Chapter 108 Committing a crime against me, although the Tang Dynasty is far away, will be punished

The autumn and winter in the northwest are unusually dry, and the vegetation of Dafeichuan is dense. However, this man-made fire is out of control.

In an instant, it turned into a sea of fire, and the smoke and flames rose up, burning from day to night, and you could clearly see it from two hundred miles away! The flames were like dragons, spreading from one mile to the next, and because the fire was so strong, it felt like the whole body was going to be roasted dry when you got a little closer.

The Tibetan cavalry had just begun to have the strength to run, but the fire on the Dafei River formed a local air convection, which was the so-called tornado, which shrouded more than 30,000 Tibetan cavalry.

This fire, burned for three days and two nights, the entire Dafeichuan grassland turned into a piece of ashes, on the fourth day when the Wei army stepped into the sea of ashes, many places actually accumulated several feet of ash wall, the wind blew through the gray wall collapsed, with the wind blowing all over the West Sea.

Even the originally blue West Sea has been drifted with a layer of soot. Some of the ashes also had dark fires hidden under them, which burned many horses' hooves. Grass ash is a good fertilizer, and this grassland may grow even more fertile in the coming year, but at this moment, a hundred miles away has become a dead and silent world after the fierce flames.

Under the leadership of Liu Tong and Xunxiang, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army rode into this Dafeichuan. In this fire, the Tubo people who were really burned to death were actually not too many, only about one-third, most of them were not trampled on each other, of course, most of them were killed by smoke.

Liu Tong came to a place that was not burned by the fire, the Tubo people saw that they could not escape, so they frantically cut the grass, they cut out a large open space, here became the only place in Dafeichuan that was not on fire, everyone was greedy for life, failed to escape, and the Tubo soldiers who were not dead for a while instinctively rushed to this fireless place, a range the size of a football field, enough to gather tens of thousands of people, but they avoided the fire, but could not avoid the smoke, the fire burned to the extreme, the smoke smoked, and hundreds of people were smoked to death here.

Most of the people who died here did not have a single wound on their bodies, and even their clothes were not very damaged, but the layers were dense, and tens of thousands of corpses were piled up in one place like stacks of arhats, which made those who saw it shudder.

Even if these Tubo people still have armor, knives and guns, and maybe some money on them, Liu Tong or Xiang Xun don't want to disturb these Tubo people who are sleeping here.

When Dongben Zengren and Dongpu Qiandaang led thousands of Tibetan cavalry to hear the news, they also couldn't care about Liangzhou City and hurriedly returned. As they passed by this huge mountain of dead bodies, they no longer had any thoughts, only one thought in their hearts.

Flee back.

As the so-called ideal is very plump, the reality is skinny. Their retreat was not destined to be smooth, but they were greeted by the sniping of the backslaught. Of course, this sniper is not sniping with a sniper rifle, but like a sparrow war, a little east and west, and the scouts or lone people of the Tubo people are attacked.

In the battle between the Beiwei army and the Tibetans, the casualties were not large. After half a month of fighting, the Tibetan casualties were only six or seven hundred, but the blow to the troops under the command of Dongben Zengren and Dongpu Poor Daang, especially the psychological blow, was very large, so that the Tubo people did not dare to go out to reconnoitre.

Daang and Zengren combined and hurried back to Subi.

However, this retreat will not be peaceful. Every night, they will face endless blows from the Beiwei army, such as setting traps, digging thick horse traps on the flat ground, and hunting all kinds of mechanisms, all the time, the Tubo people are bleeding.

Daang and Zengren's subordinates passed through Nalu Station (Xinghai River Dam), then to Nuanquan (Hot Springs), Liemo Sea (Kara Sea), crossed the sea (along the Maduo Yellow River), crossed the Purple Mountain (Bayan Kala Mountain), and crossed the Yak River (Tongtian River) with less than 3,000 soldiers and horses.

More than 50,000 men and horses went out to fight, but now there are less than 3,000 people, not to mention the terrible thing, they have not even seen the face of the Tang people so far.

Now the Tubo army is almost stunned.

Just as the Tibetans were crossing the river with icy water, suddenly Daang screamed loudly.

Daon screamed: "Run! ”

He scrambled into the distance.

I only heard the rumbling and rumbling, and the snow on the snow in the distance, like thousands of horses, roared down.

When marching on a snowy field, the worst thing in winter is not to make a big noise, because it can cause an avalanche. In fact, it is not that Daang and Zengren are unlucky, but this avalanche, in fact, is also man-made, just like the fire in Dafeichuan.

Liu Tong found that the fire oil refined by Chen Ying, once ignited, was very easy to explode, like thunder. For this reason, he let the last 600 catties of fire oil lie in ambush on the snow-capped mountain of Tanggula Mountain. In order to create this avalanche, Liu Tong also wasted his brains.

He had the cowhide enclosed in a cowhide hut with oil and a torch tied to a thin thread. A thick incense stick is tied on a thin thread. When the lit incense burns to the position of the thin line, the thin line is burned by the incense, and then the torch above falls from the air and ignites 600 catties of sealed fire oil.

After the explosion of the oil oil, a small avalanche was formed that was more than ten miles wide. However, the avalanche of more than ten miles was enough to bury all the tragic parts under the command of Daang and Zengren alive.

The Tibetans race against avalanches. In fact, their speed could not keep up with the speed of the avalanche in any way, so one after another Tubo people were buried by the snow.

……

Plans can never catch up with change.

Chen Ying had not yet received the news of the annihilation of the 50,000 Tubo army under the command of Ruqi Zanggu, but Chen Ying was the first to receive the news that Murong Fuyun led 100,000 Tuyuhun (including the common people) plus the allied forces of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, a total of 200,000 troops besieged Gaochang City.

"His purpose is not Gaochang City!" Chen Ying snorted coldly and said, "His real purpose is Jinman County!" ”

"This ......" Su Dingfang was even more shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "He...... His goal...... Is it our food? ”

"Not bad!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Murong Fuyun will not make a move, and if he makes a move, he will pull out our roots in the Western Regions." ”

After Chen Ying arrived in the Western Regions, he reclaimed 750,000 acres of wasteland. You can get millions of stone of grain, which is more than enough to feed Chen Ying's 100,000 paces. However, it is precisely because of this. The status of Jinman County is very important.

The Hexi Corridor was about to be sealed by heavy snow, and there was no way to get supplies from the direction of Liangzhou throughout the winter, so they could only rely on new grain from Jinman County. If there is an accident in Jinman County, then Chen Ying, a lone army, does not need to fight, and will definitely be defeated by itself.

Hearing this, all the generals were all anxious: "Dadu Hu, what are you waiting for now, we must immediately return to Jinman County!" ”

Chen Ying shook his head: "No, there is no news from Ruqi Zanggu yet, once we return to Jinman County, and the Tubo people capture Liangzhou again to cut off the connection between us and the imperial court, then we will be even more passive." ”

In fact, what Chen Ying should consider was that Murong Fuyun, whom he underestimated, was only more than 500 miles from Gaochang City to Jinman County, which was a distance of three days at most for most of the cavalry in the Western Regions. I'm afraid that when Chen Ying received this urgent report, Murong Fuyun had already arrived at Jinman City.

The journey of more than 2,600 miles, even if it is returned by horse, it will take five days. It's too late.

When Zhang Shigui heard this, he immediately said urgently: "Dadu Protector, Murong Fuyun's target is Jin Man, he is not trying to defeat us, but to drive us out of the Western Regions, Jin Man City is where we are fundamental, there is no room for loss!" Although Liangzhou will be dangerous, but the Tubo people are the same as the Turks, they are not good at attacking the city, and they want to come to His Royal Highness the King of Qi can also defend the city...... That...... Then we will be surrounded by the enemy! But if we retreat to Jinman and defend the city, it is enough to resist the iron hooves of Tuyuhun, and then use the Mo Sword Formation, Hook Sickle Lancers, and Yue Cavalry Regiment to fight against Tuyuhun Ye, then even if Tuyuhun Murong Fuyun and join forces with the Western Turks, he may not be able to help us! As long as we hold the golden line, we can still wait for the opportunity in the future! ”

In fact, Zhang Shigui did not say some of the subconscious meanings of his words, Li Yuanji is the governor of Liangzhou, and Chen Ying is not. Even if the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion is wrong, the court will not be able to ask Chen Ying for accountability.

Chen Ying had a calm face, but did not agree.

Su Dingfang and Guo Xiaoke's eyes met in the air.

Guo Xiaoke said: "Dadu Hu, the last general asks for battle, please Dadu Hu to come back for help, the last general and General Su, we lead 30,000 Yue cavalry troops, and the Tubo people are here to deal with." ”

"No, although the Yue cavalry army is not weak, it is not the opponent of the Tubo people. Once we divide our troops, we will be in the hands of Ruqi Zanggu. Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Now that the golden autumn harvest has been completed, the wilderness is clear, and the grain has already entered the city!" The order of the protector of the capital of the capital: The four counties of Tingzhou are holding on to and waiting for reinforcements, and the rebel army is blocked by fortified cities. Send the surplus weapons in the treasury to the people, all villages, all tribes, and all tribes, and build forts for self-defense! Those who dare to lead the way for Tuyuhun or the rebels, the nine clans are wiped out, and the orders of the capital protection are issued to all tribes and tribes, and if they dare to follow the thieves, the capital protection will make their clans wither. Order the people of the Western Regions to kill the Tuyuhun people who are alone: kill a beard and enjoy a hundred acres of land! ”

When the generals heard this, their hearts moved.

Secretly said in my heart. Chen Ying, this is a hard fight with the clans of the Western Regions!

Chen Ying's eyes were murderous and said, "Murong Fuyun wants to come, let him come!" Because of his chance, there is only one such time! After this battle, I want to make the grass grow for thousands of miles in the open land of the Western Regions, and I want to create a thousand-year-old legend, so that Hu Er will know a truth from now on, although I am far away from the Tang Dynasty, I will be punished! ”

A biao flew and rode across the Shule River and galloped westward. They carried Chen Ying's orders and conveyed them to the ministries!

At this moment, a group of cavalry from the southeast was also galloping towards him.

Chen Ying's heart moved: "The Tubo people have finally moved!" ”

The knight on horseback shouted and cheered: "Great victory, the whole army of Ruqi Zanggu will be annihilated by the Beiwei army, and no horses will be left!"

Chen Ying's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Won.

This victory is so important.

Zhang Shigui asked timidly: "That Dadu Hu, your previous order?" ”

"It's business as usual!" Chen Ying shouted coldly: "Order all departments, in a quarter of an hour, pull out the camp and march west, let's go to Murong Yun to settle the account!" ”
