Jiumo Tuhamo smiled coldly, picked up the riding crop in his hand, slapped the deputy general on the face with the whip, opened his eyes and roared angrily:
"If you dare to make noise again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death? Remember, I am the commander of the Wolf Cavalry. Send the order, and the whole army will rest and recharge their batteries. When the sun rises, the army will directly attack the key points and defend Gansong Ridge in one go.
The army killed no one, but as for Zampu, I will explain it myself."
If the lieutenant general did not carry out Songtsen Gampo, Jiumo and Tuhamode might still be able to listen.
Now Jiumo Tuhamode was complaining that Songtsen Gampo was partial, but the deputy general's words only stoked the powder keg.
The deputy general didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he had to crawl down to deliver orders.
With the family background of this general, even Song Zan and Ganbu had to give up three points. How could he dare to provoke him?
Looking at the timid eyes of the lieutenant, Jiumo Tuhamo smiled proudly, raised his head and glanced at the lights in the distance, but in his heart he was thinking about the dream of breaking through.
****
It was late at night, and the breeze was blowing in the pine forest, making a swishing sound. The cool breeze in the mountains was still a bit chilly.
Outside the row of barracks, the soldiers on duty shrank their heads and hands, wishing they could go into the barracks and take a nap. The steel knives or spears in their hands were casually held aside, looking lazy and casual.
In the lofty mountains, when everything is silent, the chirping of insects and birds becomes the best lullaby, and sleepy bugs suddenly come into my mind.
The soldiers on duty kept yawning to show their embarrassment, and some were already leaning against the barracks and taking a nap unprepared...
In the pine forest, it was still silent at first, and the sound of chirping gradually came from the ground.
The soil is flying, the grass is shaking...
After a while, the pine forest was filled with dense figures of people.
Looking at the silent Wolf Cavalry camp beside the road, Yang Fan frowned.
Today's barracks are obviously different from those in the past. Why are there no patrolling soldiers?
Speaking of the 80,000 Tubo soldiers, the one that Yang Fan feared the most was the 30,000 wolf riders.
Not only were these cavalry armed to the teeth, but the infantry was already at a disadvantage against the cavalry.
Although there is a dense jungle here, there is no danger to defend it. Once the fierce Tubo cavalry launches a charge, the power will be earth-shattering and invincible.
It is simply unrealistic to run over four horses' feet with one pair of legs, which is why Yang Fan dare not do it easily.
Seeing that the barracks was so abnormal, Yang Fan had no choice but to wave to Wang Xiaojie and signal him to go check it out.
Nodding in understanding, Wang Xiaojie and several personal guards quickly disappeared into the pine forest.
Yang Fan then turned around to face the soldiers standing solemnly behind him, and said softly: "The Tubo Wolf Cavalry is not far away. Everyone should be silent. We will wait until the situation is found out before making a decision. We will stay on guard, eat some dry food and wait for orders.
"
In fact, Yang Fan had no good solution. At this time, Gansong Ridge was surrounded by Songtsen Gampo's army. It was simply unrealistic to go back. The most important thing was that going back was useless.
Attacking the camp was like throwing themselves into a trap. Once their whereabouts were exposed, they would be hunted down and besieged by the Tibetan army.
By then, not even a single person may be able to escape. Now, only by finding opportunities and cooperating with the Tang defenders can we possibly repel the Tibetan army.
Soon, Wang Xiaojie reported back the investigation situation, which made Yang Fan puzzled. He really didn't know what Tibet was doing.
Yang Fan raised his head, glanced at Wang Xiaojie, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be a stratagem?"
"Judging from the sound of breathing, these Wolf Cavalry soldiers have indeed fallen asleep. It doesn't look like a trap, but for some reason there is only one soldier on duty in the barracks today." Wang Xiaojie replied softly.
oh?
Yang Fan was quite surprised. This was not like the Tibetan marching style.
So he asked Wang Xiaojie: "What suggestions does Xiaojie have?"
Gu Li
Wang Xiaojie clasped his fists and said: "Why don't you return to Gansong Ridge to take charge of the overall situation? The general will lead the Guards to attack the Tubo Wolf Cavalry. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
Everyone was a little moved when they heard Wang Xiaojie's words. Although they were all well trained, after all, these people were just a group of new recruits.
Five hundred versus tens of thousands, anyone would be afraid.
Yang Fan also hesitated!
Whether or not we go back to Gansongling will not change the overall situation.
After all, Tibet had an army of 80,000.
Even if he goes back by himself, he will only be acting as a chariot, and his personal strength will be too weak in front of thousands of troops.
Su Dingfang sighed, with a hint of bitterness on his face: "If Gansong Ridge is lost, we will face ruthless military law. We might as well fight a big battle. As long as the sneak attack on the Wolf Cavalry is successful, the Tubo army will naturally fall apart. If we can defeat the Tubo soldiers
It’s best to get rid of them all before you react.”
If Gansong Ridge cannot be defended, we will inevitably be unable to avoid military law. It is better to attack the Tibetan rear army secretly and prevent them from looking at each other.
Since there is no way to retreat, it is better to fight to the death.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan said in a deep voice: "The Tubo cavalry is camped below, and they may launch an attack at any time. There are only three thousand defenders in Gansong Ridge, and there is no chance of victory."
"Although it is a taboo for military strategists to use infantry against cavalry, we have no way to retreat. If we run away, what will happen to the people of Songzhou City?"
"I believe in my vision. Every soldier here is a man upright. Even if he dies, we cannot abandon the people and act as shameless deserters!"
"The enemy's purpose is to knock down the gates and destroy the city, and burn, kill, and loot our Tang Dynasty. Can we let the enemy succeed? We can't!"
"Now, we are the key to determining the outcome of this war. Not only can we not escape, we must also teach the invading Tibetan barbarians a lesson and let them know the harm done to the Tang Dynasty."
Yang Fan's passionate voice successfully aroused the enthusiasm of these new recruits.
The men of the Tang Dynasty have never been short of blood. Now Yang Fan said that they are the patron saints of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the key to determining the outcome of this war. They are all full of enthusiasm and high ambitions.
So what if you die?
Anyway, they are guilty bodies, and as long as their death is worthwhile, they will have meritorious deeds recorded on their heads.
Relatives will not only receive generous pensions, but may also be cleared of their crimes.
Seeing that the effect was good, Yang Fan continued: "Although this is your first time on the battlefield, you are not soldiers and farmers. You are professional soldiers and the best among the best!"
"After training for so long, everyone can fight one against ten, especially the personal guards. You have powerful weapons in your hands. So what about the Tubo Wolf Cavalry?"
"The reason why these barbarians dared to invade our Tang Dynasty is because they did not encounter us. Tonight, we will use the blood and heads of the Tibetan wolf riders to tell the barbarians that our Tang Dynasty is not easy to bully!"
No cheers, no responses...
Because everyone knows that there is a Tibetan army not far away, and they must not expose their position lightly.
Even so, Yang Fan's encouragement made these recruits feel a strong sense of self-confidence from the bottom of their hearts.
yes!
Everyone trains hard, isn't it just to kill the enemy and make achievements?
What about the cavalry?
The more powerful it is, the more it can set off our strength.
Momentum is a very elusive thing that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.
Looking at the high-spirited new recruits, Yang Fan knew that as long as they passed tonight, they would all undergo a new transformation.
