"Send a signal to inform Mao Anfu that we have arrived at the battlefield."

Shan Qiu issued the order.

Signal fireworks soar into the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth.

"The spearmen are in front, forming a square formation, the sword and shield soldiers are behind, and the archers..."

Shan Qiu issued orders one by one and made final preparations before the war.

Li Xun's face was tense, and he was studying Shanqiu's battle command strategy. In the previous battle of Yingzhou, Li Xun was just a follower, but now, he has truly become the core and is on the front line of the war.

Jiang Daxiong was holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword that weighed more than 80 kilograms. He was beside Li Xun and stared ahead. This was his first time on the battlefield. There was no nervousness or fear on his face, but there was some faint excitement.

A quarter of an hour later, Mao Anfu led more than 2,000 cavalry to the high ground, but he did not stop to join Shanqiu, but passed them and disappeared into the night.

Shan Qiu immediately ordered someone to convey the order of Governor Ma Wu to Mao Anfu. If Tubo divided its troops and went to pursue the people in the rear, there was no need to worry about it.

Li Xun asked: "Brother Mao is preparing to hide in the dark and attack Tibet from the side?"

Shan Qiu nodded and said: "You are right. Mao Anfu has been fighting for nearly an hour. The men and horses are very tired. We can take some rest for a while and then fight again."

It turns out that this is the case, otherwise it would be very advantageous to lead the cavalry charge from this commanding position.

Li Xun sighed: "In less than an hour, most of the five thousand cavalry were lost, and thousands of lives were lost!"

Shan Qiu shook his head: "As serious as you said, Mao Anfu's loss should not be big."

"How can I see it?"

Li Xun asked in confusion, there were only two thousand people left around Mao Anfu. If the others had not died in the battle, where had they gone?

"When Mao Anfu led the army to retreat, the army formation was neat and there was no panic. From this, it can be seen that Tubo did not have much upper hand. Mao Anfu could still advance and retreat in a controlled manner and evacuate safely. Now it is

In the dark night, the cavalry led by Mao Anfu was not good at night fighting. During the fierce battle with the Tibetans, many people should have lost their way, so the outcome of the battle cannot be judged simply based on the number of people."

Shanqiu explained to Li Xun very patiently. He knew that Li Xun was leading an army alone for the first time and lacked experience in battle. Of course, this was also because Li Xun's character was recognized by Shanqiu. If not, and the war was approaching, Shanqiu would

Qiu will not waste so many words with him.

Li Xun glanced at Shan Qiu gratefully. After his explanation, his knowledge of war was greatly enhanced.

Sure enough, from time to time, scattered cavalrymen gathered towards Shanqiu. There were nearly two thousand people, and Mao Anfu's deputy general Jiang You was also among them. Shanqiu asked Jiang You to lead the people to a few miles behind to rest for a while, and then resumed.

war.

On the Tubo side, after gathering their troops, they also headed towards Shanqiu.

The Tibetan general Zade's face was ashen. He led 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to raid. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by the opponent. After a fierce battle, he had an absolute advantage in numbers and was almost defeated.

, if it weren’t for the fact that there were five thousand Night Wolves in our army, who were good at night fighting and could stabilize their formation at critical moments, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous. Even so, the casualties in one battle were more than three thousand, several times that of the opponent.

"General, the Jin army has set up a formation on a high ground three miles away. There are about 4,000 people."

Report from the exploration horse.

"General, this Jin army is very powerful. If we attack by force, our losses will probably be considerable."

Lieutenant General Ak'a came close to Zaid and whispered: "It's better to stand still and wait until dawn to make plans."

Another deputy general, Da'ang, also said loudly: "No, if we wait until dawn, the general and the others will most likely be exposed, and their efforts will be ruined. Who will be responsible for this?"

Zaide glared at him fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "My mission is only to attract the Jin army from Zhike County to come for support. It is not my turn to worry about other things."

"Ake'a, you lead five thousand cavalry and take a detour to pursue the people of the Jin Dynasty."

"The last general takes orders."

Akea was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order. This was a great opportunity to make a fortune.

"Da'ang, lead your infantry to attack me and capture the Jin army's high ground as soon as possible."

Daang was stunned for a moment and said: "General, why don't you let the cavalry charge in front, and then the infantry will cover up and kill you? Wouldn't it be easier?"

Zaide said coldly: "You don't need to say anything about what I will do, general. Go quickly and prepare for the attack. If the Jin Army's high ground cannot be captured within an hour, don't blame me for not remembering old friendship."

Daang's face was ashen, he looked at Zad, reluctantly complied with the general's order, and went to gather the troops and horses of his headquarters.

Looking at Daang's back, Zaid's eyes were full of murderous intent. This man was promoted by himself. Without him, how could he have the status he has today? Judging from his words and deeds just now, it was obvious that he had secretly taken refuge in Gewabidde.

, how can such a person who is unjust and unjust in seeing profit stay by his side to cause trouble?

Da'ang led more than 8,000 infantrymen in neat formation and began to advance towards the Jin army's high ground.

"Strange, the other side didn't use cavalry to clear the way, but just sent infantry?"

Li Xun said in surprise, when the two armies fight, unless there is no cavalry, if there is cavalry, the cavalry usually charges first and takes the lead, intending to break up the opponent's army, and then the infantry charges to cover it up. But now, they just watch

The infantrymen who arrived in Tubo came this way, but no cavalry was seen.

Shan Qiu said from the side: "There is no need to worry so much, we only need to act according to the orders of the Grand Governor and stick to this place."

Shan Qiu is good at defending, Mao Anfu is good at attacking.

Da'ang was not a loser. If he charged with such a dense team, the losses would be very heavy. Therefore, when he arrived one mile away from the Jin army's high ground and was about to enter the effective shooting range of the opponent's archers, Da'ang immediately gave the order and put the gun in his hand.

The eight thousand infantrymen were divided into four teams of two thousand men each, spread out, and charged towards the high ground from four directions.

The battle on Li Xun's side has already begun. Although they occupy the high ground and have certain geographical advantages, the temporary battle did not bring anything to stop the enemy. After paying the price of thousands of people, Daang and his men finally rushed forward.

When they reached the high ground, the two sides met at hand-to-hand combat, and a fierce fight broke out.

The two sides fought for more than an hour. Mao Anfu and Jiang You led the cavalry to fight back again. The Tibetan infantry in both directions were defeated. Later, Zade also led four thousand cavalry to support and helped Daang stabilize the situation.
