In April of the 26th year of Taiping, the Qinghui border battlefield.

Cao Mengbo personally led an army of 20,000 to line up.

Qian Shaoyou also led the Tibetan soldiers to meet them in a formation five hundred meters away.

The main generals on both sides, Cao Mengbo and Qian Shaoyou appeared separately.

Cao Mengbo looked at the young general in front of him, and the aura of the rivers and lakes exuded by his body, and guessed a few points: "It is rumored that the young master of the previous dynasty has always lived in a simple place, and recently in order to boost morale, he personally took command of the battle, and wanted to use the benefits of the first battle to boost morale, I don't know if your Excellency is a general, or the young master?"

Qian Shaoyou asked rhetorically, "Who does General Cao think is below?"

Cao Mengbo said: "You are the royal family of the previous dynasty, and this aura is not the aura that a general should have." ”

Qian Shaoyou sneered: "General Cao is a martial artist, but he also knows it. I heard that since the two armies faced each other, there were only six battles between you and me, and most of them were in a stalemate. Yesterday I just arrived with this war letter, and today General Cao came to the appointment, I don't know if it's sincere?"

Cao Mengbo said with a smile: "The young master is here in person, and it is a pity not to go to the appointment." My Huizhou army is strong and strong, the northern battlefield has been opened, and the second realm of Qinghui is just waiting for an opportunity, since the young master is so anxious, then Cao is better to obey his fate than to compete with you on this battlefield. ”

Qian Shaoyou mocked: "General Cao is wise, if he can capture me, it will be more than a great achievement." ”

Cao Mengbo said calmly: "Since the young master dares to come out, he must be fully prepared. The strength of the Tibetan soldiers Cao is still clear, and it is not easy to capture the young master alive. ”

Qian Shaoyou said with a look in his eyes: "But the Tibetan soldiers behind me, when they have been recuperating for a long time, it is very simple to step on your camp." ”

"Really?" Cao Mengbo said with a smile: "The young master is young and frivolous, and he is full of ambition. Why don't you come to see the real chapter today, you and me, each send 3,000 cavalry to kill, the winner has a long morale, and the loser knows enough, how about it?"

Qian Shaoyou frowned, this Cao Mengbo actually took the initiative to ask to compare the combat power of the army, which is really rare. Most of the Tibetan troops survived from the border and the Xirong army, and their faces naturally had a murderous aura, and if the cavalry rushed to kill, it was even more commonplace. The Huizhou army has lived in a stable place for a long time, and the cavalry is definitely not a strong point, and Cao Mengbo's request is undoubtedly to seek defeat.

Qian Shaoyou asked: "Since they are all here, why doesn't General Cao let these soldiers rush to kill, whether they are dead or alive, and leave it to fate." ”

Cao Mengbo's face changed slightly, and he said: "Presumably, the young master is also curious about why the former commander, General Zhu Gang, has the elite of Tibetan soldiers but does not dare to rush to send troops, and he has doubts about the combat strength of my Huizhou army. Wouldn't it be better to kill today and relieve the young master's doubts?"

Qian Shaoyou said: "I'm afraid that General Cao thought that he was invincible, and wanted to exchange the lowest losses for today's battle, and after seeing the strength of my Tibetan troops, he ordered the army to continue to strictly guard the pass, so the trick was repeated." ”

Cao Mengbo sneered: "How is the young master better than Zhu Gang? If you really think that there is a huge disparity in eyesight, you can order to rush and kill now, and Cao Mengbo will follow." ”

Cao Mengbo was originally half of the people in the rivers and lakes, and now he has shown his murderous aura, and the black-hoofed horse under Qianshaoyou's seat suddenly moved, and he has a great tendency to fight. Qian Shaoyou found out that Cao Mengbo's self-confidence was not like pretending, presumably there were martial arts masters in the Huizhou army, if he rushed forward, he was afraid that the troops would be lost in vain.

You might as well follow what Cao Mengbo said, first pick 3,000 elite soldiers to fight, and then make another plan after seeing the strength.

Thinking of this, Qian Shaoyou said: "General Cao was also a person in the rivers and lakes, since he intended to compete first in the form of a competition in the rivers and lakes, Shaoyou was also quite interested, so he followed General Cao." ”

"Thank you. Cao Mengbo said indifferently: "Then how about asking the young master to return to the formation to select candidates, and after half an hour, we will compete again?"

Qian Shaoyou sneered: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Cao Mengbo and Qian Shaoyou were both martial arts people, so it is natural not to be ruthless, but it is worth discussing how the two sides have their own means of commanding troops.

...... Seek the magic TXT

Half an hour later, each of the two armies sent 3,000 cavalry.

As soon as the cavalry of Tibet appeared, there was a proud murderous aura, and the war horses under the seat neighed secretly, looking a little excited.

Thinking about it, as soon as the cavalry of Huizhou came out, it was even more calm, except for the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, there was nothing else.

Cao Mengbo pulled out the general's sword, and Qian Shaoyou also drew it.

The commander-in-chief's orders on the battlefield are equally crucial.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The two of them gave an order, and a louder deafening shout of killing continued for a long time.

The weapons on both sides collided, three thousand and three thousand, and the Huizhou cavalry suddenly changed their formation and surrounded the three thousand Tibetan soldiers in the middle.

Qian Shaoyou looked at this scene coldly, he didn't understand the battlefield formation, but these Tibetan cavalry were all experienced in a hundred battles and knew all kinds of formations, but they were not afraid.

The Huizhou army, which surrounded the Tibetan soldiers, took off their swords and took off the short spears behind their backs, and with just one turn, the sound of iron weapons rang out, and the short guns turned into long spears, stabbing at the Tibetan cavalry in the middle.

With this stab, no matter how good the cavalry on the periphery is, it will not escape its fate.

However, the Tibetan soldiers in a circle here have been prepared to deal with it because of the protection of these Tibetan soldiers on the periphery, and when the Tibetan soldiers on the periphery fell into their horses, the Tibetan soldiers in this area suddenly tightened the distance, and the shouts of killing started again, and the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry rushed out of a hole in one direction in one go.

But they did not take advantage of this to go out, but in a very short time, the front team turned into a rear team and continued to rush in one direction.

The Huizhou army held a spear, but it was at a disadvantage in an instant, and the Tibetan soldiers in front did not hesitate to block the tip of the spear with their bodies, and then the encirclement of the Huizhou cavalry was greatly destroyed.

Tibetan soldiers have a tradition of being brave enough to be wounded. Since you can't dodge, you take the initiative to catch up, let the enemy's sharp weapon stab you where it is not fatal, and then help your brother kill the enemy.

This is a tactic, and it is also the ruthlessness that the Tibetan soldiers have honed during their long time on the border.

Only this rush kills, and the victory and defeat have been divided.

The Huizhou cavalry was divided and could only fight and retreat.

After the cavalry of the two sides finished charging and killing, they returned to their respective camps.

There were far more corpses of the Hui cavalry on the battlefield than those of the Tibetan cavalry, but more than half of the Tibetan cavalry were wounded.

Qian Shaoyou frowned, there was no accident, just about the number of deaths, the Tibetan army won.

But Cao Mengbo asked: "On the battlefield, the weapons are ruthless, and those who are seriously injured cannot fight again." The young master thinks that this battle is better or worse?"

Qian Shaoyou sneered: "It's a pity that those who die don't have a chance to go to the battlefield again." General Cao is good at doing it himself, tomorrow, the Tibetan soldiers will kill, and the corpses of the Hui army left on this battlefield are afraid that there will be more. ”

At the same time, he also grieved for the brothers who died today, they were all dead soldiers, just to let the Tibetan soldiers relax their vigilance and lure the enemy deeper tomorrow.
