Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 955

Some people who looked like Tubo officers were still holding whips, and from time to time they lashed at those who they thought were stealing and playing tricks, and the people who were hit also gritted their teeth without saying a word, and speeded up their pace a little more. The road was full of tense and busy meteorological.

In the dense forest to the east of the road, several scouts from the special brigade stood on a hill and looked west.From their position, the road to the west is just a thin line looming in the mountains and forests. As for whether there are spots on the thin line, it is completely beyond the human eye.But the leader of the scouting squad among them was equipped with a telescope.

At this time, the reconnaissance team leader carefully stretched the length of the metal cylinder to adjust the focal length, and whispered a series of numbers at the same time: "... three grain trucks, two grain trucks, four The Pocket Man..."

Since the glass was finally produced by the Xiangfu National Civil Research Department, with the opening of the glass factory, the cost of the telescope has dropped by more than a hundred times, and the officers above the company commander of each army in the Xiangfu Kingdom will gradually equip it.For example, the reconnaissance squad of the special brigade is also equipped with a telescope for each squad.

At this time, the people next to the scouting squad leader squatted on the ground, and kept recording the numbers read out by the squad leader in a small notebook with pencils. They just stood on this hill for a whole day, and they didn't clean up until the sun turned west. Good thing, turned around and walked to the east. It didn't take long before their figures disappeared into the forest.

These scouts were swaying in the forest, bypassing dense forests and cliffs one after another, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had come. After walking a few miles in the forest, the scouting squad leader led With a footstep, he took out a black iron box from his arms, and the others watched as he carefully placed the box flat in his hands, and then gently opened its lid.

"It's okay, I'm not lost, just make sure we've been heading northeast." The reconnaissance squad leader reassured the people around him.While carefully putting away the black iron box, he strode forward again.The others followed closely behind the squad leader without saying a word.This black iron box is the latest research result invented by a student from the School of Physics of Xiangfu College.The compass was invented when Yang Jiye had just set off with his army on the Western Expedition. After Ye Chen heard about it, he personally ordered the Patent Department of the Ministry of Industry to buy the invention with a patent of 1000 taels, and gave priority to the equipment The Ministry produced a batch for the Ministry of Security and troops to use as scouts and spies.The reconnaissance squad of the special brigade was also assigned just before coming to support Lanzhou this time.

These few scouts shuttled through the deserted wilderness forest like this, occasionally bringing the sound of one or two birds, pheasants, and small animals screaming and scurrying.They walked northeastward for less than ten miles from the top of the mountain just now, and suddenly it became clear in front of them. A camp of about 3000 people suddenly appeared in front of these scouts. It was hidden in the depths of this dense forest. A fiery red military flag was fluttering.

There are a lot of fresh wood piles around the camp, which look like trees that have just been felled.The camp was surrounded by hundreds of special forces soldiers, who were arranging bundles of wooden boards, as well as piles of mountain barrels and boxes.They performed their own duties, except for all kinds of hidden sentries, bright sentries, and mobile sentries, almost no one noticed the few scouts who had just returned to the camp.

That's right, the camp here is the camp of the [-] special brigade led by Gao Wuyang.

The reconnaissance squad leader didn't talk too much to others, but went straight to the central camp with the information he obtained. He ran to the door and said to the sentinel: "Squad leader Song Yong of the third squad of the reconnaissance company asked to see the deputy captain first."

Gao Wuyang quickly recruited Song Yongxian, and Song Yongxian carefully reported what he had seen and heard today to Gao Wuyang.Then respectfully submitted the report on the enemy situation they observed.After casually asking Song Yongxian a few more words, Gao Wuyang asked him to retreat. In Gao Wuyang's big tent, there were many staff members from the staff department of the special brigade, and these staff members immediately picked up the data and began to calculate.

"Deputy Captain, except for the Tubo people who escorted the grain and grass today, there will not be more than 1 soldiers in the Anduo Department of the Wu Sheng Army."

"Hmm." Gao Wuyang replied noncommittally in a low voice.Regarding the defeat and expulsion of the Tubo people, Xiangfu Kingdom, from Ye Chen and important officials in the court to ordinary soldiers, and even every commoner have never doubted it.Everyone thought it was only a matter of time.But how long does this process last?How to get revenge after being kicked out?became the key.

Gao Wuyang deeply understood what Bai Canghai said to him when he left, and defeated the Tubo people as soon as possible, so that they had no power to fight back, and did not leave any future troubles.Gao Wuyang knew that although the special brigade was powerful, it even made great achievements in the battle with the Liao army last year, and its role was not even smaller than that of any legion in terms of strategy.But Gao Wuyang also understands that it still needs the people of the Legion to destroy the enemy head-on.The main thing they can do is to harass and cut off the enemy's food and grass in the form of guerrilla warfare.But when the enemy dispatched heavy troops and took precautions at every level, it didn't mean that they were helpless, but the effect they achieved was greatly reduced.

Therefore, these days, Gao Wuyang simply left the frontline theater, crossed mountains and ridges, and came to the south of Lanzhou, the territory of the Tubo Kingdom, the territory of Wu Shengjun.Naturally, coming here is a big ticket.

In fact, if Gao Wuyang hadn't been waiting for the arrival of the Qinglong Legion, so that this big vote could have the effect of drawing salary from the bottom, they would have acted long ago.

However, the Qinglong Legion was able to detour from Zhiyuan County in the north of Gaizhu City to the southeast of Lanzhou, thanks to the special brigade. The special brigade took advantage of the fact that the Tibetans focused on Gaizhucheng and the Zhuque Legion, and confronted them. , opened a path from the mountain forest.In this era, no one ever thought that an army of tens of thousands of people could get enough supplies through the mountains and forests. Gao Wuyang and Zhang Dawei, the head of the Qinglong Legion, also did not expect the same. They only asked the Qinglong Legion to carry enough supplies for a few days Only enough food and grass are enough, and the real sufficient supply is naturally to feed the enemy.

About sixty miles southwest of Lanzhou City, Xujiashan.The Azure Dragon Legion camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.Zhang Dawei sat in the commander's seat, quietly listening to the discussion of the generals under his command.This time, the Qinglong Legion, the Suzaku Legion, and the special brigade supported Lanzhou and fought against the Tibetans.The order of the imperial court and His Majesty's decree are to let Deng Chongxuan be the commander-in-chief, the leader of the special team, the killer king, is a different matter, but Zhang Dawei and Deng Chongxuan have the same level, honor and title, because He was young, and his qualifications in the army were not as deep as Deng Chongxuan, so he succumbed to Deng Chongxuan, obeyed his orders, and even cooperated with the Suzaku Army?

Zhang Dawei naturally did not dare to dislike His Majesty's will, but he was full of dissatisfaction with Deng Chongxuan.Therefore, after he came to Zhiyuan County, he did not send anyone to contact Deng Chongxuan, but thought about winning the battle himself. At this moment, Gao Wuyang sent someone to find him and planned a slightly crazy and bold plan with him.

In the middle of the daily routine combat meeting, someone outside the tent shouted: "Report!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then saw an intelligence staff officer open the tent door to enter the account, saluted the military, and said loudly: "Report to the head of the army, the special brigade sent someone over."

Zhang Dawei stood up abruptly, and all the generals swiped, and then all stood up, looking at Zhang Dawei with piercing eyes, the latter's eyes flashed, and said: "Everyone, it's time for our Suzaku Legion to show their talents!" .”

"Brother, the patriarch said that as long as Lord Yingcheng and Linbu beat the people of Xiangfu Kingdom, they will reward one Han woman as a slave." When the younger brother spoke, his eyes were full of longing.

"Yes! Speaking of it, the Han women are really different. The white and smooth skin is like something. Most Han women are very good at farming. There is such a female slave who serves me, and then puts the inside of our land. The highland barley has been rectified, how great it is!" The elder brother also looked greedy and expectant.

The living conditions of the Tubo people have always been bitter and cold, the medical conditions are poor, and they don't pay much attention to hygiene, so the birth rate and survival rate of children are extremely low, especially the status of women has been low since childhood, and most of them can't live beyond the age of 30, so women are "animals" It has always been a rare species among the Tibetans. It is not uncommon for several brothers to share a woman.

The pair of brothers stuffed the food in two mouthfuls. Thinking of having a fragrant, white and tender woman as a slave, the two brothers were full of energy: "But first, we must win."

"Well, wait for me." The elder brother looked at the younger brother with a smile on his face, swallowed the food in his hand, and was about to get up to carry the food.

After standing up.The younger brother squinted his eyes and looked at the woods beside the road for a while, then suddenly shouted: "Brother, there seems to be something shining in the woods."

"Huh?" My brother stuffed his mouth full of food. He turned his head and glanced at the words, but because he squatted down and didn't see anything, he swallowed a few times with difficulty, but failed, after being choked.While beating his chest desperately, the elder brother searched all over the ground for a gourd filled with water.

After finding the kettle, the elder brother eagerly opened the stopper and took two gulps. When he turned around to talk to his younger brother, he saw that his younger brother had opened his mouth wide and was looking forward in surprise, even making a sound. not out.

The brother looked around.All the people around were also staring at the woods in the east in a daze.Then there was another messy sound coming from that direction, and my brother stood up holding the gourd.He squinted at the woods.
