They were attacked by water first, and then by fire. How could these Tubo soldiers have the desire to fight?

Regardless of the roaring and scolding of the Tubo officers, they pushed and rushed towards the mouth of the valley.

As soon as the fire sparks met the pile of dead wood soaked in tung oil, it burned several feet high, and when it got close, it would burn people all over.Thick gray smoke poured into the valley mouth along the south wind, pressing heavily on the heads of the Tubo soldiers, blocking their retreat.

The tongue of fire sang the dirge of the soul with a grin, devouring all living things that tried to get close.The light of the fire shines brightly, making the night as bright as the day.Under the plain white sky, what is presented is a vivid picture scroll.There is no singing of the beauty of all things, no singing of insects and birds, only endless pain and heart-piercing wailing under the embers of the night.People were shot through by feather arrows, burnt through by rockets, and poured down by thick smoke, and ended their lives in pain.Frightened and puzzled faces were engraved on the dome-shaped whiteboard.

Why?Why?

"Huh!" "Huh!" Tubo soldiers poured a lot of poisonous smoke from their mouths and noses, panting like wild dogs in the summer wilderness, they scratched their extremely itchy necks desperately, their cheeks were already suffocated Sauce purple se.

"Toxic smoke, poisonous smoke, cover your mouth and nose, cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth!" Jiuqu Governor Eszang single-handedly held the rein of the horse, his eyes wide open.This group of Tang Kou obviously mixed poisonous Artemisia seeds and heartbroken grass in the firewood push, and wanted to take advantage of the terrain to choke everyone to death!

What a poisonous heart!

Eszang was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to show it.The general is the courage of an army, if even he is afraid, then what is the leader in this battle?

"Quickly tear off the rags, quickly tear off the rags from the clothes." After receiving the order, the Tubo officers at all levels repeated the orders of the governor. There is hope of survival.

"Ah, ah!" Those Tubo soldiers woke up like a dream, hurriedly took off their rusty chain mail, and tore off a piece of cloth from their inner clothing.

"Hiss!" As soon as the cloth strip was pulled off, the soldiers wrapped it around twice and tied it tightly between the mouth and nose.

Having just passed through a 'flood', the last thing they need is a wet cloth, and a strip of cloth torn from their inner jacket may save their own life.

With the correct countermeasures, fewer and fewer Tubo soldiers fainted and died due to thick smoke.They were in a group of three, and a team of five was walking through the thick scorched smoke, looking for the direction, while waving spears, stirring up the raging fire piled up in front of them, and throwing them high into the distance.

Bug carving tricks!

Judging from the number, there are no more than a hundred of these fires. As long as you order people to clear the burning fires in time, you can effectively curb the spread of the fire.

Ace Zang sneered, his eyes fixed on Taniguchi.Thinking of trapping nearly [-] Tubo soldiers to death in the valley like this is really a dream come true!

......

"Captain! Are you really going to retreat?" Pu Dachui looked at Li Kuo in surprise, and couldn't believe that the words were spoken by General Li, whom he admired so much.

"Tell the brothers to withdraw from the first line of defense and retreat to the Luchai generation." Li Kuo shook his head and repeated again.

"This, this..." Pu Dachui clenched his fists, hesitating.

Dou Qing glared at him and said: "The seven-foot man looks like a woman, if the captain tells you to retreat, you will retreat!"

"Alas!" Pu Dachui waved his arms angrily, and left with a sigh.

"Brother Dou, tell everyone to take off the quiver from the horse, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle." The boy sighed and expressed his worry. "Is there no movement from Gao Shuai?"

Dou Qing's heart sank, she cupped her fists and gave a salute and said, "If you go back to Captain Captain, the Commander-in-Chief is still stationed around the Chuanshan Pass, saying that he wants to strictly prevent the Tubo garrison from coming back for help."

Li Kuo frowned and said, "We have only been in the Jiuqu area for only seven or eight days, is Gao Shuai a little overwhelmed?" The young man never understood why Gao Xiuyan stationed all his main force in the pass in the Guanshan area, as usual It is said that the Tang army was superior in numbers and forced the Tubo people out of the city. It should be annihilating the enemy in one go.However, Gao Shuai insisted on leading the main force to intercept the Tubo reinforcements. Could it be possible that he expected his [-] soldiers to wipe out the [-] Tubo army?

"This..." Dou Qing hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts truthfully: "Captain, it's not that your subordinates are careless, you should still leave yourself a way out."

After working in the Tang camp for many years, Dou Qing has a clear understanding of officialdom and social relations.Gao Xiuyan has repaired the relationship with Li Kuo on the surface, but in fact he has formed a big relationship with the boy.Some people, regardless of their kindness on the surface, may not be sure that they are hiding some extravagant thoughts in private.

After all, the most difficult thing to test is the human heart.

Li Kuo's heart sank, and several thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

Ever since she took the task of blocking Tubo Zanpu, Gao Xiuyan has been very happy.There was nothing unusual and suspicious about this, but Gao Xiuyan kept patting himself on the shoulder, telling him to stop the Tubo people for at least three days.

Three days, three days!

Only giving myself 5000 people, let myself guard the mountain pass for three days, how could it be so reasonable.

What's more, when he applied to him for a pair of riders, he flatly refused on the grounds that the ambush did not require horse fighting.Everyone knew that after the great victory at the mouth of the river, what Tang Jun needed most now was a mount. As the commander of an army, how could he be so stingy?

Could it be...

Hey, I must be overthinking myself.Even if he has an opinion on himself, he will raise it face to face; even if he doesn't like himself, there is no need to put Qian Paoze's life on it.

"Brother Dou, we have to believe in the handsome man. Three days, as long as we hold out for three days, we will be successful!" Li Kuo clenched his fists tightly, with a warm expression on his face.It takes at least five days to go back and forth from Chiling to Jiuqu. If he delays for three days, in eight days, Tang Jun can completely win the bridgehead on the snow-capped mountain!

"Decree!" Dou Qing cupped her fists and accepted the order gladly.

"Yanji, innocent. Go and check the traps on both sides of the gravel ditch, and make sure everything is safe!" The young man turned his gaze to the two friends,

"En." Both of them answered in unison, and assured with their eyes.

"Brother Tuba, please work with Yu Cheng to deploy the white wolf tribe's cavalry archers on the stone platform, and be ready to suppress the enemy with firepower at any time."

"I will not disgrace my life!" The two returned a standard military salute, their eyes full of determination.Although the warriors of the White Wolf Clan were not equipped as well as Tang Jun, they shot good arrows.Long shot at the high place, will be able to shoot the Tubo barbarians who are trying to seize the stone platform and flee.

"Where is Li Sheng?" Li Kuo looked around for a week, but did not see Li Sheng.

"General, I'm here!" I searched for the voice, but saw Li Sheng coming out of the crowd with a face full of black and gray, and clasped his fists at Li Kuo: "The Tubo people have already crossed the stone trench, and I have followed your instructions." Instructions to bring back all the robes."

"Yes." Li Kuo nodded and said, "I hope that brother Li Sheng can lead the veterans of the Tongwu Battalion and cooperate with the sledgehammer to withstand the frontal battlefield."

Li Sheng thought about it for a while and said, "It's not difficult to hold back for a while, but the Luchai generation has no danger to defend. If the Tibetans are colluding, I'm afraid they won't last long."

"You just have to hold on to me for three hours!" Li Kuo's face turned cold: "I can severely damage the Tubo army!"

"In that case, I will hand over my wealth and life to the general." Li Sheng joked with a hearty smile.

Li Kuo punched him on the shoulder with a smile and scolded: "The veterans of the Tongwu Battalion are my veterans, if you lose one, you can take it easy."

"Understood!" Li Sheng suppressed his smile and gave a military salute. "Three hours! If I, Mr. Li, can't last three hours, you can take this master's head!"

<Unwillingly squeezed over from behind, pursed his lips and said.

"Of course I won't forget you." Seeing the young man approaching, Li Kuo felt a warm feeling in his chest.Since the admission of Hekou generation Tang adherents, the atmosphere in the camp has become more and more active.They have gradually come out of the shadow of being enslaved by others and integrated into Tang Jun's life.The most gratifying thing for the teenager is that the eyes of these compatriots are no longer dull and stupid, but reveal a hope and expectation for life.

As long as there is hope, even the most difficult hurdles can be overcome!

"Have you seen the small hill next to the gravel ditch? I'll teach you to lead the soldiers of the Xiongwu and Zhenwu battalions to wave flags and shout on it, beating drums and ringing gold." Li Kuo patted Wang Xiaochun's arm and encouraged him.The survivors of the Tang Dynasty totaled nearly a thousand people. According to the military system of the Great Tang Dynasty, the youth roughly divided them into two battalions. Each battalion had a school lieutenant who temporarily commanded [-] brothers.Because of his courageous performance, Wang Xiaochun was promoted by himself as the supreme commander of the first battalion, and together with Er Gouzi, he took on the important task of training the reserve army of the Tongwu Battalion. <A sudden rush came: "Brother Li, why are the other brothers fighting on the front line, but we can only watch from behind. Could it be that Brother Li thinks that we are too thin and weak to be of much use?"

Li Kuo smiled and said, "Your thousand soldiers are vital to our life and death. I will not use them unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides, you shoulder a major mission in this battle. Can you It depends on your 'acting skills' if you can't force back the Tubo people's attack. "In an army, the responsibilities of hundreds of soldiers are different." Cavalry has the duties of cavalry, and infantry has the role of infantry. Said? Don’t doubt your own ability at any time, if you don’t even have enough confidence in yourself, how can you compete with others?” <immediately blushed, and bowed his head in shame.

"Remember that you are a Tang man, a man! No matter when, don't lower your noble head!" Li Kuo clenched the horizontal knife in his hand, resolutely.
