In the night, a fire dragon twisted and rolled on the mountain road in Huangzhou.

The topography of Huangzhou, as mentioned above, is a plateau and mountains that seem to have no boundary. There are many river valleys and valleys in the mountains, and there are also some highlands with gentle slopes that can be used to build terraces, which are the settlements of the Qiang tribe of the feudal people. The communication between the various feudal domains and the Qiang tribe was not an official road with good road conditions, but a winding way between the mountains and the highlands, and sometimes it was necessary to climb over some gently steep hills, which looked quite close from the map, and it was tiring to break your legs when you really walked.

And as soon as you get out of Anxiang Pass, it is basically the control area of the Tubo tribe that belongs to Doropa. On every mountain, in every canyon, there may be an ambush of the Tibetans. At any time, a short but fierce battle could break out.

The 8,000 forbidden officers and soldiers who came from Kaifeng Mansion actually advanced at the speed of a rapid march on such a rugged mountain road full of dangers, and it was a night march with stars and moons. In order to be ready for battle, all the house slave warriors were dressed in iron armor and carried bows and arrows, half of them were armed with spears to defend against the cavalry of the clan that might appear at any time, and the other half were armed with swords and shields, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat or attack the enemy on the hillside.

The knights, all dressed in leather armor and carrying horses on their backs, with buffalo horns and bows and feathered arrows, marched at the forefront of the procession.

Gao Yu was also among the knights, he also wore heavy armor, and carried no bow and arrows or spears, but only a decorative sword. His real weapon was carried by the two Gao family generals who came out of the door, which was a full 400 house deeds! The property corresponding to these 400 deeds is worth at least 1.2 million yuan in the current Kaifeng Mansion!

Now the main source of motivation for this army of stars and moons, risking the appearance of an enemy at any moment, is undoubtedly these 400 house deeds.

Behind Gao Yu was the house slave warrior wearing heavy armor and walking with torches, and these fierce men under the torches all saw that their favorite house deed was carried on Gao Taiwei's body, and everyone's pace couldn't help but speed up a little, and everyone was looking forward to the small force of the Tubo people in their hearts to appear soon - the head that grew on the necks of those Tubo people was not a head, but a tenth of the house deed! If you can cut the head of a leader, then you can directly exchange it for a deed that the people of Kaifeng Mansion love the most!

Good boys of Tibet, don't sleep, hurry up and come out to fight.

These fierce men who were looking forward to the appearance of the warriors of the domain did not know that in Bajin City, 30 miles away from Anxiang Pass (a straight line distance, it takes at least forty or fifty miles to walk around the mountain), the three sons of the Tubo Haoqiang Duoluopa, who ruled Huangzhou, were also planning how to cut off the heads of the weak soldiers of Feng!

The so-called Bajin City is actually a cottage built on a mountainous area.

The Kingdom of Tsongkha Tubo is actually a cottage kingdom, and only the four cities of Qingtang City, Zongge City, Miaochuan City and Lijing City are a bit of a city. Among them, Qingtang City is the city built by the Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion, occupies a circle of 20 miles, there are eight city gates, the city is divided into two cities, the west city is the royal city, the east city is the commercial and handicraft area, the famous Qing Tang Dynasty Qizi Jia is out of the east city of the Qing Tang City.

Ba Jin City is a typical cottage, located on a mountain beam called Ba Jin Ling. The terrain is very steep, there are moats on all sides, and the road up and down the mountain beam is very narrow, making it difficult for the army to deploy. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack to the extreme!

However, this kind of cottage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack often has a fatal shortcoming, that is, when it is built, it usually only considers the "risk" and ignores the "want". Ba Jin City is like this, although it is steep and difficult to overcome, it is not stuck on the main road of the Song army's advance. The Song army could have gone around the city, and at the same time blocked the road to Ba Jinling with a small force, leaving Ba Jin City to fend for itself.

Although Bajin City has a lot of reserves, those who have been besieged for a year or two have to starve to ghosts.

Moreover, the Tibetan Haoqiang Doropa in Huangzhong has always had the illusion of rejecting the enemy from the country. Otherwise, he would not have sent his three sons, Aling, Kordor, and Amun, to Bajin City.

And just ten days after Ah Lingjie, Duo Ma Ling and Ah Meng led their troops to Ba Jin City, an incredible good news reached Ba Jin City, the Song court didn't know what medicine was taken wrong, and actually sent a weak forbidden army from Kaifeng Mansion to give the good man of Tubo a head!

Although the Huangzhong Domain had not fought against the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, they had also heard from their Western Xia allies how vulnerable these Han forbidden armies that grew up in the gentle and wealthy city were.

I heard that their infantry was too weak to fight for a long time, and they were as timid as chickens, and they knew that they were afraid of death when they went to battle!

And their cavalry is even more ridiculous, most of them do not know how to ride! When fighting, he always falls off his horse.

In addition, the forbidden army of Kaifeng City always brought a lot of goods to the battlefield! If you take them, you will win a lot of copper coins and silks, which is tantamount to making a fortune!

The generals of the domain, who were originally a little demoralized, suddenly came to their senses, and they were all gearing up, ready to harvest the heads of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army.

And Ah Lingjie, Duo Ma Ling and Ah Meng are also known for their good fighting in the Huangzhong Domain! Not only courage, but also strategy.

On the night of the great war, they gathered together to discuss what to do.

"If the city is guarded behind closed doors, most of the cunning Han people will not dare to attack the danger of Bajin City, but will besiege it on all sides, trapping the heroes of the Western Domain in the city. So we have to find a way to lure the Han people to Ba Jinling. ”

The one who is speaking is Doropa's heir, the eldest son, Aringkup. He was a Tibetan man in his thirties, with reddish-black skin tanned by the sun, a large beard, piercing eyes, and a purple brocade robe—a Western Xia official uniform. Doropa's father and son all received official positions in Western Xia, so they often wore purple and crimson Western Xia official uniforms to show their dignity.

"What's so hard about that?" This time it was a young man dressed as a monk, who looked a little similar to Ah Lingjie, and it was his second brother Duo Ma Ling.

The Tsongkha Kingdom of Tibet is following the path of ****, the founding king of the country, Xi Ba Luo, is a monk, Zhao Huaide and Xi Cheng Luosa's father Xi Ba Wen is also a monk, and he also inherited the name of the Buddha son of his father Na Luo.

Therefore, it is only natural that there are a few monks in the noble Hao chieftain of Tsongkha Tubo. However, when you become a monk, you don't have to become a monk, you still marry a wife and have a little monk, and you don't delay leading troops to fight.

"Second brother, if you have any clever plans, just say it." Amun, the youngest brother of the three, asked with a smile. He is a young Tibetan nobleman whose appearance can be described as handsome, and like his two elder brothers, he has a good martial arts and a reputation for being brave and good at fighting.

The monk smiled and didn't sell the guanzi, "Just open the city gate and pretend to be defenseless, you will definitely be able to attract the greedy Song people to attack." We ambushed the city and waited for the enemy to arrive at the city. Then you can definitely win! ”

"Great!" Amon smiled, "Second brother really has a clever plan!" Big brother, let's do it! ”

Ah Lingjie also felt that his younger monk's method was good, nodded and just wanted to speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then he heard someone report: "Three young masters, the soldiers and horses of the Song people are approaching Ba Jinling!" ”

What the?

The three of them were stunned when they heard this.

Ah Lingjie looked at an elderly housekeeper who walked in, "How is it possible?" It's still the middle of the night! ”

"Young master, the Song people marched overnight, and they can already see the torches."

"A night march?" Alingjie was incredulous, "Aren't they afraid of ambushes?" ”

"I knew that I would ambush a soldier under Ba Jin Ridge!" Amon patted his thigh.

The monk Duo Ma Ling smiled: "Daring to march at night shows that the commander of the Song people is reckless against the enemy, and he will definitely fall for our plan to lure the enemy!" ”

"Good!" Alingjie slapped his face, "Order, prepare for war, open the city gate!" ”

……

Of course, the choice of night march was not reckless, but Wang Hou had already sent out the hard detectives (equivalent to armed reconnaissance cavalry) of the Hezhou Domain to search the road between Anxiang Pass and Ba Jinling.

Moreover, Gao Yu and Wang Yu have repeatedly assured that their soldiers and horses are resistant to fighting and are good at fighting, and they are not afraid of night battles at all. In this way, Wang Hou asked the partial generals Xin Shuzhan and An Yongguo to lead the way with 200 cavalry of the domain, and took Gao Yu and Wang Yu's 8,000 soldiers to march away at night, wanting to catch the opponent by surprise.

However, Wang Hou didn't expect Gao Yu and Wang Yu to capture Bajin City, he just ordered the two to drive the Tubo people into Bajin City, and then guard the mountain roads on all sides of Bajin City. In the Hehuang Battle, there were very few cottages of this kind of domain that were really hard to beat, and they were generally fenced up to talk about the conditions. The current Tubo people are not as stubborn as the party members, and they are unlikely to fight the Song army to the death.

But when Gao Yu and Wang Yu ran with an army of 8,000 for most of the night and arrived at the foot of Bajinling Mountain, they encountered an unexpected situation.

Uncle Xin Zhan, who was opening the way in front, rode his horse and galloped to Gao Yu with an excited face: "Captain Gao, good news, the domain of Ba Jin City has opened the city gate!" ”

"Opened the gates?" Gao Yu was stunned, "Surrendered?" ”

"Probably to surrender." Xin Shuzhan said, "Captain Gao, who do you think is better to surrender?" ”

Such a good thing as surrendering, of course, can't let the soldiers do it!

Gao Yu turned around and shouted at Wang Yu: "Brother Zhengchen, the people of Ba Jincheng may have to surrender!" ”

Wang Yu will become a famous general in the future, but he has never fought at the moment, but he is one of the few generals in Kaifeng Jiangmen who can still go into battle. Along the way, he was ambushed in worry, and now he was relieved to hear that Ba Jincheng had surrendered. hurriedly rode forward and arrived at Gao Yu's side.

"Senior Brother Yan," Wang Yu smiled, "those people are also interesting, so it's better for the younger brother to lead people to surrender." ”

Gao Yu is a very good person, of course he won't compete with Wang Yu, and he doesn't need to rob, he is the henchman of the official family!

So he nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll bother Brother Zhengchen and General Xin." He thought for a moment and said, "You still have to be careful, it's better for the two of you to lead 1,000 dragon warriors each and go up the mountain in two ways." ”
