Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 394: Monk soldiers, Li Fei’s support arrives!

Nanzhao is located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.

The southwest has always been the most vulnerable place for defense.

The emperor's army here was dangerous and full of woods, most of which were inhabited by barbarian natives.

Secondly, this area borders Tubo. After the Li and Tang royal families ascended the throne, the remnants of the vassal kings all fled to the southwest territory.

In addition, it is also rich in all kinds of weird and strange forces.

The Witch Gu Sect is one of the more famous forces.

In the land of Nanzhao, there are actually six major tribes, namely Mengxuzhao, Yuexizhao, Langqiongzhao, Jiezhao, Shilangzhao, and Mengshezhao.

When Tubo was still there, he saw the weakness of the southwest territory of the Tang Dynasty, so he sent troops to conquer the Wuzhao.

The lowest remaining Mengshe imperial edict is today's Nanzhao Kingdom.

When Tubo was destroyed by Xiliang, Meng Shezhao also seized the opportunity to regain the territory originally occupied by Tubo.

Therefore, the current Nanzhao is also the Mengshe Zhao.

The Erhe River area has a humid climate.

In a dense forest, soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty patrolled the surroundings from time to time.

Everyone had a vigilant look on their face, patrolling and retreating to the rear.

In the rear, the Tang army, which numbered less than 10,000, retreated while embracing the center.

In the southwestern territory of the Tang Dynasty, the general stationed in the outer areas of the Erhe River was Yang Shidao.

Before, Meng Shezhao had always been on good terms with the Tang Dynasty and chose to rely on the Tang Dynasty.

However, just a few days ago, unexpectedly and almost unprepared, a full 50,000 troops suddenly appeared and surrounded the Tang garrison from the rear!

If Yang Shidao had always been wary of these barbarian tribes, he might have been completely wiped out by now!

"General Yang, the situation in the rear is also desperate. We can no longer retreat!"

On a white horse, Li Wan's delicate face was already stained with dirt, and her hair was a little messy.

After discovering the sudden appearance of the army, Yang Shidao made a prompt decision and ordered the city to be abandoned!

Then, he broke out with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and encountered an ambush from Meng Shezhao on the way!

The battle was extremely brutal!

After paying the price of 20,000 soldiers and horses, Yang Shidao and Li Wan led their troops to break through the siege and entered the mountains and forests.

"These damn barbarians, I should have known they were just outsiders and couldn't be trusted, and that's true!"

Yang Shidao's face was filled with anger, with murderous intent surging in his eyes: "When Meng Shezhao surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, I wrote to Your Majesty to reject them and kill them all!"

"Now it seems that it is indeed the case!"

Li Wan sighed and said: "General Yang is far-sighted. Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous person. He has always been like this when facing the forces of small countries that surrender..."

Speaking of His Majesty, Li Wan thought of Chang'an City.

And the news came not long ago that he has become the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty!

How awesome!

Thinking of this, Li Wan couldn't help but smile, sighing inwardly that it was a pity.

Li Wan also has a position in the army. This time it is her turn to lead the army to the southwest to deal with unnecessary incidents.

As a result, there was war.

"Those guys like Meng Shezhao definitely don't dare to be so offensive to our Tang Dynasty. Those guys with unknown origins, I can now confirm that they come from the Harsha Dynasty!"

Yang Shidao retreated and said: "The Harsha Dynasty has always been arrogant. It always feels that its national power is more powerful than the Tang Dynasty. This is the opportunity they are looking for!"

The Harsha Dynasty, judging from the modern area, came from the country of Asan!

"Why did the Harsha Dynasty send troops to us?"

Li Wan was puzzled.

At present, Datang's strength is unprecedented. Although it does not have enough soldiers and horses, it is only needed for expansion.

If you want to defend, you will never give up to any force!

"Maybe... His Majesty has made some decision."

Yang Shidao sighed.

Being in a remote location, they had just received the news of Li Tai's ascension to the throne. After that, he was surrounded by the Harsha Dynasty's army and was plotted by Meng Shezhao's troops.

"No matter what, we must defend this place!"

"Once lost, there will be a plain area behind us. We are already exhausted, but the opponent's morale is high and we are invincible!"

"If we enter the plains, there will be no hiding place. We will be caught up by those damn bald donkeys and killed!"

Li Wan's nervous expression suddenly became a little strange after hearing this.

Yang Shidao's words were correct. Almost all the armies of the Harsha Dynasty were bald!

But the title "Bald Donkey" made Li Wan smile, and his tense nerves relaxed for a moment.

From behind, there was already the sound of water.

This is the main stream of a large river, as wide as the Er River.

"Although it is already a desperate situation, the terrain here is relatively high. We still have two thousand archers and can still hold them off for half a day!"

Yang Shidao calmed down and spoke.

In fact, he felt a little desperate.

In the previous breakout, most of the casualties were infantry, and the archers and cavalry suffered little losses.

Now, it's time for them to do their best to defend this last place!

……

At the other end of the dense forest, a bald soldier holding a spear nailed a Tang Dynasty scout to the ground.

"Haha, these Tang troops are really weak. May I, the Buddha, save them..."

"The only way to overcome the sufferings in the world is by ourselves. If we can't overcome them by ourselves, let us help them, hahaha..."

The monk soldiers from the Harsha Dynasty all had most of their arms exposed and wore diagonal cassock robes.

Their weapons are long spears, named "Jie Gun".

The two sections of the Jie Qiang are spear points, which are different from the ordinary spears of the Tang Dynasty. It looks a bit strange.

At this moment, their troops had spread out, searching for the remaining troops of the Tang Dynasty in the woods.

"Oh, they actually came here. There is a desperate river ahead. Do they have a boat?"

"Do you want to build a temporary boat to cross the river and escape?"

"Haha, that's just asking for death. That river is no more rapid than ours, and its power is not much different..."

As the monk soldiers patrolled, sounds could be heard from time to time.

Among them, some monk soldiers died, but more of them were soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty!

As the encirclement gradually narrowed, they were getting closer and closer to the hiding place of Li Wan, Yang Shidao and others.

at the same time--

"Cheng Chumo, how long until we arrive?"

Li Fei glanced at the dense forest ahead and asked coldly.

"The returning division is still fifty miles away from the city where General Yang is stationed, but my subordinates feel that General Yang and the others may have retreated..."

Li Fei only brought twenty-five people.

Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaidao.

And the twenty elite people he had rescued from the Turks and who had been following him!

There are two little girls, Persimmon and Yinyin, sitting on Xiaobai's broad back.

Of course, he has another trump card.

One hundred thousand tiger and benign soldiers!

At this time, Li Fei suddenly felt something and looked forward.

The rain of arrows suddenly appeared in the distance and became extremely clear in his sight!

"I'll go first!"

"Follow Persimmon and Xiaobai, don't be in a hurry!"
