Chapter 380: The Strange Sword (3)
Chapter 380: The Strange Sword (3)
Luntai roars in September at night, and the gravel of a river is as big as a bucket, and it is full of stones with the wind.
If you don't get to this point, you don't understand the meaning of this poem!
The army climbed the Han Wai Mountain, in fact, the road is not small, after all, the road leading to Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty in Tubo is located, or when the real September comes, you can see the slopes of green grass, herds of cattle and sheep, as the Tubo language says, green mountains.
It was the winter moon, and even though it was the first day of the new year, it was extremely cold here, and there was a white expanse everywhere, which pierced people's eyes. From time to time, snowflakes would fall and the sky would be cloudy, as if the sun would never come out.
There was a commotion from the army behind, and Li Wei turned his head to see a soldier lying on his horse and falling.
He reined in his horse, walked over, lifted him up, pinched him hard, and shook his head sadly. The rest of the soldiers had no choice but to begin to bury him, the ninth soldier to fall. There are dozens of serious illnesses, and even Li Wei himself feels a headache and a swollen brain, as if a big stone is stuffed in his chest.
Exhaled and said slowly: "All ride on horseback, reduce bumps, and exercise, and try to talk as little as possible." ”
The order was given, and the stream continued.
But there is an advantage, in this line, half of the soldiers brought are Hu people, compared with the Han people from the Central Plains, they are more able to adapt to the cold weather here.
In the distance, the scout rode over in a hurry and said, "Your Highness, there are thousands of Tibetan cavalry rushing straight towards our army in front. ”
"How many?" Li Wei's face changed.
At this time, the enemy army was attacking, and the situation was not very good, many soldiers had altitude sickness, and the weather was cold, and their hands and feet were not good.
"About two or three thousand."
"Two or three thousand people," Li Wei's tone eased, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The mind immediately turned, it was impossible to let the enemy pounce, don't think that two or three thousand people, once they rushed into their own army, it would become like a wolf and a tiger, and it was possible to inflict an immediate heavy blow on their own army.
His eyes swept over, looked at Luo Wuquan, Zhang Qianxuan, and Xin Chenghe, and said, "General Luo, General Zhang, General Xin, how are the three of you physically strong." ”
"Very well, look at it," Zhang Qianqiao twisted his body easily on the back of the horse.
"We're fine too," Luo and Xin replied.
looked at himself, and then looked at many soldiers who were the same as himself, who were slow to move, and who didn't even have the strength to speak, and then looked at the three of them, Li Wei was speechless, and the beautiful mother was too weak to leave her body.
said: "You immediately select the strongest five hundred and sixty-seven soldiers to form the Modao Battalion. General Li, General Xifeng, the two of you will select another 2,000 men from the back to prepare for an immediate flank battle. ”
brought 800 Mo knife soldiers, which was a big killer weapon of the Tang army, but they kept dying in battle, and only 500 Mo knife soldiers remained.
"Whoa!" The five men were ordered to go down.
Zhang Qianqiao led the Mo sword soldiers, looked at the terrain, there was a big mountain in front of him, the mountain was tall Cui Wei, straight into the sky, covered with snow, the top of the mountain and the sky were in harmony. Next to it is a cliff, which is unfathomable to look at, and the scenery from the ground is just some black lines and black spots in this gloomy weather.
walked over, commanded each other, and formed three teams of Modao phalanx.
As soon as the arrangement was completed, I saw a large group of cavalry in the distance, galloping on horseback.
Zhang Qianmiao remained unmoved, his eyes staring at the front.
Li Wei said: "This person is another fierce general. ”
"Yes," Li Jinxing replied, waving his hand at the same time, and the two thousand soldiers behind him began to take off their leather robes. Otherwise, more soldiers will freeze to death when this line arrives here. How cold is it, soldier ***, the front is steaming to the ground, and the back is frozen into a lump. In just a few days, Li Wei had frostbite on his hands.
But when it comes to fighting, these thick robes, wrapped around the body, will make the body bulky.
When the Tubo people arrived in front of them, not to mention anything else, they could see their physical fitness and cold resistance, many people were only wearing a animal skin, and they were bare-chested, and the leading Tubo general Mangnanfu looked at the Tang army and was stunned for a moment, the reason why he led the soldiers of Wuhai to come was also repeatedly considered.
When we arrived in Wuhai, the sea was lowered and the climate became warmer. But escaping is not a way, so it is better to take the initiative to fight on Han Wai Mountain. The Han people are not cold-tolerant, and they will be miasma in the middle and high seas, although they have fewer troops, they have an advantage.
can see that the Tang army is waiting for him, but he is still surprised. But at this time, he couldn't retreat, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
Two thousand Tibetan soldiers pounced.
"Kill!" Zhang Qianxuan, Xin Chengsi and Luo Wu drank neatly.
The bright Mo knife was raised, Zhang Qianqiao looked at the Tubo people, who had arrived in front of him, and said, "Cut." ”
Mo knife slashed down, some Tubo people were split in half in life, Xin Chengsi and Luo Wu swung down with a knife, and even with it, the war horses of the Tubo people were split. But the Tibetans continued to rush forward, some soldiers were knocked under the cliff, and some soldiers were trampled under the hooves of horses.
Zhang Qianqiao shouted again: "Cut." ”
The second knife fell again, and dozens of people were hacked to death by the Tubo people, but there were also soldiers whose heads were cut off by the straight swords of the Tubo people. This encounter is purely a collision of knives and knives, and there is no skill at all. In this area, the temperature may be more than ten degrees below zero, or even more than twenty degrees below zero, and the bow and arrow are useless. As Cen Shen wrote, the general's horn bow is not controllable, not because his hands are too cold to control, but because the bow and arrow have lost their toughness in this extremely low temperature, and even the horn bow may break as soon as it is pulled.
Broke through the first line of defense formed by Xin Chengsi and Luo Wuquan, and came to the second line of defense of Zhang Qianxuan, after several rounds of slashing, the speed of the Tubo people finally slowed down. Zhang Qian shouted: "Cut! ”
He stepped forward and slashed his horse in half, spurting blood and splattering his armor. Hundreds of Mo knife hands fell at any time.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were so fierce that Mangnanfu finally had the intention of retreating.
"Cut again!"
Mangnanfu glanced at it, it was only a short fight, although he killed many Tang soldiers, but he sacrificed more people, just a while, about five or six hundred of his men were hacked to death by the Tang army. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Withdraw!" ”
I've worked hard, and it's easy to explain in front of the big talk. Otherwise, if you kill it again, there are still thousands of Tang Dynasty troops behind you who have not moved, and two thousand Tang troops are riding on horses, staring at each other. Let's take the chance.
Li Jinxing shouted in the back: "Kill! ”
Li Wei personally blew the horn, and even if he blew it, it was very difficult.
"Flash!" Zhang Qianmiao, Xin Chenghei, and Luo Wuquan immediately shouted. The remaining 300 Tang troops flashed to the side, and Li Jinxing rushed over on horseback. The Tibetan people realized that it was not good, although the mountain road was large at this time, it was crowded with people, and Guan Jian was blocked by mountains on one side, and there were cliffs on the other, and it was impossible to move around. Turning the horse's head one by one, it's too late. Li Jinxing came up and killed a Tibetan soldier with a single sword, and 2,000 Tang troops immediately came up.
Some of the Tibetan soldiers were extremely fierce and still resisted stubbornly, while some saw that the situation was not good, and turned their horses behind and fled south.
"Withdraw! Remove! Remove! Mangnanfu shouted again and again. As soon as he turned his horse, he ran back, and he still thought in his heart that it was the name given by the muddy Tugu Hun people, saying that when the Han people arrived here, they only cried? , even more fierce than our Tibetan soldiers.
As soon as the main general fled, finally all the Tibetan soldiers lost the courage to fight, and fled one by one.
"Kill!" Li Jinxing shouted. Lead people to chase and kill.
In fact, according to common sense, in this kind of pursuit war, it is necessary to send people to take a look at the situation, and whether the enemy is really defeated or falsely defeated, cannot be pursued at will. If you don't chase well, you can be ambushed. But at this time, Li Jinxing didn't look at it, even if there were, so what, there were ambushes in front and chasing soldiers in the back, in that case, it would be a dead end.
This pursuit, the whole chased out of the Han Wai Mountain, the Tubo soldiers who fled back were less than 300 people, and they continued to run south in panic, and the Tubo general Mangnanfu was also chased by the fine sealing thunder and killed with a knife.
The corpses of the soldiers were buried, and they slowly walked out of Han Wai Mountain, not far from Wuhai. I can smell the breath of Wuhai Lake, but Li Wei is still a little dazed in his heart, the first battle of Dafeichuan, on the way to overcome the two Tubo people's checkpoints, the first battle of Han Wai Mountain, at this time there are only 7,400 soldiers left around, half of them are gone.
In fact, he should be lucky, and Qin Ling underestimated his courage, otherwise he would have sent 5,000 soldiers to Wuhai in advance, and the situation would have been even worse at this time.
When I arrived in Wuhai, the environment here was slightly better, and I ordered to set up camp and rest for the night, Li Wei said: "Luo Wuquan, Xin Chenghei, Zhang Qianxuan, and Xi Fenglei, you each bring a thousand people to clean up everyone around." In addition, all the yaks, horses, and furs were brought together, especially the medicinal herbs, and if there were any medicinal herbs, they should also be kept. ”
"Whoa!" The four of them replied, they all understood the meaning of cleaning, but they didn't quite understand what Li Wei meant by needing a large number of slow-moving yaks. And fur, there is already enough fur to carry, why fur?
But to get to this day, it was all the planning of His Royal Highness the Prince, and one by one he didn't dare to question it and took the order.
Li Jinxing asked, "Your Highness, are you planning to follow the path of the party?" ”
There is a road in Wuhai that leads to the place where the Dangxiang people live, that is, the north bank of the Yellow River, south of Jishi Mountain, but it has to cross several snowy mountains. The snow does not melt in the summer of these snowy mountains, and this is the winter moon. Therefore, when Mo He talked to Non Qinling, he automatically ignored this path.
"yes." As he spoke, Li Wei turned his head to look at the Jishi Mountain in the northeast, the mountains were tall and majestic, and each mountain was covered with snow, and said in a low voice: "Although the Tubo people are not afraid of the cold, this road is not conducive to the army walking at this time. It is a good time for me to throw off the pursuing soldiers of the Qinling, otherwise it will be far and difficult to go to the end, and by the time we reach the end, they will have already closed the gate leisurely. ”
"But if you take the party road, it is unlikely to go north, at this time it will be all guarded by the Tubo army to guard the main roads, although the river is only in front of us, we are few people, and it is difficult to walk out of this road, the soldiers are tired, or can not rush through. If you go to Jishi Mountain, you will inevitably send an army to stop in front of you. ”
"Yes, but on Qinling's negotiability this time, where is there no net of heaven and earth?"
Li Jinxing couldn't speak, and asked after a while, "Then what does Your Highness mean by this?" ”
"Constantly mobilizing and dispersing the enemy's forces, the more places we go, the more difficult it is to use troops in Qinling. He only has an army of more than 300,000 in his hands, not more than 3 million. Moreover, this kind of bad weather, just logistics supply, this pursuit may greatly damage the national strength of Tuyuhun and Tubo. ”
"So where does Your Highness plan to break through?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know?"
"Well," Li Wei finally laughed proudly, and said, "If Gu has a definite plan, he will definitely move closer to this plan, and it can be seen from Qinling's ability." But I don't know where to break through in my heart, can I still guess about Qinling? ”
