Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 593 Chapter 610: Hu Peeping at Qinghai Bay

The mutiny launched by the Garqin Mausoleum this time is no small matter, and Songja Mima is just a fuse. Although the Garqin Mausoleum controls the families of the nobles and ministers, there are so many nobles and ministers in Luoxi City, and Among them are generals, he can't control them all, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

As a result, some nobles and generals mobilized their troops privately to fight against the army of the Garqin Mausoleum in Luoxie City. However, their strength was limited, and they were quickly wiped out by the Garqin Mausoleum. The [-] army was wiped out. All the ministers who participated in the war were charged with treason and beheaded in public in the downtown area of ​​the city, and none of their family members were spared.

Blood flowed like rivers in some cities, and the families of those ministers were huge, and the family members of all the ministers added up to a thousand people. It was spectacular to behead them all in the city. There were only more than 50 executioners in the city, which was not enough. It's been a long time.

After the cleaning of Garqin Mausoleum, the Tubo court was quiet, and there was no longer any voice of opposition. The officials finally saw what it means to be a tiger father without a dog. Now his son is more powerful than him. Two days later, under the leadership of Zuo Rushuai Solang Gazan, an army of [-] troops left Luoxi City and headed north.

After sending out the army, Garqin Mausoleum flexed its muscles in the court and implemented all the policies that had been opposed by the officials before. This is his long-planned policy of strengthening the country, but it was delayed by the short-sighted ministers. That's all, no one dares to obstruct it now, and he will wait until he takes the opportunity to implement it.

Tubo had spies in Datang, so Li Hao naturally also placed spies in Tubo. Most of Li Hao’s special forces were trained by children of foreign races, and there were special scouts. Language, but also proficiency in lip language, when the mutiny was launched in the Galqin Mausoleum, a flying pigeon flew out of Luoxie City.

Half a month later, when Solanga Zan came to the vicinity of Qinghai with an army of [-], Li Hao had already received the letter from Feige. Li Hao was holding a note in his study, and after reading it for a while, he couldn't help but sighed. : "What a Garqin mausoleum, who used such an iron fist to control Tubo, I am not as good as him in this regard, I am too merciful."

He lifted the lampshade, burned the note, frowned and said slowly: "After the Garqin Mausoleum takes over the power, it will definitely vigorously develop the national power of Tubo. It seems that the matter of attacking Tubo...is sooner rather than later."

During this period of time, Peng Hai sent three times more scouts than usual to patrol the entire coast of Qinghai. thing.

On the third day of March, a scout Kuai Ma came back to report to Peng Hai that he had found [-] Tubo troops by the bank of Zhaling Lake. Peng Hai immediately wrote a letter to send Kuai Ma to Fucheng City, requesting an official document from Zhi Shi Si Li.

For two days, Peng Hai sent scouts to keep a close eye on the movements of the Tubo army. In two days, the Tubo army had left Zhaling Lake, sneaked into the border of Qinghai, and headed north.

After receiving the official document, Peng Hai left [-] troops to defend the city, and took [-] Qinghai Guards to set off quickly, making a detour to the north, preparing to stop the Tubo army.

The [-] Qinghai Guards led by Peng Hai are all cavalry, and they are heavy cavalry. Raiders require training, and everyone is equipped with iron shields and long-handled Mo Dao, both offensive and defensive.

However, the Qinghai Guards and the Xuanjia Raiders are different. The Xuanjia Raiders need tacit training to form strange armored battle formations, but the Qinghai Guards don't need it. Li Hao's requirement for them is an invincible charge, simple Brutal lethality, extraordinary individual combat ability, and the ability to resist arrow rain. The iron shield held by each Qinghai Guard is a round shield with a diameter of 65 cm and sharp edges. When there is no weapon, this iron shield can also kill the enemy. , Such an iron shield is not too big or small, and can be used flexibly on horseback. In terms of individual combat capability, it even surpasses the Xuanjia Raiders.

The weight of the round iron shield plus Mo Dao is fifty catties. Everyone wears leather armor and iron helmets, which can not only maintain flexibility, but also provide a strong defense with the iron shield. Even the head and body of the horses are covered. The leather armor can charge against the rain of arrows. Such a well-equipped cavalry has already become the most elite troop in the Tang Dynasty after undergoing rigorous training.

The Qinghai Guard marched very fast. After all, they were all cavalry. In seven days, they arrived in the territory of the former Yaoqiang Kingdom. It used to be the territory of Tubo, but it was snatched by the Tang Dynasty.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Peng Hai used the simple telescope that Li Hao gave him to observe the terrain. He found that the mountain pass in front of him was quite suitable for an ambush, but he finally gave up his plan to ambush the mountain pass.

Although the terrain here is good, the opponent's general should not be stupid. It can be seen that this is a good place for ambushes, and he must be on guard. Moreover, the [-] troops he leads are cavalry, and they are not good at mountain climbing. The mountains on both sides are too steep , and they don't have props such as rocks and logs for a while, so they are not suitable for ambushes here.

The ambush site he chose was in an abandoned ancient city more than 100 miles north of the mountain pass. It was Yixun City left over from the Han Dynasty. Later generations called it Milan Ancient City. After the demise of Loulan, the ancient city of Milan and Loulan were once abandoned and no one repaired them. After years of wind and rain, they were naturally dilapidated.

After Ruoqiang was destroyed by Tubo, Tubo naturally occupied the territory of Ruoqiang, and because of its important geographical location, Tubo repaired it and used it as a fortress to guard the frontier. However, after several wars, the ancient city of Milan was dilapidated again, and Because of the establishment of Qinghai Guard, this place has been completely reduced to Tang soil, and the ancient city of Milan has been abandoned again. Now Peng Hai plans to lead troops to ambush in the city.

Two days later, Solangazan led his troops to the mountain pass. He saw steep peaks on both sides and a canyon hundreds of feet wide in the middle. Solangazan immediately raised his hand to stop the army. Although he was young, he acted calmly and Well versed in the art of war, the terrain of this mountain pass is definitely a good place for an ambush. Just in case, he ordered two capable personal guards to climb the peaks on both sides to investigate first.

The two personal guards spent nearly two hours climbing the peaks on both sides, and then flagged at the top of the mountain to signal that everything was safe. Solanga Zan then ordered the army to continue to move through the mountain pass.

In Yixun City, Peng Hai used his binoculars to climb up and look south every day. He didn't even dare to send out scouts in case he was discovered by the Tubo army. Finally, he saw the Tubo army, and they were coming here in dense numbers. The only way to go to Western Turks, I am not afraid that they will not come.

Peng Hai immediately ordered the whole army to prepare, and he was the only one who occasionally hid in a high place in the city and used binoculars to secretly observe the enemy's situation.

Solangazan led an army of [-] troops closer and closer. After passing the mountain pass, Solangazan gradually became more courageous. After all, according to normal thinking, if the Tang army wanted to stop them, they would definitely choose within the mountain range. Now that they have left the mountain pass, they are no longer within the range of Qinghai. This place already belongs to the territory of the Anxi Protectorate, and the troops of the Anxi Protectorate are far away from this place, so there is absolutely no way to control them.

Seeing that Yixun City was just ahead, Solangazan couldn't help ordering the army to speed up their pace, and then the whole army stopped in front of Yixun City, looking at the dilapidated Yixun City, Solangazan narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed slowly Said: "This is Yixun City. Once, it belonged to our Tubo, and it was our Tubo's fortress."

The general O Biluo at the side said loudly: "Ru Shuai, one day, we will take it back!"

"Well said!" Suolang Gazan said with deep eyes, "Now Dalun Qinling is in charge of Tubo, and he is in control. If he leads Tubo, the country will be strong and the people will be rich. In less than five years, Tubo's national strength will be multiplied several times. Sheng, that's when we will be ashamed of the Tang Dynasty, and it's not just Yixun City that will be recaptured!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud "buzz", Suorang Gazan's face suddenly changed drastically, and then his pupils shrank violently, and he shouted in horror: "Enemy attack!"

He clearly saw a dark cloud flying towards them in the sky, no, it was not a dark cloud, it was obviously a rain of arrows covering the sky, it was too dense, so it looked like a dark cloud.

However, when he yelled, it was already too late. Only a few personal guards reacted and raised their shields to protect him. Countless arrows fell into the army, and there were screams everywhere.

"Om—" There was the sound of uniform bowstrings again in the city, and there was another rain of arrows. The Tubo army was in a mess. The soldiers hurriedly searched for cover, or raised their shields to resist. Hit, screamed and wailed.

"Quick retreat!" Nearly [-] people were lost before even seeing the enemy's face. Solanga Zan panicked, and had no choice but to retreat at this time, after all, he didn't know the enemy's strength.

With an order, the Tubo army hurriedly retreated, but the army formation was too large to turn around for a while.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of cavalry rushed out of Yixun City, shouting: "The Tang Dynasty is victorious!" Holding iron shields and Mo Dao, they rushed towards them on horseback.

"The infantry is at the rear, the cavalry retreats to the rear first, and straightens up! The archers open their bows to defend against the enemy!" Solangazan tried his best to calm himself down. He is a man of real ability. Although he was attacked, he did not panic.

I saw the Tubo cavalry turned their horses around the infantry one after another, put them back and retreated. At the same time, they began to form a formation. Block the Tang cavalry.

However, when the Qinghai Guards saw the rain of arrows coming, they raised their iron shields one after another to block them. The horses were covered with leather armor, and the arrow rain from Tubo did little damage to them.

A cavalry team of 3000 people took the lead in rushing into the Tubo infantry formation. Everyone used iron shields to resist the enemy's spears, and swung the Mo Dao wildly, just like harvesting straw. .

Another [-] cavalry roared in from the rear, and that was not enough, there were countless cavalry rushing out of the city from the rear.

Solangazan's scalp was numb. He looked at the [-] infantry and archers, and knew that they could not escape. If they turned around and fought at this moment, the entire army might be in danger of being wiped out. So he gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: " withdraw!"

Then he rushed away with the cavalry, and he sold the more than 1 infantry and archers just like that. Archers, then those who greet him will be wiped out.
