Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ambush on All Sides

The general was in bed in the general's mansion to recuperate for about a week, and his strength recovered a lot, and occasionally he would get out of bed and walk around when he was in a good mood, play a set of boxing techniques, and then go back to the study to read a book for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

During this time, the 800-mile fast ride that came to Loulan to ask the general to return to Beijing also tossed 12 times, and the 12 golden pure gold tokens issued by the emperor himself were neatly placed on the desk in the study of the general's mansion.

After dinner, the general was helped by the maid and returned to the study again, Huo Guang looked at the 12 gold medal orders on the table, he shook his head with a wry smile, and thought to himself, "This emperor wants to get rid of me, and he really has made a lot of money! Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the transfer of generals has been a roll of silk brocade holy decrees, when have you used gold medal orders? Now the saint wants to get rid of himself, not only does he use gold medal orders, but also 12 gold medals and 12 horses come one after another!"

Huo Guang asked the maids to step back first, he wanted to read the book in the study for a while, he took a roll of bamboo slips from the bookshelf and looked at it seriously (there were already paper books in the Tang Dynasty, and the paper was yellow, but at that time, the paper was more expensive, and the bamboo slips were cheap and convenient, so they were still in use)

Before I knew how long it was, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the study, and it seemed panicked. The sound came from far and near, and stopped in front of the house. From this sweaty horse jumped a general, who almost rushed into the general's palace. The soldiers in front of the palace wanted to stop him, but after looking at the general covered in blood, they ignored it and did not come forward to interrogate.

This "blood general" used to come to the general, and he was very familiar with the general. The guards and soldiers all knew him, his name was Shi Qian, and he was General Wupin Ningyuan. He is the deputy general of Shangguan Yi, the captain of the Sipin Light Car, and the two have an excellent relationship, like brothers.

When he saw Shi Qian enter the mansion, he cried and shouted: "General, General, please save Lord Shangguan! Save Lord Shangguan!" Huo Guang pushed the door out of the study and came to the living room, he stood in the living room and saw a bloody man yelling. Huo Guang saw that it was Shi Qian, and he also shouted: "General Shi, what's wrong with General Shangguan?"

Shi Qian looked up and saw the general in the living room, he ran two steps excitedly, knelt down in front of the general and kowtowed: "General, save Lord Shangguan! In the afternoon, the last general and Lord Shangguan patrolled the poplar forest outside Loulan City with five hundred black-clothed iron horses. Lord Shangguan covered me to break out of the encirclement and returned to Loulan to move reinforcements. But now the military power is controlled by the eunuch Fu from the palace, the Fu Gonggong, he refuses to send troops to rescue Lord Shangguan, the last general can only come to ask the general, if the general does not save Lord Shangguan, then Lord Shangguan will definitely die in battle!"

After Huo Guang heard Shi Qian's cry, he immediately called for someone to bring his Howling Dragon Golden Silk Armor and Dragon Slaying Knife. Huo Guang put on his armor, rode on a white war horse, and raised the dragon slaying knife in his hand into the air: "The soldiers in the mansion, kill the enemy in front of the general!" "Obey the order! Kill the enemy with the general!" More than 100 dead soldiers in the general's mansion who followed the general's horse all their lives chanted in unison.

In the eyes of the more than 100 dead soldiers, there was only the general's order, and there was no bullshit at all about the emperor's holy decree! The Fu Gonggong in Shi Qian's mouth came with the last gold medal, and he read the holy decree in the barracks while the general was still on the sickbed. The meaning of the holy decree is that the general's military achievements are world-famous, and immediately after receiving the decree, he will go to Beijing to receive the reward, and the emperor will personally canonize the general as the protector of the country, and at the same time, the military power will be handed over to the Fu Gong to manage on his behalf. Just now, when Shi Qian begged Gonggong Fu to send troops to rescue the besieged Tang army, Gonggong Fu was originally ready to allow the troops to be dispatched, but as soon as he heard that the besieged person was Shangguanyi, the abacus in his heart started to fight.

In the army, Huo Guang's prestige is unmatched, and Huo Guang's right-hand man is Shangguan Yi, if he kills Shangguan Yi by the hands of the Qiuzi people this time, wouldn't it be an excellent thing? Besides, this is still a set of serial schemes, and Gonggong Fu roughly knows it! When he came, the emperor mentioned it slightly...

Huo Guang didn't have time to ponder Father-in-law's mind at this time, he waved the Earth Dragon Knife and rushed straight towards the Loulan City Gate. When the Loulan soldiers guarding the gate saw that the general was coming, they immediately opened the city gate and saluted.

Besides, the five hundred black-clothed iron horsemen led by Shangguan Yi were besieged in the poplar forest by two thousand turtles. This Qiuzi people have always been with the well water of the Loulan people do not interfere with the river water, and the purpose of their coming from afar this time is not Loulan, but the invincible army of the Tang Dynasty in Loulan City.

King Qiuzi is a martial man, he himself loves weapons, and he dreams of getting the "Tang knife" He wanted to exchange the trade between the two countries for the Tang knife, but the Tang Dynasty has a decree: "No one is allowed to trade weapons, Tang knives, armor, feather arrows...... It is forbidden to buy and sell, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Therefore, the king of Qiuzi thought of a desperate plan, he sent two thousand warriors with strong martial arts to disguise themselves as horse thieves in the Western Regions and traveled day and night, and after a long journey, they came to the poplar forest not far from Loulan City, and quietly ambushed them.

The Qiuzi people knew that the Tang Army's combat power was amazing, so they prepared to encircle and annihilate a patrol team of several hundred people. The plan of the Qiuci people was a one-time transaction, and the Tang Dynasty army would kill the patrol without noticing, and return to the Qiuci country with a valuable Tang sword. 2,000 people against 500 people, another ambush! The leader of the Qiuzi people, Biso, thought that he could kill all 500 Tang troops in just one cup of tea.

But Biso never expected that the patrols of the Tang army would be unimaginably tenacious and death-defying, and that Piso had now surrounded the remaining 100 or so Tang officers who were still alive, and he was ready to launch a general attack after making one last persuasion to surrender.

In fact, Peso was not very sure about this final attack, his two thousand Guizi warriors and five hundred Tang army patrols fought, and although more than three hundred Tang troops were killed in a fierce battle for more than an hour, more than 1,100 people were killed on his own side, if it was not for the ambush in advance, it was probably himself who was destroyed this time.

Peso recalled the whole course of the ambush, and after the Don army patrol entered the ambush circle, he ordered to shoot with a bow and arrow first......

Shangguan Yi and Shi Qian led five hundred black-clothed iron cavalry troops in the poplar forest on the outskirts of Loulan City, looking very casual. Yes, the Turks and the Moon Clan have long been frightened by the prestige of the general, and the stability around this Loulan is very good! From Shangguan Yi to ordinary soldiers, they are all very relaxed, and they never thought that there would be an enemy ambush.

The patrol outside Loulan City is also routine, and after a hasty patrol, you can collect the team and go back to Loulan City for dinner. Shangguan Yi rode a jujube red war horse and walked at the forefront of the team, he looked at the dense poplar trees around him and said with great emotion: "General Shi, sometimes I think, if only I were a poplar tree, I could not die for a thousand years, and even if I die, I can not fall down for a thousand years!"

Shi Qian smiled: "Why did your lord say this? Although the poplar tree can live for a thousand years, it can not make meritorious contributions in a lifetime and open up territory, so how can an adult be infinitely beautiful now? When the army returns to Beijing, with the merits of the adults, the adults will definitely be promoted to three levels in a row!"

Shangguan Yi looked back at Shi Qian, he shook his head blankly: "Officialdom has always been like a battlefield, you and I are both military generals, and it is the supreme glory of our soldiers to die on the battlefield, but there are not a few generals who fall under the butcher's knife of their own people!"

The military order was like a mountain, and the black-clothed iron cavalry dismounted. At this time, feathered arrows raining down from the poplar forests were fired at the Tang army patrol from several directions. Of course, there are at least a dozen arrows that take special care of Shangguanyi. Shangguan Yi commanded loudly while blocking the sharp arrows with the double swords in his hands: "The whole team is in a formation to defend, shield to cover, consume the enemy's feather arrows, and when the enemy is close to appear, shoot first and then slash!"

The Qiuzi people prepared two pots of arrows per man, which was double the standard ration and the maximum weight of the soldier's equipment. The purpose of the Qiuzi people's move was to kill the Tang army patrol with a rain of arrows. If Shangguan Yi hadn't reacted quickly and handled the scene properly, the Qiuzi people would have had to kill half of the Tang army under the first round of arrow rain strikes.
