Chapter 344: Three Hundred Glass Beads Determine the Winner
"Character"
"Character"
"All words"
All the circumferences are clearly seen, fifty copper coins are all literally facing up
In an instant, everyone was inhaling, and they didn't dare to make a sound, as if as long as they breathed harder, they would alarm the gods in the dark.
Ye Chang saw that the fifty coins were all words, and he was also very happy and said, "Sure enough, God bless me, Prime Minister Zhuge bless me, this time he will win, Ge Luofeng is just another Meng Huo."
"Long live, long live"
When the Tang people were excited, they would shout long live. As long as they were not in front of the emperor, there would be nothing like this. After a brief shock, someone took the lead in shouting, and then the three armies cheered in unison. The clouds that were originally accumulated in the hearts of the people disappeared in this cheer.
Li Bai and Cai Ming looked at each other, and all they saw in each other's eyes were shocked.
Wang Tianyun's face was devastated, and he fought against each other, and he wanted to kneel down immediately.
Ye Chang didn't look too proud, as if the things that the gods protected were taken for granted, he said lightly: "The gift of the gods should not be exposed to the world for a long time. If someone comes, he will nail the fifty coins with nails, cover them with green gauze and stone slabs. When I return from victory, I will get them again."
His personal soldiers immediately came up, nailed the copper coins one by one with big iron nails, and then covered them with green yarn. Then, he dragged a few stone slabs from somewhere and pressed the green yarn.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder I have been in the army for so many days and are just soldiers. I finally understand now." Guan Gao from the other side was amazed and whispered to Miao Zhongliang.
“Why?”
"We are clearly blind. Ambassador Ye is protected by God and Prime Minister Zhuge's guidance. But we repeatedly scolded him behind his back if he hadn't remembered the villain's fault, I'm afraid we would have been killed by God long ago. How could we survive until now, so we are so blind and ungrateful, so how could we be promoted to an official?"
“Actually reasonable”
The muttering of the two of them was the thoughts of most of the tens of thousands of soldiers present.
At first, they were dissatisfied with Ye Chang's eagerness to march, but now they all felt that Ye Chang's request was taken for granted. It was not that there were not a single one of the tens of thousands of people in the army who were smart, but because most of these soldiers were taken from Shu. At this time, the soldiers in Shu were superstitious and believed in ghosts and gods.
Even Li Bai, who is knowledgeable and has a lot of knowledge, can't even close his chin at this time.
Only Shanzhi looked at the copper coins covered by stone slabs and curled his lips: Ye Shiyi was pretending to be a god and a ghost again. When he was practicing martial arts, he started his business by pretending to be a god and a ghost. Now he still has to pretend to be a god and a ghost to win people's hearts.
Since Bu Zhi was a good match, Ye Chang stopped hesitating and ordered the camp to be drawn, leaving more than ten personal soldiers to guard the stone tablet. This time, none of the troops pushed the three and four, but they were all excited.
The army traveled for more than ten miles, Li Bai came to his senses and pulled Ye Chang and asked, "How did you do it?"
"What's the matter?"
"How to make fifty copper coins face upwards"
"This is a wonderful method of immortals, protected by gods, and cannot be said." Ye Chang pretended to be authentic.
The more he did this, the more anxious Li Bai became. He scratched his ears and his forehead and did not calm down for a long time.
After two more days of travel, the army arrived at Quyi, and the Tang Dynasty Tongqi County was originally located in the Baiman area. This place was originally where the Baiman people lived, but Piluo Pavilion destroyed the Baiman people and plundered all the nobles to the west of Erhai Lake to settle. When Ye Chang arrived here, he saw the four fields withered and dense forests, and felt a little desolate in his heart.
At this moment, the scouts came to report that the army of Nanzhao was raised, claiming to be 100,000, and had arrived in Yining. Its pioneering troops were welcomed to Kunchuan.
After hearing this news, the generals of the Tang army did not take it in their hearts. They were still immersed in the "miracle" protected by the gods, so they all shouted that they would fight the decisive battle with the Wuman for the vanguard.
Wang Tianyun is the most intense among them.
"Please share with the last general and the side division. The last general is willing to issue a military order. He will win this battle. He will come to see him if he is not defeated."
Everyone knew very well that each of the Liuzhao tribes only had 10,000 to tens of thousands of people. Even if the Baiman tribes have been expanded and merged in recent years, the total number of troops in Nanzhao may not be 100,000. Wherever they gather 100,000 troops to fight, the most likely force of troops in Nanzhao is 20,000 to 30,000, and its vanguard forces are only thousands.
In the case of a comparable number of people, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were not afraid of any army of this era. Of course, the premise was sufficient materials and good health. Xianyu Zhongtong's failure to return to the southern expedition last time was that the army suffered from the epidemic, and most of the casualties were killed.
Wang Tianyun was eager to get things, and Ye Chang also understood his thoughts very well. Wang Tianyun looked down on Ye Chang before, and he was afraid of offending Ye Chang, so he tried to show his strength and wanted to take credit.
"Wang Yuhou wants to go out to fight, which is exactly what I want, but... I hope Wang Yuhou will do this." Ye Chang pondered for a moment: "This battle can only be defeated, but not won."
"What?" Wang Tianyun became anxious when he heard this: "If you are defeated, you are not allowed to win, then I won't go."
"If you lose this battle, you will remember your first merit." Ye Chang said.
Wang Tianyun felt confused and could still remember his first achievements when he was defeated. How could such a beautiful thing be done?
According to Ye Chang's words, he led two thousand people who were good at running and fleeing as the pioneers and headed towards Kunchuan. After all, this place was a barbarian. Even if it belonged to Baiman, there were many people who spoke with Nanzhao. Therefore, he led his troops along the ancient Tea-Horse Road, and there were barbarians who took a small path and crossed the mountain. When he was more than twenty miles away from Kunchuan, he looked around and saw the deep forest, the narrow road, the long grass, the road was slippery, and half the mountain and half the valley. He couldn't help but feel a trembling heart: What a place to attack is?
He looked back at his troops and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
As Ye Chang said, the one he led was the best runners selected among the 30,000 troops. Generally, escaping means being timid and slick, and all of these people are like this.
What made Wang Tianyun even more incredible was that in addition to sending some unrestrained soldiers to him, he also asked him to escort more than forty cargoes of supplies.
This car is a chicken bus, and it is a bit difficult to walk on the road with plank roads everywhere. In addition, the baskets and packages on the soldiers are carrying, which is not like a formal army, but rather like a group of fleeing famines.
"Be careful, don't be ambushed," he shouted.
Among the three thousand people, Miao Zhongliang and Guan Gao shrank their heads and gasped and complained to each other. They all felt that it was because of the bad things that Ye Chang was known behind the scenes that they ended up in this tragic task.
Hearing Wang Tianyun's orders from the school guard in front of him, Miao Zhongliang couldn't help but start complaining.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop talking. Halfway through the narrow cliff road, he still kept nagging. At this moment, he heard the clapper sounding in front of him, and the arrows were like rain, and he ejaculated to his head.
"Ahhh" Seeing this, Miao Zhongliang threw away the package on his body, turned around and left.
Guan Gao reacted slowly, and was hit by him, and he staggered and almost fell down the cliff next to the five-foot road. Looking at the rest of the soldiers, they all threw away their armor and fled.
Without pretending, Wang Tianyun's army was very embarrassed. The barbarians were familiar with geography. This time the encounter was a surprise attack. The terrain was narrow and even if there was a force, it was impossible to unfold. Unpredictable, everyone thought about it first, and still retreated.
Although Wang Tianyun was mentally prepared, he was also stunned. He came back to his senses after a few breaths: "Run, run, don't want things, run."
He took the lead and fled, and saw the chicken buses and baskets on the back of soldiers throwing them all over the floor, and countless copper coins, cloths and silk were thrown out. In order to prevent these things from blocking the way to escape, they threw the capital down to the valley, and half of the valley was immediately filled with these belongings.
On the top of the mountain, Yang Mouli laughed when he saw this scene.
"The king wants me to be cautious. In my opinion, this baby general of the Tang Dynasty is just like this. He has no intention of fighting and has no courage. How dare he come to conquer me?"
He was the Baiman and was ordered to be the vanguard of the Nanzhao Army. When he received the news, he personally brought troops to welcome him and prepared to ambush the Tang army's vanguard. As soon as the two sides fought, the Tang army performed so unbearable that he suddenly became brave.
At this moment, a man from behind ran over panting: "Military General, the main force of the Tang army has moved."
"oh?"
However, it was the main force of the Tang army. After about an hour after the vanguard set off, they also started to set off. After hearing this news, Yang Mouli sneered: When they arrived, just wait to collect the body of the Tang army here.
"Chasing... Hey, hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and chase Tangren." He was about to issue the order to chase him, but what he saw in front of him made him furious and almost roar.
The barbarians under his command were not at all focused on Tang Jun, and almost everyone's eyes were staring at the wealth in the valley.
Although Yunnan has abundant resources, the barbarians have low production levels. In addition, the nobles are strong, so ordinary barbarians are very poor. It is the first time that some people have seen so many wealth in their lives, so there is no reason why they are not moved.
"What is this?" Someone couldn't help but shout when he saw the scattered shiny beads on the Five-foot Road.
"Pearl, is it the rumored night pearl?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it...it must be a good thing."
In fact, it is just a handful of glass beads, but although the price of glass beads has dropped, some have been introduced to Yunnan. However, for these ordinary barbarian soldiers, it is a rare goods that have never been seen. Although I don’t know what it is, as long as I see its shiny and translucent appearance, everyone feels that it is worthless.
Then he had a quick eye and quick look, picked up the glass beads and hid them in his pocket.
As long as one person could not control himself and went to pick up the property, the rest would not be willing to fall behind and stepped forward one after another. Moreover, most of the barbarian soldiers were temporarily recruited, and even their chief generals might not know them. Where can there be any military discipline?
First there were glass beads, then cloth and copper coins, and then there were robs of whatever they saw. Those who grabbed the things and had their pockets filled, threw away the weapons in their hands and took advantage of their time to grab the property. Those who didn't rob the things had to find a way to grab some from their companions.
Therefore, although Yang Mouli scolded and scolded him, the barbarians ignored him and fought for the property on the road. After picking up the road, everyone's attention turned to the valley. Compared with the continuous cloth and silk in the valley, there were too few on the road.
So everyone left the Five-Foot Road again and thought of a way to search for property in the valley. In just a moment, the Five-Foot Road was empty again.
Seeing this, Yang Mouli knew something was wrong and was about to order his personal soldiers to implement military laws. When he looked back, he found that his personal soldiers were gone.
"This is a treacherous plan for the Tang people, this is a treacherous plan for the Tang people." He immediately understood in his heart and shouted.
"Haha, I picked up another one," he shouted on the mountain, but the soldiers below all thought they had not heard it. The Tang army had just broken up and even threw away these valuable treasures. There was no other trickster. Everyone could hear it. The joy of their companions who were picking up glass beads scattered in the cracks of the stones and the roots of the trees.
Yang Mouli's forehead suddenly burst out with cold sweat. He rushed towards the mountain road, but before he could reach the mountain road, he heard a "buzzing" sound incessantly.
"Oh..." The thought arose, and he felt his chest flare and his body was taken back a few steps.
He barely looked up and saw the mountains and fields full of Tang troops. He only cursed and cunned, then fell down and rolled down the hillside. Before he could roll to the bottom of the mountain, he was already exhausted.
"Kill, brothers, kill." Wang Tianyun was proud and energetic. He shouted and waved the knife in his hand. Most of the Tang soldiers beside him were obsessed with crossbows, and one crossbow was shot out, sweeping the scattered barbarians like mowing grass.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the barbarians coaxing money and property, he made a comeback. Now the Tang army has seized the hillside, and the ridge is so advantageous. Most of the barbarians have even hung up their bows in order to grab the money and have no power to fight back in order to grab the money and property.
"Grandma, I just cummed grandpa"
"There is also a bald monk... who shot you in the face, you can change your Dharma name to Yanshe."
"I really want money, I'm so sad, I'm still holding things when I die."
Miao Zhongliang was like a squirting wildly, shooting crossbow arrows one by one, and he was very brave in doing this unilateral massacre that did not require face-to-face fighting. Guan Gao next to him followed him, and he was a gourd that kept him silent from time to time to help him repair it. When they shot the crossbow arrows they carried, they looked at the valley and saw corpses everywhere and blood gathered into a stream.
"Great Victory"
"Great Victory"
Everyone woke up from their nervous state just now and immediately cheered.
This was indeed a great victory. The casualties on our side were insignificant. Most of them were twisted so hard that they fell down their arms because they were unable to walk on the mountain road. Nearly two thousand enemies were killed, at least half of them died. The rest either knelt on the ground and begged for mercy or fled into the forest.
"Ambassador Ye really has the help of the gods." Guan Gao heard everyone cheering and muttered in a low voice: "It's so easy to win."
"That's natural, you don't know, right? I heard that when Ambassador Ye was resting in Nanning Prefecture, he dreamed of Prime Minister Zhuge at night and was given three gifts by Prime Minister Zhuge. Today is just the first trick. He still has two tricks that he has not implemented," Miao Zhongliang said in a low voice.
"You used to say that he would pee his pants when he was on the battle formation. Bah, you are such a nonsense person, you must stay away from you in the future."
