Section 9 Existence

The army exceeded 10,000 and moved the heavens. The movement of the Tibetan army through Weishui will naturally not be small. Although the Tubo people came quickly, they couldn't bear the beauty of the heavens, Weishui entered the Ling period early, and the river was full of ice floes, which would be frozen but not frozen.

Such a situation is the saddest river. If the river is frozen, then the two banks of Weishui are the thoroughfare, but they are not frozen. In fact, pontoon bridges can also be erected on Weishui and transported by boat, but the river is full of ice floes, and if you are not careful, the boat will be damaged.

As for the ready-made ships, most of them had already been moved to the shore to avoid the ice, and the Tibetan army gathered the existing ships and prepared to build pontoon bridges.

The pontoon bridges that originally connected the two sides of the Weishui River were also demolished by the local government and the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the Tubo people had to drive the craftsmen to do their own food and clothing.

Of course, if Langdarma can take the Tibetan boy to learn the light skill of crossing the river with a reed, it will be a solution for everyone to fly across the Wei River with war horses and baggage.

Rondarma chose the most upright and simple method, building the bridge. All the boats collected were assembled to build a pontoon bridge.

After the death of one hundred and eighty Tibetan athletes, Langdarma finally repaired the pontoon bridge, but the army of more than 10,000 people crossed the river from seven places, and it took a lot of effort to count the ordnance and baggage, horses and beasts carried.

The Tibetan army was divided into seven routes and crossed the river through pontoon bridges from different locations, and it took a whole day of work to cross the Weishui and reach the south bank where the heroes of the rivers and lakes were.

Counting the time spent collecting ships to repair bridges and preparing the army to cross the river, it took the Tibetan army two or three days to reach the south bank of Weishui from the vicinity of Wugong County.

For such a long time as a buffer, the people of Jianghu had already abandoned the camp on the south bank of Weishui, burrowed into the primeval forest of Zhongnan Mountain, and retreated in the direction of Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu in great strides.

This time, the Tibetan army sent out to sweep the Jianghu people south of Weishui, and the main force of the army was the subordinates of the monk Zangpu Langdama. Prime Minister Shang Dongzan was a little disheartened because of Li Xu, saying that he was unwilling to participate in more military activities, and he was arguing every day that he could collect troops and go home.

Shang Dongzan also really had a bit of the spirit of unity of knowledge and action, he divided the remaining people of his headquarters into several divisions, pressed the captured booty and artisan slaves along the Weishui and returned to Qinzhou, and then took the remaining more than 5,000 personal elites to Langdama to watch the family.

Tubo Zampu has always been able to pull and fight these big nobles. Langdarma had no choice but to put up with his temper for the time being, endured Shang Dongzan's deep performance, and took Shang Weire, who was still a little motivated, to deal with the rabble on the south bank of Weishui.

Then Rhondarma met the tactician master Faxin.

The Dangxiang people who came east with the Tibetans had always been known for their fierce and swift light cavalry, and their light cavalry tactics from the Turks greatly made up for the lack of cavalry of the Tibetan army.

As soon as he crossed the river, Langdama sent an elite party light cavalry to sweep the entire south bank of Weishui, looking for the direction where the main force of the Jianghu people was, looking for an opportunity to launch a battle and solve the flank threat on the south bank with a decisive word.

The party members quickly brought back the detected information, and there was no mysterious army on the entire south bank of Weishui, as if the mysterious army that threatened the flank of the Tubo army hid in the mountains to the south, and there was no trace of them on the plain.

In the art of war, it has always been said that "every forest does not enter", which does not mean that it is necessary to guard against possible ambushes of the enemy in the old forest, but that the jungle terrain will seriously affect the organization of the army. Dense trees not only affect the speed of transportation of supplies, but also increase the transportation loss of baggage.

Patches of trees would also cut the formation of the army, obscuring the flag and affecting the sound of the golden drum, depriving a commander of almost all the command tools at his disposal, and the march of the troops depended entirely on luck.

Of course, Langdama can also carry forward the spirit of hard work of the engineers like crossing the Weishui, and build a road for the people of Dayu in the old forest of Zhongnan Mountain, but then he will not find any trace of the mysterious army.

Langdama looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and without thinking about it, he ordered the whole army to retreat, cross Weishui again, and go to Wugong County. On the return trip of Langdarma, the weather was good, a cold snap hit, the entire Weishui was frozen, and the whole river could gallop through the car, but the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and some sergeants were infected with the wind cold.

As soon as the Tibetan army had collectively crossed the frozen Weishui River and was about to return to the camp, new news came from the scouts.

The mysterious army on the south bank of Weishui has reappeared.

The primeval forest of Zhongnan Mountain is a troublesome rotten land for the Tubo army, but it is nothing to the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

Trees everywhere affect logistics and baggage? I'm sorry, we Jianghu people have never had any logistics, we drink a few mouthfuls of mountain springs when we are thirsty, and nibble on dry food when we are hungry.

Then find some mushrooms and wild vegetables, hit a few future protected animals, cut a few precious trees as firewood, burn mushroom soup and roast some meat to eat, no matter how hard the days are, you have not experienced it, and now this day is already good.

As for saying that the trees cover up the banner and affect the command? That's even more sorry, we Jianghu people don't have any command, and the disciples under the disciples sometimes don't even listen to the greetings of the head of the sect.

The rabble composed of the people of the rivers and lakes did not have the worries of the Tibetan army, and they completed the magical battle plan of retreating 150 miles and setting up an ambush in the primeval forest of Zhongnan Mountain.

When the Shaolin lay disciples who stayed behind as spies came the news that the Tubo army had given up the pursuit of crossing the river to the north, Master Fa Xin, a tactical genius, did not discuss with Du Zhibei, and immediately ordered the whole army to turn around, end the pleasant camping life, stop the uncivilized behavior of destroying the primeval forest, and reappear on the south bank of Weishui.

Master Fa Xin's tactics are actually similar to those of the famous British general Montgomery in World War II, and the chief Yan Xishan Yan who danced on three eggs.

That is, everything is for existence, and existence is everything.

The tactics of the Faxin monks are to avoid any form of frontal contact, I will leave if you come, I will come when you leave, anyway, these Jianghu people will not shed their own blood, just get together to scare people, there is no need to do something that makes both parties unhappy.

Jianghu people participated in such an action organized by Faxin and Du Shubei, more than half of them were for fame and fortune, and the remaining part was forced by the situation in the rivers and lakes, and if they didn't come, they would be looked down upon by their peers.

As for the feelings and consciousness of the family and the country, there are yes, but not much. really want to protect the territory and the Republic of China, and the people, these Jianghu people have already gone to serve the country from the army, and they should be loud and quiet.

Therefore, these people sincerely support Master Faxin's tactics and practice them wholeheartedly.

So when Langdarma was about to lead the troops back, he received a new report, and the army of Yu appeared on the south bank of Weishui again.

"It's out again?" Shang Fearrea asked the scout who brought the news, "Didn't they burrow into the Zhongnan Mountain?" ”

"Go back, Zampu. Our party members are willing to be the vanguard of the whole army. "The leader of the Dangxiang tribe, Tuoba Hongye, shows loyalty to Langdarma, which is also the trick of their small tribes to survive, always standing by the side of the strongest.

Langdarma was very calm at this time, he knew very well that at this time, a horse pistol might not be able to catch the Yu army on the south bank of Weishui, maybe his forward had just crossed the frozen river of Weishui, and those rats on the south bank immediately hid in the old forest of Zhongnan Mountain.

The army has already tossed and turned, and many sergeants have been infected with the wind cold, and if they turn around and go south again at this moment, the morale of the troops will also change.

"I'll take the party's light horse. Shang Phobia's statement resolved Zampu's doubts. "Zampu led the brigade back to the barracks, and I took the light cavalry on the south bank to prevent them from coming, and now the river is frozen, and it is only a moment to cross the river. ”

Rhondarma nodded, and that was all there was to it for now. The soldiers and horses of the Yu State in the south cannot be shaken off like a plaster, and when the whole army retreats, it will inevitably bring a lot of pressure to the Tubo army, and now the division of troops is also a last resort.

Langdarma ordered someone to call Li Sizhong, the leader of another party member, over and give them a face-to-face lecture.

"The two of you each rode lightly on the south bank with Shang Fear, keeping an eye on the movements of the Yu army. Rhondarma's order made Li Sizhong feel a little unhappy. He is different from Tuoba Hongye, who actively stood in line, and this time he followed the Tubo people to pick up the bargain.

Now that he wants to stay in the south of Weishui, in addition to fighting with Yu Jun's real swords and guns, it also means that he has nothing to do with the next robbery, how can Li Sizhong be happy?

However, he still didn't dare to refuse Zampu's request, and immediately expressed his willingness to follow Tuoba Hongye to the south bank of Weishui to serve Tubo with Shang Yure.

The light cavalry of the party is fierce and fast, and Shang is also a famous general with rich military experience, and Langdarma is still more at ease with this combination.

"I will leave four gurus to assist you. Langdarma said to Shang Fear: "You keep an eye on them for me, seize the opportunity, and destroy them all." ”

While Langdarma was giving an explanation, a troop of cavalry galloped in from the direction of the main battalion, and they held aloft the banner of Shang Dongzan, apparently with some urgent military information to report.

Zampu's bodyguard warriors let them go, and the young nobleman Langdarma who led them still had the impression that he was called Bodhi Liuzhi, an illegitimate son of Shang Dongzan.

Of course, Rhondarma looked at Shang Phobia with a complicated expression around him, and Zampu remembered that this child could also be Shang Phobia's bloodline.

The young nobleman rode to the place where the banner of Zampu was, turned over and dismounted, and brought bad news to Langdarma's eyes.

"Zampu, it's not good. Shang Wanwan's entire army was defeated by the Fengxiang army, and the whereabouts of Shanzhou Jiedu are unknown. ”
