Red Tang

"When General Li and the others step over the row of dead trees, we will pull the hemp rope!" Dou Qing looked at the dancing lights and shadows in the distance, and ordered to the soldiers beside him. *The distress of the six hundred soldiers of the Tongwu disrupted the deployment of the captain, I just hope that the plan will not be ruined!

The sound of rumbling horseshoes broke the silence of the night, but seeing hundreds of Tang Qi passing by like wind and clouds in the distance, they did not stop for a moment.Most of the mounts carried two people on their backs, and the maroon blood dripped down from the horse's back.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps.

Tang Jun beside the gravel ditch finally understood why his captain came here so eagerly.Just behind hundreds of Tang cavalry, three thousand Tubo cavalry followed!Although the Tubo people were in a hurry and lost many horses at the fusion of the valley, but after all, the family was rich, so it was not a problem to take out some light cavalry.

Cavalry duels focus on speed and absolute numbers. Facing such a numerical advantage of the Tubo people, even if they are as brave as their own captains, how dare they go straight to the front?

Li Kuo was quite nervous at this moment. Although Yanji and Wuzui finished setting up the horse trap on time, would the Tubo people follow their predetermined route? (Note 1)

"Drive!" With a slash of his horsewhip, the boy resolutely led hundreds of Tang riders to the gravel ditch.

In fact, the vigilance of the Tibetans was not as high as Li Kuo imagined.After experiencing an unseemly "big victory", the Tubo people gradually found their confidence and wanted to annihilate the Tang army in one go, so as to eliminate future troubles.

Therefore, Eszang, governor of Jiuqu, handed over all the cavalry to his confidant adjutant Wei Xun, and ordered him to strangle all Tang Kou before the sun rose. ( )

Although Zhiqiluo, the military counselor, repeatedly persuaded the general to beware of the Tang army pretending to be defeated and setting up an ambush, Wei Xunqu retorted that Zhiqiluo was timid and short-sighted.

In his opinion, the main force of the Tang army has been defeated by him, and there are less than five hundred cavalry who went to the rescue, so why pretend to be defeated?

"Order, march at full speed, and be sure to catch up with Tang Kou in front of Yangjiaogou!" Wei Xunji pulled out his scimitar and pointed it at the night sky.

The Tubo people were already good at riding horses, so after listening to the commander's order, they tightened their grip on the horse's belly, shouted and followed.Three thousand light cavalry formed a thin and bright band, moving rapidly on the mountain road at high speed.

Turning around a huge boulder two or three feet high, the narrow mountain path suddenly became wider, and the distance between the Tubo people and the Tang cavalry in front was slowly shrinking.Wei Xun was overjoyed. Previously, the narrow mountain road could only accommodate three or four riders at the same time at the same time, and his own number advantage could not be used at all.But now, in the open mountains, he can completely wipe out Tang Kou with the three thousand Qingqi in his hand.

Judging from the blood on the ground, Tang Kou's mount was seriously injured, and its momentum had dropped sharply.With the stamina of plateau horses, they will be able to catch up quickly, and by then, they will be able to catch them all with a single finger.

"Order everyone to divide into east and west teams to attack Tang Kou!" Wei Xun Qu squinted his eyes halfway, as if he had already won the battle.

"Decree!" The military commander pulled out a dark green command flag, hung it on the flagpole and waved it vigorously.

"The former army is divided into two groups, the left and the right, and they will attack Tang Kou in a circle!"

"Divide into two teams and attack Tang Kou!"

These Tubo cavalrymen were all the best in the army, and they were already suffocated after being teased by the Tang people several times, so they were overjoyed to hear the order this time.Didn't Tang Kou want to run? Could it be that they could outrun the wolves on the grassland?

The hooves of the hooves were loud and powerful, and the distance between the Tubo people and Tang Qi was getting smaller and smaller.

Fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps.

Tang Kou was really in a hurry, and even rode his horse through a gravel ditch full of gravel and dead trees!

The Tubo cavalry couldn't believe their eyes, the horse is the second life of the cavalry, and such abuse of the horse is suicide!

Zhi Qiluo, the counselor, frowned, and hurriedly said: "General, I think Tang Jun's actions are a bit strange. There are obviously flat dirt roads on both sides of the stone ditch, why don't they go?"

Wei Xun waved his hands impatiently and said, "The people of Tang were scared out of their wits by us, how could they care so much?"

"Pass my general order, march at full speed, and surround Tang Kou from the east and west sides!"

In his eyes, the Tang people are invaders and demons who destroy their homeland, and they do not allow any mercy.

The Tubo soldiers uttered strange screams, held the reins and chased after them murderously.Some soldiers eager to do meritorious service even surpassed the horse of the main general Wei Xun and rushed to the forefront of the team.

Wei Xun didn't care about such an overstepping behavior.As long as Tang Kou can be completely wiped out, the reward he gets will be enough to spend for a lifetime, so why should he care about these vain gifts?

"Kill!" Nearly a hundred Tubo cavalry had arrived in front of the gravel ditch. They followed the command of the general Wei Xun to bypass the ditch full of dead wood and gravel, and zigzag from both sides.

"Ah!" The horse sank into the soft soil before taking a few steps.The huge inertia threw the cavalry on the horse back heavily, and threw them into the huge pit as deep as three feet!

Tang people actually dug deep ditches on both sides of the stone ditch!

In an instant, hundreds of Tubo cavalry were pierced by the antler guns and bamboo sticks in the Juma pit.For a moment, there were endless wailing and moaning in the pit.

"Hiss." Wei Xun Qu grabbed the rein with all his strength and gasped.If he hadn't acted a little slower, he might have been poked into a bloody hole by now. This group of Tang Kou is really cunning!

Looking at Zhiqiluo, the counselor, Wei Xunqu could only feel the hotness on his face.

"Well, order the brothers to pass through the middle of the ditch!"

Xu Xun cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.

Although he lost more than a hundred cavalrymen, it was a drop in the bucket for Yu Dajun.Once you cross the gravel ditch, let's see what tricks Tang Kou can do!

"The general has an order, turn to the middle of the gravel ditch, and walk through the dead wood!"

"The general has an order, step on the dead wood and cross the gravel ditch!"

Thousands of Tubo cavalry turned their horses and followed the route that the Tang army had just traveled.The gravel ditch is about ten feet wide, and it takes a moment for a war horse to walk on it.It's just that the dead wood on it is criss-crossed and full of potholes, and the horse's speed must be reduced to a minimum to pass safely.

"Slow down the horse, don't be in a hurry for this moment!" Zhi Qiluo shouted loudly, fearing that the soldiers would have any accidents because of their haste.

However, nearly a thousand riders from the former army have already stepped on the dead wood, and nothing unusual seems to have happened.Although the rain-soaked rotten wood made strange creaking noises, it was quite thick and showed no signs of loosening.

"Follow up, keep up! Kill Tang Kou earlier, return to the yurt earlier!" The warlord roared at the top of his voice. He had clearly seen the scene of thousands of Tang troops killing each other, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Thorn Lala!"

"Thorn Lala!"

Um?What is this sound?The warlord was slightly taken aback, and a question flashed in his mind.

"Thrilling!" The strange sound sounded again. At this moment, the warlord finally understood that it was the sound of dead wood rubbing against each other, and it turned out to be a trap!

"Go back quickly, run fast, it's a trap, this is a trap set by Tang Jun!"

But it was too late, there was a muffled bang, and dozens of dead trees were pulled away from Kishihara in an instant, and fell into the ditch!

Note 1: Horse trap: a kind of fortification.Dig the soil at the key pass as a pit to trap the enemy's troops.Tang Li Jing's "Li Weigong's Art of War: Offensive and Defensive Battle Equipment": "The horse pit is five feet long, one foot wide, and three feet deep. Antler guns and bamboo sticks are buried in the pit. The pits are connected like sub characters, shaped like hooks, and grass And the fine dust covered it, and the main roads of military cities and camps were set up."
