There is no suspense in the exchange of hostages and money and goods in Daxue Mountain. Everything is completed according to the reservations of the two designers. When Tang Jun ordered the money and goods and handed over the hostages, nearly three thousand horse bandits suddenly flocked out of the valley. When Tang Jun, who came to hand over the handover, saw that the situation was not good, he immediately abandoned the money and goods and fled, but did not escape. He ran for a while, and stopped to watch from a distance, like a jackal who failed to hit a blow, waiting for another opportunity to take action.

It was too easy to return to the horse bandits intact, and it seemed a bit like a joke. The bandit leader Li Fei Yuanli looked solemn and did not feel the joy of success at all. Countless questions rolled in his heart. He settled his mother first and rushed the horse to Li Fei Shouyu's carriage.

At this time, Li Fei Shouyu was coming out of the carriage and waved to Tang Jun from afar and laughed, "Go and tell your governor, thank you for your hospitality."

"Second, what does Tang Jun mean? Are you going to sneak attack our Qingyang Mountain?"

Li Fei Yuanli was eight feet tall and had a purple face. He was born with a bloody mouth and a cluster of hard beards exploded like a hedgehog. If Ye Xiao saw him, he might have changed his habits and came out during the day.

Li Fei Shouyu looked back at his elder brother and said solemnly: "I guess it's the same. Look at this situation, are you really here to exchange it? If I'm right, as soon as I left, they went to Qingyang Mountain."

Li Fei Yuanli was shocked, "What should I do? The money and goods are as heavy as a mountain, so how can I get back? Moreover, the hundreds of cavalry were eyeing each other and there was no place to hide."

"It's okay!"

Li Fei Shouyu immediately shook his head and said, "I ruined all the cars, and even hundreds of them could not take away the money and goods. What we want is time. Now we send troops immediately, but it is not Qingyang Mountain, but Dunhuang. We go with great fanfare. I don't believe him, Li Qing will not look back!"

Li Fei Yuanli was silent for a while and said, "What if there are defenders in Dunhuang? We don't have any siege weapons and cannot be captured, and the officers and soldiers are coming from behind. What should we do if we are attacked from both sides?"

Li Fei Shouyu sighed, he looked up at the endless sky with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Brother, I actually have another idea, I'm afraid you won't agree."

The distant sky has turned golden, and before it could be sunset. In the distant southwest direction, the mountains gradually melted into the afterglow of the sunset, casting a long and thick shadow on the earth.

"Woo" was low, and the sound of solemn trumpets sounded twenty miles away from the Ganquan River Valley. Teams of neat Tubo soldiers appeared on the vast plateau, with battle flags flying, soldiers as dense as ant colonies, and cavalry traveled through the infantry formation. No one spoke, and only the sound of densely drawn footsteps rose and fell rhythmically on the ground, with a slow speed, but the vast momentum could crush any blocking objects.

This is the six thousand main force of the Tubo Army. Although there are infantry, it is only a hundred miles away from the front army. The unique physique of the plateau men makes them carry nearly a hundred kilograms of armor and supplies, and march across thousands of miles. The endurance of ordinary people and the courage of fearlessness have created the powerful combat power of the Tubo Army. Whenever there is a war, they line up and will be killed if they retreat.

The main general Tie Ren Sinuoluo had a gloomy face. He had just received the investigation. His front army was ambushed by the Tang army in Ganquan Water. The whole army was wiped out. Victory and defeat were common among military strategists. He didn't care, but to his surprise, the Tang army actually knew about his sneak attack. And at this moment, the original seamless plan was suddenly torn a big hole. It seemed that things were not as simple as Zamp thought.

At this time, a scout rushed over and jumped off his war horse from a distance, "Report to the general, and found the traces of the Tang army thirty miles ahead, about 30 thousand people, and the banner was "Gao".

‘Gao? Could it be that the Anxi Army is not successful?’

Tieben Sinoro was wondering that Zanpu’s intelligence was inaccurate, and the Doulu army seemed to have not decreased. Suddenly, he heard that it was Anxi Army, and he immediately felt suspicious, but another kind of uneasiness came to his mind. How many soldiers did the other party have?

"Send the order and set up camp on the spot, and let more scouts go out!"

Although it was midsummer, the dawn on the plateau was extremely cold, as if the heat accumulated in the daytime was sucked away by the boundless universe overnight. A trace of fish belly appeared slightly in the east sky. Li Qing sat on a big rock, looking at the snow on the distant mountains in the south, but at this time they were still gray and black, like Muslim women wearing black scarves.

At this moment, he was missing another woman. Thousands of miles south, she should return to her mother's side, and her belly should also be bulging like a curtain, and there was her own flesh and blood. It had been four months since she was separated. She had no news. I wonder if she would come north to find herself after giving birth to the child. She should be, she was also a strong and persistent woman.

"What is Yangming thinking? Sitting here alone."

At some point, Li Siye had quietly come to his side and smiled side by side with him, "I can't fall asleep too. This battle will be a severe test for us tomorrow."

Speaking of this, he stared at Li Qing, "Especially for you, this will be your first formal battle between the two armies. The success or failure of this battle is crucial to your future achievements."

Li Qing frowned slightly, "I am indeed a little worried, worried that I will not be able to command this battle tomorrow, and I will still use less to hit more."

Li Siye smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "This is not a battle. The real battle is at the back. Logistics, food, supplies, and military mobilization. It will take at least half a year to get rid of one battle after another. And tomorrow will be an encounter, which is the same as the battle you fought in eastern Yunnan. It's just a little more people, so you don't have to worry."

Li Qing smiled. He stood up, shook the cold frost on his body, stretched out his arms and straightened his waist long, and smiled and said, "I can't wait after hearing what you said."

He took a long breath of the biting cold air and raised his head. The distant mountains on the other side of the river were covered with a layer of light. It was dawn. Behind the dark ridges, a red sun appeared, the shadow of the night had melted, the earth woke up, and the weather was full of weather: the grass was thick on the vast wasteland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; the mist in the valley was vast, with shimmering lights; to the east, Shule Mountain and Qilian Mountain stood together, blue and purple lights shone together, and the top of the mountain that reached the sky was like a piece of black jade, covered with white snow, and colorful and dazzling under the bright red morning light.

Li Qing exhaled the biting cold air, and his mind immediately became extremely clear. He shouted loudly: "Order all the soldiers to get up and abandon all the debris!"

The sky emitted thousands of rays of light, and the east wind blew strongly. Li Qing stood in front of the army. He was tall and majestic. His long black hair was floating in the wind under the high helmet. The corners of his mouth were stretched into a straight line. His cold and hard face was full of strength and unyielding and fearlessness.

"Woo" the loud and high-pitched horn sound echoed in the river valley. This was the order of the Tang army to set off. Other horn sounds also sounded, and the rumbling drums sounded, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, directly into people's hearts, inspiring people to move forward and making the soldiers feel high morale.

"Advance, march towards the Tubo people!"

He shouted, and the war horses jumped out. Behind him, the battle flag of the Anxi Army was rolled in the wind, and teams of Tang soldiers rose and drove straight to the distance. Li Qing ran away with his horse, his white mane flying, floating on his helmet, and the guards on both sides roared forward, like surging waves running towards the coast.

The weather is clear, with a few light clouds floating in the sky, the wind is turning into a west wind, and the wind speed is increasing.

The Tubo army stood quietly on a wide hill. At the highest point of the hill, the Tubo general Tie Ren Sinuoluo, who was riding a high horse, stared at the distance. Suddenly, he saw a wriggling black line about five miles away, slowly moving towards this side, becoming clearer and clearer. The flags turned into clouds and the armor was cold. "Three thousand people! He had only three thousand people at most," Tie Ren Sinuoluo's heart rose. He would definitely win this battle.

The Tang army stopped two miles away. Three thousand troops and one thousand crossbowmen were garrisons. In front of the crossbowmen, a thousand heavy armored Modao hand integrated a square formation and was in the forefront, standing in three rows, like three thick iron walls. Behind the team were a thousand light cavalry, holding long spears and crossing swords in their hands. The war horses had already felt the murderous aura that was coming, and were roaring at any time.

When the two armies were facing each other, both sides were accumulating strength and waiting to go. The strength of the Tubo army lies in their armor. They are not like the Tang army equipped with Mingguang armor, but mostly wear chain armor. They are exquisitely crafted and fine, and ordinary swords are hard to cut into. In addition, the Tubo sword-making technology is also high, so the main equipment of the Tubo army is long swords, but the weakness of the Tubo army is bow and crossbow. His bow and crossbow technology is backward and the range is not long, so it is difficult to shoot through the Tang army's armor. Gu'er equipment is very few. When they set out from Logs (now Lhasa), they were equipped with infantry and half cavalry, but the two thousand cavalry of the front army were ambushed by Li Qing in Ganquanshui and were wiped out by the entire army. At this time, the structure of the Tubo army was four thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, but the momentum of the Tubo army fighting to the death was their magic weapon to win.

The Tang army was different. It was well-equipped. Crossbows, armors and swords were the three magic weapons of the Tang army, especially the Anxi Army, who was brave and good at fighting. There were many Hu people in the army, tall and mighty, and equipped with heavy armored sword hands, which made its opponents frightened. In the Battle of Talas, the 20,000 Anxi Army went on a voyage of thousands of miles against the 270,000 coalition forces of Dashi, and created a brilliant record of killing tens of thousands of enemies and being injured by 800.

A strong wind blew across the open battlefield, and the flying sandstorm dyed the sky gray, but the two armies still did not move. The Tubo general Tie Blade Sinuo was waiting, waiting for the Tang army to come out first to weaken the power of the Tang army's crossbow arrows.

The chief general of the Tang army, Li Qing, was also waiting, using Henggu's unchanging patience. The Tubo army first came out of the battle, and used a powerful crossbow to weaken the enemy's vitality. The two generals seemed to be competing for their minds to see who could wait until the end.

Time passed by little by little, moment by moment, and half an hour passed. Li Qing's pupils had become a straight line, but there was no expression on his rock-hard face. His expression was grim. Without orders, Tang Jun was not allowed to move. The iron blade Sinuoluo's square face was also cold and there was no reaction. Finally, his fingers moved, his arms slowly raised, and three words popped out from his tight lip line: "Infantry!"

The Tubo army, which had the advantage of military strength, finally attacked first. The sound of the skin drum of the "dong!dong" was shocking. The Tubo army of sixty people slowly started to start, forming a fifty-row square formation, filled with a huge murderous aura. Each soldier's eyes were dead gray, with a shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, heading towards the Tang army step by step, moving faster and faster. The shield was raised high, and the sword flashed with cold cold light.

The faster you go, the more dense you go, the more intensive you go, and the team is neat and not chaotic. Such a square formation is an effective means for infantry to deal with cavalry. In the face of dense defense, the impact of cavalry is of no use at all. The only way is to use archers to shoot the straits, revealing the gap, and let the cavalry break in.

Li Qing silently calculated the range. The Tubo army had reached 300 steps and entered the range of the Tang army's Fuyuan Crossbow. He suddenly raised his arm and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

The commander's order seemed to be a thunderclap sounding in his ears, and the dense sound of clappers sounded. A thousand Tang soldiers were divided into three rows and shot arrows in turn, and the armored arrows roared and shot. The Tubo army raised their shields to resist the fast-moving death-taking arrows. The arrows were nailed to the shields, which shocked the hands of the Tubo soldiers. However, the Tubo army was too dense and the arrows were everywhere. They shot into the gaps between the shields, shot on their legs, and shot on their heads. Tubo soldiers kept getting caught and fell to the ground, but the giant shield blocked most of the arrows and did not cause much damage to the enemy.

It was already 200 steps. Seeing that the opponent's formation was tight, the crossbowman would not shoot in the corners of the formation, and using cavalry to fight would be unfavorable. Without hesitation, he gave a low order, "Get out the Mo Dao!"

As if a dragon roared, Li Siye roared and his mountain-like body pressed towards the Tubo army. He saw his huge head as big as a lion, huge and terrifying. The iron armor on his body was as heavy as a thousand pounds, wrapping his whole body tightly. Only a pair of eyes shining with terrible light appeared under his helmet. A snow-shining Mo knife about a stunning whirlwind in his hand. The blades on both sides were extremely sharp, with sharp thorns in front, which could be slashed or stabbed. Behind him, rows of Tang army battle vanished, like a cliff that was steep, each wearing heavy armor, with a huge shield on his back, dancing with Mo knife, and his cold eyes shot a terrifying gaze.

Fifty Steps Thirty Steps Ten Steps

Like two huge waves, the infantry of the two armies collided, stirring up a thousand-foot waves, and collided with the waves, and collided into terrifying waves. The Tang army swept forward like a wind-spouting sword, slashing hard, and swords and swords collided, making a clang, and a clang sound. The Tang army was tall and long, and the special training made him skillful sword skills and powerful. This was the trump card of the Anxi Army. The sharp knife split the shield in half, chopped on iron armor, or on the head, or on the armour, and suddenly the blood arrows soared into the sky, crying, and moaned suddenly. The blade slashed the dense Tubo army in rows, as if mowing grass. The violent Tang army battle vanguard was like a storm, kicking everything, overwhelming everything, and invincible everything.

Although he was at a disadvantage in the fight, the Tubo army relied on several times the number of people that were the Tang army, and resisted tenaciously. One row fell down and the other row topped the top, maintaining the chaos of the array and fighting fiercely with the Tang army.

Two Tubo Qiangs in the middle of the camp saw Li Siye, the leader of the Tang army's Modao, who was extremely arrogant and like a fierce god descending to the earth. Wherever he passed, he was slashed with flesh and blood, and his head was covered with the ground. The two shouted loudly, one on the left and one on the right. Li Siye had already seen these two people, his eyes were lit up. He took a step back and let the sword that was fighting to the death. He shouted loudly. The Modas in his hand stabbed like lightning. The spike cut the other's throat and rolled the body to the ground. Another Qiangs sword had already been cut. He said it was a sudden momentum. He slashed the opponent's sword with his backhand and slashed towards the opponent's sword. The sword was cut off, and the sword was still rapid. He slashed the thousand-man long into two halves from the right head and shoulder straps. The Tang army suddenly felt thunderous and his morale rose.

At this time, the Tubo general Tie Ren Sinuoluo was shocked when he saw that the Tang army's Modao team was powerful and he actually fought against his three thousand infantry. However, he was a veteran who had been in the battlefield for a long time and was not panicked. The purpose of his sending infantry to the battlefield was to lead the opponent's Modao team and give his cavalry a chance. Since the purpose had been achieved, it was time for his cavalry to fight.

He carefully searched for the loopholes in the Tang army's deployment. Suddenly, he discovered that the Tang army's crossbow team was too close to the infantry, less than a hundred steps away. The Tang army's chief general did not retreat in time and gave up the distance. In this way, the power of the Tang army's long-range shooting would be greatly reduced.

After discovering this loophole, Tieben Sinuoluo sneered and at the command, a thousand Tubo cavalry rushed out and rushed towards both sides of the Tang army's Modao team. Then, he personally led a thousand infantry and under the cover of a thousand cavalry, quietly attacked the Tang army garrison from the side.

The Tang army chief Li Qing, who saw that the Tubo cavalry had been dispatched, attempted to attack the Modao team from the side.

He ordered: "Order the cavalry to attack!" The thousand cavalry located behind the Tang army immediately divided into two rows. Under the leadership of the cavalry chief Bai Xiaode, they fought against the Tubo cavalry. The soldiers were fighting against soldiers, generals, and generals, and there was a melee on the battlefield, but they were clearly organized and their respective formations were not chaotic.

Suddenly, a personal soldier screamed loudly, "Governor, look!"

When Li Qing heard the sound, he saw a Tubo cavalry and an infantryman quietly touching this side along the edge of the battlefield. Due to the slow speed, it was difficult to detect.

‘No! The Tubo people wanted to attack their garrison.’ Li Qing immediately guessed the other party’s purpose. It was not his negligence to retreat because of his failure to order the garrison to retreat, but because he had been in a stalemate for too long, and he was afraid that once he retreated, it would affect the morale of the soldiers.

But this also led to an opportunity by the other party. If you shoot with a crossbow arrow at this time, your cavalry will be injured. Li Qing ordered without hesitation: "The first to the fourth battalions form a sword and shield army and form a formation to fight!"

Almost every Tang army wore a horizontal sword and carried a giant shield on its back. With the commander's order, the eight hundred crossbow troops immediately turned into a sword and shield army, forming a large formation to resist the Tubo army's sneak attack. At this time, the Tang army's Modao Army had the upper hand. As long as they persisted for a while, the Modao Army could defeat the Tubo infantry and support them in turn.

But in the middle of the sword and shield square formation, the Fifth Battalion was still crossbowmen. They used a Fuyuan crossbow of 300 steps (about 450 meters) to shoot arrows at the Tubo cavalry running up. The arrows were armored arrows, and the arrows were sharp and long, and they were all over the hole. This was the most effective weapon against the Tubo people's chain mail. The arrows were powerful. The more than 100 cavalrymen who were running in front were immediately shot to the ground, but the distance was too close, and the Tubo cavalry immediately rushed to the front.

In the face of the infantry formation with strict formations, the light cavalry cannot take advantage of it. They can only find opportunities to disrupt the formation. Once the formation collapses, the cavalry will become the nemesis of the infantry.

The Tubo cavalry rushed left and right outside the Tang army's sword and shield army, trying to find loopholes, but arrows inside the sword and shield army kept roaring and shooting the cavalry one after another.

At this time, the Tubo general Tie Ren Sinuoluo had arrived, leading a thousand infantry soldiers. He shouted loudly, cursed angrily, and directed the Tubo army to rush towards the Tang army.

Li Siye's Mobing team had already fought with the Tubo army in a stalemate. Although the Modao Army was powerful, the enemy was three times more powerful than him. They were all brave and were afraid of death. They used the flesh and blood formation to entangle the Modao Army.

The Tang army's cavalry was relatively the weakest group of troops. One thousand cavalry and one thousand Tubo cavalry were barely tied and were unable to support the Tang army. As time passed, the Tubo army's advantage of large forces began to emerge.

The situation on the battlefield was confusing, and the Mo Dao Army still had the upper hand. The cavalry and the opponent were not in the right position to win or lose. The most tragic point was the sword and shield army that was temporarily changed from the crossbow army, which was killed so hard that flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and the corpses were piled up like mountains, and they were gradually suppressed and contracted and changed.

One thousand infantrymen fought to the death to resist the crazy attack of the two thousand people on the other side, but none of them took a step back. The Tang army commander Li Qing was guarded by three hundred personal guards in the middle of the camp. He saw the faces of each soldier, which were hopeless but wanted to die, inspiring their inner courage to die for the nation. Tears unknowingly slid down Li Qing's face. He had never been so moved as at this moment. Personal honor and disgrace, court struggles, all were far away from him at this moment. He had only the determination to shed blood for this country and the nation.

He resolutely snatched a huge horn and blew it to the sky. The horn sounded sorrowful and desolate, echoing on the battlefield for a long time, echoing in the hearts of every Tang army soldier, killing until the last person.

Suddenly, the distance seemed to be in response, and horns sounded one after another. A cavalry waved a variety of weapons, wearing mottled clothes, and covered them with murderous aura. In the sky, their eyes showed the same murderous aura as the Tang army. What flowed was the blood of the same country as the Tang army. Although they were horse bandits who killed people without blinking, they were all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in the face of defending the national and national honors.

The sword head is as sharp as a ray of light, and always has a licensed vision.

The iron cavalry chased the vicious enemy, and the Jin robbed the cunning Qiang.

In August and September, the land of Hu is windy and frost in the morning.

A man will die without hesitation, and he will have a courage to share with you.

In August of the fourth year of Tianbao, Tubo Zamp sent general Tie Ren Sinuoluo to lead 8,000 troops to attack Shazhou in an attempt to disrupt the strategic deployment of the Tang army and win the lead for the subsequent Longyou battle. However, in the Tubo territory near the Daxue Mountains, it was blocked by the Shazhou governor Li Qing and led 3,000 Tang troops. The war was fierce. Finally, with the support of the horse bandits led by Li Fei brothers, the Tang army won a great victory. In the end, less than a thousand Tubo troops left in the eight thousand Tubo troops fled back to Luosai. The main general Tie Ren Sinuoluo was seriously injured, and the Tang army was also seriously injured, with half of the three thousand people losing.
Chapter completed!
