Zhao Ziliang led the 5,000 cavalrymen of the Beiting Army to break through the Tibetan cavalry formation blocking the west gate, and rushed directly into the Tibetan army camp.
From a distance, he saw a tall tent erected in the center of the camp.
He knew that it was the Tubo army.
The army in the army tent immediately led the cavalry of the Tang Army behind them to rush over, cutting a bloody path along the way, with countless corpses lying quickly on both sides.
There was a chaos in the Tibetan army camp.
The senior Tibetan army leaders in the Chinese army camp soon noticed it.
Someone went out to check and found that the Tang army cavalry had penetrated the cavalry formation in front and came directly towards the Chinese army's tent.
They were immediately panicked.
Confused, he ran back to the tent and said anxiously to Tubo Zanpu Xisongde: "Zanpu, something bad has happened.
The army's cavalry suddenly rushed out from the city.
Our cavalry formation was unprepared and was penetrated by the opponent.
Now the Tang army's cavalry was charging towards the Chinese army's tent.
There was a chaos in the camp.
The soldiers were terrified and could no longer resist at this time.
Stop, seeing that the Tang Army’s cavalry is about to attack, it’s better for Zanpu to evade the attack and retreat quickly.”
"What?"
Tubo Zanpu Xisongde and Marshal Dazalukong were shocked when they heard this.
Dazalugong immediately said angrily: "What do the cavalry in the front do for food?
How can we let the Tang army rush over?"
A minister next to him said anxiously: "The cavalry formation probably did not expect that the Tang army would be so bold to rush out of the city, so it was unprepared and was killed by the Tang army.
At this time, it is not the time to pursue this matter, so Zamp should evacuate quickly.
Leave this to Marshal Dazalukong."
When the young Zanpu Xisongde heard this, he lost his temper.
He pulled out his sword and shouted: "I won't leave.
I want to kill the enemy with my sons."
Dazalugong walked outside the camp and saw a Tang Army cavalry rushing towards us at a very fast speed.
They were only one mile away.
He was quite shocked.
He saw that there was no enemy under the Tang Army general, blocking the way.
Our own Tibetan soldiers in front were beheaded like vegetables and melons.
With this With such a sprinting speed, he would rush over soon.
He immediately turned around and said: "Zanpu, this is not the time to be impulsive.
Let's retreat first.
The Tang army rushed too fast.
The soldiers were all panicked.
At this time, no one could Someone is blocking the Tang army.
Quickly help Zampu onto his horse and take Zampu away first."
Several guards immediately rushed over to pick up Xisongde and left.
Xisongde was pushed onto the horse and still refused to give up.
He ordered: "Order my guards to stay and block the Tang army's cavalry."
Immediately, a Tibetan general agreed: "Don't worry, Zanpu.
As long as I am here, I will not let the Tang army catch up with Zanpu's chariot."
When Dazalu Gong saw Zampu being escorted away by several guards, he immediately mounted his horse and led his soldiers to retreat to the west, and ordered some of his soldiers to go forward to block the pursuit of the Tang Army's cavalry.
The distance of one mile was too close.
Although the Tubo army was large in number, the camp was also large.

The panicked soldiers in the camp were running around.
The assembled Tibetan army was shot down by a hail of arrows from the Tang cavalry.
Zhao Ziliang collapsed.
With 5,000 Beiting Army cavalry, they rushed into the middle Not far in front of the military tent, he saw several richly dressed Tibetan nobles and generals running out of the tent and escaping to the west.
He knew that they must be important figures in the Tibetan army.
He immediately picked up the reins and turned his horse around the central army.
Zhang Zhang chased in the direction where the Tibetan army fled.
Along the way of pursuit, Tibetan soldiers kept turning back or coming out from both sides to stop them.
Zhao Ziliang killed them all, but his pursuit was not slowed down at all.
Zhao Ziliang was waving his horse to chop and stab while observing the battlefield situation.
He found that the Tibetan army was completely disrupted at this time, and the generals could not control their troops.
It was impossible to organize a large-scale army to counterattack. , knowing that he made the right move.
He kept an eye on some Tibetan nobles and generals who were escaping from the Chinese army's tent, and found that two groups of several hundred Tibetan infantrymen were coming diagonally from the left and right to block his way.
He immediately hit two groups of them in succession.
The two battalion-level captains saw his gesture and immediately shouted: "Brothers, follow me."
Two cavalry battalions were separated from the middle of the Tang army and sped up to meet the Tibetan infantry who were approaching diagonally.
Each of them fired a hail of arrows at them.
Both Tibetan infantrymen fell in large pieces.
At this time, the Tubo army had already lost their support.
Panicking, these two teams of hundreds of people were hastily organized.
No one had the courage to confront the murderous Tang cavalry head-on.
After a large number of them were shot down by a hail of arrows, the other Tibetan soldiers collapsed immediately.
Many dropped their weapons and turned around and ran away.
Many others not only lost their weapons, but also Take off your armor and throw it to the ground to reduce the weight and make you run faster.
Chasing all the way, Zhao Ziliang found that he was very close to the fleeing Tubo nobles and generals.
He saw one of the most gorgeously dressed people in the Tubo nobles surrounded by a large group of Tubo nobles, so he guessed The man was probably a big shot, and his status was definitely not low.
When he saw that there was no one to stop him in front of him, he immediately put his horse on the winning hook, took out the precious eagle bow and an armor-piercing arrow, and shot the Tubo bow with an arrow.
The noble man shot in the back.
With a "swish" sound, the armor-piercing arrow left the string and rotated at high speed during the high-speed flight.
It penetrated the back armor of the Tubo nobleman without any hindrance, but did not penetrate from the front.
The arrow remained in the body.
The Tubo noble sat on the horse for a moment, then lay down on the horse.
The guards around him were shocked when they saw this, and screamed.
Dazalugong looked at the arrows on the backs of the people around him with a pale face, and immediately shouted to all the guards around him: "You stay here."
Come down and form a human wall to block me.
Even if we all die in battle, you still have to block the Tang army's pursuit."
"Yes, Marshal."
Perhaps realizing what was about to happen, the thousands of Tubo cavalry guarding the Tubo nobles stopped collectively, turned around and formed an extremely dense formation to charge towards Zhao Ziliang and the Beiting Army cavalry behind him. come over.
"Die to me!"
Zhao Ziliang roared, and the horse in his hand swept away more than a dozen Tubo cavalry, knocking several horses away, but he and the Tang army cavalry behind him were also blocked.
The formation of these Tibetan cavalry was so dense that there was almost no gap between the two cavalry.
It was impossible for Zhao Ziliang to rush past.
His horse had to stop after knocking away three Tibetan horses in a row, but The horse in Zhao Ziliang's hand could not stop at all, and continued to kill the surrounding Tubo troops.
After killing the Tubo troops, their horses slowly dispersed.
By the time Zhao Ziliang led the Beiting Army cavalry to kill more than a thousand Tubo Army cavalry, the Tubo nobles and generals had already disappeared.

Zhao Ziliang turned around and saw that the cavalry and infantry of the Tubo army were running away desperately.
He immediately waved his hand: "Purchase the Tibetans as a team and return to the city before dark."
"Yes, Marshal" After receiving the order, the cavalry of the Beiting Army immediately dispersed in teams as combat units to chase and kill other Tibetan soldiers.
Of course, the cavalry were the fastest runners.
Most of those who were caught up and killed were infantry.
However, the cavalry also suffered many casualties.
When they first charged into the formation, The Tibetan cavalry blocking the front suffered extremely heavy losses.
Only a small number of them were able to escape.
Most of them were either killed when charging into the formation, or were trampled to death by crowding each other while turning around and escaping.
From dusk to dark, with corpses everywhere, the Tang army, led by Zhao Ziliang, returned to the city one after another with the loot.
The Tubo army, which was besieging the city on the other three sides, learned that the camp of the commander in front was raided by the Tang army.
Without a leader, the Tubo army was worried.
They were also attacked by the Tang army's cavalry, and they retreated for more than ten miles before stopping to set up camp again.
Outside the west gate of Xiping City, Cen Shen and Wang Wei led a large number of officials and generals who stayed in the city to go outside the city gate and lined up in a long queue to welcome Zhao Ziliang, who had returned in triumph, and the Beiting Army cavalry.
"The generals below the official rank are waiting to welcome the commander-in-chief on his triumphant return."
All the generals bowed down one after another.
This time they went out of the city to raid the Tibetan army camp, which was a careless attack on the Tibetan army.
The results of the battle greatly inspired all the Tang army generals and non-commissioned officers.
"Hahaha, everyone is not polite."
Zhao Ziliang laughed for a while, raised his hands to let everyone stand up, and said: "Cen Shen, the main camp of the Tubo army has been destroyed by our army, and the Tubo army left behind countless baggage.
Food, grass, equipment, and the Tibetan army's escape Weapons, armor, etc. left behind in time, you quickly organize people to clean the battlefield overnight.
The battlefield must be cleaned before dawn.
If there are not enough people, you can mobilize the people in the city and let them clean the battlefield together.
You can promise them some money."
"No" Cen Shen agreed.
After Zhao Ziliang led the cavalry into the city, Cen Shen and others got busy.
Large numbers of Tang Army soldiers and people in Xiping City went out to clean the battlefield.
Cars of weapons, armor, arrows, crossbows, food and fodder, and Groups of war horses, cattle and sheep were sent into the city by Tang army soldiers and people.
At this time, at Duoba Station, fifty miles west of Xiping City, Dazalugong and a small number of troops finally stopped.
After the army entered Duoba Station, Dazalugong immediately walked quickly holding Xisongde who had fallen into a coma.
Go to the post station lobby and put it on the table.
At this time, Duoba Post was abandoned because the Tubo Army had killed the original Tang Army post soldiers and had fled.
The Tubo Army soldiers came in and immediately started cleaning.
Dazalukong looked at Sisunde who was unconscious and pale and was very anxious.
He turned around and shouted: "Go find the medical monk quickly."
"Yes, Marshal" Dazalukong looked at the unconscious Sisunde again, and immediately turned around and said to the generals: "We fled in a hurry.
At this time, we have lost contact with the three armies besieging the north, south and east.
Send people immediately.
In the past, I told the generals of these three armies to retreat fifteen miles to camp.
This time, they must take protective measures to prevent another Tang Army cavalry raid."
"Yes, Marshal" A general asked: "Marshal, the troops to the north and east of Xiping City can retreat, but a few miles south of Xiping City is the Huangshui River.
The troops surrounding the south gate cannot retreat south."
Dazalugong thought for a while and said: "Let them retreat fifteen miles to the west and become our barrier.
Also, send people to gather the defeated troops of each department overnight.
Let the defeated troops come to Duoba Post immediately to assemble."
