Chapter 489: Jiong and Thunder ([-])
After the war ended, some people in Chang'an were depressed and humiliated.As for Di Dayan, he almost wanted to hit him to death with a piece of tofu.

But the war process is very intense.Di Dayan is divided into three parts, which is also expected by Wang Hua.Tubo battles are based on fighting to support wars, and only Shanzhou, Hezhou and Granary have the most oil and water.And it is very close to Jishi Mountain and Dafeichuan, so it is convenient to march, simple to supply, quick to fight, and less risky.If, in addition to Wang Hua's advance arrangement, there is an accident, then there is no reason.Of course, even if there is an accident, Wang Hua can make first-hand preparations to recover quickly.Victory must be victorious, but no matter how beautiful the victory is, it is best not to have any demon moths if it severely hits some people.

But in this way, the first part of this battle is divided into four battlefields, and the first part is also the most important and critical part.But the scale of this battle is not small. Although it may not be able to catch up with the battle of Dafeichuan, it can also be ranked in the major battles between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

The first place of engagement was at the Fine Pebble River.

It can't be said that Dayan is incapable, it's just that someone designed a ridiculous trap, which happened to be around his neck.So all he saw was a mirage.But he has also done a careful deduction, the left and right must reach the target in advance, so that no reinforcements will arrive when the food is robbed.After all, Wangfu led many people to fight for food, and they had no fighting power.And Hululing is very close to Hezhou, so the battle of Xi'ehe was the first to start.

Ke Zangre didn't know that they had fallen into a trap. As they got closer to Shanzhou, he began to travel day and night, and 1 people reached the Xipebble River.

Xue Song had been watching with a telescope from a distant mountaintop.This was to display a small banner on a hilltop while their army was wading across the River of Fine Pebbles, the bank bursting in the distance. With 1 people, it is impossible for a nest of peaks to wade through the fine pebble river at the same time, and at most hundreds or thousands of people will be washed away.

But what is combat?morale.

Most of the Tibetans are from the plateau, with little water, and few soldiers who can swim.Wei Kong ridiculed the Tibetans for being unhygienic. It's not that they don't want to be hygienic. What if there is no water?The panic caused by the breach of the embankment will seriously weaken the morale of the Tubo army.Moreover, the water of the Xie Egg River surged, dividing the army into two.

That was the time for the ambush to attack.When half of the Tubo people were settled, the river water also vented to the distance, just in time for the cavalry to cross the fine pebble river.At that time, the Tubo people had already been defeated like a mountain.This will form a one-sided massacre.

But things have changed.

When the sun came out, the Tubo army arrived at the Xipebble River, and Ke Zangre ordered to camp in the woods on the river bank.

This made Xue Song feel very depressed.Although Ke Zangre was camping and the place was sparsely populated, he still sent scouts to search the surrounding area.It doesn't matter if it's a normal search, even Xue Song doesn't care if these scouts see the people massacre for the sake of eradicating traces, he doesn't have the kind heart of Wang Hua.Not to mention sacrificing the small self for the big self, the people in this area are mainly Tibetans, and he will not feel compassion.Of course he had this idea in his heart, but he knew he couldn't say it out loud, or his subordinates would immediately turn against him.

However, there were [-] soldiers ambushed in the ravine below the top of the mountain where he was standing. If the fighting power of the blood camp was like that of the original blood camp, Xue Song could directly lead the army to charge up.But more than half of these seven thousand soldiers are recruits.After training, but not in actual combat, when the fight started, people's heads rolled, blood filled the sky, and the wounded lying on the ground moaned and howled, how many soldiers could pass the test?

So this breach was arranged to hit the opponent's morale and make up for this shortcoming.And in order to ensure that they arrived in time when the embankment broke, the ambush was not far from the Xi'an River, although the horse's mouth was blocked with horse bits.But when the scouts came, couldn't these 7000 people find out?But now the dike is breaking?The enemy is in the dense forest on the other side of the river, and the upstream has already raised the river water very high, and it is unlikely that the water will rise into the dense forest.Even if it rises, how deep the water can be, and what effect does it have?
Xue Song felt very embarrassed and puzzled by Ke Zanre's change.But another dramatic scene happened.After all, it was late June, the hottest time of the year.Tubo set up camp very quickly, and there are no enemies here, and they don't plan to live for a long time. Even because of the dense forest, there is no need to set up tents.The so-called camping is to do some simple fortifications, and then the soldiers spread a layer of felt on the ground, and that's it.

Some soldiers made stoves to cook, but most of them ran into the Xie River.

It was a night march, and the weather was still hot. After exercising all night, every soldier was covered with a layer of sweat.The Xie River is good, the river is not deep, forty to fifty centimeters, which is undoubtedly a boon for the Tibetans who are afraid of water.So they went to the river together and splashed water on their bodies.As for the war horses, there are lush grasses on both sides of the river bank, and it is enough to send a few soldiers to guard them.

Even Ke Zanger just smiled when he watched the soldiers splashing water in the river.

He can't be blamed for being careless. The river was blocked up more than ten days ago. Now that the weather is hot and the sun is strong, there is no trace of the original riverbed.Moreover, there are many small rivers in this row, so you may pay attention to it, but even if your grandson is reborn, it is impossible to pay attention to the water depth of each small river.

Then tragedy happened.

But what Wang Hua praised the most afterwards was Xue Song's calmness in this battle.Xue Song hadn't given the order yet, and the scouts were still a while away from the place where he ambush the army.And it will take some time for the food in the big camp to be ready.Now more and more soldiers poured into the river.

Xue Song didn't do anything until he saw soldiers returning to the bank from the river, and he ordered people to raise the flag up.

Then Ke Zangre heard three dull sounds from a distance.He was a little strange, and of course he still couldn't think of explosives or bursting dikes.After all, it has never been experienced before, and it is not mentioned in the military book.

Just when he was suspicious, the flood rushed over like a beast.Some Tubo soldiers were very clever and immediately fled to the shore.But will it be possible?
After more than ten days of hoarding, the water level difference between the two sides of the embankment is almost four or five meters high. Maybe it is only the height of an ordinary roof, but what is the water level below?Only a few tens of centimeters.With such a big drop, how fast is the water flow?
The other half of the soldiers didn't have time to react at all, just stood there, watching the flood come, and then rushed downstream without a trace.Even some war horses grazing on the bank were washed into the river.

Ke Zanre is worthy of being the brave player that Dayan values.He immediately came to his senses that he had been ambushed.That noise is related to the flood.And the enemy is preparing them to break the bank halfway.This shows that many enemies are ambushed.But I didn't expect to camp here.But the original plan was to cross halfway, and even if he rushed, he would not wash away many soldiers, but because of his own negligence, he let the soldiers go down to the river to play.How many soldiers have gone down the river now, more than half of them are in the river.

He immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, Xue Song also led the ambushed army and killed them.There was no way to stop the dozens of scouts sent by Ke Zanre.But the river blocked them for a while, and now the upstream river has accumulated a lot of water, and it can't be drained all at once.

This originally used it to separate the enemy in half, but unexpectedly, it gave Ke Zangre a chance to escape.

But it didn't quite escape.

Some soldiers were so flustered that they ran away before they could get on their horses.Can a man outrun a horse?But a few soldiers were clever and hid in the deep forest.But most were caught anyway.It wasn't Xue Song who wanted to arrest them, but the soldiers in the river.

The soldiers were not drowned as soon as the river rushed.The normal water level of the river is not that deep.This is a hoarding current, and the further downstream it goes, the smaller the water potential is.Only a few soldiers were drowned, and very few soldiers were rolled by the flood, hit the stones in the river, knocked unconscious and drowned alive.Most of them were stunned and survived.But at this time, he had no weapons in his hands, and no horses by his side.

Xue Song also changed his mind, and led 4000 soldiers to chase after the fleeing enemy, while the remaining [-] men searched for prisoners along the two banks.

The search lasted two or three days, and only a few hundred soldiers were able to escape safely, and the rest became prisoners in Xue Song's hands.

Even the deserters let Xue Song chase after him.There is also a reason for this. Tubo rushed here overnight, the soldiers themselves were exhausted, and the horses also consumed a lot of energy.But Xue Song's soldiers and horses have all been nourished.

Ke Zangre didn't catch them, but he also fled back to Dafeichuan with only a few dozen people, or recruited two or three hundred people when he fled back.

In the first battle, Xue Song was almost bloodless. No more than 50 of his subordinates were sacrificed, and only two or three hundred were injured.

Similarly, there were not hundreds of enemies who were actually killed by force.Many Tibetans died, more than 1000 people, but that was due to the flood.Then more than 7000 prisoners were captured.Afterwards, the two sides checked through intelligence and found that hundreds of people were missing.Probably frightened, wandering in that deep mountain and old forest.

There is another huge harvest, a large number of war horses and weapons have been confiscated, and there is not much luggage. They are here to plunder, and it is impossible to bring much luggage.However, because the battle was won so easily, almost all the horses were captured.

Xue Song ended the battle, leaving 3000 men to continue searching for the prisoners, 1000 men escorted the prisoners back and forth, captured horses and weapons, and returned to Shanzhou City, but he set off again with [-] soldiers.

Ke Zan hot crossed Huangshui sneakily, but Xue Song crossed Huangshui swaggeringly.This is copying the back of the army on the Dayan Middle Road, not the back of the army on the Middle Road, but the back of the militia led by Wangfu.Although they are ordinary people, there are also many people, more than 2 people, and many livestock.This is also a piece of fat.

At this time, the second battle also started.

Ke Zanre's performance this time was not bad. He escaped in the front, and then sent his subordinates to immediately notify the other two groups to be careful and avoid being caught in a trap.But it was too late.

But the second battle was a little more tragic than the first.

Originally, Wang Hua planned to plant a large amount of explosives in the middle of the road.But after thinking about it for a while, I gave up the idea.

When laying out this plan, he studied the Dayan.Due to the limited data, some problems may be seen.Don't look at Li Da stretching like Zhang Fei, but he is not a rough person.The encounter that sent Princess Jincheng to marry was a surprise.However, according to the previous combat data of Fu Dayan, it can be seen that his combat method is very safe and very careful.

So he asked Ge Shuhan to pick up every piece of mud that fell on the ground when he was digging the tunnel.However, if explosives were buried on the avenue, it might be because of the conspicuousness that Fadayan would notice something was wrong.Then it will lead to failure.Although this would reduce the casualties of his soldiers, Wang Hua did not dare to gamble on the risk.

So, the final bloody battle.

In the evening, the scouts came.

Wang Hua also sent out scouts, but pretended to be herdsmen, and even really had a large number of cattle and sheep grazing seriously.But these scouts were all veterans, and it was obvious at a glance that these scouts, dressed as ordinary people, were Fu Dayan's scouts.

But they didn't go back to report.

Since the afternoon, Ge Shuhan has woken up all the soldiers.

These scouts also entered the forest, but 2000 people were well buried. They were originally in the bushes, and their heads were covered with dead branches, rotten leaves and thorns. They even dyed their helmets the color of mud for fear of dazzling.Coupled with the fact that it was dusk and the line of sight was not clear, the scouts who came in took a look and ran to the distance again.

But when Dayan arrived, it was almost midnight.

Ge Shuhan didn't give orders until ten thousand Tubo troops meandered away, and more than 1000 people left the Hululing Mountain Road, and he began to give orders.

Two thousand soldiers did not ambush in one place, but in three places, but unlike Yangchang Ridge, the mountain road of Hulu Ridge was not so long, less than three miles away.It's just that the mountain road is slightly wider.But Qu Dayan led 1000 soldiers, and they were cavalry, and they came in a hurry, and the team was even longer.Just like now, more than 3000 people have left Hululing, and [-] people have not entered Hululing.Therefore, the center of gravity is on the south side of Hululing.

This section is equivalent to cutting the 3000 troops of Tubo into four sections.This is tantamount to reducing the pressure on Liu Tong's [-] people, another member of the blood battalion behind, but increasing the pressure on Ge Shuhan.

There is no banner, and I can't see clearly, but the command is Geshuhan himself. He personally leads the southernmost ambush army, which is also the most dangerous and most critical part.The other two are just to watch his actions, he is dispatched in front, and the latter two are followed.

Hui Hui Dayan was really careless.

It turned out that this was a perfect surprise attack in the plan, otherwise he would not have waited for Luoxicheng's reply and sent troops directly.

Calabash Ridge is flat and not a suitable place for ambush.Even the scouts went into the forest to have a look, and left immediately, not to mention the army.After the scouts saw it, Fu Dayan became even more careless.

The worst thing was that he was still in the middle of the team, and was leading the team forward, when suddenly there was a commotion behind him.He turned his head to look, but the enemy did not see them, standing together in the woods on both sides of the road, but the bows and arrows shot down like rain.The casualties are minor.

The main blow was that many soldiers couldn't react in time, and some of them reined in their horses, but the comrades behind were still galloping forward, and they were knocked over.There are also a few who want to turn their horses back and run away because of fear.The result was even more confusion.

Ambushed, Gu Dayan thought to himself.

The most feared thing in marching combat is this kind of ambush.Xue Na's defeat by Khitan in history is also similar to the current situation.

But Dayan reacted very quickly, Khitan was in ambush on the top of the mountain that time.The reason why Hululing let Dayan relax is because the hills on both sides are not high and the slopes are not steep, so he can charge up on horseback.So he immediately ordered the soldiers to gather and charge up the hills.

Before the messenger sent a message, a second group of ambush troops also appeared from his side.There are not many arrows, so there are not many people in the first place. There are only 600 people in the middle section, and they have to be divided into three groups.Therefore, in each batch, only two hundred arrows fell.

But this division into three times is fatal. After the first batch of arrows is shot, the second batch of arrows also falls, and the second batch of arrows falls, and the third batch of arrows also reaches midair.This time the team was even more chaotic.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the striker in front of him, Song Songmu, immediately ordered the striker to turn his head to support.But the third group of ambushing soldiers also started to act, blocking them to the north of the mountain road.

However, the left and right sides brought by the attack of Dayan were all elite soldiers, and after suffering heavy casualties, they began to wake up.In fact, there are many clever people who have already held their rattan cards to block the rain of arrows.The orderly passed on Da Dayan's order.

This is when Ge Shuhan faced the test.

The terrain is flat enough to allow horses to run straight up to the top of the hill.The only advantage is that there are lush trees where the three groups of people are located, which weakens the advantage of the war horses.In order to solve this problem, Wang Hua did a drill in advance, and even personally inspected the terrain in this area in disguise.The first is when shooting arrows, divide part of the troops and use trees to set up tripping ropes.Win the time for Liu Tong's arrival.The second is the small Modao formation.There are still many recruits in the army led by Xue Song.But what Ge Shuhan faced was Di Dayan himself. Regardless of whether Ge Shuhan's two thousand soldiers or Liu Tong's three thousand soldiers were the most elite fighters in the blood camp.More than 1000 of them are veterans of the Blood Battalion.

The reason for this is that entering Yinchuan really requires troops to shock or even fight.And if most of them are not brought to Yinchuan, Go Dayan may not be able to enter Heshan two states lightly.Then the remaining troops will be allocated reasonably.Because of the complex terrain, the fine pebble river can ambush more people.If there are too many people, it is impossible to mobilize all elite soldiers.But from Hululing to Hezhou, the terrain is flat and simple, making it difficult to ambush.It is these 3000 people who are still swaggeringly stationed at a place more than [-] miles away from Hululing.

I'll leave it here for your scouts to see.

3000 people will not make Fu Dayan take it to heart, but if there are too many people, Fu Dayan will have concerns.It is possible that troops will not be sent.And the location of the station is also very important. It can't be far away. If it is far away, there is no way to control the time.You can't get too close, because when you get close, Dayan will feel on guard when he passes Hululing.

The number of people is small, and they are dealing with the most important opponent, so they are all elites.

But at this time Liu Tong started to set off.It was not Ge Shuhan who reported it, but the scouts on the south side of Calabash Ridge.

But before Liu Tong came, Ge Shuhan had to persist for a while.This is also necessary, otherwise come early and don't ambush.

Among the 2000 people, there are many people with strong arms, so they practiced this small Modao formation a few days in advance.No one doubted that the Mo Dao formation in the Tang Dynasty was famous.

Chong rushed up the hills, but the Tubo people were very depressed. Ordinary tripping ropes were made of hemp rope. If they found it and cut it with a straight knife, it lost its power.However, the enemy's tripping rope is a steel rope. He didn't pay attention at first, but the straight knife (similar to the epee, after Princess Wencheng got married, the weapons were improved, and gradually there were waist knives and short knives, but the straight knives were still the main ones). Also no response.I had no choice but to venture down and untie it.

But the arrows on the top of the head are flying down like rain, can they go down?
But this also shows the quality of the Tubo soldiers, who are not afraid of death, and once again made huge sacrifices, and all stumbling blocks were untied.In fact, this is not the case. If he could escape, Dayan would have withdrawn with a large group of people.Now being cut into three and four sections by the enemy, even I am trapped in the mountain path, unable to enter or exit, why not desperately.

After getting rid of this obstacle, Du Dayan felt pain in his heart for a long time. During this time, I don't know how many of his subordinates died.But just because they were trapped, they worked hard together and did not cause a collapse.The panic-stricken soldiers also began to regain their minds, and the morale of the army settled down.

But with the blow came again.He rushed to the front of the enemy, but he had to face the terrifying Mo Dao again.If it is in an open area, this small Modao formation is not terrible, and it will be destroyed after a little sacrifice.But now there are trees blocking it, so it cannot form a large-scale impact.Moreover, the enemy is condescending and loses ground.

The three groups of people used the Modao formation to block the periphery, and the soldiers inside continued to shoot arrows in three batches, but this time they had to separate out some arrows and shoot them at the enemy in front of them.

However, there were too many enemies, and gradually some Tubo people rushed into the Modao formation, causing some casualties.Moreover, although Di Dayan may not be able to rank sixth on the general list, he is not a master of soy sauce. Seeing the difficulty of conquering, he ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows up from the mountain path to support.Although there would be accidental injuries, arrows still landed on the heads of the blood battalion soldiers.

Then an order was issued again, that every enemy who killed a sentence would be rewarded with cattle and sheep.Used to boost morale.I'm a little anxious, since the enemy is lying here, there must be something behind, otherwise, with these three groups of troops, although there are not many people in the forest, there will not be too many, and they will not be able to defeat themselves.And up to now, the arrow has not stopped, and it continues to cut his subordinates into four sections.Explain that there must be reinforcements arriving in a while, which is a delay.

As a result, the pressure on the blood camp was even heavier.

Especially at the southern end, the hillside is the slowest and suffers the most from the Tubo soldiers.Ge Shuhan had to hold the Mo knife himself and kill the opponent to boost morale.I don't know how many Tubo people were killed, but they are still rushing to the top of the slope.And more and more.

Just when Fu Dayan saw the hope, there was sudden chaos at the northern end of Hululing, and there were countless shouts of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, and the howling of wounded soldiers.

In an instant, Di Dayan's face turned earthy.

At this time, Dayan made another fatal mistake.In fact, the blood battalion might not have much advantage at this time. If it was not divided into four sections, it would still be at a disadvantage when assembled.At this time, Dayan continued to cheer up his morale.Xueying wins, it is useless to doubt it at this time.But it was also a miserable victory.

But it was night for Guan Jian, and Gu Dayan couldn't see how many soldiers from the Blood Battalion were coming from a distance, but he could only see some men fleeing from the north to the south regardless of the threat of arrow rain.He is also afraid, if he is better at the southern end, he can command calmly.

But even he himself is trapped in the middle of the mountain road, can you not be in a hurry?So under tension, he no longer ignored the command.Also turned the horse's head, let the guards cover the arrows, and fled south.

The coach ran away, but the soldier was still willing to go all out.

The real debacle started.
