0445 Cautious Enemy

The Tang army was 25,000 and the Tibetan soldiers and horses were 20,000, and it was not easy to defeat the other side when the numerical superiority was not obvious, and it was even more difficult to completely annihilate the enemy army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now the biggest advantage of the Tang army is that the enemy still can't figure out how many men and horses they have come and who is the main general.

But this may not be hidden for long, after dawn, it will not be easy to hide, and the number of your own troops will likely be detected by the enemy. At that time, Zama Chili will become more cautious, and it will be even more difficult to annihilate his army of 20,000.

Time was short, Li Ang could only use Feng Changqing's strategy, on the one hand, ordered Li Cheng 5,000 men and horses to abandon the fortifications on the opposite bank and retreat to Da Momen City, this action was carried out with great fanfare, in order to attract the attention of the enemy army, if it could lead the enemy army to chase after it, it would be better.

On the other hand, he ordered Feng Changqing to lead an army of 10,000 to make a detour to Hongliutan and advance behind enemy lines overnight, usually in the rear in the direction where an army's reconnaissance and vigilance were weakest, so as to facilitate concealment.

At the same time, Leon also ordered the prince of Tuyuhun, Kachin, to send someone to see Zama Chili and pretend to surrender.

Zama Chili was surprised at first by the envoy sent by Kachin, but when he thought about it, it was reasonable that a tribe like Tuyuhun was like a grass on the wall, and it was very common for him to fall in whichever way the wind was strong.

At the beginning, Tubo was defeated one after another, and Tuyuhun saw that Tubo had even lost the stone fort, so he immediately betrayed Tubo and fell to the Tang Dynasty; Now the Tang army in Longyou is busy with infighting, Tubo Zampu is in person, the momentum is like a bamboo, and the stone fort is recaptured in one fell swoop, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Shanzhou.

Zama Chili stared at Kachin's envoy and sneered: "When Tuyuhun betrayed Tubo, we lost the land of the Yellow River's nine curves, and Kachin should be killed. Now that the situation has reversed, you want to come back and wag your tail and beg for mercy, it's so easy. ”

The envoy Alu replied with a bitter face: "General Zama Chili, we Tuyuhun are also forced to be helpless, in the past hundred years, which time did the Tang army attack, not our Tuyuhun at the forefront?" Zanpu's kindness to Tuyuhun, we naturally won't forget, but we also have to survive! Last time, our prince was bewitched by the villain and did something sorry for Zampu, and now Prince Kachin is willing to atone for his sins in order to make up for his mistakes, and I hope that General Zama Chili will give our prince a chance to make amends. ”

"Atonement? If Kachin is really sincere, why don't he come to see the general, hum! ”

"Zama Chili doesn't know about General Zamachi, it's not that our prince doesn't want to come, it's that he can't come, our prince is under house arrest, and the army of 10,000 is commanded by a Tang general named Guo Ziyi, and the Tang army will look at our prince like a prisoner."

Zama Chili continued to sneer: "Since this is the case, then how can Kacin atone for his sins? ”

Alu replied: "Back to General Zama Chili, due to the hasty dispatch of troops, our 10,000 army has not been dismantled, as long as our prince stands up at the right time, he can immediately regain command and cooperate with General Zama Chili to annihilate the Tang army on the other side." ”

"How many men and horses are there in the Tang army on the other side, and who is the main general?"

"Back to General Zama Yili's words, the commander of the Tang Army on the other side is called Guo Ziyi, I heard that it is Li Ang who has just transferred from Shuofang to general, and now Li Ang and General Bazadar's men and horses are fighting in Kuozhou, so he sent this Guo Ziyi to transfer our Tuyuhun men and horses to reinforce Li Sheng, and now together with Li Sheng's retreating men, the Tang army is only 6,000 people, this is a rare opportunity, as long as General Zama Chili agrees, our prince is willing to attack the Tang army first, and when we defeat the Tang army, General Zama Chili will bring his men and horses over to chase and kill together."

"Just a few words from you make me believe you? What a joke. ”

Although Ah Lu's words made Zama Chili very moved, he would not be stupid enough to believe the Tuyuhun people like this, after all, Tuyuhun had just betrayed Tubo.

"General Zama Chili, please believe me, Ge Shuhan and Li Ang have given up the internal strife, and soon the Tang army will come to reinforce us, if we wait for Guo Ziyi to break up our 10,000 horses, we will never have such a good opportunity again. If General Zama Chili is still not at ease, just wait for us to attack first, and when we defeat the Tang army on the other bank, you can cross the river again. ”

Zama Chili thought about it, and felt that it didn't hurt him. If Tuyuhun can be allowed to defect, for Tubo, it will be tantamount to a tiger with wings, at least it will no longer be difficult for him to quickly recapture the land of the Yellow River Jiuqu.

On the contrary, if Tuyuhun is determined to follow the Tang army, it is very likely that he will recapture the land of the Yellow River Jiuqu, and in the past two days, Li Sheng's 5,000 men and horses alone have made it difficult for him to enter, not to mention that the Tang army will have follow-up reinforcements, just Tuyuhun's 10,000 horses and horses will join, it is enough for him to drink a pot.

On the other side, with the great merit of regaining the land of the Yellow River's nine curves, Zamachi was unable to suppress his heart and said to Ah Lu: "If you princes really want to get Zampu's understanding, you must first take action to prove it. ”

Ah Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you General Zama Chili, the little one will bring the words back to our prince, let the prince act immediately, and General Zama Chili will wait for our good news." ”

Less than an hour after Ah Lu left, there was chaos on the side of the Great Momen City, there was a shout in the night, the flames were everywhere, Zama Chili, who received the report, personally went up the mountain to inspect, and as far as the eye could see, the Great Momen City on the other side of the river was almost completely shrouded in firelight.

"Report! General Zama Chili, the Tang army was defeated, and the Tuyuhun people were pursuing. ”

"Probe!"

Zama Chili was not moved at all, but his generals couldn't sit still, and asked Zama Chili for battle: "General, shouldn't we chase after us?" ”

Zama Chili said calmly: "The night is vast, you can't see it really, don't worry." ”

"But general, now that the Tang army has been defeated, it is the best time for us to pursue."

"You remember for me, it's better to be careful when fighting with the Tang Army, this night is vast, if you fall into someone else's ambush, the consequences will be unimaginable. Besides, isn't there a Kachin in pursuit? Kachin had an army of 10,000 men, and he had enough to chase. Now everyone be on guard and wait until dawn. ”

Zama Chili's caution exceeded Li Ang's expectations, and the 20,000 Tibetan army did not have the night left to chase after them, and Li Ang and they could only continue to play the trick.

The Tang army "broke and fled" for thirty miles in one night, and the reports received by Zama Chili were all the defeated Tang troops pursued and killed by the Tuyuhun people, and the entire Da Momen City was burned, until dawn, the fire in the city was still burning, and the black smoke shrouded the four fields, and the shadow of the Tang army could no longer be seen inside and outside the city.

Faced with such a scene, Zama Chili did not hesitate any longer, and ordered an army of 20,000 to cross the river and chase after him.......... (to be continued. )
