Chapter 51: Dafeichuan 3

When Guo Zhifeng fought with the Tibetan general Grad, Siduo took 20,000 Tubo elite cavalry as the vanguard and 40,000 Tuyuhun troops as the rear and entered from the valley on the west side of the valley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The 30,000 Tuyuhun troops marching south of Fu Qi City converged with the 10,000 soldiers and horses advancing eastward from the grasslands north of Fuluochuan and slaughtered from the valley where Guo was sealed into the valley, and went straight to the Tang army camp, cutting off the Tang army's retreat.

Tang Jianglin, who led 3,000 soldiers to guard the camp, saw that the enemy army in the north was overwhelmed by the black pressure and fled without a fight, and fled to Guo Beifeng with only a small amount of baggage.

The 8,000 Tang soldiers on the battlefield who had not moved heard the sound of thousands of horses crashing as the ground shook in the rear, and they all looked back. It's okay not to look at it, but everyone is shocked when they see it.

Tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops were overwhelmingly killing them from the rear, and what was even more desperate was that a black line in the west of the valley was rushing towards the battlefield at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the shouts of the Tubo people could be heard clearly for miles.

When Gele saw the reinforcements from the north and west arrive, the whole person danced excitedly, and shouted at the soldiers who were fighting fiercely in front of him: "The sons and daughters of Tibet, the reinforcements have arrived, and the Tang people have been surrounded by us on all sides with the fish and shrimp in the net, and the time has come to take the head of the Tang people." ”

The 12,000 Tubo soldiers who had not yet gone into battle had already lost their original look of fear and worry, and now their morale was high and excited, and they were as ruddy and clear as apples.

The Tibetan soldiers held the weapons in their hands and shouted reinforcements to the battlefield so that the Tang people would be defeated, in order to disturb the morale of the Tang army. If it weren't for Geler's order, they would have rushed up and cut off the Tang people's heads by the time of the war.

The Tubo army, which was fighting with the Tang army on the battlefield, heard the news of reinforcements and the Tang people being surrounded in the rear array, and one by one raised a courage to fight with the Tang people in front of them.

The Tang soldiers on the battlefield did not know that they were surrounded in the valley, and in the struggle to fight, they saw that the Tubo people were almost unable to hold on, but at this time, shouts and cheers came from the Tubo army formation over and over again. The Tubo people who were almost invincible in front of them immediately changed their declining trend, and everyone was excited as if they saw a naked beauty rushing towards the Tang army.

Li Xing suddenly felt a great increase in pressure, these Tubo people did not want to kill themselves, the powerful horse lance in his hand needed strength to swing, the fierce battle was almost half an hour, the strength in his body was losing little by little, but the morale of the Tubo people who were about to lose greatly increased.

The shouts in the Tubo army formation It is impossible for no one in the Tang army to understand the Tubo language, and most of the soldiers and horses led by Guo Beifeng are Chinese living in the Longyou region, and they have been in contact with Tubo for so many years, so they naturally understand some Tubo language.

So much so that after understanding what the Tubo people were saying, some Tang soldiers were emboldened and anxiously tried to go to the rear to check whether it was true, but many of them were killed by the Tubo people.

Li Xing, who was in the middle of the fight, saw that the soldiers who were still fighting just now were shouted by the Tubo people, but he was not fighting, but his face was shocked and retreated, puzzled.

However, it didn't confuse for long, many generals in the Tibetan army were fluent in Chinese, which would be sent by Gele to the front of the battle to shout at the Tang army on the battlefield that the Tang people were surrounded, and hundreds of thousands of Tibetan reinforcements were killed from the north and west.

The standard Guan Zhong of the Tubo army said in a loud voice, which would not understand and could not understand the Tang army soldiers, and finally understood why the morale of the Tubo people was suddenly high.

Damn, hundreds of thousands of Tibetan reinforcements have entered this four-stopper-like valley, can the Tubo people not be demoralized?

MLGB, Guo Beifeng wanted to scold his mother directly, his face had already lost his previous excitement and confidence, and his face was extremely ugly: "Immediately send a sentry to find out the situation of the Tubo troops on the north and west roads, Zhang Ran, you will check in person on the west road." ”

"No!" Zhang Ran rode his horse with a heavy heart and rode west with a team of sentinels.

The rivers in the valley merge into a small river in the middle of the valley and flow out of the valley to the west, although the river flow is small, but the river bed is wide and flat. This is also the army that the Tang army can see with the eyes of the black oppressive and oppressive courage of Tubo dozens of miles away.

In the middle of the valley, there is a small mountain range, located in the east of the confluence of the two rivers in the north and south of the valley, not far away, and four miles to the southeast is the battlefield of the Tang army and the Tibetan army.

Zhang Ran led the sentry cavalry to the highest place here, and the whole picture of the Tibetan reinforcements on the west road was more clearly presented in front of him.

The western river beach is now full of Tibetan troops who are fighting in the east, but there is still a steady stream of Tibetan troops pouring in at the mouth of the valley where the river flows out of the valley in the extreme west.

"It's the end of it!" Zhang Ran looked at all this sadly, and before the army entered the valley, the outpost rode to find out that there were only three narrow river valleys out of this valley.

The north road is the road from which the Tang army came, and now it is blocked by the Tubo army, and the west road looks more serious, and it should be the main force of the Tubo army. Zhang Ran estimated that the Tubo army that entered the valley was no less than 40,000.

"Report to the deputy chief, the Tubo army in the north is probably more than 20,000."

"Deputy Commander, the Tubo army in the west should be the main force of its reinforcements, with at least 50,000 soldiers and horses." Zhang Ran anxiously reported the approximate value.

"Why are there so many Tibetan troops here? Who can tell me? Could it be that the Tibetans thought that our army would enter the valley and surrounded it earlier? Guo Beifeng anxiously yelled at his generals: "Isn't there only tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops in Tuyuhun?" Why did it suddenly appear to be more than 100,000 troops? ”

The generals lowered their heads and said nothing, and the eight thousand soldiers behind them were shocked when they learned the news of the siege, and their expressions were panicked, and many people thought in their hearts that how many of them could escape from this valley.

"The deputy governor may be the main force of the Tubo army in Anxi, and the last general observed that many of the Tubo troops who came to help were not Tubo people's clothing, but Tuyuhun people."

"So the Tubo people requisitioned the Tuyuhun tribes to fight?"

"I'm afraid so!" Zhang Ran said in a gloomy voice.

Guo Zhifeng and the other generals' hearts sank to the bottom, isn't the northwest of this valley the royal city of Tuyuhun Fuqi City, and the west side is Fuluochuan, where Tuyuhun City, the old capital of Tuyuhun City, is located? After decades of recuperation, the Tuyuhun tribes have a large population, and these two places are the main settlements of the Tuyuhun people, and it is not a problem to recruit 100,000 troops.

"Report, Yu Lin abandoned the camp and came."

Yu Lin panted and led 3,000 soldiers and horses to flee to Guo Zhifeng with only a small amount of baggage.

Seeing Yu Lin Guo waiting to be sealed and snorted coldly, he made up his mind to behead Yu Lin who fled without a fight after going back.

At present, it is a question whether or not the encirclement can be broken, and there is no time to dispose of Yu Lin, and the baggage brought by him can at least save a little and maintain the needs of the whole army for three days.

Guo Beifeng paced back and forth, thinking of a way out, more than 100,000 troops killed, there are only three ways out, this game can be described as a mortal game, the person who set up this bureau must be the Great Minister of Tubo Qinling!

It's hateful, Wu Guo is planted here, even if he can lead the army to escape, this battle is lost, and the river valley is narrow, how much can he escape?

"General, please give an order quickly, drag it on, our army can only be annihilated here." The generals surrounded him and anxiously pleaded for his life, the nearest of the two Tubo armies was only more than ten miles.

"There's only one way left!" Guo Zhifeng had already lost his previous brilliance and conceit, and said with a lonely look in his eyes: "The only way to do this is to desperately press the 20,000 Tubo in front of him, defeat them as quickly as possible, and rush out of the Nanlu River Valley behind his army, so that he can join Chief Xue Guan." ”

"General, please give the order, the last general is willing to be the vanguard." Zhang Ran happily asked for help.

"Okay, Zhang Ran, you lead three thousand elite cavalry to bypass the battlefield in front of you and assault the Tubo army formation from the right flank. Gongsun Jing, you lead 2,000 cavalry to attack from the left flank after Zhang Ran engages the Tubo army, and the rest of the general's troops and horses will defeat the Tubo army that is fighting fiercely with Li Xing from the front, and then break into the Tubo army formation. I hope that all the generals must fight hard to kill the enemy, so that our army may have a way to survive. ”

Guo waits for an order, and the generals act immediately.

Zhang Ran led three thousand elite horsemen with a serious expression, and slaughtered from the right flank into the Tubo army formation at the rear of the battlefield.

I thought that the reinforcements from both directions would take the opportunity to confuse the morale of the Tang army, and the victorious Gele saw thousands of Tang troops on the right flank coming straight to his own big array, but on the frontal battlefield, the Tang army was pressed into the battlefield by the whole army, and the pressure of the Tubo army in the battlefield increased greatly, and the outnumbered and defeated people retreated.

Seeing this, Grad was shocked, but he could only watch the advance retreat when he saw that the right flank was attacked by the cavalry of the Tang Army, but he could not divide his troops to support.

Geler only sent 5,000 cavalry to block the right flank of the Tang army, but the disaster was not a single line, when the cavalry sent out and the Tang army were in a battle, the front Tang army again killed thousands of cavalry and went straight to the left flank of their own array. Grad was annoyed, this was a plan to divide the troops of the Tang army, and there were only 2,000 cavalry available at the moment, and the remaining 5,000 were infantry. But now the forward will be defeated immediately, and the main force of the Tang army in front can directly assault the main formation, if all the cavalry is sent out, the front of 5,000 infantry is far more than their own Tang army?

(There is a clever mistake in the previous chapter, the Han people in the Song Dynasty and before claimed to be Chinese, and sometimes called Han Chinese, such as the Old Tang Dynasty Book Tang Gaozong's appointment of Goguryeo officials after the war is recorded as follows: The Goryeo Kingdom was divided into five parts, with one hundred and seventy-six cities and six hundred and ninety-seven thousand households; It divided its land into nine governors' mansions, forty-one prefectures, and one hundred counties, and placed the Anton Protectorate to unify them. Those who have meritorious service in the chieftain canal were awarded the governor, the history of the assassin and the county order, and the Chinese participated in the common people. It was to send Xue Rengui, the general of the Left Military Guard, to suppress it, and then quite scattered.

This can be found in the historical classics of China in various historical periods; The Han people are a northern nomadic people, because the national strength of the Han Dynasty at that time had a great impact on them, and they called the Chinese by the name of the Han Dynasty, and it has continued; This is the same reason that the Tang Dynasty had a huge influence on Japan and Southeast Asia, which had little influence during the Han Dynasty, and the locals called the Han people Tang people. For example, there is a Tang tomb on Ishigaki Island in Japan, but it was built in the late Qing Dynasty to bury Chinese laborers who fled to the island and were killed by Britain and the United States.

Of course, the ancient Han people also had a self-called Chinese, mainly used externally, and its meaning was completely different from that of modern Chinese, which was the proud name of the Han people at that time, which meant that the Han people were the people of the central country of the world. There are also self-proclaimed names such as Huang Han and Huang Song, which refer to the national names of the Han people at that time, which belonged to the purpose of elevating their own country externally, and the meaning is not the same as now.

It is said that the name of the ancient Chinese is the ethnic name of the Han people more than 600 years ago. )
