224 Intercept
Feihu led the army around the forest, following the footsteps of Tuyuhun who was in charge of luring the enemy, he set up an ambush around a valley.

Meanwhile, General Tuyuhun was nervously looking at Tang Jun, who was slowly approaching in the distance, where the dust was flying.As long as Tang Jun walked into the ambush circle, they would have a chance to kill these troops.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report: "Marshal, it's not good. Tang Jun appeared in the forest behind us. They set fire to the forest and the fire was out of control."

"What?" Coach Tuyuhun stared at the soldier in horror, hoping that he just said something wrong.Seeing that the commander hadn't moved, the soldier hurriedly repeated: "Tang Jun appeared in the dense forest on both sides of us and set fire to the forest. The fire has already spread. If we don't withdraw from the forest, we may not be able to leave."

One sentence made General Tuyuhun almost fall to the ground, at this moment everything became clear.Where Tang Jun is old and weak is clearly playing tricks on his own.

Thinking of this, he asked anxiously, "How about the casualties?"

"Not yet, but the Tang army has already surrounded the dense forest. If we don't leave now, once the main force of the Tang army arrives, we will be besieged in the dense forest."

"It's a failure, it's a failure. Could it be that the sky is going to kill me, Tuyuhun?"

"Marshal, the main force of the Tang army is less than five miles away from here. Their marching speed is very fast, and it may take less than a quarter of an hour to reach here."

"Okay, very good, the general of the Tang army is really exhaustive. Unfortunately, although the ambush failed this time, they didn't get any benefits. They ordered the entire army to retreat quickly. If they want to fight decisively, I want to see if he can catch up with the Tang army. superior."

"Report, General Tuyuhun's army has all withdrawn from the dense forest, and is now heading towards the royal court."

"Okay, what's the situation with General Long?"

"The general has already set up his formation, we just need to quickly encircle the Tuyuhun army."

"Okay, order the whole army to tie the treetops behind the horses, make them dusty, and chase after the Tuyuhun army. Don't let them calm down."

"Yes"

Tang Jun pursued closely, and for a while, the distance between the two sides was shortened by half.The dusty and loud shouts behind him had already made Tuyuhun's army terrified.

As for fighting on foot in the mountains and forests, they might still have the confidence to fight Tang Jun.But cavalry field battles were originally a specialty of the Turks, since Long Feiyu came out in the Tang Dynasty.The army of the Tang Dynasty became lively and active. They used to like to nest in the city, but they like to lead the cavalry to run around when they have nothing to do.

This made the Tang army's field combat capabilities soar. At this time, when the Tang army came after them, the Tuyuhun army had already been frightened and ran away desperately.As for where to escape to at this time, it is not up to them to decide. Tang Jun behind him has already determined the best route for them, intentionally or unintentionally.

They didn't have time to think about what was wrong in the way ahead. When they realized it, they were greeted by the rolling logs and stones of the Tang army above the valley, and densely packed arrows.

After being chased by the Tang army for such a long distance, the Tuyuhun army lost all courage. When they found that there were enemy troops in ambush in front of them, they could no longer muster the courage to fight.

This was a battle without any suspense. Tens of thousands of troops were either killed or captured, and few escaped.

In less than two days, the Tuyuhun army gathered outside Dashan Pass was wiped out.This made Li Jing and Li Shimin staring at the military newspaper speechless for a long time.The man watching the message said: "Are you sure that Long Feihu wiped out the enemy army?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what the military newspaper said. They took 5000 prisoners, ran away with [-], and killed [-]. The remaining [-] people headed towards the royal court. In addition, General Long asked for further instructions, see Are they attacking the royal court or returning to the court?"

Before Li Shimin and Li Jing could react, Long Feiyu said directly: "Let him rectify his troops and send [-] Tang troops to support Lord Hou. The remaining [-] troops were inserted obliquely into the Tubo territory to cut off the retreat of Abandoned Zong and Praise .”

"Marshal, although the Tubo people were defeated by General Niu, their strength is still intact. At this time, there are still [-] troops, and our army has only [-], so we may not be able to stop them."

"Who said [-], isn't there [-] captives? Go straight up. I have already let Niu Jinda entangle the Tubo army. I ordered Long Feiyu and Niu Jinda to attack and eat the Tubo army."

"Eat the Tubo army? I'm afraid it's a little unrealistic. We haven't taken Tuyuhun at this time. If we rush to start with Tubo, we will definitely face multi-line pressure. This will definitely cause heavy losses."

"Master Li, take a look. This abandoned sect Nongzan succeeded his father Zanpu at the age of 13, and swept all the tribes of Tubo in just a few years. At this time, there are few tribes who can fight him. Tubo and my Tang Dynasty The border, if it is so chaotic, it’s okay to say, but once it is unified, it will definitely be detrimental to my Tang Dynasty. This time Tubo’s attack on my Tang Dynasty is a signal. It doesn’t matter whether it wins or loses. Do it, the reason why Abandoned Zong Nongzan dared to do it this time is to test the strength of my Tang Dynasty, and at the same time determine whether it will be friendly or hostile in the future, and also to establish an image in its territory that dares to resist Datang. This is an experiment, we cannot allow the Tibetans to carry out this experiment. As long as the [-] troops of Qizong Nongzan are defeated, his hegemony in Tubo will not be won for the time being. The rest of the tribes will also take advantage of this opportunity To make things difficult for him, we took advantage of this opportunity to integrate the various ministries of Tuyuhun."

"Alright, let's teach the Tubo people a profound lesson. Otherwise, they will be so presumptuous in the future, but can Niu Jinda take on this role?" Li Shimin asked worriedly

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, although Niu Jinda has not experienced many battles, his ability is not inferior to Feihu and others. If we are good at guiding, there is no problem in blocking one side alone."

"Okay then, the messenger will go and pass the order."

"Yes"

The news that the Tuyuhun army was wiped out, the Tang army was the most advanced to know about the delivery of this pigeon.When Qizong Nongzan learned the news, Long Feihu's army had already entered Tubo territory.

It wasn't until this moment that he knew why the enemy facing Tang Jun always pestered him, neither attacking nor retreating.It turned out that it was just for people to cut off their retreat.

It was right with Long Feiyu that Qizong Nongzan had now unified half of Tubo's territory.There are as many as 10,000+ soldiers in hand, and the tribal leaders who can fight against themselves have united to pit themselves at this time.

Although it was only a matter of time before he could defeat them with his own ability, he didn't want to kill those people. Too many people were killed or injured in this war.It was not conducive to his rule, so under the advice of his counselors, King Fuyun of Tuyuhun was urged to attack Datang, resisting the pressure of Datang, and then they sent troops to attack Datang.Regardless of victory or defeat, build momentum first, so that those tribes will see their own strength, and it will be much easier for them to unify in the future, so that they can defeat others without fighting.

Who would have thought that wild geese would be pecked by geese all year round.The Tuyuhun army retreated, but the Tang army was unwilling to let go of its own troops.Originally, I was waiting to retreat to the territory to send envoys to repair with the Tang army. If I was asking for a princess, my position in Tubo would be unbreakable.

But before everything could be carried out, that group of Tang Jun cut off his retreat outrageously and unreasonably, attacking him back and forth, even if he wanted to fix it, he had no chance.

Since Tang Jun is like this, they can only go to war. At this time, he gathered all the generals and said: "Generals, Tang Jun attacked our army back and forth this time. How do you think we can break through the enemy's defense line?"

A general said: "Zanpu, the Tang army's flanking attack is fatal to us. No matter which side we attack, the enemy behind us will take the lead. But Zanpu must keep in mind that in this case , the soldiers' desire to go home is the greatest. So we don't need to pay attention to Niu Jinda behind us, and concentrate all our forces to crush the troops of Long Feihu in front of us. Twenty thousand of their [-] troops are still prisoners. How much combat power. The soldiers are eager to return home, and the Tang army is in no danger at this time. We only need to tell them that they can go home after defeating the opposite Tang army. This is a silent temptation for them. So when the Tang army The pressure will be unprecedentedly strong."

"What about Niu Jinda behind him? It's impossible for him to be indifferent when we attack Long Feihu?"

"Ignore him, send [-] troops to pretend to attack Niu Jinda's department, and then all the main forces will concentrate on attacking Long Feihu's central army. As long as we tear the opening from the central army, our [-] troops will flood the Tang army like a tide. Once we attack back and forth The battle will be broken, and the initiative of the war on this land will be completely in our hands."

"Yeah." Listening to the counselor's words, Qi Zong Nongzan kept nodding his head in agreement.At this time, this is the only way for them to reverse the crisis.

Faced with the arrangement of abandoning Zong's praise, Long Feiyu was mobilizing those Tuyuhun people at this time. He rode a horse through the crowd, and said as he walked: "Tuyuhun soldiers, you and my Tang Dynasty have always been Help each other and do not invade each other. But the evil Tubo people deceived your king and your feelings. They encouraged you to be hostile to my Tang Dynasty. After these wars, my Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun turned against each other. And the culprit brought With an army of [-] people making a circle around the border of the Tang Dynasty, we were ready to turn back the territory. We fought a bloody river, but let the Tubo people take advantage of it. They took advantage of the opportunity to occupy many places in Tuyuhun. Now they take advantage and want to Turn back to Tubo. Can you just watch the maker of this war, the enemy with blood on both sides of our hands, return to the territory?"

"No, we will make them pay in blood"

A soldier of the Tang Army dressed up as a Tuyuhun surrendered soldier and started shouting first.Someone took the lead, and others responded naturally: "Yes, we can't let them go back. They killed so many of us. It's too cheap for them to leave like this. Blood debts."

"Blood debt, blood debt, blood debt..."

As the passion of Tuyuhun soldiers was ignited, Long Feihu smiled silently.He commanded the army to dig a pit several miles long where the troops were located, and the pits stretched for hundreds of meters.

Looking at these traps, Li Xianfeng said with some doubts: "General, we have made so many traps, are you sure that the Tubo army will attack our central army? Their army is all concentrated in General Niu's place."

Long Feiyu chuckled and said, "When the westerly wind blows, would you put the outlet responsible for cooking on the east side?"

"Of course not. The fire is getting bigger and bigger with the help of the wind. If the leeward fireworks not only enter the pot, the fire will not be easy to ignite."

"That's the end of it. As the countries around our Great Tang perished one after another. The Tubo people are afraid of my Great Tang army. Now they are flanked by front and back, and they will definitely choose one side to attack with all their strength. But General Niu It will only make them farther and farther away from home. Their morale can't even be raised to talk about fighting, not to mention that even if they win General Niu, they will still be bound by us on the way home. So I predict that they will definitely attack us. And I want to If I want to defeat my army, I will definitely have to tear a hole from the central army, and these pits are enough to eat the Tubo cavalry at once."
