Thirty-five thousand Tibetan troops were already waiting in formation, and after the Tang army arrived, they also began to slowly arrange their formation.
The center army was infantry and the left and right wings were cavalry.
Zhao Ziliang and others stood on a hill to observe, but the Tubo army made no movement when the Tang army was setting up their formation.
Zhao Ziliang strangely asked the generals and staff on the left and right: "Now our army is setting up the formation, and the Tubo army has already completed the formation." , if the Tibetan army wants to attack, this is the best time to attack when our army is not yet stable, but Dazalukong turns a blind eye, don't you think it's strange?"
Li Siye said: "Could it be that Dazalukong felt unsure?"
Zhao Ziliang asked back: "If he is not sure now, will he be sure when our army is ready?
You know that as long as you can defeat the enemy on the battlefield, you can do anything.
Da Zalukong is a barbarian, and he is also You’re not so polite, are you?”
Chu Ge wondered: "Is it possible that the Tubo people don't have any treacherous tricks?"
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said: "Regardless of whether Dazalugong has any treacherous plot, we should be more careful for Miao Xuanshiba and let the scouts of the Huya Army expand the scope of the reconnaissance and search.
If they find enemy troops in other directions, they will Come and report immediately.
If there is any news about King Bailan’s army, please report immediately.”
Xuan Shiba cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
A quarter of an hour later, the Tang army's formation was completed, but the Tubo army still did not move.
Wang rarely saw this and clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, our army's formation has been completed, what should we do now?"
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said: "Wait" "wait" "Yes, I want to see what Dazalukong is up to later.
Since the two sides are facing each other, it is absolutely impossible for them to retreat without a fight."
An hour passed, and neither the Tubo army nor the Tang army made any movement.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and the sky became gloomier.
Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Xuan Shiba, is there still no news from the sentinel?"
Xuan Shiba stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the scouts are coming one after another to report.
No troops have been found within thirty miles from front to back, left, right, and left."
Zhao Ziliang said in confusion: "This is strange.
Since the Tubo people are not waiting for reinforcements or sending another army to flank our army, what on earth are they doing to wait?"
A quarter of an hour later, an eagle flew from afar, hovered over the Tang army for a while, then landed and landed firmly on Xuan Shiba's left arm.
Xuan Shiba took out a small roll from the bamboo tube on the eagle's foot.
Then he took a piece of meat from a soldier beside him and fed it to the eagle.
The eagle took it in one mouthful, spread its wings and flew into the sky again.
Xuan Shiba walked to Zhao Ziliang with a small scroll and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from King Bailan."
Zhao Ziliang took the note and unfolded it, read it, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Wang Ruanlan: "General Wang, order the 15,000 soldiers from the front of the Chinese infantry to attack, with Modao Army as the prominent front, and the whole body will advance in a fish scale formation."
"Accept the order."
Wang rarely agreed and immediately issued the order to the herald.
Drums sounded, horns sounded, and the front of the Tang Army's center moved.
Three thousand soldiers from the Modao Army lined up in a neat square formation at the front of the fish scale formation, and the other 12,000 people lined up in the center, left, and left. , right and rear army, the fish scale formation is a formation that is both offensive and defensive, most suitable for infantry to advance towards the enemy when attacking.
Three minutes later, the fish scale array was completed.
Under the command of the Tang army's former general, the fish scale array began to move towards the Tibetan army on the opposite side.
"Boom, boom, boom" the soldiers stepped in neat steps, and the ground made a loud bang with every step they took.
This neat step sound requires long-term training to be consistent.
The overall strength and momentum are here.
It was clear for a moment that this huge momentum was not much worse than the charge of a cavalry group.
The soldiers of the Tibetan army changed their colors in the face of this overwhelming momentum.
A few minutes later, the 15,000 infantrymen of the Tang Army in the Fish Scale Formation had advanced within the strike range of their bows and arrows, but at this time the Tibetan Army was still silent.
Zhao Ziliang frowned at Lao Gao, and immediately ordered: "Send the order, the front of the Chinese infantry stops advancing and use long-range bows and arrows to attack the enemy."
Wang Rao conveyed the military order with doubts in mind.
The 15,000 Tang troops who had protruded to the front stopped advancing when they heard the sound of the trumpet.

The leading general shouted: "Lie down and prepare to fire with your infantry bows!"
The Mo Dao army at the front all squatted on the ground holding their big Mo Dao, while the twelve thousand people behind them all took out their bows and arrows from their backs and lay down on the ground.
They bent their backs and raised their knees, spreading the bow arms with their hands and feet.
Put the arrow on the bowstring with both hands and pull the bowstring away, with the arrow pointed upwards.
With a "swish" sound, the general of the Tang Army pulled out his sword and pointed forward: "Fire the arrow."
There was a dull and loud "buzz" sound, and countless arrows flew into the sky, forming a black cloud, which fell from the sky in the blink of an eye.
A large number of Tubo soldiers in the Tubo army fell down after being hit by arrows, and a large number of arrows were heard. screams.
A Tibetan army general said anxiously to Dazalugong: "Marshal, Marshal, the Tang army did not follow the pattern we expected.
According to their shooting method, our casualties will be too great, and our army's bows and arrows cannot reach them.
Think of a way."
Well, with just a few arrows, our army suffered more than 2,000 casualties."
Dazhalu Gong was cold, gritted his teeth and uttered a few words: "Call the whole army to retreat slowly and get out of the range of the Tang army's bows and arrows."
"Yes, Marshal" As soon as the Tubo army moved, the general of the Tang army discovered it.
Wang Nanlan immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Tubo army has retreated.
Are they not looking for death if they retreat at this time?
Order the cavalry on both wings to attack across the board.
They will surely defeat the Tibetan army in one fell swoop." " Zhao Ziliang frowned and observed for a while and shook his head and said: "No, the Tubo army retreated, but it was not chaotic.
You all know that we have to use cavalry to attack.
If we really do this, we are afraid that we will fall into the Tubo army's cunning plan and send a few people."
Ten Cavalry went to explore the open space between the two armies.
There must be something strange in the middle.
There is no way to hide it around.
Only the open space between the two armies can do things."
After the order was given, more than a dozen riders ran out from both wings and rushed towards the open space in the middle.
Soon one of them fell down.
After a loud noise, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and a huge giant pit appeared in the open space in the middle.
Several large pits were discovered by Tang Army cavalry one after another.
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Ranran's forehead, "It turns out that the Tubo people had already dug a pit to wait for us.
No wonder they had already formed their formation but did not take the initiative to attack.
Instead, they waited for our cavalry to step into the trap they killed.
He Damn it, Dazalu Gongya is too insidious."
Zhao Ziliang said: "This cannot be said to be sinister or insidious.
No one wants to lose, and no one wants to die.
Send the order, and order 20,000 cavalry on each flank to bypass the Tibetan army and attack the Tibetan army.
The infantry of the Chinese army will continue to advance past the trap."
"Yes, Your Majesty" At this time, Dazalugong's face was gray.
His plan to lure the enemy failed.
The traps on the trap battlefield were completely exposed.
The cavalry on the left and right wings of the Tang Army had already been dispatched and began to detour to his flanks.
The infantry of the Tang Army's central army was also pressing forward step by step.
In addition, the Tang army still had a large number of reserve troops, which made him dare not use cavalry to attack the Tang army's infantry.
A Tibetan general loudly advised: "Marshal, order the whole army to retreat quickly.
Now we have to count every one who escapes.
If we run too slowly, I am afraid that all of us will die here."
Dazalugong did not believe in evil, so he ordered: "Retreating at this time will only make our defeat worse.

It is better to fight to the death.
As long as the sons are willing to die, we still have a chance to defeat the Tang Army.
The order: Infantry to meet the Tang Army's center."
The infantry and the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Tang Army met the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Tang Army.
Tell all the soldiers that this battle is related to the life and death of all of us.
Once defeated, we will all die.
Let the soldiers fight to the death."
"Marshal" Many Tibetan generals wanted to dissuade this brutal and reckless approach, but Dazalugong didn't listen at all.
After the military order was issued, the Tibetan army no longer retreated.
The infantry met the Tang army's infantry.
The Tang army was blocked by a large number of traps and was unable to advance in large quantities for a while.
The Tang army that had overcome the traps fought against the oncoming Tibetan army's infantry.
The Tang army's formation was neat and orderly.
The soldiers obeyed the orders and acted in unison, while the Tibetan army also fought bravely to take the lead in the final battle for survival.
The two sides were inextricably killed for a while.
The cavalry on the left and right wings also collided.
The large number of bows and arrows from the Tang army's cavalry caused the Tubo army's cavalry to suffer heavy losses before they even made contact.
However, the Tubo army still rushed over fearlessly.
The two sides soon intertwined, but the Tang army did not stop.
It can move at a touch, giving full play to the mobility of the cavalry.
After half an hour of fighting, the Tubo army was defeated but still persisting.
Wang Nan could not help but sigh: "It seems that the Tubo people are going to fight tooth and nail.
With their desperate efforts, they probably know that if If they fight hard, they will all be doomed."
Zhao Ziliang sneered: "If they don't fight hard, they will die faster.
Everyone is a fool.
They know that they can only fight hard in this situation."
After another half an hour, the Tubo army could no longer resist.
Whether it was cavalry or infantry, there was a clear gap in the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers.
In terms of overall combat effectiveness, the Tang army showed its fullest, and its will to fight was much firmer. .
Just when the Tibetan army was about to lose its hold, their new enemy appeared again.
A cavalry force of more than 10,000 people rushed towards the Tibetan army from behind.
A large number of arrows flew over and caused chaos in the rear of the Tibetan army.
This cavalry rushed into the Tibetan army and killed them wildly.
The Tubo army was unable to hold on at first, but now the sudden arrival of this enemy caused them to completely collapse on the spot.
The Tibetan soldiers began to flee in large areas, and the Tang army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing.
"King Bailan Murong Jieyan," Dazalugong yelled through gritted teeth as he looked at the army rushing over from the opposite side.
The guards next to him could not care about anything else at this time, but just protected him and broke out to the side.
Zhao Ziliang saw King Bailan's troops arriving as expected, killing the Tubo people to the point of complete collapse, and immediately ordered: "Send the order, the entire army will attack on all fronts, and capture Dazalugong for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty":
