It is still twenty or thirty miles away from the Shankou Ling in the south of Gongzang.

The men led by Wang Hou, Tong Guan and Yang Keshi were already camping on a gentle slope at this time.

It was said that it was a camp, but in fact it was just a place where a high place was found to rest. Thousands of people flocked together, but no trenches were set up, and no trenches were dug. They just sprinkled many caltrops under the hillside. Most of the people had already dismounted, either serving war horses, riding horses, or watching over.

The 5,000 cavalry led by Wang Hou rushed forward for several days and was already a little tired. When they approached Gongzangling today, the cavalry that opened the way in front encountered Doroba's hard stroking cavalry. After knowing that Doroba's soldiers arrived, Wang Hou and Tong Guan immediately ordered their troops to stop advancing, and then chose this highland called Wild Horse Slope to camp and rest.

In the camp where there were chaos, some people had served the horses and started boiling water and cooking. The smoke rose one by one, and the aroma of the broth also floated around the wild horse slope.

The Knights in front of the Imperial Front were all masters with their followers. Although they had to serve their beloved horses, after they finished, they could take out salted yak jerky around the broth they had already cooked and start eating dinner. The knights were not as physically strong as the male men of the Fangnu, nor were they as strong as the latter. It would be too heavy to carry the four-foot-five-six-foot-to-six war horses, so the knights were not as strong as the Fangnu. However, they did not show much fatigue at this time. Many people were even more excited and said with a gaze of browsing and killing Alingjie and Amon.

This is the first battle of the knights in front of the palace! The victory in the first battle is indeed exciting.

Yang Keshi and his brother Yang Kebi are also among the knights. For the group of Yuqian Knights, they are considered outsiders, but they can also get along with them. After all, more than 300 people in the group of knights are from the Western Army!

The two brothers of the Yang family leaned on the unloaded saddle and looked at the "master cavalry" with a smile. Someone brought them fresh soup with dough and beef and mutton. The two took it over and blew it with their mouths while drinking.

Wang Hou and Tong Guan were not as leisurely as the Yang brothers. They were both tied up and patrolled around with their long swords around their waists. They kept urging the officers and soldiers of the Xining Army to walk the horses and feed them, and then release the squad.

It was getting dark soon, but Tubo people sneaked into their camp at night!

At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from afar. The soldiers guarding the patrol immediately cheered up and rode their horses to meet them. They saw several riders galloping from afar. The people on the horses were dressed in Tubo costumes. The first rider held a white flag on them, and the word "用" was written in Chinese characters.

It turned out that the military envoy sent by Doroba before the war sent military envoys to negotiate the terms was the rules in Hehuang. When fighting with Xixia, there were few military envoys.

Several Tubo people were soon taken to Wang Hou and Tong Guan. The one who spoke was a Tubo monk who could speak fluent Chinese. He was righteous and righteous: "My family observer, may I ask why General Wang came to invade the territory of our vassal family!"

"Observation" refers to the official position granted by Doroba in Xixia. The envoy of Doroba mentioned this official position to remind Wang Hou that Xixia was his backstage.

Wang Hou smiled and said, "Huangzhou is the former land of the Tang Dynasty, not owned by the vassal families, but the land of the common family of the Han vassals. Besides, your chief has also received official positions in our dynasty. How can you claim to be the observer of Xixia now? As for the fact that this official led his troops to not invade each other, it was because of Xisheluosa's betrayal of the court and attacking Zhao's envoy (that Zhao Huaide, who has now gone to Kaifeng Prefecture). If your chief can repent and attack the rebel ministers for the court, I should report to the emperor and give him a lot of rewards."

Tong Guan stood with Wang Hou, and then smiled warmly: "Go and tell the great leader of Doroba that as long as he is willing to play a sword with the rebel Xisheluo, our family can guarantee him to do the Huangzhou affairs, and reward tens of millions of pieces of silk and money!"

Of course, Wang Hou and Tong Guan are fooling people! The house slaves and knights who were not serious in the battle have killed Doroba's two sons. These are legitimate sons! What a fool! If you caress, you can't believe Doroba.

However, they were afraid that Doroba would be scared away, so they deliberately spoke softly, and did not take Amon out to meet Doroba's messenger.

When the envoy of Doropa heard that Tong Guan offered the conditions was actually very moved. It was clear that things in Huangzhou were empty, but tens of thousands of pieces of silk and tens of millions of dollars (just tens of thousands of dollars) were true. This money was bought in Kaifeng Prefecture, but it could be of great use in the Hehuang area.

But it was not the messenger who made the decision, but the great leader of Doropa.

Wang Hou said at this time: "If your leader thinks the conditions are not good, tomorrow morning, our two families will fight under this wild horse slope for a while!"

This is a battle! It is an appointment for a time and place, and everyone will do a battle. It is not very common in the Song and Xia war, but everything will happen here in Xifan. It is not surprising that wars are like appointments.

The envoy quickly informed Doroba and Qiaoaban of the Song army's recruitment conditions and the requirements for the engagement.

It is impossible to defect to the Song Dynasty. Like Xisheluosa, Doroba is a hard-core anti-Song faction and wants to fight with the Song Dynasty to the end.

So Doroba chose to fight!

...

When the morning light once again appeared in the east, 15,000 Tubo warriors followed Doroba and Qiaoacha to a hillside called Wild Donkey Po on the opposite side of Wild Horse Slope.

The remaining 5,000 people were left at Gongzangling Pass.

When the Tubo army arrived in a mighty manner, the Song army had already set up a defensive formation on the opposite wild horse slope. The spearmen were in front, the archers were behind, and the cavalry were at the end, standing on the hillside. Moreover, the number of people seemed not large, only about 5,000.

"That's just such a small person..."

After worrying that Doroba had only a night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were few soldiers in Song. He still knew the combat effectiveness of his own vassal army. If his opponent had 10,000 cavalrymen, there would be no need to fight this battle.

Now, 15,000 riders fight 5,000 riders, and a draw can always be played.

"Big leader, there seems to be something happening over the Song army!"

Qiao Ama suddenly started shouting loudly at this time. He was young and sharp-eyed. He had already seen Wang Hou, who was covered with armor, and a few of his personal entourages came out of his own formation.

Qiao Ama said again: "It seems that he has even taken someone!"

Leading someone? Doroba looked closely and saw someone who was tied to the butt of a general of Song army by a rope, stumbled and was very pitiful.

Just as he was thinking, another military envoy from the Song army shouted: "Please ask the leader of Doroba to talk to each other in front of the formation."

The conversation in front of the formation was to negotiate again. Doroba felt that the Song army leader might not be able to beat him, so he had to increase the bargaining chips for recruitment.

Although Doroba could not submit to the Song Dynasty, he and Qiao Abang, under the escort of a group of confidant soldiers, came down from the hillside of the Wild Donkey Ridge and arrived in front of the formation, more than a hundred steps away from the Song army's formation.

At this time, Wang Hou had already led his men to escort Doroba's youngest son A Meng and stood in front of his own formation.

Two Wang Hou's personal soldiers were escorting Amon who was tied up to the point of rice dumplings. One of them was still holding a piece of rag in his hand. The other could speak Tubo language. Seeing Doroba and others appear, he said to Amon: "Look, is your father coming? If so, just say hello."

Amon had seen his father for a long time, and at this time he started crying, "Dad! Dad, I am Amon! Dad! Save me quickly!"

Doroba's eyes were not as good as his son, but he could still hear the voice of his baby son, and his heart tightened immediately.

What's going on? How did Amon get the Song army to capture him? Wasn't he in Bajin City? Was Bajin City broken by Song army?

This terrible thought flashed through Doropa's mind and was soon denied by him. The 7,000 army! And it was also defending the city, how could it fall so quickly?

However, he still wanted to ask how Amon was caught, but there was no chance. Wang Hou waved his hand and the personal soldier holding the rag had already blocked Amon's mouth.

Then a public official named Bao shouted behind Wang Hou: "Grand leader of Doroba, your son Amon is in our hands. If you want him to survive, you should immediately surrender to the Song Dynasty!"

Doroba didn't know that he was only Amon, and he didn't know that he had met the abnormally powerful Song army. So when he heard the Song army's shouting, he just snorted and shouted loudly: "The Song people on the opposite side heard that if you dare to hurt my son, I, Doroba, swear to the Buddha that I will kill you without leaving any armor!"

Wang Hou could understand Tubo's words, but he laughed at that time. All he wanted was your words!

"Cut him!" Wang Hou gave orders to the two personal soldiers who were escorting Amon.

"Here!"

Both personal soldiers were quick-witted. One of them kicked Amon's calves twice, and Amon knelt down in a flash. The other one had already pulled out a straight knife, held the handle of the knife in both hands, and waved it behind Amon's ear with all his strength!

The head fell and the blood spurted out high!

Amon was beheaded on the spot... in front of his own father.

Seeing this scene, Doroba was completely stunned. Not only Doroba was stupid, but the Tubo warriors who followed him were all stunned by this scene.

What is the situation? He would chop people up if he had a disagreement? He also chopped Young Master Amon in front of the leader of Doropa! Is General Song on the opposite side crazy? Can't count? There are many people here!

"Son!" Doroba realized that his son was gone! These Song people were so bad that they actually killed their son, which was unforgivable!

"My sons!" Doroba was furious, "Kill all Song Gou and avenge Amon! Bounce for me! Bounce for me! Kill them all..."
