Chapter 460 The Raiders (4)
Anka Ponggan led 20,000 soldiers, followed Dezui's army for sixty or seventy miles, took a small road, inserted diagonally, outflanked Li Xun from another direction, and completely annihilated this Jin army.
However, no matter how good the plan is, it is not always up to God.
When Hu Xian came out of the blue, he not only did not escape with Zhao Feidu, but instead led his troops to gather the remaining soldiers and defeated generals everywhere. In the end, he gathered more than 2,000 soldiers, hid in the dark, paid close attention to the disturbances in Langzhou, and finally
To find out the movements of Anka Ponggan's Tibetan troops, at the critical moment, he used tough methods to kill several officers who had higher official positions than himself but were afraid of war and death.
He convinced everyone of his righteousness, and finally took control of this small force of more than 2,000 people. He took the initiative to attack and set up an ambush in a dangerous area. He defeated Anka Ponggan, killed more than 8,000 enemies, and captured more than 2,000 enemies.
Rescued Prime Minister Liu Zhigu.
Li Cunxiao, he led a thousand cavalry as suspects to contain the 50,000 Tibetan army coming from Duanlong Fort.
After Li Cunxiao arrived, 50,000 Tibetan troops, including 10,000 infantrymen, went to the direction of Xiaogu County, forming a barrier to prevent Li Xun from returning to Xiaogu County. The remaining 40,000 troops rushed towards the main battlefield on Li Xun's side.
On a hidden hillside, Li Cunxiao lowered his body and looked towards the path not far away, where a large number of cavalry were galloping forward.
After waiting for a long time, this long cavalry troop finally came to an end.
"Li Cunxiao, there are at least a thousand cavalry in this group."
Lei Wanhai whispered from the side.
Li Cunxiao nodded: "Although there is no detailed number, it should be ten thousand cavalry."
Li Zhaodi said in a low voice: "The speed of these cavalry is not a normal march, but a full-strength march. I am afraid that the general is already fighting. When the news came, this group of Tibetan cavalry rushed to the main battlefield at full speed."
Li Zhaodi has followed Zhao Wei for many years and has been his deputy general. He is also a Tubo Han. After Zhao Wei surrendered, Li Zhaodi naturally surrendered too. This man was average in martial arts, but flexible and loyal. After Li Xun took charge of Longyou West Road, many people came from aristocratic families.
There are talented people who look down on Li Xun's background and are unwilling to work for him. There is no other way. Li Xun can only draw materials from nearby and discover new people, such as Zhao Zhang under Shan Qiu, Li Zhaodian under Zhao Wei, and those with little reputation and age.
The very young Li Cunxiao, as well as his cronies Hou Quan, Lei Wanhai and others, were all reused and promoted one after another.
Lei Wanhai looked at Li Cunxiao: "Brother Li, are you forcing yourself to do this?"
Li Cunxiao shook his head: "We definitely can't do it forcefully. There are only a thousand people coming here, and we can't stop them for long."
Lei Wanhai nodded and said nothing. He just said casually that the opponent's strength was dozens of times that of his own. If he tried to force himself, he would only be seeking death. The leader of this army was Li Cunxiao. He was only the deputy general and had the final decision-making power.
Still in the hands of Li Cunxiao.
Li Zhaodui suggested: "It is better to act according to the original plan and delay the opponent's march for as long as possible."
They are here to serve as suspects to contain the other party, but it is up to Li Cunxiao to decide how to do it. This is the characteristic of Li Xun's employment of people and soldiers. You are given a task and you have to figure it out. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will be rewarded.
punishment.
Li Cunxiao pondered for a moment, finally shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "This cavalry is marching at full speed, ten miles away from the 30,000 infantrymen in the rear. It is obvious that they have learned the news from the commander. We only have 30,000 troops, and the main battlefield is
The fighting is going on there right now, and there are still extra troops sent here to conduct an ambush. If we use suspicious soldiers to confuse the enemy, I'm afraid the other party may not be fooled."
Lei Wanhai nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Of the 50,000 Tubo army, these 10,000 cavalry are probably the real elite main force. As long as they arrive on the main battlefield, they can change the direction of the entire battle. Even if we
If there are suspicious soldiers on the sidelines, they may not even pay attention."
Li Zhaodui smiled bitterly and said: "This won't work, and that won't work either. We're not here to watch the fun. If we fail to complete the task, the commander's side will be in danger."
"Not urgent."
"Let's go and see the Tibetan infantry behind." Li Cunxiao thought for a while, got up and walked down the hillside, riding towards the distance on horseback.
Li Cunxiao was not in a hurry. He always kept a calm mind and carefully observed the surrounding environment and terrain. This area was dozens of miles in radius, with lush trees, flowers and grass, and a wide terrain.
A plan slowly took shape in Li Cunxiao's mind.
Li Cunxiao immediately called Lei Wanhai and told him his plan.
Li Zhaodui stretched out his thumb and praised: "General Li, your head is so good. I admire you."
Lei Wanhai did not rush to express his position, but carefully thought about Li Cunxiao's strategy. Although it was risky, it was indeed worth a try.
Lei Wanhai nodded, looked at Li Cunxiao, and said, "Let me lead the attack."
Li Cunxiao smiled and said: "Among the three of us, you are the strongest in martial arts. Naturally, only you can do the impact."
Lei Wanhai did not speak. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword at his waist and looked into the distance. Several miles away, there were countless lights. The Tibetan army of 30,000 infantrymen was advancing rapidly.
"General, this Kodadu is really abominable. I don't take you seriously at all."
At the forefront of the Tubo army were hundreds of cavalry, led by a general named Galdaang, who was in his mid-thirties, handsome but thin.
The Gar family is a famous family in Tubo. The family hereditarily owns the fiefdom in the Gabu area. In the entire political system of Tubo, it is one of the most powerful families with a large number of private soldiers.
Daang glanced at the deputy general and said softly: "We are at ease now that he is gone. Isn't this good?"
The deputy general smiled bitterly and said: "General, Gewa ordered us to arrive at the battlefield before dawn and form an encirclement of the Jin army. Now Kodadu is leading the cavalry one step ahead. By the time we arrive, the battle will probably be over. Gewa has been planning to eliminate you.
We have military power, but we have no excuse. The battle is over and we have achieved nothing. I am afraid that Gewa will use this as an excuse to deprive you of your military power, general."
Da'ang remained silent, then sighed and said, "What can we do if the state fights thieves?"
Another lieutenant general said coldly: "Although Gewa has great power, he cannot control the sky with one hand. Even if we are passive and lazy, what can he do to us?"
Daang pursed his lips and remained silent. After Gewa took control of the military and political power in Tubo, he went on a killing spree. Two of the five most powerful families in Tubo were completely wiped out, but as the deputy general said,
After all, Gewa could not control the sky with one hand. Although he had mastered the military and political power, the opposition was still strong. In the end, Gewa could only compromise and use a moderate attitude to gain the support of the major families and form a coalition politics.
