In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

"Good, very good!"

"I will bury you all in the Tibetan pastures!" Dayan Mangbuzhi was furious and issued a death threat before storming off and returning to his camp.

As the back-and-forth exchanges escalated, the situation became increasingly heated.

What surprised Li Yuanchang was that despite his mockery and provocation, the usually boorish Tibetans did not rush to attack. Instead, they waited for a full quarter of an hour before sounding the horn of attack.

"Waaaaah!"

The desolate bugle call is like an avalanche on the plateau, symbolizing death and annihilation.

The terrifying Tibetan army, with astonishing speed, began to crash into the Far East army camp from all directions.

"They're here! They're here!"

"The Tibetans are coming!"

"Brothers, fire the arrows!"

"Ready!"

"Mount up!!"

The entire Far East Army erupted in shouts, activated its formations, unleashed a torrent of killing intent, and instantly entered combat mode.

Li Yuanchang, gripping the railing tightly on the platform, stared intently at the vast sea of ​​Tibetan cavalry outside, muttering to himself, "Come on, the more the better! Let's see who the true overlord is!"

Amidst the deafening shouts of battle from both sides, a dark cloud gathered.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps...

One is the strongest army from the mysterious plateau, known as the forbidden zone of life; the other is the core elite from the Tang Dynasty in the East, trained in modern technology.

The two sides attacked and defended, eclipsing the sun and moon.

The purpose of this direct confrontation was no longer the Gudu Ranch itself, but rather that both sides wanted to defeat each other in order to gain control of Tuyuhun and even Hexi.

The arrow rain that used to be able to suppress regular armies fell into the dense Tibetan cavalry as if it had fallen into a mudslide, and was instantly submerged without even a ripple.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, bang!

A terrifying roar erupted from the edge of the Bagua Formation as Tibetan cavalry charged into the fray, their thousands of heads simultaneously pounding into the Far East Army's formation.

The commotion was like mountains colliding and the earth sinking, breathtaking and indescribable in its grandeur.

Visibly, the Qian Gate of the Bagua Formation was severely damaged, and the entire defensive line formed by the Far East Army was smashed into a huge dent, unable to withstand the pressure!

"ah!!"

In the middle, warhorses and men were crushing each other, blood gushing out, and at least hundreds of people had their bones broken in an instant.

The Tibetan army demonstrated its terrifying strength as the master of the plateau from the very first move, and the first wave of attacks alone caused great trouble for the Far East Army.

Yuan Tuo's position was on the verge of being breached.

Countless swordsmen leaned forward, their arms supporting their teammates' backs, forming a human pyramid, one layer after another, desperately holding off the enemy's charge.

This is also the most dangerous moment. The first wave of cavalry charge is the hardest to withstand. If we can't withstand it, the Bagua Formation will be broken.

After all, an array is just an array; it's not some kind of mystical magic. Everything is based on people. If the difference in strength between people is too great, they can't even stand up, so how can the array function?

At this moment, even Li Yuanchang, looking at the Bagua formation that was almost deformed by the impact, tensed up completely.

Once the formation is broken, the Tibetan army will pour in, turning it into a chaotic battle, with casualties increasing rapidly.

The reason he didn't leave was to reduce the huge losses caused by the siege and the ensuing melee.

Those three breaths felt like an eternity.

The terrifying inertia and impact were finally broken by another huge roar.

It was a warhorse clad in armor, which was blasted into the sky, its body torn to pieces and turned into a bloody mist.

"Han Lei!"

"It's Han Lei!"

The shield bearers in the front row, bearing heavy pressure, finally received Han Lei's throw and explosion, and were not instantly broken through.

Bang bang bang! !

Countless Han Lei were thrown out, and in the instant flames shot into the sky, a rain of blood and agonizing screams followed.

The once invincible Tibetan army suffered heavy losses and continued to suffer defeats.

"roar!"

The warhorses neighed and ran wildly, losing their unstoppable momentum.

Yuan Tuo struggled to his feet in the army formation, drew his sword, and roared, "Brothers, hold them back! Hold them back!"

"yes!"

"Kill them!"

The Far East Army roared, their morale soaring, and under Han Lei's cover, they fought their way back with their bare hands.

With shields in front and spears piercing through their bodies, they relentlessly slaughtered the Tibetan cavalrymen charging into battle.

The Bagua formation, which had been dented by the impact, is visibly returning to normal little by little.

Li Yuanchang on the platform felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders!

The most difficult moment has passed. If the battle drags on into a stalemate, then the defeat of the Tibetan army is inevitable. No army can withstand tens of thousands of Han thunderbolts!

About two miles outside the vast Bagua formation, on a Tibetan war chariot, Dayan Mangbuzhi, seeing that the formation had not been broken, angrily whipped his horsewhip, and the wooden poles shattered with a crack.

"waste!"

"General, Li Yuanchang is a sorcerer. The casualties are too heavy. If we have no way to defend against the enemy, we should retreat!" a Tibetan general shouted.

"That scoundrel spreading rumors, kill him for me!" Dayan Mangbuzhi roared. As the commander-in-chief, he was a man of rich combat experience.

Anyone who undermines morale is executed without hesitation. This isn't out of stubbornness, but rather because once someone is on the table, there's no reason to back down.

Those who give up halfway are always the biggest losers.

At this moment, the 20,000 Far Eastern troops were like a naked beauty in his eyes—a golden opportunity that he could not afford to miss!

He sent men to challenge them, partly to confirm Li Yuanchang's presence and partly to get a closer look at the exact number of Far Eastern troops.

Only after confirming this information did he launch his fierce attack.

He Dayan Mangbuzhi is more shrewd than anyone else!

"No matter the cost, Li Yuanchang must be buried here today. This is not merely a matter of gaining or losing Gudu Ranch, but a decisive blow from our Tibetan Empire to the Tang Empire!"

"With the most capable king of the Tang Dynasty dead here, what will Chang'an use to command the other states?!"

"By my order, no one is to retreat!"

"Pass on the order..."

Dayan Mangbuzhi was filled with bloodlust, constantly issuing orders and deploying troops, regardless of the fact that the area in front of him had already been bombed into mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The Tibetan army sounded its horns again, and a large number of command flags waved. The attacking army at the front immediately changed formation, with the main force of cavalry rushing out from both sides and entering through multiple passages of the Bagua formation.

"kill!!"

The spirited Tibetan cavalry, brandishing their scimitars, charged recklessly, believing they had broken through. In reality, it was merely a dead end deliberately left out by the Bagua Formation!

From a bird's-eye view, the four gates of the Bagua Formation were wide open, and countless Tibetan cavalrymen had poured in.

The massive Bagua formation officially entered high-intensity operation, with the inner layer rotating counterclockwise and the outer layer rotating clockwise, constantly cutting off, dividing, and driving the Tibetan cavalry to different areas.

"open!!"

The shield opened wide, and a swordsman suddenly sprang out from behind it.

"cut!"

Puff puff……

"roar!"

A large number of Tibetan warhorses had their legs severed, causing the riders and horses to fall to the ground.

"prick!!"

The sharp spears thrust out simultaneously, all in one fluid motion.
