Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 695
Chapter [-]

The autumn and winter in the Northwest are extremely dry, and the vegetation in Dafeichuan is dense. Usually, you must be careful about fire prevention.However, this man-made fire was out of control.

In an instant, it turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the smoke rose upwards. From day to night, it could be clearly seen from two hundred miles away!The flames were like a dragon, spreading mile after mile. Because the fire was so fierce, it felt like my whole body would be dried out if I got closer.

The Tubo cavalry still had the strength to run at the beginning, but the fire on the Dafei River quickly formed a local air convection, the so-called tornado, which enveloped more than [-] Tubo cavalry.

The fire burned for three days and two nights, and the entire Dafeichuan grassland was turned into ashes. On the fourth day, when the army backed Wei and stepped into the ocean of ashes, walls of ashes several feet long had accumulated in many places. The gray wall collapsed and filled the entire West Sea with the strong wind.

Even the originally azure blue West Sea has been covered with a layer of soot.Under some of the ashes there was still a dark fire, which scalded many horseshoes.Grass ash is a good fertilizer, and this grassland may grow more plump in the coming year, but at this moment, a hundred miles around has become a dead world after the fierce flames.

Under the leadership of Liu Tong and Xun Xiang, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army rode their horses into the Dafei River.In this fire, not too many Tubo people were actually burned to death, accounting for only about one-third, most of them were not trampled on each other, and of course the most were killed by the thick smoke.

Liu Tong came to a place that hadn't been burned by the fire. Seeing that they couldn't escape, the Tubo people mowed the grass frantically. The Tubo soldiers who were able to escape, and who were not dead for a while, instinctively rushed towards this fireless place. Tens of thousands of people gathered in an area the size of a football field, but they avoided the fire, but they did not die. Can avoid the smoke, the fire burns to the extreme, once the smoke smokes, hundreds of people will be smoked to death here.

Most of the people who died here didn't have any wounds on their bodies, and even their clothes were not damaged. However, tens of thousands of corpses were piled up in one place like arhats, but it made those who saw it shudder.

Even if these Tubo people still have armor, knives and guns, and maybe some money, but whether Liu Tong or looking for a relative, they don't want to disturb these Tubo people who are sleeping here.

When Dongben Zengren and Dongpuqiongdaang led thousands of Tubo cavalry to hear the news, they ignored Liangzhou City and hurried back.When passing through this huge mountain of dead bodies, they no longer had any thoughts, only one thought in their hearts.

Run back quickly.

As the saying goes, the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny.Their retreat was destined not to go smoothly, but what they met was the attack from the Beiwei army.Of course, this sniper killing is not with a sniper rifle, but like a sparrow war, point east, point west, and only pick out the Tibetan scouts or those who are alone.

In the battle between the Beiwei army and the Tubo people, the casualties were not large.After half a month of fighting, the casualties of the Tubo people were no more than 700. However, the blows, especially the psychological blows, to the trilogy under the command of Dongben Zengren and Dongpu Qiongdaang were very large, making Tubo People dare not go out to reconnaissance.

Da'ang and Zengren worked together and hurried back to Supi.

However, this retreat will naturally not be peaceful.The Beiwei army will never let them go back smoothly. Every night, they will face endless attacks from the Beiwei army, such as setting traps, digging horse traps as thick as bowls on the flat ground, and various hunting-style attacks. Every now and then, the Tibetans are bleeding.

The troops under the command of Da'ang and Zengren passed through Naluyi (Xinghai Daheba), then went to Nuanquan (hot spring), Liemohai (Kara Sea), crossed the sea (by the Yellow River in Maduo), and Yuezi Mountain (Bayan Kara Mountain), when crossing the Yak River (Tongtian River), the two men had less than [-] soldiers and horses.

More than 3000 people went out to fight, but now there are less than [-] people. What's more, they haven't even seen the face of the Tang people so far.

Now the Tubo army is almost stunned.

Just as the Tubo people were crossing the icy river, suddenly Da'ang screamed loudly.

Da Ang screamed: "Run!"

He hurriedly ran to the distance.

I only heard bangs and bangs, and the snow on the snow in the distance roared down like a thousand troops.

Marching on the snow field, the most terrible thing in winter is that it is best not to make a big movement, because it will cause an avalanche.In fact, it wasn't that Da'ang and Zengren were unlucky, but that this avalanche, like the fire in Dafeichuan, was all man-made.

Liu Tong discovered that the kerosene refined by Chen Ying, once ignited, would easily explode, like thunder.For this reason, he let the last six hundred catties of kerosene lie in ambush on the snow mountain of Tanggula Mountain.In order to create this avalanche, Liu Tong also used his brains.

He asked people to surround the cowhide into a cowhide house, buried fire oil in it, and placed a torch tied with a thin thread on it.A stick of thick incense is tied on a thin thread.When the ignited incense burns to the position of the thin thread, the thin thread is burned by the incense, and then the torch above it falls from the air to ignite six hundred catties of sealed kerosene.

After the kerosene exploded, a small avalanche with a width of more than ten miles was formed.However, the avalanche of tens of miles was enough to bury all the miserable troops under Daang and Zengren's command.

The Tibetans race against the avalanche.In fact, their speed could not keep up with the speed of the avalanche anyway, so one after another the Tibetans were buried by the snow.

……

Plans can never keep up with changes.

The news of the annihilation of the 20 Tubo army under the command of Rudi Zanggu has not yet been received by Chen Ying, but Chen Ying has received the news that Murong Fuyun led [-] Tuyuhun (including the common people) and all ethnic groups in the Western Regions. Allied forces, a total of [-] troops besieged the news of Gaochang City.

"His goal is not Gaochang City!" Chen Ying snorted coldly and said, "His real goal is Jinman County!"

"This..." Su Dingfang was even more horrified when he heard this, and shouted, "His...his goal...is our food?"

"That's right!" Chen Ying smiled wryly, "If Murong Fuyun doesn't make a move, it will be fine. If he makes a move, he will uproot our roots in the Western Regions."

After Chen Ying arrived in the Western Regions, he reclaimed 75 mu of wasteland.You can get a million shi of grain, which is more than enough to feed the [-] cavalry under Chen Ying's command.However, it is precisely because of this.The status of Jinman County is very important.

The Hexi Corridor is about to be blocked by heavy snow, and there is no way to get supplies from Liangzhou throughout the winter, so they can only rely on new grain from Jinman County.If there is an accident in Jinman County, then Chen Ying's lone army will definitely be defeated on its own without fighting.

Hearing this, all the generals became anxious at the same time: "General Protector, what are you waiting for now, we must return to Jinman County immediately!"

Chen Ying shook his head: "No, there is no news from Rudi Zanggu. Once we return to aid Jinman County and the Tibetans capture Liangzhou and cut off our connection with the imperial court, we will be even more passive."

In fact, what Chen Ying was thinking about was that Murong Fuyun, whom he underestimated, was only [-] miles from Gaochang City to Jinman County. For most cavalry in the Western Regions, this distance was at most three days.I am afraid that by the time Chen Ying received this urgent report, Murong Fuyun was already on his way to Jinman City.

For a journey of more than [-] miles, it would take five days to return to aid even on horseback.Time is running out.

When Zhang Shigui heard this, he immediately said in a hurry: "Master Protector, Murong Fuyun's goal is Jinman. He is not trying to defeat us, but to drive us out of the Western Regions. Jinmancheng is our root, and we must not allow any mistakes." Ah! Although Liangzhou is dangerous, the Tubo people, like the Turkic people, are not good at attacking the city. His Royal Highness King Qi can also defend the city. If there is a mistake...then...then we will be cut and surrounded by the enemies! But if we retreat to Jinman and defend with the city, it is enough to resist Tuyuhun's iron hooves. The regiment and the Tuyuhunye fought well, even if Tuyuhun Murong Fuyun joined forces with the Western Turks at that time, it might not be able to win us! As long as we keep the front line of Jinman, we can still wait for opportunities in the future!"

In fact, some of Zhang Shigui's subconscious words were not expressed. Li Yuanji was the governor of Liangzhou, but Chen Ying was not.Even if there was a mistake in the Liangzhou General Manager's Mansion, Chen Ying would not be held accountable by the imperial court.

Chen Ying's face was sullen, but he didn't agree.

The eyes of Su Dingfang and Guo Xiaoke met in the air.

Guo Xiaoke said: "The general protector, the last general invites you to fight, and the general protector comes back to help. The last general and General Su, we lead an army of [-] Yue cavalry to deal with the Tubo people here."

"No, the Yue cavalry army is not weak, but they are not the opponents of the Tubo people. Once we divide the troops, we will fall right into the arms of Rudi Zanggu." Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Now the autumn harvest of Jinman has been completed, the fields have been cleaned up, and the food has already entered the city. !The order of the Dadu Guards in the original version: The four counties of Tingzhou stood firm and waited for reinforcements, and used the fortified city to block the rebel army. Distribute the surplus weapons in the treasury to the people. The army led the way, and the nine clans were wiped out. With the order of the chief protector, all ethnic groups and tribes were issued. If they dare to follow the bandits, the chief protector will make their clan tops wither. The people in the Western Regions are ordered to kill the Tuyuhun people who are alone: ​​kill a beard and enjoy the fields Hundred acres!"

When the generals heard the words, their hearts moved.

I secretly said in my heart.Chen Ying is fighting with the tribes of the Western Regions!

Chen Ying said with murderous eyes: "If Murong Fuyun wants to come, let him come! Because his chance is only once! After this battle, I will make thousands of miles of grass grow in the open land of the Western Regions, and I will create a millennium Legend has it that from now on, Hu'er has learned a truth that he will be punished no matter how far away he is from the Tang Dynasty!"

A Biao flying horse, passing the Shule River, galloped west.They carried Chen Ying's order and conveyed it to all ministries!
At this moment, a group of cavalry from the southeast was also galloping.

Chen Ying's heart moved: "The Tubo people finally moved!"

The knights on horseback shouted and cheered: "Great victory, the Beiwei army wiped out the entire Ruyi Zanggu army, leaving no horse behind!"

Chen Yingxuan's heart finally relaxed.

Won.

This victory is too important.

Zhang Shigui asked timidly: "Then, the Chief Protector, what was your previous order?"

"Everything is business as usual!" Chen Ying shouted coldly: "Order all the ministries to move westward in a quarter of an hour, and let's go to Murong Yun to settle the accounts!"
