Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dark Dragon Horse
Don't leave the post!
"Alas!"
Wang Zhongsi sighed and frowned.
The defeat of Nanzhao also reached his hands, and for the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, the general who almost captured Tubo Zampu was also worried.
His emotions also affected the generals beside him, especially Wang Rare.
Wang was so anxious that he was like a monkey who had lost his master, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and ears, and he just wanted to tear off his hair: "Big brother, what are you sighing for?" ”
Wang Zhongsi didn't say that it was because he knew his brother's ability, and let him rush into battle to kill the enemy was a good hand, but he could use his brain, and he might not be as bright as the yak on Qinghai Lake.
"I'm angry that I'm incompetent, and I can't solve problems for Brother Min."
The specific reason, Wang Zhongsi did not elaborate, and it is difficult to elaborate.
The defeat of Nanzhao seems to be the fault of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, but Wang Zhongsi kicked the mirror in his heart, if it weren't for Li Longji's greed for side work, good face, and his intention to cover up the mistakes of the border generals, he did not listen to dissuasion, and used swords, there would never be this series of stories.
It won't make Brother Demin's overall plan a mess.
It's just that this can't be said to outsiders, although Wang Zhongji also regards Wang Rare as a brother and believes that he will not lose himself, but many things are out of control.
Drunk, sleeping, and unintentional, there is a possibility of leakage, Wang Zhongsi has always been steady and sensible, and he will not embarrass Pei Min for his own reasons.
Just when he was troubled, Pei Min's secret letter had been quietly delivered.
Wang Zhongsi opened it alone in the mansion and saw the content of more than 1,000 words in the letter.
Wang Zhongsi suddenly felt that he had a thousand catties of burden on his shoulders.
With his military qualities, he has seen through the key to this battle.
This desperate offense and defense, the key to victory or defeat lies in this offense.
Qinghai Lake is the economic and food lifeline of Tibet, and once it is attacked, it will definitely be rescued by the whole country.
The day the Tang army captured Qinghai Lake, that is, when Tibet no longer had the strength to resist.
In other words, the plan of the two countries to jointly attack the Tang Dynasty was also broken, and the Arabs would also lose their advantage.
The end of the whole strategy depends on when the offensive end can win.
"I'm only in my early twenties, but I'm carrying such a burden."
"What Brother Min has in this letter is just some details and arrangements, and there are no superfluous words, obviously believing that he can bear this burden."
"Brother Min believes in himself so much, how can he let him down?"
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongsi came to the map hanging on the side with a solemn expression, and looked at the small island that Pei Min asked him to send troops to capture first, and his eyes became bright and shining from the initial incomprehension.
It's dark under the lights, nothing more than that.
Such a battleground for soldiers actually made both sides ignore each other.
"Brother Min is really Brother Min!"
The steady Wang Zhongsi exclaimed excitedly.
He was under great pressure for this attack.
After more than a year of fighting with Dazarugon, Wang Zhongji was well aware of his opponent's abilities.
Although he has repeatedly won over the years, there has been no loss in the strength of Tubo, and most of them are petty fights.
The only thing that is commendable is the battle of the military parade in Dafeichuan, which also detoured Dazarugon. Take advantage of the Tibetan general's distrust of Dazaru Gong and make achievements.
Dazarugong has been operating Qinghai Lake for many years, and the defense has a certain advantage, and the altitude sickness in the hinterland of Qinghai Lake is serious.
If the Tang army wants to capture Qinghai Lake, it is at a disadvantage congenitally.
It was the first time for Wang Zhongsi to lead a large army to fight, and he still had a certain amount of pressure.
But Pei Min's clever move leveled the congenital gap between each other, and put Tang Jun and Tubo on the same starting line.
Striding out of the room, Wang Zhongsi called the logistics clerk and asked him to count all the barrels, tubs, and bed boards.
Then the Ju Jiang drum was beaten.
Wang Zhongsi treats the army with Pei Min's style, and he cannot tolerate the slightest mistake in military discipline.
As soon as the drum sounded, all the generals in the tent gathered in front of the tent.
What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers.
Wang Zhonghei is belligerent, and the generals and soldiers under his command are also happy to fight.
They all couldn't wait to look at their superiors, hoping that he could flip the cards and turn over themselves.
In just half an hour, a cavalry team of 3,000 people rushed to Qinghai Lake.
**********
Dafeiling Barracks!
After suffering the shame of Dafeichuan, Dazarugon changed his tactical style of play and was not passively attacked.
Instead, the soldiers and horses in their hands were divided into two parts, one set up a military camp in Dafeiling, and the other set up a military camp in Niuxindui at the foot of Mantou Mountain.
The two armies surrounded Qinghai Lake, one north and the other south, attacking Mo Liyi.
As long as Wang Zhonghe's soldiers and horses move, another army can threaten Mo Liyi, and even directly cut off Wang Zhonghe's way back.
This-for-tat arrangement gave Wang Zhongsi great face.
The 8,000 defenders of the post contained 30,000 Tibetan soldiers.
Dazarugon felt that it was worth this, and Wang Zhongji was worthy of such caution.
Sure enough, in the face of the suppression of the north and the south, Wang Zhongsi could not find an opportunity to take advantage of, and since the surprise attack on Dafeichuan, there was no chance to attack and disturb.
This suddenly got the news that Wang Zhongji attacked again, and Dazarugong did not dare to be careless.
has been an opponent for many years, and Dazarugon is no longer as good as he was at the beginning, and regards Wang Zhongsi as the nobody.
Wang Zhongsi is brave and calm, and has a terrifying tactical sense.
Whenever he attacked, he almost grabbed his weakness and hit it with one blow, without the slightest bit of mud and water, and won cleanly, and then calmly retreated, not giving himself the slightest opportunity to take advantage of.
"Where is he going?"
While gathering troops and generals, Dazarugon asked the reason for the expedition.
Tanma immediately replied: "Go south to Jishi Mountain!" The specific goals are not determined. ”
"Chaka Salt Lake!"
Every inch of Qinghai Lake, Dazaru Gong can call out a seat.
In an instant, Dazarugon saw through Wang Zhonghe's true intentions.
Chaka Salt Lake is the smallest of the four major salt lakes in the Qaidam Basin, and it is also the earliest developed one.
Because Chaka salt is so easy to mine, people only need to open a dozen centimeters of salt cover to get the natural crystalline salt from below.
In this era when the technology for extracting salt is not very developed, it can save a lot of labor.
The value of Chaka Salt Lake is more important than that of the other three salt lakes.
Nowadays, eighty percent of the salt sold and used in Tibet originates from Chaka Salt Lake.
If this blow is a success for Wang Zhonghe, their losses will not be small.
There was no hesitation.
Dazarugon immediately mobilized 5,000 soldiers to defend the Chaka Salt Lake, personally ordered 6,000, and intercepted and killed them halfway.
Wang Zhonghe's move, Dazaru Gong only half an hour, has already made a response.
But what Dazarugon didn't know was that when he was bent on chasing Wang Zhonghe's footsteps, a small force with wooden barrels and wooden basins and planks lurked to Qinghai Lake, and rowed to the central island of Qinghai Lake with wooden barrels and wooden basins and planks...... Haixin Mountain, Longju Island......
