In the southwest of Dafei Sichuan, there is a four-stop place between the north of Fuluo River and Heka Mountain, surrounded by mountains, and there are only three small river valleys to communicate with the outside world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the valley where the mountains and valleys were once silently filled with unknown wildflowers, and in the valleys where cattle and sheep were flocked, there was an army of tens of thousands of Tibetans who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Report, Prime Minister, General Grad has come to report that the Tang Army is entering the valley by crossing the river and Kashan."

"Okay." Qin Ling's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and the Tang army was drilling into his cloth pocket. "Pass my general order, go to the Tuyuhun troops for reinforcements, and hurry to the valley." Qin Ling calmly and calmly issued a battle order, this battle is only allowed to win and not lose, and the best thing is to annihilate this Tang army here.

However, if the Tang army is surrounded in the valley and cannot be eliminated in a short time, it will be a little bad for Xue Rengui to rush to the rescue desperately when he gets the news.

It also needs the army to contain Xue Rengui, and there is no need to engage him, just need to follow and drag him down.

The generals around Qinling **** said: "South of Wuhai, how many troops are available in Bailan and Duomi?" ”

Jeb replied: "Minister, the second department can use about 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Order the Second Department and the Zhonglongyi garrison to immediately lead their troops north to Wuhai, and there is no need to engage the Tang army occupying Wuhai City, just encircle it in an encirclement situation."

"Sita, you lead 20,000 cavalry to rush to the valley first, and command all the troops to destroy the Tang army here."

"Brother commands!"

As one military order after another was issued from the Qinling camp, the entire northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was like a wolf pack smelling blood, and frantically surrounded the Tang army of Xue Rengui and Guo Beifeng.

Tubo is a military country where all the people are in the army, and the local lords are both local officials and army commanders, and the chief officials are also known as the commanders. It belongs to four such as, and four such as is divided into upper and lower two such as, and a total of eight such as ruling the whole country.

In the south of Wuhai, there is also a thousand households in Tubo stationed, leading the troops in about 10,000 people, and the two departments of Bailan and Duomi, which were subdued by Tubo, each have a commander of 10,000 people, and can gather more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to go north in two days, and with the passage of time, the two departments can gather more soldiers and horses to reinforce.

Guo Beifeng unconsciously plunged headlong into the encirclement set up by Qinling, and shortly after his army passed through Heka Mountain, 30,000 Tuyuhun troops from the north blocked his route.

Sita led 20,000 Tibetan elites to rush to Tuyuhun City day and night, took over the command of the local Tuyuhun troops, and had already received the order of the Tuyuhun Grand Minister Qinling to send 40,000 troops to enter the valley along the river valley in the west of the valley.

There are also 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Tuyuhun army from the northwest direction towards the valley, plus the 20,000 Tubo army that had been guarding the valley for a long time, a full 120,000 soldiers and horses are surrounded towards Guo Beifeng. The 80,000 elite soldiers of the Qinling headquarters who were speeding up the march had not yet been counted.

Guo Beifeng, who entered the valley, learned from the sentinel that tens of thousands of Tibetan troops marching east from Fuluochuan were camping on the riverbank on the south side of the valley.

Due to the large amount of baggage carried by the army, the roads in western Sichuan and Hekashan were difficult to travel, and the Tang army was exhausted from the generals to the soldiers. Guo Beifeng had no choice but to order the whole army to rest for the night, and launch an attack on the Tubo army early tomorrow morning, striving for a battle.

The commander of the Tubo army, Gele, who was stationed on the south side of the valley, always paid attention to every move of the Tang army, although he knew that the Tang army was physically and mentally exhausted after a difficult trek, and remembered the courage of the Tang army when he fought with the Tang army in the past, but he did not dare to take the lead in attacking, and he only had 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands and had no advantage in strength against the Tang army, so he had to wait for General Siduo to lead a large army to come before making a decision.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and come out for a walk? There will be a fierce battle tomorrow, and it will not work if you don't have enough spirits. ”

Zhang Ran's friend Li Xing inspected the camp and saw Zhang Ran walking around the camp alone with a sad face, and went up to say hello.

"Brother Zhang, what did you think of, this face is complaining!"

"Alas!" Zhang Ran saw that he was a friend, and sighed: "Since I left Dafeiling, I have been in my heart, and now I am even more uneasy, and I always feel that something big is about to happen." ”

"Hey, what can be a big deal, isn't it tomorrow's big war in Tibet? Could it be that we will still lose to Tubo, the main army of Tubo has invaded Anxi, and now there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in Tuyuhun, let's annihilate them, Tuyuhun old land, such as probing for things. Li Xing said confidently.

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head, always feeling that the war was not as good as Li Xing said.

There was nothing to do all night, and the Tubo attack camp that Guo Beifeng was worried about did not happen, and the Tang army rested for a night. The next day, under the leadership of Guo Zhifeng, he left the camp and drove towards the Tibetan army.

The hard-won surprise attack was impossible, and the difficult climb over the mountains and mountains had already been discovered by the Tubo army, and the valley was flat, and the smoke of the two army barracks for cooking could be seen from each other.

Regardless of whether General Sita arrived in time today, this battle was no longer inevitable, and when he found out that the Tang army was cooking, he ordered the whole army to go out of the camp after cooking and eat, and confront the Tang army on the river beach in the middle of the valley.

The war drums of the two armies rang loudly, and the morale was high, clenching the weapons in their hands, and waiting for their own generals to give an order, and then kill them and take the enemy's head.

Guo Beifeng ordered his subordinate Li Xing to be the vanguard, led 5,000 elite soldiers to charge into battle, and led 5,000 soldiers to watch the fighters.

Li Xing raised his hand and said passionately to his soldiers: "The time has come for the soldiers to report their national merits. ”

"Kill!" Li Xing roared, his legs clamped the belly of the horse, and led the army to charge.

"Kill ......" 5,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the sky shook the earth, followed Li Xing and launched an attack on the Tubo army array.

In order to prevent leakage, the Tang army captured his own sentry cavalry and learned that the prime minister transferred more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle, so that the Tang army did not enter the ambush circle. Therefore, except for himself and dozens of generals in the Grad army, who knew that the reinforcements of the Great Ministers and the outskirts of the valley could be killed in the valley at any time to give the Tang army a severe blow, the ordinary generals did not know, so that they were frightened by the high momentum of the Tang army, and their morale was a little low.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Geler rushed into battle and shouted: "Those who kill the first level of the Tang people will be rewarded with fifty sheep, and those who kill the first level of the Tang people will be rewarded with five hundred sheep, one hundred cattle, and three female slaves, kill me." ”

The ordinary soldiers and generals of the Tibetan army were all bitter herdsmen, and their lives on the alpine Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were more miserable than those of the Turkic people who also grazed their herds. Hearing the commander's reward, the Tubo soldiers who were originally demoralized all screamed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. As soon as Geler gave an order, the forward army killed the rushing Tang army, and in their eyes, the head of every Tang person was a cow and sheep who could live a good life at home.

The two armies rushed together and immediately flesh and blood flew sideways, hundreds of people were killed on the battlefield, and they fell to the ground with broken hands and feet screaming, and after a while, they were stabbed by enemy soldiers to see Lord Yama.

Li Xing waved the horse lance in his hand, and the heavy armor of the Tubo cavalry wearing fish-scale chain mail was shattered and killed by a blow.

The generals of the Tang Army held in their hands the special armor-piercing horse lance for cavalry developed after hundreds of years of war, which could be cut and stabbed. THE BLADE OF THE LANCE IS 50-60CM LONG, WHICH IS MUCH LONGER THAN ORDINARY GUNS AND SPEAR WEAPONS. The blade has a distinct armor-piercing edge, and the best lance will have eight sides, like the sword. Ordinary fish-scale chain mail, iron armor, and bright light armor were broken with one blow under the armor-piercing horse lance.

Li Xingyi rushed into the Tibetan army as if he was in a no-man's land, and there was no one under the horse lance.

The soldiers of the Tang Army fought bravely to kill the enemy and fight for meritorious deeds. In the early Tang Dynasty, men joined the army to fight is a personal glory, and they won military merits on the battlefield and won the medal, not only by the imperial court, but also by the respect of the whole society, far different from the utilitarian utilitarianism of soldiers who only fought for the military sound after entering the Tang Dynasty.

In the early Tang Dynasty, men could even join the army without military sound, and brought their own weapons and food to join the army, which was the case with Xue Rengui at the beginning.

Inspired by the rich rewards, the Tibetan army and the Tang army suffered heavy casualties after a fierce battle, and gradually lost the enemy. If our army did not hold out until the arrival of the main army of General Sita and rushed to the route, then the Tang army would find that it was surrounded by heavy troops and could break out of the valley from behind our army into the valley of the valley.

Grad was anxious and prayed that General Sita would come soon.

In order to delay time, Grad sent another 3,000 troops into the battlefield to help.

"Hahaha! The defeat of the Tibetan army was revealed. Guo Beifeng stroked his beard, and the smile on his face never stopped.

"Deputy Commander, our army is victorious, hahaha." The other generals smiled confidently, the Tibetan striker was almost unable to hold on, but the opponent's main general used the tactic of adding fuel, a typical incompetent general.

......The sentry sent out to guard before the battle, the sentry horse sent out to guard before the battle, galloped to Guo Zhi in a panic, and even forgot to report urgently: "Deputy commander, our army has found that tens of thousands of enemy troops are killing our army's camp. ”

"Report." Before Guo Beifeng and the other generals could digest the news, another sentry came to report with a nervous expression.

"Tens of thousands of Tibetan troops have appeared at the mouth of the northwest river in the valley, and they are constantly killing our army."
