Although it was only the first time they met each other, Li Xian keenly discovered that Gar Qinling and himself were actually the same type of people, that is, they would never waste energy on useless efforts. Obviously, Gar Qinling was in Even though he knew that words could not sway him, he still talked so much nonsense, which only meant one thing - to build the plank road openly and to secretly attack Chen Cang. As for the ambush, it was also easy to judge, and nine times out of ten it would be possible. It’s from Wuhai City!
"General, I will remember the feelings of seeing each other off all the way. Now that we are about to part, the little king is indeed quite reluctant to leave. However, it is fate to get together and separate. It would be good to renew our relationship in the future. General, please come back. Thank you." Already."[]
After understanding the ambush of Gar Qinling, Li Xianzi didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he laughed, raised his hands in response, twisted the horse's head, and gestured to return to the formation.
"Your Highness, wait a minute, I have something to say."
When he saw that Li Xian was about to leave, Gar Qinling immediately concluded that Li Xian might have guessed the movements of Wuhai City's soldiers, but he didn't care, so he smiled and said something to save him.
"Oh, general, is there anything else you want to explain? If you are staying as a guest, then there is no need to say anything more. You have already decided to leave alone. It is really difficult to make it easier."
The reason why Li Xian ordered the entire army to dismount and form formation this time was not because he really intended to defend here. In fact, he had only one purpose in doing so, which was to put on a posture of planning to attack halfway across the river, in order to accumulate horse power. , after all the previous troubles, the horse power has been restored to some extent, but it is not enough to support the whole army to rush away. Furthermore, according to Li Xian's calculation, it is unlikely that Wuhai City's soldiers and horses will be so fast. Since he was able to arrive, he was not in a hurry to leave, so he teased Gar Qinling with a smile.
"His Highness is really heroic. He comes when he wants, leaves when he wants, and does what he wants. Haha, I admire you so much, but I am the master. If you don't show anything, wouldn't it chill the hearts of everyone in the world? Your Highness still stays. Well, otherwise, it would be difficult for someone in the chaos to ensure the safety of His Highness, so why would Your Highness make things difficult for someone?" Gar Qinling still smiled very kindly, but his words were no longer calm, but threatening. His sharp edge is clearly revealed.
"Hahaha... The general is really a hospitable person. Not only did he personally lead so many people to see him off, but he also sent soldiers from Wuhai to deliver gifts. Xiao Wang was really grateful. He accepted it with a smile and said goodbye. ,Farewell!"
Seeing that Gar Qin Ling was in a state of confusion, Li Xian couldn't help but burst out laughing. He simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly, directly pointing out what Gar Qin Ling had done.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Since your Highness knows that the Ukrainian navy has crossed the river, you should know that your department is already a turtle in the urn, so why bother struggling to the death, and why do you have to commit more crimes? It's not worth it for you to be a general." Gar Qinling had already guessed that Li Xian had seen through his ambush. At this time, he heard Li Xian expose it in public, but he was not angry. He just stated the facts in a tone, but the voice of these words It was obviously louder and spread far away. Obviously, these words were not only meant for Li Xian, but also for the Tang army officers and soldiers who were waiting in formation. They had only one intention, and that was to strike. The morale of Li Xian's troops was improved, and by the way, the relationship between Li Xian and his soldiers was also tried.
"Haha, don't worry, General. I'm going to leave. If the general thinks the gift is too light, you might as well send the whole army across the river to pursue it. Don't blame me for not predicting what I said!" I guess it's about time!
It was almost done. Li Xian didn't want to wait for the Tubo army to attack from two sides, so he laughed, and after leaving an enigmatic sentence, he no longer gave Gar Qinling a chance to say anything, and ran back on horseback.
After arriving at the formation and giving an order, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who had rested for most of an hour, got on their horses and galloped away in the direction of the Kunlun Pass.
As soon as the Tang army left, the Gar Qinling immediately posed a big problem - to pursue or not to pursue? If not, then we can only sit back and watch Li Xian escape, let alone the heartache
It’s hard to get out of trouble, let’s just say that if the Tang Army launches a spring offensive next year, without Li Xian’s trump card, what can we do to resist the Tang Army’s powerful offensive? What if the ambush Li Xian said is true?
If anything, it would be great fun to pursue the general so directly, if something goes wrong - Gar Qinling had received the Flying Eagle Biography from the spy stationed in Khotan six days ago.
Since I know that Yuchi Fuxiong has rebelled, I am afraid that the entire Tibetan army in Khotan has been wiped out. It is difficult to guarantee whether the Tang army Li Jinxing and his troops will quietly sneak into the Kunlun Pass together with the Khotanese and attack the Kunlun Pass.
An ambush on our own side.
Chai, we can't just let Li Xian go for nothing! Gar Qinling is not an easy person after all. Although he has doubts in his heart, he does not intend to change his original intention. He takes advantage of just over a minute to rush back to the formation.
During the gap, Gar Qinling had considered all the possibilities, and finally made up his mind to pursue. While loudly ordering the entire army to cross the river, he also did not forget to send a messenger eagle to order the Uzbek Navy to speed up.
Rushing towards the pass of Kunlun Mountain, they must catch up with Li Xian's troops in the shortest possible time. However, in this series of orders, Gar Qinling was cautious - he did not lead his troops to fight with Wuhai.
The pursuers rejoined, but were several miles behind, hanging behind the Uzbek Navy, in a posture ready to deal with any possible ambush by the Tang army.
Wuhai is just a small city with very few permanent residents, but its geographical location is extremely important. It is an important pass on the Tang-Tibet ancient road, and it is also a strategic location for the Tubo people to control Tuyuhun. The size of its garrison is naturally not small, and there were originally defenders.
There are nearly ten thousand people, but after being raided by Xue Rengui's army at the beginning of the year, most of the city was in ruins, and the number of defenders was reduced by half. Now there are only five thousand. The leading general Wanhu Changping Renchi Zanzheng
He was the master who was defeated by Xue Rengui. This man was cruel and suspicious. He was not from the same lineage as Gar Qinling. He was the cousin of the late Deputy Prime Minister Luncha Mo. He took the order this time.
He crossed the upper reaches of the Buha River to encircle Li Xian's troops, but before he could lead his troops to the battlefield, he received a strict order from Gar Qinling on the way, saying that Li Xian's troops had fled to the Kunlun Mountain Pass in a hurry.
He went there and ordered his troops to pursue them in a hurry, and also said that he would lead a large army to follow and catch up. Pingren Chizan had no choice but to lead his troops to change the route and rush towards the Kunlun Pass. After rushing all the way, finally when the sky was getting dark,
They chased him to a distance less than three miles away from Li Xian's headquarters.
Pingren Chizan fought twice with the Tang army, both of which ended in disastrous defeats - first in the field battle at the mouth of the Buha River, he was severely defeated by Xue Rengui's troops, and then in the defense battle of Wuhai City, he was defeated again.
The enemy's strong attack by the Tang Army was defeated twice in three days. The strength of the troops and horses was so badly damaged that they were unable to participate in the subsequent Battle of Dafeichuan. They had always been very wary of the Tang Army's combat effectiveness. Now,
Seeing that it was getting dark, and fearing that he would be ambushed by the Tang army, he ignored Gar Qinling's order to kill him and slowed down the pursuit without permission. He was willing to hang slowly behind Li Xian's troops and followed every step.
They chased, but refused to rush forward and risk their lives with Li Xian's men. The two cavalry armies chased each other three miles away with a tacit understanding until it was completely dark, and then they set up camp separately.
?Qinling knew that Pingren Chizan was suspected of being a traitor, but he had no choice but to lead the army several miles away, and he and Pingren Chizan were at odds with each other to capture Li Xian from a distance.
Half of it is surrounded by it.
Traveling all night? It’s not realistic. Not only that people can’t stand the severe cold at night, but even if people can stand it, horses that have been running for several days can’t bear it. This is the same for both parties. As for attacking at night,
There is no hope for the camp, because the commanders of both sides know that the other side is a cautious person and cannot make any big omissions. It would be a big joke if the chicken is stolen but the rice is lost.
So, no one stirred up trouble, and the night passed peacefully.
At three o'clock on the 22nd day of October in the first year of Xianheng, a trace of white fish belly just appeared on the horizon. Pingren Chizan, who had been severely scolded by Gar Qinling, changed his caution from yesterday and waved his troops regardless of the darkness.
The small camp under Li Xian's command was so fierce that the Tang army had no time to clean up the camp and even the tents, so they fled. The embarrassment of the situation made Pingren Chizan completely relieved.
Then, without any scruples, he drove his troops in pursuit and pursued them wildly. In less than half an hour of pursuit, the distance between them and the Tang army was gradually reduced from three miles to less than a few miles.
"Catch up and capture Li Xian alive!"
At seven o'clock in the morning, it was getting daylight. Pingren Chizan, who was leading his troops to cover up the attack, finally saw clearly the fleeing Tang army in front. He was surprised to find that Li Xian's troops had been dispersed at some point and only a thousand people were still following.
Under Li Xian's banner, he was overjoyed. He shouted and drove his troops to launch a wild charge. Relying on his superiority in horsepower, he covered the fleeing Tang army like a roaring wave rolling over the ground. Both sides
The distance between them narrowed sharply, and soon they were chasing each other head to tail.
"Woooooooo..."
Before Pingren Chizan's excitement had passed, a shrill horn sound suddenly sounded in a forest not far away, and then a Tang Army cavalry roared out of the woods and stopped to attack Pingren Chizan.
Zan's troops rushed over and were so fierce that Pingren Chizan was so frightened that his face changed color.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Pingren Chizan was afraid of being beaten by the Tang army. The reason why he had the courage to pursue Li Xian's troops was not only because he was suppressed by the generals of Gar Qinling, but also because he bullied Li Xian's troops.
The young and tired man thought that he did not have the courage to risk his life against the Tang army. Seeing the Tang army's ambush, he had no fighting spirit at all. He shouted and led his troops to turn around in an arc.
He fled away from the slanting stab, panicking like a bereaved dog, without any trace of the heroic spirit he had before when he used his troops to cover up the kill...
