Chapter 4823: By the Sea of ​​Lemo

Three days later, Lun Qin Ling and Bo Lun Zan Ren reorganized their troops and horses at Nalu Post, and Xidoyu arrived with two thousand soldiers.

The fourth son of Sitayu Nai Ludongzan was fat, tall and mighty. Although he was not as famous as his brothers, he was very popular with Ludongzan because of his calm personality. Whenever there was a war, he would do things like logistics, rearguard, and city defense. Sitayu delivers many tasks and never disappoints.

Five thousand elite soldiers were at the Ela Pass. Lun Qinling and Bo Lunzan were riding horses and whipping up their whips, ready to go. Sidoyu stood on the ground holding the reins of the two horses with his hands behind his back. His fat face was covered with sweat and he didn't bother to wipe it off. , his eyes were full of worry: "The second brother has always been very wise, but the younger brother dare not point fingers. My feet, I just want to remind you that if things don't work out, your safety is the most important thing. Don't risk everything and put yourself in a desperate situation! The fifth brother is brave and has no companions. He can defeat the army and kill the generals as easily as he can. However, you should know that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the swords and arrows have no eyes. Everything must be done. You must not act like a hero by following the orders of your second brother!”

Lun Qinling patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I know it in my heart. As long as you guard the Ora Pass so that I have no worries, I will be invincible."

"Second brother, don't worry. Even if I die here, I will block the mountain pass with my body and wait for you to come back!"

Bo Lunzanren rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "You keep asking us to protect ourselves, why do you insist on life and death just by opening your mouth? That's all. Eat less meat quickly and walk a few steps. I’m panting and sweating, and I’m so fat!”

Sitayu was not angry even after being criticized by his younger brother. He smiled naively and said: "Brother, I don't like women, nor do I like to lead soldiers in war. I only like food and drink. If I give up even this hobby, I will live forever." How can we be happy in life even if we have to live in despair?”

"Stop talking and let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"Woooooooo--" The sound of the horn resounded through the sky, and the echo from the valley became increasingly dull and desolate. Five thousand fine cavalry dived into the Ora Pass and galloped across the ridge.

Seeing the smoke raised by the horses' hooves, Sitayu returned to Naluyi worriedly, commanding his soldiers to continuously strengthen the walls, gates and other defensive facilities, and dig a trench around the wall to resist the cavalry charge.

The Ora Pass is almost equivalent to the "life and death line" of the Gar tribe. It is not only the retreat route for Qinling and Bolunzanren, but also the last line of defense for the Gar tribe who are currently depleted of troops. Once the Ora Pass falls, not only the Qinling and Bolu Mountains will be destroyed, but also the Gar tribe's last line of defense. Lunzanren became a lone army just waiting to be killed. Fuqi City had no danger to defend, just waiting for the Tibetan army to cross the Dafeichuan and descend in one fell swoop.

That's why his father sent him to guard this place. This is both trust and pressure.

Sitayu knew very well that he was not as resourceful as his eldest and second brothers, and not as brave as his third and fifth brothers. His only advantage was that he was "good at guarding". No matter what, he had to stick to the Ora Pass and guard the Nalu Station to serve his father and brothers. To add a helping hand to our great ambitions.

……

The brothers Lun Qinling and Bo Lunzanren led five thousand elite cavalry through the Ora Pass and swooped down to the Nuanquanyi Station that had been captured before. There were already more than a thousand Tibetan soldiers who had arrived for reinforcements and were repairing the wall. They heard that the scouts When they came to report that Qin Ling had made a comeback, they were so frightened that they had no intention of fighting. They dispersed in a rush and fled towards the south towards the Liemo Sea with the grain in the post.

On the Qinling soldiers recaptured Nuanquanyi without any bloodshed, and without stopping, they chased the tail of the defeated troops and reached the Liemo Sea.

Liemohai is located about 80 miles south of Nuanquanyi. It is called "the sea". It is actually a large lake formed in a geological depression sandwiched between the remaining veins of two mountains. Several water veins converge and flow from the top of the mountain. Into it, there are many water birds on the water. Only on one side is a winding road passing between the mountain and the lake. The post station built in the north of Tubo and Liemo Sea also has a defensive function and guards the road.

This is the place where the Tang and Tibetan roads must pass, and its strategic location is very important.

At this time, there were no less than ten thousand people gathered at Liemohai Station. The general was Subi Yangxiong, the elder brother of Subi Mojie, the leader of Subi State. Since Subi State "has a woman as its leader", he, the previous leader, was the leader of the country. The eldest son had to stay dormant under his sister Subi Mojie. He was even not allowed to lead his men to station in Liemohai because of Subimojie's suspicion, completely staying away from the core of Subi Mojie's regime.

The day before, he sent people to Nuanquanyi to recover it. He originally planned to station troops and horses for defense. As a result, as soon as the Qinling army arrived, they fled the city without fighting. The angry Subiyangxiong severely whipped the city. Several leaders were beaten Immediately, he received Songtsen Gampo's military order - to resist the invasion of Lun Qinling with all his strength and buy time for subsequent reinforcements. If nothing can be done, the priority should be to preserve the strength. You can take the food and fodder in the city and retreat to Huashi Gorge to hold on. Awaiting assistance.

Subi Yangxiong breathed a long sigh of relief. The Gar tribe suddenly launched troops with the support of the Tang Dynasty and marched southward to continuously conquer Nalu Station and Nuanquan Station. As a result, the two defense lines of Dafeiling and Ora Mountain in northern Tibet fell successively. Lunqinling marched straight into the front of the army and was in full swing. He was panicking and unwilling to stick to Liemohai and engage in a head-on battle with Lunqinling. When he happened to receive the military order from Songtsen Gampo, it was like listening to celestial music.

He was unpopular and jealous in the Subi Kingdom, so he could only rely on a few deployments to station in Liemohai to make a living by exploiting taxes from past business trips. If his subordinates suffered heavy losses because of his insistence on holding Liemohai, how could he gain a foothold in the future?

Zanpu was still humane, knowing that my life was not easy, so he did not force me to stick to it. In comparison, my sister Subi Mojie went too far. She not only tortured her brothers and sisters, but also exploited the people of the country, causing complaints and public sentiments. How to leave the Subi Kingdom to join Zanpu and work for Zanpu?

Maybe one day he will achieve great success and get Zanpu's support to return to the country and depose his sister and ascend to the throne of the country.

Damn it, I don’t know which generation this tradition of the Subi Kingdom was passed down from. Only women can become the leader of the country. How could such a tradition have ever existed in such a big world?

Absolutely ridiculous!

None of the generals on the left and right wanted to fight. Qin Ling was regarded as the number one among the young generation in Tubo. He was outstanding in wisdom, courage and strategy. Now he has successively conquered Naluyi and Wenquanyi. His troops are invincible wherever they point. Whoever is crazy can stand in his way. In front of him?

"General, since Zamp has given the order, let's withdraw now!"

"Lun Qinling is very powerful. His younger brother even killed Lebujie with a mace array. He couldn't stop him!"

Subi Yangxiong raised his hand to suppress the noisy remarks and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we are not welcome in Subi country. Now Zanpu is so understanding and allows us to retreat at any time without fighting to the death. But if we If we really retreat and give up Lemohai before engaging in battle, what do you think Zanpu will think of us?”

Some people were puzzled: "What's so good about that? It was Zamp who personally issued the military order, it's not like we abandoned the city and fled in violation of the military order!"

Some people also said: "Zanpu asked us to put preservation first. This is obviously to reuse the general. If we wait for the wind and run away, it will damage the general's weight in Zanpu's heart."

"It was Zamp who asked us to withdraw, how could it in turn affect the general's weight?"

"Zamp asked us to withdraw because he was considerate of us and pitied us. But if he really doesn't have the courage to fight, why should Zamp reuse a general? No one will reuse a coward!"

Su Biyangxiong said: "This is exactly the truth!"

He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Send my military order. The entire army will form a formation to defend the enemy and guard the inn! Even if we have to retreat, we must bring a contribution to Zanpu. If Qinling wants to cross the Liemo Sea, it will be difficult." Let him peel off a layer of skin! Just snipe at Lun Qinling, delay his progress and hit him hard in Liemohai, and then evacuate in an orderly manner after getting a piece of merit!"

As a general guarding Liemohai, no matter who gave the order, it would be a huge shame to retreat without fighting. Even if Zampu wanted to reuse him, he would not be able to withstand the cynicism of others. How could he be "the defeated general"? Eligibility for reuse?

On the contrary, now that there is an order to allow the retreat, it would be much better in appearance to guard Liemohai with superior troops, give Lun Qinling a head-on blow, and then retreat calmly.

Even though Qin Ling was powerful, I was afraid of facing him, but couldn't he just block it and delay the opponent by relying on the advantage of geographical location and military strength?

Those who had not thought about it all understood, nodded one after another, and immediately gathered their troops to defend themselves against the enemy. They were not welcomed in the Subi Kingdom, but now they were about to become the troops directly under Zanpu, and their status was suddenly improved. , who in the whole of Tubo would dare to look down on them in the future?

But now they were going to block Lun Qin Ling, demonstrate their combat power, delay Lon Qin Ling's advance, and then retreat calmly.

The road on the shore of Lemo Sea is narrow and flat. The ground is made of anti-alkali soil that has been trampled on for many years and is as hard as iron stone. There are mountains on one side and a large lake on the other. One man can block it and no one can open it!

More than 10,000 people lined up on the narrow road. The soldiers in the front row were half kneeling on the ground, holding large shields. Behind each row of shield bearers were spearmen. The typical formation used by the Tang army to block the Tibetan cavalry was now copied by the Tubo army. come over.

Then there are the archers. Although Tubo does not have strong crossbows and cannot make bows well, and even arrow clusters are mostly made of bronze, the cavalry of the Gar tribe also only wear light armor and have very poor defense. No" perfect logic.

The wind blew from the big lake, the battle flags were flapping, and soon I could see the dust kicked up by the galloping cavalry in the distance and the roaring hoofbeats.

The cavalry of the Gar tribe moved from far to near, and the first row of black shadows came quickly, covering the narrow road, making the charge more powerful and overwhelming, with the overwhelming power of mountain torrents.

When the opponent was about to enter the field of arrows, Subi Yangxiong's raised arm suddenly fell down, and more than a thousand long bows were fired at once. The bowstring vibrated and the arrows flew out, drawing a parabola in the air and falling right into the charging enemy. The enemy cavalry is in formation.

Su Piyangxiong watched helplessly as the arrows fell on the enemy cavalry, but he was unable to stop the enemy cavalry for a moment. The enemy cavalry passed through the arrow field in front of the formation like lightning, and suddenly arrived in front of the formation.

The moment they saw the enemy cavalry clearly, Subi Yangxiong and many generals took a breath of cold air and their eyes were about to burst. "Armed cavalry!"
