Seeing the lights in front of him, Jia Hui knew he had reached his destination, and immediately drew out the two short spears from his back.

The spear blade was thicker and more durable than the knife blade, and it was longer than the knife. The throwing effect was also great. Jia Hui, who was rushing at the front, decided to use a short spear to clear the way.

Seeing a short soldier with a duck voice running out of the house and yelling, Jia Hui didn't take it seriously. He was already close to his face, and they had no time to react.

He raised his right hand and threw it, and the short spear passed through the chest of the short sentry. The sound stopped suddenly. The soldier involuntarily stepped back a few steps. Jia Hui had already rushed in front of him.

With a casual grab and pull, the short spear returned to his hand, and the wave of people who followed him drowned the soldier with his chest wide open.

The timing was perfect. As soon as a few unlucky guys went out wearing clothes and holding knives, their throats were slit by the tip of the spear, bringing out a long stream of blood.

According to Asl, the barracks and Qianhu's house are in the middle of the town, and the Qianhu garrison itself also performs the duties of the local chief official.

According to the plan, Niu Zhao and Ma Lin should have surrounded the south and east of the city, followed by Shui Che to surround the north.

He entered from the west of the city, blocked the way and killed people, and went straight into the enemy's camp.

No matter how dull the soldier was, he could hear the muffled sound that was approaching. Qianhu, who was walking around in his yard, had already put on his armor, rushed out of the courtyard with a knife and ran to the military camp.

It was too late to lead the horse.

The Tibetan soldiers in the military camp also hurriedly put on their armor. Qianhu stopped them and retreated to a corner of the military camp, forming a defensive cavalry formation.

Many people forgot their shields in the barracks, but based on experience, everyone chose a long gun, smashed the ground with the butt of the gun until a small crater was made, and placed the butt of the gun in the small crater with the head of the gun facing forward. tilt.

Jia Hui, who discovered their behavior from the real-time map, immediately threw the two spears on the ground, drew out the big bow, raised the bow above his head, and slowed down his horse.

The people behind him understood and picked up their bows and arrows from their sides.

Soon, he entered the camp gate.

The firelight illuminated the Tibetan soldiers who were arrayed with their guns raised. Jia Hui also saw them and immediately turned his horse and ran to one side. The cavalry behind him were also experienced and leaned sideways. Soon more than a thousand people lined up horizontally. A few lines, bow and arrow.

"Shoot!" Jia Hui spit out the wooden ball in his mouth and shouted.

Without taking aim, the four lines of cavalry shot the arrows on their bows, shot two more arrows, put the bows back into the quiver, dismounted and drew their swords. Some good archers even shoot several arrows in a row.

The soldiers who had not entered from the back also dismounted and squeezed into the yard, and those holding long weapons accelerated their pace and ran to the front.

As for why I no longer shoot arrows.

When Tubo Qianhu saw that the enemy did not intend to attack them, but wanted to shoot from a distance, they ordered a change of formation. The entire team trotted towards Jia Hui and others in an attack formation.

After three rounds of arrows, there were probably more than 600 people left.

Jia Hui also ordered the entire army to dismount, and ordered the spearmen to line up in front, and ordered the shooters with good shooting skills to snipe the enemy troops in the rear.

The Tibetan soldiers also knew that they were going to annihilate them all.

It’s not certain who will lose and who will win!

Jia Hui waved his hand, and some more soldiers holding shields ran out from the barracks on both sides. They stood together with the shield bearers of the headquarters.

Damn it!

Thousands of Tubo families saw that both sides still had five steps to go, and it was too late to change their formation.

All I have to do is have courage.

"Stab!" Jia Hui and Tubo Qianhu gave the same order.

In an instant, spears were stabbed randomly, and screams continued.

The Tibetan casualties were even greater.

Since we had no shieldmen to cover us, most of the spearmen in the front rows died on the spot.

Jia Hui's side was covered by shields, and his casualties were less than one-tenth of those on the opposite side.

"Shoot!" At the command, the shooters standing behind immediately fired a volley.

There are not many gunners left.

Only the Sword and Shield Hands are left.

Yes, there are still a few people with shields, but a few shields are not enough to form a defense.

The spearmen laughed ferociously, picked up their spears, and lined up horizontally to approach the remaining Tibetan soldiers.

Tubo soldiers were stabbed to death constantly.

Qianhu had lost all will to resist, but seeing Paoze constantly falling, he still had his own pride as he was born in a branch of the Great Khan's mother clan.

There were only a dozen people left. Jia Hui called for a halt, and the soldiers also stopped advancing to make a way for Jia Rang.

"ah!"

Tubo Qianhu shouted loudly and rushed towards Jia Hui with a waist knife in hand.

Jia Hui pulled out a short spear from his back and walked forward casually.

Thousands of households in Tubo are getting closer and closer to me.

Seeing that the enemy army did not stop him, Qianhu also understood.

He took a deep breath and let out the loudest roar in his life. He clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, as if he had poured all his strength into it.

Jia Hui finally took action.

Jia Hui held the short spear tightly, and when Tubo Qianhu was about to see him, he used his skill to move to the right and deflected the blade that was attacking him.

Raising his hand slightly, his wrist was facing upwards, and the tip of the spear was pointing backwards. Tubo Qianhu hit the spear blade.

Tubo Qianhu was staggered by the inertia and was about to fall forward. Suddenly, he felt his throat being scratched by something cold, and there was a stinging pain, and a stream of heat continued to flow down his neck.

After all, he still couldn't stabilize his body. Tubo Qianhu covered his neck and fell to the ground. The knife in his hand was thrown to an unknown place.

Clearly feeling the passage of life, Tubo Qianhu covered his neck even harder.

After struggling for a while, there was no movement. Still clutching his neck tightly.

Jia Hui and others ignored him and sent people to inform the other three troops that the battle was over.

He sat on the maza again and listened to the casualties.

"Reporting to the general, our army has a total of ninety-eight casualties, of which 28 were killed in battle, the remaining 60 were injured, and the casualties of the other three units are unknown."

Jia Hui is still very satisfied with this casualty situation.

The sneak attack resulted in heavy casualties, so we might as well just go back home.

Soon, various ministries also brought people into the military camp.

There were no deaths in the remaining three groups, but there were about twenty injured.

They were mainly injured by officers and servants living outside the military camp who ran out during the chaos.

It would be outrageous to kill a few or even dozens of people out of a thousand.

Now we just wait for Shi Yuanxiu to come back with the remaining troops.

The sun came out, and this small town also changed its owner.

Daqi's Sanchen flag is flying in the wind on the flagpole of the military camp.

. . . . . .

Except for Liu Gao's troops who were cleaning the battlefield, Jia Hui's headquarters, the main attacking force, had cleared their barracks early and went in to rest. The remaining two tribes each left a hundred households to guard the outside, and the rest came to the west of the city.

Jia Hui turned his back to the morning sun, sitting on the horse and drinking meat porridge.

The gang leader has already delivered today's breakfast. There is nothing else, just the meat porridge that everyone carries with them and the wooden bucket and put it in the water to heat.

The two men who led the way yesterday came over.

A young Ye Busuo walked up to Jia Hui and whispered a few words. Jia Hui raised his head, drank the remaining porridge in a few mouthfuls, tilted his head to the left, and looked at the locked hut.

"Knock on the door."

Do not accept orders at night.

Inside the house, several people stayed up all night, fearing that snoring would attract attention.

Give anyone who wants to sleep a slap in the face.

I was so worried until dawn.

It was almost reaching its limit, and even the veteran didn't notice the noise coming from more than two thousand people eating outside.

"Dong dong dong, open the door!"

There were three loud bangs as if the door was being hammered open, and to a few people it felt like they had been punched three times in the chest.

The veteran heard the sound of calling the door and finally figured out who the enemy was.

They are Han people, now they are called Qi people.

The veteran remembered that when he was young, he went north to Hexi with the Khan to plunder and was beaten back. The Qi people had such an accent.

Although he couldn't understand what the people outside were saying, the veteran quickly opened the door latch.

He raised his hands above his head and took a few steps forward without even raising his head. He knelt on the ground again and bowed to the ground.

The few people behind him also imitated the veteran's behavior and knelt down on the ground in the same way. One person couldn't hold back his curiosity and raised his head to glance at Jia Hui on the horse before lowering his head again.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the man fell to the ground. There was a still trembling arrow stuck between his eyebrows. The bone at the arrowhead has sunk in a piece.

Ma Lin, who was standing behind Jia Hui, put down the bow in his hand and glanced at Asir, who understood.

"Lower your head! You answer whatever I ask, otherwise, the person behind you will be your fate!" Asr shouted in Tubo at the kneeling people.

The veteran replied immediately.

Life or death is a matter of a thought, there can be no hesitation.

"Young people must know everything they know!"

Asr nodded and looked back at Jia Hui. Jia Hui thought about it. We found a few capable people who could understand the Tibetan language and took a prisoner separately for interrogation.

"You ask him, how often do these people contact the east, how far are they from Bangor, and how many people are there?"

Asr immediately relayed it to the veteran in Tubo.

The veteran immediately replied: "To tell you what, Sir, I just contacted Bangor three days ago. The next contact will be in twelve days. The road will be at least more than 1,200 miles. The horse racing lasts for at least seven days. I don't know how small the number of people is, but it is not as good as in previous years." too much."

After saying that, he lay down even lower.

Asr translated the veteran's words to Jia Hui, and stood aside after speaking. Jia Hui glanced at the man next to him, Ye Busuo, who nodded slightly.

Jia Hui felt relieved.

Asr really surrendered sincerely.

After asking a few more questions and the veteran answered them one by one, Jia Hui stopped asking.

The veteran finally had a chance to observe his surroundings. He didn't move his head and only looked around with his eyes.

It turned out to be a fully armored army!

The veterans are envious. There are not enough materials on the plateau, and the Tubo people are not enough. Especially when the Heshuote people came in nearly a hundred years ago and killed the last Tibetan Zanpu, they even squeezed the living space of the Tubo people. .

Especially when King Khan was young, he went north to Hetao and was defeated by the Qi people, and a large number of weapons and equipment were lost in Hetao.

Now, even a piece of rusty iron armor that was made in the Tubo period at least two hundred years ago is being fought over and bloody.

A garrison like him would be happy for a long time even if he was assigned leather armor.

They are all in armor!

The Central Plains is too rich.

As for the puddle of meat mixed with rags and marked with horse hoof prints on the right front, the veteran ignored it.

Not long after, several Yebushou came back from the interrogation and gave a pair of confessions, but there were not many discrepancies.

A large army appeared in the distance. Jia Hui stood up and looked ahead.

Shi Yuanxiu and others arrived.

After nearly four months of high-intensity marching, we finally gained a firm foothold on the plateau.

The surprise attack force can finally take a break.
