Chapter 304: Choking His Throat

Two days later, Qin Mubai was ready to go.

There were a total of forty cannons, and he brought out thirty of them, leaving ten in Iron Valley for the new artillery to use for training. With the two hundred artillery in his hands at the moment, Qin Mubai transferred him to Qinyi Mansion and turned them into an elite Yueqi recruitment, which happened to be the number of a "battalion", so it was called the "Shenwu Battalion", and selected a hundred cavalry lieutenants to be their captain, and directly obeyed the orders of Qin Mubai, the general of Yifu.

Each gun was equipped with five gunners, who were responsible for transportation, maintenance and firing. The other 50 people are responsible for the management of shells and explosives, and also have the function of carrying out "blasting".

The 30-sided cannon was stripped of the heavy willow box and mounted with a gun carriage that made it easy to remove the wheels. Put on a war horse, and the ability to move is greatly increased. Then cover two thick large cowhides, tightly and tightly, for waterproofing. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary baggage vehicle.

Yuwen Hongtai's three thousand light horsemen set off with Qin Mubai. The Governor's Mansion was almost empty, and the soldiers and horses of the Privy Mansion were clean, leaving only some guards and guards and guards of the camp.

Princess Gaoyang clamored to follow Qin Mubai to "go to the battlefield to see", but she was reprimanded. She was also interesting, and after deliberately being naughty for a while, she obediently stayed in Xingyuan and waited for Qin Mubai to come back.

The men went out to fight, and the women stayed at home and leaned on the door in fear. At this time, Princess Gaoyang felt as sad and bored as many young women in Lanzhou. In her words, she can only nest on the kang every day and count her toes to play. She couldn't help but miss Chang'an a little, especially her mother's frosty white hair.

Qin Mubai walked halfway with his soldiers and horses, and he kept receiving battle reports from Dafeichuan. Xue Rengui and they have already left. Recently, many Tibetans have begun to explore and harass in the Shanzhou area, as if they are preparing for a regular military invasion in the future.

Xue Rengui rode out first, caught those Tibetan scouts and rangers, and beat them, and dealt a ruthless blow. Since the last battle, Xue Rengui, who was already unstoppable in martial arts, has gained more experience and confidence in commanding cavalry battles.

After a company cleaned up several groups of enemy cavalry stragglers, Xue Rengui began to advance deep into Dafeichuan. At this time, Tubo lost the scout's eyeline, and he was a little at a loss about everything in Shancheng. Immediately after Xue Rengui, the Xue brothers and their generals led more than 10,000 foot soldiers to bring enough dry food, drinking water, gongs and drums and other things, left Shancheng and went to the hilly area leading to Dafeichuan to set up an ambush.

Everything was carried out in accordance with Qin Mubai's prior deployment, in an orderly manner. This situation couldn't help but make Qin Mubai think of the sparrow war and the tunnel war, which was really lively.

The advance speed of the Shenwu Battalion was indeed not flattering, Qin Mubai asked Yuwen Hongtai to lead the light cavalry to take the first step, solemnly explained to him, and asked him to honestly guard the back edge of the entrance of Dafeichuan, if Xue Rengui was defeated, he would be allowed to attack, and everything would obey Xue Wanjun's orders.

"The pioneer is surnamed Xue again, nothing has happened to me? That guy doesn't talk about trust! Although Yuwen Hongtai was a little angry, he had no choice but to receive a military order and lead the army away.

At this rate, it will take at least seven or eight days to get there. Qin Mubai was also a little anxious in his heart. But it's useless to be anxious, the initial tactics of Dafeichuan's side will take at least five or six days if they want to "choke their throats and make them unable to enter".

Now, I just hope that the situation encountered by Xue Wanjun and the others is normal, and nothing goes wrong.

Xue Rengui led two thousand elite cavalry to advance alone, and he had a little taste of a lonely hero. The Tibetans lost scouts in a row, and their grasp of the battlefield information was somewhat closed. Seeing Xue Rengui's lone brigade attacking, they were very hesitant. Especially after the defeat of Shancheng last time, they were very impressed by Xue Rengui, the general who "made Fang Tian draw halberds on a white horse and silver robe" and killed them several times. In the unwarranted dictionary of the Tibetan people, "warrior" is synonymous with supremacy. They were full of hatred and respect for Xue Rengui, and they could even be said to have a trace of awe.

As a result, Xue Renguidu's army broke through to the hinterland of Dafeichuan, and directly faced the large camp of 60,000 Tubo troops.

This is a rare phenomenon. The Tibetan people have always been strong and courageous, and they have never been in the habit of being provoked but indifferent.

It was a very interesting scene. The cavalry team of 2,000 people challenged the Tubo military camp that stretched for more than ten miles, but this behemoth was silent.

Xue Rengui rubbed here for two days, thinking that after all, he was alone and in danger, and he didn't want to be ambushed like Xue Wanjun last time. So on this day, he had just finished scolding, and the Tubo people still didn't have half a soldier back to pay attention to him. He made a gesture to retreat to the camp, but he retreated away in a puff of smoke.

When Tubo came back to his senses, Xue Rengui was already a hundred miles away.

At this time, the Tubo remembered that they had probably been tricked. This white-robed general has no army behind him to cover. This time, he is just the same as the reckless general Xue Wanjun last time, and he is clearly here to send him to death. I pity my army of 60,000, and I don't know how to let go of a piece of fat that was sent to my mouth.

The Tibetan people are like a big fish that has been injured by a hook, and this time they actually saw that the bait without a hook did not eat, and they were hungry, and their mood was even more conceivable.

They angrily gathered more than 10,000 cavalry and began to advance towards Shancheng. No matter what kind of silver-robed general he is, he is still suspicious of the soldiers, and if he kills directly under the city of Shancheng, everything will come to naught!

The pursuit was dozens of miles deep, and everything was normal. The Tubo people began to take it lightly, it seems that they were really worried before, and the Tang army did not ambush them. Thus, the march began to accelerate and advance.

At this time, Xue Rengui appeared halfway again, blocking the right path and becoming a stumbling block for them. The Tubo people laughed, don't think you can scare us - on!

So the fight began. Xue Rengui didn't run away, 2,000 against 10,000, and used the method of piercing in the narrow plain area, fighting big with small.

Not long after the battle began, there was a deafening shout of killing and drumming from the hills on both sides. The Tubo people were shocked: the plan is in the middle, withdraw!

"Han people, they are cunning!"

The Tibetan cavalry retreated like a tide, and Xue Rengui beat the water dogs, captured a large number of heads, and robbed many Tibetan plateau war horses. But he also doesn't chase and fight, and he accepts it when he sees it.

The Tubo people were defeated for a while, and those who lost their armor and fled for dozens of miles before they came to their senses: no, there were no ambushes on both sides, what should we flee from?

"The hateful Han people, with suspicious tactics, are cunning and shameless!"

When the Tibetan battalion heard of the defeat of the former army, they quickly sent troops to help. The two groups of soldiers and horses combined with a total of more than 15,000 men, and then turned their heads and slashed back.

Xue Rengui appeared halfway again, and just sent someone to send back a batch of war horses, so he waited for the Tubo people all day long.

"There is an ambush?"

"Don't be afraid, fake! - Kill! ”

The Tibetans rushed over with resentment and anger, and more than 15,000 horsemen rode like a black flood that almost filled the entire plain.

Xue Rengui pulled out his horse and fled, no matter how brave he was, it was impossible to defeat the opponent's elite troops seven times his own head-on under such a huge disparity.

After fleeing for more than ten miles, the Tubo people chased for more than ten miles. The valleys on both sides resounded with the same shouts and drums as before.

"It's not good, it's in an ambush!"

"Don't be afraid, fake! - Chase! ”

The Tibetans turned a deaf ear and continued the pursuit. Xue Rengui continued to escape, and the soldiers couldn't help but laugh - how did this feel like a dog walk?

After chasing for a few miles, shouts and drums sounded on both sides.

The Tibetans were shocked - "Is this true or fake?" ”

"How do I know?"

More than 10,000 horsemen fell into a trap for a while, and more than 10,000 heads looked at the hills on both sides in confusion, listened to military music for a long time, and did not see a single Tang army killed.

"Fake, fake - chase, chase!"

So, the Tibetans began to chase again. Xue Rengui ran for a while, and there was no enemy behind him, and he stopped and waited for a while. As soon as you see the enemy coming after you, well, continue to walk the dog.

After three or four "ambushes" in a row, the Tubo people felt a little collapsed.

"Han people, if you don't fight, what are you trying to do?"

"Is this a real ambush or a fake ambush?"

"Rush up the hill to find out!"

"Stupid, can cavalry also go up the mountain? What if there is an ambush? ”

“……”

More than 10,000 Tibetan elite cavalry became confused in confusion, scolding and doubting.

Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation to kill back, unreasonable, and shot arrows in a burst of chaos, first knocking down a few leading Tubo generals.

The Tibetan people are young, strong, martial, and brave, and the generals have always been at the forefront. Xue Rengui put down a few people first, and the Tang army ambushed more than 1,000 soldiers on the hills on both sides, and they also began to throw fireballs and shoot rockets at this time.

"Oh no, this time I really fell into an ambush!"

The Tibetans began to retreat frantically, and still left a piece of the corpse of the cavalry chieftain, taking away a piece of confusion and collapse.

Xue Rengui's 2,000 men chased and killed more than 10,000 people for several miles, stopped, and all the sergeants laughed loudly, and many of them laughed so much that their legs and stomachs cramped. Everyone's gossip and laughter meant nothing more than that: This battle was really fun, and the Tubo soldiers did not lose a few soldiers, and their confidence in their IQ must have been hit.

Yuwen Hongtai rushed to Dafeichuan, and took 3,000 people and horses here to "wait for the rabbit", so depressed and bored that he could really only count his toes and play. He wondered, "Why do I take on such an errand?" If I have nothing to do, it is a good thing to prove that our army is fighting well in front; If I can come in handy, it means that our army is not in a good situation...... I'm not a good foot on either side of this! Bad luck!

Several times in a row, Tubo was teased by the Tang army like a dog and a monkey for a while, angry and disheartened. Although they knew that the other party was an ambush, they really couldn't distinguish which way was a real ambush and which was a fake ambush. This is true and false, false and true, and it can make people's brains dizzy.

The Tibetan people develop muscles, and this thing has to grow into the brain. In the face of this suspicious soldier in front of them, they felt very hurt, and their hatred of the cunning of the Han people rose to an unprecedented height. In the end, they made a tragic decision - no matter how provocative they are, Lao Tzu will not come out of the camp to play with you! I have the ability to set up a full position to come to the Armageddon! Don't be seduced by you anymore!

Xue Rengui drove to the Tubo camp in Dafeichuan again, and he didn't need to scold the formation, he could directly use haha laughter to stimulate the Tubo people to not eat, and they jumped to scold their mothers.

At the same time, Xue Wanjun and the others' infantry cavalry sappers rushed over, rushed to build roadblocks and camps at critical passes, built arrow towers and bow carriages, and realized the first step tactic arranged by Qin Mubai with a comedic effect - choking his throat and making it impossible to enter!

At this time, Qin Mubai was also leading his Shenwu camp to Dafeichuan, and was greeted by Yuwen Hongtai, who was so depressed that his face turned green, he had been eating, drinking, sleeping and gaining weight for days.

The two joined forces and marched towards the front-line "throat battalion"!
