"Zhamu, take your men to attack the enemy's right wing and tell them that if there is no order to retreat, anyone who steps back will be killed without mercy."
Zhao Ziliang stared at Zhamu with murderous intent.
Zhamu felt chills all over his body and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, I will restrain my subordinates.
If they dare to retreat, I will make them regret it without the king's order."
Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After Zhamu returned to the main formation, he immediately organized his troops to move to the left side of the army's formation, and began to personally lead the attack on the right wing of the Tibetan army.
The Tibetan army general noticed this and immediately ordered the right wing to take the initiative to fight.
If the cavalry duel adopts a defensive strategy, Obviously it is not a wise move.
Only by taking the initiative to fight can the enemy not take advantage of it.
The sound of a large number of horse hooves soon spread far away, and the shouts of killing spread to the center and right armies from far to near.
When the other soldiers on both sides heard the sound, they turned their heads and looked over.
They saw thousands of cavalry on both sides confronting each other and making contact.
Before the melee, neither side used cavalry.
It's not that you can't shoot with a bow, it's that you don't have one.
The Tubo army has bows in its weapons and equipment, but the bows are only equipped for infantry, and the cavalry don't have bows.
Obviously, the Tubo people are not good at riding and shooting.
It seems that they only have the ability to shoot on horseback on the northern grasslands.
Only the nomads are proficient in riding and shooting.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," The soldiers from both sides were holding up slender spears and ramming into each other, constantly making bursts of strange screams from their mouths, and a series of sounds like bang, click, boom, etc. passed through, and finally they hit each other. , soldiers from both sides were stabbed off their horses or knocked to the ground directly.
Zhao Ziliang noticed that these Tibetan soldiers made strange noises when attacking.
This strange habit and phenomenon almost existed among the barbarian armies he had seen.
It seemed that making such strange noises could improve their morale or bring trouble to the enemy.
Create strong psychological pressure and cause panic and confusion to the enemy.
The soldiers of the Tubo army only had slender spears and scimitars, and only officers were equipped with knives.
Ordinary soldiers were only equipped with spears, but there were very few armors.
Only senior generals wore iron armor, and other middle- and lower-ranking officers could only wear armor.
Leather armor, and ordinary soldiers did not even have leather armor except for weapons, but the sheepskin mattresses they wore served as leather armor.
After the official engagement, various strange roars spread, and war horses and soldiers kept falling.
Compared with Qu Sangda's Tibetan soldiers, Zhamu's servant army was no worse than their opponents in combat quality.
But their spirit and fighting will are worse than their opponents.
After all, they are The surrendered and reorganized servant army had lost its original bravery and vigor.
Therefore, although the right wing of the Tibetan army only had 1,500 cavalry, it still had the upper hand in the battle.
More than 2,000 soldiers were killed.
After half an hour of fighting, the servant army was already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
Zhao Ziliang frowned.
If troops were not sent to reinforce Zhamu, Zhamu's army of servants would most likely be defeated soon.
After observing for a while, he immediately ordered Chen Qing: "Go and send an order to Zhao Bei.
Let him bring his more than 2,000 Tibetan mercenaries to reinforce Zhamu and help me defeat the enemy's right wing."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Chen Qing agreed and immediately conveyed the order to the herald.
The military order was conveyed to Zhao Bei's army in the form of flags and drums.
After Zhao Bei heard the drums and saw the flags, he immediately took off the horse twig from the victory hook and started his war horses to run back and forth in front of the mercenary formation of more than 2,000 young Tibetan men.
After a round, he stopped and shouted: "Warriors of the Dingri tribe, now is the time for you to show your bravery.
You must use your actions to prove that the king is right in hiring you with a large amount of fields, grain, cattle, sheep and horses, excellent weapons and armor, and free employment.
The choice is to kill me."
A Tibetan man who was following Zhao Bei relayed his words in Tubo language, and the Tibetan mercenaries raised their weapons and yelled.

"Kill" Zhao Bei clamped his legs between the horse's belly and rushed out first with the horse's spear in hand.
More than two thousand Tibetan mercenaries behind him also rushed out with their horses and weapons in hand.
The general of the Tubo Army saw that the Western Qin Army had sent more reinforcements.
He was a little anxious for a while, but he had no other way.
He had 5,000 men in his hands and 1,500 cavalry on the right wing.
Only the center army and the left wing were left.
With 3,500 cavalry, if troops from the central army and the left wing are transferred to reinforce the right wing, the strength of the central army and the left wing will inevitably be weak.
The Tubo army immediately ordered the central army and the left wing to launch a full-scale attack on the Western Qin army, and personally led the army to attack from the center.
They wanted to use the central army and the left wing to open up the situation.
As long as the central army and the left wing could occasionally gain an advantage, they could make up for the disadvantage of the right wing. the crisis brought about.
After seeing this, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said to the generals and officials: "This Tibetan army general seems to have some combat experience.
He knows that he has insufficient troops and cannot reinforce the right wing.
If he wants to restore the situation, he can only open up the center and left wing. situation, but how can our central army and right wing He was so easy to fight and passed on the order, ordering the 1st Battalion of the Ninth Army's heavy armored cavalry to attack the oncoming Tibetan army, ordering the 1st Battalion of the Ninth Army's light cavalry to fight against the Tibetan army's left cavalry, and ordering the 9th Army's cavalry archers to attack.
The first battalion carried out long-range cruising and shooting on the outer left flank of the enemy's left wing."
Chen Qing immediately conveyed the order.
The speed of conveying the order was very fast, and the execution ability of the Western Qin Army was also very fast.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to convey the order and execute the order in such a short time without a well-trained army.
Complete it before the enemy rushes over When bursts of dazzling light came from the opposite side, the Tubo army generals and soldiers closed their eyes involuntarily.
When they saw the scene on the opposite side, they couldn't help but exclaimed, "Iron Cavalry" Tubo does not produce iron, and all the iron tools used need to be purchased from the Tang Dynasty and surrounding small countries.
Therefore, iron tools are extremely precious in Tubo.
This is why only Tubo generals can wear iron armor, and everyone in this group of Western Qin cavalry can wear iron armor.
Wear bright and shiny Even the horses were covered with shiny steel armor, which made the Tubo army drool.
But they forgot that although the iron armor was precious, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry equipped with iron armor was undoubtedly not ordinary.
The cavalry can match it.
The general of the Tubo Army became jealous and shouted: "My sons, kill these Western Qin Army cavalry and rob them of their armor.
Kill them!"
"Kill!"
the Tubo soldiers roared, beating their horses and rushing towards the heavily armored cavalry of the Western Qin Army.
At this moment, the Tibetan soldiers showed their bravery and fearlessness, their morale soared, but they lost their minds.
In front of the heavy armored cavalry, their fearlessness seemed to have little effect.
"Fire the gun!"
the Captain of the Iron Cavalry Battalion roared, and pressed down the four-meter long gun held diagonally.
The head and barrel of the gun were pointed forward horizontally, and the tail of the gun was pressed against the belt on the side of the saddle.
The cold light of the gun was The head reflected a frightening light in the sunlight.
"Boom" the two sides collided, and the horrible sound of disgusting spear heads piercing into the human body and the horse's body spread.
The strong Western Qin war horses knocked the Tubo horses to the ground, and the Tubo cavalry on the horses fell to the ground.
They were also strung together one by one.
On the gun barrels, as the horses continued to sprint forward, more and more Tubo cavalry were strung on the gun barrels.
Some four or five people were strung on the gun barrels.
The strong pressure broke the gun barrels, which also gave Xi The horses of Qin's armored cavalry relieved the burden.
The broken gun barrel caused the Western Qin heavy cavalry to lose their impact and assassination effect.
The cavalry on horseback quickly drew out the horizontal knives at their waists and continuously slashed at the oncoming Tubo cavalry.
A large number of Tubo cavalry were knocked down and trampled by the horses. died, more were stabbed with lances, and some were hacked to death.
The result of the confrontation between light cavalry and heavy cavalry was a disastrous defeat, a one-sided defeat.
None of these Tubo troops, including the generals, had ever seen the powerful impact of the armored cavalry group charge.

This was definitely not something that an individual could withstand.
Therefore, The Tubo generals and cavalry didn't even have a chance to regret.
With just one face-to-face charge, the three thousand Tubo cavalry that rushed towards them were completely annihilated by the impact of one thousand Western Qin heavy cavalry.
The right wing of the Tubo army began to lose ground after Zhao Bei led reinforcements, and gradually became unable to withstand it.
The left wing of the Tubo army was defeated by the Western Qin light cavalry and archers after a joint long-range attack without close combat with the Western Qin light cavalry.
Then the Western Qin cavalry began to chase the first Tubo troops.
The right wing of the Tubo army was greatly affected after the central army was destroyed and the left wing was defeated.
In the blink of an eye, a large-scale rout occurred.
Zhao Bei and Zhamu immediately led his troops to pursue them.
The Western Qin Army's cavalry pursued them all the way to the Yarlu River and rushed into the Tibetan Army's camp.
The battle ended in only an hour.
The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, taking prisoners, and counting the loot.
Zhao Ziliang looked up and saw that it was still early, so he ordered all the remaining troops of the army to march into the Tibetan army's camp by the river.
Others continued to clean the battlefield, and the soldiers who took the prisoners were responsible for collecting the prisoners.
They escorted them to the Tibetan army's camp by the river.
Zhao Ziliang walked into the Chinese army's tent, took a cowhide bag on the table, opened the stopper and smelled it.
It was goat's milk.
He took a big gulp and then told Chen Qing who followed him in: "It's still dark before it gets dark." , quickly send people to the riverside to check the water depth and flow speed, and whether there is a place where you can cross the river within a radius of fifty miles."
Chen Qing agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the scout camp has sent someone to deliver the news.
You can cross the river from the river in front of the camp, and the water is not too deep, only as high as the horse's back."
"Oh."
Zhao Ziliang put down the cowhide water bag, thought for a moment and asked, "Has the scout camp sent anyone to cross the river?"
Chen Qing said: "Probably not yet.
This place has been occupied by the Tibetan army before, and the scouts in the scout camp are not yet capable enough to cross the river under their noses."
"Then let the scout battalion send people to check on Qu Sanda at night."
"Yes, Your Majesty":
