Seven miles west of Shibao City, Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi rode their horses, and behind them were 50,000 Tang cavalry, covering the Gobi Desert behind them.

** The camp was a trick designed by Li Guangbi to lure the enemy, and they sent 10,000 infantry of the Shuofang army to the former military camp as bait, and deliberately made a gesture of withdrawing the army, in order to lure the Tubo army out of the city to attack. However, their 50,000 cavalry had quietly withdrawn from the rear in more than a dozen batches after sunset, and went around to the Gobi Desert east of Shibao City.

In fact, the ** camped under the city for more than ten days has not attracted the attention of the Tubo soldiers at the head of the city, and it seems to have become a habit to see the opponent's city and camp every day. So much so that the Tubo defenders who originally had to stare at the ** camp all night every night have almost bothered to take a look at the ** camp recently. Because there is no need to keep an eye on them carefully, they are just stationed a few miles away from the city, staring at the city every day, and there is no movement for more than ten days, so there is no need to stare at them.

Therefore, the silent actions of the ** cavalry did not attract the attention of the Tibetan defenders at the head of the city. It wasn't until the 50,000 cavalry all walked around along a small earthen bag raised in the rear to the point of sight, and the 10,000 infantry in the front battalion began to pull out the camp in a big way, that the Tubo soldiers at the head of the city reported this abnormal movement, and at that time ** was already on the way around the west of the city.

The shouting and killing sound outside the city in front of the sky shook the sky, and the rumbling horses' hooves rolled over the Gobi Desert like thunder, and the war horses of the ** cavalry kept kicking and snooping, restless and restless. They can smell the smell of battle. Soon after, the direction of the main camp was full of fire, and it was obvious that the Tibetan cavalry had already attacked the front camp.

Li Guangbi and Ge Shuhan glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw a trace of unbearable. The 10,000 Shuofang infantry must have confessed, until this moment they didn't know that the camp was fake, and they thought that they really wanted to pull out the camp and withdraw the army, but they didn't realize that they were just bait. The reality is cruel, if you don't give up the lives of these 10,000 infantrymen, the cavalry will not have a better time to attack, and sometimes it is necessary to make trade-offs for the sake of the overall situation.

"Report to the two marshals that tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry have broken through the front camp and are attacking in the direction of the middle and rear camps." A sentry came on horseback, and hurriedly reported.

Geshuhan said in a deep voice: "Report the position of the enemy's infantry. ”

"The enemy infantry is under the city and has not yet completely left the city." The sentinel said busily.

Ge Shuhan glanced at Li Guangbi with a smile and praised: "Guangbi is clever, the Tubo people are really still like that, just like last year's attack on my ** battalion, the cavalry can't wait, but the infantry is far behind." ”

Li Guangbi smiled and said, "Isn't this exactly what you and I want." It's time for us to strike, it's time to strike. ”

Ge Shuhan laughed and said: "Yes, the time has come, success or failure is here." I will kill the enemy, you will attack the city, and we will do it separately. ”

Li Guangbi nodded and said, "Okay, as you wish, I will grab the West City Gate, and you will block their retreat." ”

Under an order, ** 50,000 cavalry began to approach Shibao City, the horses first trotted in broken steps, and when they arrived three miles away from the city, they suddenly flew to Shibao City like a raging river.

Under the stone castle city, the Tubo infantry had just reorganized their formation and was ready to cover the ** camp, and Rensang was shouting loudly to order several drunken generals to move forward quickly. After the cavalry rushed into the ** camp, Rensang needed to immediately press the infantry up, so that he could crush the opponent with superior forces.

However, in the midst of the chaos, Rensang heard the frightened shouts of soldiers at the head of the city behind him, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting in the noise.

"Damn, haven't you had enough to eat? What's howling? Rensang raised his head and scolded at the dozen or so soldiers on the city wall who were jumping up and down and shouting at the west.

"General, they're shouting 'Cavalry! Cavalry! ’。 One of the generals shouted.

"What cavalry?" Ren Sangleng Road.

Then he didn't need an answer, for he and all the soldiers around him felt the earth tremble and the thunderous roar of horses' hooves. Rensang rode his horse, and he looked far away, and he saw a long black line on the Gobi in the west, like a huge wave rushing in. In the moonlight, he saw the flash of the blade and heard the cry of the horse's hooves.

If it is really a cavalry, but it is not the cavalry of Tubo, his own cavalry is going away under the leadership of Wangmu and is wreaking havoc in the ** camp, so whose cavalry are these cavalry? The answer is self-explanatory.

Everything happened in a lightning flash, and the moment you saw the cavalry, it was already too late. For ordinary infantry, this is their sorrow, and their natural enemy is the cavalry. Before Rensang could prepare to meet the enemy, the advance team of the Tang cavalry had already plunged into the infantry formation of Tubo under the personal leadership of Ge Shuhan. Immediately afterward, tens of thousands of cavalry joined the battlefield like tigers pounced on the flock.

Everywhere was the creepy sound of broken bones and tendons, the sound of swords slashing into flesh. The screams of dying resounded through the night sky, and the dust that followed the cavalry charge. The moonlight was dark, and in the chaotic dust, countless soldiers and horses crowded together to slash and kill each other, and at every moment, hundreds of people fell to the ground or died on the spot, or survived.

Ge Shuhan was extremely brave, wielding his Daguan knife and slashing all the way into the Tibetan infantry, and the cavalry beside him pointed to a large group of soldiers and horses on horseback in front and shouted: "Great commander, the general of Tubo." ”

Ge Shuhan laughed and shouted, "Rush up and cut off his head." ”

Rensang and the more than 1,000 guards around him were all on horseback, which stood out among the infantry, and he was targeted by Geshuhan. Ge Shuhan led thousands of cavalry to cut a bloody path and went straight to Rensang.

Li Guangbi had a clear goal, and when the cavalry of the brigade was defeating and retreating from the Tubo infantry, he led 5,000 cavalry to the north gate of Shibao City. With little effort, the 5,000 cavalry rushed to the city gates, where a large number of Tibetan infantry were congested at the city gates and had not yet left the city. Li Guangbi's cavalry rushed to the open gate.

The spears stabbed out in rows, and the Tibetan soldiers fell in rows, and then the swords flew and flashed with cold light, slashing all the way, getting closer and closer to the city gate.

A watchful defender at the head of the city understood Li Guangbi's intentions and shouted: "They want to enter the city, quickly pull up the drawbridge and close the city gate." ”

When the rest of the soldiers at the head of the city heard this, they immediately went to put the drawbridge and close the city gate, but another defender saw Rensang, who was driven by a ** cavalry on the east side of the city gate. Rensang was pursued by the cavalry led by Ge Shuhan, and he panicked and came towards the city gate. As he ran, he waved frantically at the city.

"It can't be closed, the general is going to enter the city, and the general can't enter after closing the city gate." The defender shouted.

The soldiers immediately stopped, and could only wait for the general to enter the city before closing the gates. A group of Tibetan soldiers pestered Li Guangbi's soldiers and horses to prevent them from approaching the city gate, and Rensang beat his horses and galloped straight to the mouth of the drawbridge. His personal guards have been slaughtered by Ge Shuhan's cavalry, leaving him alone, and the ** general behind him chased after him with a machete, which frightened him into his soul, and now the only hope is to quickly enter the city and close the city gate.

Finally, Rensang's horse's hooves stepped on one end of the suspension bridge, and Rensang breathed a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as getting rid of the fierce god behind him. He didn't have time to think about it, so he urged his horses to go straight to the city gate, and as soon as he entered the city and closed the gate, he escaped.

More than 100 defenders at the head of the city also stretched their necks to look down, and when they saw Rensang on the suspension bridge, everyone cheered and hurriedly pulled up the suspension bridge. The suspension bridge rose little by little, and the sound of the ropes rolling was very harsh on weekdays, but now Rensang's ears were like Xianle.

Suddenly, the soldiers at the head of the city let out a burst of exclamation, and Rensang didn't know what was happening, so he quickly turned his head to take a look, and this glance was the most terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life. He saw a machete, and the blood on the blade of the machete was clearly visible in the moonlight, and even the gaps left by the slashing were vivid.

The next moment, he was hit in the head by the machete, and he fell from his horse with a thud.
