Chapter 137: Drumming Attack

The road is narrow and precipitous, only allowing two horses to go in parallel, for this reason, once the 20,000 Tubo army enters, the team will stretch for more than ten miles, in order to kill and injure the Tubo army as much as possible, the 3,000 dragon army and the 2,000 Dongnu soldiers are scattered and deployed, with 100 people as a team, and set up offensive positions at different positions on the top of the mountain.

In order to effectively command this army, which stretched for more than ten miles, Li An ordered to set up drums on several important hills, as long as the war drums of the headquarters sounded, the nearby war drums would be sounded one after another, so as to ensure that the 5,000 soldiers and horses on the front could simultaneously launch an attack on the Tubo army on the Zimu Road.

Looking at the soldiers beside him, busy cleaning up the dead wood and hay on the top of the mountain, as well as the gravel that could be used for attack, Li An nodded with great satisfaction, the harder the soldiers prepared, the greater the damage to the enemy after the battle started.

'Sweat more before war, shed less blood during war. This sentence is a universal norm in any era, and the era of cold weapons is no exception.

"Captain Li, the soldiers have made such thorough preparations, if the Tubo army does not enter the ambush circle, we will be busy in vain."

A Dragon Martial Army general spoke.

Li An glanced back at him: "As long as the general is ready to fight, the Tubo army will definitely come, and soon." ”

The general of the Long Wu Army nodded and stepped aside.

"Big brother, these generals of the Dragon Martial Army have higher positions than you, but now they want to listen to your command, and they seem to be very unconvinced."

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth: "They haven't seen my courage with their own eyes, of course they won't be convinced, after the fight starts, kill the enemy with me, let these frogs at the bottom of the well see our true ability, and I'm not afraid that they will not be convinced." ”

"Don't worry! Big brother, I've long wanted to have a good fight. ”

Li An smiled, raised his eyes to the west, and waited for the Tibetan army to burrow into his pocket.

######

Ten miles west of the queen city, six or seven hundred soldiers and horses under the command of Zhao Daiwen were resting in the camp, and they left the queen city in the afternoon, but they only walked ten miles to set up camp, and the reason given was very simple, it was to wait for the grain and grass in the city.

Before the main force left the queen city, Zhao Daiwen left thirty soldiers to raise grain and grass in the city.

Of course, this is just an excuse, Zhao Daiwen is not really waiting for food and grass, but waiting for an opportunity to make a move, he suddenly led his troops to leave the queen city, in order to confuse the opponent, make the other party paralyzed, and then raid the palace.

The soldiers were resting, but Zhao Daiwen was nervous and not sleepy, he paced back and forth in the big tent, thinking about every detail of the operation.

"Master, the hour is almost up, so you can get up and prepare."

Hamigo reminded in a whisper.

"The hour has come, so soon."

Zhao Daiwen was stunned for a moment, feeling that time had passed a little quickly, and in his heart, it seemed that he was not ready.

"My old friend, what are you waiting for?"

Tubo Daxiang walked into the big tent, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied.

"Big talk."

Wu Zhiguo walked around Zhao Daiwen: "My old friend, I have 20,000 soldiers and horses in Tibet, and I am on the way here, and I can arrive in the Queen City before the early morning of tomorrow, and tonight is the day when you ascend the throne, what else do you have to worry about." ”

Zhao Daiwen frowned and thought for a moment: "Comment, I'm always a little worried in my heart, the 20,000 troops of Tubo have entered, won't they get the news in advance?" ”

"Master rest assured, the east entrance of Zimu Road has been blocked by our people, and no one can pass through Zimu Road alive, and of course, it is impossible to spread the news to Queen City."

Hamigo said confidently.

Of course, Hamigo was too arrogant, he thought that blocking the eastern entrance of Zimu Road and blocking the people passing through would block the passage of news, but he didn't know that in addition to people, carrier pigeons can also transmit news, and moreover, much faster than the speed of fast horses, Li An had already passed the book through carrier pigeons, and learned that the 20,000 troops of Tubo had entered.

Zhao Daiwen was completely relieved, there was a vulture like Guo Zai, what was he afraid of: "Hamiguo, immediately send an order, all the soldiers are ready to go and make a detour to the north gate." ”

"Yes, master."

The north gate of the East Female Kingdom, the distance from the palace is the shortest, and the soldiers who are responsible for defending the north gate are Zhao Yufu's personal guards, however, the soldiers on duty have long been bought by Zhao Daiwen, and they can receive Zhao Daiwen's soldiers and horses into the city.

The soldiers and horses in the camp were quickly assembled, and Zhao Daiwen and Wu Tan Guo personally led these six or seven hundred soldiers and horses, and quickly advanced towards the north gate of the queen city by the hazy moonlight.

#####

At the entrance of the west side of Zimu Road, Lang Zhidu, the prince of Tubo, stared at a pair of fierce eyes, looking at the steep Zimu Mountain and the rolling Zimu River, and behind him were more than a dozen Tubo generals who were also burly.

Tubo is famous for its strong military strength, and has defeated the Tang Dynasty army many times, which is also the only thing that Tubo can handle, for this reason, the Tubo people are proud of bravery, and everyone, including Zampu's son, is obsessed with force.

Lang Zhi is the son of Tubo Zanpu Chide Zuzan, and he is also one of the best generals in the Tubo Empire, he has fought countless battles in his life, and has personally killed the heads of hundreds of enemy soldiers, of course, including the heads of Tang Dynasty soldiers.

The high position, the brave and invincible force, coupled with the decisive style, doubled the prestige of Lang Zhidu, and all the Tibetan generals did not disobey him.

This time to march into the queen city, the commander-in-chief of the 20,000 Tibetan army is naturally also the highly prestigious Lang Zhidu.

"Prince, here is the Zimu Road, stretching for more than 20 miles, the road is narrow, only allowing two horses to go in parallel, after the Zimu Road, it will be the Queen City after another twenty or thirty miles."

Lang Zhi didn't speak, continued to stare at Zimu Mountain and Zimu River, and said loudly for a long time: "Bronze Blade Nuoluo, you lead five hundred cavalry to explore the way, if there is no abnormal situation, stop directly at the entrance on the east side of Zimu Road." ”

"No."

Bronze Blade Noro shouted the order, and immediately led his five hundred elite cavalry to run into the Zimu Road in two rows.

"Prince, since we should quickly reinforce the queen city, we should not waste time here, if the reinforcements are late, the queen city may change."

Lang Zhidu frowned, his eyes widened: "The terrain here is extremely treacherous, what if there is an ambush?" ”

"Prince, since the big talk is in the East Woman Country, we must be sure that there is no ambush here, we don't have to worry too much, it is important to reinforce the Queen City as soon as possible, in case it ......"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lang Zhidu's mouth: "Are you worried that the big talk will be dangerous?" ”

"Prince, in the queen city, the soldiers and horses that can be controlled are not dominant, and our army should be reinforced quickly."

Lang Zhidu stretched out his big strong hand and said confidently: "Da Yan has thirty warriors who I personally trained by him, even if things change, they are enough to protect Da Yan's safety, you don't have to worry." ”

Lang Zhidu, who is famous for his bravery, is very superstitious about force, and he believes in the warriors he personally trains.

"Prince, but once things change, even if Da Yan can escape the catastrophe, his carefully formulated plan will be over."

Lang Zhidu sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said viciously: "This king knows that the plan of the Great Treatise is to support Zhao Daiwen, the minister who is loyal to my Tubo, to be the king, but this king feels that instead of letting Zhao Daiwen be the king, it is better to let them kill each other to their heart's content, and then our army will annihilate the Dongnu royal family in one fell swoop, so that the Dongnu country will be completely the territory of my Tubo, wouldn't it be better." ”

"The prince suspects that the ambush is fake, and wants to cause a fire in the queen city and is it true?"

Lang Zhidu smiled contemptuously: "It's all true." ”

"Prince Takami, Prince Takami."

All the Tibetan generals praised loudly, they advocated force, but also advocated conquest, since they could directly take down the Dongnu Kingdom, why support a puppet.

The Tubo general Bronze Blade Nuoluo led five hundred elite cavalry, taking advantage of the moonlight, slowly entered the Zimu Road at an unhurried speed, and fell into the encirclement carefully designed by Li An.

"Big brother, the Tibetan cavalry, they really came."

Li An naturally saw it a long time ago, and his heart couldn't help but become a little nervous, this battle was related to the success or failure of the entire plan, so he couldn't help but be nervous.

"Isn't that right, it seems like there are only a few hundred riders?"

"Big brother, you must be a pioneer in pathfinding."

Li An nodded: "Hold your troops for the time being, let go of this cavalry." ”

All the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army held their breath and watched as the five hundred cavalry of Tubo passed through the ambush and gradually moved away.

At the entrance on the west side of Zimu Road, the Tubo prince Lang Zhidu looked left and right, and waved his big hand: "The whole army will set off immediately and go straight to the queen city." ”

"The whole army is leaving."

The 20,000 Tibetan army, under the personal leadership of Lang Zhidu, entered the encirclement preset by Li An along the narrow road of children and mothers, and became lambs to be slaughtered, but they did not know anything about it.

Li An raised his eyes and saw that there was a winding fire dragon gradually approaching in the west, which was obviously the Tubo army with torches.

"The main army of Tibet, you are finally here, and the Tao of Zimu will be your burial place, hum......

In his opinion, only by annihilating as much of the Tibetan army as possible can the idea of Tubo annexing the Dongnu Kingdom be dispelled, and then weaken the strength of the Tubo Empire, weaken its threat to the Tang Empire, and lay a solid foundation for the Tang Empire to dominate the world.

Lang Zhidu, the prince of Tubo, stared at the fierce eyes, and looked around the steep terrain along the way, but even if he looked through his eyes, it would never be possible to find the Tang ambush soldiers ambushed on the top of the mountain, let alone Li An's eyes full of victory and joy.

"Big brother, the Tubo army has all entered the ambush circle, let's do it!"

Li Kunxiong was already impatient.

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Beat the drum to attack." (To be continued.) )
