Chapter 523: The Battle of Funiuchuan (8)
"Speed up, keep up, hurry!"
Gal Mosodo has been a proud spring breeze these days, although he is tired enough, but his heart is too cool, and from time to time he will show a slight smug smile, of course, it is not surprising, anyone who can drive the enemy who has defeated him to flee like a rabbit, must be so virtuous.
"Report, general, the Tang thieves are lined up five miles ahead, please make it clear to the general!"
Just as Gal Mosodo was babbling and urging his men to speed up, he saw a sentry galloping from a distance, bringing him a strange news.
"What, you can see clearly, are they all Tang thieves?"
Don't look at Gar Mosoduo's previous high-spirited pursuit of the troops, in fact, in his heart he is still deeply afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Hehuang army, the reason why he dared to chase boldly a few days ago was to bully the Hehuang army in a heavy encirclement, and did not dare to stop fighting.
"Back to the general's words, it is indeed all ** undoubtedly!"
The sentinel apparently sensed that something was wrong with Gar Mosodo, but he dared to talk nonsense, so he could only pretend to bow his head ignorantly and hurriedly replied.
"Order: The whole army stops, quickly, send someone to inform General Zanpo, just say that the Tang thief is going to play with his life, and he is still stunned!"
After being defeated by ** before, the remnants of the army collected by Gar Mosodo were only a little more than 10,000, and he really didn't dare to meet Li He's troops again.
"Report, General, the thief has stopped five miles away."
The Tibetan army's move to delay could not be concealed from the investigation of the ** sentry detective, and when it was seen that the Tubo army had no intention of advancing, one of its own mounted sentries rushed back to the base and reported the news to Li He.
"Don't you dare to come? Okay, let's go, give the order: the whole army will attack, no love for war, one blow will leave, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”
Li He had long expected that Gar Mosodo would not dare to fight alone, and this hearing that the sentry had brought back accurate news, he couldn't help but sneer, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was already setting in the west, so he didn't delay any longer, his face was solemn, and he gave an order in a loud voice.
"Report, General, Tang, Tang thief kill, kill here!"
Li He ordered, the soldiers of the Hehuang army did not dare to slack off, and they all rushed to the order, more than 5,000 iron horsemen swept away like a wave towards the road, the movement was really too big, and the Tubo sentinel who wandered not far away could see it clearly, and how could he dare to ignore it, and he hurriedly galloped back to the front of the army and reported the news to Gar Moso.
"Damn it, quick, array, array!"
Gar Mosuodo didn't understand the intention of ** before, and he didn't dare to enter the army easily, but he didn't order the whole army to line up to meet the enemy, just let the troops rest, this heard ** actually killed a horse pistol, and then panicked, ignoring the sentry who was so anxious, he pulled out the big knife on his waist, danced wildly and roared, this order, the Tibetan officers and soldiers were all panicked, and the commanders of the various departments roared again and again, desperately rectifying the formation, all kinds of passwords, horns sounded together, and finally grabbed the ** Before arriving, it was barely lined up in a defensive formation, but under the fatigue of the soldiers, this formation was really not very strict, and as for the spirit, it was not high.
"Follow me, Horse Shooting!"
The Hehuang army is all cavalry, the speed is extremely fast, the land of five miles is just a matter of an instant, just at the moment when the Tubo army has just lined up the formation, Li He has already rushed to the distance of only more than four hundred steps away from the Tubo array, but he did not stop to rectify the formation, but shouted, and led the troops to launch a charge without stopping.
"Crossbow ready!"
Looking at the surging ** cavalry, Gar Mosodo immediately beat a drum in his heart, and he didn't dare to give the order to fight at all, only thinking about stabilizing the defense.
"Turn left, rush!"
Although the Tubo army under Gar Mosodo is a tired division, it can be regarded as one of the strong Tubo troops, and the order is also well executed, the main general gave an order, and the three thousand crossbowmen who lined up in front of the whole army immediately raised the strong bow in their hands, and everyone opened their bows and arrows, ready to give the charging ** a head-on attack, this abacus is a good fight, but it is doing useless work, just because ** has never rushed into the effective range of the bow and crossbow at all- At a distance of less than one hundred and fifty paces from the Tubo army's array, Li He had already shouted, and led his troops to draw a beautiful arc in the center of the battlefield, rushing to the left like thunder.
"Damn, blow the trumpet, the cavalry on the left flank attack, strike!"
Gar Mosodo can be said to be a long and wise, this time ** suddenly turned, immediately guessed the ** tactics, since he didn't want to sit and wait for the ** arrow rain to be looted, he hurriedly roared, ordered the left wing cavalry to charge, trying to take advantage of the ** flank exposed in front of their own side, to ** to a block to cut off, this idea can not be said bad, the decision is also very timely, but unfortunately Gal Mosodo missed one thing, that is, in order to stabilize the defense, The five thousand infantry in his hands were all lined up at the front of the array, not only with three rows of archers, but also two rows of shield swordsmen in front of the cavalry.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Seeing that the left flank of the Tubo army was in chaos, Li He would not let go of such a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, but he did not turn to pounce on the enemy, but ordered the whole army to greet the Tubo army with a rain of arrows, but when he heard the sound of the machine spring, all the ** officers and soldiers turned sideways and shot the crossbow machine in their hands at the left wing of the Tubo army in chaos.
"Withdraw!"
Although another force can defeat the left flank of the Tubo army, and it is even possible to cover the middle and right armies of Tubo and achieve a big victory, but Li He did not intend to do it, just because if he really wants to break the enemy, he has to fight fiercely, in case if the resistance of the Tubo army is completely defeated, the rest of the troops who rushed to the Tubo army before hearing the news arrive, then it is possible to fall into a heavy siege, and this is a weight that Li Hewan can not bear, therefore, he is not greedy, after a rain of arrows washed the left flank of the Tubo army, He led his troops around the left flank of the Tubo army, and without hesitation, he rushed to the depths of the grassland.
** This walk did not look back, and soon disappeared into the distance, which made Gar Mosodo secretly relieved, but also couldn't help but have a headache - to chase or not to chase? This is a big problem, Gar Mosodo has suffered a lot of losses, and has become a frightened bird, chasing? I'm afraid that ** will kill the last horse gun again, but if you don't chase it? In case of losing the trace of **, Gar Qinling will not spare him, and he is in a dilemma for a while, and he doesn't know what decision to make.
"Why are you stopping here, huh?"
Li He's caution was not unreasonable, just when the Gar Mosoduo department had just settled down from the chaos, several places of smoke and dust had already rolled in, but it was Gar Zanpo who led the troops to arrive, this time seeing that the Gar Mosoduo department actually stayed in place, Gar Zanpo's face was difficult to see the extreme, and led a group of generals to rush to Gar Mosodo's body, raised the horsewhip, and shouted in a cold voice.
"Third brother, I ......"
Gar Mosou was about to explain, but he didn't know where to start, so he was so anxious that cold sweat on his forehead involuntarily gushed out.
"Waste, don't chase it quickly, follow the lost Tang thief, be careful of your dog's head!"
For Gar Mosodo, a cousin who was arrogant and talented, Gar Tsampa had always been disgusted, and when he saw his embarrassment, he became even more angry, and unceremoniously reprimanded him.
"Ah, yes, the third brother is angry, and the younger brother will obey the order."
Gar Mosodo is a high-minded and arrogant person, and has always not had much respect for Gar Zanpo, the main general, and has never confronted Gar Zanpo in public in the past, but this time under the successive defeats, he has long lost his spirit, and he does not dare to have any more presumptuous words and deeds, so he can only respond to the promise with embarrassment, gather a group of deployments, and chase after him in the direction of ** departure......
Funiu Mountain, a branch of Kunlun Mountain, the mountain is extremely steep, the mountain shape is tall, the difficulty of flying birds, but there is a gap with a width of nearly 1,000 zhang between the continuous mountains, and this is the southern gate of the Tuyuhun Plain King Fuyuhun City, in the early years, the Tuyuhun people who are accustomed to nomadism in all directions do not have the habit of being born according to the city, and they do not build a city here to defend it, even if the Funiu River is a horse after the Pingchuan, once it falls, its capital will be in no danger to defend, but since the Tagar Qinling has passed a little Tuyuhun and Tuyuhun, but it is different, Gal Qinling, who knows the military strategy, personally designed the fortifications of the entire Funiu River, although it is not as impregnable as the indestructible city walled, but it is also quite impressive - a large gap for several miles, set up a checkpoint, three military villages, to defend the capital, but due to economic strength, the checkpoint is not tall, that is, a low stone wall that is not more than a foot high, there are not many garrisons in the past, and the four military camps add up to a total of only about 2,000 permanent troops, at this time of war, because of the capacity, the garrison is doubled, But it's still not much, only 5,000 soldiers and horses, but the guards on duty are several times more than usual, even if it is a stormy night, no one dares to be lazy, just because the Tibetan Prime Minister Gar Qinling is sitting on the city at this time.
"Daxiang, the night is already very deep, you see ......"
At three o'clock, the night was already deep, but Gar Qinling did not feel a trace of sleep, holding an oil lamp in his hand, lying on the copy, carefully studying the large map in front of him, a pair of thick eyebrows tightly locked into a Sichuan character, a worried look, which made the captain of the guard who was accompanying him extremely unbearable, and had to whisper a word.
"Hmm."
Gar Qinling's mind was obviously still immersed in the turbulent battle situation, and he did not pay attention to the words of the captain of the guard, but just said noncommittally.
"Great ......"
Looking at Gar Qinling's haggard face, the captain of the guard really couldn't stand it, and he wanted to persuade a few more words, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, Huo Ran turned around and looked at the night sky outside the city gate tower in disbelief......
