In fact, Yun Yang still made a serious mistake at this time, if he led the First Army to the north at the same time to reinforce at this time, with the practice that the First Army has been overorganized since the beginning, it is very likely that the rendezvous with Han Jixun's troops will rescue Baili Wuji.

However, Yun Yang miscalculated the speed and course of the Liao army's southward advance, and did not anticipate that the Ganzhou Uighurs would also participate in this national decisive battle.

This mistake made Yun Yang unable to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

……。

At this time, Baili Wuji was leading the new army to Luqu.

From time to time, the Tibetan army attacked and harassed along the road, but after being annihilated by the new army several times, the Tibetan army never appeared again.

Baili Wuji then ordered the new army to speed up the pace. The reason why I am so anxious is because the prisoners of the Tubo army defeated in Minzhou City admit that they are the department of Jiaoguoluo, and Jiaoguoluo takes Shanzhou as the main city, and has no more than a few states in the southeast of Qinghai Lake, with a population of less than 100,000, that is to say, Jiaoguoluo only has 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and in Mincheng, the new army has already defeated Jiaoguoluo's 10,000 army, according to this calculation, the army under Jiaoguoluo's jurisdiction will not exceed 20,000, and with the combat power of the new army, there is every chance to succeed in a war.

Therefore, Baili Wuji wanted to take advantage of the new defeat of the Jiaoluo army, join forces with Xu Shouren as soon as possible, change the original plan to attack Hezhou and Lan Erzhou in the north, and directly enter Shanzhou in the west, hoping to complete the battle.

Baili Wuji never thought that this march would put him and the new army on the road of no return.

In Baili Wuji's mind, this march should be absolutely safe, although it has entered the territory of Tibet, the route of the march has been along the border between the Ming and Zhou countries from south to north. Luqu was originally the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It was under the jurisdiction of Cangzhou in the western Tang Dynasty, and it was the necessary place for the Henan Road of the Silk Road at that time, and Jinglong of the Tang Dynasty fell into Tibet after that. It is called Qiangzhong by Tibet, and forms a triangle with Min and Wei two states.

Luqu is located to the west of Weizhou, and the south of Weizhou is Minzhou.

It was only a two-day journey from Minzhou to Luqu, and if there was an accident, it would only be a three-day journey from Luqu to Weizhou, which was occupied by the Zhou State, and the new army was full of musketeers. The speed will be faster.

Moreover, the supply lines along the way were also unimpeded, and Baili Wuji did not feel the danger approaching at all.

Until it was close to Luqu, the scout who had gone ten miles forward came to report. Luqu was garrisoned by a large number of Tibetan troops, the number of which is unknown.

Baili Wuji immediately ordered the new army to stop advancing, ordered the scouts to continue to investigate the situation of the Tubo army in front, and sent scouts in both the south and north directions. But there is no way out. If he sends scouts to the rear at this time, he will find that the back road of the new army has been cut off by the Tubo cavalry, and Han Jixun's transport team responsible for providing supplies for Baili Wuji is surrounded by thousands of people.

If Baili Wuji retreats quickly at this time, then with the strength of the new army, not only can the transport team be rescued. You can also withdraw the same way.

But without ifs, Baili Wuji was rewarded by the scouts in the north and south directions at this time. There was no sign of troops within ten miles in either direction.

At the same time, the scouts in front reported that the Tibetan army stationed in Luqu had about 20,000 cavalry.

Baili Wuji immediately summoned Zheng Yanhua, Guo Tingwei, and Zhou Baozhong, the commanders of the new army's three chambers, to ask their opinions.

The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Zheng Yanhua, Guo Tingwei, and Zhou Baozhong agreed that the new army was enough to defeat the Tubo army alone, and the combat power of the new army had been verified along the way.

And these three people have the same mind, and it is the greatest glory for every leading general to make great achievements in front of the emperor.

Baili Wuji knew that this was outnumbered, and the use of firearms and ammunition was very depleting, so he still made some preparations.

Ordered someone to immediately send an order to Han Jixun's supply team in the rear, ordering the supply team to focus on replenishing guns and ammunition.

But Baili Wuji didn't know that the messenger he sent couldn't get out at all.

And Baili Wuji immediately issued an attack order, ordering Guo Tingwei on the left and Zhou Baozhong on the right to prepare for an attack.

It is understandable to say that Guo, Zheng, and Zhou are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, but Baili Wuji is a veteran of the battlefield for more than ten years, but he also became competitive at this time, and took the initiative to attack the 20,000 Tubo army with 8,000 new troops.

This is because the desire to take advantage of your illness to kill you is working.

He wanted to take advantage of the weakness of Jiaoluo to completely solve it, and it was estimated that Jiaoguoluo now had only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers left, as long as his main force was defeated in Luqu, then after joining forces with Xu Shouren, he would be able to go north to Shanzhou.

The battle began with the confidence of the new army.

And the combat effectiveness of the new army can indeed live up to this self-confidence.

The soldiers of the New Army used cavalry to carry muskets and grenades, which solved the disadvantage that musketeers could not take the initiative to assault enemy cavalry units.

The Tibetan army had already lined up to be on guard, and when the Ming army began to attack, the Tibetan army immediately began to assault, and the two armies began to hedge.

The cavalry of the new army rushed to the front of the enemy line twenty zhang, charged and fired at the same time, and after shooting one piece, they quickly put down their guns and began to drop bombs, and after four rounds of bombing, they had already entered the distance of hand-to-hand combat.

However, the Tibetan army was in chaos in the explosion, and the cavalry in the front was already in disarray.

For example, the cavalry of the 5,000 New Army is like entering a no-man's land, it seems that everything is so perfect, and Baili Wuji seems to have seen the scene of the Tubo Army collapsing in front of the new army.

At this time, the scouts sent to the rear to give orders reported that the retreat route of twenty miles to the rear had been cut off, and a large number of cavalry blocked the retreat, numbering no less than 30,000 men, and judging from the clothing, it was different from the previous army.

Baili Wuji judged that the number of 30,000 people could never be made up by the Jiaoguo Luo Division, so there was only one source, and that was the army of Luo Qi City.

In addition, it has been learned that the Jiaoluo and Luo kings have colluded, and Baili Wuji can know the origin of these 30,000 troops after a little thought.

At this time, although Baili Wuji was nervous, it was not chaotic.

The collusion between Jiaoguo Luo and Luo Some Kings had already been expected, and now although they were attacked on their backs, Baili Wuji thought that as long as Xu Shouren's special combat army arrived, after the two armies met, it would not be difficult to resist the army of 50,000 Luo Some Kings.

Therefore, Baili Wuji did not order to stop the attack, defeat the Jiaoluo Division in front, and wait until the special operations army meets the division, and then work together to clean up the Tubo Luo Wang army behind it.

The wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When Guo Tingwei and Zhou Baozhong were about to triumph with 5,000 and 20,000, it was reported that the retreat behind them was cut off, not only that, but then the scouts came to report that there were no less than 50,000 Tubo troops in the south approaching to 20 miles.

Baili Wuji is a little blind, isn't Xu Shouren's special combat army in the south going north to join the division, how can there be a 50,000 Tubo army?

After repeatedly confirming with the scouts, Baili Wuji's heart was confused and he fell into a dilemma. (To be continued......)
