The waning moon is like a hook, and the forest is deep.
A Tianchi lies quietly among the mountains and valleys. Hundreds of Tuyuhun warriors are distributed on both sides of the Tianchi valley entrance. Some have fallen asleep, and some are still patrolling the dike.
In the dense forest, countless black figures suddenly jumped up, and daggers and crossbows instantly pounced on all the Tuyuhun soldiers at the mouth of the valley.
The Tuyuhun soldiers, who were already lax on their guard, were immediately caught off guard and were slaughtered almost instantly.
Less than ten people had time to pounce on them with swords, but they were completely suppressed in less than twenty breaths.
In the river valley, not much water flows out of Tianchi, slowly flowing to the Tuyuhun King's City more than 30 miles downstream.
Outside the Tuyuhun King's City, in the camp where Youwei and Youtunwei once stayed, it was quiet in the dead of night, and most of the Tuyuhun soldiers had fallen into a deep sleep.
There are thousands of people inside, and they will arrive in the river valley tomorrow to solve the hidden danger of Tianchi, but at this inadvertent gap, someone suddenly seized the opportunity.
Outside the Tianchi in the river valley, more soldiers in black appeared silently, holding long knives and looking coldly.
A tall man in black walked up from below, holding a long sword with a golden handle. He looked around and quickly, without saying much, he pointed the sword towards the center of the embankment.
The next moment, dozens of soldiers in black rushed to the embankment and started digging quickly.
The dike that was originally just a narrow gap, allowing the Tianchi water to slowly flow down, was soon dug into a huge hole.
The black-clothed soldiers above immediately retreated quickly toward the shore.
The next moment, the Tianchi in the river valley burst open, and the endless water immediately rushed down the mountain along the river.
A huge roar resounded between heaven and earth.
Fuqi City at the foot of the mountain was completely awakened by the loud noise almost instantly. Countless torches were quickly lit, and people were everywhere.
But alas, it's too late.
Standing on the heaven and earth embankment of the river valley, looking at the Tianchi where the river surface was rapidly lowering, the leader in black had a sneer on his lips.
After a moment, he stretched out his hand and waved hard, followed by hundreds of people quickly heading down the mountain.
In the dark forest, more and more people came back. By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, there were already over a thousand people.
These people walked in the mountains and forests, almost as if they were walking on flat ground, and they were astonishingly fast.
Some of them had already rushed directly to the place where the Tuyuhun cavalry placed their horses at the foot of the mountain.
It was quiet there because the soldiers guarding the horses had been killed in advance.
Just when these black-clothed soldiers came out of the forest and rushed towards the war horses in the open space on the east side of the river, in an instant, countless crossbow arrows flew directly from behind the war horses and shot hard at these black-clothed soldiers. past.
Almost instantly, hundreds of soldiers in black fell completely into a pool of blood.
The commander in black was shocked and angry, and immediately shouted: "Charge, charge over."
Tubo language, Tubo people.
Guangjun.
Although the leader of the Light Army was extremely frightened and angry at the sudden change, he had no fear of the sudden accident and directly commanded his soldiers to rush over.
They were the Guangjun, the most elite warriors of Tubo, so how could they be afraid of such a fight.
With a "buzz" sound, more crossbow arrows flew up again, and then fell hard like black clouds.
Countless of the Guang soldiers who rushed forward were immediately hit by arrows, but the armor on many of them blocked their vital points. Although arrows were hit in other parts of their bodies, they were not fatal.
More soldiers of the Light Army rushed straight forward. At this moment, countless screams suddenly sounded.
The next moment, the war horses that were originally tied together suddenly rushed towards these light soldiers with great irritability.
A soldier of the Light Army tried to intercept the horse, but was hit hard on the chest by the horse in an instant, and then was knocked away.
More and more soldiers were knocked directly into the air, hit the ground heavily, and then were trampled by war horses.
Only a dozen or so lucky people got on the horse and tried their best to control the horse.
With the war horses, the light army's combat power can be brought into full play.
But the moment they turned around and took a look, even the well-informed sergeant couldn't help but be stunned.
Countless long black spears were laid flat forward, more crossbows had been raised at the rear, and further back, there were more archers and war horses.
Tang army, Tang infantry, Tang cavalry.
When these Guang soldiers appeared silently in the upper reaches of the Buha River, more Tang soldiers also appeared here.
As if waiting for them, they appeared here in advance, set up a trap, and waited for them to step into the trap.
Now, without even waiting for these Light Army soldiers to react, countless crossbow arrows flew straight up like black mountains and hit heavily in the middle of the Light Army.
At the same time, countless heavy footsteps began to move forward, and the blade of light was cold, rushing towards these light soldiers.
Such sounds were heard not only from above, but also from the mountains and forests behind.
More Tang soldiers walked out of the mountains and forests and appeared in front of the Tubo people.
A quick count revealed that the number was more than twice that of the Tubo people.
The crossbows were as long as clouds and the spears were as long as forests. Even though the Tubo army was powerful, the Tang army did not give them the slightest chance of contact and ruthlessly launched a long-range massacre.
Endless crossbow arrows fell from time to time like black clouds. Even though many Tubo people survived the crossbow arrows and reached the Tang soldiers, the cruel blades pierced directly into their chests in an instant.
The Tibetans had little room to fight back.
Not only that, there were Tang troops appearing on both sides above, but at the rear, there was only the surging Buha River, and the only escape route for the Tubo people was below.
This is a carefully prepared trap, surrounded by three and missing one.
When the commander of the Guang Army finally couldn't bear the loss and began to command his soldiers to flee downstream, the loud sound of horse hooves sounded.
There was a trace of despair in the eyes of the leader of the Light Army.
…
Torches were lit in the mountains and forests, and hundreds of right guards were ruthlessly cleaning the battlefield.
Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and armor, rode across the battlefield and looked at the thousands of Guang soldiers on the ground. He turned sideways and said to Qiu Zhenmu: "These Guang soldiers definitely did not come from the south of Dafeichuan barefoot. , they must have been on horseback, bypassing all our scouts, and finally hid thousands of horses somewhere in Nanshan. When they found those horses, the right guard only had a thousand cavalry under his command, which was not enough."
When Li Xuan set out from Chang'an, the right guard transferred a thousand cavalry, and his Hangzhou guard selected 400 cavalry.
After fighting for such a long time, although not many people died, there were many who were injured and retreated. By the way, they also brought the war horses back.
Although a lot was captured in the middle battles, Liu Rengui did not leave much for Li Xuan.
And for some cavalry, just one war horse is not enough.
If these elite cavalrymen of the Guang Army can be used for their own purposes, Li Xuan's combat power can be doubled immediately.
Although the people in Youtunwei obey Li Xuan's command, they are not Li Xuan's people after all, and they may be taken away at any time.
"Your Majesty, something is not right." Qiu Zhenmu did not leave immediately, but pointed at the corpses of the Guangjun on the ground and said: "Although the combat power of these is indeed good, they are not much better than the right guard, at most It's just a draw with the Jinwu Guards and the Qianniu Guards, how can they be the legendary Tubo Shadow Army that will win every battle?"
Li Xuan paused slightly, her face immediately darkened, and her eyes fell on these Guang soldiers.
After a moment, Li Xuan finally nodded slowly and said, "You are right. I noticed something was wrong before. The coordination between these soldiers was very problematic. It was as if they were temporarily formed. The same.
I originally thought that they were used to marching alone for a long time and were not familiar with large army battles, but now that I think about it, they should be of the same race and should not be unfamiliar with joint battles, unless they are not really a light army? "
Li Xuan's brows furrowed tightly. He didn't understand why Lun Qinling sent people to Fuqi City to do such a big thing, but not the real elite of the Guang Army.
After all, what they have to do is not only break the dike and dam at the moment, but also launch a surprise attack from behind the right flank of the Tang Dynasty. These are the things they are best at doing.
"Check and find out the true identities of these fake light soldiers."
Li Xuan's face was terrifyingly cold. If Qiu Zhenmu hadn't been accompanying him this time, he would have really taken these Guang soldiers seriously.
If this is reported, Liu Rengui will believe it to be true, and then make adjustments, and at some point the real Guangjun will suddenly appear again.
At that time, it would be fine if there were no serious consequences. If something happened, all the responsibility would be Li Xuan's.
In a moment, a long sword with a golden handle was delivered to Li Xuan's hands.
Li Xuan frowned. The hilt of this long sword was made of pure gold and rare metals. Just one hilt was enough to exchange for hundreds of sharp long swords.
Li Xuan unsheathed his sword, and the cold blade immediately caught Li Xuan's eyes. The moonlight flowed over it, making it extremely smooth.
Looking at the sword, Li Xuan frowned tightly.
What are the Tubo people doing? They come here with this precious sword.
Li Xuan immediately looked at Su Baotong from the side and said seriously: "You should immediately lead a team of people to send this sword to Qugou, no, to the Chinese army, and hand it over to the commander-in-chief, and ask the commander-in-chief to find someone. Check the origin of this sword."
"Here!" Su Baotong didn't hesitate at all, and immediately selected a team of elites and ran towards the Chinese army camp.
"The prince is worried that Lun Qinling wants to use this sword to convey information." Qiu Zhenmu immediately guessed what Li Xuan was thinking.
Li Xuan took a breath, looked in the direction of Da Feichuan, and said softly: "As for Qin Ling, I don't feel like a veteran general who kills on the battlefield, but like a calculating person." Old fox, no one knows what conspiracy he is playing this time, so it is better to be cautious."
"The prince is right, Lun Qinling is indeed an old fox who is calculating people's hearts." Qiu Zhenmu said with a slightly wry smile: "Because he is the Prime Minister of Tubo, and the commander-in-chief in front is just his temporary identity."
"Like a commander." Li Xuan smiled, and then his smile faded, and then he looked at Fuqi City in the distance where the torrent was rushing down, and said softly: "Next, we should go to the foot of the mountain to have a good meeting. That King of Qinghai, for such a big thing this time, people should be more alert."
Qiu Zhenmu said in agreement: "Yes, this time, it is time for him to change his attitude towards the prince."
