Chapter 180: Retreat
After resorting to two strategies to divide the Han people, Nasimo also made corresponding military arrangements for the current battlefield situation he was facing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoConsidering that the 30,000 Scorpion Army in Chang'an City is dominated by light cavalry, and the light cavalry can only play their advantages in the offensive battle in the wilderness, and it is by no means a wise move to use them to defend the city, Nasimo made a decisive decision to strictly select 5,000 people with super combat effectiveness among the light cavalry in the 30,000 Scorpion Army, and form a vanguard assault army, which was led by the Great Steward of Nafu who followed him to Chang'an, and was also the commander of Danba, who was also a general in the Scorpion Army, and took the initiative to kill Chang'an City, At any cost, we must take Fenning City from Jingyuncong and restore the communication channel between Chang'an and Western Xinjiang.
In addition, the vanguard assault force was accompanied by twenty infantry warriors personally selected by Nasimo himself, all of whom were from the highland hunters and skilled in climbing, fighting, bowing, and other skills. The order given to them by Nasimo was to try to return to Hezhou in the shortest possible time, and to send orders to the more than 30,000 Tibetan troops who were resting there to immediately move eastward to meet the part of the army that had attacked Chang'an first.
Finally, considering that the unusually hot weather in Chang'an this year would bring serious discomfort to the Tubo soldiers who were accustomed to the cool climate of the snowy plateau, Nasimo had made up his mind to lead the whole army as much as possible, withdraw from Chang'an safely, and return to Jingzhou to station, consolidate the achievements of this northward expedition, and wait for the next order of Lange in the city.
Once the 30,000 Tubo troops in Chang'an City acted according to the commander's decision, Chang'an City and outside once again fell into panic and chaos. When the people of Chang'an, who were lucky enough to survive the first round of killing after the Tibetan soldiers invaded Chang'an, did not breathe a sigh of relief, they immediately received an order from the new emperor supported by the Tubo people to ask them to go to the city to help defend it, so both men, women, and children, while cursing this puppet emperor in their hearts, they had to cheer up and go to the twelve city gates in the east, west, south and north of Chang'an to assist the Tubo army in defending the city.
After Lai Xing'er and the others met Tang Kuan in the Baoxiang Palace that day, they returned to the small dormitory courtyard of Guozijian, waited for Jing Zhao to meet with his father Jing Yuncong, and brought back Jing Yuncong's latest instructions to the people who stayed in the city. In the meantime, their only gain was that the next day, according to the plan proposed by Lai Xing'er, Xin Twelve Niang infiltrated the Daming Palace again, followed by Yu and led a group of Tubo soldiers to rush to the Baoxiang Palace, intending to arrest the so-called court spies and pounced on Tang Kuan, all the way back to the Naximo Chinese army tent set up in the Xuanzheng Palace, so as to find out the exact location of the head of the Tubo army.
In addition, taking advantage of the opportunity of the people of Chang'an being forcibly driven to various city gates to assist the Tubo army in defending the city, dozens of rooster and dog thieves under Bo Hu were also mixed in the ranks of the people, mixed into the defensive teams at each city gate, and especially the Anyuan Gate in the west of the city had the largest number of people, reaching more than a dozen.
Fortunately for them, the Tibetans did not show much interest in Guozijian, the highest institution of learning in the Middle Earth court. Only on the second day of entering the city, a small group of sergeants was sent to rush into the main house, and after searching back and forth in the various courtyards of the Guozijian, and after confirming that there were no officials of the imperial court hidden in them, they disappeared forever.
When the small group of Tubo soldiers broke into the Guozijian, Lai Xing'er, Jinping and others just sneaked into the Daming Palace, and the old sacrificial wine heard that the movement outside the workshop was wrong, and immediately took the old servant into the secret passage to hide, only the little white dragon and the "chasing wind" two horses were still tied to the tree behind the small house of Lai Xing'er and Jinping, and were almost discovered by the Tubo soldiers. Fortunately, this small courtyard where Xing'er lived belonged to the place where miscellaneous servants lived, and there were only a few simple dormitories in the courtyard, and there was no decent official hall, and the Tubo sergeants who came to search only hurriedly glanced at the courtyard outside the courtyard gate, and left without entering the courtyard, which made the two horses avoid the doom of falling into the hands of the Tubo army.
Kankan waited until the afternoon of the sixth day, and there was still no movement in the secret road leading to the outside of the city in the Guozi Prison, and Xin Twelve Niang finally couldn't hold it back.
She pulled Jiang Zhongshi and hurriedly went to the dormitory to find Xing'er to ask for battle. Lai Xing'er saw the two of them walking into his room one after the other, and immediately understood the intention of the two of them to come, and without waiting for Xin Twelve Niang to speak, he preemptively explained to her and said, "Don't be anxious, eldest lady. According to the news obtained by Bohu's brother who was planted in Anyuanmen, it is likely that the Tibetan army has learned of some unfavorable news for them, and is selecting men who can recruit and are accustomed to war, and want to go out of the city to engage the official army. In this way, it is very likely that Marshal Jing's troops have caused considerable trouble to the Tubo army in Chang'an City. As long as the eldest lady is willing to wait for another two or three days, I believe that there will be news of General Jing, and at that time, we will act according to Jing Yunshuai's orders, and I am afraid that there will be no chance for your eldest lady to show her talents? ā
He was quite polite to Xin Twelve Niang, but he was not so polite to Jiang Zhongshi, who was pulled by Xin Twelve Niang to ask him to fight together, and asked him in a deep voice: "What are you coaxing!" If you have nothing to do, you will go and bring some water to wash the body of the little white dragon and the 'chasing wind'. ā
Jiang Zhongshi, who has always been obedient to Lai Xing'er, was beaten today, and instead of smiling as before, he helped Xin Twelve Niang to speak.
"Big brother, you don't need to tell me about bathing the horse, my sister-in-law and I have already done it this morning. My sister-in-law also asked me to tell you that she couldn't rest assured that Niangniang's bones were still buried in the palace, for fear that if she was discovered by the Tubo people, she would be **** behind her mother, so she was going to enter the palace today to take a look, and at this moment I am afraid that she has already mixed into the palace. You are just thinking about the safety of your sister-in-law, and you have to let the two of us go to Daming Palace to find out. ā
As soon as he heard Jinping, he didn't even say hello, and he ran to Daming Palace without authorization, and Lai Xing'er couldn't stand in the room. In a hurry, he took two steps forward, grabbed Jiang Zhongshi, and shouted: "Why didn't you say it earlier? If there are three long and two short Jinping, you have to be careful. ā
Jiang Zhongshi replied aggrievedly: "My sister-in-law was afraid that she would be known, so I stopped her halfway and specially instructed me to talk to you in the afternoon." She also said, and said......"
"What else?" Lai Xing'er's eyes almost burst into flames.
She also said that if she didn't come back at night, she would also ask me to bring you a message, and don't go into the palace to look for her. But, big brother, can you bear to not take care of your sister-in-law? (To be continued.) )
