Chapter 359 The road is rough
Guan Nei Dao, Tongguan North, Lizhou.
Yanzhou is located in the northeast of Chang'an and covers five counties: Luochuan, Sanchuan, Luojiao, Zhiluo and Fulu.
After passing Yanzhou, there is Fengzhou to the north and Lingzhou to the northwest.
After Chang'an was occupied by the Tibetans, the Tibetans divided their forces and plundered the states and counties near Chang'an. However, after the governor of Yanzhou learned that Chang'an had been lost, he did not resist and surrendered to the Tibetans.
Tubo stationed an army of about 5,000 people in Yanzhou to control the situation in Yanzhou. At the same time, a Tubo army of more than 10,000 people also occupied Fengzhou in the north of Yanzhou. The entire Guannei Road, except for Lingzhou, almost all fell to the hands of Tubo.
However, Lu Dongzan is currently busy digesting the territory he just won, and Lingzhou is stationed with the 50,000 main central army of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Dongzan knows that this is a hard nut to crack, so he did not attack Lingzhou immediately. They planned to completely isolate Lingzhou after wiping out the surrounding areas, so as to force the Tang army in Lingzhou to surrender.
After Li Zhen escaped from Chang'an, Lu Dongzan immediately had people blockade the northwest of Yanzhou. As a result, Li Zhen wanted to go to Lingzhou through Yanzhou, which was more difficult than climbing to the sky. As long as he showed his head, he would be attacked by Tubo. Encirclement and suppression of people.
South of Yanzhou City, on a small road, a Tang Army team of nearly a hundred people was marching north. At this moment, the team stopped.
Li Zhen frowned and said: "Further ahead is Yanzhou. Now we have three roads. The first is to go to Lingzhou via Yanzhou and meet Pei Xingjian, and the second is to Yingzhou via Hedong Road and Hebei Road. , merge with Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui, the third way is to go all the way north, pass Fengzhou, enter the grassland, and enter Yingzhou or Lingzhou from the grassland, but these three roads have their own advantages and disadvantages. "
"Now that Yanzhou has been occupied by the Tubo people, Lu Dongzan will definitely guess that I am going to Lingzhou and will definitely block the passage from Yanzhou to Lingzhou. Therefore, although the road to Lingzhou is the shortest, it is also the most dangerous, so It can be ruled out.¡±
"The second one is to enter Hedong Road, pass through Taiyuan Prefecture, go to Hebei Road, and then from Youzhou to Yingzhou. Zhao Wang Li Fu now controls Hebei Road and Hedong Road. Li Fu is very ambitious and has always been hostile to me. From then on Hedong Road and Hebei Road pass by, and he will not sit idly by.
" Moreover, Youzhou is guarded by the Xi people's army, and Jizhou is guarded by the Khitan army. This road is too long and passes through so many cities. It is impossible not to be discovered. This road can also be eliminated. "
"The third road is to pass through Fengzhou, enter the grassland, and go straight from the grassland to Yingzhou. This road is the longest. It has to pass through the territory of foreign tribes, and it seems very dangerous. However, now the Xi and Khitan people The main force is on Hebei Road, and the grasslands are sparsely populated, so this road is the safest."
"Do you mean to take the third path?" Nina asked.
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Yes, the third road is actually a bit dangerous as long as it passes through Yanzhou and Fengzhou. Once it enters the grassland, it is not easy to find us due to the vastness of the grassland."
Li Zhen and his party were heading towards Yanzhou. As they were walking, they saw smoke billowing from a small village in the distance, and faint shouts and cries could be heard.
Li Zhen immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle. Later, Li Zhen came to a small highland outside the village and looked at the village with a telescope.
This is a small village with only a few dozen households. Hundreds of Tibetan soldiers showed off their power in the village and gathered the villagers at the head of the village.
The Tibetan soldiers set up a large fire, and then asked all the women in the village to take off their clothes and jump over the fire.
A woman jumped a little lower, and the hair on her body was burned. She screamed in pain, and the Tibetan soldiers kept laughing.
At this time, a woman did not jump over the fire, but fell directly into the fire and screamed in pain while the Tibetan soldiers applauded.
A woman couldn't bear the humiliation and immediately jumped into the ancient well at the entrance of the village. The villagers on the side burst into tears, but the Tibetan soldiers drew their swords and guns one after another, apparently preparing to massacre all the villagers.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhen's eyes turned red.
At that moment, Li Zhen waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately divided into three teams. One team went around to the left side of the village, all the way to the right side of the village, and the other team went around to the back of the village.
At the entrance of the village, the Tubo people were still torturing the villagers. A Tibetan soldier lifted a three or four-year-old child on his head and was about to throw it to the ground.
"Tiedan! Give me back my ironed egg!" A woman rushed over to snatch the child, and another Tibetan soldier came over, pulled out the knife from his waist and was about to chop at the woman.
"Whoosh!"
??"flutter!"
A feather arrow instantly penetrated the Tubo soldier's throat. The Tubo soldier holding the knife fell to the ground with a thud without even humming.
All the Tubo soldiers were stunned. Before the Tibetan soldier holding the child could realize what was going on, an arrow hit him in front of him. The Tubo soldier screamed and fell to the ground.
¡°Swish, swish, swish¡¡±
Arrows rained down, dozens of arrows were shot from three directions at the same time. In the first wave of attacks, a full 30 to 40 Tibetan soldiers were hit by arrows.
Many Tibetan soldiers wanted to escape, but before they could escape, they were hit by arrows.
These arrows came from three directions. As a result, wherever the Tibetan soldiers in the encirclement fled, they would be attacked by arrows from two directions at the same time, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
After a while, most of the Tubo soldiers fell under the attack of feather arrows.
Some Tibetan soldiers ran towards the horses, but any Tibetan soldiers who got close to the horses were shot by arrows. After a while, more than twenty corpses fell near the Tibetan horses, and no one dared to approach the horses again.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta"
Nearly a hundred Tang Army cavalry rushed out. The Tang Army on horseback was condescending. They threw away their bows and arrows, took out the sabers from their waists, and slashed at the remaining Tibetan soldiers.
"boom!"
When the last headless corpse of a Tibetan fell to the ground, everything became quiet. Hundreds of Tibetans had been killed.
"Iron egg"
The woman was holding the child with tears on her face.
"Mom" The child in her arms opened her eyes, but the woman cried again, but she was crying with joy.
Li Zhen rode a horse and came in front of the villagers. At this time, the women put on their clothes one after another, and the villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Zhen.
"Well¡¡"
"Thank you, General, for saving your life"
The villagers knelt on the ground one by one and said.
Li Zhen said: "You can't stay here any longer. After so many Tibetan soldiers died, the Tibetans will definitely come to take revenge. You should pack your things immediately and go to relatives and friends."
"Thank you, General!"
These common people did not know Li Zhen¡¯s true identity, and Li Zhen did not want to expose his whereabouts. At that moment, Li Zhen had people take off the clothes of these Tibetan people, put them on himself and the soldiers, and then headed for Yanzhou City (Remember Website address: www.hlnovel.com
