Chapter 497: Spring Offensive

There is no tragedy in the world than brothers being insulted by external alliances.

Sulu Khan was "lucky" to accidentally fall for such a thing.

In fact, it is not unexpected, in his consciousness, there were more or less similar worries, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly and so quickly.

As soon as the God of Winter left, a large number of Ning Yuan Iron Riders appeared near Baishui City. When Sulu Khan heard the news of the evacuation of Talas and joined up with the arriving Mohedagan, on the night of the meeting, without warning, Mohedagan's bloody wolf and blood bear rode into Sulu Khan's camp. Sulu Khan fled in panic, and when he reached the back camp, he was surprised to see Dumozhi and Bone Si, at this time, Sulu Khan realized that he had betrayed his relatives, but unfortunately he woke up too late, and Bone Si gave an order, and hundreds of arrows shot him into a hedgehog.

Then, Dumozhi and Mohedagan competed to surrender to the Broken Leaf Tang Army. Descending to the Tang Dynasty but not to Ning Yuan, in addition to psychological factors, is more because the Hu people think that the Celestial Empire is always easier to fool than Li Huaitang.

Hearing the news, Li Huaitang smiled bitterly, the threat of Tuqi Shihu to him was temporarily eliminated, but there must be advantages and disadvantages, in the same way, at least for more than ten years, the Tang Dynasty Anxi has no frontier worries, and from now on the imperial court's attitude towards Ning Yuan will change, after all, on the side of the couch, no one wants to have a strong neighbor there, whether it is friend or foe.

Li Huaitang can't afford to think a lot, strength is king. Gathering a heavy force in the direction of Whitewater City was nothing more than a bluff, and if his ploy worked, he would immediately go to the army as planned, and lead the main force straight to Little Bolu, where he desperately needed slaves and sugar.

At the same time, the Anxi Army will fulfill the promise of the alliance and send troops to support it.

The origin of Anxi's reinforcements was Yao's own rate, which was his last glory before leaving office, and the imperial court came with an order to allow his request to send troops, but he was about to step down in the middle of the year.

The mountain road in the Green Ridge is not generally difficult to walk, Li Huaitang finally realized that it took a month to reach Lianyunbao, compared to Bai Xiaode's speed years ago, he was fast enough, there was enough food in Lianyunbao, he only needed to carry food on the road, and there was no need to trim it halfway, so half of the time was saved.

There were 5,000 tiger cavalry soldiers stationed in the direction of Lianyunbao, plus 10,000 people brought by Li Huaitang and 5,000 people from the Anxi army, a total of 20,000.

The enemy situation has changed compared to the last time, and the scouts who came down the mountain in advance brought back bad news to Li Huaitang. A military camp appeared at the southern foot of the Tanju Territory, and it was estimated that there were 5,000 Tibetan soldiers in it.

The Tubo people were not ambiguous, lost Lianyunbao, and immediately made amends. With 5,000 people stationed under the snow line at the southern foot of the Tanju Territory, even if the enemy army is 100,000, it cannot be broken, and the continuous twenty miles of knee-covered snow-covered mountain roads are their natural allies, and the enemy army is probably exhausted when they break through the defense line of the "allies" and come to them, and they can only be killed.

The intentions of the Tibetan people are obvious, and they are worried. On the contrary, Li Huaitang does not take things seriously, and seems to be confident.

After crossing the most difficult section of the mountain road, the soldiers of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry took out two rockers from their backs, and there were shoe covers in the middle of the rockers that could be worn into them.

Wearing a rocker increases the contact area with the snow, so you don't get stuck in knee-deep snow, and you can also slide, which is quite labor-saving.

Thousands of Anxi soldiers watched in amazement as the magical Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry quickly distanced themselves from them.

Li Huaitang's farewell words made Lai Yaokou stunned: "We are pioneers, and we are waiting for the envoy under the mountain!" ”

Looking up from the foothills, against the backdrop of snow, everything is clear at a glance, and the Tubo people are not worried about being attacked. The enemy's figure has long appeared in their sight, and they are not in a hurry, experience has taught them that they will win with ease.

However, a miracle happened. In the eyes of the Tibetan people, the black dots all over the mountains moved briskly down the mountain, subverting their common sense of stumbling down the snowy mountain.

The Tibetans were stunned and then panicked, their natural allies were not working, so that they had to face an enemy that was twice as strong as their own.

If it had been replaced by a little Bolu person, he would have run away a long time ago, and at the critical moment, the strict and cruel discipline of the Tubo army came into play, and under the reprimand of the officers, thousands of Tubo soldiers lined up to prepare for battle.

The generals of the Tibetan army were not mediocre people, and calmly sent flying horses back to the city of Sinduo to ask for help, and at the same time commanded his subordinates to actively meet the enemy. Despite the enemy's rapid arrival, he spotted the fighter and attempted to launch a counter-charge before the enemy's vanguard approached, taking them by surprise while the enemy was still in a stable position.

Wei Anguo was in the position of the arrow, he was not reckless, and he carefully chose to stop a thousand steps away from the Tubo army's formation, and gathered the scattered soldiers while being on guard. Under the protection of cotton armor, Wei Anguo led the soldiers of the Tiger Horse to stubbornly block the arrow rain and counter-charge of the Tubo people, and stood firm.

Time was in Ningyuan's favor, and as more and more soldiers arrived on the battlefield, the crossbow array began to show its power.

The condescending position made the lethality of the strong crossbow even more terrifying, and the Tubo people who put up a position suffered heavy casualties, and the massacre on the side broke down the psychological defense line of the Tubo people, and the critical point of collapse was about to break out.

On the battlefield, the Tibetans left behind thousands of corpses, and the rest of the ghosts cried wolves and fled back to the barracks.

The barracks were surrounded by wooden fences and stones, blocking the way down the mountain, and the Tibetans could not retreat, trying to wait for help.

The attack of the Tiger Cavalry soldiers was prepared in an orderly manner, first with crossbow arrows and then with longbows, and the Tubo people in the military camp were suppressed so that they could not raise their heads. The main attack was Li Siye and his Modao team, and after five rounds of arrow rain, he took the lead in rushing to the enemy camp. The destructive power of the Mo knife was extremely great, and the wooden fence was smashed by the Mo knife hands, and hundreds of Mo knife hands killed them along the gap.

The enemy camp is wide, suitable for the Mo knife hand to play with wide opening and closing.

The roar sounded, the cold light flashed, and the two Tubo soldiers who attacked Li Siye together were broken into four pieces.

Li Siye is brave, and his subordinates of the same size are equally terrifying, and the Mo knife is full of flesh and blood, and the Tubo people can't resist it, and the formation is disrupted.

Tubo's eyes were vicious, and he pointed at the most dazzling Li Siye and shouted to his subordinates: "Shoot him, shoot him quickly!" ”

The bowstring sounded, the arrows rained down, Li Siye was fine, but the Tubo people fell in pieces. The Tiger Rider is well-trained, and has a high level of recuperation in coordinated combat, and when the Mosaber attackes, the longbowmen advance under the cover of the spear and shield array, and always keep a certain distance from the robe fighting on the front line, providing cover and support to the robe at any time.

The barracks are raging, the general trend of the Tubo people has gone, and its lord will look up to the sky and roar, he can't escape, it is a capital crime to lose the barracks, and going back alive will affect his family.

After the strange scream ended, the Tibetan lord bravely jumped down from a rock, raised his sword and slashed at Li Siye, who was approaching.

There was no suspense in the duel, Li Siye swung his knife to break through the air, and the body of the enemy general was divided in the air.

The Tibetan crowd was leaderless, and the rout was like a landslide, and the Yellow River overflowed, and it was out of control......
