10. Tang Jiaerlang came out
Now the entire Qingxi Pass to Papaya Ridge became extremely lively. Nanzhao wanted to instigate the Tang and Xifan to start a war as soon as possible to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but Wei Gao and Gao Yue took advantage of the distrust between the two foreign races on the opposite side and provoked them.
The most miserable thing is Lumangre. All the camps under his command were panicked: Nanzhao and us are so distrusted, will they really cut off the return of Sanfu City? You must know that the households and land of tens of thousands of foreign soldiers are also in this turbulent state. If they are defeated and destroyed, the entire Dafan's foundation that has been hard-working in Yunnan for 30 years will be declared gone.
In that case, even if you seize the distant Anxi and Beiting after a hard battle, you will not be able to make up for the blood lost in this wound.
The Tang family, who has recovered now, aims to rely on their strong national strength to make Xifan bleed everywhere until the blood flows dry and dies.
On December 17, the Tang army beated drums at Qingxi Pass.
Amid the turbulent drums, Lumangre, Lumangren, Lumangling, Ma Dingde, Xinuolu and other major remarks, governors, defense ambassadors, and looking at the Tang army's formations on the mountains of Qingxi Pass, all of them were terrified:
This time, Gao Yue only asked the military commander Ximen Can to lead a small number of troops and horses to stay with his husbands to guard Wangxing City. Then he sent the Dingwu Army, a total of 13,000 Fengyi Army, of which 7,000 Dingwu Army, 6,000 Fengyi Army, and 6,000 Dongman Yi from 6,000 people, a total of 19,000 elite troops, all climbed Qingxi Ridge, joined the two thousand soldiers and horses of Liu Chaocai, the Marquis of the Fengyi Duke, who was originally guarding here, and lined up along the rolling hills. Their purpose was very obvious, and they took the initiative to fight against Xifan. If Xifan did not want to retreat, they would take the opportunity to climb all the key points of Papaya Ridge, overlooking and even attacking the external defense barriers of the Chengtai City.
The heavy snowfall for many days brought Qingxi Pass to the plains between Papaya Ridge, and the terraces were buried. There were originally few plants and trees here. The ground was covered with rugged rocks, covered with ice ridges. It was within sight. Only a few black lines meandered through the camps of the two armies. They were either narrow streams or thin roads that temporary people stepped on...
Lunmangre was frightened to find that the Tang army skillfully launched the attack formation. They arranged the tiger-crawler and the big yellow crossbow in the center of the formation, the so-called "former gate", and mixed with the "rushing car" transported by a cattle over Qionglai. It is a simple fortification. It has a board under it, two wheels, and two push rods behind it. It is surrounded by railings and wooden signs for arrows on three sides. There are various beast patterns on the front, and there are archers standing on it. A sturdy line of defense is surrounded.
Behind the first front of the tiger's squat, yellow crossbow and rushing chariot, there were countless crossbowmen. They arranged the formation according to the rules of the collision team, and they scattered on the snow-capped platform like black plum blossoms. There were charcoal braziers for unknown purposes in each line, and fireworks floated over the entire formation. There were also a group of children of the Fengyi Army holding a sword (similar to the teeth soldiers). They fought in the infantry battle, all wearing heavy armor, covered with Shu brocade colored silk, and remained motionless. From a distance, they looked like rainbow clouds in the black fog, holding long-handled blades, and the handles were engraved with the inscription "Ding Qinzhou".
In the center, Wei Gao's Fengtao Banner, "This is Wei Lang in the Old Taoguan!" Most of the Xifan camps were southern Taoist soldiers, and they were still scared of that crushing defeat. Seeing Wei Gao's battle flag, he was even more disappointed.
Lunmang was terrified and frightened, and saw the right wing of the Tang family. The front row was a few Dongman Yisong, most of whom were carrying wooden shields and holding spear darts in their hands. The back rows were all holding wooden bows and short arrows. However, Lunmang knew that these Dongman people all liked to apply poison on the arrow clusters, and those who were bleeding from arrows were killed. Behind the Dongman soldiers, there were infantrymen of the Dingwu Army, each battalion held a forest-like long scepter, which was a growth version of Huating after the war. Now it was nine feet long, with soldiers holding round cards and holding swords horizontally between them, and the back was Gao Yue's jumping soldiers. They lowered their bodies and held long swords in their hands. The inscription "Pinglong" was engraved on the swords.
"Most of the armor of the Tang army soldiers is my foreign object!" Lumangre sighed at this time.
Gootouyuan, Anlezhou, and Huating won several victories. Gao Yue's Dingwu Army's jumping soldiers and the swordsmen were all wearing chain mail seized from foreign soldiers. The insufficient number of Xingyuan Prefecture Gu and Lizhou iron officials could also be controlled by themselves. At this time, the Dingwu Army infantry was extremely powerful in the sunlight after the snow, and the armor was sunny.
When the foreign soldiers saw Gao Yue's black and white Pixiu battle flag, they all exclaimed that the Huating and Weiyuan Tu Gaolang was here, and they were frightened again. Especially when they saw the armor on the Dingwu soldiers all over the mountains, they all came from their killed companions, they were even more afraid.
Then, when it comes to Mangre, the left wing of the Tang army was mostly composed of the Eastern Barbarians, and the formation seemed to be evacuated a lot.
The sun moved, drums sounded, and Lumangre watched the Tang army's formation move. They came step by step from the hills under Qingxi Pass.
"What should we do now?" Lun Mangre didn't care, so he could only temporarily bow down on the horse's back and ask the resourceful Ma Dingde.
Ma Dingde looked forward for a while, then calculated with his fingers and said to Da Luan truthfully: "Nanzhao and I are suspicious of each other, the Tang army is strong in the army, and our army is full of troops and horses. The right time, place, people and people are not with us. According to my opinion, don't fight this battle. Da Luan you can throw away the camps of Papaya Ridge as soon as possible and retreat to the Taitai City."
Lun Mangre shouted in distress: "What should I do after I step down into the Taicheng?"
"Mobilize all men and women to enter Dengtai City and the surrounding forts and villages to defend themselves, not only resist the Tang soldiers, but also block Nanzhao, and strive to ensure that the state is not lost."
So what am I doing here?
What does this mean to me?
Between Zamp and Madingde, who should I listen to this great discussion?
Lun Mangre, the highest commander of the southern road of Xifan, was trapped in the three most deadly doubts as a general.
Before he could make a decision, the sound of a tsunami sounded, which made his mount retreat repeatedly.
"Our army's right wing!" Lu Mangre shouted loudly.
The right wing of the Western Fan Army was thousands of elite war cavalry. They held up the flying "Lion Battle Flag" and rode a unified red war horse. The horse's hooves were white in color. They flew into one with the raised snow foam and rushed down from the built-up mountains like a large area of fire hanging in the air. The "Yuan" with stone casters and light bows ran to the left wing of the Tang army!
This time, the right-wing attack was a self-destruction that was not received by Lumangre.
Because they saw that most of the left wings of the Tang army were Yi soldiers of the Eastern Barbarians, all of which were in stairs and were not well-equipped, so several enemy defense envoys dressed in tiger and leopard skins and cage officials decided to tear a hole in the "weak" left wing of the Tang army.
