The army Pei Xin encountered was the Tibetan defenders in Qiongzhou, the main general was called Yiba, and he was instructed that if the main force of the enemy army was coming, he must immediately withdraw his troops back to Yazhou, but if it was a small Tang army, he could decide whether to annihilate the enemy army.

However, Shang Dongzan did not make clear the range of the number of small groups of enemy troops, if three or five hundred people are a small group of enemy troops, then three thousand people are not considered a small group of enemy troops, compared to tens of thousands of troops, three thousand people can indeed only be regarded as a small group of enemy troops.

The main general Yiba did not hesitate to make a decision, he wanted to block this forward army of 3,000 people and give the Tang army a head-on blow.

The previous victory of annihilating 20,000 Tang troops and the victory of killing the enemy army to abandon the city and flee have made the soldiers of the Tubo army a little carried away, as if all the Tang army was a weak brigade that was defeated in a battle, but they forgot that in Hexi, in Longyou, and in Anxi, it was the army in front of them that made them fart, and the national strength did not recover for many years.

From Linqiong County to the east is an endless field, which is also the place where Wang Qingyang's 20,000 troops were annihilated half a month ago, and the corpses have been burned and buried, but there are still stains of blood everywhere in the roadside grass.

The fact that the Tibetan army did not use the strategy of sneak attack is not that they are above board, but that their own combat characteristics make it easy for them to suffer losses when they use sneak attacks.

The Tubo army is very particular about the formation, they are mainly infantry, when they dealt with the Hui cavalry in Tocharo, they relied on a strict formation, the formation of the Tubo army was like a very dense hammer, the cavalry was difficult to break them up, they used shields and short swords to fight with the enemy close to each other, and the cavalry with tall men and horses may not be able to prevail.

In the wilderness, two thousand Tibetan troops had lined up in formation, looking murderously at a black line in the distance, three thousand cavalry had already been killed, and every Tibetan soldier's eyes flashed with cruel eyes, as if a wild beast saw a prey that was getting closer and closer.

When they were a mile away, Pei Xin ordered the army to stop, and he looked at the Tubo army in front of him that was compressed into a small black group, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Tubo people really didn't make progress, and they still wanted to use a dense formation to deal with the cavalry, but they didn't know that this move had already been cracked when they were in Longyou.

"Lao Yang, use the two dragons out of the water array to kill them first, and then use the cavalry to attack." Pei Xin said without hesitation.

Yang Xuanying nodded, and Pei Xin said to Zhonglang General Pang Yi: "You can lead a thousand cavalry to garrison, and you can attack when you hear my order!" ”

Pang Yi bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" ”

"The First Army is coming with me!" Pei Xin raised his gun and shouted.

Yang Xuanying also raised his gun and shouted: "The second army comes with me!" ”

Two thousand-man cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, under the leadership of the main general Pei Xin and the deputy general Yang Xuanying, slaughtered the enemy.

The 2,000 cavalry galloped and thundered, and when they gradually approached the enemy, they had already changed into riding bows, and suddenly opened their bows and arrows and shot at the Tibetan army dozens of paces away.

This is the Erlong Out of the Water Array, that is, the two archers take advantage of the cavalry advantage to launch a bow and arrow attack on the enemy.

The Tibetan soldiers raised their shields one after another to resist, but there were still soldiers who were shot by the dense arrows and fell to the ground screaming, and the two armies ran through the enemy formation, crossed again, turned around and came back to continue shooting.

After firing five rounds in a row, nearly two hundred people were shot and killed, and Pei Xin saw that the enemy's defense was tight and the bow and arrow could no longer expand the victory, he shouted: "The garrison army is attacking!" ”

"Whew-"

The low horn sounded, and the thousand cavalry stationed in the formation shouted, and under the leadership of Zhonglang General Pang Yi, they charged towards the Tubo army.

The horses' hooves were bursting, the yellow dust was rolling, and it was only in an instant that it was in front of the Tubo army, and hundreds of Tubo troops gathered together, holding shields to resist the impact of the cavalry.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the cavalry of the Tang Army and the Tubo Army collided suddenly, and more than a dozen Tubo soldiers were knocked into the air and flew more than ten zhang away.

The three war horses also broke their legs, and fell to the ground with a neigh, throwing out the three Tang cavalry, and the Tubo soldiers rushed up, slashing their swords together, killing the fallen soldiers.

Pang Yi's cavalry finally tore open a gap and killed it, but they only entered it for a dozen zhang, and they were stopped by the dense Tubo soldiers and could not be killed again.

At this time, Pei Xin's cavalry from the left, and Yang Xuanying's cavalry to the right, at the same time launched a fierce attack on the Tubo army's large array.

Both teams were extremely combat-ready armies, with the Tang cavalry being brave and well-trained, while the Tibetan soldiers were fierce and tenacious until they died.

This vicious battle was inextricable for a while, and the casualties on both sides accumulated, but in the end, the Tang army had the advantage in numbers, and it was cavalry, and the Tubo army gradually could not resist and could no longer maintain the formation, and the formation began to disperse, and the more scattered it became.

The advantage of the cavalry began to show, before the two sides were too close to each other, they could only fight closely, the cavalry of the Tang Army could not play an advantage, and now the cavalry used long weapons to fight against the short sword of Tubo, and took the advantage.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, the losses of the Tubo army were more than half, and the Tang army also suffered more than 500 casualties, but the Tubo army did not have the slightest intention of withdrawing, but became more fierce.

Pei Xin was furious and ordered: "Send out the order, kill them all!" ”

"Woo~Woo~" The low horn sounded hurriedly, which meant urging to speed up the battle, and the Tang army stepped up its offensive.

The previous fierce battle was three to two, three Tang soldiers fought two Tibetan soldiers, as the casualties on both sides increased, now two and a half battles and one Tibetan soldier, the Tang army's numerical advantage began to show.

Zhou Junyu killed three Tibetan soldiers today, but he was also injured, he met a fierce Tubo fifty chiefs, although he pierced the back of the other party's heart with a knife, but the other party did not dodge, desperately slashed his thigh, immediately the skin opened the flesh, the blood flowed like an injection, but did not hurt the upper leg artery, he took out a ball of hemostatic paste from the horse bag, chewed it and pasted it on his thigh, and pasted a plaster.

This is the hemostatic formula of the Tibetan Sword Building, hemostasis has a miraculous effect, was promoted by Guo Song, each soldier has a first-aid kit, the bag with five lychee-sized hemostatic ointment, is made of hemostatic herbs and donkey skin, when injured, put it in the mouth and chew it, and then paste it on the wound, with hemostasis, disinfection and astringent wound effect, in addition to the supporting thin plaster, which can be firmly adhered to the skin, the main role is to fix the hemostatic ointment.

This hemostatic ointment has a positive effect on saving soldiers' lives on the battlefield and preventing death from excessive blood loss, and can reduce the mortality rate by half.

Zhou Junyu bandaged the wound a little and continued to fight, at this time, he suddenly found the enemy commander, in the northwest corner of the Tubo army, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers to protect, his peculiar horn helmet made Zhou Junyu guess that he was the enemy commander.

Zhou Junyu galloped diagonally, took off his riding bow, pulled out a hooked wolf's tooth arrow engraved with his name, stretched out his bow and set up the arrow, found a hole in the enemy's concession, and aimed at the enemy's main commander and shot an arrow at the back of the neck.

This arrow is actually a sneak attack, and it will be laughed at if it is passed out, but Zhou Junyu doesn't care so much, his riding archery ranks fifth in Yanwutang, and he can already open the bow left and right, this arrow is the right hand holding the bow, which is his strength.

The Lord will be caught off guard by Ibba, 'Poof! An arrow struck him in the back of the neck, and a hooked arrow peeked through his throat, and the arrow pierced through his neck.

Yiba choked his throat, his body shook, and he fell off his horse, and by the time the soldiers picked him up, he was dead of exhaustion.

Although the death of the main general did not directly lead to the collapse of the entire Tubo army, it caused the Tubo army to lose its command, and the battle began to be chaotic, the defeat became more and more obvious, and the casualties became larger and larger.

Half an hour later, there were only more than 300 Tibetan soldiers left, and a 500-man commander shouted, wanting to lead the remnants of the army to break through, Pei Xin saw his intention and shouted: "Surround them, don't allow them to break through!" ”

Yang Xuanying hurriedly suggested: "General, it's better to let them escape, we will chase and kill them behind, and the casualties of the brothers will be much smaller!" ”

Pei Xin suddenly woke up, immediately changed the order, let the Tubo soldiers leave, the Tang cavalry opened a gap, the Tubo 500 people saw an opportunity, he immediately led more than 300 soldiers to rush out of the encirclement and flee south.

Pei Xin sneered and gave an order, "Pursue, don't leave a single one, kill them all!" ”

The cavalry pursued and killed, the speed of the war horse far exceeded the legs, and the cavalry of the Tang Army assassinated and chopped in the gallop, only running out of a few miles, and more than 300 Tubo soldiers who broke through the siege were all killed.

In this battle, all the 2,000 Tibetan soldiers were killed, and there was not a single prisoner of war, and the cavalry of the Tang Army also killed 370 people and wounded more than 260 people, basically killing 3,000 enemies and losing 800 of their own money.

Zhou Junyu was still rebandaging his wounds, and a soldier rushed forward and said, "Captain Zhou, General Pei asked you to pass." ”

Zhou Junyu simply bandaged the wound and limped to Pei Xin with the soldier.

He was about to kneel down on one knee and salute in pain, but Pei Xin stopped him, he raised his eyebrows, "Are you injured?" ”

"I was stabbed in the thigh, but it was just a little flesh and skin, and it didn't get in the way."

Pei Xin could see that it was also a minor injury, and if he hurt his muscles and bones, he would not be able to walk at all.

He nodded and said, "The other party will be shot by you!" The arrow in the throat has your name on it. ”

"It's a shame to be humiliated, it's a sneak attack from behind, and you can't find a chance in the front."

Pei Xin was solemn: "Killing the enemy never talks about means, only looks at the victory or defeat, and cannot be pedantic!" ”

Zhou Junyu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "General Xie taught!" ”

Pei Xin nodded again and said, "According to the rules of the army, since you shot the enemy chieftain, then today's first credit will be yours." ”
