Time comes to the ninth year of Taiping, September 22nd.

Li Xun climbed up the city wall and looked at the endless Tubo army outside the city, his face was heavy and his heart was equally heavy.

In the battle that night a few days ago, Li Xun risked his life in order to retain the 10,000 Qiubai cavalry. He went into battle to kill the enemy in person. The commander used his life, and the soldiers of the three armies naturally became more courageous. In the end, the opponent was completely wiped out. De Zui's horses were killed. After being shot to death, De'an gave him his horse and let him escape. He broke out on foot and was finally shot by Lei Wanhai. The Qiubai tribe's 10,000 cavalry army was wiped out, and De Zui almost lost his life with only his body. No, his brother was killed, but he escaped with dozens of people.

Li Xun's losses were equally heavy. More than 5,000 people were killed in the battle, and 3,000 to 4,000 people were slightly or seriously injured, nearly half of whom were injured.

On another battlefield less than twenty miles away from Li Xun, the 5,000 cavalry led by Li Xiao and Gao Qiu also fought a beautiful ambush. The more than 20,000 infantry led by Daang were caught off guard. After the night before last night, Zain suffered a disastrous defeat, nearly ten thousand people were killed, and Deputy General Da'ang was killed. Da'ang himself did not dare to fight, and led the defeated army back to Broken Dragon Castle, and did not dare to come out now.

Later, Li Xun, Li Xiao, Gao Qiu and others joined forces to fight Kodadu again. Li Xun deliberately spread the news of the defeat of the Daang and Dezu armies. Kodadu was horrified and did not know what the Jin army was doing. Realistically, they didn't dare to fight, so they had no choice but to lead their troops and retreat towards Dragon-Breaking Castle.

Five thousand cavalry led by Hu Xian attacked Shanzhou at night and achieved a great victory. The three Tubo barracks outside the city were dispersed one after another. Gu Yong led 20,000 Jin troops rushed out of the city and attacked Hu Xian front and back. , defeated the Tibetan army besieging the city and killed more than 20,000 enemies.

Subsequently, Li Xun, Gu Yong, Li Xiao and others joined together, with nearly 40,000 troops and more than 80,000 civilians, to retreat towards Xiaogu County.

After Gewapide took control of Tubo, he launched the second battle of Longyou. It was a smooth sailing. He first took Liangzhou and defeated Ma Wu, the governor of Anbei Jiedu, and then took Yizhou and killed the south Longyou Daojie. Xu Chengliang, the Du envoy, captured Liu Zhigu, the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Feidu, the general of Langzhou, fled without fighting. Only Shanzhou was left as an isolated city in the entire Longyou North Road. Although the plan to unite the Hu people to capture Anbei eventually failed, The Liao Dynasty promised that it would never help the Jin Dynasty against Tibet.

The beginning of the Second Battle of Longyou was a good one for Tubo. Gewabidde was full of ambition and actively prepared the next plan to achieve unprecedented glory for himself and Tubo.

However, in just two nights, a Jin Dynasty general named Li Xun led an army of only 30,000 people. Instead of retreating, he advanced into Langzhou and used an ambush to defeat Dezui's 20,000 troops and Da Da. The 50,000-strong follow-up army led by Ang used the same method the next night, at the expense of abandoning Langzhou, and 80,000 Han people were used as bait to lure the troops led by Dezui into pursuit. The defenders of Xiaogu County also boldly attacked. Once again, Dezu was defeated in an ambush battle. The Qiubai tribe's 10,000 cavalry army was wiped out. Dezu's younger brother, De'an, a fierce general who was famous in Tubo, died in this war. At the same time, the Jin army They used 5,000 cavalry to raid Shanzhou, and they attacked the 20,000 defenders in Shanzhou City from both front and back, and defeated the more than 80,000 Tibetan troops who besieged the city.

The Jin army, which was originally divided into several places, joined forces and was caught off guard. Thousands of people were killed and wounded. Although I don’t know how the Jin army, which was originally trapped in Shanzhou, suddenly arrived in Langzhou, it must be there. Something serious had happened, and the situation in Dezui was probably in danger. In the end, for the sake of conservatism, Anmo gathered his troops alone in Langzhou, putting self-preservation first and not fighting the Jin army.

Later, Li Xun led the army, singing triumphantly, and came into contact with Kedadu's 10,000 cavalry. Neither side used much force, because Kedadu had already learned that his back had been captured by the Jin army, and Daang Daang

After being defeated and retreating, tens of thousands of troops came from Langzhou. I don’t know what happened to Langzhou and Shanzhou. Kedadu was afraid that he would be alone, which would be dangerous. Therefore, Kedadu couldn’t

Dare to fight, he led the army to retreat and fled to Broken Dragon Castle.

With no resistance, Li Xun led more than 40,000 troops and nearly 170,000 people to successfully return to Xiaogu County.

"Li Xun, is your injury okay?"

There was a voice behind him, and Li Xun turned to look, but it was Gu Yong walking over.

Li Xun chuckled and said, "A little skin injury is okay."

In the fierce battle with Dezui that night, both sides were already red-blooded until the end. Even the few

Li Xun, who came to fight, rushed to the front line, and finally defeated the Qiu Bai tribe with the advantage of numbers in the final struggle. De'an was killed, and Dezui was seriously injured and fled, but Li Xun also suffered some injuries.

Injuries: An arrow hit his shoulder, which was shot by Dean. He was stabbed several times on his body, but the injuries were not serious, which was fortunate.

In fact, with De'an's bravery, he finally grabbed the war horse and had a chance to break out of the siege. But when he saw Li Xun, not far away, his eyes suddenly turned red, his brain became hot, and he rushed over.

He gave Li Xun an arrow, but in the end he also saved his own life.

Gu Yong took a look at the Tubo army outside the city. There were dead bodies all over the plains. On top of the city, many soldiers were leaning against the wall, closing their eyes and resting. At this time, some soldiers came to the top of the city carrying baskets and distributed food to the soldiers.

.

The Tibetan army of more than 200,000 troops arrived at dawn today. Without any explanation, they immediately launched an attack on the city. From day to dusk, they launched five rounds of attacks. Then they temporarily retreated and took a moment to rest and recuperate.

Li Xun followed Gu Yong's gaze and sighed: "It seems that our power is still a bit weak after all, and we cannot change the overall situation."

Gu Yong shook his head and said softly: "Li Xun, you have created a miracle. Without you, 20,000 soldiers, including me, would have died in Shanzhou. By that time, with the help of Wang Renzhi's

With more than 20,000 soldiers, facing the Tibetan army of more than 200,000 people, it is unlikely that they will be able to hold on for even a day."

After this battle, Gu Yong looked at Li Xun with admiration, and Li Xun's actions made him admire him very much.

The two had known each other a few years ago. It was during the Jiangnan War. At that time, Li Xun had just made his debut and entered the official career with the empty post of military supervisor and judge. Although Li Xun performed well during the Jiangnan War,

Not bad, but afterwards, Gu Yong did not establish any friendship with Li Xun, but had little communication with each other. This is not difficult to understand. Li Xun was born in a poor family, and relied on the relationship with the noble concubine Li Yi to enter his official career. This

In Gu Yong's view, he looked down on a typical nouveau riche at all and did not bother to deal with Li Xun. Although Li Xun later did a lot of things and achieved a lot of achievements, in terms of political background,

In the eyes of Gu Yong, who came from a famous family, Li Xun was still very lowly.

However, Li Xun's performance in the previous series can be regarded as turning the tide. He won successive wars and rescued Gu Yong and other 20,000 soldiers who were trapped in Shanzhou. This is almost comparable to the head of a general among ten thousand armies.
