Li Yu's army has been confronting the Tubo Wusheng army on the shore of Taoshui for three days, three days, the pontoon bridge extends to the opposite bank at a slow speed, every time the Tubo army tries to use archers to stop the extension of the pontoon bridge, but every time it is shot by the strong crossbow of the * A person turned over on his back, falling flowers and flowing water, and the Wusheng army was so angry that he scolded:

"If I bring the bed crossbow from Didao City, I won't shoot you."

The Darutou man standing on the side muttered:

"If I had known this, my lord would have simply not lost Di Dao City."

Fortunately, Wu Shengjun couldn't understand the Qiang language, otherwise he would have had to attack at that time. The other Qiang leaders knew that Daru was dissatisfied because he could not protect his family's property in the clan but had to go to the front line to fight this uncertain battle, and hurriedly grabbed him. In fact, they also wanted to move all their family property into the mountains, but they were afraid of Tibet and did not dare to act rashly. A leader comforted Darudao:

"Daru, when this battle is won, we can go back. The second minister's men and horses will arrive in a day or two. ”

Daru was skeptical that such a tired army from afar could beat it*, and he had learned the power of the weapon in the past few days.

It's not a way to just sit and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, since it can't be stopped during the day, then it's better to come at night, Wusheng Jun Jiedu sent people to secretly wade across the river and burn the bridge for two consecutive nights, but they were all thwarted by the alert *, leaving hundreds of corpses and retreating.

Fortunately, the pontoon bridge has been built to the center of the river, and the archers of the future * will be helpless against the Tibetan army, so the progress of * has also slowed down, giving the Tibetan people time to breathe and think about countermeasures.

"Deputy Marshal!"

In Li Yu's Chinese military tent, Wang Maoyuan strode in, put his hand to the bonfire, and said:

"This is the hell weather, it's so cold now."

Li He, who joined the army on the side, said with a smile:

"There is a poem in Cen Jiazhou 'Hu Tian is snowing in August', and now it's September, so it's strange if it's not cold."

Seeing that Li Yu's face was uncertain, Wang Maoyuan hurriedly retracted his hand and saluted:

"Tell the deputy marshal, this evening, after nightfall, the Tubo sent people to wade through the water to burn the bridge twice, and they were shot dead by the soldiers under the command of the last general, and they fled back."

Li Yu said:

"It's hard work, General Wang. The pontoon bridge must be carefully guarded. ”

Wang Maoyuan said:

"Please rest assured, the deputy marshal will send a battalion to each bridge at the end, and there are more than a dozen small boats patrolling back and forth under the bridge to discipline the Tubo people not to approach."

Li Yu said:

"General Wang's arrangements are very thorough, but it's better to be careful in everything."

Wang Maoyuan said:

"The end will be saved. It's just that there is something unclear about the last general, so I have come to ask the deputy marshal. ”

Li Yu said:

"General Wang, please speak."

Wang Maoyuan said:

"Deputy Marshal, although our army can't cross the river to kill the enemy at the moment, why just wait for the other side to send someone over to burn the bridge? The last general saw that the camp on the other side was much thicker today, and it was obvious that reinforcements were coming. ”

Li Yu smiled slightly and asked:

"Does General Wang have any clever plans?"

Wang Maoyuan said:

"I can't talk about a clever plan, but the last general thinks that he can use the other way to give back to the other."

Li Yu said:

"Tell me about it."

Wang Maoyuan said:

"The last general thought that he might as well send hundreds of soldiers to steal the camp at night. In the past few days, he came to attack our army, but our army did not return fire, and it is expected that the Tibetan people will think that our army will wait for the pontoon bridge to be built before crossing the river to attack, and it is the time to attack it unprepared. ”

Li Yu finally showed a smile on his face and said:

"The commander is about to send someone to ask the general to discuss the matter. Since General Wang proposed it first, you will be the main attack tonight. Pick a few battalions out. ”

He only said how many people were picked, but he did not say where to attack. Wang Maoyuan understood in his heart:

"In the end, the general will be saved, so he will pick 500 people to rob the Chinese army of the Tubo people, and then send 500 people to attack the new soldiers and horses in Tubo, 500 people will take advantage of the chaos to burn the other party's grain and grass, and send another 1,000 people to divide into two ways to respond. Two thousand people raised fire on this side of the river to cheer. ”

Well-planned and orderly, this guy really has two brushes. Just robbed all the credit. The faces of the generals of the other armies were uncertain, but Li Yu said:

"It's okay, the so-called one thing doesn't bother the two masters, and today's affairs will be left to the first army. Everyone, rest and recuperate, wait for the decisive battle, and today it will be up to General Wang's methods. ”

Finally able to move his muscles and bones, Wang Maoyuan was naturally very happy, but after receiving the military order, he did not leave, and said:

"Deputy Marshal Qiqi, there is one more thing for the last general."

Li Yu nodded and said:

"Speak."

Wang Maoyuan said:

"The last general thinks that since the deputy marshal is a feint attack plan here, it is better to simply let the Tubo people come over and destroy a section of the pontoon bridge to be proud of their ambitions, otherwise the general will think that they may not be able to sit still."

Li Yu nodded and said:

"It is expected that after General Wang steals the camp today, Tubo will inevitably attack tomorrow, so he will rely on General Wang to fight tomorrow to frustrate his spirit, and then see if he has the courage to attack and burn the bridge after the new defeat. Be careful, though, that you can only let them burn a small section. ”

Wang Maoyuan was ordered to arrange it. And Li Yu walked to the sand table again, Ding Shiliang said:

"Marshal Qiqi, the army led by the second prime minister of Tubo will probably arrive tomorrow and tomorrow."

Li Yu said:

"The herald, the Second Army will pull out the camp early tomorrow morning, and say that it is going to Lanzhou to reinforce Deputy Marshal Hao Xuan, go west for fifty miles through Didao City, and rest in place, and quietly return to Didao at night, control the four gates, and not let anyone enter or leave."

The soldiers and horses of the Second Army led Li You's order. Li Yu then instructed:

"The destruction camp will follow the second army tomorrow under the banner of Ben Shuai."

The destruction camp is a battalion formed by Li Yu's collection of Mo swordsmen in the army, the whole battalion of 2,000 people, handed over to Li Zhongyi to command, anyway, the whole battalion has 5,000 horses, hundreds of carts, tired of not going anywhere, Li Zhongyi did not say much, took the order arrow.

Then, Li Yu ordered the 72nd Army to be stationed tomorrow, and Guo Fang also took over the order.

When the day was about to dawn, in the quiet military camp of Tibet, the sentry on the enemy tower had wide eyes, and he was holding on not to be sleepy, and suddenly felt something in his eyes move, and when he turned around, it was just a beast that was only alarmed, and when he turned around, a cold light shot into his throat, and the sentry struggled to fall down.

Then there was the shouting of killing. Don't General Xu Xiang led 500 cavalry to hold torches high, shouting and killing into the Tubo military camp, and then shouting and killing sounded in several directions at the same time. On the banks of the river, two thousand* also raised torches and shouted loudly, making a gesture to cross the river. The Tibetan soldiers, who were sleeping soundly, and the warriors of various tribes came out of their tents in a panic, and were stabbed with their lances by the * cavalry who arrived just in time.

* Wherever the cavalry rushed, the slaughter was carried out, and the fire was placed. Although the Tibetan army was numerous, there were only a few thousand Tibetan soldiers who were properly trained, and the soldiers of the other divisions were like headless flies, scurrying around, not knowing what to do. And what is particularly vicious is that Xu Xiang led the troops to specially select officers and head people to kill, which caused the paralysis of the command of the Tubo army, and * did not entangle with the intercepted Tubo soldiers, but drove the rout soldiers to rush into the camp, and the huge momentum made the Tubo people unable to judge how many people came at all, until the second minister who had just arrived ordered the whole Chinese army to light torches, only to find that there were not many people in fact.

It's just that it's too late by this time. Don't General Shang Qi had already lit a raging fire in the grain camp, and the second prime minister had to order a part of the people to put out the fire, and ordered the archers to shoot arrows to kill the rout soldiers who attacked their own army formation, which barely stabilized the situation, and at this time, the * who had taken advantage of it had already retreated calmly. was so angry that Tubo Cixiang shouted, but the envoy of Wusheng Jun had a black face and didn't know what to do. I wanted to send a large army to sneak attack, but I was afraid that the * on the other side would really fight, so I had to send the Qiang people Daru to chase after me with my own troops.

At the welcome banquet, when the second minister asked about the movement, he promised that he would not cross the river if the pontoon bridge was not built well. This couldn't help but make him resentful, and secretly cursed* Why didn't he sneak attack early or late, but he sneaked up when the second phase came.

At dawn, the * who made a detour to steal the camp returned to the barracks happily. Wang Maoyuan personally stood outside the camp gate to greet him, and as soon as he saw Wang Maoyuan, Xu Xiang shouted:

"General, this time it's really a pleasure to kill, and next time this good thing will send me to Lao Xu."

Next to Shang Qi added:

"It's just that the horse gun on the road is not happy, and grandma's Tibetan mongrel is also very cunning, and she sent a Qiang person to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and the Qiang people are very cautious, and the chasing soldiers run slowly, and when they see us killed, they run faster than rabbits."

Wang Maoyuan also had a satisfied smile on his face, loudly condolences to the returning soldiers, and ordered them to go to the record to join the army to report their military merits and return to the camp to sleep well. This battle was indeed not bad, and Captain Meng Yang estimated that he would be beheaded at least a thousand. I burned a few large grain tents, and I don't know if the Tibetans can be saved. Xu Xiang also provided an even more exciting piece of information, that is, he seemed to see the banner of the second minister of Tubo when he was stealing the camp.

Tubo looked at the pillow in front of him, but there was a smile on his face, and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, let's let these Tang people who don't dare to fight head-to-head be proud for the time being, and we'll give him a hard time later."

And the second phase is going to take revenge. How did they know that the prime minister, who was proficient in Chinese, was muttering the three words "Ximawei" in his heart?
