Zheng Jin was shocked by what Li Xian said, and finally agreed to Sun Fei's request and decided to be loyal to Li Xian from now on, not because of Li Xian's status as a prince, but because Li Xian knew how to cherish the lives of soldiers and knew how to take care of the overall situation, he could see from this that Li Xian was a benevolent person.

And Li Xian also admired Zheng Jin very much, so he still held his original position, and as for his following Guo Beifeng's rebellion today, he didn't care.

Later, Zheng Jin made a reluctant request, that is, to let him take care of Guo Beifeng's future generations and fulfill his last loyalty to repay Guo Beifeng's kindness to him during his lifetime.

Li Xian not only agreed, but also proposed to submit a letter to the imperial court, saying that Guo Beifeng and the soldiers who died today were unfortunately killed while fighting on the front line, and he immediately won the applause of everyone present.

A person who can forgive a person who is not good for him, or even threatens his life, shows that this person is indeed a generous person.

In fact, for Li Xian, Guo Beifeng and his soldiers are dead anyway, no matter how they deal with it, it doesn't matter how they deal with it, it is better to use their corpses again in order to improve their reputation.

In addition, Li Xian has another consideration for doing this, that is, he doesn't want the imperial court, especially the Empress Wu, to know about this, because Guo Beifeng is a person carefully cultivated by the Empress Wu after all, if she hears that she died because of Li Xian, she may not be suspicious of Li Xian, and now Li Xian's strength seems to be strong, but in fact it is just an empty shelf, as long as Empress Wu's words can have disastrous consequences for him, so a big man like Empress Wu who can turn the clouds and rain is still trying not to provoke without provoking.

Therefore, this time, Li Xian not only removed the biggest obstacle to this battle, Guo Beifeng, but also used the dead to earn enough reputation, and at the same time reduced or erased the suspicion of the Empress Wu, which is really a triple win.

After that, Li Xian ordered the soldiers present to quickly clean up the scene, and be sure to remove all traces before dawn, so as not to shake the morale of the army because of infighting, which is not conducive to the next battle.

The movements of these soldiers were also swift, and sure enough, all traces were cleared before dawn, and no one could see that there was a life-and-death struggle here last night.

"All the soldiers have worked hard all night, let's rest quickly...... Stay! ”

"My lord, I don't know what happened?" Ashina Daozhen on the side saw Li Xian letting them go down to rest, but his face suddenly changed slightly, and at the same time he stopped them, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

But Li Xian frowned when he heard it, and said loudly: "Enemy attack!" It must be that the Tibetan army arrived, and wanted to take advantage of the dawn to catch our army off guard, and even take the opportunity to capture our camp is not impossible, and ordered all battalions to assemble immediately and go to defend against the enemy. It has been decreed that the officers and men of the three armies must be assembled within a quarter of an hour, and those who dare to delay in the slightest will be immediately killed. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian immediately put on his armor, took the two-edged spear, and led his two hundred palace guards to the front door to meet the enemy, and at the same time ordered Ashina Daozhen to go to the back door to defend.

"This, this, is it true or false? How did King Zhou find out? Why didn't the garrison have the slightest news? Ashina Dao couldn't help but be suspicious, but he knew that Li Xian was not Guo Zhifeng, although he looked easy-going on the surface, but when it came to military orders, it was really a mountain of military law, and no one could disobey in the slightest, so he had no choice but to act as ordered.

But when he came not far from the back door, he heard the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and looked into the distance through the morning light, only to find that there was a cloud of dust in front of him.

"Sure enough, it was a large army of the enemy attacking, and I don't know how the king of Zhou learned about it, alas, this person is acting unfathomably, and I must not be against him in the future, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even know how to die in the future."

Ashina Daozhen sighed secretly, and at the same time, he immediately shook his spirits, and led more than 1,000 Turkic soldiers under his command and the heavy troops of the Tang Dynasty who came one after another, quickly lined up and entered a defensive state, preparing to deal with the enemy's offensive.

At this time, the commander of the Tubo army, Garzanpo, was amazed, because he led the army to run for more than 100 miles, and approached the Tang army's camp when it was just dawn, and was originally going to take advantage of the Tang army's most relaxed moment to lead the army to launch a fierce attack, break through the Tang army's camp in one fell swoop, seize the Tang army's baggage, and make a move to draw salaries, so that Xue Rengui, who was holding Wuhai City, was forced to withdraw, so as to win the victory of this battle and consolidate the Tubo rule in Tuyuhun.

"Why are those Tang barbarians so heavily defended? They didn't have a night's rest? Zanpo looked at the tight defense system in the Tang Dynasty military camp not far in front of her, and couldn't help but say with an incredible face.

Even the soldiers around him didn't know about it, and the soldiers around him didn't know about it, so they all looked at each other and couldn't say a word.

At this time, a big man with broad shoulders and a round waist came to Zanpo and said loudly: "No matter how strict he is, the general only needs to give me 5,000 elite soldiers, and he will definitely be able to break through the enemy camp and capture Guo Beifeng and dedicate it to the general." ”

Zan Po glanced at the big man, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said: "It's good to test the strength of the Tang thief, chocolate, you will lead the 5,000 troops of the headquarters to attack the Tang army's front village, if it is captured, I will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Okay! The general can rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission. Chocolate was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the five thousand troops in his headquarters, and shouted: "Brothers, did you hear what the general said? We were the first for a while, everyone worked hard, and when we captured the Tang army camp, I invited everyone to drink. ”

At that time, the living conditions in Tibet were very difficult, and people even had barely enough food, and there was no surplus grain to make wine, so wine was indeed a rare luxury for the majority of soldiers, so when listening to Zanpo talk about inviting them to drink, all of them had bright eyes, and some even couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and immediately became high-spirited, and roared loudly to attack the camp.

"Hmph, just relying on such a lineup to try to capture my camp? It's just wishful thinking! Tang Xiujing, who was given the role of guarding the front village, saw that the enemy army was only wearing light armor, holding swords, bows, arrows and shields and rushed up, he couldn't help but sneer, and ordered to the herald: "And don't be impatient, let these fools taste the pain of thistle terrestris first." ”

Before Tang Xiujing's words were finished, he heard a burst of screams in the distance.

It turns out that this Dafeichuan belongs to a large grassland, the Tang army soldiers sprinkled the thistle terrestris into the dense grass, and the Tubo army attacking the camp could not see it at all, plus the Tubo soldiers had an underdeveloped handicraft industry and lived poorly, and there were very few people who could afford to wear military boots, all of which were only available to nobles, while ordinary soldiers generally only wore straw sandals, and some could not even afford straw sandals, so they could only fight barefoot.

Most of the people who screamed loudly just now rushed in barefoot because of poverty, and after they ran a few steps, they were pierced by thistles, and they immediately screamed loudly, making the already somewhat uneven formation even more unsightly.

"It's all fucking spiritual, what are you doing? It's just thistle, what's so terrible? The wounded stand up, and those who can walk continue to walk, and those who can't walk back in, and those who wear boots and straw sandals go first, and I don't believe that this little thistle can stop our warriors? Loud at the helm, Chocolate told the herald to give the order, and then he rushed to the front and continued to rush forward.

The damage of thistle terrestris is actually not large, its role is mainly to deter, so that the enemy does not dare to rush forward, but also cause confusion in the enemy's formation, fortunately, the chocolate can be regarded as a habitual battle, and soon adjusted the formation, so that the army quickly launched another attack.

In a matter of moments, the Tibetan army was already within range of the ballista.

"Shoot the bolts!" Tang Xiujing did not panic in the slightest, and decisively gave an order, and in an instant, only the sharp sound of breaking the air was heard, and an even more terrible cry came from the Tubo army.

This time the situation is very different, because the damage of crossbow arrows is hundreds of times that of thistle terrestris, which can kill people instantly, and hundreds of people are shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

"It's fucking amazing!" At this time, Chocolate was busy urging the soldiers behind him to attack, and he happened not to be in the front row, so he was spared, but when he saw the death of the soldiers in the front row, he was even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

But he couldn't help but move on, because he had already boasted about the sea mouth from the lord general Zanpo just now, and if he retreated like this, Zanpo would definitely cut off his fat head.

So, Chocolate gritted his teeth, shrank in the middle of the group, and shouted, "What the hell are you doing? Hurry up and rush forward, Tang Man will also have that little crossbow arrow, and when he rushes to the edge of the camp, those Tang Barbarians are like cattle and sheep for you to slaughter. ”

Under the urging of chocolate, the soldiers of Tubo could only rush forward desperately, using the soldiers in the front row as meat shields to block a wave of crossbow arrows, and then rushed forward on the corpses of the soldiers in the front row.

After running for more than 20 steps, seeing that the enemy's crossbow arrows were getting fewer and fewer, the soldiers behind felt hopeful, but in an instant, they only heard the sound of breaking through the sky, and it turned out that the Tang army actually shot bows and arrows again!

It turns out that crossbow arrows can only be fired horizontally, although the damage is very large, but it is only limited to the front row, but the bow and arrow are different, they can be thrown, not only the front row, but even the enemy in the back row will suffer damage, and many times this kind of loss can even shoot the enemy's generals, such as Pang Tong in the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Youliang and others at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who died like this.

Although Chocolate was not shot by stray arrows, his soldiers suffered enough, and in a matter of moments, more than 100 people were killed and hundreds were wounded.

"Ahh Don't stop, launch an attack immediately, and when the camp is broken, you will definitely kill all these Tang barbarians. Chocolate roared with rage, driving the soldiers to attack again.

Tang Xiujing in the Tang army camp had already seen that the enemy's morale had declined, and his combat effectiveness had decreased sharply, and now was the time to launch a counterattack, so he waved his hand and said to the two generals: "Zhang Wei and Zhang Wu, you two brothers quietly open the gate of the fortress and launch a fierce attack on the thieves from the left and right flanks.
