Yun Ye had no intention of entering the Xingxing Gorge, or even preparing to capture the Xingxing Gorge. He was just trying to establish his authority and buy some time for Zhou Zhong to travel.
Everyone else was a small force providing cover for the larger force. Who would have thought that Yun Ye's menacing attack was just a show. Among all the generals in the world, no one could spare their mind to think about other things under Yun Ye's attack. Even if they knew Yun Ye's attack,
Ye didn't dare to be distracted by his plan, because his attack was too unreasonable and too violent.
The crossbows on the camel city did not miss any suspicious place, and the ambush prepared by Lu Dongzan for Li Jing in advance was immediately revealed under the indiscriminate blow of the gunpowder crossbow.
Those things that looked like stones were actually made of cowhide, and were filled with soldiers. The original purpose was to catch the enemy off guard. Now, under the bombardment of gunpowder crossbows, countless Tubo people came out of hiding in the rocks in panic.
He escaped from the cowhide tent in the pile. Before he could run far, he was shot down by crossbow arrows as dense as locusts. Then he was hung up on an iron hook by the cavalry guarding Tuocheng and dragged away. On the road ahead of Tuocheng,
Generally, dead bodies and the like are not allowed.
The road became narrower and narrower. After five miles into the Xingxing Gorge, Camel City stopped moving forward. The shrill horns sounded, and a whole row of trumpeters were blowing the horns. The long Camel City quickly became
It became a square city, and the eight-oxen crossbows in the middle of the city were pushed to the front without exception. All the crossbow arrows were raised high, and the trebuchets were also ready.
Lu Dongzan didn't believe that Yun Ye could do anything. His army had retreated two miles away. That place was not accessible to Tuocheng. If Yun Ye wanted to completely occupy Xingxing Gorge, he would have to fight with him.
A normal war, a fight with real swords and guns, rather than relying on the power of weapons to show off one's power.
The crossbow arrow flew up with a bang and flew into the sky, almost blocking the sunlight on the canyon. When it just fell, the kerosene had already exploded, weaving into a huge fire net and falling down, and just before
At the same time, the kerosene barrel hanging on the hot air balloon also fell from the sky, and the air was filled with a strong smell of kerosene.
The fire net turned into a ball of fire, covering the narrow canyon. Oil and gas were carried by the cold wind into the canyon, and the air began to burn in an instant. Looking around, black and red flames were raging everywhere.
"Return to the army!" Yun Ye issued the simplest order. This saturation strike will make the flames in the canyon burn for at least three days. Everything that can burn on the ground is burning, which fully proves that there is no grass growing anywhere in Camel City.
A wise saying.
Lu Dongzan waved his hand and fanned away the black smoke in front of him. He was already a little confused. Yun Ye could only block the path of his own army and had little lethality to the Tibetan army. No matter how big the flames were, they couldn't burn anyone, right?
Doing useless work?
Soon he understood why Yun Ye did what he did. When he saw his soldiers holding their throats and gasping for breath, he realized that the by-product of the fire this time, which was thick smoke, was poisonous.
"Shameless!" Lu Dongzan cursed Yun Ye fiercely before blocking his mouth and nose with a wet cloth soaked in water. It seemed that he couldn't survive in the canyon, so he had to order the troops to withdraw. The fire had turned into a prairie fire.
I was swept over by the wind. If I don't move, my army will be handed over here.
Strategies are always coherent, and a single strategy is not called a strategy. The cavalry led by Cheng Chumo has already bypassed the Xingxing Gorge from the frozen hard meadow in the distance, and rushed towards Lu Dongzan's army. Seeing that Lu Dongzan's army was in full strength
, the military formation was not in any disorder, so they terminated their plan to charge into the formation and slowly retreated. Lu Dongzan also had no intention of fighting. He just stationed his army at the exit of Xingxing Gorge and built a strong camp behind him.
I made plans to stick to Black Rock Mountain.
This confrontation lasted for seven days, and Cheng Chumo couldn't find any opportunity to take advantage of it, so he had to go back the same way. At this time, the fire in Xingxing Gorge had just been extinguished, and the ocher-red canyon turned dark, and there was really no grass growing.
Lu Dongzan sent his scouts into the canyon, but after less than two miles, they were killed by the Tang army's crossbowmen. In front of it stood a pass, and countless Tang soldiers wearing pig mouths were busy nervously. They were preparing to build a gate here.
Offensive outpost.
This is Li Jing's army horse. Being able to exploit every opportunity is Li Jing's strength. He can make the most of his own potential. Li Jing doesn't care who drove Lu Dongzan out of Xingxing Gorge. He only has victory or defeat in his eyes.
Yun Ye led the army to continue to Yumen Pass. Missing the army was also a serious crime. The Han general Li Guang committed suicide because he missed the battle and was not willing to be tortured and humiliated by the petty officials.
Now Yun Ye is also facing the same problem, but his mentality is relatively stable and he will never commit suicide. Su Dingfang is waiting for him at Yumen Pass with his neck stretched out. He will help him hold back the angel.
Nowadays, few angels are willing to hang out in the Gobi Desert. The last one has died in Rock City. Especially I heard that the current general Yun Ye has an extremely bad temper and has reached the point of killing people on sight.
When he couldn't find anyone to kill in Rock City, he went and killed more than two thousand Tubo people. I heard that he also set a huge fire in Xingxing Gorge, burning all the rocks there black. I can't mess with such a person.
rise.
"Your Majesty has an order for Lantian Hou Yunye to return to the capital immediately without delay!"
Ma Zhou stood on the camel city and read the emperor's order to Yun Ye.
"No more?" Yun Ye planned to listen to a long story, but he didn't expect it to be just such a sentence, and it was an order rather than an edict. What he just gave to Du Ruhui was an edict. It looked like the handwriting on it was written by the emperor himself. His hands were awkward and white.
Except for Si Zi who could imitate it, no one else could do it. How come it became an order for him? The most outrageous thing was that Ma Zhou actually took out a command arrow from his arms and gave it to him. What happened?
It was like this last time in Li Jing's camp, why is it still like this in my own camp this time? He didn't say a single extra word, just dismissed it with such a short sentence?
"You are a general. If you don't accept the command arrows, why do you accept the edict? I have all good things in my edict, but it is not necessarily better than your military orders. Since I gave you the command arrows, it means you are still a general and no one will attack your army.
Your Majesty is trying to calm your mind and ask you not to be too impatient. He is also worried that you will be delayed on the way back to Beijing, so he specially gave you the command arrow instead of the edict. Don't you know clearly that after receiving the edict?
After that, will the ministers have a month's holiday? I'm afraid military orders won't be such a good thing. Come to Beijing quickly, your Majesty is probably impatient to wait."
Du Ruhui seemed really a little jealous.
"Li Jing said the same thing last time. Does it mean that the less your Majesty speaks, the more important he is? What's the truth? Ma Zhou, tell me what's going on?"
Yun Ye had no intention of being polite in front of Ma Zhou.
"General, what Prime Minister Du said is right. Your Majesty plans to reward all the meritorious officials at this year's Yuan Day celebration. Not only do you have to arrive in Chang'an before Yuan Day, but Zhang Shuai and Niu Shuai in Liaodong must also rush back.
In the capital, their replacements are already on their way."
"What did Dafeichuan say? Why is no one willing to go to Dafeichuan? Why doesn't General Li Jing return to Beijing with me?"
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "General Cheng is unwilling to come down from the plateau, saying that he will come down naturally after he kills Songtsen Gampo. Since General Cheng stayed in Dafeichuan, General Li Jing needs
Contain Lu Dongzan and prevent him from joining forces with Songtsen Gampo. Otherwise, General Cheng will be in danger in Dafeichuan. Therefore, except for the two of them, the rest must return to Chang'an, and the three generals on the grassland will also
No exception, the ceremony on Yuan Day is expected to be extremely grand, and it would be a shame if several generals were not in Chang'an."
Even though he knew that Ma Zhou was talking nonsense, Yun Ye still believed his lies. People like him had been leading the army for too long. In this way, they would form their own factions in the army, and they were desperately trying to control everyone.
How can Li Er, who has become a general with a leadership symbol, allow these people to control the same army for a long time? In the future, the leading generals will command different troops. This is basically a foregone conclusion.
Yun Ye got off Tuocheng and went to Yumen Pass to hand over the customs clearance documents. When he came back, he found that someone did not allow him to go to Tuocheng again, and only asked the general to leave for Chang'an immediately.
I looked carefully three times and found that I didn't recognize this person. After looking carefully again, I realized that this was a eunuch without balls. That day, Rimu, Xiaomiao, and Liu Fang were all in Camel City, and their delicate bodies were also in Camel City.
Go to the city, why are you not allowed to go to the city?
"Are you fucking planning to seize my wife?" Yun Ye grabbed the eunuch's neck and asked.
"Your Majesty has an order for Marquis Lantian to return to the capital immediately!"
"You fucking want to embezzle my spoils?"
"Your Majesty has an order for Marquis Lantian to return to the capital immediately!"
Yun Ye even knocked out three of this guy's teeth. He still said the same thing, but this is Tuocheng, his own territory. It's a joke that he doesn't let himself go to Tuocheng. The surrounding soldiers are so angry that they are ready to kill this guy.
The guy was torn apart.
However, Yun Ye didn't let them take action and beat up the eunuch who took over Camel City himself. It was probably fine. If someone else took action, regardless of whether the person who did it was justified or not, Li Er's general approach was to behead his head and then ask for the reason.
"Tuocheng will be given to you tomorrow. I still have to obey His Majesty's orders. I will return to Beijing immediately and won't sleep anymore."
Overnight, Tuocheng became unrecognizable. The military order only required that Tuocheng be handed over to the eunuchs, but it did not mention that the people should be handed over as well. These soldiers were brought out from Chang'an by themselves, so they naturally had to bring them back safely.
Tian Yuanyi didn't leave, and his official position was firmly tied to Tuocheng, so he looked at the devastated Tuocheng with heartache like a knife. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better updates of the novel.
