Chapter 818: Night Attack

After they annihilated the stubborn enemy army, they broke into the hinterland of Tibet like locusts crossing the border, and showed an indiscriminate slaughter to the surrounding tribes with a thunderous momentum, and slaughtered everyone who could see it, regardless of men, women and children, this was not only Yang Dong's order, but also a lone army must carry out the thing, only the enemy was killed, killed, and fled, the army of the party would not be attacked and harassed by the enemy endlessly, and only get enough rest.

As for the spoils of war, that is a matter to be considered before withdrawing, and if, like the greedy nomads, they take whatever they see in time of war, then this army, which has penetrated deep into enemy territory and carried forward with heavy loads, will lose its sharpest mobility, and it will not be far from defeat.

As the commander of the first army, Wang Fubao understands this very well, and he will never allow the soldiers to wear an extra sheepskin now, in a word, except for the necessary things, everything will be destroyed.

Those generals who stayed in Tibet originally thought that the Sui army, as legendary, would take a step-by-step combat method to advance, and after defeating the defenders of the Beida camp, they had to rest for a day or two, and then wait for their Tubo army to assemble and go to the door to fight. began to intimidate and coerce weak tribes to join the army, intending to start a head-on decisive battle with the Sui army and stop the Sui army's murderous momentum. However, the Sui army did not give them a chance to rectify, and a company concentrated its superior forces and pursued them for three days.

It was not until Long Keduo, the younger brother of Langri Zampu, the defender of Wangcheng and Langri Zampu, who came to help in the battle, that the momentum of the Sui army was slowly suppressed, and the two armies confronted each other on the banks of the Jiqu River, preparing to fight a decisive battle.

However, all the elite soldiers of Tubo were taken away by Langri Zampu, and Long Keduo only had 10,000 elite soldiers to guard the royal city, and the young warriors gathered from various departments were only more than 30,000 people.

The tribes in the east and northeast of the Jiqu River Valley were either exterminated or scattered, and when he was forced to do so, he had to urgently recruit Tibetan warriors, and almost all the Tibetan men who could use weapons went to the battlefield. Eighty thousand people gathered.

This is not as simple as a man who controls the strings, except for children under the age of ten, even the old people in their fifties and sixties can carry weapons to the battlefield.

That afternoon, there was a large-scale battle between the two sides in the wilderness, which was originally a green meadow, crisscrossed with corpses and blood that made the earth lose its original color, and the smoke billowing in the distance was the smell of the burning corpses, even if they were far away, they could smell the indispersible smell of meat in the air.

Groups of Sui soldiers patrolled back and forth among the corpses all over the ground, constantly dragging away one corpse after another, judging from this posture, it was enough to show that the winning side was the Sui army. It's just that in this tragic battle, the 10,000 Turkic slave soldiers, who were the main force of this battle, even if they were well-equipped, died a lot.

Wang Fubao led the generals to slowly patrol the battlefield, and a head full of gorgeous hair was particularly dazzling in the afterglow, which was the head of the Tubo people. Wang Fubao looked at it casually and found that there were not many such dead bodies.

He couldn't help sneering: "Even this kind of old man who can't pose a threat even if he picks up arms has gone to the battlefield, it seems that the Tubo people are forced to be in a hurry, as long as this battle is over, the Tubo who don't know what to do will definitely die." ”

"Marshal, although we have won this battle, we have also lost more than 3,000 slave soldiers, which is not a small amount for an army like ours that has penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. Something will not be clear in the end. Su Wu said with some puzzlement.

"You say." Wang Fubao said with a smile.

Su Wu said: "I think we can eat away at the strength of the enemy army little by little, and then sit back and wait for Prince Subi, Nong, Ba, and Cai Bang to raise troops and let them fight a civil war by themselves, why fight such a bloody battle with the Tubo people?" ”

"How long will it take?" Wang Fubao is anti-can.

"A month or two."

"Why don't I want to raze it? But we can't wait that long. Wang Fubao sighed and continued: "The longer the time drags on, the more forces will be involved, a fragmented Tubo I can accept in the Great Sui, but if the Xiangxiong Kingdom, the Daughter Country, the Great and Small Bolu, and the Nibora also intervene, then the border of my Great Sui will become extremely complicated, only before these very weak countries intervene, the five countries of Tubo, Subi, Nong, Ba, and Cai Bang will be determined, and accept the rule of the Great Sui, so that the outside forces can not use the war to expand themselves and become the new overlord." ”

Su Wu suddenly said: "The marshal is saying that Long Keduo is the biggest obstacle for us to split Tibet, so we must fight quickly and annihilate this army?" ”

"That's one of them." Wang Fubao nodded and said: "Second, our previous tactics of killing and killing are not surprising for the nomads, at most they only reflect the murderous side of our soldiers, and it is not enough to reflect the overall strength of our army, nor can it deter those forces, so we have to fight a hearty and upright tough battle, and use the lives of the army in front of us to prove that the soldiers of the Sui army are not only ferocious, but also the overall strength is quite fierce, tell them that this territory belongs to my Great Sui, and the whole world can only be decided by my Great Sui, Only what I have given them can they take, and what they don't give, they can't take it. ”

"It's complicated!" Su Wu scratched his head, he would never have dreamed that a seemingly very simple war would have such a meaning, and after Wang Fubao's decision, his mouth suddenly opened.

"If every war has to be solved by strategy, and every country has to be solved by conspiracy, then what's the use of me training so many elite soldiers in Dasui? How long can this dominance last? So sometimes even if there is a better way to break the enemy, the situation will force you to take the stupidest and dumbest way to solve it. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Fubao pointed to the corpses of the old man all over the ground, and said with a smile: "The young and strong soldiers of Tubo and the elite soldiers have been exhausted by Langri Zanpu, and there are no more soldiers to fight for, why do you not lose them, you can only send this kind of old soldier to fight." Next, you'll find that my enemies will get weaker and weaker. ”

。。。。。。。。。。

As evening approached, the sun fell on the western horizon like a huge fireball, releasing its last afterglow to the earth, and the sky seemed to be burned red, and the whole sky was dyed with a layer of blood, which reflected the blood on the meadow, giving people a poignant feeling.

The corpses on the battlefield were either buried or burned, and they were almost cleaned up.

Although Long Keduo, who was looking at the Sui army camp from afar, didn't know why the Sui army didn't rest, but wasted his energy on disposing of the corpses, he was obviously not in the mood to think about these issues at the moment.

Although today's war killed a lot of enemy troops, but the last elite soldiers in Tubo were also exhausted, the Sui army's bow and crossbow were too fierce, even his soldiers were not bad, but just rushed to the Sui army's military formation, he paid an extremely astonishing price, in order to retain the elite as much as possible, the front were old, weak, sick and disabled, but even so, the huge loss still made Long Keduo's heart bleed.

The Sui army, which was busy in the distance, didn't seem to have much defense, but Long Keduo knew that if he sent troops, he might not be able to get any benefits, and now even the upright head-to-head duel was defeated by the Sui army, and if he had a sneak attack with the sinister and famous Sui army, he would definitely lose.

Even if he finally defeated this incoming Sui army, there would not be a few warriors left, and he just wanted to hold on to it now. Because this is the country of Tubo, there are still many tribes who have not yet known the news of the Sui army's attack, and when they hear the news, they can consume the other party just by relying on the number of people. As for the elite in the camp, although there were not many of them, they were far superior to the Sui army, so he didn't think that he would not hold out until the day when the reinforcements arrived. However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, he wants to confront the Sui army, but Wang Fubao does not think so.

Late at night.

When the Tibetan army fell asleep and the soldiers on patrol were also drowsy, a dense horn sound woke Long Keduo from his sleep, hurriedly put on armor, and came to the front of the camp with weapons, but the imaginary battle did not take place, Long Keduo frowned and asked a few guards: "What's wrong?" Did the Sui people attack at night? ”

"No, they just blew the trumpet, and they didn't see any trace of the Sui army." The Tibetan general shook his head and said.

"Damn the Sui people!"

Long Keduo inspected and made sure that there was no Sui army to attack, so he scolded and left, but when he had just taken off his armor and was about to continue to rest, he was alarmed by a majestic horn sound, and hurriedly put on his armor and went out, but he still did not see a single Sui soldier.

He could only roar angrily: "It's endless, isn't it? ”

However, no matter how he roared, the Sui army did not appear, and they were not good at night fighting, so they could only tell everyone to be careful and go back to rest.

Then unsurprisingly, the horn of the Sui people sounded again, and Long Keduo was not in a hurry this time, but put on his armor leisurely and went to watch, he had already decided not to sleep tonight.

What happened next was of course, the Sui people harassed him repeatedly until dawn, and Long Keduo said disdainfully: "This is a tired soldier's plan, don't pay attention to him, just guard the barracks." ”

But Rao is so, Tubo was noisy all night, a day listless, and the next night, those horns came again without accident, but with yesterday's experience, the Tubo people are very calm. Because the Sui army was really as Long Keduo said, it was just a bluff, and there was no general from the attack, and the vigilance of the Tubo people was completely relaxed, although there was still a horn sounding after that, but it was time to sleep.

Long Keduo had already fallen asleep, he hadn't slept all day yesterday, and he had to guard against the Sui army during the day, and his spirit was quite tired, so he slept very deeply, even if the horn outside was loud, it didn't wake him up.

Before dawn, Long Kedo, who was sleeping soundly, was finally forcibly woken up.

"What's wrong again?" Long Keduo looked at the guards angrily, and was about to teach this unruly guy a hard lesson, but the sound of earth-shattering fighting, screams, and the sound of blades colliding became loud, and his vision was filled with raging fire.

"The Sui people have come in, the general should leave!" The guards shouted.

"This Sui army is too despicable." Long Keduo also reacted, the Sui people were not tired last night, but let them think that the Sui people would only bluff, and then take the opportunity to attack when their vigilance dropped.

Hearing the sound of fighting constantly approaching this side, Long Keduo didn't care about saying anything, put on his armor, took his weapon and walked out. The camp that appeared in front of them was a sky-high fire, just because most of their tents were thick with grease in order to prevent rain, so the Sui army could ignite it with only a little torch, and at this moment the entire camp was a fire, and it seemed that the Sui army was shouting and killing in all directions.

Long Keduo didn't know how many Sui troops had been killed, but his soldiers had already become a mess, and even slashed each other, Long Keduo knew that it was impossible to regroup, so he immediately took his personal guards and rushed towards the direction where there was less fighting. Along the way, many defeated soldiers spontaneously gathered together and fled, which made Long Ke have a lot more people.

Just as they rushed out of the camp together, the soldiers in front fell down without warning, Long Keduo was surprised and grabbed the reins of the horse, the war horse man stood up, stopped the forward rush, a few crossbow arrows slashed past his ears, and there was a scream of the Tibetan soldiers behind him, but he couldn't care so much.

What appeared in front of him was a cavalry of the Sui army, led by a military general with a strange broadsword, and the general was Niu Jinda.

The reason why Wang Fubao let go was to avoid the Tubo people from dying and causing heavy casualties to his side, but at the same time, he had let Niu Jinda ambush here, and Long Keduo rushed out and was stopped by Niu Jinda.

"Kill~" A group of Tibetans brandished weapons and killed.

"Shoot the arrows!" Niu Jinda coldly ordered, and the three thousand elite soldiers behind him were divided into three rows, each holding a repeating crossbow in his hand, and repeatedly pouring crossbow arrows at the camp gate.

The Tibetan army basically wore only leather armor, and the team was very dense, covered by the rain of arrows, only a miserable scream was heard, a large number of Tibetan soldiers fell, and three or four hundred people were killed and wounded in the first round of arrows.

But this injury did not have much impact on the fleeing Tubo soldiers, the crowd continued to rush forward, the second row of Sui cavalry shot a second round of crossbow arrows, the dense rain of arrows shot into the crowd, and there was another scream, this time, the Tubo army began to be timid, the pace slowed down significantly, and the fighting spirit was rapidly fading.

Immediately after Niu Jinda waved his hand, the cavalry quickly retreated dozens of steps back, and the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of arrows were fired, and six shots were fired in a row. The Tibetan army was greatly impacted, witnessing the death of his companions, and the other party was fully armored and well-equipped, the morale of the Tubo was lost, I don't know who turned around first, and thousands of soldiers were crowded together.

"Kill!" Niu Jinda waved his sword, stepped forward, and split the eye-catching Long Keduo in half.

"Kill."

Three thousand elite cavalry suddenly slaughtered the chaotic Tubo soldiers, they brandished swords and spears, only to kill the enemy to cry and scream, but the Sui army mercilessly stabbed with knives and spears, killing the enemy blood like a river, corpses all over the field.
