According to the plan, they were going to fight an ambush battle, General Wei and Li Tianqi led 2,000 men and horses on the left side, 2,000 men and horses led by An Tuolu on the right side to ambush, and the other 1,000 men and horses were led by a number of captains, blocking the retreat of the Tufan army, catching turtles in an urn, and only waiting for the group of men and horses from Songpan to reach the ambush circle and then attack them from both sides to eliminate them.

All the combatants were to be dressed in cloth, and they had to drive out overnight to rush to the ambush site as soon as possible, and General Wei had also calculated the time, and it happened to be night when they set out to ambush and destroy the enemy and rush back to the southwest camp, which was conducive to the secret implementation of the plan.

The Southwest Battalion left 1,000 men and horses to continue to perform the duties of secret guards.

As soon as the plan was drawn up, the generals began to send orders to assemble the troops, General Wei took off his military uniform and put on civilian clothes and walked with a knife, and Li Tianqi also hurried back to meet Zhou Ruolin and the two, and was about to set off with the army.

In such a short period of time, the army has been assembled, and it seems that these sergeants are well-trained and respond quickly.

Although the matter is urgent, it is still conducive to Zhou Ruolin and Qing'er to carry out the investigation from the perspective of the situation, although the time to leave here will be delayed, but there is really no way, after all, it is to protect the family and defend the country, in terms of heart, Li Tianqi is very willing to participate in the war.

This time the camp did not take the road when Li Tianqi and others came, but went to another exit of the southwest camp. Although it is also a level of checkpoints, due to the fact that they are marching out to fight, and they are led by the main and deputy generals, they all turned out of the west exit without much inquiry.

There was a hurried march, and before dawn they laid an ambush beside a ravine, but before the three poles could wait for the enemy to be reported, even the scouts sent out came back one after another to say that they had not found the enemy.

At this time, many people also began to lose their hold. Some generals have sent people to inquire about General Wei's situation.

General Wei was also a little unsure, and once again sent a probe horse to explore the way, but in the afternoon he also returned one after another to report that he had indeed not seen a large-scale merchant team.

General Wei told the horses to continue their exploration until they found a large number of merchants coming here.

Could it be that the information is wrong? General Wei was also suspicious, at this time the troops had eaten up the dry rations they had brought with them, and even if they survived the day, they had to rush back to the camp tonight, otherwise everyone would starve.

Just when all the troops were restless, Tanma quickly reported that he had found a convoy five miles away, not only was the car full of goods, but there were also hundreds of people accompanying it, which looked like a huge caravan.

All the armies were overjoyed, and finally waited for the enemy.

When General Wei heard about this situation, he did not look happy at all, but was still a little worried, Li Tianqi didn't know what he was thinking, so he took the opportunity to ask, only to know that General Wei was worried about the defense of the southwest battalion.

At the beginning, the report received was that there were 3,000 Tufan troops, and the Tufan bows and crossbows and scimitars were very sharp, and the soldiers were also extremely fierce, although the Tang army was ambushed this time, but the Tang army had to be twice as large as the enemy to win, but now it seems that this wave of enemies did not come together, but in batches, so there is no need to ambush so many military horses here, in fact, one or two thousand people are enough.

It's just that I received the news too hastily last night, and if I didn't attack quickly, I was worried that I would miss the ambush opportunity and the best ambush location.

But now that the military situation has changed, General Wei is naturally worried about the safety of the headquarters of the southwest battalion.

Li Tianqi didn't know the subtlety of being an official, he only knew that at this time, the Tufan people came in batches, they must be outnumbered, and the casualties of the Tang army will also be minimized, which can not only destroy the enemy but also preserve the strength of his own national army, this is a rare opportunity to have the best of both worlds.

General Wei's worry was not necessary in his eyes, and Li Tianqi also expressed his opinion, and General Wei reluctantly raised his spirit after hearing it.

Li Tianqi also desperately hopes to complete the task of destroying the enemy here as soon as possible, and return to the camp earlier, after this day and night, Zhou Ruolin and Qing'er must have found out the secret in the barracks, so is the nine-headed worm hidden here?

The stones on the Gobi were scorched by the sun, and at this moment, in front of the canyon, I finally saw the merchants who were walking over, and it was really a big group of Tufan merchants, and dozens of sturdy men sat on dozens of horses in front of them, with turbans wrapped around their heads and scimitars around their waists, looking like a group of dart masters. Behind them were wagons laden with goods, flanked by many vendors on foot.

They all looked like men, between twenty and forty years of age, like sergeants more than merchants.

Each car also has a small pennant on it, and the small flag is embroidered with the word "Shang".

A group of more than 30 Tang soldiers dressed as bandits who cut the path first stepped forward to test and interrogate to determine whether they were really passing merchants, but before the three sentences arrived, although they already knew that the other party was indeed Tufan, but the opponent's hard-dressed dart masters had already drawn out their scimitars, and without answering, they rushed towards the Tang army of more than 30 people. It seems that they are also weak-minded, worried that their identities will be exposed, and seeing that the number of bandits who cut the path is small, they want to find an opportunity to eliminate them quickly.

"Bang, bang, bang" three cannons rang out, and the three armies ambushed around the canyon moved together, and suddenly shouted and killed.

When the traders who were accompanying them heard the sound of cannons, they knew that they had been ambushed, so they ran to the nearest carriage and took out the scimitars and crossbows hidden in them, and fought with the Tang army without fear.

After all, the number of people was at a disadvantage, and after half an hour, all of these Tufan people died of stubborn resistance, leaving no one alive. The Tang army suffered more than 100 casualties and killed more than 500 enemies.

The wagons were carrying a great deal of goods, but they were shoddy and inferior goods, and it was evident at a glance that they were not ordinary trade goods, but were only used for cover-up. Each carriage had a mezzanine with a number of weapons hidden inside.

General Wei wanted to catch some live mouths to inquire about the situation, but the current facts made him have no choice but to send people to quickly clean up the battlefield and prepare for the next batch of Tufan troops.

However, due to the change in the enemy's situation, although he won the first battle, he still decided to let An Tuolu take more than 2,000 people first, and rush back to the southwest camp in advance, while he left 2,000 people, still according to the previous deployment, but the number of troops was reduced by half.

But after waiting in place for another hour, there was no new report of the enemy situation on Tanma. General Wei looked at the sky, and suddenly remembered that he had asked the flying pigeon to pass on the book to ask the spies in Tufan's country.

After waiting for a long time, he finally waited for the spies in Tufan's country to send a message to report that there were 520 Tufan officers and soldiers pretending to be merchants, not 3,000.

This not only surprised General Wei, but Li Tianqi also felt that something was wrong. It seems that the news came last night was wrong, and it must have been manipulated, and the purpose was to lure out the main strength of the southwest battalion.

General Wei hurriedly ordered all the booty to be discarded and immediately returned to the camp.

When they were still ten miles away from the southwest camp, they saw the corpses of people in cloth clothes all over the ground, these people were obviously the Tang army who came out with them, and they were the soldiers who returned with Antuolu.

After counting the number of people, there were thousands of people, and General Wei felt that something was wrong, and then Tanma reported that he had found hundreds of corpses of his own people in the dense forest on the left side of the official road and half a mile to the left, and there was a faint sound of fighting and shouting from inside.

General Wei then led the armies forward, and the large army stepped into the woods, and dozens of eagles suddenly flew inside, spreading their wings and hovering in the air.

Sure enough, they heard the shouts of killing coming from the forest, and from time to time they heard the roars of monsters.

General Wei led everyone into the depths of the forest, only to find that An Tuolu was covered in blood, and led more than 800 remaining sergeants to fight hard with more than 30 rock crack Gu bears and blue-faced fanged beasts, these monsters with huge size and hard skin were extremely fierce, although it seemed that An Tuolu had a large number of people, but in fact they were besieged by these giant monsters, and occasionally some sergeants were timid for a while because of their youth, and wanted to quietly escape out of the forest, but they were caught up by the blue-faced fanged beast or the rock crack Gu bear and were bitten alive.

Li Tianqi has seen these things, but now even the rare blue-faced tusked beasts have actually appeared with these rock crack Gu bears, it seems that the Nian Changfeng behind him has also taken the blue-faced tusked beasts into his bag, and has cultivated more powerful varieties, because these green-faced tusked beasts are even more fierce, and between their moves, there are two or three besieged Tang troops killed under them, and these blue-faced tusked beasts will also eat while fighting, although the movements are slower than the rock crack Gu bears, but it is even more terrifying.

Because Tang Jun came out this time in cloth clothes, there was no piece of armor on his body, and he was more likely to be injured, but after a while, dozens of people were killed at their hands, and the two rock crack Gu bears also fell to the ground with a bang, and were quickly captured by the Peng Eagle flying from the sky.

"Withdraw!" General Wei suddenly gave an order! It seems that he has judged that the situation here is critical, and it is inconvenient to participate. If he also ordered his subordinates to participate in the battle, although he might win, he would inevitably pay a heavy price, and obviously his mission was to protect the secrets of the southwest battalion, not to rescue his subordinates and risk the annihilation of the whole army, and at this moment, the news he got last night was completely the enemy's plan, and these monsters in front of him were unseen, and for the sake of the overall situation, he could only abandon his comrades.

Although some of the hot-blooded sergeants were excited to join the battle when they saw their brother troops suffering this calamity, most of them wanted to evacuate when they saw that it was twilight and that the beasts and monsters were extremely fierce.

Just as General Wei ordered the evacuation, whether they wanted to or not, the army quickly retreated.

However, Li Tianqi had had many contacts with these monsters, and it was not in line with his style of acting if he didn't save him, so he asked General Wei for battle.

General Wei just wanted to return to the camp quickly at this time, and when he saw these birds of prey monsters at this moment, he was already worried about whether he had fallen for Tufan's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he didn't think about it carefully, and allocated a hundred sergeants who were willing to fight to follow Li Tianqi to stay here, and he himself quickly returned to the camp......
