In the autumn of the 45th year of the Celestial Empire, 400,000 iron cavalry led by the famous Tubo general Lingyou gathered again in Dafeichuan, eastern Tubo, intending to invade Liangzhou.

Emperor Tianxuan, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty who had just recovered from a serious illness, made every effort to override the public opinion in the court, and on the one hand, he strictly ordered the governor of Liangzhou to seal thousands of miles to guard Liangzhou for assistance with an urgent report of 800 li, and on the other hand, he took the Beiting Metropolitan Protector and the Northern Immortal Supreme as his commander, and mobilized the 80,000 Yulin army stationed in Fengmen, the western suburb of Beijing, and reinforced Liangzhou together with the 30,000 Yizhou Iron Cavalry who were marching towards the east of Liangzhou.

As soon as the Yulin army came out this time, there will be no soldiers and horses available near the Beijing Division, only 20,000 Praetorian Guards are left to defend the city, if the Tubo people give up attacking Liangzhou and attack the Beijing Division, then the imperial power of the Celestial Dynasty is in danger, and Tianxuan can be so decisive in a short period of time, which is really beyond everyone's expectations.

Being able to piece together 140,000 horses this time seems to be the limit of the Celestial Empire.

Only half a year has passed, the same 140,000 to 400,000, the only difference is that the marshal of the Celestial Empire has been replaced by the Northern Underworld, and no one can know whether history can repeat itself.

The three armies set out almost at the same time, but the Tubo people had a clear advantage, because Dafeichuan in eastern Xinjiang was much closer to the city of Liangzhou than Jingshi and Shuzhong. If nothing else, by the time the Celestial Empire reinforcements arrived, the Tibetans had completed the siege.

On the side of the Western Regions, Li Tiantu couldn't bear Xue Li's repeated requests, and secretly led the Xuantie Black Cavalry and 20,000 Anxi Iron Cavalry to bypass Xizhou, Yanqi and other cities, and now he has reached the vicinity of Qiuci north of Luoqi, and has taken Qiuci City, which is only defended by 1,000 Tubo soldiers, with lightning speed.

The people in the city who originally belonged to the Celestial Empire saw that the Celestial Empire army had returned, beat gongs and drums one by one, and took the initiative to send the food, grass, drinking water and other things that the Anxi soldiers lacked the most.

After going down to the city, Xue Li ordered martial law in the whole city, and everyone was allowed to enter but not to leave, in case anyone leaked the news.

The Tubo flag is still hanging on the head of Qiuzi City, and it looks like nothing unusual.

The Mansion of the Lord of Qiuzi City.

Xue Li, who had finished arranging everything, sat on the chair and said with a sigh of relief: "However, I rode out lightly all the way, and there was not enough food and grass, if there was another choice, brother, I would never want to risk going down to this city." ”

"Actually, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to leak the news." Li Tiantu groaned.

"How?" Xue Li said in a deep voice.

Li Tiantu leaned on the back of the chair leisurely and said slowly: "There are benefits of hiding, and the royal court at the foot of Bayan Mountain can attack it." But there are benefits of leaks, and now in the entire territory of Tubo, only the Red Guards of the Royal Court can threaten our army, and some other scattered garrisons are basically useless. The question is, do the Red Guards dare to put down the royal court and come to Qiuzi? They will only put the news on the side of Liangzhou and let King Ming go to worry. ”

After listening to Li Tiantu's analysis, Xue Li was a little moved for a while and said, "Why don't you send someone to release the news?" ”

Li Tiantu pointed his finger at the sky, shook his head and said, "No, no, everything is as it is!" ”

The things of the battlefield can also be fateful? Xue Li disagreed, but there was nothing to refute.

Li Tiantu suddenly said again: "The real battlefield is in the east, this time it depends on the old man of the North Underworld." ”

"Who would have thought that the emperor would move the Yulin Army! I think it's the best choice to work under the Jingshi. Xue Li suddenly had an ominous omen in his heart.

Lingyou's terrible is known only to those who have actually fought with him, that young alien man was born purely for war.

This time, the military strength of the two sides was about the same, and Xue Li was very worried that the Northern Darkness would repeat his mistakes.

"The Celestial Empire has already given up the Western Regions, and if it abandons Liangzhou again, it will lose a large part of the people's hearts." Li Tiantu very much agreed with Tianxuandu's approach, "Moreover, stopping the battle line at Xiliang will cause less harm to the people of the Celestial Empire." ”

Xue Li smiled and couldn't help but scold: "No wonder the Chinese officials of the DPRK don't like military attachés, they consider different angles, one considers the war situation, the other considers the people's livelihood, it's a pity that Brother Li doesn't become a university scholar." ”

Li Tiantu hurriedly waved his hand, looking ashamed, "I'm not a civil and military attaché, I'm just a grass citizen, and my consideration is naturally my own interests." ”

Grass people? Xue Li was stunned, if it weren't for the young man in front of him, wouldn't he be a grass farmer now?

"Brother Li, when are we leaving? I am afraid that the army of our Celestial Empire and the Tubo Iron Cavalry have already started diplomacy in Liangzhou. Xue Li turned to Li Tiantu and asked.

"After nearly twenty days of rapid marching, the soldiers are tired, let them rest for a good day, and talk about it tomorrow. Moreover, depending on the situation, Lingyou asked the farther Yulin army to arrive in Liangzhou first, so they couldn't fight now. Li Tiantu yawned, "I'll go back to sleep first." ”

Xue Li intuitively felt that Li Tiantu had something to say, and wanted to continue to ask, but seeing that he was extremely tired, he temporarily stopped thinking.

The 30,000 Yizhou iron cavalry led by Hua Canghai, the governor of Yizhou, and the 80,000 Yulin army of the Northern Hell met in the Huangmen town, more than 100 miles north of Liangzhou City, and at this time, Lingyou's 400,000 Tubo iron cavalry had surrounded Liangzhou City.

"Marshal, how should we fight this battle?"

Hua Canghai was distressed and helpless, it was another situation of less to more, regardless of winning or losing, I don't know how many Yizhou sons and daughters who came out with themselves after this battle.

"The 30,000 Xiliang soldiers who have sealed thousands of miles have been besieged in Liangzhou City, and they can't be counted on."

The people who are over eighty years old feel that they are still in good spirits, old and strong.

The old marshal took the horsewhip, squinted his eyes and said softly: "However, although the Xiliang soldiers are strong, there is a straw bag commander Feng Qianli, who can drag 180,000 horses under the city of Liangzhou, which is also a good choice." ”

Hua Canghai smiled, he didn't answer the words of the old marshal, the entire Celestial Dynasty dared to name and insult the governor of Liangzhou, and only the old minister in front of him, who had a very high prestige in the army and had served three generations of emperors, was supreme.

"If there are 100,000 fewer Tibetan cavalry against us, this battle will not be hopeless." The North is supreme and the Tao.

"I'm afraid that Lingyou will fight a decisive battle with 400,000 iron horsemen and 110,000 horses on our side, and Feng Qianli's gallant mice can't shrink in Liangzhou City."

Beimingsu's supreme eyes suddenly became much sharper.

"Marshal, there are no soldiers available near the Beijing Division, no matter what situation we face, we can only win and not lose, otherwise not only the Beijing Division will be in crisis, but it will break our defense line, and the Tubo Iron Cavalry will go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains as if it were no man's land." Hua Canghai was a little deflated.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Realizing that the battle situation was already thrilling, the old marshal couldn't help but sigh, and his expression looked much calmer than that of the Metropolitan Governor of Huada.

"Marshal, are we standing still in Huangmen Town?"

Hua Canghai looked at the low and dilapidated earthen wall in front of him, no matter how much he repaired it, he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist the two charges of the Tubo Iron Cavalry.
