Chapter 194 Breakthrough in the Chase Valley

The Datong River, one of the tributaries of the Yellow River, starts from the Tole South Mountain in the west, connects with the water in the east, and then flows into the Yellow River. The total length is not only a thousand miles, and the amount of water is not too large. However, the river valley is deep and narrow, and the water is rapid. Only the middle stream Haomen River and the downstream Babao River Valley is wide and flat, with lush forests and abundant pasture, which is an important agricultural cultivation of Qilian Mountain. The pastoral area, especially around Babaochuan, has a humid climate and suitable for cold and heat. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been one of the important pastoral areas of Zhuqiang. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, he made every effort to operate Hexi and built along Babaochuan into one of the granaries in Hexi.

Up to now, although after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the number of irrigated fields in the Babaochuan area has been slightly reduced, it is still the title of Hexi granary. Most of Lanzhou rice grain comes from this place. However, the Tang army has been newly defeated and has no longer able to guard the whole territory of the Babao River. It has to retreat across the Datong River. According to the opposite side, our city and the Tubo army on the other side are facing each other. Although there are no large-scale wars between them, the small-scale battles between the cavalry are frequently staged. Generally speaking, the Tang army, which is mainly composed of local garrison troops, has suffered a slight loss. The cavalry sent has rarely crossed the Datong River, and the land of Henan has been under the control of the Tubo army. Of course, it does not mean that there is no. No, there is A small team of less than 30 people were taking advantage of the darkness before dawn and quietly wading to the south bank of the Datong River.

It was late autumn, and the sky should have been cold, but because of the drought this year, the temperature in the west of the river is still abnormally hot. Even if it is infiltrated with the moisture of the Datong River, it still can't alleviate the rampant autumn tigers. That is, there is a little comfortable coolness at dawn, but at this time, it is hidden in a small soil bag. Li Xian was obviously not in the mood to enjoy such a rare coolness. He stared at the team that was wading across the river without blinking. His face looked awe-inspiring, but in fact, his heart was full of nervousness and panic.

Li Xian is really nervous. Although he knows that tension does not help at all, Li Xian's heart can't help but be nervous - he can't help but be nervous. You know, this is the first battle in his life. This is such a large-scale battle, even if the process of the war has been repeatedly deduced, Try to be as foolproof as possible, but there is no perfect plan in the world. In case, if there is a chance, the consequences will be unbearable, which makes Li Xian feel a little frightened when he thinks about it. It's just that until now, the arrow has left the string and there is no possibility of turning back. Li Xian can only wait silently. The return of the war signal...

The water of the Datong River is not deep. In this dry season, the deepest part of the river is only two and a half feet. At most, it can only flood people's thighs, but it is extremely cold, with the coldness of the snowy mountains and so on. Lingzhong has been prepared for a long time, but when his feet just stepped into the water, it was still frozen to the point. He grinned and couldn't help cursing in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate a little, just because he knew the meaning of his attack and could not tolerate some slight mistakes. Otherwise, it would definitely affect the smooth progress of the overall war.

Although he didn't really look at it, he could only faintly see a few lights flashing from time to time in the dark night in front of him, but Ling Chong knew that the place was the first camp of the Tubo army. About a kilo of the river, there were not many soldiers in Neili, and there were only more than a thousand people, but it occupied the narrowest part of the entrance and strangled Tang. The route of the army's march belongs to the list that must be removed, but that's not the purpose of Ling Chong's trip. What he has to do is to clear the light and dark whistles in the surrounding area and seize the fortress gates, so as to create a good opportunity to win the battle for the attack of his own army.

The gurgling sound of the Datong River covered the sound of Ling Chong and others crossing the river. The darkness before dawn gave everyone the best cover effect, but it was only half a column of incense. Ling Chong and others have unconsciously climbed to the other side, and with Ling Chong's "beginning The gesture came out, and a group of people held the blades covered with mud and scattered into the darkness like ghosts. They sneaked into the reserved target that had already been observed, but Ling Chong himself did not move, but stood silently in place for a moment and estimated the time. After taking a deep breath, the cat walked forward with his waist.

The wet trousers clinging to the meat, and then being blown by the wind from the pass, it was really uncomfortable, but Ling Chong ignored it. The whole person shuttled between the grass and the bushes like a civet cat, and quickly approached the distance of only 40 feet from the Tubozhai Gate, and the journey was extremely smooth. It's just that this kind of good luck seems to be here. Just as Ling Zhong just rushed out of a big stone and was about to jump into a clump of weeds two feet away, suddenly a extremely dangerous premonition surged into his heart. Ling Chong was shocked and hurriedly twisted his waist in the air and forcibly changed from front to side jump. As soon as he landed, his eyes The afterglow of the corner saw a guide knife suddenly rising in the air, splitting where Ling Chong should have passed before.

Damn, careless! Ling Chong had been ambushed on the other side of the river as early as possible before sunset. He had checked the position of the light and dark whistles arranged by the Tubo army clearly. In his memory, there should have been no dark whistle here, but at this time, such a dark whistle appeared. If it hadn't been for Ling Chong's quick reaction, the knife just now would have been enough to cut Ling's rebirth into two. Cut, this made Ling Chong afraid, and he sweated coldly all over. However, at this time, Ling Chong couldn't think much about it, and he couldn't even turn over. As soon as he raised his hand, a sleeve arrow had shot out, but with a "swish", the sleeve arrow cut through the space and accurately shot into the throat of the Tubo dark whistle who intercepted. Throat.

"Dangdang!"

Ling Chong's sleeve arrow is really good. He shot the Tubo's dark whistle on the spot with just one blow. Unfortunately, Ling Chong was lying on the ground at this time. He was really unable to stop the machete in the hands of the Tubo's dark whistle from rolling down. He could only watch the machete fall on a big stone, and a crisp sound was in the night. It rippled away in the air.

It's going to be bad! Ling Chong turned over and turned up with conjection and nervously stared at the village gate not far away. Sure enough, he saw a team of Tubo officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the village seem to have noticed the movement here. They were stretching their necks and looking at the sound. Without turning around, a team of sentries patrolled out from the west side of the village. After talking with the soldiers guarding the gate, He raised the torch and changed his way to Ling Chong's hiding place.

Ten people, damn it, it's a big deal! With the help of the bright light of the torch, Ling Chong slightly counted, and the cold sweat on his forehead immediately gushed out - if it was usual, the ten Tubo soldiers did not pay attention to it. Even if it could not be completely annihilated, it was easy to get out, but at this time it was troublesome. Even if the patrol could kill the whole team, it could not Stop this team of cruise sentry to send an alarm signal. Once the Tubo camp is shocked, the originally scheduled surprise attack plan is bound to flow/production, and it is likely to be a bitter battle. At that time, the battle plan to rush through the Datong River Valley as soon as possible will also face the risk of failure. If so, he will be eternal. A sinner.

"Goo, Goo..."

Just as Ling Chong was anxious, a gentle sound of birds sounded one after another, and then black figures flashed from the left and right sides, but the previously dispersed Tang sentries had completed the task and came to meet.

It's too late! Although his officers and soldiers gathered one after another, and the number of people soon exceeded 20, the team of Tubo sentries will also go within ten feet. Ling Chong knew that time was not enough to avoid the team of patrols. The reservation plan to kill silently in front of the enemy's gate was obviously impossible, and now there are only two ways to go - one It is to give up, and it can keep a lot of men's well. Unfortunately, Ling Chong can't do this. Just because of this, the overall battle plan will inevitably lead to a serious setback. Even if he can escape, he can't escape Li Xian's punishment. In this way, there is only one way to go, which is to kill and kill!

"Go up and kill!"

Ling Chong was originally a very murderous person. When he made up his mind, he did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand and threw the ceremonial flowers he had already held in his hand into the sky. Then he roared regardless, he raised his knife and attacked the team of Tubo patrols. When the Tang sentries saw the situation, they did not dare to neglect them. After roaring and following him, the prologue of the war officially began.

It's not good, something really happened! As soon as the fireworks exploded in the night sky, Li Xian reacted at the first time, and his heart couldn't help sinking - Li Xian made two preparations in advance. The best situation was that Ling Chong and others successfully cleared all the bright and dark whistles of the Tubo army, and then seized the enemy's gate in the dark night, and separated people to touch into the enemy's house and set fire to create the most There was great chaos, and the main force of Li Xian's department took the fire as the name. The whole army took advantage of the enemy's chaos to kill the enemy's camp and broke the enemy in one fell swoop. As for the second situation, once the advance team was broken by the enemy, it was called as a gift flower, and the whole army attacked the enemy's fortress. Now, the fireworks have bloomed in the night sky, which shows that Ling Zhong and others have encountered it. Trouble, it's inevitable to be unfavorable.

"Blow the trumpet, the whole army will attack!"

There was no time to hesitate. Despite the extreme anger in his heart, Li Xian did not dare to hesitate much. He raised his voice and roared. Then he lowered the small earth bag, flew on the horse's back, and rode the horse to the other side of the river.

"Woo-woo..."

Li Xian's first attack, and the 5,000 elite Tang army, who had been on standby for a long time, launched a charge. In an hour, the sound of horns, horseshoes, and roars resounded through the night sky. Countless cavalry crossed the Datong River like a tide, rushing to the chaotic Tubo camp like a giant dragon...
