Although Zama Chili had just crossed the river, he sensed that something was wrong and ordered his army of 20,000 to stop and wait for the reconnaissance cavalry to further confirm the situation ahead.

But his cautious actions not only failed to save his 20,000 troops, but instead put them in a desperate situation.

If he kills the past in one go, it will be difficult for the Tang army to quickly complete the encirclement.

His pause gave Feng Changqing plenty of time to close the door.

By noon, the situation reported from the front was getting more and more wrong, and Zama Chili felt that he had been fooled, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army. Originally, they were going to chase the enemy, but they suddenly retreated, and the 20,000 Tibetan army could not help but be a little suspicious and became nervous, which was a very big blow to morale.

As soon as they retreated to the city of Da Momen, the rumbling war drums suddenly sounded on the north bank of the Camel Bridge, and countless flags were planted on the north bank of the Yellow River, blocking the retreat of the Tubo people.

The fire in the city of Da Momen has not been completely extinguished, and the smoke is filled, and being in such an environment makes people even more uneasy. The city of Da Momen is not big, sandwiched between two mountains, the east and west sides of the whole city are cliffs, difficult to climb, and the north of the city is the Yellow River. Once the north and south sides are blocked, the people in the city will have to wait for death.

In the past, there was only a camel bridge in the north to connect the two banks of the Yellow River, but now the ice on the river has not melted, and it seems that it is not easy to stop the 20,000 Tibetans.

However, the Tang army in the north was in a big situation, and the gongs and drums were noisy, and Zama Chili, who couldn't figure out the situation for a while, did not dare to kill rashly, and out of caution, he once again ordered someone to investigate the situation on the north bank of the river before he could decide.

Cautious, cautious, Zama Chili will inevitably die in the end on his prudence.

At this moment, under Feng Changqing's order, thousands of Tang soldiers rushed to the ice on the river with firewood and grass, lined up the firewood and grass, and then quickly ignited it.

Seeing this scene, the Tubo soldiers on the south bank were terrified and shouted one after another, the situation could not be more obvious, Tang was going to burn the ice on the river with fire, cutting off their way back.

Bad news came one after another, in the south of the city, more than 10,000 Tang troops were killed, deployed at the mountain pass, and put the 20,000 Tubo army in the mountain valley where the Great Momen City was located.

Looking at the Da Momen City, which was still in the flames, Zama Chili finally understood that this was the cemetery carefully prepared by the Tang army for his 20,000 troops, and if he didn't retreat, he might be able to give it a go with the Tang army living in the southern mountain pass; If he retreats to Da Momen City, ignores the sound of gongs and drums on the opposite side, and crosses the river directly from the ice, he may be able to compete with the Tang army on the north side of the river........

It's a pity that there is no if, with the fire burning on the ice, who would dare to rush over from the ice at this time? And a bridge, which could only hold two horses in parallel, became their only hope of retreating.

"Rush over! Rush over! Zama Chili drew his sword and yelled.

Hundreds of Tibetan people got off their horses, held shields, and rushed onto the camel bridge, perhaps, this bridge should be renamed Nai He Bridge, like the Tubo people in the urn, desperately rushing up. On the other side of the bridge, the Tang army waited for a long time, and rows of strong crossbowmen lined up along the north bank, and cold crossbow arrows pointed at the bridge deck.

The Tubo people kept howling, cheering themselves up, their shields were stacked on top of each other, protecting themselves, and when they rushed halfway, the Tang army at the north bridgehead suddenly split, revealing two bed crossbows, the crossbow arrows on the bed crossbow were more than a foot long, and the arms were thick, only to see two wrestlers shouting, and the sledgehammer they were holding smashed down, bah! Bang! Two giant crossbow arrows flew out, whistling towards the Tubo people on the bridge, this kind of crossbow arrows are amazing, enough to shoot through the masonry, how can the shields held by the Tubo people withstand it, in an instant the two crossbow arrows pierced through the shields, pierced through the bodies of the Tubo people, the blood in the huge blood hole spurted wildly, and a terrible howl came, which made people frightened.

The Tubo people on the bridge were in chaos, and the Tang army on the north bank was waiting for this moment, hundreds of bows and crossbows were shot out at the same time, and the arrows were like a storm, shooting the Tubo people crowded on the bridge like a hedgehog, and the bubbling blood dyed a large area of the ice under the bridge, scarlet and dazzling.

Zama Chili was a little desperate, such a narrow bridge, no matter how many men and horses were useless, they rushed up in batches, except for sending them to death, it was almost impossible to break through the blockade of the Tang army on the north bank.

At the mouth of the valley in the south, Li Ang was not idle, he had a large number of horse-rejecting piles made by him, arranged in rows, and then began to push inward step by step, compressing the living space of the Tubo people.

Zama Chili sent his general Abach to lead an army of 10,000 to charge the battle, such a valley, only twenty or thirty horsemen in parallel width, the Tang army's horse rejection pile with three rows as a line of defense, behind each line of defense there are pikemen, archers, jumping soldiers.

The iron hooves of the Tubo people rolled in, the whole valley was shaken and trembled, at this moment of life and death, the Tubo people had no way to retreat, forced out a body of blood bravery, rows of cavalry like a torrent in the mountains, rushed towards the Tang army.

The front row of the Tang army retreated ten steps, revealing those rows of horse-rejecting stakes, the rows of horse-rejecting stakes were made of thigh-thick logs, with huge spikes, and the crazy Tubo cavalry rushed over, after seeing these thick horse-rejecting stakes in front, they were terrified, desperately trying to stop the horses, and the cavalry behind did not know why, but they were still rushing forward desperately, and they couldn't stop at all.

The Tang army stood behind the horse rejection pile, rows of crossbows roared out, crossbow arrows were like clouds, covering the sky and the sun, swishing into the formation of the Tubo people, and the war horses, one by one the Tubo people were stung on the ground, and there were many casualties.

The follow-up Tubo cavalry was still rushing wildly, and finally crashed into the rows of huge horse-rejecting piles, and the chests of the war horses were pierced, like roasting whole sheep being pierced on the wooden stakes, and in the billowing smoke and dust, people screamed and neighed, and blood splashed, which was unbearable.

Li Ang stood on a hillside not far from the battle, watching the Tibetan cavalry being blocked in front of the cabinet horse pile under the blow of the arrows that covered the sky, and suffered heavy casualties, he couldn't help but sneer and said to the left and right: "If this can also make the enemy rush over, Lao Tzu will not run away, and will directly become a prisoner of Tubo." ”

Hua Qiu said: "If the enemy can really rush over, you can't run if you want to." ”

Just kidding, Li Ang has prepared five lines of defense, each of which is blocked by a huge horse-rejecting pile, coupled with the perfect combination of soldiers after rejecting the horse-rejecting stake, even if a line of defense is broken, it can still retreat to the first and third lines, and now the Tubo people have suffered so heavy casualties in front of the first line of defense, and the corpses of people and horses are piled up like a wall, and what are you talking about rushing over.

Li Ang said lightly: "If we can't stop the enemy army in such a narrow road, we really don't even have a chance to escape, so we can only advance, not retreat!" Let's just frustrate the spirit of the Tubo people first. ”

Prince Tuyuhun said with admiration: "The Marquis of Yunyang is like a god with soldiers, and when Zama Chili meets the Marquis of Yunyang, there is only one way to die." It is my great blessing to be able to follow the Marquis of Yunyang to fight, and in the future, the Marquis of Yunyang will have a life, and Tuyuhun will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up. ”

If Kachin had some other thoughts in his heart before, he really didn't dare to spend time now, he only hoped that this time he would follow Li Ang to conquer Tubo, and he could get more loot for Tuyuhun.

Li Ang naturally did not forget to praise him a few words to appease him.

The war continued, 20,000 Tibetan men and horses were killed because of a "Nai He Bridge" in the north of Da Momen City, and the valley in the south was not wide, and it was difficult to break through Li Ang's blockade.

As the number of dead and wounded became more and more heavy, the morale of Tibet became more and more low, and it could even be described as desperate. The undying Zama Chili sent someone to inspect the ice, and confirmed that the ice had been melted by the fire and was several feet wide, and it was impossible to pass again.

Zama Chili knew that continuing the assault would only increase casualties in vain, so he decided to abandon the assault and hold on to reinforcements.

With the terrain on the north and south sides, the Tubo people could not rush out, but it was not easy for the Tang army to kill them.

If Li Ang had thought of it earlier, Zama Chili would have been determined to wait for help, and he would really not be able to help him for a while, although Zama Chili didn't bring much grain and grass, and the city of Da Momen was also burned down in the fire, but his 20,000 horses were mainly cavalry, even if he killed horses to satisfy hunger, he could last for a month.

And if he really wants to attack hard, Li Ang's more than 20,000 people will probably have to pay very heavy casualties. Therefore, he was not prepared to attack at the beginning, so after a day of stalemate with Zama Chili, Li Ang left 2,000 men and horses at the valley mouth in the south, and only 2,000 men and horses at the bridgehead in the north, and refused to continue to besiege Zama Chili, while the rest of the army quietly withdrew by night, crossed the river from the ice through Hongliutan, and quickly killed in the direction of Moliyi.

Fast, must be fast, although the two horses and horses were trapped, but the scouts he scattered before the war inevitably slipped through the net, and the news here will not be blocked for long, and I am afraid that it will soon be transferred to the stone fort.

Therefore, at this time, the only way to advance quickly, before receiving the news, recapture Mo Liyi, gather with the men and horses in the direction of Dafeichuan, and complete the encirclement of the main force of the ruler with Zhudan.

In the direction of Dafeichuan, Cao Yan, An Daoyuan, Li Chongzan and others originally fled from the wind, but in fact they were gathering in another way, and according to the agreement, they must now kill Mo Liyi desperately and join Li Ang behind enemy lines.

On the reckless Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, thousands of horses galloped, the night was boundless, the cold wind was howling, and more than 20,000 Tang troops galloped across the undulating grasslands despite the severe cold. (To be continued.) )
