In the southwest area of Qinghai Lake, Datang is customarily called Dafeichuan.

The wide and gentle Buha River quietly stretches its body, and a green ribbon flows through the grassy grasslands, feeding the Tianjun grassland, the largest natural pasture in the western part of the Haixi region.

On the vast grassland, shrubs and grasses are overgrown, water willows, alkali poplars, and red willows grow very vigorously, and clusters are distributed on the grassland by the river, looking like a graceful girl at a glance.

This natural pasture stretches as far as the eye can see, scattered with large and small Tibetan tribes. Meadow was a beautiful and industrious maiden, who got up early to milk the mare, and then carried the little barrel to the river to draw water, and prepared to make breakfast for the whole family.

There are many water pools near the river beach, like smooth mirrors scattered on the grass, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and the sun is shining.

In the bushes were white flocks of sheep and black yaks; There are also two camels, earthy yellow fluff, which also shine brightly in the greenery. Suddenly, a large flock of waterfowl flew up, they felt a little fresh, their mouths did not stop chewing, and the grass stretched its neck and looked over there for a while, what is it? It's nothing? Anyway, he shook his head a few times, and continued to bow his head and nibble on the grass leisurely.

Mei Duo was a little curious, and turned around the water willow forest to see what had startled the birds. At this moment, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the flock, which was quietly grazing, began to stir.

On the opposite hillside, hundreds of horsemen swept up to the top of the slope like a black cloud, and then flew down, and the people on the horses were all wearing Tibetan costumes, looking from afar, Mei Duo thought that the brother and his clansmen who had been called to fight a few days ago had returned.

Every time her brother went on an expedition, he would always bring back a lot of exquisite belongings of the Tang people, and the golden hairpin on Mei Duo's head. It was brought back by my brother from his last expedition.

I didn't expect my brother to come back so soon this time, and Mei Duo happily took a few steps. only to find out that something was wrong, and the hundreds of cavalry who rushed over looked like Tubo. But they were not their own people, and when they approached the tent, they not only did not slow down, but also showed their swords and guns.

Not good! Mei Duo subconsciously turned around and hid behind the water willow tree, only to see the hundreds of horses swept by like the wind, one by one tents were destroyed, one by one the stunned clansmen were knocked away, and the snowy saber reflected the sunlight and cut down like lightning. "No!" Mei Duo screamed in despair, and she saw her father's head fly up with the light of the knife, blood spurting like rain.

Powerful arrows swept through the air like flying locusts, and those young men who had just taken out their weapons in shock were shot to the ground one by one, and their corpses were then trampled by the war horses, and blood and flesh were splashed!

It's not true, no! This must not be true! Mei Duo looked at this terrifying picture and couldn't believe it. It was as quiet as ever, and such a terrible thing could suddenly happen.

These people are demons, and everywhere they pass, one by one, their tribesmen have died tragically under their horses. They howled loudly, sprinted hard, and wielded their murderous knives and guns desperately.......

Meadow had never experienced war. She had never seen such a horrific picture, and every time she asked her brother. His brother always told her lightly that the enemy was vulnerable. scared away before he could rush up;

She believed that his brother was definitely not killing people like these demons in front of him, her brother was a hero, and these people were devils.

Howl! Suddenly, there was a wolf howl, and a giant wolf with a terrifying size rushed towards the water willow forest where Mei Duo was hiding, and then a man chased after him. The giant wolf cracked its mouth and bared its fangs, which frightened Mei Duohua and collapsed to the ground.

"Tinker Bell!" The man who was chasing after him screamed, and the giant wolf stopped in front of Mei Duo, let out a whining roar from his mouth, and stared at Mei Duo with fierce eyes like a hook, but did not continue to pounce.

"Shhh Li Ang took a long breath, in the past two days, they have broken three Tibetan tribes in a row, Li Ang has never touched a Tibetan woman, not that he is clean, but that he can't look down on those Tibetan women at all.

But the Tibetan girl in front of her is really beautiful, which is rare among Tibetan women.

Leon couldn't help but laugh and jumped off his horse.........

Located on the south bank of the Buha River, Fuqi City is the largest city on the west bank of Qinghai Lake. It was only fifteen miles from the lake, the outer city was about three miles long and one and a half miles wide, and the walls were made of gravel, sand and mud, and looked more like a. Outside the city is a vast prairie with abundant water and grass.

This is the place where the business travelers in the south of the Qilian Mountains must pass through, especially when the Hexi route was blocked in the past, all the caravans can only take the south road of the Qilian Mountains, and cross the Kunlun Mountains through the Fuqi City to the Western Regions, therefore, the Fuqi City is the most prosperous town in the Qinghai Lake area.

Until the third year of the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, before the destruction of Tuyuhun by the Tibetan Plateau, Fuqicheng has been the seat of the royal capital of Tuyuhun for at least 120 years.

Now, the city is garrisoned by the lower border army of the three border armies of Tubo, which originally had 2,000 soldiers and horses, but now, most of the soldiers and horses in the city have been garrisoned by the general Enlan? Dazarugon was transferred. Only Xiao Qian, the general Qiucha, was left with 500 people to stay in Fuqi City.

Since yesterday evening, the news that the Tang army has come to attack has been coming, and he just wanted to send troops to pursue in the direction of the attacked tribe, but the news of the attack by the Tang army came from the tribe on the other side;

Qiu Cha was scorched, God knows how the Tang Army came here? How many people are coming? He didn't even know which side to send his troops, and he dragged on until the next morning, and he hadn't sent a single soldier.

What makes Qiu Cha difficult to understand is that the general Enlan? Dazaru Gongzheng led an army of 50,000 to press towards Chiling, and there were countless reconnaissance cavalry on Chiling in the past few days, where did this Tang army come from?

At this moment, Centurion Danba stumbled in and reported to Qiucha: "General Qiucha, it's not good! I just received news that this morning, the Samba Department in Baiyanggou was also attacked by the enemy, and it is said that there are more than 100 people in this Tang Army, and more than 500 people in the Samba Department, all of whom have been killed! This time, even the old man was not left. ”

"What? Samba attacked? Qiu Cha could hardly believe his ears, Baiyanggou was less than thirty miles away from Fu Qi City, and it could be reached in half an hour by horse. The enemy dared to sneak up here.

Qiu Cha didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to report to Da Yan Mangbu Zhi in person. The Tubo faction (Prime Minister) Mangbuzhi was originally going to lead the army to conquer Longyou with the general Dazaru Gong, but unfortunately he fell seriously ill. You can only seek medical treatment in Fuqi City,

His illness was just getting better. When I heard the news of the Tang Army's attack, I was shocked. Almost fell down again.

Qiu Cha hurriedly stepped up and held Mang Buzhi: "Da Zhuan, are you okay?" Lie down. ”

Mang Buzhi gasped and asked, "How many men and horses are coming from the Tang Army?" ”

How many people there are in the Tang army, Kocha doesn't know, he has to truthfully put in the past two days, a total of three tribes have been attacked, and now with the Samba tribe, there are already four tribes attacked, and the casualties have exceeded 2,000 people. One by one, it has always been reckless.

"In a big way, the Tang army was very cruel, except for the old people, even the women and children were all killed by them. They also poisoned some water sources and poisoned a large number of cattle and sheep......"

Hearing these news, Mang Buzhi's head couldn't help buzzing, and he said angrily: "Why don't you send troops to pursue? Rubbish! I haven't even figured out how many men and horses the Tang Army is attacking, it's really a waste! ”

It's no wonder that Mangbuzhi is so angry, and now the enemy has killed him right under his nose. He didn't even know how many men and horses there were in the Tang Army, but Qiu Cha thought that he couldn't blame himself for this, but only the enemy was too cunning.

"Big talk. What now? ”

"What to do? The general's 50,000-strong army came out of Chiling, and unless the general was defeated, the enemy's army would definitely not be able to pass. It must have been only a small force of the Tang Army, and now the soldiers and horses of the nearby departments have gone out with the general. The defense is empty, and you must immediately send troops ........."

Speaking of which. The sick Mangbu couldn't catch it in one breath, and his throat made a ho-ho sound, as if he was about to die immediately.

"Big talk! How are you? Qiu Cha hurriedly went up to support Mang Buzhi and patted him on the back hard.

"Poof!" Manbuzhi spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and began to gasp for breath, and after a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Cha brought another bowl of water and let Mang Buzhi drink it, Mang Bu Zhi drank the water and took a few long breaths before he continued: "Qiu Cha, now that my rear defense is empty, I can only count on you now, you must immediately send troops to annihilate this Tang army, otherwise all departments may be destroyed in one fell swoop, if the news spreads through Chiling, this will affect the general's military morale and morale, maybe it will cause the general to be defeated this time, really at that time, the consequences are unimaginable!" Therefore, you must exterminate this Tang army as soon as possible! As soon as possible! ”

Qiu Cha knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will do my best to exterminate this Tang army." ”

After Qiu Cha finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but Mang Buzhi said to him a little uneasy, and added: "Qiu Cha, there is one more thing, hurry up and send a messenger to ask for help!" ”

"Yes, big talk!"

When Qiu Cha went out, Mang Buzhi scolded in the house again: "Waste! ”

Since receiving the news yesterday evening, Qiu Cha has not reacted at all, Mang Buzhi did not die of illness, but he was almost angry with him, his face was flushed, and the doctor hurriedly came to serve him to take medicine.

Kocha did not dare to stay any longer, and hurried back to his tooth tent;

He summoned a few centurions and ordered: "Quickly pass my order, and all the scouts will be dispatched to reconnoiter the enemy's whereabouts, Bach!" Bach! You take a hundred men and horses to stay behind, Danba, you gather the rest of the men and horses, and follow me in pursuit of the damned Tang army. ”

The centurions under Qiu Cha received their orders one after another and rushed out.

Danba quickly gathered 400 Tibetan cavalry, followed Qiucha out of the south gate of Fuqi City, and galloped along the north bank of the Buha River towards Baiyanggou.

Tubo practiced a military tribal alliance system, dividing the tribes into two classes, "Gui" and "Yong", with "Gui" having a higher status and being the main force of the army. "Yong" is engaged in agricultural and animal husbandry production, pays taxes, its status is low, belongs to the lower class of commoners and slaves, the eighteen spheres of influence is the military unit of the division of the princes such as Zampu and the ministers, and the tribe is the unit group to go out in battle.

In terms of army structure, a pattern of five ru (equivalent to five military regions), 61 dongdai (each dongdai has about 10,000 troops), 18 regional spheres of influence, and three armies on the border have been formed.

The supreme commander of the army is Zampu, and the supreme commander of "Ru" is usually held by ministers, under whom there are Ruben, Daiben, Qianzong, Xiaoqianzong, 500 chiefs, centurions, officers, etc.

"Ruben" refers to the five ru (except Sun Boru) each ru is divided into upper and lower ru divisions, forming ten ru departments plus Sun Boru, a total of eleven ru officers.

"Qianzong" refers to the sixty-one officers of Dongdai;

"Daiben" refers to the officers of the three major border armies, that is, the Yongwu Army.

Xiao Qian is always because the army has less than 1,000 officers.

This time, Ruben Gadar was ordered to lead 50,000 troops out of the Sun Moon Mountain (Tubo called Chiling the Sun Moon Mountain) to attack Shanzhou, and Qiu Cha was designated to stay in the city of Fu Qi, and was secretly sad.

I didn't want the Tang army to come to attack in this situation, which caught Qiu Cha a little off guard. At present, most of the troops in the area of Dafeichuan have been requisitioned and transferred by Ruben Gadar, and the troops are very empty;

In some tribes, there are even some old and weak women and children left, and once they are attacked by the Tang army, they do not even have the ability to resist. Thinking of this, Qiu Cha was anxious, and while he pursued the incoming Tang army, he sent messengers to ask for help.

galloped for more than 20 miles, hurried to Baiyang Gully, leaving only the corpses all over the ground, as well as the destroyed tents, and the corpses of cattle and sheep. The blood stains on the ground had dried up and turned a large dark red in the sunlight; Mosquitoes and flies have gathered, and there are already vultures in the sky......

Listening to the seeping noise of the vultures and the inexhaustible mosquitoes and flies, Qiu Cha couldn't help but scold, and at the same time shouted: "Quickly track down the enemy's whereabouts, and immediately track it out!" ”

The detectives of the Tubo people took Baiyanggou as the center and galloped in all directions.

Half an hour later, a detective brought back a Tibetan woman, this woman had been played with by the Tang army, and because she was good-looking, he took her on the horse and prepared to take her away. When she reached a slope, she desperately rolled from her horse to the bottom of the slope before escaping.

According to the information provided by this woman, the Tang army, which had slaughtered the Samba Division, fled eastward.

"Chase!" After gaining the direction of the Tang army, the furious Qiucha immediately chased east with four hundred men and horses.

As everyone knows, that woman was just a trick by Li Angshi, the purpose of which was to lead the pursuers to the east.

At this moment, Li Ang was leading nearly three hundred men and horses, divided into three groups, and quickly rushed westward. The more than 200 people were all slaves who were rescued after defeating the Tibetan tribe.

These slaves were mainly Tang people, but there were also some people from other tribes, all of whom were young and strong, and some even had good riding and archery skills.

Whether it was the Tang people or other tribes, before Tou Cheng came, Li Ang would give them a knife and let them slaughter the Tubo people, which was considered a name for acceptance.

With the vote, Li Ang was not afraid that they would turn against him, and in this way, his people and horses were like snowballs, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
