Wang Zhongsi issued an order to prepare for the attack, because most of the Hengye army was infantry and could not cooperate well with the main cavalry, so he let the 500 soldiers and horses of the Hengye army watch the battle in the rear as the backing of the main cavalry.

Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi led the order, and Ge Shuhan and the others even looked sideways at Wang Zhonghe, waiting for the order to attack.

Wang Zhongsi squinted at the Tibetan army in front of him, and ordered: "Li Guangbi, you lead a thousand armored cavalry to launch a frontal attack on the Tibetan army, Ge Shuhan and An Chongzhang, you each lead a thousand cavalry, prepare to detour behind the Tibetan army, and attack the Tibetan army from behind." ”

"The last general commands."

The three of them were ordered at the same time.

Li Guangbi rode his horse forward, led his 1,000 elite armored cavalry to the cavalry of the Tibetan army, and launched a frontal attack.

The so-called armored cavalry is the heavy cavalry, this cavalry not only soldiers wear armor, even the sitting horses are all equipped with Ma Kai, also called 'armor and cavalry equipment', such luxurious equipment, but also like the Tang Dynasty such a strong country can be equipped, the border country is absolutely no financial resources, to provide this kind of luxury equipment to the domestic army.

Seeing that the Tang cavalry launched an attack, and only dispatched 1,000 soldiers and horses, Li Tagu shouted, led all the cavalry under his command to kill, he wanted to use the absolute superiority of the force, the 1,000-person Tang cavalry completely defeated, in this way, the remaining 2,000 Tang cavalry will also be scattered, this is his personal experience, but also the law of the battlefield.

"Kill ......"

With an unstoppable momentum, the 1,000 armored cavalry of the Tang Army crashed into the cavalry of the Fan Army in front of them, and immediately started a fight.

The power of the heavy cavalry was far superior to that of the light cavalry, and after a violent collision, a large number of light cavalry of the Fan army fell from their horses, and the formation was loosened, while the armored cavalry of the Tang army was still in a neat formation, without the slightest sign of chaos.

Seeing the power of the Tang Army's armored cavalry with his own eyes, Li An was an eye-opener, no wonder the West in later generations was always keen on heavy cavalry, this kind of tank-like charge was too powerful.

Wang Zhongsi signaled to Ge Shuhan and An Chongzhang, and the two of them understood, and immediately led the cavalry under his command to make a detour to the rear of the Tibetan cavalry from the direction of the two wings, so as to form a front and rear attack on the Tibetan cavalry together with Li Guangbi's armored cavalry.

"Kill ......"

With the arrival of Ge Shuhan and An Chongzhang, the 5,000 cavalry of the Fan army were completely wrapped in dumplings, and the superior forces were surrounded by inferior forces, which could not be done without strong strength.

The elite cavalry of the Tang Army, all equipped with Mingguang armor, is not comparable to the cavalry of the Fan Army, in front of the elite of the Tang Army, the five thousand cavalry of the Fan Army is only equivalent to a thousand, or even less.

Li An looked at the surrounded cavalry of the Fan Army, smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Guo Ziyi beside him: "General, the cavalry of the Fan Army is not the opponent of my Tang cavalry at all, defeat is a foregone conclusion, if it breaks up, it will inevitably flee to the northeast, in this way, it must pass through the Zhuolu Valley in the north of Barbed Mountain, if our army is ambushed there in advance, it will definitely be able to block their retreat." ”

When Guo Ziyi heard this, he was slightly stunned, he was naturally very clear about the dangerous location of Zhuolu Valley, and once the Fan army broke and fled, it was very likely to pass there, if it was ambushed in advance, it could indeed block the Fan army from passing through, so as to wipe out the Fan army.

"Li Shaolang, why don't you ask for your life directly?"

Kwok expressed support for Ang Lee's idea.

Li An smiled lightly and glanced at Wang Zhonghe: "Uncle is busy commanding the annihilation of the enemy, so don't disturb him. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and led a hundred warriors including Kunxiong, Feiyu, Lifei Shouyu, Zhang Erniu, and Zhang Guangsheng to quickly run to the northeast.

Guo Ziyi was in a hurry when he saw this, and he dispatched without an order, which is a taboo in the army, but if you think about it carefully, Li An is not a soldier, and military regulations do not apply.

The three thousand cavalry under his command gradually grasped the initiative on the battlefield, Wang Zhongsi seemed very happy, he subconsciously looked back at Li An's location, but he was surprised to find that Li An actually took a hundred soldiers and horses, and quickly ran to the northeast.

'What is this kid going to do?' Wang Zhonghei was puzzled.

Seeing Wang Zhongsi's puzzled eyes, Guo Ziyi hurriedly rode forward and told Wang Zhongsi about Li An's intention to set up an ambush in Zhuolu Valley.

When Wang Zhongsi heard this, the corner of his mouth smiled indifferently: "This kid has a lot of ghost ideas, and the cavalry of the Tibetan army has just shown signs of defeat, so he has thought of the route of the Tibetan army's rout." ”

Obviously, Wang Zhongsi did not blame Li An for his rash actions, but admired his courage very much, and felt that Li An had the shadow of his youth.

After nearly an hour of hard fighting, the 5,000 cavalry of the Tibetan army was completely defeated by Wang Zhonghe's 3,000 elite cavalry, and fled to the northeast.

At the same time, on the west bank of the Lulu River, the 7,000 soldiers and horses guarded in the clouds also broke the 10,000 cavalry of the Tibetan army, and the scattered cavalry of the Tibetan army fled to the north and passed through the frozen Sanggan River, and due to the large number of cavalry swarming and fleeing, it directly led to the collapse of the river in many places, so that a large number of cavalry of the Tibetan army fell into the cold and biting river water.

Under the blows of the cavalry under the command of Wang Zhongji and the defenders in the clouds, the 15,000 soldiers and horses of the Tibetan army suffered heavy losses, and more than ninety percent of the soldiers and horses were annihilated and scattered, and only a small number of soldiers and horses followed their respective generals and evacuated in the direction of the Raole Du Governor's Mansion.

The soldiers and horses of the Tibetan army plundered in Ulzhou, and the people of many villages, livestock, grain and other materials were plundered, which made Wang Zhongji very angry, and immediately issued an order for his 3,000 cavalry to pursue the Tibetan army and take back all the people and property that had been plundered.

###

In the Zhuolu Valley in the north of Barbed Mountain, Li An has let his warriors ambush at the commanding heights on both sides of the canyon, and prepared enough arrows and stones, as long as the Fan army dares to break into the valley, ensure that they will die as many as they come.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and Li An was nibbling on Hu Biscuits while looking at the southwest direction, and behind him were Kunxiong, Feiyu, Shouyu, Erniu and Guangsheng.

The six of them were blocked in the middle of the entrance to the valley, and there were nearly 100 warriors lying in ambush on both sides of the mountainside, and they did not have to fear the soldiers and horses of the Tibetan army at all.

"Guangsheng, why hasn't the rout of the Fan army come yet, you go to find out the situation?"

Zhang Guangsheng nodded, and immediately skied forward, going to the distance to investigate the situation.

"Big brother, I'll take a look too."

Li Feiyu said hello, followed behind Zhang Guangsheng, and slid straight ahead.

Li An stuffed the last piece of Hu Biscuit into his mouth, looked at the surrounding terrain, and thought in his heart, "The Fan army fought with our army yesterday evening, and it broke up before dark. ’

Li Fei Shouyu walked to Li An's side and said softly: "It's okay, will the rout of the Fan army take another way and leave." ”

Li An hurriedly shook his head: "Impossible, Zhuolu Valley is the closest route for the Fan army to flee, they shouldn't be reluctant to go far and go around in circles from the north and south." ”

"Big brother, the rout of the Tibetan army is coming, there are fifty cavalry in front and three hundred cavalry in the back."

Li Feiyu rushed back from a high ground in front of him and reported what he saw, and Zhang Guangsheng also returned with him.

A smile appeared at the corner of Li An's mouth: "Tell the warriors to prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Zhang Erniu waved the small flag in his hand, so that the nearly 100 warriors distributed on both sides of the valley were ready to face the battle.

"Stepping on ......"

Fifty cavalry of the Fan army rushed quickly to the mouth of the Zhuolu Valley.

"Hiss ......"

Seeing that Li An's six people were standing at the mouth of the valley, the fifty cavalry of the Fan army were shocked, and immediately stopped their horses and looked nervously at both sides of the valley.

"Go and report to the chief, there's an ambush in the valley ahead."

Fifty cavalrymen stood still, waiting for Li Tagu's order.

At a distance of less than a mile in the rear, Li Tagu and his 300 cavalry marched slowly and listlessly, and the pursuit of Wang Zhonghe's cavalry made them feel very tired, and they wanted to fall to the ground and sleep immediately, but they could not do so, and Wang Zhonghe's cavalry was still chasing in the rear.

"Chief, there is an ambush in the valley ahead, and it will be difficult for us to pass through."

Li Tagu was suddenly startled, and hurriedly covered his chest with his hands, panting heavily.

"How is it possible, the Tang army actually set up an ambush in the valley in advance."

Li Tagu breathed a sigh of relief and said incredulously.

"Chief, the cavalry of the Tang Army is behind, and there is an ambush ahead, we have no way out."

Li Tagu's eyes were full of despair and anxiety, and he paused and asked, "How many Tang troops are ambushed in the valley ahead?" ”

"Chief, there are only six horsemen and horses in Taniguchi, but there is movement halfway up the mountain on both sides, and there should be a lot of people and horses in ambush."

"Chief, the valley ahead is a one-man pass, as long as the Tang army ambushes dozens of people, we can't pass through."

Obviously, the subordinates were a little desperate, and felt that it was impossible to pass through the valley ahead.

Li Tagu stabilized his mind and said: "The situation on both sides of the valley is unknown, maybe there is no Tang army ambush, we can't be discouraged, go over and have a look first." ”

After saying that, he rode his horse forward, and three hundred cavalry followed.

Li Tagu soon arrived near the mouth of the valley in Zhuolu Valley, he looked at Li An's six people not far in front of him, and then looked at the sides of the valley, and couldn't help frowning.

Halfway up the hillside on both sides of the valley were covered with pine trees, which made it impossible for him to judge the number of the Don army.

Li Tagu looked at one of his generals and ordered: "You immediately lead thirty cavalry to attack and kill the six people in front." ”

"Yes, Chief."

The general accepted the order and led thirty cavalrymen to kill Li An's six men.

Seeing the cavalry of the Fan Army riding his horse to kill, Li An smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and quietly looked ahead.

"Whoosh ......"

In a rapid rain of arrows, the cavalry of the Tibetan army who rushed up was suddenly shot on their backs, half of them were killed on the spot, and the remaining half dismounted and fled back in a hurry.

"There are ambushes on both sides, there are really ambushes."

Li Tagu looked at the dozen or so subordinates who were killed by arrows from both sides in horror, and his heart was desperate.

"Driving ......"

Not far from the rear, a hundred-strong cavalry of the Tibetan army rode up.
