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

In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the shouts of battle suddenly surged, and the battlefield, which had already passed its peak, suddenly seemed to come back to life!

Li Yuanchang, who was directing operations on the platform, noticed this immediately and picked up his binoculars.

All that could be seen was a dense, dark mass of Tibetans, blotting out the sky, with even the rear guard that had been stationed on the outskirts being completely mobilized!

In cold weapon warfare, it is generally impossible to send the entire army down unless the decisive moment has arrived; at least a rear guard must be reserved.

This is to prevent unforeseen circumstances or enemy reinforcements, and because if the number of people is too large, it will be difficult to deploy them.

But now, the entire Tibetan army has been committed.

"They're all here!"

"Are they trying to finish this in one last push?" Guo Chao and the others discussed.

Li Yuanchang stared at the Tibetan army for a long time, his eyes filled with suspicion. Why had they suddenly launched a full-scale attack?

The Far Eastern Army had no flaws or disadvantages, and Dayan Mangbuzhi's actions were somewhat unusual.

"Your Highness, the pressure at the four southwest gates has increased dramatically. We must send reinforcements immediately!" someone reminded him.

"Your subordinate is to provide reinforcements!"

"This subordinate will go as well!"

Despite his suspicions, Li Yuanchang knew that the sheer number of Tibetan troops was real, which would inevitably increase the pressure on the major powers.

"Reinforcements of 3,000 troops!"

"Yang Zian, you go!"

"yes!"

Yang Zi'an, the commander of the vanguard awaiting orders, clasped his hands in a fist salute and quickly accepted the command to rush to the rescue.

"Your Highness, wouldn't three thousand men be a bit too few?"

"Since the enemy has committed their entire army, why don't we go all out too? If we can hold out, the Tibetans will surely be defeated!" someone suggested again. After all, three thousand people sounded like a lot, but when distributed and filled into each gate, there were actually only a few hundred people.

Li Yuanchang shook his head.

"We only have so many people, we need to have a backup plan."

"As for the Tibetan army, they may not consist of only these few people."

"There are others?" The generals looked around suspiciously. All the Tibetans in the Gudu Ranch had already launched an attack.

The battle intensified once again.

The Tibetan army, pressing forward with overwhelming force, swept through the Bagua Formation like a tsunami and storm.

boom!

"Hold on, hold on!"

The soldiers on the front lines held their ground fiercely behind their shields, and even when they were battered and bruised, they dared not retreat.

"Throw!!"

The gunpowder wielders, standing on their comrades' thighs, hurled Hanlei (a type of explosive device) outwards with all their might. A series of explosive shockwaves swept through the area, and the Tibetans screamed in agony.

Han Lei cleared a lot of open land, causing the Tibetans to lose ground, which generally slowed down their offensive pace.

But this time, it didn't work. Even with Han Lei's intense bombardment, which killed countless people, the Tibetans still charged forward relentlessly.

"They have a supervisory team!"

"Their supervisory team is outside!"

"These lunatics! They won't allow their own people to back down; they're determined to fight!"

A commander shouted from the arrow tower.

boom! !

Suddenly, a four-meter-wide gap appeared in the gate, and hordes of Tibetans poured in, the scene resembling a latrine that had been clogged for days, with people gushing in.

"not good!"

The expressions of all the soldiers there changed drastically.

"Block it! Block it now!!"

Almost instinctively, all the nearby Far East Army soldiers rushed forward and slashed at anyone they saw.

puff……

The Tibetans were staggered by the blow, and more than twenty of them died on the spot. They probably did not expect to be able to break through the gate. After they realized what was happening, they let out roars and strange cries, and then charged forward, trying to widen the gap.

The two sides then engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

A frenzied exchange of blows, a frenzied charge.

The military commander Luo Yang, who was in charge of guarding this place, had even worn out his Tang sword by cutting it. Fearing that the gate would be breached, he frantically stabbed people with his dagger and was almost dragged into the crowd by the Tibetans.

Fortunately, his subordinates fought bravely to save him; otherwise, if he had been dragged inside, he would have been hacked to pieces.

Relying on their reckless fighting style, none of the Far East troops ran away; their legs were embedded directly into the ground. Thanks to the Bagua Formation's ability to be infinitely repaired, the damaged Kun Gate was finally closed once again.

The bones of the Tibetans were crushed in the middle, and all the hands that reached in were cut off. It was incredibly bloody!

The door was closed, but the pressure on the entire army was still immense.

Kunmen was just one example. Faced with the saturation charge of the Tibetan cavalry, the Bagua Formation was forced to retreat more than ten meters!

The fighting has been going on since morning, and the positions of the troops are no longer in the same places.

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce fighting, the entire Far East Army focused its attention on the main Tibetan force to the southwest.

suddenly!

A black torrent cascaded down from a plateau, rushing towards the "Thunder Gate" of the Bagua Formation from an incredible angle, like a black lightning bolt.

They number approximately 20,000!

It had never appeared at Gudu Ranch beforehand, and the Far East Army was completely unaware of it. Moreover, the starting point of their attack was actually a plateau!

The vertical drop and ruggedness there make it impossible for warhorses and people to pass through. Just looking at it makes you feel that you would fall off even if you were walking, let alone riding a horse.

But this army did it, and not only did it, they arrived as if on flat ground!

These are the Tibetans, the masters of the plateau, who walk on the plateau as if it were flat ground, as if it were their innate skill.

At first, no one noticed, and no one was alarmed.

As the black torrent drew ever closer, creating a tremendous commotion, several scouts on the watchtower inadvertently caught sight of it through their binoculars.

They were struck dumb, and practically jumped off the watchtower, not caring about breaking their legs, and rushed all the way to the platform to report the news.

In fact, they were spotted on the platform even before they arrived.

The platform offered a wide view, allowing them to see every direction of the Gudu Ranch. When the army suddenly appeared and came down from the plateau, they were immediately located.

"As expected, they had a backup plan!"

"I knew it! The reason the Tibetan army suddenly launched a full-scale attack was a feint, creating opportunities for them to break through our lines!"

Li Yuanchang said in a deep voice, "I have already spotted the enemy's banners through my binoculars. They are undoubtedly Tibetans."

Guo Chao and the others looked grave and were filled with lingering fear. There were still six or seven thousand reserve troops left behind at the core of the formation; otherwise, things would have been much more troublesome!

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Han Lei and reinforcements arrived at Leimen to meet the attacking army.

This time, the total number of troops deployed by the Tibetan army exceeded 80,000, which was 40,000 more than the Far East Army. This was enough to attack a city, not to mention that the Far East Army was fighting the enemy on a plain.

The pressure instantly reached its maximum!

No sooner said than done, the Tibetan cavalry arrived, moving like thunder and fire, unstoppable.

Without a shout or any warning, the Tibetans' iron hooves crashed into the "Thunder Gate" of the Bagua Formation.

Boom!

After a terrifying explosion, the Tibetans paid the price of several hundred cavalrymen charging into battle, and hundreds of Lei Men soldiers were knocked back, coughing up blood. Their shields, made of copper and iron and solid wood, exploded.

This was arguably the strongest attack by the Tibetans, and the Thunder Gate of the Bagua Formation was broken in response!

"Ah!!" The Far East Army soldiers on the platform exclaimed in shock, their faces paling!
