Marba was experienced and knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the two would not be pleased, so the whip pointed at Ren Fei and said, "Are you sure that the other party is all workers in the quarry, and there is no Tang Army mixed in?" ”

Ren Fei was stunned, and when he saw that Marpa's whip was about to be whipped down again, he hurriedly shouted: "No, no, I'm sure no, they are all old faces, and there are no living people, unless the Tang Army lurked in half a year ago." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Marpa looked at the people who were running farther and farther away, and shouted, "Archie, you lead two thousand soldiers across the river in pursuit, remember, kill and wound as many people as possible." As soon as you encounter an immeasurable situation, you will immediately retreat. I'm here to block the Tang Army for you, don't worry about the pursuit! ”

In an instant, Marpa had made up his mind, and he had come here with all his might. If you get nothing and return to Tibet, you won't be able to confirm the title of "Big Snow Monkey". The Tang people are just a head, so why be afraid?

To deal with the people, let the deputy general Archie do.

He stayed behind to deal with the possible Tang army.

It can also be seen from this that Marpa is indeed worthy of the Tibetan generals and has rich experience. He wasn't sure if the current situation was Tang Jun's trick, but things had jumped out of the way, and whether there was a trick or not, he had to take precautions.

The most taboo thing about crossing the river was to attack the enemy halfway, and Marpa personally stayed behind to prevent the Tang army from using such tactics.

The Tang army can only use troops, but it is only 6,000 divine troops. The place where Kaningbu intercepted Sun Zhou was the most suitable place for cavalry galloping. It was impossible for the Don army to ignore it, and it was impossible to send infantry to intercept it. Only two thousand five hundred cavalry were available, and the number would not be less than one thousand and five. In this way, the soldiers of the Tang army who came to help would be 1,000 cavalry and 3,005 infantry soldiers.

If the Tang army attacked with cavalry, their 2,000 cavalry would have an absolute advantage, and if they attacked on foot, they could easily advance and retreat. If the Tang army transferred all the cavalry to intercept the Kaningbu, and there were 3,050 foot soldiers, it would be no better. In Taozhou, a land suitable for cavalry galloping, if it is not supplemented by the favorable time and place, ordinary foot soldiers cannot be the opponent of cavalry. Marpa was sure enough to break the 3,000 foot soldiers of the Tang army with 2,000 cavalry in his hands.

Marpa on all sides has thought about it and made himself invincible!

Archie had already led two thousand cavalry to start crossing the river, looking at the soldiers who had already crossed half of the soldiers, and there was no movement in the direction of the Shence army's barracks, Marpa suddenly felt that he was too worried, that Pei Min was only in his twenties, and he counted the number of times he had been on the battlefield, how could he have such an exquisite layout.

He was thinking about it when someone suddenly exclaimed, "What's that?" ”

Marpa had been paying attention to the position of the Shence army, and when he heard the exclamation, he looked at the upper reaches of the Taoshui River, and suddenly opened his eyes under this look: dozens of black shadows of all sizes appeared on the wide river channel upstream, and at this time, they were rushing towards the Tibetan soldiers crossing the river at a very fast speed!

There are more and more black shadows, densely packed with hundreds of rafts. There are many figures on it, and they are obviously all soldiers of the Divine Army!

Obviously! The war book taught him the knowledge of half-crossing and attacking, but it did not tell them that the divine soldiers descended from heaven!

"What's going on? How could the Tang Army have so many bamboo rafts? Marpa exclaimed, he never imagined that the Tang army would go downstream, but he couldn't think about it anymore, and shouted in a heart-splitting voice: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

It's just that the 2,000 Tubo army has already penetrated deep into the Tao River, and it is affected by the water resistance, how can it be said that it can be retreated?

But after all, he has been in battle for a long time, and when he was facing a crisis, he turned calm after a little panic, and shouted: "Hurry up and cover the centurion, all the warriors will shoot me at the opposite bamboo raft, they have nowhere to hide on the bamboo raft, it is our arrow target......"

Under his arrangement, the Tibetan soldiers retreated and fled in the water, and all the bows and arrows on the shore were taken out, ready to wait for the Tang army on the bamboo raft to enter the firing range, so as to give routine cover to the compatriots in the water.

Marpa had already taken out his bow and arrows, and seeing that the Tang army was about to enter the firing range, suddenly the soldiers in front of the Tang army on the bamboo raft on the opposite side moved back by two people, revealing the soldiers with crossbow arrows behind them!

Jiang Yue thought of the rampant attackers in Tibet that night, and their grain team, which caused the death of his boss and the demotion of the entire grain team. If it weren't for Pei Min to come to the rescue, I was afraid that he would still be in Lingnan with snakes and insects at this moment, his face showed a hideous color, and he shouted: "Shoot!" ”

The sky is full of crossbow arrows flying in the air!

Marpa was dumbfounded and at a loss: the Tang army's crossbow was unparalleled in the world, and the range of the Fuyuan crossbow was as high as 300 steps, far above the bow and arrow.

In this Taoshui River, there is no place to hide and hide, and in an instant, the soul-chasing crossbow arrows passed through the bodies of one Tubo soldier after another, and some even pierced two or three people with one arrow.

The Tibetan soldiers on the riverside fell to the ground one by one, and the blood gathered into a stream and flowed into the river.

"Bite them and don't let up!" Jiang Yue commanded calmly, in fact, there was no need for him to give a special order, and the strong crossbowmen who had been trained for a long time would also fire in layers in an orderly manner, making the crossbow arrows wave in waves, almost without any separation.

It was only five or six rounds, and there were not many Tubo soldiers standing on the riverbank, and most of the Tubo soldiers were frightened by the shooting, lying on the ground, crawling backwards.

"Change the target and shoot into the river!" Jiang Yue saw that there were no people standing on the riverbank, so he decisively changed his target to the Tubo soldiers in the center of the river.

Under the crossbows of 10,000 hair, the water was dyed red.

Marpa also lay on the ground, not daring to get up, looking at the scene in front of him, wanting to cry without tears.

The Tang Army's method of overlapping shooting is not invincible. They have been fighting with the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, and they have studied and understood the tactics of the Tang army, and they are entangled in the method of stacking ten thousand crossbows, even if the cavalry is fast, it is difficult to break free from the net, and the most effective way is to rush over and fight hand-to-hand with the Tang army with losses, so that the power of crossbow arrows can not be played.

But the Tang army was on the Taoshui River one by one, and with the help of geographical advantages, they had nowhere to get close. When it comes to shooting at them, how can a bow compare to a crossbow?

On this Tao River, the Tang army is almost invincible!

"Withdraw!" Marpa wanted to cry without tears, leading the remaining soldiers, and Ren crawled out of the range of the Fuyuan crossbow.

"Dive, crash over!" Jiang Yue gave the order again.

The Tang army in the vanguard jumped into the Tao River one by one!

The bamboo raft they vacated fiercely crashed into the Tibetan soldiers in the water.

The front edge of the bamboo raft has already been sharpened into a spike!

With the help of the momentum of the current, the sharp bamboo raft rushed towards the Tibetan soldiers who were struggling in the river. The two men and horses collided together, and scarlet blood spread across the river.

The Tubo soldiers, who were already on the run, were hit so violently that they broke into several knots.

The fierce Shence army swarmed up, the cavalry in the water was inferior to the foot soldiers, the thick cavalry spear could not be waved at all, and the light Tang knife was easy to stab whether it was holding its head high on the water surface or stabbing it under the water.

Marpa didn't really retreat, he still wanted to give it a fight to see if he could find a chance to save the Tibetan soldiers in the water.

But Jiang Yue didn't give him this opportunity either: there were always eight hundred Fu Yuan crossbowmen on the bamboo raft, and as long as they got close, they would definitely not be pleased!

Marpa just looked at it, watching his warriors being slaughtered one by one, his heart was like a knife, and he said bitterly: "Withdraw! ”

This time he really withdrew!

**********

News of Marpa's retreat reached a hidden hill three miles away.

"Sun Tzu Youyun, 'All those who fight, with the right together, with the odd victory. Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers and seas. The battle situation is not strange, and the change of Qizheng is invincible. Strange and positive are born together, such as the gratuitous cycle! Feng Changqing looked at Pei Min in front of him, and said with emotion: "Pei Tingshi's soldiers really have a deep understanding of the samadhi, the layout is wide, the enemy is clear, and the humble duty is convincing!" ”

Pei Min smiled when he heard this: "Chang Qing praises falsely, for this battle." You have suffered for most of the year in the land of Jiuqu in Hexi; After that, I planned for another half a year, but I didn't have this level at all, so what kind of war was there to fight, it was better to go home and farm! The show has just begun! As he spoke, he asked the five hundred cavalrymen behind him to tie branches to the tail of the horse, and said in a loud voice: "Chang Qing is waiting for the news of my triumph, this battle is won, and I recommend you as the state capital Sima!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he shouted five hundred cavalry and chased after Marpa.

The state capital Sima, second only to the second-in-command of the state governor Shi, Feng Changqing's thin body, was shocked in vain, and said loudly: "Humble duty is waiting for the triumph of the assassin Shi!" Suddenly, he felt a little hateful, why he was so short and broke his legs, and he couldn't follow Pei Min to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

Marpa had no idea what he could think about at the moment, and as for Kanymbu, he had to resign himself to fate.

Tang Jun is so well prepared, there must be a way to deal with it, and he can run one by one in the predicament, and he can't take care of so much.

Suddenly, he felt something strange behind him, but he saw that there was dust not far away, and it was obvious that a large force of cavalry was rapidly approaching them, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than 2,000 horsemen......

Looking left and right, there were only more than 1,500 people beside him, and their hearts shouted: "Not good! "They galloped all the way today, from the nine curves of Hexi into Taoshui to the quarry, this road did not stop, the physical consumption of the war horse was huge, the speed was greatly affected, so it was necessary to catch up. Without the slightest hesitation, Marpa ordered to be broken into pieces and scattered.

Just as Li Shimin's evaluation of foreign races: Seeing the benefits is the front, knowing the difficulties and leaving, galloping, and not constant. The bow and arrow are the minions, and the armor is the regular service. The team does not line up, and the battalion has no fixed place. Chase water and grass for the living room, take sheep and horses as military food, win and seek wealth, and there is no shame in defeat.

But when Marba really saw the number of Tang troops chasing up, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood!

The Tang army had only 500 people, and they were so frightened that they were broken into pieces, and they forcibly broke up their superiority in strength!

It is said that the Tang people are cunning, treacherous and unpredictable in their use of soldiers, and their routines are invincible, and it is not until today that Marpa realizes that the art of war he has learned is just a surface!
