For the cavalry, the fifteen-mile road was instantaneous, and in less than half an hour, a large cloud of dust could be seen with the naked eye in the west. The size of this group of cavalry will not be less than a thousand, and a small army cannot step on so much dust.

"My lord, I don't look like Xia Jun, it's too far away to see clearly." I don't know when I climbed the watchtower, holding a telescope to act as a lookout.

"Boss, you won't be afraid, right? No matter who comes, don't even think about getting close to half a minute until you've run out of stuff. Come down and stop scaring the kids. ”

To be honest, Hong Tao also had a little drum in his heart. Statistically, the density of firepower coverage of this new army is indeed very high, and the enemy cannot rush in no matter what method he uses. But sometimes the data can also deceive people, and the actual combat is often different from the exercise.

But this emotion can't be revealed in the slightest, and you have to pretend to be very calm. The soldiers don't know so much data or anything, but they will observe what they say, and once the main general panics, the people below will be even more uncertain.

"The last general has embarrassed the adults, and I don't know why, it's always not very practical to come out this time." His face was flushed when he was told to die, especially when he saw Wang Da's eyes, he was even more embarrassed. Compared with these children and servants, he is also the master of the Praetorian Guard, and he has never fought, how can he be so unbearable.

"I don't blame you this time, new things always have a process of familiarity and habit. But don't have a next time, you should adapt faster than others. Come, come to the car, and help the officer see what those people are all about. ”

Hong Tao can understand that people's bravery is not innate, and only fools are born who are not afraid of death. His panic was due to a lack of confidence in the new army and in his own manager, who seemed to have some two knives, and after a few victories, it was naturally dispelled.

Not only was Hong Tao nervously watching, but there were also many people standing at the west gate of Liangzhou City, also looking at the smoke and dust in the distance. They had no binoculars, so they had to put their hands on the pergola and discern with the naked eye, trying to discern which unit the riders under the smoke and dust on the west side belonged to.

"Lord Thorn Shi, there will be a bad feeling in the end, the Buddha may have abandoned us...... "Sometimes, experience is more advanced than equipment. The deputy town guard of Liangzhou City was the first to have an answer, and looked at Liang Yiqi next to him with a dead face.

"What do you mean by that?" Liang Yiqi really wanted to kick this guy out of the city, not to mention boosting morale at this time and now, how could he still say such unlucky words.

"That's the Qingtang soldiers of Tubo, if the last general is not dazzled, the enemy general is Qingyi Jiegui Zhang, the first fierce general in Qingtang! At the end of that year, he would have fought with him in Ganzhou. The deputy town guard really didn't say nonsense, he couldn't see the other party's clothes clearly, but he saw a more familiar flag.

The battle flags of the various ethnic groups in Tibet are different from those of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and are more like the scepters used in the production, and they are also inlaid with various animal skulls. Each commander and each general is different in color and skull type.

"Could it be that Lord Townguard didn't stop Dong Yu!" After listening to the words of the deputy town guard, Liang Yiqi also looked dead. Just the army outside the city whose origin is still unknown is enough for Liangzhou to suffer, and the consequences of adding the cavalry of the Tubo people can be imagined.

"If you don't dislike it, the last general is willing to live and die with the city here, and I hope that the adult will take care of my clan after returning to the Eastern Capital, and the last general doesn't want to let the people be slaves......"

The deputy guard was not afraid, or he was not in the mood to be afraid. As a soldier, it is not unjust to die on the battlefield, but because of this, the clan is sorry for the ancestors' spirits in the sky.

According to the rules of the Xia people, the tribe that has lost its warriors will be swallowed up by other large races, his hometown is here, once defeated, his vitality will definitely be greatly damaged, if he can keep Liang Yiqi to escape, there is still a glimmer of hope for revival.

“…… This official is the history of the Western Liang Thorn, and no matter how many cities the court handed over, one cannot be lost in the hands of this official. If the Buddha really abandoned us, then it would be better to use this life to clear the shame of the family. Don't say more, this official will take his own army to guard Xicheng, and the general will quickly arrange it, and he will not be allowed to surrender until the last person fights. The messenger sent to the eastern capital for help had already set out a few hours ago, and it was not yet known who would kill the deer! ”

may be genetic, Empress Dowager Liang is fighting her way out of all kinds of hardships, and she has the same attitude when she comes to her nephew, who has courage and action and is not easy to despair.

"Dong Yu is here? It's so fast! Don't be gullible, anyone who approaches without my orders is an enemy! Just when Liang Yiqi was planning to live and die with Liangzhou City, he finally recognized who was coming. Hong Tao was not happy at all when he heard the news, but frowned.

The Tubo people are very unreliable, they are used to being the grass on the wall, who stipulates that they will not defect on the battlefield? The main reason for this concern is that they came a little early. Western Xia also deployed a lot of troops on the Tibetan border, and even if Dong Yu could fight again, it was unlikely that he would win in a few days.

This battle is really troublesome, in addition to the enemy has to guard against traitors, sometimes allies will also become pig teammates, more damage than the enemy.

From a distance, this group of cavalry was a mess, but in fact, there were different formations between them. He explained a lot to Hong Tao, but he couldn't really understand and remember much, not to mention that it was more difficult to train cavalry than infantry.

In addition to the formation, the Tibetans also arranged for sentinels such as scouts, who were generally several miles ahead of the larger troops. At this time, the Tibetan tanma was chasing each other with the special forces, and neither side knew anyone, and it was the first reaction to treat them as enemies.

At this time, you can see the difference between the natural cavalry and the acquired cavalry, although the special forces have scorpion crossbows that can be used on horseback, as well as hard armor, but they still can't take advantage of it, and they are chased all over the mountains, which is very embarrassing.

Fortunately, the Tubo people had not lost their minds, and after discovering this strange car formation, they slowed down, watched from a distance for a while, and immediately sent someone to return to the large army to report.

It is estimated that even a fool can see that the chariot array is fighting against Liangzhou City, and those corpses, smoking towers and damaged city walls all tell the intensity of the previous battle.

So the Tubo people cautiously stopped advancing three miles away, their choice was exactly the same as that of the Xia people, and soon sent a small group of people, also holding banners, to inquire about the situation, trying to find out who this chariot formation was, friendly or enemy.

This time, Hong Tao didn't let the new army attack the other party's envoys again, since he knew that it was Dong Yu's person, it would be a bit troublesome to do it again, and he would deliberately look for trouble.

But he didn't let the other party get too close to the position of the new army, and he was the envoy of the new army, but he only had one, and he didn't have a flag in his hand, but he held the official certificate of the Huangzhou Jingluo pacification envoy.

The envoys of the two sides got together and chatted for less than a quarter of an hour before they returned to the formation, and told Hong Tao that it was indeed Qingtang soldiers and horses, and the leading generals were Dong Yu and his first fierce general, Qingyi.

It is not without reason that Dong Yu can be the king and hegemon in the Qingtang area, and he has a very good set of wars. He asked his adopted son A Guduo to capture Renduoquan City with the main force, and was fighting with Liangzhou reinforcements.

But this was not all his main force, and there was a Tubo cavalry of less than 10,000 people who secretly descended the plateau and took advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides to enter Liangzhou City.

"Du Nima is not stupid, one is more than a thief!"

Needless to explain, Hong Tao also understood that the purpose of the Tubo people was to raid this unprepared city. If they succeeded, they outflanked the Liangzhou reinforcements from behind. If it failed, it retreated to the plateau to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the Great Song Dynasty court couldn't say anything wrong. It's not too much of a loss inside and out, and once you make it, it's a big profit.

"The official won't go to see him, or you will bring a word, just say that we have collapsed the south gate of Liangzhou. Now it is better to join forces to enter the city together, the Qingtang soldiers to the west, the new army to the east, and then meet in the inner city after the whole city is defeated. ”

With reinforcements, you can't just watch yourself, don't you also want Liangzhou City, then you have to do something. As for who this city will belong to in the end, it is too early to talk about it, and no one can return to Western Xia, so everything has to wait until the city is taken down.

What Liangzhou City has become is not necessary to say that everyone can see it, since it is confirmed that it is a friendly army, there is a cheap place to take advantage of, Dong Yu is not hypocritical, and he accepted this gift very happily.
