Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 548

The Tubo people grew up in a bitter and cold place, and they have always been brave. Seeing that the retreat has been lost, they are inexplicably sad and indignant. Seeing that their general has launched a desperate charge, they can't help but feel the same hatred against the enemy. Howling, he twisted his horse's head, and followed Sisu Nalu madly, and swept towards the Tang army's cavalry formation like a raging wave. Although the formation was chaotic, the momentum swelled to the extreme, full of killing intent .

"Withdraw! Bow and crossbow ready!"

Facing the trapped Tubo cavalry army, Wang Bing didn't dare to be careless at all. He didn't want to fight to the end with these mad dogs. Seeing the Tubo army charging fiercely, he ordered the whole army to retreat without hesitation. , all took off the crossbow hanging from the saddle.

"Fire arrows!"

The Tang army was originally stationed on the horse and stood still. At this time, the speed of turning the horse's head and retreating was naturally too fast. Before the Tang army's horses were exhausted, the Tubo cavalry rushed wildly to a distance of only forty steps away from the Tang army's rearguard. , and the distance was still decreasing sharply. When they were about to be overtaken by the Tubo cavalry, Wang Bing yelled violently. He caught up with the Tubo chasing soldiers galloping forward, and unceremoniously attacked and killed them with a volley of arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

This Anxi iron cavalry is Wang Bing's direct line of troops. The crossbows used are not the short crossbows of the Tang army, but the serial crossbows produced by Hexi. Each crossbow is equipped with as many as ten arrows. Shooting at the same time, it was really like a storm, and instantly shot the unprepared Tubo cavalry on their backs. Even Sisunalu, the leading general who rushed to the front, could not escape, and was thrown into chaos. The arrow turned into a hedgehog, and before he could even make a sound, he was completely dead.

"Kill all the thieves!"

Wang Bing was not a very soft-hearted person, seeing the Tubo chasing soldiers behind him in a mess, he would not let go of such a good opportunity to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, so he roared loudly, and led his troops to make a sharp turn on the battlefield, Going around in a half circle, they rushed towards the Tubo rebel army at high speed. The poor Tubo cavalry army hadn't recovered from the sudden arrow rain attack. Being rushed to pieces, the morale that was equivalent to the enemy's hatred was gone in an instant. With no casualties, the rest discarded their weapons, raised their hands, and obediently became prisoners. The decisive battle of the cavalry has come to an end, and the Tang army has won a complete victory!
The battle was fought extremely smoothly, and only paid a price of more than [-] casualties, and wiped out more than [-] Tubo cavalry troops. It is no exaggeration to say that it was extremely brilliant, but Wang Bing did not He was not very proud, not even a smiling face, because after interrogating the prisoners of war, Wang Bing had already confirmed several things that he had foreseen before—First, the Anxi Army's conspire to seize Wuhai City was as early as in Tubo According to the army's calculations, for this reason, despite the shortage of troops everywhere, Wuhai City still retains [-] troops. In addition to the [-] cavalry that have been wiped out, there are also [-] infantry troops. With the current strength of the Tang army, it is not easy to conquer Wuhai, let alone Lu Yanda, a general with good ability, is in charge. At this moment, I am afraid that I have fallen into the trap carefully designed by the Prime Minister of Tubo, but it is hard to say whether I can resist it.

"Order: The whole army rests on the spot!"

Wang Bing really wanted to raise his army back to help his main force in trouble, but his reason clearly told him that doing so would not be of any use other than death for nothing, because Nagar Qinling was not Idiot, since he dared to let Wang Bing come to take Wuhai City, there must be an ambush to prevent his troops from returning to the main force. If Wang Bingzhen dared to lead his troops to go the same way, he would be plotted in all likelihood. It doesn't make sense, but there is still a glimmer of life in the capture of Wuhai City. However, the soldiers' physical strength has not recovered, and it is really not the time to launch a siege battle. The whole army rested on the spot, and only some officers and soldiers were sent to escort the captured more than [-] Tubo prisoners of war to cut wood for ladders. The Tubo army in the city also kept silent tacitly, and did not send troops to harass the Tang army's rest. Wuhai City The war has come to an end for the time being... At four o'clock, it was almost noon, but the camp of the Tang Army stationed on the edge of the Qaidam Basin was still quiet and there was no movement. It looked as if the frantic rush of the past few days was just an illusion. Once this happened, the Tubo army lurking in Tianjun Mountain was a little bit confused, not just the troops below. Even Gar Qinling had some trouble thinking about it. When he was suspicious, he personally led his confidant generals to sneak to a hidden high place, overlooking the Tang army's camp.

"Yin Gong, what do you think?"

Gar Qinling looked at the Tang army's camp silently, and didn't say a word for a long time, but his brows were unconsciously frowned. After a long while, he asked a question without looking back. .

"Father, is there any news from Shanzhou in the past two days?"

Gar Yingong didn't answer his father's question directly, but raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Well, not yet."

Hearing his son's strange question, Gar Qinling was taken aback for a moment, then nodded as if he had realized something, but he didn't express the suspicion in his heart, but said calmly: .

"That's right, father, if the child's predictions are not bad, I'm afraid that Li Xian's son is rushing here, and there is not much time left for our army."

Gar Yingong shook his head, sighed slightly, and gave a somewhat sensational judgment.

"Hiss... what does the Major General mean by this?"

"Shouldn't it be enough?"

"How is this possible?"

Gar Yingong's judgment was too shocking. All the Tubo generals who had been silently accompanying him all gasped for it. Before Gar Qinling could speak, they all exclaimed. When he got up, the sound became noisy for a while.

"En!" Gar Qinling raised his hand with a hint of displeasure, groaned softly, stopped the commotion of the generals, looked at the eldest son with strange eyes, pursed his lower lip, and He opened his mouth suspiciously and said, "How can you see that?"

"Father, our army is good at raising eagles for communication, and Li Xian's son is also good at this. There must be this thing between the two soldiers and horses on the other side for communication. No matter how strict our army is on guard, the news will not be cut off. I think my father should know this one, so the child will stop talking. Well, if you ask the child what is the basis for his words, then you have to start from the trip of the Tang army yesterday. Father, look, how many days ago the Tang thief The day hastened all the way, but yesterday, although the camp was pulled out very early, it was only less than [-] miles away, and then the camp was set up again, which was fifteen miles away from the ambush circle of our army. To kill a horse, it takes more than half an hour's footsteps, which is enough for the Tang thieves to calmly deploy the formation. From this, it can be seen that the Tang thieves are obviously prepared to guard against our army's ambush, and then think about the direction of Shanzhou We can see that Li Xian'er may have guessed our army's intentions. The reason why there is no news is that the sentry sent out by our troops has been wiped out by the Tang thieves. Calculated according to the marching pace of the Tang thieves, Our army only has one day to spare at most, so I ask my father to make a clear decision on where to go."

Gar Yingong ignored the strange faces of the generals, bowed respectfully to his father, and unhurriedly explained his deduction in detail.

"Well……"

Gar Qinling was not in a hurry to make a decision, but carefully chewed on his son's deduction, his brows were tightly knit into a "Chuan", and after a long time, he asked inquiringly: "According to your See, how is this going to happen?"

"Returning to my father, at this delicate moment, my son thought that our army had only two choices. One is to fight out of Tianjun Mountain and wipe out the enemies from Anxi first, and then return to the division to fight to the death with Li Xian'er. It is to leave empty soldiers to deal with this place, and the whole army will turn around immediately, first defeat Li Xian and Xiaoer, and then go back to deal with Anxi Tang Kou, other than that, there is no other way to think, if you delay, you may be trapped by the enemy. and also."

When it came to making a decision, Gar Yingong's expression immediately became solemn, his slightly immature face was full of dignity that did not match his age, and he gave two choices with a slight frown.

"Well, what my son said is very true. I have made up my mind. Suo Tuosuo, I will lead 2 troops to ambush this place. If the Anxitang bandits don't move, you can just guard Tianjun Mountain. If the Anxitang bandits come Attack, you only need to block the enemy bandits, don't let them pass through here, and the rest of the troops immediately turn to the southeast to destroy Li Xian!"

Gar Qinling was a courageous person, once he made a decision, he acted extremely quickly. Before the generals could react, he had already issued two orders in succession.

"promise!"

Gar Qinling has a very high prestige in the army. Since he has issued an order, the generals will naturally not have any objections. The sound of clamor suddenly rang out from behind the mountain, and all the generals were stunned on the spot immediately, no one knew what happened.

"what happened?"

As soon as he heard the sound of drums and shouts of killing, Gar Qinling's face immediately changed, and he let out a sombre drink, his voice unexpectedly revealing a sense of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Report, Prime Minister, the bandits from Tang came here suddenly and are engaged in a fierce battle with the rear army, please make it clear, Prime Minister!"

As soon as Gar Qinling made such a statement, his personal guards rushed down the mountain, and went to the back mountain to find out what happened. After a while, he saw a messenger rushing up the hill, stumbling to the In front of Gar Qinling, one knelt on the ground and reported aloud.

"what?"

As soon as he heard that the Tang army had arrived suddenly, Gar Qinling's face immediately turned ugly.
