Under the sun, countless soldiers stood in the air.

The swords and guns were in the sky, and the murderous spirit in front of the camp was fierce.

Li Xuan slowly followed Liu Renliang's side, and his eyes subconsciously glanced in the direction of Mo Lanyi, where it was calm.

Putting the love of children back to the bottom of his heart, Li Xuan's eyes became cold.

Looking at the other side of the Shazhuyu River in the distance, countless swaying figures, Li Xuan's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, rubbing it gently.

His sword was thirsty for blood.

Liu Renliang led a group of generals to pass in front of the various armies in turn, and every soldier could clearly see the appearance of these leading generals.

Standing in front of the right side of the army, Liu Renliang waved his hand, and the big sword on his side immediately stood up high, making a whirring wind sound.

Everyone's attention was focused on Liu Renliang under Daxu in an instant.

The commander of the army, the generalissimo of the Northwest Road march, the general manager, the left servant of Shangshu, the prince's guest, the prince of Lecheng County, Liu Renliang.

"Generals, all armies, now there are those who are in the west and Tubo, vainly occupying the land of Tuyuhun, according to the order of the Tang Emperor, all the people inside and outside, who dare to call soldiers, will be beheaded." Liu Renliang's right hand twitched around his waist, and in an instant, a sharp long sword had been directly drawn.

The sharp blade flashed with a cold light in the sun, Liu Renliang looked at the wide Qingnan Basin in the west with a cold face, and shouted loudly: "By the order of the Tang Emperor, all the people inside and outside, whoever dares to call a soldier will be killed." ”

"Slash, slash, slash!" Countless soldiers brandished their swords and lances, shouting in unison, and the killing aura rushed straight into the sky.

Li Xuan stood in the center of the army, and his expression was suddenly solemn.

Liu Ren's long sword slashed forward: "The army set off, kill the enemy." ”

Countless gray-clothed and gray-armored cavalry took the lead in blasting out, like a torrent, quickly heading towards the direction of Qugou.

Headed by Wang Xiaojie, the general of the left guard.

Wang Xiaojie's main force of the left guard cavalry, most of which are now in Qugou, he is now rushing to Qugou, and then leading all his six thousand cavalry towards the west of the thirsty river.

They were followed by 6,000 left guard infantry, and in front of them, 2,000 right guard cavalry had spread out in all directions.

As a Chinese army, it went south to expel the Tibetan eyeline, and went north to find the location of the Lanshui Dam, which was the eye of the army.

They are the real main force of today's battle, sword and shield men, archers, lancers, and a large number of chariots, small catapults,

Under the countless flags, they quickly marched towards the west.

Xiao Siye, the general of the Left Guard, walked out of the crowd and solemnly bowed his hand to Liu Renliang: "Marshal, the last general will go first." ”

"Well, be careful." Liu Renliang nodded seriously and clenched his fists.

Xiao Siye turned around, and in a blink of an eye, he had already led a group of personal soldiers to chase in the direction of the army in front.

In this battle, Xiao Siye will be the hardest person.

Half an hour later, the rear army, the right guard of 6,000 foot soldiers walked slowly, facing the southeast, approaching the bank of the Shazhuyu River, and the vigilance of the Qinling Tubo army suddenly crossed the river.

In the camp, there are still 6,000 soldiers.

2,000 left guard infantry, 2,000 right guard cavalry, 1,000 right guard cavalry, 1,000 right guard foot soldiers.

The army began to pull out the camp, but it was not in a hurry to move forward, and on the way of the army, a temporary post station was set up every twenty miles, and two hundred left guard foot soldiers were stationed.

Build earthen forts, bonfires, and once a Tibetan army crosses the river, a beacon fire will be lit immediately, and the front-line cavalry will be killed back in a blink of an eye.

The march of the army does not allow for the slightest omission.

Liu Renliang has been in the army for many years, and everything has already been arranged in an orderly manner.

Li Xuan looked at the right guard cavalry and right guard foot soldiers who had been prepared on the other side, and arched his hand to Liu Renliang: "Marshal, it's time for the last general to set off." ”

Liu Renliang stood in front of the army and returned the salute with a fist at Li Xuan: "Be careful." ”

Li Xuan nodded, then turned his horse's head, took a thousand right guard cavalry and a thousand right guard foot soldiers, pulled fifty carriages, and quickly headed towards the north side of the South Mountain.

From the valley of the Chapcha River, where they are located, to the west of the Chaka Salt Lake, a total of seven rivers more than 40 meters wide flow down from the south side of Nanshan.

Now in the dry season, the river is not particularly abundant, even if it is a foot soldier, it can be directly crossed.

But only perennial herders know what's going on.

The farther west these rivers go, the closer they are to the Chaka Salt Lake, and the water is abundant, but most of the rivers today do not have much flow.

The reason for this is clear at a glance.

Li Xuan led the crowd forward, and after a whole day of preparation, the fifty carriages behind were already filled with sharp wooden stakes.

Once these stakes are inserted into the river, they immediately plunge deep into the river.

Together with the straw bags on the remaining twenty wagons, they were able to build a stepped barrage dam in the shortest possible time.

The Tibetans were able to set up a barrage dam upstream, and Li Xuan was able to set up a barrage a little lower.

It's just that he didn't talk about the preparation of Qinling's subordinates for so long, and he could only use the stepped dam to store water in batches and reduce the water attack method of the Tubo people.

At the end of the day, even if there is a flow of water down the stepped dam, it is just a normal flow of water.

As long as Li Xuan finishes this, the water attack technique of Qinling will be completely dismantled.

But is it really that simple?

The battle in front of us has only just begun.

……

On the south bank of the Shazhuyu River, where the Tubo camp is held, the Qinling Tomb stands on a hillside, calmly looking at the direction of Qugou in the distance.

The cavalry of the brigade had already headed towards the Thirsty River, and the foot soldiers behind were slowly following up, and the distance between the two sides was slowly widening.

But it pulled a little fast.

On Qinling, for a while, it was a little difficult to see Liu Renliang's tactics, and the elite of the 20,000 Tang Army had already been deployed, and the 6,000 soldiers in the rear were pressed into formation.

In addition, in the invisible place of the Qin Tomb, Liu Renliang has more secret hand arrangements.

This is an opponent who makes Qin Ling extremely vigilant, because he knows very little about Liu Renliang and is very unfamiliar.

Although few people know about it in the Western Regions, seeing that he killed countless enemies as a civilian official, and now as the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, he personally led 25,000 troops to the Qingnan Basin, which is absolutely alarming.

The previous encounters, although very brief, were enough to make it clear to Lun Qinling that this was an opponent as cunning as a fox.

The most important thing is that under Liu Renliang's men, tens of thousands of troops do not have a second voice.

Unlike Da Feichuan back then, Guo Beifeng still dared to hold the emperor's trust and disobey the boss Xue Rengui.

Now in this Tang army, who dares to disobey Liu Renliang.

If you want to completely take down such a large army, it is simply unrealistic to expect the loose Tuyuhun people, but if you want the main force of Tubo to fight, without killing 350,000 people, you will definitely not be able to win this battle, but in that case, Tubo's national strength will be greatly damaged, and as far as he is concerned, Qinling's position in the country will be immediately challenged by all sides.

"Da Da Da!"

The two groups of cavalry came from the northeast direction, quickly approached the Lunqin Tomb, and after approaching, quickly jumped and dismounted.

The two Tibetan scouts quickly stepped forward, and then saluted to the Qinling Tomb and said, "Great Minister Qiqi, the Tang scouts have all been deployed, and our army is no longer able to explore the movements in its depths. ”

On Qinling turned sideways, nodded slightly, and said: "This is what it should mean, the Tang Boss just let us see the most superficial things, and his real killer feature will not let us see it." ”

After a slight pause, Non Qinling turned his head to look at the northwest, and said in a deep voice: "Order, Qingbei Metropolitan Protector Shang Jiezan leads the Tiger Division, Qingxi Metropolitan Protector and Gui Sheep Division, and immediately goes east, and in the Thirsty Bochuan River, to meet the Tang Army." ”

"Obey." The Tibetan scout saluted quickly, then turned, remounted his horse, and then hurried towards the northwest.

The Tibetan army was divided into the Eagle Division, the Elephant Division, the Tiger Division, the Lion Division, and the Sheep Division.

The Eagle Division guards Luo, which is the elite of the Tibetan elite, and rarely dispatches, but the soldiers are all selected from the other divisions to join.

The elephant master returned to the commander of the Tibetan Minister, that is, the commander of the Qinling.

The whole elephant master is the most important hole card in the hand of Qin Ling.

The Tiger Division and the Lion Division were distributed in various local departments and were the pillars of the Tibetan army, and they were generally the main force in battles with other countries.

As for the sheep division, Tuyuhun or other various races of the Tibetan government, select the army that is strong.

They were the most numerous and the least powerful in the entire Tibetan army system, but they were a servant army that could not be ignored.

This is the case with Su Hegui's sheep master.

Countless Tibetan scouts were at the mercy of the south bank of the Shazhuyu River, always watching the movements of the Tang army, and sending relevant information to the Lunqin Mausoleum at any time, as well as the hands of other Tibetan generals.

The same Tang cavalry was also staring at the Tubo cavalry on the south bank.

In Liu Renliang's eyes, the Tubo soldiers and Tuyuhun soldiers on the north bank have already caught fish on the chopping board, and what is really worth his attention is when Qinling will personally cut into the battlefield.

……

On the top of Nanshan Mountain in the distance, a goshawk flies high in the sky.

His eyes watched this fierce battle in the narrow basin that was more than 200 miles long from east to west and 70 miles long from north to south.

Although it was impossible to see more details, the movement of more than five hundred soldiers instantly caught Li Xuan's eyes.

Li Xuan has now led the army to the upper reaches of the third river, the Harteri River.

The river was straight and the banks were a little deeper, but the water inside was knee-high enough for foot soldiers, let alone cavalry.

If there is no cat in it, the ghosts don't believe it.

Li Xuan turned around, the previous two big rivers, the water volume of the river was much larger than that here, but the Tubo people did not do anything upstream.

Because those two rivers are too close to the Tang army camp.

Almost on the first day of the camp, the cavalry scouts had already rushed upstream, and after a detailed check inside and out, there was nothing.

At present, this river is outside the reconnaissance of the Tang Army scouts.

The Tibetan people have long set up dams in the upper reaches of the river, actively storing water, and preparing to open the dam for waterproofing at a critical moment.

The torrent rushed down in an instant, drowning countless people.

But this dam is not the most important killer weapon of the Tubo people, and it is more of a role for the Tubo people to intercept the retreat of the Tang army.

Their real killer features are in front of the two rivers: the Tavin and the Serge.

It is also the core area of the Thirsty Wave River, but the terrain is strangely low.

Wooden stakes were driven straight into the soft river, and then bags of straw filled with stones and dirt were stuffed between the stakes.

A small dam was immediately erected.

After leaving a gravel road in the middle, Li Xuan got up and quickly went up, heading further upstream of the Tawen River.

While moving forward, Li Xuan looked more than twenty miles away.

It seemed that faintly, he had heard a shout of killing.

Wang Xiaojie has already led his troops to fight with the Tubo people.

In a blink of an eye, Li Xuan was already moving forward with confidence.
