    Ge Shuhan left Suirong City with 700 cavalry overnight. Under the cover of the thick night, they wandered on the north shore of Qinghai Lake, staying day and night, and gradually moved toward the Qinghai Jiedu envoy Kilixu of the Tubo Kingdom to garrison.  Fuqi City is approaching.  "Fuqi" is a Xianbei language, and its Chinese meaning is "City of Kings".  Fuqi City connects Xiping and Jincheng to the east, Yizhou to the south, and Shanshan to the west. It once played a very important role in the transportation line between China and the West.  Before the Tubo Kingdom destroyed Tuyuhun, Fuqi City was the royal city of Tuyuhun. In the more than a hundred years before it was captured, it developed into the most prosperous and bustling city in the west of Qinghai.  The seven hundred cavalrymen traveled westward. Although they tried their best to hide their traces and marched at night, they still encountered many Tuyuhun and Tubo people grazing by the lake.  Regarding these small tribes and scattered Tubo horsemen that appeared in sight, Geshuhan issued his first order since becoming a general, which was to kill all living creatures that dared to run in front of his army.  There is no need to chase the Tubo and Tyuhun people who fled north.  As early as last year when Zhou Chengye came to Shanzhou, he pointed out to Guo Yingyi that the number of soldiers in Shanzhou's army suffered from "blindness", that is, night blindness, and made suggestions for improvement, which was to let the soldiers eat more  Foods rich in vitamin A.  Of course, Guo Yingyi will not explain to Guo Yingyi what vitamin A is on Tuesday. He only proposed that soldiers should regularly eat carrots, pork liver, sheep liver, beef liver, chopped green onion, ginger slices and other foods, which can greatly reduce the risk of "blindfolded eyes".  "The number of soldiers.  And Guo Yingyi did listen to Tuesday¡¯s suggestion. These ingredients are not rare anyway.  The price was also cheap, so each army was asked to change the food ratio. ?????????? Wait until we arrive in Suirong City on Tuesday.  Naturally, he would not neglect this point. In the recipes he personally formulated for the troops, he not only took into account the prevention of night blindness, but also other endemic diseases such as great neck disease, plague, and hemorrhagic fever.  among the list.  Now you can see how important and timely the work done on Tuesday was.  In the dark night, the knights around Ge Shuhan all had very bright eyes. They could see the distant scenes clearly through the starlight and moonlight.  This is very beneficial for the troops to pursue those fish that slipped through the net.  In addition, the new crossbows equipped by the cavalry have significantly improved their range. They are not only fast to launch, but also easy to operate and powerful.  The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, which had got rid of night blindness, were equipped with powerful new bows and arrows.  Moreover, they were still acting like horse bandits on the grassland, but as they rushed towards Fuqi City, no one could stop this lonely and deep-going army.  The straight-line distance between Suirong City and Fuqi City is about three hundred miles. Because Ge Shuhan marched along the shore of Qinghai Lake, the actual marching distance was about four hundred and fifty miles.  Seven hundred cavalry and fifty guards with special operations missions used 2,000 of the best horses in the Suirong army.  After three nights of marching, they finally arrived at the Buha River ten miles north of Fuqi City at dawn on the fourth day.  Seven hundred cavalrymen stood quietly on the banks of the Buha River at the darkest moment before dawn, listening to their general's mobilization before the start of the war.  "Brothers. Ahead is Fuqi City where Kilixu is hiding. We all rush into the city with me and capture him alive. Each person can get at least three hundred points of military merit. If Fuqi City is captured, each person can get at least two  "Hundred points of military merit!" "If you want to take the lead in military merit, come with me!" After saying this, Ge Shuhan slapped the horse's butt hard and took the lead in rushing towards the other side of the Buha River.  closely following Ge Shuhan was a young man from Kongwu who was only eighteen years old. His name was Zuo Che, and he was the follower Ge Shuhan brought to the army from Chang'an.  Zuo Che's arm strength is astonishing. He has been practicing how to cut off the enemy's head with one knife during the more than two months since he entered the camp.  Long before Ge Shuhan led 700 cavalry to cross the Buha River, fifty guards wearing Tubo costumes had already crossed the Buha River in advance.  They mainly have two tasks when they go out with Ge Shuhan this time.  One is to assist Ge Shuhan to quickly break through the north gate of Fuqi City, and the other is to rush into the city to create chaos and keep an eye on Kilixu's whereabouts.  Fifty team members approached Fuqi City in the dark, and finally woke up the Tibetans patrolling the city.  The leader of the Tubo city guard shouted down in Tubo: "Where did you come from outside the city? Why are you coming to make noise at this time! If you don't retreat quickly, we will shoot arrows!" Among the guards, there was a man who was proficient in Tubo and Tuyuhun.  Speaking in human language, he stood up and replied in Tyuhun dialect: "Chief Qi, when our tribe was grazing in the northwest corner of the West Sea, we suddenly encountered a large group of horse thieves. They killed our tribesmen and robbed our things. Now  They are coming towards this side very quickly!¡±The Tubo leader at the top of the city scolded loudly: "Nonsense, this area is the territory of our Tubo country. I have never heard of such a group of horse thieves. If you want to enter the city, you should wait until dawn!" "Please open the city."  Let us go in and take shelter. There is a bag of gold and silver jewelry here for you!" After saying this, the Tyuhun people below the city revealed some gold and silver jewelry.  After seeing this, the general who defended the city swallowed greedily, but due to the rules set by Kilixu, he was a little hesitant to secretly make something special.  At this moment, the sound of war horses neighing and galloping was heard in the distance, and a long dragon made of torches suddenly lit up. It looked like there were at least two hundred people there.  The Tibetan leader at the top of the city suddenly raised his eyebrows, stared, and cursed loudly: "Where did the horse thief come from? He was so bold that he dared to make noise outside Fuqi City! There is no need to alarm Master Kilixu about this matter, let me  Gather the five hundred brothers at the north gate and go out and kill these guys who are looking for death!" According to the Tubo guard at the north gate, there are five thousand elite soldiers stationed in Fuqi City, unless they are besieged by tens of thousands of troops from the Tang Dynasty!  , there is no danger of collapse at all.  And these grassland horse thieves who came outside the city to hunt down the Tuyuhun tribesmen were no match for the five hundred Tubo cavalry!  After a while, the Tubo garrison gathered the five hundred cavalry of his headquarters, and immediately ordered the north gate to be opened. He first let in the fifty Tuyuhun people who were trembling with fear, and then collected the bag of gold and silver jewelry and gave them to him.  Ran out of the north gate.  The two hundred men holding torches and pretending to be horse thieves were soldiers from the light cavalry battalion brought by Ge Shuhan. When they saw a large number of cavalry rushing out of the city, they scattered in panic and fled north.  When the Tubo soldiers saw this, they burst into laughter, and then chased them with shouts.  After chasing for five miles, the Tubo general felt something was wrong. He was about to order his troops to gather up and retreat into the city, but suddenly he heard the dull sound of horse hooves from not far away.  This time, it was Ge Shuhan who led five hundred heavy cavalry who had already put on armor and protective gear to kill them!  "Erlangs, kill!" Brother Shuhan, who was leading the way, waved the astonishingly long horse pole and rushed in front of the Tubo general like a god descending from the earth.  The Tibetans, who had no time to gather and retreat, were panicked at this time, but they did not run away. Instead, they rushed towards the direction where the enemy was coming.  ??The Tibetan cavalry has always been chasing others to kill. When have they ever been afraid of others?  However, the Tubo people soon discovered that they had encountered a group of lunatics this time!  The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, wearing high-strength armor and helmets, their horses were also covered in mail and thick leather. At this time, with the help of huge inertia, they rushed in like ferocious beasts.  Among the Tubo cavalry.  The enemy¡¯s sharp eyes, sharp sabers, fast-firing one-handed crossbows, and hard armor, all combined together, become a nightmare for the Tubo cavalry!  In addition, there were also the two hundred horse thieves who had just made a show of escaping. At this time, they also turned their horses and came over to kill them. They specially took advantage of the situation and strangled the lone Tubo cavalry in the periphery.  Ge Shuhan's horse-riding skills were the best in the Suirong army. At this time, he finally burst out with terrible fighting power. Every time he shouted, he would lift the enemy off the horse and then throw him hard to the enemy.  ground.  The left chariot following him, brandishing a long-handled weapon that looked like a scythe, quickly harvested the heads of the Tibetan cavalry who had fallen to the ground. After a while, there were more than a dozen bloody heads hanging on the horse's back.  Gooey heads!  The battle outside the city showed a one-sided situation from the beginning. This was due to the carelessness and pride of the Tubo people, the surge in combat power of the Suirong Army, and the upgrading of equipment of the Suirong Army. But the most important thing was  At one point, he killed a Tibetan man by surprise because of his mental arithmetic.  The massacre ended quickly. The Tibetan soldiers who stayed at the top of the city only heard faint shouts of killing in the distance. They thought their leader was chasing the desperate horse thieves and crying for their fathers and mothers!  At this time, the sky in the east has begun to show some blue-grey light, and it is about to dawn.  Ge Shuhan turned to look at the corpses on the ground and laughed and said: "Brothers, was it fun to kill?" "It was fun!" "Do you want to rush into the city and capture Kilisu alive?" "Yes!" "Okay.  , come with me!" The fifty Tuyuhun people who had hid in the city had already dispersed when the army was leaving the city. They seemed to be frightened. Even after they arrived in the city, they still left some luggage and  thing.  However, there were also a few Tuyuhun people who were brave. They did not leave below the city gate, saying that they wanted to wait for the Tuyuhun people.?After the Lord led his team back, he personally expressed his gratitude to the Lord for avenging his own people!  The small number of Tibetan soldiers left behind at the top of the city were now attracted by the troops leaving the city, so they simply let these Tuyuhun people stay where they were. Anyway, there was no need to worry about any trouble they would cause.  .
