    The Mo Dao in the heavy infantry's hand was raised high and slashed down hard. The Tibetan soldiers screamed in agony. Some of them didn't even have time to scream before they were chopped into pieces.

    Chi Dezuzan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the Tang army's heavy infantry was indestructible and unmatched, so he ordered the Tibetan army to retreat to avoid unnecessary casualties.

    Hoplites are indeed powerful, but they are not without their weaknesses.  The weakness of hoplites is that they carry too much weight and are very slow. Another reason is that they cannot last long because of too much weight. The purpose of hoplites is to fight quickly and finish quickly.  Just go in the opposite direction, take advantage of the flexibility of the Tibetan light cavalry, and fight with the heavy infantry until the heavy infantry is defeated, and then turn around for a decisive battle, and you will have a guaranteed victory.

    The problem is that the miracle of light cavalry defeating heavy infantry was created by the Mongols during the Western Expedition, not Chide Zuzan. He could do nothing except telling the Tibetan army to avoid contact with heavy infantry.

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Ge Shuhan commanded the heavy infantry to advance nearly two miles, then ordered the heavy infantry to stop and stop attacking.

    Chi Dezuzan was puzzled and stared at the heavy infantry. Yes, he had no plans to attack again.  According to the general fighting style of the Tang army, as soon as the heavy infantry is thrown into the battlefield, it will be a scene of sweeping thousands of troops, and they will not rest until the battle is over. This is the first time that heavy infantry has been used like today.

    The Tibetan generals were very familiar with the Tang army, and they all had questions in their minds.

    Not only were they curious, but Cheng Xiaotian was also extremely puzzled. He rushed to Ge Shuhan's side and asked: "General Ge Shu, what's wrong with you? Why did you stop? This is a heavy infantry, with hundreds of kilograms of equipment.  We can't hold on for long, if we don't fight, the brothers will be tired. By then, if the Tibetans attack again, the consequences will be disastrous!"

    "General Cheng, you are indeed a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. His words are very insightful!" Ge Shuhan gave a light high-five.

    Cheng Xiaotian rolled his eyes: "General Ge Shuhan, don't talk about him here! You are a brilliant bird! Everyone who has been on the battlefield knows it! Your General Ge Shu is also a person who crawled among the dead, so he doesn't understand  At this point, what exactly are you going to do?¡±

    Brother Shuhan did not answer the question and said with a smile: "General Cheng, please take the brothers to defend the infantry. Send an order to the brothers behind to cross the river quickly!"

    Cheng Xiaotian looked at the heavy infantry in a hurry and saw them forming a team.  Looking at this posture, it seems that they are not going to fight, but they are going to fight hard. But why did Ge Shuhan let the heavy infantry that arrived first stop?

    "General Ge Shu, you are so scheming! I'm convinced!" Cheng Xiaotian suddenly figured it out and slapped Ge Shu Han hard on the shoulder, overjoyed: "General Ge Shu, don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away!" Without waiting for Ge Shu,  Han spoke and left in a hurry.

    After several days of fierce fighting, the vanguard troops lost a lot of their strength.  The biggest casualty was the fierce battle with the Tibetan army just now to cover the heavy infantry crossing the river. In total, there were nearly 4,000 casualties.  There are still almost 6,000 people left, and they still have good fighting strength.

    Cheng Xiaotian gave the order, and the vanguard troops mounted their horses and formed a formation.  The soldiers in the vanguard were puzzled. Some couldn't help but asked: "General, you still want to fight? How can we fight with just a few people?"

    "Stop talking nonsense! Just wait for the order!" Cheng Xiaotian shouted, and the soldier did not dare to say any more.

    An hour had passed until all the heavy infantry on the north bank had crossed the Nu River.  At this hour, Chide Zuzan did not order the Tibetan army to attack, because there were heavy infantry. Even if he wanted to attack, it would be of no use and would only increase casualties.

    What puzzled Chi De Zuzan the most was that the heavy infantry had no plan to attack yet. They just put the Modao on the ground and used it as a crutch, and the Tang army rested on it.

    The Tibetan generals were also strange. They kept giving advice and talking, but they couldn't figure out the intentions of the Tang army.

    Finally, the heavy infantry took action.  This time, not one group of heavy infantry moved, but two groups moved, one group heading east and the other heading west.

    Cheng Xiaotian's vanguard was divided into two, guarding the heavy infantry.

    This is even more surprising. Before Chidezuzan could figure it out, the heavy infantry was suddenly divided into four teams and moved in four directions: east, west, north and south.  Chi Dezuzan suddenly understood that the Tang army had a huge appetite, and Ge Shuhan wanted to use 20,000 heavy infantry to annihilate his army of hundreds of thousands.

    "Fantasy! Twenty thousand heavy infantrymen want to annihilate my army of hundreds of thousands. The idea is bold and destined to fail!" Chi De Zuzan sneered at Ge Shuhan's idea.

    In the face of heavy infantry, the Tibetan army had no power to fight back. It only wanted to annihilate hundreds of thousands of people with only 20,000 soldiers.Come out, there are tens of thousands of war horses on the north bank.

    "Of course we brought it!" Ge Shuhan replied.

    Cheng Xiaotian was even more surprised: "This is a cavalry horse! How did it get into your hands? Could it be that the cavalry gave the horse to you?"

    This was too unbelievable, but Ge Shuhan nodded and said: "Yes! This is a cavalry horse. As soon as I received the order, the little devil came up with an idea, saying that he wanted us to rush as quickly as possible.  Come, ask the cavalry to give up their horses for us to use. General Cheng, didn¡¯t you see that General Fei¡¯s face is so elongated, it¡¯s longer than a horse¡¯s face!¡±

    Speaking of later, it was already laughing.

    "So happy! So happy!" Cheng Xiaotian laughed endlessly and clapped his hands in appreciation: "Fei Junxing always thought that his cavalry was very fast, but now it's better. Without the horses, how can his cavalry be so fast? The cavalry turns into infantry. This method is very novel.  !¡±

    Ge Shuhan continued: "We each have three war horses. One is used for riding, one is used to carry equipment and dry food, and the other is resting in preparation for rotation. Do you think we can't be fast?"

    "It must be fast! It's much faster than the cavalry that travels on two legs!" Cheng Xiaotian was very happy and smiled very happily. Suddenly, the smile froze on his face and he touched his forehead: "That's not right! Take the photo!  So, you should have arrived at the battlefield a long time ago, why haven't you been ready to join the battle? The grass here has fallen, a big area, and you are sleeping here? Brother Shuhan, you are sleeping here while you watch us fight to the death,  Do you know your sin?"

    With eyes wide open, he pointed at Ge Shuhan, wishing he could give Ge Shuhan two slaps.

    Cheng Xiaotian is almost desperate. Brother Shuhan is lucky to arrive early and sleep here. Anyone would get angry about this kind of thing. You can¡¯t blame Cheng Xiaotian!

    Ge Shuhan's face was solemn: "General Cheng, you can't talk nonsense. Do you think I want to sleep here? We have traveled hundreds of miles, and we are exhausted. We will go into battle as soon as we arrive. What kind of combat power do we have?"  This is heavy infantry, not cavalry, and the equipment alone weighs hundreds of kilograms. How can we fight if we don¡¯t get some sleep and recover? I don¡¯t just need a pontoon bridge, but also an open space to prepare for the arrival of the army."

    Cheng Xiaotian, who was so angry that he couldn't express his anger at all, was silent for a long time, and then said: "General Geshu, your handling is right, and I am blameless. However, when I think about this, I feel bad, you have to ask me  Have a drink!¡±

    From the overall situation, Ge Shuhan¡¯s handling is understandable!  Cheng Xiaotian knew that he had handled it correctly, but it was difficult for him to accept it emotionally. He asked his brother Shuhan to treat him to a drink, just to apologize and get an explanation. There was no other meaning.

    "Okay! No problem! When Luoshou City is captured, I'll treat you to a drink!" Ge Shuhan readily agreed.  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com.
