Chapter 367: Night Attack on the Tubo Camp

The wait is long, but the generals are still waiting, they know that tonight will be a big battle, life and death are unpredictable, and the Tibetan soldiers are not vegetarians, the dog is anxious and jumps off the wall, not to mention the wolf-like Tibetan elite.

The scout who went to the camp to report came, "King Wei, the defense of the front camp in Tubo is much looser than yesterday, but it is still tight. ”

Wu Chu waved his hand and said to Lou Shide: "On Qinling and Zanpo are famous generals in Tubo, when Tubo Zanpu just died, the new Zanpu crossbow can not get a small child, Emperor Gaozong thought that the time was ripe to attack Tubo, but was stopped by Pei Xingjian, because at that time the Qinling brothers of the Geer family held military and political power, and Tubo was the most powerful. It can be seen that the Qinling brothers are really capable ministers who are not born in the world. It's a pity, the crossbow wants to take power, but has to attack the Geer family, if the Qinling brothers are killed, so Tubo will not be worried, within ten years, this king will be able to destroy Tubo, permanently relieve the trouble of Tubo. Can you wait for the generals to have such ambitions? ”

Wu Zheng's words immediately made the generals deeply infected, and they swore to follow him to the death. For generals, isn't it just for the king to pacify the barbarians and expand the territory? Even if the horse leather shroud is returned, it is still longing for it.

Lou Shide's heart, which had long been old, seemed to have sprouted, and he looked at this prince who wanted to work hard, and he also felt a deep responsibility. Choosing a hard-working king may be more important than continuing the lifeline of Li Tang's country, from Li Hong to Li Dan, are not qualified monarch candidates, and now although Wu Zhou is a clean and clear ruler, but cool officials are rampant. Disasters are frequent, and the frontier is even more restless. It really takes a king who works hard to make the empire grow steadily and truly make the people happy. He originally wanted to recommend Di Renjie to the court as the prime minister. In this way, it is better to wait for a while to talk to Di Renjie. After all, Di Renjie really regarded himself as an old minister of Li Tang, and although he contributed to Wu Zhou, he always thought that the empress was just protecting the country for Li Tang.

"What His Royal Highness said is really exciting, if Lou can live a few more years, it would be great."

Since ancient times, ordinary people have rarely lived to seventy, so Lou Shide, who is more than sixty years old, will have such a sigh.

Wu Shu smiled: "Wait for this." This king will ask the Holy Lord, so that you can return to the center to enjoy some blessings, and do not suffer here. Also, Lou Gong, although the beauty is good, you also have to pay attention to your body. Then he laughed.

The men of Datang are indeed more enthusiastic in this regard. For example, the former master Li Ji is more than seventy years old, and he is still a double girl at night. As a result, he became seriously ill and has never been cured. Gaozong Li Zhi had a strong head wind, and after being pricked by Qin Minghe with a needle, he didn't listen to the advice, and was fortunate to be a new concubine, but he had a head wind attack and died with a whimper. Lou Shide is obese and still quite feminine. Now there are more than 60 people, and it is said that they can still control the three daughters at night. I really don't know how these old people can be so violent.

Lou Shide also laughed and said: "I have heard His Royal Highness say, 'Gentleman, chromophobia', since Lou Mou prides himself on being a gentleman, why not bow down and practice it?" ”

Men talk about women, and they always talk about it, and it's been so for a long time. This may be the topic of conversation between men, and in this way, the generals have also narrowed a lot of distance. And the openness of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to those rotten Confucianism, is also outspoken about the affairs of men and women, and discusses the majesty and majesty of men with women, and men will also discuss women together, of course, it will not involve specific women, but female crown Taoist priests will become a topic of discussion for men.

Today, there are not a few such women.

Talking about men and women like this also made the tense faces of the generals gradually ease, and the oppressive atmosphere before the battle also dissipated a lot. This is exactly what Wu Shu needs, too nervous, it is easy to make mistakes, even if there is a lot of strength, maybe you can only play seven points, if you can be in the tension and a little bit of adjustment, then the desire to win in the heart takes over, and the strength can play ninety. Of course, Wu Shui will not tell these people, this is the way of thinking in psychology.

As time passed, the night sky was covered by dark clouds, and the whole land was shrouded in endless darkness, which was a sign that it was going to rain, Wu Chu took a deep breath, calculated the time, Guo and Xue should have arrived.

Suddenly, a sturdy figure ran over, was blocked by the guards in front, and was immediately brought to Wu Zheng, only to see the man kneeling on one knee, clenching his fists and saying: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, scout Qi Liang reports to you that the camp of Tubo is on fire!" ”

Wu Chu waved his hand and laughed: "Generals, break the enemy tonight, go!" Then he raised his spear.

The generals clenched their fists, roared, and each led the army towards the Tubo camp twenty miles away, Wu Chu then followed, this time he decided to press the back, in order to calm the hearts of the generals, sometimes the main general can improve a lot of morale, but if the morale is enough, there is no need to get into danger, after all, night battles are unusual.

However, after a cup of tea, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to the Tubo camp half a mile away, and the scouts took the lead in solving the light and dark posts on the periphery, leaving only the soldiers on the sentry tower of the camp.

The Tibetan and Tang dynasties had a deep exchange, so the camp set up two sentry towers about two zhang high, on each of which was a Tibetan soldier holding a bow and arrow, constantly looking out from the inside.

Wu Chu waved his hand, and the scout Lang immediately dismounted Gao Sheji and the guard Kunlun Nu Cowherd, and then, along the official road, quickly approached the guard tower in the woods and grass, these two are marksmen, and their archery skills are very good, so tasks like this are completed by them.

Especially Gao She Chicken, he has always been equal to the Cowherd's archery skills, and the two also have the heart to compete, and now Gao She Chicken has made great contributions, and was named the Scout General, managing the entire scout team, which can be regarded as a special force of Wu Zheng. And although the Cowherd manages the Cowherd Guard, most of the Cowherd Guards have now joined the New Army, and some have gone to the Ryukyus, and he is only one of the captains of Wu Chu's personal guards.

Soon, the two of them took their respective positions, took their longbows, and drew their bows with arrows. There were two swishing sounds, and the two feather arrows instantly sank into the throats of the two Tibetan sentinels, and the accuracy of the arrow technique was so accurate that even Wu Chu also praised it.

Immediately, Wu Chuan shouted, "Kill!" ”

As soon as the Great Zhou soldiers shouted, they rushed into the Tubo camp. The Tibetan camp was not as complicated as the Great Zhou camp, so when the scouts moved away from the wood, the camp was opened. The Great Zhou soldiers lit torches and set fire everywhere, but after a while, the camp began to catch fire, and the sleeping Tubo soldiers were either burned to death or poked to death after being woken up. The former Tibetan camp began to fall into chaos.

On Qinling and Non Zanpo were both in the second camp, and when they heard the soldiers' report of the night attack of the Great Zhou, they were immediately frightened into a cold sweat. But thinking that he has a total of eight camps, as long as he holds the second camp, then what does it matter if he breaks the front camp, not to mention that it is impossible to bring many soldiers in a night attack.

On Qinling quickly put on his armor. Then the order was given. "Defend the camp, give up the front camp, tonight I want to see what tricks he can play!"

But in a moment, Ronzanpo came to the camp tent and said eagerly: "Second brother, let's go, the front and rear camps have been breached, and we have lost!" ”

"What?" On the helmet that Qin Ling just worn. His face suddenly changed color.

Thinking that Lun Qinling had not heard clearly, he said, "Run away." Now that the front and rear camps have been breached, it will be too late if you don't leave. ”

On the face of Qinling, the face is like earth, and when the tent curtain is opened, you can see that the front camp and the rear camp are on fire, and the fire in the rear camp is even greater, how did the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty get to the back camp? Thinking of this, on Qinling sighed, covered his chest, a mouthful of blood arrows spurted out, fell to the ground, and Ron Zanpo was shocked, and hurriedly ordered people to lift up and kill Qinling.

However, the tea kung fu, the Great Zhou soldiers broke through the first camp, but there was no figure of Tubo on Qinling and Zanpo, only a captain of ten thousand people, died under the arrow of the cowherd, the army immediately attacked the second camp, the Tubo soldiers did not organize a strong resistance at all, except for the sporadic low-grade, the Tubo soldiers were like ants on a hot pot scurrying around, trying to avoid the slaughter of the Great Zhou soldiers.

Wu Chu led the Chinese army to slowly press up, and when he arrived at the Chinese army's big tent, he only saw scattered objects, and did not talk about Qinling and Zanpo. But Wu Chuan found a letter, a letter he had written to the Qin Ling, which was the same letter yesterday for peace.

In this way, then on Qinling must have left in a hurry, so he ordered: "Wu Hei, lead the personal guards to pursue me against Non Qinling and Ronzanpo, whether dead or alive!" ”

Wu Hei hesitated, but decided to carry out the order, and immediately left ten guards, and then took more than four hundred guards into the depths of the camp.

The Tubo camp, from the front and back to the middle, is in a sea of fire, if it is not for their own safety, the Great Zhou soldiers want to set it all on fire, but even so, there are still soldiers who are unfortunately burned to death.

In the back camp, Guo Zhiyun and Xue Ne were like a pair of scissors, and the place they passed was almost the place where the Tibetan soldiers bled out, and the two of them were fighting more and more fiercely, their purpose was to break through all the camps as much as possible, so that the Tubo soldiers were in a panic, and as soon as the front battalion army arrived, they could be cut off.

The effect was obvious, when the two armies converged at the third camp, the Tibetans could no longer organize a decent defense, and Wu Chu ordered, "Those who surrender will not die!" ”

So, when the first Tibetan soldier raised his hand to surrender, there was a second, and a third, until the Tibetan soldier who could be seen surrendered, and the night battle continued until dawn. When the tired soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty carried nearly 30,000 captives into Shanzhou City, many soldiers fell on the side of the road.

Wu Chu was also very tired, and it would take a while to know the battle damage, so after handing over everything to the governor Murong Hei, he lay on the low couch.

At this time, a lightning bolt struck in the gloomy sky, and a thunderclap exploded above Shanzhou City, and a drop of rain fell on Murong Si's face, he smiled bitterly, until today, this is the first rain in Shanzhou City, I hope this rain will fall more to relieve the drought.

It wasn't until it was dark and when the rain stopped that Wu Chuan woke up, took a breath of fresh air, and ordered his soldiers to boil hot water, take a hot bath, and feel refreshed.

At this time, Lou Shide and other generals asked to see him, and Wu Chu had to meet the generals first with a hungry stomach.

In the fierce battle on the night of Great Monday, nearly 1,000 elites were lost, 500 were lightly and seriously wounded, more than 8,000 were beheaded, and more than 31,000 were captured, including 10,000 Tibetan slaves, more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses, plus weapons and tents and other strategic materials. But on Qinling and Ronzanpo escaped, and Wu Hei and the others did not find them.

After hearing the news, Wu Zong ordered Murong Si to write a good report to the imperial court, Lou Shide to write a report on the battle situation, and Wu Zong only wrote a meritorious performance for meritorious soldiers. (To be continued......)
