Outside the west gate of the new city.
Under the scorching sun, three thousand Tibetan troops were arranged in a neat square formation, with their flags hanging limply.
The ground was already dry and cracked.
Only the Datong River next to it was still gurgling, bringing some moisture to the new city.
These Tibetan soldiers stood upright, letting the sweat flow but doing nothing.
No one moved at all, which shows that this army is well-trained and disciplined.
Dazalugong stood in front of the formation riding a yellow gelding, his right hand gently stroking the horse's mane, but his eyes were fixed on the west.
Two days ago, news came from Shuiquwan in the north of the Qilian Mountains that the Tang army had besieged Shuiquwan.
There were only three thousand soldiers and horses there, and the city wall was not tall and strong.
With the Tang army's siege capabilities, Xinong Shen might not be able to hold on for long.
He got After the news Immediately prepare food, grass, ordnance, and prepare the army for support.
Today's preparations have been completed.
He is about to lead his troops to Shuiquwan for reinforcements.
He just hopes that Xinong Shen will still persist and Shuiquwan is still in the hands of the Tibetan army and has not been attacked by the Tang army.
Down.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from the front along the Datong River.
It was a wandering horse.
This man galloped to Dazalukong, reined in his horse, stopped, and saluted: "General, there is still no news."
Dazalugong's face darkened, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "No wait, the people over at Shuiquwan won't be able to hold on for long.
Send the order, the army will set off, and troops will be sent to Shuiquwan for reinforcements."
As the shouts spread, three thousand Tibetan troops, led by Dazalugong, slowly marched westward along the Datong River.
The soldiers wore thick fur mattresses and braved the scorching sun, covered with sweat.
Moving forward, flags were flying and dust was rising along the way.
An hour and a half later, the Tubo army marched 40 miles to Qingshiping.
They saw the hottest time of the day at noon.
The soldiers could not bear the heat.
Dazalu Gong was about to order the army to stop advancing and find a shaded place to rest, eat and drink.
Drinking water, at this moment, a riding sentry came galloping from the front.
There was an arrow stuck in the back of this detective sentry, and he was riding precariously on his horse.
Seeing this, Dazalukong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately raised his hands to rein in his horse, and the army behind him quickly stopped advancing.
The sentry rushed to Da Zha Lu Gong and said dyingly: "General, the Tang and Tang troops are twenty miles ahead.
There are at least three thousand or three thousand cavalry left."
Tanshao fell off his horse and died before he could finish his words.
Daza Lugong was so anxious that he immediately jumped off his horse and came to Tanshao, grabbed his shoulders and shook him a few times, shouting: "What else can I do besides this?"
What else are there for three thousand cavalry?
Wake up, wake up."
Dazalukong was finally disappointed.
The detective was dead and could no longer speak.
He could no longer ask the next question from his mouth.
He put down the body and stood up, but his mind was extremely clear.
The news of three thousand cavalry exploded in Dazalugong's mind like a thunderbolt.
He originally had five thousand troops in Xincheng, including three thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, but this time he wanted to reinforce Shuiquwan because he had to cross the Qilian Mountains. , the speed of cavalry crossing mountains and ridges is much lower than that of infantry.
After all, it is not helpful to the battle situation and will become a burden to the army, so he only brought 3,000 infantry.
Three thousand cavalrymen can defeat his three thousand infantrymen with almost no effort as long as they are commanded properly in a slightly flat location like Qingshiping.
Beads of sweat appeared on Dazalugong's forehead.

It was impossible to return to the new city.
He was afraid that he would be overtaken by the Tang Army's cavalry before he was even halfway through.
The infantrymen on the march would definitely be in danger of being chased by the cavalry.
Dazhalu Gong looked around Qingshiping.
It used to be a small village with not many people and houses.
Since the new city was captured by the Tibetan army, the Han people here have basically been wiped out, leaving only a few Tuyuhun people.
A dozen scattered houses and some herdsmen's camps along the river made Dazalugong give up the idea of using houses to resist the Tang army.
There are three thousand cavalry at the front of the Tang army, and it is unknown how many infantry are behind them.
The idea of using these houses to defend against the enemy is not feasible, and it is very likely that they will be trapped and die here.
What should I do?
Cold sweat was pouring from Dazalugong's forehead.
The situation was too critical.
His mind was racing.
Staying here would be a dead end, but the only way to retreat and die faster was to temporarily stay here to block the Tang army.
In addition, Send people back to Qingcheng to move reinforcements.
But there is not only one road from Xincheng to the foot of Qilian Mountain leading to Shuiquwan.
The Tang army may have more than one road.
If the Tang army has other troops leading to Xincheng from another road, Dazha Lugong thought of this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Got more.
Thinking of this, Dazalugong immediately called his guard captain and asked him to rush back to the new city and bring a thousand cavalry to rescue, leaving a thousand cavalry to guard the new city.
After seeing off the captain of the guard who was moving the reinforcements, Daza Lugong immediately directed the troops to move to Qingshiping and set up a defensive formation on Qingshiping, waiting for the arrival of the Tang army.
On the one hand, he saved the soldiers' physical strength and on the other hand, he calmly arranged the defense. formation to resist the impact of the Tang Army's cavalry.
Qingshiping is surrounded by bluestones, and there are also pieces of bluestone on the ground.
It is located by the Datong River.
The terrain is slightly higher than other surrounding places.
Setting up the military formation on Qingshiping can effectively suppress the impact of the cavalry.
After setting up a military formation at Qingshiping, Zhadalugong arranged for some soldiers to go to the nearby forest to cut down some trees and use these trees to build horseback and fences to block the Tang army's cavalry charge.
Just when Dazalugong learned about the arrival of the Tang army, Zhao Ziliang also learned that Dazalugong and his three thousand troops were about to rush to the aid of Shuiquwan.
It could be said that enemies were on a narrow road, and the two troops were about to encounter each other at Qingshiping.
Zhao Ziliang sent people back to Jiedushi Wang Jue to report the situation.
On the other hand, he sent detective cavalry sentries to investigate the situation of Dazalugong's troops.
He first led three thousand cavalry to rush towards Qingshiping.
Wang Nan was left behind to lead two thousand infantrymen and a baggage battalion.
Da Zalugong had just set up his military formation, and some of the Tibetan soldiers who had gone to cut down the trees had just returned.
Zhao Ziliang, Gao Xiuyan, Zhang Shouyu, Ma Lin and others led 3,000 cavalry to Qingshiping and blocked them on Qingshiping. .
Zhao Ziliang took the lead and reined in his horse not far in front of Qingshiping.
The three thousand elite cavalry behind him completed the pause and formation process in a few breaths.
The three thousand elite cavalry were neatly arranged one mile in front of Qingshiping. land.
Dazalugong, who was standing on the blue stone flat with the handle of the sword in his hand, couldn't help but gasped when he saw this situation.
This is the most elite cavalry he has ever seen so far.
No cavalry has ever been able to reach this level.
At this level, his expression became even more solemn.
Zhao Ziliang came forward with the gold-tacked jujube sunglasses on his horse.
Forty meters in front of Qingshiping, he reined in his horse and said loudly: "Zhao Ziliang, the envoy of the Hexi Great Fighting Army of the Tang Empire, is here.
The leader of the Tubo Army will come out to see you."

Dazalugong, who was standing in front of the Tibetan army formation in Qingshiping, heard Zhao Ziliang's voice and said to himself that this person was Zhao Ziliang who killed the second prince Langzhidu and defeated the Iron Blade Xinuoluo.
Even Marshal Mangbuzhi was killed.
He killed and lost his armor, returned in defeat, and lost face.
Wait until I test his strength.
Dazalugong thought of this in his mind, and immediately took out the long bow from the bow bag and a sharp arrow from the quiver.
He aimed the bow at Zhao Ziliang and shot out.
With a "swish" sound, the arrow was heard.
Zhao Ziliang's sharp reaction was that he reached out and grabbed the arrow as soon as it hit him.
"Humph, is this the ambition of an army general?"
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and rebuked loudly.
As he said that, he took out the precious eagle bow from his bow bag and held it in his hand.
He put the arrow on the bow string, aimed at the direction where the arrow had just come from, and shot it out, shouting loudly: "Give it back to you."
Zhao Ziliang only used 30% of his strength for this arrow, but it was still extremely fast.
The arrow hit him in the blink of an eye.
Da Zalukong was shocked and immediately blocked it with his sword.
There was a "ding" sound, and the arrow was knocked off, but Dazalukong's arm was numb from the shock, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the hand holding the knife continued to tremble.
"What a powerful way."
Dazalu Gong was shocked in his heart.
No wonder this man was able to kill Marshal Mangbu and fled.
Just this bow and arrow is not something that ordinary people can resist.
Even if he blocks this arrow, his combat effectiveness will be lost.
Less than half.
After being shocked by Zhao Ziliang's counterattack, Dazalugong also knew that his mind was a bit too narrow.
The other party came to him openly to answer, but he silently fired arrows at him.
He was really not waiting for him.
The way of guest.
As the saying goes, if you lose the enemy, you will not lose the battle.
Da Zha Lugong put away his long bow and put it in the bow bag, rode his horse forward and said: "It turns out to be General Zhao Ziliang of the Tang Dynasty.
Enland Zha Lu Gong has heard about the famous name for a long time.
I wonder what the general wants to say. explain" Zhao Ziliang said loudly: "General Enlan, since Tuyuhun surrendered to our Tang Dynasty, this new city has been our Tang Dynasty's territory.
But since the death of Princess Jincheng, the Tubo Kingdom violated the Chiling Covenant and attacked our Tang Dynasty Hexi. land, massacre me Hexi people, plundering livestock, Zhao saw that General Enlan was also a hero of the generation, could he also be a treacherous person?
As long as the general agrees to lead the army to retreat to the south of Chiling, Zhao can guarantee that he will not move one of your soldiers and let the general leave.
What does the general think?"
Dazalugong laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, General Zhao, since ancient times, the two countries have been fighting, without distinction between right and wrong.
You and I are each our own masters.
Let's not talk nonsense.
General Zhao would like to draw a line.
It is absolutely impossible for me, Dazalukong, to retreat to the south of Chiling Mountain."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Since General Enlan is so stubborn, then we just have to use swords and guns to show the truth."
After that, Zhao Ziliang turned around and returned to the military formation and began to organize an attack.
The terrain of Qingshiping was slightly higher, and cavalry would suffer losses if they charged up.
Moreover, Dazha Lugong had already set up some fences and horses in front of the formation.
Zhao Ziliang observed for a while, and in order to reduce losses, decided not to charge towards Qingshiping, and only used The cavalry used cavalry and shooting tactics in front of Qingshiping
