Chapter 368: Night Attack on the Tubo Camp

"Alas, since the beginning of the Great Sui, this Lu Wentai has been going from side to side, circling the countries to keep Gaochang safe, but now he is dying like this, it is really ...... Alas! After reading the detailed report on the death of Ko Wentai sent by Zhang Yunwen, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

Throwing the report aside, Li Shimin picked up another battle report. This is a battle report on the battle situation in Songzhou City that has just been sent from Songzhou City.

At this moment, the tense strings in my heart couldn't help but loosen. It reads: "Niu Jinda attacked the Tibetan camp at night, killed thousands of enemies, and retreated hundreds of miles." Li Daozong's army was less than 100 miles away from Songzhou City. ”

Before this battle, the Tang army did not know the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army, and similarly, the Tibetan army did not know the combat effectiveness of the Tang army. Although the two sides of Ningyuan Town fought once, although the Tubo army suffered heavy losses, it was victorious, and the Tang army retreated. It was also the Tubo people who did not pursue, and if they took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill, the Tang army's losses would probably be greater.

Of course, Li Shimin will not be convinced by this battle, because Tubo dispatched its elite royal army, while the Tang Dynasty dispatched only the Shuzhong Mansion soldiers. There were few wars in Shuzhong, and the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty was not too damaging to Shuzhong, so the soldiers of Shuzhong could be said to be recruits who had not experienced much war. With this kind of army against the elite of Tibet, Li Shimin will certainly not be convinced.

He looked forward to seeing what kind of results the Beiya Forbidden Army led by Niu Jinda and Li Daozong could bring. Now this phenol war report has ended one of his thoughts.

Raising his head and seeing the huge map hanging on the wall, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Niu Jinda touched the beads of sweat dripping from his face, and yelled at the knight beside him: "Brothers, work hard, and strive to rush to Songzhou as soon as possible!" ”

The knight beside him let out an earth-shattering roar: "Ahhh

As it is getting twilight today, this army is still rushing towards Songzhou non-stop.

Finally, when the sun had completely set, Niu Jinda asked the soldiers to stop and rest.

"Come, come here!" Niu Jinda pointed to a small soldier.

The soldier, who was dark-skinned and short-stated, heard Niu Jinda calling for himself, and hurriedly walked over.

"You are from Shu, you must be very familiar with this side, tell me where we are now, and how long will it take to reach Songzhou?"

The soldier bowed down and replied: "This is Longzhou, and if you go ten miles northwest to reach the border of Songzhou, if you want to reach Songzhou City, I am afraid it will take two days." ”

Niu Jinda nodded, patted the soldier's shoulder, and was about to ask him to retreat, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "You are a scout, right?" ”

"Back to the general, the villain is a scout!"

Niu Jinda grinned: "Lao Tzu just remembered that he asked Li Daozong for a hundred scouts when he left, but this rush, mixed together, Lao Tzu almost forgot." Hehe, look at you, although you are short, this strength is even more powerful than those guys! ”

The soldier was about to say a few polite words, but Niu Jinda patted the soldier on the shoulder: "Your general Zhang Yunwen and I are good friends, and that kid of my family is still a student of Zhang Yunwen!" Between you and me, you're welcome! ”

As he spoke, Niu Jinda yelled at the crowd: "Chengye, come out to Lao Tzu!" ”

According to the scout, he walked northwest until a day, and he saw a towering snow-capped mountain. Although it was summer at this time, when I looked at the mountain from afar, I saw that on the top of the mountain, a little snow was white, but it was the ice and snow that had not melted for 10,000 years.

Niu Jinda looked at the snow-capped mountain and pondered for a moment, but he ordered to go slowly and no longer rush to the road.

Although the people did not know what Niu Jinda wanted, they did it.

At full marching speed, Niu Jinda ordered his soldiers to rest on horseback.

It was not until the evening of the second day that the five thousand pioneers arrived at Songzhou City.

After entering the reconnaissance range of the Tibetan rangers, Niu Jinda released all 100 scouts with only one mission, to hunt down the Tibetan ranger scouts.

When the Scouts returned to their team, they brought with them more than a dozen scouts alive.

"Report to the general, the reconnaissance battalion dispatched 100 people, intercepted and killed 73 Tubo scouts, and captured 12 people!"

Niu Jinda nodded with satisfaction, and indeed looked at the captured Tibetan scouts.

"When you tell the location of the camp, General Ben will spare you from dying!" Niu Jinda roared at the Tibetan scout with a majestic face.

These Tibetan scouts suddenly roared loudly in the Tibetan language, their voices were terrible, and their expressions were hideous.

Niu Jinda frowned suddenly, and looked at those scouts again: "They don't speak Chinese?" ”

Without saying a word, one of the scout soldiers drew his three-edged thorn and walked up to one of the most powerful scouts, stabbing him in the thigh.

Suddenly, the blood bubbled out like a spring.

The scout was in pain and fell to his knees.

The scout didn't look at the kneeling man, and said to the remaining scouts: "I don't care if you can speak Chinese, now the general asks anything, you can answer, otherwise, just like this man!" ”

Hearing such unreasonable words, Niu Jinda was stunned at first, and then happy, heh, these boys are really taught by Zhang Yunwen, so unreasonable.

All the Tibetan scouts look at me, and I look at you, but they don't speak.

The soldier stepped forward, stepped into the shallow pool of blood, and said to the Tibetan scouts, "Do you know how this man will die? Within half an hour, the blood in his body will gradually drain, and in the process, he will slowly die of pain! ”

As soon as these words came out, the pupils of the two Tibetan scouts couldn't help shrinking.

The scout smiled and said, "It seems that some of you can still understand Chinese!" ”

As he spoke, he brought out the two people whose pupils had shrunk.

Looking at the two of them, the scout slammed into the thigh, stabbed one of them in the thigh, and then said to the two with a grin: "I will only help one of you stop the bleeding, you can think about it yourself!" ”

As he spoke, he dragged the two men to the opposite side of the camp so that they could not see each other.

In less than three quarters of an hour, the two soldiers who had taken the two men down rushed up and said in unison: "General, they are willing to speak!" ”

Niu Jinda laughed and slapped the scout on the shoulder: "Good boy, it's really yours, I asked it in two or three clicks!" Hmm, what's your name? ”

The scout arched his hand and said, "Subordinate Song Yi is now the lieutenant of Zhengliupin Zhaowu!" ”

Niu Jinda waved his hand: "What lieutenant is not lieutenant, after you go back, this general will definitely work for you, and there is no problem in being promoted to general!" ”

Song Yi hurriedly thanked him.

After asking the location of the Tubo camp, Niu Jinda gathered five thousand cavalry and said loudly: "Lao Tzu is going to attack the Tubo camp now, if any of you don't want to go, stand up for me!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but hang down a black line at the same time, is there such a question?

"It's good, no one came out, it seems that everyone is a man! Now, give you an hour, cook and rest, and when it gets completely dark, we'll set off! "The sun had not long set, and the western sky was still bright.

The soldiers responded with a bang, and then buried the pot to cook.

In the blink of an eye, the hour had passed. And the sky was completely dark.

"Yes, brethren, go!" Niu Jinda sat on top of the war horse and roared loudly.

His son Niu Chengye raised a mace of nearly 100 catties and let out a roar.

According to the Tibetan scouts, under the leadership of the scouts, 5,000 cavalry soon came to the periphery of the Tibetan camp.

As soon as they saw this big battalion, Niu Jinda and many soldiers couldn't help but let out a low laugh. This is a big camp, there are no antlers or fences, only a few Tibetan soldiers keep vigil there.

Song Yi approached Niu Jinda: "General Niu, my subordinates are willing to pull out these nails for the general!" ”

Niu Jinda said: "That's a good feeling, you guys go and pack up these sentries, Ben will take the big military rank and wrap his hooves, and follow immediately!" ”

Song Yi dismounted with five reconnaissance battalions and quietly leaned in the direction of the Tubo camp.

These Tubo people had 200,000 people, and in less than a month, they occupied most of the land in Songzhou, and they fought with the Tang army in the first battle of Ningyuan Town, and returned victoriously, so they couldn't help but feel arrogant.

So the defense of this large battalion was very relaxed.

Song Yi and the others quickly cleared the sentries and began to feel their way into the barracks. And the army led by Niu Jinda was less than a hundred steps away from the camp.

However, when Song Yi and the others touched inside, a scout was discovered by a highly alert Tubo soldier, and the other party yelled at the Tubo language, but fortunately Song Yi shot quickly, and the dagger shot out and inserted it into the man's throat. The man was stopped halfway through.

At this moment, there was a heroic and murderous roar from Niu Jinda: "Kill-"

Five thousand cavalry poured into the Tibetan camp like a flood, killing people when they saw them, and hitting the yurt when they saw the brazier.

For a moment, the entire barracks exploded like a barrel of explosives dropped on Mars.

Then the campfire of the camp, Tang Qi struck like a sharp sword from one end, and then from the other, back and forth, covering two rounds.

As the sharp sword, it is Niu Jinda and his son. Niu Jinda makes a horse lance, and when he meets people, he is a stab out, which is extremely neat. And Niu Chengye wielded a mace of nearly 100 catties, smashing it when he met people and weapons. The father and son cooperate tacitly, support each other, as a sword blade, invincible, nothing can stop the two.

After these two rounds of killing, the sound of the Tubo people shouting and killing came from all sides of the entire camp. Presumably, these Tibetans have recovered from the panic of the initial attack and have begun a full-scale counterattack.

"Withdraw!" Niu Jinda roared, and a lance pierced a Tubo person in front of him. Horses are at the forefront.

After that, the army followed, and after breaking through the Tibetan camp, they went all the way. The menacing Tibetans were left behind and roared loudly in the camp.
