Chapter 47: Dafeichuan 1
"How is that possible?" Qin Ling was shocked, snatched the letter from the sentry rider's hand and opened it, and immediately his head was congested, and a wave of anger rushed up from his abdomen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lausanne mistook me!" After learning that the Tang army was heading south, Qinling carefully subordinates mobilized the troops left in various parts of Tuyuhun to block the Tang army, and bought time for himself to lead the elite to return from the Western Regions, and then meet the Tang army with absolute superiority.
However, the world is unpredictable, Xue Rengui was so bold that he traveled lightly and quickly and lone into the mountain road for more than 800 miles, and unexpectedly appeared at the mouth of the rear river in Tubo, defeating the unprepared Luosang army that had just been assembled in one fell swoop, and taking advantage of the situation to occupy Wuhai City, the main road for Tuyuhun in the north of Tubo, and cut off the road for reinforcements from Tubo to the north.
Qin Ling's fingers pinched tightly, crumpled all the paper letters, threw them on the ground, and rode away.
"Quickly spread the message to the future camp discussion!"
After receiving the order of the prime minister, the Tibetan general rushed to the camp, and on the way to the war, he was surprised to learn the news that Wuhai had been lost and the defenders had suffered heavy losses.
When the generals entered the camp, they saw the Great Prime Minister Qinling sitting on the upper seat, frowning tightly, his face was ugly, and he was cautious, for fear that he would not touch the angry Great Prime Minister at all, and he would suffer an unwarranted disaster.
"Presumably, you know that Wuhai has been lost, our army has suffered heavy losses, and the Tang army has done its best. How our army should retreat from the enemy at the moment, and if you have any good suggestions, please tell me. Qin Ling's suppressed and dull voice echoed in the big tent, causing a group of generals who were worried and did not dare to say anything to think about it bitterly.
The generals in the tent thought hard about the current situation, Wuhai was occupied by the Tang army, blocking the reinforcements from Tubo itself, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were still fighting in Anxi and the 100,000 troops we returned to help were cut off from returning. When the news spreads, it is very bad for the morale of the military.
And the 100,000 troops who are now returning to the aid are in a hurry to return from the Western Regions, and they are tired all the way to belong to the tired division, but the Tang army occupies Wuhai, and the situation is unfavorable for our army.
As the third brother of Qinling, Siduo led the army to be stationed in Tuyuhun for a long time after Tuyuhun was destroyed, and he was under his command in the previous battles of the Tang army, and achieved many small results, and was extremely familiar with the terrain of Tuyuhun and Tang Longyou.
"Does the third brother have any good suggestions?"
The second brother asked about himself, but Sita couldn't hide his clumsiness, and said: "Second brother, at present, our army has rushed thousands of miles to return for reinforcements in more than ten days, and the sergeants are tired, and the Tang army is fighting our army with the occupation of Wuhai. At present, our army should not be in a hurry to engage the Tang army, rush to Tuyuhun City as soon as possible to repair, gather the troops and horses still in Tuyuhun and wait for the changes in the situation before making a decision. Brother Gu Chen knew that Tang wanted to help Tuyuhun Khan Nuo Hao Bowl return to his hometown, but the Tuyuhun tribes did not support Nuo Hao Bowl to return to the country, and their hearts were to Tubo, so the prime minister might as well go all out to recruit and transfer Tuyuhun troops to participate in the war, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses could be obtained in vain. ”
"General Sita is right, most of my Tubo army is now fighting in the Western Regions, and it is difficult to transfer back for a while, so I will use the power of Tuyuhun to destroy the Tang army, according to the Tang people, this is called killing two birds with one stone, hahaha!" Jiebu, the general under Qinling, laughed heartily, bringing a touch of relief to the originally depressed tent like a warm breeze.
Qin Ling's frowning brows relaxed, and listening to what the third brother said was like an empowerment, his mind was clear. For a while, because of the surprise of the Tang army, our army's small setback in time disrupted its thinking, and now I think that the hope of our army's victory is still very great, so there is no need to worry too much.
The Fuqi City where the Tuyuhun King City is located and the Fuluo River where the Tuyuhun City is located are both places with abundant water and grass, and the various departments of Tuyuhun are mainly concentrated in these two areas for grazing, with a large number of soldiers, and there is no shortage of food and grass for the soldiers. And Xue Rengui can only hold out for a few months even if he gets our army's food and grass, and it is difficult for the Tang State to reinforce it.
Xue Rengui, no matter how powerful you are, if I don't think about the snow mountain attack according to your expectations, how can you endure me?
There are nearly 300 miles of mountain roads from Wuhai to Tuyuhun City, and Xue Rengui can't take the initiative to attack, so he will become our army if he waits for work, hahaha!
Qin Ling, who thought about all this, was in a relaxed mood, and smiled at the suggestions and suggestions of the generals in the account.
"Report!" The herald ran into the big tent and reported: "General Grad sent someone to report that in the west of Dafeichuan, he found that nearly 20,000 Tang troops were coming towards Fuluochuan. ”
"Is there still two ways for the Tang Army to fail?" Jeb and the other generals were stunned for a moment, and whispered to each other.
"Hahaha!" Qinling laughed out loud when he took the case, Sita, Jeb and others were very puzzled when they saw that the prime minister was suddenly so happy, the Tang army came to us in two directions, the military situation was urgent, why was the prime minister happy?
Qin Ling couldn't hide the excited look on his face, glanced at the generals in the tent and said: "With the arrival of the fighter plane, the time has come for our army's defeat to win." ”
The generals looked at each other with some doubt in their eyes.
"The Tang army sent only 50,000 troops in this battle, and Xue Rengui led about 30,000 troops to attack Wuhai, and it is impossible to appear west of Dafeichuan at the moment. Another sentinel cavalry came to report that Xue Rengui had already distributed troops in Dafeiling, and the baggage was left in Dafeilingtun, and 20,000 soldiers were fortified to defend it at risk. The Tang army found by Gele in the west of Dafei Sichuan was carrying a large amount of baggage, and it must be the Tang army left behind on the Dafei Ridge, and they may have gone to join Xue Rengui. ”
This guess is not accurate, if he goes to join Xue Rengui, it will be unreasonable to run to the west of Dafei Sichuan. However, there is no need to think about it, because Xue Rengui is more than 300 miles away from here on a steep mountain road, and most of our troops are gathered here, so this battle can be won without a fight.
"This Tang army is only 20,000 at most, and the march with baggage must be slow, so can't we encircle and annihilate it in the north of Fuluo River?" Sita broke through the second brother's plan with one word, and the generals' eyes lit up, and they all looked at the Great Prime Minister Qinling, with undisguised war intent in their eyes.
The morale was available, and Qin Ling was overjoyed: "The generals listened to the order, and the whole army immediately advanced to Fuluochuan, and ordered Gele to lead the army to block the road of the Tang army to the south, and the nearby Tuyuhun troops immediately reinforced to Gele." ”
Guo Beifeng led less than 20,000 soldiers and horses to the west of Dafei Sichuan, located between Fuluo River and Heka Mountain, the Tubo army was advancing, and he did not know that his whereabouts had already been discovered by Tubo. At present, the Tubo army on the western, northern, and southern routes is encircling it, and the total number of Tuyuhun troops who have been requisitioned has reached 200,000.
"Deputy Commander, my army is not marching fast with baggage, I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve unexpected results." Zhang Ran said worriedly.
Although Guo Beifeng only brought the baggage required by the 20,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters, the rations of the army for more than a month added up to a lot, and most of the soldiers and horses were baggage soldiers, and the marching speed was only a little faster than carrying all the baggage. However, after crossing the Dafei River and entering Heka Mountain, the rugged mountain road was extremely difficult, and the army marched even more slowly.
Guo Beifeng didn't seem to hear it, and his expression was focused on the southwest direction—it was Fuluo River.
There were more than 20,000 Tubo troops stationed from Fuluochuan, and if he was annihilated, he would be able to attack the empty Fuluochuan to the west and help Tuyuhun Khan Nuo Haobo return to his hometown.
If this battle is won, even if Xue Rengui wins a big battle in Wuhai, he will only have to intercept the reinforcements from Tubo to the north, and the protagonist of this battle is my Guo Beifeng.
