Li Guangbi understood that although Liangning Prefecture must be preserved, the safety of Zhang Xuan's army is more important.

If there is a problem with Zhang Xuan's military horse, the Tang military horse will not only suffer a big loss, but will also be defeated all the way, and will eventually be unable to keep Liangning Prefecture.

Even if he reluctantly retreated to Liangning Prefecture, this defeat was enough to hurt the vitality of the Longshuo army. And more importantly, because of this, it will be condemned by the imperial court, which will cause many previous victories to come to naught in an instant.

As a famous general in the world, Li Guangbi has an outstanding vision and courage, which is the fundamental factor why Zhang Xuan reuses Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. At the critical moment, generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi will play an irreplaceable role.

After a little thought, Li Guangbi made a choice.

Hua left 10,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to camp at the foot of Jishi Mountain to defend Liangning Prefecture, and the main goal was to defend 10,000 novices in the north. Of course, with the intention of preserving his strength, the novice army marched very slowly, and by the time the novice troops arrived in Liangning Prefecture, perhaps this unprecedented Tangbo war had ended.

Li Guangbi personally led an army of 30,000 troops instead of reinforcing Zhang Xuan on the front line of Wuhai, but instead marched westward, with great fanfare, and put on a posture of attacking the cities of the Tubo king's court.

Li Guangbi's decision is extremely bold, and the risks he faces can be imagined when he enters the territory of Tibet. But such a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao is far more effective than direct rescue, unless Stanley wants to give up his royal court, otherwise, he must return to the army to rescue Luo City.

In this way, Li Guangbi's department played a role in rescuing Zhang Xuan's army.

Although the howling northwest wind blew away the haze in the sky, and a red sun hung high in the sky, the cold wind was biting, and the face was painful.

30,000 soldiers were ready to fight, and the momentum was solemn.

Li Guangbi straddled his horse with full armor, slowly raised his spear, and shouted in the direction of the southwest Luozhi City, "Open up, target the Tubo King Tingluo City!" ”

The 30,000 army suddenly shouted in unison, and when the army was marching out, swords and guns were like forest flags all over the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Wuhai City was originally a fortress of the Tuyuhun Kingdom, and later after Tuyuhun was destroyed by the Tubo, Wuhai was transformed and strengthened into a medium-sized city by the Tubo people, with a tall city wall and a wide area, which is not comparable to the triangular city.

And most of the people living in this city are the nobles ♀ of some small and medium-sized tribes in the northeast of Tibet, and some nobles have their own territories, but their territories and tribes are led by subordinates, and the nomads themselves are like the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and they buy industrial houses in the city and enjoy life.

Because of the existence of these nobles, Wuhai City not only had official soldiers of Tibet, but also a large number of sī soldiers.

There are nearly 4,000 people in Wuhai City's guard, and there are more than 3,000 people in the Triangle City's Laba Division, and the two divisions together have nearly 8,000 people. If you add the sī soldiers captive by the nobles of all sizes in the city, the defensive strength of Wuhai City must exceed 10,000.

This is also the key factor that Gyatso brought more than 10,000 reinforcements over and prepared to fight Zhang Xuan's army to the death in Wuhai.

In Gyatso's view, more than 20,000 people guarded a Wuhai city, backed by the hinterland, and his supplies were constantly planted, as long as it dragged on for a month, the Tang army, which was alone in the depths, would retreat without a fight because of poor planning.

If at that time, Gyatso led his army out of the city to pursue, the Tang army would inevitably be defeated and fled.

Zhang Xuan led the army to gallop to Wuhai City, but it was still a step too late. When the Tang army arrived at Wuhengwei, Gyatso's reinforcements had just entered the city.

Samba Tso and Raba of Wuhai City are nervous in their hearts, and the arrival of more than 10,000 reinforcements from Gyatso is undoubtedly timely rain.

20,000 regular troops plus thousands of soldiers relied on the fortified Wuhai City to hold on for a month or more without any problems.

Afternoon.

Gyatso climbed the Wuhai City Tower on the Surrounded by Samba Tso and Raba, he looked at the torrent of the Tang Army rushing from the southeast of Qinghai Lake, and his eyes gradually became extremely solemn.

Gyatso was different from Samba Tso and Raba, he guarded the northeast of Tibet and fought with the Tang army for more than ten years, knowing that the Tang army's combat effectiveness was not low. Moreover, the Tang army was good at meritorious cities or defensive battles, and compared with the Tang army, the Tubo cavalry was still more suitable for frontal charges and battles.

In this kind of offensive and defensive warfare, the Tibetan army was far less enduring, tenacious and experienced than the Tang army.

From the formation of a military horse and the appearance of the army, you can gain insight into its combat effectiveness. Gyatso found that the Tang army in front of him was huge, the lineup was rigorous, and the advance and retreat were calm and orderly, which showed that it must be the elite division of the Tang army.

Gyatso stared for a long time, and saw that the Tang army began to camp along the terrain on the high slope not far from Wuhai City, so he let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Raba, pass the order, the whole army is on strict alert, the Tang army may come to attack the city at any time, and you must be prepared for defense!" ”

"In addition, recruit soldiers from all the provinces in the city to assist our army in defending the city. Whoever dares to disobey will be killed on the spot! Gyatso waved his hand fiercely and made a head-cutting motion.

Rabah took the command and departed.

Samba wiped his mouth, which was a little chapped by the wind, and said loudly, "My lord, the Tang army has come from afar, the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and they are encamping, we might as well go out of the city with the whole army and kill them by surprise!" ”

Gyatso frowned and rebuked, "Nonsense! If our army rushes out of the city, it is easy to rush out of the trap and ambush of the Tang army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to retreat, once Wuhai City is lost, the Shaliu River will be in danger! ,,Samba smiled and smacked his lips, in fact, he was a little disapproving.

In his eyes, the Tang Army was simply vulnerable. Moreover, this Tang army was only more than 20,000 people, equal to the number of Tubo army horses, and on the territory of the Tubo people, the brave and warlike Tubo iron cavalry rushed out, and it was easy to crush the Tang army's formation.

But Gyatso was not a good person, and Samba did not dare to say more, so he could only remain strangely silent.

The next morning. Outside the city.

Zhang Xuan stood on the high slope and stood in the wind, staring at Wuhai City not far away. Guo Ziyi,

The generals of Nanwuyun and Lei Wanchun all stood behind him.

Guo Ziyi's original intention was to immediately go forward to besiege the city and strive to break through Wuhai City as soon as possible, because the Tang army came from afar and was not durable to fight for a long time. But Zhang Xuan did not agree, but ordered to camp here to rest.

There was a long silence.

Zhang Xuan suddenly coughed violently, and Nan Wuyun hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a kettle, which was warm, obviously just warmed.

"Dashuai, drink some water to moisten your throat."

"Take care of your body!" Guo Ziyi and the others bowed down and said softly.

Zhang Xuan stopped coughing, his face was slightly red, and he nodded, the climate was harsh and cold, Zhang Xuan felt a little uncomfortable since yesterday, obviously he had a cold, and the symptoms were not mild. At the juncture of the confrontation with the two armies of the Tibetans, he suddenly fell ill, which is not a good thing.

Zhang Xuan unplugged it, took a sip of hot water, and then handed the kettle to Nan Wuyun.

He wrapped his thick fur cloak tightly, looked back at Guo Ziyi, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wanchun, you take 7 people with knives to the front of the city to scold the battle, if you can attract the Tubo soldiers and horses out of the city, this commander will remember a great merit for you!" Remember, if the Tibetans go to war, you immediately lead your army back to the front of the main camp and retreat to the two wings! "Order! Please rest assured, the last general will definitely scold this group of shrunken turtles and Tubo dogs to death! ”

Lei Wanchun happily clasped his fists and saluted, and then strode away. After a short time, he led the 2,000 cavalry of his headquarters to gallop down the high slope and go to Wuhai City to fight.

"Nanba, you lead 2,000 people to bypass the west of Wuhai City, and when the commander is the commander, use a catapult to release 100 sky-shaking thunderbolts into Wuhai City! If the Tibetans go out to fight, they will quickly retreat and join Lei Wanchun on both wings of the camp. ”

"Yes, the last will obey." Nan Wuyun also took the order and left.

Looking at the back of Nanwuyun leaving, Zhang Xuan gently covered his mouth and coughed for a while, and his hand tested his forehead, and found some signs of fever. He frowned, but gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Ziyi, you are ready to purge the army, if the Tubo army goes out of the city to meet the attack, no matter how large or small the number is, you must lead the whole army to rush down from the high slope, and be sure to surround and annihilate the enemy in the shortest possible time!" Guo Ziyi nodded silently, and said angrily, "Don't worry, the last general will definitely live up to his mission." Take care of your body, the last general is gone. Seeing that Guo Ziyi also led the crowd to leave, Xiao Shisanlang sighed lightly, "Brother, go into the tent and rest for a while, you are seriously ill and need to recuperate!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother, the two armies are facing each other, and the big war is about to break out, and I can't lie down." Moreover, this large battalion may become a battlefield at any time...... "Lei Wanchun led the sword 7 Tang army to gallop to the front of Wuhai City, and scolded the Tubo dog in front of the city with a shrunken head and a turtle and the like, and did his best to humiliate him, scolding the Tubo soldiers who defended the city on the city tower were all ashamed, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the city immediately to break Lei Wanchun's two thousand Tang troops into pieces.

But without Gyatso's order, no one dared to move lightly.

Gyatso sat on top of the tower, looking coldly at the Tang army under the city that was far away from the range of Tubo's arrows, and his expression was very calm.

Lei Wanchun led 2,000 fierce soldiers to scold for half an hour, his mouth was dry, and he didn't see any movement from the Tubo military horses, and he couldn't help but be a little frustrated. In fact, Lei Wanchun also understood in his heart that if the Tubo people were determined to defend the city, in the end, they would still have to attack the city and fight to the death.

The scolding war is impossible to have an effect.

Lei Wanchun waved his hand, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his rough face. He suddenly shouted, laughed and said, "Brothers, get off the horse, take out the guys, face Wuhai City, listen to the general's orders, pee the fuck!" ”

The army was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed wildly together.

At the sound of an order, the 2,000 soldiers turned over and dismounted, lined up facing Wuhai City, and untied their armor.

Took out the guy at Wuhai City.

"Put! If you are a gentleman, you will shoot farther away for Lao Tzu, and whoever puts it farthest will be rewarded with 500 money

Wen! Lei Wanchun laughed rudely, and the 2,000 soldiers also laughed wildly and began to release water together, and the scene was spectacular. @。
