Defeat is like a mountain!

The Tubo army that came from afar was already sleepy and lacking horses, and its strength plummeted from hunger, and once the army was defeated, its morale plummeted, and they retreated with their lives, hating to give birth to wings and fly.

The Tang army was so good that they covered up and killed, and they went forward frantically as if they didn't want money, until the Qin Ling personally led the elite of the Chinese army to rush up, suppress the position, and cover the retreat of the army.

On Qinling's intention to pursue and kill, but seeing that the army's heart was unstable, and more importantly, the soldiers' physical strength was weak, so they were worried that they would not be able to deal with the ambush, so they had to give up, and the blood of anger rushed to the top of his head, and he killed several improperly commanded generals in one breath to vent his anger.

On the other hand, the Tang army withdrew to the city in an orderly manner, and there were earth-shattering cheers, and this battle showed momentum, majesty, morale, and admiration for Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao stood on the city wall and watched this scene, and his heart was determined, as long as the army resolutely obeyed the command in the future, this battle would not be without a chance.

"My lord, we won." Duan Zan was also excited.

"The enemy will not attack for the time being, give the order, leave three thousand people on guard, rest the rest, feed the war horses, and fight again tonight." Qin Huaidao admonished.

Duan Zhan's eyes lit up when he heard that he was fighting tonight, although he didn't know why, he didn't ask much, and hurriedly arranged to go.

At this time, Xue Rengui hurried over with the team of guards, no one was missing, covered in blood, his face was full of excitement, and after coming up, Xue Rengui said: "Young master, there is something wrong with the enemy army, there is a lack of cooperation with each other, and the generals only care about themselves. ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Huaidao was upright.

Xue Rengui hurriedly explained: "There are two possibilities, one is that the generals are not convinced by anyone, and it is difficult to form a joint force without the constraints of the main general, and the other is that there is no unity of internal opinions, many people do not want to fight, but for some reason they have to fight, and the specific situation is difficult to judge." ”

Qin Huaidao believed in Xue Rengui's intuition, this guy was born to be suitable for the battlefield, and thought about it, if there is no unity of opinion within the country, then there is a possibility of division, if they are not satisfied with each other, and if they do not cooperate enough without the command of Qinling, they will have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

However, just now the initiative to attack, on the Qinling did not have time to command, it was regarded as a surprise, after the enemy was provoked, frantically chased and came up to retaliate, the retreat was also hasty, the lack of unified command and cooperation, it is understandable, it may not be really internal discord, cooperation is not enough.

After thinking about it, Qin Huaidao planned to take another look, a mistake in judgment would kill the army, so he couldn't be careless, and asked, "I can't see clearly when it's dark, how much did you kill just now?" ”

"I don't count it, it looks like there must be more than 10,000, plus the thousands of people killed by the previous active attack, and the more than 10,000 killed by the enemy when attacking the city, the cumulative 30,000 is probably indispensable." Xue Rengui said.

Qin Huaidao estimated that there were more than 20,000 if not 30,000, so he heard Xue Rengui continue: "However, most of the losses in this battle are consumed, and they need to be replenished, otherwise it will be difficult to fight later." ”

"What if we steal camp tonight?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"Stealing camps?" Xue Rengui was stunned, the light in his eyes burst suddenly, and he said excitedly: "The enemy army came from afar, exhausted, and the losses in the battle just now were not small, the morale will inevitably be low, if there is no food tonight, and there is not enough to eat, I am afraid that there will be resentment, and the chance of winning the sneak attack is very great." ”

"Yes, what do you think is the best way to fight?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Xue Rengui saw that Qin Huaidao was testing himself, and did not answer immediately, but looked at the enemy army slowly retreating in front, hunting with flags, people neighing and horses, and then looking at the surrounding terrain, he immediately had an idea, and said: "Young master, the enemy army is in front, if our army shoots more torches in the city, bluffs, attracts the enemy's attention, and secretly draws an army from the back and quietly leaves, detours, when the ugly time is sleepy, the army suddenly kills out, goes straight to the Chinese army tent, kills a pair and returns to the city, it is absolutely possible." ”

"Suddenly attack from behind the enemy, kill through the 300,000 army and return to the city, you are more daring than I expected, however, I didn't expect you to do this, the enemy is even more, thousands of people to touch the 300,000 army, it is no different from looking for death, but you can catch them off guard, the odds of winning are not low, but you have to plan carefully." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Xue Rengui nodded, looked at the army outside the city and thought about something, and added after a while: "Young master, the enemy's strength is spread horizontally, 300,000 seems to be a lot, but the thickness is not enough, it is only three or five miles away, the horse is galloping, it won't take long to rush out, the enemy is in a hurry to fight, it is too late to entangle, this battle is just one word, fast!" Don't get entangled, rush all the way to kill, and run after the fight. ”

Just when Duan Zan came back, Qin Huaidao intended to improve Xue Rengui's status and influence in the army, and asked Xue Rengui to tell the plan, Duan Zan was startled when he heard that he would sneak attack and kill him from behind enemy lines. But seeing the width of the Tubo army, he calculated the thickness of the army formation, and once the horse speed was up, it would not take long and he would not fall into encirclement.

If you can really kill a match, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the enemy's morale, and I am not sure in my heart, so I immediately called the scout camp general to come over, and told the other party to take a few people to investigate, just look at it from a distance, without stimulating the enemy, and then said: "My lord, there is also this Xue ......"

For Xue Rengui, Duan Zan didn't know anything, and he didn't know how to call it well, so calling his name seemed rusty.

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "Brother Xue is the commander of the escort army beside me. ”

"Commander Xue." Forging bowed, the previous provocation of the charge has been heard by Wang Meng, he is a more fierce general than Wang Meng, and Wang Meng is the first brave general under Duan Zhan, his heart is full of admiration, and he continued: "If the scout's reconnaissance is correct, the last general will personally take 5,000 people to sneak attack." ”

The sneak attack was successful, a great achievement, and finally came to Tubo, Duan Zan didn't want to miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Qin Huaidao originally planned to go by himself, but it was not good to grab credit from Duan Zhan, he would look undignified and lose the support of the army, looking at Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui nodded knowingly, Qin Huaidao thought about it, and still felt uneasy, the sneak attack was too important, and he didn't follow the bottom, and asked: "General Duan, is there a candidate to defend the city?" ”

Defending the city requires steady, cautious, and careful people, and Qin Huaidao doesn't know enough about Duan Zhan's troops.

Duan Zan heard that Qin Huaidao was planning to go in person, but he didn't deny that he would go too, thought about it, and said, "There is a candidate who should be competent." ”

"Since this is the case, then make arrangements, leave 3,000 people to defend the city, and the rest of the spirit of cultivation, prepare for the loss, if you can kill another 20,000 tonight, the remaining enemy army will be less than half, and it will be easy to fight later."

"The last general will arrange it here." Duan Zhan agreed.

"Wait a minute, let people go out to clean up the battlefield, collect weapons and smelt, catch up with the loss, and set off in three hours, there is still some time." Qin Huaidao admonished.

Duan Zan nodded knowingly and hurriedly went.

"Go and rest, too." Qin Huaidao looked at the Zhuang Guardian team.

Everyone nodded and turned to leave.

After dinner, Qin Huaidao casually found a place to take a nap on the city wall, but it was like a needle in the sea, making the soldiers defending the city feel at ease.

Time passes quietly and passes unconsciously.

Three hours later, a large army left quietly through the back door, and Xue Rengui walked in front with the team to protect the village, looking for possible enemy scouts.

Qin Huaidao and Duan Zan walked side by side, behind them was a silent army of seven thousand, the battle armor emitted moonlight, cold, dazzling, speechless all the way, burying his head in the moonlight.

Half an hour later, a member of the Zhuang Guardian team hurriedly came over, clasped his fists and said: "Young Master, I found three waves of enemy scouts, and they have been killed, and I am afraid that there will be more in the future, Brother Xue suggested going farther away to avoid the scouts." ”

"Yes!" Qin Huaidao agreed.

The army changed its march route, made a larger circle, avoided the scouts, and an hour later came to a hillside, in front of which was an open, flat meadow, where a large army was resting, tents and camps, and countless bonfires, but there was no noise in the army, but the snoring of hundreds of thousands of people was like thunder, and could be faintly heard from a distance.

There were quite a few patrols on the periphery of the barracks, and in the direction of the city of Rakho, there was a large army resting around the campfire, unclothed, and there must be 20,000 or 30,000 people, trapped in the city to guard against a sneak attack from someone in the city.

Seeing this scene, everyone was secretly frightened, fortunately, they detoured behind the enemy's back, if they attacked head-on, they just collided, once they were entangled, they couldn't get out, they would be dumplings, and one could not survive, then Qinling was worthy of being the future military god of Tubo, and the vigilance was not low.

After observing for a moment, Duan Zan couldn't help but say, "My lord, what are you doing?" ”

"Don't worry, after walking for so long, our war horses also need some time to recover their strength." Qin Huaidao refused, staring at the enemy's large array with a pair of blazing eyes, and suddenly found that the black pressure in the distance was pressing, like war horses gathered together, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It's a pity that there are no binoculars, and he can't see far at night, Qin Huaidao pointed ahead and said, "Brother Xue, you have good eyesight, can you see what the black pressure is?" ”

People who are good at using arrows have good eyesight, Xue Rengui followed what he was looking for, and said firmly: "It's like a war horse, young master, what do you mean...... Kill it, and then drive the war horse to charge into battle, let's follow behind to cover up? ”

is worthy of being the god of war in the future, and he can see through it at all.

Qin Huaidao was a little convinced, this guy was born with a tactic, this kind of talent can't be cultivated, nodded, looked at Duan Zhan, Duan Zan also looked at the black and oppressive war horses, his eyes became fanatical, not too much, only 10,000 war horses were out of control, frantically rushing forward, the army followed behind to cover up, absolutely victorious, nodded and said: "My lord, the last general thinks it is feasible, do it." ”

"Zhonglang will bring the above officers over and deploy the battle sequence." Qin Huaidao said in a low voice.

Zhonglang will be the high-level of the army, and when he heard the news, he rushed to gather together.

Qin Huaidao placed it with a stone, and explained: "Wang Meng, Brother Xue, you two take two thousand people to rush to the front, as arrows, and go straight to the direction of the war horse, General Duan, arrange a thousand people on the left and right, and form a triangle with the front army, and you can decide the specific candidates." ”

Everyone looked at the triangles placed on the ground, and they all looked at Duan Zhan.

Duan Zan also knew the importance of the two wings, and he needed a general to suppress it, once it collapsed, the enemy would rush up from the two wings, surround everyone, and immediately ordered two generals.

Qin Huaidao did not interfere, and told the two people who arrived: "Be sure to keep in touch with the front army, and there should be no gap in between." ”

As he spoke, he drew a line on the ground and connected it with the stone in front of him, adding: "The front and back are connected, like a wall blocking the two wings, so that the enemy cannot rush into the middle, and the soldiers have no worries, and they are dedicated to the outside, remember." ”

The two nodded solemnly.

Qin Huaidao drew a line to connect the two stones behind, and the triangle was complete, and continued: "The remaining three thousand, after the two thousand are broken, line up in a horizontal line to prevent the enemy from rushing up, and the remaining one thousand are maneuvering in the center, where can you not bear it, immediately use the crossbow to support remotely, the army forms a triangle, and rushes forward as a whole to kill, what is not clear?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, this style of play is clear at a glance, and you can understand it at a glance.

"What do you want to add?" Qin Huaidao looked at Duan Zhan.

Duan Zan said: "The last general will personally lead the team behind the palace, and the adults will be in the center and support at any time. ”

It is relatively safe in the center, Qin Huaidao has three longs and two shorts, and Duan Zan knows very well that he can't explain it.

Qin Huaidao can also understand Duan Zhan's worries, he is the main general of the army, if there is really an accident, the army's heart will be scattered, if the rush is in the most dangerous place, everyone will be distracted, they will worry, and the combat effectiveness will not be able to be brought into play, after thinking about it, he said: "It's okay, Brother Xue, General Wang Meng, the rush must be fast." ”

"Obey!" The two solemnly clasped their fists.

"After approaching the war horses, the front army dispersed in a semi-encircled formation, cut the hemp rope, drove at least 10,000 war horses forward, and went straight to some cities.

"Obey!" Everyone hugged their fists and solemnly agreed.

"The stakes in this battle are very important, we must be sincere and united, and we need to inform no one of the combat intentions to ensure that there is no chaos, after the war, this officer will personally ask for credit for everyone and take action!"

At the sound of an order, the team went into action.

Qin Huaidao turned over and got on the horse, pulled out two knives and pulled a knife flower, rushed into battle, it was still convenient to use knives, the team came over, protected around, and was on high alert, but he didn't see Xue Rengui, Qin Huaidao knew that Xue Rengui was not at ease, and he intended to arrange it, and it was not easy to refuse.

Not long after, an army of 2,000 people took the lead in rushing down the hillside, one by one, cold as frost, fierce fighting spirit, and then the two wings of the army, also rushed down, forming an attack triangle to advance forward, the rest of the troops also rushed down, while unfolding, and the front, if you look down from the sky, you can find a vacuum triangle.

Thousands of people rolled away like a flood of floodgates, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

The sound of horses' hooves roared far away in the night.

The Tubo army that was patrolling heard the noise and stopped to watch, and when they realized that something was wrong, they rushed towards the barracks one by one, shouting and shouting warnings, but the Tubo army was focused on the front, and the rear army was snoring like thunder, and they were all tired, how could it be so easy to wake up?

Finally woke up some people and rushed out of the camp to check, the Tang army had already rushed up, a shot into a large area, did not directly rush into the formation, but rushed to the other side, the rest of the Tibetan army was robbed, but full of confusion, watching the Tang army rush from the front.

Xue Rengui took the lead, only the batch of war horses in his eyes, and when he got closer, he saw it clearly, and he was immediately overjoyed, and shouted excitedly: "Haha, it's really a war horse, General Wang, let's get rich." ”

"Hahaha, it's good to be a war horse, Lao Tzu is still worried about seeing it wrong, this battle is stable." Wang Meng also shouted excitedly, Mo Dao slapped his ass, and shouted: "Brothers, kill it, drive-"

"Kill!"

The soldiers have long known that the core of this battle is the war horse, if it is not a war horse, this battle is very dangerous, and now it is clear that it is still afraid of a fart? One by one, they screamed and rushed forward, shooting the enemies who stood in their way.

The Tang army came prepared, the speed of the war horses was raised, and the Tubo army was caught off guard and could not form an effective resistance, and it could not be stopped at all for a while, and the military camp was rushed to pieces.

Soon, the army rushed to the vicinity of the war horse and began to slow down, and Wang Meng shouted excitedly: "Disperse, drive the horse." ”

The soldiers had already been mentally prepared, quickly dispersed, rushed forward in a semi-encircled form, and made all kinds of strange screams from their mouths, which frightened the war horses into panic, turned around one after another, and ran in the direction of no one.

"Oooh oh ......"

All kinds of strange cries were like fierce beasts, and the war horses ran faster.

The 2,000 men spread out in a semi-encircled state, and more than 10,000 war horses were trapped, and everyone screamed excitedly and drove away, not caring about fighting the enemy.

Countless Tubo troops rushed up from both sides, trying to organize, but the Tang army behind them killed, quickly unfolded, flew up like geese, and even the crossbow machines were bursting with sounds, and they were lost like locusts crossing the border, like a torrential rain, and the Tubo troops that were killed fell one by one, and they couldn't stop it at all.

In the face of the crossbow, which is a large-scale killing weapon, the poorly equipped Tubo army is not an opponent at all, coupled with a sneak attack, it failed to organize effective resistance, and the battle was one-sided and slaughtered.

The wails, the crumblings, the shouts of killing, were intertwined, shaking the wilderness, and even the moon could not bear to look directly at it, and hid in the dark clouds.

After being frightened, the war horse became crazy, and was driven to rush in one direction, knocking and trampling the Tibetan army one by one, kicking over one camp tent, kicking away the bonfire, and countless camp tents burned, and the scene was chaotic.

An army responsible for guarding against the sneak attack of the city rushed to hear the news, but it was just in front of the war horse, and the frightened war horse, no matter who it was, rushed forward desperately, and the army rushed to pieces, and the Tang army then arrived, and it was another shot to cover up, and there were countless casualties.

Soon, the Tang army drove the war horses out of the Tubo camp, continued to rush forward, and accepted it when it was good.

"Hahaha!"

"Your Excellency is mighty!"

"The Tang Army is mighty!"

The soldiers shouted excitedly and walked away, leaving only a mess.

On Qinling came with the Chinese army, seeing this scene so angry that he almost vomited blood, he did not hesitate to catch up with the army, several generals were worried about fraud, and hurriedly reminded, but on Qinling was bitter in his heart, he had to chase, the army was sneak attacked, not to mention morale, the strength was reduced by more than half, if you don't take the opportunity to take some cities, how to fight later?

The 100,000 army lost more than half of its efforts in one night, how to serve the public in the future, how to fight for hegemony?

However, the soldiers were still hungry and did not want to fight, and the pursuit was not resolute, and the distance was even farther.

On Qinling was furious, there was only one thought in his heart, he rushed into the city, and took some cities in one go, and if he missed tonight, he would be very passive, and even fall into an unfavorable situation, and he couldn't take care of it too much.

In the slave kingdom, many of the soldiers are slaves, as a nobleman, the Qinling does not care about everyone's life or death, people can be recruited again if they are gone, and Tubo has no shortage of slaves, but if he does not take some cities, he may die himself.

Qin Huaidao rushed into the city with the army, quickly went up the city wall, and when he saw the enemy chasing after him, he shouted: "Quick, General Duan, set up defenses according to the last fight." ”

"Understood!" Duan Zan agreed and ran to command.

After the last enemy stormed the city, the soldiers knew very well how to deploy defenses and how to counterattack, and quickly took their positions, holding crossbows and waiting for them.

In the blink of an eye, the city of Raksha was like a fried hedgehog.

If the city gate is closed, it will not be easy to fight without the siege ladder, so he ordered a large army to rush up, and the other armies will slow down and stop to avoid crowding.

The same mistake of Qinling cannot be repeated.

However, this style of play is tantamount to adding fuel tactics, Qin Huaidao looked at the enemy soldiers who rushed up and smiled, with a little coldness, there was no need to command at all, the soldiers even sent their crossbows frantically, and they lost like rain, knocking down the Tubo army that rushed up in pieces, and many of them rolled into the trench.

At the gate of the city, on the city wall, up and down cooperated, and the losses flew endlessly, forming a three-dimensional defense network, holding back the enemy who rushed up.

The passage at the gate of the city is only five zhang wide, that is, fifteen meters, and there are five meters deep trenches on both sides.

At this moment, the Tubo army was like a moth to a fire, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, piled up like a mountain, blocking the footsteps of the enemy behind, many people did not have time to stop, they were crowded and fell into the trench, the trench was gradually filled with the corpses of people and horses, countless canisters of fire oil flew over, smashed in the trench, followed by rockets.

The trenches were ablaze with fire, deterring the enemy and holding them back.

On Qinling watched his men fall one by one, his heart was dripping blood, and he had the intention to withdraw his troops, but he was unwilling, gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to consume the Tang army, but the generals around him were in a hurry, they were all their own people, one less dead, and besides, there was no army in his hands, so he was a fart?

Like the Turks, the army is dominated by tribes, the chief general of each army is also the tribal chief, and every soldier is a clansman and the pillar of the tribe.

How is this acceptable?

One of the generals couldn't help but shout: "My lord, if you continue to fight, all the warriors of our clan will be gone." ”

On Qinling's sharp eyes locked on the other party like a knife, and said coldly: "Do you want to obey the order? ”

"No...... Can't. The other party panicked, thought of something, and suppressed the resentment.

The surrounding generals cast sympathetic looks, but no one pleaded stupidly, and the dead friends did not die in the poor way.

"You all listen to Lord Ben, this battle is extremely critical, if it is successful, then the big thing can be decided, Lord Ben will give you ten times the slave compensation, defeat, then everyone has no place to stand, and will be captured by other armies to calm the anger of the Tang Army, if you don't want to die, don't feel sorry for a little loss, the Tang Army came from afar, the materials they carried were limited, they were exhausted, and it was decided in a war." On Qinling's eyes were murderous, and his attitude was resolute.

It makes sense for everyone to hear it, the strongest thing in the Tang Army is the crossbow, but there will be a limit to the loss of carrying, once it is exhausted, it is not a lamb to be slaughtered?

The army's heart instantly stabilized.

On Qinling smiled with satisfaction, looking ahead with a little madness and cruelty, the army was about to run out, and shouted: "Everyone, the first to attack the city can get all the silver in the city, who will go up?" ”

Please be as good as the agitation!

When everyone heard this, they were not decided, and they were worried about whether they had any slaves if they had silver? If you have slaves, you still have no soldiers?

"My lord, I'll come!"

"Leave it to me."

"Why, don't rob me."

One by one, they scrambled, and only the general who had run out of troops was silent, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

On Qinling didn't pay attention, and pointed to a general with the most troops and said solemnly: "Please." ”

"I am willing to share the worries of the adults and take the city of Luo." The other party saluted excitedly and left in a hurry.

Soon, another large army rushed forward, and the morale was like a rainbow.

On the city wall, the soldiers saw another large army coming up to die, and they were not afraid at all and continued to shoot.

Qin Huaidao frowned slightly, the morale of the enemy was a little high, it was unreasonable, this discussion of Qinling really had some ability.
