Chapter 1778 Desperate situation, lore
Everyone''s perception of risk is different. They can be risk lovers or risk averse, but what is interesting is that when a person has nothing and has a certain amount of wealth and authority, For the same risk, attitudes may be completely opposite.
As the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, it is actually a matter of attitude towards risks.
Barefoot men can accept higher and even more dire risks because they have nothing to lose except their own life.
As for Falcon Tixi Boye, there are too many things that he does not want to lose, and is even afraid of losing.
These unwanted and unwilling to lose things are like a cage of thorns, trapping Falcon Tishi Boye firmly in the middle, no matter whether it is going left or right, it hurts very much when touched.
Normally speaking, when Falcon Tishi Boye found that Zhang Liao''s army could not be successfully defeated, he should think about how to retreat, but the problem is that Falcon Tishi Boye was reluctant and unwilling.
It''s like people often say "monkey spirit". Monkeys are smarter and smarter, but monkeys are often caught by hunters because they are reluctant to let go of the chestnuts in their hands. Similarly, human beings often refuse to let go of the gold and silver treasures in their hands even though they are in a high-ranking political position because they cannot give up their greed, and they end up in deep prison.
Onlookers, even when I think about it afterwards, will often feel that I was so stupid at the time. However, this kind of cognition cannot avoid falling into the trap of greed again and again, and then paying a heavy price.
After Zhang Chen set off from the western capital, he followed the guide day and night among the mountains.
Compared with the area in southern Sichuan, the woodlands of the Loess Plateau in the northwest are mostly ferns, and there are not as many poisonous insects as in the temperate tropics. In addition, with the arrival of winter, even some poisonous snakes and beasts have entered a state of hibernation, so Although it is difficult to walk, it is not impossible to move forward.
The further west you go, the lower the sky seems to be.
A few days before it snowed, the cumulus clouds in the sky seemed to be pressing on the top of the head, and a piece could be torn off by reaching out. And the closer it is to snowing, the darker it becomes, and then even people will feel chest tightness and even a dull pain.
There are already three sons, just walking, panting, suddenly unable to speak, like a broken bellows, wheezing and pulling, and finally the whole body turns purple and dies.
Zhang Chen could only silently take off their nameplates and carried them in his arms. It is impossible to even bury them. It''s not that they don''t want to let them go to the ground to rest in peace, but in the plateau area, digging a hole is a heavy physical labor. Maybe they just lay down by themselves after digging a hole...
After the wind picked up gradually, snowflakes began to fall sporadically. On the contrary, I felt a lot more comfortable, and my chest no longer felt tight. Decrease instead of increase, and the journey is more flexible and convenient.
Sled, although it is not easy to learn, but once mastered, it will become an instinct of the body just like riding a bicycle, and then it will become more and more proficient.
The detour from Xidu to Riyue Mountain was only discovered by the Qiang people in the mountains. Perhaps a glacier tens of millions of years ago carved out ravines on the Loess Plateau. Because there were few people, when Zhang Chen and others walked forward, they didn''t even meet any other people.
Originally traveling on the Loess Plateau, the biggest problem was the water source. This was also the biggest reason why Fu Tishi Boye did not deliberately investigate and guard against Zhang Chen and others'' detours. In the memory of Fu Ti Xi Boye, there was no If there is a source of water, it is naturally impossible for soldiers to go around. However, the falcon mentioned that Xi Boye ignored one thing, that is, it was snowing.
The heavy snow all over the sky is the source of water.
At dawn, the lush forest canopy is covered with heavy snow, giving people an extraordinarily gloomy and gloomy feeling. The jackdaw on the treetop was awakened by the sound of footsteps, flapped its wings and opened its mouth to cry, but an arrow pierced its throat soundlessly.
The jackdaw rolled and fell, a soldier stepped forward, and the habitual dignitaries were about to pick it up as a supplement for today''s dry food, but Zhang Chen stopped it...
Because not far ahead is the camp of Falcon Tishi Boye, a rear camp with little defense.
The problem now is to send a signal to Zhang Liao.
The heavy snow has stopped, and the falcons in front of the camp facing Zhang Liao in the east are naturally the strongest line of defense and the most stalwart Tibetans, while those on the river bank are women, children and children in charge of logistics. Busy cooking food, cleaning utensils, or tending to livestock.
『It’s really careless, I didn’t even set up a beacon tower or a sentry tower...』
Zhang Chen underestimated and said something, then squinted his eyes and continued to check.
The heavy snowfall helped Zhang Chen and others to replenish their drinking water, but it also helped Falcon to mention Xi Boye, which made the power of the fire attack drop a lot, or even unusable.
If you can''t attack with fire, what can you do?
Zhang Chen squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn''t come up with any brilliant ideas in the end, and he still had a sullen face when he stepped back.
『Come on, everyone! 』
Zhang Chen greeted, and then slowly looked around, "Everyone, some of you are veterans following General Zhang, and some are members of the Zhang family. This time, we did go to the rear of the enemy, but you have also seen it, Xue It is very big, and there is snow on the Tubo people''s luggage, so the original fire attack plan...it''s not working now...It''s not that it can''t be used, but the effect may not be as good as before...』
『However, there is bad news and good news...』 Zhang Chen glanced over the faces of each person, and said in a deep voice, “These Tibetans haven’t noticed our arrival yet! This is our chance! General Zhang is still waiting for us to signal him! Think about it, now we only have two paths, one plan fails, give up the attack, just do nothing and return, the other path...』
『It''s war! Come down with me, beat ''em, mess up their livestock! Drive out their people! Just like the barbarians drove us away back then! Send a signal to General Zhang, be here with General Zhang, and completely defeat this group of guys! Then you can drink their wine, eat their food, and eat their beef and mutton! 』
The more Zhang Chen said, the more excited he was. He originally thought that this would arouse the fighting spirit and desire to survive in these soldiers, but he didn''t expect that after he finished speaking, the surrounding area was silent. After a while, someone said: "Captain Lieutenant Just tell me what to do next! 』
Zhang Chen (;Д`) was a little discouraged and said: "How much dry food is left, take it out and divide it all up, take a good rest after eating!" When noon comes, follow me and attack as a whole! 』
This cunning ancestor is really not easy to fool!
At noon, the sun shone on the snow, and it was extremely dazzling. Zhang Chen was covered with a black veil, looking at the back camp of Falcon Tixi Boye. Although there are occasionally a few soldiers patrolling unsteadily, most of them are not used to such a dazzling environment. They are huddled in the camp tents, and few people are outside Activity…
Although it is said that sleds cannot be used in combat, there is also a simple version of snow boots, that is, wooden strips are tied to the soles of the feet to increase the contact area, so that it will not make a hole in the foot when walking on the snow, although it is not enough. There is no trace of walking on the snow, but it can already be of great help and provide the possibility of trotting.
Zhang Chen squinted, looked and looked, then silently raised the saber in his hand and shook it twice as a signal, and then led the people to start groping into the camp. The last two or three soldiers took out the treasured fire scythe and fire oil, and began to light the bonfires arranged in the shape of "pin"...
The semi-dry wood was ignited, and puffs of black smoke gradually rose.
After following General Hussars for a long time, many routines have been used for a long time, such as charging and screaming from a long distance during a surprise attack, or standing in front of the formation to take a breath and give a name to find the other party The generals have been singled out and so on, and they have been repeatedly cast aside by the Hussar generals in the martial arts hall...
Therefore, everyone quietly followed Zhang Chen forward, even at a slow pace, like a group of people going back to the camp, until some soldiers in the camp of Falcon Tishi Boye noticed something was wrong, stood up and pointed at Zhang Chen. When Chen asked, Zhang Chen shouted violently and charged forward with a knife!
『Kill! 』
Almost when Zhang Chen strode forward and charged forward, the soldiers following Zhang Chen also shouted together, and then rushed towards the nearest target!
In the back camp of Falcon Tishi Boye, there are only about twenty Tubo soldiers guarding the camp, and there has been no special situation for such a long time, so except when on duty and patrolling, most of them Most of the time they were gathered in one place, farting, chatting and sleeping, and suddenly heard murderous shouts, they couldn''t help but froze on the spot, and didn''t react for a long time.
When Zhang Chen led his men over the not-so-high fence and plunged into the camp, the guards reacted and raised their spears to block the attack, but they were chopped down by Zhang Chen and his men three times. on the ground.
『Push it to the tent! Burn it if you can! Zhang Chen shouted loudly. Although it is said that there is a lot of snow, whether it is action or hacking, it is not very convenient, but the condition is that both sides are like this, and those Tibetan women, children and children in the camp are screaming and running around in panic, completely Can not bring any obstacles to Zhang Chen and others. In twos and threes, the Tubo soldiers who came out of their tents hurriedly came to resist, some of them couldn''t open their eyes, they couldn''t form a formation, and they fell to the ground spattered with blood.
Zhang Chen held up his saber and relied on his snow boots to run across the snowy ground, shouting, "Kill!" Those who stand in my way die! Drive them ahead! 』
The warm and viscous red liquid splashed around, which was particularly eye-catching on the white snow.
The chaos gradually expanded, and three streaks of black smoke rose into the sky above the mountains, as if they were going to connect the heaven and the earth together!
Well, add more today...
The old rules, nine o''clock.
