Chapter 696: Trumpet

Yang Zaixing didn't explain much, he trapped the sword on his body and threw the thick cloak aside, "Now it's time to go down the mountain, brothers, it's Namco to go down the mountain, 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 this is not yet a war. Nearly a third of the men and horses were lost. It can be seen how terrible this Tanggula Mountain is. At the foot of the snowy peaks is a coniferous forest. I was happy to see that there was a coniferous forest around me, and I felt a lot more relaxed. 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 previously instructed the scouts to keep an eye out for the vicinity of the snow-capped mountains. But how many people can 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 arrow would be used as the signal. It's a pity that on the Great Snow Peak, there are no hairs left that have long been destroyed by the arrows. Now the only one who can transmit the signal is the Kong Ming lantern. 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 who guarded Namtso, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army who suddenly arrived were like a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, they were suddenly defeated, and the more than 4,000 people stationed on the top of the mountain on the west side were driven down the mountain without being able to organize a decent counterattack. 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 on 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. At this time, the Namtso Valley under the dark night is undergoing a hellish baptism of fire. In winter, the trees are dry, Yang Zaixing set 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 by 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. With the silver spear on the ground and the sword pinned 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 decided how many brothers in the national army died in this Namco, and today is the time for revenge, Yang someone sues you." This battle can only move forward. Do not retreat. Occupy Namco, we wait to win, we can't fight, only die, because we have no way out! ”

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 strange person, born a good general, and his body flashes with a unique charm that 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, looking at Xiao Yue next to him. "General, borrow your troops and horses!"

Yang Zaixing's words were a bit arrogant. is also a bit 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 position. 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 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 will not be long. General Xiao and General Yang will lead their troops to our aid. ”

After listening to these words. Zheng Biao's eyes widened, and he scolded and said, "Gallop 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." It is also good to prepare for the next attack on the city gates. 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 will be able to defeat the Namco Pass. In the end, there will be heavy casualties. 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.

On the broad city wall, the Tibetans scattered, all the bows and arrows poured down, and the soldiers and horses led by Mu Ali were not too many, and they were suppressed by the Tibetans after only attacking twice. Just when Mu Ali was at a loss, Yang Zaixing led most of the men and horses to arrive in time, which can be regarded as saving Mu Ali's life, otherwise once he retreated, the Tubo people would have to pounce on him like mad dogs. Mu Ali knew very well in his heart that he really let the Tubo people pounce on him, and his more than 1,000 people would definitely not be able to bear it. Yang Zaixing rushed to the city wall of Namco Pass, looked at the situation at the head of the city, and couldn't help frowning, although the city wall is not high, but there is no siege equipment at the moment, Yang Zaixing doesn't want to attack the city wall anymore, just on the top of the mountain in the east, the loss is not small, and no matter how hard it is, the result is not much better. After pondering for a while, Yang Zaixing really came up with an idea.

The construction style of the Namco city wall is very special, according to the normal situation, the city wall should not only have two stepped aisles on the left and right, only a few more staircase aisles can be conducive to the flow of troops, but Namco is different, there are only two aisles on the left and right. Yang Zaixing's idea was very simple, he just wanted to block these two aisles, didn't those Tubo people guard the city wall and not come down? Hmph, then block the way down, so that they can't get down if they want to, an order, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army turned their heads and ran towards the top of the eastern mountain, the Dingguo Army ran this time, but the Tubo people guarding the city were confused, after so many years of fighting, I have never seen such a play like the Dingguo Army, a group of Tubo soldiers shouted, speaking some Tibetan language that they did not understand, Mu Ali could understand, it turned out that this group of Tubo people were provoking.

These Han people have the ability to attack the city, but before they could fight, they were so frightened by the Tubo warriors that they turned around and ran. Anyway, that's what the Tubo people shouted, Mu Ali almost didn't laugh, this group of Tubo barbarians should be arrogant, and they have to teach them a good lesson after a while. In about a quarter of an hour, thousands of troops returned to the city wall, but this time many people carried stones in their hands, and some people held dry firewood in their hands.

The answer was soon available, only to see the soldiers of the Dingguo Army under the command of Yang Zaixing throw those stones in the aisles on both sides, and in the blink of an eye, with the rumbling sound, the aisles on both sides of the entire city wall were filled with stones. At this moment, the Tubo people are stupid and understand the meaning of the Dingguo Army, which is trying to trap the Tubo warriors to death in the city. Since Yang Zaixing has done this, it is impossible to only have this trick, now in the middle of winter, the weather is dry, and more importantly, the Tubo people on the city wall also prepared fire oil, rolling wood, these are flammable things, and then the Dingguo army unceremoniously threw the wood and branches that were moved, although the Tubo centurions ordered the soldiers to block the enemy with bows and arrows, but the bows and arrows could block people, but they could not block those wooden things. The wood hula flew up, and the Tubo soldiers screamed, as for the things behind, it was simple, Yang Zaixing directly let people set fire rockets and ignited the entire city wall. At first, the Tibetan people were not too panicked, but gradually they were a little chaotic, because the fire together, it could not be extinguished, many Tibetan soldiers threw their longbows, and threw those burning things down the city, they did so, there was no effect at all, but there were many people because they took the initiative to get together, and they were directly ignited, fortunately, after wearing it in winter, they couldn't burn the meat for a while, but even this was uncomfortable enough.

"Sinister and cunning Han people, hateful and hateful" Centurion Yorkma jumped to his feet and scolded, but before he could scold twice, a feathered arrow unceremoniously took his life.

The Tubo people hurriedly jumped to their feet and scolded, they thought that the Han people would take the opportunity to attack the city wall. But what happened next made them a little overwhelmed, only to see that the Han people suddenly divided into two routes, a small number of people stayed to confront the Tibetan warriors, and most of the soldiers and horses went directly to the south. It is said that the national army is like this, and the Tubo soldiers on the city wall should breathe a sigh of relief, but the fact is the opposite, the Tubo people not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became nervous, especially Zu Ruo, the commander of the thousand, Zu Ruo is now angry and hateful, he has made many arrangements to guard the city wall, but those Han people are good, and they flash when they are steaming, and they say that they will not fight. The Dingguo Army is heading south, what other possibilities are there besides fighting the Chinese army of Nayan Ace? Now Zu Ruo suddenly understood a little why the Dingguo army had such a strange arrangement, they were going to use a small number of soldiers and horses to drag the Tubo warriors on the city wall, and the rest of the army could go south to attack Lord Ace's middle army. The Tibetan people knew the importance of Nayan Ace from top to bottom, and if Nayan Ace and his Chinese army were finished, the city wall would not be able to hold it. So, Zu Ruo issued an order that he regretted for the rest of his life, "All the troops listened to the order, half of the soldiers and horses stayed to garrison the city wall, and the rest followed the general to the city to exterminate the Han people." ”

If Zu Ruo had time to think about it carefully, he would definitely not be so reckless, but unfortunately he didn't have that time to think about it at all. Looking at the reaction of the Tubo people on the city wall, Xiao Yue smiled, Yang Zaixing's trick was really amazing. If it is attacked hard, the Tubo people rely on the defense system prepared for a long time, and it is really possible to drag the Dingguo army into the city to death, and Yang Zaixing is very smart to decide not to attack, as long as the Tubo people are nested on the city wall, Yang Zaixing has nothing to do. Therefore, the best way to exterminate the Tibetan barbarians as much as possible and more efficiently is to hook these people out and fight them. And Yang Zaixing's method is not clever, that is, to take advantage of the psychological weakness of the Tubo people, if you attack, the Tubo people will defend to the death, if you block the way down, put on a posture of not attacking, then the Tubo people will be cranky, you let the Tubo people roll down the city wall, the more they will not roll down, but if you want to block the Tubo people on the city wall, they will feel uneasy, will try their best to rush down the city wall.

Yang Zaixing's method played a significant role, after Zu Ruo ordered to go down, he led more than 2,000 people to attack down the stairs on the east and west sides, and they not only had to face the hidden weapons of the Dingguo Army on the way, but also had to move away little by little when they were blocked on the road, it can be said that there was a bloody footprint one step forward. Waiting for Zu Ruo to get off the city wall, Mu Ali just clashed and immediately retreated, which verified Zu Ruo's conjecture even more, and without hesitation, he led people towards the Chinese army.

Zu Ruo was bent on saving Nayan Ace, but he was ambushed by Yang Zaixing and Xiao Yue on the way, and more than 2,000 people were scattered, and even Zu Ruo himself was cut off by Xiao Yue. The next thing is simple, without Zu Ruo's command, coupled with the sharp decrease in numbers, the Tubo people were greatly demoralized, and they were rushed to the city wall by Mu Ali in one go. When the soldiers of the Dingguo Army stood on the city wall, it meant that the Tubo people lost the capital to turn over, and these Tubo people were also frightened by the Dingguo Army and fled in a hurry. Occupying the thick walls, Mu Ali asked the soldiers to hold the reckless boom and slowly open the city gates.

Under the Namco Pass, Zhao Yougong has been waiting for an hour, when the city gate is opened, there is no need to order, more than 10,000 troops flocked in, so far it also indicates that the Namco camp that the Tubo people have been operating for many years has been lost. (To be continued......)
