life and death are unknown. The only thing Tie Mo can hope for is that Zhou Dingshan can calm down and resolve the difficulties on the way. On November 19th, the wind was strong, and the cold wind was dry and cold.
Like knives stabbing a person in the face, twenty miles north of Panlongpo, the Northern Shanxi Army built a temporary camp, and Orger personally took charge of the main camp.
The Northern Shanxi Army stood still, as if they had lost their intention to attack Namtso, but for Nayan Ace in the Namtso Pass, this was nothing short of a torture. This Khitan Orger is truly a lone wolf on the prairie.
The camp was set up and remained motionless. Nayan Ace felt that the Northern Shanxi Army must be brewing some conspiracy, but he really couldn't think of it. Sometimes the battle situation is so mysterious. If the Northern Shanxi Army came to attack, he would be at ease guarding the Namtso Pass.
, because at least I can understand the situation and respond accordingly. But now, I know that the Northern Shanxi Army has taken action, but I don’t understand anything. I am not afraid of being passive on the battlefield, but I am afraid of not being able to control the situation.
Nayan Ace found Mu Lav and directly ordered him to go to Panlongpo in the north to have a look. Late at night, Mu Lav stood respectfully in front of Nayan Ace. He had previously treated this Xiangshung man
There were quite a few criticisms, thinking that this man was not qualified to lead the soldiers of Namtso. However, after a few days of getting along, Nayan Ace's ability to lead troops conquered many people. If he had not insisted on patrolling the northern cliffs, it is estimated that the Northern Shanxi Army would have succeeded.
.
"Mu Lav, you take 4,000 people to Panlongpo. Remember, don't take any action tomorrow and just guard Panlongpo. If the Han people don't take action on this day, you can attack the northern military camp of Panlongpo at midnight.
Launch an attack. Remember, if you encounter resistance, withdraw immediately and never be reluctant to fight!"
Nayan Ace frowned and looked serious, as if he knew something bad was going to happen. The strong wind swept across, and the cloak wrapped around his rough body. Muraf scratched his head and asked in a low voice, "Master Ace,
What are you worried about?"
"Mulaf, don't you think it's strange? The Han people came here with great efforts, but they only attacked once and then stopped moving? Hey, I'm afraid these Han people are thinking of some conspiracy. We still don't know what the opponent's plan is.
, I asked you to fight a dozen Han people just to see if you can find out anything! Mu Lav, don’t underestimate the Han people. These Han people swept through the northwest in a few years, destroyed the Liao Dynasty, and swallowed up Xixia. How can this be the case?
Incompetent people? It's just a pity that the nobles in Luoxe City are still dreaming of the gods of the mountains, but they don't know that the Han people may cross Tanggula Mountain at any time."
Muraf naturally didn't believe what Nayan Ace said. The Han people couldn't even conquer the Namtso Valley, so why should they cross Tanggula Mountain? Did they have wings?
However, as a deployment, Mu Lav still followed Nayan Ace's instructions. On November 23, the 10th year of Chongzhen, three thousand Wusizang soldiers occupied Panlongpo, and the two sides were separated by twenty miles.
Look, the atmosphere was very strange for a moment.
The day passed in a hurry, and both sides were in peace. Then Mu Lav remembered Nayan Ace's instructions. On the next day, Mu Lav took advantage of the night and went down to Panlong Slope. From Panlong Slope, he went two kilometers north.
For ten miles, there was almost no shelter or obstruction, so Murav tried his best to keep the team as quiet as possible, but it was really uncomfortable to face the strong wind.
But he said that Orge was not an idle person. Ever since he heard that the Wusi Tibetans had reoccupied Panlongpo, he became vigilant. Panlongpo was not a good place, and other places were easy to defend.
It is difficult to attack, but Panlongpo is easy to attack and difficult to defend. The Wusi Tibetans occupy Panlongpo, so they can’t enjoy the scenery, right?
Feeling on guard, Orger asked the detectives to be more careful, and the guard range was extended to five miles. Hidden traps were also set up in many nearby places. To be on guard in secret, the Northern Shanxi Army had its own system, such as digging and burying.
Dig up some hard soil and bury it again. Then the soil will become much softer. Then buy a rope into the soil. After the rope is tightened, there will be some small bells on the other end. When an army passes by,
, will inevitably trample the ground, step on the soft soil, those ropes will be pulled, and then the bell at the other end will ring.
Just after midnight, the sound of wind chimes was heard in the camp. After getting the news, Orger grinned and patted the table with his hand. Unexpectedly, these Wusi Tibetans actually came, "You all get out of the way."
Today, Mr. Xiao wants these Wusi Tibetan barbarians to never come back. Send an order and all the soldiers and horses of the Dongying camp rush to ten miles north of Panlongpo. When the Wusi Tibetan people arrive, sound the arrow as a signal. Give me a good call.
Let’s entertain these barbarians.”
"Here" a few generals took the order and came out. In the blink of an eye, more than 2,000 people from the East Camp slowly moved towards Panlongpo, and the troops from the West Camp were gradually diluted to the East Camp. In short, from the outside, the entire
The camp doesn't look like it has a small number of people at all.
Mu Laf is not an idiot, but this time he is still too confident and lacks sufficient understanding of the Northern Shanxi Army's combat methods. If he knew the Northern Shanxi Army's precautions against sneak attacks, he would never enter the camp so rashly
Choushi nearby was the coldest time of the day, and many soldiers shivered passively. Faced with such weather, even the Usi Tibetans who grew up on the plateau couldn't bear it.
Many Usi Tibetan soldiers were trembling and panting heavily, taking a breath of hot air from time to time to keep warm. There was already light in front of them, and the torches were brightly lit in the camp ahead. Muraf had to admire these Han people, they were really very disciplined.
In such a deep cold season, there is still such serious patrolling and vigilance.
Since it was a sneak attack, Muraf didn't want to hesitate too much. In short, he struck first and moved in and out quickly. After gesturing to several commanders, a group of Wusi Tibetans quietly approached the camp. Soon, the two guards
The soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army on the watchtower were attacked. Then, under the leadership of Mu Lav, three thousand Usizang soldiers launched a fierce attack on the entire camp. Their offensive was so huge that they could swallow the entire camp in one breath.
.
At first, Muraf advanced smoothly, only encountering slight obstacles. Then he quickly broke through the southern camp and burned the camp. However, after going deeper than a few dozen feet, Muraf clearly felt that the resistance of the Han people was getting stronger and stronger.
The battle line is getting longer and longer, and more and more Usi Tibetan warriors are strangled with Han soldiers.
Bang bang bang, a special drum sound sounded, and I saw a group of armored infantry striding over. These people were lined up in rows, holding long-handled knives in their hands, and their bodies were covered with a layer of black armor, "Oh.
...oh...oh..."
Mulraf's scalp was a little numb. Although he hadn't fought yet, he could feel an unprecedented pressure. How could Mulraf have seen this kind of unusual infantry?
The thick-armored infantry trained by the Xixia long-swordsmen are intended to be used as sharp-sword troops in short distances and in places not suitable for cavalry operations. This time the thick-armored infantry came to Panlongpo, it was also their first official participation in the battle.
A large-scale battle.
Many Wusizang soldiers did not know the power of the thick-armored infantry, so they rushed forward and slashed with their swords one by one. As a result, sparks flew everywhere, but the thick-armored infantry were unharmed. What followed was a one-sided massacre. Many Wusizang soldiers were frightened.
, because they have only now discovered that these Han infantry are simply invulnerable. Muraf was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and even shouted loudly as if crying, "Cut their heads off, look at their heads!"
Mulraf had heard of the Iron Buddha Cavalry. Those iron bastards were famously tough and almost invulnerable. Unfortunately, Mulraf thought it was simpler. The thick armor on these infantrymen combined the advantages of Yulin's chainmail armor.
In comparison, heavy armor is much lighter, and is much softer than the original heavy armor, so the neck can rotate flexibly, not to mention that the lower edge of the helmet can completely block the neck.
The efforts of the Wusi Tibetans were in vain. As the casualties increased, the formation of the Northern Shanxi Army became more and more stable. Half an hour later, Mu Lav had the idea of retreating. If he did not leave, he would be gone.
All these iron bastards are going to be left here. After giving the order, the Wusi Tibetans dropped the corpses in front of them, and the large group of people exited the military camp like a tide. Orger would not let go of the opportunity to beat the drowned dog, not to mention what he had already done.
How can we not chase after an ambush?
Mu Lav never thought that a small sneak attack would become so tragic, and even escape would become so difficult. Panting, he escaped from the camp and ran towards Panlongpo, but he could not run for five miles.
The scouts who had stayed on the outside earlier crawled to find Mulaf, "Sir Mulraf, something serious has happened. The Han people...are coming from...from the south!"
Hearing these words, Muraf almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, this soldier was a veteran who had been with him for many years, otherwise he would have doubted whether the military report was wrong.
