When Chieftain Moyue returned to Moyue City, he immediately met with General Masang of Moyue City at his chieftain's residence. In fact, in the Tang Army's central tent, he did not mention the word "Masang" at all, but in his own residence When talking to Ma Sang, he talked a lot about how he negotiated with Tang Jun, and also added how to ask for credit for Ma Sang and Tang Jun. Ma Sang was very grateful because, after all, Ma Sang is a martial artist. , his thoughts were not as complicated as Mo Yue Tusi's, and Mo Yue Tusi's performance was very successful. Ma Sang had no choice but to believe it or not. Then, the two of them calculated the main details of Mo Yue City's surrender, which was to use Mo Yue Tusi's five thousand elites. They switched to the east gate guarded by Masang's elite cavalry, while Masang's two thousand soldiers switched to guard the west gate of Moyue City. After careful discussion, the two decided to give up these two gates to the chieftain when they surrendered. , these two gates are very important to Moyue City. Not far from the east gate is the Tubo military camp. As long as the Tang army enters the east gate, they can quickly control the Tubo elite cavalry in the camp and will not give them a chance to resist. , near the west gate is the seat of the official office of Moyue City. As long as you control this place, you can control all the officials of Moyue City, big and small.
Therefore, when Chieftain Mo Yue sent his letter to the Tang Army camp, Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng read it with a faint smile on their faces.
"The east gate and the west gate are the two most important gates of Moyue City. Chieftain Moyue can use these two gates as the passage for our army to enter the city when surrendering. This shows that he is very sincere." Guo Shifeng smiled faintly. road
"He is indeed very sincere, but what I fear most is his sincerity. He is very sincere and what he wants is certainly not simple," Chen Qi said coldly.
"What does the general mean?" Guo Shifeng asked
"What if this is a plan set by Tubo to lure us into the city and then annihilate us?" Chen Qi said.
"What do you mean, general?" Guo Shifeng asked
In fact, he never believed the authenticity of Mo Yue Tusi's surrender.
However, when Chief Mo Yue¡¯s letter stated that the two most important gates to Mo Yue City would be opened, Guo Shifeng couldn¡¯t help but not believe it.
However, now that he listened to Chen Qi's words, it seemed that he didn't take them seriously at all.
Could it be that he has something else in mind?
However, Guo Shifeng did not ask, he quietly waited for Chen Qi¡¯s next words
"What I mean is that you and I will each lead an army of 10,000 into the city. You will enter the west gate and control the Moyue City government office. I will lead an army of 10,000 to control the Moyue City military camp. The two of us will work together. However, if one party is surrounded or intercepted, Due to the killing situation, the other side must not come to rescue, but must immediately fight out of Moyue City and return to the camp to reorganize the army in preparation for the Tibetan army to attack." Chen Qi expressed his thoughts
"The last general takes orders," Guo Shifeng said.
He also knew that Chen Qi¡¯s method was the most appropriate.
Because, before they were sure of the authenticity of Chief Mo Yue's surrender, neither of them could be careless, lest Chief Mo Yue's surrender was false and designed to deceive themselves and Chen Qi into being real. In this way, the army outside the city would fall into a leaderless state, which would be easy. Attacked by the Tubo army
The letter from Chief Mo Yue to Chen Qi and Guo Shi stated that the time to open the city gate was midnight the next day.
Therefore, Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng did not give any orders to the army, but quietly waited for the midnight of the next day.
By the next day, the chieftain of Moyue City and the general Ma Sang used their own soldiers to guard the east and west gates of Moyue City. Regarding their actions, neither the officials nor the generals in Moyue City noticed anything. wrong
Because, in the past few days, Moyue City has been on full alert, with 20,000 fine cavalry guarding the four city gates, always on guard against the attack of the Tang army. Therefore, the nerves of the 20,000 fine cavalry are very tight. At this time, with their own The soldiers changing the city gates showed that Chief Moyue and Masang cared about the army. How could other generals and officials notice anything about this?
So, when the defense change was over, Mo Yue Tusi and Ma Sang stayed quietly in Mo Yue Tusi's mansion, quietly waiting for the next hour.
Because, when the time comes, the two of them will go to the East Gate and West Gate in person to supervise the surrender of the soldiers. They don¡¯t want to make any omissions at the critical moment.
Time passed very slowly, Mo Yue Tusi and Ma Sang were waiting anxiously
At this time, there were 20,000 elite cavalry in the Tang Army camp ready. The general Chen Qi and the deputy general Guo Shifeng appeared in front of the two elite cavalry in full armor. Next to them was the Military Affairs Sima Pei Xingjian.
"Is the army ready?" Chen Qi asked Pei Xingjian
"Back to the general, 20,000 fine cavalry are ready," Pei Xingjian replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"That's good." Chen Qi nodded. He did not continue to speak, but quietly looked at the 20,000 fine knights in front of him.
"These are 20,000 black-armored elite cavalry."?Trained Black Cavalry Army
This army lost 20,000 people out of 50,000 when Li Ji led the army to conquer Tuyuhun. This made Chen Qi very angry.
Therefore, when he and Su Dingfang came to the Sichuan-Tibet area of ??Yizhou, he intensified the training of this cavalry. In addition, he continued to fight against small groups of Tibetan cavalry. Chen Qi can say with certainty that this cavalry will The 80,000-strong Black Cavalry Army will definitely perform an amazing scene in the future war between Tang Dynasty and Tibet.
When it was almost time, Pei Xingjian reported to Chen Qi
Chen Qi agreed lightly, and then he and Guo Shifeng each led 10,000 fine cavalry and left the Tang army camp.
Because it was the surrender of Tibet, Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng were dissatisfied with the speed of their march, and the 20,000-strong army did not form a large formation.
When Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng arrived at the east gate and west gate respectively, they saw a bright bonfire on the tower.
On the east city tower of Moyue City, Chen Qi saw Moyue Chieftain
The cold season is about to enter, but Mo Yue Tusi has lines of sweat left on his forehead
Seeing the dark Tang army outside the city and the general Chen Qi sitting upright at the forefront of the army, Chief Mo Yue felt a lot more relaxed.
Because, from the moment he arrived at the Tang Army's camp, he had already tied himself onto the Tang Army's chariot, and he was destined to follow in the footsteps of the Tang Army.
Therefore, he has to treat such a surrender seriously and cautiously. Unfortunately, it is related to his wealth and life.
Chen Qiduan was sitting on his horse and saw someone on the tower holding a torch. The torch drew a big character in the darkness.
Chen Qi knew that this was the secret code he and Chieftain Mo Yue had agreed on to identify each other. Chen Qi also ordered his guards to light torches and draw a Chinese character Tang in the darkness.
"Is it General Chen?" Chieftain Mo Yue asked.
"It's me," Chen Qi replied coldly.
"General, please wait a moment," Chieftain Mo Yue said.
Then, I saw him disappear on the tower
After a while, the east gate of Moyue City slowly opened.
¡°Draw your sword¡ªcharge,¡± Chen Qi ordered.
"Clang¡ª¡ª" The 10,000 elite cavalrymen of the Black Cavalry Army drew out their sabers and followed them towards Moyue City.
Chen Qi¡¯s purpose for doing this is that he doesn¡¯t want to lose such an offensive opportunity.
Because the camp of the Tubo army is near the east gate. If he doesn't rush into Moyue City and fight to the Tubo camp to control the Tubo army, when the Tubo army finds out that they are attacking the city, 20,000 of them will come out of the camp to fight with him. , I really don¡¯t dare to say what advantage I can take advantage of.
The east gate of Moyue City opened, and pairs of Tang army cavalry were seen charging towards Moyue City with ferocity. In addition to leaving two thousand men to guard the east gate, Chen Qi personally led eight thousand men to kill the Tubo army. camp
At the west gate, when Guo Shifeng¡¯s army arrived at the west gate, they encountered the same situation as Chen Qi
Ma Sang also confirmed each other with Guo Shifeng through the previously agreed code. After confirming the other party's true identity, Ma Sang also ordered his soldiers to open the west gate of Moyue City.
Guo Shifeng gave an order and the army rushed towards Moyue City
Guo Shifeng did the same thing as Chen Qi. He left two thousand people to guard the west gate of Moyue City, and he personally led eight thousand fine cavalry to attack the government office near the west gate of Moyue City.
Although, Moyue City is managed by Moyue Chieftain and the generals who defend the city.
However, the Tubo royal court still sent many officials. Their powers were very small, but they still had a certain influence in Moyue City.
Therefore, at this juncture, no matter whether it is Chen Qi and Guo Shifeng, Mo Yue Tusi or Ma Sang, no one dares to take it lightly or not take these people seriously, which is why they make such a prudent decision.
When Guo Shifeng attacked the government offices near the west gate again, he encountered no effective resistance at all.
So, he led eight thousand fine cavalry all the way to the government office near the west gate. In an instant, he took control of everything here and captured all the thirteen officials sent by the Tubo Royal Court.
However, Chen Qi encountered a little trouble when he was heading towards the Tibetan army camp.
That¡¯s when he was approaching the Tubo camp, he met the entire Tubo hundred people who were out of the camp to inspect the city.
However, with Chen Qi's alertness and wisdom, he did not wait for the Tubo people to react. He led 8,000 people to sweep across the centurion like a breeze sweeping away fallen leaves. He chopped off hundreds of heads and also reached the Tibetan camp.
It can be said that the guards at the Tubo camp are relatively tight.
Because this was during wartime, there was a Tang army outside the city. They would attack the city at any time, and the Tubo army did not dare to neglect it.
But, even ifWhen they discovered the cavalry of the Tang Army, they wanted to blow the trumpet to inform their companions in the camp, but before they could even put the trumpet on their lips, Chen Qi's arrow was targeted at the camp gate, while the other Tubo guards were guarding the camp. When the soldiers saw the Tang Army cavalry, before they could shout out, their leader rose into the sky.
¡°Kill¡ª¡ª¡± Chen Qi roared and rushed into the Tubo camp.
"Kill¡ª¡ª" Eight thousand fine cavalry followed closely and followed Chen Qi into the Tubo camp.
The Tubo Jingqi were sleeping soundly. How could they know that the Tang army would rush into the camp so quickly?
So, when they were woken up from their sleep and opened their eyes to find that they were all cavalry in black clothes and armor, they were stunned and didn't know what to do.
The commanders and centurions who took the order were very cautious. When Chen Qi's eight thousand men entered the camp, they knew what was going on and began to lead the resistance. However, their number was too small and they did not have time. To prevent effective resistance, the Tang army was killed in a fierce attack.
Therefore, there were not too many shouts of killing in the military camp, and there were no scenes of flames shooting into the sky.
In just one stick of incense, eight thousand Tang troops took control of the camp, which could accommodate 20,000 people but actually had 15,000 defenders.
At this time, Chief Moyue and Ma Ma, who had changed defenses with the Tang army, had led their troops to the North Gate and South Gate in time. They used their own soldiers to control Moyue City and disarmed their own armies. In this way, what was originally a difficult battle was easily overcome by the Tang army because of officials and generals like Chieftain Mo Yue and Masang.
