Chapter 218: Glory Despite Defeat

Lu Xiaoxian's decision to let the Whirlwind Brigade be the reserve team was correct, and in the face of extreme danger, it was finally time for the Whirlwind Brigade to play.

Zhao Lang ordered the soldiers of the Whirlwind Brigade to close towards the gap, and the addition of this new force quickly stabilized the situation.

The morale of the united soldiers was greatly boosted, and the sharp crossbow arrows were still being fired, and the Tubo cavalry who rushed in front lay down with a large number of men and horses, and the corpses were almost as high as the carriage.

Mang Buzhi shouted, and the big axe in his hand cut off the spear of one of the unity soldiers, and the sharp axe blade cut a long blood mark on the opponent's face and chest.

Seeing this scene, a unity soldier next to him seemed to be stunned, and was stunned on the spot with a shield, and Mang Buzhi turned around and cut off the head of this unity soldier with an axe, and the headless corpse was still standing there, with blood spurting out of his neck.

The horses' hooves rumbled, blood splashed, and Mangbu led dozens of Tibetan warriors to rush into the inner circle of the car formation like a galloping rapids!

The cavalry, who had been overturned to the ground, also swarmed along the gap, and the melee between the two sides began!

Zhao Lang commanded the Whirlwind Brigade to kill madness, and the Tubo infantry who were scrambling to cross the gap fell one after another, and those behind rushed up with their shields desperately.

At this time, Lu Xiaoxian also lost the ease he had when he attacked the Tubo army last night, panting and kicking a Tubo soldier in the lower abdomen, and his left hand took advantage of the situation to plunge an arrow into the opponent's only eye that was not tightly wrapped in heavy armor!

At the moment when the Tibetan soldiers fell, Lu Xiaoxian picked up a horizontal knife with his foot, and cooperated with Zhang Meng to rush straight to the gap, only to see the knife flashing, and several Tubo soldiers screamed and rolled out of the carriage.

The Tibetan cavalry rushing in was frantically slashing at the chaotic crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen who were desperately resisting were clearly in dire need of reinforcements, otherwise they would soon collapse.

"Go to the crossbowman!" Lu Xiaoxian shouted and rushed towards the crossbowman first, followed closely by Zhang Meng.

The tip of Lu Xiaoxian's knife drooped, blood gushed down from the blood trough, and drop by drop fell on the corpse at his feet.

He coldly glanced at the five Tubo swordsmen who surrounded him with shields, his sharp gaze swept over the five pairs of nervous eyes. Every time he passed by, it caused a tremor among the Tubo soldiers, this young man of the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that he had already killed nine Tubo soldiers in a flash of lightning.

A drop of sweat on his forehead slid silently and hung crystal on the tip of Lu Xiaoxian's nose.

He secretly rejoiced, fortunately with the addition of the Whirlwind Brigade, otherwise he would be tired and tired to death if he continued to kill by himself, you must know that killing people is also a hard work.

Lu Xiaoxian's horizontal knife was slowly raised, and several Tubo soldiers stared directly at his blade, their eyes were the only place where the heavy armor was unprotected, even if they couldn't see the expressions of these iron-clad masked Tubo people, Lu Xiaoxian could feel the shock in their hearts, and there was a wet stain near the mouth and nose of the iron armor, which was caused by their heavy breathing......

Lu Xiao was idle, he couldn't see his figure clearly, he only saw the sword light!

Only the sword light!

Before he could fall, Lu Xiaoxian turned around and unloaded the left shoulder of his companion on the right along with the shield, leaving the remaining three Tubo soldiers to retreat one after another under Lu Xiaoxian's aggressive gaze, and they had completely lost the courage to fight the enemy.

"Devil! Devil! The three Tibetan warriors whispered tremblingly, "Devil ......"

They trembled, but they did not dare to retreat.

At this moment, the trumpet of the Tibetan retreat sounded.

The three Tibetan soldiers in front of Lu Xiaoxian glanced at each other, turned their heads and ran away as if they had been amnestied.

The Tibetan cavalry's Maben Mangbuzhi was still fighting hard in the baggage convoy, who ordered the trumpet to retreat?

The Tibetan military order has always been strict, and if you do not retreat, it is tantamount to violating military discipline, which is punishable by death. Including Mangbuzhi, all the Tibetan cavalry quickly broke away from the chariot formation and retreated.

Seeing that the Tibetan cavalry had retreated, everyone in the car formation breathed a sigh of relief and cheered in unison.

Finally held on!

Lu Xiaoxian felt that his hands and feet were a little weak, and there were two slight knife wounds on his body, and when he looked down, he saw that black blood was splashed all over his body, all of which were the blood of Tibetan soldiers!

This is not the first time Lu Xiaoxian has gone into battle to kill the enemy, when he was in Panzhou, he had fought with the rebels who talked about Ruyi. However, at that time, the imperial army was in an advantage, the rebels were at a disadvantage, and Lu Xiaoxian's rogue army had a very strong will to fight, and he was in no danger on the battlefield.

But this time it was different, the unity army was at a disadvantage, and the Tubo cavalry was at an advantage, and the combat effectiveness of the Tubo cavalry was not the same as that of the Panzhou rebels, and the slightest carelessness could cost their lives.

Fortunately, they persevered, and now the battle is over, but thinking about the danger just now, I can't help but be a little afraid.

The Tibetans are indeed very brave, they are fighting for their faith, and they are still glorious despite defeat!

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't take a break, and shouted at Chai Liu: "Uncle Chai, quickly gather the brothers, count the number of people, and find all the injured and dead!" None of them can be pulled down! ”

Chai Liu's expression was a little dazed, he had fought a battle all his life, which time was not as dangerous as this time, it was equivalent to walking around the ghost gate and coming back.

He glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and didn't respond, just thinking that if it weren't for the preparations Lu Xiaoxian had made before, it was estimated that they would have died ten times.

Chai Liu felt a little puzzled, how did Lu Xiaoxian know that these Tubo people were going to attack their baggage team?

It wasn't until Lu Xiaoxian called him again that he came back to his senses.

……

Returning to the starting point, Manbuzhi jumped off his horse and looked at the hateful water that greeted him.

He stared at the hateful water viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "It's you, it's you who let the horn of retreat sound!" ”

Hatred Shui nodded indifferently: "That's right!" It's me! ”

"Why? You don't have the authority to do this, I'm Maben, are you going to make us swallow the bitter pill of failure? Mang Buzhi roared.

"Wake up! Lord Maben! Hatred Water said mercilessly, "Look at how many people are left around you, if you continue to fight, will there be a second result in addition to the annihilation of the whole army?" ”

Mang Buzhi subconsciously looked left and right, and the 1,000 Tubo cavalry he brought with him were now only more than 100 people, and nearly ninety percent of the battle losses were lost, which was no different from the annihilation of the entire army.

"I'd rather die in battle than come back alive like this!" Mangbuzhi roared at the hatred water, "You will never understand, the Tibetan warriors are not afraid of death!" ”

Hatred Water was still calm: "I know that Maben is not afraid of death, maybe I really don't understand your thoughts, but one thing I know very well, you can't die now!" ”

Mang Buzhi was about to speak with red eyes, but he heard the hatred water preemptively say: "If you die like this, have you thought about the situation of Da Yi?" ”
