In full view.
Lun Qinling and Liu Shenli stopped three hundred steps away.
The two of them happened to be on a hill, and countless crossbows were pointed in their direction.
If there is a slight mistake, it will immediately be a situation where thousands of arrows will pierce the hearts of the coaches of the two armies.
Lun Qinling deeply bowed his hands to Liu Shenli, then raised his body and said calmly: "Pengcheng County Duke Ranking Work Department, I really don't know the truth. Why did the Emperor of Tang send you to be the commander of the army? It's not to belittle, in this case In the eyes of the Prime Minister, Gong is far inferior to Xue Rengui."
There was a trace of amusement deep in Liu Shenli's eyes.
Xue Rengui was in the Chinese army camp at the back. He didn't know anything about Qin Ling, but he was talking shamelessly here.
In an instant, the smile in Liu Shenli's eyes disappeared without a trace. He looked at Lun Qinling with a cold expression and said, "Pingyang County Duke also said this to me personally."
Lun Qinling suppressed the restless horses and chuckled softly: "Really? Xue Rengui also said that acting in an official manner is too lax?"
Just be content, be content.
The army fought three times, but Liu Shenli avoided all three battles, relying only on a large camp and numerous mechanisms to respond to the enemy.
But this is a battlefield. If one fire can't burn it all, just add another fire, and there will always be a time when it can be burned out.
Liu Shenli endured one game after another, no matter how long he could survive.
Liu Shenli looked at Lun Qinling calmly and didn't let go.
On Qinling's expression gradually became solemn.
Liu Shenli spoke slowly: "From the beginning of the war last year to now, a rough calculation shows that including the Tuyuhun soldiers, Tubo has either died or surrendered, and more than 70,000 people have been lost at the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
Even this year, your losses were more than 20,000, while in our country, the losses were no more than 3,000. "
Lun Qinling's face was calm, but behind him, the expressions of the more than 40,000 Tibetan soldiers could not help but change at the same time.
"Now there are more than 20,000 soldiers in our army camp. Are Tubo really ready for a decisive battle?" Liu Shenli's words shocked all the Tibetan soldiers.
They have never counted exactly how many soldiers there are in the Tang army camp, but if the Tang army really still has 20,000 soldiers, then I am afraid that the Tibetan soldiers now... Even counting the 10,000 soldiers in Xinghai, if they want to completely destroy the Tang army, they Also be prepared to accept a disastrous outcome.
"What's more." Liu Shenli turned around, looked in the direction of Fuqi City, and said calmly: "East Tuyuhun has restored its kingdom. King Tuyuhun will soon bring an army of 20,000 to kill him. Do you still have a chance of winning?"
"Why should I deceive myself?" Lun Qinling sneered immediately and said disdainfully: "There are more than 20,000 people in the Tang Dynasty, but among the 20,000 people, 15,000 people have not rested for two days and two nights. How much fighting power can he still have? As for Murong, does he dare to lead his troops into Qingnan now?"
With one sentence, Liu Shenli's face suddenly darkened.
He knew the situation of his army well, but what really disgusted him was Murong Nuohebo's reaction.
Three days ago, Liu Shenli had sent a message asking Murong Zhong to dispatch three thousand Tuyuhun cavalry to Dafeichuan for support. However, the letter was delivered, but none of Murong's men arrived.
Not to mention, Liu Shenli also hoped that Murong could bring some food to support him.
Although they were not very short of food, if Murong could provide more support, it would be of great benefit to the army, but they still did not move.
With their lips dead and their teeth cold, the Murong family has returned to the Tang Dynasty for many years. They don't understand this truth.
No wonder the King of Nanchang once said that the Murong family had hidden disobedience, but now it seems that the result is clear.
Seeing Liu Shenli's downcast expression, Lun Qinling smiled faintly, raised his head and looked toward Shanzhou in the northeast, and said softly: "Since the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, when the prime minister sent people to sue for peace but refused, the Tang Dynasty has been actively preparing for war and preparing food and grass in various ways. Ordnance, but first there was the death of the prince, then there was the rebellion of the Tianyin religion, and then the descendants of the prince Yin Jiancheng rebelled. In less than three years, the world was already at war..."
Liu Shenli looked indifferent. The Tubo people had been plotting to disrupt the Tang Dynasty in the past few years, but to no avail.
The so-called beacon smoke in the world is just a lie to their own people. No one can believe it, even the sergeants of the Tang Army.
Seeing Liu Shenli's indifferent expression, a trace of disdain flashed in Lun Qinling's eyes, and he continued: "At the same time, the sky has punished the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has been suffering from drought for two consecutive years, which is a sign of national destruction. Under this situation, the world Who else is willing to live and die with Li?
The Duke is in charge of more than 30,000 people, why not join forces with me to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, destroy the world, and sit on the highest position. "
In a few words, discussing Qinling actually wanted to incite Liu Shenli to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
These words immediately spread throughout the Tang Army camp, and there was an unknown amount of uproar.
"Is this just for the purpose of saying these boring words today?" Liu Shenli looked at Lun Qinling calmly, and finally couldn't help but shook his head and said: "If that's the case, your Excellency is too much for me to look down on. "
Lun Qinling smiled softly and still stared at Liu Shenli.
Liu Shenli shook his head slightly and said: "A certain person, Liu Shenli, was born in the Liu family of Pengcheng, a descendant of Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Han Dynasty.
His father, Dewei, was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of the Tang Dynasty, his biological mother was the Zheng family in Xingyang, and his stepmother was the Li family. He was the head of Pingshou County, a clan of the Tang Dynasty.
In his early years, a certain person was appointed as general Zuo Xiaowei Lang, and then transferred to the general position of eunuch. He was granted the title of Duke of Pengcheng County and moved to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
He was honored and favored by the emperor and trusted by the emperor. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Road March and was in charge of the Battle of Qinghai.
As long as Tubo can be defeated in one battle, Hui will be the prime minister.
Your Excellency, there is not much difference between you and me. "
After a slight pause, Liu Shenli continued: "What Liu wishes for in his life is what the King of Nanchang said: Please go straight to Lingyan Pavilion, just like a scholar with ten thousand households."
Ranking in Lingyan Pavilion was sought after by countless generals and famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Shenli was no exception.
After Liu Shenli finished speaking, countless soldiers in the Tang army camp immediately clenched their swords and their military morale was high.
Lun Qinling did not expect that he would be defeated in the end by Li Xuan's words: "Please come to Lingyan Pavilion, like a scholar with ten thousand households."
"Then you have to survive first." Lun Qinling looked at Liu Shenli calmly and said softly: "The Tang Dynasty has fought several battles, there have been two years of drought, and there are countless rats in the court. In this battle, you There was even a shortage of food. If the King of Nanchang hadn't brought food from Yizhou, you probably should have retreated long ago."
"The food always arrives." Liu Shenli looked solemn. He already knew what Lun Qinling was going to say.
Lun Qinling couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Relying on young people can save you for a while, but you can't save your whole life. Now that the food road in Shu has been cut off, Xinghai will be captured soon. The only thing you can count on is , is the general manager of the Northwest Road March in Shanzhou, I hope he will bring food, but unfortunately, he can't come, he will never come."
After saying "Lun Qinling", Liu Shenli's expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "You sent people to Shanzhou?"
Lun Qinling didn't answer him, just turned his head and looked northeast.
Liu Shenli turned around subconsciously and saw a flying horse galloping in the distance.
Immediately, a Qianniu Guard in red clothes and gold armor was running towards Liu Shenli with a pale face at great speed.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Qianniu Guard did not go to the main camp, but ran straight towards the hill where Liu Shenli and Lun Qinling were located.
After a while, he was close.
Qianniuwei turned over and dismounted, panting and kneeling on the ground, and then handed over his hands in pain: "Commander, Shanzhou was attacked, the chief steward was stabbed..."
With a "choking" sound, the long sword was unsheathed and instantly passed through Qian Niuwei's throat.
Qian Niuwei, who had not yet finished speaking, fell to the ground with a stunned look on his face. He looked at Liu Shenli in front of him, with extremely confused eyes in his dying eyes.
With a "ding" sound, a dagger slipped directly from the Qianniu Guard's sleeve.
Liu Shenli raised his head and looked at Lun Qinling, with a trace of disdain on his lips: "This is your method, use this kind of false news to shake the morale of the army, and assassinate me at the same time."
Lun Qinling smiled, and then said: "You are right, this is the true method, but the news is not false news, it is true, and the assassination is not the first time it has been used. Your Zhongshu Ling , also died in this way.”
"I see." Liu Shenli nodded unexpectedly and said, "Today's conversation was probably about this scene. So, now that I've finished speaking, I'm waiting for you to attack. By the way, you guys The rockets should be used up."
After Liu Shenli finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the camp.
Lun Qinling's face instantly darkened.
Because Liu Shenli was right, after a night of rockets, not only were there not many rockets left, but there were also not many normal arrows left.
"As if you still have a lot." After finishing speaking, Lun Qinling turned around.
The Tubo arrows were severely consumed, and the Tang Dynasty was not much better.
…
Returning to the front of the army formation, Lun Qinling raised his head and looked at the Tang army camp in the distance.
When news of the attack on Shanzhou came back, the front and middle camps of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but be confused.
But the front camp where Liu Shenli was located was firmly suppressed. As for the middle camp, it was said that it was guarded by General Wei, the right leader, and Duke Li Jinxing of Yan State. His middle camp was not so easily suppressed, and chaos had begun. spread.
"Send the order, 20,000 people attack the front camp, and 20,000 people attack the middle camp." With a simple sentence from Lun Qinling, countless Tubo troops instantly divided into two groups and rushed towards the Tang army.
The eyes of all the Tubo troops were full of excitement, and they rushed towards the two camps crazily in an instant.
In addition to a thousand heavy cavalry, there were 10,000 Tibetan elites behind them, and all the Tibetan soldiers were moved.
The decisive battle has begun.
The two camps of the Tang Army cover a very large area, the size of two small towns. The same is true for the 20,000 Tibetan troops who are besieging them. There are countless corners that can be penetrated.
In an instant, a rain of arrows shot out from the front army camp, and countless Tibetan cavalry were instantly turned upside down.
"Bang bang bang" pits suddenly appeared, and immediately, countless cavalrymen fell into the pits.
Soon, the cavalry filled the pit with heavy loads, and then continued to move forward.
At this moment, a harsh scream suddenly came from high in the sky, and a huge rolling stone crashed down from the sky.
Several Tubo cavalrymen were smashed into pulp in an instant.
Before these Tubo cavalry could react, more rolling stones fell like raindrops.
"The heavy cavalry came out to attack the middle camp." Lun Qinling's eyes fell on the army's middle camp.
Although there are countless crossbows and traps there, there are not many catapults.
Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.
…
Amidst the huge noise, thousands of Tubo heavy cavalry rushed directly towards the Tang Central Camp.
The countless Tibetan cavalry in front immediately moved out of the way.
Along this flattened road, the Tubo heavy cavalry headed directly towards the Chinese army camp.
He quickly rushed to the front and opened a path directly.
At this time, in the northernmost part of the Chinese army camp, a group of cavalry in blue clothes and silver armor suddenly came out of it and rushed forward in the direction of Xinghai.
The speed is amazing.
There was a hint of surprise on Lun Qinling's face.
Sure enough, some people still couldn't calm down.
It was the same back then.
Blue clothes and silver armor, but this clothes looks a bit familiar.
Five thousand cavalrymen rushed towards Xinghai at high speed at the same time, followed closely by 20,000 cavalrymen.
At this time, the heavy cavalry was a step slower.
Just when Lun Qinling ordered heavy cavalry to attack the front camp, hundreds of Tibetan cavalry suddenly fled from Qugou in terror from the northeast.
Behind them, smoke and dust billowed.
wrong.
Lun Qinling suddenly looked to the east and saw a group of cavalry in black clothes and black armor suddenly coming towards them opposite the group of cavalry in blue clothes and silver armor.
The leader was none other than Li Xuan.
At this time, the group of cavalry in blue and silver armor also instantly raised a military flag.
Xue.
Right Weiwei, Xue Rengui.
On Qinling's whole body was cold.
Our commander is not bad either.
