Chapter 121: Wandering the Rivers and Lakes
Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan left Qinzhou City with Wen Wen, avoided the direction of Liangzhou City, which was being attacked by the Shuofang army and the Mole coalition army, and hurried to the Anxi Protectorate.
......
Wen Shou turned over and dismounted, and ordered to rest in place.
Ma Yu and Qian Tongfa surrounded them, and the three people of the Xuanzi group were on guard not far away.
The old man who has been responsible for serving Wen Shou in Longshan is named Wen Yan, who is assigned by the Wen family's parents, and he followed Wen Shou when he was a child, although no one has seen him show his martial arts, but his main duty is to protect the first person in Longshan Wenxiu, with the Wen family's heritage, no one dares to despise him.
Wen Shou took the map from Wen Yan's hand, and said to Ma Yu and Qian Tongfa: "The front is the jurisdiction of Shan Yu Duhufu, but it has been occupied by Tubo and Dajin, and the armies of the two sides are facing each other twenty miles apart. ”
"Hmm!" Qian Tongfa said, "the pursuers behind have been thrown away, and the scouts sent out to the front to reconnoiter will return before dark." ”
After this period of getting along, Qian Tongfa and Ma Yu were both impressed and admired by Wen Shou, and had no objection to his orders.
At that moment, Qian Tongfa and Ma Yu ordered the soldiers to rest for a while and wait for dark.
......
There are not many soldiers stationed in this area, after all, the two countries have not yet started a war, and each has left 2,000 soldiers and horses, and they are not the main elite soldiers, facing each other twenty miles apart.
The soldiers stationed here in Tibet and Dajin have been at peace these days, so both sides try not to disturb each other, and they do not want friction to occur until the commander gives the order to go to war.
Wen Shou just wanted to take advantage of the enemy's attitude to quickly pass through, as long as he passed this line of defense, more than a hundred miles ahead, the 30,000 troops and 30,000 Tubo troops in the Duhufu alone, as well as the 20,000 soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom, the three sides were still fighting, in that situation, Wen Shou could take more than 2,000 soldiers to fish in troubled waters.
......
The night was dark and the wind was high, and according to the scout's intelligence, Wen Shou ordered the soldiers to prepare for the third watch and move after half an hour.
Qian Tongfa led 200 people to the front army, Wen Shou suppressed the middle army, and Ma Yu led 500 people to break the rear. The three armies suppressed the formation and shortened the formation as much as possible.
The horses were silent, the soldiers were silent, and more than 2,000 people set off quietly.
After walking for more than half an hour, they entered the area of confrontation between the two sides, and everyone raised their vigilance and accelerated their advance.
In the dark, some soldiers from the Tubo Kingdom and the Dajin Kingdom also noticed the strangeness, but the commander of the army could not determine the identity of these people, so he had to order his subordinates to be on strict guard and did not dare to attack.
Before the sky was about to lighten, the group successfully crossed the first line of defense.
Walking to a safe place, Wen Shou ordered the soldiers to stop advancing, and the soldiers did not take off their armor and rested for a short time.
Fifty miles ahead is an important military town in Shan Yuduhufu, the Tubo State is attacking with all its might, and the garrison here is only 5,000 people, most of which have been damaged and are about to be lost.
"The army of the Tibetan country has more than 10,000 people, and we must help the garrison to relieve the siege. Wen Shou said as he opened the map and lined up the troops.
......
The leading army of the Tubo State, led by the commander, has surrounded the garrison regiment of the Anxi Protectorate here, and is now launching the main force to attack, and the opponent's position has been divided and cannot be echoed, and it seems that in another hour or two the other party can be completely annihilated.
Suddenly, a scout hurriedly came over to report, "Report to your lordship, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared in the rear, the number of which is about two thousand to three thousand,......
The scouts were reporting back, and there was a panic behind the position of the Tibetan army.
......
Qian Tongfa and Ma Yu led a thousand soldiers and horses to attack the back of the Tubo position from both wings, and Wen Shou led two hundred people to press back.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, the position of the soldiers of the Tubo State fell into chaos, and Qian Tongfa and Ma Yu led the troops and easily penetrated the positions of the soldiers of the Tubo State and disrupted the formation of the other party.
When the soldiers of the Tibetan State reacted and began to regroup, the two cavalrymen had already turned back and rushed over again.
Qian Tongfa has been fighting with the soldiers of the Tubo State for many years, and the soldiers of the Shuofang Army under him are also the elite of the Tang Empire, which can be compared with the Zhenbian Army, because the enemy is fighting with the garrison here, and the military spirit immediately collapsed in the face of this heavenly divine soldier.
Ma Yu has an extra scar on his face, which is much more fierce than before, and after the battlefield tempering in the past six months, he has also become very mature. The original hundreds of Shenwu Army soldiers have now become Wen Shou's personal guards, and Ma Yu leads another 1,000 Shuofang troops, whose combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of the Shenwu Army.
The governor of the Tubo State could not control the chaos in a panic, and saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to flee with hundreds of personal soldiers around him.
After these days of fighting, there were only about 1,500 people left, and the commander who led the troops found that the attacking enemy suddenly fell into confusion, and immediately seized this golden opportunity, and ordered all his subordinates to immediately concentrate on breaking through the siege and killing the soldiers of the Tubo State.
......
The defeat was like a mountain, and the soldiers of the Tubo country had no intention of fighting, with countless casualties, and they were attacked from both sides, and all of them lost their heart to resist.
Qian Tongfa understood the temperament of the soldiers of the Tubo State, and he was able to win battles, but he could not defeat battles! When faced with a winning situation, the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and once he faced a disadvantage, the army's morale was immediately discouraged.
Qian Tongfa and Ma Yu brought the leading soldier of the garrison, named Wu Qian, to meet Wen Shou together.
"In front of the order under the command of Captain Wu of the Metropolitan Protectorate, thank the general for saving his life!" Wu Qian's face was haggard, and his body was also scarred, and he knelt on the ground as he spoke, thanking Wen Shou and others for saving their lives.
Wen Shou hurriedly helped Wu Qian up, and said with a smile: "Captain Wu is polite! As a soldier of the Tang Empire, it is his duty to kill the enemy before the battle. ”
Wu Qian stood up and said politely, he didn't know how such an army suddenly appeared here.
Wen Shou chatted with Wu Qian for a while, and Wu Qian knew that it was actually the Shuofang Army in front of him, when Wen Shou led his troops to destroy the alliance between Geshuye and Tubo and Mole countries, and then turned to fight thousands of miles.
"Captain Wu, I don't know what you plan to do now?" Wen Shou looked at Wu Qian and asked, "Although the army of the Tubo Kingdom was defeated for a while, it will soon make a comeback, and when the time comes, Captain Wu is only afraid that it will be difficult to resist!"
Wu Qian said to Wen Shou very sincerely: "Back to General Wen, now that the Anxi Protectorate and the Shan Yu Protectorate have been eaten up by the enemy, the military order cannot be conveyed! If General Wen takes him in, his subordinates are willing to follow the general!"
