Noon in Tuyuhun

The blazing sun bakes the earth

A sand lizard hides at the door of its cave. This cold-blooded animal likes the hot sunshine very much. It can maintain its body temperature by beating the sun.

It fantasizes about whether it can find a favorite of its kind to breed the next generation.

The gravel on the ground suddenly jumped.

The lizards, who were still imagining, instantly hid in their caves, using their small eyes to quietly look at the direction of the source of the vibration.

Da da da

What followed was the heavy and numerous sound of horse hooves.

From the dark armor and the waving flags, we can tell that they are Tibetan cavalry, if there are tens of thousands of them.

This is the vanguard of the Tubo people

The leader was none other than the subordinate Dorje who almost embarrassed Missang Buza.

Dorje's full name is Pema Dorje. Dorje means Vajra in Tibetan. He does not insult the name of Vajra. He is more than eight feet tall and has a strong body. His whole body seems to be two triangles connected together.

He has a beard all over his face, a bronze helmet on his head, his strong body is wearing a set of heavy cavalry armor, his strong and strong arms are holding a mace, and he is riding a group of fiery red horses, walking in the entire team.

the forefront of.

A team of sentinels came to report

yu

a roar

Duoji reined in the war horse

The sentinel came and saluted Duoji: "General Duoji, according to the information from the people in Tuyuhun, this small valley is the Jinshui City of the Tang Dynasty."

"Jinshui City? Here's the map."

Dorje's subordinates handed over a map made of sheepskin. Dorje reached out and opened it, which was full of Tibetan words. Dorje took a look at the beautiful symbols on the map: "Send a thousand people across the valley to explore the situation, and then send a group of people back to tell you."

Lord Sambuza our place”

"yes"

jiajiajia

Dorje waved his thousands of subordinates to separate from the team, and rushed into the valley with his subordinates without hesitation.

Duoji waited for others to stand and watch, and found that his thousands of generals led the team to approach the mouth of the valley without any hindrance.

Went in

No time to stop

Duoji frowned and thought: Something is wrong. This is the most suitable place to intercept him outside Jinshui City. Master Sambuza has mentioned this place many times, otherwise he would not have sent him here personally.

"Sir, didn't Gam's thousand men pass smoothly? Is there anything wrong?"

Duoji explained to his subordinates: "Master Sambuza once said that this is the last barrier to Jinshui City. The Tang people must set up an ambush here. Now Gamu's people should not pass by like this."

"Master Duoji, has the Tang Dynasty not reacted yet?"

"No, you have seen those outposts we passed by"

"I've seen it before"

"There's no one around. The smoke has been lit, which proves they know we're coming."

"Then what should adults do?"

Duoji thought for a moment: "Lazong sent your hundred-man team to investigate."

Razon: "Yes"

Razong rode back to his group of thousands and pointed at one of the hundred: "Go in and explore."

"yes"

The centurion team left the team and entered the valley mouth safely again and gradually disappeared in the eyes of Duoji and others.

A gust of wind blows

Under the blazing sunshine, the rolling heat waves from the ground floated into the air.

Duoji suddenly felt that this valley was once again the mouth of a giant beast, and the people he just pushed in seemed to be the meat sent to the mouth of the giant beast.

Duoji quickly opened the map, observed it carefully, pointed at the two sides of Xiaogu and asked his deputy: "Yangzong, do you still remember what the Tyuhun people said about the passages on these two sides?"

Yangzong scratched his head: "The Tuyuhun people said that it is difficult to walk on both sides. There are many forked roads and ravines on both sides. If an ambush is set up here, thousands of people can block ten thousand people inside."

Duoji thought for a moment: "Then the Tuyuhun people said that people can be hidden here?"

Yangzong thought for a while: "It seems that he said that it is no problem to hide thousands of people."

not good

Duoji shouted: "Withdraw"

Several of Dorje's subordinates from Yangzong and Lazong did not react for a moment and looked at Dorje in confusion.

Woo woo woo

Before Duoji had time to respond to his doubts, a melodious horn sounded.

It’s the horn sound of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty

Then the deafening sound of horse hooves came from all directions.

When he turned around and wanted to leave, the sentinel from the rear of the cavalry team came to Duoji's side quickly.

"General Duoji, a group of Tang Dynasty cavalry appeared behind us, numbering no less than three thousand."

The sentinels on the left and right quickly came to Duoji's side.

"General Duoji, a group of Tang cavalry appeared behind our left wing, numbering no less than three thousand."

"General Duoji, a group of Tang Dynasty cavalry appeared on our right wing, numbering no less than three thousand."

"General Duoji, a group of Tang Dynasty cavalry appeared on our right flank, numbering no less than three thousand."

"General Duoji, another group of Tang Dynasty cavalry appeared on our left wing, numbering no less than three thousand."

Duoji's eyes almost popped out. He cursed secretly and roared: "Damn it, prepare for war."

Only then did Yangzong and Lazong's several Dorje subordinates realize that they had actually been surrounded.

Several people rode their horses one after another to join the cavalry team directly under their command, gathering their subordinates to stabilize the morale of the army.

Zhang Liao stood on the sand dune far away, watching Duoji's reaction from a distance and praised: "The Tubo forward is a wise man, this time it is a tough battle."

Feiyu nodded: "Yes, if the opponent turned around and ran away at the beginning, none of these cavalry would survive. I didn't expect that he would form a circle, which would make it difficult for us to attack."

Zhang Liao smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's not easy to start, but my Tang Dynasty's crossbows are not vegetarian. Such a dense circular formation will only consume more arrows."

Feiyu: "But general, if you consume too many arrows, there will be too many variables when fighting the main force of the Tubo people."

Zhang Liao patted Fei Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I asked the soldiers to bring an extra pot of arrows when I came this time."

Feiyu's face turned red. It seemed that he was still far behind General Zhang Liao. People had known about this kind of thing for a long time, but he didn't know it yet.

Perhaps because he could see Fei Yu's embarrassment, Zhang Liao comforted him: "Fei Yu, you are still young, not yet 20 years old. Being able to join the staff of a million-strong army can tell that you have talent and courage. You are short of nothing."

It’s just experience. As time goes by, it will definitely surpass me.”

Feiyu didn't say anything, but the other staff officers were unhappy. They were all selected from millions of troops. Why was Feiyu so powerful?

Zhang Liao turned to look at the group of staff officers around him: "You are the same. In time, you will definitely be the pillars of our Tang Dynasty. You have planned this battle very well. Next, it is time to collect military merits."

Zhang Liao mounted his horse and pointed his spear downwards: "Gentlemen, do you dare to charge forward with me and let the Tubo people know the military might of the Tang Dynasty?"

Finished speaking

Zhang Liao rushed down the sand dune with his horse...
