Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 246 Chapter 254: A Heavy Snow

Li Hao and Murazan held their arms and looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly they roared and rushed towards each other. There was a crisp sound of "Dang", the two weapons collided, and the confrontation of strength, although Murazan was burly, was shocked. He had to take three steps back, and lost in strength to the seemingly thin Li Hao. He was shocked in his heart. Li Hao was so fast that he charged again with a knife. This time he held the knife with one hand, obviously he did not intend to force it .

Murazan rushed to fight and attacked first. Li Hao dodged Murazan's scimitar sideways. The Tang knife drooped and cut towards Murazan's left leg. Zan's chest, this is already a bit like swordsmanship.

Murazan raised his saber to push aside Li Hao's Tang Dao, counterattacked, and slashed at Li Hao's face. However, his movements were too slow in Li Hao's eyes. Although Li Hao had only learned sword skills for more than ten days, He has fought bloody battles in Tingzhou, and he still has practical experience. The most important thing is that Li Hao is fast enough, not as fast as the three-second man, but his movements are fast, his reaction speed is fast, and he is very powerful, authentic As strong as a giant bear, as agile as a leopard, with the perfect combination of speed and strength, he was born to be a martial arts practitioner, but unfortunately... he is just too lazy.

Relying on the perfect combination of strength and speed, Li Hao quickly gained the upper hand, wielding his knife like rain, forcing Murazan to retreat steadily, and within thirty minutes, Murazan's arms and calves had been cut off. Five wounds were opened. Although the injuries were not serious, they obviously affected the action. As a result, Murazan's disadvantage was even more obvious.

"Break!" Li Hao yelled suddenly, and slashed his head with a knife, as if opening the sky.

Murazan's pupils shrank sharply, and there was no way to avoid it. He could only push the knife with both hands to resist. There was a loud bang, and Murazan's scimitar was split into two pieces, and Murazan himself was shocked by the huge force. Kneeling down on the ground, his hands were also split open, bleeding profusely. This time, Li Hao won the duel.

"Surrender? Or die?" Li Hao pointed at Murazan with Tang Dao and asked coldly.

Murazan said in blunt Chinese: "Jipindi is defeated in this battle, Ni is a hero, and I surrender."

Li Hao understood, he said that he was defeated for the first time in his life, that Li Hao was a hero and was willing to surrender, Li Hao said indifferently: "Our Tang Dynasty has hundreds of generals who are stronger than me, I am just the weakest. "He is bullying Murazan and has no experience."

Jin Li brought people over, got off his horse, and saluted happily: "Congratulations, Lord Hou, for your great martial arts!"

"Don't flatter me." Li Hao put the knife back into its sheath, and said, "Tie him up, hmph, robbed Tubo of food and grass, this time I'll see how Hou Junji can deal with me!"

Jin Li hurried forward and tied Murazan, and then followed Li Hao back to the army. The battle here is over, Zhu Ruihuan is leading people to clean up the battlefield, Li Hao stepped forward to stop Zhu Ruihuan, and asked: "Ruihuan , how was the result?"

Zhu Ruihuan said excitedly after hearing the words: "Return to the general manager, the results of the battle are great, haha, 300 people were captured, and all the others died, and none of them escaped."

"Yes." Li Hao nodded, looking at the carts of grain and grass, and said, "Set up camp here and return to Songzhou tomorrow."

"No!" Just as Zhu Ruihuan was about to take the order, Pei Miao, who was wearing a Taoist robe, suddenly ran over in a hurry, shaking his hands and shouting from a distance, "Don't go back!"

Li Hao turned his head to see Pei Miao, and asked suspiciously, "Why can't you go back to Songzhou?"

"I can't go anywhere." Pei Miao said, "I have carefully observed the sky these few days, and found that there will be heavy snow in two days, and I am afraid it will be difficult to travel."

"Oh?" Li Hao was startled when he heard the words. He knew that his master Zhiyuan Zhenren was good at observing the weather. Hao frowned and asked, "Mr. Pei, how sure are you?" He didn't want to reveal his relationship with Pei Miao, and it happened that Pei Miao was also wearing a Taoist uniform, so Li Hao respectfully called him Mr. Pei, and declared that Pei Miao practiced in the deep mountains The Qi Refiner, because of his good looks, looks very young, but he is actually nearly fifty years old. Unexpectedly, there are still people who believe this nonsense. Li Hao has to sigh at the degree of superstition of the ancients.

Pei Miao thought about it carefully and said, "I'm [-]% sure."

Li Hao's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had thought of some good idea, and then he said loudly: "I will pass on the order to transport the grain and grass to the pine forest on the slope first, and set up camp there, and wait for two days."

So the army began to get busy, moving food and grass.

Before sunset, after the camp was set up, Li Hao ordered many bonfires to be lit in the camp for the soldiers to enjoy themselves. There were not many others in the pine forest, but there were many pine branches, so there was no need to worry about whether there was enough firewood. Needlework soldiers, let them start to sew gloves, just sew some thick cloth gloves, or animal skin gloves, they have stayed here for so many days, they have killed a lot of prey, and the skins are kept.

As night fell, Li Hao and all the soldiers returned to the tent after dinner and looked at the military map. From time to time, his brows furrowed, and gradually, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a secretive smile. Whenever he smiled like this, someone would Bad luck.

Li Hao returned to the military case and sat down, calling out, "Come on!"

Jin Li and Chen Laosan, who were guarding outside the tent, lifted the curtain to enter the tent, and saluted together: "What is the order of Lord Hou?"

Li Hao said: "Jin Li, you go and escort Murazan here. The manager has something to ask him, and Chen Laosan goes to summon the interpreter."

"Yes!" Both of them took the order to retreat.

Since it is a campaign against foreign nations, each army will bring two or three translators, that is, the translators of later generations. Although Jin Li also understands a little Tubo, but only a little, it is still far from the distance of translation, so Li Hao If you want to interrogate Murazan, you must have an interpreter.

After a while, the interpreter came, and Murazan was also brought into the tooth tent, Li Hao raised his voice and asked: "Mulazan, let me ask you, this time the Tubo invaded Songzhou of Tang Dynasty, who is in command of your Tubo army? "

The interpreter translated Li Hao's words, and Murazan hesitated for a moment, thinking that this question was not considered a secret, so he replied: "The one who is going out this time is Marshal Godalman of Zhongru." Of course, he He spoke Tubo, and the interpreter translated his words into Chinese for Li Hao to listen to.

Li Hao asked again: "Is this Godalman good?"

When Murazan heard the words, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said: "Our Tubo Marshal Siru is the most powerful figure in Tubo!"

"Oh." Li Hao nodded, and asked seemingly casually, "How long ago did you receive his grain adjustment order?"

"Duohehe..." Murazan said a few words, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly stopped talking.

The interpreter had already told Li Hao: "My lord, he said two months."

Finally got the information he wanted, Li Hao grinned at Murazan with a smirk, Murazan was very angry, gave him a hard look, and muttered.

Li Hao turned his head and asked the interpreter, "What did he say?"

The interpreter was embarrassed for a while: "Return to the general manager, he said that our Tang people are too cunning."

Li Hao smiled triumphantly, stood up and said, "Tell him, this is not cunning, but a routine."

The interpreter translated according to his request, Murazan still stared at Li Hao, Li Hao waved his hand: "Jin Li, take him down, take care of him, don't make any trouble."

"Yes." Jin Li took the order and escorted Murazan out of the tent.

Li Hao sent the others away again, turned his head and glanced at the military map behind him, and said with a smile: "Two months, um, two months, almost."

Two days later, as Pei Miao said, it was snowing heavily. Luckily, Li Hao had already prepared to let the sergeants of each battalion light fires in the account to keep warm. He didn't even need a sentry post. Standing outside at this time Keep watch, it's no wonder you don't freeze to death.What's more, in this kind of heavy snow weather, even marching will become a problem, and there is no need to worry about enemy sneak attacks.

Wearing a fluffy fur coat, Li Hao walked out of the tent and looked at the heavy snow all over the sky. He was very happy. Even the Tubo army who grew up in the snowy plateau must have suffered from such heavy snow. Now he has robbed them again. Without enough food and grass, the Tubo army will be hungry and cold in a short time. There are only two ways to go. The first is to capture Songzhou and support the war with war; the second is to retreat.

After careful deduction, Li Hao felt that Tubo's first thought should be to capture Songzhou, but they were destined to fail. After all, there are nearly [-] soldiers in Songzhou City, and Tubo only has [-] troops. Songzhou City has high walls and thick walls. , easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Tang army is weak due to the cold weather, it will not allow the Tubo army to capture the city, unless Hou Junji has shit in his head.

And as long as Tubo can't attack the city, their only option is to retreat. Gansongling is the shortest route for the Tubo army to return home. Li Hao will wait for them here and let them know the price of invading Tang Dynasty.

Li Hao's deduction was very accurate. It snowed heavily for two days and finally stopped. The snow in Songzhou City was more than two feet thick. Many old houses were crushed and collapsed. There were more refugee camps in the city. Thousands of people lost their houses, and on the second day after the heavy snow stopped, the Tubo army was dispatched again to attack Songzhou City.

Due to the cold weather, the moat had already been covered with a thick layer of ice, which was no different from flat ground, and lost its ability to stop the enemy. ascend the city.

Having learned the lesson from last time, Hou Junji has been paying attention to keeping the soldiers warm these days to prevent frostbite. Even so, the low temperature of nearly minus [-] degrees outside is still too much for Tang Jun. Many Tang Jun's hands touched the weapons. It was stuck together with the weapon, and as long as he exerted force, a large piece of hand skin would be torn, which was extremely painful.

Such severe cold weather greatly reduced the combat power of the Tang army. This time the Tubo army did not attack the city frantically, but attacked every two or three hours. The morale of the army gradually began to slacken.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he had a whim and asked the soldiers to splash water on the city wall. When the water splashed on the city wall, it immediately froze. In less than two hours, the four walls of Songzhou were covered with shiny ice cubes. , sparkling and reflective in the sun, gorgeous and dazzling.

This method of holding on to the power of thinking is really wonderful. The city wall wrapped in ice becomes extremely smooth, and it is very difficult for those Tubo soldiers to climb the city. The ladder frame is good, as long as it shakes a little, the ladder will slide along the city wall Even if the ladder did not slip, those Tubo soldiers could not climb up the smooth city wall when they climbed to the end of the ladder. Many Tubo soldiers died because they slipped and fell from the city wall, not in battle.

Just splashing a little water on the city wall had such a miraculous effect that Hou Junji couldn't help praising the power of persistence. At this time, even if he had a problem with power of persistence, he could only put aside his suspicions for the time being. After all, he is the general manager of the march, and the victory of the war is the most important thing.

The Tubo army attacked for two days and was blocked by ice blocks all over the wall. Their commander was very depressed. They were able to make the Tang army into such a mess because of the help of the severe cold weather. Blessed by the severe cold weather, this cold weather is like a double-edged sword, which makes the Tubo army love and hate. There was not much food in COFCO, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and integrate the army to go north. He could not stay here any longer, otherwise he would surely die.
