The goal of the Xifan army in the second half of the day of the war was to mobilize the former army Laru and Sun Boru, organize them into a "Chong" (the name of the strategic cluster temporarily formed by Xifan), plus the infantry of the small Dongdai and the forbidden army, completely crush the Tang army in front of Checheng, and do so or force the main force of the Tang army in the city to fight.

In Checheng, Gao Yue, who had completed the deployment, also learned from the scouts and the Marquis on the nest car that tens of thousands of Xifan troops had lined up the attack formation along the plains under Pengpo Mountain, and they were three miles away from Checheng.

At this time, Gao Yue deliberately arranged the Checheng three miles behind Pingrong City to show the effect: blocking the layout space of Xifan, coupled with the huge fault between Pingrong City and the west of the Lingmo River, so that the formation of Xifan was cut into three sections - that is, the former army Laru, Sun Boru and the infantry of the Xiaodongdai and the forbidden army Dongdai, the total number of combat soldiers was less than 30,000, and then there were 10,000 lightly armed Yong who guarded the ancient city of Pingrong, and then there was Cai Bang's camp, and nearly 100,000 Xifan soldiers lined up along the Lingmo River. After preparing for the front army to seize the area around Takatake Checheng, it will follow up.

However, the former army was already a very elite army in Xifan, and Cai Bang was very confident in it, and he let the great discussion of Qinghai Dao Dian Bo ride a horse and assume the command of the former army.

On the fear of Bo watched all the Dongdai foot knights of the former army eat barley noodles, and rarely took out the dried apricots and raisins that had been treasured for a long time from their bags, and then passed each other the low-degree barley wine, and after the diet was finished, the sound of the copper drum sounded first, and then the drums of each Dongdai also responded, and the drums of the whole snow-capped mountain soon shook the sky.

This was the general signal for the Western Tibetan to launch an offensive.

At the same time, Gao Yue, who climbed the highest artillery base in Checheng, stood next to the gun position of a large bronze cannon convex in front of him, looking at the snow field in front of him, no, there was no snow field anymore, it was all densely occupied by the infantry and cavalry of Tang and Fan, and the loose vanguard of the two armies was only a stone's throw away, but seeing the front army used by Xifan to attack him, Gao Yue still smiled:

30,000 people can't be configured in depth in an area less than three miles, so the fear wave can only stretch the formation into an extremely narrow shape, with the support and archers and lightly ragged Yongmen as the front line, and the two Ruben's cavalry are stretched on both sides, and the core is the Xiao Dongdai infantry and part of the forbidden army, this formation is seven or eight miles wide.

The snow had stopped, and the wind blowing from the narrow mountain pass on the other side of Pengpo Mountain still shrouded the thick clouds of lead-gray snow over the battlefield, and now it was about to be dispersed a little by the incessant drumming of the Xifan front army.

Around the Gaoyue fort, the wind was blowing the erected flags, and the gunners were sparsely separated by a distance, constantly carrying shells and divine thunder medicines, and some were cutting long twisted ropes, everything was so orderly, not frightened by the drums of the Xifan attack.

The piercing sound of brass trumpets rose to the sky, and at this time, the soldiers of the former army of Xifan, whether they were on foot, began to run, and the sharp and long lances were lined up in the woods, shaking rapidly, and the cavalry galloped forward and backward in succession, and they threw down their suits, and the speed was very light and swift, as if they were suddenly far away in the sky, and the result was instantly close in front of them, and everywhere there were dark and uncertain flashes of armor, scars, and weapons, and the sound of steps, trumpets, horses' hooves, and the friction between iron weapons, almost piercing people's eardrums.

"Shoot the cannon and let the city guys fight!" Gao Yue said very calmly.

The two gunners hurriedly helped him up and shielded him with their bodies, and then the muzzle of the large bronze cannon shook so rapidly that the chains that held it trembled and almost cracked.

The other two gun emplacements also emitted great pyrotechnic fireworks.

Front, back, back, and back, three red-hot cannonballs flew out, flying from the sky above Checheng, all the way over the Tang Army's formation, and smashed into the surging front army in Xifan, where dozens of paces apart splashed with blood mist, broken limbs, and dirty slush.

Sure enough, Datang's cannon is powerful, and everyone who deserves it is immediately powdered and mashed!

The barbarians all drew their wooden bows one by one, launched the poisonous arrows in their hands, or swarmed forward with rattan cards and long knives and giant axes; And the Qianghu in the Zhenyuan army, either on foot with bows, or on horseback with spears, also fought bravely.

The countless mediocre people in front of Xifan, at this time, turned back from the fear caused by the cannonballs falling from the sky, they all knelt half-kneel, spun the catapults in their hands, and soon threw rain-like stones, and the stones smashed on the shields or flesh and bones of the city army, making a dull sound of blunt weapons, and the forward formation of the city army fluctuated like a wave, and many people fell, either dead or wounded.

The big bronze cannons in Checheng were fired one after another, and the thick smoke of gunpowder rose and mixed into the snow clouds, regardless of each other: the seven small Dongdai in the center of Xifan - Jide Xiaodongdai and Baga Xiaodongdai in Xiangxiongru, Naxiu Xiaodongdai in Sun Boruli, Xiaodongdai in Lajuli, Xiangxiao Dongdai in Yeruli, Luoruo Xiaodongdai in Yoruli, Yere Xiaodongdai in Weiruli, a total of more than 2,000 heavily armored warriors, mixed with lightly armed servants, holding extremely long lances, wielding terrifying anchor axes and swords, Followed by two thousand Dongdai guards who were also lined up in a dense horizontal formation, the chain mail thieves on each body were bright and bright, and they pounced viciously, directly fighting with the barbarians and Xishan Qiang in the middle of the Tang Military City.

Countless battle flags staggered and swaying, will be barbaric and Xishan Qiang where is the opponent of the Xifan Xiaodongdai or the Praetorian Guard, they are stabbed, trampled, and then chopped into pieces, but under the encouragement of the cannon of Gao Jigong, they still fought desperately and bloodily, one team was killed and wounded, and the other team picked up - and the Xifan soldiers, although they had the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy in front of them, but the cannons fired by the Tang army from a long distance in Checheng posed an extremely serious threat to them - the congested rear team was hit from time to time, and many elite soldiers had not killed the enemy, Before he even saw the face of the enemy, he was hit by a cannon pellet or swept over by a wave of dirt and air, and the casualties were really worthless.

"Volt low, volt low engagement!" The warlord's argument was constantly riding a horse, shuttling between the various Dongdai and shouting.

He could see the scene of black cannon pellets rising from the smoke gushing out of the car city, with a sharp whistle, and then falling into his own formation.

When a team of Dongdai forbidden troops just knelt half-kneel, the cannon pellets of the Tang army flew past the long lances they raised, broke more than a dozen, and drilled into the ground behind them, the broken wooden poles and lance blades were churning in the air, and the soil fluttered up, all splashed onto the armor of the forbidden army behind, and immediately the original silver-white armor turned into gray and black, which was magnificent.

"Ji Gong, the central Hui Barbarian and Xishan Qiang can't resist it." On the towering fort of Checheng, Wang Youdao, Gao Gu and Zhang Jingze pointed to the soldiers in front of them who were retreating backwards, and said to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue saw that the barbarians and Xishan Qiang had begun to disintegrate one after another, and they could not stop the onslaught of the Xifan elites, and the barbarian and Qiang soldiers wrapped in turbans or wearing felt hats, dragging their weapons, began to shout and scream, surging here.

"Tell them to retreat to both sides of the city, and not to enter the city. In addition, the artillery did not need to stop, and continued to fire at the Xifan Formation. Gao Yue's expression was cold.
