After Yang Tong gave the battle order, the Sui army camp was in full swing, preparing for the expedition.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Fubao took a map and briefly introduced the topography of Doma to Yang Tong: "Shengshang, Doma Canyon is a grassland that is fifty miles long from north to south, and the interesting thing is that the middle is large, the two ends are small, and the middle is more than twenty miles wide, and after extending for ten miles, it begins to shrink to both ends, and the narrowest part of the whole canyon is about four miles, which is where our big camp is located." The town of Doma is in the middle, about fifteen miles away from us in the far north, and more than twenty miles away from the Tibetan camp. ”

"What's going on in Doma Town?" Yang Tong asked.

"Doma Town is in a chaotic situation, with a total number of less than 60,000, and there are more than 20 Qiang, Di, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, and Tiele tribes living in it, they live a fishing, hunting and nomadic life, fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years, and under the mutual balance and constraint, no one can destroy anyone." Wang Fubao said funny.

"Is there any such thing as going south and going north to loot?" Generally speaking, the people who live in the two places are fierce and full of banditry, and there are all kinds of people, since ancient times, Yang Tong does not believe that these tribes are good people who keep to themselves.

As Yang Tong expected, Wang Fubao nodded and said: "When the last general came, there were still four tribes that gathered more than 3,000 young people to the north to ransack, and at the request of the local herdsmen, the last general sent troops to annihilate them. According to the herdsmen of Heyuan, since Tuyuhun was destroyed by the first emperor, although the four counties of Heyuan, Xihai, Shanshan, and the end of the four counties were set up, but because of the civil strife, the four counties were in vain, and the government decree did not go out of the city, and the four counties could not be controlled at all, and it was very remote here, and it was a long-term chaos without official management and the law of the jungle. ”

Yang Tong nodded slightly, the Sui Dynasty used to have weak rule over the four counties of Qinghai, so that Murong Fuyun, who was like a lost dog, could easily recapture, and it was also because he adopted the policy of first outside and then inside, and fed war with war, which scared Murong Fuyun away, if it was more than ten years, I am afraid that Tuyuhun ruled by Murong Fuyun would rise rapidly to become the overlord of the Western Regions as in history.

"Not bad." Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Weichen also heard that the herdsmen in the vicinity are often poisoned by Doma Town, and no one dares to graze in the grassland within a radius of 100 miles. ”

Yang Tong nodded and said: "Okay, Lao Niu, the two of you will lead the 30,000 soldiers of the First Army to destroy the obstacle of Doma Town, and then bring the cattle and sheep materials as military salaries." ”

"The last will obey."

"The two generals don't fight too hard, especially when the cattle and sheep are driven, be sure to let the Tibetan scouts see it." Du Ruhui added with a smile: "Doma Town is full of banditry, and it should have accumulated a lot of wealth by looting the surrounding departments for many years. Take livestock as an example, according to the calculation of five heads per person, there are at least 250,000 livestock in the whole town, and in the face of this amazing wealth, even if Kohl is not moved, the tribal leaders under his command will definitely let him send troops, which gives our army a chance to break the enemy. ”

"Whoa." The second general answered loudly.

"In the snowstorm, the power of the crossbow is greatly reduced, and if Tubo sends troops, it will be a tough battle without any fancy to play." Yang Tong's gaze turned from the snowflakes swept by the strong wind to Wang Fubao: "General Wang, is there a problem with the officers and men of the Ninth Army?" ”

Wang Fubao worked hard to form the Ninth Army of the Great Sui, but since the establishment of the Ninth Army, they have not fought any decent wars, in order to defend against the Tang Army and Tuyuhun, they can not participate in the civil war at all, and finally got this opportunity, up to Wang Fubao, down to ordinary soldiers, everyone is holding their breath, everyone wants to fight a beautiful battle, in the name of the Ninth Army. If he didn't give this opportunity to the Ninth Army, Yang Tong himself felt unfair and indebted.

"Of course there is no problem, if Cole gathers 50,000 troops to the north, the last general will definitely kill him." Wang Fubao laughed loudly, he was not afraid of how many troops the enemy had, how strong it was, the only thing he was afraid of was that there was no battle, and when he saw Yang Tong handing over this task to him, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Xingyan, Lao Niu, after the two of you destroyed Doma Town, divide 20,000 soldiers into the rear army of the Ninth Army." Yang Tong said again.

"Whoa."

"Holy order!" The generals couldn't wait.

"The First Army attacked, the Ninth Army fought." Yang Tong shouted. If the battle of Jishiguan only cut a few taels of meat in Tibet, this time it hit the key point of Tibet, after this battle, the Sui army occupying the main road of Doma will be in the initiative of the war, and can arbitrarily set troops in all parts of Tibet.

In an instant, the three gates of Nanying were opened, and the 30,000 army rushed towards Doma Town with the momentum of arrows.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sentry they sent found that when the Sui army braved the heavy wind and snow to go south, the Sui army had been killed less than five miles north of the town, and everyone was in a big risk, and hurriedly sounded the alarm horn.

"The Sui army is here!"

The shepherdesss who was grazing in the steppes of the valley was pale, her body trembled, and she closed her eyes in resignation.

"Boom ......"

An earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves rushed past the sheep, without even looking at the shepherdess.

After a long time, the shepherdess opened their eyes and looked at the Great Sui cavalry who rushed to the tent group with a frightened face, not knowing whether to rejoice or cry angrily. In this war, I am afraid that the most innocent people are these people in Doma Town! But the herdsmen in the north and south who were looted by them before were not innocent ordinary herdsmen, but they did not coexist with each other because of the innocence of the other party.

Although the Doma tribes were very nervous, because the north and south had been ignoring them, they gradually fell into the laxity of "the wolf is coming", and now they have been warned, but it is too late to scale up, and they are soon directly penetrated into the town full of camp tents by the Great Sui Iron Cavalry.

"Kill!"

Pei Xingyan took the lead, led 300 personal guards, and rushed straight to the Doma cavalry that had just gathered about 1,000 people, and the two sides immediately fought in one place.

Subsequently, a large number of Great Sui cavalry killed, a small group of Doma cavalry saw the overwhelming Great Sui Iron Cavalry, and couldn't help but chill in their hearts, their whole town population added up to less than 60,000 people, because of the perennial looting of others, resulting in the decline of youth, the hastily formed Doma coalition army is only about 10,000 people, go up and fight with the huge, fierce and brutal Sui army, I am afraid that it is a part of death, at the moment this coalition army did not hesitate to turn around and flee.

However, when this group of cavalry turned around, the other coalition forces followed suit, and the Great Sui Iron Cavalry behind them straddled the horse to chase and kill, even though some of the cavalry who were not weak fought back, but they were also blocked by the rout, unable to move.

This brought the soldiers of the two mentalities together, and were chased and killed by the outnumbered and brave soldiers of the First Army, who kept cutting down these young Dorma who had been doing evil for many years.

。。。。。。。。。。

Just when the Sui army was eliminating harm for the people, Ronkoer patrolled the northern camp surrounded by hundreds of generals.

The Tubo camp is stationed at the mouth of the south valley of the Doma Valley and the west bank of the Yellow River, more than 30 miles away from the Sui army camp, the structure of concentric circles radiates outward, the outermost circle is the subi, vassal state, Pengyu, Dangxiang, Bailanqiang and other tribes conquered by Tubo, the middle circle is the army of the Tubo tribe, and the innermost is the headquarters of the commander on the Koll, and the core is his big tent.

In addition to people, there are more than 500,000 cattle and sheep in Tubo, only thirty percent are from the Tubo headquarters, and seventy percent are Tuyuhun and Subi, vassal state, Pengyu, Dangxiang, and Bailanqiang.

The whole camp did not have a camp wall and a barracks, but he sent 5,000 soldiers to patrol the valley day and night.

If it was in the endless prairie, this patrol-based defense system would naturally not have a problem, and the grassland had enough wilderness for them to camp, so in order to prevent fires in the wind, they spread the military camp very widely, and the distance between the big tent and the big tent was very far, even if a big tent caught fire, the wind would not sweep the flames to the surrounding big tent. Another advantage is that it is convenient to travel, and once the enemy army is attacking, cavalry can be provided everywhere to walk, and there will be no chaos.

But this style of cloth camp cannot be arranged in mountainous areas with complex terrain.

Because the Domana Valley was not only flat and small, but also bordered by the Yellow River and its tributary, the Requ River, they had to reduce the size of the camp so that the Great Horde and the Great Horde were closely connected. Moreover, they did not have the camp technology of the Central Plains army, so they could only strengthen the original defense system, and the most direct way was to double the patrol posts, increasing the number of people from the original 1,000 to 5,000, and focusing on the defense of the open Doma Valley, which effectively guaranteed the safety of the camp.

On Keduo's ability to become a coach of one side, it is not due to the identity of Langri Zampu's own brother, but because he has rapidly grown into a rare general in Tibet during his many years of military career.

He knew that his army was like a lasso, having successfully lassoed the Sui army, and they had to fight him as soon as possible in order to withdraw from the plateau before the arrival of midwinter, otherwise they would be frozen to death by the weather that had not landed on the ground and turned into ice; On his side, as long as he dragged the Sui army into the cold winter, he would have a chance to break the enemy.

But nothing is perfect, and although Cole's plan is steady, most of the generals under his command do not approve of it. Because there is a tribe behind each general, the reason why they raised the army to fight is because they fancy the wealth of the Central Plains, but on Keer did not dare to fight with the Sui army of only 30,000, but kept everyone in the camp like cattle and sheep, so that everyone was quite dissatisfied, the key is that Lu Dongzan's 70,000 army is coming, if they participate in the war, after the war, they will lose at least half of their wealth.

And looking at these generals who are constantly asking for battle, it is annoying to talk about Cors. Although he has a strong personality, he is not a reckless man who does not know politics, and of course he knows the true intentions of these generals.

There were more than 10 large and small countries on the Tubo Plateau before, countless tribes, Langri Zampu spent several years in the south and north to conquer the plateau, conquered and destroyed the tribes of these countries one by one, and created the prosperous Tubo Kingdom, many of the previous tribal leaders have also become the nobles and generals of Tubo, Langri Zampu then lured these people to assist him in attacking the four fields with the advantage of war, and the whole army was invincible, but the beast is still a beast in the end, and even the enemy does not know what it is like to eat alone.

But Kohl also knows that it is difficult to make a mistake in public anger, otherwise these generals who can't get benefits think that he is biased towards the 70,000 elite soldiers led by Lu Dongzan, and they will soon turn against him.

The current blizzard may be a godsend for troops.

"General!" At this moment, a soldier hurried and said, "The scout has come to report that the Sui army has sent 30,000 troops to slaughter Doma Town, and they are collecting the livestock of Doma Town. ”

Rumble!

There was an uproar on the shore of the Yellow River.

It's a godsend.

"General, Doma has hundreds of thousands of cattle, and they must not fall into the hands of the Sui army."

"Yes, General, the Sui army has 30,000 troops, and after their group of barbarians destroy Doma Town, they will definitely drive the cattle and sheep back to the camp, and the sheep will be slow, and they will definitely slow down their speed, and we can just cover up from behind......"

The generals' eyes sparkled and they asked for battle.

One will say. "General, the strongest weapon of the Sui army is the crossbow, and the crossbow is the nemesis of the cavalry. So this is a good opportunity for us to disappear the Sui army and break into the source of the river. ”

"What General Meng said is extremely true." The deputy general Saxi stood up and saluted to Ronkoer: "The general of the Sui army, Wang Fubao, knows that our army has 50,000 people, but he still goes out, obviously he can't stand the snowstorm on the plateau, so he wants to fight quickly, which just gives us the opportunity to catch it all, as long as this army is annihilated, the road to the north will suddenly be opened, and the advantage of Jishi Pass will no longer exist, and the last general is willing to lead the army to meet the battle." ”

"Quasi, go with your 20,000 troops to the Domanan Valley to defeat the enemy, and I will lead 30,000 troops to come later." On Cole looked at the generals and said, "Generals, if you win this battle, the cattle, sheep, and women in Heyuan will be everyone's." Please do your best. ”

"The last general commands." The generals will receive their orders in high spirits.

Someone asked. "General, where's the one from Doma?"

Facing a pair of greedy eyes, Cole faintly promised: "That's everyone's first wealth." ”

"The general is mighty." The generals screamed with excitement.

"I'll talk about the ugly things first, please remember it for me......" Looking at these generals who were about to move, Col said coldly: "Before sending troops, you must restrain your children and soldiers, and you must not steal livestock before the end of the war." Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree. ”

"Yes." The generals knew that Colle was the same, and their hearts were awe-struck, and their excitement faded a lot.

"After the end of the war, the heads of the Sui soldiers were exchanged for livestock, understand?"

"Understood."

"Let's go."
