Chapter 194: Fighters
"Bang!"
The Tibetan soldier who reported the news was punched out of the tent, and blood spurted wildly in mid-air.
"Autumn Song!"
The soldiers outside the tent heard the roar coming from inside, and carefully carried away the messengers.
Qili Man was very angry, he knew his situation very well, as soon as the Huangsha Pass was broken, the Jin army in all parts of Liangzhou quickly shrank in the direction of Guzang, the Great Jin Emperor may have begun to transfer troops from the Central Plains and Yongzhou to Liangzhou, the strategic purpose of the prime minister has been fully realized, and now he only needs to attract the Jin army to the vicinity of Huangsha Pass, if they can hold each other until winter, it will be even more perfect.
But Kiliman was not satisfied, this expedition, his greatest hope is to defeat the black panther on the battlefield, if he can cut off Qiu Ge's head, it will be perfect.
Therefore, what he cares about the most is Qiu Ge.
But Qiu Ge didn't play his cards according to common sense, he didn't go to the Fox Ridge Canyon, he didn't go to the mouth of the three rivers, he withdrew to the unknown place, he was looking for him in all directions, but he turned around and attacked Huangsha Pass.
Qiu Ge didn't know that he attacked Huangsha Pass at night and burned the grain and forage on the pass, but the results were far greater than he imagined.
When the prime minister withdrew, he left a large amount of grain and grass, and the logistics supplies were not used for the time being, but these days passed, and it was time to replenish them.
After venting, Qi Liman was angry, grabbed a token, and ordered the rear to immediately organize the second batch of grain and grass, which must be sent to the front of the army within half a decade.
"Gesang Tenzin, you go to guard Huangsha Pass, don't be like that stupid guy in Dunzhu to slaughter people. ”
According to the report of the defeated soldiers, the Huangsha guard Dunzhu was shot dead by Qiu Ge, which made Qili full of anger and secretly frightened.
Huangsha Pass is such an important pass, naturally will not send a fool to garrison, the guard will be the Minister of State personally selected Dunzhu, this Dunzhu is also a famous Tibetan warrior, from Geer Temple, Taer Temple Husi King Kong disciples, there are seven martial arts realm, actually not Qiu Ge's one-shot enemy.
Food is now the key, although Kiliman looks rude, but in fact he is not a reckless man, after two orders in a row, he ordered the whole army to be checked of food and forage, and everyone from now on, food must be rationed.
But this was not enough, and the statistics were soon sent, and Kiliman found that even if he compressed his rations, he could only last ten days, but it was impossible to send food and forage in ten days, and the only thing he could do now was to feed the war with war.
This is the only way.
As a result, Kiliman decided to send troops to attack the forts in various places.
In past wars, the Tibetans rarely attacked the Dockfort unless the Dockfort attacked them first.
There's a natural reason for that.
The Tubo people are the same as the Xianbei Xiongnu, they are good at field warfare and not good at attacking cities, and the dock fort looks very small, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, especially the dock fort in Liangzhou, there are Tubo Xianbei peeps outside, and there are homeless people making chaos inside, so the dock fort is generally built in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Attacking the dock fort is all one purpose, to obtain grain and grass, both the people in the dock fort and the Tubo people understand, so when they are in a hurry, the people in the dock fort are all burned, and the grain is burned, and the result is that both sides have more to gain than they lose.
Therefore, the attack on the Dock Fort was not entirely by force, but Kiliman did not understand this, and he could not send more troops, so he could only send the warriors of the two tribes and tell them that after taking the Dock Fort, in addition to the food and horses, all the other gold, silver, treasures and women belonged to them.
The leaders of the two tribes couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, these two tribes are not small tribes, this time they each brought three thousand and four thousand tribal warriors to fight, their biggest hope is to occupy some pasture, if not, grab some things.
Kiliman still reminded them that when attacking the Dock Fort, they should pay attention to the movements of the Jin army and not just care about their heads.
After they had gone, Kiliman called two more generals, each with 5,000 men and horses, to search and attack in the east.
---------------------------------------
Qiu Ge soon learned of Qiliman's move, Qiliman's full division of troops was exactly what he was expecting, the black panther only had 3,000 horses, Qili Man's troops, 50,000 horses gathered together, he couldn't gnaw, only after Qili was fully divided, he had a chance.
Zhu Jing led his troops to retreat to Wangchuan and sent two teams of scouts to find him and tell him about the situation in Liangzhou, so that he could roughly understand the deployment of the Huqiang General's Mansion.
Xu Duwei suggested retreating to Lingqu, meeting with Fang Da, and carrying out the next step in accordance with the deployment of the Protector General's Mansion.
But Qiu Ge didn't accept it, Huangsha Guan was lost in his hands, and he wanted to take it back with his own hands.
Sneak attack on Huangsha Pass, a fire burned Qiliman's grain and grass, and then, Qiu Ge led his troops to flee seventy miles, and after a night's rest, he made a detour to lurk in the woods in the southeast of Qiliman, peeping at Qiliman's movements.
He is like a leopard lurking in the mountains and forests, staring at its prey, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
Before dawn, Qiu Ge led his troops to the valley immediately, all the soldiers had leaves in their mouths, all the horses chewed on their mouths, and the horses' hooves were covered with thick cotton cloth, and the whole army marched silently to the west.
After the sky was bright, Qiu Ge led his troops to move to a small stream, this area is relatively narrow, the terrain is very unfavorable to the cavalry, the troops stopped, the whole army pulled out for several miles, almost in a single line, everyone automatically chose a good hiding point, if there are scouts from the outside, they can't see at all, there are three thousand elites hidden here.
Qiu Ge took out the map, and after looking at it for a long time, he called three officers, pointed to three places with his fingers, and gave orders in a low voice, the three of them nodded, and then went back, each called ten soldiers, and quietly used the grass.
Then all the soldiers dismounted, and no man was allowed to unmount his armor, nor to unsaddle his horse, and he was not allowed to go near the stream, but he was not allowed to go to the stream to drink.
Such a strict camouflage, in all the armies of Liangzhou, that is, the black panther can be executed, this black panther was trained by Qiu Ge himself, and every soldier and every war horse was selected by him, so he had the confidence to take three thousand lonely soldiers and fifty thousand Tubo people around.
After calculating the grain and grass, he can still support it for five days, and if he can't find a fighter within five days, he must retreat.
Time passed slowly, and at noon, the three scouts came back one after another, and as he expected, the Tubo people were attacking the Hanjiawu Fort in front, with a strength of about 4,000 men and more than 2,000 infantry.
"How's the battle going?"
"It's not very intense, the Tibetans are cutting down trees and building ladders, preparing siege equipment. ”
Qiu Ge snorted coldly, containing contempt, and now he knew that he had built siege equipment, which showed that Qi Liman didn't want to attack Guzang at all.
After looking at the map for a long time, another Tibetan army attacked Weijiawu Fort thirty miles away.
These two dock forts, Qiu Ge is clear, there are about 800 people in Hanjiawu Fort, the Han family is not a scholar clan, it is a Shu clan, the family has 200 soldiers, which is not big in Liangzhou, plus the people in the dock fort, it is estimated that about 500 people can be mobilized, and the Tubo people use 4,000 people to attack, I am afraid it will take time and effort, and it is not certain whether it can be captured.
Weijiawu Fort is almost the same, there are about five or six hundred troops, and the strength of the Tubo people is three thousand, and it will not take a day or two to capture it.
But what is more troublesome now is that when the Tubo people attacked the dock fort, they kept a close eye behind them, and the scouts were placed in about fifty miles, and three thousand men and horses were very difficult to quietly touch behind the Tubo people.
After looking at the map for a long time, Qiu Ge still did not have a good battle plan, Hanjiawu Fort was on a small hill, surrounded by no shelter, and the terrain was very good; Weijiawu Fort had better terrain and was built on the mountain.
Qiu Ge did not give an order, and all the soldiers were waiting anxiously, but no one was agitated, let alone asked.
Time passed slowly, and at the end of Shen Shi, Qiu Ge finally gave the order to set off, however, he ordered Xu Duwei to lead twelve good men to open the way in front, and all the Tubo scouts he encountered must be killed.
The army quietly moved towards Hanjiawu Fort, halfway through, Qiu Ge stopped again, and looked at the map for a long time, this move surprised the whole army, after Qiu Ge gave the order in the past, he acted very quickly and never hesitated.
Soon the order was given, and more than a dozen squads of soldiers left the unit on horseback and galloped in all directions, and the troops set off again, this time at a noticeably faster pace.
At the moment, the troops rushed to a small forest, and Captain Xu came out with ten soldiers.
"Major General, he completed his mission with humility, killed three groups of scouts, and lost two brothers. ”
"Are they still attacking?" Qiu Ge asked the enemy directly, and Xu Duwei said: "It is estimated that there will be another attack, just now, the Tubo people rushed to the dock wall, and they were beaten down by the Han family again, as if Han Jin was inside." ”
Han Jin is the young leader of the Han family, well-known in Liangzhou, both civil and military, is the leader of the young generation in Liangzhou, and is also the hope star of the Han family.
Qiu Ge nodded slightly, with Han Jin here, Hanjiawu Fort can stay for a while longer.
The horn sounded, the Tibetans began to attack again, the Tibetan infantry carried simple ladders and rushed to the dock wall, 500 shieldmen protected the archers, stood fifty paces outside the fort, and began to suppress the dock fort.
"No, why is the Han family's counterattack so weak!"
Xu Duwei was very puzzled, the arrows shot from the dock fort were sparse and did not cause many casualties.
The arrows of the Tubo people were so urgent and fast that the Han family on the dock wall was so suppressed that they did not dare to raise their heads, and when they saw the Tubo people, they rushed to the bottom of the dock wall.
At this moment, the red flag on the watchtower shook, and wooden barrels were thrown out of the dock wall, the wooden barrels fell to the ground and cracked, the black oil flowed out, and several rockets were shot from the watchtower.
"Boom!"
The flames rose into the air, soaring several feet high, and in the firelight, the Tibetan soldiers struggled and rolled, extremely miserable.
The Tibetan soldiers, who were alive and did not receive the impact, turned around and ran, lest they be slow.
The dock door was wide open, and a group of cavalry rushed out, and the cavalry caught up with the Tubo people in a blink of an eye, and the Tubo infantry almost did not resist.
The Tubo cavalry behind the formation began to start slowly, and Qiu Ge showed a smile: "This Han Jin still has the courage, it's our turn." ”
"Lu Ao, you lead the team to attack the left, Xu Rui, you lead the headquarters to attack the right, and the rest follow me. ”
Qiu Ge stepped onto his horse, took off his spear, and the troops quickly lined up behind.
Kicking the horse's belly, the white horse shook its head, and its long mane floated.
Between the mountains and forests, the sun sets in the west, the fire in the distance reflects the sun, and the heaven and earth are bloody.
