Chapter 66 Mingsha

The ancients did not have a sound understanding of the disease of altitude sickness, and even if they were defeated, they would not blame the terrible altitude sickness.

I will only think that my ability is not good and the enemy's combat power is too strong.

In fact, the average altitude of Dafeichuan is about 4,000 meters, and this area is a perfect plateau reaction zone.

Most of the Tang army soldiers came from plains and were not suitable for plateau life at all.

In addition, marching and fighting have a huge physical burden, which is also a huge test for the physical condition of the soldiers.

Diarrhea, dizziness, emphysema, and these altitude sicknesses should be widely present in the military camps.

How could these soldiers from the plain compare to the Tubo soldiers who had already come down from the mountains in dealing with the plateau environment?

Therefore, Li Jun must find a way to help the soldiers overcome the terrible altitude sickness.

After a while, Mr. Wumingzi, the chief general who fought against the Turks, arrived.

In order to facilitate marching, he had already changed into Hu's armor, which looked refreshing and full of heroic spirit.

He tore off his usual joking look in the Taoist Shop. Wumingzi's face was quiet at this moment, like a deep pool of water.

It has always been Wuming's wish to be able to follow the Tang army to fight and serve the country.

But objectively speaking, he also took a lot of heart for Li Jun.

He hesitated for a moment before he finally said: "Thank you for your recreation!"

Li Jun was looking up at the sky, actively imagining ways to overcome altitude sickness. After hearing this, he was immediately startled.

What I did, which moved Wumingzi so much, Li Jun tilted his head and couldn't figure it out.

Yao Kui hurriedly echoed: "It's all for the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, just work hard!"

Li Jun seemed to think about it and feel a little bit.

Wumingzi and others are still equivalent to black households, and they should live a claustrophobic life in the forbidden area.

But now they are here to participate in the war. No matter what their identity is, they can finally move on the surface.

He no longer hid in the Taoist yard, and he was like a mouse without seeing the light of heaven.

It seems that they can live like this because of his prince's blessing.

He raised his smile, reducing the burden on Wumingzi's heart, but the little heart gradually tightened.

Only then did he realize that these people are now in the military camp, and they can be said to be time bombs.

In the future, even if you return in triumph, if someone with ulterior motives finds out their identities, you will be unable to bear it.

Pressing down his uneasiness, he pointed to the place of Lingzhou and said affectionately: "You must pay attention to this place. The Turkic army is likely to cause trouble here."

here?

Several people expressed their doubts that the Turkic army has now advanced to Lanzhou, and Lingzhou is still in the Shuofang area. According to the current situation, it should have been beaten to pieces.

What else to pay attention to?

When Wumingzi led his army to arrive, it would be great if he had time to clean up the battlefield and clean up the mess.

Smile at the question, Li Jun pointed to a small sand dune hidden in Lingzhou.

This place was called Mingsha in ancient times.

It is named because small sand dunes occasionally appear in the plains, and people and animals will make loud noises when stepping on thin sand blankets.

Not long after, Mo Chuo will attack here and give his last blow to the end of his strength.

This is a famous historical battle of the Sha Mooning Sand that took place in the second year of Shenlong.

According to historical records, during this battle, the head of Lingwu County, Shatuo Zhongyi, was finally defeated and fled, returned to the court, and was stripped of all his official positions and titles.

The previous battle report has shown that Shatuo Zhongyi’s life and death is unknown. Not to mention whether this battle report is accurate, it can at least prove that the person responsible for defending the enemy this time was Zhongyi.

It was only this year that Shatuo Zhongyi was replaced by Li Xian to Lingwu County. According to historical records, his military literacy is not very good. He usually acts as a general and fights on the flanks, but it may be okay. It is absolutely impossible to lead the entire army.

In other words, he is not a general.

It was in this battle that Mo Chuo stationed his troops in Mingsha, fought with the Tang army, and won a great victory, and then began to rob and plunder the mainland prefectures and counties.

Li Jun had a guess about the military newspaper ahead.

Perhaps, in order to allow the court to send troops as soon as possible, the officials who reported the report exaggerated the situation of the war slightly, because, according to later records, the Turkic army could only penetrate the mainland and invade in large quantities if it broke through the Lingzhou defense line.

And now there is no record of the battle situation in Lingzhou in this report. Was it intentionally ignored or was it not really started?

All of these need to be confirmed by Wumingzi leading his army to Lingzhou.

Now, Li Jun can only teach one or two of the key points of fighting against the Turks.

With Yao Kui making jokes in it, the atmosphere at the scene finally became much more relaxed and active.

Li Jun drank a few sips of wine, pulled out his sword, and gestured at the Lingzhou area, and said, "You guys are optimistic. There is a moving sand dune in Lingzhou area. This place is commonly known as Mingsha. Mo Chuo went deep into the mainland this time and had great ambitions. If you want to make another step forward, Mingsha must be seized."

Since being appointed as the general of the army by Li Jun, Yao Kui and Wu Yanzong have not been idle either. They hold military books all day long and study various tactics.

Both eyes are always staring at the map, hoping to find a good way to defeat the enemy from the simple pictures.

However, none of them noticed the place Mingsha.

Wumingzi asked: "Your Highness the Crown Prince means that the Turkic Khan is likely to break through here and attack the mainland?"

"Yes," Li Jun poked a place in Lingzhou and said: "You can take a look at the terrain of Lingzhou. It was called Huanzhou in ancient times. As the name suggests, it was surrounded by ring-shaped mountains and a natural barrier."

"But in this seemingly indestructible barrier, there is a flaw, that is Mingsha. The complete circular mountain range, in Mingsha, the terrain is slightly shorter, there is quicksand all year round, and the terrain is relatively flat. If I were a Turkic Khan, I must be thinking about this place."

"As long as you take it down, you can break through the northern defense line and step into Pingyuanzhou, Lanzhou, Qingzhou and other areas in one fell swoop."

"What does the Crown Prince mean?"

Wumingzi stared at this inconspicuous place called Mingsha and said thoughtfully.

"If you lead the army eastward, you must pay attention to the battle situation along the way and do not attack Lanzhou directly. You must go to Lingzhou in time to meet with the garrison in Mingsha."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince said that the Turkic troops may not have broken through the Lingzhou defense line? But if this happens, why would the war report show that Lanzhou has been robbed?"
