Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 344 Three Hundred Glass Beads Determine the Winner
"Words"
"Words"
"It's all words"
Those who looked around saw it very clearly, fifty copper coins, all literally up
In an instant, everyone inhaled, and one by one they didn't dare to make a sound, as if as long as they breathed heavier, they would alarm the gods in the underworld.
Ye Chang saw that the fifty coins were really full of words, and he was also overjoyed, and said immediately: "Sure enough, the gods bless me, Zhuge Cheng bless me, this time I will win, Ge Luofeng is just another Meng gain"
"Hooray, hooray"
When the Tang people are excited, they will call out long live, as long as it is not in front of the Son of Heaven, such cheers are nothing. After a brief period of consternation, I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and then the three armies cheered in unison, and the dark clouds that had been accumulated in the hearts of everyone disappeared in this cheer.
Li Bai and Cai Ming glanced at each other, and what they saw from each other's eyes was shock.
Wang Tianyun was ashen and defeated, and the two forces were trembling, and he couldn't wait to kneel down immediately.
Ye Chang didn't have much pride, as if this god's protection was a matter of course, he said lightly: "The gift of the gods, don't be in the open air for a long time, come here, nail these fifty coins with nails, then cover them with green yarn, cover them with stone slabs, and when I return from victory, I will take them again."
Immediately, his own soldiers came up, nailed the copper coins one by one with big iron nails, and then covered them with green yarn, and then dragged a few stone slabs from nowhere, and pressed the green yarn again.
"Tut, no wonder the two of us have been in the army for so long, and they are just small soldiers, I finally understand now" The manager over there was surprised, and whispered to Miao Zhongliang.
"Why?"
"The two of us, obviously have no eyes, Ambassador Ye, with the protection of the gods, and the guidance of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, but we have repeatedly scolded him behind his back if it weren't for him as an adult and not remembering the villain, I'm afraid that we would have been killed by the gods a long time ago, where can we still live until now, we are so blind and don't know what to do, where can we be promoted to officials?"
"Reasonable, reasonable"
The muttering of the two of them was the heartfelt words of most of the tens of thousands of soldiers present.
At first, they were dissatisfied with Ye Chang's eagerness to march, but now they all felt that Ye Chang's request was taken for granted. It's not that there is no smart one among the tens of thousands of people in the army, but because most of these soldiers are taken from Shu, and at this time, the soldiers of Shu are superstitious and believe in ghosts and gods.
It's Li Bai, well-informed, and his chin can't be closed at this time.
Only Shanzhi looked at the copper coins that were covered by the stone slabs, and pouted: Ye Shiyi is pretending to be a god and a ghost again, when he was cultivating martial arts, he started by pretending to be a god and making ghosts, and now he still has to rely on pretending to be a god and a ghost to convince people's hearts.
Since Bu Cheng was lucky, Ye Chang no longer hesitated, and ordered the camp to be pulled, leaving more than ten personal soldiers to guard the stone tablet. This time, none of the armies pushed or picked up, but they were all excited.
After the army marched for more than ten miles, Li Bai came back to his senses, pulled Ye Chang and asked, "How did you do it?"
"What?"
"How to Make Fifty Copper Coins Face Up"
"This is the magic method of the immortal family, blessed by the gods, unspeakable." Ye Chang pretended to be authentic.
The more he was like this, the more anxious Li Bai became, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he didn't calm down for a long time.
After two more days, the army arrived at Qu Yoke, that is, Datang Tongqi County. This place was originally inhabited by the white barbarians, but Pi Luo Pavilion destroyed the white barbarians, and plundered all the nobles to the west of the Erhai Lake.
At this moment, the scout in front came to report that Ge Luofeng raised the army of Nanzhao, known as 100,000, and had arrived in Yining, and its vanguard department was welcomed to Kunchuan
Hearing this news, the generals of the Tang Army did not take it to heart, they were still immersed in the "miracles" protected by the gods, so they shouted one by one that they would fight a decisive battle against the barbarians for the vanguard.
Wang Tianyun was the most fierce among them.
"Please join the division with the last general, the last general is willing to make a military order, this battle will be won, and if you are not victorious, you are willing to come to see you"
Everyone knows very well that the six edicts, each of which is only 10,000 to tens of thousands, is plus the white barbarians who have expanded and annexed in recent years, the total strength of Nanzhao may not be 100,000, where to gather 100,000 troops to meet it, therefore, the most likely force of Nanzhao is 20,000 to 30,000, and its vanguard force is only thousands.
In the case of a comparable number of people, the Tang sergeants are not afraid of any army in this era, of course, provided that the materials are sufficient and in good health. The biggest reason for the failure of Xian Yu Zhongtong's last expedition to the south was the epidemic in the army, and most of the casualties died from this.
Wang Tianyun was eager, and Ye Chang also understood his thoughts. Previously, Wang Tianyun despised Ye Chang a little, he was afraid of offending Ye Chang, so he tried to show his strength and wanted to invite credit.
"Marquis Wang Yu wants to fight, which is exactly what I want, but ...... I hope Wang Yuhou will do that. Ye Chang groaned: "This battle can only be defeated, not won"
"What?" Wang Tianyun was anxious when he heard this: "If you are defeated or not won, then I won't go."
"If you lose this battle, credit for your first credit." Ye Changdao.
Wang Tianyun only felt confused, he could still remember the first credit after defeat, how could there be such a beautiful thing?
According to Ye Chang's words, he led two thousand good runners as the vanguard and marched towards Kunchuan. After all, this is the realm of barbarians, even if it belongs to the white barbarians, there are many people who communicate with Nanzhao. Therefore, the troops he led followed the ancient tea horse road, and there were barbarians who took the trail and went over the mountain. When he was still more than 20 miles away from Kunchuan, he looked around, only to see that the forest was deep and the road was narrow, the grass was long and slippery, half of the mountains and half of the valley, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: what a place to attack
He looked back at his troops and couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
As Ye Chang said, the person he led was the best runner among the 30,000 troops. Running for one's life generally means being cowardly, and that's what happens to all of them.
What made Wang Tianyun feel even more incredible was that in addition to sending some unobtrusive soldiers to him, he also asked him to escort more than 40 carts of baggage.
This car is a chicken bus, and it is a little difficult to walk on the road full of plank road steps, plus the baskets and packages carried by the soldiers, this does not look like a formal army, but like a group of escapees.
"Be careful, Hugh is going to be ambushed," he snorted.
Miao Zhongliang and Guan Gao, among the three thousand people, they shrank their heads and brains, gasping and complaining to each other, they all felt that it was because they were known to say bad things about Ye Chang behind their backs, so they ended up in this drudgery.
Hearing Wang Tianyun's order from the school guard in front of him, Miao Zhongliang couldn't help but start complaining.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop talking, and he was still chattering halfway through the narrow cliff path. At this moment, I heard the sound of the bangzi in front of me, and the arrows rained down, and the head and head shot over.
"Ahh
Guan Gao reacted slowly, and was hit by him, stumbling, and almost planted under the cliff next to the five-foot road. Looking at the rest of the sergeants, they all lost their armor and fled one after another.
No need to pretend, Wang Tianyun's department is very embarrassed, the barbarians are familiar with geography, this encounter is a surprise attack, the terrain is narrow, there are forces that cannot be deployed, caught off guard, everyone's first thought is still to retreat.
Although Wang Tianyun was mentally prepared, he was also blinded, and only came back to his senses after a few breaths: "Run, run quickly, don't want anything, run."
He took the lead and fled, only to see the chickens, carts, and baskets carried by the soldiers thrown to the ground, and countless copper coins, cloth, and silk were thrown out. In order to prevent these things from blocking their escape, they left their capital in the valley, and half of the valley was filled with these possessions.
On the top of the mountain, Yang Mouli saw this scene, and Ha Luha laughed.
"The king wants me to be cautious, in my opinion, this doll general of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than this, the soldiers have no will to fight, they will have no courage, and they dare to come to recruit me?"
He was a white man, who was ordered to be the vanguard of the Southern Zhao Army, and when he got the news this time, he personally led his troops to meet him and prepared to ambush the Tang Army's forward. As soon as the two sides fought, the Tang army behaved so badly that he was emboldened.
At this moment, a person from behind ran over panting: "General, the main force of the Tang Army has moved"
"Oh?"
However, it was the main force of the Tang Army, and about an hour after the departure of the vanguard troops, it also began to pull out. Hearing the news, Yang Mouli sneered: When they arrive, just wait to collect the corpses of the Tang Army here
"Hunt and kill...... Hey, hey, what are you doing here, hurry up and kill the Tang people" He was just about to give the order to chase and kill, but what he saw in front of him made him thunder and almost roared.
The barbarians under his command did not pay attention to the Tang army at all, and almost all of them stared at the treasures of that valley.
Although Yunnan is rich in products, but the barbarian production level is low, coupled with the aristocratic head is strong, so the ordinary barbarian is very poor, some people in this life even for the first time to see so many property, how can there be no reason not to be moved
"What is this?" Someone saw that there were still scattered shiny beads on the five-foot road, and couldn't help but shout.
"Pearl, could it be the rumored pearl of the night?"
"I don't know if I've never seen it...... It's definitely a good thing."
In fact, it is just a handful of glass beads, but now that the price of glass beads has dropped, there are also some people who have been introduced to Yunnan, but for these ordinary barbarian soldiers, it is a rare commodity that has never been heard of or seen. Although I don't know what it is, as long as you look at its shiny and translucent appearance, everyone thinks it must be worth it.
With quick eyes, he picked up the glass bead and hid it in his pocket.
As long as one of them could not control himself and went to collect these possessions, the rest of the people were not to be left behind and stepped forward one after another. Moreover, most of the barbarian soldiers are temporarily recruited, and they may not even know their own commanders, so where is there any military discipline
First there were glass beads, then cloth, copper coins, and then what was grabbed. When he had snatched something, his pockets were full, he threw away his blade and grabbed his belongings with his free hands. If he does not find something, he will try to snatch some from his companions.
Therefore, although Yang Mouli shouted and scolded angrily, the barbarians below ignored it, and you fought for me to grab the property on the road. After picking up the clothes on the road, everyone's attention turned to the valley, which was too little compared to the continuous pieces of cloth and silk in the valley.
So the people left the five-foot road again, and thought of going to the valley to search for the goods, but in a few moments, the five-foot road was empty again.
When Yang Mouli saw this situation, he knew that something was wrong, and was about to order his own soldiers to enforce the military law, but when he looked back, he found that his own soldiers were gone.
"This is the trick of the Tang people, this is the trick of the Tang people" He suddenly understood in his heart and shouted.
"Ha Luha, I picked up another one" He shouted on the mountain, but the soldiers below didn't hear it, just now the Tang army had already broken up, and even these valuable treasures were thrown away, where could there be any treacherous tricks, all the ears were the joyful voices of those companions who picked up the glass beads scattered in the stone crevices and tree roots.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yang Mouli's forehead, and he rushed towards the mountain road, but before he reached the mountain road, he heard the sound of "buzzing" endlessly
The thought of "bad ......" only came to his mind, and he only felt a shake in his chest, and his body was taken back a few steps.
He barely looked up, and saw that the mountains were all over the field, and it seemed that there were Tang troops everywhere. He only cursed cunning, and his body fell, and he rolled down the hillside, and before he could reach the bottom of the mountain, he was already exhausted.
"Kill, brothers, kill" Wang Tianyun was triumphant, he shouted while waving the knife in his hand. Most of the Tang troops around him were clinging to crossbows, and one by one, crossbow arrows flew out, sweeping down the scattered barbarians like mowing grass.
Taking advantage of the barbarians to loot the property, he made a comeback, and now the Tang army has seized such a favorable position as the hillside and ridge. Most of the barbarians went to the valley where they could not move in order to rob their property, and even hung up their bows, and in the face of the crossbow rain of the Tang army, they had no power to fight back at all.
"Grandma's, I just shot grandpa me"
"And a bald monk...... Shoot you in the face, you can change your name to Yan She."
"It's really dead asking for money, I'm still holding on to things when I'm dead"
Miao Zhongliang snorted and cursed wildly, shooting crossbow arrows one after another, such a one-sided slaughter that did not require face-to-face fighting, he was very courageous to do. Guan Gao next to him followed him, and he was a gourd with a sullen mouth, helping him make up for it from time to time. When they were going to shoot the crossbows they were carrying, they looked into the valley and saw corpses all over the ground, and blood gathered into streams.
"Big Victory"
"Big Victory"
Everyone woke up from Fang Cai's tense state and immediately cheered.
This was indeed a great victory, with negligible casualties, most of them still twisted their feet and broke their arms because of the difficulty of the mountain road, and the enemy's nearly 2,000 men, at least half of them died, and the rest either knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, or fled into the forest.
"Ambassador Ye really has the help of the gods" Guan Gao heard everyone cheering, and muttered in a low voice: "It was so easy to win"
"That's natural, you don't know what to do, but I heard that when Ambassador Ye was resting in Nanning Prefecture, he dreamed of Prime Minister Zhuge at night, and he was given three tips by Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, today is only the first trick, and he still has two tricks that have not been shown" Miao Zhongliang said in a low voice.
"You used to say that he would pee his pants when he went into battle, bah, you are such a nonsense person, you have to stay away from you in the future"
"Where did I say it, it's clear what you said Okay, I said it a long time ago, Ambassador Ye is extraordinary
