On the road from Lanzhou to Liangzhou, a team of light soldiers were marching rapidly in the Liangzhou network. There were more than 7,000 soldiers, and the weapons they carried were not heavy, and they were mainly crossbows. They rushed to Liangzhou to fight against the Tubo people.

"Brig Commander Gao Kan, will my brother-in-law attack this time?" asked a young general.

And the brigade commander immediately replied: "Our main responsibility is to lure the enemy, not attack!"

This brigade commander is Gao Kan. He is now the brigade commander of the Independent Mixed Brigade of the Western Army. His deputy, Jing Wen's cheap brother-in-law Dugu Mou. Gao Kan was promoted to the full-range regiment level by Jing Wen, and later according to the combat plan, he wanted to form a mixed brigade to lure the enemy. The mixed brigade consists of three regiments, about 7,000 people. Jing Wen asked Gao Kan to take the role of the brigade for the time being. Of course, Jing Wen did not promote him from the level, but just asked him to serve as the temporary commander. This is like the reason why several regiments cooperated and then chose a regiment commander as the commander. Jing Wen also gave him a deputy, that is his cheap brother-in-law Dugu Mou. This time, seducing the enemy is a merit, and he will never miss it when rewarding merits. Therefore, Jing Wen gave this opportunity to Gao Kan and Dugu Mou, so that they could get the first merit.

Dugu Mou was a little dissatisfied when he heard that it was luring the enemy, because it was not himself, so how much credit could it be. These ancient soldiers still did not get rid of the habit of calculating credit based on human heads, so they still believed that killing the enemy was the best method. However, now it is not calculated based on the number of people killed by individual enemies, but based on the total number of enemies killed, and then distributed to each unit that made merit according to the merit, and then distributed to each person again to calculate the credit. Therefore, although they may not be able to kill the enemy directly, it is also a considerable contribution to lure the enemy over. At that time, you will be able to obtain a lot of heads.

"Go away quickly and try to kill me to Liangzhou City tomorrow. The Tubo people are probably waiting to ambush us!" Gao Kan shouted.

These soldiers were lightly equipped, so the marching speed was very fast. The journey of two days was almost the same in one day, and the Tubo people should be ambushing them in front of them. Their responsibility was to lure the enemy, not to annihilate them. And they were only more than 7,000 people, and facing 50,000 elite Tubos, they were definitely not opponents at all.

"Brig Commander, according to the reconnaissance forces' rewards, there is a canyon ahead. It is probably a good place for Tubo people to set up ambush!" said a scout.

Gao Kan looked at the canyon ahead and immediately said, "It seems that they are mostly going to ambush us there. Of course we have to go to the 'self-stop'. He sent me the order, and put up all the shields for me, and take some leisure. Also, be careful if they will throw huge rocks and block the road!"

Gao Kan was also prepared because the canyon road was narrow. If someone blocked the road, it would be impossible to lure the enemy and be wiped out. Therefore, you must pay attention to whether they would throw huge rocks to block the road. If the enemy can throw huge rocks to block the road, it would be better not to go.

The scout immediately continued to contact the reconnaissance force in front, and then returned and said, "Brig Commander, we have seen the terrain there. There are no huge rocks in front of us to block the road. Because the canyon on both sides are narrow, it is impossible to put down the blocking rocks, and we can only stand people."

After hearing what the scout said, Gao Kan knew that although the Tubo people were ambushing, most of them were not ambushing in the canyon. Because the two sides of the canyon were too steep and there were only a few archers. The others were outside the canyon. When they entered, they would meet in a narrow road. However, all they had to do was to deal with the enemy and lure the enemy out.

"The whole army raised the shield, be careful of the enemy's bows and arrows, and then slowly go in with me!" Gao Kan said.

In this way, everyone raised their shields and looked at them at any time to prevent the enemy's bows and arrows from killing them.

On the other side, the Tubo people were also watching these people approaching.

"Zanpu, they are approaching, so we are waiting for them to come in. As soon as they come in, we can take the opportunity to annihilate them and slap the Tang Dynasty people hard!" Qin Ling said.

Songtsen Gampo looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and said, "It seems something is wrong. They seem to be less than 10,000 people! I remember that the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition Army had more than 20,000 people, why are they less than 10,000 people?"

"Zanpu, it's not surprising that the army cannot send all people at once. They may want to use less than 10,000 people to explore the way, and then the 20,000 troops behind are behind!" Qin Ling said.

"What you said makes sense. Less than 10,000 people are the pioneers." Songtsen Gampo said.

After Gao Kan's army gradually entered the canyon, the shield was raised very high, obviously ready to fight against the enemy's bow and arrow at any time. Songtsen Gampo was speechless when he saw this.

"Zanpu, have they discovered our plan?" Qinling asked.

Songtsen Gampo said: "Not necessarily! They may be just out of alertness for many battles. Since they are pioneers, they are often very elite troops. The elite troops are very alert, so they will be wary of whether there are ambushes after entering the canyon."

"Damn it, why are the people of the Tang Dynasty so cunning?" Qin Ling said angrily.

Songtsen Gampo said, "If you are not cunning, they have died long ago. The Tang Dynasty had just pacified the world for not many years. There are still many veterans in the army, so it is normal to be alert."

When one-third of Gao Kan's troops entered the canyon, Gao Kan did not intend to continue moving forward. Because if he continued to move forward, then maybe once someone threw down something, the loss would be great. The terrain in the canyon was not good, and all the troops could not be launched. At that time, the people's condescending attack would cause a lot of losses. Moreover, once the battle in the canyon started, it would be a war of attrition. The enemy had 50,000 elite troops and only 7,000 of them, which would not consume the enemy no matter how much they looked at. Therefore, the troops should not enter too much.

"Arrow!" Gao Kan shouted.

"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh swosh..." Gao Kan's troops shot arrows on the cliff, and the dense rain of arrows was shot onto the canyon.
