Chapter 209: Ambush

"Let's go, hurry up, Shancheng is almost unbearable. "In the rugged mountain road, a general loudly urged more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to march.www.biquge.info

This general is about 30 years old, with a Chinese face, silkworm eyebrows, a serious face, a few long beards, and looks quite heroic, it is Wang Xiaojie, who was previously appointed as the deputy chief of the Taohe Road March.

Before the current appointment, Wang Xiaojie was promoted as the Sima of the Anxi Protector because he was appreciated by Tang Xiujing, the former protector of Anxi, and later led the army to resist bravely when Tubo attacked the four towns of Anxi, but because the enemy was strong and weak, he had to be ordered to retreat to the area of Liangzhou, as the first line of defense to prevent the Turks from entering the Hetao area, until the army of Heizhi Changzhi arrived to take over the defense, and then went to support Shancheng.

At this time, Shancheng has been besieged for more than two months, not only is there a shortage of food and grass, but the loss of personnel in the city is also very serious, and it is estimated that it will be very good to hold on for another half a month.

Therefore, after Wang Xiaojie opened the army, he immediately ordered a rapid march and asked to rush to the city of Shancheng within ten days.

There are only more than 500 miles from Liangzhou to Shancheng, even according to the normal marching speed, you can reach Shancheng within ten days, but this road is a mountain road, if it is a normal march, it is good to walk thirty miles a day, and it is simply an incredible thing to reach within ten days, so in this case, Wang Xiaojie can only order a rapid march, and he must walk fifty miles at the earliest every day.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers under his command are accustomed to climbing and crossing mountains, and they are afraid of Wang Xiaojie's military law, so they can also complete the task on time and can march about 60 miles a day.

This army of more than 10,000 people walked like this for eight days, and saw that there were only fifty miles left from Shancheng, and after another day's attack, they would rush to the city of Shancheng, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a desolate horn sound, and then they saw dense figures behind the dense forest not far away, and it seemed that there were no less than 50,000 or 60,000 people.

These 50,000 or 60,000 people surrounded Wang Xiaojie's army, and then set up a formation, trapping Wang Xiaojie's army in the core.

"This, this, how can this be? Alas, poor our army marched for eight days in a row, and now it has almost exhausted its strength, and it will soon arrive in Shancheng, it is the time when the army is the most slack, but encountered an ambush, I really didn't expect the enemy general to be so shrewd, the grasp of the war has reached such a precise situation, it is really a very terrible deployment, so it seems that the ambush must be the first general of Tubo Garqinling! I really underestimated this person. ”

This time Wang Xiaojie is not a lie, because the Garqin Mausoleum was defeated by Li Xian, so although he has repeatedly emphasized not to despise this person, but among the generals stationed there, there are still different degrees of pride and despisam of the enemy, thinking that the Garqin Mausoleum was defeated by Li Xian eight years ago, and his own military ability is not too difficult, and it will not be too difficult to win the battle, and although Wang Xiaojie thinks that he has paid enough attention to the other party, for example, although this time it is a rapid march for eight consecutive days, but he has not forgotten to send spies, so as not to encounter the enemy's ambush, but because there has been no wind and grass in the past few days, the vigilance of the Garqin Mausoleum has also been relaxed a lot.

However, he didn't expect that the enemy army had a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, and obviously saw the spies pass through here safely, and reported that it was okay here, so he led the army to continue to advance, but even so, he was still ambushed by the enemy, which shows how shrewd the enemy commander is?

Fortunately, Wang Xiaojie is also a determined person, knowing that something has happened, it is useless to regret it, and the only way now is to stick to the spot, delay time as much as possible, and then expect his own reinforcements to arrive.

So Wang Xiaojie was not surprised, and immediately ordered the soldiers to form a formation and hold on, fortunately, the soldiers are usually well-trained, and act immediately after receiving the order, as long as they use the time of tea, they can form a circular formation, which is fortified by shield bearers, spearmen, and archers layer by layer, forming a human wall.

However, the Tubo army did not give the Tang army time at all, and the cavalry, which had long been on standby on the flank, directly launched an attack under the order.

"If we let the enemy cavalry rush over, then we will definitely not survive today, the cavalry team obeyed the order, immediately dispersed to the periphery, and resisted the enemy at all costs, buying time for our army to set up the formation."

At this time, Wang Xiaojie couldn't care about feeling sorry for the 3,000 cavalry under his command, and decisively let them act as meat shields in order to buy a little time for the army to set up, although he knew that doing so actually meant that his cavalry would be wiped out, but there was no way to do it.

After all, if you do this, you will only sacrifice 3,000 cavalry, and if you don't do this, not only the cavalry, but all the infantry will have to ride in!

Although the final outcome may also be the result of the total annihilation of the army, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for stubbornness, it must not be easily given up.

In fact, the so-called famous generals do not mean that they will never lose the battle, but that they can make the most appropriate decisions in the shortest possible time, preserve their own strength as much as possible, and consume the enemy's strength to the greatest extent.

Wang Xiaojie is such a famous general, although it is still difficult for him to keep this team, but the current decision is indeed the most appropriate approach.

Those cavalrymen naturally knew what it meant for them to resist at this time, but none of them had any intention to resist, and they did not hesitate to ride their horses, came to the periphery as fast as possible, held the spears in their hands, and decided to use their lives to buy time for the robes to survive.

The enemy's cavalry is like a torrent, gradually pressing, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves not only stepped on the ground, but also stepped on the hearts of the Tang soldiers, they felt that as long as they opened their mouths, their hearts would fall out, but all the people were not seriously frightened by the sound of horses' hooves, the infantry were all arranged in an orderly manner, and the cavalry were scattered on the periphery, calmly raising the spears in their hands, calmly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

In an instant, when the enemy cavalry approached, all the cavalry officers and men had their hair open, their eyes wide, and they shouted in unison at the moment when the enemy cavalry came to them, and stabbed the spears in their hands fiercely forward, without any regard for their own safety.

I only heard a burst of screams, hundreds of enemy cavalry were stabbed off the horse, at the same time, there were dozens of Tang cavalry soldiers were stabbed by the enemy, but these soldiers were not afraid at all, they staggered the moment when the war horses were staggered, they struggled to pounce on the enemy's horses, threw the enemy soldiers off the horses, hugged them tightly, and then were trampled into meat by the war horses together......

From the beginning to the end, not a single officer of the Tang Army abandoned his weapons and surrendered, and when the spear was gone, he slashed with a horizontal knife, and when the horizontal knife was gone, he jumped off the horse with the enemy in his arms, and then bit it with his teeth and kicked with his feet, and until the last moment of death, he never gave up causing damage to the enemy.

"Although we die, the robes can be safe, so it is worth it for us to die."

"Hehe, killing one is enough, killing two earns one, today I killed three, even if it's dead, it's worth the fuck."

"Wang Laohei, let's compare today, see how many thieves have been killed? Let's see which one finishes first, although you are better than Lao Tzu's martial arts, but today Lao Tzu must have won this gambling game. ”

"Put your mother's fart, Liu Scar, Lao Tzu has never lost, and it's the same today, don't be delusional..... be careful." Wang Laohei saw a Tibetan cavalry behind him swinging a knife at Liu Scar, and immediately rushed forward, blocking the knife for Liu Scar, and then swung his own knife out and cut off the head of the Tubo cavalryman, but a knife more than a foot long was cut on his chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain, and he couldn't see it alive.

Liu Scar hugged Wang Laohei, tears rained down, but he heard the other party say: "Damn, Liu Scar, this time you won, Lao Tzu took the first step, but you, the old boy, owe Lao Tzu a life, it is still Lao Tzu who took advantage, hehe, Lao Tzu slaughtered four Tibetan thieves, there is one more ...... than you"

After finishing speaking, Wang Laohei passed away with a smile......

There are definitely not a few examples like this on the battlefield, although the soldiers of Datang are facing the fate of death, but each of them is not afraid of death, regards death as home, and uses their lives to protect the interests of the robe, even if it is to fight for a little bit of vitality, they are not hesitant.

Although the Tibetan cavalry occupies an absolute advantage, but under the desperate efforts of the Tang cavalry soldiers, they are all terrified, and even many Tubo soldiers can't even hold their spears tightly, and they forget to dodge in the face of the Tang army's attack, and there are definitely not a few who are killed by the Tang cavalry in this kind of mental trance.

Although the cavalry on both sides are fighting fiercely, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty after such a desperate effort, the three thousand people will soon be wiped out, but the infantry of the Tang Dynasty is as if they are gone, they deeply know that these brothers use their lives to win a glimmer of life for them, so they are all in tears, gritting their teeth and desperately arranging the formation, striving to establish a defense as quickly as possible.

Since the brothers use their lives to defend them, then they can only live well to live up to the expectations of their brothers, of course, this does not mean that there is no principle and no lower limit in order to live, they are either to better entangle with the enemy, they will never surrender, as long as they hold on to the last moment, even if they die, they are absolutely unwilling to live.

The tragic battle finally came to an end, 3,000 Tang cavalry soldiers were all killed, and at the same time, it also brought nearly 5,000 casualties to the enemy, and the greatest significance of their battle is that they used their own flesh and blood to win the precious time for the robes to set up the formation, with the last burst of fighting disappeared, the defensive formation was finally formed, only to hear a sound of breaking the air, and the archers standing at the innermost level of the team vented their anger against the enemy with the bows and arrows in their hands.

The originally neat formation of the Tubo cavalry began to appear scattered.

Fortunately, at this time, the order to retreat was issued, and the Tibetan cavalry finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to the rear of the formation...... (To be continued.) )
