Chapter 0443 - Overwhelming
It's the New Year, but Ge Shuhan and Li Ang are not idle, and the two sides are constantly deploying troops, and it seems that they have to put each other to death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Ang's side gathered Guo Ziyi, Li Sheng, Hua Qiu, etc., plus the newly transferred generals such as Feng Changqing and Li Siye, and the number of troops under his command reached more than 10,000.
Obeying Ge Hanshu's dispatch were Li Yibi, Cao Yan, An Daoyuan, Feng Shoujie, Wang Rare and other generals, and the troops under his command were as many as more than 50,000 people.
After Ge Shuhan found out that he had fallen for Li Ang's golden cicada to get out of his shell, he began to move to Kuozhou, and the clouds of war were thick, and the whole Longyou was about to fall into a life-and-death civil war.
A piece of information was transmitted back to Tubo like snowflakes, and Tubo Zampu and Zhudan had basically completed the preparations for sending troops to Longyou, and he himself left Luozhi and came to Maduo City.
On the west side of Maduo City, it is the source of the Yellow River, and there are more than 4,000 lakes including Zhaling Lake and Ngoling Lake. Maduo City is in an important position leading to Luo, when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, Songtsen Gampo came to Maduo City to greet her.
This time, he mobilized an army of 200,000, known as 400,000 to the outside world, and the 150,000 army as the main force was in Maduo.
The other 50,000 partial divisions went southwest of Qinghai Lake, preparing to attack Fuqicheng, which was controlled by the Tang army, and then directly crossed the frozen Qinghai Lake and attacked Longyou from the west to echo the main force.
A few years ago, Ge Shuhan and Li Ang fought in the stone castle, the rolling stone and wood rumbling down were not fake, the scene of flesh and blood flying and corpses piling on each other could never be fake, and no general dared to take so many lives to act.
Therefore, Zhu Dan no longer has any doubts about the fact that Ge Shuhan and Li Ang have fallen out, and now it is just a matter of seeing when the best time to attack.
This time, Zhu Dan personally marched, and there were generals such as Ye Rongxiu, Dabuqin, and Bazadar, while Princess Zhuoma of the Subi Department took the initiative to give up her military power and asked to take care of the logistics and grain.
For Princess Zhuoma's request, Zhu Dan readily agreed, half of the grain and grass in Tibet came from the Subi Department, and Princess Zhuoma went to requisition logistics supplies, not to mention the high efficiency, there was another benefit, that is, he could better control the soldiers and horses of the Subi Department.
The Subi Department was originally respected by the queen, Princess Zhuoma led the army from more than ten years old, and the prestige of the Subi Department was far better than her brother's.
Now, as soon as Princess Zhuoma handed over the soldiers and horses, Zhu Dan replaced the senior generals of the Subi Department and replaced them with her own people in the name of adjusting the war deployment.
At this point, he finally believed that the king of Subi had no dissent, rewarded him with a lot of wealth, and asked him to follow him in front of the palace to give him advice.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xizuo came back to report that Ge Shuhan personally led an army of 30,000 and went to Kuozhou. Hearing the news, Zhu Dan couldn't help but say happily: "God really help me!" Ge Shuhan is going to Kuozhou to attack Li Ang, let's take the opportunity to capture the stone fort and recapture Dafeichuan! ”
General Ye Rongxiu said: "Zampu, the Han people have a saying that brothers are on the wall, and they are insulted outside. We are now going to attack the Stone Fort, and it will not be good if Goshuhan and Leon let go of their hatred for each other and reunite against our army. Now it is Li Ang's men who are guarding the stone fort, let's attack the stone fort, and Li Ang will definitely come to the rescue. Ge Shuhan is the envoy of Longyoujie, if he does not save him when he sees death, he will definitely be punished by the emperor of Tang afterwards, so he is also likely to come to the rescue, which contributed to the alliance between Li Ang and Ge Shuhan. So I don't think we can be in a hurry, we must wait for Ge Shuhan and Li Ang to fight to the death in Kuozhou, and then suddenly send troops. ”
Qi Dai Zhudan said: "Maduo is still far from the stone fort, our army must move forward in order to seize the most favorable opportunity, and we can't wait like this any longer, Li Ang and Ge Shuhan are enemies, it is impossible for the Tang court to sit idly by, now the news has probably been transmitted back to Chang'an, and when the Tang court reacts and quells the fight between Li Ang and Ge Shuhan, we will lose the opportunity." Now, Budaqin, you are the vanguard, leading 10,000 troops to attack Wuhai, and opening up the advance and road of the army first. ”
Seeing that the ruler was in a hurry and had made up his mind, he immediately said to his liking: "Zampu's concern is very reasonable, we can't wait any longer." However, General Ye Rongxiu's words also have a certain amount of truth, and it is necessary to prevent Li Ang and Ge Shuhan from uniting. ”
Zhu Dan looked at him and said, "Lang Meise, what do you mean by that?" ”
Lang Meise hurriedly replied: "Zampu, I mean, since we want to fight, we must give full play to the advantages of our cavalry, and we should take the stone fort directly, ignore Dafeichuan first, and wait to take the stone fort, while Li Ang and Ge Shuhan are still dog-eat-dog, attack Shanzhou with heavy troops, and directly take the center of the Tang army." Zampu, I'm sure that once we take Shibao and Shanzhou, the Tang army will definitely panic and all collapse. ”
In the war between Tubo and the Tang Army, the cavalry-based Tubo has always paid attention to a fast word, and Lang Meise's suggestion seems to be risky, but the focus is also on a fast word, before the Tang Army did not react, quickly capture the stone fort, and then attack Shanzhou with all its might. If successful, it will no longer be delusional to quickly seize the entire Longyou.
Seeing that the ruler took Zhu Dan to move, the king of Subi Wuling Zan, immediately followed and said: "Zampu, I think the big argument is very reasonable, now our army is attacking, the Tang army is defending, according to the normal situation, the Tang army must be defending against danger, our army fights all the way over, not only takes time, but also often has to give up the speed advantage of our cavalry, give up the speed advantage of the cavalry to attack the dangerous passes one by one, this is really not cost-effective, according to the method of the big theory, although it is also necessary to attack the dangerous pass like the stone fort, but as long as it can be taken by surprise, it can be at the lowest cost, Get the most out of it. Taking a step back, even if we can't quickly capture the stone fort, it will not be too late to switch to Dafeichuan, and it will not have much impact on our army. ”
According to the saying of Wu Lingzan, it is to attack and retreat, try to take the stone fort first, and if you can take it, you will attack Shanzhou with heavy troops, and if you can't take it, you will turn to attack Dafeichuan, which is very suitable for the meaning of Zhudan, he immediately ordered, the army poured out of the nest and killed the stone fort.
The 150,000 army, although most of them are not elite, but spread out for dozens of miles, the flag covers the sun, the people and horses are noisy, the momentum is magnificent, and the vast snowy field is full of people and horses, and the head is not seen.
Among them, the 10,000 forwards led by the general Budaqin rushed like a torrent and slaughtered towards Wuhai City.
Wuhai is a town on the ancient road of Tangbo, which was originally the jurisdiction of King Tuyuhun, located in the west of the Yellow River, and faces Dafeichuan across the Ola Mountains in the north. Taking Wuhai City is equivalent to taking the barrier of Ola Mountain, and in the past, you can pass through the east edge of the Dafeichuan grassland, go directly to Moliyi, and go north for sixty miles after Moliyi, which is the stone fort.
Therefore, it can be said that Wuhai is the gate of Dafeichuan, which is currently the southernmost city controlled by the Tang army, and is garrisoned by Li Sheng with 2,000 men.
Li Sheng fought with Li Ang, quite famous in Tibet, Budaqin also had a hard battle to take Wuhai, but he just attacked for half a day, as soon as the night was released, Li Sheng fled with the defenders in the city, leaving a complete city for Budaqin.
The first battle was successful, and Zhudan was very happy, and ordered the army to speed up and cross the Oro Mountain, and entered the eastern edge of Dafei Sichuan. The Tubo army is mighty and menacing, and the Tang army of Dafeichuan has changed their complexion when they hear it, and they have fled away, such a result makes the Tubo monarchs and ministers excited, no matter what, even if they can't take the stone fort, it is definitely not a problem to retrieve Dafeichuan, the Tang army is mainly soldiers and horses, and on a plain like Dafeichuan, it is definitely the world of Tubo cavalry.
Last year, the Tang Army, which won one after another, is now fleeing from the wind, and the change is unbelievable.
Of course, this also further confirms the infighting between Li Ang and Ge Shuhan, which has had a huge impact on the Tang army.
Wu Lun Guo persuaded the ruler to take Zhu Dan and said that the war was too smooth, be careful that the Tang army was cheating, and before he finished speaking, he was yelled back by the ruler with Zhu Dan: "Give us the entire Dafeichuan, is this fraud?" If Li Ang is cheating, I will ask him to make a few more times and let Long You out. ”
Wu Zheng Guo was speechless, and Lang Meise and others were flattering:
"Zampu is personally recruiting, how can the Tang army not be frightened!"
"Tubo will win, long live Zampu!"
“……..”
In the midst of praise, Zhu Dan ordered the army to kill the stone fort at full speed, striving to take down the Longyou Portal before the Tang army came to his senses.
Mo Lisheng did not have much Tang troops stationed in the first place, and at this time he had already fled, and Budaqin's forward roared by, without any obstacles, he wanted to take the stone fort in one go, and as soon as the army reached the stone castle city, he couldn't wait to launch an attack.
Here, Budachin encountered the stubborn resistance of the Tang army, and Budachin's 10,000-strong army stormed for a day, and was repulsed by the Tang army five times, with more than a thousand dead and wounded.
Budachin was very anxious, whether he could capture the stone fort or not would be related to the success or failure of the entire campaign, but the stone fort was easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Tang army on the mountain was determined, continuing to attack would only increase casualties.
After some consideration, Budachin decided to withdraw his troops temporarily, and in the evening, the sky began to snow heavily, and when the Tang army on the mountain thought that he would not attack the mountain at night after paying heavy casualties, he took the lead and launched a night attack in the middle of the night.
Under the cover of heavy snow and night, the Tibetan soldiers quietly touched the base of the stone fort, and the defenders on the mountain found out. Budachin brandished his saber and shouted: "Kill ........." (to be continued. )
