Chapter 613: Armageddon!
Chapter 613
The water problem of the Annan Protector Army was now quite serious, and the surprise attack of Daqin Ruozan had an effect, and almost on the same day, there was not much water available in Wang Chong's army.
And now, even high-ranking generals like Luo Ji have rough skin and chapped lips, which shows how serious the water source problem of the Annan Protector Army is.
The number of fires in the current Annan Protector Army is not even one-tenth of the previous one, and the drinking water of the war horses has been controlled to the limit.
The morale of the army has long been falling again and again, and the people are panicking, but at this time, Daqin Ruozan still uses drinking water to interfere with the Annan capital army every day.
"It's a simple trick, but it's quite effective. We don't have a good way to deal with it!"
The eagle looked down the hill and worried.
Now the water source problem in Datang has long been no secret, and even the shield soldiers at the bottom know that there is not much water in the barracks. Daqin Ruozan asked people to bathe and wash horses with water in front of the battle every day, which provoked everyone.
There was already a severe lack of water, and in this case, everyone felt that their lips were getting more and more chapped and their hearts were getting more and more thirsty.
It's a completely uncontrolled instinctive reaction.
Even if everyone understands that this is a life-and-death battlefield, this reaction is completely uncontrollable.
Now people's hearts are floating, and the eagle can feel this impetuousness and restlessness when he stands on the top of the mountain, and the feeling in his heart can be imagined.
"Kill the horses!"
Wang Zheng said abruptly.
"What?"
The eagle was stunned, unable to react in his mind.
"Kill some horses and quench your thirst with their blood. This is the only expedient measure at the moment. ”
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"However, without the war horse, what will the childe's plan do? Moreover, there are not many war horse instincts in the Annan Protector Army now. ”
The eagle looked stunned. He never expected that Wang Chong would suddenly propose such a strategy.
In the previous wars, the cavalry troops on the top of the mountain reserved by Wang Chong played a huge role, and it can even be said that they played a key role in turning the battlefield around. The most elite "Dragon Legion" led by Feng Jiayi almost chiseled through all the Tang Dynasty's front and killed all the way to the top of the mountain.
In the end, it was Wang Chong's cavalry who used a surprise attack to seize a flaw and cut off the front and back of the Dragon Legion before and after, so as to break his edge. More than a third of the Fengzi Legion was killed in the battle, and even Feng Jiayi almost died on the mountain.
- if it weren't for his men escorting him to flee desperately.
Datang has no war horses, which is equivalent to a lot less room for maneuver.
"It's okay to slaughter a part. Now it's possible to procrastinate day by day. Now it's a question of who can hold out longer. Tell me that now the daily drink is calculated by drops. Never consume a single drop of water unless necessary. ”
Wang Chong said.
An army of 60,000 people, supplied with water by the drip every day, is simply unimaginable for a regular army. But now there is no way out. If it had been the previous one, this would have caused a huge panic.
But now, after Daqin Ruozan's incessant rendering, it's okay.
This is also a mistake and a wrong move.
"The subordinate understood. ”
The eagle nodded.
"In addition, Daqin Ruozan's current situation is not better than ours!"
Under the flagpole, Wang Chong looked at the opposite side and suddenly laughed.
Daqin Ruozan worked hard, and every day he poured water at the foot of the mountain, pot by pot, bag by bag, and bucket by bucket at the foot of the mountain, washing horses, and bathing.
But in his own situation, Wang Chong didn't even have to do anything, he didn't have to follow suit, it was already messy enough.
If you are short of water, you can save a little.
I used to have one bag a day, but now I use it twice a day, five or six drops each time, and seven or eight drops are enough. But what if you don't have beef and mutton and can't get used to the food of the farming people?
Let the people who eat beef and mutton every day eat rice, eat vegetables, that is, "grass" in their eyes!
If it were someone else, they might be able to survive, but the Tibetans were known for their fierceness, bravery, and aggressiveness, and they were not the kind of people who could contain their temperament.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at it, the front of the large array was calm. But the rear of the Mongolian-Ukrainian coalition army has long been in turmoil. Even from such a distance, Wang Chong could hear the quacking sound in the distance.
Within a day, as far as Wang Chong's eyes could see, there had been at least seventeen or eighteen fights, all of which were between Mengwu soldiers. Wang Chong could guess that the Wusi Tibetans were short of food, and they must have hit the idea on the Wusi Tibetans.
- After all, nominally, Mengwu is an ally, and Uszang sent troops for the sake of Mengshe's edict.
It's a pity that the two sides don't understand the language, so this has become a simple vexatious trouble, deliberately looking for trouble, and even a big fight, and the estrangement is getting deeper and deeper.
If this continues, Wang Chong doesn't even have to do anything, he can see that Mengwu is suffering from each other's internal friction, and his troops are lost.
"Daqin Ruozan, even if you are wise and close to the demon, you would never have imagined that there would be such a show. If you want to deal with Datang, you have to pay the price! No matter what, Wu Sizang will definitely not be the winner!"
Wang Chong looked into the distance and said secretly in his heart.
"I need to go and be quiet. Eagle, I'll leave it to you here. ”
Leaving these words, Wang Chong turned around and disappeared on the top of the mountain.
......
At the foot of the mountain, in the camp, Daqin Ruozan's situation at this time was much more serious than Wang Chong wanted.
Letters flew like snowflakes to the hands of Daqin Ruozan, and on the first day, I don't know how many war horses and spies traveled between the plateau and the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. An unprecedented plague is breaking out on the plateau.
Hundreds of thousands, millions of cattle and sheep are lying on the plateau, constantly falling to the ground. Although cattle and sheep are the staple food of the Tibetan people, once they are sick and infected with the plague, they can no longer eat.
And if you eat diseased cattle and sheep, even people will be infected and die, and there is no cure.
Daqin Ruozan only sent hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege him, which made Wang Chong and the Tang people fall into a thirsty situation, but Wang Chong caused most of the grassland to fall into a famine.
Now the plague is spreading from the Ali royal line to the entire plateau, and the impact is so great that even the king of Zao is alarmed. Now on the border around the Ali lineage, the Zao king has sent a large number of troops to intercept them, killing all the cattle and sheep that roam, and even the great generals who are fighting fiercely with Goshuhan have been drawn out of the army.
The seriousness of this kind of thing can be imagined.
But even if this is the case, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that will slip through the net.
Daqin Ruozan looked at the information in front of the table, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. If it weren't for the current dispute in the southwest, it would have reached a critical juncture, and it would be difficult to ride a tiger. He had already led the army back with a large withdrawal.
"This Wang Jiazi!!"
Daqin Ruozan clenched his fists fiercely, and green tendons floated on his forehead.
As the wise minister of the Ali royal line, Daqin Ruozan has a feather fan in his hand for many years, and he has always given the impression of being gentle and elegant, and rarely gets angry. But this matter is completely beyond the scope of Daqin Ruozan's psychological acceptance.
Spreading plague on the grasslands, poisoning thousands of cattle and sheep, and turning the entire grassland into a plague land, it is hard to imagine that a boy under the age of seventeen did such a thing if he did not know it.
Daqin Ruozan had always thought that Wang Chong was a military genius with some talent but no experience, but until this moment he knew that the young man on that mountain had a heart that was even more cold and terrifying than he imagined.
"Have you found the more than 1,000 elite horsemen?"
Daqin Ruozan said.
"Back to Daxiang, they come and go without a shadow, and their strength is extremely high, and the tribal herdsmen on the plateau can't stop them at all. Moreover, their weapons are also very sharp, and our weapons can easily break when they touch them. ”
At the mouth of the tent, a herald knelt there, I don't know how long.
"Sharp?"
Daqin Ruozan closed his eyes, and faintly remembered something in his heart.
"By the way, Great Minister, the masters of the Great Snow Mountain Temple are already tracking them. ”
The herald remembered something and looked up.
"Got it. ”
Daqin Ruozan raised his head and looked at the top of the tent, but his face did not change in the slightest. For such a long time, that cavalry has not been resolved, and it is clear that they have found some way to get rid of the people of the Great Snow Mountain Temple.
Moreover, this terrible panic has already spread on the plateau, and what awaits Uszang will be a disaster that will be several years, more than ten years, or even decades long. Now the plateau is a hell.
The destruction has already been done, and it is too late to say anything.
"Pass the order down, block the news, and don't let anyone know about what is going on on the plateau until the war is over. ”
Daqin Ruozan said with his eyes closed, his clothes trembling. For the first time in decades, he was forced to this point.
"Yes, Prime Minister. ”
The herald at the tent answered, and as he got up, he paused for a moment, but quickly stood up.
"Tell me, what have you arrived?"
Daqin Ruozan did not raise his head.
"Great Minister, if that kid on the top of the mountain ...... He can speak our Us-Tibetan language. ”
The herald boldly looked at the big man in the tent, his eyes full of worry. That Wang Jiazi is the initiator of everything, and now is the best time for him to spread the news if he wants to spread the news.
"No!"
Daqin Ruozan didn't want to veto. He tilted his head, his eyes closed, and there was not the slightest expression on his face:
"Although he spread the plague, if he was really a smart man, he would never say it. Because no one will believe it. ”
Many people already know that there was a problem with the logistical food supply of the Uszang army. But no one would have thought that it was related to an unprecedented plague on the plateau.
Because it's completely beyond imagination, no one will believe it at all. What's more, Wang Chong is still an enemy.
