The Shence army marching along the Huangshui River was preparing to set up camp, and it seemed to be a full moon tonight, and the moon had already raised its head, and the cold wind matched the cold moonlight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the vast land, the undulating hills can be faintly seen in the distance, coupled with the dusk sunset and the early moon, which may make many people poetic, so there are so many side poems. For one premise, he had to dress warmly.

Chu Er was dressed very warmly, but he didn't have a lot of poetry, only his whole body was sweating, and because of the march, his whole body was hot.

When the captain gave the order to rest, he moved his hands and feet on the spot, although he was a little tired, but he could still hold on, just a little tired. Today I have only walked 80 miles, which is not a long distance compared to the previous few days.

After a little rest, we started camping. The carriage also drove over, and Wei Da jumped from the carriage, followed by the whole of their brigade.

When the carriage was empty, the horse frontier was immediately relieved, the horse was led aside, and the whole army began to camp according to the camping procedure, and everyone was ready at great speed.

Because of the carriage, the team of Weida seems to be very relaxed. Because a lot of materials are consumed, there are a lot of empty trolleys, which can carry people, not only the team of Weida, but also many teams come by carriage.

However, no one complained about anything, and they didn't feel unfair if they didn't catch it, and they didn't necessarily rejoice that they got it. Because immediately they began to form a team, to prepare to protect the camp.

It was not easy for them to let them take the carriage, just because they might engage in battle, they had already been targeted by the Tibetan scouts, and there was a possibility of a battle at any time. The camp cannot be disturbed, and in the event of a battle, they will be the first to come on top.

At this time, the soldiers were busy camping, and the officers were in meetings. As soon as the camp was set up, Xiaohu recruited the officers for a discussion meeting, except for a small number of officers with a team, ready to defend against the attack of the Tibetans, and urged the camping officers to be absent, all of them arrived. However, at first glance, it seems that there are a little fewer people.

We have bought a lot of time, and now it is up to us to see if the Tibetans will be fooled. Xiaohu sat on the main seat and said, "It will definitely come." I don't believe that the Tibetans can resist the temptation of food. Li Chengyi was full of confidence, and he couldn't see at all whether the Tubo people who were still nervous about the fear of heat would be fooled.

The day before yesterday, the scouts discovered the traces of the Tibetans, and that night they raided the Tibetans and got a lot of information. There are about 50,000 Tibetans, and the coach is afraid of heat. As for the location of the fear of heat, it is more than 100 miles away in Shanzhou.

At that moment, Gao Yu said that the whole army would assault, and before the other party reacted, he would defeat and kill him.

'No, I can't. Xiaohu shook his head and refused, "Although the enemy's Chinese army may not be as strong as us, what if it is more than us." I believe that we can defeat them even if there are more of them than our army, but we have already forcibly marched hundreds of miles, and now we have to march for another night to attack them, and it is too great a burden on the soldiers. ’

Although they were interrogated separately, there should have been no possibility of collusion among the captives. But what do these soldiers know? Maybe they knew that it was all one-sided, and the other armies didn't disperse too far, or maybe we got there, and the armies came back, and we happened to be surrounded. ’

"That can't be, we've come all the way here, and we don't dare to engage in the battle, but by the time we get the news, we'll already run away from the heat." Someone retorted, didn't they dare to come here all the way to stop these Tibetan beasts, cause greater tragedy, and save the local people? How did you get here, but you don't dare to move forward.

There will be people who refute it, because this is a military discussion, the Shence Army is not like the tradition, the main general is decided, in the military meeting, there is only right and wrong, there is no identity, as long as you can participate in the military meeting, you can speak, of course, you have to talk about the order.

After the military council is over, no one, whether in favor or against it, must carry out the decision of the military council. However, in the military council, it is impossible to have that kind of voting, and the chief general still has a considerable degree of decision-making power.

'We're not going, let them come.' Li Chengyi said. The reason is that the Tibetans have little food, and even if they plunder several states, it is believed that they will not be able to grab much.

Even if it's a lot, I don't believe that some people think that there is a lot of food. Li Chengyi meant to use military rations to seduce them over. In doing so, there are many purposes.

First of all, they will wait for their work, they will not have to travel thousands of miles to find the Tibetans, just wait for them to come, and they will not have to worry about being surrounded by them or sneak attacked.

Second, it can have the effect of dividing troops. The Tibetan people have also robbed a lot of things, and they must be kept in custody. If we come to chase them, we will inevitably leave some people behind, after all, he is here to carry grain, and it is impossible to raise the whole army to attack us, and when the time comes, the spoils of war will have to be moved, and they will have to be moved over, and they will have to add grain and grass, which will be more troublesome.

Li Chengyi had to propose and solve many problems. So, during the day, while letting the soldiers have a good rest, they acted in a play, worried that others would not be able to play well, and it was Xiaohu and Li Chengyi, and Gao Biao who were responsible for acting.

Of course, they will also be very careful, in case these captives suddenly want to escape from prison, they will be finished, so there are many ambushes nearby.

At the end of the night, there was a slight commotion among the captives, because everyone could not have enough to eat, so as not to have enough to eat, and in order to eat more food, they fought. Originally, it was just a few people, but it later evolved into a rebellion of all Tibetan prisoners.

So, the Tang army began to suppress them, and they were not polite to these prisoners at all, and they had not yet decided what to do with them anyway. Now it's making trouble, just right, and it's dealt with together.

After stabbing with knives and guns, and solving the prisoners of the riot, he counted the heads and found that there were two missing, and Li Chengyi knew that the matter was half the battle.

Keeping the captives here was simply deliberate, to give the captives a chance to escape. As for the captives being able to understand Chinese, it was found through observation that when they asked about the information of Tibet, there were a few expressions that were different from ordinary people, obviously understanding the Chinese language, and deliberately pretending not to understand, so there was such a show.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the Tang army immediately pulled out the camp and began to walk back, in order to gain time, the method of forced march was adopted, the faster they walked, the more tired the Tubo chased.

Now I just don't know, whether Tubo was fooled or not, as the mastermind, Li Chengyi is also very worried, but he is on the road, as far as he and Xiaohu are concerned, he can express his worries. Not now, if even he is timid, how can he give people confidence.

'Did those Tibetan scouts catch them alive?' Xiaohu asked, "I caught a few alive, but they didn't know either." ’

During the day, after they set out, they were targeted by the Tibetan scouts, and there were not many of them, so they hung them from a distance, keeping a distance not far or close, and spying on them.

Xiaohu let the scouts set up an ambush and caught a few live mouths. I know that they received the news at noon yesterday, and in the evening, they found their whereabouts and rescued two people back, but I don't know what happened after that. They were ordered to monitor the Tang army and be sure to grasp its whereabouts.

This makes them embarrassed, in the end, the Tubo people have not been fooled. Will they chase after them, if they don't chase them, they would have arrived in Shanzhou, but now they are returning the same way, and they ran for nothing at all. This made Li Chengyi very entangled, it was he who suggested sending troops at the beginning, saying that it was he who would retreat to lure the enemy, if Tubo did not come at all, then they would be working in vain.

'Is there a return on the former army?' Ignoring Li Chengyi's entanglement, Xiaohu asked, and as soon as an officer wanted to speak, a soldier outside the tent announced, "Report, Wuli found a Tubo brigade of people, about 10,000 people, all of them are horse soldiers." ’

Xiaohu immediately rushed out of the tent and went to the front line to observe. He rushed to a high platform that had been erected and took out his binoculars to take a look. You don't even need a telescope to see the dust in the distance. A large dust, judging from the shape, it is known that it is cavalry, and the infantry will be relatively low. It's not like that, it's raised high, it's columnar.

In front of the cavalry was the scout of the Shence Army, who was speeding up and running back at the moment, and it was over if he was overtaken. In front of the large battalion, several lines have been lined up, and the soldiers in the rear have accelerated their movements, and they are all rushing for time.

They had to go ahead, and the Shence army went out of the camp to defend the team, and they were ready, Wei Da was very nervous, and the crossbow arrows in his hands were raised and lowered, and put down and raised. The crossbowman behind him was amused, but he didn't notice that his hand was shaking.

Don't be nervous, just do the training. Probably feeling the emotions of the team members, the team leader turned his head and comforted the team members, and the team leader was also shouting to calm everyone down.

Eventually, the scouts in front of them escaped, and although a few of them stumbled halfway through, they managed to run back most of them. They crossed the forward line of the Shence Army and rushed to the main camp. To report back the situation.

'reported that the Tibetan cavalry was found, with more than 10,000 numbers. The scout who fled back yelled, in fact, he didn't need to roar, standing on the high platform, Xiaohu had already seen it clearly.

'Let the whole army prepare. Half of the men and horses were divided to defend in front, and the rest of the men and others stepped up their camp. Xiaohu frowned, there were too many people in Tubo, I didn't expect so many to come.

Now don't worry that the Tibetan people won't come. Although he was nervous that Tubo had sent so many people, Xiaohu still put on a relaxed attitude, "As long as you kill these dogs, you won't send more people if you don't fear the heat." ’

No, I'm worried about what if I hurt them. Gao Biao objected, and said with a serious face, "What if we are frightened by the fear of heat and rush back to Tibet, we still need to fight." ’

"Haha, yes, it's still a little bit of a point, what if it really hurts this group of dogs, and it frightens the little heart that is afraid of heat and immature. ''Yes, if we frighten him into having nightmares in the middle of the night, we will be guilty of greatness.' ’

Even Gao Yu made a rare joke, how could other people not understand, and they put on a faction, in case they hurt the Tubo people, what should they do.

Of course, it's not that Xiaohu and they underestimate the enemy, but this kind of battle is the first real battle of this new army. Although there have been several battles before, they are all sieges, otherwise they are night attacks. There is no such face-to-face experience for the big army.

I saw a row of figures on the distant horizon, which could be seen without a telescope. The cavalry of the Tibetan people, covering the sky and the sun, is still a horse army, all of them are one person and two horses, and it is sad that they run so fast.

The momentum formed by more than 10,000 people and more than 20,000 horses made many soldiers very nervous, even those veterans who had participated in the Jiangnan crackdown on thieves swallowed their spit.

The rumbling sound was like thunder, and the ground trembled slightly, as if it shook everyone's hearts. Everyone felt as if a dark cloud was drifting from the sky, or some bad luck was about to befall them, and their hearts were heavy. If it weren't for the habit of being kicked and tortured in various ways, if it weren't for the habit they had developed for a long time, I'm afraid they would all have to disperse.

Even got off the high platform, Xiaohu was very nervous when he commanded it recently, and they all said that there were more than 10,000 people, boundless, although there were 20,000 people in the Shence army, but it was not comparable to the horse army of more than 10,000 people. Not to mention the momentum of the horses, this person and the horses add up to 30,000, and the number alone is more than half of their Divine Army.

Of course, fighting a war is not based on the number of people, but on one side with more people, even if it is a rabble, it is quite scary. There are too many displaced people in history, relying on the number of people to break the city.

Just as they were nervously guarded, the Tibetan horse team also stopped, stopped a few miles as far as the eye could see, and looked at the team.

Although the number of this team is only about half of theirs, this strict formation also makes the Tubo people dare not easily attack.

I saw that the three rows in the front row were shield-wielding and long-haired warriors, and the back should be crossbowmen. The reflection of the sunlight shone off metal and weapons, dazzling their eyes.

If it is normal times, these Tibetan people may covet their weapons and equipment, these are all iron weapons, although the Tibetan warriors do not lack weapons, but the backward production capacity also makes iron tools very valuable. Most of the ones were snatched from the Tang people, and at first glance, how could they not covet so much metal.

However, this army was awe-inspiring, immovable, and even if the number was slightly small, it would not write to them, which made them quite shocked in their hearts and did not dare to make a mistake.

The two sides looked at each other for a while, and they confronted each other for a long time. The Tubo people retreated, but not all of them, leaving an army supervisor to supervise the Tang army. Others are gone.

'How did they retreat?' Someone asked, and Xiaohu explained, "I probably see that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, even if they are more numerous than us, but if they directly charge the battle, the loss will be not small." ’

'If it were a normal day, they could have made a detour, taking advantage of the advantage of the horse army, and detouring to the flank, and they were outnumbered by us, leaving one to keep watch, and the other to move. But the terrain here, with two mountains and a valley, did not allow them to do so. ’

They're not going to just quit. Of course not, let the soldiers continue to be on guard, and the rest of the people will step up their encampment. (To be continued.) )
