Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 201 Besieged on all sides (1)

"Report, Your Highness, most of the enemy army was found [-] miles away from the left wing. According to the banner, the leading general is Gar Tsangpo, with a total force of about [-] troops. They are all elite." Seeing Li Xian coming up to welcome him, Liu Ziming was in a hurry He reined in the galloping horse under his crotch, rolled the saddle neatly off the horse's back, touched one knee to the ground, and reported the report out of breath.

It's finally here!Although he had expected it, when he heard the news of the arrival of the Tubo army, Li Xian couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, but his face was still calm, he raised his hand, and asked with concern: "Ziming, are you not injured?" ?”

"It's okay, I just had a battle with the scouts of the dog thieves. The blood is from the dogs. This group of thieves is strong. The subordinates waited for four to fight ten, and beat nine of them. Only one leg was fast and injured. I escaped, but it's a pity that the three brothers also died." Liu Ziming first patted his chest carelessly to show that he was safe, but when he mentioned the death of the three subordinates, his face immediately showed a look of frustration, and angrily said He punched the ground.

It seems that Gar Qinling is serious about it!Hearing what Liu Ziming said, Li Xian's pupils couldn't help but constrict - most of the Tang army's scouts were elites selected by Li Xian himself, and all of them had extraordinary skills. But now three people were killed in four-on-ten battle, which only means one thing - Tubo dispatched this time is definitely the elite of the elite, the purpose is very clear, there is no doubt that it is aimed at his small team .

"Tattoo..."

Just as Li Xian was pondering, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and immediately there were several sentry soldiers riding Tang soldiers from the east, west, and south rushing towards the valley crazily on their horses.

"Report, Your Highness, most of the enemy army has been found on the right wing. The leading general, Wan Huzhan, Herzzan, has a total force of about [-] troops. It is thirty miles away from here. The bandits are moving very fast. Your Highness, please clarify."

"Report, Your Highness, the Tuhun sub-division of the bandit army has been found in the south, with a total strength of about [-] troops, and they are rushing towards Babao River!"

"Report, Your Highness, the enemy army He Wangzan's troops have been found in the north, with a total strength of about [-] troops, and they are rushing towards here right now!"

A group of Tang Army scouts rushed to Li Xian one after another, and reported the news they had discovered one by one. Everyone looked solemn and nervous, because the enemy was found in all directions, and the Tang Army's small unit was gone. In a predicament surrounded by enemies.

Oh, besieged on all sides, well, the fun is going to be bigger this time!For the full-scale attack of the Tubo army, Li Xian had already expected it and had corresponding countermeasures, but he was not completely sure whether it would be realized, and it could only be a one-time fight.

"Blow the trumpet, all the troops muster!"

Thirty miles may seem like a long distance, but to the galloping cavalry brigade, it's only half an hour's journey. Li Xian has no time to waste. , issued an assembly order.

"Woooooooo..."

Amidst the shrill horns, groups of officers and soldiers of the Tang army rushed out of the valley on horseback, quickly formed their formation, and marched towards the northeast, but the marching speed was not fast, and they didn't have the embarrassment of running wildly. It was as relaxed and freehand as a picnic. Not only that, the rear guards also drove a large group of captured horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock. In addition, many rear guard officers and soldiers actually carried some large packages on their backs. The clinking of gold and silver could be faintly heard inside, and God knows whether these guys are soldiers or bandits, they have the image of stragglers and rogue soldiers.

"Report, General, the Tang bandit's troops have fled towards Mo Gang, and they are not going fast, please tell the general!"

To the east, Hezzan, the head of ten thousand households in Tubo, was leading his troops to rush towards the valley where the Tang army had been resting, but saw a horse riding a report horse rushing forward, announcing the latest enemy situation.

"The whole army turned around and stopped the Tang thief!"

Hezzan is a well-known brave general in the Tubo army. He has experienced hundreds of battles, so he doesn't pay much attention to Li Xian's small army. When he heard that the Tang army fled to his side, he was overjoyed Instead of notifying the other Tubo armies, they swung their troops to turn, and rushed to the northeast like a spark. Not long after the army marched, they saw the Tang army meandering on the horizon from a long distance, as if they were unprepared, and they were overjoyed In a frenzy, without hesitation, he waved his teacher diagonally and rushed to kill him.

"Your Highness, look quickly, the bandit army is here!"

The charge of Hezzan's troops was extremely powerful. Even though they were separated by more than ten miles, they could be seen clearly at a glance on this endless grassland. Some soldiers who couldn't hold their breath exclaimed.

Heh, did you come so fast, did you rush to die?Li Xian looked sideways at the Tubo brigade roaring in the distance, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, sneered, and raised his hand, "Blow the horn, the whole army speeds up, and turn towards Mo Gang!" With an order, Tang Jun immediately started to accelerate, but the action seemed to be a little bit awkward-the front team was running wildly, and the rear team couldn't get up to speed up in order to drive away sundries such as livestock and baggage vehicles, so that they were dragged far away. behind.

"Rush, rush, catch up!"

Hezzan, who rushed to the forefront of the Tubo army, burst into laughter when he saw the chaos of the Tang army, waved the long horse in his hand, and shouted loudly. The doubtful Tubo army all let their horses gallop, and the distance between the two sides kept shortening. In just over a quarter of an hour, the Tubo army rushed to a position within a few miles of the Tang army's rear.

"Abandon the baggage, withdraw!"

Li Xian did not run wildly with the front team, but led a group of personal guards to press behind the formation. Seeing the Tubo army coming quickly, he dared not neglect, shouted and gave orders, and with the sound of the horn, The Tang Army's rear team of more than a thousand people immediately left the driving livestock and baggage vehicles, and rushed towards Mogang at the end of the horizon, in a disorganized formation.

"Don't worry about cattle and sheep, let me chase, chase quickly, whoever dares to stop, kill without mercy!"

Over the past few days, Li Xian has raided most of the eastern part of Qinghai, and the cattle, sheep and horses he obtained are astonishing. With this abandonment, they ran everywhere on the grassland, making the Tubo officers and soldiers who pursued them envious. Unexpectedly, many officers and soldiers didn't care about chasing Tang Jun, and rushed to chase the livestock on the spot. This made Herzzan very angry, and roared, stabbing a horse to death. The Tubo soldiers with scattered horses drove forward furiously.

"Open the package and throw away the gold and silver!"

Seeing that the Tubo army was only in a little confusion, and then came galloping again, Li Xian raised his hand and gave the order again. Immediately, nearly half of the soldiers in the Tang army's rear guard took off the packages on their backs, tore their When it opened, in an instant, countless gold, silver and jewels clanged to the ground, and under the reflection of the sun, the dazzling light flickered into one piece.

"Bastard, hurry up, keep chasing!"

Most of the Tubo soldiers were born in bitter cold, and they have never seen so much treasure thrown all over the ground. Facing the money at their fingertips, Herzzan's order obviously didn't work, and many soldiers galloped to the place with a lot of treasure. , scrambled indiscriminately, and the entire pursuit formation suddenly fell into chaos. Herzzan was so angry that he stabbed several rebels to death one after another, and finally rectified the formation. Shang was running unhurriedly ahead, unwilling to let it go, yelling and rushing forward again, chasing and chasing, he soon chased to the vicinity of Mo Gang.

"Tang thief can't escape, chase after them, kill them all, kill, kill, kill!"

Seeing that he was about to catch up with Tang Jun, Herzzan was so excited that he couldn't hold it back. He roared and ran forward, waving the long horse in his hand like a wheel, and his bloodshot eyes were full of bloodthirsty impulse.

"Put the soybeans!"

Seeing the arrival of the Tubo soldiers, Li smiled contentedly, waved his hand, and issued a general order. Immediately after seeing the Tang Army officers and soldiers carrying parcels in the rear, they took off the parcels one after another. All over the ground, there was a burst of sweet smell, and when the horses of the Tubo army who chased after them saw the soybeans, they never ran away again. into collapse.

"Hahaha... Blow the horn, attack!"

Li Xian's various deployments are waiting for this moment of opportunity - since the previous frenzied escape, Li Xian has led Hetzzan into the trap, discarding luggage, gold and silver, etc. is nothing but contempt , is not the real trump card, only the soybeans are, probably because the Tubo army came all the way, and then stopped suddenly several times, the horses are already exhausted, once they smell the fragrance of soybeans, they will never move again The hooves are on, not to mention that the soybeans are not only fragrant but also salty, which makes the horses flock to them. Seeing that the Tubo army has no formation to speak of, Li Xian will not let go of such a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, laughing loudly The order was issued, and the messengers around him blew the horn of attack. Immediately, three thousand elite Tang army vanguards who came to Mogang earlier rushed down the hillside like a raging wave, towards the chaotic Tubo army. kill the past.

"Dismount, line up, line up!" Hezzan became anxious when he saw the cavalry of the Tang army rolling in, and shouted for the whole army to dismount and meet the enemy.

This group of Tubo army is indeed worthy of being the elite Tubo army. Although they have encountered so many accidents, they have the ability to stay calm. Adjusting the formation, trying to complete the defense before the Tang army arrived, for this reason, a group of nearly a thousand Tubo warriors rushed to the direction where the Tang army came, trying to delay the Tang army's charge with a suicide attack. pace……
