Crusade against Nanzhao - break the siege and martyrdom 3

Ju Xingyuan and Hezhemeng did not fight, and the Tubo soldiers were accustomed to fighting, and when they were first impacted, they retreated one after another, and after a little refreshment, they quickly stepped forward and closed.

Ju Xingyuan is not in love with war, and he reverses the bead curtain with one move, stabbing several times in a row, and forcing Hezhemeng back. A whistle sounded, and the horsemen gathered. Quickly retreat to the front of the battalion.

In this rush, the Juxingyuan horse soldiers did not lose a single person, but killed and wounded more than 100 enemy soldiers, giving the Tibetan soldiers and horses a dismount.

Hezhemeng was furious, and he was about to attack with his soldiers and horses, but the sound of drums sounded in the camp of the Tang army. The whole camp was filled with drums, and hundreds of people should have beaten the drums at the same time.

He Zhemeng was suspicious in his heart, hesitated and hesitated, he really didn't know whether to advance or retreat!

Suddenly, in the distance, the horse's hooves roared, and Li Hui, the deputy commander of the Tang Dynasty's conquest army, led a feint attack on Taihe City with 15,000 soldiers and horses to return to Dazhai.

Seeing that it was not the head, and that if he stayed any longer, he might be surrounded and annihilated, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops and rushed back to the Tubo camp.

Li Hui and Ju Xingyuan joined forces, and the two generals discussed with each other and determined that Tubo had no intention of attacking the Tang army camp. The Tang army besieged by Cangshan should be rescued as soon as possible.

Li Hui knows that Ju Xingyuan is brave and fierce, and he has both wisdom and strategy. So he immediately ordered Ju Xingyuan to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Cangshan to rescue.

He and Mu Yijie led 6,000 soldiers and horses to guard Dazhai.

Li Hui ordered the original Lingnan Road, Chao and Erzhou soldiers and horses to go to Cangshan to support.

Chao and Xun two state soldiers are indignant, it turns out that every time there is a battle in the past few days, Li Hui will order Chao and follow the soldiers and horses to fight, charge ahead, retreat behind the palace, the original 2,500 brothers, casualties are now only 7 or 800 people, and some brothers have to go into battle with injuries, miserable, currently led by Chaozhou Xiao General Cai Minzhong.

Ju Xing was far from knowing why, but when he saw the tide, the faces of the soldiers were angry and tired, so he ordered him to only need to guard the flanks and rear of the whole army and serve as a reserve force to nourish his strength.

After Ju Xingyuan joined Xia Yuqing and Bai Shuixiu's guard Tang Army, the army had reached more than 20,000 people, and the army was slightly revitalized.

Bai Shuixiu and Xia Yuqing agreed to stop, and the general Ju Xingyuan led more than a dozen military generals including Yan Jiming, Hun Ying and Chen Zhaoyuan to lead 15,000 troops and horses, and must capture the Hejiao Pass and respond to the defeat of the Tang army.

5,000 troops were stationed on both sides of the Jinxi Bridge, with opportunistic support. Five hundred soldiers and horses traveled to and from Dazhai to maintain the evacuation of wounded soldiers, grain and grass transportation and other miscellaneous affairs.

Ju Xingyuan led the army to sweep up the mountain, and met with the Tubo general Shi Taide who had been supported at the Crane Foot Pass, so the two sides fought a big battle, and the victory was not divided, Zhang Tongan and others could wait for the opportunity to break through the encirclement and go down the mountain to report the military situation.

Zhang Tongan and other generals met with Xia Yuqing, reported the situation on the mountain and the situation of the Hejiao Pass, and hoped that Xia Yuqing would quickly send troops to capture the pass in order to respond to the defeated Tang soldiers.

Bai Shuixiu looked at the geographical map, thought for a long time, and invited the generals to explain the strategy, and all the generals nodded their heads.

So Xia Yuqing sent envoys one by one, and the generals received orders and went separately.

Lin Mo regretted that the assignment had been decided, and seeing that the generals acted according to the plan, Zhou Dawu and others led the Tubo soldiers to the woods on the east side, and saw Zhang Tongan and other generals from a distance, most of them had rushed through the mountain pass, and suddenly felt at ease in his heart, so he turned back to visit the injuries of Ming Xiang and the wounded soldiers, and discussed with the generals about breaking through later.

While he was talking, He Yuzhi and Qi Yunfei led the Tang Army warriors to arrive.

He Yuzhi and Qi Yunfei waited for the Tang army behind the palace, and along the way, they collected the remnants of the Tang army, and even gathered more than 100 people, but only 70 or 80 people were not injured.

This group of Tang troops was hidden and immovable regardless of whether they encountered a large or small group of Tubo patrol warriors, and General He and Qi Er believed that it was far more important to annihilate the traces of the Tang army such as Lin Mocheng at present than to annihilate the Tubo army, so unless the Tubo soldiers had something to endanger the retreating Tang army, in order to avoid complications, even a small group of Tubo soldiers were released.

The sky is endless, and the heavy rain rains from the sky have washed away many traces of the Tang army's escape, so there is no Tubo army tracking Lin Mocheng and He Yuzhi and others who have fled the Tang army, so the Tang army led by Lin Mocheng was able to escape here, and they were not blocked by the Tubo army.

He Yuzhi and the other Tang Jun tracked down the secret marks left by Lin Mocheng along the way, and after all the hardships, they finally found Lin Mocheng and the others.

When the generals of Jiangnan Xidao saw He Yuzhi and other generals returning, they all stepped forward to congratulate, Lu Peiye saw that He Yuzhi was safe and sound, and he was ecstatic in his heart but knew that He Yuzhi's anger had not disappeared, and he must have touched a nail when he stepped forward to congratulate him, so he took a step forward and stopped, or wait for him to be angry and then tell him clearly...

He Yuzhi saw that Lu Peiye did not come to congratulate him on his survival, and he did not feel good in his heart, so he ignored Lu Peiye and went straight to find Lin Mo to regret it.

Jiang Yangying led He Yuzhi and Qi Yunfei to Lin Mozhi and Mingxiang.

Ming Xiang and Lin Mo were very relieved to see that He Yuzhi was unharmed, and asked about the situation of Zou and Bai, He Yuzhi said that in order to protect the retreat of the wounded soldiers, they voluntarily led the enemy soldiers to other places, and their lives and deaths are uncertain at present.

Jiang Yangying heard that Bai Qianyue was left in the mountains and his life and death were unknown, and a trace of revenge flowed in his heart, but his face showed a regretful and sad expression.

Ming Xiang thanked them for their loyalty and bravery, and saw the embarrassed and miserable appearance of the wounded of the defeated army, he couldn't help lying on the stretcher, sighed, and said, "We have a dignified army of 80,000 people in the southern expedition, and the soldiers are fierce, and the grain and grass are complete. This Nanzhao is not a big country with rich people and strong soldiers, how could we fail so miserably? Falling into such an embarrassing situation? After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Seeing that the battle situation was so unbearable, the generals of the Tang Army had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they also shook their heads and sighed!

Just as the Tang army was lamenting the defeat of the army, Lin Mo repented and rushed to the spies who were stationed in the rear.

The spies reported: "Report to Marshal Ming and General Lin, about ten miles behind our army, dozens of defeated soldiers of our army have fled, and the Tibetan army of about thousands is chasing and sweeping from the rear all over the mountains, and we are about to reach our hiding place in a blink of an eye. 」

Lin Mo regretted that the others were shocked.

Lin Mo hurriedly said, "Explore again! 」

The spy said, "Yes! He immediately turned around and ran back to continue his exploration.

Lin Mo thought regretfully: Seeing that the situation is in crisis, he can no longer wait for Zhang Tongan's return. Today, either the fish dies or the net is broken, and the only way to survive is to fight hard and survive in death, and the whole army has no way to retreat.

According to Lu Peiye's strategy, due to the sudden arrival of the soldiers from Tubo to aid Nanzhao, the Tang army that crusaded against Nanzhao could only learn the general news and the rough configuration of the Tubo army from the captured Tubo soldiers.

Lin Mo repented and ordered Diao Chengcai, a military general of the Tang Army who was accustomed to fighting in Jiannan Province, who knew Tubo language, as a leading officer, pretending to be a Tubo soldier to escort the wounded soldiers and Tang army prisoners, falsely claiming that it was the soldiers of the Tubo general Wolf Ma who led the prisoners to the general Shi Tide under the mountain to handle the delivery and escort the Tang army back to the Tubo army Dazhai.
