Chapter 394 Calculate each other to see who is more skilled

The snowy plateau, there are Gobi Deserts, there are also dry grasslands in winter, and even swamps of water, if it weren't for the best guides sent by Princess Honghua on this march, and the Tubo boy from Gong to guide the way, Li Xian would have suffered a lot along the way. The Tang Army was originally mainly composed of military horses from the northwest, and it was also solemn along the way.

It is sung well in the song of Eile, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. Although there are no cattle and sheep now, standing under the blue sky, he does have a feeling of being wide and wide. Although fighting in this place is to worry about altitude sickness, there is another great advantage, that is, Marco eats grass and eats meat, and does not need to worry too much about the supply of baggage.

The Chinese army had passed by the burnt Tibetan camp a day earlier, and Li Xian had learned from the secret mark left by He Li that everything had gone according to plan, so he accelerated his advance. However, even if the rapid march, the Chinese army was still slow at this time, and the light cavalry that was good at running were all taken away by Qibi He Li, and this speed was even faster, and it took three full days for the entire army to cross the Shazhuyu River.

When he camped that night, Li Xian took his own soldiers out to inspect as usual, and after settling down in the Quartet, he was about to return to the camp, but he saw Nagong cutting a wooden stick with a knife there, his face was concentrated, and his eyes were very scary. Thinking that he hadn't communicated much with this Tibetan boy along the way, he stepped forward.

"What are you shaving?"

Gong looked up and saw that it was Li Xian, and immediately threw down his things, and bent down respectfully: "Your Highness, this is a skill that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. I just don't want to throw it down. ”

Li Xian became interested when he heard this. He simply sat down across from him: "Last time you said that you had a deep hatred with the Gar family, tell me what was going on?" ”

When someone mentioned that past, Gong's face suddenly showed a clear hatred. It was then replaced by deference and indifference: "Our family has carved statues for Zampu for generations, and they are very respected by others. Because his grandfather was close to the Lu family, the former Zampu had said bad things about Gardonzan when he was alive, and as a result, Zampu died, and little Zampu ascended the throne. As soon as Er Dongzan came back, he found the crime and killed my grandfather and father, because I was young, I was just degraded to a slave, and when Qinling came to the Tang Dynasty, he used me as a personal companion. ”

Keep the enemy's son by your side as a personal follower? Isn't this a ticking time bomb?

Gong saw Li Xian's thoughts at a glance, and bent down respectfully: "Your Highness, there were six of my brothers who were reduced to slaves at the beginning, and now I am the only one alive. The others have been killed for various reasons. If I can't save myself this time, I'll die sooner or later! Therefore, in order to repay His Highness for his kindness, I will do my best! ”

Stayed in Datang for four years. Gong's Chinese dialect is already similar, but the pronunciation of individual characters is still not very standard. However. This gritted expression overshadowed other factors, and Li Xian was the first to think of Gong's confession that he had been drugged in several mounts he was responsible for taking care of.

At that time, the only thing he thought of was Wei Xiaobao chasing Wu Yingxiong! It's a pity that his luck is obviously not as good as Wei Xiaobao, although he chased all the way to Liangzhou, he didn't even catch Qinling's hair at all.

However, although he failed to achieve the greatest purpose of his trip to the northwest, now he can lead his army to fight to the death with the other party, and if he wins, then he will get all the fields back!

"Don't worry, you'll have a chance for revenge!"

Li Xian clapped his hands and stood up, showed a bright smile to Gong, and then turned to leave, not noticing that the Tubo boy behind him was clenching his fists, his face full of excitement. And when he returned to his tent, Xue Dingshan, who had been following him closely, asked puzzledly: "Liulang, aren't you afraid that this guy is Qin Ling'an's fine work by your side?" ”

"You kid is too suspicious!" Li Xian patted Xue Dingshan's shoulder with a smile and pointed to the two specially made wooden folding chairs in the tent. When they sat down together, he said casually, "I took you to Chang'an that time, and then went all the way to chase Qinling, this kind of thing Qinling is impossible to expect even if it is an immortal." If Gong is not fine, of course it is best, if he is fine......"

He suddenly winked at Xue Dingshan: "Isn't this exactly what we want?" ”

"It's really a defeat for you!"

Facing such a guy who was in danger but still had no heart and lungs, Xue Dingshan could only hit his forehead with his hand, his face was full of helplessness, and the uneasiness in his heart still did not dissipate. Only a few people know the relevant battle strategy, and even those soldiers are not clear at all. However, even if you are well prepared, there is always a chance that something will happen...... If it really goes wrong, the result is absolutely unthinkable.

Seeing Xue Dingshan's face changing and looking uneasy, Li Xian didn't know what the other party was worried about: "Xiao Xue, if you have few soldiers, you have to rely on strategy, believe me, General Qibi and I will definitely be able to cooperate tacitly!" ”

"I hope so!"

Although it is a march, Li Xian has always been the type to sleep upside down, and he slept quite peacefully this night - in fact, the whole army was taking turns to rest this night, even if the weather on the plateau was originally colder than that in the Central Plains, but because there were many soldiers in this battle, and the preparations were sufficient, so he was not afraid of cold.

At dawn, the messenger again sent a battle report from Chebi Holi: Broken

The Tubo coalition army of 20,000 beheaded 2,000 and rushed straight into Wuhai.

At the same time that Li Xianzhongjun learned of this news, Qinling and Zanpo also intercepted a messenger at the same time, got the battle report, and immediately consulted it in front of the map. Almost immediately, Qin Ling slapped him hard, and then sneered: "It's actually this set again!" Seeing that Zanpo had a suspicious look on his face, he smiled and explained.

"In the past four years in Datang, I have studied some of the wars in Datang since the founding of the country. In these big battles, although the Tang Dynasty won more and lost less, but at the same time, there was a great feature, that is, in the first battle, the enemy was unprepared, and suddenly attacked with elite light cavalry, and then defended the enemy's battleground and led the army to help. But they held back the enemy with this elite, and then fought a decisive battle with a great army. This method can be described as tried and tested, whether it is the Eastern and Western Turks or Tiele Xue Yantuo, I don't know how many brave generals are defeated at this point! ”

"The second brother means to say. The same is true for this battle? Tsampa immediately bowed her head and studied the map again. His eyes lit up, "Qi Bi He Li is a veteran, and he will be responsible for this raid." It is precisely to attract our army to send troops to fight him, and the Chinese army led by King Yong is to fight a decisive battle with our army! Hahahaha, since you have seen through this, second brother, our army will naturally win this battle! ”

"If Tang Jun wants to tempt me, I will not be as good as they want!" There was a confident glow on the ground of Qinling, and he waved his hand down. "I will give up the front army of Qi Bi He Li and directly attack Li Xian's Chinese army, and when the Chinese army is defeated, the Tang army will be defeated! Li Xian, the king of Yong, is not an ordinary general, if he is captured, from now on, see what face Datang still has to compete with my Tubo! The humiliation I suffered in Datang will definitely be recovered this time! ”

You don't have to bring much food and grass with you. However, Li Xian carried a lot of baggage, so the so-called rapid march was no more than 100 miles a day at most, and there were often small groups of soldiers and horses from Tuyuhun who were familiar with the terrain to harass him. It dragged down a lot of speed, and except for the people who were killed during the fight. He let go of the rest of the prisoners of war, which made many low-ranking officers even more confused, and even the soldiers gradually discussed in private.

On this day, the Chinese army uncharacteristically did not set out early in the morning, but began to reorganize the army early in the morning, as if preparing for a battle here. When he was puzzled, Xin Wenling didn't explain anything, and sent a team of scouts as usual. Half an hour later, however, only one man turned back, covered in blood, and as soon as he reached the army, he rolled his saddle and dismounted, and shouted hoarsely, "The army...... The Tibetan army ......"

Xin Wenling didn't wait for the scout to finish speaking, he asked a series of questions like a cannon, and immediately issued a series of orders, because of the repeated harassment along the way, the whole army was already on alert, and the camp tent was still being strengthened just now, so it only took a quarter of an hour to unsheath the bow and sword, and soon set up a position in front of the camp tent. Yet, at about the same time, billowing smoke and dust rose from the horizon, and the sound of horses' hooves rushed towards them like thunder.

"Sure enough!"

Li Xian muttered, exchanged a look with Xue Dingshan, and hurriedly took a few steps back. Surrounded by a group of guards, he unfastened his yellow cloak and tucked it into his coat, while another general, with his helmet pressed low, in his place. When the guards dispersed and the general broke forward, he quietly and Xue Dingshan went to the left flank with three hundred pro-corps.

Seeing that Xue Dingshan beside him grabbed the spear tightly, and his expression seemed to freeze when he held it, he wanted to comfort him. However, he couldn't spit out these words when they came to his mouth, as if his whole throat was stiffened in an instant, and his heart was beating again and again. It was only then that he was sure that he was more nervous than the others.

This first battle is such a big scene, how many people are as "lucky" as him?

In the end, the words on his lips changed suddenly: "Xiao Xue, how long do you think it can last?" ”

Hearing Li Xian's hoarse voice, Xue Dingshan could only smile bitterly: "Tubo will definitely drive the Tuyuhun army to attack, judging from the current situation, if you want to maintain the formation, it should be able to last for an hour or two." Of course, the premise is that the Tibetans do not see our reality and reality. Rokuro, will this General Khimli really be able to arrive in time? ”

I don't know!

Li Xian gently pulled the bow in his hand, glanced at the spear hanging on the horse by the way, and gradually calmed down. His Chinese army is almost empty, and there are only 10,000 people when it is full...... As for the rear team that fell behind, they didn't mention it, and used 800 people to pretend to be 5,000 stance, and the rest of the light cavalry was all taken away by Qi He Li.

The Tang Dynasty used troops, and the highest ratio between infantry and cavalry was three to one, but this time there were not many troops in the northwest, and Li Zhiwu had an unprecedentedly strong cavalry ratio for his son, which was also the biggest reason why mobile warfare worked. However, a strategy is a strategy, if he can't support it here, even if he has the ability, it will be in vain!

Whether it can hold up the scheduled time and whether it can block the offensive of the Tubo people depends on whether Xin Wenling of the Chinese army is properly commanded, and in addition, it depends on the cavalry on the left flank.
