On the battlefield where the Tibetan army was ambushed, the Tibetan forwards had been annihilated by Chang Zhong's 3,000 troops, leaving a small group of enemy troops that Chang Zhong had no time to pursue. He quickly assembled his troops and counted the casualties.

The losses were considerable. Although the three thousand soldiers and horses occupied the right time and place, hundreds of them were killed and hundreds more were seriously injured.

The vanguard of the Tibetan army was caught off guard and rushed to fight, but it still caused such great damage to the Tang army. It can be seen that there is a reason why the Tang Dynasty still had no choice but to do nothing about the Tubo after more than a hundred years of its founding. This shows the bravery and fierceness of the Tibetan people.

After gathering and counting, Chang Zhong ordered to continue to advance towards the Tibetan central army. According to the plan set by Gu Qing before the war, he annihilated the Tibetan forward and then quickly approached eastward, closing the entire encirclement and shrinking it, and annihilating the enemy forces.

The distance between the Tibetan forward and the Chinese army was only ten miles. Soon, Chang Zhong's soldiers and horses gradually approached the Tibetan middle army. At this time, the Tibetan middle army was being attacked by two Tang army soldiers and horses on the left and right sides, and suffered terribly.

After several thunderous charges, the Tubo army was in chaos. It was unable to form a formation in a hurry. Even its organizational structure was disrupted. The soldiers did not know the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers. The Tubo commander was surrounded by his guards in the center and gave orders loudly, but

All in vain.

Under the Tang Army's cavalry charges again and again, the Tubo commander's military orders could not be conveyed at all. Often, as soon as the Tubo Army soldiers received the order, the Tang Army's charge suddenly came at the next moment, forcibly rushing the Chinese army out of a blank area, and the Tubo soldiers

People are so busy fighting for their own lives that they completely forget about the commander's orders.

Under such an extremely disadvantageous situation, the Tubo Central Army did not collapse. The commander's orders could not be received, and the organization of the army was disrupted. However, the Tibetan soldiers did not give up. They gathered all the neighboring soldiers, and five

Six or seven or eight people formed a group, each forming a small defensive formation. They calmly defended themselves in the chaos, and occasionally used cold tricks to give the Tang army a sudden thrust.

In the later stage of the fierce battle, the main casualties of the Tang army came from the small formations formed by these ordinary enemy soldiers.

The trapped beast still fights, but in the end, the situation is over.

If you don't count the accidents caused by Shen Tian's troops at the rear, this was the first battle planned by Gu Qing. The effect was not perfect, there were two accidents, but the final result was still generally in line with Gu Qing's expectations.

Gu Qing was still lying on the sand dune from a distance, looking alone at the battlefield where the two armies were fighting in the distance.

Han Jie and a hundred personal guards had left, and as the support of the right army, they took up the position where Shen Tian's troops should have been, cutting off the Tibetan army's retreat.

With more than a thousand people, they had to single-handedly hold back tens of thousands of enemy troops from retreating. This task was indeed very arduous. Gu Qing silently worried about Han Jie and the others.

There is also Shen Tian's subordinate. Although he has not spent much time with Shen Tian, ​​Gu Qing knows that he is an upright and brave man. If the Khotan army had not encountered an irresistible accident, Shen Tian would never have been at this important moment.

Delaying the fighter plane.

An accident that can trap five thousand soldiers and horses must be a huge trouble.

Gu Qing lay alone on the sand dunes meditating. The Tibetan army below was already a little exhausted. As Chang Zhong's troops annihilated the forwards and encircled them, the pressure on the Tibetan army was even greater. Surrounded on three sides, the left and right were weak, unable to support themselves, and gradually showed a defeat.

.

Gu Qing cheered up and stared at the Tubo army. Although he was not very familiar with the battlefield, he could sense that the Tubo army's retreat would only happen in an instant. As long as the first person turned around and ran away, the morale of the army would collapse in an instant, and then the troops would retreat.

The defeat is overwhelming, and no matter how powerful the coach is, he can't restore the situation.

Chang Zhong commanded the team to approach slowly. With the addition of Chang Zhong's troops, the morale of the two Tang armies on the left and right became more and more inspired. The two generals were not mediocre. They made a decisive decision and launched another charge from the flanks. The two armies rushed into the enemy's formation, and then

He dismounted, cut the Tibetan army into pieces, and finally divided his troops and horses to surround the small group of Tibetan soldiers.

As the Tubo army was cut off, the situation on the battlefield suddenly went downhill. The Tubo army could no longer prevent a decent counterattack. The Chinese army was divided into countless pieces. The Tubo soldiers were heavily surrounded, struggling to resist the halberds and swords coming from all directions, as well as the sudden

A cold arrow suddenly shot from a corner.

At this moment, the cold arrows are causing a headache for the Tubo army. They don’t know where they come from. It seems that there are sharpshooters of the Tang army from all directions. What’s more terrible is that the target of the cold arrows is the general of the Tubo army. Whenever he sees someone in the team,

If you scold the roaring Tubo people, cold arrows will be fired mercilessly.

When the Tang army charged again and again, many Tubo generals were killed by cold arrows in a confused way. In the end, the Tubo generals were so frightened that no one, no matter how big or small, dared to give orders, for fear of exposing their whereabouts and being targeted by the Tang army's sharpshooters.

This was also the direct reason why the Tibetan army's command system was disorganized and almost collapsed.

When the Tubo army was cut into small pieces by the Tang army, the situation could no longer be restored. One of the Tubo soldiers took the lead on the battlefield, and suddenly yelled a few words shrilly, then turned around and ran away. When fighting, he could barely hold on, but when he ran away, he was brave.

Unbelievable, he actually risked his life, waving weapons randomly, fighting his way out of the encirclement, and finally ran away.

Gu Qing was overjoyed, he could already see the victory of this war waving to him from afar.

Sure enough, with the first one taking the lead in escaping, the rest of the Tubo soldiers' fighting spirit instantly collapsed, and they also turned around and ran back.

Faced with the overwhelming defeat, the Tubo generals were so frightened that they did not hesitate to expose themselves. They drew their swords and slashed the fleeing sergeants crazily. Facing the generals of Paoze, the generals struck directly at the vital points with their swords and chopped down a large number of soldiers.

After the ordinary sergeants, the Tubo people still fled to the rear like a tide. The generals could not kill them all, and they killed more and more.

Finally, the Tubo generals could not hold back their huge fear. With a strong survival instinct, the first Tubo general began to escape to the rear with the ordinary soldiers, followed by the second, and the third...

Gu Qing watched the sudden change in the battlefield situation from a distance and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. However, after looking at the approximate number of people who fled the Tibetan army, he became worried again.

In a fierce battle, Tubo's 20,000-strong army had been killed to pieces. Except for the seriously injured enemy soldiers lying on the ground, which could be ignored, there were about 6,000 people who escaped. After a fierce battle, the Tubo army

Most of it was lost.

However, for Gu Qing, there were still too many people fleeing, and he was worried that the only Qian Youjun, Han Jie and other personal guards could not resist them.

When people are running for their lives, they can often burst out with more hysterical bravery than usual. The fight is for the so-called generals and kings, but survival is really for themselves. No matter who stops them when they are running for their lives, they will feel like they are being killed.

Like a mad dog being chased by people, they will bite to pieces any person or thing that hinders their escape when they run for their lives in a panic.

Gu Qing's eyelids were twitching, and he suddenly mounted his horse desperately and rushed down the sand dune alone, whipping the horse hard while shouting eagerly at Chang Zhong.

"The two troops on the left and right rode around the defeated army from the flanks, pressed up, pressed up! Stop them in front of the defeated army!"

However, in the chaos of the army, people were shouting and neighing. Gu Qing's voice could not spread so far. After shouting for a long time, the left and right armies were still chasing closely behind the defeated Tubo army. At this time, one side was running for his life, while the other was chasing.

It was already in chaos. The sergeants under the generals of the Tang army could not find any structure in the chaotic army. Even if they carried out Gu Qing's orders, no one would listen.

…………

Ten miles to the east and back, looking at the defeated Tibetan army coming like a tidal wave of darkness from the distance, Han Jie took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the halberd in his hand.

"Array up! Bows and arrows go forward, halberds press behind!" Han Jie shouted.

The defeated army was outside the range of bows and arrows. The right army and a hundred personal guards had their arrows unstrung and motionless. Everyone's expression was as calm as water, quietly watching the retreat of the Tibetan army.

Han Jie held the halberd and kept adjusting his breathing. His mind was clear and he allowed his breathing rhythm to blend with the war horse.

A brown war horse quietly stepped forward and stood side by side with Han Jie.

Han Jie turned around and saw that it was his personal guard Wang Gui.

Wang Gui was originally in the second row of the queue, but for some reason he left the queue and came to the first row.

Han Jie frowned and said coldly: "Wang Gui, don't you understand the rules of the array? Go back to your place."

Wang Gui smiled and said: "I exchanged positions with my brother just now. I want to be the first one."

Han Jie sneered: "Are you showing your bravery? Ha, I can't tell you are such a hero. I was mistaken."

The tone was a bit explosive. Ever since he knew that Wang Gui was the spy lurking around the Marquis, Han Jie had never had a good look towards Wang Gui.

Wang Gui smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "General Han, I know you look down on me, but after all I am a left-back athlete. There are some things I cannot choose, but there are others I can choose."

Han Jie's expression softened a little and he said calmly: "Do you know what the first row means?"

"I know, die faster." Wang Gui grinned, smiling very honestly.

Han Jie was silent for a moment and said: "You... take care of yourself."

Wang Gui snorted. Seeing the defeated Tubo army in the distance getting closer and closer, Wang Gui still said calmly: "General Han, if I die in battle, please tell the Marquis that I, Wang Gui, am not a villain and have never done anything like this."

I have never done anything wrong to him. I knelt for power, but I only knelt on one knee, and the other knee is still standing."

Han Jie took a deep breath: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. After this battle, I will have a drink with you."

Wang Gui smiled: "I hope we can all survive. By the way, I have one more thing to tell Mr. Hou. The woman in Fuzhi Inn is really seductive. Mr. Hou, please don't let her go. She will definitely fall asleep."

It’s very comfortable, Lord Marquis is blessed.”

The Tibetan army was getting closer and closer. The halberd in Wang Gui's hand was flat and trembling slightly.

Han Jie took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Get ready with bows and arrows!"

More than a thousand bows and arrows pointed toward the sky.

As the defeated Tibetan army got closer and closer, the yellow sand on the ground seemed to be trembling slightly, and the rumbling sound was like thunder in the sky, ruthlessly sweeping towards the right army and the guards.
