Chapter 396 Blood and Fire Tianshan, White Robe Unparalleled
Gaochang Wangcheng, which has just returned to peace from an earthquake-like military chaos, suddenly burst into flames more than ten miles away, shining red in the sky.
The mud stood on the king's tower. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Go and find out quickly!"
A moment later, the letter replied that the Tang army burned the camp, and the whole army broke out to the north!
"What did you say?" The mud sip almost didn't believe his ears.
Xintan had to return it again.
"How is this possible?" Ni Shu was stunned and secretly said: The Tang people always value kindness and righteousness, and the coach is besieged. Shouldn't they rush to the king city like a moth to rescue or revenge? ... To break out to the north, where is the continuous and high Tianshan Mountain and the territory of Hu Luwu Department and the Secret Department under the jurisdiction of Beiting. What do they want to do? This is so abnormal! Qin Shubao is dead. They are already a group of dragons without heads. If they run for their lives, they should also go in the direction of the Puchang Sea in the south and get into the ambush set by the Tubo people!
"General, what should we do now?" The left and right deputy generals were also confused and asked, "Although Qin Shubao has been killed, our plan in Gaochang Wangcheng did not attract the Tang army. The 50,000 main Wangshi ambushed outside the city are now staring and watching the Tang army inexplicably break out to the north!"
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sent someone to ask Gao Changren, who is going to command the soldiers outside after Qin Shubao entered the capital of the dynasty?"
"Yes..."
After the follower left, the mud sip snorted and said secretly: Neglected! I care too much about the famous Qin Shubao and ignore other details! Presumably, the reason why Qin Shubao dared to go to office alone and go to justice generously in the end must have arranged the aftert. He is not in the Tang army camp, but it doesn't mean that there is no capable person there. He can still keep this army calm and orderless... Qin Shubao, I still underestimate you after all. And what kind of person is the leader of the Tang army now? Could it be that he had an insight into the deployment of our army and the intentions of the Tubo people? ... Turning north, although it is difficult to go around thousands of miles, it is much wiser than getting into the ambush circle along Gaochang or Puchanghai to die directly. This is indeed a strategic and tactical magic pen! ... Either, it was Qin Shubao who penetrated this mystery when he was dying, so he sent a messenger to break out and give the order; or, the person who currently leads the Tang army is a brilliant general in the face of danger - no matter what, this Tang army is really terrible, and it is worthy of respect and attention!
"Report - My subordinates found out the news that after Qin Shubao entered the city, the Tang army outside the city was handed over to his general Xue Rengui, General Zuo Weiwei."
"Xue Rengui?" The mud sip blinked confusedly, "Who is the person?"
Xin Tan briefly introduced Xue Rengui's situation, but he couldn't give a detailed explanation.
"Oh, it turned out to be Qin Shubao's favorite young man promoted by his son Qin Mubai. As soon as I said it, I remembered it. I heard the messenger of Tubo mention Xue Rengui. He seemed to be a fierce general who bravely crowned the three armies. A square sky painting halberd was unstoppable, and a tiger-patterned thrush bow pierced Yang in a hundred steps. This Xue Rengui should be very young when he first entered Rongwu. Except for the strong charge, he didn't hear anything unusual about him. But it's strange why Qin Shubao didn't give the army to Qi He Li, who has experienced a hundred battles, but to Xue Rengui, who has not done it? The mud is ripe and sips.
The left and right deputy generals said, "The general doesn't need to pay attention to it. Xue Rengui fled for his life with a brigade of defeated soldiers and bumped into Tianshan and the desert. Although we did not set an ambush in the north, the environment there was terrible and dangerous everywhere, and there were 40,000 troops of Hu Lu and the 40,000 troops under the command of General Hu Luwu. Tang Jun, this is looking for a dead end.
Mud is still meditating. After a long time, he said leisurely, "This military plan has failed."
He was stunned and asked him why he said this.
Ni Shu snorted and said, "This time, our main purpose is not to kill Qin Shubao, or to recover the city of Gaochang, but to catch all the elite Tang army for the rest of his life, or to expel them to the south and let them enter the ambush of the Tubo people to be annihilated. In this way, the purpose of containing the Tang army under Puchanghai can be achieved, so that the whole front can gain advantages and initiative. But now, instead of being killed, this Tang army has fled. Aside from the endless troubles after releasing the tiger back to the mountain, now, the whole strategic deployment has also failed. The six ambush laid by the Tubo people along the way all failed. It took no effort to say that the Tang army around Puchanghai, Yumenguan and Yangguan will also be vigilant after hitting the grass and the snakes... In this way, we and the Tubo people have formulated a plan to beat the snakes and completely destroyed it; Lanzhou's defense line will definitely be strengthened unprecedentedly! Thus, this will evolve into a positive offensive confrontation. In this way, we have no advantages and opportunities. On the contrary, it is the Tang army. The loss of the coach will definitely make them hate the enemy... Only God knows what the future will be like!"
"In this way, this strange Tang army suddenly went north, and the impact on the whole war situation is not small!" In addition to admiring the calmness and wisdom of the left and right deputy generals, they were even more confused about the purpose of the Tang army and said, "What on earth do they want to do?"
"The unknown young man Xue Rengui is definitely a character who can't be underestimated." The mud sip thick eyebrows and murmurmured, "Even if there is Qin Shubao's order, he can stabilize the heart of the Tang army at this time. He has no emotional impulse to kill Gao Chang into my encirclement, and quickly make a wise reaction and turn north, which is enough to see his excellence! - It is said that I ordered 50,000 elite wolves to ride towards Pursue the north and order General Hu Luwu to lead the army to intercept! Be sure to annihilate Xue Rengui's troops at the foot of Tianshan Mountain and eradicate the future trouble!"
"Yes!"
"Wait!" Ni Shu suddenly waved his hand and said, "That Xue Rengui is the best if he can be captured alive."
"Yes!" The deputy general answered and said blankly, "General, do you inform the Tubo headquarters in the south to tell them about the situation of the war?"
"No need!" Ni Shu snorted angrily and said, "The Tibet people are smart and do their best. Now, the plan set by the stinky boy of the Erqinling has failed. Instead of moths, the Tang army rushed to our territory, and we have to solve this problem by ourselves. After letting Tang Jun know the news of Qin Shubao's death, try their best to avenge him and find the Tubo people to fight! When Xue Rengui's power in the Tang Dynasty is solved, the power of the Tang people in the Western Regions has been eradicated, and our goal has been achieved. Don't get blindly with the Tang people and Tubo people, and let them bite the dog!"
"In this case, why don't we just tell Qin Mubai, the son of Qin Shubao, in detail about this military plan, so that he should not hate us, but angered the Tubo people and Gao Changji Sheng? In this way, isn't it us who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?
Mud mature eyes lit up and laughed: "Yes, your head that has been kicked by the bison has finally been smart! - Listen, restrain Qin Shubao's body, order Qu Zhisheng to lead all the soldiers and civilians in Gaochang Wangcheng to wear sacks and filial piety as a memorial, and bury him on the top of the Flame Mountain with the gift of the princes and princes of the Han people. Later, he sent a letter to Lanzhou Qin Mubai to let him know that it was not our Turks who killed his father, but the treacherous Tubo boy, thegarqin Mausoleum!"
"Yes!"
The night is deep, at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain.
"General, there is Tianshan Mountain ahead!" He pointed to the blackness standing in front of him and said to Xue Rengui.
Running around all night, the soldiers were already sleepy. Xue Rengui's thick eyebrows tightened and thought for a little, and ordered, "Send the generals of the three armies to go up the mountain to rest."
"Uphill for a rest?" Left and right stunned.
Everyone is a man who has been marching and fighting for many years. He knows that if the army goes up the mountain, one is to cut off the source of drinking water, and the other is to be trapped by the enemy, but it is like getting into a place where there is no escape in the urn. At that time, you only need to set off a fire, and you don't need to attack and kill, and the whole army will be destroyed.
"Execute the military order!" Xue Rengui didn't explain at all and shouted, "Go up the mountain now!"
"No!"
Xue Rengui walked first and paid close attention to the road conditions and mountains all the way. After walking for about half an hour, he suddenly stopped and ordered, "Order, cut down all the trees here as a ring wood cannon stone and prepare more flammable things! The man's title is forbidden, and an ambush is set up!"
Only then did the generals wake up - it turns out that it is fake to rest in the mountains, and it is true to set an ambush here!
However, I haven't seen half of the enemy all the way. Who should I ambush?
Although there were doubts, the exhausted soldiers still quickly carried out the military order. Cut down a piece of tree to make rolling wood and grass ball, and ambushed on the foot of the mountain.
God, it's about to dawn.
The Tang army lurted in the foothills and held his breath.
As soon as the sun comes out, it is very hot in the mountains and forests, and there is a shortage of water, which is unspeakable.
Xue Rengui inserted the Fang Tianhua halberd beside him and sat on a tree stump to close his eyes to refresh his mind, just like an old monk who did not move in the eight winds.
"Report - General Xue! A large number of soldiers and horses were found galloping at the foot of the mountain ahead! It should be the main force of the Turks, and the elite wolf rider!"
Xue Rengui's eyes were opened and the light was shining!
"Order - prepare for war!"
At this time, the soldiers of the Tang army were impressed by Xue Rengui's divine calculation and calmness. At the same time, the enemies were particularly jealous. In the face of this enemy who killed Qin Shubao, the whole army's blood was boiling, and their hands holding knives and guns trembled slightly.
At the foot of the mountain a few miles away, the mud sip immediately put his hand on the slope, looking up at the towering Tianshan Mountain.
"Tang Jun fled so fast..." The left and right deputy generals said, "All the way, I only saw their clear horseshoe marks, and even the horse dung was still hot. It can be seen that it is still not far away.
The mud is still squinting his eyes and carefully observing the mountain.
"Spear the order, stop moving forward." He suddenly ordered.
"Oh? General, are we not going to chase?
"No worries." Ni Shu frowned and snorted, "The mountains here are steep and the roads are narrow. If the Tang army ambushed here, our army will enter the Jedi."
"This is impossible!" He said left and right, "The Tang army even burned the barracks and fled in a hurry. How could they stop and set an ambush? Moreover, can they really count the unknown prophets? How do they know that we will come to chase them?
"Do not underestimate the enemy." Ni Shu shouted and scolded, "Send ten rounds of scolding in front of you to inquire, and it's not too late to chase after confirming that there is no threat. The veterans of the Tang Military Division are tired and not familiar with the road conditions here. It's easy to catch up.
"Yes!"
More than ten teams of Turks scolded the Marquis and crawled to the foothills where Xue Rengui was located. Tang Jun's heart was tense.
"Gedding, don't act rashly, be careful to ambush." Xue Rengui said, "Even if the Turks come in front of him, if he doesn't find us, he can't startle the snake."
"Yes!"
At noon, the scorching sun is extremely hot, and there is a wet miasma between the mountains and forests. When the sun is shining, it makes people dizzy.
The Turkic scolders walked around the foot of the mountain. In addition to finding some horseshoe dung, they also picked up some armored robes that fell when the Tang army "escaped in a hurry".
"It seems that they really threw away their helmets and armor!" The Turks laughed loudly, and after a hasty tour, they returned the "good news" to the mud.
After sipping, instead of being happy, he fell into meditation.
"General, the soldiers have a good rest. Will they continue to pursue?"
The mud nodded slowly and said, "The horses of the Tang army are mostly Longyou horses that are hybridized with good horses in the Western Regions. They have strong explosive power and are good at charging on the flat ground, but they are not strong enough strength. They are not strong in climbing mountains and wading and long-distance attacks. But our Turkic horses have good physical strength to climb mountains. By the way, although we were more than two hours late to pursue, they should not have gone far. At that time, it is very likely to meet him in Tianshan!"
"In the mountain battle, the Tang army is definitely not as good as our army! Our horses are more adaptable to the terrain on the mountain than them!"
Thinking about it over and over again, the mud finally waved his hand - "Spend the pursuit!"
After stopping for about two hours, the Turks finally got up again and came to the foothills of Tianshan Mountain!
The soldiers of the Tang army tightened their hearts for several hours and trembled - came, finally came!
These hours are like surviving in the oil pan of hell. If it weren't for a heart as tough as iron and quiet as ice, it would be extremely difficult to achieve.
Fortunately, every soldier in this Tang army is a real warrior for the rest of his life, who can't do it.
Xue Rengui finally stood up from the stump, pulled up the square halberd, and said in a low voice, "Prepare for battle!"
The road between the foothills was narrow and dense, and the Turkic cavalry lined up into long snakes, winding in.
The sun is rolling, and the sky and the earth are hot. It seems that with just a match, the whole Tianshan Mountain can burn like a barrel of gasoline.
I've been close to five or six miles, and I can't stand it anymore. He, who usually pays the most attention to Wei Zhengyi, will unload the noble armor and gorgeous robes that have always been regarded as his identity and put them on the horse's back. He kept wiping his forehead and sweating with his hands, and secretly said: This damn place is like hell if it's too late to fight. Although the terrain is good, no one will choose to set an ambush here... And we have searched for an hour, and there should be nothing wrong!
At this time, a large group of birds suddenly appeared in front of them.
The mud sip suddenly fainted and shouted, "Withdraw - retreat the whole army!"
All the soldiers were shocked by him, and they couldn't come to their senses. They suddenly listened to the shouting of the tsunami above their heads, and the rolling stone gutter roared all over the earth, and countless arrows fell down, like a locust disaster!
"It's over!" The mud sipped in his heart, and there was an unprecedented chill, and he roared - "Withdraw, retreat!"
The heavenly soldiers come, and the ghost cries!
Xue Rengui turned over his horse, and pointed to the sky and roared with almost all his strength - "Kill! Revenge for the general!"
"Kill!!!"
"Blood debt and blood!"
"Revenge for the commander!"
Rolling wood, arrows, fireballs, with the infinite anger and murderous intent of the Tang soldiers, roared down from the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
In the meantime, it instantly turns into a real nose hell!
"Xue Rengui!!!" The mud sip in his heart, gritted his teeth like a curse and said the name - "I remember you!"
"Retreat - don't fall in love, retreat!"
Fighting across the grassland all his life, he was invincible and never defeated. For the first time in his life, he pulled out his horse and fled, like a bereaved dog!
The coach is like this, no matter the generals!
The Turkic soldiers who were smashed, shot and burned to death have become the ghosts of Tianshan Mountain.
The defeat is like a mountain.
Looking at the fireworks in front of him and listening to the Turks shouting, Xue Rengui's face was as heavy as water, but his eyes were red.
Every word, it's like bursting out of the teeth - "Order, chase! Kill without mercy!"
"Kill--"
All over the mountains, knives and guns are raised, and the sound of the Tang army's shouting makes Tianshan tremble!
The rolling cavalry fell from the sky, like the water of the Tianhe River suddenly leaked out, which was unstoppable.
Xue Rengui's white horse and silver robe took the lead, and Fang Tian painted a halberd like a fierce fire and ran like an angry dragon, and he was the first to kill.
Mud is outside the escort of the iron cavalry guard, and the horse fled back. Looking back at the foothills of the regiment, he saw the high flying red flag of the Tang army and the eye-catching snow-white riding.
"White horse silver robe Xue Rengui... I really remember you!" At this moment, the mud is ripe, and I almost want to eat its meat and sleep its skin!
"Wo-Wo-" Fang Tianhua's halberd hit out with one move, and unexpectedly cut off two heads and one horse's head.
The elite cavalry of the Tang army, who fell from the sky, made the Turks, who were frightened and scattered. At this time, he met such a heroic general like a god and demon, and suddenly collapsed.
Xue Rengui, who fought, never said a word. At this time, although he rode into the enemy, his eyes did not fall on the shrimp and crab generals around him, but looked at the wolf-headed flag that was getting farther and farther away.
"Sip the mud, don't want to escape! Give me back my general!" With a bite of steel teeth, Xue Rengui suddenly picked up the halberd and galloped. He abandoned the army and rushed to the core of the Turkic army alone!
It's like cutting tofu with a steel knife, and the defeated Turks can't stop him at all. Seeing a white robe cut into the Turkic army fleeing from the wind, he pointed straight to the core of the Chinese army.
"How can that be!" The mud has always been very deep and old in the city, and almost the three corpses explode!
"Although our army is defeated, it is defeated in a poor terrain, but the strength and physical strength are still superior. When we withdraw from this Jedi, we will wait to go back to fight with you! You are so good that the ephemer shakes the tree and chases it up!" Thinking about this, the anger in his chest was uncontrollable. He shouted, "Stop the Chinese army! - Return to the Tang army and kill Xue Rengui!"
After all, he is a great success in the strategy of a hero's army. Although he is defeated, the Chinese army led by the mud quickly calmed down. More than a hundred brave generals of the brave army, who were personally selected, lined up and rushed to Xue Rengui, who was riding alone!
Xue Rengui rode into the enemy's army. Although he took the enemy's head like picking up grass and mustard, he was not arrogant enough to be stupid. Seeing that he was about to catch up with the enemy's general flag, but more than a hundred riders from the other side rushed towards him. Xue Rengui was alert and alert.
Cut off a circle of enemy troops, Fang Tianhua halberd pressed on the back of the horse, and the tiger-patterned thrush bow was in his hand.
"Receiving arrows!!!"
The iron arm is open, and the arrows are like electricity!
The three riders fell to the ground at the same time, and the Turks were shocked - "Such a long distance, three shots with one arrow, all hit!"
As soon as they recovered, six arrows came together, and there was no collapse!
All the generals were frightened and sweated coldly - "Who will be next?"
At this time, Xue Rengui actually took a Sanjun iron bow from the saddle and put it together with the tiger-printed eyebrow bow given to him by Qin Mubai. The two strings closed the string of an arrow and aimed at the mud a hundred steps away!
"Sip the mud! - Return my marshal!!!"
An arrow was shot out, and the wind sounded like autumn, and the meteor rushed to the moon!
"Ah--" The mud was like being hit by a handle of iron, screaming and flying back, and falling off the horse!
"General!!" The generals were terrmented, and almost their souls came out of their shells!
All the soldiers rushed back as soon as they gathered and dispersed. The guards raised up a big shield and iron plate to protect the fallen mud!
All Turks who saw the scene of sipping arrows in the mud with their own eyes were all cold to their bones - that arrow was twice as long and twice as thick as the strongest armor-pierced arrow of the ordinary Tang army. It plunged into the mud and worn on his body. The strongest and most gorgeous chest and mirror armor made by the Tang people directly pierced his body, and then nailed him firmly to the ground, which could hardly be pulled out!
Before fainting, the mud gushing out like a fountain of blood in his mouth tried his best to send out a desperate character - "Withdraw!"
The Turks retreated like the ebb tide.
Between the rolling tide, riding a white robe is stained with blood, standing proudly like a lighthouse...
