Noon in Tuyuhun
The blazing sun bakes the earth
A sand lizard hides at the door of its cave. This cold-blooded animal likes the hot sunshine very much. It can maintain its body temperature by beating the sun.
It fantasizes about whether it can find a favorite of its kind to reproduce the next generation.
The gravel on the ground suddenly jumped.
The lizards who were still imagining instantly hid in their caves, using their small eyes to quietly look at the direction of the source of the vibration.
Da da da
What followed was the heavy and numerous sound of horse hooves.
From the dark armor and waving flags, it can be seen that these are Tibetan cavalry, if there are tens of thousands of them.
This is the vanguard of the Tubo people
The leader was none other than Dorje, the subordinate who almost embarrassed Sambuza.
Dorje's full name is Pema Dorje. Dorje means King Kong in Tibetan. He does not insult the name of King Kong. He is more than eight feet tall and has a strong body. His whole body seems to be two triangles connected together.
He has a full beard, a bronze helmet on his head, a strong body wearing a set of heavy cavalry armor, a strong arm holding a mace, and a group of fiery red horses riding on horses, walking in the entire team. the forefront.
A team of sentinels came to report
yu
a roar
Duoji reined in the war horse
The sentinel came and saluted Duoji: "General Duoji, according to the information from the people in Tuyuhun, this small valley is the Jinshui City of the Tang Dynasty."
"Jinshui City? Here's the map?"
Dorje's subordinates handed over a map made of sheepskin. Dorje reached out and opened it, which was full of Tibetan language. Dorje took a look at the beautiful words on the map and said, "Send a thousand people across the valley to explore the situation, and then send a team back to tell you." Lord Sambuza our place”
"yes"
jiajiajia
Dorje waved his thousands of subordinates to separate from the team, and rushed into the valley with his subordinates without hesitation.
Duoji was waiting for others to stand and watch, and found that his thousands of generals led the team to approach the mouth of the valley without any hindrance.
Went in
No time to stop
Duoji frowned and thought: Something is wrong. This is the most suitable place to intercept him outside Jinshui City. Lord Sambuza has mentioned this place many times, otherwise he would not have sent him here in person.
"Sir, didn't Gam's thousand men pass smoothly? Is there anything wrong?"
Duoji explained to his subordinates: "Master Sambuza once said that this is the last barrier to Jinshui City. The Tang people must set up an ambush here. Now Gamu's people should not pass by like this."
"Master Duoji, has the Tang Dynasty not reacted yet?"
"No, you have seen the outposts we passed by"
“I’ve seen it before”
"There's no one around, and the smoke has been lit to prove they know we're coming."
"Then what should adults do?"
Duoji thought for a moment: "Lazong sent your hundred-man team to investigate."
Razon: "Yes"
Razong rode back to his group of thousands and pointed at one of the hundred: "Go in and explore."
"yes"
The centurion team left the team and entered the valley mouth safely again and gradually disappeared in the eyes of Duoji and others.
call
A gust of wind blows
Under the blazing sunshine, the rolling heat waves from the ground floated into the air.
Duoji suddenly felt that this valley was once again the mouth of a giant beast, and the people he had just discharged in seemed to be meat sent to the mouth of the giant beast.
Duoji quickly opened the map, observed it carefully, pointed at the two sides of Xiaogu and asked his deputy: "Yangzong, do you still remember what the Tyuhun people said about the passages on these two sides?"
Yangzong scratched his head: "The Tuyuhun people said that it is difficult to walk on both sides. There are many forked roads and ravines on both sides. If an ambush is set up here, thousands of people can block ten thousand people inside."
Duoji thought for a moment: "Then the Tuyuhun people said that people can be hidden here?"
Yangzong thought for a while: "It seems that he said that it is no problem to hide thousands of people."
not good
Dorje shouted: "Withdraw"
Several of Dorji's subordinates, Yangzong and Lazong, did not react for a moment and looked at Dorji in confusion.
Woo woo woo
Before Duoji could respond to his doubts, a melodious horn sounded.
It’s the horn sound of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty
Then the deafening sound of horse hooves came from all directions.
When he turned around and wanted to leave, the sentinel from the rear of the cavalry team came to Duoji's side quickly.
"General Duoji, a group of Tang Dynasty cavalry appeared behind us, numbering no less than three thousand."
The sentinels on the left and right quickly came to Duoji's side.
"General Duoji, a group of Tang cavalry appeared behind our left wing, numbering no less than three thousand."
"General Duoji, a group of Tang Dynasty cavalry appeared on our right wing, numbering no less than three thousand."
"General Duoji, a group of Tang Dynasty cavalry appeared on our right flank, numbering no less than three thousand."
"General Duoji, another group of Tang cavalry appeared on our left wing, numbering no less than three thousand."
Duoji's eyes almost popped out. He cursed secretly and roared: "Damn it, prepare for war."
Only then did Yangzong and Lazong's subordinates realize that they were actually surrounded.
Several people rode their horses one after another to join the cavalry team directly under their command, gathering their subordinates to stabilize the morale of the army.
Zhang Liao stood on the sand dune far away, watching Duoji's reaction from a distance and praised: "The Tubo forward is a wise man, this time it is a tough battle."
Feiyu nodded: "Yes, if the opponent turned around and ran away at the beginning, none of these cavalry would survive. I didn't expect that he would form a circle. This would make it difficult for us to attack."
Zhang Liao smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's not easy to start, but my Tang Dynasty's crossbows are not vegetarian. Such a dense circular formation will only consume more arrows."
Feiyu: "But General, if you consume too many arrows, there will be too many variables when fighting the main force of the Tubo people."
Zhang Liao patted Feiyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I asked the soldiers to bring an extra pot of arrows when I came this time."
Feiyu's face turned red. It seemed that he was still far behind General Zhang Liao. People had known about this kind of thing for a long time, but he didn't know it yet.
Perhaps because he could see Fei Yu's embarrassment, Zhang Liao comforted him: "Fei Yu, you are still young, not even 20 years old. If you can join the staff of a million-strong army, you can see your talent and courage. You are short of nothing." It’s just experience. As time goes by, it will definitely surpass me.”
Feiyu didn't say anything, but the other staff members were unhappy. They were all selected from millions of troops. Why was Feiyu so good?
Zhang Liao turned to look at the group of staff officers around him: "You are the same. In time, you will definitely be the pillars of our Tang Dynasty. You have planned this battle very well. Next, it is time to collect military merits."
Zhang Liao mounted his horse and pointed his gun downward: "Gentlemen, do you dare to charge forward with me and let the Tubo people know the military might of the Tang Dynasty?"
Finished speaking
Zhang Liao rushed down the sand dune with his horse...
