The 707th Battle of Haichuan

The battle of this coyote mountain has not yet been in full swing, and the people who learn from the scriptures have captured all three brothers of this coyote beast. Seeing the official army marching all the way, General Shang Wenhu, who was the god of war of the Tu Domain, decided to mobilize all his men and horses to fight a counterattack in the Haichuan area, and invited the five generals of ghost hunting wolf, slaughtering wolf, tiger hunting wolf, tyrannical hunting wolf, and kui hunting wolf to the big tent of the Chinese army on the Haichuan front line to discuss the next full-scale attack battle plan.

This time, the ghost wolf hunting was ordered by the Water Beast Heavenly King to lead his brothers and 100,000 wolf beasts and demons to come to help General Shang Wenhu annihilate the Tang Dynasty scriptures and officials and soldiers. After seeing General Shang Wenhu, he said to the general: "This scripture learner is really too hateful, the three coyote beast brothers were annihilated by them overnight, and the entire 100,000 wolf beast demon brothers are gone, this time we must annihilate the scripture learners and the official army in the Haichuan area in one fell swoop, and everything is subject to the general's orders." ”

After listening to the words of this ghost hunting wolf, Shang Wenhu, as the commander of the whole army, didn't pay much attention to the annihilation of the three coyote beast brothers. Because he knew that these wolves and beasts had harmed countless Tufan people, and it would be a scourge to leave them sooner or later, but since the Tang Dynasty officials and soldiers stepped into the territory of Tufan, they were pressing him step by step, so he still had to use these wolves, beasts and demons, just borrowing the hands of people who learned scriptures, to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman. According to his own ideas, General Shang Wenhu proposed to put the official army in to fight, in the Haichuan Gorge area, the official army was wiped out in one fell swoop, in order to complete this combat intention, someone must act as a bait to lead the enemy, this person chose the wolf beast demon is the most suitable. In this way, this important combat mission was handed over to the ghost wolf.

After receiving the military order, in order to fulfill his duties, the ghost hunting wolf led his brothers all the way to the official army, and launched a battle plan of fighting and retreating.

This time, Generalissimo Guo Xin, who was the commander of the official army, quickly got the battle report, and the wolf beast demon came straight to the official army. After getting the news, he rode on a war horse and came to the wolf beast demon array to watch under the protection of all the masters and apprentices. After several reconnaissances, in order to test the enemy's combat intentions, he asked his adjutant general, General Yang Hu, to lead 5,000 soldiers to attack. As a result, the ghost hunting wolf was bent on pinning down the official army to the valley area, so he let the hunting wolf attack, after several attacks and killings, the slaughtering wolf could have defeated this group of officers and troops, but the result was a fiasco, so that the generalissimo Guo Xin saw the flaw, and saw that the wolf beast demon began to retreat, so he ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, strengthen defense, without their own military orders, no one is allowed to fight without authorization. Afterwards, Yang Zhilie, Zhang Yichao, Yang Hong, Shang Wenlong, Chi Liesong, Chi Lietong, Dazaree, and several generals and marshals and all the masters and apprentices who learned from the scriptures were summoned to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss the next battle plan.

Seeing that all the generals were coming, the generalissimo Guo Xin said: "As the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, this marshal knows that he has a heavy responsibility and cannot use troops easily. Today I was watching the battle in the front army, and found that this wolf beast demon could have annihilated my lieutenant general in one fell swoop, but as a result, he had no intention of destroying the enemy, and when he saw that the fire was almost the same, he began to retreat in the direction of the valley, so this commander expected that there must be an ambush in the valley ahead. Therefore, the generals invited today are to discuss together who should go out to meet the enemy next and destroy the enemy in front of them. ”

After listening to the words of the generalissimo Guo Xin, as the brother of the enemy general commander Shang Wenhu, the general Shang Wenlong spoke first, and said to several commanders: "The area ahead is called Haichuan Canyon, where the terrain is complex, and there are valleys everywhere for ambush warfare. My second brother Shang Wenhu is good at using soldiers, and he will definitely be here to make all preparations and wait for us to take the bait. These wolf, beast and demon generals came to provoke the official army, presumably deliberately arranged by the second brother, in order to let us chase and kill us into the valley, so as to catch us all. This valley ambush battle can be described as a lot of bad luck, so when we don't have accurate information, we must not rush forward, otherwise we will definitely suffer a big loss, the terrain here is not even familiar to me, only my second brother Shang Wenhu knows the terrain here well, so he will definitely be here to prepare for the ambush decisive battle of the official army. ”

After listening to the words of General Shang Wenlong, Yang Hong, the cold-blooded god of war, stood up and said to the commander Guo Xin: "I don't believe in this evil, with our 500,000 people, will it be blocked by these canyons." The officers and soldiers must kill this place, and let those generals who dare to resist us know that the Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers are invincible, invincible, and invincible, and all resistance is in vain. The commander is willing to lead 100,000 elite soldiers in his headquarters to attack the valley and wipe out the remnants of the Tu clan in one fell swoop. ”

After Guo Xin heard Generalissimo Yang Hong's words, he said to the generals: "Our troops are not here to attack the city and seize the land, but to rescue the people of Tufan, so that the king of the Tufan Domain, Chisong Dezan Zanpu, can govern himself as soon as possible, so that Tufan and the Tang Dynasty can be reconciled forever." Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to indiscriminately kill innocents in the treatment of all Tuvassal soldiers, and it is necessary to focus on appeasement and compensation. I think this General Shang Wenhu is an extremely rare general, if you can recruit this person, it will definitely play an important role for our official army to enter the Tu Domain, as long as those who are willing to submit to my Tang Dynasty The generals of the Tu Dynasty will come to surrender to Cheng after seeing hope, and at that time we will recover some cities, which is a matter of course. Therefore, Zhao'an, Shang Wenhu, will become our top priority in Tufan, this battle of Haichuan, we must fight, and the enemy commander Shang Wenhu must be captured alive, it is best to outwit. ”

After hearing the boss Guo Xin say this, Shang Wenlong stood up and opened his mouth and said: "The last general is willing to go to the canyon to find his second brother to persuade him to surrender, it is expected that the second brother will read for the sake of a compatriot, and it will not be difficult for himself, until I reconnoiter the troop deployment map of the canyon and get important information, the official army will launch a surprise attack on Shang Wenhu's main army, and at that time, I will help the officers and soldiers to capture my second brother and let him serve the Tang Mingjun." ”

After listening to Shang Wenlong's words, Generalissimo Guo Xin thought that this plan was very good, in order to prevent the Wolf Beast King from secretly harming General Shang Wenlong, he asked Xuantong Liu'er and Golden Silk King Monkey Ersheng to become two entourages to help him go to the enemy camp, and send out important information at any time to lay the foundation for the next move of the official army. After everything was arranged in this way, Shang Wenlong, under the protection of the two saints of Xuantong Six Ears and Golden Silk King Monkey, walked into the canyon and began to look for Shang Wenhu's whereabouts.

After Shang Wenlong led two guards to appear in the canyon on war horses, the ghost wolf spotted them. When he saw Shang Wenlong, who was dressed in the armor of the Tu Clan's soldiers, he flew up to them and asked them who they were. After hearing this, the ghost hunting wolf realized that General Shang Wenlong had already taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty official army, and it seemed that this time you were sent to death, so he said to the three of them: "I am the one I arrested, and this king can have a good meal today." Give me a hand to cook them alive and eat meat. After hearing the king's words, the wolf beast demon rushed towards General Shang Wenlong with his weapon. Xuantong Liu'er saw that the wolf beast demon wanted to harm General Shang Wenlong, so he used their ability with the golden silk king monkey junior brother, and killed more than a dozen wolf beast demons in a few battles of three strikes and five divisions.

When the ghost hunter saw that these two Tuvan soldiers had killed his own soldiers, he scolded loudly: "You are so bold. After finishing speaking, he used his skills to start a fierce battle with the two saints. As a result, they fought for hundreds of rounds in the valley without a win. At this time, Shang Wenhu, who was preparing for the war, noticed them above the canyon, and after a closer look, he found that it was his brother Shang Wenlong, so he quickly rode a war horse and came to his brother, and then shouted: "Stop." In this way, the two sides stopped fighting fiercely.

Shang Wenlong was very happy to see that his second brother was still so strong after not seeing him for many days. said to the second brother: "Second brother, you are getting younger and younger. After hearing this, Shang Wenhu said to his brother: "You have already reported the ambush I set up in this canyon to Guo Xin, the commander of the official army, otherwise they will let you enter the valley alone." It seems that the two Tuvan soldiers you led are extraordinary, what are you doing to come to me this time? If you have the ability, let the generals of the official army fight me in the canyon, and I will wait for them to fight. ”

After hearing the second brother say this, Shang Wenlong said to the second brother: "Second brother, don't be obsessed anymore, our father Zhong Ba colluded with Emperor Qi Tian to kill me, and now only the Tang Dynasty officials and people can save us." When our lord Trisong Detsen takes over the government, the people of Tufan will naturally live a good life. Only then can we become good generals for the revitalization of the Great Tu Domain, and this is what we should do as courtiers. After listening to his brother's words, Shang Wenhu still didn't believe what his brother said, and said to his brother: "The Tang Dynasty official army's march into Tufan this time is to avenge our invasion of the Western Regions. It is only a matter of time before our lord Tsangpu King Tri Song Detsen is in power, and as for the father of the country, Chung Ba Jie is even more kind to us, and he is loyal to King Tri Song Detsen. Since you descended to Tang, your parents have missed you day and night, and they have a strange disease. If it weren't for Zhong Bajie giving medicine to his parents, I'm afraid that our parents would have died a long time ago, and you wouldn't have seen them. ”

After hearing this, Shang Wenlong knew that his parents were sick, and he was very sad in his heart. At this time, Xuantong Liu'er reminded him on the side and said, "I'm afraid that the strange illness of your parents and parents is inseparable from the Water Beast Heavenly King and Zhongba Jie. After the official army recovers the city, my junior brother Tianshan Snow Monkey will naturally treat your parents for an incurable disease. Upon hearing this, Shang Wenlong's mouth suddenly opened, and he firmly believed that Zhong Bajie must harm his parents together with the Water Beast Heavenly King. In order to save his parents, he said bitterly to his second brother: "Second brother, we are compatriots, how can we kill each other here, no matter which side wins, what flows is the blood of our spit soldiers, such a battle can no longer be fought, you should wake up, don't be obsessed anymore." After hearing this, Shang Wenhu was a little emotional, but he had made all the preparations, just waiting for the officers and soldiers to come in, how could he give up such an excellent opportunity, so he issued an ultimatum to his brother and said to his brother: "You don't have to say more, if you continue to talk, I will shoot you to death in the canyon for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army." With that, he ordered the marksman to prepare.

Xuantong Liu'er saw that Shang Wenhu couldn't listen to the advice at all, in order to protect General Shang Wenlong, he had to let the younger brother of the Golden Silk King Monkey protect General Shang Wenlong and leave first, and he began to carry out a comprehensive reconnaissance of Shang Wenhu's troop deployment, and flew into the air to conduct reconnaissance and mapping.

According to the instructions of the senior brother, the golden silk king monkey protected General Shang Wenlong and withdrew from the canyon, and then Xuantong Liuer flew back to the official army station, and handed over the drawn troop deployment map to Generalissimo Guo Xin, and the official army began to formulate the next battle plan for the deployment of enemy troops in this canyon.

After looking at this picture for a long time, the loyal and righteous monkey thought that this picture must be fraudulent, so he opened his mouth and said: "It is impossible for that ghost hunting wolf not to prevent us from entering the valley to investigate, so everything we see must be fake." In this case, we will lead the monkey soldiers and monkey generals into the valley first, and have a big battle. After attracting all the main legions of wolves, beasts and demons, the master attacked them unprepared and entered the canyon to eliminate the demons. As long as these wolves, beasts and demons are annihilated, the monkey soldiers will quickly seize the fighter and launch a full-scale attack on the canyon, I expect that Shang Wenhu will definitely withdraw from the canyon in order to preserve his strength. At that time, we will find another opportunity to continue to persuade them to surrender, after all, we do not want to see the two brothers kill each other. ”

After listening to the words of the loyal and righteous monkey, Generalissimo Guo Xin felt that this plan was feasible. In order to preserve the strength of the official army, he agreed to let the high-ranking disciples go into the valley first. In this way, all the masters and apprentices showed their ability to kill into the valley. When the ghost hunter saw that the scripture hunter was coming to die, he led the four brothers of the wolf slaughter, the tiger wolf, the tyranny wolf, and the kui wolf hunter to launch a full-scale attack on the scripture hunter. As a result, the mana of the high-ranking disciples was extremely strong, and although they had a geographical advantage, the combat power of the wolf beast demon could not be compared with that of the high-ranking disciples. After several battles and bloody battles, there were heavy casualties. This ghost hunting wolf led the four brothers of slaughtering wolf, tiger hunting wolf, tyrannical hunting wolf, and kui hunting wolf to display their skills to fight to the death. As a result, he was trapped in the Tianxuan Demon Capture Array by all the high-ranking disciples, and after hundreds of rounds of hard fighting, he was taken away by Master Huaizhi. Then thousands of monkey soldiers will attack the Tufan army.

This Shang Wenhu saw that the wolf beast demon had been defeated, and the combat effectiveness of the monkey soldiers and monkey generals was extremely strong. The fighters had been lost, and in order to preserve their strength and continue to resist the official army, they had to order to withdraw from the canyon. In this way, the Battle of Haichuan was declared a failure due to the intervention of all the masters and apprentices, and Shang Wenhu had to lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to the Zhelong area to continue preparing for the war.
