A poisonous sun hangs deep in the sky, spreading out the hot heat. The puddles beside the dirt road are slowly rising, and the steam is winding and drifting into the distance. From time to time, one or two wild dogs will appear and run to the puddles.
, stretched out his long curled tongue and desperately licked the remaining water stains in the puddle.
Nearly a thousand Tang troops from the Tongwu camp and three thousand warriors from the White Wolf clan have been marching for nearly twenty miles without stopping under the scorching sun.
After a night of fierce fighting, a group of soldiers severely defeated the Jiuqu Tubo army and achieved a staged victory.
The mission of the Tang army was to attract Tibetan troops from the front line of Chiling to return for reinforcements. From this perspective, they have completed the mission perfectly.
Of course, Li Kuo, the captain of Guoyi, would not be satisfied with this. He cleverly set up an ambush to lure the Tubo people into a trap. He used the terrain of the canyon and horse pits to almost annihilate all the Tubo light cavalry. Without the speed advantage of the cavalry, even if nine
Qu's army escaped from Shuanglong Valley and would not have the courage to pursue him. As long as Gao Xiuyan could resist the Tibetans who were coming back for reinforcements, all 30,000 Tang troops could circle back to Qinghai from the mouth of the river.
However, what worries the young man is that the soldiers of the Xiongwu and Zhenwu battalions did not fight with him in time. Before the battle, he specifically asked Wang Xiaochun not to fight, just to prevent the Tubo people from breaking through directly from Shuanglong Valley. But looking at this situation, this kid
Apparently they had a fight with the Tubo people. The scouts sent by Xianyu Yucheng reported that the mountain road leading to Polunyi was blocked by huge rocks. Looking from the mountain plain, the valley was full of Tibetan corpses. Obviously, Wang Xiaochun was not satisfied.
In order to bluff and deploy suspicious troops to scare off the Jiuqu Army, he actually used a thousand reserve troops to trap and kill nearly 5,000 Tibetan elites!
At this time, Li Kuo was worried and happy.
Fortunately, the Tang people led by Wang Xiaochun have thoroughly proven themselves through this battle and have regained their long-lost self-confidence. I believe that they will soon be able to integrate into the unique cultural atmosphere of the Tang Army in Longyou. What worries me is that this child
He was too impulsive and did not follow his own orders in advance. It was not that Li Kuo was petty, but that he had a mountain of military orders. For him, it was just a few words of reproach. If he had been replaced by a strict coach, he might have killed someone to establish his authority.
As the saying goes, there is no child's play on the battlefield. All a soldier can do is obey. If everyone has their own ideas, how can we fight this battle?
"Brother Kuo'er, where will Xiaochun and the others go? If we follow the established route, we should go south instead of west." Zhang Yanji came on horseback and asked in a deep voice.
Li Kuo shook his head and said: "It stands to reason that we should go to Lingshan, thirty miles away, to meet them, but huge rocks block the mountain road, so we can only take a detour to Polunyi."
Zhou Wuwei nodded: "There is some truth in your analysis. You have lived up to my hard work, brother." After a great victory, Tongwu Camp was in a good mood from top to bottom, and the entire military camp was in a good mood.
The atmosphere was very harmonious and exciting.
Zhou Wuwei also relaxed his tense nerves and returned to his playful appearance in Chang'an.
Li Kuo glanced at him, pretending to be slightly angry and said: "No matter how big or small, there is no etiquette at all."
Zhou Wuwei curled his lips: "I believe anyone who says they value etiquette, but if you, Li Qilang, stick to those vulgar things, I would laugh so hard that I would eat an omelette."
"You, you dare to make fun of me!" Li Kuo laughed and scolded and punched his friend's shoulder, feeling extremely comfortable.
During this period of time, everyone has been trekking and marching at high intensity. On the one hand, they have to worry about the Tibetan sentries and cavalry, and on the other hand, they have to deal with annoying mosquitoes, which has really stretched their bodies into tendons.
After winning this battle, I'm afraid it's not far from home, right?
Li Kuo raised his head and looked north. The battle for Shibao City should have reached a fever pitch at this moment. Marshal Geshu asked him to launch an attack before the end of May, and he advanced the time for the water to flood Jiuqu by three days. In this way
As a result, the time left for the Tang army to attack Shibao City head-on was greatly increased, and it was only a matter of time before they captured Shibao City.
The word "home" seems so sweet now. It is not decorated with gorgeous words, and it is not recited by Three Thousand Imperial Scholars, but it firmly binds my heart with the tie that connects Wanderer Zhengfu.
This four-square square character contains too many emotions. At home, there is a table of delicious dishes cooked by my mother, and Uncle Sun’s sincere and pleasant teachings;
Confucianism taught...
Yes, there are also delicious omelettes made by Ah Tian.
There is no calm water beside the Qujiang Pool, and there is no rouge water in the Huaqing Palace, but the home contains a touch of heart-warming flavor. This flavor is unique and incomparable.
Who said that young people don’t know sorrow, but they haven’t reached the place of lovesickness yet!
"General Li, look at your distracted look, aren't you talking about Miss Du?" Pu hit his big mouth with a sledgehammer and giggled, looking like he had everything under control.
"Ah!" Li Kuo was deep in thought when he was suddenly brought back to reality by the sound of Pu's sledgehammer.
"Hey, even you dare to make fun of me!" Li Kuo glared at him angrily: "I see, you are not injured enough, you really should let the Tibetan people slash and pull you more!"
Knowing that Li Kuo was saying something sarcastic, Pu Dachui didn't take it seriously. He just put his hands on his chest, like a beauty holding his heart, and said sadly: "This will make people sad to death, you heartless man!"
Li Kuo couldn't laugh or cry when he saw a big man pretending to be a little girl. Strangely enough, although his brothers were often informal and liked to make trouble for him, he never felt anything was wrong.
He hopes to create a relatively relaxed atmosphere for everyone and give them comfort in the tense and cramped military life. This is the rule of Tongwu Camp, and this is Li Kuo's rule. As for what others say, it is not his business.
Yes.
"Let me tell you, Lieutenant Li is a really good-natured man!" Li Sheng was being carried on the wooden board at this time, and he was still talking. He joined Tongwu Camp late, but he never regarded himself as an outsider.
.From the mouths of other robes, he also heard more or less about the "world-shaking love" between his captain and Miss Du, which was "shaking the heavens and the earth, weeping ghosts and gods", so how could he not take a dig at it.
"Okay, you guys are working together to bully me. I'm an honest person and won't lose my temper, right?"
Zhang Yanji made a look of panic and waved his hands: "How dare we? You are the leader of the Tongwu Camp. You just say a few words and we are still not allowed to be pulled outside the camp, stripped of our pants and beaten with military sticks?"
"Yanji, Yanji... I still think you are my best friend, but it turns out you have 'betrayed the enemy' a long time ago!" The young man smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
"What are you afraid of? With Bentag here, let's see who dares to bully you!" Aina urged the horse over and took Li Kuo's arm in public.
"oh!"
"Oh, Heroine, have mercy on me, Heroine, have mercy on me!"
All the Tang soldiers laughed loudly and raised their hands to beg for mercy.
"That's more or less the same!" Aina snorted quite helpfully and raised her head proudly. "I don't care whether A Tian is long or short. There is no one in this Jiuqu Dafeichuan who is better than me Aina.
Beautiful girl."
"Oh!" All the generals were quite impressed by this scene of a beautiful woman saving a hero, and clicked their tongues in agreement.
Although Aina still looked like she was about to succeed, Li Kuo was already blushing with embarrassment.
"You don't have to talk anymore!" Li Kuo was annoyed and lightly danced his riding whip.
"Stop talking, why don't we stop talking?" Pu Dachui said hehey, rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh, there's really nothing I can do against you!" Li Kuo sighed and put down his riding crop.
The group of people walked like this for half a stick of incense, and had a moment of leisure along the way. When they reached a fork in the road, the scouts sent by Xian Yuyucheng came back in a panic, whipping their horses and whips.
"General, general..."
"What happened? Speak slowly and don't be anxious." Li Kuo held the reins and said in a harmonious voice.
"The Tubo people... the Tubo people... are here. Three miles away, they are all Tubo people."
Li Kuo frowned and said, "How many Tibetans are here?"
"Maybe ten thousand, maybe twenty thousand, coming from the direction of Huzhakou, they are all cavalry!"
"What!" The young man cried out in shock.
Tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry came from Huzhao Gate. How is this possible?
"Yes, they came from Hu Zhakou." Seeing that his captain had doubts, the scout puffed up his chest and insisted that he would not change his mind.
Didn't Gao Xiuyan stop the Tubo people? A big question mark arose in the young man's heart. If this was the case, then these thousands of people would be in danger.
"His grandma is a bear. What does Gao Xiuyan do for a living? He led more than 20,000 cavalry and couldn't even stop a group of barbarians." Pu slapped his thigh with a hammer and cursed sternly.
"I told you that he is not a good person, but I think he is sincerely trying to kill us! It is convenient to borrow the help of the Tubo people!" Zhang Yanji snorted coldly, adding ridicule to every sentence.
.
"That's enough!" Li Kuo waved his hand and stopped the argument among his subordinates. What we have to do now is to stabilize the morale of the army and never let these remarks spread.
"Is there any other way besides taking a detour from Polunyi?"
The scout nodded in embarrassment: "Yes, there is. Go through the trail on the right and go straight to the Qianli Dafeiling. You can also reach the mouth of the river by climbing over the Dafeiling."
Li Kuo shook his head and sighed in his heart. It was absolutely impossible to return to the river mouth through the Dafei Ridge. The Dafei Ridge was covered with snow and vast ice. If you were not careful, you would fall into a bottomless ice cave.
Even strong warriors would not dare to take risks, not to mention there are so many wounded in the army!
It is no longer possible to go to Dafiling. Is it necessary to break through Polunyi from the front?
ps: The most unpredictable thing is the human heart. What will happen? I guarantee that the ending of this volume will be absolutely amazing! The hole I dug, well, it’s time to fill it. That’s it. I had a great time writing it today. Please read it.
