Wang rarely arrived with 2,000 infantry and a baggage battalion in an hour, and he and Zheng San had already received the news, and they were in a hurry to come over to meet Zhao Ziliang before the 2,000 infantry had been settled.

"General!" The two saw Zhao Ziliang and saluted separately.

Zhao Ziliang nodded, pointed to the direction of Qingshiping and said: "Dazha Lugong led three thousand infantry has been surrounded in Qingshiping, just now after a round of fighting, it would be good if he had three thousand people left with two thousand, he himself was hit by an arrow, even if he didn't die, it is estimated that he is not far from death, Wang is rare, here is handed over to you, a certain will leave you a thousand cavalry with two thousand infantry, and you will attack Qingshiping!" ”

The king rarely agreed: "Yes!" But what are you going to do, General? ”

Zhao Ziliang looked in the direction of Xincheng, "Of course, it is to deal with Dazarugong's reinforcements, our two sides are encountering here, he knows that his 3,000 infantry cannot escape the pursuit of our cavalry, so he decided to fight here against the water, but he will definitely send people to Xincheng to move rescue troops, according to the news found by the Jiedu Embassy, Dazalugong has 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, this time he only brought 3,000 infantry, then the one who stayed in Xincheng must be 2,000 infantry, and it is estimated that the reinforcements from Xincheng are only 1,000 cavalry at most, calculate the time, This reinforcement is estimated to be about to arrive, and after a certain annihilation of this reinforcement, it will continue to march towards the new city, you are here to besiege the remaining less than 2,000 men and horses of Dazarukon, don't worry, find their grain and grass storage location, and fire rockets to burn it, so they can't support it for two days and will collapse! ”

It was rare for the king to see that Zhao Ziliang had thought of all the ways to annihilate this Tubo army, and he didn't have any pressure at all, so he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "General rest assured, the general will not let the general down!" ”

"Okay, don't rush to attack, let the infantry rest well, save up enough strength to fight again, okay, that's it!" Zhao Ziliang said, and said to Ma Lu: "You lead a cavalry regiment to stay here and obey the command of General Wang!" ”

Ma Lan arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”

Zhao Ziliang led 2,000 cavalry and soon left Qingshiping and marched towards Xincheng.

"Come on, send a lookout to search in the direction of the new city, pay special attention to the mountains and forests on both sides!"

"Yes, General!"

The cavalry rode their horses and trotted towards the direction of Xincheng, the sound of horses' hooves did not spread too far, and the sound was not loud, and after marching less than fifteen miles, a cavalry sentinel ran back and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, there are a thousand cavalry reinforcements from Tubo in the direction of Xincheng, according to which it is less than ten miles!" ”

At this time, there was already a large number of horses' hooves in front, and Zhao Ziliang asked: "What is the place five miles ahead, and what is the terrain and terrain?" ”

"After walking three miles, I turned into the bank of the Datong River, and on the left side was a bare mountain forest, and the mountains were so rugged and rugged that it was impossible to hide people or climb rocks."

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he immediately decided: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" Command the whole army, speed up and prepare the camp! ”

"No!"

At the end of August, the ice and snow on the Qilian Mountains melted, the water level of the river was very high, the water quality was turbid, and the water flow was rapid, and on the right side was a bare mountain, and the mountain was really rocky and rugged, and there was no way to go up the mountain, and there was no way to hide the soldiers and horses.

When all the 2,000 infantry entered the road on the bank of the Datong River, Zhao Ziliang saw a dense black spot at the end of the road, and immediately stopped his horse and raised his palm to signal the army to stop advancing.

The herald immediately shouted: "The general has an order, the whole army stops advancing!" ”

The horses came to a halt after a few more steps forward by inertia, and for a moment the entire cavalry of two thousand men did not make a sound.

Zhao Ziliang picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, and a flag appeared in the lens, looking at the pattern of the Tubo national flag, and in the front there was a Tubo general wearing iron armor riding a white-colored war horse.

The other party soon found the Tang cavalry that had stopped on the bank of the river, but due to the distance, it was not clear for the time being, but after walking in, he soon found that it was not his own men and horses, and immediately ordered to stop the advance, and the two armies faced each other at a distance of one mile.

Zhao Ziliang saw the golden nail jujube yang lance hanging on the victory hook, and while taking out the treasure carving bow, he shouted: "Everyone bow and arrow ready!" ”

"Brush Brush ······" The soldiers took out their bows and arrows one by one, and then they had to rely on their legs to control their horses, and their hands had to be free to use their bows and arrows.

After a pause of a few seconds, Zhao Ziliang shouted: "The front is the Tubo cavalry, as the saying goes, 'two armies fight, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road'." This sentence is the current situation, the whole army is lined up in twenty columns! ”

Under the order of Zhao Ziliang, the two thousand cavalry quickly lined up into twenty columns, this river valley is only so wide, the twenty columns just filled the entire river valley, the gap between each column can not accommodate a horse to pass through, such a dense formation, as long as you rush over, you can imagine how much impact there is.

"Kill-" Zhao Ziliang roared, and rushed out with his legs between the horse's belly, followed by the first row, then the second and third rows······

The two thousand cavalry of the Tang Army moved at this moment, and after a dam opened the floodgates, a torrent of black steel accumulated great strength and rushed out.

"Boom ······" The sound of horses' hooves came like thunder, the whole valley shook and trembled, the water of the rapids on the river surface trembled, the bare mountains on the left trembled uncontrollably, and from time to time a large number of stones and debris rolled down from the top of the mountain.

The Tubo army on the opposite side also moved at this time, compared with the dense and strict formation of the Tang army, the formation of the Tubo cavalry was much looser, in terms of weapons and equipment, the Tubo cavalry could not be compared with the Tang army at all, there was no unified standard helmet and armor, no shield, wearing ordinary linen clothes, only spears, spears and knives.

"Three rounds of shooting, let's shoot the arrow—" Zhao Ziliang roared and shot the first arrow, followed by the first and second arrows.

It has long been calculated that with the maximum range of the Tang army's bow and arrow, the bow and arrow of the Tang cavalry at the back can just fall at a distance of 30 meters from the front row of cavalry.

Three rounds of arrow rain fell in a row, and the formation of the Tubo cavalry on the charging road became more sparse, but the Tubo army finally gritted their teeth and persevered, everyone knew that the confrontation between the two armies under this terrain was absolutely impossible to turn around and retreat, retreat or escape is death, and there is hope for life if you keep rushing over.

The two torrents were moving in opposite directions, and the speed was extremely fast, one black steel torrent was much denser, while the other torrent was sparse and sparse, and the momentum was much worse.

When the two armies were less than two hundred meters apart, the Tubo generals finally found out that the Tang army's dense formation brought a strong shock in momentum and was terrified, so it was too late to order the cavalry behind them to line up more densely.

"Boom-"

The two armies finally collided, and in an instant, the man was on his back, the spear broke, the human body flew, the stump and broken arm were sprinkled everywhere, blood was splattered everywhere, and many people were drowned out in the huge momentum before they could make any sound.

The neighing of the horses, the shouts and screams of the soldiers, the interweaving of the intertwining of weapons and the terrible sounds of piercing the human body form a symphony of war in this valley.

Zhao Ziliang's eyes were full of murderous anger, and he continued to roar, "Kill, kill, kill!" The golden nail jujube yang lance in his hand continued to swing and sweep, and the Tubo generals were poked to death by him for the first time, and the Tubo cavalry who were still rushing over were swept off their horses by him one by one and crushed into meat sauce by the Tang cavalry behind him.

In such a narrow river valley, the lethality of the cavalry of the Tang Army in a dense formation was too strong, like an iron plough being pulled forward quickly by a mad bull, and everything that stood in front of it was turned over.

The followers who followed behind Zhao Ziliang were actually very relaxed, with Zhao Ziliang opening the way in front, they basically had nothing to do, but when the enemy attacked Zhao Ziliang from the side, they had the opportunity to help Zhao Ziliang block the attack from both sides.

The two thousand Tang cavalry are like a huge arrow, and Zhao Ziliang is the tip of the arrow of this arrow, which is extremely sharp and tenacious, and nothing can stop his sharpness.

Zhao Ziliang was covered in blood, rushed three miles away, and killed the entire Tubo cavalry before he felt that the front suddenly opened up, and there was no enemy army.

Looking back again, the valley where the Tang cavalry rushed over has been densely covered with a layer of corpses of the Tubo cavalry, and the corpses of many Tubo soldiers and war horses have been trampled by the Tang cavalry.

None of the Tibetan cavalry escaped, a thousand Tibetan cavalry all folded here, after the Tang cavalry stopped, except for the sound of war horses snorting and the murmuring of the river, the surroundings seemed quiet, and the strong bloody atmosphere permeated the entire river valley, which was disgusting.

Zhao Ziliang put the golden nail jujube yang lance on the victory hook, took off his helmet and clamped it under his armpit, wiped a handful of blood on his face, and ordered: "The herald soldiers can dismount and rest for two quarters of an hour, and each regiment will count casualties and losses!" ”

"Yes, General!"

The cavalry of the Tang Army dismounted one after another, many of them walked to the river, and some of them were grinding their weapons that had just been notched on the stones by the river valley.

It didn't take long for the captains of the two regiments to come over and report the losses to Zhao Ziliang, the first regiment lost sixty-eight cavalry, the second regiment lost seventy-two soldiers, a total of one hundred and forty soldiers were killed and wounded. This loss was within the acceptable range of Zhao Ziliang, the Tang army was calculating, and the Tubo army came with a quick rescue, and they did not expect to encounter the Tang cavalry on the way, so they were caught off guard to a certain extent.
