Chapter 59: Mountains in the West, Snow in the Mountains ps: Please vote for this chapter. The more this happens, the more it shows the difference between genius and mediocrity. Geniuses will immediately come up with workarounds in this difficult moment. But the mediocre can only be helpless. Of course, you can also ignore the people, and even the court cannot blame them. If you ignore these people, it is possible to completely destroy the county seat of Li County. By then, not only the people outside the city, but also the five or six thousand people in the city, and Thousands of soldiers may be killed. But if you do that, you will kill your own people because of your own people, and the soldiers will be confused and depressed. There is no morale, and the number of soldiers is not as good as the opponent's. How can we defend this city? But Sun Renxian issued an order, ordering five hundred soldiers to be distributed on both sides of the city gate, preparing to fight the Tibetans who poured into the city, and preparing to open the city gate. The suspension bridge has long lost its function, and there is only a small winding moat outside the city. In the first wave of attacks, one person brought a bag of mud and filled in the roads. After getting ready, he watched the people getting closer and closer. When he was approaching fifty steps, Sun Renxian shouted: "Folks, come into the city quickly." As soon as he shouted from the front, the city gate behind opened. These people were originally They were all desperate. In front of them was the tall city wall, and behind them were the ferocious Tibetans, threatening them with weapons. They thought it was a dead end, but they didn't expect that at this time, the officials on the city wall opened the gate regardless of the safety of Jiangli City. So each of them immediately became Liu Xiang. It is possible that Liu Xiang might not be able to outrun them even when he gets here. Xinolo was also slightly stunned. He did not expect that the commander guarding the city would have such courage. But he reacted immediately and blew the horn, telling the Tibetan soldiers behind him not to be stunned and to take the opportunity to rush into the city. In fact, without his order, Tibetan soldiers had already started running towards the city gate. But I really lost my mind at first. Although just for a moment, due to the human survival instinct, more than half of the people performed abnormally, and of course it was also related to the fact that the people captured by Xinolo were all young adults, there were still many women who did not come in later. One by one, they mixed together and poured into the city. At this time, the five hundred soldiers on both sides of the city gate began to take action. They had to take action and let these Tibetan soldiers block the city gate. The people behind them could not enter the city, and the city gate might not be closed. But this will undoubtedly put the originally small city gate in a semi-blocked state. Looking at the gate of the city, there was no way to get in. More Tibetans came around fiercely, and many women burst into tears in grief. People are always bloody. Sun Renzhi is different from Tao Hanming. Tao Hanming usually doesn't win the hearts of the people. Although he made a lot of remedies when the enemy came, he still can't compare with Sun Renxian. He treats his men very well. Although there are very few soldiers under his command now, including the four thousand soldiers sent by Wang Hua and the semi-mercenaries from Wuzhou, these soldiers are happy to be used by him. Now hearing and seeing the atrocities committed by the Tubo people, and listening to the cries outside the city, finally completely aroused the morale of the soldiers. They shouted angrily, and even the newly recruited soldiers who were recruited at the last minute began to kill desperately. enemy. The bravery of the defenders also inspired the people entering the city. Some people with their wives and daughters were outside the city. They picked up the weapons of the dead soldiers and Tibetan soldiers on the ground. Some ran to the back and asked the defenders for them, and they joined in the killing of the enemy. A lot of Tibetans poured into the city, but as many as they rushed in, they disappeared. Dead bodies and blood were everywhere at the city gate. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out out of the city, the number of people outside the city can be seen as fewer and fewer people fought hard. Seeing this situation, Xinolo frowned again. The people commanding this county were a bit difficult to deal with. Could it be that the generals of the Blood Camp were also commanding? He was very depressed, but he still gave the order to let the three thousand cavalry use the advantage of the cavalry to forcefully rush into the city. Sun Renxian took a look at the top of the city. There were very few people outside the city. There were only seventy or eighty women left, and they were wrapped among the Tibetan soldiers and unable to move. He has tried his best. So he ordered the city to be closed. At this time, a large number of Tibetan soldiers entered the shooting range, and various weapons fired with angry flames towards the city again. And because of this tragic act, many people took the initiative to participate in the city defense battle. It was expanded again by seven to eight hundred soldiers. The cavalry was halfway through the charge. Xinolo took one look and ordered the army to retreat. But this time, he changed his tactics. Each soldier held a civilian in front of him and rushed towards the city again. Then he rode on the horse, sneering in his heart, how can you save me this time? Indeed, this time it was even more difficult for Sun Renxian. The other soldiers stood at the top of the city and saw Tubo's despicable behavior. They were all filled with grief and anger, but they could not break it.untie. On a hilltop in the distance, Xue Song looked at this scene and sighed in his heart. No wonder Wang Hua has always regarded the Tubo people as their number one enemy. Some of their actions are really a bit excessive. However, Sun Renxian's feat just now won Xue Song's favor. He called one of his men and whispered twice in his ear. The man immediately rode out and came to the front of the army. He held a big trumpet in his hand and shouted loudly: "Xinolo, listen up. , our camp governor has something to say to you. The common people are innocent, and our camp governor has never killed any of your Tibetan people. Now if you dare to attack the common people, feel free to kill them. Anyway, there are four in our eight states. If one of your Tibetan prisoners dies, even if he dies of illness, we will kill two prisoners. It depends on whether you have more civilians in your hands or we have more prisoners in the eight states. We have found out clearly about this line. More than 5,000 innocent people died directly or indirectly at the hands of you Tubo people. In a few days, 10,000 Tibetan captives will be delivered to Jishi Mountain. I didn¡¯t know that your old Tibetan queen had heard so much. The soldier could have been redeemed through conditions, but now he dies because of you. Will he be very grateful to you?" Then he shouted to the top of the city: "Soldiers on the top of the city, listen up, just shoot the arrow and die. For any common people, our blood camp will blame the Tubo people." After shouting, the horses retreated. If they did not retreat, dozens of Tubo people would surround them and capture them alive. There were not many words, but Xinolo started to have a headache. He has no doubt that Wang Hua can't be made. Now the summer crops in the Eight Prefectures have been snatched up and delayed. At worst, roads and cities have been built. Even the water conservancy projects have been unable to start because of the huge spring water. But how many prisoners were there in the eight states? To put it bluntly, Wang Huawei, these prisoners may have a headache. They cannot release them, and they cannot kill them. Once they are killed, his words of surrendering but not killing may have no effect after that. But if you keep them, you still have to eat a lot of food every day. If he is really serious, using this reason, he is likely to kill some prisoners. ¡°In fact, it is extremely unlikely that these prisoners would expect Wang Hua to be released. Guan Jian himself was uncomfortable with many people in Tubo. If anyone made a fuss about this matter, he would be in trouble. Wang Hua's hand hit his weak side. Thinking of this, he had to ask the soldiers to withdraw again. In fact, Xue Song had no choice but to do something for himself. In the original plan, this sentence was shouted at the most crucial moment. It was not to kill as many people as he wanted, but to kill as many prisoners as he took away. Coupled with some other reasons, Xinolo had no choice but to let him go. Now seeing the dangerous situation in Jiangli City, Xue Song changed the meaning of this sentence and shouted it out in advance. After shouting, he and dozens of his men left immediately. But this time Xinuoluo is in some trouble. He doesn't need to threaten the people to attack the city by force. The Tang soldiers on the top of the city are mourning soldiers. He will not think that the city cannot be captured, even Qinzhou City. If he is not afraid of delaying time, he will Take it with confidence. Guan Jian is whether the sacrifice is worth it. It was getting dark at this time, so he had to let the soldiers camp and rest. But he sat in the big tent and meditated. The slogan of the soldiers sent by the Blood Camp was false, and it was true that they were not allowed to attack the city. Just now, he clearly saw that the Tang army on the top of the city was very hesitant, and he might be able to capture the city using this method. Why not let yourself attack the city? Is it true that the ambush is on the line between Diezhou and Taozhou? So I don¡¯t want to go to Fuzhou. But it would be too obvious to do so. He sat in the tent and meditated. At this time, Afzan sent someone to report. They also encountered fierce resistance in Fujin County. After attacking the city for a day, they not only failed to capture it, but also lost two to three thousand soldiers. Moreover, the two blood battalion troops kept harassing them all the way, and now they are harassing them even at night. So he asked Xinolo to find a way for him. In addition, there was news that the Blood Camp army came south from Hezhou and had just occupied Taozhou City. Thinking of a way, there is only one way, let the captured Tang Dynasty people act as a blocking sign outside. But now that Blood Camp is exchanging human lives for human lives, this method seems to be ineffective. "Well, no, why did Afzan's army keep encountering harassment all the way, but after he set off from Minzhou, the two armies behind him seemed to suddenly disappear? If someone hadn't been sent to shout in front of the formation today, I would have thought they had taken a shortcut to the ambush circle to meet up. ??Also, if they set up an ambush on the Diezhou front line, why did they send troops to Taozhou? Aren't they afraid of being afraid, and they are more determined to take the road of Fuzhou and withdraw? Originally, he thought that Xueying was afraid that he would take the path of Fuzhou, but now he was confused. Now the route you can choose is clearer. Either go from Diezhou or Fuzhou.?. The road to Taozhou has been completely blocked, and the road to Songzhou is even more unreasonable. Moreover, these two battles also showed him that the Tang Dynasty army is not really a soft rice. The tragic defeats in the battles of Lanzhou and Yanzhou probably had little to do with the soldiers. The main responsibility lies with Chang Yuankai and Zong Chuke. It's even harder to deal with when you get to Songzhou. That Sun Renxian is not the master of soy sauce. That night, Afzan was harassed to death by soldiers from the Thousand Blood Battalion in Fujin County, but Xinuoluo was very quiet beside him, not even a mosquito came to disturb him. Early the next morning, Afzan once again sent someone over to ask for a solution from Xinolo. "This can't continue like this. The soldiers can't even sleep well. What should we do?" This is a very small group of people. If the Blood Camp sends out an army of 12,000 to harass them like this, the army will not fight, they will be dragged down alive. Xinolo did not reply. Now the harassment problem is not that big. Guan Jian has to figure out Wang Hua's intentions, otherwise the future of tens of thousands of troops may be very worrying. After thinking about it, he immediately sent out a large number of scouts to investigate, mainly to find the whereabouts of the two blood camps that followed. Sun Renxian was also worried inside the city. Now, through various sources, it has been confirmed that the ambush place of the Blood Camp is on the line from Diezhou to Jishi Mountain. It may be on the Xiqing Mountain, but I don¡¯t know whether it is on the southern or northern line. And he also gambled all his wealth to bring all the troops to Wuzhou. If successful, he would have done a great job and defended Wuzhou for the imperial court. If he failed, he would have overstepped his authority and neglected his duty. Furthermore, it was possible that Xinolo would learn that Songzhou was empty and invade Songzhou to take revenge, causing even Songzhou to become corrupted. But this resistance was obviously because he did not want Tubo to take the Fuzhou line. However, the blood camp made some arrangements. The lobbyist of the blood camp also said before leaving that Xinolo was a wise man, but a wise man must be suspicious. It depends on whether the arrangements made by the blood camp can have a confusing effect. If they are unable to do so, the Tubo people will be more determined to take the Fuzhou front line and have to attack by force. It is possible that neither county can hold for a few days. In fact, this is a big gamble. He is betting, Wang Hua is betting, and Xinolo must also follow suit. Wang Hua rolled the dice and it was up to Xinolo whether he was right or wrong. After a while, the scout returned. Returning part of the way, this time we ran very far, and we didn¡¯t see traces of the passing army until we were close to Pandi Mountain. Some of the scouts continued to search, but because they didn't see anyone, they couldn't tell for sure. Could it be that the two troops of the Blood Camp inserted themselves into Fuzhou from the trail? So the location of the blood camp ambush is in Fuzhou? But why did the Blood Camp assist the Tang Dynasty in guarding two or even three counties in Wuzhou? Xinolo opened the map and looked at it for a while, then his brows gradually relaxed. Finally ¡°understood¡± the reason. In fact, in addition to passing through these two counties, there are other roads to Fuzhou, but the roads have to pass through many mountain roads, which are rugged, narrow and difficult to navigate. If several counties in Wuzhou forcibly defend the city for a few days, and they are worried about Jishi Mountain, they may be anxious and take these trails through Wuzhou. Coupled with these people and baggage, the soldiers will be very sleepy. Such soldiers will definitely be in danger if they encounter an ambush again. And precisely because of the snipers in several counties, I will not suspect that there is an ambush of troops in Fuzhou. So on the other hand, sending troops to Taozhou will put pressure on yourself not to go to Diezhou. However, after arriving in Taozhou, the army did not go south. They thought that there was an ambush in Diezhou, so they left Diezhou as a gap. In this way, after entering Fuzhou, he will also relax his vigilance. Of course, this requires certification. So he immediately sent scouts to Fujin to inquire about the situation in Diezhou and whether the Blood Camp had sent any more troops south. Then wait for news about the scouts from the two troops. One morning, Xinuoluo did not send troops to attack Jiangli County. Everyone is waiting, and Xinolo is waiting for news from all sides in order to make further judgments. Sun Renxian is also waiting. After this silence, either the Tubo people will retreat and enter Wang Hua's ambush circle, or there will be a bloody battle. The Blood Camp is also waiting. If Xinuoluo has not been fooled this time, the Blood Camp will send troops to support, cover the evacuation of the people in the two counties, and then cover Sun Renxian's army to return to Songzhou. This time it is a friendly assistance , we cannot let Sun Renxian drag us down, otherwise no one will dare to agree to Blood Camp when we look for help from others in the future. And asked the people of Fuzhou to move immediately and take the initiative to open a channel for Xinuoluo. However, they will be severely harassed along the way, and then spread words to force them to keep the people here. The other side immediately forcibly conquered all the levels in Jishi Mountain. Before Xinuoluo returned to Jishi Mountain, he took Jishi Mountain into his own hands. Then the results this time will be very small. This is also a helpless thing. I was already prepared. But these two preparations did not make any preparations for Sun Ren.He said that once he said it, he would be hesitant, and hesitation would not produce the determination to stick to Wuzhou. Without determination, it is really possible for the Tibetans to break the city. So let's trick Sun Ren into it first. When it was time to eat lunch, news came back from both sides. Afzan did not hear about the bloody camp¡¯s march into Diezhou. On the contrary, he began to appease the victims in Taozhou and sent troops to garrison at the same time. Many people from Diezhou came to Taozhou to State escape. The scouts on the other side were a little miserable when they came back. Only two people came back. On a mountain road in Fuzhou, they saw Xue Song's army. They were walking all the way, but they were very vigilant and kept sending scouts to patrol back and forth. After a few scouts stared at it, they immediately discovered it. These two people were very alert. They hid in advance and came back by luck. When Xinuoluo heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he immediately ordered: "Attack" and began to attack the city, and the attack was very fierce. This made Sun Renxian and the blood camp in the distance confused and worried. Could it be that he knew Noro was not fooled? After half a day of bloody battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Tubo people suffered greater casualties, but the Tang army at the head of the city also felt uncomfortable. The fighting in Fujin County was even more brutal than here. At night, both parties began to rest. But at the third watch, the Tubo people suddenly set up camp. At dawn, the armies of Xinuoluo and Afzan reunited and began to march toward Diezhou in a mighty manner. Afzan was ordered to immediately move forward with an army of 10,000 to reoccupy Diezhou City. Sun Renxian and Wuzhou officials breathed a sigh of relief and could receive the merit. But they also had a headache, because there was a thick shadow of the Blood Camp mixed in. Although it was better than Qinzhou, at least in these two battles, the Blood Camp did not do anything like Qinzhou City except sending a thousand soldiers to harass the opponent. The battle of Jieting was carried out directly, but some things in the process would also make some people in the court unhappy. There are more people who are relieved. Afzan came to Diezhou City, which now only has an empty city. But within a short time, the Blood Camp sent four thousand soldiers to rush over. Seeing that the city of Diezhou had once again fallen into the hands of the Tubo people, they returned very disappointed. When Xinuoluo arrived at Diezhou, it was getting close to dusk. The Blood Camp once again sent 7,000 soldiers back to the outside of Diezhou City and set up camp on a hill in the distance. Seeing this situation, Xinolo breathed a sigh of relief. But now he is faced with a choice again. There are two roads from Diezhou to Jishi Mountain. One is a normal road, not just one, but several, which is to go from Xiqingshan. But from the northern end of Xiqing Mountain, there are some low mountains and hills and the Yellow River Valley, and there are some small rivers. If you follow this path, it will also be very troublesome because Taozhou is already under the control of the Blood Camp. There is another road. If Xinolo hadn't been careful, he might not have discovered this road. This road passes through the south side of Xiqing Mountain and directly enters Jishi Mountain. This road is very rugged, and there are ice sheets and frozen soil in many places. The mountains are tall and steep, and the mountains are cut through by several rivers, forming deep canyons. If you straighten it out, it looks very close, but actually it takes about the same amount of time to go around the mountain as it does to take the northern route. But there are advantages with disadvantages. Although the road is not easy to walk, it is not that there are no roads. Yes, there is a road directly to Jishi Mountain, and many areas where the road passes are uninhabited areas. The Blood Camp has just occupied the southern foot of Jishi Mountain. Logically speaking, he was not familiar with this hidden road. Moreover, going south is a large swamp that no one can cross. And being further away from Diezhou, the soldiers of the Blood Camp also had no way to harass them from the side. As for the roads, although they are steep, most of them are in tundra frozen soil areas, and there are swamps in some places, so it is not easy to ambush them. In fact, he decided to return to Jishi Mountain via this road at the foot of Wuzhou City. But what to do with the baggage and the people? It is not a problem for his soldiers to cross this road, but except for some young and middle-aged people, it is probably very dangerous for these people to cross this road, especially some women. If it were the original, according to Xinolo's habit, it would be possible to cut it off with one knife and there would be no problem. But now that the Blood Camp is exchanging the lives of Tibetan prisoners, Xinolo is very worried. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision, but immediately sent a scout, rushed back to Jishi Mountain lightly, and informed Zhuo Jimangri that he must stick to Jishi Mountain for four days no matter what. Now that I have not fallen into an ambush, the Blood Camp will definitely launch a crazy attack and capture all the levels of Jishi Mountain before I rush back to Jishi Mountain. Therefore, no matter what during these days, you must hold on until you return. Once you return, have the terrain, and have an army, all levels will be safe and sound. The next morning, Xinolo got up and sent someone to ask the city toThe general of the blood camp outside, after a while, a middle-aged man came over. Xinuoluo stood on the top of the city and asked: "May I ask your surname?" They were polite, but Gongsun Yun also had no need to greet him coldly. He replied: "I am Gongsun Yun." "Can you help me?" "What master?" "I have more than five thousand Tang Dynasty people in my hands. If your blood camp does not deal with our Tibetan prisoners of war, how about I hand them over to your blood camp?" After being silent for a while, he said: "You release the people first." "Please ask General Gongsun to make an oath." Gongsun Yun made an oath, and then Xinolo released the people together. He breathed a sigh of relief. This time Kezanre's defeat had nothing to do with him, but the loss of many places south of Jishi Mountain might cause some powerful officials in the country to make slanderous remarks. If Wang Hua uses himself to kill prisoners of war, he may face a political crisis. There is no need to bring unnecessary impact on one's career for the sake of thousands of people. It¡¯s a pity that during this expedition, only three thousand Qiang soldiers were gathered due to the obstruction of the Blood Camp. He didn¡¯t know whether Gongsun Yun was also relieved, whether Gongsun Yun¡¯s criminal Xi could threaten Xi Nuoluo and force him to hand over the people. Everybody is happy. After letting the people go, Xinuoluo left Diezhou City openly. There were only 7,000 blood battalion soldiers on the opposite side. It was a good thing that he didn't cause trouble to them. What threat did it pose to himself? Then head all the way south. He even used the telescope seized from the Tang Dynasty people and looked back at Gongsun Yun. He saw that he was taking the south road and standing on the hillside, motionless, with his mouth wide open in surprise and did not close it for a long time. Xi Nuoluo couldn't help but laugh loudly. This time he had a battle of wits with Wang Hua, and even a battle of wits with Wang Hua and his many advisors and generals, but he finally won beautifully. ????????????????? But it¡¯s a laugh, this road is indeed difficult to walk. And because the terrain is constantly changing, it is sometimes high and sometimes low. The low places are as warm as spring, and the high places are as cold as the twelfth lunar month of winter. One-third of the road soldiers had to dismount. The team moved forward slowly. We walked all the way to the southwest, going around and around for three days. The terrain became higher and there were snow-capped mountains all around. But now that it's early summer, a lot of the ice and snow has melted, and the snow on the mountains has become thinner. But summer hasn't really arrived yet, and the snow on many tall mountain peaks hasn't melted much. But the Tubo soldiers were not afraid of such terrain. Is this kind of snow mountain still a snow mountain? See the real snow mountain ranges (Himalayas). Even the many mountains that the Zang River (Yarlung Zangbo River) and Yak River pass through have deeper snow than the snow-capped mountains here. At least you can still see large sections of rocks and frozen soil here. There is nothing but white snow in those mountains. The sky was getting closer to evening. Although Xinuoluo was a little anxious, walking around in this mountain, he didn't know what was going on in Jishi Mountain. But had to order a break. At night, the temperature in this area is still very low. Moreover, the sight is not very good and walking is very dangerous. We reached a flat ravine and set up camp, surrounded by white snow-capped mountains, but the snow at the foot of the mountain had melted, revealing green bushes. There are also several sparkling small ditches flowing down from the mountain, shining with golden light in the afterglow of the evening. There are a few wild birds playing in the water along the small ditches, just like a fairyland on earth. But Xinolo didn't have the intention to appreciate it. He sat in the tent and thought about his thoughts. There is still one day to go, and we can leave Xiqing Mountain tomorrow afternoon. Once the army arrives, there will be no problem in holding Jishi Mountain. Guan Jian is how to recapture those areas south of Jishi Mountain. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold Kezanre for his stupidity and the nobles in Luoshe City for their lack of brains. If all the 200,000-strong army had been in his own hands and Shanxian had not been defeated, would we have been in the situation where we are constrained by the bloody camp today? He lay on the bed and kept thinking, and gradually fell asleep in the howling and cold mountain wind. I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but he suddenly heard many loud noises. He was barely awake from his sleep, so he quickly got up and left the tent. Let the cold night wind blow by, and I can't help but shiver. Then I remembered that we were at the highest section of Xiqing Mountain. Where was the sound of explosives coming from the Blood Camp? But this was not a dream, it was a fact. The violent explosions of explosives continued, and in this silent valley, coupled with the echoes, it was particularly deafening. Not only him, but all the Tibetan soldiers got out of the tent. Only then did they notice that the morning star in the east began to brighten. There was a little sapphire red in the dark sky, and it was not far away from dawn. But what about the explosives? ????????????????We looked along the sound of explosives. It was dark in the night and we couldn't see clearly. But we followed the sound and found that the sounds were coming from the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Then there was another strange sound, first a whisper, then a rustle, and then a rustle. A soldier suddenly shouted in horror: "Snow, snow." Xinolo hadn't seen it yet. He returned to the camp and picked up the telescope. This time he saw that all the snow on the surrounding mountains was pouring down like a waterfall. In some places, the snow all slid down due to the vibration, leaving only the bare mountain, large and large, quickly sliding towards the ravine. He shouted in horror: "Get on your horse immediately and leave this place quickly." He was unlucky because he originally saw snow-capped mountains surrounding this place, so it was used as a site for avalanches. But I didn't expect that he would actually camp here. The hundreds of soldiers in ambush, regardless of the cold, endured until dawn before taking action. If it was during the march, since the Tibetans were mostly cavalry, many soldiers might have escaped. But because they were in dreamland now, even though the sound of explosives woke the soldiers up, and even though the snow collapsed from the top of the mountain, it would still take some time to reach them. The visibility also hindered their ability to judge the time, so they put on their armor and mounted their horses, again delaying time. This time the effect of the avalanche was infinitely magnified.
