Chapter 321

"This can't be absolutely guaranteed. After all, I'm not the main attacker. Unless Zhao Xuanqing leaks this person over and asks me to pick up a great merit. But you did a good job. There is a rift between Qixia sword sect and Kongtong sect. Maybe I will have a chance in the future. "

Wei Ran thought that if the righteous leader of Qixia sword sect didn't take the initiative to help Chang Xuanyi, the small sect in Yigan pass would certainly not come forward casually. At that time, he would have a chance to fight with this guy.

He went back to his room and opened the letter sent to him by Zhao Xuanqing.

First of all, it shows that she will fulfill her promise to make the dare to die camp become an army, and Wei Ran is the main general of the army. According to the formal establishment, Wei Ran is now called a general, which is worthy of the name. In the past, as a battalion officer, he was called a school captain at most. He was the highest grade of school captain - Zhaowu school captain. Others called him a general, and he admitted that he was thick skinned enough.

The newly formed first army was named Fenglin army, because Zhao Xuanqing thought that the first battle of the dare to die camp led by Wei Ran was at Fenglin pass, so he took Fenglin as the name.

Since this army is not recognized in the Tang Dynasty, it can only be regarded as a private soldier under the Hexi Jiedu envoy, so there is not so much emphasis on the designation and name. Even the miscellaneous general Wei Ran didn't give him the miscellaneous number. Others can only call him general Wei.

Zhao Xuanqing asked Wei Ran to take the military flags of kuozhou City, Dahua County and jishijun castle and the body of the general to michuan county within ten days, and take 4000 military horses there at the same time.

Wei Ran thought to himself, since there are only 4000 troops and horses, there are 3500 troops and horses. Are these all his own? What if you can't feed yourself without enough food and grass?

Regardless of him, with so many military horses, the soldiers in the army can be one person, or the elite of the cavalry can be two people, and can play the tactics of long-distance attack. In short, no matter how you use it, it's good news. Although it costs a lot of money, you can talk about it later.

Wei Ran sent 500 soldiers. General Ma and Zhao Xuanqing sent all the things they wanted. He sat in kuozhou City, which completely blocked the way of Tibet's retreat to the West.

If the Tubo army dare to retreat here, both sides of the Yellow River are good ambush terrain. As for other paths, there are also some, but Wei Yan has scouts and reconnaissance trends. No matter how, he can arrange them in advance than the other party. Moreover, the path is difficult to walk, the speed is slower and more convenient, and the heart is not big enough. I absolutely dare not take the path.

Zhao Xuanqing received 4000 troops and horses, and his cavalry immediately expanded to 8000. With 22000 infantry, his combat effectiveness increased greatly.

Then he threw the flag and bodyguard sent by Wei Ran to the main force of Tubo in michuan county. In addition, the small force sent by Wei Ran did come from the West. This kind of information immediately shook the main force of Tubo in michuan county.

After a winter, it snowed heavily from December to March. For almost four months, there was no food supply, and the stored grain in the city had been consumed almost.

If there is no more food and grass support from kuozhou City, the main force of Tubo can only give up military discipline and begin to plunder the people in the city. In fact, the surplus food of the people in the city is not much. After all, like the Tubo army, they can't be replenished for four months.

Many people have long starved to death. Only some rich families still have some grain in the basement of their houses in the city. They live on a frugal diet until now.

After the Tubo army knew that the back road was blocked, it tried to send someone to break through and find out the truth. The three thousand outstanding riders were almost wiped out by Zhao Xuanqing's ambush, leaving only hundreds to ride under the kuozhou city.

The flag of Fenglin army has long been changed at the head of the city. Well, the flag was designed by Wei Ran himself recently. It is very concise.

The big flag has black characters on a red background. Fenglin is written in a powerful seal script to indicate the serial number. On the yellow background and black characters of the sub flag, there is a word Wei, indicating the surname of the general of the unified army.

The flag of Fenglin army was silly. The Tubo elite cavalry came to investigate. It turned out that what the Tang army said was not a lie. They really attacked the whole kuozhou in winter. Only michuan County knew nothing!

At this time, Wei Ran personally led a thousand cavalry to rush out of the mountains and forests on the bank, cutting off the road for hundreds of people to retreat to michuan county.

These hundreds of elite riders have now become frightened birds. They dare not fight Wei Ran. The road in the East is blocked and naturally runs to the West. Unexpectedly, a thousand cavalry came to the west, and the two cavalry wiped out all the Tubo cavalry like dumplings.

Wei Ran earned more than a hundred horses. The rest of the horses were injured. If they could not be raised well, they could only be made into dried meat and eaten.

Of course, Wei Ran wanted to frighten the main force of the Tubo army in michuan County, so he cut off the ear of a cavalry as a humiliation and asked him to go back and give good news to the main force of the Tubo army in michuan county.

Michuan County commander saw that only one of the three thousand elite riders who broke out of the siege came back. He was humiliated and deliberately put back after being caught. At once, his heart was colder than the Yellow River in winter.

The back road was really cut off, and according to the other party, Dahua County and Shijun Tunbao, a grain storage area, were taken away. How can we fight this war? The city's grain reserves are only enough for seven days, which is also included in the food rations of the plundered residents.

Those Han Chinese residents have now begun to cook people and change their food. Should we eat human flesh like them? No, there's horse meat... But if even the horses are killed, the army will be more desperate, so it won't even have the tools to escape. The cavalry of the Tang army are so fierce that they will not become fish on the chopping board at that time?

Finally, the general made a crazy decision. Since the war had been lost, how could I let you Tang Jun get the city so easily? Kill all the people in the city! Burn all the property in the city!

What if you win? The city won is not even as good as the empty city. Ha ha, it depends on how much effort you Han people will use to rebuild!

So the order was issued that day to collect all the food and grass that could be collected, even rats! Put all the grain in the Chinese army.

From the east to the west of the city, you will enter every house in a carpet style and kill anyone you see! Kill and rob! Grab it and burn it! Then the whole army will concentrate on the west gate and prepare to break through!

Zhao Xuanqing naturally saw the fierce smoke from michuan county. Even outside the city, he could see the flames burning everywhere in the city.

Her face suddenly changed dramatically. Many soldiers around her also looked very angry. Many excited soldiers roared and asked to fight!

"How dare Tubo dogs burn the city! I will tell them not to leave kuozhou! The whole army listens to the order and gives Ben every effort to intercept and pursue! Ben will not capture them, kill them all! "

Zhao Xuanqing established military strongholds along the Yellow River at the East and West intersections of michuan county to block the escape route of the Tubo army. At this time, 30000 Tubo troops ordered the servants of the army, that is, Dangxiang people, Qiang people and Huhua Han people, to forcibly attack the military stronghold at the West intersection and suffer a three-dimensional attack from top to bottom from the solid military stronghold.

Then there were angry Wuwei troops coming from the rear, 8000 Rangers prowling on both sides, and a large array of infantry approached steadily. In order to give the vanguard time to break through the stronghold gate, the Tubo commander ordered the cavalry to strengthen the infantry array of Wuwei army.

Under normal circumstances, it is the stupidest action to ride lightly against a complete infantry array. The lance in the cavalry's hand is not as long as the big gun in the infantry's hand, and the infantry array is dense with spears.

When the cavalry ran into it, the man and horse hung directly on the spear and died miserably.

However, the Tubo army knew its own situation. If the Tang army could not be prevented from approaching, the whole army would be blocked on the road, unable to advance or retreat, and the cavalry would lose room to run horses. Then they had to jump off the Yellow River to feed fish.

So they charged, completely fearless of death, blindfolded the horses with cloth, stabbed the horses in the hips with daggers, red eyes, and waves of despair hit the array.

The whole array was hit and sunk, and the heavy infantry in the middle also suffered heavy casualties. There was no rotation time. The soldiers in the middle suffered heavy casualties. They were shocked by the crazy suicide attack of Tubo cavalry, and their morale gradually decreased.
