Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 97 An Fuyan's Trick
The night just past didn't stop, Tubo attacked four times in a row, but they were all feints.

Everyone knew that Maza Tata didn't want people to rest, and planned to attack after dawn.

Han Ping'an didn't sleep well all night, and climbed up the mountainside at dawn, holding up the binoculars to observe the distance, and was anxiously thinking about when the reinforcements would arrive, when Chen Lvshuai suddenly exclaimed: "That's not right!"

"Father, what's the matter?" Qu Tong subconsciously asked.

Chen Biao murmured, "The horses are gone, and Maza Tata's cavalry are all gone."

Han Pingan reacted, quickly adjusted the direction and focus, observed carefully for a while, and suddenly found that, as Chen Lvshuai said, he couldn't see a single horse in the Tubo camp.

Han Pingan put down the binoculars, turned around and asked, "Is the old bastard Maza running away, or is he letting the cavalry hide and give us a fatal blow at a critical moment?"

"They attack, we defend, what's the use of letting the cavalry hide."

"That's running away."

"Will he want to take a detour back?" Su Dasushi took the telescope.

Chen Biao thought for a while, then shook his head: "We have destroyed the lair, what can those people with horses do if they go around? Even if they want to go around behind us, it will take at least five or six days. They can kill horses and eat meat to satisfy their hunger." , What do these people at the bottom of the mountain eat, can they last for five or six days?"

Han Pingan thought of a possibility, and frowned immediately: "Su Da, it is impossible for him to go back to attack Yele City, he has gone to attack your father Khan in all likelihood, and the only way to survive is to go to your father Khan! "

Su Da realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked eagerly, "Then what should we do?"

"They are crazy now. Your two elder brothers have too few soldiers. If you go after them now, you will easily be killed. Besides, there are still many Tibetans at the foot of the mountain. If your second and third brothers leave, it will be even more difficult for us to defend."

"But my father Khan..."

"Your father Khan has dangers to defend, and it will take at least seven or eight days for them to rush there. As long as the reinforcements arrive and deal with these Tibetans in front of us, we can go after the old bastard Mazha."

Anyway, that's my dear father...

Su Dasushi was in a state of anxiety, when the sound of war drums came from the foot of the mountain.

Countless Tubo slaves stepped on the drums and pressed up. It could be vaguely seen that six or seven square formations with a width of one mile were formed. The people in front were all dead, and the people behind continued to go up. This is a battle to the death!
Han Pingan took a deep breath, and immediately turned around and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, hurry up and get ready."

Being able to hold on yesterday does not mean being able to hold on today, Yinniang nodded slightly, pulled Qu Tong who was hesitant to speak, and turned away.

This is planning for the worst. If Mr. Li can't stand it, he will lead the regiments down the mountain to retreat.When the Tubo army invaded the mountain pass, they would use the remaining 230 thunderbolts to explode!

Chen Biao stared at the Tubo army that was getting closer, and pondered: "They don't have cavalry, so Suda Bolu and Suda Sagon can charge from both sides."

Han Pingan reacted, and hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, send an order!"

Basang and the remaining warriors such as Dorji attacked aggressively with the will to die. The forward was more than a mile away from the Tang army, and several slaves were beheaded because they walked too slowly.

Suda Bolu and Suda Sagon knew how dangerous it would be to wait for them to rush to the mountain pass. When they saw the signal from Han Pingan's guards waving the command flag on the mountainside, they pulled out their scimitars and led their troops to rush down.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the sound of hooves is like thunder.

The two groups of cavalry were like two bloodthirsty dragons, charging into the Tubo forward from the left and right sides, but the dust was too heavy to see anything clearly.

By the time the two giant dragons pierced through Tubo's formation and made a small circle to continue their charge, the Tubo forward had already arrived at the front of the formation commanded by Li Chengye and the night watchmen.

The previous row of overwhelming formations has been rushed to pieces, and the slaves who can walk to the front of the formation under the rush of Turkic warriors are neither as many as before, nor have the same morale as before, and even have no effective command. Beheaded to death.

Tubo immediately adjusted its offensive formation, and sent two groups of slaves to the two sides to cover the second group of about [-] slaves to attack the mountain pass.

However, where the flesh and blood could stop the cavalry, the cover formation was quickly pierced by the Turkic cavalry, and the second group of slaves who came to attack were rushed to pieces just like the first group of slaves.

Chen Biao has experienced many battles, but he has never seen such a battle, and murmured: "They are crazy, they are paying for their lives."

Su Da Sushi was also shocked by Tubo's desperate fighting style, and muttered: "The horses are gone. If they don't attack, they will die. It is better to seek death than to wait for death."

Through the binoculars, Han Pingan clearly saw that several Tubo warriors not only did not hide when they saw the cavalry, but rushed to embrace the horse's legs, and said solemnly: "They are exchanging their lives for their lives, and your second and third children have lost a lot. "

"How many times can we go back and forth?"

"At most two more rushes."

"I'll go down and have a look."

"and many more."

Chen Biao grabbed Su Dasushi and looked to the northwest: "Changshi, there seems to be dust and smoke to the west, hurry up and see if it is the Tubo cavalry or our reinforcements."

"Oh." Han Pingan hurriedly adjusted his direction.

It's too far away and the focal length is very difficult to adjust. He was cursing the shoddy goods for being weak, Su Dasushi exclaimed: "There is also dust and smoke in the north!"

Han Pingan didn't look at it at all, put down the binoculars and said excitedly: "The old bastard Maza has no reason to hide the cavalry so far away, let alone hide behind them. They must be our reinforcements."

Li Chengye and the others were under little pressure at the moment, but Su Dabolu and Suda Shagun couldn't hold on for long.

Without the charge of the Turkic cavalry, Li Chengye and the others would definitely not be able to withstand Tubo's desperate offensive posture.

Han Pingan settled down, and roared: "Light up the wolf smoke, light up all of them for me!"

……

Although Wang Qingxiang has a map, there is no road in the high and cold wasteland.

I only know that it is not far from the Kela Pass, but I don't know where it is, and even the guide can't tell why.

While he was marching, he was anxiously waiting for the scouts to report, when he suddenly noticed several smoke rising from the southeast, he immediately pulled out his horizontal knife, and roared: "Sanlang and Li Chengye are there, all the soldiers obey the order, follow this general to charge and kill!"

At the same time, Han Shimei, who was also looking for the Kela Pass, also saw the wolf smoke, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.

Cui Han could understand his mood at this moment, but he didn't care about congratulations. He drew out his sword and pointed towards the southeast. General Hu, who was riding side by side, immediately turned around and gave orders. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of knights drew out their scimitars one after another. , Aoao screamed and drove the horse to rush over.

Basang had seen the wolf smoke a long time ago, and he had just been fooled once yesterday evening, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

In fact, even if there was Tang Jun behind him, he still couldn't care about it. The most urgent task was to capture the mountain pass and kill Han Sanfeng and Li Chengye for revenge.

The warriors and slaves who attacked in the third group were all killed in battle, and the fourth group of slaves rushed forward driven by the warriors.

Basang looked at the three or four Turkic cavalrymen who had charged back and forth in the distance, and said coldly, "Ram is dead, Dorji, it's your turn."

"Okay, I'll take a step first."

Dorje drew out his scimitar, and led a group of slaves straight to the left flank, fighting desperately with the Turkic cavalry to cover the army and continue to attack the mountain pass.

Su Daburu had a great time killing at first, like chopping melons, he didn't know how many Tibetans he killed, but now he didn't dare to rush to kill again.

Tubo is really desperate.

At least three or four hundred brothers were stumbled by Tubo with their flesh and blood in the back and forth rushing just now. Those thimble ropes were not nailed to the ground with wooden stakes, but were tied around the waist, and several people were tied at both ends, and they could move. When you see you coming to kill, come up from both sides and outflank.

While trembling with fear, deafening cheers suddenly came from the higher mountain pass.

He turned his head subconsciously, and saw the dust rising from behind the Tubo army, and then turned to look at the mountainside, and suddenly found that the little lunatic's personal guards were waving the command flag, telling him to retreat quickly.

Reinforcements are coming?

The reinforcements must have arrived, and it's hard to say whether they will be accidentally injured by the red-eyed reinforcements if they don't withdraw.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to retreat.

The rapid sound of horseshoes was like countless people beating drums, and the frozen ground was shaking. One could imagine how many cavalrymen had arrived.

Basang realized that Han Sanfeng and Li Chengye really had reinforcements this time, but he couldn't believe there would be so many, let alone where they moved the reinforcements from.

The fifth group of slaves who were about to rush to Taniguchi hesitated, no matter how the samurai drove them away, they did not dare to rush again.

Basang was so anxious that a cavalry wearing animal skins rushed into the battlefield, passing through the empty camp like an arrow, and killing more than 3000 slaves who were left behind as surprise soldiers.

"The Grolu people..."

"It's really a Grolu!"

A few warriors guarded him in the center, raised their knives and asked in panic, "Isn't An Fuyan fighting with Grolu, why would Grolu help them, and why did he come here from such a far away?"

More and more cavalry came into the battlefield from all directions, including Ge Luolu people, frontier troops, and even Hu cavalry recruited by the Tang people in Anxi, but they were mainly Ge Luolu people.

In a blink of an eye, the samurai and slaves under him were scattered by the rushing Tang army. Some gathered in a circle to fight on their own, some fled in all directions, and some crawled on the bloody ground begging for mercy.

The situation is gone, and there is no way to return to the sky.

Basang threw down the knife and said with a miserable smile, "This is An Fuyan's trick. He didn't go to conquer the Grolu tribe at all. He just waited for us to go down the mountain. We should have thought of it..."

Su Dabolu was covered in blood, and he drove his horse along the gentle slope to the mountainside, overlooking the battlefield full of killings, and asked out of breath, "Sanlang, how many reinforcements are here?"

Han Pingan drank the grape wine and said with a sigh of relief: "More than 3000 warriors from the Ge Luolu tribe came, and 1 from the Jimi tribe from Guishu, including the soldiers from Guishu Town, and my father and General Wang. There should be [-] people."

"So many!"

"Maza Tata has nothing to do with him unless he comes out. As long as he dares to come out, my father-in-law will naturally not miss this opportunity."
