Although Garqinling controlled the families of the nobles and ministers, there were so many nobles and ministers in the city, and there were military generals among them, he could not control them all, and there were always fish that slipped through the net.

As a result, some nobles and generals mobilized their troops privately, and the army of the Garqin Tomb had a big battle in the city of Luo, but their strength was limited, and they were soon extinguished by the Garqin Tomb, and the 8,000 army was wiped out, not only that, but all the ministers who participated in the war were charged with rebellion and beheaded in the city, and their families were not spared.

There were rivers of blood in the city, and the families of those ministers were huge, and the family members of all the ministers together amounted to a thousand, and they were beheaded together in the city, how spectacular, and there were only more than fifty executioners in the city, which was not enough, and it took a long time to cut off the heads.

This purge of the Garqin Mausoleum, the Tubo court was quiet, and there was no longer a trace of opposition, and the ministers finally saw what it means to be a tiger father without a dog, and Gardonzan was in power to the government and the opposition, and now his son is more powerful than him, two days later, 50,000 troops marched out of the city under the leadership of Zuo Rushuai Solang Gazan, and headed to the north.

After sending out the army, Garqinling showed his strength in the court, and implemented all the policies that had been opposed by the ministers before, which was his long-brewing policy of strengthening the country, but it was delayed by those ministers who were short-sighted before, and now no one dared to obstruct it, and he did not take the opportunity to implement it for a while.

Tubo has spies in the Great Tang, Li Hao naturally also installed spies in Tubo, most of Li Hao's special forces are trained by children of foreign races, and there are special scouts, as scouts, first of all, you must learn the Chinese language, but also be proficient in lip language, when the Garqin Ling launched a mutiny on the night, a flying pigeon flew out of the city.

Half a month later, when Solang Gazan came to Qinghai with an army of 50,000, Li Hao had already received the flying pigeon book, Li Hao held a note in the study, and after reading it for a while, he couldn't help but look up and sigh lightly: "What a Garqin Mausoleum, I am not as good as him in this regard, I am too benevolent." ”

He opened the lampshade, burned the note, frowned and said slowly: "After the Garqinling monopolizes power, it will definitely vigorously develop the national strength of Tubo, and it seems that the matter of attacking Tubo is ...... Sooner rather than later. ”

During this time, Peng Hai sent three times more scouts than usual to inspect the entire Qinghai border, and he didn't dare to slack off on the official documents under his mental power, and he also knew that this was what Li Hao meant, how dare he not do the same thing.

On the third day of the first month of March, a scout Kuaima came back to report to Peng Hai that he found 50,000 Tibetan troops on the shore of Zhaling Lake.

For two days, Peng Hai had been sending scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Tubo army, and in two days, the Tubo army had left Zhaling Lake, secretly entered the Qinghai border, and headed north.

After receiving the official document, Peng Hai left 10,000 troops to defend the city, and he set off quickly with 30,000 Qinghai guards and made a detour to the north, preparing to intercept the Tibetan army.

The 30,000 Qinghai guards led by Peng Hai are all cavalry, and they are heavy cavalry, and each war horse is a carefully selected high-quality horse.

However, Qinghai Wei and Xuanjia Strange Soldiers are different, Xuanjia Strange Soldiers need to be trained tacitly, so as to form a strange ironclad battle array, but Qinghai Wei does not need it, Li Hao's requirements for them are invincible general charge, simple and rough lethality, extraordinary individual combat ability, and the ability to resist the rain of arrows, Qinghai Wei each person holds an iron shield is a round shield, 65 cm in diameter, sharp edges, when there is really no weapon, this iron shield can also kill the enemy, such an iron shield is not big or small, it can be used flexibly on horseback, In terms of individual combat ability, it even surpasses the Xuanjia Strange Soldiers.

The weight of the round iron shield and Mo knife is fifty catties, everyone wears leather armor and iron helmets, so that they can not only maintain flexibility, but also provide strong defense with iron shields, and even the heads and bodies of horses are covered with leather armor, which can charge in the rain of arrows, such a well-equipped cavalry, and after severe training, it has already become the most elite army in Datang.

Qinghai Wei marched very fast, after all, it was all cavalry, and it came to the territory of the former Wuqiang State in seven days, which used to be the territory of Tubo, but was robbed by the Tang Dynasty.

Peng Hai stood at the top of the mountain, using the simple telescope given to him by Li Hao to observe the terrain around, and he found that the mountain pass in front of him was quite suitable for ambush, but he finally gave up the plan to ambush the mountain pass.

Although the terrain here is good, the main general of the other side should not be stupid, and it can be seen that this is a good place for ambushes, and there must be some precautions, and the 30,000 troops he brought are cavalry, not good at climbing mountains, the peaks on both sides are too steep, and they have no props such as stones and rolling logs for a while, so they are not suitable for ambushes here.

The ambush site he selected was in an abandoned ancient city more than 100 miles north of the mountain pass, which was left by the Han Dynasty Yixun City, which was called the ancient city of Milan in later generations, and was one of the important cities of Loulan State.

After Ruoqiang was destroyed by Tubo, Tubo naturally occupied Ruoqiang's territory, and the ancient city of Milan because of its important geographical location, Tubo repaired it as a fortress to guard the frontier, but after several wars, the ancient city of Milan was dilapidated again, and because of the establishment of Qinghai Wei, it was completely reduced to Tang soil, and the ancient city of Milan was abandoned again, and now Peng Hai intends to lead troops to ambush in the city.

Two days later, Solang Gazan led his troops to the mountain pass, saw the steep peaks on both sides, and a canyon hundreds of zhang wide in the middle, Solang Gazan immediately raised his hand to stop the army, although he was not very old, but he acted calmly, and was well versed in the art of war, the terrain of this mountain pass was definitely a good place for ambush, in order to be precautionary, he ordered two vigorous guards to climb the peaks on both sides and explore first.

It took the two guards nearly two hours to climb the peaks on either side, and then waved a flag at the top of the mountain to signal that everything was safe, and then Solangazan ordered the army to continue to move through the mountain pass.

In the city of Yixun, Peng Hai held a telescope every day to climb high and observe to the south, he didn't even dare to send scouts, in case he was discovered by the Tubo army, finally, he saw the Tubo army, densely marching towards this side, this is the only way to the Western Turks, not afraid that they will not come.

Peng Hai immediately ordered the whole army to prepare, and he was the only one who occasionally hid high in the city and secretly observed the enemy situation with binoculars.

Solang Gazan with an army of 50,000 people is getting closer and closer, after passing the mountain pass, Solang Gazan's courage is gradually growing, after all, according to the normal way of thinking, if the Tang army wants to intercept them, it will definitely be in the mountain range, and now it is out of the mountain pass, not within the scope of Qinghai, this is already the boundary of the Anxi Protectorate, and the troops of the Anxi Protectorate are far away from here, and they will definitely not be able to control them.

Seeing that Yixun City was ahead, Solang Gazan couldn't help but order the army to speed up the pace, and then the whole army stopped in front of Yixun City, looking at the dilapidated Yixun City, Solang Gazan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed slowly: "This is Yixun City, once, it belonged to our Tubo, and it was our Tubo garrison fortress. ”

The general on the side, Epiluo, said loudly: "Rushuai, one day, we will take it back!" ”

"Well said!" Suo Lang Jiazan's eyes were deep and said, "Now that Da Lun Qinling is in charge of Tubo, he is in power, and he will lead Tubo, which will naturally make the country strong and the people rich, and within five years, the national strength of Tubo will increase several times, and then it will be the time when we will be humiliated by the Tang Dynasty, and it will not only be Yixun City that will be recaptured!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly heard a loud "buzz", and Solang Gazan's face suddenly changed drastically, and then his pupils suddenly contracted violently, and he shouted in horror: "Enemy attack!" ”

He clearly saw that a dark cloud in the sky was flying towards them, no, it was not a dark cloud, it was obviously a rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun, it was too dense, so it looked like a dark cloud.

However, when he shouted, it was too late, and only a few guards reacted, raised their shields in front of him, and countless arrows fell in the middle of the army, and there were screams everywhere.

"Hum-" There was another sound of uniform bowstrings in the city, and another rain of arrows struck, and the Tibetan army was in chaos, and all the soldiers hurriedly looked for cover, or raised their shields to resist, but a large number of men and horses were still shot by the rain of arrows, screaming and wailing.

"Retreat!" Before he even saw the enemy's face, he lost nearly 10,000 people, and Solangazan panicked, and at this time he had to retreat, after all, he didn't know what the enemy's strength was.

At the sound of an order, the Tubo army retreated in a hurry, but the military formation was too large and it was difficult to turn around for a while.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a large number of cavalry rushing out of Yixun City, shouting one after another: "Datang Wansheng!" Armed with an iron shield and a sword, he rode his horse and rushed towards them.

"After the infantry hall, the cavalry will first withdraw to the rear and reorganize the formation! The archer shoots his bow to defend against the enemy! "Solangazan tried his best to calm himself, he was a man of real ability, and although he was attacked, he was not panicked.

I saw that the Tubo cavalry turned their horses' heads around the infantry and retreated backwards, and at the same time began to form a whole formation, and the infantry suddenly blocked the front, raised their spears and rushed towards the Tang cavalry, and the archers opened their bows and threw them one after another, blocking the Tang cavalry.

However, when Qinghai Wei saw the rain of arrows coming, they raised their iron shields to block, and the horses had leather armor covering bodies, and the damage caused to them by the rain of arrows in Tibet was minimal.

A cavalry of 3,000 men took the lead in rushing into the Tibetan infantry formation, each of them resisting the enemy's spears with iron shields, and the Mo knife swung wildly, like harvesting straw, and suddenly penetrated into the Tibetan infantry formation, making its formation chaotic.

There were 5,000 cavalry roaring from the rear, and that's not all, there were countless cavalry pouring out of the city from the rear.

Solangazan's scalp was numb, he looked at the 10,000 infantry and archers, and knew that they could not escape, and if he turned back to face the battle at this moment, it was estimated that there was a danger of annihilation, so he gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Withdraw!" ”

Then he galloped away with the cavalry, and more than 10,000 infantry and archers were sold by him, in fact, he couldn't help it, Solangazan's approach was the wisest, if he was reluctant to let go of these infantry and archers, then he would be greeted by the annihilation of the entire army.
