Chapter 40: The First Battle Formation (Third Update, Asking for Votes)
Du He and Li Ji traveled side by side, and most of them gathered together along the way, personally surveying the surrounding terrain and discussing where to set up ambushes, in order to ensure that all future enemies would be annihilated.
Since Songtsen Gampo was not idle, they could not choose a dangerous place to set up an ambush. Because the more dangerous it is, the more it can make people suspicious and find problems. However, if there is no ambush, there is no natural danger to rely on, and it is not easy to completely annihilate the enemy army. Therefore, this ambush must have an important place that does not let the other party suspect and has natural dangers to rely on, which is really troublesome.
But fortunately, they are located in Jiannan Road, which belongs to the Bashu region, with many mountains and forests, and they really found a place suitable for ambush.
Li Ji secretly sent Niu Jinda to lead the troops to set up an ambush, and all he was waiting for was the surprise attack of Tubo at night.
For the night attack of Tibet, Du He was ten percent sure. This time, he saw through the intentions of the Tibetans and understood Songtsen Gampo's thoughts, so he set up such a conspiracy, so that they either took the risk of attacking at night, or retreated from the army, so as to force the other party to attack at night.
Therefore, he did not worry at all that Songtsen Gampo would not come at night.
At dusk, Li Ji gathered a vote of civil and military generals and told them the real battle plan.
Stubborn Sili, Liu Lan and the others looked at each other, but they also resolutely accepted the order.
Li Ji took a sharp breath and ordered: "Without further ado, the army retreats in batches at night. Our main army is the first wave, General Zhili is the second wave, and General Liu stays behind to intercept Tibet and buy time for our retreating army. General Liu, you can first pile up more firewood and grass in the camp, and when you feint, set fire to the village to intercept the enemy and lure the enemy into our encirclement. ”
All the generals in the tent received their orders with a bang.
Li Ji left Du He and Liu Lan to block the enemy's various strategies in good faith. Because at least it takes a lot of time to hold out at the time of the engagement, so that he can feign defeat and retreat, otherwise who would believe that the famous Tang soldiers would be defeated in a battle?
Li Ji and Liu Lan are worthy of being generals who have experienced a hundred battles, and when they discussed, various offensive and defensive tactics emerged one after another, which opened Du He's eyes. He had extraordinary wit and extraordinary courage, but he lacked such rich combat experience from them, and he felt that he had benefited a lot just by listening.
"The last general will go to arrange, although it is defeated and retreated, but before retreating, the last general will also let this group of Tubo miscellaneous people jump out of a good tooth!" Liu Lan took the order.
Du He looked forward to the smooth implementation of the plan, but when he thought of the soldiers who were about to die because of this plan, he suddenly felt an apology in his heart.
Li Ji had been on the battlefield for a long time and understood Du He's feelings about this matter, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "There are no immortals on the battlefield, as a general, what I think about is how to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory." It is true that these soldiers of the palace will be killed because of your tricks to lure the enemy, but many more will survive because of your tricks. ”
Du He also understands this principle, but it is just a little difficult to let go.
After all, people's hearts are made of flesh, and Du He is by no means the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless character.
After dinner, night gradually fell.
The dark clouds cover the sky, but the clouds are dense and rainless, which is the most conducive to sneak attacks and not conducive to pursuit.
Duhe is secretly happy, it is a good weather, and it seems that God is also helping them.
It was nearly early in the morning, and Songtsen Gampo had already led the night raiders to the outside of the camp.
There was silence in the world, and there was not a single murmur to be heard except for the mosquitoes chirping all around.
With the help of the scattered firelight in the camp, Songtsen Gampo was roughly clear about the enemy's camp, and his heart was also heavy, and he exclaimed: "This Li Ji is worthy of being a famous general of a hundred battles in the Tang Kingdom, you see that this military camp is arranged in layers and staggered; Groups of soldiers patrolling the camp are full of spirit and order; Grain and grass were piled up like a mountain, and they were heavily guarded. Even if it is a night attack, our army will not be able to take much advantage. It is no wonder that Daxiang often said that if it is not necessary, it should not be an enemy of the Tang State. ”
The Niang Chisang Yangton beside him was also a famous general in a hundred battles in Tibet, and agreed: "What Zampu said is reasonable, but the other party is tired from afar, and our army has been resting for a long time, but it is an advantage. ”
Now that the situation was so imminent that it had to be launched, Songtsen Gampo raised the order to charge.
"Kill, ......" More than 10,000 soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, followed by more than 6,000 soldiers lined up in a neat line, and quickly rushed towards their respective targets separately, as if they were overwhelming!
Suddenly, the tranquility and tranquility were thrown out of the clouds. There were only about 20 people at the front guard post of the Tang camp, and when they heard the cry of the day that the earth was cracking, they hurriedly rang the alarm bell, and they had been chopped over and stabbed by the soldiers who rushed to the ground in less than a moment.
For a time, shouts such as "enemy attack ......" and "meet the enemy's ......" came out one after another.
The whole Tang camp exploded!
The war drums sounded, and one by one the Tubo soldiers rushed into the camp like wolves, and they joined the Tang soldiers who had already reacted, killing each other in one place. In terms of individual combat ability, the Tubo soldiers were not inferior to the Tang soldiers in any way.
The Tang Dynasty was still martial, and the people were fierce, so the soldiers were brave, but Tubo was located on the plateau, the climate and environment were harsh, and under the run-in of natural factors, all of them were strong warriors.
Du Ho looked around, and roughly estimated that the enemy had committed at least fifteen thousand men in the night attack tonight, which was quite a large number in terms of surprise attack, and they had the upper hand because they had taken the lead and rushed into the camp to gain some upper hand.
Soldiers on both sides, you cut me and kill me very fiercely.
It was the first time he had seen such a scene, and it was ten or a hundred times more tragic than the war scenes he had seen on TV and movies.
"Withdraw!" Li Ji came to Du He's side, he belonged to one of Li Ji's main forces, and belonged to the first wave of retreating teams.
"Uncle, I want to stay and help General Liu retreat!" Du He saw that the Tang army on the front line was in a bitter battle because of himself, and he couldn't bear it.
Li Ji glanced at him, pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, I will allow you to come to Hu once, you are the person who is most familiar with the plan, and you can better lead the other party into the encirclement by assisting General Liu in retreating!" But...... Be careful! I know you're strong in martial arts, but this is a battlefield ......."
"Understood!" Du He shouted: "Beloved, you lead the Mo Dao team to join the second line of defense, General Wang Zuolang and General Luo Youlang, you divide your troops to rush into the enemy formation, rescue the soldiers who are trapped in the encirclement and hard fighting, and assist them to retreat into the second line of defense, I will lead the personal guards to break through from the front!" ”
Luo Tong, Wang Dezheng, and Fang Yiai received their orders in unison.
Li Ji was also relieved to see that Du He's commander Ruoding was also relieved, and led the army to retreat and set up an ambush.
Du He pulled out the coiling dragon sword, urging the sitting good horse to lead Fan Yuanchen and the five hundred men and horses to break in.
It was the first time for him to do this, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous, imitating the bridge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and shouted: "Chang'an Du Qinglian is here, who dares to fight with me!" ”
This is said very majesticly, very arrogantly, and very domineering.
Zhang Sanye's shout scared away Cao Ying's hundreds of thousands of troops, but Du He's shout directly caused more than a dozen spears to stab at his face!
