Chapter 98 Betrayal
Twenty miles to the rear, Tubo's 50,000-strong army was here, quietly waiting for reinforcements from Zhike County to arrive.
Gewamo Rong walked back and forth, his face looking a little ugly. He did not want to fight this battle, but his nephew Gewa Bide made the decision without his permission. Without his consent, he ordered Zade to lead the army to attack the Jin army, so he had no choice but to The leader of the army came. In his opinion, there are still 50,000 Jin troops in Zhike County, which is not much less than the 70,000 Tubo soldiers he brought. If there is a fight, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose. Gewa Bide's The plan is still too risky.
"General, a large number of Jin troops have been spotted thirty miles away, and they are rushing towards General Zade."
A scout rushed to Gewa Morong, dismounted, knelt down, and reported loudly.
Gewa Morong was stunned. In less than three hours since the battle, how could the Jin army from Zhike County, which was four hundred miles away, arrive so quickly?
Gewapide was on the side. Hearing the arrival of reinforcements from the Jin army, his spirit was suddenly shaken. He stepped forward and asked urgently: "How many people are here?"
"About twenty thousand."
Gewapide was overjoyed and quickly said to Gewamo Rong: "Uncle, the opportunity to fight has arrived. As long as this battle is won, the 30,000 Jin army in Zhike County will not be a concern. I will lead the army to Liangzhou and Mo Rong." When the Beihu tribe learns of the war situation here, they will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to Anbei. The Tubo and Mobei Hu tribes will join forces to invade the Central Plains and gain countless wealth and population."
Gewa Morong suddenly looked at Gewa Pide and shouted angrily: "It's so easy to think of useless things every day. The Hu people in Mobei have already entered the Central Plains. How could they be blocked by Li Zhong in the desert?" Northern grassland, dare not go south for decades?"
Gewapide was unconvinced and said: "That is because the Hu tribe in Mobei is useless. We, Tubo, have now risen and have more than 600,000 armored elites. As long as we use our troops properly, it is not impossible to destroy the Jin Dynasty."
My nephew is becoming more and more arrogant. However, as a concubine in the clan, he has a little talent and luck. When he reaches a certain status, his thoughts will become more and more wild. I should remind him that the subordinates are the subordinates. Human beings can never become superior to others.
"Pide, if we win this battle, everything will be easy. If we lose, don't blame me for being a ruthless uncle."
After saying these words, Gewa Morong put his left hand on the hilt of his sword and looked at Gewa Bide with murderous intent.
"Don't worry, uncle, if we lose this battle, my nephew is willing to die to pay for it."
Gewarzide's face changed slightly, his head drooped, and he had no choice but to surrender, but his eyes were full of resentment.
Gewa Morong snorted coldly and looked into the distance.
Tubo was ambushing in secret, but they did not know that the 20,000 Jin troops who came to help did not go to the battlefield ahead, but had a clear goal and came directly towards them.
"Damn, we've fallen into a trap."
Upon learning of this situation, Gewa Morong's expression suddenly changed. His first reaction was that he had fallen into the opponent's trap.
Gewapide looked at the panicked Gewamo Rong, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, there is no need to panic, there are plains all around, and the geographical advantage is fair to both sides. The Jin army There are only 20,000 people, and we will fight them head-to-head several times over, and we will win without a doubt."
Gewamo Rong nodded and calmed down. Gewabidde was right. His side's troops were far stronger than the other side's, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Gewa Morong immediately issued a battle order, and 30,000 infantry began to form a formation. He took charge of the center, and 20,000 cavalry were led by Gewa Pide. When the Jin army arrived, they attacked from the side.
The general who led the 20,000 Jin troops was called Zhao Chi, who was originally the governor of Liangzhou. When Ma Wu was the military governor of Liangzhou a few years ago, he had been following him around. He could be said to be Ma Wu's confidant general.
"General, the Tibetans have formed their battle formations. Shall we continue to move forward?"
Tan Ma informed the Tibetan people about the situation, and the deputy general asked in a low voice.
Zhao Chi looked at the scouts in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Where are General Hong Chenghao's troops?"
"Half an hour ago it was a hundred miles away on the right side of Tubo, but now it should be less than fifty miles away."
Zhao Chi nodded, waved his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Fight first and then talk. If we can defeat the Tibetan army in one battle, that would be the best."
The lieutenant general nodded in agreement. If he could defeat the 50,000-strong Tubo army in one battle, this would be a great achievement. If not, in the middle of the battle, Hong Chenghao led 50,000 Anbei cavalry to attack from the side of Tubo, and Tubo would definitely be defeated. Doomed to escape, both Ma Wu and Li Zhong have issued killing orders. They will not accept surrender. How many kills can be killed? They will accomplish their feats in one battle and completely cripple Tubo. Longyou will have no worries within ten years and can feel at ease. Conquer the Great Stone Empire in the west and restore the homeland.
Ten miles, five miles, three miles.
Kill! Kill!
Zhao Chi is also a fierce general, with a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. He charges forward, with the darkness behind him. They are all roaring and waving their weapons to increase their momentum.
After several rounds of arrows, 20,000 Jin cavalry and Tubo infantry fought together, and a fierce fighting began.
"General Pi De, shall we attack?"
The deputy general asked in a low voice. The Jin army had already rushed into the infantry army town. Twenty thousand cavalry were already ready to attack, and they were just waiting for the general to give the order to attack.
"Why are you panicking? We are waiting."
Now was a great opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Jin army from the side, but Gewarpide did not move.
"The scouts sent out haven't returned yet?"
Gawadide shouted loudly to the left and right and asked.
Many generals looked at each other, what time was it, what scouts were they waiting for?
Gewapide gritted his teeth and looked at the battlefield two miles away, his face changing uncertainly. Before leaving, Lai Zonghan once told him a possibility. Once Ma Wu found out that they were leading an army to attack, they might ignore hundreds of thousands of people. The life and death of the surname, gather all the troops, a mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, and there is a counter-attack. Although this possibility is not very high, you still have to be careful.
Now that the Jin army is heading directly towards this direction, it is obvious that they have already grasped their movements. So will it be possible, as Lai Zonghan guessed, that Ma Wu, regardless of the life and death of the people, gathered all the troops and came to fight to the death?
While deep in thought, the scout on horseback finally came back and rushed to Gewadide. With an obvious look of panic on his face, he said in a trembling voice: "General, there is a large group of cavalry coming twenty miles to the east."
"how many people?"
"At least fifty thousand!"
ah!
Gewapide's face changed drastically and he lost his voice: "How is it possible that Ma Wu has so many troops in his hands?"
"Could it be the cavalry from Anbei?"
A lieutenant general said hesitantly that he thought this might be unlikely, but if it were not so, how could Ma Wu have an extra 50,000 cavalry army in his hands?
Gewapide took a breath of air. If it was really Anbei's army, and this time came, the other party had obviously planned ahead and dug a big hole, waiting for them to jump into it.
"I'll inform the general."
A general yelled and went to inform Gewa Morong.
A sharp look flashed in Gewadide's eyes, he suddenly took out his bow and arrow, nocked it and shot.
ah!
While screaming, the general was hit by an arrow in the back, fell off his horse, and died.
"General...general, what does this mean?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Gewadide in shock.
Gewadide put away his bow and arrow, glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, just follow me."
After saying that, Gewadide turned his horse and ordered the entire army to retreat immediately and return to Shanzhou.
