Wokotai Khanate, Loulan City.

After the fall of the Western Turks, the capital city of Loulan became the capital of the Ögedai Khanate.

Wo Kotai, the generation of male lords who laid the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty in history, had a very ugly face at this time, and asked: "Father Khan has really decided to pass on the throne to the fourth brother?" ”

"Khan, it's true!"

"Why?" Wokotai still couldn't believe it.

"It is reported that it is because you once ascended the throne as the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, and the Great Khan was afraid that Daxia would have concerns, so he chose to let Prince Tulei inherit the throne." Secret performance of close ministers.

"Great Xia!"

Wokotai gritted his teeth and showed a fierce light in his eyes. Previously, taking the order of his father Khan and borrowing the way for the Great Xia Army had already made Wokotai dissatisfied, and now there was such a scene, which made Wogetai hate Great Xia.

"Khan, what should we do?" The minister asked.

Once Tuo Lei inherited the throne, the Ögedai Khanate was afraid that it would not be able to keep it at all.

Ögedei was also a decisive lord, and muttered, "Father Khan, since you have abandoned me, don't blame me for being ruthless. As he spoke, Ogedai gave a secret order.

The ministers were taken aback and said in disbelief: "Khan, is this okay?" ”

"At this point, if you can't do it, you have to do it." Ogedai is the true character of the hero, once the decision is made, he is fearless, "Big deal, we will withdraw to Persia." ”

Mongolia's expedition to the west, the Ögedai Khanate is the absolute main force of the expedition, Mongolia has always pursued the meritorious deeds, the western expedition to win the Persian cities, to Genghis Khan to reward Ögedai.

That's their way out.

…………

October 13, the western border of Tibet.

Wang Ben's prudence saved the lives of the whole army.

In the morning, just as Wang Ben's troops were about to meet the Ashoka army, the scouts sent out found a clue from the anomaly of the enemy's grain transport team.

In ancient times, in order to ensure the safety of grain and grass, it was customary to send a force to escort the grain along the way. Even so, the whole team was still mainly labor, pushing the grain cart and moving forward on the mountain road.

In particular, this is the hinterland of Tibet, not far from the Ashoka Dynasty, and Ashoka is naturally not worried that anyone will attack them here, so the guards should only be in a few.

But the grain transportation team that appeared in the eyes of the Qin army scouts was very different, almost every 100 meters, there was an escort accompanying them, which was abnormal.

In addition to this, there were also problems with the laborers who pushed the grain carts.

In the eyes of the scouts, more than half of the laborers were strong and vigorous, and their eyes were bright.

The problem is that the people responsible for transporting grain and grass for the Ashoka Dynasty were basically the Tibetan people who were forcibly requisitioned, and it is conceivable that although they were obedient, they would never have any looks.

He was also abused by the Ashoka Dynasty, and the food must have been terrible, and his body could not have been so strong.

There are all kinds of signs that the so-called grain transportation team that appeared in front of them must be the disguised Ashoka army.

Temporary camp, camp tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Ben repaid the report and said with a smile: "The enemy is really cunning, he even disguised himself as a grain transport team, no wonder we can't find it, it turns out that it has always been under our noses." ”

After entering Tibet, Wang Ben's troops sprinkled a large number of scouts, just to find the traces of the enemy army and quietly avoid it, after all, their task was to be responsible for attacking the enemy's grain routes, not to engage the enemy's main force.

At the moment, the enemy army is mixed in the grain transport team, and even if there is no fight, it will have to fight.

"Young marshal, this may be an opportunity to make a great contribution." The lieutenant general has something to gain.

Wang Ben smiled and nodded, "Not bad." The enemy army was mixed in the grain transport team, and the secret agent reported that the sergeant's armor and weapons were hidden on the grain cart, as long as our army was taken by surprise, it would definitely be able to win the battle. ”

"Tell the whole army, rest all night, and go to battle tomorrow!" Wang Ben ordered.

"No!"

The adjutant excitedly took his leave and left.

…………

Early the next morning, Wang Ben's troops had breakfast, the whole army got on their horses, marched at full speed, and lurked in the shade of a mountain. At the foot of the Shanyang side is the only way for the enemy to transport grain.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Ashoka grain convoy appeared at the end of the road.

Because it was marching in the rear, and there were 500,000 forbidden troops to escort it, the grain transport team was fearless, and even the outpost was too lazy to arrange, so it swaggered and marched.

"Young marshal, the enemy has arrived!" Vice-President Future.

Wang Ben was calm and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

This place is not a desperate valley, and Wang Ben's troops cannot blow up the mountain and cut off the road, and if they want to attack the enemy's 500,000 troops with 70,000 troops, they must not intercept and kill the middle road, so that they cannot take care of the end of the road.

If you really want to do that, it is more likely that you will be flanked by the enemy and die.

Even so, Wang Ben didn't want to stop at the beginning, only eating the enemy's vanguard, his plan was to eat the enemy's 200,000 troops in one go, and then retreat immediately.

After the evacuation, the opportunity was taken to continue the harassment.

It's just that in that case, because it has been exposed, the enemy army is on guard, and the harassment effect in the future will be greatly reduced. It is precisely for this reason that the first battle is a rare opportunity, and it is necessary to maximize the results as much as possible.

Two hours later, the adjutant general came to remind again: "Young marshal, it's almost there!" ”

Wang Ben glanced up at the sky, it was close to noon at this time, nodded and said, "Get on the horse!" ”

"No!"

"Brush", all the soldiers who were on standby on the spot got on their horses.

After getting on the horse, the army did not shout and kill with great fanfare, but quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, condescendingly, and it was visible to the enemy on the other side of the mountain road, who was marching.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At the sound of an order, a vast rain of arrows weaved a large net, stretching for several miles, as a hood.

The arrows are condescending, under the action of gravity, like a deadly meteor, rushing down at high speed, "poof", "poof", making a dull sound, and the arrows penetrate the flesh.

The screams came one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of soldiers fell to the ground, groaning incessantly.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! ”

The grain transport team was like a frightened bird, and the first to react was the heavily armed escort team, which immediately descended, either formed a formation, or squatted on the ground, bent the bow and arrows, and gave a counterattack.

Sergeants dressed as servants were busy taking out weapons from the grain wagons. As for the armor, because of the urgency of time, it is simply impossible to have time to wear it.

Ancient armor was extremely cumbersome, and it could not be put on in a moment.

There were also real laborers among the grain caravans, all of whom were Tibetan people, and at the beginning of the battle, they immediately hid under the grain carts in fright, shivering, and praying for escape.

Unattended livestock, neighing, and some even broke free from the reins and went on a rampage through the ranks. A large number of grain trucks were knocked down, and bags of grain fell to the ground.

Some grain bags were scattered, and white rice flowed out and sprinkled all over the ground.

The whole scene was chaotic.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the enemy army had already suffered heavy losses, especially those sergeants who pretended to be laborers, who had no armor to protect them, and were killed by arrows.

The blood on the ground was mixed with rice and dirt, and it was impossible to distinguish one from the other.

In this case, the attacked troops could only flee forward, expecting to escape the enemy's attack, and soldiers, laborers, and livestock were mixed in the fleeing procession, which was extremely lively.

"Moo~~~"

An old scalper fell to the ground with an arrow, wailing incessantly.

"Untouchables, get out of the way!"

The soldiers of the Ashoka army, who were fleeing, saw that they were blocked by labor, and without the slightest hesitation, they slashed with their knives, killed the opponent on the spot, and then stepped on the corpse of the opponent and fled forward.

"Killed, sergeant killed ~~~"

Most of the conscripted laborers were from the same village, and some even came from the same village, and when they saw their companions killed and enslaved, they were already full of resentment, and at the moment of life and death, they completely broke out.

"Fight with them!"

As he spoke, some of the laborers picked up the weapons on the ground and stepped forward.

"Untouchables, dare to rebel!"

The Ashoka army became even more angry, and became more and more ruthless in killing and servitude.

At this time, it was lively, and the enemy army "inside" actually fought each other while fleeing.

Wang Benbu, who was standing on a high place, was not moved at all, and continued to fire arrows with an expressionless face, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy. Anyway, there are many enemy troops, and there is a wave in front, and someone in the back makes up for it.

Don't be too comfortable with such a kill.

The Ashoka army was not a fool either, and after the initial panic, it quickly calmed down, especially the troops in the rear that had not been attacked, and had already put on their armor, formed a battle formation, and climbed to the top of the mountain.

Their idea was naturally to climb to the top of the mountain and copy the back road of the Great Xia army.

In any case, the Ashoka dynasty has an absolute numerical superiority and is not afraid at all. Once the large army climbs the hill, it is not certain who will win and who will lose.

"Young marshal, the enemy's rear road is almost rushing up the hill." The adjutant will report.

Wang Ben nodded and ordered: "Stop shooting arrows and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Because the slope of the mountain is steep, it is not suitable for cavalry to charge down, and if you really want to rush down, you may be able to kill the enemy, but it will also hit the opposite cliff with men and horses, which is really not worth it.

"No!"

Soon, Wang Ben's troops changed formation, turned their horses' heads, and launched a charge against the rear. At this moment, the Ashoka army had also rushed up the hillside, and before they could gain a foothold, they were greeted by the rumbling hooves of horses.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Qin army, who were unscathed, raised their spears and rushed to kill.

In the face of such a torrent of steel, the Ashoka army was powerless, and the soldiers only had time to let out a desperate cry before they were trampled into pulp by the cavalry.

Wang Benbu rushed all the way to the top of the mountain, like a bulldozer, and the Ashoka army that rushed up along the way was killed one by one, or after being rammed, rolled down the hillside, not knowing whether he would live or die.

This time, it's really chilling.

The Ashoka army, which was climbing to the top of the mountain, couldn't help but stop for a moment. Then, they rushed to the top of the mountain at a faster speed.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

The enemy cavalry had already rushed through, and now they rushed to the top of the hill, and then formed a formation, and they were absolutely blocked. As long as you block the first wave of attacks, you will have a steady stream of companions rushing forward.

It is too early to say whether the war will be won or lost.
