In the first-line position, Shang Jiezan arranged a total of 90 "Cao" with a total of 4,500 people, under the command of 15 thousand household chiefs (after Songtsan Gampo, the successor Zampu reduced the number of troops of the thousand household chiefs in order to prevent the tyranny of the big clan chiefs, and in fact, one thousand household chiefs commanded 300 soldiers) under the command, and there were three enemy defense envoys to supervise the battle, each Cao had 20 "Gui" and 30 "Yong", and attacked the Gaogu front on the left, center and right wings.

And Shang Jiezan personally pressed the rest of the 1,500 reserves, of which 500 were armor guards in tiger and leopard skins, all of whom were fierce cavalry, ready to respond.

Gou Touyuan's drums sounded loudly, and the sound of killing shook the sky: on the front line of the Western Fan Army, the "Yong" people wore light cowhide armor, and some did not even wear armor, only wearing a sheep brown robe, walking like flying, sweeping out of the formation, and soon approached to the Baicao Army within 100 steps of the front line on the southern slope.

The "Gui" people behind them rode on the war horses, and the people and horses were all dressed in refined chain mail, coupled with heavy skull protection, and only a pair of eyes were exposed on the whole body.

"The armor who shoots the fan with a crossbow, don't shoot this group of light soldiers!" At this time, in front of the Tutuan bow and crossbow station, Zhang Xi clenched the order flag and reminded loudly.

Therefore, the Tutuan bow team and crossbow team mixed in the infantry team, overlapping and overlapping, all held their breath, pinched the crossbow machine in their hands, and raised it slightly in the direction they were facing.

Before the words landed, the stone rain of the "Yong" soldiers of Xibo smashed their heads and faces!

The light stone-throwing rope used by this kind of mediocre soldier is called "Wuduo".

Legend has it that during the reign of the first generation of Nichi Zampu in Western Tibet, a sacred cow went to Mount Meru, but met a big snake on the way to provoke and block, the sacred cow raised its foot and stepped on the waist of the snake, and the snake was furious, and suddenly bounced straight from the bent posture and attacked the sacred cow.

The Xifan people, who witnessed this scene, imitated the snake and invented "Wuduo".

Uduo is very simple to make, twist out a two-meter-long woolen rope, and then split a hole in the middle, stuffed into the leather pocket, and then put a metal buckle at the other end of the rope, buckle the buckle with the ring finger when using, and stuff the pigeon-egg-sized stone into the leather pocket, and then shake the buckle, the catapult quickly turns around, and after a few circles, throw it hard, and immediately shoot the stone bullet dozens of steps away, the power is very huge.

On weekdays, this group of mediocre people uses Uduo to punish those outlierable livestock, and sometimes they are bullied by noble lords, and they also use Uduo to practice livestock to vent their anger, so each quasi-head is very high.

The stone rain instantly poured down on the soldiers of the left, front and right armies of the White Grass Army, and in the burst of screams, many white grass soldiers were hit, and some of them were broken for some reason, and some people kept falling, and the formation fluctuated layer by layer.

The mediocre shouted and cursed, took out the pebbles from their pockets (there is almost everything), stuffed them into their leather pockets, and threw the black duo into a tiger, spinning around his arms like flowers, and soon crackling and throwing out a rain of bullets.

After that, the regular soldiers of Xifan, namely the Guimen, rode on horses and stayed very calmly in the area about fifty paces behind the Yongmen, they could see the many crossbowmen of the Tutu Regiment in the formation of the White Grass Army, and knew that the most effective way for the Tang soldiers to deal with their strong armor was to use crossbow arrows, so they did not rush to charge, but waited for the opportunity - the opportunity for the Tang soldiers to attack after the crossbow.

"Whoever wields a crossbow, slash!" Gao Gu, under the banner of Pixiu, also saw the intention of the Xifan soldiers, "Team next to the regimental card, come forward!" ”

With this order, the original jumping soldiers behind the formations of each army carried out the side cards of the infantry army.

The so-called side cards are large long shields, pointed at the top and flat at the bottom, and there is a root wood on the back, which is used to support the side cards on the ground.

"Bang la la", the side sign is propped up on the hillside, and then the jumpers raise the iron group (round shield) tied to their arms, forming an extremely strong shield wall.

At this time, the stones thrown by the Yong people of Xifan smashed on the card, making speckled pits, but they could no longer hurt the soldiers of the White Grass Army crouching behind them.

Then Gao Gu ordered the introduction of ten tiger artillery carts, this tiger artillery cart inserted in front of the eight sharp spears, easy to push the breakthrough formation, behind the carriage is a simple three-tip flying cannon, several people can pull the cannon rope stone, stone bullets can fly 150 steps away.

Ten tiger artillery carts in the sound of the order, ropes torn down, wooden shafts turned, throwing out stones, stones whistling and rolling, and then with a sharp whistle, accurately smashed into the ranks of the Yong soldiers in Xifan, how could the stones thrown by the Yong soldiers in Wuduoli compete with the flying stones of the tiger artillery cars? In the clouds of dust, many mediocre people were smashed to the ground, their heads were broken and their backs were broken, and they soon swarmed back and retreated.

Under the banner of the frog battle, Shang Jiezan saw that the front was bombarded by the Tang army's artillery vehicles, but the Tang army's crossbow array was still not fired, and he hesitated to throw the elite soldiers in the rear into the assault.

At the Sunqiu Valley, Shang Jiezan's front team had been bravely defeated by Zhang Jingze's army, but just when Zhang Jingze was about to take advantage of the victory and kill this group of soldiers, a total of 5,000 reinforcements from the two sides of Shengguan and Longshan Pass happened to arrive down the mountain, and the situation returned to the stage of wrestling and fighting.

At the critical moment, a rapidly advancing army and horse suddenly appeared in Gou Touyuan, flying with flags, like a strong wind, cutting off the area between Gou Touyuan and Sunqiu Valley.

This army of soldiers and horses is the cavalry and mule army of the White Grass Army, and it is also a strange soldier in Gao Yue's hands.

"I can't hesitate, I'll personally go up and break the cavalry of the Tang people!" Shang Jiezan was shocked, he knew that if he wanted to be trapped in Gou Touyuan, it would really be the end of total annihilation, and the top priority was to break through this suddenly appeared Tang cavalry and restore the connection between him and Sun Qiu Valley.

After Shang Jiezan finished speaking, he led the 1,500 cavalry he had prepared and went to the northwest of Gou Touyuan to kill.

"Fanzi's reserve cavalry has moved, and our army can press it with all its might." Gao Gu captured this fighter and chopped down the order flag in his hand with all his might.

The sound of trumpets and drums shook the heavens and the earth immediately!

Gao Yue, who was guarding the middle military camp of the Baicao Army on the south road of Goutouyuan, heard the signal of the general attack, and said to the supervising army Ximen Cang beside him, "Yue and General Cai led most of the troops forward to kill the enemy, and the supervising army can stay here." ”

Ximen Cang didn't say a word, and pulled out his sword, "What is this from Lian Envoy?" Although I am disabled, but I am by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, all the little envoys of the prison army, follow me to rush up and kill Fanzi! ”

Soon, the sharp voices of Ximen Cang and the other envoys of the prison army echoed in the south road - the lieutenants of the prison army, riding horses or mules, waving the swords in their hands, rushed more bravely and quickly than ordinary soldiers, so that Gao Yue had to let Cai Fengyuan follow behind Ximen Cang to protect the integrity of the prison army.

"Woo Woo Woo", the tail feathers of countless crossbow arrows drew a striking trajectory in the twilight, shooting into the front of the elite armor of the Western Tibetan warriors, some bending, and some piercing into it - the crossbowmen of the White Grass Army finally got the order to fire the crossbow, and took turns to move forward, constantly pulling the crossbow teeth, and fiercely suppressing the fire. And the foot soldiers and jumping soldiers of the White Grass Army also ran bravely, and each of them rushed into Shang Jiezan's middle formation with fierce tiger fighting dogs down the mountain.

In the whole Goutou Plain, the torches are like stars, illuminating the valley within a radius of more than ten miles, and there are people and horses from both sides of Tang and Tibet fighting everywhere.
