The goal of the Xifan army in the second half of the day when the war started was to mobilize the former army Laru and Sun Boru to form a "storm" (the name of the strategic cluster temporarily formed by Xifan), plus Xiao Dongdai and the Imperial Army infantry, completely defeating the Tang army city lined up in front of Checheng. Doing so may force the main force of the Tang army in the city to fight. If Gao Yue dared not fight, he forced him into Checheng and then surrounded him on all sides.

In Checheng, Gao Yue, who had made the deployment, also learned from the scout and the marquis on the Chaoche that tens of thousands of Xifan troops listed attack formations along the plains at the foot of Pengpo Mountain, which was just three miles away from Checheng.

At this time, Gao Yue deliberately arranged Checheng three miles behind Pingrong City to show the effect of blocking the formation space of Xifan, and the huge fault between Pingrong City and the Lingmochuan area on the west side, the Xifan's formation was cut into three sections - namely the front army Laru, Sun Boru, and the Xiaodongdai, the infantry of the imperial guard Dongdai, the total number of combat soldiers was less than 30,000. Then there were ten thousand light-armed mediocre men who guarded Pingrong's ancient city. Behind was Cai Bang's camp, and nearly 10,000 Xifan soldiers lined up along the Lingmochuan to camp, preparing for the front army to seize the area around Gaoyue Checheng, and then follow up.

However, the former army was already a very elite unit of Xibo, and Cai Bang was very confident in it. He asked the Qinghai Dao Dabo to ride a horse and take on the command responsibilities of the current army.

Lunhoubo watched all the infantry and knight soldiers of the former army ate barley noodles, and took out the dried apricots and raisins from their luggage for a long time, and then passed the low-altitude barley wine to each other. After the meal was finished, the sound of the bronze drums sounded first, and then the drums of the various Dongdai responded, and the drums of the entire snow-capped mountains quickly shook the sky.

This is the general signal of Xifan's attack.

Gao Yue, who was climbing the highest artillery for Checheng at the same time, stood beside the gun position of a large copper cannon in front of him. Looking at the snow field in front of him, no, there was no snow field, and it was all covered by the infantry and cavalry of the Tang and Turkish sides. The loosely deployed vanguards of the two armies were only a single arrow apart. However, when Gao Yue saw the Xifan attacking his front army, he still laughed:

Thirty thousand people cannot be arranged in depth in less than three miles, so the fear wave can only pull the formation into an extremely narrow shape, with the front line of protectors and ragged mediocre men. The two Ruben cavalry were stretched on both sides, and the core was the Xiaodongdai infantry and some imperial guards. This formation was seven or eight miles wide.

The snow stopped, and the wind blowing from the narrow mountain pass on the other side of Pengpo Mountain still enveloped the thick lead-gray snow clouds on the battlefield. Now they were about to be shaken a little by the endless drum sounds of the Xifan front army.

Around Gaoyue's cannon building, the wind blew the raised flags. The gunners were constantly carrying shells and divine thunder medicines sparsely across a distance, and some were cutting long twist ropes. Everything was so orderly that they were not frightened by the sound of drums attacking by Xifan.

The harsh bronze trumpet sound surged into the sky. At this time, the soldiers of Dongdae, both the infantry and the cavalry of the Xifan army, began to run. The sharp and long spears lined up into the woods and swayed rapidly. The cavalry suddenly plucked up the bridles from the front and back. They threw down their luggage at a very light and fast speed, as if they were suddenly far away in the sky. As a result, they were immediately close to their eyes, with armor everywhere, dark flashes of armor and weapons, steps, trumpets, horse hooves and the friction between iron tools, almost piercing the eardrums.

"Start the cannons and let the city fight!" Gao Yue said calmly.

The two gunners hurriedly helped him up and covered him with their bodies. Then the mouth of the big copper cannon shook rapidly, and the iron chains that tied it were trembling, almost cracking.

The other two cannon bases also sprayed out huge fireworks.

Three hot and red shells flew out from above Checheng, flying past Tang Juncheng, and hitting the front military headquarters in Xifan. At dozens of steps apart, clusters of blood mist, broken limbs and dirty snow mud were splashed.

Sure enough, the Tang Dynasty's cannons were powerful, and those who were in charge were all made into powder and meat paste!

The Tang army's cities were surrounded by formations, and because of the stimulation and inspiration of their cannons, all of them were filled with blood. The barbarians pulled their wooden bows and fired out the poisonous arrows in their hands, or swung their rattan cards and long swords and giant axes, and rushed forward. The Qiang and Hu people in the Zhenyuan army, either walking on the arch or riding horses and holding spears, also fought bravely.

The countless mediocre people in front of Xiban turned around from the fear caused by the shells falling from the sky. They half-kneeled, swung the stone casting tools in their hands, and soon flew out raindrops and threw stones on the shields or flesh of the city's army, making a dull sound of blunt objects. The formation of the city's army's army roamed like waves, and many people fell down, either dead or injured.

The big bronze cannons in the Checheng were fired one after another, and thick smoke rose up and mixed into the snow clouds, regardless of each other: the seven small Dongdai in the center of Xifan - Jide Xiaodongdai and Baga Xiaodongdai in Xiangxiongru, Naxiu Xiaodongdai in Sunboru, Cuoyi Xiaodongdai in Laruli, Xiang Xiaodongdai in Yeruli, Luoruo Xiaodongdai in Yoruli, and Yere Xiaodongdai in Weiruli, a total of more than 2,000 heavy armored warriors, mixed with light servants, erected extremely long spears, waved terrifying anchor axes, chopped swords, and followed by two thousand Dongdai imperial guards who were also lined up with densely lined up. The chain armor on each of them was shiny and fiercely rushed over, and they directly fought with the ones in the middle of the Tang army city, and fought against the Qiang and infantry in the Xishan Mountains.

Countless battle flags were shaking, and they could be savage and Xishan Qiang were not enemies of Xibo Xiaodongdai or the Imperial Guard Infantry. They were stabbed, trampled, and then chopped into pieces. However, under the encouragement of Gaojigong's cannon, they still fought bloody battles. One team was injured in battle, and the other team followed up. Although the Western soldiers, although they had the upper hand in hand with the enemy in front of them, the cannons fired from a long distance in Checheng posed an extremely serious threat to them. The congested rear team was hit from time to time. Many elite soldiers had not yet killed the enemy, or even saw the face of the enemy, and were hit by cannon balls or overturned by the smashed earth waves. They were really worthless.

"Low, low, low to fight!" The supervising battle continued to ride horses, shuttled and shouted among the east and west.

He could see the thick smoke coming out of the Checheng City, a black cannon ball rose, with a sharp whistle, and then fell into the scene of his own formation.

When a team of Dongdai Imperial Guards had just half kneeled, the Tang army's cannon balls flew over the long spear they raised, breaking more than ten, and drilling into the land behind them. The broken wooden poles and spear blades were churning in the air, and the soil raised was scattered, all splashing onto the team of imperial guards' armor behind. The original silver-white armor turned gray-black, which was spectacular.

"Duke Ji, the central government's barbarism and the Xishan Qiang can no longer resist." On the towering cannon tower in Checheng, Wang Youdao, Gao Gu and Zhang Jingze pointed to the soldiers who were retreating in chaos in front of the city and said to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue saw that it would be barbaric. The Xishan Qiang had begun to collapse one after another. They could not stop the strong attacks of the elite Xifan soldiers. The Qiang soldiers, wearing headscarves or wearing felt hats, dragged their weapons and began to shout and rush here.
