There were Sun Zhenglu in ancient times,

Now I have married my daughter, but I have no king.

I'll ask Qinshu for the rest of my life,

How can the flag cover three points up?

——————Li Shangyin's "Mancheng Five Chapters": Li Shangyin was once a disciple of the leader of the Niu Party, Linghu Chu, and received his family's kindness, but also admired Li Deyu's achievements. After Xuanzong ascended the throne, the Niu Party gained power, and Li Shangyin was excluded because of the person who "carried about his family's kindness". He recited this poem and expressed his inner resentment and dissatisfaction with his admiration for Sun Quan.

Because the Military Academy was in Sanquan Town, Li Sheng immediately ordered all the soldiers of the camp to have a meal and also get cloth and money and reward them. "Miangu City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the city is strong and the food is sufficient, so there is no need to worry. Now we take the troops of Qilizhou Prefecture, build Fuliang from Jialing River, cross the river to Jinggu City, cut off the enemy's rear, and then fight!"

The next day, before the sky was bright, hundreds of Lizhou soldiers who were temporarily recruited took on errands. They gathered all the ships transporting grain around Sanquan Town, hooked up ropes and chains, and then laid them with wooden boards, spanning the turbid and yellow Jialing River, Shence, Changwu, and Fanyang troops successively crossed one after another. There was Cai Fonu in front of Gaoyue and Wei Tuotian behind. Looking at the morning star in the sky, they also mustered up the courage and leaned on the saddle and stepped on the shaking floating beam.

After walking for a while, there was a hill in front of me, and about the opposite side was the mouth of the Bailong River. Gao Yue could already hear the noise of "enemy people" - they were in the valley on the other side of the hill, about to attack Miangu City, the capital of Lizhou.

The Shence warriors holding the flag stern stepped over the vast grass and began to climb the nameless hill. Behind him, rows of soldiers carrying crossbows on their shoulders chased the flag sterns and climbed up like ants. Following them were soldiers holding long sterns. Most of the Shence camps were elite crossbowmen and infantrymen, while Shuofang and Fan Yang played the role of cavalry on both wings. The entire team moved quickly and quietly, and they were worthy of being the leader of the Tang army's central and border troops.

"Let's follow too." Gao Yue was unwilling to give up this opportunity to watch the battle with his own eyes. Last time in the battle at Qingshiling, Jingyuan, he squatted on the city wall. The distance was too far away and could not see the halal seal, but it was always a pity.

When he rode his horse to the top of the hill, several teams of Fan Yang cavalry had already jumped out of all directions of the array, and in a lightning-fast manner, they unfolded their broad formations and began to "search the mountains": expelling and killing the enemy's vanguards arranged in the hills.

At this moment, Gao Yue saw that in the grass two hundred feet away, there were indeed people running. Then there were more and more people, such as quails or foxes that were shocked by hunting dogs in the hunting circle, all of which were the secret shops of Xifan or Qianghu. "Swoosh" sound. Gao Yue saw Fan Yang's light cavalry famous for Suoshan, hooked the strings and pulled the bow, and instantly a feather arrow drew a beautiful arc, and in the middle of the back of the first enemy vanguard who ran up. The man leaned back his neck and fell down immediately. His figure rolled and disappeared under the cover of the swaying grass.

Most of these Fanyang cavalry are northerners and are too familiar with hunting. They hold their own war horses, which are fast and slow, and can always run to the right position. They pull the bow with their right hand and shoot arrows from the left, one after another, killing all the Qianghu Ancient Shops running around.

"Prince of Hechuan." When Gao Yue rode a horse and came to Li Sheng and other generals, Li Sheng had already issued an order to advance the entire army to defeat the enemy. Like Duan Xiushi, he reached out to stop Gao Yue from moving forward. "Cai Fonu, you protect Gao Shiyu here to watch the battle. You cannot act rashly, otherwise you will only ask."

"Xu hu..." Gao Yue tied the reins and saw a corpse under the horse's hooves, with an arrow buried deep on his back. It was the enemy's secret shop that he had just seen who was shot and killed by Fan Yang's cavalry.

At this moment, his position was like a "wiss tooth" that was wronged from this hill. It was a very steep high slope, extending straight to the surging Bailong River. The river clouds were gloomy and hovering above his head. The plain area in the river valley was densely filled with the so-called Qiang and Hu who went to attack Miangu. The team stretched for several miles, mixed with countless cattle and sheep. Their command position was on the deserted high embankment along the Bailong River, which was clear from here.

"I have seen the real Xifan army in Jingyuan. Their weapons and equipment are even better than the Shence Army, and their fighting will is extremely fierce. These are probably all barbarian tribes incited by Xifan."

The loud shouts rushed up - the tens of thousands of Qianghu saw a large number of orderly Tang troops suddenly appeared on the flank mountain hills, just like gods coming, and they couldn't help panic. Soon countless Qianghu began to turn, like large clouds, swarming towards the mountain hills occupied by the camp.

"I can't get it!" Gao Yue shook his head and looked right. On the front of the half-mile mountain mound, there were already Shen Ce soldiers who were full of crossbows waiting to be fired, and there were three rows of horizontal lines. However, Gao Yue still noticed the difference between Shen Ce crossbowmen. Some of them were carrying iron rods on their backs, while others were carrying horizontal swords on their backs. Could it be that they still had to fight hand in hand?

"The blade is in front and the axe is in the back. You can only break the enemy. Everyone thinks about it." After Li Sheng finished shouting, he waved his arm and said, "Send a crossbow!"

With this order, Gao Yue saw the Shence crossbowmen pulling the crossbow machine, turning the string teeth, and the cross arms in front of the crossbow rose up, and the rebounding bow string made a thunderous sound.

"Start a crossbow!" At this time, the second row of crossbowmen fired volleys.

"Start a crossbow!" The third row then stepped forward and fired a volley.

Under such saturated crossbow arrows, amid the terrifying cry of the sky and the earth, the Qiang and Hu teams that rushed up the hillside fell down countless times, and many corpses rolled down the hillside, and the team ran in a panic.

"The crossbowmen are in the team, and the jumping team is in the team!" Li Sheng waved the red flag.

"Ahhhh!" The Shen Ce crossbowmen put the crossbows on the ground, shouted and pulled out the iron rod, pulled out the horizontal sword, held it tightly in their hands, and rushed down with the jumping team holding shields and long swords. The swords shone brightly and blood was sprinkled: When Gao Yue was in the Jingyuan Yingtian, he saw that the soldiers in the camp were cutting wheat. The Qiang and Hu people who originally wanted to take advantage of the fire to Lizhou to fight the autumn wind, some covered their necks, some whirled their bodies, and some raised their hands high and were chopped and killed. The bodies were lying down one by one, and soon covered the slope. The others were shocked and dispersed in the direction of the Bailong River.

"It turns out that the crossbowmen of the Tang army was not as speculated by the Song people. The shield platoon was in front of the horse, and the crossbow pistol was stationed behind, and they could only defend long-range shooting. The tactics of the Tang army should be that the crossbowmen had the characteristics of hand-to-hand combat soldiers. Saturated volleys - drawing swords and assault or counter-charge - clearing the passage for the long wings behind - and also cooperating with the two wings of cavalry to detour." Gao Yue was watching the battle, thinking quickly in his mind. At this time, the sound of horns was indeed loud, and the subsequent soldiers of the Shence Army were erecting rows of long wings of white wax poles and rushed down from the mountain hills. Then the two wings were smoke and dust. Fan Yang and Shuofang's cavalry held the necks of the mounts and waved their swords, and also joined the ranks of the general assault...

At noon, tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu barbarians were defeated, and their central nuclear position, namely Baibayuan on the Bailong River, was also captured. Now Gao Yue stood on it, with killing Qiang and Hu corpses on all sides, which were incomplete and fishy.
