A snowstorm that had not been seen in decades suddenly hit the Qinghai region, and the Chiling wind roared, swept the land with snow flakes, swept away the gravel and grass roots, and hit the mountains overwhelmingly.

In the blizzard, the attack on Shibao City was forced to be interrupted, and almost half of the more than 2,000 Tang troops were swept down the valley by the blizzard.

The wind shook the tent, a few candles were bright and dim, the light was faint, Ge Shuhan sat in the tent for a long time, he slowly stood up and walked to the tent door, staring blankly at the gray world,

The results of a few days were swept away by this blizzard, and after the snow stopped, he had to start again, but none of these were important, the important thing was that the reinforcements from Tubo had been a whole day and a night, how long could Li Qingan be able to support it?

At this moment, a messenger ran with difficulty in the strong wind, and said in a trembling voice: "Dashuai, the latest information on the northern front." ”

"Ahh Tell me quickly, is Dong Yanguang still holding back the main force of the Tubo army? ”

"Marshal, Dong Yanguang's department didn't go south at all, he and Shuo Fang's army are besieging Shenwei City."

"What!"

Ge Shuhan was furious, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, but several personal soldiers hurriedly supported him, "Handsome! Handsome! ”

Suddenly, Ge Shuhan chuckled twice in his throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he roared, "God kill me!" ”

After a long time, Ge Shuhan finally calmed down, and he waved his hand gently, "Prepare paper and pen, I want to write a recital for the saint." ”

The soldiers laid out the paper, helped Brother Shuhan to sit down, he lifted the pen, his hand trembled violently, and slowly wrote: "Your Majesty, the minister has failed His Majesty's grace and is guilty......

Ge Shuhan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any longer, he let out a long sigh, tears welling up in his eyes.

"If you want me to fight Stone Castle City, why do you want to add Dong Yanguang?"

Suddenly, Li Siye's angry shouts came from the door of the tent, "I want to see the handsome, let me in!" ”

．．．．．．．．．

The blizzard interrupted the attack on Stone Castle City, but the attack on the back mountain Chiling was even more violent than the blizzard, and Dazarugon finally got the command, and the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for several days broke out together, and he still ordered the battle despite the cold of the blizzard.

"Even if you freeze to death, you will freeze to death on the battlefield!"

He roared loudly, put on his armor, and personally supervised the battle, this time, he invested 40,000 troops, and the entire middle section of Chiling had been submerged by the sea of people of the Tubo army, they crawled forward under the raging wind and snow, moving slowly, but the goal was clear.

The sudden appearance of the blizzard brought great difficulties to the defense of the Tang army, not only the sight distance was greatly shortened, but more importantly, the weapons on which the Tang army depended, the power of the bow and arrow in the blizzard will be greatly reduced, and the situation of the Tang army has become extremely serious.

"Light a candle in the tent!" Li Qingan ordered in a low voice.

The soldiers didn't know why, so they hurried to the tent and lit a candle, and a star suddenly appeared in the white snowstorm.

Li Qing'an drew an arrow, gradually drew the bow, and aimed at the tent sixty paces away, the tent had been swallowed up by the wind and snow, and it was completely invisible, only a faint glimmer of starlight.

'Whoosh! With a bang, a powerful arrow shot out and disappeared into the white snow.

"General!" The soldier walked over slowly, holding Li Qing'an's arrow in his hand, and he shook his head slightly.

"How much is it off?"

"Shot at the edge of the tent, five feet off."

Li Qing'an sighed secretly, and at this time, Bai Yuanguang and Li Fei Shouyu hurriedly walked over and said, "Qilang, the situation is quite bad. ”

"What's wrong?"

"We tried it just now, and the gunpowder bag fired by the trebuchet couldn't land on the mountain road at all, and was blown away by the wind."

"What if it's biased?"

"No, the wind is swirling, and you can't control it at all."

Li Qingan nodded and sighed: "I shot an arrow just now, sixty steps, five feet away from the target. ”

Bai Yuanguang and Li Fei Shouyu were stunned, even Li Qing'an's seven-stone hard bow was five feet off, what was the use of ordinary soldiers' bows and arrows? In a blizzard, all ranged weapons are disabled.

The three of them were silent together, and after a moment, Li Qingan said: "The only weapon now is to use a boulder, a boulder the size of a house to roll down, not only can you hurt the enemy, but also block the mountain road, we now have fifteen such boulders in our hands." ”

Suddenly, a soldier shouted urgently: "General, come quickly!" There seems to be movement down there. ”

The three of them walked quickly to the edge of the ravine and lay down, and the Tang army buried three large vats on the edge of the cliff, and they could hear the movement a hundred steps away.

They listened for a moment, and sure enough, they heard a rustling sound, which should have been between thirty and fifty paces.

Li Qing'an looked up and stared downward, he only saw a gray patch, but the Tubo army had already arrived in front of him.

"Shoot the arrows!"

He jumped up and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ”

The Tang army suddenly fired arrows in a chaotic manner, although the power was greatly reduced, but at this time, only bows and arrows could be used to deal with emergencies.

Arrows were like torrential rain and stones were like hailstones, overwhelmingly smashing down the mountain, and a scream suddenly came from the wind and snow, especially on the mountain road in the north, and the scream came from twenty steps away, and the Tubo army was already close at hand.

"Flashing people ahead!"

More than 200 Tang soldiers pushed a huge mountain rock and rolled forward, the boulder was two people high, like a hut, the Tang army on the side of the mountain road dodged to both sides, the Tang army shouted and pushed the boulder down the mountain road, the behemoth roared down from the mountain, rolled in the dense Tubo soldiers, the Tubo army was killed and wounded, and the blood flowed like a river.

But at this time, it was no longer Zampu who commanded the Tibetan army, but Dazarugon, his heart was as hard as iron, and he knew very well that in the blizzard, the weapons of the Tang army could not exert their power, and he must seize this opportunity.

"Rush up, no matter how many people die, give it to me!" He roared hysterically.

A bloody road that Tubo had just been smashed open was immediately closed, the army continued to climb up the mountain, the Tang army's boulders rolled down from the mountain, Tubo was full of corpses, was smashed down, and rushed up again, the explosions rose one after another on the mountain road, the red flames soared, the steel balls burst out, and a large number of Tubo troops wailed and died, but the new enemy army rushed up again, as if the spring water was gushing out endlessly, endlessly.

The Tang army's stones were smashed, the boulders were gone, the only bows and arrows could not exert their power, and the defense line of the Jiangdu camp in Beishan Dao was the first to be broken through by the Tubo army, and hundreds of Tubo troops tore open a big hole and rushed up frantically.

The spears stabbed, the horizontal knives slashed, roared and shouted, the Tang army and the Tubo army fought together, the click of the head being cut off by the knife, and the scream of the spear piercing the chest.

"Lin San, save me!"

One of the legs of Sun Mazi, a native of Runzhou, was cut off, he screamed and fell to the ground, dozens of long knives slashed frantically at him, cutting him into pulp, and a Tibetan centurion raised Sun Mazi's head high and laughed madly.

"Ahh There was another scream, and a young Jiangdu soldier was pierced in the chest by the spear of the Tibetan army and flew high from the mountain.

Lin San's eyes were red, he roared, and slashed the Tubo officer in front of him, suddenly, another burly Tubo army rushed over, knocked him to the ground from behind, the two of them tore on the ground, Lin San turned over, and suddenly pressed the Tubo soldier under him, he turned the horizontal knife, and pierced the horizontal knife through the enemy's chest with all his strength.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, a spear pierced his right shoulder, his eyes were dizzy, and his strength quickly disappeared, at this time, he suddenly thought of his son, and his lady who was preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, the light was so soft, so warm, and the woman's appearance had never been so delicate.

At this time, there was another sharp pain in his stomach, and another spear passed through his back, nailing him to the ground, Lin San's eyes gradually darkened, he smiled miserably, and shouted in a low voice, "My son, lady, take care!" ”

He lay on the ground, two spears nailed him to death, the wind and snow fell, and the corpse gradually became cold.

At this time, the central line was also broken through, more than 3,000 Tubo troops swarmed up, the Tang army fought desperately, and a tragic hand-to-hand battle unfolded on the second line of defense.

At this time, more than 100 Tang soldiers and female guards were carrying the last dozens of wounded soldiers up the mountain, suddenly, more than 200 Tubo troops rushed over, the situation was critical, more than 100 Tang troops turned around to meet the battle, and more than a dozen female guards also drew their swords to participate in the battle.

Li Fei Yuanli, who was lying on the stretcher, bit off the gauze, he picked up the big knife on the stretcher, and yelled, "Fuck you!" ”

He rushed into the enemy group like a mad tiger, killing and slashing, and instantly chopped more than 20 people to death, but he also had a broken wound and was bleeding all over, at this moment, a stray arrow came, hitting his lower abdomen, he had no armor on his body, the arrow actually shot through his stomach, Li Fei Yuanli covered his stomach, staggered back two steps, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Li Fei Yuanli laughed miserably, and said to himself: "Grandma, this time my old Li is really going to die." ”

At this moment, a petite figure ran to his side, "General Lifei, I'll help you go." ”

It was Shi Sanniang, Li Fei Yuanli shook his head and pushed her away, "Sanniang, go quickly!" You can't help me. ”

Shi Sanniang bit her lip tightly, dragged him up, and snuggled up to herself, she suddenly bent over, and her petite body actually carried the seven-foot-tall Lifei Yuanli on her back, and walked towards the mountain step by step with difficulty.

At this moment, more and more Tubo troops poured up the mountain, Li Qing'an led 700 soldiers of the Anxi Army to fight fiercely on the central line, his black bow had been cut off, covered in blood, holding a shield in one hand, wielding a horizontal knife in the other, desperately trying to kill the enemy, the situation was already in danger.

Thirty steps away, Bai Yuanguang and more than 20 soldiers were surrounded by hundreds of Tubo regiments, Bai Yuanguang's left arm was gone, he roared wildly, and slashed in the enemy group with one arm, at this moment, Li Qingan suddenly saw a scene that made his eyes split: Bai Yuanguang's feet slipped and a spear pierced his chest like lightning.

"Lao Bai!"

Li Qing'an roared wildly, desperately rushed towards Bai Yuanguang, the wild surname of the Anxi army was stimulated, and everyone roared angrily, killing the Tubo army to the point of defeat and retreat, and suppressing the Tubo army that rushed to the middle line.

Li Qingan hugged Bai Yuanguang, Bai Yuanguang's eyes were closed, he was already dead, tears poured out of Li Qingan's eyes, the first scorer of the Anxi polo team, actually died on Chiling, he held Bai Yuanguang in his arms, and cried bitterly.

At this time, He Yanming wiped a handful of tears and said, "General, withdraw quickly!" I can't stand it anymore. ”

Li Qingan nodded, and ordered to the left and right: "Everyone retreat!" ”

"Brothers on the northern front, the general has an order, withdraw quickly!"

In the shouts of retreat, the Tang army began to retreat to the mountain, and the southern front was blocked by boulders, and the Tubo army did not rush up much, and most of the Tang army was preserved.

Li Fei Shouyu also heard the order to retreat, and shouted, "Retreat!" “

He led hundreds of Tang troops on the southern front to retreat to the mountain, at this time, Li Qingan suddenly thought of something, he turned around and rushed to the tent in the corner of the cliff, the candles in the tent had burned out, it was pitch black, and he was busy rummaging in a wooden box, "Where?" Where is it? ”

"Found it!"

He found a plate of incense from the wooden box, took out the flint and sickle from his bosom, and his hand trembled, 'Click! Click! After two blows, a flame appeared in his hand, and he turned his back to shield himself from the wind, lit the incense, carefully placed it on the sandbox of the sand table, pulled out a lead and put it in the middle of the incense, and then turned and rushed out of the tent and ran towards the mountain.

After running more than a dozen steps, he suddenly looked back, at this time, the Tubo army had already been overwhelming, the wind was much lighter, and the heavy snow shrouded Chiling.

．．．．．．．．

The Tang army withdrew to the third line of defense, which was also their last line of defense, where the terrain was narrow, just a mountain pass, and then up a mountain ridge, which was the road to Shibao City.

The narrow col was crowded with the Tang army, and after a terrible battle, the Tang army still had 1,500 men, nearly half of whom were wounded, and the heaviest casualties were the Jiangdu battalion, with less than 200 people left.

Li Qing'an sat on a big stone, the female guard team was Zhao Lu was disinfecting and bandaging his wound, Li Qing'an was stabbed in his left arm, cutting a big hole, and the blood had coagulated, only then did he feel the pain of drilling his heart, but the pain of the wound was not as good as the grief in his heart, Bai Yuanguang died, in his memory, Bai Yuanguang should shine in the Anshi Rebellion and become a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, but because of his arrival through time and space, he changed history and changed Bai Yuanguang's fate.

"Shichiro!"

Li Fei Shouyu walked up to Li Qing'an and said in a hoarse voice: "We still have twenty packs of gunpowder, fifty thousand arrows, two trebuchets, and a small amount of grain and water left. ”

"Food and water are reserved for the seriously wounded."

After a pause, Li Qingan asked again, "How is Lao Li?" ”

"He lost so much blood that he passed out, and I don't know if I'll get through it."

Li Qingan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if we can get through it, is there any movement in the Tubo army?" ”

"It seems that there is no sign of an offensive for the time being, they are cleaning up the battlefield."

Li Qingan stood up, twisted his shoulders and smiled: "Let's go!" Look at Lao Li. ”

．．．．．．．．．．

The distance between the third and second lines of defense was only three hundred paces in a straight line, and there were several roads up to it, which finally merged into a small road, and the mountain road was winding and winding, and it was necessary to walk two miles to reach it.

After the Tibetan army occupied the second line of defense, because the wind was greatly weakened and the Tang army's bows and arrows were able to exert their power again, Dazarugon decided to temporarily stop the attack and wait for the wind to turn strong before attacking in a big way.

"General, we found a kind of map of the Tang Army, which is very strange."

A Tibetan centurion pointed to the tent, "It's in the tent of the Tang army." ”

"Oh? Take me to see it. ”

Dazarugon walked quickly to the tent, the tent was empty, only a sand table was placed, Dazarugong walked around the sand table twice, his eyes were full of surprise, the Tang army actually made the terrain around Qinghai with mud, this kind of lifelike map was actually something he had never seen, Dazarugon immediately realized the great military significance of this kind of map, especially for the Tubo region with complex terrain, it is even more useful, it is even no less than the thunderbolt obtained from the hands of the Tang army.

At this time, a Tibetan army came in to report, "General, Zampu ordered you to go down the mountain to report the battle situation." ”

"Good! I'll go. ”

Dazaru Gong waved his hand and ordered: "Carry this map down the mountain as well, be careful, don't break it." ”

Dazaru Gong walked quickly down the mountain, dozens of Tibetan soldiers carried the sand table and carefully followed behind, the sand table was covered with a layer of cloth, covered with a layer of snowflakes, when walking through a steep mountain col, the sand table was almost vertically lifted, at this time, a plate of lit incense slipped out from under the sand table, fell into the crack of the rock, everyone's attention was focused on carrying the sand table, no one found that the incense slipped.

Dozens of Tibetan soldiers carried the sand table and walked away, and the snow gradually covered and extinguished the incense.

．．．．．．．．．

The lights in the king's tent were bright, and the sand table was placed in the center, and Chizu Dezan and dozens of generals were curiously looking at the unique map of the Tang Army.

Successfully won the second front of the Tang army, Chizu Dezan was very relieved, sure enough, he was an experienced veteran, good at taking advantage of the weather, and defeated the Tang army in a battle, he pointed to the Shenwei City on the sand table and smiled: "Have you seen it, it is this Shenwei City that almost deceived us, thinking that the Tang Army is going to fight Dafeichuan." ”

Shang Jiexi next to him blushed, and there was a faint mockery in Zampu's tone, and he shouted: "Zampu, I think that even if the Tang army is to take Shibao City, their next goal is Dafeichuan and the Yellow River Jiuqu. ”

"Of course! But the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the stone castle city must be protected first, and then the Dafei River must be defended.

Sangkook, do you understand? ”

Chizu Dezan complained that Shang Jiexi was not good to stand by, he was afraid that Shang Jiexi would not be able to let go of this face, so he walked to the back, suddenly, he saw the door of the tent, a soldier was waving to him anxiously, he walked out quickly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, look at the beacon fire in Stone Castle City!"

Dazaru Gong looked at Stone Castle City for a moment, he finally saw it clearly, and was immediately surprised, the beacon fire in Stone Castle City was burning again, this was a call for help in an attack, not just now!

Just as Dazarughan walked towards the tent gate, Trizu Dezan suddenly found a strange place on the sand table, there were ten beacon towers on the red ridge, but in fact, there was only one stone castle city.

"Strange, what's going on with these beacons?"

Shang Jiexi stepped forward to take a look and said with a smile: "Zampu, these beacons are estimated to be planned by the Tang Army, and they are connected with Shenwei City, Longju City and the beacon towers in Qinghai, hehe!" The map of the Tang people is really fine, there is still fire oil in the beacon, and there seems to be a line underneath, is it connected to other beacons? ”

As he spoke, he moved a candle and lit the beacon tower in Stone Castle, 'Huh! With a soft sound, the beacon towers on the stone castle city lit up, but surprisingly, all the beacons were smoking.

Shang Jiexi laughed and said, "Sure enough! ”

The Tubo generals next to him suddenly exclaimed, and Chizu Dezan also smiled, he did a really good job, and the general standing next to Chizu Dezan was on Tibetan weeping, and he, like all the generals, was full of praise for this kind of map.

Suddenly, Lunzang Wai smelled an incomparably familiar smell, a smell that he would never forget, the thunderbolt of the Tang Army.

He reacted violently, and pushed Zampu to the ground, and at this moment, the sand table burst out with a red flame, which exploded violently, and the huge impact force blew Shang Jiexi to pieces on the spot, dozens of generals were lifted high into the air, the tent was also overturned, and even Dazarugon, who was standing at the door of the tent, was overturned by a powerful wave of qi.

The earth-shattering explosion stunned the Tibetan army, and when the black smoke disappeared into the air, Dazarugon crawled in like crazy, and the tent was full of mutilated corpses, and he cried out to find Zampu, and suddenly, he found it! Trizu Dezan was covered in blood and fell to the ground.

Dazaru Gong touched Chizu Dezan's heart, as if there was still a little beating, he picked up Zampu and roared desperately: "Zampu! Zamp! Wake up! ”

Chizu Dezan was finally pushed by Zang Zang Weeping, although he suffered extremely serious internal injuries, but after all, he was not killed on the spot, he slowly opened his eyes, and said in an unusually low voice: "Keep Stone Castle City!" ”

After speaking, he fainted again, Dazarugong slowly stood up, looked at the corpses of Tibetan high-ranking officials all over the ground, his teeth were clucking, he suddenly jumped up with both feet, and shouted with all his might: "The army attacked the Tang army, and everyone was crushed and scattered!" ”

．．．．．．．．．．

At this moment, the stone road of Shibao City was already shouting and killing, Li Siye led a thousand heavily armored Mo sword army, climbed the mountain beam of Shibao City against the wind, the Tubo army never thought that the Tang army actually had heavy armored infantry who were not afraid of the blizzard, when they found out, a thousand heavy armor Mo sword army had rushed into the stone road, and the two armies were engaged in the final life-and-death battle in the narrow stone road.

And Li Qing'an also faced the test of life and death, and the 30,000 Tubo army began to attack frantically, and their lives hung by a thread.

．．．．．．．．．．．
