Crown Tang emperor

After Wei Donggong's thoughts were interrupted, he looked back at the general. He originally planned to send more troops to test, but after thinking about it, he felt that whether the Tang army was suspicious or not was secondary. Xindui, the source of water, bought enough time for the army behind, even if it was not a heavy responsibility.

At present, all the generals are intimidated by the Tang army, and they dare not fight rashly, which also stabilizes the morale of the army.So he put away his thoughts, got off the horse, swung the whip and whipped the general a few times, and at the same time coldly snorted: "If you violate the order again, you will definitely be executed!"

Following the retreat of the three hundred Tibetan soldiers, the cavalry who rushed out of the Tang camp also retreated to the camp, and the flags and drums died down.After the soldiers returned to the slope, the generals no longer raised the issue of war. Instead, they consciously ordered their troops to repair the gap made just now, and the trench that had just been filled was dug deeper and wider.

Seeing this scene, Wei Donggong's eyes once again had a glimmer of gloom.He didn't know that this seemingly solid defense also restricted his own mobility, so that he could only rely on his naked eyes and guesses in his heart to detect Tang Jun's movements and falsehoods.But if he didn't do this, those rebellious generals would have acted without authorization.

Many seemingly stupid arrangements actually have their own reasons.After ordering the generals to lead their troops back to the camp, Wei Donggong stood on the sloping ground and looked at the Tang army camp that had also returned to calm from a distance, but he couldn't help thinking: If Dalun Qinling led the army to fight here, would the Tang army still have the courage? In this bluff, trick and fool?

While the general Wei Donggong was still on the slope of Niuxindui lamenting the country's gains and losses, a fierce battle was going on in the southwest several tens of miles away from Niuxindui.

The open and flat terrain around Niuxindui is only one of the few special cases in Qinghai, and there are more places with rugged mountains and winding roads.

On the southwest side of Chishui source, there is a peak named Seabuckthorn Ridge, which is also the source of Chishui source soil called Seabuckthorn Ditch.Unlike Niuxindui, which has a low and gentle slope, Seabuckthorn Ridge is tall and straight, with steep mountains.As part of the mountain range between the source of Chishui, the Fan army also set up a beacon here as an important part of the entire Niuxindui defense line.

At this time, at the foot of the rugged and narrow mountain of Seabuckthorn Ridge, about [-] soldiers of the Tang Army were fighting and attacking.Different from the offensive and defensive battle of Hirano Fortified City, the high mountain of Seabuckthorn Ridge itself is an excellent defense. Although there are trails trampled by shepherds and wild animals, they are winding like sheep intestines, and some narrow places can only accommodate Hop on one leg.

The Tang army did not choose to attack the relatively flat Niuxindui, but attacked Seabuckthorn Ridge, which inevitably caught the foreign troops defending Seabuckthorn Ridge by surprise.Generally speaking, this place is by no means the first choice to attack, so the Fan army did not have many guards here, only more than [-].

However, relying on this mountain, even though the enemy was outnumbered, after a short period of panic, the Fan army in the Fengbao still organized a defensive counterattack in an orderly manner. The soldiers relied on the Fengbao, drew their bows and shot down.

Under such terrain, although the Tang army came aggressively, the attack was severely restricted by the terrain. The soldiers climbed along the mountain trails or with hook cables, while the arrows from above fell like rainstorms and hailstones. Arrows fell from soldiers constantly.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Yi, who was in light armor, organized and maintained the offensive while ordering to rescue the casualties.If there is any hopeless battle in this world, it is undoubtedly the one in front of you. Although the soldiers of the Tang army were brave, they couldn't even touch the corners of the enemy's clothes, and they died on the way to attack.

"Reporting to the captain, there are already three hundred dead..."

Before the soldier entered, he reported that his tone was trembling.These fierce soldiers in the army who were clearly able to stand up to ten were completely powerless under the fierce counterattack of the Japanese army.

Li Yi's Adam's apple twitched slightly when he heard the words, and he let out a muffled hum from the end of his nose, bloodshot eyes were already hidden in his eyes.After accepting this task and conducting field visits, he knew that the task was arduous, but since he had received the military order, he must complete it.

After several rounds of offensives, the Tang army was still unable to establish a stable offensive stronghold on the mountainside, but the number of casualties was still increasing. Finally, a soldier commander couldn't help but came forward and said tremblingly: "Lieutenant, the mountain is dangerous, it is really dangerous!" ..."

"The army is as hungry and thirsty as fire. There are no three kinds of self-defeating, taking the fort or dying!"

Attacking such a dangerous place, skills and the like are secondary, only the indomitable momentum supports it, if the momentum is no longer, everything will be suspended.

With several rounds of fierce attacks, the arrow counterattack on the beacon gradually weakened. Although the Fan army had an absolute advantage in location, the consumption of physical strength and equipment was still a major constraint for them.

Sensing that the enemy's counterattack was weak, without Li Yi's further order, the officers and men organized another round of more violent attacks. Several of them carried heavy shields on their shoulders, and finally reached one third of the mountainside. Using the body to firmly support the large shield, it was difficult to get stuck between two protruding rocks.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Tang army at the foot of the mountain cheered, and Li Yi also said excitedly: "Shooting beginners, climb the peak!"

Several skilled archers held big bows and crossbows, and arrow pots hanging from their waists. They climbed up the rock like spirit apes, and soon reached the bottom of the big shield. The super powerful bows and crossbows were full of strings. Fiercely piercing through the air, he slammed directly on the wall of the beacon castle. Although he did not cause any direct damage, it gave the guards in the castle awe, and they did not dare to lean forward and shoot unscrupulously.

The counterattack in the castle was somewhat suppressed, and the generals of the Tang army were greatly encouraged. They once again attacked the peak with their flesh and blood, and successfully set up several large shields along the mountain. The distance of several feet.

The results were gratifying. Just when the Tang soldiers were about to go all out and continue to launch a strong attack, suddenly the beacon castle changed another way of counterattack, and many stones larger than human heads were smashed down, although some of them were stuck in the ground when they rolled down. Among the peaks, but there are still many direct hits on the large shield.

Then there was such a heavy blow on a big shield that it was hard to support, and it burst open with a bang, and the soldiers of the Tang army sheltered behind the big shield were suddenly exposed, some rolled down the mountain, and some were hit and their blood splashed!

"Damn the thieves!"

Seeing such a tragic scene, Li Yi's eyes were shattered. What's more terrible is that after several storms, Tang Jun's fresh troops were not much left. There are more than 500 people left.

"Captain, don't force yourself..."

Our own side has already suffered heavy casualties. If we want to capture such a dangerous fortress, we need to invest several times or even ten times more troops. After several rounds of storming, there is no breakthrough. The Fan army on the fort also noticed this. Some of the Fan soldiers had even walked out of the beacon castle, brandishing their sabers and grinning, they walked towards the wounded left among the mountains after the Tang army failed to attack.

Li Yi's eyes were completely red at this moment, he pushed away the soldier who stepped forward to dissuade him, bent down and grabbed a shield that had been soaked in blood, held the horizontal knife in his hand, and raised his leg to face Fengling. Rushing forward: "The sage ruled vigorously, the country is prosperous, and the common people are still six feet strong, the eldest son is not afraid of spilling blood on the frontier!"

Seeing Li Yi rushing towards Fengling like a madman, the soldiers who were already exhausted up and down Fengling were greatly encouraged again, with their remaining courage, they rushed straight to the peak.

The Tibetan army on the peak repulsed the Tang army's attack several times. They had already descended the peak with a relaxed mood, ready to reap the remaining military exploits, but unexpectedly, the Tang army broke out again and became even more unstoppable.At this time, all kinds of long-range attack equipment in the beacon castle have been exhausted, even if there are some leftovers, it is difficult to form a violent blocking attack.

Li Yi was still in front of Zhang Dun, but soon felt that the arrows were sparse, so he simply threw down the shield. He saw a pawn stabbing the fallen wounded with a spear, kicked his feet, and forcefully Through the edge of the blade, with a single slash, the fan's body is already decapitated!

"A mere dog, dare to block the destiny? Die! Die! Die!"

He killed the enemy with a single blow, his ankles were stunned, and the tigers followed him like a shadow. Even though the panicked soldiers on the peak did not insert their bids, they were like selling their heads.With a knife in hand, kill a barbarian who is timid, kill a Liubari guest suit, kill a prosperous Tang Dynasty!

Chapter 0948 greedy for merit, death as home

The exposure of the Tang army's arrangement in front of Niu Xindui made the soldiers of the Fan army on the slope feel the pressure, and the restlessness that was eager to fight before quickly disappeared without a trace.

Although these soldiers of the Fan army all boasted of their bravery, the disastrous defeat of the troops ahead still brought them a lot of psychological shadow. I don't think this tone seems to be unbearable, but the overall situation should be the most important thing!

Although all the officers and men became peaceful, the chief general Wei Donggong felt a lot of worries in his heart.He noticed that Tang Jun on the opposite side was a little weird, so he couldn't help thinking about the reason and purpose of it.

Standing outside the Fengbao on the top of the slope and looking down, the dams built by the Japanese army cut off the Chishui River. One side of the river has already dried up, exposing the muddy river, and the other side is full of water, sparkling under the sunshine. .

As the most important river in the region, Chishui has many tributaries flowing in along the undulating mountains, causing the water level of the upper river to rise continuously.

Although the Fan army also fully considered the variables when formulating this timing, as time went by, the river gradually surged, which has already put a lot of pressure on the ditches and dams, so the Fan army had to continue to send more labor. Continue to strengthen and increase the height of the dam, and also dig new valleys for water storage and distribution.

After all, the water in Qinghai is erratic. When it warms up, the ice and snow melt water will flow freely. This year there may be only three or five tributaries, and next year this number may double.Even if the Fan army can control the main river, they cannot completely block it from the source.

On the already extremely high river embankment, hordes of foreign laborers worked hard to build the embankment like ants. Wei Donggong's eyes lingered here for a moment, and then shifted to several surrounding hills.

As his thoughts flowed, Wei Donggong could already be sure that the bull's head piled down in the Tang camp should be a bluff, even if there were armored soldiers stationed, the number would certainly not be many.

Although it is also difficult for him to send scouts to carry out systematic investigations, some factors are actual limitations.The Chishui was cut off and there was not enough water to maintain it. It was absolutely impossible for the Tang army to garrison large-scale troops here. Even if people could bear a little hunger and thirst, the cattle, horses and animals must be replenished with enough water.

Without enough cavalry mobility, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army will be greatly reduced. If a large-scale gathering here is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, the general of the Tang army must not be so stupid.

But if Tang Ying was just bluffing, what was his purpose?Is it just to intimidate and harass the foreign army on Niu Xindui?

As an outstanding member of Webster's family, Wei Donggong is both wise and brave, and is also good at analyzing himself from the perspective of the enemy.With the Fan army controlling the main water flow in this area, the Tang army's war environment has become extremely passive. Under such circumstances, any move of manpower and material resources must be cautious and cannot be wasted.

The arrangement of the camp by the Tang army on the opposite side did have a certain impact on the defenders of Niuxindui, but in the final analysis, the initiative is still in the hands of the foreign army, and it is not up to the Tang army to decide whether to fight or stick to it. It is not meaningful.

Changing places, Wei Donggong felt that if he were the general of the Tang army, he would never do such a meaningless thing, unless there were other measures to cooperate.So where does Tang Jun's real killing move mean?

After pondering for a while, Wei Donggong raised his hand, recruited a few cronies and told him: "The battalions around the order must be strictly defended, and don't relax..."

He hadn't finished speaking here, but his expression suddenly changed, because a beam of wolf smoke appeared in his vision, billowing into the sky from a mountain peak northeast of Niuxindui.

"As expected, as expected!"

Seeing the warning smoke rising, Wei Donggong's eyes rose slightly, and he felt that he had grasped the real intention of the chief general of the Tang army, which was to divide his troops and break down the defense lines of the foreign army one by one!

There are also varying numbers of foreign troops stationed in the mountains around Niuxindui. One is to control the water source of the mountain stream, and the other is to echo with Niuxindui to form a complete line of defense.

Now the Tang army is bluffing on the plain in front of Niuxindui to attract the attention of the foreign army here, but they have scattered the real troops to other places, trying to conquer other strongholds to break through. The warning signal at this moment is the most direct Proof!

After realizing Tang Jun's true intentions, instead of panicking, Wei Donggong breathed a sigh of relief.Threats that cannot be seen or guessed are fatal, but if the tricks are exposed, it is enough to respond positively.

Moreover, Tang Jun's intention can be said to be well-regulated, not a whimsical conspiracy. Such a reaction was also expected by the Fan Jun, and several plans were prepared to deal with it.

Although there are not as many soldiers stationed in the surrounding strongholds as Niuxindui, they do not have the restriction that Niuxindui is close to the source of Chishui, so the location selection gives full play to the advantages of the terrain, mostly easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the same time, be on the point.

The warning standards of each stronghold are not the same. It is not to warn immediately after encountering an enemy situation, but the guards need to conduct actual screening and consideration, and only when they are sure that the invading enemy can indeed pose a threat will they warn.This is also to prevent small groups of the Tang army from fleeing and harassing, making the Tibetan army exhausted to support all parties.After all, the mountain road is rugged, which is not a small test for both parties.

A beam of smoke rose, which meant that the Tang army was attacking fiercely there, and the defenders already felt the danger of falling.Therefore, Wei Donggong immediately ordered 300 people from the Niuxindui battalion to carry bows and arrows to support them, and at the same time smoked on Niuxindui and ordered other strongholds to come to the rescue.

Wei Donggong was still arranging things in an orderly manner, but what happened next made him no longer calm, and gradually became panicked.

A warning beacon rose like a signal, and then within a very short period of time, smoke signals rose from all directions around the Niu Xindui. Every beacon that went straight into the sky meant that a place was fighting fiercely. On the battlefield, more than a dozen battles started at the same time, covering almost all the strongholds of the Fan army in this area!

"Is Tang Jun crazy?"

Wei Donggong was still firmly guessing that the Tang army would not approach in large numbers, and even though he was beaten by reality, these dozens of battles started at the same time, which meant that the Tang army was divided into more than a dozen groups, and each route made the defenders feel great. threaten.

Leaving aside various hard-to-quantify factors such as morale and combat effectiveness, the input of troops alone requires at least [-] people!And if you want to cover such a huge battlefield atmosphere in a short period of time, then the horses providing mobility must be twice as many as the soldiers participating in the battle!

Looking around from the top of Niuxindui Slope, dozens of columns of smoke rise into the sky as far as the eye can see.But in the eyes of the generals on the slope, there was a sense of real pressure and deterrence, and the morale of the army was shaken and panicked. The soldiers subconsciously gathered around to ask the general for instructions on how to deal with it.

Of course, so many pillars of smoke warning for help rose at the same time, which itself revealed a strange feeling.It must be known that there are only a dozen strongholds stationed by the Fan army in the surrounding area, and the rest are undoubtedly the tricks of the Tang army to confuse them.

It is not easy to confuse such an important military aircraft communication method.Fan army's wolf smoke fuel has been specially prepared. Once it is burned, not only is the smoke full, but the smoke color also has a special mark, which can be easily identified. Most generals who lead the army have common sense of identification, so naturally they will not be seen everywhere. Tang Jun, who was setting off the smoke, was bewildered.

But once this panic atmosphere is created, the ordinary soldiers do not have a high level of rational recognition. They will only feel that the Tang army has launched a full-scale attack, and all strongholds have been attacked without exception, even if there is no Tang army in their field of vision. The soldiers came and went, and the mood suddenly became panic.

In the Niuxindui camp that had stabilized just now, as the smoke rose successively, it became restless again. Many generals came to Wei Donggong, asking how to deal with it.

Wei Donggong can still maintain a little calm at the moment. Although the dozens of smoke columns are extremely dazzling, he can also clearly identify that there are still no alarm signals near several important strongholds, which means that Tang Jun's seemingly turbulent offensive is still going on. There are huge loopholes, and there is insufficient understanding of the overall defense arrangement of the Fan army.

But even so, Wei Donggong's heart is still quite heavy. Tang Jun suddenly threw so many troops into battle, which has gone against his previous guess. Some judgments can't help but be overturned in my heart.

Wei Donggong was irritated by the noisy repeated requests from the generals. He stood on the top of the slope and walked up and down. deeper.

All the strongholds were attacked at the same time, so Wei Donggong didn't dare to make judgments. Right now, what makes him most anxious is to save or not to save?If it is not saved, several important strongholds will be pulled out, and the defense line set up by the Fan army will be destroyed. It is difficult to defend for a long time with Niu Xindui alone.But if we divide our troops to rescue, and we are afraid of Tang Jun's false tricks, once there are a large number of troops in the Tang camp to attack Niu Xindui, Niu Xindui will also be in danger!

"The Tang army's division of troops was chaotic, and there were many bluffs. They sent orders to all parties and stood firm. Reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Wei Donggong cheered up and planned to appease the defenders of all sides first, but the momentum created by the Tang army was too great, and he didn't know how effective this appeasement measure would be.

In the final analysis, the safety of Niu Xindui here is the most important thing.Once Niu Xindui fails to defend, all the previous strategies and arrangements of the Fan army will be useless.Although Wei Donggong still prefers that the opposite Tang camp is an empty camp, but right now he doesn't dare to take the risk to send troops to rescue everywhere.

Even if those strongholds are warnings, they may not be unable to defend them. Even if they cannot be defended, the damage they will cause will not be as important as Niu Xindui.For a moment, Wei Donggong even wanted to rein in the army, gather the troops stationed everywhere to Niu Xin, abandon the minor details, and stick to the fundamentals.But this is a strategy that is only needed in extremely critical situations, and right now it seems that...

Wei Donggong turned his gaze, and a new column of smoke rose in his field of vision. This column of smoke was thick and thick, and the direction it rose was also close to the side of Niuxindui, which was the Seabuckthorn Ridge on the opposite side of the Kuanzhang River!

"Hey... Seabuckthorn Ridge was also attacked? This, this...how could it be? What's going on here?"

The warning smoke signal from Shabuckthorn Ridge had already shocked Wei Donggong, but what frightened him even more was that the smoke column was cut off shortly after it rose, and without the follow-up smoke supplement, the original smoke column was also in mid-air Dissipates quickly.But the peak of Seabuckthorn Ridge is still shrouded in a lot of smoke.

In this scene, the defenders raised a warning smoke column, which was then extinguished by unknown reasons.Could it be that the crisis at Seabuckthorn Ridge has been lifted and the enemy has been repelled?

With a dignified expression on Wei Donggong's face, such a thought that was almost extravagant came into his mind uncontrollably, because he knew in his heart that this was impossible. This situation.

As for such a strange scene, the biggest possibility is that the defenders of Seabuckthorn Ridge immediately issued a warning after realizing the danger of falling. Warning smoke signal!

Seabuckthorn Ridge seemed to be lost, as if a heavy hammer had hit Wei Donggong's heart heavily. Under the excitement, his Adam's apple was trembling frequently. After more than ten breaths passed, he roared in a hoarse tone: " Order the castles, stop entangled with the enemy, and immediately return to the pile of cow hearts! Those who cannot return within the drum order, kill!"

The fall of Seabuckthorn Ridge brought great psychological shock to Wei Donggong, not only because it was close to Niu Xindui, but also because he knew that the terrain of Seabuckthorn Ridge was steep and ranked among the top among all the beacon strongholds set up around it.Even Seabuckthorn Ridge was easily breached by the Tang army, and the situation of other strongholds under attack must be worrying.

Instead of falling in love with those strongholds and dividing the troops outside and being defeated by the Tang army, it is better to gather the scattered troops at Niu Xindui to ensure the safety of Niu Xindui, and then ask for help from the rear to try to defend for a longer time.

Following Wei Donggong's order, a puff of thick smoke rose from Niuxindui Beacon Fort, which was much thicker than other places, and it rolled towards the sky under the agitation of heat, and at the same time, the sound of thick drums resounded through the mountains.This is an assembly order of the highest level. Once such an order is issued, no matter what the foreign troops in the area are doing, they must drop everything and assemble towards Niu Xindui.

Since the battle, the Tang army has a good understanding of the order system of the Fan army. As the order of the Niuxindui camp came out, there was a new reaction in the Tang camp.

Along the way, thousands of soldiers surrounded the former army commander Guo Zhiyun, walked out of the camp, and went straight to the line of defense below the Niu Xindui. Heavy-duty attacking and killing equipment, with a look of confidence.

The area of ​​Niu Xindui was huge, and even if a mere thousand armored soldiers opened up their formation, they would be weak and fragile, and they couldn't even resist a round of charge by the cavalry on the opposite side, and they were about to collapse.Tang Jun's actions like this were naturally defiant and extremely arrogant, but at this time the foreign troops on the slope were already panicked, and they were completely in no mood to pay attention to Tang Jun's provocation again.

"Anyone who dares to cross the ravine will be shot!"

Guo Zhiyun issued the military order in his spare time, and at the same time he rode his horse to parade behind the thin soldiers, looking at the mountains where the smoke was rolling, and a tricky smile was already on the corner of his mouth.

Although the situation in the war is turbulent, there are always some fundamental elements that will not change much.Wei Donggong guessed at first that the Tang Army's camp was just a bluff and that there were not many troops stationed there, which was correct.

At present, the thousands of soldiers led by Guo Zhiyun are all the troops in the Tang army camp. Although there seem to be other troops assembled in the camp, they are all soldiers who are camped and labored, and their combat effectiveness is very low. , I can only beat the drums and blow the horns, and walk around carrying the flag, which is a real bluff.

Without sufficient water sources, the troops of the Tang army were greatly restricted when they advanced and retreated. Except for those who were assigned to attack the various strongholds of the Fan army, it was really difficult to station more troops in the camp.

So right now the Tang army is indeed out in full force. If the tentative foreign troops just rushed to the camp, the emptiness of the Tang army camp will naturally be seen through at a glance, and all Guo Zhiyun can do is to abandon the camp and flee. It is really difficult for thousands of soldiers to hold the camp.

But after all, the Fan army didn't dare to test it to the end, so now that the hole cards are lifted, it is naturally time for Guo Zhiyun to show off his power.

Of course, Guo Zhiyun led the crowd to approach Niu Xindui not only to continue to provoke the Fan army, but also to prevent the Fan army from jumping over the wall and rushing down from the hillside.

Thousands of soldiers seem to be small in number, but they carry sufficient long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. The anti-horse and trench defenses of the Fan army have now become a solid line of defense for the Tang army.As long as the foreign troops on the slope dare to approach here, they will be shot and killed by fierce arrows!

After the defense line was pulled up, the flags, drum horns and other utensils distributed by the soldiers in the camp at the rear were also collected, and then many ox carts and horse carts were driven out of the camp, and many wooden carts were tied to the carts. Utensils such as barrels and clay pots traveled along the plains to the mountains around Niu Xindui.

Fan general Wei Donggong believed that it would be difficult for the Tang army to attack on a large scale, which is indeed true under normal circumstances.But at present, the Tang army still invests tens of thousands of soldiers and launched an attack on more than ten strongholds of the Fan army. Capture those enemy strongholds, these will not be a problem!

Although Chishuiyuan is an important river in the region, it is not the only one.There are still many mountain streams and springs among the mountains here. Although the Tang army was unable to fully understand this because of the guest army's combat, the Japanese army stationed here and naturally needed their own water needs.

Therefore, as long as the strongholds of the Fan army are targeted and attacked, as long as these strongholds are conquered, even if the constraints brought by the water source cannot be completely resolved, they will inevitably be greatly alleviated.

Although the territory here is vast and the strategic depth is great, but when the two sides compete for the water source, it is a true encounter on a narrow road and the brave wins!

Guo Zhiyun had the guts to put all his eggs in one basket and dispatched troops from all walks of life to attack all the Fan army strongholds that had been investigated at the same time, but the Fan army did not have the courage to rely on a complete line of defense that had been built to repel the surging attack of the Tang army.Which one wins and which loses is naturally clear!

With the help of the more than a thousand soldiers of the Tang army, relying on the solid defense line of the Fan army, to firmly block the Fan army on the slope, the water transport convoy can roam the plains unscrupulously, heading towards the water sources that have been successively attacked. land.

At this time on the top of the slope, seeing Tang Jun put on such a posture, Wei Donggong finally realized all Tang Jun's intentions belatedly, and he was depressed and ashamed.But now that the military order to withdraw to Niu Xindui has been issued, and the defenders from all sides have been separated, even if the military order is changed, it will not help the matter and will only cause greater chaos!

The people from all walks of life of the Fan Army withdrew back to Niuxindui one after another, and the troops of the Tang Army also received good news, and began to busily drink horses and fetch water for transportation at the water source near the Fengbao abandoned by the Fan Army.

This kind of transportation method is inevitably inefficient, but at least it can guarantee the water consumption of the current people and horses, so that the people ahead can gain a firm foothold under the pile of beef hearts.

After the battle was over, except for some troops who stayed behind in a few dangerous places, the others escorted the water tanker back to Niuxindui one after another, and the empty camp on the plain became full. It is as difficult as climbing the sky to attack, the ditch they dug alone has become a chasm!

Guo Zhiyun returned to the camp after deploying troops in front of the ditch, and began to collect the battle reports of various troops.This battle started from many sides. The Tang army, as the attacking side, in order to create a sense of oppression for the foreign army in a very short period of time, the Tang army from all walks of life also fought bravely, and the same casualties were also extremely astonishing.

Among them, the most astonishing loss was the group led by Li Yi to attack the Seabuckthorn Ridge.Seabuckthorn Ridge is quite prominent because it is close to Niuxindui, and the terrain is also very steep, so Guo Zhiyun arranged more than 2000 elite soldiers to attack.

But even so, Guo Zhiyun and the generals still didn't think that Li Yi's troops would be able to capture Seabuckthorn Ridge. They only hoped that Li Yi's offensive would be able to oppress the foreign army together with other places, but they didn't expect that Li Wei's troops would be able to do so Brave and brave, he not only conquered Seabuckthorn Ridge in one battle, but even took the lead in time.

Although Guo Zhiyun didn't watch the battle in person, he could guess that the loss of Seabuckthorn Ridge would inevitably bring a great sense of oppression to Niuxindui. That's why he called all the troops back to defend Niuxindui so that Tang Jun After that, the attack became extremely smooth.Therefore, Guo Zhiyun was also judging in his heart, the first victory in this battle should be recorded on the head of Li Yi.

With such brilliant results, the battle was naturally extremely tragic.Li Wei led more than 300 elite soldiers into the battle, but when the troops from the rear arrived and cleaned the battlefield, there were less than [-] soldiers left alive, and everyone was injured, even Li Yi was stabbed in the head , and fell in front of the gate of the Shabuckthorn Ridge Beacon Fort.
