Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 523 Battle of Funiuchuan (8)

"Speed ​​up, keep up, fast!"

Gar Mosuoduo has been very proud of the spring breeze these past few days. Although he is tired enough, he is very happy in his heart. Anyone who can drive the enemy who defeated him away like a rabbit must have such virtues.

"Report, General, the Tang thieves are lined up five miles ahead, please make it clear, General!"

Just when Gar Mosuoduo was bluffing and ordering his subordinates to speed up, he saw a cavalry sentry galloping from a distance, bringing him a very strange news.

"What, I can see clearly, are they all Tang thieves?"

Don't look at Gar Mosodo's high-spirited chase before, in fact, he is still deeply afraid of the fighting power of the Hehuang army in his heart. The reason why he dared to chase boldly a few days ago was because he bullied the Hehuang army in a tight siege At this time, when he heard that Tang Jun had put on a fighting posture, Gar Mosuoduo felt timid in his heart, and asked with a look of surprise on his face.

"If you go back to the general, it is undoubtedly the entire Tang army!"

The scout obviously also noticed something wrong with Gar Mosodo, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he could only lower his head pretending to be ignorant, and hurriedly replied.

"Decree: The whole army stops, hurry up, send someone to inform General Zanpo, and say that the Tang thief is going to kill him, why are you still standing there!"

After being defeated by the Tang army in the previous round, the remnants gathered by Gar Mosodo were only in the early [-]s. He really didn’t dare to confront Li He’s troops head-on again. This confirms that the Tang army is really going to fight. Karma Er Mosuoduo was intimidated, and he did not see the high-spirited earlier, he roared repeatedly, looking completely out of breath.

"Report, General, the thief has stopped five miles away."

The Tubo army's delay in advancing could not be concealed from the Tang army's scouts. When it was found that the Tubo army had no intention of advancing, a cavalry sentry rushed back to the front and reported the news to Li He.

"Aren't you afraid to come? Well, let's go and send an order: the whole army will go out, don't love to fight, and leave with one blow. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

Li He had long guessed that Gar Mosuoduo would not dare to fight alone, and he heard the correct news from the riding whistle, so he couldn't help but sneered, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was already slanting to the west , so he didn't delay any more, his face became serious, and he gave the order loudly.

"Report, General, Tang, Tang thief kill, kill over here!"

When Li He gave an order, the officers and men of the Hehuang Army did not dare to be negligent, and one after another rushed to respond to the order. More than [-] iron cavalry swept towards the road like a wave. The Tubo sentry at the place could see it clearly, so how dare it be negligent, hurriedly rode back to the front of the army, and reported the news to Gar Mosuo.

"Damn it, hurry up, line up, line up!"

Gar Mosodo didn't understand Tang Jun's intentions before, so he didn't dare to enter the army lightly, but he didn't order the whole army to line up to meet the enemy, but just let the troops rest here. Then he panicked, ignoring the anxious sentinel, pulled out the big knife from his waist, and screamed wildly. With this order, all the officers and soldiers of the Tubo army panicked, and the leaders of all ministries screamed again and again, desperately The formation was straightened out, all kinds of passwords and horns sounded together, and finally managed to form a defensive formation before the arrival of the Tang army. However, under the exhaustion of soldiers and horses, this formation is really not very strict. As for the spirit, it is not much higher.

"Come with me, riding and shooting!"

The Hehuang army is full of cavalry, and their speed is extremely fast. The five-mile distance is nothing more than an instant. At the moment when the Tubo army has just formed its formation, Li He has already rushed to the front, which is only [-] meters away from the Tubo formation. At the distance of two paces, but did not stop to rectify the formation, but gave a shout, and led the troops to charge without stopping.

"Prepare the bow and crossbow!"

Looking at the surging cavalry of the Tang Army, Gar Mosuoduo's heart immediately thumped, and he didn't dare to give orders to fight at all, and only wanted to stabilize his defense.

"Turn left, go!"

Although the Tubo army under Gar Mosodo is a tired army, it can be regarded as one of the strong Tubo troops, and the orders and prohibitions are implemented well. The general ordered that the three thousand bows and crossbows lined up in front of the whole army Immediately, they raised their strong bows in unison, and everyone stretched their bows and set their arrows, ready to give the charging Tang Jun a head-on blow. He never rushed into the effective range of the bow and crossbow at all - Li He shouted when he was less than 150 steps away from the formation of the Tubo army, and led his troops to draw a beautiful arc in the center of the battlefield. He rushed to the left like a thunderbolt.

"Damn it, blow the horn, the left cavalry strike, strike!"

Gar Mosuoduo can be said to have gained a lot of wisdom by learning from a pitfall. Seeing Tang Jun's sudden turn, he immediately guessed Tang Jun's tactics. He ordered the left-wing cavalry to launch a charge, trying to take advantage of the time when the Tang army's flank was exposed to his own side, and give the Tang army an interception. One thing, that is, in order to be able to stabilize the defense, all the five thousand infantry in his hands were placed at the forefront of the array. Not only were there three rows of archers, but also two rows of shield swordsmen blocked the cavalry. Before, it was not so easy to change formation at this time. No matter how loudly he roared, the left-wing cavalry could not follow his order. The left wing was in a mess, the infantry and cavalry armies were crowded together, and the men and horses trampled on each other. Before the Tang army could launch an attack, its army was already on the verge of collapse.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing that the left wing of the Tubo army was in turmoil, Li He would not let go of such a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, but he never turned to pounce on the enemy. Instead, he ordered the whole army to greet the Tubo army with a rain of arrows, but Hearing the sound of machine reeds, all the officers and soldiers of the Tang army turned sideways one after another, pointed the crossbows in their hands at the left wing of the Tubo army in chaos, and shot wildly, killing the Tubo army on their backs and turning them into a mess. The miserable howls sounded one after another.

"withdraw!"

Although it is possible to defeat the left wing of the Tubo army with a little more force, and it is even possible to take advantage of the trend to cover up the Tubo center and right armies and win a big victory, but Li He has no intention of doing so, because he really wants to break the Tubo army. The enemy must fight a fierce battle. If the Tubo reinforcements from the other ministries arrive before the resistance of the Tubo army is completely defeated, the Tang army may fall into a tight siege, and this is something that Li Hewan cannot bear. Therefore, he was not greedy for merit. After a rain of arrows looted the left wing of the Tubo army, he led his troops to march around the left wing of the Tubo army, and rushed to the depths of the grassland without hesitation.

Tang Jun didn't look back when he left, and quickly disappeared into the distance. At the moment, Gar Mosuoduo was secretly relieved, but he couldn't help but feel a headache—to chase or not to chase?This is a terrible problem. After suffering a lot of losses, Gar Mosodo has become a frightened bird. Do you want to chase after him?I'm afraid that Tang Jun will kill another carbine again, but what if he doesn't chase?In case the traces of the Tang army were lost, Gar Qinling would not let him go lightly. He was in a dilemma for a while, but he didn't know what decision to make.

"Why stop here, huh?"

Li He's caution was not unreasonable. Just when Gar Mosodo's troops had just settled down from the chaos, smoke and dust had already rolled in from several places, but it was Gar Zangpo who led the troops to arrive. Seeing that Gar Mosodo's troops stayed where they were, Gar Zangpo's expression turned extremely ugly. He led a group of generals and rushed to Gar Mosodo's body with a whip. He asked in a cold voice.

"Third Brother, I..."

Gar Mosuo wanted to explain more, but he didn't know where to start. He was so anxious that the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't help gushing out.

"Trash, hurry up and chase after me, I lost Tang thief, be careful of your dog's head!"

For Gar Mosuoduo, a cousin who is arrogant and talented, Gar Tsangpo has always hated him very much. Seeing his embarrassment in such a mess, he was even more angry from the heart, and he scolded him unceremoniously He said one sentence.

"Ah, yes, the third brother calms down, and the younger brother just obeys."

Gar Mosodo is a proud and arrogant person, and he has not always respected Gar Zampo, the general. He has often confronted Gar Zampo in public, but this time he has been defeated one after another. He lost his energy and energy, and dared not speak or act presumptuously, so he complied in embarrassment, called a group of people to deploy, and chased after Tang Jun in the direction where Tang Jun left... Funiu Mountain, Kunlun A branch of the mountain, the mountain is extremely steep, the shape of the mountain is high, and it is difficult for birds to fly. However, there is a gap nearly a thousand feet wide between the continuous mountains. During the years, the Tuyuhun people who were used to nomadic herding did not have the habit of living in the city, so they did not build a city here to defend it. Qinling has been different since Tuyuhun, who knows the military strategy well. Gar Qinling personally designed the entire Funiuchuan fortification. ——At the large gap that is several miles long, there is a checkpoint and three military strongholds to defend the capital. However, due to economic strength, the checkpoint is not tall, it is a low stone wall that is not more than ten feet high Forget it, there were not many garrisons in the past, and the four barracks added up to a total of about two thousand permanent troops. During this war, due to the capacity, the garrison was doubled, but it was still not too many. There are only thousands of soldiers and horses, but the number of guard posts on duty is several times more than usual. Even in the dark night with strong winds, no one dares to be lazy, because the Tubo Grand Minister Gar Qinling is sitting in Guancheng at this time superior.

"President, the night is already very deep, look..."

At three o'clock in the ugly hour, the night was already deep, but Gar Qinling didn't feel sleepy at all. Holding an oil lamp in his hand, he lay down on the copywriting, carefully studied the large map in front of him, and his thick eyebrows were tightly locked into a Chuanzi, a worried look, made the captain of the personal guard who was accompanying him extremely unbearable, so he had to make a point in a low voice.

"Ah."

Gar Qinling's mind was obviously still immersed in the complicated deduction of the battle situation, and he didn't pay attention to the words of the captain of the personal guard, but just made a noncommittal speech.

"Great Prime Minister..."

Looking at Gar Qinling's haggard face, the captain of the personal guard couldn't stand it any longer. He opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and turned back. Turning away, he looked at the night sky outside the gate tower in surprise.
