Guo Beifeng personally led the remaining 8,000 soldiers to join the battlefield, and the Tubo vanguard was defeated in a battle, and the Tang army directly followed the defeated army and rushed into the main formation of the Tubo army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The right wing of the Tubo army was attacked and resisted by 2,000 cavalry under Gongsun Jingsuo, and the right wing of Tubo was in chaos.

There were only 7,000 soldiers and horses left in the Tubo army's main formation, and the morale of the Tang army was completely overshadowed by the Tang army, which was in a desperate situation for survival. As a result, the Tubo generals were panicked in the face of the frantically attacking Tang army, and the entire large array was slowly retreating.

At present, the reinforcements are even greater, and the Tubo generals see the Tang army fighting desperately for survival, and many people are frightened by the courage of the Tang army. Seeing that the Tang army was about to be defeated, the Tubo generals were even more reluctant to die at this time.

No matter how hard Geler tried, the defeat of the army was irreversible, and it was only hoped that the 5,000 cavalry sent out would quickly defeat the cavalry of the Tang Army and return to help, and General Sita's reinforcements would arrive quickly.

Zhang Ran led 3,000 elite cavalry and 5,000 Tubo cavalry to the death, and for a time could not distinguish the winner and loser, and the two Tibetan reinforcements pressed to the south with all their strength through the convergence.

Guo Zhifeng had to personally lead the cavalry to charge forward and break into the Tubo army, and came all the way to kill dozens of enemies, but the Tubo army was defeated and had not collapsed. This made Guo Zhifeng's heart anxious, and under his anger, he actually penetrated the two Tubo people.

"Not good." Grad is more anxious than Guo Beifeng, his soldiers and horses can't hold on, and the rout is only between the rest of the day, if the Tang army is allowed to protrude from the river valley I guard, the prime minister will definitely kill me.

"Only by holding the valley pass and holding out until reinforcements arrive." Seeing that the army was about to be defeated, Grad simply abandoned his infantry and fled the battlefield with his undispatched 2,000 cavalry, heading straight to the southern valley. It was planned to block the Tang army in the narrowest part of the valley with 2,000 cavalry.

Grad led the troops to run, and the Tibetan infantry who could not hold out on to the battlefield collapsed and fled in all directions.

"Won!" Li Xing and other soldiers, who had been fighting hard for several hours, excitedly raised the weapons in their hands and shouted.

Guo Zhifeng's face was cold, he didn't have the joy of victory, but the Tubo general led thousands of cavalry to flee into the valley, how could he not think of his intentions?

"The whole army is rushing into the valley." Guo Beifeng shouted, and took the lead in leading his soldiers and horses to gallop towards the river valley, Li Xing and other generals reported that they were still surrounded by Tubo, and led the army to follow into the valley.

The Tubo cavalry, who fought fiercely with Zhang Ran, retreated when they saw that their side was defeated, and Zhang Ran was able to lead the remaining soldiers and horses to follow behind the main force into the valley.

The valley that goes out of the valley in the south is twenty miles long, and the narrowest part is more than thirty zhang, which is the widest of the three valleys entering and leaving the valley.

At the narrowest point of the river valley, Guo Beifeng's Tubo general Gele, who wanted to annihilate him, was leading 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard here.

This place was only more than two miles away from the exit, and Guo Beifeng immediately launched an attack as soon as his troops arrived, and the Tang army had to dismount and fight on foot because Grad pushed down the rocks from the mountains and cut down trees to block the road. And the valley road is narrow, the mountains on both sides are steep, although the Tang army has a large number of people, it can not give full play to the advantage of troops, and can only pounce on it with a small number of troops to fight, the front is killed and the back is made up, and the life is exchanged for life to consume the Tubo army.

Guo Beifeng walked back and forth anxiously, but the soldiers in front of him had not yet opened up the river valley.

"Report, Tibetan reinforcements to the mouth of the river valley."

Guo waits for a seal, the valley mouth is only ten miles away from here, and the cavalry can be killed in a few quarters of an hour if they advance rapidly, shouldn't our army be wiped out here?

"Who is leading the rear of our army?"

"The deputy chief is the three thousand cavalry led by Zhang Ran."

"Order Zhang Ran to block the Tubo army that catches up with me until our army rushes out of the valley."

"No."

Li Xing watched the herald leave, and suddenly felt a kind of loneliness in his heart, as if he would never see the thoughtful face of Haolong Zhang Ran again.

Guo Beifeng anxiously ordered Yu Lin, who was leading the attack: "Pass the order to Yu Lin, if he can't capture the estuary within a quarter of an hour, come and see him." ”

After Yu Lin received the order, his whole face was wrinkled into Sichuan characters, knowing that he would be punished for abandoning the camp and fleeing, and only by capturing the valley road guarded by the Tubo army could he be guilty of meritorious service. He gritted his teeth and pulled out his horizontal knife, and personally rushed forward with the soldiers.

Sita's army entered the valley, and the Tibetan cavalry filled the valley mouth to pursue the Tang army, and finally stopped a few miles away from the Tang army's headquarters.

Zhang Ran took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which was shown by his wife before the expedition, and there were four and a half children at home. Looking at the Tubo army that stopped dozens of feet away, he smiled bitterly, it seems that it is difficult for me to go back alive today.

"Kill me." Under the order, the Tubo soldiers fought bravely to kill Zhang Ran's army.

"Kill!" Zhang Ran grabbed his horse and waved his sword to lead the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry to collide with the rushing Tubo army, and immediately filled the narrow river valley. The weapons are handed over, and the screams of people before they die are endless.

Yu Lin, who was bent on making meritorious service and finally returned alive, fell carelessly at the last moment of breaking through the Tubo army guarding the river valley when he fell to the dying blow of a Tubo general. Watching the friendly troops rush past him, he died helplessly in this unknown valley.

The moment he walked out of the river valley, Guo Zhifeng looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally broke out of the encirclement. The Tang soldiers were all excited, and they finally escaped after fighting for most of the day today, and many soldiers were pessimistic that they were going to fall forever in the valley behind them.

Guo Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were still more than 10,000 troops behind him, although the battle was lost, the losses were not broken, and he could explain to the court when he went back.

Just when Guo Beifeng and other Tang army soldiers were rejoicing, as if God was going to oppose the Tang army, the familiar sound of thousands of horses galloping came from the west of the exit of the river valley again, which made the Tang army's nightmare of the Tubo black oppressive army appear in front of him again.

"Hehehe! Unexpectedly, the Tang army was forced to kill from the encirclement of more than 100,000 troops under my careful subordinates. Qin Ling looked at the Tang army fleeing east in the distance, and his face showed admiration.

"It's a pity, I gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses here just to destroy you, how could I let you escape?"

"Great Minister, the end will be incompetent." Gele knelt down in front of Qinling in panic, the Tang army escaped from the river valley he guarded, lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and his soldiers and horses were crippled by the Tang army, resulting in the bankruptcy of the plan to encircle and annihilate the Tang army, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses did useless work.

"Humph!" Qinling secretly hated such incompetent people, first there was a great defeat at the mouth of the Lobsang River, and now there is a heavy defeat of the Tang army by the Tang army when reinforcements arrived, and more than 10,000 of the less than 20,000 Tang troops escaped, and had to send tens of thousands of cavalry to pursue. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't rest assured, he personally led the 80,000 troops to rush to the south of the valley outside the valley where the Tang army might break through, and the Tang army would have completely escaped, where would they stop here and wait for me to pursue?

"You lead the remnants of your subordinates to chase me, ordinary soldiers cut five, generals have five more for each higher level, you cut off a hundred Tang people's heads and come back, if you can't cut them back, the whole family will be assigned mine slaves and work until they die."

"Command." After gratitiously kowtowing to Qinling for ten times, Grad hurriedly ran to lead the remaining subordinates to join the pursuit of the fleeing Tang army, regardless of his bloody forehead.

The result of this battle Qin Ling Yijing did not care, the Tang army of the fierce battle for a day did not have much strength to escape, this road to the east is all dangerous roads in the mountains, and its baggage was all lost, how many Tang people can go back alive under the pursuit of our army.

How to deal with Xue Rengui now? Qinling looked southeast.

On Wuhai City, Xue Rengui climbed to the top of the city uneasily and looked to the northwest, as if something big had happened there.

Ashina Daozhen climbed to the top of the city and asked: "The army of the Tubo Third Route going north is camped thirty miles away from Wuhai City, and it does not advance or retreat, just like guarding us, does our army take the initiative to attack." ”

Xue Rengui pondered for a while and said, "It's not too late to attack when the messenger who ordered Guo Beifeng to go south will come back." ”

Xue Ning hurriedly ran up to the city tower and reported to Xue Renguiyu: "The chief manager, deputy chief manager, Gu sent the sentinel cavalry to the northwest to report back, Guo Beifeng led the army to attack Fuluochuan without authorization, and was besieged by hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops in the valley north of the mountain, and now leads the remnants of the army to flee to the mountain. ”

"You said that Guo Zhifeng went out to attack Luochuan and was besieged, and now he is fleeing to the mountains?"

"Exactly!"

Xue Rengui was stunned and turned to look at the northwest, could it be that the heavens are warning him if he has been restless for the past few days? Ashina Daozhen shouted: Guo Zhifeng is stupid.

Xue Rengui's mind was shocked, at present, there are fifty or sixty thousand Tubo troops in the south of Wuhai City, it seems that they are stationed but not attacked, their purpose is to contain me, so as to calmly annihilate the advancing Guo Beifeng, and then turn back to the north and south to attack our army.

"Chief Xue, our army's heavy grain and grass are all in Guo Beifeng, he was defeated and fled, the grain and grass must be lost, and our army has lost its meaning in guarding Wuhai at the moment." Ashina really looked worried and calmly described the situation in front of him, and the implication was that the troops should be withdrawn immediately.

"Hey!" Xue Rengui sighed: "Five hundred miles of surprise attack, but it was useless. ”

"The herald orders that the whole army will withdraw to Dafeichuan early tomorrow morning."
