Chapter 687: Go all the way, Jiajiang City refuses
Chapter 687: Moving forward, Jiajiang City refuses
Within the next four or five days, Sambuza and his soldiers almost collapsed! This elusive cavalry never engaged them in a direct battle.
However, they were harassed more than twenty times!
No matter day or night, no distinction between barren mountains and plains, no distinction between east, west and north! In short, sometimes they may not encounter them once a day, but sometimes they can encounter them twice in an hour! In this case, this
The Tibetan army tensed up almost all the time, and no one dared to relax even a little bit.
Sambuza also vaguely realized that this should be the enemy's trick and plan, but it was a conspiracy. Even if he knew that the enemy was consuming their energy, there was nothing he could do.
After all, he could not let the army relax. If it encountered a surprise attack, the lax Tibetan army would definitely suffer heavy losses in front of the cavalry.
Even now, Sambuza has not figured out how many people this cavalry has.
At first, five thousand cavalry appeared, but later, sometimes a thousand people, sometimes nearly ten thousand people, and sometimes they came in several teams.
According to his speculation, this cavalry should have at least nearly 20,000 people to achieve this effect.
The Tubo army carefully passed through a barren mountain, but in this terrain where it was extremely easy to set up an ambush, the cavalry did not appear at all.
After the army passed by, about a quarter of an hour later, a group of people suddenly appeared on a low hill.
The leader is none other than Shen Tang!
Beside Shen Tang, Meng Da, Bian Xi and other generals were there, and there were also more than a dozen Jin generals!
"Commander, this Tibetan army is almost reaching its limit. Why don't we take action?
Now, all our soldiers and horses have arrived, and even if we start a direct war, we can surround and kill them here."
Munda asked in confusion.
The army under Bian Xi's command had already regained its combat effectiveness. In addition, the Tubo army was unable to move at full strength under the attack of the Jin cavalry, so they had followed up a long time ago.
However, according to Shen Tang's order, he just fell far behind the Tibetan army and did not show any trace.
Shen Tang smiled and shook his head, "No rush!"
"This Tibetan army has 50,000 people. If a war breaks out at this time and they fight back desperately, even if we win, it will be a tragic victory and the casualties will definitely be huge.
Moreover, there is still time for the road ahead, we just need to wait until they completely relax, and then they will die! Don't worry, this Tibetan army will never escape our grasp!"
"Commander, we have already alerted the enemy, how could they relax?"
Bian Xihu asked doubtfully.
"On this journey, they naturally don't dare to be careless in the slightest.
However, if they are tense all the way, what do you think will happen when they arrive at Jiading Mansion?"
Shen Tang said with a smile, and after a slight pause, Shen Tang said again, "After passing Jiashan and continuing for more than a hundred miles to the east, we will reach the intersection of the three rivers.
This is an endless plain, and it is only a few dozen miles away from Jiading Prefecture.
So, I plan to place the final battle here, what do you think?"
Shen Tang's words made all the generals present slightly startled, and then they all nodded!
The location mentioned by Shen Tang can be said to be the most unsuitable location for setting up an ambush. The Tubo people must have thought so too.
Moreover, once there, the Tibetan army, which had been tense all the way, could finally look at Jiading Prefecture in the distance, and it would definitely relax completely.
Even, subconsciously, you will relax a lot.
In addition, this Tibetan army is already short of food and grass. By that time, not only the mental relaxation, but also the physical fatigue will become apparent in an instant.
Such a Tubo army is definitely at its weakest combat effectiveness.
At that time, if the Song army suddenly attacks, the Tubo people will definitely collapse.
After running for two more days, the exhausted Tubo army finally arrived in front of Jiajiang!
Looking at Jiajiang City from a distance, Sambuza looked grim! Hongya has been occupied, and there are cavalry attacks along the way. Can Jiajiang still be under their control?
It's impossible even if you think about it.
However, Sambuza was a little unwilling to give in! This morning, the quartermaster had secretly informed him that although he had eaten twice a day recently and tried to save food as much as possible, the small amount of food and grass had still been used up. Clean.
Tonight I can manage to fill it alone, but tomorrow there won't be a grain of food left.
"Duanmu Qing, lead two thousand people and go forward immediately to see how Jiajiang City is doing! If anyone refuses, just go back.
If the city gate is opened, then you will lead the troops in to investigate first!"
Sambuza said to the bodyguard beside him.
Duanmuqing accepted the order with his hands, and then led two thousand people to a place three to four hundred steps away from the city wall.
"This general is the general of the bodyguard under Commander Sambuza. Now the commander is leading his army to pass by Jiajiang. Quickly open the city gate to greet him!"
After shouting three times, there was still no movement at the closed city gate. However, a figure slowly appeared on the city wall!
"The villain has seen the general! This Jiajiang has been occupied by the villain.
Therefore, I hope the general will atone for his sins.
Lord Commander, please bypass Jiajiang City!"
After saying that, he ignored Duanmu Qing and turned around and left.
Duanmuqing's face was ashen. If it weren't for Sambuza's order, he would have ordered an attack on the city.
However, the situation along the way was strange, and he did not dare to take action rashly. He could only go back and inform Sambuza before making plans!
After listening to Duanmuqing's report, Sambuza just nodded silently.
"In this case, then immediately bypass Jiajiang City and continue moving forward!"
Of course he also wanted to take down Jiajiang City and breathe a sigh of relief, but he knew the state of his army better! He had been tense for the past few days and might collapse at any moment.
Moreover, although Jiajiang City is not big, it is difficult to defeat it easily.
If that cavalry surprise attack when they are attacking the city, it will definitely be enough for him to drink a pot.
Therefore, he did not have the courage to gamble.
After crossing Jiajiang, there was only less than 200 miles away from Jiading Mansion! However, on the second day, the army ran out of food!
Listening to the noise and angry shouts in the camp, Sambuza in the tent smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had to calm down the army first, otherwise, if there was a mutiny at this time, there would be no need for the enemy troops at all. Came to attack.
Taking a deep breath, Sambuza walked out of the military camp!
"Silence!"
Sambuza's appearance suddenly silenced the chaotic camp, and everyone's eyes fell on Sambuza.
"Gentlemen, our army indeed has no food and grass! You also know that due to unexpected events, both Jiajiang and Hongya cities refused us entry, and we did not obtain food and grass.
However, please continue to persevere.
As long as we continue walking for dozens of miles, we can reach the shore of Moshui! After passing Moshui, there is an endless plain in front of us, and Jiading Prefecture is also very close! By then, even if the enemy forces want to attack us, they will
