At the foot of a towering snow-capped mountain.

Duan Zan knelt on the ground, throwing paper money into the fire, muttering something in his mouth, the cold wind swept by, startled the bonfire and scurried, hunting, and ashes flew all over the sky, as if he was telling something.

The campfire was full of human bones, but they were all complete, neat, and a little infiltrated in the sun, but Duan Zan didn't care, his eyes looking at the bones were full of guilt and remorse, and his mind kept flashing the scene of the retreat back then, remembering that the brothers after the break were unyieldingly backlashed.

Nearby, countless soldiers stood solemnly and silently.

Not long after, Cheng Chubi came in a hurry and said in a deep voice: "General Duan, mourn!" ”

Duan Zan nodded indifferently, got up, looked at the bones and said: "Brothers, I said that I would come to pick you up and go home, let you wait for a long time, come home with me, Hanzhou is our new home, there is a monument to heroes, it is your home, the place is very large and spacious, you will be satisfied with your stay." ”

A gust of wind blew, rolling up paper money and ashes all over the ground, dancing all over the sky, as if in response.

"Someone, everyone." Duan Zan looked at the brothers who were waiting around him.

Everyone nodded knowingly, walked up quickly, packed all the remains, and then fixed them on the war horses, Duan Zan reminded worriedly: "Slow down, be careful, don't hurt them." ”

"Don't worry, brothers!" Someone replied.

Duan Zan realized that he had gone too far, smiled and looked at Cheng Chubi: "Is there something wrong with General Luo?" ”

"General Luo said that we have fought a lot of battles in a radius of hundreds of miles, killed countless enemies, and captured the population, cattle and sheep cannot be counted, but we don't see Tubo to increase troops to support, could it be that Tubo can't take care of it? Let me ask you what you mean, you are familiar with Tibet, what do you think? Cheng Chubi asked rhetorically.

Duan Zan thought about it carefully, and also felt that something was wrong, it was impossible for Tubo to give up this area, and it was impossible not to know that this place was attacked, there was only one possibility, I couldn't take care of it, what was it that held Tubo back?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Duan Zan thought about it carefully, felt that it was very likely, and immediately said: "Could it be that the King of Han has already begun to attack Tubo, and he has put a lot of pressure on Tubo, so he can't take care of it here?" ”

"Since you think so too, the three of us think together, then there is a chance that General Luo means to let the wounded soldiers withdraw to Hanzhou with the spoils of war first, and the main force will stay and continue to fight in the hinterland of Tibet, and you will lead the people of the special operations army to be the vanguard to explore the way."

"No problem, General Luo is wise, let's kill it, maybe we can share some pressure for King Han." Duan Zhan agreed, his eyes becoming fanatical.

"Since you have decided not to withdraw the troops, then deal with the immediate matters as soon as possible and set off, if it is too late, you won't be able to get a big battle, you know the ability of King Han, you have to kill it quickly!" Cheng Chubi admonished.

"Newspaper—"

A scout Pegasus came, the war horse was running hot, it looked like a long journey, and the scout on horseback was also disgraced, and he pulled the war horse to stop, and shouted eagerly: "General Duan, I found a large tribe fifty miles to the east, gathering more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and is rushing towards us." ”

"Thirty thousand? Finally, a big fish came. Duan Zan looked at Cheng Chubi excitedly.

Cheng Chubi hurriedly said: "Let's go up first, look for favorable terrain to ambush, delay their speed, and never let them rush over to snatch the loot, I will return immediately to inform General Luo, and the main force will arrive later." ”

As he spoke, Cheng Chubi hurriedly got on his horse and roared away.

Trotting all the way, not long after a large valley appeared in front of me, and a huge army was stationed in the valley, tents and camps, and people shouted and neighed, so it was not lively.

Cheng Chubi rushed to the Chinese military tent, turned over and dismounted, and hurried in.

Luo Tong was eating barbecue meat around the bonfire with the soldiers, and when he saw Cheng Chubi coming back, he cut off a large piece and threw it over, and said with a smile: "How is General Duan's handling there?" ”

"I found a lot of bones, it's almost over, and in addition, a large tribe was found fifty miles to the east, and 30,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered to kill and rush over." Cheng Chubi hurriedly said.

"It's only 30,000, so it's not a big deal." Luo Tong said nonchalantly.

Cheng Chubi really don't have to worry about it carefully, when everyone came from Hanzhou, they brought 50,000 people, and they fought more and more, and now there are 80,000, and 30,000 captive soldiers are not soft at all to kill their own people, thanks to the tribal system of Tubo, as long as it is not a tribe, it is no different from the enemy, plus the reward and punishment system of the Hanzhou army is fair and just, and no one has complained about the captives so far.

80,000 people fighting 30,000 people, isn't it easy to capture?!

A thought flashed, and Cheng Chubi continued: "General Duan also thinks that the King of Han is attacking Tubo and dragging down a large number of Tubo troops, so there is no chance for the army to come, at most the major tribes will send some people over, such as 30,000 on the road, General Duan has already gone to ambush, delaying the speed, what should our army do?" ”

"There are many mountains around, and the cavalry can't be used, but it is suitable for fighting nearby, you take an army over, look for favorable terrain and arrange your pockets, and let General Duan find a way to lure the enemy over, eat it in one bite, the opportunity is given to you, whether you can win depends on your means, go."

"General Xie is complete, and he guarantees to complete the task." Cheng Chubi was overjoyed, leading an army to fight, and if he won the battle, he would have the opportunity to be promoted to army commander.

Soon, Cheng Chubi set off with 10,000 foot soldiers, mighty, and the formation stretched out for a long time on the winding mountain road.

In about half an hour, a canyon appeared in front of him, and the mountains on both sides were steep, Cheng Chubi ordered the team to stop advancing, sent people to investigate, and found that the canyon was a necessary place, and the enemy must also go here.

But the mountains are bare, at a glance, not conducive to the Tibetan soldiers, Cheng Chubi pondered for a while, or decided to ambush here, since it looks unfavorable to the Tibetan soldiers, the enemy will also think so, but can win by surprise.

All the officers above the regimental level gathered, and Cheng Chubi said bluntly: "Everyone, the canyon is not conducive to hiding soldiers, let's hide behind the mountain, farther away, and wait for the enemy to enter the canyon and then quietly touch it, but when the enemy enters the canyon halfway, our people can almost arrive, and ten thousand arrows will be fired to eat the enemy, is there any problem?" ”

Everyone carefully deliberated, the troops are far away and it is not easy to be exposed, and it is indeed a way to wait for the enemy to enter the canyon and then come over, 30,000 enemies are rushing together, the movement is very large, the footsteps of everyone coming over will be covered, it is not easy to be exposed, and it is completely possible to catch the enemy by surprise.

"Since you have no opinion, let's do it, and deploy a hidden position below." Cheng Chubi learned Qin Huaidao's method and drew a line on the ground, and then carefully explained which regiment was hidden in the canyon and which location, and how the troops were distributed in turn, and finally determined that the order flag was the number.

Once the command flag is erected, all departments must come as soon as possible, hide it, and put down the order flag together, and each department will shoot a wave of bows and arrows first, and then rush down to fight.

After discussing some details, they dispersed.

Not long after, the armies disappeared into the mountains on both sides of the canyon, and Cheng Chubi did not move, and decided to personally block the exit and let people notify Duan Zan to lure the enemy over.

The cold wind was fierce, but it couldn't extinguish the fiery battle spirit at Cheng.

The hand holding the horse lance tightened, and his gaze was firm and cold.
