Chapter 972 Slash Loulan

The iron clothes were broken on the battlefield for hundreds of battles, and the south of the city has been encircled several times.

The camp shot and killed Hu Yan, and led the remaining soldiers and thousands of cavalry back.

"Jobs and the Second"

Tang: Li Bai

——I am the plot division line—

On the top of the Fengqiu of Mount Li, where vegetation is still lush, Yi Damao, who is already a hunter in Lingnan, was also careful to hold the musket on the tree slit. Suddenly, he quickly pulled a leader of a man who climbed up the hillside and rolled down his chest with blood. The dozens of troops following him, who were holding a sword and spear, naturally turned their heads without hesitation and scattered.

"Is this Wen Mo? It doesn't look very good."

The sergeant who was assisting by the side couldn't help but put down the grenade trajectory that had the leads and fire tubes installed in his hands:

"It's far worse than those Uighurs and Dangxiang, and I'm scared away..."

"After all, they are all poor people who forget their ancestors and don't know where they belong after they die."

Yi Damao curled his lips and said:

"But you shouldn't take it lightly. Many ants will still bite the elephant to death. Be careful of being rushed up from all directions. I guess you will be flooded if you can't come."

Before coming out to carry out the mission, their exclusive armed investigators had been specially infused with the basic attempts and key points of various vassal divisions in the Western Army. Just like the origin and existence of the three major Wenzhou-East and South China coalition forces were actually very short, and at most it was only a few decades.

Its predecessor was the ranks of Yong (affiliated households and lower citizens) and slaves (secrets) who were led and migrated to Hexi during the civil strife in the last period of Tubo. Later, in order to consolidate the rule, the Tubo people equipped these ranks of Yong and slaves with more slaves from various ethnic groups, including the Tang people, forming a pyramid-like multiple oppression and ruling class.

Therefore, the original Wen Mo meant slaves. During the decades of Tubo rule, they were "given the name of a tribe and occupied the marching. They were "given as a tribe, and used their marching heads, and their body was beautiful, their body was beautiful, their body was tied with their body, and their body was tied with their arms and knees." They participated in the attack on the Tang land many times or resisted the offensive from the Tang Dynasty. "The Han'er used Hu'er to speak, but cursed the Han people at the top of the city." The poems and essays are the best portrayal of this period.

However, when Muni Zanpu was the last Tubo Dynasty, the Wuru and Eighteen Domains and Sixty-One Dongdai under the Tubo rule inevitably triggered a long-term backlog of conflicts at home and abroad due to the fierce religious conflict between Buddhism and Bon religion. Then they fell into the upper class and the killing of each other, and the royal family was almost wiped out; and the slaves and untouchables rush to riot and uprising in the collapse of the great uprising of slaves and untouchables.

During this period, a large number of Tubo slaves in Hexi formed a total of large and small forces that formed in order to survive, in Gansu, Su, Guasha, He, Wei, Kuo, Die, Dang and other states, and formed a total of the large and small forces. Among them, thousands of people were small, and tens of thousands of people were large. At the same time, they also received legacy industries such as farms, grasslands, cattle and sheep from the Tubo people.

Then, in the chaos of the powerful Tubo ministers in Hexi, they were able to grow stronger and stronger. Finally, when the Guiyi army rose to Hexi and began to purge the eleven states, they had to compromise and admit it to reality. Huairouhe took advantage of the power of these large and small Wendu tribes to incorporate them into the ruling order.

Therefore, its sources and components are extremely complex, including the descendants of Han people who became slaves and then became slaves, as well as members of the northwest tribes such as Xiangxiong, Supi, the Qiang in the Western Regions, Tuyuhun and Uighurs. In the late period of the collapse of Tubo, a large number of Tubo people were tired of the turbulent life on the plateau and fled to various parts of Longxi. These Tubo ethnic groups finally joined the Wenmo team with similar customs.

Therefore, the clothing, food, customs and traditions that the Tubo people forced them to leave behind became the only characteristics of these Wendu tribes of large and small. Among them, the Wendu tribes in the southern part near the Sanchuan in Jiannan were lured by Gao Pian, who was the governor of Xichuan at the time. The chief Shang Yanxin led the river and Weizhou, and moved ten thousand tents to the Dadu River Basin, "built three cities of Rongzhou Mahu, Muyuanchuan, and Dadu River, and lined up to resist danger, and expected to strengthen the soldiers and become the plain army", becoming the front line to resist Nanzhao.

In the eastern Wendu, which is relatively civilized between Gansu and Liang, under the general trend, accepted the conditions for the Guiyi Army's proposal to discuss the tide, and thus became one of the more autonomous vassal forces under the name of the Guiyi Army. It also made a lot of efforts in the war in which the Guiyi Army annihilated the Tubo garrison entrenched in Liangzhou, and obtained the autonomy of the northern border of Liangzhou to cultivate and survive.

The western Wendu, which is closer to the hinterland of Qinghai and stronger bows and horses, maintains more independence and autonomy. The relationship with the Guiyi Army is also conditional cooperation and efforts to jointly fight against the invasion of the Tubo tribes from the plateau; but there are also various daily disputes such as water plants and fields, and half-allies and half-competitors. (The last trace of existence of the Helong Liugu tribe, who was in love and fight with Taizu Li Yuanhao in later generations, was his last trace of existence)

Especially in the past twenty years, with Zhang Huaizhun, who succeeded the Guiyi Army as the leader, his authority and strength declined because he repeatedly asked the court to inherit the Hexi court's reputation. His relationships in both the eastern and western Wendu were still increasingly alienated. He even took over the imperial enthronement and became a local force on par with the Guiyi Army, and he played a role in buffering between the imperial court and the Guiyi Army for many years.

But in another sense, these Wen Hou tribes were also the most beautiful and uneven among the Western Army camps. In their limited contact with the Taiping Army, it can be found that most of them lacked sufficient protection; they only had a half-open sheepskin robe or felt wrapped in felt; bows, arrows, swords and weapons were also very simple and old, and there were even people using stone clusters and bone clusters; there was no unified banner kimono color that could be distinguished by people.

Therefore, after encountering the enemy, they can only take turns to launch attacks according to the distinction between large and small corps. In frontal battles in a certain direction, once they exceed the size of several tribes, they will easily become a chaotic situation of conflict and disobeying commands. Then, a few leaders are defeated, and the remaining tribes will scatter with no fighting spirit.

This is also the team led by Yi Damao to catch the new soldiers and decide to retreat to the top of Mount Li Mausoleum to hold on and deal with it for a while, instead of taking the opportunity and possibility to break out under the horsepower that they did not have. On the other hand, the physical condition of the woman and the child they discovered was no longer allowed to be violently turbulent on the horse's back.

Thinking of this, Yi Damao couldn't help but shout at the small temporary camp behind him:

"Pan Da, has that woman woke up?"

"I woke up, but I woke up; I was still not very clear and could not speak or eat, so I could only feed it with sweet tea first..."

A young soldier named Pan Da quickly responded:

"It's good to wake up... Don't rush to ask questions first, wait for someone to recover before talking!"

Yi Damao also breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman's face was as bright as gold paper, but she was worried that she would die the next moment she was carried up the mountain. Although he had not fully confirmed the identity of the woman, the army provided a considerable description of the image of Empress Cao whom the governor appointed to rescue him.

At this time, the lookout whistle standing on a short tree shouted again:

"Hundreds of Wen Mo came to the back."

Yi Damao quickly put down his thoughts and plans, and led his people to the other end. He saw that there were already many figures of people climbing hard among the rocks on the edge of the mountain. And the one holding it in the air was a ox-horned banner. While he raised the extended musket in his hand, he turned his head and asked, "How long has it been since we sent the message..."

"I'm afraid I'll have been in the middle of a day..."

The Capture of Life, named Pan Da, replied with some uncertainty:

"It seems that it has been delayed for a long time. I am afraid that Wen Mo, who is close to him, has been attracted to him."

However, Yi Damao frowned and muttered, then looked at the sunset that appeared in the sky and said:

"Check the medicine, save some treatment, and drag it until dark, I hope it will be better to have a moonless night..."

At this time, there was another obvious commotion in the loose queue of Wenmo tribes waiting to attack at the foot of the mountain; then they made a road as if they were rushing to make way, and then a team of well-armored officials and cavalrymen came. The Wenmo tribes who had already or were about to enter the condescending range also turned and retreated to the hillside, a little hesitant and reluctant in the sound of the horn.

"This is not good, prepare the grenade..."

Although the enemy retreated without fighting, Yi Damao's face became ugly instead; because with the arrival of this team of official cavalry, the Wen Mo tribes who were obviously fighting on their own also had the possibility of being unified and integrated to fight. Once the power they invested at the same time exceeded the upper limit that these dozens of muskets could suppress, then there would be no advantage or tricks to fight in the next battle.

When the clear and bright moonlight rose in the night sky, it was undoubtedly shining brightly on the hillside of Mount Limao, and the scattered fire and spots of fire and spots of smoke, Yi Damao also said to the dozens of remaining soldiers behind him:

"The medicine is about to be over, and it is our turn to break through each other. I hope to encourage you all."

"Only fight to the death."

The left and right answered unevenly: Queen Cao, who was able to barely get up, also said hoarsely:

"Please don't worry about me, please leave it to fate."
