"Hahaha—"
In the handsome tent of Tang Junyingzhai, bursts of cheerful laughter came out, and the smell of barbecue occasionally wafted in the wind in the midair of Dafeichuanwalan.
"Major General, really strategize and win a thousand miles!" Xue Wanjun held up a bowl of tea, "Xue uses tea instead of wine to respect Major General!"
"General Xie Xue, Qin dare not be ashamed." Qin Mubai held a cup of tea with him and replied with a smile.
The two armies are facing each other and alcohol is forbidden in the army. This is not only a rule of the Tang Military Law, but also a general issued by Qin Shubao's three orders and five applications. No one dares to violate it.
Xue Wanche was much more silent than his elder brother, especially when he saw Xue Rengui standing behind Qin Mubai, who had defeated him in Dengzhou, his expression was still somewhat depressed.
Qin Mubai looked in his eyes, then smiled and asked him: "The general seems to have concerns?"
"Oh, no." Xue Wanche replied, "It's just..."
"How?"
Xue Wanche said: "It's just that I was expecting that although we have already stopped the Tubo 60,000 army from advancing and crushed them in the hinterland of Dafeichuan, what shall we use to expel and defeat them? In the busy summer farming season, our food and grass are not particularly plentiful on the one hand, and on the other hand, it should not be postponed for a long time, which will delay the army's farming!"
"What General Xue said is right!" Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, and said, "We have only implemented half of the strategy for the entire Dafeichuan strategy. It is indeed too early to be happy. Sixty thousand The Tubo cavalry was definitely a huge force that should not be underestimated in the past. If we want to use our upright troops to defeat the enemy, it is almost impossible with the current strength of Lanzhou."
"What tricks does the major general have?" Brother Xue asked together.
Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "Don't worry. Once I understand, I will check the camp of the Tubo army, and then make a decision."
"Well..." The Xue brothers were also helpless, and it was hard to ask questions. Although they were commander general Qin Mubai was just a general in Yifu, it was clear that the strategy to break the enemy was only in his grasp. Even if the two brothers had the courage of three heads and six arms, they did not have the slightest confidence that they would be able to destroy the 60,000 Tubo army with the current over 10,000 soldiers.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui took a few Qingqi entourages and walked around on the hills next to the Aizhai built by the Tang army, and looked up at the Tubo camp several miles away.
The area around Dafeichuan and Qinghai Lake does not have as many sandstorms as Lanzhou. The sky, blue water and blue sky are unobstructed and the visibility is excellent. Although it is a few miles away, you can still see the huge camp that the Tubo people stretch for several miles, like a yak lying between the green plains of blue water and the white snowy field.
The scenery is beautiful.
"Rengui, you have swayed many times before the Tubo camp, what is the terrain of that area?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Very flat grassland, next to Qinghai Lake." Xue Rengui replied, "The Tubo people would choose places with rich aquatic plants."
Qin Mubai nodded, thinking: The range of the red cannon is a problem. There is still a few miles between the two armies, and it is full of plains and grass. It is obviously a unique cavalry battlefield. If we blindly advance, as soon as the Tubo people find something strange, only Xiao will kill more than a hundred horses, and my hard work of 300,000 red cannons will be completely lost. Moreover, the cannon cannot be regarded as the main battle. When it debuted for the first time, its powerful cannons could be fully utilized.
"Rengui, you said, if you go to the Tubo camp to challenge now, will they still care?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.
"It's hard to tell." Xue Rengui also laughed, and said, "The Tubo people must be irritated after being teased. The major generals are full of strange and suspicious soldiers. They can't tell which way is true and which way is false. It is very likely to come. One would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."
"It makes sense." Qin Mubai raised the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely, "Then I have to scare them again, and use a large number of drums to coax them, making them dizzy and afraid to leave the camp. ."
"Is it possible to repeat the old technique?" Xue Rengui asked.
"New wine in old bottles will do." Qin Mubai smiled, "Go back to camp, I have a way."
Just after dinner that afternoon, Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui set off together. In addition to the original Yifu elite Yueqi, Qin Mubai also brought more than a thousand drummers and horn players, and a huge army of more than 100 faces. Drums and hundreds of soaring golden horns. Everyone is puzzled, how can you bring such a bunch of broken toys to challenge? Qin Mubai didn't say much, and set off after finishing the outfit.
A few miles, it will be there soon. I met Tubo scouts along the way and ignored them, so they returned to the camp to report. By the time Qin Mubai and others arrived in front of the Tubo camp, it was already the sun setting and it was about to enter the night. As expected, the people and horses in the Tubo camp were pouring out the bows and arrows, and waiting for them.
Looking at the position they set up, it's a defensive posture that sticks to the camp.
"Oh, it's interesting. The sixty thousand army saw more than two thousand of us coming, and actually put on the defensive first." Qin Mubai smiled.
Xue Rengui said: "After being deceived a few times in a row, they are more cautious." "It should be that everyone is suspicious." Qin Mubai said hehe, "Using soldiers, being suspicious is a taboo. At this time, they If we really send out a strong ride to deal with us, we really have no good way, we can only turn around and run, all drums and horns can only be thrown away."
"It seems that the major general has figured out their minds clearly." Xue Rengui laughed.
Tang Jun was more than a mile away from the Tubo camp, and he didn't come forward to call for battle. The Tubo waited for a while, probably because it decided to not understand the Tang army, and gradually restored normal order, but Yingkou arranged a lot of sergeants to guard closely.
"The opposing general was quite calm and didn't panic." Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "However, they will suffer after dark."
It was getting dark, and there was a fire in the Tubo camp. The ranger scouts patrolling the outposts came and went one after another, clearly defending them. Qin Mubai ordered all the sergeants to light a bonfire, but they were divided into several teams and moved to the sides. The original fire was left with one or two people to look after it to ensure that it would not go out. Then, the army dispersed and spread out along the camps of the Tubo people into the four fields, keeping a distance of one or two miles, and bonfires were lit everywhere.
The Tubo people were surprised to see that the mountains and plains around the camp were full of bonfires, and it was still increasing. Could it be that the Tang army arrived in the middle of the night with many troops, preparing to form an encirclement against the Tubo camp?
The Tubo generals did not dare to neglect, and none of them dared to sleep. They all gathered together to pay attention to the movements of the Tang army. In the camp of tens of thousands of troops, the crowds were very bustling and lively, even more nervous than during the day.
But stared for a long while, only saw the bonfire burning, and did not turn off a Tang Jun to kill the camp from the night.
The Tubo people were annoyed, "It's another suspicion! Ignore it!"
"What if you really add so much Tang Jun?"
"They don't have so many people! Moreover, the Han people are the most cunning. If there are so many people, they will deliberately hide and hide to prevent us from knowing their true situation. Now that so many bonfires are deliberately lit, it proves that they are few Personal!"
"Why don't we kill them and kill them clean?"
"Fools, what if they have an ambush? It's hard to tell whereabouts in the dark, who knows which way is true and which way is false!"
……
The people of Tubo kept talking and arguing, and they were all at a loss. In view of the tricks they had encountered before, they decided not to rush out to be humiliated by killing them. Anyway, no matter how much Tang Jun fooled, it would be impossible to eat their 60,000 army raw with a small number of them!
So, decided to strictly guard the camp and ignore it.
Qin Mubai stayed up until midnight, and had a midnight snack with Xue Rengui. When he saw that the Tubo camp had returned to normal, he couldn't help but smiled: "I haven't slept, you still want to sleep? Rengui, call them I got up and peeed."
"Haha!" Xue Rengui yelled, and personally picked up a big drum hammer and walked to the large army drum that was as high as one side, and banged the war drum.
As soon as there was a sound, the Tang Jun drummers and trumpeters who had just dispersed into the fields all responded.
Suddenly, the sound of drums and horns in the four fields shook the water in Qinghai Lake.
The generals of Tubo jumped up into the sky from the yak.
"Robbery camp, Tang army robbery camp!"
The Tubo camp suddenly boiled.
In an instant, the drums were gone, and the horns were gone.
Qin Mubai decisively ordered: "Retreat!-the drums and horns, give them, the whole army Qingqi retreat!"
Two or three thousand people ran away, like a ghost of wind in the night.
Tubo was dumbfounded, you looked at me, I looked at you, and roared together--
"Dare to tease us again!"
Madmen and honest people get angry. It has always been the most terrifying. I don't know what kind of Tubo people classify themselves. In short, they drove out of the four holes and decided to take the risk of being ambushed and avenge the humiliation.
I rushed to those imaginary Tang army camps, but I heard some fires with remaining smoke and some drum horns that were blown cold by the wind of Qinghai Lake.
"Poke the drum, and move the horns back!" The general Tubo ordered like this, frustrated. They are not used to drums, but horns are useful.
Qin Mubai went back to the camp and fell asleep, like a gambler who went home after gambling through the sky and lost everything. Xue Wanjun and the others were shocked when they saw that all the horsemen came back, and the large amount of heavy ordnance they had taken away before was gone. When I asked Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui was also very at a loss. Finally, he had a rare humor and said: "The major general may feel embarrassed after repeatedly teasing the Tubo people, so he gave them those things as a comfort."
In the afternoon, Qin Mubai woke up. When I first arrived at Shuai Zhang, I found that everyone was waiting for him, and everyone had doubts on their faces.
Qin Mubai grinned: "My colleagues, please go back to sleep quickly!"
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.
"Hehe! Get a good night's sleep. We will be beating our drums again in the middle of the night. And this time, we will be beating the drums all night. Send orders to the soldiers and start sleeping in batches. At night, don't even want to sleep. Up."
Everyone smiled bitterly and puzzled, but they couldn't ask why they came, so they had to execute it.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden tremor of drums in the village of Tang Army Camp, and the Tubo people a few miles away could hear clearly, and all of them jumped up and scolded their mother in a panic, but they were afraid that Tang Jun would really attack in the middle of the night. As a result, the whole camp was purged and waited. As a result, after waiting in the middle of the night, not half of Tang Jun came to attack, so he bit his head and stuffed his ears, and most of them went back to sleep. Qin Mubai sent a group of cavalrymen to set fires in various places outside the Tubo camp, frightening them again, not serious or serious, and then ran away again.
Twice times, the Tubo people almost broke down. The soldiers were sent out to chase, but this time they didn't even touch the horn of the drum. It wasn't until after the Datang Yingzhai that he knew that it was the Tang army who was beating the drums. After returning the news, the Tubo people ignored it, everything was in order, and it was the turn to sleep, all with cotton wool stuffed in their ears just to cover their heads.
For the next few consecutive nights, it is still the same. Tubo's nerves seemed to be numb under repeated stimulation. Except for cursing, there seemed to be no other reaction.
That night, the lights were brightly lit in the tent of the Tang Army Zhongjun, and all the generals arrived. Qin Mubai said: "My colleagues, it is only tonight to break the Tubo army! General Xue, please separate the army, watch my signal, and prepare to enter from the Tubo camps!"
"What order?"
Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously: "That is, after the rumbling sound of the gods descending from the sky ceases, it is a good opportunity to enter the army!"
The generals are all at a loss!
"Trust me." Qin Mubai raised his mouth lightly and smiled.
"Okay." Xue Wanjun gritted his teeth and asked the generals to lead the soldiers and horses, riding seven roads in total, with clear-cut flags in response to raising fire, and then they would enter the Tubo camp together.
At night, the drums still rumbling in the Tang army camp. Qin Mubai led two hundred Shenwuying soldiers and set off with a carriage pulling thirty cannons. These cannons have been tightly wrapped since entering the village, and they are no different from ordinary baggage. They did not arouse any suspicion for a while. It was only then that everyone was shocked, not knowing what Qin Mubai was going to do.
Yuwen Hongtai led three thousand fine horses to **** him. This group of people set off first, and in the night of the rumbling drum, they spread evenly around the Tubo camp in an unusually calm and safe manner. Thirty cannons and dark barrels were aimed at the camp of Tubo, just like a fly swatter aimed at a blowfly lying on the glass. The fire that was going to be used to light the artillery was ignited, and the Tubo people didn't react at all. This was all used to it.
Qin Mubai got off his horse, picked up the fierce Huoyun, and blocked his ears with cotton wool. He picked up three torches and threw them high into the sky.
As soon as the order came out, the might of heaven came!
Thirty cannons were fired in succession, like Thor's hammer beating one after another, and amid the deafening rumbling, thirty angry fire lotus bloomed in the Tubo camp!
Tang Jun's ears were so stuffed that he couldn't hear many screams. I saw a burst of smoke billowing into the sky, like a fierce dragon breaking through the earth's crust and leaping towards the sky, the people in the Tubo camp who touched them are not without bones! The things in the camp ignited a raging fire. Before long, there is already a sea of fire!
"Oh my God, this is God's punishment!"
The Tubo people who didn't see an enemy can only scream in panic!
The bombardment still didn't stop. The artillery was familiar with changing the angle, aiming at different positions and firing in turns. The lines of "Tian Lei" were like curses with eyes, and they fell accurately in the camp of the Tubo people.
In the distance, Tang Jun was also shocked!
They only saw that in the Tubo camp of flames and black smoke, the people and horses were in chaos, and it was not like an army at all, but like the disaster site of an earthquake or tsunami.
This battle seems to be no longer necessary. The Tubo people opened the rear camp and were already fleeing frantically.
Not retreating, but fleeing!
In the face of Tianwei and God's punishment, no physical mortal can do anything, even if he is the unparalleled number one warrior on the plateau.
Qin Mubai issued an order to stop the shelling.
After a while, the Seventh Route Tang Army marched into the Tubo camp on foot to carry out the later suppression work. At this time, almost half of the Tubo army's 60,000 troops had escaped, and there were some who could not escape. Most of them were either frightened or injured or stunned in the shelling. They had no fighting power at all.
Actually, there were not many Tubos who died in the shelling. At most, it was equivalent to casualties in a small battle. It could not be more than two or three thousand. However, all is scared!
At dawn, Qin Mubai stood on the cannon mount, watching Tang flags have been planted in the Dafeichuan camp, the corner of his mouth was picked, and he shook his head.
"A few earthen cannons can also become a big killer of this era. Will the Tubo people who are frightened by the gods come to this land of Dafeichuan that has been cursed by the gods?"
