Chapter 512 Hunting Border Pass 2
The sky in August is very blue, as blue as the sea, but the sun is not strong. On the people, there is a slight warmth. The wind blows, and the cattle and sheep suddenly appear in the grass. Although it is not very pleasant, there is a different atmosphere of a foreign land. Cheng Guangzong lies lazily on the grass pier and looks at it without a glance. The beautiful scenery in front of him is obviously not here - as a martial arts scholar today, Cheng Guangzong could have had the opportunity to stay in the court, and he could have been given the most fertile land of Guanzhong. However, he could not resist his father Cheng Hedong's wishes. He could only come to Shaanzhou and become a small cavalryman in the military, and this, Obviously, it is not the result that Cheng Guangzong wants. Even if it has been more than four months, it is still difficult for Cheng Guangzong to adapt to the current situation.
As a son of the military family, he should have been in the army. Cheng Guangzong understood this truth when he was young. It was just that the army he wanted to follow was the iron cavalry army, not that the current combat effectiveness could only be regarded as an ordinary border army. For this reason, he personally asked people to try. Unfortunately, not only did he not get what he wanted, but his father Haosheng taught him a lesson, and then he was sent to the pasture and started the "shepherd dog" business. This result really made Cheng Guangzong full of unwillingness, but his father's life was difficult to violate. No matter how much he was unwillingness, Cheng Guangzong did not dare to express his dissatisfaction. He could only lead two teams of cavalry to the pasture for grazing. The people of Hexi Horse Farm and others are escorting.
"Your Excellency, look, there is a beacon!"
Just as Cheng Guangzong's imagination was floating together, he heard a burst of horses' hoofs, and a riding whistle rushed, and the anxious roar instantly knocked Cheng Guangzong's imagination into pieces.
Cheng Guangzong jumped up and looked in the direction of the whistle finger. In his eyes, he saw a black and red column of smoke rolling up in the northwest, and his heart couldn't help sinking - the beacon of the Tang Army in Hexi was different from other places. The fireworks were not a single thick black, but could be adjusted according to the number of enemy troops. The all-black smoke column represents 10,000 soldiers and horses, while the yellow, red, purple, green and blue in the fireworks represent 2,000 troops in turn. It seems that the black red smoke column at present means that the number of enemies is between 2,000 and 4,000. Although it cannot be completely accurate, it is generally enough.
"Order: The whole army gathers, prepare for war, and let the herdsmen withdraw first!"
Cheng Guangzong did not know whether the enemy was the Tubo regular army or the nomadic tribal army of Tuyuhun, nor did he know whether the enemy was 2,000 or 4,000. However, no matter what the situation is, there was not much difference for the Tang army at this time, just because Cheng Guangzong only had two teams of cavalry, and there were only more than 300 people in total. Already, if there is no accident, the result of this battle will not be much better. However, Cheng Guangzong was not afraid of it. As soon as he turned over, he jumped on the horse's back, waved his hand, and loudly issued the order to prepare for the war.
"No!"
Since Cheng Guangzong had issued an order, the rider did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly answered. He was busy with the order. For a moment, the horn was loud. The Tang cavalry, which was originally scattered everywhere, rushed to the place where Cheng Guangzong was. At the same time, the horse farm people in charge of grazing were in a hurry. Busily driving cattle, sheep and horses to escape in the direction of Danzhou City, but because there were too many livestock, the whole evacuation operation was really not far away. Until the rolling smoke and dust stirred up by the Tubo army had floated on the horizon, the retreat of the ranchers was still in a panic.
"Damn it, let them leave their livestock and withdraw quickly!"
Seeing that the pace of retreat such as the ranchers was so slow, Cheng Guangzong couldn't help but be a little anxious. When he saw the Tubo army, he didn't dare to be careless at all. He drank and ordered the ranchers to evacuate quickly. This made the herdsmen, who were already panicked, dare not delay any longer. , leaving behind the scattered livestock, he rode his horses in the direction of Danzhou City.
"A group of rubbish, Moda, take your people and kill the group of fugitive slaves. The rest of the people will kill Tang Kou with this general. Go!"
Seeing that all kinds of people in the Tang Dynasty were in chaos, the general of the Tubo army, garmossodo couldn't help laughing grimly, curled his mouth disdainfully, and issued the general attack order contemptuously. He didn't take the waiting Cheng Guangzong's troops in his eyes - gar Mossodo, the cousin of gar Qinling, don't His face is very complicated. In fact, he is not very old. He is only 22 years old this year. At the age of 17, his army has always fought against barbarian tribes on the western front. In just a few years, he has made a great reputation. He is a new generation of famous generals in Tubo. At the beginning of the year, he was transferred to Tuyuhun on the southern line. The deputy of garzanpo, who always regarded himself as a hero in the world, has always been unconvinced by the strength of the Tang army. Since he arrived in Tuyuhun, he has often asked for war, but he has never received the permission of garzanpo, and has long been full of anger. This time, he got the secret order of gar Qinling himself to disturb the Tang Dynasty, and his spirit is extremely excited. , I want to establish immortal meritorious deeds. When I saw that the people of the Tang Dynasty were few soldiers, how could they let go of this great opportunity to take the first merit? The soldiers walked in two ways, and they actually wanted to catch all the people of the Tang Dynasty.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
The cavalry under Gar Mossod is his elite division brought from the Western Front. The tactical literacy is obviously much better than the troops stationed in Tuyuhun, which had already been exhausted by the Tang army. However, with the sound of a sad horn, the originally slightly scattered charge formation changed in an instant - a thousand led by Moda, the head of thousands of households. The people and horses galloped to the left side of the battlefield, making it clear that they wanted to bypass the interception of the Guangzong's department, and kill the ranchers in the fleeing from the rear, while the 2,000 soldiers and horses led by garmosodo quickly arranged into two triangular assault arrays, one left and one right, fiercely towards the array of the Tang army like two huge sharp cones. Plug it in.
"The two armies meet and the brave will win! Brothers, come with me and kill me!"
Seeing that the action of the Tubo army was so quick and decisive, Cheng Guangzong's heart couldn't help sinking to the bottom of the valley, just because he knew very well that with the existing troops at hand, he was unable to stop the Tubo army from chasing the ranchers. Not only that, even if his subordinates wanted to escape smoothly, it was not an easy task. At this critical juncture, Cheng Guangzong was not only not afraid of it, but also aroused the courage to fight to the death. Then he picked up the long horse on the winning hook, raised it high above his head, was lucky, roared, kicked the horse in the abdomen, and bravely took the lead in launching a counterattack.
"The mighty of the Tang Dynasty, the mighty of the Tang Dynasty, kill, kill, kill!"
The border army of the Tang Dynasty has always been brave. Even if they knew that they were not the enemy's opponent, they would never fall behind in momentum. Seeing that their master had launched brazenly, everyone followed up bravely and roared all the way. Countless breaths, they had adjusted a strict rectification during the march. The conical assault array, the neat steps sound like a giant beast running wildly. Although the number of people is small, the momentum is extremely high.
Go, go again! There was only a distance of about two miles between the two sides. At the same time, the distance between them was shortened rapidly. Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps... In an instant, the two rolling torrents collided fiercely. The horse danced wildly, the knife waved wildly, roared, howled, and the blade hit. Intertwined together, playing a movement of death!
"Kill, kill, die..."
Cheng Guangzong is a general. Although he is not very young, he is a decent martial arts scholar after all. His martial arts skills are quite good. Under this fierceness, there is no enemy under the gun. He is like a horse flying in the chaotic army. Wherever he passes, he is invincible, roaring like thunder. More than a dozen Tubo warriors have become the souls under his gun. Unexpectedly, he broke through the interception of the Tubo army with one person's strength, but the price paid was not small. He himself was damaged by several times and blood stained with his robes. He had lost more than 50 riders face to face. Of course, the Tubo army also failed to take much advantage. There were also more than 60 riders who fell on a mess of the battlefield core. Heart.
"Sphere into arrays, fight left and right, and don't let one person go!"
Gard Mosordo has never fought with the Tang army. Although he has heard more about the courage of the Tang army in the past, he doesn't care much about it. In his opinion, those are just exaggerated words of timid people. He is sure that his elite is the lion of a hundred battles. Once he attacks, he will return with a triumphant song. However, he never expected that under the first face-to-face confrontation, his own absolute advantage of nearly seven times could only be tied with the other party. The anger in his heart rose. As soon as he collected the soldiers and horses, he did not wait for the soldiers and soldiers to breathe a little, he waved his knife and issued the charge order again.
"Brothers, I sacrifice my life to become benevolent. I, the man of the Tang Dynasty, can only die standing and never kneel to live, defend my Tang Dynasty, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"
Although Cheng Guangzong was still the first battle, the talent of martial arts strategy was not under his father. As soon as the Tubo army moved, he had seen the way for the other party to enter and attack. He was not only not shocked, but his spirit was refreshed. He had a countermeasure to resist the enemy in his heart, but he did not say it clearly, but set his horse before the military array and waved his hand. The long horse roared loudly.
"Wei my Tang Dynasty, kill, kill, kill!"
In the previous war, although the casualties of the two sides were equal, the actual situation was extremely unfavorable for the Tang army. Because the strength of the Tang army was too small, it could not withstand such a loss at all. A group of Tang cavalry were all veterans of a hundred battles. They all knew what was strange, but no one retreated. They all had the determination to fight to the death. They let go of their throats one after another and let go of the strongest roar in their lives. The sound was like a thunderstorm, and a tragic spirit stirred over the battlefield...
