Another day of terrible bloody battles, although the Tubo army killed and wounded many people, but Qinzhou Tang. The army also suffered heavy casualties, originally Qinzhou Tang. The total number of defenders is only 30,000 horses, and there are only 10,000 people still fighting at present.

The vanguard of the Tubo army is 100,000 troops, and the subsequent 200,000 troops will arrive soon, and the fate of the annihilation of Qinzhou City is basically doomed, but it is only a matter of time.

In the evening, the Tibetan army suddenly stopped attacking.

Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde both knew in their hearts that it was estimated that the Tubo army was brewing a new round of more ferocious attacks.

Their follow-up army of 200,000 will arrive tonight, and if they launch an all-out attack at that time, Qinzhou will definitely fall. "In the face of absolute strength, any strategy and resistance are in vain!"

But as Datang. The soldiers, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, were sent by Emperor Li Shimin to guard Qinzhou, the last barrier in the west of Chang'an, this time, with the determination to die. "The man should die in the border field, and bury his ears with a horse leather shroud!" As Datang. Soldiers, the horse leather shroud is the greatest glory of their two veteran generals who have fought horses all their lives.

It was slowly getting dark, and it seemed that the Tibetan army would not attack again for the time being. However, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde didn't dare to be careless, in case Gar. Qin Ling raided at night, and they let Tang. The army did a good job of night defense. At the same time, in order to allow everyone to recover their strength, arrange for the troops to take turns to rest, and ensure that half of them are on guard at all times.

Thick clouds covered the sky, it was dark, and the atmosphere in Qinzhou City was desolate. Difficult nights always seem so long, Don. The army spent a long night in fear.

At dawn the next day, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the black oppressive clouds gave people an extremely depressing feeling, "the mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it." All the Tang of Qinzhou City. The army knows that there must be a bloody battle that is even more tragic than yesterday.

Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, who had not closed their eyes all night, climbed to the top of the city, and looked at the camp of the Tubo army opposite with bloodshot eyes, and they suddenly found strangely that the camp of the Tubo army on the opposite side was still there, but there was no tent, not a single war horse, and no one in it!

"What the hell is going on??!!" This sudden and strange situation made Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, and all the Tang people in Qinzhou City. The officers and men couldn't help but be dumbfounded......

Why Gar. Will Qinling quietly withdraw its troops overnight?

Why???

Afterwards, they knew the answer: it was because a few days ago, when the entire Chang'an City and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin were worried, their beloved wife, Empress Changsun, came back from the south.

The princes and nobles who attacked and slandered the Empress Changsun because of the tax reform, when the Tang Dynasty was facing annihilation, finally thought of the "Heavenly Immortal Empress" who often turned the tide and turned the tide, and they also knew that "there are eggs under the nest", if the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, then their power and property will be wiped out, and even their lives will be difficult to protect. So they quietly united and wrote many secret letters to Empress Changsun, who had attacked and slandered her, telling her about the current crisis of Datang, and imploring her to return to Chang'an to save Datang.

After Xia Xue received the secret letters from these princes and nobles, she was shocked, she didn't expect Tubo to be so fierce that she was about to hit Chang'an City, the heart of the Tang Dynasty.

Although she suffered many grievances in Datang due to tax reform, and was even assassinated, Xia Xue, who knew righteousness and loved her husband, did not hesitate and immediately decided to return to Chang'an immediately.

She returned to the south this time to take refuge and recuperate, to prepare for the construction of some new projects of the Angel Company, and to conduct intensive training and replenishment of the Angel Army. As a special army of Datang, Li Shimin has always let Xia Xue personally command, because the formation, recruitment, rewards and punishments, management, training, and combat of this army are different from other military units of Datang, plus this army is also formed by Xia Xue, considering these special circumstances, Xia Xue also knows that this is her beloved husband Li Shimin's absolute trust in her, Xia Xue did not shirk, and resolutely shouldered the training and construction of the Angel Army. Since the Angel Army is the military dui of the Southern Angel Special Zone of the Tang Dynasty, the salary of the soldiers has always been supplied by the Southern Angel Special Zone, so the recruitment of new recruits, the replenishment of soldiers, and the intensive training and training need to be carried out in the Southern Angel Special Zone.

This time, Xia Xue returned to Chang'an, and just brought the 30,000 angel army at the end of the training, 20,000 angel main battle corps based on cold weapons, and 10,000 angel firearms corps mainly with firearms.

Seeing Xia Xue return to Chang'an, Li Shimin's heart that had been hanging finally let go, he had a heartfelt love and trust for Xia Xue, and believed that there was no problem that the immortal wife could not solve.

Standing in front of the huge military sand table, Xia Xue's beautiful and delicate face looked very dignified against the flickering lights.

Xia Xue listened to the bad battle report, looked at the bad situation of the enemy on the sand table, and deeply felt the seriousness of the crisis. With the advantage of geographical advantages, Tubo continued to invade the Tang Dynasty and occupied the entire Qinghai, and Tubo has become a confidant in the southwest, northwest and western borders of the Tang Dynasty, and has invaded the four towns of Anxi, which has endangered the security of the Western Regions and the Silk Road. Now that it has gone deep into the Tang realm, the soldiers are directly aimed at Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Dynasty, endangering the safety of the entire Tang Dynasty, and even shaking the foundation and national foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

However, at present, the Tibetan army is pressing the border and approaching Chang'an City, so the top priority is to force the Tubo to withdraw as soon as possible. Only find a way to scare off Gar. The 300,000 Tubo army led by Qin Ling can relieve the crisis of Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Dynasty, and only by scaring off the Tubo army can there be respite and have the opportunity to reorganize forces to counterattack.

After careful consideration, Xia Xue ordered Li Jing to lead 10,000 angel main battle corps to set off from Longnan, and Su Dingfang to lead 10,000 angel main battle corps to set off from Longdong and quietly go around to Gar. In the rear of Qinling, Ganzhou and Suzhou were captured, and Gar was cut off. The back road of the 300,000 Tibetan army led by Qin Ling.

He also asked Dugujun, Pan Jiang and others to lead the black-clothed guards to infiltrate the four towns of Anxi in the Western Regions to incite rebellion, create chaos, and assassinate Tubo officers, causing the four towns of Anxi in the Western Regions under the occupation of Tubo to be full of smoke, swords and soldiers, chickens and dogs on the wall, and panic all day long. Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan had to urgently edict Gar. Qinling retreated and went to the Western Regions to suppress the rebellion and riots in the four towns of Anxi.

Gar. When Qin Ling learned that Li Jing and Su Dingfang copied his back road, he wanted to retreat, he knew that Li Jing and Su Dingfang were powerful, and he was worried that they would be dumplings with Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, but there was no order to retreat from Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan, and he did not dare to withdraw without authorization. Gar. Qin Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, did not fall in love with the war, did not hesitate, immediately ordered the whole army to quietly withdraw from Qinzhou overnight, and gave up the Yuanzhou, Lingzhou and other places that he had conquered along the way, and quickly retreated from the Hexi Corridor to the four towns of Anxi in the Western Regions.

Gar. Qin Ling is also a famous general, and he sees the form very clearly, and he knows that although the current Tang . The army and the Tibetan war have been defeated one after another, suffering heavy losses, and the vitality has been greatly damaged, that is mainly because the Tubo has taken advantage of the geographical advantages of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, if it continues to go deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which is no longer affected by the harsh environment of the plateau. The army fights, and the Tubo army that adapts to the plateau climate may not be able to continue to play triumphantly. He knew very well that the strong foundation of the Tang Dynasty could not be shaken by his 300,000 Tubo army. Gar. Qin Ling felt that it was the greatest victory to consolidate and stabilize the four towns of Qinghai and Anxi in the Western Regions that he had snatched from the Tang Dynasty, and it was not appropriate to expand blindly.

This eastward march to Chang'an was a decision made by Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan, who was now carried away by successive victories and had some over-inflated self-confidence. Qin Ling has always been very calm-minded, after Qin Zhou fought with Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Qiong, he also saw the power of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. The combat effectiveness of the army has gained a new understanding. He knew that if he didn't withdraw his troops as soon as possible, then once the reinforcements from all over the Tang Dynasty rushed to Qinzhou, coupled with the outflanking of Li Jing and Su Dingfang, he would be able to outflank him. Qinling and 300,000 Tibetan soldiers may have to be confessed here. So, Gar. As soon as Qinling received the order to retreat from Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan, he immediately ordered a quick retreat overnight without hesitation.

Xia Xue's purpose is to scare Gar away. Qin Ling, let Tang. The army had time to respite from reforming the new cavalry corps and training the fighters of the Angel Special Operations Regiment in altitude adaptation in preparation for future counterattacks. Therefore, she ordered Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde and other Tang . Do not hinder Gar. The army led by Qin Ling withdrew westward to Tibet, and it was not yet time to beat the water dogs.

After the Chang'an crisis was resolved, without further ado, Xia Xue immediately organized people, according to the particularity of the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Xia Xue from the Mongolian Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and other places to adapt to the plateau climate and environment. The soldiers of the army formed a 20,000-strong elite cavalry for highland operations. After two months of intensive training, considering the severe altitude sickness and harsh climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Xia Xue did not arrange for Li Jing, who was already 60 years old, to lead the army, but decided to be led by the young and strong Xue Rengui, and he personally led 10,000 angel special forces to accompany him and set off to Qinghai.

Li Shimin wanted to drive the expedition again, but was decisively stopped by Xia Xue, Xia Xue knew that Li Shimin had a family history of hereditary hypertension, and the 44-year-old Li Shimin was no longer young, and various body functions had begun to decline, so he must not take the risk of tossing his body again, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not a joke, where the harsh climate, cold and lack of oxygen, severe altitude sickness, dangerous roads, strong ultraviolet rays, etc., are all things that will kill people, how can Xia Xue rest assured that her dearest husband will take risks!
