Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chapter 60 Supplies ambushed

After Li Shimin sent Yuchi Baoqi and his son to Songzhou City to stop the Tibetans, he informed the ministers of the matter at the court meeting the next day and asked them to open up the follow-up material channels without delay.

Changsun Wuji had no expression on his face but was extremely irritable in his heart. After leaving the court, he came to the tavern and opened the door of the private room to see Narmo already waiting for him.

"This is different from what was promised. You said you would give me their route and plan. Why did you find me now that they set off?" Narmo stared at Changsun Wuji like a poisonous snake.

"They were marching in a hurry at night. It was already daytime when I received the news. Can your people still catch up?" Changsun Wuji was also very anxious.

"Try it, double the iron content. My people have already set off, whether it succeeds or not, I will see something tomorrow." Narmo took a sip of wine and stared at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and left the private room.

Narmo's people followed the traces of Tianwei's army. A group of people in black robes and black veils followed the trail quickly, but they arrived at the dense forest outside Songzhou City one day later than Tianwei's army.

The leader outside Songzhou City said fiercely: "This horse is not as good as our Tubo horse, and it is still one step behind them. Let's see if they have any plans to leave the city tomorrow, and send an order to intercept them outside the city then!"

"Report! There is a baggage team behind, and the clothes are the same as what is written in the intelligence. It should be the supplies escorted by the Tianwei Army." The messenger hurriedly informed the leader of the discovery of the horse exploration station.

"Get ready quickly and follow me to intercept and kill them. I don't believe you can stay in Songzhou City without leaving!" Then he got on his horse and gathered more than [-] dead soldiers.

They are said to be dead soldiers, but in fact they are all spies planted by Tubo in the Tang Dynasty. These people are basically mixed blood, and they are all born to the women of the Tang Dynasty who were snatched by Tubo. They are looked down upon by people in Tubo, so they can only come to the Tang Dynasty to work as spies.

The 100 people in the fifth queue of Tianwei Army have 30 people placed at the beginning, middle and end of the team, so that they can respond quickly when encountering enemies.

Shi Kuan, the captain of the fifth team, was a very cautious person and walked at the front of the team. Since there are no extra manpower to act as scouts, he can only rely on his many years of combat experience to discover hidden dangers.

"Captain, we are less than a hundred miles away from Songzhou City. Do you want to speed up the march and arrive at Songzhou City as soon as possible?" asked the leader of the civilians responsible for escorting the supplies.

Shi Kuan said nothing, staring at the dense forest in front of him.

Suddenly Shi Kuan shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking! Everyone! Pile the trucks and baggage into a ring and prepare to meet the enemy! The Tianwei Army is at the outermost perimeter, and the civilians are responsible for loading bullets. Move quickly!"

Before all the civilians could understand what was going on, the Tianwei Army had already begun to act according to the captain's order. All the cars and goods were piled on the outermost side, followed by a hundred Heavenly Majesty's Army, and at the innermost side were three or four hundred civilians.

Before they were completely settled, Narmo's men rushed out of the dense forest and charged at the entire formation brandishing their long knives.

Seeing the number of people on the other side that was several times his own, Shi Kuan roared angrily: "The Mighty Heavenly Army! Shoot alternately, keep close range and hit!" He took out a rifle grenade and fired at the spot where the people on the other side were gathering.

"Boom!" A rifle grenade exploded in the crowd, and iron pieces and steel pillars hit them. The ground was full of severed limbs, blood, and horse corpses. There was also a Tibetan soldier whose stomach was cut open by an iron piece. , the intestines slipped out uncontrollably.

With every gunshot, young lives lose their present, past and future. They continue one after another, just for the iron materials that are no longer valuable in the Tang Dynasty, that's all.

He saw that most of his side was damaged, but he hadn't touched a hair on the opponent's side yet. Narba's heart was bleeding. These people were all brought by him from Tubo. When they came, he promised to bring them glory and wealth, but now their lives were cut off like rice by the mighty army of heaven. What are those poles in their hands, and why do their people begin to fall in pieces when they point them in their direction? Why can they attract thunder to kill us? Sadhu Aisan, are you no longer attached to your people?

Narba reined in his horse and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat!"

Even though his men had retreated in time, they were still shot dead by the Tianwei Army. After completely leaving the shooting range of the Tianwei Army, and seeing that there were not many of the more than [-] people left, Narba's eyes went dark and he fell down from his horse.

Seeing that the enemy had completely retreated, Shi Kuan ordered: "Everyone check the weapons, equipment, and supplies for damage. The team is on alert, and some people will follow me to clean the battlefield!"

Relying on the peripheral ring fortifications and the powerful firepower support, this ambush did not cause any casualties to the team. While cleaning the battlefield, I found a person who was knocked unconscious by a grenade. I tied him up and threw him aside.

After commanding the corpses to be buried, Shi Kuan looked at the getting darker sky and ordered the Tianwei Army to camp on the spot and start their journey again tomorrow.

"Find two people who are good at archery and equestrian skills. Go quickly." Shi Kuan shouted to his adjutant.

"Report! Tag Su Lie!"

"Report! Mark Xue Rengui!"

Shi Kuan said: "I want you all to go to Songzhou City to deliver the message now, fully armed. Do you dare?"

The two of them clasped their fists and said, "I'll take my orders." Then they went to order all the equipment. After a short rest, they took the equipment and rode horses towards Songzhou City.

"Captain! That tongue is awake. Do you want to interrogate me?" A soldier came over to report.

Shi Kuan was arranging for people to bury the pots to make rice. When he heard that the prisoner woke up, he asked: "Does anyone here know how to speak Tubo? Go and ask if there is anyone. If there is, let him interrogate him."

"Yes! I'll ask you now." After hearing this, the soldier turned and left.

Shi Kuan thought for a while that he would go and have a look, but after asking around, no one understood the Tubo dialect.

Shi Kuan was in trouble, touched his chin and said, "Don't feed him, just give him two meals a day. And don't ask him anything. There will definitely be someone who understands Tubo dialect when we get to Songzhou City. We'll ask him then."

After Narba woke up, he fled with his people and found a ravine as a temporary base. The counting personnel found that only 72 people escaped, including himself, and only 72 people of more than [-] riders escaped.

Narba punched the stone and his brother was deceived. The opponent's weapons and equipment, battle formations, and on-the-spot reactions are all at the ceiling level. Even if such an enemy brings 3000 people, he may not be able to get benefits. Five hundred of his own would not spare a piece of armor from those who were killed by one hundred, but his five hundred were originally intended to fight against five hundred.

Looking at the 72 people who escaped, their faces were pale and their hands and feet were shaking. Occasionally I would feel frightened when I heard some noises, for fear that the other party was chasing me.

"They are devils! What they are holding is the devil's demon weapon. It must be like this! We will all die, we will all die! Ahhh" one of them's psychological defense has collapsed.

Narba knew that the operation had failed, and he ordered others to restrain the man.

"We'll just stay here tonight. We'll go back early tomorrow morning. I'll definitely take you back." Narba comforted everyone.
