Three days came in a blink of an eye. When the ashen-faced Zadayan and his 50,000-strong army were blocked under a mound twenty miles away from Fuqi City, he saw two Tang troops with clear banners blocking their front line so arrogantly. The way to go. It seems that the number of Tang troops blocking the road is not large. One army has about 5,000 soldiers, and the other army has even fewer soldiers. It is estimated that it will not exceed 3,000 soldiers at most. Looking at the flags of these two armies, one central army position has a large flag with the word "Íõ" hanging high, and the other central army position has a large flag with the word "zhou" hanging high. The two Tang armies were arranged in a horn formation in front of the main force of the Tang army further away, and their provocative intentions were very obvious. Zadayan, who had an ugly face originally, frowned tightly when he saw that the Tang army in front dared to go out of the city to fight, and even deployed two small troops to provoke. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Zadayan learned about the battle situation ahead a few days ago. When he heard that the 50,000 Tubo main battle troops were surrounded and killed by the Tang army at the foot of Fuqi City, besides being extremely angry, it was difficult to conceal his anger. of shock and disbelief. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Before leaving, the task given to Zadayan by Dazan Puchidezuzan was to integrate all the Tibetan forces in Qinghai, take full command of the war in Qinghai, rescue Dalun Kilixu, and drive all the treacherous Tang troops out of Tubo territory. If the conditions With permission, several cities located in the Hehuang Valley were seized from the Tang army. When the veteran general Zadayan saw that the Tang army had abandoned the danger of the city and placed its troops in the wilderness, intending to engage in a field battle with his own side. He then realized that it might be difficult to complete the task assigned by Chide Zuzan this time. Although he felt uneasy, in line with the principle of losing no one but not losing the formation, Zadayan immediately mobilized the elite of the army to form two formations of five thousand each, and then commanded these two troops to fight with the two troops not far ahead. Tang Jun, who was in a provocative posture, pressed forward hard! It's not that Zadayan really wanted to talk about the gentleman's style, so he didn't press the 50,000 main force at the same time. It was because he still didn't know how many soldiers and horses the main force behind the Tang army had. If he did it so rashly, Putting the main force into the battlefield, once it is entangled by the two dying Tang Army troops in front, the main force of the Tang Army can calmly adjust its formation. Launch a fatal blow from the periphery to the main Tibetan force trapped in close combat. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually. The two coaches Cui Xiyi and Guo Yingyi do have this plan. At present, the main force of the Tang Army that Zadayan has seen is only part of the Shanzhou Allied Forces, while the Hexi Allied Forces with greater strength have already maneuvered into Fuqi City. Once the main forces of the two sides are fighting in one place. Cui Xiyi didn't mind leading the army out of the city. Let Zadayan finally suffer in the battlefield. Looking at the Tibetan troops in the distance, a mixture of infantry and cavalry, pressing towards us. Zhou Chengye twitched the corner of his mouth a little stiffly, and then said to himself: "This Zadayan is really shameless. As expected, he will be lower than the higher. Fight our army according to the strength of the White Water Army!" His brother Shu Han said with a murderous look on his face: "Don't worry, general, even if the other side sends out 5,000 troops and ours only has 3,000 troops, we will definitely fight better than the Baishui Army!" Nan Jiyun played with the gun in his hand. The black giant bow also said with confidence: "I and my brothers have experienced several Tubo dog charges at Niuxindui. However, as long as we can withstand the first two waves of their attacks, the victory is basically It belongs to us!" After hearing the words of his two fierce generals, Zhou Chengye did not show any arrogance, but said in a deep voice: "The Tubo people will definitely let the cavalry in front charge in an attempt to defeat our army. The formation broke up, and then the infantry that followed came to cover up, completely losing the chance of resistance. In the end, the cavalry on the other side carried out a penetration attack, and the infantry carried out a divided encirclement and annihilation of me! " "Password to the cavalry battalion! Ge Shuhan immediately led his battalion of 1,500 cavalry to fight, making sure to completely crush the first charge of the Tibetan cavalry! After the cavalry battalion penetrated the Tibetan army formation, Nan Jiyun led 500 longbowmen to conduct concentrated fire from a long distance; Erlong led 500 spearmen and 500 axe-halberdmen to fight in the end, making sure that the Tibetans never come back!" Tuesday's three gold medal thugs took orders one after another and immediately commanded their soldiers to prepare for the battle. When Ge Shuhan attacked Fuqi City at night, didn't he only bring 500 heavy cavalry and 200 light cavalry? Why did this battle become 1,500 cavalry? We must not forget that there are thousands of Tuyuhun people in Fuqi City who have taken refuge with the Suirong Army. These young and strong Tuyuhun people are already used to raising horses on horseback. As long as they are equipped with war horses and weapons, they will become a ready-made cavalry unit, which is definitely more effective than letting them carry out defensive operations at the top of the city. Works well. The Tubo people left Fuqi City in such a state that they had no time to transport out the thousands of high-quality war horses kept in the city. When Nan Jiyun came from Menggu to support him, he also brought thousands of war horses with him, which was enough for Zhou Chengye to arm himself. Raise a cavalry force of more than 3,000 people. In line with the principle of erring on the side of shortage rather than waste, Zhou Chengye finally selected only a thousand people from the Tuyuhun people as reserve cavalry, of which 500 were assigned to the heavy cavalry battalion and 500 to the light cavalry battalion. They are all currently under the command of Ge Shuhan. Due to casualties, only a little over 500 of the 700 cavalry brought by Ge Shuhan from Suirong City are now left. Together with the newly added 1,000 cavalry, the number is exactly 1,500. In addition to increasing the strength of the second cavalry battalion by 1,000 men, on Tuesday, a thousand men who were skilled in archery and strong and strong were selected from the remaining young men in Tuyuhun to supplement the crossbow battalion and ax shield battalion in the infantry, so that His own strength in Fuqi City barely reached 3,500. In this battle, only one hundred cavalry, one hundred guard battalion guards, and three hundred Han army infantry were left in the city on Tuesday, as the spark for the future expansion of the Suirong Army, while the rest of the troops followed him out of the city to fight. From the combat order issued just now on Tuesday, it is not difficult to see that the tactics used by the Suirong Army to meet the enemy this time are actually similar to those of the Tibetans on the opposite side. It can be said to be a head-on battle. The Tubo people put their cavalry in front to charge, and on Tuesday they handed over all the cavalry they had to Ge Shuhan to fight with him; the Tubo people planned to take advantage of their cavalry to break through the Tang army's formation and send out infantry to expand the results. The same arrangement was made on Tuesday Longbowmen, pikemen, axemen and other infantry followed closely behind the cavalry, intending to give the Tibetans a hard blow. The arrangement on Tuesday seemed a bit too arrogant and high-profile, but it was not just a moment of enthusiasm, but a strategy based on the actual situation on the battlefield. There were quite a few differences in the fighting methods between the Tubo people and the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, especially in terms of mounted combat. Most of the territory of the Tubo Kingdom is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Due to climate and altitude reasons, tall war horses are not produced in its territory, and the number of war horses is not very abundant. Therefore, the overall combat effectiveness of the Tubo cavalry is inferior. To the Turks. There is still a gap between the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry and the Turkic cavalry, but compared with the Tubo cavalry, they have certain advantages in terms of explosive power during frontal charges and the equipment and armor of the soldiers and horses. As long as the troops participating in the battle maintain strong Fighting spirit and desire to win, then the Tang Army cavalry did not suffer when they met on a narrow road. This is the reason why Wang Zhongsi, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, not only rarely suffered defeats against the Tibetan cavalry, but also often fought classic battles in which he defeated more with less. The Suirong Army was busy deploying troops and generals, while the Heyuan Army on the other side was also making preparations for the battle in an orderly manner. Wang Zhongsi chose the same tactics as Zhou Chengye, and also placed all the elite cavalry of the Heyuan Army at the front of the battle formation, and he himself served as the arrowhead for the cavalry charge, which shows how confident this fierce man is in his martial arts. . Tuesday thought he was not as good as Wang Zhongsi in cavalry combat, but he had recruited Brother Madman, who was originally Wang Zhongsi's subordinate, under his command early, so he was not worried at all that there would be no strong general at the forefront of the cavalry to lead the team. " Moreover, on Tuesday, not only did Ge Shuhan, a fierce cavalry warrior, but also Nan Jiyun, another outstanding man under his command who had just beaten the Tubo people and vomited blood, was also qualified to be the vanguard of cavalry warfare. Nan Jiyun is a bit like a ruthless character like Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms. Not only is his marksmanship very powerful, but his archery skills are also superb. He can also kill enemies with other short weapons such as swords, axes and halberds, so he should not be underestimated. "Dong, dong, dong" The thunderous drum sound echoed through the wilderness. "Woo, woo, woo" The desolate and long horns penetrated the sky. "Kill all the Tubo dogs!" Wang Zhongsi swung his spear forward like a tiger descending the mountain, and faced the rolling Tubo cavalry without hesitation. "Brothers, follow me and charge!" Ge Shuhan held a long horse spear and led the way towards the Tibetan people like a curly lion. His guard Zuo Cha couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick it. His lips showed a bloodthirsty expression. The high-speed galloping war horses collided with each other fiercely at the next moment. Some people kept being hit by flying arrows and falling, some kept having their arms and necks cut off by sharp sabers, some kept having their chests pierced by spears, and some kept being hit by the mad war horses. Dragging and rushing forward, injured soldiers were constantly trampled into pulp by the chaotic horse hooves When they met on a narrow road, the brave would win. The bravery of Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan greatly infected the followers around them, and they desperately gathered together. The two fierce generals formed an unstoppable offensive front on both sides, ruthlessly carving out shocking blood grooves in the Tibetan army. Although there are soldiers on both sides of the war who are constantly sufferingThey died peacefully, but the two troops on the Tang side became more and more courageous as they fought under the leadership of their respective generals, while the Tubo side became more and more frustrated as they fought. They had been frightened by the crazy fighting methods of Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan. Emboldened. Seeing that the formation of the Tibetan cavalry was completely messy, Tuesday, who was at the rear, gave the order without expression: "The infantry will form a formation and annihilate the enemy in three stages!"
