Qaidam Basin, located in the northwest of Qinghai, is a rich and barren land, said that it is rich, that is because this place is extremely rich in all kinds of minerals, coal, salt, iron, lead, oil, etc., said that it is barren, that is because of the extreme drought of the place, the land is all salinized, everywhere is the Gobi Desert, thousands of miles without people, in the early years it was better, there are many caravans from now on to the west through the Kunlun Pass, take the west line of the South Silk Road, but since the fight between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, this trade road has been cut off, Only occasionally a few small smuggling caravans haunt here, and it is rare to say that this place is barren, but at this moment, there is a large army marching the gravel beach, and this team is the 35,000 elite army led by Li Jinxing, the deputy governor of Anxi.

Li Jinxing's troops left the Kunlun Pass five days ago, and wiped out the two thousand defenders stationed in the Kunlun Pass in Tibet in only one battle, but the soldiers marched for five days, but they were still trekking the outer edge of the Qaidam Basin, compared to the scheduled trip, it was already a day and a half behind, and this kind of marching speed naturally could not make Li Jinxing satisfied, but he was anxious, but Li Jinxing was helpless, just because the baggage was too much, not to mention anything else, there were nearly 1,000 camels in the camel water bag alone, and then counting the grain and grass, Before the number of carts of arrows and other military supplies, the whole army looked bloated, and it was strange that the speed of the march could be so fast, and Li Jinxing, who had no choice but to do so, could only urge his soldiers to speed up the march from time to time, but unfortunately because of the difficult road, the effect was very small.

"Order the troops to speed up, and make sure to get to the two-color lake today!"

Seeing that the sun was already in the west, but today's scheduled itinerary had just passed halfway, Li Jinxing really couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave a death order with a straight face.

"General, the brothers have not closed their eyes for a day and a night, and if they continue to march so forcefully, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on."

Li Jinxing's order was really too harsh, and one of the generals standing behind him couldn't help it, so he flashed out from the side, and persuaded him earnestly, this general was Li Jinxing's deputy general Wang Bing.

"Hmm......"

Li Jinxing is strict in governing the army, if others suggest so, it must be a military stick to serve, but Wang Bing is an exception, not only because Wang Bing is his deputy, but also because Wang Bingnai is the representative of King Li Xian in the Anxi army, not looking at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, even if Li Jinxing is dissatisfied with Wang Bing's interruption, but it is not easy to show his face, but from the nostrils let out a soft sound.

"General, the eagle, the eagle from Hexi is coming!"

Wang Bing has been serving under Li Jinxing all these years, he knows Li Jinxing's temperament, seeing that he doesn't speak, how can he not know that his heart is already angry, and he can't help but be a little worried, and when he is thinking about how to explain, he listens to a few eagle chirps, a goshawk flew over from a distance, and hovered straight over the **, and a guard behind Li Jinxing who was responsible for raising the eagle screamed in surprise, which finally solved Wang Bing's embarrassment.

"Qu ......"

As soon as he heard that it was an eagle from Hexi, Li Jinxing couldn't care about getting angry, he looked up at the eagle hovering in the sky, waved his hand vigorously, and the guard behind him didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pinched his lips with his hand, and made a loud whistle, and immediately saw that the eagle made a cheerful chirp, and a dive fell directly on the arm stretched out by the guard, and the guard who had been prepared quickly threw out a piece of jerky, taking advantage of the eagle's food, the empty right hand cleverly copied, The small brass pipe hanging from the eagle's legs was untied and handed over to Li Jinxing.

"Huh?"

Li Jinxing skillfully twisted the hidden button on the small brass pipe, poured out the scrolled secret letter from the inside, spread it out cautiously, and when he saw it, his brows couldn't help but lock.

"General, you are ......"

Seeing Li Jinxing's solemn face, Wang Bing couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and hurriedly inquired.

"Your Highness has sent troops out of Shanzhou the day before yesterday, and ordered me to take Wuhai City within three days and cut off the return of the old thief in Qinling."

Li Jin let out a long breath, and said a little boredly.

"Three days? This ......"

As soon as he heard this order, Wang Bing couldn't help but be dumbfounded - if it was according to the predetermined battle plan, the Anxi army at this time was only a four-day trip away from Wuhai City, and it was only necessary to force the march to catch up, and it may not be possible to achieve this order, the problem is that the previous day's trip was delayed a lot of time due to the sandstorm, and now it is a full five and a half days away from Wuhai City, no matter how much you rush, it is impossible to capture Wuhai City in three days. After all, although it is convenient for the flying eagle to pass the book, it also takes a lot of time to transmit it, and after this coming, I am afraid that the fighter plane has long been delayed.

"It's three days! Now there is only one way, the old man himself led a lightly armed assault, and General Wang could lead the main force to follow-up. ”

In the face of this order, Li Jinxing obviously had a headache, but he didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience, and after muttering for a while, his face suddenly turned grim, and he ordered with a resolute expression.

"General, you must not leave here, it is better for the last general to go to take the city, please rest assured, the last general will go to Wuhai City within three days!"

It is easy to say that the light soldiers go straight forward, but it is not so simple to do, once the city is not attacked, it will be the disaster of the enemy, how dare Wang Bing let Li Jinxing take such a risk, this gritted his teeth, and said in a resolute tone.

"Well, okay, the old man will have 5,000 soldiers and horses, is it enough?"

Although Li Jinxing had the intention to take the city in person, he had a lot of scruples, after all, Xue Rengui's defeat in Dafeichuan was caused by the attack on the backup supply column caused by the rapid advance of light troops, and Li Jinxing didn't want to repeat this time on his own, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't refuse Wang Bing's request for battle.

"Five thousand is enough, please give the order of the general, and the last general will fight to take Wuhai City!"

At this point, the choice is very limited, although Wang Bing has worries in his heart, he will never bring it to his face, but he will promise it with pride.

"In this case, the old man will have 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, so can it be done?"

Although Wang Bing's answer was very resolute, Li Jinxing was still a little relieved, so he asked inquiringly.

"General, the last general must have 4,000 foot soldiers, 1,000 cavalry, everyone has two horses, and please ask the general for permission!"

After Wang Bing thought about it, he asked with great caution.

"Okay, it's decided, the generals will pick the horses themselves, and after they are picked, they can set off, and the old man will tell His Highness the truth." Li Jinxing did not hesitate at all, and simply agreed to Wang Bingzhi's request.

"General Xie is complete!"

The military situation was urgent, Wang Bingzi did not dare to delay, after thanking him, he hurriedly rode his horse into the army, after a period of busyness, the five thousand elite divisions have been selected, but after listening to Wang Bing's order, the brigade of men and horses rushed up wildly, and disappeared into the distance without counting breath......

The autumn day on the plateau is late, it is almost the hour, but the night still refuses to recede, there is a dead silence in all directions, Rao is several butter lamps in the big tent of the Chinese army are lit vigorously, but it can't dispel this dim and dark, but it makes the already dark faces of the generals in the tent even more gloomy, everyone is silent, the atmosphere in the big tent is depressed to make people feel a kind of breathless and dull, such a situation comes out, and the Gar Zanpo who is sitting in the position of the coach is upset for no reason.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the prime minister has an order: take down Eagle Ridge within three days! Which general dared to be the vanguard? ”

Gar Zanpo is very annoying, just because the past few days are too tired, at night to arrange several troops to sneak out of the camp quietly, and during the day to pretend to welcome the new army, lest the ** on the ridge see through the strange, have to pretend to be really busy, already exhausted, partial life also received a tough order from his brother, which makes him even more annoyed - with more than 35,000 troops at hand, the cavalry accounts for more than two-thirds, and the foot soldiers who can really fight the battle are only more than 9,000 people, as for the reinforcements? Just two words - no! How can it be so easy to take down the ** that is guarded according to the risk, three days? Not to mention three days, even ten days Gar Zanpo did not dare to pack the ticket, but the order is the order, Gar Zanpo was very upset, but he had to follow it, seeing that it was not a way to be silent like this, Gar Zanpo then faked a cough, looked around at the generals under the tent, and pretended to ask calmly.

Dead silence, dead silence of a faction! In the past, all the Tubo generals who heard the war were all dumb at this time, one by one, sitting upright, not squinting, and seemed to be highly concentrated, but after a while, no one was willing to stand up and volunteer, there is no doubt that everyone has been scared by **, and no one wants to be the first bird.

"What? Are you dumb, huh? ”

Gar Zanpo waited for a long time and couldn't wait for a volunteer, and the irritability in his heart immediately flooded, and the calmness on his face immediately disappeared, and he glared at the generals with a grim face, and snorted coldly from his nostrils.

It is better to be dumb than to be unjustly killed, and no one is willing to take the initiative to fight this kind of tough battle knowing that it will be a heavy casualty, even if Gar Zanpo's tone is cold, all the generals regard it as the wind in their ears, and they all hold the mind of the dead Taoist friend immortal poor Dao, and continue to pretend to be wooden people, so there is a strange silence in the big tent, only the gasps of Gar Zanpo are snorting......
