Thank you Dugu for asking for the right child, Hua Miaomeow's reward and the monthly ticket of the three C brothers, Ayong thank you!

…………………………………………………………………………

On the third day of the eighth lunar month, it was still a sunny summer day, and a group of sergeants outside the city of Yan County stood neatly and quietly, their faces were solemn, and their eyes did not squint, like statues standing.

Karondawa followed Li Bao and others to stand in front of the Weizhou army, and now he has become a prisoner of the Tubo nobleman, and now he is very tired and sleepy, and he was forced to follow the Weizhou army to Yanxian on the third watch this morning.

Now that it is not too late (8:00), the new army of Weizhou has arrived outside the city of Yanxian County, and Karondawa, who is accustomed to sleeping late and getting up late, is sleepy and unbearable after a rapid march in the middle of the night, but he can't sleep.

Because now the Tubo army in Yanxian County obviously did not take the loss of Weiyuan County seriously, when the Weizhou army came to the head of Yanxian County, he could clearly see the shocked expressions of the guards in Yanxian County.

However, after the Tubo leader of Yanxian County sent an envoy to find out the intention of the Tang army, the arrogant Tufan nobleman, who was also a judge of the Tubo high family, Ludongzan, actually had the same mind as Kalondawa, and the proud and arrogant Tubo people took soldiers and horses out of the city with the intention of fighting the Tang army in the field.

Li Bao looked at the Tubo army on the opposite side, watching them slowly go out of the city to reorganize the army, and the initial impression was that the Tubo army was sloppy, but the armor was very complete, and the Tubo people still had some party items, the servant army composed of the Qiang and Tuyuhun people.

Although these barbarians don't seem to have their own soldiers, they have been immersed in battle formations for a long time, and they are much stronger than these battlefield junior brothers under their own command.

At present, their advantage is artillery, a sharp weapon on the battlefield, and not too many people know the power of artillery, but Li Bao still does not know what the combat effectiveness of the Weizhou New Army is.

Based on today's battle, Li Bao planned to use the artillery battalion to attack first. In this field, the field battle with the Tufan people tested the combat effectiveness of the Weizhou New Army in the past year and a half.

Li Bao had already discussed with Zhang Qingping and others before coming to Yan County, so today's protagonists are still Zhang Qingping's Modao Battalion and Qian De'an's Sword and Shield Battalion, Xiahou Haoyue's cavalry battalion is auxiliary, and the artillery battalion led by Zhou Rui is on standby.

The fighting methods of the Tibetan people are similar to those of the steppe peoples in Chinese history, and they are mainly cavalry. However, the Tibetans were divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

The light cavalry was mainly leather-armoured bows and arrows, and mainly attacked quickly. The heavy cavalry is the armor and helmet of men and horses, which is no different from the heavy cavalry that Li Bao knew in later generations.

However, there was no shadow of heavy cavalry in today's Tubo army, and Li Bao felt a little regretful in his heart. He nodded to Zhang Qingping, who was about to go into battle, and then Li Bao and Zhou Rui slowly retreated to the end of the formation.

Now that the military formations have been arranged, there is no need for the two armies to talk nonsense, so let's start fighting.

Zhang Qingping led his Mo Dao team to hide behind the sword and shield battalion, and today's battle was very important, after all, this was the result of more than a year of training for him.

If his sons and daughters can't prove their strength with the swords and guns in their hands, then Zhang Qingping, as the leader of the Weizhou New Army, is really useless. I am also sorry for the trust of Li Bao, who has high expectations for him, and even more sorry for the virtuous and beautiful wife.

The rumbling sound of war drums shattered Zhang Qingping's thoughts, he took a deep breath, and then nodded to Qian De'an and Xiahou Haoyue not far away, and then he shouted: "Today's battle is the first actual battle of our Weizhou New Army, and I just hope that our big guys will show the courage and combat power of our Weizhou New Army."

Otherwise, wouldn't you have to face the father and elders in the family without shame, and be looked down upon by the barbarians opposite. You must remember that the reason why we want to be soldiers is to use our swords and guns to protect our wives and children and the land behind us. Can you do it? ”

The soldiers under Zhang Qingping's command were very arrogant and self-respecting in the Weizhou New Army on weekdays, and yesterday under the head of Weiyuan County, the artillery battalion made a meritorious service alone, which made them feel very depressed. When they came to fight Yan County today, they had already held their breath. It was because they were inspired by the military master, and they were even more high-spirited. They shouted loudly, "Victory!" Win! ”

The mood of the Modao battalion suddenly infected the entire Weizhou New Army, and the sergeants at the head of the other battalions also shouted: "Victory!" Li Bao and Karondawa, who was not far from him, were also shocked by the confidence and courage of the Tang army.

The voice of the new army of more than 1,200 people in Weizhou was like a surging tide, stirring under the city of Yanxian. Lu Dongzan, the leader of the Tubo people, was shaken by the morale of the Tang army, and he muttered: "When did the Tang people bring seeds like this? ”

In the impression of the Tubo people, the Tang people have long lost their former blood and toughness in the past hundred years, and they are often accustomed to the image of fleeing under the dash of the Tubo people. However, the Tang Army coming today really made Lu Dongzan very curious.

However, this is not the time to be curious, Lu Dongzan took out a long knife and gently knocked it under the armor of Mingguang Armor, making a sound of "dang, dang". Speaking in the Tibetan language, he shouted loudly: "Warriors, the cowardly and cowardly Tang people have come to die again, what we have to do is to crush them and kill them all!" ”

The sergeant behind Lu Dongzan shouted a few times in the uneven words of Tubo, Dangxiang, and Tuyuhun dialect: "Kill them all" and then began to prepare the whole team to charge.

Seeing that the Tibetans were about to start charging, Qian De'an immediately gave orders to his soldiers, "All of them are ready, in combat state, ready to meet the enemy." ”

With Qian De'an's order, the heads at all levels, the chiefs, and the army commanders began to convey orders at each level. As a military commander, Wu Xiaowu loudly reprimanded several sergeants under him.

At this time, everyone was nervous, but he knew that he couldn't be nervous, and the battle at this time was about his life and that of his son.

On the third day of the eighth lunar month, it was still a sunny summer day, and a group of sergeants outside the city of Yan County stood neatly and quietly, their faces were solemn, and their eyes did not squint, like statues standing.

Karondawa followed Li Bao and others to stand in front of the Weizhou army, and now he has become a prisoner of the Tubo nobleman, and now he is very tired and sleepy, and he was forced to follow the Weizhou army to Yanxian on the third watch this morning.
