The battle of the Wuhu River ended with a complete victory for the Tang State and the capture of 40,000 horses. But in the far west of Sichuan, there was another shocking news.

The special investigation bureau's fast horse flew to Cui Xiuning, who was still in Wuhu: "The Tubo tribes have finally sent troops!" The striker has arrived in Songzhou (Songpan)! ”

"Duo Sima, Duo Gansi, and Wu Si Zang's three major propaganda divisions have all sent troops! Nine of the thirteen 10,000 households in Weizang sent troops, five of the 60,000 households in Kham sent troops, and all the four 10,000 households in Amdo District sent troops! ”

"The troops of each department are not equal, and it is better to add up to 80,000 cavalry!"

It has been four months since Kublai Khan ordered the Tibetan tribes to send troops, and it is time for them to send troops.

Cui Xiuning was a little shocked when he got the report, this was news many days ago. Needless to say, the Tibetan army must have entered Sichuan by now.

It is estimated that within ten days, he will be able to return to the state (Zigui) and enter Huguang!

Fortunately, the Tibetan tribes only sent out 80,000 soldiers and horses, which was less than expected. But it didn't come at the right time.

The battle in Hengyang is not over yet, and Jiangling Lu Wenhuan still has the upper hand. If 80,000 plateau iron cavalry suddenly came to Huguang, then the battle situation...

"Don't worry, don't worry, doesn't Junma have an army of 50,000 in Banzhou? As long as the county horses send troops to guard the main road out of Sichuan, and block the Tubo cavalry in Sichuan, they can buy for a period of time. Stone Coral said.

Cui Xiuning nodded. Banshu is a half-light and half-dark move. The Yuan court must have known that Banzhou had secretly rebelled, but Banzhou did not pull the flag and raise troops, and now the Yuan court should not know.

But now, Banshu must raise troops in advance.

…………

On the first day of the first lunar month, it was New Year's Day (ancient New Year's Day), but Banzhou did not have any New Year's atmosphere, but was full of tension everywhere.

On this day, Boguo Gong and Banzhou Xuanyu Yang Hanming suddenly announced that Yi Zhi would return to Tang and raise troops against the Yuan!

On the same day, Yang Hanming, who had already prepared, left 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Loushan Pass, and 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the territory, and personally led 30,000 troops to the north and went straight to Sichuan.

He had to raise his army, because the Tibetan soldiers and horses had already entered Sichuan.

At this time, Sichuan was also in the limelight.

A few days ago, a large number of Tibetan soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in Songzhou, and then rolled east. Since Sichuan was still in the hands of the Yuan court, the Tubo army did not loot in Sichuan, let alone stay, but went directly to the east without stopping.

The intention is very obvious, out of the river into Chu!

The commander of the Tibetan army was Yuxi Timur, an important minister of the Yuan court, and the deputy marshal was the Xuanwei envoy of the Duosi Ma Xuanwei Division.

Yuxi Timur is also an acquaintance of Li Luo. After Li Luo's successful expedition, he succeeded Li Luo as the political affairs of Pingzhang in Dongying Province. After the Japanese rebellion gradually subsided, he was transferred to the Pingzhang government of Gansu Province this year to assist the mediation of King Anxi and King Xidaozong.

The deputy marshal replied that he was a general of Tibet. This person is not only the consolation envoy of Duosima (Qinghai), but also the younger brother of Sang Ge, the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and is very powerful in Tibet.

The soldiers and horses led by the two were not only Tubo, but also Qiang, Dangxiang, and Tubo-oriented Han people.

The same source is very mixed, but the Tubo soldiers are the most. The Tibetan Han people are also as high as 10,000.

After hundreds of years, the Tibetan soldiers and horses reappeared in the land of Sichuan and Shu.

Under the constraints of Yuxi Timur and Tamadas, the Tubo army did not plunder Sichuan, but wanted to go to Huguang as soon as possible to kill Li Luo and Xiao Yin.

Li Luo's original colleague, the former Fujian Youcheng, was later elected by Li Luo as Henan Jiangbei Pingzhang, and then was later implicated by Li Luo and demoted to Sichuan Zuocheng's Saple, this time he also went on an eastward expedition with Yuxi Timur.

He really wanted to humiliate this original "Pingzhang official" after Li Luo's defeat.

However, as soon as Yuxi Timur arrived in Xuzhou (Yibin), he heard a very annoying news.

Damn Yang Hanming turned out to be the opposite!

The Banzhou army turned out to be the Tang Army, guarding Guizhou and the south bank of the White Emperor City, so that his army could not go out of Sichuan!

It turned out that although Lu Wenhuan left thousands of soldiers and horses in Guizhou when he left Sichuan, the soldiers under Yang Hanming were mainly Miao soldiers who were good at crossing mountains and mountains. Miao soldiers climbed over the mountains along the south bank of the Three Gorges, appeared in Guizhou unexpectedly, and attacked and occupied the city in one fell swoop.

Lu Wenhuan's hard work was suddenly in vain.

When Yuxi Timur learned the news, he angrily killed the Guizhou guards who fled back to Sichuan.

The road out of Sichuan to Chu, along the south bank of the Yangtze River to return to the state is the most convenient. But because of this, Guizhou is also a strong city on the riverbank, and there are a few Tang army sailors.

Although the Tibetan cavalry was not good at attacking fortified positions, Yuxi Timur still issued a military order to attack Guizhou.

Another battlefield is going to war. Yuxi Timur ordered to recruit young and brute soldiers in Sichuan, climb the mountains on the banks of the river, and go around to Guizhou to attack.

And Yang Hanming, who got the information, also sent his Tusi barbarians to intercept and kill in the mountains.

For a time, the mountains on the south bank of the eastern part of the Three Gorges were bloody again.

Yang Hanming suddenly changed his banner and returned to Tang and seized Guizhou, which not only blocked the passage of the Tubo army out of Sichuan, but also blocked the passage of Lu Wenhuan's army back to Sichuan.

For a while, the Tibetan army could not advance eastward.

…………

At this time, the king of Yunnan in Qiyang, also Timur, had been besieged for six days by a coalition force three times his size.

The Yuan army in the direction of Yuxian and Baoqing was unable to break through the blockade and rushed back to rescue.

The Tang army bombarded the Yuan camp every day, causing heavy casualties and demoralization of the Yuan camp.

"Your Majesty, it's time for a general attack." In the coalition camp, Wen Tianxiang suggested.

Xiao Yan also suggested: "General, the Timurid army is also disheartened, and it is time to attack." I'm afraid of long nights and dreams. It was also very difficult for Yuxian and Baoqing to block the Yuan army. ”

He was worried that the Yuan army of Xiang Mango would lose peace and quickly defeat the blocking soldiers and horses and rush back to the rescue.

Li Luo got the information from the Special Investigation Bureau, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm waiting for a day." Tonight, maybe there will be a change in the Yuan army. ”

The time is indeed ripe for a general offensive. But attacking the Yuan camp at this time will still pay a lot of casualties.

He's waiting.

Wait for the Yuan army to change.

Two days ago, the undercover agent in the Yuan camp shot colored feather arrows and told him some movements.

Wen Tianxiang also understood, "The king is talking about the Duan family and his son?" ”

Li Luo nodded, "Most of the Duan family's father and son will change. If they don't move, they will be buried with Timur first. ”

"Chen Shuzhen."

"The minister is here." Chen Shuzhen stood up.

Li Luo said: "Allocate 30,000 soldiers and horses who are good at mountain warfare to go to Lingquyuan to ambush." ”

Chen Shuzhen said: "The king thinks that the Duan family and his son may pass by there?" ”

Li Luo groaned and said, "Most of them will pass by there." Even if they pass by, they may not be able to capture Duan's father and son, but they must try to annihilate their soldiers and horses. The widow will give you five thousand musketers. ”

Li Luo said as he issued an order for the transfer of troops.

"No!" Chen Shuzhen received the order and immediately made arrangements for the bill.

Li Luo is right. At this time, in Yuanying, Duan's father and son were indeed secretly discussed.

Mi Ji left behind the camp and fled into the mountains.

This is their only chance.

"Father, the rebels will definitely open fire at night, and then the camp will be in chaos again, and our army will just take the opportunity to escape." Duan Zheng said.

Duan Qing squinted his eyes, "My Duan clan can't finish with the King of Yunnan." Have all of our Duan clan generals said hello? ”

Duan Zhengdao: "Father, don't worry, I've said hello." As soon as the time comes, immediately go out of the camp and enter the mountain! ”

Duan Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Then do it!" Li Luo will probably win this battle. At that time, even if my Dali is restored, the Great Khan will not object. ”

He suddenly showed a very distressed look, "We sent 100,000 troops, including 30,000 cavalry, but only 50,000 infantry remained, we really shouldn't come!" ”

Duan Zheng comforted: "Don't worry, adults. This is nothing. I still have two or three million people in Dali, and it is just a matter of drinking a glass of water to raise an army of 100,000 people. ”

Duan Qing patted his son's shoulder comfortingly, "Da Lang, do it well, do it well." ”

What Duan's father and son didn't know was that Yunnan Wang and others were also discussing their father and son.

"Great King, the last general suspects that the Duan father and son should have different intentions. They may perceive that we are going to cut off their 50,000 infantry. Li Ting said with a gloomy face.

The king of Yunnan is now bearded, reinforcements have been delayed, and the Tang army is shelling every day, so that his confidence has plummeted. He knew very well that the battle was going to be lost.

From the fact that the Duan father and son had different hearts, and the slaves had different hearts, they knew that it was already difficult to turn over in this battle.

Not long ago, he led an army of nearly 400,000 troops, what a might. But in just a few days, it became like this.

Recalling the glory of conquering Bagan, and then thinking of the current situation, the king of Yunnan had a particularly difficult time accepting defeat.

"Hmph, the fickle cowards of the Duan family and his son, this king knows that something will happen to them sooner or later." Although the king of Yunnan is a little decadent, his eyes are still sharp.

He knew very well what the Duan father and son wanted to do.

"If they want to go, let them go. Li Luo is so cunning, will he let them go? It's ridiculous. It is good that they are gone, just enough to attract some rebels, and it is more advantageous for our army to break through. ”

Also, Timur had no hope that reinforcements would come to converge.

In this battle, Li Luo set a trap from beginning to end. Since you have divided your troops, how can you give yourself a chance to merge your three soldiers?

And he guessed that Li Luo would soon launch a general attack.

Bo Luohuan has also aged a lot in just a few days, and he twisted his thin braids, "King, the Duan clan's 50,000 infantry, just let them go?" Why don't you kill Duan's father and son and the main generals, and directly control Duan's military power? ”

It's not impossible. If the Duan father and son were killed, the Duan family soldiers would not dare to make trouble. After all, Duan's father and son are dead, and Yuan Ting has accumulated power for many years, and they dare not be disobedient under the leaderless dragons.

The king of Yunnan smiled bitterly: "My Bo Luohuan, this king has been in Yunnan for many years, and he knows Duan Qing better than you. Since this old dog has the intention of betraying his master, he will become a suspicious fox, and he will not come to participate in the military council. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. ”

Bo Luohuan was unwilling, but still ordered a personal guard to go to Duan Qing's camp and summon them to participate in the military meeting.

Who knows, soon the guard came back with an ugly face and reported: "Wang, that Yan, the Duan family's father and son shirked their illness, and they didn't dare to come." ”

Sick?

Hahaha. The king of Yunnan couldn't help laughing, "What did this king say?" Once a dog becomes a fox and a jackal, don't expect them to be obedient. ”

Li Ting sneered, "The Han people have a saying, it is said that the sky is going to rain, and the mother wants to marry, so let him go." Since they want to betray, let them be. I really don't believe that they can return to Dali smoothly. ”

The King of Yunnan waved his hand, "Leave them alone." Choose a part of the obedient slaves, and when the Duan father and son escape, we will break through, and at the same time let the rebels know that the Duan father and son will also escape. ”

"The king is at ease." Bo Luo Huan said, "Twenty thousand heavy cavalry, all of them will be changed into light armor at that time, and loyal and daring minions will also be brought, and our horses will be enough to use." ”

Their plan was to break through to Yuxian, join the army of Xiang Mango, and then go to Baoqing, and join up with Sudieer.

After the convergence of the three parties, there will still be more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there is still hope of turning defeat into victory.

The key is to break through.

"Boom—" At this moment, the artillery of the Tang Army began to bombard the Yuan camp again. Although it could not defeat the big tent of the Chinese army that was first Timur, it once again brought some casualties and fear to the Yuan army.

The Yuan army suffered a great defeat, and the remnants of the army retreated in the camp for many days, besieged by coalition forces several times their size, and they were still frightened every day, and their morale was simply incorrigible.

Timur also heard the sound of the cannon and said angrily: "Here we go again!" It's like a flying fly that comes to bite cows and horses every day! Why not be burned to death by the flames of the wrath of the Immortal Heaven! Could it be that the Buddha was deaf! ”

The Great Lama Jie Duosi hurriedly said: "Please be cautious, Amitabha, the king's words are disrespectful to the Buddha..."

"Fart!" The king of Yunnan, who had been depressed for many days, couldn't help but erupt any longer, and he pointed to Guru Jie Duosi, "You're just a dog-like thing!" What qualifications do you have to teach this king? Do you think that the Great Khan and the king really believe you? Huh? Do you think that the world of Dayuan comes from reciting Buddha? ”

Jie Duosi looked at his disciple in disbelief, looking at the king of Yunnan who had always been extremely pious, his face turned red, "King, you ......"

The king of Yunnan looked at Jie Duosi with an unprecedented, disdainful gaze, and sneered: "Genghis Khan believes in Qiu Chuji, and the Great Khan believes in Ba Sipa, do you know why?" ”

He pointed to the bare brains, "for the brains of the herdsmen and slaves, to make them obedient." Got it? We are only from the Jin family, and we only believe in sharp knives, tough bows, and strong horses! Nothing else, it doesn't matter. Including you guys! You'd better remember who you are and know the difference between a slave and a master. ”

Jieduosi was so frightened that his neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, his wide monk's robe couldn't help but tremble, obviously very afraid.

The king of Yunnan said: "This king didn't say anything just now, master, did you hear what this king said?" ”

Jie Duosi closed his eyes and said: "What the king just said is a major military matter, and the old man can't understand it. ”

Speaking of this, he actually broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that he would be killed by his own disciples.

Looking at his acquaintance, the king of Yunnan finally did not have the opportunity to kill. After all, what he just said would be greatly criticized if it was spread out.

Knowing the truth and piercing the truth are two different things.

The king of Yunnan returned to his resting tent with a gloomy face, and there were several women in it.

"Let's all get out." The king of Yunnan said to a few poor women who were like slave girls.

Then, the man walked up to a woman wearing a gorgeous colorful Xia Luo dress, hanging gold and silver jewelry, and Yingluo, "This king is about to break through, and I can't take you away." Aye, you can be buried for your master in advance. ”

Timur spoke in a Mongolian dialect that the woman did not understand, drawing the dagger from his waist.

This woman has wheat-colored skin and a pair of dark eyes that are very charming, and she is a very beautiful woman. She is, of course, the princess of Bagan.

After the king of Yunnan conquered Burma, he killed her father and family, and then occupied her. But she couldn't resist, and in order to live, she could only rejoice for her enemies.

Although she could not understand Mongolian, she knew that she was going to be killed.

Frightened like a frightened fawn from an injury, Aya closed her eyes and waited to be killed.

Timur looked at the woman's long eyelashes and rolling tears, and suddenly sighed.

"Damn and poor woman, this king will give your life to the Immortal Heaven. May you live. In the end, the king of Yunnan did not kill the woman who had been with him for months.

He put away his dagger and strode out of the tent, ready to break out.

As soon as the sky got dark, there was an earth-shattering cry in the Yuan camp, and the camp suddenly fell to the ground in vain, and tens of thousands of war horses rushed out of the camp gate like a tide, rumbling down the hillside.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Duan's infantry also rushed out of the rear camp and fled from the mountains and forests.

Timur, who couldn't wait for reinforcements for a long time, finally broke through!

In addition to the 20,000 heavy cavalry that turned into light cavalry, there were also tens of thousands of slaves on horseback, rushing down with great momentum.

The Tang Army, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly launched a fierce offensive.

The 20,000 fire-gunned soldiers who stood in the way opened fire together. More than a thousand artillery pieces roared. The cavalry of the Yuan army rushed over with the wanton baptism of metal bullets.

And the rain of arrows of the cavalry of the Yuan army could not reach the coalition army.

A large number of Yuan cavalry fell, causing the speed of the horses behind to drop sharply, but under the huge inertia, the Yuan cavalry still swooped down unstoppably.

It is a pity that the cavalry of the Yuan army in front and around were slaves, and they consumed the ammunition of the musketers, while the real cavalry of the Yuan army hid in the middle and received the least blow.

As the distance closer, their arrows finally began to damage the Tang army's firearms.

"Whoosh—"

"Boom—"

"Bang bang—"

The breakout battle of the Yuan army was white-hot from the beginning. After paying nearly 10,000 casualties, the cavalry of the Yuan army finally rushed to the vicinity.

After firing the king's last round, the "bang" firecrackers turned around and ran back, while the allied spearmen of the brigade ran forward, discharging several miles in the direction, and the dense gun forest pointed directly at the rushing Yuan cavalry.

And the coalition forces on the left and right flanks also surrounded and surrounded the Yuan army on three sides.

The feathered arrows of the Yuan cavalry rained down, and large swaths of the coalition troops were killed and wounded.

"Block! Blocked! ”

"Kill the Tartars! Blocked! ”

Under the command of the general, the spearmen of the rear team stepped forward one after another, replenishing the gap and firmly blocking the impact of the Yuan army.

"Mordoga!"

"Woo Hehuning!"

The cavalry of the Yuan army drew their long knives one after another, and charged the spear formation of the coalition army by diving down. Although many people were stabbed to death by spears, a gap was opened in the spear formation, and the gap suddenly widened under the pressure of the cavalry of the brigade behind.

"Block!" The warriors of the Tang Army desperately blocked the gap that was torn open, and narrowly blocked the opening of the Yuan army.

After the huge impact inertia of the Yuan cavalry disappeared, it was finally blocked, and the coalition forces on both flanks also joined up, forming a huge encirclement several miles in a radius of several miles.

First of all, Timur and others desperately rushed left and right under the protection of heavy personal guards, but they were like a shrouded and trapped defense, and they could not break through the interception of the coalition infantry formation.

The encirclement of the coalition forces became smaller and smaller, and as it tightened, it rained down arrows on the Yuan army in the center. And the artillery of the Tang army, which was also thrown and fired, bombarded the Yuan army in the encirclement.

20,000 yuan troops and tens of thousands of slave auxiliaries were killed and wounded all the time.

And the coalition forces are also suffering from the crazy counterattacks of the Yuan army all the time.

The whole world echoed with earth-shattering shouts of killing, as well as the screams of soldiers and war horses dying in death.

The battlefield, how cruel!

Li Luo and Wen Tianxiang stood on the high car, watching the fight between the encirclement and the counter-encirclement, and couldn't help but smile together.

"Fenced." Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, "It is difficult to escape Timur's wings first." ”

Li Luo looked at the 20,000 cavalry waiting not far away, and said with confidence: "Even if you can break through just now, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of 20,000 cavalry." ”

The 20,000 cavalry did not participate in the battle, just to pursue.

Surrounded by more than 100,000 coalition infantry, tens of thousands of troops are getting smaller and smaller. Then, many slave cavalry dismounted and surrendered, and soon more than 10,000 surrendered.

And the real cavalry of the Yuan army, there are only a few thousand left, and they will not surrender like a trapped beast.

After another moment, except for those who surrendered, all the remaining recalcitrant Yuan cavalry were annihilated.

Timur and other generals were also captured. This marks the final perfect end of Qiyang's victory.

Next is Yuxian and Baoqing.

"Get on your knees!" Timur and others, who were tied up by the five flowers, were escorted to Li Luo's Chinese army tent together, and were forced to kneel in front of the general of the coalition army.
