Chapter Seventy-Four: The Attack Begins

Constantly receiving news from the rapid advance of the various departments, every news is exciting, the Tubo people have not encountered, and there is no movement in the Tubo camp, which makes Yang Xi feel a little unreal while being excited.

Now the men and horses he personally led are only seventy or eighty miles away from the Tubo base camp in Dafeichuan, and they can reach the base camp of the Tubo people in Dafeichuan in the middle of the night after rushing overnight, and the distance between the various departments is closer. The fact that the Tibetans have not yet reacted at such a distance can only mean that the Tibetans have not found any trace of our army, and they are negligent in their defense. Several units of our army have already arrived, and it is time to reap the fruits of the battle.

Just when Yang Xi's heart was full of excitement, a sudden news suddenly made him nervous.

"Marshal, emergency report!"

A member of the special operations team dressed in a snow-white robe and riding a white war horse, accompanied by a pioneer general under the marshal's tent, quickly ran in the direction where Yang Xi was standing.

After confirming their identities, the guards around Yang Xi immediately made way for them.

The member of the special task force rushed to Yang Xi before stopping, handed over a map of the latest distribution of troops in the Tubo camp to Yang Xi's personal guards, and then sneaked a small group of them to the Tubo military camp and reported the situation to Yang Xi in detail.

"Marshal, there is an abnormality in the Tubo camp, they have sent a large number of scouts and scouts to inquire about the situation, the Tubo army is gathering, and it is likely that they have noticed the movement of our army! According to the confessions of the Tubo people we captured, the 50,000 horses and Tubo plan to go out early tomorrow morning, and it is likely to meet our army!"

This member of the special operations team is one of the most effective lieutenants under Li Han's command, and his special operations ability is amazingly good; this time, he led 10 of his men to sneak into the Tubo camp under the cover of night the night before, and to reconnoiter the distribution of troops in the Tubo camp at noon today. They noticed that there was an abnormality in the Tibetan camp, and knew that the situation had changed, so they captured a middle-ranking Tibetan officer in a hurry, and after some torture, they obtained a confession, knowing that the Tibetan army had an urgent action. Fearing that his whereabouts would be exposed, our scouts sneaked out of the camp after killing the Tubo officer, and used the cover of snow to gallop back and report the military situation to Yang Xi. White robes and white horses are the best cover in the snow, even if a few riders are galloping in the snow. It's hard to spot even if it's far away.

"Ben Shuai knows, go down!"

"Yes, Marshal!" The Einsatzgruppen gave a military salute, immediately turned the horse's head, and disappeared into the snow!

After listening to the latest emergency report by this special task force member, Yang Xi frowned and pondered. There was an abnormality in the Tubo camp, but only more scouts and scouts were sent out to investigate the situation, and the adjustment of the force was not obvious, and the 50,000 horses and horses would be stationed tomorrow morning. Can it be said that the Tubo people did not notice the approach of our army, but only felt the abnormality, so they made such a deployment?

That's how it should be.

During this time, our strikers and the Einsatzgruppen hunted down a large number of Tibetan scouts. A large number of scouts did not return to the camp, which would definitely make the Tibetans feel abnormal, but they had no way to judge where our army had arrived, so they did not make targeted defenses.

Thought of this. Yang Xi's originally frowning brows stretched, and he immediately ordered the herald sergeant next to him to come to his side.

"Passing on the commander's order, he ordered the general department of Hun Xuan, General Wang Sili, General Fugu Huaien, and General Gao Shi to speed up the march. Strive to launch an attack on the Tibetans in the middle of the night, and tell them that although the Tibetans have strengthened their vigilance, they have not discovered the whereabouts of our army. ”

"Order the marshal's subordinates to subordinate the generals of the headquarters, General Gao Fucheng, and General Liu Guangting, and each department will move forward for another thirty miles, rest immediately, and set off after resting for an hour, ready to follow the troops to attack the Tubo camp!"

"General Pang Zhong and General Li Baoyu, who are behind the herald, to speed up and keep up, let them quickly insert in the northwest direction, and be sure to intercept the retreat of the Tubo people fleeing in the northwest direction, and stop the escape of the Tubo people at all costs!"

Yang Xi now personally led about 50,000 men and horses led by generals such as Hun Shizhi and Liu Guangting, Gao Shi led 20,000 horses and horses have left his headquarters and chased after the forward Hun Xuan, and more than 30,000 people from Pang Zhong and Li Baoyu followed the men and horses of the headquarters, and the distance was about 100 miles. Yang Xi's current order was to speed up the march of the Hun Ministry, Gao Shi, Fugu Huaien, and Wang Sili troops, and launch an attack on the Tubo people as soon as possible, so that Pang Zhong and Li Baoyu, who were following behind, would turn northwest and intercept the defeated Tubo.

Since more than 100,000 troops broke into the hinterland of Qinghai, the Tubo people did not discover the whereabouts of our army, but Yang Xi was even bolder, and he wanted to eat all the nearly 200,000 horses led by Shang Jiexi in one go, and solve the Qinghai problem as soon as possible.

"Yes, Marshal!" The sergeant who gave the order shouted and ran away as fast as he could—

"General, the marshal's latest order!" A sergeant who gave the order quickly ran to the muddy tent and reported loudly.

was resting, and after hearing the shout, he had just fallen asleep for a while, and immediately jumped up.

Several of the guards immediately came to the tent with the sergeant who had given the order.

"The marshal ordered your troops to speed up their march and launch an attack on the Tibetan camp at midnight. After the attack begins, it is necessary to attack the camp of the Tubo people at any cost, and the commander will lead the army to fully support it! As soon as the attack begins, send someone to report it to the marshal!" The sergeant who gave the order conveyed Yang Xi's order to Hun Mu in short words.

After listening to Yang Xi's latest order conveyed by the sergeant, the sleepiness immediately disappeared, and he immediately shouted: "General Chuanben ordered, the whole army set up camp and prepare to attack the Tubo people!"

Yang Xi ordered to attack the Tubo people at midnight, and now it is not long before the ion night, and their current camp is still thirty miles away from the Tubo camp, and now they can start camping, just enough to launch an attack on the Tubo camp at midnight.

"Yes, General!" After the sergeant beside him agreed loudly, he immediately went to relay his order.

Soon, the sound of people shouting and neighing horses sounded in the originally quiet temporary camp, and the sergeants who had just fallen asleep for a while were all woken up, and everyone was busy putting on their armor, and those who moved quickly had already stepped on their horses and began to assemble.

At about the same time that the Hun Ministry received Yang Xi's order, Wang Sili's Ministry and Fugu Huai'en Department in different directions also received the latest order from Yang Xi. The original attack time was the dark period before dawn, but due to the abnormal movement in the Tubo camp, the attack time was advanced, which also caused the rest time of the soldiers to be shortened a lot, but none of the generals complained about it.

The time to make military achievements is coming soon, and everyone is full of excitement. After receiving the order, Gu Huaien and Wang Sili repeatedly ordered their subordinates to speed up their march and strive to be the first to rush to the camp of the Tubo people, so as not to be robbed of the first merit.

After putting on the horse, Hun Mu couldn't help but shiver.

The temperature on the Qinghai Plateau during the day is much higher than at night, and the temperature must be much below freezing now. But he had a smile on his face.

After more than ten days of arduous travel, he has not yet reaped military merits, but the battle is about to start, and the next time is for him, the marshal's former vanguard general, to make good military merits.

"All the troops are out!" Regardless of whether his men were all ready, Hun Mu gave the order to continue marching.

After the order was given, he led his guards and rushed to the south.

In the middle of the night, a bright moon hung obliquely in the sky, and the snow-covered plateau appeared bright. The plateau is very wide, and under the light of the moon and snow, you don't need to light a torch to see your surroundings. If you stand on the high mountains in the distance, you may see the flat Dafeichuan grassland, and a large group of cavalry troops are advancing by taking advantage of the moonlight.

The temperature was already very low, the snow had frozen in, and the horses would creak when they stepped on it. However, the frozen snow warhorse will not sink into it, and can still maintain enough speed to move. The horses' hooves were covered with horseshoes, and strips of cloth were wrapped, and the movement of the horses was rarely affected.

After starting the camp, he marched for more than half an hour, and Hun received a report that he was less than five miles away from the Tibetan camp.

Along the way, they encountered the Tibetan scouts, and most of the Tubo scouts were wiped out, but there were still a few leaky fish. However, these fish that slipped through the net no longer had the energy to take care of it, and what he had to do now was to attack the Tibetan camp a few miles away as quickly as possible. There are only a few thousand men in his army, and only by launching a surprise attack can he achieve results, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

Several small detachments of the members of the special task force had infiltrated the Tibetan camp, and when our army began to attack, they set fire to the Tibetan camp and threw grenade explosives packs, and joined forces with the friendly forces who plundered the camp, and did their best to approve of the chaos of the Tibetans.

Although several Tibetan rangers were hunted, there was still no movement in the Tibetan camp.

Overjoyed, the swift horse rushed to a hillside and stood still, looking at the Tibetan military camp in the distance with a telescope.

In the camp where tens of thousands of Tibetans were stationed, there was a faint fire, but there was no abnormal movement. The distance is not far away, and even in the telescope, you can see the Tibetan rangers moving slowly under the reflection of torches.

Got that they had already approached the Tubo camp, and the leading generals under Hun Mian led their own men and horses, and they had already spread out on the ground in a few miles of stragglers, and only after Hun Mu's order was given, they began to attack!

"Command the ministries to start attacking!" The order was given very forcefully!

With the silent order, several rocket-like objects made of gunpowder ignited and exploded into the air.

This is a signal of an attack.

Just as the signal to attack was being released, rockets took off in the distance, exploding beautiful fireworks in the sky.

Soon the sound of the horses galloping also sounded, and the sound became louder and louder, in all directions, and the earth trembled slightly...... (To be continued......)
