Chapter 24: The War Is Not Peaceful (3)

Miao Zhi thought for a moment that he was going to lose.

Miao gave 1,000 to 4,000, and although he resisted a little hard, his troops won in a strict formation. Stable as the long embankment of the river, the Tubo cavalry that rushed over was blocked in front of the battle with a strong crossbow. His excellent command brought the strength of his thousands of men into full play.

With the sound of drums, the arrows that came out of the string were as dense as flying locusts. The Tubo elite cavalry of Yu Zang's family could not break through the defense line drawn by the rain of arrows at all, and could not even approach the distance of thirty steps in front of the Song army's formation. The Tibetans did not think about taking advantage of the superiority in military strength. Since the start of the war, the Yu Zang army has twice sent detachments to bypass the frontal battle line in an attempt to flank the Song army's array.

But after decades of leading the army, Miao Zhu's grasp of the battlefield terrain has long been perfect. The site he chose was close to the foothills, and the surface of the loess had been washed out of the ravines by the summer rains. Although the ditch had long since dried up at this time, these small ravines were enough to make it difficult for the cavalry. And the cavalry, which slowed down and could not charge, was the best target for archers.

Hundreds of casualties were paid, and the horns that came from under the white dakun on the opposite side were faster than the other. But no matter how the Tubo commander under Daxu urged, there was still an insurmountable blank space at the front of the Song army's array.

The angry horn made Miao Shu squint his eyes and enjoy it. The miserable howls of the Tubo people, which reverberated all the time on the battlefield, sounded to him even more beautiful than the songs of the Oirans in the capital workshop.

"Hahaha! Well cummed!! ”

Looking at a Tubo warrior who was relying on the armor on his body and rushing forward under the rain of arrows, even the people and horses were shot into hedgehogs by a strong crossbow of four or five stones, Miao Zhu laughed wildly. After going to the battlefield, his gentle skin had already been thrown out of the clouds by him. If the officials in the ancient Wei village could come to the battlefield and come to the front of Miao Zhu, they would never believe that this middle-aged man who was gritting his teeth and blushing with excitement for the war would be more like a famous doctor than Wang Shao, who was born in Jinshi, and Miao Duxun, who has always been graceful and elegant.

Since Miao Zhu arrived in Guwei, he has never been so happy. This time, he was ordered to lead the army into battle, abandoning the Tibetan people of the Nazhi Linzhan Department in Weiyuan Fort, and did not recruit the archers of the township army, but only brought a thousand forbidden troops who had gone into battle. Although Wang Shao is not worried about this, from the current situation, it seems that his choice has brought the best results. Strength does not necessarily represent strength, and the elite and long-experienced Kansai Forbidden Army is not comparable to the Tibetan and township troops.

Miao Zhu believed that with only the 1,000 people in his hands, he was enough to defeat the 6,000 army that Yu Zang Huama had put together. Even if Han Gang, whose speed is higher than that of a snail, can come after the last, he can only eat some leftovers.

Thinking that he could single-handedly occupy the army's victory, Miao Zhi couldn't help the ecstasy in his heart. And the excitement of the inspection of the Western Road Capital was maintained until the moment when a Tubo cavalry suddenly came out from the direction of Xingluo Yucheng.

Miao Zhuzheng's blood boiled from the thunderous war drums, and the moment he saw the other party, he froze all of a sudden. The army that broke into the battlefield, waving the flag of the general was in the style of Western Xia, and there was a burst of crazy cheers under the banner of Yu Zang. With a strength of nearly 2,000 men, Miao Zhi and his sons had half the number of enemies they had to deal with. Moreover, these cavalrymen also waved many military flags belonging to the Great Song Dynasty, which knocked down the morale of the Song army to the lowest point.

In order to keep the soldiers under his command confident enough, when Miao Zhu came all the way, he did not instill in them that Han Gang would bring reinforcements. But what appeared in front of them right now was not Han Jiyi, who was famous as Qin Feng, but the Tubo cavalry who belonged to the enemy army.

The appearance of reinforcements made the battle situation begin to shift to the side of Yu Zang's army. The drumbeat revealed panic, and the arrow array showed a flaw in an instant. Seizing this opportunity, after a sharp horn, a team of armored cavalry suddenly started, and for the first time since the start of the battle, it rushed to the front of the Song army.

Although he used the Divine Arm Bow Team led by himself to force this cavalry back, Miao Zhi was already thinking about how to retreat safely. Just a moment later, another Tibetan cavalry rushed into the battlefield. Seeing the attire of the cavalry, many people were cold for a while. In their eyes, Han Gang's flag had become a symbol of the defeat of the Song army. However, Yu Zang Huama's next reaction made them finally understand that it was their own people who came this time.

"It's Han Yukun! It was the Qingtang tribe that Han Yukun brought back! ”

Miao Zhi, whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, found a group of cavalry in Han family attire in that team. Although they looked a little embarrassed, Miao Zhi looked at his army, but it was by no means a defeated army.

Although it was not clear why Han Gang came with the two thousand thieves, and it was not clear why these thieves were holding the battle flag of the Great Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the Song army had begun to rejoice at the arrival of reinforcements, and the morale of the bottom limit had begun to slowly recover.

Yu Zang Huama watched the opponent's reinforcements appear in front of him again, and under Mu Ran's face, there was a stomach full of hatred. He didn't have much hope for a group of waste, but seeing them holding the Song people's military flag and armor, he thought that he had won a surprise victory. I didn't expect it, but it was like this!

The extraordinary intelligence made Yu Zang Huama quickly think through everything. He sent out a group of waste, swallowed the bait sent by the Song people, but succeeded in spitting out the hook. It was a good thing that they didn't fall into the ambush, but they didn't complete the task he gave him - they even let Blind Medicine return to the battlefield with his soldiers.

has lost the chance to win, Yu Zang Huama has a number in his heart. What you can't do with four to one, it's even more impossible to succeed when you're six to two. Taking advantage of the fact that the Song army infantry in the Star Luo Junction City had not yet arrived, he had to leave early. Of course, he needs someone to help stop the chasing soldiers for him and be a palace queen - looking at the partial division composed of vassal tribes as the main body that joined the main formation, the eyes of the head of the Yuzang family became deeper and deeper.

One hundred and ten trumpets sounded at the same time, and the sound of the trumpets echoed from the sky, a little more calm. Under the order of Yu Zang Huama, the Tubo cavalry, who had returned from the road leading to Xingluo Jiecheng one step earlier, slowly turned back and attacked the Qingtang Tibetan army, which had already gained a foothold on the edge of the battlefield.

Han Gang did not retreat again, he could start a guerrilla war before the reinforcements from Weiyuan Fort arrived on the battlefield, but in the case that Miao Zhu and Yu Zang Huama had already started a war, his slightest retreat would cause the collapse of friendly forces. At the same time, his appearance this time is already very embarrassing, and he doesn't want to lose face again. What's more, his infantry army will arrive soon, and the thousands of elites from the Kansai Forbidden Army will be enough to change the tide of the battle just by appearing on the battlefield. If you can rendezvous with Miao Zhu, victory is just around the corner. Therefore, Han Gang must first defend a corner of the battlefield for them.

The battlefield finally saw the cavalry fighting. The hedge of more than 3,000 cavalry, descending from a high place, was like two huge waves of yellow dust, instantly fierce. Bumped together. The neighing of human voices came from the clouds of smoke, and such a battle was ten times more tragic than the playful chase of the man.

Han Gang and Blind Medicine stood behind the battle, commanding their own team to fight the enemy with half of their troops, but the outcome has not yet been decided. Han Gang was full of spirits and was ready to make some achievements here. But at this moment, there was a shout at the mouth of the Dalai Valley, Han Gang looked over in surprise, Yu Zang Huama, who was located there, actually retreated, and the handsome flag was pulled, and he walked neatly, and the timing was also very ingenious.

In the case that Yu Zang Huama abandoned them, the enemy who was fighting to the death with the blind medicine lost all his fighting spirit in an instant. The impact of the blind medicine was like a hot knife cutting through the butter, causing the vassal army of the Yu Zang family to flee one after another and rush into the mountains. And the main force of Yu Zang Huama took advantage of this opportunity to retreat more quickly.

"They should be the abandoned sons of Yu Zang Huama...... Miao Lu speculated about Yu Zang Huama's intentions.

Miao Zhu turned his head and glared at his son, "It's good to know this kind of thing, why bother to say it...... It's all beheadings anyway, it doesn't matter who he is? ’

Leaving people down to the top tank, Yu Zang Huama retreated faster and faster. In the place where he had just inserted it, several decapitated corpses were lying on their backs, they were once the elders of the Yu Zang family in their lifetimes, but on the battlefield today, they were just nameless corpses.

After suffering two losses under Weiyuan Fort and Xingluo Jiecheng, Yu Zang Huama is indeed in desperate need of a victory. But his purpose is to maintain his authority and position, and victory is only a means to an end. If the same can be achieved by other means, he will not refuse to use it.

In the Tibetan tribe, there are many means to maintain one's position. You can buy it with gold and silver, or you can strengthen your reputation through continuous victories, and you can also consolidate it with the help of external forces, of course, it is more convenient to kill chickens and monkeys, kill a few disgruntled and dissenting rebels, and the rest will naturally be honest.

Yu Zang Huama was forced to the palace before the battle because of the unsmooth battle this time. Those who stand up are either the patriarchs of the vassal tribes or the elders of their own clans, all of whom are powerful factions with handkerchiefs and military power. Although he survived a level, Yu Zang Huama was ruthless, and he did it very simply, leaving the disobedient vassal tribes directly as outcasts, and at the same time, he directly started in the name of not obeying the military order, and beheaded the most disobedient people in his family together.

Lose what should be lost, and kill what should be killed. Now Yu Zang Huama is the only one in the tribe, once there is no opponent who will stand up for other people's affairs, even if he fails this time, it will not affect his status much.
