As a century-old ancient road in the Tang and Tibet, the prosperity of Moliyi is no longer there at this moment, and there is only a deserted area.

Since the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were hostile, this important road connecting the two countries has been cut off, and only traces of the past can be vaguely seen.

After Guo Zhiyun, Pei Min and Lun Gongren arrived here, they had not had time to set up camp, and they learned that Simolang led his troops out of Damomen City. He directly gave up the three fortresses of Jintianqiao, Damomen City and Shuduan City in Jiuqudi, and led the remaining 35,000 troops to attack Moliyi.

Pei Min was very happy with Simalang's desperate decision.

Perhaps Simolang had the determination to burn his boats and fought to the death, which could inspire their last reign, but as long as they were annihilated, it would mean that the conquest was accomplished.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have long since become different from the past, so why should we be afraid of a direct battle?

only?

Pei Min thought of Simolang's personality and felt that there was something tricky.

Lu Gongren also came to Pei Min after hearing the news and said bluntly: "Duke, do you think Ximolang will be a fraud when sending troops this time?"

Pei Min looked at him and said, "Did you notice it too?"

Lun Gongren nodded.

Pei Min looked into the distance and said, "I never doubt the toughness of you Tubo people, nor do I doubt the determination to serve you. Although for various reasons, Tubo is now invincible, and there are no powerful figures, and his military strength is not as good as before. But in my heart, Tubo has always been one of the old enemies that cannot be underestimated. Simolang is a general, but not suitable for being a general. As the head coach, he is extremely unqualified, but as a general, his calmness and perseverance are sufficient. They are defeated soon and need time to rectify their military and restore morale. In theory, it is reasonable to send troops after morale has improved. It is too hasty to send troops now."

Lun Gongren said: "With Ximolang's character, he will definitely not be so impatient in using troops. He should have other plans. It is possible that there are Tubo generals in Qinghai Lake who have contacted them, and intend to gather the military forces of the two places while they are not stable, and attack us from the front and back."

Pei Min agreed: "So I plan to keep an army for backup. If there are really surprise troops attacking from behind, they can send troops to intercept them as soon as possible. As long as we get a certain amount of time, we can achieve great success."

"Leave it to the last general!" Lun Gongren smiled and said, "I won't fight with you for this skill of defeating the enemy."

Pei Min nodded and smiled, "Okay!" He looked at Lun Gongren's back and knew his thoughts. He had won the great achievements in taking Shibao City, and the remaining battle of Jiuqu in Hexi would not be involved.

This general who surrendered to Tubo was in public and then private, and was not greedy for merit and made a rash progress. He was a man who was self-disciplined and had rich military experience. He made great contributions to this expedition. If Tubo did not destroy the Great Wall on its own, if it were his opponent, this expedition might not have been so smooth.

Without thinking too much, Pei Min came to Guo Zhiyun to discuss the final decisive battle.

Pei Min did not give Simolang the opportunity to stop the army and rest. When Simolang approached Moliyi, Pei Min directly ordered an initiative to attack.

Forty thousand soldiers pressed against Simolang's Tubo army.

************

Inspired by Simolang, the Tubo soldiers recovered a little morale, especially when they learned that reinforcements had arrived, they just waited for the two armies to stalemate, and came from behind the Tang army and attacked the front and back, and even developed the desire to survive.

Simolang stood in front of the three armies and looked at the brave Tubo warriors, feeling very ashamed. If he had not been incompetent, how could the Tubo warriors fall into today's desperate situation?

Looking at the soldiers, Simolang said bluntly: "Soldiers, you should understand the current situation. We surrounded the Tang army, cut off our way, and there is no source of food, and we are killed. It can be said that we will die. Tigers also pretend to be dead. When a united wolf pack encounters threats, they will also escape in all directions. Fearing death is natural, not only you are afraid, but I am the same..."

His voice suddenly rose: "But the weak rabbits can bite people, and the gentle sheep dares to attack hungry wolves if they are anxious. What's more, we are Tubo warriors and eagles on the plateau!"

He roared sternly: "Now the warriors in Qinghai Lake are trying their best to support us. Our only hope for survival is to cooperate with reinforcements from the rear of the Tang army in this battle, attack the Tang army from front to back, tear a gap and return to our own home!"

go home!

The two simple words have increased the morale of Tubo.

The atmosphere also reached its peak, "Go home" and "fight to the death with the Tang thieves". The roars of tens of thousands of people present were deafening.

Simolang waved his hand to stop the shouting and issued a military order: "The commander of the Shushou led the cavalry in the center of the formation, divided into the vanguard army and the front guard; the vanguard army was responsible for breaking through the enemy's formation in the middle, and the front guard was responsible for supporting the vanguard and general led the six front armies. The commander of Wu Qianfu led the infantry on the left side of the vanguard army, which was the left front wing; the commander of Xubu Qianfu led the cavalry on the left wing of the formation, which was the left front wing. Huyan Qianfu, and the commander of the Zhe Qianfu, you two were arranged on the right wing of the formation in the right wing of the formation in the right wing of the formation in the right wing of the formation in the right wing of the right wing of the formation. Once the vanguard army of the Wanfu fought with the enemy, the left and right vanguards attacked from both wings, forming a circumvention against the enemy. The left and right front guards cooperated with the vanguards to attack the enemy's wings. When the time was ripe, the commander was in charge of the central army and commanded and coordinated to support the troops and horses. In this battle, there was no retreat, and there was no way to retreat!"

All the generals accepted the order in unison!

The heavy and chaotic sound of horse hooves treading on the ground, and the gasping and snorting sound of war horses getting closer and closer.

Forty thousand Tang troops stood in the cold wind, they lined up in an orderly manner, and huge military formations were filled with the breaths exhaled by wild men and horses, gathering together, like white clouds rising on the ground.

Looking at the Tubo formation, Pei Min smiled and said, "It's still so old-fashioned!"

"But it's really practical!" Guo Zhiyun said on the side. There is a name for this Tubo formation, called "the central breakthrough is broken through, and the two wings fly together"!

This is a tactic that Tubo specifically studied based on the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty.

They charged with heavy cavalry to shake the central army, and then surrounded by agile light cavalry, or divided or guerrillas, to maximize the advantage of the cavalry.

Especially since the damage of powerful crossbows is limited, the Tang army's powerful crossbows are unparalleled in the world, but the speed of fire is slow and it can only shoot directly in parallel is a major disadvantage.

The heavy cavalry cannot defend against powerful crossbow arrows, but it can minimize the damage of crossbow arrows, making it less than enough to penetrate several people, giving them enough time to fight in close combat, which can be said to be a test of all spirits.
