In the early morning, the mist was filled with fog, and the sunken light wiped away the dew from the armor, looked at the large vine bridge that was looming in the distance, and suddenly heard the increasingly clear and dense sound of horse hooves.

"The thieves crossed the river."

As Chen Guang said to himself, Nan Jiyun and others who followed him out of the camp to investigate the enemy situation at dawn were all excited. Everyone knew that as long as the entire thief crossed the river, they would win half of the battle.

"Let's go and take a look."

As Chen Guang spoke, he had already left by taking a horse, and Nan Jiyun and the others rode their horses to follow. Among the Tang army, there were definitely many generals who personally inspected the enemy's formation and terrain before the battle, but this was also a very dangerous thing, because no one knew whether they would encounter the enemy's scouts.

...

Mu Long looked at the military camp with only a few fences in front of him, his face darkened. Xiao Bolu was indeed a waste, and even a military camp was not well built. No wonder the Tang army easily took down their capital like chopping melons and vegetables. These five thousand soldiers could be completely defeated by giving him a cup of tea.

"The Marshal said that after I arrived, he would strengthen the camp. All the Xiaobolu people in the camp went to the forest to cut down wood."

Zhu Jubo nodded. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he only had fifty people in his hands, and could only barely suppress these distracted Xiao Bolu people.

As the fog dissipated, the Xiao Bolu soldiers who were awakened by the sharp iron whistle, looked at the Tubo cavalry who rode their horses on the arrogant vine bridge and were so scared that their faces were as dark as earth.

"Everyone gets up, everyone gets up, and they all go to the mountains to cut down trees."

The Tubo warriors under Zhu Jubo shouted loudly, and then the Xiao Bolu soldiers were scolded by their own officials who had already come back to their senses and hurriedly left the camp, took out the military camp with tools such as axes and hemp ropes.

"Where are those five old dogs, take me to meet them."

Soon the five ministers were brought to Mu Long, "I am the vanguard of Marshal Zhulong's tent. The marshal asked me to ask you, the king and the princess are dead, why don't you die!"

Mu Long smiled grimly and greeted his soldiers, "Hang the five of them in front of the camp, wait for the little Bolu people to come back after cutting the wood and tell them the disobedient fate."

"General Mu, you can't kill me, you can't kill me!"

"Why can't I kill you five old dogs? I'm still standing there and doing something, hurry up and start."

The soldiers under Mulong took out the rope for the horse and immediately walked towards the panicked five ministers, skillfully putting them on the necks of the five people who were trying to resist. As for their confidants who were trying to save the Lord, the Tubo soldiers next to them were chopped over to the ground.

"General Mu, you can't kill me. The Tang army has a conspiracy, there is a conspiracy. If you kill me, you won't know."

Seeing the three companions being strangled to death by the thick and barbaric Tubo warriors unreasonably, the leader of the Lei family shouted frantically, and then was overturned to the ground by the Tubo warrior who came to kill him, putting the rope on his neck.

"Don't kill him first, let him say."

Mu Long waved his hand to stop his samurai, then looked at the other old man who had been strangled to the point of half his life and could not even speak, and directly gestured. Then the Tubo warrior who had loosened the rope slowly tightened the rope. The leader of the Lei family watched the old acquaintance's eyes popped out, his face turned purple, and finally died of miserable slump to the ground, and was so scared that he peed his pants.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Mu Long laughed and said, "You old dog, you are so scared that you wet your pants. Hurry up and tell the Tang Army's conspiracy, otherwise you will be sent down to be your company."

"General Mu, the Tang army attacked Niduo City, but not many people died at all. The Tang army wants to lead you across the river and wipe you out at Niduo City."

The leader of Lei's family said hurriedly, fearing that the ropes on his neck would tighten when they were separated.

"Interesting, the Tang army is going to lead us across the river. I ask you, how many Tang army members are there in Nieduo City?"

"Five thousand, five thousand."

The leader of the Lei family shouted quickly, but he seemed to realize something, and quickly changed his words, "Ten thousand, no, there are twenty thousand, and there are twenty thousand Tang troops in Anuyue City...ah!"

Mu Long whipped it hard, and then cursed, "Old Dog, do you think I am a fool? If the Tang army had 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses who could cross the snow-capped mountains and plateau and fight you, they would have already hit the city of Luoshe long ago."

This time, the army was more than 25,000, and it was only after setting off in Lusue City that it was the size of recruiting troops from various Ruwei clans from the local area. Mu Long followed Zhulong and Mangbuzhi to fight south and north for many years, and he didn't know how many times he had fought with the Tang army, so he didn't know the situation of the Anxi Army.

There are only more than 20,000 Han soldiers in the four towns of Anxi. It would be good if Gao Xianzhi could bring half of his troops. He would recruit soldiers and horses from the foreign countries along the way, and 20,000 people would be the best. No matter how many of them, they would not be able to afford the consumption of eating horses along the way.

"Five thousand, five thousand, five thousand, five thousand."

The leader of the Lei family screamed. He actually didn't know the strength of Shen Guang's hands, but he could only follow the cruel Tubo general in front of him.

"Five thousand people, after fighting Lianyun Castle, it is impossible for them to lose without losses. I think these five thousand people should be the warable soldiers of the Tang army."

"What leads us across the river is just to scare people."

Mu Long looked at Zhu Jubo. On the way, he and the Marshal also met Sanjie who escorted Prince Chizan to return home. Naturally, he knew what Zhu Jubo said.

Zhu Jubo dared not refute that although he was from a large clan, he could not compare to the beloved general of Marshal Zhulong in front of him, so he had to respond, "What the general said is right."

"You, after staying in Xiaobolu for a long time, you are as timid as those Xiaobolu people."

Mu Long looked at the Lei leader who was still dripping from his thighs and said disgustingly, "They five of them came together, so he sent them to go together in an orderly manner."

Before he finished speaking, the leader of Lei asked to beg, but his neck was strangled tightly. He opened his mouth and grabbed the rope on his throat desperately, but he grabbed it closer and closer, and his legs that were kicking desperately soon lost strength.

Zhu Jubo looked at Mu Long who killed all the five ministers after he arrived, and felt a little worried. Although Marshal Zhulong was cautious, he often avoided fighting against the Tang army in recent years, but he made generals like Mu Long under his command feel suffocated. Xiao Bolu was five or six thousand miles away from Anxi. The Tang army who came here was alone and there would be no reinforcements. It was indeed suitable for Mu Long and the others to use to vent their anger.

Zhu Jubo's caution was only because he had only five thousand Xiaobolu people in his hands at that time, and he was simply unable to fight. Now that Mu Long has arrived, Marshal Zhulong brought another elite soldiers from the Geru clan this time, and an army of 25,000 people was indeed enough to push the Tang army from afar.

Fighting on such a plateau, no matter how elite the Tang army came, it would never be an opponent of their Dafan warriors.

Soon, the bodies of the five ministers were hung high in front of the military camp. Although the sunlight, who was far away from the military camp, could not see clearly the appearance of the hanging corpse, the five corpses were enough to explain everything. For a moment, his face darkened. The five ministers did not know their background. The news he asked them to bring was also a sign of weakness in the enemy, and none of them was true.

"Master?"

"Don't worry, these five old dogs don't know the background of our army. Even if they tell the thief about someone, the thief just thinks that I am arrogant."

Chen Guang waved his hand and said, after the Tubo cavalry crossed the bridge, he drove the Xiaobo soldiers to the mountains beside him to cut wood. He obviously planned to strengthen the military camp and fight with them in Nieduo City. The old thief Zhulong Mangbuzhi might have the same idea as him, and they all wanted to wipe out his opponents here.
