Chapter 631: Ambush

(Catch up with a chapter, because I went to the countryside today, and if I can rush back in the evening, I'll code a chapter.) Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info If it's too late, then sorry. )

The sun is setting, and the sky and the earth are in the twilight. Although it is the time of June when the flowers are blooming, in this desolate place of the plateau, it looks particularly solemn and desolate in the dim daylight.

The 20,000 Tibetan cavalry persevered for three days, vowing to strangle the remnants of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this was the strict order of the cavalry governor Wangmu, and several generals who led the army knew that Wangmu was defeated by the soldiers and horses of the Datang North Road in Shibao City, and Zhu Dan Zampu almost cut off his head because of this. Wangmu swore a curse to ask Zampu to give him a chance to take revenge, and Zampu gave him this opportunity, so he won the victory of Namco Lake.

In fact, these 5,000 remnants of the Tang Dynasty are not enough to cause trouble, and there is no need to spend so many soldiers and horses chasing after them. But this can be said to be Wangmu's personal vendetta, he wants to kill the Tang cavalry that almost killed him. Of course, for the several generals who led the pursuit of the army, when they learned that among the 5,000 soldiers and horses, there were the Hexi Jiedu envoys and Longyou Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty, so the hard pursuit had practical significance. If these two Jiedu envoys were caught or their heads were chopped off, it would be a great achievement for everyone, and it would not be in vain that Xiaoxing had chased for so long and so far at night.

In the desolate wilderness outside the canyon, 20,000 Tibetan soldiers and horses arrived at the entrance of the canyon that stood in front of them like two mountain gates. They were 100% sure that the remnants of the Tang Dynasty had fled to this valley. Because they chased along the way, the discarded armor and blades on the way, the corpses of fallen soldiers and war horses led them to this place. There is only this one entrance in the remnants of this snow-capped mountain within a radius of dozens of miles, and the remnants of the Tang Dynasty have nowhere else to go except to enter the valley.

The 20,000 Tibetan cavalry stopped in front of the valley, and when they looked ahead, the valley was dark and deep and they couldn't see anything clearly. Under the cover of night, the entrance to the valley resembles a man-eating tiger with its mouth wide open as if it were about to choose a man to devour. This made several generals who led the army somewhat frightened. This terrain is very dangerous for anyone who leads the army to fight.

"General Danba, the terrain of this valley is dangerous, let's not take this risk. In other words, in order to chase these thousands of remnants, if we fall into their trap, then we won't be able to draw it. One of the generals craned his neck and looked in the direction of the valley, and said to one of the leading generals sitting on a barley horse.

"The terrain is indeed dangerous enough, and the terrain is suitable for ambushes. I'm also worried that we won't chase the rabbit and get kicked by the rabbit, that's a joke. General Danba stroked his beard and groaned.

Another sturdy Tubo general laughed and said, "I said, what's wrong with you? We've been chasing so far, do you mean not to chase it? With just those thousands of remnants of the Tang Dynasty, can they ambush us? I'm afraid they won't even be able to walk. Don't look at the armor and blades discarded along the way, these Tang soldiers and horses can't even bear the weight of weapons and armor, you are actually worried that they are ambushing us. Hahaha, if you say it, you will really be laughed to death. ”

General Danba's face was gloomy, and he couldn't hold it anymore. Another Tibetan general on the side played a round for him and said: "General Langga, you will be mistaken, General Danba is worried about being ambushed by other Tang soldiers and horses." ”

"Yes, yes, this place is already separated from the city of Pibo. I heard that 50,000 or 60,000 people of the Southern Army of the Tang Dynasty outside the city have come to the city. These thousands of remnants of the Tang Dynasty are just going to flee to the Jiannan Army, what if the Jiannan Army sets up an ambush here? I'm worried about this. General Danba said busily.

"Hahaha, that's even more ridiculous." General Langa trembled with laughter, his fat body shook on the horse's back, and the war horse under his crotch was so overwhelmed that he almost fell crooked.

"The 100,000 troops of Pibo City are stationed, and General Gu doesn't go to trouble the Tang Army, but the Tang Army dares to take the initiative to find trouble? The 50,000 people of the Jiannan Army broke into the city of Pibo without explanation, and at this moment they were too busy to protect themselves, and they were probably trying to evacuate secretly. It's a pity that under the nose of General Gu, I don't dare to move. Are you worried that they'll come here to get us in trouble? I just laughed at it. General Langa burst into laughter.

Although his words were harsh and ugly, several Tubo generals also nodded secretly, and indeed as he said, now the Jiannan Army is too busy to take care of itself.

"Besides, the city of Pibo is a mountain away. But do you know how long it will take to get here from Phibo? Do you think you have wings to fly over these mountains? The march from the valley took at least a day and a night. This group of remnants of the Tang Dynasty has been fleeing for their lives under our pursuit, how can they have the time to send a letter to the Jiannan Army? In terms of taking 10,000 steps back, what about sending a letter to Jiannanjun? Does the Jiannan Army dare to transfer troops? As soon as they move their foreheads, General Gu will give them a good look. General Langa said loudly.

All the generals nodded one after another, although General Langa was an unlikable master, this analysis was reasonable. The fear was only the possibility of an ambush, not a confirmation that there was an ambush in the valley. And it is impossible to give up at this moment because of the dangerous terrain of a valley after chasing so far.

"All mounted and entered the valley. The remnants of the Tang army are already running out of strength, and they must be caught up and killed tonight no matter what. If they were allowed to run to the camp of the Jiannan Army, wouldn't they let General Gu pick up the bargain. Our generals in Beichuan are not willing to let them take advantage of Shenchuan Capital. Danba ordered in a loud voice.

Langga's mouth was still unforgiving, and he laughed and said: "General Danba, the ancient general is also our Beichuan general." I remember that when he was stationed in Stone Castle City, General Danba did not run in and out of the ancient general's tent to bring tea and water. How? Now it's two families? ”

General Danba's face turned purple and his brows furrowed. He didn't want to argue with this guy, but this guy was annoying. expose your own shortcomings in public and dismantle your own platform. Find a chance to get rid of this guy to solve the hatred in your heart.

The Tibetan soldiers and horses remounted their horses, thinking about marching into the valley in the twilight. Soon I arrived into the valley, the valley is not small, but it looks small on the outside, but it is very spacious inside. The width between the two slopes was two or three hundred paces wide. A hundred cavalry in parallel was not too crowded. Entering the valley and looking at it from the outside of the valley are two different feelings, and the strange thing is that the door-like cliffs at the mouth of the two valleys are too steep, giving people an illusion.

20,000 people stretched out for miles into the valley. The light was dim, and the Tibetan cavalry lit torches to illuminate it. But from time to time there were fallen horses on the side of the valley. Reaching out and touching the horse, the body is still warm. Several of the horses were not dying. Rolling his eyes, he looked pitifully at the Tibetan soldiers and horses.

"They didn't go far. Chase after it. Based on the state of dead horses and half-dead war horses, Danba came to this obvious conclusion. The Tibetan cavalry quickened up and entered the valley. When 20,000 people had reached the valley, the valley ahead suddenly became narrow. A thorny hillside narrows the valley by half its width. The Tibetan cavalry team, which had been advancing mightily, suddenly became crowded, causing confusion and congestion in the narrow places ahead.

"Walk slowly, don't mess around." General Danba yelled.

"Dududu" came from nowhere, and the sound was obviously not the trumpet of the Tibetan soldiers and horses.

"Who's blowing the trumpet?" Danba asked.

"Boom, boom, boom." There was a loud noise, directed towards the rear of the group. Then there was chaos in the rear of the team, and the rear cavalry began to stir up like a pot.

Danba asked aloud, "What's going on?" What's going on? ”

"Report to General Danba that there are enemy troops on the cliff behind. They threw down trees and rocks from the cliffs on both sides and were blocking the entrance to the valley and killing many of us. The news soon reached Danba's ears.

There was a buzz in Danba's head, and the most feared thing finally happened, and the Tang army really had an ambush.

"What's the panic? It's just those thousands of remnants of the soldiers, what if they block the mountain pass? What else can we do? Send people up the cliff and kill them all. General Langa still said nonchalantly.

Danba was furious and shouted, "Shut up, or I'll make you speechless forever." ”

General Langa glared at the terrier and was about to retort, when he heard the sound of killing in the direction of the narrow valley in front of him, and at the same time, countless black shadows surged out of the hillsides on both sides. Accompanied by the sound of whistling feathered arrows, the black dots of countless locust-like arrows appeared like a heavy rain from the faint light of the sky. The Tibetan soldiers and horses didn't have time to react, and they were instantly doused by this sudden rain of arrows.

Countless horses and soldiers fell, and the otherwise peaceful marching procession fell into a frenzy in an instant. The soldiers were screaming like flies, torches waving wildly, and there was chaos.

Langa watched all this with his mouth wide open, and General Danba pointed at his nose and scolded, "You fool killed us." If you don't give me the whole army to face the battle, why are you still stunned? I can tell you, if I die here today, I will slaughter you before I die. ”

Lang Ga woke up like a dream, and he couldn't care about arguing anymore, and loudly scolded his soldiers and horses to keep the formation and defend. The rest of the generals also scolded and restrained their subordinates. However, the rain of arrows on the hillside was intensive, and the trees and stones on the cliff at the mouth of the valley were constantly thrown down, blocking the way to the valley mouth. Ahead, there were Tang troops blocking the narrow valley road. Everyone's hearts were cold. It was clearly a premeditated and planned ambush, and the number was not the few thousand fleeing remnants, but tens of thousands.

Just like the Tubo army ambushed the cavalry of the Tang North Road a few days ago, now the feng shui is in turn, and today it is the turn of the Tubo people. The poor Kou Mo chased this sentence, and the Tubo people must not have learned it, otherwise they would not have fallen into today's situation. In the same way, they must not have learned the words of being too late, losing their horses, and being a man and leaving a line, but at this moment they are too much, and they have not left a glimmer of life for the remnants of the soldiers who have been chased by them to the death.
