Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Xue Rengui and Su Lie were scouting each other's horses all the way, driving quickly and vigilantly. As the day dawned, they saw the huge outline of Songzhou City from a distance.

Yuchi Baoqi was still planning the route into Tubo with Wei Yongyi. He used the three-dimensional map and Wei Yongyi's dictation to determine the final route. When they were almost done, the two of them realized that it was almost dawn.

Yuchi Baoqi was just about to go to bed when he heard reports from the soldiers guarding the city outside.

"Report! There are two cavalry outside the city requesting to enter the city. They have something important to report. They claim to be soldiers of the fifth column of the Tianwei Army, and the captain is Shi Kuan."

Yuchi Baoqi walked quickly to the top of the city and saw that both of them were wearing the equipment of the Mighty Heavenly Army. He hurriedly asked: "What important matter can you tell me? I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Mighty Heavenly Army!"

"Report! Our troops were ambushed. Colonel Shi Kuan led his troops to fight back in self-defense. They killed more than 380 enemies and captured one person. No one in our troops was injured or killed. The captain ordered repairs in place and will transport supplies again today." Su Lie used his shouted to Yuchi Baoqi with a loud voice.

Yuchi Baoqi saw that the military information was reported according to the Tianwei Army's internal method, and he knew that the two of them did not have someone open the city gate after careful preparation.

"Take the two of them to rest. I'm going to rest too. If I'm still sleeping when the supplies arrive, remember to wake me up." Yuchi Baoqi said to the defenders.

Three people and two horses were walking on the street to the barracks. Yuchi Baoqi asked: "Colonel Shi asked you to deliver the message. You must be good soldiers in the army. What are your names? Also, tell me about the specific situation of the battle. I know it is Who set a trap for you?"

"Go back to the Commander-in-Chief, and mark Su Lie, his name is Xue Rengui. There was no cover near the battle, so we arranged the goods in a circular fortification. Protect the civilian husband in the innermost place, and the soldiers outside. The civilian husband helped the soldiers load the bullets into the magazines. , handed the grenades. The soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and a few grenades were thrown well and directly hit the opponent's crowd, blowing them all to pieces."

Yuchi Baoqi didn't listen much to the people behind him, and was a little excited: "You said your name is Su Lie? His name is Xue Rengui? How about you follow me from now on, break away from the scope of the fifth column and become my personal guard. It seems that I have really caught someone. Tongue, but no one understands the Tibetan language.”

The people behind Yuchi Baoqi didn't listen much, and were a little excited: "You said your name is Su Lie? His name is Xue Rengui? How about you follow me from now on, break away from the scope of the fifth column and become my personal guard."

Su Lie and Xue Rengui were both a little embarrassed: "Captain, it's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that we have followed the captain for many years through life and death. Even if we want to become the captain's personal guard, we have to ask the captain first."

Seeing that both of them thought so, Yuchi Baoqi said: "Okay, after you ask me, come if you can, just come if you can't, but your combat ability will be unlimited in this self-defense counterattack against Tibet." enlarge."

After arranging the arrangements for the two of them, Yuchi Baoqi took the opportunity to inspect the wounded barracks and was about to go to sleep. Another messenger came from outside. It was his father who arrived at Suoyang City and took over Suoyang City after repelling a wave of attacks.

Yuchi Baoqi returned to his room and opened the letter personally addressed to my son.

"Son, dad has captured Suoyang City. This place is similar to Songzhou City. There are basically no soldiers guarding the city. The remaining wounded soldiers of the Tianwei Army are also being treated. There are not many medical supplies left. We are waiting for the supplies to arrive. Come over as soon as you arrive, dad will have to stay here for a while, don't think about it."

Yuchi Baoqi thought for a while and wrote: "The supply team was ambushed and killed more than [-] enemies. We had no casualties. The supplies will be delayed a little later. When they arrive, they will send supplies to Suoyang City immediately. The first battle has been won, and the two sides have won. The disaster in the city has been resolved. I will write a note to Your Majesty. I have sent a letter to Zhuangzi and asked the craftsmen to come over and plow Songzhou City deeply."

After Yuchi Baoqi handed the letter to the messenger of Tianwei Army from Suoyang City, he climbed into bed and fell asleep.

Ludongzan knelt in the royal tent of Tubo, and Songtsen Gampo stood with his hands behind his back.

"Prime Minister, you said they can induce thunder from the sky to kill our soldiers? And they can kill our soldiers by pointing sticks at them?" Songtsen Gampo really couldn't imagine such a statement, but he didn't I believe Lu Dongzan would use such a poor excuse to excuse himself.

"Your Majesty, what I said and described is what I saw with my own eyes. A man from a thousand families was injured by thunder in front of me. His thighs could not stop bleeding and he died soon after. When I led people to evacuate, The ground was full of broken limbs and rotten flesh, and blood was spread all over the camp." Lu Dongzan said while kneeling and holding his head high.

Lu Dongzan did not feel that the problem in this battle was his own, nor was there any lack of command. It was the Buddha's blessing that he was not completely wiped out when he encountered such an enemy.

Songtsen Gampo asked him to get up. Said: "The Prime Minister has been my teacher since childhood, but can the teacher teach me the things they used in this battle?"

Lu Dongzan shook his head helplessly: "No one can control it, Your Majesty. How can I teach you something that I don't even know or understand myself?"

Songtsen Gampo said: "What about that? Just withdraw the troops, avoid their sharp edges, and wait until we find out what they are getting before we start fighting again?"

Lu Dongzan said: "There are not many of them. Their weapons are so powerful. If everyone had such weapons, they would have attacked the Tubo royal court long ago. I judge that they will not exceed a thousand people. In addition, this battle was attacked at night so we were unable to fight back. If it were to be a decisive battle on the plains, we might not be able to fight back!"

Songtsen Gampo nodded and called his guards: "Let the spies from Chang'an City check the troops equipped with new weapons. You must also know what those new weapons are."

Lu Dongzan also spoke at the side: "General! Find out who their general is! I must avenge and avenge my warriors!"

Suddenly hearing the sound of horse hooves outside, Lu Dongtsen and Songtsen Gampo were shocked and immediately walked out of the tent and looked into the distance. The soldiers in his camp are quickly organizing their equipment and preparing to mount their horses for battle.

I saw the army stopped five miles outside their camp, and came to the Tubo camp single-handedly.

"Lu Dongzan! Didn't you lead your people to besiege Songzhou City? Why did a team of 400 people march directly from Songzhou into our military camp? I, Tuyuhun, lost two thousand warriors in this battle. You Tubos want to give me an explanation! "The coming person is furious. Tuyuhun's own military strength is much weaker than that of Tubo. This time Tubo retreated without warning, which caused the loss of a lot of effective strength on our side.

Ludongzan and Songtsan Gampo saw that the person coming was Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, and immediately asked the sergeant to stop and go back to rest.

Songtsen Gampo comforted him and said: "The Prime Minister did not withdraw without telling you, nor did he sell you out. Our army was also attacked by that team. Night, thunder, and pitch-black sticks, right?"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly grabbed Fu Yun's shoulders: "Have you figured it out? Who are they? Are they humans or demons? What are their weapons? They killed more than [-] warriors in our army. The losses are no less than yours. , how could I not withdraw?”

Fu Yun listened to Lu Dongzan's words: "I don't know, the sky thunder, the black stick... Yes, that's what the people below said. It is said that as long as the black stick is pointed at a person, blood will appear on the person's body. .”
