The 35,000 Tibetan troops had already lined up, and the Tang army began to slowly arrange its formation after arriving, with the Chinese army as infantry and the left and right flanks as cavalry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhao Ziliang and others stood on a hill to observe, but the Tubo army did not move when the Tang army was arranged, Zhao Ziliang asked the staff of the left and right generals strangely: "Now our army is arranging the formation, and the Tubo army has already completed the formation, if the Tubo army wants to attack, this is the best time to attack while our army is not firmly established, but Dazarugon turns a blind eye, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Li Siye said: "Could it be that Dazarugon feels unsure? ”

Zhao Ziliang asked rhetorically: "If he is not sure now, will he be sure when our army is deployed?" You must know that as long as you can defeat the enemy on the battlefield, you can do anything, Dazarugon is a barbarian, he hasn't been so polite, right? ”

Chu Ge was puzzled: "Could it be that the Tubo people can't do anything?" ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said, "Regardless of whether Dazaru Gong has any tricks, let's be careful!" Xuan 18, let the outposts of the Huya Army expand the scope of reconnaissance and search, and report immediately if they find enemy troops in other directions! In addition, if there is any news of King Bailan's army, report it immediately! ”

Xuan 18 hugged his fists and said, "Yes, king!" ”

A quarter of an hour passed, the Tang army had completed the formation, and the Tubo army still had not moved, Wang rarely saw this and hugged his fist to Zhao Ziliang and said: "King, our army has finished arranging the formation, what should I do now?" ”

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said, "Wait! ”

"Wait?"

"Yes, wait! I'd like to see what the hell Dazarugon is up to, since the two sides are facing each other, it is impossible to withdraw the troops without a fight! ”

An hour passed, the Tubo army and the Tang army did not move, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the sky became gloomy, Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Xuan Eighteen, is there still no news from the outpost?" ”

Xuan 18 stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "King, the horses have come to report one after another, and no army has been found within thirty miles of the front and back!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was puzzled: "This is strange, since the Tubo people are not waiting for reinforcements or sending another army to flank our army, what the hell are they doing・・・・・・ wait!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, an eagle flew from afar, hovered over the Tang army for a while, and then landed and stopped firmly on Xuan Eighteen's left arm, Xuan Eighteen took out a small roll of paper from the bamboo tube on the eagle's feet, and then took a piece of meat from a soldier next to him and fed it to the eagle.

Xuan 18 walked to Zhao Ziliang with a small scroll of paper and said, "King, there is news from King Bailan!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took the note and looked at it, and after a moment of silence, he said to Wang Rarely: "General Wang, order 15,000 people from the front of the Chinese infantry to attack, with the Modao Army as the prominent front, and advance in a fish scale formation as a whole!" ”

"Command!" The king rarely agreed, and immediately gave the order to the herald.

The drums sounded, the horns also sounded, the front of the Tang Army's central army moved, the 3,000 people of the Modao Army lined up in a neat square array at the front of the fish scale array, and the other 12,000 people were lined up in the center, left, right and rear armies, the fish scale formation was a formation with both offense and defense, which was most suitable for advancing to the enemy when the infantry attacked.

Three minutes later, the fish scale array was completed, and under the command of the former general of the Tang army, the fish scale array began to move towards the Tubo army opposite.

"Boom, boom, boom ・・・・・・" the soldiers stepped on the neat pace, every step on the ground made a loud rumbling sound, this neat pace must go through long-term training to be consistent, the overall strength and momentum at this moment are fully displayed, this huge momentum is not worse than the cavalry group charge, the soldiers of the Tubo army have changed color in the face of this overwhelming momentum.

A few minutes later, the 15,000 infantry of the Tang army in the Fish Scale Formation had advanced to the range of bows and arrows, and at this time, the Tubo army still did not move.

Zhao Ziliang frowned when he saw it, and immediately ordered: "Order, the front of the Chinese infantry stops advancing and uses long-range bows and arrows to strike at the enemy!" ”

Wang rarely conveyed the military order with doubts, and the 15,000 Tang troops who had stood out to the front stopped advancing when they heard the trumpet, and the leading general shouted: "Prepare to shoot with a bow and lie down—"

The Mo Dao army at the front squatted on the ground with the big Mo knife, and the 12,000 people behind all took out their bows and arrows from behind their backs and lay on the ground, bent their backs and raised their knees, spread their bow arms with their hands and feet, and put the arrows on the bowstring with both hands to pull the bowstring, and the arrows were obliquely upward.

With a "swish", the general of the Tang Army pulled out his waist knife and pointed forward: "Release the arrow-"

With a dull loud sound, countless arrows flew into the sky, forming a black cloud, which fell from the sky in the blink of an eye, and a large number of Tubo soldiers in the Tubo army fell with arrows, and a large number of screams were heard.

A general of the Tibetan army anxiously said to Dazarugong: "Marshal, marshal, the Tang army did not follow the routine we expected, according to their shooting method, our casualties are too great, and our army's bows and arrows can't reach them at all!" Let's find a way, just like this wave of arrows, our army has suffered more than 2,000 casualties! ”

Dazaru Gong was cold, gritted his teeth and burst out a few words: "Order the whole army to retreat slowly and withdraw from the range of the Tang Army's bows and arrows!" ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

As soon as the Tubo army moved, the Tang army commander found out, and Wang Tian immediately said: "King, the Tubo army has retreated, and they are retreating at this time, aren't they looking for death?" Quickly order the cavalry on both wings to attack on all fronts, and they will be able to defeat the Tubo army in one fell swoop! ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned and observed for a while, shook his head and said, "No, although the Tubo army retreats, it is not chaotic!" You all know that you have to use cavalry to impact and attack, if we do this, we are afraid that we will fall into the treacherous tricks of the Tibetan army! Come on, send dozens of horsemen to the front of the two armies to explore the open space in the middle, there must be something strange in the middle, there is no hiding around at all, only the open space between the two armies can make ghosts! ”

After the order was issued, more than a dozen horsemen ran out from the two wings and rushed to the middle clearing, and soon one of the horses fell, and after the loud bang, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a huge pit appeared in the middle clearing, and then several large pits were poked out by the Tang cavalry in succession.

Wang rarely broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, "It turns out that the Tubo people have long dug a pit and waited for us, no wonder they have already finished the formation but do not take the initiative to attack, but have to wait for our cavalry to step into the trap they killed, damn it, Dazarugon is too insidious!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "This is not insidious or insidious, no one wants to lose, no one wants to die!" The order went down, and ordered the left and right wings to send 20,000 cavalry to make a detour to flank the Tubo army, and the Chinese infantry crossed the trap and continued to advance! ”

"Yes, King!"

At this time, Dazarugong's face was pale, his plan to lure the enemy failed, the trap on the trap battlefield was completely exposed, the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Tang army had already dispatched and began to detour to his flank, and the infantry of the Tang army was also pressing over step by step, in addition to the Tang army, there were still a large number of reserve troops left in the Tang army, so that he did not dare to use cavalry to attack the Tang infantry.

A Tibetan general loudly persuaded: "Marshal, quickly order the whole army to retreat, now it's a matter of running away one by one, I'm afraid that all of us will die here if we run slowly!" ”

Dazaru Gong didn't believe in evil, he ordered: "We will only lose worse if we retreat at this time, it is better to fight to the death, as long as the sons and daughters are willing to die, we still have a chance to defeat the Tang army!" Order: The infantry will meet the infantry of the Tang Army, and the cavalry on the left and right wings will meet the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Tang Army, and tell all the sons and daughters that this battle is related to the life and death of all of us, once defeated, we all have to die, let the sons and daughters fight to the death! ”

"Marshal ・・・・・・" Many Tibetan generals wanted to dissuade this kind of hard-fought brutality, but Dazarugon didn't listen to it at all.

After the military order was issued, the Tubo army no longer retreated, the infantry met the Tang infantry, the Tang army was blocked by a large number of traps, and could not advance in large numbers for a while, the Tang army that crossed the trap and the Tubo infantry who met the attack were killed, the Tang army was neat, the soldiers obeyed the order and acted in unison, and the Tubo army also fought bravely for the final survival battle, and the two sides were inextricably killed for a while.

The cavalry on the left and right flanks also collided, and the large number of bows and arrows of the Tang cavalry made the Tubo cavalry suffer heavy losses before they could make contact, but the Tubo army still rushed over without fear of death, and the two sides were soon intertwined, but the Tang army did not stay, and walked with one touch, giving full play to the mobility of the cavalry.

After half an hour of fighting, although the Tubo army was defeated, it was still persistent, and Wang couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the Tubo people are planning to fight hard, and they are so desperate to send them away, it is estimated that if they fight hard, they will be all finished!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sneered: "If they don't work hard, they will only die faster, no one is a fool from time to time, they know that they can only fight hard in this situation!" ”

After another half an hour, the Tubo army could not resist, whether it was cavalry or infantry, there was an obvious gap in the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, and in terms of overall combat strength, the Tang army gave full play to it, and the will to fight was much firmer.

Just when the Tubo army was about to hold on, their new enemy appeared again, a cavalry of more than 10,000 people rushed towards the Tubo army from behind, a large number of arrows flew over and caused chaos in the rear of the Tubo army, and then this cavalry rushed into the Tubo army and slashed and slashed, the Tubo army was unable to support it first, and now the sudden arrival of this enemy made them completely collapse on the spot, and the Tubo soldiers began to flee in a large area, and the Tang army took advantage of the situation to cover up.

"King Bailan - Murong Jieyan!" Dazarugon looked at the army rushing over from the opposite side and shouted through gritted teeth, and the guards next to him didn't care about anything else at this time, just escorted him to break through to the side.

Zhao Ziliang saw that King Bailan's soldiers and horses were arriving as scheduled, killing the Tubo people and completely collapsing, and immediately ordered: "Order, the whole army will attack on all fronts, and I will capture Dazarukon!" ”

"Yes, King!"
