At the foot of Wuhai City, in the midst of the Tubo army.
Galqinling stood there quietly, watching the soldiers working hard to attack the city, with a hint of worry in his eyebrows. His worry was not because of the small Wuhai City, nor because of the Tang army in the city.
The leader is the world-famous Xue Rengui, but he is a figure that has nothing to do with this Wuhai offensive and defensive battle.
"Since the last time I wrote a letter reporting a military defeat and being scolded by me, there has been no news from my third brother. Although he has always had a strong temper, this time he may be planning a so-called perfect attack plan.
But I still feel a little uneasy. After all, Guo Daifeng is not an ordinary person. When his father Guo Xiaoke became famous in the Western Regions, he brought a lot of trouble to various tribes. Although Guo Daifeng is not as good as him now, he is not easy either.
Yu's generation also guarded Shancheng back then and was quite good at defending. If this person is determined to stick to Dafeichuan, considering the terrain of Dafeichuan and Guo Daifeng's ability to defend it well, it will not be easy to break through his camp."
"What are you doing, general? Why are you so lost in thought?" Next to the Garqin Mausoleum, stood a general wearing a brocade robe. This general was once a nobleman from Tuyuhun named Suhegui.
Murong Nuohebo, the king of Tuyuhun, had a conflict, so he led his troops to surrender to Tibet. Now, as the guide and deputy general of Garqinling, he cooperates with Garqinling to attack Tuyuhun. Occasionally, he saw Garqinling worried and asked.
But I heard Gal Qinling shake his head and talk about his worries about his third brother Zan Po.
Hearing this, Su Hegui immediately laughed and said: "The general is really filtered. General Zanpo is a veteran in the army. He has always been calm and careful in doing things. How can he be defeated by Guo Daifeng? What's more, even if he retreats for 10,000
Bu said, so what if he really suffered some small losses? He has 200,000 troops under his command, how many people does Guo Daifeng have? How can they pose a threat to him? From the general's point of view, the general is caring
It will be chaos."
Upon hearing this, Gal Qinling smiled and shook his head and said: "That's what you said. In fact, Guo Daifeng is not without weaknesses. This person is narrow-minded and willful. If we can induce him to take the initiative to attack, it is not that he has no chance of winning. It's just that I
The third brother also has the same character. If he is taken advantage of by the other party, he may suffer a big loss. What I am most worried about now is this. I am afraid that the third brother will suffer a big loss and still dare not tell me, just
Keep holding on like this. But you are right. Anyway, he has an army of 200,000 by his side. No matter how hard he tries, he will not be defeated. Then let him suffer a few more losses and encounter a few more setbacks.
I believe he will be able to defeat Guo Daifeng in the end."
Hearing this, Su Hegui immediately showed a trace of regret on his face. After all, most of the people led by Zan Po were his clansmen, and they surrendered because of his prestige. Gal Qinling was so generous.
Let Zan Po handle them casually, which naturally made him feel uncomfortable.
So Su Hegui wanted to ask: "Since the general is very clear about all this, why not directly tell General Zanpo the strategy to defeat the enemy? This will not only reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but also establish the prestige of General Zanpo.
.”
But Su Hegui didn't really say it, because as a surrendered general, he knew that Garqinling would definitely take precautions against him, especially since he could influence the 200,000 Tuyuhun army, so he would naturally find a way to take advantage of the opportunity.
Weaken his influence on Tuyuhun's army, and at the same time use war to reduce the number of Tuyuhun soldiers.
Gal Qinling naturally knew what Su Hegui was thinking, but he didn't care much. After all, he also had his considerations in it. He smiled faintly and stopped explaining the reason, but secretly said in his heart
: "Third brother, don't blame me. It's not that Brother Wei doesn't want to tell you the strategy to defeat the enemy. Brother Wei does this with profound meaning, because any famous general must have his own independent thinking. Only through his own independent thinking can he solve problems.
Only by following this method can you truly grow into a famous general."
At this moment, I suddenly heard an urgent report from the spies: "General, something bad has happened. A group of cavalry was found ten miles away from our army. Under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, they were heading in the direction of our army."
There are about five to six thousand people coming here, and it looks like they are going to launch a surprise attack on our army."
"What are you talking about? There are actually Tang Army cavalry behind our army? And there are as many as five or six thousand?" Gar Qinling couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Where did that cavalry come from?"
Which direction are you coming from? East or west?"
The spy was stunned for a moment, and then said: "General, he is in the east. He should have come from where the three generals' armies are stationed."
"Dongfang? Could it be that Guo Daifeng used a trick to deceive the third brother, and then led the cavalry to come all the way, hoping to cooperate with Xue Rengui to defeat me first, and then return to the army to deal with the third brother? This is really strange.
, didn’t Guo Daifeng have a rift with Xue Rengui? Why did he suddenly change his temper and start to cooperate sincerely? It seems that I still underestimated that guy, but both Xue Rengui and Guo Daifeng underestimated me first.
, Haha, Xue Rengui thought that with the advantage of attacking Wuhai first with an army of 30,000, he could lead our army by the nose, but unfortunately he did not expect that our army had a total of 400,000, and there were 200,000 who besieged Wuhai alone. Just this
It has already been decided that the Tang army will be defeated, it is just a matter of time, and Guo Daifeng is even more ridiculous. With only a few thousand cavalry, is it possible that he wants to attack Xue Rengui from behind and defeat our army?"
Gal Qinling smiled sarcastically, and then ordered: "General Su Hegui, you lead 10,000 Tugu sword and shield soldiers and 5,000 archers to form a formation in the Mingyue River Valley in front to prevent the Tang army from advancing.
Brother, you lead 10,000 Tibetan cavalry, divided into left and right wings. After the Tang army is frustrated, you will use your troops to cover it up. Let me see how strong Guo Daifeng is and whether he can break through the ambush of our army. Hehe, Guo Daifeng will definitely let Guo Daifeng out this time.
Feng no longer dared to come to harass our army, leaving Xue Rengui in despair."
"No." Su Hegui and Galqin Ling's fourth brother, Galda Gurishu, that is, Sitayu, immediately agreed after listening to Galqin Ling's order, and then went down to prepare.
"Haha, in this way, I don't have to worry about my third brother. Even if the Ertang Army's transport camp is fully mobilized, it can't pose any threat to my third brother. Now that there are thousands of cavalry missing, I will naturally be even more powerless. This time I designed
Defeating Guo Daifeng's cavalry may be a good opportunity for my brother to defeat the Tang army's heavy supply camp." Gar Qinling looked at the back of the Tibetan army hurriedly leaving, and his spirits suddenly lifted, and the worry on his face disappeared.
Already.
Since the beginning of the war, Galqinling has been victorious in every battle and has long been known as the military god of Tubo. Therefore, both Su Hegui and Sitayu believed that there was no suspense in this battle and that the victory of the Tang army was inevitable.
.
And the facts did develop in the direction they expected. As soon as the Tang army led the army to the Mingyue River Valley, they were ambushed by the Tubo army. Under the threat of infantry covered with antlers and holding spears, the Tang Dynasty cavalry was captured.
They were stopped and could no longer move forward. Immediately afterwards, Tuyuhun's archers rewarded them with a rain of arrows. Although the actual lethality was limited, the Tang army's formation began to fall into chaos.
At this moment, a blast of horns was heard, and Sitayu led 10,000 cavalry to attack the Tang army from the left and right wings.
Seeing this scene, the Tang army was very decisive and immediately led his troops to escape. Sitayu also admired the Tang army's decisiveness and immediately led his army to cover up and kill them from behind.
The Tang army abandoned their armor along the way, and weapons and armor were scattered all over the ground. Many Tubo soldiers couldn't help but dismounted to pick them up, but they were told to stop them. In the face of strict military orders, the soldiers did not dare to pick them up.
, could only bite the bullet and continue the pursuit, hoping to defeat the Tang army before going back to seize those weapons and armor in order to make a small fortune.
Sitayu led his army in pursuit for more than ten miles and came to a valley. This valley was called Calabash Valley, which was shaped like a gourd.
In the direction of the rear team is a narrow calabash mouth, which is easy to enter but difficult to get out.
When the army arrived outside Hulu Valley, Sidoyu saw that the terrain was dangerous and was deeply afraid of an ambush by the Tang army, but he did not dare to move forward.
But suddenly I heard a general not far in front laugh and say: "That Tubo traitor, who used the advantage of the location and the ambush to kill our army by surprise, came here today and dared to fight me fairly? If you don't dare,
All you need to do is kneel down and kowtow to me, and put on the women's clothes I gave you. If you see my cavalry of the Tang Dynasty in the future, you must stay away and not get entangled with us."
After finishing speaking, the man threw a baggage forward, which contained a set of gorgeous women's clothing from the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing this, Sitayu couldn't help being furious and immediately said: "Which one do you think is a woman? Our Tibetan warriors are invincible and the best in the world. You Tang barbarians are just good at conspiracy and tricks. If we talk about fighting immediately, who are our opponents? Since
If you are looking for death, I will help you. Please tell me, what kind of duel will it be?"
But I heard the man say: "If both sides send hundreds of cavalry for a decisive battle, I don't think you are the opponent. Why don't I suffer a little loss and all the soldiers on both sides fight to the death? Only the living ones of you and I can get out of the valley. So, here we are."
Do the thieves dare to challenge me?"
Sitayu really didn't dare. He was not afraid of the Tang army's combat power, but he was afraid that the Tang army had other plots. So he rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "You guys are talking nonsense. I, the Tubo warriors, are the best in the world."
I am famous that even in a fair duel, you are no match for me. Do you dare to send a hundred cavalry to have a fair duel with our army? If you win, I will naturally not disappoint you and will definitely fight a decisive battle with your entire army.
But what if you lose?"
I only heard the Tang general laughing and saying: "That's easy to handle. If our army loses, I will put on that woman's clothes and kneel down and kowtow to you. When I see your army in the future, I will stay away and not dare."
and fight.”
"This is what you said, don't break your promise." Sitayu burst out laughing when he heard the words, turned around at random, and said to a tower-like man next to him: "Ubatore, take a hundred of your men with you.
The warriors went to teach the Tang barbarians a lesson." (To be continued.)
