Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 115 The Tubo army is coming, ready to fight

Five days later, in the early morning, on the Mianzhou official road leading to the Tubo border.

The three generals Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Zhang Shigui sat astride their horses and looked at the scorching sun that was about to rise in the sky.

"Commander Qin, Doctor Li said that Tubo will attack Datang in ten days, do you think this is true or not?" Zhang Shigui took out a water bag and took a sip into his mouth.

Just because Li Ze said during the dinner that Tubo would definitely attack within ten days, they got up and marched at Mao every day, and only buried pots and rice at Xu every day, and set up camp for sleep.

For the past five days, it has been like this every day, almost without stopping.

"Tibetan just sent another envoy to try to enter the territory of our Tang Dynasty, and the news that Dr. Li killed the envoy did not leak. Are we a bit too shadowy?"

With dark circles under his eyes, Zhang Shigui looked at the soldiers behind him, all of them were holding weapons in their hands, and marched along the official road with great difficulty.

Until now, there is no news about Tubo's attack on Datang.

Now marching is like a great enemy, and the soldiers in the entire army are also full of complaints.

"Yes, General Qin, I'm so tired of running around. It's no good for these soldiers to be exhausted. Why don't you take a rest today? The weather was cool a few days ago, and it was cloudless when I watched the sky today. I'm afraid it will be terribly hot at noon. Ah." Several lieutenants around him also complained again and again, and they were also full of anger in their hearts for this inexplicable and crazy way of marching.

Especially when all this was suggested by a kid who hadn't even killed anyone.

What is this called?
Qin Qiong was also disturbed by the chattering guy behind him, and suddenly turned around and glared at everyone: "Nowadays, there are constant worries inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, and all the tribes around are staring at the Tang Dynasty. Since Tubo has the intention of attacking, as a Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty should always be on the lookout for trouble."

"Do we have to wait until Tubo invades Chang'an before we start from Chang'an?"

"Military orders are like mountains. If you disturb the morale of the army in this way, you will be dealt with according to the military law!"

Zhang Shigui shrunk his neck secretly and swallowed with a "gurgle", and then he didn't dare to complain loudly anymore.

Seeing that Qin Qiong's words had come to this point, all the other lieutenants and the complaining soldiers had no choice but to keep all their complaints in their stomachs.

After all, none of them wanted to be executed on the spot for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army, or be fined with dozens of military sticks.

Now I have to march, and being fined with dozens of army sticks will only make walking more uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zhang Shigui gently pinched the horse's belly, causing the horse to speed up a little, and caught up with Qin Qiong. He drove alongside him, and asked in a low voice, "Does Commander Qin also trust that kid very much?"

"I heard that Miracle Doctor Li is very skilled in medicine. He also treated Commander Qin's disease and gave blood transfusions to keep his life alive. Presumably that's why Commander Qin trusted the child so much, but Miracle Doctor Li is a young doctor after all."

"No matter how good the medical skills are, he is still a doctor after all. War is no joke. How can a child who has never been on the battlefield or killed a person influence General Qin's thoughts?"

Zhang Shigui whispered beside Qin Qiong, talking nonsense, Qin Qiong really couldn't stand this talkative Zhang Shigui, the dry weather itself made people very bored.

For Zhang Shigui, if he didn't open his mouth to talk about something during the boring march, he would rather be beaten by dozens of military sticks, at least he wouldn't feel boring if his butt hurts.

"If you are curious about what Dr. Li is capable of, you will be the first to fight against Tubo this time. If the Tubo barbarians chop you into pieces, I will skin some of the horses that died in battle and cut your pieces into pieces." Take the corpse back to Chang'an City, and see if Doctor Li can put you together and save you." Qin Qiong gave Zhang Shigui a helpless look, and casually complained a few words.

Just when Zhang Shigui was about to continue arguing with Qin Qiong, suddenly there was a rush of horse hoofbeats from not far away.

Immediately, three people and three riders appeared in Qin Qiong's field of vision, and everyone immediately drew out the swords around their waists vigilantly, and looked at the coming people vigilantly.

As the three came closer, Qin Qiong finally saw clearly that the person who came was Datang's messenger.

"General Qin! General Qin! Tubo has launched an attack!" One of the three drivers hastily parked his horse on the side of the road, and Qin Qiong also quickly ordered the soldiers behind him to make way for the messenger.

The other two drivers bowed their hands towards Qin Qiong, and rushed towards Chang'an City impatiently.

When Zhang Shigui heard the voice of the messenger, he disregarded the flying dust into his mouth, and hurriedly hissed and asked, "What? Say it again! What happened to Tubo?"

The remaining messengers also immediately cupped their hands towards Qin Qiong and other generals, and shouted loudly: "I am the messenger under the command of General Zhao Jun of Shenji Camp, and I am here to report to Commander Qin."

"The Tubo army has invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, and General Zhao Jun is setting up minefields west of Bazhou Pass!"

After hearing this, Qin Qiong was startled, and quickly asked, "When did Tubo attack?"

"Today's Yin time!" Seeing that Qin Qiong had nothing else to ask, the messenger urged his horse aside to rest.

Zhang Shigui was horrified immediately, and just like the first few lieutenants who were also somewhat disbelieving looked at each other, they all opened their eyes wide, and the sleepiness in the morning disappeared instantly.

"Tuban really attacked! Tubo really attacked! It really took ten days! No more, no less, it just happened to be exactly the same as what Li Shenxian said... Oh no, what Li Shenxian said!" The corners of Zhang Shigui's eyes twitched, and his pupils trembled violently. Fan, somewhat absent-mindedly said:
"It's my eyes that don't recognize real gods. I didn't expect that Dr. Li's medical skills are superb, and his judgment of the situation is so accurate... It's really, it's like the Crouching Dragon alive!"

Zhang Shigui sat on the horse blankly, his voice trembling, and he muttered in horror.

Qin Qiong slapped Zhang Shigui's ass suddenly, and shouted behind him: "Pass it on! The whole army obeys the order, and Tubo has launched an attack! The three armies line up and advance at full speed!"

In an instant, the entire army exploded like boiling water. The standard bearer waved the command flag in his hand, and the lieutenants turned around and shouted at the crowd.

Zhang Shigui staggered suddenly, almost falling off the horse.

The drums on the chariots were also hammered.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Qin Qiong swung the whip violently, making an extremely loud whip.

"Snapped!"

After the sound, the marching speed of the entire army increased a lot, and all the soldiers and horses also changed from walking to running, raising waves of dust on the official road.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of dense footsteps resounded among the crowd, rushing towards the surroundings like thunder.

At the same time, it is at the junction of the border between Datang and Tubo.

"Kill! Brothers, drive these Tubo barbarians out of Tang Dynasty!" Xu Mao held the Mo Dao high, and the blood on the blade slowly dripped down along the blade.

Before he finished speaking, a silver light flashed, the blade of the saber passed in front of Xu Mao again, and the head of a Tubo barbarian flew up instantly.

Blood gushed out from the man's neck, and then a shower of blood rained down from the sky, drenching all over the surrounding soldiers.

The entire Maozhou Pass was like a purgatory, the screams of killing and screaming continued, the dust was raised all over the sky, and the drums behind him became more and more rapid, resounding through the battlefield like thunder.

Dan Bayang, the former general of the Tubo army, saw that the Tang army was attacking very fiercely, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Danbayang waved the ring-shaped sword in his hand and roared at the crowd: "Kill them! Kill all these Tang pigs!"

As soon as the words fell, he slashed a long knife in his hand at Tang Bing beside him, cutting off half of Tang Bing's head on the spot.

The surrounding Tubo cavalry, smelling blood, waved their swords like a group of mad dogs, regardless of whether there was anyone around them, just waving crazily, making both friendly and enemy soldiers dare not get close.

Zama, the general, also shouted to the crowd: "Our army is twice as large as Tangzhu. If we win this pass today, each person will be rewarded with two sheep! Everything in the city will be shared equally!"

As soon as Zama finished speaking, the Tubo soldiers around him suddenly had blood red eyes as if they had been spayed with chicken blood, and they slapped their necks and waved the long knives in their hands and shouted sharply:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill all those Tangzhus!"

Immediately, the two armies were fighting like thunder.

Large pieces of corpses and dried blackened blood appeared in the intersecting place one after another. At the same time, Xu Mao's movement of waving the Mo Dao in his hand became slower and weaker.

"General Xu! Get out! Brothers are exhausted!" Lieutenant General Zhang Sheng's face was covered with blood, panting, he urged his horse forward, and roared loudly when he came to Xu Mao's side.

"It's been almost a quarter of an hour. Brothers can't wield a sword. The Tibetans are huge. We can't wait to fight. If we lose a lot of soldiers and horses outside the pass, once the Tibetans attack the city, it will be very difficult to defend!"

Xu Mao chopped down the Tubo barbarian who had killed him with a knife, and immediately turned around and shouted in a very dignified way: "Okay! Now these barbarians have almost seen the national power of the Tang Dynasty, pass it on! Mingjin withdraws troops!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Sheng pulled the reins violently, turned the horse's head to the direction of Maozhou Pass, and immediately pulled out a flag representing Mingjin from his waist and shouted in the direction of the pass: "Retreat! Mingjin withdraws! Withdraw!"
