Du Qi said, "Mister Guo, look to the southwest. There's a group of cavalrymen. They're coming toward the East Mountain. "
Guo Xiaozheng also looked solemn. He immediately looked over with a sharp gaze. After a long while, Guo Xiaozheng suddenly said, "Your Highness, that's the Tibetan cavalry. Only the Tibetan cavalry can be like this in the northwest. Although it's a bit far from here, the flag in their group is the triangular king flag. Although it's not clear, it's easy to tell. "
Du Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "The Tibetan cavalry suddenly attacked, and they're heading towards the Eastern Mountain. We can even infer that they're coming toward us. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Could it be that they're coming toward us?"
"Most likely!"
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Because of my appearance, the chaotic situation in the northwest is gradually becoming clear. Everything is on the right track. This is not a good thing for the Tibetans because they're a bigger threat. So it's normal for them to send their cavalry. Let's go back to the camp and prepare for the battle. "
Guo Xiaozheng carefully looked at the Tibetan cavalry and said, "Your Highness, there are at least two thousand of them. That's quite a number!"
Two thousand elite cavalrymen. Once they were in a fighting stance, their attack was extremely strong.
They were not easy to deal with.
After all, Du Qi's total number of soldiers, including the auxiliary soldiers in the kitchen, was less than four thousand. Moreover, Du Qi's cavalry was only one thousand elite cavalrymen.
If they encountered more than two thousand elite cavalrymen, even if Mordor was strong, he would not be able to turn the situation around.
So they had to prepare in advance.
Du Qi and his group quickly went down the mountain. Although the path up the mountain was rugged, it was easy to go down the mountain. Therefore, the group of people quickly descended the mountain in an extremely short amount of time, leaving behind a trail of dust as they sped towards the military camp.
As soon as they returned to the camp, Du Qi immediately ordered the drums to be on alert. Xiao Yuan Qi and Ma Yuan rushed over, looking at Du Qi and asking, "Your Highness, what happened?"
As Du Qi walked, he said, "When Mister Guo and I went up Dongshan Mountain, we discovered a group of Tibetan cavalry in the southwest of Dongshan Mountain, which is behind us. There were at least two thousand of them, and they were charging in our direction. This team is most likely going to attack us, so we need to be prepared. "
Ma Yuan said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, two thousand elite cavalry are coming. Although we have set up a barricade in the camp, the layout of the camp is not complicated. In this situation, it won't be easy to just defend. "
Xiao Yuanqi said, "I don't have much time. I have to make arrangements quickly."
As they talked, they returned to the campsite.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "We don't have time to think too much about the current situation. I'll talk, you guys listen. "
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yuan Qi!"
"Here!"
Xiao Yuan Qi stood out and said.
Du Qi ordered, "There are some bushes on the left and right sides of our camp. You will lead all the cavalry in the camp and divide them into two teams, one on the left and one on the right. You will ambush them on the left and right sides. The cavalry will be the ambush, and also the surprise force to turn the situation around. You will be in full command. "
"Yes!"
Xiao Yuan Qi replied at once.
Du Qi said, "Of course, I will make a plan. Once there is an emergency in the camp, I will sound the drums. Once I give the order, you will have to lead the army to fight even if the opportunity doesn't come. "
Xiao Yuan Qi said, "I understand!"
Du Qi's eyes turned to Ma Yuan and said, "Ma Yuan, you have more things to do. There are four main things for now. "
"First, spread iron caltrops outside the camp as fast as possible to prevent the cavalry from attacking. Other than iron caltrops, the barricades must also be arranged as the second line of defense to prevent the cavalry from rushing into the camp. "
"Secondly, get the soldiers to quickly dig scattered deep pits and cover them with weeds so that it'll be easier to block the incoming cavalry. It is impossible to dig trenches now. But it is possible to dig deep pits to deal with the warhorses. "
"Third, assemble the archers and wait for orders in the camp. Once the archers are needed to shoot, they can immediately meet the attack. "
"Fourth, arrange a team of spearmen to form a spear formation. Once the Tibetan cavalry breaks our line of defense, we will need the spearmen to stop the cavalry's attack. "
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "As for the rest of the soldiers, wait for orders at any time."
Ma Yuan said, "I understand."
Du Qi then looked at Guo Xiaozheng, Yu Deshui and the others, and said, "There are still some things in the camp that need to be checked and filled. You all think about it and arrange it as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Guo Xiaozheng and Yu Deshui immediately responded.
To them, the sudden attack of the Tibetan cavalry had disrupted their original plan. Furthermore, the cavalry of the Tubo Empire was extremely ferocious. They were not easy to deal with.
Everyone left and went to do their own things.
Each of them had their own things to do.
Du Qi sat in the tent and carefully thought about how to deal with this battle. If one were to say that they were afraid of the Tibetan cavalry, they naturally wouldn't. But for this battle, Du Qi did not want to pay a huge price. He wanted to win with a small price.
About 15 minutes later, Guo Xiaozheng and Yu Deshui arrived. The two of them had arranged everything.
Then, Ma Yuan also came back.
Ma Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged. General Xiao Yuan Qi also sent someone to report that his men are all in position and waiting for the Tibetan cavalry to come. "
Du Qi's eyes were sharp as he said in a deep voice, "Very good. This time, we will properly meet the Tibetan cavalry."
Du Qi paused for a moment and said, "If I'm not wrong, then we obtained some information about Tufan and Yiwu City when we were investigating Yiwu City. At that time, we found out that the Tibetan cavalry often invades Yiwu City and plunder their belongings. However, Yiwu City is not weak and both sides have engaged in fierce battles several times. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Your Highness is right."
After a pause, Guo Xiaozheng said, "Your Highness means that this batch of Tibetan cavalry is actually not coming for us, but for Yiwu City."
Du Qi thought for a while and said, "My deduction is that this batch of Tibetan cavalry's primary target is us. Next is Yiwu City. After taking us down, the Tibetan cavalry will kill their way to Yiwu City and plunder it. "
Guo Xiaozheng nodded and said, "Your Highness' analysis is very pertinent. However, the Tibetan cavalry attacking Yiwu City should be meaningless to us. The most important thing now is to block and take down this batch of Tibetan cavalry. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "Actually, it is useful because the Tibetans have attacked Yiwu City before. If we win this time, we can use this opportunity to win over the people of Yiwu City so that they will not resist us. "
Guo Xiaozheng raised his brows and said, "Your Highness is very thorough. This humble one can only look up to you."
Du Qi did not care about Guo Xiaozheng's praise and said seriously, "From this point of view, we must win this battle. Therefore, we have to win this battle beautifully. "
"Yes!"
Guo Xiaozheng's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
No matter the reason, they must win this battle.
