Chapter 996: Taking a Risk and Seizing a Key Location

Zhaxi Kure did not blame the slaves who turned around and ran away first, even though slaves had no human rights.

The crossbowmen were arrayed behind the sword and shield soldiers and were responsible for firing forward from the back when the two sides engaged in battle, hitting the people behind the enemy.

Before they could make contact, the front was blown up by the sky-high monkeys. How could the archers face the enemy's sword and shield soldiers?

Speaking of which, the cavalry was even worse, boom, boom, the horses were startled.

Watching the Tang cavalry first rain down a wave of arrows, and then wielding sabers to use the advantages of formation and speed to kill in.

"Alas!" Zhaxi Kure felt powerless listening to the groans and painful cries of the injured soldiers who escaped from the camp.

The soldiers who escaped from outside could not eat, but they could tell others how they lost.

They told the people who helped them stop the Tang soldiers from chasing them about what they had experienced, and then the morale of these people was weakened.

The two sides did not make contact at all, and they started bombarding at a distance of thousands of steps, killing dozens or hundreds of people with one bombardment.

If I stood there and got bombed...

For a moment, everyone was in a very depressed mood. Those who did not participate in the battle asked about the process in detail. They hoped to survive the battle as much as possible.

Guo Zhiyun waited for the soldiers to finish their meal. He hesitated for a moment and asked the soldiers to line up again.

Then twenty hot air balloons took off, and the people below used ropes to pull the hot air balloons to move.

Twenty vehicles were also pushed out by the sky monkeys. The injured stayed behind, and the others were in charge of the vehicles.

The vehicles were loaded with tools, wood, nails and other things.

Some vehicles were loaded with tents, pots and stoves and other items.

The team moved forward in a mighty manner. After an hour and a half, the Tubo scouts found them. The Tang Dynasty did not send scouts at all, but just watched with hot air balloons.

It was getting dark, and Zhaxi Kure got the intelligence. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to issue the order to retreat.

They couldn't fight. They just lost. The morale was too low. If the Tang Dynasty beat those who did not participate in the battle again, it would be completely over.

The Tubo army hurriedly packed up their things and ran. Some things were thrown there without time to pack up, and there was no idea of ​​defense.

As they retreated, the Tang soldiers lit torches and continued to follow behind.

The cavalry rushed out, ready to find an opportunity to raid or circle and shoot.

The Tubo cavalry came up, and both sides circled together.

The speed of Tubo's retreat accelerated, and everyone ran, and some heavy things were simply thrown away.

Not only did they throw things, but the wounded who couldn't keep up with the team were also thrown away. They had to figure out a way.

"The Modao soldiers put down their swords, send someone to guard, and the others continue to move forward. The whirlwind cannons will walk slowly behind, no rush."

The order conveyed by the Tang army team, the Modao soldiers put down their swords and armor.

The soldiers didn't know what to do, they kept moving forward, and the enemy retreated all the way, and they couldn't hit anyone.

In the middle of the night, everyone took a short break, ate some compressed biscuits and drank a few sips of water, and continued to move forward.

When it was dawn, many injured Tubo soldiers and things thrown away by the Tubo team were picked up along the way.

Including weapons, tents, tools, the Tubo people have been retreating. Some people feel that they are not strong enough, and others don't care, so they throw things away.

"Set up camp, here, there is a small river here, set up camp in front after crossing."

Another order was issued, and the Tang soldiers felt exhausted. This is not a battle, but a journey. They run during the day and travel all night at night.

The car behind came over and crossed the river. Everyone just made a few bites of food and rested for half an hour.

Dig trenches, assemble chevaux de frise, pile up earth slopes, and build camps.

The troops in front of the Longyou Jiedushi also moved. They got up early and moved forward with baggage.

If you see weapons piled up on the road, pile them up again and send people to guard them.

The Modao soldiers took them and sent them to the front.

The Tubo captives who fell behind were gathered together and guarded by people. They were given water to drink, but no food. The injured were given some dried rice soaked in water to drink.

"Look, we have taken two-thirds of the Jiuqu area." Guo Zhiyun said to Wang Junkui with a smile, his face full of fatigue.

Wang Junkui stared at Guo Zhiyun: "You are really crazy, too brave."

He understood the situation. There were no more explosive packs on the hot air balloon, and the rockets brought from the back were only the last twenty carts.

The men and horses were tired, and they should rest for a few days.

As a result, Guo Zhiyun took a gamble, betting that Tubo had no fighting spirit and could not fight.

If it succeeded, Tubo would run away, and after this run, Tubo would not be able to recover quickly.

Many things were thrown on the road, including the wounded and those who had no strength to flee during the day.

Now it's good, the entire Jiuqu, two-thirds of the place has been taken down, and a military camp has been built.

In fact, it occupies one-third, but this one-third has good terrain, and the Tubo army cannot stand in front of a series of military camps of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tubo army must retreat dozens of miles, otherwise the hot air balloons in the sky will always stare at them.

This is equivalent to occupying two-thirds, gaining a larger strategic operating space, and there are more flat land and grasslands.

At least the horses in the army don't need to carry fodder from behind, the disadvantage is that the supply line is extended, and the Longyou soldiers need to help.

Guo Zhiyun is a liar, and Tubo doesn't know that he has no explosives.

"Tubo can't recover in ten days or half a month." Guo Zhiyun is in a good mood.

If the Tubo soldiers retreated before, this time they were demoralized and fled before fighting.

Even the people in the Qianhu camp in Jiuqu also ran away, and the people only felt that their soldiers were not good enough.

After losing a lot of tools and weapons, it was not easy for the fleeing Tubo team to organize people to come back.

On the way, they also picked up some slow-moving cattle and sheep. They drove the sheep away, and the flock was in chaos. The Tubo people had no time to collect them.

I believe that if we dig in the Tubo Qianhu here, we can find a cellar.

There will be food in the cellar, and even people hiding there. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Wang Junkui shook his head: "Half a month is not enough. The Tubo team of tens of thousands of people is completely finished. It will take a lot of time for other troops to replace them."

The villages are divided one by one, and there is a distance between them to ensure water sources and height.

The villages must be able to communicate with each other, and tents are set up in the middle and back of the villages.

Stacked up, this is the real marching and camping.

The horses are placed at the back, and the transport vehicles are placed even further back.

There is no food and grass, waiting for the troops from Longyou to help, and there are other troops that have not come yet.

In other words, Liangzhou is short of troops. Write a letter back and ask the Lanzhou army to replenish Liangzhou. Lanzhou does not need so many people.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were tired, but they gritted their teeth and persisted. They knew that they could rest in peace only after the camp was built.

Some sheep without calves were killed, and some cellars were found. Sure enough, there were things and people.

There were even a few wells that the Tibetans did not have time to fill, which shows how panicked they were when the strategy shifted.

Guo Zhiyun wrote the battle report and wrote the actual situation in it. He did not brag or talk nonsense. At the same time, he said that his side had great logistical needs.

He dared not brag. What if the court saw his bragging and took it seriously? How could he defend without giving him anything?
