Wang Nannan arrived within an hour with 2,000 infantry and baggage battalions.
He and Zheng San had already received the news, and hurried over to meet Zhao Ziliang before the 2,000 infantry were settled.
"General" and the two of them bowed to Zhao Ziliang respectively.
Zhao Ziliang nodded, pointed in the direction of Qingshiping and said: "The three thousand infantry led by Dazalugong have been surrounded by someone in Qingshiping.
After a round of fighting just now, it is good that there are still two thousand of his three thousand people.
He I was also hit by a certain arrow.
Even if I didn't die, I'm probably not far away from death.
Wang Nan, I leave this to you.
I will leave you a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry for you to attack Qingshiping."
Wang Nan agreed: "I can't obey the order, General, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Ziliang looked in the direction of the new city, "Of course he was going to deal with Dazalugong's reinforcements.
We both encountered each other here.
He knew that his three thousand infantrymen could not escape the pursuit of our cavalry, so he decided to fight here.
But he would definitely send They went to Xincheng to move reinforcements.
According to the information found by the Jiedu Envoy, Dazalu Gong had 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry under his command.
This time he only brought 3,000 infantry, so those willing to stay in Xincheng It must be two thousand infantry.
I estimate that the reinforcements coming from the new city will only have a thousand cavalry at most.
Calculating the time, the reinforcements should be arriving soon.
After I destroy the reinforcements, I will continue to march towards the new city.
Are you there?
The less than 2,000 men and horses left here to besiege Dazalukong, don’t be anxious, find where their food and grass are stored, shoot rockets over and burn it, they will collapse if they can’t hold on for two days.”
Wang Rao saw that Zhao Ziliang had thought up a way to annihilate the Tubo army.
He felt no pressure at all.
He immediately handed over his hand and said: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely not let you down."
"Okay, don't rush to attack.
Let the infantry rest and gather enough strength to fight again.
Okay, that's it."
Zhao Ziliang said, and then said to Ma Lin: "Lead a cavalry regiment and stay here to follow General Wang's command." " Ma Lin cupped her hands and said, "Yes."
Zhao Ziliang led two thousand cavalry and quickly left Qingshiping and headed for the new city.
"Come here, send out sentries to search in the direction of the new city.
Pay special attention to the mountains and forests on both sides."
"Yes, General" The cavalry rode their horses at a trot and headed towards the new city.
The sound of the horse's hooves did not carry very far and the sound was not loud.
Within fifteen miles of march, a cavalry sentry came back and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, a thousand soldiers are coming from the direction of the new city."
The Tibetan reinforcements of the cavalry are less than ten miles away."
At this time, there was a lot of horse hoofbeats coming from the front, and Zhao Ziliang asked: "Where is the place five miles ahead, and what is the topography and topography like?"
"After walking another three miles, we turned into the bank of Datong River.
On the left side was a bare mountain forest.
The mountains were rugged and rugged, making it impossible to hide people or climb the rocks."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately made a decision: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.
Send an order to the whole army to speed up and prepare the camp."
"promise" After speeding up their march, two thousand Tang Army cavalry, under the command of Zhao Ziliang, quickly turned a corner and entered the bank of the Datong River.
At the end of August, the ice and snow on the Qilian Mountains melted, the river water level was very high, the water quality was turbid, and the current was fast, and on the right On the side is a bare mountain.
The mountain is indeed rugged with strange rocks.
There is no way to go up the mountain and there is no way to hide soldiers and horses.

When all two thousand infantrymen entered the road on the bank of Datong River, Zhao Ziliang saw dense black spots appearing at the end of the road.
He immediately stopped his horse and raised his palm to signal the army to stop advancing.
The ordering soldier immediately shouted: "The general has ordered that the entire army stop advancing."
The war horses ran forward a few more steps under the influence of inertia and then stopped.
For a moment, the entire cavalry team of two thousand people never made a sound again.
Zhao Ziliang picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.
A flag appeared in the lens.
The pattern was the Tubo flag.
At the front was a Tibetan general wearing iron armor riding a grey-coated war horse.
The other party also soon discovered the Tang Army cavalry that had stopped on the river bank.
However, due to the distance, they could not see clearly for the time being.
However, after walking in, they quickly discovered that they were not their own troops and immediately ordered to stop advancing.
The two armies were separated from each other.
They faced each other within a mile.
When Zhao Ziliang saw the gold-nailed Zaoyang spear hanging on the victory hook, he took out the precious eagle bow and shouted: "Everyone is ready with bows and arrows!"
"Swish, swish, swish," the soldiers took out their bows and arrows one by one.
Next, they had to rely on their legs to control the horses, and their hands were free to use the bows and arrows.
After a pause for a few seconds, Zhao Ziliang shouted: "The Tibetan cavalry is ahead.
As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.
This sentence refers to the current situation, the entire army is lined up in twenty columns."
Under Zhao Ziliang's order, the two thousand cavalry quickly lined up in twenty columns.
The valley was only so wide, and the twenty columns just filled the entire valley.
The gap between each column could not accommodate one cavalry.
If you rush through such a dense formation, you can imagine the impact it will have.
"Kill" Zhao Ziliang roared, holding the horse's belly between his legs and rushing out, followed by the first row, then the second row and the third row.
Two thousand Tang Army cavalry moved at this moment, like a dam opening its floodgates, and a black steel torrent accumulated powerful power and rushed out.
"Rumble" The sound of horse hooves came like thunder from the sky.
The entire valley was shaking and trembling.
The rapid water on the river was trembling.
The bare mountains on the left could not help but tremble.
From time to time, there were a large number of stones and rocks on the top of the mountain.
Debris tumbled down.
The Tibetan army on the opposite side also moved at this time.
Compared with the dense and strict formation of the Tang army, the formation of the Tubo cavalry was much looser.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the Tibetan cavalry could not compare with the Tang army at all.
They did not have uniform helmets and uniforms.
Armor, no shield, plain linen clothes, only spears, lances and knives.
"Prepare for three rounds of shooting, release the arrow."
Zhao Ziliang shouted and shot the first arrow, followed by the first and the second.
It has been calculated long ago that based on the maximum range of the Tang Army's bows and arrows, the bows and arrows of the Tang Army cavalry at the back can just land thirty meters away from the front row of cavalry.
When the first round of arrows fell, the flying Tubo The army was hit by arrows from almost all directions, and a large number fell down.
Three consecutive rounds of arrow rain fell, and the formation of the Tubo cavalry on the charge became even sparser.
However, the Tubo troops finally gritted their teeth and persevered.
Everyone knew that it was absolutely impossible to turn around in a confrontation between the two armies in this terrain.
Retreating, retreating or escaping means death, while rushing forward has the hope of living.

Two torrents moved toward each other at extremely fast speeds.
One torrent of black steel was much denser, while the other torrent was sparse and sparse, with a much different momentum.
When the distance between the two armies was less than 200 meters, the Tubo generals finally discovered the strong shock caused by the Tang army's dense formation and became frightened.
When they wanted to order the cavalry behind them to line up more densely, it was too late. .
"boom" The two armies finally collided.
In an instant, people were overturned, spears were broken, human bodies flew up, broken limbs and arms were scattered everywhere, blood was splashed everywhere, and many people were drowned in the huge momentum before they could make any sound.
In the blink of an eye, the fallen people and war horses were trampled to pulp by the cavalry rushing from behind or in front.
The neighing of the war horses, the shouts and screams of the soldiers, the clash of weapons and the terrible sound of piercing the human body were intertwined. , forming a symphony of war in this river valley.
Zhao Ziliang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he kept shouting, "Kill, kill, kill."
The golden nail Zaoyang in his hand kept swinging and sweeping across it.
The Tubo general was stabbed to death by him in the first place, and he is still there The Tubo cavalry who rushed over were swept off their horses one by one by him and were crushed into pulp by the Tang army cavalry behind them.
In such a narrow valley, the lethality of the Tang Army cavalry in a dense formation was so powerful, like an iron plow being pulled forward quickly by a crazy bull, everything blocking the ground in front was Turn over.
The followers following Zhao Ziliang were actually very relaxed.
With Zhao Ziliang opening the way in front, they basically had nothing to do.
Only when an enemy attacked Zhao Ziliang from the side did they have the opportunity to help Zhao Ziliang block the attacks from both sides.
The two thousand Tang Army cavalry were like a huge arrow, and Zhao Ziliang was the tip of the arrow.
It was extremely sharp and tough, and nothing could stop his sharpness.
Zhao Ziliang was covered in blood from the killing.
He rushed for three miles and killed the entire Tibetan cavalry.
Only then did he feel that the front suddenly became clear and there was no enemy anymore.
Looking back again, the river valley where the Tang Army cavalry rushed over was densely covered with the corpses of Tubo cavalry.
Many of the corpses of Tubo soldiers and horses had been trampled to pieces by the Tang Army cavalry, and blood flowed from the heights to the ground.
As the river flows away, the turbid water on the river begins to turn red.
Not a single Tibetan cavalry escaped, and a thousand Tubo cavalry were all folded here.
After the Tang army cavalry stopped, except for the snoring of the horses and the sound of the gurgling river, the surroundings seemed quiet, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire valley.
Among them, disgusting.
Zhao Ziliang placed the gold-nailed Zaoyang spear on the victory hook, took off his helmet and tucked it under his arm, wiped the blood from his face, and ordered: "The soldiers can dismount and rest for two quarters of an hour.
Each regiment will count the casualties and losses." " "Yes, General" The cavalrymen of the Tang Army dismounted one after another.
Many of them went to the riverside to see the blood on Xiqu's body, and some were grinding their newly chipped weapons on the rocks beside the river valley.
Not long after, the two regiment captains came over to report the losses to Zhao Ziliang.
The first regiment lost 68 cavalrymen, and the second regiment lost 72 soldiers, for a total of 140 casualties.
This loss was within the acceptable range of Zhao Ziliang.
The Tang army had a deliberate plan, and the Tubo army came with the hope of a quick rescue.
They did not expect to encounter the Tang army cavalry halfway, so they were beaten to a certain extent.
Caught off guard
