200.Chapter 218
γ2nd Updateγ
The time of leaving Sichuan was delayed for half a month, and the people were sleepy and lacking, so Guo Ye had to take the risk and choose to go north to northern Xinjiang along the Tibetan border.
After encamping and resting for the night, he made a fire to cook at dawn, and then turned around.
After a day's march on foot, they finally arrived at the junction of Yazhou and Kangding in Jiannan Province.
Kangding belongs to the border of Tibet, adjacent to Yazhou.
Guo Ye led the army to arrive here, and finally felt what it means to be in the vast sky and wilderness, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
The original plateau appearance, the endless loess slopes and dwarf, green barley grass.
From time to time, I saw a few wild yaks startled by the passing Longxi army, howling and mooing, running away wildly, splashing dust all over the sky.
Swish~~
A bitter and biting wind with a dry plateau blew through, blowing Guo Ye's cheeks a little painfully.
He tightened the reins and stopped at the horse, and sighed to the people around him: "See, our Shuzhong and Tubo are adjacent to each other, but they are different." β
Zhu Fatzi looked at the endless plateau in the wilderness, felt the desolation all over the wilderness, and said proudly: "That is, our Shuzhong fields are fertile and have the reputation of the country of abundance." This Tubo country, although I haven't set foot in it, but I already know it when I look at their border, hehe, it's not comparable, it's poor! β
Lying on the mule, he obviously couldn't stand the altitude sickness caused by the proximity to Tubo, and gasped and said: "Tubo is naturally not as rich as our Shuzhong, let alone the Central Plains, otherwise how could they often cross the border and loot grain, grass, cattle and sheep?" β
"Whew!"
Zhu Fatzi scolded with disdain: "Shut your crow's mouth, don't open your mouth and close your mouth to loot, what if you recruit the Tubo cavalry?" β
Guan Jiujiu was also afraid of this in his heart, and this time he did not scold Zhu Fatzi for the first time, and closed his mouth decisively.
Guo Ye didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and hummed: "Don't imagine the Tubo people to be so awesome, don't you?" If you do bump into them at the border, then hit. β
Zhu Fatzi's natural temperament did not change, and he smiled and praised Brother Guo for his domineering.
Only the dove continued to lie on the mule, praying in his heart not to run into the Tibetan cavalry.
The key is that the war is destined to kill people, and it is necessary to kill time, in case of delay to go to the Turkic battlefield in northern Xinjiang, isn't it all in vain?
Dada~~~
There was a rush of horses' hooves flying ahead, and the sound of seven or eight war horses galloping.
Guo Ye knew that Cheng Erniu, who should be in charge of the exploration ahead, returned again.
really
I saw Cheng Erniu waving the horizontal knife in his hand and shouting from afar: "Safety ahead, forward, forward!" β
Guo Ye said to the two humming two think tanks around him: "Tell me to go down, step up your pace, and strive to find a city garrisoned by the Tang Dynasty border army before dark, otherwise at night, bandits will run rampant, and if you really bump into the Tubo cavalry, you will be really blind." β
The terrain was unfamiliar, the night battle, and the fatigue of the day's journey, even if Guo Ye had the courage to fight with the Tubo people, he did not have the confidence to guarantee victory in the first battle.
Immediately, with a wave of the spear in his hand, he shouted to the three thousand Longxi army heralds who were arranged in an orderly manner like a long dragon swinging their tails behind him: "Keep going, move forward!" β
"Forward!"
"Lord Guo has an order, forward, forward!"
The voice was ordered, passed step by step, and after a while, the long dragon formation began to wriggle and slowly migrated forward.
One mile,
Wuli,
Ten miles,
Twenty miles,
Approaching dark, the Longxi army continued to advance on the desolate Tibetan border, not to mention the Tibetan cavalry and small bandits on the road, and even the ordinary grazing Tubo people could not be seen.
However, since they couldn't see people along the way, they naturally couldn't find a city for them to live in.
The night slowly fell, the stars shone one one by one, and the moonlight was sultry, which made Guo Ye feel uneasy.
Why can't you see a city? Could it be that you really want to set up camp in the wasteland tonight?
In case you slept until midnight and suddenly a Tibetan cavalry came to kill, it was no joke.
Paralyzed, Guo Ye regretted taking the road of the Tibetan border a little.
Since he didn't dare to sleep in the wilderness, Guo Ye had to ask the team to slow down the march in order to conserve their strength.
Then he once again instructed Cheng Erniu to lead seven fast horses as scouts to explore the road quickly.
Then, the team moved forward at an average pace......
After nearly five miles, there were still no lights, no people, let alone a city to live in.
At this time, the 3,000 Longxi army was hungry and cold, and most of the soldiers obviously began to lose their physical strength, and even shouted that they wanted to rest and set up camp to sleep.
Tired, so tired!
Not to mention that these soldiers who were born as water bandits have not received formal training at all, and even Guo Ye himself obviously feels that his physical strength is losing little by little.
Therefore, he didn't blame his subordinates for complaining that they were tired and wanted to sleep, so he had to be patient and continue to slow down the march, so that Kang Bao and Pang Feihu could be comforted as much as possible, and they should not be scolded and whipped.
Slowing down the march, stopping and stopping, it took nearly half an hour.
suddenly
The scout horse led by Cheng Erniu returned again, and quickly returned with the sound of horses' hooves kicking into his ears.
But this time, Guo Ye keenly found that Cheng Erniu, who was gradually approaching him, did not shout forward as always, but shouted incoherently, although he couldn't hear what he was shouting, but it was obvious that this guy was extremely flustered.
Mo Fei,
What's going on up ahead?
In his mind, Cheng Erniu had already galloped to the front, his face was nervous, and the horse under his crotch was snoring, and it was estimated that he was about to break his legs.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, Cheng Erniu was already shouting at Guo Ye immediately: "Little brother, the big thing is not good, there is a big incident ahead." β
Even the gift of giving up his hands and clenching his fists was panicked, and he forgot to fight.
After hearing this, Guo Ye raised his hand to stop him from speaking in a hurry, and soothed: "Don't worry, speak slowly, take a good breath first." β
"Mmmmmm, there is a soil city in front, which is as big as Longxi County."
Cheng Erniu didn't stop, and continued to shout: "We saw from a distance that hundreds of torches were flashing outside the Tucheng, and there were incomprehensible screams and shouts, it should be, it should be the cavalry of the Tubo people attacking the city." β
"What?"
Guo Ye heard this, and exclaimed in surprise.
The fat man Zhu behind him was suddenly stunned, so frightened that he couldn't say a word, but glanced at Guan Jiu from the corner of his eye.
Although Guan Dove didn't speak, his body lying on the mule immediately seemed to be a conditioned reflex, and he scurried up with an unbelievable expression.
This guy is bitter in his heart, it's over, is Zhu Fatzi right? Am I the crow's mouth?
After thinking about it, he immediately urged Guo Yedao: "My lord, the Tubo cavalry is known for its ferocity on the border, let's retreat quickly." β
Zhu Fatzi also rarely agreed this time: "Little brother, I think we should return to the fork in the same way and take Shannan Road." β
The exclamations and dissuasion of the two immediately attracted the attention of Kang Bao, Pang Feihu and others, and they all gathered around Guo Ye.
Guo Ye did not immediately express his position, but asked Cheng Erniu: "Erniu, can you see who is guarding the city above the earth city?" β
Cheng Erniu had already finished his breath at this time, nodded and said: "Although I can't see who is on the Tucheng, but I can hear the accents of our Han people, by the way, I also saw a yellow dragon flag erected on the head of the city!" β
Inlaid with the Yellow Dragon Flag, with a Chinese accent?
Guo Ye was slightly stunned, and thought, that is our Datang city.
Guo Ye thought of it, Kang Bao and the others also thought of it, and they all looked ahead in surprise, it seemed that it should be the Tubo cavalry attacking the Tang City at night.
Guo Ye asked again: "Hundreds of torches outside Tucheng?" β
Cheng Erniu sighed and continued to nod.
Hearing this, Guo Ye stopped asking questions and fell into silence.
Hundreds of Tibetan cavalry dared to attack the city of the Tang Dynasty at night, could it be that the garrison in this earthen city was very weak?
Now, if you have returned, how can you still have time to reach northern Xinjiang?
But if you continue to advance, you must first exterminate the hundreds of Tibetan cavalry, and you must fight a battle first.
For the 3,000 Longxi Army, which has not yet practiced and has not yet been on the battlefield, hundreds of skilled Tubo cavalry are not a joke.
Even if you can repel the Tubo cavalry with the Tang border army in Tucheng, but if you fight the small ones, can the old ones not come?
Behind the border line, there is the country of Tibet, if it is not done well, thousands of Tibetan cavalry will be lured over.
When the time comes......
Do you really want to return?
Do you really want to see death and not save it?
Guo Ye hesitated for a while, weighing the pros and cons, maybe returning the same way is not a good countermeasure to protect himself.
However, if I retreat like this, how can I bear it? Although I don't know those border troops, everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang, the sons of the Han family, and the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Allowing them to be burned and looted by Tibetan dogs, they were not only indifferent to the rescue, but also fled.
Is this still a standing peeing master?
Big husband, do something, don't do something.
But today's matter, since I have met, I Guo Ye can't admit it.
Immediately, Guo Ye looked at Kang Bao and the others and asked, "What do you think?" β
In this matter, he didn't ask Guan Jiu and Zhu Fatzi, these two goods were definitely bad goods on the battlefield, typical masters and non-masters.
As soon as the voice fell, Kang Bao, Pang Feihu and others looked at Guo Ye with resolute faces.
Kang Bao took the lead in expressing his position and shouted: "Brother, you can't admit this matter, let's do it!" β
Immediately afterwards, Pang Feihu, Shao Xiao, Cheng Erniu, Ruan Laosan and others also hugged their fists one after another, and shouted in unison with a solemn face:
"Little brother, we all listen to you, you can do whatever you say, our Longxi Erlang is by no means a bad thing."
Guo Ye looked at everyone's statements, both moved and helpless, moved by the same heart of brothers, and its profits were broken; Helplessly, as long as today's battle starts, there will be endless troubles.
However, he still made a choice for the first time, and smiled bitterly at everyone: "Brothers, it seems that today my Guo Ye is going to be willful again!" β
Then the reins were pulled high, and he shouted at the crowd: "Pass my order, move forward quickly, reinforce the brother army, and repel the Tibetan dogs." β
"Yes!!"
Everyone replied in unison again, without the slightest hesitation or indecision.
After a while, the orders were passed down one after another, spreading to all parts of the 3,000 Longxi Army.
"Lord Guo has an order, move forward quickly, and retreat from the enemy!"
"Brothers, let's do it, let's do it!"
"Wang Ermao, your grandma's foodie, don't sleep, hurry up and pick up the guy and kill the enemy with Brother Guo!"
3,000 Longxi Army,
Morale, like firewood and fire, suddenly flourished ......, the home of reading! Unique URL:
