Inside the city, outside the city, separated by a gate.

When Li Qinzai led the army out of the city gate, for some reason, he felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, as if at that moment, he had inexplicably shouldered a thousand pounds of burden.

Those people who turned around and returned to the city without hesitation, the vivid faces still appeared in their minds.

Li Qinzai could only secretly pray to Su Dingfang that there should be no accidents on the road, and that he must rush to the border on time, otherwise not only will he work hard, but the people will also be in danger.

Shanzhou was only 100 miles away from the border, and after leaving the city, Li Qinzai soon entered the territory of Tuyuhun.

As soon as he stepped into Tuyuhun, the scouts came to report that Lu Dongzan had increased his troops from Tubo into Tuyuhun again, about 30,000 soldiers and horses, and gathered 30,000 troops near Qinghai Lake, and was investigating the whereabouts of Li Qinzai's department.

Obviously, Li Qinzai's guerrilla tactics some time ago annihilated many small groups of Tubo troops, which had angered Lu Dongzan, so he changed his tactics and gathered superior forces to completely annihilate Li Qinzai in the territory of Tuyuhun.

Li Qinzai scratched his head a little.

This is not easy to do, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses have been killed under his command, how can he fight with 30,000 Tibetan troops?

The tactics of switching to guerrilla warfare will not work, Lu Dongzan is not a mediocre person, and since he has seen through Li Qinzai's tactics, he will not be fooled again.

It can be said that the Tubo army will not easily divide its troops in the coming days, but tens of thousands of troops will act at the same time, and Li Qinzai's strategy of attack and harassment may not be effective.

But what Lu Dongzan didn't know was that Li Qinzai had replenished more than 1,000 three-eyed guns in Shanzhou City, as well as sufficient ammunition.

Today, under Li Qinzai's command, there are a total of 2,000 three-eyed guns and more than 3,000 cavalry.

Counting the days, Pei Xingjian's 10,000 Anxi Army is about to enter Tuyuhun.

Lu Dongzan's superior forces have been gathered, and Li Qinzai and Pei Xingjian have gradually formed a flanking attack in the east and west.

The strategy has been formed, but in terms of tactics, it must be extremely careful, once Lu Dongzan senses that something is wrong, he immediately jumps out of the game laid out for him by Li Qinzai, and the early arrangement falls short.

"Two thousand three-eyed guns lined up in the middle of the formation, and more than 3,000 cavalry outflanked them from the left and right flanks, advancing in the middle formation, interspersed with flanks, and killing Lu Dongzan and a dog offal!" Sun Congdong said viciously.

Li Qinzai sighed: "If you are so happy in the war, everyone is a famous general." ”

Sun Congdong smiled.

Li Qinzai glanced at Song Jintu.

Song Jintu was still silent, and after receiving the leader's gaze, he didn't seem to have any intention of opening his mouth to say anything, like a stuffy donkey that had just been grinding for a long time.

Li Qinzai had no choice but to sigh.

There is no chaotic sound in the army, and the advance and retreat are decided by the commander, and the people below carry it out unconditionally, which is good.

But when the manager wants to hear a little useful advice from his staff, don't expect it.

At this time, I realized how important it was to have a staff member by my side.

On the Nth day of leaving King Luo Bing, I miss him.

After a long time, Song Jintu finally held back a sentence: "You can't fight the Tubo army head-on." ”

Li Qinzai and Sun Congdong looked at him with admiration in their eyes.

"And then?" Li Qinzai couldn't help but ask.

"And then it's gone, Uncle Li said what to do, and the last general will do it." Song Jintu's face of shirking responsibility is extremely sincere.

Well, the only word, barely counts nonsense.

Sun Congdong couldn't help but say: "Say a few more words, do you want to visit the Qinglou?" ”

Song Jintu said seriously: "I listen to Uncle Li. ”

Li Qinzai sighed, neither of them could count on it.

"Before the arrival of Pei Xingjian's 10,000 Anxi Army, we have to contain the Tubo army in the northern part of Tuyuhun, so ......" Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and said: "We still have to use attack tactics, but we can't fight head-on, we can only use the advantage of our light cavalry to lead the Tubo army by the nose." ”

Sun Congdong said in a low voice: "Uncle Li County, we have more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, including 2,000 rods and three-eyed guns, if the soldiers and horses pursued by the Tubo army are less than 10,000, we can swallow them." ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "Since Lu Dongzan has seen through our attack tactics, he will not divide his troops to pursue, once attacked, the whole army will be dispatched, and the 30,000 Tubo army will not be sure of victory for us, and the casualties in the frontal confrontation will be too great." ”

"What's more, I heard that Lu Dongzan mobilized 30,000 troops from Tubo to enter Tuguhun, and with his calculations, maybe he will set up a situation for us in turn."

"Our army has become a big problem for Lu Dongzan, and he will definitely try his best to annihilate us."

Sun Congdong said: "Uncle Li said to continue to harass, how can we harass?" ”

Li Qinzai pondered for a moment and said, "Lu Dongzan doesn't dare to divide his troops, I dare." The 5,000 soldiers and horses were divided into three parts, and attacked the Tubo army on the periphery of the camp from the northeast, south, and south of the Tibetan camp. ”

"Let's run in three directions, see which direction Lu Dongzan chooses to pursue, no matter whether the Tubo army is divided or not, we must finally choose a place to assemble in the three directions."

"If the Tubo army divides its troops, then choose one of them to annihilate it, if he does not divide the troops, we will lead the Tubo army around in a circle until they give up the pursuit."

"After a few days of Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang's army, the Tubo army was nailed to death by us near Qinghai Lake in the north of Tuyuhun, and the three armies would meet and suppress, and our strategic goal would be achieved."

Song Jintu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "What should I do if the 30,000 troops newly entered by Tubo suddenly attack my Tang border city from the south of Tuyuhun?" ”

Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "This is what I am most worried about, and it is also unsolvable, after all, we only have more than 5,000 people, and it is already very difficult to fight with the Tubo army, and we are really unable to protect the border city......

Gritting his teeth, Li Qinzai said: "If we really get to that point, we can only let it go." ”

Looking up at the desolate wasteland, Li Qinzai rode on horseback and straightened his waist.

Thousands of years of foundation, a hundred years of peace, pay this war.

Afraid?

I'm afraid, but, the big husband must do something.

The next day, Li Qinzai's 5,000 soldiers and horses were detected by Tibetan scouts.

Lu Dongzan ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the camp to pursue, Li Qinzai fled to the north, the two soldiers and horses ran more than 200 miles one after the other, at sunset, the Tubo army was worried that there was an ambush in front, so he ordered to retreat.

On the third day, Li Qinzai led his troops to approach the Tibetan camp near Qinghai Lake again.

Lu Dongzan ordered his troops to pursue, and once again you chased me and ran away, chasing me to the foot of Qilian Mountain, and the Tubo army returned again in vain.

This has been repeated many times, and the Tubo soldiers are tired, and Li Qinzai's troops are gradually showing fatigue.

Li Qinzai was waiting for the opportunity to divide the troops of the Tubo army, while Lu Dongzan was obviously not easy to be fooled.

When the two armies were at a stalemate, the scouts brought bad news from the south.

After the new 30,000 Tubo troops entered Tuyuhun, they marched eastward on the orders of Lu Dongzan, and the destination was Shanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, making an offensive posture.

Obviously, Lu Dongzan already had plans to attack the Tang City.
