After hesitating for a moment, the messenger captain ordered the soldiers and horses behind him to support Songzhou in front of him to join the army, and then said tentatively: "In order to protect Songzhou in this battle, your brothers have worked hard, although Your Highness's order is to order the general to go out of the city to fight, but at this moment, the state of the general and your brothers ・・・・・・?" ”

The messenger captain didn't go on, but the people present could naturally hear the implication of this, in fact, the messenger captain's words were also a good intention, after all, anyone who saw the tragic situation of less than 100 Songzhou soldiers and horses at the moment didn't think that they had the ability to fight again.

But the Songzhou Army, who was originally indifferent, heard that the captain of the communication was so meaningful, and felt that the dignity of the soldiers had been greatly provoked, and the Songzhou Army did not look at the Tang Army in front of him with neat armor and shining swords, but turned to look at the remnants of the army around him who had been born and died for so many days, and the armor was untidy and scarred, and said loudly: "These Tang soldiers said that we are useless, and the brothers told them that our Songzhou soldiers and horses could not retreat?" ”

"When will it be the turn of others to protect the people of Songzhou? You can come to support us and so grateful, but at any time, as long as the war takes place in Songzhou, every war must have my Songzhou soldiers to participate, our Songzhou soldiers and horses must always rush to the front, the glory of the soldiers can not be questioned! “

Seeing that the Songzhou soldiers and horses in front of him were so determined to participate in the war, the captain of the communication team admired it even more, because the battlefield has always been a place that pays attention to strength, and real knives and guns cannot tolerate the slightest fraud, and every Songzhou soldier who can step on the bones of layers of enemies under the repeated attacks of Tubo is a strong man worthy of respect!

After instructing the Songzhou soldiers and horses in front of the two messenger corps in the team who were skilled in medical skills to do a simple bandage, and leaving some people to take care of them, the summoner said to the Songzhou army: "The general is so self-cherished, the military situation is urgent, and we will go into the city to convey the combat orders of His Royal Highness King Shou to the other departments!" "Anyway, without waiting for Songzhou to join the army to reply, he took the remaining thirty or so messengers and rushed towards the city!

Compared with the short-term peace in the city, at this moment, a life-and-death chase has been launched outside Songzhou City. The Tubo desperately fled in front, and Li Qing led the so-called "Hanzhou Brigade" to chase and fight fiercely behind. In a short period of time, nearly 1,000 people and horses have been lost.

Due to Li Qing's deliberate camouflage, coupled with the repeated strict orders that the team should not chase too closely in case the Tibetans found clues, if the Tibetans were really slow to retreat, the Tang army stopped on the spot and just kept waving flags and shouting, and shooting arrows. In this way, some soldiers who were eager to make meritorious contributions were suffocated, but fortunately, Li Qing had foresight in the morning, and for the sake of the text, he sent older and steady generals to be responsible for the pursuit this time, so as to prevent the soldiers from being greedy for merit!

Moreover, in order not to delay the process of pursuit, Li Qing also issued another relatively cruel order: there was no need to take prisoners, and all the Tubo soldiers who fell were all killed. The casualties of the Tubo skyrocketed, but the pursuit speed of the Tang army did not decrease at all, after all, there were no prisoners, so the relevant steps of escort and interrogation were omitted, and naturally a lot of time was saved, until a group of Tubo soldiers in front of them appeared with armor and scimitars! “

When a cronie reported that Li Qing such a group of Tibetan soldiers appeared, Li Qing, who had sworn by him, suddenly frowned, because looking at it, the Tubo army in front of him knew at a glance that it must be the elite of the elite.

Sighing secretly, Li Qingzhen underestimated the commander of this Tubo army, and really didn't expect that the other party would really be willing to use such an elite force in exchange for the breakthrough of the whole army. Others dare not say that if they have such an elite team in their hands, unless they are mortal, it will be normal. I am really reluctant to abandon such an elite team, after all, now Li Qing can be regarded as half of the commander of the army, and naturally knows that it will take at least several years to train such a group of strong Tibetan men of all heights and strength, who are as if they were at home in death, not to mention the material, manpower and financial resources spent during the period!

If you retreat like this, it is obviously a pity that the Tubo army in front of you has not been injured, after all, there is such an opportunity today. It was difficult to appear a second time, and he turned his hand and looked at the right army and horse envoy of the Yamen who came with him beside him, and asked: "How much time do the military horses in Songzhou City have to catch up with us?" ”

Li Qing didn't understand, even if his own momentum was monstrous at the moment, and the sergeants were in their prime, it was obviously unrealistic to swallow the other party with less than 2,000 Tang troops.

Li Qing asked, and the soldiers and horses of the right army who knew Li Qing's character naturally understood that His Royal Highness King Shou would never ask anything irrelevant at such a critical moment, and did not dare to delay for a moment, so he immediately said: "Your Highness, I just visited the Malay report, and the Tang army originally stationed in Songzhou City will be able to catch up with us in about a quarter of an hour!" ”

Nodding, looking at the dozen or so grassroots generals around him who were waiting for him to give orders, Li Qing waved his hand: "I can't wait, if Songzhou City rushes here, send someone to inform them, you don't need to ask this king for instructions, you can directly participate in the battle!" ”

After that, looking at the leader of the Green Moth Guard beside him and the more than thirty Green Moth guards beside him, Li Qing said undoubtedly: "Once the battle starts, you will immediately lead all the members of the Green Moth Guard to mix in front of the team, tear a hole for the attacking Tang Army, and relieve them of pressure!" ”

Li Qing naturally knew that if time relied on these Tang troops around him at this moment, it would be difficult to break through the solid defense line formed by these elite soldiers and horses of Tubo!

did not give Li Ye and a group of generals a chance to persuade, Li Qing rode alone to the front of the team, looked at a group of eager generals behind him, and said with a whip: "Soldiers, Tubo invaded my frontier, attacked my Songzhou, killed my soldiers, killed my people, this revenge is not shared, now the culprit is ahead, brothers kill them, avenge the death of Paoze!" “

"In this battle, those who dare to retreat will be executed, and this king will take the lead and will never back down! The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and in this battle, this king wants to let the blood of the Tubo people pay tribute to the dead heroic souls of my Tang Dynasty! ”

The Tang Army, which was already imposing, saw that His Royal Highness King Shou, who was supposed to be the commander of the first army and did not have to take this risk, actually appeared in person and rushed to the front of the team, which further stimulated the enthusiastic soldiers!

Looking at the young man riding a black horse without armor and a black robe like a god's mansion in front of him, the nearly 2,000 Tang soldiers present all knelt down involuntarily, and shouted in unison like a tsunami: "Your Highness's order, we will fight to the death and follow Your Highness to the death!" ”

"Anyway, stand up, mention, release the arrows, the Tang army who were originally afraid because of the situation of the Tubo army on the opposite side is burning in their hearts at this moment, but the surging fire of meritorious service, not to disappoint His Royal Highness King Shou, who exists like a god's mansion in front of them!"

With the green moth guard opening the way in front of the team, and the morale of the Tang army at this moment has reached its peak, it didn't take much time, an elite Tubo soldiers and horses in front of him were torn open by the wolf-like Tang army, completely dividing and surrounding the Tubo army, which was originally like an iron plate!

And Li Qing, who was originally rushing in front of the team with arrows, was gradually protected by the surrounding Tang army, and the soldiers' requirements were actually very simple, what they wanted was just an attitude that their master would not be afraid of death and dare to fight, rather than really wanting the master to die on the spot.
