Qiu Ge marched quietly among the mountains, and Gu Zang was already full of soldiers.

Prior to this, Guzang was almost an empty city, and there were only 2,000 direct pro-troops and 1,000 Guzang County soldiers in the whole city, and the rest of the troops were all on various passes on the border.

When Atletico was defeated, Duanmu Zheng knew that there was a big trouble, and hurriedly ordered all the private soldiers of the gate lords to be recruited, and recruited 3,000 people among the people.

Atletico fled back and brought back more than 1,000 cavalry, but Duanmuzheng did not punish him, but instead handed over the city defense to him, and he organized the defense.

Atletico knew that he had lost Luoyan Pass, and the court would definitely hold him accountable, and he could only atone for his crimes, so he was extremely active, and he completed Guzang's defense in a few days.

In the past few days, the court's handling has also come down, the court's wording is very harsh, but the disposal is very light, and the heaviest punishment is Duanmuzheng and Ma Jing, both of whom are guilty of meritorious service.

The disposition of the imperial court made the soldiers of the whole army breathe a sigh of relief, and the soldiers in Liangzhou all knew that the battlefield was fighting, victory or defeat was unpredictable, and if a defeat was punished, who would dare to lead the troops to fight in the future. Moreover, Atletico and Horse Valve are the backbone of Liangzhou's local gate valves.

But the disposition of the imperial court also made Duanmu Zheng and Ma Jingzhu dissatisfied, in the face of the Liangzhou crisis, the imperial court only transferred 10,000 troops, and more importantly, military salaries and food!

"What is the imperial court going to do! It doesn't matter if we Liangzhou people live or die!"

"Damn! traitors have misled the country! Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will cut them down!"

Atletico scolded endlessly in the Huqiang General's Mansion, but in the end he was helpless and did not dare to leak the news.

The Liangzhou troops have been in battle for a long time, and their movements are very fast, as soon as the Luoyan Pass is broken, the Huqiang General's Mansion ordered, and the troops immediately moved and retreated according to the deployment.

But Duanmu soon discovers that not everyone is acting according to his orders, and neither Qiu Ge nor Fang Da are acting according to plan.

Qiu Ge did not retreat to the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and Fang Da (there was a mistake in the previous text, written as Fang Jin, now corrected) did not lead his troops back to Guzang, but went to Lingqu County, and also sent a partial division to occupy Guidebao, cutting off the way for the Tubo people to enter Dingqiang County eastward.

Duanmu Zheng was very helpless about this group of arrogant soldiers, he didn't have Qiuyun's prestige, the two of them were okay, and they sent someone to report.

Liangzhou is now weak in troops, Dingqiang County in the east is extremely empty, almost no troops, and Hexi County in the north, except for a few troops on the border, the remaining counties only have government officials and city guards, and they are still too late to defend the city, let alone fight.

Duanmu Zheng and Ma Jing both had grievances in their hearts, this time in order to send troops to the outside world, the imperial court transferred a lot of troops from Liangzhou, and the main force of the border army was almost exhausted, fortunately, Fang Da's department was transferred back, but he only brought half of the original 30,000 troops.

The situation in Liangzhou was so sinister, but the imperial court only provided such little assistance, which also complained that rumors were spreading in Guzang City, saying that the imperial court was going to abandon Liangzhou.

Dissatisfied with the imperial court, but the measures of the King of Qin, Duanmu Zheng and the people of Liangzhou were still grateful, and his guards were sent to Chencang, although there were only three thousand people, but the people of Liangzhou were still very grateful in their hearts.

Gu Zang was frightened three times overnight, but only a very small number of people fled, for no other reason, there was no way to escape, from Gu Zang to Chencang, there were hundreds of miles of road, among which the homeless bandits, there were many dangers, there was no bodyguard to escort, no one dared to go on the road alone.

In the face of the message, Duanmu Zheng had no choice but to appease people's hearts, announcing that the imperial court had sent 50,000 reinforcements, and the king of Qin had also sent 20,000 troops, and was assembling to Chencang.

After the notice was posted, Gu Zang gradually calmed down, the rumors gradually disappeared, and for several days, there was no Tubo army outside the city, only a few cavalry scouts outside the city to show off their might.

After a few days, Duanmu was gradually coming back to his senses, and the Tubo people did not seem to have any intention of attacking Guzang, and after discussing with Atletico Ma, he decided to let Atletico's son Ma Han lead a thousand cavalry out to make a tentative attack.

Ma Han, the eldest son of Atletico Madrid, has been known as the Qilin son since he was a child, and the young general of Liangzhou, known as Qiu Ge, fought with his father at the age of fourteen, broke the mirror at the age of fifteen and entered the martial arts, and stepped into the martial arts at the age of twenty-one.

Mahan led the army out of the city secretly, and ambushed three Tibetan scouts outside the city, and won three battles and three victories, and none of the Tibetans escaped the net.

From the captured Tibetan population, Duanmu Zheng finally understood the movements of the Tibetan people, which surprised him.

The Tubo people actually did not occupy the mouth of the three rivers!

The Tubo minister was not in Liangzhou, and most of the Tubo army outside the Huangsha Pass had retreated, leaving only 50,000 horses and horses from Qiliman.

This is a shocking situation.

Duanmuzheng did not dare to report this, so he ordered Ma Han to probe again, and at the same time sent scouts in the direction of the Tubo army, and he must find out the situation of the Tubo people's forces.

However, in his heart, he thought that this information was true, which explained very well why the Tubo people did not pounce directly on Guzang after breaking through the Huangsha Pass.

Atletico also believed this information in his heart, which made him very angry, and he asked Duanmu Zheng for his life, saying that he would return to Hexi County to recruit troops and fight the Tibetans again.

Atletico is a native of Hexi, but his wife is a Qiang person, is one of the nine branches of the Qiang people, the daughter of the Qiang Khan, Atletico has a very high prestige in Hexi County, and has won the trust of the Qiang people, so as long as he returns to Hexi County, he will definitely be able to get the support of the Qiang people, and he can quickly form a large army dominated by the Qiang people.

But Duanmu Zheng can't let him go, Guzang Defense still needs him, Duanmu Zheng knows that in terms of strategy, he can still talk about it, but if he really wants to talk about fighting on the battlefield, he can't do it.

But Atletico's determination was great, and Duanmu Zheng finally compromised and agreed that he would send his eldest son Ma Han back to Hexi County to recruit troops, and Atletico reluctantly agreed.

At the same time, on the other hand, Duanmu was secretly releasing the news, and Gu Zang's people were very relieved, and several major lords provided him with all the private soldiers, and he invisibly got another 2,000 men.

------------------------------------

A glimmer of white light had just appeared in the sky, and the soldiers at the pass yawned, although it was late spring and early summer, the morning here was still relatively cold, and it was still time for the changing of the guard, and the soldiers looked out of the wall, it was dark and they couldn't see anything.

Turned around to leave, suddenly a gust of wind blew from outside the wall, the back of the neck was cold, he just stretched out his hand, suddenly found that there was something more in his throat, looked down, the tip of the snow gun, he wanted to look back, but he was unable to turn around, unwilling to force his eyes, before dying, he saw another whistle There was also a black shadow, this black shadow was gesturing at this side.

Qiu Ge drew his gun, blocked the corpse with his hand, let it lean against the wall silently, and a few black shadows floated up from below, and after landing on the ground, Qiu Ge stepped forward, his steps didn't look big, but he arrived at the door of the building in two steps.

Dodged in, only to come out after a while, and there was a little more blood in the air.

Without any extra words, a few black shadows followed up quickly and silently arrived in front of Qiu Ge, Qiu Ge nodded slightly at them, and a black shadow walked to the side of the wall and shook the fire outside.

The two black shadows began to turn the wheels and slowly lowered the drawbridge, and Qiu Ge led the three of them to run towards the gate.

"Tsk, it's not a small guts! I actually dare to touch Lao Tzu's whistle!"

A rough voice suddenly sounded in the dawn, Qiu Ge's expression froze, he stopped, the spear was behind him, and the three black shadows did not answer, and rushed towards the gate.

"Bang!"

The roof of the hut exploded suddenly, and a figure suddenly rose up, rushing in without the slightest pause. Qiu Ge snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the black shadow, halfway through, the tip of the spear suddenly exploded a cloud of white light, and before the black shadow could react, the white light was annihilated on the black shadow.

"You... , you, you're autumn.."

Before he could finish speaking, the black shadow suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of corpses, falling with a rain of blood.

Qiu Ge walked through the bloody corpses and stood on the eaves of the explosion, carrying a spear upside down, his black clothes fluttering in the morning breeze.

At this moment, the three black panther swords who followed him down the wall came out to kill the Tubo soldiers who were scattered in front of the door.

"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"

Terrible cries sounded everywhere in the pass, and Qiu Ge stood coldly on the eaves, watching the panicked Tubo people rush out from everywhere.

A few figures crossed the panicked soldiers and killed from the roof, Qiu Ge calmly greeted him, the gun came out and fell, and no one was his enemy.

The gate of the pass was opened, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and at the front was a white horse, Qiu Ge jumped up and landed on the horse's back, the horse's speed did not decrease at all, and it flashed by.

Three thousand black panthers, at dawn, raided Huangsha Pass.

Huangsha Pass, for the Panthers, is too familiar, and they know that they have gone there with their eyes closed, which is crucial to making a battle plan.

The panthers who entered the pass quickly divided into several groups and killed along the streets, and a small number of them simply abandoned their horses and formed several groups to kill from the rooftops to the depths, and the last hundred people who came in were led by officers to form a defensive formation at the gate and hold the retreat of the army.

The sleepy-eyed Tibetan soldiers rushed out of the room with swords and guns, and before they could see where the enemy was, they were knocked down by a rain of arrows.

The flames erupted everywhere, and the Tibetans became even more panicked, and some people began to run backwards, so more people began to run backwards.

White horse, black coat, spear.

Like a whirlwind blowing, no one can stop it, no one can stop it.

"Report!"

As soon as Qiu Ge pulled the horse, the white horse galloping at high speed stopped immediately as if it had stepped on the brakes.

"Major General, the forage field has burned. ”

"Report!"

"Major General, the grain depot has burned!"

"Report!"

"Major General, in front, I found hundreds of carts of grain, a few lamas are very powerful, and Captain Xu is fighting fiercely. ”

"Let's go!"

Qiu Ge pulled the horse's head, turned around and ran forward, a group of black panthers following closely behind.

When he arrived at the battlefield, he happened to see Xu Duwei cut down a lama, and the other three lamas fled with a lama in a golden robe.

"Don't chase!" Qiu Ge called out to Captain Xu.

Xu Duwei's face was full of murderous anger, his body was covered with blood, and he shouted anxiously: "Young General, that Huang Lama must be an important person." ”

"I know, burn this grain, and retreat!"

After Qiu Ge finished his order, he raised his hand and sent out three ringing arrows, which was a signal to retreat, this time with fast and slow, the purpose was to burn the grain and forage of Qiliman, and after he succeeded, he quickly retreated, not to fight with the enemy.

The fires were all over the streets, and the whole pass was burning.

Qiu Ge stood in front of the gate, and the black panther that had withdrawn from everywhere quickly galloped past him, everyone was very excited, and when the last black wave galloped out, he pulled the horse's head and galloped out.
