Chapter 43: The Turtle in the Urn (Third Update, Asking for Votes)
Jiaochuan Road!
Du He sat on the ground and breathed for a while, recovering some of the internal breath that had been lost by the successive battles, and got the news that the Tibetan army was coming.
The soldiers who had rested for a while also tied up their armor, bit the branches that prevented the sound in their mouths, and entered the predetermined ambush site one after another to hide.
There was still half an hour before Songtsen Gampo arrived, and the net had already been opened, just waiting for the prey to come in by itself.
Around noon, dust rose from the trees to the southeast.
A wave of excitement and excitement welled up in Du He's heart: Songtsen Gampo has finally taken the bait!
Along the way, Du He played psychological tactics, and through his familiarity with the terrain, he constantly lured the Tibetan army to the bait.
He specially widened the distance between him and the Tibetan army in three dangerous places that were convenient for hiding the troops, which gave Songtsen Gampo the illusion that stopping and searching was just a waste of time, but was constantly widening the distance, which would lead them to lose the Tang army.
Facing the Tang army, which was about to disappear, Songtsen Gampo and their people naturally would not waste any more time stopping and searching for this valley that was not dangerous.
But I didn't know that this was the clever plan planned by Du He and Li Ji.
Seeing the Tubo army gradually appearing in front of him, Du He's blood veins were already boiling, and the blood rushed to his cheeks and the top of his head, and his heart touched, touched, touched...... It was as if it was about to pop out of the cavity.
The leaves swayed in the breeze and made a "rustling" sound, and the Tibetan army marched rapidly, not caring whether there were ambushes on the left and right.
The vanguard of Tubo has entered the ambush circle, Du He looked at Tubo who was lured into the urn step by step, and the anxiety in his heart was difficult to describe with pen and ink: he only felt that time was too slow.
glanced left and right, and saw that Luo Tong, Fang Yiai and others were the same as him, and one by one they also showed a nervous feeling.
At this decisive moment, no one can avoid such a feeling.
With the strong sunlight shining through the cracks in the treetops, and listening to the chirping of birds in the thick green shade, who would have thought that in a few moments, such a peaceful and beautiful forest would be transformed into a battlefield of flesh and blood?
Suddenly, a figure under the hillside attracted all his attention: it was a special general of the enemy formation opposite, about twenty years old, wearing fish scale armor, the armor system was very ancient, and the armor plates on the front and back of the armor were actually made of gold plates. His waist was as straight as a javelin, and the heavy gold armor still couldn't hide his strong body and majestic spirit.
Although it is not certain that he is Songtsen Gampo, it is certain that this person must be one of the enemy chieftains, a heavyweight in the army.
The Tubo army finally completely burrowed into the pocket of the Tang army, and Du He had already grasped the hilt of the Panlong sword, just waiting for Li Ji to take the lead in attacking.
As the minutes passed, suddenly the horns and war drums sounded violently in the depths of the mountain road in the west, and countless flags poured out...... Li Ji finally moved!
His move immediately brought about a chain reaction, and the Tang troops buried on the mountains on the left and right came out like bamboo shoots after the rain, and nearly 80,000 Tang troops rushed out of the ambush circle in turn: their shouts gathered in one place, and the shouts poured to the foot of the mountain like a tide, and their morale was boiling to the extreme.
Nearly 100,000 Tang troops echoed in unison, rumbling through the four fields, and the sky and the earth changed color.
Countless birds in the woods were frightened by the noise and flapped their wings into the sky. For a while, people shouted and the horses were neighing, the dust was flying, and the tranquility and serenity of the right people were gone, and they had been completely replaced by chaos and noise.
"Bang bang!"
The Tang army, which had long been ready, threw cans of fire oil and bundles of flammable thatched dry firewood down the mountain, rockets were fired, and the fire rose to the sky with the screams of the Tibetan soldiers.
The Tang army stood at both ends of the hillside, throwing arrows, rolling stones, sassal wood and other weapons downward, and for a while, the dust was all over the sky, and the roar was deafening, and the sound was terrifying.
The Tubo army obviously did not expect the Tang army to ambush here, and they were all caught off guard and made a mess.
Du He also appeared from concealment, and laughed loudly when he saw this: "Tubo thieves, if the master doesn't defeat you this time, my Du He's name will be written backwards in the future!" "His voice is not loud, but his internal strength is good, and in this noisy battlefield, it can reach the ears of the Tubo soldiers below.
The fire gradually extinguished, Du He's long sword pointed at the distance, and rushed down the mountain first.
Their own army has come thousands of miles, and there is not enough time to rest, it is a tired journey, and now the morale is like a rainbow, if the time is delayed, it will only weaken the momentum, so take advantage of the enemy's unstable and chaotic position at this time, wave the army to attack, which is deeply in line with the way of using troops.
Li Ji also understood this after a hundred battles, and at the same time, he also conveyed the drumbeat of the attack.
The soldiers leaped out of the grass, in the hollows of the trees, and in the shadows to the sound of drums. Before the distraught Tubo soldiers could stop and assume a defensive posture, they had already fallen with blood splashed.
Stubborn and unthinkable, Niu Jinda, Liu Lan, Li Yexu, Li Jiye and other generals, one by one, rushed down from the mountain like a fierce tiger, and tens of thousands of people roared in unison, roaring and shaking the sky, and the entire battlefield was miserable.
Ten groups of 3,000 men each made an organized charge towards the enemy down the hillside. As long as the Tibetan soldiers are cut into several pieces between this wide mountain pass, so that they cannot take care of each other, even if the terrain here is not dangerous, they can still be besieged and annihilated.
Shouting, roaring, screaming, and screaming one after another under the woods, the sound of the blades clashing was mixed with the muffled sound of flesh and bone splitting, and blood stained the grass in the woods.
Du He swooped down, took the Coiling Dragon Sword in his mouth, grabbed an arrow from the cloth bag around his waist with both hands, and shot out one by one with both hands.
The Tang army generals, who had long known that Du He had this stunt, couldn't help but be convinced when they saw this magic skill again at this moment.
The hidden weapon blessed by internal force is only stronger than the bow and arrow, and the crosshairs are needless to say, and the arrows are like having eyes, and they are shooting at the vital points of the human body. After shooting down more than a dozen people in a row, he held the dragon sword in his hand and his body soared into the air, dancing the iron-blooded twelve styles to slash and slash against the heat wave of the sea of people, waving the long sword, the sword light was shining, opening and closing, and it was unstoppable.
A Tibetan commander slaughtered his own soldiers in this way, and he was filled with righteous indignation, and rushed over with a mace.
Du He smiled coldly, performed light skills, and jumped forward, and the distance between three zhang was in the blink of an eye. His long sword slashed from top to bottom, and the sword cut through his armor, cut his chest, and splattered blood with a "poof".
The Tibetan Commander stared in disbelief, still holding his mace, and fell backwards.
Even if he died, he still didn't know how he died, and the other party was obviously three feet away from him. Why did he approach him in the blink of an eye, and gave him a sword when he was unsuspected.
Isn't it that this Tang man can shrink the earth demon method!
If someone else dies, he will never know.
The battle continues, but the outcome is already decided the moment Songtsen Gampo steps into the trap!
ps: It seems to be forced, grateful, without your support, the second generation would not have achieved such results. During the strong push period, there are still three more, and the list is rushed at night, everyone support it, thank you!
