People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 809: The one who breaks the situation is Black Teeth Changzhi
In early June, the Tang army camped.

A gray eagle stood at the top of the Chinese army's tent, holding its head high and its chest high, inspecting everything in the camp with piercing eyes.

The sky was bright and the shouts of death over the Yellow River in the distance finally stopped.

Attendant Qin walked out of the tent and his first sight landed on the gray eagle at the top of the Chinese army's tent.

He couldn't help but frown, a thought flashed through his mind.

In the early years, I heard that there were people who were good at cooking falcons and could train falcons to be their most effective helpers. I didn't expect to see him today.

Feeling the Falcon's cold gaze, Shi Qin seemed to be being watched carefully by someone.

All the secrets in his body seemed to be seen through at a glance.

Qin Shi was just about to call the soldiers to say something. At this moment, the gray eagle flew high into the sky. With a sharp eagle cry, it flew towards the other side of the river at high speed. Finally, Landing on the crevice of the cliff, his eyes were fixed on the bottom.

Qin Shi's eyes followed and fell on the Yellow River below.

At this moment, there are many broken rafts left on the northern half of the Yellow River. These are the traces left by the Tibetan people who rushed to cross the river last night.

Even the fast rivers could not wash them all away.

Around the four catapults on the shore, a large group of soldiers were repairing them quickly.

There were not many craftsmen left in the entire camp, and most of them were transferred to the Xunhua area in the east to quickly repair the grain roads.

The renovation of the grain road is progressing very quickly. Although I don't know the details, it can be seen that they are getting closer and closer to Jianzha.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers were transferred from Longwu Village to Guide in the west. At the same time, a large number of soldiers were also transferred from Xunhua in the east and began to stick to Dazhai. It can be seen that the new arrivals The soldiers are still Hangzhou soldiers, and they are very casual with the soldiers originally stationed here.

The hearts of the whole camp are still stable. Although the King of Nanchang is not here, almost all the soldiers' hearts are towards him.

It seems as if with him, any crisis can be solved.

Today, the real crisis lies not in Longwu Village, but in the mouth of Lake Nile in the west of Guide City.

The Tubo people made several consecutive strong attacks and drove a large number of soldiers but still failed to capture the mouth of Lake Nile.

Duke Li Jinxing of Yan State is still supporting the Western Front.

There were at least a thousand soldiers transferred from the Western Front, and there were also a thousand soldiers from Hangzhou who were replenished from Longwu Village to the front line.

The troops in Li Jinxing's hands did not suffer much damage. On the contrary, the Tubo people had tried to force the troops several times but failed, and their morale had begun to waver.

Looking at the Hangzhou soldiers who had been completely replaced in the camp but whose number remained unchanged, Shi Qin couldn't help but shake his head. The Tubo people still underestimated the King of Nanchang.

I underestimated the Duke of Yan, and I also underestimated the King of Nanchang.

The generals and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty showed rare resilience.

In other words, it is consistent resilience. Even though Li Jinxing, Duke of Yan, had captured the mouth of Lake Nile for half a month, the Tibetans still showed no signs of capturing the mouth of Lake Nile despite repeated attacks.

Although Longwu Village has almost replaced a group of soldiers to defend it, the defense system here is still frighteningly stable.

Qin Shi was walking in the camp. Wherever he looked, it seemed that someone was secretly watching him, but who he was, Qin Shi couldn't tell.

Now the Hangzhou soldiers in the camp are wary of every unfamiliar face.

Although Shi Qin has stayed here for a long time, in the eyes of the soldiers who have almost completely changed, he is a complete stranger.

I couldn't go anywhere, couldn't do anything, and even communicating with the Tubo people at night became extremely difficult.

Qin Shi turned his head again and looked at the gray eagle on the cliff in the distance.

Their eyes met, and he had the urge to hope that Gray Eagle could tell the Tibetan people all his intentions.

Suddenly, Qin Shi's eyes blinked subconsciously.

In an instant, on the opposite cliff, Gray Eagle had disappeared.

……

The night was dark.

Wu Xiza stood on the cliff and looked at the Tang Army camp opposite, his expression gloomy.

The army on the west side of Lake Nile had tried its best, but still could not capture the east entrance of Lake Nile, which was occupied by the Tang army.

On the one hand, the reason was that Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang, sent a large number of soldiers to the front line. On the other hand, the powerful combat power of the right-leading army guard under Yan Guogong Li Jinxing was shocking.

The little-known right-leading General Wei in Longxi has demonstrated abilities that are not inferior to any famous general in the world.

With the help of the terrain that severely restricted the performance of the Tibetan army, as well as the seemingly endless crossbow arrows, and the catapults that had been quietly placed at the rear at some point, the Tang army, under the command of Li Jinxing, held down the Tibetan army.

Not only was there a problem on the shores of Lake Nile, but even on the opposite side, in the Tang Army camp, the number of soldiers stationed there did not decrease at all.

Even though he is a newcomer, because he has just arrived here, he becomes more vigilant when patrolling at night.

Not only that, they are also familiar with everything inside and outside the camp.

Even in some patrol blind spots, they can scan back and forth.

Hu Rel sent troops several times to try to cross the river, but there was no flaw in the opponent's guard strength, which made Hu Rel look even more embarrassed.

The King of Nanchang is not in the camp now. The person commanding the thousand soldiers in the camp is Li Duozuo, the general of Wei Lang, who leads the army on the right.

Li Jinxing, Li Duozuo.

Wusiza had completely remembered the names of these two opponents he met for the first time.He failed to capture the mouth of Lake Nile in time and did not put enough pressure on Li Jinxing's troops. The method used by the King of Nanchang to mobilize military power was indeed beyond Usiza's expectations.

This resulted in the delay in executing Usiza's offensive plan.

He wanted to give up, but he was unwilling to do so.

I want to push hard, but I am worried that I will fail miserably in the end.

Wu Xizha looked east towards Xunren, and kept repairing the grain road approaching, which gave Wu Xizha a great sense of oppression in his heart.

It was like a huge haze weighing on his heart.

Once the King of Nanchang can ensure that the weapons, food and grass in the rear can be quickly transported to the hands of the frontline soldiers, then the combat effectiveness of the Tang army will be horribly improved.

At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded behind Usiza.

Wusiza turned around and saw Hurel.

Hu Rile immediately handed over his hand: "Protector, there is news from Zeku that three thousand Tang troops are marching quickly towards Zeku."

"To the south?" Wu Xiza's eyes tightened, and then he said: "Is it Black Teeth Changzhi?"

"It should be him. Heiji Changzhi has five thousand soldiers, and he is the only one who can send out 3000." Hu Rile seemed to want to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

"Where is Henan County?" Wu Xiza looked at Hu Rile with cold eyes and said with suppressed anger: "Henan is still southeast of Zeku. Why is there no news from Henan? Black Teeth Changzhi has already arrived. Zeku.”

Crossing Henan and attacking Zeku, ignoring the troops in the rear, was not in compliance with the law of war, but it did threaten the Tibetans.

"A few days ago, news came from Henan County that there were cavalry raiding and killing around the county, so we didn't do too much probing. We just ordered everyone to secure their defenses." Hu Rile lowered his head slightly. Henan County is under the mountains, and the cavalry is available. There are not many places for martial arts, so most of the troops stationed are infantry, supplemented by cavalry.

However, it was not that there was no cavalry at all. It was just that the last time the Brenzan Blade passed through Henan and marched towards Xiahe, it took away a lot of horses from Henan, and in the end none of these horses came back.

"Someone found a loophole in the defense." Wu Xizha, who is the Protector of Qingdong, was named by Lun Qinling personally. Naturally, he could see the problem at a glance.

Henan County is mostly mountainous and hilly, and many guards are stationed in the county. It is not easy for the Tang army to kill them.

Let alone kill Zeku quietly, so they can only find a defensive loophole, but something went wrong so quickly. It can only be because of something evil.

Inside ghost.

In an instant, Usiza knew who the mole was, and he immediately knew that the situation was in trouble.

That person knew too much inside information. If he really vomited everything he knew to the Tang people, then Tibet would have leaked all its secrets.

No, it's not that serious.

They are mainly cavalry. Except for the Qingdong Mountains, they can be adjusted at any time. Even if the situation is known to the Tang people, it will be useless by then.

However, there is still one place that cannot be adjusted.

That is the Qingdong Mountains, that is, the six counties of Qingdong under the jurisdiction of Wu Xiza. The cavalry can be mobilized, but the terrain limits the scope of movement to a very small area.

If you want to deal with the changes in the situation now, someone must keep a close eye on...

Wu Xiza immediately understood why he was transferred to Tongren, because the Tang Army camp opposite was the hub of the Tang Army's transfer and the waist position where the Tang Army mobilized. Any clues about the purpose of the Tang Army's actions would be revealed here. .

Unfortunately, all their spies and secret spies were taken away by the King of Nanchang, and it was difficult for subsequent scouts to penetrate, leaving only three dead ends, and the information they sent out was very useless.

It was the King of Nanchang. The movement of people on this road was greatly restricted. Except for soldiers and civilians, no one else was allowed to pass.

And even the soldiers and civilians have always acted together in groups. Coupled with the strangulation of scouts in the mountains and forests, their message transmission was very inefficient.

Wusiza suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, coming thickly.

Looking to the southeast, Wu Xizha said coldly: "This King of Nanchang is really difficult to deal with. Almost all the loopholes we found have been filled up, and even infiltrated our loopholes. Hu Rile, Send an order to transfer 3000 people from the 1000 people in the military camp to Zeku to guard against Black Tooth Chang."

"Follow the order!" Hu Rile saluted immediately, and then asked in a deep voice: "What about the opposite side, Protector, don't we plan to capture the opposite side?"

Usiza shook his head and said: "Faced with the lack of personnel, threats to morale, and sharp military equipment that cannot be taken down easily, we still have to start with Guide and send someone with my warrant to find the Protector and ask him to send two thousand Soldiers are needed to reinforce Guide. Only when there is a problem on the front line will the rear be in panic. Only when the rear is in chaos will we have a chance."

"Yes!" Hurel bowed again.

Usiza took a deep breath and glanced deeply at the camp opposite. He passed by the twenty catapults quietly placed behind the camp, and a hint of haze flashed deep in his eyes.

Turning around, he looked at his own camp behind him. The front camp was very similar to the Tang camp, while the back camp was full of tents.

But in the open space in front of the front camp, rafts were built one after another, there were dozens of them.

Even after the release, there were still people working on them non-stop, and I couldn’t even count how many there were at the time.

……

After a long time, the sky became bright.

The gray eagle flew up from the gap in the cliff and flew hundreds of meters into the air. Its sharp eyes took in everything in the Tubo camp.

Then fly away quickly.

In the old city of Zongwu, Li Xuan opened his eyes again and smiled softly: "Oppression from the front and sneak attacks from the back, the Tubo people are still doing the same thing. Do you really think Duke Yan is that easy to deal with?"

At this point, Li Xuan looked up at the door and shouted in a low voice: "Come here, send a message to Shanzhou. General Black Teeth Changzhonglang has entered Zeku as planned and asked them when they will exit from Riyue Mountain Pass. When are you going to cross the Nanshan Canyon?”

Qinghai Nanshan, canyons and mountain roads, the place of death.
