Chapter 2054 It must be a small group of Tang Jun who wants to harass our army
Li De narrowed his eyes, stuck out half of his head obscenely, and put a telescope on his eyes.
In the direction covered by the telescope, a Tibetan soldier and horse appeared there, headed by hundreds of Tibetan elites wearing helmets and armor.
As they moved forward, they cautiously looked at the surrounding mountain ridges, and walked slowly but firmly towards this direction.
Li De picked up the flag, said hello to the guard leader on the opposite side, and lurked down again. The guards behind him had already begun to warm up in preparation for the upcoming violent bombardment movement.
Cheng Sanlang lay there, squinting his eyes as he looked at the soldiers and horses from far to near. The yak road was very wide, and Jianchuan City and Iron Bridge City had already cut off traffic.
Because of this, there are only these Tibetan soldiers and horses on the Yak Road. At this moment, the Tibetans are leading with about a thousand cavalry.
There were five riders in a row, marching forward, and the Tibetan warriors behind them were also in a row of five or six, marching side by side on this wide and flat yak road.
This Tibetan army, which numbered more than 10,000 people, marched silently in the yak path.
Cheng Jie just watched helplessly as the vanguard of this army moved from far to near, then passed the ambush site and continued to move forward.
He raised his head from time to time and looked at the ridge opposite, but the three small trees standing on the ridge were still standing.
Cheng Jie could only hold back, calm down, and wait for the military order from the other side.
To be honest, Cheng Chubi was quite nervous. After all, compared to the hot weapons combat in Luzhou in the past, it was completely his own personal exhibition match.
The subsequent hot weapon operations in the East Palace could only be regarded as small-scale special operations.
Unlike today, when he had to face a well-trained army of over 10,000 soldiers, Cheng Chubi controlled his emotions.
Instead of rashly ordering an attack immediately, he kept looking around the miles-long team, trying to find the opponent's coach or heavyweight commander.
Everyone knows that to capture the thief first, capture the king, but the question is where the king is and whether he can reach the general position in one step, which requires a test of his eyesight and decision-making strength.
"Sir, at least three thousand troops have passed by. When should we take action?"
Deng Chengxin, who was on the side, looked at the Tibetan soldiers who were as dense as a swarm of ants with bright eyes, and he could no longer hold back.
Cheng Sanlang murmured in a low voice while searching for the important figures among the Tibetan soldiers and horses.
"There is no rush. Wait a moment. We'd better deal with the enemy's middle and rear sections. If we open fire too early, it will easily give the Tibetan barbarians behind us a chance to escape back to Iron Bridge City, ruining our mission."
After hearing this, Deng Cheng nodded quietly and said nothing more.

At this moment, the Tubo army continued to march forward without realizing it. They did not even notice the figures on the top of the steep hills on both sides.
After all, none of the grenadiers showed their heads. Only a few people, including Cheng Sanlang and Cheng Jie on the opposite side, were quietly lying on the ridge of the mountain, looking out.
Estimating the distance to go, Chiguima, who had experienced the terrain in this area for many years, was extremely familiar with it and reported it to Lunkeer.
"Da Lun, now our forward should be not far from the entrance of the valley."
Hearing this, Lunkeer held up the helmet on his head and shouted to the soldiers beside him.
"Come here, tell Dorje Qianhu and ask him to lead his cavalry forward to cover our army's entry into Heyangtan and prepare for a surprise attack by the Tang army."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and melodious sound was heard from the top of the ridge.
It sounded like a whistle or the high-pitched singing of an unknown bird.
Lun Keer glanced at the ridge diagonally to his left with a look of astonishment, but the sound only rang once and then stopped appearing.
"It's really weird..." Lun Keer couldn't help but nervously looked at the steep ridges on both sides of the yak trail.
Seeing Lun Keer's nervousness, Chi Guimaben couldn't help but smile calmly, and once again spoke to comfort Lun Keer, who was not familiar with this area.
"Please rest assured, the ridges on both sides of the Yak Trail are very rugged, and there is no way to hide any ambush."
Lunkeer couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction towards Chi Guimaben.
"Well, luckily you have Chi Guima Ben, otherwise I would be really worried."

"How far away are we?"
A former Jianchuan City brigade commander who was hiding in the northernmost part of the ambush was lying there questioning the sharp-eyed spies around him.
"Almost a hundred steps away from us."
"Tell the brothers to prepare for action."
"But Brigadier General, the signal hasn't been received yet..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp and high-pitched familiar bamboo whistle.
"Do it!" The brigade commander's face was filled with joy. He picked up the horizontal knife at his hand and slashed hard at the hemp rope tied tightly in front of him.
Then, each round bamboo basket began to roll towards the yak path.
And the torches were lit one after another and thrown towards the yak path.
The sound coming from behind made the hundreds of Tibetan cavalry at the rear of the team turn their heads in surprise.
Behind him, he saw the bamboo baskets rolled down on the valley path, as well as the torches one after another.
"Enemy attack!" The faces of the cavalrymen in the rear changed drastically. They screamed, pulled out the sabers at their waists, and roared wildly.
"Turn around and follow me to kill you."
The moment the cavalryman roared, a messenger beside him picked up the horns on his body as quickly as possible and began to blow vigorously.
The low and distant sound of the horn began to resound in the yak trail. After the first horn began to sound, the continuous sound of the horn began to sound one after another.
With a look of astonishment on his face, Lunke'er turned his horse's head and looked behind him, but he only saw the densely packed Tibetan warriors. He raised his gaze and looked past them.
I only saw the rear of the team, and there seemed to be bursts of smoke starting to appear in the yak trail.
"What's going on?!" Lunke'er turned his head and shouted at Chi Guimaben with a look of shock and anger.
Chi Guimaben stared blankly at the rising and billowing smoke behind him.
"It's impossible. Big talk, it must be a small group of troops from the Tang Army who want to harass our army's rear lines."
"It interferes with my army moving forward. Please ask Da Lun to continue moving forward. General Mo will go and see for himself now."
After hearing this, Lunkeer could only groan and waved his hand impatiently, signaling Chi Guima to rush over quickly.
At the same time, he issued a military order and ordered the team to speed up and continue moving forward.
And at this moment, the crisp bird song that had just appeared sounded again.
Lunkeer suddenly turned his head and looked over, and saw small black dots in the sky, as if a flock of birds were passing by...
