Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 520 Battle of Funiuchuan (5)

In the distant sky, several pillars of smoke shot up into the sky, and the thick smoke was like a dark cloud floating with the wind to form a hideous scene. Obviously, it was because of the fire soaring into the sky. Li He knew that the place where the fire started was just as soon as he estimated it. It should be the direction of the camp. There is no doubt that something happened to the camp, and obviously it will not be a good thing. Li He's heart immediately sank to the bottom of the valley, his face became gloomy in an instant, his eyes clenched his lips with fire, But he didn't make a decision right away.

Back to the rescue camp?Obviously it is not feasible. Although this place is only ten miles away from the camp, it will not take long to rush back quickly. However, when the enemy's situation is unknown, if you return to the army suddenly, you may be ambushed. Besides, at this time Now that the smoke has risen, there is no hope of rescuing the battalion, not to mention the fact that the battle is in full swing. If they really turn around and return to the army, it is difficult to guarantee that the gang of tribal coalition forces will not take advantage of the chaos to attack. Obviously, this road cannot be taken!And this place can't stay for a long time, the enemy army has robbed the big camp, and they are always coming here, if there is a little delay, I'm afraid they won't even be able to leave, the question is where should we go?Li He really didn't know how to make a decision for a while.

"Report, big, big general, big camp, big camp is lost!"

While Li He was hesitating, a Tang cavalry covered in blood came galloping from the direction of Daying, rushed to the front, rolled his saddle off his horse, and reported anxiously.

"Understood, where did the soldiers and horses come from?"

Although Li He had already guessed the result when he saw the column of smoke soaring into the sky, but now he heard the letter from the reporter, he still couldn't help being depressed for a while, but he didn't bring it to his face. , but asked a question pretending to be calm.

"Returning to the general, the thieves came from the north. Judging from the banner, it is the army led by Gar Tsangpo, with a strength of about [-]."

Seeing that Li He was calm as usual, the fearful heart immediately calmed down, and the words of the report became more fluent. Not only that, but also the soldiers who followed Li He were all at ease when they saw this. down.

"North?"

Hearing that the Fujun came from the north, Li He couldn't help being taken aback, because there was a bar of Huangshui in the north of the camp. At about seven or eighty feet, it is inconvenient for people and horses to cross, so they have to be crossed by raft. In other words, the ambush of the Tubo people has been planned long ago, and it was not a temporary intention. It's a bit worrying.

"General, the thieves will be here in a short time, so we can't fight here for a long time, and please learn from the general."

Seeing Li He's indecision, Tuoba Shanye couldn't sit still for a while, hurriedly stepped forward, and whispered something.

"Well……"

Why didn't Li He know that it was time to leave quickly, but when the enemy's situation was unclear, how could he decide where to go? Under the restless mind, he had no intention of paying attention to Tuoba Shanye's advice, but just said noncommittal He let out a sound, and looked at the chaotic battle on the field with serious eyes, and did not give the order to withdraw the troops for a long time.

"Boys, go ahead, don't let the Tang thief go, kill him!"

Before Li He could make a decision, he heard the sound of horseshoes. The troops of Gar Mosodo, who had been defeated by the Tang army, came back from the west again, although the number was only one-third of the previous one. One, but the momentum is no longer the embarrassment of the previous defeat, but there is a kind of ruthless aura. Under this impact, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups that were already beyond their strength immediately had the courage to fight to the death. Instead of scurrying around, they roared and clung to the attacking Hehuang army, and the situation on the battlefield was in danger of being reversed.

"The prime minister has an order: whoever captures Li He alive will be rewarded with a thousand horses, promoted to three ranks, and whoever kills a Tang thief will be rewarded with a hundred cattle and sheep. My sons, rush, kill, kill!"

Gal Mosuoduo was defeated by the Hehuang army twice in a row, and he had already suffocated his anger. Now that he had a good opportunity for revenge, how could he let it go? In a battlefield, he waved his horse and aimed at Zhang Chen, who was inextricably fighting with the coalition forces of various ministries, wanting to avenge the humiliation of the previous defeat.

"Old dog, court death!"

Seeing Gar Mosodo approaching him aggressively, Zhang Chen became furious, roared angrily, and led his troops to break through the obstruction of the tribal soldiers, and swung his troops straight to attack Gar Mosodo In an instant, the battle became a group, one with good marksmanship and the other with strong swordsmanship, and the kill was inextricably linked for a while.

"General, the thief is coming from behind!"

Just as Li He was thinking about the countermeasures nervously, he saw a burst of smoke and dust rising from the east, and countless cavalry appeared on the horizon in the distance, and his sharp-eyed guards roared and sounded the alarm.

"Order: The whole army assaults westward!"

The Hehuang army is already in an extremely passive situation at this time. To the north is the mighty Qinghai Lake, to the south is the new force led by Gar Zanpo, and to the west is the tribe of Gar Mosodo and other tribes. The coalition forces intercepted only the east, but there was no trace of the enemy. According to common sense, the best direction for the Tang army to break through at this time should be the east, but Li He didn't think so. In his opinion, there was no enemy. The quiet east is where the real murderous intent of the Tubo people lies. If they really go this way, they will definitely fall into the hands of the Tubo army. After a long battle, the people of Gar Mosodo are the real killers. The right direction to break out of the siege is not only a thought of pinching the persimmon, but more of a point-the old camp of Gar Mosuoduo, the reason is very simple, most of the supplies of the Hehuang Army are in the camp, and it has already been destroyed. It is completely defeated by the enemy. Although all the soldiers carry dry food for several days, it is difficult to ensure that their own troops can break through and return to Shanzhou. Yu, in view of this, Li He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and with a wave of his hand, he issued an order to break out of the encirclement.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

As soon as Li He gave an order, the trumpeter who followed him blew the order to break through, but after hearing a stern sound of the horn, the two Tang troops, A and Wang, who were chasing and killing the miscellaneous soldiers of various tribes, immediately left their respective The opponent turned to approach Li He who had rushed into the battlefield, relying on the extremely powerful impact force, they quickly joined forces, and strangled to Gar Mosodo's troops.

"Roar……"

Gar Mosodo came to avenge, but not to die. When he saw that most of the Tang soldiers were killing him, he panicked immediately. How dare he fight with Zhang Chen again, so he yelled With a sound, he fired a few shots with a "shua shua", forced Zhang Chen's entanglement away, and turned his horse's head to escape into the slanting stab without hesitation. It didn't matter if he escaped like this. The Tubo army under Chen's unit, which was fighting endlessly, immediately lost its position, and most of the Tang army, which was rushed by the storm, only charged, and the interception was broken.

"Come on, go west!"

Li He didn't have the time to pay attention to the rebellious soldiers under Gar Mosodo's troops. Once he broke Zhang Chen's siege, he didn't stop at all. He roared and led his troops to rush westward. The speed was extremely fast, and there was no unity. The Tubo army under command did not dare to chase after him for a while, and the coalition forces of various tribes who were terrified of being killed did not dare to pursue after seeing this. The way of Zanpo's troops.

"Third brother, luckily you fulfilled your mission, the thief Tang took the bait!"

After losing two battles in a row, the loss of soldiers and generals was quite a lot, but Gar Mosodo didn't show the slightest sign of frustration, on the contrary, he was full of energy, ignoring the stunned expressions of the bystanders, and greeted him with a big laugh. Gar Tsangpo, who came galloping, cupped his hands as if showing meritorious service.

"Well, Ninth Brother has worked hard, and now this is only the first step. The next step is the key point, which must not be ignored. You and I, together with the coalition forces, put some pressure on that little Li He, and don't let him get off the hook. "

Gal Zampo was cautious by nature, but he was not as optimistic as Gal Mosodo, so he just nodded his head blankly, and gave a casual order.

"Third Brother, don't worry, little brother will do it now!"

Gar Zampo is the chief general, since he had an order, Gar Mosuoduo dared not disobey it, hurriedly saluted, stepped aside, and went to order the accompanying relatives Wei went to gather the scattered soldiers from various ministries without mentioning it.

"Report, General, a Tubo army camp was found five miles ahead. It is very large in scale and there are few defenders. Please tell me, General!"

Li He led his troops to throw off the pursuers, and ran westward for more than [-] li. Just now, he stopped and took a rest, and sent out sentries to investigate the old camp of Gar Mosodo. Finally, it was not in vain, within half an hour, a sentry brought back great news.

"it is good!"

What Li He is most worried about at this time is not the chasing soldiers, but the unsustainable supply of supplies. Of course, this kind of worry is not too great. After all, he followed Li Xian to make trouble in Tuyuhun, so The way of guerrilla warfare is no stranger, if you don’t have food and drink, just go and plunder the tribes of Tuyuhun. Li He is already familiar with such things, but then again, he can rob an empty military camp It saved a lot of trouble, so why not do it, so he clapped his hands and shouted: "Agutai!"

"The end is here!"

Agutai is a big killer. After the bloody battles, everyone else was exhausted enough, but he was fine, and he was very energetic. Hearing that Li He had ordered his general, he was not only not bothered, but excited Both eyes were brightened.

"Go, I robbed the general camp, remember, get it intact!"

Li He didn't talk too much nonsense, and gave the order directly.

"promise!"

As long as there is a battle to fight, Agutai can talk about everything. He happily agreed to the promise, roared and ordered the soldiers and horses, and rushed towards the direction of the military stronghold in a hurry.

"General, please take another step to speak."

Agutai had just left, before Li He could turn around, he saw Tuoba Shanye strode behind him, begging politely.

"Ok?"

Hearing what Tuoba Shanye said strangely, Li He frowned involuntarily, looked at Tuoba Shanye with a little impatience, and let out a soft sound from his nostrils, obviously with a trace of Meaning of displeasure.
