Chapter 214: Return

With a sharp whistle, the Tang army, which was slashing, suddenly turned their horses' heads together and began to retreat!

"They're going to run! Chase! Chase! Da Jie clamped his legs violently and urged the horse to chase after the Tang army that had gone away.

Before he could finish speaking, a cold, sharp object suddenly choked Dajie's throat, and a backward impact nearly tore him off his horse. His blood gushed out, and a trembling feathered arrow pierced his throat.

The surrounding Tubo soldiers were stunned, and their thousands of households were arrowed!

Dajie's sudden death caused the Tibetan army to be confused for a while.

Mangbuzhi and Suo Ga, the head of a thousand households on the right flank, heard the news and hurriedly ran over, they even forgot to give the order to pursue the retreating Tang cavalry, only a few scattered rangers aimlessly strung around the abandoned camp, throwing torches into the empty tents.

The iron-faced Mangbu branch parted the crowd, and a few arrows came to the corpse of the knot.

Dajie's eyes were as big as a brass bell, and his face was full of pain and despair of unwillingness.

From the first day that Mangbuzhi began to lead his troops into battle, Dajie became his most effective subordinate. Now, Dajie is a dead corpse, and he can no longer fight with Manbuzhi.

Mang Buzhi's lips couldn't help but tremble, he raised his hand to touch Da's cold face, his trembling hands joined his eyes, and the fire of revenge rose in his heart.

Suoga also had a look on his face full of anger, clenched his fists, and his teeth clenched.

Although he and Dajie have always been at odds, it is just a battle of will, after all, they are comrades-in-arms who have fought together for many years! He and Dajie have been fighting with Mangbuzhi for many years, and they have never suffered such a loss as today!

"Maben, you have to hold on, we still have business to do!" Hate Water reminded from the sidelines.

Although Mangbuzhi was sad, reason told him that now was not the time to be sad, and he was considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and it was impossible for him to be defeated so easily.

"Suoga, the baggage team of the Tang Army will not run far, you lead your team to quickly find them and kill them!" After Mangbuzhi finished his order, he glanced at the corpse of Dajie on the ground, and said to Soga: "Dajie and you have been brothers for many years, I will settle him here, and then go and join you immediately!" ”

Suo Ga replied, flew up and jumped on the war horse, pulled out his war knife and pointed straight at the sky, "The sky testifies, I, Suo Ga, will not kill this group of Tang dogs, and swear not to be a man!" ”

Mangbuzhi's majestic and angry voice reached Suoga's ears: "Remember, you must kill them all, and not one of them will be left alive!" Leave not a single one! ”

Suo Ga stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, led the Tubo cavalry under his command, greeted the first rays of dawn in the sky, and chased down the hoof prints of the retreating Tang cavalry.

……

Night Raid Victory!

On the way to the rendezvous of the baggage team, Zhao Lang and his Whirlwind Brigade soldiers looked calm, such a result was too common for them. But the soldiers of the Yulin Army and the unity soldiers brought by Lu Xiaoxian were different, they were all smiling.

Lu Xiaoxian rode on the horse, but he was not happy at all.

Although the first battle was successful, the main force of the Tibetan cavalry was still there, and the annihilation of its right flank only severely weakened the opponent's spirit and slowed down the steps of the Tubo attack, and the fierce battle was still to come.

The sky will soon dawn, and when the Tubo people discover the true strength of the baggage team, they will definitely attack with all their might, and the only side can only defend to the death, and there is absolutely no choice to retreat. The key now is whether these united soldiers can withstand the onslaught of nearly 1,000 Tibetan cavalry and hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Fortunately, there is an elite whirlwind brigade, which makes Lu Xiaoxian feel a little more at ease. I have to thank Wang Xiaojie a lot, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I must invite him to drink and return this favor.

On one high ground, a circular defensive array constructed of baggage wagons was completed. The outer layer was surrounded by forty carts loaded with grain from end to end, and the inner circle of wagons was filled with ordnance, and all the cattle were concentrated in the center of the circle.

Chai Liu, who had not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes, walking around the circle like ants on a hot pot, and his heart was like a mess.

He kept muttering in his heart, Lu Xiaoxian wouldn't take advantage of the dark night to run away with the Whirlwind Brigade, right?

If this is the case, then the Tibetans will come, and they will become meat on the chopping block.

This thought made Chai Liu furious, and he secretly looked at Zhang Meng, who was busy assigning tasks to the slaves, Guo Zhen and Wang Haibin, and he didn't know what he was talking about, they didn't seem to be anything unusual.

Lu Gongzi may not leave his brother behind, right?

That's hard to say!

When his life is threatened, no one can say for sure what choice he will make.

The more Chai Liu thought about it, the more bottomless he felt in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became......

Wang Haibin's 100 soldiers all dismounted and became infantrymen, they were holding spears and had already formed a formation with their backs to the chariots, but the manpower was obviously insufficient, and the distance between each person was too large to withstand the cavalry charge.

Although the opponent has to rush through a large section of steep slope from the bottom to the top if he wants to charge, the speed and impact will be greatly reduced, but after all, there is a huge numerical advantage, as long as it is broken a little, the whole formation will fall apart. If you want to complete the defense, you have to wait for Zhao Lang and Lu Xiaoxian to come back.

The sky was getting brighter, and the east was already white, and the morning mist was brushing through the military formation.

The older veterans of the Solidarity Corps moved their hands and feet, and the nervous young soldiers bit their lower lips, rolled their Adam's apples and kept swallowing saliva, and held crossbows neatly in a standard firing formation, their sharp arrows shining with cold light.

Except for the snorts of the horses and the restless cries of the camels, there was silence on the hills.

Chai Liu licked his lips and involuntarily looked to the northwest, damn, nothing will happen, right?

Not only him, but Wang Haibin, Zhang Meng, Guo Zhen, and all the unity soldiers were anxiously waiting for news from Zhao Lang and Lu Xiaoxian.

"They're back!" Someone stood on the cart and shouted excitedly.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

"Look clearly! Do you see it clearly? Chai Liu couldn't help but ask.

"See clearly, yes, it's them!"

The spirit of everyone in the camp was lifted, especially the united soldiers, who were almost thunderous with joy.

Chai Liu couldn't hold back his excitement, he didn't care about his age, he climbed into the car a few times, and looked into the distance.

A team of people climbed over the hill and appeared in his field of vision, led by Zhao Lang and Lu Xiaoxian.

Hey! Now it's good!

The backbone of the Lord is back!

Chai Liu finally put his mind at ease, his body suddenly relaxed, and he almost didn't fall off the cart!

Zhao Lang's whirlwind brigade rode to the front of the formation, and without too many words, he began to improve the defense in the starting formation in an orderly manner.

The united soldiers who followed Lu Xiaoxian to attack were different, they hugged the people waiting in the formation, and some of them immediately began to brag and talk about the beautiful ambush battle last night.
