Sanhekou, on the east bank of the Tao River.

Wu Zheng's 10,000 elite soldiers have been waiting for the battle, including 5,000 Zuo Yu Lin Wei veterans and 5,000 recruits, Wu Chu in accordance with the principle of "the old to lead the new", let these recruits learn from the veterans, learn how to survive in the sword and blood, and be able to achieve victory, and eventually grow into a qualified veteran.

Sanhekou, the west bank of the Tao River.

On Qinling has now changed to a miscellaneous horse, so he is in a very bad mood, and the poisoning incident in Qijiaji suddenly makes him have an illusion, could this be that King Wu of Wei has also arrived in Linzhou?

He was not sure, and he didn't believe it in Qinling himself, so he gave a new order, "Gongren, pass the order, step up and urge the slaves and people to build pontoon bridges, and if they can't reach the other side before dark, they will all be executed!" “

Gong Ren hurriedly took the order, he knew that his father was also in a hurry to cross the river.

At this time, fifteen pontoon bridges were erected at the same time on the upper reaches of the mouth of the three rivers, on the surface of the Tao River, and the slaves and the people ignored the coldness of the river, half of their bodies were immersed in the water, and their lips were blue from the cold, but they did not dare to scream, because once they heard the shouting, the Tibetan soldiers would not hesitate to wave their butcher knives.

On the small earthen bag on the east bank of the Tao River, Wu Chuan raised a monocular, and looked at the Sanhekou again by the afterglow of the sunset, only to see that the Tubo soldiers at the mouth of the Sanhekou began to slaughter cattle and sheep, and some of the firehead soldiers set up a fire and set up a fat white and tender yellow sheep to barbecue.

"These grandchildren, life is really nourishing!" Wu Chu muttered, then put away the binoculars, got out of the dirt bag, and at this time the firemen came to the camp with the broth and steamed buns. 10,000 soldiers and civilians began to line up to receive food.

It can be seen from the queue to receive the meal. The military discipline of the Great Zhou Dynasty is developing in a benign direction, which is something that Wu Zong is very happy to see, if it becomes a profession when all soldiers. Then the training of the quality of soldiers can be put on a daily basis.

Wu Chu had his own guards bring a pot of broth and a plate of steamed buns, although he did not surrender his identity and queued up to receive food, but he ate the same as a soldier, and there was no special thing at all. This is also the spirit of "sharing weal and woe with soldiers in the army" that Wu Chuan has always advocated.

He set an example, the purpose is to make those generals from the Great Zhou Martial Academy know how to cherish their soldiers. Because the war can be won in the end, it still depends on these small soldiers to kill it with knives and guns.

On both sides of the Tao River, the soldiers of the Great Zhou and Tubo were hurrying to replenish their bodies. And on Qinling, I think. The wisps of smoke rising from the villages on the other side of the river must be the Han people outside Linzhou City cooking at home.

Of course, if there was also a telescope in the Qinling Tomb, then he would have been amazed, and he could see that there were countless Great Zhou soldiers in the forests and fields outside the village. Drinking broth happily. Eating soft white and tender steamed buns.

But it's a pity that there is no telescope in the Qinling Tomb, and I don't know what that kind of artifact is, just like the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they all call it a clairvoyant!

The Tibetan soldiers stretched for miles, lit bonfires, and roasted yellow sheep, if it weren't for the march. The Tibetans, who like to dance in groups, will definitely take the girl's hand and dance happily, but now they can only nibble on the dry golden yellow mutton.

On Qinling obviously can't wait. When the ten pontoon bridges were erected on the opposite bank, he immediately ordered his eldest son, Gong Ren, to lead the vanguard cannon fodder across the river and occupy the village on the opposite bank as a camp for the night.

Gong Ren did not dare to disobey his father's orders, so he immediately led 10,000 Tibetan soldiers to step on ten pontoon bridges in ten units. The Tibetan soldiers moved extremely quickly, they stepped on the war horses and marched on the pontoon bridge under the leadership of the commander of the thousand, galloping towards the opposite bank.

After Wu Chu received the scout's warning, he immediately lay down on the small dirt bag and raised the binoculars. In the telescope, he saw that the Tubo soldiers had already crossed the river before the rest of the pontoon bridge was built, indicating that the Qinling was impatient, and the generals were most jealous of impetuousness, especially before every big war, maybe a wrong decision would bury the entire army, and even disrupt the strategic deployment.

Because this is the role of the army, it is born with blood and conquest, but also with blood and defeat and dies, and the country to which it belongs will also lead to the demise!

Of course, the war to destroy the country is not so simple.

Since Qinling is impetuous, then give him a ruthless one, so that he knows that Da Zhou still has his martial arts, and there are many patriotic soldiers who are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood, and they all take the horse leather shroud as glory!

So Wu Chu issued an order, "All the scouts who are monitoring the riverbank are all withdrawn, the bed crossbow array is ready, pay attention to concealing yourself, and don't be discovered!" ”

There were heralds to pass orders, and Wu Chu had been searching for the Qinling Tomb in the telescope, but there were too many Tubo soldiers, and after searching for a long time, he decided not to look for it, and continued to focus on the Tubo soldiers who were crossing the river.

The widest part of the Tao River is nearly 150 steps, the narrowest part is only 30 steps, and the narrowest part of the water depth cannot erect a pontoon bridge, so the Tubo generals chose to erect a pontoon bridge on the river surface of 100 steps, and this place is also just 100 steps away from the upstream of the mouth of the three rivers.

Now the five pontoon bridges are still being built at an accelerated pace, and on the remaining ten pontoon bridges, the Tibetan soldiers are rushing towards the east bank quickly, but they still do not find any anomalies five hundred paces away, because at this time the sky begins to darken, and the fire clouds finally become gray and unknown after being extremely bright.

After two moments, there were 30,000 Tibetan soldiers crossing the river. Gong Ren was also for insurance, he still had to go to seize the village, but after the third team of 10,000 people crossed the river, he brought his father's order, "Set off immediately and occupy the village!" ”

Gong Ren did not dare to disobey, so he had to gather three commanders and give the order to conquer the village not far away.

The three captains were not stupid, and said in a low voice: "General, this village is too quiet, and there is not even a dog barking. ”

Gong Ren was also surprised, but another captain said, "A dog barks? At this time, the dog also has to eat and rest, Dorma, do you have to be as bold as the snow hare on the snowy mountain? ”

The man, whose name was Thomas, was a little upset and stopped talking. Gong Ren was skeptical. But he decided to obey his father's orders.

So he shouted, "Set out as a whole army and occupy the villages in front." Find a place to stay for the brothers in the back! ”

As soon as the Tibetan soldiers heard the order, they screamed, in their eyes, there are a lot of tender girls in these beautiful villages, and it seems that they can be happy again tonight. As a result, 30,000 Tibetan soldiers rushed to the village in front under the leadership of the commander.

Gong Ren glanced at the Tubo brothers who were preparing to cross the river, tightened the reins of their horses, and then shouted. It followed with a trilogy.

Wu Chu had already heard the chirping of the Tubo soldiers, and he also gave an order, "Prepare for battle!" ”

Suddenly. The soldiers removed the artemisia grass from the bed crossbows, revealing the hideous arrows, which looked terrifying in the darkness of the night. The Tibetan soldiers lit torches and headed towards the village. Dense. When a rocket was shot out and landed 300 paces away, although the Tibetan soldiers were suspicious, they thought it was whose torch fell, so they didn't pay attention to it at all.

An arrow off the string is hard to retract!

Three hundred steps. With a "Put!" ”

Suddenly, the Great Zhou soldiers swung their gavels and smashed them down quickly. Immediately afterwards, countless crossbow arrows shot at the Tubo soldiers in the whizzing sound of breaking the wind.

Puff puff!

Countless sounds of breaking flesh suddenly resounded in the night sky, followed by roars and terrible screams, as well as the unwilling anger before death!

The captain couldn't see clearly what was happening ahead, but it was clear that they were met with resistance from the villagers. True, the captains thought that this should be the resistance of the villagers. Otherwise, if they had fired arrows while they were crossing the river, they might not have been able to cross the river, but now that the pontoon bridge has been built, there are 30,000 soldiers crossing the river, and it will soon become 40,000 or 50,000...... Until two hundred thousand!

The dark night, the crossbow arrows, and the tragic roar are intertwined into the symphony of war!

The torches of the Tubo soldiers became a clear target for the Great Zhou army, but the Tubo soldiers really didn't know what was going on, at first they thought it was a trap for the villagers, but when the first shallow trench appeared, Gong Ren finally felt that something was wrong, how could such a fortification be done by the villagers, he knew very well that the Han people regarded the fields as their lives, so destroyed, in addition to the Great Zhou army, who else would there be?

But the arrow has left the string, and it is difficult to collect the water, if this Great Zhou army is not eliminated at this moment, then the attack on Lintao City will inevitably be blocked, so how can he explain to his father? So Gong Ren gave the order to charge!

Wu Chu looked at the countless torches, and finally smiled, these 30,000 Tubo cannon fodder, he was sure to eat, and then gave a death order, "Eat this Tubo mongrel!" ”

As the Tubo soldiers accelerated their charge, the speed of the bed crossbow firing also accelerated, three rounds of firing, each round had nearly two thousand crossbow arrows into the middle of the Tubo soldiers, but even so, the barbarism and madness of the Tubo soldiers were also vividly reflected at this moment, they were like bloodthirsty wolves in the night, overwhelming, if it weren't for the bed crossbow suppressed in two formations, I am afraid that they would have rushed to the front.

Of course, there were also a few brave men who rushed to the front of the battle, but they were also frightened into a cold sweat, screaming and pounced on the bed crossbow, but then they were pierced by the spear and several holes, and the account was settled.

Wu Chu saw the bravery of the Tubo soldiers, and couldn't help but be moved, if there was a Tubo army, plus strategy, why not fight to the Mediterranean? But then I thought about it, the barbarism of the Tubo soldiers was also related to their living habits and the undisciplined Tubo army, if the Tubo soldiers were placed in the Great Zhou, I am afraid they would become the same as the Great Zhou soldiers. What's more, Wu Zong demanded that his army have only "loyalty and obedience!" ”

Unruly and unruly, only suitable for bandits and chivalrous guests.

In the dark night, Gong Ren finally saw what was happening in front of him, and he suddenly had an indescribable bitterness, seeing that one by one the Tubo soldiers were pierced through the body by long crossbow arrows and carried into the air before falling heavily, he finally remembered that he had seen such a scene in the four towns of Anxi in the Western Regions.

Could it be that the king of Wei, Wu Zheng, personally conquered?

The Tubo soldiers were very brave, but the bed crossbow array of the Great Zhou had been brought into full play, harvesting the lives of the Tubo soldiers with stubble. (To be continued......)
