The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 484 Chapter 470 Six: Songtao Valley, Turpan people attacked Tianzhu soldiers with fire
Everyone entered the big tent and immediately sat down in a row. Duan Wuji and his five brothers were arranged on the left and right of the old king.

Everyone knows that this position is such a prestigious position!Ordinary people would not dare to sit in this position.

Duan Wuji and his five brothers don't care about these useless things!Wherever you sit according to the arrangement, you can sit wherever you are.

Not too long ago, the big pot of elephant meat was brought up, as were dozens of jars of kumiss.

The old Wang Guo looked happily at the serf owners, big and small, and said with a smile: "Everyone, today everyone has done a great job in fighting the enemy bravely. After this battle, the idea of ​​Tianzhu's desire to destroy our country has also been wiped out.

The main force of the enemy army was wiped out, and the remaining two partial divisions couldn't make much trouble. From then on, you can finally enjoy peace at home again.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is estimated that nearly [-] King Qin's troops from our country will arrive again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so you don't have to worry too much from now on.

Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen it today. Today's battle is all thanks to the help of these five warriors from the Great Sui Kingdom!

Otherwise, relying on the words of us people, there is really no way to win this battle!

I believe everyone is very clear about this, these people are the patron saints of my Tupan country!

If they didn't come to help in the battle, everyone must be very clear about the final result!
Wang Er, quickly pour wine for everyone, let's celebrate the victory together tonight. "

After hearing this, Songtsan Gampo immediately poured wine in turn. Everyone toasted frequently to celebrate today's victory together!

Everyone hadn't eaten anything today, and while drinking, they began to binge-drink and eat big pieces of elephant meat.

Most of the people present had never eaten elephant meat, and they were indeed too hungry today. They ate all the elephant meat in front of them while binge drinking.

The old king ordered someone to bring some more, and the old king didn't announce the disbandment until everyone was full.

When it was almost time for the people to leave, the old king signaled the eldest prince Songtsan Gampo and Duan Wuji to stay.

The old king looked at these people and said: "Today we won a big victory, but there are still two partial divisions that have not been resolved. This is also a major addiction to the security of my country!

Guys, how about you helping to solve these two partial divisions?

Don't worry, after these two enemies are repelled, the lonely king will never treat you badly.

You have helped our country so much, how can the lonely king be so stingy for a few pennies!
Don't worry about this! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Since His Majesty has said so, then we can rest assured, okay!
Then let us help you repel these two groups of enemy soldiers! "

"Okay! Let's do it like this. According to reports from the spies, the two groups of enemy soldiers, the one closest to our country, are still a hundred miles away from our Tupan country.

I estimate that they may arrive at noon tomorrow.

When the time comes, it will be up to you, you must show your prestige and make the enemy frightened! "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, that's a must, you all line up tomorrow to have a look.

Your Majesty, rest at ease, as long as we are here, nothing will happen. "

"Well, since you said that, I'm relieved.

When the battle starts tomorrow, this king will personally beat the drums to cheer you on.

Well, you guys go back to your account and go to rest, after all, the war will start tomorrow!

Come, take these Han warriors back to their tents to rest! "

Immediately, a soldier came in from outside the tent.

"Several distinguished guests, let's go, follow me back to the account and go to rest!"

The five people bowed their hands at the old king and his son, and then walked out of the big tent following the soldier.

The tent where Duan Wuji and the others are resting is next to this treasured tent of the Chinese army. The whole big tent is spacious and grand, it looks like a place for noble people to live in.

Duan Wuji looked at the soldier and said with a smile: "We have nothing to do, you can go out."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "When we are resting, no one is allowed to enter our big tent. If there is any urgent matter, you can call us from outside the tent, and you can come in after we answer. , Do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly, respected guests, we all understand these things, if we don't say hello, how dare we enter your big account privately!
Don't worry, even if you don't tell us, we dare not go in!

Now that you have ordered it again, we will not be able to go in! "

After speaking, the soldier withdrew from the tent.

A few people are indeed tired today. After fighting for such a day, can they not be tired!
It wasn't too long, and there were loud sounds one after another in the big tent.

Nothing happened all night, the next morning, just as the sun came out, the five people got up, and saw that the whole camp was busy, and the smoke from the cooking had already risen.

Several people exercised their muscles and bones outside the tent, and then returned to the big tent to wait for dinner.

In a short time, the eldest prince Songtsan Gampo came to invite Duan Wuji and his five brothers!
"Wuji, my father and king ordered you to come here, everyone, let's go, follow me to dinner!
After dinner, we can set up camp. "

The five people were not polite, and followed the eldest prince straight to the treasure tent of the Chinese army.

When I entered the big tent, I saw that the steaming hot cooked meat had already been served.

As soon as the old king saw them coming in, he quickly asked them to sit down and eat meat together. They were not polite, they grabbed a large piece of elephant meat and gnawed it voraciously.

After the people were full, the soldiers immediately cleaned up the dishes, and then began to dismantle the tents and set up camps.

As soon as the big tent was cleared, four or five serf owners rushed over with more than 3000 people.

After the people and horses were assembled, they immediately rushed to the next pass, which was only 120 miles away from here.

This pass is in the direction of due west and south!

This pass is also a ravine running north-south. This ravine is called Songtao Valley. The entire ravine is only one mile wide, and there are many high mountains on both sides of the deep ravine!The entire ravine and the mountains on both sides are covered with large and small pines and cypresses. When the northwest wind blows, the pines in the whole valley make a rustling sound.

Because of this sound, this valley was named Songtao Valley by the local people.

When a large group of people came here at the mouth of the valley, the army of Tianzhu had not rushed over yet, and the whistling northwest wind was blowing, and some people couldn't keep their eyes open.

Duan Wuji looked at the terrain for a long time, and then Niutou said to the eldest prince: "This place is very good, it is a good battlefield for killing!
Eldest prince, you see that there are pines and cypresses everywhere in this ravine, and the northwest wind is blowing right now, and the enemy is attacking with fire here, I think we don't need to fight today. "

"Attack with fire? How can you attack with fire! Can this fire kill people?

What a strange theory!How come I haven't heard of this! "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Haven't heard of it? Let me tell you to see it today."

The enemy's army is coming soon. If we use fire to attack, we must act quickly, or it will be too late if it is too late. "

"That's right! How about using fire to attack? I'm in charge today, so hurry up and let's act now."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to the eldest prince, tie the flammable objects in the camp to all the pine and cypress trees in the valley, and then stand two soldiers under each tree. After the soldiers of Tianzhu Kingdom approached, they told the soldiers that we blow the trumpet as an order, and order the soldiers to light the fire immediately when they heard the sound of the trumpet.

"Huh? Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

"Brother, tell me, how many fire points did we get in total?"

"Of course, the more the better, how can the fire be ignited quickly if there is less?"

"If that's the case, we probably don't have enough fire starters! What can we do about this!"

"What should we do, we can destroy a dozen of our felt tents and use them as fuel for the fire!

People's clothes, these things are fine! "

"Well! Forget it, I'll go all out today, okay then!"

The eldest prince can be regarded as a courageous person, and immediately brought over dozens of blanket tents, ordered people to cut them into pieces with knives, and quickly tied them to the branches one by one. Under each tree, there were two soldiers. There was a fire under the tree.

Some soldiers simply tied the old clothes they couldn't wear to the tree, and the number increased to four or five hundred in an instant.

Everyone was proceeding in an orderly manner. The old king and the serf owner behind were watching with wide eyes, wondering what these soldiers were doing with this!

While directing, the eldest prince looked at the trumpeter next to him.

Just at this moment, the sound of horse neighing and people shouting came from the south of the ravine. People heard it, and everyone became nervous.

The eldest prince Songtsan Gampo looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Brother, they are here, shall we light the fire?"

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, they are probably two or three miles away from us, wait until they get closer before setting fire!

With such a strong wind, a fire was ignited, and it burned up in a short while. I inspected it just now, and the woods in our valley are dense, and the trees become scarce within five or six miles. I am afraid Their team is too long, we can't burn them all at once. "

The voices of the team on the south side of the ravine are getting louder, and they are getting closer and closer to the mouth of the valley.

When Duan Wuji saw that it was almost done, he hurriedly said to the eldest prince: "Prince, it's almost done, let's blow the horn and light the fire immediately!"

The eldest prince's heart had already been in his throat, and upon hearing Duan Wuji's order to light the fire, he immediately ordered someone to blow the ignition horn.

With the sound of the trumpet, the soldiers guarding under the tree quickly lit a fire, hundreds of fire points quickly burst into thick smoke, and then blazing flames burst out with thick smoke.

The soldiers who lit the fire quickly ran out of the valley. Fortunately, the fire is not too big now, and everyone's eyes are full of tears!

There was not much time, so everyone escaped safely.

The fire was blown by the northwest wind, and a raging flame wrapped in thick black smoke quickly blew southward.

The fire burned more and more intensely, the raging flames were more than ten feet high, and the thick black smoke immediately pressed down along the valley to the south.

Immediately there was a sound of howling wolves and howling ghosts in the valley, and the howling wind and fire quickly suppressed the sound.

Duan Wuji looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go quickly, you see how easy this battle is!

Those Tianzhu people were not burned to death by the fire, but also by the thick smoke!

I don't think there is any need for us to wait here, let's hide away, and we will wait to clean up the battlefield tomorrow morning! "

"Ah? Brother, is this the end of this battle? It's too easy!"

"What do you want if it doesn't end! After this fire, I estimate that 90.00% of the Tianzhu people will die in this ravine! If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

Several people turned their horses' heads and ran straight towards the high slope outside the valley mouth.
