Red Tang

Updated: 2013-01-06

The first line of defense built by the Tang army is located at the junction of the two vertical alleys of Shuanglong Valley, which is a natural gap. [ ]

Although the trenches more than ten feet wide cannot completely block the Tubo people who have renewed their fighting spirit, they can slow down the speed of the Tubo people's attack very well.Shuanglong Valley looks like an inverted gourd from a distance, and this ditch is the neck of the gourd.The spacious and open valley narrowed rapidly at this trench, only allowing more than a hundred people to pass through at the same time.

Although the absolute strength of the Tibetans had a clear advantage, they had to be divided into hundreds of troops to pass through this narrow trench.In this way, their numerical advantage disappeared, and they could only risk the soles of their feet being stabbed by the gravel to fight one-on-one with Tang Jun.

Relying on the advantages of the terrain, the Tang army first used feather arrows to kill and injure the enemy army to dampen their spirit; when most of the Tubo people entered the trench, they sprinkled tung oil and ignited a wall of fire to stop the enemy army.After this strategic deployment, more than half of the 2000 Tubo soldiers who were the vanguard were killed or injured.It was difficult for the soldiers to climb up after jumping into the trench, and they were often burned to a pile of ashes before touching the soles of Tang Jun's feet.The Tubo commander knelt down at the feet of Governor Eszang of Jiuqu, crying and shouting, begging for enough reinforcements.On the one hand, Eszang was angry at the commander's incompetence, and on the other hand, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Tang Jun.After thinking about it, he still allocated [-] people to the commander and ordered him to take down the trench within half an hour, otherwise he would come to see him.

The commander was so frightened that he ran to the front of the ditch and pushed all the troops into it without doing anything.Maybe the enemy's kerosene was exhausted, or the Tang people's feather arrows were exhausted. When everyone was about to climb the gentle slope covered with gravel, the Tang army suddenly called gold to withdraw their troops and retreated to the rear.

On the one hand, the Tubo commander was glad that he had completed the task, but on the other hand, he also hated the Tang people for retreating without a fight.Burned to death, shot to death thousands of his brothers, and just fled without saying a word?

It's just that he didn't have time to think about these twists and turns. The Governor gave an order, and the Tubo Central Army immediately climbed to the trench with a team of thousands.The ambush expected by all the officers did not occur. From the first soldier jumping into the trench to the last soldier climbing up the slope, the Tang army did not shoot a feather arrow from the beginning to the end!

Could it be that the Tang people really withdrew their troops?

No way!How could they give up so easily after rushing all the way to Jiuqu City?

"Pass down my general's order, everyone marching carefully to protect Zanpu's safety!" Governor Eszan frowned, and finally gave the order to set off.

......

In the middle of the night, the veterans in the Tongwu Battalion were all hungry and tired.The fierce battle drained their strength, and the gruel and chewed mustard biscuits they ate at noon were not enough to fill their stomachs!

Exhaustion and sleepiness were written all over their faces, but no one complained.Because they know that they can't retreat, victory or defeat is in this battle, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

retreat?Where to retreat?Behind them is Shibao City, the Thirteen Prefectures of Longyou, the township party and relatives of Datang!Do you want tens of thousands of men to unload their armor and welcome the barbarians into China?Do we want them to tell their women and children ashamedly that we are worthless and unable to protect you, so we have to send you to the Tibetans?

Besides, is the purpose of the Tubo people just to occupy Longyou?They really have the ambition to carve up the Great Tang!

This battle is no longer for one family and one surname, but for Datang, for thousands of ordinary people in Datang!

To keep this pass is to keep the possibility of Datang recovering Hehuang, and to keep the hope of the people of Tang to avenge their shame!

The Battle of Dafeichuan has become an eternal pain in the hearts of every Tang army soldier, and they will not let the tragedy happen again!

A man's duty is to protect!Guard your wife, children, home and everything that is precious and worth cherishing!

Why?Just rely on the horizontal knife in their hands, just rely on a bow, a pot of arrows!

A man should kill someone, kill one person in ten steps, and never stay behind for thousands of miles! (Note 1) Even a literati like Li Taibai said that, as a soldier who defends his homeland, how can he be underestimated?

The person who killed was not someone else, but an enemy, a sworn enemy!Tens of thousands of heroic spirits of Paoze and the Xiangdang are watching from the sky, how can everyone not be a man for a while?

Compared with the depth and insurmountability of the trench, this deer firewood temporarily built with dead wood looks a little weak.Thousands of white wolf warriors were ambushed on the stone platforms on both sides of Luchai. With a single command, thousands of arrows could be fired to deal an effective blow to the Tubo people.But even so, the pressure on the Tongwu veterans to deal with it head-on is still not small.After all, there are tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side. After all, they are Tubo people who are famous for their fierceness and bravery!

"Lieutenant Li, Captain Du really only asked us to guard for three hours?" Pu Dachui stared at Li Sheng in disbelief, his eyes staring straight into ripe jujubes.

"Three hours, after three hours, even if the Tubo people did not break through Luchai, we will still 'lose' to Suishigouer." Li Sheng nodded and said softly.

"I'm afraid of a ball. With my old Pu here, I won't let a barbarian slip by. If they think about it, they will step over my old Pu's body!" Pu Dahammer complained angrily, with the smell of gunpowder in his words full.At first, the trenches were abandoned, and now the deer firewood is abandoned. Where are they going to retreat, where are they going to hide?

Li Sheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Of course I know that General Pu is very brave, but since the captain has given the order, we will carry it out. I think you know this better than me. Besides, the captain Your lord's resourcefulness must be a trick, we just need to do what we should do."

"Alas!" Pu Dahammer's chest was full of depression, and he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "My old Pu is most annoyed by those twists and turns you made. If you want me to talk about fighting, you should fight with swords and swords to see whose weapons are better and whose fists are stronger. !"

"So, this task will be handed over to Brother Sledgehammer!" Li Sheng didn't want to tangle with him, and simply agreed to a small favor.

"Then you can see how my old Pu killed people!" Pu Dahammer raised his eyebrows, his voice full of confidence.

"There is fire, there is fire!" A scout saw the sparks in the distance, and hurriedly shouted.Normally speaking, the trench is not far from the second Luchai line of defense, and it will not take so long for the Tubo people to arrive here.However, considering their tens of thousands of people and their concerns about the safety of Zanpuchi De Zuzan, it is not difficult to understand.

Tubo is taking every step of the way. They believe that they can break through the Tang army's blockade steadily, and they don't pay attention to everyone at all!

Being so underestimated, all the Tang soldiers felt indignant. If Li Sheng hadn't explicitly banned the application, some hot-headed soldiers would have raised their horizontal knives and passed Luchai!

Alas, these soldiers are still too young.Li Sheng shook his head and smiled wryly in his heart.Although most of the soldiers of the Tongwu Battalion were old men who followed Li Kuo all the way, they had not experienced tens of thousands of battles after all, and they were not mature enough to deal with the enemy's mentality.

The most important thing in marching and fighting is to fight steadily, and the most important thing is to avoid impulsiveness.If the commander-in-chief is only a reckless man with blood and no wisdom, then he will not only be harmed by himself.

Although I don't have as much experience as these 'veterans', I still have some understanding of these subtle words and great meanings after reading through military books.The book of war, the book of war, can not be fully believed or not believed.

"Tell everyone to prepare the crossbows and wait for my order!" Li Sheng looked at the increasingly dense light spots in the distance and gave the order.

......

Under the mountains in the southern range of Chiling Mountains, the moon was cold and the stars were thin, and the [-] soldiers led by the Turkic general Absi had already gathered.

In addition to the [-] Tongluo cavalry in his headquarters, Ge Shuhan also allocated [-] Hexi elites to him.As an important pawn on the chessboard of the Hehuang war, Arbus played an irreplaceable role for Goshuhan.

As a result, among the 10,000+ Tang army, only his Tongluo iron cavalry has extremely strong mobility, and can rush to the southern line of Chiling at the fastest speed to contain the defenders of Baigu and Wanxiu.

Second, Albus has a strong political significance.Although he was born in Mobei Turk, he is very well connected in the court and has contacts with several high officials.If he hadn't allowed him to 'make' this great achievement, Ge Shuhan would not be able to explain to these important officials in the DPRK and China, thus destroying the intertwined relationship of interests.

Therefore, both Yu Gong and private brother Shu Han had to let Absi become the commander-in-chief of this Tang army, and make the greatest military exploits at the smallest cost.

Albus naturally knew this clearly, so he dared not to betray Ge Shuhan's face at all.The same town is Jiedu, why is he shorter than Goshuhan?There is no such reason in the world!

However, as a general, he dared not openly disobey Ge Shuhan's command.He clearly knew the importance of the Battle of Hehuang to the Tang Dynasty and its significance to the Holy Son of Heaven in the Daming Palace.Therefore, he adopted the safest and most intriguing way of attack-surround but not attack.

Didn't his brother Shuhan hope to contain the Tubo army of Baigu and Wanxiu's generation? He tied these Tubo people firmly to the southern line of Chiling.But if you want to take the initiative to attack yourself, it is absolutely impossible!

"Marshal, the beacon fire is burning among the mountain ridges in the north!" An adjutant pointed at the blue-gray ridge and said in a deep voice.

"Flag-burning mountains and rivers are the best, what are we in a hurry for?" Albus half-closed his eyes and said, "The wolf will never show its sharp claws to the prey without absolute certainty, and let them hit the prey first." , wouldn’t it be a good thing for us to reap the benefits of being a fisherman here?”
