Chapter 2: The Flame Flourishes

"In the first battle of Wuwei, our army killed and wounded a total of 2,312 Tibetan people, and less than 500 escaped."

Wang Xiaojie's eyes flashed with a hint of agitation, and then he clasped his fists and said: "And the last general personally led the Yue cavalry to pursue and capture the Tubo general Zanpo." ”

Hearing Wang Xiaojie's report, Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, patted the battlements and laughed: "Okay, good son, our army is majestic, well done!" ”

In the midst of laughter, he reached out and patted Wang Xiaojie's shoulder.

Although Su Dingfang has not recovered from his illness for a long time, his skinny hand still has the power of ten thousand jun, and Wang Xiaojie's body shook for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.

But instead of being unhappy, he grinned and laughed with Su Dingfang.

The general who captured the Tubo people was praised by Su Dingfang, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, what a great honor it was.

"Zanpo is the son of Lu Dongzan, the main general among the Tubo people, the younger brother of the Qinling, and he is quite talented, how did you catch him?"

"It rained that night, and this person led more than 3,000 Tibetan elites to rob the camp, but was ambushed by our army who had expected it, and killed these Tubo people who robbed the camp without leaving a piece of armor."

Wang Xiaojie talked about the events of that night, his eyebrows fluttered, and his momentum was high.

"But it's very dangerous, almost ran away by Zanpo, there is a weird one in their army who is very powerful, fortunately, there are a group of Taoist priests from the Maoshan Sect who took action, and there are several strangers hidden in the army, who joined forces to injure the weirdness, so that Zanpo was left."

The events of the day were thrilling, Wang Xiaojie was very good at bragging in front of his comrades-in-arms, but in front of Su Ding, he restrained a lot, and when he spoke, he was not as sharp as he usually was.

This is also a coincidence.

Although Su Dawei urgently transferred troops to aid Guazhou, the remaining half of the forward army, plus the Wuwei Zhen army, still held the situation.

And in the team led by Su Dawei, it can be said that the team with the highest proportion of aliens in the Tang Army.

In addition to Ye Fashan's Maoshan sect Taoist.

There are also some aliens who were snare by Ducha Temple before.

And before Su Dawei set off from Chang'an, he also looked for Li Chunfeng, grinding soft and hard bubbles, and borrowed several star monarchs from the secret pavilion.

If Zanpo is attacking in other directions, it is just a matter of attacking Wuwei's side, and if he wants to turn the tables with weirdness, it is a wrong idea.

"What about the losses of our army?"

"The battle damage was very small, more than a dozen people were killed and more than 300 wounded."

This battle loss ratio can be said to be a big victory.

Wang Xiaojie licked his lips and said excitedly: "We set up a crossbow formation before, and that Baekje general Black Tooth Chang Zhibu really has some ability, just three rounds of volleys, and cut down nearly a thousand Tubo soldiers.

These thieves did not even wear clothes and armor for the convenience of robbing the camp. ”

"The Tubo people are not as rich as our Tang Dynasty, everyone in the Tang army has armor, even if the Tubo people wear armor, most of them are leather armor, and the iron armor is not as good as ours, and they can't stop the crossbow arrows."

Su Dingfang said affirmatively.

I had to ask again, but I heard that someone from under the city came up again.

A general, under the light of the bonfire at the head of the city, his face was dyed amber, and there were fine beads of sweat on one end.

Obviously, it took a long way to get there.

As soon as Wang Xiaojie turned his head and saw this person, he let out a strange shout: "Li ...... Li Jinxing! ”

As soon as the voice fell, he shook his shoulders, came to his palm with the big bow on his back, and opened his bow and arrow at Li Jinxing, who was striding forward, and said sharply: "Stop, who are you?" ”

Li Jinxing's footsteps froze, looked at Wang Xiaojie and said dumbfounded: "Wang Erlang, it's me, don't you know me?" ”

"Don't fool me, you played a good show in front of the former manager that day...... Who are you pretending to be? ”

On that day, Su Dawei and Su Qingjie had already reached a conclusion.

The one who sent the message back to Wuwei must be an impostor.

It's a pity that when I went to arrest him, I was still a step late and was buried by the other party and escaped.

In the end, I don't know if it's weird or strange.

Su Dingfang said in a loud voice at this time: "Wang Xiaojie, put away the bow and arrows, this is the real Li Jinxing." ”

The chief manager spoke, although Wang Xiaojie had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Only stupidly pointed the bow and arrow diagonally to the ground, but still did not let go, obviously still a little wary.

Li Jinxing said with a smile: "I heard about that incident, it wasn't me, when I arrived at the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, I was left by Pei Duhu, and another letter in my arms was sent to my deputy Gao Kanglian to the Jiuquan Grand Governor."

I have been working under Pei Duhu during this time, and there are many people who can testify. ”

"Really?"

Wang Xiaojie frowned slightly, and glanced sideways at Su Dingfang's expression.

Seeing Su Dingfang caressing his beard and head, he lifted the bow on his back.

"In this way, the Tibetans have found a good time...... Ah, that Tibetan spy is a bit powerful. ”

"We'll talk about that later."

Li Jinxing crossed his hand to Su Dingfang and said: "The last general, Wang Fangyi, the Dunhuang guard, will return to the general manager and win a great victory in Dunhuang." ”

"How's it going?"

"In the battle of Dunhuang City, a total of 6,000 enemies were killed, and the Tubo generals were seriously injured."

"Not bad!"

Su Dingfang's eyebrows raised: "In the direction of Dunhuang, the Tubo people also have tens of thousands of soldiers, killing 6,000, which is also considered to be a wound to the muscles and bones, although it is not more than caught, but it is also a credit to hurt him." ”

Li Jinxing said with some regret: "There are a few very strange heads in their army, and one of them seems to be called Shibrah, who blocked a shot for Siduo.

In the end, this weirdness was shot by General Wang Fangyi.

It's a pity that more than the situation was taken advantage of to escape. ”

"I saw the battle report sent back by the flying eagle before, saying that the Broken Dragon Stone was fallen, the inner and outer cities were cut off, and the Tubo Department was trapped in the urn city, which is more than also among them, how did he escape?"

"Several of his team are not afraid of death, and they use their claws to cut through the outer city gates, and finally bear more than they escape."

Li Jinxing said regretfully: "We don't have many strangers in our hands, and we have more than enough defense, and we can't pursue it." ”

Wang Xiaojie said on the side: "There are too many weirdness in this Tubo army, there are so many weird people in Wuwei, in Dunhuang, there are so many weirdness." ”

Su Dingfang's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was contemplating.

"In the direction of Wuwei, the Tubo people use fewer soldiers, and Dunhuang has more than 10,000 soldiers, which is more weird. According to the military report in Guazhou, there were 30,000 soldiers in the invasion of Tibet...... It's weird, but it's not much.

Pei Xingjian's department had the largest number of enemy soldiers, with about 50,000 troops. ”

Listening to Su Dingfang's words, Li Jinxing asked tentatively: "Chief, the Tubo people heard that there are 400,000 troops, and now they add up to 100,000, and there are 300,000, is that ......?"

"That's not how it works."

Su Dingfang turned to the direction of the city wall, looked at the sky and said: "Although the Tubo people have 400,000 soldiers, these 400,000 are relatively close to thieves. ”

"Rogue?"

Li Jinxing chewed on the word at the same time as Wang Xiaojie.

"Is it like those grass-headed kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty?"

"There are also strong troops under the Caotou King, and they are said to be thieves, because these 400,000 people are made up of various tribes in the snowy region, such as Zhangxiong, Bailanqiang and other tribes.

In times of war, it is the old and young women and children who go together, and migrate with the tribe's cattle, horses, tents, and tents. ”

Su Dingfang patted the cold city bricks: "Back then, when I was in Wuhai, I broke the 80,000 deputy ministers of Tubo with a thousand Tang cavalry, that is, among these 80,000 people, there were only 20,000 truly elite soldiers.

Those miscellaneous soldiers, in real combat, not only can not enhance their strength, but are a kind of drag.

After I led the cavalry to rush in and disturb the trouble, they trampled on each other, dead and wounded.

I swung my army to smash the Yellow Dragon, and the ranks of the Tubo people collapsed. ”

Coming back to his senses from his memories, Su Dingfang concluded: "Calling 400,000 people, in fact, the real soldiers are only more than 100,000, and the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers can fight a good battle, but if you want to gnaw hard bones, it is insufficient."

This time, the Tubo people lost 2,300 soldiers in Wuwei, 6,000 soldiers under Dunhuang City, 10,000 soldiers in Guazhou, and 10,000 soldiers under Pei Xingjian in Anxi.

It's a traumatic blow.

In a short period of time, they will not have the strength to launch a truly threatening attack on the Anxi Line, so we can only be careful to beware of the spies and tricks of the Tibetans. ”

Hearing Su Dingfang's judgment, Li Jinxing and Wang Xiaojie cheered at the same time: "Datang Wansheng!" ”

It's a big victory, it's a real victory.

Since Tubo dominated the plateau, conquered the east and the west, and fought in the south and the north, in the past few decades, except for a loss in Wuhai, it has not tasted a defeat.

This time, the battle line was stretched to thousands of miles long, from the vast Anxi Daduhu to Zhangye, Jiuquan, Wuwei and other places in the Zhang Empire, the Tubo people tried their best to spread their nets on all sides and attack at multiple points, but they hit their heads on the hard stone slabs and broke their heads.

For the Tubo people who had just annexed Tuyuhun and were arrogant, it was tantamount to being slapped in the face by the Tang Dynasty.

"The chief manager, the former chief manager of Su, with 3,000 people, can it be done?"

Wang Xiaojie raised a question in his heart.

Su Dingfang glanced at him deeply, and the corners of his mouth provoked an unfathomable smile.

……

"Su Qingjie, Li Wei, Cheng Wuting, and Wang Xuance led troops to defend Guazhou for Ashina Daozhen. Lou Shide, Wang Xiaojie, Sha Zha Xiangru, Hei Tooth Changzhi, Cui Qi and others will defend Wuwei Liangzhou. Wang Fangyi and Li Jinxing and other generals defended Dunhuang. Most of the guards Pei Xingjian sit in Anxi. ”

On the top of the mountain, facing the rising sunshine, Su Dawei said with great pride: "The power of the Tang Dynasty is as powerful as the sky, and the advantages of this soldier are unprecedented." ”

An Wensheng patted the neck of the sweaty mare under his crotch on the side, and sighed to him with a side face: "I only care, when will we be able to cross the Dafei River, and when will we have food." ”

"Wensheng, don't patronize and eat, help me think about how to get rid of the chasing soldiers of the Tubo people behind me."

Su Dawei looked back.

His gaze crossed the Tang army team that was like a long snake in the mountain road, and was cast to the end of heaven and earth.

As if there, I saw something dangerous, and my pupils shrank.

"You found out?"

An Wensheng glanced at him and looked back, only to see a vast world and a vast mist.
