Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 953

The wind blows the red flag and it cannot be turned over, and the ground is covered with rocks with the wind.

Twelve thousand Qin troops plus thirty thousand Tuyuhun troops braved the wind and snow to walk on the plateau.The cold wind is bitter, and the further south you go, the worse the weather will be.

At this time, Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses were fine, but Siye's Qin army had gradually become unbearable.

They have already begun to feel the malice brought by the plateau. Most of Siye's soldiers and horses come from the Guanlong Heshuo area. plateau.

The altitude is getting higher and higher, and the altitude sickness is getting more and more serious.

The altitude of the Hehuang Valley is only more than 2000 meters, but it rises to more than 4000 meters near Dafeichuan.

Many Qin Jun began to experience dizziness, headache, palpitation, and even diarrhea.

Even if the reaction is mild, they still feel exhausted, feel weak in limbs, and are gasping for breath.

Because Siye was going to catch Tianzhu King by surprise, the 2000 people he led this time moved forward again with speed and speed.

From the low-altitude Qinghai Lake to the high-altitude Dafeichuan, the soldiers did not have a process of adaptation, and the reaction was even more violent.

Even if they were riding horses, everyone felt as if they were marching on foot with heavy loads.

"Under the festival, this place is very evil, we brothers can't stand it anymore, do you want to take a rest?"

Siye held the Mo Dao in his hand, and looked back on the horse, watching the red flags rolling across the mountain road, and the long procession winding along.He shook his head, "No, the two groups of Cheng Mingzhen and Xue Wanjun are already on their way. If we fail to arrive on time, they may be surrounded and wiped out by the Tuyuhun people."

"Brothers, grit your teeth and persevere. When we arrive at Dafeichuan, we will destroy the five thousand soldiers of King Tianzhu, and then we can rest."

Those soldiers who reacted violently were left behind by Si Ye, who asked them to rest temporarily and then came.

Then move on.

From Qinghai Lake to Dafeichuan, although there is a valley road that is feasible, it is winding and difficult. It seems that it is only two or three hundred miles, but in fact it is seven or eight hundred miles.

Along the hot spring mountain road, the further south you go, the more Qin Jun has adverse reactions.

When it was more than 100 miles away from Dafeichuan, some Qin soldiers began to die.

These people actually died of acute edema or heart disease due to altitude sickness, but the current military doctors can only attribute it to the bad weather.

At this time, the sky was covered with heavy snow, fluttering and falling.

There are still more than 100 miles away from Dafeichuan, but the Qin army has 2000 people, and at this time it has reduced its staff by no less than [-].

The remaining 1 people were also exhausted, as if they had just experienced a three-day and three-night battle.

Faced with this situation, the generals once again asked Siye whether to take a rest first.

"Pick out soldiers who are still in good health and physical strength from the army, and continue to advance with this commander."

Out of 1 people, only 3000 were selected.

The remaining [-] had to stay temporarily to rest and wait for the soldiers who fell behind.

After feeding the horses and eating simple porridge with dried meat floss, Siye led [-] Qin troops and more than [-] Tuyuhun cavalry, and continued to march towards the vast snow.

After five days of continuous marching, Siye finally arrived at Dafeichuan.

To the west of Dafeichuan is Dashan, and to the east is the Taotao Yellow River.

Dafei Ridge.

The Tianzhu Tribal Army set up a gate on the ridge, stationed five thousand troops, and stored a lot of food, grass, equipment and other supplies.

In the midst of the blizzard and snow, Tianzhuling, the son of Tianzhu King who was guarding the Dafeiling camp gate, got a piece of information that made him uneasy. His ranger found that a soldier and horse appeared on the east bank of the Yellow River, about ten thousand people. The banner is flying the red flag, and there are many Qiang cavalry from the Longyou tribe.

This news alerted Tianzhu Mausoleum. He was the eldest son of King Tianzhu and a veteran general.

Earlier, King Tianzhu sent envoys to the Qiangdi tribes in Longyou and Hexi to persuade them to send troops.But now it is the red flag, which is obviously the arrival of the Qin army.

He immediately sent Qingqi to report to Tianzhu King.

But in the next few days, bad news came one after another.

In their southeast direction, another army came.

"The soldiers and horses in the northeast should have crossed Lianyun Mountain, and they probably came from Xiping County or Piaohe County. The southeast army probably came from Lintao County, and came over Xiqing Mountain. Unexpectedly, Qin The army came so fast, they actually came over the mountains, and it was even more unexpected that there would be so many Qiangdi troops."

The Qin army on the opposite side of Xiqingshan and Lianyunshan came, so with his keen war experience, he immediately realized that these two groups could never act alone, they must be united.

And since two troops have come to the east, which is the most difficult to march, there should be a large army in the north.

After some speculation, Tianzhu Mausoleum came to the conclusion that the siege was from at least three sides this time, with at least [-] soldiers and horses.

"General, shall we continue to stand firm and wait for help, or leave here?"

Tianzhuling said, "It's obvious now that the Qin army is here for the 5000 people on Dafei Mountain. They want to eat us in one bite."

The barracks on Dafei Mountain are not stone fortresses, but wooden fences, but there are also certain fortifications, occupying dangerous positions, and the defense ability is acceptable.

But five thousand against fifty thousand, especially when facing the Qin army, Tianzhu Mausoleum is not sure.

Stand firm and wait for help, I am afraid that the reinforcements will not arrive.

"General, why don't we transfer to Wuhai, the king is gathering in Wuhai."

Wuhai City is the base camp of King Tianzhu, in the southwest of Dafei Mountain, next to Wuhai Lake.

The previous original plan was to go northward in two ways. The King of Tianzhu gathered troops from the three tribes of Tianzhu in Wuhai, and Tianzhu Mausoleum led 5000 people to be stationed on Dafei Mountain in the east, and store food, grass and luggage there. , Waiting for [-] Tubo riders to come.

Then when the time comes, there will be two routes from east to west, and the troops will go north.

But now, the Tubo people have not yet arrived, but the Qin army has killed them first.

"If you leave now, it's not easy to carry the luggage, but if you give up these luggage, the Tibetans will have no food supply when they come."

"Then take the baggage away together, we'll still be there."

Tianzhu Mausoleum is from Tuyuhun, and even more so from Qiang. The method of using soldiers that he learned since he was a child is never to fight head-on.

Therefore, at this time, if a Qin army guards Dafeiling, he may think of sticking to it.

But Tianzhu Mausoleum decided to withdraw from the encirclement.

make a prompt decision.

Tianzhu Mausoleum ordered the entire army to evacuate Dafeiling and take away the luggage at the same time.

Five thousand soldiers, plus about 1 tribal people, followed by transferring the luggage, and the team pulled extremely long.The yaks were fully loaded with luggage and moved extremely slowly, which greatly slowed down the retreat speed of Tianzhu Mausoleum.

The sky was cloudy and snowy.

The Tianzhu army withdrew from Dafei Ridge and walked eastward for a day, but they had only traveled a few tens of miles. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, a black tide appeared on the vast snowfield to the north!
Immediately afterwards, a red flag jumped out, dazzling in every way!
