Chapter 66: The Will of a Soldier

At this moment, it is appropriate to describe Murong Fuyun as a lost dog. Search for novels

Murong Fuyun never expected that the Tang army would fight so decisively, so simply, and there was no room for anything. At the beginning, Murong Fuyun was very open to the envoys sent by Goguryeo, and felt that it was very reasonable, and this method should be used to deal with the Tang Dynasty, and this method can only be used.

This is the law of thousands of years, and there is no doubt about the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty. But in the face of their mobility, even those who are as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will be anxious about it. Mobility is the nature of nomads, they come and go as they want, and there is no trace of regularity, so they cannot be guarded against. In response to this, the practices of the previous dynasties are different, the Han and Tang dynasties are pro-family, the Song Dynasty is the year coin, and the Ming Dynasty should be a little tougher, but there is no good solution: a lot of money and materials are invested in border construction, expanding the strength of border soldiers, in order to prevent foreign enemies, but the effect is not so significant, how to do or what.

It is not that the Central Plains is inferior to the foreign races, but that the farming peoples are indeed much inferior to the nomads in terms of riding and archery mobility, which is the weakness of the entire nation and is difficult to change.

Murong Fuyun didn't take Datang in his eyes, not because he was arrogant that Tuyuhun could fight with Datang and had the strength to defeat Datang, but because he felt that he couldn't beat and run, and Datang couldn't help him.

Since Goguryeo had the intention of dragging down the Tang Dynasty, Murong Fuyun didn't mind helping from the side. After all, when they can really take advantage of the Central Plains Dynasty through plunder, the only time is when the Central Plains is completely plunged into strife and turmoil. Other times, that is, take advantage of a little bit. It's just a little sweetness.

It was also with this intention that Murong Fuyun directly declared war on the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, he had the intention of dragging down Datang, and on the other hand, he threatened Datang to force Datang to make concessions. Give up the development of the Hexi Corridor.

Murong Fuyun's thoughts are very beautiful, but they are also very naΓ―ve. If he had met an ordinary king, he might have succeeded. It's a pity that he met Li Shimin, a great king on a par with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, with extraordinary strategic ambitions and ambitions.

In response to Chen Tang's sentence, "Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!" "The dignified Tang Dynasty is known as the Chinese Celestial Empire, how can a small country be allowed to provoke? Moreover, the eastern border of Tuyuhun connects Longyou, and the land is close to the west of Beijing. The location is important, Tuyuhun sent troops to threaten Tang Kuo and Lanzhou, and it cut off the connection between Datang and the Western Regions, and the Silk Road was not smooth, which not only slapped Datang, but also cut off Datang's financial route!

The emperor was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed!

Li Shimin himself is a heroic emperor, and he is by no means the kind of hereditary emperor who sits back and enjoys his success and does not understand military strategy, given that the eastern border of Tuyuhun connects Longyou. It is close to the west of Beijing and has an important location; If the battle is not complete, it is better not to fight, so this time Li Shimin's determination is definitely not something that Murong Fuyun can understand.

This also caused the tragedy that Tuyuhun faced.

Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, once again relied on his outstanding military talent. developed a rush war, giving Murong Fuyun a strong head-on blow.

Murong Fuyun couldn't resist it, in order to prevent the Tang army from pursuing. Burn all the weeds and light troops into the moraine. Flee into the wilderness for safety. He originally thought that the Tang Army was alone. Once there is no horse grass, the logistics are far away, and there is only retreat. But he completely underestimated Li Shimin, Li Jing, and Hou Junji's determination.

The harsh environment could not change the decision of the Tang army, Li Jing divided his troops into two ways to pursue, personally led Li Daliang, Xue Wanjun and other troops from the north road to cut off their retreat to Qilian Mountain, and detoured to Fuqi City; Hou Junji, Zhi Lost Sili and other troops pursued the Tuyuhun army that fled south from the south road.

Li Jing led a roundabout attack army, under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty military god, first defeated the Tuyuhun army in Mantou Mountain, beheaded its leader, captured a large number of livestock, solved the food and clothing crisis, and then defeated the Tuyuhun army in Niuxindui non-stop, and then rushed to Chishuiyuan to win again, capturing dozens of famous kings, cutting off Murong Fuyun's way first, and becoming a big mountain that Tuyuhun could not cross when he fled into the south of the moraine.

"The chief manager still has no news of Murong Fuyun!"

"The chief manager still has no news of Murong Fuyun!"

"The chief manager still has no news of Murong Fuyun!"

……

One day, two days, three days, four days...... and even half a moon......

Li Jingguang sent scouts, but did not get any trace of the remnants of Tuyuhun.

For this reason, some senior generals in the army could not sit still, and they discussed one after another whether they were in the wrong direction and the wrong goal.

The anxious Xue Wanche found Li Jing, "Boss, it's not a way for us to wait like this." There is a shortage of food and herbs, and it is not good for us to consume them. If Murong Fuyun had already escaped, wouldn't we wait in vain? ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Impossible, Murong Fuyun has no reason to be faster than us." "A simple word, but full of strong self-confidence.

Xue Wanche hurriedly said: "But Murong Fuyun can't hide, so what should I do?" We can't afford it......"

Li Jing smiled lightly: "Didn't General Xue forget General Hou?" ”

Xue Wanche opened his mouth and was speechless. When he decided to pursue Tuyuhun, Li Jing decided to pursue his troops in two ways: one was led by him personally, and Murong Fuyun retreated in a roundabout way, and the other was led by Hou Junji, and pursued along the route of Murong Fuyun's escape. The place where Murong Fuyun escaped was called Poluo Zhen Valley, which was a famous place of death in Tuyuhun. Because the valley is extremely bad, more than 2,000 miles away, there is not a single green plant, and there is no water source, only a few snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Murong Fuyun dared to flee into Po Luo Zhen Gu because of their familiarity with Po Luo Zhen Valley, and Hou Junji received this order with fearless courage and determination......

Since Hou Junji entered the Poluo True Valley, the news has completely dissipated, and according to the calculation of time, it has been nearly four months......

In the face of such a situation, the whole army is not optimistic about the situation of Hou Junji's department, but it is difficult to say and cannot be said.

Faced with Li Jing's rhetorical question, Xue Wanche really didn't know how to answer.

Li Jing got up and said, "I know what you think, they all think that General Hou is more than lucky. But I can tell you for sure that with General Hou's ability, under the same circumstances, there is no one who can defeat him in this world, and he is not a person who can be defeated by the environment and climate. I'm sure of that......" he said, thinking of the man who had first made him fall in love with his talents, intending to pass on what he had learned. It's a pity that the improper character makes him can't help but keep his hand, so as not to spend his own effort to teach an apprentice who is rebellious.

**********

Po Ra Zhen Valley.

Murong Fuyun, the king of Tuyuhun, hung his helmet on the saddle and let his dark curly hair fall loosely over his shoulders. He looked up at the sky, where the clouds were gathering so fast that even the bravest birds did not dare to appear in the land of death.

This king of Tuyuhun was tall, muscular, and majestic like a fierce lion. The facial features on an angular face are matched just right, exuding the rough and bold charm of a prairie man. It's just that his brows are tightly knit and his face is a little gloomy.

He really couldn't understand why Li Jing appeared in front of him, the Tang army led by Li Jing was like a heavenly soldier, under his command, constantly winning and appearing in his death hole, forcing him to break Luo Zhen Valley, not daring to move.

He knew that as soon as he broke out of the Luo Zhen Valley, his army would enter the eyes of the Tang army, and then become a lamb in the mouth of the evil wolf......

Li Jing's use of troops was too terrible, his military level was beyond his understanding, and every blow could accurately hit his death hole, making him unable to resist. If he could, he hoped that he would never face Li Jing in his life, and this crushing of IQ made him not know how to fight this battle at all.

Looking at the soldiers around them, they were all dirty and shriveled, with yellow faces and thin muscles, their beards and hair were not tidied up, dirty and long, and after thinking about it, they estimated that they would not be much better: the horror of the Poluo True Valley was something that their natives had lingering fears, and if they were not too familiar with the terrain, they would not have dared to go deep into this place of death if they were not too familiar with the terrain and hid wine and food in front of them and in hiding places in order to escape.

Originally, they thought that they would be able to get rid of the Tang Army completely by entering the Poluo Valley and entering the land of death, preserving the fire of the "revolution", and after recuperation, they would make a comeback. However, he didn't expect that Li Jing would appear in front of him, and he would go deep into the field that the Tang army had never touched and intercept his way. At this moment, Murong Fuyun was really a little weak.

He was not sure to win the Tang army led by Li Jing, and he was even less sure to retreat into the Poluo Zhen Valley and walk the land of death again.

They could only hide in the hidden places of the Poluo Zhen Valley, waiting in the hope that Li Jing would not be able to consume and withdraw their troops.

He didn't know what Tang Jun's situation was, but he knew everything about himself. The food hidden in the Poluo Zhen Valley has almost been consumed, and now the whole army has cut back on food and clothing, even if he, the king of Tuyuhun, has not eaten a full meal for seven or eight days.

Just when he was at a loss, an army like iron appeared in the rear of Murong Fuyun.

Hou Junji!

Hou Junji's image at this moment is not a majestic general, but more like a beggar, even more miserable than a beggar, like a wild man in the mountains and forests.

Not only Hou Junji is like this, but all Tang Jun is a virtue. Dirtier than a beggar, more messy than a savage......

"Brothers!" Hou Junji roared, his voice was like a vicious wolf at the moment: "What did we eat when we were hungry and what we drank and ate along the way, do you remember?" ”

One by one, Tang Bing's eyes turned red when they heard this.

More than 2,000 miles of uninhabited Poluo Zhen Valley has no grass and no water, they eat dry food when they are hungry, gnaw ice cubes when they are thirsty, and then they can stab horses to drink blood, and when they are hungry, they directly feed on horse meat, and all the snakes, insects, rats and ants they encounter are their food...... All the way is like a beast and a savage, and it is the will of the soldiers who can hold on to this day.

"We have suffered such a great sin because of the thieves who preceded us. What else needs to be said, get out your weapons...... Just one word......" (To be continued......
