Chapter 284: Ambush
Chapter 307: Ambush
As soon as they saw this Kunlun Mountain Range, everyone was stunned by this majestic momentum. I saw that the mountains were continuous, like a dragon coiling; Rising from the sky, like a sword out of the sheath. When I raised my head, I saw that the white peaks were tall and straight, piercing the sky like a sharp sword.
The sky was blue, so clear, so pure. On the land, streams that flow down from the mountains meander at the foot of the mountains, and patches of green meadows are arranged on both sides of the streams, forming a large pasture.
When they saw the babbling stream and the crystal clear water, they were stunned at first, and then at the same time they shouted for joy and rushed to the nearest stream, leaned down, and drank the sweet and cold water of the stream. I saw the soldiers squatting next to each other on the west side of the stream in the direction of the stream, winding away. After drinking enough, he picked up the stream water and washed his face well, just when some soldiers wanted to untie their clothes and wash themselves in the stream, Zhang Yunwen stopped them: "We are galloping thousands of miles, but we are here to kill the enemy, not to play in the water!" ”
As soon as they heard this, the soldiers suddenly woke up from the ecstasy of seeing the stream, and immediately grasped their weapons and resumed their usual vigilance.
Zhang Yunwen ordered again: "All the soldiers rest on the spot, Liu Cheng, after you take thirty brothers to replenish water and food, set off immediately and investigate the situation from all sides!" ”
Liu Cheng nodded. After filling a jug of water with a tin kettle, a large piece of horse meat was stuffed into a bag, and the thirty scouts quickly left the area.
The rest of the soldiers who were resting here also sent people to serve as guards, and the rest quietly looked at the Kunlun Mountain in the distance or whispered something on the edge of the stream.
Zhang Yunwen sat between the Xue brothers and Qi Bi He Li, and behind them, sitting were their own soldiers.
"If you can capture Murong Fuyun alive this time, even if you have walked such a long way, it will be worth it!" Xue Wanche said with a smile. He looked a little haggard.
"yes, we've chased far enough this time! That's three thousand miles! Zhang Yunwen also smiled.
Look at everyone, they are all haggard and tired, and the beard at the chin is long and uneven. But there was no time to tidy up along the way, so in order not to hinder eating and drinking, he grabbed it directly and cut it with a dagger.
After resting for almost an hour, and having eaten a meal of horse meat in the stream, the army of 3,000 men began to move slowly again.
After walking for another half hour, he met a scout who was rushing back. As soon as he saw Zhang Yunwen, he said excitedly: "I found a camp a hundred miles in front of the leader, and there are a lot of livestock in it!" ”
As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Yunwen hurriedly asked, "Is it Fu Yun's tooth tent?" ”
The scout shook his head: "It doesn't look like it, this camp is only 500 people at most, but there are nearly 10,000 cattle and sheep, but it looks like a camp for local nomads!" ”
Zhang Yunwen pondered for a moment, but looked at the Xue family brothers and Qi Bi He Li next to him, and asked for their opinions, whether this camp will fight or not!
"How many horses are there in this camp?" ”
"Well, it looks like there should be a thousand horses!"
"Hit! Of course you have to fight! Hearing this number, Qibi He Li said excitedly, "A thousand horses can supplement our previous losses, and with the addition of cattle and sheep as military rations, even if we catch up with Khotan, we can catch up!" ”
Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche also nodded at the same time.
"Good!" Zhang Yunwen said loudly, "In that case, then please ask Brother Qibi to order the cavalry under his command to destroy this camp in one fell swoop!" I'll just cheer you on! Uh, Brother Qibi, it's okay for you to take down these five hundred people with a thousand people, right? ”
Qi Bi He Li immediately patted his chest: "Don't worry, wrap it on me!" ”
And the cigar brother saw that the camp was not Fu Yun's, so he did not express any objection.
Chemo turned around and shouted something in Turkic for his Turkic cavalry. A moment later, a thousand cavalry slowly departed the ranks, and under his leadership, followed the scout in the direction of the camp.
Seeing the appearance of Qi Bi He Li swinging his scimitar and rushing forward, Zhang Yunwen said with a smile: "Brother Qi Bi is really a tiger general!" ”
Xue Wanjun snorted coldly, and looked at the back of Qi Qi He Li with some disdain.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help frowning slightly, but said in his mouth: "I'll wait to see how the situation is over there!" ”
The three of them immediately followed his men and horses with Qi Bi He Li.
The camp is located on a gentle slope surrounded on all sides. Dense cattle and sheep and horses were leisurely grazing on the hillside, unaware that a team was slowly approaching.
When Zhang Yunwen and the others spent more than an hour riding horses outside this camp, he glanced at this camp and shouted in a low voice: "No! Seeing that Qi Bi He Li was about to lead the army to kill, he hurriedly asked people to stop him.
"Yunwen, why are you stopping me?" Qi Qi He Li asked very unhappily.
Zhang Yunwen pointed to the camp tent with a calm face and said, "I'm sure that this is not a nomadic camp, it must be the camp of the Tuyuhun army!" If you look at the layout of this camp, it is faintly like a military formation, and you may see the patterns on the camp tents, which are the same as those we saw in the palace of the Tuyuhun king. Also, this place is located in the northwest of Juru River, isn't it the road that Fu Yun is about to defect to Khotan? ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three of them suddenly glowed with a hot light: "Yunwen is saying that this is Fu Yun's camp, not some nomad's camp?" ”
Zaiya nodded, glaring fiercely at the scout who was reporting the news. The latter hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Yunwen's gaze.
He Li and the Xue family brothers hurriedly turned around, wanting to gather troops to attack. Zhang Yunwen hurriedly said: "We need to plan, we can't let Fu Yun run away anymore!" ”
Xue Wan said without looking back: "What else do you need to plan, I'll wait for the troops to be killed, you let your scouts pay attention on all sides and don't miss a single person!" ”
The three of them were eager to make meritorious contributions, and even if they led the troops away, the angry Zhang Yunwen waved his horsewhip fiercely. Let a few of you bastards take the credit, what else does Lao Tzu do? But you have to do what Xue Wanche said, scatter the scouts nearby, and wind up the crossbow arrows to prevent anyone from escaping.
Two thousand cavalry charged away, and this formation had long been seen by the people on the hillside. Suddenly, the crowd poured out of the camp, and there were as many as a thousand people, and there were 500 people.
The thousand men quickly divided into two groups, and a cavalry of nearly 600 people shouted loudly, brandished the weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the cavalry of the Tang Army. The other group galloped to the northwest.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen hurriedly ordered his corporal to go to the northwest to intercept him.
The 600 cavalry originally wanted to obstruct the Tang army for a moment and a half, so as to win the opportunity for the more than 400 cavalry to evacuate, but they were faced with a group of bloodthirsty soldiers who had eaten more than ten days of horse meat and drank more than ten days of horse blood.
So the 600 cavalry lasted less than three quarters of an hour, and then the whole army was destroyed, leaving only 600 horses to gnaw the grass on the ground in silence on the battlefield.
On the other side, the scouts intercepted the 400 cavalry fleeing northwest. Who knew that these 400 cavalry were actually divided into 200 cavalry to break off, and the rest continued to flee to the northwest.
Zhang Yunwen saw that the battle between He Li and the Xue family brothers was about to end, and immediately shouted loudly: "Regardless of these cavalry, let me go to ambush Yun!" As he spoke, he galloped northwest on horseback.
The scouts behind him also quickly got rid of the entanglement of the two hundred cavalry and followed Zhang Yunwen to chase after him. And the two hundred cavalry were stunned for a moment, and actually followed the scouts.
The steel crossbow in his hand constantly shoots deadly crossbow arrows. Although it is not easy to shoot when there are bumps on horseback, it can still hit seven out of ten. The Tuyuhun people in front of them kept being shot off their horses and falling to the ground.
When they were less than fifty men, the Tuyuhun people stopped their horses and stopped running.
Zhang Yunwen hurriedly asked the soldiers to surround these people.
The two hundred Tuyuhun cavalry chasing after Zhang Yunwen immediately arrived, and when they saw this situation, they were stunned at first, and then they all broke into the encirclement and joined the more than 50 people.
At this time, an old man came out of the crowd, glanced around at the surrounding soldiers and horses, and immediately praised "tsk": "The Tang Dynasty soldiers are really strong, they can be called elite, Ben Khan can still catch up after running thousands of miles!" Ben Khan really regretted going against Datang! ”
Hearing that he called himself "Ben Khan", Zhang Yunwen immediately knew that this person was Fu Yun, and immediately hugged his fists and smiled: "It turns out that you are Fu Yun Khan, it is better to meet if you are really famous!" ”
Fu Yun asked a little decadently: "What is famous is better than meeting, what is the good thing about meeting in this situation!" It's better not to see it! ”
At this time, I only heard the hooves of the horses behind me, but it was Qi Bi He Li and the Xue family brothers who rushed over.
As soon as he saw the situation in the field, Qi Qi He Li suddenly shouted: "You are Fu Yun Lao'er, it just so happened that General Ben captured you alive, go back to receive the merit!" ”
Xue Wanche next to him said: "Why are you going to capture it, it should be captured by this general!" ”
Hearing the words of the two, Fu Yun couldn't help laughing miserably: "I miss me Murong Fuyun, half my life, I can't imagine that I will be humiliated by others today, I am really unwilling!" How can Ben Khan make you wait for your wishes? As he spoke, he pulled out a scimitar and wiped his throat to kill himself.
More than 200 Tuyuhun knights shouted at the same time: "Great Khan! "They all committed suicide and followed Fu Yun.
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Yunwen was speechless. And Xue Wanche stepped forward to cut off Fu Yun's head, holding the head, and laughed "haha".
Now that they have broken the Fuyun and captured so many livestock, it is time for the people to return to the city.
Unlike when they came, they were able to return calmly. So they specially bypassed the sand moraine and drove the cattle and sheep to the east.
However, they didn't know that not only did they kill Fu Yun on their side, but the Southern Route Army was chasing after Xingsuchuan, seeing that it was fruitless, and on the way back to Fu Qi City to meet Li Jing, they actually met the King of Tianzhu who led thousands of remnants of soldiers to wander around.
As a result, this Tuyuhun minister became a prisoner of the Tang army. He did not have the courage of Fu Yun, committed suicide in the midst of the siege, and decided his life and death, but chose to become a prisoner of the Tang army.
After the army returned to Fuqi City, Li Jing handed over the Tianzhu King to the new Great Khan Murong Shun. And the latter ordered the king of the Heavenly Pillar to be killed in public.
So far, the two people who provoked the war between Tuyuhun and Datang have all been ambushed.
