Banner hunting, drums bursting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the clear sky, more than 60,000 Tang troops and Nanzhao troops were in one place, each other's clothes and armor were distinct, and they were particularly eye-catching.

Standing on the improvised dirt mountain, Pei Xingjian looked down at the battle situation, and he had gradually smiled with the belief that he would die.

Fang Yiai's Modao Army ranks first under Du He in terms of attack power, and even the Xuanfeng Army, one of the three major powerhouses in Datang, cannot be compared. If it weren't for the fatal disadvantage in speed, it would have taken the place of the selector. However, in the current situation, there is no need for speed at all.

Nanzhao was bent on seizing the grain and grass of the Tang army, and pressed all the troops up, without taking care of the rear at all. The rear line of defense, extremely weak. At the same time, before Pei Xingjian learned of the arrival of reinforcements, he planned to burn the grain and grass and die with the Nanzhao army.

He had already used the grain cart as a guardrail and formed a circle to lure the Nanzhao army into the circle. The appearance of Fang Yiai's love was unexpectedly blocking the retreat of the Southern Zhao Army. The two armies inadvertently completed a tacit cooperation and made dumplings for the Nanzhao army.

This time, the strength of the Mo Dao Army is completely reflected, and the domineering and mighty Mo Dao is slashed on the person's body, and the direct result is that the other party loses its combat effectiveness, which is still the result of cutting off. If it hits the point, then there is nothing to say, and the recruiter has no hope of even 0.1 percent of survival.

Blood splattered, and people turned on their backs.

Under the incomparably strong strength of the Modao Army, the Southern Zhao Army, which had the upper hand, gradually could not support it.

His mind was in turmoil, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

He boasted that he was a strong soldier under his command, and he was unparalleled in foot, but in the face of the terrifying explosive power of the Modao Army, he didn't even have the power to resist.

This is a completely one-sided massacre......

In fact, this result is not entirely due to the strength of the Modao Army, and the gap in science and technology is also among them. It's like cold weapons and hot weapons, if you have millions of soldiers, against the atomic bomb, it's all a dish.

In addition to having an indestructible Mo knife, each of them was wearing more than fifty catties of foot armor, and ordinary swords could hardly hurt them in the slightest. Nanzhao is located in a remote area, the smelting technology is backward, and most of their weapons are of low quality, so it is difficult to cause great damage to Buren Jia.

The brave Nanzhao Army naturally let the Modao Army eat to death.

The winner is gradually becoming clear.

**********

Lu Qiang was dizzy, and he couldn't remember how many people he had killed and how many knives he had received.

Now he didn't mention how depressed he was in his heart, he regretted it a lot, he knew it was like this, so he wouldn't have betrayed Tang Jun's intelligence for that little bit of money.

Selling information, although the money comes quickly, it has to be spent on life.

Originally, Lu Qiang had made sufficient plans, he knew that because he revealed the news, he was likely to be attacked, so he decided to be a deserter at the beginning and flee the battlefield while the chaos was in chaos.

He has money on him, where can't he go?

As a result, everything is like a phantom in a dream, it is all whimsical.

The Tang army was not in a mess as he wished, and under Pei Xingjian's reasonable and effective command, even if the strength was not good and could not withstand the offensive of Nanzhao, the army was not chaotic, but counterattacked little by little.

Lu Qiang was on the front line, and his left and right were Tang troops. The Tang Army's punishment for deserters was extremely harsh, and there was no way to retreat alone. At the same time, the Tang army was brave, if it was not for the main general to flee, the soldiers rarely deserted, and he could only be on the front line with the continuous battle under the command.

His character is not good, his martial arts are not bad, he has killed a lot of Nanzhao soldiers, and he has been injured in many places, but he can still stand and protect himself with a knife.

Lu Qiang cut down a soldier with a knife, and took the opportunity to look left and right from a distance, only to see the various banners of the Tang Army sparsely stirred into the sea of people. One moment several flags merged into one group, and the next they spread out again, striking in depth at the army of tens of thousands of enemies. Looking ahead, in the farthest distance, stood a banner with the word "Fang": a member of the Tang Army would rush to the front. The unique armor and terrifying strange knife were like killing gods in the crowd, and they were slashed out with one sword, not to mention that five or six people were killed by the knife.

With him, we can win.

Lu Qiang had this thought in his mind, shouted loudly, exerted his strength, and raised his sword with the torrent.

Even the villain Lu Qiang was encouraged, not to mention the other soldiers, and the morale of the Tang army increased significantly.

Under the front and rear attacks, the Nanzhao army became more and more difficult, and it was difficult to connive at the courage of ten thousand people, and it was difficult to have the power to return to the sky.

The direction he chose to break through was exactly where Lu Qiang was......

**********

Meng Nan still has some military level, he put aside the Mo Dao Army that Fang Yu loved, and broke through in one fell swoop after breaking through with the grain transportation army.

Although Pei Xingjian was aware of the intentions of the Nanzhao army at the first time, there was no strong army in his hands that could resist the breakthrough of the Nanzhao army, so he could only drag them to the maximum extent and give the Modao army more opportunities to kill the enemy.

The strength of the grain transport troops under Pei Xingjian's command was insufficient, and the pursuit was in danger of being counter-annihilated. Fang Yiai's soldiers have strength, but the speed is not enough, so they can only watch them break through.

Pei Xingjian asked people to clean up the battlefield, and he personally went to greet Fang Yiai and meet him.

"General Fang came in time, if the general hadn't arrived in time, I, Pei Xingjian, would have become a sinner in Datang." Pei Xingjian knew the importance of this grain and grass to the Tang Army, and he was grateful to Fang Yiai who arrived in time.

Because of Du He's relationship, Fang Yiai has a good relationship with Su Dingfang, he is a good friend, and he is also very enthusiastic about his friend's apprentice, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the situation is, but I can see that you are very tenacious...... What I don't understand is why there are so many soldiers and horses in Tibet, they have all made the old *** a mouse, how did these soldiers come about? ”

Pei Xingjian said: "It should be reinforcements, if I guess correctly, this is a card from Songtsen Gampo, and it is reinforcements from other countries." Actually, I don't know anything about it...... Why did they appear on the grain routes of our army, accurately calculate the time, and lay ambush troops. ”

This question has been in Pei Xingjian's mind for a while, since he found out that the enemy attacked, he has had this question, but the situation at that time did not allow him to think about it more, and now that the battle is won, this question has resurfaced in his mind again.

As a nation with a thousand-year history, by the time of the Tang Dynasty, many military problems had been prevented. As the grain road said, there was almost no robbery of grain and grass in the Tang Dynasty. It's just that there are too many allusions to the rout caused by the cutting off of grain routes and the robbery of grain and grass for thousands of years. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, there was already a set of effective and reasonable prevention methods.

On the grain road leading to the army, there are special patrols responsible for patrolling the safety of the grain road, and they are handed over in sections, as long as there is an army ambush, there is no possibility of escaping their eyes, but this ambush seems to come from heaven.

There is only one explanation, the ambush soldiers know exactly their route, know their movements, know their marching speed, and even be accurate to the minute and second. Before they arrived, rush to the battlefield and set up an ambush.

Fang Yiai whispered: "Do you suspect that someone in the army has leaked information?" ”

Pei Xingjian nodded silently, this was something he didn't want to see, but it was a fact.

The two talked in a low voice for a long time.

Pei Xingjian said: "I'll go to see the wounded soldiers, and I'll ask General Fang for the defense." ”

Fang Yiai solemnly promised.

Pei Xingjian came to the makeshift medical camp to comfort the wounded soldiers.

When he came to the seriously injured area, Pei Xingjian found that there were many soldiers whispering in front of him, and he was surprised, so he took two steps forward and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldiers saw that it was Pei Xingjian and hurriedly saluted.

Pei Xingjian ignored it, his gaze attracted a seriously injured patient treated by the military doctor, to be precise, a ingots next to the seriously injured patient. It was white and bright, and there were as many as five ingots.

At this time, a soldier replied: "Lord Yu, this is from Captain Lu Qiang, he is seriously injured and unconscious, the doctor removed his coat and bandaged his wounds, and these ingots will roll out." ”

Pei Xingjian's eyes revealed a hint of chill, the prices in the Tang Dynasty were extremely low, and the money was particularly large. A bucket of rice is only four or five yuan, and a small piece of silver is four or five thousand yuan according to the price of later generations. This also means that the general salary in the Tang Dynasty is not high, and dozens of Kaiyuan Tongbao can maintain the livelihood of a family for a month.

As a school captain, Lu Qiang's military salary in January is no more than 100 Kaiyuan Tongbao, how can he have a few silver ingots?

Pei Xingjian smiled quietly and asked the doctor to take care of Lu Qiang, and let them use all means to save him.

Decisive Valley.

This is a little-known mountain col located in the territory of Tibet, where the birds are uninhabited and there is no name. But because it is related to the survival of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo specially took the decisive valley for this mountain col to indicate the survival of life and death, and it was in a battle.

According to his calculations, the attack on the grain and grass of the Tang army was just a few days, and whether it could turn defeat into victory was also at this moment.

Although he got the exact information, he was still a little worried, after all, this was related to the life and death of Tibet, and he could not act cautiously.

Songtsen Gampo spread a detailed topographical map of Tibet on the ground, and once again calculated the upcoming battle in his mind to ensure that it was seamless and could annihilate all the Tang troops led by Du He in Tibet.

He pointed to the ambush place of Nanzhao Kingdom, and calculated in his heart: "The strength of the Tang army is limited, and the Nanzhao army that suffered from the disaster is a rare elite, and the number is several times that of the Tang army, there is no reason for failure...... Once the Tang army learned that the back road was cut off, it would definitely retreat. However, Du He is not an ordinary person, and he will definitely not retreat hastily. He is a Tang person, and he will not care about the life and death of the people of Tubo, and if he falls into that situation, he will rob the army of food and focus on the livelihood of the Tang army. Wait until you have enough food to grab it, and then you will calmly retreat. Only in this way will you not fall into a Jedi without food. This is a way of life in a dead end, and what we have to do is to block this little bit of life that is slightly exposed. ”

Songtsen Gampo was like a movie in his mind, replaying the next battle situation, feeling that everything was flawless, and his restless heart was also slightly comforted.

However, it was at this time that he got a piece of news.

The Tang army is coming, and more than 10,000 Tang troops have blocked the valley mouth and cut off their retreat......
