Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 329
Outside the city of the Anren army, Fu Cunshen frowned deeply as he watched the Tubo army who had been defeated and left after the battle.

What kind of battle is this fighting?

To be honest, although the Tianzhu army has a good record, in terms of the proportion of veterans, it is actually not as good as other armies.There are a lot of new recruits in the Cai people. Although they have been trained for two years, they are still not comparable to those veterans who have fought for more than ten years.

Tubo people, no real fight!

The cavalry that was beaten to almost annihilation before, because they were defeated so simply, it was hard to see if it was a real fight.But the Tubo army that was fighting in the city in front of them was more than [-] people, but they only fought for a while, the front line was broken, and the main general withdrew.

"Military envoy, Tubo is luring me into the city. If our army breaks into the city, the captives will close the city gate and fire their bows and crossbows. There will be no one in ten of our army. This city cannot be entered lightly." See Li Tangbin, the army envoy Fu Cunshen ordered the pursuit of Tubo's rout, and Fu Cunshen hurriedly warned him against it.

Li Tangbin looked him up and down, and said: "General Fu, the captive army has been defeated, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. If you don't chase at this time, how will you attack the city after it is reorganized?"

"The captive army may want to lure our army into the city, gather and annihilate them." Facing the military envoy who has always been unambiguous, Fu Cunshen did not intend to reserve his opinion, but only heard him say: "There are four thousand captive troops. The rear line ran faster than the front line, and the general rushed into the city immediately. No matter how weak Qingtang Tubo is, it is impossible for this kind of virtue."

"No need to say much!" Li Tangbin waved his hand, and said, "Vice General Wang has led his troops to chase after him, and we will see the outcome later. If you are so timid and timid in battle, and miss the opportunity, then you might as well go home to farm and herd sheep." All right."

Fu Cunshen didn't get angry at Li Tangbin's sarcasm, but just cupped his hands.

Li Tangbin is a military envoy, he can do whatever he says, and Fu Cunshen has no possibility of disobedience.

Wang Jianji led a battalion of [-] soldiers, chasing the fleeing Tubo people and attacking Anrenjun City.

The captive soldiers resisted for a while at the gate of the city, but the number was too small and they were quickly dispersed.

Wang Jianji was wearing two layers of heavy armor, holding a four-foot-long lance, shouted loudly, and stabbed two Tubo soldiers one after another.

The Tubo tribal army is too weak, they don’t even have iron armor, and most of them wear furs, they don’t look like warriors—well, they are not warriors at all, they are all strong and strong tribes recruited temporarily, and they have only received the most basic training. train.

Wang Jianji quickly rushed into the city with his soldiers.

The Tibetans fled in all directions, and no one stayed behind to resist.Those with horses even rode away from the south gate long ago.The pawns without horses threw away their equipment and fled desperately.Those who couldn't escape even hid in houses, but were found out in the end and became prisoners.

Not long after, the Tubo military flag on the top of the city was cut off and thrown down.

Li Tangbin glanced at Fu Cunshen, snorted coldly, and led a large army into the city.

Fu Cunshen's face was a little red.

This time he was wrong, but the battle was still a bit weird.If there is a next time, he will still stick to his point of view.

With a sigh, Fu Cunshen packed up his mood and followed into the city.

"The commander-in-chief has an order. The Tianzhu army is stationed in Anrenjuncheng, and the Feng'an army will go ten li ahead and go down to the stronghold." A commanding horse rushed over and conveyed Shao Shude's order.Fu Cunshen was stunned, the commander-in-chief planned to use Anren Juncheng as his camp, and continue to wait for the Tubo tribes to come to "meet the alliance"?
Most of the people who joined the alliance before were from the tribes in Haomenchuan, Xingling, and Xingxiuhai. Next, they should rely on successive victories to attract more Tubo tribes to come, right?
This place is still more than 120 miles away from Qingtang City. Normally, there should be some tribes.If no one came to vote in the future, then most of them would not come. They must have assembled to resist the conquest of the Shuofang army.

On the post road to the Anren Army, Shao Shude approached Chen Cheng and asked, "It is said by the tribe of Jiangshun that many tribes in Xingxiuhai went south to Qingtang City, including Dingkou, cattle and sheep. .Guan Kairun also sent back a military report that the Tubo tribes, old and young, are moving westward from the Yuhai Hai area, is this going to fight me in Qingtang City?"

"Tibetan has been running Qingtang City for many years, and there are many tribes in the Heyuan area, and all kinds of craftsmen are thriving, so they will not give up easily." Chen Cheng replied: "This city is huge. In the past, more than [-] Heyuan troops were stationed in the city. The north of the city rests on the Huangshui River, and there are mountains on the north bank, or there are military strongholds, forming horns with the city, so it would not be surprising if the Tubo army gathered here."

Shao Shude nodded, and said: "It's best to let the silver gun touch the bottom of Qingtang City. A certain person is in the Anren Army, waiting for an answer. By the way, plunder—well, recruit Tubo descendants, and learn about their details. Strategy. It is best to recruit the tribes in the Huangshui area, they probably know it very well."

"Great commander." Chen Cheng praised.

The east is twilight, the dawn mist is like yarn, and the distant mountains and near mountains are shining silver in the morning dew.

"Ready to go!" Wang Chong took the Tibetan spear handed over by his own soldiers, his eyes glaring fiercely.

The sergeants slept in the open all night, and their spirits were not bad.For herdsmen who often eat ice and snow on the grassland, this is really nothing.

And as the order was issued, by the side of the mountain stream, under the locust tree, and beside the meadow, one soldier after another got up and packed their luggage silently.

The auxiliary soldiers from the Long family tribe brought the horses and handed over to the Uighur soldiers.

The whole valley seemed to come alive, with the sound of equipment colliding, war horse neighing and officers' passwords everywhere.

After a long time, five thousand riders drove out of the valley for the first time and disappeared into the vast wilderness.

Two thousand auxiliary soldiers followed closely behind with an additional [-] horses, loaded with water and horse supplies.

Another thousand auxiliary soldiers drove some cattle and sheep to another place.

"Quack..." Beside the East Grove in Huangshui County, crows covered the branches.

They stared at the shepherds mowing grass outside the city with malicious eyes.The shepherd was annoyed by the noise, and turned around to curse a few times, but the crow remained unmoved and continued to stare at him.

The shepherd shuddered subconsciously, and then his chest filled with anger.He ran to a grass shed next to him and took out his bow and arrow.

"Whoosh!" An arrow flew over.

The shepherd flew out, looking at his chest in disbelief, his eyes gradually becoming lax.

"Quack..." The crows flapped their wings and flew away from the grove.

On the distant horizon, a large group of cavalry rushed towards the dilapidated Huangshui County like a raging black tide.

Several cavalry scouts also came out of the meadow as tall as a person.

There are bloody human heads hanging beside their saddles. Judging from the hair accessories, they should be Tubo rangers walking outside.

Before the confrontation of the armies, there are always bloody, cruel, and deceitful scouting battles, without exception.

The cavalry was charging, and the earth was shaking.Inside and outside Huangshui County, the Tubo people woke up like a dream.

The bell rang in the city, and a large group of soldiers rushed out of their homes, gathering in a hurry.The bell will not ring indiscriminately. At this moment, Tang Jun should have come to kill him, and the scale is very large.

While gathering, the hearts of the Tubo people were also trembling.

Although Huangshui County is not small, it cannot accommodate the entire tribe.The vast majority of the Miaochuan tribe's population is still in the pastures or villages outside the city, and among them are the families of the soldiers.This will be raided by Tang cavalry, what will they do?
The horses charged into the unprotected village.Arrows fly horizontally, and silver guns shine.

Some Tubo people rushed to the village, but were nailed to the ground by arrows halfway.

Some Tubo people rushed out with Tibetan spears in their hands, but they were directly overwhelmed by the charging horses.

Some Tubo people hid in tents or houses and shot arrows, but soon they had to rush out because of the fire, and were pierced by a spear.

Tents, houses, and haystacks all burst into flames.

Thousands of people had just gathered in Huangshui County, the commander saw his eyes tearing apart, and immediately led people out.

This may be the largest cavalry battle today.

The soldiers of the Silver Spear City were divided into several groups, some charged straight with guns, some galloped along the road, and some outflanked to the rear.After fighting for less than half an hour, the Tubo cavalry who left the city were all killed and injured, and the rest dared not return to the city, so they rode their horses and ran towards Qingtang City.

The Uighur cavalry made a gesture to give chase, and then gave up.

Now, they can safely enjoy the spoils outside the city.There are still several thousand Tubo soldiers in Huangshui County, but they are mainly infantry, and they are not afraid at all.

The fleeing cavalrymen of the Miaochuan tribe ran all the way to Qingtang City.

This time, Master Jiezan couldn't sit still.Facing the Miaochuan family who insisted on withdrawing troops, he was extremely anxious, but it was difficult to find a way to persuade the other party.

The Shao thief was too damaged. Relying on his large number of soldiers and horses, he wantonly plundered the rear and supported the war with war.

Why don't you go to Guanzhong?What is there in Qingtang that deserves your great efforts?There are only a few hundred thousand people, and there are several million people in Guanzhong, which is more important, can't you tell?
Hurry up and go to Guanzhong, don't come to harm Qingtang again.You have already occupied Hewei, Shan and Kuo prefectures don't want to let it go?Is the obsession with regaining the homeland of the Tang Dynasty so deep?Then why don't you fight all the way to Anxi and Beiting to fight the Uighurs?
"Master, if I don't bring troops back, the tribe will be gone." Miao Chuan walked around the room,

"Talk too much and worry too much, and you won't respond; if you don't say anything and think too much, you can't get anywhere." After holding back for a long time, Master Jie Zan gave such a sentence.

"Ah?" Miao Chuan was bewildered.

Master Jie Zan sighed and gave up continuing to persuade.

"You can take away the soldiers from Qingtang City, and keep the ambush soldiers from Changning Canyon," Master Jie Zan said.

Miao Chuan was stunned.

His original intention was to bring back the five thousand pacers who were ambushing in Changning Canyon.The 5000 people in Qingtang City still have to stay to defend the city.Master Jiezan didn't have many soldiers around him, once people were withdrawn, wouldn't the city be empty if there were thousands of people killed?

But seeing Master Jiezan's determined face, the Miao Chuan clan was in awe.

Although there were so many accidents, the mage remained unmoved, undisturbed, and firmly carried out the existing plan.

The main force of the Tang army has reached Anrenjun City, only one step away from the trap.If we withdraw our troops at this time, wouldn't all previous efforts be for naught?

The Miao Chuan family saluted respectfully and strode away.

Master Jiezan proclaimed the Buddha's name.

"All kinds of things in the rear are all illusory. The reality has no form, and there is no form. Now, just wait for the Shao thief to get into the trap, and everything can be easily solved."
