The mountainside and the top of the mountain were high, and the shouts of killing could be heard far away, and the rocket rain shot by the ambush soldiers was as dazzling as a meteor shower but endless, followed by a large number of screams and shouts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The rear becomes the front, the front becomes the rear, retreat, retreat, don't panic! The front retreats, the rear gives me a hold! The female leader of the Sheti tribe, Tundo, shouted with a machete and organized her troops to resist the attack of the government soldiers.

These barbarian soldiers are herdsmen, not much training, retreat without order, everyone scrambles, lest they be behind and be shot by the ambush soldiers, so they have fled backwards, and want to organize a part of the troops to block the ambush to chase and kill, but failed to do so, the barbarian soldiers who lack training and have no military discipline are like lost dogs at this time, chaotically galloping down the mountain, along the way people and horses are constantly pushed and pushed and rolled down the mountain stream, the screams are endless, it is really miserable.

After receiving the order, the heavily trained Tang infantry immediately retreated to both sides of the mountain path and shouted to the fleeing barbarians: "Don't mess around, run down one by one, don't panic!" ”

Although there were Tang army generals and soldiers shouting, but now these barbarians have been frightened, as long as they escape to the bottom of the mountain, who cares about the life and death of others, so they turn a deaf ear to the greetings of the Tang army generals and soldiers, so that more people are pushed down and do not know whether they are alive or dead.

The Tang generals at the front knew that they were afraid that the casualties would be more heavy if they continued like this, so they ordered the Tang soldiers to swing their swords and slash and kill, and the Tang soldiers mentioned that they rushed up to slash and kill the barbarians who did not listen to the call, until they killed one hundred and ten people, and the barbarians became honest because they were afraid, and began to quickly descend the mountain one by one according to the requirements of the Tang army.

It wasn't until the last barbarian soldier of the Sheti Department passed by that the Tang Army generals in charge of the broken period breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not yet the end at all, and the ambush soldiers of the Stepping Strength Department quickly chased and killed, and these barbarians of the Stepping Strength Department held torches in one hand and held bright weapons in the other hand and shouted loudly, all with hideous faces and very vicious.

"Bow and arrow preparation-" Captain Tang waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly rushed to the side of the mountain path to stand in the middle of the path and took off the bow behind their backs, holding the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other, and then opening the bow and arrows to aim at the pursuing soldiers.

After all, recruits are recruits, and despite their rigorous training, when they really face the enemy, face and face life and death, most of them are still timid, their limbs tremble, their faces are pale, their breathing is difficult, and their minds are blank.

Captain Tang turned out to be Zhao Ziliang's subordinate, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had rich combat experience, of course he knew that this was the time when the soldiers' wills were the weakest, and at this time he needed to stabilize his position as the leading captain, and there must be no deserters, otherwise it would be out of control and the situation would be difficult to control.

"Don't panic, everyone, be calm! Stabilization! Listen to my orders, inhale - exhale, inhale - exhale ・・・・・・ good, there is nothing to fear from attacking our barbarians, you must know that this is a mountainside, not a flat grassland, and the barbarians without horses are not bullshit, in terms of foot warfare, our Tang army is the first in the world! The enemy is near, it doesn't matter, the mountain trail can only pass one person at a time, they can't get close to us! All the people are ready to shoot from the back - release the arrows - "

After some organization and encouragement, the tension and fear of the recruits of the Tang Army eased a lot, and after hearing the order, they sent their fingers one after another, and arrows flew out, and a round of arrows rained out densely with "swishing ・・・・・・."

Immediately afterwards, there was a scream of "ahhh・・・・・・hh

"Prepare--release the arrows-"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・・"

"Prepare--release the arrows-"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・・"

Several successive shots made the barbarians who were pursuing the force of the army suffer heavy casualties, and the barbarian generals who led the troops knew that they were only afraid that it was the elite of the Tang army that was blocking them, otherwise under their ambush and pursuit, it would be impossible for the soldiers and horses of other tribes to have this kind of determination to fight without chaos, and saw that their side suffered heavy losses under the bow and arrow blows of the Tang army, and knew that they could not pursue and kill any longer, so they ordered to retreat.

Finally watching the barbarians retreat and no longer chase and kill, Captain Tang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Go down the mountain in order, and those who crowd and push will not be forgiven!" ”

After the first battle, the recruits of the Tang Army survived this first battle and also passed the most dangerous period, and with the experience of this first battle, they will no longer panic when facing the enemy in the future. After hearing the order, the Don soldiers turned around and descended the mountain in turn, while the Tang lieutenant remained last.

The routs of the Setsheti division were stopped by the Tang army at the bottom of the mountain, and the female leader Tun Duo angrily slashed and killed several routs in a row to vent her anger before stopping.

After settling the defeated troops of the Sheti Division and the infantry of the Tang Army, Zhao Ziliang convened the Tunduo and the Transfer Khan overnight, and all his officials, generals, and colonels were summoned to participate together.

After all the personnel arrived, Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone, and finally put his eyes on Tunduo's body, and asked, "Leader Tunduo, how are the casualties of your department?" Is the statistics out? ”

Tun Duo's face was bloody, her helmet had fallen off, her hair was messily draped over her shoulders, she looked very embarrassed, she gasped and stood up and said, "General, the specific number has not been counted yet, but it should be about six hundred people lost!" ”

Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and said angrily: "Someone must have accidentally leaked the news in advance, otherwise how could someone who stepped on the strength department ambush our army in Duotanling?" Our army has a total of only 13,000 men, and each of them is very expensive, and we lost 600 in one ambush, which is really hateful! ”

These words successfully provoked Tun Duo's hatred for Lu Li and the strength of the force, she stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang with a fierce look: "General, if you can capture Lu Li, please let me scrape him with my own hands to avenge the dead sons of our department!" ”

Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Okay, General Ben has always advocated revenge and kindness, and forgetting hatred and shame is betraying himself!" General Ben promised you that if you could capture Lu Li, I would let you shave him! ”

Tun Duo immediately saluted: "Thank you, General!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and said: "I don't know what happened to the people and horses of Hu Luju and Mouluo, we are in the south of the mountain, they are in the north of the mountain, now it is late at night, and there are people and horses on the mountain, the news transmission is inconvenient, I want to get their news, I am afraid that I will have to wait until tomorrow, and now I will send a large army on the mountain and worry that there will be an enemy ambush on the mountain, for the sake of happiness and safety, this general means to wait until tomorrow to send people up the mountain to investigate the situation, if the enemy has pushed back, we will quickly send people to seize the top of the mountain, Then send people to Shanbei to find the Hu Lu Jubu and the Mouluo Ministry, I don't know what you think? ”

The Mouluo Department and the Hulu Ju Department have nothing to do with Tunduo and the Transfer Khan, the life and death of these two soldiers and horses have nothing to do with them, and the Tunduo and the Shift Khan don't want to, the two immediately agreed: "What the general said is very true, it is late at night, the mountains are dense, I am afraid that there are a large number of ambushes, if we send people to the mountain again, I am afraid that we will be poisoned again, maybe the Hu Luju Department and the Mouluo Department have reached the safety of the foot of the north of the mountain, we are not sure of the truth rashly send troops up the mountain!" ”

Zhao Ziliang then clapped his hand and said: "Okay, since the two leaders are not interesting, then handle it accordingly, tonight's vigilance task is in charge of Tang Jun, and the two of you can rest assured!" In addition, Leader Tunduo, after you return to the camp, you must appease your subordinates and stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible! ”

"Understood!" The two of them said yes and got up to say goodbye and left.

After the two left, Cen Shen said: "In the evening today, the general could have ordered the whole army to camp at the foot of the mountain and wait for tomorrow to climb the mountain. ”

Cen Shen has been counted as his own person since he analyzed his situation for Zhao Ziliang a few days ago, and he didn't plan to hide it from Juliet, so he said: "Don't hide it, sir, I do have this plan!" A few days ago, after listening to Mr.'s words, Ziliang suddenly opened, and now there are people in the court who have been staring at me, I can't help but protect myself first, so the stepping force can't be destroyed for the time being, I still need it to continue to create border conflicts here, and I also need these tribes to contain it and let them friction continue, but the size and extent of friction can't be out of my control, so the court can't just transfer me away! ”

Cen Shen was very happy, he said: "It's really gratifying that the general can figure this out, each of us does not lack loyalty to Datang, but sometimes we can't be foolish and loyal, we must pay attention to ways and methods, otherwise not only will we not be able to display our ambitions in life, but we may also 'die before leaving the school'!" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and arched his hand and said: "Listening to Mr. is better than reading for ten years!" In the future, if Ziliang has something inappropriate, please ask Mr. to speak up and admonish! ”

Cen Shen returned the salute again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "As far as I know, the strength of the Ministry is composed of a number of small tribes, there are many small leaders under the Luli Khan, this general believes that the strength of the Ministry can not be monolithic, although our army was ambushed tonight and the loss is not small, but the overall strength is not comparable to the strength of the department, this point of the strength of the people will not know, the general wants to send someone to contact the small leaders under Lu Li, to tell them that our goal this time is only Lu Li, not the entire force of the force, as long as they hand over Lu Li, We can take no blame for their previous raid on Xilin and retreat immediately! If they don't agree, we'll wipe out the entire Stepping Force! The key to the success of this matter lies in the person who went to negotiate with them secretly, Mr. Cen, I want to ask you to take charge of this matter, I don't know ・・・・・・・ Mr.

To contact the leaders of several small tribes in the Ministry of Strength, and persuade these small leaders to join forces to arrest Lu Li and hand it over to the Tang Army, the danger of this task is quite high, and there is a danger of losing your head at any time if you don't get it right, but this task is not something that anyone can do, you must have a certain degree of eloquence, impatience and adaptability, in the entire Tang Army, you can be trusted by Zhao Ziliang, and the person who has this talent is now only Cen Shen!

Cen Shen was also well aware of the danger of this mission, but as a scholar, he could be valued and trusted by Zhao Ziliang, and he felt that a scholar would die as a confidant, so he immediately stood up and saluted without hesitation: "I will live up to the general's expectations!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was immediately overjoyed and said loudly: "Come on, prepare a banquet, I will practice it for Mr.!" (To be continued.) )
