The Tibetans are known for their bravery and bravery. Growing up on the plateau, they still have a little bit of ignorance, the clan is brave and strong and light on the old and weak, who is more brave and good at fighting, who has more status. When you go to the battlefield, if you are a soldier who will return from defeat, you will be hung with a fox tail on your face as a sign of shame. The soldiers who escaped from the battle were even more miserable, in addition to being sentenced to death, the whole family would be punished as slaves, and they would never be able to turn over!

Therefore, the Tibetan army has always been extremely brave and proud of its death!

At this time, the two armies met each other in a narrow way, and although they lost the opportunity, they did not have the slightest fear and retreat. Turn the horse's head and you're coming head-on!

Waiting for them was a rain of arrows!

In the midst of a miserable scream, the Tibetans first lost several horses. People and horses trample on them, and those who fall to the ground with arrows are all dead. Stepping on the severed limbs of their companions and horses, like red-eyed wolves, they continued to charge without fear of death, and at the same time, they drew their bows and fired back.

The Tibetan people made horses their home and had superb archery skills. The cavalry led by the forward Xue Rengui also suffered some losses.

The cavalry of the two sides hedged against each other, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to face each other.

Xue Rengui took the lead, like a galloping cheetah, and rushed into the Tubo cavalry group with lightning speed. The halberd in his hand fell and the cold light flashed, and the rider who collided head-on was suddenly shattered, and the sky was covered with blood and rain!

The Tibetan horsemen were taken aback - this person is so domineering!

But they didn't have the slightest fear, Xue Rengui rushed in, and suddenly surrounded in all directions, all of them were Tubo cavalry!

The scimitar is like a forest, and the roar is earth-shattering!

Xue Rengui has been practicing martial arts so far, and what he is looking forward to is such a bloody battlefield. At that moment, his pride burst out with murderous energy, and the divine soldier Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea, dancing all over his body within a zhang of his body, and suddenly his hands, feet and flesh and blood were flying!

Under one move, there will be no more living creatures within one zhang!

"Whew-"

The hearts of men are not timid, but the horses are frightened! The horses of the Tibetans neighed in horror, and many of the horses' legs trembled.

The more than ten hundred cavalry guards who followed closely followed, how could they not be masters of one block hundred? They fought hard to kill the main general Xue Rengui, and they were invincible!

The Tubo people were obviously unexpectedly surprised by Xue Rengui's bravery, and fought against him for a while with their instinctive reactions, Xue Rengui was already covered in blood and rain, and there were mountains of corpses around him!

"Kill! - "With a heavy roar, Xue Ren's noble horses galloped forward like lightning, and forcibly fought their way out of the Tubo people's life and used Fang Tian's halberd to kill a bloody road!

"Only go forward, not back!" This is Qin Mubai's military order!

The Lord will be powerful, and the three armies will die!

Under the leadership of Xue Rengui and Baicai, this group of pioneers is like an ice-breaking iron ship, invincible!

On the other side, Yuwen Hongtai heard the sound of shouting and killing, and his eyes had already turned red due to bloodshot. With a roar like a lion, he threw off the flag envoy behind him dozens of steps away, and single-handedly entered the encirclement!

Phoenix wings and golden bells, peerless murder weapons!

Chop it down, and half of the human body and a horse's head flew up from the opposite side, and thick blood splattered more than a foot high!

"Hahaha! - Beheaded, beheaded! ”

Yuwen Hongtai hissed and laughed like a mad demon, and regardless of the parts behind him, the fire horn rushed to the place with the most people. The Tibetans were enraged by this arrogant fellow, but all those who had the courage besieged him, and gradually the enemies around him gathered more and more and surrounded him.

Yuwen Hongtai was stunned, so he didn't care so much. Only this bell can kill a person, and he will be happy. On this side of the battlefield, he was the Tubo people and horses he had cut down, and the ground was red, like a Shura dojo. The subordinates behind him were only complaining bitterly, and after fighting hard to finally enter the encirclement, they joined forces with him.

"General Yuwen, how can you be alone in danger?" The adjutant general said eagerly, "Quickly follow the last general and others to fight their way out of the encirclement!" ”

"I'm afraid of a bird!" Yuwen Hongtai laughed and said, "It's fun when there are many people, you can cut off your head with just one hand!" - Kill! ”

As soon as the roar was over, he went into the crowd again.

The generals smiled bitterly, helpless, so they had to kill him together.

The Tubo people were shocked by the two fierce generals, and the corners of the formation suddenly became a little chaotic. On the other side, Qin Mubai faced relatively thin enemies.

This group of Tibetan cavalry numbered about four or five thousand people, but there were nearly 10,000 head of cattle, sheep and horses plundered, all of which were looted from nearby pastures. During the war, cattle, sheep and horses were left unattended, and they ran in all directions in panic.

In the vast flat land, the cattle and sheep were suddenly covered with smoke and dust, and the shouts of killing shook the sky!

Qin Mubai was already hot-blooded, and his whole body was hot and dry! Although he has been in the army for a long time, it is not that he has never seen the scene of killing, but it is the first time that he has charged into battle with a spear and a prancing horse.

Huoyun Horse deserves to be called a divine horse, and when it goes to the battlefield, it is more excited than anyone else. When galloping at full speed, the people and horses are like a whirlwind!

When the tiger-headed golden spear pierced into the chest of a Tubo man for the first time, Qin Mubai felt a little lost!

Get lost in the killing frenzy and the excitement of blood!

"Ahh

His throat let out a roar like a beast, and the strength that was already different from ordinary people burst out, and he fought hard, and the Tubo man who was pierced through the chest was lifted off the mount by volley, and then fell heavily into the Tubo cavalry!

"The major general is mighty!" The soldiers cheered loudly, and their morale exploded!

"Kill-" A roar sounded behind Qin Mubai, and all the soldiers struggled forward to kill the enemy with all their might!

The three fierce generals, leading three groups of the most elite Tang cavalry, were like three awls pierced into the Tubo cavalry group, striving forward, only killing the enemy in front of them, regardless of the enemy cavalry behind them.

The Tubo people first lost the opportunity, they couldn't give full play to the impact advantage of their cavalry, and they couldn't stop the three fierce generals, and these three cavalry were like wearing sugar gourds, almost piercing through the formation!

This is the cavalry tactics used by the brave fighting faction of the Tang cavalry. When Li Shimin broke Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with 5,000 iron cavalry at Tiger Prison Pass, he used this tactic - with the elite of the fierce general as the spearhead of the whole army, he went all out to penetrate the enemy's formation and first messed up the enemy's formation; If you encounter an enemy general, capture the thief and capture the king first!

In Li Jing's book of war, the detailed process of this battle was completely recorded, and this simple and practical cavalry method of warfare was described in great detail. Today, Qin Mubai used this set of tactics according to local conditions, and the results were extremely obvious!

Xue Rengui is obviously the spearhead of these three cavalry! He is like the tip of this spear is made of steel, and he plunged headlong into the hinterland of the Tibetan cavalry, and no one can stop him as if he had entered a no-man's land!

"Puff" halberd down, a human head flew up in front of him, and blood rushed up like an injection into the sky. The Tubo people next to him suddenly let out a scream, and roared in an incomprehensible language.

But Xue Rengui saw from their frightened eyes that he had killed the enemy's main general!

Sure enough, next to him was the flag envoy holding the flag!

Xue Rengui roared, slapped his horse forward, the white horse and silver robe like a snow carp entering the water stirred up a wild wave, the halberd fell, and the Tubo rider fell to the sky, the flag fell to the ground, and there was an arm attached to the flagpole!

"General Shenwei, kill the enemy general!"

The hundred cavalry soldiers who followed behind roared loudly, and their morale was high!

will be the backbone of the army, and without the main general, the battle formation of the Tubo people will be even more chaotic. The current battlefield is like three sharp cones piercing into the tofu, and there is no way to stop it.

At this time, the vanguard Xue Rengui's branch had already killed the Tubo army back and forth. He immediately reined in his horse and stood up for the halberd and pointed - "Rush back - kill!" ”

The army turned their horses' heads, and then turned back and rushed to kill.

The battle method of thousands of horses penetrating was used handy by Xue Rengui!

The three cavalry, all the same back and forth sprint piercing, the Tubo people lost the main general, the battle formation became more and more chaotic, under the strong charge of the three groups of cavalry, involuntarily scattered to both sides, the battlefield was expanded in a circle.

A few in and a few out, the Tubo cavalry group has become a plate of scattered sand, and the three Tang cavalry under the leadership of the main general are still twisted into a line, like a spear like a stab in the enemy group to sprint.

This kind of tactics is originally used to win more with less. Our army is in the middle of the enemy's army, and only cares about the front, right, and behind, so the enemy is always faced only in front of it. Even if the enemy has a numerical advantage, he will not be able to exploit it. However, the bravery of this charging general is extremely demanding - it must be invincible!

Obviously, Xue Rengui is such a general!

……

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and although Qin Mubai's side encountered not many enemy troops, and the battle was far less tragic than that on Xue Rengui's side, he was also a bloody enemy with no less than ten people. The Tibetan cavalry has been pierced into a big sieve, and more than 2,000 corpses are scattered in all directions, and the blood is flowing all over the ground!

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves rolling in front of him, Qin Mubai looked back, and there were nearly a thousand cavalry rushing from the northwest, and the color of the clothes and armor was obviously not the Tang Army, but the Tubo reinforcements!

"Order-Yuwen Hongtai meets the reinforcements, and the rest continue to kill!" Qin Mubai immediately made a decision, and the deputy general beside him blew the horn and played the flag.

At this moment, a group of Tibetan cavalry that had just rushed suddenly stopped, and blew a whining horn. The Tibetans on the battlefield heard the horn and began to retreat.

"Want to run?!" Qin Mubai snorted: "Order, kill with all your might!" ”

There was also a horn sound in the Tang army's formation, and the officers and men of the three armies let out a cry of victory and began to pursue the enemy with all their might!

When the remaining Tibetan cavalry heard the horn of retreat, they had no intention of fighting, and most of them pulled out their horses and withdrew. A few stubborn ones were all killed on the spot!

As the saying goes, the defeat of the army is like a mountain, one side is defeated and the other side takes advantage of the victory to chase and kill, and there is no suspense about the victory or defeat. The 1,000 Tibetan cavalry who came to the rescue and gave the order were very cunning. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, they immediately retreated first. Flee all the way, blow the horn all the way, and report to the own army in front.

Qin Mubai led the army to chase and kill for a while, decisively called a stop, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The three groups of cavalry no longer fell in love with the battle, and quickly joined together. Yuwen Hongtai came anxiously galloping over, and he didn't bother to wipe off the thick layer of blood stains on his face and shouted: "Young General, why are you so happy to kill?" ”

"Don't chase after the poor." Qin Mubai said, "The Tubo people have more than 10,000 horses, and there are at least five or six thousand horses in front. They were blowing their horns along the way, and they must have assembled a formation waiting for us by now. Our army has fought bravely so far, and it is already sleepy and lacking, and if we blindly rush in, won't we let them wait for work? Moreover, they must have formed a situation of encirclement, laying a trap just waiting for us to drill! ”

Yuwen Hongtai was stunned when he heard this, and blinked his eyes blankly: "There are so many more Dao? Our cavalry is so powerful, are you afraid that you can't kill it? ”

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly: "I'm too lazy to tell you this stunned person!" ”

Xue Rengui was invincible for a while, and at this time his face was still as calm as water. He swept Fang Tian's halberd off the blood flow on it, and said with a smile: "General Yuwen, what the young general said in the dark art of war is extremely true. You still don't have to ask, everything is just according to the order. ”

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense. Major General, what do you say now? Yuwen Hongtai muttered.

Qin Mubai twisted his brows lightly and pondered for a moment, and said, "Rest in place and wait and see what happens!" ”

"Yes!"

At the moment, the three cavalry joined forces in one place and rested their horses for a while.

A few miles ahead, thousands of Tibetan cavalry were arranged in the west, north, and south, forming a pocket encirclement. The remnants of more than 1,000 Tibetan cavalry returned to their own formation, retreated first and then fell into the protection of their own army.

Originally, they were waiting for the Tang army to take advantage of the victory to chase and kill, and then use the method of encirclement to gather and annihilate. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see a Tang army coming. All that was everywhere was the yellow sand blown by the bulging east wind and the smell of blood sent by the wind.

"Cunning Han Chinese!" The Tibetan generals scolded.

At this time, a drum suddenly sounded in Shancheng City. Probably heard that the reinforcements were coming, and they were ready to fight out and form a flank attack on Tibet.

The Tibetan generals couldn't help but be frightened, this encirclement could not be annihilated, in case the two forces of the Tang army rushed out at this time, it would be a big bad thing for their own army to be attacked.

"Withdraw—"

A bull's horn sounded, and the three Tibetan cavalry turned their horses and quickly retreated in the direction of Dafeichuan in the southwest. The herds of cattle, sheep and horses that were stolen were too slow, and most of them were lost on the battlefield.

At this time, the smoke and dust in the northeast suddenly rose, and a large number of Tang horsemen appeared on the horizon, shouting and killing to the sky, rolling over!

"Cunning Don Army! At this time, it is here again! The Tibetan generals scolded bitterly, but at this time, the withdrawal of their own army had been completed, and they had to turn their horses' heads to meet the attack, and their mobility and opportunity had been lost. They knew very well that this group of Tang cavalry was very powerful, so they did not dare to take risks, so they had to retreat to the end!

It turned out that it was Qin Mubai and others who heard the drums of Shancheng from afar, and immediately made a comeback and pursued them. The Tubo people were really afraid of being flanked and retreated, and the formation was chaotic and had no intention of fighting.

Qin Mubai, Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai led the army to pursue for more than 20 miles, and more than 1,000 elite cavalry soldiers were also killed in Shancheng City, and the Tubo people still left hundreds of corpses and fled back to Dafeichuan in a hurry.

"Stop—the whole army retreats!"

When he sees it, he will accept it, and he will never go deep alone, Qin Mubai immediately issued a military order.

The two Tang armies rode back to their horses, did not stop for a moment, and quickly retreated into Shancheng.

Qin Mubai entered the city, his body was drenched in blood like a bloody yaksha, and he could barely see the original color of the human robes. He turned over and dismounted and threw the tiger-headed golden spear at the pawn beside him, and at this moment, the soldiers at the head of the city let out a cry of surprise.

"With such a strong combat power, I thought it was General Qin Shubao who personally led the army to help, but I didn't expect it to be the major general!"

"Where are the generals of the Shancheng Army?" Qin Mubai shouted loudly.

Several adjutant generals of the Shancheng army, Xue Wanjun, hurriedly ran over: "The last general is waiting for the reprimand!" ”

"Order the two of you to each bring a thousand bows and crossbows and players out of the city, and set up more archway arrow stacks on the left and right of Shancheng with group cards and rejecting horses, and use each other as horns to prevent Tubo from going and re-attacking!" Qin Mubai didn't take a moment to breathe, and ordered two of the lieutenant generals and said loudly, "Remember! More bows and crossbows are built high wooden rows, and if an enemy attacks, only arrows are allowed and no attacks are allowed! ”

"Yes!" Since Xue Wanjun was injured, there was no general in the city to preside. At this time, the two lieutenants listened to the general's order and immediately set off.

At this time, Qin Mubai gave an order to the other two lieutenant generals, ordering them to prepare more rolling stones and trees to defend the city, but when the Tubo people returned, they fired ten thousand arrows to repel them; In addition, there are many guards in the city to enforce martial law and curfew, so as to prevent lawbreakers from taking advantage of the chaos to commit adultery. The two generals received the order and each retreated.

At this time, Qin Mubai took a breath of relief, called Xue Rengui over, and said, "Rengui, you work hard." Lead your headquarters to ride in the four gates, if the Tibetan cavalry attacks, you don't have to care. Wait for it to evacuate, and then wave out to cover and kill for a while, but not more than twenty miles deep, remember! ”

"The last general commands!" Xue Rengui received the general's order, pulled out the horse and left.

Yuwen Hongtai smiled on the side: "Young General, are you too timid?" The Tubo people were killed for a while, and they must be afraid to come! ”

"Then wait and see!" Qin Mubai smiled slightly, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with this stunned person.

After the military orders were issued in turn, Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, and called the soldiers in the city to ask, where is Xue Wanjun? The soldiers led Qin Mubai to Xue Wanjun's official rank.

Xue Wanjun's general's mansion was behind the county office, and when Qin Mubai came in, the officials and generals of the county town all breathed a sigh of relief and shouted happily - "Now there is a master in Shancheng"!

Xue Wanjun suffered more than ten wounds and lost too much blood, and he woke up after several days of first aid.

Qin Mubai pushed open his door and walked in, full of the smell of medicine. Xue Wanjun was ashamed and excited when he saw Qin Mubai coming in covered in blood, struggling to get out of bed, and turned his head embarrassed to face him.

"General, rest, don't get up." Qin Mubai stepped forward, helped him lie down, sat down on the edge of his bed, and asked, "How is the injury?" ”

Xue Wanjun smiled bitterly: "I can't die." If the major general wants to sanction the general according to the military order, please hurry! ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and generals don't have to worry about it." Fortunately, the city was not lost this time, and the people were not particularly badly affected. In Chaoyan, my father and I will do our best to take care of the general. ”

"Hey——!" Xue Wanjun sighed with both shame and gratitude, bowed his head and was speechless.

At this time, a pawn ran to the door and shouted: "Report - the Tubo people have gone and returned, and about 7,000 horsemen have been killed under the city!" ”

"How can this be true? Wait until I kill them all, and avenge my dead brothers! Xue Wanjun yelled and was about to jump out of bed, but unexpectedly, the sores were pulled, blood burst out, and he suddenly fell down with a scream.

"Don't be angry, General!" Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down, smiled slightly and said confidently, "The Tubo people took advantage of the victory of our army, thinking that our army would be slackened because of this, so they came back and killed, but it was in line with the 'way of trickery', and I thought that the main general of the other party was also a person who could conquer the dark art of war." However, this move was only expected by the general, so I had already made arrangements so that they would not be able to bargain for anything. General Xue, don't worry. ”

Xue Wanjun looked at Qin Mubai in surprise, was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, and finally said as if he was very unwilling and very sincere: "The young general is calm and composed, Xue Mou...... It's better to be ashamed! ”

"General Xue has an overreputation." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, summoned two pawns to remove the heavy blood-stained armor and battle robe on his body for him, and said with a relaxed smile: "It's just a small test of the knife!" ”

Xue Wanjun was choked for a long time and was silent, and finally sighed helplessly: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, the future is terrifying!" ”

Not long after, Yuwen Hongtai recklessly broke in, laughed and said, "Young General, win, win!" The Tibetan barbarians ran back angrily to take revenge, thinking that they could take advantage of our army's victory and slackness. Unexpectedly, he was fired indiscriminately by the three-way arrows and crossbows that the major general had already arranged, and threw down more than 1,000 corpses and fled. Xue Rengui took the opportunity to lead the Yifu elite cavalry out of the city to cover up for twenty miles, and cut off hundreds of their heads - what a pleasure, hahaha! ”

Xue Wanjun shook his head with a wry smile, clasped his fists and bowed: "Major General, Xue...... Convincing! ”
