The sky in August is very blue, blue like the sea, but the sun is not strong, shining on people, there is a kind of drunken warmth, the wind blows, the cattle and sheep in the grass appear, the pastoral song bursts, although it is not very pleasant, but there is a kind of foreign atmosphere, Cheng Guangzong lazily lying on the grass mound, there is a glance at the beautiful scenery in front of him, but his mind is obviously not here - as a martial arts scholar today, Cheng Guangzong could have had the opportunity to stay in the dynasty to serve, and he could also be assigned to the fertile land of Guanzhong, However, he couldn't twist his father Cheng Hedong's wishes, so he could only come to Shanzhou in a huff and become a small cavalry to join the military, and this is obviously not the result Cheng Guangzong wants, even if more than four months have passed, Cheng Guangzong is still difficult to adapt to the current situation.

As a child of a military family, joining the army is what should be done, Cheng Guangzong understood this truth since he was young, but the army he wanted to follow was the Iron Cavalry Army, not the current combat effectiveness of the army that could only be regarded as an ordinary border state, for this reason, he did not try to privately trust people, but unfortunately not only failed to do so, but was taught a lesson by his father, and then he was sent to the pasture and did the work of "shepherd dog", which really made Cheng Guangzong unwilling to tighten up, but his father's fate was difficult to disobey, even if there was more unwillingness, Cheng Guangzong didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he could only lead two teams of cavalry to the ranch to escort the grazing Hexi horse farm people.

"My lord, look, the beacon is on!"

Just when Cheng Guangzong's imagination was fluttering, he heard a burst of horses' hooves, and a sentry rushed over, and the anxious roar instantly knocked Cheng Guangzong's imagination into pieces.

Cheng Guangzong jumped up, looked in the direction of the sentry finger, and saw a black and red smoke column in the northwest direction, and his heart couldn't help but sink - the beacon fire in Hexi ** is different from other places, the fireworks are not a single thick black, but can be adjusted according to the number of enemy troops, an all-black pillar of smoke represents 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the yellow, red, purple, green, and blue in the fireworks represent 2,000 troops in turn, as if the current black and red smoke column means that the number of enemy troops is between 2,000 and 4,000, It's not completely accurate, but it's mostly sufficient.

"Order: Assemble the whole army, prepare for battle, and let the herdsmen withdraw first!"

Cheng Guangzong didn't know whether the enemy was the regular army of Tubo or the nomadic tribal army of Tuyuhun, and he didn't know whether the enemy was two thousand or four thousand, but no matter which case it was, there was not much difference for the ** at this time, just because Cheng Guangzong only had two teams of cavalry, and there were only more than 300 people and horses.

"No!"

Cheng Guangzong had already given the order, the horse sentry did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly answered, since he was busy passing the order, and in a moment, the horn sounded, and the Tang Dynasty cavalry that was originally scattered around rushed towards the place where Cheng Guangzong was, and at the same time, the horse farm people in charge of grazing hurriedly drove the cattle, sheep and horses to the direction of Shanzhou City, but because there were too many livestock, the whole evacuation operation was really not fast. Until the billowing smoke and dust stirred up by the Tibetan army had risen on the horizon, the retreat of the ranchers and others was still in a panic.

"Damn, let them leave their livestock behind and get out of here!"

Seeing that the ranch people and others were retreating so slowly, Cheng Guangzong couldn't help but be a little anxious, and then saw that the Tubo army was approaching in a blink of an eye, and he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness, so he broke off his throat and ordered the ranch personnel to evacuate quickly.

"A group of waste, Mo Da, bring your people and kill the group of fugitive slaves, and the rest of the people will follow General Ben to kill Tang Kou, rush!"

Seeing that the people of the Tang Dynasty were in chaos, Gar Mosuoduo, the general of the Tubo Unified Army, couldn't help but laugh fiercely, pursed his lips with disdain, and gave the order for a general attack with great contempt, and did not put the Cheng Guangzong Department in his eyes, who was waiting for him-Gal Mosuoduo, the cousin of Gar Qinling, don't look at his face and beard, in fact, he is not very old, and he is only twenty-two years old this year, and he joined the army when he was seventeen years old, and has always fought against the barbarian tribes on the Western Front. In just a few years, it has made a lot of reputation, it is a new generation of famous generals in the country of Tubo, at the beginning of the year it was transferred to the southern line of Tuyuhun, as the deputy of Gar Zanpo, his people always regard themselves as heroes of the world, and have always been unconvinced of the strength of **, since they arrived in Tuyuhun, they often ask for war, but they have never gotten the permission of Gar Zanpo, and they have long been full of anger. Seeing that the Datang people were outnumbered, how could they let go of such a great opportunity to take the first credit, and the soldiers went in two ways, but they wanted to wipe out all the Datang people.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

The cavalry under Gar Mosodo is the elite division he brought from the Western Front, and his tactical literacy is obviously much stronger than the army stationed in Tuyuhun that has long been exhausted, but when he heard a poignant horn sound, the originally slightly scattered charge formation changed in an instant - the 1,000 men and horses led by the head of the thousand households Mo Da galloped towards the left side of the battlefield, clearly planning to bypass the interception of the Guangzong Division, and kill the fleeing ranch people from the rear, while the 2,000 soldiers and horses led by Gar Mosodo quickly formed two triangular assault formations, One left and one right went hand in hand, like two huge sharp cones, and slammed into the ** array.

"When two armies meet, the brave wins! Brethren, follow me and kill! ”

Seeing that the action of the Tubo army to divide the troops was so quick and decisive, Cheng Guangzong's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, just because he knew very well that with the existing strength at hand, he was powerless to stop the Tubo army from chasing and killing the ranch people, not only that, even if his subordinates wanted to escape smoothly, it was not easy to escape, at this critical juncture, Cheng Guangzong not only did not lose heart because of this, but aroused the courage to fight to the death, so he picked up the long horse lance on the victory hook, raised it high above his head, and roared wildly, With a kick in the belly of the horse, he was extremely brave and took the lead in launching a counter-charge.

"Datang mighty, Datang mighty, kill, kill, kill!"

The border army of the Tang Dynasty has always been brave, even if it is not the enemy's opponent, it will never lose the upper hand in the momentum, this time seeing that its own master has been brazenly launched, since everyone is brave to keep up, roaring all the way to rush up, without counting breaths, it has been adjusted in the march to a strict conical assault array, the neat steps sound like a giant beast is running wildly, although the number is small, the momentum is extremely high.

Rush, rush! There was only a distance of about two miles between the two sides, and the distance between them was rapidly shortened under the simultaneous rush of horses, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, and eighty steps, ......and in an instant, two rolling torrents collided fiercely together, and the horses danced wildly, and the swords were swung wildly, and the roars, howls, and the sound of the blades were intertwined, and a piece of death was played!

"Kill, kill, die......"

Cheng Guangzong is the general of the door of the tiger, although not very old, but after all, he is a dignified and upright martial arts warrior, a body of martial arts is quite good, this ruthless, there is no enemy under the gun, and the chaotic army in the horse like flying, where it passes, all invincible, roaring like thunder, more than a dozen Tubo warriors have become the soul of their guns, and they have broken through the interception of the Tubo army formation with the strength of one person, but the price paid is not small, his own body was wounded, blood-stained robes, and the department has been damaged by more than 50 horses, of course, The Tubo army did not take much advantage, and there were also more than 60 horsemen who fell in the core of the disorganized battlefield.

"Divide the formation, attack left and right, and don't let go of a person!"

Gar Mosodo has never fought with **, although he has heard a lot of ** bravery, but in his heart he doesn't care much, in his opinion, those are just the exaggerations of the cowards, firmly thinking that the elite of his department is the lion of a hundred battles, once attacked, he will be able to return with a triumphant song, but he never expected that under the first face-to-face hand, his own nearly seven times the absolute advantage can only be tied with the other party, the anger in his heart "poofed" up, just gathered the soldiers and horses, Without waiting for the soldiers to take a breath, they waved their swords and gave the order to charge again.

"Brothers, sacrifice yourself to become benevolent today, my Datang boy can only die standing up, never live on his knees, defend my Datang, kill thieves, kill thieves, kill thieves!"

Although Cheng Guangzong is still in the first battle formation, but the talent of martial arts is not under his father, the Tubo army has just moved, he has seen the other party's calculation of the joint attack, not only not surprised, but for the spirit of the spirit, there is already a countermeasure to resist the enemy, but did not say it clearly, but rode the horse in front of the military formation, waved the long horse lance in his hand, and roared wildly.

"Defend my Datang, kill, kill, kill!"

In the previous war, although the casualties on both sides were considerable, but the actual situation was extremely unfavorable for **, just because the ** force was too little, and could not withstand the loss of such attrition, all the Tang cavalry were veterans of a hundred battles, and they all knew the strange place, but no one retreated, and they all had the determination to fight to the death, and they all let go of their throats and let out the strongest roar in their lives, the sound was like thunder, and a tragic spirit was stirring over the battlefield......
