Subimala led more than 6,000 troops and had been guarding here for more than half a month.
Not long after the new defeat, the enemy was powerful, and the anxiety of the whole army could be imagined. If it were not for the little queen personally sitting in the army and "sharing the joys and sorrows" with everyone, the tribal coalition like Su Pi would have dispersed long ago.
However, the situation was not good either. Subimala asked for help several times, but there was no response. He only sent some food, so that everyone did not go hungry.
This made Suphimala and her generals anxious and angry. As the days passed, there was no longer any hope for reinforcements from the rear.
…………
In recent days, the Yalong people's army has been approaching the Nagqu River, and Tanqi's figure is looming on the other side. It can be seen that they are choosing a place for the army to cross the river.
The whole army became nervous, and the army was ready to move out at any time to prevent Yalong's army from crossing the river.
In addition, in view of the experience of the last defeat, the Supi people are also patrolling along the river, and they must not let the Yalong people cross the Nagqu River secretly.
There are countless ways to fight across rivers in the Central Plains.
If they are all cavalry and the river is not wide, fighting the enemy on the riverside is definitely not the best option. Especially the choice of the Supi people will look extremely stupid and clumsy.
If an excellent Central Plains general were to lead the army, facing the enemy's superior strength and the low morale of his own army, the decisive battle would never be placed by the river, even if he fought the enemy around Nangle City.
, it is also much stronger than blocking the enemy troops from crossing the river.
Subhimala and her subordinates did not think so much. They had too little combat experience and no military manuals to learn from. They still had the original pure tactical thinking of fighting the enemy in dangerous places.
Even though it had been verified once before that it was impossible for them to stop the enemy at the river, and there was a great possibility that they would be defeated by the enemy in a single battle, they still did so without any intention of learning from their experience, let alone
What strategy?
…………
The Yalong people's army arrived, consisting of two to three thousand people. The horses' hooves trampled on the ground and rumbled. Then the atmosphere of war gradually became thicker, and the fishy smell of the river water seemed to have a different smell.
The Yalong people obviously had no intention of avoiding the Supi army on the other side. They just walked straight over, as if they had made an appointment with the Supi people in advance for the decisive battle location, and planned to have a fight with the Supi people here.
It can be seen that the generals of the Yalong people have no doubts about the upcoming victory. They destroyed Supi before, but now it is just a repeat of the past.
The people on both sides have one thing in common, they all feel that the gods are watching them over the Naqu River, and any cowardly behavior will be blasphemy against the gods.
If Li Po were here at this time, he would definitely send some people to curse the gods of the Yalong people. The Yalong people probably couldn't bear it, and the vanguard troops would rush over and win the battle first.
It's just that the tribesmen in the Shannan area are not that quick-thinking, and they don't understand the nature of war at all. Their ferocity and barbarism are superficial, and they are fundamentally different from those Central Plains generals who regard human life as nothing.
…………
As evening approached, the smoke and dust on the opposite side became bigger and bigger. It was obvious that the main force of the Yalong people's army had arrived.
Looking at the flag on the opposite side, the morale of the Supi people dropped to the bottom, but they were still cursing the despicable Xiangxiong people because they saw the white elephant flag of the Xiangxiong people in the Yalong army.
The Supi people knew very well what this meant, and the Xiangxiong people again voted for the Yalong people as before.
At this time, the Supi army also welcomed a guest.
Hou Junji and a few guards hurriedly got into the messy camp of the Supi people. Needless to say, the tribal warriors of the Supi people gathered together, just like bandits from the Central Plains holding a conference, where they could complain.
There are too many places.
It’s no wonder that the Tubo people went to Liangzhou and led an army of more than 80,000 people, but were stopped by the Tang army as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. With their appearance, they could only bully the Tuyuhuns who were roaming the highlands.
.
Hou Junji covered his nose with a masked cloth. There were traces of defecation everywhere in the camp. Needless to mention the smell, Hou Junji felt that there was no need for the Yalong people to attack. If he stayed here for a while, he might
There is an epidemic, but who knows what kind of Asura god is in charge of treating the disease?
Seeing the Supi people forming an army, Hou Junji didn't have much expectations for the Yalong people...
…………
One night passed, and as soon as the sun illuminated the world, the Yalong people gathered together. An army of 12,000 people, looking from the sky, it was completely dark. This was a scene rarely seen on the plateau.
Stout and dark knights, wearing dirty leather robes, riding on hard-working but short plateau horses, carrying various weapons, gathered around the generals, waiting for the war to begin.
The commander-in-chief of the army, Tubo Nanglunkel, was surrounded by people and came to the river. He then dismounted and prostrated on the ground.
Of course, what he was worshiping was certainly not the Supi people opposite. He was worshiping the river god of the Nagqu River, one of the powerful gods in Shannan.
The priests quickly lit a bonfire, danced and danced for a while, followed the ritual procedures, pushed some people out to kill them, and pushed their bodies into the river.
If the Supi people on the other side rushed over at this time, it would be very lively. I wonder how the Yalong people would react?
It wasn't until the sacrifice was over that Lunkel looked at the other side in confusion, "Didn't you say they were guarding the river? Where are they now?"
Someone reported, "Master Nanglun, they left the river last night. They did not sneak away quietly, but retreated far away. I think it was the gods who stopped them, so that they did not dare to follow us by the Naqu River."
Fight..."
This is a very nonsense explanation, but it is recognized by everyone. It goes without saying that religion occupies a position among primitive tribes in detail. Almost everything is inseparable from it.
The Central Plains has also experienced such a stage, otherwise there would not be such a saying that the most important affairs of the country are sacrifices to the military. Even when it developed to the stage of the Tang Dynasty, there are still some shadows. Before wars, flags are often sacrificed.
The strange behavior of the Supi people did not attract enough attention from the Yalong people.
The Yalon people began to cross the river. Groups of knights rushed into the river on horseback. There were no enemies on the other side to stop them, which made them completely relaxed. They just wanted to leave the cold body of the god as soon as possible.
…………
More than ten miles away, the Supi army was ready to go.
Hou Junji stayed with the little Queen Subhimala, smiling and comforting the nervous Queen, "When the army is crossing the river, it is extremely undesirable to confront it head-on. What is the difference between that and wrestling with a bull...
