"Why are there so many Guiyi troops in this sandbank city?" In the night battle, Zhang Sheng led people to rush into the city and occupy the east city wall, and immediately led the team to prepare to storm the city, but was frightened by the dense crowd of people in front of him, and hurriedly asked the striker to stabilize the formation, hold the position, and wait for backup, he stood beside Li San'er, looking at the rifle in the hand of the Flying Eagle Brigade that was loaded directly from the back of the gun after a shot. But for those who flocked to the Guiyi Army, it made his scalp tingle, and his troops were finally replenished after entering Guazhou, becoming a reorganized 10,000 people, but at this time it was not enough to see in front of the sea of people, if it wasn't for him to suppress the scale of the army's charge, he was afraid that the city gate would be scattered by the Guiyi Army sooner or later.

"You're talking a lot of nonsense, let me tell you, those troops who went back to repair are now holding more advanced rifles than I have them." Li San'er knocked down a general of the Guiyi Army with one shot, shook his head and smiled: "Now the rifles of our Tang Empire can be described as a thousand miles a day, maybe those new rifles should be transported to your Western Expeditionary Army after the New Year." "Now, although more than 10,000 horses in Anxi Camp have entered the city, it is not enough to see now.

"How about it, can you hold on for an hour, it will take at least an hour for the team on Chai Jia's side to reach the sandbank." Li San'er teased Zhang Sheng while shooting with his waist down: "My Zhang Dadutong, your people don't seem to have the Modao Battalion to fight, how can you learn the ability to line up and shoot so hard, then when the new gun comes down, won't you even be able to learn the new tactics we use now?" ”

"Nonsense, although my brother is not as good as those legendary central garrison battalions, he is guaranteed to be no worse than the Modao battalion, right?" Zhang Sheng was a little unconvinced, and he didn't want to stay by Li San'er's side, so he reflexively went down the city wall and began to go to the front line to command the troops to defend and counterattack, but because they did not have artillery with them, they could only rely on grenades and rifles to defend and defend. However, it was a large army of more than 10,000 people, and the three-stage tactics could still maintain the density of bullet projection in a small corner, so although the Guiyi army quickly changed its attack method under the personal command of Zhang Chaofeng, it still could not break through the death blockade line in a short time.

It's just that although Zhang Sheng stabilized the situation, he still couldn't help but think of what Li San'er said just now, it should have been the cavalry Tuoba Siji Corps who was arranged to take over the task on his side, but Li San'er's words obviously said that Tuoba Siji could not arrive in Guazhou on time, so wouldn't Tuoba Siji's side also suffer from the other party's containment? Could it be that reinforcements from the south are also coming? Damn the Tibetan mercenary group, this time they must destroy their foundation.

Zhang Sheng was thinking about cursing the Tubo mercenary group, in fact, Tuoba Siji had already encountered the opponent's forward troops, and was caught off guard by the other party, this group of outlaws from the snowy plateau was stronger than Tuoba Siji's scouts when they fought a small counterattack, and after dozens of spies were killed, Tuoba Siji also reacted, but he was found by Xuan Yingwei before he could deploy troops to attack, and it was Zhao Si who came to the door.

Zhao Si brought all the information of the mercenary group in the south, and informed Tuoba Si that the clansmen of the Zhang clan were basically sent here by Li Yichang, and they were ready to take the path that Li Yichang had buried before to go to the Tubo people in the Yangtong area to defect there. This also made Tuoba Siji quickly change the combat goal, and sent the elite men and horses to take the lead in following the people of the Long Group to pursue the people of the Chang clan, and he himself led a large group of men and horses to quickly move towards the direction where the main force of the Tubo mercenary group was located.

That side was quickly divided into two battlefields under the tandem of Xuanyingwei, and the main force of Tuoba Siji was directly defeated by the Tubo people at the beginning with the support of the troops and fire of the mechanical crossbow, and the mercenaries were simply a group of outlaws fighting for money, basically there would be no resilience, and once the battlefield was irretrievable, it would quickly retreat. Although this time, the Tibetan mercenaries had a little advantage in dealing with Tuoba Siji's service in the early stage, and they also understood that this was the best opportunity to interfere in the situation on the sandbank, so they were able to organize men and horses to continue to charge towards Tuoba Siji's position after being fired rapidly by the mechanical crossbow in two rounds, but if it weren't for the numerical advantage, Tuoba Siji didn't dare to attack, but he was afraid that he would collapse on the spot. I saw countless horsemen galloping back and forth under the snow, and the beaten people turned on their backs in front of the rows of bullets. The Tiance Army contained the cavalry advantage in advance in the face of the weapons of the leading generation.

Tuoba Si was fighting a positional battle on this side, but the elite cavalry was under the leadership of Zhao Si and went south at great speed, in order to speed up the speed, Zhao Si even ordered them to try to detour when they encountered a large group of enemies to deal with, and they were not allowed to participate in the battle at will. In this way, Zhao Si was able to quickly shorten the distance between him and the Zhang clan. At about the same time that Tuobas had turned to the attacking cavalry and mounted his horse to pursue the battle, his side also caught up with this team of several hundred men in the mountains on the border between Shazhou and Tibet.

Although there are thousands of Tubo mercenaries guarding the surroundings, but in front of the elite cavalry specially dispatched by Tuoba Siji, these people are not enough to see at all, the number is twice as many as them, the soldiers of the Tiance Army are very decisive when they release the bullets in their hands, and immediately draw their Tang knives to charge, and the whistling cavalry charge makes this Tanggula Mountain Range full of blood, Zhao Si is the first time to participate in cavalry operations, although the command has been handed over to the deputy general, But Zhao Si was still very excited to follow the pace of more than 10,000 people and rushed forward. Due to the small number of Tibetans and the haste with which they encountered this battle, after the Tiance army cut through the opponent's three counter-charges in a row, they broke up the opponent's formation and forced these plateau cavalry into the mountains. Zhao Si's purpose was not to annihilate these people, so after breaking up the other party, he immediately led the army to rush forward and surrounded the Zhang clan who had escaped more than ten miles again.

Zhao Si successfully completed the task here, Tuoba Si followed the situation there is also very good, although the number of Tubo people is huge, but relying on the mechanical crossbow to constantly fire to make up for the gap in rifle bullet shooting, the cavalry charge did not open the situation in the early stage, plus after the Tuoba people organized several charges were blocked by this Tuoba Si Ji command troops, melee grenades played a great role in this battle, every time the dozens of grenades thrown out at a dangerous juncture are tantamount to a round of shelling, Relying on these three distinct sets of weapons, Tuoba Siji played an extremely considerable exchange ratio, and even for the first time in the face of cavalry charges, he blocked the opponent from his own position, and did not have the previous need to equip reserves at any time to deal with those enemy cavalry who crossed the forward position to block the incoming enemy cavalry. Although the opponents who rushed in the rain of bullets were basically scattered, and the formation was easily solved by the reserves who were waiting for work, but the casualties caused by each cavalry breakthrough into the position were a headache for the generals at all levels of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the infantry faced more of a massacre when facing the cavalry.

However, Tuoba Siji's right flank on this side occupies an absolute advantage, but Wan Yi's left flank and the middle deployed in this battle almost had problems, the difficulty of the Anxi battalion holding on for an hour with a number of 10,000 people is too great, and it is also facing the opponent's home battle, and the continuous flow of troops makes Zhang Sheng dare not make any action at all, although most of Su Xiaohu's Flying Eagle Brigade continues to harass Zhang Chaofeng in the rear, so that he cannot put the troops that have lost their formation into the battlefield with confidence, but at the critical juncture of life and death, Zhang Chaofeng didn't have any scruples at all, and regarded the troops that had lost their main generals because of the sneak attack of the Flying Eagle Brigade as their own backup corps, and the tactics of adding fuel in this battle were explained by Zhang Chaofeng, this method of continuously consuming the strength of the Anxi battalion made him unable to do anything else at all, and the casualties of the Anxi battalion after the battle continued to make him frown, and sure enough, as Li San'er said, most of the soldiers in his army were reorganized from the soldiers of the Longjia Army and the Guiyi Army in Guazhou, Without the systematic training of the Tang military and political system, it is impossible to achieve the same level of victory and defeat as other troops when the wind is against the wind.

"Zhang Sheng, you send a team of people to find a way to cover me, and I'll find an opportunity to touch forward and kill Zhang Chaofeng." Li San'er didn't know when he came to Zhang Sheng's side, and the words he said almost startled Zhang Sheng. But the other party also immediately understood what he meant, at this time, the casualties of the Guiyi army in the city were several times larger than those of the Tiance army, but the key to being able to hold on was actually Zhang Chaofeng himself, as long as Zhang Chaofeng was killed, the battle situation would definitely be fundamentally reversed, and even the Guiyi army could completely collapse.

"Damn, Li San'er, are you crazy? Don't you look at where Zhang Chaofeng is now, he is now in the center of the Guiyi Army, there are tens of thousands of people there, how can you get there? Even if I send the best people from my headquarters, I won't be able to send you there. Zhang Sheng swept the Guiyi army, which surrounded himself in a semicircle near the east city gate, and said angrily: "You are crazy, don't pull me." Having said that, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but lick his lips, this kind of once-turned style of play really made him excited, but he couldn't think of any good way to send Li San and them forward.

"Don't worry so much, I have a way to touch the front, you immediately transfer your most elite 1,000 men and horses to me, follow me up, I promise to put down Zhang Chaofeng for you." Li San'er didn't care whether Zhang Sheng was moved or not, and directly asked the third brigade of the Flying Eagle Brigade to assemble immediately, seeing him like this, it seemed that he would do this regardless of whether Zhang Sheng was moved or not.

"Damn, third child, immediately gather your men and horses to follow Captain Li, and the others will give me full strength to shoot, grenade cover." Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth and waved his hand, letting the captain of the personal guard beside him lead people to follow Li San'er. So far, Zhang Sheng has no choice but to wonder if Zhang Chaofeng has sent people back to the city to surround him, if he can't solve Zhang Chaofeng early, I'm afraid that the other party may not think so. So let it out, anyway, the pro-guard team was originally dealing with this situation, and if it failed, it was great to quit, and the brigade waiting for Chai Jia to immediately attack the city was.

In fact, Zhang Sheng's idea should have been to save the Anxi camp in time, and Zhang Chaofeng sent troops to the north gate towards the east gate almost at the same time as Li San'er's action, and began to prepare to surround the Anxi camp on all sides. And Li San'er and the third brigade and Zhang Sheng's personal guards suddenly launched a fierce attack on the northeast after a slight pause, and with the support of mortars and grenades, they rushed towards the opponent's encirclement one point at a time, and successfully broke into the formation of the Guiyi army.

After entering the battle, Li San'er handed over all the command of the troops to Zhang Sheng's personal guard captain and told him to rely on the various strongholds near the city wall to give him half a cup of tea time, and he himself took a few sharpshooters to blend into the crowd, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the assault and successfully heading towards Zhang Chaofeng's Chinese army. A few of them were hiding on the battlefield, and naturally no one could find out. It's just a coincidence that at this time, Su Xiaohu, the commander of the Flying Eagle Brigade, was also fighting Zhang Chaofeng's idea, and unlike Li San'er, who was in the middle of the battlefield and needed to do everything he could, and even needed the cover of the entire Anxi Battalion to have a chance, the main force of the Flying Eagle Brigade in the rear also had a higher success rate in implementing this plan.

It's just that compared to Li San'er, he is also farther away from Zhang Chaofeng, so the simultaneous action in the two compartments also arrived at the designated position almost at the same time, and the position that needs to be chosen for sniping on the battlefield is very important, and there are not many places that can be selected to snipe Zhang Chaofeng, so Li San'er even saw Su Xiaohu himself directly at the first time.

So the two almost didn't have any communication, and directly raised the rifle in their hands and began to look for Zhang Chaofeng in the crowd. At this time, Zhang Chaofeng had already learned that his family and clansmen had been sent out by Li Yichang before, and the other party didn't even have time to send his own family away in order to send away the clansmen of the Zhang clan. Therefore, Zhang Chaofeng had only one purpose at this time, that is, to command the troops to defeat the Tiance army that had entered the city, and then rely on the city wall to hold on. As long as the sandbank is not taken by the Tiance army, then the Anxi Uighurs and Tubo people who were persuaded by Cao Rengui before will come to support themselves, this is not moral, but the lips are cold, if the sandbank is lost, then the Tiance army can directly threaten Anxi and Gaochang, and to the south, it will directly surround the entire Tubo, once the Tiance army launches a second expedition from the mainland, then the Tubo tribes on the plateau will become the meat on the chopping block of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Chaofeng almost reached the point of having no distractions at this time, and nearly 100,000 troops in Shazhou City were all drawn by him, and the main force continued to attack the main position of the Anxi battalion, and sent another general to start around the north city to the east city, preparing to attack the rear of the Anxi camp from behind, so as to surround it on all sides.

The two gunshots did not attract any attention on the battlefield at this time, and even the gunshots were not noticed by anyone except the owner of the gun. However, the consequences of these two shots directly changed the outcome of the entire battle, and the master of the Guiyi Army, who had been fighting more and more smoothly, collapsed in the midst of these two insignificant guns. These two shots shattered the entire morale of the Guiyi army. The result was even noticed by Zhang Sheng at the first time.

"Zhang Chaofeng is dead, and the soldiers of the three armies will charge with me." Zhang Sheng's voice accompanied the charge of the Tiance Army in Shazhou City, and at this time, the dense figures not far from Shazhou City also heard Zhang Sheng's charge, and its speed suddenly began to increase.
