Tiebei Mountain, one of the branches of Longshan, lies between Lintao and Tianshui. There is a big road around the mountain at the foot of the mountain. The terrain is dangerous and has always been a place that must be fought for by military strategists. During the Wude period, the Tang army had been here several times.
A great battle with the Eastern/Turkish Khanate, a military camp was established, thinking that it was a stalemate. Later, with the decline of the Turks and Xueyantu Khanate, this place was already deep in the inner abdomen of Hexi. The garrison had retreated, but the military camp was even more abundant.
Later, it was occupied by the "Black Wind Thieves" as one of the side villages. A few years ago, it repeatedly robbed past business travelers here, obstructing business roads, and the momentum was quite powerful. Qinzhou and Linzhou governors had to jointly send troops to encircle and suppress them with a large army.
Black Wind Thieves fled when they heard the news. The military camp was abandoned again, with only the ruins left here, and few people came to visit. No one knew that at the beginning of this year, the "Black Wind Thieves" quietly sneaked back here and renovated the military camp again.
There was a faint sense of the tranquility of the Japanese military camp. At this moment, Sun Quanfu, who was running all the way, was sitting proudly in the Juyi Hall of the mountain village.
Looking at the busy men in the hall, Sun Quanfu smiled proudly. He really had a reason to be proud. He was about to escape from his extremely beautiful golden cicada. He didn't believe that Li Xian could still do it.
Found his head. Even if Li Xian really sent someone to attack Sandaogou, he could only find the dead place of Langyaling. When Tang Jun came to his senses, his group had already crossed Tianshui and hid in Longshan.
, At that time, even if Li Xian sent all the soldiers and horses in Hexi, he would not have thought of finding the traces of his group from the vast mountains. When he thought of Li Xian's annoyed by his plan, Sun Quanfu's face
His smile immediately became even brighter.
"Report, sir, I found the Tang army cavalry three miles away, rushing towards Tiebei Mountain!"
Sun Quanfu was obviously proud too early. Before he could finish his dream, he saw a whistle detective rolling and crawling into the hall. He didn't even have time to go to the ceremony, so he started to yell out panting.
"What? You see clearly? Where are the soldiers?"
When Sun Quanfu heard the Tang army coming, he could no longer sit still. He jumped up suddenly, grabbed the whistle detective's breastplate, and shouted in anger.
"Sir, yes, it comes from Lintao. The flag is marked with the word "Li". My subordinates dare not get too close. They really cannot know who led the army."
Sun Quanfu's movements were too fierce. The detective was startled and his face turned pale in an instant, but he didn't dare to neglect it and replied stammeringly.
"Damn it!"
No matter where the troops came, they were all for their own ranks. The distance between three miles seemed to be quite large, but for the cavalry running on horseback, it was just less than half a stick of incense.
, At this point, it is almost impossible to get rid of the pursuers. Although Sun Quanfu is not a master of military strategy, he still has such simple military common sense. It is too late to escape, and Sun Quanfu's heart is immediately
Then he sank to the bottom of the valley, cursed in anger, threw the detective aside, rushed out of the lobby quickly, shouting: "The whole army gathers together, prepare for war, prepare for war!"
Although the Tiebeishan Military Village had been repaired at the beginning of the year, it had not been occupied for a long time, and the dirt everywhere was really young and old. The bandits were busy cleaning up at this time, and suddenly heard Sun Quanfujian.
A thin roar, carrying weapons and running to the village wall, saw a large area of smoke and dust rolling towards the Tiebiao Mountain, and they were all panicked.
"The entire army stopped and dismounted from the army!"
The army rushed over was Li He's troops. But when they saw the smoke and dust rising, four thousand cavalry rushed to the foot of the mountain like flying. However, when Li He heard Li He's shout, the four thousand men stopped in an orderly manner at the foot of the mountain.
Each of them turned over and got off the horse's back, quickly formed a formation, and made a strong attack, but did not rush to launch an attack, but just stood quietly at the foot of the mountain. Although it was silent, it was a huge battle.
But the intention soared into the sky.
"Don't be afraid, the Tang army does not have much force. We are in a position of advantage, and we are condescending and have a great victory. We all cheer up our family and keep it until dark and will win!"
Seeing that the subordinates were afraid before the battle, Sun Quanfu became anxious. If the Tang army took down the military camp in one go, everything would have to be explained here. This is naturally not the ending that Sun Quanfu wanted to face.
, shouting loudly to cheer up the men and cheering for their subordinates became an inevitable move.
"Huho, Huho..."
What Sun Quanfu said is quite reasonable. Although the Tang army has a strong military force, in terms of military strength, there are only more than 4,000 people in total, but among the more than 1,000 "Black Wind Thieves" in the mountain village, there are extraordinary masters.
If you defend with danger, you may not be able to fight the Tang army, let alone the darkness is only a little more than an hour, and you can even drag it over. Because of this, the bandits were so robbed by Sun Quanfu.
After a shout, he really raised his spirits. They all let go of their throats and started shouting wildly. Some even rampant people even cursed at the Tang army at the foot of the mountain.
The villages were filled with the noise of bandits, and they were quite imposing.
"A bunch of miscellaneous!"
The noise in the village was so great that Li He could not hear it, but he did not take it to heart. He just curled his lips and cursed disdainfully, but did not order a quick attack. It was not because he was afraid that he would not be able to fight.
Instead, he didn't want to use the precious lives of these elite soldiers to exchange for the bandits' worthless lives. As for how to attack the mountain, Li He had already made a decision, so he defeated Ye Sheng, Hu Yan Tiexin and other generals.
He summoned him to his side and whispered orders.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
The Tang army adjusted quickly. After a few breaths, a shrill sound of horns passed by. The brigade of Tang soldiers, originally arranged neatly at the foot of the mountain, began to move, but saw a thousand officers and soldiers slowly approaching the mountain village under the command of Wang Yu.
The steep path did not launch a charge along the road, but instead formed a formation at the intersection. Three hundred soldiers holding round shields lined up in close formation in front, and seven hundred crossbowmen held the formation in the rear, as for
The other Tang troops scattered into the mountains and forests, swung their marching axes and chopped up firewood, making noises and trumpets that were shocking.
"Sir, what are they doing? Are they planning to set up camp? It's unlikely?"
Diao San looked straight at him for a long time, but he couldn't understand what Tang Jun was trying to do so, so he scratched his head and threw the problem to Sun Quanfu, who was standing beside him.
"What's impossible? Do they dare to attack? Hey, it's really a delusion to want to siege us. Brothers, you have all defended it. Don't let the official army take advantage of the loopholes. If anyone dares to go lightly, some family will take advantage of it.
He's skin!"
Sun Quanfu is only half-baked in military strategy, and he also doesn't understand what the purpose of Tang Jun's move is. However, at this moment, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had to say something, so he could only be.
He waved his hand calmly and shouted with great courage.
"promise!"
The bandits who followed Sun Quanfu here were either the master sent by Empress Wu or the desperate people recruited by Sun Quanfu himself. They were all brave, but they really wanted to fight against Tang Jun head-on to a bloody battle on the battlefield.
That was a foolish thing that no one dared to do. When he heard what Sun Quanfu said was reasonable, he felt a little relieved. Everyone was cheered up and agreed loudly.
"Hey, sir, it's wrong. Look, why did the official army pile up all the cut firewood at the foot of the mountain?"
Diao San followed Sun Quanfu for a long time, and naturally knew that Sun Quanfu was more cruel and lacked military strategy. No matter how much Sun Quanfu said it, he did not dare to believe it all. Therefore, he was blinded by the bandits.
But I was more careful and always paid attention to the every move of the Tang army at the foot of the mountain. When I saw the firewood cut by the Tang army around the foot of the mountain, my doubts immediately arose, and it was so tight.
He rushed to shout.
"this……"
Hearing the sound, Sun Quanfu quickly fell to the wall of the village. After a closer look, his eyebrows immediately frowned, rubbed his eyes suspiciously, and looked at the flags floating on the flagpole beside the wall of the village. His eyes suddenly became straight.
stand up.
"Sir, Sir!"
Diao San waited for a long time, but he didn't see Sun Quanfu express anything. He couldn't help but feel anxious and called out twice.
"Damn it! The government army wants to smoke, hurry up, everyone goes to get water, wet the towel and cover his mouth and nose. Go quickly, and he is still standing still, waiting to die!"
After being fussed by Diao San, Sun Quanfu immediately woke up suddenly, jumped up, and roared in anger.
"promise!"
The bandits were not stupid. At this time, how could they not know that Tang Jun was planning to use the wind direction to smoke the mountain village? How dare they hesitate more. They rushed to the well to fight.
The towels were wet with water, and the entire copycat was in chaos for a moment.
"ignition!"
The Tang army was moving very quickly. In just over a quarter of an hour, six huge piles of firewood were piled up at the foot of the mountain, and tinder oil, wolf dung and other things were poured on. With Li He's order,
The fire head was ignited almost at the same time, and rolling black smoke rushed up. Then it was blown by the strong wind and drifted towards the mountain village on the hillside. Within a few breaths, the entire mountain village was completely shrouded in the thick smoke.
There are three wells in the mountain village, but there is only one bucket to draw water. Even though the bandits are already fighting, the water they get is still very limited. Until the fire breaks out at the foot of the mountain, more than half of it is still there.
The bandits had not had time to wet their towels, and were fumed by the thick smoke swept up by the strong wind, and they were choked and sneezing wildly. The whole village was filled with smoke and chaos, and the sight was chaotic.
Not far away, no one noticed that a small group of Tang troops, led by Hu Yan Tiexin, had quietly followed the path in the forest toward the back mountain...
