Chapter 212: Crossing (Part 2)
Chapter 212: Ferry (Chinese)
Opposite, mist is misty.
There was a night wind blowing, blowing from the Indian Ocean. It was separated by thousands of mountains and thousands of mountains, and the wind became weaker. The fog couldn't blow away, floating over and over, and the situation on the battlefield also appeared and appeared. But this is the veritable hell.
The tall mountains on both sides were pressing down, and they were about to fall, as if two demon kings were standing at both ends of the valley, staring at the battlefield ferociously. On the valley was a sea of fire and blood. Some soldiers died, torches were thrown on the ground, either trampled or burned, and some burned the tent. Many soldiers waved their weapons, most of them were backward primitive weapons, and even hoes and hatchets appeared on the battlefield, but they could also kill people.
Three words can be used to describe the scene and a big fight!
It was messy, everything was messy, it looked similar, the weapons used were similar, and the language was similar, and it was impossible to tell the difference between the enemy and the comrades. This idea was created by Pei Xingjian. He contacted Xinuluo for a long time, and the messenger sent him over and told the situation. The barbarian was not very careful yet, so let's tell the truth.
After Xinuluo and his team returned, the situation was not very good. Fortunately, there was one thing that Liang Jishou was greedy for treasures and was afraid that it would be difficult to distribute them in the future, so he did not bring all their soldiers there. However, as soon as the Devil Mountain went in and out, most of the people also lost. Then he was suppressed by the Meng Jian coalition again and had almost no power to fight back. But the victors were always good. Liang Jishou defeated the big and small Bo Nong and Meng Jian coalition, killed or captured a large number of enemies, and obtained many weapons and supplies. Except for a few who stayed, most Liang Jishou looked down on him, such as what the bamboo bow and bamboo arrow wanted it to do. These weapons were given to Xinuluo and other tribes involved.
It was not good for the Tang Dynasty, but it was still very precious for the Nanzhao tribes. They relied on the terrain to stalemate one after another. But the situation became worse day by day. For example, Li Shiding and Yang Nongdong's tribes were basically half of the tribes who were abducted or killed by Meng Jian's army. Fortunately, Meng Jian was ambitious and attacked and managed Yaozhou City, and was distracted. In fact, it was possible that all the tribes supporting the Tang Dynasty last time could erase half of them. That's it. The losses of the mountains, the previous battle, and Meng Jian's counterattack, all the tribes lost more than half of their strength.
Li Wei replied: "Today's sacrifice will be rewarded in the future."
As an envoy, he is always a clever man in the tribe. With this sentence, it is enough to go back with satisfaction.
Then the Tang Dynasty army went southwest. When the scout learned about the ambush in Longchuan River, Pei Xingjian and Li Wei had a joint idea, which was today's big battle.
Originally, at night, the spring fog was heavier by the Longchuan River. Pei Xingjian did not come, and the fog could guess. The garrisoned rebels came from all over the place, near Erhai Lake, Yangjiang and Bijiang River, west of Jinsha River, and even 500 Tubo soldiers came secretly, as well as some tribes in the south and southeast of Erhai Lake. The members were very complicated, and their sights would definitely be attracted by the arrival of the Tang Dynasty army. The reason Li Wei and Xue Na explained when they talked to him. No one on the other side talked to him, maybe he was careful about the movement behind him, and there was a person on the other side talking. With the natural danger of Longchuan River, Mengshezhao was almost destroyed, and there were three or four hundred miles away from Longchuan River. I wouldn't pay much attention.
So the opportunity came, and the army, Pei Xingjian was embarrassed to open the exit with these two words. A group of hunters or farmers, holding sickles and hoes, were circling like flies, and using the name of the army as an insult. Don't do too many, and quietly transferred two thousand people to three or four batches, four or five batches. This was asked to make the decision by himself. I touched the back of Qiulong Ferry, and took advantage of the night, or the dark night at the beginning of the moon, and fog, and attacked the military camp at night. Don't seek merit, just mess up the military camp. Then the Tang Dynasty army took the opportunity to cross the river and carried out a second battle at Qiulong Ferry.
In order to attract more enemies, he even deliberately slowed down his schedule and stayed on the other side of the river to moisten his work, without asking how fast the Xiaonulu was. After all, this is the territory of Yaozhou. According to Li Wei, the mass base is not too good or too bad. It is better than fighting in the Yangbi River in Erhai Lake.
Xinuluo was anxious.
The two giants, now they are either surrounded by Tubo or Tang, but they are too late to stay by Tubo. They have to assist the Tang Dynasty in fighting. They don’t understand the situation of the Tang Dynasty. They know that the Tang Dynasty was defeated and only once, and then they look at Tubo sneaking in like a small thief, but the Tang Dynasty is upright and open. Therefore, they think about it in their minds and think that the Tang Dynasty is more confident. After all, they have sent envoys to Chang'an to see it, and know how old and rich the Tang Dynasty is. They are self-hypnotizing.
They were both Tubo people, Meng Jian's remnants, Shun tribes, and dissatisfied with Liang Jishou's later joining the southern and southern tribes. This made Meng Jian gather together, with tens of thousands of people, and once again claimed to be 100,000 people. Of course, if necessary, the farmers were added together, and there were almost no 100,000 people. They occupied Yaozhou City, mainly Tubo sent troops. Meng Jian had the confidence in his heart and started a war on both sides. When the Tang army arrived, he still did not let them attack. Life was hard.
The scout of the Tang Dynasty used a quick horse to deliver the news to him. He was cruel and irrespective of the strength in his hands. He squeezed out two thousand soldiers with his son Luo Shengyan, general Guo Junyi, Zhang Jiancheng, brother-in-law Zhang Leyichuan, and Duan Yudong, the leader of other tribes. Shi Dongwang took advantage of the chaos of Meng Jianbu's army to divide into six or seven teams and approach Qiulong Ferry. Not only was the battlefield chaotic, but it was very chaotic from Erhai Lake to Yaozhou. Not to mention that the two thousand people were divided into several small groups, they were only five thousand people. As long as they were not outsiders, they had little difference in appearance and complex terrain. Even if Pei Xingjian presided over, they could not judge.
It was good that it came, but Pei Xingjian complained a little, and it came a little quickly, so the enemy gathered about 10,000 people on the other ferry. Of course, including several other ferry crossings, there were also five or six thousand people. But the other ferry crossings were basically beyond the reach. But it was better to come than not.
During the day, through training, he released the signal on the hills on both sides of the river on the south side of Qiulong Ferry. Then at night, at the third o'clock in the morning, Luo Shengyan saw Meng Jian's men fall asleep together, gathered the team and touched them. Some people patrolled, there was fog, and the two thousand people were not cavalry. Meng Jian's soldiers were not like soldiers, and the soldiers under Luo Shengyan's soldiers were also discovered. But he was careless and asked about it. He didn't think about it at first, and he became more and more suspicious about why the reinforcements marched in the middle of the night. When he saw the group of people sneaking and issued a warning. But at this time, Luo Shengyan led the army to approach the barracks. Even because of relaxation, there was no wooden fence behind him for protection.
The sentry warned in front that Luo Shengyan raised his sword and rushed into the camp with his subordinates. They all tied a small white cloth to their elbows, but Meng Jian's subordinates didn't know that it was time to sleep soundly. When they dispersed, they immediately became in chaos. In fact, Luo Shengyan's subordinates were also mobs, otherwise this wedge would not have the Tang Dynasty army crossed the river, and with these two thousand people, they could have dealt with these ten thousand people.
Luo Shengyan also made a serious mistake. The people of the Tang Dynasty wanted to be in chaos. I put my subordinates in like ducks and scattered everywhere. Wouldn't it be even more chaotic? In fact, these two thousand scattered soldiers and brave men divided into three or four teams, forming a formation to swim in the camp under Meng Jian's hands, with greater lethality. It is possible that Meng Jian's subordinates would automatically collapse without waiting for the Tang army to cross the river. In this way, the chaos would be even more chaotic. At first, Meng Jian's subordinates all became flies, and some were so anxious that they began to jump into the Longchuan River.
The team was led by Meng Yedong, the son of Meng Jian, who was also incompetent in command, but there was a thousand-household leader named Jia Xuebaqu in Tubo, who was not a famous general, but his military cultivation was definitely higher than Meng Yedong and Luo Shengyan. At first, he was also indifferent to the situation. After a while, he was not surprised but happy. He found Meng Yedong who wanted to escape and asked him to order that all departments stand in order, that is, the A department was concentrated in the north and the B department was concentrated in the east, and so on. No matter how many enemies they killed, as long as they were concentrated, they could be identified, which would not be harmful.
Meng Yedong immediately sent a messenger to shout. It was still very chaotic. The fog was heavy, and I didn’t know how many enemies were coming in. I didn’t even know who the enemy was. I was about to chop people with a knife, but I said, we are not the enemy, and where the enemy is. I believed it, I raised my sword and went to kill him together, but the front was killing his comrades in front, and the so-called enemy touching the back of his head with a knife. I heard that I wanted to concentrate, but the people who were slightly slow to react didn’t even know where the southeast, southwest and northwest were. How to gather?
But some people reacted quickly and fought a way out. According to the commander, standing in a certain position is not easy to pretend. They are all soldiers of the same sector, staying together every day, and no one knows them. They gradually gathered into groups, and the power also showed. Of course, it was still very chaotic, but Luo Shengyan was a little anxious when he saw this situation. Until now, he did not realize his misunderstanding, and thought he had done a good job, and chopped the knife to kill a running soldier, and killed three or four more people, and fought out a way to the stone wall.
There are many people who built it, but the estuary is very wide, so it is impossible to build a city wall at once. It is only half a person tall. It is not possible to be a city wall. It can be a good cover, and people hide in it and shoot arrows safely. Normally, the Tang Dynasty army will sacrifice many people at this ferry before it can be taken down.
Luo Shengyan looked at the other side and heard something happening on the other side of the river. Then many torches lit up. So he shouted excitedly: "My sons, the Tang Dynasty army is going to cross the river!"
Isn't this a fool? Meng Yedong made him kill him so much that he forgot the Tang army across the river. Isn't this shout a reminder? Of course, there are some benefits. Since fighting until now, Luo Shengyan's subordinates saw the enemy gradually embracing him, and some people began to cowardly. Meng Yedong's subordinates gradually woke up, rationally distinguished their direction, and found their comrades. Once they formed a group, there were more people, but now Luo Shengyan's subordinates were still putting ducks, and the strength of strength would change. Besides, the number of people was still several times that of Luo Shengyan's subordinates.
But as soon as Luo Shengyan shouted, his morale immediately became high. Meng Yedong's soldiers were panicked again, and some began to flee out under the fog. In short, it was a chaotic battle that could not be more chaotic.
When Jiaxuebaqu saw the situation, he shouted terrible. He knew it was not good, so he stood on a high place and looked at it, but he didn't really look at it. He asked Meng Yedong to order to move three or four troops to the stone wall. After roughly estimating, he guessed that the camp was a tribe friendly to the Tang Dynasty, and there would not be too many soldiers. As long as the Tang Dynasty army was blocked across the river, although the losses were heavy, he could still keep the ferry. And there was a natural danger in the river, so there was no need for too many people. In fact, it was not too much to lose the ferry. As long as the Tang Dynasty army was killed and injured, the price was worth it. After all, the Tang army only used 10,000 people to fight south, and it was the prince!
As long as there were not many soldiers left in the Tang Dynasty and forced to attack Yaozhou, they could be locked in a cage at once. What kind of credit would it be to capture the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty alive? The Tang Dynasty and Tubo immediately changed their power, and at least the Nanzhao tribes were immediately disheartened.
It would not be so easy, so they were allowed to occupy Nanzhao. With the support of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao was also uneasy towards Tubo.
The idea should be good. The Tang army came, with very few troops and could not afford to lose money. But at this time, he was just relying on his imagination to command, and various troops were gathering. Not all the soldiers gathered. Three or four tribes moved to the stone wall. Jiaxuebaqu looked at it. There were only three or four hundred people. Not only were there few people, but because of panic, the weapons in his hand were all kinds of, with not twenty bows and arrows in his hand, and half of them were only carrying bows and did not bring quiver pots. Do you want a frightened bird?
He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, so he asked Meng Yedong to order a few more to bring bows and arrows. He woke up and knew that he wanted to bring bows and arrows, but he finally came out and gathered in a group. The soldier dared to go back to find bows and arrows? He didn't even know where the tent he had originally slept in.
Gradually more soldiers moved closer to the stone wall, and many soldiers did not belong to these tribes. When they saw that they were comrades by the stone wall, or were safe here, they also ran over. The one who knew him did not come in front of him, raised his sword to face him. He couldn't shout or shout, and some did not see that it was not good, and ran back, and some were deciphering, but many people were red-eyed, and you could kill me, and I could kill you. As a result, there was no array to defend beside the stone wall, but it was chaotic again.
Jiaxuebaqu had fought for more than ten years and had not fought like this. He screamed in anger and sat on the stone wall, almost fainting from anger.
Then a low drum sound came from the opposite side. After a while, the torches approached from the river. I knew that the Tang Dynasty army was going to cross the river, but I didn't expect it to be so gorgeous.
A gust of river wind blew, and the fog dissipated, revealing a clear river surface. Two hundred great men, not big men, but evil spirits. They couldn't see clearly through the fog, and they were wearing masks. They were originally picked out by one of them, with a burly figure and night. They looked taller. They stood on the strange crossing of the river on the back of the cow and the horse, and made strange screams in their mouths. They were not devils, but demons who escaped from hell.
