Tubo is mainly nomadic, there are not many cities, the west side of Qinghai Lake, located in the lower reaches of the Buha River, was originally the king city of Tuyuhun, after Tuyuhun was annexed by Tubo, Fuqi City became the most important city of Tubo in the area of Dafeichuan.

Because the city was built in the grassland with fertile water and grass, and is located on an important trade route, it has always been very prosperous, and there are more than 20,000 residents in the city, most of whom are engaged in business, and are very wealthy.

In order to protect this important town, the Tibetans stationed 2,000 elite cavalry. This is rare, because most of the Tibetan tribes do not have standing armies, and everyone plows the fields and grazes in peacetime, and gathers the young and strong soldiers in the tribe when they go to war, which can minimize the cost of raising soldiers.

Two thousand elite cavalry is enough to fight a medium-sized war, and it is not unimportant to garrison a city.

But now, Li Ang and they have caught up with the good time, most of the elite soldiers in Fu Qi City have been transferred to attack Longyou, and there are five hundred defenders left, and four hundred have been lured out by Li Ang, which makes Fu Qi City like a naked noblewoman, waiting for Li Ang and them to ravage.

Li Ang carefully selected the time, and when the sun went down and the faint curtain fell, he took more than 400 of his men, plus more than 2,000 other horses, to make a big noise.

Everyone roared and rushed to the city, and nearly 10,000 iron hooves bombarded the earth, making the head of the city tremble. Because of the hazy twilight, the remaining guards in the city only heard the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and they couldn't see whether there was anyone on the horse, and they thought that one or two thousand Tang troops were coming, so they were so frightened that they closed the city gate and did not dare to fight.

Li Ang rode on his horse and shouted loudly: "Nie Feng, Li Qi! ”

"Subordinates listen to orders!"

"Command two of you, each with fifty men. and each led three hundred horses and galloped around the city. Make a big noise and make a posture of finding a gap to attack the city. I expect a messenger to be sent out of the city soon to ask for help. Remember, you don't have to kill! ”

"Whoa!"

Although Nie Feng and Li Qiyi couldn't figure out why Li Ang ordered not to rob and kill the messenger, they still didn't have a word of objection and did as ordered.

These days, Li Ang used his troops erratically, making the Tubo people dizzy, and in three days, he broke five Tibetan troops in a row, and Li Ang's prestige also reached its peak, and everyone no longer doubted his orders.

Nie Feng and Li Qi quickly gathered their men. One left and one right galloped around the city and howled. In the city, only the centurion Bach led the remaining 100 men and horses, scattered on several gates, and several walls were basically undefended.

Nie Feng and Li Qi galloped around the city like this, and Bach was worried that the Tang army would attack from the city wall, so he could only order some soldiers to follow the Tang army regiment outside the city along the city wall, exhausted.

The people in the city were panicked, and the sick Tubo Da Mangbu Zhi was also alarmed, and dragged the sick body up to the city to check it. But seeing the fires outside the city, the people roaring and the horses neighing, and the hooves sounding like thunder, it was all right. I'm afraid there won't be two or three thousand people.

Mang Buzhi's breathing could not help but become short, he had told Qiu Cha that there was a 50,000-strong army of the great general Dazarugon on the front line. The Tang army must have attacked only a small group of people, because it is inferred by common sense. If the Tang army attacked in a big way, it would be impossible to hide it from Dazarugon.

But now it seems. I actually miscalculated, how could such a big momentum outside the city be made by a hundred or dozens of people!

As soon as Mang Buzhi asked, there were only a hundred defenders left in the city, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. The walls of Fu Qi are made of gravel, sand and soil, and are only one and a half feet high.

When the enemy set up a ladder and attacked the city on a large scale, how could the 100 defenders in the city hold it?

Mangbuzhi hurriedly asked people to pass on the centurion Bach, and after a while, Bach ran from the city wall panting, and Mangbuzhi couldn't wait to say: "Bach, have you sent someone out of the city to ask for help?" ”

Bach hurriedly replied: "Return...... If you go back to Da Lun, I have already sent a messenger, but now I don't know where General Qiu Cha is, I don't know when I will be able to return to help, Da Lun, what should we do now, the enemy has at least two or three thousand men and horses, and it seems that he is preparing for a siege outside the city..."

Mang Buzhi instructed: "You have to defend to the death, no matter what, you can't let the Tang army attack the city, I will immediately go back to the city to recruit young people and come up to defend the city together." ”

Without waiting for Bach to reply, Manbuzhi went down to the city with the help of several attendants.

Outside the city, Li Ang and them, except for Nie Feng and Li Qi who each took 50 people to gallop around the city, and divided 20 people to tie up cloud ladders and other siege equipment, the remaining 316 people were all gathered by Li Ang and quietly went to the shallow beach in the upper reaches of the Shangbuha River.

The night is blurry, the cold moon is like a hook, and the howling northwest wind blows across the grassland, blowing people's clothes and flying wildly. The shallow water beach is less than ten miles away from the city of Fuqi, as the name suggests, the river here is relatively wide, the water is relatively shallow, and it is the only place where the Buha River can be ridden and waded through the area near the city of Fuqi.

As soon as he arrived here, Li Ang immediately ordered: "Wang Guangguang, you take two hundred people to dig traps on the river disaster, and you must move quickly!" ”

King Shichang Guangguang immediately responded with his fists in response, and then led people to dig traps.

"Lin Dayu, you take the rest of the people to drive wooden stakes on both sides of the trap and arrange the horse rope in the shallow water, go quickly!"

"Whoa!"

According to Leon's order, everyone began to get busy, and there were dark shadows on the river beach, and the willow branches with the thickness of an arm were deeply driven into the water, and then tied with the tripping horse red ten ropes. Especially on the left and right sides of the river beach, not only were there a lot of tripwires, but also a lot of barbs were laid to prevent the enemy from escaping on both sides.

The sand on the beach was so soft that it was easy to dig up the traps, and two hundred men dug them desperately and as fast as they could, and in only half an hour the beach was full of traps and nailed with wooden thorns.

After everything was done, Li Ang personally went to inspect it, and then instructed the king of Shichang, Guangguang: "Guangguang, you take fifty men and horses to the opposite bank to ambush, and when the enemy crosses the river and reaches the center of the river, then light a fire and sound the gong, create a momentum, and force the enemy to rush desperately to the river beach, understand?" ”

"Yes!"

After Wang Guangguang led fifty men across the river, Li Ang and the rest of the men and horses also hid here, waiting quietly. The river beach has returned to calm, silent, the faint hook moon is cold, the starry sky on the plateau is particularly clear, but unfortunately the howling night wind is always like a ghost crying.

The waiting time is always the hardest!

Hua Qiu, who was lying beside Li Ang, couldn't help but whisper: "I finally figured it out now, you insisted on attacking the Baiyanggou Samba Division, which was only twenty miles away from Fuqi City, in spite of everyone's dissuasion, yesterday, in order to lure Qiu Cha out." It turns out that before that, you were planning to attack the city. ”

Li Ang looked at the starlight in the sky and replied casually, "You're not too stupid, you finally figured it out." ”

Hua Qiu listened, turned his face and snorted softly, "Don't be proud, this is just a small skill of carving insects." ”

"Whether it's a terror strategy or a small skill of carving insects, it is a good strategy to achieve the goal and defeat the enemy. Besides, you're only now aware of my decision to attack the Samba, which means you don't even know how to carve insects, and you're still. ”

Hua Qiu took out the water bladder and drank a sip of water, hehe chuckled: "You better not be complacent first, it's been half the night, everyone is tired and half dead, if Qiu Cha doesn't come, then the game will be over." ”

"If it weren't for the face of Hua Lao and Little Sister, I would have beheaded you with your nonsense that messed with my army's heart." Li Ang sighed secretly, why didn't this guy pick up his father at all, with a character like Hua Lao, how could he give birth to such a son, could it be that Aunt Hua was out of the wall when she was young.

Thinking of this, Li Ang hurriedly stopped, Amitabha, Aunt Hua's roar even Old Man Hua couldn't stand it.

Hua Qiu snorted and said, "Don't mention my Aya to me, by the way, have you bullied my little sister, you answer honestly!" ”

"Do you need to ask? My little sister is so cute, when I'm at home, if I don't bully one day, I won't feel comfortable......."

"You!"

"You! Look at you, the brother, the little sister drills the mulberry forest at home every day and picks mulberry leaves, you should be that fun, right? It's like a steamer in the mulberry forest, the little sister comes back with sweat every day, and you have to take care of your mother who is about to cry blind, if you are a big brother, if you are a little promising, is the little sister so hard? ”

"I ........."

"Nothing to say, right? If you can save your life and return to Longyou this time, if you don't write a letter to go home to report safety, I will split you! ”

"My mother, she .........."

"Don't ask me!" Leon interrupted him and said, "If you want to know, write back and ask." ”

When the two of them said this, they heard the faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and everyone held their breath all at once, and after waiting for so long, they finally came. I only heard the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and louder, approaching like thunder in the howling night wind.

Li Ang commanded: "The enemy is coming to the Ghost Gate, everyone prepare weapons and give them a ride." After cleaning up the Qiucha group, we will return to Fuqi City. There are gold and silver treasures in the city, and there are delicate beauties! At that time, you can take it, you can play! ”“

Speaking of this, Li Ang pulled out his horizontal knife and roared coldly: "Everyone listen, if anyone retreats a step later, Lao Tzu will not show mercy under the knife!" ”

Although many traps have been laid, the four hundred cavalry of Qiucha are the elite of Tubo after all, and Li Ang's subordinates are all rabble except for fifty Tang cavalry.

The sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the Buha River was getting closer and closer, and when they reached the river, they could already hear the roar of the enemy, who spoke in the Tibetan dialect, which Li Ang could not understand, but he gave the order to cross the river quickly.

In the blurry moonlight, I saw the river roaring and neighing at people, and soon there was a sound of rushing water in the river, and the enemy began to cross the river, and at this moment, even Li Ang's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Four hundred Tibetan elite horsemen, if this ambush does not achieve the effect he hopes, next, I am afraid that he will have to face the enemy and chase him with his life.

The sound of the water became louder and louder, and the enemy brigade crossed to the middle of the river, and at this moment, a large area of fire was lit up on the opposite bank, and the sound of gongs and drums shouted to kill, and the Tibetan cavalry who were crossing the river could not help but shout in panic......
