Xi Dongzan really didn't go far, not because he had any foresight, but because the riot in He Bolao City was too strange, even a person with mediocre intelligence would associate it with the actions of the Tang people, not to mention that he thought his intelligence was unusual.

After moving the troops out of the camp, when it was almost night, he ordered the army to turn around, thinking in his heart that if there was no situation at the bridgehead, it would not be too late to go to the rescue after a day or two, at most it would be late, clean up the mess, and the left and right Da Bolu were ready to be discarded, and what was a mere He Bolao City?

Unexpectedly, the Tang people didn't even wait for a night, at this moment he didn't know whether to plan or worry, maybe it was both, the Tang people's army was on the opposite side, lighting torches, there was nothing to hide, the number was much more than him, as for how many crossed the river, he couldn't find out, he could only stabilize himself first, so that the thousands of Bolu soldiers here would not collapse immediately, which was the only situation he did not expect.

Only with these 3,000 cavalry? Xi Dongzan is indeed a little arrogant, but he will not be arrogant on the battlefield, let alone underestimate the combat power of the Tang people.

The blowing of the summoning horn was to remind the Tibetan commander in the battalion that he had arrived, so that even if there was some confusion, the whole army would not collapse.

Sure enough, after the long horn sounded, the two thousand-strong teams on the left and right stabilized, and their respective commanders had already led the team to suppress the impact of a few people, after all, the Tubo people had ruled for more than 30 years, and Jiwei could not be broken in a day or two or a few rumors.

As for the military camp in the middle, Xi Dongzan understood at a glance that most of the idiots of Mardaqi had already blown off their heads.

"You take people to take over the barracks, gather as many people as you can, and don't care about those who run away for the time being." He turned his head and instructed a cronie behind him.

"Yes, Tomoto."

The cronies took the order and left, and he led the cavalry army to spread out in front of him, forming a fan-shaped formation, once the middle army was not strong, he would not hesitate to wave his army to kill, and would rather disperse the people than cheapen the Tang people.

The horn and the cavalry finally made the barracks in order, and the middle barracks that his cronies were ordered to take over were already running away at this time, and all of them were all held by Xi Dongzan and forced to the bridgehead step by step.

About eighty paces away, nearly three hundred Bolu sergeants drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the Tang people in the distance, but strangely, Xi Dongzan had them all change to rockets, and use the method of projectile.

Although some wondered, a military order is a military order, and these Bolu archers took out the torches from the camp and stuck them in the ground, wrapped strips of cloth soaked in fire oil around the arrows, lit them on the torches, pointed diagonally to the sky, and shot them into the sky at an angle of about 45 degrees at the command of the chief officer.

The wooden bow they used, if it was a direct shot, the effective distance was about three to fifty steps, and now it was issued in the form of a projectile, with a range of eight to one hundred steps, basically covering the small formation that the Tang people had organized at the bridgehead.

The question is, what's the use of this?

In the night sky, the burning arrows were like stars, lighting up the night at once, which was the picture that Liu Ji saw in their eyes.

"Quick, protect the bridge!"

The moment Liu Ji went to the sky on the rocket, he guessed Xi Dongzan's intentions, the Tubo people wanted to destroy the bridge, before he heard the Tubo people say that the Tubo people sprinkled fire oil on the bridge early in the morning, as long as there is a little spark, it can be ignited, although he knows, but the time is too tight, he has not had time to deal with it, the enemy will be killed in front of him.

"Zhang is priceless, you are the leader of the team."

He threw down a word, turned around and ran back.

At this time, the front of the wide bridge head was tightly covered by two teams of people, and one after another Tang foot soldiers were coming from the bridge deck, all of them were Tian Zhen's department, but they belonged to other teams.

When he passed by Xu Guangjing's side, he gave an order as he ran: "The shield follows me." ”

Although I don't know why, those sergeants are used to obedience, since it was the commander who spoke, more than 20 people immediately came out of the formation and followed behind him, Xu Guangjing's team suddenly lost half of the people, and it was no longer possible to form, so he had no choice but to meet with Zhang Wubei's thirty people, and barely made up a complete team.

When he came to the bridge, Liu Ji immediately ordered: "Hold up the card and block the arrows." ”

More than twenty wooden signs were raised at once, but the bridge was more than forty paces wide, and even if they stood sparsely, they could not cover it completely, and the rockets would soon fall.

"Go back! Go back! ”

Seeing that it was inevitable, Liu Ji had to rush to the bridge, stop the bridge, and shout loudly at the bridge, his voice made Tian Zhen, who was about to step on the bridge, stunned.

"Whew!"

At this time, countless rockets fell from the sky and fell into this small area, and the sergeants without shields could only dodge on their own, but fortunately, there was enough space, and they were prepared, and the casualties were not large.

Almost at the same time, a bright flame rose up, and in an instant it flew away, and not only the shield-bearers who were blocking the bridgehead were affected, but even the sergeants on the bridge who had not had time to go ashore were caught in the fire!

The Tibetans actually sprinkled the entire bridgehead, from the ground to the beams and even every rattan, with fire oil, no wonder they never lit torches at the bridgehead.

Fortunately, as soon as the fire started, these sergeants only needed to fight simply to extinguish the embers on their bodies, and the sergeants who had already approached the bridgehead did not retreat, but advanced, and one by one they accelerated their speed and jumped from the flames.

Seeing such a scene, Tian Zhen's face suddenly turned pale, Liu Ji's meaning was very clear, and he immediately gave up crossing the river, but in this way, wouldn't he have to cross the river and watch those subordinates who had already crossed the river being slaughtered by the Tubo people who had a hundred times the advantage?

If they don't retreat, they can't be extinguished, once the Fuji Bridge is burned, it can't be extinguished at all, and if they can't retreat before the bridge frame burns down, their result is no different from staying on the other side.

Under the bridge, there is a "weak water" that can't even float goose feathers, and these armored sergeants will not have a chance to struggle.

"Retreat! All back! ”

Tian Zhen almost gritted his teeth and gave an order, and the Tang soldiers who had not yet walked half of the bridge quickly retreated, and when the last sergeant returned, the rattan bridge that was like a flying dragon over the riverbed had burned into a fire dragon.

In the "crackling" scorching, the "boom" suddenly broke off from the opposite end and fell into the dark and dreary river.

A hundred steps away, it is like a moat.
