The Tubo people grew up in a bitter and cold place and had never lacked courage. When they saw that the retreat had been lost, they were inexplicably sad and angry. When they saw that their generals had already launched a desperate charge, they couldn't help but feel a sense of hatred for the enemy. They howled and turned their horses around and followed Sisu Nalu, swept over the Tang army cavalry formation like an angry wave. Although the formation was chaotic, the momentum had expanded to the extreme, and they were full of murderous intentions.

"Retreat! Prepare the crossbow!"

Facing the Tubo cavalry that was still fighting with trapped beasts, Wang Bing did not dare to be careless at all. He did not want to fight with these mad dogs to the end. Seeing the Tubo army rushing forward, he ordered the entire army to retreat without hesitation, and all took off the crossbow hanging on the saddle.

"Shoot the arrow!"

The Tang army was originally stationed in the horse, but at this time the speed of reversing the horse's head was naturally not fast. Before the Tang army could release the horses quickly, the Tubo cavalry rushed wildly to a distance of only 40 steps from the Tang army's rear guard. The distance was still dwindling sharply. When they were about to be caught by the Tubo cavalry, Wang Bing shouted violently. The soldiers of the Tang army who had already prepared turned around and aimed at the crossbow in their hands at the speeding Tubo pursuers. They were unceremonious and attacked them with arrows.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

This Anxi Iron Cavalry is Wang Bing's direct troops. The crossbows used are not Tang army-style short crossbows, but Hexi's serial crossbows. Each crossbow machine has as many as ten arrows. At the same time, it was like a storm. It was instantly shot by the Tubo cavalry that was caught off guard. Even Sisu Nalu, the main general who rushed in the front, could not escape the disaster. He was shot into a hedgehog by arrows. He could not even make a sound, and he died completely.

"Kill all the thieves!"

Wang Bing was not a very rude person. Seeing that the Tubo pursuers behind him were in chaos, he was not willing to miss the opportunity to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. Then he shouted, led his troops to make a sharp turn on the battlefield, and rushed towards the Tubo chaotic army at high speed. Poor Tubo cavalry had not yet recovered from the sudden rain of arrows. When the Tang army rushed like this, they could not have any resistance. They were instantly washed away. The morale that was equally aggrieved by the enemy was gone in an instant. With no casualties, the rest of the people abandoned their weapons, raised their hands, and obediently became prisoners. A decisive battle of cavalry came to an end, and the Tang army won all the victory!

The war was extremely smooth, and the total cost of more than 30 casualties, and wiped out more than 1,500 Tubo cavalry that went to war. It was no exaggeration to say that it was extremely brilliant. However, Wang Bing was not very proud, and even had no smile on his face. It was only because after interrogating the prisoners of war, Wang Bing had confirmed several things that had been premonition before. First, the Anxi Army's plan to seize Wuhai City was long under the Tubo Army's plan, and for this reason, although the troops were tight everywhere,

Five thousand troops were retained in the Wuhai City. In addition to the annihilated cavalry, there are also 3500 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 abilities, is not bad. What made Wang Bing even more worried was that the main force of the Anxi Army might have fallen into the trap carefully designed by the Tubo Grand Prince. It is hard to say whether it can resist it.

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

Wang Bing really wanted to bring back the army to aid the main force in his side, but rationally told him clearly that this would not be of any use except for the sacrificing death in vain, just because Gar Qinling was not a mediocre person. Since he dared to let him come to capture Wuhai City, he would inevitably be ambushed by his troops to return to aid. If Wang Bingzhen dared to lead his troops to advance to the future, he would be subject to a crime. This road would obviously not work, but he would still capture Wuhai City.

There is a chance of life at the forefront, but the soldiers are not yet able to recover, and it is not the time to launch a siege. Without any hesitation, Wang Bing could only force himself to hold back his anxiety and ordered the entire army to rest on the spot. He only sent a portion of the officers and soldiers to escort more than 900 captured Tubo prisoners of war to cut wood as ladders. The Tubo army in the city also remained silent in a tacit understanding and did not send troops to harass the Tang army's rest. The war in Wuhai City has come to an end for the time being...

At four o'clock in the morning, it was almost noon, but the Tang army camp stationed on the edge of the Qaidam Basin was still quiet, without much movement, and it didn't seem like it was about to rise up at all. It seemed like the crazy journey a few days ago was just an illusion. As soon as this happened, the Tubo army lurking in Tianjun Mountain was a little confused. Not only the lower army, but even Gar Qinling also thought about it. When he was suspicious, he personally led his confidant generals to a hidden high place and looked at the Tang army camp in the distance.

"Guan Gong, what do you think?"

Gar Qinling looked at the Tang army camp silently, and did not speak for a long time, but his brows frowned unconsciously. After a while, he asked a question without looking back.

"Father, is there any new news in the direction of Shanzhou these days?"

Gar? Yingong did not directly answer his father's question, but raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Well, not yet."

When he heard his son's questioning something strange, Gar Qinling was stunned at first, then nodded as if he had some insight, but did not express his suspicion in his heart, but just said quietly.

"It's right not to have it. Father, if the child is well prepared, I'm afraid that Li Xian's son is coming here quickly, and there is not much time left for our army."

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

"Hiss..., what does the Major General mean?"

"Don't let it go?"

"How is this possible?"

...

Gar's judgment on catching the bow was too amazing. The Tubo generals who were originally silently accompanied him all took a breath. Before Gar's Qinling could speak, they all exclaimed, and for a moment the sounds were mixed.

"Yeah!" Gar Qinling raised his hand with a hint of displeasure, whispered lightly, stopped the generals' commotion, looked at the eldest son with strange eyes, pursed his lower lip, and spoke with a slight suspicion: "How can you see it?"

"Father understands, our army is good at raising eagles and thinks it is used for communication, so Li Xian's son is also good at this. There must be this thing between the two troops and horses of the other side for communication. No matter how strict our army is, the news will be difficult to cut off. I think my father should know this, so the child will not say much. Well, if you ask what the child has to rely on, it will start with the Tang army's journey yesterday. Father, you see, the Tang thieves rushed all the way a few days ago, but although they were very early yesterday, they only walked less than 60 miles before they settling down the camp again and left our army

The ambush circle is fifteen miles away. Even if our army quickly kills the horse, it will take more than half an hour to go, which is enough for the Tang thieves to set up a formation calmly. From this, it can be seen that the Tang thieves obviously have a guard against the ambush in our army. When we think about the calmness of the Shanzhou direction, we can see that Li Xian's son was probably guessing the intention of our army. The reason why there is no news is that the scattered sent out by our troops has been wiped out by the Tang thieves. According to the Tang thieves' marching process, our army has only one day to spare, so let my father decide what to do."

Gar? He ignored the strange expressions of the generals, bowed respectfully to his father, and slowly explained his inference in detail.

“Um…”

Gar Qinling did not rush to make a decision, but chewed his son's inference carefully, his brows tightly locked into the character "chuan". After a long time, he asked inquiring and said, "In your opinion, what should this matter be like?"

"When I go back to my father, at this subtle moment, the child thought that our army had no other choice. One was to break out of Tianjun Mountain and first wipe out the enemy coming to Anxi, and then return to the army to fight to the death with Li Xian'er. The second was to leave the vacant soldiers to deal with this place. The entire army immediately turned around, defeat Li Xian'er first, and then turn back to deal with the Tang gangs in Anxi. There was no other way to imagine. If it was delayed, it might be trapped by the enemy from both sides."

Speaking of decisive things, Gar's face immediately became solemn, his slightly tender face was full of solemnity that was inconsistent with his age, and he frowned slightly to give two choices.

"Well, what my son said is very good. I have decided. Sotoso, you lead 20,000 troops to ambush here. If the Anxi Tang thieves do not move, you just need to guard Tianjun Mountain. If the Anxi Tang thieves come to attack, you only have to block the enemy and not let them pass here. The other troops immediately follow the original minister and turn to the southeast to destroy Li Xian!"

Gar Qinling is a brave man. Once he makes a decision, he will act very quickly. Before the generals can react, he has already connected two orders.

"promise!"

Gar Qinling was extremely prestige in the army. Since he had issued an order, the generals would not have any objections. They all bowed and agreed. However, before the generals turned around and left, a fierce noise suddenly sounded behind the mountain, and immediately made all the generals stunned on the spot. No one knew what was going on.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he heard the noise of the drums and the shouts of killing were endless, Gar Qinling's face immediately changed, and he shouted with a calm face, and his voice was filled with panic and uneasiness.

"Report, the great prime minister, the Tang thief suddenly came and was fighting fiercely with the rear army. Please make clear!"

After Gar Qinling said this, his personal guards rushed down the mountain and went to the back mountain to find out what happened. After a while, a messenger hurriedly ran up the hill, stumbled to Gar Qinling, and pointed at the ground on one knee, and reported loudly.

"What?"

When he heard the Tang army suddenly arrived, Gar Qinling's face immediately became uncomfortable...
