Chapter 611: Qinghai Wei Elite
Fleeing to the south to the mountain pass, Solang Gazan secretly hated that before he reached the Western Turks, he lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses at once, and he knew that the gallop plan must have failed, so he wrote a war report and sent fast horses to the city of Logo.
After sending out the battle report, Solang Jiazan looked at the peaks on both sides, and thought to himself, the soldiers and horses who ambushed him this time were extremely elite, and there were a lot of them, although he didn't see them all, but just what he saw, there were more than 20,000, these soldiers and horses, definitely not from the Anxi Protectorate, could be thought of with their feet, this is the soldiers and horses of Qinghai Guard.
Thinking of Qinghai Wei, Solang Jiazan gritted his teeth with anger, the existence of Qinghai Wei posed a huge threat to their Tubo, Qinghai Wei trained troops in the semi-plateau area, in order to invade Tubo in the future, and now Qinghai Wei is still blocking his own reinforcement army, even if Garqinling values him, it is estimated that life will not be easy after going back.
Solang Gazan thought about it for most of the night in the tooth tent, and decided to take the risk and take the opportunity to seize the Qinghai Wei base, which is the current Qinghai Acropolis.
According to his speculation, Qinghai Wei is not a lot of troops, this operation, it is very likely to be poured out, the base must be empty, as long as he can capture the Qinghai Acropolis, and at the same time let Garqinling send troops to cooperate with him, front and back, Qinghai Wei has nowhere to escape, will be able to destroy Qinghai Wei in one fell swoop, that is also a miracle work, so he wrote a letter and sent a fast horse to Luo Some City, so that Garqinling quickly sent troops to cooperate with him to destroy Qinghai Wei.
Early the next morning, Solang Gazan ordered the army to march through the mountain pass to the Qinghai Acropolis, and it was a rapid march, with only a little more than two hours of rest every night.
Solang Gazan thought that his trick was very good, and he could take the Qinghai Acropolis unknowingly, but he didn't know that Peng Hai was hanging, Peng Hai's plug-in was a telescope, Peng Hai had been following behind with Qinghai Wei not far away, observing their movements with a telescope, Peng Hai could see them, but they couldn't see Qinghai Wei.
After Peng Hai saw the direction of the march of the Tibetan army, he immediately guessed the other party's intentions, so Peng Hai sent a personal guard to ride a fast horse to the Qinghai Acropolis to report the news, and let the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Qinghai Acropolis strictly guard the city to prevent the enemy from attacking. And Peng Hai himself followed him with an army of 30,000 miles all the way.
Fast horses arrived at the city of Luo in three days, Garqin Ling received two battle reports from Solang Gazan, the first one made Garqin Ling frown, I didn't expect the news of the Tang Dynasty to be so well-informed, and there was already preparation, the army of galloping aid did not reach the Western Turks and lost nearly half, but the second letter made Garqin Ling particularly happy, this was really a good opportunity to eliminate Qinghai Wei, so he personally led 50,000 elite cavalry, quickly left Luo Qi City, to help Suo Lang Jiazan.
It took Solang Gazan six days to finally lead his troops fifty miles outside the Qinghai Acropolis, and in order to win by surprise, he waited until night to order the whole army to attack the city.
During this time, the 10,000 Qinghai guards in the city received an order from the general Peng Hai, and all of them could not sleep and disarm, and the soldiers did not leave their hands.
At night, when the rumbling sound of iron hooves quickly approached the Qinghai Acropolis, the city remembered the sound of whining trumpets, and then heard the sentry on the sentry tower in the city shouting: "Enemy attack!" There is an enemy attacking the city! ”
All the soldiers rushed out of their quarters with their swords and shields, and rushed to the top of the city walls, and when Solangazan led the army to rush to the bottom of the city, he was dumbfounded, only to see that the city was densely packed with defenders, at least 10,000 people.
Although Solangazan has more than 20,000 people, if he wants to capture this tall and strong city, he will need to have four times the opponent's troops, and even then, it is estimated that it will be a hard battle, but now the disparity in strength does not seem to be so big, can he not be dumbfounded?
Peng Hai has always been cautious in the use of troops, this mission, he did not consider the whole army to dispatch, but out of prudence, he still left 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, he is confident in the strength of Qinghai Wei, with this 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, even if the enemy sends 100,000 soldiers and horses, it can hold on for three days, three days, enough nearby troops to come to support.
At this moment, Peng Hai led the army to stand forty miles away from the rear, using a telescope to check the situation on the side of the Qinghai Acropolis, although his telescope did not have the effect of night vision, but with the help of the fire above and below the city, he could vaguely see that the two sides were not at war, and it seemed to be in a stalemate.
"Let's go! We take the initiative! Peng Hai gave an order, and the army slowly moved towards the Qinghai Acropolis.
Solang Gazan paced back and forth in the temporary military tent under the city, his brows furrowed, he miscalculated, he didn't expect that Qinghai Wei still had 10,000 people left to defend the city, and he was so vigilant that he didn't even give him the opportunity to attack, now in this situation, he must not be able to attack, he is thinking about a way out, he is unwilling to go back like this.
However, he thought about it for a long time, and did not think of any way, this is simply an unsolvable problem, although he was unwilling, but he still had no choice but to order, the whole army retreated, back to some cities.
However, as soon as he walked back more than ten miles with the army, he saw countless torches rushing in front of him, and then a scout with three feathered arrows on his body galloped wildly, and when he got closer, he dismounted and wailed: "Such a handsome! Those Don troops who attacked us in the city of Ixun...... It's back! ”
The scout spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
Solangazan hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone put out the torches and turn south!" Avoid the Don Army! So he quickly turned around with his army and headed south.
However, it was already too late, Peng Hai had already sent a large number of scouts to wander around them, even if they extinguished the torches and turned the direction, but they had more than 20,000 people, all of them were cavalry, and the sound of horses' hooves when more than 20,000 cavalry walked could be heard four or five miles away, and the moonlight was good tonight, and the vast land was shrouded in a layer of silver glow by the moonlight, even if they were far away, the scouts could see a large number of troops moving quickly southward, like a school of migrating fish in the sea, and like a drifting dark cloud.
The scouts of the Qinghai Guard followed closely with the Tibetan army, and at regular intervals they released a ringing arrow into the air, which burst into brilliant colors in the sky, causing great pressure on Solang Gazan.
After the three arrows, Solang Gazan turned his head to look behind with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Obiluo, you quickly lead five hundred light horsemen, go back and kill all the Tang army scouts, and after the matter is completed, flee separately from the army, and maybe lead away from the Tang army's pursuit." ”
"Yes!" Obira took the order and departed from the army with five hundred light cavalry, and scattered towards the rear.
In order to track the traces of the Tibetan army, Peng Hai sent more than 100 scouts, and these more than 100 scouts were scattered and chased behind the Tibetan army in an arc, like the most ferocious wolf on the grassland, staring at the Tibetan army.
Naturally, Obira also knew that the Tang army's scouts were scattered, so after his cavalry left the army, they also dispersed, like an unfolded folding fan, rushing towards the Tang army's scouts.
The moonlight was bright, and Peng Hai's army also extinguished the torches, like a giant beast, quickly chasing towards the Tubo army, Peng Hai saw with a telescope that there were cavalry rushing to Qinghai Wei scouts under the moonlight, and immediately frowned, put down the binoculars, and shouted loudly: "Guan Hong!" The enemy army has sent hundreds of cavalry to kill our scouts, you take the Flying Tigers to rush to help! ”
"Yes!" When Guan Hong heard this, he raised his big knife and shouted in a deep voice, "Flying Tigers, come with so-and-so!" After that, he kicked the horse's belly violently, and the crowd came out, and many cavalry in the rear also galloped one after another, following him closely, there were two hundred people, these two hundred people, they are the elite of Qinghai Weizhong, and they are also an elite team that Li Hao specially explained to be trained, they are the special combat team of Qinghai Weizhong, and the training requirements are even harsher than Li Hao's special combat team, and the two hundred horses they rode are all the best horses that Li Hao spent a lot of effort to collect, and each of them is a BMW that travels thousands of miles a day.
Although the cavalry led by Oro Luo was scattered, there were five hundred of them after all, and after separation, they were five or six people together, or a dozen people together, while the scouts of Qinghai Wei generally acted together in two people, and the number of people was very different.
Soon, the Tubo cavalry encountered the Tang scouts and began to fight, but things did not go as smoothly as Oro imagined, but anyone who could be a scout in Qinghai Wei was the elite of the elite, that is, the scouts of the future world, whether it was horses or combat power, they were second to none in Qinghai Wei, because they were selected from the Qinghai Wei special combat team.
The first to encounter the scouts was an eight-man squad of Tibetan light cavalry, who, believing they had the numerical advantage, rushed towards the two scouts brandishing maces and all sorts of strange weapons.
The two scouts glanced at each other, and drove their horses apart with each other, and then kicked the horse's belly and rushed towards the Tubo cavalry.
The luck of this Tubo cavalry squad was not very good, because the two Qinghai guard scouts they encountered, one was the scout captain, called Li Mo, and the other was called Yan Kuan, and their strength was at the bottom of the scouts, and it was precisely because Yan Kuan was weak that they were assigned to a group with Li Mo.
Li Mo is taciturn, but in Qinghai Wei, no one dares to provoke him, he has grown from a pawn to the elite of Qinghai Wei, only after a few years, he does not have too high martial arts, but there is a ruthlessness that ordinary people cannot match, he is not only fierce to the enemy, but also very ruthless to himself, over the years, he has nearly doubled the time spent practicing martial arts and training than others, and his strength is naturally obvious to everyone, so he is respected by many comrades-in-arms in Qinghai Wei.
The upper edge of the shield in Li Mo's left hand is level with the tip of his nose, so that the shield can not only play a protective role, but also not block the line of sight, and be flexible, which is the basic action of Qinghai Wei's shield training.
"Die!" Li Mo let out a deep sigh, and his face instantly became hideous, because he had already fought with the Tubo cavalry.
In the face of the combined attack of the three Tibetan cavalry, Li Mo raised his shield to block the mace of one of the cavalrymen, and waved the sword horizontally in his right hand, the usual strength training finally took effect, dancing the long soldier with one hand, which requires a lot of strength, ordinary people can't do it at all, but Qinghai Wei can do it, and Li Mo is still the elite of Qinghai Wei, for this kind of operation, he feels as simple as eating.
"When! While! Two rapid weapons collided, Li Mo danced the knife faster than the enemy's hands with one hand, not only blocked the enemy's weapons, but also counterattacked with a knife, directly cutting one of them off the horse, while the other person, whose wrist was cut off, screamed miserably.
On the other side, Yan Kuan also responded calmly to the enemy, killing two Tubo cavalry at once, but he himself was hit, and was stabbed in the back, but fortunately he didn't hit the vital point, although the iron shield can block many attacks, but when the enemy is more than one, there will always be a flaw in the back, and the iron shield can only block most of the attacks in front of him, not the golden bell jar.
Yan Kuan was injured, and was besieged by two people, it was a little difficult to parry for a while, Li Mo smashed the head of a Tubo cavalry with an iron shield, and directly threw the iron shield out, the round iron shield drew a perfect arc, just hit a Tubo cavalryman, the Tubo cavalry's waist was directly cut in half by the edge of the iron shield, and a large area of internal organs flowed out, and then fell to the ground and wailed.
Only ten seconds of fighting, only two of the eight cavalry left, the one who was cut off had already ridden away on horseback, although Li Mo had no shield, but in terms of heads-up, this Tubo soldier was not his opponent, and he was cut off the horse in two moves, Yan Kuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and attacked the last Tubo cavalry with a knife after knife, the Tubo cavalry saw that he was the only one left, and he wanted to flee when he turned his horse's head, Li Mo suddenly threw out a Mo knife and pierced it through the chest, and the last Tubo cavalry also fell straight down the horse.
