Chapter 695 Wind Snow Mountain City

As for why Zong Zan would oppose Zhuoma Yizan, in fact, it is easy to explain, Lao Zampu's death is unknown, Zhuoma Yizan suddenly ascended to the throne, how can Zong Zan have the same heart with him? Although Zongzan is a dull person, he is also a little bit of a tendon in doing things, since he is not a good person for Dolma Yizan, then he will definitely not cooperate with Zhuoma Yizan in this life.

The words were divided into two ends, Zhao Yougong was busy getting in touch with Zong Zan, and on the other side, Yang Zaixing had already led people to climb the northern ridge of Tanggula Mountain. Tanggula Mountain in the middle of winter, the wind is fierce, mixed with the cold and dry cold, three days, Yang Zaixing and his party finally came to Sangdan Kangsang Snow Mountain, but at this time Yang Zaixing not only has to face the problem of shortage of personnel, but also faces the big problem of lack of food and grass. When I came, I thought it would only take two days to reach Sandan Kangsang Snow Mountain, so for the convenience of the march, I only brought three days of rations, but now the three-day rations are almost exhausted, and what is even worse is that the soldiers under him are more or less infected with the wind cold, and two soldiers have died on the way to the mountain because they can't stand this altitude sickness. Sangdan Kangsang Snow Mountain is in front of him, but looking at the situation of Sangdan Kangsang Snow Mountain, Yang Zaixing has a skeptical attitude towards whether he can cross this snow peak. On top of the snow peak, the snow has already formed thick ice crystals, and the smooth ice surface is extremely smooth, coupled with the steep stone walls, I really don't know how to climb up.

Now there are only two choices in front of Yang Zaixing, either give up and withdraw from Tanggula Mountain, or go all the way, whether it is life or death, you have to climb the Sangdan Kangsang Snow Mountain, but no matter which choice, it is extremely difficult. Back off. I'm running out of food. And how to hold on to the descent of the mountain. How can you ensure that you can go up alive when you go up the mountain?

Mu Ali and Zheng Biao all got together, the three of them huddled behind a boulder, hiding from the violent wind and snow, Mu Ali and Zheng Biao are different, he is an authentic Khitan disciple, when did he experience this situation, the most violent snowstorm on the grassland compared to this Sandan Kangsang Snow Mountain. I don't know how much mercy has eased. Rubbing his hands and snorting hotly, Yang Zaixing looked coldly at Xuefeng not far away, "Two generals, you all know the current situation, now that the army has run out of food, it is unknown whether you can insist on returning." Therefore, Yang doesn't want to hide it from you, whether it is forward or backward, it is a life of death. Now how to choose, the two generals have an idea. ”

When speaking. Yang Zaixing's hand quietly rested on the hilt of the sword, and Mu Ali and Zheng Biao were both engrossed in thinking about what Yang Zaixing had just said, and where did they notice this. Now there are only three of them in the army, although Yang Zaixing is asking these two, but in fact, he already has an idea in his heart. His Royal Highness sent him here, but he didn't send Liu Jian and Wu Jue, which is clearly a kind of trust, so even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, he must step over, if anyone dares to say retreat, he Yang doesn't mind being a butcher. Mu Ali and Zheng Biao didn't know that Yang Zaixing had already moved to kill in their hearts, if they showed the slightest displeasure at this time, Yang Zaixing would definitely make a move, and he couldn't let these two people affect the morale that was already left.

After a while, Yang Zaixing finally breathed a sigh of relief, because Zheng Biao and Mu Ali all chose to move forward, especially Mu Ali, he patted his blue face, and said with a wry smile, "General Yang, it's all this time, what are you talking about retreating, they are all big men, they have to go forward even if they die, in short, the last general will not retreat, if they go back so hastily, even Concubine Xiao and General Xiao will not let go of the last general." ”

Mu Ali will not retreat, Zheng Biao will not retreat, Zheng Biao was born as a mountain bandit, and there is an innate ruthlessness flowing in his blood, "General Yang, next someone Zheng will come to the front, from now on, if anyone dares to retreat, Lao Tzu will personally chop him." In Namco Valley, Zheng left the bodies of his brothers and couldn't take care of them, and Lao Tzu didn't want to be so cowardly anymore. ”

After that, Zheng Biao got up abruptly and left the boulder, and came to the vicinity of the soldiers of the mountain battalion, Zheng Biao shouted something excitedly, and those soldiers rushed to the big snow peak not far away with him. Zheng Biao had already taken practical action, and the others refused to lag behind, so in this way, a decadent army slowly walked towards Sangdan Kangsang Snow Mountain. Before coming to the snow peak, Zheng Biao changed into shoes hanging on his back, this kind of shoes are specially owned by the soldiers of the mountain battalion, and the appearance of the shoes is no different from ordinary military boots, the difference is in the feet. The sole is a special iron plate, and many iron thorns are exposed on the iron plate, and the style is somewhat similar to the shoe studs of later generations. Changing into shoes, Zheng Biao held a dagger in his right hand, and at the same time tied the dagger and his hand firmly together with a cloth. The climb was a difficult process, requiring a hole in the ice, fixed with a dagger, and moving on, and many of the soldiers' hands were frozen unconscious, and blood flowed down the cracked openings, but they didn't feel it at all. Maybe if you didn't tie the dagger to your hand with a cloth, you would have fallen down a long time ago. Even so, casualties were inevitable, some of the mountain battalion soldiers lost their strength and slipped off the ice, and many did not die immediately, but their pain was worse than death. At this moment, Yang Zaixing's heart was cold and hard, and he asked the soldiers to step forward to make up for it, filling in the wounded soldiers to solve the pain. No one will say anything more, are there still fewer people who are dying tragically these days? There was a soldier who fell into the ice hole, and his entire crotch was pierced by an ice pick, watching his blood flow out little by little, how to save him? On that occasion, it was General Mu Ali who cut the man's throat with his own hands, and everyone knows that the soldier left with a smile when he died.

Sometimes death is not suffering, but relief from suffering, and sometimes it is more difficult to kill than to save people. When Yang Zaixing was in the Dayangtan military camp before, General Han Shizhong once said that as a general, you should think more about the living, and some orders others dare not and cannot give them, and as the main general, you must have this responsibility.

For half a day, almost every inch of the northern part of the entire Sandan Kangsang Snow Mountain left the blood of the soldiers of the Dingguo Army, but this sacrifice was worth it, before the sun set, Zheng Biao led people to climb the snow peak and set up ropes. This snow peak, a miracle of a thousand years, when standing on the snow peak, you can understand the vastness of heaven and earth. Yang Zaixing didn't dare to stay longer, because the time was too short. You have to find a way to get down the mountain. But there is a way, it is easy to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down. Standing on the top of the peak, snow-capped and cloud-shrouded, but the most basic direction can still be judged, you must go east, to the east to enter the Namco area. Step by step, step by step, when you come to the eastern area of Sandan Kangsang. Yang Zaixing just wanted to vomit a mouthful of blood, because there was no way to find it, the bare snow peak cliffs were almost straight, and there was only that little slope How to stand and live?

Turning his head to look at the sun in the west, he was drowsy, and he had to go down the mountain today, otherwise by night, it was estimated that the Dingguo army had been defeated by the subsequent blizzard before starving to death.

Yang Zaixing didn't explain much, he trapped the saber on his body. The thick cloak was tossed aside, "Now it's time to go down." Brothers, when we go down the mountain, it will be Namco, and then we can cooperate with His Highness to take the Tanggula Pass. You ask how to get down the mountain, right? Hehe, in fact, this question is easy to answer, are you afraid of death? Those who are not afraid of death will follow this future! ”

With that, Yang Zaixing jumped and slid down the smooth ice, sliding farther and farther until he couldn't see anything. Many soldiers were stunned, and General Yang jumped down like this? What if there's danger down there, and what if there's a rock ahead? With Yang Zaixing as an example, Mu Ali and others followed suit, so a group of people rolled down, and pieces of rolling gourds appeared on the ice.

"Ahh Sandan Kangsang Snow Mountain is not a complete mountain, there are mountain streams in many places, but they are blocked by ice, this is a large number of people rolling down from the mountain, Tokyo is not small, under the earthquake, some ice breaks, and those soldiers become unlucky ghosts. If you fall into an ice hole, you can't save it.

Yang Zaixing is really crazy, what he did today is really a bit of a gamble, if there is a cliff or an ice valley under the snow peak, then none of the people who go down will survive. However, Yang Zaixing's life is big, and when Yoyo wakes up, in addition to a few scratches all over his body, there is just some pain in some places. He staggered to his feet and roared into the sky, and then many people came together.

After counting the number of people, there are still more than 3,000 people left, and before the battle, nearly a third of the men and horses have been lost, which shows how terrible this Tanggula Mountain is. At the foot of the snow peak is a coniferous forest, and when I am happy, I look at the surrounding coniferous forest, and my mood is a lot looser. On the one hand, let people treat wounds, and on the other hand, let Mu Ali go to the forest to hunt prey, if the food can be improved in front of the station, it is also very good.

On November 28, the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Namco Gorge was quiet, and Nayan Ace was also trying to deal with it, but he never imagined that the Dingguo Army had really appeared on the high mountain west of the Namco Canyon. Nayan Ace had instructed the scouts to keep an eye on the vicinity of the snow-capped mountains before, but how many people could listen? After inspecting several times and finding no abnormalities, the Tibetan soldiers relaxed their vigilance in the direction of the snow-capped mountains. Moreover, even if they sent people again at this time, it would be useless, the Dingguo Army would not hide in place and wait for someone to investigate, they had already found a hidden col to hide.

Yang Zaixing asked people to make some things, and these things were Kong Ming lanterns used to send signals. It was originally agreed that when attacking Namco, the red arrows were used as the signal, but unfortunately on the Daxue Peak, there were no hairs left that had already been destroyed, and now only Kong Ming lanterns were left that could transmit signals. In the middle of the night of November 29, the whole Tanggula Mountain was cold, and at this cold time, several lonely lamps were rising. The Tibetan people did not know what the Kong Ming lantern was, so many people still thought that the flying light was very beautiful, and some people even knelt on the ground and prayed with words. The Tibetans are very superstitious, which is similar to the Mongols, and the flying lamp must be a gift from the gods.

There was movement in the camp, and he also woke up the sleeping Nayan Ace, he looked up with his clothes on, and visually measured the direction of the magic lamp, and his face suddenly changed, "Quickly send an order to all departments, strengthen vigilance, the Han people are going to attack!" ”

How much does Nayana's words have to offer? It was almost useless, because by the time he gave the order, there was already a faint shout of killing in the western part of the canyon, accompanied by a flame. Yang Zaixing had spent a day recuperating his strength, and now he suddenly attacked, so he would not give the Tubo people time to react. Xiao Yue had been waiting for a long time to guard Panlong Slope, and when the signal came, he sent people to inform Yushu City while organizing all the horses to pounce on Namco. For these Tubo people guarding Namtso, those soldiers of the Dingguo Army who suddenly arrived were like a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, and they were suddenly defeated. More than 4,000 people were stationed on the top of the mountain on the west side. There was no way to organize a decent counterattack. And they were driven down the mountain. To occupy the top of the mountain, the first thing Yang Zaixing did was to build a rope down the mountain, and at the same time, send people to guard the southern entrance of the western mountain peak and cover Xiao Yue's soldiers and horses to go uphill.

For Zhao Yougong, he was so happy to learn that Yang Zaixing and others were still alive. As long as Yang Zaixing appears in Namco, then this Tanggula Pass should also be taken down.

Tanggula Pass. Amdo City is in front of you, is the little prince of Zongzan really going to stand in a high position? I have to say, sometimes it's really stupid people who have stupid blessings, Luo some cities, and the Dingguo army is coming!

Guarding Yushu City for so many days, Zhao Yougong has been patient, but once the opportunity comes, he will not hesitate at all, and with an order, the 30,000 troops of the Gong Guards near Yushu all rushed to the Namco Valley. And at this time, the Namtso Valley in the dark night. It's going through a hellish baptism of fire. In winter, the trees are dry. Yang Zaixing set off a fire, this fire will guard the west of the mountain top of the Tubo people to burn wow wow scream, now in the middle of winter, is blowing the north wind, the fire borrowed the wind, towards the bottom of the mountain. Nayan Ace originally arranged a heavy defense at the foot of the mountain in the west, but this seemingly solid defense line was crumbled by the fire, and Yang Zaixing and Xiao Yue also led people to directly break through the defense of the Tubo people. In Yang Zaixing's view, breaking through the first line of defense, there will be no big problem next, in terms of head-to-head confrontation, who has the Dingguo Army feared?

Along the road of fire swept by the wind, the Dingguo army swept down, and the way out of the mountain tops on both sides was located in the Namco Pass, so as long as you go down the mountain, even the city wall of the pass is saved, and it is enough to directly face the Tubo people, who is more heroic, who is the new master of this Namco Pass. At this moment, Yang Zaixing and others are extremely excited in their hearts, whether they can take Namco is related to whether they can enter the hinterland of the Tubo Plateau southward next, so this battle can only be won and not defeated. Putting the silver spear on the ground and pinning the sword to his waist, Yang Zaixing raised his hand and took off his helmet, then held the silver spear and glared angrily, "Brothers, a few days ago, I determined how many brothers in the national army died in this Namco, today is the time for revenge, Yang told you that this battle can only move forward, not retreat, occupy Namco, we will win, we can't fight, we can only die, because we have no way to retreat!" ”

Yang Zaixing's voice echoed in everyone's ears, even Xiao Yue was infected by Yang Zaixing's bravery, no wonder His Royal Highness cultivated Yang Zaixing so much, this Yang is really a generation of strange people, born a good general, his body flashes with a unique charm, which can easily infect everyone. Gradually, those soldiers of the Dingguo Army had red eyes, held sabers, shouted loudly, and their morale reached its peak. Yang Zaixing held a gun in his right hand and a sword in his left, and looked at Xiao Yue next to him with his eyes, "General, borrow your troops and horses!" ”

Yang Zaixing's words were a little arrogant and a little out of line, because according to the rules, the first battle of Namco should be handed over to Xiao Yue, and Yang Zaixing is not as good as Xiao Yue in terms of military rank. However, Xiao Yue didn't care, nodded, and shouted, "Although General Yang gave the order, today my brothers and I will all listen to General Yang's dispatch!" ”

Xiao Yue's words were tantamount to establishing Yang Zaixing's status, Yang Zaixing was not polite, his left wrist flipped, he pulled out his sword, and pointed towards the mountain, "Zheng Biao listened to the order, gathered all the wooden cards and planks that could be used in front of him, and cut down some trees in the back, Yang Someone gave you a quarter of an hour, be sure to give Ben will defeat the Tubo barbarians in the west, and create conditions for the army to go deep into the hinterland of Namco Pass." ”

"Whoa!"

Zheng Biao led the people to hurry away, and then it was Mu Ali's turn, Mu Ali's task was not easy, he had to lead his troops to attack the city gate of Namco Pass, and welcome the army from outside to come in. After the order was issued, Yang Zaixing and Xiao Yue also led people to the top of the mountain in the east, Yang Zaixing had the courage of ten thousand people, he was the first to kill at the forefront, the Tubo soldiers did not have a general, after a fight, Yang Zaixing was already a bloody man, like a killing god. Many Tibetans have developed fear, they don't want to fight this Han anymore, this person is a demon.

In the Namco military camp, Nayan Ace walked around hesitantly, even if he made the fastest response, but various places were still in a hurry, especially the western camp, that Zheng Biao led people to attack the defense line of the West Camp, these Han people were like taking some kind of medicine, one by one, the dragon was fierce, and it was only a matter of time before the defense line of the West Camp was broken. The western camp is not guaranteed, and the Han people will definitely join forces to attack the pass city wall. Huh, when the soldiers are really used, they hate less, if some cities can send some reinforcements before, as long as there are enough soldiers and horses, hold the city wall, the Han people in the city wall are also defeated, but now, the city wall is not lost, the problem is that the Tubo warriors who defend the camp can no longer withstand the attack of the Han people, and they can't fight head-to-head, so how to exterminate it. No, the West Battalion can be lost, but the city wall must not be lost, if you concentrate your forces and take advantage of the fact that the West Camp has not completely fallen to fight the Han people, you may be able to win. This is also the only way that Nayan Ace can think of that is not a way, frowned, and shouted outside, "Pass the order, all the soldiers and horses stationed on the top of the eastern mountain are withdrawn, rush to the West Camp, and swallow the Han people in the West Camp for me." ”

Nayan Ace's order is good, but it is a little late, at this time the eastern mountain top has already been a river of blood, the fire is soaring, Yang Zaixing and Xiao Yue all the way to the past, only to kill the Tubo soldiers to lose their armor, to the arrival of the order, the Tubo army has been more than half of the casualties. After the Tubo people retreated, they all rushed to the western camp, and the purpose of Nayan Ace was obvious, that is, to take advantage of the Han people on the top of the eastern mountain before they arrived, and swallow Zheng Biao's men and horses in one bite, so that not only could kill and injure the Han people, but also dragged most of the Han people, as long as the city wall was not lost, there was still hope. In a short period of time, Nayan Ace concentrated 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Zheng Biao's 2,000 soldiers and horses, and gradually, Zheng Biao also felt pressure, "Damn, the Tubo people are crazy, and they are specifically targeting Lao Tzu." ”

Zheng Biao is rough, but his mind is very slippery, he also learned from Niu Gao, General Niu is famous for fighting with many ghost ideas, and he has learned a little bit from General Niu all day long. Spitting, Zheng Biao shouted at several generals around him, "Disperse, don't entangle with the barbarians, set fire to Lao Tzu's camp tent, and run to the west mountain after burning, run as fast as you can, wait until you get up the mountain, you can do it yourself." ”

"Huh? General Zheng, is that good? General Yang's order told us to break through the western camp and move closer to the city wall, so let's retreat? Several generals and colonels were all puzzled, General Zheng's order was obviously contrary to General Yang's order, and one of them even smiled bitterly, "General Zheng, let's hold on for a while, it is estimated that it won't be long before General Xiao and General Yang will lead troops to help us." ”

After hearing these words, Zheng Biao's eyes widened, and he scolded and said, "Rush to help, so many Tubo people suddenly appeared, it is obvious that the Tubo barbarians have also transferred the soldiers and horses in the east, if Yang is smart, he should take this opportunity to move closer to the city wall, and cooperate with Mu Ali to take down the city wall, so as to prepare for the next attack on the city gate." If he leads the troops to come to our aid, then he will really be the Tubo people. ”

Zheng Biao really did one thing right this time, that is, he didn't nail it to the West Camp with a dead brain, because at this time, Yang Zaixing didn't have the intention of coming to save General Zheng at all. In Yang Zaixing's mind, even if the people in the Western Camp died, as long as they could hold back a large number of Tubo soldiers and contribute to others attacking the city wall and occupying the city. The most important thing now is to lay down the city gates, otherwise the people in the city alone, even if they can break down the Namco Pass, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties in the end. So Yang Zaixing wouldn't do that kind of stupid thing, with Yang Zaixing's joining, the pressure on Mu Ali's side suddenly decreased a lot. Garrisoned at the wall of the pass was Buck, the most trusted lieutenant under Nayan Ace. The city wall of Namco Pass is not as good as other Xiongguan, and it should be built to maintain the unique style of Tibetan architecture, that is, the city wall is very short, but the aisle of the city wall is very wide, which gives the Tubo people the opportunity to spread out. (To be continued......)
