The three thousand Tuyuhun cavalry also quickly formed a formation a hundred paces away, and at this time, Xie Tianshan rode forward and shouted in Tubo language: "This is a letter from the commander of my family!" ”

He shot a letter pierced in an arrow, and the arrow did not go far and landed in front of the enemy's ranks, and a soldier ran up to pick it up.

Guo Song drew a wolf's tooth arrow, put it on the bowstring, and stared at the soldier who was picking up the letter.

The Tuyuhun soldiers picked up the letter, ran to the front of the battle and handed it to Murong Bianlin, the Tuyuhun army did not realize that this was actually a trap, and the moment Murong Bianlin received the letter, he was locked by Guo Song's gaze.

He locked on the main general of the enemy army, and Guo Song immediately drew his bow like a full moon and shot an arrow.

The sharp wolf's tooth arrow shot like lightning towards Murong Bianlin's front door, at this time Murong Bianlin had already opened the letter, he knew Chinese characters, through the faint light, the letter in front of him turned out to be a blank piece of paper, there was not a word on it, which made him stunned.

With a slight crisp sound, a powerful arrow broke through the paper, and an arrow suddenly appeared in front of Murong Bianlin's eyes, and before he could react, this wolf's tooth sharp arrow was 'poof!' The thud shot through the door of his head, straight through the back of his head,

Murong Bianlin screamed, turned over and fell off his horse, and the three thousand soldiers were suddenly in chaos.

Li Ji shouted, "The enemy commander is dead, kill!" ”

Nearly 300 cavalry of the Tang Army suddenly attacked, and the war horses galloped, like a flood that broke the embankment, rushing down from the hill, and like a sharp long sword, piercing the heart of the enemy.

The Tang army killed like a storm and rushed into the enemy's central army, they kept fighting horses, spears flew over, Tuyuhun soldiers fell off their horses one after another, the Tang army directly killed the enemy formation, and three hundred cavalry directly penetrated out.

In night battles, the specially trained Tang army was obviously stronger than the other side, there was no fear in them, the shots were ruthless and accurate, each cavalry was extremely brave, and the soldiers cooperated even more smoothly than during the day.

The Tuyuhun cavalry was the opposite, they had no experience in night battles, they could not see each other clearly, and they were inevitably a little shrunken in the fierce battle, and the soldiers of the Tuyuhun army were greatly affected by the death of their commander and tribal leader.

Although they were ten times larger than the Tang army, they were still defeated and retreated, and the formation became scattered, with heavy casualties.

After less than half an hour of fierce fighting, the Tuyuhun army had suffered nearly half of the casualties, they finally collapsed, turned the horse's head and fled for their lives, if a group of birds and birds that blew up the forest, each ran wildly without their lives, the Tang army pursued and killed behind, and constantly picked up the enemy army that caught up and fell off the horse, and the enemy army who fled became less and less, after more than ten miles, there were less than 200 people left in the 3,000 cavalry, and the Tang army no longer pursued and killed, and began to collect troops to clean up the results.

Li Ji walked quickly in front of Guo Song, bowed down and said, "Qi Qi Changshi, the brothers suffered twenty-seven casualties, of which thirteen were killed. ”

Guo Song sighed slightly, nodded and said, "Go all out to rescue the wounded, and the dead brothers have all been cremated!" ”

"Obey!"

Li Ji continued: "We annihilated about 2,700 enemy troops, captured more than 2,400 horses, and a large amount of armor, weapons, and some property. ”

"Are there any prisoners of war?"

"Only one Tuyuhun civilian official was captured, and when the brothers saw that he didn't look like a Tuyuhun soldier, they captured him, and he could speak Chinese!"

"Bring him up, and I'll interrogate him myself."

Li Ji turned around and beckoned, "Bring it up!" ”

Several soldiers brought up a civilian official, about thirty years old, wearing a long-sleeved cloth shirt, a felt hat, a roe deer's head, and a scorched face, who knelt down and kowtowed when he was escorted up.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Guo Song asked.

"The villain has lived in Chang'an for several years and can speak Chinese."

"Tell me first, what is your name and what are you doing in the army?"

Hearing Guo Song's tone, the civil official's nervous heart gradually relaxed, and he bowed down and said, "The villain's name is Shanle, and he is responsible for managing the grain and grass warehouse in the Tuyuhun army. ”

It turned out to be an official in charge of the grain and grass warehouse, and at this time, a soldier stepped forward, handed a golden arrow to Guo Song, and whispered: "This was found on the enemy's main general." ”

Guo Song held the golden arrow in his hand and looked closely, this golden arrow was exquisitely workmanlike, and he knew that it was not a mortal thing at a glance, he remembered that Guo Chongqing told himself that this is called the chief's arrow, and generally only the big chief will have the golden arrow.

Guo Song raised the golden arrow and asked, "Who is the main general who was killed today?" How could he have this? ”

The civil official hurriedly said: "Our commander is called Murong Bianlin, he is the nephew of Tuyuhun Khan, he is Tuyuhun's commander in Anxi, and he is also the chief of the Haiqing Tribe, the second largest tribe in Tuyuhun. ”

The civil official introduced it in detail, Guo Song nodded, it seemed that it was really a big fish, and he asked again: "How many days can you still hold on to grain and grass?" ”

"This attack on Qiuzi, I didn't bring much grain and grass, if I didn't recapture the sheep today, it would only last for seven days at most, so the two coaches were very nervous, not only to recapture the sheep, but also to go to Yanji City to collect grain."

"Wait!"

Guo Song suddenly realized something, and asked urgently: "What did you mean by what you just said that you have to go to Yanji City to fetch grain?" ”

The civil official knew that he had leaked his mouth, his face suddenly turned pale, and Guo Song looked at him sternly.

The civil official had to tremble and said: "Because of the shortage of food, we divided our troops into two routes, one was responsible for retrieving the robbed sheep, and the other went to Yanji Town to loot the grain. ”

"How many people are going to Yanji Town?" Guo Song asked.

"About 2,000 people, led by a Tibetan general."

"Or a Tuyuhun soldier?"

"It's not! This time they are all Tubo soldiers, looting property is what they like to do, they will rush to do it, and it will not be the turn of the Tuyuhun people. ”

Guo Song nodded, asked the soldiers to take this civilian official down, he immediately gathered several major generals, and said to them: "I just interrogated and learned that there is still a Tubo army of 2,000 people going to Yanji to loot grain, I plan to ambush this army, I will take 250 people away, and the remaining soldiers will be led by Guo Chongqing and continue to deal with follow-up matters here, do you have any opinions?" ”

Li Ji groaned and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Tubo army is very strong, if we fight hard with 2,000 people, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy casualties, and we may not be able to win." ”

Everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of the Tuyuhun soldiers is low, but the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army is very strong and full of resilience, Li Ji said it more implicitly, in fact, he told Guo Song that their two hundred and fifty cavalry could not fight two thousand Tubo troops.

Guo Song shook his head and said: "I don't want to annihilate them, and I don't want to fight with them, the key is that we have to destroy the other party's food supply plan, and we can only deal with it randomly, if it really can't be destroyed, then there is no need to take risks, we can do our best." ”

After speaking, Guo Song glanced at everyone again, and saw that everyone had no opinions, so he said: "Gather the soldiers and set off in half an hour!" ”

........

Qiuzi City is about 300 miles away from Yanji City, mainly valleys and forests along the way, Guo Song led 250 cavalry all the way to gallop, there are many streams along the way, the water flow is turbulent, from time to time you can see a group of deer drinking water by the stream, a large area of forest is dyed emerald green, in the distance is a snow-capped mountain, the scenery is particularly beautiful, full of spring.

Two days later, the procession was not far from Yanji City, and at noon that day, the Tang army rested in a forest, and the Tang army hunted seven or eight fat deer, roasted to a brown and tender roast, and the soldiers were happily sharing the barbecue.

At this time, there was a roar of the fierce son in the sky, Guo Song looked at the sky, only to see the fierce son hovering in the air a few times, and then flew into the distance.

Li Ji stepped forward and asked, "Is this a situation?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "There should be a large group of people not far away!" ”

Li Ji suddenly became nervous, "How far will it be?" ”

Guo Song looked at the small black dot in the air in the distance and said, "It is estimated that it is about twenty or thirty miles, just in the northeast of us." ”

Li Ji immediately decided: "I'll take a few brothers to have a look." ”

"Yes, you have to watch out for yourself!"

Li Ji then led five soldiers out of the woods and rode northeast along the canyon........
