Chapter 2304 Long Qiang and Tibetan Qiang, Xiping and Xihai

Beigong was extremely angry, but fell into self-doubt.

If it weren't for the death of the Qiang leader commanding the vanguard, Beigong would have really wanted to drag him in front of him, and then scold him and ask what happened to make three thousand people fight one thousand people. In the end, let alone victory, even I couldn't resist it for an hour...

The descriptions given by ordinary Qiang people are confusing and one-sided, and it is not clear what happened specifically. It seems that the Han people rushed up, and then the Qiang leader was killed, so everyone was in chaos and fled one after another.

That's all.

As for the details, many Qiang people stared blankly, at a loss. They could only describe Yun Er who killed the Qiang leader on the ground, but other aspects were really lacking.

Beigong looked up at the wolf smoke in the distance with a complicated expression.

At this moment, Beigong is like a man who has read 453 pirated copies of "The President Falls in Love with Me", "The Third Brother Gave Up the Country for Me" and other secret books, and then claims to be proficient in love for thirty years. With six passwords and seventy-two postures, he was full of confidence as soon as he left the novice village. He bumped into Gao Wutong, a master of teasing, and he was immediately confused and at a loss.

Was there an ambush?

If so, where exactly is the ambush?

If there is no ambush, what is this beacon used for?

Do you want to continue the pursuit now?

How to fight if you catch up?

If you don't pursue it, what should you do now?

Beigong's head was full of these problems, but when he wanted to solve these problems, he found that he didn't know what to do better. The methods he learned from pirated books were of no use at all, or He said he didn't know why this happened or what the right thing to do was.

Beigong has actually always lived in his own world. He thinks he is very smart, but in fact his cleverness is just a little cleverness. It is enough to take advantage of the Qiang people, but now he has to deal with these things. When it comes to big events, those little clever things can’t come to the fore.

Beigong felt that he could take advantage of chasing Gao Wutong, and he could eat some Han soldiers and horses for nothing, so he came excitedly, but after falling into the trap, he still didn't understand it, he just thought why it happened? Why are there pits here? I can't understand at all that the most important thing is not the trap, but Beigong's own habit of taking advantage of others.

Just like the old saying, there are no pitfalls in the world, but there are many people who are greedy for cheap...

Later, the hesitant Beigong was shocked again by an urgent military report!

Noduze's retreat was attacked by the Han army!

Beigong suddenly realized at this moment that he could not continue to pursue like this, otherwise once he was stuck in this place, even if he defeated Gao Wutong, what would be the point? Is it possible to abandon one's own foundation and run all the way to the Western Regions?

"Return to the army!" We need to join up with friendly forces! Let’s destroy those Han Chinese who dare to challenge us! 』

Beigong gritted his teeth and yelled viciously, trying to save some of his face, and also to get more approval from the Qiang people for his actions, but really, everyone has an account in their mind...

Calculate sooner or later, sooner or later you will calculate.

On the other side, Beigong's long-cherished allies, the Qiang people from the snowy area, are gradually falling into another crisis.

In the snowy area, at the west sea, is the Linqiang camp.

"These guys have no plans to leave from this way..." Yao Kehui lowered his head in front of Yang Fu and reported the report with a loyal face. He did not regard these Qiang people as his own at all, "These guys are preparing to leave from there." Turn north into the mountains from Buzhuang Mountain, then turn eastward from Haidergang Mountain, and then you can reach Caohaizi, Qilian. There will be some repairs there, then go northwest through Shixiamen, pass through Kazigou, and finally from Chatiaogouzi is the closest to Zhangye... It is said that the vanguard has already set off, and it should be at Caohaizi in Qilian... or at Kazigou..."

Yang Fu frowned and looked at the map, "So, these people don't have to pass through Linqiang or go around Jincheng. They can pass through the Qilian Mountains and go directly to Zhangye?" 』

Yao Ke nodded and said, "Yes, that is indeed the case." 』

"Caohaizi in the Qilian Mountains..." Yang Fu tapped on the map, "Are there any original residents here?" 』

Yao Ke nodded and said: "There are indeed...but not many in number. They call themselves "Yao Ao'er"..."

In fact, this area was originally an unknown area, and it has never appeared on the map of the Han Dynasty, let alone in the history books. If it were not for the leading party like Yao Kehui, even in another hundred years, no Chinese would know about this area. There is actually a large area of ​​alpine grassland in the Qilian Mountains.

"Well, "Yao Ao'er"..." Yang Fu pondered.

This is a brand new term, Yang Fu has never heard of it.

"If we go from Linqiang to Qilian Caohai, how should we do it?" Yang Fu asked.

Yao Ke shook his head and said, "We can't walk here. We can only retreat to Xiping, then change the route to the north, pass Laoye Mountain, and then go in. We still have to walk through five slopes, and there are nearly seven or eight hundred miles of mountain roads." ...』

Yang Fu took a breath and hummed.

From this point of view, if we want to prevent the Qiang people from the West Sea from rushing to Zhangye, it is impossible to intercept them halfway, so the only option is to attack.

However, the Qiang people in the West Sea are also on guard. In order to ensure that they can enter the mountain safely, the Qiang people will definitely defend at the mountain pass to guard against Yang Fu's attack. A direct attack may not be able to achieve good results, so some strategies should be adopted. …

The main reason is that the surrounding area of ​​​​the West Sea is a flat land with no danger to defend. Of course, there is no way to use any clever tricks, and there is no need to think about ambushes. After all, the Qiang people have no intention of leaving Linqiang.

Yang Fu thought for a long time and finally came up with a way...

The West Sea is extremely beautiful at night.

The huge sea foam glows with phosphorescence under the moonlight, and because the West Sea is actually a huge inland lake, the water surface is relatively calm. It is like stealing a large piece of night cover in the night, dotted with stars, reflecting each other above and below, and it is so beautiful. .

In the Han Dynasty, because human activities were not very frequent, most of the rivers flowing into the West Sea were normal, so the West Sea water was not salty, and the surrounding aquatic plants were also very lush. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the Tibetan people's large-scale grazing in the West Sea destroyed the vegetation here and gradually began to affect the water source of the West Sea.

Of course, in later generations, a large number of uncontrolled fishing activities caused the West Sea to gradually follow the footsteps of the Aral Sea. The water surface dropped at a rate of 12 centimeters per year. In the middle and late second century, the West Sea will be like the Aral Sea, changing from a beautiful gem to a scar on the earth.

Haiziwei is very quiet at night. The cool night breeze occasionally gently carries the snorts of war horses into the air, drifting in the wind. Among the water plants around the West Sea, various unknown insects chirp unscrupulously, as if they are squandering the last moments of their lives. All passions in general.

Light always brings some sense of security. In order to be able to see further, the Qiang people on duty and patrol lit more than a dozen bonfires around the camp. The burning flames emitted a scorching light and illuminated hundreds of steps around. The place.

Suddenly, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance. The Qiang people on patrol turned pale with fright and hurriedly blew the alarm horn. The Qiang people in the camp were awakened, some were looking for war horses, some were shouting at the whole team, some were nervous for a while, bumped around and then were cursed loudly.

The leader of the Qiang tribe rushed out of the tent with a knife in his hand, jumped on his horse, and was not even fully clothed. Then he led a group of Qiang people who were also disheveled, and rushed out of the camp with a noisy roar, facing the horseshoes. They lined up in the direction from which the sound came, waiting for the enemy to appear.

"Blow the trumpet!" 』

"Get ready to fight!" 』

More than a dozen trumpeters blew their horns at the same time.

A low whine echoed in the night sky, making it look particularly desolate.

But as the Qiang horns blew, the sound of horse hooves in the distance became smaller, as if the cavalry galloping in the distance turned around and went back...

What is this going to do?

From the Qiang tribe leader to half of the Qiang soldiers, question marks appeared on their heads.

The thunder is loud, the raindrops are small, and the rumble comes fiercely. Is it over like this?

Several Qiang leaders looked at each other in confusion, and then someone reacted and sent scouts to investigate ahead.

The scout ran out quickly, and after a while he ran back again. He said that he had not seen the enemy for about ten miles, and he must have retreated.

Retreat?

Want to pursue?

Several Qiang tribe leaders gathered together and almost without hesitation issued the order to disperse and rest. No one wants to pursue in the dark night. If you want to pursue, you have to wait until daybreak.

The Qiang people made short or long boos, as if they were laughing at the shamelessness and cowardice of the Han people. Then the leaders of each tribe led their soldiers back to rest. Soon after, the camp became quiet again, and the Qiang people fell asleep again. , the sound of snoring and grinding teeth once again echoed in the camp along with the chirping of insects.

After an unknown amount of time, maybe an hour, maybe just a stick of incense, or just a blink of an eye, the vibrations on the ground and the shrill sound of horns woke up these Qiang people from their sleep again.

The Qiang camp exploded again. The soldiers were running wild and panicked. The leaders of the various ministries were in a hurry, shouting and giving orders at the top of their lungs.

The leader of the Qiang tribe angrily grabbed the soldiers on duty, slapped them all over the face, and asked why these guys were approached by the enemy again without warning in advance. However, the Qiang soldiers on duty were absolutely unjust, because they Indeed nothing was found...

The Qiang people lined up again.

Then I found that the sound of the enemy's horse hooves began to gradually become smaller, and then disappeared after a while...

"Scout!" Chase out twenty miles! ” The Qiang-headed man roared angrily, “Damn it, damn it! 』It is inevitable for everyone to have the energy to wake up, especially now that the energy to wake up is doubled...

"What are the Han people doing?" 』

"I think they're trying to lure us into pursuit!" 』

"Well, that makes sense. I'm afraid they've laid an ambush in the distance, just waiting for us to chase them!" 』

"Then what should we do?" If we don’t chase him, what will happen if the Han come again? 』

"Just ignore them. We can enter the mountains tomorrow anyway. If the Han people also want to enter the mountains, it will be our turn to ambush them!" 』

"right! As long as we are delayed until we enter the mountains, we will win. If the Han want to pursue us, they are asking for death! 』

"Then put more scouts in that direction and guard them farther away!" 』

"That's right, let's do it!" 』

After a while, the scouts who chased out came back and said that they had indeed seen some traces of war horses about fifteen miles away, but after continuing forward, no Han cavalry was seen until more than twenty miles away. Maybe they were Han Chinese. The cavalry has already gone twenty miles away...

The Qiang leader looked at the scout who was dripping with sweat. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and asked him to retreat. Then he ordered the troops to be disbanded and allowed the Qiang people to go back to rest.

This time the Qiang soldiers didn't even bother to sneer and walked back dejectedly.

too tired.

Even the donkeys in the production team have to sleep.

And the key is that this situation is different from staying up late. Ordinary staying up late is just a waste of hope that one's own life is still alive, or it is due to the helpless overdraft of livelihood, so this kind of ordinary staying up late is a chronic suicide, and no adrenaline is used.

These Qiang people were originally mentally prepared to fight for their lives in the dark night. Under the stress of their brains, they ordered the kidneys to be given a shot of adrenal glands as soon as they came up, and then not only the kidneys, but also other ones were awakened, and they also strengthened their adrenal glands. and muscle oxygen content, excessive blood flow, increased heart pumping, increased lung respiratory volume, and almost all organs were forced to roll up at a super-intense 996...

Then, I looked around and saw nothing happened.

Forget it, it happened twice. This is not only 996, but also 007!

Who can hold on to this?

So, of course, these Qiang people were as if their prostates were inflamed after masturbating too much. They were so limp that even after taking more than a dozen pills of aphrodisiac, they staggered back to their sleeping place, lay down and sighed for a while. , and the sound of snoring filled the sky again.

By the time the third warning sound and the sound of horse hooves sounded, it was already approaching dawn.

For most people, pre-dawn is the time when the human body is most exhausted, especially when the adrenal glands have not only received two injections, but also have to support the Qiang soldiers on duty who cannot sleep. It is difficult for the brain to wake up and perceive the external situation. , making some actions is supported by instinct.

It's like sounding the alarm when you hear the sound of horse hooves...

Yang Fu sent Yao Kehui and Tibetan general Chili Dezan to lead a thousand Han cavalry and a thousand Yi Cong Hu cavalry. They first pretended to invade the Qiang camp from east to west, and then alerted the Qiang. The people then retreated, and then started wrapping the horseshoes fifteen miles away, turning south, close to the lakeside of the West Sea and going around to the south of the Qiang people...

So this time, the sound of horse hooves was not heard in the east, but in the south and southeast...

But the problem is that the already comatose Qiang people did not notice this difference. Even when many Qiang people struggled to get up and lined up to fight, they were still used to standing facing the east. Then they seemed to feel something was wrong but they couldn't tell what it was. Something is wrong.

Yao Kehui was originally a Qiang, but since he got involved with the Han people, he began to tremble. Not only the food and drink, but also the equipment of the soldiers, all have undergone earth-shaking changes due to the Han people, so that Yao Kehui's tribe has undergone earth-shaking changes. Shang Xia was almost determined to follow the Han people.

What? A sense of national honor? Sorry, weren't even those from the Qing Dynasty and the North who were considered first-class intellectuals in later generations once reduced to middle schools affiliated with a certain country?

Why do people at all times and in all countries praise those who have integrity? Isn't it because most people believe that if you have breasts, you are a mother!

The same is true for the Tubo rebel general Chili Dezan. The oath he made for Tubo ended up being turned into two words, yes, that's right, "really fragrant".

And what is very interesting is that when these people change their political stance, their methods will be more brutal, more unscrupulous, and more ruthless when dealing with their original members of the same race. Because most of these people still have a little sense of shame, but the problem is that these people are not willing to admit this, because admitting this sense of shame will make them feel that they have taken a wrong path, and in order to prove that they are not If they are wrong, they will kill their own people, desperately belittle and attack or even massacre their original compatriots to prove that they are right.

Just like now, when Yao Kehui and Chili Dezan split into two directions and rushed into the Qiang camp, the brave ones were like tigers and leopards, waving their swords crazily and heading towards the Qiang people. advance deep into the camp.

This is a massacre. On the one hand, it was planned for a long time, on the other hand, it was exhausted. The battle was one-sided from the beginning, and there were no twists and turns at all.

Due to the previous intrusion, the Qiang people in the camp were too tired. Although some Qiang people spontaneously organized to resist, but for the Han cavalry in neat formation, these resistances could not have any effect at all, and The Yi Cong Hu Qi who followed the Han cavalry and rushed in confused the Qiang people's understanding to a certain extent. They didn't know how to distinguish the Yi Cong Hu Qi, and thought they were their own people. After Hu Qi was killed, the confused Qiang people regarded their own people as enemies again...

In fact, if you distinguish them carefully, it is not difficult to distinguish ordinary Qiang people from Hu Qiyi Cong. Even if you don't know that the white circles on the arms of Hu Qiyi Cong are signs, looking at the equipment on their bodies and the unified sword in their hands, they are generally the same. You can guess roughly, but it is a pity that most Qiang people have little knowledge, and they are even less able to observe carefully in sudden situations.

The war horses that were not fully cared for and protected were frightened and bumped into each other in the camp. They ran around and trampled wantonly. Many Qiang people were killed and trampled by these war horses. Their deaths were very miserable.

There was extreme chaos in the Qiang camp. Ordinary Qiang soldiers could not find their leaders, and the leaders could not find their own soldiers, so they had to fight on their own. Quite a few Qiang people were still in a daze, and their tents were broken open and they were sleeping. The enemy cut off his head and cut his throat.

The fire started burning, there were flames everywhere, and screams came one after another. Several Qiang leaders had just gathered some people and horses in an attempt to counterattack, and then they were submerged under the hooves of the horses, causing more and more Qiang people to lose their fighting spirit. Finally, before dawn came, they completely collapsed and lost all intention of resisting. The Qiang people fled in all directions, some fled to the mountains, and some fled to the west.
