Chapter 255: Pants off
Godarman was very depressed, very depressed, why did it suddenly snow, and it was so heavy that he couldn't capture Songzhou City, and the grain and grass team had not arrived for a long time, he thought that the grain and grass team must have been hindered by the heavy snow, and now he had no choice but to retreat.
After several battles with the Tang army, there were only more than 32,000 people left in the 50,000 army of Tubo, and the Tang army in Songzhou City was not good, and lost more than 15,000 people.
The heavy snow has not completely melted, the Tibetan army marched very slowly, ten days later, arrived at the Gansong Ridge, Li Hao was expected to help from a distance, and found the arrival of the enemy army from afar, set up a net, and waited for the Tibetan army to enter the set.
Goddalman was also a veteran of the battlefield and was particularly cautious, and although the Jansson Ridge was not a high mountain, the terrain was dangerous, making it an excellent place for ambushes, and he sent two scouts to explore the way.
However, this is not difficult for Li Hao, Li Hao has long expected that he has this hand, all of them are hiding in the pine forest of Qiansongpo, and they will not be exposed at all, all the Tubo prisoners are tied up like zongzi, and their mouths are tightly stuffed, in case they scream and expose their tracks.
Godarman led the army into the Gansong Ridge slowly, for the sake of safety, he did not take the flat road, but chose to climb over the mountain, although the road will be more difficult to walk, but so safe, but into the second half, the mountain road is broken, can only change the official road, especially the section of Qiansong Slope, can only go from the official road under the slope.
When Godarman passed by the foot of the Thousand Pine Slope, Li Hao suddenly shouted: "Kill! He shot the crossbow very accurately, but he couldn't shoot the bow, so he could only shoot into the crowd, depending on who was unlucky.
A large number of military horses suddenly poured out on the slopes on both sides, shooting indiscriminately at the bottom of the hillside, and many rolling wooden bones rolled down, smashing the Tubo soldiers on their backs, and even cut the Tubo army into two sections, the Tubo army suddenly made a mess, Goddarman was taken aback, shouted repeatedly, and wanted to organize a counterattack.
How could Li Hao let him get his wish, and suddenly shouted: "Set fire!" ”
I saw that the Tang army threw wine jugs into the Tubo army, each wine jug was the size of a watermelon, and these wine jugs were either alcohol or fire oil, and the smell of alcohol and fire oil was suddenly all over the ground, Goddalman smelled this pungent smell, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he drank in Tubo again, anyway, he couldn't understand what he was calling.
At this time, the Tang army had already begun to shoot rockets in the formation, and countless rockets entered the formation, and suddenly a fire broke out, even if there was snow and water on the snow, it could not prevent the spread of the fire, and the oil and alcohol could burn as well floating on the water.
The Tibetan army was able to resist one or two at first, but the fire was together, and it suddenly became a pot of porridge, Goddaman had already fled forward with nearly 20,000 horses, he knew that the army was in chaos, and he would definitely be defeated, and if he stayed, he would only be wiped out, and he had to flee.
The remaining more than 10,000 Tibetan troops in the rear were blocked by the fire and could not escape, Li Hao left 3,000 Mo sword soldiers to deal with these people, and then took other soldiers and horses to chase Godalman.
Chasing all the way, Godarman saw that Li Hao only had thousands of men and horses, and decided to turn back and counterattack, but the morale of the two armies was too different, the Tang army only one cavalry rushed into battle, and the Tubo army formation was chaotic, the Tang cavalry was invincible in the world, and the 7,000 Tang army was as brave as a tiger, killing 20,000 Tubo troops in all directions, Goddaman finally knew that there was nothing to do, and fled with the army again, and Li Hao continued to lead people to chase in the rear.
Gansong Ridge is less than 100 miles long, the two sides chase and catch up, then out of Gansong Ridge, enter the territory of Bailanqiang, three days and three nights, Li Hao pursued the Tubo army for 300 miles, several bloody battles, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, has only lost more than 1,000 people, the Tubo army has long been defeated, fled into the plateau.
Seeing that there were only 8,000 Tubo troops left to enter the plateau, Li Hao stopped the army and ordered to withdraw, everyone was very puzzled, seeing that they could completely annihilate the enemy army if they chased it down, and even captured the local commander, which was a great achievement, but Li Hao knew that when he entered the plateau, there would be altitude sickness, and he personally understood that the feeling of powerlessness caused by lack of oxygen was beyond human power to resist, in case of going deep into the plateau, altitude sickness was serious, and the whole army would be wiped out at that time.
Li Hao led the army back along the original road, five days later, returned to Qiansongpo, the battle here has long been over, counting the results, a total of 15,000 enemy troops were annihilated, 7,000 prisoners were captured, and a great victory.
Li Hao was very happy, and ordered to trim for a day, just now the weather is slightly warmer, and the snow has melted away, the next morning, Li Hao led the army to escort the prisoners and grain and grass, and rushed to Songzhou City.
Seven days later, Li Hao led the army to the city of Songzhou, this time their team was obviously much larger, after all, there were so many more grain and grass and more than 8,000 Tibetan prisoners.
When the city guard sent a message to tell Hou Junji that Li Hao returned with the army and begged to enter the city outside the city, Hou Junji was angry and asked him to borrow grain, he borrowed it for more than a month before he came back, and it was not so slow to transfer grain to Chang'an, so he came to the city tower with all the guards, and when he saw Li Hao under the city, he glared and shouted: "Li Hao!" You violated military orders! Don't get off your horse quickly and tie yourself up to accept the crime! ”
Li Hao saw Hou Junji, sneered, and asked loudly: "Manager Hou, have you eaten too much, as soon as you meet, your mouth is full of feces, how did I violate the military order!" ”
Anyway, Hou Junji tore his face with himself, what is he polite, this sentence is already lightly scolded.
Hou Junji's face turned blue with anger when he heard this, his fists were clenched, his finger joints rattled, and his eyes were so fierce that he seemed to want to choose someone to devour, only to hear him grit his teeth and say fiercely: "Ben Shuai asked you to go to Railzhou to borrow grain and grass, why did you return after a month, do you know, you delayed the major event of the military formation, and Songzhou City was almost lost because of you!" ”
"Humph!" Li Hao snorted coldly, "Manager Hou, if Songzhou is lost, I can only blame you, Hugh wants to pour dirty water on me!" Songzhou City obviously has plenty of grain and grass! Why did General Manager Hou let me go to Railzhou to borrow grain! ”
Hou Junji glared and asked, "Which eye did you see that Songzhou had enough grain and grass?" ”
"Really?" Li Hao asked, "Then after I left, did Chief Manager Hou requisition grain and grass?" ”
Hou Junji was stunned when he heard this, and was immediately speechless, the requisition of grain and grass was recorded, and he couldn't lie, he naturally had nothing to say, Li Hao sneered when he saw this: "It's been more than a month, and the chief manager of Hou has not requisitioned food, is it possible that in this month, the chief manager of Hou has been hiding in the city and eating?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Hou Junji was furious when he heard this, and snatched a spear from the hand of a city guard, and threw it at Li Hao.
Jin Li and Zhu Ruihuan immediately drove up and blocked in front of Li Hao, Zhu Ruihuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear, the tip of the spear was only half a foot away from Li Hao's chest, which was extremely thrilling, but Li Hao did not move, and even his expression did not change a bit.
Zhu Ruihuan and Jin Lifu retreated again and stayed beside Li Hao, Li Hao slowly took two steps forward and said coldly: "Manager Hou, don't talk nonsense, open the city gate quickly, this manager wants to enter the city!" ”
"Don't think!" Hou Junji shouted coldly, "You neglect military orders, delay the fighter plane, the crime is unforgivable, this commander must report to the emperor and punish you severely!" ”
At this moment, Niu Jinda, Zhi Zhi Sili and Liu Lan, the prison army, also boarded the city tower, and they heard that Li Hao was back, so they naturally wanted to come and see.
"Hehe, it's terrible to be ignorant." Li Hao sneered and shook his head, then slowly raised his head and said proudly, "Chief Manager Hou, you listen well, this governor was ordered by your military to go to Railzhou to borrow grain, Kouzhongtang, the governor of Railzhou, said that there was no surplus grain in Railzhou, and he refused to borrow grain. He pointed to the rear as he spoke, and sure enough, he saw many ox carts and carriages in the rear, although they were all covered with cloth curtains, but it was expected that Li Hao would not dare to lie before the military formation, and everyone was very surprised.
At this time, Li Hao continued: "After the governor robbed the Tubo grain and grass, he wanted to return to Songzhou, but was hindered by the heavy snow, and after the heavy snow, he encountered the retreat of the Tubo army, and the chief led the troops to rob and kill the Tubo army, pursued more than 300 miles, and won a complete victory, a total of 10,000 enemies and 5,000 people, and more than 8,000 prisoners. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the city was shocked, and Hou Junji found that Li Hao's team was indeed more than 10,000 people, and there were seven or eight thousand people in the middle part who were obviously dressed differently from the Tang army, and they should be prisoners of Tubo, and the cavalry horses in the front row of the army array had human heads hanging around their necks, more than a dozen, and as few as one or two.
Hou Junji was stunned there, dumbfounded, as if he had swallowed an egg raw, and was speechless for a long time, Niu Jinda shouted excitedly: "Big victory, this is a big victory!" ”
Liu Lan nodded happily and said: "Li Shimad, worthy of being my Tang Dynasty hero, this time the Tubo army is like a lost dog, really raise my Tang Dynasty prestige, General Manager Hou, open the city gate quickly." ”
Hou Junji was helpless, Li Hao had made such a great achievement, what else could he say, he could only reluctantly order to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and let Li Hao's army enter the city, and he must also take everyone out of the city to greet him.
Hou Junji led everyone to greet Li Hao in front of the suspension bridge, Li Hao turned over and got off the lion's skull, bowed to them, everyone returned the salute, Niu Jinda handed a letter to Li Hao, and said: "Li Shimai, this is a letter sent by the captain of your family." ”
"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and took the envelope, but found that the letter had been opened, and immediately frowned, "Why has my family letter been opened?" ”
Niu Jinda was embarrassed when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Hou Junji, who knew that he couldn't hide it, and said coldly: "It was demolished by Ben Shuai." ”
Li Hao's eyebrows tightened when he heard this, and he was not in a hurry to quarrel with him first, because he saw Lu Yun's private poke on the beeswax, and the letter sent by Lu Yun must have something big, so he quickly took out the letter and looked at it.
After reading it, he instantly captured the key point in this letter, the assassination of Wu Meiniang failed, and a master blocked it, the situation greatly surprised him, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if Lu Yun did not write the letter in this secret way, then if this letter was seen by Hou Junji, his fate can be imagined, Li Hao was suddenly very angry, if it weren't for Hou Junji still holding the position of the head of the march, he would want to give Hou Junji a big ear scraper now.
Li Haoqiang held back his anger, raised the letter paper in his hand, and sneered: "Manager Hou, you can, you can also read my family letter, why are you?" ”
Hou Junji snorted coldly: "Your ministry has suddenly arrived, and your identity is suspicious, in case there is a problem with this letter, Ben Shuai naturally wants to open it and take a look, which is reasonable." ”
"What a reasonable!" Li Hao's sneer grew, and suddenly he glared, pointed at Hou Junji's nose, and shouted, "Lao Tzu now reasonably suspects that there is no bird in your crotch, take off your pants!" ”
