Standing on the slope of the horse, looking at the fire, corpses all over the field, a messy camp, Fang Da was very satisfied, in the morning two teams of black horse messengers found him, he was not in Lingqu County at that time, Lingqu County is not big, at most it can accommodate 5,000 people and horses, he left 3,000 infantry in Lingqu County, and the county temporarily gathered more than 1,000 people and 500 county soldiers, to defend the city, with 2,000 cavalry, out to find fighters.

Following the rules has never been his style, unlike Qiu Ge, after arriving at the Lingqu, he got in touch with Gu Zang, and Gu Zang's order was to stick to the Ling Canal.

But Fangda believes that this is a passive beating, Liangzhou has insufficient troops, such a passive defense, everywhere guards, everywhere loopholes, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

He and Qiu Ge had much the same idea, they both wanted to attack Kiliman's grain route, but his position was not as good as Qiu Ge's, he was in the northeast of Kiliman, and when Qiu Ge withdrew from Huangsha Pass, he withdrew to the northwest, which was a greater threat to Kiliman's back road.

After Zhu Jing arrived in Wangchuan, he sent someone to get in touch with him and inform him of Qiu Ge's strategy, which strengthened his thoughts.

Two thousand cavalry, five hundred of whom were his personal guards, were all elite border troops, and he led this force to quietly leave the Lingqu and move to the woods north of the Sanjiang Estuary to hide.

Two days later, he received the news that Qiu Ge had successfully attacked Huangsha Pass, which made him very excited, so he moved dozens of miles in the direction of Qiu Ge, intending to join forces with Qiu Ge, and met Qiu Ge's messenger halfway through.

After reading Qiu Ge's letter, he immediately turned his horse's head and decided to attack the Qiliman camp.

One hit succeeded.

Kiliman's camp was burned to ashes by him, and the 5,000 men and horses left behind in the camp were almost slaughtered by him, which was the first major victory since Huangchikou was broken through.

"Blow the trumpet, assemble, transfer. ”

Fonda's command was simple and straightforward.

The trumpeters blew their horns, and the cavalrymen who were chasing them immediately turned their horses and ran towards the banner, and the victory made them excited, and everyone looked at the commander of the banner with reverence.

Without counting the results and casualties, Fang Da ordered to pull out, and halfway through, Fang Da called the generals separately to count the casualties, he didn't care about the results, the Qili Man's camp and grain and grass were gone, and that was enough.

After running more than ten miles at high speed, Fang Dacai relieved his heart, summoned officers at all levels, and counted the casualties, the casualties were not very large, but they were not small, more than 300 people were killed, and nearly 200 were wounded, so more than 500 people went to the army, and the strength was reduced by a quarter.

Sent fifty people to escort the wounded soldiers back, Fang Da looked at the remaining more than 1,400 people, and sighed slightly in his heart, the 30,000 border troops under his command were divided into pieces by the imperial court, and now there are more than 1,400 people left to use, if the whole army is in hand, he will dare to pull it out and confront the Tubo army head-on.

There is not only one autumn song in Liangzhou.

Suddenly, the alarm sounded, Fang Da hurriedly got up, this is the enemy warning from the periphery, all the soldiers quickly got up, and after a while, the alarm signal came.

The soldiers sat down one after another, and Fonda stood there, looking at the intersection, and it didn't take long for the two horses to gallop in.

"General, it's the Black Rider. ”

Fang Da was surprised, looking at the general in black armor and black armor, he knew the general, it was the general of the black cavalry.

"I have seen General Fang, and Xu Ji, the commander of the Black Cavalry, has met the general. Xu Ji clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly.

"Why is Duwei Xu here?" asked Fang Da in confusion.

"Kiliman wants to fish, the major general will plan to attract Kiliman, on the way to withdraw the army, the major general let us lead the main force to walk the tea ceremony, he led the personal guard 200 horsemen, continue to attract Kiliman to pursue, and I sneak attack Kiliman's rear team, after success, retreat to the east, do not think, met the general. ”

"Okay! Okay! Now all the grain and grass in Qiliman are destroyed, see what he does!" Fang Da was very excited and applauded, but Xu Ji was not the slightest excited, on the contrary, he was a little anxious: "General, the young general is surrounded, please ask the general to rescue." ”

Fang Da was taken aback, Qiu Ge was surrounded, and the generals were also surprised.

"How many troops?" Fonda quickly asked.

"There are only two hundred guards around the major general, and the rate of beggars is at least more than 10,000. Xu Ji was very helpless.

After Xu Ji attacked the rear of the Tubo army, he led his troops and ran, thinking that the Tubo people would chase, but the Tubo people did not chase, and the scouts caught a few Tubo scouts, only then did they know that Qiu Ge was surrounded on a small hill.

Xu Ji was worried now, the Tubo army was gathered, at least more than 10,000, he was less than 3,000 people, how could he save Qiu Ge.

I had to lead the team around the neighborhood, not knowing what to do, and just at this time, I met Fonda.

Fang Da found out the enemy's situation clearly, and all the Tubo people went there, and the outer guard was placed quite far, thirty miles.

"The whole army has passed?" Xu Ji was greatly surprised, what was this Qiliman going to do? The big camp was gone, the grain and fodder were gone, and it was just to kill Qiu Ge?!!!

He's crazy!

Fangda couldn't understand Kiliman's behavior at all, Kiliman was now short of food and grass, and tens of thousands of people could eat and drink on what they carried with them.

Fang Da quickly thought of a plan, used Qiu Ge to consume Qiliman, commanded the troops himself, recaptured Huangsha Pass, and beat Qiliman to the door.

But there are two problems with this plan, first, is the panther willing, which means that if you have to sacrifice Qiu Ge, two hundred people, surrounded by tens of thousands of people, even the grandmaster will not win, if the panther is unwilling, with more than 1,400 people under his command, can he recapture Huangsha Pass?

If the panther is unwilling, then the second problem arises, the defenders of Lingqu and Fort Guide must be transferred, but when the order is sent through, they will come again, it will take at least three days, and Qiu Ge and their two hundred people can hold the beggar for three days?

Fonda didn't have the slightest confidence, and there were not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands.

Xu Ji was very anxious, his troops were insufficient, but Fang Da's troops were not many, even if they were combined, they were less than five thousand, which was not enough to rescue Qiu Ge.

"General!" Xu Ji hesitated and shouted, "What should we do?"

Fang Da lowered his head and thought about it, and shook his head slightly: "Young General, we must save it, but we don't have enough troops, so we have to ask Gu Zang for help, and it's too late to ,.........."

Fang Da was obviously very hesitant, at this time a black-armored officer rushed over, and before he could reach him, he shouted loudly: "What are you still hesitating about, we should go and save the young general immediately, it is difficult, you want to see death or not!"

"Presumptuous!" Fang Da scolded sharply: "The black panther is famous all over the world, and this is how it collides with the military discussion!"

"Liu Qiang, step down, Hugh is reckless!" Xu Ji hurriedly ordered, and two black panther soldiers ran to retreat Liu Qiang, Liu Qiang did not struggle, and pleaded loudly to save Qiu Ge immediately.

Liu Qiang's actions made the already uneasy black panther even more uneasy, a group of black panthers automatically surrounded them, and Fang Da's subordinates hurriedly came over.

"What are you doing! What do you want to do! Get out!" Fonda saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly scolded his own people.

"What are you doing!" Xu Ji also hurriedly spoke to stop him, and said sharply at the black panther: "The young general is in danger, and General Fang is also worried, and he is also thinking of a way, you have all been through the battlefield, just rely on us as people, can you rescue the young general?"

Xu Ji is Qiu Ge's deputy, he has always been trusted by Qiu Ge, and he reprimanded him like this, the black panther's mood stabilized slightly, one of them took two steps forward, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly: "General Fang, as long as I can rescue the young general, I, the black panther, am grateful, but if I am sent, I will never give up!"

The black panther hula knelt down and said in unison: "But there is a sending, and you will never give up!"

Seeing this, Fang Da took two steps forward, hugged his fists at the soldiers and said loudly: "The young general is in danger, my Fang Da empathizes, the Tubo people are powerful, ten times more than me, we want to save the young general, but there must be a complete way, so that we rush directly over, not only can not save the young general, we ourselves will also suffer heavy losses, if, you have any good way, please put it forward, everyone refer to it, if it is feasible, our Fang Da must rush to the front." ”

"General Fang and I are discussing the strategy of rescuing the young general, everyone go down first, rest, feed the war horses, and then go into battle and fight. Xu Ji also said loudly.

The black panthers gave up and stepped aside, and after discussing with Xu Ji, Fang Da and Xu Ji sent more than ten teams of scouts in succession, telling them to get as close as possible to the Tibetan army and find out the situation clearly.

In addition, Fang Da sent people to the nearby Wubao to ask for help, try to collect troops, Wubao is not a border army nor a county soldier, it is a private soldier, only the Huqiang General's Mansion has the power to requisition, but every time the Hu invades, the local defender generals will ask for help from the surrounding Wubao, and Wubao will send private soldiers according to the situation.

After doing all this, Fang Da sat down and asked the map to be opened, Xu Ji didn't have any good ideas, they were all high-ranking generals, and they couldn't be as impulsive as ordinary soldiers.

I don't know how much time passed, the news came, there were friendly troops coming, Fang Da and Xu Ji lifted their spirits and got up to look.

Hundreds of horsemen galloped to stop a few zhang away from the improvised camp, three fast horses came over, stopped in front of Fangda Xu Ji, and the three dismounted.

"General, these two are the young masters of Hanjiawu Fort and Weijiawu Fort, and they have been summoned to come. ”

After the chief reported, the two people behind him stepped forward and clasped their fists in salute:

"Han Jin of Hanjiawu Fort, led one hundred and twenty people from Hanjiawu Fort to help in the war, Major General Qiu is to save my Hanjiawu Fort from being in trouble, and my Han clan is willing to go to the soup for the young general!"

"Weijiawu Fort Wei Qun, I have seen the general, and I am willing to obey the general's military orders, kill Hu for the country, and serve the court. ”

Wei Qun obviously wanted to be more angry and speak more in line with the imperial court system, and Han Jin was a little unruly when he stood there.

"Thank you two strong men for your help, please go and rest first. ”

Before Fang Da could finish speaking, Han Jin shouted loudly: "General, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, if you don't enter the army at this time, what are you waiting for!"

Fang Da's face sank, and Xu Ji hurriedly rushed to the front: "The Tubo people are powerful, ten times more powerful than me, and General Fang and I are trying to figure out a way." ”

Han Jin said contemptuously: "There are no more than 50,000 people in Qiliman, and after a few battles, at least 8,000 people will be reduced, we have 5,000 men and horses here, and there are only so many elite soldiers in Qiliman, and the rest are just a rabble, as long as these 5,000 people are defeated, the Tubo army will inevitably be defeated!"

Fang Da came out angrily, and scolded sharply: "Presumptuous!"
