Chapter 213: Before the War
Behind Xue Ne, Liu Tao, the general of the army, Lu Yulun, the marching commander, Shi Feng Changde, the general of the Chinese army, Xue Chuzhen, the general of the right army, Zhang Bi of Yingyangwei, Murong Shun of Feixiongwei, Yin Wenshan, Ran Yangbo of Xuanwu Wei, and Li Xingzhou of Pingxi Army also gathered together.
At that moment, Xue Ne said slowly.
"The day after tomorrow, the battle will determine the fate of our Pingxi Army, no matter success or failure, we will remain in the annals of history forever."
Under the banner of the King of Tubo, the five guards of the Duo Dynasty and the five guards of the Autumn Cang also moved forward side by side.
Although it was not yet time for the decisive battle to begin, the respective units were spent in a completely different atmosphere.
Intense pre-war preparations were indispensable, and the Tibetan army was busy deploying troops, observing the terrain, inspecting the perimeter, and arranging the basic defense system.
The Pingxi army was busy observing everything the other side was doing.
It is better to lose first than to win.
Everyone else has done everything that should be done, and they can only let the opponent check it to their heart's content, and then make targeted arrangements.
So there was such a funny scene on both sides of the battlefield.
The battle flags of the Tubo army were fluttering, and the soldiers behind were sneakily planning to do some small actions, such as troop movements, which side would attack and which side would defend.
The Pingxi army kept sending scouts here, slipping here and looking there, trying to observe the cats.
The troops within the Tubo army ran to the east and the west for a while, and the scouts of the Pingxi army also followed to the east and the west.
At this moment, the Tibetan army was like a veiled girl, relying on constant movement and movement to avoid the opponent's sight.
And Pingxijun, a nimble little man, jumped up and down, desperately trying to lift the veil of the other party, see the true face, and kiss that face if necessary.
Interestingly, the Tibetan army is still struggling with the clean-up of the battlefield, the people in front are preparing for war, and the people in the back have to continue to clean up.
It is almost certain that before the start of the war, the Tibetan troops will not get a complete rest.
Now both sides are taking advantage of the opportunity of the time to rush and make various preparations.
Even if the scouts on both sides met, they only looked at each other from a distance.
Do not make close contact with each other to avoid starting a war in advance.
The commanders of various local units and the officers at the grassroots level even went to the front line one after another, standing on their horses one by one to observe each other's arrangements, trying to find an opportunity for victory and bring more victory to the upcoming decisive battle.
They hated to run directly into each other's camp, and they were relieved to shake hands and visit them one by one.
As for the senior operational commanders, they are even busier.
Both sides are first observing, then analyzing, and finally holding a pre-battle summary meeting to lay out plans for tomorrow's decisive battle based on the situation on the other side.
Although Xue Ne's side was well-planned and prepared for a rainy day, Renqin Gang was also decisive on the spot and acted resolutely.
In the huge tent of the command of the Chinese army, dozens of generals on each side gathered together, and when they went outside, they were all big names with surnames.
Xue Ne said impassionedly.
"Since the Tubo army entered our Tang Dynasty, they have been panicking like a lost dog, wandering around in our Tang Dynasty, harming my people and destroying my homeland. Today, Renqin Gang Xiao'er finally stopped doing the way of hiding dogs and rats, and dared to stand up and compete with our army. This is the best time for my Tubo to destroy the Pingxi Army, you should fight bravely and defeat the enemy! ”
On this day, the Tibetan army finally completed the work of cleaning up the battlefield, and they were extremely tired and fell asleep early.
The big battle is approaching, and every warrior needs to have enough rest in order to ensure the next day's physical strength.
On the opposite side of them, the soldiers of the Pingxi Army gathered around the bonfire, struck their shields with their swords, and chanted the ancient war song.
Melodious singing wafted into the enemy's camp, singing the ** of life, in the face of the big war, they were fearless and greeted each other with a smile.
......
Tubo is in a daze, and I don't know how long I have been asleep.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of killing in my ears, gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the drums and trumpets were noisy.
He sneered, rolled over and sat up, and now he heard it clearly.
There was thunder in the ears, and the cry of running resounded in the sky.
"The camp has been attacked, the camp has been attacked, the Pingxi army has attacked the camp!!"
What the?
Xue Ne really dared to attack the camp at night?
The ruler with Zhuyu was so frightened that he trembled. Although I had some psychological preparation earlier.
But at this moment, when the real thing came to an end, he couldn't believe it anymore.
He didn't have time to get dressed, and he rushed out of the tent like an angry bull.
As far as the eye could see, the surrounding soldiers were running and shouting, and the torches were all lit, and the flames spread into patches, stretching for dozens of miles.
There was shouting everywhere, soldiers running around, and there was a lot of chaos all around.
It seems that the people of the Pingxi Army have not rushed here, and the ruler took Zhuyu to settle the snack, and he shouted wildly with red eyes.
"Pro-Guard! Where's my personal guard? ”
Hundreds of soldiers rushed over.
"Daxiang, we're here!"
"What about the Pingxi Army? What about them? ”
The ruler with the jewel shouted wildly.
"I don't know, as soon as the alarm sounded, we got up, but I didn't see the people from the Pingxi Army rushing over."
A soldier replied in a loud voice.
"Shit, bastard! I need someone to tell me what's going on! You guys, go ahead and see what's going on! Fast! ”
The ruler with a jewel yelled.
The panic continued, but as the generals at all levels rushed out of their tents one by one, shouted at their subordinate soldiers, and organized their manpower, the chaotic situation gradually improved.
The soldiers began to reorganize their ranks, line up in sequence, and prepare for battle.
After a while, a soldier Pegasus returned to the side of the ruler and fell off the horse, shouting at Rinchen Gang.
"Back to Daxiang, I didn't see anyone from the Pingxi Army rushing over!"
"And what's going on with this mess just now?"
"Back to Daxiang, when I slept until midnight, the people of the Pingxi Army suddenly sounded the war drums, and then the soldiers in the front team charged at us. Our night garrison sounded the alarm in time, which led to an accident. ”
"What about them?"
"Back to the Great Minister, those soldiers rushed halfway to see that our alarm had sounded and went back to sleep."
"What?"
"You mean ....."
The soldier said boldly.
"Yes, the other party is a fake attack camp."
"Ahh
Jewel kicked the soldier over, swinging his sword in anger and roaring.
"Xenne! You bastard! You shameless scum, nasty filthy thing! ”
Putting down the clairvoyance, Li Xingzhou sneered.
"The old thing is very angry with us, but the middle air is still quite sufficient."
Wang Xingyan also said with a smile: "From the alarm sounded to the chaos was contained, it took three scales of time before and after, and the panic was very much at the beginning, but it became very slight later, which shows that the Tubo army is more than trained, but the response is insufficient, and the response of the generals is quite decent, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Wang Sili added.
"That's because we didn't really attack, we had to slash in front of our eyelids and calm the chaos without blinking, and that was a pass."
Da Xiong said proudly: "Not everyone can be like me in the Pingxi Army. ”
Yan Shun said.
"The alarm is together, the soldiers are panicked and disorderly, which shows that the psychological quality of this group of soldiers is not too hard, they are easy to be nervous, they obviously lack experience in big wars, and the cooperation of all units is not tacit enough.
Lin Yun said.
"The general of the army is not calm enough and irritable, but he still has some ability to control the army, and he has some ability to govern the army."
Big Bear said.
"The left and right armies each set up 2,500 camp tents, but they showed double torches, indicating that there is a dark army, and it looks like they are going to fight and fly together tomorrow.
Li Xingzhou said.
"The Left Route Army is the most chaotic, the longest, and should be the weakest group, tomorrow we will fight this point and use left-handed tactics."
Guo Shiheng said.
"But beware of the breakthrough of the opponent's mid-lane army."
Wang Xingyan said.
"The siren sounded from three places, all in the forefront, and the facts have been checked, and when the time comes, you only need to take these three places first, and the big thing can be decided."
Wang Sili said.
"After the chaos began, the enemy's information collection and transmission efficiency was even lower, and it took a full three scales to figure out the situation and report back to the manager. Tomorrow's War, under our attack, they will be less effective. ”
The generals will basically grasp all the observed situations.
"It's good, basically everything that needs to be mastered has been mastered."
Li Xingzhou smiled and clapped his hands.
"Let's all go back and rest, get a good night's sleep, tomorrow's battle will depend on you."
In the distance, there was still the angry scolding of the ruler bead jade floating in the sky.
That night, the Tubo people were so attacked by the fake attack camp of the Pingxi Army that no one could get a good night's sleep.
The officers and men of the Pingxi Army slept soundly for a good night.
The Tibetan army really wanted to kill the past and kill the other party, but they were afraid of being ambushed in the night battle.
War has always been like this, everyone wants to be a bitch, but everyone wants to set up a torii.
Li Xingzhou is not afraid, Lao Tzu is a bitch, and he resolutely does not set up an archway!
Not only to touch your bottom, but also to make you sleep badly!
It was an unprecedented Armageddon.
On one side is the king of a country, with a strong army in his hands, and on the other side is the commander of Pingxi, who has fought countless battles.
There is a huge disparity in the number of troops, but in addition to the number of troops, the differences between the two sides in terms of pre-war preparation, command, morale, and military quality are obviously superior to those of the Pingxi Army.
This is a truly elite force that has been tested by countless battles, and they have slain ten times as many enemies as themselves on the soil of Tibet, and have proved their glory with their own great victories.
In contrast, the large number of troops on the other side is inevitably uneven, and the troops organized by various tribes have serious problems in all aspects.
As a result, the tide of battle became confusing.
Now, the soldiers of both sides have set up their formations, and from a distance, the momentum of the Tubo army is truly magnificent, and it is a real banner covering the sun!
Large and small flags, from the canopy and king flag of the big Zampu, the handsome flag of the small Zampu, the military flag of the general, the team flag of all sizes, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple and other colors.
various patterns such as lions, bears, leopards, wolves, eagles, deer, snakes, cows, horses, etc.; Various shapes such as triangles, squares, prisms, etc.
All the combinations you can put together, here's everything.
The soldiers are like clouds, the army is mighty, overwhelming, and the overlapping ranks stretch for dozens of miles.
Whether it's yellow, green, black earth, the sergeants wear a variety of armor that shines in the bright sun.
Like flowing paint, wherever it flows, the original color of which land is completely obscured, and all that remains is armor and weapons that glitter in the sun.
Swords and guns are like a forest, and swords and halberds are towering!
Spears, scimitars, halberds, swords, battle axes, iron rods, all the weapons on display in museums can be found in this army.
From time to time, one or several teams raise their weapons and shout, and one or several forests of guns, swords, and halberds grow on the earth like a trick, one after another, endlessly.
The sharp murderous aura enveloped the ground and sky within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the sun seemed to be frightened to lose its color, open its mouth wide, and blush, surprised at such a masterpiece of human beings.
The war drums of the Tibetan people beat even louder.
The sound of trumpets, flutes, and trumpets stirred up the thunder and wind outside the sky, and the sound waves that shook the mountains and the sea were like thunder in the clear sky, rushing straight into the sky, and shaking people's eardrums with a bang!
Of course, this kind of parade is not for attacking.
Before the decisive battle begins, in addition to boosting the morale of the army, it is mainly used to launch a huge psychological impact on the opponent.
However, this kind of psychological impact formed by the grandiose performance of sound, color, light and shadow is really of little use to veterans who are used to big battles.
As a vanguard army, Li Xingzhou himself is a master-level figure in psychological warfare, and he has given his troops ear cotton early on, and the two balls of cotton are stuffed into the ears and eyes, and no matter how many gongs and drums are in the sky opposite you, you can't quarrel with yourself.
Without the cooperation of sound, the performance in front of them is like a pantomime dancing one after another, and the soldiers are purely watching the drama with the psychology of watching the excitement.
The soldiers of the Tibetan people were so shocked that their eardrums were about to burst, but the soldiers on the opposite side yawned lazily, as if to say that the war is based on the kung fu of the hands, and it is useless to shout and scream like this.
However, compared to the opponent's huge military appearance, the momentum is at its peak.
On Zuo Yiwei's side, although the scale of the 30,000-strong army itself cannot be considered small, he is really not afraid of not knowing the goods, but he is afraid of comparing the goods.
Compared to this, it is like a dwarf standing in front of a giant, and some of them can't get on the stage.
However, even so, Zuo Yiwei's military appearance still has its own set of highlights.
In the face of the spectacular lineup of the enemy, Zuo Yiwei was more ingenious in the arrangement of troops, and in the center of the front line, it was the first cavalry brigade of Da Xiong to take the lead.
The huge tower shield and iron spear that had only been disarmed from the Tibetan arsenal not long ago formed a spear shield array.
Behind each column of warriors, archers, axemen, and equipment soldiers are staggered, and various field vehicles such as defense armor vehicles, crossbow machines, and strong crossbow vehicles have appeared.
On the left and right sides of the battlefield are Zhang Bi's Eagle Yang Wei and Flying Bear Wei Murong Shun, who have newly replenished troops.
After the Battle of Shanzhou City, Zhang Bi and Murong Shun killed more than 30,000 people in Tubo in three consecutive days of pursuit, making the eastern part of Tubo almost no longer able to compete with the Pingxi Army.
Legend has it that Wu Zetian was overjoyed and intended to transfer Zhang Bi and Murong Shun to guard one side.
