In front of the Tubo military camp, looking at his own scout who had escaped, Zhulongmangbu's eyes showed fierce light. At this time, it was already dawn, and the sun jumped out of the eastern horizon, making a golden light shine on the Poyi River. The troops in the camp behind him were also neatly dressed.

"You just ran back like that!"

Zhulongmang Buzhi's voice was gloomy. It was natural for the commander of the Tang army to arrange scouts to lurk in his own camp. On the battlefield, the scouts' role was the eyes and ears of the army. Now he has become a blind and deaf man and has no idea about the movements of the Tang army. He lost half of the point before he even fought this battle.

"Everything was pulled down and chopped."

"Marson, I came back to report because I was afraid of delaying the military situation..."

The scout who escaped by chance shouted loudly, but Zhulong Mang Buzhi's personal soldiers kicked him directly and slashed his head on the spot. Then more than 30 Tubo scouts were all beheaded and displayed in public.

Before the army could leave the camp, a series of bloody heads were hung at the gate of the camp by Zhulong Mangbu. He wanted everyone to know what the outcome would be if they escaped in the last battle. The next decisive battle with the Tang army would not allow any mistakes.

"Marson, do you want to send someone again..."

"No need. If the Tang army had guarded the agreement, they would have left the city long ago. I would have passed my order, and the army would have left the camp, and the vanguard camp and horse teams would explore the way, and see where the Tang army was lined up and waiting for us."

Zhulong Mang Buzhi would not think that the Tang army would come foolishly to attack his reinforced camp. If the army continues to consume, he will not be able to afford it. Today, he will break up with the Tang army.

As the messengers rode into the camp, the sharp whistle and iron whistle were soon connected. When the camp gate opened, cavalry was in front and infantry were behind. The troops under the banner of clan slowly emerged from the camp. The first horse team to ride out of the camp even rode their horses along the avenue to Nieduo City.

...

On the plain between Nieduo City and Poyi River, Shen Guang, who was riding on a horse, raised his left hand high, and then the tooth soldiers beside him naturally understood it. Then a commander drove out from the team and shouted, "The Lord has an order, and the whole army will form a formation."

The originally long dragon-like team quickly stopped below. The men in front quickly changed from columns to horizontal lines, completing the standard battle formation of the Tang army, with crossbowmen in front, and spearmen in shields behind, and behind were cavalry and war horses that had not been hung. Finally, the heavy infantry led by Li Siye and Tian Zhen were pressing the formation.

The cavalry and the three thousand battalions of the Five Consciousnesses hovered on both sides of the military formation. Then the baggage soldiers at the end pushed all the Wugang chariots carried by the army on this expedition to the front of the crossbowmen, forming a series of staggered defense lines. Then the crossbowmen and teams in front stepped forward to garrison one by one.

On the simple-built spots in the rear, after Shen Guang climbed onto the stage, the five-color military flag and the chief flag were also erected. "The soldiers were repaired on the spot, and there was no need to make noise. Those who surrounded the orders were killed."

Soon as the order flag was waving, the soldiers of the Shattered Ye soldiers who had finished the array sat cross-legged, and no one dared to speak loudly. At most, Shiwu lowered his voice and talked in a low voice.

"When I went to war, my mother said that when I got back, I would find an ice man to tell me about my marriage..."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't forget that the Lord said it. Some words should not be said randomly before the war. It would be bad if you touch your eyebrows!"

A fire chief stared at his young man and taught him a serious lesson, he was fortunate to hear from the Lord that he must not say anything before the war, and that I will go back to my hometown to get married after this battle, which is unlucky.

Several soldiers next to him laughed softly when they heard this. At this time, the brigade commander who was patrolling came over, but glared at them and said, "Don't be clamoring, the lord has an order, and those who make noises and riots will be killed!"

Suddenly, even the soldiers immediately stopped talking and did not dare to say a word. Until the general of the troupe left, someone whispered, "The fire has long been a turtle that Tubo people have been so long, will they really come out of the turtle shell?"

"What do you care about so much? Since the lord said that he would fight the thief to the death today, those Tubo people will definitely go out to camp."

In the military formation, the scouts of the Pamirs rode their horses out again to inquire about the movements of the Tubo people in front of them. The Tubo people's army was five times that of their own. If a large army came out of the camp, the movement would definitely be quite loud, and it would be a long time to form a formation.

Standing on the platform, before the scouts of the Pamirs had already come out, Chen Guang had already seen the smoke and dust rolling up in front of him. According to his estimate, he came a team of at least four or five hundred people. It seemed that Zhulong Mang Buzhi finally started to move. Since he decided to leave the city for battle, Chen Guang had already thought through it. Zhulong Mang Buzhi could not wait, but both sides had to have an unstoppable side.

"Big Worm, you should lead the team to the battle. Don't let Captain He and the others suffer. If the thieves retreat, they will let them go."

In front of the general's platform, Bai Xiaode, Nan Jiyun and the elite fang soldiers were all covered in complete clothes. They were You Yi camp composed of elite cavalry in the army and were ordered to support the military formation at any time.

"Here."

Bai Xiaode took the order loudly, then glanced at Nan Jiyun proudly, then waved his spear and shouted, "My sons, come out with me."

In an instant, the hundred-man elite cavalry covered in armor followed Bai Xiaode's corridor left by the army and went straight out of the formation to the battlefield where the battle was already in battle.

Nan Jiyun would never care about Bai Xiaode. He was born in poverty since childhood and was used to the cold world in Chang'an City. His mentality was much more mature than Bai Xiaode, who was born in the royal family. He knew that Bai Xiaode had no malice, but he just cared too much about the title of the first war general under the command of the Lord.

...

Although the number of scouts in the Pamirs was less than that of the Tubo cavalry, He Dali was fearless in front of his own army. The scouts in the Pamirs were lying low on their horses, pressing the range of their own army's crossbows and shooting against the Tubo cavalry.

For a moment, in the smoke and dust, arrows were falling like rain on both sides. The Tubo cavalry wanted to kill and kill the arrogant Tang army scouts, but looking at the walls made of Wugang chariots, they shrank again. Who knew if there was... no... behind them, it must be that the Tang army's crossbowman was hidden.

Only fools will go up and be targets!

The leader of the Tubo village camp just called on his cavalry to shoot and retreat while shooting, trying to lure the Tang army scouts on the opposite side to pursue them, and then kill another one to retaliate. Relying on the number of people, they wiped out the Tang army scouts from both wings.

When Bai Xiaode led the team out, it was He Dali who led the Pamir scout forward. Because he had heard the sound of cavalry running in the army behind him, he naturally knew that this was the reinforcements sent by the lord, so he simply took the courage to plunge into the herringbone formation set up by the Tubo cavalry.

"kill!"

Seeing the Tubo cavalry that was about to complete the encirclement, Bai Xiaode grabbed the horse's belly and rode his horse with a spear first, and broke into the tail formation of the Tubo cavalry.

On the way to the expedition to Xiaobolu, there was a rumor that began to spread in the army that those soldiers who had not yet married must not say before the war that they would get married in their hometown after fighting this battle, otherwise they would cause disaster. Later, this rumor became a rumor that the soldiers of the Imperial Legion believed. When the recruits were talking such nonsense, they would be severely scolded by the veterans. - Excerpted from "The Storm of the Anxi Legion Expedition" by Faucas Scipio
