After half a ring, Alu Andai pulled Gao Zunfu After a long time of blending, he finally reached a dirty, uh, no, it should be a happy agreement.

According to the contents of this secret agreement, Talu Andai would collect 5,000 war horses from the alliance and exchange them with the Song Dynasty for 5,000 repeaters, each of which would be accompanied by 100 arrows. In addition, the Dousi Mabu also exchanged 10,000 horses for the same amount of Song army-standard equipment. However, the Talu Andai also had to make concessions, not to prevent the other small tribes from trading with the Song Dynasty, and in return, the Song Dynasty had to raise the price a little when it was easier with them.

After a month of tossing, Gao Zunfu and others finally successfully completed the task assigned by the saint and brought back 5,000 war horses and more than 20,000 horses for the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the Tusima tribe and the small tribes that vassal it had harvested a lot of weapons and equipment, and with the previous accumulation, they finally formed 5,000 crossbow cavalry and nearly 100,000 light cavalry. In addition to the relatively single type of troops, it can be said that the Tusima Alliance has become an armed force that cannot be ignored in the territory of Tibet.

It is said that in the past, Li Yuanhao's character was impossible to leave so much time for Tusi Mabu to gather troops, but he really didn't defeat Tusi Mabu in one go this time. Since he had just arrived at the territory of Tuo Sima, he fought with others and drove away the first wave of counterattack by Tuo Sima, so he stationed his troops on the spot, and even transferred infantry to carry out engineering construction with the people. It seems that this time he wants to stay on his laurels.

Li Yuanhao took advantage of the time to rest, it was rare that he did not drink and appreciate the beauty, but instead looked at the book, looking at his frowning appearance, it was estimated that he had encountered a little trouble. At this time, Wang Qiu walked in from the outside alone.

"Subordinates, see the king!"

Li Yuanhao: "Yo, the military advisor is back!" How's it going? ”

Wang Qiu: "Back to the king, my subordinates have found some reliable people and let them go to the Liao State and the Song State to carry out activities, as for the effect, it depends on their ability, no matter what, it is good to be able to cause them some trouble." ”

Li Yuanhao: "Then there is a military division, you have worked hard all the way, if you have nothing to do, go down and rest first, there are still many things that need to be handled by the military division!" ”

Wang Qiu: "Thank you for your concern, my subordinates are young and strong, and it's nothing to rush this way!" The subordinates want to do more for the king! By the way, my lord, when my subordinates came in just now, they saw you frowning, did you encounter any trouble? Can you tell me about the next two subordinates? ”

Li Yuanhao slapped his thigh: "Why didn't this king think of it!" Come on, the military advisor will come and show this king, this "Sun Wu Art of War" is the king took a lot of effort to get it, the content inside is really broad and profound, and there are many places that the king can't understand, the military advisor came to tell the king! ”

"Yes, King!" Wang Qiu began to carefully explain the content to Li Yuanhao, and it was not an easy job to take care of other people's mood and comprehension.

finally explained all the doubts, and this time it was Wang Qiu's turn to ask Li Yuanhao his question: "Wang, your subordinates saw you building a city outside, why are you?" With your subordinates, your advantage lies in the invincible cavalry, and won't this city tie our hands and feet? ”

"Hahaha...... What the military advisor said is not bad, even this king does not like the Song people's method of building cities and defending them, and this king prefers to attack thousands of miles a day and return with a full load. It's a pity, there is something strange about this Tibetan territory, our people will be weak for a period of time when they come here, even if they slow down, they can't catch up with this native Tubo people, not only people, but also horses.

In the past, this king also beat their idea once, but they didn't check it for a while, and they suffered a small loss. This time, in order to achieve our strategic goal, this king not only wants to defeat them, but also to gain a foothold here, for this reason, this king not only wants to build his own city, but also contacts the Wusi tribe to attack on both sides, and it is bound to uproot this Desi Mabu. ”

"The king is wise!" Wang Qiu heard Li Yuanhao say this, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration, he didn't expect that he gambled casually, and it seemed that he was right, not only did he have superior personal strength, but he was not stupid!

Li Yuanhao: "The military advisor also thinks that the king's plan is feasible?" ”

Wang Qiu: "Back to the king, your plan is really good, your subordinates think it is good for you to do this, Tubo is just a wasteland, how can it be compared to the Central Plains with rich products." The ultimate goal of the king is to chase the Central Plains, and these barren lands are still left to these natives to play by themselves, as long as we can prune and prune the leaves of the Song Kingdom and weaken its strength, this is enough. ”

Li Yuanhao said with a smile: "Hahaha, the military advisor coincides with what this king thinks!" Later, there are more Han people to build a city for us, and the defense of this earthen city will be handed over to the military division, and this king will leave you 50,000 infantry, what do you think are the requirements? ”

Wang Qiu: "King, your subordinates will defend a city, you don't need so many soldiers!" We only brought 100,000 soldiers this time, and you left 50,000 for your subordinates, so that you will have fewer soldiers to attack? ”

Li Yuanhao waved his hand: "It's okay!" This time the king led 50,000 cavalry is enough! This king only needs these 50,000 cavalry to kill this piece of armor, not to mention that the Wusi tribe also promised to send 50,000 troops to respond, so the military division does not need to worry! ”

Wang Qiu: "That's good! With these 100,000 troops, presumably this small tribe of Tuosima will never be able to resist it. I don't know, when will the king set off? ”

"Tomorrow!"

"I wish the king success!"

"Hahaha......" The two looked at each other and smiled.

The news of the enemy's attack soon reached the hands of Talu Andy, and he gathered the relevant personnel to discuss for a while, and soon came up with a countermeasure. Faced with the crisis of this two-way attack, Talu Andai had to split up to meet it. Considering the distribution of the enemy's troops, he also divided the 100,000 troops gathered under his command into two routes, and he took his own well-equipped 50,000 cavalry and 5,000 crossbow cavalry who had just formed a company to meet Li Yuanhao's troops. The Wusi tribe was handed over to his cronies to take the remaining 50,000 horses to intercept, not to defeat them, but at least to hold them off, once Li Yuanhao's troops were driven away, they would exterminate the Wusi tribe.

After everything was planned, Talu Andai set off separately with his people, and Gao Zunfu and others, who were named "Great Song Military Observation Group", were also caught in Talu Anday's guards and participated in the battle.

On the plateau, galloping horses and traveling thousands of miles a day, the four armies soon met in this vast land, and before they could do anything, they stirred up endless sparks......

Alu Andai took 50,000 people, and Li Yuanhao's 50,000 people, five miles away, stood against each other, all looking at each other with murderous intent, just waiting for the boss to give an order and run over to kill the other party, compared to it, Li Yuanhao's fighting spirit is much higher.

Li Yuanhao didn't think much about it, looked at the other party contemptuously, and still according to his previous experience, he sent his own heavy cavalry regiment, divided into ten teams to rush in unison, and rushed towards the other party with lightning speed. The other troops were also slowly advancing, and when the heavy cavalry rushed through the formation, the other troops were also crushed by the other troops, followed by the regular program - harvesting heads.

The situation was not beyond Li Yuanhao's expectations, well, he can't say that, there is one thing he still expected wrong. The Tubo people in front of them are not yet able to be carried by the Song people, their own troops are still two miles away from them, and the other party actually turned around and ran, and they ran all over the map, so that their heavy cavalry didn't know who to pursue, what a disappointment!

However, after only a while, Li Yuanhao found that the situation seemed to be a little different from what he thought. The group of guts in front of him, although they ran very scattered, but they were not chaotic when they looked closely, no matter how anxious they ran, they were also piles of people. The most critical problem is that as long as you stop pursuing, the other party will get together again, chase this Nima and run away. Could it be that these Tibetans have some kind of ambush? But in this endless wilderness, where is their ambush?

After half a day of chasing and catching up, Li Yuanhao finally determined one thing, the group of Tubo boys on the opposite side did not engage in any ambush, but they played themselves under their noses, which clearly consumed the physical strength of their heavy cavalry!

Sure enough, by the afternoon, Tubo's escape had slowed down a lot. And from time to time, hundreds of bold guys actually rushed in front of Li Yuanhao's troops and shot them in the face.

This attack is tantamount to tickling for Li Yuanhao's troops, although it should be a problem with equipment, Li Yuanhao's troops are basically equipped with scimitars, and they have no long-range attack ability, so they can't effectively fight back. But the harassment of Tibet did not cause any harm to himself, and his heavy cavalry was still chasing Huanhuan, and no one fell. Since people like to play, then play with them and keep chasing!

"The king ordered the crossbow cavalry to abandon the attack on the enemy's heavy cavalry and instead attack the enemy's other light cavalry units, and let all the soldiers slowly move closer and prepare to counterattack!" Talu Andy, who was fleeing, quietly completed two attacks with the crossbow cavalry regiment under his command, and after the opponent's heavy cavalry had about three layers of soldiers inserted several arrows, he issued this brainless order.

"Yes, King!"

With the departure of the heralds, the Tibetan troops slowly changed, and those crossbow cavalry regiments began to divide into two groups, went around to the side of Li Yuanhao's headquarters, and swung arrows at them as much as they could. The remaining troops of Tubo were also slowly concentrating, and made a big bend to aim the scimitar at Li Yuanhao's department.

Seeing that the other party began to retract the formation, Li Yuanhao also retracted his own troops, and slowed down the pace to adjust the confrontation formation

"Order the Heavy Cavalry Regiment to charge and crush those cowards!" Li Yuanhao saw that the other party actually dared to stop and confront him, and he happily ordered his subordinates.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The herald quickly pulled out the herald flag and waved it desperately.

However, after a long while, seeing that the enemy's large army was only two miles away from him, he had already entered the stage of preparing for the charge. Only then did Li Yuanhao find that his heavy cavalry regiment was still lifeless, and he did not gallop as before.

"What's going on?" Li Yuanhao looked around, but no one could answer.

At this time, a commotion came, and a guy in heavy armor rushed in front of Li Yuanhao: "Your Highness, it's not good!" Our heavy cavalry has suffered heavy losses and will not be able to organize an effective attack in a short time, please instruct Your Highness! ”

Although Li Yuanhao was very angry about this issue, after all, he was a person who had experienced many wars and knew that this was not the time to lose his temper. At this critical juncture, after a moment's thought, he ordered the heavy cavalry to return at once, while he himself took the remaining light cavalry to cover.

Li Yuanhao's subordinates were suddenly affected by this accident, and they did not panic, but under the leadership of their own generals, they launched an effective blockade against the Tubo troops. And the Tubo troops found that their attack was not as smooth as they imagined, and the enemy was much more tenacious than they imagined, if it weren't for the 5,000 crossbow cavalry who came to the rescue everywhere, it would have turned the tables on the family, even so, in the end, they could only watch Li Yuanhao's troops retreat calmly.

The first test of the second confrontation between Lu Andai and Li Yuanhao ended hastily, although the enemy was repulsed, and the threat of the opponent's ace troops was temporarily resolved. But Alu Andai also truly understands that there are still many differences between his own troops who have not experienced any wars and the troops that have been tempered by others.

One side is unwilling to give up in order to achieve its own goals, and the other side has to fight hard even in the face of a murderous enemy for its own survival. As a result, wars are still intertwined on this plateau......
