Chapter 516: Defeat of Da Fei Chuan
As a result, before he reached the foot of Wuhai City, he received an urgent report from Guo Shifeng, who was stationed in Dafeiling, and the main force of the enemy appeared in Dafeichuan, and they were under fierce attack by the enemy.
Hou Junji was shocked when he heard this, and Dafeichuan was not trivial; This is the node where they connect with Liu Lan. If Dafeichuan is lost, they will be a lone brigade, completely besieged by the enemy, and their lives will not be guaranteed.
Hou Junji could no longer care about attacking Wuhai, and hurriedly led the army back to rescue Dafeichuan. But by the time they returned to Dafeichuan, Chiduoji Zunjiebo had already broken through Guo Shifeng's camp and was stationed here.
Hou Junji did not continue, and he no longer had the strength to attack Dafeiling; had to take a detour and flee to the back to join Liu Lan's baggage troops.
At this point, Chi Duoji Zunjie had mobilized 100,000 troops to attack, and the Tang army could not resist the enemy. Hou Junji had no choice but to return to Xituyuhun with his army; The Tibetan land seized in the early stage was also taken back.
Hou Junji returned to the camp and looked up to the sky and sighed: "This year is the year of Gengwu, Lou Xing is on duty, and he should not go to the west to fight, Deng Ai of Wei died in Shu because of this." I knew that I was bound to fail, but I went against the sky, and I was rewarded. After speaking, the book was like Li Shimin pleading guilty.
Chi Duoji Zunjie refused to give up, and led an army of 100,000 to continue the attack, and entered the territory of Xituguhun.
Just when Chi Duoji Zunjie wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize Xituyuhun and completely drive the Tang army out of the range of Tubo, a messenger who suddenly abandoned the sect and praised arrived, saying that the Tang army had broken through many obstacles and entered Tubo.
At this time, the Tibetan army was suppressing the slave uprisings in various places, and let Chi Duoji Zunjie lead the army to return to defend the city of Luo.
Chi Duoji Zunjie was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly left 10,000 troops to defend Da Fei Ling, while he himself hurriedly ran back with the army. It turned out that Cheng Zhijie and Niu Tong finally broke through the obstacles and came to the territory of Tubo.
Niu set off from Songzhou in Jiannan to take Tubo, along the way they had to pass through the arrow furnace, Daowu, Shanyan, Ganzi, Dege, Shiqu, Jiangda, Kemu and other 10 Xiongguan.
The archery furnace is on the Happy Horse Mountain, which is the gateway to Tibet, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. The Tibetans were heavily guarded here. After Niu Tong arrived, he only brought a small number of people and immediately stepped forward to fight against the enemy.
Guarding the archery furnace was Lu Dongzan's younger brother Gar. Qin Lingtong is also a famous general in Tibet, and he was entrusted with the important task of guarding the archery furnace by the abandoned sect.
When Niu Jinda's army arrived at the city, he asked Qin Huaiyu to lead 3,000 people to challenge, but he led the army to ambush behind.
Qin Huaiyu asked with some suspicion: "Uncle Niu, this Gar. Qin Lingtong is also a famous general in Tubo, we have such a simple plan, he can't see it? Can he be fooled? ”
Niu Jinda smiled: "Virtuous nephew, you don't know anything. This gar. Although Qin Lingtong is a famous general, he is arrogant. Moreover, the Gar family is the largest nobleman in Tibet, and its strength is not inferior to the Zampu family. Therefore, they attach great importance to the glory of the family.
When you get there, like this, like this, you will surely be able to bring Gar. Qin Lingtong was brought out. ”
When Qin Huaiyu heard this, he said with a black box line: "Uncle Niu, isn't this a little too vicious." ”
Wang Xuance said with a smile: "There is no good hand in fighting, and there is no good mouth for scolding." Brother Qin, if you don't want to, give me this first credit! Seeing that Qin Huaiyu really nodded, Wang Xuance cheered excitedly and slapped his horse to fight.
He came to the city of the Arrow Furnace and shouted at the city. Qin Lingtong came out to fight. Gar. Qin Lingtong received the information and brought his men and horses to the city to watch.
Seeing that the Don army was only 3,000 people, Gar. Qin Lingtong laughed loudly and said: "The Tang army is luring me into battle, there must be a large army hidden behind them, can such a clumsy strategy deceive me?" ”
In Gar. Under the instruction of Qin Lingtong, the Tibetan army and the Tang army began to scold each other. Wang Xuance smiled, and let his subordinates start loudly publicizing Lu Dongzan's troubles in Chang'an; In particular, he gave a detailed description of his overnight stay in the pigsty, and finally said that the sow gave birth to a litter of pig-headed monsters to prove it.
Gar. Qin Ling was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he felt that the Tubo people looked at him strangely. He couldn't stand it any longer, and shouted and ordered people to go out of the city to face the battle.
His lieutenant Nie Puduo hurriedly reminded: "General, should you be careful of the enemy's tricks? "At this time Gar. Qin Lingtong couldn't care about the ambush anymore, he ordered Nie Puduo to stay behind with half of the men and horses, and he led an army of 10,000 to go into battle to bloodied these rumor-mongers.
Gar. Qin Ling came out unified, and the Tang army really stopped shouting and scolding, but they did not flee, but picked up bows and arrows one by one and began to attack.
The range of the bow and arrow of the Tang Dynasty is much farther than that of the Tibetan bow and arrow. Qin Lingtong saw that his men were shot and fell to the ground, and his anger was even greater; Command people to charge desperately to give the enemy a powerful look.
Seeing that the Tubo people were getting closer and closer, and they were about to start picking up their bows and arrows, Wang Xuance laughed, turned around and ran away with the people. While running, he shot reflexively, killing countless Tibetans.
Gar. Qin Lingtong's anger was even stronger, and he urged the army to attack even more desperately, and it didn't take long to enter the Happy Horse Mountain.
The mountain road of Happy Horse Mountain is crisscrossed, but it is very narrow, only enough for a war horse to pass, and it is surrounded by steep slopes. The hillside hills are overgrown with dwarf weeds and trees; and bare rocks. The soil is soft, and mudslides are frequent.
Gar. Qin Lingtong chased Wang Xuance into Happy Horse Mountain, and suddenly there was a roar, and the mountain fell like rain, completely isolating them from the Tang army; Then bows and arrows rained down, and the Tibetans were killed and wounded.
Gar. Qin Lingtong calmed down at this time, and hurriedly ran back with Xiang; However, because of the narrow mountain road, as soon as they turned their horses' heads, half of the Tibetan army that entered the mountain fell.
Gar. Qin Lingtong and his troops finally got out of Happy Horse Mountain, but as soon as they came out of the mountain pass, they saw that the Tang army with a large brigade in front had already set up a defensive formation and was waiting for it.
Gar. Qin Lingtong sighed and said, "Today's defeat is all because of me. It is my intention to die with the enemy. Wait until you break out of the siege and tell General Nepdo to let him defend the city to the death, and Hugh will fall for the enemy's tricks. ”
When the generals heard this, they cried loudly: "Don't grieve, the general, we are willing to keep the general out of the encirclement." After speaking, the army shouted and launched a decisive charge against the Tang army.
Niu Tong just watched from afar, the command flag in his hand swayed, commanded the army to defend well, and returned fire with bows and arrows.
These Tubo soldiers also really risked their lives, and rushed to the front of the Tang army in the face of the dense arrows of the Tang army, and killed the Tang army.
Although the Tang army was elite and had an advantage in numbers, they were still killed out of a bloody way. Qin Lingtong led more than a hundred people to escape from here.
Niu Tong smiled slightly, and led the army to chase after him. I can already see it in the Arrow Furnace City, Gar. Qin Lingtong secretly swore that he would never be fooled again when he went back this time, and he would never give the enemy another chance. But at this moment, he found that there was dust in front of him, and a large army was coming.
Gar. Qin Lingtong was just about to order his men to prepare for battle, but it turned out that it was Nie Puduo, the guard of the Arrow Furnace.
"Nepdo! Why don't you stay in the city, what are you doing here? ”
Nie Puduo was stunned and said, "Didn't the general say that he had firmly trapped the enemy and ordered me to come to reinforce him?" ”
Gar. Qin Lingtong's head buzzed and he knew it was not good, and he shouted: "Nonsense, which one gave you the order?" Come back to the city with me! ”
Gar. Qin Lingtong and Nie Puduo hurriedly ran back, but when they arrived at the city, the archery furnace had been closed and the drawbridge was hanging high. Nie Puduo led the team to call the door, and the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Tang Dynasty in the city was unfurled, and the war drums shook the sky.
A young yellow-faced young man laughed and said, "Gar. Qin Lingtong, you have fallen for our general's plan, and this arrow furnace has already belonged to me Qin Huaiyu! Shoot the arrows! ”
With Qin Huaiyu's order, arrows rained down at the head of the city, knocking down the unprepared and frightened Tubo people.
Gar. Qin Lingtong looked up to the sky and sighed: "This battle is my sin!" What else to see Zampu? As he spoke, he drew his sword and slashed himself.
The Tubo army behind saw that the city was occupied by the enemy, and the Tang army surrounded it from behind, and they were cornered; They all laid down their arms and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of Nie Puduo.
Niu Jinda accepted their surrender, ordered people to garrison the archery furnace, and then led the army straight to the second pass. Daowu means horse in the Tibetan language; Legend has it that this city was created by a miraculous foal, with its cold terrain, rugged mountain roads and closed traffic.
When Niu Jinda's army came here, it was blocked by this majestic pass. The commander of the Daowu is named Labukoga, who is cautious in nature, and it is impossible to lure him into sending troops with the same tactics as before.
Niu Jinda ordered the army to attack the city, and the Tang army attacked several times with siege equipment and was killed by Labgoga.
In this way, the Tang army was blocked under Daowu City, and it was difficult to advance for several days. The Tibetan army in the city was also accustomed to the attack of the Tang army, and slowly the defense was a little lax.
In the middle of the night on this day, the southeast wind rose, and many bonfires were suddenly lit in the camp of the Tang army. Then a dark behemoth rose into the sky with piles of bonfires and the Tang Army.
"Divine skill! It's a miracle! Nie Puduo and other Tibetan soldiers fell to their knees and exclaimed.
These behemoths followed the southeast wind and suddenly came to the top of Daowu City. Then the bonfire gradually went out, and ropes hung down from it.
the young generals and special elites led by Shang Shan and Wooden; All have been specially trained in airborne. They grabbed the rope and quickly slid down from it, and entered Daowu City.
