On the tenth day of the fifth day of the eighth year of Tianbao, Geshuhan, the governor of Longyou, personally led 60,000 Longyou elite troops to gather and stationed at the city of Shibao. At that time, he ordered Abusi to lead his commander, Luo Tieqi and Hexi troops, to detour for a total of 60,000 detours.
The southern line of Chiling deterred and restrained hundreds of valleys. Wanxiu's generation of Tubo defenders were sent by the commander. The commander secretly sent the guerrilla general Gao Xiuyan, and the commander of Guoyi Li Kuo to lead 30,000 troops across Qinghai and attack Jiuqu City...
The Battle of Hehuang has officially begun, and the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are like gamblers who have suppressed all their property. Since they have already been on the gambling table, they have no way out.
Through Shenwei City, cross Qinghai and head straight to Jiuqu City. According to reliable information, Tubo Zanpu Chisong Dezan has set out to the governor, so he naturally cannot be stationed on the front line. The Jiuqu City closest to Shibao City is him
The best choice...
The trick to surround Wei and save Zhao was very stiff but practical. The Jiuqu Generation would not have many defenders, and everyone was fully capable of forcing the Tubo people to return to the rescue!
This is what Ge Shuhan said to everyone before departure. Although everyone had to stop and rest because the fleet was too long. Even so, everyone only stayed on Longju Island for one night. On the second day
Before the sky could be bright, the 30,000 Tang troops set off for the Haixi Ferry.
"Qilang, the victory or defeat of this Hehuang Battle is related to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. The wealth and life of millions of people in Guanlong is all about you!"
When Li Kuo thought of what Ge Shuhan said alone that night and patted his shoulder, he was shocked unconsciously. When did he actually bear the burden of the survival of the nation? The boy could not imagine, Ruruhe
What will happen if the Battle of Huang fails...
"Brother Kuoer, since we are all here, why not kill directly into Luoshe City and take over the Tubo people's nest!"
Zhang Yanji rode on the thunderbolt, pointing at the majestic pointing fingers.
"Huh?" Li Kuo pulled out of his meditation and looked up to respond. After understanding his friend's thoughts, the young man smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that we are destined to besiege Jiuqu City. Even if the commander gives it to him, he will give him a chance to besiege Jiuqu City.
With the power of our own dispatch, the city of Lussia is more than a thousand miles away from the west of Qinghai. When we arrive, the battle will probably be over."
"I just said that, you have to make the decision." Zhang Xiaolangjun spread his hands and pulled the corners of his mouth.
"Qilang, marching at this speed may be a waste of military opportunity!" The guerrilla general Gao Xiu tightened the reins and waited for Li Kuo to catch up with half of the horse.
"Yes, the general manager said they would launch a general attack on May 20th, which means we must arrive at Jiuqu City before the twenty days. We were all light cavalry, except for the small catapult carriage, and almost no baggage was brought.
One person and one person ride three stones of food, and it has only walked more than a hundred miles. I really don’t know when I will be able to cross the vast Dafeichuan.” Li Kuo urged his horse to catch up and nodded.
Thirty thousand Tang cavalry marched urgently, although there was no need to worry about the small group of Tubo defenders, they also lost their agility and concealment advantages. The vast horses were exposed to the clear sky, and even the guards of the fortress along the way were blind.
However, they don’t have to worry about blocking. Apart from the 10,000 left-behind defenders in Dafeichuan, there are almost no genuine guards in this generation. Overcoming this hurdle, there is a flat plateau meadow, and everyone can reach the fastest speed.
Under Jiuqu City, the defenders of Chiling returned to the rescue!
However, the mountain roads of Dafeiling generation were indeed difficult to walk. Since everyone entered the ridge, they did not find a road as straight as the official road of the Tang Dynasty. Almost every dirt road was stepped on by hunters and herb collectors. After the heavy rain, they were
As soon as it was washed away, the soft soil overturned and turned into a stream of mud. Everyone didn't care at first, but stepped in with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but it really made their ankles.
Li Kuo was secretly glad to bring Lin Feng, a veteran of Longyou. If he had not been a guide, everyone would not even be able to recognize the direction after entering the dense forest! Don’t look at the mountain road leading forward, if no one was leading, most outsiders would have to be in the mountain nest.
Circle in the sub.
What's even more terrifying is that this wilderness is filled with fast sand that eats people. At first glance, it looks like a flat mirror, but in fact it is a grinning with a knife hidden in a smile. According to Lin Feng, whether it is a hunter or a livestock
Wild beasts, who have stepped into the quicksand, have not seen anyone who can come out alive!
As the sun was gradually setting, everyone set up camp in front of a raised slope and set up tents. More than 200 white canvas tents were stretched one after another, and the sunset spread golden colors on it, which was quite spectacular.
The soldiers who had been in a hurry for a day obviously had no mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Since the commander Gao Xiuyan issued the order to camp, they collapsed on the ground like boneless jerky, gasping heavily.
"I said to Lao Wu, this thief is not afraid of breaking his legs after traveling for several days?" A Huo from the First Brigade of Tongwu Camp was gasping and complaining. He was from Liaodong, and he started talking.
Come with a strong nasal sound.
The old Wu moved his body a few times and said, "Who knows, I'll do it as I have given the orders. Brother Qi, you still don't understand the truth about being a soldier for so many years? But, I heard this time
We are the easiest to fight."
The man surnamed Qi spat and said, "Fuck! Who is the damn said it easy? Who is the damn thought it easy, he will fight? I, Lao San, don't want to make this military merit! Don't think that the main force of Tubo is under the influence of the main force.
We are at the front line of Chiling. We are urinating at the door of our house. We are alone and we are talking about us!"
Li Sheng patted the head of a man named Qi and said, "Old San Qi, don't pretend to understand. Going alone means that an isolated army goes deep into the enemy combat zone. We have left a way out, what are we afraid of?" He is now
The achievements of his success as the commander of the Sixth Brigade of Tongwu Camp have gradually gained the trust of the chief general Li Kuo and the admiration of everyone. The words he said are naturally very important.
Qi Laosan smiled brilliantly and stopped talking.
"I heard that all the Tubo women are very sexy. Most of their men are guarding the border and fighting outside, and they can't go home a few times a year. These women are so anxious that they can't even see a man.
No matter what, press it down on the spot and then vent the fire first!”
Seeing that he was bored, Old Wu took the initiative to make fun of him.
When Qi Laosan heard this, he became interested and moved his buttocks to the east and said, "What? Why are there such shameless bitches in the world? Why don't they come out to greet Master Wang? Brother,
I'm almost suffocating for a few days!" (Note 1)
Old Wu gave him a blank look and said, "How many women do you think are there in Tubo? Our 30,000 troops stepped over together, and they were still trying to death? It was just a crooked melon with pockmarks on his face, just as his butt
If you are round enough, you will probably be gnawed so much that you don’t even have bones left!”
"That's right, women still have to look at their feel. After it was dark, they covered the mat, and they were all leaning against the short two-inch hook-up between their legs?"
When Li Sheng heard them make jokes, he unconsciously moved his body to the side as he said the pornographic joke. He still defined himself as a Confucian general in his bones, and he could not accept such jokes.
......
Li Kuo leaned against the soil outside the tent and roasted the fire, thinking about the past for more than ten days.
During this march, Gao Xiuyan was the main general, and he was only listed as the deputy general.
According to the military ranking, it is natural, and Li Kuo will not complain in his heart. But what made him feel depressed was that his third brother Li Zigu was also in this army. He became the General of the Hexi Army, but the Tang Dynasty
The fourth-rank official was ruled by Gao Yanxiu because he was subordinate to the Hexi Army. Gao Xiuyan was just a guerrilla general. Although he had made contributions to defending Shenwei City, he was at most promoted to the same level as the third brother.
It wasn't because of his uncle Gao Xianzhi, that it wouldn't be his turn to command this army.
Although I knew that this was the result of compromise between the forces of all parties, I still felt disgusted. Could it be that the military achievements of the Tang Dynasty had been cut into pieces of large and small cut cakes, and allowed to be divided up by the forces of all parties? Could it be that 150,000 armored clothes?
Glory is ultimately a dream?
Although Gao Xiuyan treated him very kindly and friendly, the boy always felt that his attitude was too close and the smile on his face was too standard.
This professional smile made him feel weak, chilled, and tremble!
What worried the young men even more was the attitude of the soldiers. Perhaps because of the victory several times, they thought the war too easily. Even if everything went well and successfully forced the main force of Tubo to return to Jiuqu City, they also
It will lose many brothers.
A general succeeds in thousands of bones. Perhaps in the eyes of the general, the only value of these soldiers at the bottom is to use their dry bones to produce the great achievements of the generals, and to mark the great martial arts of the princes. What are the horses and corpses, and what are the glory and deaths on the battlefield?
It was just an excuse for the people in power to encourage soldiers to work hard for them. Half the city is smoke, sand and half the city is blood. The lives of these lower-level soldiers are not even as good as ants in the eyes of the people in power. They all regret that they teach their husbands to find a title, but they don’t know that these lower-level soldiers have all been involved in the lives of them.
There is no opportunity or power to be appointed as a marquis.
But they regard war as a play, as a play!
The moonlight is melting and spring is rippling. The sun and the moon return, and it can be sing or reunited.
Li Kuo suddenly remembered a poem that his grandfather often read to him when he was young: "A gentleman is in charge of his life, but he does not know the time, and a gentleman is in charge of his life, and he will not be in charge of his life, but not in charge of his life." (Note 2)
When the war is over, on the Lantern Festival, you can return to Chang'an and sit next to the old locust tree to drink the flower tea made by A Tian, right?
Note 1: The butt: local dialect, refers to the butt.
Note 2: From "The Book of Songs - A Gentleman in the Soldier". It expresses a woman's deep longing for her husband who fought in the garrison army.
ps: The cruelty of war lies in sacrifice. When you think you can find wealth, you find that you are just a stepping stone for others' success and a piece of pawn that you can use. Don't complain about the injustice of life, because life doesn't know what you are.
.What we need to do is to make ourselves stronger. This is the rule of the game. If we adapt, we will live; if we don’t adapt, we will die. It doesn’t matter whether we are right or wrong, we are always on the road.
