There are many steep mountains near Gansong Ridge, with cascading mountains and lush pine trees, making it look majestic and majestic.
Standing on the mountain ridge and looking far into the distance, you can see the mountains connected side by side like steamed buns in a cage.
The mountains are full of green pine forests covered with dragon scales. The spring has made the shrubs and grass under the pine trees covered in green, making them look lush and green.
If someone is in the jungle, the rich fragrance of pine oil will definitely make people feel refreshed.
On the grass, the little white rabbit ate the grass leisurely, but he saw the grass not far away moving as if it was alive.
This frightened the rabbit, but it did not run away. Instead, it was very interested in this strange phenomenon. It sniffed curiously, and saw the shadow of its hand flashing, and the rabbit disappeared into the grass.
Curiosity really killed the rabbit!
At this time, a whisper came.
"Sir, there is news from Phantom 9 that the Tibetan vanguard has arrived five miles away and will pass through Pine Ridge Canyon in a quarter of an hour. Their scouts are not far from here. Do you want to deal with them?"
At this time, the position where the rabbit was eating grass slowly lifted up, revealing a colorful face.
If you observe carefully, you can see that this is a resolute face, and you can vaguely recognize that this person is Yang Fan.
Just because the costume is so realistic, it has completely blended into the jungle.
As for why Yang Fan appeared in the narrow valley of Songling, twenty miles away from Gansongling, it had to start three days ago.
In order to find the lost King of Wu Li Ke, Yang Fan led his personal guards and 500 guardsmen to travel day and night to the place where Niu Jinda was defeated.
Unfortunately, after searching several mountains, no trace of Li Ke was found, and he was about to go to the Tubo camp to investigate.
However, they found that the Tubo army had divided into two groups and headed straight for Gansong Ridge, apparently hoping to break through Songzhou City and enter Yizhou.
So Yang Fan and everyone hurried to Gansong Ridge, hoping to find an opportunity to conduct a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, Songtsen Gampo's methods were extraordinary and he was very careful in marching. Every time the vanguard opened the way, several waves of scouts would be sent to investigate.
The commander's camp was even more unstable, so even after following him for hundreds of miles, he still couldn't find a chance to take action.
I saw the corner of Yang Fan's lips twitching: "Don't alert the enemy yet, send the order and let the group of new recruits be hidden by me. If they are discovered by the scouts, I will see if I will peel off their skins."
there's no way!
Songtsen Gampo was very good at marching. The central army would not set off until the forward troops were sure to be safe. There were also 30,000 cavalry to break up the rear. He obviously understood the essence of the art of war.
As long as something is wrong, the rear army can turn to the front army and leave quickly. Even if they are attacked, they can take care of each other.
There was a burst of bird chirping, which resonated in the forest, but it soon became quiet, as if nothing happened. At this timeliNgshUF*Zhang Si
After a while, a soldier dressed in tight clothes looked around cautiously with a dagger in his hand, and had already arrived at Yang Fan's hiding place.
One, two, three...
Seven waves of people passed by at once, but no one noticed anything strange at their feet.
Yang Fan didn't dare to move and cursed secretly.
This Songtsen Gampo is too careful!
No wonder the rebellion within and outside Tibet could be unified within a few years. strong sacrifice reading sacrifice
As the Tibetan scouts gave the safety signal, the advance army marched through the Pine Ridge Canyon.
By the time the Tibetan army had passed through, the sky had gradually darkened, and the sunset was casting its afterglow, making the entire pine forest a fiery red.

Jiumo Tuhamode rode his horse and stood on the mountainside on the west side of the canyon. He looked at the slowly marching army in front of him from a distance, but he didn't think so.
In his opinion, there was no need to be so careful.
Because the scouts came to report, Hou Junji's main army did not come to rescue at all.
The 80,000 Tibetan warriors will definitely be able to fight with overwhelming force.
There are only a few thousand Tang troops guarding Gansong Ridge now. How dare the Tang troops divide their forces to attack them secretly? This is making a fuss out of a molehill.
It is now the end of May, and the weather is getting hotter. The heat mixed with humidity makes Jiumo and Tuhamo extremely uncomfortable riding.
He also wanted to end the battle and return to Tubo before the scorching heat!
As the leader of the Songtsen Gampo Guards, his comfortable life made him lose his original fighting spirit, and he couldn't stand the humidity and heat.
The armor on his body has been taken off, and his clothes have also been lifted up, revealing his strong chest.
On the exposed chest, there is a tattoo of a black and blue wolf head. The totem is looking up to the sky with its mouth open and howling, making it look lifelike.
If you look closely, you will find that this tattoo is very similar to the pattern on the military flag. This is the totem of the Tubo Wolf Cavalry, representing the most elite troops of Tubo.
The reason why Jiumo Tuhamode was able to get such a tattoo was because his family was prominent.
Even Songtsen Gampo ascended to the position of Zampu only with the support of his family.
From Jiumo Tuhamode's point of view, Songtsen Gampo was now a little alienated. Every time he went out to fight with the Wolf Cavalry, he could only stay behind, which made him resentful.
Although the sunset was gorgeous, it fell very quickly. After a while, the sky became dark.
The mountain where Jiumo Tuhamode is located is very high. In addition to seeing a string of torches rising in front of him, if he stops and looks far away, he can also see the faint light of fire in the distance.
Obviously, that was the light coming from the Tang Army's garrison in Gansong Ridge.
As long as he passed the Pine Ridge Canyon, he would be able to face the Gansong Ridge defenders not far away, which made him feel itchy.
Now he has long forgotten Songtsen Gampo's orders.
After spitting, Jiumo Tuhamo complained angrily: "I don't want to fight against the Tang army, but let our wolf cavalry cut off the queen. I really don't know what the king thinks?"
"The scouts searched Shandu several times, but they didn't find Tang Jun at all. Besides, couldn't Tang Jun still fly behind us? We were too careful."
"Well, there are only a few thousand defenders in Gansong Ridge. If the wolf cavalry knocks on the pass, it will frighten the Tang army out of their courage. It's a pity. You only get the credit..."
Jiumo and Tuhamode obviously did not take Tang Jun seriously.
It’s no wonder that in the past few years, the Tubo army has been conquering east and west, with no success whatsoever.
In the past, as long as he led his army to charge towards the other side, he would surrender. This made Jiumo Tuhamo feel a little arrogant.
He believed that it would be the same this time. Even if the Tang army controlled the fortress pass, the Tibetan army could come and go freely.
More importantly, Ludongzan and his son gained more and more trust from Songtsen Gampo.
Gar Qin Ling Zan Zhuo Geng took the lead in the battle and defeated the Tang Army's vanguard camp. This made Jiumo Tuhamo sit still. He only wanted to make military exploits and suppress Lu. Dongzan and his son.
Thinking of this, Jiumo Tuhamo's mouth twitched, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. His eyes were dark and cold, shining with a faint cold light in the deserted night. Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
At this time, Lieutenant General Langqi rode his horse to Jiumo Tuhamode's side and asked: "General, the camp has been arranged. You can go and rest for the time being. I will go and arrange inspections first."
Jiumo Tuhamo glanced at the deputy general coldly. He knew that this deputy general was sent by Songtsan Gampo, who was as timid as Zanpu...
"Just one person from one battalion will be on duty tonight. The others will take off their armor and have a good rest. We will start camp at five o'clock tomorrow and rush to Gansong Ridge."
The lieutenant general hurriedly dissuaded him: "General, Zanpu has ordered that the army camp for a rest and must be guarded at one post every five steps to prevent the Tang army from sneaking attacks. Moreover, the sergeants can only lie down with their clothes on and keep their swords in their hands; besides, the wolf cavalry is the front of the rear army." If we attack the key points, wouldn’t we be violating the king’s military order?”
