Chapter 108: Offending Me, Tang Dynasty Will Be Punished
Chapter 108: Even if you offend me, you will be punished
The northwest is extremely dry in autumn and winter, and the Dafeichuan vegetation is dense, so you must be careful to prevent fires. However, this man-made fire is out of control.
In an instant, it turned into a sea of fire, and the fireworks were simmering up, from day to night, you could clearly see it two hundred miles away! The flames were like dragons, spreading mile after mile. Because the fire was too powerful, it felt like you would feel that your whole body was about to be dried up when you got a little closer.
The Tubo cavalry had just begun to have the strength to run, but the fire on Dafei River formed a local air convection, which was the so-called tornado, which enveloped more than 30,000 Tubo cavalry.
After three days and two nights, the entire Dafeichuan grassland turned into ashes. On the fourth day, when the Beiwei Army rode its horses into the sea of ashes, several feet of ash walls were accumulated in many places. The wind blew through the ashes and collapsed, and the entire West Sea was filled with strong wind.
Even the originally blue West Sea has been floating on a layer of ashes. Some of the ash still have dark fires hidden underneath, burning many horse hooves. Grass ash is a good fertilizer. The grassland may grow more plump next year, but at this moment, a radius of hundreds of miles has become a dead world after the violent flames.
Under the leadership of Liu Tong and Xunxiang, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army rode their horses into this Dafeichuan. In fact, there were not many Tubo people who actually burned to death in this fire, accounting for about one-third, and most of them were not trampled on by themselves. Of course, the most were still smoked to death by thick smoke.
Liu Tong came to a place that was not burned by the fire. Seeing that the Tubo people could not escape, they mowed the grass wildly. They cut out a large open space, which became the only place where Dafeichuan had not caught fire. Everyone was greedy for life and could not escape. Tubo soldiers who were not dead for a while were instinctively rushed towards this place without fire. Tens of thousands of people gathered within the size of a football field, but they avoided the fire but failed to avoid the smoke. The fire was burning to the extreme. Once the smoke was smoked, hundreds of people were smoked here.
Most of the people who died here had no wounds on their bodies, and even their clothes were not damaged. However, they were densely packed with tens of thousands of corpses piled up like stacks of arhats, which made the person they saw shudder.
Even though these Tubo people still have armor, swords and guns, they may still have some money on them, whether it is Liu Tong or looking for a face, they don’t want to disturb these Tubo people who are sleeping here.
When Takamoto Zengren and Dongpuqiongda'an led thousands of Tubo cavalry to hear the news, they didn't care about Liangzhou City and hurried back. When they passed this huge mountain of corpse, they had no thoughts anymore, and had only one thought in their minds.
Run back quickly.
As the saying goes, ideals are full, reality is skinny. Their retreat path is destined to be smooth, but they are greeted by the snipers of the Beiwei Army. Of course, this sniper is not snipers with snipers, but like a sparrow battle, a little east and a little west, and a scout of the Tubo people or a single person.
The Beiwei Army fought against the Tubo people, but there were few casualties. After half a month of battle, the Tubo people suffered only six or seven hundred casualties. However, the blows caused by Tomoto Zengren and Dongpuqiongda'an's troops, especially psychological blows, were very big, which made the Tubo people afraid to go out for reconnaissance.
Da'ang and Zengren decided to return to Supi immediately.
However, this retreat will naturally not be peaceful. The Beiwei Army will never let them go back smoothly. Every night, they will face endless attacks from the Beiwei Army, such as setting up traps, digging out traps as thick as bowls on the flat ground, and various hunting mechanisms. At every moment, the Tubo people are bleeding.
When Da'ang and Zengren's troops passed through Naluyi (Xinghai Daheba), then to Nuanquan (hot spring), Liemo Sea (Kala Sea), crossing the sea (along the Maduo Yellow River), crossing the Zishan Mountain (Bayan Kala Mountain), and crossing the Yak River (Tongtian River). When they crossed the Yak River (Tongtian River), they had less than 3,000 soldiers under their command.
More than 50,000 troops went to war, but now there are less than 3,000 people. What's more, they have not even seen the Tang people yet.
Now the Tubo army is almost insane.
Just as the Tubo people were crossing the cold river, Da Ang suddenly screamed loudly.
Da'ang screamed in dismay: "Run!"
He ran to the distance in a hurry.
I heard a rumbling sound, and the snow on the snow in the distance was like thousands of troops, roaring down.
When marching on the snowfield, the most deadly thing in winter is that it is best not to make a big noise, because this will cause an avalanche. In fact, it is not that Da Ang and Zengren are unlucky, but that this avalanche, which is actually like the fire in Dafeichuan, is all artificial.
Liu Tong found that once the tincture oil refined by Chen Ying was ignited, it was very easy to explode, like thunder. For this reason, he let the last 600 kilograms of tincture oil ambush on the snow-capped mountains of Tanggula Mountain. In order to create this avalanche, Liu Tong was also a waste of his brain.
He asked someone to wrap the cowhide into a cowhide house, buried tinder oil, and placed a torch tied with a thin thread on it. A thick incense was tied to the thin thread. When the tinted incense burned to the thin thread, the thin thread was burned by the incense, and then the torch on it fell from the air, lit six hundred kilograms of sealed tinder oil.
After the sulphur explosion, a small avalanche of more than ten miles wide formed. However, a dozen miles of avalanches were enough to bury all the tragic tribes under Da'ang and Zengren's command.
The Tubo people raced against the avalanche. In fact, their speed could not keep up with the avalanche in any case, so one Tubo people after another were buried in snow.
...
Plans can never keep up with changes.
Chen Ying had not received the news that the 50,000 Tubo army under Ru Zi Zang Gu had been wiped out. However, Chen Ying first received the news that Murong Fuyun led 100,000 Tuyuhun (even the people included) and the coalition forces of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, a total of 200,000 troops besieged Gaochang City.
"His purpose is not Gaochang City!" Chen Ying snorted coldly and said, "His real purpose is Jinman County!"
"This..." Su Dingfang was even more shocked when he heard this and shouted: "He...his goal...is our food?"
"Not bad!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "If Murong Fuyun doesn't take action, he will pull out our roots in the Western Regions as soon as he takes action."
After Chen Ying arrived in the Western Regions, he reclaimed 750,000 mu of wasteland. He could obtain one million stones of grain, which was more than enough to support Chen Ying's 100,000 infantry and cavalry under his command. However, it is precisely because of this that the status of Jinman County is very important.
The Hexi Corridor will soon be sealed by heavy snow. There is no way to obtain supplies from Liangzhou throughout the winter, so I can only rely on new grain from Jinman County. If an accident occurs in Jinman County, then Chen Ying's lonely army will definitely be defeated on his own without fighting.
Hearing this, the generals were anxious: "Major Protector, what are you waiting for now? We must return to Jinman County immediately!"
Chen Ying shook his head: "No, there is no news from Ruqi Zanggu. Once we return to Jinman County and the Tubo people will capture Liangzhou and cut off our ties with the court, we will be more passive."
In fact, what Chen Ying was considering was that Murong Fuyun, whom he underestimated, was only more than 500 miles from Gaochang City to Jinman County. For most cavalrymen in the Western Regions, this distance of up to three days is probably three days. I'm afraid that when Chen Ying received this urgent report, Murong Fuyun had already arrived at Jinman City.
It takes five days to get back to the rescue after a journey of more than 2,600 miles. It is too late.
When Zhang Shigui heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "The Great Protector, Murong Fuyun's target is Jin Man. He is not going to defeat us, but to drive us out of the Western Regions. Jin Man City is our fundamental location. We must not be able to lose money! Although Liangzhou will be dangerous, the Tubo people are like the Turks, and they are not good at attacking the city. I think His Highness of the King of Qi can also defend the city. Once we calm the turmoil in the Western Regions, we still have the opportunity to advance eastward, but once Jin Man City is lost... then... we will be cut and surrounded by enemies! But if we retreat to Jin Man and defend on the city, it is enough to resist Tuyuhun iron hoofs, and then use the Modao formation, the hook and sickle cavalry cavalry, the Yue cavalry regiment and the Tuyuhun field war. At that time, even if Tuyuhun Murong Fuyun joins forces with the Western Turks, we may not be able to do anything to us! As long as we defend the Jin Man line, we can still wait for an opportunity to move in the future!"
In fact, Zhang Shigui didn't say something secretly. Li Yuanji was the general manager of Liangzhou, but Chen Ying was not. Even if the Liangzhou general manager's office was in a mistake, the court held him accountable, but he could not ask Chen Ying.
Chen Ying had a calm face, but did not agree.
Su Dingfang and Guo Xiaoke's eyes met in the air.
Guo Xiaoke said: "The Protector of the Great Master, the last general asks for battle, the Protector of the Great Master, and the last general, with General Su, we lead 30,000 Yue cavalry to deal with the Tubo people here."
"No, although the Yue cavalry is not weak, it is not an opponent of the Tubo people. Once we divide the troops, we will be in the minds of Ru Zhu Zang Gu." Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Now the autumn harvest of Jin Man has been completed, and the four cleans in the wild have already entered the city! This command is passed on to the Great Guardian: the four counties of Tingzhou are defending and waiting for assistance to block the rebel army with a strong city. Send the excess weapons in the treasury to the people, villages, tribes, and tribes, and set up forts to defend themselves! Those who dare to lead the way for Tuyuhun or the rebels will be destroyed. The order of the Great Guardian to issue all tribes and tribes to follow the thief, so that their clans will wither. The command of the Great Guardian will make their tribes die. The people in the Western Regions are ordered to kill the Tuyuhun people who are single: Kill a Hu'er and reward a hundred acres of land!"
When the generals heard this, their hearts moved.
He thought to himself that Chen Ying is fighting against the tribes of the Western Regions!
Chen Ying said with murderous eyes: "If Murong Fuyun is coming, let him come! Because he has only had this opportunity! After this battle, I will ask the Western Regions to grow grass for thousands of miles, and I will create a thousand-year-old legend, and Hu Er will know a truth from now on. Even if he offends me, he will be punished even if he is far away!"
A flying cavalry flew across the Shule River and galloped westward. They carried Chen Ying's orders to convey to the various departments!
At this moment, a team of cavalrymen were also rushing towards the southeast.
Chen Ying's heart moved: "The Tubo people finally moved!"
The knights on the horse cheered: "The great victory, the Beiwei army wiped out the entire army of Ruzhu Zanggu, and no horse left!"
Chen Ying's heart finally relaxed.
Win.
This victory is really important.
Zhang Shigui asked timidly: "The Great Protector, your previous order?"
Chapter completed!
