Chapter 685: Shattering Dreams
In the evening, the mist arose, and Aduya was supervising the army on the ancient channel of the Wei River between the two mountain beams, and reported in front that a wooden bridge crossing the river had been demolished, and the army could not cross the river. Aduya said angrily: "You can't cross the river without a bridge, how deep the river is. "Driving the horse forward, the river was located at the bottom of a stream, and the demolished bridge was built across the mountain stream, and the horse could cross the river but could not cross the mountain stream, so it was difficult to cross the river without a bridge.
Aduya had no choice but to call out Feng Xiang to build Wang Chun, and ordered him to repair the wooden bridge overnight, and if the bridge could not be built at dawn, he would be disposed of by military law.
Wang Chun was extremely depressed when he received the order, the Tubo people were arrogant and unreasonable, and if they really missed the deadline, they must lose their heads, but this mountain stream is so wide, and there is no material to take advantage of, how can it be completed overnight?
Aduya observed the terrain and set camp at the widest point between the two mountains. This is the old road of the Wei River, and water gushes up after digging a few feet down. Because of the abundance of water, the fog quickly fills up at nightfall, and the nights in late summer and early autumn are bitingly cold. Aduya drank wine, ate meat, and was about to undress and rest, when suddenly his heart chuckled, only to feel that something was wrong, he jumped up, grabbed a steel axe and went out of the door, a feather arrow with a sharp whistling head-on, Aduya was in danger, and grabbed a guard in front of his chest, and the feather arrow hit the heart of the guard. The armor was thick and unscathed.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The alarm sounded all around, and the various departments gathered to fight, Aduya turned around and ran back to the tent, took the iron and iron bones in his hand, and ordered the battalion owners to join the Chinese army in the future.
But it was too late, countless feathered arrows pierced the night sky and flew into the camp, and the drums sounded like thunder in the dense fog around them, as if thousands of troops rushed to kill them. The battalion commanders were all heartbroken and asked to return to the battalion to preside over the battle.
Aduya smiled coldly, and said nonchalantly: "Bluff, the surrounding terrain is not conducive to the ambush of the army, and there must be a small group of ambush soldiers to harass it." I asked you to come here, because I was afraid that you would not be able to hold your breath, so you rushed out of the camp and fell into their way. ”
The territory of Longxi is vast, all ethnic groups are good at using cavalry to fight, the offensive and defensive battles are as fast as the wind, the momentum is like thunder, and the battles are often extremely tragic. The Tubo people have been fighting in Longxi for many years and are very familiar with this. Therefore, despite the surprise attack of a strong enemy, the Tibetans quickly calmed down. Ready, ready.
As Aduya expected, the expected strong enemy surprise attack did not appear, and the fog outside the camp was so thick that no one could be seen when he passed by, only the sound of drums was heard, but no one attacked.
Before the battle, people are the most nervous and excited, but this tension and excitement do not last long, and the excitement is followed by exhaustion and low morale.
The tense nerves of the Tibetans were quickly relaxed, and the soldiers on the front line even yawned with their carbines, and the drums in the distance were still ringing, but the dense rain of arrows had long since stopped. Occasionally, a few cold arrows floated in, but they didn't play any role in the face of full heavy armor protection.
A few rockets ignited some tents, but due to the extreme humidity in the valley, the fire was quickly controlled, and the Tang army obviously understood this truth, so they did not use many rockets. Aduya even suspected that his soldiers might fall asleep out of boredom if the drumming outside the camp stopped.
In the second half of the night, everyone was convinced that there were only some stragglers outside the camp, bluffing and exhausting the enemy, and they did not have the courage to rush in and fight to the death.
But Aduya didn't dare to take it lightly, he had to have a few more eyes when fighting with the Tang people, they had too long a history and had fought too many battles, whether it was a general or an ordinary soldier, they were all cunning.
I don't know when the drums outside the camp stopped, and the surroundings became deathly quiet, Aduya took a nap and had a little dream, in the dream he walked in the magnificent Daming Palace, the Daming Palace is really big and magnificent, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty used castrated men to serve him, and served his queen and concubines with thousands of beautiful women, living in such a magnificent palace, accompanied by so many beautiful women, thinking about it is really a great enjoyment of life. Behold, the four queen dowagers of the Tang Dynasty came to greet him in full costume. They are really graceful and luxurious, although they are the queen mother, they are actually not very old, twenty-seven, eighty-eight, and early thirties, which is the most charming and moving age for women. Even the eldest Empress Dowager Guo is still delicate and still attractive.
Her maiden Guo family is probably the most prestigious family in Datang except for the royal Li family, she was born in a splendid family, grew up in the gate of wealth and nobility, just like the fairy who is high above, eats and drinks dew, never eats the fireworks of the world, and has never been contaminated by the vulgar dust of the world, she is so holy, the kind of dignity and calmness that comes out of her bones, it is really intoxicating. Although the other three queen mothers were a little bit hot, they smiled and smiled, and their every move was to brighten the eyes of the blind dog......
There are droplets of water sliding over the face, and it is saliva. It's really unproductive, and I drool in my dreams......
Wrong! How did saliva get to the forehead?
Aduya woke up suddenly, and he was shocked to see a dead man's face, it was his personal guard, his eyes burst out, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and the blood was falling on his forehead and face drop by drop.
“…… Don, kill ......"
After the guard finished reporting, he slammed it and spurted blood to death.
In all fairness, Aduya was very annoyed, but what else could he do with such a loyal guard, insulting his corpse was a desecration of loyalty, he gently pushed away the guard's corpse, only to find that his felt tent had been shot by the Tang people's crossbow arrows.
Tang Renjing is good at using arrows, he has long known this, and even his felt tent has been shot like this, which means that they have approached very closely, and most of them have already entered the camp.
Grabbing the steel axe in his hand, he heard the whistling of feather arrows everywhere, so he grabbed another round cavalry shield in his hand.
It was already dawn, and the Tang army took advantage of the darkest moment before dawn to launch an attack, tossing the defenders who had not slept all night, and they were all sleepy and difficult to support at the moment.
In addition to Aduya, there were many people napping in the camp.
Before the Tang army attacked the camp, it summoned meteors in the sky, and countless huge fireballs fell from the sky, smashing into the camp viciously, burning countless felt tents, burning countless sleeping soldiers, and even more so that countless soldiers who were not afraid of death were on fire, twisting their bodies frantically and shouting, their terrible and desperate shouts were more lethal than the Tang army that rushed over to kill them.
Many of the Tibetans had already been defeated by themselves before they had even met the real enemy.
Of course, the real enemy was also extremely fierce, and they had not seen such a fierce Tang army since the spring attack on Jingzhou. Because of the dissatisfaction with the harsh conditions, poor treatment, and low morale of the western border army in Beijing, as long as you don't force them to the death, they usually won't play with you, and they often collapse at the first touch. The strength of the towns in Guanzhong is slightly stronger, but their temperance makes their selfishness extremely heavy, restraining their hands and feet, making them unable to lift their spirits and fight tough battles. Like the "Iron Qilin", known as the first tiger division in the Central Plains, although it is well-equipped and has a great reputation, it is as slippery as a loach, let alone fighting, it is difficult to climb to the sky if you want to fight with them.
But the temperament of the Tang army that rushed over was different, they were low-key, fierce, and tendonous, in order to win, they rushed and fought fiercely, and they were not afraid of death, as if their heads were on other people's necks.
It's a sophisticated, cunning, and murderous killing machine.
How can humans and machines win, flesh and blood can't carry the steel beast.
In the face of the opponents who poured over from all directions, Aduya called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, and could not organize any resistance at all, and in the chaos, he followed him to the elite of Qingshui, who was in Longxi and swept Guanzhong, and was slaughtered like cattle and sheep.
An ironclad cavalry broke away from the battlefield and returned to the Chinese army, where they were to protect Aduya's retreat. Thousands of troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, this sentence is more suitable for the Tibetan people, their generals in addition to being proficient in the art of war strategy, but also must have a good background, which makes their senior generals come from a narrow source, all of them are treasures, and the senior generals who can fight well are even more valuable as national treasures.
When leaving Chang'an, the first capital gave them a death order, no matter what the victory or defeat, the absolute safety of Aduya must be guaranteed, and the soldiers can be recruited again, and the famous general is dead, so how many young people will come out.
Aduya was unwilling, but reason told him that it was useless to die in vain, and that it would be ruined in this unknown valley, and that death would be in vain, and it would have no effect.
He discarded the steel axe that symbolized power and status, grabbed an ordinary scimitar, and at the same time untied his purple cloak, changed into a pocket, blended in the crowd, and broke through to the southwest, which was the "life gate" he had reserved.
Seeing a Tibetan cavalry break out of the chaos, Shi Xiong, who was watching the battle from a distance, said to Xi Xiangling, who was supervising the battle beside him: "Believe it or not, there must be big fish there, let's make a bet." Xi Xiangling said, "I bet you must have a way to hold that big fish." Shi Xiong laughed, waved his hand to the herald, and beckoned Shi Yi, the left vanguard, and Chen Lucheng, the capture army, to immediately lead a light horse to chase after him.
The second general had already been unable to bear it, so he had to kill him like a whirlwind, Shi Yi entangled Aduya to attract his attention, and Chen Lucheng plunged into the pine forest and set up an ambush. When Shi Yi drove people over, he suddenly killed, and completely annihilated this Tubo cavalry in front of the pine forest, and captured the Tubo Qingshui Xijiedu envoy and Yuanzhou Thorn Shi Aduya.
