Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2436 Destroying the Horse
Xu Jian shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhang Erhei was a little strange, it was already at this time, wouldn't they run away, waiting to fight to the death with the Tubo cavalry?
After a fight during the day, Zhang Erhei could see that it was not impossible for them to defeat the Tubo cavalry, but their last remaining soldiers and horses probably would not exceed two thousand.

He cast his gaze over, and Xu Jian said: "General Zhang, if the cavalry in Tubo have no horses, are they still cavalry? Without cavalry, we can spend an extra day or two with them, but there is nothing It might happen, what if there is a turning point?"

For them, time is the most important thing. With time, there is hope.

Zhang Erhei somewhat understood.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Find a way to destroy those horses in Tubo. As long as the cavalry in Tubo have no horses, we have a chance."

"Destroy the horse?" Zhang Erhei was taken aback. This kind of situation rarely occurs in wars, because this kind of thing is very difficult. How easy is it to destroy the enemy's war horse?
But if this matter is really successful, then they can really buy another day or two.

Xu Jian nodded: "That's right, ruin the horse, we mix some medicine in their horse feed, when they ride the horse tomorrow, those horses may not have the slightest strength, and some may even die directly, so, they How are you going to chase us?"

Zhang Erhei said: "It's possible, I'm afraid it's not easy to do, right?"

"It's really not easy to do. We must send someone who is good at lurking."

After thinking about it, Zhang Erhei nodded: "Then let's try it, whether it works or not."

After the two people agreed in this way, they quickly sent several people to ask them to sneak into the Tubo army camp tonight and destroy the Tubo horses.

The night was getting darker and the wind was cold.

A few soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, dressed in black, quietly rushed towards the Tubo barracks, the distance between them was not very far.

The Tubo military camp is heavily guarded here.

Even if they thought that the Tang army would not attack the camp, the distance between the two sides was too close. If they were not cautious, they would not dare to sleep peacefully.

However, although the barracks is heavily guarded, there should be no problem for a few people to sneak in quietly.

In the middle of the night, when the patrolling soldiers in Tubo were a little tired, these people from Datang sneaked into the barracks. They walked in the dark and basically couldn't see anything.

Not long after they walked like this, they came to Tubo's stable.

They glanced at each other, and without any hesitation, they began to drug the horses' food.

The whole process went smoothly and didn't attract any attention.

After doing this, they didn't stop, and retreated in a hurry.

The night was dark, and the Tubo military camp was very peaceful, no one knew what happened.
-
After those people returned to the Tang army camp, they reported the situation to Zhang Erhei and the others.

Both were relieved to hear that they had succeeded.

This matter is simply God helping them, it was completed very smoothly.

"Let the soldiers rest for another two hours. We will leave immediately after dawn."

The Datang barracks also slowly quieted down.

At dawn, a group of Tang army officers and soldiers gathered, and then left directly.

On the Tubo side, spies had already been sent to watch Tang Jun's movements. Tang Jun left, but naturally he couldn't hide it from the Tubo spies, so soon, the Tubo spies went back and told Halulu about the situation.

Halulu was not surprised to hear that Tang Jun had escaped. They could afford it, but Tang Jun couldn't afford it. If so, Tang Jun would have to escape.

However, with such a short time, where can Tang Jun escape?
"Let the soldiers eat, feed our war horses, and then follow me to kill them. We will drag them to death."

"Here!"

After the Tubo soldiers took orders, they began to act.

In this way, about an hour later, the Tubo soldiers and horses finally moved. They were not in a hurry, because they were cavalry, and their speed was not known to be much faster than that of the Tang army.

Even if Tang Jun was allowed to go ahead for an hour, it would be like playing for them to catch up with Tang Jun.

However, just when they were about to chase after them, a horse feeder hurried over and said very anxiously: "No, General, something happened, our horse, our horse can't move. , They... they seem to be poisoned."

Hearing that something happened to their war horse, the crowd immediately became a little worried. This war horse is their treasure. Without the war horse, what kind of cavalry are they?
Ha Lulu hurriedly led the people to the stables. When they came here, they saw that their horses were lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and some of them were even foaming at the mouth. They were immediately outraged.

"Damn, hate, it must be Tang Jun's work, they are simply too hateful, I want to kill them, I want to kill them..."

Angry roars came from the stables, and a group of people looked at each other, but apart from being angry, they didn't know what to do.

After a long time, someone asked: "General, in this situation, what should we do? Should we go after those Tang soldiers?"

It was easy for them to chase Tang Jun when they had horses, but now that they don't have horses, it is difficult to chase Tang Jun. They may never be able to catch up with Tang Jun.

Halulu stared and asked, "How many war horses are there?"

"Returning to the general, there are still five thousand horses available."

"Okay, five thousand soldiers and horses go to chase the Tang army first, but remember, don't fight with them, or you will die. Just keep harassing them. The rest, gather for me and chase after them. How about it, we must hold them back until our reinforcements arrive."

Things have changed, but Halulu is a well-known general in Tubo after all, and he quickly made some countermeasures.

Moreover, he was not dazzled by anger. He knew what to do in the face of the current situation. Five thousand cavalry can completely harass Tang Jun. After all, their speed is very fast, Tang Jun will not to encircle them.

Tang Jun couldn't encircle and suppress them either.

After Halulu gave such orders, someone immediately led the order to make arrangements. Not long after, five thousand Tubo cavalrymen chased and killed the Tang army in a mighty direction. The remaining soldiers and horses, after some gathering, Also chased.

Of course, compared to the first cavalry, their speed must be much slower.
