The first line of defense built by the Tang army is located at the junction of the two longitudinal alleys of Shuanglong Valley, which is a natural gap.
Although the trench more than ten feet wide could not completely block the Tubo people who regained their fighting spirit, it could slow down the speed of the Tubo people's attack. Shuanglong Valley looked in the shape of an inverted gourd from a distance, and this trench was the neck of the gourd.
The spacious and open valley narrowed rapidly in this trench, allowing more than one hundred people to pass through at the same time.
Although the Tubo people had a clear advantage in absolute military strength, they had to divide into several hundred teams in front of this narrow trench. In this way, their numerical advantage was gone, and they could only be stabbed by gravel.
The risk of the Tang army was engaged in one-on-one hand-to-hand combat.
Relying on the advantage of the terrain, the Tang army first used feather arrows to kill the enemy and defeat their sharpness. When most of the Tubo people entered the trench, they sprinkled tung oil, ignited a firewall to block the enemy. After this strategic deployment, the three pioneers were the three
Most of the soldiers were killed and injured. It was difficult for the soldiers to climb up after jumping into the trench. They often burned into ashes before they touched the foot of the Tang army. The thousand-man Tubo leader cried and shouted and knelt down at the Governor of Jiuqu.
Sizang asked for sufficient reinforcements. On the one hand, Aiszang was angry at the incompetence of the commander, but on the other hand, he gritted his teeth at the Tang army. After thinking about it, he still assigned the commander two thousand people and ordered him to spend half an hour
Take down the trench inside, otherwise you will come and see you.
The commander of the thousand-man was so scared that he rushed to the trench and simply did not stop and pushed all his troops in. Maybe the enemy's turbulence was used up, maybe the Tang people's feather arrows were exhausted, everyone
When the son was about to climb the gentle slope covered with sand, the Tang army suddenly called out to withdraw and retreated to the rear.
On the one hand, the commander of Tubo was glad that he had completed the task, but on the other hand, he hated the Tang people's retreat without fighting. He burned to death and shot his brothers who had been here to death, and ran away without saying a word?
But he didn't have time to think about these twists and turns. At the command of the Governor, the Tubo Central Army immediately climbed into the trench with a team of thousands of people. The ambush that the officers unanimously expected did not appear, and they jumped into the first soldier.
The last soldier climbed up the hill from the trench, and the Tang army did not shoot a feather arrow from beginning to end!
Could it be that the Tang people really withdrew their troops?
It is absolutely impossible! How could they give up so easily when they traveled all the way to this Jiuqu City?
"I will order you to guard your marches and protect Zamp's safety!" Governor Eszang frowned and finally issued an order to set off.
......
In the second half of the night, the veterans in the Tongwu Camp were hungry and tired. The fierce battle squeezed their physical strength. The porridge and chewed cakes they had eaten at noon were not enough to make up their stomachs!
Exhaustion and sleepiness were written on their faces, but no one complained. Because they knew that they could not retreat, and victory or defeat in this battle, and if they failed, they would be successful.
Retreat? Where to retreat? Behind them is Shibao City, the Thirteen Prefectures of Longyou, and the villagers and relatives of the Tang Dynasty! Do you have to put tens of thousands of men out of their armor and welcome the barbarians into China? Do you want them to
He said to his women and children in shame, "We have no future and cannot protect you, so we have to send you to the Tubo people."
Besides, the purpose of the Tubo people is just to occupy Longyou? They really have the ambition to divide the Tang Dynasty!
This battle is no longer for the sake of one family, but for the Tang Dynasty, and for the thousands of ordinary people!
If you keep this pass, you will be able to defend the possibility of the Tang Dynasty recovering Hehuang, and you will be able to defend the hope of revenge and avenge the shame of the Tang people!
The Battle of Dafeichuan has become an eternal pain in the hearts of every Tang army soldier. They will not let the tragedy happen again!
A man’s duty is to protect his wife, children, home and all the precious and worth cherishing!
Why? With the horizontal sword in their hands, a bow and a pot of arrows!
A man should kill someone, kill one person in ten steps, and he will not stay for a thousand miles! (Note 1) Even a literati like Li Taibai said this. As a soldier who defends his home, can people still be looked down upon?
The person who was killed was not someone else, but an enemy, an irreconcilable enemy! Tens of thousands of robes, the heroic spirits of the village party were watching from the sky. How could everyone not be a man?
Compared to the deep and handsomeness of the trench, this deer firewood temporarily built with dead wood seems a little thin. Thousands of white wolf warriors were ambushed on the stone platforms on both sides of the deer firewood. With just one order,
The ability to send thousands of arrows at the same time gave the Tubo people an effective blow. However, even so, the pressure from the Tongwu veterans to deal with it head-on is still quite high. After all, there are tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side, and after all, they are Tubo people known for their fierceness and courage!
"Prince Li, Master Duwei really only asked us to wait for three hours?" Pu Dahui stared at Li Sheng in disbelief, his eyes widening into ripe round dates.
"Three hours, after three hours, even if the Tubo people did not break Lu Chai, we would 'defeat' to the gravel ditch." Li Sheng nodded and said softly.
"I'm afraid of a ball. With my old Pu here, I wouldn't let a barbarian slip by. If they thought about it, they would step over my old Pu's body!" Pu Dahui complained angrily, and the smell of gunpowder in his words was like a word.
Quanzhong. At first, he abandoned the trench, and now he is abandoned. Where should he retreat and where should he hide?
Li Sheng shrugged helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Of course I know that General Pu is extremely brave, but since Lord Duwei has given the order, we will go and execute it. I believe you are more clear than me. Besides, Yidu
Lord Wei’s wisdom must have a clever plan, we just do what we should do.”
"Oh!" Pu Dahui's chest was full of depression and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "My old Pu is most annoying to you about the twists and turns. If I ask me to say that when fighting, I should fight with the knife. Let's see whose weapons are sharp and their fists are hard.
!”
"In this way, this task will be handed over to Brother Sledgehammer!" Li Sheng did not want to get entangled with him, so he simply agreed to give him a small benefit.
"Then you are optimistic, how did I, Old Pu, kill people!" Pu Dachu raised his eyebrows, his voice full of confidence.
"There is fire, there is fire!" A scout saw the sparks rising in the distance and hurriedly shouted. As usual, the trench was not far from the second Luchai line, and the Tubo people could not use it when they arrived here.
It took so long. However, considering their tens of thousands of people and their concerns about the safety of Zampo Chide Zuzan, it is not difficult to understand.
Tubo is taking every step of the way. They believe that they can break through the Tang army's blockade steadily, and they don't take everyone seriously at all!
All Tang soldiers were so despised, and if Li Sheng had not been explicitly banned, he would have been afraid that the soldiers who were already in a hurry would have picked up their swords and passed Lu Chai!
Alas, these soldiers are still too young. Li Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. Although most of the soldiers of the Tongwu Camp were old men who followed Li Kuo all the way, they had not experienced a battle of tens of thousands of people and were dealing with the enemy.
Not mature enough in mind.
When marching and fighting, it is important to be steady and steady, and it is most taboo to act in a state of mind. If a general and a commander are reckless men who only have passion and no wisdom, then it will not only harm themselves.
Although I am not as experienced as these "veterans", I still have some understanding of these subtle and profound meanings after reading military books. We must not believe in military books and military books.
"I'll ask everyone to prepare the crossbow and wait for my order!" Li Sheng looked at the increasingly dense spots of light in the distance and gave the order.
......
Under the mountains of the southern Chiling vein, the moon is cold and the stars are sparse, and the 60,000 soldiers led by Turkic general Abus have gathered.
In addition to the 30,000 Tongluo cavalry in his headquarters, Geshuhan also allocated him 30,000 elite Hexi. As an important chess piece on the Hehuang battle chessboard, Abus played an irreplaceable role in Geshuhan.
First of all, among the tens of thousands of Tang troops, only his and Luo Tie Cavalry had extremely strong mobility and could rush to the Chiling South Line as fast as possible to restrain the defenders of Wanxiu.
Secondly, Abus has extremely strong political significance. Although he was born in the northern Turkic Republic, he had very many connections in the court and had contacts with several officials. If he could not help but make such a great contribution, Geshuhan would not be able to
Explaining to these important members in the court will destroy the intricate interest relationship.
Therefore, Yu Gong and Yu Private Brother Shu Han had to make Abus the commander of this Tang army and make the greatest military achievements at the lowest cost.
Abus naturally knew this clearly, so he dared not sell Geshuhan's face at all. He is also a governor of the same town, why is Abus who is a bit shorter than Geshuhan? There is no such reason in the world!
However, as a military general, he did not dare to openly disobey Geshuhan's order. He knew clearly the importance of the Hehuang Battle to the Tang Dynasty and the significance of the Holy Emperor in the Daming Palace. Therefore, he
We adopted the most reliable and intriguing attack method - to surround without attacking.
Didn’t his brother Shuhan hope that he would restrain the Tubo army of Wanxiu for a generation, so he tied these Tubo people firmly to the southern line of Chiling. But if he wanted to take the initiative, it would be impossible!
"Master, a beacon fire has been lit among the ridges in the north!" An adjutant pointed at the blue-gray ridge and said in a deep voice.
"The best thing is to burn mountains and rivers, why are we in a hurry?" Abus said with half-squinted eyes: "The wolf is not sure that it will never show its sharp claws to the prey, and let them hit it first.
, Isn’t it a good thing for us to reap the benefits of the fisherman here?”
Note 1: Li Bai's poem "The Legend of the Knights" was written in the 14th year of Kaiyuan. It should be written with great enthusiasm! The spirit of the knights in the prosperous Tang Dynasty reflects a high degree of openness and confidence.
ps: The climax is coming soon, everyone will wait and see!
