Chapter 15 The Tang Army is different

Diners Valley!

Dalai Valley is located more than 20 miles south of Lintaowu Street, where there is an undeveloped grassland, which is suitable for feeding sheep and horses, and the Tubo army chose to camp here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In terms of logistical operation, Tubo did not have the manpower and material resources of the Tang Dynasty, and rarely carried logistical baggage. They emulated the animal husbandry logistics of the nomads, and every time they went on an expedition, they would bring a large number of shepherds with them to be responsible for the food and clothing of the three armies. Goat milk with a little bit of barley rice, both nutritious, calorie and sufficient, the key goat milk is inexhaustible, can be repeatedly cycled every day, greatly relieving the pressure of logistics.

At this moment, in the Tubo military camp, Kun Dayan and Qi Li Xu stared at me with bull's eyes, and the two looked at each other "affectionately" for a long time, but they didn't know how to speak.

For the current Datang, they despise it from the bottom of their hearts. It's not that they're complacent. I really feel that the Tang Dynasty is no longer the original Tang Dynasty, during the Wu Zetian period, the military of the Tang Dynasty was weak and weak, but there were still good people like Xue Rengui, Wang Xiaojie, Heizhi Changzhi, Tang Xiujing, and Zhang Renyuan. But now?

A full fight is only one Xue Ne! Or the border commander of the Northeast. This northeastern marshal rashly intervened in the war in the West, and it was inevitable that he would "not adapt to the soil and water", just like his father Xue Rengui in the past.

Who doesn't know how powerful Xue Rengui is! But so what? The battle of Dafeichuan is not the same as the annihilation of the whole army?

Although it was because of the discord between the generals and the commanders, Guo Beifeng's own initiative led to the destruction of the whole army, which was not Xue Rengui's fault. In the final analysis, it is because Xue Rengui is the commander of the Northeast and was transferred to the west to resist Tibet, which led to the dissatisfaction of the Western generals.

The handsome will be one of them, and the weakness of the soldiers is also the fatal key.

Now the new Zampu Chide Zuzan and the regent of the Wulu clan are ambitious, and after quelling the civil strife, they have been planning a campaign against the Tang Dynasty, for which they have reached a consensus with the Turks to flank the north and south. In recent years, they have been using Yang Ju's relationship to explore the reality of the Tang Army, the strength of the Tang Army, and the situation they are facing, all of which are under their control.

The Tang Dynasty, who thought that the country had no good generals and weak soldiers, was a soft persimmon that was kneaded at will, but they didn't want the war to be far less smooth than they imagined.

The three-way army also achieved the expected results in attacking Taozhou, and the other two roads did not achieve any effect.

Bi Folu just came to the news, when the vanguard led by him rode to the Weiyuan Military Horse Farm, except for the messy horse manure in the huge military horse farm, there was no ghost shadow. Not to mention military horses, there is not a single horse foal, so run for nothing. The vanguard cavalry that rushed to Jincheng was even more broken by the Tang army. Three thousand vanguard horsemen who were good at cavalry warfare were killed, and one general and two commanders were lost.

The start was not smooth, and he slapped Ku Dayan and Qi Lixu hard, and they were a little confused.

It wasn't until Bifer Lu's account was in the account that they withdrew their gaze from each other.

"Kuorang Cuo Gui Mainbo drink!" Bi Fulu scolded in his mouth, and he naturally spoke in Tubo dialect, which meant that the Tang army ran faster than the Tibetan antelope in their hometown, and there was no shadow at all.

Kun Dayan sighed: "We are careless, even if Datang is critically ill, it is the Datang after all, and it is not easy to deal with." The soldiers are divided into three ways, too arrogant, and should go step by step. ”

Qili Xu also bowed his head and said: "There is a saying among the Central Plains people, it is called that if the sheep is lost, make up the sheepfold. As long as we don't underestimate them. With our Tibetan warriors and eagles on the mountains, there is no reason why we can't deal with a group of rabbits. Marshal Kundayan, we should plan well and not despise them. Especially Xue Ne, who is the son of Xue Rengui. I heard about it when I was in the hands of the Great Comment. Dafeichuan back then, if it weren't for Guo Beifeng, the outcome was unknown. The children of people who are afraid of big talk are not easy to deal with. "In the Tubo Treatise is the meaning of the Prime Minister, and the Treatise in the mouth of Kili Xu is the Tubo Army God Garqin Mausoleum.

Kudayan apparently agreed with Kilixu's point of view, saying, "There is no need for us to fight to the death with the Tang army, it is not cost-effective to fight this battle in their territory." Taozhou is already our Tibet, as long as we make another sweep, we can withdraw to Taozhou. Back to our land, on our land, the Don army cannot win against us. ”

Qili Xu automatically asked: "Jincheng will be handed over to the last general, and the last general has learned the siege tactics according to the great theory." As long as I am given enough troops and cooperate with the backhand we have prepared in advance, it will be no problem to take Jincheng. ”

"Good! How many warriors do you want! "Kudayan has no choice, Longyou is already barren, not richer than Guanzhong, and the only thing that is really worth plundering is a military horse farm and Lanzhou Jincheng, which has become rich by relying on the Silk Road.

Qili said in a deep voice: "According to the information we have received, there are 6,000 soldiers in the city, give me 50,000 is enough to ......"

Ku Dayan didn't think about it and said: "I'll give you 60,000, ten times the number of troops, and you must take Jincheng." I have 30,000 in my hand, and I will do everything possible to delay the march of the Tang army, and before they reach the Dalai Valley from Guanzhong, we must take Jincheng. He gave the death order directly to Qilixu. Only a person of his level knows the importance of Jincheng to the current Tibet.

Tubo is not as rich as the Tang Dynasty, and the land is vast and rich. Despite the strength of their military, the economy has not been able to keep up, slowing down their development. No matter what their policies were, there was still no caravan with their brains, and they traveled thousands of miles to risk altitude sickness and enter Tibet to do business. Therefore, they desperately wanted to get the Western Regions, and only by getting the Western Regions and monopolizing the Silk Road could the economy of Tibet develop.

Only when the economy and military are strong at the same time can the country be truly strong. In recent years, they have been taking advantage of the instability of the Tang Dynasty to buy small countries in the Western Regions, and have achieved good results. As a result, the treasury spent too much money and needed a large amount of money to replenish the treasury.

Tubo is not short of horses, and he is not very fond of the Weiyuan Military Horse Farm, but out of the mentality of not robbing white, he will send troops for it. Only Jincheng, they are bound to win.

Qi Lixu clenched his fists and crossed his chest with a cautious face, and gave the highest military salute in Tibet.

"Bifer Heron!" Kun Dayan nodded his favorite general and said: "Give you 20,000 elite cavalry, the officers and soldiers in the army, choose as you choose, distribute them freely by you, and use all methods and means to delay the marching speed of the Tang army." It is imperative that they have a large army, without bridges in the water, and no road in the mountains, and must always be on guard against attacks, and march in one day, no more than fifty miles, so as to win enough time for Kilixu......"

"Understood!" Bifer had a fierce expression on her fierce face.

Fengtian Military Village!

The soldiers and horses of Guanzhong gathered here one by one, after all, unlike the Tubo people, all the people were soldiers and were well prepared. The war was sudden, and the temporary mobilization of the army was also a long process.

Xue Ne stood on the high observation platform, looking at the troops who came to report one after another, and his knife-like resolute and stubborn face showed an expression that he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

After appointing the ambassador of Longyou defense, he immediately came to Fengtian Military Village, the gathering place of the army. Standing on the lookout platform and quietly looking at the military horses that came to report was what he had to do every day. Only by understanding the strength of the soldiers in one's own hands can one correctly formulate a battle plan. No matter how good a plan is, if it is beyond the scope of the general's strength, it is equivalent to empty talk.

Xue Ne is in his sixties this year, has been in the army for nearly 50 years, has rich experience, and few people have a unique advantage in controlling this detail. Whether a soldier or horse is strong or not, he can see one or two from the momentum of the army, and there are few mistakes or omissions.

There is no doubt that the equipment of the troops who came to report for duty was excellent, but most of the soldiers had average morale, fighting spirit, ranking, and combat effectiveness. It's not weak, but it's not brilliant at all. I really want to fight and have the strength to fight, but I don't want to make them take on any heavy responsibilities but it's not up to the standard. It's much better than a group of Youzhou recruits in the past. There is no comparison with the hundred-battle team under his father's command back then. For a few days in a row, only a few individual soldiers and horses could enter his eyes, which was useful.

Suddenly, there was a dusty air not far away, and a cavalry team galloped over, looking at the dust, Xue Ne roughly confirmed the number of the other party in his heart, about two thousand, and couldn't help but show a look of expectation, there were not many cavalry who came to report, and now he was lacking a cavalry team that could take on a big responsibility.

The dust was getting closer, and Xue Ne's eyes were getting brighter and brighter......

Just one mile away from the Fengtian military village, Wang Haibin pulled the reins and made a gesture to stop, and the remaining strength of the two thousand soldiers and horses was only fifteen zhang to buffer, and they had already stopped, silent.

Looking back, the soldiers he had carefully trained, Wang Haibin said in high spirits: "Brothers, the front is the Fengtian military village, which raises soldiers for a thousand days, and uses soldiers for a while." Isn't it because we suffer on weekdays that we are today? We are different from those ordinary soldiers who do nothing, boys were born in the world, if they don't do a vigorous career, it is better to be a girl and hide in the show building to embroider. ”

Wang Haibin is seven feet tall, in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and when he shouts, he is very powerful. He is a native of Taiyuan Qi, and he has admired the self-made Xue Rengui since he was a child. Although he is white, he has always been eager to achieve Xue Rengui's career and become the commander of the three armies with a large army.

He came to Longyou to ask for a life in his early years, and was famous for his courage in Longshang, and became a military envoy of Feng'an. Seeing that the Feng'an army had no fighting spirit, they were dissatisfied with each other's eating and waiting for death, and with their own personality charm, they instilled their lofty ambitions and ideals into their soldiers, and spent a year and a half training them, completely changing the old situation of the Feng'an army.

"Make a contribution, right now! Brothers, come with me! Wang Haibin waved his hand......

"Yes!" There were only 2,000 of them, but their cry shook the wilderness!

Looking at the soldiers he brought out, Wang Haibin's heart was full of pride and ambition, and he led a group of screaming soldiers to the Fengtian Military Village!!
