In the northwest land, there are many hills and low bushes, and the Xia Kingdom invaded the border and arrived at Shifengkou and the north of Tianzhu City, and most of the large and small tribes living nearby moved into Tianzhu City.

Those who did not have time to go, or were too far away from the city, were swept away one by one by the Tang army's scouts and light cavalry, or avoided the mountains and forests, and the original inhabitants of the villages were burned by fire, leaving a desolate black scorch mark on the brown hills and plains.

In the shadows of the forest are the scouts of the Northwest Liang Kingdom on horseback, wearing common felt armor, looking at the movements of the Xia Kingdom forwards here.

Scouts like him, there are hundreds of people scattered in Shifengkou to run back and forth, spying every day, or fighting with the Tang army scouts, for the terrain, they have an advantage, but once they fight, as a northwest hunter born Fangdang tribe scouts, they found that they are not the opponent of the Tang army scouts at all.

The opponent's whole body is full of weapons, bows, crossbows, war knives, small shields, leather armor and thick cotton clothes, as long as the opponent's scouts can't be shot in the neck and head, the Tang army's scouts still have a chance to counterattack.

For several days in a row, he lost as many as dozens of excellent hunters, but he still returned to Tianzhu City with important information, Fangdangcuo didn't see the news, and he was hesitant at first, but as the news spread, several leaders of the Fangdang tribe came over one by one to ask for battle.

A few days ago, more than 15,000 people of the tribe were defeated and defeated, and it was a big joke in the eyes of other tribes.

"Fang Dangcuo, you are our big leader, you have seen the emperor! If we can't even stop the 20,000 forwards of the Xia Kingdom, in the future, the tribes of the Xifeng Clan, the Fei Ting Clan, and the Xiang Li Clan will look down on us even more, and they won't be able to raise their heads in front of the emperor! ”

"Even if you can't beat it, at least let the people of Xia Guo see that the northwest house is not afraid of death!"

"It's not a shame to stop them here and drag reinforcements from the emperor and other tribes."

Several tribal leaders came over to make such a fuss, and Fang Dang, who was originally hesitant, shook his fist and smashed the armrest of the chair to stand up, and the idea of sticking to the city was temporarily pressed back, and he looked at the several strong tribal leaders in front of him, and his eyes widened angrily.

"Okay, then let the people of Xia Guo see how powerful the Northwest Fang is as a hunter! But ......"

The words paused here for a moment, and then he said, "...... Hard-hitting, I have already learned the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom, those two veterans marched and set up the army, much stronger than us, and they couldn't fight them directly.

But the news that came back today is that the striker of Xia Guo is actually divided into three roads, twenty miles northwest of our side, and there is also a forward camp. The scout came to report that the leader of the army was a young general of the Xia Kingdom, and this was a good opportunity to cheer up the tribal warriors. ”

"The meaning of the big boss is broken one by one?!"

"Use the art of war of the Central Plains to attack this army, and then one of you will set up an ambush and rush to reinforce the other two Xia State forwards!"

Although the tribes in the northwest are still in a primitive state, it does not mean that they are not informed by the outside world, and they often go to Dadu to visit the emperor, listen to some news about the Central Plains or the Qi State, and occasionally turn to the military book.

In the last year or two, the emperor wants to reform the military system, and the Fangdang tribe is one of the tribes that strongly supports it.

It was agreed that after nightfall, each of the three tribes selected a thousand warriors, and from each of the other small tribes selected two hundred to five hundred soldiers, forming a scale of five thousand, and then led by two Fangdang tribal slave generals, after drinking water and meat, they brought bows and arrows, put on leather armor, white uniforms, and standard Xiliang knives.

Leading the war horse wrapped in the horse's hooves, under the dark night, quietly came out of the rammed earth and rocky earth building.

……

The hill twenty miles northwest of Tianzhu City is the camp of one of the vanguard Tang Army, this time to enter the Liang State, the advance of the Western Route Army was divided into three units, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong each led one.

The number of troops stationed here is very small, only 2,000 people, and the total number of 500 light cavalry is only 2,500 people.

Above the night sky, a bright lantern floats into the night sky.

In the camp of the Don army on this hill, the archers on the sentry tower saw the light and gestured to the soldiers patrolling below, and then someone hurried to the big tent in the camp.

Inside the curtain, a figure sat behind a simple long case, even if it was sitting on a chair, it was like a hill that made people's hearts beat.

"General, Kong Ming's lantern is in the sky, and the brothers outside have found that there is movement in Tianzhu City."

After listening to the report of the soldiers, he got up from his seat, his iron armor rubbed against the unique 'squeak' sound of metal, his eyebrows were like swords stuck in his temples, and his eyes were shining like tigers lurking in the night.

There is a golden belt around his waist, and a huge golden tiger head in the middle, making a roar of teeth.

This No. 1 general of the Xia Kingdom is nineteen years old this year, and his physique is different from ordinary people, and he is as tall as a mountain.

was struck by the thunder back then, and his mind has gradually matured in the past two years, and he was still a little childish in previous years, which has faded from his face, and he looks like a veteran general who has been battled on the battlefield.

But the scratches on the armor on his body, and the aura of conquest emanating from his body, showed that he himself had unimaginable force.

"After staying here for a long time, we finally let the other party notice us, fortunately, these northwest barbarians know a little bit of the art of war, otherwise it is really not easy for them to be fooled."

Li Xuanba walked to the tent and looked at the dark sky, a light floated in the night sky in the distance, and he thought it was a star if he didn't pay attention to it.

"It's finally time to fight, let the brothers prepare, no matter how many people come, let's eat it in one go, and we won't give it to Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong!"

Speaking of this, he looked feverishly at the soldiers on the side.

"According to the previous plan, let them attack and then flank inside and outside."

The soldier nodded and gave up his hand, and immediately took Li Xuanba's general order and rushed away, conveying the order to all levels of the camp.

"There's finally a battle to be fought."

With a mutter, Li Xuanba turned around and walked back to the tent, grabbed a pair of sledgehammers from the ground, and touched them.

In a moment, the camp moved quietly.

……

There are no stars and moons in the night sky tonight, and the five thousand people who came out of Tianzhu City are like a mighty river, and it is difficult to see the beginning and end of the night in the mountains and forests and fields.

Familiar with the terrain and moving in the mountains all year round, even though it is dark, they can also move slowly in the woods, grass and trees, I don't know how long it has been.

I saw the camps with mottled bonfires on the hills in the distance.

Along the way, the experienced hunter sneaked quickly, but did not find any secret whistles, and the news was transmitted back to the hands of the two slave generals, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Sure enough, I am young, and I can sit back and relax after a few victories!"

"You go to steal the camp, I'll go to ambush!" When the other servant had said this, he led two thousand men out of the ranks and went to the eastern foot of the hill to set up an ambush.

And the slave general named Fang Dangzang Suo here, led three thousand tribesmen to continue to approach, looking at the speckled firelight, occasionally a few figures patrolling the Tang army village, and on the newly erected sentry tower, there were also archers guarding, but standing there motionless.

"Good chance!"

Fang Dangzang Suo silently counted the alternate time of the patrol soldiers, and waited for another half an hour before gesturing to the people behind, and a group of soldiers crouched on the ground, holding weapons, and slowly approached the front behind him.

When approaching the range of the torch light of the sentry tower, a tribal soldier who was good at shooting quickly stepped forward with an arrow on the string, raised his hunting bow and aimed at the Tang army on the sentry tower is an arrow.

The moment the arrow was fired, a group of tribal soldiers who were crouching in the darkness followed Fang Dangzang Suo to stand up, holding spears and Xiliang knives, and rushed towards the gate with all their might.

At the same time as the figure on the sentry tower fell, the dense figure rushed into the light range of the sentry tower, and dozens or hundreds of people worked together to break open the gate, and the cry of killing resounded in the surging soldiers: "Kill-"

Fangdang's 3,000 tribesmen roared savagely, rushed into the camp, flew over according to the tents, and slashed indiscriminately with their knives, however, the blade waved a few times, and there was no touch of slashing people's bodies, and some tribesmen picked up the collapsed tents, and there was nothing inside, and their faces suddenly changed.

In the tribal language of the Northwest, he shouted: "No one! ”

Immediately after, the rest of the people also opened their tents and shouted, "There is no one here either!" ”

"What?!"

Hearing the information sent back by the soldiers in front, Fang Dangzang's expression, which was still near the gate, also changed, "Quickly pass the order, let the people inside come out immediately!" ”

As soon as the words fell, in the darkness around the camp, dense firelight lit up, and then flew into the sky and fell into the barracks, and the rockets touched the tents and people's bodies, and immediately burst into flames.

"Kill!"

The sound of Xia Chinese's shouting also rose in an instant, and the Tang soldiers swarmed out from all over the camp, draining the fire camp and the Fangdang tribesmen who were stranded outside.

The next moment, there was a buzz in the air, and there was a loud sound in the air. Fang Dangzang's force is not weak, and the moment the voice came, he turned his head on horseback and looked in front of him, and the dense crowd screamed, and was ploughed out of a ravine, flying towards this side.

He jumped high on the horseback, and the sound of flesh and bone colliding sounded with the slam of the war horse under the seat, and the body of the war horse suddenly stirred up a layer of blood mist in the shape of a horse to fill the air, and the entire huge horse body slid out stiffly sideways.

Fang Dangzang locked the ground steadily, holding the Xiliang knife, looking at the horse corpse in front of him, a round giant hammer was still shaking on the ground, and in the darkness ahead, a tall and mighty body, holding a sledgehammer in one hand, led hundreds of soldiers out of the forest shadows.

A pair of tiger-eyed men looked at him fiercely.

"A group of barbarians also learn the art of war?!"

The combat boots that stepped on the ground smashed a stone, and when the battle sounded all around, Li Xuanba raised his left hand and pressed it down, and the hundreds of guards behind him held weapons and formed a formation, and slammed into the chaotic queue of the other party.

Li Xuanba's hand beat the drum urn and the golden hammer in his hand 'buzzed' in the air and waved, his body soared suddenly, and the second foot he stepped out kicked the ground violently, and the mighty figure suddenly ran out and crashed directly into the opposite array.

The tribal soldiers on the opposite side seemed to be trampled by thousands of troops, and they were knocked over, and Li Xuanba crashed through the crowd, with a faint aura of blood and courage on his body.

- The more you fight, the braver you get!

There is a room when the tribesmen pounced, and they were hit by the high-speed armored body and flew back, and the Fang Dang hidden lock near the gate looked at the rampaging Xia Guomeng in the crowd, and his eyes widened, and one by one the tribesmen fell in the route of the other party, or were lifted into the air, and the feeling of panic suddenly hit his heart.

In the firelight, the swords and spears were staggered, the blood kept flying, the stump of the person held the knife and lifted it, the human body flew up, and for a short time, the ferocious impact was an illusion that was difficult to resist.

Woohoo!!

The hammer swung sideways, slashed, and hit left and right, Li Xuanba charged in the array of more than a thousand people at a very fast speed, and in his young, handsome and vicious look, the killing intent in his eyes became more and more intense, and his majestic voice was like a tiger's roar.

"Kill!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, the guards who followed broke out almost the same roar: "Kill! ”

Five hundred guards broke through the crowd, blocked the back road for their own generals, pushed away the layers of tribal soldiers, and Li Xuanba, who was advancing in front, also swept a hammer at this moment, smashed the weapons stabbed around, and jumped up while running.

The tiger's roar resounded in the night sky.

"Bring the head!"

Above the air, Li Xuanba jumped over the spear and knife below like a cannonball, and the drum urn and golden hammer in his hand 'buzzed' through the air, and the moment he landed, the hammer smashed down angrily from top to bottom, and the original 'buzzing' whistling sound instantly turned into a roaring roar.

Fang Dangzang's pupils constricted, this hammer was a person who didn't dare to pick it up, he didn't even think about turning around and running, the figure fell in mid-air, and the hammer in his hand also smashed down angrily.

Rumble!

The hammer shook the ground, instantly stirring up a circle of qi waves that spread out in a circle against the ground, and the fleeing Fang Dangzang lock was the first to be lifted to the ground, and his calves were twisted and bent in a posture, hanging under his legs.

The surrounding tribal soldiers were almost the same as him, their calves were broken by the shock, and only the flesh and skin were still connected.

In the dark night, Fang Dangzang writhed and wailed on the ground, and the weapon in his hand did not know where it fell.

"I ...... I surrender......" he hurriedly stammered in a little Yanguo dialect that he only knew.

In the firelight, Li Xuanba grinned, revealing a hideous ferociousness.

"I don't accept disabled generals."

In the next second, the hammer slammed into the opponent's head, touching the ground.

……

To the east of the camp, another tribal slave general was setting up in the forest, waiting for the Xia soldiers and horses to come to the rescue, however, he soon saw the camp in the west burning.

"The hidden lock has burned the camp of the pioneers of the Xia Kingdom, and the other two vanguard soldiers and horses should come soon!"

After waiting for a while, the sound of footsteps running in the darkness, coming from the west, made the Nu General look puzzled, and then the sound of running footsteps became more and more.

The slave general who felt that something was wrong let people shoot a rocket, and the aisle where the fire fell down the foot of the mountain, it was a dense crowd of Fangdang tribesmen, who were fleeing in panic, and there were thousands of people, how could they escape so embarrassed, and I didn't hear a large-scale Xia State soldiers and horses chasing and killing behind.

Could it be, or is there something else chasing them?

After a few breaths, everyone in the ambush saw a tall figure standing there with a pair of sledgehammers in the range of the swaying light of the rockets falling on the ground, looking down at the rockets on the ground, and then raised his fierce face and looked into the forest.

The slave general swallowed, and his face turned pale.

…… One person runs after a thousand people.
