A sense of foreboding flashed in Li Tagu's heart, and the soldier's panicked expression had already told him that something must have happened to Li Tianlong, but he didn't know exactly what happened.

"Bastard, what's the panic, speak slowly?"

Li Tagu stabilized his mind and let out a loud drink.

"Chief, yesterday night, hundreds of soldiers and horses of the Tang Army raided the camp, General Li Tianlong was beheaded by the Tang Army, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of our army were completely dispersed, and more than 2,000 soldiers were killed."

Li Tagu's body trembled violently, he couldn't believe that this was true, Li Tianlong was brave and good at fighting, he was a fierce general under his command, and the five thousand soldiers and horses were all elite, how could he be completely defeated by hundreds of Tang troops, and he had killed so many.

"Impossible, how is this possible, the Yokono Army only has a few hundred people, how can it be possible to defeat my 5,000 army, what the hell is going on?"

"Chief, most of the officers and soldiers of our army drank wine last night, General Li Tianlong was even more drunk, and the Tang army attacked in the middle of the night, and our army was not prepared."

When Li Tagu heard this, he suddenly became furious: "Li Tianlong, you bastard, you drank and made a mistake, and the five thousand elites were destroyed in your hands." ”

As the number one fierce general under his command, Li Tianlong's death made Li Tagu very sad, and this person drank and misbehaved, and did not prepare for the battalion, resulting in the defeat of the 5,000 elites by the Tang army, which made him hate him very much and felt that Li Tianlong deserved to die.

But things have happened, no matter how angry he is, it is useless, and now, the only thing Li Tagu can do is to accept this cruel reality.

After calming down for a while, Li Tagu gave the order to gather his troops, and after the 5,000 soldiers and horses were assembled, he ran in the direction of Anbian City, he wanted to avenge Li Tianlong and the 5,000 elite army.

In the direction of Anbian City, Zhang Qiqiu, the envoy of the Hengye Army, and Guo Ziyi, the general under his command, were discussing the next defense matters.

The raid was a complete victory, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Tibetan army and greatly increased the mighty image of the Tang army, but the main force of the Tibetan army still existed, and it must not be reconciled to defeat, and the possibility of gathering troops and horses to attack Anbian City again is very great, and they must be prepared for defense.

"Report, general, the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Tibetan army have arrived ten miles outside the south gate, and they have now set up a large camp."

Scout Zhang Guangsheng will investigate the situation and report to Zhang Qiqiu as soon as possible.

Guo Ziyi and Zhang Qiqiu glanced at each other, and said confidently: "General rest assured, the slope outside the city is covered with snow, and the Fan army has 5,000 men and horses, and he doesn't want to break through Anbian City." ”

Zhang Qiqiu nodded lightly and agreed with Guo Ziyi's opinion, but there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Fan army entering Ulzhou, and if the Fan army continued to increase its troops, the pressure to defend Anbian City would become more and more great.

"General, Li Shaolang asks to see you."

Zhang Qiqiu was overjoyed: "Let him come in, by the way, when Li Shaolang comes in the future, there is no need to report it." ”

"Yes, General."

Li An stepped into the main hall of Zhang Qiqiu's mansion, saluted slightly, and then went straight to the topic: "The two generals are discussing strategies to defend against the enemy. ”

Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi glanced at each other, nodded and said, "That's right, General Guo and I are discussing how to defend against the retaliation of the main force of the Tibetan army, but it seems that Li Shaolang has a clever plan to defend against the enemy." ”

Li An smiled faintly and said softly: "The general has won the award, and the clever plan can't be talked about, but it is also a strategy, but I am afraid that the two generals will not agree." ”

"Oh, then what is Li Shaolang's plan, say it and let us hear it?"

Zhang Qiqiu was suddenly full of curiosity, and Guo Ziyi was also puzzled, not understanding what good ideas Ang Lee came up with.

"I want to lead the troops to take the initiative to attack and attack the soldiers and horses of the Tibetan army everywhere."

As soon as Ang Lee's words came out, Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi were stunned, they were both generals of the Tang Dynasty, but their thinking couldn't keep up with Ang Lee's thoughts at all.

Take the initiative to attack, with hundreds of Hengye troops and more than 1,000 people, how can it be the opponent of the Tibetan army, as for the last raid, it was completely unexpected to win, this time, the Tibetan army will definitely strengthen its vigilance, and if you want to raid the camp of the Tibetan army, the difficulty will be greatly increased.

Guo Ziyi grinned and looked at Li An: "It seems that Li Shaolang is still immersed in the victory of the five thousand Tibetan army, although the Tibetan army is mostly reckless, but it is not a fool, the last surprise victory was the lack of preparation of the Tibetan army, and I did not expect our army to suddenly kill, with the experience of the past, the Tibetan army will definitely be fully prepared, and if you want to take the initiative to attack and win, I am afraid that it is impossible." ”

Li An knew that Guo Ziyi would say this, and smiled indifferently: "What General Guo said is that if you raid the camp of the Tibetan army again, you will definitely not be able to achieve victory, but I didn't say that I would raid the camp of the Tibetan army, but I just didn't want to defend the lonely city, and I just wanted to go out to find fighters." ”

Zhang Qiqiu frowned and looked at Li An: "If Li Shaolang didn't have more than ninety percent chance of winning, he would not have agreed to attack, fighting is not child's play, Li Shaolang must not get carried away because he won a battle." ”

After speaking, they glanced at Guo Ziyi, and both of them thought that Li Ang was too young and immature, and he was more bold in considering things, but he lacked a solid foundation and needed to hone more.

Li An knew that if he didn't completely convince Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi, he would not be able to take the initiative with his troops, so he explained his plan and plan.

According to Li An's plan, he wanted to lead a small number of soldiers and horses out of the city to attack and harass the Tibetan army, taking advantage of the favorable conditions that after the heavy snowfall, the roads were suitable for skis and snowboards, and the soldiers and horses of the Tibetan army scattered everywhere were attacked.

This plan to harass the enemy is actually a guerrilla warfare in later generations, using a small number of short and concise troops to launch a surprise attack in a place where the enemy does not expect, and quickly withdraw before the enemy reacts, so as to preserve themselves well.

Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi were familiar with military books, and naturally understood that Li An's strategy was a plan to tire the enemy and disturb the enemy, but they felt that this kind of tickling method would not have much impact on the main force of the Tibetan army, and a little loss could not shake the determination of the Tibetan army to capture Anbian City.

However, Li An and his soldiers and horses have skis as a means of transportation, and it is difficult for the soldiers and horses of the Fan army to catch up with them when they attack and harass them quickly outside the city, let alone surround and annihilate them, so it is not a bad way to let Li An go out of the city to attack and harass the Tibetan army.

The corner of Zhang Qiqiu's mouth smiled slightly, and he looked at Li An: "How many soldiers and horses does Li Shaolang plan to lead out of the city to attack the Tibetan army." ”

Li An stretched out a finger and said with a straight face: "General, there are more than 40 brothers in my White Wolf Village, and the general only needs to give me more than 50 soldiers, and it is enough to gather 100 people." ”

Zhang Qiqiu and Guo Ziyi glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Since Li Shaolang is confident, then pick people at will!" However, you must be careful in everything you do, and you must not be reckless. ”

Li An was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the general's trust, Li An will be careful." With that, he turned around and strode away.

Looking at the back of Li An leaving, Guo Ziyi faced Zhang Qiqiu and said softly: "The general is afraid that the Tibetan army will be reinforced, and our army may not be able to hold the city, so he agreed to Li Shaolang leaving." ”

Zhang Qiqiu nodded lightly: "That's right, Li Shaolang has such a talent at a young age, and he is the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, how can Ben bear to let him defend the lonely city with us?" He is not a Datang soldier yet, so there is no need to do this. ”

Guo Ziyi nodded in approval.

After obtaining Zhang Qiqiu's consent, Li An immediately went to the direction of the South Gate, selected more than 50 of the best warriors from the 300 warriors who raided the camp of the Fan army with him yesterday, and mixed them with the brothers in the White Wolf Village to form an elite army of 100 people.

In order to increase the tactical flexibility of the team, Li An divided the elite troops of 100 people into five groups, each group of 20 people, Li An and Kunxiong, Fei Yu, and Li Fei Shouyu each led a team, and Zhang Erniu and Zhang Guangsheng led a team, each team was 20 people.

And because this attack on the Tibetan army was a long-distance attack, it was difficult to get supplies on the way, so all the warriors were fully prepared with weapons and dry food, and they were extremely well prepared.

Li An's principle was to kill and injure as many soldiers as possible without losing anyone, so as to cause the soldiers of the Tibetan army to change color when they heard the Tang army, and zero casualties itself was a great deterrent to the Tibetan army.

After a full meal, Li Anqin led 100 elite soldiers and horses to leave the city from the east gate of Anbian City, and rode skis to the northeast.

In the northeast and north of Anbian City, it is the upper reaches of the Sanggan River, where the water and grass are relatively abundant, and most of the people and horses of the Xi Nu are scattered here.

Among them, there were 20,000 men and horses who could fight, but if we add the old and weak women and children who could not fight, and the plundering Tang people, the total number of men and horses is estimated to be more than 50,000.

With Li Tagu at the front to deal with the Hengye army, these tribesmen all leisurely graze here, occasionally raid villages, and obtain some necessities, in short, life is quite good.

The premise of their good life is based on the suffering of the Tang people, and for this reason, they have also encountered fierce resistance from the Tang people, but the rebellion was quickly suppressed by the large number of soldiers and horses in the Tibetan army, and the resistance of the ordinary Tang people was nothing more than blood flowing all over the ground.

Li An and his entourage of 100 people, under the cover of the white cloak, traveled all the way for more than 20 miles, but they were never discovered by the scouts of the Tibetan army, and the march was extremely smooth.

"Li Shaolang, the smoke in front of you is Majia Village at the foot of Barbed Mountain."

Zhang Guangsheng pointed to the village in front of him, looking a little nervous.

Li An and the others could see that something must have happened in Majia Village ahead, otherwise, there would not have been so much smoke.

"Everyone immediately rushed to Majia Village, be fast."

Li An let out a loud shout, led his elite men and horses, and ran towards Majia Village, which was not far ahead.
