Guo Ziyi led the main force to cover up, and Zhang Xun led the remaining Shanzhou guards with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to stand by in situ to prevent the Tubo people from ambushing and copying the back road of the Tang army.

Zhang Xuan is cautious, even if there is a hint of possibility, he has to be 100,000 points prepared.

Before the start of the battle, he repeatedly explained to Guo Ziyi that no matter what, the whole army could not be pressed, leaving a big gap in the future.

Guo Ziyi was also quite cautious in the use of troops, and naturally implemented Zhang Xuan's strategic policy to the letter.

From beginning to end, even now that the Tang army is facing a great victory over the Tubo army, Guo Ziyi did not let the 10,000 people of Shanzhou Wei charge up in case of contingencies.

The Tubo army lost its armor all the way, and the people on their backs turned over and were defeated, and more than half of the 30,000 cavalry were damaged.

But just when Guo Ziyi thought that the Tubo people were about to retreat to Shancheng, and were ready to besiege Shancheng first and then attack Shancheng, the defeated Tubo soldiers and horses suddenly retreated to the central part of the formation, gradually stabilized their position, retreated under a dirt slope, regrouped, and launched a desperate fight with the Tang army that rushed over.

In the earth-shaking shouting of killing, Guo Ziyi snatched the military horn from the herald and blew it from his head.

The sound of the whimpering and loud military horn resounded throughout the audience, and after the Tang army on both wings received the order, they also quickly moved closer to the center, gathering strength to form a single-knife force, and roaring towards the Tubo formation, which had not yet completely stabilized the formation.

Guo Ziyi shook off the guards of his own soldiers, galloped forward, and the spear in his hand struggled to pick off a Tubo cavalry who rushed over, and roared angrily, "Sons, the Tubo people are still fighting, I will break up their formation with one go, our army will win!" ”

Guo Ziyi took the lead, leading the army to attack in the center, while Nan Jiyun was on Guo Ziyi's right flank, Lei Wanchun roared from the left flank and swung his sword to cover up, his body was covered with blood stains from friend to foe, his hoarse and rough voice penetrated the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of knives and guns colliding, and the neighing of people and horses reached Nan Jiyun's ears.

"Nanba, is there any more Divine Fire Crow? Why didn't his grandmother let go? ”

Nan Jiyun swiped his gun horizontally, took an arrow and drew his bow, and shot a Tubo soldier who rushed to Guo Ziyi's front from his horse, and then shouted, "Brothers, prepare rockets!" ”

"Put!"

The rocket cavalry of the Shence Army, who had killed the red-eyed all the way, took out the only two rockets when they heard the order, and continued to charge while firing rockets at the Tubo formation. The neighing sound of rockets flew through the air, and the Tibetan cavalry had already been frightened by this mysterious weapon, and the cavalry in the front line, who had been full of morale, suddenly panicked, and many cavalry turned their horses and fled backwards.

The formation is messed up again.

The rockets fell like rain, the explosion sounded like thunder, and a gap opened in the Tubo formation↓ The Tubo cavalry was wounded by an arrow and fell on the horse's back, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the crazy horses' hooves.

The Tibetan cavalry broke and fled again, and Stanley angrily cut off the Tubo soldiers who had fled back from the rout, and roared, "Don't retreat, escape from the battle, and there will be no mercy!" ”

It's a pity that in the midst of the chaotic army, the voice was noisy, and his angry roar was drowned in, and there were no military orders that few Tubo soldiers listened to.

The general Angren sighed, grabbed the reins of Stanley's horse, and said hoarsely, "Second prince, the general trend has gone, our army can no longer hold on, the Tang army has that kind of mysterious weapon, and it can't be stopped at all." Why don't you take advantage of the situation to return to China and make plans again! ”

"Fart! Kill this king, kill back! Kill! ”

Stanley was crazy and waved the scimitar in his hand indiscriminately, and his face changed, so he had to grit his teeth and gather the defeated soldiers again and continue to rush towards the Tang army.

Seeing that the Tang army seemed to have finished firing that terrifying and mysterious firearms, the Tubo army horses that fled after the rout saw that they reorganized their ranks again, gathered the remnants of the army, formed a triangular phalanx, and attacked the Tang army wave after wave.

The two armies fought a bloody battle in the wilderness outside Shancheng, and the sound shook all over the wilderness.

However, the 30,000 Tubo army and horses fled one after another and suffered heavy casualties, and there are only more than 10,000 people left, while the Tang army has nearly 30,000 people, occupying an absolute advantage.

Guo Ziyi's Lingzhou Wei guarded Longshuo for many years, and had rich experience in fighting with the Tubo cavalry, and played an important role in actual combat. After all, the Shence Army was fighting with the Tubo army for the first time, and it was slightly inferior in terms of on-the-spot adaptability and combat effectiveness.

In comparison, the casualties of the Lingzhou Guard were smaller than those of the Shence Army. As soon as the time of the frontal battle was extended, the 20,000 men of Lingzhou Wei occupied the main position and charged at the forefront. The Shence army was divided into two teams, and under the leadership of Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun respectively, they launched a charge against the Tubo soldiers and horses from both sides.

Zhang Xuan took Xiao Shisanlang and Hua Nu'er and more than 100 guards to rush up a high slope not far away, staring down at the extremely tragic battlefield. There was a strong bloody breath in the air, the blood-red remnant sun gradually fell westward, and the wolf smoke was billowing on the horizon not far away, only the hunting army flag in the Tang army formation was still flying in the wind.

"Brother, after all, the Shence Army is a soldier and horse from the Beijing Division, and it is pampered, but in actual combat, it loses the cover of firearms, and its combat effectiveness is slightly insufficient." Zhang Xuan sighed lightly, "On the contrary, it is the Lingzhou Wei under Guo Ziyi, who has a tacit understanding between each other in advance and retreat, is brave and good at fighting, and has strong combat effectiveness!" ”

"I think that after this battle, the casualties of the Shence Army will be not small."

Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth with some heartache.

"The Tibetan army is in turmoil, and the trapped beasts are still fighting. The casualties of our troops will not be too heavy. Xiao Shisanlang smiled and said, "In the middle of the war, if there are no casualties, the metropolitan governor does not have to be like this." ”

Hua Nu'er also smiled, "Look, the Tubo soldiers and horses have begun to break and flee again, Nanba and Lei Wanchun's formation is not chaotic, the impact is still very strong, these two people are worthy of being generals!" ”

Guo Ziyi in the middle walked even further, and the forward of Lingzhou Wei had been inserted into the Tubo military horses...... Looking at Guo Ziyi's posture, is she going to capture Stanley alive? ”

The three of them were watching the battle, and suddenly heard the roar of galloping horses' hooves from the right rear, Zhang Xuan's face changed, and he turned his head to look, as long as the smoke and dust on the front line of the White Horse Camp were fluttering, a team of Tubo military horses rushed towards the rear of the Tang Army formation.

"The Stanley dog thieves have indeed ambushed a troop of soldiers and horses in the White Horse Camp. Sure enough, ......" Zhang Xuan tightened the reins of the horse, and said with a red face, "Fortunately, the firearms are powerful, and the Tubo soldiers and horses fled too early, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Zhang Xun, as long as you can withstand half an hour, the war here can be over." Zhang Xuan muttered to himself, his eyes becoming a little anxious.

He was not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the more than 10,000 Shanzhou guards led by Zhang Xun, lest this army would not be able to resist the new force of Tubo that rushed to reinforce it. If the Tibetan reinforcements were allowed to break through the defensive line, a flanking attack would be formed.

Although the overall situation will not be completely reversed, it will allow the remnants of Stanley's defeated army to escape.

The earth-shattering military drum sounded, and Zhang Xun led the 10,000 Shanzhou army horses to form a long snake formation, and began to shout and wave the Mo knife to rush towards the Tubo reinforcements who had just bypassed the White Horse Camp.

The war in the rear is about to begin.

Zhang Xuan looked down the slope a little nervously, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

Hua Nu'er said softly, "Let's retreat to the back, this is on the verge of a battle between the two armies, and I am afraid that there will be danger." ”

"No, if you don't retreat, where else can you retreat?" Zhang Xuan shook his head, and said in a solemn voice, "My sons are fighting to the death, and I, the boss, can't escape from the battle!" ”

"Kill!"

Rumble! The two armies were like two torrents of steel that were about to burst out, and they immediately merged together, swords and guns collided and screamed to the sky, and the blood è remnant sun that was about to fall seemed to jump upwards suddenly, and the light became extremely bright at this moment.

From the direction of Shanzhou City, that is, the right rear of Gyatso's reinforcements, a clear-cut military horse ♀ suddenly rushed over, and the momentum was like a rainbow, shouting and killing all the way to gallop vertically and horizontally, and immediately joined the war group, cutting a gap in the back of the Tibetan reinforcements.

"It's a Huiyou!" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he saw at a glance Su Hudong, who was wearing bright red leather armor and holding a double scimitar, Su Hudong waved his double knives, rushed to the front of the team, and instantly drowned in the torrent of Tubo military horses.

"The Hui cavalry is coming to help! Well, that's good! Zhang Xuan yelled excitedly, "This battle will be won!" ”

……

……

The reinforcements that Stanley was waiting for never appeared, and under the bloody battle between the two sides, the heart of the Tubo army, which was in serious decline, gradually had no intention of fighting, and fought and retreated, leaving a tragic corpse, and gradually retreated in the direction of Chiling.

In the rear, Zhang Xun led 10,000 Shanzhou Wei and Su Hudong's 5,000 Hui cavalry to flank Gyatso's military horses in front and back, and the Tubo army was panicked and collapsed.

In addition, he did not see the army of Stanley, saw the battlefield in disarray, and judged that the main army had been defeated and returned to China, and Gyatso lost the mind to fight with the Tang army.

He led the remnants of his army to break through the encirclement of the Tang army, retreated the same way, and tried to retreat to Chiling and join forces with Stanley.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, let them escape!"

Zhang Xuan led the escort army to gallop all the way, Su Hudong heard the movement, and suddenly turned back to look at Zhang Xuan.

In the corner of his eye, he saw a swift arrow slashing through the air, flying towards Zhang Xuan.

Su Hudong's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Be careful! ”

Zhang Xuan is not a martial artist after all, and his reaction is slightly sluggish. By the time he could react, the stray arrow was almost close.

Hua Nu'er on his side flew up from his horse, and between the lightning and fire, he blocked in front of Zhang Xuan, and the dagger in his hand flickered, and the tributary flew away.

But the second feather had already broken through the air. Hua Nu'er was in mid-air, and she had clearly seen that there was a pavilion horse head among the defeated soldiers of Tubo, with arrows and bows to this side, and her face was hideous and fierce. @。
