People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 988: Dafeichuan, Dafeiling; the grass is low when the wind blows, and murderous intent is seen

The new moon is like a hook, shining on Dafeichuan.

The night was hazy and clear.

Amidst the low neighing of horses, Lun Qinling stepped forward expressionlessly, while tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry bowed their heads at the same time, in a solemn and solemn manner.

His eyes fell on the Tang Army camp in front of him, which had been silent for a day, and a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Lun Qinling's lips.

Disdain for Liu Shenli.

"Send the order!" Lun Qinling spoke, and all the generals bowed. Lun Qinling raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Attack, fire attack."

"Here!" Countless generals moved forward at the same time, and their horses quickly led them back to their respective military formations.

The firelight flickered, and more than [-] Tibetan cavalry appeared in Dafeichuan.

Not just [-], Qinling has already assigned [-] cavalry to Xinghai and [-] cavalry to Tuyuhun today.

Just in front of me, Qinling can mobilize more than [-] cavalry.

In addition to the more than [-] casualties in Wuhai and the [-] cavalry in Dahuashi Gorge, the number of soldiers mobilized for the battle at Qinling was close to [-].

not to mention……

Countless armies rushed forward, rushing towards the three front, middle and rear camps of the Tang Dynasty. Before they could get close, countless rockets were already shooting out of the sky.

The north wind suddenly rose, but Lun Qinling quietly turned around at this moment.

Five miles behind, a large camp stood quietly.

Thousands of Tibetan cavalry have dismounted to rest, and all the heavy armor on their horses has been lowered.

Heavy cavalry, Qin Ling's most important weapon, heavy cavalry.

During the battle ahead, Lun Qinling let them rest overnight.

Lun Qinling raised his head and looked towards the back of the heavy cavalry camp.

A few miles away, there was also a large camp with flickering fire, and the tens of thousands of cavalrymen in the camp also chose to fall asleep at the same time.

These are the Tibetan elite cavalry, five thousand tiger divisions, and five thousand leopard divisions in Qinling.

In the battle of Dafeichuan, he only had [-] Tibetan elites left in his hands, and the rest were all servant soldiers such as Su Pi, Yang Tong, and Dang Xiang.

There are Tibetan tigers and leopards holding the battle line, and these servant cavalry are equally brave and powerful.

In the quiet camp, someone had prepared a resting place for Lun Qinling. The moment before falling asleep, he squinted his eyes and looked at Dafeichuan.

Countless rockets fell into the military stronghold, quickly igniting flames, but were quickly extinguished by the soldiers inside.

As the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Shenli could not consider the potential of fire attack when setting up a camp.

A large amount of water has long been stored in the military camp.

It's just that under the rocket, it's too easy to be set on fire.

Countless Tubo soldiers were running around the front, middle and back camps. Although they were exposed when they fired rockets, it was difficult for the counterattacks from the camp to hurt them.

The flames visible to the naked eye in the camp were rapidly growing in size, but only growing in size.

When the flames penetrated deeper, they were quickly controlled because the rockets couldn't reach them.

The range of the Tibetan bows and arrows was generally much shorter than that of the Tang Dynasty, which meant that their power was limited.

……

In the dark sky, a pair of eyes stared at everything, and in the blink of an eye, it was already flying towards Xinghai.

Such a night attack would probably last all night.

In the darkness, Li Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.

As for Qinling, it will keep the army awake all night!

In the Battle of Wuhai, Li Xuan, Wang Xiaojie, Heiji Changzhi and Li Duozuo were the ones who fought for the longest time.

Although he did not show fatigue on the battlefield, his fatigue was fully apparent when he came down from the battlefield.

If Li Xuan's arrangement at Changshui Pass works and burns the Tibetan army, then at least it can give them a chance to sleep.

But Qin Ling led his cavalry to advance slowly, as if he had known that Li Xuan was going to set a fire, and had prepared a large amount of water in advance and poured it down the mountain.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, even if one person has a skin bag of water, it is enough to wet the entire ground of Changshui Pass.

Although the distance between the two sides was widened, Lun Qinling still clung to the Tang cavalry, making it impossible for them to retreat with peace of mind, let alone sleep with peace of mind.

Throughout the day today, countless Tibetan cavalry were galloping outside the camp.

Sometimes they approach the Tang camp, and sometimes they quickly move away, leaving no room for the army to rest normally.

The strategy of tired soldiers.

Regarding Qin Ling, he was also an expert in the art of war. The Tubo people alone were not as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, but they always had an advantage in numbers.

But he had no idea that Xue Rengui and his main force of right guards had rested for more than one day.

Just waiting for tomorrow.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xuan stood up in the darkness and walked outside the door.

Countless torches were held high, spreading from the door to the long street outside the governor's mansion, where black-armored sergeants stood solemnly.

Li Xuan, who was also dressed in black clothes and armor, took the long spear from Li Zhu's hand from the side and said coldly: "Let's go."

"Here!" Countless cavalrymen followed Li Xuan, straight out of the Governor's Mansion, and then headed towards the west gate.

Outside the west gate, the sound of fighting continued like boiling water.

Like Dafeichuan, the Tubo people attacked Xinghai City at night, trying to drain the energy of the soldiers in the city.

But they had no idea that in the city, Li Xuan's black-armored cavalry had been sleeping deeply for the entire day.

Under the medicine, a tired person can easily fall asleep, even on the battlefield.

Li Xuan stood in front of the city gate. Dozens of soldiers stepped forward to remove the wooden stakes blocking the city. Zhang Huan and Yu Ze stood on one side.

Li Xuan turned sideways, looked at the two men and said: "After tonight, try your best to collect the horses on the battlefield, and then send them to Guinan and Tongde as soon as possible. These trophies are the key to Changzhou's future foothold and cannot be ignored."

"Here!" Zhang Huan and Yu Ze handed over their hands at the same time.

In today's battle, Li Xuan had already fully explained to them how to deal with all the changes in the battlefield.

They just have to follow orders.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, wanted to lead his thousand black cavalry to defeat the ten thousand Tibetan cavalry outside the city.

"Creak!" The city gate opened with a bang.In an instant, countless black-armored cavalry had already rushed to kill them under the disbelieving eyes of the Tubo people.

In the blink of an eye, the black-armored cavalry had penetrated the weakest point of the Tubo cavalry like a sword.

Just like a butler removing an ox, the black-armored cavalry were like sharp daggers, instantly killing the thousand Tubo Leopard Divisions in the Tubo army formation from the most unbelievable angle.

The other Tubo cavalry didn't even have time to react, as Chang Shan was already in front of them.

Thousands of Tubo Leopard Masters had just mounted their horses, and the masked faceless God of Killing had already charged in first.

Blood spattered, fell on the faceless hollow mask, and suddenly exploded.

……

The cavalry was in full swing, and their swords were long and life-threatening.

The long spear in Li Xuan's hand thrust forward, and the blood all over his body made the Tibetan cavalry in front of him frighten and dodge repeatedly, but it was already too late.

The body of the Tubo cavalry flew backwards in an instant. The next moment, the fierce horses rushed out, and the front was instantly open.

Countless black-armored cavalry rushed out from the Tubo camp like a torrent.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Li Xuan had already led his men out of the Tubo army formation.

The Tubo cavalry in the center of the military formation was already more than half dead at the feet of the black cavalry.

The head of the Tubo cavalryman was hung on the side of Li Xuan's horse.

The war horse galloped forward quickly, drew a huge arc, and jumped up the hillside in front. As soon as the momentum was over, the war horse immediately turned around.

Under the blood-red faceless mask, Li Xuan leaned forward slightly.

The next moment, the war horses galloped in and plunged into the Tubo army in front of them again like lightning.

In an instant, countless Tubo cavalry exploded.

Between the cavalry, thousands of soldiers were quickly killed, and tens of thousands of cavalry became a mess.

With a loud "dong" sound, three thousand Tuyuhun cavalry rushed out of Xinghai City.

Deep in his eyes, there was excitement.

……

By daybreak, the ground was covered with corpses.

The large groups of Tibetan cavalry knelt on the ground, were locked up by the soldiers and guards, and then separated and escorted into the city.

The Tuyuhun people were directly released and then incorporated into the Changzhou state soldiers.

Among the Su Pi, Yangtong, Dangxiang and other tribes, those who were strong and refused to surrender were directly beheaded, and those who were willing to surrender had their weapons confiscated and turned into labor.

All the Tubo people were beheaded.

The people who were beheaded were all surrendered Tuyuhun people, and were supervised by Subi, Yangtong, Dangxiang and other tribesmen.

Killing to regain people's hearts is Li Xuan's most commonly used and most effective method.

After a night of fighting, the Tubo cavalry either died or surrendered, and most of them were lost.

There were also a few people who escaped, but they did not flee to Dafeichuan. Instead, they were driven to the direction of Qugou by a thousand Tubo cavalry.

When they arrive at the Shazhuyu River, the three thousand Tuyuhun soldiers in Qugou will attack at the same time, forcing them to the northwest and towards Dafeichuan.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked in the direction of Da Feichuan.

After a night passed, it was time for Qin Ling and his elite men to rest.

The battle between Qinghai and Tang Dynasty will come to its final conclusion today.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and the next moment, thousands of black-armored cavalry were slowly moving towards Dafeichuan.

……

Dafeichuan, Dafeiling.

The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.

The sky is blue, the wild is vast.

The grass is low when the wind blows, and you see murderous intent.

……

The huge trumpet blew the horn and made a roaring sound.

The endless sound of horse hooves moved forward on the grassland, and tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry retreated back like a flood.

Finally, like two huge arms that encompassed the entire Tang Army camp, they stood solemnly on the grassland.

The heavy sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Lun Qinling, surrounded by thousands of heavy armors and dressed in military uniform, appeared two miles away from the front camp of the Tang Army's front camp.

The Tang camp, which had been ravaged by the Tibetan cavalry all night, finally appeared in front of Lun Qinling.

The outer camp of the Tang Army's front camp had been completely burned to a white ground.

The trap that Datang had built for three months was completely burned down, leaving only the inner village standing behind heavy trees.

The situation in the middle village was even more serious, and even the inner village had begun to burn with raging fire.

As for the rear village, it was completely burned down overnight.

Even the little food and grass involved inside were completely burned.

That is to say, they took advantage of the suddenness, otherwise the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who came to the second stronghold would not be able to escape to the middle stronghold and would be completely burned to death.

Lun Qinling withdrew his gaze and looked at the front camp of the Tang Army's stronghold. He turned sideways and looked at the deputy general beside him, and whispered a few instructions.

The deputy general handed over his hand, then urged his horse forward alone, stood one mile away from the Tang camp, and shouted loudly: "The Prime Minister of Tubo is discussing the Qinling Mausoleum. I would like to invite Liu Shenli, the military commander of the Northwest Road of the Tang Dynasty, and the Minister of Industry to come forward and speak. .”

The entire Datang camp suddenly became solemn.

Pre-military dialogue is not very common. Dialogue will only be initiated when one party has absolute confidence in the other party.

But most of this kind of dialogue is used to shake people's intentions.

However, once proposed, few people refuse, because this method, as long as it is manipulated, can be used to shake the enemy's military morale.

Liu Shenli stepped forward slowly alone. Behind him, the huge bed crossbow had been raised.

As for Qin Ling, he also went forward alone. He was the Prime Minister of Tubo and had a good reputation.

In front of the army, the coaches are at odds.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were silent, and the heaven and earth were solemn.
